So who do we want in the one game Wild Card, Houston or Texas? The answer is easy... and it's not the team it looks like we're going to get
Of course, there's two whole weeks to play, and - considering the icebergs still ahead for the Yankees - nobody's guaranteed of diddly-doo. Still, Girardi's Geriatrics have a 5-game lead (losses, that is) in the Wild Card, and Houston is up by one (loss) over Minnesota.
So... right now... it's Houston?
This is bad. This is really bad.
The reason is not Houston. It's Dallas. Not the city. The pitcher. Dallas Keuchel.
If the Astros finagle their rotation to fit Keuchel into the one game - well - it looks like a short post-season, comrades. This year, Keuchel has pitched two games against the Yankees. He has thrown 16 innings - (OK, let's do the math, two goes into sixteen, that's um, eight... eight innings per game, right?) - and in those two starts he has given up exactly ZERO runs. That's an ERA of exactly ZERO-POINT-ZERO-ZERO.
Friends, that's not "lights-out." That's Stygian darkness. That's black hole sun, won't ya come and wash away the rain, black hole sun, black hole sun, black hole sun. And it's no fluke. Keuchel might be the 2015 AL Cy Young winner. He's won 17. His ERA is 2.56. This is the last guy in the solar system - after maybe King Felix - we want to face in a one-day baseball game, beauty pageant or hotdog eating contest. We don't want this guy. Calgon Beauty Beads, take me away!
Now... OK, breathe... there's always the chance that Tanaka can match him - inning per inning - if we work our rotation so Masahiro gets the nod. But I spent the last three weeks planning to face face Texas - whose staff is deeper but with less of an ace - and now, MAYDAY. The Rangers would probably start Colby Lewis, who is also 2-0 against us this season. But he's lasted 12 innings in two starts - a 4.97 ERA - and if we can score five, I'll take my chances. Also, Cole Hamels, the guy they got at the deadline, hasn't thrown any no-hitters lately. His ERA - over eight games - is 4.04. Yeah, they have Prince Fielder, who absolutely kills us, but pardon me if I don't cringe.
And let's face it: The real reason we want Texas is revenge. We owe them a ziplock bag with a bloody foot in it. They cleaned our clocks a few years ago - back in our Lance Berkman era - (not that many current Yankees remember it.) We have unfinished business. They are on my black list. They must pay for their insolence! They must be taught a lesson, mwahahahaha!
Folks, Houston isn't the Astros. It's the asteroid. We don't want Houston. We don't need Houston. What we need is... hmm, wait a minute, there is another option out there...
HELLO, PHIL HUGHES! Hey, Minnesota, how about a win streak!

Wait a minute, the News fired Lupica and Madden? Whaaa?
My co-worker and long-time Mets fan thinks the Yankees will take two out of three this weekend. We have Tanaka tonight but I don't see it.
Hope he's right and I'm wrong.
The answer to the one-game wild card issue, of course, is not to have a one-game playoff, but instead to have a three-hour debate between the two teams. They'll be asked questions related to world events, immigration, financial policy and domestic programs, and near the end the closers will come in for the bonus round and questions on fundamentalist American Christians versus fundamentalist Middle Eastern Muslims. (The answer: ours have more guns, but they use theirs more.)

we still owe those Houston bastards for Roger Clemens.

Someone once asked Jeter a convoluted question about which team he'd rather face in the playoffs and why one team might be weaker or a better match. Jeter said: "Why would we want to play a weaker team?"
Now that we are a so-so team, we don't have that kind of attitude any more. But I'm really happy that after paying no estate taxes on a 10 figure estate, the Steinbrenner brothers have saved so much money this year!!!
- September 18, 2015 at 10:27 AM
you don't understand ceeja. it benefits all of society that the steinspawn pay no taxes. if they had to pay taxes, they wouldn't be able to do so much for the everyday Americans they love so much. so when you pay your property taxes, be happy in the thought that you pay so the steinspawn don't have to!

It never fails to amaze me just how good a bacon, craisin, feta cheese spinach salad with lemon juice/olive oil dressing can be.
A memory from my spring break: one night over supper, conversation wandered into the job market. I said I hated writing resumes because I feel like I am perfecting the art of white lies in writing something that people never really look at. Dad said, "You know what you need to do? You should go in, say 'I'm hearing impaired. If you don't hire me, I'll sue.'"
This is particularly funny because I wonder if that's how some places would see me. Would I only be hired just to boost their employee ratio--you know, that minority, female, disability percentage? Would employers look for any possible excuse to not consider me because of my impairment?

Okay, I have this spammer/troll who likes to comment on certain posts of mine with an advertisement for a weight loss website. She/he/it seems to think that I'm going to post its comment advocating diet/exercise/drugs for weight loss. This is in spite of the anti-diet anti-WLS No Diet talk Fat Acceptance Blog banner on the sidebar.
What part of Fat Acceptance, No Diet Talk, Anti-diet, Anti-weight loss do you moronic spammers not understand? Can you not read and understand what you've read? Or is it that 2 seconds after you've read something, you've forgotten it? Reading comprehension skillz, you don't haz dem.
I've dieted, I've tried the so-called diet drugs, I've tried WLS. None of it worked for permanent weight loss, EVER. If you bothered to read anything I've written, you would know how I feel about all 3 of those topics and you wouldn't waste your time (and mine) asking me to point my readers to sites that advocate that foolishness. You are evidently a lot more stupid than you obviously think I am if you think I'm going to advance your agenda of shilling shit that doesn't work just so you can get money out of fat peoples' pockets.
So, luccy, whoever the fuck you are, you can quit spamming me because none of your comments will ever see the light of day on my blog. It's a waste of your time and internet bandwidth to keep trying.
Oh, and just FYI, "the shackles of obesity" are not binding me, however, "the shackles of ignorance" are binding you quite tightly.

