I never finished reading "The Denial of Death" by Ernest Becker because it's just too wordy and abstruse. But it's thesis is intriguing. From Wikipedia
"The Denial of Death"
The basic premise of The Denial of Death is that human civilization is ultimately an elaborate, symbolic defense mechanism against the knowledge of our mortality, which in turn acts as the emotional and intellectual response to our basic survival mechanism. Becker argues that a basic duality in human life exists between the physical world of objects and a symbolic world of human meaning. Thus, since humanity has a dualistic nature consisting of a physical self and a symbolic self, we are able to transcend the dilemma of mortality through heroism, a concept involving our symbolic halves. By embarking on what Becker refers to as an "immortality project" (or causa sui), in which a person creates or becomes part of something which they feel will last forever, the person feels they have "become" heroic and, henceforth, part of something eternal; something that will never die, compared to their physical body that will one day die. This, in turn, gives the person the feeling that their life has meaning, a purpose, significance in the grand scheme of things....Another theme running throughout the book is that humanity's traditional "hero-systems" i.e. religion, are no longer convincing in the age of reason; science is attempting to solve the problem of humanity, something that Becker feels it can never do. The book states that we need new convincing "illusions" that enable us to feel heroic in the grand scheme of things, i.e. immortal. Becker, however, does not provide any definitive answer, mainly because he believes that there is no perfect solution. Instead, he hopes that gradual realization of humanity's innate motivations, namely death, can help to bring about a better world.

Baby Boomee Retirers to Discuss Experiences with Researchees
I just read:
Researchers Leisa Sargent and Paul Evans are calling for recent baby boomer retirees to discuss their experiences.
Just why are the retiring people called retirees and not retirers, and the booming generation called baby boomers and not baby boomees? Why, indeed, is this silly construction "-ees" used at all, except where the person being described could be either delivering or receiving some action. If it is to be more generally used, why are the two workees who made the call here not researchees? When people do research, they are researchers, sure enough, and when people have retired, equally surely they are retirers, not retirees, just as those who like adventures are adventurers, those who announce TV shows are TV announcers, cowboys are horse riders not horse ridees, and people who have escaped from somewhere are escapers not escapees!
Where does it end? Will people competing become competitees, people dining become dinees, people walking become walkees?
Maybe I am typing into a computee!

I feel from experience that a persons attitude towards money speaks a lot about what that persons attitude in love and towards loved ones would be
1 A person who dislikes handling money usually dislikes handling relationships and probably frets too much over small issues
2 A person who is stingy about spending money over anyone but self, could be a person who cannot truly love anybody but self. In relationships the person may never be willing to accept a person in totality, but will allow or encourage only those aspects of the person that 'benefits' them.Such a person could show rejection if other aspects(unnecessary according to them) manifest
3 A person who is stingy even to spend on self, is a person who probably has or feels a dearth of love and affection in life in general
4 A person who spends without care probably fails to take any relationship to depth and just wastes energy in a whole lot of meaningless relationships
5 A person who wants others to spend for them despite being in possession of enough money, is usually a manipulator, who would manipulate the weakness of those who love them, so as to control them and have dominion over them.
6 A person who spends more on others than self, probably fears rejection and invests too much in others to keep from loosing their love.
7 A person who manages money well, saving as much as is necessary and spending on self and others depending on will, need, circumstance and propriety; usually is a tactful person and with good understanding of life and relationships and manages relationships well
8 A person who does not think of money, but only when it stands in front demanding to be used or invested,is usually a gentle soul probably capable of true love
As an after thought I want to add(despite the remote possibility of it being a prejudice) that men being inherently lovers of power and thereby money, may not hold the sort of love that women look for. I am reading romance novels currently and I find that only women authors are capable of creating the 'real' sort of lovers that are deficient(if not absent) in 'reality'.
Another thing is that there could be combinations of the above 8 types that could prove better or worse in relationships.Combinations can be of 2 or even more. 7-8 combination being probably best, 2-5 combination being the most difficult in relationship.

Late this spring, Iraqi forces fighting the Islamic State in Mosul discovered three unfired rocket-propelled grenades with an unusual feature — a heavy liquid sloshing inside their warheads. Tests later found that the warheads contained a crude blister agent resembling sulfur mustard, a banned chemical weapon intended to burn a victim's skin and respiratory tract.
The improvised chemical rockets were the latest in a procession of weapons developed by the Islamic State during a jihadist arms-manufacturing spree without recent analogue.
Irregular fighting forces, with limited access to global arms markets, routinely manufacture their own weapons. But the Islamic State took the practice to new levels, with outputs "unlike anything we've ever seen" from a nonstate force, said Solomon H. Black, a State Department official who tracks and analyzes weapons.

Deal Leaves Anheuser in Cold
Brewer May Have Missed Chance To Broaden Its Reach With AmBev
The king of beers just missed a chance to expand its domain.
The planned merger of Belgium's Interbrew SA and Brazil's Cia. de Bebidas das Americas SA, or AmBev, could cost Anheuser-Busch Cos. more than bragging rights as the world's largest brewer by volume. Analysts say the brewer may also have missed a golden opportunity to become less reliant on the stagnant U.S. beer market.

