For a guy battling kidney stones and hundreds of thousands of wannabes, Phillip Phillips wins Season 11 of Idol. Our favorite Idol. Ever. Congrats from WTIT.
Just like with any group of friends, people came and left over the years. More than 50 gentlemen have sat around our big round table in what is now a state of the art digital recording studio. We still call it "Tape Radio" because we're old guys who hate change. This comedy blog has won numerous awards and tells part of the story, but exists mostly to comment on life, politics, music and entertainment as it passed by our virtual window. One of our original guys left in 1985. But in 2013 he returned. So our starting five have three of the creators of WTIT.
Shortly after that on our http://facebook.com/WTITRADIO page we announced when our next recording night would be. Another of the original five had come back to join in. Galloping Gary, our brother, returned (since 1982) to record. The "Galloping Gary Garage Show" returned to WTIT in 2014. So for one special night (the first since 1973), four of the founding five were sitting at our table. The sight where all the guys who came after them had sat.
If you're here for a laugh, we hope you enjoy your visit. If you're here because of a cosmic accident where all of the web except this blog has gone, then we simply apologize. To learn more about WTIT visit WTIT.net. (View my

Gisele Bundchen is a Modern Muse
Gisele Bundchen graces one of the eight covers for Muse magazine's Spring 2011 issue.
The pictorial was shot by photographer Luigi Murenu.
The 30-year-old Brazilian model is using her blog to do some good in the world.
"Socio-environmental issues will be on the agenda of the Goodies Team," her team wrote. "They will be engaged in helping our planet. The three friends will appear twice a month on the Blog in cartoons that will encourage the preservation of the environment and also address the issues of solidarity."
We wish Gisele good luck in promoting the International Year of Forests!

Canadian firm Research In Motion (RIM), the maker of BlackBerry devices, has endured a torrid time over the past year. Worldwide service outages, sluggish sales of its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and a very public management shakeup have wiped billions off the company's value, while consumer confidence has waned in what was once the gold standard for smartphones.
BlackBerry 10, the mobile operating system that will power the next-generation of BlackBerry devices, also hit problems when it was delayed from this year to early 2013. But RIM has wisely used that extra time to focus resources on creating an operating system that it hopes will appeal to consumers and also lure third-party app developers. This will be vital if BlackBerry is to compete with Apple iPhone and smartphones running Google Android, as well as fend off the challenge of the renewed Microsoft Windows Phone.
What is BlackBerry 10?
Based on technology sourced through RIM's acquisition of QNX in April 2010, the new software will power both full touchscreen BlackBerry phones and the traditional hard keyboard devices. Some of the features on the software will be familiar to people who own BlackBerry PlayBook tablets (running version 2.0), but there are also various other new ideas coming too. We got a preview of the operating system on a Dev Alpha B BlackBerry 10 full touchscreen smartphone, and here is what we thought of the mobile OS so far.
Lock screen/homescreen
RIM wants everyone to get a personal experience out of BlackBerry 10, and that starts with the lock screen. You can set the screen to give an instant picture of latest calendar appointments, new messages and BBM or social network activity. Everything on BB10 has also been geared for gestures; intended to make it quick and easy to access all aspects of the OS with just a swipe of the thumb.
Active Frames/BlackBerry Flow
BlackBerry 10 comes with a new mobile user interface called "Flow", which is a tool for app developers that makes it easier for apps to talk to each other. This is because RIM wants to remove the "in and out" experience of other operating systems, and instead make things feel more seamless. For example, the system knows when you have not had any contact with a friend for some time, and proactively sources some information to update you on what they have been doing, including social media activity and even web links related to their company if it is listed.
Flow involves "active frames" being placed on the homescreen, which display real-time updating information on designated apps - similar to Microsoft's Live Tiles on Windows Phone. Activated with a swipe upwards, BlackBerry Peek can be used while in an app to shrink down the viewing box and take a glance at icons for BBM, inbox or other features. This means you can just take a quick peek to see if a new message has come in, but do not have to completely leave the app.
BlackBerry Hub
A major feature of BB10 is the BlackBerry Hub, which is like a master inbox that brings together all of the user's communications, across email, Facebook, messages, etc, as well as calendar alerts and so on. A long press on any message or alert brings up a side bar to the right that features all options for replying, sharing, deleting, etc. A swipe up and across always brings up the BlackBerry Hub wherever the user is on the operating system.
RIM says that its customers are "always connected" and so it wants to allow them to more easily manage all their communications from a central place. However, it remains to be seen whether this may be confusing for some people, as seeing status updates from Facebook friends alongside emails could be a little bizarre at first.
Web browser
The HTML5 web browser in BlackBerry 10 is said to outperform Chrome Canary in benchmark tests. Shifting between web pages is certainly zippy and responsive, and there is also an option to strip down to more basic HTML in Reader mode when you don't want the clutter. Any web pages can also be instantly shared on Facebook, Twitter and BBM via dedicated buttons.
Whilst it remains unclear what sort of camera will be fitted in the new BlackBerry devices, we do know a little about the software features. This includes what RIM is calling a 'rewind' system which enables you to correct when a photo goes wrong. It works by taking a series of shots at a time, and then enabling you to alter the image. So, for example, if someone blinks in the photo, you can shift the scroll meter back to when they weren't blinking and then save the photo. This system apparently works with multiple people.
In true BlackBerry tradition, RIM has focused on offering a good keyboard in BB10. On the touchscreen device, the word prediction appeared pretty impressive. The system actively learns how you tend to type and then throws up suggestions powered by a 'context engine'. It will even respond and adjust if you consistently miss a key with fat fingers.
With enough time spent on the device, RIM feels that users will be able to type messages with just the minimum of presses. A really nice feature is also being able to set three languages for the keyboard, allowing multilingual users to communicate easily without having to constantly switch between dialogues.
BlackBerry Balance
BlackBerry Balance allows you to essentially have two smartphones in one. One side of the OS can be linked to the BlackBerry business server and have all enterprise services connected, while the other can be a personal interface. These two sides can be given completely different looks, connections and apps, as well as protected with two different passwords. With Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) on the increase, this is a great feature.
App factor
Apps are going to be absolutely crucial to BlackBerry 10's success, and RIM knows this. It has been holding BlackBerry Jam developer festivals all around the world, and has given away 5,000 of the Dev Alpha handsets to developers for them to make new services. Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 has been praised following its launch this month, but many reviewers - including ourselves - have remarked on the lack of apps compared to Android and iOS. RIM must not make the same mistake.
All the major services, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, are already said to be on board with BB10, while a partnership with Gameloft will bring games to the platform. But the real question is whether RIM can secure the right breadth and depth of services for BlackBerry 10 to match, or even outperform, the competition.
We do know that BlackBerry App World is to be given an all new look in BB10, meaning you can access not just apps, but also games, music and video downloads using a single BlackBerry ID. You will be able to pay for content in a number of different ways, including credit card, PayPal or billing through their mobile carrier.
BBM/Launch event
BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is such an integral part of BlackBerry devices. It started life as a secure messaging tool for business users, but has since become much more widely adopted, particularly among young people, as it offers a free and quick way to instantly communicate with contacts.
RIM has so far stayed tight lipped on new developments for BBM, but it would seem bizarre not to move the system forward somehow. Interestingly, free voice calls over WiFi were recently added to BBM, possibly giving a peek at where things are to go.
We are expecting a big BBM announcement at the launch event for BlackBerry 10 on January 30, 2013. At this launch, RIM will showcase the final version of the OS and also unveil two handsets that will run it - a full touchscreen device and a hard keyboard phone. Stay tuned to Digital Spy Tech for all the details.

