Posted by Andy, under NOTEBOOK
I'm going to sound like a pissed off old man. And I'm good with that. Bad manners are rampant. The way I see things going, manners these days are like harsh meanness and disinterested oblivion had a baby, and then that baby was handed a case of Red Bull and a shotgun.
We just placed a helpful, related product in our store. See it for yourself. You're welcome.
Everything from little pissy looks, all the way up to murderous road rage. It even seems like well-mannered people have gotten so accustomed to these Dark Ages of manners that when I hold a door open for them, they'll steady it themselves as if I'm an optical illusion or some psycho who'll let the door nail them at the last second. Sad.
Manners aren't just about not being Captain A##hole to the rest of humanity, or sticking your pinky out like in a Jane Austin film production, they're also about kindness and consideration. Helping, tolerance, laughing it all off, and sacrificing for the sake of others. When I look at some kids today, the future… I want to look away.
Manners are for OTHERS. So they don't kill you.
One day, years ago, I realized that the boys were being taught manners, like so many things, without anyone having told them why. So I started out by asking Max and Cody, "If you were stranded on a desert island and you could only eat one thing, what flavor of PEZ would it be?" This was just to get their attention. Attention is an illlusive and whiley beast when it lives within a child under the age of 10.
Now that I had my audience, I asked them if you could have good manners if you were completely alone on a desert island. They paused, sensing a trick question, and said, "Yeeeeesss?" I made a game show FAIL buzzer sound and went on to explain to them that you couldn't, that manners were for other people, and from them for you, that different groups had different sets of them, but that generally they were basically the behavior we agree on to make getting along with each other pleasant and easy… or to simply keep us from clawing each other's eyes out. By then the boys were sound asleep. Maybe my lectures are better than any sedative with a bedtime story chaser, but then again maybe it had its positive effect. The boys have really good manners… most of the time.
When the boys got older, I went on further to explain that when manners get reeeeeeeally bad, the law takes over. And there's no PEZ in prison. Not sure if that tidbit helped.
Toddler Manners
Yeah. I just wrote those two words together. Seems kind of weird and unlikely a word combination, right? Like "evil unicorn" or "skinny sumo wrestler." But actually it's exactly where I figure manners need to start, and Lucas is catching on fast. With some odd kinks though. Let's take a look at an actual conversation:
Me: "Let's get going, lad. Your mama's waiting."
Lucas: "No, thank you."
Me: "Uh, okaaaay… Yes, please?"
Lucas: "No, thank you!"
Me: "Yes, please!"
Lucas: "NO THANK YOU!"
Me: Yeeeeessss PLEASE!"
Lucas: "NO! THANK! YOU!!!"
I'm not sure what kind of message my bursting out laughing sends, but he's turning out okay. When we thank him, we'll nudge with, "say 'you're welcome'" and he'll say "I welcome." Cute! We seem to do pretty well with leading by example and keeping a cast iron lid on my sailor mouth.
It's an uphill battle in this world, but they're all on their way to being gentlemen. Okay. Mostly gentlemen. Gentlemen-ish at least. Whatever! At least they're not f##king douchebags!

