PAY THE PIPERS - AND THE REST OF THE BAND: The Long Beach Municipal Band, just about the oldest glorious institution extant in its hometown, has been playing for free for more than a century. In the always elegant words of our old pal Jesse James (who apparently gave us up in the divorce; we haven't heard from him since The Troubles): Pay up, sucker.
Seriously. This city is loaded with fans of the band. On late afternoons in the summer you can see them, platoons of partyers and music-lovers trekking to the park - El Dorado, Marine Stadium, Los Cerritos, Bixby - with hampers of food and the odd illicit alcoholic beverage (served in red plastic cups, the higher-class version of a brown paper bag), along with lawn chairs and blankets, dogs and children.
For more than 100 years the Long Beach Municipal Band has been playing real good for free. No one's been hit up for cash. The band doesn't pass a hat around at its performances. Its fans have slept like babies, cozy in the thought that they are, in fact, paying the band with their tax dollars.
Well, yeah, maybe a tiny bit. There have been whispers about the city (and the state and the nation) going through some rugged budgetary misfortunes of late. Teachers, firemen, street sweepers are being laid off in huge numbers. At crunch time a trombone player doesn't look as necessary to the survival of a town as a beat cop does.
So, to wrap up our little tirade, it doesn't seem unreasonable to imagine the MuniBand, even in its tragically abbreviated form and schedule, will march on too much further into the future without some sort of extra financial help.
You can provide that and enjoy the sounds of your favorite band in a celebration of its 103 years in the music biz and to raise funds for its 2012 summer concert season.
The event is A Grand Sousa Gala, being held at 6 p.m. Friday at the Grand Ballroom of the Long Beach Convention Center, 200 South Pine Ave.
The evening will feature a concert by the Larry Curtis-led Municipal Band, featuring soprano Renee Sousa, a great-grandniece of the March King himself. Fans can dance, too, to the Studio Jazz Band with vocalists Barbara Morrison and Nicole Kubis.
And more! There will be an international buffet, casino-style gaming and a silent auction.
Your cost is a mere $100, or $175 per couple. If you want to save more (though saving money isn't really the point), grab a table for 10 for $825.
To make a reservation/donation, call 562-252-5626.
WE PUT A SPELL ON YOU: Although we have been clinically diagnosed as being scared to death of public speaking, we found on Sunday that baby steps may be the path to the cure.
That is, we found ourself OK with publicly uttering just one word at a time, with 30-second-or-so breaks between each word.
We were "guest pronouncer" Sunday at the seventh annual National Adult Spelling Bee at Bay Shore Church in Belmont Shore.
The event, organized (we hardly need to say) by Justin Rudd, attracted more than 30 spellists from all over the state and beyond who competed in the two-hour spell-off.
The opening round, for which we tossed out the words without passing out or just bolting in a stablefire manner, was pretty much a softball frame, with the most difficult word, apparently, being "toddy," which was misspelled by one bee participant who just wasn't on his game that day. (Mnemonic device: "Toddy" is like "Tim." There's only one T in it.)
Your winner, bagging the winner-take-all prize of $1,000, was Michael Petrina, of Arlington, Virginia, who correctly spelled "dossier" and "flageolet."
Second place was Patricia Knatz, of Studio City, who missed "limen" in Round 16. And third place was a tie between Janice Davis, of Garden Grove, and Lindsay Harrison, of Chico.
PHREE PHISH: Attendees of the Aug.15 Phish concert at the Long Beach Arena will get more for their money than just the live performance. They'll get a recording of the show as well.
Concertgoers will get a password entitling them to download, at www.LivePhish.com, a fully mixed soundboard release of the show just hours after the band finally stops playing.
Tickets for the show, at $60 for all seats, go on sale at noon Friday at Ticketmaster and at the Arena box office.

Seperation Anxiety in Toddler
My daughter seems to be experiencing a major case of separation anxiety, or something similar, and I have no idea what to do about it. She is about to be 15 months old, breastfeeding, co-sleeping and generally a happy baby. However, she cries profusely if I leave her with anyone, even my husband, even to go to to the bathroom. She also cries when strangers say "hi" to her when we are out and about. She does not want anyone but me to hold her and generally will not let anyone but me console her when she is upset.
My husband and I are both home a lot, he is a student and we both work from home. She has always been very attached to me, hence the breastfeeding, but suddenly she is only interested in me. She is breastfeeding as frequently as she did during early infancy and she wants to be held near-constantly.
My other children were not nearly this clingy and they were all very fond of my husband, their grandmother and other caregivers. I love that my baby loves me so much, do not get me wrong, but her father is hurt by her lack of interest in him and I do need a little break every now and again. I cannot even take a shower as it is right now.

Hi mom2many,
With separation anxiety it can be useful to remember it is often short lived. Is your little girl teething or unwell at all as this can also increase the anxiety?
I have experienced something very similar with my toddler recently - although he now seems to be out the other side of it and happy to spend time with lots of other adults. When this was happening with my son I had to have him in the bathroom with me when I showered - as he cried if he was with anyone else. However, he would sit in his car seat in the bathroom and look at a book (or even a dvd!) - it allowed me that precious time to get ready and feel human!
We tried to not let my little boy know that it was a bit upsetting to his dad that he didn't want to be left even with him. The good news is - he is totally fine with his dad now (sometimes I even get a bit jealous now! - but really I think it's great). We gradually increased the time he was with other adults for - starting with me just leaving the room for under a minute. He also had some special fun activities he did when he saw his grandparents (e.g. playing with the watering can in the garden) which seemed to make him enjoy spending time with a variety of people.
Something else we found useful - until a few months ago I was always the one who comforted my little boy if he was upset (often by breastfeeding him). However, my husband gradually helped to comfort him (I found this hard as I knew breastfeeding him would sometimes settle him quicker at first) and now my son is fine if he is upset when I am not with him.
Thinking of you. It will get easier!

