Round 11 of A-League action kicks off tonight with league leaders Sydney FC taking on Adelaide United at Hindmarsh Stadium. Adelaide United v Sydney FC Hindmarsh Stadium Friday, October 16 Kick-off: 7:30pm local (8:00pm AEDT) The Sky Blues have kicked to a two-point lead at the top of the table, winning three of their past four outings whilst the Reds continue to mix their form, this time coming off a 1-0 loss to Perth Glory.
Last week, Sydney dismantled Melbourne Victory in Melbourne to stamp their authority on the competition and have every chance of winning away from home for the second week in a row due to the fact they have minimal casualties.
Vitezslav Lavicka has an embarrassment of riches in his squad and can add young guns Kofi Danning and Rhyan Grant to his list of potential starters for tonight's clash.
In the Reds camp, Daniel Mullen and Paul Reid return from injury which is a boost for Aurelio Vidmar but at the same time, skipper Travis Dodd will miss with a calf injury.
In his absence, it is hard to see the Reds overcoming the high-flying Sky Blues who should prove too strong despite being away from the Sydney Football Stadium. Verdict:Sydney 2-0.
Brisbane Roar v Central Coast Mariners Suncorp Stadium Saturday, October 17 Kick-off: 6:00pm local (7:00pm AEDT) What a week it has been for the Brisbane Roar.
Coach Frank Farina was given the boot this week after being caught drink-driving last weekend and after sitting third just a few weeks ago, find themselves clinging onto sixth spot.
A narrow loss to Gold Coast United last week was probably not the result the Roar was looking for but their 1-0 salute over current league leaders Sydney FC in Round 8 shows they are capable of performing.
Meanwhile, the Mariners are coming off a 1-1 draw at home with bottom side North Queensland Fury and need to improve sharply to overcome the Roar who will be playing for new coach Ange Postecoglou.
The key is the return of Australia defender Craig Moore from international duty to the Roar line-up. Verdict: Roar 1-0.
North Queensland Fury v Wellington Phoenix Dairy Farmers Stadium Saturday, October 17 Kick-off: 8:00pm local (9:00pm AEDT) The Fury have proved to be the hard luck story of the A-League this season.
They have lost just once since round 3 but have not been able to land the killer blow on more than one occasion (1-0 away win over Sydney FC).
If any sort of luck falls their way they are good enough to beat the Phoenix but in sport you make your own luck and Ian Ferguson needs to get his men firing.
Key midfielder Ufuk Talay returns from suspension which is a positive for the Fury but the season-ending knee injury of defender Scott Wilson is sure to put a dampener on things.
The Phoenix are coming off a week off due to the New Zealand national team's World Cup qualifier against Bahrain and should be fresh going into much warmer conditions than they are used to.
Ricki Herbert is expected to make little, if any, changes to the team that held Gold Coast United to a scoreless draw in round 9 but I think the Fury, led by Robbie Fowler, will be good enough to record a much-needed victory. Verdict: Fury 1-0.
Newcastle Jets v Melbourne Victory EnergyAustralia Stadium Sunday, October 18 Kick-off: 3:00pm Beware a proud club who has been wounded.
That relates to reigning champions Melbourne who were demolished in front of just over 30,000 loyal fans by Sydney FC last week.
Ernie Merrick's men rarely go down two weeks in a row and the loss to rivals Sydney will be hurting more than any other they have had so far this season.
The Victory will lose recruit Robbie Kruse who may miss up to three weeks with a hamstring injury but apart from that will almost be at full-strength.
The Jets are also coming off a quiet week as their round 10 game with Wellington was postponed until early November.
A week off to freshen could be the tonic they need to turn their recent form of three losses and two draws around but the loss of former Victory man Ljubo Milicevic will hurt.
Young Socceroos trio Ben Kanatrovski, Sean Rooney and Jason Hoffman are all back from the U20 World Cup and will provide some much-needed youthful exuberance into a team who has stagnated in the past five weeks.
The Victory will rue their performance last week and I cannot see them displaying themselves so poorly this week. Verdict: Victory 2-1.
Gold Coast United v Perth Glory Skilled Park Sunday, October 18 Kick-off: 4:00pm local (5:00pm AEDT) Finally, an intriguing battle between second-placed Gold Coast and third-placed Perth.
The pair are only separated by goal difference, highlighting the tightness of the top few teams at the moment.
Two enormous inclusions for United are striker Shane Smeltz who is back from international duty with New Zealand as midfielder Jason Culina has finished his duties for Australia and should take his place in the starting line-up.
Those two alone, if they start, should be too much for the Glory to handle but we have seen teams take it right up to United and if any team can it's the Glory.
Dave Mitchell's charges have won three of their past four which reads well for this assignment but the two top-scoring sides in the league are too hard for me to separate. Verdict: Draw 2-2.

The teachers' strike will go ahead on Thursday after ministers failed to reach a settlement with union leaders over pension reforms. After two hours of talks, the unions and government were still fundamentally divided, said Brendan Barber, the general secretary of the Trades Union Congress.
The National Union of Teachers estimates that up to 85% of Englands primary and secondary schoold will be either closed or partly closed, sending millions of children home.
The heated debate among Guardian readers continued on the site.
BloodyTories wrote:
I'm tired of all of these suggestions that striking is somehow immoral. It's a basic right of all people to have the power to withdraw their labour. Anything else is slavery.
JSMillitant responded:
Quite right - and it's a basic right of all employers to sack you and get someone prepared to go the job for the terms and conditions they can afford to offer!

