DescriptionThe Tieton (Tie-eh-ton) River crags are spread out along a twenty-mile stretch of the Tieton River drainage, on the east slope of the south Cascades. Most of the crags are andesite (similar to basalt), part of a fifty-mile long flow from the ancient Goat Rocks volcano. By some accounts it's the world's longest andesite flow. Getting ThereIf you're coming from Seattle or north, cross the Cascades on I-90, then take I-82 to Yakima. From Yakima, head west on Highway 12 approximately 20 miles, turning left where Highway 12 branches off of Highway 410. The first major crag (the Royal Columns) is about two miles ahead on the left, across from the Oak Creek Wildlife Area headquarters. Drive time approximately 3 hours. 127 Total Routes

A queen of comedy has died. Phyllis Diller had audiences in stitches for more than five decades with her outlandish get-ups and rapid-fire one-liners. She died at her home, where she had been in hospice care after a fall. She was 95.
Diller was glamorously outrageous — or at least the character she created was glamorously outrageous, the one who wore wigs that made her look like she had her finger in an electrical outlet, who wore gaudy sequined outfits. She was known for her laugh and those nasty jokes about her dimwitted husband, "Fang."
The family of well-known Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya, who was killed in a car crash in July, claims that the Cuban government may have had a role in his death.
But as new details come to light, it appears that a European activist who came to help Paya ended up accidentally killing him on a trip gone horribly wrong.
Actually, two Europeans, both 27, were in the car with Paya at the time of his death. The Europeans had met through Facebook.

Roxana Castro sits in an orange chair in the waiting room at Mary's Center in Washington, D.C. She's 17, and expecting a baby boy next month. The pregnancy was a surprise, she says, mostly for her parents, but also for the baby's father.
Even with her mother's help, Castro admits she's nervous. The father of the baby says he'll be there, but she knows this is a big responsibility, and says she's not ready to start a family just yet.
"A baby is so fragile," she says. "I don't know how to take care of it or anything."
Weekends on All Things Considered continues its "Why Music Matters" series with a story from the operating room.
"The O.R. is a naturally rhythmic place, in that you have the beating of the anesthesia machines and the autoclave comes on," says Divya Singh, an orthopedic and hand surgeon. "So music just becomes another sound."
All it takes to enter a time warp in New Hampshire is $15 and a summer afternoon. Spanning more than 250 years of American history, Strawbery Banke is the oldest neighborhood in the state's oldest city, Portsmouth.
It's kind of like Virginia's Colonial Williamsburg — lite. Stationed inside many of the 37 homes are re-enactors in different period garb. Inside a hulking white house, it's 1872.
In just a few weeks, we will mark the seventh anniversary of one of the country's deadliest hurricanes. New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are still recovering from the devastating damage and loss of life caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita — the storm that would follow.
In the 1920s, the sound of music in the black church underwent a revolution. Standing at 40th and State Street in Chicago, Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ was a witness to what occurred.
The high-energy gospel beat of the music that can still be heard in this Pentecostal church is the creation, music critics say, of Arizona Dranes, a blind piano player, a woman who introduced secular styles like barrelhouse and ragtime to the church's music.

In an alley in Little Village on Chicago's West Side, the faint sound of music from a Spanish-speaking radio station wafts in the air and garbage cans are sprayed with gang graffiti. They look like the tattoos on 17-year-old Elias Roman's arms.
"This [alleyway] right here is where I caught my first gun case," says Elias, who was born and raised in the neighborhood, home to a large Mexican-American community.

The weak economy is helping to drive thousands more college graduates into the U.S. military.
Since the recession began in 2007, there's been a steady increase in the number of college graduates joining the armed forces. The Navy and Army have seen the biggest jumps. About 60 percent more college grads joined the Navy last year than in 2007.
For some of them, it's a job some would never have imagined for themselves just a few years ago.

Over the last two years, Wisconsin seems to have suddenly become an epicenter of national politics and, even more so, conservative politics. Governor Scott Walker survived a hotly contested recall effort following a big battle with the unions.

Hope Solo is generally regarded as the best women's goalkeeper in the world. Fresh off winning her third-straight Olympic gold medal with the U.S. national team, Solo has been as busy off the field as on it, releasing an autobiography titled Solo: A Memoir of Hope.
The memoir details her rise as an international celebrity, but it also focuses on the complicated relationship she had with her father, who taught her to play soccer.
If you ever listened to jazz vocalists and wondered if you could ever in your life scat like them, there's someone who's willing to teach you. The vocalist Rhiannon has long held the importance of improvisation as a personal credo, and in her career has blended that art form with jazz, world music and storytelling.

There are roughly 21 funerals a day at Arlington National Cemetery. The majority are simple graveside burials. But for those soldiers who have earned "full honors," the casket is brought to the grave by a team of horses pulling a caisson.
These horses are the subject of a new series of portraits by 35-year-old Dutch photographer Charlotte Dumas now on view at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The horses seem sad, and Dumas says that's what drives her work.

All good things must come to an end, and it appears as though fan favorite Torii Hunter's days in a Halo's uniform have come to an end; with the door only slightly cracked for the mayor of "Toriitown" to return. After signing a 5 year $90-million deal with the Angels on November 22, 2007 Hunter seemed like the perfect fit for the team. Sure his contract was a little on the pricey side and sure he didn't appear on paper as the "impact" player the team had been seeking the previous season or so but none the less the marriage seemed perfect; it was consummated at a Del Taco after all.From afar, I think we all could agree that Hunter was and is the type of player that any fan would love to have on their team. The former 1st round pick of the 1993 amateur draft spent 9 full seasons in Minnesota where he made two All-Star appearances and compiled 192 home runs, 711 rbi's, swiped 126 bases all while hitting .271 with a .793 OPS.

