Here are my current slides (which include my speaker notes) for the CD talk I've been doing around Wellington recently. Here it is embedded (CC-BY-SA):
There are some changes from the first time I gave it. Sadly, I have failed to shorten it, but here are the main changes:
- I've renamed it to Continuous Delivery. This is simply making the point that the aim is Continuous Deployment to production. If you're doing it up until staging/test, and not production, you won't be getting the full range of benefits - although getting as far as staging is a good start if you're converting an existing project to CD.
- I have backed down slightly regarding my position on Feature Flags. Previously, I believed they were essential, but Github clearly manage without them. As such, I've downgraded them to a "strong recommendation". Feature Flags give you dark rollouts/kill switches and so on, which feature branches can never provide.
I saw some feedback saying that there were not enough concrete examples. I agree, to some extent - however, I still find that many people haven't even heard of CD. As such, my presentation is designed as a conciousness-raising one - hopefully people who are interested will search around and find out more. If I had more time, it'd be great to walk through an example (IMVU springs to mind), but the hard reality is that I need to look for things to take out.
There were also a couple of questions around how to convert an existing project to CD. So here's my suggested strategy for accomplishing that:
1. Start with a Test Suite
Remember the goal is to go fast with confidence. If you're just going fast, you're simply speeding, and will soon become another statistic.
Okay, end of car analogy. However, you need to build confidence, which is what the test suite is for. Start there. You don't need to over-do it, but be smart. Start by ensuring it's easy to add tests, and then write relatively comprehensive tests for the critical flows in your application. What these are is entirely up to you - if you don't know them, maybe you had better start there :).
You should also set up a CI server, and get the tests running on every commit. If nothing else, this should enhance your existing development process.
2. Rig up Continuous Deployment to Staging
Staging, test, UAT, whatever you call these environments that aren't production - get continuous deployment working at least that far. These environments can be broken with relative inconsequence, so you can work with confidence initially. Over time, you should find their uptime improves, especially as your test suite begins to show its strength.
In particular, in this step, your aim is to put the test suite in the way of deployment. It should be impossible to deploy without a test run having completed successfully on the code being deployed.
Note that the presentation suggests that you employ a "Commit triggers tests, tests passing triggers deployment" tactic. This is a simplification. In larger teams, it may make more sense to work more like this: "tests are run every 15 minutes, with success resulting in deployment". This allows many commits to be made in one window (common for large teams), with the knowledge that anything you commit will take at worst 30 minutes to make it to production (assuming the tests pass).
3. The Management Gambit
You will know you've done the first two steps when the tech team thinks "this is working nicely all the way to staging - why not to production?". There's one final obstacle in your way - the fear of everyone outside the tech team.
On some level, management/clients are going to have to get comfortable with the idea of code being deployed without their approval, and often even without their knowledge. You can use presentations like mine to help here. Remember, if you can win over just one person, they can help sell the idea to everyone else.
At a base level, they most likely will fear the lack of control they will have. To combat this, tell them that you'll implement the system, but they have the right to demand change freezes - periods of time where you won't be allowed to deploy. They probably already have this right, but re-affirm it anyway.
This is false security for them. Martyn has a sign on his desk, which reads "Change Freeze (n): A time in which more changes are made to production than usual". When there are urgent problems, change freezes be damned - changes are made, and we all know it. The next time they have a change freeze, they'll ask for a change, and instead of flailing about you'll be able to make it with a smile. They'll never have another freeze again.
I also mentioned during the talk a USB rocket launcher for retaliating against people who break the build. Enjoy!

The Flash side of things
Now, we have our output formatted so Flash can read it. Set up a Flash movie as so:
- Frame 1 Layer
1 - add a keyframe and the following action : loadVariablesNum
("list2.asp", 0);
list2.asp is our ASP page that we have formatted to work with Flash
- Frame 1 add
the text Loading ... on Layer 2. This will display
until all the records are looped through by the ASP page and
the variable 'counter' is set to 1.
- On Frame 2 add
the following action :
if (_root.Counter == 1) {
gotoAndStop (3);
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
'Counter' is a variable we set up on the ASP page to signal the Flash movie that all of the table data has been read
- Create a new movie clip that looks like an up arrow - copy it, rotate it 180 degrees and place both of these button into another movie clip - name it arrow. You will use these later to scroll your results.
- Frame 2 add
the following code to the frame :
if (_root.Counter == 1) {
gotoAndStop (3);
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
This insures that Loading will be displayed as the results are being returned.
- Frame 3 - this
is where flash reads the array created by ASP, splits the array at the ","
and duplicates the dynamic
text fields. A lot of work but just follow the screen shot.
- Now double click
on the movie clip containing the buttons and select one of the arrows. To
the arrow button attach the following code:
on (release, keyPress "<Up>") {
for (eachBox in _root) {
_root[eachBox]._y -= 10;
setProperty (_root.arrow, _y, ypos);
This uses the 'for...in' method to find each movie clip on the _root and move it down after each button press or each press of the down arrow key. Problem, this also moves your navigation buttons as they too reside in a movie clip on the _root. Fix this by adding a second layer to the inner movie clip and attaching the following code to the first layer
on that frame:
var ypos= _root.arrow._y;
Now if you look back to the code in step 7 you see that after you change the _y position of all the clips on the _root, you change the arrow movie clip back to its original _y
That's it! Download Fla

This tutorial was
the result of cobbling together information from several different resources
and I want to thank David Freerksen particularly for sharing his code on the
duplication of movie clips.