Right On! It's a tragedy the way kids today are brought up with NO manners. I'm glad not everyone has the same "push'em out and leave'em alone" philosophy. You nailed it right on the head to when you said you lead by example. That's where it starts.
Yeah, the "keep them alive and let them do whatever they want" seems about as successful as it would be to take a group of kids in a school and say "do whatever you want so long as you stay in the classroom." Who would send their kid to that school?
Monica says:
I love this post. It is great. People have lost manners and they fail to establish any manners with their children. Yes, your kids don't have it down pat yet, but they are learning and that is a LOT more than most. Manners should start with toddlers so they don't become a**holes when they are older. My son is 10 1/2 months, but I hope to teach him to become a gentleman or gentleman-ish. =) Someone once asked me if my dad was in the military. When I answered yes, I asked how they would know that. They said it's because I say Yes, Sir and Yes, Ma'am. I may not be in the military, but my son will have good manners if it kills me. Where have all the manners gone??????
RIGHT!?! WHERE HAVE THEY GONE!?! Maybe Waldo is hoarding all the good manners. LET'S GET HIM!!!!!
Monica says:
I will get the pitchforks, you get the torches. Hehehe
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! GET HIM!!!!
When I am parking and forced to BE the A-Hole car I always park where my door is too close. I know that I can control how I get in and out and be careful with my doors and I can hope that "Andy" doesn't have a passenger that will be inconvenienced. If I park like your A-Hole neighbor I know that they are going to bang my car intentionally or otherwise. Does that constitute good manners?
charlie says:
Wait, so the options are you park like an idiot or I smash your car? I just want to make sure I have my choices straight.
FYI: You're never FORCED to park like an asshole. That's your choice.
Also, if you want, just buy one of our bumper stickers. That should alert everyone.
Good answer, Charlie. I did climb through the passenger seat to get away from the A##hole tailgate party the guy was late for, but HE HAD FOUR FEET TO HIS LEFT!!!
Hey now boys. No need to use bad manners. Maybe I wasn't clear.
The "Choice" I laid out was a) park like an idiot and someone will probably screw with your car or karma will get you at some future date; or b) do your best to share space, not park like an idiot and hopefully the world will be a better place for your consideration.
I choose b. I don't park like an asshole. I find myself, on occasion, in a parking situation that is difficult or less than ideal. When that happens I try to do my best to be courteous to the vehicle I know was driven there by a person, allowing them space rather than myself or the theoretical passenger from the other side.
Maybe you read my comment too quickly. Ouch. Be nice.
Sorry, it's a ranty sort of post and comment festival of venting. I don't think you're an asshole parker. I think its evident to others when a circumstance is the reason for a tough situation and a bad park job. I even gave this guy the benefit of the doubt for a sec and thought "maybe this guy was squeezed in by someone on his left…" but then I remembered I'd been away from my car for 3 minutes. This guys needs a bumper sticker.
A bumper sticker or a Karma check. They are kind of fun to pass out. http://tinyurl.com/7tdwzn6 – Love your site. Always great reading!
Teressa says:
I did one better than a "like"…I shared. Good manner, huh? Thx rad dad. Keep up the great parenting.
You are welcome and thank YOU!
Aging Gal says:
I HATE the whole "close car" issue. And in car-crazed L.A. it is prevalent. Mr. A-HOLE is definitely getting a door ding from me (and maybe a lot of dusty sneaker prints all over his side door; like a human-sized kitty cat). Good for you to be the "Manners" dad, Andy. I will gladly let them hold a door open for me and I won't at all suspect them of psychosis.
Don't get me wrong, I WANTED to urinate on the guys windshield. But its all about choices, and I choose to put on a happy face, laugh and the dork, drive away and blog about it.
I'll give you an extra big smile in return when holding the metaphorical door open for you.
Chris says:
That's one of the worst things about parking lots. People parking too close, crooked or even over the line. I might slap one of these babies on the next car I see committing once of these offenses. BTW, nice work on raising your kid to have manners. This world's lousy with jerks.
We can't control what people do with the bumper sticker we created (or be held legal liable for it either). That said… GO FOR IT!
Jerks happen to also be dumb, so they need signs and big blinking arrows pointing the way for them to Non-a##holelandia. It's our duty to clean up their parents' neglectful mess.
P.S. Rad use of the phrase "lousy with." Kudos.

