A couple of weeks ago, our phone rang right after dinner. On the other end was a voice belonging to a 7-year-old boy we know.
"I was wondering if you could come to my baseball game this Friday?" he asked.
He'd recently started practicing with our town's Little League baseball team, the Middlebury Meteors. That Friday they'd be playing their first game, against the Cornwall Cougars.
When a 7-year-old asks you to attend his first baseball game, you go to the game.
And this was a smart boy, too; he knew that by inviting our family, he'd be stacking the bleachers with four pint-sized cheerleaders. Four for the price of one phone call -- not a bad deal.
My daughters were enthusiastic. It's not hard to get them excited about things, especially if I promise that they'll get to sit in their portable folding chairs (one of the best Christmas gifts we've ever received -- seriously). As it turned out, game day was also a no-school day, so they spent "nap time" up in their room, making signs that read: "Go! MiTull Berrye Meteers!"and the like. I packed the signs, some pom-poms we had left over from a Middlebury College hockey game, snacks, and the aforementioned folding chairs into our van. Thus equipped, my cheering squad set off for Cornwall and the baseball field behind Bingham Elementary School.
It was a grey, blustery afternoon, and the stands weren't exactly packed -- just a handful of players' family members. In fact, as the visiting team, we didn't have stands at all, so we set up our folding chairs (best Christmas gift ever!) on a narrow strip of grass behind the team's bench. This allowed my daughters to heckle the players they knew throughout the game, which was an added bonus.
And how was the game itself? Well, I'm not entirely sure; I was mostly busy fetching snacks, resolving disputes over who got to hold the pom-poms, and keeping an eye on the baby. But what I saw was impressive. After just a handful of practices, players on both teams could hit the ball (it looked like they were given five chances to hit it from the pitch, after which they could hit it off of a tee), run the bases, and catch the ball. In other words, it resembled a baseball game.
What interested me almost as much as the game was my daughters' enthusiasm for cheering. This was their first baseball game, so even with my occasional explanations they had very little idea of what was actually happening on the field. What they did understand was that we were there to support friends. And since making noise is a talent that all my daughters share, they supported their friends very loudly -- by name, whenever possible.
I think the teams played four or five innings, and there was no final score, so I can't tell you who won. Nobody seemed to care; winning wasn't the point.
Back at home, reflecting upon the game, it occurred to me that cheering is an often overlooked but deeply important life skill. I'd even argue that the ability to cheer -- to show up for other people and root for them, without agenda or jealousy -- is probably tied to happier lives and healthier relationships.
Yet it's a skill I frequently forget to nurture in my own children. I tend to focus instead on which activities to enroll them in, the better to identify and develop their individual talents. That's certainly an important role we parents can take in our children's lives, but if we do so at the expense of teaching them to step out of the spotlight and cheer for others, then we're creating a society of self-centered performers. A culture in which all the world's the stage and nobody's in the audience sounds pretty lonely to me.
This is something that the Middlebury Meteors' coach, JP Rees, already understands; at the end of the game, he gathered his players together and led them in a cheer for the Cornwall Cougars.
All of which is to say: If you know somebody who's going to be performing or playing or reading or exhibiting -- especially if it's a 7-year-old in Little League -- show up and cheer.

PORTSMOUTH -- People of all ages got to try their hand at demolishing a pumpkin during the 5th annual Pumpkin Smash at the Portsmouth Farmers Market on Saturday.
From kids to grandparents the event allows people the chance to obliterate pumpkins for the fun of it.
Sarah Polizzo had her 4-year-old son Luke take his turn whacking at the pumpkins. Luke initially began hitting it with a mallet, moved onto a baseball bat, and eventually stomped on the scattered remains.
"It's just something they can't do every day," Polizzo said. "It's a time to get loose and have a good time. Everybody loves it."
The chance to destroy the fall crop was a one-time $5 payment. Proceeds from the event will go to the Portsmouth Halloween Parade.
Pumpkins were lined up in front of City Hall along with a varied selection of weapons to choose from. These included two wooden and one aluminum baseball bat, a sledgehammer, mallets in various sizes and a shovel.
"People seem to take to those mallets," Halloween Parade member Trevor Bartlett said. "When the shovel comes out seeds will fly out for miles."
The pumpkins used in the smashing were all rotted and wouldn't have been sold. Bartlett said this will give them a second life and afterwards whatever is left of the pumpkins will be given to local farms.
According to Bartlett the smallest pumpkins are actually the hardest to smash.
"I tried picking the dirtiest pumpkin thinking it would be the most rotten," Polizzo said. "That was a mistake."
The Pumpkin Smash has become a traditional event for many people especially kids.
"There are kids that come back every year," Halloween Parade member Sarah Lechance said. "I have parents say their kids have been waiting for a year."
Julia Luff, a Portsmouth High School student, liked how it brought the community together through a fun activity. Luff said she will be working in the Halloween Parade.
"It gets all anger out on the pumpkin," Luff said. "It was really fun."
Bartlett believed the concept can appeal to anyone who wants to get their frustration or strength out on a pumpkin.
"It's simple and effective," Bartlett said. "People like smashing things ... we open the door for them and they run right through it."
Pumpkin event is real smash

A common but pretty little dabbling duck, Teal gather in large numbers in winter on gravel pits, reservoirs and floodplain meadows. Many of these birds are migrants from the cold climes of the Baltic and Siberia. In summer, Teal breed in small numbers in Britain, mostly in the north.
How to identify
Our smallest duck, male Teal are grey with a speckled breast, a yellow and black tail and a chestnut-coloured head with a bright green eye patch. Females are mottled brown but both sexes show a bright green wing patch in flight.
Where to find it
Nests in small numbers around the country, particularly in the uplands, but much more common in winter when it can be found on most wetlands.
When to find it
- January
- February
- March
- April
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
- October
- November
- December
How can people help
The large numbers of visiting Teal that frequent the UK make this species an Amber List bird. To ensure that we keep the populations of these colourful ducks, and others like them, healthy, it is important that wetland habitats are managed properly. The Wildlife Trusts are working with other organisations and individuals to create a 'Living Landscape': a network of habitats stretching across town and country, allowing wildlife to move about freely and people to enjoy the benefits of nature. Support this greener vision for the future by joining your local Wildlife Trust.

