it sure does if you get the rss from the right place. i'm guessing that you're one of the unfortunate people for whome radio.kde.org is resolving to 220.127.116.11 (ftp.osuosl.org) instead of 188.8.131.52 (ktown) ...
this wouldn't be a problem except that ftp.osuosl.org isn't rsync'ing daily properly as it is supposed to. hope to get that little issue sorted out with their admins at the beginning of the week.
for now you could put an entry in /etc/hosts that does:
188.8.131.52 radio.kde.org - 16/7/06 06:28

This is an odd one, late after the game, with none of the usual chatter. And the Poms on Saturday by coincidence? I don't think this kid is a dirty player.....hard, you betcha!
Could be a big loss and potential momentum shift against an England team desparate for a win. The best jumper the Boks have besides what he brings in the loose as a defensive enforcer and an absolute tank with ball in hand.
Just checked the footage in minute 54, no way does he eye gouge, he grabs Laidlaw near the mouth unintensionally and then moves his hand once he realises where it is. Laidlaw does not react at all. Madness
This is horse shyte!!!!!
Man if Eben is cleared........... dan gaan hy vir hulle hard moer
Rugby is becoming soft, Bakkies played the game hard and he gets cited, Etzebeth plays the game hard he gets cited. The world feared Bakkies, now they are fearing Eben.
Exactly so Bokbe. I saw some nonsensical remarks on the homepage and have put the kiwi bird brains and fellow travellors right on the issue.
England are poop scared of our second string side and Etzebeth represents their worst nightmare. Wait till the other youngsters come of age!!
one can always count on the imperialists aka england to try and get a sneaky shot in at one of the former occopied nations. i bet you 500 bucks these charges are all made to insettle or to try unsettle.
i have seen the footage too and if he gets cited for this after the whole thomson saga then sure as hell there will be a massive fallout
Can anyone explain how England got involved in this. Did some pom twit run through a tape of the game tying to find a siting incident or what?
Top of the morning to you muncher!! You have made a good start today so hope you keep it up for a while.
Beeno never too optimistic about munchers performance levels!
By the way muncher what did you see re the footage?
top of the morning to you beeno. yeah hope you also keep up with the comments and dont desent into talking in the third person :P
the footage is a marginal as they come. as saffex said looked like he went for the mouth and his hand slipped up but there was nothing illegal about it. in short he should not be cited at all
Thanks muncher very reassuring to hear. Cant believe the poms would try one like this!!!
I must take a look at the home page as I hoped to have silenced the kiwi bird brains chirping up a storm there on NO evidence at all!
yes rugby is becoming soft, bakkies head butt on cowan who was lying down with his back turned was a result of bakkies being hard, not dirty. so i wonder why bakkies was on national TV crying and begging for forgivness after he got his 9 week ban??? o_O
ezebeths eye gouge shouldnt have been cited, but hes but his fave player is bakkies, and i wonder if hes trying too much, cos the rep that bakkies built hurt him him more in the long run. after watching ezebeth in the spXV, i thought he was a future superstar and a hard player, but he was always involved in the off the ball scuffles instead of just putting his head down and just doing his job. its why he was labeled the invisble man during the All Blacks soweto ramnpage, too busy trying to be hard, instead of helping his teammats. then there was his headbutt on sharpie, how did that workout for him??? watching the game from the sidelines like his role model use to so many times. even worse cos his contribution might have turned the tides in the dunedin test a week later. like i said great player and i consider him a hard player, but he strikes me a a very simple minded individual, strong as an ox and only half as smart.
Where there's smoke Beeno............
Don't you think the citing blokes wouldn't have checked out some footage before laying the charge?
Another example of Bok thuggery. If you can't beat 'em, maim 'em! Big, boofheaded and brainless.
Quite clearly the wee abs are extremely worried about Etzebeth as well as the poms. Now trying to tarnish Etzebeth's reputation as early a spossible.
Here's hoping for a just verdict. Muncher who has seen the video thinks there should never even have been a citing.
It has to be significant that there was no Scotsmen siting Etzebeth only a whingeing pom hoping to remove a major obstacle to an England win.
Its all very obvious really.
Yeah also saw the footage, Eben clearly tried holding the scot up in the tackle and his hand slip up. NO malicious intent. and BTW Laidlaw would've retaliated and complained right away if it was an eye gauge.
Well seeing is believing Bokbe. This is totally rediculous. What is needed is an investigation as to why he was sited! Absurd is the only word to describe this.
Just watched some highlights of the game and saw Louw go out of his way to trample on a Scot lying on the ground! What is it with the Boks??
A miracle he wasn't cited as well!!
Moola present your evidence rather than trying all this stuff to deflect the heat from mcaaaaw, Bl etc.
Lets see what you have got. Neither Louw or Etzebeth are dirty players.
I do notice how little was said by nz oaks about those disgusting Samoans!
It seems to me that Etsebeth is being targeted just as Bakkies was. I don't believe he is a dirty player, but when you play the role of enforcer, you are in the spotlight, and you therefore need to play within the laws...possibly even to a greater extent than other players.
South Africa lock Eben Etzebeth could be hit with a lengthy ban after being cited for making contact with the eye area of Scotland first five Greig Laidlaw during a test.
The Six Nations, which oversees disciplinary issues during autumn tests, says the alleged incident happened in the second half of Saturday's match at Murrayfield, which the Springboks won 21-10.
The 21-year-old Etzebeth will attend a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday. He is likely to be banned for between 12 and 24 weeks if found guilty. The maximum sanction for this type of offence is 156 weeks.
South Africa plays England on Saturday in the last match of its European tour.
The only question - is holding a guy around the neck an issue. I have seen this often before but no citing so what possibly could be the problem.
Poms are squealing but Scots are silent. Go figure!!
Well we cant blame the Scots Bokbe they are not squealing about nothing. Its the poms ably backed up by kiwi bird brains brigade.
i saw the footage and i am just honest in saying that thompson's little fight club aka brad pitt moment was a lot worse. cant really compare the 2 really. its a bloody con job by the english basterds i reckon. hitler should have bombed that island back to the stone age.
carpetmuncher Status: Bok regular Posts: 979 RE: Etzebeth cited for gouging by a Pom official November 20, 2012, 16:54:44
really carpetmuncher??? o_O, dumbest comment ever.
You like the POMS less than I do - that really is an achievment. I was a small boy when King Geoge VI visited SA. There was a battle royal in the household - my grandparents who hated the POMS - insisted that my parents should not take us to see the royal visitors. My mother - a more liberal person - won out and we went - all dressed up in little sailor suits. One of our nreighbours put us on the roof of the platform. The King and Queen got of the White Train and greeted the local prominent people - my parents amongst them. We were less than 2 meters away and saw the whole show.
Problem is the Afrikaners are not good at bowing and curtseying - so it really was a circus. The circus went on afterwards - the area was a hotbed of republicanism and the Yes-vote in favour of a repubklic was overwkeming.
Basically the POMS is the most haughty and self-righteous people ever - so they should get everything coming to them. Bad news buggers - that lot. Delighted the Aussies beat them last week.
What a load of BS.
The Bull shit himself has spoken. Soi who an I to argue against him.
Why is it that whenever theres a eye gouging incident its always one of the filthy WP thugs? Corne Krige, Schalk Burger and now eben Etzebeth.
An eye gouge is one of the most cowardly things someone can do on the rugby field. Says a lot about the WP mentality!!!!!
Ring Sting, why is it that you are so big an arsehole when it comes to WP? Grow up!
PS, this is only the second time I called someone on the the net an a-hole. Hope you have less hatred in your real life, as it seams WP is a real thorn in your side from what I see from your e persona. Fight the demon man!
Odd how one can hate part of a country......this Fruit obviously has serious issues. But I suppose when you come from Benoni everything pisses you off.
Mikey, I have been living amongst these so-called "most haughty and self-righteous people" since April 2008. I think I should be able to have some sort of idea by now.
So Ceradyne, you post is only half complete. If their are not the stated "most haughty and self-righteous people", then can you clarify your own more accurate definition?
Why should I? Just because someone else choose to form his own generalised stereotipe of a group of people, I have to do the same. There are as many "most haughty and self-righteous people" in SA as there are in England or any other parts of the world. Isn't it self-righteous in itself to look down on people like our friend Mike has just done. I have met many people in England who are definitely far from that definition. In fact, I have met few who actually do fit the definition.
My nephew and his wife resides in Essex and they in fact also have dual citizenship. I have visited them many times and can assure you that I know many people from England. Most are decent people - but when it comes to those in the Public eye - you get the worst lot in England. Their self-righteous is pathetic.
In any event - I am entitles to my opinion and so are you.
@sasue i have no love for the english and there history of how they murdered and stole there way into being a world power. due there acts the divisions felt in south africa today was a net result of them as they where the first "promoters" of apartheid. when they took over from the dutch there first act was to cut the black labour wages to almost a 1/4 of what the dutch was paying at that time. so there is no love lost on my part towards the poms and there legacy in my view. from what i heard there economic woes are growing ever quicker so maybe karma is having its way for all those other colonies that has been effected by british rule.
on the rugby front they allways walk around with a chip on there shoulder with the firm believe that there english way should be the way of the world so getting one over the foe is always a sweet sweet feeling

