LAKE TAHOE — The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's Regional Plan Update took a step forward on Wednesday when the governing board affirmed recommendations to incorporate a package of revisions into a final plan.
Part of the package includes recommendations from a bi-state consultation group. Those recommendations took stakeholder input into account to address four major issues of discussion: delegation of authorities and the establishment of an appeals process; water quality; air quality; and land coverage questions.
"We recognize that no one got everything they wanted in the stakeholder process but all parties feel they were heard and that we're moving closer to consensus than we ever have in the history of Regional Plan Update process," said Clement Shute, Jr., chair of the RPU Committee and a member of the bi-state consultation group, in a TRPA press release.
In March, the Regional Plan Update Committee concluded six months of meetings, vetting policies before the environmental analysis was completed in April. A short list of issues remained that did not receive unanimous endorsement from the six- member committee, according to TRPA. Those more controversial issues — including environmental permitting safeguards, community character, numbers of building allocations and land coverage policies — were then taken up by the bi-state consultation group.
"I think what was so amazing was that in this small group of stakeholders there was a large sense that if compromise couldn't be achieved here, it couldn't be achieved anywhere, and it really put our feet to the fire," said Claire Fortier, member of the Regional Plan Update Committee, the bi-state consultation group and the mayor of South Lake Tahoe, in the press release. "The process helped create more trust between the environmental community and local governments and created a base for ongoing conversations that have stymied progress in Tahoe for decades."
The packet of recommendations moved forward Wednesday includes nine additional revisions to the Regional Plan and/or Code in response to public comments. Those revisions and the recommendations by the bi-state consultation group can be found online at trpa.org.
The Governing Board is slated to take final action on the Regional Plan Update in December.

on July 13, 2013 - 7:42 PM
It was written here at the start of this year's always A-list schedule of country concerts at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center that Tim McGraw is "keeper of the modern country throne," but Brad Paisley made a convincing case for the crown Friday night before a reported crowd of 15,000 fans.
While McGraw's calling card is his sturdy voice and Adonis looks, in terms of ability to entertain, he pales in comparison to Paisley, the somewhat lesser singer but world-class guitar slinger who proved far more fun and flashy with his "Beat This Summer Tour," which included support from opening acts Chris Young, Lee Brice and the Henningsens, a bill so full that the show began earlier than announced.
Multigenerational Illinois family farmers-turned-bandmates, the Henningsens happily had a crowd in the thousands despite starting 10 minutes before the ticketed showtime, impressing with their instinctive harmonies in a 20-minute set backed by a pop-production band and punctuated by their breakout hit "American Beautiful."
The South Carolinian Brice displayed a decent voice but more interest in shouting than singing in his half-hour set backed by a five-piece band. He opened with two songs in which the only substance is that which is being consumed in "Parking Lot Party" and "Beer," while offering a heavy hit in the ballad "I Drive Your Truck." That tune was inspired by co-songwriter Connie Harrington, who heard a story on public radio about a father of a fallen soldier driving his son's truck to feel close to him.
Former Nashville Star winner and Music City native Chris Young followed with a 50-minute set that showed his country-clean voice capable of commanding both old-school songs, such as hits "Gettin' You Home" and "Voices," with the new-school party schlock that's more tailgate than two-step in "A.M." and "Aw Naw." He goaded the crowd to shout for his namedropping of Conway Twitty in "I Can Take It from There" before taking it in a different direction in closing with a corny call to "Save Water, Drink Beer."
Speaking of corny, Paisley may have cornered that country market as a co-songwriter of nearly all of his recordings. He gets away with it first by being irreverent, at times allowing himself to be the punchline while grinning through clever spins in his lyrics and demanding to be taken seriously by virtue of the kind of Fender telecaster picking that could go toe-to-toe with the titans of the trade. The 40-year-old West Virginia native presents himself as a rural son who's become one with city life while sticking true to his roots, able to adapt to and poke fun at both.
Backed by his longtime band of Drama Kings (Gary Hooker, rhythm guitar; Randle Currie, steel guitar; Kendal Marcy, keyboards, banjo, mandolin; Justin Williamson, fiddle, mandolin; Kenny Lewis, bass; and Ben Sesar, drums), Paisley opened by working the entirety of a three-sided catwalk as an onstage screen displayed a laser-light show of world-renowned skylines and backing screen offered a virtual choir to the tune of "Southern Comfort Zone." The country clichés continued with "Mud on the Tires," Paisley picking and bending blazing notes with incredible command. He paused during the high-energy hustle of "The Mona Lisa" to ask the men in the crowd to make some noise if they were with the most beautiful woman in the world, and after their obvious howls, he said, "You can't all be right, y'know – but any man who didn't just cheer is an idiot."
Further coming off as an everyday guy, Paisley praised the setting of outdoor summer concerts for his style of country music before the melting-pot projecting sing-along of "American Saturday Night." Then he brought out Brice and Young for the redneck smirk of "Outstanding in Our Field" – which may be corny but is definitely a clever pun for knowing how to party in the middle of nowhere.
"Celebrity" hilariously mocked the subject of its title and all celebrity earns, with a video that included a mascot-like giant-headed Paisley character and YouTube stars from Psy to the sounds of shouting goats. Paisley gave the band a break except for the accompaniment of Marcy on piano as he picked the perfect wedding first dance song in "Then," before bringing the band back for the guitar-driven power ballad "Everything."
The fiery instrumental "Time Warp" whipped into a cover of Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher," which Paisley owned on guitar a la Eddie – though his homey voice lacks the reckless abandon of Diamond Dave.
A late-set switch to a small stage at the soundboard in the center of the crowd was a big hit, with the solo "Waitin' on a Woman" giving way to a bluegrass picker with three bandmates in another nod to modern times "Online."
Closing with "Water" and an encore of "Ticks" and "Alcohol," Paisley placed his signature cowboy hat on a young girl in the front row – his last of countless encounters with the crowd – and thanked the crowd yet again before giving one last solo and stepping off the stage in triumph, a legend in his prime.

