Pop Culture Happy Hour
Pop Culture Happy Hour: Set Apart From A Sentence By An Exclamation Point
Listen to Pop Culture Happy Hour
This week, our thoughts are of our adored pal and occasional PCHH fill-in Barrie Hardymon, who mentioned on a podcast last fall that she would be having a baby before long. As that time arrives, we decided on an episode in honor of her cutie patootie of a new baby, in which we talk about everything a little kid could need to grow up strong, smart, and addicted to lots and lots of elements of pop culture. (We were going to officially call it A Barrie Special Episode, but we were afraid you'd all be crushed when you found out that she isn't actually in it, on account of being otherwise occupied.)
So what do we have to offer? We've got great books, old-time radio, Muppets, comics, Pee-wee, catchy grammar jingles, and some very beautiful music.
As if that's not enough, we also take just a couple of minutes — really, just a couple — to talk about last weekend's rather perplexing Oscars, and we wrap up the tale of what ever happened to the "Trey with an 'e,' then Graham like the cracker" song in a spectacular fashion we ourselves could not have predicted until a week ago.
All in all, this show is one of our favorites, and we send it out to all of you, and to our dear pal Barrie and her family, with oodles of good thoughts for all PCHH-ers great and small.
As always, you can follow us on Twitter: follow me, Stephen, Trey, Glen and Mike, and we'll do our best to keep you entertained. You can also find us on Facebook, where we take topic suggestions, answer questions, and lots more.

text: Juan Manuel Santos U.S. Should Aid Colombia's Peace – And Not Repeat Cold War Blunders By Tim Padgett • Feb 4, 2016 Fernando Vergara / AP via Miami Herald COMMENTARY Today, Washington's diplomatic gaze is on Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, who's meeting President Obama at the White House. But as Santos and Obama discuss what looks like an imminent peace accord to end Colombia's half-century long civil war, I hope the Beltway keeps another Latin American head of state in mind: Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega. China Proves Obama Right On Cuba! And Other Top Latin America Stories Of 2014 By Tim Padgett • Dec 30, 2014 As far as I'm concerned, one of the year's most important Latin American stories happened this week in China. Yep, communist China. On Monday the government's Internet watchdragon, known as the Great Firewall, pulled the plug on Gmail because it's a subversive instrument of free speech and dissent. In the process, Beijing affirmed President Obama's historic decision this month to pursue a policy of engagement with communist Cuba. News Of A Kidnapping: Will Colombian Peace Talks Survive? By Tim Padgett • Nov 18, 2014 Presidencia de Colombia Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos recently told WLRN that his government's peace talks with Marxist guerrillas were "at their most difficult moment." After a kidnapping last weekend, we now know what Santos was talking about. Colombian President Fights The "Black Propaganda" Against Peace By Tim Padgett • Sep 30, 2014 Presidencia de Colombia "The problem with Colombia is that we've been fighting a war for three generations and we simply got accustomed to it. What I'm trying to tell the Colombian people is, 'Wake up. We have to be a normal country.'" That was the opening volley from Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos during a wide-ranging and unusually frank interview last week in New York. But there's one slice of our conversation you won't hear on WLRN. Bring Peace To Colombia Or Block Venezuela From A U.N. Seat? Pick One By Tim Padgett • Sep 25, 2014 Pilar Calderon / Presidencia de Colombia Today's international affairs quiz: Would you rather see Venezuela denied a temporary seat on the U.N. Security Council, or would you prefer to see an end to Colombia's eternal civil war? Pick one. Can't have both. That's at least what Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos told me this week during our interview in New York, where he and a host of other heads of state are gathered for the U.N. General Assembly. President Santos Is Colombia's Comeback Kid, Wins Re-Election By Tim Padgett • Jun 16, 2014 C.M. Guerrero / El Nuevo Herald Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos is back from the brink. Polls had indicated he could lose his re-election bid in Sunday's presidential run-off vote. But he won another four years in office – and that also breathes new life into Colombia's peace process. Could Trying To Forge Peace With Guerrillas Cost Colombia's President An Election? By Tim Padgett • May 20, 2014 Semana Any presidential election in Colombia these days is a matter of high stakes. That's because the country – now South America's second-largest economy and the United States' most important ally on that continent – is in the midst of peace talks with Marxist guerrillas known as the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces, or FARC, to end a half-century-long civil war. With Miami's Help, Colombia Trades Battle Lines For Zip Lines By Tim Padgett • Dec 4, 2013 Flickr When I interviewed Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos last year in Bogotá, he crowed about foreign investment pouring into his country. A nation considered a failed, civil war-torn narco-state less than a decade ago was now one of South America's hottest money magnets, doubling its take from the previous year. "This is completely out of anyone's imagination," Santos said.

