Nikica Jelavic's pre-season brace features in today's round-up.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Nikica Jelavic's brace against Blackburn Rovers in yesterday's pre-season friendly dominates the Everton coverage in Sunday's newspapers.
The Croatian international was on target twice as the Blues beat the Championship side 3-1 and match reports feature in the Daily Star Sunday, Sunday Mail, Sunday Express and Sunday Times.
The Sunday Mirror and The Sun on Sunday report on post-match comments made by boss Roberto Martinez that Jelavic is facing a four-way battle for a place in Everton's starting line-up, with Arouna Kone, Victor Anichebe and Kevin Mirallas providing all-important competition.
And the Sunday People carries a story about how impressed the Everton manager was with Jelavic's work rate.
Meanwhile The Sunday Express report that Everton are preparing a £15million move for Republic of Ireland and Wigan star James McCarthy. It is claimed that the creative midfielder is crucial to Martinez's plans for a successful campaign but the Blues could face competition from Tottenham Hotspur who are also interested in the 22-year-old.
The Sunday Express also suggest that the Everton boss is interested in securing a loan move for Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair.
Further transfer speculation links Everton with Chilean and Sevilla midfielder Gary Medel in the Sunday People.
Elsewhere in the national newspapers, The Daily Star on Sunday, Sunday Mirror, Sunday Express and The Mail on Sunday mention that Marouane Fellaini remains a possible transfer target for Manchester United and Arsenal.

The Unavoidable, Obligatory First Post…
Hello, my name is Nick Miller.
In the enthusiastic and counterintuitive spirit of avoiding waxing lyrical about how I am engaging in a mission to share myself with the world through this website, here is my way of introducing myself:
Who Am I?
I am writing something right now that is consuming my life. I hope I can finish it soon. I idolize Haruki Murakami. His book Norwegian Wood may have changed my life. I have a fiendlike love for literature. My current love affair is with Truman Capote. I think he might be The One. My fascination with early 20th century novelists is still unwavering. I may or may not read this letter from Hemingway to Fitzgerald every night before bed. I love the contemporary stuff, too—Franzen and Eugenides are damn talented. I adore independent films with troubled, misguided but talented protagonists.
See (for a complete list write me):
- Half Nelson
- Love Song For Bobby Long
- Crazy Heart
- Factotum
I am also obsessed with all Woody Allen films. If you have neglected seeing Annie Hall or Manhattan, please change your ways.
I once lived here in Italy for 6 months with a family and became conversationally-fluent in the sing-songy, beautiful Italian language. I have an insatiable appetite for warm, delicious food, and I secretly idolize people who know how to cook a tasty meal. I read cook books and watch cooking videos. Cooking a steak has never been this easy and enjoyable.
If I am passionate about something, I'll be the hardest working person in the room. I'm also very fascinated with talented people. If you're truly good at something, anything, I'll take time out of my day to watch you, listen to you, or read about you.
I love Moleskines.
A Plan for Life.
To not die until I have accomplished something worthwhile. To not hurt anyone. To not let my beard get completely out of control. To have a few lovers here and there. To write about it. To travel. To buy things for my family. To stop making my Mother cry. To have a house in Victoria Beach. To have a ranch in Montana. To eat good fresh food. To cook well. To have barefoot excursions and hooded sweatshirt conversations with pretty-eyed girls. To have a huge bed. To have a collection of vinyl records. To have wine parties with old friends who have wondered where I've been. To be friends with the invisible people in the invisible towns. To have the local wine shop owner greet me by name as I walk into his store. To watch the sun rise a few times. To watch the sun set every time. To write a perfect sentence. To dream about what could have been. To see a perfect opportunity for love and walk in the other direction. To make people think.

Usage is the only thing that matters
Usage is more important than design.
Usage is more important than architecture.
Usage is more important than marketing.
Usage is the only thing that matters.
A product dies from a lack of clarity, not for a lack of effort.
When I started building products, I started from the same blue sky mentality that plagues most entrepreneurs: we can build everything under the sun, instantly.
Resource scarcity always brings it back down to earth. In the real world, hard decisions have to be made on what projects should be funded and what will be left for another day.
How a team decides what to work determines a company's life or death. Increasing usage should be the focus and the primary reason a project gets worked on.
The argument for framing all resource allocation under the lens of increasing usage is:
- Without users, no one see your visual design.
- Without users, no one will utilize your new feature.
- Without users, there is no traffic for ops to manage.
- Without users, there is no need for an API.
Usage is the currency for the life of a product. Increasing usage allows a team to continue to invest and grow. The above argument holds that a team should first invest in projects that move the needle. Anything that falls outside this paradigm is done when you have the time.
Focusing resources first on increasing usage does not mean design, infrastructure, operations, marketing, sales, etc are not important or should not be resourced. For example, your infrastructure needs to support the ability for a quick iteration cycle to improve usage. Down-time translates into zero active users.
Most product teams build feature after feature without going back and supporting the basics of what made the product successful in the first place. The most important point for a user is the pre-conversion experience (the visitor experience); however, these pages and product flows are often considered "boring" and "old news" by engineers, designers, and product managers. Despite the lack of enthusiasm, these projects tend to have the highest ROI.
All projects should be framed with the question, "How much will this increase usage?". Usage should be translated into a metric, such as "number of new users" or "improving session length".
Be very firm on quantifying the phrase "moving the needle". Predict what number will move and why. Compare the time horizon of each project and when you will see results. The longer you wait, the more users you are losing.
The primary motivating factor of everything you do should be to increase usage. If usage is low, you are doing the world a disservice. You are short-changing the world on the value you deliver.

Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera dies in plane crash near Mexico
Mexico city, Mexico (4E) – Renowned Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera is feared dead after a small plane carrying the reality television star and six others believed to have crashed in the mountains near Nuevo Leon, just south of Monterrey.
Mexico's Ministry of Transportation and Communications, which launched a search and rescue operation on Sunday, confirmed that there were no survivors.

