I just fell in love with Jason Falls.
It's not because I'm unhappily married (my husband and I are two and a half years strong!) but because I finally got closure on how to use social media to my advantage, thanks to a random coffee "date" with the CEO of Louisville-based social media consulting firm, Social Media Explorer.
I'm fairly Facebook-literate, and tend to spend copious amounts of time on Pinterest (frankly, it's ruining my life). But between Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, MySpace, Etsy, Google Plus, eHarmony, Classmates, Trip Advisor, Flickr – and don't even get me started on blogging – I am flat out exhausted with trying to keep up with the latest form of social media interaction.
Jason Falls understands my frustration and claims that the reason for my lack of enthusiasm toward these social outlets is simply my lack of knowledge.
Falls believes understanding how social media works is pivotal in making it work to your advantage. He should know: He is currently number 7 on the Forbes Magazine list of "Top 10 Influencers in Social Media."
When Falls broke away from Doe-Anderson in 2009 to spearhead his consulting firm, Social Media Explorer, he was already aware of how much more encompassing and pivotal the social media scene was going to become.
Today, with his business partner, Aaron Marshall, they educate clients on aspects of social media marketing and digital marketing. This involves huge commitment, as Social Media Explorer currently conducts seminars and lectures across the country.
Falls also is considered a social media guru on the international level, forging relationships with some of the biggest networking sites.
Simply put, the Pikeville-born and Louisville-bred homebody is a big deal.
We sat down with Falls recently to see if some of his saviness could rub off on us.
What is one of the biggest mistakes that people make in using social media?
Beer pong pictures on Facebook. What possesses people to do that? No pictures have ever been deleted from Facebook, so just be smart. You don't go to a job interview and tell them what you like to drink, so why would you put that in a virtual forum where there's a permanent record of things you've done? It's public; you need to treat it that way. Don't post anything you wouldn't want your grandma to see.
What are some tangible ways people can use social media to land a job?
Find good contacts around the topic you want a job in. If you're into life insurance, find good resources about life insurance, share good articles and connect with people that are passionate about the same things you are. The more visible you are within the industry you want to be, sharing good content and also interacting with people, the more credible you're going to look.
What's an outlet that you strongly feel more people should take advantage of?
Blogging. Blogging is one of the most powerful mechanisms. It shows off your expertise and it puts out content for the search engines to find. It's essentially a very easy way to stay relevant while simply being self-absorbed in your interest. And then network from there – if you can have Dave Ramsay link to your finance blog, you have tons more readership. So write smart stuff. Be consistent. Make sure that everybody in your field knows who you are! Be that obnoxious guy that shows up everywhere. When I first started, I went to all the conferences and took leaders out for a beer just to connect with them. Who's going to refuse a free drink?
What social media do you find surprising?
Pinterest. Who saw that one becoming so big? But how cool that someone can literally put up a picture and in seconds it's transferred to a database connecting millions of completely different readers. I think in Pinterest specifically there's going to be more of a social network in which people pin things that they want to buy. But if you're a marketer, especially a retailer, you can pin up pictures of your product, which will link back to where they can buy them and then you can use coupons or promotions to entice the customer. A company that will benefit from using it is one that's extremely visually driven. If you have a product that connects your business with a photograph, then that's the way to go.
What can I do to make my blog, my Twitter account, my Etsy shop, etc. more influential?
Read, read, read! I cannot emphasize this enough. Read magazines, newspapers – anything to get specific information in your field. But be sure to have a balanced diet of things you're reading. Read something "smart" like The New York Times instead of Us Weekly. There's a reason people plateau – there's no new ideas coming from them. Stay on top of what's current and what's coming and make the information your put out something better.
What can we expect in the near future from Social Media Explorer?
We're always doing our client consulting, whether it is in person, conference calls or virtual webinar-type things. But something exciting that's getting ready to take off is our "Explore" consulting event that we're holding in five different cities: Dallas, Nashville, Minneapolis, Irvine and Portland. We'd love to do one in Louisville, but there's not a reputation for that kind of event here, so we're trying to build that reputation in order to make Louisville the hub for this. In the extremely near future, I'm going to drink a ton of coffee.

Reviewed By: J Thomas Davis on 6/2/10
I have worn these on several rides now. The days were sunny and fairly warm and the arm protectors did the job. Arms stayed relatively cool and definitely did not get sunburned. Only issue pertains to the band at the top. It irritated my arm at first then I started turning it in so the cloth was against my skin instead to the elastic strip and it stayed in place and was very comfortable.
Reviewed By: A customer from Vancouver, BC Canada on 6/29/10
I bought these after looking at a few other brands and am glad I did. So far, they have provided me with great coverage on longer rides without making me overheat. They actually help to cool my arms! Have washed a few times and they are quite durable. Highly recommended.
Reviewed By: Michael Stucky on 5/5/11
Pros: cool and comfortable. Even though I'm adding a layer of material my arms feel cool when I am moving. This is much better IMHO than using sunscreen. The sleeves are easy to put on and comfortable to wear, I put them on and forget about them. Cons: a little short. I am 6'2" and usually wear size large jerseys, so following the sizing suggestion I purchased the sleeves in size large. To keep from having a gap between the top of the sleeves and my jersey my wrists are not completely protected. I guess I could size up to an extra large but am concerned that they would be too loose fitting on my arms.
Reviewed By: A customer from San Diego/Chula Vista on 7/12/11
The arm protectors work great in San Diego for riding along the coast on sunny days. They are a little too long (I ordered LARGE), I have pull them up a little. I guess I will order the mediums next time.

Photo is nice and perfect timing .. also what i liked the most is the description of the photo.
Main Content
Brilliant photo!
This is a great photograph that truly does showcase our society's ability to shut out the surrounding world and enter a digital one simply by checking a cell phone. What makes this specifically interesting comes from a point another reader made when they pointed out this train actually is an attraction that simulates a submarine ride. The fact of the matter is we can become so wrapped up in technology that we turn to it and often miss remarkable moments in the world around us. This photo shows that while people may be considered more social and connected than ever with the help of technology, it also can detach us from traditional human connections and the world around us.
Great photo. People being observed by camera without noticing.
Great color.
I just keep wondering what is more interesting than the very thing going on in the..... "RIGHT NOW." She seems totally apart from the rest of the people as exemplified by the faint blue aura around the girl. So many things to think of in this Photo, many layers of thought. So many millions of people alone and apart from the crowd! Photo provides much" food for thought".
Maybe it needs mentioning, but maybe it doesn't, but this 'train' is actually an attraction that shows a simulated submarine ride while the train itself goes through a tunnel to the other end of the park. What fascinates me is the woman's lack of desire to enjoy the imagery provided while experiencing the attraction. It's like sitting in line for a Disneyland ride and then texting the whole time you are on it.
Hey Brian -- really great photo. As mentioned by earlier comments, the girl, I'm assuming by coincidence, stands out and I love the blue hue.
Let me know if I can use this in my blog w/credit -- whitespace.on.ca
Amazing how in this jam packed image, the girl almost stands alone…. great shot, congrats
Stunning shot, although I would tend to think we are tempted to 'run away' as you put it, somewhat too often - life itself is being in the moment, we should remember this too, time doesn't forget and pushes onwards, relentlessly. Exactly, she's there without being there, the glow remains.
The contrast of light is so definate, and makes the shot. Then the crowded tram makes for a really good clear picture, framing it all in place. Cell phones now, do allow one to' slip away' for a while! So do computers, thoughts, and other things too. The young woman is oblivious to the crowds around her, we know that, and I count her lucky, because she is! j.e.s.......
"She managed to slip away for a short moment, a node flickering on the social web, roaming the Earth, free as a butterfly. Our existence is no longer stuck to the physical here—we're free to run away, and run we will."
This is a fantastic description for today's life.
Beautiful contrasts of light!
This shot exemplifies how our world has changed with technology. Eerie and very fascinating.
This is very cool
"Our existence is no longer stuck to the physical here..." that's so true, nowadays, people are even more "out there" than in physical here.
Thanks for the great shot Bryan! ;)
There's a strange feeling in this shot, though it is warm at the same time! Nice shot! Thank you Brian.
Lives jammed together but so separate.
@Bev Hennager I think so. It is a reason why social nets are so popular.

