OCEAN CITY — Resort residents visiting Sunfest this weekend will likely be asked to sign a petition to change the city charter to allow for a mechanism to remove Mayor and Council members from office.
The Ocean City lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) has decided to spearhead the ground effort in collecting signatures for the petition to referendum, hoping to get the charter amendment resolution on next October's ballot.
Although this weekend will kick off the effort in earnest, FOP members attended Monday's Mayor and Council meeting and obtained some signatures, including those of Council members Doug Cymek and Mary Knight.
To be a success and place the matter before city-wide voters in the October 2012 election, 20 percent of the registered voters must sign the petition. That would mean 1,310 valid signatures would be needed, based on the October of 2010 voter rolls being 6,551.
If that signature limit is reached and the referendum is passed next October, the proposed charter amendment calls for the allowance of, "A petition requesting the removal from office of the Mayor and Councilmember(s) signed by persons qualified to vote in Town elections equal in number to at least thirty percent (30%) of the average number of ballots cast in the last three (3) town elections, rounded up to the nearest multiple of fifty (50), shall be addressed to the Council and filed with the City Clerk."
That would mean if the referendum is passed and the public sought to recall certain Mayor and Council members approximately 450 signatures of registered voters would be currently needed, based on the last three election turnout figures.
Attorney Dave Gaskill drafted the charter amendment after taking umbrage with the council majority decision to abruptly remove former City Manager Dennis Dare. Gaskill believes voters need a mechanism in place to hold council members accountable more than just every four years at the polls. The FOP has taken the lead on the signature collection effort, although there are reportedly other groups assisting the cause.
"Like everyone else, I was upset what the council did, and they need to be put to the test," Gaskill said.
The FOP is no stranger to petition efforts as it was successful in getting the issue of collective bargaining on the ballot multiple times before finally winning the voters' endorsement.
FOP President Glen McIntyre was not available for comment yesterday, but FOP Past President Mark Paddack has confirmed the lodge's involvement in the petition drive.
Currently, the city charter stipulates the only way to remove an elected official is due to nonattendance, leave of absence and removal for conviction of felonies and criminal offenses or wrongful acts, disqualification for failing to meet certain requirements, such as island residency, or a death.
Under the proposed charter amendment change, if the required signatures are met to recall an elected official, he or she would have five days to step down or a special election would most likely be held, seeking a yes or no vote from voters.
It reads, "If the petition or amended petition shall be found by the City Clerk to be sufficient, the same shall be submitted with the clerk's certificate to the Council without delay, and the Council shall, if the elected official sought to be removed does not resign within five (5) days thereafter, thereupon order an election to be on the date fixed by them not less than thirty (30) nor more than forty-five (45) days from the date of the City Clerk's certificate that a sufficient petition was filed; provided, however, that if any other municipal election is to occur within sixty (60) days from the date of the City Clerk's certificate, the council may, at its discretion, postpone the holding of the recall election to the date of such other municipal election."

Net Worth of Jax Council Members
Although it may seem like a bit of financial voyeurism that causes the general public/journalists to review these self-disclosed Financial Disclosure Forms (Form 6), there is still a very practical need to know this information about Jacksonville's elected officials. It boils down to looking for "conflicts of interest". It is the the major reason why this form must be filled out and submitted annually to Florida Commission on Ethics, before July 1 of each year, by our elected officials.
What matters more is not their actual net worth. It's how and where their money is made that matters most. If proposed legislation has the potential to impact their income the official has an obligation to clearly state their bias and/or recuse themselves from a vote.
But, it's also the responsibility of the constituents to be aware of where officials may be more self-interested than public-interested. As the Florida Commission on Ethics writes "The disclosure process serves to remind officials of their obligation to put the public interest above personal considerations."
This information is about keeping officials accountable. One shouldn't just run through the numbers without looking into the sources.
Except for District 10's Reginald Brown all of Jacksonville's members of council have turned in their forms for 2012. Councilman Reginald Brown has not submitted a form in two years and has been fined $125.00. Councilman Clark has submitted his form but it is not online for reference, yet.

MEA-MFT member Karen Lewis, a member of the MEA-MFT Republican Caucus Task Force, attended the Montana Republican Convention in summer 2009.
There, she hosted an MEA-MFT Republican Caucus table, decorated the table with an MEA-MFT banner, MEA-MFT Republican Caucus coffee cups, and fact sheets.
She said, "It was awesome—I should have had a camera to take photos of people's faces. One woman thought she was in the wrong place for the convention when she saw the MEA-MFT table. People were really taken with this idea. It was exhilarating. People took cups for themselves and their family members who are teachers. People would talk and talk."
Karen told people, "It's crazy for Republicans to be the enemy of public education. It's our common interest—we're all here for the future of our kids—who can argue with that?" She had just two negative people stop by. She told them, "Isn't it great we live in America" where we can disagree.
Karen won the convention raffle and when she went up to get the prize, the announcer said to the convention, "This is Karen Lewis and she's here making a difference in our views of unions and public education."
Follow-up: The Pachdyrm Clubs in Missoula and Kalispell would like to have a speaker come to explain more about MEA-MFT and our Republican Caucus—a great opportunity for outreach to the Republican Party.

Astros decline any arbitration offers
No compensation for Houston if Wolf, Brocail sign elsewhere
By Alyson Footer / MLB.com
The Astros had three ranked free agents eligible for salary arbitration -- Randy Wolf, Doug Brocail and Mark Loretta. A fourth free agent, Brad Ausmus, is unranked.
The decision means the Astros will receive no Draft pick compensation if Wolf, a Type B free agent, or Brocail, a Type A, sign with other teams. The club appears to still be open to retaining both Wolf and Brocail, but the chances for Brocail to remain in Houston are greater than those for Wolf.
"We've had discussions with Brocail, and I'd like to think we'll have something done soon," Wade said.
Wolf's situation is more complicated. He was once the club's main offseason target, but as each day passes, he appears to be more and more of a long shot. Wade cited current economic times as the main reason why they have to be more deliberate with their decision-making process. Namely, sponsorship sales, as well as season ticket sales, are projected to be down next year, which directly affects how much money can go toward player salaries.
"We're not immune to what's taking place in the real world, so to speak," Wade said. "The projections aren't good."
Seemingly, the risk of Wolf accepting the offer wouldn't have been terribly costly. Had he accepted, the Astros would have had to commit only one year to the veteran left-hander, and while his salary would have probably reached upwards of $10 million, the club wouldn't have been burdened with a long-term deal.
But in the end, Wade decided the financial risk was too great to take that chance.
"We don't know what landscape is out there with regard to offers from other clubs he might get," Wade said. "We thought long and hard about this one."
The projected $100 million payroll may be lowered, and if the Astros want to re-sign Wolf, they'll have to rid themselves of other high salaries. Miguel Tejada will be tough to move, considering his numbers declined in '08 and he is owed $13 million next year. Carlos Lee has said repeatedly that he will not waive his no-trade clause. Ty Wigginton and Jose Valverde are due hefty pay raises in arbitration and could be moved, but with both heading toward free agency after 2009, it might not be easy to receive reasonable value in return.
"In order for us to pursue top-shelf free agents, that would entail us moving significant payroll that's on the club," Wade said. "There's no certainty we can do that or even have a great appetite to do that."