Operation Summary for January 29, 2010 - February 1, 2010 |
The Integrated Luminosity for the period from 1/25/10 to 2/1/10 was 15.03 pb-1. Friday Jan. 29 The day shift began with the Tevatron (TeV) recovering from a quench, with Linac personnel repairing a LCW leak on a Klystron RF station (KRF2), with the Recycler, Antiproton Source, Booster, Main Injector, NuMI, MiniBooNE, and MTest experiments waiting for the KRF2 repair, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) experiment waiting for the next store. During the day shift, the TeV recovery continued. Operations put the TeV through a dry squeeze while D0 personnel made an access into their collision hall. Linac personnel repaired the KRF2 LCW leak; Linac resumed sending beam at 11:30 AM. The D0 low beta magnets quenched during a dry squeeze and a TeV quadrupole power supply (D0Q6) tripped off with a ground fault indication. Humidity levels increased in the vicinity of D0Q6 and the TeV water loop indicated an LCW leak. TeV personnel accessed and found the bolted joint for the D0Q6 warm bus connection had been compromised. Both ceramic connections were broken, spraying LCW onto the magnet and a local ion pump gauge. Mechanical support personnel began repairs. A MI-10 quadrupole power supply failed. The MI ramp was halted in order for EE Support personnel to investigate. They replaced an SCR gate firing fanout board and MI resumed sending beam by 4 PM. During the evening shift, mechanical personnel completed their repair of D0Q6 at 6:30 PM. TeV turn on and checkout followed. Operations put the TeV into a HEP shot setup at 9:30 PM. The shot setup ended with a quench of the D0 low betas due to a D0Q2 lead failure. Operations called in EE Support personnel to investigate. Beam was delivered to the Pbar Source, NuMI, MiniBooNE, and MTest when available. Pbar transferred antiprotons to the Recycler when appropriate. Saturday Jan. 30 The midnight shift began with TeV and cryo system personnel investigating the quench, with Operations monitoring the stash (59.6E10), with Pbar stacking (19.8E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, TeV personnel continued to investigate the lead failure from the previous shift. EE Support personnel came in to troubleshoot upstairs. No obvious problems were found; TeV personnel accessed to investigate in the tunnel. Technicians reconnected and reterminated the lead voltage connections and the TeV turn on followed. Just prior to ramping, TeV sector B3 quenched due to bad inductance settings for the B32 cell. Operations recovered the TeV and successfully completed a dry squeeze and two rounds of orbit checks. During the day shift, Operations had the TeV in shot setup by 8:45 AM, but it came to an abrupt halt when a TeV kicker (AAK1) pre-fired causing a messy abort that quenched several houses. Recovery lasted several hours. Unfortunately, the TeV magnets at BA and BB quenched unexpectedly during the TeV checkout and turn on. The TeV A11 Kautzky valve developed an electrical problem and would not close. As a result, cryo system techs accessed the Transfer Hall to make repairs. The TeV abort kickers were put in conditioning mode during the access. During the evening shift, cryo techs had the Kautzky valve at A11 repaired by 9 AM; TeV recovery and turn on followed. A flaky water temperature interlock for the Gradient Magnet Power Supply (GMPS) prompted a Booster access to investigate. Sunday Jan. 31 The midnight shift began with a Booster access, with Operations monitoring the stash and stack, and with NuMI and MiniBooNE waiting on Booster beam. During the midnight shift, the TeV A2 dump would not make up following a dump test. EE Support personnel responded and replaced a failed breaker. Operations successfully conducted a TeV QBS ramp at 1:30 AM. Booster personnel jumpered the errant GMPS interlock and beam operations resumed by 3 AM. Operations checked the TeV orbits and put the TeV into shot setup at 3:45 AM. The TeV B11 vertical separator sparked during the squeeze and ended another shot setup prematurely. Operations put the separator into conditioning mode while the cryo systems recovered; Operations checked out the TeV and prepared for another turn on. During the day shift, Operations completed the TeV checkout, turn-on, and orbit checks and had the TeV in shot setup by 12:15 PM. Operations established store 7559 at 1:30 PM with an Average Initial Luminosity (AIL) of 227E30. During the evening shift, at 5 PM, the B11 vertical separator sparked again and caused E1 to quench and then a Kautzky valve at E1 stuck in its open position; cryo techs accessed the TeV for repairs. Operations put the B11 vertical separator into conditioning mode for the rest of the shift. Cryo recovery was well underway by the end of the shift. Monday Feb. 1 The midnight shift began with the TeV recovering from a quench, with Operations monitoring the stash, with Pbar stacking, and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, the TeV checkout and turn on continued from the previous shift. The TeV E1 cryo system recovery proceeded slowly due to issues with the vacuum. To make matters worse, once the E1 cryo system was ready to initiate the cold compressor pumpdown, the compressor would not start up and needed to be replaced. Operations called in cryo techs to make the necessary repairs. The cryo techs had the E1 cryo system recovered by 2:15 AM. Operations had the TeV ramping by 2:30 AM. Operators took the B11 separator out of conditioning mode and checked the orbits prior to shot setup, which began at 4:15 AM. Operations established store 7562 at 5:45 AM with an AIL of 259E30. The Plans for Monday The Run Coordinator will allow Pbar personnel to access their water cage and for Recycler personnel to conduct studies. The plans for the rest of the day are to stack, stash, and store. |

