Preview for A Bold And Not-So-Beautiful Experiment
So I was going to wait till I got a few weeks of episodes under my belt, but there were just too many awesome things in this last batch of episodes to keep mum. I am making an attempt at picking up The Bold and the Beautiful, which I have not watched since the eighties. Obviously as the soaps are disappearing one-by-one (or two), it's worth it to find new ones to keep the genre alive (if such a thing can occur). Obviously I don't have the history with B&B that would make me a perfect candidate to cover it, but I will certainly try. And I'm kind of looking forward to you wonderful readers filling me in on years of backstory and linking me to sites that cover all the ugly details, if any of you are so inclined.
Still kickin'!
Among the reasons I chose B&B instead of another show: I used to watch it. Literally from the very first episode. Also, it's only a half hour, so probably a lot easier to catch up on and watch in marathon form. I'm also told Scott Clifton, Rick Hearst, Andrea Evans, and Jack Wagner are on it, and that works for me, though from what I've seen they don't exactly eat up screentime. In fact, I have yet to see some of them at all. (So, uh, Rick Hearst's character is really named Whipple? This is what people actually call him?) I also mistakenly thought Ian Buchanan was still on it, but apparently that ended years ago. I am psyched that Alley Mills is on the show; I had no idea!
Among the reasons I'm frightened of taking on B&B: soaps are personal. Viewers are hardcore. I will make fun of things that I have no right to, and I will get things wrong regularly. And I will be confused all the time.
So I guess my point is, use the comments below to talk about whether you'd enjoy a B&B presence here at Serial Drama. And remember, correct me as much as necessary, I welcome it! While it's clearly true that Serial Drama is responsible for the fact that Mallory, Becca, and I are all fabulously wealthy and world-famous (obviously), we don't have fact-checkers.
Okay, first of all, Hunter Tylo's upper lip is its own character on this show. I suspected as much before jumping in, but it's truly frightening. Also, is Heather Tom angry that she's on another show where a major female character does the nasty with her stepson? Or jealous that it's not her character? How many times has Ridge been married to Brooke, and how many times has he been married to Taylor? And how many collective children do they all have? There must be a lot of incest on this show, right? If I recall correctly, the last time I watched this show, none of them had any children at all. Are any of them long-losts or just products of the SORAS? (Sure, I know this is all available on the internet. I'll get to it, but I also know it's fun to introduce people to your show... so feel free!)
Speaking of the last time I watched this show, other than the fact that the actors have aged, the look of the show hasn't changed a bit. I'm pretty sure in B&B's Southern California, it's definitely still 1989. There are a lot of new characters, but I'm impressed with how many have stuck around. Ridge, Brooke, Taylor, Thorne, Eric, Stephanie, and they do all seem to be central to this day. Is that fair, or has this plane crash storyline not really been representative of the typically major players?
I am loving the daytime love scenes. They're totally old school with the slow-motion and the horns and the jump-cuts to various pieces of clothing being removed. And seriously, Brooke stranded on the island with her ripped dress exposing her black bra and undies is about the old-school soapiest imagery you can get.
And the special effects? Well...
Love it. Love it.
And I am sure that message boards all over the internet lit up with this one so I'm way late to the party, and correct me if I'm wrong, but is this a visible cue card??!!
Because if it is, that is amazing.
That's all I got. For now. Should we keep going?
Whipple out!

I've been reading former U.S. Sen. Al D'Amato's last few columns, extolling the virtues of Republican County Executive Ed Mangano. D'Amato, a Republican, represents a half-dozen companies that, coincidentally, are doing business with Mangano and the Nassau County government. I was a Nassau County legislator during our last fiscal crisis, under Republican County Executive Tom Gulotta, and I can't help but think that we're slipping back to the bad old days under Mangano.
Let's remember that when former County Executive Tom Suozzi came into office in 2002, the county's finances were in disarray. We were rated the "worst-run county in America." But Suozzi, who is now running for county executive against Mangano, cleaned things up, putting the county back on sound fiscal footing.
Suozzi reduced borrowing, cut the county's debt and had eight straight years of verified balanced budgets. He reduced the county's work force by more than 11 percent, and did it without a single layoff.
Don't take my word for it, or Senator D'Amato's; look at what outside observers say about Nassau's finances. Under Suozzi's leadership, independent credit rating agencies (Moody's, Fitch and Standard & Poor's) gave Nassau County 13 consecutive bond rating upgrades, the most of any municipality, county or state in the country over that same period. Under Mangano, these same credit rating agencies downgraded the county's credit three consecutives times, the first time that had happened in more than a decade.
In just three and a half years, Mangano has turned Nassau into a county in crisis, dependent on debt, staring down at a financial implosion of historic proportions. Mangano and the county Republican Party machine have cracked the financial foundation that it took Suozzi and the Democrats eight years to rebuild.
Instead of building a better Nassau, Mangano used the same shovel as Gulotta did to dig us back into the hole Suozzi inherited when he first took office. Mangano has borrowed more than $2 billion, taken out the largest "cash advance" in Nassau County history and maxed out the county's "credit cards," increasing the county's debt to the highest level in history.


text: Another eggceptional addition to the oeuvre of this feather-brained duo unfolds as in the traditional tale: Mom dies (fox in chicken coop), stepmother moves in with two daughters (Ovumelda and Cholestera), father sent away ("wild goose chase"), Chickerella's life goes downhill. Chickerella wants desperately to attend the Fowl Ball. Not to nab a husband, but to see all the fabulous gowns (sewing is her specialty). The Fairy Goosemother saves the day, but midnight has Chickerella fleeing, leaving behind a glass egg that just could not be kept inside (blame it on the magic water). Reunited, the Prince and Chickerella find that they both attended the ball only for the gowns and decide to start their own fashion business. No wedding, but still a happily ever after. Wordplay and visual details will have adult readers laughing aloud, from the "Chickenstock" sandals to the "eggstravaganza" of a fashion show in "New Yolks." Most amazing is the artwork. A note explains that Mary Jane made posable chicken mannequins, also creating all their clothes and accessories. Herm took photos of all the set objects, scaling them by using a computer. The result is a cast of 3-D characters reminiscent of Jim Henson's "Dark Crystal." In a market stuffed with fairytale remakes, this one is a must-have for collections. (Picture book. 3-10)

