But Brodeur is close in 4th because of his longevity and durability while still maintaining as one of the best goalies in the league for such a long time.
After Brodeur, where do you place other modern goalies such as King Henrik and Rinne?

It is safe to assume that both Hasek and Brodeur would make their Top 10 by now, and they in fact ranked Roy higher in an updated list. I realize this is not gospel, but given the pedigree of the 50 people compiling the list (Al Arbour, Scott Bowman, Bob McKenzie, Frank Selke etc), there is no way Sawchuk - their top goalie of all time - would not make the Top 5.

At one time a reciever ran a "pattern" in football. They now run routes.
I should have taken better care of the deflated football...some of the autographs on it are, Roger Staubach, Dick Butkus, and Gayle Sayres.

The orange one. OK I had to look that one up. No, not a space hopper. I will give you this, it stays outside all the time. Keep trying.
On the pattern one, screen covered in ice is correct, as for the pattern behind the pattern, I call close enough. It is not pine trees but regular trees covered with ice also. Very perceptive! 100 extra bonus points, but you have to split them!
thanks for the response.

Why have the center pull left to block the end and leave the halfback on the middle linebacker. Are you setting something else up, or is that a standard play you use to run the ball a lot and you are trying to "influence block" the middle linbacker?

I was sitting on the sofa having a beer after dinner and heard my Christmas ornament spinning and thought "ah-ha! another pattern!" This was trickier to capture than I expected and I ended up setting the D10 to 'bulb' mode (shutter open as long as I keep the shutter button pressed) with a Mag-lite beamed on the ornament to illuminate it, and the flash on the camera turned on. I don't have a tripod short enough to be eye-level to the ornament, so I used a rectangular candy jar as a base to sit the camera on as I held it to focus (on Taz as he spun by) and then recompose so the whole ornament is in the frame. I hit the shutter button as Taz was face on and kept it held about 1/4 turn (a second or so - it's probably all in the EXIF information) and wa-la! Marvin the Martian is barely discerned in the port window.

QUINTA DO AMEAL Quinta do Ameal has won various awards and received coverage in the leading trade magazines. It is devoted to the development of the Loureiro grape variety, having launched Quinta do Ameal - Escolha, which is already considered as one of the best Portuguese white wines on the market. The wine, made using 100% Loureiro grape variety, is fermented and aged in new French oak barrels for 6 months. The floral character of the Loureiro blends perfectly with the wood aromas, adding to the overall complexity. Quinta do Ameal is already recognised as one of the region's great success stories. Gold Medal and Trophy 2000 and 2001 - C.V.R.V.V. (Vinho Verde Regional Viticulture Committee); Gold Medal 2000 Label Competition - C.V.R.V.V.; Best Buy Award 2000 and 2001 - "Revista de Vinhos"; 2000 and 2001 Best in the Region - "Revista de Vinhos". It is also available at the finest restaurants and wine merchants in the country and currently exports to countries including Belgium, Holland, USA, Canada, Spain, England, Norway, Austria, Germany and Bordeaux in France. The Ameal wines where also been recognised by important sectors of the international wine press, including Jancis Robinson (Wine of the week ), Steven Spurrier( Decanter-Best Old World White), Hugh Johnson, Guido Francque, Tom Marthinsen, Matthew Jukes, Paula Bosch,Wine&Spirits, Harpers, Washington Post, Finantial Times, Revue des Vins, among others. The Ameal vineyards are referred to in the annals of the Refóios do Lima convent, which were written some time before 1710. The ancient Quinta do Ameal is situated in one of the oldest parishes in Portugal, establisded even before the country itself (1143). Quinta do Ameal wine is produced in this sub-region of Lima, where the Loureiro grape variety is at its most aromatic and tasty. The wine is characterised by its freshness and youth, possessing a floral and fruity aroma. The whole production process is closely controlled and monitored with the different phases taking place under the watchful eye of experts who are responsible for areas including oenology and viticulture. There is a meticulous selection of grapes, with fermentation at controlled temperatures, automatic rinsing, bottling and labelling and a constant use of the best possible methods or production equipment (e.g. pumps for whole grapes and a pneumatic press). Quinta do Ameal boasts a rich environmental heritage and, in addition to its vines, it is notable for its stunning woodland, which contains oak-trees, walnut-trees and centuries-old stone pines, forming an area of outstanding natural beauty next to the banks of the river Lima. It is considered to be property with exceptional agricultural and ecological potential, as well as an area of historical significance. Today, it is recognised as one of the producers of Portuguese Loureiro varietal wines that is most involved in and responsible for the development of this grape variety. Read less