How do you explain open source in education?
An elevator pitch for open source
Every year I attend the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference as an exhibitor. This year's conference was busier than any I've ever been to. So many people had either heard of us (ByWater Solutions) or Koha or just about open source in general. One librarian though approached our booth with caution. She informed me that she was told to come see what we were about by a manager but that she was very nervous. What she actually said was, "Open source scares me."
First off, I was really proud of her honesty. Most people who are scared come to us defensive, but not this woman. I sat her down and asked her why she was scared. She shared stories with me of her past experiences with open source software, software that didn't quite do what she wanted. Once I knew where she was coming from I could ease her fears.
I started by defining open source in the simplest of terms: that open source software is just software with a different development style and license. That open source software comes with extra freedoms that proprietary software does not. I told her that not all open source software is created equal; in fact not all software in general is created equal. I brought in examples of proprietary software that has let us all down and wrapped up my elevator pitch with a simple comment, "You're not afraid of open source software, you're afraid of all software, and that's okay. Let me show you how Koha is better than what you're using and how there is nothing to be afraid of."
When the woman left our booth she was much calmer and actually seemed quite excited to get a chance to use Koha. And who knows, maybe I even convinced her to try other open source software.
What's your elevator pitch for open source?
4 Comments
Thanks for sharing this glimpse into exhibitor duty and how you handled this skeptical librarian.
That's how it's done—one person at a time. Nice work, Nicole!
I posted my favorite open source pitch last summer.
My "elevator pitch" usually involves suggesting a particular open source program that could fill a user's need or replace what they are using now. I don't pitch "open source" per se, I pitch programs that happen to be open source. I frequently run into people who are still using the shareware file archiver, ftp client, etc., that they were first introduced to years ago, when they needed a piece of software to fill their needs. The vast majority of the time, they have never bothered to register the shareware and just put up with the nag screens. By suggesting that they use 7-Zip or FileZilla (to give two examples) instead, I can provide them with software that doesn't nag them to register/purchase, while usually doing the exact same thing as the program being replaced. I get to talk to them a little about the benefits of open source without getting overly technical or overly philosophical. The user gets a program that they can use, which doesn't nag them to register, and they learn a little about the open source way. It is baby steps really, but most of the people I'm working are end users with rather basic needs. I'm not in the position right now to try to sell Moodle vs. Blackboard, or Koha (or Evergreen) vs. one of the closed source ILS options.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - The Tyrone girls basketball team's district playoff experience this year is quite different than the past two seasons.
As a Class AAA team in 2011 and 2012, the Lady Eagles wrapped up the regular season and went right to the district championship game, where they lost to Hollidaysburg both times.
The move to Class AA this season means Tyrone has to win three games just to reach the district finals. The Lady Eagles got the first one Monday, defeating Mountain League foe Philipsburg-Osceola, 71-46, at the Hollidaysburg Junior High School gym.

Tyrone's Alexis Brooks battles two Philipsburg-Osceola defenders for a rebound.
"There's definitely a lot of hard competition to make the finals," Tyrone junior Jordyn Swogger said. "As we move on, we'll keep facing facing better teams. We have to be ready to play."
Sixth-seeded Tyrone came out ready to play against Philipsburg and took full advantage of 14 P-O turnovers to build a 24-point first half lead.
Tyrone jumped out to a 17-4 lead then ripped off 14 points in the middle part of the second quarter for a 34-10 advantage.
"Starting the game, we tried to tell them to come out strong and be ready to play," Philipsburg coach Doug Myers said. "When you have a point guard who's a freshman and two sophomores, it's tough for them to calm down and relax no matter how many times you tell them."
After an Alexis Brooks bucket started the second quarter run, Nicole Gripp knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers. Brooks than sandwiched a pair of hoops around a Swogger layup, on which Brooks assisted.
Gripp finished with a game-high 20 points, 16 of which came in the first half. Four Lady Eagles broke double digits in all.
Swogger scored 17 points, Finnley Christine had 14, and Brooks added 12. Morgan Taylor led Tyrone with eight rebounds.
"I thought we came out pretty well in the first quarter, but then we got a little complacent," Tyrone coach Luke Rhoades said. "Philipsburg was very, very aggressive all 32 minutes. We did not play with the same intensity as the game went one."
Two Lady Mounties scored in double digits. Alyssa Myers and Briana Rusnak each put in 13 points. Rusnak also grabbed eight rebounds. Haylee Hayward finished with eight points, and Abby Showers added seven.
With the win, Tyrone advances to play third-seeded Westmont Hilltop in the quarterfinals Friday at a site and time to be announced.
"AA is definitely very solid. To be the sixth seed with our record [17-6] gives you a good idea how deep AA is," Rhoades said.
Philipsburg's season ends at 10-13. The Lady Mounties doubled last year's win total of five.
"We had two goals at the start of the year. The first was to reach double digits in wins. We accomplished that. The second was get to the playoffs. We accomplished that," Myers said. "I think we gained a lot of respect from the other teams in our league and teams throughout the area."

Sgt. Robert Archey of the Blair County Sheriff's Department presents a lecture on a civilian response to an active shooter to employees Thursday at the Blair County Courthouse in Hollidaysburg.
The incident ends in a vehicle chase and with a police sharpshooter killing Arroyo.
About 50 Blair County Courthouse employees watched video of the 2005 incident on Thursday afternoon as part of a program by the Sheriff's Department's Sgt. Rob Archey and Deputy Holly Garner to train workers to "detect, deter and defeat" violence that is sweeping the nation.
Archey said average citizens can do a lot to address violence, which it seems has reached a crescendo with shootings in a Colorado movie theater, mass murder in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school and bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Blair County Sheriff Mitchell Cooper, a retired deputy police chief from Altoona, said, "I
couldn't imagine somebody on a city street throwing IEDs [improvised explosive devices] at you," which occurred in Boston.
Cooper thought about training courthouse employees to address violence before Newtown and Boston and before shootings in Blair County, a bombing in Cambria County and murders in Huntingdon and Centre counties that were related to courthouse issues.
Cooper said violence nationwide was increasing at courthouses, so he asked Archey, a former Baltimore and Altoona police officer, and Garner to address the subject.
Archey went to training and utilized materials from the Department of Homeland Security and the Pennsylvania State Police in putting together what is being called the Active Shooter Response.
"If you can foresee it happening, it will happen," Archey said as he explained the average American tends to say, "That can't happen here."
Attempts at mass murder are "very, very rare," Archey said. But "you can't get around these situations by denying it can happen."
"Denial kills physically. ... Denial kills psychologically," he said. That last comment was meant for department heads and courthouse employees who don't know how to react when something bad happens and who might experience mental trauma if an employee or the public is injured.
"Detect," he said.
People don't just snap, Archey said. In most cases there are signs that somebody is going downhill.
On a 90 degree day, somebody who walks in the courthouse wearing heavy clothing should raise red flags.
He remembered an investigation he conducted as a police officer in which a 15-year-old girl killed herself with her father's gun. During the investigation, the girl's diary was found and what she did was predictable, Archey said.
The violent do not fear death, but they want to die on their own terms and at the time they set, probably after in some way communicating a grievance. "They want you to feel their pain," Archey said.
If a shooting starts, he told employees to react quickly, to flee if they can, to hide if they can't flee and, if there is no other option, to fight the attacker with whatever is available, such as scissors or a paperweight.
To women who aren't used to physical violence, he said let the "mama bear" inside come out so they can once again see their children and grandchildren.
When law enforcement arrives, he told employees to "remain calm and follow officers' instructions. Raise hands and spread fingers. Keep hands visible at all times."
Archey ended his presentation by showing the aftermath of the Newtown massacre: the tears, the sadness, the lost children.
"Don't let these deaths be in vain. Prepare," Archey advised.
"I thought it was very informative," said Aimee Auerbeck of the Blair County Prothonotary's Office.
Courthouse employee Robin Patton, who had attended a prior presentation, said it is a good program, noting that is the case "any time we can learn to prevent a tragedy."
Cooper said his office is doing a lot to make the courthouse a safe place.
Officers greet visitors at the door and conduct searches. The county has installed a camera system, which Cooper said is working well, and since last week's Boston bombings, the sheriff daily has a roving officer who inspects all of the offices, the outside of the courthouse and the parking garages throughout the day.

