Playing the Daily 4 lottery can be very exciting especially if from time to time you are a winner. Winning can be accomplished quit often if the correct system is used. There are many so called experts in the market offering winning number secrets and scratch off ticket recommendations that promise to help you win. Most are not legit. However, there are a few systems on the market that has produced some promising results.
When you consider that that there are many different lottery systems available and lots of past winners you remain anonymous or don't talk about their winning strategies how many more winners might there be who have used such systems?
Think about it: is it possible that a huge percentage of lottery winners are actually using mathematical or statistical formulas to help them win? If that is the case then anyone who is not using a system is merely feeding the prize fund and has an almost zero chance of winning.

Is it really possible to use an easy pick lotto ticket to win the Powerball? If you answered yes to this question then you are absolutely 100% correct. On the flip side if you answered no to the proposed question than you are also correct. What?Now wait, before you brush me off and stop reading this article at least give me a chance to explain myself. As you already know winning the Powerball is a huge undertaking. On a slow week the jackpot starts at 20 million dollars.With that much money at stake a simple yes and no answer is impossible, when it comes to winning with a computer generated number. But don't despair by reading this article you will learn not only how to use the computer generated numbers to win the Powerball but you will also find out when your chances of winning from the easy pick numbers are slim to none. Both of these two facts are of equal importance and determine your chances of winning. Lets not forget winning is everything am I correct?The answer is broken into two parts.Part number 1: Winning Powerball tickets contain ranges of number that have low middle and large numbers. For example 6,8,15,19,35,40 is an example of the range needed to produce a winning outcome.Part number 2: If you purchase an easy pick ticket that contains low middle and large numbers than you have a potential winner. All your focus should be set on securing more tickets that have a combination of low, middle, and large numbers. This is the only way your going to win using computer generated numbers.Now with that being said I want to leave you with one more piece of information that will be beneficial to you.

Thinking about leaving your day job to open Durangos next dream restaurant?
Industry insiders suggest it will take more than just encouragement from friends and family who say youre a great cook. Your skills as a butcher, a baker and a passionate plan-B maker also may be required. Add designer, food-cost estimator, investigator and project manager to the talents necessary for restaurant success.
First-time restaurant owners Michael and Birgitte Lutfy share an impressive skill-set and nearly a lifetime of experience in the retail food world, yet it took them years to find the right location and concept for their dream restaurant, Chimayo Stone Fired Kitchen, 862 Main Ave., which Michael describes as a contemporary, new-American bistro with a Southwestern flair.
We went to hundreds of restaurants, actually sat at the bars and measured the knee clearance, he said of the homework the couple did in addition to interviewing chefs, bartenders and kitchen crews from all over the country.
Michael cut his teeth in the restaurant business as a 12-year-old dish washer, potato peeler and prep cook in his uncles restaurant in the Poconos, before rising through the culinary ranks.
Birgitte obtained a culinary degree from a Danish school where she specialized in charcuterie. She later managed a catering department in a high-end food store in Newport Beach, Calif. The two met over a cheese counter, Michael said, when he feigned ignorance about artisanal cheeses.
I was savory. She was sweet, Michael said of the instant romance.
Earlier this decade, the Lutfys spent 10 months a year travelling across America as cooks for the Indy car racing team owned by Michael Andretti. They were responsible for preparing gourmet fare for 80 staff members and up to 400 sponsor guests and executives on the weekend racing circuit.
The couple eventually moved to Durango, where they catered occasional events while on their quest to open a restaurant.
Both agreed that it was critical to find the right location to establish a solid concept that would be supported by locals.
With help from Fort Lewis Colleges Small Business Development Center, the Lutfys developed a business plan. Template in hand, they compared numerous restaurant locations before settling on a site on Main Avenue within the downtown historic business zone.
We walked away from so many deals, Michael said. Patience, knowing costs down to the penny and due diligence were equally important, and it also made sense to have a building contractor, fire department officials and health inspectors do a walk through before signing a lease, he said.
Vicki Vandegrift, senior planner with the city of Durango, agrees its necessary to search with eyes wide open when looking to open a restaurant in Durango.
Once youve found a location, find out if there are any issues or requirements specific to that location. Talk to officials about code enforcement, Vandegrift said, noting that a walk-through also is useful.
Exterior building changes, including restaurant signage, require design review, she said.
For Chimayo, a stylishly appointed restaurant that specializes in all things oven roasted, reworking, redrafting and refining the details before opening the door was the name of the game.
Two $40,000 stone-fired ovens turn out 75 percent of the prep work, including the almost-daily roasting of seasonal vegetables. Richly flavored sauces and toasted herbs and cheeses figure prominently in Chimayos diverse menu of about 30 items.
Stone-fired pizza selections range from a classic margherita pizza to savory mushroom pies made with not-so-classic fontina and Taleggio cheeses. Green chiles are paired with rice for risotto cakes. Roasted chicken, salmon, steak or shrimp can be added to four salads that all boast a Southwestern flair.
We refined our original restaurant concept to fit the space, Michael Lutfy said, crediting the sleek design of the 37-foot-wide storefront to Birgitte Lutfys artistic eye and more than 1,000 hours of daily attention to detail, down to where each wall outlet was placed.
The restaurants theme of merging old classics with new trendy twists extends beyond the menu.
A pair of garage-door-style rolling windows bring the outdoors inside. With weather being so unpredictable, this practical alternative to a patio made design sense.
I design from a functional standpoint. It doesnt matter how good things look if they dont work, Birgitte said.
The Lutfys design also incorporates an open kitchen, an efficient route from ovens to dining room and a wireless, iPad-based POS system that records sales from plate to pantry.
No two employees cross each other, Michael said of the traffic flow that allows his staff to provide quick and efficient service.
The POS system is the nerve center. Its how a business like this works, Birgitte said, describing how servers use hand-held devices that look like iPhones to record food orders, track inventory and process payments.
Linear angles are softened with curves that showcase a dramatic bar that extends three quarters deep into the spacious dining room. Historic maple wood flooring and tin ceilings contrast with exposed steel support beams.
Curves are duplicated in a bold, faux-painted wall design. Conical, asymmetric booths contrast with traditional table seating.
During the early stages of construction, life-size cardboard cut-out design templates stood where booths eventually would be constructed.
Passion is what Mike Burns, regional president of Alpine Bank, notices when prospective restaurateurs come to him looking for financing.
Location is important, capital matters, but the single most important thing is passion, Burns said.
Its required when one puts in up to 80 hours a week on the job.
Burns said that almost a million tourists make their way through Durango each year to ride the train and ski the mountains before seeking out a restaurant for a good meal.
People are hungry and theyre tired when they return to town, Burns said.
The failure rate of restaurants is no greater than the failure rate of any small business, Burns said, but restaurants have lots of challenging, moving parts.
Getting the bugs out before opening the door is important.
Pretty much everyone will give you a chance, but you dont get a second chance to make a first impression, Burns said.
When former chef and restaurant owner Vince Ferraro entered Durangos restaurant scene back in 1984, he describes it as competitive, with only six to eight good restaurants.
Now theres twice that many, he said.
With partners, Ferraro owned Prontos Pizza and Pasta and later acquired Arianos, a fine-dining Italian restaurant that he sold after 10 years at the helm.
The retired chef, who now works as a meat cutter at PJs Gourmet Market, said he might return to a restaurant kitchen, but he wouldnt own a restaurant again unless he owned the real estate with it.
Tim Turner, who opened Zia Taqueria in 2005, offered this advice to novice restaurant-owners: Have your systems dialed in as best you can, so youre not burning up revenues trying to create and implement systems on the fly.
Focus then can shift to effective training and team building. Restaurateurs also must secure a food supply and establish pricing by running food cost evaluations through rigorous spreadsheets. Its important to constantly challenge the numbers and have a system that allows for price changes, Turner said.
If he could flash back seven years, Turner said hed look for more opportunities to grow greater quantities of the fresh, healthy, nutrient-dense food that is central to Zia Taquerias concept.
Zia would have 10 greenhouses today. As it stands, we have three, Turner said.
Running a restaurant is a long-haul proposition that requires reinvesting initial profits in the business, the team, and the community, Turner said.
Dont have large expectations for retaining earnings during the first 24 to 36 months, he said.

