On the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece "Roger & Me," Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" comes home to the issue he's been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans. But this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene is far wider than Flint, Michigan.
The words "health care" and "comedy" aren't usually found in the same sentence, but in Academy Award winning filmmaker Michael Moore's new movie 'SiCKO,' they go together hand in (rubber) glove.
While Moore's 'SiCKO' follows the trailblazing path of previous hit films, the Oscar-winning BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE and all-time box-office documentary champ FAHRENHEIT 9/11, it is also something very different for Michael Moore. 'SiCKO' is a straight-from-the-heart portrait of the crazy and sometimes cruel U.S. health care system, told from the vantage of everyday people faced with extraordinary and bizarre challenges in their quest for basic health coverage.
In the tradition of Mark Twain or Will Rogers, 'SiCKO' uses humor to tell these compelling stories, leading the audience to conclude that an alternative system is the only possible answer.
After 20 years of making groundbreaking films and setting box office records -- from "Roger & Me" to "Bowling for Columbine" to "Sicko" -- Mike has decided to thank you by giving away his newest film, "Slacker Uprising," for free!
One of the most controversial and provocative films of the year, Fahrenheit 9/11 is Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's searing examination of the Bush administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11.
With his characteristic humor and dogged commitment to uncovering the facts, Moore considers the presidency of George W. Bush and where it has led us. He looks at how - and why - Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saudi connection to 9/11, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and Saudi money had funded Al Qaeda. Fahrenheit 9/11 shows us a nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts and lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that infringes on basic civil rights. It is in this atmosphere of confusion, suspicion and dread that the Bush Administration makes its headlong rush towards war in Iraq and Fahrenheit 9/11 takes us inside that war to tell the stories we haven't heard, illustrating the awful human cost to U.S. soldiers and their families.
"Bowling for Columbine" is an alternately humorous and horrifying film about the United States. It is a film about the state of the Union, about the violent soul of America. Why do 11,000 people die in America each year at the hands of gun violence? The talking heads yelling from every TV camera blame everything from Satan to video games. But are we that much different from many other countries? What sets us apart? How have we become both the master and victim of such enormous amounts of violence? This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi.
Michael Moore might have thought he'd have a problem doing a follow-up to "Roger & Me," his muckraking documentary that took General Motors CEO Roger Smith to task for closing a Buick plant and throwing thousands out of work. Since that soul-satisfying film in 1988, Moore has taken on a certain measure of celebrity and even solvency. But then along came downsizing in the '90s. As corporations discovered they could increase profits by firing American workers who made them rich and farming out jobs to lower-priced workers in other countries, Moore's new documentary, "The Big One," became inevitable. - Jay Carr, Boston Globe
America has been invading Canada culturally almost since its last military incursion in 1812. Now Moore has imagined a president (Alan Alda) who talks tough about those mean guys up north so he can jack up his numbers in the polls and get America's weapons factories humming again. The trouble is, a lawman from Niagara Falls, N.Y., the late John Candy, takes the talks seriously and precipitates an international incident. - Bart Mills, Marquee Magazine
The Bunny Lady is still skinning rabbits, Deputy Fred is still evicting people from their homes, and former General Motors chairman Roger Smith still isn't returning Michael Moore's phone calls. - Benjamin Svetkey , Entertainment Weekly
In 1989, Michael Moore burst onto the American moviemaking scene with Roger & Me. The groundbreaking documentary chronicled the efforts of the world's largest corporation, General Motors, as it turns its hometown of Flint, Michigan, into a ghost town. In his quest to discover why GM would want to do such a thing, Michael Moore - a Flint native - attempts to meet the chairman, Roger Smith, and persuade him to come and visit Flint to see the destruction first-hand.

All of the Ananke moons are retrograde, which means that they orbit Jupiter in the opposite direction from the planet's rotation. Their orbits are also eccentric (elliptical rather than circular) and rather highly inclined with respect to Jupiter's equatorial plane. All of these characteristics support the idea that the Ananke satellites began as a captured asteroid, rather than forming as part of the original Jupiter system. None of the Ananke members is massive enough to pull itself into a sphere, so they are probably all irregularly shaped.
S/2003 J16 has a mean radius of about one kilometer (assuming an albedo of 0.04). At a mean distance of about 20.9 million km from Jupiter, it takes about 616 Earth days to complete one orbit.
S/2003 J16 was discovered in April 2003 by Brett J. Gladman at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii.
How S2003 J16 Got its Name:
S/2003 J16 was so designated because it is a satellite (S) that was discovered in 2003, and was the 16th satellite of Jupiter (J) to be found that year.