Dreamwork Online
Dreams are like good works of art, you can appreciate them but never exaust their depth. There is satisfaction in a good interpretation but there is never a final interpretation. Learn to understand the language of your dreams, not all dreams speak in the same way.
My approach to dreams has evolved over my 20 years of practice as a psychotherapist. I respect them. The dreams are as Freud said the royal road to the soul. For Jung, the dream image always had the final word. The dream's truth can be confirming of your life's direction.
Re-enter your dream and learn, be inspired, refreshed or transformed
Or it can be hard to face, expressing a desire that spells trouble for the waking mind! Some dreams don't care for your day-to-day struggles at all. If we judge the effectivness of dreamwork by material "success" we miss the point.
Success in life is subtle. You can re-enter your dream and learn, be inspired, be refreshed or transformed. Approaching dreams is like approaching nature. Nature offers different things depending on how you approach her. When it comes to dreams, are you an adventurer or prospector, an artist or a collector? What counts as success for you?
Use the dream to look at a specific difficulty you have right now. We look at the dream and we look at your story and your life now. A dream can have many layers of meaning. Dreams are like a flash light that we can shine on different things.
Step one in dream work is to write the dream down in as much detail as you can. Email is useful as you can jot down key words while you recall them and then fill in details later. The dream when written down may be a long rambling tale or it may be just one or two words! I recall a dream that was nothing more than a vague descriptions of physical sensations - it was the doorway to a virtual re-birth.
There is no way of knowing step two, it is always different. It may be that we explore one dream briefly or that the dream leads to a personal psychotherapy. We can do this effectively using email. You can get a sense of how it works by sending me one of your dreams and something about your life.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Reflections on the 2010 Summer Intensive
07 July 2010
This year's Ballet Idaho Summer Intensive had a lot of interesting students from Idaho, Montana, New Jersey and British Columbia, Canada. In a previous blog you can read what Madison Cole's mom said about their experience here in Boise at the Summer Intensive. Madison is going to be 12 years old soon and she comes from the same school in New Jersey, The Academy of Dance Arts, that Jessica Sulikowski came from. Jessia is a professional dancer in our company and I worked with her many years ago on The Nutcracker in New Jersey when she was a child. See how good training can lead to great things? watch?v=HKC1Kewfbe8 Madison was a real standout this year. But we had lots of others, too. Two girls came to us on scholarships awarded through Montana Dance Association. I was happy to provide them with these places as we're seeking to include students from other Inter Mountain states in our programs. It reminds us that Ballet Idaho is the only professional ballet company with an academy in the Inter Mountain West. All the students had wonderful experiences with familiar and new teachers. Heather Hawk, Racheal Nole, Jared Hunt and Phyllis Rothwell Affrunti are well known dancers and teachers here, but at the Summer Intensive they pushed their students farther than usual. Our own Ballet Idaho Academy students LOVED what they did for them, both technique-wise and in choreography. The guest students loved the special attention these teachers provided and worked very hard in some really challenging material. Jared's Jazz class was a HUGE hit with all the students. Racheal and Jared staged the "Garland Waltz" from Sleeping Beauty. Racheal knows a version of the original choreography and shaped it on the students at hand. She mixed several different levels and came up with a beautiful and cohesive work that involved some pretty striking patterns and beautiful steps. Everyone looked great at the performance on the last day. Heather and I staged the Fairy variations from the Sleeping Beauty Prologue. It's a beautiful scene, where each Fairy enters and bestows a gift on the infant Aurora at her Christening. The gifts are not the standard fare, they are attributes the child will take with her as she grows. The Fairy of Grace provides beauty of movement, the Breadcrumb Fairy provides that the child will never go hungry, The Songbird Fairy gives the child a beautiful voice, Fairy Violante gives her energy! And the Lilac Fairy gives her Wisdom. In Russian folklore the Lilac is a symbol of wisdom. We had two completely different casts for this scene, one of tall girls, one of shorter girls. They all did splendidly! I think the audience on hand was very surprised how difficult and demanding this material was. The girls knew it, of course! They worked very hard to perfect the technical requirements as well as the choreographic intent of each different quality. This was a good introduction for our own Academy students, too, because Ballet Idaho will be dancing the full-length Sleeping Beauty next season and we will be using lots of students from our school. It's going to be as big as Nutcracker! In the second week of the Intensive we had the rare privilege of having Nicholas Ade teach our students. Nicholas was a dancer in Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle and after a distinguished career, went on to become first a teacher, then a principal in their school. Nick is a phenomenal teacher! He's unique! He has a very meticulous and careful method of teaching --- at first his class seems incredibly slow, until the student figures out that he's probing deep into every muscle and bone to explain how technique works. It's exactly the kind of training I want to have here at Ballet Idaho, so his method really helped the students understand how their bodies are supposed to work. He explains everything so well, and he has great stories and he's really funny! The kids all loved working with him. After teaching a full load of classes, Nick coached the girls dancing Sleeping Beauty variations. His advice and counsel were invaluable to them and I think they all took a tremendous lesson with them. It was sad to see everyone go after spending such an intense and focused two weeks. We hope our students left with lots of knowledge, insight, eagerness to do better and a sense of themselves as dancers. I know they left exhausted but exhilarated! We hope to see many of them back next year. Thanks to everyone for all your hard work and dedication. -Peter Anastos

A community theater actress accused of covering for her former fiance after he allegedly killed two college students proclaimed her innocence during Tuesday's episode of "Dr. Phil."
Rachel Buffett, 25, of Long Beach has pleaded not guilty to being an accessory to murder after the fact in the May 2010 deaths of Sam Herr, 26, of Costa Mesa and Juri "Julie Kibuishi, 23, of Irvine.
Prosecutors allege that she lied to police about key details following the crimes in hopes of protecting accused killer Daniel Patrick Wozniak, 28, of Costa Mesa.
Talk show host Phillip McGraw zeroed in on alleged inconsistencies in the information Buffett gave police after Wozniak was arrested on suspicion of killing his neighbor, Herr, and then luring Kibuishi with text messages sent from Herr's phone to Herr's apartment, where she was killed and her body staged to look like she had been the victim of sexual assault.