Thankful Thursday - October 25, 2012
This week I'm thankful for milk - or more specifically, the ability to make milk. I know that for whatever reason, a lot of women aren't able to breastfeed. I also know that a lot of women aren't able to get enough milk to feed their baby when they pump. I'm lucky that I'm able to pump and get good volume for my baby, because my skin is simply too sensitive for her to get it from the source. Where many would have just given up, I decided to pump my milk.
Honestly, it was mostly because I hate the way formula smells and also because I am cheap. Formula costs a FORTUNE! The fact that breast milk is the most awesome thing for babies is just a happy bonus. :)
I'm thankful that not only am I able to make milk, and able to get a good amount with my pump, but that I get ample amounts. Let me describe to you how my "breast fed" child gets fed, shall I?
First I pump the milk. Next, I pour it into these little 2 oz plastic containers and put it in the fridge. When the milk gets cold, the fat separates in the bottle. It's kind of like when you refrigerate soup; the fat rises to the top and thickens. The more fat in my diet, the thicker the layer of fat on the top of my bottles. When it's time to feed the baby, we take a teeny spoon and carefully scoop the fat from the top of the plastic container and into the baby's bottle. (Yes, it's totally as gross as it sounds. The fat is the consistency of yogurt.) We then use a medicine syringe to take only the top, fattiest part of the milk from the plastic container and add that to the bottle as well. The thinnest part of the milk at the bottom half gets poured down the drain.
That's right - to make a five ounce bottle for the baby to drink, I need to pour about five ounces of pumped milk down the drain. This is at every feeding. I'll let that sink in for a moment. If you've ever pumped milk, you'll know how hard that is to do!
So not only am I able to pump enough milk for the baby to drink, I'm able to pump an equal amount that gets poured down the drain, and I have enough. If I didn't, she wouldn't be getting those extra calories that she needs since she's STILL not gaining weight as fast as the pediatrician would like.
Also, in addition to the milk she drinks and the milk down the drain, this is what the stash in my freezer looks like:
There are ten 7oz bags of milk in each gallon Ziplock, and they're piled two deep in there. That's approximately 1050 ounces of milk you're looking at here. This is not counting the bags in the house freezer. I keep them there until I have ten then they're moved into the deep freeze in the garage. I've only been pumping for four months.
Even more amazing? I've donated 980 ounces of milk so far this month alone. Since the baby's been born, I've donated almost 1700 ounces total. I'm thankful that I am able to share this gift with others who have adopted but still want to feed their child breast milk, or who are unable to make enough milk on their own for whatever reason. I love knowing that I'm able to do something good for these babies, even if I don't know them personally.
Wanna see something crazy?

It's Thursday October 17, and the sun has already set.
As day quickly turns to night outside, what remains of the students of San Jose State University slowly scatter indoors to attend whatever night plans they have, be it evening club meetings or evening classes. It's a common sight to see a few strays wandering about on their early evening walks, whether its exercise or just for the sake of enjoying the cool autumn weather.
Tonight wouldn't be one of those nights for the fine folks of SJSU's Game Development Club.
Inside Room 213 of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Public Library, a crowd of students are huddled around their laptops and 3DSes, busy playing computer games for the sake of charity. In one side of the massive room, piles upon piles of junk food lay scattered on top of several tables, a junk food buffet composed of whatever munchies one could possibly imagine save for a couple of popular energy drinks. On the other end of the room, a group of four students are busy playing a quick round of Project M, a popular modification for Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Doug, an employee from a nearby used game store, is discussing today's Nintendo Direct with a fifth-year student named Casey. Both are expressing disappointment over the announcement of Mewtwo as a DLC character for players who owned both versions of the latest title, something that might be considered to be ridiculous to pay for as extra DLC.
"All I'm just saying is that people shouldn't have to pay for two games just for the sake of DLC," Doug mutters. "It's crazy that Nintendo would consider such marketing tactics to be ethical."
"Who cares?" Casey replies. "It's just business."
While the guys are keeping themselves busy, most of the attention is drawn towards the front of the room, where three large projector screens sit. Two of them are dominated by footage of Black Ice, a Steam Early Access title that the game's developer Garrett Cooper is streaming with a member of the Game Dev club. Garrett claims that the game is "a Cyberpunk FPS RPG thing about computer hacking with elements of hack and slash games." It resembles a cross between Tron and Dejobaan Games' A Reckless Disregard for Gravity. There are also neon spiders involved.
In front of those screens is programmer Daniel Evans, busy blasting away at random baddies with his shotgun. He's been spending the past hour streaming the latest Borderlands title on his Twitch page, hoping to drum up some additional viewers for attention/charity. Nearby is Angelica Cabanlit, the club's president. She just announced that she was going to head back to her apartment to pick up a costume for later. Apparently, she and her boyfriend Byron were going to stream BattleBlock Theater the following day while cosplaying as Sora and Shiro, the protagonists of a popular anime called No Game No Life. She seems a little frustrated.
At this point, you might be wondering to yourself why I would be spending my time documenting this informal LAN Party of sorts. You could say it's out of curiosity.
The Game Developer's Club was formed back in fall 2007 by faculty advisor John Pierre and student Edgar Miranda, who went on become the club's first president.
"Membership was kind of in flux that first year," recalls Pierre in an interview. "Back then, most of our members came from the Shrunken Head Man (SJSU's animation/illustration club) as well as some new media art majors. Over time we got some heavy Computer Science majors and art majors. Now it's pretty much composed of students interested in Computer Engineering."
"And how many games would usually come out of this?" I asked.
"Depends how major or how small you want to count it," replies Pierre. "I feel like usually about six or seven fully fleshed out games come out of semester on average. It's probably more now because we have grown a lot in the last year, but every now and then they'll be game jams where people put out as many games as possible in 24 hours."
"Such as?"
"Pirate Cart, Glorious Train Wrecks, Global Game Jam, you know, that kind of thing."
In addition to game jams, the club has played host to a variety of guests in the indie game field, ranging from programmers such as Braid creator Jonathan Blow and Ian Stalker of Escape Goat fame, to even the lead sound designer behind FTL. They've also received visits from Blizzard Entertainment and Cryptic Studios, and have even visited the Game Developers Conference on a number of occasions.
"Those trips are semi-sponsored by the Associated Students, so they would usually give us a set sum, split based on the number of people interested in attending," he explains. "Because so many people want to go, it's become more of a discount, really."
Six years later, this is the first time they've ever actually attempted an Extra Life stream. And so far, the atmosphere feels really laid back, for now at least.
As the night rolls on, the crowd continues to party well into the night, still high on what could probably be attributed to a mixture of coffee and soda. The air smells of blood, sweat, and tears, most likely due to the ever growing groups of people playing Super Smash Bros in the far left end of the room. Replacing Daniel is a different girl, attempting speedruns through Portals 1 & 2.To mark the occasion, she even goes so far as to cosplay the game's protagonist, Chell, complete with a working portal gun prop. She appears to be doing rather well, garnering a respectable amount of views and donations.
Eventually, the party atmosphere begins to die down, with students starting to retire to sleep in another classroom across the hall. Of course, sleeping in a classroom feels kind of weird, lying down on the cold hard floor, trying to get a few winks in, and yet still with the thought of gaming fresh on your mind. Not many people seemed to have any use of the room during the first couple of hours, though around three am, the room started to show signs of use.
Back in the main room, it's pretty clear that the noise levels have started to die down. No longer is there a loud roar like before; instead, it's become more of a low buzz. The streamers in the room across from us have now moved on to horror games, and are playing through Alien: Isolation in the dark. It's funny trying to watch these kids try to mimic the likes of Markplier and PewDiePie, seeing them lose their shit over the sudden appearance of a random Xenomorph from out of nowhere and cuddle into a ball of fear and shock.
At the center of the room, a group of students have gathered around a makeshift table to play a round of Star Munchkin, a popular card game that's usually played by anyone who is usually not distracted with Cardfight Vanguard or whatever other TCG that's big these days. I have no idea who is winning or losing, but the game appears to be rather lively, if not a little tiring. I think I saw the Portal streamer from earlier playing in this round, though I can't be sure in my drowsy state. I'm already half-asleep, and I decide to head back to my sleeping bag for some additional shuteye.
The first time Angelica joined the Game Dev club, she randomly entered the room based on a friend's recommendation. "I would usually hang out there for a while," she recalls. "We used to have sixteen members and we'd usually hang out around the student union prior to the renovations."
According to John Pierre, the Club has gone through a variety of presidents over the years, most of whom are voted on each year via election. Initially the club had governing board of sorts, but it didn't become fully functional until fall 2008.
As for becoming the club president, that idea seemed a bit too good to be true: "One day, Gavin was all like 'You should be president!' and I was all like 'Okay!' and that's what happened. Now, we're at about almost 100-plus members meeting on a weekly basis."
As a new day breaks over campus, what was once a wave of busy excitement has turned into something of a hangover.
Getting out of the sleeping bag, I feel extremely exhausted, no thanks to the fact that I've woken up at least two or three times over the night. It also doesn't help that the floor was rather uncomfortable, a giant spillproof rug similar to the ones you'd might encounter at a regular office.
Stepping back into Room 213, the crowd is in a similar predicament, the room empty save for at least seven or eight people. The rest were probably asleep, no doubt exhausted from the five-hour Munchkin game that occurred earlier. It's strange, really, seeing the room in somewhat of a dilapidated mess: laptops still on, people slowly walking about like the undead. It's like waking up to the post apocalypse, expect that everyone is hung over from that massive party that went all night, which has turned their brains into the equivalent of scrambled eggs with swiss cheese on rye.
Several hours later, and after a filling breakfast, the room is back in full swing, sort of.
Some of the students have begun packing up their gear, while others have jumped back onto their laptops for another LAN session in Minecraft
Angelica is panicked by the fact that her wig is not straight enough, and is in dire need of some gel. In about thirty minutes, she and Byron are going to stream Battleblock Theater, and she's something in a mixed state of panic and excitement. "I think she is over preparing herself," replied Byron, dressed as Sora.
In the end, the team managed to make $1025 via donations, a commendable amount for a first-time stream, but low compared to the likes of some of the more famous faces who dominated this year's streams. The experience was rather exciting, with the party atmosphere providing a liveliness of sorts, tempered only by the fact that I was unable to get enough sleep. Nevertheless, I would love to come back next year, and look forward to seeing what the team has in store for the next Extra Life.