"For range of effect, philosophical weight, originality of style, variety of characterization, humor, and tragic intensity, [Faulkner's works] are without equal in our time and country". (Robert Penn Warren)
"Faulkner's As I Lay Dying review"
As a Faulknerian scholar, I was pleasantly surprised by this audio rendition of one of Faulkner's complex works. I used this recording to assist a blind peer who was studying the novel, and I read my copy along with the recorded reading to help establish and clarify the characters' points of view, especially with regards to the sections involving stream of consciousness.
Together, we found the use of multiple readers helped distinguish the different narrators of this work. We thoroughly approved of the readers' Southern accents and (being from the South)found very few flaws in that regard. A few artistic interpretations of the stream of consciousness sections were distracting, as the readers chose to add punctuation rather than flow rapidly from one thought to the next without breaks. This did not take away from the story as a whole, but I did need to clarify this for the academic purposes of my peer.
All in all, this was an excellent rendition of Faulkner's novel. I am pleased to have this recording in my permanent library.
I use this "tour de force" novel in my high school English class, and I've found that the audio helps the students follow the story better. I personally enjoy the narrators who with their use of dialects are able to add life to the characters, even Addie, who is dead for most of the novel.
"One of the best"
Having a lengthy daily commute, I have listened to over a hundred recorded books and this one is absolutely among the best I have heard! Faulkner's writing begs to be read out loud and this recording was beautiful, capturing you in its slow southern spell.
"Listening to a Play"
The multiple voices are simply wonderful and, having read this in hard copy many times over the years, I had some trepidations about listening. However the words are as powerful as they are in print and have the added quality of staying as the voices of a "play" in your head. Terrific.
My interests run to psychology, popular science, history, world literature, and occasionally something fun like Jasper Fforde. It seems like the only free time I have for reading these days is when I'm in the car so I am extremely grateful for audio books. I started off reading just the contemporary stuff that I was determined not to clutter up my already stuffed bookcases with. And now audio is probably 90% of my "reading" matter.
"Ain't no end to bad luck when once it starts"
What makes this book interesting is not the story. The story is pretty banal. What makes this book interesting is the characters, and the insight into how people feel and think, and the dynamics that develop within a family or any other group of people. Faulkner was a brilliant innovator of stream-of-consciousness and other modern narrative devices. I appreciate him more the more I read of him. A lot of writing presupposes that people think in words, but Faulkner tries to express the non-verbal feelings we have drawing from the words we would use if we had the time and the vocabulary to sort them all out. I think this accounts for some of the poetical imagery we get from characters who would not otherwise think some of the thoughts Faulkner ascribes to them.
The travails of the Bundren family are painful to watch. They all have their secrets from each other. They are all flawed individuals. They have barely held together as a family. Watching them all stumble through the trial of dealing with Addie's death makes you wonder how they can possibly all stay together much longer. But there are counterforces at work too.
One thing I cannot understand is how a 270 page book can be narrated in under 7 hours. I guess I will have to go look at a paper copy and try to figure it out.
The use of 4 readers for this book is extremely helpful in sorting out which of the 15 narrators is speaking at any given time. In general I give them high marks for conveying Faulkner's language and coping with the ambiguities of stream-of-consciousness writing. The one exception I have to comment on is the voice chosen for Dewey Dell. The reader chooses to make Dewey Dell into a kind of wispy, ethereal, dreamy teenager. She fails to capture any of the sullen, angry adolescent that Faulkner constantly hints is at the core of Dewey Dell's character.
However, that minor complaint in no way detracts from the overall quality of this audiobook. It's not about Dewey Dell, any more than it is about Anse, Cash, Darl, Jewel, Vardamon or even Addie. It's ultimately about something else. Something I don't know how to express. Faulkner knew how to express it, but it took him a whole book to do it.
"Faulkner -- Tough but worth it"
Please understand that Faulkner is very difficult to read / listen to. That does not mean it is not worth hearing.
from Knowledge Lost
"Stream of Consciousness"
As I Lay Dying is a classic American novel that was written by William Faulkner. This book follows the journey of fifteen different characters as they set out to fulfil the wishes of the recently deceased Addie Bundren who is to be buried in Jefferson. Faulkner shifts between the fifteen narrators throughout book, one of them is even the deceased, who is expressing her thoughts from the coffin. As the book continues you can see the characters develop with each narrator's perceptions and opinions.
This book is best known for its stream of consciousness writing technique which can be one of the biggest struggles with this book. It's a dense read and if you don't pay enough attention and try to delve deep into this book you will struggle to enjoy it. I made the mistake of starting reading book out as like a novel and it took me a while to pull myself up and approach this novel in the right mindset. But eventually I did start enjoying this book for what it is; and that is as a piece of literature that helped pioneer the stream of consciousness narrative and the interior monologue.
Faulkner was never an easy author to read but I hear this is his most accessible novel so I'm worried about reading anything else of his. I did enjoy exploring his literary style and just seeing the techniques he used for this novel but this really isn't everyone's idea of a fun read. There are some interesting characters in As I Lay Dying and some very ironic and dark elements to the story. As for the plot and scenery I did find it lacking but that really wasn't what Faulkner was trying to achieve.
William Faulkner has famously said that he wrote the novel in six weeks and that he did not change a word of it. This in itself is a pretty impressive statement but if you look at the techniques and the novel as an overall piece of high literature, this statement is more impressive that I originally thought; it makes me feel like a failure. As I Lay Dying is not going to be for everyone, it is a dense novel but for lovers of literature it is interesting to dive into something that has been analysed deeply. I'm not going to go into this side of the book because I doubt I could really do it justice. The style of this book is interesting, the prose is worth a deeper look and overall this book is just fascinating.