Industry News
SALON TOUR: Liquid Hair Salon in Brunswick, New Jersey
It's all about the little details that make Liquid Hair Salon in East Brunswick, NJ stand out from the rest.
Upon entering (or leaving) the salon, the salon's stylists help clients take off or put on their coats and walk them to their car with an umbrella if it's raining to keep their hair dry. They provide hot hand towels, hand massages, an aroma sensory journey and scalp massage with every shampoo. Owner, William Distelcamp even treats his stylists with balloons and chocolate covered strawberries on their birthdays.
However, one of the salon's most prestigious features is it's Freestyle Systems weightless blow dryer units. When co-owner Lilly Distelcamp got carpal tunnel syndrome, the couple looked into ergonomic options they could add to their salon to help both Lilly and their stylists from straining their wrists, arms and shoulders. They chose Freestyle Systems -- a system where the blow dryer is suspended from above and supports the total weight of the dryer. When in use, the dryer feels like it's floating. Lilly says all of her problems vanished after they installed the system.
Liquid Hair Salon's stylists are Aveda certified and trained, and education is a primary and fundamental part of their culture. The salon opened its doors seven years ago with two full-time stylists and one part-time position. Now, they have eight full-time stylists with six stations which are accomplished by double booking the stations by creating shifts. "I have never had one stylist ever leave or quit my salon, ever." says Distelcamp. "The stylists are paid 50% service commission with a 10% retail commission."
Liquid Hair Salon has been featured in the Salon Today 200 three times, has won five Aveda Awards for excellence, and is one of the top ten income producing Aveda salons in New Jersey. Read more about their salon stats below.
Name of owners: William & Lilly Distelcamp
Date of opening: 9/1/2006
Description of style: Sleek, modern, minimalist, form follows function, clean lines, yet warm and relaxing with the use of renewable and or reclaimed materials. The style is somewhat industrial (such as the Craftsman made stations) with the warmth of reclaimed wooden features such as the mirror frames, counters, ledges and a very interesting handmade, custom, reclaimed, wooden wall which consists of over 2,200 individual pieces which were installed one piece at a time. "I built the wall myself with my wife, and yes it took a lot of time and work!" says Distelcamp.
Square footage: 900 sq. ft.
Number of styling stations: six styling stations, two color stations, four color processing chairs
Salon/spa Equipment Lines used: Freestyle Systems blow dryer units. Craftsman Professional stations, Salon Interiors cabinetry. Elchim, Gamma Pui, Mega Power and Twin Turbo blow dryers
Furniture lines used: Takara Belmont and Salon Interiors
Retail lines carried: Aveda
Color lines used: Aveda
Design firm: "I designed the salon myself. I actually built it myself with my son and wife. We did everything from jack-hammering the cement floor, electric, plumbing, built the walls, ceiling, lighting, mirrors and frames. Literally everything. It took nine months to build," says Distelcamp.
Architect: William Distelcamp

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With games in Austin, Texas, Boulder, Colorado, and Princeton, New Jersey among others, the Lipscomb men's basketball team is set to rack up some frequent flyer miles during a challenging 2014-15 campaign.
"When looking at the overall schedule, you're not going to find a coach anywhere that doesn't say that it's a difficult one, but I'm not going to say that," said Lipscomb head coach Casey Alexander. "I'm going to say that we have a lot of balance. It's a schedule that catches the eye of anybody who looks at it closely. We've got some high profile names on there. We've got a lot of local teams that have had significant success and the Atlantic Sun schedule is the one that we're most concerned about."
Returning four of the five starters from last season's squad, the Bisons open play in November with the first five games in the Music City. The season kicks off on Nov. 14 as NCAA Division III foe Berry comes to Allen Arena. Lipscomb then hosts Belmont in the annual renewal of the "Battle of the Boulevard" on Nov. 17 ahead of the short trip to take on Vanderbilt on Nov. 20.
"It's a great opportunity for Bison fans to see our team early and get a good glimpse of who we are and what our season is going to look like," said Alexander. "It's exciting for us but there are some tough games in that stretch. It will be important for us to hold our own to get the season started."
The home slate resumes on Nov. 22 as the Bisons take on Transylvania before making the return trek to battle Belmont on Nov. 24 at the Curb Event Center.
"Having four additional nonconference games to fill is a challenge," said Alexander. "Really you can always look and see who you want to play but having that team having a desire to play you and then fitting that puzzle together to play is difficult. We take four games that were typically in January or February and we now have got to find nonconference opponents. That's a pretty difficult challenge.
"We feel good about where we finished. We ended up playing a non-Division I game that we didn't anticipate playing to make it work but overall we are really pleased with the layout of our schedule".
Following the battle with the Bruins, the Purple and Gold head west to the Rocky Mountains to take on Colorado in the first-ever meeting between the two schools that share similar horned mascots.
"When you are putting together a nonconference schedule you want to find games that are attractive to not only fans, but also give your players an opportunity to maybe see part of the country that they haven't seen before or play in places that they haven't played before," noted Alexander.
Lipscomb continues nonconference action in December hosting Tennessee State on Dec. 6 in between road contests at Tennessee Tech and Austin Peay in the first half of the month.
With exams finished, Alexander's squad will head to the Lonestar State to face Big XII power Texas in Austin on Dec. 16 before heading back across the country to play Princeton on Dec. 19 marking the first Ivy League opponent in school history for the Bisons.
"The trip to Princeton is going to be an exciting one for our team," said Alexander. "The trip alone will be a great experience. We are going to have a chance to spend a whole day in New York City and for several of our players that will be a first. But we're going up there to play a game against a team that has had a lot of NCAA tournament success. Just their style alone makes them really difficult to play.
"The Princeton offense as it's called and rightfully so, is unique and a challenge but it's one that's fun to prepare for. They will be a team that's fun to play against and one that will make our team better win or lose."
Lipscomb then returns home to the Volunteer State to host Ohio Valley Conference foe Austin Peay on Dec. 21 before renewing an in-state rivalry with Chattanooga with the first meeting of the two schools since 2002 on Dec. 29.
"The trip to Chattanooga after Christmas will be a great test for us," said Alexander. "It's a game like a lot of our games, that our fans we be able to get to and have some natural rivalry to it because of the proximity. Chattanooga is a team that historically has had a lot of success and with Will Wade there they had a season very similar to ours last year.
"We're excited about going down there and playing that game. It's always important to us if we can to play local games and as many local teams as we can. It just makes sense when you're putting a schedule together because people in our area that pull for us know those names and know those teams."
A trip to Southeastern Conference foe Missouri kicks off the 2015 portion of the slate on Jan. 3 before the Bisons wrap up non-league action hosting NCAA Division III foe Rhodes on Jan. 5
Now featuring eight teams with the departure of East Tennessee State and Mercer, the shortened Atlantic Sun Conference schedule kicks off on Jan. 10 as Lipscomb hosts Northern Kentucky.
"The Atlantic Sun is where we are ultimately going to be measured," said Alexander. "Our philosophy is that it's the only place where everybody is playing the exact same schedule home and away. It's going to determine whether we think about whether this was a successful season or not."
"I think as we reflect on last year, that's the reason we look back and say we felt like we accomplished a few things on the front end that people didn't expect us to. So now what we have to do is take that strong finish and take that to the next level. The Atlantic Sun is going to be as competitive as it has been. Anybody who wins this league is going to be a formidable opponent in the NCAA tournament. So what we need to make happen is make sure that's Lipscomb this year."
The 14-game conference campaign and 2014-15 regular season is set to wrap up on Feb. 28 as Lipscomb hosts Kennesaw State in Nashville.
The top four teams in the conference will again host the first round of the A-Sun Championships on Mar. 3 with the highest remaining seeds hosting the semifinals and finals on campus as well on March 5 and 8, respectively.
Season tickets are now on sale and can be purchased by calling 615-966-HERD (4373) or by visiting http://www.LipscombTickets.com

IowaAdmin's Geocaching Blog
It's rare that a geocacher will thank a reviewer for turning down a new cache listing, but that's exactly what happened yesterday. When I recently reviewed a cached placed in the Scott Wildlife Management Area, I posted a note to the owner asking if he had received permission from the Iowa DNR. In the meantime, I archived the listing. Yesterday the cache owner emailed this to me:
"Greetings, Ken the IowaAdmin ---
This is to let you know that I did not receive permission to place my geocache in the Scott WMA. I actually had a friendly chat with the local land manager. He patiently explained the reasons for denial of permission to me. We continued talking about geocaching and he suggested a number of possible sites in western Mills County. I'll check these out. So, I withdraw my request for approval of this cache.
Thanks for keeping this geocacher out of trouble."
It's so nice when everyone helps make the process work like it's supposed to, and we all do our part to protect and promote geocaching by being courteous and respectful.
A blog by one of the volunteer reviewers for Geocaching.com. It's about geocaching and the review process -- what it takes to get your new caches listed on the world's most popular geocaching web site. ©Copyright 2012 by K.Braband. All rights reserved

Pretty cool that he actually went to talk to the ranger instead of just dropping it when you asked.

