By now, there's a lot to be said of the formal feedback that accompanies an Aamir Khan Productions (AKP) release. We've gone from a unanimous panning of Lagaan the weekend of its release 10 years ago, to oodles of praise and an almost default opinion of 'best-in-class cinema'. If you've followed this blog, you know I am of the opinion that it's well-deserved and a product of diligence and conviction on the part of the producer and his crew. What's defined the brand and made it synonymous with quality has been an unwavering commitment to test the filmic waters, and to try to have fun while at it, or at least convince audiences that they're having fun while at it.
I certainly do not intend to say this as a slight to the film. I do intend it as a slight to those film critics who are either so blinded by group think that they either forget the Hindi films they have seen in the recent past (assuming they're keeping up better than we are), or must cater to a brand and not a brand's audience, forgetting that films are to manipulate us, the audience, and not as much to manipulate the 'independent' film critic. It's this conscious effort to stay objective that's led some to appreciate Aamir Khan's films over the years. And it's this very effort that demands we call a smiling banana, a...well...smiling banana. :)
Now, let's treat Delhi Belly within the scope of a comedy that's rated R for language. It fits the bill well. Three young, fabulous, and broke professionals -- Imran Khan, Kunaal R. Kapur, and Vir Das -- who are roommates in an apartment building whose collapse is imminent, find their way into a smuggler web (led by Vijay Raaz) because of diamonds they unknowingly serve as couriers for. The film is about their quest to stomach the position they're in and escape from this web while toying with holding on to their greed.
Along the way are several hurdles, as we would expect, and most of them have a comic ring to them. They're underplayed and require constrained performances, and the three actors and lead villain (especially) do really well with theirs. Imran Khan's maturity as an actor is obvious. Good for him! Vir Das might just want to seek Farhan Akhtar as acting coach – he's a half clone in delivery and posture. Vijay Raaz delivers what might just be one of the more memorable performances by a villain, of late. The ladies, Poorna Jagannathan and Shenaz Treasurywala, fit in well, the former making the most of a more significant role.
The screenplay, cinematography, and art direction work well in concert. Expect nothing less from the brand. The music fits in well. The controversial song (and I'd rather stay away from why it's controversial) has an extremely catchy tune that is an anthem of sorts among Indian youth by now (for better or for worse). Enjoy. (Rated R for you Hindi/Urdu speakers):
Loved the sound accompanying the opening credit sequence, with a K. L. Saigal remix that is not pathetic. Aamir Khan shows up in an item song (yes, he's an 'item boy' now) which is a tribute to 1980s rock-n-roll Bollywood. Here's a trailer with the funky Aamir:
Unfortunately, a lot of what's good in Delhi Belly is somewhat offset by the amount of 'toilet' humor. If comedy outside the restroom is driven by subtlety, it's the explicitness of incorporating traveler's diarrhea (yes, condition's called 'Delhi Belly' apparently) into the film that could lead one to believe that class, not what's crass, is the bigger concern here. If you don't have an appetite for that kind of humor, stay away. Of course, if you don't have an appetite for the kind of language that #U*Q$ up the living daylights out of some purists, stay away.
If you're okay with the aforementioned disclaimers, check this out. It's different in how it achieves what it achieves, but no matter what is said about it, it's the familiar elements we appreciate in quality cinema – plot, writing, timing -- that make it what it is, despite how hard it tries to differentiate because of a perceived boldness that's supposed to spark a new trend in Hindi film of more boldness for the sake of boldness. (Refer to this discussion on what's bold and what's not.)
Check the tide when it comes to the amount of profanity that's used, Bollywood. This is one trend you're better off not flowing with, like the water supply in the apartment building whose collapse was imminent.
Shit happens, alright. It's why we need to move beyond (sh)it.
Film Rating: 3.5/5 -- Good, "time-pass" entertainer
Music Rating: 3.5/5
Catchy tunes, great integration, excellent background score
My Classification: R
For language, sex, toilet humor
99 (2009) is a film I've been meaning to recommend for a while. A lot of the good I say about Delhi Belly applies here. While it's slower than Delhi Belly, it's as intelligent and engaging (if not more), and per my reaction while watching it, way more hilarious and with better (and more), good performances. It also has a character named D.K., for what it's worth.
Two friends -- Kunal Khemu and Cyrus Broacha -- run an illegal SIM-card duplicating business. As they're about to get busted, they rob a car, meet with an accident in it, and must reimburse a bookie (Mahesh Manjrekar) for damages. We go from Mumbai to Delhi, from an attempted escape to betting, and trust veterans Boman Irani and Vinod Khanna to steal the show from the other dependable actors through it. Simone Singh and Soha Ali Khan pitch in with good performances. Amit Mistry is the big find here. There are several scenes where he makes an excellent case for his casting in future comedies. Here's my favorite (rated R for language; no subtitles here):
Several unforced and circumstantial moments of genuine comedy, often products of the kind of sarcasm that works because of its timing, make this entertaining, hilarious, and memorable. It's also a more encouraging sample from contemporary, stylish Bollywood comedy that works as much for its restrained performances as it does for its writing. It's as dialogue-driven as any other, with delivery that is, in most cases, just brilliant. Very well done, and a tide we need to see more flow with!
Movie Rating: 4/5 – Excellent!
My Classification: R for language.