I have been a UVerse customer for 2 years now. I pay good money for the highest cable package level with all the trimmings. When I orginally moved to my current home there was an issue where I was going to go with comcast because uverse could not install my internet and other services for 2 weeks. I explained to them how this was a big issue for me because i am a remote employee who works from my home and they went above and beyond to obtain me as a customer by finding someone to install my services on the day I moved in. Over the course of the 2 years having the services i find then unparalell. Comcast cannot even come close.
Here is my issue and major disapointment with ATT Uverse. I am moving again on September 7th. So I contacted ATT early last week to set up the move thinking just under 2 weeks should be enough lead time for any large cable provider to accomodate an installation of services for a faithful customer who is trying hard to continue being a customer. However, this time that has not been the case. They have not made any effort to accomodate my need for my services to be restored. my job depends on me having my services restored the first day of my move. I attempted to resolve the issue on my on by moving my move in date to be the date of the install but was unable to work this out. I had asked for a supervisor to call be to explain the issue to them but they never called so I cancelled the request for a manager when I thought it was resolved of my own doing. I also have spoken to the office of the rep who administers the accounts in my apartment complex and they told me they have no access to the system for install scheduling. I emailed a customer service email and got no response. As a contingency I have scehduled an installation with Brighthouse cable to get service on the first day even though I really have no desire to switch to them. If Uverse doesnt resolve this i will be forced to switch. Its really disappointing to me that they are willing to roll out the red carpet and put on a dog and pony show to get me as a customer but now that they already have me they couldnt care less if I stay or go because they have already gotten what they need from me. Really disoppointing that I will have to move to a service I dont really want all because Uverse doesn't care about me as a customer. I understand there are limitations to any business but If you are a large company you REALLY want me to believe you need a months turn around to install services that comast is able to turn on remotely if you have the equipment and infastructure is already there. I am pretty sure I will get no response to this but it was worth a try. Oh well, I guess such is corporate America
Hello, lynnmark2007! Thanks for posting!
I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulties with your U-verse installation date. We can get you in touch with our team of managers, and they will do everything they can to help you out. Just send a private message to ATTCustomerCare by clicking here. Be sure to provide your name, phone number, email address, and the best time to reach you. It might be a good idea to include an alternate phone number, just in case. Please keep in mind that it may take up to two business days to receive a reply, and there simply may not be an earlier installation date available. However, this team is awesome and will work very hard to get your installation date moved.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to send me a private message!
Thanks, Mariana. I appreciate your response. I hope they can help me. I hope they can atleast turn my internet on remotely or something. I can live without tv for a week I just need internet so that I can work. If they can't move the date or turn on the internet I will have to switch providers which will suck for me. Thanks a lot for this information.
I well, I've talking to 5 people who were very nice, No bad reflection on the people I spoke to is intended by the comments I am about to make. not once did any manager call me direct or did give the employees that spoke to me any solution for me. so I can now draw the conclusion that ATT Uverse is more interested in gaining huge numbers of new customers but could care less about the existing ones. I was going out of my way to continue to be a customer but UVerse put up no effort to do the same. I would have settled for at least my internet being turned on the first day or something. I was even told that if I cancelled and opened a new account at my new address they would most likely be able to accomodate my move in date. Which made no sense whatsoever. So I will say that I love your products more than any other providers and wanted desparately to continue to use and pay for those services, but this obviously was not important to you. I scheduled a move on the 27th. If you can't provide an install in a 10 day turnaround and require almost 20 days than in my opinion you have a serious issue you need to look into. I think 10 days is a reasonable time frame for me to expect you to be able to provide installation of my services. I called Comcast, Brighthouse and Direct TV yesterday just to see what they would say. They all said they could provide me with a saturday install with a 3 day turn around. So as of Saturday I will now ever so reluctantly be a Brighthouse Cable subsciber. If you would like to who the sales and marketing person was that sold me on Brighthouse, their name is ATT UVERSE. Very disoppointed. For someone to pay you $250 a month for 2 years and have you not care to keep them it begs the question do you truly care about any of your customers? For the record I am not complaining to get something free, i dont want discounts and debit cards. I just wanted my services turned on in a reasonable time. I work from home and would have settled for just my internet. instead I kind of just recieved an "i dont know what to tell you" vibe. Your commercials about moving services that make it sound as if its going to be so simple should let tell the truth that while you can move the equipment, your services may not be reconnected in the near future.
Thanks for your thoughts. I agree giving ATT more lead time would have been better but it unfortunately not possible. I would think even you, despite knowing the inner workings of ATT would expect that a large company would have the ablity to find a way to get your service installed in a 10 day time frame. Especially when its an apartment and the bulk of the infastructure is already in place. However, it is not true that most people know 30 to 60 days before you are planning to move. That is really a relative situation that is it not so easy to apply an arbitrary stat to.
Also, If you company recommends you to schedule moves 30-60 days prior, ATT should make is known in the commercials where you make the move process sound so easy, or somewhere prominate on the att.com\move site. It was not to my knowledge. If I missed this recommendation, which is totally possible, please point out my oversight. Lastly, I said nothing about your company bumping another clients appointment to perform my installation. I would think ATT would have some sort of process in place at the off change someone has a scenario such as I do. I would never want you to take away someone else's installation to accomodate me but I can guarantee the install guy with be in my complex saturday with enough time to squeeze in one more reactivation. I understand your guys may be streched thin. I am glad to hear It is something your company is working on and that the time frame has been shortened. There was effort made on my behave which i do appreciate but however to say that ATT "Went the extra mile" or "exhausted every option"would be disingenuous to say the least. I've seen what companies who intend to keep a customer do and this was not it. Again, I appreaciate the efforts that were given.
I attempted the temporary install route with another company but unfortunately the providers in my area all require contracts that prevent me from using that option. Thanks for your thoughts
Ok I have to say. Spoke with someone else and while they werent able to get me what I need I do now feel comfortable that Uverse went to extra mile to try and find a solution. I have to go with another provider but at least you guys tried. thats all I wanted. Thanks
Kudos on your ability to be so lenient and forgiving of such a broken infrastructure. I haven't had to call AT&T for tech support until now, and I don't plan on letting them get away with such poor service quality. This is an obvious, at least to me, fix that they can easily implement at their call centers. Their structure is so broken that their efficiency is reduced.
I always chat with the techs that come to my home to find out as much as I can about their process and they all seem hampered by the structure. I already knew what the solution should have been, but I understand that they have to follow their scirpts so I help them along in order to expedite their ability to escalate the ticket, but when their system is so srewed up that the techs themselves tell me they can't do anything until certain procedures are followed even after the 4th tech is sent to my home, it's broken. They can't seem to escalate the issue based on the prior tech visits. This needs to be fixed. They wasted my time for a month and they've already tried to placate me with a month of free service. They should pay me for my hours wasted in diagnosing the issue for them.
AT&T has wasted my time and the time of 4 techs and numerous hours of call center time to "resolve" my issue. I had to ask for complaints on their phone menu to get a manager to finally escalate my ticket when they messed up my appointment and sent a 5th tech. This is just wrong. This forum is a symptom of what's really wrong with AT&T.