But it's not all strikes and gloom on the Guardian education site – to be reminded why good teachers are so vital, watch teachers and students at Kingsbury high, north London, take to the stage to rap the year 9 poetry syllabus
Education news from the Guardian
• Why are private school teachers joining the strike? Independent teachers are as likely to be members of the government pension scheme as their state counterparts, but Lord Hutton recommends the scheme should no longer be available to them.
• The government's white paper on higher education is expected to propose university "naming and shaming", giving more power to students to ensure they get their money's worth, and measures to allow popular universities to take in any student who gains at least two A grades and a B at A-level. Labour and the National Union of Students warn that the reforms would see the quality of degree courses suffer and leave students open to "market chaos".
• One of the most celebrated jewels in the crown of the British state system, Holland Park comprehensive in West London, has decided to become an academy. The school's head, Colin Hall, says he's aware this would be a feather in the hat for the DfE, but explains:
"We are a confident enough institution that we would have ignored the direction of travel if we hadn't really agreed with it. We belong to ourselves, not to a political party, and we are making this decision in the context of our school and its children."
Not everyone, however, is happy with the decision.
• How can schools with many pupils facing major struggles ever hope to meet the new government GCSE targets? The Ramsgate school was considered one of the worst in Britain. But after it re-opened as Marlowe academy it managed to raise student grades to close to the national average. Yet, only 14% of pupils at the school achieved the recently introduced Ebacc standard, causing it to plummet back down to the bottom of the league tables.
• European academics are outraged by a new attempt to categorise arts and humanities journals.
Guardian views
Debra Humphris: Why are universities being asked to raise the access targets again?
Estelle Morris: The government is making many small changes, but their cumulative effect goes far beyond the schools at which they are aimed

• Though the average applications per job have risen to 83 in 2011 (it was 31 in 2008), The Association of Graduate Recruiters report that graduate job opportunities are continuing an upward trend. Starting salaries have also risen, reports the BBC
• A study by the National Autistic Society shows many autistic children having to wait a year or more to get help at school. 18% of the parents of children with the condition even said they had to go to a tribunal to win the right help for their child, reports the Independent

Nope...I don't think it is unethical... by the way whose ethics are we talking about?I agree, by who's ethics? I've never seen anything written by EB or Gamestop that you have to return the pre-order item if you return the product, whether it is a physical or digital item.
The armour is the same mould as the series 7 Space Marine. Not quite so sure about the green toilet seat gun though :P Be interested to see what connections the armour has on the back, as it seems to have a 'jet pack' attached somehow as well.Definitely looks like the same armor as the S7 Marine. Lol at the toilet.

He seems particularly unhappy at those 3 2x2 Black Bricks!!Thanks princedraven! Just snorted some coffee - it was that or spray it on my laptop.

Yes you can via play.com, see here: http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/comment/74245/#Comment_74245many thanks
If you preorder the PC version, it's half the price of the Xbox/PS3 and you still get Lex.They price seems to vary depending on whether you get the Lex Luthor fig or not. Doesn't this defeat the point of a free giveaway? Seems to be the case for the PS3, PC and DS versions.
Can you pre-order, and then just take the game back? Or is this just unethical?Having managed a Gamestop for a couple years I can tell you that the policy is yes you can. I argued this with my District manager all the time because certain games would become over stocked on my shelves because of awesome pre order content. As long as the receipt is there and the game is unopened Gamestop does the return in the method of payment.
Be interested to see what connections the armour has on the back, as it seems to have a 'jet pack' attached somehow as well.Check your Galaxy Patrol minifig if you have one. You'll see that the armour actually has a pair of "handles" on the back which can accommodate a pair of 1x1 cones!

Enter Perl's English-like syntax:
Most of the time Perl does a really good job of expressing things in very close to the original English statement. Note that I've left out the reading of the file, extraction of the count, and setup of the error log, because I'm giving you the opportunity to learn how to do that part. Note also that you'll need to print the rejects at the bottom of your program (hint: join("\n",@rejected_files)). I'm providing this to encourage you to go ahead and try stuff and see if it works (writing tests for your program will help with this) because Perl really is very close to a natural language in terms of expressing things. Let's pull those comments out and see how it reads without them:
See? Not hard at all! You can do it. Go ahead and put the comments in to help you think it out if necessary. You can always remove or shorten them when you're done. (Use a revision control system; it'll save you incredible amounts of work.)

I am making NetBSD install ISO images that are very large. What I've actually done is complicated, but the following is a reasonable approximation. turn on debugging for kernel and base system build a bunch of packages (with -g) export a git repo (500M worth) dump the git repo and the packages in releasedir/i386 so they get put on the iso image This results in about 2.5G. disks are randomly not bootable, and I can't read some of the files - as in 'cat /filename' gets some sort of error return.). If we get rid of the git repo and get the contents down to 2008 MB, then all seems well. (sorry, I can't share the disk images. But I can perhaps make a test image that's sharable, or a recipe. Basically make two 1G files of zeros in releasedir/386 before building again and I bet that will have trouble.) Therefore I think that nbmakefs, at least running on i386, has some lossage when getting over 2G. Has anyone else seen this, or know how to fix? Alternatively, if there's an easy way to fall back to mkisofs, that would be a workaround - that's installed. (I'll try to run this down and either get it fixed or file a real PR.)

Taking Steps towards CommitmentVisitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Female
I have had an on-again off-again boyfriend for about 2 years. Each time we will get together, everything will be nearly perfect and a couple months later, he freaks out because he says he is scared of commitment. We will get back together a month or two later and this pattern continues.
He has never said he loves me until last night. We are currently broken up and he told me that he is ready to take the plunge. He said he doesn't want to lose me and he will do what it takes to show me that he loves me and wants to be with me.
He has never said anything like this before AT ALL and it scared me a lot. I don't know if I should give it another chance. I really love him. Help!
RomanceClass.com Advice
It can definitely be a very scary idea to commit to one person for the rest of your life. Heck, we only buy cars for 5-7 years at a time, and we can always move out of houses. It's hard to imagine that any one person can make us really happy for years and years and years. So don't blame him too harshly for being nervous about the idea in the past.
If he really is settling down to the idea of commitment, don't push him too hard. Be happy with this, and take slow but steady steps towards it. That way he'll see it's not a scary new world - but simply the happiness you two have now, that will keep going and going.

