"Why did you choose TRB&S?"
Students at I960 Professional
Audit Training Program give
revealing answers
SOMETHING NEW for the 1960 Professional Auditing Training Program
was the survey given to all participants on the following
Why did you choose the field of public accounting?
Why did you choose Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart?
Why did you reject offers from other firms and companies?
Here's what they said —
An overwhelming majority of our new people chose the field of
public accounting because of the diversified experience it offers. Secondary
reasons include the professional appeal of public accounting
and the fact that it is a good training ground for a career in business.
As to why they chose TRB&S, here are some comments quoted
"Besides a high reputation, I sensed a very friendly atmosphere
at TRB&S."
"The firm is dynamic and aggressive and I felt I wanted to be
a part of it."
"The atmosphere of the office and the personnel I met while
visiting the office led me to choose TRB&S. I was also impressed
with the growth record of the firm and future prospects."
"The type of people I met while visiting the office definitely
decided for me that this was a firm I would enjoy working for.
It wouldn't be just a job."

York, Pa. - The Presidents Council of the Capital Athletic Conference proudly announced the addition of Penn State Harrisburg as a full member of the conference, beginning July 1, 2013. Penn State Harrisburg is the third institution, along with Christopher Newport University and Southern Virginia University, to join the CAC for the 2013-14 academic year.
"We are pleased to welcome Penn State Harrisburg to the Capital Athletic Conference, and look forward to competing with their teams in the broad range of sports represented in the CAC," said Dr. George Waldner, President of York College of Pennsylvania and Chair of the CAC Presidents Council.
The CAC will have seven full member institutions for the 2012-13 academic year - Frostburg State (Md.) University, Marymount (Va.) University, the University of Mary Washington (Va.), Salisbury (Md.) University, St. Mary's College of Maryland, Wesley College (Del.) and York College of Pennsylvania. The additions of Christopher Newport, Penn State Harrisburg and Southern Virginia will increase membership to 10 institutions for 2013-14.
Christopher Newport and Penn State Harrisburg will be immediately eligible for conference championships and NCAA Division III Tournament opportunities. Southern Virginia, which is entering its first year as an NCAA Division III provisional member in 2012-13, will become eligible to compete in CAC playoffs during its third year of the four-year provisional membership process (2014-15) - one year after joining the conference.
"The Capital Athletic Conference has now added three solid academic and athletic institutions to its membership, beginning in 2013-14," said Commissioner Tom Byrnes.
"Christopher Newport's athletic program has been dominant regionally and nationally for years and will challenge for CAC championships from Day One. Penn State Harrisburg and Southern Virginia are developing NCAA Division III programs and will surprise many with their competitiveness and success. The CAC is already a strong conference, and these three new members will make it even stronger," Byrnes said.
Penn State Harrisburg became a full member of NCAA Division III in 2010 and is currently a member of the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC). The Lions, who sponsor 12 varsity sports but have plans to add more in the next few years, have finished second in the NEAC's Commissioner's Cup in each of the past two seasons.
The Capital Athletic Conference, which recently completed its 22nd championship season as an all-sports conference, is a coalition of four-year, co-educational institutions promoting intercollegiate athletic competition among schools located in close geographic proximity that have similar educational and athletic philosophies.
The CAC strives to develop a harmony of good feeling and a spirit of competitive sportsmanship, fellowship, and uniformity of practice among member institutions. Conference members are required to operate their intercollegiate athletic programs under the highest ethical standards and to maintain a program consistent with the overall educational philosophy of the member institutions.

A first time homebuyer is confronted with a number of issues when he sets out to search for his dream home. Several factors affect the type of property one should buy. One has to judge the property on the parameters of affordability, location, amenities and various other requirements. While these factors always remain important, here we have tried to categorize the types of properties a first-time buyer must consider, along with the pros and cons of it.
A Flat in High-Rise Apartment:- A flat in a High-Rise Apartment and Branded Residence block is, by far, the most popular choice of the first -time buyers. Besides being affordable, it offers a good community environment to live with family.
Several common amenities like gym, clubhouse, sports facilities, swimming pool, etc., can be availed.
Usually located near commercial areas, thus saving your commuting time.
Ample options to choose from in low-cost bracket.
Maintenance and other costs may haunt you throughout.
If you are a 'lone ranger', apartments are not for you.
No flexibility to extend your area to a larger part or to modify the exteriors of your home. [Read more…]

Papers and presentations are now being accepted for the Black Hat USA 2007 Briefings. Papers and requests to speak will be received and reviewed from now until May 1, 2007.
Submit proposals by completing the submissions form on the CFP server at https://cfp.blackhat.com/.
We stongly suggest that you submit earlier than later since we will close the CFP early if we receive enough quailty submissions to fill the slots.
Ø-Day Attack:
What is the cutting edge of Ø-day attack techniques? How are these vulnerabilities found and exploited? This track will focus on topics including applied attack methodologies, using but not loosing your Ø-day attack, new classes of vulnerabilities just discovered or under development, trends in the Ø-day underground community, etc. Attacks against devices or systems that were previously thought to be either too secure or obscure fit this track as well. Past examples would include attacks using new root kit hiding techniques, Mike Lynn's attack against Cisco's IOS, DMA memory exploits using a USB or Fire Wire device, defeating XP / Vista memory protection schemes, etc.
Ø-Day Defense:
"Ø-day" vulnerabilities are a fact of life, but how we deal with them vary greatly. Some build elaborate multi-layer defense in depth systems. Some accept the risks and invest in response strategies. This track will deal with the strategies and technologies that have evolved to deal with the Ø-day. Topics might include how to defend against unknown vulnerabilities using system call tracing, randomized stack or heap memory, process sandboxes, tools for code auditing, MAC policies, etc. Lessons learned stories may include case studies of how your organization reacted to a 0-day Malware attack or how you reversed a malicious binary. What worked and what didn't.
Application Security:
As network routers, fire walls, and operating systems become more mature, the security surrounding applications have become one of the most popular attack vectors. Format string problems, improper input validation testing, improper authentication, and buffer overflows abound. How do we find or fix these problems? Presentations may cover strategies for auditing web applications, reverse engineering binaries to find or fix vulnerabilities, source code analysis, secure coding practices, black box testing tools, and configuration best practice guidelines would all be appropriate for this track
Deep Knowledge:
In depth presentations on a variety of topics. Not for the faint of heart. If your topic requires a minimum of 150 minutes, this track with give you the time necessary to cover your technical topic in depth.
Forensics & Anti-Forensics:
So, you think you have been hacked? This track will deal with what you should do after you suspect a system or network compromise. Topics could include log analysis of HIDS or NIDS alerts, disk and memory imaging and forensics, system baseline analysis, etc. would be examples of the forensics portion of this track. On the anti-forensics front, techniques for hiding your processes in memory, strategies for never touching the disk to avoid drive analysis tools, 'evidence-eliminator' type tools and their limitations would all be appropriate.
The Network:
Issues surrounding the network. What network you ask? Any network! SS7, x.25, IPv6, or maybe something is wrong with 802.11n or SCADA? As more networks are built and legacy systems integrated we are discovering all kinds of unintended consequences. Talks could cover network scanning, mapping, transient trust problems, driver issues, implementation disasters, or spoofing for example.
Identification and Evasion:
This track is for tools and techniques that deal with discovery and evasion, from kernel space to the wire. Tools that can discover and map networks, hosts, or devices. New fingerprinting strategies, both active or passive, or timing attacks would be an example. On the evasion side techniques or tools used to evade HIDS, NIDS, or Honeypots as well as confuse or misrepresent your systems to scanners or the operating system integrity checks. Don't forget to discuss the limits of your strategy that would impact its use.
Policy, Management, and the Law:
How does the law deal with the security issues that are discovered? What legislation do businesses need to comply with? What are the social responsibilities of security practitioners? Analysis of current or future laws and legislation, management trends, and policy development would fit in this track.
Privacy & Anonymity:
In the world of ever increasing surveillance of the public Net, what are the issues privacy-conscious people and administrators should be aware of? Talks could cover topics such as "What can we do to increase personal privacy?" Technology talks could cover tools related to network privacy such as pseudo-anonymous networking systems like TOR or JAP and anonymous re-mailers. For mobile users it might relate to full device encryption or encrypted text messaging tools. At Black Hat Federal 2006 an excellent presentation by Paul Syverson and Lasse Øverlier dealt with attacks against the TOR network, confirming previously speculation. Have you built an RFID jammer or a zero-footprint live file system? This track would be for you.
Turbo Talks:
The Turbo Talks track will consist of 20 minute talks covering subjects that do not require a full length presentation slot. Topics can range widely, and there are no specific guidelines for what must be included. Examples might include the announcement of a new security project or initiative, the release of research data, a quick tip or techniques talk on a very specific topic, a call for participation in a study, a question and answer session surrounding a new law, etc. Please note: Because of the nature of this track Black Hat will not pay a speaking, hotel, or airfare fee. Selected presenters receive a full conference pass only.

