Plot Summary: Nobita Nobi is so hapless that his 22nd century decendants are still impoverished as a result of his 20th century bumbling. In a bid to raise their social status, their servant, a robotic cat named Doraemon, decides to travel back in time and guide Nobita on the proper path to fortune. Unfortunately Doraemon, a dysfunctional robot that the familly acquired by accident (but chose to keep nonetheless), isn't much better off than Nobita. The robot leads Nobita on many adventures, and while Nobita's life certainly is more exciting with the robot cat from the future, it is questionable if it is in fact better in the way that Doraemon planned.

AFTERBURN REPORT 2001Database Team
The Database Team is a small group of Burning Man volunteers who build and
maintain the databases necessary to keep Burning Man's data organized
and flowing. Our job is to make the Burning Man staff's life easier. The
team has been together since late 1999, and is currently organized as
a "domain" under the Burning Man Tech Team.
Our databases support a number of internal Burning Man departments. These databases include:
- Contacts- Participant mailing list database - 45,000+ names from 50 states and countries
- Sales- Merchandise and ticket order processing - almost 40,000 invoices
- Volunteers- Volunteer questionnaire, roster, and team management
- Theme Camp/Art- Theme Camp, Art Installation, Pyro, and Theme Art registration
- *Media- Media "Press Here" online registration and tracking
- *Scholarships- Burning Man's Scholarship application repository
- *PlayaInfo Schedule- On-line scheduler for PlayaInfo shifts for the event
- *DMV- Department of Mutant Vehicles - online pre-registration
- *Snailmail- Participant snailmail change-of-address web form
- Task Matrix- Online Tech Team to-do list
- Agenda Builder- Staff meeting agenda organizer
Some of our work in 2001 included: programmed Flambé and Survival Guide mailing list exports, revisions to the theme camp and art installation questionnaires, integration with the PlayaNet/ PlayaDirectory project, VPN work for remote database access, playa Palm Pilot database access, integration work with the Extranet project, improved user interface for the Contacts and Sales databases, participant list de-dupe automation, new "Short Form" Theme Camp questionnaire for unmapped camps, work to coordinate the new Black Rock Arts Foundation mailing list database and contact management with our existing files, improved automatic database backups, preliminary work to allow participant editing of their theme camp and art installation registration, work to allow volunteers to change their contact info in the Volunteers database, discussions on several strategies for remote Volunteer Coordinator database access, several Volunteer Coordinator training sessions on the Volunteers DB, and routine database administration.
Looking forward in the coming year, the Database Group has several goals:
- Database Migration (see below)
- Completion of a Login feature for participant editing of contact info, theme camp, etc.
- Support of the Extranet and PlayaDirectory teams' data needs
- Continued refinement of online web forms (Theme Camp, Volunteers, Scholarship, etc.)
- Further improvements in data import and easy mailing list exports
- Possible addition of inventory tracking and sales reporting to existing databases
- Better database documentation and procedures for staff and future volunteers
Much like the settlers of the old West, we have grown weary of our comfortable but cramped life, and yearn for the greener pastures of the new frontier. All of the databases described above are running happily in FileMaker, but there is a constant pressure to migrate them to a more robust, industry-standard platform. Several Burning Man programmers have been recommending some flavor of SQL. The Extranet team has settled on PostgreSQL. The biggest immediate benefit will be the ability to access our data from outside the office more easily (i.e. by web browser instead of FileMaker running slowly over the VPN). This is a huge undertaking. The first steps are to catalog our existing FileMaker databases, diagram what they store and how they overlap (architecture), and prioritize which files to migrate first. The diagram below gives a sense of the big picture.

David Keith Cobb (born December 24, 1962 in San Leon, Texas) is an American activist and was the 2004 presidential candidate of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS).
After working as a crewman on a Gulf Coast shrimp boat, a construction worker and a waiter, Cobb graduated from the University of Houston Law School in 1993 and for several years maintained a successful private practice as an attorney in Houston, Texas. During the 1980s, Cobb had campaigned for the Democratic presidential candidacies of Jesse Jackson and Jerry Brown. As a result of his experiences, however, Cobb became disenchanted with the Democratic Party and declined to campaign for them any further. Instead, he turned his activism to the issues of democracy and corporations, appearing at lectures, seminars, and workshops throughout the U.S. with various citizens' groups to promote his view that corporations have become unelected governing institutions and that a nonviolent democratic revolution is needed in response.

Finally, a rant about this idiot

"i'd slap my wife to keep her in line if needed" isn't a violent act toward a women? I bet while you're working 12 hour shifts and she's sitting at home, she's getting fucked by a black guy.
Honestly, does this make you feel like you're the "man of the house" as you claimed? You work 12 hour shifts, your wife sits at home and does nothing and you slap her if she disobeys you, and your son is probably going to grow up being a loner because of his abusive daddy. This isn't even mentioning the first day he says something wrong to a black or mexican person and he get's sent to the hospital.
I know you probably think that your wife has "no problem" with this, but she's probably scared shitless of you and trying to protect her son from the same abuse daddy gives her. I also laughed that you used a quote from 1965 to try and justify your actions, times have changed. I'm not surprised by this though, your family has had issues (at least , judging by your statements in that thread) and this is just another example. Hopefully your son doesn't grow up the same way as you. Here's some more gems from this guy

I mean, here's a profile of Warren
Cares more about Dean Malenko instead of realizing it isn't 1965 anymore
A very skinny man, so if a black or mexican or gay guy confronted him he'd piss himself or lie about his views
Open to slap his wife
Grandmother shot herself due to his grandfather being...you guessed it, abusive!
This really isn't shocking though, considering Warren Zevon was noted for his verbal abuse toward women, drug abuse, and allegedly abusing his ex wife as well. Sometimes, you pick bad role models.
It's surprising that his GOAT is Malenko and he also likes Benoit, considering some of their best friends were mexican.

