Recent reviews:
March 11, 2014 - It is very slippery & does not stay in place at all on the dash board, center console etc. I was disappointed that I could not use it in my car. However, I have it on my kitchen counter & It makes a great "cacth all" for keys. etc. Even use it to set my coffee mug on. So it does come in handy & is cute, but not sticky at all. Does not adhere to any surface.
January 18, 2014 - Item received is NOT sticky, NOT non-slip. Spends more time on floor than dashboard. Removing from car to use as a "coaster"
January 15, 2014 - Cute and reasonably priced, but does not stick to my dash at all :(
January 10, 2014 - works great to keep my cell from sliding around
January 9, 2014 - bought this as a Christmas present for my partner. She LOVED it. It fits perfectly in the vehicle, love the large size. wonderful product.

Gulf Air pilots avert major tragedy
Manama, August 30, 2011
The professionalism of two Bahraini pilots averted a tragedy when a Gulf Air flight skidded off the runway on Monday while landing at Kochi International Airport in India due to extreme wet weather conditions.
This was in addition to the well-serviced aircraft and contribution of the cabin crew, according to passengers.
'This was not the pilots' first time at Kochi and they know the conditions well,' said Gulf Air chief operating officer Captain Nasser Al Salmi.
He said the pilot, who is 35, had been with the airline since 2002 and had experience in flying Airbus A320, 330 and 340.
'He has now been a captain for the last 18 months,' Capt Al Salmi told a Press conference at the Gulf Air headquarters in Muharraq.
He said the co-pilot, 37, had joined Gulf Air last year and had several years' experience with other airlines.
'The aircraft also has an up-to-date service record and has been in service for only 18 months,' said Capt Al Salmi.
He said all 137 passengers were evacuated from the aircraft within two minutes.
'No one jumped from the plane, but some sustained injuries as a result of evacuation-related procedures,' said Capt Al Salmi.
'We think the incident happened as a result of bad weather, but we have to wait for investigations to conclude.'
Capt Al Salmi said the cockpit voice recorder and the black box would determine the exact cause of the incident.
'Experts from Airbus, who are already in Kochi, would also be involved in the investigations,' he said.
A special team comprising officials from care and support, engineering and safety, legal and insurance as well as two representatives from Bahrain's Civil Aviation Affairs (CAA) had been deployed to co-ordinate with authorities for further investigations and recovery of the aircraft.
'The aircraft remained fully intact, but suffered a nose gear collapse during the skid,' said Capt Al Salmi.
He said the airline was co-operating fully with Indian and Bahraini civil aviation authorities to identify the cause of the incident.
Meanwhile, Gulf Air passengers, who escaped unharmed, spoke of the calm professionalism of crew and ground authorities.
Seven passengers were injured in evacuation-related procedures, though only one required hospital care for a broken leg sustained as he reportedly jumped off the emergency chute.
Passengers K H Abdul Nessir said that there was an announcement from the cockpit that they would land at 3.55am.
'As we landed, there was a sudden noise and then the plane dipped towards the front suddenly,' he said, speaking from his home in Alleppey, near Kochi.
'A million thoughts crossed my mind before I heard the calm voice of one of the cabin crew asking passengers to evacuate. The crew were very calm and professional and that gave passengers a lot of confidence.'
'Some of the passengers wanted to be the first to get out while also collect their cabin baggage and, in their panic, jumped off the emergency slides that had been deployed.'
Nessir, who works in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, for a Bahrain-based company, said many of the passengers followed cabin crew advice and evacuated from the slide.
'We were on the ground in heavy rain for a few minutes before buses arrived to take us to the terminal building,' he said.
He said all passengers were at the terminal building in around 30 minutes.
'The pilots and crew were there as well and spoke to us. They were very friendly and calm and we felt good,' said Nessir.
Nessir later left Kochi for Alleppey, along with his wife, son and grandchild.
Isa Abdulredha Al Shaikh, 34, a businessman, the only Bahraini on board, said he was fast asleep when there was a loud noise and the plane shook violently.
'I woke up to see everyone in panic and trying to leave the aircraft,' he said.
'I, however, made my way to the nearest exit with the cabin crew's help and exited the plane safely. Some people were injured because apparently they slipped in the wet conditions and some may have jumped in panic.'
He said he was approached by the two pilots and crew inside the terminal building.
'The whole process was handled in a very professional manner,' he said.-TradeArabia News Service