Stephanie K. says:
So happy to see other parents are teaching manners! They really have disappeared! When I was pregnant with my second I was walkig into work with my 1 year old, her diaper bag, my purse and a box of donuts (for my lovely co-workers lol). I'm struggling to open the door while balancing all of the above and this man walks over and opens the door wide open. I start to go through and before the words "thank you" can escape my lips, he not only rushes but PUSHES past me!!! I nearly topple over and somehow managed not to drop the donuts!! Needless to say I yelled out, "Are you F*****G KIDDING ME!?!?" baby in my arms or not, don't piss me off when I'm pregnant. Words will come out that I'm not proud of.
Stephanie K. says:
Yeah it was pretty obnoxious. I was in total shock that someone could be that rude!!
Stephanie K. says:
Oh and I think toddler is the perfect age to start manners. I started my daughter around 13-14 months and she now knows to say "MEEZ!" and "CHEEN CHOO!" when she wants something
Perfect! Ugh! Adorable!
Elizabeth says:
Great Post!! I really wish the parents today would put this at the top of their list, with the potty training!!
The other day my daughter and I were having some tea, and while we were sitting out there, there was a group of middle schoolers eating at Chipotle. They were LOUD, and using very bad language. A man walks by with his dog, ties him up, looks at up at them, and as loudly as possible yells "SHUT UP, CAN'T YOU SEE OTHERS ARE TRYING TO ENJOY THE AFTERNOON OUT HERE!!!"
They stopped for an instant, then one boy piped up and said, "Calm the f@*k down. The man walked over to him and gave him what for. I think the kid regretted it, because he had a look on his face, as if saying OH S@**t!!
They continued being a bit loud, then left all their garbage behind on all the tables!
It is in that moment that I looked at my daughter and said, " If that is the future, I'm really scared!"
Oh, and that picture you have up there with the car….It happened to me, when I had my hip operated on and was at physical therapy. I couldn't get in my car, and the A** Hole parked in a 10 min spot. Someone helped me look for the person, for 20 min, and she finally had to crawl into my car, to back it out, so I could get in. The lady who helped me was at least 60+.
It is getting BAD, and it makes me very sad. I have two friends that have taught there kids manners, and I hope they are the new trend.
It's disgusting. Good job on that man with the dog. There's a point where railing against bad manners is not bad manners in and of itself. Some people, with some weak-minded or timid view might have themselves convinced that it would have been bad manners in turn for the man to have shouted like that. But this mentality seems so similar (on a smaller scale) to the mentality of someone walking away from the sound of a woman screaming "someone is raping me."
The good guys have to save keep saving the day or the future will be a nightmare.
Judy says:
How many times can I yell "I agree, I agree, I agree…." before I become obnoxious? My granddaughter was visiting me on Saturday and a rude little monster from the neighborhood came into my yard, vaulted himself onto the porch, grabbed the frisbee and ordered my 5-year-old granddaughter "Hey! You get over there so I can throw this to you." I said "Son – how about "asking" nicely? He looked at me as if I had 2 heads, threw the frisbee down on the ground and walked off mumbling. My granddaughter looked at me and said "Nina, he was rude". Bless her heart – she can actually identify the behavior as wrong. I had to bite my tongue about giving him a little return dose of rudeness, but that would be setting a bad example. All I can say is God help us when his generation is running this country. I think the thing that annoys me worse than anything else about today's teenagers is when you say "thank you" to one of them and they look at you cross eyed and say "no problem". What do you mean, no problem? Did you anticipate a problem? Did you see me as creating a potential problem for you? I am thanking you for what you just did (i.e. check me out at the grocery store) – the proper response is "You're welcome!". Even my 2, 4 and 5 year old grandkids know that much! Okay, climbing down off the soapbox now. Thanks for letting me vent…. LOL!
Thank you for venting! ALL vents are welcome here.
Krystal says:
I can not like this post enough.. I WAS working on a similar post, but I'll go ahead and delete that and refer the jerk parents of the world here. Teaching manners to children is a dying practice and it absolutely horrifies me. At 2 years old, Marley says 'please' and 'thank you' to 98% of things, you know, when she's not trying to assert her independence (ha), but i digress. Good for you for not only teaching your children manners, but for teaching them WHY manners are important.
You are most welcome! And I'm trying keeping PEZ alive too. Kids these days just don't seem to know the wonders of PEZ and their dispensers. Keep being rad!
Kimberly says:
The "I welcome!" thing is one of my favorite toddler responses. Good for you for teaching your kids why manners are important! It makes the likelihood of them growing up to be kind adults much higher.
My 2.5-year-old loves pretending to be Miss Manners. She sneezed from the backseat yesterday, and when I didn't react she told me, "Bless me, Mommy." Haha.
That's amazing! Ha ha ha ha!
dadand:Pete says:
For even more fun, check out my buddy's site http://youparklikeanasshole.com. He's got downloadable tickets and notices. Pretty funny.
d says:
I love those notices on youparklikeanasshole.com!
Also, there are a few stores like UO which sell booklets of SUPER funny things to put under someones windshield wipers. Andy, I think you would really like them. HA HA HA!!! Great post, though.
Phil says:
I have been reduced to expecting one tiny thing out of people in cars besides "not flying off the handle when someone makes a tiny driving error."
I just want one teeny tiny "thank you" wave when I let you in front of me. That's it. That's all. Nothing more.
YES!!! Agreed! On the flip side of that, when someone is a rockstar and let's me in or, when I seem to need it, steps down off the Self-Assumed Universal Right-Of-Way Pedestal of Utter Domination, I flail my arm in thanks, flash my brakes in a light-show of appreciation and roll the window down for a fully erect thumbs-up!
MotherDuck says:
Right on, my brotha!
I have a sudden crazy craving for PEZ…and grape soda.
Blam! I just want to flip the head on one of those bad boys now. I never really liked PEZ much to eat but it seemed like treasure somehow. Treasure issued out of the neck of my favorite comic hero or cartoon character!!! Always seemed to get my finger pinched messing around with the spring-loaded clip though…
Maybe I should just go with grape soda. Safer.
Lisa says:
Love it. What's even better is when you park in the middle of your spot and come back and the a-hole has parked OVER THE LINE into your spot and doesn't leave you a shoe horn to get into your car. Because walking 3 extra parking spaces to the store is just not acceptable, I guess?
Ugh. Totally! In fact I make it a point to just park where it's best, not closest. I want to get out of the cattle line of people mooing for parking spots so I'm not contributing to the clog, and I want to park next to a car that isn't a beat up P.O.S. to reduce the chance that the drivers next to me don't smash up my car because theirs is already half-way to Hell.
Christina says:
Ugh. This post reminds me of MY bad manners today. Granted, toddler temper-tantrums all day + severe exhaustion from someone not sleeping through a time change + pregnancy really had me wanting to claw the eyes out of the guy who was honking at me to make a right turn into oncoming traffic…
But my bad manners aside, I've been teaching my son please & thank you since he learned how to sign "more". I'm still surprised when he says thank you without prompting, but so far, so good =)
