Snoqualmie gain recognition
Last Wednesday, Oct. 6, approximately 1,000 members of
the Snoqualmie tribe learned that, once again, they were a nation in the
eyes of the Federal government.
The word _ delivered by John D. Leshy of the Department of Interior
_ came after the government rejected the Tulalip tribe's challenge of
the Snoqualmie's status. As a recognized tribe, the Snoqualmie are now
granted status of a sovereign nation and are eligible for federal dollars for
health care, education, social services, housing and tribal-government purposes.
The government's announcement culminates over 140 years of
efforts to resolve the tribe's status. At one time, one of the largest and most
powerful nations in the Puget Sound, the Snoqualmie have effectively been
disenfranchised since the signing of the Point Elliott Treaty of Jan. 22,
1855. On that date, Chief Pat Kanim - along with 81 other chiefs, including
Chief Sealth and representatives of the Duwamish, Suquamish,
Snohomish, Stillaguamish, Swinomish, Skagit, Lummi and other tribes _ signed
over their lands in the presence of Washington Territorial Governor
Isaac Stevens.
At the time of the signing, the Snoqualmie numbered over 4,000
and occupied 14 villages in the Valley. However, with the signing of the
treaty and the influx of settlers from the United States, the tribe quickly
dispersed, with many of its members eventually taking up residency in
the Tulalip Reservation near Marysville.
Others _ led by Chief Jerry Kanim, nephew of Chief Pat Kanim and
the last lineal leader of his nation - remained in their ancestral lands in
the Snoqualmie Valley. In November 1919, Chief Kanim formally
requested a return of the lands promised in 1855. In 1937, the Bureau of
Indian Affairs proposed the establishment of a 10,240-acre reservation
for the Snoqualmie near Carnation on the Tolt River. The proposal fell by
the boards during World War II, and in January 1953, the government
formally ended recognition of the Snoqualmie. Chief Kanim died
in 1956.
In the mid-1970s, the Snoqualmie and several other tribes again
asked for federal recognition. Four nations _ the Nooksacks, Upper
Skagits, Sauk-Suiattles and Stillaguamishes _ received the requested status from
the government, while federal courts turned down the Snoqualmie,
Samish, Snohomish, Duwamish and Steilacoom tribes.
Recognition for the Snoqualmie finally came on Aug. 22, 1997,
at which point the Tulalip tribe filed suit, claiming they were the true
successors of the Snoqualmie tribe. Tulalip leaders pointed out that the majority of
the Snoqualmie were relocated to their reservation following the 1855
treaty. They also stressed the Snoqualmie currently living in their historic
valley do not possess a reservation, and are therefore not qualified for
independent tribal status.
The Department of the Interior disagreed, setting off celebrations at
the Snoqualmie Tribal Offices in Carnation and other locations,
including their sacred Snoqualmie Falls.
Tribal members understand there is a long road ahead, including
another possible legal challenge by the Tulalips. A particular problem
will come in securing federal grants, as the tribe does not possess a land base.
However, according to tribal secretary Arlene Ventura, everyone
is upbeat and "still kind of in awe."
"Everybody is kind of overwhelmed here with all kinds of
phone calls offering congratulations, people offering to help," she
commented Monday.
"It's exciting. We do have some office formalities to go through, but
I think we're going to _ hopefully some time in November _ bring it to
our membership, and see where they want to go. We have a semi-annual
meeting; it will probably be a houseful this time."
Whatever comes next for the Snoqualmie people, the future at
the moment looks bright and filled with pride.
Many seasons ago, the Ancient Ones lived in this Valley called Snoqualmie.
An Ancient one named Earth Maiden married Star
Warrior of the night, and moved away.
Heavy with child, she became homesick and returned to her people
in the Valley.
Upon this news the Dog Salmon people plotted. After the birth of
the Earth Maiden's child, they stole him away to be raised in their land.
After coming of age, he was given a special power; he became
"Transformer," or the "Changer." He vowed to return to his natural home.
Upon arriving, he realized that the land had yielded little for the
descendents of the Ancient Ones. So, with his power, he changed
everything. Transformer said, "You are my people and your children will
have the `sdo-kwal-biuh' (Snoqualmie) name forever."

A Rumors and Rants History Lesson: Lefty O'DoulMay 4, 2009 – 11:01 am by TheBaker
We're going to try out a new feature here at Rumors and Rants. You can call it something of a history lesson. In fact, let's just go ahead and call it "A Rumors and Rants History Lesson."
Our hopes are to bring to light the stories and achievements of past stars we, as general sports fans, know absolutely nothing about.
For instance, if I were to ask you who has the fourth best batting average in Major League history, who would you guess?
Ted Williams? Babe Ruth? Lou Gehrig? Tony Gwynn?
Well tops on the list is Ty Cobb (.366). Rogers Hornsby (.358) and Shoeless Joe Jackson (.355) are at second and third, respectively.
All names we've heard of.
But I'm guessing Lefty O'Doul wasn't among the first few names rattling around in your brain. In fact, I think it's safe to say you've never even heard of Lefty O'Doul. Am I right?
Francis Joseph O'Doul played 11 Major League seasons and posted a .349 career batting average. His story is an interesting one as it's rumored he was the inspiration for Roy Hobbs, Bernard Malamud's legendary character in "The Natural."
Let's take a closer look, shall we.
A 22-year old O'Doul broke into the majors in 1919 with the Yankees as a left-handed pitcher. He was relatively unaccomplished because arm troubles forced him into a relief role, which in those days was like being a pen with no ink.
He played three seasons with the Yankees before spending 1923 with Boston. While in Boston, he had the dubious distinction of allowing 13 runs in a single inning, a new record at the time. So with pitching obviously not the answer, O'Doul tried to reinvent himself like a loser high school senior preparing for college.
After the 1923 season, O'Doul went down to the minors to turn himself into an outfielder, much like Rick Ankiel did and Micah Owings will do shortly (a little prediction there).
Five years later, the New York Giants brought him back to the majors as a platoon player. A then 31-year old O'Doul played in 114 games for the Giants and batted .318 with eight homers and 46 RBI. However, his defensive liabilities, namely a poor throwing arm, made him disposable, and he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1929.
In Philly, he teamed with Indianapolis native Chuck Klein and put up monster offensive numbers. He batted an astounding (and league-leading) .398 on his way to collecting a league-high 254 hits. Thirty-two of those hits left the yard and he knocked in 122 runs as he finished second in MVP voting to Hornsby.
You can just hear Bobby Redford, can't you?
"Red, it took me 16 years to get here. You play me, and I'll give you the best I got."
He followed his banner year with another big season in 1930, batting .383 with 22 home runs and 97 RBI. But again, O'Doul was traded because he couldn't play defense – this time to the Brooklyn Dodgers. He disappointed in his first year with the Dodgers, hitting just seven home runs, though he batted .336.
A 35-year old O'Doul rebounded in 1932 when he hit 21 home runs, knocked in 90 runs and batted a league-leading .368.
His next season would be an eventful one. He got off to a slow start and was traded back to the New York Giants 43 games into the 1933 season. Despite his poor start, he was named to his first and only All-Star Game (it was more of a lifetime achievement nod than anything else). In the game Lefty O'Doul was 0-for-1 in a pinch-hit appearance in a contest won by Lefty Gomez and saved by Lefty Grove. Don't you just love those creative old-time nicknames?
Later that season, O'Doul made his only playoff appearance. His postseason career consisted of one pinch-hit at bat in the 1933 World Series against the Washington Senators.
Pinch-hitting for center fielder Kiddo Davis in the sixth inning of Game Two, O'Doul hit a two-RBI single that helped the Giants rally to a six-run inning and an eventual 6-1 win. But O'Doul's one swing was all he was called on for in the Series, as Homer Peel took over defensive duties in center field in the top of the seventh. The Giants won the Series in five games.
O'Doul played one more season with the Giants, batting .316 with nine home runs and 46 RBI in 83 games before being released.
A San Francisco native, O'Doul managed the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League from 1937 to 1951, during which he managed a young Joe DiMaggio. O'Doul refused to take credit for Joe's success. "I was just smart enough to leave him alone," he said. But O'Doul was great with the kids. in fact, during his time with the Seals he set the league's record for career wins.
O'Doul was key in spreading baseball's popularity in Japan. He was baseball's goodwill ambassador before and after World War II and made more than 30 trips to Japan to help teach the game's fundamentals. It was at Gen. Douglas MacArthur's request that O'Doul stayed in Japan after the war to help repair relations between the two countries.
He is also credited for naming the Tokyo Giants in 1935 after his beloved New York Giants. And in 2002, he was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame.
Back stateside, naturally a man with a last name synonymous with non-alcoholic beer (again the whole pen-without-ink type deal) would open a bar. You can find O'Doul's Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge on Geary Boulevard in O'Doul's hometown.
He was inducted in the Bay Area Hall of Fame and a bridge over McCovey Cove outside AT&T Park is named in his honor.
So here's to you Lefty O'Doul. I raise my glass in your honor, but unlike your pansy ass namesake, I plan to drink something that will get me trashed.

