I come from Edmonton, Canada, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Engineering Systems. My research is focused on the economic and environmental performance of alternative fuels for aviation. Going forward, my work will aim to compare alternative fuels to other technological, operational, and policy options for reducing the climate impact of aviation on the basis of cost-effectiveness.

June 25, 2002, 4:32 PM — Microsoft Corp.'s Palladium security system has sparked concern among some of the company's competitors in the operating system market, as well as with consumer and digital-rights advocates, but lawyers and security companies are less troubled.
Palladium is the code-name for Microsoft's new security initiative, announced Monday, which is designed to create a "trusted space" within a PC for certain programs and other sensitive operations to run in. The system will require security hardware, in the form of a chip, as well as software, the company said Monday. The combination of hardware and software security could let users create documents and e-mail messages that expire after a certain amount of time, Microsoft said. It could also let music and movie companies take advantage of native support for digital rights management software that could let them limit how their content is copied or shared, and could stop users from running code that isn't digitally signed, Microsoft said.
Windows users will get the majority of Palladium's benefits, at first, though Microsoft said that it plans to make the system interoperable with other platforms. Microsoft may publish the source code to Palladium to allow third parties, including competitors, to create systems that interoperate with Palladium, the company said.
Some Microsoft competitors were, unsurprisingly, less-than-excited about the announcement of Palladium.
"Microsoft is enamored with the closed world they've built with the Xbox where they control what software can run. They believe they can use that strategy to restrict competition and increase their control in the PC arena," said Michael Robertson, chief executive officer of Linux desktop operating system startup Lindows.com Inc., in a statement. The Xbox includes a security system that restricts what kind of code the console will run.
Lindows, based in San Diego, and Microsoft, based in Redmond, Washington, are currently engaged in a lawsuit in which Microsoft is asking a court to bar Lindows from using that name for its Linux-based operating system, saying that it infringes on Microsoft's Windows trademark.
"Open systems beat closed systems -- it's what has made the PC and Internet so successful," he said.
"Microsoft is proposing reduced consumer freedom over their computer and their media while cleverly disguising it as improved privacy. I don't care what big companies they have extorted to endorse this strategy, consumers will see through it and reject it," he said.

This weekend is gonna be so busy for the cartoonists of Fantagraphics. Some are getting ready for Brooklyn Book Fest or SPX but at this moment Tony Millionaire is ready to have a helluva time over at Cincy ComiCon in Covington, Kentucky. Right across the state line! Cincy ComiCon is located at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center at One West RiverCenter Boulevard, Covington, KY. Friday from 3-7pm, Saturday from 10-7pm, and Sunday from 10am -5pm.
And over at Baltimore Comic-Con that starts today.
Friday through Sunday, September 5-7th, Don Rosa will be holding court with his always impressive display of Ducks work at Baltimore Comic-Con. You can find Don at booth 2510, which is along the leftmost side of the convention hall. The con starts in a few hours so get ready! Friday from 1-7pm, Saturday from 10-7pm and Sunday from 10-5pm. Baltimore Convention Center is located at One West Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201 (PRATT & HOWARD STREET ENTRANCE).

Paul Constant over at The Stranger has an excellent write-up on Jim Woodring's new "Notorious Autojournal", Jim:
Jim is a brand-new collection of Woodring's earliest comics work, which was originally produced as zines in the early 1980s until Fantagraphics cofounder Gary Groth fell in love with his work and became his lifelong publisher. This isn't a stack of embarrassing juvenalia; the quality of work is very high, but if you stare at the pages for a while, you'll notice a bit of uncharacteristic uncertainty resonating through the ink. In an interview with Woodring, he admits that "it is hard to go back to your old work," but he's overall "thrilled" to review his earliest comics. "I was stunned by how authentic [the work in Jim] is to me today," he says. The book "had this symbolic power, and I can feel it rising up in me again" while reading it. Keen eyes can spot a faulty bit of crosshatched shading, or a messy silhouette that Woodring would never sign his name to now, but for the most part, this is fully realized work produced by the hand of a man who is entirely confident about what he's trying to communicate.
And don't forget that the man himself will be signing books at the University Bookstore in Seattle TONIGHT at 7PM.
Here's a sneak peek of Jacques Boyreau's upcoming SuperTrash, due out later this month! This sequel to the artist-curator's last book, Trash: The Graphic Genius of Xploitation Movie Posters, uses a collage of movie imagery, advertisements, and comix—with an essay by the author interwoven throughout—to explore and challenge the concepts of art as trash as art.
The book is already up for pre-sale, and we will be prepping previews galore soon! Stay tuned for a visual feast of freaky delights.
What's even better than the first two volumes of Ed Piskor's excellent, Eisner-nominated visual history of hip hop, Hip Hop Family Tree? Having those two volumes wrapped in this sweet slipcase cover, along with a special, limited-edition 24-page comic, created just for this set!

