Brevard wipes out Wheaton, 7-2March 8, 2009
Hilton Head, S.C. – The Brevard College women's tennis team started their spring break trip to the beach with an easy win over Wheaton College, 7-2, Sunday afternoon. The win snaps a brief two-game losing slide for the Tornados.
Singles play came first on Sunday, and Brevard (5-3, 0-2 South Atlantic Conference) took five of six points. At the top spot, Lindsay Shaffer won a tight battle over Catherine Teague, 5-7, 6-2, 10-7, and in the No. 2 spot, Lindsay Hostetter beat Sarah Geocaris, 6-3, 6-4. Kayley Duval won the third flight, 6-3, 6-3 over Ellen Van Faasen, and the fourth match was taken by Jennifer Nyman, 4-6, 6-4, 10-3, over Rosalyn Chesky.
Wheaton's only singles point came at No. 5, where Mallory Farmer beat Kim Dixon, 0-6, 6-4, 10-6, but the Tornados took the sixth point, as Sara Douglas beat Oriana Federico, 6-0, 6-2.
The Tornados also took two of three doubles points over Wheaton (11-4). Shaeffer and Dixon beat Teague and Geocaris, 8-6, in the top flight, and in the second match Hostetter and Duval slid past Van Faasen and Chesky, 8-5. Wheaton took the No. 3 point, as Farmer and Federico beat Nyman and Merek Slagle, 8-4.
The Tornados play their second Hilton Head match tomorrow against Tiffin.

Bill and Hillary Clinton
The theme for the annual White House Christmas is a well-kept secret until early December when plans are revealed by the First Lady. This can be difficult when the nation's best folk artists and craftsmen are anxiously awaiting the theme so they may begin designing and hand crafting ornaments for the White House tree. In 1993, artisans from each of the fifty states, territories, and the District of Columbia used a variety of quilting techniques in creating the individual panels of a green velvet tree skirt in honor of the Clinton family's first holiday season at the White House.
For Christmas 1994, a beautiful 18-foot Colorado blue spruce arrived at the White House from Clinton County, Missouri. The theme that year was "The Twelve Days of Christmas," one of the First Family's favorite holiday songs.
In 1998, Mrs. Clinton encouraged everyone to relive their holiday memories. Artists from across the country were asked to craft ornaments in the spirit of the season from miniature snowmen to tiny skis, skates, toboggans, colorful mittens and hats to complete the theme of a Winter Wonderland.