And a big "attta-boy" to the DNR land manager for encouraging the sport. Not just a decline of permission - but a "how about placing one here". I, for one, give my thanks.

Senate narrowly advances Obama Labor secretary nominee
The Senate voted by the slimmest margin Wednesday to end a filibuster against President Obama's choice to head the Labor Department, as this week's agreement averting a poisonous partisan clash over nominations and the chamber's rules barely survived its toughest test so far.
By 60-40, senators rejected Republican objections and voted to halt delaying tactics aimed at killing Thomas Perez's nomination to become labor secretary.
It takes 60 votes to end filibusters. With all 52 Democrats and both Democratic-leaning independents voting to halt the delays, Republicans supplied the minimum number of votes needed to keep Perez's selection alive -- six.
In so doing, the GOP seemed to signal that while they would adhere to the agreement, their ranks bristling with unhappiness over the deal itself and against Perez in particular. In the deal announced Tuesday, top Republicans agreed to end delays against seven stalled Obama nominations and Democrats promised to drop efforts to change Senate rules to limit filibusters.
Perez is a top Justice Department official whom Republicans have criticized for his handling of a whistle-blower case against the city of St. Paul, Minn., and for not heeding a congressional subpoena that sought his personal emails in that case.
"What I'm saying to my Republican colleagues is, I don't care what deal you cut," said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a leader of the opposition to Perez. "How could you possibly agree to move forward on a nomination when the nominee refuses to comply with a congressional subpoena?"
Republicans voting to end the Perez filibuster were Sens. John McCain of Arizona, an architect of this week's deal, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Susan Collins of Maine, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Mark Kirk of Illinois and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
It was not clear when the Senate would vote on final confirmation of Perez's nomination, but it was expected soon.
Minutes earlier, senators voted 82-17 to approve Fred Hochberg to a second four-year term to head the Export-Import Bank, which provides financing for U.S. exporters.
"We have now started a new era, I hope, a new normal here in the Senate" of increased bipartisan cooperation, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., as the day began.
But a day after the agreement on nominations was announced and largely hailed by both parties, conservatives and other Republicans made their unhappiness with Perez -- and the overall deal -- clear.
"Why would you want somebody in the Cabinet thumbing their noses at the elected representatives of the people of this country," Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, one of the chamber's senior Republicans, said of Perez.
"It seems to me the implication is we're supposed to simply routinely rubber-stamp everyone," said Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa. "There can't be any objections ever, whatsoever. Well, that's not what the Constitution calls for."
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., said Perez and the Justice Department had responded to all "reasonable requests" from Congress for information and said, "He's a professional, he listens and tries to make the right judgment."
In exchange for cooperation on the nominations, majority Democrats have dropped a threat, for now, to change Senate rules to weaken minority Republicans' powers. They had been threatening to muscle through a rules change eliminating the need to get 60 votes to free a nomination for final approval.
The pact only addressed the seven initial nominees and left open the possibility that confrontations would emerge anew over future Obama nominations that could spark controversy, such as for federal judges or to head the Internal Revenue Service or Department of Homeland Security.
Votes on Gina McCarthy, Obama's choice to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, were also expected this week.
Also Wednesday, Richard Cordray was sworn in as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Senate confirmed him on Tuesday, the first of the seven stalled nominations to clear the chamber.
As part of the resulting agreement, Obama withdrew his nominations of two nominees to the National Labor Relations Board, Richard Griffin and Sharon Block, both opposed by the GOP.
In their places, Obama nominated Nancy Schiffer, a former top lawyer for the AFL-CIO, and Kent Hirozawa, counsel to NLRB Chairman Mark Pearce.
The seventh Obama appointment involved in the bipartisan deal is Pearce.

WINCHESTER, Va. — Despite scoring 28 combined runs in a doubleheader at Shenandoah on Tuesday, the Washington and Lee baseball team lost both ODAC contests. The Hornets (25-9, 13-7 ODAC) recorded a 28-14 victory in the opener, and then came from behind for a 15-14 walk-off win in the second game.
Shenandoah tallied 43 runs on 44 hits, seven home runs, 13 doubles and one triple in the doubleheader. The Generals (15-15, 8-9 ODAC) totaled 28 runs on 34 hits, nine home runs, four doubles and one triple. W&L committed eight errors in the two games, which led to seven unearned runs.
W&L held an 11-3 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning in the second game. After recording the first two outs, starter Nate Plein (El Cajon, Calif./St. Augustine) loaded the bases and junior Jake Rudolph (Cordova, Tenn./Memphis University School) came on in relief. Rudolph walked the first two batters he faced and hit the third to bring the score to 11-6.
Sophomore Cory Smith (Roanoke, Va./Hidden Valley) relieved Rudolph and gave up back-to-back singles to sophomores Corbin Lucas and Michael Paul, which cut the deficit to two (11-9). An error by senior shortstop Jonathan Stutts (Charlotte, N.C./Charlotte Country Day) allowed another run to come home, and junior Andrew Creamer tied the game, 11-11, on a single to right field.
Junior Keegan Dolan (Bethesda, Md./Landon) hit his fourth home run of the season in the seventh to give the Generals a one-run advantage, 12-11. The Hornets responded with three in the bottom of the inning on four doubles to take a 14-12 lead. Stutts evened the game (14-14) in the eighth with a two-run home run over the left field wall.
Shenandoah scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning thanks to some shaky defense by the Blue and White. With a runner on first, senior Nick Beall hit a ball to third baseman Mike Savas (Bernardsville, N.J./Delbarton). Savas' made an errant throw to second, and first-year John Wilt advanced to third. Right fielder Joe Scalzo (Ridgefield, Conn./Brunswick) missed his target getting the ball back into the infield and Wilt scored the winning run on the error.
Senior Eric Wisotsky (West Windsor, N.J./Plainsboro North) took the loss for the Generals, pitching 1.2 innings. He allowed one unearned run on two hits to fall to 2-5. First-year Cameron Lundmark (1-1) earned his first win of the season, throwing the final 2.2 innings for the Hornets.
Sophomore Kyle Witty (Richmond, Va./Douglas Freeman) led W&L with five RBI in the game. He went 3-for-5 with a double and a home run. Lucas and Paul each tallied three RBI for Shenandoah.
In the opener, Hornets scored 14 runs in the first four innings to take a 14-7 lead. The Blue and White responded with five combined runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh, but SU recorded a nine-run seventh to put the game away.
Sophomore Matt Hedberg (Charlotte, N.C./Myers Park) started the game, but could not get out of the fourth inning. He (0-4) suffered the loss, allowing 14 runs (10 earned) on 16 hits. Sophomore Matthew Wilson earned the victory in 1.2 innings of relief. He gave up four runs (three earned) on four hits.
Senior Alex Maragos (Chicago, Ill./Loyola Academy) hit two home runs, and scored four runs. Maragos also hit a home run in the second game and is now tied with Stutts for the team lead with seven. Stutts led W&L with three RBI on a bases-loaded double in the second. Sophomore J.J. McDaniel went 5-for-6 to lead Shenandoah. He had two home runs and seven RBI.
The Generals travel to Eastern Mennonite on Thursday for a 4:00 pm game.

