WCSF Game 6 GDT: Sharks 1 at Red Wings 3
Posted 10 May 2011 - 10:06 AM
Posted 10 May 2011 - 10:10 AM
He reports that Ryan Clowe didn't make it to Detroit...I'm assuming it's due to the hit from Kronwall..he said he wanted to get face to face with him so he got what he was asking for...This will be a huge blow to San Jose as he leads all players in scoring with 13 and has 6 assists in this series alone against us...Also on there it states Franzen is officially out, and Modano is in...Can't wait for tonight! GO WINGS GO!!!

$92 for a ticket?!? Do it! Buy two and find some random person to go with. I can't imagine you couldn't find someone in Detroit willing to go to the game.
I paid almost that much for tickets to the Wings game in Dallas, regular season, nothing on the line. Totally worth it. I spent about $1K to go to my first Wings game at the Joe, flight, ticket, etc...and I sat by myself. I'll do it again this year when we make the Finals.

LGW after 1 loss is irrational, after a few in a row it becomes quite comical, 22 playoff appearances in a row and 4 cups in that time and still going strong. Relaxxxxx !!

It doesn't have anything to do with Kronwall. Clowe JUST HAPPENS to have a Kronwall size dent in his body. What? It has nothing to do with him!

Nike Dunk Low – Varsity Royal – White
October 11th, 2010 by Aaron Hope | No comments
It's not like the Nike Dunk was exactly 'lost' in 2010, but with the Air Force 1 making a huge comeback and tons of new and improved lifestyle designs entering the market, the Dunk is somewhat quieter than last year. But here's a new pair that takes '10′s signature two-toned look and makes it into a screamer. The Nike Dunk Low pictured above is a study in high contrast colorblocking, with white and royal blue roughly dividing the shoe in half and only the Swooshes mixing these two shades. Check out more shots when you click the jump below and grab a pair today from Nike Sportswear retailers like Germany's Schuh-You.

25th October 2012 - Posted by Derek Johnson in category SMS Marketing Examples
I've been in Baltimore all week speaking to email marketing providers, internet service providers and wireless carriers about text message marketing and spam, at the yearly MAAWG conference.
It was a great conference, and one of the really awesome things was that right next door at the Baltimore Orioles stadium was the following sign. The sign is embedded below, and tells fans to text ORIOLES to 29292 to receive Baltimore Orioles alerts. How cool is that?

What I would do:
If your players want to come back, and you have already found potential replacements for them, I would absolutely tell them they are behind the potential replacements for their raid spots. If those replacements get turned away because the old raiders came back, that news will travel, and you will have problems recruiting should the need arise in the future.
This is especially important if those replacements are folks who have been in the guild and raiding on standby/backup. They've put in their time not getting a raid spot every time and don't deserve to be put on the spot.
If you're in the position of not having any replacements for them, a serious conversation is in order, as mentioned, but how you handle it at that point is a much more grey area. I would absolutely make it clear that you won't stand for a second departure on their account. Gone and back again is not something you need in your raid, and allowing it will give the raiders control, rather than officers.
As far as the Legendary goes: Just because it might be the best fit for the caster dps doesn't mean that it won't be a significant upgrade for another, more stable raider. While I don't advocate wasting the legendary, I also don't necessarily think that player deserves it. Since I don't follow caster weapons (I don't raid any more and I don't play casters) I don't really know what use it would have to other roles.

I know most of you are already doubled over in pain and possibly gagging from the news in the headline above but yes, Miley Cyrus is the mentor for the top 11.
I'm sure Crystal Bowersox will learn oodles from Miley, eh? And faint when she sees her! Seriously, Miley has had a successful teen career so far with No. 1 albums, a few hit singles ("Party in the USA," "The Climb"), movies and big-time TV show on Disney "Hannah Montana." For a 17 year old, she's had a pretty impressive run so far.
But can she mentor? I have no clue. Perhaps she can teach them about stagecraft because a lot of them clearly are not yet up to speed on that front.
So even though the theme was changed from "teen idols" to Billboard No. 1's, the concept of teen idols remains because on Wednesday, the Disney dynamos Cyrus, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato will be performing.
This is clearly a desperate attempt to draw back the teens and 18-34 year olds that have been leaving the show in droves the past couple of years.
And before Miley, has anyone even remotely as young as she been a mentor?
—> TV Guide has killed off "Idol Tonight" after four seasons. And as we know, Kimberly Caldwell is off doing her music career.

i can not believe this. I was busy preparing and completing my 3nd half on Sunday so this is my first chanc to see the AI news. I can not imagine she will be a mentor. Unbelievable, she still needs a mentor. I guess they know the old fogys (sp) will be around regardless and they need to capture the youngins'. Neither the mentoring nor the guest performances excite me. would love to know what the judges really think about this.

Hey, you guys remember how, every once in a while, we would joke that one day Idol would probably get Miley Cyrus to be a mentor? Then we'd all laugh because the very idea of that is like trying to divide by zero.
Well guess what? The producers of Idol just figured out how to divide by zero!
Oh and Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato are the square root of pi… or pie… or maybe it's just cheesecake.

I'm not a fan and she might only be 17 but she makes a lot more money singing than I do or any of the top 11 I would imagine…..so I guess she can advise them on how to make gobs of cash in the business! That's what it's all about anyway.