Should I agree ahead of time with my attorney to resolve fee disputes through the FDRP rather than the courts?
Should I agree ahead of time with my attorney to resolve fee disputes through the FDRP rather than the courts and waive the right to de novo review?
What is the FDRP?
Lawyers in New York State are generally required to provide their
clients with retainer agreements or letters of engagement which
discuss the fees and expenses to be charged. At the initial
conference with your lawyer, you should request a retainer agreement
or letter of engagement and ask any questions you may have regarding
the fee to be charged.
Despite the letter of engagement and discussions about fees, sometimes disputes arise. In general, your lawyer may not sue you in court over a fee dispute unless he or she first provided you with notice of your right to utilize the FDRP. Once you have received this notice you have 30 days to decide whether to use the FDRP. If you don't choose to participate in the FDRP within 30 days, your lawyer is free to pursue the matter in court.
The FDRP is made up of a network of State-approved and monitored local programs that resolve attorney-client fee disputes outside of court through arbitration.
What is the fee arbitration?
Arbitration is a hearing conducted by one or more neutral persons who have special training and experience. One arbitrator or a panel of three arbitrators (at least one of whom must be a nonlawyer) listen to the arguments on both sides and decide the outcome of the dispute. Fee arbitration is fair, inexpensive and usually faster than going to court.
What is the fee mediation?
In addition to arbitration, some local programs may offer mediation. This is a process by which both sides meet with the assistance of a trained mediator to clarify issues and explore options for a mutually acceptable resolution. Mediation provides the opportunity for you and your attorney to discuss your concerns and reach a satisfactory result without going to court. Unlike an arbitrator, the mediator does not issue a decision. Participation in mediation is voluntary for your attorney and you, and it does not waive your right to arbitration. If you are interested in resolving your dispute through mediation, you may indicate this on the Request for Arbitration form. However, not every local program offers mediation.
When does the FDRP Apply?
- Your attorney practices in New York and your case involved a civil matter (personal injury and criminal cases are not covered);
- The amount in dispute is between $1,000 and $50,000 (fee disputes can involve fees that you have already paid your attorney and for which you seek a refund, or fees that your attorney claims are owed by you);
- The legal representation began on or after January 1, 2002;
- Your attorney has rendered services to you within two years prior to the filing of the request for fee arbitration.
What if I have a question about my attorney's bill, but I'm not sure if I have a fee dispute?
Fee arbitration provides clients and attorneys with an out-of-court option for resolving fee disputes, but that doesn't mean it's necessary or a good idea in your case. If you have a problem with your lawyer's bill, you should say so. Sometimes much unpleasantness can be prevented if you and your lawyer simply talk things over. Ask your lawyer to explain why the bill is higher than you expected. You may find out that your case was more complicated than you expected and took more time than you realized. Or your lawyer may agree that it is appropriate to adjust the bill. If discussion does not solve the problem, you can take the dispute to arbitration under the FDRP or choose to resolve it in court.
What types of cases are excluded from the rule under 137.1(b)(5) [disputes where the fee to be paid by the client has been determined pursuant to statute or rule and allowed as of right by a court; or where the fee has been determined pursuant to a court order]?
While the FDRP applies to most civil cases, there are some case types where other rules and laws govern attorneys' fees. For example, the court has jurisdiction to review and approve attorneys' fees in bankruptcy proceedings and in certain instances involving estates matters in Surrogates' Court. In these cases, the FDRP would not be the right place to resolve your fee dispute.
In other case types, attorneys' fees may be regulated by schedules imposed by statutes or rules. For example, fees charged on a contingent basis in medical, dental or podiatric malpractice cases; contingency fees in personal injury, property damage and wrongful death cases; and attorneys' fees in social security disability cases.
These are just some examples of exceptions. If you are unsure if your case is appropriate for the FDRP, please call your local program administrator for help.
Who administers the program and how much does it cost?
The FDRP's Board of Governors has approved a number of local programs which administer the FDRP on a region by region basis. These local programs are run by bar associations or by the court system's regional Administrative Judges. All local programs have been carefully reviewed to ensure that they will resolve fee disputes in a fair, impartial and efficient manner. To find out which local program has jurisdiction over your fee dispute you need to identify the county in which the majority of the legal services in your case were performed. This is usually (but not always) the county where your lawyer's office is located.
The cost of utilizing the FDRP varies from program to program. You can find out about local program fees by checking the local programs section of the FDRP web site. Local programs charge about the same or less than it costs to file a case in court.
How does the fee arbitration process start?
There are three ways
in which you can enter the FDRP. In all three situations,
the filing of a Request for Fee Arbitration form officially starts
the process.
Situation 1. Your lawyer has mailed you a Notice of Client's Right to Arbitrate.
A dispute over fees exists between you and your lawyer and he or she has provided you with a form entitled "Notice of Client's Right to Arbitrate" (UCS 137-1). You now have 30 days to decide whether to utilize the FDRP by filing a form entitled "Client Request for Fee Arbitration" (UCS 137-4a) with the appropriate local program. Once you file the Client Request for Fee Arbitration your attorney will be required to participate in the FDRP unless your dispute is one that the FDRP is not designed to handle.
If you do not file the Request for Fee Arbitration within 30 days, you lose your right to utilize the FDRP and your lawyer will be free to take legal action.
Situation 2. You have not received the Notice of Client's Right to Arbitrate.
You have not received the Notice of Client's Right to Arbitrate from your lawyer but decided to look into the FDRP on your own. You may have found information on this website, contacted a local program directly or asked your attorney to provide you with information about the FDRP. If you believe you have a fee dispute you should read the Fee Dispute Brochure carefully. If you then want to use the FDRP, complete the Client Request for Arbitration form by downloading a packet from the local program's page (UCS 137-4a) and file it with the local program. Once you file this form, your attorney will be required to participate in the FDRP unless your dispute is one the FDRP is not designed to handle.
Situation 3. You and your lawyer have agreed ahead of time to use the FDRP.