We have just completed a few odd jobs about the site to keep our members happy and to keep things running smoothly and looking tidy.
Never let it be said we don't listen to our members because we do, sometimes!
Site Header Image
The observant amongst you may have noticed the site header image (the red stag rather poorly photoshopped onto a panoramic vista of the hills - ok I'm no graphic designer) has been replaced by a woodland image. It was about time we gave a nod to the lowland/woodland stalkers and anyway... we fancied a change. Luckily the new panoramic camera facility on the iPhone came to the rescue.
Classified Section
The Classifieds sections has been re-organised and split down into more sections. This was following complaints about the volume of adverts swamping the existing sections. Hopefully the new layout will improve things and make items easier to find. Initial feedback is looking favourable! The thread regarding this can be found here: Classifieds Makeover
We are on Twitter. Those of you who know what that is, well done! Those who are staring blankly, ask your kids/grandkids to explain. Those who know what it is and are still staring blankly - yes, I know, but everyone else is doing it, so why not us? And besides, it is a good way to increase traffic to the site. Over on the right (Over there --->) you will see a link to our Twitter feed and latest 'Tweets'. Don't expect to be bombarded with frequent, witty insights... it's early days!
(It will be my New Years resolution to try to get John and Malc to Tweet - Alex)

Barclays online banking borked
New improved = service unavailable
Barclays Bank customers have had to manage without online banking today after the institution unveiled its innovative "brand new look".
We've had dozens of emails from unhappy customers today and some dating back to Friday.
The bank doesn't have much luck with its technology - the ATM network went down last month and the website went down twice. Barclays suffered similar website problems in October.
The downtime could have been better timed. To support a newly-tweaked version of the site launched at the weekend Barclays sent out marketing emails to many users to advertise the glories of the new site. The email said: "Welcome to the new-look Barclays Online Banking site... It is still the same easy to use service... However, we have given the site a brand new look and we've improved the navigation... Why not log in now to see the new and improved site."
Sadly users have left scratching their heads over exactly how "new and improved" the site is, as it is still struggling to get beyond the customer login page at the time of writing.
A spokesman for Barclays said: "We had a short-term hardware problem which interupted service but we are now starting to return to normal."
A statement on its website reads: "We're currently experiencing technical problems in Online Banking that mean some of you may not be able to log in to the service. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and suggest you try logging in again later."
The bank has been laying off IT workers as well as foisting a ten per cent pay cut on contractors. ®

Joint Degree Programs
Washington University offers many joint-degree options with the University's other highly respected graduate schools. Students can design a joint degree to meet their individual interests by combining law with another master's program in the university.
- Cristen Sargant
Cristen Sargent (at left), received her master's in social work and J.D. in 2008. To learn about the experience of another recent joint degree candidate, James W. Hofman, II, read his essay online.
The School of Law and the participating departments work together so that a student can earn a J.D. and a master's or doctoral degree in another discipline in considerably less time than one would need to pursue each degree separately. Applicants must gain admission to each program independently and therefore might need to take separate entrance exams for example the Graduate Record Examination or the Graduate Management Admission Test, in addition to the Law School Admission Test. The School of Law accepts up to 9 credit hours earned in the other division toward the J.D. degree, as long as the J.D. is finished at the same time or immediately following the master's degree. The other divisions accept varying amounts of credit earned in the law school toward the master's degree.
In addition to these intra-university joint degree programs, the School of Law also offers the Transnational Law Program, by which students study law for four years at WU Law and one or more of its European partners.
For admission to the Joint Degree Program:
A separate application must be submitted to both the law school and the non-law degree program. Please indicate to both schools, at the time you apply, that you are seeking admission as a joint-degree candidate. The Law School's Admissions Office can be reached by email at email@example.com, or by calling the Admissions Office at (314) 935-4525 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Central Time). The School of Law will grant all current Washington University graduate students who wish to pursue a joint degree an application fee waiver.
The Joint Degree Society
The objective of the Joint Degree Society is to provide both current and potential Washington University graduate students with easy access to information regarding the joint degree application process, credit requirements, course requirements and financial aid information. The group encourages interaction between graduate and professional students from different disciplines in order to facilitate network building. As part of this effort, the Joint Degree Society sponsors public service activities, brings celebrated speakers to campus, and pursues relevant fundraising activities.

Dish Network Wants To Make Hulu Even More Useless
from the fighting-consumer-interests dept
However, while they're in denial publicly, they clearly are afraid of the internet. It's why they keep forcing Hulu to do stupid things that limit what users want, guaranteeing that the real disruption in the TV-online space will come from companies other than Hulu. But, even so, the TV guys keep looking to make Hulu even worse for consumers than it already is. The latest example is a Dish Network exec claiming that Hulu shouldn't make content available for free right after it airs, instead saying that it should wait 30 days. Why? Because Dish wants people to be forced to keep their satellite subscription to Dish, where they can catch up on missed shows via the disastrous "TV Everywhere," plan.
There is no good reason for Hulu to support this. All it does is encourage unauthorized access to content by making it harder to find legally. But what it does show, quite clearly, is that a company like Dish doesn't care at all about what consumers want or what's best for consumers. Yet another reason why it's ripe for disruption.

With no end to the Scion craze in sight, there is always something new on the horizon. We have seen drag Scions, drift Scions, Hot Rod Scions and even some with wooden paneling like the Fords of back in the day. So when Harvey DeLuca's insane Spiderman-themed xB popped up at Spring Break Nationals we kind looked at each other and said "ya, that looks about right." Truth be told, nothing surprises us when it comes to the Scion, the car that has run wild with Generation Y and the Echo Boomers.
There is so much reference to the Marvel comic character that we're surprised a team of lawyers hasn't been sent over to his house to disassemble this build.
At first glance, there isn't much question about what DeLuca was aiming for here. The exterior and interior of the project is a blend of traditional crime-fighting Spiderman and his evil twin who is bent on helping crime rule the city! There is so much reference to the Marvel comic character that we're surprised a team of lawyers hasn't been sent over to his house to disassemble this build. But doing that would leave DeLuca broken since he has chewed through $75,000 and more than six years working on this project.
DeLuca's attention was focused on the exterior that would get him noticed at shows. The exterior is a blend of multi-stage red and black paint jobs. There are four stages of airbrushing alone, which was done by John Burroughs of Melbourne, FL. A handful of lighting upgrades were also done, including HIDs and LED Glows 3-million color under-car lighting. Appearance wise, only the 15x7-inch drag wheels and Nitto NT450 tires were added to achieve the lowered look with an Easy Street air suspension.
FREE Trial Issue
Inside are loads of custom leather and suede work, also done by Jeff Burroughs. Everything has been recovered in a Spiderman theme from gauges to floor mats and seats. DeLuca even went as far as creating false floors in the car that can be pulled open to reveal…wait for it…Spiderman costumes.
The stage was set for some extreme audio and Soundstream stepped up to supply DeLuca with whatever he required. Beginning with a Soundstream VIR 7355 NRBT headunit, the signals are carried towards the Soundstream PQ7 equalizer for cleanup, and then head to a Soundstream TRX200.D mono amp which drives quad Soundstream Picasso 15-inch subs forward mounted in the rear cargo area. The mids are amplified by a Soundstream TRX 4.880 amplifier to drive the Soundstream Tarntula TRC 6.5-inch components found throughout the cabin. Soundstream also supplied their Capcell battery and Stinger provided all of the power and ground wire as well as the fuse block. A PS2 slim has been integrated into the dash with a Power Acoustic rear LCD for gaming and DVD playback.

