Definitely voting for team 1.
Posted 06 May 2012 - 02:25 AM

So Darkseid has the Anti-life Equation and Thanos has the Infinity Gauntlet?
Definitely voting for team 1.

Doctor Manhattan is the Watchmen-verse version of Captain Atom, so it should make no difference

yeah it does. it's kinda like the whole hulk loose cannon thing.

Loose Cannon is an inferior copy of the Hulk. Doctor Manhattan is a copy of Captain Atom, but he's in no way inferior.

And since you seem to making an arc with Darkseid and Thanos, BGJ, may I suggest stronger opponents? No one you've matched them up with so far stands anywhere near a chance against their combined might and smarts. You'd probably have to match them up against a virtually ominpotent enemy, but even then they may be able to strategize enough to make it interesting.
Or better yet, have Darkseid and Thanos fight opponents separately. You'd still have to find good matchups for them, though.
Posted 06 May 2012 - 03:57 PM
then you have DS and Thanos losing bigtime!
Cosmic Armor Supes and Rune King Thor vs. DS and Thanos?
That's not a bad one right?
Posted 06 May 2012 - 04:21 PM
Doctor Manhattan's another fish altogether. He is quite powerful, but not enough to make up the difference between himself and Surfer.

How about that?

2: It depends on Surfer. If Surfer is mad and is, mentally, at full fighting capacity- Surfer can take out Darkseid, Manhattan can at least keep Thanos busy, then Surfer returns to take out Thanos.

my orginal setup was ale seid and ig thanos v. surfer and manhattan. the first post was negative. sb-prime and adam won't cut it either. oops that was posed to be a reply to avp v terminators post. my bad

In no way does Surfer have the power to take out pre crisis darkseid. Darkseid is massively smarter and stronger in every way. His Omega beams alone would strip Surfer of his powers and leave him suffocating in space. Saying Silver Surfer can beat Darkseid is like saying Surfer can beat Galactus one on one. (While Darkseid is no as powerful as Galactus, the distance in power of Darkseid and Surfer is clearly large.) Darkseid has created his own beings like Strayne that have shown to be just as powerful as Surfer. So I ask how could Surfer overpower one of the strongest and most brillant minds in DC or Marvel?
1: Redemption X is completely retarded.

That said, Seid and Thanos will 'probably' win. I say 'probably' because their existence, as has been debated before, and hinted indirectly in comic publications and various forums, is more of an anomaly, a random, yet necessary occurance that is warranated when a little 'shake-up' in the scales is required. In that regard, I would say that they would be in one way or another 'immune' to the most potent force in this battle: Manhattan's powers. Manhattan's singular power is so over the top, and so lethal, that even both Seid and Thanos, in a direct conflict will be at par with him, if not below. The shifting of probability, and reality, with a mere thought. Although it is only basic science at work, it works fast, really fast, and it works in synchronity with Manhattan's thought. Ex: He thinks thinks Seid's ship is re-arranged into a cube, it simply is. The dissipation, re-arrangement of molecules occur at such an astounding speed of thought, that it is intantaneous. No being is beyond that. However, since Manhattan is not 'God' (ala Alan Moore), he has 'limitations' confined strictly to not what he can or can't do, but simply in the ingrained conscious in him, that he has those limitations. That is why, he was awed by the definition of 'miracle' by the end of his one time tale.
I just wanted to put that into words, so that everyone realises Manhattan's power, and not just write him off.
That said, the only thing that works in favour of Seid and Thanos, with Manhattan as an opponent is the 'grander scheme', that would allow them to effect events around their opponents, and Manhattan, even though comprehending the situation or the immediate future, would either leave the landscape of battle, leaving Surfer to get yet embarrassed again, or just 'shield certain things, and then vanish. That is the most likely outcome, when I consider Manhattan's powers and history, (not to mention, perhaps most essentially, his 'ingrained' sensibilities).
In a capsule, if this was a 'computer-calculated' match, Manhattan would almost have a step ahead, even if he doesn't win a war, he would win battles here and there, to make it a draw. (That too, I put, with his psychological limitations intact). Based on a more realistic comparison however, Seid and Thanos will likely take it.

Ok prove it and give an example of this. Then give an example of how you understand the power cosmic, obviously you don't because if you did you would see that the power cosmic matches up to everything Darkseid can do if not more on a grander scale. If you know anything about the surfer he can use the power cosmic to make himself stronger physically to where he could battle DS to a physical standstill if he wanted to.
Really you ask HOW the Surfer could when you obviously have not read the list of the powers for him. Once you do that then come back and say that. You guys are so DS crazy that you don't understand that just because a being is hardly ever defeated in his universe that he must be powerful across any universe he is a part of and that's not true.
Plus there is no true CREATIVITY in these battles. If its not a slug out or not a blast fest you guys seem to have a problem with being able to conceptualize how in the world some of these fights would go. Regardless of how 'smart' Darkseid is he doesn't show much more intelligence if he's outwitted by Batman in some of the simplest schemes. He's so smart right? Well if he was so smart then why hasn't he come up with a way to destroy Superman or why couldn't he 'devise' a way to handle Doomsday when Doomsday beat the crap out of him? I am sure such a "smart" being should have been able to come up with a plan or come up with something before he was put in a position where he was beaten nearly to death.
Dude, he may know things yet he doesn't show it in the comics to where he is 'supremely' intelligent.
So go back and read the Surfer's powers and read Darkseids powers and you will see a lot of similarities to where your point isn't correct.