The fun will begin on Friday afternoon, when the Dardanelle High School Band will open the festivities at 4 p.m. and play for about two hours.
Later that night, local musical acts Rawhide and Feedback will perform.
Saturday contains the majority of the fun as the day opens with a Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast beginning at 6 a.m.
The annual 4-mile run starts at 8 a.m., and the famous yelling contest starts shortly after noon. A poker run will begin at approximately 1 p.m.
Several live musical acts will perform on Saturday, including Some Guy Named Robb, Three on a Tree, Street Water, Caitlin Miller and Merilee Voth.
Ashley Andrews, the Dardanelle Area Chamber of Commerce director, is excited about showcasing Jamie Lou and the Whiskeys Too, a popular local act that will headline the festival.
"Rawhide and Feedback are two of our main acts, but we're really excited about Saturday night, when Jamie Lou and the Whiskeys Too will perform," Andrews said.
"They are just a wonderful group. She has a wonderful voice, and we are really looking forward to having her."
A variety of food options will be available throughout the weekend, featuring everything from hamburgers to frog legs.
"We have some wonderful foods available," Andrews said. "We have a food vendor that brings in some of the best catfish in the South, along with shrimp and frog legs. They're making it fresh, so if they're selling something on Friday, they caught it Wednesday."
Andrews said they will also have favorites like hamburgers, hot dogs, cotton candy, funnel cakes and virgin daiquiris.
Fairgoers will also have the chance to ride carnival rides with the purchase of an armband.
Armbands are $13 pre-sale and $15 the day of, and can be used either Friday night from 6-10 p.m. or Saturday afternoon from 12-4 or 6-10 p.m. Yell Fest itself is free.
"You can just come in and see what we have to offer," Andrews said. "We'll have live music going all day Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday evening."
The Chamber of Commerce is still accepting applications for craft vendors, as well as the Poker and 4-mile runs.
To apply for these, or to find out more information about Yell Fest, contact Andrews at (479) 699-5246.

Pretty light on its feet for such a big gorilla
Telstra chief executive David Thodey maintained his two ring circus act in the December half, as the telco industry's big gorilla continued to also be the industry's most nimble performer.
As Thodey observed, key signs of momentum were present, again: it has become a hallmark of his tenure. Revenue rose by 1.7 per cent to $12.7 billion, gross profit was 5 per cent to $5 billion, and net profit was up 8.8 per cent to $1.6 billion.
Telstra also added another 607,000 mobile phone customers during the half, continuing a period of out-performance in that market that has now been running for about two years, Mobile revenue rose by 4.6 per cent to $4.6 billion, a $200 million rise that helped bump up the profit line, and earnings before interest, tax and depreciation have now risen by over 20 per cent in the last 18 months.
The mobile division's Ebitda margin of 37 per cent is now very healthy, particularly because Telstra's capital expenditure is being contained after its big capital outlays on networks and systems a few years ago: capital expenditure will run at about 15 per cent of sales this year, it says.
Telstra has paid 14 cents a share, and confirmed its target for a 28 cent payout in the full year, the rate Telstra shareholders are now accustomed to. They should be pretty happy with this result. The telco continues to be the best of both worlds for them: a high yield, secure investment that has also rediscovered ways to grow.

If Jim Rome talks smack in the forest, but nobody hears it, does it count as smack?
Rome is well into his second month hosting his new show Rome on CBS Sports Network. Thus far, the latest version of Rome has evolved into a fast-moving show that continues to attract big-time guests: David Stern, Aaron Rogers, Matt Kemp, Justin Verlander, Charles Barkley among others.
"It's early on, but I am as proud of this show as any show I've ever done," said Rome in his distinctive tone during a phone interview with me.
Yet having said that, Rome is well aware of the reality of his new situation. CBS Sports Network doesn't have any ratings data for Rome's new show, but you don't have to be a Nielsen expert to know it is a fraction of what it was at his former home on ESPN.
I tell Rome my boys, ages 16 and 14, used to watch his show all the time. They came home from school, turned on ESPN and took in the late afternoon block of programming. So much for homework.
They haven't altered their routine to accommodate Rome's switch. Television viewing is habitual, I tell Rome, and at 5 p.m. (Central), they are watching SportsCenter instead of flipping to CBS Sports Network for Rome's show.
"I get it," Rome said. "I need a buy-in from those kids."
Then Rome said, "If you want, I'll tell them myself."
Unfortunately, the boys weren't home on this day, but I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually get a call from Rome. He is so passionate about his new endeavor, he would go door-to-door to attract viewers.
Rome actually is counting on the conventional methods (word-of-mouth and promotion) to build an audience. He knows it will take time and that he may be playing to a mostly empty room for a while.
Rome, though, remains confident he made the right decision, and he continues to stress there is more involved to this move than just the CBS Sports Network show.
Here's my Q/A with Rome.
What's your assessment of the show thus far?
I was ready for a new challenge, ready for a new show. We're hitting it hard. It's early on, but I am as proud of this show as any show I've ever done.
We're putting so much more into it. I always liked the last show that I did, but it became kind of static. Four burns off the top of the show. Then you'd get an interview. Then you'd get a panelist. Then you'd get one burn at the back end of the show.
This is much more labor intensive. We're trying to get 7-8 burns at the top. Then we'll do an interview. If there's not a good interview, then we'll double up on the panel. A lot more content. It feels like it moves faster. It feels like the 2.0 version of what I was doing.
Could you have done the same thing for ESPN? Could you have said I want to change the format of the show?
It's a real interesting question. We just thought we were doing as much as we could do. Everyone was happy with the show. It never came up. At one point they came to me and said, instead of having two people on your panel,. go ahead and have one person. We always thought we were giving as much as we possibly could. It wasn't until I left where we all said, 'Look, you can't do the same show you've always done. You've got to do more and be better.'
For the millionth time, what were your motivations for the move?
I felt like I had done same show for so long. At this point in my career, I said I could keep doing the same thing. I thought there is risk inherent in not trying to stretch and try something new. On top of that, let's be honest. If it was just a straight swap, simply moving show to CBS Sports Network, maybe that's something I wouldn't have done. They've offered me so many other things. They put me on Letterman. I was on the set of the Final Four; I was on the pregame show for the AFC Championship game, and there are more opportunities, including a show on Showtime. When CBS calls and offers you that, you don't say no.
Do you consider yourself a person who likes to take risks?
Am I a risk guy? Doing nothing would have been a greater risk. But I'm pretty calculating. Sometimes, you have to push yourself.
I'm trying to get in and hopefully make a difference. It's a big swing. Guys like us who have done this a long time, you've got to take a shot.
You mention a Showtime program. What will that be?
It's going to come out in the Fall. I'm not trying to hide anything, but there's really not anything new at this point.
What was it like to see all the billboards and ads promoting the new show?
They had this unbelievable roll out when they made the announcement. In my entire career, I never had that kind of promotion in radio or TV. That in of itself was an incredible thing for my career, for my brand.
When I got to New York to do Letterman, I saw a billboard of myself. Somebody took a picture of me standing next to it. I emailed it to my wife. She literally cried. She couldn't believe it. It was an amazing feeling, and a surreal feeling. It made me want to do well for these folks because they put it out there for me.
You've had great guests thus far.
Maybe, it's the relationships I have with these guys that they want to come on with Rome, whatever that show might be. They'll get a fair interview and hopefully a smart interview. But it feels good.
How do you reach the viewers who turn on ESPN and leave it on?
You're exactly right. It's the De facto channel. You don't have to find anything. You just turn your TV on. My feeling is, I only can do what I can do. I'm constantly trying to say this is where we are, this is what we're doing. I try and use Twitter and my radio show to get the word out.
Look, they've got a 40-year head start on us and everyone else. ESPN is ESPN. It's a monster. I understand it isn't going to change overnight. I'm determined to keep grinding it out every day and do everything I can to get your kids to tune into that network.
There aren't any ratings for your show. How do you know if people are watching?
I hear from the radio listeners. I get the feedback through Twitter and the radio show. That's how I know people are seeing the show. We have to tell people where to find it. That's the challenge. Exactly where are you and when are you on? That's the challenge thus far.
Do people still say to you, 'You're crazy, why did you leave ESPN?
Yeah, little bit. Once in a while. It's not just the one show. It's the whole platform. It's been great. They were very good to me at ESPN. I had a great run there. CBS has been awesome. It's a great company to work for. They give me a lot of support. I've never once looked back.
It's a big picture thing. I'm not so locked in that it's just the TV show. I'm reaching so many different places across the platforms. Once I made the decision, once I'm in, I'm all in. It might sound trite, but I'm trying to do the best TV show I can do every single day. That's what I'm focused on. It's going to take some time. As long as I can do a TV show I'm proud of, that's the only thing that matters.
So no buyer's remorse?
I'm not like that. I thought about this for a long, long time. Once I decided to do it, I was all in. No buyer's remorse at all.
I know what I signed up for. I understand where I am right now. I know I'm supposed to help drive the eyeballs to this network.

