January 5 / Martin MerkBUFFALO – In Buffalo, fans could not only cheer for Team USA with the usual merchandise, but also by eating a Go USA donut at Tim Hortons, one of the event sponsors.The donuts produced for the 2011 IIHF World U20 Championship were proudly displayed at some of the stores, such as the one at Main Street, two tram stops away from HSBC Arena.This delight had hundreds of stars on it, in all Stars and Stripes colours.If you're a hockey fan knowing the name Tim Horton from somewhere, you don't have to look far. Tim Horton's #2 is a retired number in Buffalo. Horton played 1,446 NHL games, mostly for the Toronto Maple Leafs, before he died in a car accident in 1974.Ten years before his death he was a co-founder of Tim Hortons, which has grown from 40 to more than 3,000 locations since his death, making his name immortal.
January 5 / Szymon SzembergBUFFALO – On this medal day it's good to know that Poland is back among the world's hockey elite. Just look at the sign on this unofficial banner found downtown Buffalo and look at the flag, bottom row, far left. No question about it, it's the Polish flag together with Canada, the U.S, Russia, Sweden and the other hockey powers at the 2011 IIHF World U20 Championship in Buffalo.For someone born in Warsaw, Poland, and who has lots of esses and zeds in his name, this couldn't have come any sooner. The promotion to this event must be Poland's biggest hockey achievement since the 1976 IIHF World Championship when Poland defeated the Soviet Union 6-4 in a classic upset.Now, what is correct? When looking at the IIHF official tournament program, the Polish juniors played last month in the IIHF's U20 Division II in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania where they defeated countries like Australia, China, Hungary and Romania to win the championship and gain promotion to next year's Division I, still one tier below the top division.And having watched most of the games in both Buffalo and Niagara, the Polish team was nowhere to be seen. Maybe it's the vast Polish community here in Buffalo had something to do with the sign?Same could be said about the Irish flag on the bottom row. While the Irish do have an U18 Division III team, they haven't competed with a U20 national team yet.
January 5 / Szymon SzembergBUFFALO – Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Foster. Foster is the shoeshine man at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, one of the official championship hotels. What a man! During the time it took for him to almost entirely revamp my blacks and browns, he delivered a lecture on topics ranging from – but not limited to – American politics, the perception of freedom, psychology ("listening is the most important quality"), education, and abortion.The 20 minutes with Foster were thoroughly enjoyable and a learning and humbling experience. For all foreigners who want to get to know America a little better, see Foster in his office just behind the lobby, in the hallway that leads to the gym. Don't forget to bring your shoes.
January 2 / Martin MerkNIAGARA – The secondary venue of this event, where the World U20 Championship continues with the battle against relegation, is named Niagara after the county and the university that has its campus and rink in Lewiston, New York, but the name is, of course, mostly known for the famous waterfalls that annually brings millions of tourists to the area.No wonder several fans and officials used their off day on New Year's Day to visit this natural wonder.Niagara Falls is not only the name for the waterfalls but also the twin cities on both sides of the falls. The Niagara River that connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario marks the border between New York and Ontario, between the United States and Canada.Niagara Falls, New York, allows you direct access to the American Falls, the smaller of the waterfalls only 27 kilometres (17 miles) from Buffalo. Unfortunately, the weather was not so fine this January 1 – rain followed by snow later – but the view was good enough to see the American Falls.Those who wanted more and had no visa issues continued the journey over the Rainbow Bridge to the Canadian side of the river.Niagara Falls, Ontario, does not only look like a mini-Las Vegas but also unveils the best view to the bigger of the waterfalls, the Horseshoe Falls, where water falls down 53 metres (173 feet) over a length of 790 metres (2,600 feet).The view must be amazing considering the $18 parking fee (compared to $5 on the American side), but unfortunately the view didn't get further than about 20 metres due to heavy fog, which at least gave the falls a mystical feel.
January 1 / Martin MerkBUFFALO – While we're approaching the final stage of this year's IIHF World U20 Championship, the host organizing committee for next year is observing-- with a lot of praise--how everything is done in Buffalo.Today Hockey Canada held a reception at one of the hotels used to accommodate teams and officials to present its 2012 event, an event nicely catered and highlighted by Alberta beef.The 2012 edition in Edmonton and Calgary could well be a record-setting one."It's the first time we go to two NHL buildings," Hockey Canada President Bob Nicholson said. Edmonton will host the Canadian preliminary-round group with ten games while Calgary gets the other group, the final round, and the relegation round for a total of 21 games.The organizing committee made clear that their ambition is to fill the buildings for every game. They're slogan is simple: "We are ready; all we need is you."The 2012 tournament is sure to set a new attendance record in the 19,289-seat Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary and the 16,839-seat Rexall Place in Edmonton."We're like a little hockey team. We always want to become better in organizing this event," Nicholson said, setting the bar high.The demand for tickets is so great even a year in advance that a lottery will be held for all fans who want to buy ticket packages in Calgary or Edmonton. The draw will close on January 5th, the day of the gold medal game in Buffalo, at midnight MT.The groups for 2012 will be posted on IIHF.com soon after the gold medal game.For more information about the 2012 IIHF World U20 Championship and ticket packages, visit www.hockeycanada.ca/2012juniors
December 30 / Szymon SzembergBUFFALO – Enough already. This IIHF official is sick and tired of the constant bashing of this city by smug Euro bloggers or Twittering players. Hear this: Buffalo is a great hockey town with an excellent newspaper and TSN in your hotel. What more can one possibly want from a tournament?No people to be found in the downtown area, no bars, no malls, they complain. So what? European reporters should be in their hotel room writing previews and features and at the HSBC Arena or at the Dwyer Arena in Lewiston to cover the games and talk to the players. There is no time to loiter in the streets.Players? Shouldn't they focus on practicing, playing, team meetings, answering media questions in mixed zones and checking out TSN's superior coverage of the IIHF World U20 Championship in their hotel rooms? How can there be time for Twittering?This is my third visit to Buffalo in 30 years. In 1982, I drove down here from Toronto for a Sabres-Bruins playoff game at the old Aud (what a wonderful building); in 1998, for the NHL Entry Draft (Vincent Lecavalier went first overall); and now for the best little hockey event in the world.There have never been any people in the downtown area after 6pm, so why expect it now? Why does it matter? The most important thing: This has always been a great hockey town (even before the arrival of the Sabres in 1970), with knowledgeable fans and excellent hockey coverage in the media.Which brings me to the greater point. Take this advice if bored to death – grab a copy of the Buffalo News, one of the very few American daily publications that can match their Canadian counterparts when it comes to extensive and educated hockey reporting.Yes, the sports pages contain far too much coverage of a sport that Americans insist on calling football. (How can you call it football when the sport is mainly played with your hands? And how fun can it be to play a game where you are rewarded with being benched as soon as you win the ball?)But once you get past this American infatuation, you'll find very fine hockey reporting. Every World U20 game is covered with a well-written game report. There is always an interesting lead column on the event, one feature story, plus