"Knisley is a pleasurable picture-maker and there are hooks here in that she talks in forthright fashion about an affair she had while over there (a forthcoming book is about her marriage, which has to imminent) and she engages directly with the issue of privilege as it pertains to her ability to take trips like this one." –Tom Spurgeon, Comics Reporter
Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Son of the Sun
Just arrived and shipping now from our mail-order department:
Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Son of the Sun
208-page full color 8.5" x 11" hardcover • $29.99
"Great howling crashwagons!" The Richest Duck in the World is back — and so are noisy nephew Donald, wunderkinder Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and rascally richnik Flintheart Glomgold! Because you asked for it, we're proud to present our first complete, chronological book of Duck adventures by contemporary fan favorite Don Rosa — following in the footsteps of Disney legend Carl Barks with an exciting, lovingly detailed visual style all his own! Rosa, among the world's most beloved modern cartoonists, launched his Barksian career in 1987. Famed for his prizewinning "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck," Rosa wrote and drew a whopping two decades' worth of ripping Scrooge and Donald yarns! Presented with sparkling color and "extras," these Duckburg epics are getting a definitive, comprehensive North American edition for the very first time — at a price even Scrooge would consider a bargain!
Just arrived and shipping now from our mail-order department:
An Age of License
196-page black & white with color 5.5" x 7.5" softcover • $19.99
Acclaimed cartoonist Lucy Knisley (French Milk, Relish) got an opportunity that most only dream of: a travel-expenses-paid trip to Europe and Scandinavia, thanks to a book tour. An Age of License is Knisley's comics travel memoir recounting her charming (and romantic!) adventures. It's punctuated by whimsical visual devices (such as a "new experiences" funnel); peppered with the cute cats she meets along the way; and, of course, features her hallmark — drawings and descriptions of food that will make your mouth water. But it's not all kittens and raclette crêpes: Knisley's experiences are colored by anxieties, introspective self-inquiries, and quotidian revelations — about traveling alone in unfamiliar countries, and about her life and career — that many young adults will relate to. An Age of License — which takes its name from a French saying — is an Eat, Pray, Love for the alternative comics fan.
Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery is pleased to host an exhibition of posters featured in the new book 101 Best Film Noir Posters from the 1940s - 1950s. The show opens on Saturday, September 13 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Editor Mark Fertig will be available to discuss the work and sign copies of the book. The exhibition continues through November 10, 2014.
The film noir genre holds a special place in American cinema and the posters reveal a lot about mid-century aesthetics. As director William Friedkin observes in the book's introduction, "The posters convey the style and content of the movies they were designed to advertise, and yet they represent an art form of their own. They are a valid and important school of American art." These posters depict the biggest stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood in some of their most memorable roles. The book includes both a synopsis and fascinating analysis of the films depicted by the posters.
Editor Mark Fertig will attend the opening to discuss and sign copies of the book. This event coincides with the colorful Georgetown Art Attack featuring challenging visual and performing arts presentations throughout the historic arts community. Fantagraphics Bookstore is located at 1201 S. Vale Street (at Airport Way S.), just minutes south of downtown Seattle. Open daily 11:30 to 8:00 PM, Sundays until 5:00 PM. Phone 206.658.0110.
Don't miss appearances by Seattle native Charles Burns signing his new graphic novel Sugar Skull on Friday, September 19 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM and Chris Wright signing Black Lung on Sunday, September 21 from 3:00 to 5:00 PM. See you all soon.

There are so many leaps of (il)logic in the CAGW position. From warming to assuming CO2 did it -- despite warmth preceding CO2 rise. From assuming CO2 did it to claiming humans increased CO2 levels -- despite long term warming trends forcing CO2 from the oceans up to hundreds of years later. From assuming human CO2 is changing the atmosphere to demanding impossible, mass-murderous reductions. From assuming CO2 causes warming to claims of inevitable and imminent disaster -- despite long historical precedent showing warmth benefits civilization, and cooling cripples it. From assuming CO2 cuts would be beneficial to trying to price it out of the market -- despite own projections showing the best case result of 5 yrs delayed warming by 2100.