Thank you LJ. I took her to the doctor this morning and found out she has an ear infection, so hopefully that was to blame for the sudden extra-clinginess. However, I do plan on implementing some of your advice because I think it would really help. Even though the ear infection may be to blame for the recent issues, she has always been extra, extra attached to me so maybe using some of these tips I can help to get her comfortable with others.
20th April 2012 02:29 AM #4
Ah sorry your daughter has an ear infection - as an Audiologist I know these can be very painful. If you try to get her to drink plenty of water then this will help open up the Eustachian tube (as she swallows) which will help to let more oxygen in to clear up the infection quicker. Alongside any medication your doctor recommended.
I hope you also get on well with helping your daughter to get used to spending more time with others.
Best wishes,

Mr CHESTER (Gippsland) (9.54 am) — I congratulate the member for Franklin, who has just spoken, for her contribution and endorse her comments. I rise to pay tribute to the outstanding men and women in Gippsland who have rallied together to establish Gippsland Rotary Centenary House. I recently attended the second birthday celebrations of this quite remarkable facility and the unveiling of a new pathway and new outdoor areas there. For the benefit of members who have not heard of Centenary House and the service it provides: Gippsland Rotary Centenary House provides a home away from home for patients and their families attending Latrobe Regional Hospital, primarily patients of the Gippsland Cancer Care Centre.
The facility contains six large en suite units and two smaller self-contained facilities, along with a communal kitchen, a dining room and lounge facilities, a children's play area and a quiet room for family consultation and privacy. But merely describing the bricks and mortar which make up the skeleton of Centenary House fails to do justice to the heart which beats within. This is a house that love, compassion and empathy have built in Gippsland. In addition to funding from state and federal governments and many philanthropic trusts, the community of Gippsland, led by its Rotarians, was successful in fundraising more than $600,000 for stage 1. I say 'stage 1' because you cannot stop the enthusiasm of volunteers such as Ken Peake and the manager, Carol Crewe. They are already working hard on stage 2, which will lead to the doubling of services for the people of Gippsland.
It is a sad fact that the demand from seriously ill patients requires the doubling in size of this type of facility, but I have already pledged my support to help the committee achieve that aim in the future. Gippsland Rotary Centenary House has been a complete success, and it is a credit to the vision and hard work of the volunteers, the board members and the businesses throughout the Gippsland region which have contributed to the project. Once the design is finalised and costings are prepared, I will be working with all levels of government and the community to secure funding for the next stage. All levels of government from both sides of politics supported the original development, and now it is time to start building those partnerships again for the next stage of the project. Centenary House is providing affordable and comfortable accommodation for Gippslanders when they are at their most vulnerable. No-one is ever turned away if they cannot afford the $15 a night price to stay. I have no doubt that the friendly and supportive environment which is provided in a safe and secure location is contributing to improved health outcomes for the guests.
There is a separate point that I would like to make. Although Centenary House is located between Traralgon and Morwell, the main beneficiaries of this project come from much further afield, with 82 per cent of the patients travelling from East Gippsland shire, Wellington shire and the South Gippsland areas. It says a lot about the community spirit of the people of Latrobe Valley businesses and the residents themselves that they are the major supporters of a project which helps their neighbouring communities across Gippsland. I pay tribute today to the volunteers and the generous donors who have helped bring this project to life and I wish them every success in their future endeavours.

Open Secret About Google's Surveillance Case No Longer Secret
By Jennifer Valentino-DeVries and Danny Yadron
The Justice Department recently won a court battle to keep an Internet company from talking about federal demands for user data, arguing that even disclosing the company's name would damage national security.
But then, after months of arguments, the department appears to have been foiled by its own redaction process, which left the name "Google" on one page that was posted Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The case and Google's role in it underscore a tension between some Silicon Valley companies and the government over national security surveillance and the secrecy surrounding it.
Google has been pushing back against data-gathering tools called national security letters in two federal courts since this spring.
Such letters, known as NSLs, allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation to demand account information and other data, but not the content of calls and emails. They typically come with a strict gag order, and companies cannot even acknowledge they receive them.
After a judge in California ruled the law was a violation of the First Amendment right to free speech in March, Google challenged several of the letters it had received and asked to be freed from the gag orders.
The decisions have consistently sided with the government and ordered Google to comply and keep quiet.
But after news broke that Google was part of a program called Prism, which allows the National Security Agency to collect data on Internet users from U.S. technology companies, the company asked one of the judges, in New York, to reconsider.
Google and other companies involved in the NSA programs have said the secrecy surrounding government data-gathering leaves them unable to tell their customers what they really do with the data and puts their business at a disadvantage.
"[Redacted] has a First Amendment right to communicate transparently with its users and the public regarding its receipt of the NSL," an attorney for the initially unnamed company wrote in a court filing, dated Aug. 16. "In light of broadly available misinformation about [redacted] receipt of and compliance with national security process and the concerns and questions of its users… [redacted] seeks to advance the public debate by taking reasonable, limited steps to increase transparency regarding its practices."
Many references to an unnamed company are redacted in the 10-page document. But a sentence before a large blocked-out section on page 8 says that, after the Guardian and Washington Post newspapers reported Prism's existence, "the public's already healthy interest in Google's receipt of, and response to, national security legal process skyrocketed."
The FBI didn't respond to requests for comment. The court didn't respond to a request for comment left on Sunday.
A Google spokesman declined to comment on if Google is indeed involved in the case, further highlighting how the government's gag order remains in effect.
The Google spokesman did however stand up for the unnamed technology company. "We fight for our users and have petitioned the U.S. government for more openness about their requests for user information, so we find the government's position in this case disappointing," the spokesman said.
The attorney listed on the filing, Todd Hinnen of Seattle firm Perkins Coie, represents Google in litigation, according to his online biography. Reached by phone Friday evening, Hinnen said he could "neither confirm nor deny" the veracity of the document. He declined to comment on his involvement with Google.
The company's legal push against the records requests has been previously reported, after a filing error in California resulted in the release of a one-page document that included Google's name and a reference to the law governing national security letters. But the government officially has never acknowledged Google's involvement.
In a June 5 letter to the court, the government argues that divulging the company's name "would alert current and potential adversaries and targets," possibly leading them to "change tactics and stop using the provider's services altogether."
The government also argues that, if the court were to allow the company to acknowledge receipt of the national security letters, it would set a bad precedent and lead to many other companies being allowed to discuss NSLs.
Google, for its part, says in its memo that discussion of NSLs should be part of "a debate the President has encouraged" since the disclosure of Prism and other programs revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
"Maintaining the redaction now serves only to protect a secret that everyone already knows," the company says in the document.