a notebook and something called Junior Journal – news, notes and quotes from the championship. On top of that, the paper provides a scoreboard with standings, schedule and game summaries.And if this were not enough, there is very good off-ice tournament reporting in the other sections of the News where you can read all about the challenges of Canadian fans trying to get through the border control in a timely fashion and the ridiculous price gouging on parking where visitors are asked to fork out $40 for a spot.In the Thursday's paper we are informed that even city mayor Byron W. Brown has gotten involved to stop the parking rip-off that is perhaps the only blight on the otherwise perfect tournament.And on top of that, everything in the newspaper is packaged in an appealing layout and design. How much more can you want for 75 cents? A breakfast with the Buffalo News takes at least one hour and is as enjoyable an experience as if it were the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail or the paper with the best hockey coverage in the world, the The Montreal Gazette, where the eternal Red Fisher has been covering the Canadiens since 1955.Good journalism craves good journalists and the one who set the standard in the 1970s was Jim Kelley, a hockey writer who joined the Buffalo News in 1981 and provided wall-to-wall hockey coverage in this city for more than three decades. Kelley passed away in late November this year after battling pancreatic cancer since December of 2009.In 2004, he was awarded the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award, a supreme honour for any hockey writer bestowed upon only the finest journalists by the Hockey Hall of Fame. In 2005, he was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.Kelley, a real journalist who was never afraid of asking tough questions, wrote with conviction, and he had strong opinions on the game of hockey. Obsequious he was not.He even challenged the Sabres' star goalie Dominik Hasek during the 1997 playoffs and the ensuing altercation resulted in the netminder's suspension after Kelley questioned Hasek's "poor mental toughness".It is in Jim Kelley's spirit that the Buffalo News sports pages are produced.The writer is the IIHF's Communications Director who considers Buffalo vs. Soviet Wings 12-6 in 1976 as the most entertaining hockey game he has seen.
December 28 / Andrew PodnieksNIAGARA – Ten of the 31 U20 games in New York state are being played at the Dwyer Arena on the Niagara University campus in Lewiston, New York. A comfortable half hour drive from Buffalo, the venue is ideal for the games that do not involve "the two home teams", Canada and the U.S. It has a capacity of 2,100, and the building houses a practice facility as well.The Niagara Purple Eagles is the name of the university's team for both men and women. The men compete in Atlantic Hockey, along with Mercyhurst, Robert Morris, and Holy Cross, among others. The women compete in College Hockey America, a five-team league which includes Mercyhurst and Robert Morris, as well as Syracuse and Wayne State.Originally built in 1996, the arena underwent extensive renovations in 1999 thanks to a generous donation from Bob and Connie Dwyer, alumni from 1965 who contributed $3 million for upgrades. These include refurbished dressing rooms, a "presidential suite" and modern amenities.The arena has hosted several College Hockey America tournaments and has been the home of the Buffalo Sabres' summer development camp since 2008. It is of regulation size (200' x 85') and is fully capable of handling video review, an essential condition for an IIHF top event.
December 28 / Martin MerkBUFFALO – There's certainly one thing on a visitor's to-do list in Buffalo: eating Buffalo Wings. Of course, you could eat these chicken wings coated in cayenne pepper hot sauce at any other place across the U.S. But to have the same authenticity you get when eating pasta in Italy, cheese fondue in the Swiss mountains or sushi in Japan, there's probably no better (and more touristy) place than heading to the birthplace of the Buffalo Wings – the Anchor Bar on Main Street. That might explain the always full parking lot, the bar's own gift shop, and the lengthy queue at the entrance. These days, the talk in the lineup is about hockey, not the least of which because of the many hockey fans and players in town for the U20 who wait patiently for their table and chance to eat history. The bar fulfills most clichés you could imagine of an American rock bar. It's equipped with old Harleys, licence plates from Aruba to Ontario and sports merchandise of all stripes. It may be coincidence that this writer was assigned the only table that was marked by two hockey sticks and with a Team USA jersey hanging from the roof. The spiciness of the world-famous wings ranges from mild to suicide ("if you dare"). While the author admittedly went with medium, a Swiss photographer dared to try the suicide wings. By the end of the meal, everything but his lips seemed to be good enough to shoot photos for today's game against Finland.
December 27 / Szymon SzembergBUFFALO – Hockey history will be written on January 1, 2011 when, for the first time ever, the IIHF World U20 Championship will be interrupted by an NHL game. On this day, the only one during the tournament with no games scheduled, the regular HSBC Arena tenants Buffalo Sabres will host divisional rivals Boston Bruins at 7PM. As there is no time to melt the ice and change the under-ice advertisement, the current design will stay which means that this will be the first NHL game during which fans will see an IIHF event logo at centre ice. Part of the deal was also to keep the NHL-specific ice markings as the goal crease and the trapezoid behind the net during the "World Juniors", to make an easy transition for the New Year's Day NHL game.Of course, the World U20s board advertisement will be changed after the December 31 USA vs. Switzerland game, but restored back for the January 2 quarterfinals. The players taking part in the "World Juniors" will be treated to the Buffalo - Boston game, as well as others who work with the IIHF event.
December 27 / Andrew PodnieksBUFFALO – The rosters are set for the U20 now, so here are a few neat little facts 'n' stats about the 200 or so players in Buffalo.
December 25 / Martin MerkBUFFALO – Bringing hockey to a city, may it be with the founding of an NHL franchise in 1970, or by hosting a major international hockey tournament, is a great thing. Offering facilities to follow suit makes it even better and helps make use of the event in a sustainable way.In many cities kids and adults can not only use professional ice rinks, but also temporary open-air rinks downtown, as seen at Fountain Plaza in Buffalo, just a few tramway stops away from HSBC Arena.It's the place to go skating with the family and friends under the flags of the ten participating nations of the World U20 Championship. And at this time of the year they can do it in true Christmassy fashion and skate in front of a Christmas tree and to the beat of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and other Christmas classics.
December 24 / Martin MerkBUFFALO – In October 2008 it was announced that the Buffalo Sabres were selected by the hosting national association, USA Hockey, to organize the 2011 IIHF World U20 Championship.After Team USA had ended Canada's reign by defeating them in the gold medal game in Saskatoon on year ago, there could hardly be a better place to revive this rivalry than Buffalo. The city in the state of New York so close to the Canadian border will fill the HSBC Arena with fans from both nations. 60 per cent of the ticket packages have been sold to Canadian fans, 40 per cent to Americans. For some games, single-game tickets are still available.Hosting the "World Juniors" close to the border is nothing new for USA Hockey. Last time the event came to the U.S. it took place in Grand Forks in 2005. But this time, with an NHL arena and an NHL venue, it will bring the event to a new level both in attendance and organization.Organizing an international hockey tournament is also something special for the Buffalo Sabres and part of their 40-year anniversary. Yesterday, the Sabres had their last game before the World U20 Championship that ended with a 4-3 loss against the Florida Panthers. Already the same night the Sabres started working on the World U20 Championship setup, including repainting the ice, and the staff assigned for the event can now fully focus on the World U20 Championship.

