True but Duke also kicks doors in, throws trophies at aliens and takes the time to relieve himself in the bogs. This is why Duke Nukem Forever is an awesome game.


text: I have seen in the spring-oauth sparklr demo that there is a provision to have auto-approved clients. I am trying to have a session established when a user uses the Resource Owner Credentials flow to "login" and have the server automatically approve a client if the user is logged in. This seems to be a pretty common flow, and I understand how this can be done through a web login, but I am unable to see how "sessions" are established when the user "logs in" and gets a token using the resource owner credentials flow for native/mobile clients. How is the user "remembered" in such cases when he asks for an authorization code? I would appreciate any pointers.

Is Toyota Ready to Get Sporty?
A new global vehicle platform suggests the conservative automaker may be ready to take risks.
The Toyota New Global Architecture will let Toyota cut costs by 30 percent while enabling multiple vehicles to be developed for different markets at the same time. Toyota will be developing three front-wheel-drive models under the new platform.
The initiative also will reduce the number of Toyota executives responsible for approving a vehicle in development -- currently up to 100, the report said -- which very directly killed any fun along the way. Just read this quote from chief designer Tukuo Fukuichi:
"Toyota's problem was that it had too many filters. When you have that many people weighing in, you end up developing cars by eliminating the negatives, not by creating something positive, by taking risks."
While the new Scion FR-S will complement the company's only other sporty car under $30,000, the Scion tC, it's still a far cry from when the midengine MR-2 Spyder (pictured above) and the famous Celica coupe were dropped in 2005. The Camry no longer offers a manual transmission, and to get something exciting from Lexus, you'll need to drop $62,000 for the IS F or $375,000 for the untouchable LFA. The only sporty Toyota we can find is a Camry SE, which looks somewhat menacing in black. The new 2013 Avalon at least has a "sport" button that firms up the steering and paddle shifters to raise blood pressure.
Indeed, even Toyota Racing Development, the company's would-be performance division, is more skewed toward bolting superchargers on its trucks and modifying springs on Scion models than anything that might seriously beef up the average Toyota.
"I'm not sure how many future sports cars we have in the pipeline," Toyota spokesman Wade Hoyt told MSN Autos. "But Akio Toyoda is a real car guy. He races. He gets it. And he is determined that the company has to build more exciting, emotional products. That goes beyond styling to include better handling and driver involvement."
[Source: Reuters via Automotive News]
Only the manufacturer and beltway care about market share, the rest of us just want their well built products and maybe some updated styling.
I guess Toyota heard all the cries of "bland and boring" going on. Production is back to full swing, a brief period of quality issues is being corrected and now they are going to build more exciting vehicles.
Yes, but keep in mind that it is near impossible to change overnight (you've said it yourself many times). Toyota has made it a point to build boring automobiles for years now. They have dug themselves into a very deep hole. It is going to take a long time before anyone hears the name Toyota and smiles at the thought of driving excitement.
The FR-S is a start, but they have a long, long, long way to go.
My guess is that Toyota is getting poised to retake their #1 spot.
My last four "junk" Toyotas each went over a hundred thousand miles without ever seeing a repair shop. If that is junk, what would you call the competition....crap?
Ford will add buttons, knobs to its much-maligned MyFord Touch system.
Cars are cool, and here at MSN Autos we love everything about them, but we also know they're more than simply speed and style: a car is an essential tool, a much-needed accessory to help you get through your day-to-day life.