text: Brigadier General Samuel K. Zook. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE--CIVIC AND MILITARY PREPA- RATIONS FOR HIS FUNERAL, ETC. This gallant and meritorious officer, who is to be buried to-morrow, was born at Port Kennedy, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, on the 28th of March, 1822. For a number of years he was connected with the telegraph in- terest of the country as operator and manager of various lines, at one time being Superintendent of the People's Line from Louisville to New Orleans. Some of his inven- tions and improvements in telegraphing were of merit, and among these was one which his death prevented from being fully perfected, but which, as far as it had been tried, gave evidence of future success-- a caveat for which has been filed in the Patent Office. For some years military silence had been an absorbing study with General Zook. He became attached to the military of this city, as major, and afterwards as lieutenant colonel of the Sixth regiment, Governor's Guards. At the outbreak of the rebellion, the Sixth volunteered for a three months' term. Colonel Zook was laid up with a se- vere attack of Rheumatism at the time, but before the regiment returned he joined it at Annapolis, and per- formed good service. After his term was out, he orga- nized a regiment in part, which was consolidated with another complete organization, forming together the Fifty-seventh, to whose cammand he was assigned by the Governor. This regiment, now a mere fragment, soon became noted for its discipline and efficiency, and its commander for the manner in which he handled it. It on several occasions received the encomi- ums of distinguished regular officers and foreigners of note, among the rest of the Prince de Joinville. During the campaign on the Peninsula it was the covering or rear regiment in Sumner's corps, and, consequently, in the series of battles fought on the retreat, held the post of honor. During that campaign, Colonel Zook commanded the brigade to which he was attached at the battles of Peach Orchard and Savage's Station, and partly at White Oak Swamp. He also commanded at Fredericksburg, where his conduct was especially mentioned in official despatches. He received his commission as brigadier general November 25, 1862, through the impression his conduct and services had made on his corps com- manders and officers in the regular service, as he had no friends at court "to urge his promotion." After this he led his brigade at Chancellorsville, with great distinction, and was again mentioned in a highly favorable manner. He had command at Gainesville of French's old division (First of the Second corps), and was despatched in a second command, of the division, two batteries of artillery and two squadrons of cavalry, from Gainesville, to effect a junction with the main army at Edward's Ferry. At Gettysburg he was in command of his brigade, as the Second corps was advancing to the support of the Third, and while at its head received the wound which cost him his life. A minie ball entered the left side of the stomach, perforating his sword belt, and lodging in the spine. He was taken to a house about half a mile in the rear of the field. On Friday morning he was taken two and a half miles further to the rear, to a farm house ab- andoned by its occupants, whre he died at a quarter before five in the afternoon. He was cool and composed to the last. About fifteen minutes before his death he turned and quietly asked the doctor--after hearing those who had bid him hope--about how long he had to live. A little while previously he had requested his aid, Lieute- nant Favill, to ascertain and let him know how the action was going. The latter officer reported that the bands had been ordered to the front, the flags were flying, and the enemy in retreat. "Then I am perfectly satisfied," said the General, "and ready to die." General Zook was also Military Governor of Falmouth, from November 25 until a short while after the battle of Fredericksburg, and his administration of affairs seemed to please the inhabitants as well as our troops, being strict, impartial and rigidly just. In person General Zook was rather under the middle size, strongly built, and had great powers of physical en- durance. In private life he was known as a man of honor, probity, and unobstrusive worth. In the field he was cool, collected and energetic, and weilded his brigade with the utmost ease and efficiency. As an officer an a man he was a great loss to a service of which he was an efficient member, and in which he bade fair to rise to a higher position. The funeral will take place on Monday afternoon, under the auspices of the Committee on National Affairs. The body is at present laid out in state in the Governor's room in the City Hall. It is contained in a most costly rosewood coffin, secured with diamond shaped silver nails, and otherwise elegantly decorated with flowers, flags, &c. On the lid of the coffin were the sword, sash, belt, and cap of the deceased General, be- sides a beautiful wreath of flowers, encircling a silver plate containing the following inscription: BRIGADIER GENERAL JAMES K. ZOOK, U. S. V. Killed in action, at Gettysburg, July 2, 1863. Aged 41 years.

To recognize the sensation of death and the byproducts of death, e.g., depression, oppression, indifference, coldness, hardness, etc., then turn to our spirit by calling on the Lord Jesus so that we may experience life and peace is such a healthy and reviving practice!
Nevertheless, most of us are somehow too complacent to seek and desire to fully grasp this life. As I was reading a Christian periodical, entitled The Ministry of the Word: The Mending Ministry of John, I came across a powerful, heart-engraving paragraph:
"Life is not some kind of thing, power, or influence, and neither is it a mere blessing or a spiritual condition. Life is a person; life is actually the person of the Triune God."
Oftentimes because we would like to achieve a lofty spiritual state, we simply do whatever we can to attain a thing, called "life and peace." However, God does not give us a thing, He gives us Christ the Son, who is actually the full embodiment of the Trinity Himself, who then through His death and resurrection and through our receiving Him into our inner being, has become our life and everything.
"We must not depersonalize life."

"Over the last two years, I have worked tirelessly to help hundreds of constituents, and I have made great personal sacrifices to continue serving the residents of District 4," she said. "I regret the Twitter postings and I apologize to anyone I may have hurt."

New York Islanders Goaltending: What Does the Future Hold?February 6, 2011
The Islanders goaltending situation has been very shaky, considering the injury-plagued Rick DiPietro (29 years old) cannot stay healthy, and Evgeni Nabokov's (35) spurning of the team after they claimed him off waivers. The Islanders currently have five goaltenders on their roster, also including rookies Kevin Poulin (20), Mikko Koskinen (22) and Nathan Lawson (27).
Currently, the Islanders have Poulin and Koskinen up, due to Lawson and DiPietro being injured, and Nabokov suspended by the team. Poulin has played well this year with a 3-2-1 record, .929 save percentage and a 2.37 goals against average. Originally, the Islanders wanted to keep Poulin, Lawson and Koskinen in the minors to train for the NHL. However, with the DiPietro and Nabokov situations, they had to come to the Islanders. So, what is the future of the Islanders goaltending?
Many fans call Poulin "the future of Islanders goaltending". They might be right. Even though they wanted to season Poulin more in Bridgeport, he's performed well so far at the NHL level, even with a shaky Islander team. He might be the future of the Isles goaltending much sooner then anybody thought.
DiPietro has been truly injury-plagued, and is out for another 4-6 weeks with a facial injury because of his fight with Penguins goaltender Brent Johnson. If this keeps up, and the Islanders want to turn to Poulin earlier than they thought they would, DiPietro should consider possible retirement. He still has a good 10 to 11 years on his 15-year contract, but his being plagued by injury is hurting the Isles.
If the Islanders toll Nabokov's contract, and he decides to play next year, I'm all for a Nabokov and Poulin tandem. DiPietro should at least consider retirement, especially if there's another injury soon after he returns.
If Nabokov comes back to play next season if the Isles toll him, the Islanders will play with him, DiPietro, and Poulin if either gets injured. While DiPietro is healthy, the Islanders will continue to prepare Poulin in the AHL. If not, their goaltending situation next year could look similar to this season's.
In a couple of seasons, if Poulin keeps his work up, he might become the official No. 1 of the Islanders. Nabokov will probably be long gone. If DiPietro retires, either the Islanders will go with a free-agent goaltender or maybe even Koskinen if he performs well. If DiPietro doesn't retire, he might be in there along with Poulin, maybe even Koskinen or Lawson, if he continues to get injured.
Out of all these goaltenders, I believe that Poulin will be one of the definites between the pipes for the Islanders in the future, along with Koskinen. Either way, the Islanders hope to find some future stability in the net.