OK…Miley was there for "teen idol" week and then they changed the theme because they couldn't find anything for Crystal to sing. And now they're stuck with Miley who won't even know half the songs the Idols have chosen. Should be one heck of an interesting Tuesday.

Courtney: jealous of Miley? That's just stupy! I don't mind her singing, and acting, or making lots of money: it's the American way. However, acting as a mentor to people who have more musical experience than she does? Why that's as dumb as having the government fining us for not paying for health insurance! I just made that last bit up because that's so absurd that it would never happen.
Oh I also like how you assume that there are "Lot of adults on here" considering that an people are not adults until they are 26 now that is not a safe assumption.
Hope it heals up nicely Harm.

I guess Simon is getting out just in time. Next year, they will ask me to mentor. I will only take the job if they have some real "eye candy". But I am available two days a week.

I don't mind Miley's success. She's a Disney-manufactured teen sensation. There've been tons of them over the last 50 years starting with Annette.
I just don't understand how she is mentor material. For one thing, have you ever listened to her talk? She talks so fast and in that oddly mechanical sounding voice, that I'm not sure very many Idols will be able to understand her.

I've been speculating on how we got saddled with Miley as a mentor. The scenario I have come up with seems to fit…feel free to shoot all the holes in it that y'all can find.
Idol wants to attack a more youthful audience….this we know for sure. So they pick a mentor(Miley) then they pick a theme to go with the mentor(and let's not leave out Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato as guest performers) Teen Idols. Now where did all this go wrong? My guess is that none of the Idols picked a song from this decade. That most teen idol songs from THIS decade are virtually unknown to most of the top 11. Our 2 youngest singers, Aaron and Katie, both seem to appreciate music from another time period. Katie is strictly pre-80's while Aaron is a little bit more up-to-date.
My guess is that the songs picked were going to amuse an audience of an age a bit older than they were hoping for.
So back to the Billboard 100 and # 1 songs.
March 23rd, 2010
8:32 am
"Attract" a more youthful audience…not attack! Clearly a Freudian slip!

I wasnt going to comment until I heard it announced that Miley would be a mentor. OMG isent it Just AMAZING and Wonderful? Is Miley Cyrus NOT the Biggest star on the Planet EVER? YOU BETTER ask somebody if you dont know..OMG omg..(my heart is beating so fast) Bigger than Madonna, Britney who? Miley Ms Cyrus if your nasty..she is going to mentor using her YEARS of experience and I think I heard on the radio she's 17.So she has as Least 16yrs since she was singing since 1yrs old. Wow. just what the contestants need. Somebody 17yrs old giving them pointers. I wonder is she going to tell them that having a Famous dad already in show biz..helps a smidgen. Oh my golly, The undisputed QUEEN OF ALL STARS, MILEY CYRUS Will SHARE her YEARS of experience. My god I have never heard of something so funny in my life..I just don't think any of us are worthy to watch such a Mega Star share her vast experience. A Trillionare like her(last CD topped 1 Trillion on the planet Jupiter(Not, the planet Jupiter is a planet made up of Gas, there is no solid ground on which to land, but if you believe Miley has talent you believe a spaceship can land on gas.

Happy Tuesday, y'all! Well, I guess I'm getting my Train Wreck Idol this week after all?
I'm not really jealous of Miley, she's done well, but come on. She's a better actress than she is a singer… My thing is that she's younger than all but, what, two contestants? Per dictionary.com, a mentor is: "1. a wise and trusted counselor or teacher. 2. an influential senior sponsor or supporter" Miley? I think not.
D, I think your theory does make a lot of sense. I just think it's lame…Teen Idol would have been a fun, tongue-in-cheek theme. Idol seems to be missing the FUN this year. Or maybe that's just me? Perhaps this is the reason why I enjoy coveritlive so much…

Miley's huge, has a lot of fans and has recorded some big selling hit. Her dad was huge, she has TV, Movie, Music experience. She will have a lot of good advise, watch and see.
I can't see how you can complain about Miley being a mentor then not complain about Ellen being a judge. She has done nothing to warrant being a judge and now it showing, how long are they going to keep her on. So many wanted Ellen to do well but even they say she's blown it, is terrible.
March 23rd, 2010
9:25 am
My problem with this is that Miley as a mentor is that she's a 17 year old child still, and has no adult experiences to offer these performers. She has been a tween star, nothing more, and has yet to prove that she can or will be able to make the transition to adult pop star. It's not so easy making that leap, and until Miley can successfully do it she will remain Hannah Montana, tween TV/Pop star and nothing more.
This is not about Miley's talent, because even if she were better vocally than Whitney, Aretha, Celine, Mariah, Kelly, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Rondstadt and Donna Summer combined she's stil just effectively a child star who is hoping to be a successful adult recording artist just like the Idol contestants.
This move just reeks of desperation by the producers of AI.

Miley,miley, miley — you really need to like totally learn your history. Miley speak has been like so totally around since the 1980's. And I have been around even a little bit longer than that.

Bravo Mike S, Highlander and Neg — if having Miley mentor the idol wannabes is what it takes to have this much fun blogging . . . bring it!

Maybe she could get her daddy to sing (?) Achy Breaky Heart…what a treat that would be. Oh, these two are just dripping with talent!
March 23rd, 2010
9:42 am
Why make her a mentor when they could have just made her a featured performer? WTF…it would even make more sense to have her father, Billy Ray, mentor; at least he had some adult success on the charts, with eight Top 10 singles and multiple music awards.

