Shows That Go On Forever
I know this is old news but The Simpsons has a bucket load of episodes. (A bucket load is equal to roughly 500 episodes) Now I used to be one of those people who said they'd seen ever episode but by now I don't think I've seen half! On the other had I just watched episode 256 of Naruto Shippuden and before that there were another 220 episodes before it. Why is that?
Why I stopped watching The Simpsons
1. They wanted to stop. Remember when Futurama showed up?! The idea was that Futurama was eventually going to replace The Simpsons and it made perfect sense. The creators were getting a little tired, but more importantly Futurama was designed to be a longer lasting version of The Simpsons. Futurama can have an infinite number of possibilities, just travel to a new planet, create a new futuristic device. The Simpsons ran out of rational story lines years ago.
2. Re-writing history. The Simpsons don't age but they've been on television for over two decades. This creates problems, when did Marge and Homer get married. Recently the writers rewrote history to be in-keeping with modern times. That shit is whack.

Glee's Uncanny Valley
I enjoy covers of songs. Having another artist reinterpret a piece of music I already enjoy is a novelty I don't think I'll ever be sick of. Most of the time I'll only need to listen to the cover once because, it is generally a novelty, but on some rare occasions the cover can stand along side it's original counterpart on the every expanding universe that is my playlist. I would consider Glee's version of Don't Stop Believing one such cover. (We can argue over how over-played that Journey song is another time.) And the reason why that song was successful was because they did it a cappella.
I enjoyed Glee at one time. They used songs to drive their stories forward. Arranging songs differently than the originals to make them unique. But one day that all changed. I can't be bothered to find the specific episode but instead of singing a song and doing a dance routine in the halls, the world transformed and the cast of Glee was reenacting the music video of the song.
This last week, for no apparent reason Artie (wheelchair kid) and Mike (asian kid) reenacted Michael Jackson's Scream. For those of you who don't remember, Scream was directed by Mark Ronmanek and has the infamous title of being the most expensive music video of all time (7 million dollars). Now Glee did not have 7 million dollars to spend on their version of the song but it actually looked shocking close. But that's the problem, too close.
The whole time I was watching I was comparing it to the original. And guess what I concluded. GLEE IS WAY SHITTIER THAN MICHAEL JACKSON! The singing is worse the dancing is worse the sets are worse, everything is worse! I'm not sure when Glee became a cheap knock off. I used to applaud the show for introducing kids to older music but now I fear it's just conditioning them to like sub-quality product.

War really does drive the Economy
I think there is no debate that war fuels economy but games about war do too. Last November's retail sales were up 0.3% from October. That might not sound like much but when the figures are in the billions it is. There was a 29 million increase in stores that sold video games (namely Call of Duty). The only sector that did better then video game sellers was the gas station companies.

Independence Day, Ape Edition
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was not what I was expecting. That's actually a good thing. ROTPOFA (that didn't work out well) was just sitting on my coffee table. Sitting and sitting, I didn't really want to watch it. I was afraid it'd be a Splice kinda situation. Things turning on their human masters. Generally I like humans winning. Could you imagine watching Independence Day and humanity loses at the end?!
"We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"
And then the aliens just nuke the planet. No, I like my humans to win and the title of this film indicates we lose. So no Planet of the Apes I do not want to watch you. But then I did, and it turns out to be a triumphant movie about one ape overcoming the odds for the sake of freedom, for his Independence Day!

Voltron, how much nostalgia is too much?
Couple weeks ago Voltron the game came out on XBLA and PSN. Now I remember that I used to love Voltron. And I mean love Voltron. Get dressed up and punch people in the face love Voltron. Yet, I can't remember a single thing about Voltron besides the fact that we is a giant robot put together by 5 mech-cats and he fights evildoers from space. I don't remember the characters or the plot. I don't remember the vehicle Voltron, non of it. But when I heard there was a game I was excited. I was excited for no good reason. Now I don't want to go into a rational for cashing in on nostalgia and what it's all about but I just want to point out that this game was purely made because of it.
Why? Because Voltron is an inherently flawed premise for a game (or at least one as a downloadable one). It supports 5 player co-op yay! But Voltron is only cool when he merges into one giant robot. ONE! How can you properly have 5 people trying to control one thing!

Choosing a password. 123456
So apparently people still choose dumb passwords like 123456. Other popular choices QWWERTY, trustno1. and various sports like football or basketball. Two that I find kinda hilarious is Dragon and monkey?! I don't know if that's awesome or sad. Also a common name to use as a password is Ashley. So Ashley, you either have dumb and uncreative parents or you're some crazy ass mistress!

Newspapers can be dumb.
Today I picked up the newspaper (yes I still read a physically tangible paper) and read not one but two articles back to back that in my mind were slightly bullshit. The first was talking about the 1% (because of all this 99% business) and how those people are deserving of the money because they are all well educated as opposed to the lower end of the scale who aren't. Well no shit, except it fails to mention that higher education COSTS MONEY!
Article number two is about a hockey player and his girlfriend dressing up as Jay Z and Beyonce. Not too terrible until you find out they colored their skin a la blackface! There was no malicious intent, it was more ignorance than anything. Lots of people are defending what they did which is, whatever. I take issue because the excuse for why they didn't know any better was because they are Canadian and being a hockey player is a very insular environment. They rationalize that Canadians were never taught about Al Jolson and blackface. I remember learning about this in grade 4! We don't have the same issues that America has but we still have things like black history month to at least inform us about basic racial issues.

Sleeping in
I was trying to figure out why for the past several days it's been so hard for me to get out of bed. Then I remembered, I've switched back to the duvet. Sooo comfy. Apparently the duvet is called the doona in Australia. Doona kind of sounds like a tribal music instrument…
Anyway, speaking of the changing of the seasons/it's getting friggn cold out, I was just on the search for a new coat. Something nice and water proof, and warm. I'm convinced that every MEC coat is identical, it also hit me that I'm not really that sporty. So moving onto non-mountainy stores!