A Guest Column in the Tomahawk Leader:
By Cheryl K. Theiler
Fairbanks, Alaska, mid August, the 172nd Stryker Unit, Fort Wainwright was preparing to deploy to Iraq. Johnny's dad and I, his sister, girlfriend and most importantly, his buddies, who came to say good-bye, were all there.
He had the cable disconnected the day before, stored his truck for the year at the Army facilities and stopped his cell phone service. His buddies were inspecting the equipment and supplies strewn all over the living room floor while Johnny was trying to decide how to pack everything in a small assault pack, duffle bag and the large frame backpack with hydration system; Johnny had grabbed the last one at the PX as he heard the Army issues was, well ... Army issue.
Doug picked up the Kevlar helmet and Johnny showed him how an attachment for the night vision goggles stuck out so he has his men put it on their helmets backwards not to be detected by the enemy when around a corner. Johnny asked me to hand him his armored vest and Jason asked him if he was nuts. Well, I did try to lift it over to him but the weight was overwhelming and Doug came to my rescue. I've read that the average warm weather soldier carries 90 pounds of gear. Johnny was already wearing the digitized camo and Schwarzkopf desert boots.
"Gee," Doug said, "we didn't have all this awesome stuff. Hey, how do you work this?" There were assault gloves and the new towels in dull desert green and sand I picked up for him at Fred Meyers. Jason who is in the Reserves had just gotten orders to deploy to Jabuti, Africa, and was taking a lot of ribbing about that. They all were excitedly talking over one another acting like it was Christmas.
Johnny's dad occasionally forced a smile and his sister, girlfriend and I, just looked on while the boys were busy playing with their toys on the floor. There was no tree and the only ornament was the gold Drill Sergeant trophy Johnny earned at Fort Sill.
He is "over there" now and when we hear from him he tells us not to listen to the news and not to worry and that when they do house-to-house searches in Mosul the Iraqis often want to make them tea or feed them.
I, as his mom, am happy for his young soldiers that 38-year-old SFC Kempen stayed in the Army and is there with them despite having already put his 20 years in. He had air assault training in Honduras, graduated top scout from sniper school, is airborne and most recently spent almost four years as a drill sergeant at Fort Sill, Okla. He is very protective of his men and in spite of already seeing combat they recently told him, "Sarge, we feel safe with you."
Their Iraqi interpreter doubles as their barber and the only payment he will take is American candy for his children. The kids are all over the soldiers and sometimes try to crawl up onto the Stryker vehicles and they use shaving cream to get them off. The soldiers give the kids candy and anything they can think of that would make them happy. He tells me they are returning with stuffed animals to a particularly poor area of Mosul where Iraqi families live in mud huts. At times it must seem a little like Christmas for these Iraqi children.
And no, our Christmas won't be the same without Johnny this year, but we are in this together with many other families, and personally, I am proud we have these stand-up men and women doing this job in the name of freedom.

Dr. William Cook splits his workdays between Low Country Internal Medicine, where some patients have been with him for more than 20 years, and the Sleep Lab in Summerville Medical Center. He is board-certified in both areas as well as in pulmonary medicine, the treatment of lung and breathing disorders. "I just enjoy practicing medicine, and I'm doing the things that I really like to do," says Dr. Cook. "I like to talk with people and figure out what's wrong with them and how I can make them feel better." At the Summerville Medical Center Sleep Lab, he treats many adults and children with sleep apnea, which means breathing is shallow or frequently disrupted during sleep. In many cases, sleep apnea can be relieved by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.

JERSEY SHORE - Other than moving forward with a plan proposed Monday night to save its educational programs from the chopping block, the Jersey Shore Area School Board said it has no other options.
The two-year plan would move fourth- and fifth-grade students to the middle school and eighth-grade students to the high school in the 2013-14 school year. Then, for the 2014-15 school year, all elementary schools would close except for the Jersey Shore Elementary School.
Superintendent Richard Emery told school board members during the administration's presentation that he believed this was the best option to "maintain, preserve and enhance," its programs.
Dr. Dorothy Chappel, assistant superintendent, said the administration "whole-heartedly" recommended the plan to the board.
"The choice is we need to do something or start cutting programs," Emery said Tuesday.
The administration said during Monday's meeting that, like many school districts, it is experiencing the challenge of increasing costs without an increase in state and federal funding.
After a decrease in health care costs of about $30,000 in the 2008-09 school year, the district has been hit with increases that have totaled $1,100,612 since then. Retirement also has seen a significant increase, according to the presentation, as the district's rate has jumped nearly 4 percent from 2012 to 2013. The rate will continue to increase from its 12.36 percent, reaching 30.14 percent in 2019.
And although the state's share also will increase, the district's total cost for retirement will amount to just under $2.5 million in 2019 - the cost is $887,812 in 2013.
A reduced accountability block grant and an elimination of a state subsidy for charter schools, also have played a role in the district's current financial situation.
Emery said the district already has made "major" cuts to its operations.
To help combat these rising costs, Emery said the district has eliminated 61 full-time, benefit eligible positions since 2004. The district also cut professional development, reduced field trips and extra-curricular activities, and implemented a "pay to play" program for athletics.
And when looking at current enrollment and future projections, Emery said a one-campus concept is the "best way to use (the district's) resources."
"When you look at the building capacity and enrollment, there's not a need for all six buildings," he said.
The construction project to Jersey Shore Elementary will increase the building's capacity by at least 225.
Emery also cited current state Department of Education projections. Starting in next year, the district is expected to lose enrollment.
With lower enrollment and more building capacity, Emery said there no longer is a need for all of its buildings.
The plan also would allow the district to "equalize" its classrooms without moving students to different buildings each year.
The school board is expected to vote on the proposal at its Jan. 28 meeting.
And if it passes, the biggest obstacle for the district is to have the public buy in, Emery said.
"It's change. It's different. It's not what parents are used to and that's one of the biggest hurdles," Emery said. "Our goal is to provide as much information to our students (as possible). As I said last night, it's not as if anyone wants to close any schools. It's not a fun process and it creates a ton more work."