Polymath: a new IT job description
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
Is "polymath" a required job skill - a new job title - for IT professionals?
The number of distinct job titles, and associated skill sets, in IT have multiplied over the years. New approaches, like Agile, have added even more (e.g. Coach, Scrum Master, Craftsman). A recent book by Vinnie Marchandani, The New Polymath: Profiles in Compound-Technology Innovations, has prompted a flurry of discussion about the polymath as an essential job title / job skill.
Strictly speaking, a polymath is someone who knows everything there is to know, and Leibniz is considered by most to have been the last polymath. Today the term is used more or less synonymously with "renaissance man" - a person who is master of many disciplines, like Leonardo da Vinci was the master of painting, anatomy, sculpture, mechanics, architecture, etc.
According to Marchandani,
[in the past] ... we have relied on Polymaths to innovate and find creative solutions to the problems of the day ... The New Polymath excels in multiple technologies—infotech, cleantech, healthtech, and other tech—and leverages multiple talent pools to create new medicine, new energy, and new algorithms.
Phil Wainewright talks about how the polymath idea applies to his specialty, cloud computing:
Too many people look at cloud merely in terms of the underlying technology of virtualization and IT automation. Although there are some very useful incremental improvements available there ... this very narrow view misses out the bigger picture of global, real-time connectivity that provides the defining context for cloud computing. Disruptive, game-changing business innovation becomes possible when you start to join up the dots and take advantage of the interplay between cloud computing with mobility, social networking and other aspects of the Web. Thus, to really take advantage of cloud for business transformation, you have to be a 'new polymath.'
Another commentator on cloud computing, Brian Sommer, speaks to why the polymath role is essential in modern business and IT:
Our business world just moves too fast and is too dynamic to have the luxury of non-changing constancy. ... If we pause and fail to expand our thinking, we stagnate and lose relevance. When we're no longer relevant, we cannot compete as effectively. We cannot charge premium pricing. We lose our advantage in the global market. Business leaders need to be renaissance people as their organizations are the creators of innovation; designers of more productive processes and equipment; and, the people who support the re-vitalization of their businesses.
Others, notably advocates of software Craftsmanship have pointed out the need for skills that go beyond the mastery of programming. InfoQ San Francisco 2010 will have a tutorial, Ars Magna, focused on the need for renaissance thinking and skills in IT and how to make use of them.
As interesting and intriguing as the idea of "polymath" may be, questions remain. Is being a polymath fundamentally different than having a strong liberal arts background? How does one become a polymath? Can you learn this skill at university? How does this new skill / job title, relate to existing IT skills and jobs? Does Agile have a greater need for polymaths than traditional software engineering?

Well done in filling that gap.
With the web and programming technologies we have available now, there are people who just are like this. Many of them don't draw attention to themselves they just get on with it. They can run a whole business with just one person. (A small group say less than five people can also work well.) We're not talking trivial stuff here. For a small amount you can hire a computing network from Amazon, Azure... and do some serious computing. (Pete Warden aka Pete Search has a nice blog entry about that. Short audio at j.mp/aaaReI)
The education system, social expectations (blinkeredness?) and other people might try to stop it but it still happens.
As to training. I think that's often got little to do with it. Some people just learn and become competent in areas that further the goals of their lives. They can do it faster without formal training and do. The main role of education is to just let people know that they could if they tried.
If you have urges in that direction, now's a good time.
Your choice.
It would be wonderful

Agile's success depends on geniuses?

The word polymath means 'a person of encyclopedic learning'. In other words, a genius. So, by definition, you won't find many of these, if you ever find one. Good luck hiring.
Now, agilists want to put themselves in the same hall of Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton? C'mon...

Encyclopedic knowledge doesn't make you a genius. Genius is defined as "a single strongly marked capacity or aptitude." These are two orthogonal concepts. It's possible to be a genius and be ignorant. It's also possible to know incredible volumes of information and not be able to tie your own shoes.
Re: Agile's success depends on geniuses?
Ronald Miura
But please don't start to call people 'polymaths' just because they know how to (somehow) code in Java and Ruby, (somehow) tweak CSS, and (somehow) talk to customers.

It's not much to ask that in a field where quite a bit of money gets spent and outcomes can be pretty significant for businesses, and even society, that the people that do it adopt as a first pass some pride and professionalism.
So yes I wholeheatedly agree with the comments above. Broad and sometimes deep experience and knowledge would be great - is critical even (what you call it matters slightly less) - but one has to pass though 'good' to get there. Sadly most of those who need to take that journey aren't checking out infoq on a regular basis.

Lately, I've been watching the market of hardware, and I've noticed more and more hardware has been available out of the box. I've also noticed that more and more users have been posting questions relating to the different hardware types, and what to do with them. Hopefully this will help those of you that are confused.
In the beginning, it was just modems, then Zip drives, then hard drives, and now virtually everything. What's good for what? When should you use it? Why the price difference?
External hardware has one main thing going for it: Its easy. Most external hardware is so simple that you can plug it into the computer with a USB or Firewire cable, something anyone can do. Compared to the sometimems frightening idea of going IN the box, or paying someone else to, this has given external hardware a huge boost.
The other reason that external hardware is used is that its not common IN the box yet. This is seen with Zip drives, and CD Burners when they first came out. It was something that let people get them quickly, without waiting for companies to start putting them in the machines. (Of course, the internal versions were also available, just often harder to install. See above.)
External hardware is also used because you can swap it between machines quickly. I have an external HD, 40 Gigs, and use it to move files back and forth between non-networked computers. With a USB 2.0 connection, it moves pretty fast, and I'm able to enjoy moving my files back and forth very quickly. A nice, handy tool. Its also great for USB Hubs and many other things which someone might need to use on different machines often and quickly.
So why should you even bother with internal hardware if all of this going for external? Cost. External hardware can cost up to twice as much as its internal brethren. Honestly, I'd much rather get a 100 Gig internal drive, and a new DSL modem, both internal, than one or the other external.
Also, internal hardware often has better support and compatability. Because OSes like Linux are often behind or lacking here, it is better to go with older or more common hardware. External hardware varies more, and often needs specific software or drivers for such things, while internal hardware is often "plug and play" even on Linux and other *nixes.
But what about the difficulty of installing things? Constructiing computers isn't that hard. Many devices attach via IDE cables, or PCI cables, making it quite easy to construct and put things together for the average user, if they'll take the time to find the books or tutorials that they will need. (This is a great place to look for that sort of thing.)
Why else should you go with internal? Its harder to steal. External hardware, someone can pick it up and walk off. With internal, they'd have to take the entire machine. Also, it gives you a chance to learn about your computer's inards. Any time you get a chance to learn, go for it. In this case, its just one great bonus to something that was already there and good.