By Erin O'Neill and MaryAnn Spoto/The Star-Ledger
BRIELLE – Hours after he allegedly shot the woman who managed his waterfront restaurant, Louis Cataldo, 62, barricaded himself inside his Point Pleasant condo Tuesday morning, as police tried to talk him out.
"Louie!" called out a member of the Ocean County SWAT team on a megaphone. "We've got you surrounded, Louie!"
The standoff went on for hours, with Cataldo holding police at bay until early afternoon — when he finally emerged and was hustled away, charged with attempted murder.
The victim was not named by police, but two law enforcement sources identified her as Nicole Reinhart Griffin, 35, the wife of a New Jersey State Trooper. She remained hospitalized in critical but stable condition last night, said a spokesman for the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.
On her Facebook page, Griffin identifies herself as the general manager of the Sand Bar Restaurant in Brielle, which was purchased by Cataldo in October — just four days before Hurricane Sandy struck. The popular waterfront bar, where burgers and pizzas on the menu compete with shrimp on the skewer and Cajun Sirloin, overlooks the docks of the Brielle Yacht Club.
Details of the shooting remained murky Tuesday, but authorities said the woman was shot in the parking lot of the Sand Bar early Tuesday morning at around 12:55 a.m.
After the shooting, police said Cataldo drove to his home a few minutes away in the upscale Bay Point Harbour complex in Point Pleasant Borough, and barricaded himself inside.
Area residents said they could hear sirens and the repeated calls of police early in the morning, telling Cataldo to come out, before it grew quiet again and appeared to settle into an hours-long standoff.
Barricades and a patrol car blocked off the entrance to Bay Point Harbour, a waterfront community of townhouses and apartments, surrounded by marinas and boat slips. Finally around 1:45 p.m., a Brielle police car could be seen roaring down Bay Avenue with a man in the back of the car.
According to Charles Webster, spokesman for the Monmouth County prosecutor's office, Cataldo was charged with attempted murder and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. He was being held Tuesday at the Monmouth County Jail in lieu of $1.5 million bail.
Bud Mayo, a neighbor of Cataldo, said police woke him up at 4 a.m. and ordered everyone to evacuate.
"All we do know is somebody did something that was very tragic. I have no idea what the circumstances were," he said.
He described Cataldo as a quiet guy and a longtime resident of the community.
"Never socialized much with the Bay Point Harbor group," he said. "Never bothered anybody, and well-liked as far as I can tell."
At the restaurant, where a half-broken, neon sign still flashed the weekly specials and entertainment: $2.75 for Coors Light, multiple law enforcement vehicles — including two Brielle patrol cars, three, gray unmarked SUVs and two unmarked sedans — lined the street outside.
Dave D'Ambrosa, who owns the building where the Sand Bar is located, said his brother, Chris DeCresce, had sold the restaurant to Cataldo four days before Hurricane Sandy struck the Jersey Shore.
He described Cataldo as a "gentleman" and a "genuine guy" who paid his bills on time, noting that Cataldo hired several people, including the victim, after he took over the restaurant.
"They always seemed to be friendly to each other," D'Ambrosa said.
According to D'Ambrosa, Cataldo had been a customer of the bar.
"He told me his dream was to buy the Sand Bar," D'Ambrosa said. When the sale went through, Cataldo rocked back and forth in his chair with his arms crossed across his chest. "He was so happy about it," D'Ambrosa recalled.
At Griffin's home in Point Pleasant late Tuesday, two State Troopers stood watch on the porch. One officer said only that immediate family members were at the house and "they aren't giving any statements." He asked to be respectful of the family.
Star-Ledger staff writers Ted Sherman, Paul Mulshine, Andy Mills and Seth Augenstein, along with NJ.com's Ashley Peskoe, contributed to this report.

EPIC still offers benefits to eligible seniors; possible payment of the monthly Medicare D premium and lower co-pays on prescriptions through the Medicare D coverage gap (or donut hole). Good changes to the EPIC program appear to be on the horizon but for now many are struggling to pay the deductibles and larger co-pays that are associated with their Medicare Drug plan.

Somebody actually did get a deer with a crossbow in Central New York in the fall.
Ken Clark, of Camillus, gave me a call this week following last Sunday's column in which I quoted a DEC spokeswoman who said preliminary figures showed less than "one quarter of one percent" of deer taken this past hunting season across the state were shot with a crossbow.
Clark told me he harvested two does this fall with his crossbow — one during the regular firearms season, the other during the late muzzleloading season.
"And that's after getting another doe in the regular bowhunting season with my compound bow," he said. All three deer were shot on private property in the town of Camillus.
Clark, 66, said he bought the crossbow "as a gift to myself." He said he paid about $800 for the weapon, along with buying the special arrows (called bolts) and a special practice target "because the bolts blew right through my 3-D deer target."
"I ended up spending a total of about $1,100. I sure hope they continue allowing crossbows after this year," he said, referring to the Dec. 31 sunset clause on the legislation that allows crossbows to be used to hunt deer or bear.
Clark said he's a diehard bow hunter who gave up on gun hunting about 10 years ago. He said he's a Vietnam veteran and doesn't like the noise.
He said two seasons ago he was in a treestand on a particularly cold day during the regular bow hunting season. "As a tried to draw the bow back, I hurt my shoulder. ... I felt something tear."
This fall, following months of rehab and light weight-lifting, he was finally able to pull back on his compound bow, although he had to reduce the bow's draw weight.
He said he took both deer with his crossbow at close range. He shot one during the regular firearms season at about 15 yards and the other during the muzzleloading season at about four yards.
"She practically walked right on top of me," he said.
Given a choice between the two types of bows, Clark said he prefers his compound.
"It makes me feel like I'm an Indian, or a Robin Hood," he said, adding that he enjoys being able to see the arrow leave his bow and travel through the air toward the deer. The crossbow bolt, he says, goes too fast to see.
However, he conceded that if his shoulder goes out again, his only hunting option would be a crossbow, assuming that new legislation is passed to make their use permanent.
Asked about what changes he'd like to see concerning crossbow use, he said he would still limit their use for most hunters to the regular firearms and late muzzleloading seasons. But he would make an exception for disabled hunters or seniors (66 and older) during the regular bowhunting season.
"I also wish I could use a crossbow to hunt turkeys."