Apple's iPhone 2.2 Firmware Update Bashes Bugs
There are three major categories of vulnerabilities in this update. There are a few malicious content fixes, where viewing such content can cause "unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution." CoreGraphics, ImageIO and, interestingly, the Excel file viewer, are all in this category.
There are three fixes to Safari. One is a malicious content bug, like the ones above. One allows malicious iframes to spoof the user interface: "Safari allows an iframe element to display content outside its boundaries" which is a bank scamming site's dream feature. The update disallows this. The final one could allow a malicious program launched through Safari to initiate a call without the user's permission, and even to stop them from canceling it for a period of time. None of these three appear in last week's update to Safari on Windows and the Mac.
Three vulnerabilities are fixed in the Password Lock feature, a feature which has had at least two other bug fixes for not-dissimilar problems in the past (here and here). One new bug could allow user of a locked phone to call anyone with the emergency call feature. A second one could disable the Passcode Lock during a device restore and a third one means that SMS messages sent to a locked phone display in their entirety. All these are addressed in the update.
Two remaining bugs could lower the level of encryption in the PPTP VPN app or reveal form field data.

Ryan Ringold,
President of UltimateSpeeches.com
--Brian Jeffries, NC
Dear Best Man,
you want to skyrocket your confidence, save valuable time,
and look like a pro during your best man wedding speech,
then this is the most important letter you'll ever read.
Here's why...
My 'Best Man
Speech Package' gives you everything that you need to deliver killer
best man speeches at any wedding.
It includes:
is the key to public speaking...
remember the first best man speech that I ever had to deliver. I
was terrified! I spent 3 days at the library trying to
figure out what the hell I was expected to say!
challenge is that as men, we don't always know what to say during a
best man speech. Nor are we entirely comfortable with the proper
what do we do?
Unfortunately, many times we just have a few
cocktails and get up there and
'wing it'. This
is exactly what
you should NOT do!
You're expected
to be prepared and ready to deliver a thought provoking, humorous, and
meaningful best man speech.
is EXACTLY why I've put together this best man speech
package. It's so that you, my friend, can put this worry behind
you. You can have speeches and toasts that are proven winners
that will have people praising you
long after you've given your speech.
On the
Internet, it's
tough to know who to believe. There are so many people making
ridiculous claims, it's insane. It's like day after day, you get hit
with hype pitch after hype pitch.
Here are 4
good reasons to believe what I say:
One: My company and I are
reputable, credible, and have helped
people just like you in over 5
different countries. I've
been doing business online since March, 12 2002. I've helped
hundreds of people with their wedding speeches. My company, UltimateSpeeches.com was
on the front page of the 'The
Wall Street Journal' June 19, 2002.
I've been a public speaker for over 4 years. I've spoken at
hundreds of events and to thousands of people. I'm also a
writer...and I'm not bad at what I
do. After all, I better be if I speak on stage and write
speeches. At one event I spoke
in front of 8,000 people.
how many of these other dudes selling wedding speeches have ever
been on stage...not to mention in front of those kinds of crowds?
When I used to write custom speeches from scratch, my fees were
$125 for a
1 to 3 minute speech (sorry, I don't offer that service
Four: I
don't hide behind my web site or any fake email
addresses. My direct voicemail number is 248-581-0131. It's
been the same number for about 9 years and I
don't plan on it changing. I answer the phone myself when I'm
around and my full address is at the bottom of this
Just listen to what these
customers have said:
"This saved the day for me."
"I did not want a "CANNED" speech
so the idea of getting [multiple] speeches and using parts of
them with my own knowledge of the Groom simply saved the day for me.
Once it came down to the performance I was still a little nervous in
front of 200 people, but I was well prepared and I owe it all to this
package. Thanks ever so much."
--Byron Ware, Corona, CA
"This product is a must
"This was a great web site and a
terrific product. This was my first time being a best man and I was
nervous that my speech would be terrible. By using this product I was
able to give myself some great ideas and use the fantastic quotes
included. This product is a must have for people who really want to
impress the people at the reception."
--Adam, Iowa
"The speeches are really easy to
change to make them more personal. My speech turned out just right."
--Mike Moore, Kansas, USA
"... proven winners."
"I think that all best men should
have a copy of these speeches as they are proven winners. No stress
involved and it will relieve any stress or fear you may have as a best
man. "
--James Humphrey, Texas
But Ryan, What If I Want To Add Some
Words Or Change It Around?
problem! If you're confident in public speaking and writing,
then use these speeches as a guideline or idea generator.
They will work for you as well. You can personalize them
where you see fit.
You can also
use these speeches practically word-for-word. Just change the
names to your bride and groom.