5 Hidden Land Mines of Parenthood That Can Blow Up Your Life
#2. Kids Can and Will Dictate Your Relationships
My oldest son had a friend we'll call "Unfixable Thieving Little Fuckhead." "Thief" for short. My ex-wife was friends with his parents. Every weekend, Thief would come over to play -- and though he was usually a little hyperactive, he was at least manageable. At school, though, he was known for constantly getting into trouble, whereas my kid was kind of the foil to that: good grades, never needed discipline, extremely polite. Then one day, my son came home with a cellphone. Which was odd, because we hadn't bought him a cellphone.
Obviously, he stole it. And like any reasonable parents, we didn't blame Thief for it. Our son made that decision, and he had to deal with the consequences. But little by little, Thief's influence started to show up, until my ex caught him showing our kids how to surf porn on the Internet. And that was it. She drove him back home and had to tell his parents that he was no longer allowed to come over. Since the removal of Thief, we've not had a problem with any of our kids in that capacity.
Though we keep losing our TVs. We haven't figured out why.
But the second she talked to his mom and dad, her relationship with them was over. They don't want to hear another parent tell them that their kid is a massive problem, because it reflects badly on them. And you can't really hang out after that, because it means your kids will end up hanging out as well, which defeats the whole "Stay the fuck away from my children" rule.
I've lost friends, too, but for different reasons. There are people out there who just don't like hanging out with children in the room. They want to talk about adult subjects. They want to make adult jokes. They want to show you the new tattoo they got on their dick, and they just don't feel comfortable whipping it out after that whole "Class X" fiasco. So they don't come over as much, which leads to further whittling as time goes on ... until they eventually just stop showing up at all. Such is human nature. I don't blame any of them for it.
But it happens, and if you're not prepared for it, it will sucker punch you right in the ear. It's why when someone gets married or has kids, they suddenly become friends with other married couples or parents. Their new status separates them from their friends, and they gravitate toward people with similar interests and lifestyles.
"Here's to freaky four-way sex!"
If you're one of millions of people out there who are unfortunate enough to be single parents, kids will absolutely influence your romantic decisions as well. If the person you're dating doesn't get along with your kids, it's going to be up to you to either find a way to make peace or sever the relationship completely, no matter how nice their ass is. It's a hard motherfucker to deal with, but that's the cold reality. I'm currently engaged, but if my kids and my fiancee didn't get along, it would have never made it to that stage. The kids come first, always, and I wouldn't be able to make that commitment until the relationship between them was stable.
And I know that some of you out there are puffing up your chest and saying, all badass, "I date who I want to date. If my kids have a problem with that, tough shit. These are my rules, and they bend to my will. They don't run the house. I do." And you're right. It is your life and your rules. But what I'm saying is that if you don't do something to fix it, and you continue on with the relationship anyway, you're still allowing the kids to dictate the relationship by adding stress to it. It's not just a case of them picking and choosing who you're going to be with. They will, even unintentionally, steer your love life simply by existing.
"It's really far down, huh? Imagine what it would be like if you just accidentally fell out of there."
#1. All Your Plans and Strategies Get Amended or Flat-Out Vetoed
I can't tell you how many times I've seen this happen. You have your first child and plan on taking a few months off before heading back to work. You just need enough time for bonding, as well as finding a good, trustworthy baby sitter. So after a few months, you nail one down and head on back to your job. A month later, you start getting weekly calls from the sitter. She's constantly getting sick, and you know from experience that she's using her fake "sick voice" -- in reality, she's tired of not being able to hang out with her friends, instead having to listen to your asshole kid scream for hours at a time while she wipes shit off of his back. But every time she calls in, you have to do the same at your own job. Your work history is now hinged on the work ethics of a teenage girl. So you look for another month until you find another sitter. One who's old enough to have a menstrual cycle. A month after that, same problem. What the fuck?
"I think I'm just gonna go ahead and take off. Your mom should be home in a few hours."
That's when you realize that baby sitters make jack shit, so it's easy for them to say "Fuck this" and just take the day off. So you up the ante and look for a good child care service -- and then promptly shit your pants when you see how much they're charging, on top of the lengthy background checks and paperwork involved.
In my area of the country, many people have to go on government assistance when they drop down to a single-income household. The dad works full time. The mom is at home, waiting to give birth -- and then still at home after the delivery, recovering with her newborn. And that single income, in many cases, isn't enough to support a full family. So when the mother finally does get back to work, and you take into consideration everything I've just told you, you get this situation:
"Read it word for word. What's the exact law on me shooting her in the face?"
The second she starts working again, the government assistance gets pulled. It seems fine at first, because she's making up for it with an actual income. But then she has to take out money to pay for the sitter. Then she's adding in gas that she wasn't using before at these ridiculous, almost criminal fucking prices. When the sitters disappear and she has to start using a child care service, suddenly she's bringing home so little money, it's actually cheaper to just stay on fucking welfare. This isn't an isolated case. This is a totally common problem, and it's worldwide. If you don't have a six-figure a year income, there's a chance you're going to be dealing with it.
In my case, my ex-wife had to resort to working weekends so that one of us would always be there with the kids. What that meant was that on her days off, I'd be working, and vice versa. We rarely saw each other, because as one of us was walking in the door, the other would be walking out. And that was us being lucky that our respective workplaces were flexible enough to allow modified schedules to accommodate it. Many people don't have that option, so they end up taking the financial equivalent of Ron Jeremy's big, hairy balls softly flopping against their cheeks while they sit with a calculator and try to figure out which bills aren't going to get paid this month.
Dude, you can hide the marks, but you'll never be able to get rid of the smell.
Don't let any of this scare you off from having kids -- being a parent is seriously the best thing that ever happened to me, and I wouldn't take a second of it back for anything in the world. But don't let the parenting books and bubbly family sitcoms paint an unrealistic picture for you. If you go into it educated, you'll be in a far better position to make it work out in your favor. They should be required by law to teach this kind of shit in high school. Dick jokes and all.