Trojan Volleyball Earns AVCA Team Academic AwardAugust 4, 2014
LEXINGTON, Ky. – On the eve of the 2014 season, the Anderson University volleyball team has again been recognized for academic excellence, as the squad earned an AVCA Team Academic Award, as announced by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) on Monday.
"I continue to be impressed with this group of young ladies," said Anderson head coach Craig Mosqueda. "They continue to work hard on and off the court and juggle everything else involved in being a student-athlete."
Anderson was one of 94 NCAA Division II teams to earn the honor nationally, along with five other teams from the South Atlantic Conference (Carson-Newman, Catawba, Newberry, Tusculum and Wingate).
The 2013-14 edition of AU volleyball saw every player post at least a 3.1 cumulative GPA for the academic year, en route to the team achieving an overall 3.48 GPA. Standouts Meghan Cautero and Shannon Gillespie were named Capital One Academic All-District, with Cautero going on to notch Third-Team Academic All-America accolades.
The Trojans also got the job on the court, as well, with Anderson earning its' first-ever NCAA Tournament victory in just the program's second NCAA Tournament appearance.
The award, which was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.
"Too often athletic participation is associated with academic underachievement and this stereotype is simply false when it comes to volleyball," said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. "Couple the smarts represented by these teams with the competitive experience and team-focused training gained on the court and we have a potent formula for future leadership! What a significant contribution that is by their coaches and schools."
The AVCA Team Academic Award has become one of the AVCA's fastest growing awards programs, seeing an impressive surge in teams honored over the past several years. Since the 2000-2001 season, the number of recipients have increased every single year but one, while amassing an overall 500% increase over the span of the last decade. Since the award's inception in 1993, the amount of award winners has increased from 62 to its current number of 676.
The Trojans depart early Tuesday morning for a weeklong mission trip to Costa Rica before returning to prepare for their season opener on Sept. 5 versus the host Knights at the Bellarmine Invitational

TEMPLE (October 1, 2012)--The Temple/Killeen/Fort Hood U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Area ranked 20th in the best small metro college destinations for the 2012-2013 academic year according to an American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) evaluation.
The destinations are selected based on academic environment, quality of life and professional opportunities.
Academic environment includes student diversity and degree attainment while quality of life refers to the cost of living, arts and leisure, city accessibility and creative class.
Professional opportunities encompass earning potential, entrepreneurial activity, and unemployment rate.
75 areas were ranked in order of achievement based on a larger evaluation of the 227 U.S. MSAs with student populations of 15,000 or more.
This was the first time the Temple/Killeen/Fort Hood made the list.
AIER was founded in 1933 and published their first AIER College Destinations Index in 2008.

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying or the problem you're having. It is difficult to render assistance when your explanation involves terminology that may only make sense to you, the submitter.
I would encourage you to use more specific terms. E.g., "I have a SimpleContainer that I'm placing in a Viewport and then adding to the RootPanel. In this SimpleContainer, I add a HorizontalLayoutContainer and add two widgets: one is a custom widget that does xxx, and the other is a yyy. The problem I am having is that when I do zzz, I am unable to ..."
Please rephrase your issue so that we, the community can provide better assistance. In essense:
What is your main view?
What is your main presenter?
What is your child view?
What is your custom view?