Robert Owen - Conservation & Environment in Thailand
I was the first of the two-week specials to arrive in Thailand. I landed to an onslaught of rain, the airport was very efficient and within no time I had my bags and had recognised Chane's smiling face. The next staff member I met was Mon in his green Saab. After a short drive through the Thai countryside to my home away from home in Chong Pli, I met my instructors. They were very kind and I soon settled in.
After catching up on some sleep, I made my way to the main house and met all of the regular volunteers. They were all very welcoming and took me to nearby Ao Nang. In Ao Nang there are many things to do, such as rock climbing to mini golf. Once I had returned from Ao Nang I was shown around what was to be the main house and had a delicious dinner made by the resident cook.
Over the next few days there was a flood of two-week specials and by Sunday we had a full group of eighteen. We all bonded quickly, despite the fact that we were all from different countries and of different ages.
Monday was the induction day and the beautiful Chane and Marie escorted us around nearby Krabi, where we visited the local mangrove walkway and were introduced to the mangrove ecosystem. We were then taken for a traditional Thai lunch in Ao Nang. We then returned home to a huge dinner that satisfied us completely. The boy's then made their way to Chong Pli house for some Jenga and male bonding.
The next day we were lucky enough to have Mr Suwat as our instructor. We had a small talk on the day's activities and then were flung into a grueling four hour video which could send just about anyone to sleep. The only thing that got the group through this video was the thought of the pool session straight afterwards. We were driven to a nearby swimming pool in a hotel resort. Where were had the pool to ourselves and Mr Suwat was able to teach us the basics of scuba diving. Everyone picked it up really fast and soon we were all zooming around the bottom of the pool.
On Wednesday we finally got to dive in the open water. We were all pretty nervous but our instructor Sam was very reassuring and continued to give us sound advice. The sea was rough and the rain was lashing our neoprene-covered bodies as we prepared for our first descent. Underwater everything was calm and everyone was engrossed in the wealth of wildlife. We all picked up the basic skills pretty quickly and were eager for our next dive. We dived for the next three days at different dive sites all over the bay. By the end we were all confident in ourselves and I'm pretty sure everyone had fallen in love with diving. Who can blame us when you get to see amazing marine wildlife in crystal blue water?
Later in the week we had a mass beach clean-up, involving all the conservation volunteers and 630 kilos of trash (as the Americans called it). We spent the day picking up all of the rubbish off the beach and sorting it for recycling. By the end of the day we had all decided to reward ourselves with a night out on the town. Which turned out to be a great night.
The following day we had our exams, which everybody passed with flying colours. Our great instructors Sam and Mon can be thanked for all of our passes. We were then rewarded with an elephant trek which was interesting to say the least. We were able to have a guided tour of the jungle by those who know it best.
After a celebratory night out in the town we were shipped of to the mangroves to explore and be educated. There were mixed feelings about the mangroves but personally I enjoyed the waist deep mud and the smell of sulphur crawling up my nostrils. Our guide Dominic had an amazing ability to make anything seem interesting, EVEN MUD! After having a good explore through the thick mud and entangled roots it was down to work. We filled numerous bin bags with rubbish in the mid day heat and by the end we were all ready for the final two days of diving.
We traveled to nearby Ko Phi Phi, where we saw numerous creatures from turtles to sharks. The two days at Phi Phi were possibly the best dive days we'd had but there was always the thought of them being our final dives lingering at the back of out minds and we made the most of every dive.
We rounded off an amazing two weeks with a trip to the local fisheries department where we got to feed super sized fish and clean Nemo's tank. At the fisheries we learnt about what the local people are doing to protect the whole ecosystem from the mangroves to the reefs. All in all, the trip was a life experience that I will never forget. I would recommend it to anyone who has an open mind or just wants the adventure of a lifetime and to meet lifelong friends. Though I have one piece of advice for you, don't scratch your bites.

Favorites and duds from today's commenting.
Tonight it's the small rodeo bull, apparently. Kinja hates Roundups.
Favorites, in no particular order:
This is adorable, from Same Sad Echo in the Slopestyle Matryoshka Doll post. The tone is great, and the punchline is worth it. Good stuff.
Here's a funny little dialogue from Bevraj of Choice in the Food in the Ass post. It's great to see Bevraj of Choice back in the comments. This guy is great.
I also chuckled at this dialogue from Madoffs Mets in the same post. It's just a great use of the content available. Nice job.
This is simple and effective, from DougExeter in the Olympics Live post. It's an easy joke, but it works.
This is also an easy joke, in the same post, from girlwonder. Just a quick spin of the word live and you've got a sharp and successful joke. Good work.
I enjoyed this bunch of silliness from BONG HITS 4 TEBOW in the Stray Dog post. It doesn't really have that climax where the joke comes together for its high point, but the angle is solid and it works by accumulation. Keep it up, my man.
Okay, so, this is a fat joke, from Raysism in the World Cup Discount post. But it's such a good fat joke. The straight voice complements the blunt delivery of the punchline so well. I couldn't help but laugh at this.
This line from Barry Petchesky in the NFL Corporate Logos post is just great. Writers don't normally make jokes, and I don't normally include their stuff in Roundups, but this is awesome. It's smart and funny and delivered perfectly.
This is a killer line from Metta Whirled Peas in the Olympics Hater's Guide. That's wonderful. Dark as hell, but wonderful. It's just so well made. You almost don't notice the once-in-a-lifetime bit - it's something that we hear in Olympics coverage so often, referring to competitors and medalists - and then the statistic brings the meaning of that phrase crashing home. This deserved more attention. It's the Comment of the Day.
Here's a solid recontextualization from TheInfantTyrone in the Dunk Contest Field post. Good pull, good delivery. Keep it up.
Total Fucking Duds
Buh, this is just so boring and ham-fisted, from geographiend13 in the Bob Costas post. I wouldn't want to know the kind of person who is still thrilled by this kind of humor past the age of 14. The entire joke here is that the word bukakke exists.
Keep an eye on this DL Thurston guy - he stinks. I mean he's really bad.
Hey, that's it. Sleep tight.

