I am going to meet a friend there for my birthday this year so things will happen in two folds:
He wants to do some christmas shopping for his family in Europe (that's where he is from and of course he is flying from Zurich)
I am going for my birthday with a friend meetup kind of thing so I figured while he is there I will do some sightseeing and that sorts
I already have a list of places I want to see/do and I already saw that some places will be closed by the time I get there (such as the sailing cruise ships/tours end October 17th I will not get there until October 30th)
What I need to know is about which is the best way to get good prices, staying in downtown will be more expensive than staying near the airports, etc and in some cases I would be staying in NJ if I don't stay in downtown which is pointless because of the commute times. To be honest with you, staying in downtown/paying a higher premium in exchange for less commuting/shorter commute times will be a great trade off and allow me to see a bit more.
Does anyone know about the NYC Pass by Planet Hollywood? Is it for real? Their website has deals for hop on/hop off bus/NYC Pass/Express Pass (allows you to get ahead of the lines at certain attractions) If its real I know its what I want, they have a special sale going on and it ends this Saturday
I have not decided what hotel yet because I am waiting to find out where my friend wants to stay (we most likely will not stay at the same hotel, but we'll be close by) my hotel selection will be based on proximity to his hotel and my combination airfare discounts. I understand that there might be some hostels, I doubt there would be any in downtown? (there is one in Manhattan, right around the block from Central Park). I am tempted to stay at the hostel, I have stayed at one before wasn't entirely impressed but this one is a bit different so we'll see; I can get a hostel bed for less than $200 for 4nts to include breakfast.... now that's a steal!
Ok your turn, throw it at me

Electoral Tribunal Suspends Dissemination Of Propaganda Against Varela
Friday, July 13 2012 @ 05:18 PM EDT
Contributed by: Don Winner
Views: 856
This is a "breaking news" headline at this point and I'm still waiting for the details.
The fact that the Electoral Tribunal decided in favor of the request made by the Paname�ista party and against the Cambio Democratico and Molirena parties is really no surprise at all. The court is "owned and operated" by the PRD and they have lost any sense of being a neutral or fair arbiter a long time ago. And now that the PRD and Paname�ista parties have become allies against Martinelli, of course the Electoral Tribunal decided in Varela's favor (as I predicted this morning).
Anyway, now I suspect the CD will appeal to the Supreme Court, who will decide in their favor, and then the Electoral Tribunal will ignore that decision. They've already done exactly that once, who why not a few more times?

Front Office View by Michael Lombardi
7) The Denver Broncos really need another defensive tackle, and they seem like a team that might be aggressive near the trading deadline, possibly one willing to give away a 2013 draft pick for a player who can solidify the middle of the defense. The potential trade partner would have to be a team out of postseason contention with a free agent-to-be. Would Sedrick Ellis of the New Orleans Saints qualify? Only if the Saints keep losing. How about Glenn Dorsey of the Kansas City Chiefs? Only if the Chiefs are not planning on bringing him back. With the deadline extended this season to the Tuesday after Week 8, these potential scenarios will get interesting.

Marc: Meaning, Popularity, Origin of Baby Name Marc
Origin of the name Mark:
English cognate of the Latin Marcus, a name of debated origin and meaning. Most believe it has its root in Mars, the name of the Roman mythological god of war, and thus give it the meaning "war-like." Others, however, think it to be from mas (manly) or from the Greek malakoz (soft, tender). The name was borne in the Bible by one of the four evangelists, the author of the second Gospel.

I tried to warn him yesterday, but PPP forced my hand. I present to you all: Moose Day.
From Wikipedia:
The Moose (North America) or Elk (Europe), Alces alces, is the largest extant species in the deer family. Moose are distinguished by the palmate antlers of the males; other members of the family have antlers with a "twig-like" configuration.
Wait, what did you think Moose Day entailed?
Some fun Moose Facts from the Moose Foundation, did you know that:
- The word "moose" comes from the Algonquin Indians. These were native people who lived throughout the northern regions of Canada. The Algonquins called this strange looking creature mooswa. It means "twig-eater" or "the animal that strips bark off of trees." Early explorers heard this work and through the years, it eventually changed into "moose."
- While a male may use its antlers to hold off a predator, a moose's sharp hooves are its first line of defense. Moose are able to kick out in all directions, but generally use their front feet.
- They're faster than they look!

Country singer Randy Travis has had yet another brush with the law in North Texas.
Plano Police say Travis was involved in a scuffle in the Preston Wood Baptist Church parking lot, off Preston Road in Plano late Thursday night.
Plano Police Officer David Tilley says an estranged married couple was involved in a verbal argument in the church parking lot, when Travis stepped in.
Tilley says Travis, who apparently knew the woman, reportedly got physical with the husband.
The responding officer reports that alcohol use was suspected, but Tilley says there is no evidence that any of the parties involved were intoxicated.
The arrest report stated that Travis' clothing was torn and his eyes were bloodshot.
Travis was cited for simple assault, a Class C misdemeanor, that officials equate with a traffic ticket. Travis was not arrested in relation to the altercation.
Another woman, Cavanaugh Beoughner, was also cited for simple assault.
No one was injured in the incident.
Although various media outlets are reporting Travis was hospitalized after the incident, Plano Police say Travis was not transported in an official capacity by their department or the Collin County Sheriff's Office.
This is the country crooner's third run-in with authorities in North Texas this year. In February, he was arrested for public intoxication in Denton.
In August, Travis was charged with driving while intoxicated and retaliation for allegedly threatening to shoot and kill troopers in Tioga, TX.

