Today is Meme Monday and is a little thing that Thomas LaRock (Blog | Twitter) has started. Today he has started things off with a list of things that could cause a Database to go "wrong" that are not always disk related.
He has tagged a few people to add to the list in an effort to get up to 99 things that are unique that could cause failures in the database. I haven't been tagged, but wanted to throw out a few of my thoughts to add to the list.
- invoices – missing, unpaid, or wrong altogether
- vendors (misinformed, ship wrong items)
- undefined requirements
- bad documentation
- rampant use of sa
- no backups at all (full, log, or otherwise)
- very wide clustered indexes (i.e. three guids make up the PK and Clustered Index)
- P2V of a VLDB (not always bad but can be disastrous)
- Catch-all queries
These are some of the things I have seen cause some database problems. Sure some of these things are more encompassing than just the database (like a vendor shipping the wrong part), but they can have a huge impact on the database.

Last Thursday at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, monologist Mike Daisey told the audience he had a confession to make.
Before coming to Austin, Daisey said, he asked his Facebook friends where he should eat in town. He received an onslaught of barbeque suggestions from Austinites passionately defending their favorites. "People were un-friending each other about where I should eat barbeque," Daisey reported.
Mike arrived in Austin too starving to search for any of the barbeque suggestions. He did, however, find himself in front of a McDonalds, considering a McRib.
"I know!" Daisey said, acknowledging the audience's gasp of horror. "How can someone come to Austin and eat a McRib?"
So he re-evaluated and concluded, "I am a sinner, but I will not eat a McRib on this day." The audience sighed in relief, but too soon. "I will have a cheeseburger instead."
This was just one of the many stories spun at the Paramount, where Daisey hosted an evening of storytelling with five raconteurs from The Moth, a non-profit based in New York dedicated to the art of storytelling.
The Moth comes out of the storytelling tradition led by monologist Spalding Gray (1941–2004), whose archive resides at the Ransom Center. In November, The Moth held a tribute to Gray in New York hosted by Garrison Keillor and they presented the 2011 Moth Award, "celebrating the art of the raconteur," to Gray's family.
The day after The Moth's Austin appearance, Ransom Center Associate Curator of Performing Arts Helen Baer shared highlights from Gray's collection with Moth touring coordinator Maggie Cino, who directed the Austin performance, and performer Faye Lane.
"I wouldn't have missed this for the world," Lane said upon arrival at the Ransom Center. Lane said she watched Gray's film Swimming to Cambodia, a performance film of one of Gray's best-known monologues, three or four times when it was released.
"I just sat there with my mouth open and thought, you can do this? It was so exactly what I wanted to do and I'd never seen anybody do it before," Lane said. "I started journaling furiously. I realized these stories are important."
Baer showed Cino and Lane two photographs of Gray which the Ransom Center recently acquired from photographer Ann Rhoney; the Ronald McDonald notebook which appears at the beginning of Swimming to Cambodia ("Oh my gosh, I remember that part: ping pong, coke bottle, banana," Lane said); one of Gray's journals ("That looks exactly like my journal!" Lane said); and a psychoanalytic questionnaire ("I'm suddenly fixated on this. I'm like: must read it till the end," Cino said).
Baer explained that Gray devised the questionnaire, asking himself questions a therapist might ask.
"For him, even the most personal becomes a performance," Baer said.
Cino and Lane read every word of the questionnaire, occasionally reading passages aloud.
"Puberty. Lost all confidence. Weak, ugly, and dumb. Too strange for anyone to like or love.""I've often felt like a kept woman, a housewife."
Near the end of the tour, Cino explained how Gray's simple aesthetic influences The Moth. As technology has evolved in the past two decades, Cino said, people are hungrier than ever for simplicity.
"You get into this question of how little do you need to communicate," Cino said. "Spalding Gray is such a force in having made it seem possible that you can do it in a very straightforward way without a lot of bells and whistles. I think he started a whole world of possibility that people are continuing to explore."

You will generally pay more combined tax on separate returns than you would on a joint return for the reasons listed under Special Rules, later. However, unless you are required to file separately, you should figure your tax both ways (on a joint return and on separate returns). This way you can make sure you are using the filing status that results in the lowest combined tax. When figuring the combined tax of a married couple, you may want to consider state taxes as well as federal taxes.

|1 A person cannot qualify more than one taxpayer to use the head of household filing status for the year.
|2 The term "qualifying child" is defined under Exemptions for Dependents, later. Note: If you are a noncustodial parent, the term "qualifying child" for head of household filing status does not include a child who is your qualifying child for exemption purposes only because of the rules described under Children of divorced or separated parents (or parents who live apart) under Qualifying Child, later. If you are the custodial parent and those rules apply, the child generally is your qualifying child for head of household filing status even though the child is not a qualifying child for whom you can claim an exemption.
|3 This person is a qualifying person if the only reason you cannot claim the exemption is that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.
|4 The term "qualifying relative" is defined under Exemptions for Dependents, later.
|5 If you can claim an exemption for a person only because of a multiple support agreement, that person is not a qualifying person. See Multiple Support Agreement.
|6 See Special rule for parent.
Eligibility rules.(p10)
Death or birth.(p11)
Kidnapped child.(p11)
As mentioned earlier, this filing status is available for only 2 years following the year your spouse died.