Annunakii is a boss. I've gotten the pleasure to see Andrew's music evolve over the years. Earlier this summer we got to rage it at Lucidity and he totally caught my attention when he played out there. We got to hang out quite a bit and his take on everything right now was to go the 808 beats route. This Andreya Triana refix is just one of many products that has been delivered to me this summer after that conversation. There's a ton more where this came from. While the whole trap crazy is going on, I know I can always count on Annunakii putting out a clean solid track if looking something fresh.
Andrew is one of those super down to Earth guys and got me hooked on the term "weird". Now I have a sticker on my laptop that says "Get Wierd". We've gotten to spend a decent amount of time out at a bunch of festivals and can't wait to till everyone realizes what a boss he is. Annunakii's tracks are some of my secret weapons that always fill that 808 part of my sets. Keep an eye on this guy, he gets weird with it.

Officials have confirmed that three of the four men allegedly killed by former Briarcliff Manor police officer turned alleged drug conspirator Nicholas Tartaglione were shot in the head, according to results of an autopsy that was released by prosecutors.
This week, officials released autopsy results for the four men who were allegedly targeted and killed by Tartaglione in Orange County in April of 2015, who has been charged with quadruple homicide.
The fourth victim was reportedly killed by "homicidal violence of undetermined etiology."
Late last year, the 49-year-old Tartaglione was been charged in a five-count indictment for his participation in a drug conspiracy to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine and for the murders of four men, all of whom lived in Middletown in Orange County.
According to the indictment that was filed in White Plains Federal Court last year, Tartaglione killed Martin Luna, 41, Urbano Santiago, 32, Miguel Luna, 25, and Hector Gutierrez, 43, at the Likquid Lounge - a bar that his brother reportedly managed for a time in the town of Chester in Orange County - when a cocaine deal went badly involving at least one of the victims.Tartaglione
It is alleged that Tartaglione then drove with the bodies for approximately a half hour from the bar in Chester to his farm in Otisville, also in Orange. Four bodies would be removed from his property the day after he was arrested.
This isn't the first time the former Briarcliff Manor K9 Police Officer found himself in trouble with the law.
According to court papers, in 1999, Tartaglione was charged with perjury and official misconduct after testifying in court at a DMV license revocation hearing for a friend. Tartaglione was ultimately acquitted at trial, but fired by the village.
In 2003, he sued to get his job back and received more than $300,000 in back pay. He retired from the force in 2008 on disability with a reported annual pension of $65,000.
Tartaglione also had an ongoing legal battle with the late Clay Tiffany, an Ossining resident who hosted the popular public-access TV show, "Dirge For The Charlatans," sued the village of Briarcliff Manor multiple times, claiming that Tartaglione assaulted him.
The village ultimately settled the lawsuit with Tiffany in 2000 for more than $1 million.
Tartaglione had reportedly worked as a police officer in Pawling, Mount Vernon and Yonkers prior to Briarcliff Manor.

DARTMOUTH — Most residents probably don't know that less than two percent of the town's 22,953 registered voters get to make the great majority of Dartmouth's financial decisions, approve all the zoning bylaws and special permit regulations, and authorize community undertakings like the creation of new parks and the construction of new schools.
The responsibility for most of those important community actions lies in the hands of a mere 390 Town Meeting members, elected by their neighbors for varying terms of service as representatives to the legislative body that makes virtually all the big decisions for the growing town of more than 34,000 residents.
This spring, nearly 100 new Town Meeting members will be elected for three-year terms in the April 2 annual town election — an average of 10 members from each of the town's nine voting precincts, according to Dartmouth Town Clerk Lynn Medeiros.
A grass-roots group of Town Meeting members seeking to "re-energize" Dartmouth's legislative body by helping to recruit some civic-minded residents to run for those open seats made a special appeal to potential candidates for election at Monday night's Select Board meeting.
Town Meeting member David Tatelbaum, also a member of the Finance Committee, told selectmen that many long-time Town Meeting members "retired" when the precincts were reorganized last year, apparently preferring not to go out and collect signatures needed to seek re-election.
So many replacements are needed, the group decided to mount a campaign "to inform people (of the need), to get involved, join Town Meeting, and come out and vote," Mr. Tatelbaum said. Posters, letters to newspapers, and personal contacts are all being employed to help get the message out, he indicated.
Candidates need only get 20 signatures from registered voters in their precinct certified to run for the open seats in April, Mr. Tatelbaum noted. Nomination papers are available in the Town Clerk's Office until Feb. 8, and must be returned for certification by Feb. 12.
More and more veteran members are choosing not to run again, leaving the door open for some new residents to step into these key roles as citizen legislators for the town, Ms. Medeiros said last week in her Town Hall office.
"Last year, every Town Meeting member had to run (for re-election) due to re-districting," Ms. Medeiros said. This year virtually all the open seats are for three-year terms, with only a few unexpired two-year terms to be filled.
"On average, there are 10 or more openings for each precinct; a few are below 10 seats," Ms. Medeiros estimated Friday.
Precinct 2, covering an area including the Faunce Corner Road, Hixville Road, and Cross Road neighborhoods, is the exception — that precinct needs two volunteers to seek election for two-year vacancies caused by recent resignations of a pair of Town Meeting members, the Town Clerk indicated.
Of course, that's not counting the ever-problematic Precinct 3, re-drawn to fit the confines of the UMass Dartmouth campus in the last redistricting effort resulting from the 2010 federal census figures. That precinct needs 43 Town Meeting members to represent it.
Precinct 3 will likely not get more than a few write-in candidates for the positions, veteran political observers suggest, as resident students who are voters typically ignore local affairs and vote only in presidential elections.
In recent years, residents in that precinct "always complained they were under-represented," Ms. Medeiros noted, never having more than 18 Town Meeting members willing to run for office to represent them. Moving residents of streets surrounding the campus to other precincts will allow them better representation in the future, she said.
Each elected Town Meeting member gets a hard copy of the Secretary of State's "Citizens Guide to Town Meeting" which explains the responsibilities of Town Meeting members, how the Town Moderator conducts the two or three meetings held each year, and general rules for the meeting, the Town Clerk said.
Residents wanting more information on what the job of serving as a Town Meeting member entails are encouraged to stop by her office for a hard copy of the guide, or review it online at the Secretary of State's website.
Mr. Tatelbaum said Monday that the time commitment is not great, as Dartmouth typically holds only two or three Town Meetings each year. Advance copies of articles appearing on the warrant are mailed to members before each meeting to bring them up to date on the issues to be addressed at that session, he noted.
Current Town Meeting members have also volunteered to mentor newcomers, either helping them collect signatures on nomination papers, or explaining how Town Meeting works, he added.
Mr. Tatelbaum suggested that the important role that Town Meeting members play in the life of the community requires that informed, involved citizens step up to run for the available seats.
"It's a worthy cause," he noted, and "it's amazing what you can impact" in terms of municipal spending, policy-making, and bylaws governing governing all aspects of community life.
Even while the Select Board is considering options for future changes in town government, Selectman Michael Watson said, "Town Meeting is the body that is going to have to make those changes" and he applauds the grass-roots effort to strengthen that legislative body.
While potential changes are under discussion "for the long haul," Select Board Chair Lara Stone noted, strengthening the current Town Meeting body is important, she said.
Selectman Joseph Michaud also applauded the citizen-sponsored initiative, but suggested "good service" as a Town Meeting member requires a little more than "one or two days a year" of effort.
Mr. Tatelbaum agreed, noting prospective members need to read newspapers, watch DCTV broadcasts of town government meetings, and stay informed to serve effectively if elected.

