Yes, Tune In Tomorrow: No Soap Reruns for Now
By JACQUES STEINBERG
Published: November 8, 2007
While the sidelining of ōThe Colbert Reportö until further notice is one of the more prominent repercussions of the film and television writersÆ strike, there are other uncertainties: Will that passionate kiss shared this week by Marina and Cyrus after Cyrus nearly died signal a permanent reconciliation?
Those characters appear on the CBS soap opera ōThe Guiding Light.ö And like their fictional brethren on ōAll My Childrenö on ABC and ōDays of Our Livesö on NBC, those charactersÆ futures Ś or at least who will be responsible for scripting their futures Ś could soon become as unsure as the prospects of Ric surviving this weekÆs surgery on ōGeneral Hospital.ö
Unlike late-night television shows or sitcoms, networks almost never show reruns of soap operas. They prefer instead to keep the interwoven narratives churning forward over the course of five new episodes a week, 52 weeks a year. For the immediate future viewers addicted to those shows can breathe easy: The producers of most of the shows possess finished or nearly finished scripts for episodes scheduled to be broadcast through January or even beyond.
But because the episodes of daytime dramas are mapped out so far in advance, the networks will soon have to confront the question of whether to entrust the intricacies of their forthcoming plots to the unseasoned pens of executives and producers, or writers who are not part of the union. That is what happened in 1988, when a strike by the same union, the Writers Guild of America, dragged on for more than five months.
ōThey wonÆt go dark,ö predicted Stephen Demorest, 58, a writer for ōAll My Childrenö whose previous credits include ōGeneral Hospitalö and ōAs the World Turns.ö ōThey wonÆt put on game shows. They wonÆt do reruns.ö
The networks themselves have said little more than that their daytime serials will go on, while refusing to discuss any contingency plans.
On its face, the labor dispute between writers and their employers Ś centered largely on potential royalties from DVDs and online ventures Ś would seem to have little bearing on soap-opera writers, whose wares are as perishable as a printed copy of a daily newspaper.
But as with so many of the traditional media, daytime dramas have already begun to migrate, however tentatively, to the Web. NBC, which had three soap operas on broadcast television as recently as 1999 Ś ōDays of Our Lives,ö ōPassionsö and ōAnother Worldö Ś now has only one, ōDays.ö (ōPassionsö lives on only on DirecTV, a satellite channel.)
NBCÆs newest soap, ōCoastal Dreams,ö can be seen only online, at nbc.com. And its principal writer is not, as yet, covered by the guild contract, said David Rupel, a guild strike captain who is a writer for ōThe Guiding Light.ö
ōI think the strike is very relevant to us,ö said Mr. Rupel, 44, who previously wrote for ōGeneral Hospital.ö ōæGuiding Light,Æ we celebrated our 75th anniversary this year, which is great. But the soap market is dwindling on TV. In five years, three years or even two, we could be on the Internet.ö
Courtney Simon, a veteran writer for ōAs the World Turns,ö noted that her series and ōThe Young and the Restless,ö another CBS drama, had recently mounted a limited, online run of an amalgam of both shows called ōL.A. Diaries.ö
ōI think itÆs the wave of the future,ö she said. ōAnd itÆs going to hit home very soon.ö
But in expressing his solidarity with striking writers from other genres, Mr. Demorest, who has been writing for daytime dramas for more than two decades, gave a more basic reason: ōWe benefit from the same benefits, pensions and health plans.ö
With no break for repeats or hiatuses, Mr. Demorest said he tended to think of himself and his fellow soap scribes as ōthe blue-collar part of the business. We work 52 weeks a year and get a check every week.ö
The minimum salary for such work might run from as little as $1,600 a week (for a minimum of 13 weeks) for a script editor, to as much as $20,000 a week for a veteran head writer.
Typically such series are written by teams of experienced writers Ś it is not unusual for a soap writer to stay in the business 15 years or more Ś who bring vast institutional knowledge, such as it is, to pertinent questions like whether one character has already slept with another or is distantly related to a third.
Most shows are as well oiled behind the scenes as a General Motors assembly line. In a typical model the head writer roughs out the synopsis of a weekÆs worth of episodes, then gives those plots to another set of writers to outline individual scenes in more detail. Each episode is then divvied up among another team of writers, to supply the dialogue, before an editor provides a final gloss.
Ms. Simon of ōAs the World Turnsö said there were probably some soap producers out there who have always wondered what it would be like to write an episode. While they may soon get the chance, she warned that it is not as easy as it must look.
ōIt really requires a relentless pace,ö she said.