Who was/is Howlin' Wolf ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more
Howlin' Wolf
For a guy who didn't see the inside of a recording studio until he was 40 years old, Chester Arthur Burnett certainly made up for lost time. Of course, the giant known as Howlin' Wolf possessed the most fearsome, feral vocal cords in the annals of electric postwar blues. His wheezing harmonica was as distinctive as his unbeatable flair for showmanship; he routinely rolled around the stage in simulation of sexual ecstasy or climbed the stage curtains like a deranged madman.
"Wolf was the greatest that I've ever known," says his longtime saxist Eddie Shaw. "Wolf was not only a musician, he was an entertainer. That's what I respected him for."
Born June 10, 1910 in White Station, Mississippi (near West Point), Burnett got his stage moniker from his grandfather (the impressively built lad also answered to Big Foot and Bullcow). His family settled in the Delta in 1923, and the great Charley Patton gave him personal tutelage on guitar in '28. Chester picked up harmonica licks from Rice Miller—Sonny Boy Williamson #2—when the harpist was romancing Wolf's sister. He was playing electric guitar on the streets as early as 1938. After returning from an ill-fated Army stint during World War II, the big man got more serious about his music, landing a daily 15-minute program on KWEM in West Memphis in 1949. Sam Phillips caught one of Wolf's broadcasts and was transfixed.
Phillips brought Wolf into his fledgling Memphis Recording Service in the spring of 1951 for a demo date. Sam shipped the results up north to Chess, which requested a full session in either May or August. Accompanying Wolf was his sledgehammer guitarist Willie Johnson, a product of Lake Cormorant, Mississippi (he was born March 4, 1923) who played pretty ninth chords one second and barbed-wire leads the next. Also on hand were drummer Willie Steele and a pianist. How Many More Years and its eerie plattermate Moanin' At Midnight were cut at that first date, and both pierced the R&B charts on Chess, How Many peaking higher at #4.
Meanwhile, Ike Turner had hipped the Bihari brothers to Wolf's talents and they pacted him to RPM, setting up a session at KWEM that September that yielded Morning At Midnight (Moanin' At Midnight in paper-thin disguise), a How Many More Years variant titled Dog Me Around, and two more titles. "The Modern record company would come in, and we would record the same songs for them and get 25 bucks apiece," said Turner. With Wolf now also on RPM, the feud between Leonard Chess and Modern's Bihari brothers ramped up. The battle was ultimately settled the next year when Modern held on to Memphis pianist Rosco Gordon (another Phillips discovery claimed by both labels) while the Wolf went to Chess. Great as Rosco was, looks like Leonard won that round.

sonoio blue_072810
alessandro cortini, who the vast majority will have seen singing backing vocals and playing guitars / synths for nine inch nails or muse, is of course a formidable musician in his own right. if you haven't heard the song problem me by his band modwheelmood then you're one jam short of a damn good mix.?SONOIO is the name of his new project, and it's a 9 track album created entirely on?buchla modular synths.
a fan of our record sleeve and poster work for mellowdrone, alessandro got in touch with us with regards to creating artwork to accompany his new music. we say 'artwork' as opposed to 'design work' because he was particularly interested in the looser, more painterly / emotional elements of our work over some kind of cleaner, tighter design effort. modwheelmood had been heavy on the minimal design / die-cutting and this time, the record being much more personal to him, alessandro wanted a more cathartic, hand-made quality.
we talked for a while and decided that we should try to create something that had a european quality to it – something that harked back to alessandro's roots. combining this with a visual device that we felt was most honest to the lyrical content on the record, we came up with the two matisse-esque characters you see on the cover, who are trying to cover up the holes in their chests. the colour choices were then informed in part by the colour of the buchla synth itself. the pencil marks are that of my father thomas newbolt,?who's drawings we cut up and relocated elements of for the sake of adding more movement / life to the collage.
it was a long process – many versions were created and many strong ideas hit the cutting room floor. after much deliberation we all agree that the cover you see above though is the most profound and succinct description of the record's musical content that we could come up with. as ever we hope you can form your own interpretations of the artwork's relationship to the music and can let it grow with you as you get to know the songs.
the album, prints and t-shirts are now available in multiple formats on the SONOIO website, which was created by crosshatch.

Thursday afternoon round-up (and Open Thread)
There are a lot of things I miss about being young. Today, I miss the ability to sleep even if the house if falling down around me. I can't do that anymore. I somehow lost the sleeping knack when I had babies and I've never gotten it back. Sleep seems incredibly distant lately. Between my knee and my shoulder, both of which refuse to quiet down at night, I'm feeling grumpy and disconnected today. This will therefore be a short round-up.
Jamie Glasov looks at Danielle Dimacali's insane (a word I use in its literal sense) meltdown when UCLA just barely rejected the BDS movement. He wonders if any of the atrocities committed against Jews because they are Jews would have moved her too. It's powerful and painful stuff, and makes quite clear just how deranged the anti-Israel movement really is.
Peter Wehner has a good point about politics: those of us who are most deeply committed are often the worst strategists because we have no perspective about what moves the ordinary American voter. This isn't a Left/Right thing; it's a "connecting to voters" thing. Now that I've written the preceding sentence, I can see that Obama won — twice — because he and his side had a better sense of which "voter buttons" to push. It helps, of course, that Democrats weren't constrained by such old-fashioned notions as truth and decency, but the fact remains that McCain and Romney never connected with voters. I can't help believe that,despite the despicable stuff coming from the Democrats, Reagan, with his sunny good humor and folksy ability to simplify complex ideas and relate them directly to voters, would have connected easily.
My husband and I are watching season two of House of Cards on Netflix. Indeed, we expect to finish the series tonight. I agree with everything Andrew Klavan says about it.
Kevin Williamson was adopted, a personal matter he brings up solely because he's very concerned about a push across America to open previously closed adoptions. Being Kevin Williamson, he makes an excellent case about the right to privacy. Reading his article led me to a different thought. The Left is all about severing family ties, so that the state becomes all-powerful in people's lives. It's therefore funny that, in this single area, the state is all about forcing family ties where people don't want them to exist.
VDH has a great one about the Left's war on science. The Left supported science when it dovetailed with Leftist ideology. Now that this dovetailing has ended (yes, life does begin before birth; no, California's devastating drought has more to do with overpopulation and environmentalist kibosh's on new reservoirs than it does with global warming), the Left has become defiantly anti-science — but, being the Left, it masks this defiance under the mantle of science. Always remember, Leftists are Humpty-Dumpty: they determine what words mean.
And finally, Keith Koffler writes the scathing post Obama deserves for planning his third luxury vacation in as many months — a plane that Obama fears will be derailed because of that pesky Putin. In 1916, Woodrow Wilson's campaign was "He kept us out of war." If Obama in the next few days manages to lay to rest America's involvement in Ukraine, his personal motto will be "I kept us out of war so that I could go on vacation."

