I've had all types of workplace mentors. Those who taught me how to write. Those who showed me how to quietly edit around a writer's words. Those who instructed me in the handling of copy-editor curmudgeons as well as egocentric reporters. And then there was that one editor who taught me better than all the rest how to deal with the Dilbert-esque lunacy of an office. Our typical week—make that morning— was usually spent arm-wrestling into submission art directors who referred to words on the page as squiggles, attending to frantic calls for chocolate from the editor-in-chief's assistant, massaging requests to slash recipes to half their length without compromising the integrity of the instructions, and navigating the nuances of office politics and personalities. Lord knew what the afternoon held in store. An aptitude for words, recipes, and even personalities was clearly only a part of the equation. Yet she somehow managed to transcend, calm and composed, all of the little madnesses that accompanied our workplace dysfunction. Not long after I started working for her, she explained her modus operandi to me. "You better find your exit strategy." At first perplexed, I came to understand it wasn't a warning of impending unemployment. What she meant was find a way to get out of the office when a sanity break was needed. For her, there was one place she'd slink off to, walking the eight or so blocks if it was warm, hopping a cab if it was not. Her destination was a narrow storefront, painted a bright robin's egg blue, the interior dotted with far too few tables to accommodate the lunch rush. An hour's respite in this chaotic space wasn't the equivalent to a weekend in her house in the Hamptons, but it was all it took. As far as I could tell, she'd always order the same thing. She'd return later that afternoon, with an attitude adjustment—for the better. Those of us who'd remained behind were, without fail, far worse off than before. I don't think her exit strategy was so much a distraction from the crisis at hand than it was an opportunity to step back. To clear her head from the collective craziness. To steady herself for what no doubt waited for her when she returned. Her strategy was to go to Amy's Bread and indulge in its grilled cheese sandwich. Try it and see if it works. Or if 9th and 46th is too far to travel, go one better and make it yourself. Grilled New York State Cheddar Cheese Sandwich
For these sandwiches, we put the sliced cheese on top of to the bread, then the other ingredients on top of that, and we finish with more sliced cheese. When the sandwich is grilled the cheese melts completely, enclosing the other fillings. To get the right texture, you'll need a sandwich grill that compresses the sandwiches as they cook, or one large skillet and a heavy pot that will fit inside the skillet to sit on top of the sandwiches. Serve them hot off the grill to enjoy them while the cheese is still soft and the bread is still crusty.–Amy Scherber
LC Note
At Amy's, they use slices of country sourdough bread baked in a traditional pan loaf shape, but you can use any good-quality mild-flavored sourdough cut into I-inch-thick slices.
Grilled Cheddar Cheese Sandwich
- Quick Glance
- Makes 4 sandwiches
- 3 ounces store-bought or homemade tomato paste
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons adobo sauce from peppers
- 1 1/2 teaspoons molasses
- 8 slices country sourdough, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 10 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1 large or 3 small fresh tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 4 very thin slices red onion
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 1. Place the tomato paste, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and molasses in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth.
- 2. Taste the pepper spread so you'll know how spicy it is, and spread each slice of bread with as much of the pepper mixture as you'd like. We use about 1 tablespoon per slice.
- 3. On each of 4 slices of bread, place 1 1/4 slices of cheddar cheese, then place 2 to 3 tomato slices on the cheese. Top with a few thin rings of sliced red onion and a tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Place 1 1/4 more slices of cheese on each sandwich. Place another slice of bread, pepper spread side down, on top of each sandwich.
- 4. If you have a sandwich grill, heat the sandwiches following the manufacturer's instructions until the bread is toasted and the cheese has begun to melt. If you don't have one, place a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat for 30 seconds. Put the sandwiches in the pan and weight them down with a clean, heavy pot. When the bread has begun to toast and brown, 1 to 2 minutes, flip the sandwiches over and toast the other side. Serve immediately.
Tips and Techniques
- Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce can be found in stores that carry a selection of authentic Latin ingredients. They are very spicy so a little goes a long way. After you have opened the can, you can transfer the remaining peppers and sauce to a resealable container and freeze them for later use.
- Presliced sharp cheddar is packed with ten slices per 8-ounce package. Use 1 1/4 slices per bread slice to get the proper proportion.
- We suggest slicing the bread thickly so that when the sandwich is pressed on the grill the bread still has some body. Thinner slices of bread will be paper thin after they have been pressed.

No Closet, No Problem: 10 Fixes for Apartments with a Lack of Closets
So you've found your perfect apartment. The only problem is - there's no closet. Or maybe there's a tiny 2x4 closet that couldn't even begin to hold all your clothes. What to do? You could keep looking...or you could avail yourself of one of these clever solutions.
1. Of course, you could always go old-school and get an armoire, or even a chifferobe. (What's the difference? According to dictionary.com, a chifferobe must have drawers in addition to hanging space.) But what about...shoes in a pie safe?
2. Brian and Kerry tucked an
3. I love this idea for a room without a logical nook to turn into a a closet — clothes storage behind the bed. In this case, keeping the palette in the rest of the room simple keeps the colors of the hanging clothes from being too overwhelming.
4. You can hang this simple DIY clothes bar from the ceiling pretty much anywhere in the house.
5. Don't think your clothes are pretty enough to look at all the time? You can cover up clothes storage by hanging a curtain in front.
6. Shelves and a hanging rod tuck neatly behind the ladder to a loft. Sporting equipment hangs on the wall beside.
7. A picture ledge with a hanging rod beneath puts clothes front and center — and doesn't protrude too far into the room.
8. Missy from Lookie What I Did made this wall-hung organizer for her hubby's various accessories.
9. This beautiful modern apartment in Malmö makes a freestanding clothes rack look so good.
10. The rack above is from Ikea, but you can make your own from inexpensive PVC pipe.

WALTHAM, Mass. - After coming from behind to tie the game at 3-3, the MIT men's soccer team lost to Brandeis in overtime when the Judges scored 79 seconds in on a free kick. The Engineers' ledger fell to 4-1, while Brandeis raised their record to 5-0.
In the 62nd minute of the game, MIT were down 0-2, both goals courtesy of the Judges' Lee Russo. It was not until the 72nd minute of play that MIT was put on the board when Ben Lewis (West Hartford, Conn.) headed the ball into the net after a cross from fellow senior Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa.).
After another goal by Brandeis in the 76th minute, Monheit scored MIT's second goal a mere 52 seconds after the Brandeis goal. The ball was inititally headed by freshman William Lee (Charlotte, N.C.) and was knocked in by Monheit after a scramble in front of the net. The Engineers added another goal when a free kick by freshman Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) deflected off a defender, tying the game at 3-3 with 10 minutes remaining in the game.
Both teams made one last attempt at the goal, but to no avail, leaving the score tied at the end of the second half. Less than a minute and a half into overtime, Russo booted a free kick from just outside the 18 yard box, where it flew over the outstretched arms of sophomore goalkeeper Samuel Cannon (Scarsdale, N.Y), ending the game.
The Engineers will return to action when they travel to Babson on Saturday, Sept. 15 for the first conference game of the season, while the Judges will hit the road for WPI on Wednesday, Sept. 12.

French Tweeters Get Around Ban On Tweeting Election Results Using WWII-Era Codes
from the gouda-cheese dept
As a result, incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy became either Tokaji wine which, like his father, comes from Hungary, or Rolex because of his perceived "bling-bling" lifestyle.From there, it sounds like people just had fun with it, figuring out all sorts of ways to obliquely refer to the different candidates and how well they were doing without directly referring to any of them. Once again, the internet views censorship as an obstacle, and routes around it, through a rather creative form of "encryption."
His Socialist opponent Francois Hollande was either Gouda cheese (from Holland) or a soft, sweet "Flanby" caramel desert -- an old and unforgiving nickname for the portly frontrunner.
Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen was associated with the names of totalitarian regimes or rodents and Communist Party-backed Jean-Luc Melenchon was either a rotten tomato or something linked to the former Soviet Union.