"We're all ecstatic," said OSU chemist Douglas Keszler, who cofounded and will continue to direct the Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry. "This is a tremendous opportunity for students."
The center -- originally known as the Center for Green Materials Chemistry -- was established three years ago with an NSF grant of about $1.5 million. Since then, collaborators have published multiple technical articles and launched a start-up company, Corvallis-based Inpria Corp., which develops thin-film technologies used in the semiconductor industry. Inpria announced a round of private financing this spring.
With the expansion of the NSF grant, the center will broaden its base of researchers to other colleges and to more students. It will explore new applications, such as solar energy, build management teams and refine pathways to commercialize its technologies, said Keszler. Its goal is to create more companies that will pursue business applications of the research, he said.
The center aims to create "a little bit stronger commercialization ecosystem," he said.
The grant was awarded through the NSF's Centers of Chemical Innovation program, which focuses on addressing problems that can't be solved by individual researchers working alone, said Matt Platz, director of NSF's chemistry division, in a prepared statement.
Oregon State and the University of Oregon will each collect about $9 million from the renewed grant, and share the rest with researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, Rutgers, the University of California-Davis and California-Berkeley. Other collaborators include the National Institutes of Standards and Technology and the Argonne National Laboratory.
Researchers have collaborated in Eugene and Corvallis. They may open a main office and lab space at the University of Oregon's Robert and Beverly Lewis Integrative Science Building, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2012.
The Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute, the state's first "signature research center," will provide up to $2.03 million in matching funds, the institute announced.

New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Doug Marrone spoke with ESPN Radio 1260's Kevin Ware tonight and confirmed an NFL Network report that he was in town on Sunday and interviewed with Daryl Gross for the head coaching position at Syracuse. Marrone flew to Syracuse right after New Orleans beat Atlanta 29-25 and flew back to New Orleans right after the interview.
Ware asked Marrone if he would accept the job if offered to him by Gross. Marrone responded by saying he wouldn't have flown in for the interview if he wasn't serious about the position, saying "he's not that kind of guy," but added that he hoped the situation wouldn't become a distraction to his current situation in New Orleans.
Marrone and the Saints are preparing for a Thursday night game vs the Chicago Bears. He also said this past week that he had a phone interview with Gross prior to the Sunday interview in Syracuse.
Marrone politely declined to offer a timetable on the decision noting the ongoing search process by Gross and not knowing when he would make a decision on a head coach.
Marrone is a former Syracuse University Football player. He was at the school as a player from 1983-85. He later returned to school at SU and graduated in 1991.

Students and faculty from ACM colleges gather at the ACM Off-Campus Study Student Symposium.
Ariana Kiener
When Ariana Kiener (Carleton College) wants to remember the warmth she felt living with a family in a village in Thailand, she touches one of the dozens of strings tied around her wrist – strings given to her by the people she met and lived with – and the memories come flooding back. Pulling at the strings as she spoke, she admitted that "the truth is that I took them out of my drawer before coming to this talk; at first I wore them all the time, but then I had to take them off for rugby practice and after a while stopped putting them back on again."
Ryan Greene (Ripon College) went to Nagasaki eager to make new friends and experience daily life in Japan. He certainly accomplished that. Yet, he found that history kept intruding on the present. Events of World War II – six decades ago, more than a generation before Ryan and his contemporaries were even born – continue to influence personal relationships among Japanese, Chinese, and American students. "How can we understand and move beyond the historical narratives we grow up with in our own culture?" Ryan asks.
In her first trip outside the U.S., Kathleen Quigley (Monmouth College) traveled to Tanzania, where she counted elephant droppings. As part of her study to map and understand how elephants damage Africa's signature baobab trees, she also came a bit too close to lions for comfort. And she found beauty in the craggy, damaged baobab trees which, she said, "according to local legend were turned upside down by God as punishment for their vanity, leaving them looking like roots sticking up in the air."
Ryan Casserly (Colorado College) giving his presentation at the ACM Student Symposium
Ariana, Ryan, and Kathleen were among two dozen students from ACM colleges who shared compelling stories about adventure and discovery, academic and personal growth, and insights gained from off-campus study at the ACM Off-Campus Study Student Symposium in Chicago on April 17-18.
Chris Ruder (Beloit College) went to India to gain an understanding of South Indian culture through service learning and community participation. He found, though, that his identity as a Westerner placed him in a different – and personally uncomfortable – role, in which others saw him as an authority rather than as a student. "I always felt like an outsider," he said. Dealing with this experience has been very difficult, says Chris, but has led him to a greater appreciation of the complexity of intercultural perspectives and relations. "I have to ask" he said in some of the most provocative remarks of the symposium, "whether the inequality and contrast of privilege in study abroad is worth it?"
The locations and focus of the students' off-campus study varied widely: interviewing migrant workers on coffee plantations in Costa Rica, studying killer whales in the San Juan Islands near Seattle, working on development projects in Kenya, and studying the Italian Renaissance in Florence, to name just a few examples.
Reflecting on her off-campus studies in Argentina and Spain, Polly Young (Knox College) said, "Travel changes you. As you move through life and experience what the world has to offer, you leave your footprints behind and, in return, you learn lessons along the way. These lessons can be beautiful and even sometimes painful, but upon reflection they provide deeper levels of understanding that continue to inform the way you view the world, address future situations, and live your life."
The Student Symposium was a showcase of liberal arts education and the transformative effects of off-campus study. The students, selected by their colleges and accompanied by faculty members from their campuses, gave presentations about their experiences and engaged in thought-provoking panel discussions on questions that arose from their presentations, such as:
A panel discussion at the ACM Student Symposium
"The different experiences and perspectives offered by symposium participants highlighted the many pragmatic, theoretical, and ethical questions raised through study abroad, and created the opportunity for especially rich and illuminating (though not always easy) conversations," said Natalie Gummer, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Beloit College and a moderator for one of the panel discussions.
"On the subject of 'development,' for instance, student perspectives diverged greatly," Gummer noted. "Some students discussed it as an unquestioned good, the benefits of which they witnessed clearly in their studies abroad. Others articulated quite subtle distinctions among different forms of development, asserting the value of empowering local communities to design and work towards goals set by the communities themselves. Still others questioned the very notion of 'development' – the assumptions about progress that underlie its trajectory, the deep privileging of Western economic and political models in determining what it means to 'develop,' the ethical dilemmas raised by the bare fact that so many American students are able to enter, explore, and depart from communities in which reciprocal opportunities very seldom exist. The conversations among these perspectives were as valuable as they were challenging."
The Symposium began with a reception and dinner featuring three guest speakers who talked about the long-term benefits of consortial collaboration in off-campus study, faculty development, and other areas.
Steven Schutt, President of Lake Forest College
Lake Forest President Steven Schutt highlighted the importance of small, liberal arts colleges to our society. Speaking of ACM colleges specifically, he noted the vital connections that ACM provides and the many ways that those connections enrich the colleges, especially the collaboration that provides a range of off-campus study opportunties that individual institutions might not be able to offer.
The theme of enrichment was continued by ACM President Emerita Elizabeth Hayford, who pointed out ways that ACM's off-campus study programs enhance the academic curricula of the individual colleges. Among other examples, she discussed how ACM programs in Russia and Zimbabwe during the 1990s supported curricular development and faculty expertise on ACM campuses.
Jody Kretzmann, a founding faculty member of the ACM Urban Studies program, talked about the challenges and excitement of creating an urban-focused program in Chicago in the midst of the tumultuous events of 1968. It was, he noted, a daring experiment at that time to make the city into the classroom – to bring students to Chicago and have them explore and learn firsthand from people engaged in the life of the city, from political leaders to community activists to people on welfare.
The Student Symposium was the culminating event in the celebration of ACM's 50th Anniversary. As a consortium and individually, the ACM colleges have been leaders in making off-campus study a central element of undergraduate education. ACM has operated international and domestic programs since the early 1960s.