The plane was heading towards Toluca, near Mexico City. Born to Mexican parents in California in 1969, Rivera, 43, was NBCUniversal's one of biggest bilingual television stars. She got huge fame from her reality show, "I Love Jenni".

bottom line here is this..... illegals are criminals... plain and simple and should be treated accordingly. Illegals are knowingly breaking our laws and should be held accountable. Every single person who is here illegally should be deported. I do understand why they come, America is the greatest country on earth, and affords them the opportunity to give themselves and their families a better life. All I am asking is do it legally. Rewarding these criminals with citizenship, is simply wrong and unfair to those who do come here legally. Also, no welfare entitlements to anyone who is not a citizen... why should criminals be rewarded with welfare entitlements ? Stop the entitlements we may see some illegals leave and go back home,

EDMONTON -- A health employee who let the Calgary Flames jump the swine flu shot queue was sacked Wednesday as the controversy over preferential treatment to celebrity athletes spread to the Flames' farm team and beyond, including members of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"Like most Albertans, I am deeply offended that this circumstance has occurred," Ken Hughes, chairman of Alberta Health Services, said in a news release.
"(It) was a serious error in judgment."
Hughes did not release the employee's name or discuss the circumstances that led to the firing, but said "an investigation is continuing and may result in further disciplinary action."
Alberta Health Minister Ron Liepert said the firing sends the message that favouritism will not be tolerated.
"Nobody feels good about it," said Liepert. "I'm sure if they could rewind the clock that all of them would think differently."
Ken King, the Flames' team president, declined an interview with The Canadian Press on Wednesday.
But he told open-line radio show host Charles Adler that the pink-slipped employee "paid a huge penalty" for allowing Flames players, management and family members to get the vaccine last Friday.
King said he plans to reach out and help him or her find work.
"I don't know the name of that person, but I'm going to find out, and I'm going to speak with them, because I think that they thought they were doing a good thing for us," he said.
The Flames faced even more hot water Wednesday when it was revealed the team's British Columbia-based top-tier farm team -- the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League -- had recently vaccinated most of its players.
In a news release, team president Tom Mauthe said the shots were given after most of the players fell ill on a recent road trip. They went to a public clinic for shots, he said.
"At no time did anyone from the Abbotsford Heat receive preferential treatment nor did they jump a queue," said Mauthe.
But B.C.'s medical health officer, Dr. Perry Kendall, said rules were broken.
Provincial guidelines clearly state the vaccine is to be offered first to high-risk groups including people under 65 with a chronic condition, children between six months and five years and pregnant women, he said.
"There has been no authorization given by me or any of British Columbia's medical officers or health authorities for any sports team to receive early access to the H1N1 vaccine," Kendall said.
"That was clearly outside the province's guidelines for the publicly funded vaccine program."
In New Brunswick, Dr. Eilish Cleary, the chief medical officer of health, was surprised to learn the Moncton Wildcats of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League had received their shots last week despite a national shortage of the vaccine.
"It is unfortunate to see a situation where hockey players as a member of a team might have been vaccinated before other people who were in a prioritY group," Cleary told a news conference.
"We're working to make sure that does not happen again."
New Brunswick health officials have said the clinics were intended for priority groups such as health-care workers, children, aboriginals and people with chronic illnesses.
Wildcats general manager Bill Schurman said his team wasn't given any preferential treatment and that the players received their shots in a public clinic before the priority order was issued.
League spokesman Karl Jahnke said the Acadie-Bathurst Titans had also received their swine flu shots.
In Toronto, the Globe and Mail reported on its website Wednesday night that some players and staff members of the NHL's Maple Leafs had been vaccinated.
The Maple Leafs insisted "no preferential treatment was requested nor received."
The team refused to say how many players got the shot, and whether there were underlying health complications.
"While all professional athletes are considered high risk to exposure and transmission of the flu due to excessive contact with other players, heavy travel requirements and public exposure, only certain players and staff have received the H1N1 vaccine," a Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment statement said.
But Canada's chief public health officer refuted that, saying there's a difference between being at high risk of getting the flu, and of it causing serious illness or death.
"We have focused the priorities of who is to be immunized first based on who is at greatest risk of severe disease and dying, not on who is more likely to be exposed," Dr. David Butler-Jones wrote in an email to the Globe.
The newspaper also reported that some members of the NBA's Toronto Raptors, another team owned by Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, received the shot.
Ontario health officials have said they weren't aware of any professional athletes jumping the queue for the flu shot.
Only those who belong in one of the province's priority groups will be able to get the vaccine ahead of everyone else, Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews said prior to the Globe report.
"If professional athletes are pregnant, if they have underlying health conditions, if they are children between the ages of six months to under five, if they fall into one of the high-priority groups, they will get vaccinated," she said.
"If they do not -- and I suspect the vast majority do not -- they will have to wait just like everyone else."
Among other pro sports teams, the Edmonton Oilers and Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL said they did not seek or get preferential H1N1 vaccines for their players.
In Alberta, the firing was the latest chapter in what has become a nightmare rollout of the H1N1 vaccine by the Tory government.
Premier Ed Stlemach's government initially urged all Albertans -- not just those in high-risk groups like young children and pregnant mothers -- to get the vaccination. But when clinics were overwhelmed last week by long lineups and with vaccine dwindling, the province shut down all clinics Saturday.
They are set to re-open Thursday but will inoculate only children aged six months to under five years, along with pregnant mothers.
The Flames players, currently on a road trip in the U.S., had mixed reactions. Their next home game is Saturday night versus the New York Rangers.
Captain Jarome Iginla said Tuesday he understood why Albertans would be angry, while defenceman Robyn Regehr said when they got the needles, they didn't know the vaccine was in short supply.
Fans seemed less forgiving.
A Facebook group formed Wednesday calling on fans to boycott the Flames over the controversy.
"I'd take it personally if it's my son or daughter that died of H1N1 because some elitist scumbag butted in line," said an emailer named Jack on the CBC.ca website.
"Rolling out office flu shots is a good thing, but only offering them to famous millionaires and their families is not," added another.
A third said the move smacks of politics for a government that has been hammered in the opinion polls lately for mismanaging the economy and for delivering a multibillion-dollar deficit budget.
"I smell a rat ... or scapegoat."

BlacksmithTodd "Grizz" Mace
Todd "Grizz" Mace was just like any other visitor to the O.K. Corral Museum, in Tombstone — except he took home a job as a souvenir. "They had been looking for a blacksmith to show people how it all works," he says. "I had all the equipment, so the owner [and I] made a deal: He needed a blacksmith; I needed a place to work." Despite it being a dying art form, Mace has been in the blacksmithing trade since he was a 5-year-old living on his family's ranch in Idaho. "I would get home from school, change into my work clothes and head over to the blacksmith shop, where my granddad and uncle would teach me the safety part of blacksmithing," he says. Over the years, Mace has found work plying his trade in Arizona and California. Four years ago, he was offered the job of resident blacksmith in "The Town Too Tough to Die." Today, Mace hammers iron and steel over a 2,600-degree coal forge for as many as six hours a day, creating classic and custom pieces. And both of his sons are in the business, which gives him the most satisfaction: "It's pretty much in the genes, you might say." — Kathy Ritchie

You know what they say, you can't please everyone. I, for one, like the direction this show is going. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be fine. I also wish that C Christian Moore (Arena guy), Holisky, Matt Low (Raid Rx) and Belt (Mage Guy) would come on the show more often or possibly adding one of them as a permanent third host.

