Like them or dislike them, you still have to agree TV commercials have become very creative, humorous, maybe even distasteful and controversial. But they do get our attention. Many of us wait with anticipation the week or two prior to the Super Bowl wondering what new commercial creations we will see on Super Sunday? If you fish or hunt you have to like the commercial where the hunter in blaze orange or the angler in chest waders (who generate the outdoors income through their license fees) is getting a big "hug" from the person enjoying Colorado's outdoors.
So what do you say is all this affection about? It's about dollars. Hunting and fishing license revenue and related outdoors activities income are the sole source of funds to support the expenses of the fishing and hunting operations on the wildlife side of the state parks and wildlife agency. The concern is the fact there has not been frequent enough fee increases to keep pace with inflation or growth in population utilizing Colorado's outdoors amenities. The results are underfunded fish and wildlife programs, where operating expenses and major capital improvements needs are growing faster than the revenue to support them.
As a practical matter, licenses fees are very moderately priced, too low to cover growing costs. One resident elk license, for example, is no greater than the cost of a tank of gas for CPW staffer. As a comparison, more pricey Bronco game day costs equal or exceed two years fishing in Colorado. A movie ticket and dinner evening out costs more than a resident Colorado deer license.
Let's look more closely at just what we are asking our fishing and hunting licenses dollars to support in terms of wildlife and habitat costs. Colorado Parks and Wildlife Maintain 19 fish hatcheries and annually stock 90 million cold water and warm water species; Wildlife staff support over 960 species of game and non-game birds and mammals; manage 28 small game hunting species and 10 big game species; oversee the nation's largest elk herd of 264,000 animals and must make sure these herds have adequate habitat and a healthy environment.
Hunting licenses have not been adjusted since 2006. Inflation alone has significantly limited growth in income to support fish and wildlife. When looking at all sources of income 62 percent comes from hunting and fishing license fees; 16 percent from Pittman-Robertson federal excise tax on hunting and fishing equipment specifically set aside for state fish and wildlife agencies; 12 percent from park and recreation related COGO funds, 4 percent grants and 4 percent personal and corporate donations and sales.
When business expenditures surpass income, when you have a growing population demanding these services, it becomes impossible to maintain even "current" level programs. Even after you are forced to cut 50 positions and reduce budgets by $40m (as DPW has done in the last 6 years) the business condition becomes critical. Yet that is what our fish and wildlife agency has lived with and continues to face each year.
Colorado has one of the most sought after fish and wildlife environments in the nation, yet it has one of the most understaffed and underfunded agencies attempting to provide the outdoors experience for its citizens. It is time for that to change. Colorado can do better!

(Debuted July 17, 1982, Peaked #32, 12 Weeks on the Chart)
Believe it or not, "Valley Girl" was the only Top 40 song Frank Zappa ever had. But judging from some of his better-known material, it really isn't hard to realize his better material wasn't exactly safe for radio consumption.
The voice in the song belongs to Zappa's 14 year-old daughter Moon Unit. During the song's time in the Top 40, Casey Kasem related a story about Zappa waking his daughter up in the middle of the night to record the vocals, but that ended up being debunked. While Zappa was working out the song, he gave his daughter an idea of what to say, and she mocked some of the girls from her school, using the "Val-Speak" slang they used.
A lot of listeners missed the point of the song, though. It should be little surprise that many listeners saw it as a novelty and missed Zappa's wry delivery of lines like "she's got a whole lot of nothing in there." Perhaps that was the point all along...

By Lance Fell, Project Spurs
Throughout the 2010 San Antonio Spurs playoff run, I will be keeping a close eye on Spurs' rookie DeJuan Blair. Basically documenting his first NBA playoff experience. I will be giving my thoughts on his performances in the post-season and seeing how he responds to the pressure. Enjoy!
The playoffs. What a great opportunity for young player to showcase their capabilities on the biggest stage and at the highest level. Scoring champion Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder played in his first playoff game on Sunday and finished with 24 points, and rookie Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks scored 34 points in his first post-season appearance. But the only player I was really looking forward to watching play in their first playoff game was Spurs' rookie DeJuan Blair.
However, unlike Jennings and Durant, who both played over 40 minutes in their first playoff game, Blair only played eight minutes, mainly coming in to give Tim Duncan a breather.
Blair's stat line: 7:56, 2-2 from the field, two rebounds (one offensive, one defensive), one assist, one blocked shot and four points.
His block was the only block of the game for the Silver and Black and noticeably his rebounds numbers were lacking. Again, mainly due to the lack of playing time.
He also had a tremendous dunk on Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki; however on the other end, he made a careless foul on Mavericks' Brendan Haywood which gave Haywood the "and 1."
With Tim Duncan playing over 40 minutes a game this postseason, it doesn't look like Blair will get a lot of minutes. Especially since Blair averaged nearly two turnovers a game in the regular season.

A.Word.A.Day--Socratic irony
Socratic irony (suh-KRAT-ic EYE-ruh-nee) noun
A profession of ignorance in a discussion in order to elicit clarity on a topic and expose misconception held by another.
[After Greek philosopher Socrates (470?-399 BCE).]
See more usage examples of socratic irony in Vocabulary.com's dictionary.
"John, who'd been sitting in a plastic waiting-room chair not saying a word, looked up, shrugged his shoulders and replied with an air of Socratic irony that he honestly didn't understand." Tristan Egolf; Lord of the Barnyard; Grove Press; 2000.
"Indeed, from one point of view, Socratic irony seems analogous to false speech, in the sense that it is not straightforward and direct." J. Peter Euben; Corrupting Youth; Princeton University Press; 1997.
This week's theme: eponyms.
It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets. -Voltaire, philosopher (1694-1778)

So, due to this weekend's "event", I was feeling weak and nauseous still until yesterday evening. I got a good start on my muslin by adjusting and cutting out all the pattern pieces. The next step is basting them together. I plan on doing a quick fit, and I am not taking the time to fully finish the yoke on both sides (one side will do for now). I'll have pics up as soon as I finish, but so far I like the results.
I still don't like doing a muslin, but I can see the