It is a reality. Sprint needs to look into this problem.
My friend here at work has an iphone 4s with sprint and his download speeds are 0.95mbps, terrible! I have regular iphone 4 with ATT and i was getting 5.36mbps download and 2mps upload. My friend is returning his phone and going to ATT even thou is a bit more.
Do Sprint users read their ToS? Sprint "claims" unlimited internet, but based on some people complaints I have read the past few months about "unlimited"... Sprint doesn't have unlimited data. They have restrictions and pre-throttle before you even turn your phone on.
Sprint in their ToS...
Has the right to pre-throttle or compress certain services right off the bat especially during peak times.
you have 300 minutes, or 300MB of data usage off-network(Domestic roaming). The other 3 give you unlimited on or off network. They reserve the right to throttle or terminate your service from that point forward for the month. Even if it says "Sprint" you may actually be domestically roaming and people may be throttled. This is why Sprint probably shrugs it off as the people complaining about the speeds are domestically roaming.
Have a friend that works for sprint call center for the iPhone and he stated calls are crazy with people reporting slow speeds on iPhone 4 and 4S
I get anywhere from below 100 to 250 or so on speed tests in town. In rural areas outside of town I can get over 1000 easy. Oh and I'm not even on an iPhone so it's not the iPhone's problem its the network not being able to handle the iPhones arrival.

To all the guys who know a thing or two about shaping or just boards in general:
im looking to replace my CI dumpster diver in the next few months or so and want to get some feedback on round tails (thumb or something similar) for my small to medium wave board. I ride my DD probably 75% of the time that i surf here in jersey, from thigh high up to chest/shoulder high. im looking to stay with a similar kind of shape and will probably end up ordering something custom from a local guy but was thinking about switching it up from a squash to a round tail. Why? i have a couple of other boards (shortboards) that have a round tail and im a big fan. anyway, im just trying to get a little feedback as to how a round tail would affect a board like this.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
In fact... here's a quick offseason plan for each team that has an obvious QB need. I think each of these moves makes sense without making a colossal reach in the draft.
1) Kansas City - Trade/sign Matt Flynn. He's a perfect fit for Andy Reid's West Coast Offense and the new Chiefs GM John Dorsey was pat of the Packers FO that drafted Flynn. He's a fairly low-upside player, but Andy Reid has shown that he can get by with a low-upside QB who plays within the system and doesn't make a ton of mistakes. They'll probably draft somebody in the mid to late rounds as a potential developmental QB.
2) Jacksonville - New GM David Caldwell says that he believes Blaine Gabbert still deserves a chance to prove himself. That doesn't sound like a team that wants to spend another top 10 pick on a QB. They'll either draft a mid round QB or sign somebody off the scrap heap to compete with Gabbert and Henne for the future. Matt Moore could be a good option.
3) Philadelphia Eagles - Draft EJ Manuel at the top of the 2nd, sign Dennis Dixon in FA, or some other similar move. Kelly will go out and get an athletic QB to run his read option--no need to spend an early pick on a passer when you're going to win by running and throwing off play action.
4) Cleveland Browns - Trade for Ryan Mallett with the Patriots. If he beats Brandon Weeden outright I'd expect to see them try to get rid of him, so he would become another option on the FA market.
5) Arizona Cardinals - Trade for Nick Foles (good fit for Arians' offense) OR sign David Garrard (great fit for Arians' offense) and draft Tyler Bray or another similar big-armed passer in the 2nd
6) Buffalo Bills - Draft Geno Smith. He's a bit of a reach at #8 overall but not terribly so, and he fits Doug Marrone's system perfectly. Buddy Nix has openly said he's going to draft a QB this year and I believe it. The Bills are actually a really talented team particularly on offense, they just don't have a QB. Their OL is good, RBs are fantastic, and they have a #1 WR in Stevie Johnson. They also have plenty of money to add free agents.
7) New York Jets - Sign Kevin Kolb to a cheap deal after he's released by Arizona. He's young, sure to be cheap, and knows Morninwheg's offense. He could conceivably beat out Sanchez straight up in 2013. They could also draft Matt Barkley or Tyler Wilson in round 2.
Alex Smith is also going to land somewhere on this list, not too sure where, but the whole point of this exercise is to point out that NFL teams aren't stupid. There are plenty of viable QB options out there without wasting a 1st rounder on a guy you expect to start right away.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I threw Mallett in for the Browns because I've read a lot of reports that Cleveland's new GM Michael Lombardi hates Brandon Weeden and he's not a very good fit for their offense. Lombardi also has been really high on Mallett, who is a guy I think could be a starter in the league. Mallett could also fit in Arizona BTW. Good fit for Arians' offense.
I just think there are so many good QB options out there next year that I don't see a lot of NFL teams panicking and blowing high 1st round picks on guys like Nassib, Wilson, and Barkley. I know it happened in 2011, but that was a different year and Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker, and Christian Ponder were all a hell of a lot better as prospects than Nassib, Wilson, and Barkley. WAY better.
Also... look at what actually happened as a result of that 2011 draft. Gabbert, Locker, and Ponder are all among the worst starting QBs in the league. Yet Andy Dalton and Colin Kaepernick were drafted in the 2nd, where they belong, and both of them are not only way better than Gabbert, Locker, and Ponder, but those 2 guys are so good partly because their teams drafted BPAs in the 1st (AJ Green and Aldon Smith).
The 2011 draft actually PROVES... that reaching for a QB instead of taking BPA hurts your team. And I don't think teams will bother going through that again, honestly.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I'm sure Dennis Dixon is also hoping for an opportunity from Kelly. It makes sense and is a low risk move for the Eagles. Dixon would be cheap, already knows Kelly's offense, and could compete right away.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
It now looks like my boy Kaseen Greene may have crept up into the first round on the draft boards, I was hoping he'd be there by the time we're picking in the 2nd, looks unlikely now.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
It could be bad, in that guys like Kevin Minter are being pushed even higher up the board.
However, it could be good in that guys like Minter are being leap-frogged by Greene, which would push them down to us.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I think he meant Minter being leap-frogged by Greene... which I don't see happening, frankly. I'm actually not super-nuts about Minter as a prospect, but I think he's more scheme versatile than Greene. He can play 4-3 Mike or 3-4 ILB and probably also 4-3 SAM. A lot of teams might see Greene as a 4-3 Will only or nickel LB only. I think Minter also shows very well on tape against top competition pretty consistently while Greene didn't really dominate any good teams at Rutgers.
At this point I would not be interested in a MLB at #31 or #32 unless the draft shakes out really weirdly. I think OL, FS, and even WR are all more likely picks than ILB. At this point I'm really feeling that the Ravens could strongly consider a WR like DeAndre Hopkins at that spot depending on who's there.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Why do people keep assuming Kelly NEEDS a running QB?
Everything I've heard about him says that he is more than capable of adapting his system to any type of QB (and other personnel).
He is going to keep Foles and Foles will likely be given every opportunity to be his starter.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Investigators try to determine what caused carbon monoxide leak in East Cleveland
(East Cleveland) East Cleveland fire crews evacuated an apartment building at 16000 Terrace Road Saturday afternoon, after reports of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The residents have now been permitted to return home.
There are reports that rescue crews found the body of 79-year-old Barbara Kelley in Apartment 108.
It's not known yet if her death is related to the carbon monoxide situation.
University Hospitals staff called the fire department after several patients came into the emergency room, suffering symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
A total of six patients were hospitalized. Two are said to be in critical condition.
Fire crews evacuated the building, then did a sweep of each floor to determine the cause of the carbon monoxide.