This Sunday at 2:00pm Danbury Community Center will have a showing of the movie 'Windfall.' This video is well worth the time, and it is a great opportunity for us to support the folks in Danbury. If you are available on Sunday I hope to see you there!! It is a GREAT way to avoid the black flies for the afternoon.
Wind power… It's green… It's good… It reduces our dependency on foreign oil… That's what the people of Meredith, in upstate New York first thought when a wind developer looked to supplement this farm town's failing economy with a farm of their own — that of 40 industrial wind turbines. Attracted at first to the financial incentives, residents grow increasingly alarmed as they discover side effects they never dreamed of, as well as the potential for disturbing financial scams. With wind development growing rapidly at 39% annually in the US, WINDFALL is an eye-opener for anyone concerned about the future of renewable energy.
Windmills – wind turbines - are not so green.

In This Economy, Is It Wrong to Spend Money?
Salon's Cary Tennis and Slate's Prudence both hand out advice. Today, they happened to answer the same letter from a guy conflicted about spending his inheritance from grandma. Let's compare and contrast their responses.
This helpless, recent college grad hates his job and wants to go travel. But isn't it a bit gauche to live off the $30,000 you didn't earn when people are jobless and starving, right here in our own country? Um, no it's not. Spend the money, fool. But alas no one was around to bonk him on the head, so he wrote in to two of our most salient thinkers, Prudence from Slate and batshit hat-wearer Cary Tennis over at Salon. And they both responded! Their answers? Typical.
Prudence fawns all over the youngster's work in poverty aid and wishes him "Bon Voyage!" and reminds him that he'll be stimulating the economy by spending dead gramma's blood money.
Cary Tennis, on the other hand, does a deep dive into the meaning of colonialism and travel and service and the effect of gamma rays on man in the moon marigolds and comes up with this:
It is in part an attitudinal problem: How do you orient yourself to cast a modest shadow? Can you be humble and love the people and the lands that you travel through? Can you level yourself? Can you cleanse yourself of the savior impulse, not look down on others, not presume that they need your help, not pity them nor mistrust them nor assume that when they look at you you have any idea what they are really seeing? When they look at you they may well see the man who ran them off their farms. Or they may see the man who saved them from tyranny. There is no knowing what others see when they look at us. That is the point: You must allow yourself to be regarded. You must be the object of their gaze. You must uncouple your ego from the adventure of being observed. You must be nothing, or less than nothing, go about invisibly with no mission. That is my sense of it: That even a laudable mission is a presumption, and thus an outrage on the culture that it presumes to serve.
If you lost the thread about three words in, that makes two of us.
So again, our advice: Grams is dead as door nails, so just go. See the world. Your shitty job and this shitty country and this shitty economy will be waiting for you when you get back.

Kurt Johnson was arrested Thursday in a Daytona Beach prostitution sting
A St. Johns County firefighter is one of four men arrested in a Daytona Beach police prostitution sting, a police official said.
Two sexual predators and a man with cocaine also were arrested in the sting, police said.
Kurt Kevin Johnson, 55, was picked up at 11:38 a.m. Thursday during the sting and told officers he was a fire lieutenant with St. Johns County, said Daytona Beach police Chief Mike Chitwood.
Johnson, charged with solicitation to commit prostitution and cited for using his vehicle for prostitution or lewdness, left the Volusia County Branch Jail at 6:30 p.m. Thursday after posting $500 bail, a booking officer said.
According to an arrest report, Johnson, of St. Augustine, approached a police woman posing as a prostitute at the intersection of South Ridgewood and Freemont avenues, an area known for prostitution, while in his 1997 Dodge truck with a license plate that read KEEPAH, police said.
When a Daytona Beach patrol car drove by, Johnson asked the undercover officer if the police knew her, the report states.
Johnson then asked the officer if she needed a ride and she told him she had a motel room. The officer then asked Johnson how much money he had and he said he had $50 and asked what he could get for that.
Johnson pulled into the parking lot of the Travel Inn where he was arrested, police said.
Johnson could not be reached for comment as his contact number was redacted from the Daytona Beach police report, unlike the arrest reports of three other men arrested in the sting, whose information was not taken out. His jail mug shot is also being withheld from public view because of a legal records exemption.
Police spokesman said Johnson's information was blotted in black ink because Florida law forbids the release of information on firefighters.
The three other men arrested are Joseph Latasso, 75, of Edgewater, Deron Ballinger, 47, of Holly Hill, and Lee Anderson, 55, of New Smyrna Beach.
Latasso, who was previously arrested in February at South Ridgewood and Freemont avenues, was again arrested at the same location Thursday. Police said Latasso offered to pay the undercover officer $20 for oral sex. He was charged with solicitation to commit prostitution.
Ballinger arrived with $15 and requested oral sex and when police tried to arrest him, he tried to swallow cocaine he had on him, police said. He was charged with possession of cocaine, destroying or tampering with evidence and resisting an officer without violence.
Anderson, a sexual predator, offered $10 for oral sex, police said. He was charged with solicitation to commit prostitution.
Anderson was accompanied by Anthony DiGrazia, also a sexual predator, who was on conditional release for possession of child pornography. DiGrazia was also detained, police said.
DiGrazia, 55, had a purple vibrator sticking out of his left front pocket and was charged with violating five demands of his conditional release, police said.