Everything Beiber!
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Teen singer Justin Bieber has admitted he has a crush on Harry Potter babe Emma Watson.
Bieber, 16, recently revealed his love for the older lady when he said his perfect girlfriend would be Cheryl Cole.
He has now said he would love to take Watson, 20, out on a date.
He said: "I would love to take her out for dinner. It would be great if she could come to one of my concerts, then we could hang out afterwards.
"I love the fact she is one of the biggest female movie stars, but has chosen to go back to college. It shows she is really grounded and normal."
Watson is said to be dating model George Craig.

We predict: he'll flirt with Sebelius for the female vote. But who will he save the last dance for and take home? Evan Bayh. There's liberal glam and power in the Birch Bayh family name, and Obama knows it.
Bayh--Birch--saved Ted Kennedy's life. Caroline Kennedy is leading Obama's selection group.
Bayh--Birch--was the Senate's principal co-sponsor of the Equal Rights Amendment, an act that can be spun up into coin of the realm with Hillary Clinton voters. Althugh Bayh--Evan--is labeled a "centrist", the old adage of "the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree" will come into play.
Bayh--Birch--lost his presidential nominee chances to later-President Jimmy Carter. In essence, the party owes him one.
And, Bayh is a liberal's liberal. The Bayh name linkage to old-school liberalism will create a solid bond with long-time liberals and Obama's far leftist supporters.
Big daddy Bayh has clout, name recognition, and long-time, deep pocket backers. Many of those have been passed on to son Evan, along with his newer generation supporters.
The Bayh wing of the Democratic Party is large and very well-furnished with oversized liberal, wealthy Democratic antiques. Obama won't risk his run on a woman, nor a lesser-known Democrat who's still basically putting his house together with goods from the political version of Target stores.
Obama will go for the gold, in terms of name, prestige, power, money, and overall recognition value. Just as the Kennedys crowned Obama the successor to JFK, a Bayh pick for VP will firmly bobby pin that crown in place.

When the sun is shining, do you go out and soak it up? Or do you think about the drought and wish for rain?
When the birds are singing, do you open the windows and enjoy their songs? Or do you close the windows and gripe about the noise?
When your kids are laughing, do you join in with them and act silly and goofy? Or do you ask them to be quiet and take their laughter somewhere else?
When your spouse says they miss you, do you clear your schedule and hug them and let them know that you miss them, too? Or do you say that you're sorry that you're busy but you just don't think you can spare the time because you're on a deadline?
When you receive a beautiful message from the universe, do you embrace it and act on it? Or do you ignore it and say that you aren't ready or you are too afraid?
When your favorite song comes on the radio, do you stop what you're doing to sing and dance? Or do you not even hear it because you're so wrapped up in your thoughts?
When you accomplish a goal that you've long been striving for, do you take time to celebrate and acknowledge this job well done? Or do you immediately move onto the next goal?
Out of all of these scenarios, neither choice is right and neither choice is wrong. But each choice leads us down a certain path. And when we continue choosing one way or another, we'll find that the choices begin to look alike.
If we consistently choose the first option in the examples above, our lives will most likely be joyful and filled with gratitude and expansiveness.
If we consistently choose the second option in the examples above, our lives will most likely feel grayer and more constricted – less full of life and possibility.
We all are faced with so many little choices each day. And how we react to each situation that we experience creates our life.
We each get to decide which path we'll choose. Which option to choose.
And those that we choose consistently become our existence.
I think that's pretty wonderful that we have so much power and control over our life. We can't control what comes into our life, but we can control our reaction to it – our mindset about it. And I love that.
It is possible to consistently choose the first option in the examples above. And it is possible to be happy and filled with joy and gratitude.
The choice is ours. It always has been.
Does that mean that our life is perfect? No.
Does that mean that everything always falls into place and nothing bad ever happens? No.
Does that mean that we will immediately embrace each new experience and see it as a blessing? No.
But it does mean that when we shift our mindset to one of expansion, love, and possibility, over time we begin to see our world differently. We begin to focus on the positive and on the good. We begin to see love all around us.
It doesn't mean that we never are in a bad mood or we never feel down. It just means that our overall focus is on love and possibility and gratitude.
That's all. Sometimes the most powerful shifts are the simplest ones. Sometimes it's just one single choice made over and over again that determines our life and our happiness.
So as you're going through your day and you're faced with a choice, I invite you to choose love and possibility. I invite you to just try it and see how your life changes because of it.
I have a feeling it will be pretty amazing.