Melo driving to the hoop without a double team is a given.
Melo holding onto the ball while team watches is not good.
JLin as proper PG finding Melo and other Knicks in mismatches is best.
as mentioned, we're only 2 games into LinMelo, this will develop organically.
with Melo NOT point forward, there should be less stagnation, more screens, less double teams, more open men.
this is a gameplan for success.

Crisis brewing in the Tampa Bay Tidepool
1 out of 8 citizens within Tampa Bay region currently do not have the luxury of report to a job on a daily basis. And it is this impending economic pickle that might finally sour the Rays Front Office to this region effectively corralling the numbers needed to support the team in the next 5 or 6 seasons. With the team basically coming "out front" and telling their fan base they have collectively "borrowed" money for payroll from future Rays squads, this might be a sign of leaner times for the Rays until the entire economic system rebounds and again begins a healthy upswing.
But this is also a National crisis, but the media and blogs posted in the past month or so questioning this region's passion and love for the game are ridiculous. These same postings do not address solutions within the region, but point to outer posts or locales where a "healthy" revenue stream can be obtained with minimal effort by the men who guard the coffers. And with their statements, they do not even surface emphasize or firmly grasp this region's struggles to simply tread water right now because they are not down in the Rays trenches on a first hand basis, and seeing the growing fan base increasing potential and the beaming pride from the ground level of both young and old fans in the stands.
They point to the black-and-white facts of the Rays lacking great local Corporate support and ticket sales, or even the abysmal Season Ticket holder numbers which in comparison would look firmly out of context numbers when stood next to the Corporate support shown within the large capital cities of industry like New York, Philadelphia or Boston, which have over 100 years of baseball support systems in place to form a solid fan foundation compared to the less than 20 years of total Tampa Bay's Major League Baseball existence.
And some of these same authors' have been bold and brazen enough to label this community a "Spring Training town" and not able to muster the needed revenues or support to even keep a Florida State League team in our abandoned waterfront stadium. But these same voices forget to tell you of City of St. Petersburg legislation to secure baseball events like the ACC Baseball Tourney and other yearly baseball tournaments for the currently vacant Progress Energy Park.
The basic instinct of prioritizing their family finances, and cutting out such past luxuries as attending countless Rays games could dramatically effect Rays game attendance figures throughout 2010. I know this region is just a small puddle within the larger pond of increasing frustrations felt by citizens throughout the United States by this growing epidemic, and it might hit hard on MLB teams in other cities like Detroit, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and the list can go on and on….until we are again on a solid footing. But even that first hint of a ripple, that first stone dropping into the water can change the outcome and appearance of the entire scenario in a matter of seconds. This time is that important right now here in Tampa Bay.
As of December 2009, there are over 15 million people just like myself, fighting to find even a part-time gig to support their sole existence, not just their MLB yearly habit. And it might be someone like myself, or even you who ultimately adds one more failure to the Rays board by not being able to attend games, or showing a physical presence at the ballpark every night. But I also know I will do everything short of becoming another street dweller to raise the bar and show my pride physically as well as fiscally in my love of the game and my hometown Rays, as long as I financially can… But there are many who will not be able to make that financial commitment or even take these types of chances in 2010 with their incomes, or even attend as many games because of fiscal woes and their decreasing disposable income limitations.
And that will fuel the non-support flames even higher towards the Rays bonfires again, not the reality that this service-oriented, transient populated Tampa Bay community lives and breathes off the tourism dollar and the seasonal ventures by out-of-town fans that come here for weekends or weekdays following their teams road trip schedules during the MLB season. And even the most dedicated Rays fan might have noticed the economic effect in the stands during the 2009 season when Boston and New York came to town the Rays could bank on being sold-out in advance, even during the mid-week.
But in 2009, there was an increasing ocean of empty blue-colored seats poking out towards television cameras to viewers in the other reaches of the United States. And to them, those empty seats transferred quickly to lack of support, or even a visual reminder of just how hard this region is struggling with itself to fill those same empty seats on the usually slow Thursday night games. My tickets for 81 games come in at $ 1,799 for the season for my little seat right next to the Rightfield foul pole at Tropicana Field. That breaks down to around $ 20.21 per game. And I will be honest, some nights that $ 20 could be better spent, but it is my personal commitment to this team that I give it to the Rays without a single moment of hesitation or concern right now.
For our much maligned region of Florida to survive the attacks and the volleys from outside our walls we have to join and remain strong in our bonds and commitments to baseball in our community. I remember another city back in 1984 that also thought they were on solid ground and enthusiastic towards their opinions that " things would work out" for its city and its NFL team coming to a harmonious agreement. And the citizens believed in this team and community meshing until the Mayflower moving vans formed outside Memorial Stadium in Baltimore and their team relocated in the middle of the night to Indianapolis, Indiana.