BOSTON — The moment we've all be waiting for since Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli announced at the outset of training camp that Marc Savard was unavailable to the club finally arrived this morning.
Savard addressed the media about his post-concussion symptoms, which he said include dizziness, headaches and depression. He called himself "ways away" from returning and noted that he might returned to action too soon last spring.
Here is the complete session Savard had with the media:

Defense rests in Ohio $100M charity fraud trial
CLEVELAND (AP) — The mysterious defendant charged in a $100 million, cross-country veterans charity fraud wanted to tell jurors his side of the story at his trial, but he skipped testifying Tuesday as his defense rested without calling witnesses.
His attorney said the defendant, who identifies himself as Bobby Thompson, 67, changed his mind about testifying, worried about his mental state if he faced an aggressive cross-examination.
The defendant, identified by authorities as Harvard-trained attorney John Donald Cody, bloodied himself last week while pounding his head against the wall in a holding cell, with the noise audible in the adjacent courtroom, defense attorney Joseph Patituce said during a break in the trial. The judge said the defendant was checked by the jail medical staff.
The judge began instructing the jurors on the law Tuesday afternoon but recessed until Wednesday. The jury will get the case after both sides have a chance to make final statements.
The five-week trial drew to a close Tuesday with the defendant walking slowly into the courtroom after a 90-minute delay, his shirt unbuttoned to the waist, his hair disheveled and his long, baggy pants bunched around his ankles.
The judge suggested a break to provide time for him to clean up. He did so, returning with a fresh shirt and hair combed.
"I would like to put myself in physical appearance state I think is reasonable," the defendant said.
The former fugitive is charged with looting the United States Navy Veterans Association charity that he ran in Tampa, Fla. The charges include racketeering, money laundering, theft and identity theft.
Authorities believe he defrauded donors of up to $100 million in 41 states since 2001, including $2 million in Ohio, on the guise of helping Navy veterans. A fraction of the money has been found.
Authorities said they traced the name Bobby Thompson to a man who wasn't connected to the charity case. Authorities say he had his identity stolen, including his Social Security number and date of birth.
The defendant, eventually identified through military fingerprint records, disappeared for almost two years after his 2010 indictment. He was arrested last year in Portland, Ore., where agents and deputy marshals found fake IDs and a suitcase containing $980,000 in cash.
The defendant showered politicians, often Republicans, with political donations. The judge rejected a defense request to subpoena testimony from leading Ohio Republicans including U.S. House Speaker John Boehner.
Politicians who received donations from him, according to campaign finance filings, include former President George W. Bush and former presidential contenders Mitt Romney, John McCain and Rudolph Giuliani.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, whose office handled the trial prosecution, said he believes that photos the defendant had taken with high-profile Republicans such as Bush, Boehner and GOP strategist Karl Rove were used to soften up potential donors.
Besides Boehner, political donations went to almost every member of the state's GOP congressional delegation and two of DeWine's predecessors as attorney general.

Yup, I'm expecting some possible (teasing) romance between them in the future.
Just teasing romance? I need more than that!
Truthfully I expected I would not like this show. But I love it! Just heartwarming, funny, already love the characters. Only 11 episodes, then we will have to wait for the 2nd of the split cour...
Yeah this is my favorite high school /comedy show of the season , I just cracked up so much in some scenes. Love most of the characters but not all character design
I can relate to this anime for example:
I also remembered the first time I sat on an equestrian horse. He was a tall horse. I understand how Hachiken felt since I have a fear of heights too.
But once the horse moved , it felt different. Too bad I only took a semester of class ( class was twice a week, we took care of the horses before and after class ) ., my back could not handle it.
But in the negative side , I didnt like in this episode is the part where they pushed or lifted him up to the horse instead of teaching him how to really mount the horse from the mounting block , thats pretty basic.
By the way Hachiken's last name is very funny lol and I like his seiyuu too- Kimura Ryohei
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
...and with that i have dropped my first anime of the summer 2013 season. The funny thing is that its not a bad anime, but i find myself completely bored and uninterested in the story. I dont care how good of a singer you are Miwa its dropped!
Did he just walk up...slowly...and ban me? @GoldTStar117

Ahaha, I just knew that when those upperclassmen were looking at a magazine and talking about giant teats, they were talking about cows. Nothing like cow porn in an agricultural school!
There sure has been a good amount of horse love lately, hasn't there? But now we know what folks like Sawa Okita must deal with when they're not riding their horses..
Also, Nakajima is awesome.
Overall, I am really enjoying this series. I think one reason why is because I feel like I am there in that agricultural school myself, getting down and dirty along with these characters. (Though thankfully, I'm not actually getting dirty...) And I think a lot of this series' success, both in the manga and here, is how well it portrays life here so that it can immerse the audience into its setting.
I loved the episode. And Hachi is in for a rude awakening if he thinks he doesn't have to use his legs for horse riding. :)
I also thought it was hilarious how the club instructor is drawn as a Buddha.
I liked the episode. It knows how to hit those comedy jabs well. Perfect combination with Rozen Maiden on my Friday nights.
Liking it so much that I will be reading the manga now lol.
I love Buddha-sensei! :D
Also Hachi's expression when he learned the other kid was joining the hentai-cow-lovers club. xD
Poi is the new Desu!