We forgive you. Don't sweat it. The guy who was honking at you would probably have driven himself off a cliff if he was experiencing what you are with a little one. You get "Get Out of Jail Free" cards when you become a mom.
Jaime says:
awesome and SO true…. kids seem to be more devoid of manners these days. I see it every day on the train.
It's just too bad. Public transport gives one a wide view of the situation, lots of people close together for long periods of observation.
Cici says:
I like how my 7 year-old daughter handles a-holes…when a man walks in a restaurant or building with his ball cap on or doesn't hold the door for her/us, or burps or gets in/out of his car instead of waiting for women to enter/exit theirs, she simply states, "his mother never taught him manners, how sad." It is usually loud enough for him to hear…what's he going to do? Be so ill-mannered to punch a 7yo girl? Watch your manners boys, there are still mommies out there raising their little girls to care!
That's fantastic, but I'm an a-hole who doesn't take his hat off when entering a building or restaurant. I'm not very strong on the manners that are more tradition-based, but tend to be good about the time-less, kindness-based ones. I'll help some carry something to their car, give directions, get the door, say "hey" in response, but I don't stand up when a woman leaves the table, or keep my elbows off the table at all times.
Katie says:
When I was pregnant with our first son, one of my friends told me I was meant to have boys so there would be fewer assholeish ones in the world. My husband and I are working on living up to that pronouncement. But I'm gonna have to steal your line about manners on a desert island.
Ha ha ha ha ha! It's not really new to me, but "assholeish" is my favorite word for today. Steal away!
Surfer Jay says:
That is precisely why i always take up two spots when I park. Works great.
Hah! That's like preemptive measures. But if the lot is choked, unfortunately, you come off as Capt. A-hole to everyone else looking for a spot. From the looks at how many websites there are dedicated to it, you might find a freshly plastered bumper sticker when you return to your car. Just sayin'
Eric says:
You are so correct about leading by example. My wife & I have an 18 month old daughter and while she is talking up a storm now we were surprised that two of the first phrases she learned to say was "Thank You" and "You're Welcome". We did not intentionally teach her to say these phrases initially, but our best guess is that she learned them by watching how my wife and I treat each other and other people.
That's fantastic. Keep being rad. The world needs more radness in the radness-to-lameness equation.
Fête Foreign says:
True story: today I came out of the grocery store and found that someone wiped their car on mine as they got out of the parking space next to me. I searched in vain, in effing VAIN for some note apologizing for the big white shmear scratch on my car.
Le detail qui tue: The store had only been open for like 20 minutes but of course all of us 10 cars were parked like sardines next to the door, next to the otherwise empty lot…….
Sigh. I would have at least written "sorry".
That's awful. That goes beyond bad manners into criminality. I guess we should all just be glad in today's day and age that he didn't write "sorry" using a key and your car.
Flavia says:
Talking about a disagreement with a toddler, check out this video. Epic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsBon3DTwIY
I like how he inverted it at the end, that was smooth.
Megan says:
My husband is the middle child of 3 boys. The youngest, Mike, went through a spell of thinking that every time someone says "Thank you Mike" he HAD to say "You're welcome". So the older 2 boys would say over and over again "Thank you Mike" and little Mike would get so frustrated but keep answering "You're welcome!"
That's awful and amazing all rolled into one.
Caitlyn says:
First off, props to you for teaching your kids manners! My son just turned 3 and knows and uses the full range of manners: Please, Thank You, Excuse Me, Bless You, You're Welcome, etc. because I REFUSE to have a rude child. So props to you and all of those who have commented who are keeping manners alive.
And second, we got our son his first Pez for Christmas…I have never seen a look of such joy and utter amazement from him. Priceless.
Thanks for the props! And about the Pez present: RAAAAAAAADDDD!
Melanie says:
I don't force my daughter to say please or thank you, but I do model the behavior that I expect to see from her and there are always consequences to her actions. She is two and I have yet to not hear her say thank you when I give her something or do something for her. She has a harder time with remembering to ask with please but I ask her "How can you ask politely for that?" and she'll light up and say "PWWEEAAASSSE!" I have super rage at bad parkers though. It takes everything I have not to throw shit on their cars.
You are rad for how you're nurturing. And for your shit-throwing urges towards horrifically inconsiderate parkers. ::high five::
Rachel Amanda says:
Great post! Manners are so important, and some people definitely skipped out on that lesson.
This weekend at a picnic, my 5 year old daughter came up to me as I was talking with another adult. She said 'excuse me, mom' and then waited while I finished what I was saying and acknowledged her. Yes, you can have a juice box, thanks for asking. And she was off. The other parent was shocked at the entire exchange. 'So adorable, how did you teach her to say excuse me?' Well…if you have to ask, that's probably part of the problem.
Agreed. We are the most blind about our own shortcomings sometimes. You might not have realized it but that exchange, you and your daughter, gave them a better set of eyes about their parenting. One can only hope.
Clare Hewitt says:
Makes me laugh at loud!!! I tell my (almost) 2 year old…'you don't have to scream when you don't want something, you can just say "no thank you" in a nice voice' so now she says 'no thank you' to everything! 'Come on Flump, bath time' 'no thank you'. And if you push the point she just gets louder…'no thank you. No Thank you. NO THANK YOU'
I'm not sure she gets the concept yet…
That's adorable. Bask in it. Heck! Get a soul tan from it. Not to worry, the appropriate context of it will come. Remember, the karate kid waxed a crap ton of cars before he even knew he was prepping to lay down a mean crane kick. (My apologies if you're not familiar with the movie and have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.)
Nate Addington says:
Must resist urge to purchase a supply of those bumper stickers and place them on other people's cars…..Must. Resist. Urge.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! YEEEEEEESSSSS!!!
Myshal says:
Sooooooo with you on this one. My hubby and I are constantly marveling at the lack of concern younger generations show for others in general. It's terrifying – these are our future (and, in some cases, current) leaders?!
I've always taught and expected good manners from my boys. With three close in age, two of which are in middle school now, I'm often at wits' end with them. Those same manners save them from a load of trouble! There's nothing like having to wait for 15 minutes after I've taken them to a movie at the theater, because they have decided to hold the door for every last person exiting. In those moments, I can almost forget the two hours spent shushing them in the theater while they argue over the popcorn!
It's great to see someone encouraging good manners. Keep up the good work!
You keep up the good work, too! I have regular doubts about the good work I'm doing, but if I feel like I can share the better part, the part I feel needs to survive, to be voiced, then I'm pleased.