Sony Xperia T ReviewSony Xperia T 8
The sealed 1,850mAh battery of the Xperia T is rated for the about average 7 hours of talk time in 3G mode, and 17 days on standby. Music playback will last you 16 hours at the most, and when watching videos you won't get more than 5 hours out of the handset, which is slightly below average for a phone with large LCD screen, which are usually rated for about 6 hours.
The Sony Xperia T doesn't offer groundbreaking features compared to the other flagships out there, but it is a pretty compelling package nonetheless. The sturdy arched design will appeal to many, and the 13MP camera will let you capture those impromptu moments on the fly because of the dedicated shutter key. There are no major gripes with the handset either – it is zippy, with expandable storage and easy to access card slots. The only minor issues are with the screen - its coating reflects too much light outside, which tampers with the view under direct sunlight, and the viewing angles are weak. Our biggest expectations were towards the 13MP sensor, but it doesn't offer much better capture than its predecessor, and the pictures and video quality is about what we find in the other high-end phones of today.
Those flagships in about the same price range are the Xperia T's main competition, too – the Samsung Galaxy S III sports a larger 4.8" HD Super AMOLED display, which is superior to what we find on the Xperia T, and is also thinner and lighter. The HTC One X has a larger screen too, but its unibody design omits a microSD slot. The LG Optimus 4X HD has a brilliant screen, too, and is as compact as the T, but the camera fares worse. Sony's phone, however, won't have much to show against the upcoming Optimus G, which is more powerful, built with premium materials, and also has a 13MP camera like the T.
If you are not a fan of large screens, you can also check out the upcoming iPhone 5 as an alternative, especially if you are somewhat invested in the iTunes ecosystem. Other upcoming threats to the Xperia T are the Windows Phone 8 flagships from Nokia and HTC, which have the same processor, but the Lumia 920 sports a camera with optical stabilization, and the HTC 8X has a dedicated audio amplifier, but its screen is smaller than the one on Sony's finest.
Software version: 7.0.A.1.303
Sony Xperia T Video Review:
- Fast camera with dedicated shutter key
- Sturdy design with very easy card slots access
- Strong and clean loudspeaker
- Helpful Smart App pop-ups
- Bad screen reflectance and viewing angles
- Call quality should be better
- Volume rocker is placed uncomfortably
- LED notification light is too small

Very good hardware once again - but for my personal preference, I don't like Sony's skin. Some may like it, some may not, same with other skins.
And that is why I'd want 5 Nexus devices, vanilla goodness: it probably won't differ much with the present phones.
Sony Xperia Nexus would be Xperia T running stock.
LG Optimus Nexus would be Optimus G running stock.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus II would be Galaxy S III running stock.
Motorola Razr Nexus would be the Razr HD Maxx running stock.
HTC (One?) Nexus would be the One X running stock.
software's always a problem with me. it's also the problem I have with considering Windows Phone, no mass storage and much apps on the Nokia Lumia 920, otherwise it's the best hardware - even surpassing this and the iPhone. but: software really.

I don't like the xperia launcher skin either,that saying somebody could easily use Nova launcher etc on the handset and have a jelly bean stock appearance or any other type
23. Aaron_R96 (Posts: 198; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
Really? I like Sony's skin - in fact, and don't hate for saying this but I prefer it to stock Android! In my opinion it looks really modern and very sharp - whereas TouchWiz and LG's skin (also very TouchWiz-esque) just look tacky (icons) especially in previous generations.
I would love to see the 5 devices with stock Android though, and what Sony pull out of the bag to do this will also be very interesting!
As far as the Xperia T goes, it does feel very premium in the hand and is quick, haven't had the chance to play with the camera but I think it looks gorgeous as opposed to the large slabs that other manufacturer's have been bringing out - kudos to Sony's design team once again! All of this my personal opinion :)
32. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
yeah, no hate for that and I respect that. icons aren't my problem on UI skins since you can mask that with a launcher. the problem is when the skinning goes deep even after the home screen and app drawer. my experience with Sony's UI feels so mechanical, while with TouchWiz it feels like it's exact for the basic consumer (totally not for me). HTC gave me the best experience so far, but their updates are taking too long, even at flagship phones... have tried Motorola and it feels stock-ish at some point and I don't get the whole point of skinning it if it's very minor. I haven't tried LG yet so I wouldn't comment on that one.
UIs appeal to different users, and it would be better if consumers were offered to install or not install the UI.
I heard the Xperia S will be offered a Nexus like program... and that sounds awesome. I will definitely consider it again if it's released.

Nice to read a review of this phone. I think I'm still going to get it. Looking at the cons I think an 8 is a little too harsh and it should have been given an 8.5. I'm biased though as I've been looking forward to this phone for a while.
4. Mercenary (Posts: 61; Member since: 21 Oct 2011)
Waiting for the video review.

5. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Some of the cons are not really considered cons, such as small LED notification light and volume rocker placement,
But the score is quite enough. If I have to place a con for this flagship device, that would be for being used with a dual-core processor. I know I know, it's not all about the number of cores or clockspeed, but as a flagship device, this should be future-proof for up to 2 years. And a quad-core processor would help it run smooth future OSes.
But all in all, an 8 or 9 score for this is good.
56. royyy (Posts: 1; Member since: 10 Oct 2012)
The chipset doesn't have anything to do with the device being future-proof. My Arc has been running ICS since June while Tegra 2-powered phones from the same era like the Atrix and the Optimus 2X are stuck on 2.3.
6. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Nice, the Cons: bad reflectance & viewing angles part can be overlooked but the call quality part is very suspect.
The night shots is very impressive for me though.
7. poddey (Posts: 77; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
Daniel, the T doesn't have Sony's new Exmor RS with the stacked CMOS sensor, at least according to the specs and whitepaper available on the SonyMobile website. Rumour is we will see them in early 2013.
13. Daniel.P (Posts: 105; Member since: 14 Jul 2011)
Thanks, fixed, wishful thinking :)
19. poddey (Posts: 77; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
I've been waiting for it too so I totally get it.
Having seen what Nokia have done with the camera on the Lumia 920, I'm secretly hoping that Sony will develop optical image stabilisation of their own. Imagine the Exmor RS stacked sensor with Pureview tech... now that would be wishful thinking! :)
48. nirmalv (Posts: 3; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
Well the iphone 5 uses the new 8 mpx stacked sensor.
8. miki69 (Posts: 15; Member since: 01 Mar 2012)
@PhoneArena, please change article as Xperia T doesn't have Exmor RS sensor, only Exmor R. RS will come with 2013 lineup.
Rest of the article - just perfect.
How does flap cover feel like? Is it well aligned with the back?
15. Daniel.P (Posts: 105; Member since: 14 Jul 2011)
Yes, the flap is very easy to open, and when you close it, it becomes flush with the surface, no bumps or creaks. I'm suspicious at flaps, too, but this one's well-made ;)
24. schecter7 (Posts: 99; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
Daniel, could you double check the quadrant score? You may need to close all app and run it couple times. All three new xperias (T,TX,V) scored better than GS3 and others on the benhmarks GSMarena ran - your scores look inconsistent.

Thanks Daniel, really appreciate it.
Can you please shed some more light on call quality?
36. Daniel.P (Posts: 105; Member since: 14 Jul 2011)
Average to below average - the earpiece is too weak, even at maximum volume, the voices sound hollow and often distorted, while on the other side the voice is not clean either, and sounds muffled.

