Richie Incognito is a jerk. He's has always been a jerk and he will always be considered a jerk, especially after this recent controversy. The thing is, I'm not buying it this time.
When I first heard the news that Incognito was involved in another incident, my reaction was immediately to put all blame on him regardless of circumstances and without a second thought. As I've watched events unfold I'm seeing a new story. Richie Incognito was thrown under a bus.
My first indication that something might be different here was in the interview with Incognito outside of his apartment. He appeared calm, gracious and respectful, nothing like the belligerent psychopath that's been portrayed. This alone doesn't mean a whole lot, but it got me thinking and it opened up my mind.
The second revelation in this drama is that the Dolphins players apparently believe that Johnathan Martin and Incognito were friends. Why does this matter? Well, it matters because sometimes adult men who are friends say the worst imaginable thing to each other. I'm not condoning the use of the n-word or the other statements, but sometimes buddies say those things to each other and it's not meant to be threatening.
The final straw for me was finding out that it was Martin or someone from Martin's camp who released the voicemail themselves. This wasn't ESPN digging it up, or some other source. It was Martin himself. Why would Martin do something like that? Why would he give up his friend after he had some kind of mental breakdown? To save his own job. In the NFL, there is no way Martin could show his face again after giving up on his team like he did. Therefore, Jonathan Martin threw Incognito under the bus to save his career.
This whole idea of mine is probably a bit of a stretch, but it's not something I've heard much outside of a few Dolphins players and maybe a few ex-players in the media. So if you have any ideas about the situation, let's hear them.
Go Hawks!

Producer Heyman "Cautiously Optimistic" for Kids' Return to Harry Potter and the Order of the PhoenixHP Cast
November 20, 2004, 11:44 AM
At the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD launch, Producer David Heyman said to assembled reporters that he is optimistic about the return of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint for the film version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, to be adapted for the screen by Michael Goldenberg and rumored to be directed by David Yates. Quotage:
Are you going to replace the three leads [for HP5]?
Heyman: I hope not. The kids are on for the fourth. We now will start discussing the fifth, it's the same on each film. You're in the middle of the third you discuss the fourth, you're in the middle of the second, you discuss the third. I hope they stay with us and they'll stay with us as long as they want to. There may come a point some day where they decide not to and if they do, they'll go with all of our blessings. But I hope they stay and they're wonderful, and I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll have them again for five.
More interview transcripts and tidbits soon.

text: With all this talk online about Stan Kroenke being interested in buying the Dodgers it got me thinking. There was a lot of talk about the land surrounding Dodger Stadium. If it would be included in the sale of the Dodgers. As of right now the land is owned by Frank McCourt but not included in the sale of the team. However, there are rumors that the surrounding land could be purchased in a separate sale from Frank McCourt. You probably know where I'm going with this. Here's what I think. Kroenke has plans to bid on the Dodgers and also go after that surrounding land. If thats the case, he would have a spot to build a new Rams stadium. He would be able to build a whole complex. Possibly new stadiums for the Dodgers and Rams. But hey, maybe thats not his plan. Maybe he wants The Powers That Be in St. Louis to think of that as a realistic option. Before somebody goes and jumps down my throat this is just something I thought about from reading multiple articles over the last few months. Maybe this is already a rumor in St. Louis. What do I know. I'm just a lonely Rams fan living in Philly.

FOOTBALL: Fitting tribute to club legend Lawley
6:00pm Sunday 1st June 2014 in Sport By David Williams, Sports Reporter
CROWDS turned out in force at Grove Corner on Saturday to celebrate the life of local hero Barry Lawley and raise more than £1,000 for a worthy cause.
Those who attended the charity event at the home of Portland United made it a day to remember for family and friends of the late Blues' player and manager, who passed away earlier this year.
The activities began with a seven-a-side match between the under-9s of Portland United Sports and Weymouth Youth, with goals from Brinley Doyle (2), Charlie Rowe and Lewis Howe giving the hosts a 4-1 victory and the Barry Lawley Trophy.
After a penalty shoot-out involving the youngsters, a special game between a Portland XI and Islanders XI – two clubs that Lawley managed – saw players past and present dust off their boots in memory of the man they either played for or with.
In the end it was Portland who emerged as 6-4 winners with Darren Whyton (2), Darren Deadman (2), Maurice Welch and Lawley's grandson Jake Masters scoring for the victors.
Paul Holmes (2), Simon Austin and Pat Reader got on the scoresheet for the Islanders.
Speaking after the event, Lawley's daughter, Donna Marquis, said: "It was absolutely brilliant and altogether on the day we raised £1,164 for the Chalbury Unit at Weymouth Community Hospital.
"Two of the staff from the unit were there to accept the money which was really nice because they could see what we had done.
"It just showed how much dad was really thought of and he would have been really proud of Jake for scoring a goal."
Whyton, a close family friend who helped organise the day, was also thrilled with how everything went.
He added: "It was a good day all round and hopefully we'll be able to make it an annual thing."
The Lawley family, including Barry's wife Jose, would like to thank everyone who attended, those that played in the matches, Doctor Robert, Weymouth Ukeleleans and Chris Palmer for the music, A1 Bouncy Castle Hire and Funny Face Paint Parties for making the event such a big success.
Match ball sponsor: Jim Hind and Sally

doping controls to remain in cycling- 28 Jan 2010 00:00:00
Out-of-competition doping controls in cycling are set to remain after a Spanish court rejected cyclist Carlos Roman Golbano's appeal.
Golbano was claiming that doping controls carried out away from competition are unconstitutional and a breach of individual rights.
Cycling's governing body (UCI) called the victory a 'major step forward' in the fight against doping. UCI had launched the case against Golbano together with the Spanish cycling federation.
Golbano had initially presented his case in 2007 after failing a blood test in 2004.