Why is it that the areas with the highest black unemployment, poverty rates, and crime rates are almost exclusively run and have been run by Democrats?
I think Walter Williams nailed it with: "The Welfare State accomplished in less than 40 years what two centuries of slavery and a century and a half of Jim Crow could not do: Disintegrate the black family."
I scream internally with rage every time I see that quote. It is one of the most staggeringly, hair-ripping, the-world-is-flatignorant quotes I have ever read in my entire life. It is said by someone who has not read a modicum of black history (or history in general) and therefore someone peddling it as a rhetorical talking point against Democrats than someone who gives two rats' asses about black people. I literally do not understand how someone managed to get through an elementary school or at least middle school education and say this in good faith. I've said it before and will continue to say it again: Fuck our public education system.
Have you ever wondered where the African-American cultural tradition of calling each other "sister" or "brother" came from?
It came from the fact that during slavery, families were torn apart with such common and expected frequency that they formed casual "families" within networks of slaves.
"African Americans have viewed their families in terms of kin networks. These kin networks formed the social basis of African-American communities. Slaves were often forcefully removed from their families. They adapted to their circumstances by creating family units with other slaves with whom they lived and worked. Slaves conferred the status of kin on non-blood relations, addressing each other as brother, sister, aunt, or uncle."
It's okay if you didn't know where this tradition originated from. But I have no fucking idea how you don't know that family members were casually separated on a frequent basis and not in nuclear units (as if their owners would give a shit about keeping them together). This is one of the most highlighted features of American slavery. And I'm not even getting to slave reproductive history, where the woman were forced to mate like brood animals, literally. They rarely exercised the right to choose their own partner. They were trundled together with other male slaves and expected to reproduce for the slave owner's benefit. And of course, the marriage between a male slave and a female slave was hardly a bond to be considered sacred by their owners. (Wouldn't you at least know this from watching Django Unchained, or something?) They barely had the time or resources to care for their babies on top of the continued grueling field work, and consequently lost children from abysmal conditions. (If the children weren't sold off, of course.) Not to mention the good ol' rape and sexual assault and other forms of sexual and reproductive coercion. American in general doesn't have a good history when it comes to wombs, but when it comes to black women's wombs and bodies in particular, it really takes the cake. But I digress. The TL; DR takeaway: Trying to keep a family together in slavery was like trying to roast a turkey in an Easy-Bake. Get that into your head, or whatever it is that sits on your shoulders.
And of course, it's not like the current welfare of black people has anything to do with the fact they were enslaved for hundreds of years and then denied equal opportunity for another hundred years, and face persisting discrimination and institutionalized racism to this day. It's in spite of the fact that slavery was such an excellent situation for them. Like, in Gone With the Wind. Or something.
I wish this son of a bitch was an anomaly, but this counter "slavery-was-actually-good-for-black-people" myth has taken alarming hold among Tea Party Republicans in recent years and I know that these dumbasses are in the minority but still oh my god I can't even. Fucking people.

Things that make me laugh at 10 in the morning. David Javerbaum is officially the cleverest person in the universe.
Thomas Jefferson, 1816.
You can learn the most interesting things about history. From what I can gauge from my recent history class readings, Thomas Jefferson absolutely despised the financial industry and had serious misgivings about capitalism. Republicans and Tea Partiers would totally call Thomas Jefferson a dirty socialist if he was around today.
Oh, and Thomas Paine, too. People should really read what that guy had to say about property redistribution and mandatory government aid. The stuff of capitalist nightmares, I tell you.
GOP presidential contender Rick Perry, misstating the U.S. voting age, which is 18. (via officialssay)
His team must be DYING.
(via breanieswordvomit)
There is nothing unusual about Governor Rick Perry. Uneducated fools can be found in every country and every period of history, and they are not unknown in high office. What is unusual about today's Republican party (I disavow the ridiculous 'GOP' nickname, because the party of Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt has lately forfeited all claim to be considered 'grand') is this: In any other party and in any other country, an individual may occasionally rise to the top in spite of being an uneducated ignoramus. In today's Republican Party 'in spite of' is not the phrase we need. Ignorance and lack of education are positive qualifications, bordering on obligatory. Intellect, knowledge and linguistic mastery are mistrusted by Republican voters, who, when choosing a president, would apparently prefer someone like themselves over someone actually qualified for the job.
…The population of the United States is more than 300 million and it includes some of the best and brightest that the human species has to offer, probably more so than any other country in the world. There is surely something wrong with a system for choosing a leader when, given a pool of such talent and a process that occupies more than a year and consumes billions of dollars, what rises to the top of the heap is George W Bush. Or when the likes of Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin can be mentioned as even remote possibilities.
…a politician's attitude to evolution, however peripheral it might seem, is a surprisingly apposite litmus test of more general inadequacy. This is because unlike, say, string theory where scientific opinion is genuinely divided, there is about the fact of evolution no doubt at all. Evolution is a fact, as securely established as any in science, and he who denies it betrays woeful ignorance and lack of education, which likely extends to other fields as well. Evolution is not some recondite backwater of science, ignorance of which would be pardonable. It is the stunningly simple but elegant explanation of our very existence and the existence of every living creature on the planet. Thanks to Darwin, we now understand why we are here and why we are the way we are. You cannot be ignorant of evolution and be a cultivated and adequate citizen of today.
Mainline: Richard Dawkins Takes on Gov. Rick Perry and the Republican Party
Got into an argument with an old middle school peer who idolizes Bill O'Reilly (wtf, for real, I know). I said that Bill O'Reilly doesn't even know that ocean waves are caused by the moon, and he said, "so what? That doesn't have anything to do with his political opinions" or of the like.
OH. In that moment, I wanted so, so badly to just verbally abuse him with a string of insults like "asshat", "moron", "wouldn't recognize logic if it punched you in the face" and just call it a day.
Politics are influenced by life. Science IS life. Therefore, science influences every single itty-bitty part of our political system, down to the tiniest minute detail. You are CRAZY if you think that science can ever be separated from politics. They are inextricable, more so than anything else on this planet.
So when a person doesn't know basic fifth grade science, then that person isn't qualified to give their opinion on life. That includes the political process. So, to all "political people", please take a biology or environmental science class. Take a sociology class. Take a European history class. Take a Greek philosophy class and actually understand the philosophy of a democracy instead of tossing the word about meaninglessly. Knowledge is not an elitist flaw.
Oh, and after I told him something similar of the sort, he blocked me from his Facebook wall.