It was definitely easy to make and fit almost perfectly into a weeknight schedule as I was able to squeeze in a short workout during the hands-off cooking time. I hesitate, though, to call it a soup. I didn't care for it thin like a soup; it wasn't creamy enough. I kept it thick instead, though it's not exactly stew-like either since it's all pureed. It reminded me of Cream of Wheat or Malt-to-Meal in consistency.
Basically, it's green mush. But it's tasty green mush!
Sam I Am. Paging Mr. Sam I Am. Your green mush is ready.
Creamy Broccoli Soup ?
Creamy Broccoli Soup ?
Creamy Broccoli ??Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
- ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 bunch broccoli, florets roughly chopped, stems peeled and chopped (about 7 cups)
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and cut into ½" pieces
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ black pepper
- 2 oz grated sharp cheddar cheese and croutons for topping each serving
- Heat oil in a large pot (I used my stock pot, you'll see why in a minute) over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 6 minutes.
- Add the broth, broccoli, potato, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ black pepper to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the vegetables in the pot until smooth, adjusting the consistency with water as needed (this is why I used the stock pot, alternately, you could use a blender, working in small batches).
Scoob was a little dubious during the grocery shopping when I told him what I was planning to make, but he's a good man and eats just about anything I put in front of him. Even my disasters. But he did say this smelled good once it got going in the pot and was looking forward to dinner.
The original recipe called for 2 cups of water during the second step, but I'm pretty sure I didn't use it. Although, now I can't quite recall. I do remember thinking that there didn't seem to be enough liquid, but it turned out fine.
The recipe also called for sharp white cheddar cheese and bagel chips for topping. I remembered the part about sharp, but not the part about white, while I was at the grocery store, hence to orange-yellow cheese you see in the photo. I toasted up a couple slices from a baguette loaf instead of the bagel chips.
And even though the recipe says the red pepper flakes are optional, I think it would have been way too bland without them.

So much for me posting up a storm here in May! I can't believe tomorrow is June 1st. It's been a busy couple of months and I've hardly watched any movies at all. Here's hoping the summer provides me with some quieter moments, so I'll have more time for watching and writing. My backlog of unwatched films recorded off TCM is getting ridiculous!
Anyway, several people, including Clara at Via Margutta 51, have done the 15 Movie Questions meme recently, and it looked like fun. If you'd like to do it yourself, consider yourself tagged.
1. Movie you love with a passion.
There are a lot of these! Maybe An Affair to Remember. I've seen it so many times and still think it's the most romantic movie ever.
2. Movie you vow to never watch.
Never is a very long time, so who knows? There was a time when I hated Westerns, after all, but now there are quite a few I love. But I'm definitely averse to horror movies, especially modern day gory ones, so probably those.
3. Movie that literally left you speechless.
Leave Her to Heaven – the rowboat scene. (Starts at about 2:20 below.) I was so stunned and horrified the first time I saw it, and it still leaves me speechless every time.
4. Movie you always recommend.
The More the Merrier. To me it's a perfect romantic comedy, and yet a lot of people outside of the classic movie fandom have never heard of it – or of Jean Arthur, Joel McCrea and Charles Coburn.
5. Actor/actress you always watch, no matter how crappy the movie.
Cary Grant. I'll watch anything he's in at least once! Obviously I'm not the only one who feels this way, given the recent releases of many of his early '30s movies on DVD.
6. Actor/actress you don't get the appeal for.
John Wayne.
7. Actor/actress, living or dead, you'd love to meet.
Cary Grant. I'm reading his daughter's book now (review to come!), and it's made me adore him even more than I already did. I'd love to have known him. I'd also love to have met Audrey Hepburn, the sweetest lady ever, and Montgomery Clift, because he was so sad and I think he could've used a hug. (And some anti-depressants, bless him.)
8. Sexiest actor/actress you've seen. (Picture required!)
Gary Cooper, no question. In his prime he was absolutely the sexiest, most beautiful man ever in the movies. Tall and lanky, with masculine strength and that sweet, shy demeanor, he could wear bespoke European suits or rugged American cowboy gear with equal elegance. That pretty face and those bedroom eyes, swoon!
He was basically catnip for women, both on and off screen, and continues to be dreamy even to girls born many years after died. I think I'd better add him to question #7, above! I'd love to have met Coop, that's for sure. Preferably alone on a deserted tropical island.
9. Dream cast.
Cary Grant and Barbara Stanwyck in a romantic comedy. Why did that never happen?
10. Favorite actor pairing.
Rock Hudson and Doris Day. They were so much fun together.
11. Favorite movie setting.
Paris. So many of my favorite movies take place there: An American in Paris, Gigi, Sabrina, Funny Face, Charade. Heck, pretty much every Audrey Hepburn movie is set in Paris!
12. Favorite decade for movies.
Probably the '30s.
13. Chick flick or action movie?
Chick flick.
14. Hero, villain or anti-hero?
15. Black and white or color?
Black and white, I suppose, although I wouldn't want to live without all my beautiful Technicolor movies.