70th anniversary on television. Guiding Light started as a radio soap a few years before making the leap to TV.

Sharongate, bitches!
It's 75 years all together, it debuted on radio in 1937 and on television in 1952. This marks GL's 55th year on television.

Conference realignment was in full swing last year, and today is the day when those moves became official for the 2013 football season.
Let's take a look at each Football Bowl Subdivision conference and which teams have joined or moved on to greener pastures.
Incoming: Pittsburgh, Syracuse
Outgoing: None
Future moves (2014): Louisville (Incoming), Maryland (Outgoing)
Pittsburgh and Syracuse both join the ACC today from the Big East, which as of today is known as the American Athletic Conference. Pitt was placed in the Coastal Division of the ACC while Syracuse was placed in the Atlantic. Here are the updated ACC divisions:
Atlantic: Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Maryland, NC State, Syracuse, Wake Forest
Coastal: Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Virginia Tech
Incoming: Houston, Memphis, SMU, UCF
Outgoing: Pittsburgh, Syracuse
Future moves (2014): East Carolina (Incoming), Tulane (Incoming), Tulsa (Incoming), Louisville (Outgoing), Rutgers (Outgoing)
Future Moves (2015): Navy (Incoming)
As we mentioned, the old Big East is now known as the American Athletic Conference. They prefer to use "The American" as their brand name rather than the abbreviation AAC.
Pittsburgh and Syracuse have left what was the Big East for the ACC. Houston, Memphis, SMU, and UCF all join The American from Conference USA. Here are the ten American Athletic Conference teams for the 2013 season:
Cincinnati, Connecticut, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, Rutgers, SMU, Temple, UCF, USF
Incoming: None
Outgoing: None
Future moves: None
The Big 12 neither adds or loses members for the 2013 season. The conference appears to be content at ten members for the time being.
Incoming: None
Outgoing: None
Future moves (2014): Maryland (Incoming), Rutgers (Incoming)
The Big Ten neither adds or loses members for the 2013 season. In 2014, they will add Maryland and Rutgers. At that time, they will realign into new East-West divisions.
Incoming: Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, UTSA
Outgoing: Houston, Memphis, SMU, UCF
Future moves (2014): Old Dominion (Incoming), Western Kentucky (Incoming), East Carolina (Outgoing), Tulane (Outgoing), Tulsa (Outgoing)
Future moves (2015): Charlotte (Incoming)
Conference USA has the most changes in 2013 with four members leaving and six coming in. Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Middle Tennessee, and North Texas move over from the Sun Belt while Louisiana Tech and UTSA leave behind the now defunct WAC. Houston, Memphis, SMU, and UCF each left for The American. Here are the updated C-USA divisions for 2013:
East: East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, Southern Miss, UAB
West: Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Rice, Tulane, Tulsa, UTEP, UTSA
Incoming: Idaho, New Mexico State
Outgoing: None
Future moves (2014): Idaho (Outgoing), New Mexico State (Outgoing)
Future moves (2015): Navy (Outgoing)
Although not technically a conference, two teams are now FBS Independents. Idaho and New Mexico State were the only two WAC teams that couldn't find a conference to join in 2013. They will each be Independent for only one season before joining the Sun Belt Conference in 2014.
Incoming: None
Outgoing: None
Future moves: None
The MAC neither adds or loses members for the 2013 season. They currently have 13 members and appear to be content with that number.
Mountain West Conference (MWC)
Incoming: San Jose State, Utah State
Outgoing: None
Future moves: None
The Mountain West adds San Jose State and Utah State and was able to retain Boise State and San Diego State. Those two were headed for the Big East but later opted to stay with the MWC. Listed below is the new alignment for the Mountain West Conference, which will hold its first championship game on Dec. 7:
Mountain: Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico, Utah State, Wyoming
West: Fresno State, Hawaii, Nevada, San Diego State, San Jose State, UNLV
Incoming: None
Outgoing: None
Future moves: None
The Pac-12 neither adds or loses members for the 2013 season.
Incoming: None
Outgoing: None
Future moves: None
The SEC neither adds or loses members for the 2013 season.
Incoming: Georgia State, Texas State
Outgoing: Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Middle Tennessee, North Texas
Future moves (2014): Appalachian State (Incoming), Georgia Southern (Incoming), Idaho (Incoming), New Mexico State (Incoming), Western Kentucky (Outgoing)
The Sun Belt is the only conference to add less members (2) than they lost (4) for the 2013 season. Georgia State is now a full member of the SBC after their transition from the FCS. Texas State joins the conference from the WAC, which no longer sponsors football.
With only eight members in 2013, each SBC schools plays a five-game non-conference football schedule. Here are the eight Sun Belt members for 2013:
Arkansas State, Georgia State, South Alabama, Texas State, Troy, UL Lafayette, ULM, Western Kentucky
Western Athletic Conference (WAC)
Incoming: None
Outgoing: Idaho, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State, Texas State, Utah State, UTSA
Future moves: None
The Western Athletic Conference no longer sponsors football. R.I.P. WAC football.
well I guess it's official you can take Big East name out of the American on your page now…
wish every conference could get 12 members and a conference championship game and then conference realignment could just stop entirely…
I couldn't agree more. This makes my head hurt.
don't know why NMSU would've stayed indy when the SunBelt could have used the perfect number for a true round robin season schedule, 9….