Jim Bowden and GM Corner are back with a roundtable on sabermetrics, featuring , as you'd expect, Theo Epstein, Jon Daniels, Justin Upton (!), my boss Dave Cameron, Kevin Goldstein, and, hey, it wouldn't be a sabermetrics roundtable without... you guessed it... Dayton Moore. No, that is not a joke. Among Dayton's favorite stats are, and this is a quote as close as I can remember "runs created, runs scored... it's about runs scored and runs driven in." The whole thing is worth watching, although mostly for unintentional comedy. Watch all the way to the end for pure Bowden-y comedy.
Jim "Boy Wonder" Bowden (!) leads a "Small Market GM Roundtable" with contributions from Theo Epstein (representing big markets), Josh Byrnes, Dave Dombrowski, Mark Shapiro, and... wait for it... a really, really, beaten-down looking Dayton Moore. I'll let you watch for the highlights.I made a bunch of jokes on Twitter, but I'll let you guys take it. Dayton does say "impactful" and busts out the "we have to overpay... not that we're making excuses!" line.

"Towards an Understanding of Intuition and its Role in Scientific Endeavor" (pdf)
Lois Isenman
After many years working as a biologist I realized that I approached my work differently from most of my colleagues. Eventually I recognized this was because I have a cognitive style that is unusually weighted towards intuition. As a Science Scholar at the former Bunting Institute of Radcliffe College, I began trying to understand what intuition actually means and how it works. Quite to my surprise, I had a number of complex and revealing intuitions about intuition. Over the next number of years I explored the biological and cognitive mechanisms that likely underlie this mysterious mental capacity. The scientific and intuitive material have bootstrapped on each other to a surprising degree. The book I have written provides, among other things, a bridge between these two seemingly very different ways of knowing. It is titled Understanding Intuition: A Sense of the Whole. I maintain a personal weblog titled "Intuition In-depth: Bridging Science and Spirituality." I have also worked with a series of Brandeis undergraduates to set up and maintain a weblog titled "The Bridge: A Science and Spirituality Resource."
Current Projects
My area of study is intuition. I resonate scientific understanding of this compelling yet mysterious mental capacity with a number of intuitions I have had about it, such as its characterization as "a blink of the eye" (Isenman, 1997). I also examine the variety of different roles intuition can play in scientific endeavor.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to school they go. Swaim and Christina Hutson's first full collection as creative directors of Generra (where Swaim consulted on last season's menswear) was inspired, the duo said, by Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. But where the Disney dwarves were whiskered, the dudes who tromped through Hiro Ballroom looked years away from their first shave. The collection—like the Generra customer—was young, young, young. The colors were acid-bright, appropriate for a brand whose legacy is Hypercolor, and the emphasis on creating tension between them in single looks brought to mind the brief moments of rave revival that crop up once a decade or so. "Fuzzy rave," mused Christina backstage after the show, and, yes, there was a softness and an ease to the collection that should help to move some of the wool suiting and slouchy knits. With their knit beanies on their heads and anoraks on their backs, the guys looked a little like young versions of that latter-day beardo, Steve Zissou. It was refreshing—if a little unexpected—to find visions of the scientist in the midst of New York menswear's militaria moment.