Ten Things to Consider When Buying a Utility Cart or Wagon: Carlisle UC401823 Small Bin Top Utility Service Cart
When it comes to utility carts, every manufacturer has something new to offer with a sweet story to it. But don't get carried away by all the sweet talk since some of these products don't perform as advertised.
What you need is a utility cart that has the right storage components, weight capacity, construction material, and comfort level; without forgetting durability and ease of movement. Still stuck on your search? Feel free to explore our list of the best utility carts under 200$ and maybe you can get what you're looking for.1) Benzara 65572 Antique Colonial Metal Mirror bar Cart | 2) Carlisle UC401823 Utility / Service Cart | 3) Carlisle UC3031827 Stainless Steel 18-8 Utility Cart | 4) GSW Solid 1-Inch Tubular Utility Cart | 5) Luxor (SSC-3) Stainless Steel Utility Cart| 6) LUXOR LP34CLE-B Endura 3-Shelf Presentation Cart | 7) Metro Deep Ledge Series Antimicrobial Polymer Utility Cart | 8) New Star 1 pc Heavy Duty Utility Cart | 9) OSP Designs Isabella Wine Cart | 10) Quantum Storage Systems WRC-2436-2CG Utility Cart | 11) Rock N Roller R2RT 8-in-1 Micro Multi-Cart | 12) Harper Trucks 800 lb Appliance Hand Truck | 13) Rubbermaid Commercial 9T6571BG Three-Shelf Service Cart | 14) Rubbermaid Commercial 342488BLA Economy Plastic Cart | 15) Rock N Roller R6RT 8-in-1 Mini Multi-Cart | 16) Eckla Beach Rolly Gear Cart | 17) Rubbermaid Commercial Plastic Cart | 18) Rubbermaid Commercial HD Utility Cart | 19) Rubbermaid FG450089BLA Heavy-Duty Utility Cart | 20) Dock Edge iCart DockSide Pneumatic Tires |
- Stability: Steer clear of tippy wagons. Go ahead and push down on one side of the wagon to test its tippiness. There is a trade off in many wagons and carts between stability and maneuverability. One or two wheels carts seem to offer more maneuverability while empty, but quickly become tippy and less maneuverable when loaded. How frustrating to tip out the load you just finished loading! Four wheeled wagons are much steadier than one or two wheeled carts.
- Maneuverability: The easier the wagon turns, the easier on you. A wagon that turns in place is optimal. Give the wagon a test run to see how much space you need to turn it around. You should also try backing it into a tight spot. Now try to imagine doing the same thing with a full load.
- Dumping: Everything should dump out in one, easy motion. You should be able to dump your load where you want, when you want. Some carts require that you lift them in addition to the load. Ouch! Remember, this is supposed to make it easier. Watch out for carts that don't tilt far enough to dump everything out. That's a job half done. Check to see if you have to remove panels before you dump. Problems arise when the panel's tracks get gunked up or the panels become dented, warped or rusted. Also check the cart or wagon carefully for sharp edges or shin banger pieces that lie in wait for that dumping moment.
- Axle: The axle is the wagon's Achilles heel. The axle(s) determines both how much weight you can carry and the ground clearance. If you load the cart up with too much weight, the axle may bend. Depending on the cart's design, this may or may not be repairable. The height of the axle from the ground is also critical. Unfortunately, if you catch a rock or curb with that axle, you could end up with scrap metal. Higher ground clearance pays dividends in ease, too. The less the axle rubs against tall grass or brush, the easier it is to get things moved.Wheels: The bigger the diameter of the wheel, the easier the wagon will roll. Big wheels roll right over small ruts and hills, lessening roll resistance. And bigger wheels roll easier over obstacles like rocks, roots, branches, and the garden hose. Once you've chosen large wheels, then choose the right tire for your application. Semi-pnuematic (never flat) tires are great around areas with thorns, nails, and other pokey things that make you reach for the patch kit and air pump. These narrower tires are also good for surfaces that aren't very soft because they have less roll resistance than balloon tires (look at how thin the wheels are on racing bicycles).
- Materials: Choose materials that will last. UV treated plastic and anodized aluminum are the best choices for a long life free of rust, denting, warping, and break down from barn acids. Steel is strong, but it's heavy and, even when powder coated, it will get scratched, dented, and eventually rust. Wood is lighter than steel, but it will warp, splinter, and rot - especially if it's exposed to the elements or barn acids. Read the labels on treated wood to understand what's leeching into what you're moving. Plastics are rot resistant but some types of plastics can be brittle or flimsy or break down from sunlight. The plastic should be UV treated and substantial. See if you can bend down the sides or cause the plastic to bow. The tendency for this to happen will increase greatly when loaded. Look to see if the wheels or rims are made from plastic. Plastic wheels may flex or deform if left under load. If carrying liquids is important, be sure the cargo portion is seamless.
- Hand, hitch, or motor: Think about how you will use the cart or wagon to understand what's best for you. Will you primarily move the cart or wagon by hand? How easy will that be with the types of loads you want to carry? Do you have a riding mower or ATV you want to hitch the wagon or cart to? How easy is it to switch between using it by hand and with a hitch? Even if you want to primarily tow the wagon or cart, being able to move it easily by hand is a huge plus for tight spaces, finite adjustments, or short distances. Are you considering a cart or wagon with an integrated motor? The convenience of a motor may be outweighed by the need to have a covered storage area and the necessity to start up the motor even when moving things just a short distance. Also factor in the engine maintenance and the need for a convenient fuel source. Overall, a cart or wagon that can be easily moved by more than one method is more valuable than one that locks you into just one way.
- Spare parts: Repair, don't replace. Look at how the cart or wagon is constructed to be sure that if one part breaks or wears out it can be replaced. Check with the manufacturer to be sure spare parts are readily available. And while you're at it, ask about the warranty.
- Accessories: Being able to customize the wagon to your needs makes it more valuable. Hitch adapters, side boards, tool holders, alternate cargo beds all greatly increase the flexibility and usefulness of the cart or wagon.
- Value: Versatility, durability, and ease of use spell value. What is the ideal tool to help you move what you need - or want - to move? Will it work great for this week's project as well as for all those on the "to do" list? The more versatile, durable and easy to use your wagon is, the more useful and valuable it becomes. True worth is measured in what the product offers to you.