In this family photo, Christiaan Bush is shown with his grandmother, Grace Bush. (Submitted photo) |
Christiaan Bush started thinking about enlisting in the armed forces when he was about 6 years old, his mother said Thursday.
"I wouldn't let him do it right out of high school," said Amy Werner of Clear Spring.
So instead of going into the service at that point, he enrolled in Universal Technical Institute in Exton, Pa., to study auto mechanics, Werner said.
When Bush finished that training, he still wanted to go into the military, Werner said.
"That was his way of contributing and doing his part. He had a passion for it," she said.
Bush, 22, a Hagerstown resident and a 2007 graduate of Smithsburg High School, was killed Sunday night at Fort Stewart, Ga., when the motorcycle he was riding collided with a car, a post official said Wednesday.
Bush was riding north on Ga. 119 near the Noncommissioned Officer Academy when a car attempted to pass a pickup truck and another car, post spokesman Kevin Larson said.
When the car and Bush's motorcycle collided, his motorcycle slid under it, Larson said.
Werner said her son was heading back to his barrack when the crash occurred.
She said Christiaan, who was a tank gunner stationed at Fort Stewart, received an Army Achievement Medal among other honors and had been performing duties she didn't even know about, such as going up in Black Hawk helicopters.
"Keeping it from mom," Werner said.
Bush, who was serving in the Third Infantry Division, enlisted on Jan. 4, 2011, at Fort Knox, Ky., and graduated from boot camp on April 29, 2011, his mother said. Bush was sent to Fort Stewart on May 9 and had just been promoted to private first class, Werner said.
Werner described her son as level-headed, having a big heart and always being concerned about his family.
"He made sure he was taking care of everybody," Werner said.
Bush attended Grace Baptist Church in Waynesboro, Pa., played for Valley Little League in Chewsville and enjoyed hunting and fishing with his grandfather, his mother said.
Bush attended Heritage Academy before he graduated from Smithsburg High. He and his fiancee, Meagan Bromley of Greencastle, Pa., had been together for seven years, Werner said.

Associated Press
DINWIDDIE, Va. —
A man accused of killing a Virginia State Police trooper is facing more charges.
Russell E. Brown of Chesterfield had been charged with capital murder, attempted capital murder and two firearms counts.
Last month, a Dinwiddie County grand jury indicted the 28-year-old Chesterfield man on the original charges and additional counts of attempted murder, malicious shooting and another firearms charge.
Commonwealth's Attorney Lisa Caruso tells The Progress-Index (http://bit.ly/12JSZqH ) that the new charges were added after more information was received.
Brown is charged with fatally shooting Master Trooper Junius Walker on Interstate 85 in Dinwiddie County on March 7.
According to court documents, Brown told investigators that God made him do it.
Caruso says the results of a court-ordered evaluation of Brown have not yet come back.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
As a retri pally, I love having replenishment. Combined with my other buffs, it makes me feel useful beyond my damage output, especially when I could theoretically be a tank or healer which are generally more highly regarded. I guess most shadow priests feel the same.
I feel it's different for hunters. Before Wrath came out, I experimented with survival in Kara and after our first run my brother (resto shammy) said "Don't ever spec back to beast mastery." When a class has three DPS specs and one has a "required" buff, there is a strong chance that the other two will be marginalised.

Psalm 27:8
New King James Version
8. When You said, "Seek My face," My heart said to You, "Your face, LORD, I will seek."
There is something very tender and heartwarming about an all-powerful God who is asking us, mere humans to seek His face. It's not like He's in need of us doing this, yet He pursues us with passion and desire for fellowship and, He still does not "lord it over" us as if we were His lowly servants. He calls us His children and friends.
Why is it that our God should have to ask us to seek His face? He is the one who gave us life and breath and blessed us abundantly. But He does ask us because that is His heart's longing. What does it mean to seek His face? It means to spend time with Him. Not just time, but quality time where you are focused only on God. To seek God's face is fellowship with Him. He calls to your deepest places and longs for intimacy. God is a God of relationship.
Do you notice the obedience and desire in the heart of the one who answers this love call? He desires fellowship with the Lord as well and responds with urgency. Nothing will get in the way of their love for each other. There is no question as to what God is asking for. It is an open invitation from a Holy God and requires an answer that is full of expectancy. It should be exciting to seek God's face and find out who He is. He gives us this choice so that we do not become puppets. Our desire for God must be sincere and passionate. There is nothing on this earth more important than seeking God's face and wanting to know Him intimately. The Creator of the Universe created us to fellowship with Him. His love is simple; His request is simple………He is saying just be with Me that's all.
Challenge: seek God's face. Ask Him questions about who He is and develop in yourself a passion the desires to seek God's face.
God bless

September 2013 Linux Kernel News
Mainline Release (Linus's tree) News
Linus Torvalds closed the 3.12 merge window when he released 3.12-rc1. tty layer and scalability improvements received a special mention in the release announcement. The tty layer cleanups lead to per-tty locking which will result in better performance on some work-loads.
The directory entry (dentry) object represents a component in the filename path. For example, in the path /usr/bin/yelp, each individual component in the path, /,usr,/,bin,/,yelp are all dentry objects. Using dentry objects helps make the process of validating and resolving each competent in the path easier. With the dentry reference or usage count scalability work that is included in 3.12-rc1, the filename caches now scale very well in 3.12. This work eliminates the per-dentry lock contention even on the same file or directory lookups.
Please read the 3.12-rc1 release announcement for a list of what else is in this release.
3.12-rc2 release came out one week later on September 23. This release contains a few driver bug fixes and 24 AMD Radeon driver patches from Alex Duecher. In addition to several bug fix patches, dynamic power management enablement for current and upcoming AMD processors Trinity, Kaveri, and Kabini is in this rc release. Please read the 3.12-rc2 release announcement for complete release notes.
3.12-rc3 is released on September 29 2013. This rc has seen some churn in mm area with reverting a few commits that were still being discussed, and allow the discussion to be completed and patches revised as needed. Bulk of the changes are in the driver space and new lockref support for ARM and s390. Please read the 3.12-rc3 release announcement for complete release notes.