Good Food, Good People: Tarpy's Roadhouse
Posted by Meredith on Dec 21, 2009.Filed under Ceremony, Food and Drink, Receptions, Rehearsal Dinner, Restaurants, Stuff We Love
So there we were, on our annual company retreat. One of the highlights of our year. A chance for the whole Here Comes The Guide staff to be together, get some hard work done, and just hang out.
The good news: we were at Woods Hole in Pebble Beach. Gorgeous location, comfortable home perfect for our retreat, right on the ocean. We were getting lots of good work done and enjoying each other's company.
The bad news: 5 of the 8 us, including me, were very sick. We had The Flu. I, for one, can't remember being that sick.
Then, the most wonderful thing happened. Through the front door swooped the lovely staff from Tarpy's Roadhouse, there to make our dinner. But more than that, they took care of us. They made us tea, they served us in front of the TV so we could watch Glee and they whipped up fantastic, comforting food: a salad with apples, pecans and gorgonzola, steak and garlic mashed potatoes, Chilean sea bass with a mango relish and, finally, strawberry shortcake—yum!
Afterward, they cleaned up while we all limped to bed. Still sick, but cared for and comforted.
Yes, the food was great, but the love they delivered with it was just what this sniffly group needed. If they can perform that kind of miracle off-site, imagine what they can do at their very own location. Thanks, Tarpy's!
A Culinary Adventure With A Moveable Feast
Posted by Julia on Dec 21, 2009.Filed under Food and Drink, Receptions, Rehearsal Dinner, Stuff We Love
A Moveable Feast promises exactly what its company name implies. This is not your everyday catering company. Don't believe me? Just 24 hours after returning to the States from my own adventure in Tuscany and Rome, I, along with the rest of the Here Comes The Guide ladies, had the privilege of being treated to Chef Michael's 5-course culinary adventure (as he so dryly referred to it), along with 12 different appetizers and dessert. (Chocolate and sea salt, anyone?)
After savoring the last bite, I can confidently report that this meal could easily surpass some of the best food I encountered in Europe.
For me, food isn't just about eating. Being a wannabe gourmet chef, I believe understanding a dish's origins and preparation just makes the meal that much more delicious. Chef Michael was more than happy to tell me about the origin of his dishes, and even his techniques. In fact, many of the ingredients came from the Monterey and Carmel area—which explains why everything tasted so fresh!
And when each dish is so delectable, it's hard not to devour everything that's placed before you. As I started running out of room in my stomach, I worried that I wouldn't be able to do justice to Chef Michael's entire menu. He, however, was very understanding, repeating, "No pressure" as he saw the look on my face each time another of his creations arrived. But of course, pressure wasn't the problem; it was the fact that I knew that if I stopped, I might miss a morsel even tastier than the last!
Tip: At your wedding or special event, don't feel pressured to clean your plate. While I had trouble leaving any of A Moveable Feast's delicacies behind, keep in mind that you will probably want to hit the dance floor after your 3- or 5-course dinner. So no matter how fabulous the food is at your reception, leave a little room for dancing!
P.S. Michael's got one of the sharpest wits and quickest senses of humor I've seen in some time. He's like free entertainment!
The Art of Draping: Vera Wang Takes You 'Behind the Dress'
Posted by Jolene on Dec 21, 2009.Filed under Fashion, Trend Watch, Vera Wang, Wedding Dresses
Remember Rami Kashou, the runner-up fashion designer in Project Runway Season 4? He was all about "the art of draping," and occasionally took some flack from the judges for the overuse of his signature style. Well maybe Rami has a future in bridal, because the Goddess of Gown trends, Vera Wang, features draping in one of her romantic 2010 creations, "Dinah."
Read more:
Vera builds on a new definition of romantic. This week's featured wedding dress, Dinah, captures the art of draping and showcases a classic symbol of romance: the bow. Vera offers her insights on the design inspiration behind Dinah.
Dinah looks and feels soft, feminine and romantic. In fact, I describe this wedding dress as grand romance!
With this wedding dress, I sought to create fullness and lightness in the skirt by tucking the fabric into soft layers. The result is a rich, cascading effect. I chose to offset the volume in the skirt with a fitted bodice. Lace is quintessentially romantic. With Dinah, I have used it only on the bodice to add but not overpower.
In wedding fashion, I love to use ribbons, buttons, bows and blossoms to add whimsy and eccentricity. These design elements introduce fantasy and establish an optimistic tone. For Dinah, I chose a bowed sash tied at the natural waist of the wedding dress. The sash is in grosgrain, one of my signature fabrics (I named my first Vera Wang china pattern Grosgrain in tribute).
While I have embraced color in my collections, I chose to design Dinah in white and ivory to underscore the innocence that I believe this wedding dress conveys.
Keep in mind, a strapless neckline strikes the delicate balance between propriety and flirtation. Strapless is not for every bride, however. When choosing a neckline for your wedding dress, consider weight, height, bone structure and age. Select a neckline that is most flattering to you; don't feel held to what is perceived to be sexy or in fashion.
Bows add femininity and grace to any wedding dress. The size and placement of bows serve different purposes in wedding fashion. On Dinah, the large bowed sash is a more dramatic statement. On other wedding dresses, I use small bows to cover up hooks on a bustle. The bow detail on a wedding dress can be carried through other aspects of the wedding, from the wedding invitation and bridesmaids' dresses to the fastening on the backs of the chairs at the reception.
The A-line shape is always elongating. I appreciate this silhouette for its versatility: In a fuller form, like here with Dinah, the A-line can be extravagant without sacrificing slimness. In a more fitted form, it can be sleek and sensual. On a wedding dress, the A-line can be dressy, or informal. Regardless of form and function, the A-line is always a classic and refined choice.