2 Broke Girls
A standard 3 camera sitcom revolving around two girls working at a diner. This "odd couple" pairing has a streetwise jaded Kat Dennings and a naïve formerly rich girl working together to make enough money to start a cupcake shop. The gimmick, at the end of the episode they tally how much money they own.
In general you could do a lot worse for a 3 camera sitcom. But it's nothing special, you'll know if this show is for you in 5 minutes.
Hart Heart, get it!
Hart of Dixie stars Rachel Bilson as Zoe Hart, a New York Doctor who moves to small town Alabama to take over her dad's medical practice. The show is Gilmore Girls meets the O.C. Yeah so that pretty much sums it up.
So, let's talk about something else. Creating a characters name to be used for it's title a la Hart of Dixie. Do people think they are clever when they come up with these things?

The Lakers were given a stacked deck for Week 11, taking on the high-scoring Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder without Dwight Howard (shoulder), Pau Gasol (concussion), Jordan Hill (hip) and Steve Blake (abdominal surgery). Predictably, it didn't go well.
Howard's shoulder injury was initially called a torn labrum. He later explained that the labrum wasn't torn but was "separated from the bone," which sounds awful but is actually the better scenario.
Gasol took multiple concussion tests throughout the week but wasn't cleared for the court under the league's stringent guidelines on such matters.
Hill's hip injury has proved to be serious. Surgery will take him out for the season, leaving him shocked and devastated.
With Hill going down, the Lakers could be eligible for a $1.78-million disabled-player exception. General Manager Mitch Kupchak comment: "We'll look into it."
Last week's games didn't go especially well for the Lakers.
Steve Nash recorded his 10,000th-career assist in Houston but the Lakers lost to the Rockets, 125-112. The Spurs held off a late charge and a big game from Earl Clark to win in San Antonio, 108-105. The Thunder pounded the Lakers, 116-101.
Howard was finally cleared to play Sunday night against Cleveland, and the Lakers ended their six-game losing streak with a 113-93 win over the Cavaliers.
The main problem for the Lakers this season? Their defense is offensive.
Lakers executive Jim Buss told local radio, "We're not going to panic," despite the team's dismal play. After giving support to Coach Mike D'Antoni, Gasol and the team's roster as a whole, Buss blamed most of the team's problems on bad luck with injuries.
Of course, the question is how much should Buss' words be trusted.
The Lakers waived rookie Darius Johnson-Odom, deciding to keep freshman center Robert Sacre. The team's roster stands at 14 players, one fewer than the league maximum.
Despite their difficulties, the Lakers remain in reach of a top-eight seed, but they need to start winning games regularly.
Off the court, Kobe Bryant and wife Vanessa announced that they've reconciled and are no longer pursuing a divorce.
A YouTube parody from BallerballFilms begged for a team to trade for Gasol.
Nash joined Magic Johnson and Chris Paul in an NBA ad featuring the Clippers point guard.
Finally, Bryant and Howard decided to have a little bit of fun, mocking the story that they nearly came to fisticuffs.

Last weekend I attended the ProZ.com International Conference 2012 in Barcelona. It was really fantastic seeing old friends again and making new ones, and to finally have a chance to see some of the wonders the city of Barcelona has to offer.
The conference was also the opportunity to give my presentation on social media marketing and online reputation – 1 hour is terribly short to cover the topic, but some basics were thrown at the audience and hopefully all attendees got something to chew on. The purpose, as outlined in the introduction, is not to make anyone a Social Media expert (and in an hour, that's impossible), but rather to help translators in the decision-making of investing in that marketing strategy – or not – by giving them as many elements, pros and cons as possible to help them decide whether it's something their own business could use/need - and of course, for those who decide it may be something for them, make them curious to find out more and take the next step.
The presentation felt relaxed and was quite interactive. I don't like to push the Q/A at the very end, attendees can just interrupt me if they want to rebounce on something I just said. IMO it is simply more comfortable and informal that way. Hopefully people feel this as well, because it not only creates a relaxed atmosphere, but it also makes the presentation more lively and ultimately (hopefully) fun. And well, egoistically, I have to admit it's much more fun for me as it makes each presentation different from the previous one and the audience has often really interesting, original and unexpected questions, comments or experiences to share. So, no routine. As always, I wish it could have gone on for another 3 hours – and hope attendees do as well! ;)
A really big thank you to all of you for our attention and patience, I hope you all left the room with a clearer idea of this wide Internet marketing world and some (more) elements at hands to make your decision – if that's the case, then I did the job in Barcelona (if that's not the case, feel free to contact me via e-mail and shout at me ;))
Anyway, here is the pdf of the presentation, feel free to download it: Barcelona_Conference_SMM_Presentation
An interesting thing happened during the session and in the plane back from Barcelona – or at least I consider those thoughts interesting. It occured to me that, compared to a year ago, I was focusing less on actual Social Media and always more on SEO, online reputation / online presence – that was the case at the Germersheim University a few weeks ago when I gave that same presentation and, to an extent, at the conference in Warsaw in April. This is definitely material for a future article (and sooner than later), but for the past 3-4 months, it seems social networks themselves are loosing the importance they had a year ago in online marketing – they are still important, no questioning that, but SEO and online image in general seem to grow more and more important. Social sites actually always were SEO and online reputation tools but this was maybe not always clear, or hidden behind the WOW factor of social sites. I have this feeling that perspectives are changing – client don't ask "How can I be on Facebook for my business?" anymore because it's Facebook and it's hype. They ask today "Why would I be on Facebook for my business?".
Interesting shift in perspectives here – but again, this is material for a future article.
In the meantime a big thank you to Patricia for the organization of this great conference, and a big thank you to all – it was simply fantastic being there with all of you. See you next year at the Porto 2013 Conference!