Cloning into git tree and build new kernel
It is very easy to clone into one of these gits and build your own kernel. For example, run the following command to clone into stable git. It will create a new stable_git directory and clone into the linux-stable.git. You will find the Linux sources in the newly created stable_git directory. Once the git is ready, run make commands as shown below.
Cloning into stable git
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git stable_git
Now how do you build a new kernel using oldconfig from your stock kernel?
$ make oldconfig $ make all
LinuxCon North America and co-located events News
LinuxCon North America was held from September 16-18, 2013 in New Orleans, LA. Linux Conferences provide opportunities to developers to come together to discuss new ideas and solutions to problems in face to face meetings. In addition to face to face developer meetings, Linux Conferences also feature talks and presentations on various Linux Kernel and Linux Kernel eco-system topics by Linux developers and Open Source experts. Read on for my thoughts and take away from the LinuxCon NA and sessions I attended.
Keynote Panel: Linux Kernel Developer Panel - Tejun Heo, Red Hat; Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linux Foundation; Sarah Sharp, Intel; Linus Torvalds, Linux Foundation; Moderated By Ric Wheeler, Red HatPlease visit the event home page linuxcon-north-america_2013 for comments and insights from this panel discussion. I found this panel discussion informative. It helps new kernel developers and companies new to contributing to Linux kernel understand how the maintainers think, and what would help them do their job effectively. My take away and comments that resonated with me are:
"It's essential to budget extra time and resources to get patches upstream." - Tejun Heo
"Not just be really early, but be really involved. If you build your patch within the walls of your company, the thing solves your problem but nobody else's problem. In order to get things merged you need to solve not just your problem, but realize the kernel is bigger than your company." - Linus Torvalds
"I was always into computers, and I wanted to work with operating systems. I'm from Korea and I didn't know how I would get a job with MS or Sun and I didn't speak English. But with Linux it didn't matter where I came from or degree I had, if you can do it, you can do it. It doesn't matter who you are are where you came from." - Tejun HeoUEFI and Linux - Kirk Bresniker, HP
This talk goes over the history of EFI and ACPI, UEFI standards, and what is happening in this area. This is an area I keep an eye on to be aware of the progress and work that is happening. One interesting piece of information that I learned in this talk is the desire to build 32-bit x86 systems with UEFI support. This is interesting for the UEFI standard and implementation. The fact that UEFI executes in native mode and 32-bit UEFI systems can't execute 64-bit firmware makes it challenging to support operating systems on these systems. In addition, 64-bit OS won't boot on 32-bit UEFI systems. Further more, it is not a trivial effort to add UEFI 32-bit support to Linux kernel. So, it is better to stay away from supporting UEFI on 32-bit systems and stick with BIOS. For more information on 32-bit UEFI systems, please read Matthew Garrett's article Don't ship 32-bit UEFI firmware on x86
Linux Plumbers Conference 2013 ACPI/PM PCI Subsystems Micro-conference
Various ACPI/PM PCI sub-system technical issues and topics were discussed at this all-day event. The ACPI vs Device Tree discussion was by far the most productive and important at this conference. This discussion was on how to add Linux kernel support for new ARM systems that describe devices using these two enumeration methods. Some very concrete action items came out of this fast moving and spirited discussion between the Device Tree and ACPI experts, Grant Likely (Linaro), Mathew Garrett (Nebula), Rafael Wysocki (Intel, ACPI, and Linux PM maintainer), H. Peter Anvin, and David Woodhouse. In essence, device drivers should not have to know the details of Device Tree, and there should be a glue layer API for drivers to call to fetch the device information that is described in underlying Device Tree or ACPI layer.
You can read all about the discussion on this topic and other topics at: lpc2013-acpipm-pci-subsystems
Final Thoughts
Next up is the 3.12-rc3 release and a few more 3.12-rcs prior to releasing 3.12. LinuxCon NA and other Linux conferences are important cogs in the Linux ecosystem which bring Linux kernel developers and industry members together and help move Linux forward. As a Linux kernel developer, for me, these events are the opportunities to meet co-developers and discuss issues, problems, and learn, or just catchup, without which developers are just names and email addresses. Next up is the Linux Kernel Summit, LinuxCon EU, and co-located events scheduled to be held in Edinburgh, UK from October 21-25, 2013. I am looking forward to presenting and attending.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Plot & Details
Filmed on leftover Magnificent Ambersons sets, Here We Go Again is the most endearingly wacky of RKO Radio's Fibber McGee & Molly vehicles. The story begins as the popular radio duo prepares to leave their home town of Wistful Vista and embark upon a second honeymoon. After discovering that hotel where they originally stayed 20 years earlier is now a rundown fleabag, Fibber (Jim Jordan) and Molly (Marian Jordan) head to fancy-schmansy Silver Tip Lodge, where they run into Molly's former sweetheart Otis Cadwalader (Gale Gordon) and Fibber's "friendly enemy" Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve (Harold Peary). Meanwhile, ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and his dummy pals Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd are trying to enjoy an outdoor camping trip, only to be periodically interrupted by a hungry bear and an irascible Indian tribe. The destinities of the various characters are brought together when Cadwalader tries to convince Fibber to invest in a revolutionary motor-fuel formula, while Bergen romances Gildersleeve's pretty niece Jean (Ginny Simms). Also contributing to this "comedy salad" are Fibber McGee and Molly regulars Bill Thompson as wispy Wallace Wimple and Isabel Randolph as haughty Mrs. Uppington, and Edgar Bergen's radio orchestra leader Ray Noble. Highlights include Fibber's special effects-laden billiard game, Charlie McCarthy's song-and-dance number "This Delicious Delirium" (the dapper little dummy is rather obviously doubled by a midget in the long shots!), and the film's whimsical black-comedy fadeout gag. An enormous box-office hit, Here We Go Again is an absolute must for old-time radio aficionados.