2018 Melges 20 Miami Winter Series - Pacific Yankee Power
9 February 2018
MIAMI, Fla. (Feb. 9, 2018) - As if on repeat from the 2017 December event, the first day of the February Miami Winter Series dialed up near perfect conditions with great breeze, sunshine and warm temps to give northern sailors a much needed break from the cold. Starting on-time, PRO Blake Middleton along with his stable of volunteers from the Coconut Grove Sailing Club (GCSC) set a square, 1.2nm race course and the fleet got underway.
After a quick break from Melges 20 sailing, Wes Whitmyer's SLINGSHOT along with Johnny "Nugs" Goldsberry and Bri Porter, led around the first top mark in solid fashion. With a clean set, they blasted off to the leeward marks looking like seasoned Melges 20 sailors. Once to the gate however, Freides showed why his team is currently the best team on the planet; superior downwind sailing. Nailing the angle of heel, smooth boat handling and with sure tactics, Freides grabbed the lead and never looked back followed by Whitmyer and Italy's Matteo Marenghi Vaselli's RAYA.
Race Two got started without delay, and much like the breeze for all other Melges 20 events this winter season, the winner of the race was on repeat. Freides again showed solid speed around the track and after a brief tussle with a few teams from 'across the pond,' he took the bullet followed by Russia's Vladimir Prosikhin on NIKA, and Achille Onorato's famous MASCALZONE LATINO, JR.
The third and final race of the day began with the same conditions, and as Freides went for the elusive 'picket fence' scoreline, a pack of Melges 20 sailors were improving throughout the day - pushing hard to make podium status.
Once to the finish line however, the speed and polish of Freides and his PACIFIC YANKEE team proved invincible handing in a golden 1-1-1 scoreline. Denmark's Bo Boje Pedersen on UPUPUP showed his capabilities to grab second. Prosikhin rounded out a solid day finishing third.
With Freides as the overnight leader, the rest of the podium is tight with just 10 points separating second from tenth. The forecast for Day Two states that teams can anticipate more epic racing - three more races are guaranteed.
CGSC played gracious host to Melges 20 teams post racing with a nice spread of apps and cold beer. More action to come from Miami.
As with other Melges 20 events around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Melges 20 Facebook Page. Be sure to also follow the fleet on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Tune in for the latest racing information, results, video interviews and photos at melges20.com.

FAQ: What features use the GPU and how do I troubleshoot GPU issues?Pattie F May 10, 2012 7:17 PM
Photoshop CS6 GPU FAQ
This document provides a quick reference guide to video card usage in Photoshop. Some features require a compatible video card to work; if the video card or its driver is defective or unsupported, those features will not work at all. Other features use the video card for acceleration and if the card or driver is defective those features will run more slowly.
Mercury Graphics Engine
The Mercury Graphics Engine (MGE) represents features that use video card, or GPU, acceleration. In Photoshop CS6, this new engine delivers near-instant results when editing with key tools such as Liquify, Warp, Lighting Effects and the Oil Paint filter. The new MGE delivers unprecedented responsiveness for a fluid feel as you work.
MGE is new to Photoshop CS6, and uses both the OpenGL and OpenCL frameworks. It does not use the proprietary CUDA framework from nVidia.
In order to use MGE, you must have a supported video card and updated driver. If you do not have a supported card, performance will be degraded. In most cases the acceleration is lost and the feature runs in the normal CPU mode. However, there are some features that will not work without a supported video card.
GPU features added in Photoshop CS6
- Adaptive Wide Angle Filter (compatible video card required)
- Liquify (accelerated by compatible video card with 512MB VRAM, GPU mode unavailable on Windows XP)
- Oil Paint (compatible video card required)
- Warp and Puppet Warp (accelerated by compatible video card, GPU mode unavailable on Windows XP)
- Field Blur, Iris Blur, and Tilt/Shift (accelerated by compatible video
card supporting OpenCL, GPU mode unavailable on Windows XP)
- Lighting Effects Gallery (compatible video card required with 512MB
VRAM, unavailable on Windows XP)
- New 3D enhancements (3D features in Photoshop require a compatible video card with 512MB VRAM, unavailable on Windows XP):
- Draggable Shadows
- Ground plane reflections
- Roughness
- On-canvas UI controls
- Ground plane
- Liqht widgets on edge of canvas
- IBL (image based light) controller
* Note that all 3D features are unavailable on Windows XP in Photoshop CS6
GPU features added in previous versions of Photoshop
- Scrubby Zoom. See Zoom continuously
- Heads Up Display (HUD) color picker. See Choose a color while painting
- Color sampling ring. Choose colors with the Eyedropper tool
- Brush dynamic resize and hardness control. See Resize or change hardness of cursors by dragging
- Bristle Brush tip previews. Bristle tip shape options
- Rule of thirds crop grid overlay. Crop images
- Zoom enhancements. Smooth display at all zoom levels and temporary zoom. See Zoom continuouslyTemporarily zoom an image
- Animated transitions for one-stop zoom.
- Flick-panning.
- Rotate the canvas. Use the Rotate View tool
- View nonsquare pixel images. Adjust pixel aspect ratio
- Pixel grid. Hide the pixel grid
- Adobe Color Engine (ACE).
- Draw Brush tip cursors. Resize or change hardness of cursors by dragging
Adobe Bridge GPU features
- Preview panel
- Full-screen preview
- Review mode
See Preview and compare images in Adobe Bridge CS6 Help for information on all of these features.
GPU/OpenGL preferences in Photoshop CS6
The advantages of using a compatible video card (GPU) with Photoshop are that you can experience better performance and more features. Problems can occur if you have an older video card with limited VRAM or if you use other programs at the same time as Photoshop that use the GPU.
- Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS).
- In the Performance panel, make sure Use Graphics Processor is selected in GPU Settings.
- Click Advanced Settings and specify the following options:
- Mode > Basic
- Mode > Normal
- Mode > Advanced Provides the benefits of Normal mode as well as newer OpenGL advances that can result in improved performance.
- Use Graphics Processor to Accelerate Computation
- Use OpenCL Uses the GPU to accelerate the new blur filters (Field Blur, Iris Blur, and Tilt-Shift) – OpenCL will only be available on newer GPUs that support OpenCL v1.1 or higher
- Anti-Alias Guides And Paths Allows the GPU hardware to smooth the edges of drawn guides and paths.
- 30 Bit Display (Windows only) Allows Photoshop to display 30 bit data directly to screen on video cards that support it
Quick GPU Troubleshooting Steps
You can experience problems such as artifacts, errors, and crashes if there are incompatibilities between Photoshop and the display components that access the GPU.
If you experience crashes, incorrectly rendered windows or objects, redraw issues, or performance issues while running Photoshop, first determine whether OpenGL is causing the problem.
- Turn off OpenGL.
- Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS).
- In the Performance panel, uncheck Use Graphics Processor. Click OK.
- Restart Photoshop, and perform the same function.
If the problem recurs while OpenGL Drawing is disabled, OpenGL is not the cause. For additional troubleshooting, see Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Windows (cpsid_82252) or Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Mac OS 10.x (cpsid_82414).
If the problem resolves, proceed with the rest of the troubleshooting steps to fix OpenGL.
- Make sure that you're using the latest update of Photoshop.
- Updates fix bugs and issues.
- Update the display driver.
- Updated display drivers can fix many issues, such as crashing, incorrectly rendered objects, and performance problems. Determine what video card you have and go directly to the manufacturer's website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver. (Note: Simply doing a Windows Update is does not guarantee you are using the latest driver. You must go directly to the nVideo or ATI/AMD websites to get the absolute latest driver.) After you update your driver, turn on Use Graphics Processor in Photoshop preferences.
- Reset preferences.
- Resetting preferences returns OpenGL settings to their default status. Reset Photoshop preferences by pressing and holding Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) immediately after you start Photoshop.
- Click Yes when asked if you want to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File.
- Retry the function that caused the problem.
- Change the OpenGL mode to Basic.
- Setting the OpenGL mode to Basic uses the least amount of GPU memory and the most basic GPU feature set.
- Close all documents.
- Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS)
- In the Performance panel, click the GPU Settings Advanced Settings button.
- Choose Mode > Basic
- Restart Photoshop.
If this solution resolves the problem, switch to Normal mode. See if the issue recurs. If the issue recurs, return to Basic mode.
- Note: If you're changing GPU preferences to troubleshoot a problem, re-launch Photoshop after each change.
- If you are using more than one video adapter, remove the additional cards.
- Multiple video adapters can cause problems with GPU accelerated or enabled features in Photoshop. It's best to connect two (or more) monitors into one video adapter. If you have to use more than one video adapter, make sure that they are the same make and model. Otherwise, crashes and other problems can occur in Photoshop.
- Note: Using two video adapters does not enhance Photoshop's performance.
- Check your Cache Levels setting.
- If you've set your Cache Levels to 1 in Photoshop preferences, you can experience performance issues with GPU features. Reset Cache Levels to the default setting, which is 4.
- Choose Edit > Preferences > Performance (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS)
- In the Performance panel, choose Cache Levels > 4.
The GPU Sniffer
To help guard against Photoshop crashes related to bad GPU hardware or drivers, Photoshop employs a small program called the GPU Sniffer. Every time Photoshop is launched, Photoshop launches the sniffer. The sniffer runs rudimentary tests of the GPU and reports the results to Photoshop. If the sniffer crashes or reports a failure status to Photoshop, Photoshop will not use the GPU. The Use Graphics Hardware checkbox in the Performance panel of the Preferences will be unchecked and disabled.
The first time the sniffer fails, Photoshop will display a dialog indicating that it has detected a problem with the GPU. On subsequent launches the dialog will not appear unless the Photoshop preferences are reset.
If the user corrects the problem, either by replacing the video card or by updating the driver, then the sniffer will pass on the next launch and the Use Graphics Hardware checkbox will be enabled and returned to its previous state (enabled or disabled).
Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6
Adobe tested the following video cards before the release of Photoshop CS6. This document lists the video card by series. While the minimum amount of VRAM supported on video cards for Photoshop CS6 is 256MB, some features require 512MB of VRAM to be enabled.
Note: Adobe tested laptop and desktop versions of the following cards. Be sure to download the latest driver for your specific model. (Laptop and desktop versions have slightly different names.)
nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 series
nVidia Quadro 400, 600, 2000, 4000 (Mac & Win), CX, 5000, 6000
AMD/ATI Radeon 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000 series
AMD/ATI FirePro 3800, 4800, 5800, 7800, 8800, 9800, 3900, 4900, 5900, 7900
Intel Intel HD Graphics, Intel HD Graphics P3000, Intel HD Graphics P4000
Note: ATI X1000 series and nVidia 7000 series cards are no longer being tested and are not officially supported in CS6 – some basic GL functionality may be available for both these cards.
Note: 3Dand some Open GL features are disabled on Windows XP, as stated on : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/

