Graphics Card Problems-G73jh
I have a g73jh i got from Best Buy, I have spent the past two days looking around for a solution to this problem, it did not exist when I first got it, and only began this weekend (roughly a year after I got the laptop)
MY graphics Card is a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5800
My problem is this, I get a corrupted screen (imaged below) when I do one of the following
1- watch a youtube video, both embedded or on site- flash content works fine
2- play select games, counterstrike is an example, just cause 2 works fine
3- unplug the laptop on have it run off battery
if I close the troublesome program/video or plug the laptop back in the screen returns to normal
I attempted to use the GSOD fix, but this only made the screen become corrupted ALL the time, instead of just with certain programs- I flashed my Vbios back to the stock version
I did update the drivers to both the newest from ATI and the one from the Asus website- no change
I did run some stress tests like FurMark- it told me the card was at 70* the whole time
So does Speed fan, but BurnIntest says it went up to 90.....
I would really appreciate some help!

Bump- could really use some help
Does the corrupt display also occur on a secondary monitor? If not, you may have a poorly seated LCD video cable. If so, you may have a faulty GPU.
If you just purchased this laptop, I would go to the retailer and ask for an exchange to a new model without this issue.G74SX-A1 - stock hardware - BIOS 202 - 2nd Monitor VISIO VF551XVT

September 4, 2012
Today the "Big Three" U.S. automakers released their August sales figures—and the results may surprise you. Despite the fact that consumers are still skittish about the larger economy, each of these three companies posted robust sales growth for the month of August. It has been some time since I have revisited the U.S. auto industry, so let's dig into the details and see whether there are any profit opportunities to be had from this newfound sales growth.
First up, Ford Motor Co. (F) reported a 13% jump in August sales compared with a year ago; this topped analyst expectations of a 9.8% rise. In July, Ford had posted a 3.8% drop in U.S. sales. Last month's growth was driven by a 28% surge in sport utility vehicle sales, particularly its Ford Escape and Ford Explorer models. At the same time, Ford reported growing demand for its more fuel-efficient models in response to rising gasoline prices. As you can see on its Portfolio Grader stock report page, F is currently a D-rated sell, but I will keep tabs on analyst activity in the next few weeks to see if the analyst community upwardly revises its estimates for Ford's quarterly sales and earnings. The Street view currently calls for just 0.4% sales growth and a 14.7% drop in earnings. So I don't recommend that you jump on the Ford bandwagon just yet—buying pressure for this stock is still quite low, making this stock more trouble than it is worth at the moment.
Ford's largest competitor General Motors Co. (GM) announced that its U.S. auto sales advanced 10% over August 2011, making last month the company's best month in terms of retail. General Motors' Chevrolet brand did particularly well, with the Equinox, Sonic and Volt fueling a 25% jump in sales. But like Ford, General Motors Co. (GM) is also a D-rated sell due to lackluster buying pressure. And analysts are even more downbeat about General Motors' top- and bottom-line this quarter—forecasts call for a 2.5% drop in sales and a whopping 41.7% drop in earnings!
Finally, Chrysler Group LLC also announced a 14% year-over-year jump in August sales thanks to robust demand for the Fiat brand. This is the 29th consecutive month that the company has posted year-over-year sales growth. On top of this, the company revealed that August sales of the 2013 Dodge Dart surged 300% compared with July. Chrysler is the one Big Three company that is not listed in my Portfolio Grader tool, and that's because it is owned in part by Italian manufacturer Fiat.
There's no doubt that August was a good month for U.S. automakers: Overall, new car sales in the U.S. are forecast to advance 20% compared with August 2011 and 12% compared with the prior month. But I recommend that you give these companies a bit more time before making any new buys. If you're really itching to get into the automobile industry, there is strength to be had among the recreational vehicle segment. In particular, my Portfolio Grader tool has isolated three recreational vehicle companies that are going strong in terms of buying pressure and fundamentals; click here to see them.