Rapid advances in technology have transformed the workplace in recent years. Technology has changed the way we learn. The explosion of technology has impacted the way people communicate and collaborate. Common examples of different tools are wikis, blogs, social networks, webcasts, webconferencing, collaboration workspaces, online course libraries, and podcasts. Web 2.0 tools allow learners to share knowledge and best practices in a wiki, blog, or discussion forum, and form networks through a social network site. Users are able to create and modify content on the internet instead of just reading websites.
Some agencies have begun to implement different technologies into their learning and development programs. In terms of training, organizations are using these tools to cut training costs, reduce carbon footprint, and increase continual learning outside the classroom. Below are examples of agencies who have implemented newer technologies into their employee development programs. Also listed are types of tools, and additional resources.
WIKI Weekly Tech Update
Facebook: Social Media Tool or LMS??
With reported daily participation from over 175 million users, who can compete with the global pervasiveness of Facebook? The easy-to-use interface, coupled with instant access to literally millions of individuals has created a catalyst for information-sharing in the 21st century; and it's only going to grow.
Here are some statistics from Facebook's Press Room:
· Facebook has more than 500 million active users
· People spend over 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook
· There are over 900 million objects that people interact with
(pages, groups, events, and community pages)
· More than 30 billion pieces of content (links, news stories, blog
posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) are shared each month.
· There are more than 70 translations available on the site.
· People on Facebook install 20 million applications every day
· There are more than 200 million active users currently
accessing Facebook through their mobile devices.
· There are more than 200 mobile operators in 60 countries
working to deploy and promote Facebook mobile products.
With such an impressive track record, everyone's trying to take advantage of the great opportunities that Facebook has to offer, learning professionals included. It turns out that Facebook's unique infrastructure contains an API (Application Programming Interface), which enables users to create dynamic content, similar to a website. Facebook's API distinguishes it from other social media sites, and gives learning professionals the opportunity to create their very own LMS. Plenty of applications already exist to help facilitate this process including whiteboard apps, apps for streaming live video, and perhaps most notably Udutu.
"The myUdutu™ Online Course Authoring Tool is a FREE web-based tool which provides a user friendly platform to create highly interactive elearning courses quickly and easily."Udutu has recently developed an app specifically for Facebook, allowing individuals to create and upload eCourses and closely monitor the learning or training process.
Obviously, learning via Facebook is not appropriate in all situations, but it is undoubtedly a great tool that provides endless opportunities for training and development in a familiar web-based environment.
(What are some types of new technologies available to me?)
Web-conference: a method to allow instructors to conduct live meetings, trainings, and presentations via the Internet. Web-conferences allow participants opportunities to ask questions and participate in polls. Common examples of web-conferencing tools are Webex, Adobe Connect, Goto Meeting, and Live Meeting.
Social Networks/ Communities of Practice: online communities of people who develop friendships, find professional connections, share interests, and gather knowledge and information. These communities are formed online through social sites. Learning and development programs can utilize these networks to link course participants before and after a training event to share knowledge and ideas regarding the course. Instructors and participants provide links to articles, webinars, and on-the-job examples before, during, and after a training event.
Podcasts: a type of online media delivery allowing users to download files via a feed onto a computer and MP3 player. Podcasts allow learners to access trainings at different times depending on workload and availability. Instructors create course podcasts for learners to download and listen on their MP3 player, mobile phone, and laptop.
Blogs: a website which allows users to share opinions, reflections, and discuss topics in the form of an online journal. Learning and development programs can incorporate blogs to provide supplemental course information and updates on course materials. Participants can discuss the course in this space.
Microblogs: a popular tool to share knowledge and resources with one another. Instructors can incorporate microblogs to create a community around a course or an activity. Instructors also can post tips, assignments, and other information pertaining to the course. Course participants can summarize information learned during and after courses. Participants at conferences are using microblogs to informally exchange information learned from conference sessions. Common microblogs are Twitter, Tweetdeck, and Yammer.
Intergrated Collaboration Enivronment or Collaborative Workspace: a virtual environment where teams may work on projects and share information. Project teams can access a shared workspace where they upload files and share them with one another. Common examples are Sharepoint, Google Apps, Google Docs, Google Wave, and Moodle.
Individuals may also establish shared spaces to learn from one another either formally or informally. For example, individuals from different agencies involved in training and development may create a workspace to share ideas, experiences, and resources to develop a supervisory training program.
Wikis: a website allowing users to create and edit content on any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser. This method is used in learning and development programs to promote collaborative learning and information sharing. Instructors and participants use wikis to create reading lists. Course participants use wikis to for team projects. Organizations use wikis to post internal processes, publish reference guides, and capture best practices.
Social Bookmarks: a website allowing users to collect and store bookmarks online, tag with key words and share with others. This type of tool allows course instructors develop course reading lists. Course participants supplement course material by subscribing to a particular tag or keyword that relates to the course.
Media Sharing: an online environment which allows users to search for photos and videos for uses in presentations, learning materials and coursework. Users publish photos and videos to a larger audience. Instructors can record workshops and upload them to an online social network. Common media sharing tools are Flickr, Google sites, and Youtube.
Virtual Worlds: a simulated environment where users can interact with one another and create objects through an onscreen avatar. This type of environment allows course participants to attend live workshops and conferences in a virtual classroom or conference space. Participants are able to interact with each other in much the same way as attending a real workshop or conference. Course project teams can meet and collaborate in a virtual space. Organizations have developed courses using a virtual environment to conduct simulations of various situations including disaster preparedness or medical emergencies. Common virtual world software include Second Life, Protosphere, and Forterra.
Authoring Tools or Instructional Tools: software packages instructional designers use to create and package content to end users. Authoring tools are commonly used to create e-learning modules. They are written to conform to international standards such as Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). These tools allow for Common authoring tools are Abode Captivate, Adobe Flash, and Articulate.
Mobile Learning: Learning that occurs across locations. There is not a fixed, predetermined location for learning to occur. Mobile learning's focus is on learning across contexts and learning with mobile devices. Mobile learning devices are used to access online courses and resource. Examples of mobile devices that can support learning are a laptop, cell phone, personal digital assistant, MP3 player, smartphone, game device, tablet PC, and an e-book.
Mobile learning can do much more than course delivery. Mobile learning can also foster collaboration among individuals, conduct assessments and evaluations, provide access to performance support, and capture evidence of a learning activity.
How do I get my agency to embrace these technologies?
Although some agencies are embracing the Web 2.0 phenomenon, many agencies are hesitant to allow the use of these tools. Here are some things to consider if you would like your agency to allow the use of these tools:
A few agencies have implemented newer technologies including Web 2.0 tools in their learning and development programs.
Department of Veteran's Affairs, San Diego Healthcare System
Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA), San Diego Healthcare System conducts emergency and disaster preparedness training in a virtual environment. Nurses' log into a virtual environment and assume control of their avatar. Once in the environment, the nurses complete emergency and disaster preparedness drills.