Near the confluence of the Tanana and Chena Rivers, Fairbanks has been home to Athabascan Indians for centuries. The population in the area boomed in the early 1900's with the discovery of gold. A second population boom occurred in the 1970's with the construction of the Alaska Pipeline.
New in Fairbanks is the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visotirs Center. Come see life-sized dioramas depicting activities of the seasons. See Native artists working with materials from the area, or ask a local about the fantastic places to visit while in the Interior of Alaska.
Alaska's second largest city can experience temperature swings of well over 120 degrees between summer and winter. With its rich history, beautiful views of Mt. McKinley and the northern lights in the winter, Fairbanks is well worth a visit on your Alaskan adventure.

Short review: Imagine having raging hormones to start with, and then to stumble across a man that will hog-tie and torture you while a camera runs to show some positions of porn that would work for a BDSM humiliation site nicely. Are they embarrassed? Yes. Are they turned on? Definitely! It's all here through high quality and hot adventures, choices and good times ahead of you from this site.
Content Amount: It saddens me to say the numbers are low. It is a newer installment, and they lapsed a bit in keeping with the regular updates, but they seem to be back on track with additions done on a weekly basis. There are tons of bonuses to make you smile.

Short review: What the heck is Muffia? Only the hottest porn movie network to debut since well, a long freakin' time. This megasite is made up of 9 sites from the same guys who brought you Reality Kings. Some of the site niches include foot fetish, big cock sex, and fantasy porn. Some of the pornstars that you'll find inside are Kristina Rose, Puma Swede, and Jenaveve Jolie.
Content Amount: Nine sites in one could get a little messy, but this site manages to keep it together and reign it all in so that navigation remains a breeze. There are currently 186 episodes with updates dating back to October 2007.

It's been over 5 years since I started FemaleDwarf.com, and it's been a great experience for me. I've learned a lot from my work on the site, and I've greatly enjoyed being able to contribute to and participate in our wonderful hunter community. It's with a heavy heart that I announce I don't plan to update the site for the Warlords of Draenor expansion. I've greatly enjoyed my experience in WoW over these almost 10 years, but I'm not sure if I'll continue playing in the upcoming expansion, and I just can't make the time investment required to keep this site up to date with it.
When I started this site, hunter options for optimization and theorycrafting were a lot more limited. Simulationcraft is now a much more mature and easier to use tool. Esoth is now working on his own web based theorycraft tool at http://www.wowhuntertools.com/hunter/. Ask Mr Robot is a popular alternative option. I hope the hunter community will continue to be well served by these and any new tools that may come along in the future.
I want to thank all the people who've helped make the site a success over the years: the authors of the original hunter spreadsheets that the site was inspired by and based on, the hunter bloggers that helped get out the word about the site, the many hunter theorycrafters whose work has helped me keep the site up to date and accurate, the devs who've made a real effort in the last few years to engage the theorycrafting community and the player base at large, the volunteer translators that have helped make the site more useful to WoW players in many countries. I also must thank the many wonderful users of the site, some of whom have sent donations over the years, or have shared their stories with me of their experiences with the site, helped make suggestions for improvement or have offered to help in whatever way they could. The hunter community is full of great people that made me proud that I could do my bit to help.