Hope you guys can get some fans out to the ballpark. I don't see why not, you guys have a fantastic young team!
cool blog rays hope the rays get more fans
I guess I wrote it in a way that missed the point.
This region of Florida has been hit by the worst of the Florida unemployment situation.
And because of that, people like myself, who have been without a job for almost three years are about out of 401K and possessions to sell or pawn to live.
But then again, the sport locally will just show 10,000 fans during the weekday games, and hopefully 25,000 plus on the weekends.
Rays Renegade
During the 2009 season, and this off season the Rays Front Office has stressed that they have gone above their comfort levels in maintaining their team payroll.
And with that, they have voiced this loud and clear to the Rays Republic that we need to attend more games to balance out that extra expenditure.
With the economic barometer still heading down, that is not a reality right now in this region, and it might have some severe consequences.
I guess we will see soon enough if it is smoke, or if there is real need for concern behind the emerald green curtain.
Rays Renegade
Great entry. It sounds like they've spent too much in the Rays Front Office, but the fans shouldn't have to suffer because of it. I hope they keep the Rays in Tampa Bay and notice that their attendance problem may just be a result of the economy and not a lack of fans. By the way, I may be coming down to the Madeira Beach area this March and was wondering if you could give me any useful info on Spring Training in the Tampa Area. Thanks.
The Rays will have a great season. It seems that season ticket sales are down everywhere.
They definitely maybe borrowed a bit from the 2011 payroll to fit some guys into the mix for 2010.
And even if B J Upton's Arbitration goes to $ 3.5 million, that is one they might already have figured into the mix.
Sure, I will email you in the nexy ot two and see where you might want to go and she what I can do for you in regards to Spring Training.
Rays Renegade
I agree with you that they are probably down allover MLB.
It just concerns me after the team has stressed they paid it forward to get a "winner" now, that we might get shortchanged in the next few years.
I guess it could be worse and they move……………or is that their next ploy?

Southpaw joins Turnbow, Lee to represent Brewers
By Mike Bauman / MLB.com
Capuano joins left fielder Carlos Lee and closer Derrick Turnbow to make this the largest Milwaukee contingent at an All-Star Game since 1983. There is no doubt that Capuano's work (10-4 with a 3.21 ERA) merits All-Star status. But the selection process left him with plenty of doubts, repeatedly.
"The whole week has been just a crazy rollercoaster," Capuano said Monday during the All-Star interview session. "Before they picked anyone, I thought: 'Hey, maybe I've got a shot.' Then I had my worst outing of the season in Minnesota a couple of Saturdays ago and they picked the team Sunday.
"So I found out I didn't make it then and I thought: 'OK, I can just enjoy my All-Star break and try to have a good second half.' Then I found out I was in the running for the [Final Man] voting. So I said: 'OK, here's another chance.'
"As you know, I finished second in that voting to Nomar [Garciaparra]. I said: 'OK, I'm fine with it, I'm going to [Cape Cod] -- enjoy myself, come back for the second half.'
"But then I see that Pedro [Martinez] went down and they need a replacement. So OK, maybe I'm going to go now. And then I found out that wasn't going to happen because they took Roy [Oswalt]. Then it was over. I said: 'It's over, my plans are set in stone now.'
"So Sunday, I'm out in the outfield playing catch during batting practice, the game's not far away, and I see our manager, Ned Yost, just walking across the outfield. It's very strange for the manager to be walking in the outfield. He says: 'Tom Glavine's not going to throw. How'd you like to go to Pittsburgh?'
"I didn't even know how to react at that point. I needed an hour. I didn't know how to react. I was like shell-shocked; so many changes of mindsets and changes of plans."
Just one hour after the Final Man voting was announced, Capuano had a game to pitch against the Cubs. He may have been disappointed, but he threw a shutout.
"At that point, I had to clear my head and say: 'This is the most important thing -- what's going on in our clubhouse, what's happening here in Milwaukee -- I've got to focus on that.'
"But when they had to find a replacement for Pedro, those feelings of excitement started to come back. When that didn't happen, I was back to 'this is definitely done now.'
"Now, this is an unbelievable honor. But just having my name tossed around with the rest of these guys was a pretty good compliment."
Lee is the only repeat All-Star of the three. In the final year of a contract, Lee spent much of his interview time assuring questioners that he wanted to remain with the Brewers.
"We [have] got a great team, a great clubhouse, the fans are pretty good, there's no reason for me to try to go someplace else," Lee said Monday. "If I have to choose where I'm going, I'll stay with the Brewers."
One of the reasons Lee feels that way is that he likes the direction of the team. Asked about the three All-Stars for the Brewers, he replied: "I would say for the years to come, there will probably be a lot more."
Turnbow, in his first All-Star appearance, said he was hoping to use this experience to pick the brains of veteran All-Star closers. Apart from that, he said that being selected for the team was beyond description.
"Honestly, I still can't believe it," he said. "I could say every word in the book and it probably still wouldn't describe [how] fortunate I am to be here and just how overwhelming it really is. I don't know how to describe it. I just want to suck it all in and enjoy it. I may never get back here."
The Brewers got back, at least to the level where they had three All-Stars, all of them here on merit.

Great Western Corporation
List of Deals
Great Western Savings and Loan Association was founded in California in 1919. The company focused on accepting savings deposits and making home loans in the Los Angeles region. The Great Western Savings and Loan Association was incorporated as a California corporation in 1925. A larger holding company, the Great Western Corporation, was organized in Delaware in 1955. This corporation included the Great Western Savings and Loan Association and the capital stocks of twenty-two escrow companies.
In 1955 Great Western Savings and Loan ran offices in Los Angeles's downtown and Crenshaw Districts and in nearby Gardena, California. The S&L had assets of $3.5 million in 1947 and prospered greatly in the following years. By 1950 it had assets of $20.6 million, and at the time of the incorporation in 1955 it had $114 million in assets.
In 1955 the Great Western Corporation escrow companies were located in Los Angeles and its surrounding communities in Southern California. These escrow agents participated in real estate deals, holding funds during transfers of title and real property. Each company was small, with staffs of three to eight people, but together the companies formed the largest group of escrow companies in California under a single management company.
After incorporating in 1955, the Great Western Corporation issued 500,000 shares of capital stock with a par value of $1 and a public price of $23.50. This stock issue, after fees, raised $10.8 million for the corporation, which allowed the retiring of promissory notes.
The Great Western Corporation went on to acquire multiple other California Savings and Loans in the next few years: Santa Ana Savings (1956), West Coast Savings (Sacramento, 1957), Guaranty Savings (San Jose, 1958), Central Savings (San Luis Obispo, 1959), and First Savings (Oakland, 1959). These and several other acquired S&Ls were combined into Great Western Savings in 1972. Great Western Financial was purchased by Washington Mutual in a white knight takeover in 1997, after a hostile takeover bid from H.F. Ahmanson.