This may sound sad but Lee and I love collecting Tesco Clubcard points! We have been collecting for about a year and we put our points towards airmiles (we have about 2000 to date)
Here are some quick ways in how to collect more points:
- Take advantage or Tesco's double points offers which happen quite often. This is on petrol and grocery shopping
- If you need an electrical product, try Tesco Direct. They can offer upto 500 extra points on purchases
- If you do your grocery shop online, choose to deliver your shopping with no bags. This can add a few extra points to your balance.
- Use the self serve checkouts in store. You can add upto 3 of your own bags without authorization, even if you dont have 3 bags
- Sometimes there are unclaimed reciepts floating around these tills. Its a bit pikey but you can claim them as your own!
- Apply for a Tesco Credit Card. You get even more Clubcard points when you use it (subject to credit history)
Lee and I collect over 1000 points a quarter just by doing these little things like this and we are looking forward to taking our first Clubcard points flight!

Matt Lauer is sticking with NBC's "Today," ending speculation that the top-rated show might have to face ABC's rising "Good Morning America" without him.
Lauer announced Friday on the air that he has signed a long-term contract to remain as co-host of the No. 1 morning show.
"This is my family," he said. "I love this job, I love working with you guys."
He attributed the delay to his attempts to develop a new show for himself — "where viewers could tune in every morning and see someone they know lose a little more of his hair every single day right in front of their eyes," he said.
U.S. & World
"But then I thought, I could just stay here and do that," he added.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Although "Today" is on a historic winning streak in the ratings, "Good Morning America" has been gaining ground.
Lauer's decision provides important stability for "Today" and puts to rest suggestions that he might reunite with his former co-host, Katie Couric, on the syndicated show she's launching this fall.
Lauer said last May that he had discussed joining with Couric on a new venture. But he predicted then that he would be staying at "Today" for "a long time."
"Given how strong the 'Today' show has been, I don't think the outcome was ever in doubt," said industry analyst Larry Gerbrandt of Los Angeles-based Media Valuation Partners.
Lauer has been a fixture with the show since 1994, and "Today" has remained No. 1 in the weekly ratings since 1995. He's created a popular "Today" catchphrase with his globe-hopping "Where in the world is Matt Lauer?" segments.
For broadcast networks, morning represents one of the most important parts of the day. The shows are hugely profitable at a time of declining TV viewership, and none has been more of a cash cow than "Today."
The morning scene drew increased attention this week as the NBC and ABC programs featured dueling celebrity co-hosts: "Today" had Sarah Palin for a day, while Couric is spending the week as substitute anchor at "GMA."
Palin, the former Alaska governor, helped "Today" maintain its winning streak against "GMA" on Tuesday, but Wednesday proved a cautionary tale for NBC.
With Couric on board, "Good Morning America" was able to claim a one-day victory in viewership over "Today."
About 5.24 million viewers watched "GMA," while 5.15 million viewers tuned into "Today," according to the Nielsen Co.
ABC's advantage was the latest twist in a morning-show battle that has seen "GMA" chipping away at the ratings lead that "Today" has maintained every week for 16 years.
Overall last week, "GMA" shrank its gap behind "Today" to 119,000 viewers from 137,000 the previous week.
There had been some reports that "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest could replace Lauer, and the two bantered about it Wednesday when Seacrest visited "Today" to announce he would take part in NBC's coverage of the Summer Olympics.
"What kind of conversations have you had with NBC officials about joining the 'Today' show?" Lauer asked Seacrest during a lighthearted exchange.
"Oh," said Seacrest, grinning, as off-camera laughter was heard from the crew. "They didn't tell you?"