Ok I wasn't going to break out my mad dance skillz, but Shakey made me do it.
You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms to go back onto the phone
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lilps to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
HOOAH!!! Papa's still go it after all these years. Eat your hearts out girls.
March 23rd, 2010
9:49 am
OOOOH….please, somebody just kill me. Darn you, Mike S, I hate that song and now I can't get it out of my brain!

Billy Ray…eight top 10 singles? Multiple music awards? Ahhh, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

If I was an Idol contestant and they said Miley Cyrus was going to "mentor" me, I'd quit on the spot.
March 23rd, 2010
10:16 am
Thanks, Mike! Just so y'all know, I'm "nodding my head like yeah, moving my hips like yeah" 'cause it's a "Party In the AI Blog!"
March 23rd, 2010
10:20 am
"Party In the AI Blog!" LOL and the party has just begun.
March 23rd, 2010
10:23 am
I'm reserving judgment until I see tonight's show. Miley might surprise us. (JTe$la, I can't resist pointing out that the idea of fining people who don't purchase health insurance came from none other than… the Republican Party. Yep, it was Romney. In fact, the Obama plan is an awful LOT like Romney's).

March 23rd, 2010
10:37 am
You were right the first time, D. "attack a more youthful audience" is exactly the point of this week's Idol baby-fication. And your speculation on "what went wrong" … I agree absolutely. With Miley, Usher and who knows what other "mentors" looming, this season Idol is grasping at straws to get "kids" (teenagers spending their parents' money) to watch. But "Kids" don't watch TV at 8 p.m. If they're not doing their homework or hanging out with friends, or participating in sports, they're playing with their computers. Watching TV? So not hot.
March 23rd, 2010
10:37 am
Didn't Miley win an Emmy for best TV actor? Or, maybe it was Billy Ray. They're both so talented.
March 23rd, 2010
10:38 am
Maybe she can mentor them into being more shallow and slutty, just like she's been mentoring all of your kids who have grown up watching her.
March 23rd, 2010
10:57 am
Only 12 more hours till Idol show time and Miley out here in the Pacific Northwest. Time to start drinking heavily.
March 23rd, 2010
11:00 am
Back to the actual competition for a tiny moment. . .
Tonight's the night for Lee DeWyze to break through. I've loved his performances so far, and last week he said he would work on having his WOW moment tonight. I think he's got the ability and determination, so I'm betting he'll do it. Any takers?
March 23rd, 2010
11:00 am
Tis is just for Shakey since they love Billy ray Cyrus so much.
Billy Ray has had 8 top 10 Billboard singles, including one #1 – Achy breaky Heart
He has sold over 50 Million albums, and currently holds the record for the longest stint at #1 on the Billboard top 100 and Sound scan charts for his album Some Gave All.
He has been nominated for 58 seperate awards during his career, winning 47 times. including in this is 1 CMA, 4 Billboard, 2 AMA, 2 CMT awards, and 4 seperate Grammy nominations.
IOW as much as any of us would hate to admit it, Billy Ray is actually a quite successful artist.
Oh and one last thing:
Don't Tell My Heart, My Achy breaky heart…….
March 23rd, 2010
11:01 am
Nutmeg: I wasn't singling anyone out
BTW I decided to keep the $ in my name just to remind you all that no matter how bad you thought Ke$ha was, it could always get worse. But how could it get worse? Hello Miley and Joe! I won't mention Demi, because Neg is correct in his assessment of her.
Hey, how long is tonights show? Is it going to be 2 hours so they can squeeze in more quality time with the Cyrus spawn?
March 23rd, 2010
11:02 am
In honor of JT, I too have chosen to change my Nom De Guerre. hehehehe
March 23rd, 2010
11:03 am
everett: LOL let the drinking game start a few hours early!
March 23rd, 2010
11:03 am
HMm now that you mention it JT, maybe we should start referring to her as Miley Cyru$
March 23rd, 2010
11:04 am
Mike, you are on a roll this morning!
March 23rd, 2010
11:08 am
Thank You Thank You, I will be here all season, Don't foget to tip your waitress. Oh, and try the veal!
Oh, I almost forgot, we have Joe Jona$ too!
March 23rd, 2010
11:08 am
Miley as "mentor"? WTF is that all about. Has the planet started spinning backwards or something???
Joe Jonas performing? Yeah is all I can say.
Demi Lovato? Check back in a couple of years for assessment of her.
Wanted to join JTe$la and Mike $ but wreckedpi$$a just doesn't work for me!

