GOP Freshmen Will Try Not to Be Such Corrupted Perverts This Time Around
High hopes, this bunch.
You remember freshman orientation, right? Meeting your new roommates and neighbors. The feeling of endless new possibilities. Hoping nobody discovers the significantly less cool person you were only a few months ago. In the case of Congress's Republican freshmen, who are in Washington to learn how to be congressmen this week, orientation means another thing: dealing with the haunting legacy of the GOP wave that came before you, in 1994. Reports Politico:
Interviews with more than a dozen Republican freshmen reveal a group determined to serve as delegates for the discontent that powered their elections but also to avoid the pitfalls of their predecessors.
Pitfalls? What pitfalls? There were pitfalls?
For one, they became seduced by the greedy lobbyist culture of Washington.
It's one thing to rail against the Beltway in a stump speech, but being chaste is a lot more difficult when one is confronted with all the capital's vice (the political kind, as well as the genuine article) in person.
"Now, all of a sudden, people want to take you to dinner, want just five minutes of your time, want to give you things," said journalist Linda Killian, author of the landmark book "The Freshmen: What Happened to the Republican Revolution," which chronicled the '94 class. "It's a very heady thing."
Also, they seduced lots of people into having sex with them.
There are Mark Souder, Mark Sanford and John Ensign, all adulterers of recent vintage. But what's remarkable is how many other, less notorious, members of the Class of '94 also carried on affairs or were caught in sex scandals.
So many sex scandals. But how does one avoid such a fate this time around? How is it even possible for such powerful men to steer clear of temptation?
"I went home to my family every night," said Rep. George Nethercutt, the giant killer of the '94 class who defeated Speaker Tom Foley.
Huh ... ok. Hush money could also work, right?
Congressional freshmen vow not to party like it's 1994 [Politico]

Take care of yourself. It's something most of us don't do very well. Do you? Admit it – it's last on your list of things to do that never get done. But now you've noticed how depleted you feel mentally and physically.
Well just as I expected. Oldham County had two middle school cross country teams that won at state and there was only a small mention and the teams were labeled wrong. Not a big surprise.
Oldham County had close to 400 runners compete at Masterson Station Park on Oct. 26 with over 400 runners in some races. Our athletes represented Kentucky and our county against some 3,000 runners from across the state and The Era can't even distinguish between a boys team and a girls team.
In response to comments made regarding the La Grange City tax, I would like to put my 1% in! I do not live in the La Grange City limits but unfortunately work within the city limits. However I do live in Oldham County.
When we vote for elected officials such as President, Senators,etc., we vote for who we think will do the best for us as citizens of the United States. I have that right and I am very thankful for that.
La Grange city council recently passed new consumer fireworks regulations and fees. The reason cited was that state law now allows more and larger devices to be used. This reason is disingenuous at best and dishonest at worst.
While my best friend was designing her "signature scent" in a fancy parfumerie in Covent Garden, I was next door at the cookie shop, deciding between Double Chocolate Chunk and Raspberry Macadamia. Actually, I knew I would choose Double Chocolate Chunk, but I took my time because designing a signature scent takes forever.
Finally, she emerged smelling nearly as delicious as the cookie I was wolfing down. Holding up a small vial, she explained, "They store the formula, so, I can purchase more in the future!"
There is a reason that freedom of speech is the first amendment to the United States Constitution. It is because we are really the only country that has such unfettered freedom.
As is so frequently and eloquently pointed out by my friend Saddique Malik in various articles in the Courier Journal concerning Muslim fundamentalism – "free debate is a death-knell for fundamentalism." … "it's the freedom, stupid"
An effort by the Oldham County Sheriff's Department and the Oldham County Police on October 26th to remove prescription drugs from circulation in Oldham County was a big success.
In partnership with the DEA, the agencies took in a combined eighty three pounds of unused and expired prescription drugs, pills, liquids and creams. Three hundred used and unused syringes were also turned in.