"Obama's First 100 days in office"
led by Dole Fellow Scott Burnett & Director Bill Lacy
- Categories: Dole Study Groups, Politics | All
- Event posted: Feb. 9, 2009
- Last updated: Feb. 19, 2009
Event details
- Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
- Dole Institute of Politics, KU campus, Lawrence
- Cost: Free
- Age limit: All ages
The Dole Institute of Politics' spring semester study group, "Obama's First 100 Days," will begin Tuesday, Feb. 17. Sessions will meet from 4 to 5:30 p.m. every Tuesday into April, except for March 17, in the Simons Media Room at the Dole Institute.The not-for-credit study group allows students and the public to participate in a bipartisan examination and discussion of the activities and significance of the new administration's first 100 days."With President Obama promising a less-partisan approach in the Oval Office, we wanted to mirror that spirit of cooperation with a bipartisan study group focusing on the new administration," said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute. "Traditionally, the institute hosts separate Republican and Democratic study groups lasting seven to eight weeks. This will be a first for us: a study group that is co-led and runs through the semester to fully examine the first 100 days."The study group will be led by Dole Fellow Scott Burnett and Lacy. Burnett served as director of the Presidential Speakers Bureau during President Jimmy Carter's administration from 1977 to 1981. Lacy served as White House political director and deputy assistant to President Ronald Reagan. Burnett and Lacy will host political practitioners, journalists and other observers as they offer their perspectives on President Obama's first 100 days."I'm excited to examine previous administrations' first 100 days in office and compare them to President Obama's. History should provide us great insight for the new president's administration," said Burnett.Burnett's political career did not end when he left the White House. In 1998, he was elected to the Jackson County, Mo., legislature, where he currently serves as legislative chairman. He is also a senior partner at SGB Communications, a government relations and campaign management firm in Kansas City, Mo. Burnett's early political career included service in the Congressional offices of U.S. Reps. Bill Roy and Martha Keys of Kansas in the mid-1970s. After serving in the Carter administration, he also served as Missouri state coordinator for the Carter/Mondale re-election campaign in 1980. Following his professional career on the national political scene, Burnett worked for PPM Inc., an environmental remediation company.Lacy has served as director of the Dole Institute since 2004. In 2007, Lacy took a leave of absence to serve as campaign manager for Fred Thompson's presidential run. In his early political career, Lacy held various positions in the Republican National Committee, including political director. Lacy left the RNC to serve in the Reagan administration until 1986. Following his White House roles, Lacy worked as a strategist for various national political campaigns, including those of Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas and President George H.W. Bush.This is the 10th semester for the Dole Institute study group program. Lacy hosted Burnett as a guest in fall 2004 during the first Dole Institute study group.

The Harry Potter series.
Seriously for the haters, just give it a try. My SO refused to read it for 20 years and I finally convinced her to read it (I said I will read with her). She ended up finishing the series without me. Then she went to Harry Potter land and claims to be a bigger fan than I am. Also, don't give up after the first book. It gets significantly better.

My SO refused to read it for 20 years...
The first book was released in 1997.
EDIT: formatting
[–]mootwo14 156 points157 points158 points 1 year ago
Obviously she didn't read it until 2017.
[–]blackbird9184 21 points22 points23 points 1 year ago
I'm assuming he meant until she was 20 years old and just worded it kind of weird.
[–]Whybother553 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
This is all just a prediction. She still hasn't started.

OP is just very hopeful, he is confident he'll get her to read it in a few years, all planned out don't worry. Meet her around now, marry in 2014, badger her until she reads it in 2017.
[–]imablaziken 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I think he meant in dog years.

Not in the states, it wasn't. The first book actually takes place in 1991, interestingly enough.
Britain had it for a few years before it went international.
[–]Spudface 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
In the states it was released in 1998. The reason it is set in 1991 is because that is when JK Rowling started writing it, but all the publishers she sent it to refused it, bet they are regretting that.