DistributionRead full entry
Range DescriptionWe are following here the taxonomy and proposed distributions of Silva Jr (2001). The taxonomic arrangement proposed by Groves (2001) was discussed by Rylands et al. (2005), especially in relation to the work of Torres de Assumpção (1983). It was not possible to delimit the ranges of the subspecies he recognized, but those of the species were mapped in Fragaszy et al. (2004).
The range of Cebus macocephalus described here includes those of the following taxa recognized by Groves (2001): C. apella fatuellus (Linnaeus, 1766) from Colombia, C. a. peruanus Thomas, 1901 from Peru; 1939, C. libidinosus juruanus Lönnberg, 1939 (in part) from the upper Rio Juruá. Cebus apella maranonis Von Pusch, 1941, recognized by Aquino and Encarnación (1994), is considered by Silva Jr. (2001) to be a junior synonym of C. macrocephalus, and by Groves (2001) to be a junior synonym of C. a . peruanus.
For Colombia, Defler (2004) described its range as follows: the entire Colombian Amazon, and all of the piedmont forest at least to 1,300 m above sea level, east of the Cordilleras, with the exception of some eastern areas such eastern Vichada and upper Cahuinari. It is also absent from much of the Colombian trapezium. C. macrocephalus (which he referred to as C. apella) is found also in upper valley of the RÃo Magdalena in Huila, up to 2,700 m above sea level (in the region of San AgustÃn) and the region of Tierradentro in Cacua to elevations of about 2,500 m (close to Inzá). Following Silva Jr. (2001), C. macrocephalus extends east to the RÃo Orinoco (C. apella is the form in the Venezuelan Amazon), occurring along the right bank of the Rio Negro to approximately São Gabriel Cachoeira where it is range is then delimited by a line approximately SSE across the Negro-Solimões interfluvium to the region of Coarà (on the Solimões) and then extending across the basin of the Rio Purus to the junction of the RÃos Madre Dios and Guaporé. From there its southern range is delimited by the Madre de Dios in Bolivia (C. apella occurs to the south of the Madre de Dios) west into Peru. Following Aquino and Encarnación (1994) its range then takes on all of the Peruvian Amazon north of the Rio Madre de Dios, but extending across the river to the south beyond the mouth of the RÃo Inambari (a southern tributary of the Madre de Dios). In Peru, C. macrocephalus (sensu Silva Jr, 2001) has been recorded at altitudes up to 1,800 m above sea level (Aquino and Encarnación 1994).

If anyone knew what Kenny Perry felt like Monday morning it was Ryuji Imada.A year ago Monday, Imada got to spend the day thinking and re-thinking his final hole of the AT&T Classic. How his approach came up short, and wet, in a hazard by the No. 18 green. The stroke cost him in a playoff loss to Masters champion Zach Johnson. This Monday, Imada got to smile. Perry got to think about approach shots in the water. Imada, a Georgia grad, redeemed himself for last year's loss for his first PGA Tour victory on Sunday, a year after falling one-shot short. "I'm just going to cherish this one and know I'm going to try to do my best in two weeks at Memorial," Imada said after his win on Sunday. "But nobody can take this one away from me." Imada earned it. He started the day two shots back of Perry and three of leader Charles Howell III. And with a 12:05 p.m. tee time, Imada got to set the pace, firing out with a 5-under 67, dropping him to 15 under for the tournament. Howell faded, shooting a 2-over 74 and Perry, just like his 6 under score in Day 1's pouring rain, never quit. He finished the day 2 under, despite missing a birdie putt on 18 that would have given him the win, to force a playoff with the awaiting Imada. "Played good coming in," Perry said. "I made some good birdies coming in to get the lead. Somebody always plays better. It's tough to win out here." No one knows that more than Imada, who overcame the early rain and a five-shot deficit after the first round, not to mention his experience in last year's playoff. "I never really believed in destiny, but I'm starting to believe it," Imada said. "I don't know what to say. I just love this place. I feel very comfortable on the golf course. I feel like I can play very well out here. "And, you know, even starting (Sunday) I was three shots off the lead and I didn't quite get off to a very good start, but I knew if I would just stick with it I would have a chance." And the win gives Imada more chances. Not just this year, but next year, in his adopted home state. "I'm going to get an invitation to The Masters, which I have always dreamed about playing there since I was a kid," the Japanese-born Imada said. "So I can't wait 'til next year and see what it's like next year at The Masters." SideBar: Edstrom finishes strong after some Saturday struggles After walking off No. 18 on Saturday, it would have been easy for Reid Edstrom to pack it in. He had just taken a nine and shot a 12-over 84 and was solidly in last place in the AT&T Classic field. But even with an early tee-time and a back nine start due to the threat of rain, the Norcross native showed up focused on Sunday to shoot an even-par 72. He still finished the tournament at the bottom of the leaderboard, but minus Saturday's disastrous round he played the TPC at Sugarloaf to 1 under par. Not bad for a Monday qualifier not expected to make the weekend. And now he returns to his rookie season on the Nationwide Tour, with a bit more experience and some tangible proof that he can play on the PGA Tour. After all, to reach the weekend he out played Players Championship runner-up Paul Goydos, David Duval, Notah Begay and Greg Norman. He also picked up a pretty good check for the week - $10,340. - From staff reports

Ground noise controls
Limiting the use of reverse thrust
Reverse thrust assists with braking once an aircraft has touched down. To minimise disturbance in areas adjacent to the aerodrome, pilots are requested to avoid the use of reverse thrust after landing, consistent with the safe operation of the aircraft, between 23:30 and 06:00.
Fixed Electrical Ground Power (FEGP)
Auxilliary power units (APUs) are small jet engines in the tail of an aircraft that are used to deliver electrical power and cabin conditioning while on the ground.
Through our Operational Safety Instructions (OSI) we specify conditions for APU usage in airport procedures to limit their use and supply alternative system for use whilst on the ground including fixed electrical ground power (ie we plug planes into the mains) and pre-conditioned Air (PCA). This seeks to limit the need to use the APU, which directly leads to a reduction in ground noise.
Currently at Heathrow, 90% of stands are fitted with electricity connections and 21% provide pre-conditioned air. If FEGP is not available airlines use ground power units to supply electrical power. These are diesel generation units and as part of our Operational Safety Instructions on ground noise, we set noise limits for them.
Turnaround and APU audits are carried out on a weekly basis covering the whole airport each month.
The timings and locations change each audit in order to ensure as true picture of usage as possible. Any non-compliance is dealt with directly with the airline.