Back To Recruiting
Breaking News: Nkemdiche Chooses Clemson
By Matthew Osborne
Follow us at Twitter.com/SouthernPigskin. Become a fan at the SouthernPigskin.com Facebook Page
Robert Nkemdiche, the nation's top prospect, gave his verbal commitment to the Clemson Tigers today.
We reported earlier today that fans should look out for the Clemson Tigers in the recruitment of the nation's No. 1 prospect, Robert Nkemdiche. (Tigers Making a Push for Nkemdiche: http://www.southernpigskin.com/Recruiting/view/tigers-making-a-push-for-nkemdiche)
As it turns out, less than 12 hours later, Nkemdiche gave his verbal commitment to Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers.
This is huge news for the Tigers, whose defense gave up 70 points in a disappointing Orange Bowl loss to West Virginia last season, ultimately leading to the departure of defensive coordinator Kevin Steele.
Nkemdiche, who is now the third Grayson High School prospect in the class of 2013 to commit to the Tigers, is projected to play defensive end in new defensive coordinator Brent Venables' scheme.
The Tigers now have eight verbal commitment in the class of 2013.

Levitra frequently asked questions
Does the name of the drug Levitra mean anything?
We cannot say actually what Levitra means, still some people guess that Levitra is derived from the noun levitation – floating. It can mean that Levitra helps to elevate, lift up or levitate a penis of a man with ED problems for sex. Other people suggest that the word comes from the Latin word vita which means life.
What are the most common side effects of Levitra?
Actually Levitra is one of the safest ED medications available now. It produces practically no side effects in most men. The most common side effects of Levitra are headaches, flushing in the face, nausea and cold like symptoms. The occurrence of side effects depends on the dosage of Levitra a patient takes. Levitra in low doses causes no or mild side effects. Larger doses may increase the possibility of side effects occurrence. If the drug is used properly a person eliminates the chances of side effects. When a person uses Levitra regularly his body gets used to Levitra action and the side effects get reduced in most cases but not in all.
How long does Levitra last?
According to the manufacturer and the FDA trials Levitra lasts around 5 hours. Still some men say that the drug can last 12 hours and more before the effects start to decrease gradually. Some men with mild form of erectile dysfunction claim that they can still have Levitra effects the next day after the dose but it is not usual. A person who starts taking Levitra should watch for what effects Levitra has on his organism and find out how long the medication lasts for him individually.
Can I take Levitra with other medications?
If a person regularly takes other medications for other unrelated conditions and wants to start the treatment of his ED with Levitra he should visit a doctor and ask him if he can use Levitra safely with other drugs he uses. Levitra may interact with other medications. It is necessary to find out if it interacts with the medications you use.
Levitra cardiovascular effects
Levitra serious or fatal cardiovascular effects were rare. Special warnings are made to the patients with a recent MI (myocardial infarction), stroke, arrhythmia, hypotension (lower than 90mm Hg resting SBP –systolic blood pressure) or hypertension (170/110 mm Hg SBP/DBP diastolic blood pressure). Also patients with severe heart failure and unstable angina are not recommended to use Levitra for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Vardenafil has certain vasodilatory activity, so the use of Levitra is not recommended in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease having hypotension. These patients could be seriously affected by blood pressure lowering effects of vardenafil. The risk of vasodilatory response in patients with left-ventricular outflow obstruction is a matter of concern, these patients should be warned about possible side effects of Levitra.
Hypotensive effect of Levitra with nitrate-based medications may result in fatal hypotension in patients taking nitrates with any PDE5 inhibitors including Levitra. The possibility of hypotension effect exists in patients taking alpha-blockers with vardenafil. So the manufacturer of the drug warns that the concomitant use of Levitra with nitrates or alpha-blockers is contraindicated.
Levitra drug interactions
Like all other PDE5 inhibitors Levitra (vardenafil) interacts with other medications and can cause potentially dangerous conditions if take with certain medicines. Vardenafil should not be used with any form of nitrate medication and medications for lowering blood pressure. The concomitant use of Levitra with these drugs may cause serious health conditions.
Levitra should not be used with similar medications like Viagra, Cialis, Staxyn and Stendra.
Levitra may interact with other medications. These interactions may increase the chance of side effects of vardenafil, reduce or increase the therapeutic effects of Levitra.
Before using Levitra consult your doctor, tell him about all other medicines you take, including:
· Vaprison;
· Gleevec;
· Isoniazid;
· Nefazodone;
· Biazin, Synercid, EryPed, Ery-Tab, Pediazole, Ketek;
· Antifungal medications;
· Cardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac, Cardene, Calan, Covera, Verelan for treating blood pressure and heart disease;
· Cordarone, Pacerone, Procan, Pronestyl for treating heart rhythm problems;
· Other medications.
Levitra may interact with alcohol. It is not recommended to use large amounts of alcohol before taking this medication. Ask your doctor about the amount of alcohol you may use.
Levitra mechanism of action
Levitra's main component is vardenafil – a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) with the prior selectivity for PDE type 5. PDE type 5 is the chief isoenzyme required in the metabolism of cGMP to GMP in the corpora cavernosa of the penile tissue.
Vardenafil enhances the nitric oxide effects by restricting PDE type 5 mediated hydrolysis of cGMP. The increase of cGMP happens with sexual stimulation. The medication improves the generation of cGMP, but without sexual stimulation no effect on sexual function will be achieved.
The medication has shown moderate peripheral vasodilation during clinical studies. This vasodilation leads to insignificant increase in the heart rate if the medication is taken in the prescribed dosages.
Vardenafil has lower likeness than Sildenafil (Viagra) for PDE type 5 receptor in the retina, still it may cause visual changes in patients with certain eye conditions.
Levitra side effects
Levitra may cause side effects from different body systems. Most common adverse effects of Levitra are headaches, flushing, rhinitis and dyspepsia. The medication may cause allergic reactions such as hives, swelling of different parts of the body, problems with breathing.
Sexual activity may enlarge the load on the heart and provoke heart attack. If you feel that something is wrong during sexual activity, stop and call your doctor right away.
Levitra is generally well tolerated, but minor and moderate side effects can occur. They include:
· Redness of the face, neck or chest;
· Back pain;
· Stomach pain;
· Stuffy nose;
· Stomach upset;
· Dizziness;
· Nausea.
In case serious side effects appear, it is important to get emergency medical help immediately:
· Vision loss;
· Hearing problems and hearing loss;
· Severe chest pain, the symptoms of heart attack or stroke;
· Irregular heartbeat;
· Priapism;
· Convulsions.
Levitra dosing information
The usual dose for adults (older than 18) to treat ED is 10 mg of the drug taken orally when needed. The tablet is to be used one hour before sexual intercourse. The medication should not be used in men who have serious cardiovascular status or advised to avoid sexual activity for some time.
Only one dose of the drug should be taken in 24 hour-period. Sexual stimulation is necessary to have natural response to the treatment.
The medication is not used in women or children.
The medication is to be used in geriatric patients (older than 65 years) with caution. It is recommended to start with 5 mg dose for older patients and for those males who may be hypersensitive to the drug.
How to take and store Levitra properly
The result of the treatment greatly depends on how you use the medication. If you follow the directions of your doctor or on the prescription label you will most certainly receive only beneficial results from the treatment. Otherwise you may have experience serious adverse reactions of the drug.
Levitra should be taken with water, with or without food. The medication is to be used when necessary, about an hour before sex is initiated. You need to be sexual aroused to achieve an erection. Ask your doctor for more information.
Store the medication at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. Keep away from children.
Levitra special warnings
Levitra is a FDA approved medication for use in males with impotence. It is a prescription medication and should be used only as your doctor directs you. If you use the medication improperly you may experience unpleasant and even dangerous side effects.
Certain warnings are made by FDA about PDE5 inhibitors to which Levitra belongs. FDA alarms patients taking these medications about serious side effects which happen rarely but are dangerous for health and may lead to life-threatening conditions. These conditions require immediate medical help. They are:
- Priapism condition;
- Vision loss in one or both eyes;
- Hearing loss;
- Heart attack.
Prior to taking Levitra
Levitra is a famous brand medication known for its high efficacy in the treatment for impotence in men. Levitra is available in different online pharmacies without prescription, so you can buy it without any difficulty or troubles.