Power Shopper
Cheryl Lampard, founder of Style Matters International, finds great buys, discusses the latest styles and answers your questions
July 2012
Sale on
It's summer time, and that means it's sale time in Southwest Florida. While there are some great deals to be done, a bargain is only a bargain when it's something you'd have wanted or considered buying at its original price. So here are some of my sale shopping tips: Mirrors do not lie. (Really, they don't.) Make sure you're in good lighting and can see your back view when trying on your bargain. If it doesn't fit you in the shop, it won't fit you when you get it home either. Remember to check the store's return policy regarding sale items; it may differ significantly from their standard terms. Things are in a sale for a reason. It might simply be that last season's stock has to go to make room for the new, but it could also be something didn't sell...

As one of the most functional everyday items, it's surprising that many of us stick to wearing just one favorite timepiece, rather than viewing a wristwatch in the same way as other accessories: as something to be changed out depending on the outfit or the occasion. But when you think about it, it makes perfect sense to have a wardrobe of watches, especially if your treasured watch is an heirloom. (After all, white water rafting in your grandfather's timepiece may not be the best treatment for it.) Current watch trends (for men and women) include: Two-tone metals: perfect for every day and a great choice if you like to mix your jewelry metals to create more options. Bold brights: Made in durable materials, these functional and practical watches are available in a...

A Shorts Story
Nantucket navy/red plaid shorts and True Religion Camo shorts at Nordstrom In the U.S. and Europe, short trousers were usually only worn by boys—rarely by adult men, other than sportsmen. That all changed during World War II when soldiers deployed in tropical locations were provided with "shorts" as an essential part of their kit. Since then, they've been a staple in a man's casual summer wardrobe and a year round choice in Southwest Florida. Here's a few short tips for choosing yours: If your legs are on the thin side, go for a pair of shorts with a slimmer cut. Anything too loose or too wide will result in excess fabric flapping around your lean limbs like sails around a mast. The aim is to keep your silhouette long and lean, but if you're hesitant as to how...

Side by Side by Simon

This is the greatest thing I've seen in a long time.
Has there ever been a more mediocre show with a cooler theme song than Simon & Simon?

I agree, I like'd both of them, the season one version is lesser known though.
For my five cents worth, when I was a little kid we thought the theme from Jonny Quest was pretty spiffy, and as an adult I think both the theme music and the show's use of music in general is impressive.

But JONNY QUEST is a great show.

"But JONNY QUEST is a great show".
Marty, I stand corrected, I wasnt properly following Stephen's thread. I don't want to go on a tangent, but one question has been bothering me for about 45 years,I figure the tv mavens here may know, and that is, can anyone tell me the brand of sneaker that was tied into the Quest show, it had a red dot on the heel and I begged my parents to get me a pair, just like Jonny had in the commercials.
I have asked other people, some recall the red dot but not the brand.
Mea culpa Stephen for this distraction, but "I gots to know", as they said in Dirty Harry.

I always preferred the mariachi theme from the first season…the end them of the first season was a vocal version sung by the Younger Brothers (or was it the Thrasher Brothers?)…whatever their name was, they were signed to MCA's Nashville division at the time, which got them the gig. This theme is OK…I wonder why so many Universal shows changed their theme music after one season (i.e., Switch, Magnum P.I., Simon & Simon)?

As kids, we really liked the themes from 2 crummy one year wonders "It's About Time" and "Mr. Terrific", in fact "Time" became a staple for years with altered dirty lyrics, gleefully sung when no parents were lurking.

Dr. Sketchy's Toronto has been delivering some top-notch models this summer! The most recent was Siren. This gal has the most amazing legs, among other stunning assets. I don't even believe I exaggerated when drawing her legs -- they are seriously twice the length of her torso!
Maybe a little exaggeration :) I drew a cleaned up version of the above sketch during one of the breaks. She's a little bit "standard J.Bone girl" and not exactly what I saw onstage.
Two of my favorite drawings of the night. The poses and those amazing boots inspired me greatly.