Latest Transfer News – Arsenal FC, Liverpool FC and Fulham are fighting it out for Swedish defender Alexander Milošević.
Alexander Milošević's stock has been on the rise for quite some time and the 21-year-old is currently being monitored by a host of European clubs. Milošević, who joined AIK back in 2011, has made 35 appearances for the club so far. He has been a regular in Andreas Alm's side this season and his brilliant performances has also earned him a call up for the national side.
Interestingly Milošević played as a striker till he was 17, before being moved to the role of a central midfielder. Eventually he was pushed back to the defence where he flourished. He started his youth career on the international stage playing for the Serbian U17 team, but eventually was drafted in the Swedish U19 side.
Last summer AIK received an offer from Werder Bremen, but they turned down that bid of €6 million from the German club. Milošević is in the final year of his contract and AIK are preparing themselves to receive offer in January. But the Swedish side is unlikely to let him go for anything less than €10 million.
AC Milan and Eintracht Frankfurt are already monitoring his progress, while Liverpool, Arsenal, Celtic, Fiorentina and now Fulham are expected to scout him during Sweden's U21 match against Poland this week.
"Several clubs from England are following him." – Jens Anderson (Football Director of AIK)
Last year his agent said that Milošević will stay at the club for one more year before making his big move. While Arsenal and Liverpool are attractive destinations, Fulham manager Martin Jol is determined to land him ahead of them in January. Milošević is unlikely to get regular first team action at either Arsenal or the Merseyside clubs, but at Fulham he is likely to challenge the likes of Senderos, Amorebieta and Hangeland for a place in the side.

A BOGNOR Regis mother has called for more pressure to be put on highways bosses to ensure children's safety.
Nina Phillips has been told by West Sussex County Council no action is needed to improve on Orchard Way.
As reported this month, Mrs Phillips is concerned for the safety of pupils at nearby South Bersted C of E Primary School and Laburnum Grove Junior School.
Her worries have been increased by the extra traffic along Orchard Way caused by the temporary closure of Rowan Way since mid-January for major roadworks.
Mrs Phillips, of Orchard Way, said: "We need to keep the pressure on the council to take action before an accident happens rather than just fob it off as a temporary one-off situation, which I don't believe it is.
"They should have thought about the safety of children when they organised the road closure."
Ben Whiffin, a county council assistant highway manager, told Mrs Phillips in an email Orchard Way had traffic calming measures and signs to make motorists aware a school is nearby.
"We, therefore, rely on motorists using this road to take note of the warning signs and drive in an appopriate manner," he said. Diverted traffic should use the A29, A259 and North Bersted Street

24 Standards Project
12 Films With Music
The Messiaen Project
The Weekly Composition Project
I would like to share this project in it's entirety, but it will take some work to transfer files and links and things. In the meantime, see the outline of the project and my writings on it (click below), and below is a video introduction of the project:
The Weekly Improvisation Project
In this project I did an extended improvisation every week that had to be at least an hour in length. Again, I was forced to take all files down from the internet. 53 hours of music was too much for them to handle. But I've preserved the outline of the project (click below), and the final installment was done live and videotaped:
The Daily Improvisation Project
My original home recording project began as a simple self-study. I attempted to record a short improvisation every day and post it on my website. I didn't tell many people about it. And I didn't write much about it. It was a tremendous learning experience though, and it launched me into this home study/recording/sharing habit. Eventually my website hosts shut me down for taking up too much room on their server, so I had to take the files down. Below are a couple youtube videos I made during the project. And click below for an archive of the project which includes an interview I did with my brother, Jake.

(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
"You Can't Get Lost in Cape Town" is an intense personal interior monologue of a young Coloured woman who aborts her unborn child, the offspring of a two-year relationship with her white boyfriend.
The story begins with the nameless narrator sitting on the bus into Cape Town, South Africa, clutching her purse and worrying about how much the fare is, if she will need change, what the lining of her handbag is made of, and where she should get off the bus. The entrance of two women who cook and clean for white women, on their way home from their jobs, offers her a welcome distraction. The narrator feels a flutter in her womb and thinks that God will never forgive her. She chooses to anchor her mind in the women's conversation, mostly a monologue by the larger and more aggressive of the two who refers to herself as Tiena. The woman is discussing her white mistress, the stupidity and laxness of the white people, and how she manages to outwit them. She shares some chicken she has taken from the house with her friend, while she explains how her exploitative mistress tried to keep her from having any of it for herself. She also discusses the mistress's daughter, who has been having sex with her fiancé but has been using birth control pills, which she assumes the servant is too ignorant to recognize. This girl will be married in white and seen as a blushing innocent by her family, though Tiena sees through her.
As she listens, the narrator...

