Cowboys and Theology
You know, when you are a True Blue, Die Hard Cowboy Fan, most of the people around you just don't seem to get it. Those folks may support their own team, or they may even be a nominal supporter of the Cowboys, but they think your love for the team is so fanatical that it borders on being some type of mental disorder.
I have been a Cowboy fan for 35 years. I picked the Boys as my team when I was around 5 years old. Admittedly, I didn't know much about football at the time but something about the Cowboys grabbed my attention. This is made all the more interesting by the fact that no one in my family really cared about football. I got into watching the Cowboys, and being an only child, I got my way on Sundays and was able to turn the dial to the Cowboys game.
So, I really don't know why I became a Cowboy fan here in my home state so far away. We didn't have the Panthers then. The only way I can explain my love for the Cowboys is by good old Calvinistic theology. I think I was predestined to be a Cowboy fan. You know – many are called, but few are chosen. I guess I am blessed to be one of the elect. If you're not one of the chosen, you just won't get it.
It was so exciting to watch them play and win. It was devastating to see them lose. I can't tell you how many times I cried over a Cowboy loss as a small child. My father would look at me, shake his head, and remind me that it was only a game, but to me it seemed like so much more than that.
Over the years, as the family watched one Dallas game after another, I began to notice my father getting into it more and more. He was pretty calm during Superbowl XII when we beat the Broncos. He was reserved during Superbowl XIII when we lost a close one to the Steelers. Me? I cried of course. But as the years went on, his interest in each game seemed to grow until in 1992, we watched Superbowl XXVII together. The Boys were awesome as they destroyed the Bills that day. The outcome was really never in doubt. I was tearing the house down in excitement. There were great moments during that game when I looked over at my dad and, I swear to you, I could see a tear or two gleaming in his eyes. I knew at that point – he gets it.
My dad saw the Cowboys repeat in 1993 as the Cowboys once again beat the Bills in Superbowl XXVIII. In May of 1994, he left us due to a heart attack. I still miss watching the games with him.
I think it was D.D. Lewis who first said that they left a hole in the roof of Texas Stadium so God could look down and watch His team play football. That statement by Lewis puts a thought in my head. I know you never met my dad but see if you can picture this scene with me…….
It's a Sunday afternoon, and my dad's up there in heaven looking down through that hole in Texas Stadium. He's got a comfortable chair, he's wearing a jersey with number 81 on it, and there's a bowl of fresh buttered popcorn beside him. To the other side of the popcorn, there's another person watching the game as well – but you can't make out who it is just yet. The Cowboys are doing well this day and they just score another touchdown. A vaguely familiar voice says to my dad, "I'm glad we had our popcorn ready." Dad smiles and turns his head toward the unknown man with the familiar voice. For the first time I catch a glimpse of Dad's companion. He's wearing a smartly tailored suit with a fedora on his head to top off the look.
As dad faces his friend he says, "You know Tom, I think they're about to do it again."
Now, if you're not a die hard fan, you might think that's a crazy idea I have. It's ok if you don't get it. It's a Cowboy thing. Only the elect will understand. The Cowboy fans who are among the chosen, agree with D.D. Lewis – there is football in heaven, and the heavenly fans are all decked out in blue and silver – with one exception. There's always that one guy watching the game in his smartly tailored suit and fedora. Most of the time he looks quite stoic, but every now and then, if you look close, you will see just the slightest grin….

Politician All For Transparency Until It Might Make Him Look Bad In A Campaign Commercial
from the hello-streisand dept
Steinberg spokesman, Rhys Williams justified the disruption of CalChannel service this way: 'It was inappropriate to provide legislative resources to promote the ballot measure campaigns of either side, and in particular to make those public-funded resources easily available for exploitation in political TV commercials.'"In other words, because the public debate on these issues might lead others to make campaign commercials, it should not be transparent or shared at all.
The committee's own chairperson, Lois Wolk, was apparently horrified that the video was cut off, noting that "she had begun the hearing with a statement expressing hope that it would help voters reach a reasoned decision on the four measures." Oops.
Steinberg, to his credit has now apologized and admitted that: "It wasn't a good reason... When you mess up, you mess up. I'm sorry and it won't happen again." At least he recognizes that, but the initial move was still pretty blatant and raises significant questions about his motivations in cutting off this most basic form of governmental transparency.