Doctoring The Numbers
The Draft, Part Eight
Before we pick up the draft study where we left off, let's make a deal: I'll agree not to bring up the fact that it's been six months since Part 7 if you do. Deal.
Last time, we looked at the relative merits of high school players by position, ending with this chart:
1984 - 1999 1992 - 1999 Pos Overall Pos Overall HS 3B - 1.7% HS 3B + 31.1% HS SS - 6.7% HS C + 17.2% HS OF - 31.4% HS SS - 16.3% HS C - 41.5% HS OF - 31.8% HS 1B - 54.5% HS 1B - 52.9% HS 2B - 84.0% HS 2B - 89.7%Generally speaking, players on the left side of the infield graded out best, players on the right side of the infield were (by far) the worst picks, and guys in the middle--outfielders and catchers--stayed in the middle in terms of their draft returns. The most surprising finding may have been the fact that, at least in the 1990s, high school catchers were better-than-average risks among prep talent, belying their reputation as the riskiest of draft picks.
Now for the analysis of college position players, where the calculus is significantly different.
Pos Years 1st Rd 2nd Rd 3rd Rd Overall COL C 84-91 - 10.9% + 6.1% + 99.2%* + 1.1% COL C 92-99 SSS - 10.5%* + 63.9%* + 88.0% COL C 84-99 + 18.1% + 1.5% + 83.6% + 18.9% Years Biggest Bargains Biggest Busts 84-91 Craig Biggio, Mike MacFarlane Bob Caffrey, Scott Hemond 92-99 Charles Johnson, Jason Varitek Tommy Davis, Sammy SerranoMuch like their high school counterparts, collegiate catchers improved their relative value significantly from the first half of the study to the second. Craig Biggio may be a Hall of Famer, but the quality falls off quickly--Kirt Manwaring was the 3rd-best draftee of that era. Still, a large number of draftees enjoyed long, if not particularly distinguished, careers, including Dan Wilson (the only college catcher in the whole study who was a Top 10 draft pick), Jorge Fabregas, Scott Hatteberg, Brent Mayne, and Scott Servais. Eric Wedge deserves a special mention, I suppose.
Since 1992, teams have become far more selective about picking college catchers, with far better results. There were 33 catchers taken among the top 100 picks between 1984 and 1991; that number dropped to just 16 between 1992 and 1999. Only two college catchers were taken in the first 40 picks--Charles Johnson and Jason Varitek, the two biggest bargains of the era. You can question the data here if you want--Brandon Inge is categorized as a catcher, but he had minimal experience at the position until the Tigers drafted him and put him behind the plate. I guess you could argue that Matt LeCroy has yet to play the position. But that would be cruel.
Pos Years 1st Rd 2nd Rd 3rd Rd Overall COL 1B 84-91 +162.9%* + 49.1%* +573.2%* +174.3% COL 1B 92-99 +104.7%* SSS - 78.3%* + 87.1% COL 1B 84-99 +144.2% + 97.0%* +204.8% +144.3% Years Biggest Bargains Biggest Busts 84-91 See below Dave McCarty, Joe Vitiello 92-99 See below Eric Munson, Danny PeoplesI was at first reluctant to break down the draft by individual positions, thinking that the sample sizes might be so small as to render the data meaningless. But the chart above single-handedly justifies it. Hell, it justifies the whole draft study. If there's one piece of advice for GMs to take away from this entire study, it's this: college first basemen make GREAT draft picks.
Between 1984 and 1991, nine college first basemen were drafted in the first round. Two of them rank as the biggest busts in this era, Dave McCarty and Joe Vitiello. Scott Stahoviak was the Doug Mientkiewicz of his day, a great defensive first baseman (he played 41 games at third base in the majors, with an average fielding rating according to our DTs) who could get on base but had no pop, and was finished at age 28.
The other six players, in increasing order of draft value: Tino Martinez, Mo Vaughn, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Will Clark, and Frank Thomas.
It's a very small sample size, but if you were drafting a first baseman out of college in the first round, you had a 2-in-3 chance of drafting a perennial All-Star, and a 4-in-9 chance of drafting a Hall of Famer or near-HoFer. Throw in John Olerud, who was a third-round pick because no one thought he was signable, and your odds of getting a star/superstar player out of the first round was 50-50.
The returns on first basemen dropped in the 90s, but they still ranked as one of the most underpriced commodities in the draft. Only 15 college first basemen were selected in the top 100 picks from 1992 to 1999, but they included Todd Helton, Lance Berkman, Sean Casey, and Carlos Pena. Helton and Berkman were both first-round picks, along with Pena and three washouts (Peoples, Munson--who was really more of a catcher in college--and Jeff Liefer). Taken as a whole there were 15 college first-rounders from 1984 to 1999, 16 if you count Olerud. If you ignore the voting implications of steroid or alleged steroid use, five of those 16 are likely Hall of Famers, three more (Vaughn, Olerud, Clark) had a case for being the best first baseman in the game at some point in time, and three more (Martinez, Casey, Pena) were average or above-average first basemen in their prime.
That's a hell of a return.
Because the sample size was so small--only 35 first basemen in the whole study--I decided to take a look at the first basemen drafted in the last five years to see whether the trend shows signs of holding up or not. Here are the first basemen taken in the top 100 picks between 2000 and 2005:
2000: None
Gee, that wasn't very useful. In the last six years, only seven college first basemen have gone in the top 100 picks, and only one--Michael Aubrey--went in the first round. Aubrey's career got off on the right track--he was our #17 prospect a year ago--but he threw out his back last season, which is among the worst chronic injuries you can have if you're a first baseman.
Actually, there is one college first baseman who was selected even higher than Aubrey in the last six years. Unfortunately, the Pirates chose to send John Van Benschoten to the mound, even though the consensus throughout baseball was that he was a better hitting prospect than pitching prospect. Given the returns on college first basemen in the first round, you could argue that the Pirates made one of the most foolish draft-day decisions of all time. Especially now that it's his shoulder that's benschoten. (Thank you. I'll be here all week.)
Why have college first basemen proven to be such great investments, when their high school counterparts have been among the worst investments? I think it has to do with two things:
Contrast Cust with Will Clark, the highest-drafted college first baseman (#2 overall) in our study. Clark was considerably more athletic than Cust, capable of winning a Gold Glove at the position and a good baserunner, if not a good basestealer. Moreover, he needed all of 71 minor league games before he was called to The Show; he was one of the best first basemen in the game two years after he was drafted.
To put it succinctly: college first basemen are not only considerably further along in their offensive development than high school first baseman, but they are considerably more athletic as well, giving them more potential for improvement after they have signed. The ones who are not athletic, like Thomas or Vaughn, are such prodigious mashers that it really doesn't make any difference. Yeah, it's a shame that Frank Thomas essentially reached his peak as a 22-year-old rookie. But a 22-year-old rookie with a .345 EqA needs no improvement to produce a Hall of Fame career.
Mind you, the first baseman that mashes the ball so thoroughly in college that he's considered worthy of a first-round pick despite his limited positional value is rare indeed; in recent years, at least, no such player existed. The best college hitters in recent years have also had the athleticism to play other positions, such as third base (Mark Teixeira and Alex Gordon), shortstop (Stephen Drew), or even second base (Rickie Weeks).
This year's draft, which is considered to be particularly weak in college hitters, may be no different. But keep your eye on Matt LaPorta, who plays first base at Florida and who Baseball America states "is the draft's premier college power hitter." If history is any guide, he's going to make the team that selects him very happy indeed.
Pos Years 1st Rd 2nd Rd 3rd Rd Overall COL 2B 84-91 SSS - 80.0%* SSS + 30.4% COL 2B 92-99 SSS + 44.2%* SSS + 55.6% COL 2B 84-99 + 91.0%* - 21.5% - 69.6% + 41.0% Years Biggest Bargains Biggest Busts 84-91 Chuck Knoblauch, Luis Alicea Ty Griffin, Mike Watters 92-99 Adam Kennedy, Marlon Anderson Charles Abbott, Dan CeyThe story at second base is the story at first base, writ small. Just like first basemen, second basemen drafted out of college make excellent investments even though their high school counterparts have had the absolute worst returns of any position.
The reasoning is similar. Whereas playing second base at the high school level is a major red flag--how good a prospect can you be if you're not even the best middle infielder on your high school team?--that stigma is not there at the college level, where the standards are much higher. And as with first basemen, second basemen at the college level have had three additional years to develop their batting skills, which is relevant because most second basemen are drafted as offense-first players. (This makes sense; if these guys were considered great defensive second basemen, they would have been playing at shortstop.)
Yes, Chuck Knoblauch won a Gold Glove at second base, but 1) he wasn't considered a great defensive player coming out of college, and 2) according to our defensive metrics, he was a below-average player defensively for the bulk of his career. Of the other guys above, only Adam Kennedy has a strong defensive reputation. (And the two other players who have provided the most returns are legendary iron gloves Mark Bellhorn and Todd Walker.) If you're drafting a collegiate second baseman with a high draft pick, you're probably drafting him because you think he can hit well enough to carry his glove--and by and large, that has been a wise and successful strategy. (Cub fans are permitted to disagree; I think Will Carroll is still holding out hope that Ty Griffin can make a comeback. And bring Gary Scott back with him.)
As at the high school level, relatively few second basemen in college make for elite draft picks--only 21 players were selected in the 16 years of our study. Let's look at the years from 2000 to 2005 again; this time, there's some useful insight to be gleaned here:
2000: Chase Utley, Philadelphia, #15; Dominic Rich, Toronto, #58
That's a pretty impressive list. Not only has Chase Utley emerged as an elite player, but he did so coming out of the 2000 draft that ranks as probably the weakest draft in the last 25 years. (The only other established major leaguer out of the first round that year is Rocco Baldelli.) Rickie Weeks, by far the highest-drafted second baseman ever, is a trendy breakout pick this year. Chris Burke--who is listed in the Baseball America database as a 2B/SS in college--was a disappointment last season after being touted as a Rookie of the Year candidate, but there's still time.
These recent draft picks confirm the notion that collegiate second basemen are drafted for their bats--none of these guys was considered a stellar glove man in college. Interestingly, most of them have stayed at second base as pros; having already spent a draft pick on the players, the teams that drafted them have already accepted the fact that their defense is going to be a liability, and are not as eager to move them down the defensive spectrum as you might expect.
The other thing that stands out is that almost every one of these draft picks, even failed picks like Woods and Lewis, possess secondary skills in abundance. For the most part, none of them hit for a good average, but they all draw a bunch of walks, and most of them have above-average power and speed. I don't know if it's a coincidence or a reflection of the type of player that teams are looking for at the position.
This year, there may not be a college second baseman drafted in the first 100 picks; the top-rated player, Adam Davis, is ranked by Baseball America as the 32nd-best college hitter available. Coincidentally, Davis is teammates with Matt LaPorta at Florida. He definitely fits the mold--he only hit .306 as a sophomore, but with 12 homers in 294 AB (despite checking in at 5'9"), 40 walks, and 24 steals.
Back next week--I promise--with the rest of the college hitters.