There join next year for football only. They originally left because the WAC was considered a better football conference then the sun belt was at the time.
Poor WAC, but someone was going to get left in the dust. Interesting that it turned out to be them and not someone like the Sun Belt.
WAC is still alive for other sports, just not enough football schools.
The WAC is alive for other sports, but it is not well. They did pull UMKC from the Summit League, which is a good sign.
The University of Who cares located in Nowwheresville would be an excellent candidate for the WAC and a perfect fit.
WAC translation:
W: What
A: Awful
C: Conference
Colorado State and Utah State need to join the PAC in all sports to do well. So much more money would be made. Rivalry games would be eaisier to schedule, and they coluld schedule the PAC championship game at an NFL stadium such as Denver. The two teams would have more competition and more motivation to do well.
True, and I should marry Kate Moss. Only problem is Kate and the Pac-12 just aren't all that interested.
@Herm, lol'd. You are spot on though. The Pac-10 expanded to 12 to land the TV deal. They got their TV deal, now they're content to roll around in the huge pile of cash. No need to share it with more schools.
NMSU should also join the Mountain West for the same reason.
This is a little bit more realistic, NMSU and Idaho would be reasonable fits in the Mt. West. If they had gotten in the door before SDSU and Boise State did their about-face from the move to the Big East, it would not have surprised me.
They weren't invite to the conference the Mt west wanted the 2 spots for SDSU and Boise. They were betting on them coming back. NMSU and Idaho were the worst case scenario for them.
@ Biggs
That is true. However the Mountain West could still see fit to absorb NMSU and Idaho and expand to 14 teams. I guess those schools are joining the Sun Belt Conference, but the Mountain West would be a better geographic fit for both of them, and probably better for continuing historical rivalries as well. And they are both strong enough programs to be reasonably competitive at the Mountain West level.
Does anyone know if the Sun Belt is targeting another FCS school to get to twelve?
I think that New mexico state should join conference USA and Notre Dame should join the Acc and Byu and Idaho should go pac12
Idaho in the Pac-12? You have got to be kidding, they couldn't win consistently in the WAC. When they grow up maybe they will be able to get into the Mountain West, but as for the Pac-12 I wouldn't hold your breath. I think the issue with Notre Dame and BYU staying independent is largely due to their status as religious schools. But the real reason independent status works well for both of them is the prestige of both programs…tradition, history of National Championships, Heisman Trophy winners, future Super Bowl MVP's, etc…neither one has any problem scheduling quality opponents, so they do not feel pressure to join a conference.
Anybody know the latest news on the lawsuit between Boise State and the AAC/Big East? BSU never should have gotten themselves into that pickle, San Diego State was a lot smarter in how they went about it. Getting yourself sued by a conference is not the best way to save money for a stadium upgrade.
here is what I want to see. I want to see Boise state and byu join the pac-12 and then make it the pac-14. And I also want to see connecticut and cincinnati join the acc and that makes the acc 16 teams and I think it will be the first conference to go to 16 teams. And that is what I think what will happen in the future. And plus Byu is not going to join the big 12 in my opinion.
Based on geography, I certainly understand your the logic of your opinion. However, geography is not the primary basis for conference realignment.
The primary basis for conference realignment is television revenue. There are several secondary bases for realignment as well, but television revenue is the basis that always has to be satisfied.
Boise State is a fine program. However, it is located in a sparsely populated state (as reflected by its 37,000 seat stadium). Unless the population of Idaho jumps up tremendously, Boise State will never be invited to the Pac-12. They don't add enough to even make up for the share of the pie that they would take.
BYU is a closer call. However, how much does BYU add TV wise since Utah is already a member of the Pac-12? Not much
I don't see the Pac-12 expanding anytime soon, if ever (that's a bold statement in this day and age). If they ever did, it would most like be for a Texas – Texas Tech – Oklahoma – Oklahoma State combo and even that's a long shot.
I forgot to mention, Cincinnati and Connecticut to the ACC is a real possibility but not for sometime. The ACC probably wants to see how the 14 team league works first. The main argument against a 16 team league is that a lot of traditional rivalries would be lost. (Not that that has prevented expansion in the past).
What I would like to see is the NCAA trying to help the 4 weaker conferences become more competitive. My objective would be to eventually expand the playoff format to include all ten conference champions. A ten-team tournament would have to have a pair of "wild card" games the first week, between the four lowest ranked teams. The other six conference champions would have a bye week. The second week would have four games, with the wildcard winners playing the two highest ranked conference champions and the other four conference champions facing off in order of ranking. The four winners would play each other the next week, with the two finalists playing for the National Championship.
Instead of having all these conferences, we should just dismiss all conferences and make all 120+ football programs be independent. Easy solution!