Burberrish Cowl
December 31, 2010
Or should I say "snood"?
It's dense and not as slinky as I wanted it to be but I still love it. If I do make this again I'll keep the needle size the same but use thinner yarn.
Pattern: Burberrish Cowl
Start/Finish: 12.20.10/12.28.10
I did a few more repeats than the pattern called for but cast on the same number. I used thicker yarn (not sure what kind, frogged it from another project).
Kinda bummed I got the seam in the pictures. Wish I had spotted it before I packed away everything.

hi the snood is so lovely! I'm wondering if you have the knitting pattern for this snood?

They go by many names – those faces from the past. Ceramic pictures, photo porcelain plaques, memorial portraitures, even postmortem portraits. They first began appearing on gravestones in the U.S. back at the turn of the century. What began as a oval porcelain tablet with an image transferred on to it has changed and been refined over the years into modern day ceramic memorial plaques that are weather and fade resistant.
In 1854 two French photographers, Bulot and Cattin, patented a process to adhere a photographic image to porcelain or enamel by firing it in a kiln. The original ceramic pictures were done in black and white and then mounted on gravestones. The process caught on throughout Eastern and Southern Europe, and Latin America.
For the first time, ceramic pictures made it easy and affordable for the graves of the working class to be personalized with a likeness of the deceased. Before this only the wealthy had sculptures, busts, and carvings done in their likenesses on their tombs.
In 1893, the J.A. Dedouch Company began in Oak Park, Illinois. They quickly became one of the most popular companies that manufactured ceramic tombstone pictures. In 2004, Dedouch was sold to the Canadian company, PSM. After one hundred eleven years in business, J.A. Dedouch was also the oldest company to have crafted these memorial portraits.
By the turn of the century this type of personalization was becoming very popular and available around the world. The 1929 Montgomery Wards & Company Monuments catalog sold ceramic pictures for gravestones and described them as eternal portraits that "endow the resting place of the dead with a living personality." Priced from $6.50 to $13.50, they were available in an oval, round, or rectangular shape and came in three different sizes.
Today, ceramic pictures come in a variety of sizes and shapes including the traditional oval, rectangular, and round shapes along with
heart shaped images. The pictures are now done mainly in color, although black and white, and sepia tones are still available. The pictures are digitized, placed on porcelain shapes, and then baked at 1600 degrees so the image will not fade. A 3 x 4 oval will run around $300. Ceramic pictures can also be mounted on mausoleum doors, benches, cremation urns, and columbariums.
Ceramic memorial pictures give us the opportunity to glimpse back into history. As the old adage goes, "The eyes are the window to the soul," and these ceramic memorial plaques allow us one more chance to look into the eyes of this long-ago past and identify personally with someone who lived in it.

Post subject: Director, Producer, or Movie Being Sued
Did ya'll hear?? The makers, movie, or director of The Perfect Storm are being sued by the family of George Clooney's CHARACTER (the captain). The makers are being sued because in the movie they made George's character (the capatain) look like he was reckless, didn't care about his crew, and caused the crews death. What do ya'll think?

Oh yeah this was filed awhile ago- almost 2 years ago. Anyway, the case has been thrown out. Below is the PR from WB.
Warner Bros. Wins Key Ruling in `The Perfect Storm' Case
BURBANK, Calif., May 9, 2002 (ENTERTAINMENT WIRE) -- A federal court judge today threw out a case brought by relatives of crewmen portrayed in the Warner Bros. Pictures film "The Perfect Storm."
In a 12-page Order, U.S. District Court Judge Anne C. Conway ruled in Warner Bros.' favor on all counts, dismissing the entire action and vacating the June 3 trial date. The court also ordered the plaintiffs to pay Warner Bros.' costs in defending the lawsuit.
Specifically, the plaintiffs alleged that Warner Bros. had violated their rights of publicity and privacy, and were entitled to $10 million in damages. Warner Bros. asked the court to dismiss the case, on the grounds that the plaintiffs' claims were legally defective and unconstitutional.
Shortly after the release of the 2000 blockbuster film, the ex-wives of Billy Tyne (portrayed in the film by George Clooney) and Dale Murphy (portrayed in the film by John C. Reilly) sued Warner Bros. on behalf of themselves and their children, objecting to the way their ex-husbands were portrayed, and claiming the studio did not have the right to make the film without first obtaining their permission and compensating them. Doug Kosko, a fisherman briefly portrayed in the film, also sued.
Warner Bros. released the following statement: "We are extremely pleased with the Court's ruling in this important case. The plaintiffs' theory that Warner Bros. needed their permission to make `The Perfect Storm' -- and were required to tell the tragic story of the Andrea Gail the way plaintiffs wanted it told -- profoundly threatened free speech. Long-standing and important forms of creative expression, such as dramatized accounts of true events, historical fiction or unauthorized biographies would have been imperiled.
"In rejecting plaintiffs' claims and not requiring Warner Bros. to endure the burden and expense of a trial, and possible appeals, the court's ruling is a huge victory not only for Warner Bros. but for all writers, artists and filmmakers who may now continue to find inspiration in historical events without having their creative visions censored and controlled by anyone with a connection to those events. Creative works such as `The Perfect Storm' lie at the heart of the First Amendment's free speech protections, and Warner Bros. is deeply gratified that these fundamental principles were so thoroughly vindicated in today's decision."
"The Perfect Storm" was based on Sebastian Junger's 1997 best-selling novel of the same name, and told the story of the unprecedented storm that struck off the coast of New England in 1991. A swordfishing boat known as the Andrea Gail was caught in the storm and lost at sea, resulting in the deaths of the boat's captain, Billy Tyne, and five crewmembers. While based on a true story, certain elements of the film were necessarily fictionalized.