text: "There were so many fewer questions...when stars were still just the holes to heaven" - Jack Johnson Being out of the collective Tribe loop this past weekend while visiting the in-laws in Wisconsin, I succeeded (somewhat) in removing myself from the day-to-day minutiae of the Indians. Sure, I caught the highlights of each game on TV and pounded out a Lazy Sunday; but for the most part, I just enjoyed the sunshine and the company in Milwaukee - happy to hear the news that the Indians won, but by no means searching out the game recaps or the box scores much more than giving them a cursory look in the morning. You know what? It was pretty fun, just to see that the Indians were winning games from afar and not worrying too much about the absurdity of Jamey Carroll playing RF or getting worked up over a lack of command from Justin Masterson...remember, I said I was "somewhat" successful. Realizing this, it brought me to an interesting thought on a NINE-hour ride back to Cleveland on Monday (it normally takes 6 ½ hours) and that is - is relative ignorance bliss when it comes to following a baseball team or does reveling in the details through total immersion increase a fan's overall enjoyment? Obviously, if you're talking about following a bad and frustrating baseball team like the Indians this year and last, merely catching the scores from a distance (which is what most fans do once NFL Training Camp opens if the Indians are out of it in mid-June) is a pretty easy answer. But when a team gels at the right time and makes that run, like the Indians did in 2007, does taking that longer ride through the ups and downs of the coaster mean that you're any more invested than someone who just enjoys baseball for just the entertainment aspect of it, hopping on the bandwagon at the appropriate time? It's a question that we ask ourselves as fans at the beginning of each season - how emotionally invested to this team am I going to be? Is it better to have a working knowledge of Trevor Crowe's track record in the Minors and realize that he doesn't project as much more than Ben Francisco, or is it preferable to watch him "swing a hot bat" for a couple of weeks and irrationally inflate hope? Is it more satisfying to simply get miffed about an inane aspect of the game, like the lack of bunting from an Eric Wedge team or is anything greater gained (other than increasing frustration levels) by knowing about Wedge's underperformance from Pythagorean expectation, his inability to translate a good second half to a hot start, or his obtuseness in terms of playing time (or lack thereof) for particular players? Which is more fun to know about Alex White - that he's a "top-5 talent" who just got $2.25M from the Indians with an arm to dream on and leaving it at that or searching out this scouting report on him, which states that White is an extremely risky pick by the Indians, with a big league arm, but with control issues and mechanical shortcomings? What maximizes enjoyment in this realm of fandom? I think back to the "Era of Champions" in the mid-1990's, which represented the first taste that most Indians' fans got of winning and of winning consistently and how fun that ride was. While it was happening, I'm sure that people were likely more rabid in terms of their fanhood, if only because it was so wildly enjoyable to watch one of the greatest lineups in recent memory fight off the losses with such regularity. But I know that I didn't sit and worry about Kenny Lofton's service time or anybody's options getting unnecessarily vested, or what the Indians were going to do with their pitching rotation two years down the line with the farm system devoid of quality starters ready to step into the Tribe's five. In hindsight, I just sat back and enjoyed the ride - maybe because I was a high-school kid more interested in other things - but also because the wealth of information that now exists at my fingertips was simply not there. I watched the games and read the paper and consumed everything that I thought existed having to do with the Indians, and it was a blast. Now, in this age of instant access and analysis, with information coming out of our ears in terms of baseball statistics and opinion, one doesn't have to work real hard to become a better informed fan by going above and beyond those tools that we all used to ride that mid-90's train. But getting elbow deep in the stuff reveals the dichotomy of being a fan in terms of being entertained by a diversion for enjoyment while attempting to know as much as possible about that entertainment. By no means am I suggesting that people who know what Zach Putnam's K/9 rate in Akron is makes them any more of a fan than the person who goes to every game and dons the uniform of their favorite player, sticking with the team through thick and thin. The two methods get to the same destination, cheering for the team you've always loved in the hopes that the players that they've cast their lot with succeed to the point of perennial contention. But it gets back to the fundamental question, which is whether the enjoyment of a sport or of a team is raised exponentially through increased knowledge and analysis. If you're reading this, you likely know where I ultimately stand on this...and again, if you're reading this, you're probably standing right next to me. To me, I like to see the logic (or lack thereof) behind a move or a decision made by the Indians and analyze it to the point that I can come to grips with at least the thought process behind the move, coming to a conclusion after looking at the different aspects. Ultimately, the Indians remain enjoyable to me, something that interests me and entertains me and while my thirst for more information, more knowledge, and more educated opinion on the Indians remains generally unquenched, it never removes that unbridled joy that I felt in the mid-90s or in 2007, it only enhances it...it just makes waiting for that unbridled joy to occur again a little more painful.