New green trash bins soon will find their way to the homes of those living in the City of Geneseo. The forest green bins — a color selected specifically for Geneseo — will be delivered starting Thursday, Nov. 8.
New green trash bins soon will find their way to the homes of those living in the City of Geneseo.
The forest green bins — a color selected specifically for Geneseo — will be delivered starting Thursday, Nov. 8.
Residents are asked to set their trash bin out on their normal pick-up day (Thursday, Friday, Monday or Tuesday) and to leave the bin on the curb until new toters are delivered. It may take several days for a resident to receive their new bins.
The current box-like recycling bins may be kept by the homeowner and do not need to stay at the curb during the bin switch-over. However, any of the smaller recycling boxes placed on the curb after Dec. 1 will be viewed as unwanted and taken for recycling.
Allied Waste operations supervisor Dan Collins suggested residents keep the recycling bins for use in garage storage.
Residents may begin using the new garbage and recycling toters as soon as they receive them.
Current trash pick-up days will remain the same in Geneseo through the end of 2012.
As of Jan. 1, 2013, all city residents will be charged $12.95 a month for garbage service. The charge will be included on their monthly utility bill from the city, with the first billing to occur in December.
Garbage collection in Geneseo will be reduced from four days a week to just two — Thursdays and Fridays. In addition, recycling pick-up will move from a weekly schedule to a bi-weekly collection.
Residents living on the north side of Main Street, minus those in the Country Manor or Prairie View subdivisions, will have their trash picked up on Thursdays.
Country Manor and Prairie View residents, as well as all of those living south of Main Street, will have trash picked up on Fridays.
For those living on Main Street — the dividing line — trash pick up with be on Thursdays for those on the north side of the street and Fridays for those on the south side.
Even though the week of Jan. 1, 2013, will be the first for the new schedule, all trash pick up will be moved back a day that week to accommodate the New Year's Day holiday.
In July, Geneseo residents received a postcard asking them to select the trash and recycling toter size they wanted to receive.
Toters — which are in 95-gallon, 65-gallon and 35-gallon sizes — will be delivered based upon a resident's selected preference.
Those who did not return the card will receive, by default, a 95-gallon trash toter and a 65-gallon recycling toter.
Geneseo public works director Klint Rice said approximately 50 percent of the city's residents will receive the "default" sizes.
Customers also had the chance to purchase a yard waste toter. Those who purchased a yard waste bin will receive it at the same time as their garbage and recycling toters, however residents may not use their new yard waste toters until March of 2013.
Though the bodies of each bin are the same forest green color, lid color varies depending on the bin's use. The garbage bin has a green lid while the recycling bin is gray and the yard waste bin yellow.
The recycling bin lid also contains a tag detailing what items may or may not be recycled.
Attached to the new bins will be an information packet for customers. The packet will include a magnet detailing the 2013 bi-weekly recycling schedule, a recycling guide and details about the trash collection service.
With the new bins, customers are asked to leave three feet between the bins themselves as well as between the bins and any obstacle, such as a mailbox or parked vehicle, said Collins.
If residents believe the bins delivered to their home are not the size they ordered or if they have other questions about size changes, city officials request no inquiry calls be made to city hall until after Dec. 1.
"We need to get through the initial delivery of the bins before we can make any changes," said Rice.
The garbage and recycling changes come as the result of a new five-year contract signed with Allied Waste, a Republic Services company, by the Geneseo City Council.
The new contract with Allied Waste will permit residents to have yard waste collected on Mondays during "yard waste season," designated as March 1 to Dec. 15. There will be no additional fee for yard waste collection.
Those who did not purchase a yard waste toter are still welcome to place bundled brush or leaves and yard clippings in Kraft bags or cardboard boxes at the curb on Mondays.
Residents no longer will have to pay the $35 annual fee for grass clipping collection. Under the new contract, grass clippings will be included in what's picked up on the Monday yard waste collection. All Geneseo residents may use the Monday yard waste pick-up starting next March.
City officials will continue to offer curb-side Christmas tree collection after the holidays.
For more information, contact Allied Waste's customer service department at 1-800-233-9634.

Classic Roast Pork with Crackling and Roasted Stuffed Apples with Thyme and Parsley
This recipe is for loin of pork which provides maximum crackling, but the butcher must chine it for you - that is, loosen the bone yet leave it attached, so that it can eventually be cut away to make carving easier.
How to get crisp, crunchy crackling is not a problem if you follow a few simple guidelines. Buy the pork a couple of days before you need to cook it, remove any plastic wrap, put it on a plate immediately and dry it as thoroughly as possible with absorbent kitchen paper. After that, leave it uncovered in the lowest part of the fridge so that the skin can become as dry as possible before you start the cooking.You will find the recipe for roasted apples at the bottom of this page.
This recipe is from Delia's Winter Collection. Serves 8
- method
- Ingredients
While the oven is pre-heating, score the skin of the pork.
It will be scored already, but it's always best to add a few more lines. To do this you can use the point of a very sharp paring knife, or Stanley knife, or you can now even buy a special scalpel from a good quality kitchen shop!
What you need to do is score the skin all over into thin strips, bringing the blade of the knife about halfway through the fat beneath the skin. Now place the pork in a tin, skin-side up, halve the onion and wedge the two pieces in slightly underneath the meat. Now take about 1 tablespoon of crushed salt crystals and sprinkle it evenly over the skin, pressing it in as much as you can.
Then place the pork on a high shelf in the oven and roast the joint for 25 minutes. After that turn the heat down to gas mark 5, 375 F (190 C) and calculate the cooking time, allowing 35 minutes to the pound. In this case it would be 21/2 hours. There's no need to baste pork as there's enough fat to keep the meat moist. The way to tell if the meat is cooked is to insert a skewer in the thickest part and the juices that run out should be absolutely clear without any trace of pinkness. When the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and give it at least 30 minutes' resting time before carving.
While that is happening, tilt the tin and spoon all the fat off, leaving only the juices. The onion will probably be black and charred, which gives the gravy a lovely rich colour. Leave the onion in, then place the roasting tin over direct heat, turned to low, sprinkle in the flour and quickly work it into the juices with a wooden spoon.
Now turn the heat up to medium and gradually add the cider and the stock, this time using a balloon whisk until it comes up to simmering point and you have a smooth rich gravy. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then discard the onion and pour the gravy into a warmed serving jug.
Serve the pork carved into slices, giving everyone some crackling and one roasted apple.
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 9, 475 F (240 C).
You will also need a solid roasting tin, approximately 12 x 10 inches (30 x 25.5 cm).

What are you doing this weekend darlings? My weekend started at 5 PM today when I left a freelance magazine job in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. I hopped into my Jeep, turned on some Adele and drove the thirty-minute drive to JD's preschool—bliss. The crisp breeze whipped through the cracked window. A stretch of black sky was endless and before me—and I was alone with my thoughts. Thoughts including JD's father sending flowers to my office on my 26th bday. I was working FT at the mag I am freelancing at now. Everything is familiar and relevant—and like a dream, really. The dinner in Brooklyn, the wine. The trip to the Brooklyn museum where we held hands and looked over and over at an Annie Leibovitz exhibit. Strolling around Books of Wonder (a store our son would one day love—he's been many times) and eating cherry pie. I was pregnant. We didn't know yet. I was just "fluish."
Whoosh, the cold air hit me when I opened the door. Beep-Beep, I locked the doors. At school, JD ran so fast into my arms I almost fell over. No longer alone with my thoughts. "*Danny bonked me in the nose today, Mommy!" JD said.
When we got home we washed up and changed into our PJs. I cooked up some grilled cheese sandwiches (mine with tuna) and nooked some homemade soup. I put on some jazz music, lit the pine scented candle, JD plugged in the Christmas tree and we dined—well as you know, JD wandered and dined. But dined he did, on half a grilled cheese sandwich, a big bowl of chicken-carrot-noodle soup and so many little cherry tomatoes—and so many honey Teddy Grahams.
Next I addressed our Christmas cards and JD did all of the stamps. We delivered some in socks to our neighbors and tossed the rest in the outgoing mail bin in our building. Back upstairs we played blocks, balloon volleyball, watched Dora save 3 pigs on an adventure with Boots and read How Rocket Learned To Read. JD was in bed by 8:30 PM and I was sipping some red alone, back with my thoughts. I'll fold laundry that's been in the dryer for two days before getting in my bed.
Tomorrow is a busyBEE day. JD needs a haircut. We have to go to the farmer's market, grocery store and Target. I need to buy my Mom, Dad and brothers Christmas gifts + a little something for my friends' kids. I want to get a mani—we'll see, ha. I also have a babysitter coming in the evening, because I turn the big...26 31 on Monday! My friends and I decided on a low-key evening at a local bar. I'm excited for drinks and conversation. (When I turned 27 JD was just three-months-old. We went to The Met in NYC. ) This year JD claims to be making me a My Little Pony cake with my Mom. My mom is coming over on my birthday. She is getting JD early from school. I do adore My Little Pony.
On Sunday, JD and I are meeting our friends to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-wrecked. Other than what I noted, you can count on us relaxing, watching Cars 2 (given) cleaning, wrapping gifts and doing laundry. And I suppose thoughts will come and go—they always do.
What are you doing this weekend? Have a great one! XO
Friend me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter @JDSMOM2007, order a copy of my single mom memoir, Rattled! (Rattled! is also on iTunes for download) and check out ChristineCoppa.net