Grain Brains Challenge
A recipe challenge to help you get whole grains into your mouth, not just your kitchen.
Early in March, I met a baker who hates flour. Michael Perakovich makes sprouted wheat breads at Columbia County Bread and Granola and his hatred comes from what flour does to people's bodies. He's spent two years perfecting the company's formula for sprouted wheat dough, applying the principles of artisan baking to a flour-free environment. His ingredients include sprouts, water, salt and sourdough starters that he cultures on sprouts. He won't touch the pitas because he hasn't been able to master that recipe minus flour – it still needs a little of the stuff.
Even though I am totally in love with flour, I got curious about his passion. I am a sucker for enthusiasm, and I have my own doubts about flour. How nutritionally useful is flour compared to eating a cooked or sprouted whole grain? Do the phytic acids in whole grain flours inhibit our ability to absorb their nutrients, and nutrients from other foods? I knew that Sally Fallon advocates sprouting in her cookbook Nourishing Traditions.
Coincidentally, when I saw Michael speak at a workshop for processing local grains (he followed a woman who operates a Dutch windmill in Holland, Michigan), I had some wheat sprouting at home. I am trying to turn my cupboard into less of a library. Archiving food is not really the goal right? But that's what happens with grains because I love them.
Anyway, I took those sprouted grains and loosely followed a recipe I found online and had beginner's luck. The bread rose fine and tasted great, if a little gummy. I could not repeat my success, however, even if I followed the instructions to the letter on the next round. I also substituted a lot of sprouts for flour in my favorite no-knead bread recipe. The result was more like baked pudding than bread! I almost gave up.
I did have luck with a recipe for yeasted bread from King Arthur's Whole Grain Baking Book, one of my favorite references for whole grains, even if it uses orange juice too much for my tastes. Why I don't believe in juice is a whole other chat-a-rama, so I'll stick to sprouts and say the recipes for yeasted bread that include sprouts in that book are good. I won't be making them often because I think that the long fermentations of sourdough are very helpful. This is another baking process I have yet to devote myself to learning.
Figuring out how to sprout grains was easier than I thought. I never had luck with jars, but Michael Perakovich sprouts in long flat tubs, so I changed my method. I soak wheat berries in water overnight, drain them, and sprout over the course of the next couple of days. Instead of using mason jars topped with screened lids, I use flattish metal bowls topped with plates. I sprout 2 cups at a time, draining them through a strainer. I rinse twice a day until the sprouts are as long as the seeds. I use them immediately, or put them in the fridge.
Shaking out enough water in the strainer is important, otherwise you will inhibit germination and allow other undesired funky kinds of growth. When you make that mistake, don't despair — you've got compost.
Sprouting is very useful in my house right now. I've got a five gallon bucket of wheat we grew last year that I want to use. (Read here about the harvest.) I'm not a good enough little red hen to delegate the milling responsibility – we can mill it on my friend Howard's bicycle powered flour mill – to other people I feed.
It is so fun to see the wheat we grew grow all over again. The seeds are very lively, and sprout more quickly than seeds I've purchased. I've been adding the sprouts to pancakes, crackers and crepes with good success. I love the way they taste and the way they help me think I'm doing something healthy. Here's some of my favorite formulas.
Based on Laura Brody's Multi-seed Crackerbread in the King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking Book. You can use water but I want all the fats I can get because, as a friend once said, fat equals flavor.
- 2 cups sprouted wheat berries
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup rye flour
- ½ cup cornmeal
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¾ cup milk
Grind the wheat berries in a food processor or very strong blender. You want them especially fine for these crackers, which are very flat, so let the machine go for a minute or two, pausing and moving the material around a little.
Mix the dry ingredients with a whisk. Add ground wheat berries – which will look like a paste with lots of little nubs – the olive oil, and about ½ cup of the milk. If the dough comes together in a nice ball, you've added enough liquid. You don't want it too dry, but you do not want it too wet, either, because too much moisture gives you a cracker that is not crisp.
Divide the dough into balls that are 3 ounces each. If you can't weigh it out, make about 8-10 balls. Let them rest for an hour on the counter in a bowl with a plate on it or maybe draped with a wet towel, to keep them from drying out.
Roll the balls on a board dusted with flour. Go for super thin. A 3 ounce ball can stretch 8-10 inches in diameter. Just before you are done rolling, sprinkle with poppy, onion, or sesame seeds, and press them into the dough. Transfer onto silicone mats or a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 450° F oven for 7-10 minutes.
Cool on a rack. If the crackers are too chewy, they may need to sit overnight in the air or in the oven, drying out a little. Store in a tightly sealed container.
- 1 cup sprouted wheat berries
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup buckwheat flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
Grind the sprouts and a little of the milk in a blender until the sprouts are broken up pretty fine. Add the rest of the ingredients. Allow the batter to rest for at least 10 minutes, to let the flour absorb the moisture. If you want to prepare this the night before, refrigerate the batter.
Once your griddle or crepe pan is ready, blend the batter once more to incorporate all the ingredients. I like to pour the batter into a bowl because when you use whole grain flours and sprouts, particles drop to the bottom and need a little encouragement from a quick stir before each pour. I use about a third to a half cup batter for each crepe.
Wait till the top of the crepe is set and the edges are a little brown before flipping. I always top my crepes with plain yogurt, but you can go any direction you want.