text: Right now, my narcotic is work. The more you do, the higher you get. The more you feel fulfilled, the more you want to do. You just get such satisfaction 'cause you have a business — as it's evolved for me, there was no blueprint.--Martin Cohen During the early 1960s Latin music was still thriving in the clubs of New York City. As passionately as it was enjoyed by Latinos, African-Americans and white ethnics, it barely registered on the meter of the music business world. In 1964, a Jewish Latin music addict from the Pelham Park area of the Bronx first challenged this putative fact of business life. From his first modest deliveries of bongos to the Palladium Ballroom in brown paper bags, Martin Cohen developed Latin Percussion Music Group, an operation that changed the manufacturing of Latin percussion instruments from a cottage industry to a global business phenomenon. If success can be defined as fulfillment of personal goals, LP chairman Martin Cohen is a uniquely successful individual. His company represents the actualization of his love of Latin percussion and his attraction to the culture that produced it. A recent visit to Cohen's New Jersey home found him enjoying the fruits of his success, but not easily accepting the above pat definition. The intensity, drive and curiosity that launched LP thirty-odd years ago continue to dominate his personality. David Carp: You've spoken often with great fondness about what must have been your first Latin jazz experience—I think it was at Birdland in 1956 and included Jose Mangual on bongos. What do you remember about this session? Martin Cohen: Mangual had a look—it was just his body language when he leaned over. Not only did he have an incredible sound — the only one who has a sound like that is Armando Peraza — but he was beautiful to see. This black man with his black bongos and his body language bespoke a certain elegance, and to this day he's elegant. He's been somebody I have adored and I owe a great spiritual debt to him for the inspiration he gave me with that look that communicated a mastery of an instrument. You know, in everything that preceded this in my evolution nobody spoke of greatness. You know, my teachers in school, they were OK — but there was no role model... nobody that would make me say, "That's a baad motherfucker!". There was just nobody that exemplified fuckin' greatness. Somebody who didn't look over their shoulder, somebody who had self-confidence. That's what I saw in Mangual in that body language and then went on to see in Patato in just his insanity and his self-confidence and his self-assuredness. And that's what I wanted to be, somebody who had that mastery of something. DC: You studied engineering at what's now known as Lehman College. What was your first job? MC: It was at the Bendix Corporation. I think they were gearing up for the Vietnam War. I had no idea what Vietnam was. I worked in the instrument department and Bendix at the time had five different buildings. Part of where they park airplanes at Teterboro airport was employee parking, they had so many employees. I didn't have much to do and, somehow, in my off time, I had gone to Johnny Pacheco's house to look at a pair of Cuban bongos. I took pictures of them and made drawings and I pretended that they were something else and I sent 'em into the model shop to be produced for me—and it took forever. So at the Bendix Corporation, which was working on Vietnam, I made the hardware out of stainless steel for the first pair of bongos that I made. I was fired. Bruce Polin: Did they fire you because they found out that you were doing this on company time? MC: I don't know why. I knew that I was not fulfilling a real need there, and I never really did fulfill a need at any job until I started my own company. I think it's [because of] my personality and I think it must have started with Mangual and looking at badness and looking around myself. I mean nobody ever made a statement. If you make a statement in industry to this day — and I have to prevent that attitude form creeping into my company — you know, don't make no fuckin' statements, the boss makes the statement. In a jazz group it generally happens that in each tune, at one moment, you have a chance to shine. In a corporate setting you don't shine, the boss shines. You're showing your support, and it pissed me off. At least Mangual, in each tune and not just the solo point — if you listen to the Machito recordings — is wailing throughout the whole thing. DC: Can you comment on the willingness or lack of willingness of individual players to share information or even to just show you their equipment? Who was open and who wasn't? MC: I frankly feel that at that point in time they all recognized that I had nothing. They all dressed better than I did. I didn't have enough money to put together one fuckin' suit! It was an era when everybody dressed in suits and ties and looked sharp...I couldn't look sharp. So it wasn't like I was somebody from the corporate suite coming into the nightclub and stealing their shit. I was a poor guy. Like Mongo, who as my company evolved grew to hate me and despise me. I think there was a radio program on which he said, "I liked him when he was nobody, but now he's got this big company." I mean there was like some justification for it in his mind, that I stole. And Eddie Palmieri has said that I've stolen from Latin music and I don't give back. You know, that I took what they do and I made this big company. And to some minds, that's what I do. Other people think I provide opportunity and employment. But there was a growing resentment as my business took off in some people. But it was always behind my back that I would hear these things, it was never directly. And I think when you become obsessed and you have a mission you don't want to hear, and don't hear, the negative stuff that's going on. I think people who eventually succeed develop a filter for filtering out negatives. You're only thinking about the positive stuff, planning your contingencies, but you can be in an environment where there's hostility. To this day, I just walk into crowds and people that others might find hostile. I've gone in and just talked shit and so far I have survived. DC: We know that your first product was bongos, admittedly not the greatest seller during the pachanga craze of the early '60s since they're not part of a typical Cuban charanga. MC: Yeah, the instrument that I started with was no longer used. I had no market for it. From the negative you can go so often to positive, and I had to go outside the traditional market. Bob Rosengarden was making stereo percussion oriented recordings and was busy in the studio. I went to Bob and he kind of pointed me in the right direction. He was one of the first people I made a bongo for. And Specs Powell, from the Ed Sullivan Show, was doing a lot of studio work. Specs was probably the person most responsible for my success. He was always envious, as were so many black people, of the rhythmic ability of Cubans. It was very sophisticated compared to this other side of music. He said, "Get out of those Latin dance halls and get into the studio and put the bongos on a stand!" I said, "No, Specs, you can't, it's gotta be between your legs." Specs said, "No, you put it on a stand 'cause I have to play mallets and then I have to play the bongos." And I made my first bongo stand because of Specs Powell. He told me, "If you want to do something with your life, you go see Bob Rosengarden, not these Latin guys." Bob Rosengarden had put all these recordings together with the bongos. Bob was so enthusiastic about my bongos, and I said, "But what more can I do to make a living?" He told me, "Well, you just make a jawbone that doesn't break." I think what he wanted was out already, 'cause I know I heard it on one recording. I had never seen a jawbone. He said it was a jaw, you hold it by the chin and teeth rattle. That's how my Vibraslap was born. I never saw the jawbone until after it was developed. BP: Were you the first person to use fiberglass in the (conga) body construction? MC: No, I'm the first one to really have an orientation toward mass producing it. The first one was produced by Frank Mesa, who was a bass player, I think, and quite a clever guy, who had a unique style of making the drums and tuning the drums but not an orientation toward mass producing and marketing them. So he deserves credit for having been the originator, but I'm the one who had to survive off of it. DC: When you began using mass production, were there a lot of players who said, "Oh, this is mass produced, it can't be as good as a hand-crafted item?" MC: I think that I filled a need that precluded anybody saying that. Our fiberglass conga has essentially become the standard of percussion in the dance world. You know, it's fiberglass, it's not like organic and it's not like Cuba. Well, these guys have to go out and kick ass in the bands and these bands are thirteen piece bands with full brass sections; that conga drum has to be heard. The fiberglass conga with its overtones is the only drum that will cut through. As the bands have gotten louder the fiberglass conga has become the standard. DC: LP has always been a pioneer of clinics. Have they paid off or is it hard to say? MC: I think of them as very long term investments and, of course, it is very critical to be able to have a sizable quality audience. That's sometimes been our company's failing, that we'll do a clinic...I've paid over a thousand dollars for Alex Acuńa to appear in Paris and for reasons that were beyond my control they just cancelled the clinic and I've had to pay Alex to go in and shake hands with the store owner and a couple of clerks. It really has to be a well-orchestrated effort on the part of sales and marketing and artist relations so that when the event comes together we have a quality audience. What I have tried to teach people to do—and it's a skill you have to learn and it's very subtle—is to be able to listen carefully to people who aren't accustomed to expressing themselves verbally and to pick out of that what they're trying to say and not put words in their mouth. And one of the problems you have in dealing with Latinos is that they don't want to say anything negative. You know, they are very charming people. Marc Quińones says it like it is and he doesn't give a fuck about whether he's charming or not. Most people will just say "it's OK" and that OK could mean "it's great" or "it's shit" and you don't want to down the wrong path and make something. So it's been quite a challenge to ask the same question fifteen different ways to see if the results show that they really said what you thought they said. BP: Do you think musicians are using your instruments to their fullest potential today? MC: You know, to be very honest, the answer is "no" because I don't think there's a lot of work. There's not a lot of recording studio work, there's not a lot of tour work. There's a need for a rebirth in live music and I don't know what it's going to take to be reborn. But when you think about it, with the absence of venues to play in, why the hell should anybody become a musician? The years that I was forming my business were some of the busiest in terms of dance clubs. There were probably fifteen different dance clubs of significance in the New York metropolitan area. Now there are maybe three. I do hope that there will be a rebirth in the kind of music that I find so exciting even if it's in a different incarnation. But our business is solid, not because of professional use but because of the lifestyle uses of the products we make. People that may have a day gig and come home and they just want to play bongos for the hell of it. And I think music therapy is also an acknowledged growth area. It's not as much fun as hangin' in the Bronx with Patato and those late night jam sessions. It always amazed me that as loud as they played none of the neighbors ever complained. That's all I can say about the subject of Martin Cohen and life in the percussion lane.