mappingmashups Mar 19, 2:27pm Next #geowebchat: Hackathons, mapping parties, #sheepcamp & more: the embodied ways the Geoweb gets made. Join us Tuesday 12pm PDT. Pls RT!
mappingmashups 8:40am Reminder: #geowebchat today 12p PDT, 3p EDT, 7p UTC. The embodied production of the geoweb: hackathons, mapping parties, drones, etc. Pls RT
geographiliac 10:43am looking forward to the #geowebchat at 3pm EST today (#sheepcamp, hackathons, maps, etc). Thanks @mappingmashups for organizing!
alogicalfallacy 11:49am @mappingmashups Ummm. what was the nice chat twitter ui you suggested last #geowebchat. I'm on a different computer without my bookmarks. :)
mappingmashups 11:57am @alogicalfallacy The slick web UI for following twitter chats is tweetchat.com: tweetchat.com/room/geowebchat #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:01pm Welcome everybody to #geowebchat! Today's topic: the embodied ways that the Geoweb gets made. Interpret this as broadly as you wish.
mappingmashups 12:02pm For example, we could continue talking debriefing the #IronSheep event and talk about the proposed #SheepCamp… #geowebchat
ajturner 12:02pm @mappingmashups peeking into the sausage factory? #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:03pm We could compare how the geoweb is produced in academia, in corporate settings, & in amateur neogeographer hackathons, etc… #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:03pm @ajturner it ain't pretty inside that factory… #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:04pm Sounds like Bruno Latour: the practice of science #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:04pm @ajturner And there are lots of overlapping factories at work, to stretch the metaphor. #geowebchat
ajturner 12:05pm @mappingmashups Art create ideas, Academia write citable research, hackathons demo concepts, corporations build products #geowebchat
alogicalfallacy 12:06pm @ajturner to take you at face value, what then is the significance of the geoweb in terms of creating new "moments" broadly? #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:07pm @ajturner Those roles sound neat and tidy! #geowebchat
wilsonism 12:07pm @ajturner Dibbs on 'ideas'. #geowebchat
USGSTNMRes 12:07pm Our modest experiment at USGS shows that volunteered info changes mapping practices and vice versa. Stay tuned #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:08pm all instances of geoweb have value, but this value isn't equally respected depending where you are coming from… #geowebchat
ajturner 12:08pm @alogicalfallacy I'm not sure I understand. the 'geoweb' doesn't create. isn't it a creation? what is the system boundary? #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:09pm @ajturner @mappingmashups are there any communication problems b/w those factories? Should they be communicating? #geowebchat
alogicalfallacy 12:09pm @ajturner 140 chars makes it hard. Roughly if art creates new ideas, and cartography is at least aesthetically influenced as art #geowebchat
alogicalfallacy 12:09pm @ajturner Then what role does the geoweb play in terms of presenting or creating new experiences (ala art)… sorry if confusing #geowebchat
JeremyCrampton 12:11pm I tend to see historically. The geoweb is our current instance of understanding the world geographically #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:11pm RT @ajturner: are coherency gaps. diff't venues, diff't languages, diff't intents. New, Unique, Cool, Profitable, respectively #geowebchat
USGSTNMRes 12:11pm Does instantaneous make a difference to the where? Just received from @sophiabliu notice of Mexico earthquake #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:13pm @ajturner @alogicalfallacy We create GIScience; GIScience has power of its own, eg, to create job openings, displ. restraints #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:14pm @USGSTNMRes Is the instantaneous an example of geoweb making itself, via algorithms, data feeds…? Stuff happens w/out human? #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:14pm How do we make Geoweb; how does it make us? #geowebchat
ajturner 12:14pm @re_sieber do you create GIScience, or or do you discover it? develop methodologies for discover? #geowebchat
wilsonism 12:15pm @re_sieber @ajturner I wonder if 'we've' already lost the keys to GISc. #geowebchat
alogicalfallacy 12:15pm @ajturner @re_sieber Doesn't it depend on how you approach it – either as art, science, or tool… re: GISscience #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:16pm @wilsonism @re_sieber @ajturner Did somebody else find the keys, or does nobody have them? #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:16pm @ajturner it is often in academic interest to create GIScience! Geoweb much more of a wild west that academics don't own (yet). #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:17pm @ajturner You definitely create it then it makes you eg, via purity tests: proper GIScientists don't code or make; they theorize #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:18pm @re_sieber @ajturner Not saying I like. I'd rather code, play #geowebchat
ajturner 12:18pm @re_sieber I've met many a GIScientist that is *trying* to create. Questionable endeavor #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:18pm @peterajohnson @ajturner Could turn this back to embodiment Q: does GISci require big hardware & labs that geoweb doesn't? #geowebchat
ajturner 12:19pm @peterajohnson you speak of "ownership"? #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:19pm @peterajohnson Like non CS, engineering academics will ever own the geoweb #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:19pm @re_sieber but coding doesn't pay the bills, given your current occupation… #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:20pm @re_sieber @ajturner Hmm… or maybe it's the "theory only" stance of proper GISci that is disembodied. #geowebchat
alogicalfallacy 12:20pm Can I ask "create what?" here. Lots of GIScientists "create", but do we mean specifically interactive or web utilities? curious. #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:21pm @mappingmashups @peterajohnson @ajturner does "geoweb" dumb down content b/c of lack of advanced geospatial capabilities? #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:21pm @ajturner I mean in an academic territory sense, not in an actually providing a useful service way…;) #geowebchat
ajturner 12:21pm @mappingmashups I liked your original question: how much of the geoweb actually occurs in 'meatspace' #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:22pm What are we talking ab creating here? The platform, the app, the content? A process? An idea? A well paid job? An IPO? #geowebchat
ajturner 12:23pm @peterajohnson then let's say a solid academic purview of the geoweb. seems that academics are trying to build and are too slow #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:23pm @alogicalfallacy So we're asking the same question #geowebchat
USGSTNMRes 12:23pm @mappingmashups stuff happens both with and without us. lesson of Zook & Graham digiplace #geowebchat
alogicalfallacy 12:24pm @re_sieber Exactly. What's being "created" goes a long way in determining the "who" as well as the degree of embodiment entailed #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:24pm @kg_geomapper but you can visualize the results of advanced analysis more elegantly with geoweb (often). and enable contribution #geowebchat
ajturner 12:24pm @kg_geomapper the geoweb makes information approachable. doesn't have to be "dumb". Emergent Interfaces #geowebchat
USGSTNMRes 12:25pm @ajturner I like Tobler's new 2nd law! spking of time, Geoweb has foregrounded this old concern into new urgency for GIScience #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:26pm @ajturner Maybe academics need diff style of meatspace teaching for geoweb? Are GIS-style labs relevant? Is #IronSheep more apt? #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:26pm @ajturner yes – let private sector push development and academics theorize over the implications. Essentially STS. #geowebchat
CraigMDalton 12:26pm #geowebchat that meatspace can make a huge difference: who owns/runs the servers and related terms of services.
re_sieber 12:27pm @alogicalfallacy Ironic, that we're talking ab disembodied practice when the thing is likely '1′s and '0′s. #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:27pm @mappingmashups I would love to test this. GIS curriculum is already packed, but we do students a disservice to leave geoweb out #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:28pm @CraigMDalton In addition to servers etc, for geoweb in particular who runs the sensors? An opening for DIY drones & balloons. #geowebchat
ajturner 12:29pm @peterajohnson @mappingmashups fortunately students are using geoweb on their own. but should teach tools to analyze and utilize #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:29pm @peterajohnson Geoweb becomes non-created in the current Intro GIS curriculum #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:29pm MT @peterajohnson: @mappingmashups GIS curriculum is already packed, but we do students a disservice to leave geoweb out #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:30pm @peterajohnson agreed. #geowebchat
ajturner 12:31pm @CraigMDalton there are a lot of sandboxes. GeoCommons et al. AppEngine, local coding #geowebchat
wilsonism 12:31pm We're teaching 'the geoweb' at the 100-level with a class called Digital Mapping. We use GeoCommons, @ajturner #geowebchat #digimap
mattdance 12:31pm But, students do not need geographers to learn the #geoweb. Self taught hackers, in comp sci, as part of start-up culture. #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:31pm @CraigMDalton I like the idea of a sandbox. sounds like a grt name for a fun open source-ish geoweb site for learning stuff #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:32pm @re_sieber plus there is plenty of opportunity to allow creation in classroom – maybe not in Intro, but project courses, etc. #geowebchat
ajturner 12:32pm @mattdance but imagine if you paired a techie geographer & map minded cs student. would be awesome #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:33pm @mattdance sure, but can't hurt to have formalized instruction. Could bring a lot of students in who would never code otherwise #geowebchat
mattdance 12:34pm Geography at UofA is weakest at #geoweb. #DH and compsci is where the cool action is. #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:35pm @peterajohnson @mattdance Maybe not many. My Geoweb course, which taught JS & Python only had 16 students #geowebchat
ajturner 12:35pm @kg_geomapper @CraigMDalton what about a GeoAcademy – ala CodeAcademy? #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:36pm @ajturner @kg_geomapper @CraigMDalton I'm first in line to beta test #geowebchat
mattdance 12:36pm @peterajohnson Yes agreed, but we are not the only game in town. Collaboration is more important! And understanding data #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:36pm @re_sieber first year offering it though…give it time. You need to make it a mandatory course for GISci option…oh the irony! #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:37pm @kg_geomapper @CraigMDalton If you like sandbox as a name, how about something kinda geo pun like "landbox"? Run with it! #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:37pm @re_sieber you need to be first in line to write the lessons! #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:39pm @ajturner @CraigMDalton @re_sieber that's *exactly* what I was thinking! (Code Academy) #geowebchat
CraigMDalton 12:39pm @peterajohnson @re_sieber #geowebchat would developing an initial curriculum be a good topic for sheepcamp?
re_sieber 12:39pm @peterajohnson I'm in. It's the future of GIScience (GIScience 2.0) #geowebchat
geographiliac 12:40pm @CraigMDalton, we are looking for suggestions for #sheepcamp(hi everybody!) #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:41pm Are we saying that ideal teams have 3 areas of expertise: some geo ppl, some CS ppl, & maybe some who are familiar w/ the data? #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:41pm @CraigMDalton sounds like a good idea – ambitious! #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:41pm @CraigMDalton @peterajohnson @re_sieber @geographiliac I think developing a curriculum at #sheepcamp is an excellent idea #geowebchat
geographiliac 12:42pm if you want to help us with adding your ideas to #sheepcamp, please fill out: tinyurl.com/sheepcampinter… #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:42pm @CraigMDalton @peterajohnson I'm happy to share my course material. But it's lots of browser/server/cloud side code instruction #geowebchat
jharpster 12:42pm Sweet. Are we talking about Paleo vs Neogeography again? #geowebchat
AndrewShears 12:42pm Seems like #geowebchat is a bit outside my depth today (as most things are)…. guess I'll just go back to making some crappy maps? ;-)
mappingmashups 12:42pm @jharpster Always. #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:44pm @mappingmashups @AndrewShears Are we neglecting the role of the map maker in making the geoweb? #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:45pm @AndrewShears You're exactly who we should engage: how do we get like-minded ppl with GIS skills to feel comfy doing geoweb? #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:45pm A curriculum for geoweb would be a great resource and hopefully something that could be commented/updated wiki-style #sheepcamp #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:46pm RT @AndrewShears: Perhaps the "art" in cARTography. So many web maps (& sadly, therefore mashups thereof) are just kinda crappy. #geowebchat
wilsonism 12:46pm +1 RT @peterajohnson: A curriculum for geoweb would be a great resource #sheepcamp #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:46pm RT @ajturner: @re_sieber 'map maker' is generic. That's like "someone that draws". Cartographer, Data Analyst, Programmer, etc? #geowebchat
peterajohnson 12:47pm @mappingmashups who cares about comfy, point is to step outside what you've always done and learn new skills #geowebchat
AndrewShears 12:48pm @mappingmashups For me, it would be nice to engage the geoweb without having to learn yet another f*cking coding language. #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:48pm Does anybody use stuff like Wikiversity for things like this? #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:50pm Oh, and can we make drones as part of the curriculum? Can we can we can we? #geowebchat
ajturner 12:50pm @AndrewShears @mappingmashups what programming languages/interfaces do you use now? #geowebchat
CraigMDalton 12:51pm @mappingmashups #geowebchat Drones as in sensors or drones as in bots?
geographiliac 12:51pm @mappingmashups ask @JeremyCrampton about those drones :) #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:51pm @mappingmashups Given wired.com/threatlevel/20… maybe we should make geosurveillance, inc drones, part of the curriculum #geowebchat
JeremyCrampton 12:51pm We'll have a drone here shortly! @mappingmashups #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:52pm @AndrewShears I feel similarly, but I am trying my best. Stick around. #geowebchat
AndrewShears 12:53pm @peterajohnson Disagree. I make decent maps + they're my artistic outlet. If 100+ hrs effort = coding fluency, not sure abt ROI. #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:53pm maybe the discomfort b/w GIScience and Geoweb is not completely understanding each other's "languages" – lots of jargon #geowebchat
mattzook 12:54pm #geowebchat and once again I show up an hour late…..damn
mappingmashups 12:54pm @CraigMDalton Drones as in bots with sensors. UAVs. #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 12:54pm not to mention feeling completely overwhelmed by all of the things I feel I need to know b/w the two. feels impossible #geowebchat
wilsonism 12:54pm #geowebchat
AndrewShears 12:54pm @ajturner @mappingmashups I've got HTML 5, CSS, PHP, and used to do some VBA and C++ (but that's long ago enough that it's gone) #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:54pm @CraigMDalton @mappingmashups Sensors (stationary and mobile) should be in curric. What ab harvesting realtime data? #geowebchat
wilsonism 12:55pm #geowebchat To get back to the convening question, on embodiment of the geoweb, I feel as though interrogations of the bodily …
AndrewShears 12:55pm Painful admission: I still haven't even started on Python. #GeoShame #GeoWebChat
mattzook 12:55pm #geowebchat while the geoweb is often self taught it doesn't mean that there can't be workshop style classes to work on topics together
wilsonism 12:56pm #geowebchat … in the geoweb take on (even) more importance, than perhaps in earlier disc. within GIS & Soc. The geoweb has/is a #body.
peterajohnson 12:56pm if anyone is seriously into drone purchase, check out @TerraPanLabs #geowebchat
ajturner 12:57pm @mattzook but not a dollar short #geowebchat
re_sieber 12:57pm @AndrewShears You'd like Python; it's brutally brief #geowebchat
mappingmashups 12:57pm @kg_geomapper @AndrewShears Let me know (DM if you prefer) any other topics you'd find more comfortable. Seeking balance. #geowebchat
ajturner 12:58pm @AndrewShears if you learned one more scripting language – suggest Javascript. Provides all the user interactivity. #geowebchat
mattzook 12:58pm #geowebchat I'm slowly learning the beauty of Ruby but don't want Perl to find out
peterajohnson 12:58pm @AndrewShears point isn't to require coding lang, you can do geoweb without code. Just a willingness to do maps different. #geowebchat
USGSTNMRes 12:59pm @wilsonism Pedagogy leads to embodiment viz Foucault #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 1:00pm @mappingmashups oh not looking to change entire content of #geowebchat. This is how I'm learning about it :) jumping in #geowebchat
peterajohnson 1:00pm @AndrewShears an Intro to GIS lab using @geocommons would be a good start for students. Could contrast well with trad GIS #geowebchat
AndrewShears 1:00pm Agreed! RT @kg_geomapper: oh not looking to change entire content of #geowebchat. This's how I'm learning about it :) jumping in #geowebchat
mattdance 1:01pm Future chat topic? RT @re_sieber: Sensors (stationary and mobile) should be in curric. What ab harvesting realtime data? #geowebchat
peterajohnson 1:01pm @kg_geomapper high profile examples such as Katrina, Haiti, Sudan, California wildfires certainly help #geowebchat
ajturner 1:01pm @wilsonism I think embodiment is entirely dependent on manifestation. Publication for policy decision or finding nearby pub? #geowebchat
geographiliac 1:02pm @kg_geomapper I happened across an article (not assigned for class) and got excited #geowebchat
glennon 1:03pm Am more interested in an enumeration of the questions a #geoweb approach can best answer, rather than curriculum development #geowebchat
AndrewShears 1:03pm @peterajohnson Sad thing: that was first time on @geocommons. Perhaps illustrative of the BIG gap y'all have been talking about. #geowebchat
mappingmashups 1:04pm Time to start wrapping up for this week. Next chats: Apr 3, 17, May 1, May 15. Same time: 3pm EDT (Note: UK will be on BST then) #geowebchat
wilsonism 1:04pm @ajturner Agreed. The body + technology + practice nexus. #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 1:04pm @geographiliac do you remember which article? For me it was at work, not school, where I got turned on; also wanting to create. #geowebchat
ajturner 1:05pm @glennon Are you interested more in the questions or the type of answers? #geowebchat
mappingmashups 1:05pm Thanks to all the chatters and lurkers! Topic suggestions always welcome. Also, I will need a guest host for May 1. Volunteers? #geowebchat
re_sieber 1:05pm @glennon But that could be good start for curric development #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 1:06pm @geographiliac – actually it was specifically at a keynote by matt ericson from NYTimes who spoke at a NYCArcUser Symposium #geowebchat
ajturner 1:07pm @glennon indeed, for devs it's often more interesting to devise solutions and forget the question :) #geowebchat
geographiliac 1:09pm Thanks @mappingmashups for organizing. Stay tuned for developments relating to #SheepCamp. Details:tinyurl.com/6pksgnk #geowebchat
mappingmashups 1:09pm Correction: Normal time is 12noon PDT, 3pm EDT (not 3pm PDT as I just tweeted). And that's 8pm BST. #geowebchat Thx @ajturner
geoparadigm 1:10pm Arrgh….missed #geowebchat
mappingmashups 1:10pm RT @map_maker: I feel like I need to respond. I am a map maker as I am not a cartographer or anything else. I'm not specialised. #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 1:10pm @ajturner @glennon I think for a lot of people it's easy to forget about the question and go straight to a solution #geowebchat
kg_geomapper 1:11pm @mappingmashups thanks, again. this hour goes by incredibly fast #geowebchat