Hello everyone, long time lurker decided to make an account. Let me start off buy saying im in the windows camp. And the Ipad was my first Apple product. Allthough i am a Systems Admin, and have used apple equipment in some manner for a long time. So i know allot about the company and their products.
On to my semi review
- Screen is much brighter than my Ipad 1 at the same settings(edit: more vibrant as well). But this could have been an issue with my Ipad 1 i never knew about.
- Safari is the exact same speed as on Ipad 1(patch update i presume)...except sites with heavy graphics. Then it kicks its ass.
- Apps like The Daily and Elements and John Stewart on Ipad 2 are HUGE improvement (these are the ones i put time into testing). No lag, no waiting...bam ready to rock.
- No typing lag....
- Speaker......blows ipad 1 out of the water. When layed on a flat surface it amplifies the volume. I got very frutrated with podcasts and netflix on Ipad 1 because most the time it was not loud enough. Im surprised this was kept quiet by apple, i was worried about it. Big win for me.
- The way they impliminted facetime is pretty cool, i didnt care about this feature. But now i realize i may actually like using it.
- Now to my biggest problem with the Ipad 1 Weight and how uncomfortable is to hold for long periods. The weight the Ipad 2 brings it down just enough do away with the issue. Of course that along with the MUCH easier to hold design. Make holding it with one hand a non issue.
Thats my thoughts on it so far. No complaints or regrets after about 2 hrs of use (except i should have waited). Imo its a huge step up, ipad 1 is going to ebay. I was worried i was buying into the hype and wasting my money. As my Ipad 1 is only three months old. But after using the Ipad 2...it makes the Ipad 1 look like a beta build, if you want to wait for Ipad 3 stay away from trying an Ipad 2, you'll want it. That my honest opinion.

Week 12 Thoughts: BizzaroPhilly!
Where did that come from? Why was Dan Fouts wearing a AJ Feeley uniform? Since when is the defensive game plan based on avoiding contact with the QB and letting WRs run free? Did someone replace the stickum with vaseline in the NE WRs lockers?
So many unanswered questions.... * As bad as NE's defense played, I am not all that concerned about a "blueprint" after that game. First off, Philly has an excellent RB in Westbroook who commands a ton of attention regardless of the situation. Second, Philly may not have anyone like Moss or TO on their team, but their WR corps is deep. Just like NE's passing offense of 2003-2005, there is going to be a good matchup somewhere, it is just a matter of the OL giving enough time for the play to develop. And Feeley definitely had plenty of time. Put it this way, despite the dreadful performance out there yesterday, I will still be extrememely surprised if Baltimore scores more than 13 offensive points next Monday. No NFL team is completely insulated from matchup issues, but Baltimore's offense really doesn't have any that I see. * On the same token, Philly's defense gave NE some issues, but it was nothing that shouldn't be expected (heavy rush packages, doubling Moss, manning up on WRs to take away hot reads). Philly just played a great game, probably their best all year (yes, even better than the Detroit demolition). Early on it was apparent that NE's offense was going to have to slug it out a little. Even though they scored on all of their first half drives, the surgical-like precision seemed absent. One thing that I would like to point out is that NE really helped Philly's cause a little on this side. They had the ball on the 4 and didn't score. They had a whopping 3 dropping screens on a single drive all of which were set up for at least 7-10 yard gains. Moss dropped a tough catch he normally makes. Welker and Brady had a miscommunication on a quick slant with no Philly defender in position to make a tackle. Other than the Moss drop, not one of these plays was hurried or harried by the defense; they were entirely NE mistakes. Add in a pretty poor OL performance and I think it is pretty safe to say that NE played a D+ game at absolute best - and they still put 24 offensive points on the board against a decent team playing their best game of the season. Forgive me if I am not considering giving up on the team just yet. * Even the ST coverage was mediocre. Add in Gost's miss kick as well as only getting two KOs two yards deep into the EZ, I would bet that NE's STs actually negatively effected their team. * Hey TMQ, you might want to recind your Brady/Harrington comment. Put Harrington behind that OL yesterday and Philly wins 45-10. Can we please put an end this nonsense? * By the same token, Feeley was the perfect example of why pass protection matters. This is the one area that I have some worries about. I say it over and over again, but here it is: NE does not get a consistent enough pass rush. Most of their sacks seem to come after the game is already out of hand. I don't recall a single game where NE completely harassed an opposing QB in the first part of the game. Now that I think about it, they did a decent job against Dallas, and then dropped off as the game went on. But that is about it. * NE had some things go against them, but they had some luck, too. Feeley falling down killed one Philly drive and another one ended when they threw a pitch to Westbrook that never had a chance when NE had yet to prove they could stop the pass. That was a terrible play call. * Moss gets away with plenty of pushoffs, so I'm not as upset about the call as some, but I would like to know why Philly was allowed to push off themselves a couple times. I don't mind questionable calls as long as it is consistent. Once precedent was set by the other non-calls, you have to keep the flag in your pocket during the Moss play. * I was completely off the Favre-for-MVP bandwagon, but I have to admit that I was wrong. In the beginning of the year, it was my opinion that Favre was a caretaker and the defense was driving the team. I still think Brady should win, but now I think that Favre is a legitmate candidate. He has worse players at basically every offensive position around him yet they still pass extremely well. Brett was making some really nice plays that not many guys could on Thanksgiving. Admittedly, I have not seen them very often, so it could have been Detroit helping things along, but I was very impressed. * On the MVP thing, what I find funny is that if Favre does win over Brady, it will be the Manning/Brady thing in reverse. The only reason why Brady *shouldn't* win is the weapons thing, but virtually no one mentioned that as a negative against Manning.
I love the taste of Peyton's succulent Rocky Mountain Oysters! "They have one objective," said Washington cornerback Shawn Springs. "They whoop people's [backsides]. If you understand that, it answers all your questions. They might not lose [this year]." |

Re: Week 12 Thoughts: BizzaroPhilly!
i think we had a lot execution problems with falst starts and drops on offense. People are blaming mcdaniels a lot today but if we didnt make those mistakes or minimized them then it wouldve been a perfect plan.

Re: Week 12 Thoughts: BizzaroPhilly!
The Pats need to revive their running game.
I'm not sure how, but they can't abandon it the way they did vs Philly. Too unbalanced and the defense can load up against you. The Pats made life more difficult for themselves imo.