If there's one word that best summarizes performances by area football players during Week 6, it's this: Playmaker.
Indian Creek's Alex Young topped the weekend charts. He accounted for 321 total yards and five touchdowns as the Redskins moved to 5-1 with a 54-22 Buckeye 8 win over Union Local.
The senior ran for 132 stripes and three scores on just four carries, passed for 99 and raced 90 yards with a Jets kickoff for another six-pointer. Just for good measure, he added a 20-yard field goal. Young finished the homecoming game with 32 points, allowing him to become the scoring leader in the Herald Star/Daily Times coverage area. He now has 66 points on the season.
Creek will hit the road Friday, traveling to Martins Ferry for a key Buckeye 8 battle.
Harrison Central's Maurtice Hython became the first local running back to top the 1,000 yard mark for the season thanks to his great night against Edison.
The senior tailback toted the ball 35 times against the Wildcats for 330 yards and four scores.
During the second half, when the Huskies wore down Edison, he compiled 230 stripes and all of his touchdowns. For the season, Hython has 1,071 yards on 132 trips, an average of 8.3 stripes per carry.
Madonna juniors Ross Comis and Nick Ossman accounted for three touchdowns each as the Blue Dons blitzed visiting Bridgeport 55-0.
Comis scored on runs of 23 and 17 and connected with fellow junior, Marcello Biondillo for a 51-yard touchdown pass.
Ossman had scoring runs of 23, 11 and 26. His touchdown jaunts came on three consecutive carries.
Madonna has a date this week with Bishop Donahue in Moundsville.
"They are a well-coached, physical team so we're going to have to buckle up or chinstraps and get ready for that one," Blue Don coach Doug Taylor said.
Senior quarterback and veteran playmaker Alec Buchmelter had a hand in all five scores as Brooke cracked the victory column for the initial time via a huge 34-33 win at Point Pleasant.
The Big Blacks entered the game unbeaten and were ranked fourth in the West Virginia Class AAA poll.
Buchmelter scored four times on runs of five, 28, two and one. He also hit freshman Thomas Cole for 51 yards and another touchdown.
The Bruins were down 27-14 at the half and scored the game winner late in the final period.
Sean Blumette, Brooke's first year coach, called the victory "a great team win against a very solid football team.
"We did it as a team, as a program and we did it the right way. We went back to what Brooke football is. We pulled one out in the fourth quarter and that is something that's always been a trademark of Brooke."
Toronto running back Chez Glenn isn't quite as big as Hython but his effort in Saturday's 48-28 come-from-behind victory over Bellaire St. John was huge.
The junior ran for 73 yards on 13 carries and crossed the goal three times. In addition, he grabbed four passes from little brother Blaze for another 82 stripes and a score. The Glenn brothers combined on a 53-yard scoring strike that helped Toronto outscore the Irish 27-0 during the fourth period.
Senior Joey Chadwick also flashed his playmaker skills as the Red Knights grabbed their second straight win. He recorded two pass interceptions and returned both for touchdowns (going 62 on one and 30 on the other).
Weir High found a young playmaker in Friday's 33-12 loss to Oak Glen in the form of sophomore wide receiver Jonathan Rice. He caught two scoring passes from sophomore quarterback William Larch. Both touchdowns came on spectacular plays.
Larch hit the open Rice in full stride down the right sideline at Jimmy Carey Stadium. One went for 69 yards and the other for 82.
The smallest of the weekend's big playmakers had to be Catholic Central's Johnny DiCarlantonio. The junior slot is listed at 5-6, 125. Both vital stats might be a stretch.
In Saturday's 54-7 win over Conotton Valley, DiCarlantonio caught two Brenton Colabella aerials for 85 yards. His second grab resulted in a 73 yard score.
Colabella found his classmate open over the middle. DiCarlantonio avoided several Rocket defenders, broke a tackle and motored to the house.
Where they stand:
Four local teams remain in the hunt for Ohio playoff berths thanks to Week 6 victories.
Big Red is sixth in Region 21 of Division III, according to information released Sunday by Joe Eitel, Ohio's computer rankings guru. Alliance Marlington continues to lead the region with Millersburg West Holmes second and Zanesville Maysville third.
Reno Saccoccia's club faces a tough assignment this week when Youngstown Ursuline visits Harding Stadium. The Irish are 3-3 but have lost to unbeaten Zanesville, Lakewood St. Edward and Erie Cathedral Prep.
Indian Creek is 10th in the region.
Harrison Central is holding the sixth spot in Region 15 of Division IV. St. Clairsville now leads the region after Ironton, the previous leader, was knocked off by Johnson Central, Ky.
Martins Ferry, which will host Creek this week, is fifth.
Central remains seventh in Division VI's Region 21. Mogadore is No. 1 and Malvern holds the two spot. The Crusaders could help their cause this week by knocking off 4-2 Barnesville, which ranks ninth in Region 17 of Division V.
Leading the state:
Colabella had another huge night, throwing for 304 yards and four touchdowns, in the win over Conotton Valley. The game was called because of bad weather after three quarters. Colabella, however, was watching from the sidelines long before the storm hit.
In addition to leading quarterbacks in the Herald Star/Daily Times coverage area, Colabella also is No. 1 one among Division VI signal callers in the state.
Through six weeks, Central's all-time passing leader has thrown for 1,613 yards (he's hit on 97 of 158 attempts for a 61 percent completion rate) and 21 touchdowns. His main competition at the state level is Ada's Mason Acheson, who has tossed for 1,299 stripes.
His favorite target, Zack Herrington, leads the division in receptions (27) and is second in yardage (485). He also tops the Division IV ranks with eight TD receptions. Kyle Laukert, who along with Ryan Fletcher has 18 catches, is third in the state with 375 receiving stripes.
Thanks to Mother Nature, the Crusaders have missed three quarters of play.
Top stats:
Running wild: 330, Hython, Harrison Central, four touchdowns; 157, Tyler Steed, Oak Glen, two touchdowns; 132, Young, Indian Creek, three touchdowns; 80, Teshawn Luke, Big Red, touchdown; 79, Ossman, Madonna, three touchdowns; 74, Comis, Madonna, two touchdowns; 73, C. Glenn, Toronto, three touchdowns.

I accidentally ran rm -rf /* on my Ubuntu 10.10 and canceled the command quickly then. Although I was not sudo but a lot of my files were deleted. The system has become less responsive and I am not sure how to fix it. For instance, I reinstalled firefox and it solved many firefox issues but right click is very sluggish. Deluge keeps on pulling up CPU usage (1 core) to 100%. Shutter is also a bit weird in terms of responsiveness.
Is there anything I could do to repair everything? Like reinstalling every installed package and Ubuntu files.