Five Reasons to say NO to a job:
1) When you have questions about the people. Life and work is all about people! if you have any questions about the boss or the crew that can't be resolved— whether it's trust or personality issues— you should consider saying NO. Working with the wrong people will make you unhappy a lot faster than doing work you don't like. Remember the old adage: When you lie down with dogs you should expect to get fleas! The opposite is also true: working with good people, you can always learn something!
2) When You don't have a well-defined title, position, responisbilities, compensation or command structure. If these elemts are not clear before you take the job you're putting yourself into a situation where your success can never be evlauated fairly and/or where you can be jerked around by any number of people. If you're just starting out, have no skills and know nothing, you may not have much to lose and a lot to gain. But for anyone else this could be the bedrock for a bad experience. Always get the details and make a deal you can live with — up front!
3) When you can't do a good job. Life is short and these days, so are jobs! Every job is a stepping stone to a better job, hopefully with more money! Why take a job where you're not confident you can ACE it? if they're offering on-the-job training that may be different, otherwise they're hiring you do be really good at somthing! If you don't think you can measure up, refer them to someone who can. You'll be respected by the employer for your honesty and committment to provide quality services. Equally as important, you will have left the door open for the future.
4) When you would be settling for something less in a growing market. This is a tough one, since no one likes to turn down work. however there are times when you feel there's other opportunities or better circumstances just around the corner. If a job is below you— in standards, prestige or pay— you may grow unhappy quickly and do a lousy job or develop a lousy attitude. Neither is good for you or your reputation.
5) When you've made a commitment you can't or shouldn't break. Sometimes a better offer comes along just a little too late. Depending at what stage of your committment you are at, it may not be a good idea to even try to get out of it. Certainly, at the very least you should find a way to replace yourself with someone equal or better than you to fullfill your committment to the first employer— with no downside for them. Be very careful, however! Even if you don't leave them in the lurch, this will likely leave a very bad taste in their mouth. The result could be a serious ding to your reputation. The better course is to refer someone you trust to take the new employment offer. Even if your referral isn't hired they'll appreciate the favor.