An important way to understand what judges and lawyers do in court is—not surprisingly—to see them in action.
For law students there are two ways of accomplishing this: either the court can come to you, or you can go to the court. In the fall of 2012, the court—specifically, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit—did come to you, and us, when a panel of the Second Circuit held oral argument in New York Law School's auditorium. We look forward to similar events in the future.
But New York Law School is located in the midst of courts, here in lower Manhattan—including, literally, around the corner from our buildings. You may be able to visit one of these courts as part of a class, and you can also visit on your own.
Here are four websites that you may find useful in choosing a court to visit:
For New York state courts: New York CourtHelp. Clicking on the county you're interested in will bring you to a list of all the New York State and New York City courts in that county, and to links for each of these courts to a range of information about each one.
For federal courts in New York: This page gives links to the federal courts sitting in New York (the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the federal district courts, and bankruptcy courts), and a range of other information about the courts in this state.
For federal and state courts in New Jersey (Newark is a PATH ride away), another page provides links to these courts' webpages. This page is the directory for the Superior Court (the trial court of general jurisdiction) of New Jersey in Newark, which is part of Essex County, NJ.

A couple of Romney's firewalls have been breached already this primary season.
Romney staked out New Hampshire as his initial "firewall"—that "must-win" contest that would fortify his aura of "inevitability.
Won that. Then Rick Santorum belatedly eked out a razor-thin victory in Iowa. And Newt Gingrich nabbed South Carolina.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Firewall #2 for Romney was Florida. A win there, Team Romney—and talking heads—opined, would lock up the nomination.
But Santorum's Feb. 7th trifecta put the brakes on Romney's resurgence and gave Santorum needed momentum.
Super Tuesday, on March 6, is not a guaranteed slam-dunk for Romney. Southern states more amenable to Santorum or Gingrich will account for 177 of the 437 delegates at stake in 10 contests. And that's where California comes in
On the night Romney won all 50 Florida's delegates, Chuck Todd, NBC's political director, announced that, if the former Massachusetts governor garnered 100 percent of the delegates from then on (a virtual impossibility, since so many of this season's GOP primary contests allocate delegates proportionately and not by "winner-take-all"), he could accumulate the 1144 necessary to win nomination.
Todd added, if Romney collected 60% of the delegates, he could reach the magic total on June 5th.
The Golden State votes on June 5th, when it will account for 172 of the 229 delegates up for grabs in five GOP contests.
One hundred fifty nine of those delegates will be distributed, three per Congressional District, to that candidate who wins each C.D.
Ten will go to the statewide winner.
It's no accident that Gingrich will visit the Golden State in the next few weeks.
His main purpose is to tap the state's famed political ATM, but he's also scheduled to address the California GOP's state convention—whose delegates represent the party's conservative activists and a mother lode of grass-roots foot soldiers.
However, signs are that Romney could be the candidate best positioned to win California's GOP primary. The state is so large and populous, with so many expensive media markets, that Romney's overwhelming money advantage could really make a difference here.
In addition, a recent Public Policy Institute of California survey, taken before the South Carolina primary, showed Romney leading among California's Republican likely voters (37 percent), followed by Gingrich (18 percent), Santorum (15 percent), and Ron Paul (11 percent); 17 percent of respondents were undecided.
The state's GOP voters are conservative, but they're more "country-club" conservatives than Santorum or Gingrich conservatives. In Presidential contests, Allan Hoffenblum, publisher of the non-partisan California Target Book, believes California Republicans are not amenable to hard-right ideologues.
According to Hoffenblum, "California Republicans who tend to be more mainstream conservatives—turned off by rigid ideologues, and who, for the most part, reside in the [more Democratic] coastal part of California,… don't have much sway in determining who [their] representatives are, [but they] do have a lot of sway in determining who Republican Presidential nominees are.
"If it's between Romney and Santorum in California," Hoffenblum says, "it's almost like between [mainstream conservative Meg] Whitman and [hard-right conservative Tom] McClintock…and Whitman would win."
But Whitman lost the 2010 governor's race to Democrat Jerry Brown. Big.
Romney's prospects for a Golden State victory against President Obama in November are dim, but on June 5th, California may deliver him his party's nomination.