Quote from: bigs5068 on October 05, 2010, 05:01:24 PM You're a pretentious bastard if you somehow presume to know where I would have gone to law school had I had a certain LSAT score! How do you have any idea what I value? Maybe my ties to Las Vegas (10 years of personal and professional relationships) is worth more to me than a degree from Stanford, even if the cost was equal to that of Boyd. Furthermore, maybe I want to practice in Las Vegas. Therefore, attending Boyd would make far more sense than attending Stanford because Boyd gives me access to internships and part-time jobs during law school that Stanford would not. Get the F*ck off your high horse! You don't know me and you have no clue what I would do.
Fennemore Craig over Harvard and Standford applicants. H
When a statistical correlation becomes a hard presumption, that is where I take offense. Personally, I really don't care how big law firms select their associates. For a litany of reasons, I would rather cut off a finger with a dull knife before accepting a position at most of those firms. However, there is just too much snootiness in the legal profession. As humans, we are just flawed. Collectively, our judgment sucks; hence, the need for a legal profession. Judging an individual solely by a statistical curve on a justification of "efficiency" is both wrong in a moral sense and a byproduct of flawed judgment. I would expect more from attorneys. However, I shouldn't because most attorneys are more flawed than the population they represent.I don't have a problem with the assertion that most YHS grads are more qualified on the whole than most grads of lower-rated schools. When that judgment (I wouldn't call it a rule), is then applied to individual candidates syllogistically, that is where I take offense. Statistics are a form of inductive reasoning. To apply a statistical correlation deductively is not logically valid nor is it fair.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A family near Boston is now one member larger, and it's all thanks to Facebook.
The Cordell kids from Mansfield, Massachusetts, have been asking for a puppy for sometime--and they have finally gotten their wish. But it took one million "likes" on Facebook in order to get Millie, their adopted Labrador/Shepherd mix from a no-kill animal shelter in New York.
Ryan Cordell, the kids' father, said he thought he was being clever, asking the kids to get a million likes. So mom Eviee took a picture of the kids with the sign, that read: 'If we get a million likes, we get a puppy. Side note: Dad doesn't think we can do it.'
The joke was on Dad; it took less than six hours for the kids to reach their one million mark.
But this is not the first time Facebook has been used to make a big family decision.
There is also a picture of a man holding a sign that says: 'My wife says I can get a bunny if I get 1 million likes! P.S. We have five kids, a dog and a bird. Please like.'
It is a phenomenon that is popping up, where people get rewards for getting a certain amount of Facebook likes; everything from trips to Disney World to a teenager having his crush sleep with him. In the cases we found, the goal was reached, and then some.
As we have seen from these experiments, it really is not all that difficult to get one million "likes".
Is this the new wave of parenting and decision-making? Time will tell; but it seems no matter the case, the power of social media shouldn't be underestimated.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Endopterygotes are those insects with distinctive larval, pupal, and adult stages. Their name (endo = within, pterygos = wing) refers to the fact that in later immature stages the wing buds are not evident externally, but instead the future wing tissues are entirely internalized; they make their first external appearance in the penultimate (pupal) stage. In contrast, other winged insects (for example, bugs) have external wing buds in instars before the penultimate.
Another name for this group is Holometabola, referring to the "complete metamorphosis" of the species; that is, the dramatic changes between larval, pupal, and adult stages.
Four of the five largest orders of insects belong to this group (Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, and Diptera).

Rokita Distributes Voting Equipment Funds to Bartholomew County
Contact: AJ Freeney-Ruiz
Indianapolis, IN - Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita today distributed election reform money to Warren County. This was part of the latest round of funding Rokita's office is giving to counties from the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002.
Warren County received $152,573 in federal and state money which was distributed by the Secretary of State's office. This latest round of reimbursements brings to $29.9 million the total distributed under HAVA to Indiana counties since Rokita's office began distributing funds to help pay for voting equipment upgrades resulting from the required phase-out of lever and punch card voting machines.
Rokita personally met with Warren County Clerk Jackie Brier to reimburse the county for the new Fidlar Accuvote Voting System machines that will be accessible to all of Warren County's approximately 6,500 voters in all 13 election precincts beginning with the 2006 May Primary Election. Warren County will switch from punch card ballots.
"It's been a long road to get to this point," said Brier. "Secretary Rokita's office has been extremely helpful throughout this process, and we couldn't be more thankful for their help. We think our selection of voting machines was a good one because we feel the Accuvote machines are easy and user friendly."
"It is great to see federal and state money being put to good use to help ensure fair and efficient elections for Hoosiers," Rokita said. "Warren County can now focus on other election matters."
Congress passed HAVA in response to issues in various parts of the country during the 2000 Presidential Election. HAVA requires states and counties to replace all punch card and lever machine voting systems by January 1, 2006. A number of Indiana counties will be eligible for additional funding in the coming months.