The British government has authorised the extradition of Hey Dad! star Robert Hughes, who is expected to face multiple child sexual assault charges on his return to Australia.
Home Secretary Theresa May on Tuesday signed an extradition order for Hughes after a London magistrate in September determined that the 64-year-old return to NSW for questioning.
Hughes consented to the order and indicated that he plans to defend allegations that he assaulted five children between 1985 and 1990 while staring on the popular family television sitcom.
"On November 20, the Secretary of State, having carefully considered all relevant matters, signed an order for Robert Hughes's extradition to Australia," a spokesman from Ms May's office said in a statement.
"Mr Hughes is wanted in Australia in connection with alleged sexual offences against children."
Hughes has 14 days to appeal the extradition, but will otherwise leave the UK within four weeks in a transfer managed by British police on a date to be confirmed.
NSW Police sought Hughes's extradition after receiving complaints from five people, who were aged seven to 15 years at the time of the alleged abuse.
Accusations against Hughes were outlined in court and included indecent exposure, kissing, and the touching of Hughes's erect penis through clothing.
"Rather than continue to suffer a trial by media, my client is keen to defend the allegations which he vehemently denies," Hughes's lawyer Robert Katz said after the most recent court appearance.
Hughes had been living in London with his wife when he was arrested in early August.
He played the central character Martin Kelly in the hit TV series.

Spain's National Competition Commission has fined top telecommunications operators Telefonica, Vodafone and Orange a total of (EURO)120 million ($159 million) for abusing their dominant position and charging excessively high prices for texts and multimedia messages.
The commission said Thursday that between 2000 and 20009 the three companies exploited the absence of regulation to maintain artificially high wholesale prices for operators without their own networks. It said this led to higher retail prices for short messages and created barriers for companies wishing to enter or expand in the market.
Telefonica was fined (EURO)46.5 million, Vodafone (EURO)43.5 million and Orange (EURO)30 million. The three said they would appeal.

Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (d. 911) on Tasawwuf
Shaykh al-Islam al-Suyuti, the Renewer of the Eighth Islamic century and Mujtahid Imam said in his book on tasawwuf entitled Ta'yid al-haqiqa al-`aliyya wa-tashyid al-tariqa al-shadhiliyya (The upholding of the lofty truth and the buttressing of the Shadhili path):
Tasawwuf in itself is a most honorable knowledge. It explains how to follow the Sunna of the Prophet and to leave innovation, how to purify the ego… and submit to Allah truly…
I have looked at the matters which the Imams of Shari`a have criticized in Sufis, and I did not see a single true Sufi holding such positions. Rather, they are held by the people of innovation and the extremists who have claimed for themselves the title of Sufi while in reality they are not…
Pursuit of the science of the hearts, knowledge of its diseases such as jealousy, arrogance and pride, and leaving them are an obligation on every Muslim.1
1 al-Suyuti, Ta'yid al-haqiqa al-`aliyya wa-tashyid al-tariqa al-shadhiliyya, ed. `Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn al-Siddiq al-Ghumari al-Hasani (Cairo: al-matba`a al-islamiyya, 1934), p. 56-57.Reproduced with permission from Shaykh M.

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Rookie Junior Lake hit his first major league homer and drove in three runs Monday night to power the Cubs to a 4-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Lake's two-run homer off Tyler Skaggs with no outs in the fifth inning gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead. Lake's RBI single in the ninth scored Darwin Barney with an insurance run.
Dioner Navarro hit a solo home run in the second for the Cubs.
Skaggs (2-2) took the loss for the Diamondbacks, who dropped out of first place in National League West combined with the Los Angeles Dodgers' win in Toronto. They held or shared the division's top spot since May 15. Arizona has lost four of its last five.
Chris Rusin (1-0) got the win after being a late substitute for Matt Garza, who was traded earlier Monday to the Texas Rangers for five minor league players. Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth for his 19th save.
Rusin appears to be the Cubs' go-to pitcher after trades. When Scott Feldman was dealt to Baltimore, Rusin stepped in, but did not receive a decision in an eventual 8-7 loss to Oakland. With the trade of Garza to Texas Monday, Rusin again received the call to start, held the Diamondbacks scoreless until the sixth inning, and picked up his first win of the season.
After Navarro's solo blast gave the Cubs an early 1-0 lead in the second, Chicago added a pair in the fifth as Lake slammed a 2-0 pitch into the left-centerfield bleachers with Rusin on base.
Effective from the start, Rusin – 8-7 at Triple A Iowa – retired the first seven he faced. With one out in the third, Didi Gregarious slapped a single to right but was stranded when Skaggs struck out and A.J. Pollock fouled out to the catcher.
Through the first five innings, Rusin allowed two baserunners.
Rusin walked Cody Ross with one out in the fifth, but Ross was doubled up when right fielder Cole Gillespie grabbed Gerado Parra's sinking liner and fired to first baseman Anthony Rizzo for the double play.
Rusin pitched into the sixth and left with runners on first and second and no outs.
In that inning, the Diamondbacks managed to score both runners. First, Martin Prado's sacrifice fly scored Gregorius, and Paul Goldschmidt drove in his 79th run of the season with an infield single.
The Diamondbacks had an opportunity to take the lead, but could not capitalize in the seventh as pinch-hitter Eric Chavez flied to center field with the bases loaded and two outs.
In the eighth and with the tying run at third with two outs, Miguel Montero struck out to end that threat.
Earlier, plate umpire Doug Eddings made sure things did not get out of control. With a history of Arizona suspensions this season for hit batters, Eddings directly addressed the issue in the Cubs' half of the fourth inning. With two outs, Skaggs hit Navarro on the right knee with a pitch. Immediately after Navarro was hit, Eddings pointed to Skaggs and then pointed to both the Diamondbacks and Cubs dugouts. While Navarro was examined by Cubs trainer P.J. Mainville, Eddings went to mound and spoke directly with Skaggs.
NOTES: To make room on the roster for Skaggs, the Diamondbacks sent lefty Eury De La Rosa to Triple-A Reno. ... Rusin's previous appearance against the Diamondbacks was a 7-2 win at Arizona last Sept. 30. ... With a 4-for-5 night, Lake, recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, is now 9 for 17.

Sand tobogganing, Moreton Island, QLD
Tangalooma Island Resort is located on Moreton Island, approximately 40 kilometres off the coast of Brisbane.
The Moreton Island National Park covers around 98% of the island. White sandy beaches line the island's ocean side which are ideal for swimming, surfing and fishing. The sheltered western edge is more relaxed, with crystal clear blue water gently lapping against the beach. The three island settlements are all located on the western side, at Kooringal in the south, Cowan in the middle and northern Bulwer.
The traditional owners of the Moreton Bay region were the Ngugi people. The Aboriginal name for Tangalooma means 'where fishes meet'. Moreton Island is called 'Moorgumpin' meaning 'place of sandhills'. Captain James Cook named 'Morton Bay' in 1770 after the Scottish Earl of Morton, which was later misspelled as 'Moreton Bay' in translations from his journals.