I mean, who doesn't play 3 or more games at once?
Archive for November, 2017
Warcraft right now has their anniversary event going on right now, and part of it involves killing some old world bosses from the game after it first launched 13 years ago. But the time I reached this guy he was already dead, but I couldn't help but to notice the position he was in, looked like it was struggling to do a push up. Well, soon enough the guy spawned again I had the chance to kill him along with a bunch of other people.
So a pipe at my place feeding water to the sprinkler system came apart, so I decided to fix it. Well, things were going well, then a connection came apart. fixed that and found a leak, redo, and another connection comes apart. I used up so much and this what that one segment looked like till the whole things was redone, and another leak was found. fixed that and all became good. So tiring.
Well, this looks like it will be brilliant. The first movie was also really good. Also I remember recently there was news that Disney might be making a deal with FOX and the marvel characters they have the movie rights to might transfer over. Could this mean the X-Men and Deadpool will become Disney movies? I would like to see how that goes.
Doing a little shoot with the GF for testing reasons. I think it came out well.
Seems there have been plenty of claims about the legalization of weed. One in particular talking about how it's increased violent crime. Makes sense to me that such crime would drop because people have less a need to steal and they are less desperate to find other ways to get what they are after. No, it may not entirely be the best thing for health reason, but we all do all kind of unhealthy activities and consume such unhealthy products and it's totally legal anyways. Perhaps because it will cause fewer problems over all.
Maybe we should legalize the use of other drugs. Maybe it will also cause a drop in usage.
Recently on Facebook I reshared an old post about Thor, and a friend commented that she would rather have Loki. Well, gave me an idea that I should have came up with long ago. And now it's happened. I of course used a shot from the first Avengers movie, because it felt more fitting to me.
Thanksgiving hasn't even passed yet, but I would like the rest of this month to speed up anyways because November tends to be a rather boring month for me. Want it to be December so I can join in for santacon.
If you ask me, I think it should just be left as it is. It's not that interesting anyways, I've been there. I know there was supposed to be more work to be done on it, but there is reason it stopped, and I think Adam explains it best on why.
As for the claims about adding Obama on, I don't know of anyone agreeing to such an idea, even thought his supporters. Now the people upset about nothing want someone new added in when he hasn't even in office for a year. That a bit hardcore.
Sometimes when adventuring at night, you find an opportunity to get a nice photo you didn't expect to take.

That is certainly a unique idea. I like seeing the ingenuity of members, Would have liked seeing the video but it says it is unavailable. Is it public, I made that mistake once and the video was unavailable to others, I could watch it but others couldn't.

That is a very good idea. What model lathe do you have? How much of the electronics from the tread mill did you have to use? The video is unavailable to me too!
Can you post any more photos of the mounting and switches, etc?
I have a 15×38 Craftsman lathe and the motor quits when it gets hot. I have had it apart a few times but If I had thought of this I may not have bought my new Nova lathe( but I love the Nova). This idea gets rid of the Reeves drive monkey business!!

You gotta love free treadmills… not only do you get the motor and all the electronics to run it, but gobs of other great stuff that can be re-purposed. I've snagged a half dozen over the past year or two. Last one actually had a 2hp three phase induction motor and VFD!

Here's more pics . The sliding switch is original to the treadmill. Controls the variable speed the controls have a Fall Off diode whick means the sliding switch MUST be all the way up before the main switch is turned on. If it's not, the motor will NOT start. I made the control box to house the MB and other components. It has a 15 amp breaker/fuse, Main Power switch, and Slider VS Controller. I got the Main Switch from Ebay for $2 bucks. Everything else comes from Treadmill internals. You have to solder one circuit together on the Motherboard as well. I'll post a close up pic of that circuit later.

For the MC60, you can add a simple start/stop switch so you can stop, then restart at the same speed it was before:
It's also easy to wire for a forward/reverse switch.

Open House PortoArchitecture | 07 Jun 2017
2017 means, among a lot of other events, the third edition of Open House Porto. On the 1st and 2nd of July several spaces in Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia and Matosinhos will open their doors to make the architectural inheritance of these three cities known.
Casa da Arquitetura – Centro Português de Arquitetura, which is behind the organization of this event, foresees an itinerary of 60 places chosen by architects Paula Santos and Ivo Poças Martins, Open House Porto's commissioners.
Besides the itinerary, there will also be 'Programa Plus' activities, as in the 2016's edition, as way to stimulate visits that value families, accessibility and inclusion. There will be visits to blind and deaf people.
2015 and 2016 Open House Porto's editions had 11 thousand and 30 thousand visitors, respectively. The Porto's City Hall is an Open House Porto's Strategic Partner while Trienal de Lisbon appears this year as an Institutional Partner.