Happy Friday! I'm so excited the weekend is finally here!
I'm linking up with The Good Life Blog for another Five on Friday. Since November is the month of giving thanks, I'm making today's post all about the things I'm most thankful for in life. Here goes!
ONE. My husband. Despite a crazy teaching and coaching schedule, he still finds time for the little stuff. Just this week, he sent me a beautiful fall boutquet of flowers with a note that read "Just Because. I Love You." I am so thankful to have him by my side, and to have found "my person" after waiting what felt like forever! He inspires me to be a better person, and I love him more and more each day.
TWO. The other {quadraped} guy in my life. I work from home regularly, and Cooper does his best to intice me away from the computer all day. He brings me toys, he rolls around on the carpet and lies upside down, and casually paws at my leg for attention. When I've been gone for even a few hours, he totally spazzes out when I get home and jumps all over the place. Best.feeling.ever. He is a total goofball, and his big personality puts me in a good mood no matter what!
THREE. My health. I'm incredibly thankful to be in good health. I see so many people struggling with awful circumstances, and know health is a delicate thing that shouldn't be taken for granted. I've been much better about working out regularly, and am starting to enjoy it again, which is a huge feat. But I'm still kind of all over the place with what I eat. Next week I'm going to start going back to Weight Watchers, and have considered trying to cut out gluten too. I'm particularly inspired by Katie from Loves of Life. She is on fit mama! I'm going to try to post once a week for accountability purposes, so please stop by for updates. I'll need as much support and encouragement as I can get!
FOUR. Turning 30. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm looking forward to turning big 3-0 in December! My twenties were incredible and such a blast, but now that I'm married and settling down, I'm excited for what the next few years hold for us. We hope to buy a house and start a family, and really start putting roots down for the future.
FIVE. Friendship. I've always had an amazing group of friends, but I've really started to appreciate them even more recently. I've made a bigger effort to put my friends as a higher priority over the past few months {it is so easy to just say "things are so busy" and just stop being there for people} and I love that I'm in regular contact with my friends and we know what's going on each other lives. I've also met {virtually, at least} some amazing people through social media and blogging. I love having a peak into other people's lifes, and connecting through commonalities. So thank you to all of my wonderful friends, regardeless of how we know each other!
I hope everyone has a fun weekend! Shaun's team is now 8-0, so we're down to the last couple of weeks of the regular season. Playoffs start in mid-November, and I just know we'll be practicing on Thanksgiving this year {kind of awful and exciting at the same time}!
P.S. – I'm excited to be a November sponsor over at JustJacq! Check out her blog for everything from fashion to fitness.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Great storyline, exciting plot, unfortunately, I felt a bit like Jonus at the end, as though I had just discovered what "release" was. I hate books that end like this; it always feels like a cop-out to me.
As a person who reads as much as I do and loves dystopian fiction it is surprising that I had not read [The Giver] by [Lois Lowry] before now. It has been in my classroom for years and on "my list" but I never got around to it. Now with it coming out as a movie(which I will never see because the book is ALWAYS better), I decided to read it.
It reminded me of [Fahrenheit 451] by [Ray Bradbury]. The concept of a sterilized society without creativity has been around for a long time. [Lowry] puts the reliance of society's memory on a child. It becomes his responsibility to remember and protect them from their own history. The Sameness is their protection but at what cost?
Overall I enjoyed [The Giver] and hope all my students read it.
This was a bit short and should have gone further, but I really enjoyed the story and engaged with the main character. Learning the truth and growing up has never been so well told. I can't wait to read the other stories in the quartet.
I decided I had to read the book before seeing the movie, which interested me. I enjoyed the book a lot. It's a fast read and very entertaining. The characters grabbed me right away. The only down side for me wasn't the author's fault. Since I'd seen a couple interviews of stars in the movie, I knew who thee of the characters were played by in the movie before reading it. That distracted me before we came across each character a little and I definitely pictured these three characters as I'd already seen them. Thankfully, the main character other than the Giver is not one I already knew. I looked that up after the fact.
I definitely recommend reading this if you didn't read it as a child and if you did, you might want to reread it. Many books I liked when I was younger didn't interest me any more when I tried to reread them. I think if you liked this before you'll still enjoy it. I can't wait to see the movie. It's clear the person playing the Giver (I won't give anything away if you somehow don't know yet) loved the book and reading it to his son, so I believe he would have wanted to stay true to the story. I look forward to seeing it this weekend!
Just saw the movie, so I had to read this again. Still one of my fave novels, but I forgot some parts of it. This is a futuristic and chilling tale that brings me new meaning in light of current governmental decisions.
Despite occasional logical lapses, "The Giver," a powerful and provocative novel, is sure to keep older children reading. And thinking.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440237688, Mass Market Paperback)In a world with no poverty, no crime, no sickness and no unemployment, and where every family is happy, 12-year-old Jonas is chosen to be the community's Receiver of Memories. Under the tutelage of the Elders and an old man known as the Giver, he discovers the disturbing truth about his utopian world and struggles against the weight of its hypocrisy. With echoes of Brave New World, in this 1994 Newbery Medal winner, Lowry examines the idea that people might freely choose to give up their humanity in order to create a more stable society. Gradually Jonas learns just how costly this ordered and pain-free society can be, and boldly decides he cannot pay the price.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:25:11 -0400)
Lowry's unforgettable tale introduces 12-year-old Jonas, who is singled out by the Community to be trained by The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of true pain and pleasure. Now it's time for Jonas to receiver the truth.

I can't believe I'm watching the classic Doctor Who serial, The Aztecs, on American cable television right now.
I love this serial! Thank you,
BBC America!
via DoctorWhoNews.net:
UKTV continues its season of classic Doctor Who stories today (13th) with the broadcast of The Aztecs at 4:30pm (Australia) and 4:20pm (New Zealand).The four-part adventure forms part of the channel's celebration of the First Doctor this month, which kicked off last weekend with An Unearthly Child and continues with The Dalek Invasion of Earth next week (AU:3:30pm, NZ:3:15pm), rounding off with The War Machines on the 27th (AU:4:30pm, NZ:4:20pm).
The channel is showing stories every Sunday throughout the year in the lead-up to Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary in November, focussing on a Doctor a month.

'Winter White' show continues at gallery

This thread is about evil achievements, not ridiculous RNG (Dalaran Fishing Contest) or even rare access (Kingslayer25). Good achievements fall into the category of "I was thinking of doing that anyway" or at least, "that's an interesting way to do it." Seen in this light, "Hard Knocks" and "No deaths raids" mean that it's remarkable when a player is proven to be versatile PVP'er or when a raid goes so right that no member dies (insert golf-claps and achievement sound), but it's still in the course of normal game-play. Activities like raising obscure factions to exalted without reward can yield achievements. But even these aren't evil, since it's a legitimate (but pointless) way to while away the hours.
No, truly Evil Achievements would never be done accidentally or out of idleness, since they are designed to exploit achievement "collectors" who are willing to confound normal game-play at the expense of all other concerns to get them done.

Strengths: Super cool design, made for life (formed from one piece of Ti), great fit for athletics.
Weaknesses: Fit is soo close to your face, the lenses can fog in damp weather.
Bottom Line:
First the science: Formed from a single piece of Ti. Ear pieces and nose piece are attached by a joint that allows them to move independant of each other for great fit. Design actually hods lense in front of your face to mimic that actually way your eye fits in your head. This can take some time to get used to if your are like me (& your smart) and you got perscription - why spend so much money for non-perscription? I've crashed many a times and they have not fallen off yet. Even rode with then on a roller coaster and they did not fall off!
Now for the beauty: They are the coolest looking (& very futuristic) looking glasses I've ever owned. I get a lot of looks and positive comments about them. My G-Friend even likes them. Any guy will tell you, that is not an easy thing to do.