Watched the movie 'Her' yesterday about a guy who fell in love with his operating system. While the premise of the movie may look strange, this indie movie is not classified as sci-fi and explores the facets of human relationships instead.
Without giving the plot away, the movie has made me rethink the concept of Singularity. (wiki)
My views back in the 80s when I was in school was that we would never be able to create intelligence that surpassed our own. How can a flawed being like us be able to create something flawless or better than ourselves.
Now I am not too sure. The concept of artificial intelligence back then was something that mirrored our own. With technology moving towards networking, parallel processing, server farms, etc. in the past 30+ years, the concept of machine intelligence has also changed.
Remove the extreme Hollywood's version of machine intelligence like Skynet, Transcendence and other Domesday scenarios, there is just no way to imagine the singularity when the day comes. How can one even imagine a higher intelligence from a position of lower intelligence?
We already have all human knowledge (Google), interactions (Facebook and other social media) all in the place we called the cloud. Technological singularity naturally will be also be spawn in the cloud. All it takes now is a spark or a rib (religious metaphor) when the time comes. My prediction is within 50 years. What comes after that is anyone's guess.

The World of by YUJI IJIRI/Carnegie-Mellon University Some time ago, my 10-year-old daughter asked me what I taught at school. I said, "accounting." Her response was: "I know 'counting. That's one, two, three, four." Suddenly it struck me how fundamentally different ac-counting is from counting. Counting is intrapersonal. One counts the objects all by oneself. Accounting, on the other hand, is inter-personal. Its primary function is not to count but to account for one's activities (on the part of the "accoun-tor") and their consequences to someone else (the "accountee"). The "accountant" enters as a third party so that the accountability relationship between the first two parties functions smoothly. Our society is founded upon a complex network of accountability. Corporations are accountable to share-holders and creditors for the use of their funds, to consumers for their products, to the public in general for the use of the public goods. Department heads are accountable to division managers, who are in turn accountable to headquarters. People are accountable to various governmental agencies in many areas of life, and in turn the government is accountable to the people for its activities. Based on the accountability relationship, the accountee is entitled to receive information on the accountor's present status, including the degree to which he has achieved the goal assigned to him. Financial statements are an example of such information supplied to the accountee. The accountant's role is to assure the "fairness" of the information supplied to the accountee. Thus, the auditors in an annual report emphasize that "the above financial statements present fairly the financial position and the operating results of the corporation." The question is: "What is the ultimate basis by which the accountant can judge what is fair!" To answer this question, we must note that the accountability relationship between, say, a You and an l, is quite different from the relationship between an I and an It^even if the I receives the same information concerning the You and the It. Why? Because the It does not complain that the performance score the accountant supplied to the 1 was unfair. The It does not complain that the information the accountant supplied to the 1 infringed upon its privacy. But the You does. In the world of I and It, fairness is judged only from the standpoint of the I, since the It is merely a tool of the 1. Fair-ness is nothing more than an accurate presentation of the behavior of the It. Therefore, a highly structured account-ing system based on a hierarchy of objectives, postulates, principles, and procedures can easily be implemented. In the world of I and You, however, there is often a great discrepancy between what the 1 considers to be fair and what the You considers to be fair. Somehow the accountant must decide between the two conflicting views. In some instances, in fact, applying a universal rule is alleged to be unfair, and so it is chopped down to a set of local rules. A highly logical system is thus crushed during the conceptual fight between the two parties. Nevertheless, most people do not think of the accoun-tant in terms of the world of I and You. Most accounting theories today discuss accounting only in terms of the world of I and it. The standard definition of accounting is: a system for supplying information to a decision maker, the 1, about his economic environment, the It. These theories almost never treat, as part of the economic environment, humans claiming their own rights. Unless people consider accounting in terms of the world of I and You, they can never understand the problems that the accounting profession must face up to. For example, naive observers often accuse the accoun-tant of adding apples and oranges, and of allocating the result arbitrarily. The reason why the accountant must add 38

There's no doubting Wyclef Jean's sincerity in his efforts to help Haiti amid the devastating earthquake that wrought destruction in his native country. He's seen the horror from the ground level, personally aided in relief efforts and his Yele Haiti Foundation has raised more than $2 million through a clever text-messaging system that allows people to instantly donate $5.
But all that doesn't – and shouldn't – exempt Jean's group from scrutiny. Reports by The Smoking Gun and The Washington Post cast doubt on the Yele Haiti Foundation's past handling of finances and its effectiveness as an non-governmental organization.
A clearly exhausted Jean defended his NGO in a YouTube video posted Saturday: "I've always been committed to the people of Haiti," he said.
His video came as news of generous six-and-seven-figure earthquake-relief donations from celebrities like Sandra Bullock, Madonna, Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie threatened to overshadow the formation of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, pairing former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
That isn't necessarily a bad thing. If word that Bullock gave $1 million to Doctors Without Borders spurs thousands of regular folks to give a few spare dollars, Haiti will benefit. George Clooney, in a replay of his response after the tsunami disaster, is among those organizing a telethon for Jan. 22. Jean will be Clooney's co-host.
It's heartening to see celebrity being used for good, with stars coming together to make an impact on a large financial scale while employing their fame to help keep what's really important in the public eye.
The efforts stand in contrast to Rush Limbaugh, who used his radio bullypulpit last week to declare that giving to a White House fund would be folly. The White House called Limbaugh's comments "really stupid," while his fellow conservative George W. Bush responded by co-chairing the White House's bi-partisan effort.
Still, there's a danger that comments like Limbaugh's may give some false cause to avoid giving when Haiti most needs help.
Which brings us back to Jean. In his YouTube video, the Fugees star insisted his charity is on the up and up, and promised to post more videos showing donations at work. "The proof, as we say in America, is in the pudding," he said.
So find inspiration to donate, whether it's in the heartbreaking images from Haiti, the words of three presidents or in the pleas of entertainers. How to help, no matter how modestly, is a personal decision.
Check out Jean's video below, read the articles, check out the Clinton-Bush site, watch the telethon, search you soul and make your own informed choice. There are a lot of options out there – standing by and doing nothing is not one of them.