Port Orange Spruce Creek senior Michael Colubiale sees himself as a "diamond in the rough."
UCF's coaching staff feels the same way.
Colubiale (6-3, 215), a wide receiver/defensive back, accepted a walk-on spot with the Knights' football team this week and is hopeful he can be the next UCF walk-on to make an impact on the gridiron.
"I know they like the diamonds in the rough, that's what they told me," said Colubiale, who talked with receivers coach Sean Beckton and head coach George O'Leary during a campus visit this weekend.
"I know the receiver J.J. Worton he was a walk-on. That's the main person they talked about, how he was a stud there his freshman year and ended up earning a scholarship."
Like Worton, who had 44 receptions for 584 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman, Colubiale produced in high school but ended his playing career with a tangible scholarship offer. Former center Jordan Rae and running back Ronnie Weaver are other recent examples of walk-ons who became multi-year starters for the Knights.
Colubiale tallied 57 receptions for 717 yards and eight touchdowns as a senior and 625 yards as a junior. Schools like Western Kentucky and Lehigh displayed interest in him but nothing came of it.
"I didn't have anything," Colubiale said. "It was frustrating because coaches would lead me on."
So why did schools shy away from the physical wide out despite his production?
"I think my speed threw me off," said Colubiale, who put up a 4.65 40-yard dash in a combine this offseason. "That's definitely my issue."
Florida Tech has been in touch up through the middle of the week. Stetson offered him a spot on their roster, but the private school does not provide football players with full scholarships, similar to how Ivy League schools work.
Eventually, UCF and USF came through with walk-on offers. He saw USF's campus during the summer and visited UCF this spring, and said UCF seemed like the right fit for him.
"UCF is somewhere I always I wanted to go," Colubiale said.
Colubiale is following in his father's footsteps. Steve Colubiale started for UCF as a freshman running back in 1981. He too came to the school as a walk-on and earned a scholarship the next season.
"But he turned it down, because he wanted to focus on school," Colubiale said. "Now he works at NASA."
Colubiale, who enrolls at UCF in June, said there is no way he'd turn down a scholarship offer if he earned one.
"Oh yeah, for sure I'd accept it," Colubiale said.

March 2014
March 21, 2014: Nissan's Versa Note. As sleepy and safe as the Versa sedan, or is there a fun personality inside? Nissan just reintroduced the Datsun brand as its entry for emerging markets. The first model is now on sale. Ford and OPI have joined forces to create a Mustang-inspired nail polish. Really. Speaking of touch up paint, Microfinish has a new line of paint it claims is fresh, fast, and a perfect match for factory finishes. Louis Vuitton and BMW have joined forces to create carbon fiber-weave luggage for the i8 sports car, while Jaguar and French luggage maker Moynat collaborated on a special trunk for the F-Type with a prize inside. GM's surprise, other than its recent recall, has been the speed in which it moved from a two-tier pickup strategy to following Ford's switch to aluminum. Until that happens it must stick to its original plan. Volvo, on the other hand, has its eyes set on iron to follow the road ahead. Audi revises the quattro drive system on its R18 e-tron racer for the 2014 Le Mans in its bid to beat Porsche. Brembo downsizes the rear brakes for its F1 teams. Fiat looks into its crystal ball and sees 1957. We take a look back at the history of Nissan's Skyline, the sedan turned supercar. Yamaha does something no other Japanese motorcycle maker has to burnish its image and sell its wares. And Al Vinikour sees spots… lots of them.
March 7, 2014: Even though, like most auto shows, the large number of pre-show releases dramatically
reduced the suspense, there were still a few interesting things to see in Geneva. You can find the full show report here. Also at the show, Nissan introduced some new tech, a combination conventional and LCD rearview mirror that's going to Le Mans. And Lamborghini launched a limited-edition model that smells very nice. Meanwhile, BMW pulled the wraps off its production X4 Sports Activity Coupe. Ducati teamed with Google to provide a virtual tour of its museum. Workers pulled classic Corvettes out of that sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum. And Al Vinikour took the time to write about one of the most important, and infuriating, safety technologies.