You and your attorney previously agreed in writing to resolve fee disputes through the FDRP rather than in court. You probably agreed to this option when your attorney first began representing you and after you had the opportunity to read about the FDRP and how it works. If you believe that you have a fee dispute, you may simply file the Client Request for Arbitration form (UCS 137 - 4a) with the local program, together with a copy of the agreement to arbitrate. Filing the request form with the local program will start the process and your attorney will be required to participate.
Alternatively, your attorney can start the process by filing a Request for Arbitration with the appropriate local program. If your attorney starts the process, you will be required to participate under the terms of your agreement.
I filed a request for fee arbitration, what happens now?
The process officially
starts once you file the Client Request for Arbitration form with
the local program (and pay the administrative fee, if there is one). Upon
receiving your Request for Arbitration, the local
program administrator
will forward it to the attorney, who then has 15 days to complete
an Attorney Response form (UCS 137-5a) and return it to the local
program, with a copy to you.
Unless the fee dispute is rejected by the local program for jurisdictional reasons, you will then be given 15 days advance notice of the time and place of the arbitration hearing and the identity of the arbitrator(s).
Prior to the arbitration hearing someone from the local program may contact you in an effort to settle the dispute. In addition, some local programs may offer mediation services and you may be asked whether you wish to participate in mediation. Mediation is voluntary for both sides. If one side does not wish to mediate, or the attempt at mediation proves unsuccessful, the next step in the process is the arbitration hearing.
What is the procedure at the arbitration hearing?
Both parties have the right to present evidence and call witnesses. The burden of proof is on the attorney to prove the reasonableness of the disputed fee by a preponderance of the evidence. The attorney must present documentation of the work performed and the billing history. If witnesses are called, both parties have the right to question the witnesses at the hearing. Arbitration is less formal than court, so you do not necessarily need a lawyer to help you prepare for and/or represent you at the hearing. However, you may, of course, appear with an attorney at your own expense.
What happens after the arbitration hearing?
Your arbitration hearing will result in a decision (arbitration award) issued by the arbitrator(s) within 30 days of the hearing. The arbitration award will be final and binding on both you and your attorney, unless either of you seeks a trial de novo within 30 days.
I received an arbitration award in my favor that requires the other side to pay me money. The 30 days to commence a trial de novo has passed. How do I get my money from the other side?
In most instances, the party against whom the award has been rendered will pay as the arbitration award becomes binding on the parties if de novo review is not sought. However, if payment does not occur, the arbitration award must be confirmed and entered as a judgment of the court to be enforceable. You have one year after the date of delivery of the award to confirm the award by commencing a proceeding in the appropriate court. Confirmation of arbitration awards is governed by CPLR 7510.
What if I am not happy with the arbitrator's decision?
If you are unhappy with the arbitrator's decision, you may reject the award and commence a trial de novo. A trial de novo means that either you or your attorney can reject the arbitration award by filing a court action within 30 days after the award has been mailed. The arbitration award is not used as evidence in the court case. A trial de novo is not an appeal and you do not have to argue that the arbitrator was wrong. By commencing the new action you essentially erase the arbitration award and start over.
Since a trial de novo obviously will add significantly to the time and expense of resolving your fee dispute, you and your attorney may wish to waive this right ahead of time in writing. However, keep in mind that if you do so and agree to final and binding arbitration, the arbitrators' decision can be vacated only on very limited grounds. Vacating an award is different from a trial de novo. It is more like an appeal of the award and in order to vacate the award, the court must review the award itself and determine whether it should be overturned. This process is governed by CPLR Article 75.
How do I commence a trial de novo?
Whether you are commencing an action requesting declaratory relief (I don't owe the other party money) or monetary relief (The other party owes me money), effective January 1, 2011, you may commence the action in any court that has jurisdiction over the amount in dispute. However, the Town and Village Courts do not have jurisdiction to entertain declaratory judgment actions. Please see the answer below for the courts' monetary jurisdictions.
What are the courts' monetary jurisdictions?
The Supreme Court, a statewide court, has unlimited jurisdiction (e.g. any amount) but generally hears cases outside the authority of the lower courts such as civil matters beyond the monetary limits of the lower courts' jurisdiction. Claims for more than $25,000 in New York City must be filed in Supreme Court. Claims for more than $15,000, outside New York City, must also be filed in Supreme Court.
In New York City, claims for $5,000 or less may be filed in the Small Claims Court and claims for $25,000 or less may be filed in the New York City Civil Court.
Outside New York City, claims for $3,000 or less may be filed in the Town and Village Courts and claims for $15,000 or less may be filed in the City Court. If in Nassau County, and certain parts of Suffolk County, claims for $15,000 or less may be filed in the District Court.
Should I agree ahead of time with my attorney to resolve fee disputes through the FDRP rather than the courts?
It's up to you. Your attorney cannot force you to enter into such an agreement. The FDRP offers a quick, inexpensive and informal means of resolving fee disputes. Litigation in the courts can take longer and cost more. Unlike litigation in the courts, arbitration is confidential and closed to the public. The speed, informality and less confrontational nature of arbitration allows the parties to quickly get on with their lives.
On the other hand, you may prefer the formality of a lawsuit, and to have your dispute resolved by a judge or jury rather than by arbitrators. In a lawsuit, you have the right to conduct depositions and engage in pretrial fact finding, which are generally not permitted in arbitration, and to appeal a judgment that you think is contrary to law.
So think it over carefully. To enter into a valid agreement ahead of time, the agreement must be in writing and specify that you read the written materials describing the rules and procedures of the FDRP and the appropriate local program.
Should I agree ahead of time with my attorney to resolve fee disputes through the FDRP rather than the courts and waive the right to de novo review?
If you want to preserve your right to go to court to resolve disputes over fees, then you may wish to avoid final and binding arbitration and you should not waive your right to a trial de novo. On the other hand, if you are interested in achieving closure quickly and inexpensively and want to avoid litigation in the courts, then you may wish to choose final and binding arbitration by waiving your right to a trial de novo.
To enter into a valid agreement ahead of time and waive the right to de novo review, the agreement must be in writing and specify that you read the written materials describing the rules and procedures of the FDRP and of the appropriate local program. The written agreement must specify that you understand that you are waiving your right to a trial de novo.