"You Have to "Get" Faulkner"
Faulkner is not an easy read. Expect to go back often and really listen to the story. Expect to look up some notes and commentary to grasp what the hell is going on. Expect to struggle with lines like, "My mother is a fish"
Expect to WORK through this book.
And expect the best of literature and performance. Expect to learn. Expect to expand your insight into frustration and futility. Expect to feel pain.
This is a great piece of literature and it's very well delivered.
Worth the effort.
"Beautiful, grim, and hilarious"
The multiple narrators of this audiobook bring the story to life: a grim tale of poverty and death with an unexpected dash of hilariously dark humor. A woman is dying and is finally dead, and her husband and children set out with the coffin on a journey to her home town. The language is colorful and concrete and filled with incantatory repetitions of certain phrases. It's the ultimate jinxed road trip, cursed at times with what appear to be all the plagues of Egypt. Without giving away too much, I'll just say, to paraphrase the Bible: where there's a dead body, the vultures will gather. This saying may have originally been intended as a metaphor, but in Faulkner's beautifully poetic prose, you can hear the flapping of wings.
"good narration of a classic"
If you're looking at Faulkner then you hopefully know what you're getting into. This, along with Unvanquished are probably good intros with this starting to get into the stream of consciousness and convoluted structures without being too much. this is a great idea to have the rotating narrators by different readers, however they should have gone a step further and used enough to cover all the voices distinctly with no repeats. there are a couple of narrators who read more than one voice/character and some voices are not as individual as they need to be, and a couple times a reader's sections come back to back and the voices run too similar, enough that i lost track of who was speaking a couple times. still a good rendition.
"A stream of voices in the dry wilderness?."
The key to this book is the disparate voices of the same family that find their way to us across the divide of time, location, culture and context. A book that is a struggle from the start - 15 different narrators in 59 chapters - but a journey that becomes easier as we are helped with the burden of unfamiliar language and strange circumstances by a great narration team. The Stream of consciousness technique was refined from its European source by Faulkner and we see its full glory here - on the trail to Jefferson, Mississippi. Not Agamemnon to Odysseus as the title suggests, but a dirt poor family in the throes of their own sad Odyssey.
Great stuff ? a really difficult book well delivered ? it?s what makes Audible so valuable.

When a loved one dies, you might face the overwhelming responsibility of closing out the person's life. There are many things to attend to, from providing a proper tribute to closing bank accounts to canceling a gym membership. And many of the tasks require attention to detail — adding stress to what is already a pretty emotional time.
To cope, cut yourself some slack: Don't try to handle everything yourself if you don't have to.
"This burden shouldn't be placed on one individual," says Sally Hurme, an AARP elder law attorney and author of The ABA Checklist for Family Heirs. "When people ask what they can do to help, take advantage of the offer. Delegate."
To do so, you need to have a full, clear picture of what needs to be done. Here's an ordered checklist to make your task easier. As you review what's in store, consider which undertakings you can hand off and who can best handle them.
To Do Immediately
Arrange for organ donation. It may be the last detail you want to think about, but arrangements need to be made "almost immediately at death so the organs can be harvested as promptly as possible," Hurme says. Not certain about the person's wishes? Two sources to check: the driver's license and an advance health care directive, such as a living will or health care proxy. If the answer is "yes," the hospital where the person died will have a coordinator to guide you through the process. If your loved one died outside of a hospital — that includes in hospice or a nursing home — contact the nearest hospital. Staff will be on hand to answer questions about what's next. There is no cost.
Contact immediate family. Of course you want to update key family members. Bringing them together in person, by phone or electronically (via mass email, Skype or Facebook Family page), is an opportunity not only to comfort one another but also to share information about important decisions that must be made — some of them immediately. Do any of you, for example, know of an arrangement for the funeral or other source for burial wishes?
Follow body bequeathal instructions. If the person made arrangements to donate his or her body to a medical school, the family must respect those wishes. An advance directive, living will or health proxy may guide you to a particular institution. If the person hasn't made arrangements, the next of kin can donate the body, but the decision needs to be made as early as possible.
Consider funeral preparations. If possible, bring together key family members for an early conversation. This is especially helpful if the deceased left no advance instructions or possibly made an unreasonable request. Factors to consider:
- What did the deceased want?
- What can you afford?
- What's realistic?
- What will help the family most?
Next: Choose a funeral home. »