And if you are going to say something have the courage to put a name to your spite.
I heckled him because he was wrong, so wrong that it wasn't possible for me not to. For all I know, this person is you. I wrote much of and keep the CPAN and search.cpan FAQs, I run the box, I keep it running, and we answer and address feedback as time and patience allow. When some guy starts bitching about how 'this page has no links' or 'this has no FAQ', etc. when that person hasn't sent email to said effect, he's lucky I wasn't on the other side of the auditorium where lunging for him would have been convenient and quick. I felt badly but nearly all the people I expressed my lament to said he had it coming to him.
Not to mention the new version of the search engine that graham has worked very hard on, with little or no thanks or recognition, adresses much of his whining and should be out by TPC. Of course, this guy ran off before I could tell him about this.
And, lastly, I'll make this bold for you. SEARCH.CPAN IS NOT CPAN. CPAN is CPAN and search.cpan is a wholly separate entity.
If you want to get up and start trashing on someone's work and are utterly wrong...I'll heckle you too.
He was a tool. You were just culling the herd!
And how, praythee, is either search.cpan.org or CPAN supposed to be offering a module-specific FAQ if there isn't any...? (If there are other doc files available, like for example HTML files at the top level of the module, search.cpan.org does list them, try for example distribution 'CGI.pm'.)
Mr Crawford's talk was titled "CPAN is unusable". If his point really was to complain that XML::RSS should have an FAQ, that title is, ummm, oddly chosen. In any case, all this talk was to bumble around in the per
Well, I would have to disagree with you here. I thought his comments on the usability of CPAN were quite well thought-out. Everyone (with whom I have ever spoken) agrees that CPAN is a fantastic resource. (And kudos to those like yourself who maintain it.) But, I share Mr. Crawford's concern that things could be laid out in a more intuitive manner. (David Crawford, by the way, is the guy whose talk you interrupted.)
I'm sorry, you appear to have missed the part where search.cpan is not CPAN. There are 3
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
> search.cpan is not CPAN.
From an outsider's perspective, the difference is not immediately obvious. For one example, if you hang around at perlmonks, most mentions of "look on CPAN" are accompanied by a link to search.cpan.org.
I wasn't the only one heckling him, merely the loudest. The 2nd row was pretty full.
Maybe you could have added an additional prize "Most Rude Talk" to Mr Crawford for standing in front of an audience that included some of the people that give their free time so he can download Perl modules and telling them that what they had built sucked.
His talk was built for the easy laugh: "look here is a link on that page that leads to the doc for the module, now lets go back, click on the next link, cautiously avoid the link to that mysterious

UN476/01 Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. The UN476 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Vienna Design collections 2017 and 2018.
This Vienna Design model is an all-rounder, equally suiting men and women. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. Rectangular models are particularly suitable for round and oval faces. The rectangular shape also builds a bridge to corners and edges from an image aspect. The metal frame is very light and comfortable to wear. It is both robust and classy. Brown is the perfect alternative for those who find black too high in contrast. Brown flatters the face unobtrusively.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
The model is in stock. If you order now with the express shipping option, we can even guarantee the time of delivery. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Oh, the things you find on the Internet.
In the latest installment of "Tonight Show" screengrabs, host Jimmy Fallon was alerted to his startling resemblance to singer Genya Ravan – much to the delight of the audience and house band The Roots.
"Don't look like me!," Fallon joked as the band laughed hysterically.
To reinforce the likeness, Fallon went so far as to don a red wig cut to mirror the messy, rocker shag Ravan sports on the cover of her album, Urban Desire.
Ravan was a member of the all-girl rock band Goldie and the Gingerbreads from 1962 to 1967. They were the were the first all-female rock band signed to a major record label. Ravan was later signed by legendary music producer Clive Davis.
Ravan's official Twitter account and Facebook page gave the a shout-out to "The Tonight Show" after it aired on the east coast Monday, asking, "Any west coast friends able to grab video from tonight's Fallon? We just heard he did a bit involving Genya..."

Parents everywhere probably agree that changing diapers is no fun. But what about letting your baby go without diapers?
It's called "elimination communication"; a method of parenting that is getting a lot of attention. According to the New York Times, it's actually become a huge trend in some hipper parts of New York City.
Basically, infants as young as newborns do not wear diapers. Mothers learn to read their child's sounds and behaviors while they go to the bathroom, and then begin using sounds like "sss" or grunting as the child goes. They are then eventually able to hold the baby over a container, toilet, or whichever designated spot, make the noise, and command the baby to go to the bathroom.
Mothers using the method said they train the babies to go in containers around the house, toilets, or even while outside on a street, or in a park. However, they do note that diapers are used in some circumstances, like at night or when at a restaurant or store, for example.
A New York City Health Department spokeswoman said the issue is not really one of a health hazard, but rather just a sanitation issue.
Some pediatricians are skeptical that children under a year old can actually control their elimination urges, but those using the method have said they have trained infants as young as a couple of weeks old.
The whole experience is said to be a form of attachment parenting, like breast-feeding, that make it an intimate way for parents to get to know their children.
It's also a nod to other countries and cultures that begin potty training at a much younger age than is traditionally done in the United States.

The first question:
Osho,You said that you are trying to develop the third type of psychology, the psychology of the buddhas, but where will you get buddhas for study?
To begin with, one is already here, and sooner or later he will turn many of you into buddhas. If one is there, many become immediately possible because the one can work as a catalytic agent. Not that he will do something, but just because he is there things start moving on their own. That's the meaning of a catalytic agent. Sooner or later, many of you will turn into buddhas, because everyone is basically a buddha. How long can you delay in recognizing it? How long can you postpone it? Difficult - you will try your best to postpone, to delay, to create millions of difficulties, but how long can you do this?
I am here to push you somehow into the abyss, where you die and the buddha is born. The problem is always in finding the one. Once the one is there the basic fulfillment, the basic requirement is fulfilled. Then many become immediately possible. And if many are there, then thousands become possible. The first works like a spark, and a small spark is enough to burn the whole earth. This is how it has happened in the past. Once Gautam became a buddha, thousands by and by had to become. Because it is not a question of becoming; you are already that. Somebody has to remind you, that's all.
Just the other day I was reading one of Ramakrishna's parables. I love it. I read it again and again whenever I come across it. It is the whole story of the master being a catalytic agent.
A tigress died while giving birth to a cub, and the cub was brought up by goats. Of course, the tiger believed himself to be a goat also. It was simple, natural; brought up by the goats, living with the goats, he believed that he was a goat. He remained a vegetarian, eating and chewing grass. He had no conception. Not even in his dreams could he dream that he was a tiger. And he was a tiger.