Universal Freedom
Barack Obama likes to think that everything in the world must be universal. Universal health care, universal school systems, universal economics. As long as the universe is his universe.
Now, he wants us to believe that freedom is "universal" too. Oh no, he's not saying that we should spread universal freedom throughout the world as the previous president believed; he's saying that freedom is a "universal principle."
Pardon me for a moment whilst I endeavor to wrap my brain around this one.
If freedom is a universal principle, Mr. President, then please explain to me why the women in Muslim countries must walk about with their faces and heads covered, cowering in shame and fear that something they do will be interpreted as evil. Explain to me how men can get away with gang-raping a woman, and then the woman is charged with adultery. This is freedom?
If freedom is a universal principle, Mr. President, then why is it that in present day Canada, preachers who speak their opinions about homosexuality are branded "intolerant" and tossed behind bars for "hate crimes." If it is a universal principle, how is it that in China Christians must be registered with the state and teach only state-approved doctrines or risk their health and freedom (such as it is) to teach and preach what they truly believe? How is it that in China the internet is censored to omit almost all mentions of the Tienanmen Square Massacre? How is it that in Africa, rival warlords continue to fight each other for the right to put their fellow Africans in subjugation to themselves.
Are these things freedom?
Mr. President, do you not realize that the skimming of the surface I just mentioned to you is not an aberration, but the norm throughout history?
And since freedom is such a universal principle, there would not be a problem with the United States, (until January of this year) the chief purveyor of freedom in the modern world, spreading that message, now would there? However, the President seems to be under the impression that we should not . . .
impose these values on another country with a different history and a different culture.
Wait? Which is it? Is freedom universal to all countries with all histories and cultures? Or is it an American idea that we're "forcing" on all those poor wretched souls in third world countries like some of the President's close family members live in?
Barack Obama has absolutely no right to pompously go on radio stations in other countries and proclaim in the same breath that America has no right to impose her values (of freedom) on others, and then claim that freedom is a universal principle. If freedom is a universal principle, than we aren't imposing anything. We're giving them a gift of what they want.
Freedom is not a universal principle. Freedom as America was introduced to it is a principle based almost solely in the Bible, which, rather ironically, happens to be where the principles of about ninety-eight percent of the Founding Fathers were based as well. Until Barack Obama and the rest of the United States understands that, freedom in a country . . . well, that's going to become an extinct principle.
Then we can have universal speech and religion as well. Won't that be nice?

Published September 1, 2005.
Tired of paying $12 a pound for porterhouse or T-bone? We tested 12 'cheap' steaks to find out how to save money without skimping on flavor or texture.
It's hard to know what you're buying when you pick up a "steak" in the grocery store. Names differ from region to region, some cuts are wonderfully tender while others are hopelessly tough, and some recipes recommend cuts that are almost impossible to find, leaving the consumer to make a blind substitution. Given the confusion, many consumers play it safe by falling back on expensive cuts.
We wanted to find the best "cheap" steaks--priced under $6.99/pound--that would deliver solid beefy flavor and tender texture.
We first visited meat purveyors to learn what makes some steaks more expensive than others as well as to decipher all the different names. After sorting through the confusion, we were left with a list of 12 candidates. We cooked them as we would any steak, creating a nice sear on both sides without overcooking or allowing the fond to burn. Tasters judged most to be too tough and/or lacking beefy flavor ,while others were livery or gamy. We tried a variety of preparation methods--salting, aging, tenderizing, marinating--but none really improved flavor and texture. In the end, only two cuts earned favored status: boneless shell sirloin steak (aka top butt) and flap meat steak (aka sirloin tips).

There's lots and lots of history, nice beaches, great mountains, cold sangria and awesome parties every night.
Must go
Spain is known for its great weather and nice beaches. You can lay down in the sun in the Mediterranean, enjoy great landscapes on the Atlantic, or even practice surfing. Spain has 605 Blue Flag beaches - that means we have tons of clean, safe beaches for you!
Granada is my favorite city: it has mountains, sea, lots of history and the best tapas I've ever eaten. Located in Andalucía (the south of Spain), Granada is a place to have fun, relax and enjoy all the little pleasures of Spanish life. The Alhambra is probably my favorite building, so don't miss it. You may want to make reservations though, since only a limited number of visitors are allowed each day.
El Pirineo
If you want to take a break from beaches, sun and people, I strongly recommend a trip to the North. The Pirineo, in the border with France, is the perfect spot to enjoy clean air, great landscapes and the peace and quiet that can't be found in a city. This is my favorite vacation spot; the mountains really charge my batteries. It also shows a different side of Spain and its people. And the hiking here is amazing!
Must do
Spain is an open country. People are loud, eat too many tapas and tend to sleep more during the day than the night. It's easy to start the night with every intention of going to bed early and not getting home before 6:00 am! Obviously, it's not possible to do this every day, but once in a while, enjoy it! That way you'll have the perfect excuse to take a siesta (nap). You always know when the night starts, but never when will it end!
I think this is one of the things that applies to every country in the world: if you really want to get the feeling of a place, you have to walk it. Unless you are extremely tired, or the weather is crappy, forget those tour busses and just walk the city. Of course it's important to visit monuments and famous places, but don't forget to take a little detour every once in a while. You never know if the next bar you enter has the best tortilla ever!
Must Eat
Sangría & Tapas
There is nothing better in the world than a cold sangría in a hot summer day. Let me rephrase that: there is nothing better in the world than a cold sangria with yummy tapas in a hot summer day. My advice when ordering tapas is simple: just ask for what the locals are eating. Oh, and don't be afraid to try anything: I guess some foods may seem gross (octopus! pig's ear!) but really, you'd be surprised by how good they are.
I've tried "Spanish tortillas" in other countries and I've yet to find a good one. Really, it's nothing fancy: egg, fried potatoes and onion (always ask for the onion one, it's 10 times better!) but, really, it's so good. If you can get your hands on a homemade one, you'll never want anything else in your life (there are a lot of difference from the ones to try in bars and restaurants.)
Churros with Chocolate
This is the most Spanish breakfast I can think of. Churros con chocolate are the best thing to eat when you are coming home after a long night of partying, when you wake up ready to face a full day of walking or in a cold winter afternoon. If you've already tried churros, go for the porras. Those are longer and thicker, and taste even better!
Cultural tip
Lunch is usually taken between 2 and 4 pm and dinner starts at 9 pm (at the earliest), although some hotels and restaurants open earlier for tourists. When going out, people usually meet for drinks at 11 pm, meaning the night starts much later than in other countries. Language is not usually a problem if you go to touristic spots, but when traveling to lesser known places, be sure you know at least basic sentences - just in case.
Travel on the Cheap
Spain is not an expensive country if you stay away from all the tourist-y places. There are lots of bars and restaurants in the main streets and squares charging sky high prices for normal food; sometimes you just have to walk down the street to find cheaper and better alternatives. The rule of thumb is to check the people: if there aren't many locals in the restaurant, avoid it.
Any Spanish travel tips to share? Questions for Monica?