text: Finance overview faculty program organizations after graduation Career opportunities for those who have studied finance are divided into four related areas: corporate finance, investment, money and capital markets, and international finance. Corporate finance: Financial managers deal with plant expansions, securities issuing, and decisions on credit terms. Positions will be at banks, other financial institutions, industrial and retail firms, hospitals, schools, and governments. Investments: Finance graduates who go into investments usually work for a brokerage firm (security analyst), bank, mutual fund, insurance company (portfolio management), consulting firm, pension fund, or investment bank. Money and Capital Markets: Graduates in this area work for financial institutions including banks, insurance firms, mutual funds, or investment banks (valuation, regulatory environments) International Finance: At this time of accelerating globalization, the graduates who focus on international finance, when equipped with foreign language proficiency, will be offered very attractive positions with multinational corporations, foreign financial institutions, foreign and international organizations such as the IMF, World Bank, and UN. The goal of finance is value maximization and two emerging trends will become increasingly important: the globalization of business and the use of information technology.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is aiming for a repeat performance from his team in the 2011 Formula One World Championship.
The Austrian racing team secured its first team and individual titles last season, with German Sebastian Vettel claiming the drivers' championship.
Horner knows consecutive titles will be hard to come by, but that is not stopping the 37-year-old Englishman from setting the bar high.
"It's obviously the target," Horner said, referring to a successful defence of Vettel's crown.
"We don't underestimate our rivals at Ferrari and McLaren, they certainly won't be standing still."
"There's some new challenging regulations for next year but we'll be looking to put the lesson learned this year into practice."
While Ferrari assisted Fernando Alonso's title challenge by instructing co-driver Felipe Massa to make way in the German Grand Prix, there were no such team orders for Red Bull, who encouraged the competition between their championship-contending drivers.
"It just comes down to your philosophy of racing and we chose to give both our drivers absolute equality and a fair chance at it," Horner said.
"This was the way that we decided to approach the championship, and ultimately that means the guy who has done the best job over the season has come out on top and we were just delighted that it was a Red Bull driver in Sebastian Vettel."
"I think he will only continue to get better. He's only 23 years of age, he's still very young, he's still emerging and learning. He's immensely fast, he's a bright intelligent young man and he's got years of racing left ahead of him."
British racing great Sir Jackie Stewart, who was speaking at the British Racing Drivers' Club awards ceremony, also tipped Vettel for a period of sustained dominance in the sport.
"Sebastian Vettel is certainly going to be a multiple time world winning Champion," Stewart said.
"He is hugely talented and got great natural ability and he's got focus."
Nigel Mansell, F1 world champion with Williams in 1992, believes Webber and Vettel will both return stronger next season.
"I think the maturity after winning a championship Sebastien Vettel will have now will be enormous," Mansell said.
"I think Mark (Webber), who was very disappointed, is a good, solid upstanding man and I think he will grow in stature and hopefully come out in 2011 and be a really strong competitor with Sebastian."

Currently I use update-ip little application to update a text file on my ftp server with my current ip address.
Would it be possible to request a little app here, that would have hard-coded ftp server info and would upload a little text file with the current ip address in it replaced.
My client wants this so the only access to his website by his employees is done from their computers at work.
So the app would need to run invisibly so the employees are not even aware of this additional security measure.
This way they would not be able to login from home or from any other place.
update-ip is visible running in the taskbar, so that's not useful.
update-ip is doing the job fine but is not invisible, it also uses a template file, here is the template file I use:
dim MY_IP
then the file is included and script knows my ip and I get better treatment on the server =)