[Editor's Note: These are some last words to Ben Wener, the pop critic and music editor for the Orange County Register, who announced he is leaving his post this week. In honor of his lengthy compound sentence structure (lovingly dubbed "sentegraphs" by former music editor Albert Ching, we've done him one better and offered this loving tribute]
It appears that pop critic/music editor Ben Wener's 20-year reign at the OC Register is over by the end of the week, after the veteran scribe has, like so many of his colleagues, announced his departure from the paper and seized the opportunity to flutter down from OC's crumbling mainstream media machine on a golden parachute (a.k.a. contract buyout), marking the end of an era (or maybe two if we're really counting the rings on this longtime journo ,who began writing for the Reg back in '94) and is depriving us all of his…
talents as one of the wordiest wordsmiths to ever work at the paper, a writer who never failed to supply readers with such a plethora of meandering commentary and left-field postulations on the careers of many of the gray-haired classic rockers, pop princesses, Gen-X stalwarts, country crooners, any local bands big enough to play the OC Fair, and whatever music soccer moms are listening to and has done so with one thing in mind: Serving his readers faithfully, honestly, and long (very long) lastingly as a major voice of criticism in pop music in the hopes that mixture of tireless research, wry wit and Havard-caliber $10 words might go a long way in truthfully conveying the thought process, the failures and successes of the many artists he's interviewed during his tenure at the Register, including David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson, Elvis Costello, Jimmy Page & Jack White, Paul Simon (and Art Garfunkel, who apparently was compelled to tell him that Jessica Alba has nice tits), David Byrne, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Ray Davies, Beck, Roger Daltrey, Trent Reznor, Iggy Pop, Paul Weller, Damon Albarn, Chrissie Hynde, Joe Strummer, Yoko Ono, Ozzy Osbourne, Norah Jones, Al Green, Robbie Robertson, Rod Stewart, Sting, Chuck D, Robert Smith, Chris Martin, Andy Partridge, Common, Wayne Coyne, Donald Fagen, Randy Newman, Jeff Lynne, the late great Arthur Lee (batshit crazy at that point, per Wener's farewell note), Paul Stanley, Ben Folds, Butch Vig, Frank Black, Josh Homme, Dave Gahan, Noel Gallagher, Nick Cave, Peter Buck, Jonny Greenwood, Johnny Marr, John Mayer, Bryan Ferry, Joey Ramone, John Lydon, Justin Timberlake when he was still with 'N Sync and so many more that we could go on forever, though that would be beside the point–which is that Wener, in so many bold, often self-referential statements in his reviews and reports, was always at the cutting edge of music coverage for the Register, which was occasionally more than a butter knife, spreading its smooth, malleable, surface level stories across our fair, white-bred county–though he was always ready to stick it to big-time bands like our local darlings of No Doubt (who haven't forgiven him or the Reg to this day for that bad review he gave them that one time–seriously, Gwen, you gotta forgive and forget; at least let the new guy/gal to take Wener's post get a shot at some press passes the next time you guys play here!), U2 (who are probably still licking their wounds after he slammed them in his very first review as a pop critic back in '97), and anyone else he may have skewered in his various appearances as a talking head on KOCE-TV (back when it existed), where he often delivered up-to-the-minute music analysis to public access anchors who pretended to smile, nod and understand his thoughts about Green Day or whoever before delivering a hearty chuckle and commanding him to "go get some sleep, you crazy kid" after all those concert reviews, which he continued to dole out right up until his last days at the paper; though we're certain we'll be seeing more of his wordy sentences again soon, which is why we extend this hearty, longwinded message of good will to Wener who will probably include very few long pauses in his career (much like his writing) as his words continue to leave us enthralled, informed, and always out of breath.

We have a 6 month old OES named Farley. I think he has all or most of his adult teeth, but he bites like crazy. I have the bruises on my arm to prove it. Whenever we try to scold him for it, by smacking his nose or butt and telling him no, he gets SOOO hyper and starts barking.
Another problem is that he will bark NONSTOP when my husband and I sit down to eat a meal.
HOpefully, someone will have some advice!
|Hi. I'm not sure how much I can help, but I have a 3 year old sheepie who is a barker, which they are known to be. Before I left his dad he would always bark at us when he was not getting undivided attention. We used a baby gate and whenever he barked he went into the kitchen. I found that when he barks there is something he needs-- food, out etc. At three he is getting more possesive of me, but I'm the boss and I think he knows that without a doubt. I am not an expert, but with the biting its needs to get nipped in the bud (pardon the pun) asap. It can only get worse if it is not taken care of.
|Hey, welcome to the board! I'm sorry it's causing so much stress. I swear I have to hold my heart sometimes when I dealt with Yuki as a puppy. I had to breath in real deep. hahaha
The smacking him on the nose or butt will NOT help but trigger MORE and MORE aggression (barking, biting).
Have you tried bitter apple spray? If not, every time ..............and I mean seriously being on the ball and EVERY TIME he barks, spray him once in the mouth. If he's one of the dogs who hates the taste, it will curve his behavior.
...along with trying to steer your dog's attn. to doing something else like chewing on a toy or a different more pleasing behavior.
We've learned that you can't just fix a stubborn dog's behavior with a negative. Two seconds later, they may be the type who does it again unless their behavior is steered to do something else.
With TIME....... lots of patient but consistant TIME .........it will go away.
|No hitting is necessary, and as Jo said, will not help. It will make things much worse.
If he bites, firmly say no, then turn your back on him and ignore him. Some also find yelping like a puppy or saying Ouch! helps because he WILL learn that it hurts. He should have learned bite inhibition from his littermates and mother. How old was he when you got him? Perhaps he was taken away too early.
As far as the barking goes, that particular kind of barking sounds like he is trying to dominate you. I would suggest crating him in a separate room while you eat for one thing, not as punishment, just so he is somewhere else. Half the battle is preventing behaviors in the first place.
I would try the "NILF (Nothing In Life Is Free) approach to let him know who's boss. Make him sit for EVERYTHING. Food, water, being petted, to go outside, whatever. Hand feed him for a bit, and also, before you put his food bowl down pretend to eat a bit of it yourself, and then give it to him. He needs to know you are in charge.
Perhaps some obedience classes are in order as well. Is he neutered yet? If not, this will help as well.
Good luck!
Welcome to the forum
|I definitly agree with getting Farley obedience training (even better if you can get someone that is familiar with Old English Sheepdogs). One other thing you may want to do is to get a trainer to come to your house to see Farley in action. You can then get immediate help and guidance on how to stop the biting.
Good Luck
Jennifer, Baxter, Cassiopia and Sharkey
|im sorry to hear youre having problems with farley, he sounds a bit like walter when he was a pup. they just get so wound up and crazy it can drive you nuts!
as for the biting- what everyone else said is right... i used to give walter a smack on the nose or the butt and he would either go nuts or get aggressive. you have to ignore him when he bites. stop playing with him, stop giving him attention, just turn your back after a firm 'no'.
for the barking- if its only while youre eating its probably because he either wants attention, or is mad that hes not part of the group (doesnt sound like begging?). try taking him out to run around right before your meal so hes not full of energy and begging for attention. as for him being mad that hes not part of the group, it seems as if this coupled with the fact that hes biting, means he thinks hes at your level in the pack. try separating him while you eat either by a crate or a gate so that he knows he is lower than you in the pack. id also suggest searching the forum for some of the 'nothing in life is free' threads.... by following this method farley will start listening to you more in general and in turn will be more inclined to not bite and to stop barking when you set firm rules for him!
hope that help! im by no means an expert but walter earned the nickname 'cujo' during his adolescent years, so i can offer you waht worked for us!
|As Johaeyo mentioned, the bitter apple spray works for us. He hates it so much that all we have to do is pull out the bottle and all bad behavior stops immediately.
The NILF approach mentioned by Willowsprite is also very successful for us. In fact, we just started obedience training last week and our trainer encouraged us to hand feed our dogs an entire meal once a week... forever. Require the dog to work for every handful of food. She says it's a great way to remind the dog of pack status. She made an interesting point - people assume that once they establish themselves as the "alpha", that the role is set in concrete. But in dog packs, there is a constant reevaluation of status so you have to constantly remind the dog that you are the pack leader.
|Thanks for the advice!!
We got Farley when he was 8 weeks old.
We are currently looking into agility classes (to help burn off some of that energy), so maybe that will help some. But, do you think a behaviorist will be more beneficial than a trainer? After all, he knows or is learning the basic commands - sit, come, shake. etc.
We did try crate training when we first got Farley, but that was a total disaster. Everytime he went in the crate he would go potty in it and make a mess of himself. We can try putting him in another room while we eat, but he is SO attached to me, I'm afraid this will make the barking worse. He thinks he needs to be rightnexttome all the time.
|I would think that ALLOWING him to always be next to you will not help the problem, but that's just an assumption. Try putting him in another room (or crating for dinner) and giving him something to do. ...like giving him a bone he loves or getting a kong filled with cheese or peanut butter. You could find kongs at any major pet store or online with google. This should be long enough to eat dinner and eventually he knows the drill ................................with lots of time. I always think we should try to get things "our way" when the behavior is distracting as much as possible or "they get their way" ...making the problem worse or stay.