Douglas--- Students in Coffee County have developed a way to help troops overseas keep in contact with loved ones back home. It's called Cell Phones for Soldiers.
For the past six weeks, students in Coffee County have been collecting old cell phones. They will be sent to a recycling center, and the students will use the money to buy pre-paid phone cards for troops who are deployed.
"Everybody has them in their drawers put away, and that's the thing, clean out your drawers. It's Spring time, get them in and turn them in for a good cause for these soldiers," says Coordinator Judy Worrell.
So far the students have collected more than 200 phones to be recycled.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
The high-intensity workout program Insanity is well suited for those who are looking to seriously up their fitness routines. The program is cardio-centric and difficult, but reviewers say that the challenge is addicting and delivers results.
Excellent instruction, but can feel repetitive: Trainer Shaun T. has parlayed his love for dance and fitness into a booming series. Reviewers say that Shaun T. is very motivational, keeping the pace of the workouts moving quickly while providing ample instruction and tips and tricks on form. This DVD is set in a gym-like scene and Shaun T. interacts with the demonstrators on the video as well, which reviewers say is motivating. Cuing is excellent, but the program can feel repetitive at times.
Effective, but repetitive: The Insanity program is geared toward those who are looking to seriously increase the difficulty level of their fitness regiment. Each DVD is slightly different and varies in length. For the first four weeks of the program, instructor Shaun T. works participants through six cardio workouts -- from plyometrics to pure cardio and circuit training.
The workouts are typically around 30 to 40 minutes, though as the program progresses the DVDs increase in both length and difficulty. The second half of the program follows one basic structure (as do most of the DVDs) but vary in length and exercises. The format for these routines is as follows: three to five high-intensity exercises done for three minutes, followed by 30 seconds of recovery. Each is repeated a total of three times.
Reviewers say the program is very effective and, paired with the nutrition plan, delivers excellent results. The major drawback of this program is that it is very repetitive and can feel tedious, even with Shaun T.'s excellent motivational instruction. While there are warnings about the minimal level of fitness suggested prior to beginning this program, we found several reviews that say the program is very tough on the joints and back. Reviewers suggest that even those of a high fitness level who have joint or back problems consider an alternative program.
Included nutrition plan bumps up the program's effectiveness. In addition to the 10 DVDs included, the Insanity: 60 Day Total Body Conditioning Workout DVD Program also comes with a tracking calendar so participants can see their progress and a basic nutrition plan. The nutrition plan is the basic go-to of healthy meals like grilled salmon with asparagus in controlled portions. The first month sticks to five meals that are approximately 300 calories each (though that can be modified based on goals). The second month increases the caloric intake to support the program's intense workouts and the (supposedly) achieved metabolic increase due to a possible increase in muscle mass.

with your multitouch pad you can open and close your stack with two finger gester . Just Up your two finger and stack is open down your two finger stack will be closed same rule apply on mac os x dock icon when we bring the cursor on any dock icon and up our two finger in multitouch pad the expose is working even if the application is not open it will show recent open files.
A small trick for adjusting a window. Click and hold the titlebar. Than with one finger swipe the titlebar to the top of your screen. You will see a slightly darkened window. If you release your mouse/touchpad the window will fill the window to it's maximum (like clicking on the green + radio-button).
If you the same but then from the top to down, the window restores to it's previous size (mostly smaller).
I accidentally attempted this trick of previewing the documents (without opening the file) in full screen. Not big trick, but quite productive.
Normally pressing the "Spacebar" will preview the documents and to view it full screen need press the "opposite direction arrows". Sometimes it can slow you down.
To open the file full screen hold "alt option" key on the keyboard and press"Spacebar". Preview will display full screen and you will enjoy more if you have a 27″ iMac.
Hope you guys like this one.
You know "Lion" isn't far away, it's been announced, there's video's and information on Apple's web sites, and we have a bit of an idea what is coming to us. Exciting times ahead.

We all know or may have forgotten how at least to do a screen grab of a particular part of the screen with shift+cmd+4 but, try adding a space to the end of that
Check it out, shift+cmd+4+space = camera icon. Now click on a window or even the dock, tool bar or your icon set on the desktop. Try it now…

So earlier tonight I had one of those Marie Calendars Sweet and Sour Chicken dinners.
Anyway, I open the fucking thing up and the vegetable section contains practically nothing but broccoli stems.
I was beside myself.
Seriously, who in the flying motherfuck would pack nothing but broccoli stems into a TV dinner? What kind of cruel, debased motherfucker does this? Nobody likes broccoli stems, man. You know why? Broccoli stems fucking suck. That's how I know this was premeditated. No way was this some kind of accident. Some sadist back at the fucking Marie Calendars factory decided to jam all the fucking stems into one dinner and ship it off, knowing some poor sap such as myself would open it up, go to poke the requisite hole over the veggies and go "OH WHAT THE FUCK, DUDE?".
I don't know who the jackass who packed my dinner is, where he's from or what he looks like but I hope he falls into some sort of massive sorting machine, gets chopped into pieces and mailed to twenty different cities.
What a dick.

Edward's soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again.
This kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine—like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us.
The countdown begins! I'm excited as always. Can't wait to see how they will make the battle between the vigilant new born vampires VS Jacob Black's wolf pack. I'm sure it'll be amazing!

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- A Democrat running for the Iowa Senate is facing a challenge to his candidacy that claims he's been disqualified to serve after a recent operating while intoxicated conviction.
Paperwork filed Thursday with the Iowa secretary of state and obtained by The Associated Press argues that Tony Bisignano lost his right to vote and hold office after he was convicted in January of operating while intoxicated, second offense.
The challenge is filed by Ned Chiodo, who's running against Bisignano in the primary for the Des Moines Senate seat being vacated by gubernatorial candidate Jack Hatch.
Chiodo argues that Bisignano committed an aggravated misdemeanor, which is considered an "infamous crime" under Iowa law and strips offenders of citizenship rights.
The Iowa attorney general's office disagrees, but courts haven't definitively decided the question.