I love this. I know you wrote this nearly ten years ago and I haven't checked to see if you have written recently but I hope you have. The depth of emotion Georg has for his children, his dead wife and his country is beautiful. It makes you think about life itself. Thank you
| utility - singer chapter 12 . 7/8/2013
This is wonderful. I do wish you would consider returning, and writing more!
| Hannah chapter 12 . 3/8/2012
I just thought I'd let those of you who are interested know that this author has a fairly frequently updated livejournal here: and a whole host of other fanfic. Although there is no more of this, all of her work is amazing and you might find something you like ;)
Anyway, didn't want anyone else to miss out on reading more of her fabulous work.
| Charmian James chapter 1 . 12/28/2011
I am also a member of the Society For The Fair & Kind Treatment Of The Baroness, and I really like the way she was featured in this story. Of course, my loyalty is to Georg and Maria, but it seems realistic to the movie that Georg would treat the Baroness that way. I really like your writing style, so I'd like to see more of your work :)

| pookieindigoblue chapter 12 . 12/8/2010
I just want to say, Ilandra, if you happen to peek at this one day, that I think you have a real talent for writing which you should pursue. Your prose flows so easily it is difficult to put it down, and together with your wonderful characterisation, in my opinion, your 'Something Good' is easily the best story here.
Please, please continue your writing!
| lrigD chapter 12 . 5/17/2010
I don't think I have any chance at rousing you back into action - seeing as the last time this story was updated was 2004...
But I do love this story. You have (had?) a way of capturing the atmosphere of the film in a way that is neither too sweet nor too 'cold'. It's a great balance and it definitely shows your abilities as a writer.
Furthermore I just love to see the development in their relationship, which you have, once again, managed to capture very well. I always wanted to see those things in the movie more - especially moments with the children, too. You satisfy that need D
| Marish89 chapter 12 . 1/27/2010
Wonderful story - please continue it! I'd love to read more!

| bingblot chapter 12 . 1/18/2009
This was such a lovely moment between the Captain and Maria. I love how you're building up the relationship between them so gradually; I always think it's a pity that we don't get to see more of the build-up. Plus I love how you're making Agathe a character in how she lives on in the Captain's memories; that's exactly the way it should be.
I do hope you plan to write more of this lovely story! Please don't abandon it just when the Captain/Maria interaction is getting so lovely!
| Silvercrystal77 chapter 12 . 12/2/2008
Please don't give up on this story! I love it! This is honestly one of the best SOM stories I have ever read! I love it when people emphasize how good Maria is with the children. I really hope you haven't abandoned this story. Keep up the good work and please update soon!