One of the great things about being part of the globalization team here at Adobe is that we get to work regularly with people around the world, on an on-going basis, as if they are down the hall from us rather than well over the earth's horizon. It becomes second nature to just know what time it is now in Tokyo, Beijing, Noida, Bucharest, or Brno, all relative to each other. It's a known fact that if you must to schedule a live meeting with people in North America, East Asia, and Europe, someone will be stuck with a very inconvenient time slot.
These differences in time zones work for and against us, too, when it comes to project schedules, whether handing off files for localization, or delivering the final product. Where you are in the world can be an advantage or disadvantage, depending on where your stakeholders are located.
My main job at Adobe has been program management on the product localization team. That means that I have done my share of project schedule development and maintenance. One of the early lessons I learned being in the business, in this position, is that the details in the schedule matter, especially those that define when a task is supposed to actually happen, or rather, when it should start or be completed.
The schedules that I manage assume that the finish dates associated with any given task is relative to end-of-business-day local time for whomever the task is assigned. For example, if the task "Deliver Translated Files" is scheduled for Tuesday and is assigned to the team in Beijing, they have all day Tuesday, local time, to finish the task. If they are delivering it to a team on the west coast of North America, then they actually have longer than that since there probably won't be anyone in the office in San Jose to take delivery at 6PM Beijing local time (unless we're in end-game, crunch time, of course!).
Because my team and I are on the west coast of North America, we realize that having until the very end of the day to get things done cuts into the working day for those folks in East Asia. Therefore, we typically will account for that by adjusting the start date of the subsequent task for the folks in Asia to be their next working day. That adds a bit of flexibility for us since we then have more time to get our task done, which equates to a bit of slack in the schedule in case things don't go as planned, a not uncommon occurrence.
This strategy seems to work out pretty well. The key is that the details must be laid out explicitly and be well known and understood. I make it a point to discuss this schedule rule exhaustively during kickoff meetings, ensuring that everyone understands. In fact, it is mentioned in the footer of my schedule files, just to be sure it gets proper ongoing visibility.
Certainly, all the details of the project should be well advertised and universally understood to ensure project success and to minimize risk. That's what good communication among project managers and the projects teams can do for you. But I've seen the this time zone caused task deadline confusion trip people up enough to know that it's important.
Time zones differences can be tough to get used to, especially for those who are new to working with people in various, greatly varied regions. Time zones can help or hurt, provide you with a slight cushion or cut your day short. But if the rules are defined with your teams and stakeholders, geographical differences should not be something that slips you up.
I'd be interested to hear stories about how time zones have helped, hurt, or simply confused. I invite you to leave your experiences in the comments section of this blog post.

Michael Crabtree update: 49ers WR tears tendon, has surgery
The San Francisco 49ers suffered a big blow to their NFC title defense, as starting wide receiver Michael Crabtree sustained a torn right Achilles' tendon in the team's organized team activity workout on Tuesday. The 49ers confirmed the injury and also confirmed that Crabtree underwent surgery on Wednesday.
The timetable for his recovery is unclear, but coach Jim Harbaugh said the team expects Crabtree to play at some point. "Surgery was successful, and we do not anticipate it will be season-ending for Michael," Harbaugh said.
The 49ers can take solace in the fact that Baltimore Ravens pass rusher Terrell Suggs suffered the same injury in late April last year and was back on the field by Week 7.
Perhaps a better measuring stick is the comeback of Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who tore his Achilles' tendon in February 2011 and was ready to play about seven months after the surgery. If that timetable holds true with Crabtree, he might be able to return for the final week or two of the regular season.
Crabtree, 25, was the 49ers' leading receiver last season, with his long-awaited breakout after being drafted 10th overall in 2009. In 2012, he had 85 catches for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns. He padded that with 20 more catches for 285 yards and three TDs in the team's playoff run to Super Bowl XLVII against the Baltimore Ravens.
FANTASY IMPACT: With Crabtree out, targets to rise for Vernon Davis, Anquan Boldin
Fortunately for the 49ers, they added former Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin in an offseason trade and have Mario Manningham returning from a knee injury. They also have two youngsters in the mix—2012 first-rounder A.J. Jenkins and rookie fourth-rounder Quinton Patton. Randy Moss was not re-signed.
Crabtree showed great chemistry with second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick during the second half of last season. With Crabtree on the shelf, it's up to tight end Vernon Davis and the aforementioned four wideouts to pick up the slack in passing game.

(Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N), the largest U.S. weapons maker, on Wednesday posted an 11 percent increase in third-quarter earnings, beating expectations by a wide margin, and raised its full-year forecast.
Lockheed, which builds the next-generation F-35 fighter jet, warned that revenue would ease slightly in 2013, pulled lower by a mid-single-digit decline in sales at its information systems and global solutions business.
It raised its 2012 earnings forecast to a range of $8.20 to $8.40 from a range of $7.90 to $8.10.
Lockheed shares rose 1.5 percent to $93.36 in early trading.
It said business segment operating profit would remain above 11 percent of revenues next year, with aggressive cost-cutting to continue across the company, which also builds Aegis missiles, satellites and new coastal warships.
Net earnings per share rose 11 percent to $2.21 in the third quarter from $1.99 in the year-earlier period, but they fell from $2.38 in the second quarter.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S expected third-quarter earnings per share of $1.85 on revenue of $11.17 billion.
Revenue dropped 2 percent to $11.87 billion in the quarter, from $12.1 billion in the third quarter of 2011.
Chris Kubasik, who will take over as chief executive next year, told reporters that 25 percent of orders in the quarter came from international customers. That bolstered his confidence that Lockheed would reach its goal of boosting foreign sales to 20 percent of total revenues in two years.
Lockheed, which receives more than 80 percent of its revenue from the U.S. government, said its preliminary 2013 forecast assumed that Congress and the White House would avert $500 billion in additional, across-the-board defense cuts that are due to start taking effect in January.
If the cuts take effect, the company said they would have a material effect on its results.
Chief Executive Bob Stevens, who has been outspoken in his opposition to the indiscriminate nature of the cuts, said he expected Congress to address the additional defense budget cuts - which would come on top of $487 billion in cuts already on the books - when it returned after the November elections.
Stevens, who retires at the end of the year, said Lockheed still planned to warn workers about possible layoffs linked to the budget cuts once it received guidance from the government.
At the same time, he said Lockheed continued to cut costs from operations wherever possible, and will keep trying to get leaner.
"There is more cost that we can take out of this business, working in conjunction with our customers," Stevens told reporters.
Lockheed said cash from operations during the quarter reached $1.6 billion, compared with $551 million after pension contributions of $960 million during the third quarter of 2011.
Kubasik said Lockheed was making "good progress" on its biggest program, the F-35 fighter, and close to a "reasonable resolution" of its long-delayed talks with the Pentagon about a fifth batch of production planes.
He said the company was about 50 percent done with work on the planes under a preliminary contract.
Chief Financial Officer Bruce Tanner said failure to reach an agreement before the end of the year would not have much impact on 2012 results, since the company's work on the planes was already 75 percent funded.