This whole article is just a waste of space. Who made up this load of bull? "If you listen to Indie Rock, you have low self esteem?" What the F&%#? Personally, I enjoy many types of music, some that were not named. I think someone may have had a deadline and nothing worthwhile to write about...

No punk?! Lame.
My favorite three genres, each of which I listen to about 1/3 of the time, are dance (specifically 80s gay club dance, I loves me some Erasure and Pet Shop Boys), punk, and country.
So, I'll just pick and choose some of those attributes, and combine them for a diagnosis of "strange."

SKG, I love classic country :( Johnny Cash touches my soul! But, due to asthma, I have been known to occasionally be a mouth-breather.
I like all kinds of music. I have everything on my iPod from Frederic Chopin to Strapping Young Lad to Hank Williams to Manu Chao to Death Cab For Cutie to Billie Holiday and everything in between.
There was a lot of genres left out of this list.

I figured it out... If you like popular genres of music that wasn't listed, then your personality is indescribable!

No world music (reggae, salsa, Gaelic, Caribbean, Indian classical, fado, flamenco, klezmer, zydeco, gospel)? No ska? No bluegrass? No Bollywood?

And I can definitely second what the article says about metalheads. All the ones I know/have met from my boyfriend to people I've met at concerts have been really nice, generally respectful, non-violent (outside of moshing, of course)... not what you'd really think they'd be.
And metal has a lot of roots in classical (especially dark classical)... which is apparent in most metal all the way from Slayer's thrash, to Symphony X's power metal, the industrial of Nine Inch Nails, to the more obvious classic metal of Black Sabbath and the modern symphonic metal of Nightwish. The main note of metal (Devil's 3rd) comes from really old classical roots, and the general organization/complexity does too. The swearing and screaming, not so much.

Press Release PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT John Adams Courthouse One Pemberton Square Boston , MA 02108
The Supreme Judicial Court has reviewed the recommendations presented in the "Action Plan for Hiring and Promotion of Court Officers and Associate Court Officers," delivered to the Court last week, by the SJC's Task Force on Hiring in the Judicial Branch, chaired by former Attorney General Scott Harshbarger.
"We greatly appreciate the ongoing efforts of the Task Force, under Attorney Harshbarger's leadership, and thank them for these thoughtful recommendations to strengthen our hiring practices," said Chief Justice Roderick L. Ireland. "The report identifies best practices that will allow us to increase transparency and public confidence in the way we recruit and select candidates for these key positions."
The Action Plan outlines recommendations that the Task Force believes will improve current procedures. They include implementing best practices for attracting and employing highly qualified individuals, restricting the use of recommendations until finalists are selected, introducing annual performance evaluations, creating a career path as a performance incentive, and centralizing supervision of the hiring process.
"Court Officers and Associate Court Officers provide a critical public safety role in the court system," said Chief Justice for Administration & Management Robert A. Mulligan. "The guidance provided by the Task Force will greatly assist our efforts to improve hiring practices, once the fiscal situation allows lifting of the hiring freeze. In the meantime, we can begin work on those recommendations that set the stage for future hiring and affect current staff."
Last December the Supreme Judicial Court established the Task Force to undertake a comprehensive review of the hiring and promotion practices in the Judicial Branch in the wake of the abuse in the hiring and promotion practices of the Probation Department documented in the report of Independent Counsel Paul Ware. The Justices charged the Task Force to "make recommendations designed to ensure a fair system with transparent procedures in which the qualifications of an applicant are the sole criterion on hiring and promotion." In February, the Task Force delivered its final report with respect to the Probation Department.
Task Force members now will continue work on their mandate by undertaking reviews of the remaining parts of the judiciary, while monitoring the transformation of probation. The Task Force members are Scott Harshbarger, Chair; Randy Chapman, Stephen Crosby, Kate Donovan, Ruth Ellen Fitch, Michael Keating, Hon. James McHugh, Susan Prosnitz, Harry Spence, and Steven Wright.

The former Dancing with the Stars contestant (and Cher's son!) kicked off this year 43 lbs. lighter – and counting. "I'm willing to kind of never eat the things I like again," he told PEOPLE in February of his weight-loss plan, which includes plenty of exercise and Freshology-delivered meals. "Never say never, and I know it happens a lot, but I really want to do everything I can to avoid gaining it back." Bono's now down 60 lbs. and inching closer to his 80-lbs. goal.