Italy can't take Costa Rica for granted in Group D showdown
SAO PAULO, Brazil – The winner of Italy-Costa Rica will jump into first place in Group D.
Who would have thought we'd hear that during the World Cup?
It isn't a surprise that Italy battling for the top spot, but Costa Rica?
Costa Rica is there's because they produced one of the most stunning World Cup results in recent years with their opening 3-1 win over Uruguay. It put them in a position where any result against Italy, even a tie, would put England and Uruguay under the gun.
Costa Rica was supposed to be nothing more than game filler in this group, one of the strongest in the tournament.
But the minnows have turned into sharks.
Uruguay, it turned out, was the victim but it could well have been England and Italy in that first game. All those teams would have undervalued the Costa Ricans.
Italy should thank Uruguay for the wake-up call. It's certain now that Italy won't take Costa Rica lightly.
The teams play in Recife on Friday at 12 p.m. EDT during the hottest part of the day. The Italians played in the heat and humidity of Manaus and handled it relatively well, but this is an environment Costa Rica thrives in.
"You have to face them prepared to play to the death because everyone would have predicted a victory for Uruguay," Italian midfielder Daniele De Rossi told the Italian media.
Costa Rica is a perfect example of how soccer has gone global. There may be some easy games in a World Cup tournament but they're getting harder and harder to find.
"Can we beat Costa Rica?" De Rossi said. "There is no longer a World Cup as it once was, like in Italy in '90 when games ended 8-0.
"We find teams are organized with strong players and you cannot afford to think that Italy will beat Costa Rica just because we are called Italy."
Costa Rica is the early darling of the tournament. Suddenly, the media is looking to find out more about the team's top players, players like Joel Campbell, Celso Borges, Randall Brenes and Heiner Mora.
Italy caused its own mini sensation with their 2-1 win over England. The world watched as a traditionally defensive minded team transformed itself into a one that is not afraid to go on the attack.
It's a transformation that seems to have pleased everyone. It's especially good for soccer.
Mario Balotelli and Andrea Pirlo are two of the players mentioned most often, but Italy has discovered two right-sided players that made the difference against England and gave Italy a needed offensive push.
Fullback Matteo Darmian and midfielder Antonio Candreva romped down that side repeatedly against England to create all sorts of danger.
If they can do it again and open up the middle Friday, Costa Rica doesn't have anyone that can handle Balotelli.
If Italy plays as well as it did against England, they shouldn't have problems scoring goals.
They do have some injury concerns, though.
Defender Andrea Barzagli trained separately from the group with a minor muscle problem.
Defender Mattia De Sciglio, who missed the England game, is still injured.
Costa Rica will want to run to see if they can wear down Italy especially along the flanks where England created problems.
"Their forwards are very agile and physical like England's," De Rossi said. "We need to play a similar match to the one we played against England. They know how to defend in one unit and they have quality up front, especially at centre forward."
Italy will indeed have to be careful because, without a doubt, the minnows-turned-sharks wouldn't mind a little Italian for their next meal.

Favorite Style Icon: Taylor Swift
T. Swift has seriously stepped her game in 2012. Yes, she's still sticking to the neutral colored dresses – but hey! That's okay. It works for her. Taylor Swift is really just doing all the right things when it comes to her style these days and it helps that there are a handful of fabulous designers throwing their pieces at her. It's awesome. I, of course, am jealous.

Well, they kept the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane, but everything else in Fox's "Sleepy Hollow," a genre-bending update of Washington Irving's classic tale, is up for grabs.
"Our mission is fun, to be fun and entertaining," said director Len Wiseman ("Live Free or Die Hard"), co-creator and executive producer of the show. "We really want to find the right balance of horror and fun."
In the series premiere, Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison of "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen") is waken from the limbo he has been in to find himself in the 21st century. He also finds that his 18th-century adversary, the Headless Horseman, has also returned as a portent of the apocalypse. But that's just the start of the changes.
Crane isn't the timid man from Irving's tale, either. Instead, he was a spy for George Washington during the Revolutionary War, in which he was wounded, and somehow landed in a cave for more than 200 years. The original story was set after the war in 1790; in the new series, that is when Ichabod's widow has been burned as a witch, although that practice stopped nearly a century before. This is all connected in the plot, but don't bother fact-checking American history for the show.
Needless to say, Crane is confused by this new world and all its contraptions. The British Mison says that he, too, is a bit mystified by everything going on in the series. "None of what you see from Ichabod is acting. I'm genuinely that baffled constantly," he deadpans.
Crane then teams with police Lt. Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie of "42") to fight the Headless Horseman, who has quickly adapted to the modern world, at least as far as weaponry is concerned, easily figuring out how to handle a shotgun and automatic weapons.
"One of the most exciting things about this is presenting the Headless Horseman in a new light," Wiseman said. "When he comes back, he's a man — we want to see how much perspective he can show without expression."
"Sleepy Hollow" has a solid pedigree. Its other two co-creators/executive producers are Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci ("Star Trek" and "Transformers" franchises, "Fringe," "Hawaii 5-0"), who point to another Fox show for inspiration.
"We were wildly, wildly influenced by 'The X Files,' " Wiseman said. "You know, even when we created 'Fringe,' it was the same thing. It's the gold standard of all gold standards in genre television, and it was so wonderful because you felt so much for those characters."
On the other hand, with a madman running around with an ax, the producers say none of their characters is safe except probably Crane, who Mison says "thinks he's the only sane person in the room, and everyone else is a maniac."

Peggy Moran, Age 90
Peggy Moran, a retired Professor Emeritus of English at Purdue University Calumet, who served on the school's faculty from 1965 to 1990, died on May 22, 2010 in Bloomington, Indiana. She had just celebrated her 90th birthday. Peggy's courage, sharp wit and indomitable intelligence were beloved by friends and family alike, and she will be greatly missed.
Peggy considered herself a Chicagoan, a city she loved and knew well. Born on May 18, 1920 in Milwaukee, WI, the child of the late Verne O. Mc- Clurg and Shirley Mallette McClurg, Peggy grew up in a small bungalow on Chicago's South Side in a family of seven children – the McClurgs of Avalon Park. She remained close to her family her entire life, and the numerous gatherings and songfests in that bungalow provided many a tale. Peggy attended Hirsch High School in Chicago, where her remarkable singing and acting skills were often on display. She attended the University of Michigan in the 1940s but finished up her studies later with degrees from Roosevelt and DePaul universities before beginning her teaching career.
Following her love of a good story, she developed courses in the detective and spy genre and science fiction at Purdue where her focus was on popular culture. In addition, she developed courses in college level reading, and helped thousands of students to learn basic study and reading skills, to think and write clearly, and to understand and appreciate literature. She also served as the coordinator of the reading-skills program, and chaired and served on many faculty and college committees including the Council of Faculty Delegates.
Peggy resigned from the classroom due to impaired vision as a result of macular degeneration; however, she refused to let the fact that she was blind hamper her enjoyment of literature or live theater. She became very well known to Talking Books and to the reference librarians at the Monroe County Library, and was never found without her trusty tape player. Using recorded books, she became an expert on several eras of American history, including the Civil War, to the erudition and improvement of her family.
With the assistance of a group of varied and intrepid friends, she continued to indulge her passion for live theater until the last year of her life. Peggy attended the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario continuously from 1965 to 2009 with various iterations of this friendship group. Their annual pilgrimage became the highlight of her year.
Peggy had an unconquerable spirit, an unusual and eloquent mind and a loving heart. She adored her grandchildren, decorating her house in lively and unexpected ways, and all things Christmas. She was never afraid to speak her mind or champion an unpopular cause and was an inspiration to many.
Peggy was preceded in death by her brothers, Richard McClurg of Costa Mesa, CA and Jack McClurg of San Diego, CA.
She is survived by her sisters, Claire Edgar of Tucson, AZ and Shirley Loper of Seattle, WA; her brothers, William McClurg of Hazel Crest, IL and David McClurg of Vallejo, CA; her children, Jesse Singerman of Iowa City, IA, John Wiegand and Terry Moran Duffin of Bloomington, IN, and their spouses. In addition, she is survived by seven grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and dearly loved nieces, nephews and friends. Contributions in Peggy's memory may be made to the Monroe County Public Library in Bloomington, Indiana.
A Celebration of Life will take place Saturday, June 26, 2010, 2 p.m. at the Allen Funeral Home, 4155 S. Old State Road 37, Bloomington, IN. Visitation will take place from 1-2 p.m. prior to services at the funeral home.