I haven't had any personal experience with this seeing as this is my first baby and we haven't shared the name we've picked with many people. Only about 5 people know the name and they've all had positive responses so far... Honestly though, I agree with Lizgingermitch - unless they were confirming reservations about the name you already had i'd ignore the haters. Some people are just rude.
FYI - Indie is a gorgeous name, so definitely ignore them!!!

Two Linux distros on the same computer
Now I have bought a new computer.
On my old computer, I had Windows XP and Mandrake 10.0.
First I installed Windows XP and afterwards I installed Mandrake 10.0
LILO came to the screen when I started the computer gave me a choice of selecting Windows XP. I would like to keep Windows XP as a symbolic operating system.
My default operating system was Mandrake Linux 10.0. Even in the future I will keep Mandrake as the default operating system.
I would do the same thing on my new computer.
This time I want to install even SuSE Linux too. I have already downloaded the SuSE Linux 10.0 version from a FTP site. I will download the Mandriva 10.2 version in due course.
Is it possible to have two Linux distros on one and the same computer?
Your thoughts are welcome.
[ I will first install Windows XP.]
Yes it is possible to install multiple versions of linux on a hard drive, hec you can even make them use the same partitions for home and tmp etc.... but i wont get into that here. The decision your gonna need to make is when you install them, which one would you like to install the bootloader... and then edit the lilo.conf or grub.conf accordingly... if you dont know how to edit those conf files then just let the distro you install second install its bootloader over the one you installed first... it should give you and option to choose between both distros.
Yes. If you look at the www.tldp.org website, there will be some howto's on how to do it. You will want to update lilo or grub on one of the two distro's do that you don't get a case of the dueling distro's. You could also use the same /home partition for both distro's. If you use different user names, there should be no conflicts. Bear in mind that Mandrake starts the UIDs at 500 while SuSE uses a different range.
One way to do it is to use the root partition, rather than the MBR, for lilo or grub on the second distro, and have the first distro chainload the second's boot loader. This will have the disadvantage of going through two boot menu's to start the second distro, but this way, you can update lilo/grub on the second distro normally, making it easier to maintain.
Another way would be to use the XP's NTLDR to chain load whichever Linux distro that you want. There are numerous messages on this site on how to do this (use the search function) as well as numerous how-tos on the Net (use google).
Good Luck.
FWIW, my computer was running XP and Mandrakelinux 10.1 and I installed the SUSE Linux 10.0 retail (boxed) version using all defaults (except for time zone, etc.) It set up the bootloader (GRUB) perfectly and I can now boot into any of them.

Anglers hooking tog, rock since storm passed
Believe it or not, fish have been caught since the storm. I was visiting Indian River Inlet Tuesday and several folks were catching tog on crab at the fence by the Coast Guard Station. I had other reports of tog caught by the inlet bridge the same day on the same bait.
I also saw several people fishing the surf at Herring Point and found out they have been catching small red drum and rock. It was cold and very windy on the beach, and I give those fishermen a lot of credit for braving the elements. As for me, I will wait until I have confirmed reports of bigger rockfish and blues along the beach before dressing like an Eskimo and soaking bait.
The only report I have of fish taken from a boat is Evan Falgowski, who caught a 34-pound rock at the mouth of Delaware Bay. There may have been a time when I would have braved big seas and cold winds to be the first to catch a big fall rockfish, but those days are long past, and I congratulate Evan and his crew.
Deer season
Delaware's shotgun deer season opens today, and I hope to be in the field looking for some venison. I have to hunt public land, and that scares the dickens out of me, because not getting shot is always the first priority when I go hunting. The place I have chosen does not draw a lot of hunters, but it only takes one idiot to really spoil the day.
I hope everyone has a safe and successful hunt.
Storm damage
I drove down the coast to Indian River Inlet on Tuesday and found no significant damage to most of the area. As we have all seen, the washover at the north end of the inlet bridge was severe, and something has to be done to protect the road from storm surges. There is talk of building a steel barrier from the jetty north to an undetermined location. The way the beach looked on Tuesday, that barrier would have to be at least a mile long and backfilled with large rocks and sand.
The beach at Cape Henlopen State Park and south of the inlet was open for fishing. The access roads on the north side of the inlet were closed. I suspect those will remain closed until the current nor'easter passes by.
The fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park is in pretty bad shape. I am hopeful it can be repaired by spring.
Indian River Inlet looked fine, and as previously mentioned, people were catching tog. Both the north side and south side marinas also seemed fine. If and when the wind stops blowing, boats will be able to sail and should find some tog.
I have several friends in New Jersey, and they have sent reports and photos showing the devastation there. One friend had his house on Long Beach Island burn down before it was swallowed by the sand and sea. The Fisherman Magazine office in Point Pleasant, where I worked from for many years, is totally destroyed. My son Roger in Freehold was without power for a week, and some of my friends in Jersey are still without electricity and may be for several more days.
Delaware dodged the bullet on this one.
Advisory Council on Recreational Fishing Funding meeting
The Advisory Council on Recreational Fishing Funding will meet at the Senate Hearing Room in Legislative Hall in Dover at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 13. The meeting is open to the public, but is not a public hearing. Visitors are encouraged to address the council at the end of the meeting on subjects that are under the purview of the council.
The council has the responsibly of advising the governor on projects that may be funded with Delaware General License Funds. These funds are matched three to one with federal money collected from a 5 percent excise tax on fishing equipment. The federal government has strict guidelines on how the license money may be spent. If funds are diverted to unapproved projects, the Fish and Wildlife Service can deny funding to all projects in the state.
I have asked to have three new projects placed on the agenda for consideration. The first is the repair of the fishing pier at Cape Henlopen State Park. The pier was one of the causalities of the storm and will need significant work, which should be done by spring.
The other two projects are the building of a fishing pier at Fox Point State Park in Wilmington and a study of the condition of the bottom of Delaware Bay. The first would provide fishing access to the Delaware River, and the second might explain why artificial reefs are the only locations in the bay that reliably produce fish.