(NNPA)—Last week's injustice to the life and legacy of Trayvon Martin takes its infamous place in the annals of United States history, along with the 1857 Dred Scott Supreme Court ruling, the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson court ruling, the 1955 Emmett Till murder, and the 1963 fire hosing and church bombing of Black children in Birmingham, Ala., and the 2010 murder Oscar Grant while in handcuffs.
Each was a singular moment in American history, yet reminded the world of the unequal justice and "open season" on Black people in America. As was the question of Black families then, today, following the targeting of Trayvon, Black parents sense another "open season" and are asking: What should we tell our sons?
In an ideal America parents—of any color—should only tell their sons to be honest, hard working, faithful, fair, and respectful, among other virtues. Of course, the America in which we live, filled with the false notion of White supremacy, is a tale of two turnouts for boys whose names begin with the letter T. Imagine one is named Trevor. One is named Trayvon.
Trevor is White, blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Trayvon is Black, brown-haired and brown-eyed. Both Trevor and Trayvon are typical teenage boys who are testing their proverbial "wings" in life. Both seemingly have much life in front of them. Both Trevor and Trayvon's parents love them dearly. Yet, when each exits their respective homes, the feelings of their parents are virtually in two different worlds. The White parents have no fear their son will be racially profiled. The Black parents knows that racial profiling of their son is a real and, perhaps, regular possibility. We know how Trayvon's life so violently ended.
Now that we have analyzed and been agitated to action by the acquittal of Trayvon's murderer, Black parents should tell their sons 10 things:
1. Dress like you wish to be treated. Police and "want-to-be" cops profile certain dress such as no belts, sagging pants, white tank tops, etc. Although wearing a hoodie in the rain, as Trayvon did, should be free from profiling.
2. Take driver's license photo with blazer, white shirt and tie (at least white shirt and tie), unless you choose cultural attire.
3. Give your name and ask their name, if asked for identification.
4. Be polite, without being pious; cordial, without being cowardly.
5. Pull over in nearest lighted area.
6. Turn on interior lights in car.
7. Place hands on top of steering wheel.
8. Announce intention to reach for wallet or identification.
9. Call Police immediately after traffic stop and identify location to ensure that there was an official stop recorded by Police dispatch.
10. Write detailed account of stop.

Garden Talk: September 24, 2009
From NGA Editors
New Pink Annabelle Hydrangea
The round white flower heads of the Annabelle mophead hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) are a favorite of many gardeners. The flowers are produced on new growth in summer and continue to bloom until fall. Now, the color range of the mophead hydrangea has been expanded to include pink.
'Invincebelle Spirit' mophead hydrangea features 6- to 8-inch-diameter, hot pink flower buds that open to a bright pink. The plant begins blooming in early summer and continues intermittently until fall. Since the flowers form on new wood, even if the plant dies backs to the ground in winter, it will flower the next summer. 'Invincibelle Spirit' grows 3 to 4 feet wide and high, is hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9, and grows best in full to part sun on well-drained, fertile soil.

Growing Giant Pumpkins Organically
Fall is pumpkin time in the U.S. For a particular group of people, fall is all about giant pumpkins -- the enormous fruits that you see at country fairs and on the news. The current world record for giant pumpkins is 1689 pounds. That's one big fruit. If you're interested in growing one of these behemoths, there is a new book available that takes you through the steps, organically. Don Langevin's How-to Grow World Class Giant Pumpkins the All-Organic Way (Annedawn Publishing, 2009) talks about the seed varieties, soil, growing, care, and harvesting of these giants. While much of the cultural information is available in previous books on growing giant pumpkins, Langevin's new book is unique in talking about how to grow them organically.
The book also features a section about the growers themselves. Fourteen profiles of expert giant pumpkin growers gives you a glimpse into their lives, the world of giant pumpkin growing, and their personal tips on how to grow the big ones.

Houseplants Give Off VOCs, Too
It is common knowledge that houseplants can help clean the air. Many houseplants remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) deemed indoor air pollutants, such as toulene and xylene. These VOCs are emitted from a variety of indoor sources such as new carpets, paints, and cleaning agents. However, recent research from the University of Georgia questions the cleaning properties of four common houseplants and suggests they can actually add to indoor pollution levels.
University researchers measured the VOCs emitted by four common houseplants (areca palm, snake plant, weeping fig, and peace lily). They found up to 23 VOCs emitted by each plant. However, it seems the source of the VOCs may not be just the plants themselves. Pesticides used in growing the houseplants, the potting soil, and plastic pots all were major contributors to the off-gases. Houseplants still do more good than harm. Instead of removing houseplants from your room, consider growing them organically, covering the soil with mulch, and using a clay or ceramic pot.

New Low Maintenance Lawn Grass Variety
The Holy Grail for many home owners is a lawn that looks great but needs little maintenance, especially mowing. Well, for homeowners in cool parts of the country, there is a new grass variety that may come close to fulfilling that dream.
Pearl's Premium grass seed is a cool-season mix. The grass species making up this mix grow roots 12 inches deep into the soil, helping keep the grass green during dry periods. The grass grows so slowly that it only needs mowing once a month.
Jackson Madnick of Wayland, Massachusetts, developed the variety. He was looking for a low-maintenance grass variety for his lawn. He didn't like the options available in the retail trade so spent 6 years researching and testing varieties to find his own. He hired three PhD-level lawn scientists to help study and test various grasses, culminating in this fescue-based blend. He claims his variety never needs fertilizing, and because the roots grow so deep into the soil, doesn't need watering once it is established.

Dear Editor,
I write this to you just one day after the announcement of Chris and Shelly Aaland's unceremonious firing from FLC. I will give full disclosure, as of today, I am a former FLC student, athlete, Alumni Association Board Member, donor and supporter... and yes, I also consider the Aaland's close personal friends.
Most folks know about the personal struggles the Aaland family has endured and overcome in the last two years. With that said, I would like to speak to the core of what the FLC community has lost with the horrendous decision to fire not one, but TWO Aalands. In a world whereby it is difficult to find 'good help', it is extremely difficult to find GREAT HELP! I know firsthand the sheer number of hours Chris and Shelly logged every week. I know Chris and Shelly's level of dedication, determination and love, not just for FLC athletics, but FLC as a whole. In short, Chris and Shelly Aaland bled Blue & Gold! Absolutely, I feel for Chris and Shelly right now. However, that sadness pales in comparison to how I feel for the FLC faculty, students, student athletes, coaches and alumni that will no longer be served by Chris and Shelly Aaland! I read where Mitch Davis said, "the college hopefully would begin conducting searches to fill both positions within the next few weeks." Mr. Davis, respectfully I have two words for you, Gary Hunter and Fort Lewis College, GOOD LUCK!
Bill Deter - Class of 1990

