This year's 1Mile Matters walk is led by formerly unhoused veterans housed by our Veterans Matter program. They want to fight for the homes for others…again. Join them and start your team now.
This video by our good friend Dave Yonke with Toledo Favs (Faith and Values) captured last years rain soaked walk. It let up midway and blessed us with a beautiful double rainbow at the end. Click here to see the video, and click above to join us this year.
What is 1Matters Tent City?
If you are new, here are some behind the scenes perspectives of the life changing impact.
Michele Ross is our friend in the Tent City video above. Kate Giammarise captured her story in this wonderful piece.
Our friend Sarah Ottney accurately penned this story in the Toledo Free Press.
Our friend Tom Henry described it perfectly as "Volunteers connect face-to-face with the homeless through music, coffee, and outreach programs from free haircuts to free medical exams."
Want to educate your students? Jenifer Christiaanse brought 18 or so students down to spend the night in order to teach them the harder life lessons only discomfort can teach.
For us, the volunteer leadership who spend the weekend, Jenifer and her group are heroes not only for coming down, but for the commitment to stay when other groups left after the Levee breaks.
Whether you are a leader, thinker, doer, or donor, we want YOU to help us change the world, 1 at a time.
Feel called to help or need more info? You can either email us, call us, or come to any planning meeting.
Here is a Preview of what a Tent City Weekend looks like:
PLEASE Help Get the Word Out – The Solution is Community Collaboration Leverage
You can change lives too. Please link our videos EVERYWHERE you can. Your Facebook, Twitter, Websites, Everywhere that Matters.
To help others see what you see, you can also play the videos in your class, youth group, church, fraternal organization or any other group!
We believe even 1 child, 1 family, or 1 individual living in a car, on a street, or in a shelter is 1 to many. Every 1 Matters! Right? Right!
Who cares? Our Tent City – Project Connect partners include : Every progressive shelter and service provider, Mercy Health Partners*, Promedica Health System, Cherry Street Mission Ministries*, Mildred Bayer Clinic for the Homeless*, the Veterans Administration*, United Way*, Food For Thought, ADAMS House, First Solar, ABLE*, The Anderson's, City of Toledo Police*, Fire* and Administration*, Toledo City Council*, Toledo Mayor's Office*, Toledo departments of Parks & Recreation and Neighborhoods*, Lucas County Sheriff*, Lucas County Commissioners*, all suburban fire stations, nearly all of the local media*, local music scene*, 30 plus restaurants, and more.
Partners denoted by an asterisk (*) have been with us for all 24 years!
Among the services provided by these collaborations are basic medical and dental care, medical testing and screening, information to find readily available housing for homeless youths, veterans services, jobs, housing, food and clothing, meals, critical documents, legal aid, haircuts, showers, smoke detectors, blankets, personal care kits, auto repair, and on-site child care enabling parents to access our services. (One of the coolest is the haircuts! People come out beaming and an inch taller.)
Tent City is this remarkable life changing experience for both guests and volunteers.
Seriously, join us.
Dignity 1st – 1Matters
This is our finite, single focus; everything else flows from this. Dignity First!
In point of fact, we have no "clients," as such. From the moment our treasured "guests" get to the Project Connect, they meet their volunteer personal guides who identify and escort them to the services needed, every single contact with the guest is uplifting and designed to make them know they matter, that every 1 matters!
Perhaps most importantly, 1Matters Tent City and Project Connect has had powerful, emotional, lasting impacts on guests, volunteers and service providers. We have seen guests in tears of gratitude, volunteers shocked yet enlightened upon seeing poverty for the first time, and even jaded case managers refreshed with the focus on the customer FIRST. One case manager with 20 years of service came up to us and said, "Thank you for reminding me why I got into this business in the first place."
We believe this with all our heart: even 1 child, 1 family, or 1 individual living in any car, on any street, and in any shelter is 1 too many.
If you feel called to this movement of compassion, this momentum, and want to help, lead, give, partner, or sponsor, just come to a meeting, call us, or emails us. We will help you answer that call.

One month after flooding damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes in Central Texas, a benefit concert is underway to spotlight the victims who are still struggling to recover.
These type of events have helped the Austin Relief Alliance raise over $100 thousand for flood victims so far.
John Santos says his family is fortunate, others lost everything.
At a time like this, he wants his children to know the meaning of giving back and supporting those in need.
"It's an important lesson, not just talking but showing them. There's other things to do but coming out and walking the walk and getting them involved, I think it's a really important message for our kids," says John Santos, benefit concert attendee.
After the devastating floods, there was a need for a more organized effort in raising funds.
That's when the Austin Relief Alliance was formed.
By holding events like this and help from the community, their goal is to raise $250 thousand.
"We're talking about literally buying out the homes and letting those folks move to a neighborhood that's out of the floodplain, and safer. We're talking about over 60 million dollars. That's what we're talking about in terms of need," says Councilman Mike Martinez, City of Austin.
Dozens of businesses and people have generously donated their time to make this all possible.
Paul Mitchell the School was giving haircuts and styles on-site, with all of the proceeds going to flood victims.
"The community always supports us as a business, Paul Mitchell the School and New Talent Focus Salon. When our community is hurting and in need, we want to be able to give back to our community," says Laura Valdez, Paul Mitchell the School, owner.
Over one thousand homes were affected by the floods, 434 of them were in Dove Springs.
The neighborhood knows it will be a long road to recovery.
"Some people need sheet-rock, some need insulation, some need paint, some need tile, some need doors and hinges. All the doors in the houses were thrown out. So all the stoves, all that stuff was discarded. As soon as houses start getting back together, we're going to have a new need," says Edward Reyes, Dove Springs Neighborhood Association, president.
That's where funding will be used to get them back on their feet.
The event lasts until 9 o'clock Sunday and it's $5 for entry.
Some of proceeds will be distributed to other non-profits who are helping in the effort, like Habitat for Humanity, and the rest will go directly to the victims.