The brakes to my Honda pretty much failed on me this past Tuesday and I needed an auto repair shop that was close by and reliable. I am so happy that I chose Jim's Auto Repair. It turned out that my calipers needed to be replaced because they were leaking out brake fluid...woops. Jose was one of the mechanics that worked with me and he was very helpful and nice. They were kinda busy and I had no ride home so I hung out for a few hours while they worked on my car. Jose was kind enough to let me know what restaurants were in the area so I could grab a bite to eat and kill time. I'm not familiar with pricing for car parts and labor since I normally don't have car trouble but the cost for new calipers, brake fluid, and labor came out to $268 which included tax. As of today, 1/14/11, I can say with confidence that my brakes are working properly and it's probably the best my brakes have ever felt. Another thing to note is that I have wheel locks on my tires, but no key. However, there's a few tools that you can use to undo the locks, and Jose had them handy. So there was no need for me to provide my own tools that I use to undo the locks. He also recommended that I get a tune up and fix the leaking in my radiator. Both recommendations are accurate as I have followed up with a mechanic friend in Tustin and he concurred with Jose's assessment. The estimated costs for both services that Jose recommended are: Tune Up: $180 Radiator: $275 I'll let you guys be the judge of whether this is average pricing or pricey. Other than that, Jose saved my life on Tuesday.
-Vanessa R
can't believe I haven't written a review for Jose and the shop yet... I've been going to Jim's for 15 years and I have NEVER had a complaint. Jose and his family are good upstanding people that are trustworthy and reliable. The service is top notch and the 6 cars I have owned throughout the years have all been repaired at Jim's. From oil changes to transmission replacement, Jose has been there to talk me through it. He has picked me up when I was stranded and made sure I was always taken care of whenever I'm in the shop. My family goes to him, my friends go to him and I would recommend everyone within driving distance to get serviced at Jim's. Quality and honest auto repair shops are very hard to find and Jim's is one of the few. I have to add that I have never owned a VW, but it is his specialty. All my cars I took to him were Honda's, Toyota's, and Mercedes (money pit of a car). It's starting to sound like I work for the place! The ONLY downside is the waiting area, if you could get dropped off I would recommend doing so, especially if its going to be an extensive wait. If you're only doing an oil change bring an IPOD or a book...or read the Bible there on the desk, it will do you some good. There isn't a shop around that compares to Jim's Auto Repair.

- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I recently bought a set of whips are for my 2002 Honda Civic. The sales person at Backcountry failed to inform me that I would need the Mighty Mount Clips too. So I called back and ordered the clips. Again the sales person failed to tell me that the clips would not work with my Yakima Raptor bike carrier to where the bikes could ride going forward on the car. I had to send them back and order the universal mounts to make it work right. This delayed me using my roof rack for almost five weeks. I have not been pleased with advice received from Backcountry.
Don't disparage the product just because you bought the wrong one.
It's perfectly valid to rate the vendor in ratings and reviews.

Date: April 18, 2008
Summary: Steve goes off in a huff after Beaver refuses to help him
Onomatopoeias used: "CREAM", "SUGAR", "STIR", "SSSSIP!"
"Fin" style: None
Number of panels: 11

Beaver is sitting, cross-legged, and wearing a kimono.
Steve: "Ooh! Beaver, can I use your expensive Japanese calligraphy brushes to clean my mice??"
Beaver: No, Steve. They're expensive.
Panel 2
Steve, tears in his eyes, turns away in anger.
Steve: "FINE! Then I'm going to drink this coffee!!"
Beaver holds up a hand in protest.
Beaver: "No, Steve! Don't do it! It's a big boy drink!!"
Panel 3
Steve CREAMs his coffee.
Panel 4
Steve, tongue poking out through concentration, SUGARs his coffee.
Panel 5
With worried determination, Steve begins to STIR STIR STIR STIR STIR ST..
Panel 6
Beaver holds his head in panic.
Beaver: "NO, STEVE!!"
Steve takes a slow, nervous SSSSIP!
Panel 7
Steve: "PLEAH! Yuck! More sugar! More sugar!"
Steve spits out the coffee and throws down the cup.
Panel 8
But something odd is begins to happen to Steve. As Beaver looks on, confused, beads of sweat appear on Steve's brow.
Panel 9
Beaver's expression turns to surprise as Beaver starts to grow taller, darker, more fearsome.
Panel 10
By now Steve is so big that only one foot and his tail are visible in frame.
Panel 11
Finally, Steve towers over the city. His scales are bright orange, he has a hard shell on his back and a crop of orange hair on his head. Best of all, though, he has a beard.
Steve: "Oh my God, A BEARD!! Beaver, I'm a big boy now!"
Fun Facts

A: Surgeons use blood transfusions

are used when a
patient loses a significant amount of blood during a
surgical procedure, childbirth or a serious injury.
Blood transfusions help patients
maintain a certain level of
hemoglobin in the blood.
Hemoglobin is a component
of red blood cells, and it is
responsible for carrying oxygen

while minimizing blood loss and the need for transfusions.
There are many personal reasons why patients
choose transfusion-free medicine. Research has
shown that the benefits include:
Many physicians treat patients who elect bloodless medicine
and surgery. The decision is the patient's, but it must
be made clearly and formally in advance.
In addition to bloodless techniques, some patients
prefer to bank or store their own blood, or the blood of
a family member. Others decide to have their own
blood collected, cleaned and recycled back into the body.
This method is called autotransfusion, and uses a cell salvage
machine or a cell saver. It is a safe, simple and very
effective way to reduce—and in many cases, eliminate altogether—a blood transfusion.