I have been reviewing the top 20 prospects by Sickles from a month ago http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/12/11/3755850/houston-astros-top-20-prospects-for-2013 . It is a very interesting list of players. While I was looking at the grades and players I started to look at a few other top minor league systems to compare. The Astros minor league system is somewhere in the top 5-8 ranked system from my judgement. I also think that would be the consensus by many fans and evaluators, as well. If that is something that you are interested in or you like to see the minors ranked highly, there is some better news. I think the system will be ranked higher next year.
Out of the top 20 prospects 9 were drafted in the last two years. There were 14 players given a B- or better and 8 players are B's or better. Sickles also names 8 additional C+ graded players and a total of 43 players of interest. "Interest" is the key term I am excited about. I was one of the more pessimistic Astro fans and posters here from 2006-2011 because of the lack of "interesting" prospects. Those days are long gone. The system is very strong today.
As I went through the list I was amazed at how young the players were. Out of the top 20 the only players that may be used in the majors next year are Cosart, Grossman, and Villar, in order of likelihood. There is a decent chance that none, or only Cosart, has significant ML time and loses rookie eligibility. I believe this is a great thing not only because the minor league system could be ranked very high in another year, it also means the prospects are rated highly even in the lower minors. While these players have a higher bust rate, they also have higher upside. And the Astros need impact players at the ML.
I don't have time now to get in more depth. I got a great feeling looking at the prospects today and wrote this to spur some conversation about the system. It looks great. In Luhnow we trust.
Who are your sleepers? ETA on any guys? Whatever....

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSMeth Bill Fails, But Epidemic Remains
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Mar. 9, 2014 9:59 PM EDT
Updated: Mar. 9, 2014 10:46 PM EDT
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Dave Benton) -- It's no secret that meth is a huge problem in our region.
But Saturday night, lawmakers once again failed to pass the controversial meth bill to require a prescription for commonly-used cold medicines.
Even though lawmakers spent four hours of the last two days of the session on the bill, Senate Bill 6 died without a final vote. If passed, the law would've made certain cold medicines, like pseudoephedrine, the main ingredient used to make meth, hard to buy.
The problem has gotten so bad in our region emergency responders are being trained this weekend on how to deal with meth explosions or even meth labs found at a crime scene.
"They need fire departments and emergency organizations to know how to respond to these types incidents in a safe and professional manner, so everyone goes home," Tom Miller, of WVU Fire Service, said.
Some say a new law could help cut down on meth crimes. When the Senate passed the bill, the House of Delegates took out the "prescription only" measure, but wanted counties to put the law on the ballot.
People had mixed reactions about the bill not passing.
"Meth around here is horrible," T.J. Stone of Charleston said. "I've seen a lot of families go down, people selling whole houses and everything. I'd like to have seen it passed."
James Hill of Charleston also weighed in.
"It'll help us in the war on meth, but hurt us if we, the families, need prescriptions," he said.
Until there's a solution to the meth epidemic, emergency responders will still do what they can to protect themselves around meth labs.
"We're constantly faced with new challenges and new hazards," Miller said. "We have to stay ahead of the game, because, if we're behind the game, then it's a sad day in the fire service."

LB is definately the position that has me the most nervous going into next year - especially LB depth. As of the start of next year we'll have:
2 Seniors: Tyler Nielsen and Bruce Davis. Nielsen will likely take his spot back at LEO (assuming he is completely healed) and Davis has the inside track on the other OLB spot.
2 Juniors: Terrance Pryor and Cameron Olson. Neither of these guys have played in a single game yet.
3 Red shirt sophomores: Shane DiBona, Dakota Getz, and Marcus Kloos. DiBona played in a limited capacity through most of this season; Getz played in a couple of games but didn't accumlate any stats and Kloos did not play at all.
6 True sophopmores: T.J. Fisher, Christian Kirksey, Matthew Meyers, James Morris, Jim Poggi, and David Ryberg. Of these only Morris has played in even a single game.
4 True Freshmen: Quinton Alson, Cole Fisher, Mike Orloff, and Melvin Spears. It is impossible to tell whether any of these will be able to help contribute in their first year. I could note that it is possible to add one other name to this list: Rodney Coe. I realize he was recruited as a RB, but there has been some speculation that he could play as a LB as well - a position he played well in HS as I understand.
It is a very, very young LB corps that is light on experience. Behind the three likely starters of Nielson, Davis and Morris there is only DiBona and Getz who has played in even a single game - and of those two ony DiBona has any stats.
Time to hit the panic button yet?

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) – Three bodies found in New Albany's Binford Park on Wednesday have been identified by New Albany Police.
Investigators said Jamie Clutter, 35, her son Brandon Clutter, 10, and her 6-month-old daughter Katelyn Clutter were found dead around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday in Falling Run Creek, which runs through the park.
Autopsies were performed Thursday at the Kentucky Medical Examiner's office in Louisville. The causes of death have not yet been determined pending further testing.
Major Keith Whitlow said the Clutter family relocated from Washington State to an apartment complex in New Albany in December 2012.
No suspects have been identified.
The New Albany Police Department's Criminal Investigation Unit is continuing to investigate.