Captain's Report
Captain's Report by Capt. Steve
Keep the Fat
Tigé's mission in life is to produce premium wakeboats. In order to remain competitive Tigé has come up with a triple whammy for creating the wake you long for. First is the old fashioned ballast tank. It's a tried and true method of adding weight and increasing your wake. There's no reason to stop doing this so Tigé has dual ballast sacks in the stern and a horseshoe shaped one at the bow. From here it gets interesting.
Playing TAPS
Tigé has also reconfigured the hull, and added a trim plate aft, so you can dial in the parameters you're looking for in ways that were previously unavailable. The hull design is called Convex V and the variable part of the equation is called TAPS 2, for Tigé Adjustable Performance System.
The Convex V/TAPS Marriage…
Where other wakeboats have hull bottoms that run in a straight line until they get to the stern and then hook down, Tigé's curves slightly upward. That drops the transom down, creating bigger wake. The more of the transom in the water, the more wake you will have. Tigé then adds an adjustable plane on the centerline, much like a trim tab. Want a bigger wake? Adjust the TAPS 2 plane up and you have a fatter wake. Want a flat wake? Bring the TAPS 2 plane down and you get a more laminar flow to the hull.
Getting it On
Does it work? Oh yeah it does, but better with the ballast bags filled. Without any added ballast, activating the TAPS 2 did make a difference: the bow came up and down with the control. But the difference in wake was negligible, at least from the driver's seat. At the end of the towline, maybe it would be more pronounced. But the fact that it did anything at all is a step past other boats that have a fixed, hooked hull.
However, add ballast and things change dramatically. Now when you bring the TAPS 2 up, the stern sinks way down, and the wake… well, if you want higher then perhaps Olympic ski jumping is more for you. I was able to go easily from a moderately flat wake to a monster wake-surfing wake, all with the touch of a throttle mounted button. From an operational standpoint, it wasn't pretty. No one would say that operating a boat with so much extra weight, and having the bow so high, is efficient or cost effective, but in the world of wake boarding, it's not about the driver's comfort, it's all about the wake and speed, and in this boat, you can have it your way.
Tigé Touch…
But all of this is of little consequence if you can't get back to a favorite position the next day. With Tigé Touch, you can do that and more. With its 6.5" (16.5 cm) touch screen, you can create up to 25 different profiles that contain information on boat speed, ballast bag levels, and TAPS adjustments, AND you can name those profiles after the friends that they are dialed in for. Tigé Touch also allows you to have full control of all switches and tunes (regardless of what source they come from) and even gives you a readout of all gauges. We get into a full review of Tigé Touch elsewhere on our site and you should check it out.
Comfort Level…
Aside from wake control, the Tigé RZ2 is also a very comfortable boat. The helm bucket seat is wrap-around and both the seat bottom and lumbar areas are firm mesh. This makes for a cooler seat on hot days, relieves sticking to the seat when you're in a swimsuit, and keeps the seat dry when you're sitting in a wet swimsuit.
The helm is totally uncluttered because most of the gauges are relegated to the Tigé Touch. You still have a speedo, tach, and TAPS2 gauge with fuel and engine temp embedded in each of the outside gauges. The fuel gauge could use a little tweaking though. It's a bar graph that gives fuel quantity in percents. I'd like to see a readout of the gallons remaining instead. The throttle is right at the fingertips when your arm is resting on the nice armrest, and that armrest also allows you to make incremental changes to the boat's speed.
Tricked Out
The collapsible Alpha-Z Tower is a Tigé trademark. Not only does it look like a work of art, it's very functional. There are handholds in the top that are great for holding the boat at the dock when you want to do a quick passenger change on the fly. Docking lights are embedded in the forward points. The underside has mounts that accommodate up to four Wet Sounds speakers. Above is the tow point that is normally reversible to reveal the white all-around nav light, but on our Platinum Edition this towpoint is also home to a camera that swivels with the towline. Because of this, the nav light is mounted on top of the camera.
As for being collapsible, the tower is internally counterweighted, which makes it much easier to lower and raise. This is a great feature for owners who want to store their Platinum in the garage.
Platinum Perks
This boat was intended as a "pull out all the stops" ride, and Tigé certainly delivered on that. To name a few of the features, there's the custom embroidered snap-in carpeting, stainless trim over the bulwark cubbies, platinum level upholstery highlights, a pair of custom engraved Platinum Edition grab rails at the bow, upgraded stereo system, color matched tower and speakers, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Given the fact that the Tigé RZ2 makes controlling the wake so easy, coupled with her striking good looks and easy handling, it's hard not to look at this boat and feel that she's a winner. The only mistake that we've seen is people thinking she's only for the wakeboat crowd. This is a capable day boat that will also serve as a high end wakeboat. That means the kids can use her during the week, and the parents can have her on the weekends.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Tigé RZ2 Platinum (2011-) is 41.9 mph (67.4 kph), burning 25.2 gallons per hour (gph) or 95.38 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Tigé RZ2 Platinum (2011-) is 26.7 mph (43 kph), and the boat gets 3.28 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.39 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 142 miles (228.53 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 409-hp PCM ZR.

With A-list underwear model David Beckham on his way to France to grace the catwalks, bus-stop billboards, and football pitches of yet another glamorous metropolis, Goal.com can exclusively reveal a transcript of a telephone call which Mr Posh Spice himself made to a certain Joseph Barton this morning…
|I don't understand. This morning the boss called me into his office and told me I am free to leave.
"You're a nice guy, Andre," he said. "But you just can't keep yourself away from Burger King, can you?" He has a point, I suppose.
"Watching you get taken to the cleaners by Brighton was bad enough," Arsene told me. "But last night, seeing you being given a run-around by Stewart bleeding Downing, was the last straw. I've decided to call Nigel Winterburn out of retirement. He's got more pace than you."
His words stung me, but I am now looking for a new club.
Surely someone will take me. I've been capped by Brazil – honestly!
- Andre, 29, Colney
JB: Bonjour. Joey Bartoinette speaking.
DB: Joey! It's David. David Beckham. How's it going? You busy?
JB: Hello Becks! No, not busy at all, good sir, just relaxing. Reading. Educating myself. The usual. You see, the unexamined life is not worth living, David, just in case you were wondering. And the best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination. Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. I think, therefore I am.
DB: *sighs* Yes, yes, you're very clever, Joey. Listen. I'm heading over to Paris this afternoon.
JB: Paris?! No kidding. Nice one. You got a modelling gig there or something?
DB: Modelling? No! Why is that the first thing everyone says? No – I'm a still a footballer, Joey. I'm signing for PSG.
JB: Seriously? You're still playing football? I didn't realise. Well, congratulations on the move. Do you need to brush up on your French, joli garcon?
DB: Yeah, actually. In fact, that was why I rang.
JB: Then you came to the right place! Plants are shaped by cultivation and men by education, David.
DB: Enough with the philosophy quotes, Joey, seriously. Let's just stick to what I might need to say on the pitch, eh? How about, "have you never heard of 'Beckham territory'? Leave this free kick for me, Zlatan?" I expect I'll be needing to say that a fair bit.
JB: Really? I've never needed that. My favourite is, "intercept one of my misplaced passes again, sunshine, and you'll be picking my studs out of your shinpad". Why don't we start with that?
DB: No thanks, Joey. Can you teach me, "kit man, make sure that my eyeshadow, blusher, and spare Alice band are ready at half-time."
JB: Nah, nah. You don't need to know that. Listen, I'll tell you how to say "cheer up sweetheart. Have something to eat – even just a single slice of toast. You are well-respected in the fashion industry, I promise."
DB: What? Who the hell would I need to say that to?
JB: Ummm, no-one. Never mind.
DB: Look, let's just leave it. You've not been much help, Joey, but thanks anyway.
JB: Okay, fine. But it's not my fault that you're not willing to learn. And that the England national team has never utilised my talents, and that the British media are constantly out to get me, and that referees and the FA are always picking on me.
[Long silence]
DB: O-kaaaay. Look, I think you have some issues to settle, Joey, so I'll leave you. I'm going to try Alan Pardew instead, I hear he's fluent in French these days. Cheerio Joey!
JB: Ta-ra, old sport! Don't forget - the ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival. Bye now!