Since I went to bed before the big decision last night, my celebration, such that it is, consists of the glass of Macallan 12 I'm currently sipping. I say "such that it is," because though I did vote for the winning Presidential candidate and for the first time since 1992 cast a vote for president and didn't feel soiled by it, everything is still in the same mess it was yesterday, and being somewhat cynical (friends reading this will probably say "only somewhat?") I'm not sure how much one person, no matter how extraordinary, can really accomplish with the Presidency. It seems to me that presidents can much more easily do a lot of damage than cause a lot of improvement. However, just having a president who will avoid doing more damage will be an improvement. I'm trying to feel hopeful, but my political awareness began in the mid-1980s, and my experience of politics hasn't exactly fostered hopefulness. The thing I find most hopeful in some ways is what the fact that a black man named Barack Hussein Obama could win the Presidency says about America and how some things have undeniably changed for the better in the past forty years. As for the job itself, considering the mess he's inheriting, I can't help but think there's a bit of truth in this article.
For higher education, elections seem to bring a fresh resurgence of the criticism that college faculty are too "liberal." My university newspaper has published a list of Princeton professors who gave maximum contributions to presidential candidates. The only surprising thing is that there was actually a professor who gave the maximum to McCain. However, he also gave the maximum in both the primary and the general election to Obama, and in this article explained that he donated to McCain in the primary because he was the least disliked Republican candidate. Some students complained about how this shows how overwhelmingly "liberal" Princeton is. If the research reported in this article is right, at least no one can complain about being indoctrinated with liberal dogma, whatever that is. I know the students don't care what the librarians think, since librarians aren't teaching them, but the Republican students at Princeton and elsewhere might be surprised that there might be even fewer Republicans among librarians than among professors. If we're not careful, David Horowitz will be coming at us with an Academic Collection Development Bill of Rights, or something like that, arguing that for every scholarly book we buy written by a Democrat, we have to buy a book written by a Republican. Imagine how that would change the scope of library collections!
The Republican students who arrive on campus probably do feel alienated, as I'm sure do the Republican professors and librarians. The students, and indeed most critics, think it has something to to with liberal and conservative, but I'm not so sure. You might have noticed that I've been putting scare quotes around liberal. It's not because I don't think most professors and librarians are liberals of some sort. It's just that I'm not sure the issue is just about liberal or conservative politics, but has a lot to do with Democratic or Republican politics. Liberal and conservative are shifty terms and most people don't seem to use them in any consistent way. People seem to pick one they like for themselves, then use the other term to abuse whatever they don't like. The paucity of political discourse in America means we don't have many other choices.
One can argue that, for example, George W. Bush isn't a conservative at all, and that Obama is in many ways a conservative candidate, as former long-time National Review editor Jeffrey Hart recently argued. Conservatives schooled on Russell Kirk, Richard Weaver, or a number of other conservative intellectuals from an earlier generation would be horrified that a president started an aggressive war to promote democracy. People who admire the virtues of caution, tradition, and skepticism about grand rational plans one finds in Edmund Burke's work have little use for the current Republican Party, and for a lot of traditionalist conservatives, Burke's work formed the foundation of the conservative intellectual tradition. They would argue that the Republicans have become the radical party wanting to make the most drastic changes, sometimes against the will of the people.
There was a time when conservatives wanted to discover and develop an intellectual tradition, so they could rebel against John Stuart Mill's description of conservatives as the "stupid party." Conservatives were alienated, but they cared about ideas and culture. That's changed, though. In his article "The Decline of American Intellectual Conservatism," Claes Ryn argues that the conservative movement's disdain for philosophy and the arts and a pseudo-pragmatism that led to the decline of any intellectual content in conservatism.
But had it not been for the misguided pragmatism and the related problems of conservatism here described, the chronic weaknesses of human nature would not so easily have broken through the defenses of civilization. American conservatism would have been better prepared to resist intellectual shoddiness, corrupt imagination, and a false moral virtue. It would not have had to accept so much of the blame for damage inflicted upon America and the world by self-described conservatives. (Modern Age, Fall 2007, p549)
It might be conservatism, but it might just be the Republican Party, so long considered the conservative party that anyone who votes Republican is seen as a conservative and anyone who votes against it is seen as a liberal. As Jeffrey Hart, Christopher Buckley, and others have shown this year, though, that's just not the case. It's the Republican Party that has changed.
As David Brooks put it recently in the New York Times, "What had been a disdain for liberal intellectuals slipped into a disdain for the educated class as a whole." In Brooks' reading, it's the Republican Party and its class warfare that has gone out of its way to alienate whole groups of Americans, including many of the brightest and best educated among them. Students and some other critics complain about the "liberalism" of the American academy, but they usually cite the overwhelming majority of Democrats among professors as evidence of that. If they knew and cared, they'd probably throw in the librarians. However, the explanation of why academics tend to support Democrats or liberals could be that except for a brief flowering of conservative intellectuals from 1955-1975 (or so), so called conservatives have tended to find people who devote their lives to ideas and scholarship contemptible. And the Republican Party in the last twenty years or so has become absolutely hostile to academics and intellectuals of all stripes. People who spend their lives doing intellectual work are unlikely to vote for candidates who publicly malign and mock their social group. Thus, it could be not that academia is overwhelming "liberal" so much as that it's overwhelmingly populated with intelligent, educated people who resent the populism that considers them lesser Americans because of that intelligence and education. Maybe in the end, we all feel the same way. Regardless of how you might feel about some individual political issues, it's hard to vote for politicians who show nothing but disrepect for your way of life, whether you're Joe the Plumber or Jane the Professor.

Although they include many of the same ingredients, rolled fondant and poured fondant are not the same. Rolled fondant cannot be successfully melted down to use as a poured icing. Try a poured fondant recipe for covering cakes, cupcakes or cookies, but remember that it doesn't set up as hard as royal icing, so it can smudge.