News Up or Down on the Rebuild
posted by February 14 at 11:08 AMon
Two months ago, after Gov. Christine Gregoire's first iteration of her viaduct positiona vote between the rebuild and the tunnel I slogged that the vote was booby-trapped against the tunnel because, as everyone knew, the tunnel didn't have a legit plan yet. So, at that time, I suggested an up or down vote on the rebuild.
Well, we're back again. Only now it's literal. With the governor's latest iteration of her position on the viaduct, the state has declared the tunnel dead and the dual vote irrelevant.
Okay. So, as I said two months ago, if the rebuild is currently the only fully realized plan, let voters have an up or down say on that plan.
The city council should scramble and let the public vote yea or nay on the rebuild without having to do what amounts to calculus book run-off voting in this bizarre tunnel/rebuild vote scheduled for next month.

Comments about Women's Rainfoil® Fleece-Lined Parka:
I needed a jacket for our travels to Europe during the early spring. This jacket is perfect for me!. It's not too heavy, yet provides enough warmth to keep me comfortable. Plus, given the number of rainy days we encountered on our last trip, I also needed something that would keep me dry without having to deal with an umbrella. I love the fleece-lined front pockets and the tailored fit. The only change I would have liked to see is the addition of one or two pockets on the inside. Other than that, it's a great jacket.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Vanderbilt just can't escape the
towering shadow of its instate rival -- six-time national champion
The Commodores are busy preparing for their Midwest Regional
semifinal against Stanford on Sunday, but everyone keeps asking
about the Lady Vols.
The reason: A win over Stanford could set up a third game this
season between Tennessee and Vanderbilt, and the second in three
years with a trip to the Final Four on the line. Top-seeded
Tennessee plays Baylor in the other game.
"We're surrounded by orange people all the time around our
campus,'' senior forward Jenni Benningfield said.
"I'm still bitter about my sophomore year when they beat us in
the Elite Eight to go to the Final Four. That's still in the back
of my mind.''
Tennessee beat Vanderbilt 68-63 in that Midwest Regional final
in 2002 in Ames, Iowa, in their only NCAA Tournament meeting.
But it usually does not matter where they play because the Lady
Vols lead the series 42-6, even though Vandy has a tradition almost
as strong as Tennessee. This is the Commodores' 17th NCAA berth --
behind only Tennessee (23) and Georgia (21) in the SEC -- and their
11th time in the final 16 in the past 15 seasons.
These rivals, separated by 194 miles, have played three games in
a season six times since 1994, and the possibility of a seventh is
the biggest question facing the Commodores before leaving for
Norman, Okla., on Friday.
Coach Melanie Balcomb, whose Xavier squad beat Tennessee in the
2001 regional semifinal, said she doesn't have to remind her
players to concentrate on sixth-seeded Stanford (26-6).
"I have great senior leadership. We're excited to play Stanford
and play in the Sweet 16. We're focused on this game and this game
only,'' she said.
The prospect of defending All-American Nicole Powell keeps Vandy
focused, along with knowing that Stanford is why the Commodores
will not be playing Oklahoma on its home court.
"We're taking this tournament one game at a time because that's
what you have to do, or you're going to end up going home,'' senior
guard Hillary Hager said.
The Commodores (26-7) are one of the hottest teams in the NCAA
Tournament, having won 10 straight games. The streak nearly started
Feb. 15 against Tennessee, but Tasha Butts scored a career-high 37
points to give the Lady Vols a 94-88 victory.
After that loss, Balcomb thought her Commodores might miss out
on the postseason completely. They dropped to 16-7 overall, 4-6 in