Jacksonville Defeats FAU In Key TAAC Match
October 16, 1999
Jacksonville, Fla. - Jacksonville University (7-6, 4-2) built a two goal lead and held on to defeat Florida Atlantic (2-6-1, 2-3-1) by the score of 2-1 in women's soccer action here Sunday afternoon. With the victory, the Dolphins took over sole possession of third place in the Trans America Athletic Conference with three league matches to be played.
Sophomore Trine Riis Groven opened the scoring for the Dolphins at the 16:21 mark when she headed home a cross from junior Dianne Scott. Jacksonville was unable to capitalize on several opportunities over the next 25 minutes of play, until junior Marit Foss beat the Owls' goalkeeper from approximately 30 yards out with only 1:04 left in the half. Groven picked up the assist on Foss' goal.
Leading 2-0 throughout most of the second half, the Dolphins again missed several chances to put the game away, eventually out-shooting FAU by a 21 to seven margin. The Owls took advantage of Jacksonville's inability to close the door at the 86:34 mark on a goal of a set-piece. Standing over a free-kick from just over 40 yards out, junior Tracey Drost played a bending ball into the JU goal area, and senior Tara O'Brien headed it past the Dolphins' goalkeeper. The final four minutes of action was back-and-forth as FAU's comeback bid fell just short.
Jacksonville freshman goalkeeper Kristen Kirsch made two big plays in the second half for the Dolphins, posting two saves in the match and allowing JU to preserve the victory. Senior Tabitha Price made five saves for the Owls.
The Dolphins will return to action at the Ashley Sports Complex on Monday, October 18th at 3:00 when they host non-conference East Carolina (8-2) in their final home match of the season.