cassnwarren: I absolutely agree, the Camino is something really special. I haven't done it myself yet but I'm training and want to do it in a near future.
Liz: I'm glad you liked it! It's always nice to hear that people have enjoyed your country :)
Julie: the Alcazar is sure amazing and I love Segovia. It was difficult not to include it on the list, but there are so many things!
Sophia: I'm so glad you love Madrid!! I live here and love to take random walks, always discovering new streets. And San Sebastian is awesome, no doubt about it!
Thanks everybody for your words, it has been an awesome experience to be able to write in this amazing blog! Thanks Sarah!
If anyone has any more questions, I'll be glad to answer them :)

You're right Tahnan. I commited faults that I did not see, I'm sorry. I have checked again the puzzle, and eliminated errors and the first line, that was not esential and could lead to error. I think that now it is resoluble. The fact that I am Spanish shouldn't matter. As I have said, I said it because it can be used to solve the puzzle.
Sorry again for the faults. It won't happen again (I won't tell I'm Spanish again, I mean).
And thanks for the explanation, Tahnan.

I will admit, WW, that it's a little hard to tell what's part of the puzzle, and what's part of English not being your first language. What you have here is a far better word puzzle than I could write in Spanish, I have no doubt. But--is "mening" as a typo for "meaning" meaningful, or a second-language problem? What about "some times" being two words? And so on.
Don't take this as discouragement; just an explanation as to why I, for one, haven't particularly gotten very far on this.

This is my last try. After this, I will commit suicide... Or maybe I simply try with another puzzle, more easy than this one. I maybe overvalorated you.
The first and the last lines are hints.
The solution is a word, and you can obtain it from the central paragraph.
The fact that I am Spanish is also a hint.
You will obtain the solution in two pieces from the central paragraph.
The misspell is: "oust" in the real world is changed by "uds" in the misspelled word, that is a river from USA.

I begin to think that no one is interested in this one...
But I won't surrender. Here you got some hint:
The river is in USA.
The God is from greek pantheon.
The final answer is a single word.

Anagrams are really usual here, I know, but what about a 25% of it? That is quite less usual, I promise (rather than swear: I do not like the first of the double of the number of the god with troubles that told to that river (or it was not a river? I always misspell that one...), and I eliminate what I do not like).
I think this is superfluous by now, but 25 + 80 = 100, sometimes.

TCB-World staff would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members for their continued support throughout the year and for making this message board a great place to be
Christmas is one of the most important times of the year. For many, it is a time to reflect on whatever their faith means to them and for others it is simply a good opportunity to relax with friends and family.
Christmas is also a time for communities to come together, to give and to share and to be at peace, a time to build the kind of respect for each other, that helps us to be stronger. Our hope for 2008 is that the goodwill and respect that we all enjoy at Christmas will last all year round.
We would like wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