Ratings for Dr. Giribala R. Patel
My husband came to Dr. Patel with colon cancer. Dr. Patel addressed the cancer very agressively, and today it is nowhere to be seen. Her compassion, knowledge, and ability to treat the individual is remarkable. Dr. Patel and God gave me back my husband. Deborah in Yorba Linda, Ca.
I have been under Dr Patel's care for 8 years and have found her to be one of the most caring & compassionate Dr's through my cancer illness. I thank God for Dr Patel, her relentless drive to help cure me is far above that of some chief researchers. Dr Patel is truly a Godsend!
She comes across very friendly & nice. I find her to be very knowlegable & she does know what she is talking about. It only takes about 15 to 25 minutes to be called back to the exam room. Very seldom do you have to wait long. Biggest complaint I have is she does not spend time answering your questions. She is always in a hurry to get in & out of the room. She doesn't sit down & that lets you know she has no intentions of spending any time with you so you better speak quickly! I always have questions for her but I'm never allowed enough time to get to them. (Very disappointing & upsetting for someone that is living with cancer.) She has forgotten to cover medications I am suppose to start on because she is in such a hurry so I go months without it. Her physical exams are ridiculous. Takes one minute if that, I'm not kidding. When your dealing with cancer I sure don't walk out of her office feeling very confident with 1 minute exams & unanswered questions. Always 5 to 7 minute appts.
Dr. Patel treated my father-in-law, husband and mother-in-law all for very advanced cancers. She and her staff are the best. Very caring and concerned. Always available to answers questions. Our whole family loves her and appreciates her and her staff for the wonderful care they gave our loved ones. She is very informed about test groups and will do her best to get her patients into them.
She is a very caring and thourgh and warm...makes you feel special...most of all she listens to what you have to say...I trust her with my life...except Dr Stanley Rubin in La Mirada CA...they both the best in world and think alot of each other...can't find any better anywhere...

For over two decades now, my official second-favorite film of all time has been The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985). An image from the film's final scene is embedded in the banner at the top of every post on this blog. Thirteen months ago, I selected this film for a screening and discussion group at a film festival in Texas. Six weeks ago, on Boxing Day, I even got to see the film on the big screen for the first time ever — a 35mm print, even! — as part of the VanCity Theatre's year-long Woody Allen series.
So I'm something of a fan — not just of this particular film, but of Woody Allen's films in general, at least for the first two decades or so of his directing career. In truth, the last film directed by Woody that I really enjoyed was Bullets over Broadway (1994), and the last film to star him (or at least his voice) that I really enjoyed was the DreamWorks comedy Antz (1998). Since then, it has seemed to me that most of his films recycle themes that he did a better, more interesting job of exploring in his earlier films; and it has sometimes seemed to me that the moral urgency he brought to films like Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) has given way to a more cynical complacency in similarly-themed films like Match Point (2005).

In response to
Received from Dan Flores, Senior Communications Officer, San Diego County Employees Retirement Association:
Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune
The California Watch article paints an incomplete picture of how pension board trustees receive education and leads the readers to believe trustees are simply making a trip to Hawaii.
Here are the facts:
In December 2012, SDCERA approved in a public meeting three board members to attend the annual NCPERS conference in Hawaii. To date, accommodations, conference registration, and transportation have not been booked and the trustees' schedules are not set yet. Prior to the article, we informed California Watch that we anticipated them to stay five days, but have budgeted for six. The article used the six day budget amount of $7,950 ($2,650 for each board member). If the three board members stayed 5 days each, as anticipated, the cost would be $1,200 less totaling $6,750. It's also important to reiterate, SDCERA didn't pick the location of the conference.
The article doesn't present an actual correlation between the costs of educating a board to administer a pension and comparing it to an unfunded liability, which was primarily generated from an economic downturn. In fact, continued and reasonable education is a small investment when compared to the increased value it provides to the $9 billion fund and our members.
The article named specific conference sessions to make a biased point. They didn't discuss the value of hearing national and regional experts on pension topics or the value of collaborating on these issues with peers. Notable serious and important session topics are on the agenda as well, but the writer didn't mention them:
- "The Role and Interaction between a Fund's CIO and Investment Consultant"
- "Pension Actuarial Science"
- "Changing GASB rules"
- "Disaster Planning for Pension Plans"
Educating SDCERA's Board and staff adds value to administering the fund for our members. Pension administrators have a responsibility in their role to be educated about the pension's administration which includes fiduciary, legal and ethical decisions. Pension board members can receive their education in various ways.
In addition to attending national and regional educational conferences and workshops, board members also regularly receive education during SDCERA board meetings, such as the one on February 21, 2013, where SDCERA's board received education about risk budgeting, risk parity and asset allocations, and trend based investment strategies. You can watch it here.
Like any other business, SDCERA needs skilled and educated board members and staff to administer the fund for the members and work with expert consultants.
Much like any other business professional, such as a CPA or an attorney, board members need routine education to stay up-to-date on relevant topics in their profession. All types of organizations use industry conferences, hold in-house seminars and use webinars to educate their staff and officials. Pensions are no different and this becomes more important when considering the size and complexity of the fund. SDCERA supports a reasonable amount of education for our board members.