56k internal modem, standard on all models.
Use a coin to rotate the battery locking screw 90 degrees clockwise.
Lift the battery out of the computer.
Pull the keyboard release tabs toward you and lift up on the keyboard until it pops free.
If the keyboard does not come free, use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the keyboard locking screw 180 degrees in either direction and try again.
Flip the keyboard over, away from the screen, and rest it face-down on the trackpad area.
Push the wire clasp toward the Airport card and pull it up to free it from the RAM shield.
Grasp the clear plastic tab on the Airport card and pull toward the right.
Hold the Airport card in one hand and use your other hand to remove the antenna cable.
Remove the two 2.5 mm Phillips screws that secure the RAM shield.
Grasp the metal bracket on top of the RAM shield and pull upward to remove the shield.
Pull the keyboard cable up from the logic board, holding the cable as close to the connector as possible.
I feel this step needs clarification: Are just lifting the cable away from the shield, or are we removing the cable entirely?
Your laptop should look approximately like this.
Continue to run the spudger around the front, right corner. There are two tabs on the port side of the computer, one near the front corner and one near the sound out port.
Remove the three 5.2 mm newly-revealed Phillips screws.
Use a pin (or anything you like) to remove the three rubber feet from the lower case.
Use a spudger or small flathead screwdriver to pry up the three metal rings that housed the rubber bumpers.
Remove the one 10 mm and two 20 mm hex screws using a 2mm hex. Alternatively, a T8 Torx screwdriver key will do.
FYI, the two screws at the top of this picture are longer than the one in the middle of the case. Don't mix them up!
Remove the two 4.2 mm Phillips screws on either side of the battery contacts.
Breathe deeply. Trying times are ahead, but we promise the lower case does come off.
Push the thin rims of the lower case surrounding the battery compartment in, bending them past the tabs, and then lift up to free that corner of the lower case.
There is a slot on the wall of the battery compartment that locks the lower case in place. Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry out the slot's lower rim and pull up on the lower case to free the slot from the tabs holding it.
If your iBook's been opened many times (Like mine has been) then this piece may be broken.
If it's cracked down the middle or a little off, what you'll want to do is use your bent paperclip from a few steps later (or another screwdriver) and pull the second piece away from the shell when you start lifting. should pull right out
Run a spudger along the seam between the lower case and upper case on the front of the computer to free the tabs locking the lower case. Pull up on the lower case and continue to use the spudger as necessary until you hear three distinct clicks.
Once the front and sides of the lower case are free, turn the computer so that the back is facing you and pull the lower case up and toward you until the back tabs pop free (it may be helpful to jiggle the case up and down).
Be aware that you may need to use a spudger at the front of the computer to separate the metal shield from the bottom case.
Remove the small greasy springs with white plastic caps from either side of the battery contacts.
Remove the following 4 screws on the bottom of the computer:
Two 3 mm Phillips from the left side of the computer.
One 4.5 mm Phillips near the latch mechanism (this screw may be missing in 800 MHz iBooks)
One 14.2 mm Phillips near the front, right corner.
This photo is a little confusing. The shield should be off, which would show the correct positions of the yellow and orange screws. (The orange circle is in the wrong place.) Furthermore, these screws don't need to be removed at this stage (they hold the logic board to the frame). And finally, on my 800 MHz machine, BOTH these screws are 6 mm in length.
Quote from commenter:

The two red screws and the orange screw have to be removed (iBook G3 600 MHz).
Use a straightened paperclip to open the optical drive tray.
Pull the optical drive out just enough so that you can access and remove a Phillips screw near the battery compartment.
If you fully extend the tray it's fairly easy to get to the screw by going inside the rails. And grab it with tweezers.
When re-installing use something sticky on your screwdriver to hold the screw in place, or it's never going in. The sleep magnet is nasty at grabbing your screw and pulling it away. (Doesn't hurt to have something sticky on it for taking it out too...)
If you're doing this type of work, what's wonderful is to have a set of technicians magnetic drivers. I have a set of twelve that are about 6"long, and very skinny. Phillips 1, 0, 00, & 000 . . . Torx 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10 . . . and slotted 5/64", 3/32", & 1/8". I wish I could remember where I got them, but you could probably Google it. One of the smaller magnetic Phillips was perfect for removal AND replacing this screw. A word of CAUTION, though . . . probably best to keep any magnetic tools away from sensitive components on the PC board.
Pull the optical drive a bit more so that you can access and remove a second Phillips screw near the power receptacle.
Turn over the computer and open it.
Use tweezers (or a refrigerator magnet) to remove the magnet covering a Phillips screw near the middle of the computer.
Remove the following 4 screws on the edges of the keyboard area.
One 4.5 mm Phillips underneath where the magnet was.
Three 6 mm Phillips in plastic depressions.
Peel up the foil tape covering the speaker cable near the ports.
1) With your fingernails, grasp the locking bar on either side and pull up a small amount (about 1/16" or 2 mm).
2) After disengaging the locking bar, slide the cable out of the connector.
Loosen the trackpad connector by pulling the top piece up slightly, freeing the trackpad ribbon.
Slide the orange trackpad ribbon out of the connector.
Lift the upper case from the left side and use your other hand to pull out the right side in order to clear the power receptacle.
I had one (800MHz), that on the B&W power cable, it was so tight that it pulled the socket from the PC board. Never had that happen before, although the potential exists on many of them. Needless to say, that machine is now allocated as a parts unit. What I found is the safest way, and really not all that much trouble, is the remove the 5 screws, peel back the tape, and remove the speaker/switch units from the top cover. Worked for me, and avoided the risk mentioned above.
Lift the upper case enough to disconnect the blue and white power cable from the logic board. Using your fingernails or a dental pick, carefully pry the connector from its socket. Make sure you're pulling only on the connector and not on the socket.
Not unless you have to! Most parts can be removed with this left in. Don't try pulling on it unless you have to, it can easily break the logic board. Just tilt the upper case up to lean it on the display.
It is alot easier to get at after you pull the speaker cable out. Use something small to pop it out of place though, I broke my extra spare being a little too hasty.
This connector has a small catch on the right. slipping a sharp object (eg: pin) between the connector and it holder will release the catch. The connector should now come off easily.
I put this comment in the last step, but perhaps it should go here as well:

What I found is the safest way, and really not all that much trouble, is the remove the 5 screws, peel back the tape, and remove the speaker/switch units from the top cover. Worked for me, and avoided the risk mentioned above.
Lift the upper case off completely and disconnect the red and black speaker cable from the logic board. As before, make sure you're pulling only on the connector and not on the socket.
There is a magnet covering a screw to the left of the serial number located in the upper center of the upper case. Remove the magnet, smooth,round and small, and loosen (doesn't need to come out) the screw to remove the upper case. Proceed to disconnecting the speaker and power cables. NOTE: this magnet is not the same one indicated in step image 33.
Your laptop should look approximately like this.
I found that at this point I was able to avoid any further steps by removing the screw from the DC in board and the flip the machine over to reveal its connection to the board. I removed this connection and then was able to wiggle the board out and snake the cord out. Avoiding Step 38 saves a lot of screw removal. Not to mention not having to remove the CD Drive also saves a lot of time.
Just be careful when doing this that you do not force the board out of its place. There is room to remove it, but it is a gentle task.
Remove the following 14 screws (some models may be missing a couple of screws):
One 2.5 mm Phillips.
Six 3.5 mm Phillips.
One 4.5 mm Phillips near the sleep light with a small shaft.
Two 4.5 mm Phillips with larger shafts.
Four 5 mm Phillips
If a screw is inserted in the left hole, the 14.2 mm screw in step 24 can not be inserted to hold the top case down.
Quote from neato:
If your iBook is like mine (700MHz) The yellow screw was attached from the bottom through the bottom case and had to be removed earlier in order to remove the bottom case. Also the the green screw pictured to the left was missing already removed.
It's the same to iBook G3 600 MHz
Peel back three strips of yellow tape in the bottom left corner.
Peel back one strip of foil tape in the upper left corner and another near where the trackpad connects to the logic board.
Lift the top shield up from the right side, minding the upper left corner, which may catch on the metal framework.
Your laptop should look approximately like this.
Remove the single strip of tape running across the modem.
Remove the single Phillips securing the display data cable to the metal framework.
Move the display data cable to the right in order to access and remove a single Phillips screw.
Remove the single Phillips screw remaining at the upper, right corner of the modem.
Lift the modem from the logic board on the right side, being careful not to strain the display data cable.
Disconnect the modem cable from the left side of the modem.
Slide the modem out of the computer, being careful to avoid catching the black plastic shielding on the surrounding cables.
Your laptop should look approximately like this.

General Comments: Futures were lower on poor weather around the country. Parts of the Southeast are getting too much rain and Texas growing areas remain mostly hot and dry. However, temperatures turned much cooler in Texas yesterday and rain was reported in central parts of the state. Conditions in Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri are below average now, but will see warm temperatures and Somme showers this week, with most of the precipitation in Eastern and southern areas. It is possible that futures can continue to work lower as demand has turned soft, but production and weather might be more important in the short term. Weather for Cotton appears good in India, Pakistan, and China.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see showers and rains through the week, mostly in southern and Eastern areas. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Texas will see some showers early this week and drier weather later this week. Temperatures will average near to below normal today and tomorrow, then will trend to above normal. The USDA spot price is now 80.77 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.593 million bales, from 0.606 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are down with objectives of 83.00 October . Support is at 84.00, 83.10, and 82.80 October, with resistance of 85.20, 86.00, and 86.50 October.
General Comments: Futures closed higher as speculators appeared to buy the market. It seemed like a delayed reaction to the USDA reports as weather continues to be good in Florida. The USDA reports showed reduced production of Oranges on Thursday. Production was estimated at 1233.4 million boxes and the yield per box was left unchanged at 1.59 gallons per box. Showers and storms are reported and conditions are said to have improved in almost the entire state. Ideas are that the better precipitation will help trees fight the greening disease. Temperatures are warm in the state, but the precipitation is the key right now. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and mostly dry weather.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for showers. Temperatures will average near normal. ICE said that 0 delivery notices were posted today and that total deliveries for the month are now 0 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are up with objectives of 145.00 and 155.00 September. Support is at 136.50, 134.00, and 132.00 September, with resistance at 140.00, 143.00, and 145.00 September.

If the trolls are messing around with RL, does that mean we can refuse to feed them IRL, too? Let them just sit around and get really, really hungry until they promise to act like normal people? Totally a viable solution.ReplyDeleteReplies

Words don't always match for Redskins' Garcon, RG3, but they connect on the field
ASHBURN, Va. – Pierre Garcon is candid and off-the-cuff. Robert Griffin III is the politically correct, prepackaged sound bite.
Their words often don't mesh but what's essential for the Washington Redskins is that one throws the ball successfully to the other week after week.
On Sunday, their connection was as good as it's been. Garcon had seven catches for a career-high 172 yards in the overtime win over the San Diego Chargers. He accounted for 59 percent of Griffin's 291 yards passing. With the Redskins lacking a clear No. 2 wideout, he and rookie tight end Jordan Reed carry a disproportionate load of the passing game.
"You can see I'm very high on him," coach Mike Shanahan said, "just by the complete game that he does play."
Garcon talks a good game as well. He's the one who claimed during training camp that the Redskins "have the potential to be the best offense ever." He also was the only player to express displeasure over the way Griffin publicly challenged Shanahan over the coach's practice plans when the quarterback was working his way back from knee surgery.
Once the season began, Griffin kept saying the knee was no longer an issue. Everyone else knew better, and Garcon said so. He called Griffin's injury and rehab the "elephant in the room" and suggested the knee brace was slowing Griffin down, prompting Griffin to jokingly challenge Garcon to a footrace.
When the Redskins were 1-4, Garcon said Griffin and the offense can't rely solely on what worked last year: "As you get older in this league, you've got to be able to adjust to what the defense is doing or you're not going to be ahead of the game."
Then, last week, Garcon said the passing game stinks, although he used a slightly stronger word. His statement was part of a week full of distractions that included safety Brandon Meriweather's comments about targeting ACLs, Shanahan's comments about the "lazy" Albert Haynesworth, and the ongoing debate over whether the Redskins nickname is a racist slur and should be changed.
Never mind. The Redskins put aside all that stuff and beat the Chargers, with the offense piling up a season-high 500 yards in the latest high point of an up-and-down season. Washington (3-5) needs to beat the Minnesota Vikings (1-7) on Thursday to get its first two-game winning streak of 2013.
And when a team is winning, little spats are easier to ignore. Asked about his relationship with Garcon on Tuesday, Griffin was politically correct through and through.
"We both want to win," Griffin said. "Whenever you have two guys — your quarterback and your top receiver — that want to win football games, they're going to be competitive. I think that's a great formula for success. Pierre's going to be Pierre; I'll be myself. And on that field together, we've shown that we can do some really good things.'"
After Sunday's game, Garcon was modest about his performance and even tried to make his reach-backward, one-handed grab in the fourth quarter sound like a routine play. He didn't make an appearance in the locker room Tuesday when it was open to reporters, so there were no new proclamations for Griffin to counter — no doubt to Griffin's great relief.
Griffin has conceded one point to his receiver. Yes, in retrospect, the knee and subsequent rehab did contribute to the quarterback's slow start this season.
"Coming off an injury, it's never easy," Griffin said. "But you always believe you can go out and just be fine right away."
Garcon missed about half of last season with a toe injury, and he was a difference-maker when he returned, helping lead a seven-game winning streak that returned the Redskins to the playoffs. He already has 54 catches for 684 yards at the midpoint this year.
"Pierre, he's a guy that is very passionate about the game, you can see in the way he plays," guard Chris Chester said. "Sometimes he wears his emotions on his sleeve, which is fine with me because I know he's all in and invested in what we're doing."
Notes: The Redskins' practices are more mental than physical this week because of the Thursday game, with no helmets or pads. Shanahan said everyone practiced fully Tuesday. ... The short week also leaves little time for adding new wrinkles to the game plan. "You better not add too much," Shanahan said, "because if you do, you don't have time to prepare for it."