We're the #1 commercial real estate appraisal firm in Dallas for individual property owners and their advisors
There are only two types of commercial real estate appraisal companies. Not knowing which type you're talking to may result in a bad appraisal, costing you time and money—I'll explain why in a moment.
For now, let's look at the two types of commercial appraisal companies:
- Those that primarily serve institutions (such as banks and mortgage companies).
- Those that primarily serve individual property owners and their advisors.
We're the the latter of the two.
So, if you are a big traditional bank, hedge fund, or mortgage company, we are not the right firm for you. We simply prefer not to work with these types of organizations.
You'll understand why as you read on.
However, if you are a consumer who needs an appraisal of commercial property, or you're an attorney, accountant, financial planner, or realtor representing a property owner, you've come to the right place.
If You're Wondering Why This Matters to You, Here's Why…
We are not an appraisal-factory for banks and mortgage companies
Since most appraisers—from the local solo operator to the big national firm—rely on banks and mortgage companies for most of their appraisal orders, these institutions naturally become their most important clients.
This is bad for you for at least two reasons:
- Because these appraisal firms consistently get dozens of orders every month from each institutional client, your business frankly means very little to them—as a result, you can expect poor service (unreturned phone calls, missed deadlines, and an unreliable appraisal).
- And because these appraisal firms do most of their work for [1] banks who knowingly sacrifice quality and accuracy for an ultra-fast turnaround at a rock-bottom price, they have no choice but to become an assembly-line-like factory producing low quality, often inaccurate appraisals.
To maintain our service and quality standards, as well as our independence, we avoid working with institutional clients such as banks and mortgage companies.
Instead, we prefer to service individual private clients like you, as well as a host of legal, financial, and tax professionals and their individual clients.
As a result, most appraisals we do are used for a variety of personal, legal, or tax-related issues, rather than mortgage financing. That's why we have better familiarity with your needs and situation.
Also, we haven't developed the bad habits that come from constantly prioritizing speed and cost over quality and accuracy—habits that inevitably result in low quality, unreliable appraisals.
[1] You would think that banks and other mortgage lenders would care more about the appraisal being accurate. The truth is that they don't, and here's why.
Firstly, most commercial lenders give themselves a built-in margin of error of at least 20%, by lending only 80% of the property's appraised value. That may work for them but can you afford to hire an appraiser whose value is wrong by 20% or more?
And secondly, most (nearly all) new mortgage loans are quickly sold into the secondary mortgage market – this means that the bank which originally made the loan isn't on the hook if the loan ever defaults.
And if the bank appraisal was wrong and the property turns out to be worth far less than they thought when they made the loan, it's not their problem anymore.
This is why banks only care about the speed and cost of an appraisal, at the expense of accuracy – because they just want to sell as many loans as possible, as quickly and cheaply as they can.
We never use trainee appraisers—all our appraisers have at least 15 years' experience
Want to know an industry secret?
Many appraisal firms use inexperienced appraiser trainees, also known as 'licensed appraiser assistants,' to do your appraisal start to finish—with little or no supervision.
Upon completion, your appraisal is basically rubber-stamped with the signature of the senior appraiser you thought you hired to do the job.
Why? Because trainees work cheap—and sometimes they even work for free. This is how many appraisal firms cut costs to maximize profit, at your expense.
It's a disturbingly common practice.
You see, trainees are supposed to be apprentices. But it takes years of oversight and hand-holding to correctly learn the trade and earn an appraisal license—most firms can't be bothered with that.
Institutional clients like banks and mortgage companies have no problem with this practice because it enables appraisal firms to dramatically cut costs and speed up turnaround time.
As a result, banks get what they really want – cheap, fast appraisals. And as you just learned in the section above, banks don't really care that this practice often leads to low quality, inaccurate appraisals.
But what about you?
Do you need a reliable, thoroughly-researched, accurate appraisal of your property? If so, you should avoid hiring an appraiser that primarily serves institutions.
We never use trainees or licensed appraiser assistants in any capacity. All our appraisers are TX State Certified and have at least 15 years' experience.
When you work with us, you'll have one highly skilled and experienced appraiser who works on your appraisal all the way through, from start to finish.
We guarantee our work
Most appraisers don't. Having read the points above, you can probably understand why.
Knowing that your appraisal will not be challenged or rejected is as important as knowing it is accurate.
We guarantee your appraisal report will meet the standards and requirements of the authority you'll be submitting it to (court, IRS, or government agency), and be accepted by that authority.
Superior service, with a personal touch
When you hire a company for an important job, you should expect to be treated like an important person.
We know from experience this is not the case at many appraisal firms—where institutional clients are doted on, while individual property owners like you are pushed to the back of the line and unapologetically treated as less important.
Our clients have our office numbers, cell phone numbers and personal e-mail address. We make ourselves available day and night. When you call, we answer. Not a secretary or a pushy salesman.
We offer you a unique level of access and commitment—and we can usually do so at a lower rate than bigger firms, because we don't have to charge extra to cover bloated operational costs.