Daybreak Games Hit By DDoS After CEO Threatens Lizard Squad Hacker
If you had trouble signing into online games like PlanetSide 2 or H1Z1 over the past day or two, you can blame whoever's going after their servers.
If you had trouble signing into online games like PlanetSide 2 or H1Z1 over the past day or two, you can blame whoever's going after their servers.
PlanetSide 2 for the PlayStation 4 is still a thing that is happening, and it's happening June 23. Daybreak Game Company details the upcoming console launch of the free-to-play massively multiplayer online shooter over at the PlayStation Blog.
1,158 players. 5,089 vehicles destroyed. 53,729 kills. Big numbers, is what I'm saying.
Not only did Joshino pull off this well-known Battlefield move in Planetside 2, but he made it his last kill to reach Battle Rank 100.
This past weekend Red Bull hosted another StarCraft II tournament, which they call the Training Grounds, and featured some of the best players from around the world. There was also a surprise coming out of Brazil with the Brazil Gaming League Arena which saw some fierce competition in the free-to-play first person…
A PlayStation Plus subscription may be required for online multiplayer on the PS4, but it won't required when the console gets DC Universe Online and Planetside 2, both of which are free to play. DCUO's PS4 version will also be cross compatible with the PC title.
The whole point of Planetside 2 is that it's a big shooter. Even by Battlefield or ArmA II standards, it's enormous. Big maps, even bigger battles. To give you an idea of just how big, take a look at this amazing video.
While the large-scale premise is interesting, I just haven't been that keen on Planetside 2. Not sure why. Might have something to do with the garish art design. Whatever, I just have not been feeling it!
Premiering live today at the 2012 China Digital Entertainment Expo & Conference, PlanetSide 2's 'Death is No Excuse' CGI trailer takes the spirit of Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming massively multiplayer online first-person shooter and dresses it up in a fancy coat of blood-splattered CGI. If only the game were…
Publishers are rolling out their E3 line-ups just as the big convention rears its massive head. We've even had some somewhat-surprising, but really-not-that-surprising reveals come of these announcements, too.
Want to sign up for Planetside 2's beta? Well, go sign up right here. [Planetside 2]
Planetside 2, the massively multiplayer first-person shooter with persistent warfare between three competing factions, is shaping up to be a pleasantly hardcore experience, if a presentation by the team is anything to go by. FPSGuru.com spoke to Sony Online Entertainment's John Smedley and Matt Higby, who described …
When it comes to blowing the roof off a video game genre, one couldn't aim for a more low-hanging, flimsily constructed covering than that of the massively multiplayer online first-person shooter market.
The countdown has ended and Sony Online Entertainment has pulled back the curtain on Planetside 2, the sequel to the ambitious 2003 massively multiplayer online first-person shooter.
We already know Sony Online Entertainment is working on a new Planetside game. That's...about all we know. We should know more come July 8, though, as that's when a countdown clock on the series' website expires.

I have a technical background, so the issue is a matter of convenience more than a limiting problem.
- I have tried disabling all plugins and the problem persists.

Any other thoughts/suggestions?

I noticed and error message in W3TC said my wp-contents sub was set wrong at 777. Check and it was 777 so I changed it to 755 as suggested.
W3TC overwrote my htaccess file with stuff that took my site down with a 500 error. The only way to fix it was to restore the htaccess file.
This happens everytime I touch W3TC. The first time last fall I had to get the HostGator to restore the site - they told me how to do it myself - just delete the W3TC code.
Why is that?

Where should I call
NewRelic.Api.Agent.NewRelic.IgnoreApdex() or
NewRelic.Api.Agent.NewRelic.IgnoreTransaction() in my SignalR hubs to prevent long-running persistent connections from overshadowing my application monitoring logs?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Where should I call
Oooh, great question and one I hadn't thought about yet myself. I think what you would have to do is write a custom module, since modules execute before all handlers, that detect that the SignalR AspNetHandler handler is the one being requested and, if so, call the NewRelic IgnoreXXX methods at that point.
Just spitballing (e.g. I haven't tested this) that module might look something like this:
Then (obviously?) you need to register that module in config like so...
IIS Integrated mode:
IIS Classic mode:
As warned by @dfowler in the comments, SignalR has since changed its approach to hosting and instead now relies on Owin based hosting instead. This is great because it decouples SignalR directly from ASP.NET/IIS, but that means the above approach obviously won't work anymore. Instead what you would need to do is to make sure to configure the Owin pipeline with a module like the sample one below (available here in a gist as well) to disable tracing for the pipeline:
And then, in your Startup::Configuration method just make sure you add this module to the
Finally, it should be noted that, right now this takes a very simplistic approach that assumes you're not going to have any other Owin requests in your application scope. If you're mixing SignalR into another web app that has other Owin requests this particular module implementation would cause those to be ignored as well, so a more advanced module that maybe checks that the incoming request is actually targeting a SignalR URL would be required. For now, I leave that up to the reader to figure out.
To continue with Micah's answer, here is the custom instrumentation file for ignoring all signalr calls.
Create it to C:\ProgramData\New Relic.NET Agent\Extensions\IgnoreSignalR.xml
Remember to do iisreset.
It is possible to ignore a transaction via custom instrumentation as well using the IgnoreTransactionTracerFactory. This is particularly useful when you don't want to add the API to your project or when you want to ignore transactions based on a Framework method that you cannot change.
Your custom instrumentation file would look something like:
If you can find a SignalR framework method that is always called on the request thread (you can only call IgnoreTransaction on the request thread, not on an async thread) you can fill out the assemblyName/className/methodName in the above and it would be the same as calling IgnoreTransaction API inside that method.
This whole issue seems to be caused by the "connect" method on the SignalR controller. I created a hub pipeline module which ignores NewRelic logging by overriding the OnBeforeConnect method.
Somewhere after the maphubs call in your Application_Start() method (global.asax.cs) for your web app, add the following:
Then create this class:
For people using an old version of SignalR here is the xml instrumentation

A lawyer for a Mississippi death row inmate says his client could become the first person executed in
the United States based on a tie vote of judges, if the execution occurs Tuesday as scheduled.
Jan Michael Brawner is scheduled to die by injection Tuesday at 6 p.m. for the 2001 shooting deaths of his 3-year-old daughter, his ex-wife and her parents.
The Mississippi Supreme Court voted 4-4 last week to deny a rehearing in the case.
In court procedures, a tie vote usually means an earlier ruling stands.
Brawner's lawyer, David Calder, argued Monday in a court filing that the court action was a new decision, not the upholding of a lower court ruling.
Calder also says court precedent in Mississippi
dictates that tie votes favor inmates in death penalty cases.