"Why does the TV business hate people over 50?" That's one of the most common questions I get asked by viewers.
This is not an idle query. The TV industry, like much of corporate America, chases youth. That pursuit has a major impact on programming. It helps explain why a low-rated show such as NBC's "Community" can keep going (and going, and going ...) while older-skewing shows are usually toast. Even if they have more total viewers.
So now you know why "Harry's Law," the legal drama with sexagenarian Kathy Bates, is no longer on the air. NBC executives

Cacao Elixirs
functional hot chocolate
Sweetened with low-glycemic coconut sugar and infused with functional herbs, we've given the roots of chocolate a Gnosis Twist.
Chocolate was first consumed not in a bar or truffle, but as a drink… and with good reason! Drinking Chocolate contains more antioxidants, fewer fats and calories, and its nutrients are absorbed into the system more efficiently.
It's the perfect carrier for functional herbs! Extremely effective in reducing coffee intake - just replace all or part of your morning cup of joe with a cup of this energizing hot cocoa. Get cozy or blend with nutmylk and ice on a hot summer day when that ice cream truck is calling your name - here's the healthful choice.
So versatile - these elixir mixes can be used in any recipe that calls for cacao…
and even ones that don't!

There's An App For That: Officer Catches iPhone Robber
June 18th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
When it came to a recent strong-arm robbery, there was an app for that.
On June 10, 2012, were dispatched to a strong armed robbery that occurred in the parking lot of the BP gas station at 1202 W Highland Ave. The victim provided a description of the suspect and a vehicle he entered after the robbery. The victim advised District 3 Police Officer Joseph Carlson that his iPhone and wallet were taken.
Officer Carlson, who has an iPhone himself, as well as knowledge of the iPhone application called "Where is my phone?" immediately downloaded the app to his personal iPhone. Officer Carlson then worked with the victim to enter information which immediately provided a Google map of the current location of the victim's iPhone. The location was the 2700 block of W. North Ave. Officer Carlson broadcast a description of the suspect and vehicle as well as the location. Responding squads located the vehicle and arrested the 20-year-old suspect without incident. The victim's phone was found in possession of the suspect and his wallet was recovered inside the vehicle.
The suspect confessed and was charged with Robbery-Use of Force by the District Attorney's office.

5 Ways To Maximize Existing Natural Light in Your Home
There's not a lot you can do to increase the amount of sunlight coming into your home — unless you're planning on a major remodel. But if you're low on natural light, there are a handful of small things you can do to be sure you're using it to your advantage.
1. Mirrors. Place a mirror on a wall adjacent to a window or opposite a window. When placed adjacent (as in this space by Elizabeth Cb Marsh, via Houzz), a mirror will mimic the window and make it seem like you have more windows in the wall. When placed opposite, the mirror will reflect light and views from the window.
2. Reflective surfaces like a back-painted glass backsplash (as seen on Kitchen Resource Direct) can bounce light around and give the impression of more light when windows are limited.
3. Let the light in. Avoid heavy, light-blocking window treatments. Opt instead for translucent shades that provide privacy while allowing light into the space, like the ones in this space from HGTV. This will even give a soft glow to the shade and bounce light into the wall directly adjacent to the shaded window.
4. Ceilings a little lighter than walls. Flat white is best if your walls are white, but if you have dark walls, be sure to go with a slightly lighter color on the ceiling, as in this room from Better Homes and Gardens. White on the ceiling in an otherwise rich room will only feel oppressive. Matte paint — while not reflective like glossy or semigloss — is a good choice for reflecting light.
5. Clean! Keeping fixtures, bulbs, and windows clean will let the light you do have shine its brightest!
What else have you found helpful in maximizing light in a light-challenged space?

Novell entered the appliance space yesterday, with the launch of an appliance-friendly version of SUSE Linux. Such an appliance-friendly operating system has been pre-configured for the application that will run on top of it - parts of the operating system that are not relevant to the application it is supposed to run are not included. The JeOS Novell will be launching is based on SLES 10 SP2, and will only include the parts necessary to allow it to boot; you can then load up the application, make a snapshot of the image, and distribute it as a VMware or Xen image. Friedman: "I meant what I said: The standalone operating system is dead and we really see the future of the server operating system as being embedded in appliances, so you'll see more from us on this topic."
For some reason, this reminds me a lot of the hype surrounding the Network Computer, a concept backed by Oracle, Sun, and Acorn back in the second half of the 1990s. A Network Computer was more or less a diskless node, following the Network Computer Reference Profile, which used network booting to pull its operating system from a server. Since they contained less hardware, they were supposed to be easier to maintain and cheaper to buy.
Oracle's CEO Larry Ellison had high hopes for the initiative, but it failed to live up to the expectations. PCs were coming down in price during those days, which meant that one of the advantages of the Network Computer slowly but surely eroded away. In addition, the internet was still too slow during those days (dialup, mostly), and as such, could not sustain the speeds needed to network boot operating systems and applications. These days, you can pick up diskless nodes and thin clients for relatively low prices, and they make good X terminals.
I am usually quite weary of claims about some concept's demise or death. They are usually made by people who actually have an interest in that concept's death, not by independent people. In any case, I'm not selling my operating systems just yet.

I made a awsome deck ( atleast i think)
I never Bin a experienced tourney player so i cant figure put how to score massive points
Also when i lose i sometimes get 0 or +- points :s
Anny advice on this 1?
_Solomon Titan TemplarZz ✠ Wednesday 13/03/2013, 13:42
So is it really true That 25 stars deck and 30 star decks doesnt make Anny diffrence annymore?
And if rated down my deck let me know why? Cant learn from it like this
Kungfu Sock Senior Wednesday 13/03/2013, 16:27
OK here's what you need to do: http://www.urban-rivals.com/en/help/?category=0 Go to game modes, then Daily Tournaments.
- The key to scoring massive points is play fast, play as many games a possible, ideally winning them.
- The Star count of your deck only really effect which opponents you face The lower your star count the lower your opponents and the same goes for the higher your star count, the higher your opponents.
- The reason you can get 0 or -BP is because you are using penalized cards, in your case:
Robb Cr = -5 points
Jackie Cr = -10 points
Oxen = -2 points
I would strongly advise you swap these out for other cards, note that Dorian, Zatman and Herman for Uppers and Lamar Cr and Striker for All Stars are all also penalized.
I do suggest you read the Game Mode rules on daily tournaments in the link provided, it tells you how the scoring system works along with the pairing system and all the penalized cards.
Hope this helps!
_Solomon Titan TemplarZz ✠ Wednesday 13/03/2013, 22:03

trip inspired me to make this week's Assignment about photographs taken in the mountains. Not everyone can go to Denali, but most of us have taken day hikes up into the mountains to get that rare and distinct perspective on the world. Send your best from up in the mountains.