The shooting death of a municipal police officer fleeing his assailants was one of eight homicides registered in Tijuana in less than 24 hours, authorities reported Thursday.
Ricardo Salgado Hernández, 36, had finished his shift and was heading home in his personal vehicle about 7 a.m. Thursday when he was attacked in the Colonia Leandro Valle neighborhood of southern Tijuana, authorities said.
The assailants' green Ford Explorer struck the policeman's white Honda, according to the Baja California Attorney General's Office. The officer ran but was unable to escape.
Salgado had worked for the Tijuana municipal police since 1998. His fellow officers detained one suspect Thursday, but authorities did not discuss a possible motive for the shooting.
The most recent killings marked an unusually violent stretch in Tijuana, which has seen a drop in violent crime. Last year's homicide total of 364 was the lowest since 2007.
The most recent killings, which occurred between 10 a.m. Wednesday and 7 a.m. Thursday, brought this year's death toll to 14.
Tijuana police said the crimes follow a pattern of post-holiday spikes in violence in the city that occur early in the new year. "We've felt felt that the return of some criminals from their home states could lead to an increase," Tijuana Police Chief Alberto Capella told reporters Thursday. He said his department is taking additional measures in high-crime areas.
The majority of the killings were related to disputes between neighborhood drug dealers, said Jorge Aguirre Carbajal, a coordinator in the organized crime unit of the state attorney general's office.

DJI Phantom Battery Life Review
Posted on January 02 2016
One of the most essential components to any drone is the battery, as there's not a whole lot you can do with a quadcopter without one. How long it takes the battery to charge, how easy it is to use, and how much "juice" it provides the drone all factor in when reviewing said battery. With that in mind let's take a deeper look at the Phantom drone battery as created by esteemed drone manufacturer DJI:
Charging the Battery
If you want the flight time DJI promises with the Phantom 3, you'll need to charge the battery for an hour or more. Trying to fly the quadcopter on a battery that isn't fully charged….well, this is how drones end up stuck in trees. (Perhaps drones will replace cats as the thing firefighters have to pull from trees in the future?)
Using the Battery
When reading about the Phantom 3 on the DJI website, you'll notice the brand promising 20 to 25 minutes of flight time on a fully-charged battery. However, the actual flight time is more along the lines of 15 minutes because of the weight of the drone
Backup Batteries
It's a good idea to purchase more than one battery and other drone accessories before using your drone. Two backup batteries is the recommended number, as the drone doesn't offer a lot of flight time. With two backup batteries, you can simply switch one for another and enjoy longer flight sessions. A portable battery charger is also recommended if you plan on using your Phantom 1 for longer stretches of time.
An excellent quadcopter for drone newbies, the Phantom 1 isn't as advanced as its "sequels," however it's still a very high quality drone to enjoy.

McLaren test driver Oliver Turvey says he feels sure that former rival Sergio Perez will be a strong addition to the Woking-based team

Test driver Oliver Turvey says he feels former rival Sergio Perez will be a worthy addition to the McLaren line-up for the 2013 F1 season.
Perez joins McLaren this season after the departure of Lewis Hamilton and will partner Jenson Button in a race seat, with Turvey again holding a test driver position with the Woking-based team alongside a racing programme with JOTA Sport in the European Le Mans Series.
The pair are no strangers to each other having gone head-to-head in both British F3 and GP2.
Turvey has the upper hand when the duo found themselves in contention for the 2008 British F3 title, finishing second to Jaime Alguersuari with Perez fourth, while in GP2, Perez finished four spots higher than Turvey during the 2010 campaign, where he was second to Pastor Maldonado.
"I raced against Sergio when we were in British F3, and I beat him in the championship!" the Cumbrian racer said. "I also raced against him in GP2, so I know Sergio very well and have a lot of respect for him as a driver. He is very quick and also a very good racer as he showed at Sauber; particularly last season. I'm looking forward to working with and we have a strong team for the season ahead."
Turvey himself is set to see any on-track opportunities limited for the season ahead, but said he was excited by the prospect of helping with development of McLaren's 2013 car in the simulator.
"There is limited testing for everyone," he said, "but this season there is one less test as the Mugello session that I drove in last year has been dropped, so there aren't many opportunities. Hopefully I'll get a run in the Young Driver Test but I'm in the simulator every week. Ten years ago I'd have been on the track instead but we are carrying out the same investigations and its great to be helping with the development of the car.
"The work we do in the simulator is all very unseen, but it's an interesting role to have with my engineering background and something I enjoy. I'm happy to help in the development of the car and as I was coming through single-seaters I looked up at McLaren so I'm fortunate to be one of their drivers."