the Southeastern Conference.
It has been a tough season with junior guard Abi Ramsey
suspended for nine games after being arrested for drunken driving
and Benningfield missing most of January with a stress fracture in
her right foot.
The six freshmen struggled with bouts of homesickness, and then
came a four-game SEC losing skid that caused Balcomb to throw open
competition for the starting lineup. She also skipped one practice
to take her team to see the movie "Miracle.''
They haven't lost since.
Hager said the Commodores are playing their style of basketball
now with freshmen Carla Thomas and Dee Davis in the starting
lineup. With tenacious defense, Vandy is a perfect 19-0 when
holding opponents below 40 percent shooting.
Vandy's only Final Four came in 1993, one of eight the Lady Vols
have missed. Benningfield said the best thing about this rivalry is
that the Commodores know what will be waiting for them if they beat
"But we've got to get there first,'' she said.

"Smarty Jones" circles, slides and spins to the freestyle reining win at the All American Quarter Horse Congress.
By Larri Jo Starkey
Three years ago, Laura Mae Schoeller won the All American Quarter Horse Congress freestyle reining competition on Pickup Chic with a routine to music from "Phantom of the Opera."
Then she became ill and was unable to compete. For her fourth ride in competition since her return to riding, Laura chose "Pickup" again dressed as a jockey on the Thoroughbred racehorse Smarty Jones. As music from the movie "Spirit" played interspersed with Tom Durkin's race call from Smarty Jones' Kentucky Derby win.
Riding in two-point, even for the slides, Laura and Pickup had the crowd on its feet by the time they finished their freestyle "race."
"It's a crazy little world inside my head," Laura said, tapping her head with a finger and laughing. "I wanted to do Seabiscuit, but the quality of the sound was so old that it wouldn't have the effect that I needed it to have. So I started researching every Kentucky Derby winner in the past 10 years."
Laura also considered Secretariat, because she knew the movie about him was appearing in theaters this year, but the sound was again too old.
"I came across Smarty Jones, and Tom Durkin was the commentator, and it gave me goosebumps, and I said that's my race," she said. She pulled Pickup, her father's horse, out of semiretirement and started planning her moves, concentrating on his best one: his stops.
The audience couldn't stop cheering, and the judges agreed, scoring the ride a 228 and giving Laura the freestyle championship.
The reserve champion, Alyssa Boender of Lake Village, Indiana, wanted to be sure everyone in the crowd would have something to enjoy. She picked a medley of Beach Boys music and talked her husband, Russ, into riding "water skis" pulled by A Sunny Sunrise. At the end of the tune "Wipeout," Russ wiped out on his sand skis, and Alyssa really took off, guiding "Sunny" through hard stops and fast circles before reaching up and taking off his bridle for a few bridleless maneuvers to end the program with a 225.
"Sunnyis a cool horse," Alyssa said. "Not the best horse for the regular patterns because he knows what he's doing, but when you change it up, he gets pretty dynamic. He has a lot of fun when it comes to something like this."
The morning didn't start off fun, though. During the first practice session in the coliseum, Sunny got nervous and threw in a buck. Alyssa came off, and Sunny landed on her thigh.
"The medic saw me," she said. "I have a big hematoma on my leg. Possible concussion. But we got through it and (the competition) was so much fun."
She'll be back next year, she says, with more for Sunny to do.
Pete Kyle of Whitesboro, Texas, had two horses in the competition, placing third on Whizs Bronze Star with "Pirate Pete" reining to music from "Pirates of the Caribbean" music. His swashbuckling horseback duel with another dastardly villain was a crowd-pleaser as well, scoring a 224.