US Military Comparisons
The following was a question emailed me from my 17 yr old daughter regarding
possible employment in the US military, and my response.
Being a retired military man of no small experience after 20 years of uniformed
service, I felt qualified to offer my child these quick assessments of the
various US Armed Forces. She is quite a precocious child.
Thought you might find it amusing... unless you're in the Air Force. ;) My
daughter says...
I'm interested in joining the Army, but I have a few setbacks.(gr?) The first
problem is that I don't know the difference between the Army, Army reserves,
Navy, Military, etc.
My reply...
A quick snapshot:
First, the "military" means you become a member of an armed organization, and
generally get trained to do something that will hopefully result in the death
and maiming of The Bad Guys. This is considered a GOOD THING in the military
forces, as opposed to the police forces, who get arrested by other police
forces for hurting The Bad Guys who hurt The Good Guys. No one knows why.
The Navy sails in big steel ships and generally floats about the planet, drinks
vast quantities of beer and other alcohol in port and shoots stuff with
torpedoes, missiles, and really big guns that can hurl Volkswagens over 17
miles. It is generally considered unsafe company for any female over the age of
13. They can also do these remarkable things from supersonic jets, submarines,
aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, river patrol boats and
occasionally, in an unauthorized manner from small pleasure craft. The Navy can
usually kill The Bad Guys from several hundred miles away, and sometimes even
thousands. They have the silliest looking male dress uniform, although the
women, inexplicably, seem to enjoy them. On the men. No one knows why.
The Army slogs on foot or drives through mud in a stupifying variety of
off-road vehicles, almost always armed; it builds flimsy bridges because they
generally sink in water and drinks lots of beer in camp or in Germany and
shoots stuff with rifles, grenades, cannons, rockets, small missiles, tanks,
and howitzers that can hurl 351 cubic-inch Windsor engines over 20 miles. They
can also do some of this from helicopters. They Army usually has to get really
really close to The Bad Guys to kill them. They have uniforms intentionally
designed to resemble dead or dying shrubbery.
The Marines attack beaches, jump in front of bullets thereon, drink vast
quantities of unidentifiable and usually noxious potations (that sometimes are
engulfed in flames, which explains the absence of facial hair on almost all
Marines), make strange barking noises for no apparent reason and shoot at
anything -- usually with rifles and cannons and a very small collection of
missiles. They can also do almost all of it from helicopters, jump-jets, and
supersonic fighters. They usually have to get pretty close to The Bad Guys to
kill them. They have the coolest looking dress uniforms. Their other uniforms
resemble living shrubbery, or perhaps even desert scrub. No one knows why.
The Air Force flies around in silly airplanes, fixes 'em, hold hands, drinks
Pink Ladies in their sissy bars and shoots stuff with the umbrellas from their
pansy drinks. They have to get right on top of, or behind, The Bad Guys to even
see them. They have silly robin's-egg blue uniforms.
The Coast Guard sails in little steel ships and generally floats around US
waters and rescues people, drinks small quantities of alcohol in a disgustingly
responsible manner and shoots stuff with rifles, machine guns, and tiny naval
cannon that can perhaps hurl small undressed children about 5 miles (but only
if The Bad Guys look like drug runners). They also have silly robin's-egg blue
uniforms. The Coast Guard is not gay. Usually.
The Reserves do this stuff part time (after boot camp and initial training),
one weekend a month and two weeks a year.

Residents swarmed the grounds of the Barnes Museum for the 11th annual Taste of Southington for a chance to sample foods from numerous local restaurants.
The event has enjoyed a steady increase in popularity over the years, even as tough economic times limited the amount of funds available to maintain it. This was the first time the event had been sponsored by a nearby business (TD Bank), which allowed organizers to add more tables, chairs and tents.
Favorable weather is always key to the event's success, and this year clear skies brought a large crowd as soon as the food was available.
"They were lining up well before 4 p.m.," said Barnes Museum curator Marie Secondo. "It's good that we've got that extra tent so they can spread out."
This year the participating restaurants included Spice Bar and Grill, Smokin' With Chris, Anthony Jack's, Zingarella, Paul Gregory's, Machiavelli's, Sixpence Pie Company, Moe's Southwest Grill, Randy's Wooster Street Pizza, Saint's, Cork and Brew and Frosted Couture Cupcakes.
Machiavelli's is a mainstay at the Taste of Southington, but server and bartender Jamie Bomova was handing out pizza slices for the first time.
"I'm shocked I didn't help out here sooner," she said. "It's a good idea to let people get a taste of everything."
For Randy's Wooster Street Pizza, the event was also a chance to spread the word about their recent relocation to Center Street.
"This event is fantastic," said owner Joe Rosinksi. "It helps us let people know that we're back in town."
In some cases, lines for the restaurant booths went outside the gates of the museum and onto the sidewalk. Once visitors had their food, they were free to find a seat, have their faces painted or tour the museum itself.
"I think that it's a good way to get the community out and give a restaurant a chance to promote themselves," said David Bartlett.
Later in the evening, the Music on the Green concert began and enticed residents to walk over after picking up their food. As for the event itself, David Zoni returned for another year of singing on the porch of the museum.
"It shows the family atmosphere Southington has," said Cassandra Mastrianni, the current Miss Southington. "It's fun to see how many people come out."