Donovan McNabb remains convinced that he will remain an Eagle.
Furthermore, he insists that's exactly what he wants.
After practicing with the other players on the NFC roster this morning at a Fort Lauderdale High School, McNabb was surrounded by a large media gathering here to cover the Pro Bowl.
In a later one-on-one interview with the Inquirer, McNabb said he takes Eagles coach Andy Reid at his word when he says he will return next season as the team's starting quarterback.
"That's all that matters," McNabb said. "I heard it when he said it to you guys, but I heard it before anyway. I think a lot of people look too far into things with all the assumptions about what could happen. (Reid) told everybody I'm going to be there and I'm his guy. I don't see anything that anybody else should look into."
McNabb also said he wants to be in Philadelphia even though he's about to endure another offseason debate about whether or not he should remain the Eagles' quarterback. He said that doesn't bother him in the least.
"It really doesn't," McNabb said. "What's wild about it is when you go somewhere, that's what everybody brings up: 'Hey, man, where you going to be?' "
McNabb said his answer is always the same: "Uh, Philly."
"It would only affect you if you allow it to," McNabb said. "This isn't my first go-around with it. I've been going through this the last three or four years."
Unlike a year ago after the season ended, McNabb is not lobbying for a contract extension or alteration even though he's about to enter the last year of his current deal.
"I don't think we should really focus on that," McNabb said. "I love playing the game and that's what it comes down to. I am under contract for another year. We don't know what's going to happen in 2011. We just don't know. If I have to come back and play (in Philadelphia), hey that's great. I would love to. I love this team and I love being around these guys and competing. I think good things could happen for us."
McNabb insisted that he has never given much thought to playing elsewhere.
"No," he said. "I let other people think about that. For me, the grass being greener is really what field you're playing on. When you're in Philadelphia, obviously, there are ups and there are downs. I've been a part of it for 11 years, so I don't let it affect me."
Even though the Eagles' season ended with consecutive lopsided losses to the Dallas Cowboys, McNabb believes this team could still be a Super Bowl contender in 2010.
"We're not far away at all," McNabb said. "We went on a six-game winning streak, we made good things happen with an explosive offense, the defense came around, everybody started playing well and then those two games hit, which was unfortuate. But it happens. It happened to us against the Cowboys, it happened to the Cowboys against Minnesota and to Minnesota against the Saints."

Belmont High likely will keep Red Raider mascotBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
April 17. 2014 2:01PM
BELMONT – By a 3-1 margin, residents and students at a special student council meeting Wednesday night voted to keep the school's Red Raider mascot and the face on the school logo, which features a caricature of an American Indian and a headdress.
Because of the heavy opposition to changing the mascot, it looks like the school will stay with it, said Principal Daniel Clary.
"The vast majority of people like the Red Raider, and we're sticking with that unless the school board decides differently," he said.
Of about 75 people who came to the meeting, 48 stayed late to fill out student ballots on the mascot issue, which was brought to the council by students concerned that the image is unflattering, disrespectful, and to some, a racist stereotype.
The results of the poll were 12 in favor of changing the mascot, with 36 in favor of keeping it.
At the meeting, several adults and citizens spoke on the issue in what many in attendance remarked was a very well run, respectful meeting, with loud applause from the audience to all points of view expressed. No angry voices were raised.
Belmont Selectman Ron Cormier, an alumni of the high school who wants to keep the mascot and logo as is, said the meeting was better than most meetings in town. He urged the students to put the issue on a town ballot.
"There are more people here than I usually see at town meeting," he said, bringing laughs from the audience.
As the meeting went on, it was clear that most people in attendance – including almost every student who spoke – also favored keeping the mascot and logo as they are.
The three student council members who gave a presentation Wednesday night will give the same presentation soon to the Shaker Regional School District School Board. Juniors Taylor Becker and Ashley Fenimore and sophomore Andrew Bragg will also present the results of the poll to school board members, who will have the final say in the matter.
Bragg led the presentation and responded directly to several students who rose to speak against it. He and his fellow councilors explained that Native Americans do not like images of stereotypical warriors used at mascots.
The council members played a video featuring American Indians speaking against the stereotypes commonly used in mascots. At the end of the presentation, Fenimore explained that the issue came up in a social studies class, and after some discussion, council members decided they wanted to change the face on the logo.
The students favored keeping the Red Raider name but said they didn't want an ethnic stereotype attached to it, so they want to remove the face.
As the meeting when on, others suggested that the school should drop the "Red" in Red Raiders. By doing that, student Matt Leclair said, the school would "get rid of the racial slur ahead of the Raider."
But student Cory Yelle spoke directly to Bragg from the podium, strongly disagreeing with any change.
"We honor the logo, it represents sportsmanship and character. The logo is on our shirts, the other teams see it for a second and then we get on with playing the best game we can and honoring our school," he said.
Yelle's sister, freshman Taylor Yelle, wore a Red Raiders team uniform to the meeting.
Before she graduated to Belmont High School, "I was looking forward to wearing this Red Raider shirt, it's a symbol of pride and honor," she said to applause.
At the end of the meeting, Clary and other teachers and administrators at the meeting were beaming, happily surprised that the meeting went so well, and that the students brought the issue to the public.
"I can't think of many times that I've been more proud of a group of people as I am of these students," Clary said, to loud applause from the crowd.

Unbeaten Indiana eager for 2nd meeting against Bulls with chance to pull away in Central
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana keeps talking about the big picture.
It wants the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, and the only way the Pacers think they can get there is by winning every night.
So rather than savor the best start in franchise history, the longest winning streak in the franchise's NBA history or the first 9-0 start in the league since 2002-03, the Pacers are going back to work with one goal Saturday — beating Chicago.
"We really started the year with that mindset knowing that Chicago's going to make a run at some point, Miami's going to make a run at some point, and we've just kept that in the back of our minds in terms of winning the games that we feel like we should win," power forward David West said after Indiana's latest victory, a 104-77 win over Milwaukee on Friday night.
Indiana has taken advantage of its early chances, too.
In less than three weeks, the Pacers have already built a three-game lead on Miami in the East and hold a four-game edge over the Bulls (4-3) in the Central Division. Another win Saturday would make Indiana the 14th team in league history to go 10-0 and put Indiana on the cusp of matching the franchise's longest winning streak ever, 11 games in 1972-73 when the Pacers were still an ABA powerhouse.
Beat the Bulls, and there's no telling how long this streak could go.
After Chicago, they get a three-day break before heading to the Knicks. They back-to-back games at Boston and at home against Philadelphia next weekend before closing November by hosting Minnesota, traveling to Charlotte and returning home to face Washington. Then they embark on a weeklong West Coast swing that starts against the Clippers.
Some Pacers fans are already eyeing the league record start: 15-0 by the Washington Capitols in 1948-49 and matched by Houston in 1993-94, according to STATS.
Players and coaches, however, are so focused on Saturday's game, they're not even pondering the ramifications of what another win over Chicago would mean — a five-game lead and clinching at least a split in the four-game season series. The only things they care about are getting better and beating whomever shows up on the schedule next.
"We have Chicago (Saturday), might as well just get a little bit a rest," center Roy Hibbert said when asked whether he would have liked to have played more minutes Friday night when he fell two blocks short of a triple double. "That's going to be a big game tomorrow."
The Bulls could be at a disadvantage Saturday.
Derrick Rose, the NBA's 2011 MVP, missed Friday night's game at Toronto with a right hamstring injury. Team officials said Rose would be re-evaluated before Saturday night.
If Rose can't play, Kirk Hinrich would likely start. Hinrich scored 12 points in Chicago's first road win of the season and played well when Rose sat out last year with a knee injury.
"Kirk's a great player, man," Bulls forward Carlos Boozer said after Chicago's 96-80 victory over the Raptors. "He's underrated. He does a great job running our team, gets us in our sets. He hit some big shots in the third and fourth quarter for us, too."
Even with Rose, the Pacers still blew out Chicago 97-80 last week — Indiana's most lopsided win until Friday night's blowout.
So far, nobody has played better than the Pacers. They're allowing a league-low 83.7 points per game and are limiting opponents to 38.6 percent shooting — easily the best defensive field goal percentage in the league. Indiana has the highest scoring differential (plus-12.2), the most blocks by a team (81), the league's No. 1 shot blocker in Hibbert (4.8) and is one of only five teams with at least three road wins this season.
The Bulls have been here before.
In March, without Rose, Chicago ended Miami's 27-game winning streak, and the Bulls would love to it again.
"It'll be a great test," Hinrich said. "They're playing as good as anybody in the league right now."
The Pacers insist there is no time for a break.
While they did start sluggishly against the injury-riddled Bucks after a three-day layoff, the Pacers quickly seized control. The trailed just twice all night, for a total of 64 seconds, and then steadily pulled away.
But as they chase the top seed in the East and what they hope will lead to their first NBA title in June, the Pacers have no plan to let off the gas — or take a break.
For them, it's all about putting the championship pieces together.
"Every game could be the difference between home-court advantage and not having home-court advantage, whether we're playing team with a losing record on the road or a great team like Chicago, it doesn't matter," coach Frank Vogel said. "We're on a mission and we're trying to put ourselves in best possible position come playoff time."