An Extended Small Signal Parameter Loudspeaker Model for the Linear Array Transducer
The Linear Array Transducer (LAT) is a tubular form-factor loudspeaker driver technology which, to a good first approximation, can be modeled by the standard linear time invariant small signal parameter (SSP) loudspeaker circuit model. However, to understand the behavior of a LAT to a greater level of detail, the SSP model can be extended with the addition of four additional parameters. The nature of these additional parameters in the model are explained. Additionally, the model is correlated to measurements of currently available LATs. Finally, it is shown how the LAT extended SSP model is approximated by the standard loudspeaker SSP model.

Most proud residents OF THE Mahoning Valley don't need a respected national publication to tell them that our community shines with stellar qualities for raising a family. In fact, Forbes magazine's ranking this month of the Youngstown- Warren-Boardman area fifth among the nation's 100 largest metro areas in that category comes as no great surprise.
Truth be told, we rarely put much stock in such listings as many of them perpetuate outdated, false and downright seedy perceptions of the Greater Youngstown area. Forbes' seemingly contradictory ranking of Youngstown as among the most miserable cities on the planet last year quickly comes to mind.
Nonetheless, we thank the editors of Forbes for enlightening the world on the Valley's outstanding attributes for raising a family enjoyably and successfully. It serves as one small sign that as the economy and quality of life in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties improve, the region's public image to the world is gaining a flattering and much-needed makeover.
Forbes said it produced this ranking — the Raleigh, N.C., metro area ranks No. 1 on it — by analyzing seven factors: median household income, cost of living, housing affordability, commuting delays, crime rates, school quality and percentage of residents who own their home.
Clearly, our metro area does not fare well in some of those categories. Our median income — $40,000 for the Valley in general and $24,000 for Youngstown in particular — rank far below the national average of $51,000. Those figures, however, are largely offset by the low cost of living here. The Council for Community and Economic Research has ranked Youngstown-Warren the ninth most affordable community out of 308 in the nation and No. 1 in Ohio.
In raising a family and pursuing the American Dream, few indicators weigh as heavily as the ability to purchase a home. CNN Money has ranked Youngstown as the second-most-affordable area nationally for housing.
Raising a family well also requires strong public schools. In most school districts in the Valley, Forbes rightly recognized that teachers and administrators serve students and communities superlatively. But just don't take Forbes' word for it. Take a glance at the listing of the best public high schools in the United States, published just last week by U.S. News & World Report. Of the 750-plus public secondary schools in Ohio, three high schools in the Valley — Columbiana, Hubbard and Poland Seminary — all rank in the coveted top 100.
To be sure, however, not all schools in the Valley come anywhere close to reaching those lofty standards. Youngstown City Schools, for example, remain an abysmal example of fiscally and academically challenged districts in the nation. Above-average crime rates in Youngstown and neighborhood blight in many Valley communities continue to cheapen the quality of life and the ability to successfully raise a family.
Yet even in the city proper, signs of improvement are emerging. Slow but steady gains in the school district, visible declines in violent crime (compare the two homicides in Youngstown so far in 2014 with the 21 slayings through the first four months of 1994) plus energized initiatives to fight blight and revitalize neighborhoods have gained steam. Witness such efforts in revitalizing the Smoky Hollow, Idora Park and Garden District neighborhoods in the city.
And even though Youngstown today accounts for only 10 percent of our metro area's population, it remains its hub and the nameplate for the region. For better or worse, the image of Boardman, Howland, Lisbon and other Valley towns is inextricably linked to that of Youngstown.
That's why as we thank Forbes for its compliment to the Valley, we also must work vigorously to maintain and improve that ranking — particularly by aggressively addressing the ongoing challenges within Youngstown that too often cast shadows on our entire region's overall positive reflection.
If this valley so great ? Why then is it that the young people are moving away faster then ever. Let's face it , these article are nothing but liberal trash put out to make the people who live here feel good.
I had a son & daughter graduate from YSU & would do it again. They received a great education & today, are very successful
I'm so glad your editorial highlighted this particular ranking of the Youngstown area- fifth in the Nation for raising a family- as a needed antidote to the one that appeared a few weeks ago which put Youngstown near the bottom. I read the parameters used in that particular survey and they were highly subjective and under individual control- smoking rate, obesity rate, number of miles jogged per week per resident, alcohol consumed per capita, number of vegans compared to meat eaters, things like that. Not surprisingly Y-town fared badly next to places like Frisco (no 3)- the anorexic Capital of America- and Provo, Utah (no. 1)- controlled by Mormons- most restrictive liqueur laws in the country- not known for their hedonistic life style where all they think about is running in the morning and servicing and punishing their multiple wives at night (just a joke! they don't do that anymore- or do they? I know they would like to. Part of their tradition- similar to Islamic's in that respect.)
The Forbes Survey- rated communities on infra-structure basics- especially- ESPECIALLY Affordable Housing- that's the key in starting and raising a family along with good schools- and we rank near the top in those areas. I ask anyone touting the virtues of places like Frisco and Provo if they thought someone with an average income could afford to buy a house in either of those places- they couldn't- even upper echelon types like soft ware engineers, newspaper editors, and self-employed handymen might have a problem buying real estate in either of those towns- they might be condemned to a life time of living in furnished rooms and apartments or a house trailer out in the desert- not fit places to raise a family- even when the Climate is Wonderful (can't eat scenery). But in this area, it's relatively easy for a young couple with an average income to find a house in which to raise a family- and that's the most important thing of all: Affordable Housing. I'm so glad you chose to highlight this fact.