Sheffield firm set for administration; BDO called in
Readers' comments (13)
Sad to see this one go after 100 years of service. Unfortunately it's not the first and it won't be the last.
It's a real tragedy. All those hard-working families losing their jobs.
Indeed many more in the pipeline to go.
Firms need to merge to reduce competition and regain stability, economies of scale and pricing power.
It's sad but true but this will only help as the industry can't fight commoditisation and outsourcing.
The legal sector will not be a growth industry for many years if ever.
The real tradgey here is the financial ruin of future law students who will see decreased opportunity and massive debts.
Apparently, the gaping hole left by a seven figure unpaid tax bill might have had something to do with it, as well. As with Halliwells, it is sad to see employees suffer due to mis-management.
Do we know whether AMS has current or pending trainees?
Being in the ARP was the final straw apparently.
Does anyone out there know if this firm was previously Fenoughty & Ashton? My father James William Fenoughty was a partner in Fenoughty & Ashton Solicitors in Sheffield (which I believe was very highly regarded), but died in 1941 aged 55. I was only 4 when he died, so would be thrilled if anyone knows anything about him...
Margherita Walters
my family have known this old firm for more than 90 years and with regret had to terminate relations following the death of my father.
J W Fenoughty was a Catholic solicitor who became famous in the 1930s trial of the infamous Mooney gang.During the sixties the firm traded under the name of Ashton,Fenoughty,Hewitt Barlow and Wise
JWF was President of the Catenian Association's Sheffield Circle in 1930
I would like to hear more from Margherita about her father
im after some deeds to my house,, how do i aquire them,? i have tried ringing, but no answer,

I just came up with a pretty interesting, and plausible, trade scenario:
Buffalo Bills receive:
G Brian Waters, No. 3 overall pick
Kansas City Chiefs receive:
RS/WR Roscoe Parrish, No. 11 overall pick, No. 28 overall pick
I am now convinced that either Jeremy Maclin, Michael Crabtree or Tyson Jackson will be there at 11. If we go WR at 11, we draft someone like Larry English or Michael Johnson at 28. If we go DE at 11, we go with a WR like Darrius Heyward-Bey at 28. We also get a kick returner in this deal, and a proven one at that. We help our pass rush, help replace Tony Gonzalez and give our special teams a boast with just one trade. Granted, we would have a hole on the offensive line, but we could make other moves or address that later in the draft (round three or four).
Buffalo does this because they replace their offensive line losses (Derrick Dockery and Jason Peters) in one fell swoop with Waters and either Eugene Monroe or Jason Smith. It would pretty much be an offer too good to refuse for the Bills, a team determined to win now, as well.
Addicts, if you are the Chiefs do you do this deal?

For a young middle linebacker in the NFL, there might not be a more significant stamp of approval than one that comes from the 13-time Pro Bowler, Lewis. Since his rookie season in 1996, Lewis has dominated the league year in and year out. While he spends most of his time scouting opposing offenses, Lewis did admit that Lee has caught his eye.
"The things I have seen about him is that he just runs around," Lewis said. "You see this one energizer bunny that's on that defense … he's definitely one of those high motor guys and always around the football. Anytime you have a high motor you're always going to look for somebody that's always around the ball."
The Cowboys are relying on Lee to be the strength of their defense at the middle linebacker position for years to come. Lee's tendency to "be around the football," as Lewis described it, was apparent last season, Lee's second in the league, when he broke out with 131 tackles.
Lee's total for tackles last year was actually even more than Lewis recorded. However, Lewis was in his 16th season and still managed to rack up 95 takedowns. In Lewis' second year in the NFL, back in 1997, he was actually much more productive than Lee's breakout campaign last season as Lewis recorded 210 tackles to improve upon the 142 he recorded as a rookie.
Still, Lee has done enough in his short time in the NFL to garner the admiration of perhaps the league's most respected veteran.
"I really, really appreciate the way he plays the game," Lewis said.
Lee has also surprised a lot of people and stepped up as one of the leaders of this Cowboy team. He has been known to bring up the intensity of otherwise routine practices, trying to lead his team by example.
Lewis has been the unquestionable leader of the Ravens for at least 15 years, but head coach Jason Garrett warned the media to tap the breaks when trying to expect any member of the Cowboys to provide the intangibles that Lewis does.
"I think it's unfair to compare anybody to Ray Lewis," Garrett said. "This is a great player, first ballot Hall of Famer, as good as it gets."

Gary Ross Writing Lance Armstrong Biopic
Posted on Thursday, June 11th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
According to the Risky Business blog, producer Frank Marhsall has teamed screenwriter Gary Ross with the long-gestating Lance Armstrong biopic. "We knew Gary well from is work on Seabiscuit and thought he'd be perfect for this", said Marshall. Yeah, you know – a man and a horse and a man and a bike. I'm pretty chuffed with this news because, as I'm sure I would have told you before, I'm a big fan of Ross. Can't say I know too much about sporty cycling, though.
The film is to be based upon a 2000 biography, It's Not About the Bike which Armstrong and his co-writer Sally Jenkins jammed full of his life's many interesting stories. Both Matt Damon and Jake Gyllenhaal have reportedly been attached as stars for the lead role, though there's no current casting announced. Rather curiously, though, it seems that some filming for the film took place rather a long time ago…