I try to keep an open mind and appreciate that everyone has their own opinion.
I understand, for instance, that some people are uncomfortable with homosexuality. I don't understand why they feel this way, because in my view there is nothing "wrong" with it - loads of my friends are gay, including some of my besties, and it's just not an issue.
But others have their reasons for not getting on board, often to do with their background, upbringing and/or religious beliefs, and I get that. Each to their own.
What I struggle with is ignorance. And ignorant-sounding people - like Wendy Francis, the Queensland Family First politician, who spat these statements into the Twitterverse over the weekend:
The rigid conviction and certainty that she has in stating that "legitimising gay marriage" is akin to "legalising child abuse" just... boggles the mind. (You can read the rest of her musings here.) It's uneducated, and ridiculous, and kind of makes me want to pull my hair out with frustration.
But instead, I'll take a deep breath and try to remember that everyone has their own opinion, and we don't all have to see eye to eye... and I'll distract myself with this cute website.
I can't wait for this election to be over!

Having lived in Montreal through the glory days of les Glorieux, and in the days of decline of the dynasty, I can testify to the exceptional brutality of its hockey pundits when it comes to losing. No one in Montreal has time for, or patience with, bumblers running their hockey club. This was as true in the late eighties as it is now. Even after the club improved dramatically in the last (short) season from the disaster it was the year before, the nastiness and the barbs were in evidence at once when the Habs went out sheepish-like in five against Ottawa in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Michel Therrien's post series rejoinder that despite regular season success much remains to be done was met with universal derision. Comme quoi par example, quipped one of the regulars on the popular TV show l'Antichambre.
In sharp contrast, when Ottawa went out
with a thud in the next round against Pittsburgh, getting walloped in the last two games, the local media had
nothing but lavish praise for the hockey club and its leadership's
accomplishments. And this in the face of obvious and long-standing issues. Even though the victory against the Habs was a
nice combination of grit, goaltending and gamesmanship (by Paul McLean) which
for a moment obliterated the holes up front, the desperate lack of offensive
talent on the Sens' bench became immediately and painfully in evidence against
a fast-skating, star-studded club like the Penguins. The spirit was willing; the flesh was weak. But
the Ottawa press corps would have none of that. By and large, the pundits lapped
up the Sens marketing script which asserted the club has much improved under the smart Walrus
and even brighter days lie ahead. And
yes, Bryan Murray is going to get a top-six forward in the off-season which
should make Ottawa even stronger
contender for the coveted prize.
Had the club been covered in Montreal, a howl
of razor satire would meet this rosy picture of the world in May 2013. Why ? It is doubtful that Spezza and Michalek
can come back to their former days' production. If Spezza's is the kind of injury
that all but destroyed Jagr's ability to skate, do not expect much. For one thing, Jaromir is much tougher fighter
than Jason. If Milan's knee is not rehabilitated – and one can never be optimistic
with that particular joint – he will not get twenty-five goals again. So, who else
on the club is a legitimate twenty-goals scorer ? Turris can likely do it – he scored twenty four,
mind you it was in San Antonio, in the AHL.
But yes, he definitely can do it with some talent on his line. Who else ?
Silvferberg might. Greening
might. Zibanejad just might. None of
them scored twenty goals in the NHL. Alfredsson
might if he decides to come back for one season. So the first thing that a Montreal hockey
pundit would have shot through is the totally insane notion that the Sens need
only minor fixes to become a legit contender.
But this is really nothing – nothing, compared to the discovery that this
state of affairs has developed with the club operating somewhere $20 million
below the annual cap. (It is probably close to $24M since Alfredsson's cap hit
last year was 3.5 million over what was paid to him) The club has not had a
forty goal scorer since Heatley left town. It had not had a power forward since Hossa left
town. And yet, the dynamic duo of Melnyk – Murray cannot seem to find spare
money to get some bang up front. Why
would that be ? The answer is very
simple. Why should Mr. Melnyk spend money on hockey in preference of his other
ventures (major soccer club, casino at the hockey arena) if the club is making
money with overachieving minor league cast led by a coaching wizard?
None of this of course would make the Ottawa
papers. The headline in the Sun the day after Alfie kissed goobye a former
Melnyk's mania ('Stanley Cup where it belongs – Ottawa !') and headed up for
Detroit, was screaming : ' 11 WINGS AWAY…But
in a BLOCKBUSTER deal, Sens give up Silfverberg, grab superstar BOBBY RYAN from
Anaheim'. (Capitalization preserved).
Again, a Montreal-bred hockey cynic would see immediately through the psychobabble.
This was no blockbuster; Bobby Ryan is no superstar(ranking the highest 28th,
on the NHL best players list in 2011-12, and having an off year last season)
and the deal has panic over Alfie's flying off the cuckoo's nest written all over
it. It is a takeover of a contract with
two years left on it for a current Sens No.1 prospect (already a top 6 forward), next year's
No.1 draft pick, and another young player.
This is a horrendously high price given there is no long-term commitment
in it. I would not be surprised if in the future I see Jakob and Bobby playing
on another team together like Zdeno Chara and Wade Redden in Boston, with the
same amount of equity for Ottawa
Senators – zilch.
Bruce Garrioch
(Ottawa Sun) describes July 5 as a day of 'agony and ecstasy for Ottawa hockey fans'. It's really neither. Despite the shameless propaganda there were
rumblings that Alfie was done in Ottawa in advance of his signing with the
Wings. The cries of 'shock and disbelief' ring a bit hollow. I am persuaded that given Daniel's value to
the club, not to re-do the contract in his option year and make him play for way less money
than he was worth, was an act betraying the lack of management know-how and
finesse that I have long observed with the club under its current ownership and
GM. Then there is the 'mysterious' tale of offer-counteroffer this spring. If it is as I believe - Barry asked for six (agreeing to drop two-year deal for one-year) and Murray offered four million - then the club added insult to injury. This
is not simply because Daniel Alfredsson even at forty is a fine hockey player,
a major contributor, and a greatly respected leader on the ice. It was
especially galling because of the enormous marketing value his long service to the club
and the community represented. I think it was more this than the putative yen for
the Stanley Cup (though I believe Alfie wants that also) that made him leave
Ottawa. The jump has "ticked-off" written all over it. Never mind the phoney "we were ready to write him a blank cheque". It's a feeble-minded attempt to re-write what happened.
And again, Garrioch seems too optimistic about the Ryan deal. If
he turns out to be a high-scorer on an underfunded (and therefore a
non-contending) team he will want out at the earliest opportunity to protect
his market value: the Dany Heatley scenario.
I think at this juncture it is the 'fifth estate' that can do much more
for hockey in the city. Get Montreal
mean ! Ottawa is not Phoenix and the
columns should not be written as hockey-ticket sales job for people who are
essentially strangers to the game. Right
now, the Senators will likely sell tickets no matter what, but eventually
people will tire of mediocrity, or even valiant efforts if they are futile. If you
want to compete in the big league, you will have to spend big-league money! People will not root for Ottawa Cheapskates ! This should be the message to Melnyk. And if
Murray does not have the touch to pick value for Melnyk's money, he should
retire. He's been at it for nine years, and his July
2013 'trading frenzy' scorecard describes his progress in a nutshell: one top-six forward signed for two years, two
top-six forwards gone for good and no sign of a proven offensive blue-liner to replace Gonchy!