When being judged by a jury of your peers, is it necessary that some of those peers be members of your ethnic or racial group? Hold on, white people, I'm not asking you. You might talk tough on the internet, but if you were the defendant in a trial and you walked in and saw the entire Wu-Tang Clan sitting in the jury box you'd have a freaking conniption. And… it would NEVER happen to you. A white person would never have to face an "all-other" jury. Your opinions on how you'd feel about a situation that would never happen to you matters less to me.
For the rest of us, being judged by zero people from your peer racial or ethnic group is a legitimate possibility. Is that fair? Almost certainly not. Is it presumptively unfair? That's kind of a different question. Can we presume that 12 white people can't give a black person a fair trial? Should a judge stop a trial once he sees that a person is about to face a jury devoid of any of her racial peers?

The New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons are meeting up in Atlanta. Before the season, this would have been considered one of the better matchups of the year, but the fall of the Falcons has diminished the hype around the game. Still, the division rivals are not too fond of each other and the Falcons would love nothing more than to upset the Saints. They have the home field advantage in the game and will be looking to pull off the upset.
Where: Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GA
When: November 21, 2013, 8:25 p.m. ET
Watch: NFLN
Live Stream: NFL Sunday Ticket, Game Rewind
Saints Player to Watch: Drew Brees
Drew Brees has been on a tear this season. He has thrown for a touchdown in 14 straight games and has 38 touchdowns total this year. It is good to have Sean Payton back calling the shots. Brees just keeps doing what he normally does and throws the ball out for touchdowns to his receivers.
Falcons Player to Watch: Harry Douglas
With all the injuries to the Atlanta Falcons wide receivers, Harry Douglas has been able to step in and produce for the Falcons. He had 6 receptions for 134 yards and a touchdown last week and is getting a lot of balls thrown in his direction. Look for him to get into the action again on Thursday.
Thursday Night games tend to get a little sloppier than normal and more surprises tend to happen during those games, but I can't see the Falcons pulling off the stunner in this game. The Saints are battling for the division lead and are also hoping to get a BYE in the first round of the playoffs. Saints win this game.
Saints 31, Falcons 17

Rossi liked the new aluminium swingarm when he tested it at Mugello recently, the 33-year-old gaining extra feeling on corner entry with his factory GP12 machine.

Its meerly being objective me old china!
You say Rossi has done very little in the three years.
If we take the last 3 years as being 2010/11/12 then (in 2010) finishing 3rd with 10 x podiums including 2 x race wins is not a bad season. DP's 9 x podiums including 4 wins is also a fair tally - the 8 points advantage DP held at the end of the year really showed who was boss! We can also see that the difference between 2010 and 2011 shows a rapid decline when he entered the ducati fold.
If Hayden is the constant to use as a benchmark for the 'ability' of another rider then surely his race finishes and points tally should be used as a reference. or should we look at his tactic of ride fast for 6 laps, destroy tires, fall back fast? His accumulation of points each season, going from 104 in his first year on the might duke, to 163 and then back to 132 clearly shows the progression of the rider/bike and his usefulness as a constant. However maybe that is the right approach, Rossi is using the slowly slowly catchy monkey approach and all he has caught is er, nothing. At least hayden has more 'camera time'!
DP's alien status must surely be up for grabs, he has maintained it this year simply through lack of depth of field - there are only 3 riders on for race wins and no matter how patriotic one can be, CC-AD-BS ain't in the hunt.
Rossi was the benchmark, then he moved to Ducati and stopped being the benchmark. No shame in that.
If he moves to another (Japanese) team then he will be a benchmark again - I hope for positive reasons and not for the same reasons as Capirex.
It's not living in the past Nostro, it's considering the facts.

..and to drag this pointless pissing contest further along, Hayden is not a benchmark for the ability of another rider...he is a benchmark for the performance of Ducati over the last 4 years. The fact that Stoner was head and shoulders ahead of Hayden AND the customer Ducatis, and the fact that Rossi is not, says it all really.

Nothing to spill blood over. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, but you've misinterpreted me. Rossi was the benchmark for the young guns as they entered the premier class was my line of thought.
You're putting words in my mouth now though BB. Of course Rossi is still a force to be reckoned with. Well for those outside the top three that is. You are aware of course that it is the nature of competitive sport that the bar gets raised constantly? If it wasn't then perhaps Alan Wells would be the world 100m sprint record holder and a Brit could win Wimbledon.
My dislike of all things yellow Chris? Well that's a pretty easy one mate. Rossi and his hubris; his Oompa Loompa acolytes and their stupidity.