Make Hay While the Sun Shines
~ Decide how you want to use them. Will they be preserved in oil, vinegar, alcohol, or dried? Gather the supplies that you plan on using. A nice supply of ½ pint, pint and/or quart mason jars (with lids) is good to have, but hopefully you've been saving jars during the year..
In the spring, I purchase about a gallon of vodka. There is always lots of olive oil and jojoba here for Soapmaking, but I get good vinegar ready too.
~Stake out your means of drying the herbs. Some small flowers like chamomile and elder do very well on a screen, as do calendula petals. Other plants are great to hang upside down in a dark, well ventilated space. I was just reading about the success some are having putting their herbs in paper bags, and leaving them in the car on a hot day – it dries them quickly with very little loss of color.
I have a banister with brads along the one side to hang the bunches. Find a good, out-of-the-way spot, and prepare it for the harvest.
Now you're ready. Make hay while the sun shines. I try to do something every day. At the moment, my kitchen counter is lined with jars of vinegars and tinctures. Lavender bunches are hanging all over the place. The oils are infusing down at the soap shed.
Right now the chamomile is being infused in alcohol. I pick and add some new ones every day as they reach the right stage. The elderflowers are starting to drop from the plant, so I go out with a newspaper and hold it underneath while giving it a gentle shake.
Sage is soaking in vinegar, and jewelweed and plantain are going into oil and vinegar. The oil is frozen for use in soaps over the winter.
But you know, I'll still miss some. It never fails. Rain will come and make it difficult to harvest something that is precisely at the point of now or never. Vacations happen. In the long run, if you have some of them, you'll probably wind up having what you need. The important part is starting. If at first you find that 2 of your preserved herbs helped keep your family comfortable over the winter, you've had a successful year. Next year will be better, and so it will go until you know exactly what you need each year.
Oh and be sure to do some things that are good for today. The cobbler below is half raspberries that we found along a fence row, and half peach. Delish!!! The recipe is Here... I just doubled it up and used a large pan. It was for the 4th of July picnic, and it went fast!

Hi Tina!
Just wanted you to know that the second picture you posted (the labeled bottles, the blue bottles, the hanging herbs, the lavender wand) looks just like it could have been taken in my mom's (Bertha Reppert) house so many years ago! The eclectic mix of bottles, each labeled, the drying herbs... what a beautiful memory to see this morning! She would love to see what you are doing!
And, that mixed cobbler photo - wow! How do you decide which side to enjoy first? Looks yummy!

Well its been a month since I've posted and have done several great races to tell about. But I do believe that October has wore me out. I was NOT prepared physically or mentally at all. I've almost let it get the best of me. However today is a whole new day (well tomorrow actually) and I am a firm believer in the only person that can help yourself is YOURSELF!! I am the one who got into this shape and I AM the one who has to believe in myself and WANT things for myself! In 2008 I lost 40 pounds all on my own, not following any certain diet or program just making changes and going to the gym. In 2009 the weight started creeping back on and I became a runner! 2012 I focused on really being a decent runner and made tons of personal progress that I even became proud of myself. Things happen and now here I am today....needing to loose tons of weight and focus again on being the best runner that I KNOW I CAN BE!
Any good thoughts and positive vibes you can send my way are and will be appreciated ! Sweets are my weakness !!
Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with a race recap.
Run Happy;)

I missed the hearings because, you know, I work. But I had not heard this information about the reaction of State department experts on Susan Rice lying on five Sunday morning news programs:
In a series of e-mails shown by Jordan, experts in the State Department's Near East Affairs Bureau are shown reacting dubiously to Rice's claim. "I think Rice was off the reservation on this one," one wrote. "Off the reservation on five networks!" another responded. Another e-mail said the "WH [was] very worried about the politics. This was all their doing."It was two months before the election and the narrative was that Al-Qaeda was "decimated" so, in classic Clinton-style, it was time to lie for the greater good.

Why is Going Not Indexing My Blog
Here is a simple reason why google was not indexing my blog post for the past two WEEKS! I hope you just read and DON'T ever try it out on your blog, except you want your blog deindexed. I was thinking really hard, and Just some seconds ago, I discovered why my contents wasn't indexed. I hope other will learn from this: I edited the robot.txt to disallow: /search Forgetting that my menus are linked using the tags. So all my menus are like myblog.com/search/tag I hope others would learn from this and Never edit/enable the robot.txt. Thanks For More details about SEO, click here