In honor of Thursday night's NBA draft, The Associated Press takes a look at the best and worst all-time picks for each of the league's 30 franchises.
The starting point for this exercise was 1966, when the territorial pick system went away and the draft began to look more like it does today. We're judging picks not on how sensible they seemed at the time, but on how much they ended up being worth to the selecting team – taking into account where each pick was in the draft and who else was available.
When it came to trades, we tried to use common sense, crediting whichever team was actually making the selection.
Best Value: Doc Rivers, No. 31 pick, 1983. Plenty of teams passed on Rivers, who was part of a draft that also included talented point guards Derek Harper and Darrell Walker. Rivers played eight solid seasons in Atlanta.
Worst Value: DerMarr Johnson, No. 6, 2000. The second Cincinnati product to go in the top six that year behind No. 1 pick Kenyon Martin, Johnson played two seasons with Atlanta before breaking his neck in a car crash. After missing the entire 2002-03 season, he was able to play again in the NBA – but his career with the Hawks was over.
Best Value: Larry Bird, No. 6, 1978. Red Auerbach drafted Bird in the first round even though it would be another year before the Indiana State star became a professional. Worth the wait, to say the least.
Worst Value: Chauncey Billups, No. 3, 1997. The most tragic pick for the Celtics was Len Bias, whose death shortly after the 1986 draft transcended the game, but in terms of mismanagement, Boston's handling of the third pick in '97 probably still stings a bit. Billups was a perfectly reasonable pick, but he had not even played a full season before the Celtics traded the future Finals MVP for Kenny Anderson.
Best Value: Buck Williams, No. 3, 1981. Williams is still the franchise's career scoring leader thanks to an impressive eight-year run in New Jersey.
Worst Value: Dennis Hopson, No. 3, 1987. The No. 3 pick wasn't as kind a few years later. Hopson played only five seasons in the NBA, three with the Nets.
Best Value: Emeka Okafor, No. 2, 2004. This young franchise has never picked No. 1 overall. Okafor gave Charlotte five solid seasons before being traded to New Orleans.
Worst Value: Adam Morrison, No. 3, 2006. Morrison averaged 11.8 points as a rookie, but a knee injury cost him the whole 2007-08 season and he was traded in 2009.
Best Value: Michael Jordan, No. 3, 1984. No surprise here – and we'll have plenty more on the `84 draft a little later.
Worst Value: Jay Williams, No. 2, 2002. The Bulls were already running in place a bit after drafting Marcus Fizer in 2000 and Eddy Curry in 2001. Williams, the charismatic point guard from Duke, played only one season in the NBA before a career-ending motorcycle accident.
Best Value: LeBron James, No. 1, 2003. The Cavs won the NBA draft lottery, parlaying that good fortune into the selection of James, who single-handedly resurrected a flopping franchise. James led the Cavs on their most successful run – five straight playoff appearances and a Finals trip in 2007. Obviously, this story took a dramatic, disappointing turn for Cleveland, but his seven years there will never be forgotten.
Worst Value: Dajuan Wagner, No. 6, 2002. One year before taking James, the Cavs went out on a limb and took the 19-year-old Wagner. It broke. He had a solid rookie season (13.4 ppg) but couldn't stay healthy and was released after three years.
Best Value: Dirk Nowitzki, No. 9, 1998. Milwaukee technically drafted Nowitzki, but that was part of a prearranged deal with Dallas. It was viewed as a risk because of the possibility Nowitzki might stay in Europe for a couple years, but he came to Dallas for that first season and quickly emerged as a star for the Mavs.
Worst Value: Bill Garnett, No. 4, 1982. Garnett averaged only 5.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in four seasons – two with Dallas and two with Indiana. The first three picks in `82 were James Worthy, Terry Cummings and Dominique Wilkins.
Best Value: Carmelo Anthony, No. 3, 2003. The Nuggets had eight straight losing seasons before Anthony came on board. They went 43-39 in his first season, with Anthony averaging 21 points as a rookie. Denver made the playoffs seven straight seasons with Anthony leading the team before he was traded to the New York Knicks in a blockbuster 2011 deal.
Worst Value: Nikoloz Tskitishvili, No. 5, 2002. The 7-footer from the Republic of Georgia never blossomed in Denver. He averaged 3.2 points in three seasons with the Nuggets and was traded to Golden State in 2005.
Best Value: Joe Dumars, No. 18, 1985. In a draft heavy on big men, the Pistons were able to land Dumars late in the first round, and he would team up with Isiah Thomas to form a championship-winning backcourt. In 1986, the Pistons came up with another steal when they took Dennis Rodman in the second round, but Dumars played with Detroit his entire career and is now the team's president.
Worst Value: Darko Milicic, No. 2, 2003. Milicic was the man picked between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. The Pistons won the NBA title in 2004 – but this choice still haunts them.
Best Value: Chris Mullin, No. 7, 1985. Included in Mullin's terrific run with the Warriors was a five-year stretch in which he averaged at least 25 points every season.
Worst Value: Joe Smith, No. 1, 1995. Smith had a perfectly decent career, playing over 1,000 games in the pros, but he was with the Warriors for less than three seasons, and it was clear pretty early that he wasn't the type of franchise player you'd hope to draft at No. 1. Chris Washburn, who Golden State picked at No. 3 in 1986, played even fewer games for the Warriors, but that was a disappointing draft in general. Smith was taken ahead of Rasheed Wallace and Kevin Garnett.
Best Value: Hakeem Olajuwon, No. 1, 1984. Olajuwon's career was so transcendent that the Rockets have drawn little criticism for passing on Michael Jordan. An honorable mention goes to Calvin Murphy, a second-round pick by the Rockets in 1970.
Worst Value: Lee Johnson, No. 17, 1979. Johnson did not play in the NBA at all in the 1979-80 season. He appeared in 10 games for the Rockets the following season, scoring 17 points – and that was pretty much that.
Best Value: Reggie Miller, No. 11, 1987. The selection of Miller – over the objections of Pacers fans who wanted Indiana to take hometown favorite Steve Alford – changed the direction of the franchise. Miller turned the fans' draft-night boos into cheers by helping the Pacers become perennial contenders from the mid-1990s until his retirement in 2005.
Worst Value: Rick Robey, No. 3, 1978. Larry Bird was eligible for this draft, but the Pacers decided not to wait a year for the Indiana native, who was headed back to college for his senior season. Bird was taken by Boston at No. 6. The Pacers actually had the top pick, but traded down to No. 3 to acquire Johnny Davis. Davis played fine for Indiana. Robey played only half a season for the Pacers – although he later won a title alongside Bird in Boston.
Best Value: Blake Griffin, No. 1, 2009. Let's be honest: There's not a lot of competition for this honor. Griffin missed the whole 2009-10 season because of a broken kneecap, but he's now one of several reasons this downtrodden franchise is finally enjoying some buzz. Danny Manning put up good numbers for the Clippers after they took him with the top pick in 1988, but the team remained largely irrelevant.
Worst Value: Michael Olowokandi, No. 1, 1998. Olowokandi was picked ahead of Mike Bibby, Antawn Jamison, Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce. Ouch.
Best Value: Kobe Bryant, No. 13, 1996. Charlotte drafted Bryant but immediately announced that his rights would be traded. He ended up in Los Angeles in exchange for Vlade Divac. Details have always been sketchy, but years later, Bill Branch – a scout for the Hornets in `96 – told the Winston-Salem Journal that the deal was already in place, and the Lakers had told Charlotte whom to pick. If you don't want to count Bryant as a Los Angeles pick, Magic Johnson at No. 1 in 1979 worked out OK, too.
Worst Value: Kenny Carr, No. 6, 1977. The Lakers haven't had too many significant whiffs. Carr averaged 11.6 points per game in his NBA career but spent just over two seasons with the Lakers. He was taken one spot ahead of Bernard King.
Best Value: Pau Gasol, No. 3, 2001. Atlanta took the 7-footer from Spain, but the Hawks were picking for the Grizzlies as part of a trade. Gasol's impact was immediate, and he may have been the best player taken in that draft.
Worst Value: Steve Francis, No. 2, 1999. Francis made little attempt to hide his displeasure when picked by the Grizzlies, who played in Vancouver back then. He was traded to Houston before his rookie season, and the team would spend only two more seasons in Canada before moving to Memphis. In 2009, the Grizzlies took Hasheem Thabeet at No. 2. He struggled so much he was assigned to the D-League during his rookie season.
Best Value: Dwyane Wade, No. 5, 2003. The Heat, of course, now have three of the top five picks from 2003 in their starting lineup, but before teaming up with LeBron James and Chris Bosh, Wade led Miami to its first NBA title in 2006.
Worst Value: Harold Miner, No. 12, 1992. A college star at Southern California, Miner was one of a handful of young, athletic players who at one point or another drew comparisons to Michael Jordan. He did follow Jordan's footsteps in one respect – by winning multiple titles in the dunk contest.
Best Value: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, No. 1, 1969. This was back when the league would determine the top pick with a coin flip. The Bucks got to draft Abdul-Jabbar despite winning 11 more games than the Phoenix Suns in 1968-69.
Worst Value: Joe Alexander, No. 8, 2008. Alexander never started a game for the Bucks, and Milwaukee eventually traded him and his expiring contract to Chicago in 2010.
Best Value: Kevin Garnett, No. 5, 1995. Drafting players straight from high school wasn't common in 1995, when the Timberwolves took the skinny Garnett out of Chicago's Farragut Academy. All he did was become the best player in franchise history and one of the best power forwards in league history.
Worst Value: Jonny Flynn, No. 6, 2009. Flynn was chosen right after the Wolves took another point guard, Ricky Rubio, as part of then-president David Kahn's ill-fated scheme to have the two play in the backcourt together like Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars did in Detroit. Then Kahn hired a coach, Kurt Rambis, who employed a system that did not suit Flynn's ball-dominant style of play, and the league quickly overwhelmed him. Oh, and the Wolves passed on Stephen Curry to take him.
Best Value: Chris Paul, No. 4, 2005. Paul was taken between Deron Williams and Raymond Felton – a nice little run of excellent college point guards. Paul is the shortest of the three, but his game translated just fine to the pros, and he spent six terrific seasons with New Orleans.
Worst Value: J.R. Reid, No. 5, 1989. This was a rough year for highly touted big men – Reid, Stacey King and Pervis Ellison never developed into NBA stars.
Best Value: Patrick Ewing, No. 1, 1985. There's a reason the Knicks were so thrilled when they won the first draft lottery for the right to take Ewing. New York was a 24-win team the previous season and desperately needed a franchise player to build around.
Worst Value: Frederic Weis, No. 15, 1999. Let's get one thing straight: There's no shame in being dunked on by Vince Carter. The bigger problem for New York was that Weis didn't play a game for the Knicks. They held onto the Frenchman's draft rights all the way until 2008, when they swapped them for … Patrick Ewing Jr.
Best Value: Gary Payton, No. 2, 1990. Kevin Durant might eventually hold this title, but Payton still stands out, especially since other teams struggled to find impact players in the draft that year.
Worst Value: Mouhamed Sene, No. 10, 2006. Sene scored exactly 100 points in 46 games for the Seattle-Oklahoma City franchise.
Best Value: Dwight Howard, No. 1, 2004. This is where longevity factors in. Were Howard's eight seasons in Orlando more valuable than Shaquille O'Neal's four? Howard is first on Orlando's career scoring list. Shaq is fourth.
Worst Value: Fran Vazquez, No. 11, 2005. Vazquez surprised the Magic by staying in Europe, leaving Orlando with nothing to show for that first-round pick. Danny Granger was taken six spots later.
Best Value: Maurice Cheeks, No. 36, 1978. Talk about a diamond in the rough – Cheeks gave Philadelphia a decade of solid point guard play, and the team won an NBA title in 1983. Charles Barkley (No. 5 in 1984) could have been the pick here, but he played only half his career in Philly.
Worst Value: Marvin Barnes, No. 2, 1974. Barnes signed with the Spirits of St. Louis of the ABA and never played for the 76ers. Jamaal Wilkes was among the players available when Philadelphia picked Barnes.
Best Value: Amare Stoudemire, No. 9, 2002. Stoudemire won rookie of the year honors to begin a fine eight-year run in Phoenix. The Suns also drafted Steve Nash at No. 15 in 1996, although his best seasons in Phoenix were during his second stint there, which came about via free agency.
Worst Value: William Bedford, No. 6, 1986. Bedford averaged 6.7 points as a rookie in his only season with the Suns.
Best Value: Clyde Drexler, No. 14, 1983. In addition to Drexler, the Blazers also nabbed Terry Porter late in the first round in 1985 and Jerome Kersey with the 46th overall pick in 1984.
Worst Value: Sam Bowie, No. 2, 1984. Not even Kersey could make up for the fact that Portland infamously passed up Michael Jordan in `84. Bowie could never stay healthy enough to live up to his potential, and the Blazers have been re-living that misfortune recently with Greg Oden. Portland also took LaRue Martin over Bob McAdoo with the top pick in 1972.
Best Value: Peja Stojakovic, No. 14, 1996. In a testament to how deep that `96 draft was, the Kings ended up with a quality player one spot after Kobe Bryant was taken.
Worst Value: Joe Kleine, No. 6, 1985. The pick itself wasn't as bad as the opportunity cost. Chris Mullin went next, followed by Detlef Schrempf and Charles Oakley. Karl Malone was picked at No. 13.
Best Value: Tim Duncan, No. 1, 1997. Duncan has been nothing less than one of the best No. 1 draft choices in any sport. Of course, the Spurs were able to build around him by adding Manu Ginobili late in the second round in 1999 and Tony Parker late in the first in 2001.
Worst Value: Alfredrick Hughes, No. 14, 1985. Hughes played only one season in the NBA, averaging 5.2 points per game.
Best Value: Chris Bosh, No. 4, 2003. Bosh, Toronto's career leader in scoring and rebounding, gets the nod for a franchise that has won only one playoff series.
Worst Value: Aleksandar Radojevic, No. 12, 1999. The 7-foot-3 Radojevic played all of three games for the Raptors. He was limited by back problems, and they traded him to Denver in 2001.
Best Value: John Stockton, No. 16, 1984, and Karl Malone, No. 13, 1985. These two seemed joined at the hip during their playing days, so why not keep them together? What Utah pulled off with a pair of mid-first round picks was remarkable.
Worst Value: Kris Humphries, No. 14, 2004. Picked before Al Jefferson and Josh Smith, Humphries played a couple nondescript seasons in Utah before the Jazz traded him to Toronto for Rafael Araujo – another first-round pick who hadn't panned out. Humphries has produced more for the Nets in recent years, but that doesn't do Utah much good.
Best Value: Wes Unseld, No. 2, 1968. Unseld pulled off a rare double by winning rookie of the year and MVP honors in 1968-69. He later helped Washington to the 1978 championship.
Worst Value: Kwame Brown, No. 1, 2001. A missed opportunity. Taken ahead of Tyson Chandler, Pau Gasol and Joe Johnson, Brown has posted a double-figure scoring average only once in his career.