It is infrequent to come across a company that is genuinely honest and considerate of their non-customers. I called with an inquiry and immediately they found faults in my interests. They took time to point out issues and resolutions to my concerns. It was clear that they could not turn me into a customer. Nonetheless, a couple of days later they followed up with me and helped me further to resolve my issues. Although I never became a customer, they helped me tremendously. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this company for their time and honesty!

Brooks Wins Iowa Open
By Mark Capron
IM Michael Brooks of Missouri went 5-0 to win the 59th edition of the Iowa Open held August 24-25 in Coralville Iowa. FM Liang (WI), IM Angelo Young (IL), Petros Karagianis (IL), Robert Keating (IA), and Ziwen Zhou (IA) all scored 4 and tied for second in the 61 player Open section. IM Brooks had to beat Iowa Co-Champ Byambatsogt Tumurkhuu, FM Liang,and newcomer Valeriy Kosokin (2273 FIDE, UNR USCF) on his way to the championship.
IM Young gave up a draw against Iowa Co-Champ Dan Brashaw which left Young needing a win in the last round to get to second. Young Ziwen Zhou (1894) had the potentially the best tournament. Zhou drew expert Troy Zimmerman (WI), upset 1951 rated David Scott (MO), upset master Tim McEntee (IA), upset expert Byambatsogt Tumurkhuu, and drew Petros Karagianis in the last round. This gave Zhou a performance rating of 2363 for the tournament. Ty Williams (MO) had the largest upset in the tournament when he beat a player rated 803 rating points higher. This tournament has consistently drawn players from out of state including this year where 22 out of the 61 were from out of state.
On Friday Evening prior to the tournament the Iowa Quick Chess Championship was held. 33 players competed in the 6 round event including IM Brooks and IM Young. This time IM Young was pronounced the champion. Iowa Co-Champ Dan Brashaw had a promising position against Young, but could not convert. IM Brooks got knocked off by Byambatsogt Tumurkhuu, then could only get a draw vs. IM Young in the last round. Tumurkhuu and Petros Karagianis tied for second.
Concurrently with the 59th Iowa Open the Iowa State Reserve Championship and a Rated Beginner's Open were held. The Iowa Reserve (U1600) had 38 players and Co-champions, Steve Jacobs (IA) and Tim Carson (IA).

Restoration project of the seven sculptures in the collection
Aristide Maillol (1861-1944) was, together with Auguste Rodin, the most important bronze sculptor at the turn of the 19th century and is represented in the Kunsthaus Zürich with seven sculptures from almost all phases of his life's work. Rounded forms, compact surfaces, and classic poses characterize his figures, which throughout his career he devotes to a precise female image.
Two of the Kunsthaus sculptures stand out as particularly noteworthy: the somewhat eccentric "Monument à Cézanne", which joined the collection as a donation from Werner and Nelly Bär, and the life-size "Venus with Necklace", which Maillol created between 1918 and 1929 and which is one of his most known works. The upright female figure, in which voluptuousness and gracefulness meet, represents Maillol at the height of his artistic endeavors.
One of few examples from the period, this valuable bronze was acquired direct from its creator as far back as 1931 and kept in the open air for a long time, causing substantial weathering of its surface. It has now undergone a thorough cleaning and restoration similar to the work carried out some years ago on Rodin's 'Gates of Hell.' Following careful and intricate retouching of the surface, beautiful Venus can once again take her rightful place among the bronzes of Maillol and Rodin and be exhibited as part of the collection for the first time in decades.
The restoration was supported by the
BNP Paribas Suisse Foundation.