Topics: Partnerships
Amway, a leading global direct-selling firm, is committed to creating a performance driven culture that facilitates employee development. In 2008, Amway Global Learning & Development discovered a significant gap in the people leadership skills among first-line leaders. They also realized there was no global support network for first-line leaders, limited hands-on experiences to build people leadership skills, and no common language or approach around leadership at Amway. They recognized that this situation was negatively affecting employee engagement and performance, and that they had to address it quickly.
Amway's Global L&D decided a new learning program was needed, which they named the Global Leadership Certification Program (GLCP). The goal of the GLCP was to teach first-line leaders the core, common, and critical people-leadership skills necessary to engage, motivate and manage others. They opted to design and implement this program through a cooperative relationship with Davenport University and Harvard Business Publishing. Harvard Business Publishing provided program content, while Davenport University provided support with program design and delivery, as well as content. This three-way partnership resulted in a 7 month certification program that included – in both live and online environments – a knowledge and skills curricula, hands-on application, peer networking and coaching.
"I'm grateful to be in this network. The calls I had with other members gave me the information I needed to move my project forward."
Annette RollsLeadership Development Program Designer, Boeing
"We were able to realize almost immediate value—in terms of definitively quantifiable savings—by implementing the concepts introduced during this [Art of Negotiation] program."
Ken MurphyEVP of Sales and Operations, Mattress Firm
"In my particular case, I certainly care about the HR functions, but that's not why I wake up every day. I care about advancing the ball down the field with our people's professional development skills and knowledge. You guys focus 100% on the learning piece, and that's what I like."

When Christina Caldwell moved back to her native Miami after living out west for six years, she planned to remain. But after two years of dead-end jobs as a bartender and receptionist, she left for California for good. She now makes more than $100,000 a year at a post-production company in Venice Beach.
I would never, ever move back to Miami, she says.
Christina is not alone: South Florida is losing young people in droves, according to recent national and local studies. The areas high unemployment rate, lack of innovative jobs and huge income gaps have created a perfect storm that many young people are unwilling to wait out.
One study by the Brookings Institute ranks South Florida as fifth among the top five metro areas losing residents in the 25-34 year-old demographic group along with New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The study, released in October, looked at six years worth of data, from 2005-2010, from the Census Bureaus American Community Survey to rank 51 U.S. metropolitan areas by annual average net migration.
See the full-screen version of the map
The Miami Herald asked members of this group why so many opted to leave, using an online database of sources who are part of the Public Insight Network .
There werent that many opportunities here, said Victor Thompson, 33.
Thompson, who grew up in Miami-Dade, went to Florida International University and started his tech career in South Florida at a local Yahoo.com office in Coral Gables.
When he outgrew the local tech industry, he took a position with Sony as lead producer for Crackle Movies en Español, a move that required relocation to California. Hes going in January with his wife and newborn daughter, although somewhat reluctantly.
Its tough to realize that you have to leave your home to stay in your job, he said.
At 10 percent, South Floridas unemployment rate is much higher than the countrys 8.6 percent, making it more difficult for first-time job seekers to penetrate the local job market.
The area also has one of the smallest shares of tech jobs, lagging most other competing metro areas, according to a study commissioned by Miami-Dades economic development agency, the Beacon Council. The councils study, released earlier this month, also shows that South Florida trails behind in innovation and young professionals.
I cant think of one friend in South Florida who has a successful career, said Lauren Hord, 31, who moved back to Seattle in August after trying to settle in her native South Florida numerous times.
This time, she says, shes not coming back.
All of my high school friends with successful careers are in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, said Hord, who attended Pine Crest, a Broward private school with a stellar reputation.
The Beacon Council study supports Hords conclusion.
Despite South Floridas high concentration of college students, the region has fewer young professionals compared to competing metro areas nationwide. The young professionals who remain have a lower educational attainment than those in most other competing metros. For instance, 27.8 percent of South Floridas residents have a bachelors degree or higher, compared with 37.4 percent in Seattles metro area, according to the Beacon Council study.