Help Me With My Social Media Experiment!
I'm doing a social experiment. YouTube has graciously allowed me to monetize my videos and this is the first one I've uploaded so far. It's not stand-up or even a sketch, but rather an adorable clip of my son trying to convince me to give him cookies for breakfast. I'm going to put 100% of the proceeds from this video toward his college fund. All you have to do is watch it, then tell your friends to watch it. That's it. I'm not asking you to donate any money, just 1 minute and 46 seconds of your time. By watching the video and letting the ad pop up, you're contributing. If enough people watch this one video, he could have his college paid for and/or his therapy from having me as a father. Click on the ads if you like, but you don't have to. Then just share the link to the video with your friends and tell them what I'm trying to do. I'm really excited to see if this works. It's not like he's old enough to build an arcade out of cardboard. At just a couple of cents per view, it's going to take a lot of people seeing it. But if it does work, well that'd just be awesome. And I'll make sure Dean thanks you once he learns how to say more words than "cookie". Thanks all!
Here's the video:
Half-Marathon: Day 3
Day 3 -June 15, 2012:
Weight: 262 lbs
Run: 0 minutes
Distance: 0 miles
Terrain: N/A
Weather: Gorgeous and Sunny (72 degrees)
The calendar says "Rest" for today. Who am I to argue with it? I'm a little more sore than I was yesterday but overall feeling great. Waking up to see a 4 lb loss will always make me feel better. What does it say about how bad my diet was that I can lose 4 lbs in a day just from NOT eating certain foods? I don't know how many documentaries about food I've seen, but it makes total sense that the more organic foods you can eat, the better. Less chemicals and unknown ingredients mean an easier time for your body to process them, not to mention that no one really knows the long term effects they may have.
Once in a while, even though I'm a comedian, I'll have to get serious on here. Today is the first of those days. Although I'm not running today, it's still a very important day. Today I'll be playing in the 3rd Annual "Alex Jones Memorial Golf Outing". Ironically, the purpose of the outing is to raise money for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, the same charity that I'll be running with for this half-marathon. Alex took his own life at the age of 17 a few years ago because of how depressed he'd become from the complications of Crohn's disease. Once a happy kid who excelled in baseball and soccer and did very well in school, Alex was unable to participate in sports and had to miss many days of classes because of his symptoms. They tried every medication, every known strategy, and nothing worked. His family has become very involved with the CCFA and are some of the most dedicated and kind people I've met. It's people like this that have really opened my eyes to what's important.
On my dad's side of the family, we've lost six people to cancer. Six. Including my dad. And that's just from his immediate family (his parents, three siblings, and my father). One of my cousins and my sister-in-law are battling breast cancer right now. When you see those kind of numbers hit home, not a statistic in a pamphlet, you stop taking things for granted. For me personally, it's been my health. Here I'm surrounded by people I love who've become stricken with these horrible diseases and I'm wasting a perfectly clean bill of health because I can't stop eating candy and baked goods? It's almost insulting to them for me to say, "Poor you" and then devour five tacos and a large Coke. (In fairness though, if you don't enjoy cake or appreciate the genius behind turning a Dorito in a taco shell, we shouldn't be friends.)
So I guess that even though I'm not running today, it's a good day for reflection. I'll be surrounded by a family that lost their son, but who decided to do whatever they could to make sure no one else has to go through it. What an example for others, huh?
This Sunday is my first Father's Day and I'm sure I'll be all over the place. Joyous for this amazingly perfect child we've been blessed with. Swearing I'll do anything I can to make sure that no one ever wrongs him or hurts him. Missing my own father, my best friend and the best human being I've ever known. I'll try to keep it together peeps, but no promises.
Well, I guess today's not an off day after all. I need days like today that give me the time to help others, appreciate what I have, and maybe have a little dessert after the golf outing. Don't judge me people, it's for charity.
Half-Marathon: Day 2
2nd Run -June 14, 2012:
Weight: 266 lbs
Run: 26.5 minutes
Distance: 2.02 miles
Terrain: Hilly
Weather: Gorgeous and Sunny (72 degrees)
Today was run number two. I was a little sore when I woke up so I thought for sure that my time was going to be a little worse than yesterday. I did the same route, but shaved off about 90 seconds. I'll take it!
It's so hard to not remind myself that I'm running while I'm running. If I could zone out for a while I think I wouldn't hate it as much. So if anyone has any suggestions for doing that, please pass them on.
I remember that about halfway through my last training, when we were up to 6 miles for our long run that week, I was reflecting back on a time where one or two miles seemed like an eternity. I wish I was at that point again. If there's one thing I learned from the last time, it's that you can lose what you gain very quickly if you don't stay on it. I also think that at some point during my last training, I learned how to run and that made it way easier. I can already tell a difference this time as my breathing needs work, but my shins don't hurt like when I started the last time. Stretching after my run has been key as well. Now if I can just get this belly to disappear, I won't have sore ribs from it bouncing all over the place when I run.
So send me some tips on how to not think about running when I'm running. Anyone?
Tomorrow is a rest day but I'll try to post. Back at it Saturday on my first group run with the team.
As always, if you'd like to donate to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation and help me reach my goal, use the link below. It is 100% tax deductible. Thanks all!
An Open Letter To Jason Whitlock And Other Celebrities On Twitter
It's 2:40am EST and I've just gotten back to bed after I was awoken by the sounds of my seven week old son's whimpers from across the room. After just under four ounces of formula, a few pats on the back to produce a belch reassuring me that he is indeed my son, and a quick diaper change, he has returned to the comfy confines of the swing that we purchased for him and the awful midi-files of lullabyes it plays that so easily put him to sleep, and equally as easy keep me up.