Gonzales Wins Battle Of Weld County Wrestlers; Team Falls To #3 Oklahoma State
Play-by-Play | OSU Recap
GREELEY, Colo. - In a battle of Weld County talent, Northern Colorado freshman Justin Gonzales came out on top over third-ranked Oklahoma State in a rare Friday afternoon wrestling dual. Gonzales scored the only team points for the Bears (1-12), who lost 41-3 to the Cowboys (9-3-1) in front of 927 fans.
Gonzales, a 149 pound freshman from Greeley, won an exciting 3-2 decision over OSU junior Quinten Fuentes from Johnstown in the fourth bout of the afternoon. With the win, Gonzales improves to 4-7 on the season after posting a 16-4 record unattached early in the tournament season.
"Justin was ready to go," said Head Coach Ben Cherrington. "I know there's - I don't want to say bad blood - but the old Northridge (High School) vs Roosevelt (High School) rivalry came out there and Justin was ready."
Oklahoma State had nationally ranked wrestlers in the other eight bouts contested, winning all eight and scoring bonus points in five.
"I told the whole team - there's no reason to show these guys any respect," said Cherrington. "You guys have put the work in and go out there to win - go out there to compete. I think for the most part we did that today up and down the line guys fought. We were outclassed talent wise but we gave ourselves opportunities to win matches."
The afternoon started with senior Tony Mustari (125) dropping a close 6-2 decision to 10th-ranked Chris Notte. There was no scoring in the first period and the tally was tied 2-2 after five minutes, but Notte recorded an escape, takedown and riding time for the 6-2 final.
At 141 pounds, senior Kenny Hashimoto faced third-ranked Jamal Parks in another tightly contested dual that had fans on both sides leaving their seats. At the final whistle, Parks had the 11-8 decision.
"The score doesn't indicate what kind of match it was," concluded Cherrington. "My guys, they scrapped, they made them (OSU) fight for every point they got and they made it a good match. I think it was a good dual for the fans."
The Bears now leave for Lincoln, Neb., to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Sunday in a 1:00 p.m. dual (Central time).
125 - #10 Chris Notte (OSU) dec. Tony Mustari,
133 - #5 Jordan Oliver (OSU) tech. fall Casey Cruz, 21-5 (4:45)
141 - #3 Jamal Parks (OSU) dec. Kenny Hashimoto, 11-8

Today America is the world's leading anti-smuggling crusader. While honorable, that title is also an ironic one when you consider America's very close history of… smuggling. Our illicit imports have ranged from West Indies molasses and Dutch gunpowder in the 18th century, to British industrial technologies and African slaves in the 19th century, to French condoms and Canadian booze in the early 20th century, to Mexican workers and Colombian cocaine in the modern era. Simply put, America was built by smugglers.
In this video from Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies, Peter Andreas, author of Smuggler Nation: How Illicit Trade Made America, explains America's long relationship with smuggling and illicit trade.[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/56937394[/vimeo]

Suzy Waite
NEW YORK In-warehouse premiums for copper at London Metal Exchange-approved warehouses have skyrocketed after an April 10 wall slide at Kennecott Utah Copper Corp.s Bingham Canyon Mine forced the company to declare force majeure. Traders told AMM that in-warehouse duty unpaid premiums for material in Chicago, New Orleans and St. Louis locations were being quoted at around $50 per tonne this week and as high as $60 per tonne in St. Louis, up from between $30 and $45 per tonne in St. Louis previously and a far cry from the $5-to-$10-a-tonne range reported in Chicago and New Orleans prior to the mine collapse. Ten dollars (a tonne) really has no bearing on todays market, which is totally different from a week ago. What meaning does $10 have when youre taking 25,000 tonnes of production out of the system? Dont be surprised when (premiums) go from $10 (a tonne) when its dead to $50 (a tonne) when its not, one copper trader said of in-warehouse premiums. ....

With that being said, I have participated in NBA Sim Leagues before (it's been a couple years, I admit) and would be interested in taking over the next available position in this league. I assure you I would be an active and knowledgeable asset. Even if I have to start out with trash, I have a reputation for turning garbage into gold.

A duck named Quackers and a hen named Cheddar are no longer searching for a new home after their owner surrendered them to Kansas City's animal shelter.
Hours after a story aired on KCTV5 News It's Your Morning about the duo, a family adopted them along with another duck at the shelter.
Employees at KC Pet Project said the pair are inseparable and in love and now they have an extended family of horses and chickens to hang out with.
When people come to KC Pet Project, they probably expect to hear a few barks and a meow isn't out of the ordinary either, but a quack is unusual.
"They are really, really cute when you actually watch them for a long period of time. They snuggle together. They groom each other. They spend all their time together. If they are apart, they are really not the same animal. We realized separating them really was not the best decision," said Tori Fugate, the manager of marketing and development, about Quackers and Cheddar.
The duck and hen's snuggle shack at the shelter was quickly replaced by a new permanent home.
"We'd really like to see them go to a nice farm where there are some other farm animals and maybe a chicken coop and a pond," Fugate said.
The odd couple isn't the first unusual animal to visit the shelter.
"We care for around 1,000 other pets every year here at the animal shelter. Anything from snakes to alligators to goats to pigs. We take in a lot of interesting animals," Fugate said.
Prior to their adoption, Fugate talked about their goal for them.
"We want them to go to the most ideal home for them. We want to make sure they have the proper living situation. They know how to care for an animal," she said.
It cost $20 to adopt Cheddar and Quackers. It was also important that the new owner lives in a city or county that allows hens and ducks.
The new owners said they live on 10 acres of land in Kansas City, KS, close to the river. They said they have a big aviary with a nicely secure coop to keep the chickens warm in the winter.
"Our current girls all give us an egg a day. It will be interesting to see if Cheddar decides to check out the nesting boxes," they wrote to Fugate in an email.
The pair aren't the only animals up for adoption. The shelter is overflowing with animals so much so that they are waiving the adoption fee for all cats and kittens. Dogs are also available.