The Takeover Panel is not for turning. The private equity lobby protested but the takeover code reforms will be adopted, including the controversial requirement to "put up or shut up" within 28 days of a bid approach. That's not long enough to get financing arrangements in place, pleaded the bidders' lobby. Tough: you shouldn't have abused the old rules by dragging out these bids over months. Reform is welcome.
Tougher rules on takeovers welcome
The private equity lobby protests that bidders won't have enough time to get financing in place. Their fault for abusing the old rules

2 Ways to Help get Ron Paul TV ads on the air in Iowa and New Hampshire
1.I will donate FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS to get Ron Paul's message on the airwaves in Iowa and New Hampshire if 160 of you donate at LEAST $100 each. I'm putting up 50 times the amount I'm asking each of you to donate. This is because I love freedom and I love Ron Paul. If the mainstream media refuses to cover Paul, WE WILL. We will bombard the state of New Hampshire with Ron Paul's freedom-loving message. We will re-target Iowa (if Ron Paul received 9.1% of the vote in Ames after campaigning in Iowa for just ONE WEEK, think what we can do in Iowa and New Hampshire in two or three MONTHS). Go pledge now
2.Operation New Hampshire is a project of Americans United for Freedom PAC, a single candidate Political Action Committee registered with the FEC. Since we're a PAC, we're independent from the Ron Paul campaign and are run by the grassroots. Individuals can donate up to $5,000 per election cycle to the PAC to support our efforts to get Ron Paul ads on TV. All money we raise goes straight to TV airtime; none of it goes to administrative, etc. costs.On the left hand side, click on the "ChipIn!" button to donate.