I just finished feeding Lucy when I read this and pictured myself feeding her handfuls or her stew-like wet dog food. Gross!
|Also start by training him for short periods of time. Put him in his crate, close the door and then reopen it. Next time, close it and leave him there for 1 minute. Progressively up the amount of time you are crating him for. Also, do not just run to him if he is barking, whining, growling whatever. That is like he is calling you to him and also that he can command you. Only return or give attention when he is quiet and calm, do it on Your terms.
Definitely no hitting. They view that as an act of aggression and figure, if you're being agressive towards me then I'll be aggressive right back at you.
Shout Ow, Hey or whatever and then ignore him. Physically walk away, seperate yourself from him. They hate to be ignored and if you refuse to pay him attention, negative or positive he'll get the hang of it quick enough.
Don't forget that you're not the only one in your household. Everyone needs to do things the same way EVERY time.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

LOL! I think the assumption was dry food. But, considering the circumstances I give you permission to wear rubber gloves
|Lucy's the last one that needs to be hand fed. I can feed her food right from my mouth she's so gentle. I figured that out when i was lying the floor eating pretzels one night. I called her over and asked for a kiss with the pretzel in my mouth and she just gently grabbed it and ate it. She doesn't even make contact with my face she's so good. It's very cute, although I can see people thinking it's gross until they see her do it!
|i had to hand feed walter for a while.... let me tell you dry food or not it is GROSS. (and this is coming from someone who has no problem letting her dog lick her face) ill spare you the details but i will say that dog slobber + dog food = something you do not want all over your hands

In your sentence, "We can "try"............., but "I'm afraid" this will........." Dogs pick up on everything, including brain waves or so it seems.
Keep the alpha attitude at all times and follow the NILF advice.
One thing you might try is feeding him while you eat, only in another room of the house. If he doesn't eat, skip mealtime that day and try again the next day. I promise he won't starve himself. It will kept him busy and make him feel a part of the pack as well. But, ignore any and all pleas from him (barking) while you are eating. They're just like kids, they figure out how to work you and then use it against you. You have to do the same only in reverse. Trick him into not knowing "what" is going on. In other words, distract him.
Crate training is a great tool. Some dogs will mess, but most won't if the crate isn't too large.
The main purpose of my post is to let you know how important it is for him NOT to think he "needs" to be "right next to you" all the time. I've bred and raised OES for many years. I was a "stay at home" OES mom. I have only one dog now, she'll be 15 in Dec. She'd never been away from me longer than 14 hours, the one time I went to the boat. I had to leave her (health reasons) with my sister a few months ago, whom she knows and loves, but on the 4th day, I returned home to find she had almost grieved herself to death due to my absence. She cried constantly, wouldn't eat and paced practically the entire time I was gone. It took about 3 days for her to recover. All she did was sleep. I know this is a little off topic, but everything we do now, has consequences later.
|one thing I have found that works, but you have to really keep on with this, its not an overnight solution - when he bites, never ever hit or shout, but clap your hands lound and say no in a firm voice, then get a toy and reward him for stopping - think they call it noise averstion therapy. one message I read on here made me laugh, saying she had the bruises to prove it - you should see my arms and ankles, but with lots of patience and time, I'm sure he'll grow out of it
|when Darla was a small pup, she would nip and those little puppy razor teeth hurt like the dickens. Problem was she would nip the noses of small children when they went to pet her....couldn't have that. So we started to firmly say "NO BITE" when she made her move and shake our finger at her. Dogs definitely know when you are not pleased with them if you use that scolding tone of voice. And yes consistentcy is the best thing. EVERYONE must do this or he won't get it. Good luck!
|May sound silly, but when I had a pup that was biting too hard for too long, when it bit me, I'd yell OUCH, and then place its paw in its mouth and apply a little pressure to show it what it felt like. Not saying to let em' have it like they do you, just a slight pressure. Seemed to work for me most of the time. But, instead of the NO BITE, I'd say "EASY!" Kind of stretching out the sound of the word like ezzzzzzzzzzzy. lol Good luck.
|Another way to get her to stop biting and i dont know if you will agree. But when bobby used to bite we would get a roll of newspaper and hit it against our hand and the noise would be enough to let him know it wasnt a good thing to be doing and say very firmly NO . I also dont believe in hitting or kicking as a punishment it just brings on more aggression .
|I just thought of another way to stop him . Put baby lotion where ever he normally would bite Hands ect . He will then associate the horrible taste in his mouth with biting . He should stop after that. Good luck Let me know how you get on.
|I too am having trouble with Lucy biting me. I've tried the yelping and ignoring, doesn't work here. She grabs at my hands and lunges and bounces off of me. She broke the skin tonight, when I took her out and I had to tackle her to the ground and hold her down for awhile. She just turned 6 months. And she is sooooo gentle taking her dog treats and she lets me remove anything from her mouth. I just had her spayed last week and the instructions read "No rough play" for a week. Yeah right!
|Ignoring the behaviour doesnt really work in a lot of cases . they just do it more to get a reaction from you. Try clapping you hands loud or get rolled up newspaper and hit that off your hand loudly and firmly say No. Another way is to put babylotion on where ever the dog nips he will soon learn to associate the horrible taste with the bad behaviour and it will hopefully stop. Good luck.
|I had a dog trainer give me a very easy tip on stopping a puppy from biting. When they bite tell them no and grap the top of their nose and roll their lips under their K-9's with your thumb and index finger. When the dog bites down on your fingers they also bite their lips. Believe me this is a simple trick that works very well. I only had to do this 2 or 3 times before my OES learned not to bite. Once and a while she will try to nip again but the lip roll stops it right away.
Also, everyone in the house must do this or they will take advantage of the ones that don't.
When they bite tell them no and grap the top of their nose and roll their lips under their K-9's with your thumb and index finger.
This can also back-fire and make the dog head-shy or aversive to people touching his mouth. Hard to examine teeth in that case, or remove burrs, or groom, and also may cause the dog to feel he has to defend himself. Any time you are holding a dog or restaining him in a negative way it can make him feel like he has to protect himself.
|hi we also have a 6 month old puppy who used to bite a lot. we recently got a training video called the perfect dog. in this video it shows you how to stop this. it seems mean but really its not and it works! she dosent bite nearly as much and shes still getting better. using both hands, take your left hand and hold the back of your dogs head. with your right hand open and palm down place your hand in the dogs mouth with the part between your thumb and index finger as far back in its mouth as possible. after doing this push back with your right hand further into its mouth. dont push hard enough that it may start to actually hurt the dog but your showing the dog that it shouldnt like your hand being in its mouth. hold it there for about 10 sec and afterwards make sure that you pet the dogs head like normal so its also showing that it dosent have to be scared of your hands either. our dog ava didnt like it at all but she dosent bite as much anymore either and it dosent hurt her. but at the same time you have to realize that your dogs a puppy and puppies chew a lot. also get the dog some chew toys. something that it cant destroy in one play time. weve also found out that letting her have a lot of exercise helps with her excessive chewing. pups have a lot of energy and without exercise they chew and bite on things to use this energy up. hope this helps