Yeah Nostro like I said most reasonable and balanced people. You clearly don't fall into that category.
..that Honda and Yamaha are the best 'all round package' at the moment...but the most decisive factor is that the fast young guns are..wait for it...NOT on a Ducati.
Ducati have based rider choices upon experience and consistency and it's brought nothing but pain. With thier third (or was it fourth) choice rider in Stoner they achieved instant success.
So, change your rider recruitment strategy and get Iannone who has more testosterone than brains.

Oba and out? Not likely if Martins is allowed to live his dream of joining Shearer and Co
Another day, another story linking Oba Martins with a move away from Newcastle.
It might sound like a crazy idea but if you were to actually listen to the man himself in his two years on Tyneside so far, then it would be quite obvious that the only way Martins will leave St James's Park is if the Magpies allow it to happen.
On numerous occasions Martins has at least told this writer he is determined to stay and become a real legend.
At the end of last season he clearly proved how humble he was when he said: "I am not a real legend yet, Shearer is a real legend but I'm not one yet."
Martins isn't stupid and appreciates the power of the number 9 shirt, he knows about the players that have worn it before him and wants to join them.
He'll probably be the first to admit that last season overall the player was below par compared to his first season when he struck 17 goals.
It made last year's tally of 10 seem disappointing but 27 in total in black and white isn't a bad start.
And when you consider that Newcastle's strong (ish) run towards the end of the season featured Martins in fine form alongside Mark Viduka and Michael Owen, if all three are fit then surely KK's front three pick themselves?
Or at least they earned the right due to the late season run in which they re-captured the imagination of the Toon Army.
We know Viduka will start the season with injury trouble but Martins looks likely to be fit for the start of the season.
Viduka's absence could be the chance for Andy Carroll but despite a pretty gloomy summer so far, United aren't short on firepower.
And despite "interest" from Arsenal, Martins' dreams of being a true Toon legend remain intact for now...