Hello Paula ! I've made this recipe for the last couple of years, since I discovered it from you. It is always a huge hit ! It will continue to be a traditional part of our holiday meals. Thanks ! Love and best dishes !! Cindy Doyle
By Cindy Doyle on November 14, 2012
@Emily - Pumpkin pie spice is just a mix of other stuff you probably already have: Nutmeg, Ground Allspice, Ground Ginger, and Cinnamon http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-pie-spice-i/
By Wendy Litteral on October 23, 2012
Hi Paula (again), While you are the Queen of Southern cooking and cuisine, I could probably at least qualify as Princess...and this comment is totally unrelated to any of the above recipes, but had an observation and wanted to bring it to ya'lls (and yes I say ya'll all the time unconciously...LOL)...attention as a question. I watch food network alot, particularly You, Giada and Ina Garten. I love all of your cooking...but I notice that no one on food network uses Paprika. It is such a wonderful forgotten spice, I put it in everything, it give such great color, which I love in all my food without adding any extra flavor or heat really. I only use miracle whip in everything, never mayonnaise...but in all my salads I not only mix Paprika with my Miracle whip before mixing but I also add it on top with a litte black pepper usually for added color, in macaroni, pasta salads, chicken, turkey, (don't do tuna ever), egg salad, and any others. Actually Miracle whip used to have little red flecks which I am fairly certain was Paprika, I do not see them now, so have to add my own to the jar, but anyway just wanted to comment about what a wonderful overlooked spice I think Paprika is and would love to see all of you use it a little more. It is great in soup and stews, chili in addition to chili powder or hot sauce, to give sauce a depth of color, I just use it in almost anything and everything...even scrambled eggs and always in casseroles...My tip for the day. Love you guys. Suzanne Byrd A True Princess of Southern Cuisine. (LOL)
By Suzanne Byrd on October 04, 2012
Hi Paula, I was never a fan of pumpkin pie growing up, but actually found a pumpkin chiffon pie recipe a few years ago after my Mother passed away (she love regular pumpkin pie), and now love my Chiffon pie...it is a little different from yours, no marshmallows or whipped topping, but instead I put part brown and part white sugar, lots of pure vanilla extract, butter of course (the recipe did not call for it, but cannot imagine pumpkin pie without butter),pie spice of course, but what makes it chiffon is you seperate the eggs, cook the pumpkin mixture with yolks on top of the stove let it cool completely in the refrig...and then beat and fold in the egg whites...it is scrumptious and then serve with fresh whipped cream like you do. Love it...
By Suzanne Byrd on October 04, 2012
this pie is amazing! even if you dont normally like pumpkin, its delicious....its so light and fluffy from the marshmallows and whipped topping...melts in your mouth...i could eat the whole thing, a crowd pleaser for sure.
By hayley on December 25, 2011
I made this pie yesterday for my family, it was simple and amazing! I will definitely be making this again!!
By allie on November 25, 2011
If I don't have pumpkin pie spice what can I substitute it with?

Totally awesome as pumpkin pies go. I don't usually like pumpkin pie, but thought I'd give this one a try. Not only is it a cinch to make, but really delicious! I had to make it for my family again just days after Thanksgiving.

The late Royal Marshall left behind a wife and two little girls. A special memorial fund has been set up in his name to help them out.
The Punchline Comedy Club, where Marshall dabbled in stand-up comedy over the years, will be holding a benefit in his name at 5 p.m. March 6. Tickets are $50 each and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the memorial fund.
Among those scheduled to speak: Marshall's boss Neal Boortz, traffic reporter Mark Arum, Dave FM's Mara Davis and Jimmy Baron, 680/The Fan's John Kincade, Rock 100.5's Eric Von Haessler and 94.9/The Bull's Kristen Gates.
Marshall spent about 17 years at AM750 and now 95.5FM News/Talk WSB, most of that working with Boortz. He died unexpectedly last month of a heart attack.
You can buy tickets at www.punchline.com.
To mail a donation the address is: "Royal Marshall Memorial Education Fund", Wells Fargo, 1601 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, Ga. 30309.

Didn't he make pretty damn good money?
I don't get that his family needs all this monetary support.
Neal Boortz could just write a check and be done with it. $100k check form Neal would do it. I mean let Clark Howard manage how the money is invested and those girls will have enough for college. His girls are like 2 and 4 years old. If he worked for Neal for 17 years he had to have some bank. It might kill Neal, but Royal's girls can go to Govt school and live in a downscaled home. I really just don't get WHY we should help raise Royal's kids. He was friends with Clark and should listened to Clark more I guess. Why not an event to give money to people that haven't had a job for 2 years and have children that want to go to college.
February 24th, 2011
1:26 pm
KimZ, you obviously have a lot of pent up anger. If you don't like the benefit, don't attend. The world doesn't need to run its plans past the great and mighty KimZ. Stop your whining and get over it.
February 24th, 2011
1:31 pm
I don't get WHY he needs money. There are people so much more deserving and needy. The MAN was making a lot of money. Like I said did he live too high on the hog or what? Did he not listen to Clark on how to handle his money? You and I both know he had a Big Life Insurance policy for sure and like Clark says I bet he has been putting money into his girls College Fund(like the 401K).
February 24th, 2011
1:35 pm
Hate to say it, but I agree with KimZ – he was likely the sole breadwinner and proably had a great income. He probably had many more good earnings years to look forward to as well. But – I find it a little tasteless the push for donations and benefits when there are so many other families who lives were altered by the sold breadwinner passing; police, fire, military etc…
February 24th, 2011
1:36 pm
yo kim. what do you mean "we" have to help raise his kids? no one's making you give money to his children. what part of the article do you not comprehend? there ain't gonna be a "royal marshall" tax imposed on everyone. see that "delete" button on your keyboard? next time, hit that instead of the "submit comment" one.