PHOTO: Jada Pinkett Smith debuts new hair cut
Taking a paged from her daughter Willow's ever-changing, and envelope-pushing looks, Jada Pinkett Smith touched down at Los Angeles Airport on Monday Oct. 7 with a "buzz-worthy" new haircut. After sporting long waves (and occasionally natural curls) for years, the actress, 42, debuted a seriously punk-inspired 'do that takes a cue from Miley Cyrus, Cassie and other trendsetting women in the spotlight: Completely shaved on the sides with a short, hipster-style tresses at the top.
Jada first showed off the haircut in a photo posted to her Facebook page at the end of last month.
Will Smith's wife of 16 years completed the rocker look with skinny jeans, buckled boots, denim shirt, a flannel tied around her waist, a blazer, and sunglasses.

They're on their way - £6 special delivery, 95p for the mailbag = £36.95, cheers! Will be with you by 1pm, they tell me.
Silly story about these gloves, might have waffled about this before, but ah well... I bought them on a Friday afternoon after finishing work and popped back to the office to store them as I was off to the pub.
Outside the reception to my old work, a workmate was on his way out as I was on my way in - and obviously, we both put the gloves on and attacked each other. It was so stupid, right in front of reception. It had 'gross misconduct' stamped all over it.
I spent the whole weekend shitting it that I was going to get fired, but in the end they didn't say anything. I got away with murder in that place.
least when you hit your boss your hand would be snugly protected
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer

BIG BEAR LAKE - The manhunt for triple murder suspect Christopher Jordan Dorner caused mild to serious interruptions for businesses in this mountain resort town.
The heavy snowfall that fell before the weekend should have been a boon for a town where winter fortunes rise and fall with snow levels. One resort manager said the storm attracted enough visitors to fill all 100 rooms at the hotels where she works.
In other cases, however, business managers said customers decided to stay home rather than face the prospect of taking a weekend trip in the middle of the extensive manhunt for the former police officer.
Pizzeria owner Wendy Murray said she lost 20 percent to 30 percent of her regular business. The drop-off was at its most noticeable Friday, one day after investigators found a burning pickup truck believed to be Dorner's.
"We kept our business open because he's not coming in for pizza if he's in hiding," said Murray, who owns Saucy Mama's Pizzeria.
But business was slow, and Murray said friends in Big Bear Lake's hospitality industry had to deal with last-minute cancellations from vacationers who fretted that Dorner may attempt to hide in a mountain cabin.
Golden Bear Cottages, a company that lets out nearly 30 vacation rentals and also has a souvenir store downtown, is among the mountain enterprises that lost business, manager Chris Gonzales said.
At least four or five customers decided to stay down the hill, and the cancellations were made "especially by people with children," she said.
What's more, downtown Big Bear Lake was a poor place to do business on Friday.
"It was horrible. Friday was a no-sale day for most of the stores here," Gonzales said. "We usually close at 8, and we were closed and out of here by 5."
But on Sunday afternoon, Big Bear Lake's streets and sidewalks were fairly vibrant with shoppers and visitors wearing winter sports attire.
For Jaqueline De La Mancha, manager of Fireside Lodge, Deer Creek Resort and Wolf Creek Resort, the snowfall was sufficient to make up for any slowdown that could have otherwise been blamed on the manhunt.
"We did see a lot of cancellations," she said, "but because of the fresh new snow, we were able to fill all three lodges."
Venice Beach resident Alex Nice drove into Big Bear Lake on Saturday with his girlfriend for his birthday. The couple planned the trip a month ago and said that when they heard of the Dorner search there was no doubt that they'd still come enjoy some time in the snow.
"From what I understand, he's up here with a vendetta against the cops, so I don't think the public has much to worry about," Nice said. "And besides that, I think the truck was a diversion. He's not up here."

To make your own buttermilk, add 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to each cup of milk. Let sit for a few minutes and stir. The acidity of the juice or vinegar will sour the milk, causing it to curdle slightly. You'll use the same amount of curdled milk in your recipes as you would buttermilk.

I use the Wireless Assistant to connect with my RTL8187L.
I bought an Alfa AWUS036H (chipset RTL8187L) and I can crack perfectly with the old drivers but I can't connect to any wireless network (with both drivers, the one that comes with BT4 and the one that I used in BT3) !!
I do:
And the globe (network manager) stays green. I create a new wireless connection with everything, globe disappear and appear another "thing"... But it cant connect, the other thing that substitutes the globe stays there and it says (Device: wlan0 state: Disconnected).Code:/etc/init.d/networking start /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
Do you know why??
am I forgetting anything?
(sorry the bad English)
I use the Wireless Assistant to connect with my RTL8187L.
williamc: You install it in BT4?? it works fine?
thanks for the replay
I'm using BT3. I haven't tried it with BT4 yet.
how about using windows drivers using ndiswrapper?
With windows drivers using ndiswrapper you can't use monitor mode... so you cant crack wireless networks...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The University of Michigan says it's investigating the role of one of its senior medical school faculty members in a $276 million insider trading case.
Federal investigators say Dr. Sidney Gilman was involved with ex-hedge fund manager Mathew Martoma, who's accused of getting secret, advance results of tests on an experimental Alzheimer's drug.
Martoma was arrested Tuesday on charges filed in New York federal court.
The 80-year-old Gilman is a neurology professor and chaired a safety committee overseeing trials of the drug.
Gilman lawyer Marc Mukasey said his client is cooperating with investigators and has a non-prosecution agreement with prosecutors.
The university says in a statement that it takes the situation "very seriously" and is "carefully reviewing all of Dr. Gilman's activities" at the Ann Arbor school.