Qt and Nokia, the bigger plan?
So, it has been announced that Nokia is to adopt Qt as its preferred toolkit for the next-but-one iteration of the Maemo platform, Harmattan. This has stirred up a little developer concern as GTK and C developers contemplate switching to Qt and C++ but is this really warranted? and what are Nokia's reasons for the switch? Well, it seems that Nokia has no other choice if it wants to continue to compete in a very different world from the one it has dominated for the past several years and here's why.
Call for Content, a Reminder
The 2009 Maemo Summit call for content has been open now for a few weeks and we have been receiving some good suggestions but we need more!
Currently Dave Neary, Valério Valério and myself have been going over the submissions, ironing out the details and approving (mostly) the talks but the schedule still has plenty room for more. If you have a suggestion for a cool talk, a lightning session or would like to speak but need help, then make yourself heard now!
Make a suggestion with your subject being pitched to either Users, App Developers, or Platform Developers. It doesn't have to be a full 25 minute talk, it can also be a 5 minute Lightning session.
So what are you waiting for?
Speed test
It seems all the cool kids are doing it so here's mine, results from SpeedTest.net.
Fear, uncertainty, doubt (FUD)
(EDIT: planet.maemo.org I apologize for the seemingly personal post but it has other connotations, honest).
It would be a little pompous of me to say, today we should all be living in a fearful community where as part of the employed masses, we should contemplate our job futures. But with the same token it would predominately be true. Every day it seems we are bombarded with news that company x, multi-conglomerate y, is venting a whole host of talent that are shell shocked at being relieved of their livelihood. A whole host of talent seemingly gone to short-term waste and although we are sympathetic, its a little 'off the radar'.
Where will a new Maemo device fit in today?
All the talk (and sometimes ranting) about Nokia's so called next tablet got me thinking about the state of the potential market for a device like this today.
First lets go on a trip down memory lane.
Nokia released their first Internet Tablet towards the end of 2005. It was announced at the LinuxWorld Summit earlier that year and was a curious device. Not quite a phone and not quite a laptop, the 770 came before the current wave of netbooks had begun descending upon us and was met with some resistance. Many complained about its apparent slowness, but looking beyond this one could see that it had potential.
The N800 came next at the beginning of 2007 to a better reception. A faster processor, more memory and greater expandability meant that the adoption rate was much higher for this device. An improved N810 came later that year which added a keyboard and GPS but by this time other devices had joined or were about to join the party.
Elephants in the Corner
June 29th 2007 saw the release of the Apple iPhone. With its tablet like dimensions and pretty UI, Apples juggernaut redefined the mobile web experience. In contrast, Nokia's tablet seemed somewhat pedestrian. Whist the Maemo based device gained a small community of devoted followers, the iPhone market exploded.
Now lets get this straight, the iPhone isn't a direct comparison to the Nokia tablet; they do different things but where they overlap is in the core activities of the devices and this means they are competitors. Sales figures and blogs alike prove that the iPhone was hurting Nokia's tablet sales.
Towards the end of 2007 saw another behemoth enter this space, namely Google with their Android platform. Arguably more of a competitor than Apple, Android is designed to run on a plethora of hardware from phones to netbooks. It has since seen a wide adoption rate with many manufacturers promising or postulating on bring out devices of their own.
A little later came the netbook revolution. Cheap and small sub-notebooks with small screens and even smaller storage designed to browse the web among other things. Two things happened in respect to Nokia's Internet Tablets when this happened, one, Nokia now had a serious problem price-wise. These netbooks are cheap, typically well under £200 ($320) which put doubt to Nokia's £300 launch price for the N810 (it has now dropped below £200 but only because of its impending successor). The second thing that should set the warning bells off at Nokia's headquarters is the value for money aspect. Consider this. Joe user, which I'm sure Nokia would love to sell their hardware to, walks into an electronics shop with £300 in his pocket. Does he buy the 'mini-laptop' with 10″ screen, 40GB SSD, 90% size keyboard and all the bells and whistles you could ask for or a nice little 'Internet Tablet' that runs a quirky Linux OS, a small amount of storage and a 4.1″ screen? You could argue that they serve different markets but again, the use of such devices overlaps so much its hard to dismiss these as a serious threat to the Internet Tablet.
Worried Yet?
This alone should have Nokia worried without even mentioning the likes of the iPod Touch (maybe a better comparison?), Moblin's recent efforts in conjunction with Intel, Canonical's (the guys funding Ubuntu) efforts with their netbook remix designed for mobile hardware, and maybe even a smudging of the Palm Pre that just screams to be put on hardware outside of the phone space. Nokia's next tablet enters a very different environment from the one it pioneered in 2005.
Reading Between the 'Leaked" Lines
There is a lot of talk following the 'leaked' information detailing the next Nokia tablet. Most of this information you would already know if you followed last years Maemo Summit coverage but here for completeness is the list in full:
Dimensions: 59.7mmx111mmx18.2mm
Weight: 180g
3.5″ 800×480 (WVGA) touchscreen
OMAP3430 500/600 Mhz processor (Fun Trivia: Same CPU as the Palm Pre)
Bands: GSM Quad-Band 850, 900, 1800, 1900. WCDMA 900, 1700/2100, 2100
5 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera with dual-LED flash, autofocus, and sliding cover
Though the renders we've seen show two lens-like circles near the screen, we've got no word on what's behind them. However, we feel safe in assuming that its a proximity sensor and a front-facing camera.
1GB total virtual runtime memory (256MB physical RAM, 768MB virtual memory)
Wi-Fi, HSPA
32GB internal storage, expandable up to 48GB via external memory
Keyboard variants: English, Scandinavian, French, German, South European, Italian, Russia
In the box: Connectivity cable, headset, charger, battery (1320 mAh), Video-out cable, microUSB adaptor, cleaning cloth
There are a few surprises there though, one of which is the mention of a change in screen size. Some have argued quite vehemently that a smaller screen will turn them away from the device but it has to be noted that the iPhone uses a similar sized screen and others in Nokia's smart phone line-up do aswell.
Another thing that was a little surprise was the inclusion of a 5 megapixel camera, previously a 8 megapixel had been promised but obviously something changed since then.
All in all the new specs indicate that the device will be very similar in size to an Android G1 albeit with a slightly bigger screen (3.5 inches as apposed to the G1′s 3.2 inch) and very similar to Nokia's own N97. So are we just seeing the Linux/Maemo version of the N97?
How can it Succeed?
Well, this is a tough question. Obviously Nokia are pretty excited about this device which indicates they have something up their sleeve yet to show us. But with the impending new device from Apple widely touted to arrive July, new Android based devices on the horizon along with version 2.0 of the software, and new netbooks being released daily it seems, how can the Maemo 5 based tablet make its mark in an already impressive market?
Well the hardware specifications don't hint at anything special so it seems we are relying on Nokia to release some exceeding good software to go along with it. Software that makes this device compelling to buy, makes the consumer want this over what the competition has to offer, and keeps evolving to meet the ever demanding needs we as consumers are placing on the mobile industry. Most importantly, will the new Maemo device succeed or become the last in a line of good, but not quite good enough mobile devices?
I guess only time will tell.
oFono – The future of Maemo and a few predictions
A few days ago Intel and Nokia announced that they are collaborating on an initiative to develop what seems to be an open source telephony platform named oFono. This raises a lot of questions, Why are Nokia helping to develop another open platform when they have Maemo and the newly opened Symbian OS to contend with? Why are Intel interested in anything in the open source world outside of Moblin and their netbook strategy? And in the face of the ever expanding world of Android, what does this mean for Maemo?
Well, the future isn't exactly clear but it could mean a boost for Maemo. Exactly why is clouded in mystery somewhat.
Lets be clear, oFono isn't a new operating system, it is an initiative to develop telephony solutions in an open manner. From the oFono.org about page:
oFono.org is a place to bring developers together around designing an infrastructure for building mobile telephony (GSM/UMTS) applications. oFono.org is licensed under GPLv2, and it includes a high-level D-Bus API for use by telephony applications of any license. oFono.org also includes a low-level plug-in API for integrating with open source as well as third party telephony stacks, cellular modems and storage back-ends. The plug-in API functionality is modeled on public standards, in particular 3GPP TS 27.007 "AT command set for User Equipment (UE)."
OK, with that out of the way, what does this mean for Nokia, Intel and Maemo?