Pharmas Hope to Grow Fat With Obesity Drugs
Tony is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Pharmaceutical companies have had some recent lean years thanks to the patent cliff and other factors. But some pharma companies hope to grow fat with profits again soon.
Their plan to do that? Jumping on the growing global trend of obesity. Pharmaceutical firms believe consumers are moving away from fad diets and look forward to a surge in sales from prescription medicines that promise to help consumers lose weight.
In the United States alone, there is a need for something that can tackle the nation's problem with its citizens being overweight. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than two thirds of Americans are overweight and more than one third – 78 million U.S. adults – are considered to be obese. That percentage is forecast to climb to 42 percent by 2030.
A study last year indicated that obesity accounts for $190 billion in annual medical costs, which is quite a burden on the U.S. healthcare system. The CDC estimate is that obesity costs the U.S. economy $147 billion annually in medical expenses.
Companies Looking to Fatten Up
Several drug companies are moving forward in the battle against Americans' expanding waistlines. One company, Vivus (NASDAQ: VVUS), launched its weight loss drug Qsymia last autumn. The company's president, Peter Tam, told the Financial Times "It's been a very challenged category, but there is a feeling we have to do something about obesity with the realization that it is a medical epidemic."
The last diet drug approved – Xenical from Switzerland's Roche Holding AG (NASDAQOTH: RHHBY) – was approved in 1999. The FDA has held to a very high standard for diet drug approvals since the withdrawal of "fen-phen" in 1997. That drug, created by Wyeth, was found to cause heart valve problems. This caused Wyeth, now part of Pfizer, to set aside reserves of $21 billion for legal bills and payments from lawsuits.
But now apparently, the FDA agrees with Mr. Tam and is moving forward. Last year, it also approved another diet drug, Belviq, which will be launched very soon by Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA). Arena's partner on Belviq is Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai.
A third company, Orexigen Therapeutics (NASDAQ: OREX), is preparing to submit its Contrave diet drug for FDA approval again after previous rejections. It also has a Japanese partner, Takeda Pharmaceutical.
But investors shouldn't worry about the prior FDA rejections. Qsymia and Belviq were also rejected by the FDA before receiving approval. Senior biotech analyst with Cowen, Simos Simeonidis, told the Financial Times "There has been a very significant and rather sudden shift in the views of the regulator (FDA) over the past year."
Lingering Problems
The changing of the FDA's hard stance against diet drugs is good news for these companies. But several problems still remain.
One is the limited effectiveness of these diet drugs. The weight loss impact of Qysmia and Belviq was found to be 10% and 6% respectively. Those results were under ideal conditions with tight medical supervision too.
The second problem is bigger – the risk of side effects. Diet drugs have had history of unwanted side effects with fen-phen being the worst example.
The current generation of diet drugs also has side effects. Roche's Xenical is also only moderately effective while producing unwanted side effects like oily stools. It is now sold over-the-counter as Alli by GSK, which has been trying to unload it for months now. But no buyers have stepped forward.
Qysmia can cause birth defects. So Vivus had to agree to a tight monitoring program with the FDA in order to gain approval.
But the more widespread the use of Qysmia and other diet drugs becomes (with usage perhaps not so closely monitored by physicians), the door opens wider for misuse of the drugs. Consumers may not only become disappointed by results, but litigious if side effects become apparent.
That is likely one major factor keeping the stock price of company like Vivus near its 52-week low despite the approval from the FDA.

Puleeze! Who's Got Time for Spring Cleaning?
'Tis the season for spring cleaning! But who's got the time -- or energy??
New York Times best selling author and media personality Julie Edelman, aka The Accidental Housewife, has these suggestions
SAY HI-LO TO DUST- Start from the highest places where dust has gathered such as ceiling fans, high lights, move on down to blinds, then walls to the baseboards and finish by disturbing those dust bunnies who have taken up permanent residence under your couch! Use microfiber cloths and mops with extendable handles which are terrific at attracting dust dry or complimented with water or store-bought products. Using micro-fiber products are also a great and mindless way to be green enough without becoming the Queen of Green overnight.
SEE YOUR WAY CLEAR- After a winter of snow, ice, sleet, rain and indoor smut, smoke, fingerprints and who knows what else now's the time to take aim. Grab that microfiber window cleaner and/or squeegee so you'll see the buds on the trees or your neighbor's hunky landscaper. A simple and handy mix of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3rd water will get the job done and cost you just pennies! You can also use yesterday's newspaper to dry which is lint free and very eco-friendly.
SMITE THE MITE- Sneezing, coughing, got itchy eyes? Likelihood you've been sleeping with the doo from dust mites. So when you change out your quilts for the lighter blankets, bedspreads and linens wash those suckers including your mattress pads, pillow covers and all else in a high, high heated cycle (of course check care labels first!). After laundering store the winter items in air tight bags to keep those mighty mites out of there and next years achoos at a minimum!
SUCK IT UP- When all your dusting and cleaning is done vacuum the floors and carpeting. Better yet, if you have a child of 5 years or more get them to do it for you since they love to vacuum. Be sure to vacuum mattresses too-both sides--and your bed's baseboards to suck up those nasty mites and their doo!
CHECK, CHUCK 'N CLEAN- Go through all your bathroom and kitchen drawers, cabinets, counters and fridge. Chuck anything that smells, has changed color or that's taking up space that you haven't used such as that juicer or blue eye shadow that was last winter's must have. Check expiration dates too. Then wash with disinfecting wipes or a mix of vinegar and water to sanitize.
COME OUT OF THE CLOSET- Hit those closets and loose that magic mirror! Get rid of any of those shirts, pants, skirts, or suits that somehow shrank in size over the winter! Use old shopping bags (which I collect like Manolo Blahnik shoes as did Carrie Bradshaw in Sex in the City) and label one store, toss and giveaway. Leave the bags in your closet year round so you can organize and edit on a whim anytime! After you wash or dry clean items like sweaters and other wintry stuff store them in seal proof bags so moths don't make them holier during the warmer months.
FINISH WITH A DIRTY MARTINI- Hey you've worked hard! Time to embrace your "good enough" job of spring cleaning. After all, Oscar said 'man was made for something better' and a dirty martini is a perfect way of not disturbing dirt but celebrating it. Plus after drinking one your home will look a lot cleaner!
Happy Spring!