Rohan and Theodan Christmas Eve 2009
Well this is what my two Thoroughbred geldings decided to do on Christmas Eve, the morning after a tornado had touched down about three miles away followed by flooding rains that caused their pond to overflow. Once they were let out for the day, they both rolled multiple times to make sure they were good and muddy before going wading in the pond. This was a cold day, though the snow didn't come until later that day. Apparently it was a good morning for a wade in the pond followed by their favorite gelding games where no one gets hurt but a lot of fun seems to be had. I am not sure if the goal was to rear the highest or stay up the longest on this day, but they both seemed to be having fun making the most out of a very wet and miserable day! In the photos, Theodan is on the left and Rohan is on the right. When I rescued Theodan, he didn't even have the strength or desire to walk to water even though he was desperately needing a drink, so it's wonderful to see him feeling so good these days. (Rohan is still in charge, of course, in case anyone had any doubts!)Read More

Location: Circle on Cavill, Surfers Paradise Blvd, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
Report by John
In November 2014, my wife and I took a trip to Australia (Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Cairns). Gold Coast was the second destination of our trip.
On the way back to our hotel, we accidentally found this pinball location - Strike Bowling Bar in Surfers Paradise.
The bar has a game room with a pinball - Scared Stiff (Bally, 1996) - as well as other games.
The condition of the pinball was acceptable, while the cost per a 5-ball game is only AUD1.00 (US$0.78/€0.72/£0.52). It is definitely good value for money. \(^o^)/
The bowling centre has a dozen bowling lanes and it seemed all the lanes were in good condition.

I'm so proud, and I'm so excited because I finally heard him crow! I thought he was broken or something because he hadn't crowed yet, but I guess not, cause he did! His pic is on my page if you want to see him..... https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=7060 The two pics at the bottom.

During the last few days, I have been frantically preparing for a pro bono contested divorce trial. It is the first trial that I have ever done, and I've been forced many a time to go back to my Bar outlines to figure out such basic things as rules of evidence and admissibility. Yikes! I'm having a mild heart attack.
I was up until 5 am last night, came back to the office at 9 am, and have been working around the clock today. All of this will be done by the end of the day tomorrow, but until then there's still a direct to complete, exhibits to identify, copy and mark, a motion to prepare, subpoenas to draft, and a myriad of other tasks. I'm freaking out a little because I want to do right by my client. We'll see what happens. Cross your fingers.
One thing I've realized is that Judges have a tendency to yell at attorneys, so I think I can handle that. I just "Yes, your honor" them to death. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of yelling and a lot of "Yes, your honor"s tomorrow.
One thing is for certain: After 5 pm tomorrow, I'm going to be doing some serious drinking. (Which for me is like 3 drinks. Any more and I'm under the table!).