This is brutally honest, but I've always had trouble trusting beautiful women. I just can't seem to get over the fact that their options are too numerous. The result is that I'm with a cute, smart, wonderful gal, but—well, she's just not that hot. I love her but her looks don't turn me on as much as I wish they did. I know I've made this bed so I should just lay in it. But how do I keep myself from looking at other, hotter women and wondering "What if...?"
He Said: You might start by questioning your assumption that beautiful women are untrustworthy. Just because someone has plenty of options does not mean she is untrustworthy. In fact, good-looking people want honest, long-term relationships just like everyone else. You say you are dating a wonderful gal. Yet you are contemplating leaving her the moment you can snag someone better looking. Now that is untrustworthy behavior.
Finally, I'd spend some time thinking about your definition of "hot." Beauty, as they say, is only skin deep. While everyone wants a sexy partner, it is important to not lose sight of other virtues. After all, looks fade, but character is forever.
She Said: That was indeed brutally honest, not to mention politically incorrect. But to be fair, who can say from whence these little neuroses of ours issue forth? We're human and flawed. Men are visual creatures. It's important to define what you mean when you say her looks don't turn you on enough. Do you abstractedly wish she were sexier in a "wouldn't that be nice" kind of way? Or do her looks actually turn you off? There's a big difference. If it's the latter, I don't even recommend you try getting over it. Rather, do her a favor, leave now, and face your lifelong fear of beautiful women. Go ahead, try your luck. See what else you can get and how you do at handling it.
But if it's the former, then I want to leave you with a seemingly unrelated little story from a memoir called Thanks for Coming: One Young Women's Quest for an Orgasm, by Mara Altman. You don't need to rush out and buy it—the overall gist probably wouldn't interest you. But listen up. Mara interviewed her 80-something grandparents about their sexuality. Turns out Grandma and Grandpa had it going on. Soon after marrying during WWII, they were routinely having simultaneous orgasms. Grandma's gynecologist told her, "In the bedroom, anything goes," and she took that advice to heart. About a decade ago, they stopped having sex because Grandpa developed erectile dysfunction, but they are as affectionate and in love as ever. When Mara asked her grandmother if she still had orgasms, she replied, "If I wanted to, I would, but I don't want to … I like to do it with Grandpa."
A cute, outdated story from a time when love and sex were simpler? Or a little gem of truth? Think on it.

The Flashcrackers - Fictional Band, Solid Premise
Fell In Oceans
I think the chorus is one of the best things I've ever written. First (and only?) guitar solo since playing in Canter in '92.
Dream Tonight
The first Flashcrackers track. Written from the bassline. The rest is bits hanging on it.
Loud Guitars and Lucky Stars
It's not fair to the song to place too much importance on it, but this marks a return to producing completed songs. It was sketched out almost three years ago, right after finishing Blue Skies. I tried versions of this and some other abandoned tunes using the guitar, piano, bass arrangement, but it was becoming forced. Two guitar rock is in my veins.
Blues Skies Not Black Chemicals
Written while my wife was pregnant with our twin girls. Hastily finished on very little sleep at the end of my time off work after the girls were born.
The Flashcrackers started out consisting of guitar, piano, bass, drums and vocal. I had been writing a lot of "whatever I wanted" and the fictional band premise dictated a consistent set of instruments to write for - something I hadn't had since Curbside Journal.
We have recently fired our piano player and returned to a double axe attack!!

The Guam Humanities Council has partnered with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, Museum on Main Street (MoMS) program to bring to Guam the national exhibit, Journey Stories. As part of the tour, the Council has developed a local companion exhibit with complementary programs entitled, Sindålu – Chamorro Journeys in the U.S. Military, to explore the many significant and oftentimes unrecognized journeys of Chamorro men and women who currently serve or have served in the U.S. Military. A collection of interviews and past narratives, personal images and artifacts, as well as historical and contemporary photographs and film are presented to illustrate the rich and multifaceted stories of Chamorros in service. The Council worked with Chamorro scholar and historian Dr. Michael Lujan Bevacqua to develop the Guam-focused exhibit.
The Council has also partnered with the Isla Center for the Arts and the University of Guam to present the second venue of the exhibit tour with programs. A public opening will be held on Thursday, August 28 at 6:30 p.m., at the Isla Center for the Arts, #15 Dean's Circle, University of Guam. The exhibit will be open weekly, Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., and will be closed Sundays and holidays.

110th CONGRESS
1st Session
October 16, 2007
Mr. Gilchrest introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources
To prohibit the commercial harvesting of Atlantic menhaden for reduction purposes in the coastal waters and the exclusive economic zone.
Prohibition on commercial harvesting of menhaden
It is unlawful to engage in, or to attempt to engage in, the commercial harvesting of Atlantic menhaden for reduction purposes in the Atlantic coastal waters or in the exclusive economic zone established by Proclamation Numbered 5030, dated March 10, 1983.
Any person who is found by the Secretary of Commerce after notice and an opportunity for a hearing in accordance with section 554 of title 5, United States Code, to have committed an act that is unlawful under subsection (a), is liable to the United States for a civil penalty. The amount of the civil penalty may not exceed $1,000 for each violation. Each day of continuing violation constitutes a separate offense. The amount of the civil penalty shall be assessed by the Secretary of Commerce by written notice. In determining the amount of the penalty, the Secretary of Commerce shall take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the prohibited act committed and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior violations, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.
Subsections (b) through (e) of section 308 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1858(b)–(e); relating to review of civil penalties; acting upon failure to pay assessment, compromise, and subpoenas) shall apply to penalties assessed under paragraph (1) to the same extent and in the same manner as if those penalties were assessed under subsection (a) of such section.
Civil forfeitures
Any vessel (including its gear, equipment, appurtenances, stores, and cargo) used, and any fish (or the fair market value thereof) taken or retained, in any manner, in connection with, or the result of, the commission of any act that is unlawful under subsection (a), is subject to forfeiture to the United States. All or part of the vessel may, and all such fish (or the fair market value thereof) shall, be forfeited to the United States under a civil proceeding described in paragraph (2). The district courts of the United States have jurisdiction over proceedings under this subsection.
Subsections (c) through (e) of section 310 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1860(c)–(e); relating to judgment, procedure, and rebuttable presumptions) shall apply with respect to proceedings for forfeiture commenced under this subsection to the same extent and in the same manner as if the proceeding were commenced under subsection (a) of such section.
A person authorized by the Secretary of Commerce or the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating may take any action to enforce this section that an officer authorized under section 311 of the Magnuson Act (16 U.S.C. 1861) may take to enforce that Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). Either such Secretary may, by agreement, on a reimbursable basis or otherwise, utilize the personnel, services, equipment (including aircraft and vessels), and facilities of any other Federal department or agency and of any agency of a State in carrying out that enforcement.
Action by Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission shall promptly take action to amend the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Menhaden Amendment 1, dated July 2001, to take into account the prohibition established under section 2 on the commercial harvesting of menhaden in coastal waters.
Not later than 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, shall submit to Congress a report on—
the progress the Commission has made toward understanding the structure of the Atlantic menhaden population on the Atlantic Coast of the United States and in the Chesapeake Bay;
the role of such population as a filter feeder and prey species for predatory fish in the Chesapeake Bay and in coastal ecosystems;
the impact on the Atlantic coastal and Chesapeake Bay ecosystems of commercial harvesting of menhaden for reduction; and
its recommendations for future sustainable management of such harvesting.
Coastal waters defined
As used in this Act,
the term
coastal waters has the meaning that term has in section
3 of the Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act (Public Law 98–613; 16 U.S.C.
1851 note), as in effect on the date of the enactment of this Act.