California only has a short amount of time to fix its troubled economy,with an $84 billion budget and $24 billion deficit, or else it will deteriorate to the point of no return, Sean Egan, founding partner and president of Egan-Jones Rating Company, told CNBC on Monday.
"They have a little bit of time and they better use it quickly and properly or else they're going to enter what we call 'the black hole'," Egan said.
Egan's firm is noted by many as one of the few rating agencies that called the credit crisis.
'The black hole' refers to a credit status that has increasing difficulty accessing the market on an independent basis on reasonable terms and therefore continues to worsen, he added.
But, Egan quickly noted that California has shown some improvement, especially in terms of unemployment and the tech sector.
"If California shows some tangible progress in cutting their deficit and hopefully addressing the pension plan over the next year-and-a-half, they'll be okay," he said.
Europe's sovereign debt crisis, on the other hand, has already hit 'the black hole.'
"The crisis is already there basically. In the case of Greece, it's unsustainable in the same way it is with Ireland," Egan said.
"Ireland has tax revenues of about 30 billion euros—all in all, they have about 300 billion euros of obligations of total indebtedness," he said.
In addition, with Ireland borrowing at interest rates of 8 percent or higher, it just doesn't work and it's just a matter of time before it breaks down, Egan went on to say.
"It depends on what's happening with Germany and France, whether they are going to support the periphery countries and on what terms," he added.

About penstock
When applying for a patent, the applicant has a built-in time limit to "perfect the invention" before the final decision is made by the examiner as to whether or not the invention is patentable at all. If the invention is "incomplete" or doesn't quite work yet when the application time limit runs out, the application is rejected.
So, do the same thing at the other end: treat the invention as "probational" even after the patent is issued - say, for two years. The examiner watches the newly issued patent as though carrying out the implementation of the invention is part of the original "proof of concept" portion during the application process. If the new patent holder fails to do anything with the new invention after two years, the patent is automatically "challenged" by the examiner, and the patent holder has to demonstrate why they failed to implement the invention. If they cannot defend their patent, it reverts into the public domain -- which allows anyone else access to it use -- but they cannot re-patent it -- they must "improve" upon it in order to apply for their own version.
These patent troll cases sound a lot like extortion schemes, which would put them under the definition of racketeering. And since when is an "idea" patentable - it used to require a specific embodiment as an application of that idea, and then the patent would only protect that specific embodiment - what is this "broad coverage" thing all about? Sounds like the kind of "deregulation" that got Wall Street into trouble. As usual, it is the lawyers that stand to make a killing off this corruption of the patent system.
Is there a discussion here? If increasing the quantity of new patent publications does not directly relate to innovation -- then these two topics must be separate issues -- apples and oranges.
If an increased number of flawed patents are injected into the marketplace -- then what are the consequences? Well, for one, this assures more continued business for the law firms litigating these instruments of extortion. If there were a way to assure that these new patents were not the flawed product of a dysfunctional system, then perhaps they would be able to contribute to the process of innovation. But one of the principal reasons for patents at all is their ability to "teach" and stimulate innovation. What lesson can be learned from reading a flawed patent? This is where the element of "innovation" breaks down. Patent applications are based on the citation of prior art -- if that chain of citations is flawed, then any subsequent citation will probably be tainted.
I've been inventing various things since I was thirteen years old -- dozen of things -- and each effort was an attempt to solve a problem. Sometimes these problems were born out of personal "need" -- but more often than not, they were the result of an "observation" that led to a "personal challenge" to solve a difficult problem that others had not been able to do. Many years later, my inventions began to slam into the harsh realities of trying to do business in today's marketplace. Patents are a necessity - like having to "anty in" to sit down and join a poker game. It has little to do with solving problems nor innovation. It's more like having to pay taxes in order to stay in business. And because the patent development process is so time consuming and tedious, I'd rather not have to bother with it -- but I must -- because these business organizations rely on patents to create equity and to protect their investments.
What is amazing to think about is "why isn't there more than one Wikileak-type website already?" The moment Wikileaks goes down there will be an outbreak of competition to replace them - there are many sites just waiting in the wings to take center-stage once a vacuum has been created. People want this information - all sorts of it - and the provider will achieve instant status as a "heroic legend" - even if as an outlaw that must hide behind anonymity. Information is unstoppable, and as long as there are whistle blowers out there - there will be a need to publish these documents online.
The discussion on 'third-party ownership' of someone else's intellectual property (whether copyrighted or patented) is still incomplete. Some of the discussions here over the past couple years have appeared "promising" toward forwarding a better understanding of this issue, but the fundamental basis for this "ownership" is still unresolved. Can someone "own" the creative IP of someone else - or merely license its use for commercial exploitation? What is a "copyright owner" - wouldn't it be far better to define these "recording studios" as the "current IP licensee" and acting on behalf of the original "IP creative talent" in collecting revenue?
Attention may in fact be a constant here, but that only tells half the story. The other half is the comprehension and mental processing of the information we are presented. The human mind is like our muscles - it is a "use it or loose it" proposition. The mind must be 'exercised' and 'expanded' in order to be ready to utilize all of the information we are exposed to everyday. If a mind is allowed to become 'semi-comatose' from inactivity or 'low-value' information processing, it can atrophy and end up incapable of comprehending important information when it arises. For example, exposing the mind to excessive television entertainment, or relying too heavily on 'sound-bites' instead of detailed news reports.
I agree with this reasoning -- this discussion is bordering on the principle of 'mob rule' wins in any democracy. This is why we adhere to 'rule of law' over 'mob rule' -- why we have a 'republic' instead of a democracy in this country...

After tweaking the BMW S1000RR for the 2012 model year, it is likely that the liter-bike King will remain relatively unchanged for another year. Though according to SoyMotero, BMW is set to milk the current iteration for bit more value with a more premium model. Teasing out the 2013 BMW S1000RR HP4, zie Germans have finally gotten around to doing some "High Performance" treatment to their only true sport bike. Leaving things relatively unchanged underneath the fairings, the Bavarians have some big changes for the BMW S1000RR HP4, part of which is 20 lbs in less mass.
The big weight savings seem to come from the exhaust system and the addition of forged aluminum wheels. Other changes include revised bodywork, a solo seat, launch control, updated traction control, and wait for it…BMW's Dynamic Damping Control (DDC), which as far as we know is the first application of computer-controlled active electronic suspension in the motorcycle market. No prices yet, though we would expect a hefty price tag to be announced when the BMW S1000RR HP4 officially breaks cover later this year during the Intermot or EICMA shows.