Posted on 02/29/2008 6:44:37 PM PST by FoxInSocks
Sprint Nextel yesterday reported a $29.45 billion fourth-quarter loss and said legions of subscribers continue to abandon its service, many because they can't pay their bills.
The nation's third-largest wireless carrier last year courted people with poor credit to boost its number of subscribers. Now the company is feeling the pain disproportionately as the economy weakens and consumers default on their debts.
Sprint said it expects 1.2 million wireless subscribers to drop their service in the current quarter, roughly the same number that left in all of 2007. The company offset losses by signing up new customers, but it has steadily lost ground to its two main rivals, Verizon Wireless and AT&T.
Sprint yesterday announced its latest effort to recruit more customers, a $99.99 unlimited voice and data plan. Sprint has been searching for ways to differentiate itself from its competitors, much as AT&T got a leg up by making an exclusive deal to carry the Apple iPhone.
Sprint has struggled since it purchased Reston-based Nextel in 2005. The two cultures did not blend well and customers complained about the quality of Sprint's service.
He said the company loosened its credit requirements last summer to attract customers with poor or little credit histories. Sprint ended the year with 53.8 million total subscribers, 700,000 more than it had in 2006. It made up for the loss of core monthly contract subscribers by adding less-lucrative prepaid and wholesale accounts.
"We have a lot of subprime customers in our customer base and we were disproportionately hit hard versus other carriers," Hesse said.
Analysts referred to Hesse's strategy as a "kitchen sink" approach: presenting the bleakest picture possible in hope of showing progress in the coming months.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
At least the federal government hasn't intervened to save all the poor people from having their latest-and-greatest cell phone service cut off. Yet.
Regarding their newest recruitment idea, I'm skeptical that people will flock to Sprint and and sign up for $100/month contracts, but hey, I'm a simple guy.
As an aside, my own experience with Sprint over the past six years or so has been trouble free. <knock on wood> I've stayed with them primarily because I can't get a comparable rate elsewhere, but I'm starting to wonder (again) how much longer Sprint will be around.
This is almost as good as Circuit City. They fired their sales force and then wondered why sales plummeted.
Just damn! Does this mean the NASCAR cup will be changing it's name again next year!!!
They need a unliminted 25 dollar plan.
I am from the Overland Park Kansas area where Sprint has its prison looking headquarters and I can tell you this—it is a very poorly managed company and people are leaving not because they cannot pay the bills but because they can't get service in many locations.........it makes them upset..........
Maybe if these phone companies offered decent rates and didn't try to lock people in, they wouldn't have to dig for people with bad credit.
Didnt Sprint just make a huge acquisition of another carrier a little while ago? I would think purchasing that would make its debt for the quarter look alot worse than what it really is.
My problem with Sprint was their tech support. Everytime I called I got someone in Bangladesh who couldn't speak English.
I also don't like the fact that anytime I change my plan they extend my contract. They need to let me roll over my minutes too maybe. Something different.
They try to keep their customers by not letting them get out of their contracts instead of offering something to stay.
I had dozens of cellphones in the hands of our auditors, and if there were any problems at all (which would arise internally at the special sites where the organization made payments) Sprint made itself IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTACT.
It seemed to be their attitude that the only purpose customers had was to perfectly meld with their billing cycle and just shut up.
That, of course, was the wrong way to treat a federal agency with its own armed officers of the law, but they didn't care.
I doubt they've improved.
It's good they will soon disappear from "the corporate world". Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
In my limited experience of 38 years of Corporate endurance 'short run' is usually rewarded far more than long term gains.
The Japanese have done the opposite since perhaps the 50s.
Just sayin'