The Dalles There is reason to believe The Dalles Wahtonka boys' golf team could be a group poised to take the Columbia River Conference by storm.
Mostly, the indication of such a cavalier statement can be pointed to the first two tournaments the Eagle Indians have competed in.
In their opening event this season, TDW wound up in eighth place with a team tally of 410, but on March 21 at Big River Golf Course in Hermiston, the group shaved 36 strokes off their totals for a 374.
Twenty-six year head coach Kent Smith is cautiously optimistic that the best is coming sooner rather than later.
"They are getting better and they want to get better. With these scores, it shows the practice time is helping," Smith said. "We still need to get our scores down a little more and I won't be satisfied until we get to that point. It will come down to our short game and putting. If we can improve on those, we can make a move."
In Hermiston, Nick Glesener showed a 10-stroke improvement and wound up four strokes from taking fifth place in the individual standings.
He carded a 45 on the front nine and capped play with a 44.
"Nick could be one of our best players if he continues to practice hard and with a purpose," Smith said. "He is talented and has some experience from last year."
The duo of Coby Conlee and Bailey Ortega showed the most improvement on the squad by knocking off 11 shots apiece to their numbers.
Conlee had a 46-50 for a 96 overall, while the freshman Ortega added a scorching opening front side of 42, and then finished his tournament run with a 52 to score a 94.
No. 1 golfer Dakota Green maintained his consistency on the scorecards with his second consecutive 95 score.
He started out his run with a 46 and stroked a 49 on the back nine for his numbers.
"Dakota is another greatly improved player from last year," Smith said. "He has made some changes in his swing and is improving. He put in extra work and wants to keep getting better this season."
In the No. 5 slot, senior teammates Dylan Fitzgerald and Bobby MacLeod will switch off from time to time based on head-to-head matches.
After taking a tournament off, senior Dylan Fitzgerald jotted down a 113 in his first varsity event and MacLeod had a 116, so that tandem is closely matched in talent.
That group is looking to keep the positive trend of the program going.
Two years ago, Connor Batty secured a state slot and last season, Greg Glesener punched a state ticket.
Before that, Damian Telles was picking up headlines for his standout play for the program.
Within this squad, Smith sees a few athletes who have a legitimate shot to keep the streak going.
"We're very excited about the season," Smith added. "We have some good talent at the top and our depth is pretty good with young, talented golfers. We're optimistic."
For the first time in a while, the Eagle Indians feel like they have enough depth to challenge each week.
In tempering his enthusiasm, Smith said he uses a lot of patience in working with this young team, hoping that a positive coaching approach breeds success.
"We still have a lot of work to do. It is hard especially with the inexperienced players because you don't know what to expect," Smith said. "A lot of it depends on how they handle the pressures of playing against some other teams in tournaments on courses they have never played on before. It will take some timer."
Smith has gone back to basics with his team in hoping they can maintain this edge.
Some areas that will get some extra time include the short game, putting, consistent drives and some keen troubleshooting tactics to help work out game situations.
It is tough as well because many of the golfers stash away their bags after the season, and then dust them off at the start of February.
Even so, it does not delay the teaching moments.
"Our biggest problem right now is course management. We don't take the shots we need to take," Smith said. "The kids think the harder they swing, the further the ball travels. If we rush too much, bad things are going to happen. In competition, they tend to try to do too much. We just need to get back to basics."
The rest of the CRC will be a tough nut to crack overall.
Hermiston is 1 for 2 in two recent tournaments with a second place outcome at The Dalles Invitational on March 15.
Among that top level, Zach Evans figure to be the big gunner on a team that has averaged 345 in two tournaments.
Pendleton is also in the conversation as well with Walker Hoolehan and Reilly Hagerty on the roster. In Hermiston, the Buckaroos finished in second place behind Hermiston with a 353.
The goal is to get TDW within those 340-350 totals to get a team state berth.
"If they can get a couple of strokes off their score, they have a shot," Smith said. "Anything is possible, and that is what makes this season so unpredictable. It really depends on what team shows up and performs at their best under pressure situations. We have great hopes that they are going to get the job done."
TDW is at the Wildhorse Invitational in Pendleton at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 1.
After that, the Eagle Indians have two weeks off, before hitting the links again in Bend for a tournament at 10 a.m. on March 15.

A never-before-seen and never-to-be-seen-again meteor shower might provide a free show high above the holiday activities this weekend.
Scientists say the May Camelopardalids, dust particles surrounding comet 209P/LINEAR, will graze the night sky Friday and could produce a view as stunning as the Perseid meteor showers in August. The peak time to see the meteors in the Southland will be between 11 p.m. Friday and 1 a.m. Saturday morning. The comets will travel due north.
"If the May Camelopardalids occur Saturday morning, it will be the first time mankind has seen this shower," said Bill Cooke, lead for NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office.
But that's a big "if."
This is the first time Earth and the comet's trajectory will intersect. Comet 209P/LINEAR has been since around since the 1800s, but was first discovered in 2004. There's no precedenct to gauge what kind of nighttime show, if any, the May Camelopardalids could present.
"The shower is either going to be impressive, or nothing at all," said Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge. "This comet has not yet produced a meteor shower, but computer models have suggested if material was released by the comet in the past couple of years, then this year, the Earth should be running into the material that's following the comet in orbit."
But with a cloudy weekend forecast and the city's light pollution, the chances of seeing much of the historic meteor shower are slim.
Still, comet 209P/LINEAR has the ability to generate 200 meteors per hour, even more than annual meteor showers like the Perseids in August. There's also a chance for "a fireball or two," Yeomans said.
But with the clouds and distant light pollution, spectators may only see about 30 or 40 meteors per hour in the desert, and maybe five an hour in the suburbs.
"It's possible you will be able to see much more than that, but people are being fairly conservative with their predictions," said Anthony Cook, astronomical observer at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. "That doesn't mean it won't be worth watching. It's possible there will be some very bright ones. Even in the city, it's possible."
The observatory, as usual, will close at 10 p.m. Friday, before the shower's peak. Cook advised sky watchers to head west of Malibu to see the shower away from obstructive light pollution.
Comet 209P/LINEAR comes from near Jupiter, which exerts a gravitational pull on the comet and tugs free debris. The weekend's meteors will radiate from a point in the "giraffe" constellation Camelopardalis, Cooke said.
"It'll help us validate our predictions," he said. "There are a lot of interesting things we can learn by counting meteors Saturday morning."
Cooke will be hosting a live web chat to coincide with the meteor shower.
Unlike the more than 40 annual meteor showers each year, the May Camelopardalids will be a one-time show.
"This is just an unusual alignment of particles," Yeomans said. "It just happens to be running into Earth's orbit, but I don't think we can expect it to come back routinely."