To quote the late great Royal Marshal:
Just damn.
February 24th, 2011
1:47 pm
Why don't Boortz and that penny-pincher foot the bill? Isn't Kneel a multi-bazillionaire?
February 24th, 2011
1:48 pm
KimZ & unusually:
Royal may have left enough to care for the daily needs of Annette and the children, but may have been on the beginning of a college ffund for the girls. Many folks are not able tto start socking away money until they get to their early 40's . . . The point where Royal checked out.
Although you are eentittled to your opinion and questions, remember, you do not have to give. My philosophy is to give when you are able to as you never know when you may be in need of a hand yourself. And this is from a very selfish ME!!!
February 24th, 2011
1:49 pm
It is odd that Royal Marshall always spoke out against folks walking around with their hand out and now, his hand is open, albeit in death. Tell Boortz to write the check.
February 24th, 2011
1:51 pm
Kim, I competely understand your point of view, but respectfully disagree. Although when someone else passes away the Punchline doesn't do a benefit, but many other entities do. (churches, jobs, friends, etc.) If you are so concerned with these people why don't you set up a charity or an event to support them? Why bash this event? I agree with the statement above that no one is forcing you to give money or taxing you. Do I fully understand why if family needs the money? No. Do I really care? No. Will I be giving money to his family? No. Will I critisize people or an event that does? Absolutely not. Why not put your frustration to a better use rather than bashing an event designed to help someone that was influential in this community?
February 24th, 2011
1:52 pm
The questions about having a benefit arise because Boortz preaches all day about personal responsiblity. Don't forget the lawsuit Belinda filed because she put crocs on her son and let him go unassisted down an
escalator. When you preach it, you need to walk it.
February 24th, 2011
1:53 pm
Kim & Usually Quet you 2 "really" this man pasted away at 41 you think he plan for it?No amount of money in the world will replace him…….You can't understand maybe it because you got out of bed this morning and both your brains were off ………..It called a donation look up the damn word, there's people that loved this man ,and I for one didn't know him but if either one of you half the human being he was you would have though before you made your comment today……
February 24th, 2011
1:54 pm
RIP Royal Marshall…..with that said, I have to agree with KimZ. C'mon Boortz, poney up some cash cuz this is sad. Not a benefit for some cause that Marshall pushed, but a benefit that directly benefits his family? Seems weird since he worked for someone who you would believe would have made sure he was well taken care of finanically. Apparently the family needs it so I wish them luck.
February 24th, 2011
1:54 pm
give me a break
I mean WE as in not his family members. Like I a did not and will not send money to Haiti. Business is slow for me and I need more work. Why not have a benefit for me please? I am struggling to stay ahead or even. I am the sole bread winner in my home and I need help a lot more than Royal and his family. NEAL BOORTZ sell one of your cars or Motorcycle or stop flying so much for a year and give that money to Royal. My heart don't cry for Royal anymore than you people are crying for my struggles and hardships. Royal was a good guy. I did meet him at a few events. Like I said He was making DAMN GOOD MONEY and I know he had to have a Big Life Insurance Policy. I am not hating on Royal. I just know there are people that are more deserving and in need than his Family.
February 24th, 2011
2:02 pm
One would think that he was well invested in a term life insurance policy. This is a textbook example of what those policies are for…..so why the need for a fund raiser??
February 24th, 2011
2:02 pm
You people are JERKS!! Royal touched millions with his keeping Boortz honest antics over the years. If we miss him and want to help with the education of his kids I just do not see the problem. I am certain Neal and Clark have made donations already. All of you wealth haters should go back to watching Jerry Springer and let the rest of us honor a truly decent man's memory. Some money will never bring back these girls' daddy!
February 24th, 2011
2:06 pm
Kim i am with you on that. With all that Boortz spits out about personal responsibility, and how he is so healthy now. You would think he would be against these type of "donations" or "charity". The man had a steady job for years, shouldnt he have had a good insurance policy to atleast help for a while? That would have been the "RESPONSIBLE" thing to do. I am not familiar with if his wife works, but there are plenty of widows and widowers, who dont get "benefits" to help them make it in this world.
Once again it puzzles me how BOORTZ is speaking or involved with it. Makes him look like a hypocrite If he wants people to give, why doesnt he just give up his plane, motorcycle, book sales, or something and call it a day.
February 24th, 2011
2:10 pm
Just Damn I think it was reported when this first happened that Neal did donate $100k. I don't hate WEALTH. I do find it funny that somebody that was Wealthy is needing money now. If you want to honor his memory then why give money to the NAACP. Royal worked hard to go back to college and get his degree.NEAL and Royal complain all the time about people with their hand out, but as soon as he passed Neal started or promoted this HAND OUT venture.
Neal jokes about the people on the exit ramps "LOOKING for WORK" and says they walk to the closet parking lot an hope in their Caddy SUV. What is the difference in this venture?
No Royal can never be replaced for his children, but that is nobodies job to do either.
February 24th, 2011

digitaldude and kimz appear to be the same person
February 24th, 2011
2:15 pm
Kim, I take your comments personal as I knew Royal and his family on a personal level. Let's just hope you don't ever need a hand. No amount of money can replace this man. His children will never know him and if you have children, it may be best that they never know you based upon your comment. Don't hide behind the keyboard, go to the Punchline,get on stage and tell everyone how you really fell. A-HOLE
February 24th, 2011
2:16 pm
Once again, I am not surprised in the least by the comments made here today. You people are really sad and obviously have nothing better to do.
February 24th, 2011
2:20 pm
I don't give a damn about most people, and there may be deservig folks out there starving and getting overlooked..thats life. I care more for me and mine, and people I like. I'll be there at the Punchline, and ..as an aside..I would BURN money before I gave it to the NAACP.
February 24th, 2011
2:21 pm
My prayers go out to Royal's family, but I do see both sides of this. Kimz is just saying what a lot of folks are probably also thinking. I am sure he made good money, and I hope he had some sort of life insurance policy. When the economy is so tough right now, and so many people are out of work, this is going to raise eyebrows. That's just the way it is.
I do hope the family is doing okay. it is still such a shock. I never had the chance to meet him, but what a class act.
February 24th, 2011
2:22 pm
Some of you people are miserable human beings, and are only happy if you're trying to spread your misery.
If you don't want to give, don't give. It's really quite that simple.
Go back to your normal existence under a rock, and leave the rest of us alone. You sorry lot.