The Xperia S lineup and now the xperia T lineup. They have the dullest, most vacuous look I have seen on a smartphone. If you threw your phone into a fire and had the whole thing completely charred, you will come out with an Xperia T.
Sony still insists on using the worst screens in the industry. Everyone else has either IPS or AMOLED. Poor viewing angles went out of style over a year ago. You can tell its an Xperia because the screen looks so oversharpened and the colors are deep but so dark with no vibrancy whatsoever.
I don't understand how a camera company like Sony can make such subpar cameras over and over again. The Arc was blurry. The S was blurry. Now the T is blurry. Did they set their sharpen filter to -20? To it's credit, its not "as" blurry as their older models, but shamefully lacks detail and definition compared to the iPhone/Galaxy S III/One X. The 13MP is a joke.
Phonearena doesn't have a video review up yet, but if you check other sites, you will see its your typical slow and jerky Sony UI. It's neither elegant nor smooth.
Why in the world does Sony continue to make such unremarkable phones? And they are pumping out a dozen a year, all almost identical.

I actually agree. It seems like a lot of people like Sony, but are any really owning these phones? Sony's flagships always come in last. They're overall good phones but never really excel in any one category.
I don't really like them, just respect them for being unique.
45. mediar (Posts: 1; Member since: 23 Sep 2012)
Fully agree. Right now the 2012 Xperias are the ugliest devices out there, absolutely bland and boring design, nothing more than just bulky black bricks, which is a real shame for Sony, especially compared to the gorgeous 2011 Xperias! The UI is ugly and as well, depressing and unpleasant black color everywhere! Made for Emos, I guess. Buggy and laggy as hell! Nothing to do with their cute and sweet colorful 2011 UX UI, or the candy TouchWiz and SenseUI. Again stick with an year-late dual-core processor, poor display, poor camera and limited music player. Other than that, the current Xperias have absolutely nothing remarkable, and are definitely not worth the high price. I have never ever been so disappointed with Sony. They just took and destroyed the good old SE we used to love... ;(

sony always seems to get lukewarm reviews. i have yet to see a sony phone getting an excellent review even from other reviewers. it's funny people always ogle at japan only phone but once they are release in the international market they get good to poor review. japanese are losing to the koreans and taiwanese.
52. Hlorri (Posts: 40; Member since: 07 May 2008)
Most of the Sony Xperia line is not really for the Japanese market, these are phones originally developed in Sweden (by Sony Ericsson) for international customers.
But hey, if it's good enough for James Bond, it's good enough for me!

i really like Xperia T design, quite appealing to me. However 1.12 microns are quite low for serious camera contender. Both N86 and N8 have 1.75 microns per pixel
Still, with such geogous design, I have to forgive... :)

I could care less what you guys say bout SONY SKIN. I love their design the only thing is it's a MM bigger than the rest. It still have A GREAT SCREEN thanks to their MOBILE BRAVIA ENGINE. I'm only buying this phone cause it's PLAY STATION CERTIFIED and want it to match my PS3 then I'll buy a SONY TV with wifi

very "picky" review.........only thing i agree with on the con area "may" be the call quality..Other than that everything else is HIGHLY opinionated......but also I was never looking forward to the T, and Im sure I speak for alot of us when i say we've been more so waiting on the V and the TX.....overall 8 is a good score and knowing Phone Arena it is also "expected".........thats why the user ratings are usually higher than Phone Arena's ratings...because it is often very opinionated in alot of areas, but nonetheless good review and solid rating thanks Daniel :)
34. XperiaUser (unregistered)
absolutely right statement . Sony's phones gives a great user experience which is most important thing , thats why Sony phones always gets a higher user rating . u can't judge any Xperia on paper . try it,feel it and enjoy it ....

While with good contrast and pleasant, though slightly oversaturated color representation, the pictures don't boast any extraordinary amount of detail or exceptionally low noise, even outside. We'd say they are about at the level of current high-end iOS and Android phones.

"viewing angles are pretty good" Engadget
31. javorr (Posts: 14; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Engadget : It's another strong performing screen -- no AMOLED means less color distortion and no PenTile woes. The viewing angles appear identical to the Xperia S, meaning they're pretty damn good. We'd also like to mention here that those on-screen keys give the Xperia T a far up-to-date air than its predecessors -- Sony's catching up.

SERIOUSLY I really don't get it. In other reviews they said Xperia T has good viewing angle and a great screen but IPhoneArena said otherwise.

What a incredibly poor camera processing algorithm. Would have expected that with Sony improving its imaging line with RX 100 and RX 1 that there would be some improvement in the xperia T

A silverhootowl is a game old bird, mostly found in the backwoods of Missouri. They are known for their distinctive call. The only way to catch them is to clamp down on their muffler, which stops them dragging on the road. They have been seen as far afield as California and they fly to Hot Springs once a year for hibernation purposes.
Wow! Was that a silverhootowl that he saw? Yes it was, the distinctive muffler could be seen.

Six turnovers in, Clemson players and coaches got an earful from the South Carolina faithful Saturday night.
Brief chants of "Da-bo! Da-bo!" were quickly drowned out by louder chants of "S-E-C! S-E-C!" as Gamecocks fans celebrated at Williams-Brice Stadium.
After the 31-17 victory was in the books and the rivalry streak extended to a South Carolina-record five straight wins, no one in the Clemson traveling party went Pedro Martinez with, "I just tip my hat and call the Gamecocks my daddy."
The former Boston Red Sox pitcher, frustrated with Bronx domination, let go with that classic during the 2004 regular season (substituting "Yankees" for "Gamecocks").
Maybe some of the Tigers need to throw a similar pitch, a hybrid delivery of honesty and sarcasm. It worked for Red Sox Nation, currently celebrating World Series fun for the third time in 10 years.
Words alone won't beat the Gamecocks.
Clemson also needs hard cash, top recruits, consistent player development and a much better grip on the football.
But beware the ticked off Tiger. What doesn't get Swinney fired makes Clemson stronger. These people are a proud bunch — fans, donors, players, ex-players. This is the school that practically invented the athletic booster club, and new athletic director Dan Radakovich doesn't seem like a patient guy.
The swell of Clemson disgust for 0 for 5 has tidal wave potential.
Bowl season is a start. For all the college football and ESPN bias favoring the SEC, the final year of the BCS system discriminates against the premier league by allowing only two teams from each conference in BCS bowls. Thus, No. 13 Clemson likely will get a much bigger bowl showcase — perhaps a glitzy Orange Bowl matchup with Alabama — while No. 8 South Carolina unfairly settles for a lesser Florida bowl.
"We started this thing together way back in early August, and we're going to finish this thing together," Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris said. "We're not going to quit. We're going to pull together, we're going to rebound and get this thing going again. We're going to respond."
'We're going to respond'
South Carolina reacted accordingly to Clemson control in both football and baseball. Hard to believe, but before the Gamecocks' 2009 football win over Clemson at Williams-Brice Stadium, the Tigers won nine of 10 games in Columbia.
After Jack Leggett took the Clemson baseball program to back-to-back College World Series appearances in 1995 and 1996, former athletic director Mike McGee countered by hiring head coach Ray Tanner away from N.C. State. McGee also hired Spurrier.
Things can turn around quickly. Radakovich knows that; he worked under McGee at South Carolina.
By many common statistical measures, football fortune should have turned Clemson's way Saturday night. For the first time in The Streak, the Tigers outgained South Carolina (352-318).
Clemson had the leading passer in the game (Tajh Boyd), the leading rusher (Roderick McDowell) and the leading receiver (Sammy Watkins).
Vic Beasley of Clemson outsacked former Heisman candidate Jadeveon Clowney, 2-1.
The Tigers played well in the third quarter, making a comeback after South Carolina's sophomoric game-day managers played a dumb farmer skit on the video board and the school's high school-quality band attempted to mock Clemson fans with a halftime rendition of "Old McDonald Had a Farm" (memo to band members: study Ohio State on YouTube).
It's hard to do all that stuff and lose by 17 points.
'What if?' for USC, too
But turnovers are the tale of South Carolina grabbing the Tigers by the tail for half a decade. The Gamecocks have a 15-3 edge in the series: 3-2 in 2009 (34-17 win), 3-0 in 2010 (29-7), 1-0 in 2011 (34-13), 2-1 in 2012 (27-17), 6-0 in 2013.
"We beat ourselves," Watkins said. "This isn't Clemson football."
From experience, the Gamecocks can't help but think differently.
"We earned it," South Carolina cornerback Victor Hampton said. "It wasn't given to us."
South Carolina has "What if?" restlessness of its own.
What if the Gamecocks played better at Tennessee, a 5-7 team Clemson pummels any Saturday of the season?
What if the Gamecocks were about to spend a high-profile week game-planning for Auburn?
Fresh off a fifth consecutive double-digit victory over an archrival, you would have to like South Carolina's chances to win a conference title.
Clemson should have such problems.