Fresh fuel has been poured on the smouldering open access/academic publishing debate by Samuel Gershman, a postdoctoral fellow at MIT in Josh Tenenbaum's Computational Cognitive Science Group, in an online article for the Boston Globe. Entitling his piece "The Exploitative Economics of Academic Publishing," he protests that: "taxpayers in the United States spend $139 billion a year on scientific research, yet much of this research is inaccessible not only to the public, but also to other scientists. This is the consequence of an exploitative scientific journal system that rewards academic publishers while punishing taxpayers, scientists, and universities."
As you would expect from such a tone, Gershman comes down very much on the open access side of the debate. Not least as he's been a victim of the notorious Elsevier takedown notices himself.
"Like many scientists, I provide access to my research papers on my website," he states. "When I published these papers in Elsevier journals, I was required to hand over the copyrights. Therefore, I had no choice but to remove the papers."
Gershman then proceeds to demolish the value-add arguments used by closed-access publishers to justify their business models. Reviews? "Typically coordinated by a combination of volunteer editors (academics) and an automated email system." Additional text and references? "Elsevier does not add text and references to research papers – academics do." Formatting? "Hardly necessary, since new technologies allow authors to typeset their own work."
However, Gershman also points out some of the flaws in certain of the new breed of open access publishers. "In the case of many open-access journals, the costs of publication are now borne by an article's authors rather than its readers. To publish in these journals costs academics (and ultimately the taxpayers who fund their research) thousands of dollars per article." And he dismisses the running costs argument for this kind of open access by citing one journal whose total running costs, since its establishment in 2000, amounted to: "less than $7,000, or $6.50 per article published."
So open access is not an automatic guarantee of probity and fairness. But Gershman's basic argument remains highly critical of the closed-access publishers – and hard for them to refute. "Scientists are providing free labor that benefits extremely profitable corporations," he states. "Taxpayers are subsidizing these corporations, effectively shrinking the amount of funding available for research. Universities cannot afford growing subscription fees." In the circumstances, Gershman's more radical suggested remedies, such as a collective boycott by universities of closed-access journal subscriptions, seem pretty justified.

Halak and suddenly potent power play carry Blues to 4-1 win over Blue Jackets

Halak and suddenly potent power play carry Blues to 4-1 win over Blue Jackets
ST. LOUIS - A perfect power play and a shutdown penalty kill led to a victory for the injury-depleted St. Louis Blues.
Jaroslav Halak made 27 saves, the Blues broke out of a deep power-play slump with a season-high three man-advantage goals, and St. Louis turned aside all eight short-handed situations in a 4-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night.
The Blues, who entered the game in an 0-for-22 drought, dating to Nov. 20, got man-advantage goals from Alex Steen, Jay McClement and Vladimir Sobotka.
"Quick movement. I thought we moved around well, supported each other, but the puck moved quick, too," Steen said. "We weren't hesitating, we weren't waiting to set anything up. It was just the next play was there. We gave it, we shot, rebound, got it back to the point, new shot. We kept attacking.
"In order for us to be good, that's the mindset we have to have."
David Backes had a goal and two assists, and Erik Johnson had two assists as the Blues won their second straight after a five-game skid.
Jan Hejda had the lone goal for the Blue Jackets, who got 20 saves from Mathieu Garon. He fell to 10-4-1 against the Blues. Columbus had snapped a five-game losing streak on Monday.
"You can't wait against a team like that that's hungry in their building," Blue Jackets coach Scott Arniel said. "You can't wait until the third period. I didn't know if we were hesitant, nervous or whatever that word is, but we didn't make plays.
"All of a sudden, we were just whacking pucks around. We lost a couple of pucks right up the middle of the ice in our end of the rink."
Steen scored his third goal in two games 1:14 in after Carlo Colaiacovo kept an errant puck in the zone. McClement netted his first goal since Oct. 30 when he redirected Johnson's centring feed past Garon with 6:41 left in the first.
"It's been a while since I had a power-play goal, but it felt good to finally contribute," said McClement, who went 17 games without scoring. "(Johnson) made a great play. I was just trying to be strong on my stick, and got my stick on it."
The Blues preserved the lead by killing three 5-on-3 power plays that totalled two minutes, 28 seconds in the first two periods.
St. Louis took a 3-0 lead and made it 3-for-3 on its power play when Sobotka redirected in Johnson's shot from the left point with 44 seconds to play in the second period.
"The power play had some extended time in the zone," Blues coach Davis Payne said. "I thought we moved more freely without hindrance in our thought process. It was work put in over the last couple of days that these guys felt that it would break through if we kept at it."
Hejda snapped Halak's shutout streak 6:56 into the third period, knocking a puck in from the high slot off a broken play.
The Blue Jackets, who outshot the Blues 12-5 in the third period, continued to push, but to no avail.
"I thought we played great 5-on-5," Blue Jackets captain Rick Nash said. "I thought we were all over them. Special teams was the difference, and not burying our chances."
Halak, who was pulled after allowing four goals against Columbus in an 8-1 loss on Oct. 10, stopped Derick Brassard's breakaway attempt with 4:20 to play.
"I think our guys did a great job, especially on the (penalty) kill," Halak said. "We gave up eight penalty kills and we killed them all, so it was a huge effort from our guys.
"We had two 5-on-3s, and the guys who were out there, they did an amazing job. They were skating and blocking the shots. I don't think they got many shots on the 5-on-3s."
Notes: The last time the Blues scored three power-play goals was Dec. 21, 2009, a 7-2 victory at Edmonton. St. Louis was 4-for-5 in that game. ... Nash played in his 543rd career game with the Blue Jackets, tying the team record set by David Vyborny. ... The Blues have won 22 of 30 meetings between the teams in St. Louis (22-6-2). ... Blues C Andy McDonald (concussion) joined RW T.J. Oshie (broken ankle), LW David Perron (concussion) and D Roman Polak (wrist) on the injured list. Oshie was injured in the teams' other meeting this season. ... Blue Jackets LW Kristian Huselius (lower body) hasn't played since Oct. 23 and is out indefinitely.