Miss KP
As I said my work is slow and my family is suffering too. I understand his children will never get to know their daddy, but they could be as Bless as I was to have a GREAT Step Father that will LOVE their mother and them as his very own. I did not KNOW Royal personally, but did have the chance to meet him at a few events. He was a very Charming man for sure. Do you really think they would let me speak at the Punchline? NO. I have called in to Neal's show and Belinda has not allowed me to speak on this very subject. Like many I do agree with some things Neal says and Hate other things he says. NEAL has PREACHED on this very thing since he started on the radio some 30 years ago. My family has help what little we can with a church member that is having a hard time while his wife is serving in Iraq and he has the 2 boys to raise. I maybe an A-Hole but like you said you don't really know me.

A memorial benefit is the least we can do for the man that gave us the classic BOO GOT SHOT ebonics to english translation..not to mention his death defying on the spot freaknik traffic updates …should be a fun night with Boortz, and happy to see Kincade and von Haessler will be there too.

Some of the comments that are listed here are nasty. I hope no one suddenly dies and leaves their family behind. Rodney you should close this for comments. Some of you people that hide behind your screens kill me. Kimz I can see why you haven't had a job in two years.. I wouldn't hire you to clean my toilet!!!! Atlanta has just turned into a rude and bitter city…..
February 24th, 2011

I dont see anything wrong with people donating, but like i said I dont understand how BOORTZ could be involved and ever open his big yap again, about anything.
February 24th, 2011
2:29 pm
Gotta love all the "Boortz should write a $100k check". Sure is easy to be generous with other people's money! Secondly. how do you know Boortz didn't already do that?

February 24th, 2011
2:34 pm
The thing is I would clean your toilet because I want the WORK and need the money. I still have work just not enough. I do not HATE on ROYAL at all. Thrisha too damn funny I totally forgot about his translation of Boo Got Shot. I think I laughed so hard I wet my pants a little.
February 24th, 2011
2:39 pm
KimZ, you have NO IDEA what kind of situation Royal's family is in financially right now or before his passing.
When a tragedy takes away the sole earner from a family, they are left with a household of a widow and her children who must somehow re-define their existance. I've seen this happen and it is tough. But neither you nor do any of us have any business knowing what Neal has or Royal earned, or what kind of life insurance he had, what kind of dreams he had planned out for his kids, or any other private matter of the Marshall Family.
What is clear is that Royal's family has way too much to worry about right now. Whether $50 contributed by those who loved him helps them significantly or is a mere drop in the bucket, they will at least have comfort in knowing that they've got the support of a city who loved and miss Royal. That will be worth more than anything to them.
February 24th, 2011
2:41 pm
Didn't he already have a memorial service?
February 24th, 2011
2:44 pm
Every now and again I see on the news about someone's local Atlantan's untimely death. Sad to say a lot of them look like they've had a hard life. At the end of many of these stories the news anchor gives an address where contributions can be sent for a memorial fund that's been established to help the family. I wonder how many of you bleeding hearts every write a check for any of those people.
You wanna memorialize Royal Marshall? Write a check in his memory to some group that helps poor people.
February 24th, 2011
2:51 pm
I will say it this way. This is like all the people that complain about Hollywood Stars and the crap they pull and get away with, but then turn around and support them by going to their movies or watching their shows. I don't have a problem with people helping support Royal's family. I have a problem with Holier than thou Boortz and his masses that complain about this everyday, but have no issue in doing the same thing. If you want to help a person in need you can contact Roswell Street Baptist Church and look into making some home cooked meal to help out the Soldiers husband and sons while she is in Iraq. You may not get to hear some Jokes but you are getting service to our country and a HUGE thanks from her family.
February 24th, 2011
2:57 pm
Do you want to BET he was making more than 125K a year? If people are at the Punchline giving money that make less than 150K/yr then the Fool and His money adage will be all to TRUE.
February 24th, 2011
2:59 pm
KimZ: Just because someone is part of a syndicated radio show doesn't mean they make a huge salary like Boortz. You don't know the family's situation. And remember this – you can go out and get another job to support your family. Royal can't. Oh yeah, just as an FYI – you're never gonna get that next job you say you need so badly by sitting around posting comments all day.
February 24th, 2011
3:06 pm
I have been on the phone and 3 jobs lined-up for Friday. Thank you. Royal did speaking engagements, voice work, commercials, and worked with Neal. He was with Neal for 17 years and you think he was making less than $125k? You are kidding right? Neal is Smart and Crazy, but he ain't STUPID. Neal pays/ paid Belinda and Royal very well.
February 24th, 2011

I think it is customary in the African-American community to ask for money when a family member dies.
A co-worker's mother died and my office collected funds. I am not sure where those funds went but I was told that it how they usually do it here in the South for those in the AA community. I think it is a cultural thing going back to the slave days or African tribal customs.

Do what you feel in your heart but I have to agree, 17 yrs working for Cox, big life insurance, retirement plan..401K…IRA…give me a break..There are so many folks in need right now..Let's all get real..Let Neal boorz be his generous self… I'm just sayin'

Red Bull…I think you are right. That has happened with my job. Whenever a black co-worker lost a relative or friend we were asked to donate money. I think it is a cultural deal. Similar to jumping over a broomstick at a wedding or say acts instead of asks.
This a great cause. For all the naysayers—this is optional and nobody is requiring you to part with your money. It is a good deed to help someone who left us all too soon.