I have some proposals to make. I ran this by on my Facebook page for a while and have incorporated comments from the view who saw it and responded. There is no kiteboarding organization at 3rd at present, so even if everyone liked these 'rules/guidelines' it would only be suggested behavior. These are site specific to the 3rd Avenue north launch and are really commonsense and kitetiquette concerns intended to improve safety and enjoyment for everyone using the site.
- Kiters should always set their kites up with the kite facing into the wind, bayward wrt the bar and lines, with lines running perpendicular to the wind. This has been our approach at 3rd for many years, but we even have instructors (Ovi's guys set up beach style) who run against the grain. If you just don't know a different way than 'beach style' please set up way in back so that no one inadvertantly sets up over your lines.
- Sand bags are for kites, not for bars. If you need a bag and someone has it on a bar, you can take it.
- When there is any chance of a southerly shift, put sand bags on the west side of the kite as sand bags placed anywhere else can be lifted off the kite by a southerly gust and then the kite has no mooring.
- It goes without saying that every kiter should have an approach to setting up their kite that is guaranteed to produce no tangled or switched lines. Every kiter should preflight their kite prior to initiating the launch sequence.
- We should have agreed-upon signals for when to rotate the kite into launch position, when to move the kite up/down wind, and when to release. The thumbs up doesn't work, because it is very difficult to see. Personally I raise one arm high into the air. I use a straight arm left or right to have the launcher move the kite. I use a 'hang loose' sign to rotate the kite into launch position. These are provided only as examples but the signals should be clear. If we have 'default' signals the kiter and launcher can still agree on others but at least we would have a baseline.
- Launching a kite is a responsibility and a skill. It should not be taken lightly by either the kiter or the launcher.
- Once the kiter signals they are ready to launch they should not move toward the launcher as the launcher cannot locate the best position for the kite until the kiter stops moving.
- The launcher should never let go of the kite when given the signal that the kiter is ready to launch. When the kiter is ready and signals the launcher, the launcher should then position the kite for the best launch, check the lines, look for traffic, and only then release the kite. What I tell everyone is to move the kite downwind until it is pushing back at you because then the kite will move forward in the window as it rises with driftback very unlikely. There is nothing anyone can do when the wind is changing direction faster than you can react, but you can at least use a technique that will reduce the possibility of a drift launch.
- The launcher should raise the kite off the ground prior to launch, because otherwise it might roll and the kiter cannot feel the load on the kite unless it is off the ground.
Launch/Landing Area Traffic Control
- Once the kite is in the air, it should be 'angled' toward launch, 10:00-11:00, not at 12:00. This will help it stay loaded in gusting conditions.
- Once the kite is in the air the kiter should move deliberately and as quickly as reasonable/possible toward launch. It is the kiter's responsibility to space themselves so that everyone else has a safety window of space. It is NEVER acceptable to define the safety window by how safe YOU feel (same on the water).
- There should be enough space between kiters entering the water that landing kiters have a chance to get in safely.
- Although kiters entering the water have right of way, and when there is traffic, they should position themselves to the south end of launch, with kites high but as low as possible, so that kiters exiting the water can come in.
- Kiters exiting the water should come in on the north side of launch with the kites as high as possible (when there are kiters entering the water).
- Everyone should be looking for kites coming in and help kiters land their kites.
- Landing a kite is a responsibility and a skill. It should never be taken lightly by either the kiter or the person doing the landing.
- The kiter should try to locate the landing site where s/he will have good, solid footing, where the kite will end up on dry land, and where the lines will not interfere with other kites/kiters (as nearly as possible).
- The kiter should bring the kite down as quickly as possible but should try to stop it before it gets to the person landing the kite. The kiter should never bring the kite down until the designated/agreed lander is in place upwind of the kite's leading edge.
- The person landing the kite must be in front of the kite LE and should grab it with both hands. I recommend one in front and one in back to maintain positive control.
- The person landing a kite should NEVER muscle it to the ground. Walk the kite toward the kiter to loosen the lines. Roll the kite so that tips are up and the kite is depowered. Then you can use the wind to roll the kite onto the ground with ease.
If everyone were to use a common set procedures we could greatly reduce problems and conflicts at the north end. This would also result in a more orderly and efficient launch and landing area, helping everyone have an enjoyable time.
Respectfully submitted,

On Monday, Oct. 1, 2001, Betty Jane Lewis died at Mt. Angel Care Facility when she was 79 years of age.
Betty was born the daughter of Leslie Garrett and Jessie Mae (Kinney) Buchan on Sunday, Oct. 23, 1921 in Englewood, Fla. in a hurricane.
Betty graduated from Clearwater High School. Jessie, her mother, and Betty became involved with the Church of the Nazarene and Betty moved to Pasadena, Cal. to attend Pasadena Nararene College. Betty's musical gift and education as a pianist helped finance her college tuition by playing with a smal group at college. She was invited to play piano at a church in Palo Alto by Vern Lewis, who had used other young people in the church.
After a year-long courtship, Betty was married to Vern in the Bressee Avenue Church of the Nazarene in Pasadena on July 10, 1942. During their first year of marriage, Betty tested positive for tuberculosis and when she did not improve with rest and vitamins was admitted to La Vina Sanitarium for nine months.
During this time Vern rode the streetcar to the end of the line and walked four miles up the mountain to see his beloved wife once a week. A few short weeks after her return home, they were assigned their first pastorate in Covert, Kan., a small country town with population of 75. She was to make a parsonage from a four-room house with no running water, a squirrel in the attic, a skunk in the basement, and a loan of $25 for their furniture. She helped Vern pastor in Anthony, Chase, Hutchinson Peniel, and Garden City, Kan., becoming the "Perfect Pastor's Wife."
In 1958, they received the call from the Hood River Church of the Nazarene, where they served for the next nine years, building a new parsonage and a new church, then on to Klamath Falls and Molalla. In 1976, they moved to Alaska, where Betty had never wanted to go and would now have to quote, "never say never!"
While in Fairbanks, Betty went to work for the State of Alaska as a clerk typist, her first time working out of the home. She kept records for the State Nurse, which led her to fly out into the bush where she accumulated some wonderful stories and memories. Betty and Vern retired in 1985 and moved to Vancouver, Wash.
Surviving are her husband Vern Lewis of Aurora and three sons; David P. Lewis of Lake Oswego, Stephen R. Lewis of Aurora, and Mark W. Lewis of Phoenix, Arizona.
Also surviving are her three brothers; Evertt Buchan of Bellevue, Wash, Gerald Buchan and Wallace Buchan both of Vancouver, Wash., and those who have come to know and appreciate her where she had lived and worked. Her brother, Maurice Orlando and her daughter, Gail Lynn Lewis preceded her in death.
Her memorial service will be Saturday, Oct. 6, 2001 at 11 a.m. in the Church of the Nazarene in Hood River with Pastor Jim Beals officiating. Committal is private in Pine Grove Butte Cemetary. Chapel viewing and visitation hours are Friday 5 to 8 p.m. at Attrell's Newberg Chapel, a Golden Rule funeral Home in Newberg.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Providence Benedictine Home in Mt. Angel c/o Attrell's Newberg Chapel, 207 Villa Road, Newberg, OR 97132.

Man burned rescuing pets from burning kennels
WINNIPEG - The owner of a kennel is being praised for his heroic actions in saving dozens of dogs and cats from a fire Monday morning at Santana Kennels, just west of Winnipeg.
Fifty-one dogs 11 cats were being housed at the kennel. All of them survived, although one cat escaped and several dogs suffered from smoke inhalation.
Carla Martinelli with the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter, which was housing some of its dogs at Santana, says kennel owner Iain McIver repeatedly returned to the burning building to open cages and get the animals out.
Martinelli says one rescue was especially difficult: "It was a Pomeranian that suffered burns to its body and Ian got that one out, and actually I think he got bitten at the same time he tried to grab that one. On top of that, that's when he got a lot of his burns was getting that dog out."
Martinelli says McIver suffered mostly second-degree burns to his head, hands and arms. He was treated at hospital and released.