GREENLAND — A revolver found at the Greenland home where suspected drug dealer Cullen Mutrie opened fire on police on April 12 was purchased by Mutrie's one-time companion, Brittany Tibbetts, according to the state Attorney General's office.
Prosecutors investigating the shootout announced Wednesday that a Ruger .357-caliber revolver recovered from the home was purchased by Tibbetts at a gun show in Manchester on Jan. 16, 2012.
Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney was killed and four officers were wounded after Mutrie opened fire on members of the Attorney General's Drug Task Force as they attempted to enter his home earlier this month.
Documents unsealed in Portsmouth Circuit Court last week indicate Mutrie and Tibbetts were at the center of a months-long drug investigation by the task force.
The revolver is one of two handguns investigators have recovered from Mutrie's home and surrounding property at 517 Post Road.
Investigators have not yet confirmed the origin of the other handgun — a 9 mm pistol —� according to information provided by Associate Attorney General Jane Young on Wednesday.
According to a police affidavit unsealed last week, detectives believed Tibbetts was Mutrie's accomplice in the illicit sale of the painkiller oxycodone.
Members of Drug Task Force were attempting to execute two warrants when gunfire broke out on April 12: a warrant to search Mutrie's property, and another warrant to arrest Tibbetts.
When they requested the warrants on April 9, the Drug Task Force cited evidence that included reports from the U.S. Postal Service of suspicious packages destined for Mutrie's home and complaints of suspected drug activity from Mutrie's neighbors.
The task force also allegedly worked with an informant to purchase 10 oxycodone pills from Tibbetts at the Greenland home in January, according to the police affidavit, which was attached to the warrant authorizing this month's drug raid.
Mutrie, a former Hampton Falls firefighter, had been banned from owning firearms months before the April 12 operation was undertaken. Mutrie was ordered by a judge to relinquish his firearms following his arrest on an assault charge in 2010 and subsequent release on bail.
Greenland police arrested Mutrie on July 24, 2010, after they were dispatched to his home to assist with a domestic disturbance, according to records available in Rockingham Superior Court. He was charged with assault for allegedly grabbing the hair and right arm of a woman he was then dating.
The woman was granted an emergency restraining order, which called for Mutrie to relinquish possession of his firearms.
According to court records, Greenland police allegedly discovered various quantities of anabolic steroids stored inside Mutrie's coffee table when they searched the home for weapons.
Mutrie was indicted on four felony steroid possession the following year, each carrying a penalty of 31⁄2 to seven years in prison, if convicted.
Mutrie was scheduled to stand trial on the charges later this year, as well as the assault charge stemming from the domestic disturbance.
The restraining order against Mutrie, which prohibited him from owning weapons, had been dismissed before this month's shooting, according to attorney Stephen Jeffco, who was representing Mutrie in his upcoming trial.
However, Jeffco said a separate bail order, which remained in effect this month, also prohibited Mutrie from owning guns.
Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams confirmed on Friday that Mutrie was banned from owning firearms at the time of the shooting in Greenland.
When they arrived to search Mutrie's property this month, members of the Attorney General's Drug Task Force were carrying a so-called "no-knock" search warrant. The warrant authorized police to enter Mutrie's home at any time, day or night, without knocking on the door or announcing their presence.
After the shooting broke out, Mutrie barricaded himself inside the home with Tibbetts, and a tense standoff ensued.
On Monday, court officials in Portsmouth unsealed the search warrant authorizing State Police homicide investigators to comb Mutrie's property for evidence after the fatal shootout.
A police affidavit attached to the search warrant indicates Mutrie made contact with at least one person while he was hunkered down inside the home.
According to a police affidavit, released on Monday, the friend told police he was in communication with Mutrie a short time after the 6:22 p.m. shootings, and that Mutrie had "admitted that he'd shot the police officers."Mutrie also "made it clear" to his friend that he wasn't going to come out of his 517 Post Road home alive, according to the affidavit.
Officers briefly spoke with Mutrie inside the house and learned that Tibbetts was also inside the home. They soon lost contact, and several hours later, police used a robot to enter the home. They found the bodies of Mutrie and Tibbetts in the basement, dead of gunshot wounds.
The state's chief medical examiner has ruled that Tibbetts, a 26-year-old Berwick, Maine, resident, was killed and Mutrie committed suicide.
AG: Tibbetts purchased revolver used in Greenland shootings at gun show
GREENLAND — A revolver found at the Greenland home where suspected drug dealer Cullen Mutrie opened fire on police on April 12 was purchased by Mutrie's one-time companion, Brittany Tibbetts, according to the state Attorney General's office.

There's always something new happening in Dragon City. New islands to discover, amazing new dragons to own and new adventures to enjoy. In the run up to Christmas, we wanted to take a look back at all the fun stuff that's been happening in Dragon City over the last few weeks, so we caught up with our very own Dragon Master, Rick Cevallos, Project Manager on Dragon City mobile, to ask him for a quick round up on what's happening, what's new, and what's coming up. Dragon style.
Rick, what's up in Dragon City in the run up to the holiday season?
Lots of new things have been happening. In the last month we launched the amazing Castle Island – I hope players checked it out. Players who connect on Android and iOS will have seen the awesome Dino Island too, though. We gave our new players the chance to play again the Dino Island who missed out on the last time it was available. We also added two extra islands, so our high level players will have enough space to for their habitats and dragons. Normally we do improvements in performance and optimization every month, to help the game run smoother and create a better gameplay experience for our players.
We're always striving to improve playing experience – especially on Dragon City. We listen to players every day on our forums and support pages – so we try to focus on what's important for them. A major priority is to fix any bugs, and then to deliver great content. And awesome dragons.
Tell us a bit more about Castle Island and Dino Island – what do they offer players?
Well, it's really all about delivering special dragons to the player. New islands are themed around the new dragons that the player will get once he or she completes all of the quests for each island. The quests are related directly to actions within the game, such as breeding, collecting rewards from the habitats and so on. These islands are available to all players – but for a limited time only!
On Dino Island for instance, players can get two amazing Dino-themed dragons by completing the different quests the island offers. If you missed it before, like I say, don't worry. All islands are brought back for a limited time so those who missed out or new players get a chance to experience them and to get their awesome dragons.
Dino Island. Did you complete your quests?
One of the things you Dragon Masters are so proud of are the new Dragons you add to the game.
Yes, we add new dragons every week. To get them players usually go to the Black Market, or they complete a quest on an island. Or else they'll find insanely cool new dragons in the promotions we put out. These are the dragons that you can't get by breeding! We love creating new dragons. There are more than 200 dragons in Dragon City now – each one has its own personality, its own story and its own special identity.
What about the techie stuff – have you been fixing anything recently?
As the game grows with new islands and dragons we have to constantly update it to avoid issues and the game slowing down. Players have more dragons on the screen, so we need to make improvements to ensure that this can happen without any interruption to gameplay. When you think about the scale of the game, the challenge can be quite bit. Dragon City has 35 million players on three platforms: Facebook, iOS and Android. Keeping things working is a constant focus for my team.
How long have you been working on Dragon City?
Only since May 2013 and it's been a blast working in this team and on this game. It's a challenge to start working on such a successful game – when you think that what you do and every launch will be experienced by millions on people around the world.
So what's your favorite part of the game?
Breeding, of course. I love mixing different elements and seeing what I get. Even though I am aware of every single combination, I also get a surprise when I breed two dragons.
Who's your favorite dragon?
Can you keep a secret from the Ivory Dragon? I love him. But the Mars Dragon just blows my mind. Hahahaha. They're all really beautiful and each one has a ton of personality. Hard to choose..
Mars attacks. Rick goes googley-eyed over the Mars Dragon – this little guy is all about inter-galactic charm offensives.
So what have you got planned for Christmas in Dragon City? Can you give us a sneak peek?
What? And ruin the surprise for our players? I *can* tell you that it's Christmassy and there are a bunch of really nice promos and offers in our Winter Calendar. Enjoy!

SYRACUSE Citizens that have served our country in the military are deserving of, at the very least, recognition. To serve your country during perilous times is a great honor and a great sacrifice. The Oncenter War Memorial Arena is more than a place where the Syracuse Crunch play hockey, it is a living memorial to those that have served, and in some cases, those that have given their lives for our freedom. It is important to honor the individuals that have made the ultimate sacrifice.
The War Memorial Honor Wall is maintained by the Oncenter staff. The largest wall is for veterans that were residents of Onondaga County when they enlisted. Currently, this wall has over 62,000 names of residents that served in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. To add your name or a deceased family member's name to the wall, you need to complete a short form, which needs to be submitted with a copy of the Veteran's Military Separation Record. There are four different forms which are available at the Onondaga County Veterans Service office or the Oncenter. The necessary forms depend upon the time an individual served, if they were a resident of Onondaga County when they enlisted, if they have been a resident of Onondaga County for 10 years or more and the specific conflicts in which they have served. Staff at the Veterans Service Office and the Oncenter can guide you to the appropriate form. Once the form is completed, it can be submitted, along with the Military Separation Record, to the Oncenter at 800 S. State St., Syracuse, 13202.
If you or a family member would like to be honored at the Oncenter War Memorial Arena feel free to contact Onondaga County's Veterans Service Agency at 435-3217 or the Oncenter at 435-8000. You can also contact Legislators Dudzinski and Tassone at the legislature's office at 435-2070 for additional information.
Chet Dudzinkski represents the third district; this includes portions of the town of Cicero and the northwest portion of the town of Manlius. Chet welcomes constituent feedback; he can be reached by email at email@example.com.
Judy Tassone represents the fourth district; this includes the town of Geddes, the town of Salina and the village of Liverpool. Judy welcomes constituent feedback; she can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or at home, 457-5458.