Watch Seinfeld
Seinfeld is a half hour situation comedy, which admittedly in the show, is about nothing. Jerry Seinfeld, who began his career as a stand up comic, created this show with Larry David. The show lasted 9 seasons, and was a hit throughout its run. The shows main characters were Jerry Seinfeld playing himself, Elaine Benes played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, George Costanza played by Jason Alexander, and Cosmo Kramer played by Michael Richards.
The plot of each episode was centered around the simple activities in life. Situations like standing in line for the movies, going out to dinner, etc. There were minor characters in the show, and the plots included these characters. There was Newman the mailman, the Soup Nazi, and George Costanza's father played by Jerry Stiller.
There were those episodes, who's plot created catch phrases that are now used in American society, such as; "yada, yada, yada". There was a team of more than a dozen writers for the show. The living arrangements with Jerry Seinfeld and Cosmo Kramer was that they lived across the hall from each other. The plot line of every single episode called for Cosmo Kramer to enter Jerry Seinfeld's apartment without knocking. He always came in quickly and slid on the floor for a few inches. Elaine used to be Jerry's girlfriend. Newman the mailman had an edgy relationship with Jerry. Jerry would always address him by his last name in an ominous manner.
Seinfeld has been in syndication since the end of its broadcast run on the NBC network.

Seinfeld News
There's a lot of great stuff coming to Hulu Plus this month...including every "Seinfeld" ever!
The streamer nabbed the exclusive rights after a major bidding war.
It's just another Internet hoax, everyone.
Jerry Seinfeld confirms speculation that a reunion project is in the works, but remains secretive. What do we know about the "Seinfeld" reunion so far?
If you've seen the "Seinfeld" episode "The Stranded," then you know the "dingo" bit. Elaine Benes, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, is at a party where a woman is prattling on about how she can't find her fiancee, eventually calling him "the poor baby." Looking mildly annoyed, Elaine quips in her most stereotypical of stereotypical Aussie accents, "Maybe the dingo ate your baby.
Success making an artist uncomfortable isn't necessarily unusual. It's well documented that Andy Kauffman pretty openly didn't enjoy "Taxi," feeling that it was creatively beneath him. Author and playwright Anthony Burgess admitted years after its publishing that he felt he'd written better works than "A Clockwork Orange." But what must it be like having an unpleasant feeling associated with something named after you, though?
The two clips below prove two things fairly conclusively: first, beauty always resides within the eys (or also, in this instance, ears) of the beholder; and second, that some people can't extricate themselves from their pop-culture worship long enough to get in on a good joke. Oh, to be a synapse on the brain of the very first YouTube video producer who clearly heard popular dubstep artist Skrillex while watching "Seinfeld" and immediately thought "Chocolate, meet Peanut Butte!" and deemed them great tastes that go great together.
The tragic irony of Festivus. The eclectic appeal of a yamaclaus. Can't decide what you love more? No worries, this holiday season, Yidio is giving you the gift of the ultimate holiday hybrid: Festi-Chrismu-kkah!
Happy Festivus, everybody! "The tradition of Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it!" So says Frank Costanza on "Seinfeld" as he explains the holiest of Festivus traditions in the classic episode "The Strike." Read Yidio's own Airing of Grievances for 2011.

The LSU Tigers can win the National Championship this season. Get as picky as you want, but have you noticed where they have won games this year? We can sit down and break down all the details if you'd like, but it's not like we have to fill an hour of talk radio time.
It's not that hard picking out a quality football team that has talent, speed, strength, and a defense that likes to eat its prey while still alive. Jarrett Lee has done a nice job at quarterback, and the Tigers are winning with football plays, not sheer luck or sudden miracles.
What can destroy this team if it's not managed properly is the danger of the poison ego. Let's hope the team and the coaching staff understands why you don't screw up a good thing. Let's hope Jordan Jefferson knows what that means.
Recently, Jefferson said he wants his starting job back. He plans on doing whatever it takes to do so. Yeah I know, competition for playing time is a good thing; it's supposed to make your team stronger. It's the right way to do business.
Let me tell you when it's the wrong thing to do. It's wrong when your ego gets in the way of why and how LSU is the No. 1 team in the country. It's wrong when you get greedy and think two different styles of quarterbacks assures you a National Title.
It's wrong when you can't comprehend what Jarrett Lee has done ... what he has endured and accomplished this season.
Jordan Jefferson needs to cool his public comments and take one for the team. It was Jefferson who screwed things up. He put himself in that bar, not God.
Jefferson needs to realize what the stakes are here. Les Miles better have a tight grasp of what happens to teams when you try to please everyone. Jefferson needs to stop trying to gather votes for the starting position. Keep those comments private.
Lee is the quarterback until his performance dictates otherwise. Jordan Jefferson may have to accept a limited role.
The last thing the Tigers need is having to deal with a player who feels jilted and he speaks publicly about it. This will be Les Miles' biggest test for the rest of the season.
Like the song says, "The Lord is waitin' for ya, but the devil is too."
(LSU beats Florida on Saturday.)