I like the way you think. Very common sense advice.
Thank You

Every one knows that modern life seems to be not very cheap, but people require cash for various issues and not every man gets enough cash. So to get some mortgage loans or secured loan will be a proper way out.
Gotta luv blogger for this post. Appropriate timing with the current tv news.
Every time I here on this, it is usually the same. At long last someone has presented a unique and important point of view.
I was doing personal laser applications for more than a year now on my facial hair. Before then I had a really thick dark beard. I'm happy about the results. The actual hairs have become thin and I haven't gone back for re-application in roughly 6 months. For certain i will point out that it did hurt just a bit on my top lip and there had been times where I got a bit of redness on my face. I suggest Ipl to those with thick hairs or have got large patches of hair they really want to get rid of. For the men that want to do their own tough beard be prepard for spots within the following several weeks and lots of people saying man what is up with your beard.
I kicked the habit 3 days ago and it really is starting to hit me today. My better half keeps telling me I will not be able to complete it however I'm so strong of this I can't fail. recently I began getting discomfort inside my belly and I really want to have a drag. I can't give into the craving because I am doing this for my children. I am grateful to have the electronic cigarettes. It has been extremely helpful if you ask me.
While wanting to kick the habit, I came upon the electric cigarette. The e cigs uses a nicotine liquid that is made up of only nicotine. No cancerous substances at all. They've virtually made all the difference. No longer breathing in cancerous substances feels completely fantastic to me!
While seeking to get off cancer sticks, I came across the electronic cigarette. The smokeless cigarettes uses a nicotine mixture which holds nothing but nicotine. Basically no poisons in the slightest. They've basically changed my life. No more breathing toxic substances feels fabulous to me!
In the past I used waxing to remove my unwanted hair however it was so uncomfortable that I wanted to find something else. I gave electrolysis a try and it performed fair but was in a way expensive. So I used a few weeks researching the no no laser. I actually bought the sensepil and ended up being really pleased with the results. It offered me permanent hair removal at an affordable price. I sincerely recommend it to everyone as opposed to sugaring.
I used to be initially treated with Intense pulsed light that isn't the most practical method to get hair removal. I started with complete arm hair removal. I visited a great Doctor that used a powerful early model laser beam unit but ended up with having uneven areas. After that I chose to buy a home laser hair. I'm delighted and will be starting different areas of my body soon. The costs as well fit my budget allowed which is really a substantial perk.

"I was depressed. Why you crying?"
"Because you are a beautiful person, and my family is really messed up, and I've been very depressed. I think I can understand you."
"Yes, I am a good person. And when you take people's pictures, don't disrespect them."
"No, man, I won't. I like people. That's why I take their pictures."
"And when you make your portfolio, don't denigrate people. Let the pictures speak for themselves."
"I will. Are you safe on the streets?"
"Yes, I am…And now I have $8 to buy me some food."
"That's all I have. Next time I see you, I will give you more."
"No, man. It ain't all about money. Give me a hug. And next time you see me, give me a hug again. And thanks for taking my picture."

Roundup: Stylish Ideas for Displaying Family Photos
The first time we heard the debate over displaying family photos, it struck us as a bit odd. We all have families, childhood memories, people we love, so why not have pictures of them in our home. But then we thought about homes where family photos are so much the focus, that it becomes a little awkward. You know, where nearly every wall bares photos of the couple kissing or a new baby posed in various cutesy outfits. Lately we've been on the look out for interesting and beautiful ideas for balancing sentiment and style when it comes to hanging family photos. Here are a few of our finds...
Most collections, family pictures included, look most purposeful and have the biggest impact when grouped.
For instructions on how to group large collections of framed photos, check out Martha Stewart's tip here, or Hp's extensive idea list here.
Lining the stairwell.
In my friend Ruth's family home, black and white pictures in small black frames pick up on bold the black and white tiles in the foyer below.
Small pictures in generous mats and uniform white frames preserve an overall feeling of crisp order even while displaying an abundant collection of pictures.
Staircases also make a great backdrop for people who like the laid back look of a casual, un-stylized photo grouping.
Gallery Style in hallways.
Hallways, like stairwells, are perfect places for large displays because they're often unused expanses of wallspace free from competing furniture, making them ideal for large collections of framed photos.
Neatly over the bed.
We like a good dose of order, especially to preserve a sense of calm in our sleep space.
Frameless in Unexpected Places.
Usually people reserve the mantel for more formal displays, but grouping snapshots casually without frames makes the whole room feel less precious.
On the Inside of Doors
For those with limited space, or those who prefer the look of clean walls to clusters of family member's faces, look for unexpected, unused spaces—inside cupboard and closet doors. In our kitchen, we borrowed my mother-in-law's tip for displaying holiday photo cards, wedding pictures, and birth announcements from family and friends.