Skin Fruit, curated by Jeff Koons
Skin Fruit: Selections from the Dakis Joannou Collection
Curated by Jeff Koons
Skin Fruit will be the first exhibition in the United States of the Athens-based Dakis Joannou Collection, renowned as one of the leading collections of contemporary art in the world. This will also be the first exhibition curated by Koons, whose early work inspired the evolution of the Joannou collection.
Skin Fruit will include over 100 works by 50 international artists spanning several generations. Focusing on the body in contemporary art, the exhibition will spotlight the age-old preoccupation with the human form as a vessel of and vehicle for experience. Koons's title Skin Fruit alludes to notions of genesis, evolution, original sin, and sexuality. Skin and fruit evoke the essential tensions between interior and exterior, between what we see and what we consume.
Starting with the first, now-legendary exhibitions, such as Artificial Nature and Post Human, at his DESTE Foundation's non-profit museum in Athens, Dakis Joannou has focused on works that present a new image of man. It is no coincidence that his collection developed in the cultural context of Greece, where Classical sculpture defined the Western canon of anatomical representation. Artists have arrived at a much more uncertain image of mankind in this new century, in which bodies are still idealized but also are assaulted by forces of our own making. Joannou's collection is comprised of more than 1,500 works by 400 contemporary artists, from the most eminent to those just emerging. For Skin Fruit, Koons has selected sculptures, works on paper, paintings, installations, and videos by a group of artists including David Altmejd, Janine Antoni, Matthew Barney, Ashley Bickerton, Nathalie Djurberg, Robert Gober, Mike Kelley, Terence Koh, Mark Manders, Paul McCarthy, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Christiana Soulou, Jannis Varelas, Kara Walker, Andro Wekua and Franz West, among others.
The show will also premiere new works such as Charles Ray's re-envisioned Revolution Counter-Revolution (1990/2010); a new public installation of Jenny Holzer's Selections from the Survival Series (1984); and a special 3-D book project by Italian artist Robert Cuoghi, and will include living sculptures by Pawel Althamer and Tino Sehgal. Skin Fruit will feature only one work by Koons–his One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (1985)–the first major artwork that Dakis Joannou acquired, initiating the collection that would grow to be one of the world's finest. Within the context of the exhibition this influential object, with its both familiar and mysterious orb suspended in fluid, becomes a womb, a point of origin and of departure. The installation for "Skin Fruit" has been conceived by Koons as a kind of panorama, with frequent shifts in scale and unconventional juxtapositions. Role-playing games and dramas occur: a man will stage a religious ritual; a sculpture literally sings out; white chocolate monuments tower above visitor's heads; voracious creatures eat themselves and each other while bodies are buried or frozen; icons and deities are adored or dethroned.
For more information on the exhibition and gallery opening times, visit the New Museum.

Hawks rookie Dennis Schroder has been suspended one game for "striking DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings in the groin," the league announced on Thursday.
The suspension is warranted, of course, but the most incredible part of the play was the fact that the referees didn't feel the need to whistle Schroder for the foul. Now, the closest official may have been shielded from seeing what happened by Jason Thompson, and the referees probably hate Cousins, at least in his eyes.

The Ides of March Bode Well for Theatre on the California Central Coast!

"The Avengers" and "Iron Man 3" are two of the most highly successful films in the past two years and Robert Downey, Jr. has all the money from his stints as Iron Man/Tony Stark in those flicks as well as the previous two films in the Iron Man franchise – so it can be safe to assume that he saw many million perfectly good reasons to agree to reprise his role for two more "Avengers" films in the future. RDJ has agreed to be terms with Disney/Marvel to appear as Iron Man/Tony Stark in "Avengers 2" and the as yet untitled third film in the Avengers franchise. "Avengers" and "Iron Man 3" currently sit at #27 and #96, respectively, on the all-time highest grossing films when adjusted for inflation.].
"Avengers 2" is currently scheduled for a May 1, 2015 release.

Secondhand smoke from cigarettes is dangerous, and this broadcast discusses how long it takes for someone else's cigarette smoke to affect your body.
Download (PDF–39 KB)
WOMAN: The following commercial about the dangers of secondhand smoke will last sixty seconds. Which is about as long as it takes for someone else's cigarette smoke to initiate a chain of events that can affect your body. And, we're not referring to symptoms like sneezing, coughing, or watery eyes. We're talking about biological changes. According to the most recent scientific studies, smoke enters the body where it travels into the lungs and thickens the blood allowing it to clot more easily. Blood vessels then constrict forcing the heart to work harder to deliver oxygen to the body. We will probably never know if this sixty second commercial has changed your mind about secondhand smoke. But, we do know that if you were standing next to a smoker while you were listening, their smoke has begun to change your body.

Secondhand smoke from cigarettes is dangerous, and this broadcast discusses its effects and how it can be avoided.
Snuff Out Smoking
This podcast is presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDC—safer, healthier people.
Many people in the United States smoke without ever lighting up. Smoke is dangerous whether you inhale it from a cigarette or breathe it from the air where others around you are smoking.
Secondhand smoke contains more than 50 chemicals that can cause cancer and heart disease among non-smoking adults. In children, it worsens asthma and causes ear infections. It can even cause sudden infant death syndrome.
Many states have outlawed smoking in public places, such as worksites, restaurants, and bars. However, several states still have no restrictions on smoking.
Only completely smoke free environments can fully protect your health. Protect yourself and your family by avoiding secondhand smoke exposure whenever possible.
Thank you for joining us on a Minute of Health, with CDC.

TWO surveys are being carried out in Ryedale to assess whether affordable homes are needed for local people.
The studies are taking place in the Slingsby and Burythorpe parishes after Ryedale District Council's housing manager, Kim Robertshaw, recently highlighted the risk of small village schools closing if families and young people were unable to find accommodation within their price range.
School rolls are falling in Ryedale at the moment, but are forecast to increase in the near future.
Kim said: "Villages face a slow death without local people, young and old, being able to access affordable housing."
Anybody in the two parishes who needs housing and wants to stay in the communities should phone Ryedale's rural housing enabler, Colin Huby, on 01653 600666 extension 354.
Alternatively, they can email email@example.com to obtain a questionnaire.