Why? What has he accomplished that warrants an extension?Hide replies
He got Skiles to leave?
No the players did. Did you watch the 2nd half of the Houston game? Skiles lost the team. Mutiny. That's my opinion.
I do not post much, but...I was at the Houston game. That was a disgrace. Skiles managed that game to lose. The bucks were playing well in the 2nd quarter with Ersan, Dunleavy, you know, the decent players. Up at 11 at half. For the first 11 minutes of the third quarter, it was Udoh and LRM, Udrih, I think jennings, and some other stiff. The rockets were killing Udoh and LRM. Ersan, Dunleavy and others on the bench. Game over. Ersan and Daniels, who got a DNP for some strange reason, and Dalembert just looked at each other around the 4 minute mark in the third quarter after a timeout and shook their heads. By the way. LRM is not a NBA players. He is not even a decent defender. Just watch him in person. He just reaches and fouls when we need a stop. ala T Prince in the Detroit game. We have to get over guys like LRM are good, they are not. Anyway, that third quarter was a disgrace by an NBA coach. Yes, he coached to lose. That game was in the win column.
Same old, same old.
Easily the best GM under Kohl's ownership, fixed the Harris mess, and does things that make sense with $$$ and players, I like JH. Never was a fan of Skiles, but he was what the team needed at the time a defensive minded coach.
While I don't think that Hammond is a world beater by any means, I am an advocate of giving him a two-year extension. Why? Because this team cannot continue in neutral and is at a point where it can be reconstructed. Having him stay as lame duck could hurt the organization greatly. My condition for the extension would be that he guts the team - it cannot win as constructed. There are some decent pieces that have trade value, but they don't fit together.
The future of the team is Harris, Lamb, Henson, and Sanders. Other players that may have value going forward are Udoh, Ilyasova and maybe Luc. Ellis is not going to stay. He needs to be moved. Jennings, while a decent player, has not shown consistent development in his game. He's the kind of guy that is fun to watch and productive on a crappy team. He should be moved to avoid the trap of signing him this summer. Dalembert and Gooden could have value to contenders. Offers for Udrich, Dunleavy, Ilyasova, Udoh, and Luc should be considered. They need to get young and athletic. OKC tore down everything when they traded Ray Allen. Look where they are a few years later. Scrapping for a 6-8 seed in the east is no man's land. Not good enough to push contenders, not bad enough to get the draft picks to improve. Plus, we've been here for so long! It doesn't work.Hide replies
Good post, although having Durant to build around was helpful.
I agree, generally. This roster needs to be shaken up. A lame duck GM will not do that, except to potentially sacrifice the future to ensure a playoff spot this season, which is certainly not in the best interest of the team. I disagree slightly on Jennings. At his current salary ($3.2 million), Jennings is definitely a good value to the team. I think he is still a good value at $7 million a year, especially when you look at his Estimated Win Value. Once we get into the $10 million / year range, I don't like him on the Bucks. But I am not convinced he will get an offer like that in the offseason, so the Bucks may be able to retain him in the $7-$8 million range.
Agree we should trade the vets, especially Ellis & Jennings, for picks. As a small market team, our only hope is to win big in future lottos. We don't need Hammond to do that.
Eddie - they don't get Durant if they draft 8-14 . . . .
Badgers - I'm guessing that Jennings will get a contract in the $12m plus (4 yrs - $48-52M) range this offseason. That is a mistake of Salmons/Gooden proportions.
I agree that signing Jennings to a contract in the 4 / 48 range would be a mistake. I don't think he gets a contract that big, though.
Wasn't Allen traded after Durant was drafted?
Not positive, but the team was torn down to the core. You might be right because Ray was hurt the last year in Seattle, which is probably why they were bad enough to be top 2 in the draft.
before you sign that extension, John, please fix this problem that you have created:
"Late last season, the Golden State Warriors traded Monta Ellis to the Milwaukee Bucks for Andrew Bogut. Ellis had led the Warriors in scoring for the past three seasons.
But there was something insidious about Ellis' scoring. He was using up too much of the offense. Perhaps that's why they were 23-43, two games out of last place in the West.
Last season, Ellis had the seventh highest usage rate ("percentage of offensive possessions used by a player during his time on the floor") in the NBA (per HoopData.com). Of those seven players, Ellis had the lowest shooting percentage.
Who were the others? Kobe Bryant, Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade. Now those are players that merit a very high percentage of their team's possessions. Ellis, on the other hand, is dead weight." Bleacher Rapport
Loved letting go of Skiles... Hate that they are extending Hammond. Enjoy the 8 seed or worse year after year, Bucks.Hide replies
That's not Hammond, that's kohl
Who else are the Bucks going to get? With their ownership situation in question and frankly, because steps have not been taken to address the arena, the location of the franchise in question, this isn't exactly a destination job. There are things that need to be worked out here.
I appreciate the Senator. He saved basketball in Milwaukee 25 years ago. But, to save it again, he needs to get some plans in place.
It doesn't really matter anyways. The Bucks will NEVER win a title in this era. For the last 30 years, only 9 different teams have won a title. That means that 2/3 of the league is basically irrelevant, other than to get whooped up on by those 9 or 10 teams.
Boo Hoo. If OKC can compete, why not the Bucks?
He's done a fine job as a GM who has to deal with an owner who is afraid he'll die during the rebuild so would rather make a year in year out push for the 8 seed(that generally falls just short). Trading bogut for Ellis was a good trade that has had us play above .500 ball since his arrival. the Stephen jackson trade was very favorable when it happened. Maggette same thing. He has drafted very well besides Joe Alexander. The problem is like I said, he has to deal with an owner who doesn't want to rebuild despite the fact that we're not good enough the last 10 years. take a chance on demarcus Cousins. A young bonified allstar candidate if he's in the right situation. We need youth. If the trades of all these lame duck contracts for players that could really help playoff contenders don't bring in youth and draft picks then this team won't go anywhere. Miami wants Dalembert. Everyone wants Ellis. Beno would be perfect for the Lakers or many other playoff teams. Dunleavy would be a great addition to any of them as well. Gooden and Daniels have value as well. How can that not bring in Youth and draft picks? He makes the youth and draft pick trades and he deserves an extention.Hide replies
I totally agree with dealing veteran players . . . but. What can Miami give for Dalembert? Who wants Ellis? I'd love to see Ellis dealt. I haven't seen any rumors suggesting teams are beating down the door to get him. What are the Bucks going to get for Gooden? His contract, although not awful, is not great either. Daniels isn't bringing back anything of value. The two guys who could be valuable trade chips are Dunleavy and Beno. Again, though, what are you thinking the Bucks will get back? And please don't say picks in the 2013 draft, because it is going to be very weak.
Miami's looking @ a cheaper option 'BirdMan'
If Hammond and Kohl can agree on a plan to blow up the team and rebuild from the ground up, so be it. I think Hammond has done a decent job. As noted below, you don't get Kevin Durant drafting 8-12 - you get Joe Alexander, Brandon Jennings and Larry Sanders. Alexander was a mistake. Extending Salmons and Gooden were mistakes. But, he's done an ok job of correcting Salmons. If Ellis was 6'6", the Bogut trade would be great.
And if Bogut wasn't always hurt, it would have been a bad deal. What's your point?
Today's NBA requires stars to win. Jennings isn't. Bogut wasn't. Ellis isn't. The last time the Bucks were good, they had a legitimate star in Allen, a b-level star that could drop 30 anytime in Big Dog and a top point guard in Cassell. None of the guys you mentioned is even in Cassell's league, and he was the least valuable. Bogut's value was overstated by a dearth of centers in the league.
However they need to do it, they need star level talent. They need to lose 60 games.
If Bogut hadn't been injured all the time, the trade never would have happened. So, what's your point?
Boylan interview with Paschke.
First thing for sure is putting Ersan in the starting lineup and getting him more minutes, get him going.Hide replies
That's a start, he can take 15 of the 40 Static Duo shots away from them.
Skiles tried to start Ersan, and Ersan refused to start. He likes coming off the bench
Maybe he just needed to be asked, with a smile?
Hammond is an asset to this team. However, until those in upper management stop being satisfied/striving for a 7-8 seed and calling that season a success the team will continue to lose fan support and money
Sounds like Kohl wants Hammond to have the hammer to bust some moves before the trade deadline. I expect some showcasing will be on the agenda for the next month or so.Hide replies
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!
Nice update with the 'V' for victory, Fandom.
Thanks, Wingnut.
Obviously it would've been best for the Bucks & Skiles to part ways when he asked for the buyout last spring, but Kohl didn't believe Skiles was due the full price of his contract to go golf in Hawaii and Skiles wouldn't accept less. The predictable result was a wasted season.
Tickets starting at .99 cents for tonight's game on Stubhub.
Would be nice to get a good atmosphere in the arena for tonight's game of the new Bucks.
I'm fine with this. I'm guessing he'll choose Kelvin Sampson as the coach after the season ends. Once he signs the extension, watch for trade galore. Nobody is untouchable.