Traditionally Maemo has had nothing to do with telephony outside of implementing 'everything but the phone'. The internet tablets have GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, in fact one of the most common questions I get asked when I'm in public with the Internet tablet is, "what kind of phone is that?". But with the new collaboration between Intel and Nokia there is a consensus that maybe, just maybe, the drive between the two companies could produce something special.
But the something special part is what is currently under debate. Intel are primarily a chip designer and producer. Although they have many fingers in many pies they signaled their intent by backing Moblin, a project, from their own website, described as an initiate to produce an operating system for "netbooks, MIDs, and automotive". What does this have to do with Nokia's Symbian phone software or their Internet tablet software? Exactly nothing. So where do the two companies potentially overlap?
Well, with a little give and take they could be shoe-horned into one other. Nokia's internet tablet could be considered too small for a netbook but with a couple of inches screen real-estate and a better keyboard could be considered a reasonable netbook? Moblin's OS on stripped down internet table hardware in the dashboard of you next car purchase? The heavy-weight status of Intel behind Nokia's struggling platform ensuring a rosier future for both? Lots of questions without a lot of answers at the moment.
A Bright Future?
In the undertones of the Nokia community they see the potential. A car based solution called Canola is the perfect solution for many a car journey. It's just waiting to be picked up by the likes of Ford or Audi. Nokia's strides with Maemo 5 and an OpenGL ES/Clutter based interface would be wonderful on a netbook or MID. Nokia's experience with the ever present Symbian OS gives them a huge share of the market already familiar with what they have to offer. So what is the answer and is there such an answer in existence yet?
Here are a few bold statements. If they are wrong then its a case of 2 + 2 = 5, if they are right, and I suspect there is a lot of truth underlining this here, then a clever connection of the dots has already spelled it out. So what will happen to Nokia and Intel's foray into the telephany, MID, automotive, internet tablet, and netbook arenas?
Here are LinuxUK's predictions.
1) Nokia release Maemo 5 on OMAP 3 hardware. Slide out keyboard and slightly smaller but clearer screen. Clutter based interface is an instant success as Nokia demonstrate the power of 3D effects on a small but very functional device. HSPA interface is first treated with contempt as people are tied into a contract with no phone services. Nokia brag about Skype and hope the concerns go away. Camera is amazing BTW.
2) Nokia soon after announce Symbian and Maemo live happily together. Based off of their efforts with QT, they bring cross-platform to a thorny beginning with apps designed for both targets.
3) Nokia announce a partnership with a major car manufacturer to produce in-car entertainment devices using Intel based chips. Appeasing both Moblin and Maemo camps, announces that its an open platform for both parties. Open source car tech, wow!
4) Meanwhile, Intel announces a MID based on its own hardware but utilizing hildon and various parts of Maemo software. oFono telephony software slips into the MID form factor.
5) Nokia announce, in partnership with Intel, they are looking at bringing telephony to their Maemo platform. Early adopters of the Maemo 5 based hardware rejoice. They may get a phone after-all.
6) Telephony stack is ported to Maemo 5 hardware, Intel and Nokia bring out a sexy phone, much sexier than the internet tablets based on Maemo, for the masses. Internet tablet users convince themselves they bought their tablet because it didn't have a phone but quietly admire the new device.
7) Android, looks on in disgust, quietly scared.
8) …?
I believe the the major clout of Android and Google means that they believe they will win the phone OS war. In their targets are iPhone, Blackberry and the act of converting the dumb-phone Nokia users into smart phone users. For Nokia's sake, I hope they are wrong. I truely hope Nokia and Intel can combine to produce a platform to rival Android. Yes, internet tablets are cool, but they don't sell units. Shifting units is what is going to win this war. Lets not forget <a href="http://www.limofoundation.org/"LiMo. An effort to bring an open source operating system to phone users. I would bet my bottom pound that most LiMo users have never hear of, let alone read the GPL.
There is a fear that Nokia will die in the age of the smart phone although Nokia has been producing smart phones for longer than any competitor. I hope for Nokia's sake that their foray into open source, namely Maemo, combines with Intel to bring them out the other side firmly holding an open source phone/tablet to rival Apples and Google's emerging dominance.
Update: It seems that Intel is indeed looking at the mobile space as a way of expanding its business model. A post on UMPC portal has good commentary on Intels road map which has just been leaked (Intel even use pictures of Nokia's phones in the material).
Trim trailing spaces in GEdit
One item from the list of good coding standards which always seems to catch me out is that lines of code shouldn't have trailing white space. Some editors offer functionality to prevent this, GEdit doesn't by default. A quick search took me to a page of plugin's including the 'trailsave' plugin. When enabled, this plugin trims off all white space from the end of lines; exactly what I want. One small gripe is that it trims off the last line of a file if it is empty, not ideal.
In the spirit of open source, I modified the code slightly and you can now get the remove-trailing-white-space-but-not-the-last-blank-line plugin from here.
Unpack the two files into your ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins directory (create one if its not there) and start up GEdit. Select 'Plugins' from the Edit->Preferences menu and enable the "Save without trailing space' plugin from that menu.
Recent Reading – March/April
Ok, as promised I'm trying to read more. Here is the list for the last two months reading.
1. Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell
Well, as this is one of the most read (and often lied about being read) books I though I should take a look. A tour-de-force of writing skills that paints an amazing picture of a bleak future (for the time). A book that you must read but don't expect sweetness and light. Starts off good, lulls a little in the middle and finishes with a strong surge. The last few pages left me a little wanting at the time but on reflection, they did exactly what they were supposed to do.
2. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
I started this with little expectation and despite the books simple message; successful people are the ones born with quite a bit of intelligence, work extremely hard and have some extraordinary breaks in life, I really liked this. Written well with a good if steady pace, another book I'd recommend.
3.The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and Reg Keeland
Well, this book has got a good reputation and without knowing anything about it I though I would pick it up based on that. For me, its slow to start and I admit that at times, I lost track of the various characters names as the story unfolded but the final third of the book had me hooked.
4.The Undercover Scientist: Investigating the Mishaps of Everyday Life by Peter J. Bentley
This book caught me by surprise. Another one that I had no idea about before I picked it up but it wasn't what I expected. The book is written as a day in the life of an unfortunate person who has his unfair share of problems. Where the science comes in is in the explanation of what is actually going on in each of these scenes. A lot of the science behind this I already knew, but being in the science field already its to be expected. All in all an entertaining read in a format that makes you smile once in a while.
5.Bell labs, the jewel in the crown by Narain Gehani
I don't like to criticize books too much so I'll leave it at dry, dry, dry; avoid.
220.127.116.11. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer
Now a 30 year old man and teenage vampire/werewolf romance saga's don't usually go together but I can honestly say I'm unashamed in liking every one of these books. I started the 4 four books wanting to know what all the hype was about, I didn't manage to put them down until all four books were read, cover to cover. A great tale that appeals to all ages although I do feel I'm well in touch with my teenage girly side For the sceptical (like I was) read twilight and I dare you not to read the other 3 books (breaking dawn was my favorite BTW but probably because there's more action in it than the others).
10. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray
Umm, ah, I .., ah shit, read it because the other half recommended I should read it. As always, she got it wrong Terribly obvious and utterly boring book. Before I get flogged by the feminists that say all men should read it, I did read it, assimilated the contents, rolled over and farted after drinking a beer. OK (it was entertaining at times though I admit).
Jaunty Released
It seems Jaunty has hit the Canonical servers now.
Go get it!
Royal Mail now deliver curries!
This is what the postman brought me today at work, a Mas Parental Curry Pack from Rafi's Spicebox. I've heard about Rafi's before from a few friends and being the curry fan that I am, I decided to try it.
Rafi's basically do all the hard work for you, adding the spices, chopping the chilli's e.t.c, all you have to do is add the meat and any other ingredients that you want. This particular curry bag requires some coconut cream and chopped tomatoes too.
Mmm, now to get home and cook it!