Re: Week 12 Thoughts: BizzaroPhilly!
Good post as always, Oswelk.
I think the order of the day is to give Philly credit rather than critique the Pats. Obviously there's room for both, but I think one should lean heavily towards the former rather than the latter. I can't emphasize this enough: AJ Feeley was awesome. The Pats did their typical "take your best weapon away" tactic in minimizing Westbrook and dared Feeley to succeed by going to his other options. While forcing Feeley to throw to his WRs and TEs, the Pats blitzed heavily as well, expecting him to make bad throws while throwing to 2nd, 3rd and 4th options. He made the Pats pay. Despite other comments made in this forum, the pass rush wasn't all that bad. There were plenty of times the rush got close to Feeley and a lesser performance would have resulted in a scared scramble, a bad incompletion or horrible pick. Instead, Feeley routinely found all of his WRs and TEs, always finding the open man. Because he made plays under pressure, it made the other times he wasn't under pressure appear more prevalent. And I can't emphasize this enough, either: Tom Brady was awesome. I think McDaniels put him in a tough spot by all of the empty backfield shotgun formations. They were telegraphing their plays to the Eagles. Now against lesser opponents, who cares, right? The Eagles were not the best defense to try this against. The Eagles CBs Sheppard and Brown may not be their 2003-2004 best, but they can still play bump-and-run for 15 yards with the best of them and if their edge rushers like Trent Cole could get some pressure and the safeties could provide over-the-top help on the deep stuff, it was going to be tough finding open guys for Brady. There were a lot of times I'd look at the pre-snap D of Philly and wonder how Brady was going to find someone open, yet he routinely did. Welker and Gaffney came up huge in finding holes in the defense and Brady found them almost every time. That Philly D would have absolutely crushed most pass-wacky teams last night, but Brady was too much for them. And to wrap the above two points together...AJ Feeley wasn't awesome enough and that's why it's going to be so hard to beat this Pats team. Feeley made horrible bookend picks to Asante Samuel that ended up being the difference in the game while Brady never made the backbreaking mistake. Philly showed that even scheming up a great D with very good players to execute it wouldn't be enough to stop Brady, so to beat the Pats a team will need perfect quarterbacking. AJ Feeley was close to perfect, but close proved not to be enough. If the Pats' run at perfection is ruined by a perfect day from a QB, even in the playoffs, I can live with that. Because it looks like that's the only thing that's going to take down this team. Regards, Chris |

Charlie Davis hits a point that I make every third Tuesday, which is that self-obsessed liberals will forever decry as racists men who offend their delicate racial sensibilities and reified mythology of Civil Rights "victories," even as their own precious liberal candidates propose and enact policies that are objectively worse for black people.

Well maybe... but even allowing arguendo that progressives have destroyed the black community... actual consequences are not really important, are they? The important thing is to have good intentions. - 1:15 PM

You said the same thing much better about his dad. Allow me to toot your horn while simultaneously blowing mine. …what?
IOZ on Dennis Perrin on Ron Paul. - 1:18 PM
- Michael Dawson said...
Every tub of bathwater includes the baby in this bogus string of illogic. Civil Rights "victories," in quotes? Srsly? Very nice.
The only answer to the utterly bogus contrast between Rand Paul and Democratic candidates is to cast a plague on both their houses.
But your anarchists really go go for the libertarian trick, don't you? If Rand and his dad took over the state, nobody would get out of jail. The jails would merely be privatized, to provide more frugal services. Oh, and speaking of racism, as per stated Paul policy platforms, there would also be army battalions and smart bombers "policing" the Mexican border.
None of which is to excuse the Democrats or what passes for progressives.
And P.S. That's a beautiful little piece of "professional left" pink-baiting there by Davis. - 2:46 PM
- Charles Davis said...
This "Michael Dawson" character is great, IOZ.
My god, those libertarians might start putting National Guard troops on the border . . . like Barack Obama! And "pink-baiting", lulz. - 3:40 PM
- Michael Dawson said...
You're quite the character yourself, Chuck. Lulz it up, as you apparently aren't capable of noticing yourself admit that your own supposed point just went up in smoke.
The pink baiting thing's just over your head, I realize. - 5:28 PM

Say what you will about Guantanamo, but remember to mention Saddam's rape rooms.

Michael Dawson was so fine
He wouldn't get up to serve the swine;
He lies in bed till eight or nine,
So it's: Oh, poor Michael Dawson.
And do ye ken Michael Dawson, honey?
The man who sells the barley, honey?
He won't get up to feed his swine,
And do ye ken Michael Dawson, honey? - 11:11 PM

Speaking of liberal assholes, guess who wrote this:
"Personally, I'm not satisfied with the job they are doing (unemployment is horrible, they've spent too much time negotiating with Republicans, the drone wars, the civil liberties issues, Lloyd Blankfein is still a free man, etc.), and think there have been some real failings and some real let-downs. But I will belly crawl over broken glass while someone pours lemon juice and rubbing alcohol on me to vote for the Democrats in November."
Hint: he's on your blogroll. - 11:34 PM

By the way, the Nevada Libertarian Party ran a spot (weekly, I believe) dedicated to debunking the US empire on SNCAT as 2a.m.
Whether they still run it I can't say. About all I can find on the local cable access channels here in pinko, Blue State NY is music videos with effects rendered on a Super-VHS device. - 12:58 AM

Privatize the jails?! That's just crazy talk and no one would ever suggest that! Just like President Obama would never send national guard troops to the Mexican border! Obviously anarchist-libertarian lies! Harrumph!