Law Enforcement Officials Freak Out About Possibility Of Having To Get Warrants To Read Your Email
from the bill-delayed dept
The delay comes two days after a phalanx of law enforcement organizations objected to the legislation, asking Leahy to "reconsider acting" on it "until a more comprehensive review of its impact on law enforcement investigations is conducted." The groups included the National District Attorneys' Association and the National Sheriffs' Association.Of course it would have "adverse impact" on criminal investigations. So do lots of things -- but those are the rules law enforcement plays by in a free society. It's not built to make law enforcement's life easy.
[....] A person participating in Capitol Hill meetings on this topic told CNET that Justice Department officials have been expressing their displeasure about requiring search warrants. The department is on record as opposing such a requirement: James Baker, the associate deputy attorney general, has publicly warned that requiring a warrant to obtain stored e-mail could have an "adverse impact" on criminal investigations.
Either way, it appears that this bit of ECPA reform will get pushed off once again. Hopefully, when it comes back, it won't be watered down.
For what it's worth, both the EFF and the ACLU -- who strongly support ECPA reform similar to what Leahy has been proposing -- have also not been that happy with how Leahy introduced this bill, because they both oppose the changes to the VPPA, which they're afraid will weaken privacy for people. This is a (somewhat rare, but not unprecedented) situation where I disagree with both of those organizations. The VPPA was a specific and broad carve-out to deal with a single situation (bork bork bork). I think it's reasonable to update it to allow for things like letting people choose to let Netflix and social networks share info on what movies they've watched -- just like the can choose to show what music they listen to. I don't necessarily believe that it makes sense to link the VPPA to ECPA reform, but I don't think that passing the VPPA reform is so problematic that it should stop ECPA reform. Of course, if law enforcement has its way (and so far, that seems to be the case), ECPA reform might never happen. Is it really worth worrying about how you can choose to share your Netflix movies on Facebook while the Justice Department feels it can snoop broadly through your Gmail?

The Athlete of 1890: a study
I have been exploring the world of late 19th century athletes, focusing on swimmers, cyclists and runners.
I want to imagine what it would be like to time-travel from 1890 to today and compete in a modern Ironman using the equipment and methods of a sportsman of the Victorian Era.
In order to achieve this goal, I have been studying up on the habits and achievements of our athletic forefathers.
I picked 1890 primarily because it represents the last year of the Highwheel bicycle otherwise known as the Ordinary bicycle as opposed to the now extremely familiar Safety bicycle.