I was bullied in primary school and junior high because I was a skinny nerd in schools on military bases. Then Dad died and I was moved to an all white school in Virginia in 1961. There I was bullied because I was a skinny nerd who could not be silent about the horror of racism I saw and heard in school. I was beaten.
As a doctor, I heard a million bully stories of so many kinds, so much hurt. Recently I gave two talks in a county suffering from an epidemic of bullying. I have revisited my growing up being bullied these last two months and studied these three current sources:
I realized that I want to get involved nationally, even internationally, to stop these nightmares of our children. I will contact the Bully Project and see what I can do. Maybe it can be a wedge to push teaching the intelligence of loving in K-12—more important than mathematics, 1 hour/day—5 days/week for 13 years. Maybe I can connect with Lady Gaga, who is a spokesperson against bullying and we can creatively approach young and old alike. You reading this…make your commitment and be an instrument to stop bullying, at least study the three resources above. Love all people.
Yesterday I was in Chicago for the big protest against NATO. We marched for peace and justice for all people, with all the country's Occupy movements; my friends, Code Pink, so many from so many organizations (Yay! Food Not Bombs and Free Bradley Manning, National Nurses United and so many more). All desiring to have everyone cared for and nature, too. I saw a very small group present all dressed in solid black with black masks, called the "Black Block". I heard them chant "fuck the cops" and I felt that even peace marches have bullies. I wondered what part of peace and justice "fuck the cops" is? I talked with them and they didn't see the contradictions. For many, I could feel their probable disappointment if they didn't get to "fuck the cops" before the day was over. At no other time during the preparation did I see any other intent to do violence. The long 2 mile march of many thousands also produced no violence. All the while the police were suited up in bulky black riot gear and stood rigid with a stern look that was so severe that it looked comical to me. I clowned extremely, the entire walk—next to hundreds of police—I saw no act of aggression. Only two broke a smile on the entire course—I was using the "triple threat" (Cheek spreader, Billy Bob teeth and snot)—I had the worst clown record I'd had in 50 years. So here was a place for bullies in protecting the dangerous perpetrators in NATO. It was obvious that some couldn't wait to hit a marcher. Funny how the media blows up these two bully groups instead of the amazing multitude showing peace and love. I want a world where no one could conceive of hurting each other.