I really hope you're right Lee. I'd hate to see Oba leave the Toon. He's a crowd puller and an exciting player on the ball.
IsnâÂÂt it typical, we find a foreigner, who is willing to show loyalty and has untapped ability, that just needs to be desperately brought out, and the manager (Allardyce) wanted to flog him at the earliest opportunity.
IâÂÂve said this before, he WILL beat Alan ShearerâÂÂs record,- IF (And at Newcastle itâÂÂs a big if) he gets developed and sorts his first and second touch out, because we all know what his shots are like, usually thunderbolts from anywhere. I wouldnâÂÂt sell him for ã30m, I love the guy that much, but sadly if a bid were to come in for 12m+ I think this regime would snap hands off.
I still have a mistrust of Mark Viduka, lets call it a question mark over his fitness record, especially when itâÂÂs cold and wet, but I think if we could get someone in to replace him, then we would have a formidable forward line-up, Owen, Martins, player x and Carroll backing them up.
HeâÂÂs only 23 and he will easily be the best part of the Roeder regime to remember, a bit of a contrast between, him and Damien Duff for ã5m eh?
I still hold a doubt over the ambition of this club (Manager apart) as IâÂÂm not entirely sure what money will be involved with player recruitment, but weâÂÂve been linked with 15 year olds, 17 year olds and not much else.
I am absolutely furious beyond belief that weâÂÂve apparently just let John Arne Riise swan off to Roma, without an apparent serious bid, and for what? ã4m? A Champions League winner and the best left back in Premier League history, at 27 years old, with a brilliant left foot and can operate as a winger as well, AND score goals (Not own ones mind) to lose him has really shaken me.
ItâÂÂs obvious we need to take the heat off Steven Taylor this season, to avoid ruining the lad and a centre back with PREMIER LEAGUE experience is vital, how about David Weater at Boroâ or Joseph Yobo at Everton?? Next we need cover for the whole back four, Aaron Hughes for heavens sake?
Next is the problem, an attacking midfielder in the Robert Lee/Gary Speed mould- step forward, Joao Moutinho, sadly he would cost over ã10m, so that would rule him out, heâÂÂd get us a hatful of goals, heâÂÂs like a fit Emre, only better.
Then we need a left winger- assuming DuffâÂÂs finished and NâÂÂZogbiaâÂÂs going to huff off to London, so we should be calling Stewart Downing, heâÂÂs been wasted at Boroâ heâÂÂs a flying winger yet doesnâÂÂt get any freedom to do so. Sadly again, he would cost a bit, so that rules him out. Riise would have been the cheap option, but the club were obviously blind to that as well.
Worrying times lie ahead, not with Keegan in charge, as he will walk if things arenâÂÂt what they seem and so will 52,000.
Yes Lee, I still rather think Martins wil leave only if Newcastle said so, otherwise the No.9 shirt justifies itself. Even Shearer will leave if the club allowed it. I mean, what player could vote himself to stay when told "Not wanted" by managers?
We should be lucky to have sacked Big Sam before he does further damage. Martins was not in his scope and because of him, and not Owen, that Martins became unsettled. Sam cannot see what KK had seen, evident by the three striker formation which totally eluded the fat manager.
I like Martins as much as Owen. I have been supporting them both since Martin's arrival. (Sorry Owen, just I cannot see you before Martins got here.)
We know what Martins is capable of when given the right vision. KK's magic can strike goal if he harnessed the capabilities of Oba Martins. The man's quick, pace with ball, able to skip past players and shoot a thunderbolt into a net. The only thing is that he isnt much trained, and still retain his inability to pass good defenders. KK can sort that out...hopefully.
I see Risse going to Roma, not too much a cry nor a laugh. We can dispense with fools who won't play for Newcastle. I realised to buy good players, we have to give them at least Uefa football, as Luca Modric joined Spurs for the same reason. (You'd dont think Spurs can match Newcastle's potential, do you?)
I like to see Viduka playing but his fitness definately goes down. Its the physical, passing, and heavy-heading striker we want and we just missed out Asthon. Too bad, but seriously a physical player is really needed for the Owen-???-Martins to work. So unless anyone want to see A.Smith in black and white again, we'd better pray that KK can grab a striker.
And to Mike Ashley, we need your purse to be cut open, not otherwise. We need the money...BADLY! I dont want to wait another year for another season. I want to see players in, and bad ones out. But note that even I know, we dont need big names. Arda Turan, remember that name, I think the supporters would want him, no matter the cost.
Save Milner, throw Smith. That's my advice. Barton? I think he deserves another chance, but one more offense and I'll personally lead him out of St. James.
Obafemi HAS to stay. He is lethal and could be the difference next season. We have to cling on to any player that is exciting the interest of the big four; doesn't that show he is real class?
We should just be thrilled that we have him and that he wants to stay with us. We should assure him of how important he is for us and that he won't be sitting on the subs' bench.
Depressingly, if I was Obafemi's friend, I would probably be advising him to leave the uncertainty that is Newcastle United and to go for Arsenal and European football and fantastic coaching from Arsene. Oh dear....
Ryder's reply: It's worth noting that Martins is close pals with Emmanuel Adebayor but with the player linked with a big money move abroad, that could work two ways.
Either Martins will replace his pal after Emmanuel Adebayor hands Wenger a glowing reference or his hopes of a dream partnership with his buddy go up in smoke.
Selling Martins surely shouldn't be an option. The only striker we should be looking to sell/replace is Viduka, purely down to his fitness record if nothing else. If they do sell Oba, then it'll easily cost more than the ã10m we paid for him to bring in a replacement of equal ability. But that's the problem, I can't think of a player with his attributes. He can grab you a goal out of nothing, we should be desperately trying to keep him in our starting eleven, not looking at getting ã12m for him.
I agree with Paul Patterson that losing out on Riise for less than ã4m is disappointing. But (no offence intended, Paul) I still pray we don't go for Downing. Seeing as the sort of price for Downing and the price for Arda Turan will be comparable, it has to be Arda from where I sit. It's really frustrating that we could've tied this up for ã12-13m before the start of Euro 2008, but trying to skimp and putting ã8m on the table has now allowed him to shine, and I'd be surprised if the asking price hasn't gone from ã13m to at least ã15m, not to mention the competition we'll now face from, let's be honest, more attractive clubs at this moment in time.
One thing's for sure though, we're in for a difficult enough time signing the players we need to fill the holes in our squad without creating more holes to fill.
Well said Paul Patterson I couldn't agree more...I can quite clearly see what Ashley is up to and it will hack fans off no end. He will continue to buy young talent for 250k etc. the coaches will bring them on....maybe 1 in 4 will make the grade, they then sell him to a bigger club for a fine profit and then start again and so the vicious circle continues. Ashley continues to cream off extra profit and rip fans off. I wouldn't be a season ticket holder with Ashley in charge, you will get no value for money, but one thing you will get is mighty frustrated!
NCLE UTD is more than just a business Ashley and your customers (season ticket holders) deserve a decent and fair return. Where will your business be without good loyal customers?
I hope the fans boo him out of the ground and club when the season starts
Ryder's reply: But surely you can't boo if the club are in the top six come the end of September? Fans frustrations over a hike in price are understandable but the fact that people are renewing show they are willing to give the new regime a fair crack of the whip.
Last season Mike Ashley was getting his feet under the table with a manager he didn't pick and it was clear United were heading the wrong direction, hence the removal of Sam Allardyce.
With a clean slate at the start of the season and right man in charge of the players on the field, in my humble opinion and with the benefit of hindsight after last season's turmoil, let's hope a better campaign lies in wait.
Let's put this "cheap" thing in context - the one person who we've seriously gone for this summer, is Modric. We offered more than Spurs in transfer fee but more importantly, we offered more than them in wages - just like we did with Woodgate. This is in stark contrast to the talk of Ashley's ultimate priority being to lower the wage bill and make a profit.
Let's face it, Modric hasn't set the world on fire - yes, he is a promising young player but for the reported ã20 million, I would much rather have someone like Podolski.
In conclusion though, I think it is typically disappointing of Newcastle fans that someone has come into the club, looking to build solid foundations financially and playing wise - we signed seven players in January aged between 17 and 18 - and we are criticising them. It's disappointing and let's face it, it is premature. Arsenal have signed no-one neither have Manchester United, Everton not even Man City. KK is back in this week and he will always have my confidence, my full backing and my trust. Let's see what happens then - if we're still talking about the same problems in a month, then maybe I might join in with the criticism.
I have to say, heard where in for a long hard winter, but never expected a long hard summer, i wouldn't be surprised if we don't sign anyone who's value is in double figures, i think we will spend very little money, and on cheap buys.
As i have said before, the only bright side, is no one else is really setting up deals, lets hope with KK back at the healm next week, something will happen