After accepting a promotional opportunity in another state, I had no choice but to put my house on the market during the late fall which was by no means ideal. With very few people looking to buy during that time, you can imagine my angst. Sheryl however kept us very informed along the way telling not to panic and gave me great advice on when I should slightly drop the price a bit or when to hold tight. During the winter months when I was no longer in my home, she also made sure to physically check out my house each week to be sure the furnace was still working and no pipes issues. Another huge weight off my shoulders. She also knows her stuff in regards to marketing. She literally spent one afternoon helping me arrange my furniture to make sure my house photographed well for the online photos. She also uses a professional photographer, so the pictures were great!
I am proud to not only call Sheryl Petrashek my agent, but now also a friend. I remember the day we met to talk through the details of selling my home. Sheryl knew I was a bit emotional about moving but also helped me keep the end goal in perspective throughout the process. The way that she is connected in the area, understands the market and knows how to navigate every part of the selling and buying process is impressive. She listened to my situation, what my kids I were looking for in my new house and then helped me find it. Sheryl's approach to explaining the process and helping me think through next steps couldn't have been more spot on. From start to finish Sheryl has always considered what's best for my family and I and for that I am truly grateful!
I have bought and sold three houses in Dakota County since 1992. I have never had such a great experience with an agent. The whole process from first interview, to closing was absolutely smooth and easy for me, because of Sheryl Petrashek and her staff. They never failed to keep me up on progress, and reassured me when I got nervous!
Sheryl was a true professional helping me sell my home in a fast and efficient manner. I had an offer within 10 days of listing my home and sold at the price that I wanted. In particular, she spent a great deal of time upfront helping me understand the market and getting my home ready to put on the market. She always responded back within hours and is one of the hardest working real estate agents you'll ever find.
Sheryl Petrashek is an amazing Realtor to have representing you. Sheryl not only helped us sell our home by working with us to create cost effective ways to maximize the value of our home. But she also helped us build our dream home. With the expected hiccups in a build, Sheryl helped keep the builder moving forward on our behalf and helped keep us focused on the end goal of our new home. I would strongly recommend Sheryl Petrashek as she will work so hard to help you sell your house and/or find your next home.
Sheryl is the definition of a professional realtor. She loves what she does for a living and it is evident in every phase of the buying or selling process. When we sold our home with Sheryl, she did a very extensive market analysis, provided input on how to ready our home for sale and communicated feedback each time we had a showing. When we had to make a price adjustment while selling, Sheryl provided hard data as to why that was necessary. Sheryl is a wonderful communicator and knows the business inside and out. I recommend her without reservation for any real estate needs.
A friend told me about Sheryl after I asked him to help me find an agent who can help sell my home. I worked with another agent before her, but got no result. Sheryl came in, gave me a professional assessment of what 's needed to market my home successfully. Her and her highly motivated support staff got involved and listed my home in every medium available. Sheryl made frequent follow-up with agents showing my home, and routinely adjusted her marketing strategy to move the house. At the end I got competing offers. Sheryl total involvement along the way was priceless, therefore I highly recommend her and her tireless team to anyone who is looking to sell their home.
We tried selling our house by owner first, then after 40 stressful days, I called Sheryl. We've known her reputation and felt it would be smart to connect with her and see what she brings to the table. The first thing she suggested was raising our price, take new pictures, stage the house and a few other things. As soon as she left, we knew we were in the hands of a true professional. Sheryl's extensive marketing and local connections soon found an offer after just 5 days back on the market. She managed this transaction with the highest level of professionalism and kept the stress down, always looking out for our best interest. If you want to work with the best in the business, call Sheryl!
We went thru much effort to find a realtor that provided a real value added to the process. The recommendation from Greg Bjorkland led to us interviewing you. We were very impressed by the type and degree of analysis done to determine the market for our home; for the multiple channels to the marketplace that you used; your team approach that covered all the time sensitive bases needed to get us to closing; and probably most of all; your really profound ability and insight in analyzing and handling sensitive issues and negotiations. Barb & I found ourselves saying about 6 different times throughout this experience how incredibly grateful we were that we had Sheryl on the job. And I don't hesitate to say that I've never said that about any realtor before. Thank you again!
I have had the best experience with Sheryl buying my house. It's a very exciting time and also a big decision of my life, but she made it sound really fun and simple to me, always gave me feedback on things that made so much sense and made it so easy for me to make my decision. Very knowledgeable, pleasant individual to work with and I am so grateful. Thanks Sheryl.
Sheryl is a dream to work with, she is very knowledgeable about the current market and was able to help us sell our home in Apple Valley. The entire sale was very smooth and there were no surprises as she walked us through every step! I highly recommend Sheryl to anyone selling a home! Thank you Sheryl!
From the moment we met Sheryl, we liked her. She has a personality that sets you at ease and a professionalism and knowledge that give you loads of confidence in her guidance. Our home values had been negatively impacted by neighborhood foreclosures and lack of comps, but Sheryl put her real estate expertise to use and was able to market our home in such an amazing way that we were able to sell our home for much more than we had hoped! (We had two offers in four days- one for asking price and one for more than asking!) I might also add that we were out of town for much of the time due to a work relocation, and Sheryl kept a close eye on all of the details in our absence and made sure everything ran smoothly. We would definitely recommend Sheryl Petrashek for any of your real estate needs. She is the complete package- friendly, professional, knowledgable, and detail oriented.
This is my second time working with Sheryl and she was every bit as thorough and knowledgable as she was when I worked with her the first time in 2006. It's clear she really knows the process and had everything covered before anything ever occurred to me to ask her about. I'll definitely look her up the next time I need anything handled in the realm of real estate, and certainly I'll refer people I know to her as well!
Sheryl is a fantastic realtor. She always vey helpful at trying to find the perfect house you have in mind and then she will go the extra mile to make sure you get that perfect home. I have had the opportunity to work with Sheryl several times and each time I have been completely satisfied. This last home we bought required a lot of time and Sheryl was always great at keeping us informed of how things were coming along and explaining why it was taking so long. I always had lots of questions and Sheryl always knew the answer. Thanks Sheryl….you are the best!!! I will always recommend you to everyone that is going to be either purchasing or selling a home.
Sheryl has been everything I would have hoped in a realtor when we decided to buy our home. She came highly recommended from a co-worker, and I can definitely see why. Even though I am sure Sheryl has numerous clients she is working with, she always makes me feel like I am her only client. She worked day and night to help my husband and I find the perfect home, and we did! And even after that, she checked in with us to make sure we didn't have any questions and we knew what the next steps would be. I cannot say enough how much easier our home buying process was because she was our realtor. She gets two huge thumbs up!
I could not have been more impressed with Sheryl (and also her husband Bo). This duo was super helpful, not only with their knowledge of the area, schools, and neighborhoods; but also with being able to understand our taste and lead us to the perfect home and community! They are by far the best experience we have had with a realtor. They were patient, responsive, always flexible and available, but most importantly they were a lot of fun to work with.
Sheryl Petrashek has sold 2 homes for me in the past year. The first one sold, with multiple offers, in 2 days. The second one sold, with multiple offers, in 3 days. I now live in TX and being able to handle all this long-distance was very important. Everything went exactly as it should both times. I have 3 more MN homes I will sell in the future. I will sell them through Sheryl.
Sheryl was such a pleasure to work with while selling our house and buying a new home. It is clear that she loves what she does and she is very knowledgeable about the market. She gave us some tips about putting our house on the market early in the spring to get a jump start and she was completely right – our house sold in just one day! She made what could have been a completely stressful experience smooth and enjoyable. She was always quick to respond to any questions and always made us feel like we were her most important clients. We highly recommend Sheryl!
Sheryl and Bo went above and beyond expectation with ideas, personal attention and services for enhancing my buying experience on both the buying and selling side of the equation. They were organized, professional and set expectations that ultimately proved to be spot on.
Sheryl Petrashek has been our realtor for many years. She has helped us with several real estate transactions, both buying and selling. Sheryl is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and very professional. We would highly recommend her to everyone. She and her wonderful team have gone above and beyond to ensure a very smooth process with each of our real estate transactions.
She was communicative, efficient and worked very hard to help us sell our home! Our townhouse sold faster than we thought and we got what we wanted for it. She was very helpful!!
Sheryl and her team helped us sell a difficult piece of property, a condominium we owned for quite awhile. They were wonderful! Her team handled the complicated sale extremely well! They were always responsive and thoughtful. Sheryl especially, helped walk us through the process and always communicated what the next steps would be so we could stay prepared. I really felt that they put our needs first and they did it with a smile. Even though they were busy, we always felt like we were their only clients. Sheryl was the perfect Realtor to sell our home. We will definitely use her again for our future real estate needs and we would recommend everyone we know to her and her team.