Good evening, community!
I've already implied my suggestions for the next version of this awesome script to purehate via PM and received a positive feedback from him telling me that he plans to rework the script as soon as he finds the time and passion to do so. I'd like to put my suggestions for open discussion and refresh this thread due to the fact that I'm so amazed how smooth his script does what it should. Should be the GOLD-STANDARD for BackTrack! Maybe some of you even have some cool ideas how the script could be further enhanced?
Here are mine (feel free to add your suggestions and constructive criticism):
1. A function checking the final wordlist for cleanness would rock. I'm aware of the fact that there's already a function to delete lines matching a specific pattern. But as for merging lists I've collected I'd love to be able to automatically make sure that really NO CRAP is in the final list which might be eating up disk space and cannot be used for WPA/WPA2 pentesting.
2. It occured to me multiple times that I executed the script from a thumbdrive. After about half an hour of processing, the script only spit out the error message that no space was left on the device. The script continued - and the only outcome was a an empty file. Should be clear as the sky to have enough space on the drive beforehand, but I'd consider such a check as a neat addition as well. Say, that upon executing the script, some quick check of the HDD occurs and if the probable size exceeds HDD space, a waring shows up.
3. The command in section "Cleaning up the mess..." should be changed to the following code:
How come? Obviously it takes waay too long to clean up the leftovers with "rm -rf". Although I really don't know how that occurs and what benefits the -rf option should bring, I'm sure other will appreciate the simplification enjoy their wordlist much sooner.Code:rm -r working*.txt
4. In my own slightly modified version, words of the final wordlist are counted right after finishing the whole optimization process.
Something as simple as this shouldn't be a problem to integrate at all:
Now it's your turn to contribute. Shake it!Code:echo -e "\n$passout should be located in the current directory." echo echo "Hold on, I'm counting the words in $passout..." wc -l $passout echo echo "Returning to main menu ......" sleep 2 echo }

Hello Rosi
I was hoping you had some thoughts on this.
A while back I jarred my knee and made it painful to bend etc. I tried to train through it
which in hindsight was probably the wrong decision and ended up going to see physio
about it and what he did seemed to work.
The thing is because I'm on my feet all day at work my right leg starting compensating
and still thinks it has to, eg - when doing squats (with or without weights) I'm leaning off to the right.
Any thoughts on how this can be remedied?

'Sure, he's young. But this is a team that puts young guys in big roles and allows them to evolve in the playoff crucible. It happened with Derek Roy and Jason Pominville last year.

A 21-year-old Burbank woman was arrested Wednesday in connection with the death of her 5-week-old daughter.
Elizabeth Carter is being held on $130,000 bail on charges of child abuse, which resulted in her baby dying at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Burbank police said.
Police said Carter and the baby's biological father, Matthew Wojcik, 19, brought their daughter to Children's Hospital Los Angeles in October. Hospital officials then called police telling them they were treating a five-week-old girl for multiple broken bones.
The baby also was being treated for brain swelling.
"It appeared the broken bones were a result of possible child abuse," according to a police statement.
The baby was taken off life support three weeks later, and succumbed to her injuries.
Police arrested Carter Wednesday morning and charged her with child abuse. She is expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
Wojcik, 19, who already had been arrested on suspicion of child abuse, was additionally charged with child abuse causing death. He is being held on $1 million bail.

is it okay if i put a body cologne to my baby?
isn't harmful?
18th February 2014 06:20 AM #2
Dear gelizaire,
You are right - it is best to avoid putting any cologne on your baby's skin. Babies have very sensitive skin and are more likely to suffer from an allergic reaction than an adult. Putting any form of perfumed toiletry product on your baby's skin also unfortunately makes it more likely that they will suffer from eczema.
Another worry with this form of product is the long term harm the chemicals could cause to our children. Have a look at this information on the campaign for safe cosmetics website.
Best wishes,