I took a gander at my email on my phone to see if there is anything I need to know before morning...or the next time those whimpers come calling. This quick glance yields a promising sign when I see the subject, "Twitter: Jason Whitlock has replied to one of your tweets." #stopthepresses
Let's do a quick catch-up. I'm a Jason Whitlock fan. I love his writing, though I don't always agree with him. His columns are a must read and he's a guy who "gets" twitter (@WhitlockJason). He has an excellent balance of humor, personal updates, and promoting his craft. I had mentioned him in a tweet a couple of days ago in response to him saying how he was a fan of Suzy Kolber (@SuzyNFL32), and he was bummed that she only followed him for a few minutes. I implied to him that I was a fan of his and he needed to follow me (@JoshSneed) before he could "unfollow" me and I could then know how he was feeling.
This little tweet of mine prompted one of my followers, Micheal Fearin (@FerretSoFly), to reach out to Jason with this tweet:
"It's a cool thing when the comedians I love follow the sports writers I love. Now reciprocate it @WhitlockJason, follow @JoshSneed!"
Well played Mr. SoFly. Or may I call you "Ferret"?
I thought to myself, "How cool is this? Someone is providing themselves as a reference to get Jason Whitlock to follow me." It was like Ferret was holding Middle-East Tweet Talks to bring two sides together, even though we're not fighting and Jason has never heard of me. To provide an update for this stalemate that no one but me knew existed, I tweeted the following before going to bed tonight:
"No love yet from @WhitlockJason. We'll keep you posted with any developments."
Here was Jason's reply:
"@JoshSneed what's the scoop? Not familar with your work but willing to get up to speed"
Now you (the reader) are caught up. Now you know why I'm up at night praying these awful lullabyes keep my son at bay and that the light from the screen and pitter-patter of the keys eminating from my laptop don't wake the wife next to me. I feel like Jerry Maguire who just had an epiphony and couldn't wait to start letting it out. Yes...this is not a memo...it's a mission statement.
So what is my mission statement? It's my open letter to Jason Whitlock and all celebrities on why they should follow me on twitter (@JoshSneed). I want him to be my Rod Tidwell and this is my promise to show him the money. #Quan
Getting him up to speed won't take long. My album "Unacceptable" will let him hear my stand-up. And I think he'd REALLY like the basketball video I was a part of:
But maybe he wants more background info first...
I'm 34. I'm not old, but I have been on the road full time for 10 years. I left a job at Procter & Gamble that I had gone to school my entire life to get so that I could pursue a dream of making people laugh. I have worked hard and sacrificed relationships along the way and now have a fantastic wife, dog, nice home, and a brand new baby boy.
Thanks to club owners, other comedians, my manager, the fine folks at Comedy Central, and even the haters...I've been able to cross off a lot of benchmarks that I set for myself when I started doing comedy, some before that.
Open Mic night? Check.
Do it again after having a horrible set? Check.
Host a show? Check.
Become a middle act? Check.
Quit my day job and live off of comedy? Check.
Get into the Montreal Comedy Festival? Check.
Get on TV? Check.
Get a Comedy Central special? Check.
Become a headliner in "A" rooms? Check.
Perform for 2 people up to 10,000 people? Check.
Release an album on Comedy Central Records? Check.
Favorite Snack Mix? Chex. #seewhatidid
It is with zero sarcasm that I tell you I'm grateful for everyone that follows me. On more than one occasion I've been the first person someone follows (and no it's not a bot), and in a way that's more flattering than if someone with a lot of fans decides to follow me. The only problem is that when the prior follows me, no one is listening to them say, "This guy is funny, you'd like him." I need people who have the ear of twitter turned in their direction to echo these sentiments. #reality
On a daily basis I read the tweets of Scott Van Pelt (@notthefakesvp), Michael Smith (@MrMichael_Smith), Alec Sulkin (@thesulk), and many more, and laugh out loud thinking, "I think they would like my comedy if they heard it." #delusionsofgrandeur
I try to obey the unwritten Twitter laws whenever possible.
1) Provide worthwhile content as much as you provide plugs for yourself.
2) Show creativity in your use of 140 characters. Don't use multiple tweets for the same thought. That's cheating.
3) Respond to those who praise you, and retweet (RT) those that deserve it whether they need your help or not. #Amen
Don't get me wrong, I have some followers I'm proud of. Michelle Beadle (@ESPN_Michelle) follows me. I'm pretty sure she doesn't realize it and I know it's only because my t-shirt company put out a Ben Roethlisberger shirt that said "Nose means nose" when his got broken...but she hasn't clicked "Unfollow" yet. #operativewordisyet
Ok celebrities, here's the list of why you should follow me:
1) I'm funny. I've paid my dues and I stand behind my body of work. I'm proud of my stand-up, my credits, my YouTube videos, my blogs, and my tweets. If you would like to hear my stand-up, I'll send you a CD or iTunes link and you can decide for yourself if I'm your cup of tea or not.
2) I own a t-shirt company. If you like getting schwag, check out LookAtMeShirts.com (@lookatmeshirts) and I'll send you some. Celebs love the free stuff, and here you go.
3) I need the help. I have a kid now and priorities have changed. I want to spend more time with him and my wife and that would be easier if I was more famous. I don't need a ton of money, just enough that I don't have to be gone all of the time. So help me reach the masses when I post something you think is worthy of a RT.
Isn't this great? I could be like your little third world sponsored child. But instead, just keep that money that could buy your daily coffee and share me with your fans. You'll periodically receive updates and watch my followers list grow and know that your kindness really is making a difference right here in the US of A. Think of my tweets as homeless kids for which you're providing food and shelter. #heartstrings
I need to wrap up because "Hush Little Baby" is about to wrap up and I'm going to be needed soon. I hope you've enjoyed this pitch, or at least parts of it. I hope you've decided to give me a chance to win your twitter love. If you have, great. If you're in it for the free t-shirts, I understand the quid pro quo side of the business.
So here's your link #again to follow me: http://twitter.com/JoshSneed
Thank you to Jason Whitlock for the inspiration to sit down and write this. If you're the only follower I get out of it, then it was worth it. And even if that's not the case either, it's been a nice reminder that there are those out there who like what I do and want to see more of it. I hope I never lose sight of that. It's something I can tell my son about the next time he wakes up. But then again...who's he gonna tell? #squareone