LONDON (Reuters) – Skype, which is being bought by Microsoft for $8.5 billion, introduced a new service on Thursday allowing users of Android phones to make free video calls to Skype contacts, including those on Apple iPhones.
The company whose name became synonymous with Internet calling in the mid-2000s said its updated Android app would initially support video calling on selectedHTC and Sony Ericsson Phones, with more to follow soon.
"We are committed to bringing Skype video calling to as many platforms as possible," Skype's product and marketing chief Neil Stevens said in a statement.
The move will help makers of phones based on Google's Android software compete with Apple's FaceTime video-calling service launched last year for the iPhone and now available on its iPad 2 tablet and Mac computers.
Video calling could also help new Skype owner Microsoft promote its Windows Phone smartphone platform, which it is merging with Nokia's in an effort to become competitive with Android and Apple.
Skype had an average of 145 million connected users per month in the fourth quarter of 2010. Together, they made 207 billion minutes of calls in 2010, about 42 percent of which was video calls.
Mobile video calling is in its infancy, but the fixed-line Internet calling market grew 12.6 percent to $17.3 billion last year, according to UK-based telecoms research firm Point Topic.
With the new Android Skype app, users will be able to make free one-to-one video calls between Android phones, iPhones, Mac computers, Microsoft Windows PCs and televisions.
The first Android handsets to support Skype video calling are the HTC Desire 5, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro and the Google Nexus S.

Joseph Kallinger, the Enigmatic Cobbler
The Slightest Clue
Not far away, an important piece of evidence was found. A woman walking her dog had seen a man and boy run down a hill, bend over in a puddle of water to do something, and then run away. The man had taken off his shirt and tie and left them lying on the ground. The woman called the police, and they confiscated the discarded shirt and tie, which appeared to have bloodstains on them, for testing. The puddle, too, appeared to have been used to wash blood away. In the mud was a clear footprint, which they set to work to cast.
At the Romaine home, Detective Robert Roseman looked for evidence as well. He made a list of what the family believed had been taken. However, much of this was recovered in the house, apparently abandoned when the burglars had fled the scene in haste. There were some watches and rings still missing, and money. The officers dusted for prints and found several rolls of adhesive tape, a bloody footprint, and some tape with hair on it.
They also looked for witnesses and found many people in the neighborhood who had seen the man and boy walking together that day—not only there but also in nearby Fort Lee. Apparently the odd couple was spotted there first. But they did not appear to be from around there. No one knew who they were.
One person told him the boy had knocked at his door and asked if the Joneses lived there. Apparently it was a way to see who was at home. It seemed as if this man and boy were just staking out places to rob. A bus driver said he had picked up two passengers who had a strange appearance that matched the offenders and had transported them to New York City. He said they had seemed to be in a hurry.
It was not difficult to trace their route from the park to the bus stop, since they had discarded things like watches, bracelets, rings and the leather knife sheath along the way. The police even found the knife, still bloody, and it was a match to the wounds the murder victim had suffered. Then they found a .32-caliber revolver cast aside in some bushes, and the Romaines recognized it as the gun the man had used to threaten them.
The autopsy of the murder victim indicated that not only had her throat been cut, but she had also been stabbed below the left breast, penetrating the heart, and below the left armpit, which had penetrated a lung. There was no evidence that the killer had attempted to undress her. She had died from a severe loss of blood.
Neither of the weapons found could be traced to an owner, but the discarded shirt had been manufactured in Philadelphia. A laundry mark, difficult to decipher, revealed the letters KAL. The crime lab set to work on it.
Prosecutor Larry McClure figured that this odd couple had done burglaries before, so he sent out a description of the man/boy team and received back four separate incidents in New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania towns. All of the victims into whose homes the man had gained entrance agreed, according to Downs, that the man had a peculiar odor about him. Their MO was to have the boy knock on doors and ask if someone named Jones lived there while the man waited in the street. Whenever a young woman with a nice build answered, especially one with children to be used as leverage, they would force their way inside to rob the place, strip the woman, tie her up, and subject her to sexual assault. Often the woman was tied to the box springs of a bed.
The man had ordered three of the women he'd bound to perform oral sex on him, and he had unsuccessfully tried to rape one of them. At another home, he had forced four female members of a bridge club, who had arrived one by one, into various humiliating positions in the nude. He made one woman look at his knife, as if it was a substitute for his penis. He had also cut one on the chest. Then he and the boy had run. From that home, they managed to escape with $20,000 worth of goods. At another, they took $5,000 in valuables. They always got away on a bus.
Only after the fatal incident in Leonia, New Jersey, were these various crimes finally connected. Unknown fingerprints were collected from the Romaine house, but the FBI could not identify them. They could only hope that someone would report these two before they struck again.
Then on January 14, the team apparently showed up in Margate, New Jersey.