What The Papers Say - 28 February
Thursday 28th February 2013 08:46 by Rob Urbani@efc_roburbani
Howard, Moyes and Kilbane feature in Thursday's round-up.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
EVERTON FC goalkeeper Tim Howard wants to bring the Wembley feelgood factor back to Goodison Park.
David Moyes' side are a game away from returning to the national stadium where they suffered at the hands of city rivals Liverpool in a 2-1 semi-final defeat last year– a memory Howard and his team-mates would like to banish.
"The way Wembley makes me feel, makes the team feel and makes the fans feel gives you drive to get back there," he said.
"It's always tough to lose to Liverpool in those circumstances on the big occasion so getting over it's never easy.
"You kind of puff your chest out when you know you're going to go to Wembley – everyone gets excited, the ticket requests all come in and people are singing the songs. So it's important but for us to get to it we've got to take care of Wigan.
"The draw's been favourable, we got a home draw finally, so that's good."
Victory over Oldham at the second time of asking ended a February run of four winless games for Everton.
Howard said: "I don't think we're firing on all cylinders at the moment but I think it's a good thing – we've advanced in the Cup, we've got a home draw and when you look at the league table we're still in the thick of it.
"We're going to have to start doing the business but we're still there."
KEVIN KILBANE believes the lure of another European campaign for Everton FC would prove irresistible for David Moyes.
Moyes is out of contract at the end of the season and says he will not consider his future until then.
The Blues boss admits his decision will be influenced by Everton's progress in the FA Cup and if they can qualify for European football next term.
Everton face Wigan Athletic in the quarter-final of the Cup and remain well placed in the Premier League.
Kilbane was part of the Blues side which qualified for the Champions League in 2005 and believes Moyes can emulate that success with the current crop at Goodison Park.
Kilbane, 36, says the Scot has done an excellent job since taking charge of Everton in 2002 and believes an FA Cup – and a return to Europe – would be a well deserved reward for his efforts but also the start of the new phase of his career at Goodison.
"He seems to be part of the furniture and I would love him to stay. I really would," said Kilbane. "He has done a brilliant job and there are still things for him to achieve at the club as well.
"People talk about him not winning a trophy in his 10 years at the club but I don't hold that against him because of what he has achieved over the years with the budget he's had. The league form has been incredible, and I would like them to finish this campaign as they have finished the last few seasons.
"He's quite rightly said 'I want to concentrate on the football side of things' and 'I want to concentrate on our league form and then make a decision at the end of the season'.
"Getting into Europe, however that may be, would definitely influence his decision because he would want a crack at playing against the big guns in the big competitions."
Though Everton have slipped to seven points off the pace for Champions League qualification, Kilbane says they are still in the mix.
"It is still to fight for," he said. "Earlier in the season they were drawing games when they were dominating teams. I've been to see them a good few times this season and they have dominated games but come away with draws and they have looked disappointed with that. But recently, they picked up a really good point against Villa when they maybe did not deserve it that day.
"They just need to find that consistency again and if they do that, then they will be in a strong position to challenge for fourth spot."
EVERTON FC need to revive the big game spirit of eight seasons ago if they are to earn another crack at the Champions League.
That is the belief of Kevin Kilbane, who played an integral part in David Moyes' side finishing fourth in 2005.
And Kilbane believes it was Duncan Ferguson's header, to seal victory over Manchester United on a raucous night at Goodison Park in April that year, which was the watershed moment in their campaign.
Less than three weeks later Everton had secured a top four spot at the expense of Liverpool.
Kilbane believes the current Everton squad are a more talented bunch than in 2005 and insists they have sufficient quality to bridge the gap to fourth place.
Seven points behind Chelsea at present, David Moyes' men have 11 games left but know their run-in includes a clutch of challenging matches.
Champions Manchester City visit Goodison next month before the Blues face journeys to Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Arsenal – as well as the short trip to Anfield for a match with Liverpool, scheduled for May 4.
Kilbane admits Everton need to win most – if not all – of these battles with their rivals for European qualification but the 36-year-old insists teams will not relish taking on the Blues.
"They have got to be beating those teams if they are going to get into the top four," he said. "They will be the key games because you don't want to be chasing results you've missed out on.
"All those sides are top teams but they will all fear facing Everton and everyone recognises that as well.
"Man United paid Everton the ultimate respect by man marking Marouane Fellaini with Phil Jones earlier this month. Teams recognise the strength Everton have and are fearing them. They have that fear factor about them."
He added: "We had some big games in 2005 – the night match with Man United which got us over the line when Big Duncan scored the goal. It was a fabulous night for us. And we had occasion after occasion where we were producing against the top teams.
"This side have got so many big games left, they are going to need a few of those big nights rather than just one or two."
The 2005 team finished the season with 61 points and Kilbane, who clocked up 121 appearances and scored five goals for the Blues, believes they would have been a force in the current era.
"I think we would've done well," he said. "We had a good group of players.
"In pre-season that year there was a lot of negativity around the club, Wayne Rooney had just moved to Man United and are a lot of questions were being asked of the manager. People wanted to know where the club was headed.
"But we started well, maintained that form and had a real good, solid foundation.
"We all worked hard for each other and recognised what it took to get us over the line.
"Everton, now, have got a better individuals than we had although we did have some real quality players in the team. David Moyes has taken the club forward in so many ways, on and off the pitch, and they have a solid foundation.
"The Barclays Premier League is such a tough environment right now and is so tight but Everton just need to maintain what they have been doing."
Tim Howard has outlined the burning desire in Everton's squad to book a return to Wembley and avenge the defeat that continues to haunt them.
Everton set up an FA Cup quarter-final date with Wigan on Saturday week after easing past Oldham on Tuesday and they are odds-on favourites to reach the last four for the second successive year.
The 2-1 defeat they suffered against Liverpool 12 months ago proved to be one of the most chastening experiences of David Moyes' reign – Everton were in control until they froze in the second half – and Howard feels the wounds they suffered that day are still open.
Everton, who were also losing finalists in 2009, have threatened on several occasions to achieve something significant under Moyes and Howard believes this is their best opportunity to finally go all the way.
'What happened to us last year has given us a real drive to get back there,' said the American goalkeeper. 'But the way Wembley makes me feel, the way it makes the team feel and makes the fans feel is also giving us that drive.
It's always tough to lose to Liverpool, more so in those circumstances and on that big occasion. You puff your chest out when you are going to Wembley. You are excited, the ticket requests are coming in and the fans are all singing their songs.
'In order for us to experience that again, we have to get past Wigan but the draw has been favourable. We have to start doing the business but we are still in there. It will be up to our big players, who have already played a ton of minutes, to keep producing.'
Moyes regards losing to Liverpool at Wembley as the worst moment of his 11-year Everton career and, even now, he still has difficulty speaking about how mistakes enabled Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll to cancel out Nikica Jelavic's goal.
'I still have the disappointment and nothing would give me more pleasure than to get Everton back to Wembley to try and reach another final,' said Moyes. 'I know the players are very much the same. We want to put that disappointment right.
EVERTON manager David Moyes is still haunted by his side's FA Cup semi-final exit at the hands of arch-rivals Liverpool last season.
Now he is determined to erase that memory by going all the way in the competition this season after disposing of Oldham in Tuesday's fifth-round replay.
The 3-1 win has earned the Goodison Park outfit a home quarter-final tie with Wigan.
And Moyes is relishing the challenge of finally trying to get over the finishing line this time around.
After losing the 2009 final to Chelsea, his team fell to a late Andy Carroll goal in last season's semi-final against Liverpool, despite dominating for most of the game.
And the Scot said: "I still have the disappointment of the semi-final last year and nothing would give me more pleasure than to get Everton back to Wembley.
"I want to try to reach another final and I know the players are very much of the same feeling.
"We will be striving to put right the disappointment from last year.
"Expectations at Everton have risen year on year and the job of any manager and group of players is to give supporters the belief that they can do something more than expected.
"The players at Everton have regularly competed in the top half of the Premier League in the last 10 years. In recent seasons we have been in FA Cup semi-finals and, not too long ago, we were in the final.
"I understand that still has to be improved on and we will continue to push and demand as much as we can from ourselves and the players. Let's hope it is this year."
And the Toffees skipper Phil Neville echoed the comments of his boss when he said: "We are still feeling the pain of that semi-final defeat.
"That hit everyone connected with Everton exceptionally hard. I don't think the wounds will heal until we are back at Wembley and challenging again for a place in the final."
Keeper Tim Howard, meanwhile, believes the best is yet to come from the European hopefuls this season.
He said: "I don't think we are firing on all cylinders. And at the moment, I think that's a good thing.
"We have advanced in the cup and have a home draw. And you look at the league table and we're still in the thick of it.
"We have to start doing the business but we are still in there. We seem to be higher up the league at this stage of the season than we have been in a while.
"We don't have a large squad, so it's going to be about big players stepping up to the plate and producing."