Since the Bible is an accurate record of the lives of many people, it reveals the shortcomings and failures of human nature. It also tells of miraculous rescues of those who had become great disappointments to others and to themselves.
Abraham disappointed his wife, Sarah, by telling the kings of Egypt that she was his sister, in order to save his life. But this same man rebounded from weakness and became known as the friend of God and the father of the faithful.
Jacob disappointed his father, Isaac, by pretending to be his brother, Esau, so that he could receive the blessing of the firstborn son (Genesis 27). But later Jacob's name was changed to Israel, meaning "Prince with God", and in his older years he lived up to his new name.
Have others disappointed you? Don't give up on them. The best may be yet to come. More than any other, Jesus felt the wounds of disappointment from those He loved. He did not do many mighty works in His home area because so few there believed. Even after His perfect example of humility, two of His disciples, James and John, connived to get the highest places in the kingdom.
Peter denied his Lord three times just before the crucifixion. Thomas could not summon faith enough to believe in the resurrection without visible proof.
Yet in all these heartbreaking experiences, there is not one word of self-pity or bitterness from our Lord. Why?
Because He understood human nature and was not shaken by its ugly manifestations. He had not come to condemn but to save. Beyond even the cruel cross was the joy of rescuing lost people and giving them eternal life. He saw past the failures and sins to the future potential of those about Him. Many who had rejected Him would believe.
James and John who had desired the highest places in the kingdom would become faithful apostles, preachers and penman who would turn others to faith.
Peter would become the spokesman for the New Testament church.
Thomas would believe after a weak week and would finally give his life as a martyr, being thrust through with a spear and suffering a wound somewhat like the one he had once demanded to be able to thrust his hand into in order to believe.
These disappointing ones would become dynamic Christians, turning the world upside down with their powerful preaching of the Gospel that had been entrusted to them. They would rise up from defeat and go on to the greatest days of their lives.
Many have done just that. So can you. Your recent failures need not mean the end of meaningful living. The future can be brighter than the past. And a great future beats a great past every time.
God can make the difference for you. Like the Prodigal Son who came to himself in the pigpen and returned to his waiting father, you can return. You can rise up from defeat and receive your Heavenly Father's welcome.
Haven't you been defeated long enough?

Should Americans Re-elect Obama?
Rev. Austin Miles
The first question would be: Has life been better since Obama took office? A cable news program posed this question among random people on the streets of America. The majority of the answers were 'No, things are worse."
Obama's term in office has been wrought with disturbances, distractions and questions from the start.
The trust that a nation should have for it's president was immediately thwarted when Obama refused to present a valid birth certificate showing that he was born in America, as well as other papers that would account for his earlier years including college or university transcripts.
Not only did he refuse to provide them but spent over a million dollars to a law firm to block access to any of his papers. That created overwhelming suspicion of his entire White House occupation.
Making matters worse, according to information provided by Bob Boyd, host of the national radio program, Issues in Education, it was shown that he had several social security cards, one being from Connecticut where he never lived. The card he has used belonged to Jean Paul Ludwig who was born in France, died in Hawaii, and his S.S.number had 042 at the beginning which is only given to those who have lived most of their adult life in that state. Obama never lived or worked in Connecticut. Using that SS Card Number and how it was obtained raised more questions.
Despite it all, are we better off since Obama took over the White House? With everyone losing their jobs, homes and even having our national security threatened by Obama who emboldens our enemies by constantly apologizing for "Arrogant America," the answer is obvious.
Plus he has created the greatest debt in the history of this nation. So big that it can never be paid off, meaning that those from whom he borrowed that money now actually own The United States and in turn...us.. He actually sold our country and our lives to other nations.
How about the school system? He sold that as well to those who now use schools to promote devious lifestyles to replace classic academics that at one time produced brilliance but now are turning the schools into cathedrals of defiance, violence and perversion.
How does Obama handle presidential duties? He bows to Muslim leaders, as well as other world leaders such as the Emperor of Japan, something no other president in history has done. He invites Muslims to the White House on their special days, while refusing to meet with Christians on any occasion even though Christianity was at the heart of the very founding of America. Oh yes, he has spoken against the Founding Fathers declaring their government model 'unworkable.' He said he plans to correct that.
How has he treated American Citizens? If love is expressed by threatening, then we can say he has treated us well. When he could not get his way on raising the debt ceiling even more, he struck out at all citizens by threatening to not pay Social Security Retirees, Military Retirees, Social Security Disability and Federal Retirees.
It is peculiar that he did NOT threaten to take internet access away from violent inmates, stop payments to illegal aliens, take benefits away from welfare recipients, the food stamp program, or foreign aid to countries hostile toward us.
He threatens citizens who pay the taxes that supports HIS desires and lavishness. To be fair, he did NOT threaten to not pay the senators, representatives or any of their staff members, or to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired, nor to cut down the frivolous lavish vacations and 'date trips,' for he and his wife, using Air Force One to take them, at more cost to us, the taxpayers, who do well to support our own families.
This is only a partial examination in an attempt to answer the question: SHOULD Americans Re-elect Obama? What do YOU think?

Ether is a colourless liquid which causes unconsciousness. Ether had been discovered in 1275, and its hypnotic effects noted in 1540 by the German botanist and chemist Valerius Cordus (1515-44). His contemporary Paracelsus also noted that it could be used to produce sleep.
Ether began being used as a medical treatment in 1794, and had a reputation as a recreational drug in the 1800s. From the 1840s 'ether frolics' involved the inhalation of ether at parties, which were often held by medical students. The use of ether specifically as an anaesthetic in dental and surgical procedures began in the 1840s. Its history was marked by bitter quarrels over who had first begun to use it this way. The Boston dentist William Morton was particularly active in attempting to patent its use.
Ether drinking was common in Scotland, Norway, Russia and France. But it was particularly popular in Ireland, where the Catholic Church promoted abstinence from alcohol. People pledged not to drink alcohol but from the mid-1840s the Irish consumed ether as a way to get around their pledge - it was drunk neat and the mouth was washed out with cold water before and after.
The British government had worked hard to prevent the illegal distillation of alcohol, but ether was a legal substitute. Like alcohol, it was sold in pubs. It was also available from shops, and groups of women would hold ether parties in their houses. From 1890 the sale of ether was strictly limited in Ireland by the British government after it was classified as a poison. By the 1840s, most surgeons used chloroform instead of ether.

Iowa officials seek comment on hunting, trapping
May 05, 2013 at 09:38 PM
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials are encouraging the public to comment on proposed changes to several hunting and trapping seasons.
The state Department of Natural Resources says the changes would affect furbearer season, resident deer hunting, waterfowl and pigeon seasons, as well as the wildlife refuge list.
The changes range from adding more counties to the list of open areas for bobcats and reducing the quota of paid antlerless deer licenses. There are adjustments to waterfowl season dates, and proposed additions to the list of counties that are waterfowl refuges.
Officials also want to make pigeon season year round to give dove hunters more options.
Public comments will be accepted until a public hearing on May 23 in Des Moines.