How To Buy A Tennis Racquet
New high-tech materials, larger heads and longer racquets have
changed the way the game of tennis is played. It is essential that
you choose the type and size racquet that best fits your game.
Matching your racquet to your ability level
It is vital that the tennis equipment you use fits your skill
level. You should buy a racquet that suits your size, swing and
ability level.
Return To Top
Determining your racquet type
The type of tennis racquet you should purchase depends on the
type of player you are. Use the guidelines below to determine your
playing style.
Defining your swing type
Power player
Finesse player
Combination player
Understanding racquet technology
Before you choose a tennis racquet, it is important to
understand the many factors that control a racquet's performance, and
how each of them can impact your game.
Head size
The bigger your racquet's head, the more powerful your shot. On
the other side, the smaller the head size the more control you have.
If you're in the middle, there are mid-sized versions that offer you
a little of both.
The length of your racquet, the distance from the bottom of the
handle to the top of the head, depends on how big you are and what
type of game you play.
The weight of a racquet affects both power and control. With
today's racquets getting lighter, manufacturers have placed most of
the weight, or mass, in the head to increase the power.
Stiffness and flexibility
Any time a racquet "flexes" it is
wasting energy. Both of these factors only really impact advanced
players. All manufacturers have different ways of determining and
indicating their stiffness and flexibility ratings.
Head shape
The shape of the racquet head depends on your preference in the
look of the racquet and your skill level.
Grip size
How to choose the right string for your
Once you have the type of frame that best fits your playing
style and swing, you will need to determine the type of stringing
that suits your game.
Pre-strung racquets
Most manufacturers offer pre-strung racquets in their
less-expensive models.
Unstrung racquets

I think, in terms of organizational health, Id rank South Florida pro teams as so:
1. Miami Heat
2. Florida Panthers
3. Miami Dolphins
4. Florida Marlins
Miami Heat - Pat Riley and Mickey Arison, period! One of the best GMs/presidents in any league, partnered with one of the best owners in sports. First class organization from the top, to the ticket representatives. The rest of teams should really mirror them, and understand how to cater to its fans!
Florida Panthers - UNBELIEVABLE turnaround of a franchise since the hiring of just ONE man, Dale Tallon. A complete 180 of the product on the ice, along with the best prospect pool in the NHL, gives the Panthers arguably the best future out of any team in South Florida. There is still a ways to go, but the organization has probably never seen this type of stability before, which was in constant question. Dont want to forget about Santos as well, who has also been a huge piece of this "blueprint!"
Miami Dolphins - Would be closer to the Heat and Panthers if we had a more competent GM and Coach. I kinda like Ireland, but there are obvious holes that werent filled, and when players like Olsen and Evans are available for dirt cheap, he goes the more conservative approach. Sparano is not a NFL head coach, and seeing how our Oline has been inconsistent since his arrival, I dont even think he is that good of an Oline coach. Ross really dropped the ball as well. He should just stay out of the way and just write checks, not try crap like he did with Harbaugh. And its a damn shame, because the fins have a top five defense, but once again, our offense is going to be why we arent a playoff team.
Florida Marlins - A FU@#%G MESS! I dont know who is to blame for what is going on there, Loria or Beinfest! This crap with LoMo is just another reason why players are not going to want to play for this team. Yes, lets make an example of our youngsters, like LoMo, who despite batting 240, has 17 homers and 60 RBIs. They demote him, but let Hanley play, despite his *****iness, and even worse stats? IMO, its time to move Hanley. He is not a team player, nobody likes him, and overall, he obviously is not dedicated to this team.
If I wasnt ranking just pro teams, no doubt I would have the Canes behind the Heat and Panthers. They seem to really know what they are doing. Golden has been amazing since his hiring (top five draft class), and the school really seems to understand what it takes to build a top football school, with new buildings being built for the Athletic department. IMO, the Canes are closer to a National Championship birth before the Fins reach another SB, or the Fish reach another WS.
Its frustrating seeing this crap go down. With a few tweaks here and there, we could have a very successful sports town, like Boston for example, but until some idiots are shown the door, that wont happen.
Ok, end of rant!