Carried by solid downstream earnings, ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) weighed in on Friday with a stronger-than-expected 5.9% increase in fourth-quarter profits.
Continue Reading Below
Shares of the world's largest publicly traded energy company ticked slightly higher on the earnings beat.
Exxon said it earned $9.95 billion, or $2.20 a share, last quarter, compared with a profit of $9.40 billion, or $1.97 a share, a year earlier. Analysts had called for EPS of just $2.00.
Revenue slumped 5.3% to $115.17 billion, nearly matching the Street's view of $115.23 billion.
Exxon's fourth quarter was highlighted by strong downstream results as profits surged to $1.77 billion from $425 million the year before. The company said stronger refining-driven margins increased profits by $1.2 billion.
Chemical earnings soared to $958 million from $543 million the year before amid higher margins.
On the other hand, Exxon's upstream earnings slumped to $7.76 billion from $8.83 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to lower liquid realizations and production volume and mix effects.
For the full year, Exxon earned $44.88 billion, representing a 9% jump from 2011.
"ExxonMobil's strong financial performance enables continued investment in new energy supplies, which creates jobs and supports economic expansion," CEO Rex Tillerson said in a statement.
Oil-equivalent production dipped 5% overall and 2% excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments.
Exxon said its capital and exploration expenditures soared 24% in the fourth quarter to $12.4 billion.
Shares of Irving, Tex.-based Exxon gained 0.47% to $90.39 ahead of the opening bell on Friday. Year-to-date Exxon has gained about 4%.
Last week Exxon briefly reclaimed its position as the world's most valuable company by market cap from struggling Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Entering Friday's trading Apple's market valuation stood at $427.73 billion, compared with $410.20 billion for Exxon.

This was a really big hit for a dinner we had this weekend. We served it with a side Linguine with Alfredo Sauce and a side salad.
Pan Seared Double Bacon Filet Mignon in Red Wine Sauce
4 filet mignons wrapped in bacon (4-6 oz each)
2-3 tablespoons Peppered Bacon Salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced shallots
3/4 cup red wine (we used a good red zinfandel and drank the rest)
2-3 sprigs of thyme
Sprinkle steaks with a combination of Peppered Bacon Salt and garlic powder, then finish with a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper. Pat into steaks and let the steaks sit covered and unrefrigerated for approximately 1 hour.
Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat; turn oven to 375 degrees F. Add 2 tablespoons butter and let foam. Add the steaks and cook for 4 minutes per side. You should get a nice sear on each side. Remove the steaks and put them in the oven on an oven proof platter or casserole dish.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the shallots and cook for about 1 minute until they soften, then add the wine and thyme. Raise the heat to high and let most of the sauce bubble away. Reduce heat to low. When the steaks are close to cooked – 140 degrees F at their thickest point – remove the steaks from the oven and let sit for 2 minutes. Toss the steak in the pan with the sauce, and then serve with a coating of the red wine sauce. You can also add a dash of Peppered Bacon Salt at the end.

2014 Xstar - Help spec'ing audio system
She will be here next weekend and I've been trying to come up with a few ideas for the sub system on the new boat. Some background...
In my previous x45 I had 2 JL W6v2 subs powered by a JL slash 1000/1 in a ported box behind the observer seat. The bass was great, and powered through seat well, and was pretty insane when I cracked the seat to let more air out. I used the two stock batteries, and a kinetic 800 power cell in line just before the slash amp and never had any power issues, even when playing for hours with the engine off.
The new boat will come with three JL HD 600/4 amps to power the 6 cockpit speakers, and 4 tower speakers (all JL M770s) with two channels off one of those amps to power the stock sub. I'm leaning toward two JL w6v3 subs again powered by an HD 1200/1 amp, but unsure of the box design, location, etc.
- What is the optimum power setup for these 4 HD amps? similar to what I did in the X45 or should I be adding more batteries in addition to the power cell on the sub amp?
- Location for subs? perhaps one under the glovebox, one under the driver dash? both in the observer compartment as I did before?
- I will have sacs plumbed in the coffin and ice chest location so that limits the space options. Perhaps putting one of the subs in the factory sub location (with box) is an option.
- Best signal to use from an android phone? Boat will have the Fusion bluetooth option but bluetooth quality is questionable. Perhaps the Fusion uni-dock is an option, but not sure if the xstar has capability to control the fusion head unit from the helm.
Any suggestions, or advice from the gurus?
2014 X-Star 7.4L
Xstar can control fusion from the driver seat. I personally would put a single sub in a box to replace the stock sub. Having it radiate into an open area instead of under a seat makes a huge difference in musical output.
I'm also not a fan of having subs in different sides of the boat and putting a second sub under the observer seat essentially becomes a boat shaker and doesn't add any musicality to the system.
Since it sounds like there's not any budget concerns I'd go with a 10W7 powered by a HD750/1. If you wanted some extra output you could put it in a ported box built to JL specs, but I'd just put it in a sealed box.
I actually have this an an option, but it will kill the cooler location. Not sure how I feel about that.
2014 X-Star 7.4L
Any other ideas sub locations? cooler location wont work, w6 is too deep and won't fit. port coffin is no option either as there lies a hard piped surf sac. Throw any ideas out guys, no matter how wild.
2014 X-Star 7.4L
take out existing sub and put the sub behind it. use the hole as a port!
2016 X30-Wetsounds galore
2017 Misty Harbor Tri-Toon
1985 S&S- Gone but never forgotten
Ok, so this is only to tell you what I'm doing in my '14, but first I have a question:
Are you sure the boat came with three 600/4 amps? I asked the dealer 6 times and they told me it comes with two?
Anyway, I'm putting a 13w7 in a ported box under the observers seat powered by a HD1200/1 with its own separate level. I get the whole "it's not as good as if it were directly radiating into the cabin" talk...and that is correct, but unless you are cool with cutting up your boat, (which I am not) there really isn't a better option.
Now for why i believe my sub placement will kick *** in the grand scheme of the system what i I am doing to the rest of the boat is as follows:
-bridging the two 600/4 amps that come with the boat to deliver 200W to each of the in boat speakers this will give a ton more mid-bass in the cabin.
-powering the towers separately with a HD750/1
-adding additional amp for the 10" free air that comes with the boat, I forgot what I got there but I believe I will be giving it 200-300W.
-batteries, ok maybe this is overkill but I'm going with a completely separate bank hooked only to the sound system of two Lifeline 8D's that will give me about 520aH. More than enough for running 6-8 hours continuous at sand bar/party cove at concert levels without clipping. (Not that I would ever do such a thing...but the capability is there, who wants the party to end at the most in opportune time?)
So when I'm rafter off, yes I two will pop the observer seat to let some more sound out if it calls for it...I don't mind that. Boat will sound awesome without doing that and redonkulous when I do. My '07 had similar set up, but only about 1700 rms and only about 150aH of batteries, this will have over double the rms and triple the batteries. Only bummer is I will have to shore charge the bank, but not a big deal since it sits on a lift each night with power at the dock.
Not sure if this helps, but good luck & let us know what you decide to do to yours!
Happy New Year!
Btw, I'm taking the factory tour next Friday to watch my new rig go though its last day of build, I'm super excited! I actually have talked to the factory guys about this specific question & was going to chat with them there about a "really big" stereo option would look like from the factory. Three years ago when I spec'd out my new Bennington pontoon, they didn't have anything but a crappy Kicker option, I expressed my opinion to the factory guys that they have a great boat but poor choice in speaker components for that level of boat...now not that I made a difference, but somebody listened and you can get a very nice Wetsounds system in Bennington boats now...too late for me though, I upgraded to all JL.
The boat comes with 2 M series amps (M600/6). I had my dealer replace them with 3 MHD 600/4 amps. Let me tell you the sound from the JL 7.7's was night and day. The stock amps severely under power the cabin and tower speakers, and are just not the quality level of the HD amps. But you have to be careful with where you set the gains cause the HD amps are very powerful and can toast the 7.7 coaxials. I have mine set at ~40%.
If you are going with the HD amp for the tower, you should use the HD 600/4, that 750/1 is overkill for JL tower speakers (assuming you'll have 4 tower speakers) and more designed for a sub (although it is full range).
I'm disconnecting the stock sub, as it will not add anything to what I'm doing in the way of subs. I tried what you are suggesting on my last boat, but let's face it, those subs are junk when comparing to the W6/W7.
Right now I'm leaning toward the two W6s under the observer seat in a custom ported box, possibly with the port matching up to a vent that I will cut in the fiberglass wall beneath the observers seat. The reason why I wanted to get away from the whole under the seat thing is that with the highly powered 10 coax speakers, the bass may not be enough. Those things are straight screaming with the HD amps.
Also, I did what you are planning with the W7 in my previous X45. I ended up trading the 1 W7 out for 2 W6's as the sound was greater from the added surface area of two subs rather than one. Granted, my w7 was sealed, vs ported 2 w6s. Just food for thought.
2014 X-Star 7.4L
2014 X-Star 7.4L
It's all about surface area...I assume the W6's are 10" each?. I debated about what to power the towers with, but David (formerly from Earmark) assured me that would be a great option. As far as the bass goes, I figure I will have to play around a bit, but this should be a good start. I had the 13W7 powered by a750/1 before and it was amazing...the 1200/1 should allow it to reach its full potential. I'm blessed that budget for fun stuff like this isn't a major issue so if I have to upgrade later that is what I'll do, i just want to get it right. I may end up pulling the 13 and put it in the new tow rig, then cutting up the hull to open to the cabin and do a double 10 or 12W7 deadpan box in the coffin or where the cooler is.
I totally agree that MC under powers there stuff badly from the factory. I went over my proposed system with a JL tech and he concurred I should be happy, his only advice was have a whole lot of aH's on tap.