Breakfast cereal with fruit? Ammunition for the argument that all the good urls are gone? FWIX is partnering with the New York Times, a statement that would have seemed like a punchline a decade ago. Now the FWIX partnership is part of the expanding local experimentation of the Times and tells us lots about the Times' strategic direction, its multi-front competition with Dow Jones and a more nuanced recognition of what putting content under your brand means these digital days.
Further, it tells us that national papers increasingly are becoming more competitive with local ones.
FWIX is run by Darian Shirazi, a 23-year-old former software engineer, already experienced at Facebook and Ebay. Its main funder, BlueRun Ventures, has put $2.5 million into the company. The goal: tapping into the bonanza of local ad dollars to come, and doing it on the sweat of smarter and smarter filtering technology. That market: $15 billion in local online ad dollars in 2010, as forecast by Borrell Associates; $36.7 billion by 2014 according to Kelsey.
FWIX sounds a lot like Outside.in, which incidentally signed up Dow Jones' local newspaper group last fall, as the two national giants, the Times and the Journal/Dow Jones seem to be butting heads in every conceivable way and location, from Midtown to Middle America.
The idea of the FWIX's and Outside.ins: provide a round-up of the best local news, by aggregating local news sources, big-time and small, blog, story and broadcast, professional and user-gen, applying some hierarchy of quality to it. Both efforts race for the same audiences and related advertising as the original content-creators, AOL's newly expanding Patch and Examiner.com. In addition to those of course, the number of hyperlocal efforts increases by the day (and some of them are being rounded up by local dailies, witness the Seattle Times aggregation, for instance).
For newspaper companies, it's a smart move. It's the end of an era, and the Times is clearly moving on a new philosophy: gather as much higher-quality content under its brands, national and regional, on as low a cost basis as possible. In fact, that's become a driving principle NYT Editor Bill Keller's been talking up. So we see the new partnerships in the Bay Area and Chicago with professionally run non-profits, and we see the hyperlocal experimentation with The Locals, in New Jersey, Brooklyn and soon, with Jay Rosen, in the East Village (for the substance and spirit behind the push, read Jay's post enthusiastic post). With FWIX, the Times will experiment at its regional newspaper properties first, rather than NYTimes.com, with Santa Rosa apparently up first.
The new-fangled word for it is curation, rounding up lots of content, providing some hierarchy of value. Of course, it's just good editing, bolstered by intelligent technology, and a growing flexibility to accept and work with a wider world of voices, styles and views.
Importantly, it also asserts that readers are smart: they can tell the difference between a New York Times (or Sarasota Herald) byline and that of a community contributor. That assertion is a Pro-Am gamble for the Times and all proud brands, but it's one that should be made -- and backed up with clear, prominent and never-ending disclosure. Grab the future, but keep explaining it to readers whose understanding of the changes will always be uneven. (Last fall, Times Digital Initiative Editor Jim Schachter, who is behind many of the local forays, did a Q and A on the Times site, which tells you a lot about the company's evolving philosophy.)
Put the Locals, the FWIX experimentation and the Chicago/Bay Area partnerships (though the latter is most intended to retain/increase print circulation), and you have the makings of the remaking of the U.S. news landscape.
It used to be that 1500 daily local papers brought their readers the whole world -- from city to state to nation to globe, with business, sports, lifestyle and entertainment tossed in. The Times, the Journal and USA Today were the three national reads, supplements to the local dailies, with local single-digit penetration in any metro market.
Now those roles are getting reversed. The local dailies are increasingly becoming purely local, and the national papers are getting local, adding local print editions, getting hyperlocal, finding ways to serve their readers' (and advertisers') needs beyond national/global. It's mainly a Times/Journal fight, but just this week, USA Today set up a big new local distribution play, joining the Times at Starbucks stores across the country.
It's a confusing landscape. What's local? What's national? What's digital? What's print? It's a patchwork age, and nobody's got the answers, but as home turfs have shrunken everywhere, everyone's looking for new lands to conquer.