With clenched fists, Pat Neville threw back his head after an echoing tackle and let out a rebel yell, his long blond hair peeking out from beneath his crimson helmet.
It's a common war cry from the 6-foot-5, 205-pound Judge Memorial linebacker, who leads Class 3A with more than 120 tackles this season.
According to Judge Coach James Cordova, Neville is a defensive warrior. The turf is his battlefield, the Bulldogs his army.
"He is our defense," Cordova said. "He makes all of the adjustments on the field. He makes all the calls. He runs my defense."
But Neville defers much of the credit, as any true leader would.
"I don't know about" being the leader, he said. "There are always 11 other guys out there on the field with me. There are a lot more leaders on the field than get recognition."
It's true that Neville is just one of many players who make the Judge Memorial defense one of the most formidable in Class 3A.
Sosefo Falemaka is the anchor of a staunch defensive line, while senior captain and linebacker Tyler Wilkerson is the hardest worker on the team. The two have contributed more than 100 tackles to Neville's cause. A string of sophomores are waiting in the ranks.
But if the Bulldogs are a battalion, Neville is the chief.
It's an earned distinction.
When a team runs a no-huddle offense, Neville is trusted to check his defense on a dime. He's the play-caller on the field. When he's not squashing a run, he's batting down passes. He's known to grab his teammates by the shoulder pads in admonishment at one moment and pat them on the back the next.
"He sets the defense and sets the tone of the defense, the emotion of it," Cordova said.
It's a brand of leadership that doesn't end when he walks off the field.
Neville has logged countless hours reviewing plays and watching game film to prepare himself, and his team, for the next big game.
Each day, he sits side-by-side with Cordova to discuss defensive schemes so he already has the answer when the time comes to call a big play.
"He puts a lot of trust in me," Neville said. "We make sure I have it down pat, so I'm able to make the same call as the coach would."
"He's a field rat. He's just voracious about the way he does football," Cordova said. "He's constantly asking questions and looking at different plays. The amount of attention he puts into every detail of game makes everybody much more at ease."
No doubt, they can count on him to make big stops. Of his 120-plus takedowns this season, more than 80 are solo tackles.
"That's a beast in the middle," Cordova said.
Yet somehow his defensive prowess so far has been overlooked by collegiate coaches.
"There are some excellent linebackers in the state, and Neville is as good as any of them," Cordova said.
Neville's father was a fullback for Yale, and Neville hopes to keep the tradition going, maybe by playing for an Ivy League school himself.
But he keeps that hope in perspective for now.
"I'd love to play in college, but I'll ultimately choose my school based on academics," he said. "I've always wanted to be the best and strived to be the best, but it's day-by-day progress."
For now, his focus is on the progress of his team, which hopes to break through to reach the 3A state title game for the first time since it fell to Logan in 2007.
If anything could get them there, it's the Bulldogs' defense.
"Having someone out there like Neville gives them all direction and purpose," Cordova said.
• Senior linebacker Pat Neville leads Class 3A with more than 120 tackles this season, including more than 80 solo tackles.
• Judge coach James Cordova allows Neville to call the plays on the field. To earn the privilege, Neville has logged countless hours side-by-side with his coach reviewing game film and the playbook.

Awards Dinner
The Disabled Resources Center dinner on June 21 at The Reef drew a crowd of more than 200 people.
Celebrating its 36th annual Awards Dinner, the group adopted the Year of the Dragon as its theme because it symbolically features people who are passionate, brave, self-assured and generous with their resources.
The room was filled with dragons hanging in the air, fortune cookies adorning every plate and bamboo centerpieces symbolizing good luck and success. The guests were entertained by the soothing live music of Blue Coral Jazz. A photo booth was also included, donated by Pics4myParty, to catch the fun-filled memories of the evening.
Longtime friend of DRC, David Sanfilippo, director of Disabled Student Services at Cal State Long Beach, served as master of ceremonies. He entertained the crowd with his brilliant smile and funny jokes.
Board Vice President Theresa May de Vera stood in for Board President Lloyd Saposnek and welcomed the group. The Rev. Kit Wilke, DRC board secretary, gave the invocation.
Among the items up for bid in the silent auction was an autographed copy of Long Beach City Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske's book "Early Long Beach" and several sports baskets, including two Lakers-themed baskets - one of which contained an autographed basketball by Kobe Bryant. Another hot item that drew a lot of bidding was lunch for two with state Sen. Alan Lowenthal.
There was a live auction, but the big anticipation was for the opportunity ticket grand prize drawing - an eight-day/ seven-night stay for two in Hawaii with lodging, airfare, and car rental included, donated by Alohi Enterprises.
The $500 first prize drawing was won by David Sanfilippo, who graciously donated it back to the center.
Recipient of the Jerry Stein Independent Living Award was Wendy Welt Narro, a commissioner on the Los Angeles County Commission on Disabilities; Elizabeth Nelson, vocational rehabilitation counselor, was the recipient of the Community Service Award; Ron Arias, director of the Health and Human Services Department for the city of Long Beach, received the Civic Leadership Award; and Henry Broadbent received the DRC Volunteer of the Year Award. Jessica Bean-Harvey, a U.S. Navy veteran, received a $500 scholarship to continue her education.
Certificates of recognition to the awardees were presented from elected officials, including Lowenthal, state Sen. Roderick Wright, Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal, Assemblyman Isadore Hall III, Supervisor Don Knabe, and Schipske.
Executive Director Dolores Nason was there with husband, George, and her family. She closed the evening by mentioning the Year of the Dragon one last time:
"This is the year in the Chinese calendar when you can expect `big things to come.' DRC is looking forward to having a great year, thanks to the support of all those in attendance.
"And that is just what all of us at DRC are wishing for you folks: a wonderful year filled with big and exciting things."
Seen at the scene: Dinner Chairman Timothy Lashlee, Finola Campbell, Dora Hogan, Shirley Hsiao, Katie Ramirez, Ana Reyes, Cathy Parsa, and Ms. Wheelchair California 2012, Mary Zendejas.
Party at Joe Jost's
"We had a blast!" said Candice Stacy, referring to the party she and Cheryl Moland bought at last year's Steel Magnolia Gala. Held at the venerable Joe Jost's on June 22, the evening included the Joe Jost's special sausage sandwiches, pickled eggs, peanuts and, of course, schooners of beer.
Some fun games were organized by the hosts, Carolyn and John Faber and Don and Judy McNulty Black.
The shuffleboard table, in the back room, which was set aside for the evening, saw some hot action where friends fought a fierce battle for first place. Coming in first, after a playoff with her husband, Larry, was Kathy Choate. The pool table also saw a lot of competition. In a tie for first place, and thus requiring another playoff, were Wade Fleming and Jim Lingle. Jim prevailed and was crowned champion.
Each winner received a special commemorative Joe Jost's T-shirt.
FYI: The Steel Magnolia Gala will be held this year at the Virginia Country Club on Sept. 15. For information, call 562-331-8007.
Seen at the scene: hostesses Moland and Stacy with Larry, April Callos, Phil and Barbie Wendel, the Choates, John Lang, Kent Walker, Dick and Colleen Gardner, Jim and Kathy Lingle, Wade and Marjorie Fleming and Allan and Karen Weiss.
Musical Theatre West Footlighters
Musical Theatre West's Footlighters held its final "Music in the Morning" of the 2011-2012 theater season at the Long Beach Yacht Club on June 16.
The highlight of the day was the honoring of Footlighters' past presidents.
Paul Garman, the executive director of Musical Theatre West, introduced each of the former presidents: Judy McNulty Black, founder and first president; Mary Lu Hauser, who named the organization and served two terms; Shari Nemirow; Joan Wells; Marlene Temple; and Beverly Cook; and Susan Rose (in absentia).
The introductions were followed by a poem read and penned by Peggy Miller, featuring each of the past presidents. They received a past presidents pin and applause from the members for their leadership.
New officers and committee chairs were presented: President Grace Carroll, Cecil Cook, Vonda Lia, Debbie Whitaker, Kathy Biggs, Susan Nathon, Jayni Rhoads, Peggy Miller, Shirley Black, Marilyn Lonsdale, Terralee Pettinger, Jan Foster, Eva Waltros; Emily Chronister, Bev Cook, Lorna Rowland, Joan Wells and Dorothy McDermott.
The 150 members and guests in attendance were delighted by the presentation of scenes and songs from Musical Theater West's production of "Spamalot."