I hear you, willchen. To be honest I pretty much gave up and decided to be nice about it because I was gettting the air that they told I was being unreasonable to want the service on the day I want it if I call a company 10 days ahead of time. I thought that was reasonable, they did not so I switched to a new service provider who was willing to accomodate. I am calling today to cancel my uverse service. It is by far the least concerned I have ever seen a company be about losing someone. at the same time, i understand the people I spoke with had severe limitations based on, as you stated, a broken infrastructure put in place by millionaires who don't understand how the world works. So I refuse to say anything unkind about those people who did the best they could with what they are allowed. I was hitting a brick wall so I figured I would be nice and brush the wall off and walk away.
once again I have to be fair. If I am going to complain about bad things I have to say something when they do the right thing. I installed brighthouse serivces in my house this weekend and spoke to the UVERSE cancellation department this morning. Someone named Heather took my call and was genuinely concerned with the issue that I was having. She worked hard to make the issue right and show me that it actually mattered to them if i continued to be a customer or not. so my services are getting installed tomorrow instead of next friday and i was given an account credit that makes up for the cost I incurred for having to get another service temporarily. while it was a lot more messy than i wanted it to be you guys made it right and using Brighthouse's dvr for one day just lets me know your services and unparalel. So I am happy now. Thanks to Heather in Cancellations. She should be commended for how much she cares about your customers.
Good for you. I agree with you that many of the employees are top notch. It's the service structure that's a little bit broken.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Despite suffering from incurable brain cancer, actress Valerie Harper is back at work.
The UP cable channel said Thursday that Harper is filming a TV movie in Canada. Shooting began this week and is expected to end Aug. 11. UP said the movie, titled "The Town That Came A-Courtin'," is expected to air in January.
The movie, described as an uplifting romance, is based on a novel by Ronda Rich and also stars Lauren Holly, Cameron Bancroft and Lucie Guest. Harper portrays the owner of a bed-and-breakfast who is trying to help kindle a romance between the widowed mayor of a Southern town and a successful author.
"When I learned that the remarkable Valerie Harper was interested in working, I was so excited, because that meant she was doing well," said Barbara Fisher, programming chief at UP. "We are thrilled to have this iconic talent in our film and awed by her determination to live each day to the fullest. She is truly an inspiration."
Harper, the 73-year-old sitcom star of "Rhoda" in the 1970s, announced in March that she had been diagnosed with a rare brain cancer. She was told by some doctors that she had as little as three months to live.
Fisher said Harper was not making any statements about her health. Harper's representatives had no immediate comment.
UP's "The Town That Came A-Courtin'" will air in January, the channel said. It's being shot in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Storage space is one of the biggest money drains that people have.
Think about it for a second. What do you do with storage space? You fill it up with stuff that you don't have any consistent use for. If you had a consistent use for it, it wouldn't be in storage.
Most of the stuff that people have in storage should actually be sold on Craigslist or eBay or put in a yard sale to generate some funds instead of taking up space. Sure, there are always a few things that make sense to put into storage – Christmas decorations, older tax documents – but those items take up perhaps one closet.
That's only part of the equation, though. You actually pay for storage space.
Storage space counts toward the square footage of your home. The greater the square footage, the greater the cost. If you're using some of that square footage for storage, then you're spending a lot of money just to store stuff.
Let's say you have a 2,000 square foot home, but 400 square feet are being used solely to store stuff. If you compressed that storage down to 100 square feet, you could purchase a less expensive 1,700 square foot home and not lose a single square foot of living space. What you would lose, though, is a healthy chunk of your insurance payments, a piece of your property taxes, and a portion of your mortgage.
Not only that, you'll put some money in your pocket when you sell off that 300 square feet of stuff. That stuff could be anything from old CDs and DVDs to collectibles or pottery or clothes. Whatever it is, selling it will put money back in your pocket.
If you're struggling to make ends meet and you also have a closet or two jam-packed with stuff, you have a solution to your problem sitting right there in front of you.
First, go through all of that stuff and get rid of it. If you haven't looked at something in a year, trash it or sell it. If it's "sentimental," why is it gathering dust in a box somewhere? If you're looking at old photos you can't bear to get rid of, scan them and make digital copies that will last forever.
As you're clearing it all out, put aside anything that has resale value. Entertainment items almost always have at least some value. Collectibles usually do, too (though often not as much as you'd expect).
Your next project is to sell off all of that stuff you've put aside. Use eBay for the collectibles. Use Craigslist for the larger items and the functional items. Use yard sales for the stuff that doesn't sell on eBay or Craigslist.
This will take some time. In fact, it'll take a lot of time. It's a great way to fill up some spare hours, though. Every item that sells is another bit of space cleared out of your home and another few dollars in your pocket.
Once money starts flowing in, put every dime of it aside. Don't spend it (unless you're covering shipping expenses for selling some of the stuff). Hold onto it and enjoy watching it build up.
When everything is gone, you'll find yourself with a lot more space than before. In fact, you may find yourself with enough extra space that it makes complete sense to move into a smaller and less expensive place.
You'll also find yourself with a lump of cash. That lump of cash can be used to pay down debts or serve as the start of saving toward something big, like a house down payment.
Spring cleaning isn't just an opportunity to clear out your living quarters. It's a chance to earn some money, re-examine your possessions, and even look toward the possibility of more cost-efficient housing. Take advantage of it.

About Anthony Harris
This was farcical but he has stood down as consumer advocate for the talks and will no longer attend.
AS far as I know the internet blacklists haven't made it far at all and it has been pretty quiet on that front for a while from Senator Conroy's office.
There are reports stuff is going on behind closed doors but I don't believe anything has been prepared for a vote yet in regards to passing those laws.
I will agree with censorship Boards but that likes like changing soon as well and we may well be getting an R18 classification for games in the year future.
Even with all that i still believe we are a lot better off in Australia han USA in regards to freedoms and losing civil liberties. Although with the closeness our two countries have politically it seems anything US Govt decides our politiians seem to follow blindly no matter what the consequences are.