The Birth of Wheat Thin
The Birth of Wheat Thin
After a fairly big season, summer wearing on, Bridwell and I went up to the Meadows to climb with Robbins and Jeff Dozier for the day. RR had just arrived for a quick trip with Jeff and his idea for an outing with the four of us, was Rawl Drive on Lembert Dome, now rated 5.10aR/X. Appropriately the only real pitch followed a line of widely spaced bolts up the handsome west face of Lembert, after negotiating a rib lower down after the first belay. With RR leading off over the horizon in fabulous blue skies, and Jeff then also disappearing, Bridwell and I, being the youngsters of the group and certainly the self-styled bad boys, were left alone briefly to hone our skills of abject ridicule. You see, by this point, August 1971, we both knew RR and Jeff were just grand old men and had had to give up their reins to us squirts who certainly would know how to finally kick the horse in the flanks.
So toward this end, Bridwell performs, entirely for my benefit at our smidgeon of a belay spot, and realize too here, very close at hand since he was tied to Jeff's trailing line and anchored at our belay, a hilarious mocking of RR's showboating style of face climbing. Lots of stepthroughs with uncanny hops, operated at a frequency far beyond what RR had performed but indicative of the wasteful and exhibitionistic quality they had had, say maybe ten stepthrough hops within 25 seconds, reminiscent of Irish clog dancing. He went on to add for me, several very "alert" memorable and classic RR facial profiles requiring he also flare the hell out of his nostrils and do RR eyes, as if to signify that in the beautiful alpine scene below us he as RR had sensed the Larger Picture from our aerie. All of this without gaining any altitude. As he actually began to follow the pitch, he continued this comedic routine with other
But Jim and I weren't done. We salvaged what was left of our productive day and roared back down to the Cookie area 50 miles away leaving the old farts with their memories, rappelled the soon-to-be Wheat Thin, and checked out this phenomenal formation. We were roped on and over the edge within an hour and half of leaving the Meadows.
Wheat Thin, on the Nabisco Wall, was not thought of as something a climber from Good Society would have bothered with. The silly thing is about 1" thick mostly, a flake so thin that in its expanse has many actual weathered through-and-through holes in its face as it stands about 100 ft high above the actual Cookie top. And when I had been over in this area climbing, I of course had seen it, as everyone else had, and it did not even occur to me that it was a possible climb. What it looked like was mere ugliness and non-being, Nonclimbing, really, which can fill many areas partially, especially 35 years ago.
But Bridwell, in his March to the Sea, had noticed it and had decided we were going to make this thing happen somehow, so that other climbers could not have it. Kind of like how Richard Pryor says, "Women, they're weird, they buy shoes so that other women can't have them". And so over we go, bolts and hangers at the ready, and place a few really ugly, hideously uncrafted 1/4" compression units in the vertical cliff wall just to the left of this piece of granite paper shuddering on the wall, while taking out a few razor-edged flakes staked in the crack here and there. Bridwell did most of this as I hung out above him.
I am looking at him, he is wonderfully garbed in his all-white full-sleeved shirt and pants, but he is not happy. He is hammering away at the drill, but way fast, and doesn't seem to be enjoying anything anymore. We had been having such fun too. The drill in those days was not carbide and would narrow out and bind quickly. The bolts are bottoming out too soon. I don't know. With him it could be anything. But eventually he clues me in. And then I see some blood, it's near his crotch, let's me know his hemorrhoids are killing him. And he is in white, not a great fashion choice considering.
So in the spirit of our raucous day that had begun in the Meadows, I take a motherly tone with him hanging 50 feet below me, trying to soothe him, advising my daughter about how this kind of thing happens to young ladies around this age, that it would become a regular thing, and that he should not be afraid it is just the weeping of the disappointed uterus. It was Bird's first Period. And he enjoys this new riff, jugs up, and I finished the last messed up bolt and we are out of there. So in a matter of an afternoon, Wheat Thin became the first rap-bolted climb in the Valley, only because it was such a fragile wildly expanding structure, and ironically authored by extreme trad climbers.
We instantly went back the next day I recall, and started to climb our monstrosity. Since it was Jim's idea, as we stand on top of the Cookie, he leads off way to the right on a flake ledge to access the incipient crack that runs up to the actual defined left facing 1"-4" thick flake lieback. He has hammered the shit out of a Long Dong trying to get it into the meager bottoming crack; there is nothing between him and I twenty five feet to his left besides this and he tries to develop the moves above this A3-quality of placement to reach our fancy flake.
He hates it; the situation is unexpected because yesterday we had just looked at the flake higher up and not how to get into it. After about 30 minutes he actually backs off, gives me the lead. I am sure he was not at par either with his hemorrhoids. My advantage of course was that I did not drive the one and only point of protection between us, so I did not understand how it probably would not have held a real fall. I beat it a little, didn't love it but went ahead anyway, stepping up from the big ledge I was on. So bold and ignorant, I established these fairly hard 5.10c barn-door moves to the flake, thinking that they were gross, inconvenient, and just in the way of our special-assed flake rather than the actual beef of the whole route. Climbing onwards to the top of Butterballs for the belay, I encountered nothing as difficult as this technical start I had done and had actually kind of gotten bored tippy-toeing around this dangerous thin feature. Jim swarmed up the route, and we were off.
It turned out during subsequent ascents years later that a couple serious falls took place at the beginning, and that although it was to become a unique airy three-star route, the thing was nobody's little plaything. It was just put up by clowns.