The Reds just now updated their active roster on Reds.com. Carlos Fisher, Juan Francisco, Sam Lecure, Matt Maloney, and Robert Manuel are now showing up on the Reds roster. They also re-moved Wilkin Castillo from the infielder category and placed him under the catcher category.
I hope Henry doesn't get swiped that would stink.
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
I'd say that Krivsky's trade of Dave Williams for Robert Manuel was a win.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Don't forget Calvin Medlock and Shackelford for Shaun Cumberland and Jorge Cantu.
But my guess is they don't believe he can currently stick at the major league level. I still think though he would eventually be a good solid 2B/OF who would be solid in every way off the bench.
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
I wonder what TB and the like will leave available for picking through. I think Walt is definitely gonna pick at least 1 player up in the rule 5. Where will we pick, same as the standings?
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
Sean Henry = this year's Carlos Guevara?
That is one scary utility-laden 40-man.
I can see the lineup come August, with Votto, Bruce, EdE and Phillips banged up.
1B Keppinger
2B Richar
SS Janish
3B Gonzalez
LF Rosales
CF Hopper
RF Freel
CA Castillo
I'm surprised Belisle is still around. He earned $1.2 Million in 2008 and the Reds can only cut his dollars on a Major league deal to I believe 70% of his 2008 deal. Since he's likely ticketed for AAA again, that sounds like a non-tender in the making. Why not just cut bait now and open a spot for Henry? I think the team should have protected Henry.
Some names that interest me that weren't protected:
James Skelton - C. He's a LH hitter who may fit with Hanigan. He only has 85 ABs in AA but he's had an 800+ OPS whereever he's played and had a good fall season in Hawaii. I'd take a chance on him. If you could get him through the season with some DL and rehab time in AAA, he'd be the team's top catching prospect. He could make up for lost playing time in winter ball next year. With Owings around to add an extra bat, the Reds could afford a roster spot for a guy with potential.
Chuck Lofgren - LHP. He was a top prospect a year ago. He had a horrible year, but what the heck. The Reds need a lefty.
Kevin Whelan - RHP. Control challenged reliever who I wouldn't mind the Reds having, but no way he can stick in the majors. I probably wouldn't waste a pick on him.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH

I actually found it quite pleasurable, and it prepared me for this strange, Gypsy lifestyle of an actor.
Scotland Yard has new leads on the missing child—and many point to a pedophile with alleged ties to a Gypsy trafficking ring.
With three others, they now constitute the San Miguel Five and play a combination of Afro-Latin, classical, and Gypsy jazz.
An avid gardener, he resides in the Hough neighborhood of Cleveland with his wife, Brenda, and their two dogs, Gypsy and Ginger.
(the exclamation point will be a must) as a blockbuster in the tradition of Annie Get Your Gun, Gypsy, and Funny Girl.
"What eyes he's got ain't for you," answered the Gypsy cruelly.
But the Gypsy girl and I were not to be disheartened by historical comparisons.
I looked from Gavin to the Gypsy woman, and again from her to him, and she began to tell a lie in his interest.
He may follow its growth as late as the Blast of yesterday and The Gypsy of to-day.
To tell the fortunes of Gypsy girls was, he thought, the refinement of presumption.
also gipsy, c.1600, alteration of gypcian, a worn-down Middle English dialectal form of egypcien "Egyptian," from the supposed origin of these people. As an adjective, from 1620s.
Cognate with Spanish Gitano and close in sense to Turkish and Arabic Kipti "gypsy," literally "Coptic;" but in Middle French they were Bohémien (see bohemian), and in Spanish also Flamenco "from Flanders." "The gipsies seem doomed to be associated with countries with which they have nothing to do" [Weekley]. Zingari, the Italian and German name, is of unknown origin. Romany is from the people's own language, a plural adjective form of rom "man." Gipsy is the prefered spelling in England.
To make a risky bet or call: You will find players consistently gypsying, flat-calling with kings up or less (1940s+ Gambling); (1950s+)

It's not old, it's vintage.
No matter what you call it, it's believed to be a first for the sitting first lady to wear a frock with, well, a bit of a past.
Michelle Obama's stellar style led her to wear a thrift-store find for the "Christmas in Washington" concert, which was taped on Sunday and will air this evening.
The high, square-neck number from famed American designer Norman Norell had a fitted bodice and full skirt, all in black lace. The piece is believed to be from the 1950s and was purchased at New York Vintage, a shop that considers itself a source for some of the finest vintage couture and designer clothes and accessories worldwide.
Shannon Hoey, owner of New York Vintage, told TODAYshow.com that the dress was chosen for the first lady by her unofficial style consultant: Ikram Goldman, owner of the tony Ikram boutique in Chicago.
Sources in the apparel industry estimated that the gown cost no less than $2,000 and could have cost much more.
"We're honored to be part of the first lady's wardrobe and truly happy to be a part of what's believed to be the first time a first lady wore a vintage gown," Hoey added, "It's very green [to wear vintage, hence recycled, clothing], and the quality of these pieces is unmatched."
Obama's love of high fashion and support of mainly American designers and brands has led many of these companies to increased brand recognition almost overnight. The Council of American Fashion Designers recognized Obama with its Board of Director's Special Tribute in 2009.
"She clearly is a woman who loves to dress up and picks clothes according to what she's doing," designer Diane von Furstenberg, president of the CFDA, told TODAYshow.com. "It's nice that she has a sense of style."