All Sorts Of Things
RETURN OF AIR ERA?: OMW has reported over the past year or so that various economic factors have grounded local TV news helicopters for the most part in the Cleveland TV market.
Only Raycom Media CBS affiliate WOIO/19's "19 Action News" has been regularly flying its helicopter, a fact the station has promoted relentlessly on the air for about the past couple of months. "Action News" has taken to pointing out that while other stations are scrambling ground crews to respond to breaking news far from downtown Cleveland, the folks at Reserve Square take a few short minutes to send out a helicopter.
As it turns out, the "19 Action News" chopper is no longer alone in Cleveland's skies.
OMW hears that Local TV Fox affiliate WJW/8 and its "Fox 8 News" has returned "SkyFOX" to the air, and we hear that the copter is back in the air "at least through the end of 2009"...and that efforts are being made to return "SkyFOX" for 2010 as well. The aerial vision returned to "Fox 8 News" on Thursday.
We do not know if the copter WJW is operating is the original "SkyFOX", though we'd assume it is if the pictures being sent back to South Marginal are in HD.
We also have no word on if the airborne return will mean Pat Brady's return to the "Fox 8 News" team, though that would certainly be a popular move among viewers.
And we also have no word if Gannett NBC affiliate WKYC/3 or Scripps ABC affiliate WEWS/5 are considering a return to Air Power....
CONDOLENCES ON A LOSS: Being the wife of an Ohio State Buckeyes football legend means you have a pretty high profile in Columbus, and it means a lot of people are going to miss Stefanie Spielman.
The wife of ex-OSU star Chris Spielman has been waging quite a public battle with breast cancer since a diagnosis over a decade ago, but lost that battle Thursday at the age of 42. Columbus CBS affiliate WBNS-TV/10 has more in this story:
Spielman and her husband, Chris, tirelessly raised breast cancer awareness and helped form Stefanie's Champions, raising millions of dollars for Ohio State's James Cancer Hospital.
In 1998, at 31, a biopsy confirmed her fears, that she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the couple began their battle.
Without hesitation, Chris Spielman put his career on hold with the NFL's Buffalo Bills to be at his wife's side.
Since leaving the NFL, of course, Chris Spielman has maintained a very high media profile. In addition to his work as an ESPN football analyst, he's a long-time host at Dispatch/RadiOhio sports WBNS/97.1-1460 "The Fan". His current radio role puts him as a co-host/contributor to the Fan's "Big Show" from 1-3 PM.
The radio station has a very comprehensive page commemorating Stefanie's passing, and remembering her life, here. (The picture above is courtesy of that page.)
Public calling hours will be Monday November 23, 2009 at the Longaberger Alumni House on the campus of The Ohio State University from 1-8pm for those inspired by Stefanie's life and her service to the community. A celebration of life memorial service will be held Tuesday at Trinity United Methodist Church in Grandview.
Hopefully, the outpouring of support for the Spielman family will help them continue to raise millions for breast cancer research, and raise awareness for women and their families...
BROWNS BLACKOUT: The NFL's hapless Cleveland Browns avoided a local TV blackout of the team's recent Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens, thanks to a joint effort between the team, a beer company and the local TV rightsholder, WJW/8 "Fox 8".
(Considering the result of the game, maybe they should have just not done anything!)
But there's a Browns blackout ahead, as it turns out, that will affect parts of Ohio.
The 1-8 local alleged professional football team will be blacked out in Northwest Ohio for the game with the Detroit Lions, a consequence of the Toledo TV market's proximity to Detroit. The always-hapless Lions, also 1-8 this season, aren't doing any better at the ticket window than the Browns, and Toledo is a secondary market for the Lions.
This means that unless you're close enough to the Cleveland TV market to pick up Cleveland CBS affiliate WOIO/19, you won't be able to see Browns-Lions on Sunday. And a quick look at this unofficial map from J.P. Kirby's excellent "The506.com" site shows that not many other TV viewers are going to be, umm, subjected to that game.
The small swath of green means only parts of Ohio and Michigan will catch Cleveland vs. Detroit in CBS' early game. The blacked out portions of those states are getting a presumably better game, according to Mr. Kirby's site, Baltimore vs. Indianapolis...
HO HO NOT YET: We're still waiting for Christmas music radio format flips in Cleveland, with CBS Radio AC WDOK/102.1 "SoftRock 102.1" sticking with an early Monday morning change to all holiday music.
One of our readers notes that a Mahoning Valley station, like WDOK, is counting down to the holiday tunes in an online countdown.
It's Clear Channel classic hits WBBG/106.1 "Big 106.1" which is touting the Way to Holiday Music, soon.
The online countdown appears to be headed for the 12 noon hour on Wednesday, November 25th...we don't know any more than that.
The early entrant in the Christmas Music Sweepstakes in Northeast Ohio was Clear Channel Canton sister AC WHOF/101.7 "My 101.7", which has been pumping out holiday tunes since Monday afternoon...

I have to say it was a pleasure working with Dave Baron (Pat's former husband) and a chance to work later with Pat Brady) at Lost Nation's Airport. I first met Dave when he was a cameraman at WVIZ TV 25 in it's early years on Brookpark Road. When I left WERE 1300 and went to work for Dave and Pat's company, it was with great anticipation. I started studying for my pilot's license and being around the aircraft was a great learning experience. Dave and Pat were great to work for, however, there was a fly in the ointment, and that was the team of co-workers who were very unprofessional in their manner's towards me. I came from a team atmosphere at WERE NewsRadio 1300, and I expected the same from my co-workers - to work as a team, not as two jealous co-workers who made my job difficult. I got so tired of their bickering and negative attitude towards me. It really turned me off. Dave discovered the young woman working at a Dairy Queen - not much experience there. She also lacked the ability to be a 'team' player. The guy came from a small station in Cleveland where he was a board operator at a station that was 'rip & read' when it came to news - thankfully, I've forgotten the names of these two. Then again, I doubt people would remember their names in general. In any case, working with these two uncooperative miscreants became too much for me - I was really miserable working with these two. It took three times for me to quit before Dave Baron accepted my resignation. Two things told me the atmosphere was poisoned - one was I was supposed to learn how to do traffic report scripts and send them via computer to stations Dave Baron contracted with. The idea is I'd be able to be a 'fill-in' if the guy got sick - geez, common sense the firm would need someone to 'pitch-hit' during illness and vacation periods. Nope, this guy was under the impression I was a threat to his job security - guy couldn't see beyond his nose. Then there was the young Miss. Dairy Queen who thought only she should be the star-insider - when TV8's PM Magazine was shooting a feature on Dave Baron's company and its association with WERE 1300's Dave Baron, I was in a few clips monitoring the scanners and talking with Dave Baron up in the 'copter. Ms. Dairy Queen was upset because they were not filming her 'on-air' 'copter bit for a competing station. Unprofessional as it was she sulked in front of the TV8 camera crew that she should be featured, instead. To shut her up, the TV8 cameraman shot a few moments with the queen - but it ended up on the cutting room floor anyway. That was the last I could take of these two. I'd had enough. Like I said, Dave Baron and Pat Brady were great, I could just no longer justify working with two miscreants. However, Pat, I really do look forward to seeing you up in the air on the morning news at FOX 8!-) - Andrew, MALL727.net -