Wacom Pen Nib a bit short? Might not be the nib...I've noticed recently that on heavily-used Wacom pens, especially those owned by a complete klutz such as myself, have a tendency to eventually get really short nibs. So short that it can only detect pressure when held completely perpendicular to the screen. At first you think, "Oh, wow I need to change the nib, that is seriously worn down, geez!" And when you change it out for a fresh one, it's JUST as short as before....Wacom Pen Nib a bit short? Might not be the nib... by fox-orian

I took advantage of the cool but beautiful Spring day and did this yesterday:
That's about 40×40. Good deep churn to about 10″ depth. The soil conditions were just about perfect. Now it's prepped for me to plant things in a couple more weeks (it's still a little too early here for tomatoes and Habaneros). And surprisingly, I don't hurt nearly as much today as I expected.
Back to work on St Cybi's Well. All that time tilling yesterday gave me a chance to think through some things.

From page 261 of Communion of Dreams:
"Who, Darnell? Who was she?"
The old man blinked, focused on Jon. "My sister, Megan. Somehow, she found th' courage t' step up, t' look past th' things that they'd always taught her about science 'n medicine, t' trust a small blue-white light that she could feel grow under her skin whenever she came close t' someone with th' flu. That light would seep out 'n into 'em, givin' 'em strength 'n th' ability t' fight th' virus.
"That was hope. That was real. Some of us were able t' learn t' find th' light ourselves, 'n she showed us how t' allow it t' grow, t' become strong enough t' reach out 'n heal th' others.
Guess what happens in the chapter I am currently writing.
* * *
Hope isn't always real, or realistic. I've seen far too much of life to think otherwise. Likely, you have as well.
But sometimes it is. I picked these today:
That's probably about 250 peppers. Most of them Bhut Jolokia. But a fair number of Carolina Reaper and a few Moruga Scorpion peppers. All three are recent or current "world's hottest pepper" record-holders. And like last year, I'm going to box them up for a few days so that they can become fully ripe. I have not quite as many others I picked earlier and have frozen.
So, what does hope have to do with these?
Well, we had a *very* wet spring and early summer. Enough so that I thought that this year's Habanero crop would be a complete loss. The plants were stunted, sickly, and very late to blossom.
But sometimes late bloomers will surprise you.

Been a busy week. Part of it was putting in my garden:
(That's just the tomato plants — the super-hot peppers will go in next week.)
Part of it was a MASSIVE job converting a 16 x 16 storage space into the beginnings of a workshop:
(There's still lots to do, but man, what a change from being hip-high in grungy boxes and scattered junk!)
And part of it was we have a new addition to the family:

Behold this year's Habanero experiment:
What you're looking at is pureed super-hot Habaneros. With just enough vinegar and salt to preserve them for canning.
OK, the full story …
This morning I made a batch of my Habanero Sriracha sauce. One of my standards. But I decided to do it a little bit differently this year. Rather than use a limited amount of Habaneros in it, and just blend them in, I added a full two gallons of frozen habs to the vinegar & tomato sauce mixture and cooked them until soft. Then I removed all the peppers, setting them aside to cool. There's still plenty of heat and flavor from the habs in the Sriracha (recipe below).
But then I added some more salt and a little apple cider vinegar to the cooked Habaneros, and ran the whole lot through a food processor. And that's in the pic above.
The idea behind this isn't that you'd actually use this stuff directly on food, like you would a hot sauce or some of my Habanero Dust from a spice grinder. Rather, it's intended to be used in very small amounts as the basis for some larger dish or sauce, giving you just concentrated (almost pure) Habanero flavor and heat. I'll put it into 4 ounce jars for a very limited number of insane friends.
Just thought I'd share the idea.
Jim Downey
This year's Sriracha recipe (variation on the theme of recipes you'll find elsewhere):
- 5 quarts homemade tomato sauce
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups dark honey
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 heads of garlic crushed
- .25 cup of Kosher salt
- 3 Tablespoons of Fish Sauce
- Habaneros (mix of super-hot varietals)
Add all ingredients into large pot. Heat to simmer, stirring often. Remove Habaneros. Simmer rest for half an hour or so, then allow to cool.
EDIT NOTE: After trying the Sriracha prior to canning, I decided that it was just plain too hot, so added another couple of quarts of tomato sauce and changed the total above. Everything else still seemed pretty much in balance after. I think the heat level was masking some other problems earlier.