Dear Australia,
I love you. But really… Today you kinda sucked.
Political friction and religion/race-based riot talk aside – because that's just a can of worms I don't want to be responsible for while I'm not here – just the mundane day to day I encountered in the course of one morning was enough for me to think, "What the hell are we doing?"
I went to McDonald's for lunch today with the LGBB. Special "treat" after I picked her up from school three hours early so we could get some last-minute shopping done before we fly out to Japan tonight (tomorrow morning if you want me to be pedantic… we're leaving home at about 4am *yawwwwwn*).
I waited for over a minute for the two young staff members, one male and the other female – full of their own youth and self-importance, from what I could gather – to finish their inappropriate conversation (clearly audible to my young daughter) about their partying on the weekend, before the male stepped over and drawled in my general direction (no eye contact or any clear stepping-up so I, again, had to gather he was addressing me), "Whadya like?"
Not being an establishment I frequent very often, so therefore not being terribly familiar with their menu, I went to the counter to ask for a box of cookies. Well, more specifically, I wanted to know if they actually still sold them. They were listed nowhere on the menu that I could see. So I asked him a perfectly simple question: "Do you still sell the McDonaldland cookie boxes?"
"Yeah," he replied, sounding incredulous. Well, like… duh, lady. He motioned with his head over to the wall. I still couldn't see what he was on about. So I asked to see a box and how much it was.
This was apparently too much for him. Perhaps I reminded him of his mother. Clean your room, Jeremy, and there'll be no XBox for a week if you keep up that attitude! He slouched over and pulled down a box from behind a perspex panel with an animated graphic of Ronald. Right. Silly me, my bad. Of course I should have seen them there. At the last moment, I saw the little sign above where his hand had reached down a box that said "Cookies $1″. So I asked for a second box. You know, to save him the five steps back to the counter.
He sighed and put them down on the counter, out of my reach. Not satisfied that he'd been quite enough of a little prick, he punched laboriously into the touch-screen register like a senior citizen learning how to work an iPad for the first time. This suave, smooth, buff, quite good-looking boy was certainly no trained monkey. He also had more tickets on himself than a box office. I knew he knew what he was doing. So in an attempt to just be done with the transaction, I held out my $2 coin to him. He held his palm out but didn't move it towards me, just held his hand there and met my gaze. With an attitude possibly not even his mother could love. I left my coin on the counter, reached over and grabbed my boxes and gave him a look that I hope said to him, "You are a disgrace and should be lucky you have a job, you little turd." He sneered at me. He actually sneered. And turned back to his equally impossibly pretty cohort to have a good laugh.
Now… I ask you: if either of those young adults had been your children, would you be proud? Sure, you could counter with, "Hey, McDonald's don't pay enough, it's slave labour, the hours are gruelling, the work is gruelling, the managers are never there, the work is not worth the money, the…" Yada. Yada. Yada. He's got a choice. He can leave. Or he can damn well suck it up and at least be polite. If I was giving him grief or making his life difficult, then, yeah. He'd have some just cause. But I asked him a simple question.
Of course, you could also think there was nothing wrong with what he did. Which would make my cause for concern even greater than it already is.
See, I worry about the world my child is growing up in. I worry about the classrooms she has to be in when she reaches adolescence, with children as bad or worse than this young privileged fool. I worry for the teachers and how they maintain any modicum of discipline (or gain any ounce of respect) if parents are churning out young people with this sort of awful attitude towards strangers. When they are in a position of service, no less.
It starts in the home. There. I said it (and I'm not the first to say it). If children see us sneering and sniping at each other, adult to adult (whether on the junior team sports ground or in the school carpark or at the play centre or the shopping mall), what hope have they got? If you like taking swipes at strangers for no good reason – because, after all, what have you got to lose, right? Not sleep, that's for sure – you are setting a not so fine example for your offspring. I've seen so much of it, been the brunt of so much of it. You poke your shopping trolley at the wrong angle and just happen across the angriest woman in your suburb on the wrong day and BAM! You've got yourself a fiesty shopper wanting a spit-fight.
Let's get over ourselves, huh? Stop trying to be "better than". Or be the "bigger person than…" You're not helping your children with this mentality. They have a "the world owes me" benchmark that is so high, only the very few will pass muster in their eyes. What a sad and lonely adulthood they face. They also end up behind the counter at fast food outlets begrudging the lesser-than customers who are making their lives misery. Ironic, much?
If retail/serving isn't what makes you happy… don't bloody well do it! Do us all a favour.
If reading this blog post is making you want to reach through the screen and slap me… try it! Do us all a favour.
Goodbye, Australia, I'm outta here for two weeks. And I'm taking my decent manners with me.
Me. Tonight. En route to Japan. Hnnnngggh! *in through the nose, out through the mouth*
Peace out, peeps xo