Its probably worth noting if you didn't already see the fan post that Youtube features the entire untelevised undercard for the PPV, which means that pretty much the entire show will be available legally after the fact minus the Mike Jones' decision victory.

Anyone who fully understands the rules for this years Supplemental Draft raise their hand?
The rule for this years Supplemental Draft seem to be chainging each day, like the silly circus about whether Terrelle Pryor was elligable or not. I posted around a week ago how the Supplemental Draft works by dividing the teams into 3 groups, the 3rd group being all playoff teams, the 1st group being the teams with 6 wins or less, and the 2nd group being the other theams that didn't make the playoffs. Then a couple of days ago it was reported that the 1st groups make up had been changed, and the panthers could now draft no lower than 5th in each round when the round by round draft order is drawn.
The draft positions in each round will be drawn today (Sunday), but it's now reported by nfldraftscout.com' Rob Rang that these draft position will not be given to the teams until only 30 minutes before the draft starts on Monday! Here is the link.
The draft will be conducted as usual by e-mail, with each round limited to only 10 minutes. The teams must e-mail if they wish to draft a player, if multiple teams select a player in the same round, that player will be awarded to the team with the lowest number draft spot in that round.

Cave Hill Heritage Foundation
The purpose of the Cave Hill Heritage Foundation is to secure funding for the long-term preservation of this unique cemetery.

Welcome to Cave Hill Cemetery
Chartered by the General Assembly of Kentucky on February 5,1848 for the purpose of operating a rural cemetery. Cave Hill was dedicated in July of that year and the transition of Cave Hill Farm into a beautiful and historic cemetery began.
Like any pioneer, when William Johnston decided to build a brick house in the countryside of the fledging town of Louisville, he first searched for a good spring. He found one that helped feed Beargrass Creek, emanating from a large cave that kept it well protected.

Last July, when we were preparing for our trip to Israel, I called Citizens Bank and asked this simple question: "What is the least expensive way for me to get Israeli sheqels out of my Citizens Bank checking account?"
In response, the customer service representative told me the following:
- The fee for withdrawing currency from an ATM in Israel is 2%.
- The fee for exchanging currency at a bank branch is waived because I am a "Citizens Gold" customer, so this is cheaper than using an ATM in Israel.
Unfortunately all of this is incorrect:
- The fee for withdrawing currency from an ATM in Israel is actually 3%, not 2%.
- While the "exchange fee" is indeed waived for Citizens Gold customers, the bank charges a hidden fee by marking up the exchange rate by around 10%, so in fact exchanging currency at a bank branch costs 7% more, and is thus 233% more expensive, than using an ATM.

I'm Not the Guy Who Just Died, Duluth Lawyer Says in Obit Ad
Posted Aug 26, 2011 10:51 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
There are two lawyers named Robert Kaner who attended the University of Minnesota law school, but only one of them is dead.
Duluth lawyer Robert M. Kaner, 63, wants clients and friends to know he's the one still alive, the Duluth News Tribune reports. Toward that end, he paid for an advertisement in the newspaper's obituary section on Wednesday proclaiming that he is "alive and well."
Kaner took out the ad after an obituary ran in the Tuesday paper for Robert L. Kaner, 67, a distant relative, the story says. Both Kaners went to the same law school, both are single, both grew up in the area, and both practiced in the Duluth public defender's office early in their careers. Robert L. Kaner went on to practice law in Minneapolis.
"I received many calls from concerned friends and clients expressing concern that I had died," Kaner told the newspaper. "All those calls from concerned clients and friends led me to believe I should announce that I am alive and still practicing law in Duluth."
Kaner's ad thanks those who called him and expresses condolences to the family of the other Robert Kaner.

Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden
Perhaps emboldened by near-instant sellouts of the area gigs he'd already announced, living legend and New York icon Billy Joel will play what used to be called a residency at Madison Square Garden (they're saying they've turned the man into a "franchise"), performing a show a month as long as people keep showing up.

Robin Thicke at Rumsey Playfield, Central Park
Sure, Alan Thicke's son overcame any musical growing pains to have the song of the summer in 2013, the ubiquitous "Blurred Lines" (its racy video didn't hurt sales, nor help fend off allegations of misogyny).

Ian Hunter at The Bell House
If he had just written "All the Way from Memphis" and sung "All the Young Dudes" while fronting Mott the Hoople, it would have been enough.

Lorde at Pier 97 and United Palace Theater

Accept at The Gramercy Theatre
This German outfit might be in the mix for second most successful heavy-metal band to hail from Deutschland (no one touches the Scorpions).

The Rentals at Irving Plaza
Original Weezer bassist Matt Sharp's other big project, The Rentals, had a surprise 1995 hit in "Friends of P," whose sound, much like the rest of debut album Return of the Rentals, was defined by heavy distortion, thick synthesizers, strings and male/female harmonies. The band's releases since then have gone off in a few other directions, but the material released thus far from new LP Lost in Alphaville suggests the band has gone back to the formula that originally charmed its fans. For tickets, visit livenation.com.

For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
September 29–30
The Raveonettes at Music Hall of Williamsburg
As their seven studio albums can attest, Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner are adept practitioners of what you might call "surf noir"—the kind of noisy rock 'n' roll that goes well with catching a wave, on a moonless night, while wearing a midnight-black wetsuit to match the dark and mysterious sea. For tickets to the show on the 29th, visit ticketmaster.com here; for the show on the 30th, visit ticketmaster.com here.