I bet you feel very very clever right now don't you?
Except you completely forgot Hyperbole, which this clearly was. Now you just look like a pretentious douche.
[–]Jackoby1991 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
If it was a hyperbole, I would have expected it to be phrased more like a hyperbole. E.g. "My SO refused to read it for like 20 years until I finally convinced her to..." If the original comment was actually meant as a hyperbole, I think it requires tone of voice to portray it.
As for feeling clever, no. I feel bad for not merely pointing out the mistake rather than using the opportunity to gain some meager comment karma (Sorry about that yummypoutine).
However, after writing this response I can say that I feel clever.
[–]iruleatants -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago
It doesn't require it, and it was meant to be a hyperbole. I suppose he should have just said 5ever so you wouldn't complain, that way you can grasp the concept of an exaggeration.

I don't think there is going to be any winning talking to you. Oh well! Happy cake day!

Mark Shuttleworth Declares Mir A Performance Win
Published on 09 July 2013 10:26 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
135 Comments
Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth has been running the Mir Display Server for the past two weeks. After doing so, he's very happy with the Mir experience in Ubuntu 13.10 at this stage in its development and already feels that it's smoother than with X. He's blogged about his experience of running Mir on Ubuntu Linux.
With it now being
easy to setup Mir
and run the Unity 7 desktop over XMir, the packages will be integrated into the main Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy" archive soon after its received the go-ahead from QA and the release team. Mark has been running Mir from the PPA for the past two weeks and he has the following thoughts:
- His (Intel-based) system feels "smoother" than it did pre-Mir, but there were also other non-Mir package changes that could be responsible.
- According to his top watching, Xorg and Compiz are now using less memory and fewer CPU cycles while running under Mir compared to when Xorg was banging on the hardware directly.
- "The overall impression I have is that Mir has delivered what we hoped."
- "I believe Mir will be able to evolve faster than the competition." Mark also praises the Mir API rather than going for a rigid protocol.
- "Providing Mir as an option is easy."
- "On Ubuntu, we're committed that every desktop environment perform well with Mir, either under X or directly."

First to ReviewSep 20, 2013Turkey simply does not get enough credit for it's role in Christian history. The Basilica of Saint John was built by the Byzantines on the final resting place of Saint John the Evangelist. Today it's kind of a marvelous open air ruin on top of the hill overlooking town but it's visited by almost no one except a handful of eager tourists and stray cats.