In 1870, three old school friends – Tom Pelham, Arthur Kinnaird and Quintin Hogg – were so moved by the poverty around them, they felt they had to do something about it. They founded an organisation called Homes for Working Boys.
At the same time, another group of philanthropists – the Reverend Prebendary Gage-Brown and parishioner Constance Allen – formed the Fellowship of St Christopher to house the homeless and jobless men living rough in London.
In the 1940s the Fellowship identified another group who needed help towards a better future, and began to accept young offenders.
The Second World War presented new difficulties for St Christopher's and the Homes for Working Boys. Some of their properties were taken over as accommodation for soldiers, and others were destroyed in the Blitz. In spite of this, both organisations managed to provide housing for young men who needed it. Large numbers of these residents went on to fight for their country. Many were decorated for their bravery and one young man received the highest honour, the Victoria Cross.
After the war, William Beveridge, one of the architects of the welfare state, cited both the Fellowship of St Christopher and the Homes for Working Boys as models of the role that voluntary societies could play. He praised their independence, initiative and flexibility, and saw them as central to the full development of the welfare state.
In 1967 the two organisations merged to form today's St Christopher's Fellowship. Its first priority was to provide staffed homes and hostels for children and young people in local authority care.
In the 1970s St Christopher's launched its first leaving care projects, providing independent flats with 24-hour support, and in 1976 it was registered as a housing association, extending its support to more young homeless people.
In 1980 St Christopher's opened its first supported housing project.Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, St Christopher's continued to expand and develop its supported housing for vulnerable young people. New houses were bought and partnerships established with larger housing associations and local authorities.

It's known as the Great Arctic Cyclone, and when it roared out of Siberia last August, storm watchers knew it was unusual. Hurricane-like storms are very common in the Arctic, but the most powerful of them (which are still far less powerful than tropical hurricanes) tend to come in winter. It wasn't clear at the time, however, whether the August storm was truly unprecedented.
Now it is. A study published in Geophysical Research Letters looks at no fewer than 19,625 Arctic storms and concludes that in terms of size, duration and several other of what the authors call "key cyclone properties," the Great Cyclone was the most extreme summer storm, and the 13th most powerful storm -- summer or winter -- since modern satellite observations began in 1979.
Although it came during a season when Arctic sea ice was plunging toward its lowest levels on record, the authors couldn't establish that the unusually large areas of open ocean contributed to the storm's intensity.
On the flip side, they do argue that the storm contributed significantly to the breakup of the ice, and ultimately, to the record-low minimum extent of sea ice covering the Arctic.

JERUSALEM (Sep. 17)
Brig. Chaim Laskov, Chief of Staff of the Israel armed forces, told a meeting of military correspondents that Israel was building a military training center in the Negev which would contribute to the security of the Negev and at the same time help to populate it.
Declaring that the Israel Army is always on the alert and ready for any war that might break out, the Chief of Staff said that while another encounter with the Arabs would be more difficult than was the Sinai campaign, he was certain that the Israel army would win.

'Mad Men' Recap: 'Lady Lazarus' [PHOTOS]
Megan (Jessica Pare) rocks at advertising. Last week she nailed the Heinz campaign and Don was on cloud 9. This week however, Megan lies to Peggy and Don so she can go to an acting audition. Peggy confronts her about this and suggests that Megan bails on the ad business because she doesn't appreciate it.
Our immediate assumption is that Don will flip when Megan tells him the news about her acting dreams, but he is surprisingly accepting and even though it feels like a wary attempt to make wife number two happy, it feels sincere. Remember when Betty tried to go back to modeling and Don shut that down? At least he is trying to evolve. The next day Megan reluctantly tells Peggy and the team her news and Don has Joan handle the departure by taking the girls to lunch.
Peggy is relieved at Megan's departure because she is direct competition, but aghast that she would abandon it so readily. Joan (Christina Hendicks) mentions that Megan is just like Betty, both wives were picture perfect women with little to no realization of how normal people survive. The episode was named 'Lady Lazarus', perhaps after the Sylvia Plath poem which uses themes like death, rebirth, and rising from the ashes to avoid being pegged down by societal expectations. This season has been really keen on telling them women's stories and showing how out of touch the men really are. Megan's reinvention of herself is like a rebirth. All of these women defy labels, even if they are forced to adhere to them on the surface. Little Sally is even portraying a pretty compelling story.
Pete just doesn't get it. He has been through the wringer this season, first by getting shown up by Don, having his face pounded in by a Brit, getting rejected by high school girls, and failing miserably at having affairs. He is attempting to be the new Don, but failing miserably. He sleeps with his friend Howard's wife Beth (Alexis Bledel), but she turns the tables on him and uses him for sex, making him desperately call her. At episode's end she avoids his advances, but draws a heart on the car window before driving off with her husband. Pete mentioned suicide at one point, talking about his life insurance policy, but we shouldn't write that off as coincidence. Pete is heading toward shit city and Jesus needs to take the wheel before it ends badly.
Mr. Belding from Saved By The Bell made a hefty appearance while Peggy and Don tried to replay the cute exchange the team had invented for Cool Whip. But the chemistry wasn't there now that Megan is gone and the two blew up at one another. Peggy told Don to "Shut up", which was super awesome. Their friendship is one of the best things about this series.
In the end, Megan gives Don The Beatles album 'Revolver' and advises him to play 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. This is similar to Roger's experience on LSD. It's a capitalist, success driven older male trying to connect with a younger generation's need to be free and it isn't making any sense to people like Don or Roger. The Beatles wrote this song during their Timothy Leary phase and it couldn't be further from Don's wave length than anything else in his life. Remember when Don liked a different Beatles song because Megan had been singing it? Without her, Don feels lost in a world of the unknown. After she leaves the office in an elevator, Don tries to catch the next one only to find an empty elevator shaft. It's reminiscent to the falling man we see in the open credits. Don doesn't even finish the song because he is so perplexed and he walks out of an empty living room.
The 60's are asking people to 'surrender to the void' and it is something these characters are struggling with every single week. Watching it unfold is both amazing and mind blowing.