October 8
Limp Bizkit at Best Buy Theater
The backward-hat-and-scary-mask-wearing poster boys for the angry late- 1990s rap rock that suburban kids loved—responsible for such lyrics as "give me something to break/how 'bout your [expletive] face"—return to the New York City stage. For tickets, visit axs.com.
October 9
Judas Priest at Barclays Center
The kings of twin-guitar heavy metal probably aren't the only band to have a seemingly irreplaceable lead singer (Rob Halford) depart, be replaced by a singer from a tribute band (Ripper Owens, of the Priest cover group British Steel) and then have that former vocalist return to the fold. Just the best. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.

Most pregnant women find too much to worry about and if you're e one of those, this might be encouraging. At least you don't have to worry that all that worry could have a negative effect on the baby.
Researchers at the University of Texas say pregnant women can breathe a sigh of relief. That a review of fifty studies finds that anxiety did not impact a baby's delivery date, birth weight, or the apgar score. Which is what rates the general health of a new born.
"Knowing the anxiety related to pregnancy is normal and knowing that it's not going to affect the outcome of pregnancy is an important thing," said Dr. Amy Murtha, of Maternal Fetal Medicine.
Researchers also found the amount of anxiety had no affect on the length of labor or the amount of pain medicine a women needed. So, the take home message is that mothers to be can at least relax that their nervousness about delivery is not going to make it worse.

KC Joyner: 10 reasons why Robert Griffin III could be drafted No. 1
Reason No. 3: RG3 had better stats when not throwing to his top target Some have argued that the reason Griffin III had better downfield numbers is because he was able to throw to Kendall Wright, a speed merchant whom Mel Kiper and Todd McShay both have listed as a late first-rounder in their most recent mock drafts. The issue in taking this tack is that Griffin III actually had better vertical numbers when throwing to someone other than Wright last year. RG3's vertical numbers on passes to Wright: 45 targets, 693 yards, 15.4 vertical YPA (VYPA) RG3's vertical numbers on passes to other players: 70 targets, 1,146 yards, 16.4 VYPA Luck was the exact opposite in that his vertical totals dropped off dramatically when not throwing to his best vertical target (tight end Coby Fleener).