Hated stocks finally get some hugsAugust 3, 2012: 12:18 PM ET
It's been a good week for heavily shorted stocks reporting earnings. I wrote (and did a video) Thursday about how Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) surged despite poor guidance.
First Solar (FSLR) was another company that popped on earnings news even though there are still many economic headwinds in the U.S. and Europe facing the maker of solar panels. That made it Thursday's Stupid Stock Move of the Day.
On Friday, it was OpenTable (OPEN) that, uh, turned the table on short sellers.
OpenTable's results topped forecasts, pushing shares of the online reservation company up nearly 20%. But many traders are still skeptical about the company's prospects. OpenTable, like Green Mountain and First Solar, may be experiencing a bigger leap than it should due to earnings.
That's because investors who shorted the company may merely be rushing to buy the stock en masse in order to avoid a big loss. That's known as a short squeeze. Remember that even though short sellers are bearish about individual stocks, they still have to buy the stock back eventually to cover their position.
There's nothing to prevent short sellers from going after OpenTable again. And based on some of the comments from traders on StockTwits, that might very well happen.
PAAResearch: 5% YOY growth in diners seated/restaurant at $OPEN spells MATURITY
herbgreenberg: "@ActAccordingly: All the signs of maturation are here, $OPEN has held back OPEX for as long as possible. Underlying metrics are weak"
TMTanalyst: $OPEN is ripping - guess people are still eating out (for now)
People may still be eating out. But the sluggish economy does appear to be taking its toll. And if lower-priced dining options like Starbucks (SBUX) and Chipotle (CMG) are starting to report slower growth in the U.S., that may be bad news for higher-end restaurants that use OpenTable's services. Plus, OpenTable didn't necessarily have a "good" quarter. It just beat forecasts. Sales were up. But profits were down. That's a bad equation.
Now to be fair, even a stock that's almost universally loathed by investors deserves to go up on good news. And OpenTable, Green Mountain and First Solar did show some encouraging signs to satisfy the bulls.
Shorts aren't always right. Another big squeeze occurred with online jewelry retailer Blue Nile (NILE). It surged 35%, prompting me (thanks to some trusty Twitter followers) to make that Friday's Stupid Stock Move of the Day!
But the shorts often are on the money. And the sad case of RadioShack (RSH) last week is a clear example of that. "The Shack" is one of the most heavily shorted stocks on Wall Street. And the electronic retailer's shares continued to plunge last week after woeful earnings. And at the end of the day, stocks that are shorted could be very volatile because investors aren't sure what the right price should really be as shorts and longs wage war.
@CreateCapital: $OPEN is up 20% because nobody knows what its worth
Good point. But we do the stock is now valued at 25 times 2012 earnings forecasts. That's a lot lower than where it used to trade. But it may still be too much for a maturing business that may face increased competition from the likes of social reviews site Yelp (YELP) and Google (GOOG)-owned Zagat.
Reader Comment of the Week goes out to a college buddy of mine. I tweeted earlier this week about the upcoming IPO of Manchester United. My friend reminded me that the Man U owners also own a down on its luck football team in West Central Florida.
Too funny, Josh. And by the way, remind me to NOT take Josh Freeman and Mike Williams in our fantasy football draft this year!

Mitch Schaefer threw 3 touchdown passes
Quarterback Mitch Schaefer started the season on Canandaigua's JV football team and moved up to varsity before the second game of the season due to an injury on the team. The sophomore is showing his strength as a varsity player, having thrown for three touchdowns in each of the last two games.
Schaefer's big day helped Canandaigua defeat Greece Arcadia, 30-7, at Evans Field on Saturday.
"Offensively, we played well," Schaefer said. "Obviously I couldn't have done it without my wide receivers, they made some big plays for me. I couldn't have done it without them and my offensive line."
The quarterback completed 8 of 14 passes for 156 yards and senior running back Jaymin Ransom rushed 20 times for 93 yards and a touchdown on the Braves' senior day. Eli Bombard led Canandaigua's defense with nine tackles, Timmy Ryan added seven, Brendon O'Bryan added six, and Mitchell Fisher added five.
The Braves (4-1) have won two straight since their loss to Fairport. Canandaigua is on the road for the rest of the regular season with a trip to Brighton next week, followed by a trip to Eastridge.
The Titans fell to 0-5 with the loss. Arcadia quarterback Jay Green led the offense with 114 passing yards and Devon Smith caught two passes for 66 yards. Linebacker Marquis Ellis recorded seven tackles and Austin Heagle contributed one sack.
"I thought we were very competitive and played good physical football," Greece Arcadia coach John Lockhart said. "We never gave up. Our team showed a lot of fight to compete with a good team today."
Canandaigua took advantage of an Arcadia fumble early in the game, which was caused and recovered by Ryan Heeb. Six plays later, Schaefer hit Eric Munn deep down the left sideline for a 52-yard touchdown. The pass just cleared the defensive back and the wide out raced into the end zone. Brian Feldman tacked on the extra point.
The Titans' next possession ended with an interception by Braves lineman Connor Heeb, who stepped in front of a screen pass. The big senior ran the ball back 24 yards, which led to a 3-yard touchdown run by Ransom. Feldman's extra point made it 14-0 with 12 seconds left in the first quarter.
"I was kind of hoping he was going to score," Braves coach Jeff Welch said. "But it was a great play for him to have on senior day. He's had an outstanding senior year and has been dominant on both sides of the ball."
In the second quarter, Arcadia forced Canandaigua to turn the ball over on downs at the Titans' 10-yard line. Arcadia then went on a 14-play, 90-yard touchdown drive that ended with a 1-yard run by Nelson Colon. Noah Barnard hit the extra point with 8.6 seconds left in the half. The touchdown came on fourth and goal, one of three fourth-down conversions on the drive.
The Braves extended their lead after halftime when Schaefer found Patrick Coyne for a 74-yard touchdown down the right sideline.
A 21-yard run by Ransom set up Schaefer's final touchdown, a 6-yard pass to Feldman with 9:36 left in the game. Feldman kicked the extra point and later added a 34-yard field goal to close out the scoring.