Sequel to "The Music Or The Misery" Sweet giant purple lollipops! It's a filler!
"Alright, I'll be back in a little bit. I gotta go pick Addie up and help her out with all this," Patrick said, walking back up the stairs.
Months had passed and Patrick and Addie had become inseparable.
Now she was moving in.
At first, Kendall wasn't exactly thrilled, after all, she didn't think fondly of the memories she had of the last time her dad's girlfriend lived with them.
But she loved to see her father happy, it was better than him holing up in his room for days on end out of depression.
Kendall hugged her father and walked back upstairs, her legs ached from walking up and down them, hauling boxes of junk from Patrick's room downstairs in order to make room for Addie.
She sighed and plopped down into a chair at the kitchen table.
Joe was bent over, raiding the refrigerator.
"Tired?" he asked her.
"Yeah," she sighed, to tired to think of a witty comeback.
"Here, drink this, ya won't be tired long," he tossed her a bright green soda can.
"Vault?" she read, looking at him and nervously popping the tab.
"Just drink it. It's good."
Kendall shrugged and took a gulp of the sugary liquid.
Moments later that and two other cans of Vault had been downed and Kendall was vibrating with hyperactivity, the sugar and caffeine coursing through her veins.
She had the goofiest grin on her face and was giggling like an idiot at nothing.
"Told you it was good,"Joe laughed, tapping her shoulder.
"Giant purple lollipops!" she shrieked.
"Woah, what the hell," Joe backed up slowly.
"At school! We crossed the peanut butter river and then if we fell in strange and wonderful things would happen to us! Like giant purple lollipops!" she cried.*
Joe shrugged and took another drag off his joint, putting it out and tossing it in the trash.
He smiled, walking out the door.
"Wait!Whereareyougoing?" Kendall said, running all the words together.
"Gonna go blow the leaves out of the yard," he said, walking towards the garage.
"Pete! We need help!" Joe shouted.
"Wait don't leave me out here like this!" Kendall shouted as Joe flung the front door open and raced up the stairs.
"What?" Pete sneered as he opened his bedroom door, squinting as sunlight filled the dark room.
"Were you asleep?" Joe asked, swerving the subject.
"Yeah, I didn't go to bed until seven something."
"Oh. We need help."
"With what?"
"I kinda got Kendall's hair stuck in the fan of the leaf blower**," Joe snickered, stepping to the side so Pete could clearly see Kendall standing on the front porch, holding the leaf blower up, her neck slightly bent as though her hair had been somehow sucked into it.
"How the hell did you get a kid's hair stuck in a leaf blower."
"She got in the way..."
"Go ask Andy. He has girl hair."
"Fine," Joe sighed, walking down the hallway as the drumming sound grew louder and louder.
"Hey Andy!" Joe yelled over the banging noise.
Suddenly the thrashing stopped.
"Yo," Andy opened the door.
"We need help and Pete says you can help 'cause you have girl hair."
"I need help getting Kendall's hair out of the leaf blower."
"How the hell did you get -"
"I know, how'd her hair get stuck in there. She got in the way now help me!"
"Ok, Ok, Jesus, Daytime Emmy," Andy followed Joe down the stairs and onto the front porch and began taking her hair out of the leaf blower as Kendall continued to babble on and on randomly, as a result of the Vault.
"What the hell?" Patrick and Addie laughed in unison, walking into the house, each holding a box.
"Giant purple lollipops!" Kendall shrieked once again, rubbing her hands together maniacally.
"Kendall, hold still!" Andy ordered as he removed the last strand of hair from the machine.
"You gave her sugar, didn't you?" he asked, glancing across the room at Joe.
"Vault!" Kendall told him,"Three of 'em."
Addie laughed, "I'm gonna have fun here, aren't I?"
* Giant purple lollipops and peanut butter river... just two of the many insiders that came from last youth meeting at school.
** Kindergarten graduation was yesterday, and one kid was given an award for "Being able to remain calm in even the most alarming situations, even when Mr.Streble (my math teacher) had to remove her hair from the fan of a leaf blower".