Good morning! Happy Wednesday! How are you? I'm so excited to share several WIPs with you this week, because that means I actually managed to get my act together to take WIP photos! yay!
First up, MUCH progress on the ASJ – it's so hard to photograph this as a wip, but I am almost done! I need to lengthen the sleeves, sew the seams, and finish tucking in all the ends. I mainly wove the ends in as I go, but I missed a few. After the cardigan is seamed, I'll then block it, and after it dries I'll trim all the ends or weave any in more that might have been missed the first few rounds.
Next up, a pair of scrappy socks, starting with this pile of yarn…
They're loosely based upon a German sock pattern called Fade in Fade Out socks, but the original is a) in German b) cuff down and c) sport weight yarn. I changed them to my usual toe up formula and I'm using up scraps of "summer" yarn – cotton / bamboo blends.
You work 4 rounds with color A, then 4 rounds of simple fair isle (k1 A, k1B), then 4 rounds of color B, and so on. Since I'm using up some really small scraps in some cases, sometimes I have to fudge a little, but look at how pretty they are coming out so far! Normally when I make "monster" socks, I don't fuss about matching, but I'm trying to match these somewhat, so I'm trying to use one color on one sock for the 12 rows of the pattern, and then work it on the other foot. I'm not switching colors exactly at the same time, and because I'm using mainly self striping yarn, they don't match too much, but for me… they are perfect.
Next, I have two design wips that I can share, as I'm self publishing both of them. First, my next pair of toe up socks…
I'm pretty excited about these socks, which I'm calling Saturn Storm Socks (yes, once again I'm naming a pattern for the storm when I wrote up the design!) Why am I so excited about a pair of lace socks? Well, I charted the lace pattern all by myself! The pattern is being tech edited so we'll see what she says about my chart! It'll be available for testing shortly, and purchase after that!
Next up, a new sideways asymmetrical crochet shawl, called the Free Spirit Shell Shawl.
Perhaps you recongize the yarn? It's Knit Picks Chroma in fingering. The shawl is made sideways and is a simple 2 row repeat, and after the last pattern repeat is worked (crocheting until you are almost out of yarn), you work the one row border. It's slightly asymmetrical, meaning it's not a perfect triangle shape, which to me just adds to the charm.
Shawl is currently being tested in my group & will be available very soon!