I have a Seagate external hard drive that we were using as a storage unit for the xbox one. This hard drive has videos and music that I had installed prior to our using it on the xbox. I didn't want to loose those files. we did not format the drive for use on xbox however now when i try to use the drive on my pc windows 10 the file box says unallocated. Is there a way to recover the files on this disc?

Hello kgbken,
Couple of questions if I may;
Have you tried accessing the data on any other computer.
How much data is there that you are hoping to recover (some free trial programs such as Easeus have a cap of 2GB before charging to use their recovery software).
How much free storage space is/was available on the drive previous to this happening.

i did try accessing from another computer and i still cannot read the disc files. My other external hard drives work properly. This 1tb drive had about six hours worth of videos from my go pro that i was hoping to recover . I don't know exactly how much file space, possibly around 200gb?

Testdisk does recognize the Seagate drive and correctly identifies the memory specs however it does not recognize any partitions. initially shows "no partition is bootable". When I run Testdisk quick search on the intel/pc partition it comes back with "No partition found or selected for recovery". I'm running the quick search on the Xbox portion and it continues to show "read error"
I read a post that referred me to Digiex website to download an Xbox One to PC conversion tool and that tool doesn't recognize my seagate hard drive as a XBox unit.
Do any of you have a recommendation of where I can take my external drive to have a professional attempt to recover this data. I am in Northern California.
Thanks for all your help,

Seagate does offer a Data Recovery Service through their website. I have sent my unit to Seagate to see if they can recover my Data. Cost is $49 for them to attempt to recover and $399 charge to have data returned on another hard disk. Charges will only occur if they are able to recover my files. I will post results when they return my drive. Up to 6 weeks.
Thank you for all your help.

The prospect of a Rolls-Royce production model touting a four-cylinder engine has moved one step closer to reality with the unveiling of an advanced new petrol-electric plug-in hybrid system by parent company, BMW.
Dubbed Power eDrive, the new system forms part of a extended range of modular hybrid drivetrains being developed in a performance-based EfficientDynamics engineering program at BMW's research and development centre in Munich and envisaged for launch on a limited number of BMW Group production models in what it describes as "up-market segments" before the end of the decade.
The new hybrid system aims to provide the sort of smooth yet urgent step-off performance qualities delivered by a contemporary battery powered electric drive systems like that offered in the Tesla Model S, albeit with an overall range described as being over 600km thanks to a range extender function, including a 100km range on electric power alone.
Revealed in a 5-series GT bodied prototype, the most powerful of BMW's new modular hybrid drivetrains uses the company's new 170kW turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder direct injection petrol engine in combination with two electric motors – a 150kW version of the i3's synchronous unit mounted up front in the space usually taken up by the torque converter in the car's eight-speed automatic gearbox and an even more powerful 200kW unit set within the rear axle assembly.
All up, it is claimed to boast a combined system output of 500kW along with a torque loading that, BMW engineers suggest, reaches beyond 1000Nm – figures that easily top the 338kW and 720Nm of the existing twin-turbocharged 6.8-litre V12 multi-point injected petrol engine used by the 11-year-old Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The principle behind BMW's Power eDrive system is a maximization of electric motor performance.
"The electric motors provide approximately two-thirds of the combined output, with the combustion engine accounting for the remaining third," says Franz Drescher-Kaden, a BMW concept engineer responsible for the new petrol-electric hybrid set-up.
Energy for the electric motors is provided by a 20kW/h lithium-ion battery mounted both longitudinally in the rear of the 5-series GT's centre tunnel and horizontally underneath the rear seat in a space ahead of the rear axle. It can be charged both via plug-in means and on the run using the combustion engine in a steady state mode. The fuel tank has been reduced in size from a standard 70-litres to 30-litres.
As well as acting as a generator to produce electricity, the Power eDrive hybrid system's petrol engine can also provide a performance boost with direct drive to the front wheels during kick down, in which all three power sources are used for propulsion.
Drive is nominally channeled to the rear wheels via the rear electric motor, whose reserves are sent through a multi-speed gearbox. The introduction of the front electric motor, which operates via the eight-speed automatic in which it is housed, provides all-electric four-wheel drive. This is further enhanced by the combustion engine, which also delivers its power to the front wheels.
BMW has not revealed a weight figure for its new hybrid system. However, it does concede the addition of two electric motors as well as the lithium ion battery pack and ancillary electronic management system adds handsomely to the kerb weight. Despite this, the German car maker says the straight line performance of its 5-series GT Power eDrive prototype exceeds that of the 330kW twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 powered 550i GT, which tips the scales at 2070kg.
Power eDrive is being developed as a scalable system with power outputs ranging from 190kW to over 500kW, according to BMW, which says the plug-in hybrid technology will be "a natural choice for use in up-market vehicle segments".
Among the new models in line to run the new petrol-electric system are future incarnations of the Rolls-Royce Ghost and Phantom as well as a heavily rumoured SUV currently undergoing conceptual development at the famed British car maker's headquarters in Goodwood, England.
BMW has also indicated Power eDrive could also be offered alongside traditional petrol and diesel engine options in its upcoming X7 – a new range topping SUV due for launch in 2017, as well as the next generation 7-series, X5 and X6.