When I was 4, I slept with a plastic gun. When I was 10, I wore camouflage and played army behind my house.
As an adult, I enlisted in the U.S. Army. I learned to take apart and reassemble a deadly weapon with a high-capacity magazine. I was trained for many hours before a round ever entered the chamber.
Safety was emphasized, as was the importance of taking responsibility for one's weapon.
As I read the many letters to the Butler Eagle, I can't help but wonder what people are thinking when they insist that their "right" to own as many weapons as they want is more important than the right of others to live.
The stated reasons are many: The "Feds" are going to come to my house and steal my guns. I need them for hunting. I collect them.
I must admit that I've never heard anyone say, "I need multiple rapid-fire killing machines to murder dozens of people at the mall, the movie theater, or at an elementary school, or any number of other venues where people expect to gather safely."
Recently an article appeared in the Eagle that took a slightly different stance — that being the morality involved in permitting tens of thousands of Americans to be slaughtered in a given year, in order to maintain a right that, at best, is not clearly delineated in the Constitution's Second Amendment.
What part of my neighbor owning a dozen or more AR-15s, capable of firing 30 rounds in less than a minute, applies to "a well-regulated militia"?
Does anyone seriously believe the "Feds" are organized enough (nevermind the inherent paranoia evident in that belief) to arrange to confiscate the estimated 300 million weapons U.S. citizens own?
Then there's the hunting argument. If someone must shoot an animal from 100 yards away, two rounds should do it, if one really considers himself or herself a hunter.
Last but not least is the "collector." My dad used to collect coins. Coins are not deadly. If a person collects deadly weapons, should they not be registered, to give legitimacy to the collection?
Cars kill people. No, wait: It's the person driving the car who drinks and drives, didn't get enough sleep, was texting, etc. In order to legally drive a car, one must do all of the following:
Pass a written permit test; pass a driving test; register one's car, annually in Pennsylvania; have the car inspected for safety, annually; not break laws, such as the law prohibiting driving under the influence; and maintain insurance.
Cars serve the legitimate purpose of getting us from point A to point B. Yet, we are required to be responsible, or lose that privilege.
Yes, universal background checks do help. People who know they should not have guns know they can acquire them hassle-free at a gun show.
Forty percent of all gun purchases are illegal; many of those are so-called "straw" purchases.
One thing that would discourage a person from purchasing a gun for someone else (who may or may not be permitted to own one) is to make the buyer equally liable for crimes committed with that weapon.
Owning an arsenal is not a right. I always have liked guns and do not begrudge other responsible owners their deadly possessions, but there comes a time when responsibility must come into play. That time is now.

Basically, I have now played or I am playing a few more games on this map, my conclusion is that no one will go for the objective. I find that getting the objective on a map is a fun alternative strategy but given how many neutrals one needs to go thru in order to achieve a win with the objective it will never be done in a real game.
My suggestion was to take the 3 neutrals around Budapest and Wien and turn them into standard territories or 1 neutrals. I just feel that if there is going to be an objective it must be realistic to obtain, the way it is designed it is way easier to dominate the map than objective, even with fog. This map will be one of the many where no one ever gets the objective like Peloponnesian War for example.
If map can still be modified that would be awesome cause I think it is a above average in playability but it could be awesome. I got into the map late to offer feedback sorry
Congrats on getting it passed though
thenobodies80 wrote:First of all thank you for your thoughts.
Now, let me say that's a bit funny to read what you wrote...this because if you go back of a couple of pages in this thread you can read the opposite...
My opinion is that the objective is not easy to achieve, but not so damn hard....i think it's strictly related with the game settings and the number of players, certainly it is not something you can do in few turns. The problem is the thrones give you also an additional bonus, so maybe reduce them is not a totally a bad idea.
But have those neutrals reduced to 1 is too much imo, for example it will give too much power to the player who has a lucky drop/dice on Bohemia regions.... maybe reduce them to 2 could be better? (with the exception of Tolna that I would like to keep at 3 in any case)

When I first heard that Congresswoman Diana DeGette, D-Denver, would announce her bid to be re-elected to Congress from the 1st Congressional District at the Columbine Library, my first thought was, "I thought that library in Cherry Creek was on Milwaukee, not Columbine."
As it turned out, I was right — there is no Denver library on Columbine Street. DeGette, who has represented Denver in Congress since 1997, chose to announce her re-election plans from the newest part of her district, the part in South Jeffco around Columbine and Ken Caryl.