Do you buy brand name or generic over-the-counter medications?
I usually buy generic brands, unless I can find the brand name on sale for less.
Ibuprofen (Advil) Like Advil Liqui-gels. If not on sale, generic.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Generic
Allergy (Benadryl) Generic
Aspirin (Bayer) Generic
Cold relief (Ny-Quil) Generic
Stomach - liquid (Mylanta) Generic
Stomach - tablet (Tums) Generic
I've had really good luck w/generic brands. I think I've saved a small fortune buying them. Anyone else use them, or do you stick w/brand names?
23 Answers answer
I nearly always buy generics, except for one item, used long ago, where a difference in the inactive ingredients seemed to reduce the product's effectiveness for me compared to the name brand version.
Other than that one instance, I've never been able to detect a difference except for price.
My dad was a pharmacist and I grew up working in the pharmacy (not chain). He was and I still am a bit of a snob on medications. I'll often buy the name brand. I know generics are usually the same but they also sometimes don't have the same quality of ingredients.
An example is the steroid eye drops I have to use periodically to take care of a reoccurring problem. Most recent drops weren't working and the ophthalmologist asked to see them. They were generic. He said they were no good and I needed to get the Pred Forte, not generic. He wrote a new prescription specifying no substitution and my eye problem cleared up promptly.
I'm with @thunderthighs on this one. I had a pharmacist substitute a generic antibiotic for the erythromycin that the doctor prescribed, and I nearly ended up in an emergency room. I take almost no medication (unless you want to count things like Calcium and Vitamin D), but I seldom take generics over their name brand counterparts. It's my money (I pay for anything medical out of my own pocket), so I get to make the choice. When I still worked, and had medical insurance, my doctor always wrote no substitutions. He was my hero.
Even when it comes to prescription meds, I will buy the generic if my doctor recommends it will as effective as the brand name.
@thunderthighs: I know there's been a lot of talk on both sides of the generic vs brand name of prescription products. Don't take any of those, though. I mentioned OTC 'cause that's how I self-medicate. ;-)
Do you buy generic OTC? I'm thinking they're pretty much the same. Have asked a few pharmacists & they agree - ingredients the same & in the same amount. <---not scientific at all! ;-)
@gmwhit: Not very often. I will on occasion for Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and my allergy meds. My pharmacists agrees with most generics as well. Again, I'm a bit of a snob though.
Generic for sure.
It really depends on the medication. Benadryl or Tylenol I'll go generic. Stuff like nasal sprays, eye drops, etc - I will go with brand name. As far as Rx's go, I go with whatever my insurance makes me take. Often it isn't even a generic, it is a "therapeutic equivalent."
I usually buy whichever is cheaper, usually the generic.
I bought generic Pepto-Bismol once, though. It wasn't emulsified well, and it was awful. Never again.
Well I don't like taking any OTC med, or even meds in general. but have found that some things that I dont like to take the chance on. Long Term Antacids, IE Prevacid, or prilsec etc, it never seems to work right when I try the generics, of those, but aspirin, and acetometaphin etc, I can handle generics, but using sams club or coupons I normally get the a name brand when I get it
I go for the name-brand pharmaceuticals. They invested the funds, did the research, etc. I tend not to buy "store label" stuff in the grocery store either.
@redspecial: It's my understanding that generics are actually made by the big pharmas. Ditto the store brand food. Less cost w/o the high price packaging & advertising. Probably not true in all cases. And, "I could be wrong." Thank you Dennis Miller. ;-)
@gmwhit: Laughing at my own comment... Big pharmas do NOT make store brand food, okay? ::snort:: Hoping everyone knew what I meant. Or laughed w/me. (Picturing Jolly Green Giant aspirin.)
For pharma stuff, I go with Store Branded generics, because I rarely take medicine. Any dose of the "weak" stuff is enough for me.
I look at the active ingredients/amounts in the brand name stuff. Then I find the generic/store brand version with the same ingredients. I'll buy whichever is on sale/cheaper per dose.
In looking at labels, I've noticed that a lot of brands sell the exact same active ingredients (and dosage) in different packaging/salesy-name at different price points. Like CVS has 4 different types of ibuprofen pain relief marketed as different things (for headaches, for menstural cramps, for muscle aches, etc.), but it's the same ingredients in the same amounts. Gotta love marketing.
@gmwhit: Jolly Green Giant Aspirin - there is no way I'm swallowing THAT!
Generic all the way, whether it's aspirin or green beans. Never met a name brand I actually preferred. But then again we grew up without a lot of money, and my Mom bought the original generics. Anyone remember the plain white labels with the big black letters?
To meet FDA standards, generics must meet a threshold of within 15% +/- of the expected therapeutic effect of the brand name drug they are formulated to match with. In studies, I think most generics sold in the US are closer to 95-99% therapeutic equivalence. I've always opted for generics, and I've never seen enough difference for it to matter. Other studies have found that the variance between batches of drugs of the same brand can be greater than the differences between the brand name and the generic.
Studies also find that if you trick yourself into thinking your generics are brand name, they tend to work better, perhaps as good as brand name, such as refilling your brand name bottles w/ generic drugs, and trying to forget you did that. Save yourself some money and trust the science. Try tricking yourself or sincerely believe that generics are the equivalent of brand names and you might never see the difference.
Depends on the medication...
Ibuprophen, pepto-bismol, Sudafed, etc I always get generics.... same for allergy pills.
The only exception to this is when I get Mucinex DM Max... There is no generic version of this pseudo-ephedrine packed chest cold Jackhammer of a drug. Usually, I pop no more than 4 of these over a 2 day period, and I no longer have any sign of the cold that once had me tied in knots.
Generic all the way.
The only thing I take on a regular basis is a stomach acid reducer, and I take the generic version of Pepcid. It costs 1/4 as much and is the same exact thing in the same exact dosage - so why pay more?
Slightly off-topic: I never take pharmaceutical antibiotics, haven't for years. They wreak havoc on the body's natural balance of flora and fauna, causing problems, particularly for women. A few years ago I discovered Goldenseal, an herb that acts as a blood astringent - it slightly alters the blood chemistry long enough to kill any bacteria or virus in the body, and has zero side effects. It's inexpensive and I've used it to treat everything from sinus infection to dermatitis to bronchitis and more. I take a large dose the first day, then a couple of capsules per day until the bug disappears. There's no need to "finish the entire prescription" like with pharma antibiotics, you just take it until you don't have to anymore. Herbal remedies can be miraculously effective.
Generic - the pharmaceuticals have made their profits back covering development costs during the patent protected period, then they try to persuade you that the continuing price premium is justified by some very inventive claims that are just as valid for the generics, like the heart benefits of taking a 'Beyer' rather than aspirin...the cost of the generic reflects the cost of manufacture.
I used to buy generics, because it usually makes good sense. However, I now only buy brand name products because the companies will disclose the inactive ingredients and whether they contain any known allergens - like soy, wheat, peanuts, dairy, etc. For generics, the exact composition of the inactive ingredients may not even be known for sure (although they meet FDA standards.) After having a gluten reaction from a generic version of ibuprofen, I stick with the safer brand names.

Vote Sith Party: Palpatine - Vader '12 T-Shirt for $10
I like to ignore politics from this galaxy.
There's also another politically funny t-shirt, on teefury, that I don't find nearly as good as this one.
21 Comments add a comment
In 4 one, that is awesome - Thanks
Choose Sith Party! If you will not be turned, then you will be destroyed!
Doesn't matter whether you're Right-Wing or Left-Wing, you're all on the same STAR DESTROYER!
Left Wing? Right Wing? I say X-Wing!
Sorry but Palpatine would probably choose Jar Jar as a running mate, Naboo is a swing planet and he needs the electoral college votes. Jar Jar is a war hero and was a former Senator, so he's well versed in the parliamentary procedures employed by the Republic, should he need to cast the tie breaking vote. Also, it doesn't hurt that he'll do anything Palpatine says
Vader has no political experience and is seeking Empire tax dollars to build this "Death Star" - it would put the Empire into trillions of dollars in debt. If the Empire is going to start building death rays and planets that could be mistaken for a small moon when you come out of hyperspeed - I'd prefer a candidate that I feel represents my ideals
@ryanwb: There would have been some upstanding, more democratic candidates, but it seems the majority of them were blown up with their planet.
...Also your comment made me laugh pretty hard. I love silly, dragged-out, on-topic humor.
They're probably the lesser of the evils this election.
I'm voting for Gaius Baltar.
@ryanwb: It's more like quadrillions of tax dollars.
I would think a coalition ticket would work better. Vader/Skywalker 2012 ticket would be nice.
@djrussell: Thanks for the link
Now it's starting to make sense why they left the small thermal exhaust port - they needed the insurance claim. The only other choice was Vader mailing the keys to the Death Star to the mortgage company and walking away - after stealing the dishwashers and stoves and selling them on Craigslist of course.
@djrussell: Wow! So you need to mine the core out of a real moon or small planet for the materials to build it?
Anyway, I think I'll vote for Pedro. He has skills...
Left Wing? Right Wing? I say X-Wing!
@tcanning: You need to MOCK THAT UP RIGHT NOW. Here's my money.
@djrussell: It's more likely the death star would have had to be made out of aluminum or titanium alloys (at least for the outside). Steel becomes brittle in the cold of space and makes for a very poor structural component. =(
@pg318: Yes. When Obi-wan said "That's no moon." he wasn't exactly right.
Just nitpicking, but shouldn't that really be Sidious/Vader or Palpatine/Skywalker? :)
Klaatu! Nikto barada!
site is down :(
@tooter1952: It's "Klaatu barada nikto!" If you are going to quote a movie do it correctly!
Unless you were quoting Army of Darkness, then I would let it slide ...
@ryanwb: Palpatine is also from Naboo so Jar Jar will not help him in that respect. And there is a lot of resentment towards Jar Jar amongst independents for sponsoring the special war powers resolution. The only real advantage he gets from Sen. Binks as a running mate is that he satisfies the constitutional requirement that all Vice Emperor candidates be ludicrously incompetent.