What a kind of film do you like: an action, a comedy, a science file, a fantasy, or a romantic? I like a romantic film. If you like a romantic film too, what the film should be the best romantic Thai film? In my opinion, Fanchan should be the best romantic Thai film for three reasons. First, Fanchan is a popular film because Fanchan made 150,000,000 B# which was a lot of money for Thai film and songs from Fanchan are popurlar such as Rakkrungrak, Kawamsongjumseejang,Kok - kok kok. Second, Fanchan made popular child filmstars because Thai people can remember them and after fanchan project, filmstars are have a lot of big project such as a presenter, music VDO. Finally, Thai people like Fanchan. Although Fanchan out from theater, Thai people still think of that. Nowadays, there are many webside of Fanchan such as Fanchan club, Focus club, Konrakfanchan. In conclusion, Fanchan is the great film so Thai people like that and called fanchan Best romantic Thai film. Do you agree with me?

The Guild of Automotive Restorers
The Guild has been in business for over twenty-five years and has in that time become a world leader in the art of restoring and maintaining all classic, antique and exotic automobiles.
While we are intensely proud of our world-renowned creations like the Bugatti Aerolithe which won International Historical Car of the Year in 2013 and Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Pinin Speciale which took a top award at Villa D'Este, Lake Como, Italy, we are equally proud of the work we do on a daily basis.
That work ranges in scope from simple tune-ups for cars venturing out after a winter's storage to engine rebuilds and complete mechanical service.
Of course, comprehensive ground up restorations are our bread and butter and we have over two thousand projects under our belts. Among those two thousand plus vehicles, you find VW Bugs, Ferrari supercars, lots of American Muscle and great thirties classics. There are examples of pretty much everything else built with wheels as well.
Restoration Garage - Season 5
(Currently filming Season 6)
Eccentric entrepreneur David Grainger might like to fly planes, ride horses and race boats but his true love has led him to one career and there is nothing blue-collar about it. At The Guild of Automotive Restorers, David Grainger and his team save the world's rarest classic vehicles. From re-building a one-of-a-kind turn of the century French De Dion, to recreating the multi million dollar Bugatti Aerolithe or by getting the engine of a 1969 Plymouth GTX roaring back to life.
David's crew of automobile mavericks turn rust into gold and deal with all the dents along the way. However, it is not just about the cars. David scours the planet's most elite auctions with friend and investment partner Larry Burns. They often bring back four wheeled gems to fix-and-flip. Shop manager Greg Bowler keeps the restoration garage machine running smoothly.

The Central Connecticut men's soccer team lost 2-1 in overtime at Navy on Saturday night to fall to 0-4 on the season. The Midshipmen scored with 11 seconds to play in the first overtime to earn their first win of the year (1-1-2).
The Blue Devils will return to action on Wednesday night on the road at Vermont. The game will be the fifth straight away from home to begin the 2013 season. The home opener for CCSU is scheduled one week later on Sept. 18 vs. UMass-Lowell.
The teams played a scoreless first half before Navy broke the tie with the first goal of the game after halftime.
Navy's Alex Evans header scored the game's first goal, beating Central goalkeeper Rafal Krauze in the 58th minute of the match.
Central's Zach Zurita tied the match 1-1 in the game's 63rd minute with his second goal of the season. The sophomore scored on just the second shot on goal of the game for the Blue Devils to even the match.
Neither team could find the net again as the match went to overtime.
The Midshipmen found the back of the net in the final seconds of the first overtime as Thomas Shiba's header beat Krauze for the game-winner. Krauze finished the match with five saves, but falls to 0-2 on the season.
Navy outshot the Blue Devils 23-8, but just 7-4 in shots on goal. They held a 5-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Central returns to action on Wednesday night on the road at Vermont.