Guest Post: Jennifer Fox "The First 6 Tips For Launching A Six-Figure Kickstarter Campaign/
Last week Jennifer Fox shared with us her 22 year process to getting her latest film made. Today, she share what she has learned about aiming for a six figure raise on Kickstarter. Will she make it? Well, it all starts with you.... Make it happen. I contributed. And now she's giving back to the community -- perhaps you can complete the karmic chain and give to her. There's less than five days left!
The first thing everyone will tell you about a Kickstarter campaign is Tip #1: Reach out to your family. I must say this is not news to me. I have been reaching out to my parents all my life, long before Kickstarter. The older I get, the more I wonder if I could have lived such a high-risk artist's life without their support. To give you just one example: when I dropped out of NYU film school at age 21, after only one year, to shoot a film in the war in Lebanon, they didn't blink an eye. When I made a six-hour series on my sex life (and the lives of other women including those in my family), instead of disowning me, they came to the Sundance Film Festival and did a Q & A with me on stage. My parents always had a unique vision: My mom was a professional musician who loved art, film and theater, who would only give me blank sheets of paper to draw on as a child (no coloring books) – so that I would develop my creativity. My dad, who was a homebuilder and businessman, regaled us with the joys of entrepreneurship at the dining room table each night, the way some fathers talk about baseball. They succeeded in instilling in me a profound belief in my own creative vision, something that is very hard to teach. I often wish I could rent my parents out to my film students. In retrospect, that I am a film Director/Producer is just a neat amalgam of their passions.
My Jewish parents have a very hardy approach to life – neither of them has a penchant for wallowing in emotions (like I do); they are big believers in " good attitude". This has rubbed off on me despite my own tendencies. From them, I have learned that attitude and passion are what sell. I often hear film directors say how much they hate fundraising. The problem is that someone who hates what he or she is doing moves no one. From my parents, I learned to check my attitude when setting out to do something and if it isn't positive I try to reframe it. And if it slips, as it always does, I reframe it again. Granted this is a very American, Reganesque approach, but there are things to take from everywhere. If you are going to be a filmmaker – particularly in America – you'd better figure out how to find joy and creativity in raising funds. From my Mom, I love creating and directing films but from my Dad, I love the challenge of figuring out how to fund something that no one thinks they want – only to discover that it is what they need. Making films for so many years, I learned that you don't have to 'win' all the time, only a percentage. Every film that I have ever made has a drawer full of rejections. Perhaps I am negatively motivated, but those rejections often spur me to prove the world wrong. And again perversely I find this kind of fun….
Our team is now on Day 85 of our 90 day Kickstarter Campaign. There is a lot we've discovered and are still discovering. Like all creative endeavors, fundraising is a "process" that evolves and develops as you do it. Here are 6 of our top 20 tips so far. Some of them are about the actual work and some are more about what I would call, "psychological warfare", so necessary for the game:
1. Reach Out to Family and Friends:
Unlike what many will tell you, I must say that for me family (and friends) are more about getting emotional support than money, necessarily. It is very dicey to ask people you know and love to give you their hard earned funds. I had some friends tell me that they felt offended that I was emailing them about our campaign. Discussing this with them led to some very interesting insights about why I feel this is a democratic and legitimate way to support the arts. But I am not here to proselytize. I immediately backed off. In a way what they are saying is true: they don't ask me to fund their passion, why should I ask them to fund mine? However, that's not exactly how I see it: I believe that the film project, MY REINCARNATION, has a greater good for humanity and is a contribution to people's lives. Hence, it must be seen and is worth funding…
2. Build a Team:
Filmmaking is a collaborative experience, but so is fundraising. It takes a lot of brainstorming and thinking out of the box. It takes multiple skills that one person rarely has all of. Without a team you just can't get the traction and the reach into the world (see previous post). But also it helps with the fear factor. I don't know about you, but this kind of public fundraising scares the shit out of me. My team keeps me from losing it. Having a team is also essential for Tip #3 (and Tip #16 in the next post):
3. Brainstorm the Campaign as a Rollout with Different Phases:
Our team, Katherine Nolfi, Lisa Duva, Stefanie Diaz and myself, discussed how the campaign would start – rather simply – and how we would keep rolling out new facets over time. We knew this had to be an international campaign since the film's subjects are international and the Buddhism has an international reach. This meant that everything we did had to be done for the USA and abroad, often country by country. This included building email lists, adding new incentives, and creating regular new videos for our website, facebook and twitter that could be linked with our consistent updates on Kickstarter. We saw our campaign as having three initiatives: the web campaign; seeking out and approaching larger private donors to become Producers, and setting up "Sneak Preview Benefit Screenings" in key locations (so far we have held screenings in Melbourne and New York City). The screenings were part of our plan because we had a unique problem: we were fundraising for a film that was technically finished, but that no one had seen. We hypothesized that people might need to see the finished film to give it money. In the end, festivals also helped on this account (see the next post, Tip #8). But I also learned that the film's trailer was often enough for people as in point #4…
4. Make a Good Trailer:
Of course "make a great trailer" is common wisdom for any kind of film fundraising. However, MY REINCARNATION was such a difficult film that I didn't edit a trailer during the fundraising process. When I looked for funds, I always showed edited scenes assembled in a half-hour or hour format. (Probably why we failed miserably much of the time.) We didn't have a clear narrative for 18 years into the shooting, making it impossible to cut a trailer. One we finally cut the trailer, right before launching at festivals, it was rather easy to do because the story arc was so clear. Now I've been told by some people that they cry when they watch our trailer. It has helped many people to make a donation when they haven't seen the film yet. As our Kickstarter campaign continued, we wanted to add an additional fundraising pitch to our trailer, perhaps on-camera, like so many directors have done. I filmed myself speaking to camera while at the Singapore Film festival, sent it back to NYC and Lisa edited it. But, we rejected it. Quite frankly, we have been showing my face too much in our effort to get moving images up on the web (posting a lot of Q & A Videos from festivals). I feel it's the wrong message for a film project on a Buddhist theme, where I am beginning to look too much like a "Star." So finally, Katherine came up with another approach using testimonies from our "NYC Sneak Preview Benefit Screening" last week. She edited them this weekend and the new video for our campaign will go up later today, with just 5 days left to our campaign (so check back on our Kickstarter site this afternoon to see the new video live).
5. Craft your Kickstarter Pitch Carefully:
Our team started by looking at the best-written pitches we could find on KICKSTARTER and basically mimicked their format. We liked the ones that explained everything, including how KICKSTARTER works. Since we were reaching out internationally and to an audience that was not in the arts, we felt this explanation necessary. Then we had to carefully frame why the film was still looking for money when it was technically finished. We made the explanation general, instead of giving a precise cause (which I am not sure was the right tactic in retrospect). Then we tried to turn a negative – that the film was finished – into a positive: this was a no risk venture because the film was already guaranteed distribution all over the world. We just had to find the last chunk of funds to pay for its costs before it could be delivered to television and other markets. This is very difficult to talk about simply because you are fighting people's misconceptions about the film business and money, which come from Hollywood Blockbusters. They think films make big money – and get paid big money in distribution, which is not the case for documentaries (see my previous post).
6. Incentives:
Since you can't really put many images on your own Kickstarter page, Stefanie created a full brochure of pictures of the Kickstarter incentives on our MY REINCARNATION website so people could see what they were getting. She used the PBS pledge images as her model. We gathered a mixture of incentives, some Buddhist oriented and some film community oriented. One thing that we did very early on, even before the Kickstarter campaign began, was to offer a "Limited Special Edition Pre-Release DVD" for sale on our website at a very high price: $108. This DVD is a 'vanilla version' without extras or multiple language subtitles. We started to sell this a good six months before our Kickstarter campaign to help keep our office running during the festival release. When we put up the Kickstarter, we decided to offer the DVD in two ways: the Commercial DVD in 2012 at $25 and the Limited Special Edition Pre-Release DVD in September 2011 at $108. This has been our most successful incentive. For higher priced items, I raided anything I could find in my home: there are two of my own museum quality paintings by a very well known Buddhist Painter (one is sold and one still remains so far) and a beautiful antique Tibetan chest that my parents gave me (which I asked them first if I could sell, guess what they said?), still available. I even put up a limited edition watch I received from being on the Zurich Film Festival jury last year (gone). Basically nothing I own was off limits. It's been a great Buddhist teaching to struggle with – and let go of – my attachment to my objects (that chest is one of my favorite possessions)!
What we learned for MY REINCARNATION is that the Buddhist incentives work much better than the film incentives. So far no one seems to care much about me or my career to purchase say a "Consultation with an Award–Winning Filmmaker". So much for my ego and 30 years of hard work!