Hoping for change in Syria
Remember when President Obama used to warn Syria's Bashar al-Assad to stop his mass killing and step down?
Muammar Gadhafi's dictatorship had then just collapsed under Western bombing. The murders of Americans in Benghazi and the subsequent postwar tribal mess in Libya were still in the future. In those heady days of 2011, the rage was "lead from behind," the blooming Arab Spring and social-media types calling for democracy in the streets of Cairo.
The Muslim Brotherhood was proclaimed to be largely "secular." Echoing the pseudo-disavowals of Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini years earlier, the American-educated Mohamed Morsi insisted that his Islamist movement was not interested in running Egypt.
Now comes a depressing Arab Winter of chaos and growing Islamic authoritarianism. Egypt is a mess, with a wrecked economy and widescale persecution of Coptic minorities. No one yet knows exactly what actually happened in Benghazi. More than ever, the stubborn Assad clings to power. He calculates that killing 70,000 of his own is far better math than sharing the fate of other deposed Arab dictators such as Gadhafi, Saddam Hussein or Hosni Mubarak.
The result is that Obama's threats of yesterday about Syrian use of weapons of mass destruction are now contextualized and internationalized. We sorta, kinda want the United Nations, our allies or maybe the Arab League first to certify Assad guilty of using weapons of mass destruction. Then we can eventually, at some time in the future, organize a coalition to address the problem.
The president finds himself in a terrible dilemma with Syria — partly one of his own making, partly also due to the lose-lose nature of the Middle East. Obama rightly understands that to remove repugnant Arab dictators tottering amid insurrection is not difficult, given overwhelming American airpower. But he also realizes that the freewheeling tribal and sectarian mess that follows can be almost as odious as the authoritarian police state that crumbles.
The third alternative — fostering a postwar democracy, as in Iraq — requires a multiyear investment in American blood and treasure of the sort that former Sen. and presidential candidate Obama damned as foolhardy. He appreciates how Iraq imploded the second term of the George W. Bush presidency. Without that unpopular war, fierce antiwar critic but otherwise relatively unknown and untried Barack Obama might have never won the Democratic presidential primary.
Obama, better than anyone, also knows the rules of today's political opportunism. Currently, liberal hawks are calling for Syrian intervention on humanitarian grounds. They are echoed by many conservatives seeing intervention as a way of both hurting enemies such as Iran and Hezbollah while helping friends such as Arab reformers and Israel.
Yet put Americans on the ground in Syria, fighting both the Assad regime and al-Qaeda, with rising costs in blood and treasure at a time of near national insolvency, and yesterday's assorted zealots will quickly become today's "I told you so" critics.
Obama must remember the fiery 2002 speeches of then-Sens. Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Harry Reid authorizing the Iraq War. He read the once-impassioned pro-war columns of New York Times and Washington Post columnists. So he also recalls that all such interventionist zealotry soon turned from "my brilliant three-week victory over Saddam" into "your botched multiyear occupation" once the Iraq insurgency took off, American costs skyrocketed, and national elections loomed.
Without a credible follow-up of using force, Obama's once-soaring warnings have become stale and no longer earn any deterrence. Even a Nobel Peace Prize laureate can only so many times thunder about "red lines" and "game changers."
After serial but inconsequential deadlines to cease their nuclear enrichment, the Iranians now snooze when lectured. Assad bets that the danger of American retaliation for crossing the WMD red line is far less than the danger of losing his rule — and his life.
North Korea looks at the latest Obama remonstration to act responsibly in the same way most Americans regard his erstwhile promises to close Guantanamo within a year, or to dismantle the Bush-Cheney antiterrorism protocols: mellifluous idealism not necessarily followed by unpleasant implementation.
China increasingly believes that the U.S. president is more interested in reducing our deployable nuclear warheads than in warning aggressive Red Army generals that Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are firmly protected under the American nuclear umbrella.
In the end, we are left only with hope for change. Maybe Iran and North Korea will come to their senses and behave. Maybe Assad will finally fall. Maybe the Syrian insurgents will prove to be pro-American democrats after all.

It wasn't a person, it was a bot. It would have continued on with its sales pitch even if you had said no. It is the shotgun approach to marketing: spam everyone and eventually you will hit someone who plays WoW (there are over 8 million of us now right?). A few of those people will actually bite and buy some gold or items. This encourages their behavior. Ever wonder why you get so much spam email?
It turns out that people actually click on spam links and they buy stuff! I saw some crazy statistic one time about how 10-20% of people who are spammed bought something linked in a spam message or email.