Poquonnock fire chief: Budget is threat to public safety
Groton - Poquonnock Bridge Fire Chief Todd Paige said Tuesday that he cannot run the department on a $3.5 million budget, that the budget would "decimate public safety," and that closing the Fort Hill Station would increase response times by 3 to 4 minutes.
Paige, who has been chief for 12 years, said the fire district board has not met with him since May 9 and he's still waiting for guidance. He said he looked at potential cuts and found that even if he laid off firefighters, the department would not save money because he'd have to pay others overtime to meet minimum staffing requirements.
"It would totally decimate public safety," he said. "You cannot operate the department at $3.5 million and observe public safety and honor your legal obligations."
Legal obligations include not only the union contract, but items such as liability insurance, fees for fire hydrants and electricity to run the station, Paige said.
"It's up to (board members) which obligation they're going to violate," he said.
Voters approved the $3.5 million budget for the fiscal year starting July 1 after rejecting a higher amount proposed by the board. The $3.5 million is not enough to cover payroll. Taxpayers also elected three new members.
Incoming board president Alan Ackley said last week that one option would be to close the 13 Fort Hill Road station, relocate career firefighters to the second station on Long Hill Road and start a new volunteer company. These changes would require majority approval of the board.
Councilor Harry Watson said he believes the Town Council should discuss the issue.
Watson said the Fort Hill station is "right around the corner" from a neighborhood with hundreds of wood-frame houses and is the closer of the two fire stations to town-owned property including Town Hall, the Town Hall Annex, the Human Services Department, the Groton Town police station, Groton Public Library, Groton Senior Center and Robert E. Fitch High School.
"We need to talk about it as a council, because if there is any risk of our citizens not being safely taken care of, that's our responsibility as a council," Watson said. Poquonnock Bridge is the largest of Groton's nine fire districts and covers 12 square miles.
Larry Nelson, vice president of the Poquonnock Bridge Neighborhood Association, said the area needs its neighborhood station.
"If your house is burning or you're dying of a heart attack, 2 miles is a long way," he said.
District board member Ron Yuhas, who lives on South Road and would be affected by closing Fort Hill, said shuttering the station would affect response times. But he said district taxpayers won't support spending more, so the board has to act.
"I understand that there are people, some that are scared, and some that have legitimate concerns," he said. "And some are scared for no reason. But you can only do so much with so much money."
Yuhas said it also doesn't make sense that other departments manage with less money and still maintain public safety, yet it can't be done in Poquonnock Bridge.
"How is the rest of the town running on half of what we're running on?" Yuhas said. "It's not a fair financial situation right now for us to be paying four times more than Mystic."
The new board will make decisions when it meets after July 1, Yuhas said.
Paige said closing the Fort Hill station would save $40,000, not including the cost of relocating the fire marshal's office and storing vehicles and equipment. He said it would increase response time by 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the location of the call.
For example, responding to Claude Chester Elementary School from the Long Hill Station would take 3 to 4 minutes of travel time plus 2 minutes to dispatch the call and get trucks and equipment out of the station, for a total of 5 to 6 minutes. The response to Fitch High School would take 8 to 9 minutes from the Long Hill Station, Paige said.
The average response time in Poquonnock Bridge is about 4.25 minutes, Paige said.
Editor's note: This corrects an earlier version of this paragraph. The chief also said staffing is driven not only by the union contract but by what the department needs in practice. Under the union contract, the department must be staffed with a minimum of five firefighters per shift, and the department assigns three to Long Hill and two to Fort Hill, Paige said. Minimum staffing has been in place for at least 15 years, he said.
But in practice, staffing levels tend to be higher than what is specified in the contract: A majority of the time, there are at least six firefighters on duty between the two stations.
One reason is that there must be four firefighters at a scene before any may enter a building, under Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations.
The rule, called "two in, two out," means firefighters must enter a building with a buddy, and have at least two outside to help if something goes wrong. The exception is if there's someone known to be trapped inside.
Paige said firefighters may enter a burning structure to save a life under this exception, but to cut staff to that level as policy "would put firefighters at great risk" and would be "irresponsible."
Paige said Poquonnock Bridge differs from other districts in that most of its fires occur in multi-family and commercial buildings. He said these are complicated because smoke and fire may spread to areas with people still inside, such as in an apartment complex with many units.
Libby Gernhard, who lives on Midway Oval and served on the Neighborhood Revitalization Zone in Poquonnock Bridge, said she'd like to see the Fort Hill station stay open. But, she said, she understands it might not be possible.
Her husband, Jack Gernhard, who attended the fire district's annual meeting, said he believes the problem is the union contract. He said the district board needs to get out of it, even if that means asking the governor for permission to declare bankruptcy.
Libby Gernhard said she would support the board if it closed the station near her.
"If we have to do it, we have to do it," she said. "And I'd have to go along with it. Because you can't have everything you want."