The 2012 Presidential Election, in some ways, was like every other election that came before it. There were last-minute political ads, experts making wide-ranging predictions, and a nation watching anxiously to find out who would be its leader for the next four years.
But after the normal pontificating, celebrating, and hand-wringing a completely new narrative started to emerge: the president was reelected, in part, because of a superior technology team, a dream team of Silicon Valley and startup veterans. A team led by CTO Harper Reed.
The high-pressure role was quite the change for Reed. In 2009 he was selling t-shirts as CTO of Threadless, an indie t-shirt e-commerce retailor. By late 2012, he had a played significant role in reelecting the President of the United States.
We spoke with Reed about going from the startup world to politics and what it was like to manage a massive enterprise like a presidential campaign.
The pace of the campaign was probably a little bit of a shock at first when compared to your time at Threadless. How did you adjust?
There was a point when I was like, "What's this feeling? What is happening?" And my wife is like "You're stressed out, chill out man, it'll be fine." And I was like, "I don't understand." Because at my last job [at Threadless], I built t-shirts. You are not stressed with t-shirts. I just had to change how I acted a little bit. I started looking for diversions where the diversion wouldn't be affected if I stopped doing it, like playing Minecraft with my brother. So if suddenly there was an emergency or if I was very busy, I didn't feel like I was like messing up something by quitting or not participating.
So when the campaign was over, I imagine it went from running 24 hours a day to zero. What was that adjustment like?
I realized that I was really addicted to information. It sounds silly to say, but I was addicted to the importance of the role. I worked with this great team to do the most important thing that I have ever done. So suddenly taking that away was like, "Hey, wait a minute, I'm still here, I still want to do this."
I had days when I would pull my phone 50 times in one minute and there wouldn't be any email. Then I realized: I'm not that important when I'm not the CTO. I'm just a normal kind of guy. I decided to spend the week without Internet as kind of a cleansing thing. I realized that people aren't worried that I'm gone from the Internet. When I was gone, I got like four emails I needed to reply to, and then a whole bunch of shit that I didn't read. That was really a positive experience.
Plus, breaks that like can act as way to help your mind accept you're doing something new now. A little bit of before and after.
We are weird ego people. I don't like to admit that but I think technology is a lot about ego. I think startups are a lot about ego. You see this a lot when people don't know how to delegate. I had the same problem [with not delegating] in the beginning of the campaign, but then you realize that you are not as important as maybe you thought you were.
It sounds like you did not fully realize what you needed in your work life and personal life until you were under pressure.
Totally. From a self-discovery point of view, this was an amazing experience. Though, there is a point at which I was really, really stressed and I really didn't know how to deal with it.
Why do you think you were so stressed?
Probably because we all think we are super-people. A friend of mine owns a restaurant in New York and she was talking about how her growth as a chef had 100 percent to do with delegation. She has two or three restaurants now because she finally learned on how to delegate in the kitchen. For me, delegation was not that big a deal. But I knew, if we fucked it up, we would not re-elect the president.
Describe the difference between working at a startup versus a presidential campaign.
There is a duality there: you want to make sure that you are aggressively able to get things done and able to be agile. But a campaign is so much like a huge IBM-sized company. I had never worked in an organization that big. The challenge for me as the CTO was to ask: "How do we have that healthy disregard for reality that startups often have so that they can be agile and innovative?" I do not think we failed at it, but I do not think it was done as well as it could have been done. It's incredibly hard. Think of all the corporations that want to be as fast as a startup, but can't be.
In what ways did you manage the frantic pace of the campaign in both your personal life and with your work?
For sure, this was not your ideal work environment. We worked 18-hour days for a number of months with no break and that isn't normal. From a professional standpoint, we had really good team dynamic that relied quite a bit on the "retrospective" meeting at the end of a project that allowed us to stop and say: "What was it like to launch? What did we do right? What did we do wrong?"
Since we were practicing kind of a startup ethos of iterative development, we could usually see immediately what went wrong and what was right, and it was incredibly valuable. Just being aware of how things are going, and talking about it quickly, I think is incredibly important.
Is that because a retrospective keeps everyone on the same page?
It's not just that. People forget to acknowledge, that especially in technology, work kind of hurts. People have feelings and it is important to talk about those feelings and address them. If you're in a room and you say, "Okay, we launched today. How do you feel about that?" Then your team says, "I did not like it when this happened. I struggled with it and I was little bit unhappy that we put down this task, but I was super excited about this." We just had a conversation, a real conversation, about real feelings.
And if people feel neglected, especially when they are putting in 18-hour days, it's not going to work out.
It allowed us to be very aware of what is going on and not have to beat around the bush when someone felt we were doing the wrong thing, it allowed us to be direct and helped everyone handle stress. One time, [engineer] Mark Trammel actually stood up in a meeting and sung the Frank Sinatra song "My Way" to make a point. And everyone in the whole team started singing along. It was really funny.
How about you?
How do you deal with fast-paced work situations?

VeganMoFo: Tech Edition
Happy VeganMoFo 2012 Kick-Off, everyone!
We don't have a single theme (oh, by the way, did you notice our new theme?!), but we're gonna have theme days. In preparation/celebration of our Seattle Tech Seminar, we're diving in to blogging tech (mostly). We'll have tech tips brought to you by people way smarter than us, Seattle funspots, speaker spotlights, Food-Friday Fundays…and once a week, we'll have a Q&A day.
Q&A? Yes, so we need some Qs! Shoot us your questions and we'll dig around/ask around to get you the answers! Tweet at us, throw it up on the Facebook page, or email us at VidaVeganConference [at] gmail [dot] com.
But before we get started, we just wanted to give you a glimpse into our weekend! We're in Chicago for location scouting and VeganMania, Chicago's vegan-only veg fest, with vendors, nonprofits, a hefty food court (featuring Chicago Diner, Upton's, and Native Foods as well as a lot of smaller restaurants and bakeries), and classes. Check out the crowd shot:
We all went to Miyoko Schinner's Artisan Vegan Cheese demo, where we tried some of the quicker, unaged cheeses, including ricotta-stuffed shells and a next-to-instant but tasty nacho cheese. I've never seen so many people get super excited to try vegan cheesemaking before. It looks like this book is actually worth the hype. I know what I'm doing when I get back home to Portland.

Ohio winters can run the gamut from unseasonably warm and rainy, to dangerously cold with heavy snowfalls, and everything in between. Given this uncertainty, it can be hard to prepare for an Ohio winter, but that doesn't mean you can't take a few steps now to plan for whatever Old Man Winter has in store for us this year. A good plan starts with making sure that your home - and you - are winterized.Winterize your home
Finally, know your limitations and say active. As we age, our bodies become less able to handle temperature extremes and we become more susceptible to cold-weather illnesses and injuries such as frostbite and hypothermia. Maintaining physical activity levels similar to warm weather is essential to keeping your body fit and preventing illness or injury. You just may have to be creative in how you do it. Clean house more often, adopt a new exercise routine you can do at home, or find indoor places like stores and malls where you can walk, perhaps with friends. Know your limits when working or playing outside, and take regular breaks to warm up and stay hydrated.

Making cars is a bit more experimental than someone might first think, since focus groups and marketing speculation only brings theoretical success that does not always translate to higher sales.
But each new feature or design provides knowledge on which to create the next grand design. Such is the case with American Motors Corp.'s AMX, for American Motors eXperimental. Concepts became designs in 1965, with the first full concept car rolling off the line the following year. Packaged as a "sporty" and "youthful" car that set it apart from AMC's "economy car" image, the AMX offered the first high-performance, steel-bodied, two-seat car since the 1957 Thunderbird.
But the V8 still came in as a budget car since, at $3,245, it was more than $1,000 less than others in its model class, namely the Chevrolet Corvette. The car clocked 0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds, and the quarter mile in just 15.2 seconds, making it a head turner. The 1969 model was powered by a 280-horsepower engine, harnessed by a four-speed manual transmission.
But its production run was short lived. Only 19,134 of them were produced between 1968 and when the line was halted in 1970. It was a noted history even if it was short, however. Two specially-prepared AMX vehicles set 106 world speed records at a track in Texas.