Oh haha, I get it, its so funny because men never get sexually harassed or assaulted. You see because women are incapable of behaving that way. It's SOOOOO funny to reverse the genders because its not like when a man is harassed or assaulted he is ridiculed for not enjoying it, Its not like even serious sexual assaults against men are more often than not almost completely ignored, yet the mere insinuation that anyone might find women who go to a convention in skimpy attire for the sole purpose of an ego boost annoying is simply some petty little tit at best and some sort of rape apologizing misogynist at worst.
I have to admit when I saw it in the latest banner I was kinda taken aback.
Loved it, the byline, the paragraph, all of it, hilarious shit keep it up.
I do love it when they do comics like this, subtle as a claw hammer and pure gold in the comment threads.
Don't think they've topped the Retake Mass Effect comic yet, though.
**Brony Nit-pick!**
Rainbow-Dash does not have green eyes, she has pink eyes. This comic is now completely invalid : P
I find this comic very unrealistic. Not enough stranded whales.
I'm sick of these fake whores pretending to give a shit about MLP just so they can get attention from poor, innocent bronies who deserve to be treated like more than ego-boosters. I mean, if you're a woman and you don't even know what Rainbow-Dash's eye colour is, you have no business attending cons. Manipulative harpies like that should be fucking hunted like the dogs they are so they can't harm decent people who have shed blood and tears to get a little respect from society. There, I said it.
I have a question semi related to the message in this comic.
Wow, I'm glad I'm not a brony and I don't attend conventions. Also double standard much.
Why do you get to decide who gets to decide then? I don't really think that's a defensible position.
I'm not making any claims about the topic at hand, just asking a question.
I think you should word your question better. I have no idea what you are asking.
Oh dear god the amount of people commenting who failed to get the REALLY OBVIOUS POINT.
To be fair, the sarcasm was really heavy there.
My apologies.
More of a heckle than a question, but fair enough.
If you're hanging around being cold and distant,or being actively abusive and hateful, you're not going to impress the girl you're going with. It's usually pretty obvious to everyone else when someone is stuck somewhere they don't want to be.
Have you actually watched any of the show?
Gonna have to agree.(can't stop looking at your avatar... But then wasn't that the point of the comic?
The point is that no one, not bronies, not women, not any minority of any kind ever "knows better" and will pull the same kind of crap that they deal with if they can.
Curious, I've never been to a Brony con, but I do have a fondness for My Little Pony. I only identify my like for MLP within itself though, I am not keen to join a community about it. The comic linked in the OP is quite amusing, I've seen this type of behaviour from young ladies in the few gaming conventions I have attended, so I could believe that this sort of thing can happen.
But that is not the point of this comic, is it? This is a gender reversal of something that tends to happen in any disparity of gender in any community, which in my mind defeats the purpose of the comic. Untill you pay attention to the petty little tit. Then this merely turns into one big sarcasm and a funny one at that. :)
Nothing should ever be assumed of an individual's motivations for being at a particular event, even if they display their motivations to be ignorant of the content of the community attending. If guys want to gawk at 'booth babes' then fair enough, and similarly should a woman want to stalk the floor looking for 'easy love' then yet again, fair enough. But this is not a perfect world, people will and do judge each other based on their own perceptions and preferences.
If a small group of women come into contact with a large group of men, they will draw attention, similarly the reverse is also true. What type of attention depends on the needs of the individuals of the group. Certainly, of all of the gaming conventions I attended, I had became inanely bored because of the fact that I simply wanted to play my games on my own those days. No amount of booth babes, attention seekers or overly enthusiastic street fighter players was going to allieviate my boredom.
Watching people fight over their assumed motivations can be funny to watch, though.
EDIT: PS: Twilight is craziest pony. No, dont bring up cupca- *suddenly disappears, dun-dun-dun*
I can't speak for anyone but I can assume they wouldn't care more than anybody else. I mean, if I don't know you then obviously I couldn't care about how you feel about a TV show. MLP is after all a TV show, not a religion. I'm a bit sorry you have to go to a con about something you hate. That sounds like a bummer.
I hope for this world too.
I have watched 3 episodes.
It gets much better around episode 5 or 6.
However, in response to your question I'll reiterate that going is probably not a great way to impress your ladyfriend. It's usually very obvious when someone is at a concert or convention and not enjoying it, you hanging around being mopey or bored is very likely to ruin her fun.
You can't convince someone to not have shit tastes.
Again, you are missing the point. Wanna-bes are ok, it means the cosplaying and such "lite" interests are can be a gateway to more, for lack of a better team, hardcore nerd things.
It's not just women he's talking about, and he shouldn't have used it in the title. And he refers to cosplayers too much. But he has admitted he has talked to some cosplayers and discovered very quickly they don't care, and are there for another purpose.
We can admit that a real booth babe probably is only there for the job (model for hire), but again, that's not what he's talking about.
It's the poachers, the users, who act like vampires and have no care of the geekdom, but just want to profit either through making something already scarce even more so or for attention. They suck up an attendee pass to sell at inflated prices, which is especially bad if the event is very popular and sell out quickly (i.e. PAX, SDCC). Pick up con exclusives, again, to Ebay. And all the while they go around and insult the people that they are profiting from.
Another good example I recall in that thread (which I don't have a link to off hand), would be someone who goes to an author signing, admits he's never read any of their books (or any books for that matter), never will, doesn't care for the genre and intends on selling the autographed book on Ebay because he knows someone will pay out the nose for it.
And you are right, in that the problem is much smaller than the article seems to allude to, but they are there.
Point noted.
Indeed. It is both slightly worrisome and downright hilarious that so many people fail to grasp sarcasm this heavy.
~18 years of obsession with anime has predisposed me to liking ridiculous characters and bright colors. I can understand how it isn't for everyone, though.
Also, on-topic:
It is definitely hilarious how many people this went right past.
That was pretty clever, I thought you were referring to an actual story of this happening for a second.
Gotta disagree here. Learning how not to be a giant dick when roped into a not-entirely-shared interest is just a basic social skill. Go and be supportive, enjoy that she's having fun. It's not like cons happen twice a week.
After reading over the article linked, and thinking over the term "6 of 9" the more I realize how fitting the meaning is.
I feel you are completely missing the point of that article by a good mile, and so is the reason for it being linked in the comic. As stated in the article:
While I do not attend cons myself, I do know a few cosplayers from a LARP I participate in, each of them being female. I have seen the effort that they put into their costumes in order to pull it off, and the dedication they have to the source material. They're some of the most diehard fans out there for their respective materials. And judging from the pictures I see from some cons, the effort displayed in the costuming skills of several, they are not alone.
They are not the only ones who attend these events. Again, when I see pictures of cosplayers from cons, some stick out very sourly as people who have gone their only to flaunt their sex appeal. These are the 6 of 9's spoken of in the article.
To illustrate, let's show an example:
This is an attractive cosplayer.
I would be surprised if this was a real cosplayer who was a fan of comic book culture.
One of these people has obviously gone to some lengths to ensure there is some dedication and accuracy to the costume they are wearing, while the other likely threw on some underwear with blue stars, put on the skimpiest top possible, and slapped a couple pieces of fucking tinfoil to their wrists in a couple minutes.
I'll end this by saying that in my mind, there are 4 possibilities for a cosplayer:
1) Fan of Material + Extensive Work Done on Attire = Dedicated Cosplayer
2) Not Fan of Material + Extensive Work Done on Attire = Someone who loves to make costumes and dress up in them, may be a fan of other aspects but would like to costume as something else
3) Fan of Material + Little Effort Done on Costume = Someone who is a fan, but either lacks the skills, time, initiative, etc. to dedicate to dressing up to the role
4) Not a Fan of Material + Little Effort Done on Costume = Why are you here?
And while it's true that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, and that the only way you'll confirm which of these 4 potential categories a person falls under is by actually talking to them and such (And don't feel the need to investigate if they are or are not a fan just for the sake of confirming suspicions, go do something else), there is no denying that there are attention whores out there, both male and female, who only do what they do to attract the attention of others. After all, there exist booth babes.
Again, I will say, I am not a con attender, I do not have firsthand experience, but what I do have are the stories I've been told by those who do, and the pictures shown of some that go. I do believe this wannabe phenomenon of 6 of 9 really does exist.
I would go a step further and say it doesn't matter if they're attractive or not. Any unwanted sexual attention is usually irritating. On separate occasions, I've had both unattractive and attractive women go too far in trying to get into my pants. Obnoxious on all levels (and usually kills any sense of attraction, even for the ones that look good). Speaking of unsolicited attention...
OT: I had to dig deep to grasp the point behind the comic. Good on ya for making me do research to get the point. In regards to the guy's article, I think it was a fair point stated lousily and failing to see the true cause. Since I can't attest to CONs (which I've never been to), I'll extrapolate to my own personal gaming community when coming to these conclusions.
I think that there is a very real minority of "gamer" and "geek" girls who fall into the a category of "attention seekers". In my own personal experience, these are usually girls who hang out with their fellow nerds in middle/high school. They develop a sort of symbiotic relationship where geek girls and boys have sort of a sexual tension where they both act like each other's training wheels when interacting with the other gender. Girls get the benefit of feeling desirable and boys get "safety net" interactions in regards to their feelings and interests.
The problem for both sides becomes when they don't move past that stage. In relation to the article, women who are in this arrested development tend to tie their sexual identity to the guys in a geek group and assume that the men, in turn, will be interested. When they aren't around 13 year old boys, they act out further to gain the attention that they are not getting simply by being there. This usually manifests as the person in question consistently drawing attention away from the game with sexual comments about themselves and/or shamelessly flirting with everyone in the group.
I hope that this post isn't flamed for me being the devil's advocate, but I can't be the only one who runs into these sorts of women in the gaming community. And, although I'm not taking a morale judgement or saying that they are less geek than I, I feel that their presence is as unwanted as "the guy who takes games way too seriously". At least, I don't want to game with them.
This is going to sound horrible in context to the very REAL problem of con harassment, but I'd kind of LIKE it if I got that sort of attention from some women.
Well then it's just a problem that exists everwhere, and is pretty shadey in a lot areas (specifically reselling tickets at inflated prices, I was under the impression there were often rules against that). So why does the originally linked article focus on A) geek stuff and B) women? Especially since the problem you just described has absolutely nothing to do with women dressing up and trying to look attractive, which is what he was bitching about.
But what's your point? I acknowledged that these people are real in my second post, but I still don't see what threat they represent to everyone else at the convention. I'm not calling the people who talk about them liars, I just don't see why it's such a big deal. If convention attenders do pay attention to them, is it the duty of whoever's in charge to throw them out in order to protect the oh-so-vulnerable nerds?
Are they taking up a limited supply of tickets? Maybe, though I have to wonder how much the convention meant to you if you were beaten to the punch by someone who has no interest in the subject of the convention.
And I just... I just can't wrap my head around how mind-numbingly horrible the phrase "6 of 9s" is to me. It implies that if they were really 9s, that would be okay. It implies that if they believe themselves to be 9s and he doesn't, they should realise the mediocrity of their appearance. It implies... Well, it uses the "attractiveness out of 10" system at all, which is surely reason enough to ignore it. Maybe that's me white knighting a bit too far, but it seems like a really mean spirited term to use for people who could very well be doing this because of self esteem issues.
The amount of awesome in this comic is off the charts.
This is a bad thing? Seems pretty awesome to me...