The Literature of Biology
and the raw material for future research - A.F. Spilhaus
The biological literature is part of the larger scientific literature. This literature represents a permanent record of the collective achievements of the scientific community and is the principal medium for communicating the results of scientific research. This scientific knowledge base is composed of the individual "end products" of scientific research and continues to grow as new research builds on earlier research. This new research may add to, substantiate, modify, refine or refute existing knowledge. Research and discovery in the laboratory or field is dependent on existing knowledge and literature; and discovery is only valuable when it becomes part of the literature and the body of scientific knowledge.
Scientific literature is divided into two basic categories - "primary" and "secondary". Publications that report the results of original scientific research constitute the "primary" literature and include journal papers, conference papers, monographic series, technical reports, and theses and dissertations. The "primary" literature is eventually compacted into "secondary" sources which synthesize and condense what is known on specific topics. These include reviews, monographs, textbooks, treatises, handbooks, and manuals.
Useful strategies for searching the scientific knowledge base are found in Searching the Scientific Literature.
Scientific Research/Publication Cycle
The following chart illustrates common steps involved in the scientific research process (inner circle), the dissemination of research results through the primary and secondary literature (outer circle), and the personal assimilation of this information resulting in new ideas and research (inner circle):
Biology Journals and Magazines
Journals. The research paper published in a scientific journal represents the most important "primary" source of information. Over 80% of biological research is communicated in this format. The first scientific journal was established in 1665 and today there are over 2,800 scholarly journals in biology. For high impact journals in biology see Journals Ranked by Impact, Eigenfactor.org: Ranking and Mapping Scientific Knowledge and SCImago Journal & Country Rank.
The Journal and Newpaper Finder lists titles provided by the HSU Library. The Category grouping under Life Sciences lists over 3000 available titles.
Literature databases listed in Articles and Databases: Biology/Botany/Zoology can be used to find individual research papers by author, subject, taxonomic category, habitat type, life stage, chemical compound, or geographic area. Most HSU databases include links from each record to matching records in the Journal and Newspaper Finder. If not available locally copies can be requested through the Library's efficient Interlibrary Loan Service.
Databases and cited literature typically abbreviate journal titles. To assist you in deciphering abbreviations the following sources are available to help you find complete titles:
- Journal Title Abbreviations (HSU Library)
- Abbreviation lists associated with databases listed in Articles and Databases: Biology/Botany/Zoology
- Biological Journals and Abbreviations (Hough & Patton) Listed in abbreviations order. Gives full title and link to ejournal homepage.
Magazines and Newsletters. Articles appearing in these publications tend to be popular in format and scope. They may contain news and perspectives of professional societies and environmental organizations, report on research published in scholarly journals, report on environmental problems and new political initiatives, or contain articles aimed at the layperson. Check the Journal and Newspaper Finder for magazines available in the HSU Library.
Monographic Series
Longer contributions resulting from scientific research are sometimes published in this format. Monographic series typically have the following characteristics:
- They are published by government agencies, major universities or professional organizations.
- Individual issues are collectively published in a continuing series which has a distinctive name. Typical names include Bulletin, Special Report, Special Paper, Technical Report, and Technical Paper.
- Individual issues in the series are consecutively numbered, e.g. Technical Paper No. 36.
- Each issue has a distinctive author and title.
- There is no regular publication schedule in contrast to a journal.
- Individual issues contain the completed results of a single research project.
- Individual issues range from several pages to several hundred pages.
A typical example is:
Wheeler, W.E., R.C. Gatti, & G.A. Bartlett.(a) 1984. Duck Breeding, Ecology and Harvest Characteristics on Grand River Marsh Wildlife Area.(b) Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources(c) Technical Bulletin(d) No. 145(e).
where a=individual author; b=individual title; c=series author; d=series title; e=series number
To locate monographic series in the HSU Library you need to consult the following two sources:
- For federal and California State agency series use the catalogs and indexes listed in Natural Resources Agency Government Documents and Reports.
- For all other monographic series use the HSU Catalog or Journal and Newspaper Finder. The key is to look for the series of which an individual issue is a part. You must look under either the series title (Technical Bulletin in the above example) or the sponsoring organization (Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in the above example). In the above example there is no listing under the author "Wheeler..."" or the title "Duck Breeding..." since these are the author and title of the individual issue. HSU Library Catalog will note each number held by the Library in a particular series, e.g., #1-25, 26-30, 35-.
As with individual journal papers databases listed in Articles and Databases: Biology/Botany/Zoology also can be used to identify research published in this format.
Conferences Papers
Papers presented at national and international conferences, symposia, and workshops are the second most common source for communicating biological research. For many of these meetings the presented papers are eventually published in a "proceedings" or "transactions" volume or made available on the Internet. Those available in the HSU Library are listed in the HSU Library Catalog under author (generally the name of the conference, individual editor or sponsoring organization) and title.
Subject, taxonomic, geographic, and author access to individual conference papers is provided by databases listed in Articles and Databases: Biology/Botany/Zoology.
Theses and Dissertations
The outcome of graduate study conducted at universities is commonly a master's thesis or doctoral dissertation. In addition to the formal thesis or dissertation, research results are often communicated in other "primary" literature formats, such as the journal paper.
See Theses and Dissertations for how to find and acquire 1) HSU masters theses; and 2) theses and dissertations produced at other universities that are available in other libraries and on the Internet.
Monographs (Books)
Monographs generally are not part of the "primary" literature of biology or science in general, but rather are "secondary" sources of information. They may be either scholarly contributions or popularizations on specific topics. Through scholarly monographs the "primary" literature on specific topics is condensed, summarized or reviewed. Most include references back to the "primary" literature. They may take the format of textbooks, treatises, taxonomic works, or a multitude of reference works, such as encyclopedias or handbooks. Monographs are listed in the HSU Library Catalog. For guidance in use of HSU Library Catalog see Biological Searching in Library Catalogs.
Government Publications
See Natural Resources Agency Government Documents and Reports for an introduction to locating government documents and technical reports.