- "God made me as vampire, and Adam and Eve as human. I am worshiped as a god as some may come to worship you as a god. But there is no god but God."
- ―Lilith to Bill.
God is the supreme deity of the Judeo-Christian religions. He is believed to be the all-powerful creator of the universe and all life on earth. His throne is believed to be in a celestial spirit world known as heaven. His servants are known as angels. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth, a carpenter born in ancient Israel to Mary and Joseph, is the son of God and that he was born of a virgin, while Muslims see him as a non-divine Messiah. He is worshiped in both human and vampire societies.
According to the Book of the Vampyr God first created Lilith, the primordial vampire, and then created the first members of humankind, Adam and Eve, to serve as food of the "divine race". [1] Later God himself sent a divine human messenger, Jesus Christ, to guide humankind but he was betrayed by one of his followers, Judas Iscariot, for a few silver coins. [2]
In modern times, belief in God is often the cause or used as excuse for bigotry and persecution with both human groups and vampire groups claiming they're doing "God's work".

Powers & AbilitiesEdit
God is all-powerful, or omnipotent. Their is no authority higher than him, mortal or immortal. He is ageless and eternal; he was never created or born, he has always existed and always will exist. God is a spiritual being who exists outside of time and space, both of which he created. He is also all-knowing and all-wise, or omniscient. He knows everything that can be known or learned, and he never forgets.
God created the universe, earth, time, space, matter, angels, and souls with his bare hands all out of nothingness.

Vermont truly is an outdoor wonderland. When choosing holiday rental home in Vermont, you can choose a mountain cabin or a lakeside retreat. Either will prove to be a lovely home base for all of your activities.
When on holiday to Vermont, there are plenty of activities no matter the time of year you visit. During the winter, you can take advantage of the snowfall and icy weather by trying your hand at ice fishing, ice skating, snowmobiling, snowboarding or skiing. Beginners will be able to find instructors to help them learn just about any of these winter sports. If you visit during the fall, you will be witness to the spectacular sight of the leaves changing colour. The green leaves turn to fiery shades of yellow, orange and red and seem to light up the sky with their brilliant colours. The fall is also when the maple harvests occur. You will be able to visit small, family owned maple farms and learn about how this sweet treat is harvested and processed today, as well as how it was done in the past. In the summer, you can swim, boat, dive as well as explore the gorgeous scenery on one of the many hiking or biking trails.
Vermont might be a little state, but it has dozens of attractions that will appeal to every family member. There are several farm museums, such as the Billings Farm & Museum. This dairy farm also boasts a museum about every day rural life in Vermont. The kids will enjoy a visit to Bromley's Sun Mountain Adventure Park. There are thrill rides, a water park and the longest zip line in New England. Those who love history must stop by Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home which was built by the son of the 16th United States president.
The weather in Vermont is typical of the northern part of the United States. There are four distinct seasons, and each has their charm. The winters get quite cold with an average temperature of about -9 degrees. Many travellers flock to Vermont for the wonderful skiing, ice fishing and snowmobiling available during this time. The summers in Vermont can be quite hot and humid with an average temperature of just over 19 degrees, with some days getting as high as 30 degrees. There is some rainfall each month with an average of about 5 to 10 cm per month. In the winter months, when the most precipitation occurs, one is more likely to see snow than rain.
There are several airports in Vermont, the most well used is Burlington International Airport (BTV). Those travelling to Vermont from overseas will usually have to enter the country in a larger city, such as New York or Boston, and then take a connecting flight to Vermont.

Utah's gymnastics team carried the philosophy of wanting to have fun in 2013. The idea was to take the pressure and stress off results and focus on simply performing well.
It sounded like a good idea, but in the end it didn't work.