A group of tech and investment luminaries gathered on Wednesday to announce the Life Sciences Breakthrough Prize, a competition for the biology research community to develop cures to the world's toughest diseases and solve the life science's most complicated problems.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Art Levinson, chairman of both Apple and Genentech, Anne Wojcicki, genetic mapping startup 23andMe co-founder (and wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin) and investment guru Yuri Milner sat alongside one another to announce the new $3 million cash prizes.
Zuckerberg said he hopes that the tech industry, since it can't always participate in finding cures, will at least enable researchers and scientists to solve those complicated problems. But he said that going forward, while the list of winners today is mostly established minds in research, the prize is really focused on the scientists of tomorrow.
"A lot of this is about the next generation of folks, college students and grad students in labs," he said. "Hopefully we can create something that will make them want to (take chances and find cures). I hope what we've done can serve as that platform. And others will create other prizes to serve other philanthropic efforts."
Wojcicki echoed Zuckerberg's sentiments. "I hope this inspires people," she said, speaking to a room full of researchers. "It's incredibly important, the work that you're doing….Here's to the superheros."
Increasingly the public, private and non-profit sector have looked to prizes to spur innovation. The X Prize Foundation spurs "revolution through competition" by offering huge cash sums, up to $10M, for innovations in such fields as molecular biology, energy and space travel. The group's board consists of tech giants such as Google CEO Larry Page and Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Wojcicki and Brin are listed as part of X Prize's "Vision Circle," a group of ambassadors and advisers.
Prize-based competitions are not completely philanthropic. Keeping a field of engaged innovators in close contact allows investors to keep a closer eye on a wider range of inventions and breakthroughs in case they want to approach the researchers about funding a business.
Levinson will serve as chairman of the Life Sciences Breakthrough Prize foundation. Wojcicki, Zuckerberg and Milner will be additional members. He spoke to why tech would be involved in such philanthropy.
"People in technology are naturally inquisitive," Levinson said. But he also pointed out that those in tech also understand the need for finances to accomplish big dreams, especially in the face of big risks. "Above and beyond having the resources, they understand the connection."
The first 11 winners of the Life Sciences Breakthrough Prize were announced in the towering atrium at UCSF's Genentech Hall in the Dogpatch neighborhood. They included researchers of neurology, polymorphisms in DNA, cancer metabolism, stem cells and gene therapy and such molecular biology heavyweights as professor Eric Lander, who oversaw most of the sequencing of the human genome and professor Robert Weinberg, who categorized the first genes known to cause cancer, both while at the Whitehead Institute at MIT, now known as the Broad Institute. (Disclosure: I worked concurrently at The Whitehead Institute with both Lander and Weinberg, though not directly with them.)
All prize winners will be on the selection committee for future Breakthrough Prizes. Going forward, there will be five winners each year. The Breakthrough Prize promises a transparent selection process. Anyone can nominate a candidate online for consideration and the $3 million prize — which Milner caused "a good round number" — can be shared between any number of scientists and received more than once. There are no age restrictions for nominees, either.
Zuckerberg touted the fact that the recipients will stay involved in the selection process, not a bunch of rich donors and backers. "One of the fundamental differences is that the winners are going to pick the winners," he said, pointing out that this should keep the focus of the prizes at the cutting edge of science.

I should have known that whenever Devin Thomas is playing a prominent role in the outcome of an important football game, his contributions aren't quite what they seem. Thomas, the Giants special teamer (and former receiving bust for the Redskins), recovered both of 49er return man Kyle Williams' fumbles in the NFC title game. Those two fumbles provided the Giants with ten critical points and left Williams forever branded as one of the biggest goats in playoff history.
Thomas told Star-Ledger columnist Steve Politi that the secret to getting Williams to fumble was the fact that Williams had suffered concussions and needed to be hit:
"He's had a lot of concussions. We were just like, 'We gotta put a hit on that guy,' " Thomas said. "(Tyler) Sash did a great job hitting him early and he looked kind of dazed when he got up. I feel like that made a difference and he coughed it up."
U.S. & World
Now, given all that we know about concussions, and all the stories that have come out about retired NFL players suffering from brain damage, dementia, and PTSD, this was not a particularly eloquent thing to say. Thomas has a long history of putting his foot in his mouth, and openly saying his team targeted a player because of his concussion history is just another notch in his belt.
But strategically, the Giants didn't do anything wrong. The only mistake Thomas made was to simply admit the truth. Football is an inherently violent sport. And hitting the opposing player very hard is a legitimate winning strategy. The Giants know this well because they pounded Tom Brady into the ground in the 2007 Super Bowl, and that was what helped them pull the upset. Assuming your aim is to hit hard and hit within the rules, there's nothing wrong with having an explicit goal of hitting the other player as hard as possible, particularly one you know has a history of being hit hard.
Defenses target injured players all the time. If the QB has a bad shoulder, you hit him in that shoulder. If a running back has a broken rib, you wrap him up tight. If you're doing all this within the rules, you're being violent in an NFL-approved, family-friendly manner. If you take out a fork and jam it into that QB's shoulder, then you've gone overboard. But otherwise? Hunky dory.
There were no "dirty" hits on Williams in the NFC title game. His first fumble came on a misplay of the punt. He wasn't even hit. But because Thomas dropped the c-word, he brought in all of the baggage that comes with it, including people who HATE football and see it as barbaric in any light.
Thomas' only error was to admit the ugliness of football violence that is already out there for all to see. It's a dangerous game, kids. Don't try it at home.