Nobody feels right anymore. I just need to leave. The effort I'm exerting to care about people halfway isn't worth anything at all, it's all a waste and I want to know why I'm still doing it, I shouldn't, I don't want to be doing it, but I am. I just want to be something further than gone, all my elastic relationships snapped like rubber bands and lying in piles miles behind me, and I won't spare a single thought for them, besides gladness…
I know it's not supposed to change my view of you, and I don't want it to, because you don't need pity and all, or maybe you just don't want it, I could see you with your clawing eyes right after you told me, daring me to look at you differently, even slightly. And I don't want to, because you're obviously still the same person…but it's fucking hard, okay? And it's like, I want to describe to you how overwhelmingly sorry I am, so so so so so so sorry, but I know it's not enough, this isn't about me anyway, and no sorry in the world could fix it, even if I tried. I just stared at your back, you know, as you started to leave, and tried to send a message to you through my brain waves, telepathically, to tell you how sad and fucking sick to the core I was that that had happened to you. You turned around to smile at me, and looked like half an angel as you stood there, trying not to cry, begging me not to. I know you're not an angel, but you looked like one, then.
findingsomewhere —> private-transit
So many people are so boring. I know I expect too much, but still, it never stops being disappointing.
I miss the girl who lingered in doorways, who was afraid to start a song unless others had already begun. She wore perfume on her wrists even though it gave her hives and she was the last anybody voice left in the world, and her spirit still just reads and runs.
"You're very much all kinds of beautiful."
I didn't believe it, but I said thank you, thank you very much sir.
There was (is) a man, and he had (has) button eyes and a smile that could (can) crack ice. He had cold hands, and he would run them up and down my bare legs and he would do it while the TV was still on. I remember listening to Obama when he was still a senator speak about the audacity of hope while my legs tingled and trembled.
The last evil that shall be eradicated is hope.
I wrote that on a Post-It in his kitchen.
"Why would you think something like that?"
"The Greeks thought so."
"It was in Pandora's box, wasn't it? The last of the worst."
He was endearing; he held his books like old glass, peering into them with bloodshot eyes, always was this slight expression of wonder, he would say he was looking through a kaleidoscope. He liked things with a shelf life, things that lasted.
Except me.
It is easy to call someone normal, and I know this because so often he said that about himself and it was so wrong and sometimes I wondered if he really thought it.
We were bent together, the two of us. Hugging each other like scarecrows in a storm. But my straw smelled like urine and rats had nestled within my chest cavity, and he still had his felt hat.
I was not very nice, I'll admit it right away. He grew tired of it. Still, I thought…
I thought it could have gone otherwise.
"You won't know beauty till it punches you in the mouth, screaming for its money back."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Fuck it—call me when you've got a bloody lip."
He kissed me and left, muttering something about Rhett Butler over the sound of his jerky engine's tank.
reading>writing (at the correct moment, anyway)
For me, the journey of trying to write something that's good has been filled with agonizing moments, so many that I've often wondered why I keep pursuing this dream; but it's during those rare moments when I'm in it, truly in it, banging away at the laptop keys, chasing a fresh idea, bobbing my head as if I were a fucking concert pianist playing in front of a large crowd—all while I'm alone with my coffee in a depressingly quiet room—that I realize I want to be a writer for the rest of my life.
Don't etch a sweet little story between your legs, love. The doctors won't like it. They won't like it at all.
But then, the doctors never like anything that's fun.
Your heart rate is down to 40 beats a minute—I hope you know that you've reached that point now, my little anomaly. People have stopped looking at your baby bird legs with jealousy and now see half-broken twigs. They're sorry for you, they're worried for you, 'that can't be healthy.' You know they're wrong though. It is healthy, it's so so healthy that they don't even get it, with their inferior will power and stomachs that creep around the waistlines of their pants. You smile when they tell you to see a doctor. You smile at the doctor. You smile when she furrows her brow at the numbers on the scale. You smile because you're a girl and you have a secret.
You drink tea like you're British and also you read books and have this fashion sense that people used to talk about. But nobody sees any of that because they're only looking at the one thing that isn't even a big thing. People get so distracted and scared all the time. You don't, you really don't, and you think that's why you notice it so much when others are.
People think that this is like any other disease. Like, you wake up one day and it's all over, you're cured. You don't think so. It's been four years and thirty-five pounds and you still are consumed and identified by it every day, even if other people can't tell anymore. It doesn't go away. I mean, nothing really goes away, but especially this. Sometimes people are surprised when you tell them, yeah, I used to be… and you never really understand why they're surprised, because you didn't used to be, you actually still are and if someone opened up your head they'd see that your brain cells are still starving. There's no 'over' with this.
At night, you still dream of celery sticks.
Hi Monday. How are you? I'm not well, Monday. This whole thing, it's not going well. It overwhelms me too often and too much. This cast-iron world I live in, it does its job and more, Monday. It locks me up and I still find myself admiring the metal twists of the flowers on the gate. I know what I should do. You want me to be brave, or something. Because bravery's always the correct solution. Whenever you ask rhetorical questions to yourself you know the answer even if you pretend there's another: Don't be afraid. You watch movies and you read books and you talk to your worried and depressed friend on the phone and you're always shouting at everyone not to be afraid. I'm an American, Monday. I know you're not, so you may find this hard to understand. But I was raised on courage. There are famous athletes on our cereal boxes, monsters in our closets, war heroes in our U.S. History 101 classes. It's like, being scared is worse than being hateful or angry or broken. And I go with it, Monday. That flow. I believe in it, more than you can imagine. I say what I think, I do what I think. I look down on people who don't. But here's what I'm wondering: Is it really brave to be brave? To shove that twitchy emotion to the back of your head, or to let it lie out there in the open, whimpering pathetic little sounds? In the end it comes down to honesty vs. courage. A bit difficult to choose, don't you think?
I miss writing.
I miss myself.
My parents are nice people. I can say this in a completely detached way, because we don't know each other at all.
When I see a couple of kids
And guess he's fucking her and she's
Taking pills or wearing a diaphragm,
I know this is paradise
Everyone old has dreamed of all their lives—
Bonds and gestures pushed to one side
Like an outdated combine harvester,
And everyone young going down the long slide
To happiness, endlessly. I wonder if
Anyone looked at me, forty years back,
And thought, That'll be the life;
No God any more, or sweating in the dark
About hell and that, or having to hide
What you think of the priest. He
And his lot will all go down the long slide
Like free bloody birds. And immediately
Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.
I'm good at being a mammal, but I'm bad at being a person.
I am sporadic at best, haywire, at worst.
It's a Monday. I should still be asleep. Instead, I am driving. The sun's already up and it smells like quiet morning. I'm driving through these fields, some with cracked wooden fences, some without. No one else is around. Just cows, horses. It's like I'm the only person in the world. The sunlight is digging into my skin, and I'm laughing in a soft way that is natural because I'm alone. People only laugh loudly when they want people to turn their heads. I'm numb and sore. Last night my inhibitions collapsed and today they came crawling back.
I'm still half-asleep. I feel like I'm in a black and white moving picture, or a dream. I'm chewing a green Jolly Rancher I stole from his pocket. It tastes like him.
When I was in high school I was a loser. I remember my one teacher, Ms. Tiles, told me that made me an outcast and that I should turn that state of being into art. She showed me a list of who else had; Anais Nin, Andy Warhol, Emily Dickinson, W.B. Yeats, Edgar Allen Poe, Vincent van Gogh, Sylvia Plath. I nodded my head, then melted into the hallway in my overlarge clothes and mousy hair. I would hum to myself with my eyes shut. People gave me a wide berth because everyone knows weirdness is contagious. I minded but I also didn't mind. Another memory: there was this Mexican restaurant I used to go to, and it was queerly lit and horrible, but I used to sit there alone at a table with plates of tortilla chips and I called it my jumping-off place, because I could always draw and write so much better there, I think because no one bothered me. At home, I never really got the privilege of being alone. So I wandered, looking for people who were both elegant and poignant, trembling with feeling. People who mattered, live wires draped in denim and semen, unrestrained and immune to the moral acupuncture our parents would pretend were vaccinations. Where were they?
Where are they?
I bite my lip. It's like, if I admit I'm lonely that means I'm not good enough, because I want them and they haven't wanted me. But if I want to be alone…like it, even…
I hope he takes me to another party tonight, a garish, metallic, meaningless one again tonight. So I can stand there and rot. I love rotting. I think it's a female thing.
My stomach hurts. I want somebody to talk to. Or at least someone to believe that it's always the very worst for me.
I am quite fond of The Beetles. The song Imagine by Paul McCartney is such an inspiration to me. The four Beetles, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and Mick Jagger will forever be my mentors; they taught me so much. When I find myself in times of trouble, I get by with a little help from my friends. All you need is love <33
A funny thing I've noticed: an author never seems to be dead until you've read absolutely everything they've written. It's like, as long as you don't know every word, they're still alive, still creating. I feel like novels are the only genre that works for; if someone's dead but you haven't seen all of their movies they don't seem any less dead. Books are different though. The unread pages out there still breathe a little.
But then, there's absolutely nothing worse than reading everything a dead author's written. I remember when I was younger, and completely obsessed with Roald Dahl, I read absolutely everything—all his books, short stories, interviews—and about a thousand times. And I don't know when it happened, but sometime shortly after that I became acutely aware that he was dead, in a way that he hadn't seemed before. There would be nothing new. Everything I've read and listened to would always be all there was, forever.
It's more depressing than anything else, really.
It hits like a ton of bricks, or a hurricane. I think that's a better comparison,
a storm, because most of the time you know when it's coming. You can feel it in your bones, you're like an old woman, the arthritis in your knee acting up again.
You batten down the hatches, board the windows shut with plywood. Hold your breath and grab some blankets from the cupboard. Remind yourself not to be afraid. Buy extra food so you won't starve. You know you won't eat it, but it's nice to know that it could be there, if you wanted.
Try to concentrate on the here and now,
and when you can't do that, sleep. When it's coming,
you learn to leave no in-between time, no question marks
or empty hours. The rapist can only get you if you were alone in a dark alley already. So you avoid alleys. You
avoid darkness. But still your mind glares at you, flares at you. How dare you.
You try to be bare and open, next. A drawer of knives.
You dissect yourself. Attempt diagnosis. No human being
should be overcome by an emotion it can't even feel.
This. It's not real. It's a foreign body, a cancer of the mind. Chewing away. It's hungry.
It's wrong,
not me,
not me,
not me.
But it is you, it is intrinsically laced within you,
it is just as much you as the rest of your more balanced body. An x-ray
would light up and show it everywhere,
even the places you wouldn't expect, like your armpits or the backs of your knees.
You hate it. You hate it so much.
And you can't stop its coming.
(You should sell your house. Hurricanes come too often around here. You think maybe your house isn't worth all the repairs you put into it. But you are sentimental. The good weather is so good. You're not brave enough to pull the plug. Even when you want to. Even when it might save you time and money, in the end).