It's Habanero season again!
I noted a few weeks back that I had harvested the first of this year's crop, and that I thought that things looked promising, if the weather held. Well, all together I harvested about 200 fully-ripe peppers, seeding freezing them in small batches, and I'll make some of my Habanero Sriracha with that later. But last Friday we had the first hard freeze of the season, so I picked all the rest of the remaining fruit off the plants. Here's a the pic of that:
Now, since turning whole peppers into hot sauce is the sort of thing which can drive any sane person out of the house, I waited until today to do this year's production. Why? Because my wife is a poll worker, and so is gone all day. Well, here's that exact same box of peppers, which had just been closed up since Friday:
Fun, eh? Welcome to ethylene gas. Yup, the peppers are a LOT more ripe, just from being shut up for a few days. Not as ripe as last year's end-of-season harvest, but not bad at all. And since my version of Sriracha is fairly sweet, I decided to make a less sweet batch of sauce out of the above, since it will tend to accentuate the citric qualities of the not-entirely-ripe peppers. So, here's this year's recipe:
- Approximately 335 peppers, crown removed and cut in half
- Not quite a gallon of natural apple cider vinegar
- 8 tablespoons of Kosher salt
- 3 heads of garlic
- 2 large yellow onions, rough chopped
Prepare all ingredients. Saute onions and garlic until soft. Add vinegar, salt and peppers to 5 gallon stock pot, simmer until soft, stirring often.
Scoop into blender, do a rough blend for 15 – 20 seconds. Then pour into Foley food mill, and crank until just seeds and skins are left. Transfer to jar, can.
Edited to add later: Total of 22.5 half pints. Which works out to about 2 habaneroes per fluid ounce, which is what my standard 'Evil Green' (previously my hottest sauce) runs, except that this has a much higher % of fully or mostly ripe habs.And this is clearly hotter than anything else I've ever made. Pic below – need a good name for it. It's the one on the right, the reddish one is my Sriracha (about the color of tomato sauce) for comparison.

… but *do* have a very healthy respect for it.
The SMOKIN' ED'S CAROLINA REAPER® pepper, that is. Here's a bit about it from Wikipedia:
The Carolina Reaper is a hybrid cultivar of chili pepper of the Capsicum chinense species, originally named the "HP22B", bred by cultivator Ed Currie, who runs PuckerButt Pepper Company in Fort Mill, South Carolina, United States. It's the world's hottest hybrid pepper. The original cross was a red naga pepper and a red savina pepper. [1] The "Carolina Reaper" was rated as the world's hottest chili pepper by Guinness World Records according to 2012 tests,[2] averaging 1,569,300 on the Scoville scale with peak levels of over 2,200,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The previous record-holder was the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T.[3]
There are some included in today's harvest of peppers:
How are they? Oh, baby!
No, seriously, trying one of these peppers is sort of the equivalent of seeing a live, active volcano. Sure, it's insanely hot (I ate the smallest little piece, about the size of an apple seed, and it did the whole 'mouth numb, face flushed, lips melting, nose running' thing). But it's also insanely cool to just experience the thing … if you exercise a little respect for its power.
And they have the same flavor profile as other super-hot Habaneros, which is actually why I like them. It's a deep, smokey, lasting peppery flavor.
I've only harvested about 60 peppers from my plants so far this season. For some people, that would be about 59 too many. But if the weather holds, perhaps I'll have a total harvest along what I've gotten in years past.
Jim Downey
*Of course. And if you would like to order your own fresh super-hot peppers, you can do so from the same place I get my seedlings each year.

This will probably come across as a little brag-y. Sorry about that. Not my intention.
The other day I got a phone call. For Legacy Art. The gallery we closed May 31, 2004. Yeah, more than ten years ago.
And after I got through abusing the telemarketer over this point, I got to thinking about the many changes in the last decade.
First thing I should say up front: I'm at a low point in my bipolar cycle, as I've noted recently. That means that my self-image isn't all that great. This isn't a debilitating depressive episode or anything — I've managed to continue to work steadily, as well as enjoy the usual aspects of life. So not horrid. But it is sometimes difficult to not focus on the things which haven't gone well, and my own failings which are often a component of that. And one of those failings is a sense of not accomplishing much, of being lazy, of wasting my time and the time of others.
Anyway. I got to thinking about the changes in the last decade. And surprisingly, more positive things came to mind than negative ones. That fed on itself, and I found myself making a mental list of the accomplishments.
In no particular order or ranking: wrote two books (one of them as co-author). Most of the way done with another. Visited Wales. And Argentina. And New Zealand. And Italy. Wrote several thousand blog posts. Became something of an authority on small caliber ballistics. Wrote several hundred articles and columns for publication. Was the full-time caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's. Have done conservation work on something more than a thousand (that's just a guess … may be closer to two thousand) books and documents. Made some great hot sauces. Raised, loved, and then said farewell to a great dog. Tried to be a good friend, and husband. Tried to help others when I could.
We all fail. We all have things we've done that haunt us in one way or another. Sometimes, those fears and demons overwhelm. Me, at least.
I may or may not be at a turning point in my bipolar cycle. But I'm glad that at least I can think of things I have accomplished. That helps.
Back to work on St. Cybi's Well.