We have used Sheryl to sell and buy two homes in the last 15 years and have found her to be the ultimate professional. From tips on preparing our home right down to negotiating a PA. She was always a phone call away. We have also referred her to two different family members over the years and would not hesitate to refer her again.
I had a great experience with Sheryl and her entire team. She was available for questions anytime I had them and was flexible in scheduling time to view properties. I'd highly recommend her to anyone else I know that is purchasing a home as her knowledge and expertise made my home buying experience fun, exciting and most of all, painless. Aaron, Maple Grove
Sheryl was very knowledgeable and took the time to listen to our needs with the sale of our home. She kept us informed of the current market and future trends that may have an impact on our sale. she took a lot of pressure off by keeping us always informed as we were not present for most of the process. I highly recommend Sheryl to anyone selling or purchasing of a home. If you listen to Sheryl's advice on staging your home and the current market you will have a very good chance of selling your home.
We did a google search of realtors in our area and that's how we met Sheryl. We knew after our first phone call to her that we wanted her to be our realtor. Sheryl is incredibly patient and good at explaining what to expect in the home selling/buying process. When looking at homes, she took the time to educate us on the pros and cons of each home. She knew what we wanted when we often didn't know what we wanted ourselves. We also had the pleasure of meeting her husband Bo who was equally a joy to meet. We wanted to see a home on short notice and Bo stepped in for Sheryl. Her whole team is wonderful and they were always there to answer our questions. We really enjoyed looking at homes with Sheryl and will miss doing that now that she found us our home. We will definitely suggest her to anyone we know looking to buy/sell a home.
Sheryl was such a joy to work with when selling our first home! She made the process very smooth and my husband and I knew we could trust her with every detail. She was upfront and honest so we had very real expectations when listing our home. She exceeds the competitors in marketing and knowledge of the market. We always knew Sheryl was on our side and in every situation she represented us with integrity and professionalism. We would refer all of our family and friends to her and we will definitely be customers of hers again. We had an offer on our home in 3 days and sold our home more quickly than we imagined! Sheryl and her team are wonderful!
Sheryl leveraged her strong knowledge of the real estate marketplace and her negotiation skills to obtain a lucrative price for the home we recently sold and assist us in the purchase of our new home. She took care to ensure that all aspects of the sale and purchase processes kept progressing on a timely basis and handled obstacles skillfully to support our best interest. I would highly recommend Sheryl's services to anyone and everyone in need of a professional who gets the job done!
Sheryl is a very caring agent.She will do everything she can to help you. She also found us a home. She is the best you can find. Thanks for everything. By the way Bo is great too.
Sheryl – You represent the essence of what we feel a realtor should be. Your commitment to the sale of our home was always present as we felt completely assured that everything was under control. Your knowledge in the market and explanations to our questions were always communicated in a prompt response weather it was directly from you or one of your assistants in your office. Thank you for making us feel as though we were your only client even though we were aware of how perpetually busy you were. We have and will continue to recommend you to everyone we know!! Blessings!
I recently sold my home and used Sheryl and her team as my realtor. Before the transaction was even complete I was already recommending her to my family and friends. She has such a broad understanding of the market and has a passion for what she does. I really appreciated the one on one time she spent with me to explain the market conditions, my home's value and all of the options available to me. Sheryl is my realtor for life!
Sheryl was very knowledgeable. She was always quick with answers to questions and right on top of the whole process. I would recommend Sheryl to anyone needing a real estate agent.
Working with Sheryl & Bo Petrashek along with her team in the selling of our townhome in Burnsville and our home purchase in Apple Valley far exceeded our expectations on many levels. From our first meeting she put us at ease answering all of our questions. As I'm sure she would tell ya there were many. Also being easily accessible and just over all great having her in our corner working for us. To be honest now that we close this Thursday, the only downfall is that we will actually miss her. If the need ever arises where you're in the market to buy or sell I would highly recommend Sheryl and her team. I know she will always be my go to should we need an agent.
I am beyond delighted with the services I received from Sheryl, and her team! Sheryl's marketing strategies for the sale of my townhome were incredibly well thought and professional, and as a result, my townhome sold very quickly. In a competitive market, Sheryl ensured that I was able to see new homes as soon as possible during my search for a new home. Sheryl, and her team, remained in constant contact, and they were always there to answer any questions that I had, or schedule a showing at the drop of a hat. The selling, and buying, processes were beyond smooth and I couldn't be more grateful for the services I received. Sheryl's years of experience, marketing strategies, and communication made the selling, and buying, processes painless and easy. I would highly recommend Sheryl's services for your selling and buying needs. Thanks for everything to Sheryl, and team!
Sheryl and Bo are a great team and put together an outstanding marketing plan for our home. The result was seven showings and multiple offers in three days on the market and a sale for more than our asking price. The follow through on the details has been outstanding. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great agent.
Sheryl has been great throughout the entire process of finding and negotiating the purchase of our new home. We feel as though we have always been her top priority. Her responsiveness to our questions and concerns and her dedication to our project has been outstanding. Her knowledge of the local area and the constructions methods and terminology is impressive beyond compare. She has made the entire experience very pleasant and painless. We will highly recommend her to anyone planning to buy a home.
Sheryl was referred to us for our unique home buying experience. Her understanding our of needs ensured that our initial property purchase would ultimately allow us to fulfill on our home building goals. Sheryl market knowledge with property visits were always spot on and informative. She always had her information prepared and outlined to provide the best options a property had to offer. Sheryl's candor navigating those options was very much appreciated, as she always kept our long term goals in site. Sheryl is an "all-in" agent. She will ensure that your expectations – start to finish – will be met, and that your home buying experience will be a pleasant one!
Sheryl is absolutely wonderful! In this economy I thought selling our home would be next to impossible but Sheryl made it so easy! Sheryl will go that extra mile for you. She is extremely knowledgeable and offered great advice and recommendations to get our home ready for showings. She is not only very professional but very likeable and friendly. I highly recommend Sheryl and look forward to working with her to buy my next home!
Sheryl Petrashek is a fantastic realtor! I have bought and sold several homes thru Sheryl for quite a few years and know that she does an exceptional job and goes above and beyond what any realtor would do. I recently once again listed my home thru Sheryl and as I knew from before she would be there and help thru every step of the process. Sheryl is not only a great listener and will help you find exactly the home you are looking for she also understands the market and knows how to navigate every part of buying and selling a home. Sheryl and her great office staff makes buying and selling a home seem flawless and very easy.
This is a second time that I worked with Sheryl in purchasing my home and all I can say that both times I felt like I was her only client. I had specific need for a particular floor plan and she was amazing at finding exactly want I needed/wanted. She puts time and effort to make her clients fully satisfied. She is extremely knowledgable and gives great advice.
I first met Sheryl in 2006 when we sold our first home. She impressed me immediately. She's knowledgeable, experienced and savvy in real estate. Sheryl calmly explains the process because it can be overwhelming and stressful, at least for me. Her "customer service level" is understanding as she returns calls or emails in a timely manner or her "team" does. My husband and I would give Sheryl Petrashek and 5 star A+ rating and would recommend her without hesitation. I have given my entire family her name for their future real estate needs! THANK YOU SHERYL FOR EVERYTHING!
Hard worker doesn't even begin to describe Sheryl's drive to go above and beyond the call of duty. She is extremely knowledgeable and without a doubt has her client's best interest in mind. Would choose her again and again and would highly recommend!!
Sheryl and her team are fantastic. They were there every step of the way for us. We sold our house in 4 days for the asking price. We would recommend Sheryl to anyone.
Sheryl is in the process of helping us to prepare and understand the current market. Her knowledge of the real estate trends and in depth analysis allows us to maximize the sale of our home. Along with her being patient, helpful, enthusiastic and the most understanding person to work with! We look forward on working with her!!
I am so glad I got to work with Sheryl and Remax Results. Sheryl was open, totally flexible to my schedule, and very good at keeping me updated and informed about homes available. After helping me finally find the perfect place the entire team did a great job of guiding me through the process and preparing me for an easy and successful closing. Honestly, I don't think finding and buying a home has ever been easier. Thanks
Sheryl was a great realtor to work with. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and worked with us to promote and sell our home. She is easy to work with and also has a great team working with her. We highly recommend Sheryl to anyone looking to sell their home or her assistance in buying a new home. She definitely takes great care of her clients.
Working with Sheryl has been great. She's extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the buying and selling process and is able to give expert advise. She and her staff are very organized and do a wonderful job of keeping us informed of all the moving parts. We appreciate the work of Sheryl and all the others who have helped us with this process.
I can't say enough about Sheryl and her services. I'm completely impressed and satisfied with the handling of the sale of my home. Sheryl's honesty and integrity shines through from the beginning to the end of the process of selling my home. She did a fantastic job marketing my home and delivered exactly what I wanted/needed to sell my condo. Sheryl and her office made selling flawless and very easy.
Sheryl is very knowledgable . Keeps up with market trends and advises you accordingly. Easy to work with. Does a great job working with you to get your house ready to place on market. Answers phone calls promptly and calls you on the progress of the sale.