It is really sad that people really feel this way toward this man that is gone… I would love to help this girls go to college then ended up on welfare and food stamps because there Mother could not afford college for them.. I am sure that Royal gave alot to this city before he Left… This is not about what color he is and how much he made it is about his kids that did not get to really know who he was…Were is love in you heart?

How much money are you people sending to New Zealand for Earthquake relief for all the truly needy? All of you are picking on one person that keeps trying to fight back. She is being nice and giving her side. I would give money because Royal was alway nice on the radio, but I do question this. Royal had to make more money than any School Teacher that gets furloughed, Fireman, Cop, or Soldier and that is the truth.
February 24th, 2011
3:35 pm
I'm sure Royal was a nice guy, and I'm sorry for his family's loss. I also think he was gainfully employed and likely made PLENTY of income. Whose idea was this? How does anyone even KNOW that such funds are needed? This is an insult to the truly needy. I know it's optional but good grief it's ballsy!

A New Life
This article was very different as far as ethics articles are concerned. I found it from August, and it involves a billionare who wants to help a waitress who he met randomly when asking for directions at an intersection. Apparently the waitress was at the corner fundraising for her own medical needs, as she has kidney failures but doesn't meet criteria for a transplant. This man asked her for directions and then returned and told her that her "fundraising was over" and that she didn't need to worry any more. She later found out that he was a billionare who founded the company that makes Beanie Baby dolls and he wrote her a check for $20,000 towards her treatment. This just goes to show that there are good ethical people out there that are willing to help.

Writing Contest: Semifinalist
The Pathway, College
About 14 weeks now. Graduation is right around the corner, and decisions regarding colleges are still in question. Although college is a clear pathway to the future and places one on the track to one's dream career, college searches involve costs, benefits, and economics concepts that one must research in order to determine what college best fits one's intended career.
During my college search, I have visited countless websites as well as college admissions offices in my quest to pursue the fashion field. My dream is to work for a fashion line, and no matter whether I would be a buyer, promoter, or assistant in a company, I knew I would need a background in the field before I could make it in the industry and become financially stable on my own. This background would come from the experience college has to offer. When visiting various colleges, I noticed that costs ranged from $7,000 a year in state, compared to $25,000 out of state. I considered the costs, pros and cons, and benefits of each college I evaluated. The city of Louisville was great, as was the campus, but I would have to take the business route instead of the fashion merchandising major I had planned. It would be cheaper, but I continued my journey to Ohio State where I enjoyed the large campus and atmosphere of the city. The program was average, but the costs were high. The University of Cincinnati's DAAP program was a program I grew to love. Although it was very competitive, it was nationally ranked, close to home, and professional. However, the costs of being just over the river were outrageous. I still haven't decided if the costs outweigh the benefits. My last option, Kent State University, fell right in the middle. Their fashion program was well known, exciting, and fit me better. The costs ended up being less than the University of Cincinnati; that seemed to be an added bonus. By weighing the costs and benefits of my options, I am now at the point where I have narrowed my multiple options down to the two best-suited colleges for my intended major. In this case, the best road to earn the education and skills I need is a four-year college that has a well established program but is also affordable and well worth the costs.
Throughout my college search, I have realized that college is truly important to success in one's life. It thoroughly prepares you for the workforce, especially in my intended field. I am confident that with a professional background in fashion, I will be able to make a career in the fashion industry. Without a college experience, I will not be as knowledgeable in the field as I would like to be.
I don't believe there is an economic benefit to entering the workforce right away: The lack of a background in one's workforce field will most likely limit one's success and human capital.
For those who believe they are unable to attend college for financial reasons, incentives such as scholarship money can help them realize, as I did, that college is truly a benefit to one's lifestyle.

I've embarked on a task that I've been dreading for quite some time now: I'm completely restructuring my lab.
While this may seem like a little thing to the uninitiated, the reworking of a functioning computer test lab results in major upheaval. Granted, the casual observer might mistake the current condition of my lab for upheaval, with its mountains of server shipping boxes and its ridiculous Ethernet spaghetti behind the racks, but I'm talking about real disruption.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Read Paul Venezia's instant classic, "Nine traits of the veteran Unix admin." | Or see if you qualify for the title of certified IT ninja. ]
It'll take me a month of swearing and being generally pissed off before I'm done, followed by many more months of the same when I can't find parts that I used to be able to locate immediately or realize I have to spend an hour rebuilding some infrastructure that used to exist before I tore it down.
But the upshot is that even though many lab infrastructure components have been virtualized for years and years, the hardware running those VMs is being retired. That means I'll suddenly have gobs of free rack space, faster VMs, and a much lower power and cooling bill. That alone makes the whole endeavor worth it.
One box headed for retirement is a Dell PowerEdge 2800 that's been running a dozen VMs for at least six years now. When it was new, it was the very model of a modern major server: a massive black box weighing about a ton, with eight hot-swap U320 disk bays, two single-core 3.6GHz Intel Xeon CPUs and 8GB of RAM. It has performed beautifully, running without complaint the entire time. Some of the VMs on that box have 900-day uptimes. It's been stuck at VMware ESX 3.5 for years as I never felt the need to upgrade it.
In short, it's been exactly what it should have been -- a stable, reliable cornerstone for lab resources (the VMs on that box are an array of domain controllers, PXE boot hosts, DNS and DHCP servers, and other static lab services). Its reward for this service? It gets replaced by a tiny little box running two six-core AMD Opteron 4000-series CPUs that will not only provide a performance bump (albeit at 2.2GHz per core), but also sips power and takes up about a tenth of the physical space.