Killer 7 dev to create social mobile games in Japan
Grasshopper Manufacture, creator of offbeat titles Killer 7, No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned, has teamed up with Japanese social gaming company DeNA to work on new projects. Expect kooky results.
A new team, Grasshopper Social Network Service, has been created to work on a joint venture between DeNA and Grasshopper Manufacture for Japan's Mobage platform.
"Our new venture with DeNA will allow us to explore creative ways to bring Grasshopper Manufacture's universe to a new world of players," said Goichi Suda, CEO of Grasshopper Manufacture. "Mobage's world-class entertainment network and the power of social mobile games will unlock new types of experiences for our fans."
A similar collaboration between Square Enix and DeNA was recently announced and will see a game based on the Final Fantasy IP hit the Mobage platform.
There's no word on Western release for either project as yet.
Thanks, Destructoid.

Association of Emergency Physicians
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Association of Emergency Physicians (AEP) is a professional organization of emergency medicine physicians. It was founded in 1991 and offers membership to any practicing emergency physician regardless of training.[1] Therefore, it is more inclusive than its counterparts ACEP and ACOEP. AEP acknowledges that a portion of currently practicing emergency physicians in the United States entered the field of emergency medicine prior to the establishment of formal training programs. It has members in 45 states.[1]

Abstract72927S03-I The safety and reliability of the nation¿s natural gas infrastructure requires the rapid and efficient detection of pipeline leaks. Existing methods have the requisite sensitivity, but are too slow. What is needed is a rapid, remote sensing system, suitable for aircraft deployment, that can provide short term (hours to weeks) monitoring of potential trouble spots. This project will develop a two-tiered approach based on optical detection of natural gas. One instrument will be a fast-response, airborne remote sensing detector. The other is a compact, lightweight, and fully automated point sensor that can telemeter measurements using wireless communications. Phase I will: (1) build a laser light source, based on lasers used for fiber optic communications but with over ten times more power, that will be useful for remote sensing of pipeline leaks; (2) demonstrate the usefulness of the laser light source; and (3) construct a prototype, low-power instrument, suitable for continuous point measurements of potential trouble spots. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by awardee: An enhanced ability to detect natural gas pipeline leaks should increase the safety, stability, and reliability of the natural gas supply. Switching from oil to domestic natural gas reduces our dependence on foreign energy supplies.

Possibly up to six staff at Farra Engineering's fabrication
division in Dunedin could lose their jobs, with a downturn in
Farra chief executive John Whitaker confirmed, when contacted
yesterday, that consultation was under way at the fabrication
division, and he was ''hopeful'' the final number made
redundant would be fewer than the six suggested.
''Some contracts we had expected have been slow to come
through and have taken longer to be finalised,'' Mr Whitaker
''General trading conditions are still very difficult.''
Farra, which at present employs 120 staff, exports
niche-market engineering products around the world, including
to aluminium smelters. Its projects include hanging
maintenance units for high-rise buildings.
Mr Whitaker said suggestions from fabrication staff were
still being considered and a final decision was likely to be
made by the end of next week.
He said the were ''no concerns at all'' that other divisions
within the Farra group could be facing job cuts, given the
present economic conditions.
''We do have some new work prospects coming through,'' he
In late-2009, Farra had to cut four jobs following the loss
of a $1.8 million Australian contract.
During the preceding 15 months, staffing at Farra staff was
cut by a total of 15 to fewer than 100, at the time.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
To be fair the Govt could hardly afford anything but crappy
imported wagons.
I am extremely stunned that the CEO Mr Whitaker does not
appear to know what has caused these job losses, thank you
for putting us straight Capri.
No mention of Hillside when he was interviewed so it appears
he is unaware of what is happening in his business - perhaps
his should be one of the positions to go.
These job losses are directly attributable to the John
Key-led government decision not to manufacture KiwiRail's
rolling stock at Hillside. Farra supplied many of the
components used by Hillside to manufacture the Trans Alpine
carriages, now their workload has disappeared. Surprise