Is your feedlot being monitored by an activist group? Do environmentalist groups conduct flyover inspections of your property or search your reports to environmental agencies in hopes of finding a "paper violation"? Thanks to the folks at the EPA, it will be much easier for these groups to do so in the future.
Earlier this month, EPA released information it had been secretly collecting on concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) to anti-CAFO groups including Earthjustice, the Pew Charitable Trust, and the Natural Resource Defense Council. This information includes the addresses of operations, names and contact information for operators. It also could contain information regarding operations, such as capacity and how manure is stored and applied. Environmental activists intend to use this information to monitor operations and bring litigation against farmers that they believe are violating environmental laws. We can also expect these activist groups to create a public database of operations similar to the Environmental Working Group's listing of farmers and ranchers that receive government payments. All of this is intended to achieve the environmentalists' end goal – shutting down CAFOs in the United States.
How Did This Happen?
Section 308 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) allows EPA to gather information from businesses and individuals to carry out the goals of the CWA. One caveat, however, is that any information (minus trade secrets) gathered by EPA under Section 308 is also available to the general public. In 2010, EPA entered into a settlement agreement with environmentalist groups where it promised to develop a regulation where it would gather information regarding CAFOs under its Section 308 authority. In July 2012, after facing strong opposition from both farm groups and the Department of Homeland Security over privacy and bioterrorism concerns, EPA relented and decided not to implement the data gathering rule. It seemed that the idea of a public national CAFO database was finally put to rest.
EPA, however, knows that there is more than one way to skin a cat. Without the fanfare of a relatively transparent public rulemaking, EPA secretly requested state environmental agencies to submit information that they held on animal feeding operations within their state. More than 30 states submitted information on operations; oftentimes states included information on farms that do not qualify as CAFOs under the CWA. Farmers, ranchers, and farm groups did not have knowledge that this information gathering was taking place.
Although America's farmers and ranchers were kept in the dark, environmental groups were privy to the knowledge that this information gathering took place. These groups submitted a request for this information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which EPA complied with. Thus, these activist groups have access to data on CAFOs from over 30 states. While these activists could have submitted information requests under state "sunshine" or FOIA laws to individual states, EPA's secret data gathering made these activists job much easier.
The Implications
It's unclear exactly how this will play out, but those in animal agriculture could face increased scrutiny from activists. The CWA allows private citizens and groups to bring enforcement actions against CAFOs they believe have violated the CWA. Activist groups can bring private enforcement suits for violations ranging from illegal discharges to failure to meet submission deadlines for paperwork. Even if an operation is in compliance with the CWA, the cost associated with defending against a frivolous lawsuit can be steep. With easy access to a database of CAFOs across the country, we can expect to see the number of lawsuits filed by activist groups and opportunistic plaintiff's attorneys to increase.

Little late in posting this I guess, well a couple of days at least.
First week @ Brook Lapping done and dusted and it's going ok, having to get back in the habit of cold calling people again, but I think all's going well at the mo at least. Should have some of the review samples coming in next week so I can get them checked out and sent out to the relevant teachers etc.
Two downsides to the job, 1)longer commute, 4hrs a day now :/ 2)A god awful HP PC, which allegedly is a 2.8GHZ P4, although you wouldn't guess it as it would probably run quicker if it was switched off! Possibly something to do with the 248Mb RAM it has (according to control panel at least), how the hell do you get 248?! It's a P4 surely the sticks are at least 256!?
Anyway because of the work/commute n stuff I've been stupidly busy and tired, which meand completing production on ITGA has slipped slightly (arse!), hopefully figure out the best plan of attack on that soon as I still need to try and blag a camera to shoot the few pickups so I can actually finish the thing! :(
I've also taken to trying to do the puzzles in whatever free paper I pick up on the train, namely sudoku or a crossword, needless to say I'm crap at both, but at least I feel like I'm stimulating my brain and helping to prevent the onset of Altzheimers...um...

WHY DO THY DO IT?!?! (Part 2)1 comments Posted by Matt Grover at 11:35 pm
...and Steve was like all...like, the iTunes Music Store, is just the iTunes Store now, cos like..we've got an ass load of movies in there..
America has had TV shows in iTunes for ages now, at least since half way throudh season one of Lost, and over here in Blighty we got zip!
I downloaded a couple of episodes of Lost today, to catch up on what I'd missed, now that's not right. Ive since deleted them (for space rather than morals), but had they been available in iTunes I would have bloody bought them!
Now I'm not gonna pay for episodes of Dr Who or whatever shite eventually ends up in the UK store (if the broadcasters ever sort their crappy prehistoric ways out and start to realise that there's other mediums out there now!), but stuff like Lost, Battlestar, and if it were available The Amazing Screw On Head, stuff I like, I'd happily buy, especially as they've gone to 640x480 res now, although that's a bit odd, as it's still 4:3 (cos it's all iPod orientated), most broadcast is 16:9 now, and computer monitors are going more and more 16:9.
Although oddly enough the new iMacs are apparently 16:10?!? What's all that about?!
So all these new goodies that the mothership's tempting me with and I can't have any of it. And even if I could, we're stuck in shite old England with it's broadcast industry that fears change and it's crappy broadband. "Surf at superfast speeds* *compared to outer mongolia"
In Japan they have 100Meg connections now, 100-fucking-meg!, why in god's name am I still on 2Meg?!? Oh yeah, cos I live more than 3ft away from the damn exchange.

WHY DO THEY DO IT!?!?1 comments Posted by Matt Grover at 7:07 pm
Damn Apple!!
They drive me insane with their new stuff!! They announce their special "Showtime" event (today) a few weeks back, then last week, brought out a 24" iMac (w00t!!), after completing the intel transition with the Mac Pro (w00t!!!!!), now they've released an new 80Gb iPod, and are gonna be making a proper TV/Media centre thing.
why do the tease me so, they know I can't afford any of it BOO HOO, OH BOO HOO HOO
Lego Fucking Star Wars II0 comments Posted by Matt Grover at 7:12 pm
Hell Yeah!! Picked it up today, original trilogy lego goodness!! :D
The first one (set in the prequels) is amazing, this one is juat as good!! Bought it earlier, have just completed Episode IV ANH, so not amazingly difficult, but then a) it's lego and b)its aimed at younger kids anyway.
It wont take long to complete, but the magic is in the fact that you HAVE to go back and re-do the levels with different characters to get all of the special items.
I think they should do a full range of Lego platformers.. next up I reckon the Ewok movies..
Caravan Of Courage and Battle For Endor.
Then a bit of Indiana Jones Trilogy would go down well :)
I keep buying stuff on iTunes :/1 comments Posted by Matt Grover at 12:45 pm
It feels so weird to pay to download music, but I guess it the good and proper thing to do, rather than what some people do
I think it's this iTunes/Coke promo that got me started...I drink far too much Coke, and at the moment they've got this thing where 1 bottle of Coke = 1 iTunes song credit. Cheers, although it's limited to 5 songs per account, not so cheers. Still debating whether to set up any more accounts or not, just to get some more free music.
Plus side : more free music
Down side : having to manage more accounts that I'm only gonna use for 5 free songs each
Is it really worth it? Probably not.
But as a spin off from that, i've gone and paid for 2 whole albums from the store (previous and only purchase (apart from free downloads of the week) was the somewhat dissappointing Kubb album).. Revelations, the new Audioslave album, which rocks like a bitch although Tom Morello *still* needs to sort his damn solo's out :/
And thanks to the iTunes "Just For You" feature which suggests similar artists (sometimes with a fair randomness), I've purchased of Euphoria Morning, a Chris Cornell solo album, which is also quite good, if a little odd in places, but cheers. :)
and I know you're dying to know what I "bought" with my Coke Credits...
1. Dani California - RHCP
2. The Great Pretender - Freddy Mercury
3. Sweet Little Sister - Skid Row
4. We Built This City - Starship
5. Feuer Frei - Rammstein
Good mix huh? Maybe I should post that as an iMix??? ;)
Steve Irwin (22 Feb 1962 - 4 Sep 2006) RIP0 comments Posted by Matt Grover at 10:35 am
The world has lost a legend. Steve Irwin "The Crocodile Hunter" has been killed today whilst filming for a documentary. :(
I couldn't quite believe the text that my girlfriend sent me this morning, telling me he was dead and that he'd been stabbed in the heart by a Sting-ray's barb, but it's true.
Now while I prefer watching some of the other reptile/animal people who cropped up on TV after Steve kicked everything off, I can't help but feel saddened by this news.
Both myself and my girlfriend thought that Austin Stevens would be the first to go, but it's not the case.
Steve Irwin, to us over here at least, I guess is kinda like a 21st Century Terry Nutkins, little bit edgier, but has done the same thing. Inspired a generation of children to learn more about animals and the world around them. His ridiculously high energy and enthusiasm for all things animal (esp. reptile), not only got him a top rating TV show, but also helped him pour much needed funds into the Australia Zoo in Queensland, raising awareness and support for all things conservation.
He will be missed.