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock." Isaiah 26:3–4
I wish I had and internal GPS so I could throw my real one out the car window. I can't count the number of times I've keyed in an address only to find that 20 minutes later I'm pulled over in a parking lot because the GPS needs to "recalculate." We love when things work out in neat and timely ways. We like to reach our destination smoothly and avoid roadblocks at any cost. It's the waiting and wondering that can lead us to frustration, a feeling of confusion, and even doubt.
It was 18 months ago that God placed the seed of church planting in my heart and began to turn and cultivate the soil. It wasn't something I planned. As my wife and I started to pray there were a lot of questions. What it would look like? Would we need to relocate from South Carolina? The only thing I knew for sure was God's calling and that whatever happened, it had to be about Jesus alone and proclaiming his saving grace.
In the past eight months, through waiting and wondering God has taught me to rest on these foundational truths.
God is sovereign
It's incredible some of the ways God has sovereignly led us to Mars Hill Church, but it wasn't without a lot of "recalculating" and waiting patiently for him to move. There were plenty of days waiting, wondering, and in prayer when all I could do was say, "I know Mars Hill is where we're supposed to be." God is sovereign.
God's timing is perfect
There was even a test of faith when another ministry opportunity was presented. I hadn't yet been offered the lead pastor residency position with Mars Hill, but believing in God's call to this church, I turned that other opportunity down. One hour later, a Mars Hill leader called to offer me the residency. God's timing is perfect.
God is always good
After accepting the offer, we needed to pack up and move to Seattle in one month to start the residency program. Our house sold in eight days, and my wife was released from her teaching contract without penalty. God is always good.
Anytime confusion or doubt started to creep in, there were two verses that anchored my soul. Isaiah 26:3–4 says, "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock."
We can trust that God is sovereign. We can trust that his timing is perfect. We can trust that God is always good. Why? Because he was willing to give his only, perfect Son, Jesus, to die for sinners like you and me. So that by grace alone we might be saved, not having to earn love. We can be assured that we have a good and loving Father who doesn't abandon us, but has a plan for his glory and our good.
Today I'm a lead pastor resident at Mars Hill, not because I had a golden résumé, or knew someone who knew someone. I'm a sinner, saved by grace alone. My wife and I packed up and moved across country because God's call was clear, plant churches, love the city, and make disciples. I have the privilege of doing that with a church that loves Jesus and places him above all, because only Jesus saves. It is all about him.
Drew Hensley is a lead pastor resident at the U-District church.

ButtonBase.IsPressed Property
Gets a value that indicates whether a ButtonBase is currently activated.
Namespace: System.Windows.Controls.Primitives
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if the ButtonBase is activated; otherwise false. The default is false.
IsPressed is the state of a button that indicates the left mouse button or SPACEBAR is pressed over the button. When IsPressed is true, the control captures the mouse. As a result, the control will raise mouse events such as MouseEnter and IsMouseDirectlyOverChanged. Note that using the AccessText or ENTER does not change IsPressed or capture the mouse, but is does raise the Click event.
Starting with the .NET Framework version 3.0 Service Pack 1, IsPressed has a protected setter. To use this functionality, your application should target the .NET Framework version 3.5. For more information, see .NET Framework Versions and Dependencies.
This example shows how to use the IsPressed property in a trigger style.

Nats drop both of their spring openers
The Nationals made their spring debut today with less than positive results. The boys down south split into two squads today, as they often will in spring training, sending one group to Jupiter to play the Marlins, and another to Kissimmee to play the Astros.
Jupiter Squad - Nationals 4, Marlins 10
The game started well enough for the Nationals.
J.D. Martin started the game with two perfect innings throwing 14 of his 19 pitches for strikes. Martin struck out one batter and walked none indicating he was well prepared coming into camp.
Following Martin was the stashed man, Collin Balester, who tossed one scoreless inning in the third before allowing a solo homer to Marlins prospect Bryan Petersen in the fourth. Petersen finished the day 2-4 with three runs and two RBI. Balester also had two walks and two strikeouts in his appearance. Honestly the two walks is a little bit more discouraging than the home run. In spring a major goal for pitchers early is to re-learn how to throw strikes. Often you will see them work more on hitting spots than getting outs.
Next up Brian Bruney had a poor Nationals debut, letting up two runs and a walk in his one inning outing. Logan Kensing than tossed a scoreless frame in the sixth before Luis Atilano got shelled for five runs, four earned, in the seventh inning.
Ron Villone came on in the eighth and was only able to record one out before being pulled. The veteran allowed one hit, three walks, and three earned runs.
At the plate the Nationals young shortstop, Ian Desmond, shined. He hit 2-3 with a double and a run. Kevin Mench contributed a homer.
Kissimmee Squad - Nationals 5, Astros 15
Just like in the Jupiter game, the Nationals got a good performance from their starting pitcher. Garret Mock tossed two scoreless frames while allowing three hits and no walks.
Shairon Martis took over in the third and had his wheels fall off in the fourth, allowing six earned runs and six hits. Outings like this wont help his case for making the club in 2010.
Joel Peralta came on to finish out the fourth but let up three earned runs and a homer himself.
Matt Capps made his Nationals debut in the fifth and let up two runs, three hits, and a homer.
It was an ugly pitching performance all around and hopefully for the Nats it was more a matter of getting comfortable than anything else.