Please excuse my absence from this space for a while. It's been a hectic few weeks, what with my partner-in-crime Ralph Hipp out of town and all! It seems to take away from the time I usually devote to sharing my thoughts in the Blog Zone.
Which got me to thinking this morning about what people care to read these days. Are the days of devoting a few extended paragraphs to a topic over? Or, if someone does take the time to do so, what topics keeps your attention for that extra length of time?
As time got short the past few weeks, I would grab a moment here or there to put a topical sentence on my Facebook status. Sometimes that would generate comment, sometimes it would not. In much the same way, sometimes my blogs generate comment, sometimes they do not. In watching my nephews and their friends, it would seem many of them are more into Twitter than Facebook as a means of communicating these days.
Facebook and Twitter are often in a group called "micro-blogging," where your thoughts are presented in a sentence or two, as opposed to the traditional blogs, like this, that are several paragraphs on a topic. Which are you more inclined to read?
While I myself have neglected the tradional blog the past few weeks, I'll still lean toward a mixture of the traditional and the micro styles - and I'll post links to my longer, traditional blogs on the micro sites so you know they're there.
As I neared the end of writing this, I did a quick search and came across the following article from March 2012 that would seem to support my approach. You can read it if you'd like - http://www.n2growth.com/blog/is-blogging-dead/. If not, I'd appreciate it if you'd continue to visit me in the Blog Zone from time to time!

I remember the phrase "old Norwegian history professor" being offered as a good example of confusion that can arise in certain English phrases, but can't explain it well. (That is, is the professor an old professor that teaches Norwegian history? Is the professor an old Norwegian that teaches history? Is the professor a teacher of old Norwegian history?)
More specifically, I'd like to know if there are other examples of this confusion.

Well, the long-sleeve tees arrived today, and one tote.
The long-sleeve tees are:
Poison, I got two because I ordered one, then ended up with some extra money and bought two more...and managed to get two of the same shirt...definitely selling/trading one
Khione, not too sure about this one...
The tote is:
Over-encumbered and cannot run...not too sure about this one either.
I'm still waiting on my tees, a zip up hoodie, two more totes (ordered separately again, hopefully not another duplicate in the two!), the greeting cards and the pocket prints
Oh, tracking promised them here by Friday, but I got them today. That was a pleasant surprise.
Pull over Hoodie:
I'm not big on Zombie culture, but this serviceable, I guess. I'm just glad I didn't get Chucknorium, like some other people. Speaking of which, neither that nor Zombeer is on Narf's list. I wonder what other designs might be in the mix for the posters I'm still awaiting.
ML Tshirts:
I don't know. It's black, which is better than the Yellow and Creme that my other shirts are on, but it's one of those shirts that people have to peer at to get it, and the joke's not worth the effort, so the other person politely chuckles, and I feel like I have to apologize for wasting their time somehow.
Don't like Lemon, do like cats. Will wear and beware of spaghetti sauce
Another one that I can't find with a watercolor hummingbird and a flower on creme.
Men's large hoodie:
Would love to trade! I'm okay with this design on a $6 shirt but for a $15 hoodie I would rather have something I love. Yes, I am cheap. :/
Ended up getting my hoodie yesterday. Small pullover "coat of no arms". Let me know if anyone wants to trade. It's not bad, but I don't wear black hoodies much!

From the Bride: Our wedding was an amazing expression of our love for one another. From the tears of joy rolling down my cheeks as I walked down the aisle, to my husband singing his vows to me in front of our 170 guests, it was clear to everyone that we were meant for each other. When I put on my wedding dress, I felt so beautiful. It was everything I wanted, giving a vintage feel with the layer of lace under dotted swiss, (which my mother also had on her wedding dress). As for the bridesmaids, each one looked simply beautiful in their dresses as well. We had so many complements on our wedding, including all of the dresses. They added to a wonderful memory, which we will cherish forever. Thank you so much for making the dreams of brides like me come true!

Getting Up To Speed With…Pat Lechner
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Ken O'Neil)
Pat Lechner ended his first year in a Modified by finishing fourth in points in the newly created Northwest Extreme Modified division at Sunset Speedway Park. The Forest Grove driver would have veteran driver Rob Ireland hop in the car a few times with Ireland even putting the mount in victory lane on one occasion. A fun fact about his chassis is that it is homebuilt from the ground up.
Lechner's introduction to racing was when his stepfather was stationed in Hawaii while in the Navy. There both his stepfather Jeff Lewitz and his mother Sue would compete in the Street Stock ranks at the local tracks. It wasn't until about three years ago that Pat Lechner starting racing at SSP after a couple of seasons at Madras Speedway.
Lechner will be back out at Sunset Speedway Park in 2014 possibly around mid-season due to funding. We got a chance to talk to him about the upcoming season, how he got involved into this great sport, and what he would like to accomplish in the future. Now let's get up to speed with Pat Lechner.
Driver: Patrick Lechner
Home Track: Sunset Speedway Park
Hometown: Forest Grove, Oregon
Age: 36
Years Racing: 5
Classification: Northwest Extreme Modified
Team: Privateer Racing
Car: 1
Chassis: Homebuilt
Sponsors: Privateer Racing,
Special Thanks: Sue Lechner (Mother), Privateer Racing Team, Rob Ireland, Family (for putting up with us during the season)
BD: Well Pat what are some of your plans in 2014?
PL: Well I plan to be back out hopefully mid-season due to our budget. I've been tweaking with the chassis and making some improvements that I think will make it go faster. Rob Ireland and I built this car to prove that you can race on a budget and still be competitive all while still having fun.
BD: How exactly did you get your start in racing?
PL: When I was five my mom and stepdad were heavy into racing in Hawaii while he was stationed in the Navy. I remember going out with them to the races and even helping them wash their cars afterwards. They both ran in the Street Stocks and other "Bomber" type cars.
As we moved back stateside I was still into hot rods but not really racing. I didn't go back to the racetracks until I was in the service stationed at Fort Hood down in Texas. I primarily went to races at Baytown (now Royal Purple) Speedway just outside of Houston and ended up working on some race teams.
When I got back up here I started racing Madras in the Street Stock class in a 1968 AMC Javelin. I didn't start hanging around Banks until about three years ago. The first car I ran around there was a 1986 Chevy Camaro and Rob Ireland heard that I had homemade Modified chassis that I was putting together. Just before last season we became friends and with the rest of the Privateer Racing team they helped me build the car.
BD: Rob Ireland drove your car a couple of times how much did that help you?
PL: It actually helped a lot. It was nice since it was my first time in a Modified to have someone with some experience in it and find out what the car needed to make it faster. He also wanted to make sure it was safe for a first time driver.
BD: Why do you chose the #1?
PL: The reason I picked that number was because it was the first budget B-Mod out there, it just kind of fit.
BD: What are some of your goals that you have set for yourself either long or short term?
PL: My short term and long term goals are the same. I just want to be in good running cars and be a competitive team.
Sunset Speedway Park enters the 2014 season with an action packed schedule that you do not want to miss out on.