Worms Revolution dev diary shows off stripped-back classic mode
Having introduced all new bells and whistled in the previous three developer diaries, this latest Worms Revolution exposé reveals a mode in which you can turn them all off.
In the video below, Team 17 talks us through the single-player campaign, designed to introduce newbs and veterans alike to new gameplay features like classes and dynamic water; puzzle mode; and multiplayer. One of the most interesting aspects of the latter is a "classic" option, allowing you to disable all the new things. Boy, does Team 17 know its audience.
Worms Revolution hits PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sometime in northern autumn. See previous diaries here, here and here.

|Stone 20th Anniversary Encore Series: Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout
brokensail (1292) Dublin, California | December 25, 2014
Stopped in after visiting the world famous Salinas Safeway. Typical BevMo selection here of the big players in California beer. Stone, Lagunitas, Firestone, Sierra Nevada, all that jazz. Some of the random house labels (from Hermitage, I believe). The usual suspects as far as imports go as well. t0rin0s favorite (Vitus and other Weihenstephaner offerings) are included. Okay if youre in the area, but as always, dont drive all the way to Salinas...not that you would anyway.

t0rin0 (1516) Do Not Resuscitate, California | June 13, 2013
Visited June 9, 2013.
Looks on the map like its right off the freeway but in fact you have to drive about a mile north on the frontage road. My GPS might have been acting funny or maybe I entered it wrong but the address I entered was in the Costco shopping center when in fact this place is a bit further north. Its in the shopping center with the Home Depot, and next to a Panda Express if youre feeling fat.
Selection is small and par for the course for Bevmo. What was interesting was the Mr Beer stuff located in the home bar section. Had two people ask if I need help during my short time there. Also noteworthy was that this place tests positive for Vitus. $2.99.
IrishBoy (113) Bakersfield, California | June 7, 2009| Updated June 10, 2009
Nice selection, pretty typical of Nor Cal Bevmos. Prices good and relatively close to Enniskillins new house.

Has the whole of WHL gone mad??
We've got 2 first team strikers currently at the club, one's leaving in the next week (no two ways about it) and the other's been our last resort for ages, so what to Spurs do? Decide to send the star striker of the reserve team out on loan! It's absolute ridiculousness.
I really think we should get the ground testing for a carbon monoxide leak or something, that can do funny things to your brain and I can't think what else it could be.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I think you're slightly out there. Last season we had two top strikers whose goalscoring stopped us from being in the relegation zone.
The board is absolutely stuffed here - they blame everyone else for tapping up - how can they do that after what they did with Martin Jol/Wendy Ramos? And don't they see, that the current mess is a direct result of those actions last season?
benidorm spur benidorm spur Aug 25, 2008 23:54 Flag
i just cant see things getting amy better for a while. all that money and naff all. this striker situation is getting silly now as well. only bent upfront , if some one isnt bought in soon thigs are gonna go the same as last year.
oh and please dont let it be heskey i beg u spurs not him.
must agree, we knew one striker was off, the other was a suprise, but they must have a new signing lined up.
you need at least three/four fowards to compete up the top, why don't we play some reserve/youth players , why do clubs have a reserve/youth team????