Ooltewah 3, Siegel 2
OOLTEWAH, Tenn. (WRCB) -- Ooltewah rallied from an early hole to win the final two sets and clinch a spot in next week's Class AAA state volleyball tournament with a 3-2 victory over visiting Siegel in sub-state sectional play Thursday night.
The Owls couldn't have had a worse start, dropping the first set in a 25-11 blowout. They managed to win the second 25-22, but fell were on the brink of elimination after a 25-20 loss in set three.
Ooltewah rallied, feeding off a huge home crowd to post a 25-22 victory in the fourth set before outlasting Siegel in a 15-13 back-and-forth, match-deciding final frame.
Leondra Barrett led the way with 16 kills and five blocks, while Kelsey Chernak dished out 26 assists. Courtlyn Ison had nine blocks, and Barrett added five.
East Hamilton 3, Notre Dame 0
EAST BRAINERD, Tenn. (WRCB) -- East Hamilton had little problems punching its ticket to the Class AA state volleyball tournament with a quick 3-0 rout of visiting Notre Dame in sub-state sectional play.
The Lady Hurricanes used a balanced effort to dispatch the Irish (13-19) in scores of 25-14, 25-11 and 25-17.
East Hamilton flexed its muscle early, jumping out to a 7-0 lead in the opening set. Notre Dame led just once all night, 6-5 in the second set, but the Lady Canes ripped off eight straight points to erase the deficit.
Emma Lenoir led East Hamilton (33-18) with 12 kills and added 11 assists and seven digs. Kylie Scruggs finished with 10 kills and 13 digs, while Morgan Phillips served up seven aces.
Red Bank 3, Signal Mountain 2
SIGNAL MOUNTAIN, Tenn. (WRCB) -- Red Bank looked to be in control early in its Class AA sub-state sectional, but wound up having to scramble late to secure a 3-2 win over Signal Mountain to clinch a fifth straight trip to the state tournament in Murfreesboro.
The Lionettes won the first two sets 25-16 and 25-15, only to drop the next two 25-20 and 25-17 to the host Lady Eagles. The final set saw ten different ties and six lead changes before Red Bank claimed a dramatic 16-14 win with three unanswered points.
Trailing 14-13, Red Bank's Savannah Nelson hammered home the tying kill before Shelby Hayes scored back-to-back points to seal the win.
Nelson led everyone with 26 kills on the night, while Hayes added 23. Abby Graham directed the offense for Red Bank (38-9) with 60 assists, while Ansley Helton paced the defense with 28 digs.
Taelor Kellom's 21 kills led Signal Mountain (20-29), while Shelby O'Quinn did a little of everything with 19 digs, 13 kills and five aces. Carolynn Thielges finished with 44 assists.
Boyd-Buchanan 3, Jackson County 0
CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- Boyd-Buchanan had hit the road to play it's hard-earned home date in the Class A sub-state sectional round, but showed no ill effects in a 3-0 rout of Jackson County.

With the win, Boyd-Buchanan (30-13) clinches a spot in next week's Class A state tournament in Murfreesboro.

We've all heard about the horsemen of the IT revolution that we're living — mobile, consumerization and cloud — and the changes these trends will demand of IT organizations to deliver their benefits. It seems that companies have to meet the insatiable demands (and desires) of business users and employees, as well as those of external customers. Compounding the pressure are the Millennials, or the Connected Generation (Gen C), and concerns about their presence in the workforce.
In my view, this demographic — combined with the new technologies they covet — will require huge changes inside the IT organization. The Gen C individual isn't just an IT customer, but an integral part of it. At a fundamental level, it means that how you engage in the business of IT itself has to change along with the services that you offer. In other words, you have to start an IT revolution from inside the enterprise, starting with IT itself. Old ways won't work with new generation staff, as this CA slidecast explains.
Supporting the Support Staff
Let's use a simple example: IT support. IT teams typically have some way to rotate engineers through an on-call schedule. It amazes me how many still rely on physically handing off a device — usually a BlackBerry and sometimes a pager — to the person who is on call. That engineer is supposed to walk around with this device, whose sole purpose is to act as the on-call "bat-phone," should he or she be needed. Consider how ridiculous this is in today's consumer driven-IT environment. All Gen C employees in IT likely have their own smartphones, so why saddle them with a crusty BlackBerry just to "page" them? I bet this approach is mocked mercilessly internally and with outsiders, and it causes credibility problems for IT. (You want to avoid the perception of systems administrators shown below, after all!)
Clearly, IT should walk the walk and use consumer IT in its own shop before it can manage it throughout the organization. What happens when an IT team takes something simple in the everyday work process, such as updating a problem ticket, accessing a knowledge management system, approving a change or getting information from diagnostic tools, and puts a barrier between the engineers and the systems they need? Inefficiencies result. For instance, if access to your IT management tools requires calling the service desk or operations team, or else powering up a laptop, connecting to your corporate network VPN, and then launching a fat client to get a simple task done, you're guilty of making things unnecessarily difficult and inefficient. We all have our favorite productivity apps on our smartphones and tablets; why not use them on the job? Ease of access to IT tools is not something that's nice to have; it's a Gen C expectation.
If IT organizations don't change the way they themselves operate, various staffing challenges and problems will result. Chief among these are an inability to attract and retain the best talent; IT people working around IT policies; and IT's inability to fulfill the mission of supporting the business.
Many changes are not difficult to make, but they require you to commit to change and include younger workers in determining what parts of your IT processes are either broken or ripe for improvement. A simple formula to start with is:
- keep your people connected, mobile and engaged with the end users they support;
- offer them consumer-technology choices,
- and above all, keep it simple.
Taking these steps may not solve all of your staffing issues, but these policies will help establish a credible IT organization that can attract and retain strong IT people.

(WMC-TV) - A man is in jail after spraying gasoline on a deputy and threatening to blow him up, according to officials.
Ruben Chavez, 53, is facing several charges after reportedly beginning the night vandalizing a local business while intoxicated.