Or it would be if the damn T-Mobile wireless connection was any good!!! Thank Christ it was free and I wasn't paying the ridiculously extortionate charges that they have!!
So an interesting week, cut a couple of sequences for Viral Vision, which was fun, got me better aquainted with Avid Media Composer, but was frustratingly slow. Not the system, just me not knowing my way around properly, but that all comes with experience. I should spend more time with Avid Xpress at home, but the projects I've been working on recently have been in Final Cut, or I've started them in FCP cos I know it better.
Speaking of which, ITGA, is coming along, I'm still pretty confident with the October deadline, I'm kinda finishing as I go...rough cut the scene, then sync the clips and re-cut, tweak the cuts, colour correct and sound mix, tweak the cuts, scowl and swear, etc.
Sound is overall a right pig. After I solved the syncing issues, i'm now onto mixing, which is also a bastard (think I may have mentioned in a previous post), but it's getting there.
Work wise, it's been going well, I finish at SqD on the 8th :(, looks like next week is paperwork week, which isn't really exciting, but will be good to know more about that side of things, especially as it seems the next job I'm going to at Brook Lapping Education is gonna involve a shitload of paperwork!
But, at the end of the day, although I have no interest in becoming a Production Co-Ordinator/Manager, knowing how that side of things works, can only help to improve everything else you do. Having a greater understanding of all aspects of production is better then being solely focussed on one side of things...I could really go for a McDonald's Big breakfast about now :/

All faculty and staff
It is the policy of Albion College to provide a safe, non-threatening, and healthy working environment for all employees, students, and visitors. In an effort to respond to concerns of health (especially allergies), fear, and safety, the presence of animals in the workplace poses a safety concern as well as a risk of potential liability for the College. Therefore, animals are not permitted in any building or College vehicle. The only exception to this policy applies to service animals (e.g., seeing eye dogs) and the use of animals as part of the curriculum. This applies to all campus buildings and all College vehicles at all times. Animals are further prohibited from access to athletics fields and must be leashed at all times when on College property.

The June 28 Supreme Court decision sharply curbing the ability of school districts to pursue racial integration illustrates the pitfalls of both the conservative and the liberal blocs' approaches to the problem of race. But finding a principled middle ground is not easy.
The conservatives. Chief Justice John Roberts's plurality opinion for the four-man conservative bloc oversimplified the Court's precedents in order to veer close to a "colorblind Constitution" absolutism that has never been the law. Roberts declared broadly that the integration programs before the Court—in Seattle and metropolitan Louisville, Ky.—"are directed only to racial balance, pure and simple, an objective this Court has repeatedly condemned as illegitimate." But no Supreme Court majority has ever condemned the pursuit of racial balance in public schools as illegitimate.
To the contrary, countless judicial decrees mandated race-based student assignments as a remedy for official segregation during the decades after Brown v. Board of Education. More to the point here, the justices said repeatedly during that era that communities with no such history of official segregation could pursue integration if they chose. Many lower courts said the same. This reflected a widespread view that racial isolation of minority students—especially poor blacks—hurts their educations and that proximity to children of other races can benefit all students by fostering interracial understanding and empathy.
Roberts unpersuasively brushed aside this body of precedent as though it had been silently overruled by the general language of more-recent decisions in the very different context of racial preferences in awarding government contracts and seats in selective universities.
But unlike such preferences, race-based student assignment programs, if well designed, neither give minorities a systematic edge over whites nor displace merit selection by favoring less-qualified over better-qualified applicants. Two of our most thoughtful federal appellate judges—Michael Boudin of Boston and Alex Kozinski of Pasadena, Calif., both Republican appointees—have stressed these distinctions. In Kozinski's words, school integration "gives the American melting pot a healthy stir without benefiting or burdening any particular group."
The Roberts opinion also minimized the vast gulf between the race-based measures at issue in these cases and the racial caste system that once oppressed descendants of slaves in the segregated South. And the chief justice exuded eagerness to block local and state officials around the nation, by judicial decree, from promoting school integration.
If this is judicial modesty, what would conservative judicial activism look like?
The liberals. The in-some-ways-apt critique of the decision from the four liberal dissenters was marred by apocalyptic rhetoric, mostly written by Justice Stephen Breyer, exaggerating what was at stake while hysterically accusing the conservatives of seeking to "break [the] promise" of "true racial equality" made by Brown.
To the contrary, the incremental integration produced by the two race-based student assignment plans before the Court was slight. More broadly, the justices' power to advance, or retard, progress toward "true racial equality" is modest in today's world. A broad social consensus against legal subordination of minorities coexists with stubbornly persistent racial inequalities in education. These inequalities have outlasted decades of liberal Supreme Court decisions, of forced busing (which led to white flight), and of other integration programs far more aggressive than those in place now.
The dissenters nonetheless seemed eager to give local officials wide latitude to tell school children, in effect, "You can't come to this school because you are the wrong color." More broadly, their approach would perpetuate into generations yet unborn the system of racial preferences for certain minorities that pervades much of American life.
The balance-tipper. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the centrist conservative who cast the deciding vote, wisely whacked the Roberts plurality for implying "an all-too-unyielding insistence that race cannot be a factor" in government decision-making, for being "too dismissive" of the governmental interests in promoting "equal opportunity regardless of race," and for complacency about "de facto resegregation in schooling." On the other hand, Kennedy noted that the dissenters' embrace of racial classifications and preferences had no "principled limit."
But Kennedy's effort to identify the circumstances in which "pernicious" race-based assignments could be justified as a "last resort" opened him to the charge (by Benjamin Wittes, writing in The New Republic Online) that he "announces no coherent rule that any school system could apply with confidence that it will garner Kennedy's vote in the future by doing so."
This is not just a failure of imagination on Kennedy's part. I doubt that anybody could come up with a very clear rule for steering between the conservatives' view that all race-based student assignment plans are unconstitutional and the liberals' broad approval of such programs.
So what's a moderate to do? Focus on the facts, in my view, and hope that a reasonably coherent rule will emerge through case-by-case adjudication.
Under the precedents requiring that even the most benignly motivated racial classifications be "narrowly tailored" to advance a "compelling interest," Kennedy was probably correct to strike down Seattle's crude use of race. But he should perhaps have sent the Louisville program back to the lower courts to clarify the record rather than striking it down based on confusion about exactly how it worked.
The dissenters accurately stressed that Seattle had reduced its reliance on race over time, ending up with a program that allowed all students to choose among 10 high schools but denied some their choices in order to engineer a prescribed racial mix. But the result was a program that produced only marginal increases in integration.
The program did not even touch elementary or middle schools, where the benefits of integration would be most profound. It barely touched Seattle's two poorest, nearly all-black high schools. And when it was suspended because of lawsuits, the racial composition of Ballard High School (for one) barely budged. Between 2000, when race-based assignments were used, to 2005, when they were not, Ballard went from 10.8 percent to 9 percent black; from 10.7 to 11.7 percent Latino; from 17.5 to 14.2 percent Asian; and from 56.4 to 62.3 percent Caucasian.
For such tiny gains, officials adopted a program with glaring flaws:
All nine justices seemed equally uninterested in this socioeconomic-integration alternative, which is now used by some 40 school districts that educate about 2.5 million students. I hope that this does not reflect the complacency of some conservatives about the isolation of poor children in inferior schools. I also hope that it does not reflect the preference of some liberals for making politically correct gestures about race over finding solutions that work.

Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
McGraw-Hill, 1959 - 282 halaman
In 1914, an expedition headed by Sir Ernest Shackleton set out to be the first to cross the continent of Antarctica. Shipwrecked and marooned for months on end, their ill-fated voyage became a triumphant story of indomitable courage and faith in the face of astounding obstacles.
A bestseller since it was first published in 1959, Alfred Lansing's Endurance now features a foreword and afterword from Dr. James Dobson—inspiring every reader to persevere no matter how impossible the challenge.

Shackleton's attempted transversal of the South Pole is without doubt the greatest feat of polar expedition, even though he never touched the Antarctic shore. Lansing's account comes from the golden age of travel writing, the late 1950s. The combination is irresistible. Baca ulasan lengkap

Great big hauler starter pack.
- Cubic inches are good
- Exterior access is decent
- Weight, this thing is a bit of a beast
- Adjustability has some drawbacks
- Suspension could be better
This was my very first "women's" pack, and I purchased it back in 2008. It was a great starter pack but way too big for a trip 5 days or less. My inexperience showed when I packed it full and it weighed 40lbs+ for a 5-day trip. I learned my lesson and realized that just because I have a large pack, doesn't mean it needs to be filled all the way.
The fit is decent, I have a shorter torso and very broad shoulders and I found myself constantly reaching up and holding the suspension forward while walking. It just didn't seem to fit correctly in that respect (the suspension loosened during long and hilly hikes), however the hip padding was more than adequate. I didn't have much discomfort in that area.
The capacity is ... well...capacious, and for fear of sounding redundant this pack really has a lot of room. You may be surprised by how much gear you can easily fit into the Red Cloud.
The exterior accessibility is good, outside zippers allow for easy vestibule access and the top compartments is great for frequently used items such as headlamp, etc.
Appropriately packed, this is a good starter bag for a super price per square inch, however it is heavy.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $185
I love this pack! I've taken it camping a number of times in the Boundary Waters (as well as traveling) and it's been great. Tons of space, pockets, etc. Adjustment was a bit difficult initially but once it was taken care of, it was great.
Height of Owner: 5 feet
Great for hauling larger loads. Very comfortable and lots of organizer pockets.
- Lots of organizer pockets
- Comfortable cushy back and hip belt
- Great sleeping bag compartment
- Top doubles as a daypack
- Holds a lot of gear
- Some pockets hard to access because of zipper covers
- Pack itself is a little heavy
Overall I really like this pack for long hauls. It holds a lot of gear. I am constantly finding new places to cram layers. I love how organized this pack keeps me. So many pockets!!! It is hydration compatible which is easy to set up. I also love lots of gear loops to tie things on the pack.
It is really comfy even when packed full. I have had over 60lbs on this pack and still felt the support. More than once I have tied wood to this pack and carried it for miles. (Yes, I was crazy.) This pack will put up with whatever you throw at it.
On the downside it is a little heavy and the zippers can get caught in the covers if you don't fold them over properly. I also wish it had a trampoline frame for the ventilation, but I don't see those on bigger packs so I am sure there is a reason. Overall this is my go to pack for trips that require a lot of gear.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $160
As a woman finding a bag thats waist straps would fit my waist was virtually impossible until I found this backpack! It is comfortable to wear even for a 6 hour hike, and has virtually no pulling on your shoulders. All the weight from your pack rests on your hips and makes traveling much more comfortable.
I also love the number of pockets and organizers this bag has. It makes everything reach
able from the water pockets to the dual hydration ports to the zippered pockets on the waist strap. To keep your bag nice I suggest investing in the Kelty raincover. It's really a must!
Overall love this pack and wouldn't change a thing about it!
Price Paid: $131.24
Loved the pack, but, I don't like the small water bottle holders on the side. My regular size bottle had to be clipped in to stay. The mesh side pocket for the bottles need to be much deeper or wider to accommodate a regular Nalgene bottle.
Spent 4 days/3-nights hiking in the Ozarks with about 40lbs. - good weather, no rain - and the pack was comfortable and I love all the pockets!!
Size: There is only 1
Number of Pockets: 9 or so
Max. Load Carried: 40lbs
Height of Owner: 5'6"
Price Paid: $120
I have been hiking and backpacking for 20 some years and out of all the packs I've worn this is the best pack I have ever had. It is easily adjustable to any torso size, holds a lot of gear!!!! It is extremely comfortable even when loads exceed 70 lbs.!!! It is extremely durable and tough all around even when hauling climbing gear into a base camp. It sits well and balances out well on hazardous mountain terrain.
I do own a Crestone Women's by North Face and it doesn't even come close to the Red Cloud. The North Face is durable but cannot haul gear for long base camp/climbing trips plus the hip belt on the North Face is constantly loosening up which is a great annoyance while trekking but with the Red Cloud you will never have a problem with the hip belt, it stays put!!! Plus the mesh pockets and zippered pockets are great for organizing gear and it is hydration compatible and I have to say is just an excellent all round pack!!!!! If you buy it you will not be disappointed!!!!
Design: front/top loading internal
Size: 5000 cubic inches
Number of Pockets: 6
Max. Load Carried: 85 lbs.
Height of Owner: 5 feet 6 inches
Price Paid: $180 CDN
This is a great backpack. I am a 31-year-old woman and I have been backpacking for about 15 years. I used to carry the old men's external frame that my dad got me at a garage sale in my teens, then I got a women's external frame and thought... wow!... There really is a difference between men's and women's backpacks. This one doesn't bounce against my tail bone like the men's did.
So I started trying on different women's internal frame backpacks and fell in love with the Kelty Shadow's (3500?) feel. BUT it doesn't offer a sleeping bag compartment like I wanted and a friend talked me into getting more cubic inches (5000 instead of 3500) since I have a 3-year-old who backpacks with us, and I now need more room to store his food too.
This is the first backpack I have owned that I don't have to overstuff. In fact I have room left over. Everything has a place and it fits nicely. The frame can also be bent to your personal spinal curves, and it is of course adjustable like all of the new internal frames mostly are. It is so comfortable, the other day I wore it while doing chores to get used to it, and practically forgot it was on my back. It does not put pressure on my shoulders like the old ones did, but distributes everything nicely. My mom who is only 5' 2" (5 inches shorter than I) tried mine on and was surprised at how comfy it was. It is about 5lbs 13 oz.
I am very happy with it, and it is well worth purschasing especially since Kelty keeps it at an affordable price.
If I could change anything I might shoot to make it around 2 or 3 lbs with some kind of fancy space age frame like some have...but then they would probably charge more...so that is more of a personal thing for me... I am always oz. shaving now that I have kid food/gear to carry.
Very nice backpack overall.