Howdy Beaver
By Alkali Springs Correspondent
This column is mostly about flowers. It is flower season in the beautiful Bear Paws and maybe it's because of the drought or something, but those that are out, look more beautiful than ever.
We heard about a new book just out that we are going to get a copy of soon. It is called "Anatomy of a Rose" by someone named Russell. It takes flowers in general and gives them a new look. Like they say, read this book and you will never look at a field of flowers the same way again.
Just a few things we heard in a review of the book. For instance, man and beast have both loved flowers equally from almost the beginning of time. Did you know that even Neanderthal man strew the graves of their dead with flowers? Not much different from today. What is incredible is that the beauty of flowers was as much a part of mans' existence thousands of years ago as it is today! Unbelievable!
One mistake that man makes is to lump flowers into a special category as sort of a benign, but lovely part of life. This book goes on to say that flowers are anything but benign. They are as much predators as man and reptiles. For instance, did you know that flowers can change their scent to very sexual tones in order to attract, say a beetle or caterpillar, to them for whatever reason? Or that in a field of flowers, 85 percent of the pollen floating are male sex organs just going on a hunt for something to fertilize along the way?
And that, in spite of climate changes, flowers are much more adaptable in this world than man or dinosaurs? They have been around much longer than man and it appears that they will be around after man is no more on this planet. Flowers originally came from the sea and became the staple thing, along with water, that keeps the earth going. Interesting.
So when we drive out to the beautiful Bear Paws and see those hillsides filled with beautiful wild sweet peas these days, just imagine what is going on in that field that we don't have a clue about.
This is the right time to view the wild sweet peas. There are whole hillsides full of them, carpeting the ground with bright yellow from afar.
As well, and just in time for Memorial Day weekend, hillsides are just absolutely white with June berry blossoms. Their beauty is just incredible, particularly when viewing them alongside of dark fir forests or golden-green new leaves on trees and bushes.
This time of year makes us always think of that line from Robert Frost that goes, "Natures first green is gold." Well, this is the time of the year to see just exactly what Robert Frost is talking about.
We have seen some wild larkspur, beautiful dark purple plants this week. We love that too.
In fact, take your flower book, camera and lunch and get out and identify some of the myriad of flowers to be seen right now. You will love getting out and seeing close up all that beauty.
A word of caution. This weekend is the long Memorial Day weekend. It is traditionally the first of camping season in Beaver Creek Park. There will be lots of campers, picnickers and walkers, so be careful. And do have a very memorable Memorial Day weekend!

The murder spawns a quest for answers: in a world of masks, who's real and who can you trust?