or equivalently, if the joint density exists,
A set of random variables is pairwise independent if and only if every pair of random variables is independent. Even if the set of random variables is pairwise independent, it is not necessarily mutually independent as defined next.
A set of random variables is mutually independent if and only if for any finite subset and any finite sequence of numbers , the events are mutually independent events (as defined above).
The measure-theoretically inclined may prefer to substitute events { X ∈ A } for events { X ≤ a } in the above definition, where A is any Borel set . That definition is exactly equivalent to the one above when the values of the random variables are real numbers . It has the advantage of working also for complex-valued random variables or for random variables taking values in any measurable space (which includes topological spaces endowed by appropriate σ-algebras).
Linguistic structures are pairings of meaning and form. Any particular pairing of meaning and form is a Saussurean . For instance, the meaning "cat" is represented worldwide with a wide variety of different sound patterns (in oral languages), movements of the hands and face (in sign languages ), and written symbols (in written languages).
Linguists focusing on structure attempt to understand the rules regarding language use that native speakers know (not always consciously). All linguistic structures can be broken down into component parts that are combined according to (sub)conscious rules, over multiple levels of analysis. For instance, consider the structure of the word "tenth" on two different levels of analysis. On the level of internal word structure (known as morphology), the word "tenth" is made up of one linguistic form indicating a number and another form indicating ordinality. The rule governing the combination of these forms ensures that the ordinality marker "th" follows the number "ten." On the level of sound structure (known as phonology), structural analysis shows that the "n" sound in "tenth" is made differently from the "n" sound in "ten" spoken alone. Although most speakers of English are consciously aware of the rules governing internal structure of the word pieces of "tenth", they are less often aware of the rule governing its sound structure. Linguists focused on structure find and analyze rules such as these, which govern how native speakers use language.
Linguistics has many sub-fields concerned with particular aspects of linguistic structure. The theory that elucidates on these, as propounded by Noam Chomsky, is known as generative theory or universal grammar . These sub-fields range from those focused primarily on form to those focused primarily on meaning. They also run the gamut of level of analysis of language, from individual sounds, to words, to phrases, up to cultural discourse.
Sub-fields that focus on a grammatical study of language include the following.
Stylistics is the study and interpretation of texts for aspects of their linguistic and tonal style. Stylistic analysis entails the analysis of description of particular dialects and registers used by speech communities. Stylistic features include rhetoric , [37] diction, stress, satire , irony , dialogue, and other forms of phonetic variations. Stylistic analysis can also include the study of language in canonical works of literature, popular fiction, news, advertisements, and other forms of communication in popular culture as well. It is usually seen as a variation in communication that changes from speaker to speaker and community to community. In short, Stylistics is the interpretation of text.

Manchester chief says heroin won't be going awayBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 21. 2014 10:06PM
MANCHESTER — Manchester Police Chief David Mara said he knows the arrest of nearly 30 people on drug sale charges this week won't stop heroin use in the city. But he said Friday: "We want to make it very uncomfortable to sell drugs in Manchester."
Twenty-five of the people arrested in Operation Clean Sweep were arraigned Thursday and Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on charges of selling heroin, crack cocaine, oxycodone and marijuana.
While the sales cited were mostly in 2013, with a few in 2012, in many of the cases, Mara said: "These people are still out there drug dealing."
Clean Sweep began Wednesday and continued Thursday morning with eight arrest teams and a list of 34 names. Mara announced the operation Thursday afternoon, with representatives of the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Hillsborough County law enforcement agencies shortly after the first of the arrestees were arraigned in Circuit Court.
Another group was arraigned Friday morning in Circuit Court, where most had high bail set, with a requirement that there be a hearing on the source of any funds offered for bail, in an effort to ensure that drug profits are not used to get them out of jail.
Mara acknowledged a roundup of low level dealers won't seriously hamper sales. "It's a short-term solution," said Mara, who said he intends to keep making arrests, trying to get to the mid- and upper-level dealers.
For this operation, he said, he told his officers: "Go with the warrants." The people arrested in Clean Sweep are accused of selling drugs to undercover police officers or confidential informants.
At least one of those arrested is familiar with drug sweeps.
Joseph Barlow, 32, is charged with sale of both oxycodone and cocaine in 2013. He was also arrested in two earlier drug sweep operations, once at age 17 in 1998, when crack cocaine and cocaine were the targets, and again in 2008, when the biggest hauls were cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs, with a minor amount of heroin.
Although he was convicted of drug sales in connection with the 2008 arrest, Barlow is now in the New Hampshire State Prison on an habitual offender conviction. His bail is $10,000 cash/surety with a March 6 probable cause hearing.
One of the drug-related arrests was brought as a theft charge.
Mark Sweet, 28, of 978 Union St., was charged with theft by unauthorized taking, because he allegedly took $250 from a police officer, but failed to provide the oxycodone he had "sold" the officer.
In court Friday, Sweet said: "This was very unexpected." He asked for a reduction in the proposed bail of $10,000 cash/surety, saying: "I'm supposed to begin a new job Monday." Judge William Lyons set bail at $3,000 cash/surety and trial was set for April 2.
A prosecutor said Sweet has a November 2012 drug conviction and in September 2013 was convicted of five counts of receiving stolen property and five of theft by deception. Mara said many of the dealers are also users and their need for drugs, and for money to pay for them, are behind a surge in burglaries, robberies and thefts.
The chief said this week, as he has before, that he cannot arrest away the drug problem and that more money needs to be devoted to drug treatment.
One of the accused, Benjamin Hesselink, who turns 25 on Sunday, sought a break on bail, saying he has completed a drug treatment program.
But police prosecutor Sgt. Stephen Reardon said there is a 72-hour probation hold on Hesselink, on a 2012 burglary conviction. Judge Lyons cut the proposed bail in half for Hesselink, whose address was listed as 101 Glendale Ave. Lyons set bail at $10,000 cash/surety, with a probable cause hearing set for March 4.
Defense attorney Adam Bernstein represented three of the people arraigned Friday, in each instance waiving the reading of their charges and seeking bail reductions.
He was able to reach an agreement with the prosecutor on two of his clients: Mario Ozuna, 48, of 173 Beech Hill Ave., two counts of sale of a controlled drug, bail is $7,500 cash/surety, probable cause hearing is March 5, and Sandra Debrito, 38, of 886 Valley St., three counts of sale of a controlled drug, $10,000 cash/surety bail, probable cause hearing March 5.
But he didn't fare as well with his third client, Zaran Johnson, 22, of 168 Merrimack St. The police prosecutors had requested bail be maintained at the $15,000 cash/surety set by the bail commissioner.
Bernstein argued for $10,000 cash/surety, saying Johnson is skilled in several fields and is seeking work, and lives with his girlfriend, who is expecting their first child, and has no prior record.
Judge Lyons, noting Johnson said on his bail information form that he had been unemployed for a year and a half and lived alone, left the bail at $15,000 cash/surety, with a probable cause date of March 5.
Defense attorney Thomas Ficarra, who waived the reading of the charges filed against his client, possession of an infernal device and sale of a controlled drug, sought $2,500 cash/surety bail for Brendan Vigneault, 30, of 217 Rosedale. Police prosecutors sought to keep bail at $7,500 cash/surety, but Judge Lyons reduced the bail to $5,000 cash/surety. When Ficarra objected to the affidavit supporting the arrest being sealed, saying he needed the information to prepare for a March 5 probable cause hearing, the judge told him to file a motion.
Some of those arrested have a drug record that goes way back. Michelle Shuman, 41, of 326 Spruce St., who is charged with three counts of sale of a controlled drug, has a 1994 conviction for sale of a narcotic. Her bail is $15,000 cash/surety, with a probable cause hearing March 5.
The other people arraigned Friday on sale of a controlled drug, cash/surety bail, and probable cause hearings:
Samantha Azotea, 23, of 38 Desaulnier St., three counts, $15,000, March 4; Kevin Potvin, 28, of 38 Desaulnier St., two counts, $10,000, March 4; Charles Bakas, 59, of 1625 Front St., two counts, $10,000, March 4; Roy Edward Currier, 47, of 9 Dearborn St., three counts, $20,000, March 6; Fritz Lemire, 36, of 208 Lowell St., two counts, $8,000, March 5; Timothy Duane Miller, 36, of 7 Ash St., three counts, $10,000, March 5.
Ashly Monty, 23, of 67 Smoke St., Nottingham, three counts, $1,500 , March 5; Mark Pepper, 33, of 204 Oakland Ave., one count, $2,500 , March 6; Robert Shatney, 48, of 231 Thornton St., two counts, $15,000, March 4; Tabitha Smith, 25, of 226 Karatzas Ave., one count, $5,000, March 6; Ramone Hernandez, 40, of 482 Beech St., 3 counts, $10,000, March 5.