The first one in this post is from Andrew Rowe:
I attended TPHS from 1960 to 1961, in classes 2C and 3C, and successfully completed the Intermediate Certificate, then I moved to Coffs Harbour where I completed the NSW Leaving Certificate at Coffs Harbour High School in 1963.
I subsequently returned to Canberra in late 1963 and have lived here ever since. I joined the Commonwealth Department of Customs & Excise where I worked for 20 years. While working in Customs, I undertook a Bachelor of Arts in Administration degree part time at the then Canberra College of Advanced Education.
After Customs I worked with the Department of Industry and Commerce for four years and then transferred to the ACT Government where I worked for 14 years, mainly in the Registrar-General's Office where I occupied the position of Manager, Business Names & Associations. I retired from the workforce in 2001.
I married Christina in 1975, we now live in Florey and we have three sons Ross (34), Ian (32) and Richard (30). Ross is an Information technology contractor, Ian is a solicitor and Richard is a financial analyst with the Commonwealth Grants Commission. We also have four grandchildren.
I always regarded TPHS as easily the best school I attended.
Since retirement, Christina and I have done some travelling both locally and overseas and I'm a keen lawn bowler.
and here is David Hoffman's BIO:
After leaving TPHS, I did an Arts(Hons) degree at the ANU, spending the last three years at Bruce Hall, where I learnt to play bridge, and improved my billiards skills.
On graduating, I joined the Department of Mathematics, UNSW at the Royal Military College, Duntroon.
When the Australian Defence Force Academy opened in 1984, I transferred to the School of Computer Science, UNSW. During the time there I had a stint as Head of School.
In the early 1970s I joined the Australian Society for Operations Research, for which I had a period as President of the ACT Chapter, and was for 11 years the editor of the Society's Bulletin, for which I was granted honorary life membership.
Resigning from academia in 2000, I then worked for 7 years as Principal Operational Analyst for the largest gun running company in Australia, ADI, now known as Thales Australia, best known as the supplier of the Bushmaster vehicle, used with success in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Subsequently I have consulted with my old university, providing courseware and courses.
On the sporting and recreational arena, I played comp tennis and squash until my back went, then took up orienteering (otherwise known as cunning running, although if nobody is around it is more like walking), and am now seriously trying to reduce my golf handicap as a C grade golfer.
However my main activity has been bridge, representing Australia at world championships on and off since 1971, and winning a number of Australian championships for the ACT. I am also currently Immediate Past President of the Canberra Bridge Club.
Somewhere in between Julia and I have raised a pigeon pair, each of whom has also produced a pigeon pair. Fortunately they all live in Sydney, close enough to enjoy, but far enough away not to tie us down.

The Central Information Commission (CIC), a government of India authorised body set up under the Right to information Act (RTI), has directed the Union Health ministry to stop institutes from giving out fake MBBS degrees.
The CIC during a hearing took cognisance of quacks using fake MBBS degrees from an illegal institute and has asked the Health ministry to take required action through the Medical Council of India(MCI) -- the country's medical education regulator -- as the practice poses serious public threat, The Press Trust of India reports.
The MCI, which had registered the complaint with CIC, produced certain documents before Information Commisioner Yashovardhan Azad and pulled up an an institute by the name of Indian Board of Alternative Medicine, which has no official or legal sanctity and yet has been giving fake degrees for practice.
Azad, while describing the matter as truly alarming, said that public health is at high risk due to such fake medical practitioners who have no proper knowledge or training to render medical assistance.
"In view of the seriousness of the issue, the Commission is of the considered opinion that a copy of this order may be sent to the Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to take immediate action through the MCI to curb this practice which is posing a threat to public health," he said.
The practice of issuing fake medical degrees by quacks in not new to India.
In 2011, the Delhi Medical Council conducted raids in the national capital, which put a 90-year-old Delhi man Balwant Rai Arora under scanner for allegedly selling 50,000 fake medical degrees issued by a fictitious university, according to India today. Arora was sentenced to seven years in jail after his arrest by Delhi Police in 2000 (he had reportedly given out 40,000 fake degrees since 1995).
On Aug. 12, 2015, the Maharashtra Medical council summoned 23 doctors from Mumbai for practising with fake degrees, the Daily News And Analysis reports.
The MCI on June 29, 2015 observed that five faculty members had submitted fake experience certificates in the application to set up a new medical college by the name of Rajiv Memorial Academic Welfare Society at Akbarpur in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, The New India Express reports.
The MCI also found out that nine faculty members had submitted fake certificates with the application for establishment of a new medical college by the name of Puran Chand Dharmarth Trust in Kaithal district of Haryana.
The MCI decided to apply Clause 8(3)(1)(d) of Establishment of Medical College Regulation Amendment, 2010 (part II), April 16, 2010 while considering the applications for new medical colleges.
As per the clause (d), if any institute is found to have employed a teacher with fake/forged documents and submitted the declaration form of such a teacher, such an institute will not be considered for renewal of permission/recognition for award of MBBS degree/processing the applications for post-graduate courses for two years-- the current academic year and the following one.

Apparently so is lavender and neon green, or so say the experts at Sherwin-Williams.
I had coffee today with a friend whom I met the way that many 40-somethings meet new friends – soccer. I am totally not a soccer (step) mom, but we did make the kids do it for a few seasons and I met Noelle on the sidelines. Anyway, Noelle owns the design firm True Interiors, and she recently went to a La-di-da luncheon put on by the paint people who shared the color trends for 2013.
Predicting color trends is fascinating to me, and at some point we may have to dive deeper in to the sociology of it. But for today I thought I'd share the four palettes and Noelle's and my insightful comments.
Midnight Mystery (or as we called it: Modern Gothic)
Dark, moody colors, gothic-y Victorian aesthetic, industrial touches like exposed workings. Think Robert Downey Junior's Sherlock Holmes (swoon) or the recent Batman. Apparently it's also inspired by Steampunk, which I had to look up.
Vintage Moxie (Noelle says think "Austin Powers")
Mid-century pastels like lavender, mint and aqua. Much softer and more feminine than the Midnight Mystery palette, but not wimpy. Some of you guys might have trouble with this one, but I think you could put Darkroom, Independent Gold and Radiant Lilac together and have a slammin' bachelor pad.
High Voltage (or super-saturated neons)
Bam! No pansy colors here. Well actually pansies are kind of bright really, but you know what I mean. Electric Lime, Exuberant Pink, Calypso. Noelle mentioned that she'd found this super-cool electroluminescent wire that she wanted to use in her son's room to spell out his name. It would be perfect for this color scheme. It is also great for "raves" according to the website. You know you're planning one.
Honed Vitality (this season's "nature" palette; more sunset than forest)
I'm sure the Sherwin-Williams people would tell me I'm wrong, but this reminds me of the southwestern phase we went through in the '80s (when I say "we" I mean "some people", of course I was quite young in the '80's). Sandy, rusty, warm colors with pops of sky blue. Meant to be quiet and restful to help us calm down from our busy lives.
Apparently Green is Not the New Black
All pretty interesting, but here's my problem; where's the green? Sure, each one has some nod to green, but it's really just a very slight inclination of the head, the sort of acknowledgement you'd give to a blackjack dealer if you wanted more cards and you were terribly cool. Green is my favorite color, and none of these do it for me. Give me some emerald, sage, avocado or forest, please. Even a teal would do. It looks like I will have to stay behind the curve for one more year.
So tell us, what's your favorite?
P.S. Here are a couple of fun projects from Noelle. The headboard is made from old shutters salvaged for $16 at the Habitat Re-Store; the wall design is made from large upholstery tacks. Brilliant!
P.S.S. Since this post is about color, I'd just like to say that we should all start spelling it the British way: colour. It is so much better. But I'll look pretentious if I'm the only Yank doing it, so I need you all to help me out here.