The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
The stock market has had an incredible run, rising 65% from its March 2009 lows. But while the S&P's surge has been sensational, there are still cheap stocks out there -- if you know where to look. I asked three of our Foolish analysts to highlight one stock they think is trading too darn cheap:
Jeff Fischer, advisor, Motley Fool Pro and Motley Fool Options
AmTrust Financial Services (Nasdaq: AFSI ) is a little-known insurance provider working in predictable, underserved niche markets where it holds competitive advantages. Focused on workers compensation insurance for really small businesses that are less likely to lay off employees, the company enjoys greater than 80% policy renewal rates, collecting healthy premiums year after year. In addition, AmTrust also offers extended warranty protection on consumer products, as well as property and casualty insurance.
With most of its investment portfolio planted in A-rated bonds, AmTrust sidestepped the financial meltdown of 2008 and remains on solid footing. Direct premiums earned rose from $148 million in 2004 to more than $1 billion in 2009, and they're still growing, while the company has one of the strongest combined ratios in the industry and consistently earns a return on equity of above 20%. At current prices, the stock fetches a modest 1.3 times book value, seven times earnings, and yields 1.9%. With tangible book value up 13% in 2009 and 14% over the past 12 months, the stock should continue to appreciate as book value grows, while offering lower-than-average risk.
Bryan Hinmon, analyst, Motley Fool Pro
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) is just getting too cheap to ignore. The company has grown revenue by 9% and earnings by 13% for each of the past five years and has generated enough free cash flow to make Bill Gates blush. And even though Microsoft is "cool to hate," it is incredibly shareholder-friendly, having returned $100 billion to shareholders over the past five years via dividends and share repurchases.
I also like that Microsoft is attacking the cloud computing threat head-on with its Azure platform. The company's response to its cloud computing competition has been atypically aggressive -- just take a look at its in-your-face website whymicrosoft.com, where Mr. Softy takes a direct whack at a certain Internet juggernaut. Package up the saucy new Microsoft with a bow and a 7.5 times enterprise value to EBITDA price tag and you can see why it was the first stock selected for the Fool DRIP Portfolio.
Jason Moser, analyst, Motley Fool Inside Value
While the market has had a nice run over the past year and a half, Fidelity National Financial (NYSE: FNF ) seems to have missed the boat a bit. I understand why, though. I mean, we are talking about a title insurer here. As in housing. As in the housing market is still getting killed and it doesn't look like it is going to be getting much better real soon.
But as a title insurer, Fidelity makes its money when houses change hands. Title insurance protects buyers (and lenders) from any potential outstanding claims on the property, and it is a necessary cost of doing business. With the housing market still in shambles, Fidelity's volume is down. But no worries, these things move in cycles, and as inventory starts moving again Fidelity will see an uptick in business. After all, together with First American Financial (NYSE: FAF ) -- the industry's second-largest player, and another company that should benefit from a housing resurgence -- Fidelity controls 70% of the title insurance market. As a bonus, Fidelity's $3 billion investment portfolio should benefit from the eventual increase in interest rates.
The Foolish conclusion