Ummm................yeah OK, thats what I was saying !!!! Way to much time alone and Zin is a very baddddddddd combo PUMP, time for a change, you're seeing things that don't exist my main Man !!!
Sorry, don't ever recall that to be the case, was speculated to be the cause of his departure by some in the CMB, but NEVER confirmed by Buddy Boy to my knowledge. Buddy took the good Ol' Boy approach and just basically lied ...................... he simply needed to spend more time with his family if MY memory serves me correctly........... Then unbruptly had a "change of heart" as so many seem to do and returned to mastermind the the continual FAIL thats AKA as the Buffulo Bills ...... (seriously, did he really think those ex Chargers duds could still play ?........ )
OH MY ....... you going "public" with this ??? This place is becoming the second coming of Facebook .................Arrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!! Where's the "POKE" button ????
Ol' Billy STILL has a job ??????????? How the farg did he survive the PINKY Slip handout ??? Hey DAVE !!!! .................Shussssssssshhhhhhhhhhh !!!!! "The Wormer" isn't saying "how many people he will interview for the GM job", he's keeping it on the downlow, OK !!! Mum's the werd !!! P.S ......... Just like it was the other week after Acee reported that NORF and AJ were HISTORY .......... and he DENIED it was a done deal, remember that one ???? Now we learn that HE hired WOLF a MONTH ago, which I believe was well before Acee's report, was it NOT ??? My my, just not sure who you can trust anymore ........
Its not like they weren't there anyway, but along with his help, there's NO doubt they'll be remaining there for many years to come ........... Or at least until Fairyman is able to get back on track at least ............
Please exclude LJ from any current lists though, as according to some.................. its only a title his Daddy gave him to keep him content until its time to take over the GM job ............or until he hits puberty, which ever comes first.
What the Farg ???? Is OKIE staying in your spare room too ??? Is my wit becoming harder to decipher these days or are you farger's just so dismayed with this franchise, you can't see straight anymore ??? You boys all need to go easy on the Eggnog at this time of year.
Seriously........................what the farg is wrong with peeps who think they need to "Thank a guy", who has been paid Millions I might add, to totally ****-OVER a franchise for years on end ??? I just don't get it ...............does it make them feel they have repented their own sins or are they just those religious zealot types that have to "Thank the Lord" on a daily basis (and let everyone else know about it)..... to feel totally fulfilled ??? The world becomes more retarded by the hour, next someone will be telling me that they are suing the Govt over there because they somehow managed to drive their car over the fiscal cliff and can no longer get to the Welfare Centre to cash their monthly check, so someone owes them a new Hummer.
You forgot ....... E. Who cares, he's someone else's problem now. Should we start discussing in here now................. **** Who goes...Who stays ???? If so, China Ryno is first on my list to trade...... NOW. Sorry BLEW, you (and plenty of others, who Im sure will come forward and say so) were so gung-ho on the bloke at the start of the year, stating that he needed more time etc etc etc ........ 3 years gone, hasn't improved one iota, end of story................for a change, get something for him NOW while he may still have some trade value, Ive seen you write how AJ let so many guys go over the years and NEVER got anything in return................well thats what happens when you keep guys for 5-6 years and their Due date expired 3 years earlier, so on that note, Ryno's time is up ....... right ?
hahahahahahahaahaahaa ....................I'm sure that was quite a shock to you, I'm still picking up my jaw off the floor. YEP, just like that night he crawled up your arse at the Coronado Inn without you feeling a thing, he's managed to wriggle his little arse into the realms of "Legend" status at the CMB .......
Hey, I was saving you from death threats ..................... the Corpsie has never been the same since Goo put a Mexican Mafia contract out on him, I was just trying to save you from the same fate.
They find your attempt at "humour", rather bland I believe. The CMB has no place for such childish behaviour, you know that. That includes, but NOT limited too ........ sarcasm, cynicism or anything remotely linked to be portrayed as jovial behaviour. Bad Pumpkin !!!!
He could still lead our "D" in a heartbeat ............... but he'd scare a few into early retirement no doubt. Cason would be a dribbling mess at the mere sight of the Man.
No doubt Father Tom used his very very bestest machine gun on that one I'm sure. Any excuse to show off his "home arsenal" is taken with great delight. NO PUMP, we dont need to see your collection again now.
OHHHHHH..................OK then. Oh, so thats Gamble is it ....... right, my bad for not knowing that, can't say I'm all that up with ever GM in the NFL to be totally honest.....................FO peeps aren't really my thung if you get my drift. Right now Dave, I truly dont see it mattering a damn as to who these clowns hire, as I'm sure between "The Family", they'll still manage to undo any good anyone brings here .................thats how clueless I really do rate them, sorry. I use sarcasm and cynicism to hide my utter disgust Dave..................big believer in, "what the farg, it's a Circus, so lets have a laugh at their expense at least, rather than become emotionally unstable over it" I'll always "LOVE" my Chargers Dave, but I'll never use that excuse to blind my view.
Just who DO you truly root for ? Rams, Niners or CowGals !!!! ...... I'm totally confused at the moment.
Honestly, does it really take much to fool a fool ??? Where's he at now by the way ????....still selling Mr Whiffy "Soft Serve" by the roadside ?
I was not only hitting the lattes pretty good then, but also the carne asadas. NOBODY was coming near my arse without level 3 biohazard protocols.
I dunno Jack. Maybe, just maybe, someone in accounting figured out PowerPoint and made up a presentation showing the Spanos' just how much money the **** team was losing compared to the playoff caliber teams of old. AJ cost that family a fortune. Empty seats cuts gate, concession, parking, and souvenier revenues, and those 4 local blackouts? AJ had to keep millions out of their wallets. Yeah, revenue sharing cuts most of those losses to 1/32nd. But do you really think they are selling out the luxury boxes? The Spanos family may have just realized how true the old saying "it takes money to make money" really is. Well, at least I hope so
Precisely. For once, the fans forced change upon the ownership by using the only power they have...... to not purchase their product. If it wasn't for all the empty seats, Dean might still have held on to AJ.......and no, I'm not kidding. Bringing Ron Wolf into the equation is a positive in my view. Spanos has finally admitted that he can't make a good decision on the direction of this team without help. He would do well to listen to Ron's advice. Wolf is credited from taking the Packers from a perennial loser, to the team with the best overall winning record since he set up their FO. He even help Old Al back in the day. Not when he was going denial, but when they had players, and were winning championships. The rot may start at the top, but if you get the right people and structure in the front office, it can also be the foundation for a winning organization. AJ did a lot of damage to this team, but the right GM/HC hire can begin to rebuild the Chargers into a team that can again compete for a ring.
Michael Gehlken @UTgehlken Chargers have another coach vacancy to fill. Rich Bisaccia, special teams, headed to Auburn. Will be assistant HC in charge of STs/RBs.
I recall that. Jack was saying my title of Fartmaster was in serious jeopardy. So I'm starting to realize that it was a tactic to keep Jack and Gooey away from your backdoor. Well played my friend.......well played. By the way kiddies...........if you want to reach me you can on Facebook.
Oh my, what a slap in the face that is ...... Seriously !!!!!....fargin' AUBURN !!!!!....... They must have found the "money tree" that sCamster and his fellow teamates raped bare a few years back, now that Cheatin' Gene Chezik has filled his pockets and been given the arse, how nice for them. Oh well, so much for him being a candidate for OUR HC job ......can't say I ever understood what peeps saw in this guy to suggest he had that ability anyway. Guess it was the lure of the added responsibility of coaching the RB"s that swayed him......
Hello mate, hope all is well in your part of the World ........ They are still renovating that hotel in KC, where OKIE dropped that A-Bomb, I believe they even have a holiday to honor it these days, such was the mass of its occurrence. I'll be in touch soon, be good.
Well, just gone 9am....... Must be already close to 100 F !!!! It's ok though, it's only expected to get to around 112F, so that shouldn't be a problem in the least. FARGGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!
I believe when he saw he wasn't on the HC shortlist, that he did what was best for him.... considering he had no job security here.