If you are a man, you may say to yourself, "The walls still look tan," but if you are a woman you realize that they are now an appealing taupe color instead. This nook was never really organized after we moved in a year and a half ago so it was over due for a tidying up. Left side office, right side food storage. Best of both worlds.Happy writing Zach.

"Infographics everywhere: Visualization tools for the non-designer"
Information graphics (infographics) help us present complex information quickly and clearly. In an increasing visual medium like the web, a high quality infographic is exponentially more likely to be remembered and shared than text. But you shouldn't feel like you need a graphic design degree to create a killer graphic. This session will cover how to make an awesome infographic from start to finish: identifying promising data, finding relevant images, selecting a layout and color scheme and putting it all together with panache. We'll take a tour of the many visualization tools available to non-designers — like infogr.am, visua.ly, piktochart, Many Eyes, and yes, even Powerpoint –that can help you create a slick infographic that sticks with viewers, even if you can't draw your way out of a paper bag.

does it
taste like shit?!?!
I haven't tried it.
I would if I got the opportunity, but I don't think I'd like it from the desciption. Not particularly because of how it's made; but I imagine it'd taste icky.

Well, would you look at that. It seems that check-in start-up Foursquare's number-crunching methodology ain't half bad. It sounded strange when, over the weekend, Foursquare put out an estimate predicting Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) could sell over 13 million new iPhones based on local foot-traffic patterns; most of the time these calls come from Street analysts. In any event, selling 13 million new iPhones is precisely what Apple did.
That's a lot of iPhones
In typical fashion, Apple has announced its latest record for the iPhone launch weekend. The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus scored a 30% jump for launch weekend sales compared to 2014. This is how last weekend's sales compare with prior launch weekends.
Using last quarter's iPhone average selling price of $660, which has been fairly consistent after 2014's launch of the bigger models along with the new storage pricing structure, Apple likely had an $8.6 billion weekend.
Why 13 million is a little less impressive than you think
Not to undermine this accomplishment, but there is one huge difference between the 2014 launch and the 2015 launch that can't be ignored: China. China is an incredibly important market to Apple, but you already know that by now. Last year, China was not included in the first round of countries for the initial launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Those models launched on Oct. 17 last year.
In fact, that difference in China availability is also why 2014's launch sales of 10 million showed relatively modest growth from 2013's launch sales of 9 million, since China was included in the first round of countries for the 2013 launch of the iPhone 5s and 5c. The growth of 3 million units from 2014 to 2015 is likely entirely attributable to China. For instance, the iPhone 5 launch in 2012 moved 2 million units, and that was before China Mobile (NYSE:CHL) was an official iPhone carrier.
China's inclusion (or lack thereof) has a massive influence on the reported figures. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Again, none of this is to discount the obvious success of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Rather, you have to acknowledge this context when comparing the year-over-year figures.
Flat is fine
There's another potentially important implication here though. If China accounted for 3 million units or more from the launch, which is very probable considering the early indications of preorder activity, then that implies that the launch posted relatively flat organic growth.
While investors generally have an insatiable appetite for growth, the reality is that eventually Apple's iPhone business will peak in terms of unit volumes. As Apple defies gravity each and every year, this becomes an inevitability. Investors have to make peace with this idea, because it will happen, but that's also completely fine. Considering the sheer scale and profitability of Apple's global iPhone business, maintaining it is an accomplishment in and of itself.
Besides, it's not as if Apple is expensively priced for growth anyway.

this is good stuff
My OUYA game of the week is VERTEX BLASTER. It's like a Vectrex having Sex with Tempest 2000, the Baby would surely look like this
So many games, so little time...
Hi, thanks for supporting me by buying Diesel Racer 2!
Well I wanted to add leaderboards for OUYA since they don't accept my Amazon GameCircle leaderboards.
Kind of annoying since it seems to work and for OUYA I will have to use my own server.
Apart from that I didn't plan to update it in the near future. I was a bit disappointed with OUYA in this case because I thought I was gonna get paid but then I realized it's 150 bucks after taxes? Kind of odd.
I am also working on a new game(http://www.DragonsHigh.com/) so not sure when I will go back to updating Diesel Racer 2...
Above all that I didn't work that much on my own games lately, have been busy with my job and lack of motivation
Do you have any suggestions what I should add to Diesel Racer 2 apart from leaderboards?
(You can PM me if you want to not discuss it in this thread, or use the Diesel Racer 2 thread in finished games)

Actually I find the game itself is quite complete. A little more intelligence for the AI cars would be nice, or an option to shoot them! As I am a single player most of the time, I focus on this.
Beides, I would love to see the overall presentation of the game becoming a bit more beautiful (e.g. some more little artwork and fonts that suit better to the theme).
So many games, so little time...
So, last Friday I checked Super Mega Worm. I love this stuff. This is so wonderfully politically incorrect... great black humoured fun!
So many games, so little time...
Last night, I tried Bullet Waltz. This is an assault to your eyes and ears in the first place, but it's great fun. Check it out!
So many games, so little time...
Syder Arcade - this game is a BLAST! All shoot'em-up fans should try this!
So many games, so little time...
Didn't have so much fun playing a game for a long time, Joe Danger is a great timewaster!
So many games, so little time...
Keep up the good work!