ACADEMY Messerschmitt Me-163B/S - 1/72 scale
Retail price: $9.50 US
When I was offered the opportunity to do a review of ACADEMY's new Me-163B/S in 1/72 scale, I was glad the offerer was four states away, or I may have bit his arm going for this morsel. First: no, it is not a rehashed Heller mold, but I understand the old 1/48 TriMaster molds were scaled down to 1/72 and this is all to the benefit of the modeler. The kit is beautiful and it offers a somewhat simple "Scheuschlepper" tow tractor like the Heller kit. Although as simple as Heller's tow tractor, the molds are better. Let's take an eye walk through the sprues and you will see what a neat little package this kit is.
Sprue A:
This contains the wings, landing skid, and dolly pieces, both cockpit tubs, cockpit bulkheads, control sticks, and separate wing slats, that helps render the actual slats better than engraving could have. The molds are shiny and sharp with excellent engravings that would rival any Hase-miya-miniatures kit. Beautiful work!
Sprue B:
This contains the fuselage halves, which are split top and bottom. This will also relieve sanding, as there are fewer seams to sand and it makes building either the B or S version a snap. Also included are the tailplane/rear fuselage halves, instrument panels, seats, dolly wheels, two different tailwheels, and the rocket nozzle.
Sprue C:
These are the parts that make up the "Scheuschlepper" tow tractor. That's not a sink hold in the underbody piece, merely a shadow.
Sprue D:
Sprue D contains the clear pieces that make up both glazings and the armored glass shield. The clear parts are very thin and crystal clear..
Decals look to be of very good color density and registration, but there are no swastikas, so you have to hit the spares or the aftermarket.
The instructions are the usual Hasegawa copy that ACADEMY use and are very good. I have no idea whose paint codes are used, but assume it is Gunze. The paint color is also called out by name, so the modeler should have no problem finding the proper color.
I can't wait to get started, this kit far exceeds the old Heller example. As far as complaints, my only two would be the exclusion of swastika and seat belt decals found in previous ACADEMY kits. My thanks go out to Greg Katnik of IPMS/USA for supplying this beauty for a review. I would have purchased this kit and will get another at the low cost they sell for. Highly recommended for all ages of modelers. Stay tuned for a review in a few weeks.

With the HTC Sensation we're given our first look at the new version of the Taiwanese brand's overlay to Android. Running Android 2.3.3, the Sensation is perfectly up to date with the most recent version of Google's OS, and the new Sense 3.0 iteration is the next step forward for a user interface.
The main thing most HTC fans will notice is the new 3D scrolling - flicking through the many home screens will now see each one rotating around a virtual cylinder, rather than bouncing left and right in a linear fashion.
The widgets will even expand inwards and outwards to add to the effect, and really works to show off the dual-core nature of the 1.2GHz processor under the hood.
In standard HTC style, the Sensation reacts instantly under the finger - we're not talking Nokia N8 levels of swiping and waiting here, the capacitive touchscreen leaps to do your bidding in nearly every scenario.
The lock screen has also been given a massive overhaul too - instead of dragging a bar upwards to open up the phone, you have a large ring to swipe upwards to get started.
But it's not just that - there are four application spaces to drop your favourite functions into, and you can drag these into the ring to jump into them instead of starting up in the home screen. This is brilliant for things like the camera (as there's no dedicated button) so you can start snapping as fast as you can.
It's not a perfect system though - we had a few instances where we couldn't get the ring to slide fully up with our touch, meaning we had to have multiple attempts to simply get into the phone.
The other annoyance is notifications - if you have a message or missed call, it shows in a big pop-up at the centre of the lock screen, which is cool. But you can't drag this into the ring to jump straight to the notification unless you have the phone or message application selected as one of your quick links - seems like a missed trick from HTC.
The drag-down notification bar, which is present throughout the phone and one of the key pieces of the Android OS, has been given another makeover by HTC compared to the likes of the Desire (although we've already seen the upgraded functionality on the Desire S).
This means you can drag it down to see emails, messages and application notifications, but also see a scrolling list of the most recently used applications in a sliding bar and access the music player controls if you've got some tunes playing.
However, there's also a little tab at the bottom to let you control oft-used elements of the phone - we're talking Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc all toggle-able with the touch of a check box. It's a little convoluted to get into (we prefer the Samsung TouchWiz version, where these controls are at the top of the drag down menu) but it's great to be able to activate Bluetooth without having to open Settings.
There's clearly been a great deal of effort made with the HTC Sense 3.0 user interface, and it shows - it's not as snappy as the Samsung Galaxy S2, but it's unflappable and we found very little slowdown throughout. If you're upgrading from another HTC Device, this is Sense on a whole new level.

In this town
pot's the #1 cash crop
and it's cheaper
than Camels
the local headshop
does good business
in rolling papers
passed down
through generations
the art
of the perfect joint
but when the outsiders
move in
the locals
still themselves
like the Shenandoah

The Executioner's Sword
The Nglala in Zaire
would tie the prisoner with hemp
to a bent tree. Stretched.
One clean blow. The head flew
one way, the body another,
perhaps to keep the soul
from remaining with either.
The blood is not cleaned
from the blade. It is a badge
of honor. The layers, dried,
thicken and dull. Only the best
executioners can sever a head
with one blow from a thick sword.
Imminent Hard Drive Failure
Sixteen monkeys flew
against the windows,
pigs on leashes behind.
You ordered another bag
of peanuts. Your eyes closed
but the sun's glare
off the wing had burned the images
into your retinas, too.
If only monkeys looked more
like Celine Dion, say.