Mouse He Never Wert
Teen Acrobat Ricky Luna Runs Away from the Circus (with His Parents' Blessing) and Joins Disney's New Mickey Mouse Club, Finding Fame and Fans But, Alas, No Ears
Indeed, at an age when most little boys are still riding their first two-wheelers, Ricky was doing double somersaults on the flying trapeze as the youngest member of the Flying Lunas, a traveling circus act that also featured his father, Mexico City—born Enrique, his mother, Havana-born Rosa, and his older sister, Liliana, now 17. Ricky began doing trampoline and trapeze stunts in the family's Sarasota, Fla., backyard when he was 7 and joined the act two years later.
Though Enrique and Liliana still tour with the West Coast—based Betty Reed Circus, Ricky set his sights on bigger things back in 1989. That April, Disney introduced its updated, infinitely hipper version of the venerable children's variety show that ran on ABC from 1955 to 1959. Ricky was hooked from the start. "All the time, he'd dance and perform in front of the TV, watching Mickey Mouse Club," says his mother. "He wanted to be part of the show."
Five months later, Ricky dragged Rosa and Enrique to an open casting call in Miami. He was one of 35,000 youngsters who auditioned during a yearlong talent search and one of the lucky nine who made the grade. "When we saw Ricky, we immediately knew," says Lynne Symons, the show's programming executive. "His strongest appeal is that he looks like some guy a girl might have a crush on in school."
Luna joined the 10-boy, 9-girl cast in November and kissed the circus goodbye. His mother quit, too, and moved with Ricky and his little brother, Rolando, 4, into a two-bedroom house in Orlando, not far from MMC's set at Disney-MGM studios. The three live there during the demanding April through October taping schedule. Ricky and the rest of the cast work Tuesday through Saturday, 9 A.M. to 6:30 P.M. with only a half-hour break for lunch. During the school year the cast is tutored in the mornings and given acting, singing and dance lessons between tapings, much like the Mouseketeers of yesteryear.
November through March, when the show is on hiatus, Ricky, Rosa and Rolando reunite with Enrique and Liliana at the family's three-bedroom house in Sarasota. While there, Ricky attends ninth-grade classes at Riverview High School and catches up with his old circus pals. "They all come down and rehearse for the next season," he says, "and we just hang around, or we go out and catch a movie or play basketball."
Once off the soundstage—where, says Symons, "you can tell how terrific he is just from the audience reaction when we're taping"—America's Sexiest Mouseketeer has no steady girlfriend. "If there's anybody out there," he says, "she can write me and tell me if she thinks I'm good for her."
She probably already has. Luna, who personally answers many of the fan letters he gets each week, takes his fame in clubhouse stride. "Everything's so much fun," he says. "We always have a great audience. It's pumping. It's cool." Even off- camera. The cast, which ranges in age from 12 to 17, is remarkably close-knit. "We hang out together, we go to movies together," he says. "There's always something going on. I'm never bored."
Though he sings and dances as a Mouseketeer, the closest that Ricky has come to using his acrobatic skills on the show has been doing back flips during musical numbers and playing a kung fu master who parodies kick-boxing movies by kicking boxes. Still, he says, he keeps tumbling "for exercise, for fun and to help my family when they're rehearsing."
But he sees his own future in acting. "I'd like to go to UCLA and study drama," he says. "Because this is my first professional job, I want to take it easy. Once I feel I'm prepared for the movies, I'll start auditioning for them." His idols, he says, are Michael Jackson, Anthony Hopkins and Jack Nicholson. Nothing Mickey Mouse about those guys.

Purdue Boilermakers
The Purdue Boilermakers are a mid-level team in the Big Ten conference (basketball used to suck and is now really good - complete with preseason hype). Purdue University is located in West Lafayette, IN.
Things you will find in West Lafayette
- Engineering students
- Cornfields
Things you will not find in West Lafayette
- Alcohol sold on Sundays
2/24/2010 - Never Forget
- Under coach Gene Keady, had the coolest name for a student section--The Gene Pool.
- Current coach Matt Painter appreciates a good can of hair gel.
- Huge fans of Kelvin Sampson.
- John Wooden played his college ball here.
Notable Players
Known as "the cradle of quarterbacks," the team has seen many notable and not-so-notable players such as Len Dawson, Bob Griese, Jim Everett, Drew Brees, and Neckbeard.
Other notable players are Rod Woodson and Mike Alstott.
Recent Coaches
Jim Coletto
The real reason Brian Griese went to Michigan. Coletto's personal motto was "Why risk it, go for the tie."
Joe Tiller
Nine bowl appearances in the last ten seasons with a record of 4-5. Forgot to recruit a defense during the 2005 and 2006 seasons.
Danny Hope

d) Random apologist/self-loathing Michigan fan comment about tOSU "dominance" over the past decade while ignoring all shenanigans (Tressell, money, weed) and going on about Meyer's recruiting.