text: The 10 Hottest Haircuts Now\\nNeed a new look? Find your scissor sister in one of these stylish celebrities.\\n__Awesome because__ it's perfect for a wash-and-go-kinda girl. Bonus: There's plenty of length for to play, too. The secret to this cut is keeping ends healthy. Make sure you stock up on a deep conditioner and apply to ends at least once a week.\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ Well, first you have to grow, grow, grow. But once you like the length, ask for a dusting straight across to ditch splits and dead ends. Get a gloss after your trim, too. You'll pump up shine so strands look healthy, not straggly.\\n__Awesome because__ it's a longer 'do complimented by chin-length layers. Supermodel Kate Bock rocks this cut. Face-grazing pieces are majorly sexy, but they're long enough to tuck into a ponytail at the gym.\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ Side-swept layers that start at your cheekbone. Keep them subtle, not chunky, to preserve a chic softness. If your hair is curly, make sure you get it cut curly and then touched up once it's straight to prevent renegade corkscrews.\\n__Awesome because__ it's gorgeous, understated, relaxed and undeniably cool. Actress Lydia Hearst's brushed-out waves and subtle layers help add movement to thick hair without looking overdone.\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ Long layers that start half way between your chin and clavicle and ends trimmed at slightly different angles. You'll add shape without any drastic measures.\\n__Awesome because__ they're bangs without bluntness. Kerry Washington's delicate features still stand out under her shaggy fringe. Plus, they're way easier to grow out.\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ Straight across, textured bangs. You should see the stylist making small angled cuts instead of horizontal chops—otherwise your bangs will be more flat that fab.\\n__Awesome because__ it looks sleek and pulled together with minimal effort. Need we say more? Just keep a flatiron on hand to keep your style polished to the max.\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ A collarbone-length bob with long layers, plus A-line if you like it a little angled. Make sure you decide where beforehand you want to wear your part because switching it up can make this structured cut look uneven.\\n__Awesome because__ this is the ultimate scrunch-and-go style. If you dig your natural curl patterns, this cut is easy to handle. Just wash, apply curl cream and let it air dry.\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ Layers! Getting a blunt cut with curls can lead to a triangle-top (eek!) Before you head to the salon, style your hair the way you normally do, then ask for a dry cut since curly 'dos are way different when wet.\\n__Awesome because__ you can wash, comb and go. SELF's March cover girl, Julianne Hough, kills it in this razor bob that looks best a little piecey and undone.\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ A side-swept razor-cut bob. The razor keeps ends uneven (a good thing) and helps thin out dense hair so it's easier to manage.\\n__Awesome because__ it's part sweet, part chic and all-around awesome. The key to this cut is that it's long enough to frame the face but not so long that it takes an hour to style every day. (Bed head is a plus, people).\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ A pixie that grazes ears and brows with layers. You want to keep this more shaggy than structured, so it takes less effort to maintain.\\n__Awesome because__ it's so bold. You need to have some major style chops to pull Miley Cyrus' latest style off. But if you go for it, this cut perfectly mixes easy styling (texture cream-gels are your BFF) and general radness.\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ The Miley Cyrus. Trying to describe this cut any other way will land you with a faux-hawk, but you can say \\"shaped and undercut.\\" Because hair can grow around half an inch per month, you'll need to get touch ups every four to six weeks to keep short sides from looking overgrown. Totally worth it for this badass look!\\n__Awesome because__ it has that just-blow-dried bounce factor. The lengthy layers of this 'do are perfect for it; keep a few rollers on-hand, and you can get this shampoo-commercial look every day.\\n\\n__Ask your stylist for:__ \\"Extended layers all over.\\" Make sure they start a few inches below your chin and extend down to around your chest.

NeuStar confirmed that its UltraDNS managed DNS service was knocked offline for several hours on Tuesday morning by a distributed denial of service attack.
"Early this morning, our monitoring systems detected a significant denial of service attack, which affected a small subset of our customers, in some cases for as long as a few hours,'' the company said in a statement. "While we continue to investigate the cause, the extent, and the duration of the attack, service was completely restored by 10 a.m. EST.''
NeuStar is a leading provider of high-availability DNS services to e-retailers including J.Jill and Diamond.com as well as high-tech companies such as Oracle and Juniper.
Competitor Dynamic Network Services blogged about the UltraDNS outage earlier today, asserting that it affected Amazon.com, SalesForce.com, advertising.com and Petco.com.
"We saw some funkiness starting over in Europe, and we were seeing that resolution for Amazon.com was failing,'' says Dynamic Network Services CEO Jeremy Hitchcock. "It looks like a pretty large outage that was affecting UltraDNS customers. It started this morning around 8 a.m, and for a two-hour period traffic was very significantly affected. Now it looks like things have settled down.''
Hitchcock said his company's Dynect Platform monitoring system saw heavy packet loss on UltraDNS name servers, with as much as 50 percent to 70 percent of responses being dropped.
"It's a pretty significant event to have that kind of wide-scale disruption,'' Hitchcock added.
NeuStar is a leading provider of Internet infrastructure services. In addition to providing its UltraDNS suite of managed DNS services, NeuStar is the registry for the .biz and .us domains, and it provides telephone number look-up services for carriers in North America.
NeuStar has been a leader in the push to deploy security extensions to the DNS infrastructure through an emerging standard dubbed DNSSEC.
However, DNSSEC doesn't address the problem of denial of service attacks. Instead, DNSSEC prevents hackers from hijacking web traffic and redirecting it to bogus sites. Denial of service attacks, on the other hand, occur when a hacker disables a website by flooding it with bogus requests usually sent from a bot network.