Brazilian stylist Matilda Azevado shows us how to brighten up black this spring.
Matilda breaks up her all black look, with leopard print mocassins and brilliant use of accessories.
Mocassins are huge this season, and instead of opting for a plain colour, why not take inspiration from Matilda and go for a plain colour with a touch of print, such as leopard or snakeskin? And don't forget you can add a splash of colour with bright red lipstick, or nail varnish.

BRUNSWICK, Maine – Both MIT swimming and diving squads ventured north to Bowdoin College today for a dual meet against the host Polar Bears and NEWMAC foe Babson College. The trip proved to be a successful one as both of the Engineers' teams picked up a pair of wins. The men's squad came away with 222-76 win over Bowdoin and a 235-53 victory over Babson. On the women's side MIT came away with a 212-87 decision over Bowdoin and a 244-48 win over Babson.
MIT was dominant on the men's side, winning 15 of the 16 events. Sophomore Michael Liao (Newport Beach, Calif.) won a pair of events for the Engineers, sweeping both breaststrokes. In the 100 he bested the field with a 57.59, an NCAA 'B' cut, and a 2:07.89 in the 200. Joining Liao as a double winner was junior Wyatt Ubellacker (Georgetown, Ky.). He achieved NCAA 'B' cuts in both of his victories, taking the 50 Free in 20.88 and the 100 Fly in 49.99.
Freshman Ben Bauchwitz (Hershey, Pa.) had a solid afternoon, winning the 200 Free in 1:44.41 and finishing fourth in the 100 Free. Sophomore Colby Dunn (Weston, Mass.) won that 100 Free race in 46.33 and also anchored the victorious 400 Medley and 400 Free relays.
On the women's side sophomore Katelyn Rossick (Middletown, Md.) had a big afternoon, winning three individual events to lead both of the Engineers' teams. She took home the wins in the 200 Fly with an effort of 2:14.27, the 200 Back in 2:11.33 and the 200 IM, touching home in 2:12.75. Junior Anna Kokensparger (Omaha, Neb.) won a pair of events for MIT, claiming the 200 Free in 1:55.14, and in the 100 Fly in 58.13. She was also a member of the 400 Medley and the 400 Free relays, both of which were victorious for the Engineers.
Freshman Eann Tuan (Richardson, Texas) just missed an NCAA 'B' cut in the 100 Back, turning in a 58.99 on the leadoff leg of the 400 Medley relay that was just a half second from the qualifying mark. She also took home the win in the individual 100 Back event, stopping the clock with a 59.36. She then made it an individual double by winning the 100 Free in 54.76
Both teams will be back in action after the Thanksgiving break on Dec. 2-3 when the Engineers host the MIT Winter Invitational.

The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if theyre a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Birdsong brings relief
to my longing
I'm just as ecstatic as they are,
but with nothing to say!
Please universal soul, practice some song or something
through me!

Yesterday, I made sugar cookies for the last day of Hanukkah party I helped Benjie host. I made two different recipes, one was (I think) the recipe from the back of the Domino's sugar bag, and is a regular sugar cookie recipe, which used only white granulated sugar. The other one I have saved from Gourmet magazine, and it is a brown sugar cookie recipe. The first one can be rolled and shaped and cut out and decorated. The other can be scooped, and is more like a chocolate chip cookie dough recipe without the chocolate chips. I decorated with sprinkles and blue icing. Many people like to use royal icing for decorating cookies, but with everything else going on for the party (we made latkes, too) I didn't want to make royal icing. However, I will include the recipe just in case you want it for your sugar cookies. The royal icing is from A Field Guide To Cookies, which is written by another food blogger; her site is called Dessert First.
So, here are the recipes, in order they were mentioned:
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup sugar or 1- 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
Heat oven to 375º. Sift together the dry ingredients; set aside. Cream together butter and vanilla. Add either 3/4 cup sugar or 1-1/2 cups for chewy cookies. Beat in the egg. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator. Lightly grease cookie sheet. Roll out and cut to desired shapes. You can add sprinkles right into the dough, and/or you can add sprinkles to the top of the cookies. The colder the dough, the easier it is to handle. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool on rack. Makes 1-1/2 dozen large cookies.
(Almond) Brown sugar cookies (from Gourmet magazine)
1-1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
(1/2 cup whole blanched almonds = 2-1/2 oz)
Whisk together dry ingredients. Beat butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add in egg and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture. (Stir in almonds) Roll into logs and chill or freeze dough or scoop onto baking sheets. If you rolled the dough into logs, you will slice the dough less than 1/8 inch thick. If you scooped them, use the back of a wet spoon or wet the palm of your hand, and press down. Bake cookies 12-15 minutes. Cool on racks. Makes 100 to 120 sliced cookies. I think I made about 12-18 3 inch scooped cookies.
Royal Icing
2 egg whites
1 Tbs. lemon juice
3 cups powdered sugar
food coloring
Whisk all ingredients except for the coloring in a clean bowl on high speed. They should be shiny and an opaque white. It should be a glue-like consistency. Divide into bowls and mix in the coloring as desired. Keep covered with a damp towel so it does not dry out.
So, those are the recipes for sugar cookies and royal icing for decorating. I really liked the brown sugar cookies, and I think that was everyone's favorite as well.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! (though I am sure I'll bake something else before New Year's.)

I originally wanted a Tacoma. They didn't have a Toyota truck available but this turned out to be a great price. Great service and very helpful.
Excellent selection at this car lot and fair prices. I read a lot of reviews with my wife and we will shop with them again.
Thank you Brian for your help. We have been very pleased with the vehicle and appreciate the advice you gave us. We will see you again next year when our son needs his first car.
I appreciate your patient understanding help. I was recommended to buy my next car from your dealership and you all were a pleasant surprise. Working with each of your departments went very smoothly and I have been very happy with my purchase. Thank you again for your recent help with getting me your discount on some work I needed done and new tires for the winter.
Closest price was a scam in Illinios. Thank you for your help with getting me a car.
Thank you for helping me find a car in my budget. I have been very pleased with this vehicle. It was a nice option because I could not buy the more expensive ones.
This was by far the nicest one around for the price. We purchased this vehicle 3 months ago and will be dealing with the carking again. Excellent people to work and lowest prices.
I texted Car King to find out information about 2 bmws they had. Brian responded back each time and was very helpful including information and pictures. He was easy to deal with and I am very happy with my vehicle and the price.
Thank you Brian for your patience and help with our vehicle. We are very pleased with it and have told our mechanic, friends and of course family about you. Thank you for helping my dad with his tire pressure too;)
Ill be sending friends and family to this dealership. Thank you all again.