'Guild Wars 2'
NC Soft
Windows 8/7/Vista/XP
ESRB rating: Teen
Review rating: 4.0 stars
After several years of trying to top the undisputed king of MMO's, aka "World of Warcraft," most game developers have turned to the micro-transaction model. While it's great that these MMOs don't have monthly fees, most of them give too much of an advantage to anyone willing to buy in-game items with real money. Fortunately, "Guild Wars 2" offers players an exciting and fun game that eschews the idea that players can "pay to win."
Instead of buying armor, weapons and/or accessories, the micro-transactions in "GW2" basically give players extra money to purchase the same items that non-paying customers can buy. As a result, players can either enjoy a fully-featured fantasy-based MMO without paying anything extra, or they can use real money to obtain items quicker. This seems fair.
This sequel is set 250 years after the events found in the "Guild Wars: Nighfall" expansion. Tyria is barely recognizable because of the rise of Elder Dragons who literally ripped their way through the planet. What I find fascinating is the addition of personal storylines that dramatically differ for each player. These aren't boring stories put in place just to say they exist. Instead, they're engrossing tales that help propel players forward. I also love how every story changes with each player's decisions.
It's refreshing to play an MMO where players aren't overwhelmed by dozens of quests at a time. "GW2" uses the main storyline for major quests that offer useful rewards, and also incorporates occasional "favor" quests that run the standard gamut from escorting NPCs to killing enemies. However, it seems like most of my time was spent participating in various fun dynamic events spread all over Tyria! No matter where players are, there's always a dynamic event close by that tasks players with everything from activating switches to collecting ooze to defending areas from mini-invasions. This is a cool way to force players to cooperate with each other, and every player is rewarded based on their amount of participation. In addition to quests and dynamic events, there are also dozens of deadly dungeons to explore.
Since the world of Tyria is strictly player versus environment (PvE), it's necessary to access special features to fight other players (PvP). Players can choose to enter arena-style battles or join other players on the same server and engage in World versus World versus World (WvWvW). This gigantic world battle pits players from three servers against each other in an awesome fight to control strategic points. It's even possible to incorporate devastating siege weapons and break supply lines. One of my favorite features is how every player is bumped up to the maximum level of 80 for PvP, which ensures that winning is based on skill and teamwork rather than level advantages.
While there are several character classes available in the game such as thief, warrior, and elementalist, players are given the tools to survive by themselves in a dungeon. This means everyone has access to healing and crowd control abilities, but some classes have more robust abilities than others. It's great to be self sufficient, but one downside of this feature is that most players choose a DPS build, which limits variety.
New to the standard MMO genre is real-time dodging ability where any player can dodge most incoming attacks. This adds a bit more skill and realism to the game. I also appreciate the ability to alter the look of gear as well as dye armor. There's nothing more frustrating than obtaining new gear and hating the way it looks on my character. Now I can choose one or more cool cosmetic looks, such as Steampunk, and my character will always match!
"Guild Wars 2" isn't revolutionary, but it's still my favorite MMO to date.

Kate Winslet's 'Titanic' screen test has Jeremy Sisto as Jack
"Titanic," the 1997 James Cameron phenomenon, apparently could have starred someone very different from Leonardo DiCaprio. The Blu-Ray version of the movie hits shelves Tuesday (Sept. 11) and one of the extra features is a never-before-seen screen test for eventual star Kate Winslet.
But the man playing her Jack Dawson? Jeremy Sisto. And while Leo is certainly awesome and was terrific in "Titanic," there is a little part of us that is sad Sisto wasn't the choice. He's so young and adorable in this clip! It's all just so awkward.
What do you think, "Titanic" fans? Would the movie had been as big of a blockbuster without the dreamy Leo as one of the stars?

I love Alcyone! It's so under-appreciated. However, I don't really think of Halcyon as a name, since that is legitimately an alternate name for the kingfisher bird. For me, it is a poetic word rather than something a person should be called. Alcyone, though, is lovely.

The 2011 holiday season is giving the vast multitudes of Denver Broncos plenty to celebrate as the team is far ahead of the dismal preseason predictions of pro football pundits.
This is not written as criticism of what seemed at the time to be logical projection, but serves once again as a reminder that all preseason predictions are predicated on the previous year's performance.
New year, new leadership and coaching, new results. Or maybe, we should say, new half year.
For all the dramatic developments the Broncos have made this year have come since the team was 1-4, a time frame when Head Coach John Fox acknowledged that he and the coaching staff was stilling getting to know the team. Looks like the "getting to know you" phase is moving along very well.
This is just the third time in Broncos history that the team has been three games under .500 at any point in the year and came back to even.
From 1-4 to 6-5, the Broncos are relevant, the fans are ecstatic and the core mix of young and veteran players bodes well for the future.
But as George Allen liked to say, the future is now, and now is plenty impressive.
The Broncos have joined only the 1971 Miami Dolphins in the post-merger National Football League (1970 to the present) to have a four-game span in which the team committed one or fewer turnovers, held opponents to 60 or fewer points and rushed for 876 or more yards.
Two teams: the 1971 AFC champion Dolphins, and your Denver Broncos this year. That, folks, is one sobering statistic.
The defense, running game, offensive line and special teams all have had major roles in this remarkable turnaround.
And then there is the play of the quarterback.
It seems as though there is a new "first" in every game Tim Tebow plays.
This week's latest is that in addition to some fine passes at critical junctures—end of the first half and end of the game (both are pretty critical, right?)–his 22 rushing attempts rank as the most carries by a quarterback since 1950 in NFL play.
Also, for the season Tebow has one interception and one fumble on 237 times touching the ball, second lowest figure of any quarterback in the league, trailing only Aaron Rodgers of the World Champion Green Bay Packers.
Like all statistics, it is just a grouping of numbers, but it IS a statistic, nevertheless.
Lots of events happen in a game, and sometimes, over a period of years, there is déjà vu.
When the Chargers had a field goal blocked in overtime, with the block negated by Denver calling time out, this was the second time in history that San Diego had two chances at an overtime field goal to beat the Broncos, each time with the first one blocked, and each time with Denver calling a time out to give San Diego a second chance.
This was the second time—out of two—for it to work out badly for the Broncos. As we all know, Sunday in San Diego the second attempt was wide right, then Tebow drove the Broncos down the field for the winning field goal by Matt Prater.
But back on November 17, 1985 in a game played at Mile High Stadium, Broncos Ring of Fame safety Dennis Smith blocked the field goal, only to have team captain Mike Harden call time out.
Smith said in the huddle—and this seems so incredulous, that he thought he could block it again!
As crazy as that sounds, remember that great players are defined by making great plays at pivotal times in a game.
Smith in fact did block his second kick in a span of 45 seconds, and this time it took an absolutely perfect bounce into the hands of another future Ring of Famer, cornerback Louis Wright, who picked it up on the fly (and he was the fastest player on that field, or most any other field, most of the time) and dashed untouched into the end zone for a 30-24 Denver win.
As Yogi Berra says, sometimes it's a case of déjà vu, all over again.
Anything can happen when two NFL teams take the field. There is nothing like the theater of the NFL, and the Broncos are center stage in that theater in 2011.
Next performance is at Minnesota this Sunday. The Broncos will be hoping for another curtain call in what has developed into a special season for the team and its fans.