Environmental Permits Applications
Monitoring of fuels in stormwater
The Situation
A major pipeline company has large storage tank farms throughout the Western States. The pipeline company transports, stores, blends additives, and distributes gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel to retail service stations and airports. Due to the quantity and movement of fuel at these facilities, there is always the potential for fuel spills. These facilities prevent out of compliance discharge by capturing all stormwater in storm drains, which is then sent to treatment systems prior to discharge. At some sites, groundwater from ongoing remediation is mixed with stormwater at the treatment system prior to local discharge.

Here's a forecast that gets to the point.
Expect rain Thursday.
Get set for the next round of storms in Minnesota. This batch could bring good ole' fashioned gully washers.
An approaching warm front and low pressure center will bring the next wave of showers and thunderstorms overnight and into Thursday. A potentially strong low level jet stream around 5k feet will feed moisture into the region overnight. Storms in the Dakotas will ride east into southern Minnesota overnight.
It looks like the best bet for arrival in the metro will be toward sunrise and rain chances will continue into Thursday morning before the first wave slides east as the day wears on.
The SPC has placed southern Minnesota under a slight risk for severe storms.
There could be high winds and hail but it appears the biggest threat may be slow moving storms that can dump heavy rains in excess of 1″ to 2″+ capable of flash flooding.
Keep the NOAA Weather Radio and MPR handy as the day wears on Thursday.

Queen Adelaide feels a genteel world away from the bustling Uxbridge Road outside. Its smart, chandelier-lit dining room is separated from a buzzing pub by a large central bar, giving the dark wood-clad space a lively feel, even on quiet, midweek evenings. Harveys Sussex Best, plus two or three regularly changing guests, keep the ale drinkers merry.
Most dishes on the daily-changing menu deviate little from the standard gastropub repertoire, though there are a few interesting surprises amid the beer-battered cod, Angus beef burger, weekend brunches and sticky toffee pud. Starters in particular pack a refined punch, with sautéed chicken livers made sweet by tart red grapes and sherry vinegar, and potted salt beef counterbalanced by watercress, apple and capers.
The mains were altogether less impressive. A dish promising three types of lamb (spiced skewer, merguez and kofta) was generously sized, and the meat had been perfectly cooked, but a mound of shamefully bland couscous let the side down. Grilled sea bass was similarly marred by some flavourless truffle potatoes.
Nevertheless, the Adelaide's friendly, proficient service and warm atmosphere make it a pleasant place to linger over a meal.

Best pub in Shepherd's Bush, if not the world!
Sunday Roast place, forever
Fab food and the best staff. Couldn't ask for more!
Had a great party with these guys over Christmas, everyone was really looked after, they were organized and the food was great! so good we've decided to spend this evening with them also.
overpriced mediocre food. terrible service. booked a dinner table for 20 and was assured we could be accomodated over the phone. arrived to a small cramped table that was in the bar area. asked the staff at the bar and the restaurant area for a menu, and was told by both to order from the other. Overall rude and unhelpful service. we finally managed to order food at the bar 20mins after waiting for a waiter to take our order it came at sporadic times sometimes with mains and startes together?? A complete waste of time and money. Go to KFC accross the road.

I LOVE wearing hats. I wish I had more hats to wear and I wish more people wore them so I'm not the only one in a hat when I do wear them.
Most of mine are straw though, not those fancy concoctions. I don't think I'd like wearing one of those.
Since I don't get to dress up much, I do like to dress up on the few occasions it's called for.
I hate wearing stockings. The person who invented those had to be a man, because no woman would invent such a torture device for themselves.

I gave up hosiery several years ago. No, for me it's knee hi's or knee socks,... and I've learned not to care if the tops of the socks show. At my crusty age (no, I'm not really that old), I don't care. The only exception will be my son's wedding this spring and my other sons weddings, whenever they will be.
Hats - Ugh! I hate them. I don't care how cold it is, I refuse to wear a hat. They annoy me to death. When my husband and I got married, I wore a hat. And that was only because my MIL made it. I have to say, my dress just cried out for a hat, and it looked great with the hat. But I still hated wearing it. I haven't worn it since. It's not hanging as a decoration on my wall - along with the artificial flowers that I carried. It makes a much nicer wall decoration than a hat.
I don't do knit hats well. I tend to look like a bag lady in those. I like straw hats and fedora style hats.
I hate knee highs too. I had not worn stockings in years until last winter when I was cold enough to buy some tights for extra insulation. They still weren't all that comfy.
I normally have a fairly nice tan, so could get by with no stockings even at weddings when I had to dress up.