Generosity of Henniker waitress who paid soldiers' tab despite her own financial woes is rewarded
Henniker waitress Sarah Hoidahl, left, and the note she left for two National Guard soldiers picking up their tab in the government shutdown
Hoidahl, 22, is a single mom who lives with her mother and her 16-month-old son, Ashton, in a two-room house without a TV set. With no car, she has to bum rides to Ruby Tuesday in Concord, where she tends bar and works as a waitress.
She didn't tell her boss or even her mom what she did and didn't think any more of it.
Unbeknownst to Hoidahl, the two women told her boss what their waitress had done, and he told the New Hampshire National Guard. After the Guard posted an item about the incident on its Facebook page on Oct. 10, the media took notice, with stories appearing in newspapers all over the world.
In the five-minute spot, DeGeneres first told Hoidahl, "I'm going to pay you back," and pulled out $27.75 from a small change purse. Then the talk-show host surprised her with a 50-inch television set and a giant check for $10,000 as Hoidahl burst into happy tears.
Hoidahl's manager at Ruby Tuesday, Brian Hinckley, said the entire staff watched the show on Friday. "The whole restaurant stopped," he said. "They were all dancing and excited when they mentioned us."
Sarah's mom, Linda Hoidahl, is a nurse at New England College in Henniker. She watched the "Ellen" show on campus Friday since they didn't have a TV at home - until now, that is.
"I've always said no matter how bad things are for you, there's always somebody that has it worse, and you always need to remember that," she said.
"My mom always told me growing up, 'We may not have a lot of money but we're rich in love.'"

Blog contributed by Formula 1 Team
The world of Formula One is one of dedication, passion and high-octane excitement: the action on the track is the stuff of legends. But Formula One is also considered, and rightly so, the pinnacle of technology: it's a world in which the most minute changes and innovations can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Whether you are chasing an opponent or the clock, every ounce of performance is vital.
Nowadays, the lion's share of a car's performance is given by aerodynamics: balancing the car to ensure the air flows in the intended way. This is the central part of the work of every designer as he or she strives for the ultimate solution that will bring the reward of hundredths, or even tenths, of a second.
3D printing plays a huge role in this aerodynamic push to the extreme, and the partnership that Sahara Force India established with 3D Systems allows us to enter this field alongside the leaders in the sector.
The iPro 9000 and SLA 5000 machines are kept running day and night at our wind tunnel facilities, where the most innovative updates are tested and refined before being produced for the car. This process is particularly intensive in the pre-season: in the frantic weeks between the completion of the base designs and the first test, thousands of variations of different parts are created – a procedure that would never be possible without the aid of 3D Systems.
3D printing is cost effective and, most importantly for Formula One teams, time effective: when you only have a handful of days between the end of a race and the departure for the next round, it is crucial to have an immediate response – something producing pieces with 3D System machines allows.
Before these technologies were created, teams used to rely on carbon modelling – the same process used to create pieces for the full sized car, but applied to the scaled wind tunnel model: to give an idea of the incredible requirements of this, one single carbon fibre brake duct – one of the thousands of different parts that make up a Formula One car – would take up to a week to create. 3D printing allows us to create 50 pairs in three days: this difference means we can create whole ranges of variations of any part and test them on the wind tunnel model almost immediately.
In the run up to the Australian Grand Prix, the first race of the season, countless parts were created and tested this way. This helped the designers perfect their ideas before even a hand was laid on the 2013 car; it allowed us to plan vital corrections once the pre-season tests gave us the first real, on-track feedback; and, eventually, enabled the team to keep pushing on the upgrades that are constantly devised for our racer, the VJM06.
In the next few months, we will explore the way 3D Systems and its machines help us prepare for specific races and how their contribution is crucial to keeping us at the sharp end of the Formula One grid. As we prepare for the European leg of the Championship after these first four races – a moment when most teams bring in their first upgrades of the season – the rewards of this partnership are ready to be taken.
3D Systems is a leading provider of 3D printing centric design-to-manufacturing solutions including 3D printers, print materials and cloud sourced on-demand custom parts for professionals and consumers alike in materials including plastics, metals, ceramics and edibles. The company also provides integrated 3D scan-based design, freeform modeling and inspection tools and an integrated 3D planning and printing digital thread for personalized surgery and patient specific medical devices. Its products and services replace and complement traditional methods and reduce the time and cost of designing new products by printing real parts directly from digital input. These solutions are used to rapidly design, create, communicate, prototype or produce functional parts and assemblies, empowering customers to manufacture the future.

One last post before I leave this afternoon to drive to Logan airport- It's been a whirlwind 48 hours of packing, running out at 10PM to the nearest Target for a webcam, and randomly waking up in the middle of the night remembering that I hadn't packed my socks. However, the good news is that this mess of stuff:has now found it's way into two suitcases and a carry-on (mostly though my mom's incredible packing skill, which I definitely did not inherit). I'll be arriving in Oxford tomorrow morning around 9, and after a 'Fresher's Week' orientation of fun and festivities my classes begin! I've already been contacted by my tutors for my primary (Shakespeare) and my secondary (a history class on Elizabethan England). I already have an essay due for my Shakespeare Primary next week; it shows exactly how long I've been on summer vacation (almost 5 months!) that I'm actually excited to have homework again. I'll be living in a duplex that's about a 30 minutes walk from campus, so I'm a little nervous to be 'off campus' (purely in the Holy Cross context, since last year I lived literally 25 feet from Hogan Center) but the independence will also be exciting.
I keep glancing at the clock to make sure I'm not losing track of time- I still have a million little things to do before I go- but I'm on my way!