So the contest. I'm going fishing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The person who guesses how many inches of fish I catch in those three days wins the glasses. Zero is not an acceptable answer. If I don't catch any fish then there is no winner (I'm just a loser). So for example, say I catch 3 trout measuring 10 inches... that's 30 inches of fish.
Got it? Leave your guess in the comments and then I will post on Monday what the total is and name the winner.
Here are the glasses.
And don't forget to feed the fish to the right.

I think Woodson if affordable would be sweet, however I'm really not a fan of moving Earl to the slot anymore then 4 or 5 plays a game, he's a pro-bowl first team All Pro Safety, I'm sure he could move to the slot occasionally and play well, but its just not necessary, he's the best in the league at where he is now, why mess with that.
EDIT; I know I'll prob get flamed for this, because everyone seems to love this idea, I just had to say it. Voice of dissent and all!

I think you've got some revisionist history in your head. Charles Woodson wasn't even a starter until his 4th year in the league, and he didn't break double digits in passes defended until his 9th year. Arguably, Sherman's 2nd year is equal to or better than Woodson's best year. Take a look, you tell me.

I'm not disparaging Woodson, but assuming Sherman keeps pace with his 2012 performance or gets better, it's no contest which is the better CB.
RolandDeschain wrote:Interesting, his stats are missing from the first 3 years on the official NFL website. My bad, but not my fault, lol. Click the link above in my post if you don't believe me! Buncha hyphens...In any case, on Pro Football Reference, they've got him for 0 passes defended in his first 3 years. How the hell did he get defensive rookie of the year? 5 ints is good for a rookie, but Sherman had four in only 10 games in his rookie year, and seventeen passes defended in 10 games compared to 0 in Woodson's first three seasons, according to PFR.
I'd say no matter how you cut it, Sherman's smoking Woodson compared against the same points in their careers. How do you argue otherwise, again?
Oh, right...Woodson was drafted in round 1, compared to Sherman's round 5. Clearly, that determines who's elite.
RolandDeschain wrote:Jesus, there are a lot of discrepancies with Charles Woodson's stats. What the hell gives? Either way, like you said, Sherman's smoking him. Hell, can somebody name a CB that has had a better first two years than Sherman? I'm not saying there aren't any, but I want to know who they are.