May 26, Meadow Lot
Sunday, May 26, 8:00 a.m.
Meet at the Meadow Parking Lot when we run a beautiful course that mixes up a little bit of everything—the Meadow to Blue route. It starts out relatively flat with only a gradual incline then at mile 3.5, hello, we switch to single-track pretty steep uphill before tapering back down. It's a fun course I've been wanting to schedule for a while.
Saturday, May 25, 8:00 a.m.
If you're interested in this Saturday run, meet at the Meadow Lot for the Meadow, Michigan and Museum loop.
Next week we'll be meeting at the Trailside Museum.
Hope to see you out there.

Psychedelic-Colored Tarantulas Discovered
By Michael Frank on November 7th, 2012We're pretty sure this isn't a faked photo, because it's in National Geographic, but if it showed up on Instagram we'd have our doubts. But this is no hoax. It's a newly discovered arachnid, Typhochlaena costae, one of nine colorful — and rare — tree-dwelling tarantula species recently discovered in Brazil, a new study says. Tree-dwelling tarantulas typically have a lithe build, with thinner bodies and longer legs than other tarantulas. This makes them more agile and thus better suited for stalking prey in trees. Like the other new vibrant species, T. costa loses its bright coloration as it grows. No word from the Instituto Butantan in São Paulo, Brazil, which discovered the spiders, on the advantages of being colorful — but scientists are worried that pet collectors will be attracted to the rare species.

With just six girls returning from last year the team is going to have a much different look, but the good news is that with a massive influx of underclassmen the building process seems well under way.
"We might be young this season, but I feel we are definitely going in the right direction. It's going to be a good season. I'm looking forward to it and so are the girls," explained Walker.
"This season got off to a start I wasn't quite expecting. It was interesting to see which returners came back and who didn't. This is going to be a big growing experience for everyone involved, but I feel good about where we are at."
One big blow to the Bearettes will be the loss of starting goalkeeper Lydia Brown, who will be participating in a "Virtual School," which will not permit her to take the pitch this season.
Utility player Mikala Ard will move from the backfield to between the goalposts. While Ard played mostly defender last season she has experience in many different positions including keeper.
Striker Alexia Hubbard will still be charging the opposing net for the Bearettes, but she is one of a few carryovers from last season.
"It feels like this is basically a brand new team. We only had the six returning players. All the rest are mostly freshmen," said Walker.
That made preseason preparation a must for the team. So, they loaded up and drove across town for Lee University's preseason soccer camp.
"The girls are responding to the camp really well. Just in the last three games we have come a long way. It's been a lot of fun to watch the girls come together."
Bradley, along with District 5-AAA rivals Cleveland High School and Soddy-Daisy High School are using the camp as an opportunity to iron out some wrinkles and get a leg up on the Tennessee soccer scene.
"The girls still have some work to do just getting used to each other. I think that's going to be the big thing. There is a lot of raw talent out there. We just have to get them accustomed to not playing as individuals but more as a team," Walker expressed.
Another highlight for the team is the creation of a junior varsity squad to go along with the varsity. With more than 30 girls coming to soccer tryouts it will be the first time in Walker's tenure that the school will have two squads.
"We are waiting until after the camp wraps up to name who makes what team, but it's really exciting to have so many young players interested in the program," she said.
Last season the Bearettes finished 6-6-1 and held a district record of 2-4.

Election: Kirtland Schools facing deep cuts if levy fails in November
Kirtland Schools won't be Kirtland Schools anymore without a successful levy in November.
That's the opinion of board member Tim Cosgrove.
Steep cuts loom in the future to counter a $2 million deficit in 2013-14.
The district will seek a 6.72-mill five-year operating levy on Nov. 6 for current costs. The levy would generate $2,280,000 annually.
Part of the levy — 1.84-mills — is a renewal of an existing levy that is set to expire this year, while the remaining 4.88-mills is new money.
According to the Lake County Auditor, the 4.88 mills would annually cost homeowners an additional $149.45 per $100,000 of property valuation. Coupled with the renewal of the 1.84 mills that residents already pay, the levy in total would annually cost homeowners $205.80 per $100,000 of property valuation.
If the levy fails, the district expects to see further cuts to sports, other extracurriculars and in the classroom, Superintendent Steve Barrett said.
The district is evaluating a list that shows the following on the chopping block: Number of teachers (with resulting effect on class size); class offerings, particularly non-core subjects such as art and music; honors and advanced placement classes; some special education support services; new textbooks; field trips; athletics and clubs; transportation, food service and maintenance; and community utilization of facilities.
Cosgrove said while the district will look to these as potential cuts, they expect to eliminate everything they can to get out of deficit spending and balance the budget.
"We'll start with state minimums and add what we can afford," he said. Continued...
The district will not restore any previous cuts if the levy passes, but will maintain current operations and continue to look for cost-saving measures, Barrett said.
The district already saves $1.3 million annually through staff reductions, including 14 teaching positions and another $500,000 with pay freezes and more health care contributions that went into effect throughout the last year.
Administrative positions have been reduced or absorbed by other employees as well.
Barrett said he does not want to reinstate pay-to-participate fees for sports, but it's likely.
"We'll reconsider pay to participate," he said. "We've seen what it's done to other programs. We have really robust and strong athletic programs, and it's taken a long time for us to build that up and to go to pay-to-participate, we're afraid will compromise those programs. So, we had decided not to do that (in the past.)"
As of April, there are 4,854 eligible voters registered in Kirtland to decide on the levy, according to the Lake County Elections Board. The deadline to register is Tuesday.