How to run a pop-up restaurant
If you're planning on running a pop-up restaurant or bar, don't think you're going to make a small fortune out of it – temporary operations tend not to be very lucrative, if at all. The costs and overheads associated with a temporary structure, be it for one night, one week or a month, can mount up to the point where you're charging ridiculous sums of money for each cover.
"For us it's more of a marketing exercise than a revenue generating exercise," explains Lee Behan, founder of the Friday Food Club which is hosting a series of pop-up restaurants at Soho's Meza. "The seats are selling for £68 and out of that we have to cover the costs of food, front of house and kitchen staffing, marketing, back of house and alcohol. After that we're lucky if we come out breaking even. It's all a PR exercise really."
The notion of running a pop-up can also be a logistical nightmare, organising and training an often completely new team to cope with a new menu and space in a very short period of time. But if done properly, the temporary operation can return valuable exposure for your business.
Adam Fellows, owner of Goodfellows seafood restaurant in Wells, Somerset, and the operator of Glastonbury's first pop-up fine dining restaurant in 2009, said the biggest return he saw was an uplift in business at his main restaurants.
"The one big spin off from Glastonbury was that we had a really big knock on effect from a PR point of view," he says. "Lots of people that lived 1-2 hours away from the festival site came back to visit our main restaurants in Somerset afterwards. The PR effect is invaluable and difficult to quantify but the pop-up certainly produced a really good buzz and we did get some customers off the back of it."
Step one: Location
If you're intent on running a pop-up, the first thing you need to get clear is where you want to do it. You could choose to take advantage of the high footfall provided by pre-arranged festivals and events, or generate high levels of interest by hosting your pop-up within a well-known, already established restaurant or bar.
Wherever you choose, make sure you think about how your location relates to your own offer and target audience, and ensure they both complement each other. This holds true whether you decide upon an existing restaurant or bar space, a festival, a street corner, empty building or rooftop.
"All the brands we've chosen to work with have been carefully selected," says Eadaoin O'Brien, hospitality manager for Harvey Nichols, which has hosted a range of pop-ups from the likes of Mahiki rum and patissier Claire Clark. "That's the most important starting out point, that the brand you choose to work with is the most appropriate for you and your customer profile.
"Our aim is to work with a like-minded brand that our customers' experience will be maximised."
Also bear in mind the location's surrounding demographic and existing operation: the last thing you'd want is to run a pop-up restaurant with 100 covers on a Saturday night in a space in London's West End that would usually do 95 covers anyway.
"We try to look at places where the covers earlier in the week might not be as strong as later in the week, so it's a win-win situation for both you and the owner/operator of the building you're using," adds Behan.
Step two: Menu
Keep it simple, especially for your first pop-up attempt anyway. You'll be working in unfamiliar surroundings with potentially a team of front of house and kitchen staff you don't know and who aren't used to your menu, so trusting waiters to perfectly serve liquid nitrogen ice cream at the table could be foolish.
"If you're popping up in a restaurant where you've got to use the existing kitchen brigade and all your dishes are hot and complex, you might want to rethink that to give yourself some breathing space throughout your service and menu," says Behan.
"However you must still serve great tasting food. Ultimately the food you serve is the most important thing - it has to stand up to expectations. Make sure you know your menu inside out comfortably, and that your front of house team knows what they're doing because they can make or break you."
Price your menu according to what your customer can afford. If you're popping up at a local food festival, passers-by aren't going to be tempted by fine dining prices, no matter how incredible your offer is.
Despite his restaurants being high end operations, Fellows charged less than £10 a dish at his Glastonbury pop-up, which was in fact relatively expensive for a festival menu.
"You have to be conscious that most people will be paying in cash, and that there's a limit to what they are willing to pay," he says. "If you do it year on year you could build the price up but ultimately if it's a festival people are there for the music and as much as you need to cover your costs, you have to fit within that."
Step three: Logistics
The majority of planning for your pop-up will likely go into its design and operation. As with any new restaurant launch, think about the amount of covers you can feasibly do with your staff size, what layout will enable you to effectively turn the tables and how the space will be decorated to communicate your brand/ pop-up's message.
On top of this you'll also need to consider where you'll source your kitchen equipment from, how you're going to have your gas, electricity and water supplied (if you're not in an existing restaurant or bar), what licenses you'll need for the period of your pop-up, and what regulatory requirements you'll need to meet.
License requirements can vary from council to council so it's best to get in touch with your local authority as early as possible to ensure you have everything signed off in time for launch.
Some licences you may be required to obtain include: Late licence, alcohol licence, live music permission, fire safety and environmental health approval, licence from the owner of the land the restaurant will be located on.
Step four: Marketing
Pop-up restaurants are hardly a new concept, and with so many around, how can you entice diners to yours instead of the next big thing to hit London?
"It's about having a story to sell and not something that's been done a hundred times as you won't generate any interest," claims O'Brien, who will often choose operators with a new product to sell or business to promote.
Dehan however chose a number of high profile chefs that weren't usually accessible to diners to help co-host his pop-up, which is run alongside Anna Hansen's Modern Pantry at Meza this month.
However the best way to spread the word about your new pop-up is through social media, namely Twitter. Former Masterchef winner Mat Follas' Kai We Care pop-up restaurant, held last night at One Moorgate Place, was the result of a musing on Twitter that ended up generating interest from across the hospitality industry, and over £60k for the New Zealand Earthquake relief.
"Twitter is unbelievable as a marketing tool," exclaims Behan. "If you can create a buzz around your pop-up you'll find the phone starts ringing almost immediately."
All this month we'll be looking closely at how others have successfully run pop-up restaurants and bars, starting next week with Adam Fellows' Goodfellows Glastonbury pop-up.

Are we back? Is Blogger really working?
Hoping so, I have posts to share and things to do! And I really don't want to migrate the entire blog over to another service, that just sounds difficult.
As for lunches, I've got a few to share, a fun book review, and hopefully a good cooking experiment (after we make it, of course). But until all that happens, I'm sharing one of Faith's lunches.
We had leftover mini buns, so we used those for sandwiches. She has turkey and cheese on one of them, along with veggies straws, freshly sliced strawberries, carrots & cucumber. It's packed in a 4 square Lock & Lock container with only 3 of the insets. The sandwich was slightly too large to fit in the 4th box but fit perfectly without it.
The picks are the ones she and I made for her birthday using Perler beads. The flower itself pops off, so we can reuse it on a different toothpick if we need to! The tutorial for these is here and they are quite easy to make. I think we're going to branch out into other designs!

I love this! I actually bought mini hamburgers tonight- so this idea would be perfect for my kiddos lunches!ReplyDelete
I also love the box!
uhhh looks great!!! :DReplyDelete
where do you find the veggie straws? I've been wanting to pick them up to try in my boys lunches and have had no luck! Are they are regional thing?ReplyDelete
Sprouts carries them, as does Aldi. Believe it or not, I found these ones at the Dollar Tree when I was going to go get pretzels!ReplyDelete

Does transparency hobble effective governance?
A remarkable debate on transparency and open government took place on March 15, 2016 at the Reynolds Journalism Institute and the Truman School of Public Affairs at the University of Missouri, Missouri, USA. The issue was: Is American Government too open? Professor Bruce E. Cain of Stanford University argued that "Yes, American Government Is Too Open", and Professor Charles Lewis of American University, Washington DC, argued that "No, American Government is Not Too Open". You can watch the debate here.
It is a rich and illuminating exchange, and one that the two professors somehow manage to keep civil. I watched the debate online but in what follows I draw from the written commentary submitted by both professors, and I try to focus on the universally applicable points that each one made.