They bought Nextel in 05. ALL of the resulting ripples from that should have settled by now.
And Sprint service continues to suck.
I'm very happy with VZW and wouldn't think of switching.
After Altel gets bought and auctioned off, I think Sprint will be the next to fall. That will leave AT&T and VZW with room for one more, possibly a Google type venture. Any thoughts?
Wish I knew how the double posts get there...
You forgot that we still have TMobile. And since that's owned by the German government, I doubt it's going away.
AT&T had too many stores in too many places. They needed to close down at least half of them - and they've done so. For example, you don't need three AT&T stores in a 3/4 mile radius.
I'll tell you what my store sells sprint phones and their credit requirements are ridiculously lax. I qualify for five lines no spending limit and no deposit and I work part time and go to college.
Then I see customers who need to put down 250 dollars per line. How do you possibly screw your credit up to the point where that happens? It genuinally baffles me.
The side benefit to croporate lines is that families who have a corporate phone usually switch to be "in network" with the parents, etc.
Do you mean companies look for short-term gains to the detriment of long-term growth? I have a military background, not a corporate background.
Just askin'. :-)
Yes, most do, and it shows.
Them quarter profits reign!!!
Glad I am on my way out of that mentality.
Just research how the Japanese took on the automotive and steel industries: long term goals.
Sprint's service has always been great for me. Especially when traveling.
But recently I've had problems. Namely getting messages 2 or 3 days late etc. That's ridiculous.
After my contract expired Sprint renewed it without my consent and tacked on $200 fee penalty per line (2 lines = $400) if I try to leave before the new "contract" expires.
I've heard MetroPCS has people waiting hours for messages and sometimes up to 24 hours but never days. Wow! hope they were not business related messages that cost you/your company profits.
You would be stunned at how many companies do this. Stunned. "Expenses are too high. Fire the sales force." How incredibly stupid.
There is a great New Yorker cartoon about that: expensively dressed executives in the boardroom with the plunging sales chart.
Subprime Phones!??!!??
I heard NASCAR has so much trouble keeping CUP promoters, Winston, Nextell, Sprint, they are going to finalize on "the Clinton Cup Series"; It's impossible to ever get rid of the Clintons.
Stop double clicking!
This is distressing. When Sprint first came into business one of their initial programs was the Free And Clear $15/mo for 100 minutes. I still have it and it will have to be pried from my cold dead fingers unless Sprint goes under.
Many times over the last 10 years they have tried to woo me off it with new phones coupled with other programs of course. Thanks but no thanks.
More like crappy service is causing their loss of customers.
They must have meant million not billion. Math nor money was ever a communist Washington Post writer strong suit.
I've been a Sprint customer for about the last 10 years. Maybe I'm just easy to please, but I've always been happy with my service. Especially when my co-workers with Verizon and AT&T are always complaining about their lousy data signal.
To each his own, I guess.
Reality is that there were probably many idiots out there paying their phone bills with their super high interest credit cards. Eventually such a house of cards will fall when the wind blows.
I can verify that for you. I used to work for them as a contractor. They have a pathetically run operation that has a bureaucracy that is comparable in efficiency and competence to the federal government.
Too bad Sprint didn't go for the iPhone. Cingular was Apple's LAST choice, bit no one else had the vision.
Everyone else wanted to cripple the phone, make every feature extra cost, and charge by the minute.
The loss amount was correct, however the full article clarified that most of it was related to the company's decision to write down much of the remaining value of the Nextel purchase. This was mostly an accounting move by the new management to put past decisions behind and clear the path for their restructuring plan.
They can sublet the space to Starbucks.
They are also dinosaurs who will go away. Sadly, there is a reason ATT has been around for a century. They aren't stupid.
I has sprint. And their service sucked and so did their phones. And I had a 6700 PPC when it was brand new. Hated it for all the two years I carried it.