Metro police are searching for a 17-year-old gunman accused of shooting and killing a high school student Thursday morning as he left his home to go to a nearby bus stop.
The shooting was reported around 6:40 a.m. in the 1900 block of 10th Avenue North, near Clay Street.
Police said the shooter, who has been identified as Eric Goodner, was sitting in a vacant lot and appeared to be waiting for the victim identified as Johnathan Johnson.
Metro police told Nashville's News 2 Johnson was shot in the neck.
"Everybody inside said they heard a gunshot and they came outside and he was laying on the ground," older brother Rory Johnson said.
Johnathan Johnson was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in critical condition and was pronounced dead around 7:20 a.m.
Investigators are questioning multiple witnesses.
School officials read a statement from the principal of Pearl Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School at the hospital.
The statement read, "Today the Pearl-Cohn family lost one of our own. We had a student who was fatally shot in the community this morning. The student was a young man who was friendly, kind and had a bright future."
The statement continued, "Our school community is responding to the needs of our students with grief counseling and additional support. The family of the victim has asked that their privacy be respected. I would like to thank Metro School Security, support staff, and local law enforcement for the quick response and support of our students as we grieve this loss."
Officials added there was no indication that there was any type of incident involving Johnson at school prior to the shooting. A motive remains unclear.
Johnson is one of eight siblings and had recently just become an uncle family members told Nashville's News 2.
"It's hard going through this right now, but I'm trying to stay strong for my sisters and for the family," Rory Johnson said. "It's kind of rough on the family. It is especially on my grandmother and all the elders of the family. They're trying to hold themselves together."
Grief counselors will be available to students on Thursday.
Goodner was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. He fled the scene on foot.
Police said Goodner, who was last known to have lived on 26th Avenue North, is considered to be armed and dangerous.
Metro Police said Thursday evening the shooting could be gang related, though Johnson's family said he was not gang affiliated.
It is possible Goodner has gang ties.
Metro Police started its gang unit in 2004 to combat gang activity in Davidson County. Sergeant Gary Kemper led the unit until recently when he took over the Cold Case Unit in Metro Police's Department.
"When we started it back in '04 we didn't know a whole lot so it took a few years to develop our knowledge of what was going on in the streets," he said. "As we went on we built a good base of information as a police department which helped us ID these gang members."
The department also started Operation Safer Streets.
Three times a week officers and supervisors from all of Nashville's seven precincts work to combat gang crime along with Specialized Investigations Division.
So far this year the operation has resulted in 868 arrests on 40 felony charges, 810 arrests on misdemeanor charges, six gun seizures, the service of 203 outstanding warrants, 74 field interviews of people believed to have gang knowledge and 4,287 vehicle stops in areas with gang presence.
"We always strive to go into areas gang members are in," Sgt. Kemper said. "A lot of times these gang members don't live there they just hang out there."
Sgt. Kemper said the pressure to join gangs can be strong among children who feel left out at school or at home.
"Not every kid can be a star quarterback and not every kid can be in the band, but every kid wants to be a part of something," he said.
Kemper said the average age for gang members in Nashville is 21 years old, which is older than the national average.
He also said, gangs in Nashville are not as well organized as in other metropolitan areas and children who reject gangs typically do not face retaliation.
"Sometimes being a parent is being a little tough on your kids and you need know who their friends are," he said. "If your child comes home only using nicknames for friends, that is an indicator or if your child comes home and is scribbling little gang signs."
There are resources available to parents on the web, including the with the U.S. Department of Justice.
Anyone with information on Goodner's whereabouts is urged to contact police at 615-862-8600 or Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.

Richard Hamilton (1922-2011), Painter
Sitter in 12 portraits
Artist of 2 portraits
Born in London, Hamilton studied at Westminster Technical College, St Martin's School of Art, the Royal Academy Schools and the Slade School of Fine Art. In 1950, he had his first solo show at Gimpel Fils Gallery. One of the first exponents of Pop Art in Britain, Hamilton's collage What is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing? (1956) ushered in the artistic era whose inspiration was mass-produced, cheap, expendable popular culture. An artist of international acclaim who worked in a variety of unusual media, Hamilton was a disciple of Marcel Duchamp whose Large Glass he reconstructed in the mid-1960s. A major retrospective of Hamilton's art was held at the Tate Gallery in 1992.

For a financial institution whose ATMs offer Latin as a language option, whose offices are below the pope's windows and where tellers work under the gaze of crucifixes, one might assume the Vatican bank would have a dispensation from earthly travails.
But new judicial woes and internal upheavals at the bank, officially known as the Institute for Works of Religion (IOR), have raised new hurdles for the Vatican, just as it entered the final stretch of years of efforts to join the international club of financial righteousness.
On May 24, in the type of corporate drama rarely seen in the Vatican, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, 67, the Italian president of the IOR, stormed out of the bank's executive offices.
He had spoken for 70 minutes non-stop in the boardroom to defend his management but left in a huff when it became clear that the other four board members were intent on approving a no-confidence motion against him.