Isn't the Rand Paul action figure puppet amazing! When you push the button in his back he plays libertarian soundbites and strikes a rugged pose. Unlike the liberal opponent puppet [batteries not included] Paul comes with his own set of set of rechargeable batteries and not one but two cheap suites you can change him into!
Forever engaged by the puppets, their strings, buttons, and batteries. Never taking on the button pushers and string controllers. - 9:38 AM

I agree with Dr. Paul the Younger that while we cannot have a blanket decriminalization of drugs, we can at least get the federal government out of it and let the matter be handled more locally. Because if history has taught us anything, it's that local law enforcement is objectively better for black people.
- Enron said...
"But your anarchists really go go for the libertarian trick."
The two words would be synonymous in any other country. - 7:58 PM
- Anonymous said...
Conway the state Attorney General is jailing blacks for drug crimes as fast as he can.
Paul the candidate wants to put an end to the jailing of black people for drug use by…….getting the feds out of the picture and turning the responsibility over to state and local governments.
Thus the solution to the abuses of AG Conway is to grant AG Conway more authority.
Oh, I guess you can argue AG Conway would have fewer dollars to jail black people if the feds funding were really pulled (and the notion that any Libertarian politician in America would ever get around to doing so seems a tad unlikely) but the most likely outcome would be continued incarceration at current rates and the elimination of other programs. AG Conway ain't jailing blacks as a hobby: its good local politics. His type will always find the money to flog this issue. - 9:49 AM

"Of course, Paul has plenty of actually silly and stupid ideas, having enjoyed The Fountainhead a bit too much as a young man, and has said a number of actually silly and stupid things -- like arguing oil giant and global asshole BP was somehow being unfairly treated in the wake of its destruction of the Gulf of Mexico. He also rather, uh, inarticulately defended his philosophical opposition to a piece of 1960s-era civil rights legislation, to put it mildly"
this blogger is far more even-handed than you, monsieur.

Susan Briante was born in Newark, N.J., after the riots. She is the author of two poetry collections, most recently Utopia Minus. She also publishes essays on industrial ruins, abandoned buildings and cultural memory. The poems in her first book, Pioneers in the Study of Motion (Ahsahta Press, Boise State University, March 2007) reference field notes as well as love letters as they trace her experiences living in Mexico City from 1992-1998 and reading the Latin American avant-garde. About Utopia Minus, the poet Jean Valentine writes, "What a wildly intelligent, learned poet Briante is, in this biography-autobiography of the American body and soul around 2010, witnessed (and lived) with such bite, understanding, and sorrow."
Free and open to the public.
Award-winning fiction writer Anthony Doerr will give a talk on the craft of writing: "Break the Pre- off the - Dictable: Some Thoughts on Habitualization, Cliches, Sparrow Songs, Doritos, and Writing that Puts You to Sleep."
A Writers @ Work event, sponsored by the Lilly Project
Winner of The Story Prize, the country's most prestigious award for a collection of short fiction, Anthony Doerr is the author of four books, including the memoir Four Seasons in Rome, the novel About Grace, and the story collection The Shell Collector. His most recent book, Memory Wall, a second volume of stories, was named a best book of the year by the New York Times, the Boston Gobe, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Amazon.com. Doerr's short fiction has won three O.Henry Prizes and has been anthologized in The Best American Short Stories, The Anchor Book of New American Short Stories, and The Scribner Anthology of Contemporary Fiction. He has won the Barnes & Noble Discover Prize, the Rome Prize, the New York Public Library's Young Lions Fiction Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, an NEA Fellowship, the National Magazine Award for Fiction, two Pushcart Prizes, the Pacific Northwest Book Award, two Ohioana Book Awards, and the Sunday Times EFG Short Story Award. He teaches in the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College.
New research on Shakespearean theaters suggests that tapestries, curtains, and painted cloths were once commonly used as props. What we don't know is what images were on these hangings, or how these visual texts would have complimented onstage action. In this lecture, Professor Rebecca Olson explains that because we have treated onstage textiles as insignificant background objects, we have failed to recognize their political and phenomenological significance for some of the most famous scenes of Renaissance drama.
Rebecca Olson is Assistant Professor of English at Oregon State University. She teaches and publishes on early modern literature and culture and is completing a book called Weaving Device: The Arras and Early Modern Fiction.
"'The Lie at the Center of Everything': Reading Race in Valerie Martin's Property alongside Beloved." Dr. Christina Sharpe, Associate Professor of English and Director of American Studies at Tufts University.
Dr. Sharpe reads Valerie Martin's 2003 Orange prize-winning, neo slave-mistress novel Property in terms of the tension between what Martin has written and said about her novel (in particular about the relationship between the slave owning mistress Manon Gaudet and the enslaved woman Sarah) and its enthusiastic reception, which often seems to rely on a persistent erasure of the materiality of slavery. Sharpe considers the difficulty that continually arises for some readers in holding onto, remembering, and accounting for the very difference that Martin says she attempts to make visible, and argues that this failure to account reveals something(s) about the preformance of race (and sex and gender) in American literature and society and the continued longing to not have to account, really, for race.
Sponsored by the Dean's office for Humanities programming.
In partnership with Literary Arts, Inc., of Portland, the Hallie Ford Chair and English Department will host a reading by three finalists for this year's Oregon Book Award. The Oregon Book Awards are presented annually for the finest accomplishments by Oregon writers working in various genres, including fiction, poetry, literary nonfiction, and young adult literature. Finalists have just been announced, and we'll soon find out which of them will be visiting. Read more about the Oregon Book Awards here: http://www.literary-arts.org/awards/.
Free and open to the public
This two-evening program will celebrate the written word with a combination of dramatic readings of plays and readings of poetry and prose by students in the Department of Theatre's Atypical Performance class and the English Department's brand new Senior Seminar in Creative Writing.