Coach: Steve Coppes, first year.
2013: 16-8, 7-4 Midland Athletic League (fifth).
Returning letterwinners: Seniors Amy Martin (OF); Holly Bordner (C); Kristen Bowerman (1B/DH); Alyssa England (IF/OF); Cameil Ruffing (OF); Rachel Bauman (P/IF). Junior Caitlin Sauers (3B). Sophomores Paige Reichert (P/IF/OF); Kayleen England (SS/OF).
Others: Sophomores Mykayla Ruffing (OF); CJ Linkey (2B/OF). Freshman Hannah Martin (P/IF/OF).
Outlook: It may be Coppes first year at the helm but he's very familiar with the program, spending the last five prior seasons with the Tigers in assistant or JV capacities.
So he knows what to expect when it comes to his team. Especially when it comes to his battery: Bauman and Bordner. Bauman was second in the league in strikeouts, mowing down 145 hitters in 123 1/3 innings. She was fourth in ERA with a 2.72.
There's never a brouhaha between the two.
"They're best friends on and off the field. They get together and throw together in the offseason," Coppes said. "They do cardio together before practice. They're dedicated, hard working kids."
The two know each other well enough that when the staff doesn't get the pitch called in, there's no delay.
"We set out to call every pitch, but she'll call her own pitches when needed," Coppes said. "Some games when they get in a groove, we'll let them do it themselves."
The Tigers may not rely as heavily on Bauman as much this year, as Coppes wants Reichart and Martin to log some innings to "take some innings off Bauman's arm, which should help her out."
Bowerman returns for her third season at first base, which matches the service time of the other corner infielder, Sauers. Martin and Linkey figure to platoon at second with England handling shortstop.
The other half of the Martin/Linkey platoon will play in left field with the Ruffing sisters handling the rest of the outfield.
"We've got a real good attitude and a good work ethic," Coppes said. "Our corner infield is real good. Up the middle is where we're inexperienced."
Live experience is at a premium.
"We have six seniors, but not a lot of varsity starting experience," Coppes said. "This year, being young up the middle and not having much varsity experience, we want to be competitive every day and get better every day. That starts with practice every day. Hopefully at the end of the season, we'll be really competitive and win some games."
If that occurs, Coppes will meet his team's goal for the league.
"I think it's getting to be a solid and competitive league. New Riegel, Mohawk and St. Joe ran the table last year. North Baltimore will be good this year too," Coppes said. "Those will be the top contenders in the picture. With youth and experience, probably somewhere in the middle of the pack. We'll be competitive every day and probably somewhere in the middle of the pack at the end of the season."

EAST LIVERPOOL - In the annual "Battle of the Bridges" it was the battle of turnovers that made the difference.
Oak Glen gave the ball away six times on Friday, while East Liverpool played nearly mistake-free football as the Potters cruised to a 33-13 victory at Patterson Field.
The victory was the second of the season for the Potters (2-6), while the loss puts the Bears (4-4) playoff hopes in serious jeopardy.