i like to have some pictures of the people i love around. i picked one small wall and that is my "friends/family/special pictures gallery". i don't want to use more space.. sometimes it is just too much. :)
I think what needs to be kept in mind is: Why?
Why are you displaying these pictures?
Is it a few cherished, candid shots to remind you of some great times, or funny pictures that may bring to mind a story or show the progression of growth of the kids?
Or........is it simply to show off how magnificent, thrilling and beautiful YOU think your family is? Guess what.....
I like to have family photos around my apartment, but I rotate them so that they aren't all out on display at once, and looking cluttered.
But it's my house, stt64. Of course I think my family is magnificent, thrilling, and beautiful (and I don't even have kids). I take a lot of photos, and I'd rather have the pictures hanging on the walls than sitting in shoeboxes or filling up hard drives.
Why not? It's my house, where I live, and I like to see pictures of the people I love the walls.
I actually don't have any family photos on my walls but I have to say I don't really get the sarcasm here. What's wrong with thinking your family is magnificent, thrilling and beautiful and displaying lots of pictures of them WITHIN YOUR OWN HOME?
I like these ideas - I would love to do a stairway display but our only stairway is an entry stairway up to the apartment... would that be weird?
I like most of the galleries here, except the hallway gallery. I have a long dark hallway in my house, but I think that it would feel oppressive to line it with pictures like in that photo. It makes the hallway feel even narrower than it is.
I've had a hard time deciding how to make my hallway feel lighter and wider, but I don't think that dozens of large photos is the way to do it.
I too find this debate odd. It's YOUR house, display what you want in whatever fashion you choose. Although I've visited plenty of homes with design schemes that contrast with mine, who am I to be miffed by someone else's design prerogative? So what if a homeowner has a room upon room of family picture walls. It's not my house and I don't find it showy in the least because I don't really care what someone else does in their home. Even if you do find it showy, who cares? It's still not your house.
If it bothers you that much, leave.
aabbbiee, robinm: agreed.
"Or........is it simply to show off how magnificent, thrilling and beautiful YOU think your family is? Guess what....."
really?...what an odd thing to think that anyone would have to justify thinking that your family is magnificent, beautiful and interesting enough to display pictures of them in your own home. Do you choose all your decor based on what total strangers will like and think is interesting?
Wow... I have a single wall completely dedicated to framed, matted photos. Frankly, only a few are black & whites of people/family members - most are from my travels around the world. But what's the difference between buying crappy fat french chef wall decor and deciding to decorate your home with things that are important to you? Last time I checked, I'm not running a museum here. I surround myself with things that are functional and that please me. I don't have time, nor do I want to sift through boxes of photographs when I want to remember a particular moment - those moments are available to me when I walk around the corner in my living room. I shouldn't have to apologize to anyone for that.
What a strange comment, stt64...
My family *is* magnificent, thrilling and beautiful...and you can add funny, fabulous, super duper, and fan-frigging-tastic to the list. I love my family more than my house and career combined & I want to be reminded of how lucky I am. I don't really care if anyone else thinks my family is great - but damn it, they're pretty special to me. :-)
I agree with stt64. I don't mind a photograph or two but clusters of photographs seem odd to me. You can cherish and honor your family without having dozens of photographs.
This reminds of of a line from the Breakfast Club: "I don't think the kind of friends I have would mind."
I have had them grouped in galleries and themed: In a 1950 black and white kitchen with a crappy (rusted) fridge, I used black and white pictures in little clear plastic frames, mainly with funny childhood and sports related pictures. In the same 1950 house, had black and white old vintage ancestral pictures in a hallway, all in vintage gold frames.
In my modern, high ceilinged condo, I have pictures I took of buildings in Europe grouped, in similar frames, in the dining room. Also have some pictures of a trip to France near our wine bar.
I think pictures like anything and look better grouped and themed. I've heard some people think they are tacky in the living room, then have their fridge covered with them. A matter of preference, but I did always think my friends whose parents had all of their school pictures over every surface of their living room were kind of embarassing.
LOL, wow, I didn't mean to elicit such a strong negative response! Completely misunderstood, but that's ok, things in writing are often and easily misunderstood. There is no tone or clue of intent by the writer.
Of course, display and share photos of your loved ones, including pets and all, that is a wonderful thing to be able to do.
I've had some experiences where I've felt manipulated to comment on some very in your face items in peoples homes which fall into a category of what I refer to as "I'm better than you". Things that people display for comments to feed their egos. Personally it makes me uncomfortable and my opinion is it more appropriate in the homes private spaces.
In other words, a photo of Grandma at Thanksgiving in front of a lavish meal is something to be cherished for all to see and remember. A picture of your 10 year old getting out of a Lear Jet in St. Barts carrying a Louis Vuitton bag, not so special a moment and clearly meant to give the viewer a certain feeling.
That's all. Not harm meant. Then again, being my opinion I'm entitled to it, attack as you will. I can take it.
I personally think only one wall should have family photos. Otherwise it starts to look a little narcissistic, like the person who has a gazillion photos on facebook or myspace.
I always figured people who put only hung family photos are not very creative. It's very "safe" if you ask me and in comparison to the cost of collecting original art pieces, it's cheap also. My mother in law has a ton of family photos around in dollar store frames and it's super gag-o-matic. But whatever, she's not into her home and decor obviously. I do like the first to third examples above. All of those layouts have artistic qualities.
How wonderful to be surrounded by images and memories of your life and your family. I can't think of anything that says "home" more than that.
stt64: although no one should make you feel as if you have to comment on photos of loved ones, it seems like the real problem is the rude behavior of your friends/acquaintances, and not the actual pictures themselves, no?
tifacola stated: "My mother in law has a ton of family photos around in dollar store frames and it's super gag-o-matic. But whatever, she's not into her home and decor obviously."
so what if the mother-in-law isn't "into her home" when she is clearly "into her family"? perhaps for this woman, a strong sense of family trumps design aesthetic?
what a trippy set of comments.
I have a few family photos throughout my home, and they're all grouped with art and other meaningful artifacts. I prefer that to having a dedicated area for family photos.
Yes, J i, exactly.
Nail hit on head!
Frankly, I think anyone who has a problem with someone displaying family photos in their own home either A) Is overly consumed with homes as "showpieces" or B) Has a damn ugly family themselves.
I like to see people's family and friends photos displayed when I visit their homes. Some are displayed better than others but if the love is there it does not matter.
I personally do not like most of my family so I would rather have a gallery wall of my dog and former dogs and friends but I am just too rigid to make it look interesting.
I do like it when there is some art or sketches mixed in like the first picture.
this is just the old christmas letter debate rehashed... how dare you love and cherish your family if it doesn't fit the design aesthetic i have selected for you. i think its pretty self centered to think people should select what they hang on their own walls based on how guests may feel about the handbag little bitsy was carrying in the photo
I don't understand why there's any controversy over displaying pictures of your family, friends, etc. in your own home. Where else should they be displayed?
These are very helpful ideas for display. I think the problem with family portrait galleries is that most people don't try to get interesting shots to begin with, and then slap them haphazardly into cheap frames.
Why not give your loved ones' images the same treatment you'd give a piece of art? Get nice frames, mat them and display them artfully so that they end up drawing attention rather than blending into generic wall o' photos chaos.
I have to say there is something about the giant display of school photos from the 60's, 70's, and 80's with those goofy hairdo's and unflattering plastic eyeglasses displayed on cheap panelling over a nice plush orangey wall to wall carpet that brings me back to the rec rooms of yore and all that took place there. (all the formative wonderful and icky and awkward things of early adolescence) The person displaying them is clearly more interested in the people in the photos than any outsider can be, but the apparent lack of interest in aesthetics adds to the sense that something deeper is going on. That in fact, parents love their children more than anyone else can understand. Which leads me to people color coding their books...why why why? Although my parents did arrange me and my brothers in size order in some family photos...
great ideas shown here!
my wife and i are both photographers with two kiddos...needless to say, we have a gabillion pictures of our family and travels!!! picking our absolute favorites to make big framed or canvas prints can be so daunting so we came up with a fun use for magnet boards as displays in areas of our home. we love being able to constantly switch in and out our favorite pictures WAY more often that we would with framed prints :) check out our magnet board solution here!
My Mom has pictures of all of us, and relatives too sprinkled throughout her house and some of them ARE themed, such as in the bathroom, she has pics of us in swimming pools or in the ocean etc, in the kitchen are some additional photos, not in any grouping or theme but of one lanky 13 YO goofy looking kid holding onto a stick w/ the dog hanging on for he would not let go (it was a game) - and that kid? Me, taken around the late 70's at the beach, a fantastic photo of my youngest sister in a contemplative pose, looking up in a deep red sweater at our favorite picinic spot at Mt Rainier, taken some 18 years ago and some images of grand kids in more recent years in the living room.
I have a few family photos, not too many sprinkled around the main living/dining room of my place and one b&w photo is my Mom at 14 and is a small school photo in a nice dark green frame and one image of my middle sister and I that was photocopied from the original color photo in b&w and she hand colored it in w/ colored pencils and frames as a Christmas gift about 15 years ago and a B&W photo of my best friend and his wife when they were married in 1994, but the way they were and how it was shot, it looked like something out of the 50's.
Otherwise I don't plaster every surface w/ pics of family. I like to have variety of subjects on my walls, including art.
Great thread of comments. I loved stt64's comment--the 2nd one that is because he/she came back (not attacking) to explain the orig post.
This is what good discussion should be about. I dont agree with stt4 but I like and defend their right to hate that we love our family pictures. Stt4, what do you hang on your walls or arrange on your bookshelves? How do you remember special places and people? Thanks, in advance for sharing.
the groupings are nice but doesn't make much sense if some pictures are too high up for anyone to see clearly.
I like the ideas for placing family photographes, but allmost all the pictures you show are just too full for my taste. There are so many pictures up on the wall, how about just a hand full of your closest relatives instead of a whole hall way plastered with pictures.
Hello Peter K, and thanks for your support. Picture me covered with bandaids from yesterdays discussion. It's ok, I'm tough.
I have in the past had surfaces with many framed photographs for my own personal remembrances. It seemed the more I had out the less important each was. I put most away, and I rotate now and again as I think of someone or a certain place. They are there for me when I need them.
Was a time I had pictures I had taken of Paris and Hong Kong out. I discovered through a little self examination, they were more to show off I had been there than for me to remember. I put them away.
I've had a very old "black and white" picture of bath time at age 3 up in my bathroom. I would enjoy seeing it as I exited the shower. I've taken it down and am looking forward to missing it so it will again have the meaning it did when I first put it up.
On my walls now, not that much, some art, paintings, this I rotate as well, many items in storage.
I like to mix etsy prints, travel photos and candid family photos. I don't mind going into a home with a million family photos plastered on the wall. It's their home, they can do what they want, imho.
I like the look of the photos hung in a grid, but if they weren't always perfectly straight, it would drive me crazy!
I love the white frames and mats, and I love the chock-a-block over-the-daybed arrangement. The mantel? If you can't actually get close enough to those top ones to look at them, then I think they're kind of wasted, even though the pattern should seem nice. I just don't think it ends up as quite a rousing success.
I think that if the photos don't end up really presented well, then it's kind of an insult to the people in the photos.
Does anybody know if the 24 photo frame pictured above the bed is one frame? If so, do you know where it is available to buy?
I don't get why people have to have photos of everyone they know up on display. Just not crazy about how it looks. I prefer to decorate with artwork myself.
I have a feeling you would all hate my mother's beach house. in the dining room there is a large wall that spans "life on the front steps" from 1970 to the present. every summer my mother would line us up on the front porch and take a family photo. the rules are simple, no parents and no dates. the "no parents" rule came about because my mom wanted the photos to continue on even after they were gone and the "no dates" is because of my fighter pilot brother's active social life! LOL
after dating my hubs for 7 years he was beyond overjoyed to finally be able to be "in" the photo. it's a pretty funny annual event, even the neighbors come out to watch. we went from a group of 6 with a dog to sometimes 30 people all crammed onto the front porch. there have been numerous dogs, cats hamsters even a guinea pig or two.
she takes the picture with whatever camera has film, often they are disposable ones from a not to recent wedding she'd been too. 1998 has her thumb in it.
the photos are then put into any frame my mom might have around at the time and the date inscribed in black sharpie on the front. it is the worst assemblage of photos, crooked, out of focus, poor lighting etc but it is always the first thing people comment on and talk about after they've left. it is the most memorable part of the beach house.
I do believe what makes it so successful and memorable is they are confined (crammed onto) to one wall. (that and the hairstyles of the 80's!)
so when it comes to family photos I don't think it matters how they are displayed but what the photograph means to you. the memories are priceless.
I have one friend who keeps a Polaroid camera full of film handy. When she has a party or group of friends over, you get your photo taken with whoever you showed up with, or whoever happens to be in the same room. These have all been lined up around the molding in the kitchen (I don't know what the technical term is - it's basically a high chair rail - about 4 feet off the ground). It's so fun to see who's been there, who was dating who at the time, and who's been there since the last time! I did the same thing at a party, these are taped up around the doorjamb to my kitchen. Had everyone scrawl their names in Sharpie around the white edge, and it's a conversation piece and happily reminds me of a great party. If Polaroid film wasn't so darned expensive, I'd do it for every party!
larchgirl, that is beautiful! I'm going to do that with my kids. I can only imagine how nice it is to see those photos every summer. (Yes, I am the sentimental type...)
that photo I think is from domino. It was a whole bunch of small frames duct taped together at the back and hung as one piece.
I wonder if there is a solution to that Domino photo that is a single frame, and that enables easy photo switching. I would buy several of them.
I also love the pillow in that pictures - does anyone know where that's from?
I have one friends and family photo wall, and the frames are all different sizes, color and b&w, but they are unified through all black frames with all white mats (and I'll admit it, many of those frames are from ikea, but they look good and are inexpensive and fit our contemporary style).
The photo wall is in the kitchen, which I think is the most appropriate place for them (at least in our home). That's where everyone who we love the most congregates while we cook or prep for parties or share drinks, and that's where every good party ends up. Our friends and family love to reminisce about the events and people in the pictures. The artwork is everywhere else in the house - there's none in the kitchen (no fat chefs, LOL).
My family is magnificent, thrilling, and beautiful...to me! (:
I have family pictures up everywhere- some from when we were kids and some that are from last year's vacation. They make me happy when I look at them, so why not?
I also invest in art and artistic photography. Above my bed I have four large photos done by someone in Charleston, SC. Under my window (basement bedroom) the wall is dedicated to postcards, family pictures, and other various items. Not everyone would like it...but I love the way it looks.
Whether or not someone has art or people (or both) on their walls - I like to see it!! Probably because I'm nosey and like to find out more about a person. I find family photos always rounds out my impression of someone...(for example, a friend's mom had a cheesy photo of him holding a violin when he was 12....I had no idea he played).
Since I'm one that prefers art (or at least artistic or vintage/older photos) versus the school-photo-with-tacky-background-and-garish-photo-quality, or sweaty people squinting in the sun at the theme park photos, in terms of displaying, I'd like to buy small canvasses and have my friends and family either draw something to their liking, or self portraits in palates that enhance my decor. I think it's even more personal than their photo (not to mention not all people are flattered by having their photo in other people's homes). There are photos of me my grandmother has displayed that I wish I could anonymously destroy and not go to hell. Including one that I took of myself making "sexyface" when I was 21 for my boyfriend at the time-bedroom eyes, tousled hair, pouting, slightly parted lips-Somehow my family got a hold of a copy and now it is blown up, hanging in the dining room because it looks "so pretty", oblivious to the seductress intent behind it. So, yes, I would love for that to be hidden inside of a cabinet, behind the fridge.
I can understand both sides of the argument- I don't find it an issue to display pictures of your loved ones throughout your home, HOWEVER, if you've ever encountered a 2,000 sq. ft. home that literally has every wall COVERED, well- that's another story. My boss has 6 children, and there is not one wall that doesn't have them covered (and sometimes the pictures are blown up to cover entire walls- huge.) and that's when it becomes tacky. Sure, you think your kids are great, but looking at them constantly on your walls is exhausting for others.
Heh heh. Did you ever see that scene in While You Were Sleeping where Sandra Bullock is in the apartment of the guy she's in love with but never officially met? He's got framed photos all over his apartment of himself. Completely narcissistic.
Anyway, I think family photos are okay, but most of the time people can't pull off the execution. Most people are really sloppy with how they display family photos. Why is it that you'll put thousands into your house to make it look good but when it comes to casual photos, there is no regard for it being a good photo or not or for looking at how it's framed and the relationship between this framed photo and others?
I personally prefer not to display family photos except in one small personal area. Guests also get offended if their photo is not one of the displayed ones. And I don't want to defend what I put up. So much hassle!
My grandma has a staircase full of family pictures. Only formal ones that grandkids and families give her + wedding pictures. Looking at it now, it's sorta tacky looking, but I'm so glad she has it! It was my very favorite thing to do at her house...just spend hours on the stair case looking at my relatives. I still love to and get excited when we get new pictures on the wall there.
You, stt64, would never be allowed in my home. MY house is not on display for stuffy boring people like you. MY house is for me, my husband and my kids and if we like looking at family photos then so be it. If people walk into my home and walk out talking about me then you are not the type of people ANYONE should have in their lives.