Page 2 - Phelps Apartments for Rent(hide neighborhood information)
The Phelps neighborhood, just south of Missouri State University in Springfield, has shady streets lined with bungalows and contains a scattering of larger homes. John Phelps was a Union soldier who became governor of Missouri. He homesteaded there, and his wife sheltered war orphans while he fought. Development in the neighborhood began about 1900, and almost all the small homes were completed before 1940.
Trees have had time to mature in the Phelps neighborhood. They often echo the plantings of lush Phelps Grove Park, which borders the neighborhood to the south. Across East Grand Street to the north, Missouri State University contributes intellectual sparkle to the neighborhood.
Many MSU students share bungalows in Phelps. A grassy greenbelt at the north end of the neighborhood is also university territory. To the west, across South Jefferson Avenue, is historic Maple Park Cemetery, where both Union and Confederate dead are buried. The eastern boundary of the neighborhood is South National Avenue, with houses of worship standing beside homes. The zip code for Phelps is 65807.
The Springfield Art Museum, situated at the east edge of Phelps Grove Park, is within easy walking distance of any part of the neighborhood. The park holds well-equipped picnic grounds where friends and families can barbecue. Fitness buffs have a trail with spaced exercise stations, and there are also facilities for playing baseball and tennis. Dogs are welcome in the park, though they must be leashed.
Most of the homes in the Phelps neighborhood have a welcoming front porch. This feature, tidy front lawns, and quiet narrow streets give the neighborhood a friendly, old-fashioned air. Its convenient central location, the cultural opportunities at the university and the museum, and the appeal of historic surroundings make the Phelps neighborhood a memorable in which place to live.

Vincent chimes in this afternoon with his thoughts as to who will will go where, tonight in round 2.Rnd 2 Pick 33: Jaguars- Robert Woods WR USC. Rather than draft a QB, Jacksonville needs to draft good offensive players.
Rnd2 Pick 34: 49ers- Jamar Taylor CB Boise State. 49ers considered Revis, considered Charles Woodson. Cheaper and better to draft at this point.
Rnd 2 Pick 35: Eagles- Jesse Williams DT Alabama. Great interior run defender to anchor the d-line.
Rnd2 Pick 36: Lions – Menelik Watson OT Florida State. Got pass rusher in 1st round, and starting tackle in 2nd.
Rnd 2 Pick 37: Bengals – Eddie Lacy RB Alabama. Provides stability in running game. Upgrade over Green-Ellis.
Rnd 2 Pick 38: Cardinals – Matt Barkley QB USC. Cards get legit QB to groom behind Palmer experiment. No tackle worth taking here.
Rnd 2 Pick 39: Jets – Geno Smith QB WV. Other positions of need, but if he's still available Jets take him over Nassib. He's a top 10 talent, and will cause further QB controversy.
Rnd 2 Pick 40: Titans – Cornellius Carredine DE Florida State. NFL ready defensive end.
Rnd 2 Pick 41: Bills – Terron Armstead OT Arkansas Pinebluff. The workout wonder finds home on Bills line.
Rnd 2 Pick 42: Raiders – Ryan Nassib QB Syracuse. A year to groom him, second year to compete as starter.
Rnd 2 Pick 43: Bucs – Kevin Minter ILB LSU. Will be athletic tackling machine.
Rnd 2 Pick 44: Panthers – David Amerson NC State. Tall CB to play either CB or FS (both positions of need). In state, developing, and hard working.
Rnd 2 Pick 45: Chargers- Monti Te'o ILB Notre Dame. Te'o will fit in well in a laid back city. He can focus on football and get back to being a good middle linebacker.
Rnd 2 Pick 46: Bills – Arthur Brown OLB Kansas State. Further help to the linebacking corps. Could move indside.
Rnd 2 Pick 47: Cowboys – Jonathan Cyprien SS Florida. Fills a need, also a quality player. Could start.
Rnd 2 Pick 48: Steelers – Keenan Allen WR Cal. Solid, but not spectacular WR. More Hines Ward than Mike Wallace.
Rnd 2 Pick 49: Giants – Johnthan Banks CB Mississippi State. Not a lot of needs, he could see playing time.
Rnd 2 Pick 50: Bears- Markus Wheaton WR Oregon State. Fills Johnny Knox's shoes. Complimentary player to Alshon Jeffrey, and Brandon Marshall.
Rnd 2 Pick 51: Redskins- Phillip Thomas FS Fresno State. Good FS, active, and caused 13 turnovers in 2012.
Rnd 2 Pick 52: Patriots – Justin Hunter WR Tennessee. Tall, fast vertical threat, to play Randy Moss opposite Amendola's Wes Welker. 6'4″ with 4.3 speed.
Rnd 2 Pick 53: Bengals – DJ Swearinger S South Carolina. Need to improve the safety play, and remove Taylor Mays.
Rnd 2 Pick 54: Dolphins- Dwayne Gratz CB UConn. Someone to fill a starting CB position.
Rnd 2 Pick 55: Packers- Montee Ball RB Wisconsin. Fan favorite, fills need. A reach, but still makes sense.
Rnd 2 Pick 56: Seahawks – Johnathan Hankins DT Ohio State. Fills a need, and a late 1st round type talent.
Rnd 2 Pick 57: Texans – Margus Hunt DE SMU. Can fill the Mario Williams role.
Rnd 2 Pick 58: Broncos – Sam Montgomery DE/LB LSU. Can fit in the front 7 rotation at several spots.
Rnd 2 Pick 59: Patriots – Quinton Patton WR Louisiana Tech. Provides the always pass friendly Pats offense with more weapons. More polished route runner, aggressive, competitive, and could be the steal of the draft.
Rnd 2 Pick 60: Falcons- Zach Ertz TE Stanford. Falcons bring back Tony Gonzalez, but also get his replacement for 2014.
Rnd 2 Pick 61: 49ers – John Jenkins DT Georgia. The biggest of the mamouth DT's. Will eat up space for 10 years.
Rnd 2 Pick 62: Ravens – There is no player to replace Ray Lewis. Best player available is Alex Okafor DE Texas. Another rush OLB to rotate in and eventually take over.
Vincent chimes in this afternoon with his thoughts as to who will will go where, tonight in round 2.Rnd 2 Pick 33: Jaguars- Robert Woods WR USC. Rather than draft a QB, Jacksonville needs to draft good offensive players.