bamboo fire--delray
Bamboo Fire is mentioned in a few posts about Caribbean Food in Florida but I really it deserves special separate mention. First and please excuse the cliched phrases but they all fit perfectly...Bamboo Fire is charming,the decor is quirky and very comfortable,both inside and out, the owners are wonderful warm,sincere,enthusiastic and generous.One word of caution this is a family run operation......if you go expecting strictly portioned,microwaved,steam table food that was made that morning (or last week) and that appears 5 inutes after ordering....this is NOT the restaurant for you. Beverly the chef and an owner ,(with her husband who is the waiter) is going to cook your food after it's ordered and it's worth waiting for. I'm not at all an expert on Jamaican food but the Jerk and Curry dishes satisfied eveyone in our party....ranging in age from 12 to 70. The conch fritters and the meatballs and the wings were all great, the sides were perfect as was the guava cheescake
Bamboo Fire is open only for dinner Wednesday thru Saturday and Saturday lunch and Sunday from noon to 6..Saturday night there is live jazz and open jam starting at 8.
Bamboo Fire is a wonderful and personal experience in a universe increasingly overun with bland,corporate,disengaged and often loud restaurants...anyone interested in good food and terrific people working very hard to please should
make an effort to get there soon
Bamboo Fire
149 ne 4th avenue (about 2 blocks north of Atlantic)
Delray Beach
561 749 0973 or 954 907 4174 (Beverlys cell phone ,it's that kind of place)
be sure to call ahead to reserve and check on specials
NB i have no connection withj this restaurant except that of a fan
re: aynrandgirl
it was certainly opened Thursday night. i believe the Wednesday downpour may have caused the problem.. just call the 954 number and check before you go.
re: dickinboca
Why would it cause a problem? Is there no inside dining?
re: aynrandgirl
there is indoor dining..cozy and pleasant
re: aynrandgirl
I stopped by during Delray Affair and they were closed with a sign on the door saying they would be back at 1:30. We didn't feel like waiting 20 minutes so we went to Vic & Angelos instead. A business should have consistent hours if it wants customers, especially on the busiest weekend like this one.
re: freakerdude
They'll close early if they think they won't have more customers.
I agree with everything you wrote. It is the kind of place you want to patronize because of the food they serve as well as support for local family owned businesses. Glad to hear they made it through the high season but they will definitely need local support to make it through this economy to the next high season. I tout the place to friends and family that live in the area and plan on visiting them when I come down.
I agree with everything that the OP (and stuartlafonda) has said. First, by way of bona fides, I am a retired hotel general manager that has spent 35 years running hotels in the Caribbean. My wife and I just returned from lunch at Bamboo Fire. First, the hospitality could not have been better. The owners are wonderful people. We had several appetizers and all were excellent. My wife had the jerk chicken fajita and I had the curry chicken. Superb. The food is authentic and the heat level can be regulated to your preference. Personally, I like mine "native style". By the way, they were open last Wednesday night but had to move indoors because of the weather. They took all of the furniture from the outside. Donald, Beverly's husband told me that there was a large group from Chowhound there on Tuesday, a night that they are usually closed. Don't miss this place if you want authentic Caribbean cuisine.
Just had a wonderful lunch at Bamboo Fire yesterday. When I arrived saturday night, the strip at Delray seemed quite plastic to me, the same trendy moneyed people i see everywhere wanting to see and be seen. Thank goodness that dickinboca posted about Bamboo Fire--- i brought the phone number with me. I ate there Sunday afternoon and the food and service were beyond my expectations. Beverly and Donald could not have been more gracious or knowledgeable. The jerk chicken was moist, aromatic and spicy in the best way. The curry pork chop was succulent, and the extra gravy was appreciated. Sides included perfectly caramelized plantains, sauteed cabbage and colorful bell peppers, and rice and peas. All washed down with ginger beer. I arrived hungry, and the lunch saved me from having to lecture about food on an empty stomach. Although I live in Tampa, and Delray is just not my style, I will return for more Bamboo Fire.
re: andy huse
Hi Andy:
I think you were sitting at the table next to me. Glad you enjoyed your lunch.
re: Alfred G
funny, because i noted your chowish comments throughout the meal. it remains a great memory--- i only wish i'd brought my camera.
re: andy huse
we were at Bamboo Fire last Saturday night I'm not going to start raving again about how wonderful a evening we had since to go through all that again might be just a bit redundant But the Goat deserves mention: our Goat eating virgins( i mean they had never tasted nor thought they would ever want to taste Goat) are now Goat fans i believe that's because Beverly cooked it perfectly The fact that today's NYTimes food section "discovers" Goat just proves once again that the seniors of Boca/Delray are still at the cutting edge of something,maybe Do yourself a favor and get to Bamboo Fire and when you go just relax, take your time and enjoy
re: dickinboca
I"m heading to I-Drive in Orlando this weekend (Peabody Hotel), but I hope to hit Bamboo Fire next weekend. It will be nice to dine outdoors while the weather is nice. And I've never had goat. It will take a lot to get me away from the jerk chicken!
I'm not a huge fan of jerk or Caribbean curries, but I'll give it a try when I'm in the mood.
That said, my eyes nearly bugged out of my head when I saw guava cheesecake! I can't even begin to imagine how wonderful that must taste because it sounds amazing!