Attrition: We've got a bit of a problem here. All six nominees return for another shot at this category, including winner Melissa McCarthy. However, by my very conservative count, there are at least four new candidates who all have STRONG claims on nominations for a variety of reasons. And then there are two or three new contenders who *I* would strongly consider giving votes to if I had votes. It's reasonable to look at that Top 6 and imagine a minimum of two or three dropping out of the category and very plausibly three or four, including last year's winner. And it's not like the six women nominated LAST year weren't worthy. So... Yeah. I'm less sure of my predictions in this category than any other gallery I've done so far.

I have an Infiniti FX35 wirh a US DVD marked DVM-X6060 and I search an Europe DVD, which DVD I can download? Sorry for my bad english!!!
All questions should be directed through the forum
Private messages will be disregarded
Can someone please tell me which navigation dvd i need for a 2005 fx45? The car is american but i need european navigation dvd.
Carminat Navigation Communication - Europe V31.1
Hello to you all.
I am infix 35 from the Netherlands. And bought a Infiniti FX 35 build 2005 which was imported to the Netherlands in 2007. The original USA navigation is still in and working. But I want to navigate with this system in Europe.
The question is; what do I have to do to make this work. The USA DVD, which is in the DVD rom unit in the car it at the moment, is map version 6.3 and further there it printed on the DVD rom; F0E 287R 0B OS X6.0 and further; 25920-CR94A and DVM X6051(US)
Can any one help me to get it to work for Europe. Where can I download all the nescesary firmware, software ore what I need more???
many thanks already.
Hello Hell,
I already saw that, but to be honest, I do not know whta to do with that. The link bringst me to all kinds of rar and ISO maps and I am not to good with all that stuf. Is there a manual to what to do with that. Does it contains new software ore firmware and does the USA navigation Unit accept that??
Please give me some aid??
Thanks already
I think downloading assembling and finally burning maps are beyond the scope of this forum, but generally you should download all parts , unrar them into one .iso file and burn it for example with IMGburn (free). the map does not contain any firmware neither you need one. your US car should accept the european map with no prob.
Generally speaking you may save yourself the trouble of this excercise. There are many examples of this problem with US imports
AFAIK the unit needs to be replaced completely since it will not work with European map software
There all also examples of different suppliers of the hardware. Xanavi will be the supplier for European units whereas Alpine might serve the US Market.
Some brands of navigation can be reprogrammed with the aid of some hobbyists but never officially

Human rights commissions across Canada are adapting to an ever changing society
The following is the third in a three-part series on the P.E.I. Human Rights Commission.
Decades after they were created, human rights commissions across the country are evolving to make sure Canadians' rights are protected.
But dealing with human rights complaints is no small task, such as in Prince Edward Island where the Human Rights Commission gets about 1,500 phone inquiries a year from people who have concerns about their rights.
Only a fraction of those will lead to complaint investigations, and even fewer will ever end up in front of a commission panel for a hearing.
P.E.I. Human Rights Commission executive director Greg Howard said there is a settlement success rate of more than 90 per cent and it's very unusual for complaints to be referred to a panel hearing.
"That tells you how much we try to emphasize settlement and the uncertainties of the panel process," he said.
But even though most cases don't make it to a hearing, the P.E.I. Human Rights Commission has more than 100 complaint files underway every year and the complaint process can take time.
It's a process Halifax lawyer Randy Kinghorne, who has worked on several human rights complaint cases in Nova Scotia, has seen take years in some cases. He said that's too long.
"Everybody, I think, has agreed on that," he said.
Kinghorne said in any other litigation, or claim outside the human rights commission, the complainant has to decide what the value is to them, they hire a lawyer, go to court and fight for it.
But with the human rights commission, the process isn't the same because the commission represents the complainant at the board of inquiry, he said.
"There's no incentive to judge the value of your own case and decide whether or not it's worth proceeding with," he said.
Kinghorne said even if there is a finding a complaint was made in bad faith, the respondent can't recover any of their costs.
"You still have no recourse as the proper respondent," he said.
Although he's not opposed to the system, Kinghorne said it would be better if there were other methods of recourse a complainant had to go through before the commission process, such as labour arbitration boards.
"If I had one major complaint about the human rights commission (it) is that it really tries to be everything to everybody," Kinghorne said.
Wayne MacKay, a professor at the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University in Halifax and a former executive director of the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, said commissions around the country have been making changes.
MacKay said some provinces, such as Ontario and British Columbia, have a process that allows a complaint to move straight to a tribunal without going through an investigation first.
While he thinks progress is being made, MacKay said he isn't convinced eliminating a commission's gatekeeper role is a good thing because people then have to represent themselves or hire a lawyer and there is no confidentiality.
"That's one of the problems potentially with the direct tribunal access is that it's more expensive for complainants and it is public," he said.
MacKay said that even with different tribunals there is a need for human rights commissions in some form, although they could be updated to deal with current issues, such as providing balance for everyone involved.
There are improvements that can be made to human rights commissions, but as long as they continue to evolve they will still be valuable for their roles in a fair, less discriminatory society, he said.
"They've been fairly successful on parts of their mandate, not so successful on others but as institutions go I think they've done a fairly decent job," he said.
MacKay said there are a lot of people who don't have a positive view of human rights commissions, often with the opinion that respondents aren't treated fairly in the process.
"Sometimes that's just a lack of proper information and sometimes it's true."
Among the provinces that have made changes is Saskatchewan where Mary Eberts, human rights chair at the University of Saskatchewan, said her province left the commission in place with a mandate to educate the public and investigate complaints.
But changes to Saskatchewan's human rights laws gave the commission's chief commissioner the power to force settlement or throw out a complaint, she said.
"So basically they've kind of made the chief commissioner the king of whether a complaint can go forward or not," she said.
Eberts said the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission has always been interested in negotiating settlements, but under the current system there are fewer investigators, which means the chief commissioner can force people to settle without knowing if the case has any merit.
If one side has more resources to look at the strengths and weaknesses of a case, it can give that party an advantage, she said.
"The people with the big pocket books can resist a settlement."
That's what Eberts said happened in Ontario where there is no investigation involved in the complaint process.
In Ontario it's the complainant who has to bear the costs associated with the complaint, she said.
"I think it penalizes the human rights complainant."
In P.E.I., the human rights commission investigates complaints and can dismiss them or eventually send them to panel hearings, if the two sides can't reach a settlement.
Eberts said she doesn't think there is much wrong with models like P.E.I.'s, which are fair to the complainant, although they are often underfunded and could do a better job of managing their workloads.
"A combination of better government funding and better management of the workload by the commission would have made that old model work much better," she said.
When it comes to the P.E.I. Human Rights Commission, any changes would have to go the through the legislative assembly with amendments to the Human Rights Act. Howard said the system was revamped in 1998 and he didn't know of any proposed changes to the way the process works on the Island.
"Other provinces are changing it to make it look more like ours," he said.

A bit brighter sounding than the Cyrus 2, but partnered with the right equipment it's a dynamic performer. A good phono stage built in too.
Cyrus One (1990)
Thank you for sharing the manuals.
I've been using this remarkable amplifier since 1990 and have served me without any hiccups except for burnt fuses now and again. I have yet to send the amp for a major service but I think I would do it myself with the help of your shared manuals.
IMO this amp although coming into its 22 years still sounds the same as and when I bought it back in 1990 in Brighton, England. I also bought the Cyrus 780, Marantz CD62 and finally the Linn Basik Akito/K9 t-table. This setup is still with me here in Malaysia. The best combination.
re: Cyrus One (1990)
Hi Jumpstat,
I too have been using my Cyrus 1 since the early 90's and I have just found myself in the situation where I need to use it with headphones. Plugging in my 'phones doesn't cut out the speaker output (apparently by design). Do you happen to know whether it's safe to run the amp without the speakers being plugged in? I know that my guitar amp shouldn't be used without speakers. Is it the same for the Cyrus?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice that you could offer,
muchas gracias por el manual,y el esfuerzo