"Get back, before I blow everybody up," Chavez is quoted as telling respondents.
The affidavit stated Chavez refused to stop.
"You all will have to kill me before the night is over," declared Chavez.
Chavez is being held on a $60,000 bond. He faces at least seven different charges.

Notes from The Well
Art You Can Read: Adam Green, Rock n' Roll Chimera
This loving caricature is an homage to an outstanding artist,
who goes where many others have gone before,
but always in his own way.
The Note Well Salon: FREE MUSIC
Theme: FRIEND MUSIC. (In honor of you, our friends!)
Place: The Book Club (in London Shoreditch)
It will be The Note Well Salon's public debut! Please don't miss it–it'd mean so much to see you there!
Well, hello.
Sunday the 4th of July, we had another Salon*!
The day's theme was Free Music.
It is not mere coincidence that Sunday was Father's Day.
Here's what we mean by "Free Music:"
Free of charge, land of the free, free your mind. There are lots of places to take this one–it's free for interpretation. This playlist explores the different ways the word "free" and its different meanings is relevant to music, musicians, and music lovers.
Here's our pre-salon music:
"The FREE-DOMMMMM Playlist"
- "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen
- "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
- "I Want to Break Free" by Queen
- "The Star Spangled Banner (live)" performed by Kermit Ruffins
- "Freedom" by Rage Against the Machine
- "Free" by Cat Power
- "To Be Free" by Emiliana Torrini
- "I Feel Free" by Cream
Here's what we heard and discussed:
1. "Uncle Sam Goddamn" by Brother Ali
"The land of the thief, home of the slave." Brother Ali is the anti-patriot. A biography that defies odds (did somebody say albino Muslim indie hip-hop artist from the Midwestern U.S. of A.?) in a country that in lust with Opportunity™. What better way to include a tribute to freedom of speech than a bit of informed dissent set to a killer riff?
2. "Minor Swing" by Django Reinhardt
A jazz standard. Active in the '30s, '40s and '50s the legendary Romani gypsy-style jazz guitarist himself escaped the clutches of the Third Reich and became a household name in swing and jazz, though both genres were deemed degenerate by the Nazis. Also, dude had three fingers on his left hand.
3. "I'm a Flirt (Shoreline)" by The Hood Internet
All gain, no pain: R Kells gets your girl, we get The Hood Internet's mesmerizing mash-up of "I'm a Flirt" and "7/4 (Shoreline)." Neither R Kelly nor Broken Social Scene saw that happening to their respective tracks, to be sure. The Chicago indie popsters-by-day (their band is May or May Not), mix-masters-by-night behind this dole out all of their sound collages for the price of zero on http://www.thehoodinternet.com/.
4. "Everything is Complicated" by Scott Alexander
Alice met Scott while he was sitting on a street corner in NYC, giving away free cookies. It's just a thing that he does. Seeing as Alice also doles out baked goods, she found friendship inevitable. Conveniently for our purposes, Scott also makes pop music that is repetition-free, and his lyrics are refreshingly filter-free as well. Match made in heaven… or Greenwich Village. Download a sampler of Scott's music at http://www.scottalexandermusic.com/ for just guess how many units of currency.
5. "Break on Through" by The Doors (Live at the Isle of Wight Festival)
There are many paths to freedom, and some may or may not have looked for the ones paved with narcotics and William Blake lyrics. The Doors, with self-proclaimed poet-shaman Jim Morrison as their front man, exemplified the spirit of an era that saw the popularization of seeking spiritual freedom by setting the synapses afire, by any means necessary.
6. "Sunshowers" by MIA
With familial ties to and open sympathy for the Tamil Tigers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_Tigers), MIA smashes or smashes into freedom of speech walls with her art. We offer this song because it is a jam.
7. "Departure" by Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid
A jazz-obsessed electronic musician pairs up with a jazz drummer who jammed with the likes of Sun Ra and Miles Davis. The thought is free-jazz and the year is 2010. Hebden improvises samples and loops and bleeps and bloops while Reid keeps the pace with his legendary symbols and snare. RIP Steve Reid.
Here's what was said:
* We're commissioning Brother Ali for The Wire: The Musical.
* What, people still play music like Django? Right, that's all of us off to the gypsy swing bar then. See you there? http://www.quecumbar.co.uk/opening.html
* This song is a mash-up? Ohhhhhhhhh I thought it sounded kinda weird. Also, someone should make orchestral indie with R&B vocals in the first instance. Right, that's our concept band sorted then.
* "There's The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, or maybe Black Sabbath -I know about them and I always wanted to get to know them a bit more -but they weren't really in my parent's record collection, they were always a bit more into like The Beatles, and…[pause] you know…. Cliff Richard." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us3dQ0nnlHY
* With the advent of endless free music on the internet, we dismiss more songs on first listen these days, as opposed to bludgeoning ours ears with All Saints until the $18 we spent on that album seems less offensive than the songs themselves because we made a COMMITMENT, for crying out loud.
Here's what we shared:
- "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American)" by Toby Keith (IRONICALLY!)
- "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You (The Twelves remix)" by Black Kids
- "Major Tom" by Shiny Toy Guns
- "My British Tour Diary (Satanic Twins version)" by Of Montreal
- "I Can't Stand the Rain" performed by Seal
Here's what we ate:
Wholewheat Chocolate Guinness Cake
Mr Fox's Biscuits
Tabouleh two ways
Iris' Tzatziki
Turkish Garlic Bread
Post-DIP Strawberry Cheesecake (thanks, Chris W!)
All-veg BBQ
Mr Fox's Chocolate Strawberry Tarts
Here's to more of this to come!
*The Note Well Salon takes music into the drawing room, with fresh baked goods in tow. We curate a selection of songs to hear and discuss in a fun, friendly, informal way. We invite everyone to share their thoughts and their own music. Oh, and each Salon has a theme! What could be more fun than that?
The Note Well Salon: DAD MUSIC
Sunday the 20th of June, we had another Salon*!
The day's theme was Dad Music.
It is not mere coincidence that Sunday was Father's Day.
Here's what we mean by "Dad Music:"
Everyone's got a poppa–biologically, at least. This playlist explores the different ways fatherhood is relevant to music, musicians, and music lovers.
Here's our pre-salon music: Dad-friendly Easy Listenin' Playlist
"Annie's Song" by John Denver
"Good Night and Good Morning" by Hall & Oates
"She's Gone" by Hall & Oates
Here's what we heard and discussed:
- "Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major , BWV 1048 – Allegro" by J. S. Bach (Cavendish Music Library)
The "Father of Music." Duh.
- "Son of a Preacher Man" performed by Nancy Sinatra
Preacher's son, Frankie's daughter. Call their dads "Big Poppas."
- "Rode Null" by Hauschka
Volker Bertelmann, alias Hauschka, is an artist who embraces his life in his art, and his fatherhood in his life. Also, he listens to Hannah Montana with his twin daughters–what a good dad!
- "Ho" by Yahowha 13 (Djin Aquarian on guitar, Octavious Aquarian on drums, and Sunflower Aquarian on bass)
Ah, Yahowha 13. In case you haven't heard, they were a largely improvisational psychedelic group led by Father Yod (rhymes with "load") of the Source Family. Yod died in 1975 in a hang gliding accident; he was survived by 13 wives and over 140 "spiritual children."
- "Bridge Over Troubled Water (Demo Take 6)" by Simon and Garfunkel
A Proustian call to tear-jerking and eye-rolling: Alice's father's karaoke song of choice. Oh, your dad too?
- "Oso Panda" by Papa Topo
We have used our rudimentary command of Google Translate to roughly interpret Spanish emerging artists Papa Topo's name as "Daddy Mole." Okay, so the relationship here is tenuous. But it's a decent twee tune! And frontman Adria's first concert he attended without his dad and mom is indie popmasters Camera Obscura–a clear influence on the "Papa."
Here's what we shared:
"Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John
"Paper Planes (Holy Fuck remix)" by M.I.A.
Here's what we said:
- Bach maintains his relevance on the "Easy Listening" airwaves of Austria. Also, whilst classical music is one of few musical forms intended to be listened to purely on the merits of its aural sophistication, these days we only ever seem to recognize its value to the development of our infants and plants…
- None of us know very much about classical music. Bach is the Father of Music. Duh. Why? Well… He just IS.
- We like Hauschka. There's something childlike about his tinkerings, but we're glad he hasn't been influenced (evidently) by the music taste of his daughters.
- Father Yod and his merry men certainly bring some interesting things to mind (Jason and the Argonauts? Peter Fonda?), and provide the perfect soundtrack for your next, er, journey.
- There are some songs that just sound like your daddy's music. You can spend your youth rejecting them and end up running right back into their arms. OH TAKE US BACK TO THE SWEET DAYS OF OUR YOUTH PAUL AND ART PLEASE.
- You'd think twee would be more about happy endings. Panda, Panda I do not want to die alone. Neither do we, Daddy Mole.
Here's what we ate:
Wholewheat Chocolate Guinness Cake
The Note Well House Hummus with Basil and Pumpkin Seed Oil
White and wholewheat pita bread
Cherries, cucumbers, carrots
"Peer Pressure Cake" aka Chocolate Bailey's Cake (thanks, Chris W!)
All-veg BBQ
Grilled peaches
Here's what won:
All-veg BBQ (overheard at the Salon: "Can we do this for every BBQ?")
Brasil (over Cote d'Ivoire)
Here's to more of this to come!
*The Note Well Salon takes music into the drawing room, with fresh baked goods in tow. We curate a selection of songs to hear and discuss in a fun, friendly, informal way. We invite everyone to share their thoughts and their own music. Oh, and each Salon has a theme! What could be more fun than that?
Well, hello world!
Thanks for visiting, whether through coercion or by accident.
The Note Well is:
1. an online magazine
2. an offline salon
We'll be with you shortly.
Zai jian!