As if you need more reason to stay off the roads lately, the price at the pump is sky rocketing.
The North Dakota state average for a gallon of regular is $3.67. That's 60-cents higher than a month ago.
Starting the year off with a bang, and a blow to your pocket, if you're filling up at least once a week like Mike Eisert, who stopped by a station in South Fargo Monday night.
"They're higher right now and hopefully in the summer when we're driving more, they'll be down," Eisert said.
But Gene LeDoucer, AAA spokesman, says when the weather warms up, prices may not cool down.
"We saw prices just shoot up 60-cents in the last month and we're still three months away from the peak," LeDoucer said.
Typically, that peak comes around Memorial Day.
LeDoucer says the prices are driven up by the prospects of a recovering economy.
"As the economy improves, energy use increases and with that thought there's a lot of speculative investing going into oil and gasoline markets, which is forcing the prices up."
But, speculator's predicted this year's national average to top out at $3.80 a gallon.
Right now, we're only a nickel away.
"I really don't like where we're sitting right now," LeDoucer said.
Locally, those prices sting even more.
AAA averages show North Dakotans spend more of their household income on gas than any other state.
LeDoucer says it could be because drivers living here travel more miles in a day than more densely populated states.
So, three months ahead of pace, this boom may just be getting started.
"You don't like doing it but you have to have it," Eisert said as he capped off his tank, paid his bill and drove away.
AAA shows North Dakotans are spending more than 10% of their income on gas, but the price of gas here is right in the middle of the range of prices around the country.

Investigators say as the child slept, Donald would approach the victim and have un-consensual sexual intercourse with her.
The victim later reported the inappropriate activity to a family member and friend. When detectives spoke with Donald about the matter, he admitted to the allegations.
Donald is currently being held at the Pinellas County Jail for multiple counts of Sexual Battery without bond.

You are correct. Many people have used leverage to build businesses. However, they used that debt to generate additional wealth/revenue. When the government takes on debt, they are making a promise against future generations' earning potential, and using it to pay for ... short term political gains, payoffs, cronyism. If you examine history, government stimulus has never generated long term benefit, and usually slows recoveries by misallocating resources. Stimulus by tax cuts (especially on those who generate wealth) worked in the 20s, the 50s, the 80s, and 2000s. Short deepening of recession followed by explosive growth that lasts.

Walk and chat with Commissioner Rob Gelder
KINGSTON — County Commissioner Rob Gelder offers drop-in office hours in Kingston on the first Saturday of the month. But there's a twist.
Gelder's drop-in office hours are a "Walk & Talk." Anyone interested in an informal conversation with Gelder can meet at the Kingston office (behind the sheriff's Kingston office at 26076 Illinois Ave.) at 9:30 a.m. the first Saturday of each month.
"From there, we'll walk different routes around Kingston and talk about the issues that concern you," Gelder said. "We live in a beautiful area and exercise is important for our health and well-being. My hope is to combine office hours with a bit of exercise."
You can contact Gelder at email@example.com or (360) 337-4683.