Lionel Train Town Ultra
Throughout my childhood, I can remember my dad having a pretty great old model train set he'd put together over the years.
As years went by, there was no longer room for that set, so it went into storage. We ended up substituting a train set game on the Tandy for the time we'd spent on the real thing. It sure didn't meet the same standards.
Sierra's game features over seventy missions, all geared towards the younger set. Some of the harder missions are difficult even for someone my age to figure out. Generally, the missions center on moving cargo from location to location. It can get kind of confusing moving the boxes in the right direction, compensating for the lack of room at the end of a track, and adjusting your cars correctly. Of course, time is of the essence, and if you're speed is too fast or too slow you may cause an accident, or not finish the job in time.
The controls are easy to learn, and the tutorial got me into it quickly. While I'd say this is the perfect train game for a younger kid, it does lack one features I'd have liked to have seen. I would have liked to have been able to make my own tracks. Who knows where the trains would lead to!
Overall, it's a worthwhile game for the kids, but it probably won't keep an older person's attention too long. I will confess blowing the whistle was probably my favorite task in the entire game.

Raven Headdress by Evan Aster
The Spirit Wrestler Gallery is pleased to host the 6th annual Northern Exposure exhibition representing the graduating students and instructors of the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art (Northwest Community College, Terrace, BC). The school continues to widen its mandate and now has a network that includes Maori colleges in New Zealand, the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, The YVR Art Foundation scholarship program (Vancouver International Airport), partnerships with various museums and cultural centres throughout British Columbia and a guest lecture series including prominent Northwest Coast artists.
Early in the development of their curriculum, the Spirit Wrestler Gallery was approached about hosting a graduating exhibition that would offer the students the opportunity to learn about the responsibilities of both the artist and the gallery in preparing for a major exhibition. Each year the gallery exhibition is timed to coincide with the presentation of the YVR Art Foundation Scholarship and the students try to make the trip to Vancouver for both events.
Additional artwork that is listed as Not For Sale (NFS) will be available to view in the gallery. Due to prior agreements made by the students to have their pieces repatriated back to their band in exchange for tuition and the opportunity to attend the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art.

What is your patch management strategy?
Conficker seems to be the theme of the week. So, with the crisis abated for the moment, I thought this would be a good opportunity to discuss an issue near and dear to my heart – patch management.
Conficker will probably go down in history as one of the great worms. Not because of the damage it did to systems, but because of the cycles that were spun by computers and people to make sure they were not going to be, or ensure they had not been, infected. In terms of effectiveness, I would argue that Conficker was very effective. If you want to put it on the list of April Fools jokes as well, go right ahead.
What lead to the chaos in many companies and some federal and state agencies, was a simple lack of a cohesive patch management strategy. Conficker was a Windows penetration, exploiting a number of known, unpatched holes in an operating system that has millions lines of code, many of which have not been fully reviewed. But this does not mean that Open Source or other operating systems are not vulnerable. As has been noted, Linux and other Open Source code has fewer errors per line of code but that does not mean a simple misunderstanding in coding or a simple slipped comma cannot lead to any number of holes in any operating system, which is why we patch code when errors are discovered. Yet a number of companies and people still do not apply these patches.
As someone who used to manage patches for a rather large ERP system, I can understand, to a limited degree, the argument that we cannot apply any patch until we understand what damage it can do. This is a fair position to have, but most of the executives and others that take this position fail to realize that without a fully staffed and funded test and development environment, it is impossible to test and evaluate every patch that comes down the line, commercial or open source. Even in boom times, this was not a realistic position to hold – especially for what I would term routine patches.
The problems begin to crop up when patches are not deployed in a timely manner. This includes, but is not limited to the critical security patches. As a consumer, it is my responsibility to keep on top of patches and the impact it would have on my applications. When you include databases, application servers and OS patches, the task of managing patches can quickly become overwhelming to the point where you can fall behind very easily if you are not patching in a routine, timely manner.
When we look at Conficker, we find that not only had a patch been released to close the hole, but the anti-malware vendors had also released signatures to detect and clean the infection if discovered. And while there were some last minute updating going on for a new variant discovered forty-eight hours before c day, there is almost no excuse why so many people spend so many cycles running around and patching their systems.
So, if you have not applied the latest security patches to your systems, go and do it. Or find out what the holdup is, but do get it done.