Project Runway Season 6: Get Your Sew On!!!
It's FINALLY here! That much anticipated season of Project Runway that almost wasn't. Unless you have been under a rock, and don't follow fashion, Project Runway has moved from Bravo to Lifetime after several months of duking it out between the networks. But as they say, good things come to those who wait……….and tonight the Season 6 premieres!!!
I am a long time Project Runway fan, as are most of the Creative Chicks here at DIYStyle. And now we have even one more reason to anticipate and watch each episode as the challenge unfolds. We will be rooting for one of the contestants, a former St. Louisan AND a Stephens College fashion design alum (that's Allyce's alma mater too)! Qristyl Frazier is THE designer we will be on the edge of our seats cheering for…………….you go girl!
I had the pleasure of meeting Qristyl yesterday when she was here in STL, and she is a savvy, super likeable and uber talented designer. It's so fun for us to have one of the designers on the show we can directly relate to, and follow through all of the (sometimes unreasonable) design challenges that are dolled out to them. I know what you're thinking, NO she could not divuldge any secrets! You'll just have to watch the show each week to see what happens. You can be sure we will. We'll also plan to meet up with Qrystal on her next trip in, and interview her for DIYStyle. Stay posted.
Brother USA is one of our sponsors for DIYStyle, and you can be sure the designers will all be watching that clock in the workroom that bears their logo as well as using all of their sewing machines that outfit their space. We are so thrilled to have them as part of what we do at DIYStyle and their connection to Project Runway. One of my very favorite models we use on the vodcasts is the Project Runway LB6770, a sewing and embroidery machine that comes with it's own rolling case branded with the Project Runway logo (It's really cool……….we take them everywhere for our DIYStyle events and parties!)
So, it's definitely time to "get your sew on", whether spurred on by the inspiration of Project Runway, or one of the affordable and fantastic Project Runway sewing machines from Brother USA. Let us know what you are creating. We love to see!

Looking for something to be thankful for? If you're a rock fan, you can definitely be grateful for a Thanksgiving eve, which brings together Carry the Zero, The Charms (pictured), The Balls and Sawmill.
It's a great lineup. Carry the Zero instills a great, upbeat energy into its alt.-rock sound, especially on songs such as "Hell Like A Hurricane" and even the moodier "Monocane Let Me Go." The Charms, on the other hand, have a blistering sort of garage-punk sound, with songs such as "So Romantic," "The One That You Want" and "Walk Walk Baby" being equal parts bright and manically assertive. The Balls, of course, are local heroes, firebrand punks with an impenetrable wall of noise and aggression. Psychobilly stalwarts Sawmill round out the bill, bringing their hard-edged brand of irreverence and country-twanged sounds. The Thanksgiving Eve Party begins at 9 p.m. Nov. 21 at Ralph's Chadwick Square Diner, 148 Grove St., Worcester. (508) 753-9542. (Victor D. Infante)