The problem is that with only 1 week until the transfer window closes any new strikers coming in could either be a panic buy or won't gel with the current squad quickly enough to make any significant impact - unless we're extremely lucky.
I can't believe we've left it as late as this to bring in another striker (or two!) so maybe there are hush hush negotiations going on that haven't made it to the rumour mill, especially given the fact we've been linked with the world and his wife since Keano left.
We can but live in hope.
A Yahoo! User Aug 25, 2008 02:16 Flag
it's ok i heard a rumour that jimmy greaves and garth crooks are going to fill in till the next transfer window! seriously though i think we must have been trying to identify replacements before letting the sulky pratt go, i think when he does go we will see two new strikers come in and personally i can't wait to see the back of him after the way he has behaved, arshavin, villa and a decent commanding centre back will do nicely, have to hurry though.
Kentish Maid Kentish Maid Aug 25, 2008 01:53 Flag
Totally agree with you not_blonde - what on earth are they thinking about?
Ramos should at least play him in a PL match (even coming on as a sub in the 2nd half) to see if he can cut it. In any case, the time for sending him out to a Championship side was last season so that he could be ready for this season. Pekhart has clearly proved himself in the reserve team matches and in the friendlies so why not allow him to make the step up?

The isotropic conductive adhesive (ICA) mounting technology is of growing interest, but reliability concerns are still preventing its broad application. Reports on environmental testing results are related to both high temperature storage and thermal cycling. Additionally, the influence of moisture has been investigated for both pressure cooker test and humidity storage with exposure times up to several weeks. In an ICA, the conductive particles are embedded in a polymeric matrix material, where they can form conductive paths. This mechanical part of the conductive mechanism was studied in more detail using a finite element (FE-) model, because only a little information is available on this subject. A joint of a chip resistor on an organic board was selected for the model. The conductive adhesive is not treated as a homogeneous material, but split into the polymeric matrix material and idealized conductive particles. A temperature dependent viscoelastic constitutive description has been used to model the epoxy behavior. Additionally, moisture diffusion analyzes of the adhesive joints were conducted. The contacting pressure of the particles is shown to depend on cure shrinkage, temperature changes, and moisture swelling effects

The Broome County Bar Association could help. You should try to make the landlord pay.
#5 Jun 22, 2012
Anna, you are a moron beyond belief! What in the hell does the landlord have to do with an area power outage? I hope D does go to the Bar Assoc - they could use the laugh!
Donawah needs to check with his/her homeowners/renters insurance. There may be coverage there depending on the policy.
#6 Jun 22, 2012
I wonder how much domestic violence took place when those people lost that precious energy and didn't get to watch the basketball championship game that everybody knew Miami was going to win anyway's, after reading Anna's comment and advice.......... it was my laugh of the day. HAAAAAAAAAAAA.
#8 Jun 22, 2012
Yep!! trying to help another female who's upset and ready to sue everybody about missing a sports broadcast because of an energy failure.
#9 Jul 5, 2012
They are trying to kill us. look what they are doing in Washington DC Power companies need to be sued in court
#10 Jul 5, 2012
As somebody who has been directly impacted by the power outage in Washington, let me respond. A freak storm hit with 80mph winds that downed trees and powerlines over a wide, densly populated area. What did you expect to happen, that everybody would have their power restored within 12 hours? The enormity of the work is apparent to those of us who live here. Crews from around the country are working around the clock to restore power.
I have lost a refrigerator and freezer full of food while my power was out for 2 days. It was terribly uncomfortable with the near 100 deg heat, but we survived. I have no reason to sue anybody. Live dealt us a blow and we move on. What is it with you that you're ready to sue because you were inconvienced so much as to miss a televised sporting event.
Our ancestors tamed a continent and faced hardships and uncertainties that based on our current nerf lifestyle, would reduce our current population to jelly.

Madoff Losses Unite Feuding Boncampagnis
Who? Oh, them.
Socialite sisters Tatiana and Natasha Boncompagni, who late last year were on the verge of scratching each other's faces off over the authorship of the chick-lit novel Hedge Fund Wives (Natasha wanted a co-author credit, Tatiana wouldn't give her one), have now made up, because, according to Natasha, Tatiana's husband had something to do with the Fairfield Greenwich group and she has "enough problems." Also, authoring a wealth-porn book about hedge-fund wives probably seems a soupçon less prestigious now that the party is over for hedge funds. [WSJ, NYDN]