AGTS News: Charlie Self authors new book, Flourishing Churches and Communities: A Pentecostal Primer on Faith, Work and Economics for Spirit-Empowered Discipleship
Dr. Charlie Self, director of the Ph.D. in Bible and Theology Program and associate professor of church history at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (AGTS), authored the newly released book Flourishing Churches and Communities: A Pentecostal Primer on Faith, Work, and Economics for Spirit-Empowered Discipleship, published by the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty.
This uniquely Pentecostal work challenges leaders in the church and the business community along with all followers of Christ to robust Christian living and mission in all domains of life. The book is particularly important as local churches are encouraged to discover what the Holy Spirit is doing in their region and be part of the spiritual, social and economic renewal of the land. The work incorporates Scripture, practical application and testimonies from all walks of life. Dr. Self brings more than 30 years of academic, pastoral and work experience to this effort.
In conjunction with this book release, AGTS and The Acton Institute will present "Flourishing Churches and Communities: Faith, Work and Economics in Spirit-Empowered Discipleship" beginning at Noon on
Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at AGTS (1435 N. Glenstone Ave., Springfield, Mo., 65802).
Self, Flourishing Churches from AGTS on Vimeo.
The public is invited to this free event that will unite Christians in faith and business communities together in strategic conversation.
The economic uncertainty, moral confusion and spiritual hunger of our day call for dialogue among thoughtful people across diverse domains. In the past two decades, there has been intense interest and significant progress in the integration of ethics and economics, business and mission, with clerical and lay leaders finding new places of partnership.
Thoughtful Christian leaders realize that evangelization and church planting/revitalization require fresh strategies as we confront challenges of cultural diversity, religious competition and skepticism and unprecedented social needs. The good news is that biblical faith and the empowerment of the Spirit provide the resources for local churches and communities to flourish as expressions of the kingdom of God. In order to realize this vision, church leaders, along with business, educational, social service and cultural leaders need to engage in serious conversations about issues so important to all of us as followers of Jesus.
The Assemblies of God Theological Seminary is dedicated to educating servant-leaders who are led by the Spirit for today's Church.
The Acton Institute is dedicated to the integration of Judeo-Christian truths with free market principles and supports efforts of Christians from all traditions that enable the advancement of the Mission of God and human flourishing.
Dr. Self will host this event. In addition to his roles at AGTS, he is also a senior advisor for the Acton Institute, tasked with mobilizing leaders to deep thought and decisive action.
Schedule: (These sessions will be recorded and video posted to the AGTS website after the event.)
Noon–1:30 p.m.: Keynote Addresses
2–3:30 p.m.: Panel Discussion, "Toward Integration of Faith, Work and Economics"
5:30–7:30 p.m.: Keynote Address

This time, McPherson achieves his haunting effects in different ways.
And that means that the pressure is on McPherson, known for expletive-laced outbursts and an inability to take criticism.
McPherson is a skillful writer and a discriminating historian.
Johnson is the only model," McPherson said, "but they are very different cats.
I began my conversation with McPherson by asking what inspired The Night Alive.
"You seem worried, Mr. McPherson," she said tenderly, as she put down the papers she had brought in for his signature.
"The nature of the whole affair is this," returned McPherson.
McPherson tried to speak, then turned and made blindly for the door.
"We are going to find out," said McPherson with sudden determination.
McPherson was to remain at the "office" and telephone them the results of the races in advance.

to buy Omthera
British drugmaker AstraZeneca PLC plans to spend about $260 million on Omthera Pharmaceuticals Inc., a small specialty drug developer with a potential treatment for patients who have high levels of fats called triglycerides in their blood. AstraZeneca said Tuesday it will pay $12.70 for each share of Omthera, which priced an initial public offering last month at $8 per share.
Chinese buying
more luxury goods
Pernod Ricard, owner of Absolut vodka, Martell cognac and Jameson whisky, says explosive sales growth in China is slowing but an expanding urban elite still makes the country one of the most promising markets. Makers of luxury goods from designer clothes to sparkling wine are looking to China as a key growth market.
Saudi oil
production up
Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil giant says production reached record level last year as global demand surged and international sanctions sharply trimmed output from rival Iran. Gulf Arab states have stepped up crude production to compensate for Iranian exports, which have dropped as major customers such as India and China face pressures from the West to trim their purchases from Tehran.
Airline workers
seek union vote
Mechanics and related workers for American Airlines filed for an election with the National Mediation Board as part of a months-long effort to become Teamsters. The petition comes on the heels of a similar move by US Airways mechanics seeking Teamster representation.
Kellogg settles
Mini-Wheats suit

Handing over the mic this morning to Sharpie Intern, Jacque Smith. A '09 grad, Jacque majored in PR at Illinois State University with minors in French and International Studies (pretty impressive, eh!?). With a love for new technology and all things social, "Jack-attack" has been helping the team stay on top of new trends and hot topics in the ever-changing social space.
Recently, Jacque had the chance to lead a Q&A with potentially one of our youngest and ever-so talented Sharpie Artists, Miriah Garnett…
Sharpie fanatics would agree: give someone a Sharpie and expect INKspiration! Read how Miriah Garnett created a stylish design on her sister's book bag (that got the sister seal of approval), her other Sharpie uses, and Miarah's advice to other young artists:
Tell me about yourself:
I'm Miriah Garnett, an International Baccalaureate student at North Hagerstown High School. I love to listen to music. It's a big part of my life. Along with music, I enjoy painting, decorating, doing my nails, scrap booking, reading, texting, and of course shopping. I am a big fan of R&B, hip-hop, pop, and old school music. I'm a fan of M&Ms, especially the new pretzel kind. I'm a huge Twilight fan. I have read all the books and I am anxiously awaiting the premier of the 4th movie, Breaking Dawn. Some things I don't like are: stinkbugs (they're really gross), country music and gory horror movies.
What year in school are you? Any favorite classes? Extra-curriculars?
I am in the Eleventh grade. My favorite class is Biology, because I really enjoy sciences and plan to go into the medical field when I'm older. I am involved in the art and scrap-booking clubs at my school.
What inspired you to design a book bag for your sister?
In Kindergarten, it has been a sort of tradition to decorate your tote bag for school, which is something I even did as a kid. So, my little sister Armani (being the girlie girl that she is) wanted a cute design for her book bag. To get some ideas, we went to our local fabric store to look for some pretty prints or designs for some inspiration. We found one that was pink with doodles. Using this design, I incorporated my own twist to it and went all out decorating the whole book bag in this manner.
Of all art supplies, why Sharpie? What made you choose to customize the backpack with Sharpie markers?
I chose Sharpie because, since my mom is an art teacher, we have always trusted Sharpies to have precise lines and long lasting effects. Sharpies have also always had bright and vibrant colors that I love.
Have you customized any other school supplies or accessories?
I use Sharpie markers to label school supplies and clothes, make card designs, when organizing, to color Shrinky Dinks, to sign t-shirts, and to draw temporary tattoos.
What goes into designing a backpack? How long does it take?
Designing a book bag is actually a very simple, easy, and creative way to design something by adding your own unique touch. In order to design one all you need to know is what you want to create on your book bag and what Sharpie colors you would like to use. Depending on how intricate the design is will determine how long it will take to finish the book bag. The designs could range from flower patterns, to a drawing of your favorite sports team's logo. The possibilities are limitless.
How did your sister react to your Sharpie masterpiece?My sister absolutely ♥loved♥ the book bag. It was cute and girlie and was everything she was hoping for. It was definitely something we would not have found in the store.
Top 5 essential items that are always in your book bag:
- Books (I've never gone home from school without books—ever!)
- My huge, graphing display calculator
- Different colored pens and pencils, including my Sharpie markers
- Portable hole punch
- USB flash drive
Aside from customizing some really cool backpacks, what else do you enjoying doing on your down time?
As I said before , I love listening to music. I am also a big fan of shopping for shoes. Even just shopping in general "floats my boat." I also love to design and paint my own nails. It's something I have started doing for a year or two and really enjoy. It's a different way of expressing yourself.
One last question… are you a fan of Glee or High School Musical? What character do you relate to the most & of all the cast members, who would you most want to design a backpack for?!
I'm a fan of High School Musical! My obsession phase is very much over, but I can still sing any song by heart . I would have to say that of all the characters, I relate to Gabriella Montez the most because of having to transfer to a new school and meet different people. I can also relate to her "nerdy" side because of being part of the IB program. If I could design a backpack for someone, it would have to Sharpay Evans because of her bold and unique style—it is a style within itself.