The top floor of United Talent Agency looks the part with its expansive glass-walled offices, chic artwork and an army of fashionably dressed agents working deals for the likes of Harrison Ford.
And then there are the four guys toiling downstairs.
"This is it," says Jason Nadler, 28, waving at a crowded space that would barely cut it as a waiting room upstairs. Here, Nadler and Ryan Reber, 28, Barrett Garese, 27, and Jon Zimelis, 27, scour the Internet daily for The Next Big Thing in entertainment and pop culture.
In these dorm-room-style digs — unused foosball table, joke poster of O.J. Simpson — the young scouts who make up the talent agency's 2-year-old Web division, UTA Online, have been feverishly signing up dozens of digital mavericks in hopes of finding that rare bright light who can build a lucrative entertainment enterprise.
"There's a huge cultural change going on out there," Nadler says. "The model of how people consume their entertainment is totally up in the air."
That's not the only thing up for grabs. The foundation of Hollywood's dominance in pop culture and the entertainment industry is being threatened by the democratizing force of the Internet, which posits that anyone with a snappy idea and a video camera can dish up features to the masses.
As a result, top Hollywood agencies such as UTA, Endeavor and Creative Artists Agency are diligently mining the Web for raw talent. The process quickly has become as crucial to entertainment talent scouts as trawling smoky comedy clubs or screening obscure movies has been for generations.
Meanwhile, network executives are busy signing deals with online content producers with a knack for wooing audiences with short attention spans. This month, CBS brought on EQAL founders Miles Beckett and Greg Goodfried, the duo behind the first successful Web serial, LonelyGirl15, to help create unique extensions of CBS shows for the Web.
"The media companies know they will ignore this trend at their peril," says Larry Gerbrandt, principal with Media Valuation Partners, a consulting firm that advises entertainment companies. "The Internet is what cable TV was two decades ago. At first, the big guys balked at it. Now, they own it."
There are bargains to be had
There are some encouraging signs for the executives diving into an unpredictable world of entertainment fueled largely by the whims of twentysomethings:
•For companies used to spending millions of dollars on talent and programs, the Web is a bargain on both fronts.
"For what you spend on one TV pilot, you could do an endless online serial," Gerbrandt says.
Precise budgets are rarely discussed by talent agencies or networks, but producers agree a two-minute video can be made for a few thousand dollars.
"The beauty of the Web is that you can easily test an idea and move on," Gerbrandt says.
•Although media companies of all types continue to wrestle with how to make money from the Web, money is flowing into that part of the entertainment industry at a time when TV and film are finding it increasingly difficult to capture audiences.
Online advertising spending is projected to double to $50 billion by 2012, according to forecasting group eMarketer.
"There's no question this is a new and valued marketplace," says Lori Schwartz, director of Interpublic Group's Emerging Media Lab, which advises Web advertisers. "The convergence of broadcast and broadband will really make this big."
Well, maybe — if the Web can become a reliable source of watchable programming.
Right now, however, "it's nothing more than a flea market," Schwartz says, using a description that is a favorite among those studying the Web entertainment space. "There are lots of content producers and lots of sites begging you to hang around. But to find anything good really takes digging."
Even when an Internet video is a success among the masses, it doesn't mean it will be a marketing success that can be copied.
Consider the all-time king of YouTube clips, Evolution of Dance, which features motivational speaker Judson Laipply grooving through various dance crazes. It has been viewed a staggering 85 million times, but apart from perhaps boosting Laipply's speaking commitments, the video has not made its protagonist a mainstream star or a mountain of money.
Another example is comedian Will Ferrell's site, FunnyOrDie.com. It routinely showcases the work of talented A-list and amateur jokers, but the portal has yet to laugh all the way to the bank. The reason? An onslaught of competitors.
"There are 1,700 sites and counting that offer Web video content, and because that group is fragmenting, few sites are emerging as true destinations," says Chad Cooper of OVGuide.com, which studies the online video phenomenon. "As for what people will go to the Web to watch, there's still a discovery process going on."
That's why some of the giants in the entertainment world are treading carefully. In February, Disney launched Stage 9 Digital Media, whose sole mission is to generate original online-only content. It's debut offering was Squeegees, a series about window washers that was created by an L.A. foursome dubbed Handsome Donkey.
"We want to see if we can re-create the TV model on the Internet," says Handsome Donkey's Aaron Greenberg.
"Admittedly, we have a more run-and-gun style than what you normally see on television."
Not just 'skateboard wipeouts'
The style doesn't matter if the work is compelling, says former Disney chief turned Web entrepreneur Michael Eisner.
"Ultimately, what will win out on the Web is story-driven content," says Eisner, whose new-media studio, Vuguru, has produced the popular online series Prom Queen. It's a horror saga geared toward teens and young adults who want their entertainment in short (typically about two minutes), frantically paced episodes.
Eisner's newest offering is an episodic prequel to a forthcoming book by Robin Cook called Foreign Body. About 50 two- to three-minute videos soon will begin appearing online daily, stopping the day before the book's Aug. 5 release. The Web episodes are the work of Cook and UTA clients Big Fantastic, another quartet of friends whose Web work is leading them into the mainstream.
The group, which produced Prom Queen, also has plans to team up with Charlie's Angels director McG to create the online mystery drama Sorority Forever for TheWB.com, Warner Bros' online resurrection of its defunct WB television network.
"We want to grab a piece of land in this space and pioneer it, legitimize it," says Chris Hampel of Big Fantastic, whose attitude is echoed by a declaration on its website: "We believe Web video won't be limited to skateboard wipeouts."
Hoping to capitalize on that same episodic trend is Brent Weinstein, UTA Online's former chief who last year started 60Frames.com, which has a commitment from Oscar-winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen to produce short features for the Web. Weinstein's current feature is Blood Cell, a Web-only horror thriller starring Jessica Rose.
In 2006, Rose was the star of the LonelyGirl15 online series, which began in 2006 with Rose posing as a video blogger who mused about her family and life as a teenager. Many viewers mistook Rose for a real blogger until a few viewers, suspicious about the blog's relatively slick production, outed her as an actress who was part of a production backed by Creative Artists Agency.
"Online entertainment is as different from TV as TV is from film," says Weinstein, whose company aims to have 50 Web series in production by the end of the year. "When you're telling stories in two-minute bursts, it's much more like a comic strip that you come back to day after day to see what happens. Not everyone can do it, but slowly we'll figure out who the Aaron Sorkins of the Web storytelling world are."
Great tales also are what ultimately should bring in the bucks, whether they feature unknown faces or tabloid regulars, says Interpublic's Schwartz.
"Advertisers will want variety. Some like the idea of signing up with online fare produced by big stars, while others prefer to be associated with edgier sites that might be discovering new talent," she says. "The question is which business model will ultimately work."
Talent agencies are covering both those bases. Among other things, the agencies are steering established writers and actors toward online projects that ensure broad exposure.
"The level of interest in this space by our A-list clients is expanding," says Chris Jacquemin, head of the Endeavor agency's digital department. He cites a deal Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane made to create a series of Web shorts to run on Google.
'To us, it's big bucks'
Endeavor recently signed Brandon Hardesty, a 21-year-old mimic from Maryland whose re-enactments of scenes from famous films have become hits on YouTube. But the Hardestys of the Web world are rare.
"Just because we now have the Internet, it doesn't mean there's more talent out there. In fact, it's as finite as ever," says Michael Yanover, head of business development at CAA. "We're looking for people whose talent works across many platforms, not just online."
CAA has helped to launch several video portals; it partnered with Ferrell and Silicon Valley's Sequoia Capital to start FunnyOrDie.
Says Yanover: "The Internet's emerging talent is where the future lies."
An example: David Young, 25, and Joey Manderino, 23. The two buddies from Indiana started their own website two years ago as a repository for the videos they had starting making while in college.
After developing a following on websites such as CollegeHumor.com and YouTube, the duo was signed by CAA. The result: Besides a deal with Warner Bros, the two are writing a comedy pilot for TBS with the support of fellow CAA clients Mitch Hurwitz (Arrested Development) and Eric and Kim Tannenbaum (Two and a Half Men).
"It's especially cool to have more support for our online work," Manderino says. "The budgets per episode are modest, four figures. But hey, before that, we were paying to do this out of our own pocket. To us, it's big bucks."
There's another reason Young and Manderino feel fortunate: The number of amateurs hoping to be discovered by Web talent scouts has mushroomed during the past year, making it increasingly difficult to catch an agent's eye.
"The Web's almost oversaturated with videos now," Manderino says. "It's getting really hard to stand out."
Vetting the videos
At UTA Online's office, Nadler cues up an episode of Bus Pirates, the work of a group of prospects whose online video skits imagine what it would be like for commuters to run into pirates on the Los Angeles bus system. The clip is clever, but the UTA crew doesn't quite see it as a winner.
A few minutes later, the UTA guys are united in their admiration for another video. Called Duck Tales, it features the bouncy theme song from a Disney cartoon featuring Scrooge McDuck and his brood. But the darkly outrageous scenes that unfold feature a female duck who is kidnapped, bound, tormented and returned to the front steps of her uncle's mansion.
To the UTA crew the clip is funny — and a source of frustration. Fatal Farm, the L.A.-based duo that produced the video, has resisted UTA's overtures to sign a deal.
"We're working on something right now, and prefer to talk later rather than get distracted," says Fatal Farm's Zach Johnson, 25.
That attitude might seem foolish to some. But it's a sign of confidence that springs from taking a look around at Hollywood's changing landscape.
Just ask the Handsome Donkey gang, whose group meeting places have gone from coffee shops and living rooms to offices within the Disney empire.
"When we first started getting attention, people would say, 'Hey, you've got a great steppingstone into the world of real entertainment,' " Greenberg says. "But from Day 1, we never felt the Internet was some sort of proving ground.
"It's a new platform, period."