Gnomeaggedon: What? Hunh? Did you hear the news, BRK has left the building!
Brain: What do you care, you are a Mage writing Mage Blog
Gnomeaggedon: Yeah, but this is BRK!
Brain: /Scoff. You don't even have a Hunter!
Gnomeaggedon: Yes I do, Snowdabow was my first toon!
Brain: Much loved too. When was the last time you played him?
Gnomeaggedon: Ummm 2 servers and 2 releases ago…
Brain: Yeah, see unloved.
Gnomeaggedon: Hey I love Snowdabow, it's just back in those days I was fighting an uphill battle against the Huntard label. I knew what I was doing, I even wrote how to play Hunters on the Guild forums.
Brain: So you shelved your hunter because others were so bad, but you were so good?
Gnomeaggedon: Well, no. But BRK's blog wasn't born back there, an it was hard work keeping up. Along came a major change to Hunters and a server move by all my friends, so Snowdabow was retired.
Brain: But you still love your Hunter….
Gnomeaggedon: You bet, Here Brain look at this…
Gnomeaggedon: See, I love him so much that I have kept him in Halloween gear (just like Pugnacious Priest – and I have another one in Halloween gear too!), and not this last Halloween either, that bat outfit is years old. I still check in on him every month or so… don't ask me why. Just long enough to say hello to him and Altas, not so long that he looses his bat costume.
Brain: That's a scruffy dog with your hunter. Couldn't do better?
Gnomeaggedon: Better? Better than Atlas. My 1st pet, named by my wife, with me from the first day I could tame beasts. Sure he's old, but scruffy isn't fair!
Brain: Whatever, you won't even notice BRK's absence.
Gnomeaggedon: No, no I will miss BRK. BRK is more than a Hunter Blog, more than an institution. He is, or was, an awesome presence in the WoW Blogsphere. I will sorely miss him, but kudos to him for setting the right priorities – I know first hand how difficult that can be… maybe I should follow his excellent example.
Brain: Queue 21 gun salute!
Gnomeaggedon & his brain will miss Big Red Kitty and his brain very much… Take care… live well & long!
Gnomer and Out!

Playing C&C4. When I try to build beyond my unit cap (50) there is a female voice that says, "We need more command posts [or is it:'points'?]." How can I capture more? How can I get the unit cap beyond 50?
Command points are a built-in limit to the number of units you can have at one time. In general gameplay, there is no way to breach the cap - it's 50 command points no matter what you do.
However, if you're not adverse to doing a little bit of modding, you can increase the number of command points on a per-map basis:
Use cheat engine. First, open the CNC 4 process and enter the value of your command points then press new scan. Now change the number command points you have from the game and press next scan. Keep doing this until you get 2 values in the scan list.
Double click on the value and then it will go to the table below. Double click on the value over there and change the value to zero.

Fern Estelle Belzung, 88, passed away May 14, 2013, in Fort Smith. She was born April 16, 1925, to Lee Roy Littrell and Mary Pauline Smith in Springdale.
She grew up in a loving family. Her parents left Arkansas in 1927 to travel to Idaho in a Model T Ford to have a better life. Her father, Roy, would stop when they needed money and find work for a few days on the many farms along the way, making about 15 cents an hour. They would sometimes just park off the road to sleep at night or would get permission to sleep in a barn. Once, when they were in Idaho, one of the cousins stated to her father, Roy, "You had better get the chickens because Pauline is getting ready to go to Arkansas." From 1927 until 1940, Fern said she made at least 13 trips between Arkansas and Idaho, a 2,800 mile round trip. These trips were driven mostly in a Model T Ford, which was 20 horsepower with a top speed of 45 mph, a rough ride with incessant rattling on dirt roads.
Fern grew up in Idaho. In her teenage years, while working in a restaurant in Sun Valley, she met her future husband and the love of her life, Robert "Bob" Belzung. Stationed in San Diego, he was in Idaho on R&R from the Navy. Within a year or so, they married. After her husband was discharged from the service, they decided to move back to Arkansas. In 1948, they moved to Fort Smith where Bob and his family lived. They settled in a comfortable home on 27th Street. By that time, Fern had her hands full raising three small children and taking care of her family. In 1950, they decided to move to a 30-acre farm in Van Buren after her middle child, Bobby, almost got hit by a car that had swerved into the yard where he was playing.
Fern proved to be the catalyst that united the family during this time on the farm. There was laundry to do, children to get ready for school, meals to prepare, homework to be done and chores to be done around the farm. Wait, you say, don't most moms do these things? Yes, but what makes this a little more exceptional is that Fern did these things and more on a farm without the benefit of indoor plumbing and with no drinking water on the premises. All drinking water had to be brought from town in five-gallon glass containers. The well water was not drinkable and was only used for bathing. The family bathed on a regular basis in washtubs after Fern heated pots of water so it would be just right. Then each child, one after the other, would bathe. Fern did laundry in an electric washer with a wringer attached to get excess water out and would then hang the clothes on a line. After the cow was milked each day, she would skim the cream from the top and sell it to the neighbors. Some of it was used to make homemade butter for the family to enjoy. Excess eggs were gathered and also sold for extra money. Her children well remember the homemade biscuits and gravy that were "to die for." She made them on a regular basis. One time, when she cracked one of the fresh eggs, a baby chicken popped out in the skillet. That was a scream the family won't quickly forget. When summer rolled around, a hog or a calf would be killed and butchered. Fern would be right there wrapping and labeling the cuts, making sausage and taking the meat to the freezer, which was located on Rogers Avenue near Ninth Street in Fort Smith. Can't forget the chickens. Fern and her mom, Pauline, would gather several chickens at a time, lop their heads off, boil them until the feathers could be removed, cut them up and take them off to the freezer. She did all of this and more while taking care of her family, going to Lee Creek to swim and have picnics, fish and garden.
After eight years on the farm, Fern was tired and needed a change, so her husband moved the family to Fort Smith in 1959. In 1962, after Fort Chaffee closed, she and her husband moved to Austin, Texas, where he was attached to Bergstrom Air Force Base. In 1965, they lived in Batesville until Bob retired as an inspector with Batesville Mfg. Co. In 1972, they retired in Fort Smith, buying a home where they would live together for the next 40 and 41 years, respectively.
Always putting her family first, Fern made many trips back to Fort Smith from Batesville and Austin. One time, on a trip from Austin to Fort Smith, the pickup overheated coming over the Ouachita Mountains. They simply put the tea and drinks they had made for the trip into the radiator and came on in. For over 60 years, Fern was never far from her husband's side. She was always happiest when her family was around her, enjoying and bonding with each other. She took care of Bob until he died in 2012. She is resting by his side once again. As Proverbs 31:10 states: "A capable wife who can find? Her value is far more than that of corals."
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lee Roy Littrell and Mary Pauline Smith; and her husband, Robert "Bob" Belzung; and a grandson, Stephen Monta Belzung. She is survived by her children, William E. Belzung and wife Salvacion Monta Belzung, Robert Belzung Jr. and wife Nelda Faye Belzung, and Sharon Louise Stewart and husband Raymond Stewart; her grandchildren, Andrew Littrell Belzung, Renee Falloran Arnold, Bobbie Joe Cate and husband Eddie Tate and Monique Ann Belzung; and many aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces.
Graveside service will be 2 p.m. today at Gracelawn Cemetery in Van Buren.
Pallbearers will be Stanley Mullins, Raymond Stewart Jr., Barry East, Billy Ray Gaddis, Tyler East and Dennis Cancel.
Alternate pallbearer will be Jack Garett.