Eligibility for Military Tuition Assistance:
All active-duty military personnel are eligible to receive MTA.
What MTA pays for:
It pays the enrollment fees for classes; students are responsible for payment of all other fees.
How to receive MTA:
Students must bring in a completed tuition assistance form to the college Veterans Office in the Administration and Governance Building (AGB). These forms are available at the base education office.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Why does my student account show money owed even though I turned in a MTA form? The military pays only after the semester is over, and the military has been notified that the student passed the course. When an MTA form is turned in, the college Veterans Office will defer (postpone) the payment deadline for the enrollment fees until payment is received from the military. The college normally receives payment 3-4 months after the end of the semester.
- If I fail a class, will MTA still pay for that class? No, students must pass each class, or the military will not pay for the class.
- Who do I contact if I have questions about MTA? Call the college Veterans Office at (949)582-4871

Rangers taking time for Murphy's return
Club wants slugger at 100 percent as ROY race goes to the wire
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
KANSAS CITY -- Rangers outfielder David Murphy is hoping to be ready to come off the disabled list by Sept. 1, when the rosters are expanded. Manager Ron Washington says it might be a little longer than that. Murphy did put his injured right knee through a strenuous test on Wednesday before the Rangers game with the Royals, and everything went well. Murphy, who is sidelined with a strained ligament in his right knee, did a variety of baserunning simulation drills, including rounding first base on a single, going from first to third, and tagging up on a sacrifice fly. "That's the hardest I've run," said Murphy, who injured the knee in an awkward slide into home plate on Aug. 6 against the Yankees. "It felt a little weak, but I think it's a step forward and definitely a good thing. We'll see how it responds tomorrow." Murphy was expected to be sidelined from between two and four weeks. It's now been three weeks and his return is near. The Rangers just want to make sure. "He still has some stuff to get done," Washington said. "I want Murphy to be right. I don't want it to linger. I don't want to make a move and have him come back until he's ready." Murphy said he felt he could play right now if he had to, but would prefer to wait until he's 100 percent. "There's no need to rush it," Murphy said. A quick return would help Murphy get back into a crowded Rookie of the Year race in the American League. He and Rays third baseman Evan Longoria were two leading candidates until they both went down with injuries about the same time. Longoria suffered a fractured right wrist on Aug. 7 and is also hoping to get back in September. He is hitting .278 with 22 home runs and 71 RBIs while Murphy is hitting .275 with 15 home runs and 74 RBIs. Other candidates have emerged among position players including White Sox infielder Alexei Ramirez, who is hitting .311 with 15 home runs and 59 RBIs. Two pitchers could also be prominent candidates: Tigers right-hander Armando Galarraga (12-4, 3.20) and Twins left-hander Glen Perkins, who is 11-3 with a 3.90 ERA. "I don't care about [the Rookie of the Year race]," Murphy said. "It's just something extra. When the season is over, it's something for the fans, it's something for fun. I'm not saying I wouldn't be honored if I won, but that's not my first priority."

Over the past 20 years we've spent many days riding and staying at various locations in West Virginia.
Many of you are familiar with the region. Canaan Valley, Snowshoe, Cass, Marlinton and points North, South, East & West.
We just came home from there this weekend and I've got to tell you that it's depressing, from a tourism/services standpoint.
Many of our favorite places are gone or simply falling into disrepair!
The Hermitage Motel in Durbin, Closed. Boyer Station Motel & Campground, restaurant closed, motel rooms way past WV tacky. Ryders Gas station & restaurant down the road closed. The Inn at Snowshoe, at the bottom of the mtn. on Rt. 66. Many years past needing an update, limited services at the bar, no full service restaurant on site......
Marlinton Motor Inn, same..........past due on a renovation leaning towards "I'm not staying there Honey"!
We stayed at the Brazenhead Inn this past weekend and they've got problems too.................
Ok, this is the campfire section of the forum. Any of you experiencing the same when you're in West Virginia.

The Basics
MLS All-Star team vs. Manchester United, 15th annual MLS All-Star Game
All-Time Record: This is the first match between the teams. The MLS All-Stars have won three times in four matches against teams from the English Premier League since 2005, losing only to Everton in penalty kicks in 2009.
TV info
8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT; ESPN2, Galavision
What's at stake
After dispatching Chivas, Celtic, West Ham United, and Chelsea in previous editions, the 2010 MLS All-Stars face one of the most successful clubs in the world in Manchester United.
The MLS lineup includes US World Cup hero Landon Donovan, 2008 league MVP Guillermo Barros Schelotto, past World Cup selections in Brian Ching, Edson Buddle and Bobby Convey and seven-time MLS All-Star Shalrie Joseph. LA Galaxy coach and former US national team boss Bruce Arena leads the group.
Manchester United are in the middle of their preseason preparations, and several players that participated in the World Cup will not be playing on Wednesday night. The Red Devils still boast a star-studded lineup with the likes of superstars Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Dimitar Berbatov and Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, who is the first Mexican player to sign with the Red Devils.
MLS All-Stars
The All-Stars enter the match having had only two practice sessions together. In addition, the All-Stars from both the LA Galaxy and Toronto FC will likely see limited action Wednesday due to CONCACAF Champions League matches on Tuesday.
"We have two days to prepare [and to] come together as team. We know it will be difficult," said Salt Lake keeper Nick Rimando. "We are all competitors when we cross this line and we want to win. We are representing our clubs and MLS."
With a sell-out very likely at Houston's Reliant Stadium, the coaches and players are looking forward to participating in a great event for the league.
"We're looking forward to the game," said All-Star assistant and Houston Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear. "It should be a wonderful crowd in a great stadium against one of the best teams in world football."
Manchester United
Manchester United are playing the fourth of their five-game North American tour. After victories over Scottish side Celtic and the Philadelphia Union, the Red Devils were defeated by the Kansas City Wizards 2-1 on Sunday evening at Arrowhead Stadium.
The good news for Manchester United is the return of midfielder Nani, who saw significant minutes in his first game back from injury on Sunday against Kansas City. Darren Fletcher and John O'Shea, however, may miss the match on Wednesday night due to the same injuries that held them out against Kansas City.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson won't take many risks with his injured players, but he is determined that his team start the match Wednesday night better than they did against Kansas City.
"I think we also have to think a little tactically so we don't give ourselves a problem starting the game," Ferguson said. "We didn't do that [against Kansas City] and we never started the game, and we gave ourselves problems from the start of the match."
Heroes & Villains
Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez v. Chad Marshall – While no one knows how much time Chicharito will get in his debut for Manchester United, the speed and talent displayed at the World Cup this summer should make the All-Stars wary of the Mexican forward. Marshall has been a rock all year for the Columbus Crew and one of the league's best defenders. Marshall and fellow All-Star Omar Gonzalez might be the foundation of a future US national team defense sure to face Hernandez and Mexico in the future.
Stat that makes you go "Hm…"
Three former MVPs of the MLS All-Star game are on the roster this year: Donovan (2001), Dwayne De Rosario (2006) and Juan Pablo Angel (2007). Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard is the only non-MLS player to win the award (2009) since MLS All-Stars began regularly playing international opponents in 2005.