Pressure still got to the young Utes at times as they struggled with consistency in the most critical moments. The pattern followed them right to the end when Utah suffered three falls off the balance beam at the NCAA Championships and finished ninth.
Suffice it to say, it didn't take much for the Utes to realize they needed a change of attitude for 2014. Saturday against Boise State, SUU and BYU, the Utes hope to display their new outlook in the season opener at the Huntsman Center.
"Last year, that wasn't what Utah gymnastics is known for," said junior Kailah Delaney said. "This year, we're going out and being more aggressive and we don't want to hold anything back. We weren't happy with how things ended last year, so we knew we had to change our demeanor."
Hailee Hansen, a senior who may only crack the lineup on the uneven bars, was the instigator in changing the team's attitude. In the end, the one-event specialist could have the biggest influence on the team's success.
Losing standout Corrie Lothrop to a season-ending Achilles injury hurt the team in more ways than one, Hansen said.
"We had a rough couple of meets after that and it carried on in the season," she said. "We didn't want it to carry into this year so we felt like we all had to get together and be more committed to this season."
Utah has done so well in the offseason that it now has a new problem. Where they struggled to find six bodies to fill out lineups last year, the Utes are now 10 to 12 gymnasts deep on most events.
"It's hard to get into the lineup, but it's better for us," Hansen said. "Last year, we just had six, that was it. This year, if someone gets hurt or something, you can put someone in who is just as confident and as good as the others. It's a comfortable feeling knowing we have that depth."
All that depth means the Utes might not use many gymnasts in the all-around, and future lineups could be decided by how well they perform in meets such as Saturday's when the pressure is for real.
No one is guaranteed a spot, co-coach Megan Marsden said. For instance, standout Georgia Dabritz struggles on the balance beam. If she wants to be a contender for the national all-around title, she is going to have to find consistency and earn a spot in the lineup because she won't be given one just because of who she is.
"I'm not going to throw her a bone," Marsden said. "It's going to be a challenge for anyone to make the all-around for us this year but it's a good problem to have. I can't remember when we've had so many options."
Corrie Lothrop, back from an Achilles tendon injury, is expected to compete only on the bars and beam to start the season, while Dabritz, Kailah Delaney and Kassandra Lopez could all compete on three events. Marsden likened deciding the lineups to "flipping a coin."
"The challenge will be seeing who competes well under pressure," she said.
While the Utes are using Saturday's meet as a preview of what could be in store for them, the other teams will use the contest as a preview of who should rule in the Mountain Rim Gymnastics Championship, a new league created this season.
Boise State was picked to win the league in the coaches poll, Denver was picked second and SUU third, followed by BYU and Utah State.
SUU returns all but two of its gymnasts from a year ago as well as redshirt senior Alyssa Click, a two-time WAC champion on the uneven bars and 2010 WAC Freshman of the Year.

Hansen Develops Efficient Factory Trawler
50m Factory Trawler sets the standard in efficiency and fish processing capacity. The Danish Naval Design and Marine Consultancy Knud E. Hansen A/S has developed a highly efficient 50 meter factory trawler with a focus on operating efficiency and maximised catch processing facilities. The design delivers excellent fuel economy, reduced environmental impact, and the flexibility to be operated as a single or pair trawler. Fishery Fishing is well known to be an environmentally sustainable method of food production. Greenhouse gas emissions are far lower than the equivalent land-based meat production. Trawling Even though trawling has been regarded as destructive and high oil consuming, it is a fact that pelagic trawling together with purse seine is the most sustainable way of catching fish measured by energy consumption and emission of greenhouse gasses per unit catch. Through the use of new technology pelagic trawls can also operate close to the bottom catching "ground-fish" without damaging the sea bed. In addition, pelagic trawling has a low rate of unwanted by-catch compared to other fishing methods. Trawling does therefore have a future as a sustainable way of producing food. Size of trawler Standards of safety, working- and living conditions together with the desire to allow reasonable space for processing catch on board have led to an optimal ship length of at least 50 metres
Wesmar Introduces New Catch Sensors
Wesmar, a U.S. manufacturer of sonar equipment, has introduced its new line of trawl sonar catch sensors. 'They are the fastest and most powerful on the market," said Dennis Soderberg, WESMAR's Vice President of the Electronics Division.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think another major factor in the tank shortage, rather than just the respecing, is the fact tanking requires you to have to take responsability.
This comes mostly from leading the group, marking and knowing the instances, hell if your dps you can just roll up and hit stuff, if you die or take to much damage its not to much of a problem.
I enjoy tanking as a feral druid as it is but even I feel the need for a break to dps or heal and getting out of having to lead a group and tell people what needs doing.
I think that's exactly right r.e. responsibility, actually. I was tanking last night in Blood Furnace (my current warrior is only 62) when, about halfway through, one of our dps people had to leave and the only person we could find was a prot pally. So, we invited him and I switched to dps/offtank mode (I'm arms specced). Anyway, I've never really just dpsed in an instance before and I was amazed at how much less intense it was. I was still marking all the targets (pally didn't want to), but suddenly my responsibility was just to "beat the crap out of the skull" and not really worry about anything else (though, I couldn't help myself and pulled some stuff off the healer a few times--the pally wasn't the most "mobile" of tanks...).
I don't mean to belittle dps types since I'm sure that doing it *well* is pretty hard, but I found it to be a lot less responsibility than tanking (and focusing on one target is a lot easier than having to try to control 3 or 4). Fwiw, I was topping the damage meter most fights... MS, slam, slam, slam, execute. :D