UK Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart sent a letter out yesterday addressed to the Big Blue Nation saying Head Football Coach Joker Phillips has been fired.
Not only has Coach Phillips been an asset for the UK Football Program for the past 22 years, he's also given back to the place his football career began.
Franklin-Simpson High School Principal Tim Schlosser says Joker has come back to Franklin every summer to conduct a camp for the high school football team.
"A lot of times people forget where they come from when they have success and Joker Phillips never did that," he says, "He's a tremendous role model, not only for people across the State of Kentucky, but for the people here in Franklin and Simpson County."
Joker will finish the rest of this season as head coach.

WILDLIFE NEEDS YOUR HELP!Illinois wildlife needs help. Like humans, wild birds, mammals, and other living creatures need space to live and propagate.
Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is working to enhance habitat
on state-owned lands. But, as the new
Wildlife Action Plan makes clear, wildlife's future also
depends on the 95% of
Take time and learn to share your land with wildlife. Your efforts will not only benefit wild animals and plants, but you, your family, and friends for years to come.
Conserving and improving habitat is the key. Help is available to do just that through IDNR's "ILLINOIS ACRES FOR WILDLIFE" program and your local IDNR wildlife biologist.
If your land falls within a specially designated Conservation Opportunity Area identified in the Illinois Wildlife Action Plan, our biologists will also help you learn about special opportunities you may have to assist with the conservation and management of unique wildlife species in greatest need of conservation.
In woodland areas, the plan may suggest changes related to grazing, timber management, the use of prescribed fire, or the control of exotic invasive species. Comparable considerations may be made for wetland and grassland habitats. Expanding existing habitat or developing new habitat will often be a focus of planning. Literature regarding the habits and needs of specific animals or plants may also be provided.Tree Seed or Seedlings. IDNR can often provide native grass and forb seed, or tree and shrub seedlings at no charge for areas you decide to plant or otherwise enhance.

What do you watch on TV? Help define television's future
I am asking because I am to fill out the Nielson survey and I thought I would send in the shows that are most important to this community. I will add any shows garnering 10 upvotes to my watched list. Please choose the show you most want added to the list...not multiple shows. Simply upvote any others.
Nielson may see the most eclectic list ever!
26 Answers answer
The Daily Show
Our TV isn't on much, but when it is my young daughter watches the Disney Jr channel. Her favorite show is Dr McStuffins.
The Walking Dead
Nurse Jackie
The Big C
Whoa, other than The Daily Show, these are shows I've never seen.
Big Bang Theory on occasion, not much on interests me. Only part of the time is it used as a TV, much of its' life it's a big PC monitor.
Somehow Harris & Nielsen think we all spend 3-5 hours every evening watching 'socially relevant programming'. I guess the real question is,
"watching what?".
Ok, since @havocsback didn't follow the rules ;p I'm adding this for The Big Bang Theory.
(I am going to add another show below for myself.)
The Mentalist.
(Of course, I don't actually watch it on TV, if that matters.)
The Colbert Report, but hey I don't get the joke.
Doctor Who
Mad Men
Send me your survey. I watch an exorbitant amount of TV. They keep canceling shows I like. I have always wished to be a Neilsen rater so I could support my shows.
Game of Thrones
I think I need to revise something......
Please feel free to list multiple shows, but in individual boxes. I am sure there are multiple shows people want to see listed, but feel compelled to only pick one. It is the votes that really count, though. I have LOTS of room on the survey. Vote for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want to see renewed
I just did not want multiple shows in one box and not know what was being voted up....
@moondrake: Which shows? My wife and I lose so many a season we call ourselves show killers (Alcatraz, The Finder, Sanctuary, Awake, The River, Memphis Beat, V, The Event, SGU, there a tons more sadly)
Cougar Town
@zaprowsdower: Wow, I can't even think of the most recent batch. In addition to most of the ones you listed, I'll miss Terra Nova and Ringer. Memphis Beat. I think my friend and I were the only ones who watched The Nine Lives of Chloe King. I also watched the Secret Circle. I'll miss Cougar Town, House and Desperate Housewives, but they were getting a bit desperate. Unforgettable was okay and I liked The Forgotten. I loved In Plain Sight, largely because it was set in the southwest. I am weary to death of shows set in NY & LA. It's funny, I dreamed last night that I was upset about missing the (dreamed up) three-part spectacular finale to CSI Miami (and I don't even like that show).
@caffeine_dude: Do you mean Colbert's joke? He's satirizing Bill O'Reilly. (At least, that was the case when he started). I upvoted your post.
Swamp People.
Don't know the length of your rating period, but after Jon Stewart (listed above), I'd pick
Leverage New season starts July 15, may not be timely for your purposes.
The IT Crowd
@moondrake: I forgot all about Ringer. If a show like House or Monk is popular we avoid it and wait for it to end so it won't get cancelled. In fact we are storing up seasons of House on Tivo now that it's concluded. So I am only 8 years behind on that one. Did the same for Monk and 24.
If the votes are still being tallied my wife requested I vote for Person of Interest
I forgot about Person of Interest. It is another of my favorites. (Part of an episode was filmed around the corner from my ex-wife's house.)

I booted a few minutes ago and everything was fine, update manager notified me about new updates so I decided to install them, and then poof, dim/dark screen is back in action.
I did update grub, I did tried to remve fglrx but terminal said I don't even have it installed and the "classical" fix I used is the
sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=01
It does work, but only till I reboot, I had same problem but I added this code before exit 0 from /etc/rc.local [
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local] now it's still here but it doesn't work. I also tried nomode set before booting, it resulted in a crash.
Any ideas how to fix it? And I would also want to know if I can get completely the rid of this thing? It always came back when the computer was idle or when I tried to run things in full screen mode.
Other info: I run it on an Acer Aspire 5732Z with Intel GMA 4500M (graphics accelerator) if this helps.