"(Re)touching lives" in the wake of Japan's tsunami
Self-proclaimed "pale, gray creature" (i.e. photo retoucher) Becci Mason spent three weeks helping in Japan in the immediate aftermath of the tsunami. Soon after she turned to restoring photos lost & found in the wreckage. PetaPixel writes,
Within 2 weeks after putting out a call for help, she found herself with 150 volunteers willing to offer their time and services. Half a year later, the Photo Rescue volunteer count had ballooned to 1,100.
In the end, Mason's efforts led to over 135,000 photographs being cleaned, and hundreds were retouched and returned to their owners.
Fantastic work.
There is also this effort. http://www.operationphotorescue.org/

Jesus: A Servant of God
By Imam Shabir Ally It will be quickly obvious that they often referred to him as a servant of God, but never Son of God. Peter, for example, said: "The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus" (Acts 3:13). Peter further said: "God raised up his servant" (Acts 3:26),

Sean Avery, Mark Sanchez and the model Hilary Rhoda all have experience in the magazine world. Avery famously interned for Vogue last summer, which has provided him entry into a fashion scene usually out of reach to hockey players. Rhoda is a model which led her to a GQ photo shoot with Sanchez where, if reports were accurate, the two kids did more than just pose together.
Sanchez has been busy with his job of late, and negotiating a massive contract to boot, which may have left Rhoda with time on her hands. Being a model, she's in that fashiony scene that Avery inhabits with regularity now that the Rangers season is over. They met somewhere because they were reportedly getting awfully friendly at a bar in Murray Hill.
"They were doing shots of Jack Daniels and Patron, and she had her hands on his arm as they canoodled at the corner of the bar," a source told Page Six. "Sanchez was nowhere to be found."
At least Sanchez has Boomer Esiason to keep him warm at night.
Sanchez took a lot of ribbing from his teammates for the initial photo shoot, although a good bit of that was probably mitigated by coming home with Rhoda on his arm. Losing her to a guy who is leading the shorts suit revolution will probably ratchet things back up, however.
As for Avery, this is a big surprise. What with all his lectures about "sloppy seconds," you'd never guess he'd go this route for companionship.

Either way, you were going to hate J.P.
If Roy Halladay had been traded yesterday for the package that the Phillies were willing to offer (i.e. without Kyle Drabek coming back), J.P. would have been roundly criticized for not maximizing the return on Halladay. But now that the Phillies have decided not to overwhelm the Jays and instead went with a much more affordable option in Cliff Lee, people are accusing Ricciardi of...well, basically, everything. Not pushing hard enough to get a deal done; not having a plan; having too many plans; covering his ass; going back on his word...really, people just want to think that J.P. is either evil or inept (and probably both) and that this team is imploding becuase of him.
But really: Wasn't J.P. pretty clear about the possibility of a Halladay trade right from the beginning? Didn't he say that he'd listen, but he's have to be wowed? Because that is precisely our recollection, and it is pretty much exactly how things have played out.
Of course, with the possibility that Halladay sticks around through the rest of this year comes the knowledge that his inevitable trade out of the city or decision to test free agency is pretty much all that anyone is going to be talking about for the next 12 to 18 months. Any discussion of this team will pretty much begin and end with a discussion of what's going to happen with Halladay. Great.
To get ourselves through this prolonged transition period, we're going to drink a lot. And then we're going to talk about the remote scenario that Halladay comes back next season, the Jays go on a tremendous run, make the playoffs, and Halladay re-signs with the team to get his ring here.
It could happen. Now where did we put the Knob Creek again?

I was openly critical of Ricciardi yesterday for contributing to the Roy Halladay Circus yesterday, fanning the media flames with his many public comments.
I still don't know how I feel about his handling of the situation. Absolutely agree - he had to do his job and listen to what was out there. But along the way, it went from "we're just listening" to "it's 50/50" to "we're going to hold him and try to win next year."
Now, I understand things change as the winds of shit blow.....but now the org is going to have to go into full damage control mode over his "what's changed is we're gonna lose him after 2010" comment that really stoked the fires. Right or wrong (and from my perspective - wrong), all the major media outlets, fans in other markets, and asshat Jaystalk callers will now view the failure to strike a deal as just that - a failure.
The whole affair just doesn't reflect well on the franchise, and you have to wonder if the Jays have lost some currency with Doc as well.
- July 30, 2009 at 11:10 AM
JP is a douchebag, pure and simple. A lot of fans don't want Halladay traded AND they don't want JP to do it. JP has made a mess of this, like Omar has down in NYC. The Jays are seen as a laughing stock already and this plea of attention is a joke on top of it. Can anyone imagine if Doc goes to Boston or the Yankees? I think the Rogers grok that. JP might want to help Boston(a conspiracy theory only) or what not but to what end? Anyway, Screw JP and good riddance to him and I hope this is his last hurrah.

Whatever you think of JP any new president coming in is going to start anew by letting JP go. He assembled a nice core team for the Jays but his negatives have defintely outweighted the positives.
Above all; no meaningful games played under his tenure.

I think we might need something a little stiffer than Knob Creek. I think some good old fashioned Newfoundland Screech to numb the pain.

I say that by this time tomorrow, Halladay will be traded to the Red Sox.
- July 30, 2009 at 11:39 AM
I sort of like JP. He just talks too much. Which, while often embarassing, I kind of like.
I'd like to request You Talk Too Much by G.Tgood for the Friday rock out in honour of JP.

- JDot said...
All I know is that JP did not settle. Love him or hate him, at least he didn't settle for garbage. Check out the Cleveland blogs or newspapers, everyone is outraged with that deal.
I'm getting sick of JP but at least he's not Shapiro.
Keith Law for GM, seriously.
- July 30, 2009 at 12:04 PM
- eyebleaf said...
I'm with JDot; I'm glad J.P. didn't settle. It says something about the asking price when the four prospects going Cleveland's way weren't even on the Jays' radar. Clearly Ricciardi asked for the moon for the best pitcher in baseball.
He didn't have to trade him, and he didn't. It's like there's a feeling of disappointment b/c Ricciardi didn't get the deal done. It's ridiculous.
J.P. is a PR fucking nightmare, that's about it. While I agree we haven't played meaningful games during his tenure, he's done more good than bad during his time in T.O.
Pennant in 2010. With Doc.

er, on doping list...
- July 30, 2009 at 12:45 PM
Weren't Cleveland fans also pissed when Bartolo Colon was traded for prospects Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee, and Brandon Phillips?
I'm thinking Shapiro's job is safe.

- MK Piatkowski said...
I'm just happy that Doc's staying (crossing fingers). If that means that people dump on JP, so be it. At least he's saying now what I've been wanting to hear throughout this fiasco - let's take a run at it next year. We're not that far away.
- July 30, 2009 at 1:28 PM
- Ian Gray said...
My position through this whole ridiculous circus has been that it may very well have made sense for the Jays to trade Doc, but that if it did then that was more or less an admission of failure from the front office. If JP can put together a winner for next season, I'll be the first to praise him. On the flip side, I don't think it's unreasonable, at this point, to want results.
- July 30, 2009 at 2:32 PM
The knob creek is in my mouth.