Especially Verizon. They are the worst nickel-and-dimers in the business. They took what was a pretty cool phone for its time, the v710, and totally crippled all its best features in order to line their pockets with fees from their crappy proprietary ringtones and games etc. It put such a bad taste in my mouth that I was eager to jump to AT&T as soon as they came out with the iPhone. I hate Verizon and will never go back. The company defines penny ise and pound-foolish.
LOL! I have Sprint and a PPC 6700. I love the service and the phone. It's not the service that sucks for me, it's the customer service.
But there is nothing better than to sit in an airport where they want you to pay $10 or $20 for the "day" for WiFi when all I have to do is setup my bluetooth on the laptop, turn it on in the 6700 and use my phone as a wireless modem.
The $100 unlimited calling/data is a fantastic deal. Data alone on the other networks appears to be pretty expensive.
Oh, as of last month you can now make changes to your plan without resetting your contract.
This is great news.
My experience with Sprint: they deluged me with junk mail the whole time i was a customer. Somewhere in all that mail was a change in the terms of service on the calling card they'd issued me. They tripled the rate.
I subsequently found myself in the midst of an emergency and used the calling card— only to be presented with an enormous bill for one month's service.
Their response: I was a 'legacy' customer and had forfeited my right to notification — they could set their rates with impunity.
I paid the bill, and wrote to the CEO telling him to procreate with a barnyard animal. And I predicted the company would fail, I was only wrong about the time frame
Sprint who? They still around?
So it's just not deadbeats that's causing Sprint's downward spiral. It's partially due to folks like me who find it a thousand per cent more economical to write and email than to automatically and lazily (that was me) reach for the phone to contact someone.
I had Nextel for 4 years, and recently wanted to upgrade my phones (family plan) so I called Sprint to see if I could transfer service from Nextel without a penalty on one of the phones that was under the 2 year contract period. Without hesitating, the service rep assured me I could, and for a similar rate I had on Nextel. I, said I would call back after doing some research on which phone I wanted.
I did that the next day and ended up talking with 7 different people trying to cancel out of Nextel and entering Sprint's domain. I finally asked for a supervisor who handled the process very efficiently.
So far, the quality of service is similar to that of Nextel in my area, and I'm satisfied.
I had another experience working with Sprint Long Lines when I worked on a private network for a major retail chain. Working with AT&T was certainly more structured and defined compared with Sprint, but Sprint's flexibility made the job a lot easier.
You mean I can now change my contract and not get it extended at Sprint? good news!
Another thing that irritates me with Sprint is that my son has TMobile and he can take that chip out and exchange phones daily if he wants. He buys phones or exchanges them with other people or family members and just puts his SIMS card in.
With Sprint you can't do that.
Essentially, they got themselves a customer base that uses the service more extensively than most, and pays for it less frequently than most. Generally what they were doing was looking for customers to replace those who'd taken cheaper options. Early on, there were a lot of folks who used their cell only occasionally, yet still paid for a monthly plan. Those folks were gravy, because they represented pretty much pure revenue without a need to expand the system. The various 'pay as you go' services have captured a considerable amount of that market.
Tracfone spotted what was going on, and has moved aggressively into serving the low usage customer. I, for example, am currently paying about eight bucks a month for cell service. Makes no sense for somebody who's on their cell all day, but works just fine for the occasional user.
Nextel also has another issue with the need to either move their frequencies or pay the costs for public safety agencies to move their frequencies to avoid some significant cross-talk problems that they've had. That's a huge expense that isn't going to be limited to one year.
Less suck than a few years ago when it took up to 24 hrs to be notified of voice mail messages. Now they've improved it to delivery within 12 hrs.
ATT has the real web on the iphone so I dont even need to open up the laptop and it too has $99 unlimited.
I do not miss Sprint but for competitions sake I hope they stick around and get back on their feet.