Razer gives world's best-selling MMO gaming mouse an overhaul
Very few gaming mice stand the test of time. The Razer Naga, a gaming mouse released over five years ago is one of those that we still use today. (Heck, we still know people who are rocking Diamondbacks.) Built for MMOs, the Razer Naga's signature 12-button layout helped bring up an entire generation of gaming geeks in World of Warcraft.
Razer's gone and completely revamped the Naga to keep up with the modern times. If you look closely you'll see a little bit of the Taipan and Ouroboros design DNA in the new Naga. The 12 buttons are now mechanical switches (yeah man!) and instead of bulging out they're subtly convex, which should mean more comfort during long gaming sessions.
Additionally, the scroll wheel moves left and right, not just up and down — something that takes a little getting used to, but is an very sweet inclusion.
All of the usual Razer tech made it into the new Naga, including the super-fast 8200 dpi 4G laser, Synapse 2.0 mouse configurator, ARM 32-bit processor, and the iconic green LED glow.
True, the old naga had a more organic feel and look, but the new Naga is worth splurging $80 on just for the new mechanical side buttons alone. If you're a big MMO gamer, this is great mouse. Heck, you can still sell the old Naga and get a decent price on eBay to help fund a new one. And just because Razer can (even if it's at a loss), it has a left-handed edition for the same price. Hurray for lefties.