Don and Jennifer Schiefelbein of Kimball held the first Minnesota's Mom's Day on the Farm Tour Saturday July 26.
Funding for the event was provided by the beef checkoff; the event was coordinated by the American National CattleWomen, the Minnesota CattleWomen's Association, and the Minnesota Beef Council. Mothers from central Minnesota had the opportunity to tour Schiefelbein Farms to learn more about the beef industry.
Markets celebrate across the state
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has proclaimed Aug. 3-9, as "Farmers Market Week" in Minnesota to celebrate the benefits of farmers markets and the agricultural products farmers provide.
The popularity of farmers markets has increased, in part, because of the interest in healthier foods and lifestyles and an increased understanding of the importance of maintaining small, sustainable farms. Local farmers are able to offer consumers a variety of products including heirloom vegetables, heritage breeds of livestock, and other specialty products.
Minnesota Grown spokesman Paul Hugunin says more than 175 farmers markets are found in the Minnesota Grown Directory.
Ag Lease 101 helps both land owners and land operators learn about alternative lease arrangements and includes sample written lease agreements for several alternatives. Ag Lease 101 was created by and is maintained by the North Central Farm Management Extension Committee. More than half the cropland in the North Central Region of the United States is rented. Rental rate and leasing information is highly sought by both land owners and land operators.
AgLease101.org, includes multi-state materials which help land owners and land operators discuss and resolve issues to avoid legal risk. The website also guides both land owners and land operators towards informed and equitable decisions.
Ag Lease 101 was created by a team of economists and attorneys.
Several Lease Publications are available including: Fixed and Flexible Cash Rental Arrangements For Your Farm, Crop Share Rental Arrangements For Your Farm, Pasture Rental Arrangements For Your Farm, Rental Agreements For Farm Buildings and Livestock Facilities, Purchasing and Leasing Farm Equipment and Beef Cow Rental Arrangements For Your Farm. These documents will help farmers and landlords set up desired terms for the lease agreement.
10 percent blend begins July 1
Diesel drivers will see a new fuel at the pump on the first of July as Minnesota rolls out the nation's first required 10 percent biodiesel blend. Known as B10, this higher blend will be sold at filling stations during Minnesota's summer months. In September, the biodiesel falls back to the current and cold capable B5 blend. In 2015, B10 will be available between April and September, annually.
Minnesota's biodiesel is made primarily from homegrown soybeans, which are one of the state's leading cash crops. The Minnesota biodiesel industry annually contributes more than $900 million to the economy. Minnesota was the first state to require the use of biodiesel in 2005; currently three plants are in full production. The plants, located in Glenville, Brewster and Isanti, produce a combined 63 million gallons of biodiesel annually.
Katelyn Asfeld will be serving as the new Office Manager Intern for the Minnesota Beef Council this summer. Katelyn is a junior majoring in Agricultural Education- Leadership & Communications and minoring in Mass Communications at the University of Minnesota. "I'm very excited to be part of the Minnesota Beef Council team" Katelyn says. "The beef industry has always been interesting to me. I'm looking forward to meeting beef producers throughout the state and hearing their stories." Katelyn will be responsible for performing a variety of administrative and program tasks to support and assist in implementing promotion, education and information projects.
Katelyn was raised on a family crop farm outside of Kimball, and was heavily involved in FFA. Her family farm activities and FFA involvement helped shape her passion for agriculture and her choice to stay in the agriculture industry. "I have always enjoyed expressing myself through writing. Words are powerful, which is probably why I love writing, speaking and music. I can't wait to learn more about the beef industry and share my knowledge with others."