So, will Rooney Mara usher the Hot Topic look back in vogue with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"? Certainly we'll have to see, but with the glamor shots she's doing in addition to the movie stills, Mara is certainly selling bleach blonde eyebrows as a new look this fall.
The folks over at Fincher Fanatic have clued us into a new spread of pics over at Le Monde at the film's high fashion downer vibe. And no wonder they look so good. They're taken by famed photographer and music video director Jean-Baptiste Mondino (who has worked with Madonna, David Bowie and Tom Waits among others, enough said), but what's the deal with all the snow? Well David Fincher has an answer to that, and talking to Empire (print edition, not online) he reveals it will play a crucial part in the final one-sheet for the movie.
"There's a Swedish proverb that we'll use for the final poster: 'What is hidden in snow comes forth in the thaw.' The one that's on there now, 'Evil shall with evil be expelled,' is a Swedish proverb as well," he explained. "And when you start to look at Swedish proverbs and how uncompromising they are, you realize what Stieg Larsson was on about. When you're a little kid and one of the cultural touchstones is, 'Evil shall with evil be expelled,' if that's what's under the surface, you can see where this Goth version of Pippi Longstocking came from."
There's no doubt that Fincher's vision is exacting, and while that attitude may put some people off, Mara welcomes it. He's no tyrant she says, "But I think he's painted that way. It's bullshit. I think the thing is that he doesn't care what people think about him. Fuck them. It doesn't matter. I think maybe where it comes from is that David is one of the rare people in this business who actually, really, really cares and believes what he's doing and he's unwilling to compromise. And generally, he's always right."
"He's always right. It's so frustrating! Every time I'm right, I'm like, 'YESSSSSS!" she adds.
The movie has also been receiving some additional buzz as many believe it will be the secret screening at the New York Film Festival on Monday. But our sources tell us Fincher won't be making a return trip to NYFF this year, so you'll have to turn your speculation elsewhere. So along with everybody else, we'll be waiting until December 21st when "The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo" hits theaters.
JD | December 17, 2011 3:02 AM
It's a movie, Fred, argg, liz and other morons. It might actually be good, or not. Why waste your time typing until you see it
Liz | October 20, 2011 5:15 AM
The original Swedish trilogy cannot be outdone. This actress is a very poor choice for the lead role here for a myriad of reason evident in all the characters she has already played. Bought her way into this picture-probably bank rolled it too. Please!!
Jess | October 9, 2011 11:06 AM
Its sad because even when this movie turns out to be awesome, the constant complainers will still maintain some grudge towards it. Quit the griping or rather find new things to complain about already!
I love the coverage The Playlist is giving this, and I couldn't be more excited for Christmas!
jingmei | October 9, 2011 6:06 AM
This potrait is damn cool. David Fincher is damn awesome.
anggg | October 8, 2011 10:17 AM
*deep breath* The question is, why do people follow blogs like this if they don't like nonstop movie promotion? That aside, you guys do know Lisbeth Salander isn't real, right? No Rooney Mara is not Lisbeth. Neither is Noomi Rapace. They are actresses playing a character. Mara is promoting a movie. Lisbeth Salander is not. They're showing off her look; her piercings, tattoos, makeup. The tattoo, for instance, is exactly why she has no shirt on. No one's saying the real Lisbeth Salander is posing for naked pics, just as the real Lisbeth Salander probably wouldn't let Steig Larsson write about her getting raped in graphic detail. Nor is it likely she would pose for any pictures to promote a movie about her. It's called make-believe.
Alix | October 8, 2011 8:34 AM
So now between all the different trailers, short, international, 2 minutes, 8 minutes the making of, the music and so on we have seen the whole thing, and it isn't much different from the others! Ans stop pushing Mara as the next coming because she is not Lisbeth. I was interested at first but now I am so sick of her face and of this non-stop promotion that I am done with it.
WTF | October 8, 2011 5:38 AM
Another naked shot of Rooney Mara playing a character who actually says she does not like being naked because she has issues with her body...oh and she undergoes 6 hours of brutal rape. Love that Daniel Craig has no nude shots still and is always covered in three layers of clothing. This is not sexist at all, nope not at all.
ddd | October 8, 2011 5:03 AM
Agree with Fred 100%.
And Kent, the studio has so far claimed none of those things.
KENT | October 8, 2011 3:28 AM
Honestly, I am disgusted with this pushy promotion.
Stadio claims;
Rooney Mara is so cool, isn't she?
Rooney Mara as Lisbeth is so amazing, isn't she?
Rooney Mara deserves Oscar, doesn't she?
I cannot but say that I was excited at the 8-minute trailer. However, the exaggerated praise to a critic's Mara quenched my passion.
Mediocre | October 8, 2011 1:30 AM
This is The Mediocre speaking
The orig sweedish trilogy was the most AMAZING sweed TRIL ever. I'm going to bitch out and hate on fucking FINCHER and his hollywoodiseation of good sweed underground filmmaking.
I'm going to shit internet shit all over his baby every time I see a pic or a clip on the interweb. I'll never even see the full movie because why would I, I know he's incap able of making good shitz!!!!!
So I'm just gonna keep bitching and shitting all over this movie sight unseen.
Fred | October 8, 2011 1:05 AM
In other news today, gauche fellatio references and hilarious ideas of what constitutes "underground" highlight a weak-stream piss attempt on far better cinema in defense of mediocrity.
Glass | October 7, 2011 11:40 AM
People who insist the Swedish film trilogy is great are hilarious. They're not terrible films at all, but boy, is there room for improvement.
Levi | October 7, 2011 11:25 AM
Amazing book, and what looks to be a fantastic film! Fincher is the man!
Kevin Jagernauth | October 7, 2011 10:59 AM
My knees are fine, but my mouth is killing me....
Ungaro | October 7, 2011 10:56 AM
I don't know what makes me more sick: The blowjob The Playlist is performing here, or Fincher putting his mainstream "I'm too cool for this world" bullshit all over Steig's masterpiece. Don't your knees get tired KJ? The Swedish movies kept the underground tone of the trilogy, but this bullshit is so damn pretentious; maybe even more so than Drive.
carrie | October 7, 2011 10:53 AM
she looks alike a model in goth pajanese fashion magazine
gonad | October 7, 2011 10:33 AM
There's no doubt Fincher is a shrewd man when it comes to marketing his movies. The mouth-taped-shut blog, Mondino photoshoots, Kellerhouse posters...

The emphasis of November's Checkup 13 is lung cancer.
It is the number one cancer killer of men and women in the United States, but the earlier the disease is found, the better your odds of survival.
During clinical pharmacist Scott Freeland's rounds at St. Vincent, he sees the sickest of the sick, patients facing organ failure and transplant and it made him worry.
"Just seeing people that are sick, their story is my story, so it could be me that has the same thing that they have and my story may be worse than theirs," Freeland said.
He knew he was at risk for lung cancer, growing up breathing in second-hand smoke, then smoking himself for eight years. Though he had no symptoms, he signed up for a screening.
"I had a CAT scan, a CT scan of my lungs," Freeland said.
"Up to two-thirds of patients with lung cancer have no symptoms until very late in the course and, at that point, it's often very difficult to cure the patient of the cancer, because it has spread," said Dr. Richard Freeman, a thoracic surgeon at St. Vincent.
Freeman says the latest studies show low-dose CT scans cut lung cancer deaths by 20 percent.
"CT screening is designed to catch or pick up lung cancers early, when they have a higher potential to be cured," he said.
During a scan, a technician moves you into position where they can get an image. The procedure takes about three minutes.
In Freeland, they found a small nodule on his left lung.
"The fact that it is calcified means it's probably been there about five years and it's unlikely it will grow at that point," Dr. Freeman said.
It's a relief for Freeland, who is grateful for the new technology.
"It's not paid for by all insurance companies yet. We are one of the first centers in the U.S. and the Midwest to be able to provide it through a partnership with our radiologist," Dr. Freeman said.
"The fact that I don't have a major problem and I've had this exposed, I'm a lucky guy right now," Freeland said.
If you would like to know your status, for Checkup 13 this month, you may call to register for a reduced $99 CT scan at one of several central Indiana locations. To qualify, you must be 45 or older and have smoked the equivalent of a pack a day for 20 years.