Scotland holds a treasure trove of history in its many castles, both standing and ruins. Many of these castles were constructed in the 11th and 12th century and Kerelaw Castle is no exception. Unfortunately all that remains of Kerelaw Castle are the ruins.
Stevenston, Scotland is home to Kerelaw Castle, built in the 12th century. The castle has a very turbulent history. First held by the Lockhart's who were given a land grant, it was passed to the Campbell's of Loudoun and then to the Cunninghame's of Kilmaurs. In 1488, while in the Cunninghame's possession, the castle was burned to the ground as a result of a feud with the Earl of Eglinton. As an act of vengeance, the Cunninghames burned Eglinton Castle.

Left: éS Taido x Manwolf Right: éS Edward Machotaildrop
Skateboarding is really a sport of great passion, and éS Shoes has always been a firm believer and champion for big skate dreams. The skate brand recently did a collaboration with the movie Machotaildrop, a visually stunning tale about an amateur skateboarder who realizes his pro skating dreams while discovering a bizzare underbelly of the skateboarding world.
This trippy, critically-acclaimed movie takes its inspiration from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with its use of surreal cinematography and quirky storyline.

Does your software vendor or reseller keep raising fees year after year? Do you feel less like a long-term, loyal customer and more like an abused customer?
If so, you're not alone. In a normal year, I get lots of questions about controlling mature-deployment costs for major app's and shrinkwrap software products. These are long-term customers, using app's their organizations depend on and value. But they're looking to roll back the hands of time to the earlier days of their relationships with their software vendors and resellers, back to the days of attractive pricing that they under-appreciated at the time. Since about November 2008, these inquiries have increased dramatically. So, I thought I should offer up some tips for everyone to consider.
Timing and Initial Price – I realize it's not what you want to hear, but the best time to control costs for a software acquisition is at the time of acquistion. However you accomplish it, you have to get the best possible initial price that you can. Arm yourself with market knowledge, pit reseller against reseller, use a reverse auction process–whatever it takes. If your benchmark is 30% off of list, and you apply this benchmark across all of your new software acquisitions to the exclusion of other price negotiation strategies, you're leaving good money on the table. Initial cost is important to everyone, and everyone likes to think they got a good deal on everything they buy. But in terms of software purchases, initial cost is especially important because, regardless of what good cost-containment measures you might negotiate into your license, nearly all will be tied to your base pricing.
Terms and Conditions – If you want to control the long-term license and service fees for any software purchase, you need to add appropriate terms and conditions to your license agreement at the time of purchase. It's much more difficult (and sometimes impossible) to get these terms and conditions later. What Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) terms and conditions should you add? This probably deserves a separate post or two, but you should not ignore the following:
License Structure – Most software buyers will negotiate a particular license structure (seat, user, block, tiered user, etc.) that is best for them at the time of purchase, and leave it at that. What you should do instead is provide for alternative license structures, provide associated pricing for each now, and eliminate any penalties associated with switching from one structure to the other down the road. Then tie the alternative license structures to your other cost-containment provisions.
Most Favored Nations Clause – Use a meaningful Most Favored Nations Clause (MFNC), not the one your software vendor is willing to provide if you think to ask. A meaningulf MFNC must be interlinked with the other provisions of your license, and it must be auditable to be enforceable. It's possible to weave in language that deals with the fact that new customers typically receive better pricing that older, loyal customers (the Cable Company phenomenon).
Price Escalation Clauses – Again, don't stop with the standard CPI or other cap your vendor will provide–if you think to ask. Any meaningful Price Escalation Clause (PEC) will state that license and other fees will not increase by X% year over year. But this alone is not enough. Your goal is to create ceilings for price increases, not floors (typical PECs function as floors; next year's price is automatically base plus X%). With the price increase ceiling concept, you leave each successive price increase open to negotiation, but in no event will it be more than X%.
What if I didn't get all this good stuff at the time of my initial software acquisition? – Well, I would say you are the norm and not the exception. But all hope is not lost. Remember, everything is negotiable. And remember, too, that "negotiable" includes "re-negotiable".
If you are looking to re-negotiate existing licenses with your software vendors and resellers, there are many approaches you can take. What approach you choose depends on your particular starting point. But for any situation, you should probably conduct a Software Asset Management (SAM) exercise before you launch into your re-negotiation process. A good SAM exercise will help you determine where you're at presently with with your software deployments and corresponding licensures, and it should help you determine where you want to go for the future. A good SAM effort will help you determine the objectives of your re-negotiation process and how best to achieve them. For example, you may find that your organization's preference is to keep SoftCo's Tarantula module, but you could live without it. Use this and other information about your current use and licensure of SoftCo's products to your advantage.
Lastly, if you will undertake a re-negotiation process, that will be a good time to get (attempt to get) all of the good stuff mentioned above (buyer-favorable license terms and conditions). You don't want to go through the whole re-negotiation process and get some good price compression resluts, but find yourself wanting to roll back the hands of time again in 3-5 years.

The Salute Our Troops Caravan tour was a tremendous success this summer, raising over 3.1 million dollars for the USO, Wounded Warrior Project and other local military charities. Kangaroo Express is honored and humbled to support the brave men and women who serve our country, and we would like to thank all those who helped the program be such a success. Our associates, suppliers and especially our guests came together to create something special. We look forward to doing it again next year.