patch management
patch management and deployment are two important parts of any company wide strategy and go hand in hand.
check out this article from GFI outlining the important of patch management and deployment for SMBs.
I'm curious to hear what others do in production networks as well. This is easy in a Microsoft world where patches come out once per month (with few exceptions). In a production Linux environment, where you are running RHEL3-5, CentOS3-5, and smatterings of Fedora systems, it is more complex with patches coming out all the time.
I run a group of 5 people that manages around 140 Linux systems from Fedora to RHEL and CentOS.
You have to take a best-practices approach on your systems to standardize your builds and minimize exposed services, or you'll spend all of your free time researching patches.
We patch dev/test stuff weekly and do a monthly release to the production systems unless something critical and exposed to the public comes up. Don't think we've ever had a patch that caused issues other than kernel patches and flaky vendor drivers for some Fibre Channel cards needing to be recompiled.
You might lump conficker in with other April 1 jokes only if you listen to the media about it. April 1 was the activation date, not the date it was going to destroy the internet. When conficker activated on April 1, it did exactly what was expected of it -- it woke up and downloaded something. That's it, and that's all that was expected. In that regard, it was also successful.
But yes, every company must have a patch strategy, and it's always good to be up to date.
I think you're probably a Linux desktop user. In the server space, one cannot just update everything, even though it's easy. And frankly, Linux servers are the issue here. The very small number of Linux desktops prevents them from being a real target.
In the server space, when your business relies on the servers being up, you most certainly need to review every patch, or at least every package that's updated, so you know what it's doing. This is not a "Windows" mindset, and in fact almost all Windows patches in the past few years have not been much to worry about, as MS has gotten a real good handle on how to roll them out now.
Um no, brian11, don't assume
I run a department with over 300 Linux, Mac, and Windows desktop users, anchored by several Linux servers (file and printer sharing w/automatic download of printer drivers to Windows clients, Linux and Mac use CUPS so there is no need for downloads from the server, authentication, name services, firewalls, routers, and wireless access points w/RADIUS authentication and WPA2, some terminal services, automatic provisioning of Linux clients over the network) hosted on three machines. No virtualization because for Linux it's pointless; it run multiple services just fine. We use SELinux on the servers to prevent privilege escalation in the unlikely successful intrusion.
There is one windows 2003 server to provide a licensing server (which is ridiculous and annoying) and other Windows-only services for the Windows XP and Vista clients. That one Windows server and clients are big fat pains and consume a disproportionate amount of time and hardware resources. We absolutely have to test updates before deploying them because they break something frequently enough that testing is more cost-effective than trusting.
The Linux servers all run RHEL. I think we could move to CentOS and save the support costs because we have first-rate Linux admins (me and one other person.) But the few time we needed to call Red Hat they were on the ball and helped us quickly, so we'll probably stay with them. Before we moved to RHEL we used Debian stable. Never a worry about routine, automated updates, never a worry about racing to download the latest patches before the malware gets there first. The only Linux updates that I monitor are kernel updates, because we've had some problems with kernel updates breaking some device support, mainly wireless network interfaces.
That old nonsense about fewer Linux desktops is why they are not pummeled by malware shows that you are misinformed. Desktop or server, Linux is Linux and its share of every market segment except the desktop (which I think is very underestimated, since none of the mainstream analysts or research firms ever bother to include free-of-cost non-commercial deployments) is significant and in several arenas is more than Windows. Windows is the malware target of choice because it has everything a malware author wants: easy to exploit, impossible to secure, and popularity. It is simply not possible to secure Windows, while Linux and all Unix-type operating systems are very secure-able, and you don't need to waste tons of money, time, and hardware on third-party crud that is only partially effective and always reactive.
why all the drama?
Thanks David. I don't understand all the drama that we see in so much of the (poor) reporting on these issues over keeping Linux systems up-to-date, because it is so easy reliable. All of the major distributions come with automatic update notifications and simple configuration options: update automatically without user intervention, notify and wait for user to click 'ok', let user review proposed updates first and pick and choose which ones to apply.
Both Debian and Red Hat, and their many offspring, come with tools for caching downloaded updates and packages locally, which speeds up mass updates considerably.
Like many Linux users, I've been applying automatic updates for years (back in the olden days we had to make cron jobs, we didn't have all this fancy new stuff!) without feeling like I had to test and review every single patch. That's just plain nuts. It's not worth the time and effort, because problems or failures are rare. That's a Windows mindset, and with Windows you do have to test every patch and update because failures and new problems are routine.
It's disgraceful that in this year of 2009 that Windows can still become compromised from email attachments and visiting Web sites. Conficker targets XP and Vista-- so much for MS' claims of progress :P

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Hello all, It has taken me quite a bit of time to enter my comments regarding the go red finale and I apologize. I am not sure if time would not permit me to write or because it would become more concrete to me that I no longer have that extra support and push that has been instrumental in my life for 12 weeks. May 12th felt compareable to a graduation. I was leaving my sorority sisters and being forced to deal with issues on my own. Everyone associated with the go red challenge had been so supportive, how could I be expected to remember everything I was taught, what if I forget something? We were told if we ever had questions we could contact them and ask them. We were given extended memberships to the gym, which will really come in handy because I was unsure hoe I would be able to continue to meet my exercise goals since I did not belong to a gym.
My mother, sister, and daughter attended the event and were very impressed with the turn out of support from the AHA and the community. If only for one day in our lives we were made to feel like celeberties. I hope that the messages that were echoed in the room reached the audience it needed to. I know my mother was one of those who needed to hear some of the things that were said in that room. My plan is to incorperate everything I have learned from the professionals as well as the other challengers to continue with my weight loss goals. I know I need to schedulemy gym dates as I would any other meeting that was important. I need to plan ahead for meals, lunches at work, and when I go out to eat with family and friends. I am still working on a way to stop my bad behavoirs when I see them starting.
In all honesty I have slipped a little since the reveal event. I think I was just so happy no one was watching that I decided to treat myself but I now realize I can treat myself in different way it doesn't necessarily have to be a banana split with whipped cream (lol). I it is still and will continue to be a learning process. But I am aware if I want to reach my 100lb loss goal by next year I must be persistant and not make excuses and find someone else to blame for my mistakes. Ownership will be key, and I plan to own my health, my decisions, and my life.
I am not sure if I will continue to blog or have time, but know that I have apprecieated everything I have gained and lost from this experience and would do it again in a heart beat. Which by the way is beating pretty good these days thanks to the AHA, Proheathcare, Westwood, the go red challenge, and last but not least my girls.