I have caught my husband (age 56) of 11 years in compromising situations with other women on two different occassions. I have no self confidence or self esteem on a personal level I let men walk all over me and treat me like I am dirt under their feet and that I\'m not on the same level. I have an above normal sexual appetite and my husband likes to withhold sex when we argue I end up begging for him to touch me and have intercourse and he will sit back and laugh telling me how much he hates and dispises me then he will just go to bed. The next morning when I ask him how he could have no regard for my feelings or desires he says he doesn\'t have any idea what I\'m talking about. Could you help me understand why I feel I deserve this type of relationship?

Samuel Eliot Morison (1887-1976)
Samuel Eliot Morison was a well known historian who specialized in American and maritime history. He was born in 1887 in Boston. He earned his AB and PhD from Harvard University in 1908 and 1912, respectively. After earning his doctorate, Morison taught at a number of schools before becoming a full professor at Harvard in 1925, where he was appointed the Jonathan Trumbull Professor of American History. Morison retired from the University in 1955 but continued to research and write books.
An avid sailor, much of Morison's work focuses on America's maritime history. During World War II, Morison was commissioned a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy Reserve to document the role of the Navy in the conflict. Morison visited the sites of each of the major naval campaigns and actions during the war to gather documentation and interview participants for his 15-volume History of United States Naval Operations in World War II and the single-volume The Two Ocean War. For his service, Morison eventually attained the rank of Rear Admiral.
Morison is also known for writing accessible general histories on the United States and key figures in her story. Morison earned numerous awards and honors for his work, including two Pulitzer Prizes, two Bancroft Prizes, and the 1964 Presidential Medal of Freedom. In the last public appearance before his death, Morison cut the ribbon to open the USS Constitution Museum on April 8, 1976. The Museum's research library and an annual award given by the Museum for scholarship in history are both named in his honor. Morison passed away on May 15, 1976.
Samuel Eliot Morison's Remarks at the Opening of the USS Constitution Museum
"United States Ship, Constitution, preserved through the efforts of the people of the United States and the Navy, is now here in all her pristine beauty and charm and color and she is now given a new lease on life by having this Museum created in her honor. Here will be assembled all the memorabilia that used to clutter her twin decks. Here, I hope you may follow the example of the National Maritime Museum of Greenwich, right slap on the prime meridian, in having special exhibits of the great days of sail and exposing, through sale, books in print on the Constitutionand the American sail matters. For the Constitution's integral part of our country, her preservation assures that as long as we prize valor and maintain a fighting Navy, as long as our eyes dance to see that banner in the skies, we should be a strong, powerful and free nation."

Glass door cutouts in slab doors8/27
We make mostly slab doors in textured melamine scans acrylic veneers and and are getting more requests for glass inserts on some of the doors. We are presently setting our rip fence on saw at 2.25 and carefully plunge cutting into finished door and cutting almost up to corner so as not to over cut the corner on the bottom. Then we use a fein multi master with sharp blade to finish the cut to get a square inside corner. It works well with no chipping and then we band the inside with a matching banding with contact cement and then use a router to make the glass rabbet in back.we do not presently have any CNC. We cannot make a 4 piece miter door as there is often grain that has to be matched, so making a mite red door and then laminating front and back won't work. This takes a lot of time, which we do charge a premium for, but would like to find a faster system. Any help would be appreciated. Harold.
I would think that a router and a template would be much quicker, just square up the corners, or not.
I wouldn't even worry about squaring up the corners. Jig and router with a spiral bit would be my way to go. You could even go back over it with a smaller router bit to lessen the rounded corners.
I agree with you both that the router route is the easiest although we will have to square the corners. I will try my Stanley square inside corner punch with door clamped to a good backer to make sure it doesn't tear out the acrylic. Have been looking at some tabletop cnc's in the 2k range to see if these machines could do it faster. With different width doors in a kitchen, I guess we can start with the biggest door and make a 2.5 frame that we double tape to the face of the door and first rough cut out the opening with a jig saw to within 1/4" and then use the router table with a long hearing but to follow the pattern, then reducevthevopening for each set of narrower doors,. Thanks again for your help. Harold.
We get this request sometimes. We will order a slab front cut for glass in RTF with a 1/16 radius on the edge. Matches the slab well and takes no time to do. Downside is there isn't always a foil match
Hello, Just saw a video of a handheld cnc router, looks like it might work for your doors. I believe it was shaper origin cnc.
Well, my cabinetmaker decided to make the cutout on the saw. 15 doors took him less than an hour. Small over cut in corners is eliminated by rabbet for glass. No router set up or dust and the corners are square to band. Thanks to all.

WhoWhatWhy.org published a news story (HERE) earlier today about a Watertown police officer who may have let Jahar escape. Reporter Joanne Potter obtained a document with a header from Watertown Police Department and the Bureau Administrative Services that narrates some of the events that transpired after the Laurel Street shootout. Included is one fun fact we've never heard before.
According to the document, after Jahar ran over his brother and fled from police in Dun Meng's Mercedes SUV, Officer Jean Sarkissian attempted to chase him on foot up Spruce Street. He's not the only one we heard about that supposedly followed, or was told to follow, the fleeing suspect. If you recall Trooper Christopher Dumont's account in the 45th Annual Massachusetts Italian American Police Officers Association Awards Banquet, October 19th, 2013 program, you'll remember he directed a cruiser to follow Jahar. Boston Police Gang Unit Officers Scott Pulchansing and Officer Sean McCarthy were advised by Dumont, "to pursue it [the SUV]." I don't recall hearing anything more about it but maybe we'll get lucky and they'll testify this week said the prosecution never.
Now here's where it gets really interesting. The Watertown Police Department document also states that "Officer John St. Onge, who was off-duty and at home when he heard radio transmissions of the shooting, was responding to the scene from his home and in his personal car traveling Easterly on Spruce Street when his car approached the fleeing Mercedes head-on. The road was too narrow for the Mercedes to go around Officer St. Onge's vehicle so Dzhokhar exited the Mercedes and ran on foot through residential yards."
Yeaaaah. That just happened.
So is this legit or is WhoWhatWhy.com just throwing out some garbage?
Let's go to the police tapes. Admittedly this is a pretty bad copy of Watertown's police radio from that night but if anyone can find another one – from Watertown, not Boston, not Cambridge, not blah, blah, blah – let me know.
Here's the link → Soundcloud
8:30 First mention of Spruce.
8:55 You hear them say Spruce and Lincoln, Spruce and Lincoln. Then dispatch says, "Spruce and Lincoln, pinned down. Spruce and Lincoln."
Here's a better recording of the "Spruce and Lincoln, pinned down" part → HERE (15:44 mark) Keep listening. An officer calls out on radio that the office was pinned down by the vehicle. I mean, what?
At around the 9:05-9:06 mark you hear dispatch say that the suspect has fled the vehicle and "in the backyards now." Now how would they know the suspect was in the backyard? Hmm. Did St. Onge tell them? Yeah. That's my guess.
If you go to the 11:17 – 11:19 mark, you'll hear an officer say he's with three officers, one is St. Onge.
At the 11:41 you hear someone call out, "Do you have units with you?" An officer replies that he has St. Onge with him along with other officers and state police.
So was Watertown officer St. Onge at the scene? He sure was. Was he one of the few Watertown officers on scene that didn't receive an award from that night? I don't know but it appears that way. And let's think about why exactly St. Onge watched Jahar exit the vehicle and run away. I mean, Jahar wasn't armed and I'm assuming St. Onge was so what's the problem? And who was pinning him down? Just the vehicle? From what we learned from testimony today, Jahar was injured when he got out of the Mercedes. He was bleeding. He walked through the neighborhood, broke into someone's home, used their bathroom (allegedly), hopped in a boat and the police didn't notice this? Well, they probably didn't notice because Franklin wasn't part of the perimeter.
Wouldn't you think then that St. Onge could have shown his fellow officers the correct direction in which Jahar fled? Apparently not. Nice.
If anyone's familiar with the Madarati case, they're familiar with St. Onge. But that's for another day.
And why didn't Jahar just turn left and keep going? Why stop? And if he stopped in front of an armed, off-duty police officer, why run? It was yet another opportunity for Jahar to seek the martydom that prosecutors say he craved.
More unanswered questions.
Wow. Just wow.