The One-Week Pre-earnings Momentum Trade With Options in Facebook Inc
Facebook Inc (NSDQ:FB) : The One-Week Pre-earnings Momentum Trade With Options
Date Published: 2018-09-17
DisclaimerThe results here are provided for general informational purposes, as a convenience to the readers. The materials are not a substitute for obtaining professional advice from a qualified person, firm or corporation.
PrefaceThere is a bullish momentum pattern in Facebook Inc (NSDQ:FB) stock 7 calendar days before earnings, and we can capture that phenomenon explicitly by looking at returns in the option market. The strategy won't work forever, and in fact, it hasn't even won more often than it has lost. But since the winning trades are so much larger than the losing trades, it has returned 87.3% even with a win rate that isn't above 50%.
This same strategy also worked in the throes of the bear market from 2007-2008, and we discuss those results near the finale of this article.
LOGICThe logic behind the test is easy to understand -- in a bull market there can be a stock rise ahead of earnings on optimism, or upward momentum, that sets in the one-week before an earnings date. Now we can see it in Facebook Inc.
The Bullish Option Trade Before Earnings in Facebook IncWe will examine the outcome of getting long a weekly call option in Facebook Inc 7-days before earnings (using calendar days) and selling the call before the earnings announcement.
Here's the set-up in great clarity; again, note that the trade closes before earnings, so this trade does not make a bet on the earnings result.
RISK MANAGEMENTWe can add another layer of risk management to the back-test by instituting and 40% stop loss and a 40% limit gain. Here is that setting:
In English, at the close of each trading day we check to see if the long option is either up or down 40% relative to the open price. If it was, the trade was closed.
RESULTSHere are the results over the last three-years in Facebook Inc:
|FB: Long 40 Delta Call
|% Wins:
|Wins: 6
|Losses: 6
|% Return:
Tap Here to See the Back-test
The mechanics of the TradeMachine® are that it uses end of day prices for every back-test entry and exit (every trigger).
Track this trade idea. Get alerted for ticker `FB` 7 days before earnings
We see a 87.3% return, testing this over the last 12 earnings dates in Facebook Inc. That's a total of just 84 days (7-days for each earnings date, over 12 earnings dates). This has been the results of following the trend of bullish sentiment into earnings while avoiding the actual earnings result.
We can also see that this strategy hasn't been a winner all the time, rather it has won 6 times and lost 6 times, for a 50% win-rate and again, that 87.3% return in less than six-full months of trading.
Setting ExpectationsWhile this strategy had an overall return of 87.3%, the trade details keep us in bounds with expectations:
➡ The average percent return per trade was 9.09%.

Is This Just Because Of a Bull Market?
It's a fair question to ask if these returns are simply a reflection of a bull market rather than a successful strategy. It turns out that this phenomenon of pre-earnings optimism also worked very well during 2007-2008, when the S&P 500 collapsed into the "Great Recession."
The average return for this strategy, by stock, using the Nasdaq 100 and Dow 30 as the study group, saw a 45.3% return over those 2-years. And, of course, these are just 8 trades per stock, each lasting 7 days.
* Yes. We are empirical.
* Yes, you are better than the rest now that you know this.
* Yes, you are powerful for it.
Back-testing More Time Periods in Facebook Inc
Now we can look at just the last year as well:
|FB: Long 40 Delta Call
|% Wins:
|Wins: 3
|Losses: 1
|% Return:
Tap Here to See the Back-test
We're now looking at 140.7% returns, on 3 winning trades and 1 losing trades.
➡ The average percent return over the last year per trade was 30.32%.
WHAT HAPPENEDBullish momentum and sentiment ahead of earnings has been, empirically, a repeating pattern both in a bull and bear market for some companies. This is just one example of what has become a tradable phenomenon in Facebook Inc.
Please note that the executions and other statistics in this article are hypothetical, and do not reflect the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as liquidity and slippage.

Chris Hartjes has posted a review of one of the many PHP books that Packt Publishing has to offer - "CakePHP Application Development".
A few weeks ago I was approached by Pakt Publishing and asked if I was interested in reviewing the recent CakePHP book 'CakePHP Application Development' by Ahsanul Bari and Anupom Syam. [...] Naturally, several books about the framework have been published in the past few months, and I can't think of a better book to recommend to people interested in learning the framework than this one.
He looks at some of "The Good" (like the sample applications and examples the book provides) and some of "The Bad" where it falls a bit short (like the lack of good server config information and no mention of the built-in testing functionality) to the obvious "Ugly" - that CakePHP, like any other framework out there, is a constantly moving target that's hard to pin down in a book that takes months to write and print.

I guess the title kind of gives away the story. But let me paint the picture.
I got stood up for a date a few weeks ago. Actually, I got canceled on at the last minute which, in the book of Janelle, is the same thing as being stood up. This in spite of an evening revolving around tickets to the Wizards vs. the Bulls which, so far as I thought, a guy wouldn't bail on. He might find a way to weasel out of a post-game dinner or sexless hang-out time, but seems like the ball action would've kept him reeled in until at least the second half. Unless it was a blowout.
But he proved me wrong and now I know, so I won't be walking around thinking I'm all better-than-being-stood-up-for-professional-sporting-events and whatnot.
Hello rejection, old friend. We meet again. I like what you've done with your hair.
The night wasn't a total loss. Far from it, in fact. My best friend—my eternal date—showed up in his stead and we had ourselves a good ol' time. Sure, I plucked and waxed and shaved and fluffed and stuffed and polished in preparation and went out into the wintry cold when I could've been home with my Hello Kitty comforter watching a Law & Order marathon (because isn't there allllways a Law & Marathon on?)
But it was disappointingly not the positive experience and open-hearted welcome I needed in order to walk confidently back into the world of unattached singledom. Especially since I'm still nursing hurt feelings from the breakup heard around the world. Or, at least, the stretch of 95 that used to connect where the ex lives in Delaware and I live in D.C., and now separates us.
That, in case you're keeping a tally, is two kicks to the curb in the matter of a few months. That's two more than a fragile gal like me is equipped to handle right now.
At some point, I imagine I'll sweep my little bits of pride into a pile and reconstruct another attempt to walk boldly back into the dating world. But I'm not ready. There, I admitted it. To myself and to y'all. I'm not ready, to put myself out there to be not good enough to go to a basketball game with or face the potential of another ridiculous mishap. And I'm not going to time myself either.
If the best way to get over one dude is to get hooked up with another one, that dude will be Elliott Stabler. He's one of the good ones.
Following a gut-wrenching breakup, how long should you wait before you start dating again?