10 Best Bodies at the Golden Globes
Written on January 17, 2012 at 4:01 pm , by FITNESS Editors
Who really rocked it on the red carpet at Sunday night's Golden Globes? The stars that looked fit, sexy, sleek—and body confident. Here, FITNESS picks the 10 celebs who stole the show.
Best Body: Kate Beckinsale. Thanks to the intense training she did for the film Underworld, Kate, 37, looked slim and incredibly fit on the red carpet. Working with trainer Ramona Braganza, each of Kate's exercise sessions consisted of 30 minutes on the treadmill, a circuit training routine and a core workout that included yoga.
Best Abs: Golden Globes winner Claire Danes wore a form-fitting dress that showcased her flat abs and slim waist.
Best Back: Heidi Klum. Her super-sexy backless dress showed off her beautiful back side.
Best Arms: Stacy Keibler. She's known for her 42-inch legs, but in her red-hot dress, George Clooney's significant other proved that her arms are just as sleek and beautiful.
Best Cleavage: Sofia Vergara. The Modern Family star looked va-va voom in a gown with a plunging neckline.
Best Legs: Charlize Theron—the slit in her gown showed off her toned, sexy legs to perfection.
Best Curves: Salma Hayek. Her black and gold dress hugged her body, accentuated every curve and made her waist look tiny.
Best Body After Baby: Jessica Alba. Jessica gave birth to her second daughter just five months ago, but you'd never know it. She looked slim, gorgeous and totally toned, thanks to working out regularly with her trainer ("He's mean!" she has joked) who makes her do tons of burpees, a move that combines a squat, a push-up and a vertical leap.
Best Butt: Lea Michele's curve-hugging metallic gown looked even better from behind. And she really worked it for the cameras!
Best Comeback: Jane Fonda wins this one for the second year in a row, hands down. She looks fit and fabulous at 74. No wonder she's still making exercise DVDs!

The 25th annual Children's Miracle Network Telethon has wrapped up. And each year The South Plains community comes out to support the University Medical center Childrens Hospital with generous donations of life saving money. This year was no exception. This years telethon goal was an astounding $1 million. And the people across the south plains did what they did every year, they blew that total out of the water raising more than $1.2 million.
"it is such a good feeling to be able to raise the money and give them that and say, merry Christmas, buy what you need to help kids... That's a great feeling," said Karin and Abner.
Newschannel 11's very own Karin and Abner hosted the CMN Celebration. This was their 25th anniversary telethon.
"We were hoping 25 years ago that the community would accept this. Now everybody understands CMN , accepts it and looks forward to it ever year."
Karin and Abner are the longest running host team in the country. But they say it's not about them, It's about the kids, their families and the miracles made because of the viewers.
"All across the country people look at west Texas as a giving part of the country and each year they look and see how much people here give to CMN and the children hospital and it's astounding. They're surprised because they say, well how big is Lubbock? we're not surprised because we know how generous people here are," said Karin and Abner.
"it's just an amazing feeling to see the generosity of our donors across the south plains, of course, everyone at KCBD, Karin and Abner being the number one team in town, we're just so blessed to have everyone with us now for 25 years and to see those amazing totals." Britt Pharris heads up c-m-n here in Lubbock," added Britt Pharris with CMN.
"We're already looking at 2009, we start planning right now for that. And we look forward to a hefty goal next year and to all of our good folks to joining in just to celebrate what our miracle families and what our amazing miracle kids go through everyday," said Britt.
"We'd just like to do a little better than we did this year.... That's what we like to do every year," said Karin and Abner.
Ever the 25 years of CMN in Lubbock - the south plains has raised more than $11 million for children and families whose lives have been saved at UMC's Childrens Hospital.
"The most amazing thing to us is how these miracle families open up to tell the story. These are very personal struggles and they go public because they want folks to understand what is being done with cmn money. And we just can't thank those families enough," Added Karin and Abner.
CMN continues to change and save lives now 25 years and counting.

This hubot script takes alerts from nagios via http and formats them nicely for IRC.
I have been frustrated with copying/pasting command line output to pastebin lately. To solve the problem I've whipped up a simple script to pastebin stdin. Check it out.
function create_lock { LOCK_NAME=$1 if [[ -e "$LOCK_NAME" ]] then OLDPID=`cat $LOCK_NAME` if ps p $OLDPID > /dev/null then return 1 fi rm $LOCK_NAME fi echo $$ > $LOCK_NAME return 0 }create_lock doesn't handle race conditions, but it is typically good enough for me.
I was given the task of integrating our old Google Search Appliance with our internal wiki. It turns out MediaWiki offers a couple of different ways to alter search functionality: $wgSearchForwardUrl and $wgSearchType. The $wgSearchType variable accepts a SearchEngine class name and enables custom search back-ends. SimpleXML and the GSA XML API then allowed me to fetch and process the search results. After a few hours of tweaking I am pretty happy with the result, a tightly integrated full text search.
If you are interested in setting up your Google Search Appliance with a mediawiki instance, installation is simple, download or checkout the extension and follow the installation instructions.
Lately, I've found the process of assigning a bug to myself slightly cumbersome and wanted to speed up the process. I happen to be a fan of Ubiquity, so I decided to write a command.
The command assigntome, by default, changes the assigned to field to your user. The whole process can be automated by tacking on the submit noun, which will simulate clicking the "Commit" button.
To install assigntome subscribe to my Ubiquity feed.