East Liverpool was whistled for just four penalties in the game and committed only one turnover in what coach Rick Prescott said was the team's best overall performance of the year.
"We talked all week about playing four quarters and limiting our mistakes," he said. "We've been on the other side of the turnover battle. We've been preaching ball control and playing to the whistle. We were in good shape and we were efficient."
East Liverpool senior Stefan Yoho stole the show doing a little of everything for the Potters. Yoho finished with 129 yards rushing with a touchdown on 22 carries. On defense, he returned a fumble 22 yards for a score and collected two interceptions.
"He's really becoming an all-around player," Prescott said of Yoho. "He's a leader and he's got tons of athletic ability. He's really coming into his own in all facets of the game."
For the Bears, three interceptions by Bub Haddox and one by Chase Hartley together with two lost fumbles proved to be too much to overcome.
"When you lose the turnover battle that bad, it's hard to compete," Oak Glen coach Ian Whittington said. "We did a lot of positive things, but turnovers killed our drives. We had way too many on their side of the field. It's nearly impossible to recover from that many mistakes."
The Bears' first turnover came on their first possession. Zack Staley set up Oak Glen on the East Liverpool 14-yard line with a 39-yard run, but Haddox was picked off by Yoho.
Oak Glen would get on the board first, however, when Haddox found paydirt from three yards out. The score was set up by a 34-yard run by Trey Smith and the Bears led, 7-0, with 4:45 left in the first frame.
Midway through the second quarter, another Haddox interception - this time by D.J. Austin - led to the Potters first touchdown as John Miscuk barreled through the Oak Glen defense from five yards out.
Payton Newlun got his first start at quarterback for East Liverpool with Kade Reynolds out with an injury. The senior started the game with seven incompletions, but on a 3rd-and-5 on the Oak Glen 35-yard line he found Tyler McComas on a 28-yard reception which set up the Potters' second score. This time it would be Newlun himself who found the end zone from seven yards out to give his team a 13-7 advantage with one minute left in the half.
"You can't argue with what he did for us," Prescott said of Newlun. "He was ready for the opportunity and we put the ball in his hands."
After forcing Oak Glen to a three-and-out, East Liverpool nearly scored again before the break. Newlun found Zack English on a 46-yard completion all the way down to the Oak Glen 9-yard line. With only half a second on the clock, however, Newlun's last attempt fell incomplete to send the game to halftime.
The Bears came out of the gates strong in the second half with a 11-play, 68-yard scoring drive that took four minutes off the clock. After Haddox left the game with an injury, Chase Hartley entered at quarterback and capped the drive with a 25-yard touchdown run to tie the game, 13-13, with 7:47 left in the third quarter.
It took only one play for the Potters to answer.
Yoho broke several tackles in the middle of the Oak Glen defense and was off to the races, 68-yards for the score and East Liverpool led, 20-13, with 7:27 in the third frame.
Just two plays later, a Smith fumble was recovered by East Liverpool's Chris Russell. But the Potters would give the ball back three plays later when Clayton Flowers intercepted Newlun.
The Bears couldn't cash in on the opportunity though and neither team would score again until late in the final frame.
Still trailing by just one score, Oak Glen took over with four minutes to play in good field position on their own 44-yard line after an East Liverpool punt was partially blocked. After Russell sacked Hartley for a 13-yard loss, his next pass was tipped, caught by a Bears' lineman who then fumbled the ball. Yoho scooped up the loose pigskin and ran 22 yards for the score.
Haddox returned for the next Oak Glen series and was promptly picked off by Newlun who would then cap the game's scoring with a 3-yard run with one minute to play.
"I got exactly what I expected from East Liverpool," Whittington said. "They played physical and we gave them too many shots and they took advantage of it. They fought us tooth and nail and made the plays when we didn't."
Oak Glen, which came in ranked No. 22 in the WVSSAC playoff ratings, will now need to win their final two games and get plenty of help to have any chance of playing in the postseason.
"We need a miracle to get in," said Whittington whose Bears have a bye week before hosting Point Pleasant. "We need a lot of teams in front of us to lose and all the teams we beat to win out. It's a far shot, a very far shot, but I've seen crazier things happen."
The Potters will look to keep their momentum alive next week when they host Cleveland East Tech.
"We had a great week of practice and I'm looking for another one," Prescott said. "The focus is there. We've been stressing that the next game starts on Monday because that's when we get to work. These guys believe in themselves and are putting in the preparation."
NOTES: Newlun finished with 93 yards on 3-of-15 passing with an interception. ... Oak Glen was led by Smith's 70 yards rushing on 12 carries. Haddox was 3-of-11 for 3 yards and three interceptions, while Hartley was 3-of-5 for 30 yards with a pick.

I'm dreaming of a ... gray Thursday?
November 19, 2012 - Rob Weaver
Forget the forecast, which now calls for clear skies Thanksgiving day. This Thursday is starting to look a bit gray.
That's because Black Friday has begun to creep into the preceding holiday. The Friday after Thanksgiving traditionally has been the kickoff to the Christmas shopping season. It came to be known as Black Friday because of the urban myth that it's the day retailers begin to show a profit, or operate in the black.
Actually, the term originated decades ago in Philadelphia, when a curmudgeonly type used it as an apt description for the hordes of holiday shoppers who converge on retail stores. Over the years, stores opened at ever-earlier hours, more recently opening well before dawn the day after Thanksgiving -- 6 a.m. openings yielded to 5 a.m., then 4 a.m.
Now, the openings have extended into the holiday itself, with Walmart and Sears stores among those planning to open at 8 p.m. Thursday.
There is a logic to the ever-earlier start. Black Friday originally occurred because of the number of people who were off work the day after the holiday. Considering most Thanksgiving meals likely will be over by 8 p.m. (ignoring grazing of leftovers, which never really ceases), those who aren't sports fans may be willing to engage in recreational shopping with friends and family that evening.
But (and this is a bit hypocritical, because some A-T staffers will work Thursday on the Friday edition) as more retailers open Thanksgiving day, more retail employees will be pulled away from family gatherings to go to work.
If the early opening is profitable, some retailers might opt to unlock their doors even earlier next Thanksgiving. Whether the shopping season continues intruding into the holiday, then, really is up to the shoppers.

Definition of the Traveller's Thrombosis and Causing Factors
The Traveller's Thrombosis is a thrombosis that occurs in the deep venous system of the lower extremities (with or without pulmonary embolism complications) of a person, who did not show any signs of acute venous embolism at the time of departure, resulting from a prolonged seating during flights. The Traveller's Thrombosis is also known as "deep vein thrombosis" or DVT.
The low mobility fostered by long-haul flights favors the developments of deep vein thrombosis in patients with existing risk factors.
Additionnal information is provided on all Austrian Airlines long-haul flight via a video tape featuring fitness tips and an accompanying announcement.

Acceptance of Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) and CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) devices
Following portable oxygen concentrators have been tested and approved by the Austrian Airlines technical department. They may be used on board our flights for medical reasons. Non approved devices may be taken into the passenger cabin, but must not be used during the flight.

On 13 December 2014, the EU regulation 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers came into effect. The purpose of the new regulation is to ensure that consumers with food allergies or intolerance are informed about the use of allergenic ingredients in food products.
The new legislation also has an influence on the airline industry. The regulation requires that all airlines departing from EU countries including Norway and Switzerland must be able to provide clear information to passengers about the presence of possible allergens in the meals provided on board.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has prepared a list of 14 potentially allergenic substances.
Austrian Airlines provides all required information on possible allergenic ingredients in food and beverages, served on board of our EU flights (including Switzerland and Norway). In case you have any food allergy or similar concerns, please talk to your doctor before travelling with us. Austrian Airlines will not take any responsibility for any allergic reaction you might have on one of our flights.

quote: Have you seen the mini's screen?
quote: In theory Android could do the same, just nobody has bothered.
quote: What the screen gets you in terms of color is gamut - the range of colors it can reproduce. Accuracy is almost entirely dependent on software. (Incidentally, the AMOLED screens completely blow away LCD when it comes to gamut. It's the reason they're over-saturated if you don't calibrate them.)
quote: Plus I feel the richer colors help with glare sunlight and other things that we face daily.
quote: Your phrasing also infers that more people prefer Samsung's color profiles, which doesn't work given that their high end devices are a niche compared to the iPhone, and their tablets sold are a blip in comparison to the 120+ million iPads sold (not just shipped).
quote: People also turn on that awful motion smoothing garbage on LCD HDTVs. Liking something terrible doesn't make them right.
quote: Your feelings are incorrect given that the GS2 and GS3 consistently rank among the worst displays in broad daylight
quote: Also niche?? Yeah pretty sure Samsung sells more top-end phones than Apple, nice try.
quote: As the iPad Mini and many products before it prove, there are people who buy up Apple products in droves simply because it's an Apple.
quote: lmao I like how you pretend there's some objective scientific "ranking" for such a metric. Whatever, this is silliness.