"To read for others is a privilege I don't take lightly," says Hema, a third-generation psychic, clairvoyant/clairsentient medium and animal communicator. "It's vital that I share what I see with utmost honesty, but deliver that with kindness and compassion. And bring a little lightness where possible!"
Hema's ethos is to serve Spirit by offering the highest level of empathic support, insight and clarity she possibly can to those who seek answers on their own path.
Her first memories of the spirit world were at the age of five, seeing 'strange lights' and sensing an ethereal presence of different people in her childhood home. Being a keen spiritualist, her Gran explained what was happening in a very no-nonsense, reassuring way and that experience opened up a lifelong fascination with what lay beyond the physical world.
Hema's curiosity and passion about spirituality continued throughout her teens, so she became a profound natural at reading Tarot for others. Following her aunt's footsteps as an experienced rostrum medium, Hema then went into development herself and began to give messages from the platform and take services around her region. She has since run development and psychic awareness classes for local students, while she herself has studied Reiki, advanced Tarot, astrology, angels, Shamanism and animal communication in-depth over the years to support her work with others.
With a professional psychic career spanning almost 20 years, Hema is known for getting to the point quickly and aims to give a 360 degree view of the situation so that the client can decide the best options for themselves.

Spell Checker
Posted by on 17 December 2010 02:49 PM
Using the Spell Checker
When editing a page with the NE1 web builder, the spell checker can come in quite handy. A web page needs to be spelled correctly to add credibility. Nothing can de-value a page more than poor design or an obviously misspelled word.
To begin wih, the small arrow next to the spell checker icon allows a choice of languages for the included dictionary. Click the small arrow and choose the preferred language. (The default language is English.)
Once any text has been entered on the page, the spell checker can be used by clicking on the "check-mark" icon. When a misspelled word is found, it is underlined with a small wavy red line as in the figure below:
In order to correct the error, click directly on the word that has been underlined. NE1 will then provide a list of suggested words. Choose the desired word by clicking on it. The correct word will automatically take the place of the incorrect word.
By clicking on "Ignore word", you can instruct the spell checker to no longer indicate a misspelling for that particular word. However, unless you choose "Ignore all", the next instance of the misspelled word will be flagged.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Sales at U.S. retailers increased in August by the smallest amount since late spring, but business was stronger earlier in the summer than initially estimated.
Retail sales climbed a seasonally adjusted 0.2% last month, the Commerce Department said Friday. That was the smallest increase since April and well below the MarketWatch forecast of a 0.5% increase.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
In U.S. on Friday, stock markets were mixed, as the retail report had little effect on trading.
The slow pace of sales growth in August was offset by faster sales in the prior two months, particularly July. Sales in July were twice as strong as first reported, up 0.4% instead of 0.2%.
The upshot: sales in the first two months of the third quarter point to an economy still growing at around 2%, the pace at which it has been expanding over the past few years.
Americans remain cautious in their spending habits because of slow growth in wages and job creation — companies hired fewer workers toward the end of summer. And that's a big obstacle to growth since consumers are main driver of the U.S. economy.
Barring a sudden pickup in spending, some economists say, there's little chance of the U.S. economy shifting into a higher gear before the end of the year.
"With employment conditions recently disappointing, a breakout in spending appears unlikely," said Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors. "All of this could result in fourth quarter growth failing to live up to expectations."
In August, sales at auto dealers, electronics stores and home-furnishing outlets led the way. Auto sales jumped 0.9% in a month when dealers sold the most vehicles since the 2007. Annualized sales topped 16 million last month.
Sales at home-furnishing stores also rose 0.9% and sales of electronic and appliances advanced 0.8%.
Excluding the auto sector, which accounts for about 20% of all retail sales, sales rose a scant 0.1%. That was less than Wall Street's forecast of 0.3% increase.
Sales declined at stores that sell home-improvement products, clothes, sporting goods, books, music and other hobby items.
Sales at gas-stations, which have been up and down throughout the year, were unchanged.
Retail sales have risen a mild 4.7% over the past 12 months, unadjusted for inflation. In the three years prior to the 2007-2009 recession, retail sales grew at a annual pace of 6.2%, 6.5% and 5.4%.
Separately, the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters index of consumer sentiment fell to the lowest level in five months in September. Read more on sentiment.

Adjectives modify or affect the meaning of nouns and pronouns and tell us which, whose, what kind, and how many about the nouns or pronouns they modify. They come before the noun or pronoun they modify except for the predicate adjective which comes after a linking verb and modifies the subject.
There are seven (7) words in the English language that are always adjectives. They are the articles a, an, and the and the possessives my, our, your, and their. (The possessives are from the possessive pronoun list but are always used with nouns as adjectives.) One should memorize them so they are immediately recognized as adjectives.
Example of adjectives: The big brown bear grabbed the scared small man. The, big and brown modify the subject bearand the, scared and small modify the direct object man. Examples of a predicate adjective: The big bear is brown. The brown bear was big. Brown and big come after the linking verbs is and was and modify the subject bear.
Adjectives that point out how many are indefinite pronouns like many, several, both, and numbers.
Instructions: Find the adjectives that tell how many in these sentences and tell what they modify.
1. Both companies need twenty-four workers by tomorrow.
2. Several citizens protested the many cars on the two lots.
3. Seventy-six trombones led the few drummers and some tubas.
4. Three people tried out for one part in the play.
5. Each train needed another car and more passengers.

Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Eight Westminster College faculty presented at the fourth Bridges International Faculty Workshop at Western Galilee College in Akko, Israel June 3-7. Seven different higher education institutions participated in this workshop focused on forging American-Israeli academic collaborations.
Dr. Sherri Pataki, associate professor of psychology and coordinator of Westminster's Peace Studies Program, presented "Gender Roles and Empowering Women" at the conference with her research partners Dr. Randa Abbas from Western Galilee College and Dr. Carey Ryan from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Their research focused on recent changes in women's gender roles in traditional Arab societies as well as perceptions of the "other" between American and Israeli students.
Dr. Amy Camardese, associate professor of education and chair of the department, presented "Kindles Aid Students with Learning Disabilities." She and Dr. Eileen Morelli, associate professor of education, researched if reading fluency and comprehension could be improved in elementary and middle school special education settings with the use of the Kindle as an aid in the reading process.
Dr. Carolyn Cuff, professor of mathematics and statistics, presented "Issues in Qualitative and Quantitative Research - Statistics Education for the 21st Century." She focused the presentation on current issues in statistics education, including how students learn to think about variation, how students learn statistical terms and applications and how they learn to apply statistical methods to their own research.
Dr. Timothy Cuff, associate professor of history, led discussion during the "History and the Social Sciences" roundtable, which focused on the relationship between historical research and study, and social science approaches to research. Faculty members from Westminster and Western Galilee shared ideas and experiences from both sides of the methodological aisle in order to gain a better understanding of the benefits and challenges of each approach.
Dr. Linda Domanski, associate professor of education, and Dr. Mandy Medvin, professor of psychology, department chair and Director of Westminster's preschool laboratory, focused on two research projects with Israeli research partner Dr. Yehuda Peled. Their first workshop on "Interactive White Boards" provided information on the second year of data collected regarding the use of interactive white boards in four rural school districts. The second presentation, "Cyberbullying," explored current research on student beliefs about internet aggression and the challenges of international collaborations.
Dr. Charlene Klassen Endrizzi, professor of education and faculty development officer, presented "Encouraging Literacy at Home." The cross-cultural research inquiry focused on offering literacy workshops for Israeli and American kindergarten mothers. Endrizzi is exploring how to help Jewish, Muslim and Druze Israeli mothers, along with African American, Latino, Polish and Greek U.S. mothers, value their essential role as their child's first literacy partners.
Dr. Shannon Smithey, associate professor of political science, presented preliminary results for "Rights and Interaction with the Police." She researched probation practices and what kind of offenders are on probation in Western Pennsylvania, in anticipation of developing a study that compares probation locally with that in Israel. Smithey was also a discussant to a presentation on the need for religious accommodation in the Israeli military.
Dr. Bryan Rennie, Vira I. Heinz professor of religion and chair of the department of religion, history, philosophy, and classics, presented "The Ethology of Art and Religion" during one of four plenary sessions. His research focused on the idea that religions as distinct as the religions of ancient Greece, imperial Rome, artic hunter-gatherers, and even prehistoric hunters, shared similar ritual customs and could be assumed to have an evolutionarily adaptive origin. This approach was also applied to the study of art and literary criticism. Rennie discussed the positive adaptive contribution of religious traditions.
In addition to presenting their research, Westminster faculty had the opportunity to visit sites of interest in the area. This included the Galilee Bilingual School for Arab and Jewish children and Tefan Industrial Park, which houses many museums and art installations on the property. The group also visited Manof Youth Village, local conservation sites, and the Ghetto Fighters House Museum, which was founded by survivors of the Holocaust and was the world's first Holocaust museum.
Faculty travel to the conference was partially underwritten by the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation, Westminster's Faculty Development Program, and the offices of the Academic Dean and President. Other institutions that participated included Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, Texas A & M University, University of Nebraska at Omaha and William Paterson University.

But, be careful whose advice you follow! Here are two contrasting pieces of advice emanating from Chicago.
First, Betsy Hart of the Chicago Sun Times relates her experience...
It used to make me crazy when people would invite my then-husband and me over to dinner, only to discover that another couple we'd never met had been included because the hosts thought we would ''just love these folks.''
Whether we did or not, we'd have to spend the whole night making small talk and asking, ''So, how old are your kids?'' I was at a stage in life where I didn't want to learn how old someone's kids were. I just wanted to relax with people I already knew.
Just being with people you know is easy and safe -- no effort, nor risk required. But it gets you a dull network -- everyone knows everyone else, everyone agrees with everyone else, and everyone hears what is going on at the same time. This is OK for friendship networks, but not good for business networks, nor for those of us who like a little variety in our friends and opportunities in our networks.
Ron Burt, Professor of Sociology and Strategy at the University of Chicago, is one of the top experts on social capital in the world. His advice is different. He suggests we focus on those who are different, rather than on those we are already connected to.
They have broader access to information because of their diverse contacts. That means they are more often aware of new opportunities, and aware earlier than their peers.
Below is a diagram from Ron's work that shows the difference in the two types of networks. James has chosen the easy redundant strategy, while Robert has chosen the more difficult diverse contacts strategy. As Ron goes on to explain in this short article [PDF], it is Robert who has the advantage because of his network structure. Robert weaves a better network from the same starting point as James -- he is a network entrepreneur.
Enjoy a productive New Year in your entrepreneurial network!
UPDATE: Here is an excellent article on building business networks from the Harvard Business Review [PDF]. Though this article focuses on corporate managers, the advice is useful for those working in the not-for-profit sector and for community builders. Take note of their advice on the network change required when moving from being a manager to being a leader.
Notice how the HBR avice in building a strategic network meshes with Burt's advice on building a diverse network.