Hades Freezes Over: Duke Nukem Forever Makes Comeback
Jason Mick
September 4, 2010 10:20 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The king is back! "Duke Nukem Forever" has been revived, and is nearing release in a shocking turn of events.
(Source: Kotaku)
The demo features a quick taste of the game's combat gameplay, in which the macho-protagonist, Duke Nukem, fights to save his babes from hoards of evil extraterrestrials.
(Source: Kotaku)
The game features plenty of sexual innuendo just like its predecessors -- the demo concludes with Nukem appearing to be receiving oral pleasure from a pair of females.
(Source: Ripten)
"It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all outta gum."
"Hail to the king baby!", Duke Nukem is back. Some may take Friday's announcement of
Duke Nukem Forever
's resurrection as a sign of the end of times, but it's hard not to feel a bit of excitement that maybe, just maybe, this bad joke could transform into a modern first-person shooter gem.
For today's younger generation of gamers, Duke Nukem may not ring many more bells than Q*bert, but there was a time when the brash talking, hyper-masculine, buzz-cut womanizer Duke headlined one of the best selling first person shooters of its decade (
Duke Nukem 3D
By the year 2009, those who still remembered the games used them more frequently in punchlines than in praise. After all,
Duke Nukem 3D
's sequel, the ironically named
Duke Nukem Forever
, had seen an extraordinarily bizarre development lifecycle with developer 3D Realms
still without a finished title
after 12 years of development, dating back to 1997. Then in mid-2009 Take-Two Interactive, who had purchased publishing rights,
sued cash-strapped 3D Realms
, just as the company was
reportedly finishing up
the long awaited title.
The ensuing legal battle was settled with undisclosed terms in May of this year.
3D Realms retained the rights to the game. And in perhaps the wisest decision it had made concerning the seemingly cursed title, it decided to hand over the development reins to Randy Pitchford's studio Gearbox Software.
Mr. Pitchford was no Nukem newbie. He had been hired in the 1990s to help development
Duke Nukem 3D
. And while he left 3D Realms just as
Duke Nukem Forever
was kicking into full swing, Mr. Pitchford always kept a soft spot for the machismo-machine that made him a software superstar.
On Friday at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Mr. Pitchford let the cat out of the bag showing off a 15-minute live gameplay demo [
video here
] filled with sexual innuendo,
, and suitably attractive graphics. And according to Mr. Pitchford the game is nearly finished, and will launch complete with multiplayer. He states in a
recent interview
, "It's a large, large game."
If you think Mr. Pitchford might be tempted to tone the game down for today's
more sensitive audience
, think again. It looks to be headed for a solid "M" -- if it catches the ESRB folks on a generous day.
Mr. Pitchford describes the protagonist, remarking, "In Duke's world this is all real shit. These fucking aliens are here and they're fucking our planet up and they're taking our chicks. There's a reason for that, and Duke is the only guy who can stop them. In his universe, that all makes perfect sense. As a result, he is the most important person in his universe. And he knows it. He enjoys it. He franchises it! He's got Duke Burgers opened up all over the country. It's a weird universe, but it works for him. He's the king!"
But the "king" has his work cut out for him if he hopes to win back gamers. After all if there's one thing more deadly than a pack of babe-stealing aliens, it's the risk of remaining a punchline from one more delay.
Despite the risk, Mr. Pitchford is the picture of confidence and exuberance. He says he can understand if some are skeptical, but promises not to disappoint. He states, "I think everybody feels the way I felt when Duke was in trouble in 2009. Yeah, we've been jerked around. But we kind of want him to be triumphant. In Duke's time of need, we almost want to support him. And I'm feeling that kind of love."
As for Nukem, he appears to be feeling the love, too.
The demo concludes with the camera panning out to show that the whole intro experience was just a console game being played by the
Duke Nukem. And Duke has company -- a pair of females, who appear to have been giving old Nukem some oral pleasure. One of them takes a breather and looks up at him to ask, "So how was the game Duke, was it any good?"
He gruffly remarks, "Yeah, but after 12 fucking years . . . it better be."
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Help me ID this P1/P2 Tama
Posted 04 August 2011 - 04:59 PM ( #1 )
I was sorting through some items in storage and I came across one of my old Tamagotchis. I got curious and started digging around to find out if it might be worth anything, but I can't find it.
It's an original, the back reads "BANDAI 1997", with the Tamagotchi logo on front. The three buttons are white. But the case is totally clear. It's not the "clear white" I've found. There is no color to it at all, it is entirely see-through.
My only thought is that it was colored at one time, and if it was painted, maybe I scraped the paint off of it (sounds like something a bored 13-year-old me would have done)? Or that it faded over time (though it was stored in a dark, cool place)? But given that the logo on the front shows no damage or discoloration at all, I'm not sure what to think.
So did this exist? Or did I do something horrible to the case at some point?

Yes. If you're talking about this one, the clear casing is perfectly normal. It's a P2 by the way.
That's exactly it, I couldn't find it before. What's the official name of the color, since "clear" wasn't giving me anything?

That's exactly it, I couldn't find it before. What's the official name of the color, since "clear" wasn't giving me anything?
Yeah, I don't think they had real names for the different types, I have sometimes heard of the "Clear" shells being called "Skeletal" though.... Don't know if that helps you in anyway. And yes - if it has a swirly type of background it is a p2, if it's a checkerboard looking background it is a p1.
Edit: I just noticed that you were looking for an approximate value for it. It somewhat depends on if it is in box or not. If it's in good condition (no scratches), has directions, rarity, etc.
This site is somewhat of a good marking for what sort of a price you would be looking at for it: http://www.pixelmood.com/prices.htm
On this site he calls them Generation 1 or 2 and the prices are about the same for both gens. I hope that helps a bit more!

Feds: Seized 7-Elevens Ran 'Modern Plantation System'
(NEWSER) – Homeland Security and the DOJ raided 14 7-Eleven stores in Virginia and New York today, charging nine owners and managers with employing unauthorized immigrants and identify theft. According to officials, the stores hired more than 50 unauthorized immigrants, supplied them with stolen identities—some taken from children and dead people—stole their wages, and forced them in live in unregulated boardinghouses, the New York Times reports. The authorities also seized houses in both states, and are still investigating another 40 7-Elevens around the country.

Climate change is accelerating, and it will place unparalleled strains on American military and intelligence agencies in coming years by causing ever more disruptive events around the globe, the nation's top scientific research group said in a report issued Friday.
The group, the National Research Council, says in a study commissioned by the C.I.A. and other intelligence agencies that clusters of apparently unrelated events exacerbated by a warming climate will create more frequent but unpredictable crises in water supplies, food markets, energy supply chains and public health systems.
Hurricane Sandy provided a foretaste of what can be expected more often in the near future, the report's lead author, John D. Steinbruner, said in an interview.
"This is the sort of thing we were talking about," said Mr. Steinbruner, a longtime authority on national security. "You can debate the specific contribution of global warming to that storm. But we're saying climate extremes are going to be more frequent, and this was an example of what they could mean. We're also saying it could get a whole lot worse than that."