Part 2: The Truth About Santa Claus
Pdad accepts the fact that I teach our children the truth about Santa because he thinks it doesn't ultimately make much of a difference. He doesn't believe it's a problem to teach children to believe in Santa but he also doesn't think that they miss out on much when they are taught not to believe in Santa. I disagree on both points. Telling our children the truth about Santa maintains our ability to teach and testify about truly important things. That is the upside. Unfortunately, there is also a downside . . .

There are multiple reports out there today saying Ron Zook has been fired as the head man at Illinois. It would seem to me, that this is the perfect time to try and rebuild any bridges that were burned with the Brohm family during the Kragthorpe era. Besides being a Louisville football/ Trinity high school legend, Jeff is a good coach who had his career growth severely stunted by Kragthorpe. For those who don't remember, Nick Saben wanted him to be his offensive coordinator when Petrino left; but, with his brother coming back for his senior season he made the choice to stay on the Louisville staff and call the plays under Kragthorpe. Both of the Brohms decisions to stay at UofL proved to be costly in many ways.
Brian would have been, at the very least, a first round draft choice; and, Jeff was well on his way up the college football coaching ladder until the rung he was standing on snapped. He wasn't exactly fired, he was offered a "non-coaching role" with the program. An insult to say the least for someone who had been viewed as one of the brightest young offensive minds in the game before the Krag1N1 outbreak. He landed at Florida Atlantic with the pipe, and then made it back to a BCS school at Illinois under Ron Zook where he guided Nathan Scheelhasse to freshmen records in passing and rushing yards during the 2010 season.
The Offensive coordinator position has been in flux this season, and has many fans wondering who will fill that role in 2012. Watson has done well since taking over the play calling duties; points per game are up significantly over the last six games of the season under his guidance. Still, I think we can all agree that the play calling has left something to be desired in terms of aggressiveness and creativity. Brohm is a Bobby Petrino disciple, which for some would be all the credentials needed no matter what his name is. Even if Watson is promoted to Offensive Coordinator, there will be position open as the QBs coach.
Far be it from me to tell Tom Jurich or Charlie Strong what to do; but, this is the perfect opportunity to welcome the first family of Louisville Football back into the fold. The program is on the rise, and there is a budding young star under center. Tom,... Charlie,... it's time. There doesn't need to be a search, there doesn't need to be an application process, and there certainly doesn't need to be a reference check. Just pick up the phone, call this man, and bring him back to where he belongs.