Three of the four home nations are represented in this year's British & Irish Cup semi-finals, with competition newcomers Cross Keys flying the flag for Wales against English outfit Cornish Pirates, while Leinster and Munster kick off the weekend with an all-Irish tie at the RDS.
Friday evening's semi-final sees the 'A' sides of Irish provinces clash for only the sixth time at this level of rugby.Munster marginally have the better head-to-head record over the last decade by three wins to two, including victory in the last meeting: 19-7 at Donnybrook on September 12, 2010.
Munster A have only been beaten once in seven outings this season, their only defeat coming against Cornish Pirates, 10-6 on November 11, 2011.
Leinster are bidding for a first-ever appearance in the final having progressed to this stage with a comprehensive 32-0 home win against Pontypridd in the quarter-finals.
A second final appearance in three years awaits Pirates if they can get past Cross Keys in Saturday's semi-final at PandyPark. Pirates are the only team in the line-up to have won all four of their pool matches, securing their path to the semi-finals with a win over fellow Championship contenders Nottingham.
But Cross Keys have impressed in their first season, finishing top of Pool 2 just one point ahead of Munster'A' before victory against Welsh Premiership rivals Llanelli saw them through to the last four.
Pirates go into the fixture having won back-to-back games against Rotherham in the Championship play-offs, while Cross Keys have lost two of their last three games in the Welsh Premiership to sit fifth in the table.
British & Irish Cup semi-finals
Leinster 'A' v Munster'A', Friday April 6, KO 1800
Cross Keys v Cornish Pirates, Saturday April 7, KO 1500
British & Irish Cup Final, April 28
The winner of Semi-final 1 will host the winner of Semi-final 2, meaning that for the first time in the competition's history, an Irish team will stage the British & Irish Cup final

sketch exhibitions
To mark the 10th anniversary of sketch, from 1st March 2012 Turner Prize winning artist Martin Creed will transform the Gallery restaurant in the first of a new long-term programme of artist-designed restaurants for the venue. Through a series of new works both functional and decorative, Creed will create an environment that is at once as an exhibition, an artwork, a restaurant and an Events space.
Over the past decade sketch has hosted over fifty major exhibitions of moving image in the gallery, including shows by Carsten Nicolai, Jo hn Baldessari, Jonas Mekas and Sylvie Fleury, as well as numerous off-site projects such as the CINACT series at The Gate Cinema in collaboration with Serpentine Gallery and international touring programmes such as A New Stance for Tomorrow at Bidoun Artists Cinema, Art Dubai and Volta Film, Tribeca Grand Screen, New York.
With this new initiative sketch continues to contribute to 9 Conduit Street's rich heritage as a destination for experimentation in design, art and architecture in a building whose previous incarnations over the past century include hosting the headquarters of RIBA and the Atelier of Christian Dior.
The sketch exhibitions programme is curated by Clea Irving

|Tiger Presents New Opportunities for Developers
|OSX 10.4 upgrade
|2004-11-19 03:03:41
Response to: OSX 10.4 upgrade
Apple usually offers recent owners the chance to purchase the newer OS for $19.95; their cost for the CD & shipping. I think that they usually extend that offer 3 to 6 months into the past. Usually, once the release date is announced, they will include the upgrade offer for new customers. This way, they don't suffer a lag in sales between the announcement and the on-shelf date.

OSX 10.4 upgrade
2004-11-30 16:09:23 iwantiger [View]
Well after speaking with a manager at one of the Mac stores I am going to wait for the Tiger release from its cage (10.4.1). Why you ask? The following is based on the information I got from the Apple manager: If I ever have to or want to re-install the OS from scratch, I would first have to install the original OS that came with the computer (45 minutes or longer) then first re-install OS 10.4 Tiger (even more time).
Also all new operating systems have bugs to be worked out. The manager told me within one month the bugs should all be resolved. And so I guess I have to wait for the OS 10.4.2 or the second release of Tiger.
Note: I am new to the Mac world of computing. I have decided my next computer to be a Mac G5. I want everything in the computer to be 64 Bit and take full advantage of the unmatched 64 Bit processing only found in the new Mac G5 computers. I have read all this is on this sting and there is allways a flip side to the coin. Hats off to Macintosh. As far as I know all tech suppoert if anyone would ever need it is located in the "good old USA". It is not out-sourced overseas to save money like so many PC companies are presently doing.
I have recently researched computer companies. Everything from buying the right computer to their tech support. Just try getting tech support from a PC company. You may be talking with someone in the far east or somewhere far far away with a native thick accent that can be very difficult and frustrating to understand.
Thanks all, iwantiger

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
This is a very warm hat, due to the post stitch construction which is almost a double stitch. It has a great amount of stretch and will fit your child for years.
I have also included tips for making a baby sized hat or an adults sized hat in this pattern.
I have been sewing, knitting and crocheting most of my quite long life. For a while in the eighties and nineties it wasn't really a cool thing to do, so I am so pleased that so many people are doing so much creative handmade work.
I am retired and have lots of time, but not enough for everything I want create!

Does Android's success make it a cyber target?
Tuesday - 11/29/2011, 6:02pm EST
Employee-owned devices has made the list of one of the biggest cyber threats, according to a forecast from M86 Security Labs.
And Android smartphones may be the biggest cyber threat to federal agency networks.
That's because Droids are increasingly being targeted by hackers.
"Android is in many ways a victim of its own success," the M86 threat forecast states. "As users flock to devices running the operating system, so do the attackers."
Bradley Anstis is the vice president of technical strategy at M86 Security, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the network threats, why the Android platform is an increasing target and what agencies can do protect themselves.