The blistering Texas drought has caused an estimated record $5.2 billion in crop and livestock losses.
AgriLife Extension Service economist David Anderson today said surveys from November to Aug. 1 indicate livestock losses of $2.1 billion, with crop losses making up the rest. Anderson says there could be more losses by the time crops are harvested.
The previous record annual loss was $4.1 billion in 2006.
Crop losses include cotton, corn, wheat, sorghum and lost hay production. The estimates don't include fruit and vegetables, horticultural and nursery crops, or other grain and row crops.
Experts say Texas needs more than 4.5 inches of rain over the next two months to avoid breaking the 1956 record for driest 12 consecutive months.

If there was a way to limit the search results to only contain hits for source files that had actually been used for the last build it would be awesome. This could be done by looking for a matching object file in the same directory as the source or, even better, looking at the makefiles to see if the source files was used to generate an existing object file. I did some searching but didn't see any indication that this feature exists. I'd be curious to here what other people think about the idea. Thanks .

We are the only manufacturer to make this amazing color camera. It is a high resolution DSP color with 1/3" CCD camera. The size is only 31mmx31mm. The most amazing feature about the camera is the color under regular light conditions. This allows the color camera to work under most light conditions without any interruptions. It is the best choice for spy and surveillance.

Essay;In the Shadow of Goebbels
By Tina Rosenberg
Published: June 2, 1996
Tina Rosenberg is a senior fellow at the World Policy Institute at the New School. Her book "The Haunted Land: Facing Europe's Ghosts After Communism" won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction.
David Irving opens "Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich" with a statement that shows Goebbels is not the only one who knows something about propaganda: "Writing this biography, I have lived in the evil shadow of Dr. Joseph Goebbels for over seven years." Coming from the favorite historian of Holocaust deniers, a man who believes that the Auschwitz gas chambers were built by Poland after the war to promote tourism and that Hitler knew nothing about the extermination of the Jews, this is a disarming statement. In one sentence Mr. Irving advises the reader both that he is an intrepid researcher and that his views are perhaps not so extreme after all.
The book, which has just appeared in England, may yet be published in the United States, but -- as has been remarked on extensively -- it will not be under the auspices of St. Martin's Press. On April 4, the chairman of St. Martin's, Thomas J. McCormack, announced that he was breaking his company's contract to publish the book. "I hated it," he said. "It seemed to me that the subtext was the ugly one: that Jews brought it on to themselves." The reversal followed a strong prepublication reaction to the book. Publishers Weekly called it "repellent." Frank Rich, a columnist for The New York Times, wrote that publishing "Goebbels" was "the willing execution of the truth." Employees of St. Martin's pilloried the book during a two-hour special meeting: people working in divisions as remote as reference and education had received angry phone calls, some from their mothers. Orders to the college division were canceled.
Thomas Dunne, who had acquired the book for St. Martin's and was its editor, received death threats. Anne Roiphe, a columnist at The New York Observer, suggested that Mr. Dunne be exiled to join the Freemen in Montana, and over a letter to the editor defending Mr. Dunne The Observer put the headline "Stand By Your Nazi."
The explanation for how St. Martin's got into this mess can be found in Mr. Irving's opening sentence. This book is not "Mein Kampf." A reader would have to have some familiarity with Mr. Irving or know quite a bit about the Third Reich to detect a problem, and evidently Mr. Dunne was not such a reader. He says that when he received a 2,500-page manuscript from Mr. Irving's agent, he didn't even know who Mr. Irving was.
The manuscript he received was an unsympathetic portrayal of Goebbels, with Mr. Irving chiming in every few pages in his own voice to assure the reader that Goebbels was indeed a snake. Mr. Irving's research has taken him to archives all over the world, and the book contains 155 pages of footnotes -- to Goebbels's diaries, letters, documents and other primary sources. His writing is lively and compelling. The British edition, published by Mr. Irving's own imprint, is a Rolls-Royce, filled with costly color photographs. And Mr. Irving reminds the reader dozens of times that his is the first book to use the complete Goebbels diaries, much of which had been microfiched and stored in a special Moscow archive devoted to foreign material captured by the Red Army.
But under its polished surface the book is in fact a sophisticated blood libel. A look at just one sentence is enough to show why. In a description of the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses in 1933, Mr. Irving writes, "The upshot of the Jewish campaign overseas was that Goebbels secured from Hitler -- or so he claimed -- approval to threaten a short, sharp counterboycott of the Jews." A "counterboycott" provoked by a "Jewish campaign overseas" -- in other words, the Jews had it coming. These are not Goebbels's words, they are Mr. Irving's, and the book is strung with such gems. Consistent with his theory that the gas chambers did not exist, Mr. Irving calls Auschwitz "the most brutal of all Himmler's slave-labor camps and the one with the highest mortality rate." By my count, the word "holocaust" appears once in the book; it refers to the British bombing of Hamburg.
More subtly, the boycott sentence illustrates a larger problem. In a recent speech to the Institute for Historical Review -- the center of the United States Holocaust denial movement and the American distributor of many of Mr. Irving's books -- Mr. Irving said of the 1933 boycott: "Goebbels organized the boycott, though if you read his diary you can get the impression that Hitler authorized it, sanctioned it and possibly suggested it." Readers of Mr. Irving's Web site can find this statement, but it is nowhere in the book, whose only reference linking Hitler to the boycott is the sentence quoted above. Mr. Irving has played down Hitler's involvement.
"He was born to exonerate Hitler. That's his mission in life," says Michael H. Kater, the Distinguished Research Professor of History at York University in Toronto and an expert on the Third Reich. Mr. Irving has offered a reward of 1,000 to anyone who can produce a wartime document showing that Hitler knew about the extermination of the Jews before October 1943. He expounds the thesis that Hitler was ignorant of the Holocaust in his 1977 book, "Hitler's War" (in which the bad guys were Himmler and Heydrich), and he has extended it in other books. Gitta Sereny, the author of "Albert Speer: His Battle With Truth," writes in the British newspaper The Observer that Goebbels's diaries indicate he learned of the extermination camps only when Hitler told him -- months after they had begun operation. But such passages do not appear in Mr. Irving's book. "He's the premier practitioner of selective evidence," says Warren F. Kimball, a professor of diplomatic history at Rutgers University.