Georgia State has picked up commitment No. 10, Will Cunningham, despite the fact that he's never seen the school.
The 6-foot-2, 255-pound defensive end from Cape Coral, Fla., picked Georgia State over football scholarship offers from Ball State, Bowling Green, Western Michigan, Fordham, and Holy Cross.
"I just thought Georgia State was a good school for me," Cunningham told the AJC. "I talked with my parents about everything, including the education. I thought it would be a good school for me to attend."
Cunningham, who has a 3.8 GPA and wants to study something in the medical field, projects to play defensive end or defensive tackle at Georgia State.
He will make his official visit to Georgia State on Dec. 8 – and it will be his first trip to the college.
When asked about committing without ever seeing Georgia State, Cunningham replied, "I just thought it was the right choice for me to make after discussing it with my parents. I'm going there in December. I just wanted to make an early decision because it was the right choice for me and my future."
Perhaps most importantly, Cunningham also didn't want his scholarship spot going to somebody else before he could visit.
He is commitment No. 10 for Georgia State's 2013 recruiting class, according to PantherTalk.com

Seems like a solid pick up even though he hasn't seen the campus and we don't have a coach…hope he likes what he sees! Nothing better than going to school in downtown atlanta, walking distance from anything you could ever want as far as entertainment goes.

WOODRUFF, WI (WSAU) - Three men were arrested Wednesday in Oneida County after a heroin distribution operation was busted near Woodruff. Chief Sheriff's Deputy John Sweeney says their department teamed up with the Northcentral Drug Group, and took 25-year-old Joseph D. Potvine, 26-year-old Joseph D. Lynch, and 26-year-old Korwin D. Rice in to custody.
The three face multiple charges including conspiracy to deliver heroin, maintaining a drug dwelling, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
These arrests are part of an ongoing controlled substance investigation by the Northcentral Drug Enforcement Group (NORDEG) Task Force.
Participating agencies in this investigation included the Oneida County Sheriff's Office, the Rhinelander Police Department, the Vilas County Sheriff's Office, the Woodruff Police Department and the Oneida County District Attorney's Office.

What happened to the cloak and dagger ways of the Cold War that Russia was so good at? In the 60's and 70's, moving Edward Snowden would have been a snap.
Every day, Russian Bear Bombers fly from Russia over the top of the world, down the Atlantic slot and land in Cuba. They mostly do it to remind the United States that they still have a strategic place in our hemisphere.
Sneaking a disguised Snowden out to a desolate Russian Air Base and loading him aboard a Bear Bomber should be easy. He would have a long uncomfortable ride and could see the F-16 US interceptors unknowingly escort him through the international airway that borders the United States. On a clear day, Snowden could perhaps see his beloved homeland on the horizon.
Snowden could deplane at a Cuban Air Base, slip into the Cuban society and in time become an afterthought. There would be Snowden sightings and he could be Cuba's newest celebrity brought out at times to poke the United States in the eye.
These days, even Russia is loving the media attention as the country that is harboring an American fugitive. Snowden will come out under the lights and cameras to wave good bye to his Russian comrades.
The cameras will be in place as the Russian Aeroflot plane lands at the Havana Airport. There will be a group at the bottom of the air-ladder to welcome Snowden to Cuba to begin his new life. Perhaps even Raul Castro himself will be on hand to welcome Snowden.
It will be Cuba's turn to defy the United States demands to extradite Snowden. It will be a high visibility media event should Snowden depart Cuba to go to his permanent home in South America.
It's hard to accept that Russia and Cuba have come out of the shadows of covert operations now that Boris and Natasha live in a nursing home. Now it appears communists around the world have entered a new era of public relations where 'image is everything.'

LEE COUNTY: The teen accused of killing his girlfriend was in court Wednesday for a hearing. It was the first time the victim's mom had seen the girl's boyfriend since the shooting.
Crystal Swazey, Ashlee Swazey's mom, said she had mixed emotions as she watched attorneys discuss what's next in the case.
The mother of 3 buried her middle daughter Ashlee in September after she was shot and killed at her boyfriend's home in Cape Coral.
The Ida Baker student was only 15 years old. Her mom says the pain is still raw, especially around the holidays.
Investigators say Dylan Wisniewski took out a 22 caliber rifle, pointed it at Ashlee and pulled the trigger. She was shot in the head and killed.
Wisniewski told investigators it was accident and he didn't know the gun was loaded.
Wisniewski is charged with manslaughter with a firearm and faces the possibility of 30 years in prison if convicted.
His attorney questioned whether prosecutors could back up the charge in court.
"I'm doing some research on a possible motion to dismiss," said defense attorney Maria Pace.
The defense wouldn't elaborate or offer any other explanation for Ashlee's death.
The state is moving forward with its case and so far has not offered Wisniewski any deals.
Both sides are working to interview witnesses in the case. The judge wants the defense and the state back in court in March to find out if case if ready for trial.

TEAMS: New York Jets
Rex Ryan is off the hot seat, at least for another year. Jets owner Woody Johnson announced today that general manager Mike Tennenbaum would not be back with the team. Johnson released the following statement, "Mike devoted 15 years of service to the Jets, and I want to thank him for his hard work and dedication. Although he helped guide us to two consecutive AFC Championship games, we are not where we want to be, and a new General Manager will be critical to getting this team back on the right track." Along with the announcement, Woody Johnson went on to give his head coach a vote of confidence, indicating that the new GM would not be firing Rex Ryan in favor of another candidate. "Rex Ryan will remain the Head Coach of our football team. I believe that he has the passion, the talent, and the drive to successfully lead our team." The peculiar way this situation has been handled raises more questions in the Jets organization than it actually answe...