text: Posted Online: Feb. 13, 2013, 1:00 pm Editorial: Thank you, Rex Reed Comment on this story The Dispatch and the Rock Island Argus Photo: Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy star in the new film 'Identity Thief.' Thanks, Rex Reed. Yes, we mean that bloviating bag of wind who left common decency behind in attacking the appearance of Melissa McCarthy in reviewing her new film. (Full disclosure: We haven't seen "Identity Theft," and probaby won't; we just can't see the humor in a crime that destroys so many lives. But today's screed has nothing to do with the film itself and everything to do with our obsession with body image, so if you're waiting to find out why we're grateful to this blowhard and bully, please, read on.) Those who were outraged by Mr. Reed's nastiness should consider the source. Remember, for example, that he once likened one of the stars of film "Sex in the City" to a witch, saying, "There's nothing wrong with Sarah Jessica Parker, that couldn't be cured by wart-removal surgery." (She later had the "offending" mole removed.) And, perhaps worse, he started the outrageous and false rumor that Marissa Tomei won her Oscar for "My Cousin Vinny" only because a drunken Jack Palance read the wrong name. Mr. Reed is right when he says that his comments about Ms. McCarthy are constitutionally protected, but in the court of public opinion, we're happy to say, they have been deemed unacceptable. And the resulting public outcry is why those awful comments -- which we will not perpetrate by repeating here -- are so welcome, especially coming as they do on the heels of the ongoing discussion regarding whether it's fair to suggest that his girth makes Chris Christie unsuitable to be president of the United States. That was the subject of a piece in Wednesday's Viewpoints by GateHouse News Service's Kent Bush. In it he criticizes the New Jersey governor for reinforcing obesity stereotypes by eating a donut during an appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman. That reed-thin talk show host is a notorious tormentor of the ubiquitous Gov. Christie, who appears to be a leading GOP presidential contender in 2016. Mr. Bush also laments the fact that obesity may be the last target of acceptable bigotry. Smokers might argue that point, as well as those possessed of prominent features such as larger-than-average noses. Or the very thin. (Who hasn't at least smiled when someone directs a crack like, "Get her a sandwich, stat," at a waif in a restaurant?) Indeed, exaggeration of physical characteristics by comics is as old as time. (Henny Youngman and others got amazing mileage out of the line, "My wife is so fat, when sits around the house, she sits AROUND the house.") Ms. McCarthy understands and exploits such humor in her brand of physical comedy that stole the show and won her an Oscar nomination for the smash hit "Bridesmaids." Her sitcom, "Mike and Molly" focuses frequently on the weight of both of its stars. They're hardly the first actors to use physical image to good effect. Remember W.C. Fields and the Three Stooge's Curly Joe? The late Totie Fields rode self-deprecating fat jokes to stardom. So did Roseanne Barr, who offered this astute assessment of Ms. McCarthy's work via this Tweet: "you are a great comedian -- your body is your instrument -- you play it expertly." And that is really what ought to be at the heart of this debate. Melissa McCarthy is often celebrated for the very things that Rex Reed attacks: She is, her fans say, every woman, and her comments on the subject of weight thus far suggest that she's comfortable with who she is and how she looks. That's a great lesson for all of us — large, small, and in between. In all likelihood, she also will, as Reed suggests, laugh all the way to the bank. Good. As for the ersatz critic, we'll borrow our parting shot from a Tweet by Eric Stonestreet, a member of the talented cast of TV's Modern Family, who also appears in "Identity Theft": "Turns out, Rex Reed didn't die sad and alone 10 years ago. Nope. He's alive and starving for attention, so lets give him some." We suspect that even this celebrated publicity hound got more of it than he ever bargained for.

You can see some pictures here: > In Anna Wecker's lovely recipe for almond waffles she tells us that waffle irons are not smooth (and round) like the ones specifically for "oblaten" and that waffle irons have designs engraved. Weirdly though, most of the extant 16th century irons are round and feature designs. She also tells one to regulate the thickness of the batter depending on the depth of the waffle iron. One of the tidbits I have run across about oblaten comes with my experiments at baking lebkuchen. Some traditional recipes bake modern versions on "back-oblaten" which are thin white unseasoned wafers. Although I can't exactly call to mind - I think it was in a book on lebkuchen molds maybe - I read that the practice was started by medieval monks as the baking surface in the oven for the sticky honey-based baked good. No citation given though, as I recall. Is the English word wafer a variant of the word waffle? If so, maybe wafer is not the best translation for the word oblaten. They sound positively nummy, at any rate! Katherine

Favored by many professional fabricators as well as my personal favorite and most-used air tool is Snap-on's .45-horsepower 90-degree angle die grinder (PN PT210R) with an arbor to use 3-inch Power Loc-style abrasive discs. This tool has the 1/4-inch collet and a grease fitting to help make it last longer, but it's also fully rebuildable if anything does happen. Power Loc refers to how the abrasive disc attaches to the arbor with half a clockwise turn onto the rubber-backed arbor thanks to the small plastic spiral on the back of each flexible abrasive disc.