Much speculation on the Ohio State side...disquieting. Sad he didn't come to Michigan maybe things would have been different.

|I don't know if it's above that...
But I have a sort of assured confidence that this thing will turn around and particularly so under Harbaugh. I mean, it basically took the guy 6 games with a Brady Hoke roster and a transfer QB to right the ship (and lose in the absolute worst way possible in all of our lives).
I think we're above all that because, as Michigan fans, we've all lived dominance and expect it to return (yes, it probably is our birthright...too bad haters). That said, there is a reasl variance between Michigan slappies and Sparty slappies. Sparty slappies are the worst, most myopic, short sighted, football began in 2007, Coach D nut hugging, Harbaugh success denying donkeys on the planet. Michigan slappies are just overly hopeful and delusionally positive (see Hoke era).

|This is not really a viable line of argument
Based on what you're arguing, prior generations could not be considered in the discussion of greatest female athlete...so what's the cut line then? 70's, 80's? As well, if this is the case, then do Billie Jean King's wins get more weight as she pioneered the business of women's sports on tv, competed against males (though maybe staged a bit vs. Riggs), dealt with significantly more opposition to her athletic achievements (and sexuality).
Bottom line, of course you can include previous generations in any discussion of greatness. Much like baseball, football etc. you can only compete against your era and then discuss/debate that dominance as fans. People still talk about Koufax, Seaver, Rose etc. in baseball because they were so great in their time. Similarly, Jim Brown and Barry Sanders vs. their era similarly great. Gretzky in hockey dominated his era (essentially reshaped the game and how it was defended) in a way that had not been seen before or since.
Babe Zaharias, against her era was ridiculously dominant in a way that had not really been seen in women's sports. Where it becomes more interesting is that she was great in a wide array of different disciplines and competed at the highest levels in all of them. Williams is great at tennis in her era but not close to the kind of dominance era vs. era that Zaharias had across disciplines.
Greatness isn't only about the now.

How much in endorsements in Toronto for Stamkos? Huge.
If your argument was legit on money then the Blue Jays and Raptors couldn't retain their players which has not been an issue.
Can we bet a few tailgate beers on this? I have Canadian craft beer on offer here.
FWIW, I think Stamkos re-signs after kicking the tires.
|4 weeks 5 days ago
|I'll leave it here and answer your query clearly.
As to how Toronto will move from brutal to good:
Hire quality front office (check)
Hire Detroit's coach (check)
Tank (check)
Get exceptional prospects (check) keep solid core
Matthews/Marner/Nylander/Kapanen all top prospects to Hockey News etc.
VanReimsdyk, Reilly, Kadri, Gardiner all solid
Trade for Kerby Rychel today (not bad)
Get goalie that is not constantly injured so AHL goalie or Bernier is not starting (check). Average okay. (check)
Finally, you seem to forget this was a team that was purposively tanking since December to get Matthews or a top 3 pick. Clearly. Your analysis of the stats on the Leafs is pretty myopic when that is accounted. You can give me the prospects argument and I'll counter with LA, Chicago, Tampa in the past decade.
They will be young next year but not terrible; definitely on the rise.
I hope that's plain enough.
If I'm wrong in a year I'll own it.
|4 weeks 5 days ago
That Nani dive was the worst.
Dislike the diving on both sides.
|4 weeks 5 days ago
You forget Reimer spent the last several years dealing with post concussion syndrome and his save percentage pre/post was markedly different. Not the same player, frequently injured due to this, and the Leafs could not stay with Bernier/Sparks. Again, too scary.
Andersen, looking at the advanced stats as opposed to save percentage, is almost completely average over 125 games but I'd take that over what the Leafs had (Bernier/Reimer/Sparks) in the past years. Too scary to stay with that. Assuming the cap remains stable or rises slightly then $5 mil per for stable middle of the pack/avg. goaltending is a step up for the Leafs and reasonable.
FWIW, Bernier's advanced stats don't simply reflect his defence in front of him but diminishment in his play. The Leafs would never have made the Reimer/Andersen moves otherwise given the relative cost.
|4 weeks 6 days ago
Last time I went to a Tampa game for the Leafs (easier to get top end seats than Toronto) it was tons of Leaf fans (snowbirds mostly and a bunch of people who flew in) and I got awesome seats, free cokes and hot dogs! Good times.
|4 weeks 6 days ago
|My point is the same
I can get tickets to any game in Detroit easy.
I attended games at the Joe in the 80's Reed Larson era also. It was even easier then but the same concept applies.
It's a front runner fanbase. I guess that happens when you make the playoffs all the time.
We'll see how things go with the Leafs. Remind me in a year if I'm wrong.