Quote:Jim, I have both of those and honestly, regardless of the stats and numbers, and the sizes of the obstruction, et al, unless you sit down with both at the same time and compare views on different objects, you'll never know which is "better" because they're both really very good and very similar. Perhaps an astrophile might make hay over this or that, but even if you can see the differences, would they really matter? Overall I'd say no.If I had to choose just one, I'd pick the C6. Why? Because it's a bit faster (slightly wider field) and a bit more aperture. I view the Mak as a bit more specialized and the C6 a tad bit more versatile. You're not giving up a single thing by going with the C6 - it's that good!I bought the C6 new from HighPoint and the Mak used. Why both? Because the Mak was very nice used and, well, just because.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- There's at least one stimulus program that's creating jobs and winning praise from both sides of the political aisle.
A little-known Recovery Act initiative is expected to put more than 200,000 unemployed people back to work in 32 states and the District of Columbia. It's called the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Emergency Fund, and it subsidizes jobs with private companies, nonprofits and government agencies.
But the $5 billion it receives runs out on Sept. 30, even though employers and state officials administering the money say there's lots more demand out there.
"It would be such a shame," said Jan Vogel, executive director of a Los Angeles area agency that has placed more than 10,000 workers. "How much more productive can a program be than putting people to work?"
Congress is considering a year-long extension that would add $2.5 billion. But the proposal is bogged down in political wrangling over the nation's exploding deficit.
While the Obama administration's $787 billion stimulus program has become a popular target for GOP attacks, the subsidized jobs initiative has been adopted by Republican and Democratic governors and policy analysts alike.
"It's a pretty cost-effective way to create jobs," said Kevin Hassett, director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, a business-oriented group that promotes free enterprise. "We should be creative about seeking ways to get people connected to the workforce again."
Even Haley Barbour, the Mississippi governor who headed the Republican National Committee in the mid-1990s, had high praise for the effort.
The "program will provide much-needed aid during this recession by enabling businesses to hire new workers, thus enhancing the economic engines of our local communities," Barbour said when the initiative launched last year. (Read 'Stimulus: The big bang is over')
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, known as TANF, was created as part of the 1996 welfare reform effort.
States, which received $16.5 billion in federal TANF funds last year, have a lot of flexibility on how to distribute the money to help low-income households with children.
The Recovery Act injected another $5 billion into the program and created an emergency fund. States have used about half the stimulus money to provide cash grants, food programs, housing assistance and other aid.
But the fastest-growing segment of the emergency fund is the subsidized jobs program. States have already put $615 million to work, according to the Center for Law and Social Policy, an advocacy group known as CLASP. It expects states to fund a total of 200,000 jobs before the program expires.
"This provides a low-risk way for employers to hire," said Elizabeth Lower-Basch, senior policy analyst at CLASP. "Employers will do their best to keep people."
Around the country, companies have signed up for a wide range of reasons. Some are eager to expand, but others see it as a way to dip their toe back into hiring.
DBA Logistics, a freight forwarding company based in Hawthorne, Calif., took 32 previously unemployed people to work in its warehouse and in other departments. It receives a subsidy of $10 an hour per employee.
The program has allowed DBA to broaden its hiring base. The company plans to keep most of the new employees even after the subsidy runs out.
"It gives us access to a new pool of labor that we otherwise wouldn't have," said Duke Dukesherer, the firm's executive vice president for the Americas. "They are good workers."
The workers are thankful to have a job. After hitting the unemployment line six months ago, Michael Terry now loads and unloads trucks, drives a forklift and stacks boxes for DBA.
"I'm financially stable right now," said Terry, a Los Angeles resident who has two toddlers and another baby on the way. "I can pay my bills."
Dorothy Polite, meanwhile, saw the stimulus program as a way to expand her one-woman enterprise, which focuses on speech therapy and training in the Los Angeles area. She brought on two workers to answer the phone, schedule appointments and organize her files -- all tasks she used to do herself.
Instead, Polite has focused on getting more certifications and lining up more contracts with agencies.
"It gave me more time to generate more business," said Polite, who is looking to hire both workers permanently.
In Louisville, Miss., Taylor Machine Works used the subsidy to rehire 13 people it had laid off. The forklift truck manufacturer has seen business pick up lately and needs more welders, machinists, painters and assemblymen.
Mississippi provides six months of subsidies, paying 100% of salaries for two months and then gradually reducing the assistance to 25% by the sixth month. The program has proven very popular with employers, who have kept all but 3% to 4% of the participants, said Stan McMorris, deputy executive director of the state's Department of Employment Security.
Taylor intends to hire more people if it can before the program ends on Sept. 30.
"This money has helped us bring them back to work sooner," said Inez Blumenfeld, employment supervisor. "We don't intend to lay them off again."