Cuchara's inspires with daily comida corrida
One of my new rituals is checking the menu for Cuchara's daily comida corrida lunch, a $15 fixed-price menu served in three separate courses. That's what gives this comida, or "meal" in Spanish, its corrida aspect: In a bit of kinetic poetry, the three courses are considered to be "running."
Comida corrida was a lifesaver when I traveled Mexico on a tight budget during my feckless youth. You could find the meal in a variety of restaurant types, but it always entailed a series of courses cooked in a homestyle fashion and served at a reasonable cost. Cuchara's daily menus stay true to that spirit.
The women who run the kitchen here may turn out fancier food at night, when the Mexico City-style bistro struts its more sophisticated stuff; but at noon, they produce soups, salads, guisos (stews) and sautés that make me feel like I'm sitting at somebody's kitchen table.
And, oh, the enchiladas that ensue at Cuchara's noon meal. I am beginning to think they are the best in the city: notably fresh-tasting and light on their feet, rolled and sauced and garnished to order, which gives them an interior Mexican (as opposed to Tex-Mex) demeanor.
So far, I've tried the enchiladas verdes, folded around a rubble of fresh white cheese, their emerald-green tomatillo sauce coursing with green chile and cilantro, then tamed with rivulets of tangy crema.
Another day, the same kind of crumbly cheese enchiladas got an unusual guajillo chile sauce fleshed out with ground peanuts, so that it took on the quality of a nutty, multidimensional mole. It was a spectacular dish - the more so for being so unexpected, so out of the mainstream of Houston's Mexican repertoire.
You get two of these glorious enchiladas on your plate, which is just enough, combined with an earthy lake of black beans plus a starter of soup or salad and a sensibly small dessert.
Sensible portions are part of the allure at this set-price meal, although I realize I am going against the grain of Houston's "the bigger the better" dining aesthetic by saying so. By not ladling out linebacker-size helpings, Cuchara can keep their costs down, which means you end up with an elegantly homespun lunch, served with care in an enchanting room, for the modest sum of 15 bucks.
Yes, I said "modest sum." The high quality, the captivating flavors, the beauty of the presentations all make 15 bucks a relative bargain, particularly since that price gets you a quart decanter of Cuchara's agua fresca del dia to see you through the meal. It might be the garnet-hued jamaica, brewed from hibiscus flowers, just a bit tart and edgy; or a gentler, sunrise-colored agua made from the season's first peaches combined with cantaloupe.
It's a luxury to be able to pour these beverages at will from a big glass bottle sitting on your table.
The comida corrida lineup revolves by the day and by the week. The menu offers several choices per course, which keeps things interesting and accommodates varied tastes. There's always a soup or two: maybe the pale chilatole with its creamy white-masa base and its sneaky, throat-catching serrano heat; or a mild sopa de fideo, its noodles and tomatoes and dusting of grated cheese all innocence, a pleasure out of childhood.
Although I crave the enchiladas here (enough to wish Cuchara would serve them at dinner, when the menu is more formal), I've liked everything I've tasted over the course of two comida corrida meals.
A salad of nopales (cactus pads), crisp apple and soft queso fresco came off like an ingenious south-of-the-border Waldorf. (I tired of its many raisins, though.) A dewy piece of snapper cooked inside an hoja santa leaf came meshed with bright peppers and fragrant with the sarsaparilla aroma that gives this big leaf one of its common names, "root beer plant." And a small wedge of Torta Azteca ribboned with ivory crema had the unexpected verve of a supercharged tamale pie.
For dessert, you can choose a fresh fruit cup or a small scoop of sorbet or ice cream. Dulce de leche is one of the custom-made house flavors. If you choose flan, a dense and creamy morsel will arrive perched on a narrow strip of banana leaf and swizzled with chocolate sauce. Maybe a half-dozen bites later, you're finished, and wondering why all the desserts in this town have to be so infernally colossal that they pretty much bring you to your knees.
I like the measured approach of Cuchara's comida corrida service better. The format and homey style bring a freshness to Houston's Mexican dining scene that is exciting and comforting at once. Indeed, swigging my agua fresca beneath the antic murals painted by owner Ana Beaven's sister, the Mexico City artist Cecilia Beaven, I felt the kind of joy I remember vividly from my first visits to Irma's back in 1989.
Like Beaven and her kitchenful of talented women cooks, Irma Galvan recognized the power of inspired homestyle cooking. By applying it to a Mexican oeuvre that in Houston tends toward a standardized set of dishes, these women have opened a very welcome door.
They may charge more than you'd pay for the time-honored lunch combo plate at your favorite Tex-Mex joint. And their food is worth it. So is the opportunity to eat it in two of the city's most distinctive dining rooms.

From what we've heard of the upcoming South Park RPG, it's in good hands. From what we can now see of it in action, that feeling remains unchanged.
A big batch of screenshots for the game showed up over the weekend, most of them showing what looks like battle gameplay. The whole kids-playing-dress-ups-only-with-real-magic thing looks awesome, and the way its being all video gamey but still retaining South Park's trademark visual style looks awesome.
South Park should be out towards the end of the year on PC, PS3 and 360.