Funcom is promoting some kind of AR game around The Secret World, an ambitious concept for sure, and strikes me as a gamble which probably would not have been taken had the game met performance expectations. Of course, providing any actual details on what they plan to do would spoil it, but my mind goes to the 2001 game Majestic. So presumably they'll start by revealing that all those reports of poor subscriber numbers were actually a giant conspiracy. Interestingly, no active TSW subscription is required to sign up for the AR game, which cements it in my mind as less of a value-add than an advertisement.
EA Bioware has of course been laying on the spam fairly thick recently to promote The Old Republic's new "not worth paying for" tier of access. I guess if it helps the game it's probably a good thing. The good bits in that game; art design, atmosphere, many storylines, space battles, interesting combat mechanics, a solo game which doesn't bend over backwards to ensure the player is never ever challenged, are well worth saving. Also, they have true blue actual Australian servers located in Australia. -sigh- I would be so all over that shit if I didn't already play WoW.
It's a bit funny to think back on all that speculation that every MMO released in the past two years might "kill" WoW. Yeah. Those was some good times.
Eight years. WoW has been running for eight god damn years. Video games have only really been a thing for around forty years. MMOs have only really been a thing for around fifteen years.
What I find interesting to think about is how historically significant World of Warcraft will be, no matter how long it runs past this point… and ten million players is a hell of a lot of momentum.

You might not know it from this morning's press clippings, but there were two unity speeches last night. Sen. Hillary Clinton's valedictory is front page and above the fold on every newspaper in America. Buried at the end of the lead stories, after noting the forgettable keynote address of former Virginia Governor Mark Warner, you might find a mention of Sen. Bob Casey's address to the assembled Democrats, a speech that for many of us was even more overdue than Clinton's.
Sen. Casey was aware of the historical import of the moment and he began his speech with these words: "I am honored to stand before you tonight as Gov. Casey's son…"
In 1992, the Senator's father was the Governor of Pennsylvania, the fifth largest state in the Union. He was a lifelong pro-life Democrat, one of the few who did not flip their position after Roe v. Wade. (Curiously, one of the other pro-life Democrats who did not abandon her defense of pre-natal life was Connecticut Governor Ella Grasso, the first woman elected governor of a state in her own right.) Gov. Casey wanted to address the convention on the issue of abortion. He was barred from the podium.
Some of the 1992 campaign officials have tried to re-write the history of that first class snub. Last night on CNN, former Clinton aide Paul Begala denied that abortion was the reason Gov. Casey was barred from speaking. He noted that Casey had not endorsed the ticket and "wanted to speak about abortion for thirty minutes" and "no one" wanted that. Well, Mr. Begala, many of us pro-life Democrats did want that. (Would twenty minutes have been okay?) We certainly did not want to see the most noted spokesman of our cause denied even the right to speak. Nor did we want to belong to a party that applied such a litmus test. The governor of a state you need to win can talk about whatever he or she wants when they address a national convention.
For many pro-life Democrats, the appearance of Gov. Casey's son at the podium last night was the important unity speech. The pro-choice litmus test had been set aside. No one deleted Sen. Casey's reference to abortion in his speech, nor his acknowledgement of an "honest disagreement" with this year's nominee, Barack Obama, on that issue.
When you drive along route I-81 and enter the Scranton area in northeast Pennsylvania, the skyline is dominated not by skyscrapers but by steeples. Scranton and Wilkes-Barre are home to some of the nation's most beautiful ethnic churches. In the state's southwest corner, you find small hamlets like New Baltimore, a village dominated by a Catholic retreat center. There are eight bishoprics in this one state. Last night, the Democratic Party welcomed pro-life Democrats back into its fold.
Sen. Clinton's speech was everything the Obama campaign could have hoped for. She was fulsome in her endorsement of Obama and withering in her criticism of John McCain. She spoke directly to her supporters' motives and tried to re-direct them, asking, "Were you in this campaign just for me? Or were you in it for that young marine and others like him? Were you in it for that mom struggling with cancer while raising her kids? Were you in it for that boy and his mom surviving on the minimum wage?" If anyone who supported Clinton and listened to her last night still refuses to support Obama, they are, in the felicitous phrase of MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, "post-rational."
The two speeches not only helped unite the party. They shared another, specific link. In the primaries, Clinton trounced Obama among Catholics. In Pennsylvania, she took 70% of the Catholic vote. Sen. Casey had endorsed Obama before the primary, demonstrating the limits of surrogacy. But, last night, both speeches made a case for Barack Obama in addition to giving their personal seal of approval. That case was directed squarely at white, ethnic Catholics in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana who have not yet signed on to the Obama campaign. Clinton and Casey have set the stage. Tonight, Scranton native Joe Biden, and tomorrow night, Obama himself, must take the stage and find a way to reach those Catholic swing voters.

The High Scores list is a feature you don't see in many modern games. Therefore, I think it's a good enhancement in Duke Nukem.
Duke Nukem: Weapon of Mass Destruction is a gameplay mod for Duke Nukem 3D. It has tons of new weapon modes, enemies, and player abilities, such as UT style dodge moves, spinning hook kicks, and a Duke bot companion who fights by your side. In DNWMD, Duke collects glowing coins from slain enemies which are used to purchase various upgrades via a mouse controlled menu. In addition, each of Duke's weapons has its own experience level which increases with use. DNWMD is an action packed shooter with RPG elements. I worked hard on this for almost a year, and while I've made other mods in that time, this one is still the most fun by far. If you haven't played Duke Nukem 3D in a while, don't miss this. It runs using the included EDuke32 source port, which has improved graphics and other features, and runs smoothly in XP. The only file you need from your Duke 3D installation is "duke3d.grp" -- everything else is included with the DNWMD download. Once you have followed...
The High Scores list is a feature you don't see in many modern games. Therefore, I think it's a good enhancement in Duke Nukem.

On January 23, 2013, we upgraded the leading coffee maker, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (GMCR) to Outperform backed by the company's efficient measures and strategic agreements to drive out competition following the expiry of the K-cup patents. The company has also rolled out new products to turnaround its business.
Why the Upgrade?
Green Mountain is expected to make a strong start with its first quarter 2013 results, scheduled to report on Feb 6, considering its upbeat fourth quarter 2012 results, initiatives to rule out competition, new product roll outs, and better visibility for fiscal 2013.
Green Mountain has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and an Earnings ESP (Read: Zacks Earnings ESP: A Better Method) of +3.1%. This is very meaningful and a leading indicator of a likely positive earnings surprise in the coming quarter.
In addition, the company is optimistic about fiscal 2013, as the company raised its earnings outlook for the fiscal 2013 to a range of $2.64 to $2.74, up from the prior expectation of $2.55 to $2.65. The sales estimates for fiscal 2013 were raised by 88.6% from the previous guidance to $4.5 billion.
Following the release of fourth quarter results, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013 grew 7.2% to $2.68 per share over the last 90 days.
What is the cause for the strong positive bias on the company?
The fourth quarter earnings upswing prompted us to be optimistic on the stock. The company reported strong fourth quarter 2012 earnings of 64 cents, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 36.0%. Revenues increased 33.0% from the year-ago period to $946.7 million, reflecting the success of Keurig Single Cup Brewers, single serve packs (K-cups), and Keurig-related accessories.
The company is focusing on its products and putting in efforts to turnaround its business. Apart from rolling out new products, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is upgrading its Keurig brewing system, by introducing a new Keurig Vue V1200 Brewer, designed with RFID (radio frequency identification) technology allowing users to have control over the strength, size and temperature of their beverages.
The company has also launched affordable Keurig brewer models in order to reach out to more consumers. Green Mountain is very active toward adding value to its brands and we believe that this value addition will spur revenue growth momentum in future.
Further, Green Mountain has managed to appeal consumers even after its patents for the K-cups expired in September 2013. Green Mountain's owned and partnered brands are priced at the same level as that of its aggressive competitor Mondelez Int.'s (MDLZ) unlicensed Maxwell House and Gevalia single-serve coffee pods compatible with Keurig brewing systems, thus ruling out competition. But Green Mountain still holds an upper hand as it offers more coffee bag count per box, compared with Kraft's brands.
Moreover, we expect Green Mountain's market share to remain intact as the private label K-cups from companies like Treehouse Foods and Maxwell House and Gevalia brands of Kraft Foods which are sold at retail outlets like Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT) do not seem to have a positive customer feedback.
Green Mountain is also focusing on competing with private label as it has entered into an agreement with Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST) under which it will make private-label Costco Kirkl and Signature brand K-Cup packs for the Keurig single-cup brewing system.