When a dream job comes along, few reasonable people would likely fault anyone for exploring the possibility of leaving all that you have built behind to take the new opportunity. Fortunately for Baylor, their head coach shrugged aside the idea of coaching at Texas this past offseason.
Baylor head coach Art Briles took over the desolate and often hopeless program prior to the 2008 season after a successful stint as a head coach at Houston. Briles was asked to do what seemed to be impossible; turn Baylor football into something worth respecting in the Big 12. After starting out his career in Waco with identical 4-8 seasons, the building blocks were starting to form a foundation and Baylor broke through with a 7-6 record in 2010, the first winning season for the Bears since 1995 in the old Southwest Conference. The next season Robert Griffin III exploded on the scene to win the Heisman Trophy and lead Baylor to a 10-win season, a top 25 finish and the first bowl win for the school since the 1992 season. Last year Baylor won the Big 12 championship and played in the Fiesta Bowl. As far as stock is concerned, Briles may have peaked and could have cashed in.
This is why it only makes sense that Briles would not only be one of the top candidates for the vacancy in Austin, once Texas found a way to move on from Mack Brown, but Briles also had an interest in the job. Was Briles interested? You bet. Yesterday while moving through the ESPN car wash with a stop on the Paul Finebaum radio show, Briles admitted as much.
Art Briles on @finebaum show about Texas interest: "There was some conversation but not to extent I felt like I cheated on my wife"
— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) July 24, 2014
Briles, of course, chose to stay where he is at Baylor at a big time for the program. The Bears are coming off the first Big 12 championship in school history, appear to be a threat once again in the conference and move into a brand new football stadium this season. Times are good for Baylor. Briles is a big reason why, and it is nice to see someone choose to stay put to see through it all, especially when it is very likely Texas could have made Briles a wealthier man for years to come.
Texas may not have nabbed Nick Saban from Alabama, but the Longhorns ended up with a pretty good coach anyway by hiring Charlie Strong away from Louisville.

"He and the mother had a fleeting affair and while this was not planned, Hugh could not be happier or more supportive. He and the mother have discussed everything and are on very friendly terms," the rep's statement concluded.
This is the first child for Hugh, 51.
Interestingly, the actor's next feature film is a children's movie – "The Pirates! Band of Misfits," an animated feature due out March 30, 2012.

An edited version was published by South Asian Generation Next on 8th December 2010.
Ruslaan Mumtaz. That name would not mean much to me (or, you) personally unless you have had come across this piece of news that would hint at a film history that could have been written differently.
Think of that day when Dev Patel's face flashed at you from the big screens. Even if you could ignore his natural good looks (think of his pouty lips that hint at a youthfulness that many girls would admit to have longed for), it would be a little difficult to get past Jamal's anguish while he searched wildly for his Latika. And, you agreed among your friends while you debated and discussed the movie in detail, that yes, this guy could act. Not once was there any dispute that Patel was unfaithful to his role.
But imagine a different scenario. Think of another guy in Patel's place. Think of Ruslaan Mumtaz.
The guy missed out on being the slumdog millionaire that we equate so freely with Patel's anguish-filled eyes. As it turns out, at the time of the movie's final auditions, the guy was "beefed up" for his role as a movie star in the mainstream Bollywood movie Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. He was rejected for not being lean enough.
But wait.
Before I could feel bad for the baby-faced Ruslaan…
Before I could start jumping to conclusions based on hearsay…
Before I could rely on the news item…
Before making up my mind at all, my inner journalist prodded me to watch his movies. Had this guy been capable of changing history, if not for his "muscles" at the time, as he claims?
The next thing on the agenda was to watch his movies Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar and Teree Saang, both of which have done well commercially in India. Surprisingly, I found his slight awkwardness endearing. And, the irony is that while this guy is now a well known face among movie goers in India, Patel has lost himself in a stream of unknown faces in Hollywood (let's not forget the bombed The Last Airbender blazing in his trail).
But do I think that Ruslaan could have been a better slumdog than Dev? Could he have pulled off an authentic Jamal being an Indian himself, instead of the British-born Patel? Would his anguish have been as great, if not greater?
Probably not.

Video: Watch the Wu Man Concert That Prompted New York Times Rave Review
Not everyone gets it. The nuance of classical music, and how it's not just a lullaby of string instruments. The palpable difference between collaboration and true friendship among musicians. Not to mention the power of a good groove, no matter how you define it.
Who does get it? Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim of the New York Times. In a rave review published today of Asia Society's February 7 concert featuring the incomparable pipa player Wu Man and Brooklyn-based classical troupe The Knights, Fonseca-Wollheim is reminded of the power of "friendship in music" and '"how much music gains when it is performed by friends who delight as much in their art as in one another's company."
A "gutsy rendition" of Stravinsky's Dumbarton Oaks gives Fonseca-Wollheim a glimpse into that relationship where musicians catch each other's eye in the middle of passionate performance, and share moments of visible camaraderie for the audience to see.
A sense of "shared humor and trust" is prominently displayed in Lou Harrison's Concerto for Pipa with String Orchestra — cited as a "delightful piece" in which Wu's expert skills showed the range of the pipa, from "translucent beads of sound" to "sustained singing phrases."
Wu's own composition Blue and Green is recognized for its folk inspiration and the delight of "cross-dressing" Western instruments to sound as if they're of Chinese origin.
Lastly, Darius Mihaud's Le Boeuf sur le Toit reminds Fonseca-Wollheim more of a cast party than a concert piece, with the "raucous dance score" moving the musicians as well as audiences.

We do get to see a lot of instruments being hawked under the banner of RARE!!!! on eBay (usually accompanied by WOW!!!) and often referring to a spectacularly bilious Steve Vai-esque paint job, an INCREDIBLE!!!! "C", "D" "U" or "X" neck profile, Kryptonite TONE-MONSTER PUPS, mother of Death-Metal-Toilet-Seat inlays or some such DAMN-GOOD-REASON-IT'S-RARE attribute, but this, as the seller say's is indeed PRETTY RARE!!!!! WOW!!!!!
And, pretty… pretty, to boot. A vintage Danelectro violin shaped f-hole archtop acoustic. And to answer his question. No, I have never seen another like it (except for the teardrop shaped Danelectro acoustic Gavin found about a year ago and another (signed by Steve Winwood and Kris Kristofferson WOW!!!) which appeared in an auction in 2007). Acoustic Danelectros are rare creatures indeed.
It's a cracking guitar (if you like violin/viola shaped guitars and as I own three, I must do) and in great condition. Apparently the original owner was in a cruise ship band (thought he doesn't say whether he took this on board with him). The seller also says that, based on his research (it doesn't say what that entailed or what his source was) it's from the 50's. I won't argue with that because I just don't have a clue. WOW!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!!
Please excuse all the exclamation marks. I bought a job lot and have to use them up (there was also a bunch of {yellow} italics thrown in for free - and I'm not one to pass up a bargain).