"I loved how simple yet delicate my cards were, I've received so many compliments on them! The different shades of purple and the design are just what I wanted! I will definitely be shopping here for my babies birth announcements and for birthdays to come! Thank you tiny prints!"
"The product was great. Paper beautriful. The only problem is that when the designer reviewed what I put on the back, she should have centered it rather than leave it up at the top. If you put anything on the back, make sure you center it yourself."
"This design was a family winner. I got feedback from my husband, mother, sister and aunt and they all thought this was a cute invitation. While I know we're having a boy, I thought the purple was a great color. I did like how thick the paper was. And ordering the envelops with our address on it made life a bunch easier."
"Plenty of options in finding the right card. It was very easy to personalize the invite, and only took 5 minutes. The invites were delivered right on time, and they looked great. Paper was great quality as well as the printing. Everyone who has seen them love them and want to know where I ordered them from..."
"An added bonus to complement this fresh design— this card comes in a larger 4x6 format! It's the perfect size to showcase your special occasion in an understated, yet impactful way."

CRICKET: Maule rewarded
10:20am Wednesday 13th June 2012 in Sport
Tiddington CC coach Alan Maule has been recognised for his outstanding services to grassroots cricket.
Maule, from Thame, was presented with a special coaching certificate by former England captain Nasser Hussain during the Third Investec Test against West Indies at Edgbaston as part of the Sky Sports ECB Coach Education initiative.
He was among 13 coaches, who met Hussain during a very wet lunch in the Indoor Cricket School on Friday, all of whom were being acknowledged by the initiative's 'Reward and Recognition' scheme.
Maule coaches teams between the ages of nine and 16 at Tiddington CC as well as the South Oxfordshire District Development group at under 11, under 13 and under 15 age groups.
He said: "Kids are now playing more cricket simply because the coaching is so good.
"Getting recognition on a day like today for the work we do feels really fantastic – even if it is pouring down with rain."

March 22, 2013, 2:29 PM — Move over Glass. Google is also reportedly working on an Android-based 'smartwatch' as well as the computerized glasses.
While the Glass product, Google's computerized eyeglasses, is still in development, reports are continuing to surface about the company's work on another wearable computer - a watch.
Sources told The Financial Times (free registration required) that Google's Android Unit is developing a so-called smartwatch that would be an extension of Android smartphones. The unnamed source was said to have been briefed on the project.
Google did not respond to a request for comment on the report.
Google was awarded a patent in October of 2012 for a smartwatch design that includes a processor, a flip-up display, a tactile user interface, and a wireless transceiver that can connect to a wireless router.
Reports of Google's smartwatch development effort come amid swirling rumors that Samsung and Apple have similar projects underway.
"I think this is part of the building of the 'Internet of things,'" said Zeus Kerravala, an analyst with ZK Research. "The more things that are connected, they more value they have to us."
In that light, Google Glass could work very well with a smartwatch.
The Glass technology enables users to take photos, shoot video, pull up maps, and share images and information on social networks from their glasses. A transparent interface over the right eye shows options, and the device can be manipulated using voice control, gestures and touch.
At the South by South West (SXSW) conference in Texas earlier this month, Google demonstrated how Glass can use apps like sending and receiving email through the company's Gmail service.
A Google smartwatch could deliver email or text messages, location and map information or even coupons for a store the user walking past. And the messages could be passed on to Glass, or messages sent to Glass passed on to the smartwatch.

|Go with the Flow, Average Holographic Universe
|G.F. Smoot1
|Gravity is a macroscopic manifestation of a microscopic quantum theory of space-time, just as the theories of elasticity and hydrodynamics are the macroscopic manifestations of the underlying quantum theory of atoms. The connection between gravitation and thermodynamics is long and deep. The observation that space-time has a temperature for accelerating observers and horizons is direct evidence that there are underlying microscopic degrees of freedom. The equipartition of energy, the meaning of temperature, in these modes leads one to anticipate that there is also an entropy associated. When this entropy is maximized on a volume of space-time, then one retrieves the metric of space-time (i.e. the equations of gravity, e.g. general relativity). Since the metric satisfies the extremum in entropy on the volume, then the volume integral of the entropy can readily be converted to surface integral, via Gauss's Theorem. This surface integral is simply an integral of the macroscopic entropy flow producing the mean entropy holographic principle. This approach also has the added value that it naturally dispenses with the cosmological constant/vacuum energy problem in gravity except perhaps for second-order quantum effects on the mean surface entropy.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Here is, I believe (And if it is wrong let me know please) the quick and dirty rundown of the events.
Draenei get corrupted by the burning legion. 2 of the 3 elders (One of which is Kil'jadeen) pledge themselves to Sargaras.
The Valen (The remaining non corrupted elder) and what is left of the Draenei flee and land on the planet what we all call outland. They meet up with the orcs and everything is cool. They leave each other alone.
Then the Burning Legion show up. They know the Draenei are on to them so they turn to the orcs as a easy mark. They corrupt the orcs so they can go after the Draenei. Most (not all) of the orcs go evil and do bad things to outlands and the Draenei, so the Draenei flee to azeroth.