For the first time in nearly 60 years, voters in Henderson County will have chance to vote on alcohol sales in some unincorporated areas.
The Henderson County alcohol referenda is on the ballot for everyone to vote on Tuesday, affecting those who want to buy alcohol in the unincorporated parts of the county.
Parts of the county, like Bat Cave, have been dry for years, where it is illegal to sell alcohol.
"We come here on vacation and we have to drive 20 or 30 miles to go get some alcohol and I don't think it's right," said Curtis Parker, a Henderson County resident.
Marion Baker owns Bat Cave River Cottages and said if the town wants to see more business, the laws need to change.
Voters on Tuesday should be aware that there is no simple "for" or "against." Instead there are what some describe as nine confusing questions dealing with malt liquor and unfortified wine.
In short, the malt liquor means beer and unfortified wine is plain old wine.
Baker says she'll rely on a little divine intervention in hopes it will all make sense.
"I go through and read it prior to going and voting and I pray and I ask the Lord give me the right answer to help business owners and people who live here," said Baker.
People have not had the chance to vote on alcohol sales in unincorporated Henderson County since 1955.
While some people feel the law should stay as it is other people, especially business owners, would like to see alcohol sales legalized.
Right now there are no bars and you can't buy alcohol in the grocery store or a restaurant, both of which are difficult to find in the dry areas.
Henderson County voters will have the chance to speak up on Tuesday along with voters throughout North Carolina on issues beyond alcohol, including the controversial marriage ruling Amendment One, as well as candidates for governor and Republican presidential race.

Industry & Economy
Economic Offences
Corporate - Corporate Governance
Education, code of conduct to beat corruption stressed
Our Bureau
Kolkata , March 11
CORRUPTION is one of the worst enemies of democracy, as it takes away from the poor the most. And one of the ways in which the menace can be tackled is through education and a code of conduct.
Making a presentation on `Good governance for better government and business', at an interactive session organised by the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce, (IACC), Eastern India Council, here on Thursday, Mr Robert A. Cerasoli, former member of the House of Representatives, United States Government and International authority on `Ethics', said "corruption takes place because it is allowed to happen."
Incidentally, Mr Cersaoli is the recipient of several international awards for his work on the Ethics front, including that of "Fraud Fighter of the Year", from the Association of Fraud Examiners, USA.
Drawing from his experience in public service, especially as Inspector-General (IG) at Massachussets and also as former chairman of the US Ethics Committee, Mr Cerasoli said the mantra of the office of IGs in the US was to detect "fraud, waste and abuse."
Drawing a parallel between corporate governance practices in both business and government, he said, "While business operates on profit basis, governments operated on a cost basis."
Explaining modern concepts such as `oversight in governance' and `performance evaluation', he said the US too has had its share of corruption, which are of the sophisticated variety. The IGs in US, he pointed out, need to develop different tools to counter the menace of corporate corruption.
Pointing out that the Indian situation vis-à-vis corruption in high places was not quite dissimilar to that in the US, he said. Privatisation of public enterprises was an interesting concept, wherein the need to protect the interests of the people was of paramount importance.
Stressing on "ethical relativism", he said corruption, like beauty, was in the eyes of the beholder.
Providing an insight on prevailing corporate governance practices, Dr Abhijit Sen, past national president of IACC, said the situation with regard to Indian companies was different from the international companies in as much as Indian companies are dominated by the promoter groups, whereas global corporates are totally managed by professionals.
He said the oversight mechanism with regard to corporate governance here cannot function quite so freely, because, "the form is there, but no substance".
Independent directors in Indian companies still need to be truly independent, he pointed out. Citing the new emerging international concepts globally, he said both corporate and performance governance have now been overtaken by enterprise governance, adding fresh fodder to the studies being carried out now by many management scholars in Harvard Business School.
Suggesting that strategy was still the key to performance guarantees in corporates worldwide, Dr Sen said a clear oversight mechanism, to prevent corporate frauds, was still not in sight even in the West.

How Redmond got serious about baking security into Windows 7.
It's probably a good thing my favorite software developer prefers to meet me at sushi restaurants, because when a security nerd like me starts debating a code jockey like Adam [name changed to protect the guilty] it's best if there are no sharp utensils handy. "What do you mean, 'Security isn't your problem?!' What do you meeeeean 'That's stuff to deal with later?'" I squeal, while my friend placidly chews and swallows and explains that where he works, they build the software first and iron out "the bugs" later — including any security holes that turn up.
And then he orders more sake, while I wonder whether I should be more afraid of bad sushi or Adam's software.
Fortunately for most of us, Adam doesn't work at Microsoft. Back in 2004, Microsoft — after years of pounding from security researchers as well as those with less savory motives — made it a company-wide policy that security processes are baked into software from the moment someone starts scribbling on that first whiteboard. Windows 7 is the second version of the company's flagship operating system to undergo the complete process, known and maybe even loved at the company as the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle.
Loved? Accepted at least, according to David Ladd, principal security program manager of the company's Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) team, who says that the process is "entrenched" in development teams throughout the company. Security scrutiny is woven into all six phases of the software development process.
1. Requirements. As the developers begin to figure out what features belong in the new software, projects are registered with Microsoft's Secure Windows Initiative team, which in turn provides security advisers to the development crew.
2. Design. The new software's requirements and structure are fleshed out, while security folk work out security architecture and design guidelines for the product, review potential attack surfaces, and model possible threats. Ladd says that in the years since Windows Vista's development, the company has increased its emphasis on bringing security into this phase of the process — that is, early — since it's the phase at which potential security problems are easiest and most cost-effective to resolve.
Threat modeling is in many ways an exercise in creative thinking equal to the design process itself, since the security folk are attempting to predict threats to any software feature that might have security or privacy implications (again, at the same time the larger development is thinking up the features themselves). Ladd demurs from giving specifics, but says that the team came up with "dozens of threat models of varying complexity" for Windows 7.
3. Implementation. Coding is well and truly underway at this stage. As the code flows from the developers, the security folk are doing their best to break it, conducting code reviews, running code-scanning tools that seek out buffer overruns (a popular attack vector for malware) and the like, applying coding and testing standards, and running other security-testing wares including "fuzzing" tools that can catch API-related problems. With Windows 7, the fuzzing tools got a more thorough workout than they did with Vista; Ladd says that since Vista, the SDL's list of banned APIs has expanded significantly, locking down a number of potentially exploitable avenues of attack.
Mitigations — techniques that make it easier for developers to counter hacker attempts to exploit a vulnerability — figure prominently in the SDL at this point. Defense-in-depth-based techniques such as preventing the exploitation of user mode heap corruption vulnerabilities, integrity checks for safe unlinking in the kernel pool, and filter improvements to XSS filters in Internet Explorer 8 (the default browser in Windows 7) are making their first appearance in Windows 7, according to Ladd.
4. Verification. The software is now functionally complete and ready for beta testing. For security folk, the Security Push (yes, that's this phase's official name) is on as they expand their efforts from the high-priority attack surfaces identified in the Design phase to — well, everything. No code is safe now as the security team looks at not only the new material but at legacy code re-used from earlier versions of the software. Penetration testing is also underway, and the team — with the general public just over the horizon — prepares a security response plan for after the software's release. Which, after a final security review…
5. Release, followed immediately and for the life of the product by…
6. Support and servicing, which includes necessary patches and fixes.
Microsoft started revamping their security approach in earnest with the launch of its Trustworthy Computing Initiative back in 2002. That said, give credit where credit is due: The SDL is less a bout of original thinking from Redmond than an aggregation of proven security processes developed both inside and outside Microsoft, and designed for both client/server applications development (well-trod terrain for Redmond, obviously) and for applications based online or in the cloud.
To give back to the larger security community (and to encourage third-party developers to pursue a similarly rigorous security-aware approach to development (are you listening, Adam?), the company has been remarkably open about the mechanics of the process, which it describes as "non-proprietary" information. To that end, the SDL process guidance, updated regularly, is available online. What Ladd describes as "a slew" of SDL tools are also freely available for download, including BinScope Binary Analyzer, a build verification tool; !exploitable, which automates the process of bug triage; and an updated Threat Modeling Tool. Additional tools such as a basic fuzzer are available in the SDL Tools Repository, and there's also a free training kit including multiple "Virtual Labs" demonstrations for those just getting started.
So — the SDL being a living process, constantly under review and revision — what did the Windows 7 team learn during development? What astonishments and surprises did the team encounter? Ladd says there was "no revelation at all — which is the ideal experience when it comes to the SDL." Or, most security-oriented tech folk would add, for getting to know and understand a fresh operating system.