The Borg are coming and have been since a signal was sent in the 22nd century. Q just gave Picard a cold water wake up to this fact. Nothing Nero has done would change that. Nero's weapons won't stop V'ger or its quest to find "The Creator"
Praxis exploded due to over mining. Nero doesn't care so HE won't tell the Klingons to be enviromentally minded. (Even if the warning would be heeded.) There is no reason for the Klingons to change their mining practices unless Spock Prime warns them and the very act of warning them might fall afoul of the law of unintended consequences.
On the other hand it might turn out better... The events on Praxis are very much susceptible to change.
Look at it like this: Let's say that Character X lost his parents in a car crash. He goes back in time and prevents the accident. The lives of himself and his siblings will immediately diverge from the original path, but the life of someone the same age on the other side of the world may not be affected by the Butterfly Effect for many years or maybe not at all.
Ever notice that many of the same people who want variety in life frown very hard on vanilla... But without Vanilla, Baskin Robbins just wouldn't BE 31 flavors.

The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games are open. On Friday, 7 February, the Russian resort's Fisht Olympic Stadium hosted the Opening Ceremony which, in a colourful and lively display, marked the official start of the 22nd edition of the event. The event brought many elements of Russian history and culture – such as the Bolshoi Ballet – and reached its climax when two Russian sport icons, former ice hockey player Vladislav Tretyak and former figure skater irina Rodnina, lit the Olympic flame.(Check out the images of the Opening Ceremony)
Over the next 16 days, more than 2,500 athletes from around 80 countries will participate in the last Olympic competition before the Rio 2016 Games. The Paralympic events will take place between 7-16 March. For the Rio 2016 Committee, it is an opportunity to gain experience to be used to celebrate unforgettable Games in two years' time.
Sochi, with around 350,000 inhabitants, is the first Russian city to host the Winter Olympic Games. This edition will include competitions in 15 sport disciplines, split into two competition zones: the Coastal Cluster and the Mountain Cluster. On the coast, six venues will host indoor events: ice hockey, curling, figure skating, speed skating and short track speed skating, as well as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. The biathlon, cross-country skiing, freestyle skiing, snowboard, Alpine skiing, bobsleigh, luge, skeleton, ski jumping and Nordic combined competitions will take place In the Caucasus Mountains.
Brazil will have a record level of participation at the event. In total, 13 athletes will vie for the country's first medal in the history of the Winter Olympic Games: the flag bearer at the Opening Ceremony Jaqueline Mourão (cross-country skiing and biathlon), Isabel Clark (snowboard), Leandro Ribela (cross-country skiing), Jhonatan Longhi (Alpine skiing), Maya Harrisson (Alpine skiing), Josi Santos (freestyle skiing), Isadora Williams (figure skating) as well as Edson Bindilatti, Edson Martins, Fabiana dos Santos, Fábio Gonçalves, Odirlei Pessoni and Sally Mayara (bobsleigh).
Located in Krasnodar Kai region, Sochi lies on the Black Sea and is close to Russia's southern border. One of the 2018 FIFA World Cup host cities, the city's average temperature is 8.3 degrees Celsius at Games time, which may make it the warmest Winter Olympic host city in history.
One of the early highlights of this edition of the event was the torch relay. The ceremony, which lasted 123 days, saw the torch travel more than 65,000 kilometres in the hands of 14 thousand torchbearers, visiting almost three thousand cities. The tour's highlights included the North Pole, where the torch arrived on board icebreaker 50 Years of Victory, and a spacewalk in the International Space Station's external area.
"To realise what a great achievement this is, we should remember how things were seven years ago, [when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) elected Sochi…Russia used the] candidature for the Olympic Winter Games 2014 as a catalyst for the development of sport, a city and a whole region. [Now we can see the results]: a project to modernise a regional summer resort and at the same time a project to transform it to a year-round international tourist, convention and sports destination", IOC President Thomas Bach said in his speech at the opening of the Committee's recent session.
The Winter Olympic Games were first held in 1924 in Chamonix, France, and were then still called "International Winter Sports Week". They were traditionally held in the same year as the Summer Olympic Games until 1986, when they were separated and, since then, they take place at four-year intervals, two years removed from the summer event.

Security Theatre Gets Badly Out Of Hand
With the administration having announced that there were "credible" threats of anniversary attacks on the US by Al Qaeda on 9/11, everyone was admittedly a bit jumpy. The AP carried mentions of two airline incidents which caused fighter jets and security personnel to be scrambled, including this description of one relating to a Frontier Airlines flight:
Police temporarily detained and questioned three passengers at Detroit's Metropolitan Airport on Sunday after the crew of the Frontier Airlines flight from Denver reported suspicious activity on board, and NORAD sent two F-16 jets to shadow the flight until it landed safely, airline and federal officials said.
The three passengers who were taken off the plane in handcuffs were released Sunday night, and no charges were filed against them, airport spokesman Scott Wintner said.
Frontier Flight 623, with 116 passengers on board, landed without incident in Detroit at 3:30 p.m. EDT after the crew reported that two people were spending "an extraordinarily long time" in a bathroom, Frontier spokesman Peter Kowalchuck said.
FBI Detroit spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said ultimately authorities determined there was no real threat.
"Due to the anniversary of Sept. 11, all precautions were taken, and any slight inconsistency was taken seriously," Berchtold said. "The public would rather us err on the side of caution than not."
In such dry terms, it sounds reasonable that people would be "on the side of caution". Try reading instead the account of one of the three passengers cuffed and questioned — for being so suspicious as to look slightly like two guys she didn't know who were in her aisle, both of whom committed the suspicious activity of going to the bathroom:
We had been waiting on the plane for a half hour. I had to pee. I wanted to get home and see my family. And I wanted someone to tell us what was going on. In the distance, a van with stairs came closer. I sighed with relief, thinking we were going to get off the plane and get shuttled back to the terminal. I would still be able to make it home for dinner. Others on the plane also seemed happy to see those stairs coming our way.
I see stairs coming our way…yay!