Il Miglior Farber
Not a reference to how long it's been since my last entry, long though it certainly has been. Instead, I cheer at today's long-awaited arrival from the US of Negative Space, Manny Farber's book of film criticism. The book had been in my Amazon cart for ages, at the price of about £9, though for some reason I never got round to buying it; then, after Farber's death last summer, the book suddenly went out of print and the second-hand price shot up to £35, £40 or more. Same story on abebooks. A month or so ago a copy turned up on eBay for about $11 (though the shipping from the States cost almost as much as the book), and I leapt on it.
I borrowed a copy from the library a few years ago and was, of course, immensely impressed - above all by Farber's preternatural recall of the geometry of a particular shot in a film. And he's so right about so much. But even at the time it felt as if he was being a little unfair on some of the 'big beasts' of Hollywood - the purveyors of what he termed, in a celebrated phrase, 'white elephants': grand, would-be significant but, he thought, rather empty prestige pictures. Having now read what later critics like Andrew Sarris and the great David Thomson have to say on the subject of such 1940s/1950s directors as William Wyler (one of Sarris' 'less than meets the eye' directors), Joseph Mankiewicz and Fred Zinnemann, I can see just how influential Farber has been. And the current high critical standing of a super-efficient, unpretentious director like Don Siegel owes much to Farber's early advocacy of what he called 'termite art'. (There's a fantastic, and much-quoted, remark about Farber to the effect that he used to play both brows against the middle.) Farber was obviously reacting against the stifling orthodoxy of his time - the sort of claims to significance that we can perhaps guess at when we see how biggish-budget Hollywood dramas like The Reader and Revolutionary Road (now something of a dying breed) are marketed - but I wonder whether this prevented him from seeing that Wyler and co were just as craftsmanlike as his low-budget exemplars like Siegel. It seems to me that these tasteful, 'steady' films - to take two examples starring Audrey Hepburn, The Nun's Story (Zinnemann) and Roman Holiday (Wyler) - give cinema its bearings, in a sense: perhaps it's because you know where you are with films like this that more exciting and excitable films can do what they do. (It's the same with acting: somewhere in Negative Space Farber gives Henry Fonda a hard time for not being the tremendous force of nature that his co-star Eugene Pallette is in a particular film, conveniently forgetting that as the star Fonda has to carry the picture, and that a film with Pallette being larger than life at its centre would quickly become wearisome.)
Anyway, it's been quite a while since I read the book, so I imagine I'll take a look and find that Farber, clever fellow that he was, already has an answer to all my caveats.

Paul is now part of the fourth generation in America that is involved in farming and hopes the next generation will be involved also. Through his blog he provides analysis and insight to farmer tax questions.
We have gotten some feedback on my previous post about revocable living trusts. One of the features of a living trust versus a will is that the trust can be set up to provide for "guardianship" of your affairs during your lifetime should you suddenly become disabled, etc.
You can create other forms of documents that may accomplish the same, but by using the trust, you may be able to make this much easier on you and your family.
The primary intent of my post was to make sure that farmers understand that simply having a revocable living trust does not save estate taxes over what a properly drawn will would. In many cases, setting up a revocable living trust makes a lot of sense, just do not expect it to generate large estate tax savings.
Generally the key to estate tax savings is the gifting of appreciating assets during your lifetime that will eliminate these assets being included in your estate. A revocable living trust does not accomplish that.

It was a busy ham radio weekend at KB6NU/WA2HOM.
Saturday, I didn't get down to the museum until after noon. As usual, I went scouting around for special event stations. I bagged three of them:
- K2G (Babylon, NY). K2G was taking part in the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Coast Guard Auxiliary. According to the ARRL website, there were at least a dozen on the air, but I only worked this one and heard another in PA. A number of them were supposed to be operating CW, but I didn't hear any of them.
- W3S (somewhere in MD). This station was operating from a Boy Scout camp. I didn't get its exact location as they were kind of weak.
- WB8REI (Tiffin, OH). This was a Halloween operation of the Seneca County Amateur Radio Experimenters (SCARE). The certificate will look nice next to our QSL card from N0F (Frankenstein, MO), a station we worked last Halloween.
I was hoping to work N1P, Number One Pumpkin, the special event station at the Franklin County Pumpkin Festival, but I guess the skip was too short.
Saturday night, I prepared for the hamfest this morning. Several hams in the area have donated equipment and other stuff for us to sell to help finance our operations at the Hands-On Museum. I was going through the stuff when I found a Bunnel #9 key (see below).
This is a very cool key. I don't think it's worth all that much—many thousands were made during WWII by several different manufacturers—but it does have a nice action, and I like it. Unfortunately, it's missing the knob. Anyone know where I can get a knob for this key? After playing with the key for a while, I packed up all the stuff I was taking in the morning, and loaded up my Freestyle.
Sunday morning, I got up at 5:30am. I ate breakfast, showered, and hopped in the car at about 6:30. I had to drive about an hour to get to the hamfest, and I wanted to get there with plenty of time because I never got a confirmation that the organizers had received my check, and I wanted to get that all straightened out—if it needed straightening—before the hamfest started. Fortunately, there was no problem, and I got set up quickly.
The TS-820 station (including antenna tuner, bandscope display, speaker, etc.) went very quickly. I was asking $600 for it. Around 8:20 am, a guy came over and offered me $500 for it, and when I turned down that offer, $550. I decided to take that. He counted out 28 $20 bills and told me to keep the change.
Jim, K8ELR, had given me a box of 12 rolls of leadless solder to sell to the EAE Sales guy. He said that he would only buy five or six rolls at $7-8/roll, but to get with him later as he was still setting up. I did go over there later and offered him the whole box for $40, which he accepted. (I hope that was OK, Jim!)
I sold about $200 worth of books. In fact, I'm almost down to a single box of them. I'll be a little sad when they're all gone. I might have to start looking for electronics books or buying books from Ann Arbor library sale to re-sell at hamfests.
I packed up about 10:30, then cruised the aisles a little. Didn't see anything I wanted, so I hopped into the car and got back by noon. That ended my weekend in ham radio. I ate a little lunch, took a nap, and then my XYL and I went to a movie.

Gandalf takes a break on his MacBook Pro while filming "The Hobbit"
Let the software install wizard jokes fly! What you're looking at above is Gandalf, played by Ian McKellen, using his MacBook Pro while taking a break during filming of The Hobbit.
Naturally, the photo has inspired a slew of photoshopping and other creative spoofs. This one in particular is pretty good, courtesy of nufound.tumblr.com.