CUSTOMER WIN: mobily Extends Relationship with BMC Software to Create a Private Cloud
CUSTOMER WIN: mobily Extends Relationship with BMC Software to Create a Private Cloud
BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management and Consulting Services ensure a quick implementation
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- mobily, one of the two largest mobile telecommunications companies in Saudi Arabia, is a regional thought leader in the optimization of IT operations. As such, it quickly saw the benefits of cloud computing and embarked on a major strategic initiative to fully implement cloud and automate its IT infrastructure.
After a thorough competitive review, mobily selected the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution from BMC Software (NASDAQ: BMC) because of its proven ability to deliver on key business requirements for the telecommunications leader. The company also engaged BMC Consulting Services to ensure a smooth and rapid implementation.
"As a longtime partner of BMC Software, we have been very impressed with the company's approach on Business Service Management and their best practices concerning the automation of our IT services," said Medhat Amer, CIO at mobily.
Haithem AlFaraj, VP of IT operations at mobile, added, "The use of BMC Services meant that the implementation and execution of the project was very well organized and efficient. Because of that we were able to manage all the required changes that arose during the implementation process itself."
The Challenge
mobily wanted to implement a private cloud that would automate service provisioning, provide an easy-to-use interface to encourage rapid take-up by end-users and ensure scalability for anticipated growth.
The Solution
mobily implemented the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution to meet these objectives. The company also engaged BMC Consulting Services, including its BMC Cloud Rapid Deployment and BMC Education Services offerings.
With BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management and supporting BMC Consulting Services, mobily:
- Reduced time for provisioning services from three to four weeks to 35 minutes
- Increased IT productivity by automating manual capacity management processes - such as provisioning - across both the physical and virtual data center environment
- Eliminated bottlenecks that delayed deployment of new applications
- Obtained quick, dashboard-driven access to data that enabled better planning for data center power and cooling requirements over time

It has been a while since The Killers graced us with there ever so delightful arena rock anthems, we have all come to love…. or hate (insert Sam's Town). Well, the boys from Vegas are back with their new album Battle Born and upon first listen, I can say that the production on the album fails to disappoint. While it is hard to trump Hot Fuss, which had a more dance/new wave feel, Battle Born seems to take us on a voyage from beginning to end, an album that seems to fit like a perfect puzzle.
With Brandon Flowers once again commanding vocal duties, it is his recognizable voice that carries the album. Joining him is Ronnie Vanucci Jr. on drums, Mark Stoerner on bass, and Dave Keuning on guitar. This is their fourth studio album that was recorded in their hometown studio in Las Vegas.
On the first track he asks, "What are you made of…?" demanding the chorus of the track "Flesh and Bone". The first single off the album "Runaway" displays some very intricate and carefully masterful guitar play from Keuning and bassist Stoerner. The track has been getting heavy radio play and soon will have us all singing it in our sleep. With Flowers belting out the chorus, it is his story telling that seems to get lost in translation as it is carefully put together from the beginning of the song until the final guitar riff. On "From Here On Out", Flowers channels his inner Petty and Springsteen with a song that would seem fit for a cross-country trip through middle America.
A sense of musical maturity has been established on this album and having the right people behind the mixing boards can truly give it it's dynamic sound. Gone are the dance-friendly tracks in favor of the epic anthems and songs of heartbreak that they seem to be churning out today.
I would say that I do favor the sound on Hot Fuss and Sawdust a bit more, but Battle Born will give any fan of The Killers a new sound of experimentation that every band toys with during their career at one point. I would rate this album a solid 8 out of 10.
Fans can check out their live American Express UNSTAGED performance tonight:
Also, they are getting ready to head out on tour with its first stop right here in Colorado at The 1st Bank Center on November 29th with Tegan and Sara. More info can be found here.

When Brevard business owner Tim Hall stands in front of the Aethelwold Hotel, a stately brick edifice topped with a head-turning mansard roof, the similarities between the man and his property quickly come into focus.
BREVARD -- When Brevard business owner Tim Hall stands in front of the Aethelwold Hotel, a stately brick edifice topped with a head-turning mansard roof, the similarities between the man and his property quickly come into focus.
For starters, both are well-known in this town of 7,600 — the Aethelwold, because of its prominent location facing the historic Transylvania County Courthouse and its claim to being the last remaining hotel property within city limits; and Hall, who is almost always sprinkled with a bit of sawdust and hard to miss with a shock of white hair, because he has owned, worked on or salvaged parts from nearly every downtown property built before World War II.
Stand with him for 10 minutes in front of the Aethelwold and watch him struggle to finish a single sentence without someone honking or hollering at him. The man is well-known, and almost everyone passes the Aethelwold at least twice a day.
Once inside, Hall has stories to tell, and so does the former hotel — from presidential visits to carpet-covered "modernizations" — if only these walls could talk.
Since 1993, when Hall and his wife and business partner, Nancy, purchased the roughly 25,000-square-foot former hotel, Hall has been working to "accurately recreate" this 114-year-old building to its past grandeur and dust off its nearly forgotten stories. He freely admits that he has always had a soft spot for this property.
"The roof was terrible. When I first bought it, the third floor was the roof, and it leaked all over. I remember on hurricane-like days, setting my alarm for the middle of the night, and I would be down here emptying dozens of buckets, because they would be full from when I had set them out the evening before," he says shaking his head in mild embarrassment. "I have babied this building for a long time."
While surviving the economic downturn by selling a few other properties, but never the Aethelwold, Hall completed the retail spaces at street level and the entire facade of the hotel by 2008. He reconstructed the mansard roof, which had been shaved off in 1960, a decade after the hotel closed its doors to guests.
An elderly local man, who had once worked at the hotel, told Hall that the building's name was "spread out on the sidewalk somewhere." When Hall poked around the former lobby's carpet-covered stoop, he found an artfully laid-out mosaic spelling out the hotel's easy-to-butcher name, which Hall has been told was a combination of the first owner's wife's name and the name of an English saint.
Once he had pulled enough of the glued-down carpet off, Hall found the entire lobby featured a mosaic tile floor — each tile hardly one square inch in size. It took weeks on knees with pocket knives to scrape calcified glue and carpet fibers out of the grout, Hall remembers.
The lobby is now grand with a 13-foot-high ceiling and a majestic wood staircase. A glass showcase in the lobby shows off remnants of the hotel's illustrious past. There is a room key, a platter with the hotel's insignia and a hand-written guest register, signed by former U.S. President William Howard Taft, who stayed in the bridal suite at "no charge," according to the desk clerk's notation.
By 2008, Hall had filled the street level with retail tenants, but then he hit a log jam.
"I couldn't make it work without the parking. Parking became the central issue, so we decided to wait for the right time. So I was just sitting here with my shell of a building," Hall remembers.
After three years of waiting, Michael Domokur, a successful architect and developer, was made aware of Hall's plight and his attachment to the property.
"I immediately recognized that Tim had poured his heart and soul into it and that without parking he wasn't going anywhere with it," says Domokur, a native of Ohio, who maintains a residence in Transylvania County.
"It is right there for everyone to see, and I wanted to see what it would take to develop it into something instead of it sitting empty," he says.
Domokur, whose company, Domokur Architects, has offices in Cleveland and Akron, Ohio, and Chicago and now in Brevard, moved swiftly and purchased the adjacent vacant lot and in due time forged a partnership with Hall to develop the Aethelwold's upper two stories into residential condominiums and commercial spaces.
During an open house in April, six of 12 proposed units were reserved by invited guests, who will likely pay $180 per square foot for their finished piece of the historic Aethelwold.
"The views are what capture you like nothing else," Domokur says of the building's upper level appeal.
Along with 360-degree views, the second floor also features original exposed brick walls. If all goes according to an ambitious construction schedule and permits are issued for dedicated, underground parking on the adjacent lot and for an elevator that will be attached to the outside of the building's south facade, the first tenants could move in as early as September, Domokur says.
While Hall will oversee the interior development of the building, Domokur is busy gathering support for an outside plaza atop the underground parking and another mixed-use building at the corner of Broad and Jordan streets.
"We are looking for more input from the community on an outside plaza and the general potential of that adjacent site," Domokur says. He has also purchased two buildings along East Main Street, which he plans to develop to complement upper-story residential living at the Aethelwold and elsewhere in downtown Brevard.
Heath Seymour, executive director with the Heart of Brevard, a group of downtown merchants and business owners, says upper-story living is the newest trend thought to ensure vibrancy in small-town centers.
"It helps keep a real sustainable mix of business downtown," Seymour says. "The first step for us is to make sure that everything at street level is filled up and there is a good variety. Then the next move is to fill those upper levels and make it so the downtown is where people want to live and be."
If the Aethelwold becomes home to full-time and part-time residents and a few businesses, Hall says, he will be happy to be just a visitor. He has plans to renovate a space above his own business, an antique mall and building salvage business on East Main Street, and eventually make it a home for himself and his wife.
"Not many people were crazy enough to hang in there with me," he says. "It will be satisfying to me and my wife if we can help the center of town."
After all, Hall says, the Aethelwold was headed toward demolition and could have been lost forever to downtown Brevard.
"It was just so awful. It was really beat up," Hall says with a proud smile as he gingerly makes his way down the polished stairs into the lobby, taking care not to further aggravate a creaky knee.