In an unassuming house, on a quiet residential street in south London, a husband and wife are discovered imprisoned in their own home. Badly dehydrated, they've been bound and beaten. Worse still, their young son is missing. When DI Jack Caffery of the Met's AMIT squad is called in to investigate, the similarities to events in his own past make it impossible for him to view this new crime with the necessary detachment. As Jack attempts to hold his own life together in the face of ever more disturbing revelations, the real nightmare begins….
Horrifying, unforgettable, and intense, The Treatment is a novel that touches the raw nerve of our darkest imaginings.
©2011 Mo Hayder (P)2003 Isis Publishing Ltd
"Hayder's gory insights into the dark side are compelling." (Guardian)
"very good sequel to "birdman""
i bought this book after finishing bridman and i was not disappointed.
again, well-paced and excellent narration, and the primary topic is difficult to comprehend (i'm saying no more to avoid spoiling).
i would certainly recommend (for reference, i like robert crais (my favourite), steven dunne, christopher fowler, 'the killing' was immense, and nesbo's 'headbunters'.)
as i noted on my review of "birdman" i've now gone for "tokyo" as the reviews for the other jack caffery novels don't praise the (different) narrator.
"Far too long"
I enjoyed this book to a certain extent, but the explicit references to paedaphilia & sometimes quite graphic, was, I felt, not needed so much.. We got the idea what it was about at the beginning of the book. The book, in my mind was far too long & drawn out with the the narrator droning on & on, & I really felt I wanted him to hurry up a bit. Such a shame as I thought this would be a good buy....
"Fantastic "
I couldn't stop listening. Its a great (horrible) compelling story.
Good characters
Awful Scottish accent though, It felt quite comedic
And i know the subject matter is horrendous but i must say the amount of phlegm talk was , for me, quite stomach turning!
All in all a great story.
"Super Story, dodgy accent"
Great story line, kept me hooked to the last page. My only issue with the performance was the accent of Souness. No idea where she is supposed to have lived, the accent appears to have originated in the Dick Van Dyke School of Elocution
brilliant, dark, disturbing. Only one complaint: the narrator's Scottish accent is truly dreadful. Shame, otherwise fantastic.
"A must read!"
Dark, scary and so well written. It is a terrific book you need a hard skin to read it tho'.
"A grim tale but kept me listening"
Insightful, haunting, addictive
I have only just started reading this author and so would have to say 'Poppets' by the same author.
"Brilliant! The Mo Hayder books are so gripping."
Yes, because the story is so complex that there will be more to take in.
The characters are flawed and the story line is full of twists.
DI Caffrey
This is so different.
"Great writing, but beware visceral violence"
Mo Hayder is a considered detailed and really quite amazing genre writer. But in my view her stories are extremely violent, dark, disturbing and viscerally distressing. Not unlike JK Rowling's descriptions in The Silk Worm where the violence is alarming troubling and upsetting.

Hello everyone,
At my current job, my employer offers us bonuses based on our performance above and beyond the specifications of our work. Things like learning COM, or MSI technology, or Showing the team how to use VisualAssistX, etc. Anyway, I have seem to come to a road block in that I ran out of ideas for these bonuses. I literally Don't know what to research next.
I was wondering if the good members of Cboard could offer some ideas. Things like new technologies pertaining to either C++ or Win32 (or derivative - such as ATL or MFC, which I already learned) programming. Or even plugins to visual studio that can make life easier. I want to stay away from other languages since we don't use them in the shop (Although this may change in the future). We are a Windows based shop so all of our programming is done on Windows, using the API (Hence why I posted in this forum).
Things that I have learned/presented already:
- cppUnit (and general unit testing)
- MSI technology
- x86 Assembly
- VissualAssistX
- Design Patterns
- WinPE
- SVN vs CVS
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and it doesn't matter how outlandish they may be. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I should also say that this is not limited to Research. I can do coding projects as well (such as building a wrapper library for the team).

The best bet would be an addon to SC2, methinks...and that would probably exclude a campaign or rehash old stories. Since WoW is still in full swing, there's no reason to advance the series (since WoW can cover the lore), and since SC has been so popular, a Warcraft RTS would be a direct competitor with it. Not a great position for a full release, unfortunately.
What part of "they have already stated Titan will be all new IP" did you not understand?
CEO Mike Morhaime confirmed that it was a new game and not a sequel to any existing franchises

We in Hospitality need many volunteers for a 2-3 hr shift, trying to get enough so only 1 shift during entire rally. More if you so desire of course.
If interested email or pm me please and I will get back with you asap. Or you can just email the volunteer chairman and he can assign you by your preference. Either way, thanks for volunteering, people like you are what makes the rallies great.
Thanks for volunteering! Bouncin' Bob malehorn is coordinating all of the volunteer shifts. I'll let him know that he needs to check this thread.
Thanks again. See you soon.........

I'm on the seminar schedule but I'm flying in and can't bring any equipment. I am looking for a DVD player to use for two sessions on Thursday, something fairly new (there is so much incompatibility...) that will play a DVD-R (that reads as "DVD" "minus" "arrh") in broadcast format (mpeg). Susanna was asked to provide a projector and screen or large TV or whatever is needed at the seminar location (I don't know what the space is like, a building or an ag barn?), but with Matt's recent illness, I'm not sure what is taken care of and what isn't.
I'm looking for a contact person that can be my go-between to confirm onsite set up issues, since we are scheduled for first thing on Thursday, which doesn't leave a lot of time to find out I need to go to the local Wallymart and submit my credit card to a lot of charges.
Feel free to commit to the Hospitality offer you have, or email me and I'll hook you up.Originally Posted by tom42n

text: Fellow ADV Riders, More and more people riding dual sport and ADV are looking toward motocross boots for their increased protection. This is a good trend, however many MX boots, especially lower priced models, are far too stiff and cumbersome. Unfortunately, this often results in categorical dismissal of all MX boots. Some MX boots are much more livable than others. The key is in the weight, the shapes of the plastic, and their compound. These three models, at three separate price points, all are comfortable, light, supportive, and perform well. They also won't break the bank: The Gaerne GX-1 is THE standard for light MX boots. The Moose M1.2 Enduro is an Asian-made, but is better executed than any other entry level boots from every other brand we looked at. The Forma Terrain TX, made in Europe, is the newcomer, and features a full mechanical hinge at a lower price point than any other brand available. All are comfortable, light (about 1 lb more than Adventure Touring boots) and great for their respective price points.

Entering his sixth season, Joey Gathright is still refining the way he employs his raw speed on the field.
"It took me a while to really understand what I can do on a baseball field," Gathright told MLBPLAYERS.com in a recent Players Talk show. "Last year I finally realized all that stuff and tried to put it into the game, and this year I'm doing the same thing."
"It means a lot because if you know what type of player you are and it's something that teams worry about all the time, you can be a dominant player or somebody who can cause a lot of problems."
Gathright has been working with Royals first base coach Rusty Kuntz this offseason to improve his base stealing.
Returning from a season in which he raised his batting average from .262 to .307 and his on-base percentage from .332 to .371 as a part-timer, Gathright is hoping for even more opportunites to use that speed, too.