Hidden Energy-Guzzlers Part 7: Where your money is really going
When we first started looking for hidden energy guzzlers in our house I was asked to list (what I thought) were the top three energy guzzlers. Here's what we listed:
1. Air conditioner – this was, in fact, the number one guzzler at $80 per month.
2. Clothes dryer – This was not as big a culprit as we thought. We'll discuss this in our next blog.
3. Hot water heater – This was more expensive than I thought it was going to be, as you'll see.
Our hot water heater is electric, is a 50 gallon tank, and is around 8 years old. We discovered that our average usage runs around 375 kilowatt hours per month. At $0.17 per KWH, that puts our monthly average at around $68.00 a month, which makes it the number two energy-guzzler in our house. I remember buying it based on one thing: its price tag. What I found was this:
Every appliance has two price tags. The first is the price you pay when you purchase the appliance (I went cheap). The second is the cost of operating the appliance over its lifetime. You might be surprised if you consider how much it costs to operate an appliance compared to what seemed to be a good deal when you purchased it. I thought I got a good deal, but found that I'm paying through the proverbial 'nose' each month.
The utility guy said that there are a number of things I could do, which included spending $500 on a new, energy efficient unit. Not being inclined in that direction, I asked what we could do to reduce the bill on the unit we have. Here's a list of things that he suggested:
1. Repair leaky faucets & showerheads. He said to check the faucets and showers in all three bathrooms for leaks. A leak of one drip per second can cost $1 per month. This doesn't sound like much, but can add-up.
2. This was interesting. He asked if we used hot water when running the garbage disposal. We always used hot water. He said to use cold water to operate the garbage disposal. Cold water use saves energy and is the recommendation of most disposal manufacturers. Didn't know that.
3. When washing dishes by hand, he said to use a sink stopper or dishpan so water – hot or cold – doesn't rush down the drain. Remember, too, that hot water running needlessly not only wastes water, but it wastes energy as well. This was news to us, since we often washed dishes by hand so as not to use the dishwasher (see last week's blog).
4. Set our water heater to 120 degrees, which will produce plenty of hot water and still save energy. I ran down to the basement and saw that ours was set at 160 degrees, which I promptly changed.
5. Wrap your water heater with a water heater blanket, and insulate the pipes where we can. We got these ready-made foam tubes that worked well and were easy to cut-to-size. He said we'd save around 10% on our bill just by doing this.
6. Conserve hot water by installing water-saving showerheads.
7. Last, but not least, this was the big eye-opener. He said to put a timer on the heater that shut it down at night. Candidly, I didn't buy this. I thought we'd be showering in cool water in the morning, which I wasn't excited about. Not to worry, he said, because the water in the tank would still be warm, and it wouldn't take much to heat it up. He said that by turning off the water heater for 8 hours each day, we could save as much as 30% on our bill. To prove it to us he brought us outside the house to where the electrical meter was. He asked us to watch the dial, which was spinning quite fast. He then went into the basement and flipped-off the breaker for the hot water heater. Amazing. The dial (which measures the kilowatts being used) slowed-down to half of the speed as when the heater was on.
His point was this: Why continue to heat water at 120 degrees when no one is using it? A well insulated tank will keep water warm for quite a while. So we put the heater on a timer and decided to turn it off from 11pm to 6am, and from 9am to 4pm, when we are away at work and school. That's 14 hours that we won't be heating water at 4500 watts. We also decided that there won't be any more 20 minute showers. Sorry ladies…

The best this in 2013 Would be if the City of Tampa's Administration Would change the process of Code and Zoning Enforcement in all neighborhoods as well as Seminole Height
The history of over 20 years and more, proves that the process is not effective

I've always thought the one way system onto Highlands is just plain stupid. Businesses below Highlands lose potential passing trade because traffic passes before businesses are open and after they're closed. Consequently Florida Avenue below Nicko's is a neglected wasteland - some more trees and landscaping would be nice too. And if only the "Praise Cathedral" could be come an entertainment venue again (music/film/theater) - even though there's nowhere to park!
Bottom line, I really think the City couldn't give a damn about local business, all they do is look at what they can TAKE financially and not what they can DO to help local business owners prosper.

I feel that S.H. needs a gym. Like a YouFit or another chain fitness get up. I also agree that more landscaping and trees [palm trees] would help improve the area. When a community looks nicer, 'nicer' people are more drawn to it. Maybe how they scaped south Tampa and Kennedy Blvd by adding palms and scrubs in the medians.

PLEASE do something with the old Seminole Theater on Florida Ave and Wilder. It is such an eyesore and could be restored as a local theater or recreational building. I don't know who currently owns it but perhaps the city could purchase the building and make good use of it for the community.

Border Guard officers continue protest, say Gov't 'didn't give an answer to solve conflict'
Border Guard officers' spokesman Raúl Maza warned that they did not receive "any answer from the Government" over their wage claims, and stated that they abandoned the protest at the Centinela building because of "reprisals."
Maza highlighted that the officers' claim - that led to a ten-days protest at different headquarters of the forces - still "continues."
"We left the protest at the building on Thurdsay because we suffered reprisals," the spokesman told the press after being asked about the end of demonstrations.
Maza stated during a radio interview that they are "getting organized so to define a representative board."

Work muchs like brushes - you pick the stamp to get the shape, and then pick the color you want it to be. Nothing about the original image is used except the transparency (from "alpha" channel). The color of the stamp comes out solid. - noflip
The stamp cannot be flipped upside-down. - nomirror
The stamp cannot be mirrored left-to-right. - scale
If the full-sized image for a stamp is initially sized too large or small, a scale factor may be specified. (Scale option may be in a percentage (e.g., "scale 50%"), a fraction (e.g., "scale 2/1" or "scale 1:2"), or a ratio (e.g., "scale 2"). An equal ("=") can be included.) - tintable
This alters the hue of the stamp. (Similar to "colorable," but keeping the detail of the shape.)- tinter=normal (default)
This is the normal tinting mode. (Hue range is +/- 18 degrees, 27 replace.) - tinter=anyhue
This remaps all hues in the stamp. (Hue range is +/- 180 degrees.) - tinter=narrow
This is like 'anyhue', but a narrower hue angle. (Hue range is +/- 6 degrees, 9 replace.) - tinter=vector
This maps 'black through white' to 'black through destination'.