|Michigan Wolverines Football...
...stealing prospects from my Temple Owls.
|4 weeks 6 days ago
|A bit of clarification?
a) All NHL contracts are paid in American dollars (which hurts Canadian teams, of course, when the dollar is 80 cents or so). Money a non issue except the Toronto endorsements.
b) The glare of the media, like Montreal, is much greater in Toronto because hockey matters there. The Leafs have a hockey show on TSN every day at lunch 12 months a year. It is true you require the right character to fit that. Stamkos has been under a spotlight since he was a kid and then in Sarnia though. He's from Toronto and would, like Kadri, get it.
c) If you are really considering that Blashill is the equal of the Hall of Fame coach Mike Babcock because of one season...same Babcock that coached your last cup...then /smh
d) Wings do have some nice young talent but it's either a wash or leaning Toronto (I mean, come on, Matthews/Marner).
FWIW, I think Stamkos re-signs in Tampa after kicking the tires everywhere.
|4 weeks 6 days ago
|"you traded your best goalie"
You speak of the Leafs evidently Vezina quality netminders of last year...(throws up hands)
I like Reimer as a person and his loyalty to the organization/support of the fans is laudable. He more than most deserved the cup with San Jose. Post injury just not the same netminder as a few years ago. Unfortunate. Bernier just never translated from LA to the Leafs. Similarly unfortunate.
Andersson is a significant upgrade.
|4 weeks 6 days ago
|Here's the thing.
Wings have had so much success and yet, there I was last year, sitting up front for an original 6 opponent. Bought my tickets day of game and without issue.
Great teams but the support is front runner. #truth
Leafs been bad since '93 but the support remains. I wonder how you'll frame it when the Leafs are winning?

Bali, Sandstone statues
At the beginning of time, only Antaboga the world snake existed. Antaboga meditated and created the world turtle Bedwang. Two snakes lie on top of the world turtle, as does the Black Stone, which forms the lid of the underworld. The underworld is ruled by the goddess Setesuyara and the god Batara Kala, who created light and the earth. Above the earth lies a series of skies. Semara, god of love, lives in the floating sky, and above the sky lies the dark blue sky (space), home to the sun and moon. Next is the perfumed sky, which is full of beautiful flowers and is inhabited by Tjak, a bird with a human face; the serpent Taksaka; and a group of snakes collectively known as the Awan, who appear as falling stars. The ancestors live in a flame-filled heaven above the perfumed heaven, and finally beyond that is the abode of the gods.

Bali, Tanah Lot Temple
Tanah Lot means "Land in the Middle of the sea" in Balinese language. Located about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a huge offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.
Tanah Lot is said to be the work of the 15th century priest Nirartha. The story goes that during his travels along the south coast he saw the rock-island's beautiful setting and rested there. Some fishermen saw him, and bought him gifts. Nirartha then spent the night on the little island. Later he spoke to the fishermen and told them to build a shrine on the rock for he felt it to be a holy place to worship the Balinese sea gods.
At the base of the rocky island, poisonous sea snakes are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. There is said to be one giant snake which also protects the temple. It is believed that this snake was created from Nirartha's scarf when he established the island.

Bali, Agung volcano
After more than 100 years of slumber, Mt. Agung came back to life on February 18, 1963. Loud noises and a cloud rising from the crater were noticed, then the ejection of bombs and blocks.
On February 24, 1963, highly viscous lava flows began to travel down the northern flank of the volcano, reaching a length of 7 km in about 18 to 20 days and an elevation of 510 m above sea level. The flows were about 0.5-0.8 km wide and 30-40 m thick. Rough estimates indicate a total volume of these flows of about 50 million cubic meters

Bali, The Nirwana Resort and Spa
The Nirwana Resort and Spa is located in Candidasa and about 60 km from Bali's capital city, Denpasar. Its prime ocean front position gives a stunning view of the Indian Ocean. While enjoying a few sessions in the swimming pool or tasting our chefs special at the very own "Nirwana Sunset Restaurant", guests can enjoy romantic view of the sunset sinking into the Indian Ocean in the South. This memorable moment certainly will be too good to miss out.
Situated in East Bali, a quieter part of the island, the newly renovated The Nirwana Resort and Spa is beyond doubt the place for anyone seeking tranquility and natural beauty

Arts James Turrell at the Seattle Art Museum
On a sneak-peek walkthrough of the new Seattle Art Museum downtown yesterday afternoon, the curator Chiyo Ishikawa was ticking off which art would go where: abstract expressionism here, minimalism here, pop here, Northwest School here, and the James Turrell room over there.
Stopwhat? What James Turrell room?
Oh, the one from our collection that we've never been able to show, even though we've owned it for something like 20 years, she said.
Ishikawa isn't familiar with the specs that drive this particular piece, but in general Turrell creates dramatic environments shaped by light (remember the Henry show a few years ago?). Later last night, I ran into Beth Sellars, curator of Suyama Space (having an opening Sept. 15, by the way), who said she suspects the mystery piece was a part of the Center for Contemporary Art's first-ever show back in the early '80s, and that it came to SAM after that.
When the museum opens in the spring, SAM's Turrell room will have its own specially built enclosed space (I believe on the third floor). It will stay up for what Ishikawa described as a long time, but not permanently.
With all that space SAM is extending into over the next decade, I hope eventually it will go on permanent display, providing it's good. If the CoCA tale is correct, the piece would have the city's history recommending it in addition to Turrell's importance. To give you the general gist of a Turrell room, here's one at the Yorkshire museum that resembles what was at the Henry.
More news to come: On another one of the light and space artists in Seattle.