BlackBerry CEO Miffed With T-Mobile
Feb 19, 2014 3:47 PM PT
John Chen, BlackBerry's new chief executive, lashed out at T-Mobile after it sent an email to BlackBerry users imploring them to ditch their current devices and switch to an iPhone.
BlackBerry was not notified about T-Mobile's email blast beforehand, causing Chen to become "outraged" over what he dubbed a "clearly inappropriate and ill-conceived marketing promotion."
Many a BlackBerry user subsequently asked if T-Mobile was halting its sale and support of BlackBerry. These questions prompted T-Mobile CEO John Legere to tweet, "BlackBerry users, I'm hearing you loud and clear. Let me work with the team and get back with you."
He later tweeted that T-Mobile was indeed continuing its BlackBerry service. T-Mobile followed that with an announcement that it would be offering expedited shipping of BlackBerry devices.

Assange Upset That NSA Spied on WikiLeaks
Julian Assange, the editor-in-chief and spokesperson for secret-spilling website WikiLeaks, has called on the White House to investigate what he claims was illegal National Security Agency spying.
Good luck with that.
WikiLeaks recently released U.S. government documents asserting that the NSA -- along with its British surveillance brethren, the GCHQ -- tracked people with links to WikiLeaks.
Assange's response, published on the WikiLeaks website, reads as one might expect (the NSA's actions were "reckless and illegal" and that sort of thing). However, Assange took his rhetoric a step further, calling on the White House "to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the extent of the NSA's criminal activity against the media, including WikiLeaks... ."
Assange has taken up residence in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he is hanging out to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted on allegations of sexual offenses.
China Clarifies Qualcomm Beef
China's anti-monopoly regulators on Wednesday said that U.S. chip giant Qualcomm was suspected of overcharging and abusing its market position.
If found in breach of Chinese law, Qualcomm could be hit with fines of more than US$1 billion.
News broke that China was targeting Qualcomm last November; a few weeks later, authorities told state media that they had the goods on Qualcomm. Alas, nobody ever bothered telling Qualcomm what, exactly, it was in trouble for.
China upped its investigation (and public ridicule) of Qualcomm just as the country was rolling out 4G capability. Qualcomm, it so happens, is a leader in 4G technology, giving rise to theories that Beijing is trying either to bolster its leverage with Qualcomm or to prop up domestic suppliers.

NZ Court: Kim Dotcom Raid Legal
A New Zealand court ruled that police acted legally in their raid of the mansion belonging to Kim Dotcom, founder of the now-defunct file-sharing site Megaupload and its successor, Mega.
The decision overturned a previous ruling that found the January 2012 raid was unlawful because the warrants were bunk.
U.S. authorities, who claim that Megaupload netted nearly $200 million and cost copyright owners north of $500 million, have long been trying to extradite Dotcom to the U.S. to face a plethora of copyright-related criminal allegations.

Philippines Clarifies 2012 Internet Law
The Philippines Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that online surveillance is illegal without a court order, and that online libel is a criminal offense.
The decisions were doled out in response to petitions of a 2012 cybersecurity law that some had complained was unconstitutional. The law will remain mostly intact, however, save provisions that allow for real-time collection of online data and shuttering a website without due process.
Some people, including the left-leaning New Patriotic Alliance and various journalist groups, are irked that the libel-equals-criminal-offense section was upheld; they fear that such a rule will be used to stymie free speech. The max penalty for libel is 12 years in prison or a fine of about $4,400.

High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the wealth or Ormus and of Ind,
Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
Showers on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
To that bad eminence; and, from despair
Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
Vain war with Heaven; and, by success untaught,
His proud imaginations thus displayed:--
"Powers and Dominions, Deities of Heaven!--
For, since no deep within her gulf can hold
Immortal vigour, though oppressed and fallen,
I give not Heaven for lost: from this descent
Celestial Virtues rising will appear
More glorious and more dread than from no fall,
And trust themselves to fear no second fate!--
Me though just right, and the fixed laws of Heaven,
Did first create your leader--next, free choice
With what besides in council or in fight
Hath been achieved of merit--yet this loss,
Thus far at least recovered, hath much more
Established in a safe, unenvied throne,
Yielded with full consent.
I dedicate this book to the Sudanese people. May it stand as a record of an ancient culture soon to be extinguished by the march of civilization.

Save Files Being Lost on PS4 Due to Error
Hundreds of gamers are experiencing a critical PlayStation 4 error which has been found to corrupt save data. And for some, this error inhibits the use of the system's applications and games. An online forum on the official PlayStation website shows that many systems are becoming the victims to this game-breaking error.
According to IGN, Error CE-34878-0 has been occurring with the following games: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Battlefield 4, NBA 2K14 and FIFA 14. This error has been corrupting individual saves, which makes the affected files useless, resulting in the player's progress in the game to be completely gone. While online/multiplayer data tends to be saved to the servers and online accounts of the games themselves, single player data is at the highest risk. Considering the amount of time it takes to finish these titles, this is a huge loss for gamers who encounter this error.
Some users have reported that this error has also resulted in them being no longer able to access not only their game files, but their PS4's games or apps as well. As of yet, there is no definitive solution to this problem. Deleting the files which encounter this error has alleviated the problems for some, but did nothing for others. We suggest that the best course of action would be to wait until Sony releases some form of official patch in order to fix this error and perhaps salvage their corrupted save data. We also suggest to players that they should make multiple copies of their saves in different locations, such as having numerous save files or saving them to a Cloud service or flash drive.