Photographer's Note
This photo I took of a building under construction in my neighborhood. At the point of the photo we are equivalent to the height of the 8th floor.
The name of this neighborhood is Santana. In one of these houses I lived all my life. It is a very pleasant and pleasant neighborhood, because it is older it does not have the sumptuous houses that we found in the other neighborhoods. What we see in the photo is only a small part of the neighborhood, about 3 blocks away, but it has dozens of blocks.

Inspired by the original 7-Eleven team, the first professional American cycling team to compete in the Tour de France (in 1986), we're going to look back at road components in the Performance Bicycle catalog of the late 1980s (1987, to be precise). Organized by Jim Ochowicz, and with a fun-loving group of riders including Alex Stieda, Eric Heiden, Bob Roll, Ron Kiefel, Chris Carmichael and Davis Phinney, the 7-Eleven team laid the groundwork for the growth and success of American professional cycling. But, as you can see in the following video, they had a bit of a roller coaster ride in their very first Tour:
So with the 7-Eleven team in mind, we thought we'd delve into our archives to share a few pages from our Summer 1987 catalog, to see what kind of components you could get after you were inspired to ride by watching America's first pro team in France:
But before you got your components, you first had to get a kit that looked the part. We had you covered with our own pro-inspired gear featuring the top teams of the day (like 1986 Tour winner Greg Lemond's La Vie Claire team):
But we're here to talk parts, so let's get started with cranksets. In 1987 you had many manufacturers to choose from, including Suntour, Sugino, Campagnolo and Shimano, all with elegant cold-forged style crankarms. Of note was the Sugino crankset, which featured a carbon-fiber reinforced outer chainring:
As we move on to brake levers and brakes, you'll find no integrated shift/brake lever setups, as road bikes were still using downtube-mounted levers to handle the shifting duties. But you could choose from brakesets made by Shimano, Campagnolo and Modolo, an Italian brand whose brakesets had a definite sense of panache (or maybe we're just suckers for black):
When it came time to complete your component setup with a rear derailleur, your options were manifold, as evidenced by our offerings from Suntour, Sugino, Mavic, Campagnolo, Shimano and Huret. Of note here was the increasing prevalence of indexed shifting systems (where one click of the shifter meant one gear shift), instead of the old-style friction shifting (where you had to listen for the chain as it shifted gears). Also interesting is the (at the time) "worlds lightest derailleur", the Huret Jubilee, item K below. At 146 grams, it would still be lighter than SRAM Red or Campy Carbon Record!
After all this focus on components, though, we couldn't resist sharing a few pages of the road bikes we had on offer in 1987. Hailing from our own Performance brand of bikes, we had the Corsa frameset, featuring lugged aluminum tubing. Available with an array of custom build kits, the Corsa was a true race-ready steed:
But if your taste was for a bike with European flair, we had you covered there as well, with beautiful bikes from Eddy Merckx, De Rosa and Pinarello. In case you're wondering, the lovely paint job on the Pinarello is called "Spumoni" after the tasty Italian dessert:
We hope you enjoyed our quick trip back in time to check out road components from our catalog during the time of the 7-Eleven team. It's always fun for us to look back at where we came from as we work to bring you the best cycling value and selection in the present day!

Perfecting Their Pitch
Participants of the Turner School's Brave Pitch pose after the competition, which has students pitching their innovative business ideas in three minutes or less.
By Frank Radosevich II
April 12, 2013
Twelve Bradley students stepped up to the plate and pitched their innovative business ideas Wednesday at the University's second Brave Pitch competition, where entrepreneurial students have three minutes to impress a panel of judges with their new business, product or service.
The contest, sponsored by the Turner School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, has students developing new startups or breakthrough products while receiving constructive feedback and professional experience. To win, the entrepreneurs must persuade the judges that their idea can and should be turned into a reality.
"It's a time for students to showcase their talents and it's great exposure to the world of entrepreneurship," said Ryan Miller, a junior mechanical engineering major and president of Bradley's Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization. "It's a resume builder and networking opportunity that can really benefit students."
Miller said the event can be intimidating but incredibly effective at refining and strengthening new ideas. The ideas don't have to be fully formed, he said, just enticing to prospective investors and artfully delivered.
Competitors are given three minutes to outline a problem or market opportunity and propose their business solution along with the plan's impact and feasibility. Participants are also judged on their presentation style.
This semester's event saw six graduate and six undergraduate students vying for cash prizes awarded to the top three finishers in both the graduate and undergraduate competitions.
For the graduate students, the winners were Ellen Keenan, first place, for an ice cooler that serves as a chair; Richard Weers, second, for low-limit credit cards; and John Seeli, third, for a more efficient heat exchanger. For the undergraduate students, the winners were Ivan Gonzalez-Gimenez, first, for an Indian marble import business; Jacob Vizcarra, second, for a music publishing business; and Aaron Griffin, third, for a cellphone case with solar panels.
Ken Klotz, managing director for the Turner School, said the competition is open to all Bradley students, and this year's Brave Pitch saw several students from the Caterpillar College of Engineering and Technology and the Slane College of Communications and Fine Arts.
He said that being concise and confident is often the hardest part for most students. "It's hard to put everything in their heads into a three-minute pitch. Brave Pitch obliges students to organize, condense and revise their business plans until they are perfect," he said.
Klotz added that the Turner School aims to host a Brave Pitch event each semester to better support entrepreneurial talent at Bradley.

The Neosho City Council on Tuesday gave the city the nod to move forward with inspections leading up to the demolition of the Combs House.
The house, purchased by the city in February 1999 for $118,000 from Bud Combs, is located at 521 N. Wood Street, in Morse Park.
The two-story house, built in 1890, has fallen into disrepair, and city manager Troy Royer said most of the home's pieces of value have been looted.
"We've had a couple people that were interested but didn't say for sure that they were willing to purchase this and the house is in bad disrepair," Royer said. "We just are left with the choice of surplusing it and trying to sell it, or demolishing it and leaving it as a city park or part of Morse Park there on the north end, or putting something else over there."
Councilman David Ruth, who also served on the council at the time the city purchased the house, said the city acquired the property as part of a buy-out of homes located within the floodplain.
"I can tell you that it was never the intent of the city council at that time, or the city administration, that anyone ever occupy that house because it is in a floodplain," Ruth said.
He said the buy-out was funded by a cooperative agreement involving organizations such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the State Emergency Management Agency.
"Part of those agreements, for us to get those multi-million dollars to buy out the floodplain, was that no one could ever be allowed to live back in the floodplain," Ruth said.
Councilman Tom Workman, who was a city public works employee at the time of the purchase, said he could remember the city putting a new roof on the house to protect its interior.
The house now sits with broken out, boarded up windows, and has been barricaded off by fence put up by the city.
Last fall, a fire burned a hole through the second-story floor of the house.
Royer said he has looked into grants to fix the structure, and has met with the historical society and state representatives, though all grant options would leave the city picking up most of the costs.
"Due to the looting of anything of historic value out there it's hard to get any grants that would not leave the majority of the burden of payment on the city," Royer said.
Mayor pro tem Steve Hart noted the house's proximity to the Morse Park walking trail and the nearby park area, and said he is concerned with the safety hazards the rundown structure poses.
"I do buy and sell things and I can tell you this, I wouldn't give you anything for that house because of where it's at and the condition it's in," Hart said. "I make a motion to tear down the house and get rid of it before the city runs into any liability problems with it being there. I'd like to see it done as fast as we could."
Council was given the option of voting to surplus the house and property, or to proceed with the hazardous materials inspection and demolition of the structure, which they agreed to move forward on.
The estimated cost for hazardous materials inspections and the demolition, based on the city's previous demolition projects of the First Baptist Church formerly located on the corner of Jefferson and Main Streets, and the old Frye and Gray building, formerly located at Lafayette and E. Spring St., would come to approximately $7,650, according to information in the council packet. That estimate does not include the price of removing any hazardous materials found during the inspection process.