Things I'm Thankful For Today:
-That I'll be sitting down for a meal later today with all four of my grandparents who are still running around and having a fine time.
-Game 7 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals. Game 7 of the 2000 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. Game 5 of the 1998 Eastern Conference First Round Playoff Series.
-The POSSIBILITY that Isiah Thomas could be fired soon. Maybe even tomorrow. Even if it is not likely it is still possible and for that I am thankful.
-Endy's catch. I was there.
-That David Stern rigged the NBA Draft Lottery in 1985.
-The Dunk.
-The chance to attend so many Knicks games when I was kid. I'm very thankful for all those nights that started out with dinner at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant called The Print Room in Hackensack, NJ. Hamburger with fries. The hamburger was usually a little over done and the fries were those thick "steak fries." And, then off to MSG with my dad, my grandfather and my uncle.
-The 4-point play.
-That for one afternoon all of New York and New Jersey and Connecticut will be rooting for the same football team: The Jets. As a Jets fan in a family full of Giants fans it will make the day go a bit smoother. Of course, they'll all be blaming me after the 'Boys roll over Gang Green.
-That Guillermo Mota is history. The Mets traded this horrorshow yesterday for the artist formerly known as Johnny Estrada. Addition by Subtraction.
-That Trent Tucker hit that shot to beat Chicago before they invented the Trent Tucker Rule.
-That my sister, Sarah, made it home from New Mexico for Thanksgiving.
-Anthony Mason, Xavier McDaniel, Kurt Thomas and every crazy-eyed and hard-nosed player who has donned a Knicks uniform.
-Game 5 of the 1990 NBA Playoff Series between the Knicks and the Celtics. Ewing and Bird each scored 31, but Patrick lead the Knicks over the C's with a memorable three-point shot in the deciding game of this series.
-That the Knicks found Gus Johnson after they shamefully fired Marv Albert. The only way Thanksgiving could be better was if Gus was at our table and announcing the meal. And, "Marilyn PASSES the sweet potatoes! OOH! This IS Thanksgiving!"
-Gerald Wilkens, Kenny "Sky" Walker, Johnny Newman and every other good Knick who gets forgotten.
-All of the food that I'll be eating in a few hours and the great nap that I'm going to take afterwards.
-And of course, I'm thankful for June 27, 1988. On this day the New York Knickerbockers traded Bill Cartwright and some draft picks for Charles Oakley and some draft picks. Oak was three seasons out of Virginia Union and the inside presence that the Knicks needed to pair with Ewing. Say what you want about Rick Pitino as an NBA coach but this was an inspired move. It is one of the best days of an era that is finally starting to be recognized for how good it actually was.

Only two more weeks until October General Conference. I love General Conference. I've said it multiple times, and I'm sure the number of posts around here about Conference, referring to conference, or quoting conference talks proves it. I am a General Conference junkie. I can't get enough. I even downloaded every General Conference that is available (back to 1974 I believe) on my iPhone so that I can have General Conference at my finger tips.
That also means that after this week there are only two more weeks of General Conference book Club before the new session starts up in October. And, much as I have loved hosting GCBC, due to Stephanie's return from sabbatical General Conference Book Club will be returning to Diapers and Divinity after October Conference. I told Stephanie that honestly I was excited for her return, because while I have really enjoyed hosting General Conference Book Club, I much prefer being a participant on her blog. I like writing lengthy posts and linking to them in the comment section on her blog. What can I say, I like being long winded. I also like not having to remember to blog every Sunday (and if you've been around you'll know that I don't remember to blog every Sunday… and this post is no exception).
So, without further ado, here is Elder Neil L. Andersen's conference talk -
What were your thoughts about Elder Andersen's talk?

In the book, the ball has a black thread wrap and the roses are pink. A nice combination but since the holidays are just around the corner, I couldn't resist stitching in Christmas colors. This is a combination 8 division temari that is a part of the Level 4 (Master) curriculum of the Japan Temari Association.

WANG WEN: Experimental Post-Rock Unit To Release Ninth Studio AlbumSweet Home, Go! is the stunning ninth studio album from Chinese experimental post-rock unit WANG WEN
Sweet Home, Go! is the stunning ninth studio album from Chinese experimental post-rock unit WANG WEN. Set for release on CD and vinyl formats this Fall via Pelagic Records, Sweet Home, Go! was written over the past three years and completed in early January under the supervision of producers Wouter and Lode Vlaminck. The new experience of working with external and European producers forged a fine balance between the creative yearning to explore new threads, contradictions, conflicts, and the producers' desire for clarity. The resulting tracks -- including an a cappella track recorded in an abandoned factory -- sees WANG WEN surpassing themselves and continuing their seventeen-year-long journey to understand themselves and the outside world through their music. This ambitious voyage has brought them tremendous success in their home country of China, where the band has been selling out 1500-capacity venues on their recent tour.
"Over the last few years, it feels like time has been spinning out of control. As time speeds by, it makes people feel an indescribable excitement but also a feeling of suffocation. Just as we become used to the ways of today, things change in a flash. The Internet has seemingly brought people closer together, but in fact, is has plunged us into the many deep cracks of space and time."
The packaging of Sweet Home, Go! is equally spectacular boasting two different inner sleeves (printed on the inside and outside) showing through the die cut hole of an outer box sleeve, printed on special fabric paper and creating a total of four different front cover impressions, depending on which sleeve and which side is up. An additional 30x30 cm art book comes with the vinyl edition. This kind of attention to detail is indicative of a band that take outstanding care not only about their music, but also about the visual and haptic aspects of their art. WANG WEN professes a holistic approach to art, focused (but not solely limited) on their extraordinary music. Fans of Mogwai, Radiohead, PG.Lost, Sigur Rós, Explosions In The Sky, This Will Destroy You, Cult Of Luna, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor pay heed.