"The Expendables 2" may have knocked out the competition at the box office this weekend, but it didn't pack as much of a punch as Hollywood was expecting.
The sequel featuring a gang of muscular action stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis opened with $28.8 million, according to an estimate from distributor Lionsgate. That was enough to handily beat the weekend's other debuts, including the 3-D animated "ParaNorman," which launched with a so-so $14 million. "Sparkle," the inexpensive musical that is Whitney Houston's last film, started off with a respectable $12 million, while the children's movie "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" collected a moderate $10.9 million over the weekend.
While "The Expendables 2" may have claimed the No. 1 position, it failed to meet industry projections that had the movie taking in about $40 million during its opening weekend. The film's disappointing start also falls short of the original's $34.8 million debut in 2010 -- and Lionsgate spent more for the sequel. The studio paid producer Avi Lerner's Millennium Films just under $20 million for rights to distribute the original film in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, but paid $35 million for the same rights to the second movie.
The good news for Lionsgate is that those who saw the film this weekend enjoyed the movie. Opening weekend crowds assigned it an average grade of A-, according to market research firm CinemaScore, indicating strong word of mouth could help the film reach the $103.1 million domestic gross of the original movie. The audience who saw the sequel this weekend was 63% male, and 65% of the crowd was over the age of 25 -- a slightly older demographic than the original attracted despite the addition of 22-year-old Liam Hemsworth to the new movie's cast.
With few high-profile movie releases slated for the remainder of August, the other three films that hit theaters this weekend will also be banking on strong ticket sales in the weeks to come. Like "The Expendables 2," moviegoers loved "Sparkle," giving it an average A grade -- and "Timothy Green" earned an A-. "ParaNorman" -- which received the strongest critical reviews of any of the four new films -- was given a CinemaScore of B+.
"ParaNorman," about a boy who is able to communicate with the dead, is the second stop-motion movie made by Oregon's Laika Entertainment. The animation house's first production,"Coraline,"opened with a similar $16.8 million in 2009 and went on to become a modest hit, grossing $75.3 million. Laika paid for both the production and advertising costs of "ParaNorman," though it is being released by Universal Pictures' specialty label Focus Features.
Overseas, the film played in nine foreign markets this weekend and brought in $2 million, raising its international total to $7.6 million. Universal is hoping "ParaNorman" will fare better overseas than "Coraline" did, as the 2009 flick grossed a lackluster $49.3 million abroad.
"Sparkle" is a remake of a 1976 production about a singing girl group that dreams of becoming successful. The new version, set in the 1960s, stars 22-year-old "American Idol"winner Jordin Sparks in her debut film role. This weekend, the movie appealed largely to older women -- many of whom may have been interested in seeing Houston's last on-screen performance. The movie attracted a 74% female crowd, and 62% of the audience was over the age of 35. The movie has a good chance of becoming a success for Sony Pictures, which spent only about $14 million to produce the film.
Walt Disney Studios' "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" also had a small budget -- $25 million. The movie, about two parents who are struggling to conceive a child when a boy magically grows in their backyard, opened Wednesday in an effort to spread positive buzz about the film before the crowded weekend. In its first five days of release, the movie sold $15.2 million worth of tickets.
[Updated, 11:14 a.m. Aug. 19: Like its predecessor, "Step Up Revolution" is faring better internationally than domestically. While the dance film has grossed only $32.9 million in the U.S. and Canada since its release July 27, the 3-D movie has collected $83.4 million abroad. Currently, the film is playing in 33 foreign markets and is performing best in Russia, where it has so far sold $8.1 million worth of tickets. The last installment in the "Step Up" franchise, "Step Up 3-D," grossed $116.9 million abroad -- roughly 73% of its worldwide gross.
Here are the top 10 movies at the domestic box office, according to studio estimates and Hollywood.com:
1. "The Expendables 2" (Lionsgate/Millennium): Opened to $28.8 million.
2. "The Bourne Legacy" (Universal/Relativity): $17 million on its second weekend, down 55%. Domestic total: $69.6 million. $18.2 million overseas in 18 foreign markets. International total: $28.1 million.
3. "ParaNorman" (Focus/Laika): Opened to $14 million. $2 million overseas in nine foreign markets. International total: $7.6 million.
4. "The Campaign" (Warner Bros.): $13.4 million on its second weekend, down 50%. Domestic total: $51.7 million.
5. "Sparkle" (Sony): Opened to $12 million.
6. "The Dark Knight Rises" (Warner Bros./Legendary): $11.1 million on its fifth weekend, down 41%. Domestic total: $409.9 million.
7. "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" (Disney): Opened to $10.9 million on its first weekend, $15.2 million since its Wednesday debut.
8. "Hope Springs" (Sony/MGM/Mandate): $9.1 million on its second weekend, down 38%. Domestic total: $35.1 million.
9. "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days" (Fox): $3.9 million on its third weekend, down 52%. Domestic total: $38.8 million. $866,815 overseas in five foreign markets. International total: $8.8 million.
10. "Total Recall" (Sony): $3.5 million on its third weekend, down 56%. Domestic total: $51.8 million. $19 million overseas in 53 foreign markets. International total: $58.2 million.]

Suunto Ambit3 Sport has a digital compass that allows you to orient yourself in relation to magnetic north. The tilt-compensated compass gives you accurate readings even if the compass is not horizontally level.
You can show/hide the compass display from the start menu under DISPLAYS » Compass. Toggle with .
The compass display includes the following information:
- middle row: compass heading in degrees
- bottom row: change view to current heading in cardinals, to time or empty with
The compass switches to power saving mode after one minute. Reactivate it with.
Calibrating compass
If you have not used the compass before, you must first calibrate it. Turn and tilt the watch in multiple directions until the watch beeps, indicating calibration is complete.
If you have already calibrated the compass and want to re-calibrate it, you can access the calibration option in the options menu.
If the calibration is successful, the text Calibration successful is displayed. If the calibration does not succeed, the text Calibration failed is displayed. To retry the calibration, press .
To manually start compass calibration:
- Keep pressed to enter the options menu.
- Select to GENERAL with .
- Scroll to Compass with and select with .
- Press Calibration. to select
Setting declination
To ensure correct compass readings, set an accurate declination value.
Paper maps point to true north. Compasses, however, point to magnetic north – a region above the Earth where the Earth's magnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true North are not at the same location, you must set the declination on your compass. The angle in between magnetic and true north is your declination.
The declination value appears on most maps. The location of magnetic north changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-date declination value can be obtained from the internet (for example www.magnetic-declination.com).
Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic north. This means that when you are using orienteering maps you need to turn the declination correction off by setting the declination value to 0 degrees.
To set the declination value:
- Keep pressed to enter the options menu.
- Press general. to enter
- Scroll to Compass using and select with .
- Scroll to Declination with and select with .
- Turn the declination off by selecting –, or select W (west) or E (east).

You can mark the direction to your target in relation to North with the bearing lock feature.
To lock a bearing:

Hi! Welcome to New Mexico. This week, I'm featured on Blogtrotting, and I want to share a little piece of my world with everyone else.
New Mexico is located in the beautiful desert Southwest of the United States. You may think I'm explaining this for the benefit of other people around the world, but most New Mexicans have probably experienced that it's fellow Americans who are the ones that don't know we are a state. We've all been greeted by a friendly East Coaster with "Enjoy your visit to the United States!" or "Wow, you speak really good English."
Chimayo, N.M.

I'm glad you're reading this, because if you depend on the movie industry for your information about N.M., you probably think we're a bunch of inbred, cannibalistic misfits waiting to dine on your brain. I assure you this is not the case. "The Hills Have Eyes" and "The Hitcher" are works of fiction. Promise! You can find some of my earlier posts on the topic "Everything I needed to know about New Mexico I learned from the movies" here and here.
**We really don't look like that. We like green chile, not human flesh. Scroll down a bit**
Incidentally, we do have a booming but fledgling movie industry here. With state incentives, filmmakers have been flocking to New Mexico and studios like Albuquerque Studios are sprouting. The popular, Emmy-winning TV show "Breaking Bad" is filmed and set in Albuquerque. More information on the industry can be found here.