I am going to Baltimore to see Red Sox / O's game on Sunday then the Marlins @ Nationals on Tuesday. If Doc is a Red Sock by then I will be rocking his Jays jersey on Sunday.

Christopher, don't say shit like that.
Hey Ack, your boy Dopirak was RAKING last night.
- July 30, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Didn't Beeston tell the organization to shut up about this stuff last week? Why is JP still stirring the water?
- July 30, 2009 at 6:01 PM
@ Chistopher, you are persona non grata...enjoy being a lonely Red Suck fan... pun intended.
@ Gay Jays Fan...You stole my name. And your wrong teh Knob Creek is stuck up in your butthole!LOL
@ Anon JP is an attention whore. PERIOD! He can't keep his bleeding mouth shut. He would make a great carnival barker OR a worker or a gay peep show!I just had to throw that in there all y'all!

Seems people like to hate on JP just to hate on JP, whether it's out of frustration about not winning or him not being able to make moves because of ownership, I don't know.
But criticism of his handling of this Doc trade is just ridiculous. From the very beginning he's been consistent, almost boringly consistent, that they'd listen to offers but they'd have to be wowed. We got just about every possible permutation of that sentence over the last 3 weeks over and over. Of course, the US media took this to mean they were actively selling Doc and since big teams are involved, ESPN is all over it. I don't get how any of his statements have been "PR". And Ack, that "it's 50/50 we're going to trade him" wasn't his quote, that was reporters guessing. Like I said, all of JP's statements have been boringly consistent and yet because of Twitter, blogs, forums, even straight-forward stances can get nitpicked and over-analyzed to death. Isn't it possible that JP thought all along that this team could contend and he only put Doc on the block to see what he's worth because ownership told him to do so? That makes way more sense than a GM smoothly crafting public perception. How did he even get that reputation in the first place? The guy is incapable of filtering his opinions; he says whatever's on his mind the minute he thinks of it.
- July 31, 2009 at 1:56 AM
- The Ack said...
Not to quibble too much about semantics, SP, but:
"jays gm jp ricciardi, baseball's busiest man, just told me he pegs chances for a halladay trade at "50-50."
That's from Heyman - I know, I know - but he couldn't possibly lie about a direct quote. That would be fucked up.
Anyway, deadline can't come soon enough.
- July 31, 2009 at 9:34 AM
- SP said...
If he did say that, what's so incriminating about it? He IS trying to make a trade right? Otherwise he has maintained the "we need to be wowed", "we haven't been wowed", "I don't see us being wowed", "there is nothing going on right now" talk.
- July 31, 2009 at 11:12 AM
- The Ack said...
Regardless, nothing is going to happen today. It's too late in the game for something to get pulled together, I would think. The Halladay Saga is going to be the death of us all.

Before you can connect to your network you will need to make sure you have the LG remote control, LG Wireless Adapter (model PW-DN427), and a router/modem. Pending on the Home Theatre System's specifications it may feature a built-in Wi-Fi adapter at which point there will be no need for the above mentioned Wi-Fi dongle.
Is your home wireless network already set up and working for other devices?
If so,
If not,
Connect the PW-DN427 LG Wi-Fi adapter to the Home Theatre system while powered on.
Once the adapter has been connected, a message should appear -"Connecting the wireless USB dongle. Network is not connected. Do you want to set the Network?"
Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed. If the above message does not appear, access the Setup Menu to manually choose the Network Settings option.
Selecting the Network Setting Type
Setting from the AP List is the standard setting type.
After searching for Access Points, the list of networks in range will be displayed here. The customer can choose from the available networks then click 'Connect'.
The device will now attempt to successfully communicate with the selected router or access point.
If the access point was not broadcasting during the time of the initial search, press the Access Point Search button to re-scan for available networks.
If the network is password protected, the customer will be prompted to enter the Network Key after connecting to the router. The Network Key is case sensitive and must be entered exactly. Note: to change the keyboard from T9 to a full on-screen keyboard, press the volume up/down key.
Alternative Methods for Connectivity
Select the IP Settings
In order to access the IP Settings
Auto IP Setting (Most Common)
Select Auto IP Setting from the on-screen menu.
Using the Auto Setting is the most common and simplest form of connecting to a network and will allow you to connect without entering in any information.
Manual IP Setting (Advanced, Less Common)
If you prefer to set the IP Settings manually, you may need to contact your Internet Service Provider to obtain the necessary IP information. You can attempt to do the following manually using the steps below.
Windows XP:
Select the "Start" menu and highlight "Run"
In the dialogue box, type "CMD" then click 'OK'
In the command prompt window, type "ipconfig/all" then click 'Enter'.
The IP address of the computer, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server is displayed.
Windows 7:
By knowing the IP address of the computer or a router on the network, you can assign this device an IP address. You simply change the last set of numbers to a number that is not being used by any other device on the network.
The additional information (Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS) from the command window can be entered into the remaining fields of the IP settings on the LG device.

This is part 4 in my terse hashes in emacs lisp series
- Terse Hashes in Emacs Lisp
- Data::Dumper in Emacs Lisp
- Terse Hash Dereferencing
- Terse Hashes Miscellany
Okay, time to wrap up with the terse hashes.
The built-in hash tables have equivalents to the perl
exists and
delete, but again, the argument order does not feel right to me.
Having looked at ruby a bit over the past few months, I've decided I like predicates ending with a question mark1 rather than a
(defsubst exists? (hash key) (not (eq (gethash key hash 'missing-key) 'missing-key))) (defsubst del-hash! (hash key) (remhash key hash))
And the other thing I rely on a lot in perl is
keys so I can choose the traversal order with sort.
(defun keys (hash) (let (keys) (maphash (lambda (k v) (push k keys)) hash) keys))
I need a decent
less than method
(defun generic/less (val1 val2) (if (and (numberp val1) (numberp val2)) (< val1 val2) (let ((v1 (prin1-to-string val1)) (v2 (prin1-to-string val2))) (string< v1 v2))))
and then this sort of thing just works
(defvar %hash (_h { 1 2 'a 'x 5 6 10 "lemon" })) (sort (keys %hash) #'generic/less) ;; --> (1 5 10 a)
1. Was this first in scheme?

The Contextual Learning staff will be welcoming you back from internship on Wednesday, Sept. 5, the second day of classes. The day's chapel service will call attention to the fact that you and your intern colleagues have returned from internship to begin the "final launch phase" of your seminary training.
In the afternoon, we'll host a reception in the NW Atrium at 1:30 p.m. Following that, we'll move to NW 100 Auditorium for a plenary session and small group discussion from 2-5 p.m.
During the plenary, two of your colleagues will make brief presentations about their internship setting, as well as case study from the year. Each will be asked to describe what happened and then reflect on how they responded and what they learned about themselves and ministry in the process.
Following these presentations, we will break into small groups to reflect on a couple of questions:
Faculty will be invited to listen in on the plenary and small group conversations. In doing so, they'll have opportunity to learn about your internship experience and what it will bring to your academic work and your formation for future ministry.
We hope and pray that this day will be helpful as you reflect on your internship experience and shift your focus toward the future.