MMSC: Miguel Angel Jimenez, Luke Donald and Adam Scott all won over the weekend
|This is the only appropriate way to hold a trophy. (Getty Images)
Sometimes it's nice to be reminded to live your life. We here are all golfers that probably put way too much time and effort into our own games, pro or otherwise, with minimal changes to our bottom line.
That's why it's so great to hear stuff like what Miguel Angel Jimenez said after becoming the oldest winner in the history of the European Tour.
You all know Miguel. The cigar-carrying, wine-drinking, fancy-car buying Spaniard that probably had more fun last night than all of us will have in the entire 2013. The best part about Jimenez, however, isn't his approach to life; it's that he KNOWS how good he's got it. After snagging the Hong Kong Open on Sunday, one shot better than Fredrik Andersson Hed, Jimenez gave this incredible quote about his week, and life, and everything under the sun.
"There is maybe olive oil in my joints, and drinking the nice Rioja wine and those things keeps me fit and flexible," he said. "Well, the most important thing (is), I do what I like to do in my life, and golf has given me all of this pleasure."
Ahh, honesty. It was Jimenez's 19th European Tour title in his career, putting him 11th on the all-time European Tour wins list (ahead of names like Sandy Lyle, Greg Norman and Padraig Harrington), but it was really just a look into the life of a guy that most call The Most Interesting Man in the World.
What makes Jimenez so likable? The fact that the guy is honest. He gets it, and as a guy that can get the ball in the hole better than most on Earth, it's cool that he has the perspective that others could definitely use.
Speaking of relaxed golfers …
It was quite a week for big names at random golf tournaments, as Luke Donald snagged the Dunlop Phoenix, an event on the Japan Golf Tour, with a final round 65 to beat the field by five shots.
The win was good enough to push Donald ahead of Tiger Woods in the world rankings, landing in second behind Rory McIlroy and just a few percentage points ahead of Tiger.
Donald tweeted this after his win on Sunday at the Phoenix Country Club, reminding us all that while golf might still be going on, November adds a bit of a relaxed atmosphere for players understanding the year is finally winding down.
Loved my week here in Japan - the Dunlop Phoenix is a great event, on a great course, great food, great beer....it's just great! #great— Luke Donald (@LukeDonald) November 18, 2012
And one more big name with a victory
The Australian Masters didn't feature a ton of big names in the field, but the two biggest sure battled all week with each other.
Adam Scott ended up beating Ian Poulter, who struggled with his game on Sunday allowing the Australian to snag his first win of the season.
Scott seemed pleased with the win, but I though the most interesting part of the weekend came from this Alan Bastable interview with Scott.
Asked if he ever considered firing caddie Steve Williams after everything that went down with the former looper of Tiger Woods, Scott said no, it never crossed his mind.
"No, I never thought about that. The incident was extremely unfortunate and I'm not going to do myself any favors by talking about it a lot, but I think most people believe it was a closed room that night. Other things were said in the room that some would find offensive, but the only thing that was taken out of the room was Steve's comments -- not smart comments, I might point out."
The whole interview is worth reading over your morning cup of coffee, but I found it just about right that Scott wouldn't have let Williams go just by a couple of dumb comments he said in what was supposed to be a private function.

We are in need of conferencing solution for our Windows network. Due to security restrictions, the traffic all needs to stay within our LAN. The conferences would all be small and a peer-to-peer architecture is preferred over needing to install and maintain yet another server application. So far, we've ruled out the following options:
- Sype, Yugma, etc. - These would be ideal, but they send traffic outside our LAN through 3rd party servers
- netmeeting - Poor video quality and soon to be deprecated
- Windows Meeting Space - no audio/video
Is there anything else we should look at?