I would like to offer another of my Sexual Enrichment Tutorials. This one is titled: Basic Sexual Positions For One And All!
I'm forever hearing from folks who need a little help with the whole sex positions thing. You wouldn't think this would be such a bugaboo for so many; but it is. Is it a fear of the unknown? Is it a lack of creativity? Or is it simply a "but we've always done it this way" mentality? Whatever the cause of this woeful lack of sexual know-how, Dr Dick is here to spread the good news that you can and ya oughta try something new every now an again.
We will be looking at several positions today — nothing too advanced, mind you, just some basic things you can try that might solve some of the nagging problems I hear about on a regular basis. And here's the deal — most people are up for at least this amount of sexual experimentation. And who knows where this little adjustment could lead? You may find that if you open the door to change by experimenting with a different position or two, ya'll could be on your way to lot of other adaptations in the future. And experimentation is the very best way to prevent your fucking from getting boring.
Ok, so we're all well acquainted with the so-called "missionary position," right? This is the man on top, woman on the bottom position, just the way god likes it. Or the way the Christian missionaries thought it should be when they discovered lots of pagan folk were having way too much fun with all those exotic positions.
Despite it being much maligned, the good old missionary position is swell if you like face-to-face fucking. And that's never a bad place to start. This position allows for a lot of physical front-to-front body contact including kissing. Lots of folks like this position because of intimacy it provides. I hasten to add that this isn't the only position that allows for face-to-face fucking, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.
The downside of this position is it can be a whole lot of work for the partner on top, while being really confining for the partner on the bottom. This is especially true if the guy on top is of the jumbo variety. It also isn't the best position for the woman if she's fucking a guy with a big dick. Men obviously love this position because it gives them easy access to their partner's tits. It's not so pretty good if he wants to get his hands on her clit. But since most guys have a fairly good idea what to do with a pair of knockers, and are often perplexed with what to do with a clit, this is fine with them. Unfortunately, this position can leave a woman woefully unsatisfied.
A couple could vary things a bit by having the woman sit on the couch, legs spread with her man on the floor on his knees. This way he could happily plug away at her without weighting her down. Also the guy won't have to balance himself with his hands while looming over his woman, as in the missionary position. This will free his hands to roam all over his partner's body. Just think; with a little luck he could actually stumble upon the woman's clit. And wouldn't that be a red-letter day for all concerned? This position can be hell on one's knees, however.
The opposite of the traditional missionary position is the "woman on top," or "cowgirl" position. This is a sweet position for a chick mostly because it allows her to fully control the speed and depth of her man's thrusts. All the woman has to do here is climb on her man while he lay on his back. With her legs to either side of his hips, she can easily access his cock for a nice hand job before she guides it home. Since she'll be able to move up or down his body at will, she can direct his dick at her clit and use it like a dildo. This is also a great position for anyone who wants to experiment with ass fucking. And all the while the man will still have free access to his partner's boobs, so you know he'll be as happy as a pig in shit.
There's also the "reverse cowgirl, which is exactly like the "cowgirl, only completely different. In the reverse cowgirl position, the chick faces away from her man. He gets to admire and slap her ass and pull her hair. The woman, on the other hand, gets complete access to the guy's johnson and his family jewels. Women, feel free to give you guy's huevos a nice squeeze and don't forget to tug on them too. Men generally do this while they're jerkin off, so he'll already be familiar with the sensations. Ya see, most men get off on ball play big time. Once the guy is inside of the woman in the position, his wang will hit the back of her vagina as opposed to the front. Lots of women like this because of the very different stimulation it provides.
If you're lookin to stay with a more traditional style consider the benefits of spooning. It's kinda like the missionary position, except you're both on your side. Right away you can see the benefits of that, huh? He can still wrap you up in his big burly arms and even throw a leg over you for that complete sensu-round sensation. You can spoon face-to-face, or back to front. This makes for an effortless fuck. So much so that couples have been known to doze off mid screw in this position. Perfect for when lovers are too pooped for an athletic pop.
Then there's the ever-popular "doggy style," or "rear-entry" position. This is well suited to both pussy fuckin and ass fuckin. In this position the bottom will be on his/her knees face down, while his/her partner takes him/her from behind. The best part of this position is the freedom you'll both have to use your hands. If the woman is on the bottom, she can prop herself up with one hand and still have the other free to diddle her clit or grab her man's nuts between her legs. If the man's on the bottom, he can take it up the ass with relative ease. If the woman is on top she can grab her partner's hips and peg him with ease. If the man is on top he can hold on to his partner's hips with one hand and still have the other to manhandle her hooters. What this position might lack in face-to-face intimacy it makes up for in vigorous fun.
For a sweet gentle fuck a woman could try sitting in her man's lap. He's seated in a chair, or cross-legged on the floor, while she sits astride his lap. She can mount him face-to-face, or with her back to him. This position doesn't allow for whole lot of athletic thrusting, but it's fantastic for some delicious slow rhythmic rocking. And the top partner will be able to set the rhythm. Both partner's hands will be totally free to tweak one another's nipples. Or the woman could guide his hands to her clit and show him what's up down there.
Lastly, there the good old fashioned stand up position. This is particularly appropriate for those desperately horny moments that allow for only a quick, zip-less fuck. If the man is a strapping lad, he'll have no problem sweeping the little woman off her proverbial feet and planting his boner inside her. This will take a bit of balance and stamina, particularly on the part of the dude, but these overheated hormonally driven fucks won't last very long, if ya catch my drift.
Remember, you don't need to stick to just one of these positions per screw. You can mix and match and change positions at will. You can even make a game of it. One of you could decide upon the position while the other of you determines the type of movement, angle of penetration, rhythm and speed.
Now, go forth and be creative, why don't cha already.

This is the third module in the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) Project Suite curriculum. Each activity is self-directed by students or student teams and utilizes online videos, data from the SDO satellite and hands-on activities to explore,... (View More) research and build knowledge about how the Sun's varying activity impacts Earth and space weather. Each activity provides opportunities to build knowledge and vocabulary, apply or demonstrate learning through real world connections and create resources to use in investigations. Both a teacher and student guide are included with sequential instructions and embedded links to the needed videos, tutorials and internet resources. In Activity 3A: Sun-Earth Interactions, students gather information from online videos and create a 3D model to demonstrate the relationship to Earth's place in space and the affect of Earth's axial tilt on our seasons, then film a short video explaining the reasons for the seasons. Activity 3B: Space Weather, students use online videos to gather information on what space weather is, and its causes and effects, to create a concept map. They then use real-time SDO data to forecast space weather. Activity 3C: Solar Research in Action! Make a Magnetometer has students view information in online videos about to Earth's magnetosphere and the impacts of space weather, then create a magnetometer to detect and visualize changes in the Earth's magnetic fields to monitor solar storm impacts. A computer for student-teams and access to the internet are needed for this module. See related and supplementary resources for link to full curriculum. The appendix includes an alignment to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). (View Less)