Moyes blamed for Rooney saga
Jose Mourinho claims Chelsea made their move for Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney as he was no longer first choice.
Chelsea will return with a third bid for Rooney following Monday night's Barclays Premier League meeting between the sides, despite being told the striker is not for sale.
It was put to Mourinho that he will not be the most popular man at Old Trafford in a match where there is an opportunity to strike an early blow in the title race.
"Why? They are against me?" Mourinho said. "But I didn't say (to Rooney) you will be a second choice for me. And they are against me?
"We are trying to get a player that the manager told 'you will be a second option'. We are not going for (Robin) van Persie.
"They don't have to be against me. If I say Ramires is a second option for me and he plays when (Frank) Lampard is tired or injured, if somebody comes here to get Ramires, nobody is upset."
Asked if it is Moyes who is culpable for the Rooney situation, Mourinho said: "Of course."
If Mourinho, who expects to complete a deal for Willian imminently after hijacking Tottenham's move for the Anzhi Makhachkala forward, can prise Rooney from United by the September 2 close of the transfer window, it would be a significant coup.
But it would also lead to the departure of one of Chelsea's existing three strikers – Fernando Torres, Romelu Lukaku and Demba Ba.
Ba appears most likely to leave, even if only on a temporary basis.
Mourinho said: "I told the players that I want a squad of 22 (players).
"They are professionals. They want to stay. (But) they know that, if somebody's coming, it will be hard because, normally, somebody has to leave."
The arrival of Willian would also result in a departure, with Chelsea having a host of options for the three attacking midfield positions in which he is earmarked to play.
Victor Moses' place at Chelsea is most precarious.
Mourinho insists it is not solely his decision on who leaves, whether it is a striker or another forward.
He said: "This is not about choosing one to leave. It's to agree a situation.
"If a player does not want to leave, the player does not want to leave.
"But we are speaking hypothetically because maybe we don't get another striker and maybe we keep the three strikers we have."
It was put to Mourinho that Chelsea's last-gasp pursuit of Willian was designed to unsettle Spurs and was a personal vendetta between the Blues boss and his former staff member Andre Villas-Boas, now Tottenham boss.
"No, no way," Mourinho said. "Purely business."

ShowGirl: Ordering and FAQ
ShowGirl: Ordering and FAQ
Dakota, Are the wigs able to be straightened?
However to prolong the life of your ShowGirl:Wig- I would recommend always styling your wig by using steam
If you haven't done this before? You can find many tutorials on Youtube to get you started
Dakota, Where is the store located?
We dont actually have a store, If we were to have a physical bricks and mortar store - our prices would of course double - and that's something that we all dont want.
Dakota, what does the difference between your melbourne and backorder shipping times
Same day shipping, means that as long as you place your order prior to our 8am
cutoff - then your order will leave our warehouse that same day.
This is a lot different than "Same day delivery" which means that you would receive the order that same business day - it's not something that we can offer at this stage.
What we do have is the flexibility between having two warehouses, our new melbourne one and one of our backorder ones.
- If you order a wig from our melbourne warehouse - then your order will be sent from our warehouse in melbourne with AusPost Express.
- If you order a wig or a pair of shoes from our backorder warehouse - The wig will be sent to us from our backorder warehouse which does take 5 - 9 business days to arrive to us, we will then send the wig out to you with AusPost Express
You can find out which warehouse you are ordering from by checking:
- In the title
- In the description page
- Noted in your checkout page
Dakota, My wig doesnt fit / I can see my real hair
ShowGirls, We only sell a medium sized cap for our wigs. A medium sized cap in a perfect scenario will fit a head circumfrence of 22 - 24 inches ( With little to no hair).
If you are lucky enough to have longer hair - we suggest you pincurl your hair and use a actual stocking cap made for wigs. You may need to trim your sideburns back as well showgirls ( if you have them )
Dakota, Can I Cancel my order?
Dolls, please choose carefully when ordering, as we do not cancel orders once payment has been made
Dakota, I Have ordered the wrong wig/ I would like to exchange my wig?
We will happily exchange your ShowGirl:Wig - However we do have time limits. Those times limits are 24 hours after reciepted delivery. We take that time to being " Delivered, signed by xx" on the official AusPost Tracking Site.
To facilitate an exchange, you will need to send the wig back to us with a traceable postage service - we also suggest you purchasing insurance on that, as we will not accept responsibility on any lost parcels
We also do charge for new postage of the exchanged item out, which at the time of writing is $15. This covers the postage of the new wig out to you with AusPost using the Express Network.
Dakota, I want to return my wig for a refund
We do not refund orders because you have changed your mind, We however are governed by Australia's Consumer laws.
We will refund orders only if the return falls under an acceptable refund category - such as major fails ect ( Ordered a black wig, received a blonde wig)
What that does also state, that you cannot return a wig for refund because you believe that you are entitled to one
**Please also note that, although every effort is made to photograph items accurately and describe our products in detail, we cannot guarantee every computer monitor will accurately depict the actual colour of the shoes or wigs.**
For example: Dakota, I ordered Blonde 1001/613 and the wig is not blonde enough. I want a refund ECT
What I suggest before placing a order - is to check the pictures out on a alternate electronic device ( phone, laptop, ipad ect) as each monitor may have different graphical settings which can alter images. Do we remember the controversy over that: is it black and gold or blue and white dress saga?
Also we do take our photographs in a professional studio setting with artificial lighting.
Our images are not photo shopped, but also remember your personal surrounds will of course alter your color perception ( inside lighting, under hollagen lights, outside lighting)
Dakota, How Can I contact you?
Darling, I am always available to be contacted on the following channels
Facebook ( ShowGirlWigs )
Instagram ( @ShowGirlWigs )
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 03 9028 2040