Terror Suspects and Citizenship
Senator Lieberman says he plans to introduce a bill which would expand the provisions which already exist in law for removing U.S. Citizenship from those who serve in the military of another country, in order to also strip citizenship from anyone who acts in cooperation with a designated terrorist organization. I could, perhaps, see certain situations where this might be appropriate. If a US citizen was captured in a combat zone, fighting for some non-state-entity which had been designated a terrorist organization, I could see designating that person an enemy combatant — for the same reason that it makes sense to do so with non-citizens who are fighting U.S. forces in combat zones without belonging to the military of a specific country. Our rules for dealing with P.O.W.s don't really work when applied to people fighting for non-state entities, since there's no organization to eventually accept peace and end the way with terms and exchange of prisoners.

Charity match for killed PCs
A charity match will be held today for the families of the two female PCs killed attending a routine call.
PCs Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone were killed in Hattersley in September. Today a team of their fellow officers from Greater Manchester Police will take on a team of ex-Manchester City stars.
The match at Hyde United FC will kick off at 14,30 with proceeds going to the families of the two PCs.

Rep. Barbara Boyd, D-Anniston, expressed her ire toward the situation, stating she wore black every day last week because she was mourning the state of affairs facing our school systems.
"The bill should not have come out the way it was written," Boyd said. "If the bill is voted out of the House and Senate, it goes to a conference committee. From there, the committee inserted several new pages into the bill."
Boyd said she also wore a guardian angel pin on her lapel last week to signify her hope that our leaders would be guided to make the best decision for the state's public schools. She seemed to be let down by the conference committee's efforts.
"They are not following the legislative process," she said.
Sen. Jerry Fielding, R-Sylacauga, sounded optimistic despite only having one measure passed by the Senate — a request to add Alabama's right-to-work law to the State's constitution.
"We didn't have a lot of bills passed this week," Fielding said. "Our committees have been working hard to push some new bills up to the floor in preparation for the coming weeks."
Fielding said the Confirmations Committee has recommended 12 names for various board positions, including appointing Robert Kelly to the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind Board of Trustees, appointing Harris B. Morrissett to the University of Alabama Board of Trustees and re-appointing Marietta M. Urquhart to the University of Alabama Board of Trustees.
The Health Committee established a bill providing for enhanced safety requirements for abortion clinics.
"Some of the doctors who perform these abortions are based out of various locations and often aren't on hand to provide aftercare if there are complications," Fielding said. "Putting this bill into place will ensure women who seek these services can receive ambulatory care if the need arises."
The Judiciary Committee passed 13 bills up to the Senate floor. One of the bills Fielding dubbed "Caylee's Law," pushes for stiffer penalties for failing to report a missing child.
Other bills the committee pushed through to the Senate included a bill allowing state employees' wages to be garnished, a bill pushing for people to be jailed for driving without a license after having their license revoked or suspended, and a bill that seeks to penalize individuals who obtain multiple prescriptions for a controlled substance from different doctors.
Rep. Ron Johnson, R-Sylacauga, placed the blame of inactivity in the House on the shoulders of the Democrats, who he claimed made numerous efforts to delay proceedings through filibustering
"It was a very busy week in the committees, but not very productive on the floor," Johnson said.
Johnson noted the House passed a supplemental appropriations bill and said eight more appropriation bills are on the special order for Tuesday.
"These bills are high priority and need to be passed," Johnson said.
Rep. Steve Hurst, R-Munford, could not be reached for comment.

I went here after spending a few hours at the Bistro right down the street because I was told they had good food which was about the only good thing about this place I came to learn, the atmosphere was pretty lame, they pretty much brew in the middle of the restaurant with no glass or enclosed area, just right out in the open, lots of tables and a pretty small bar, place seemed a bit unsanitary to me and the bathrooms were pretty disgusting, glasses had residue around them, saw the bartender give somebody else a beer in a glass that looked half clean, service was terrible and they did not have near enough people working, they screwed up my food order and it took nearly an hour, beer selection was terrible and they only have their house brews along with Guinness, stay away from their beer as it is some of the worst I have had in quite some time, I ordered the pastrami sandwich which came with about a dozen tortilla chips instead of fries, there was two small sandwiches on rye instead of one big one, bill was over twenty bucks for a few samples, a pint, and a sandwich, I do not mind paying that when everything is at least decent tasting but that was not the case, I will never go back here even if I am at the Bistro and know it is one hundred yards away, worst place I visited in Northern California