text: The following story was pieced together from letters, Civil War service records, internet postings, and genealogical records. The letters written by Bessie Hopkins Myers are a treasure that might never have seen the light of day had I not stumbled onto them using Fold3. Regrettably, the John Myers to whom those letters were written cannot have been the John Myers I was searching for. I had been trying to learn more about that John Myers, whose CDV was in an old photo album from the 19th century, an album I inherited years ago. However, since it is almost unheard of to find letters from home in a Civil War soldier's records, I followed the trail to discover who this other John Myers might have been. The odds are staggering that these letters would not only be found, but also tell a story of family drama that illustrates just how deeply the Civil War divided the nation. John Myers and George Hopkins, related through John's step-mother, who happened to be George's older sister, were living in the same house in St. Augustine, Florida, in 1860. John chose the Confederate cause, while George chose the Union, both of them serving in their respective navies.

I don't agree with this in the same spirit as Harmun except I jus think they should end this "hazing" right of passage. No more ganking lowbies. It's pointless and completely not fun for one of the parties involved. Prehaps ending the ability for an alt to transfer unto a 70 alt and take vengence might actually encourage same level pvp in on pvp servers instead of the gankfest it is now.
I have never been killed by some on my level leveling 3 times to 70 on a pvp server, not because I am a good player but because I was never attacked by someone the same level as me. All of my multiple deaths were by skulls, and that just isn't fun.

We caught up with Ce Ce Chin, founder of 80%20, to get some insight on her approach to running a successful shoe brand celebrating it's 5th birthday this year!
Share a little about your background and "Eureka!" moment. Did you always envision a creative career?
I always knew I would start my own collection. I was trained as a handbag designer, so I thought I would do an independent bag line. But about 6 years ago I spray painted stencils on Chinatown slippers and wore them out just for fun. Someone from Daily Candy noticed and then wrote a story about me and the shoes. Suddenly I got a ton of emails and calls asking about my collection. This is was Eureka moment- I felt the Universe spoke to me and said, we need your shoes, you need to commit to this!
How did the hidden wedge become 80%20′s signature feature?
Originally 80%20 started as a response to the sneakerhead trend- I felt that there wasn't a cool feminine sneaker for girls. However the line has evolved as my own fashion sense has well, grown up. I loved the comfort of sneakers, but they were just, well… flat. I'm 5 foot 4 and I wanted to appear taller, but heels weren't really my game either. So the hidden wedge sorta grew out of my own need. It's kinda like the padded bra of footwear!
You recently celebrated 80%20′s 5th anniversary. How do you envision the brand 5 years from now? What about 10 years?
In 5 years I'd like to have 80%20 retail stores dotted around the country, in metropolitan hotspots. And the stores would sell a larger lifestyle brand offering- bags, socks, and some apparel. Maybe even stuffed animals! In ten years, well Jesus…… I hope by then I'll have more time to play house, but in the coolest way possible, ya know!
Jet setting is crucial part of a designer's job in our global economy. To date, what has been your most memorable travel opportunity?
Doing the back stroke inside a large fresh water cave on my most recent vacation to Tulum, Mexico. I remember staring at the rocky stalagmites on the ceiling and feeling completely in touch with nature.
80%20 tends to pick up on a versatile silhouette and adjust the shoe to fit seasonal trends. Which particular style is your favorite to work with?
This season I've obsessed with our newest platform sandal wedge with a molded cork footbed. I swear I can run in this shoe- I think it feels even better than a sneaker.
We like some mystery…give us two truths and a lie!
On my bucket list: surfing a crazy long big wave by assistance of a tow ride jet ski; making baby shoes; running in the NY Marathon.
Any advice for aspiring designers trying to make a splash in contemporary footwear?
The sexy advice is, Believe in yourself and others will be believe in you. On a less sexy note, but equally if not more important- plan your expectations and logical steps to meet them. For example, how many units do you need to sell to make X amount of money? What is the plan of action to sell your product? How will you make yourself and your product known?

I would love to organize/attend a conference dedicated to the ideas and thoughts children have.
With the astonishing capacity children have to come up with ideas that are remarkable and sometimes so simple actually to realize we should be able to tap into their ideas to create something great.
Most of the times we push the idea a child has back, because we, with our big brains and tiny hearts, think we know better than them.
It is funny though that we as adults confuse the ability of having ideas to experience. Experience is usually only detrimental when trying to have ideas.
So, kidsConf would be a forum where we let the spirits of kids run free and show us, adults what they think should be done.
As a bouns someone would actually make one of those ideas happen.