Please have a look at my previous post and further down. Try and focus on the conversation between @s_ha_dum and myself (marikamitsos).
Please have a look at the NEW ERRORS as well: http://pastebin.com/hsbS6pZK
As you notice this time we also have the exact same errors. Only this time they appeared 5 consecutive times. And in the end of the error log there are about 90 empty rows written. :-O
@s_ha_dum: Did you have time to look it up?
Doesn't anyone else notice the same issues?
PS: @forum moderators. The closed topic was originally started by me and never resolved. :(

that big black cloud of smoke is a big black smoke-cloud of FREEDOM!
Not quite sure where you're going with this one, but planes do crash in the U.S., even military planes. This isn't such a singularly unusual event to warrant that kind of an alarmist head line.
Is it possible to put a measure on the ballot in Seattle so we can vote to stop the Blue Angels show at Seafair?
What?! The noise of the planes causes my dog to freak out. It gives him a taste of what his cousins go through in animal testing. Otherwise, the meds would have never saved his life.
I think the headline is referring to all the handwringing that comes out of some quarters of Seattle whenever SeaFair rolls around. There are a bunch of people who are terrified one of the Blue Angels is going to fall on their heads (or just object to them on principle but use this as an excuse). The reality is that far more people will die in fiery wrecks in the Seattle area every year while minding their own business -- they'll just be in cars.
Personally, I love air shows and I enjoy the Blue Angels; I'm happy to see them every year (they're certainly better than Folkfest or Fat Tuesday or any of the annoying parades we get every summer). And just imagine if the Defense Dept's budget was tied up in airshows instead of munitions: they could've never contemplated the war in Iraq.
Can we put a measure on the ballot to stop air traffic into SeaTac and Boeing Field?
Way to Fight The Power, Josh.
"The Blue Angels are extra-disruptive!"
Since you only deal in sarcasm, please know that I take the things you write very seriously. Especially when it comes to dogs or (overall, harmless) tradition.
I hate the Blue Angels and I hate how they make everyone's dogs freak out.
The blue Angels complicate my life. I'm just trying to eat some lunch here!
Props to CNN for finding the one-in-a-thousand eyewitness who saw a "big black cloud of smoke" instead of a "huge fireball" when the jet crashed.
The Blue Angels need to stop flying at SeaFair because:
1. Unlike planes coming into SeaTac or Boeing, they're flying at high speed and very low altitude over heavily populated areas of Seattle.
2. The noise they subject on the entire city is unacceptable. Have your airshow, fine, but do it out in Sammamish where there's nobody around to be harrassed except miles of strip malls.
3. The whole point of the airshow is to serve the military's ends. For us peace-loving tree-hugging homos and hippies in Seattle, that means reminding us exactly what country we live in. For everyone else, that means salivation and foaming at the mouth at our awesome military might. It's PR for the military, and will always help their budget more than it drains it.
"Do it out in Sammamish where there's nobody around to be harrassed except miles of strip malls"
Way to build inclusivity, DavidG. Now me and my East Side Stranger-reading brethren will have to start supporting the war, voting Republican and buying Ford Expeditions.
Honest to god, one of the only things I've come to dislike about living in WA since moving her four years ago is the hip, condescending attitude some Seattleites consider de rigeur towards the East Side.
Do unto others, man. Or, in more draconian terms, a helpful reminder: if the East Side votes Republican, you get Republican Senators and Governors. If we vote Democratic, you get Democratic Senators and Governors.
I would be very happy if the Blue Angels took their imperialist death-from-above bullshit somewhere else. Say, Alabama. Every time they fly over head and people start running to out to watch them, I always remind them that in every other place on the planet you fucking run the OTHER way if you hear that noise.

Can someone PLEASE answer #3 - how might someone go about banning this? Initiative? Is it a city thing, or a King County thing? Do we control our airspace?
It's not just dogs and babies crying, it's tons of jet fuel wasted, summertime traffic, congestion and pollution, and blatent promotion of death and distruction at taxpayer expense.
If Seattle can't ban this, no one can. And if no one can, I'm worried.
I guess this isn't the "support the troops, oppose the war" portion of the anti-war movement.
I love the Blue Angles. It's one of my favorite times of year when they come roaring by overhead.
I'm not a war monger either; I'm a unapologetic lefty who was against the war in Iraq from the beginning. Most displays of military might just make me roll my eyes.
I can't really argue that there is risk involved with the show. In my case, the risk that I'll die from being impacted by a Blue Angel is worth the enjoyment.