It's been a while, so I'm going off of memory here.
I've been to Buffalo Bill's on two occasions. Both times I went with a buddy who has gone there many times, and had a good impression of the restaurant.
Atmosphere: On the first trip, we ate outside (it was warmer on that day). Typical metal outdoor chairs. Outdoor heaters for when it's colder (though I seem to remember them being on on that day, which was unnecessary). On the second trip, we ate inside. Just to the left of the entrance they have a pretty standard bar. Several smaller tables off to the right. Brewing equipment (supposedly the actual equipment used to make the beers, but I can't imagine that's true, for health reasons) towards the back, with the kitchen and restrooms just beyond that. Lights were slightly dim.
Service: Mixed bag here. On the first trip, the waitress was attentive and quite polite/nice. On the second trip, the waitress (different girl) was a little short, and seemed a little annoyed.
Selection: They don't have very many beers, but enough options to suit different tastes. Except, they don't have any sours. IIRC, they only serve their own beer. Then again, I wasn't interested in trying non-BB beers when I went, so...
I had the Imperial Pumpkin Ale on the first trip (very good!), and the Strawberry Blonde w/ Ginger (better than other strawberry blondes I've tried, but just decent) on the second.
Food: On the first go, had the apple sausage pizza, which was awesome! Thinly sliced apple and chicken sausage, with pesto sauce. I forget which pizza I went with on the second trip (jambalaya?), but it wasn't as good. Not bad, though.
Value: It was a little pricey, but not outrageously so.
Oh, and if anyone from BB's is reading this: Sell the Imperial Pumpkin at retail!!

This was definitely a Beer By BART location, being only four blocks from the station. Located near the corner of "B" Street and Foothill Blvd., they had an outdoor patio surrounded by a waist high wrought iron railing. Entering, the m.d.s. was straight ahead with the bar area up a short flight of steps along the left wall. A buffalo head was mounted above the back bar, leading me to wonder if I should pay in buffalo head pennies. Booth seating ran down the center line with tables and chairs along the right wall. Center and right aft, was the kitchen. Center and left, aft, was the brewhouse. For a relatively small place, they were really busy. Loads of growler sales. I had the Turkey and Provolone sandwich for lunch.
Beers: BUF Beer; Hayward Hefe; Tasmanian Devil; Ricochet Red: Alimony Ale; Johnny Midnite Oatmeal Stout; and Blueberry Oatmeal Stout. At least 3 quest taps - POR Organic Honey, Scrimshaw and Guinness.

I liked the atmosphere of this place. Nice people coming in for a lunch and beer. I went in January 2nd 2008 with my wife.
Our waitress was not very friendly but I did notice other waitresses to be very friendly, I think we just got a grumpy one, and that happens sometimes.
My wife and I both had ther IPA and it was not on the menu but I asked if they had an IPA. It was a decent IPA, not great, but very drinkable. I probalby should have tried one of there other beers but next time I will. Its a nice place with a decent bar. My wife did comment on the smell, she did not like it.
I would like to go back again and give this place a second chance and try more of there signature beers.

I went here as my first stop on my San Fran trip about a month ago. Went on a Thursday night and it wasnt too crowded but a decent amount of people.
The atmosphere felt like a sort of chain brewery like BJ's or something.
Service was ok. Nothing special and the selection of beers was ok with not a ton to offer. Their oatmeal stout was pretty good and the orange cream ale that they sell even at the grocery store down the street from where I live was just ok. Nothing special. I was dissapointed I coulnt get the pumpkin ale but I'll just buy it in so cal when its the season again.
If your in haward check it out for sure but there isn't a real good reason to go just for the beer. The pizza was pretty good though and the appetizers as well. A fun place to go though...

Hello Brenda –
I am a new subscriber to your podcast – now up to episode 11 or so, and loving it. I am delighted I found your show (through the twiceknit blog) and look forward to getting to know you, and your sweaters, over the next 40+ shows. I started with the most recent episode you posted (just to see if I'd like it ye know) and heard you talk about this dress. I'm sure I wasn't the only one to initially raise a brow at the pink-with-black-lace description – but WOW. This is one of those times when a picture just brings it all together. She is a stunning bride and just a vision of beauty and happiness,

Simply gorgeous! Your work looks amazing! The whole look is just fabulous. I'd love to know more about the hairpiece/fascinator. Wow… just beautiful. Congratulations, you've finished the dress. Now you can move on to new projects. That can be an unnerving and somewhat lonely time, but with your work on the blog, I'm sure you've not a minute to spare. Bella! Bella!

What a stunner that dress is – a true labour of love. Many many best wishes for the couple's happiness. That gal deserves a pair of Mrs. Beeton's in black and pink with some sparkly beads. Can you imagine always seeing black and pink and remembering your wedding day, dress and new MIL. How lovely.

Thank you Brenda, it was such a wonderful thing you did for her.
Love Always,
Lauras very proud & lucky Mam.

Coming to this months later as I'm catching up with podcasts … is the photo still around somewhere? After listening to episode 58 I'm all curious about the lace now!:-)