Daily Outfit, Monday 1/31/11
- Floral print dress - H&M
- Coral cardigan - Gap
- Black tights - Spanx Tight End Tights - Nordstrom
- Faux lace-up wedge boots - Kenneth Cole Reaction - Piperlime?
I love these boots, but I think they might be stumpifying my legs today. The high waist of the dress elongates my legs, but the skirt length and the higher boots might serve to shorten them. Maybe. I can't tell. It could be the fact that I cut my feet off in these shots (oops). I like to think I get away with it because of my height, but if I were not six foot tall, I wouldn't suggest these boots with this outfit. A bootie, preferably in black, would help elongate the legs. Including my feet in my photos would also help with this. So, lesson learned.
You may have noticed that my cardigan matches some of the flowers on my dress almost exactly. This was an accident. Matching is not something I generally strive for, so I wore brown boots. I think I might be afraid to match. Is that weird? I think that's weird. But, it's just how I am. I prefer elements of my outfit to compliment each other as opposed to matching each other. While black booties would have matched this outfit perfectly, I decided on brown boots which I believe compliment the non-black elements on this outfit. Also, I really do like these boots. So I wore them.
What about you guys - do you prefer matching elements or complimentary elements when you put together an outfit?
Happy Monday!

It's Sunday
Today is Sunday. Sunday is usually a day off from work. So what am I doing working? I am the Boss and the Boss said I have a job to do today, Sunday. I am sure that now that you are the Boss you understand why I am working on a Sunday. However, I am a kind boss. I am working on a Sunday but I am not working all of Sunday. I have a small project to complete. I have devoted one hour to this project and then I will be off for the rest of the day. Working one hour on Sunday is not that bad. As a matter of fact it is just fine. How do you schedule time off? Now that you are the Boss you need to think about your time creatively. You need to think out of the box. Since you work at home you have more time for work. You do not need to consider travel time to and from work. You home is your work place. If you want to jump out of bed and go to work in your pajamas you can do that. You do not have to spend time dressing for work. I do not advise this but if you are in a pinch it is an option. So what about time off? How does that fit into your work now that you are responsible for everything. After all you are the Boss. The first thing to do is to plan your day. That includes your work time as well as your non work time. When you work for yourself you need to stop thinking about work days. You need to think about work time. Work time is how much time you need to accomplish your to do list. Suppose you have 5 work tasks and two personal tasks. You can certainly break up your day and allocate time for your personal tasks/appointments. For example: 8AM to 11:00AM Work Tasks
11:15AM to 12:00PM Personal Tasks/Appointments
12:10PM to 3:00PM Work Tasks
3:10PM to 4PM Personal Tasks/Appointments
4:10PM to 6PM Work Tasks You need to be a kind boss. You need to give yourself time off to take care of your personal business. By scheduling and planning you will accomplish what you need to. You will also enjoy yourself. You will also be able to do what is important to you. One perk of being the boss is that you can schedule time for your family, outside interests, appointments, and the things that matter to you. You can also have a productive work day. Isn't that one of the reasons you wanted to have a work at home business? I have some products that are chock full information about this and more. Please join my free newsletter. I am sure it will be an invaluable tool for you. http://ww.selfimprovementtoolshop.com Marcia, Your Confidence Coach