Kevin Kelly at FFWD: 'Data flow is the new media'
FFWD Advertising & Marketing Week in Toronto kicked off with a presentation by Kevin Kelly, founding executive editor of
magazine, on the evolution of content.
Kelly spoke on the surge of technology and how its ever-increasing pace of innovation affects the world of marketing and media. Personal computers began as clunky, niche devices that grew to spawn a landscape of screens and constant streams of user data. Screens have jumped from desktops to pockets and are finding homes on walls throughout the personal and public space. "The flow of data is the new media," Kelly said.
Kevin Kelly, founding executive editor of Wired and author of Cool Tools, at FFWD 2014
From the page to the screen
"Western culture was founded on the book," said Kelly. "Now, the culture revolves entirely around the screen, and sensibilities are much more dynamic."
As screens become more ubiquitous, sprouting in cars and restaurants and other places (until they will be literally "everywhere," Kelly said), the audience follows. More importantly, these screens are not silos, creating an ecosystem of info typified by the now common practice of using secondary screens, such as a cell phone or tablet, while simultaneously watching television and/or working on a laptop.
"Sharing" is the verb of the screen, said Kelly, and the more that is shared the more the cloud of big data grows in size and influence. "The more data is shared, the more valuable it is," he said. The prominence of sharing means the audience's perception of ownership is evolving, as consumers increasingly choose personalization and vanity over privacy, he said.
The importance of attention
"Wherever attention flows, money will follow," said Kelly. The data is out there for a revolution of how media and marketing companies reach their target audience, he said. "Gain attention, gain influence." Kelly floated several ideas of how data could be leveraged, including the possibility of paying consumers to view ads, or prompting readers to curate ads for themselves.
Magazine publishers can't curate their ads like they do with content, but if consumers did that for themselves and publishers were then paid to run the ads, advertisers would be pushed to either create better ads or pay more for less attention-grabbing campaigns. Magazines, perhaps both print and digital, could carry personalized ad spots. "Imagine a peer to peer prosumer ad network--social ads," said Kelly.
Follow the flow
"The new organizing metaphor is chronological, streams and flow," Kelly said. Content, whether Twitter, Netflix or Next Issue digital magazine streams, is constant and emphasizes access over ownership.
The idea of the "quantified self" has consumers using their technology to track their health, location, life events and consumption patterns, leading to an external memory of data culled from increasingly sophisticated devices. "Data is as valuable as your customers," Kelly said. "The flow of data is the new media."
The stream is the new system, and successful brands will be the ones that learn to market to this system. "The screen ecology is where your audience is…amplify the sharing and follow the attention," Kelly said.

The Three Christs of Ypsilanti experiment would never work with cats because it's a given that all cats know they're gods.
Renata Adler, back in print
I was lying on a Mediterranean boat deck, on a windless day. It was odd that I should be there, but no more odd than my work, or the slums, or the places where people do find themselves as their luck shifts. A girl of eighteen was taking the sun with great seriousness. The rest of our party were swimming, or playing cards below, or drinking hard. The girl was blond, shy, and laconic. After two hours of silence, in that sun, she spoke. 'When you have a tan,' she said, 'what have you got?'
Today Renata Adler's much-talked-about novels, Speedboat and Pitch Dark, are back in print. The above quotation is from Speedboat, and we think gives a good sense of the episodic style and brutal perception that has made Adler and her novels so influential, and much in discussion recently at places like The New York Times Book Review, New York magazine, 3:AM magazine, The Guardian, Off on a Tangent blog, Chicago Tribune (behind a paywall), Slate, Quarterly Conversation, and The New Yorker's Page-Turner blog.
"The entire book is a reflection on what it means to try to see the literary past more closely"
It consists of biographical essays of seven major Latin poets, and a final essay on Rome itself during the years of the early Empire—but that description doesn't quite capture the unusualness of the book's tone or approach. With his usual sense of showmanship, Highet writes nothing as boring as mere biography. He intersperses his vivid sketches of the lives of the poets with travelogues of his journeys through the Italian countryside to their ostensible homes and birthplaces; extensive cultural trivia; a number of elegant ad hoctranslations of Latin poetry; and wild if memorable palaces of historical fantasization built on the homelier facts of his subjects' lives. And in doing so, he accomplishes something that every classicist aspires to do, but few actually achieve: he brings the literature of the classical world to life for the curious but otherwise uninformed reader.
—From a review of Gilbert Highet's Poets in a Landscape by Spencer Lenfield at Open Letters Monthly.
"Now the landowner we visited had good people. I like to have a talk, if people are good; we're always friends, fine friends, with good people: drink tea, have a bite to eat—I'm very happy to do that if people are good. Anyone will pay respect to good people."
― Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls
For NYRB's Classics and Coffee Club
(Kálmán, in his mind still back in the neighborhood of the Museum Boulevard, imagined his nose detected, in the aroma of steaming black coffee, the ineffably sweet scent of a young lady's lingerie…. Eveline kept reverberating in his head, an incantation, a mantra protecting him from all danger.)
—Gyula Krúdy, Sunflower

dapenguinninja asked: What is designated as bad poetry?
To quote Billy Collins in his introduction to The Stuffed Owl: An Anthology of Bad Verse: "…truly bad poetry, or Good Bad Poetry, goes beyond the insipid of the dull and manages to delight us by attaining new depths of dreadfulness. Poetry that is below average disappoints and leaves us numb, but Good Bad Poetry produces an undeniable reaction by making us laugh or at least infusing us with a feeling of superiority."