The quick Command+Option+Esc keyboard shortcut gives you access to a list of running apps and lets you force-quit the if necessary. You can force-quit several apps as well, or use this as a quick app switcher. There are also other ways to force-quit apps, though in normal use you should always try to quit an app normally.
Hi this is Gary with MacMost Now. On today's episode I'm going to show you how to use Command/Option/Escape.
One question I often get from people who have recently switched from Windows to Mac is how do you do the equivalent to Control/Alt/Delete. This is the famous command that is used on Windows and other computers that allows you to force quit an application. There is other similar commands like it that will bring up a list of apps that are currently running.
You can do the same thing on the Mac. The command sequence is Command/Option/Escape. These are all on the left side of the keyboard and you can hold down Command and Option with your thumb and then with your middle finger just tap Escape.
So let's take a look at what happens when I do this. I'm going to hold down Command and Option and hit Escape. I get this box here that says Force Quit Applications. I can scroll through the list and see what apps I'm currently running. I can select one and hit Force Quit.
Now even if you are familiar with this you may not know there are a few other things you can do. For instance, you can double click on any app there and it will bring it to the front and show it to you or bring you to the space if you are using mission control. So you can use it as kind of an application switcher.
You can also select multiple applications. For instance if I select one, like Pages, and I say Force Quit I will get asked if I want to quit Pages. I can hold the Command key down and select several or hold the Shift key down and select a range, hit Force Quit and it will allow me to quit the three selected applications.
Now also you can see here that all of the names of the applications are in black. If an application was misbehaving and the operating system detected that it would appear in red and actually give you a message next to it. So if you suspect, say you are running a bunch of applications and things are getting slow something may not be working correctly, you hit Command/Option/Escape you can go through the list and see if you have warnings next to any of these apps. That can give you a clue to what is going wrong. Then you can select the app and force it to quit.
Of course in normal day to day use you should never have to use the Command/Option/Escape and force quit something. You should be able to go to its regular menu item and quit. Even if you suspect that it is not working correctly and you feel that you are going to have to force quit it make sure you try this first because of course this will quit gracefully meaning that the app is going to stop certain things that it is doing, save data, save preferences, all of that.
Force quitting is always a little dangerous and should always be the last resort.
Now another thing you can do if you just want to quit the application that is currently running or you know exactly what you want to force quit you can go down here to the dock, and say I want to quit TextEdit. You go to Control, you hold the Control key down and click, or do a two finger click on the track pad, whatever your secondary click of preference is, and you see there is Quit here at the bottom. This is a really quick way. It is a substitute for going up to the menu here and using Quit.
But if you hold down the Option key you can see that it changes to Force Quit. So you can use the Dock to force quit a single app. You can actually use the Menu to do this as well. Of course you have the regular Quit here as well but under the Apple menu here you've got the actual command for Force Quit (Command/Option/Escape). Here is the actual menu choice. So you can use this instead of the keyboard shortcut.
If you hold down the Shift key then the front most running app will appear and you can Force Quit TextEdit right here. You can see that the actual keyboard command for that is Option/Shift/Command/Escape.
But in practice I found that Command/Option/Shift/Escape to quit the currently running app doesn't actually work. Every time I try it it doesn't seem to happen. So you have to use that Menu item instead.
There are other ways to collapse as well. Using the terminal, using the activity monitor. But the main thing to get here is to be to use Command/Option/Escape when something happens. When a third party app isn't behaving properly and you can't quit it. It is a quick and easy way to find out what is going wrong and solve the problem at the same time.
Hope you found this useful. Until next time this is Gary with MacMost Now.