Yesterday, it was Burger King. Earlier today it was Jeep. And now it's MTV. It's a brand marketer's nightmare — getting your Twitter account hacked.
About a half hour ago, the MTV account tweeted "MMM. THIS BURGER TASTES GOOD!!!!!!!!!! #MTVHACK." MTV is the third major brand account that has been hijacked this week.
The account was temporarily branded as the BET Experience, a live music event in Los Angeles. It's not confirmed if promoters of the event hacked the account. Sine then, the MTV Twitter seems to have been frozen, and the BET Experience branding removed.
Earlier today, the official Twitter Jeep account was taken over with messages that it was sold to Cadillac, and that Jeep employees used drugs. Coincidentally, Jeep's hacked tweets included the #OpMadCow hashtag, the same used yesterday when the Internet group Anonymous took over Burger King's Twitter account. Jeep has since deleted all the tweets, and didn't acknowledge the hacking publicly on Twitter.
Postscript: We fell for it. Well played MTV and BET, well played. You just gave "twitterjack" a whole new meaning.

e-Mails That People Send ME From THEIR Mothers
From JCLady's mom-
The Bathtub Test
During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you
determine whether or not an older person should be put in a Care Home?"
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the
bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you
want a bed near a window?"
» 16 Comments
And my mom thought the bucket was the right answer.
I'm in trouble!
+3 -
I think I would like to be by the window, I picked the bucket too.
+2 -
Congress should have asked Hillary this question.
Although she probably would have answered, "It doesn't make a difference."
Noteworthy Comment +12 -
bubba laughed out loud. bubbas wife came to see what was wrong with bubba. bubba definitely wants a window.
+4 -
I'm liking bubba.
+5 -
bubba returns the sentiment to jclady.

A window on the west side please. I like to sleep in and don't like the morning sun.
+5 -
Went for my routine checkup today and everything seemed to be going fine until he stuck his index finger up my butt!
+2 -
Do you think I should change dentists?
+5 -
I think I'll just be a pain in the rear to my offspring. My answer was "Why on earth would I be messing about with bathtubs when I only take showers?"
+3 -
My mom doesn't have this kind of humor. She just calls to harass me about flu shots and vitamins.
+2 -
I wish my mom was still here to harass me about anything.
+8 -
Me, too, sablegsd. But she used to send me a lot of jokes like this. She had a better sense of humor than I do.

+2 -
At first glance, I thought the "Bathtub Test" was seeing if Gramps can get in and out of the bathtub without falling.
Of course, a spritz or two of olive oil on the edges speeds things along nicely.

Nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, with tropical mountains, warm beaches and friendly people, Honduras is the second poorest nation in Central America. High unemployment and economic disparity have triggered rapid rising crime rates causing instability.
At the same time, the near constant threats of natural disasters from hurricanes to earthquakes make life hard for Hondurans. The country's geographic terrain and inequities makes it difficult to build roads. Without roads to provide access it is difficult to promote economic, social, political, cultural and educational unity.
In remote communities where the nearest clinic is six hours walking downhill on a dirt road, families rely on Traditional Birth Attendants, Health Monitors and Guide Mothers that are volunteers from their own communities. Through these volunteers we teach mothers and families about safe water management, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, proper pre- and post-natal care, nutrition and early stimulation.
The Traditional Birth Attendants guide the mothers through their pregnancy and help them prepare a birth plan. The program has succeeded in increasing the knowledge, attitude and practices of pregnant women and maternal health providers. Maternal and child mortality has decreased by 50 percent from 2006 to 2010 and the delivery rate in health centers has risen from 35 percent to 50 percent.
"Our youth and the rest of the population want there to be peace and security." — Francisco, youth reporter
"Our youth and the rest of the population want there to be peace and security."
When the child is born, the Health Monitors follow up on the weight and the growth of children under 5. These specially trained men and women provide vital health information to help families protect themselves from a variety of preventable diseases, including malaria and life-threatening diarrhea. Those they find with unhealthy weights are referred to Health Huts for nutritional assistance and further education.
In some communities, women like Lesly from Lepateriquillo in the mountains of Francisco Morazan Department, are lucky enough that their own mothers are Traditional Birth Attendants and Guide mothers, while the Health Monitor lives five houses away. "My mother Dominga referred me to the health center when I was going to labor. She is also a guide mother so she stimulates my daughter and tells me what to feed her" said Lesly.
The Guide Mothers visit the homes to teach the mothers about communication and language, motor skills, cognitive and socio emotional child's development appropriate for their age. With proper stimulation and health care, children have better academic performance when they enter school.
The classrooms in many communities have one teacher for many grades creating a lot of learning challenges for the children. The Child Friendly School program seeks to strengthen the education quality of rural area schools by promoting adequate conditions that help increase school coverage and performance of children aged 6 to 14.
The children develop skills and knowledge for life. They participate actively in their learning with the involvement of parents, teachers and community members to create friendly, safe, caring and inclusive learning environments.
A top priority for ChildFund Honduras is providing children and youth with leadership and advocacy skills. The youth then work strategically – often with adult community leaders – to bring about change in their communities.
Sponsor a child in Honduras for lasting change.
"Our youth and the rest of the population want there to be peace and security. We dream of a safe town free of crime," said Francisco, a youth reporter working to change the fate of his hometown for the better.
After Hurricane Mitch nearly disabled the entire country, we created a Risk Management and Disaster Prevention Plan to identify evacuation routes and shelters as well as vulnerable areas.

Peer-to-Peer Information
Dickinson College has seen an increase in the number of students returning to campus with Peer-to-Peer clients installed on their computers.
Students are prohibited from using College-provided computer/network services to:
- Interfere with any other person's fair use of computer systems.
- Violate any local, state or federal law.
- Establish workgroup file sharing, print sharing or peer-to-peer services on any segment of the Dickinson campus network without approval and verification from LIS.
This is detailed in the Dickinson College's Responsible Use Policy.
Unauthorized peer-to-peer network sharing products allow users to share and download applications and materials across diverse networks that may pose the risk of downloading and sharing license and copyrighted materials, for which there can be legal ramifications.http://lis.dickinson.edu/Technology/Policies/responsibleusepolicy.htm
Infrastructure Systems manages the use of these products across the campus network through the campus packet shaping network appliance.
Whenever Infrastructure Systems discovers the use of an unauthorized peer-to-peer network sharing product that is adversely impacting network performance or receives notification of licensing or copyright violations the following steps will be taken:
For a first offense of this policy the offending computer is blocked from accessing the campus network infrastructure. Student systems must be taken to the RSA and the peer-to-peer network sharing product will be removed from the system.