The agile community has been actively increasing their integrity debt through the continuing popularity of Scrum Certification, in particular the program around becoming a Certified Scrum Master (CSM). To become a CSM you currently need to attend, and hopefully pay attention during, a two-day Scrum Master Certification workshop taught by a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST). That's it. Granted, some CSTs will hold one or more quizzes which you need to pass, an optional practice which isn't done consistently, to ensure that you pay attention in the workshop.
Scrum Masters, as you know, take the leadership position on a Scrum team. The idea that someone can master team leadership skills after two entire days of training is absurd. Don't get me wrong, I'm a firm supporter of people increasing their skillset and have no doubt that many of the CSTs deliver really valuable training. However, there is no possible way that you can master a topic, unless it is truly trivial, in only two days of training. From what I can tell the only thing that is being certified here is that your check didn't bounce.
The CSM scheme increases the integrity debt of the IT industry by undermining the value of certification. When someone claims that they're certified there's an assumption that they had to do something meaningful to earn that certification. Attending a two-day course, and perhaps taking a few quizzes where you parrot back what you've heard, clearly isn't very meaningful. The problem with the term Certified Scrum Master is two-fold: not only does the term Certified imply that the holder of the certification did something to earn it, the term Master implies that they have significant knowledge and expertise gained over years of work. It is very clear that people are falling for the Scrum certification scheme.
A quick search of the web will find job ads requiring that candidates be CSMs, undoubtedly because they don't realize that there's no substance behind the certification. Whenever I run into an organization that requires people to be CSMs I walk them through the onerous process of earning the designation and suggest that they investigate the situation themselves. Invariably, once they recognize the level of deception, the customer drops the requirement that people be CSMs.
Another quick search of the web will find people bragging about being a CSM, presumably being motivated by the employment opportunities within the organizations gullible enough to accept Scrum certification at face value. My experience is that the people claiming to be CSMs are for the most part decent, intelligent people who 99.99% of the time have far more impressive credentials to brag about than taking a two-day course. Yet, for some reason they choose to park their integrity at the door when it comes to Scrum certification. I suspect that this happens in part because they see so many other people doing it, in part because they're a bit desperate to obtain or retain employment in these tough economic times, and in part because the IT industry doesn't have a widely accepted code of ethical conduct. These people not only embarrass themselves when they indicate on their business cards or in their email signatures that they're Certified Scrum Masters they also increase the integrity debt of the agile community as a whole.
Yet another search of the web will find people bragging about being Certified Scrum Trainers (CSTs), the people whom have been blessed by the Scrum Alliance to deliver Scrum master certification courses. Once again, my experience is that these are intelligent, skilled people, albeit ones who have also parked their integrity at the door in the pursuit of a quick buck. Surely these people could make a decent living via more ethical means? I know that many of them have done so in the past, so I would presume that they could do so in the future. The actions of the CSTs increase our integrity debt even further.
The group of people who have most embarrassed themselves, in my opinion, are those whom we consider thought leaders within the agile community. Leaving aside the handful who are directly involved with the Scrum certification industry, the real problem lies with those who have turned a blind eye to all of this. The Scrum certification scheme was allowed to fester within our community because few of our thought leaders had the courage to stand up and publicly state what they were talking about in private. This of course is all the more galling when you consider how much rhetoric there is around the importance of courage on software development projects. As Edmund Burke once observed, all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
There are several things that we can do today to start paying off some of our integrity debt:
- Be discerning, not deceptive. If you're going to list credentials on your email signature or business card then only choose to list the ones that actually mean something.
- Educate human resources people. Make them aware of what "Certified Scrum Master" really means and let them think for themselves. I highly suspect that if HR people realized what was going on the demand for CSMs would plummet, and in turn people wouldn't be tempted by Scrum certification.
- Act professional, don't just claim to be certified. Instead of signing up for every easy certification that comes your way why not simply do a good job and let the people you work with be your claim to fame? The good news is that for the past few years the agile community has tried to pay down some of the IT industry's integrity debt that we have with our stakeholders by providing better return on investment (ROI), delivering systems which are more effective at addressing the needs of your stakeholders, by working in a more timely manner, and by producing greater quality work. All of these claims are borne out by the 2008 Software Development Project Success Rate Survey by the way.
- Recognize that adding a test doesn't address the underlying problems. For the past year there's been a move afoot to have people pass a test as part of earning their CSM (apparently it's been a challenge to create a non-trivial test to validate your understanding of a topic that you can master by taking a two-day training course). This is something that should have been done from the very beginning, along with some sort of peer review, not years later when the damage has been done. Adding a test at this late date isn't going to remove the stink that's built up over the years, but sadly it will fool a few people into believing that they've covered it up.
- Recognize that there is a demand for certification. The agile community needs to put together a decent certification program, something that the Scrum Alliance has clearly failed at doing. My article Coming Soon: Agile Certification provides some thoughts as to what we need to do. The good news is that people such as Ron Jeffries and Chet Hendrickson, and others, are putting together a developer certification program. The really good news is that these are the right people to do this. The really bad news is that they're doing it under the aegis of the Scrum Alliance, so whatever they accomplish will unfortunately be tainted by the fallout of the CSM debacle.

YUCAIPA, Calif. (AP) — A tour bus carrying dozens of men, women and children from Tijuana, Mexico, crashed in the mountains of Southern California after spending Sunday at a winter recreation area, killing at least eight and as many as 10 people, authorities said.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Mario Lopez said this morning that the number of eight confirmed deaths was expected to rise because the coroner was just starting to remove bodies from the mangled vehicles and also take away the remains of those who were thrown out, which were covered by yellow blankets.
More than three dozen people were injured. At least 17 were still hospitalized this morning, including at least five in critical condition.
The accident occurred about 6:30 p.m. Sunday about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. It left State Route 38 littered with debris and the bus sideways across the two lanes with its windows blown out, front end crushed and part of the roof peeled back like a tin can.
The speeding bus rear-ended a Saturn sedan on the mountain road, flipped and then hit a Ford pickup, Lopez said. One person in the truck was injured. The fate of the passengers in the car was not clear, but at least two people were in it, Lopez said.