I've been planning a trip through Maine & Nova Scotia for over a year. First it was going to be last September, but ended up in Costa Rica:D.

...so it's looking like next spring: just in time for the Swellinfo forecast, eh? ;)
I lived in southern Maine for a bit, on your way up get on RT. 1 in York and go north untill Portland, there are lots of good breaks along the way. Along the way there is a shop named Wheels & Waves they are good for local info. Good luck.
i just got back from nova scotia i went up near cow bay surfed for 3 days it was real good aroudn 6-8 feet.
i third the forecast idea thatd be sick

December 4, 2012 - There's a name in this town that makes Long Beach residents, business owners and elected officials react. Like him or not, John Morris has made a dent in this community, starting with the opening of Legends Sports Bar in 1979.
After nearly a decade running a successful operation at Legends in Belmont Shore, Morris opened Mums Restaurant at 144 Pine Ave. in 1988. He served as president of the Downtown Long Beach Associates for several years, working on a revival of the main artery of downtown. In the 1990s, Morris was recognized as one of the most influential businessmen in Long Beach.
He eventually closed Mums and reopened the restaurant as Smooth's Sports Grille, bringing the sports bar concept to Pine Avenue. He closed Smooth's in 2010 and in February 2011 joined McKenna's on the Bay at Alamitos Bay Landing as its manager.
He has since become general manager and a partner in McKenna's, and this year he got re-involved with Legends Sports Bar. Morris sat down with the Business Journal to discuss his entrepreneurial ventures in Long Beach, the bumps in the road along his journey and what it's like to have his business career come full circle.
LBBJ: Some have said you pioneered a revival of Pine Avenue by opening Mum's in the late 1980s. You spent 30 years working on Pine Avenue before closing down Smooth's in 2010 and leaving downtown. Do you think Pine Avenue needs a revival and, if so, what do you think would bring a revival to the street?
Morris: I think at the end of the day the revival for Pine Avenue and all of downtown will be the future development of high-density residential. That's the only real thing that's going to make it all work. And I mean all, not just The Pike or Pine or the East Village.
LBBJ: Have you visited downtown lately?
Morris: No.
LBBJ: Have you been to The Promenade?
Morris: Yes.
LBBJ: What do you think about The Promenade and its impact on downtown?
Morris: I think that The Promenade is a project that should really have waited. They should have strengthened the base of Pine Avenue. That was the recommendation for many years by every consultant that came in. They said, "Don't do The Promenade until you solidify and strengthen Pine Avenue." But they did it anyway.
LBBJ: In your 30-plus years of doing business in this city, what would you say has been your biggest disappointment?
Morris: Dealing with the 333.
LBBJ: The 333?
Morris: Ocean Boulevard. Dealing with 333 W. Ocean Blvd. [city hall]. Half a devil.
LBBJ: How would you describe your relationship with the City of Long Beach and its elected leaders?
Morris: Its elected leaders I've fared pretty well with. I think that the staff at city hall over the years is very vindictive. I used to take it personally, but they're very vindictive to everybody unless you're on the inside.
LBBJ: So you don't take it personally anymore?
Morris: Not anymore. Being on this side of town now, I see that they treat everybody that way. It does elevate when my name is involved, but they're very vindictive to everybody, the vast majority of people.
LBBJ: You're now a manager with McKenna's, is that right?
Morris: I've become a partner and I'm the general manager of McKenna's.
LBBJ: What sort of activities and promotions have you been working on with the restaurant?
Morris: The biggest thing I noticed when I arrived here was that there was no connection between the waterfront and the restaurant. It's hard to believe, but it's very true. What I've been working on is activating the waterfront and tying all of these different events into McKenna's. We're using a duffy boat service to pick up people in Naples and the peninsula and bringing them in for dinner by boat. We have dragon boat racing from the dock at McKenna's. We have concerts in our parking lot. In the past 18 months we've had about 10 concerts. It's more about bringing awareness to Alamitos Bay Landing. It's a very underutilized center, and yet it's a gem. I used to hang out here in the 1970s.
LBBJ: Your first business in Long Beach was Legends Sports Bar, and now you're involved with the restaurant once again. How does it feel to come full circle, and what are you doing differently with Legends now that you didn't do when you were there in the '80s?
Morris: It was exciting for me to get back involved as a partner with Legends. It's nice to just be the smiling face of the establishment and let Eric [Johnson], Matt and Dave, the other partners, do the day-to-day operations. I'm just that wonderful face of the place. That's what I like to tell everybody because that's what I really am. I don't have to do anything. I like it.
LBBJ: A little birdy told us that you had an interest or were planning on getting involved with Kelly's in Naples. Is that true?
Morris: We've been negotiating with the principal of Kelly's and it's moving along. I cross my fingers that we pull it off and bring it back to the days of yore, the way it used to be. I hate to even talk about it. I don't want to jinx it.
LBBJ: Is there anything else you would like to add?
Morris: Life is good. I can look outside and look at the seals coming up on the waterfront. I say to myself some days, "Alamitos Bay. Pine Avenue. Hmmm." It's very enjoyable being back on this side of town. I've realized that a lot of my anxiety over the years is due to the fact that when you have to deal with the 333, life isn't good. They can't relate to people in business. They don't have a clue.
LBBJ: It's been 30-plus years of doing business in the city and you still feel it's that way?
Morris: I've felt it, seen it and hear it. Nothing changes. It's unfortunate. In a lot of ways, to me, it's us against them.
LBBJ: How does a city thrive in that kind of environment?
Morris: I think of the famous words of [former city manager] Jim Hankla. Many years ago, I was having my feuds with him in the '80s in downtown. I will never forget the statement he made to me. At that time, he was just referring to downtown. He said, "Downtown will succeed despite city hall." I will never forget that comment because it's true. It's a slower pace to get to that success because of city hall. But because of people like myself and people who get into business and are entrepreneurs, those are the kind of people who put the blinders on and just keep going. Yeah, we're getting punched and sucker punched and backstabbed. But we just keep going. It's just the way it is.
I love Long Beach. The people of Long Beach are phenomenal. I love this city. I love the diversity. I love everything about Long Beach. I just don't like the 333. They're not nice to the City of Long Beach.
LBBJ: We understand that you got involved or were thinking about getting involved in the medical marijuana industry in 2008 or around then, realizing that the city wanted to put together an ordinance to allow for medical marijuana dispensaries.
Morris: Yes.
LBBJ: You had some other ideas in terms of how the marijuana dispensaries would be structured and managed, particularly in how they would give back to the community rather than the method that the city followed. Now that it's all turned around – the city went through the process of accepting applications, had the lottery, allowed dispensaries and then banned them – what do you think is next?
Morris: I think at the end of the day it's going to be just like Colorado. We will get there, and I think it needs to get there. The benefits far outweigh the negatives. I understand where the police department is coming from because there is a lot of that out there – the gangs, the mob, the cartels, whatever. But if you run them correctly and you do it for the right reasons, I think it's a beautiful thing. I even gave some to my mum. She had dementia. In the last two years I've been giving her [marijuana] and it makes life so much better for her. I have a couple of other instances of family friends that use it for medical reasons. What it can do is unbelievable. But until you can get the police department just focusing on the gang bangers and letting the medicinal side of things take care of itself, it's not going to happen in Long Beach. There are too many people at the top who are totally opposed to it 100 percent. The template that we tried to set was the template similar to Colorado.
LBBJ: Oakland has an interesting model as well.
Morris: That's where we got a lot of our ideas from in terms of what they were doing and how they were doing it. We brought in names in the community, [people] we thought would legitimize the project, to keep everybody at ease about who is involved and who is not involved. But, typically, they just can't get out of their own way. One week it's in, the next week it's out. When I came to McKenna's in February 2011, that's when I washed my hands. I'm not involved with that at all. This is a better chapter. This is fun. I'm enjoying this new chapter. This is really, in Long Beach, where my life began.
LBBJ: Let's go back to that. Tell us about when you used to hang out here in the 1970s.
Morris: I take people out on Duffy boats and tell them stories like, "Well, in 1973, my first apartment in California was here on the bay. I paid $175 a month. I used to think, 'How am I going to pay for this?'" I point it out, the apartment. It's right there on Bayshore and Ocean. I was on the second floor, looking at the beach. It was my first day in California and I'm going, "I've died and gone to heaven. Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to this." Then I bought a house right on the ocean side with Dennis Harrah. He played with the Rams. We bought that house and leveraged that house to build Legends.
In 1973, McKenna's used to be Hungry Jose's in an old building very similar to the structures of Buster's and Khoury's. Khoury's was the Windrose. Buster's was Jolly Roger. McKenna's was Hungry Jose's. In the '70s, everybody came to these three places. This was the place in Long Beach. Happy hours were beyond belief. Buffet spreads. That's how they did it back then. Then in about 1976, McKenna's Creek opened where the Tilted Kilt location is at The Marketplace. The Claim Jumper was Bobby McGee's. The [Alamitos Bay Landing restaurants] action moved over there.
One night, standing at the bar at McKenna's Creek in late 1978 – went there for Monday Night Football – we get there and it's five minutes after 6 p.m. The game has already started. I say to the bartender, "Where's the damn TV?" The guy goes to a closet, grabs a TV, brings it out, sets up the rabbit ears and tunes it in. That's the night I said, "How come nobody's ever built a place where you could actually go watch a game?" So, I opened Legends in 1979 and in 1982 we had McKenna's Creek's Christmas party at Legends. I met my wife. Twenty-nine years later we're still together. Then we go downtown and do Mum's, then you come back around and I'm now part owner of McKenna's. I bought Legends back. This is a nice chapter. If we can pull the Kelly's deal off, it would be kind of nice to have the three icons of Long Beach in the restaurant industry together. It has a nice feel to it.
For me, it's been fun. All I get over here, in all honesty, are accolades galore. People can't say enough nice things about all of the things I do. I'm not doing anything different than I did downtown, and yet downtown they think I'm an ass*#@*. But in the 90803, I'm, like, a star.

George W. Bush said he wanted to change the tone in Washington.
What is more impressive is the narration: the calm, settled, often witty, always perceptive, tone of voice.
And then one day," Furry went on, his tone altering slightly, "she upped and quit me, said I had married her for her money.
The tone veered wildly between camp, melodrama, realism, and messy amalgamations of the three.
The tone lurches drunkenly from realistic to farcical to spoof.
So much falsehood does it cost to obtain two apparent truths of tone.
"We may have plenty of it yet," replied the lieutenant, with a suspicion of uneasiness in his tone.
Her tone was quite serious, but there was an odd expression in her eye.
There was that in Henry's tone which opened up the old-time anger.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings is officially out for tonight's game versus the Chicago Bears. A sore groin has hampered him throughout the short week. He was unable to practice with the team on Tuesday or Wednesday and was listed as doubtful on the injury report.
Fantasy Analysis:
James Jones moves in to the starting lineup. He's a fine play if you need a WR3. Of course, you are starting Jordy Nelson and Jermichael Finley . The really intriguing player here is Randall Cobb . Maybe we're getting a little carried away after one game, but it looks like the Packers will give him every opportunity to be a breakout player this season. NFL Network's Alex Flanagan is reporting that Packers head coach Mike McCarthy will attempt to get the ball to Cobb "as much as he can" tonight. The upside here is incredible, and I love Cobb as a high-end WR3. I told someone earlier today to start him over the Broncos' Eric Decker. We'll see how that turns out, but I love how the Packers utilize Cobb all over the field.