John Sununu Is A Professional Race Baiter
Former New Hampshire Governor John Sununu decided to wear his racism on his sleeve after former Secretary of State Colin Powel went public with his decision to endorse Barack Obama for a second term as President of the United States instead of his Republican associate former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Way back during the GOP primaries Mr. Powell was critical about Mr. Romney. After Mr. Romney made the comment that Russia was the number one geopolitical foe of the United States Mr. Powell made the suggestion that Mr. Romney should actually think about what he's saying if he wants to become President. Instead, Mr. Romney doubled down on inconsistent nonsense and conservative rhetoric meant to excite the Republican faithful but few others. In the end Mr. Powell made his critical endorsement.
Like a pit bull trained to attack, Mr. Sununu leapt to criticize Mr. Powell. During an interview with CNN's Pierce Morgan, Mr. Sununu made the suggestion that Mr. Powell suffers from being black. Mr. Sununu said that when some black people are conditioned to support other black people in a key position or role no matter what. Mr. Powell supports Mr. Obama only because of the commonality of their skin color and not because Mr. Powell made an honest assessment and concluded that Mr. Obama as the better choice to lead the country. Mr. Sununu wants people to believe that a black man that served three conservative white skinned Presidents is now so color struck for another black man that he can't think straight.
Later, Mr. Sununu offered an apology to his "good friend" Mr. Powell and retracted his statement. Like a lot of conservative politicians these days, he says his words filled with race baiting rancor were being taken out of context. But the message was clear to the racially bigoted voters who could be motivated to keep a couple of Negroid boys from working together to keep America out of the hands of people who are most assuredly more competent simply because we know that they aren't black.
Yes it is true that a lot of black people have a lot of pride in the fact that Mr. Obama is our first black President. And it is also true that there are black people who will support Mr. Obama for President no matter what simply because of the color of his skin. But Mr. Powell hardly fits into such a category. Mr. Powell is one of the many black people who understand facts from their personal perspective and have decided that Mr. Obama is a better choice for the black community as well as the larger community of America as well as the world. And in the grand pantheon that comprises the black community, some black people might isolate between the two conditions of color struck and thoughtful analysis.
But just like some black people may suffer from a color struck condition that will drive their preferences, this malady is far more prevalent in the white community. Far more white people will see a black person and respond instinctively to skin tones. White people's penchant for judging people by the color of skin is so strong that they have an entire history of enslaving people for nothing more than having the wrong skin color. And with white people's history of blatant, disparate racism, why would a white person like Mr. Sununu feel compelled to accuse Mr. Powell of overt racism? Mr. Powell explained his position in thoughtful detail and yet Mr. Sununu felt compelled to play the race card and say that it all boils down to black people wanting to see each other do well.
So do white people ever feel compelled to see other white people do well? Or more appropriately we should ask do white people ever feel compelled to make sure black people don't do well? All we have to do is look at America's racially polarized history to find the answer to that question. American history proves that white people will go out of their way to keep black people from being successful or credible. For some white people, to see a black person do well is to see a target that needs to be attacked and taken down at all cost. Some white people are so driven by this instinct that they would be willing to throw the country into chaos just to keep a black man from being successful. How else would you explain why four years ago a group of white politicians got together to make sure the term of America's first black President would be as ineffective as possible and do their best to block his every move with filibusters and legislative maneuverings meant to being government to a screeching stop.
Mr. Sununu's assessment of Colin Powell was a twofer. He knocked the black former Secretary of State for being so racist that he would support a black President with nothing to base that decision on but the color of his skin. Both Mr. Powell and Mr. Obama have a history of working for white people and with white people that should prove their willingness to put everything else to the side for the bigger picture or the issue at hand.
The same can't be said about Mr. Sununu. In his eye, the only reason black people support other black people is the commonality of skin color. Unfortunately, Mr. Sununu is one of those white people who cannot stand to see black people do well and is driven by an inherent need to follow his racially biased instincts at all costs.

--May 15, 2018.
The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) is pleased to announce that its project "Diversity & Achievement in Anglophone Quebec" has received funding through the Department of Canadian Heritage's Official Languages Funding Program, Community Life Component. The amount of the funding, which will be awarded over two fiscal years, is $141,280.
Project summary:
By its nature, English-speaking Quebec is a heterogeneous community. Although it is linked by language and by certain historic, social and political characteristics, in reality the community is a patchwork of distinct ethnic and regional groups -- some with surprisingly unique histories, cultures and outlooks, but all of them linked by their identification with Anglophone Quebec.
Over the course of 15 months, "Diversity and Achievement in Anglophone Quebec" will explore the historic and ever-evolving make-up of Quebec's English-speaking communities -- the cultural, ethnic, and geographic diversity that is such a hallmark of English-speaking Quebec. How have these groups evolved over time? Why do they identify with the Anglophone community? How do English-speakers across Quebec differ from one another? And how have they contributed to the heritage and culture of contemporary Quebec and Canada?
This initiative, which will be realized in partnership with heritage and cultural partners in several regions of the province, will include a traveling exhibition, conferences, a heritage fair, heritage tours, school visits, online resources, and a new teaching tool for Quebec high schools.
QAHN Executive Director Matthew Farfan is excited this project has been funded. "It will enable QAHN and its partners to call attention to the fact that English-speaking Quebec is not the monolithic entity it is so often perceived to be," he said. "It will be great to highlight the contributions that our various communities have made -- and continue to make -- not only to our history, but also to the modern, ever-evolving society that we call Quebec."
QAHN President Simon Jacobs is grateful for the support from Canadian Heritage. "It is exciting, dynamic projects like this one," he said, "that are helping us to fulfill our mission which is, after all, to promote a greater understanding of the history of Quebec's diverse English-speaking communities through our activities."

No, I said that I could launch a real production batch (not a hand one) with a number about 100, never say making lower count is not possible but the price in this cas would be higherjdavis6809 wrote:Hello,
I think the next batch planed by others is waiting for 100.
70€ without shipping is the price metadata sold the cumulus he build, and he wasnt calculating his price on large volume, but on really low volume (i'm sure his price was based on 10 build board including the 3D printed plastic)There is two cumulusbus boards (modified) not one, One IDE cable and SD card (70 euro price by others is based on qty 100 and sd card extra cost).
I give the price of 70€ as a rough calculation, with a real 100 pieces batch the real component+pcb price would be lower, maybe about 50€ excluding all fees, shipping etc.. of course.
It also does not include the SD card price

Abigail Spencer of "Mad Men" will play Daniel Craig's ex in the most hotly anticipated space western of next summer.
Spencer, best known as Sally Draper's teacher and Don Draper's ladyfriend on Season 3 of "Mad Men," is the latest to join the cast of director Jon Favreua's "Cowboys and Aliens," according to Variety. The film is based on the comic book of the same name, about cowboys and Indians banding together to fight a common foe: alien invaders.
Here's the official synopsis from the movie's facebook page:
U.S. & World
1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It's a town that lives in fear.
But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.
Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents -- townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors -- all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.
"Cowboys" already sports an impressive cast, with Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano, Walter Goggins, Clancy Brown and Keith Carradine all on board.
As Wilde tweeted in hailing Spencer's addition to the film, "Abigail Spencer, welcome to the cast of Cowboys & Aliens!!! She is lovely, funny, gorgeous (duh), and talented. this cast ROCKS."
"Cowboys and Aliens" is due to open July 29, 2011. We are "stoked," as the kids say.