N.M. is a huge state (121,000+ square miles) with a small population of about 2 million people, statewide. A large percentage of those people are situated in the Albuquerque metro area.
My all-time favorite place to go in the whole world is Carlsbad Caverns. And lucky me! It's located right here in my home state. Located near Carlsbad, N.M., in the southern part of the state, it's a breathtaking tour of cave formations that make me feel lost in another world.

New Mexico is a cultural melting pot, if you'll excuse the cliche. Indian and Spanish cultures blend with Caucasians to create a multicultural environment. It's a minority-majority state. Of course, there are other races and ethnic groups, but in smaller proportions.
Bandelier National Monument is an amazing relic located in northern N.M. You can see the ancient Indian ruins and climb ladders into the cliff dwellings used long ago.
Bandelier, N.M.

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a tourist favorite. Beautiful hot air balloons fill the sky each fall, drawing people from all over the world. I'm no early bird, so I usually miss the balloons. If you don't mind the wee, cold hours, you may just fall in love. I took this picture from my house last fall when I came across a few lingering in the sky.
People are pretty outdoorsy 'round here. Skiing, hiking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, bicycling, etc. are quite popular. Lord knows there are plenty of beautiful, open spaces to enjoy here.
Angel Fire, N.M.

Up in the northern part of the state, you may be familiar with Los Alamos, home of the national laboratory where the atomic bomb was developed. Not too far from there is Santa Fe, a small city well-known for its big art scene. Galleries and museums practically outnumber the people. Artist Georgia O'Keeffe made her home in the Ghost Ranch area. Santa Fe is celebrating 400 years and Albuquerque is 300 years old, so while N.M. is a young state, we have a deep and rich history and some of the oldest cities in the country.
If you come here, you will probably be faced with the question "red or green?" New Mexicans love their cuisine, and we have food all our own. New Mexican food is really big on the chile - not chili -- which comes in red or green varieties. Green chile is not the same as jalapenos, and we have a hard time understanding why we can't seem to get it outside of state lines. We put it in and on everything -- eggs, soup, jelly, bread -- you name it. Some people say the answer to wanting both red and green is "Christmas," but honestly, I've lived here for 32 of my 36 years, and I have never heard someone say that. I think that it's a touristy answer, and not a locals thing.
One last thing: It's windy here in the spring, and tumbleweeds abound. Don't let yourself become a victim.

While they may have only shook his hand or only seen him on television, just about everybody who lived through the Blizzard of '78 feels they knew J. Joseph Garrahy, the governor with the plaid shirt who personified calm, compassion and reason in a time of crisis.
The former governor who served for eight years will be buried today at St. Francis Cemetery in Wakefield following a funeral mass this morning at Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Providence. He died last Tuesday in West Palm Beach, Fla. at the age of 81 leaving his wife, Margherite and their five children.
He leaves countless others who, although they aren't related by blood, also feel he is family. It's really not that extraordinary because Garrahy made so many part of his extended family.
"He always took time to be with family. It was a very tight knit family and it went for his staff and cabinet," says Michael Ryan. Ryan's life was shaped by the former governor, going back to his days as a student at Rhode Island College. The bond between them was strong and enduring.
Ryan was on the phone with Garrahy on two occasions as recently as last week.
"I thought he had a cold," Ryan recalls. He asked about his health and apparently Garrahy dismissed his concerns saying it was a bug that seemed to be going around. The first of the calls was to let Garrahy know of the death of former Newport Mayor Robert McKenna. The second was a couple of days later to tell him of the passing of Charles Fogarty's mother.
Garrahy told Ryan that he only phoned with bad news.
"I promise the next time I'll have good news for you," Ryan remembers responding. The two talked frequently. Ryan said Garrahy was a "voracious reader," who closely followed state, national and international events.
There never was a third call.
Ryan has grieved the man who meant so much to him and he has thought about what made him so popular. Much has been said and written about Garrahy's ability to relate to the common man, how he listened and how he loved Rhode Island. They are all qualities Ryan saw, but under them all – a foundation – "he was very comfortable with who he was."
Of all things it was basketball that brought the two together.
Ryan played the game with Garrahy's brother, Edward, in grammar school. When Garrahy served in the State Senate, Ed said there were openings for Senate pages and thought Ryan might be interested. It put Ryan on a path that led him to become one of the governor's closest confidents and later to the nation's capitol as chief of the Rhode Island office to the late Senator John Chafee.
From page, Ryan went on to become head page. Then after graduating from RIC, Garrahy asked Ryan what he planned to do. Ryan hadn't set a course, but Garrahy said he could use his help. He became a legislative assistant and was assigned to work with the medical malpractice commission. From the Senate Garrahy went on to be elected Lieutenant Governor.
"Before I knew it he was running for governor." Garrahy won his first term in 1976 and Ryan was his press secretary at the age of 25.Apart from the Blizzard of 1978, Ryan said the Providence College fire in Aquinas Hall of Dec. 13, 1977 that killed 10 students was a defining moment for Garrahy. Ryan says Garrahy was struck by the faith of PC President Thomas R. Peterson and moved by how he dealt with the aftermath of the fire but Garrahy also played a role. Ryan said a coed was severely injured and needed to get to a burn center. The only transport available was a military plane. Garrahy called Jack Watson, a special assistant to President Carter. Arrangements were quickly made and Garrahy had the roads closed to avoid delays in getting her to Green Airport."When he called, they paid attention," Ryan said of the president's office. Before Garrahy left office in 1985, Ryan decided he wanted to work in the private sector. He talked with the governor about it and he suggested three companies Ryan might contact. All three gave him interviews and all three came back with job offers. Ryan took a public relations job with AT&T, leaving public service for the time.
The bond with Garrahy was not broken.
"He was humble," Ryan says, "people trusted him to always do the right thing."
Ryan found Garrahy "even tempered," a man who he never heard raise his voice and a man who respected others, even though he may not agree with them.
Speaking of some of today's politicians and elected officials, Ryan said, "I wish they could be mandated to take a course to be civil in public life."
Ryan found Garrahy innovative and his style effective although he didn't always get his way. He called the Greenhouse Compact a "bold effort" although in the end the plan to revitalize the state's economy was defeated by the voters. At the time labor and business leaders refused to sit across the table even for the common good. Garrahy changed that.
"Both sides trusted that he was doing the right thing. They were aware they had to work with him," said Ryan.
Ryan turned to his mentor when Senator John Chafee sought to lure him back into public service. He delayed his answer and bought some time saying he needed to confer with his wife, Lynne, who was close to delivering their son at the time.
Then he called Garrahy. What would be his advice about working for a Republican when he had served for a Democrat?
Garrahy quizzed Ryan on his own political ambitions concluding, "'If you're not going to run for office, you couldn't be working for a better guy'…and he was right." After serving as Chafee's press secretary, Ryan left public service for a second time to work for Narragansett Electric, ironically one of the three companies that offered him a job when he left Garrahy's office. He is now a senior vice president at National Grid that bought Narragansett.
Ryan didn't need to reflect on what meant most to the late governor. It was family. On his frequent calls he would hear from the governor about his grandchildren detailing "chapter and verse on what each was doing."
Ryan says he is privileged and honored to have known Garrahy and for their "extraordinary relationship." Like so many Rhode Islanders, Ryan was family and then so much more.