While the Titans continue to sort out the condition of their starting quarterback, they're looking ahead for a new backup.
According to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports, the Titans will work out David Carr tomorrow.
The Titans were carrying just two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, although Rusty Smith was hanging around on the practice squad.
Carr, who made a seamless transition from No. 1 overall pick to journeyman backup, would provide more experience behind interim starter Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Titans made an aggressive financial decision to swap out Matt Hasselbeck for Fitzpatrick this offseason, so going with another seasoned reserve is consistent with their other moves.

Unified Communications Virtualization Supported Applications
VM-Specific SocialMiner Hardware Requirements
See Unified Computing System Hardware.
Before you install the SocialMiner software in any server, you must address the following requirements:
- No other Cisco product can be installed on the same VM running SocialMiner.
- The VM disk allocation time depends on your VM environment. If you have created several VMs on the host server, your disk allocation takes a longer time. If you have not created any VM in your host server, your disk allocation takes a shorter time. During the course of testing in various environments at Cisco Systems, disk allocation has taken anywhere from 2 minutes to 2 hours for a 34 GB data space. Depending on your space requirement, be sure to make this empty space available for all SocialMiner deployments
- If you are performing a fresh install of SocialMiner in any deployment, be sure to verify that the virtual machine is also fresh (no previously-installed OS is present in the VM).
SocialMiner-Specific Details for VMware Requirements
All SocialMiner servers run on VMs using the Unified Communications Operating System (Unified OS or UCOS).
See Unified Communications VMWare Requirements and Ongoing Virtualization Operations and Maintenance.
- SocialMiner ISO or DVD
- ESXi 4.0 or ESXi 4.1 must be installed prior to the SocialMiner installation. ESXi 4.1 requires a configuration.
- Cisco UCS Hardware - UCS C210-M2, SKU: UCS-C210M2-VCD2
Configuring ESXi 4.1
To ensure normal networking performace, configure the installed ESXi 4.1 host as follows:
- Use vSphere Client to log in to the ESXi host or its vCenter.
- Select host --> Configuration --> Advanced Settings.
- Select Net and scroll down slightly more than half way.
- Set the following parameters from 1 to 0:
- Net.VmxnetSwLROSL
- Net.Vmxnet3SwLRO *Net.Vmxnet3HwLRO
- Net.Vmxnet2SwLRO
- Net.Vmxnet2HwLRO
Reboot the ESXi host to activate these changes.
VM-Specific SocialMiner Software Requirements
See Unified Communications VMWare Requirements.
The following software requirements apply specifically to SocialMiner:
- SocialMiner can only be deployed on servers using VMware ESXi 4.0 or ESXi 4.1.
- The downloadable OVF Templates has the hardware configuration for the SocialMiner VM's. This is the only configuration supported. Please use the SocialMiner OVF Appliance to install SocialMiner.

Deep Sea Decor: It's a Whale of a Tale
It used to be that ocean-inspired kids decor involved some fairly cliched ideas: way too many seashells, goofy grinning fish, and nautical stripes everywhere. These days we have so many more options - from pirates to mermaids to octopi. One trend that's rising to the top: whales.
You can find whales in all kinds of formats, from more serious prints for your living room, to kooky whale-shaped pillows. But there are lots of modern whales out there just waiting to update your nursery. Here are a few of my favorites:
Top Row:
- Whale Melamine Plate from Peanut and Pip
- Organic Cotton Whale Pillow from Cecil Clyde
- Whale Pod Storage Bath Scoop from Amazon
- Time the Dark Whale Print from Lou Lou and Tummie
- Whale Tissue Holder from Sparkly Pony
Botton Row:
- Sterling Silver Whale Baby Bracelet from Amazon
- Wood Whale Pencil Holder from The Utility Collective

Amazing and brilliant architecture design idea! This ultra modern tower called "Meier on Rothschild" is a wonderful project that is a mixed-use suburban, retail and office facility which can be found in the city of Tel Aviv, Israel planned by famous American architect named Richard Meier. I am very interesting with this tower because it's have great and strong structure. The fundamental building considerations which is the innovative shape the tower schemes are using the high-quality of light interacting through the plan, its stunning views to the ocean, and its relationships with the existing fabric of Rothschild boulevard.
The Meier on Rothschild tower foundation will contain a modern lobby, retail space and comfortable lounge with spa on the second floor. In the meantime, a small open plaza in front of the tower will let consumers to simply access the shaded area of the Rothschild Boulevard. The creative retail arrangement is planned to regenerate the vitality missing from its unusual construction design. The passage will have prominent entrances which serves both Allenby and Yavne Street. The Yavne street entrance design will also accommodate the entrance to the five thousand square meter office structure above. This great mixture of the tower and lower commercial building design will give to the continuing economic growth of Tel Aviv city. We get some pictures gallery about tower facade and other element shown on this pictures gallery:

There is an update to this post that shows a simpler and more maintainable approach to the installation.
Installing Ubuntu on a Mac tends to be a little trickier than installing on a PC as Macs use EFI instead of BIOS. Now, with the introduction of Apple's Retina Macbook Pro screens we have an additional complication. However, Canonical and the Ubuntu community have been investing some time in getting the Retina Macbooks to play nice with Ubuntu 13.04, so I decided to get the latest, bleeding edge version. The great thing is that there has been an effort to keep the trunk version stable, so I've that getting the pre-release version of Ubuntu 13.04 to be a great solution.
If you search the Internet for information about running Ubuntu on the Retina Macbook Pro, you'll find tales of issues with the screen resolution (running at 2880x1880 with tiny icons and text), and driver issues with WiFi and sound. Well, I'm pleased to say, that Ubuntu 13.04 (with the 3.8.0-6 kernel) resolves these issues. There are some extra steps to take during the installation process, but these are related to EFI rather than Ubuntu itself. This guide is a walkthrough of the steps that I took to partition Macbook Pro hard drive and to install a dual-boot system: Mac OS X 10.8 and Ubuntu 13.04 (pre-release).
Partition the Hard DriveThis step is nice and easy on the Mac. Just launch Disk Utility, click on the laptop's hard drive and click on the Partition tab. From there the Mac OS X partition can be resized. Disk Utility allows you to create a new partition with the extra space, but I just left it as Free Space, so that it would be created by the Ubuntu installer.
Create the Ubuntu USB InstallerThe latest stable release of Ubuntu is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/download, but I wanted pre-release version, which is at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/. You'll need the 64-bit Mac (AMD64) desktop image.
Instructions for creating a bootable USB stick are provided http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx, you'll just need to remember to use the latest ISO that was downloaded above.
Install an EFI Boot Manager: RefindPreviously, I've used Refit as a boot manager and boot loader for Ubuntu on a Mac, but that doesn't seem to be maintained any more. So, for the Retina Macbook Pro I've switched to Refind, which is just a Boot Manager. We'll then be loading Ubuntu using EFI instead of Grub, which means we can leave the old world of BIOS behind. See the Refind website for more information about boot managers and loaders, EFI and Grub.
Download the binary Refind zip file from http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html and unzip it by double-clicking the file in the Mac OS X Finder. You'll want to check out the Refind installation instructions, but I chose the simplest option of installing Refind in the Mac OS X partition. There are other possibilities, but this seemed the easiest for me to manage - especially if something went wrong.
The installation needs to be done in the Terminal, by running the install.sh script:
cd ~/Downloads/refind-bin-0.6.7
The script will prompt for your password so it can run with administrator privileges using sudo. Once the script has run, Refind is installed and you can see the configuration files at /EFI/refind.
You'll need to reboot a couple of times before you can see the Refind menu appearing. We'll need to configure Refind later.
Installing UbuntuThe main challenge I hit during the installation process is that we need to copy the Ubuntu kernel file and RAM disk image over to the Mac OS X partition. However, though you can see the Mac OS X partition from Ubuntu, it is read-only. So, we'll need a method of copying the files over once Ubuntu has been installed.
One method is to upload the files to another server when you are booted into Ubuntu - which means that you need a network connection running. On the Retina Macbook Pro, there is no built-in Ethernet, so you're only option is to use WiFi. However, when booted off the USB stick the Macbook's WiFi does not work without extra drivers. So the option is to use an external WiFi card that does work from the installer (I used an Edimax EW-7811UN Nano Adapter), use an external USB drive, or an Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter (untested). However, given that Ubuntu 13.04 is still in development, you may find that WiFi works for you when you boot from the USB stick.
Connect your bootable USB drive into the Macbook Pro and reboot - you should see the USB stick as an option in the Refind boot menu, so boot from that. In the Ubuntu installer, select the Try Ubuntu option and it will take you to the Ubuntu desktop at a resolution of 2880x1800 - you may need a magnifying glass handy to read the text. That said, it does look beautiful!
By default, Ubuntu has 'touch to click' enabled for the trackpad by default, which I found difficult work with. So the first thing I did was to turn that off in the Mouse and Trackpad area of System Settings. Next, it's work changing the screen resolution to something more usable - I selected 1680x1050 (16:10). After that, if you are using WiFi, then you'll need to connect to the network.
Install UbuntuYou're now ready to install Ubuntu. We want to do this without installing the Grub boot-loader, which would put us back into the old-world BIOS mode. To install without Grub, run the following in a terminal:
This will launch the installer and you can follow the instructions to install Ubuntu on the free space that we created earlier, alongside Mac OS X. At the end of the installation, make sure that you choose the option to Continue to try Ubuntu, as there is some more work to do here.
ubiquity -b
Copy the Kernel and RAM Disk Image FilesThe next step is to copy the kernel file and the RAM disk image to your external server or flash drive. The files that you need are in /boot and will be called something like vmlinuz-3.8.0-6-generic and initrd.img-3.8.0-6-generic. If you have your Internet connection working, the simplest option is to upload the files to Ubuntu One, DropBox or Google Drive.
Make a Note of the UUIDYou'll need to know the UUID of the partition that you have just installed Ubuntu on. You can see this in the Nautilus File Manager window when you select the Ubuntu partition (in the title bar). Or, you can see it by running:
sudo blkid /dev/sda5
You'll need to replace sda5 with the partition that you used. The UUID will be a long list of characters like 27c9a93d-6cc8-2395-9a97-d105353e5c07 - we'll need this for the Refind configuration file.
Once you are done, you can reboot into Mac OS X. You'll notice that the Ubuntu partition is not showing up in Refind as yet - that's what we need to fix next.
Configure RefindWe need to configure Refind so that it sees that Ubuntu partition and has all the correct details so it can boot from it. The Refind configuration is in /EFI, which will need root access to be able to update the details. I found that TextWrangler is a great option for editing config file as it allows you to authenticate to update the files. Make sure that you download TextWrangler from the Barebones site as the version in the Apple App Store does not have this facility.
Copy the Kernel and RAM Disk Image FilesThe first step is to create a new folder in the EFI config area that will hold the Ubuntu kernel and disk image: /EFI/ubuntu. You'll need to copy the Ubuntu kernel and RAM disk image files into the new folder from the server or flash drive that you used earlier.
Configuration File ChangesIt's worth checking the Refind site for more details about the configuration file changes, as there are a lot more options than I will cover. The main configuration file is /EFI/refind/refind.conf. We need to set up a configuration section for Ubuntu, so edit the file and add the following section:
Note that there is a menuentry Linux section already in the file, and I have just edited that section. Some of the key points to note:
1: menuentry Linux {
2: icon EFI/refind/icons/os_ubuntu.icns
3: volume 5:
4: loader EFI/ubuntu/vmlinuz-3.8.0-6-generic
5: initrd EFI/ubuntu/initrd.img-3.8.0-6-generic
6: options "ro root=UUID=27c9a93d-6cc8-2395-9a97-d105353e5c07"
7: #disabled
8: }
- Line 2: the icon that will be displayed on the boot manager screen. In this case, I'm using the Ubuntu logo instead of Tux.
- Line 3: you can find the volume by running diskutil list.
- Lines 4-5: the paths to the kernel and RAM disk image.
- Line 6: the UUID of the Ubuntu partition that you made a note of earlier.
- Line 7: make sure that you comment out or remove the disabled line, otherwise it will not show up in the boot menu.
banner /EFI/MilkyWay.png
Reboot Into UbuntuOnce you reboot you should see the Ubuntu icon in the Refind boot menu, and it should start up. When it does, you'll see Ubuntu in its 2880x1800 pixel glory. So once you changed the resolution to a reasonable setting, you should find Ubuntu running beautifully:
- The WiFi adapter works out of the box.
- The sound card works.
- The web cam works.
In fact, I've been using Ubuntu on the Retina Macbook Pro as my main work machine for a week now and I've not found anything that does not work.

Symptom Checker
Step 4: Read and complete the decision guide to learn more about your symptoms.
Shoulder Pain
Based on your answers, some of the most likely causes of your shoulder pain are
a viral infection (as with the severe aches and pains during the flu),
rheumatoid arthritis or a related condition (especially if there is joint swelling)
Tendonitis, bursitis, or a muscle strain are possible, but would not explain pain in your other joints.
Over-the-counter pain medicines, rest and ice may be helpful, but if symptoms persist, it is important that you see a physician to evaluate these symptoms.