Brief SummaryRead full entry
All nine described snipe eel species inhabit relatively deep midwaters. In the Atlantic off North America, just one snipe eel, Nemichthys scolopaceus (Slender Snipe Eel), enters shelf waters. Nemichthys species have filamentous tails and a lateral line consisting of three rows of pores. They may have as many as 750 vertebrae. Nemichthys scolopaceus is brownish or gray with darker brown fine speckling. For technical descriptions, see Charter (1996) and the online Fishes of the NE Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
In the western Atlantic, this species is found from Nova Scotia (Canada) and the northern Gulf of Mexico to Brazil and in the eastern Pacific it is found from British Columbia (Canada) to Peru, including the Gulf of California, but the species is found worldwide in temperate and tropical waters. The Slender Snipe Eel is usually found between 200-500 m depth, but sometimes much deeper, and it occasionally occurs in shallower waters in the northern part of its range. (Castle 1986; Robins and Ray 1986; Charter 1996)
The Slender Snipe Eel is restricted to the ocean throughout its life cycle, unlike some other eels. At maturity, both sexes lose their teeth, although only males lose them all. These eels mature in deep water, but the immature stages (leptocephali) are found in shallow water near the shore. These eels may be semelparous, i.e., dying after spawning once. (Finch 1990 and references therein) Charter (1996) describes the leptocephali of this and other snipe eels.

From LSU Sports
BATON ROUGE – LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger along with assistant director of player personnel Justin Vincent welcomed 38 children in Camp Care, a weeklong camp for children with cancer and their siblings, recently to the LSU Football Operations Center.
Vincent gave the group a tour of the facility and showed a football highlight video, while Mettenberger spoke to the group and signed autographs. Afterwards, the children ranging from ages five to 13 got to play football on the turf of the Anderson-Feazel Indoor Field.
"It was a very humbling experience to get to hang out with these courageous kids," Mettenberger said. "It is experiences like these that make you appreciate every day you are given."
The visit to the LSU Football Operations Center was the last activity before Camp Care's closing ceremonies. Camp Care is one of the numerous programs run by the Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge for children who are coping with a cancer diagnosis or the cancer diagnosis of a parent.

How To Get Wavy Hair
How to Get Wavy Hair
How to Style Your Hair Wavy
Whether you have naturally wavy hair or stick-straight strands, using a curling iron will give you the best results when trying to achieve lasting waves.
To get started, you will need a 11/4 inch curling iron and a thermal styling spray. Mist hair with the thermal spray and let it dry. Divide hair into top and bottom sections, and secure the top portion with a hair clip. Next, take the curling iron and wrap a two-inch section of hair around the barrel. It's best to hold the curling iron vertically upside down and wrap hair around the barrel, starting at the top and ending at the tip. This will give your better control over the curl. Hold hair in place for about 10 seconds (until you feel the heat) and then simply let the hair fall off of the barrel. Refrain from touching the curls right after curling; allowing them to cool off before styling will secure the shape.
Once the entire bottom section of your hair is curled, loosen the top portion and repeat the process. Remember to let the curls cool (this will help retain the shape of the curl), and then spray hair with a volumizing hairspray. Run your fingers through hair to break up the curls (do not brush!). Use your fingers to create soft waves and add extra lift at the roots.
Get more inspiration from our virtual makeover . Try on bombshell waves a la Kim Kardashian tousled waves like Miley Cyrus or beach waves like Vanessa Hudgens. to see how to curl your hair like a pro? Check out this video below from beauty vlogger nguerriero.

Buckets of MERCI Mme.VeroniqueDelete
I'm enjoying your posts on teaching Americans how to cope in France.
Aw, Biff came out wonderful! They are all adorable:)ReplyDelete
Don't feel bad about Biff #1 - I've been told that many portraitists charge extra to show teeth. Seriously.ReplyDelete
Your picture of.ReplyDelete
Biff is gorgeous - I think you've captured him perfectly and such
beautiful colours.

Carol you have done beautiful work! I love the colours..and the subjects you have painted are rather cute too..particularly that King Charles Cavilier!ReplyDelete
Your finished Biff painting has captured that pup very well, from nose to haunch to paw, and the personality within, too!ReplyDelete
I imagine that his coat with all those waves would have been fun to paint. Setting him amid the pillows made a fine setting.
Wasn't Marcel Marceau's character named Bif?
Best wishes. xo

I could not believe that you would stoop to stealing my dog, and then I realized that our Tavi was right here, playing with her red bug laser toy, and Biff is far away. They are exactly alike...vraiment twins. Tavi even has a red collar. Ours is a schnoodle and is the funniest and funnest dog we have ever had. I hope Biff is as great a dog as ours. Love your work.

Grand Island Fire Co.
More than 2,000 Sidway Elementary School students and other fire prevention open house visitors came to Grand Island Fire Co. headquarters on Friday, Oct. 12, to learn more about their GIFC volunteers, equipment, and operational capabilities.
Onlookers were amazed to watch a simple living room couch fire erupt into a blazing inferno within 46 seconds of ignition, a stark example of the urgency in exiting a burning home. In addition to hose practice for kids, displays of emergency medical services lifesaving equipment, firefighting apparatus, the New York State Police, Erie County Sheriff's Office, and others contributed their expertise.
GIFC Fire Chief Kevin Koch made a special presentation of the 2012 Fire Prevention Commendation to the (Tony) Mastantuono Agency of the Allstate Insurance Co. for its "continuing support in the form of outreach grants, which enhance special GIFC cadet programs and other worthwhile aspects of the fire service." The Mastantuono Agency's efforts represent exceptional acts of community service, according to Koch.
Those students who completed fire safety quizzes became eligible for a french fries treat from Wendy's Restaurant. Also, lucky winners of the Ride to School in a Fire Truck drawing will soon be contacted.
Meanwhile, the GIFC Ladies Auxiliary basket raffle and cookout proved to be a resounding success.
Thanks to all those who set aside some quality time to meet with their GIFC volunteers and friends.