For this tip, we will walk through the creation of this relatively simple macro & demonstrate some features of Macro Express in the process. Kudos to Roy Lechich, formerly in the Integrated Systems and Programming group, for creating this elegant macro.
1. To begin, we need to determine what it is we want to do. In this case, we want the program to click the Override button whenever Voyager opens an Item Blocks window during the circulation charging process. See the Macro Express Tip: Override (Voyager Circulation Module) for context.
2. Next, we need to translate what we want to do into Voyager commands, and translate the Voyager commands into key stroke sequences. Although Macro Express can map mouse positions, the macro is more reliable when key strokes are used because mouse positions vary depending on window sizing. There is almost always a Voyager key stroke equivalent for a Voyager command. The key stroke equivalent for the Voyager override command is Alt+o. (Since Voyager has mapped most of its commands to Alt+<key> sequences, always avoid mapping your macros to Alt+<key<>).
3. From the Macro Explorer window, we go to the menu bar and click on the Macros menu, then click Add Macro .... (Note that we could do the equivalent from the toolbar. Look for the New Macro icon (usually under Category) and click on it.)
4. The Set HotKey Activation window opens:
5. Note that the default activation is Hotkey and that the cursor is prompted to the Select a Hot Key ... Place cursor in the field below ... box. To map the macro to the F1 function key, simply press the F1 key. Then click on the Scripting Editor button (upper right of the window).
6. The Scripting Editor window will open.
7. Basically, you want the program to type Alt+o. This is a Text command. Click the A Text option in the Command window, and then double click the Text Type option from the submenu:
8. The Text Type window will open. Record keystrokes in the Keystrokes area blank space. To enter the keystroke for Alt, click on Alt on the menu below the keystrokes area. To enter the keystroke for o, type o. Then click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
9. The first line of the macro now appears in the Macro Script window:
10. However, the macro must only run under certain conditions, i.e. when we are charging items. For the program, that means that we want the window with Charge in the title header to be running before the macro starts.
To impose this restriction, we first select the Logic command. From the extensive list of Logic options, double click on the option If Window.
The If Commands window opens. We select If Window on Top and specify the Window title: Charge. Note that Partial Match rather than Exact Match has been selected, which means that the macro will work with either Charge or Discharge in the title header.
11. The Macro Script is again on top, but the If condition is out of sequence.
12. Note the arrows on the left and right margins. The arrows on the left insert commands from the Commands list before, after, or at the end (in that order from top to bottom). The arrows on the right move lines of macro script up or down.
Since the Charge window is a precondition for the action, we want the condition (If Window Title "Charge" ...) to precede the action (Text Type <Alt>o). Therefore, we use the position arrow at the right margin to move the If condition before the Text type action. Clicking on the up arrow will reposition the highlighted line up one line.
Alternatively, we could set the position of the Logic command line in advance. At step 10. above, we could:
- single click (select) the Logic command If Window,
- single click the Text Type line in the Macro Script window (to select the script line we will insert before)
- click on the first insert arrow (Insert Before) on the left margin (the If Commands window will open as in section 10.)
- select or enter the same options for the If Commands window as in section 10. and click OK (the macro script line If Window Title "Charge" is on top will appear before the Text Type <ALT> o line).
Note that the macro would still run without the If condition "Charge" on top script line. The condition is more of a safety measure in case there are other Circulation windows where the Item Blocks windows are used.
13. We want the text type action to be performed during the Charging situation only when windows with the title header Item Blocks are on top. Although an If condition might also work, we choose a Timing command. This allows us to insert an automatic time-out and also allows us to avoid complicated If conditions, since the Item Blocks window is on top intermittently rather than continuously. From the Command list we select Timing. From the list of options under Timing, click on Wait for Window Title.
Since Timing is also a precondition for the action of Text Type, but subordinate to the more general Charge condition, we want to insert it after the If condition but before the Text Type. Make sure the If Window line is highlighted (selected) and then click on the 2nd insert button (insert after). The Wait for window will open.
14. From the Wait For window, we select Wait for Window Title to Appear, identify the Window title (Item Blocks and Information) and provide a Wait a Maximum of: 2 minutes 15 seconds. Because the macro does not close upon completion, it is important to provide a limited time out period. Click OK.
15. The Macro Script now appears with a Wait for Window title line. Since we predefined the insertion point, the Wait for Window Title script line appears after the If Window Title script line and before the A Text Type script line.
Alternatively, we could have double clicked on the Wait for Window Title command option to open the Wait for window, selected or entered the options, clicked OK, and used the positioning up arrow to move the Wait for command line before the A Text Type line.
16. The command syntax requires that you indicate the limit of the If condition. We go back to the Command options to find and click on Logic again. This time we select End If and double click. Since there are no suboptions under End If, the End If command line is placed at the end of the Macro Script.
At this point, the macro will run once and then stop under the conditions we have specified. If the Item Blocks window appears more than once during the charging process (and this is common on many units' workstations), the macro will stop after overriding only the first block, and the item will not be charged. The macro will only be useful if we can get it to run repeatedly without having to hit the hot key over and over again. In order to get the macro to run repeatedly once we have started it, we now want to insert the Repeat command.
17. We select Repeat from the list of Commands and then select Repeat Start for the option. We want the conditions and actions to nest within the repeat, so first select the first line of the Macro Script (If Window Title Charge ...) and then click on the first insert arrow (insert before).
18. The Repeat Options window opens. The default command is Start Repeat, which is what we want. However, note that the Repeat Count default is only 10. We don't want to re-start the macro after only 10 charges, so we simply add a 0 to the count to boost it to 100 and click OK. (No other changes need to be made in this window).
NOTE: we can easily revise the Repeat Count on the finished macro. From the Macro Explorer, find the macro item line Override in the Circulation folder and double click on it to open its Macro Script. Double click on the Start Repeat line in the macro script to open the Repeat Options window, type in a new Repeat Count, click OK, and save the change. (See Section 25 for different ways to save a macro).
19. To properly nest the macro within the Repeat condition, we need to script in where to end the condition. From the Command list, we again select Repeat, and from the list of options under Repeat, we double click on Repeat End, which will be inserted at the end of the script. (No insert arrows needed). The Macro Script for the Override macro looks like this:
20. Now that we have created the macro, we need to name it & scope it. We name the macro by clicking on the Properties tab above the Commands subwindow:
21. The Properties window opens. We type in a name for the macro, in this case Override. Note that the Hot Key has already been activated. (Step 5.) We click on the Scope tab.
22. The Scope window opens. The default scope is Global; it should be changed to Program Specific (click on the radio button). You never want your macro to run in all programs, i.e. globally; the macro should always be program specific (although in some cases you may want to run it in more than one program--but never globally). Clicking on the Program Specific radio button will un-gray the Select button next to it, which we then click.
23. The Select Programs window opens. We only want the macro to run in the Voyager circulation module, so we use the scrollbar in the left subwindow to find and select CIRCULATION.EXE. We then click on the Add button (either will work) so that CIRCULATION.EXE appears under Select from a list of installed programswith Run if on top checked below. We then click the OK button.
24. It is important to remember that the macro has not yet been saved. There are a number of ways to save the macro:
- Click on the File menu and then click on Save
- Click on the corresponding save icon on the toolbar
- Click on the Macro Explorer icon in the Actions column (you will be prompted to save the macro)
25. Testing should be an integral part of macro creation. The macro distributed in January 2005 looks like this:
Note the extra lined out If Window title ... condition. Different If Window Title ... conditions were tested. A nice feature of Macro Express allows the user to disable multiple lines of script without deleting them. The macro is saved in the lined-out version, and tested. If the results are unsatisfactory, the script line can be restored. If we wanted to try the macro using the script line If Window Title "Charge" is running instead of the command If Window Title "Charge" is on top, we would click on the macro script line If Window Title "Charge" is running to select it, and then click on the Disable Command icon in the left margin:
We also need to enable the script line If Window Title "Charge" is running by selecting the line. The red circle around the exclamation point on the icon will disappear and the exclamation icon now represents the Enable Command. We then click on the Enable icon. The red line-out through the script line If Window Title "Charge" is running disappears. We can now save the macro and test the edited version. Apparently the script If Window Title "Charge" is on top worked best; the other option was disabled but never deleted from the macro.

Uniformed Black Panthers Threaten White America Over the Trayvon Martin Shooting - This is Now Obama's America
6 comments:
Too crazy to comment on. Rioting is on the agenda. Isn't that what Obama wants? A good reason to declare Martial Law?
- March 26, 2012 at 8:31 AM
what about all the blacks killing blacks and the blacks killing whites?i didn't think Zimmerman was white am i missing something here?is this just a ploy to blame whites for all that's wrong in America?why can't we all just get along as Rodney King said.God bless America
- March 26, 2012 at 1:12 PM
Are you kidding, they don't want to GET along with YOU!!!
- March 26, 2012 at 6:23 PM
This is exactly what Obama wants. It's part of his agenda, he has been feeding these racially charged statements to the media, who is more than happy to pass it along to us. Then IDIOTS like the black panther's can't wait to kill someone. Wow, and what they hope to accomplish is?....
- March 27, 2012 at 3:02 PM
Where are these men from who are now "the new" Black Panthers? They seem very "put together", so to speak. I this this thing is the "plan". They were looking for something and they found it. Let's just say this story is not quite what they've been told. Trayvon is not quite the sweet innocent lad he was presented to be.

Stonegate Pub Company chairman, Ian Payne (pictured), has congratulated the government on appointing a pubs minister — Jake Berry — after his call to urgently confirm an appointment last Wednesday during the relaunch of the company's flagship venue.
Hosting a VIP reception, including 70 MPs, on board Thames floating pub the Tattershall Castle, after a multi-million pound refurbishment and move towards Westminster, Mr Payne iterated the significant contribution of the pub sector to the economy.
He said: "The pub and eating out sector directly employs 1.5 million people and provides indirect employment to a host of suppliers, contractors and ancillary services. We need to work hard to make the Government understand just how important we are to the wider UK economy."
Stonegate has already invested £27.1 million in its first three quarters to June, further acquiring 50 pubs — including the purchase of Intertain and its Walkabout brand — and now employs almost 14,000 people.
The Tattershall Castle was purchased in 2015 when Stonegate took over TCG and has become one of the company's flagships, with a 1,000 capacity and multiple venue space for both private hire and public use. Stonegate has invested £500,000 since the boat moved to a mooring closer to the Houses of Parliament.
Mr Payne added: "Given the appropriate support from the government, we will continue to make investments of this magnitude across the UK."