Today, we are going to find out another interesting usage or application of our iPhone or iPod Touch. You will be amazed after you go through this article that how amazing this piece of technology is!
We are going to find out how we can use our iPhone and iPod Touch as a remote control! The iPhone or iPod can be used as a remote control for Boxee. Let us find out more on this topic.
What is Boxee?
This is a very good way to watch Television shows and movies and other videos from the internet on the Television. Purchase a device powered by Boxee or make one for yourself using a computer. Another interesting piece of information is that Boxee plays most file formats, so everything that can be seen on the PC can be seen on the Boxee.
Also, the Boxee Box D-Link has more than double resolution as compared to Apple TV. This allows experiencing full HD of 1080 pixels, making the High Definition Television watching simply worth it. So Boxee is far better than other Internet TV like Apple and Google TV.
Having a Wi-Fi connection will help you use your iPhone or iPod as a remote control. In comparison to the shabby appearance and maneuvering of a mouse and keyboard, this is a great alternative.
Requirements to use iPhone/iPod as Boxee Remote Control
Wireless Network is the first and most important requirement. Boxee Remote control application is supported by OS X 10.4 or advanced versions, Windows XP, vista and Windows 7 are also the supporters. All major Linux distributions also support this application.
How to use Boxee Remote Control Apps?
This application comes for free so download the Boxee Remote Control application from the Application store and install it on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
After the download just check whether you have a Boxee running on your PC as well. Make sure that the Boxee version on your PC is a recent one.
The version can be checked by going to Settings > General. Also check if the Web Server is enabled on port 8800. This can be done by going to Settings > Network > Servers. Run the Boxee on the PC first and then try to connect via the iPhone/ iPod Touch. There is a Web server password that needs to be entered first, do not get confused with the Boxee password.
Click on the Boxee icon and open it. The first time this application is tapped it will give information of the two modes that are available.
The first is Button mode and other is Gesture mode. The Button mode is quite understood and self – explanatory, very similar to a regular remote.
The Buttons on the iPhone/iPod Touch correspond to each action. In the Gesture mode you will have to hold on to the thumb and move it around or drag to navigate.
If you click on the Boxee logo than it means to Select, Play or Pause. To open up a QWERTY keypad click on an input field which will pop up wherever there is need to write.

This mode works actually very similar to a touchpad or a trackball. While dragging the Boxee logo turns red.
There is a Settings option that allows you to manually adjust the sensitivity of every movement or controls, you can add or delete a host computer with this option too.
Also there will be an onscreen volume slider control while watching a movie along with a Stop and Pause option.

We know that people who love movies also love travel, good beer, tasty food, cool clothes and keeping up with the weirdest, craziest corners of pop culture. From cult classics to new blockbusters, from the latest TV shows to this week's comic books, from the BBQ to the brew pub, B.M.D. is there to find the treasures, even - especially! - in trash.
What does Birth.Movies.Death. mean? It means you are born, you die and in between you go to the movies. It's a name that reflects the centrality of movies in our experience, in our lives. And it reflects the fact that the movies contain and comment on everything about life itself.
Birth.Movies.Death., it's more than a film site, it's a guide to life.

What a beautiful day! Yes, I know, it was rainy and wet... but 55-60 degrees all day! Once I solved my wardrobe malfunction (stupid stretching shirt), I felt cute today (not a very frequent occurrence lately). I had a couple good conversations with some people.
And spring break is FRIDAY!!! And, I'm not driving, I'm riding the bus. All I've got left to do is finish 2 creative writing projects and write a response paper. Once I've done that and packed my duffel bag, I'm good to go. And boy am I pumped. Really... I've wanted to go every year, and this is the first time I actually get to go!
Oh, and I'm Michelle's ditziest friend, according to her survey, "but in a fun way, not a stupid way"
Well, I can no longer justify procrastination, so I'm off to be a good little college student. Good night!!!

It's part of the Creator's Corner site, a special page within YouTube designed to be an all-in-one resource for budding video artistes.
Put another way: if the Biz Blog is for finance majors, the developer blog is for engineers, Citizentube is for the poli-sci kids, and the main blog is for the entire student body, then this blog represents the voice and talents of anyone who a creative bone in his or her body. These people take risks, they explore, they make videos that dazzle the eye and rattle the mind.
Of course, not everything needs to be earth-shattering to be covered here. Often, some very powerful videos are quiet or simple.

You just need a spark of inspiration and the will to see it through.
This blog's goal is to help ignite that spark by celebrating the incredible talents of the YouTube community.

Diskeeper's Toumayan Discusses Defragmentation
SIP Trunking Report Contributing Editor

At the Interop 2010 show in Las Vegas, TMC's Erik Linask had a chance to interview Diskeeper's Colleen Toumayan, Director of Public Relations.
The company's been around for 25 years or so, you might remember their product, the first automatic defragmenter for Windows. This reporter sure does.
Toumayan said that the company's helped Microsoft develop the API hooks that even allow defragmentation to take place at all. She said that Diskeeper "actually, really revolutionized the market. We've been the first to market with many new technologies in the defrag space, and now we have a new technology called IntelliWrite, which can actually prevent up to 85 percent of fragmentation from happening."
In other words, as Linask says, "pre-emptive defrag." Toumayan agreed, saying it's accomplished by using a system driver, "so when you're writing the files to the disk, it's writing them in a non-fragmented state."
The benefits of defragmentation, as well as preventive defragging, she contended, include actually helping the computer last longer, as well as improving system performance and the user experience, "and also, energy efficiency."
Linask then put the question that's on the mind of every casual computer user who's ever run the defrag on their Windows machine - "What causes fragmentation?" Toumayan explained that during the normal use of the computer, writing things to the disk and saving things to disk, "it just becomes fragmented." She likened it to trying to keep paper files in order.
The company has also released a product called Velocity recently, "that's for virtual systems," and noted that they're looking at a product for VM ware "later this year."