"How to be useful and make something of oneself"?
Mother love is said to be sacred in America, but with all the reverence and lip service she is paid, mom is a pretty safe target, no matter how correctly or incorrectly her failures are interpreted. No one has ever been blacklisted or fired for an attack on 'the American woman.' Apart from the psychological pressures from mothers or wives, there have been plenty of nonsexual pressures in the America of the last decade—the compromising, never-ceasing, competition, the anonymous and often purposeless work in the big organization—that also kept a man from feeling like a man. Safer to take it out on his wife and his mother than to recognize a failure in himself or in the sacred American way of life. The men were not always kidding when they said their wives were lucky to be able to stay at home all day. It was also soothing to rationalize the rat race by telling themselves that they were in it 'for the wife and kids.' And so men re-created their own childhood in suburbia, and made mothers of their wives. Men fell for the mystique without a murmur of dissent. It promised them mothers for the rest of their lives, both as a reason for their being and as an excuse for their failures. Is it so strange that boys who grow up with too much love become men who can never get enough?
—From Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, currently celebrating its 50th anniversary of publication. After reading this section we realized that Friedan and Paul Goodman (Growing Up Absurd), despite having completely opposite subjects—housewives for the former, male juvenile delinquents for the latter—, actually have the same social goal in mind.

The Paris Review explains how J.R. Ackerley's writing can remind us why we cared about writing—and life—in the first place.
Checking in on Thoreau: "The first pleasant days of spring come out like a squirrel and go in again."
Four Striped Ground Squirrels by John James Audubon, via Princeton University LibraryMarch 7 [1855]. We were walking along the sunny hillside on the south of Fair Haven Pond (on the 4th), which the choppers had just laid bare, when, in a sheltered and warmer place, we heard a rustling amid the dry leaves on the hillside and saw a striped squirrel eying us from its resting-place on the bare ground. It sat still till we were within a rod, then suddenly dived into its hole, which was at its feet, and disappeared. The first pleasant days of spring come out like a squirrel and go in again.

Whistling at work: Florida Bank CEO grows bank from 'zero'
- Paul Ivice
Don Roberts is having fun again. After 30 years in banking, 14 of them at Barnett Bank of Jacksonville, being president and CEO of 2-year-old Florida Bank of Jacksonville is like having a new toy.
A native Texan, Roberts moved to Jacksonville from Houston in 1984, partly because his wife's parents live here. His father-in-law, Bill Nash, is president of the south-central home office of Prudential.
"If I owned a bank, he'd be the first guy I'd want to come work for me," said attorney Charlie Towers, a longtime friend and customer.
That's pretty much what Charlie Hughes did when he started Florida Banks, the holding company for the banks in Jacksonville, Ocala, Gainesville, Tampa, Clearwater and Fort Lauderdale.
"His was the first name that came to mind for the Jacksonville bank," said Hughes, who has known Roberts since the mid-1980s when Hughes served as president and CEO of Florida National Bank. "Don is just a first-rate banker and we're excited we got him."
When Roberts went to work at Barnett as senior credit officer, he was hired by Hugh Jones, then president and CEO. "He was very well qualified, was very good with customers and people around him liked working with him," said Jones, who retired in 1993.
"He has good bank experience � he's forthright, aggressive," Hughes said.
So far, Hughes has no complaints. In two years, Roberts has grown the Florida Bank of Jacksonville from nothing to $115 million in assets, now the biggest of the six banks in Florida Banks.
Roberts doesn't see any big changes in his near future. "It's too much fun to go somewhere else," he said. "When I joined Charlie, there wasn't a bank. We had some seed money from some foreign investors."