Albany - Albany commissioners won't support a resolution recognizing April as Confederate History Month. The Albany chapter of the Sons of the Confederacy asked city commissioners to proclaim the month, but commissioners voted four to two not to pass an official resolution.
Commissioner Tommy Postell said many people associate Confederacy organization with the KKK, and the city should be hesitant to acknowledge Confederate History Month. But supporters told commissioners last week confederate history is not about slavery, racism and bigotry.

I think part of the issue with judging the Raid Finder based on the PTR is that the PTR environment really is an entirely different kettle of fish than the live servers. Obviously there are plenty of shitheads who make people's lives hell on live, but the sheer number of trolls on the PTR can't be overstated. Nor can the sheer depths of their obnoxiousness. Half of them don't even have active subs, or play on private servers. There's no consequences whatsoever because GMs rarely step in except in the most extreme circumstances. The PTR is like the spawn of /b/, to be quite honest.
Then, in addition to the CHUDs, you have people who aren't necessarily assholes but are just there for free epics and don't know about anything. They may not even be level capped on live in that class, or at all. People who know what they're doing and actually are there to try things out and test them tend to be a distinct minority, in my experience.
So, while I am totally apprehensive about Raid Finder and probably won't use it, I think writing it off entirely based solely on the PTR experience is kind of premature.