The safer option is sometimes the better option.
With Lucho and Tata we went with the risk route. With Valverde we know we are getting a very experienced, tactically inclined manager and players he managed hold him to a very high regard and respect.
The risk with Valverde is that he hasn't managed a top team before, but he's at least earned that opportunity after all he has done so far in his career.

WASHINGTON – The 80-year-old Irish woman who inspired the Oscar-nominated film "Philomena" took her campaign for access to adoption records to the U.S. Congress on Thursday, and a senator said lawmakers might urge Ireland to act on the issue.
Philomena Lee, who searched for 50 years for the son she was forced to give up as a teenager, launched a campaign last week calling on Dublin to pass laws for the release of more than 60,000 adoption files held by the state, private adoption agencies and the Catholic Church.
Like thousands of other children, Lee's son was adopted by an American family, and she said she was overwhelmed by the support her story has generated in the United States. "Philomena" received four Academy Award nominations this month, including one for actress Judi Dench, who plays Lee.
"This has been such an experience. It's such a welcome from the American people. It's been fantastic. Hectic, mind you, but fantastic," she told reporters after meeting Senator Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat.
Lee, like many unmarried mothers in 1950s Ireland, was forced to work in a convent laundry while her child was put up for adoption. Her son was adopted at age 3 by a family in St. Louis, in McCaskill's state, and died before he was able to see his mother again.
Lee said access to records would have provided a different outcome to her story.
McCaskill said she would meet fellow lawmakers to discuss how to express support for the Irish government's swift passage of legislation to release adoption records.
"We are going to try, my colleagues, to do what we think we can to influence this process in Ireland," she said.
The issue of adoption records also could arise during Senate confirmation hearings on whoever the Obama administration nominates to be ambassador to Ireland, she said.
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny's government has said it was preparing a bill to deal with the tracing of adoption information.
But Ireland's Adoption Rights Alliance has accused ministers of paying lip service, as a 1998 Irish Supreme Court ruling would still deprive adopted people of the right to know their origins. The Alliance is working alongside Lee's campaign, called the "Philomena Project."
Although the movie shows Lee in Washington during her search for her son, her current trip to the U.S. capital is her first. She and her daughter will attend the Academy Awards show on March 2 in Los Angeles.
"After few more weeks I'll be back down to being an ordinary housewife. The thing is at least I've have started something with this trip, with the adoption rights," she said.
Lee also met U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Representative Joseph Kennedy of Massachusetts, both Democrats, and Irish Ambassador to the United States, Anne Anderson.

Today at lunch, I added support for importing blogger (maybe also blogspot? They seem to be the same nowadays) blogs into Nikola my static blog/site engine.
- What works?
Well, the only site I tried works, mostly.
- Posts
- Pages
- Tags
- Drafts
- Blog Metadata (except language)
- Redirects to keep URLs stable (at least it tries really hard!)
- URL rewriting in the posts (it tries!)
- What's not there?
- Comments import (it makes more sense to import them via Disqus' import tool)
- Attachments (images and such)
- Much testing
It's basically on par with the Wordpress import, except noone has used it for real. So, feel free to try!

The Mackerel Rebuilding Framework Fishery Management Action Team (FMAT) will meet via webinar on Wednesday, May 16, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. to review technical work done to date and plan additional analysis tasks.
For more information, contact Jason Didden, firstname.lastname@example.com, (302) 526-5254.
About FMAT Meetings
FMAT meetings are working meetings of Council, NOAA Fisheries, and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission staff. The Council typically posts announcements of FMAT meetings to the calendar on the Council's website, sometimes with very little notice. Detailed agendas and information on the meeting location and how to connect via phone or webinar (if available) are not posted but may be obtained by contacting Council staff prior to the meeting. FMAT members may discuss topics listed on the agenda in any order and may also discuss topics not listed. Members of the public may attend FMAT meetings, or listen to the meetings if they are broadcast, but should not expect to participate in the discussion unless the FMAT chair invites public input during a specified public comment period to be noted at the beginning of the meeting. Work carried out by the FMAT is considered during committee and/or Council meetings, during which public comments are encouraged.