Yea, I'm a little upset about that too. We wanted to switch to the smaller can before the rate hike, but I was under the impression that the rate wouldn't go up until we got the third can.
on Apr 29, 2009 at 8:27 pm
I was surprised at the increase too. Not that it will do any good, but I plan to call tomorrow and ask why we couldn't choose the smaller can before the increase.
Make sure if you are 62 or over that you get the senior discount!!!

Things I've learned the hard way over the years!
1.) When ANY governmental or quasi-governmental entity says something like.. "We're considering... " or, "We might have to implement.."; you can bet it's already at the printers!
Case in point. They've 'floated' the rumor for years that the VA Hospital in Livermore might be closed/reduced/restructured. They've had meetings, town hall forums, and informational sessions. The next step is to close without warning and cry.. "We don't know why anyone's surprised! We've been talking about this for years!"
It's the nature of the beast....

ImRich- have you seen the left handed pipe wrench? The boss wants it now! lolMarch 19, 2012 at 5:19 a.m.
A roughneck and a roustabout are two different jobs. A roughneck works on a drilling rig or a work over rig and a roustabout is member of a lease crew. The "semi-skilled hand" is called a "Worm". It is usually the worm that gets people hurt because they do not know what they are doing. Hope that clears things up. I bet Barry has a "sky hook" in his garage. lolMarch 18, 2012 at 9:13 a.m.

At last year's Paris Air Show,
some of the hottest aircraft were the autonomous
unmanned helicopters -- a few of them small enough to carry in
one hand -- that would allow military buyers to put a camera in the
sky anywhere, any time. Manufactured by major defence contractors,
and ranging in design from a single-bladed camcopter to four-bladed
multicopters, these drones were being sold as the future of warfare
at prices in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In May, at a different trade show, similar aircraft
were once again the most buzzed-about items on display. But this
wasn't another exhibition of military hardware; instead, it was
the Hobby Expo China in Beijing, where Chinese
manufacturers demo their newest and coolest toys. Companies such as
Shenzhen-based DJI Innovations are selling drones with
the same capability as the military ones, sometimes for less than
$1,000 (£650). These Chinese firms, in turn, are competing with
even cheaper drones created by amateurs around the world, who share
their designs for free in communities online. It's safe to say that
drones are the first technology in history which has the toy
industry and hobbyists beating the military-industrial complex at
its own game. Continue reading

Scotland has an estimated 50,000
heroin users, many of whom can be found on the streets of Glasgow.
Today, the signs of the city's drug problem are visible even in the
city centre where addicts can be seen sitting on the pavement,
leaning against walls and staring listlessly into the distance.
Hope House, a hostel for the homeless on the edge of the Clyde,
provides a refuge for many of them.
It was at this shelter that a
35-year-old heroin addict called Donny (not his real name) woke up
on a December morning in 2009 with an unbearable pain in his thigh.
On most days, Donny followed a familiar routine that had been
engraved upon his life by his drug habit. He would walk over a
bridge across the river to a neighbourhood on the opposite bank
that was once a leper colony, and is now home to council housing.
There, Donny would buy heroin from a dealer and visit his partner
and two children. After taking a hit in their flat, he would wander
back to his hostel. But on this day, Donny could barely
walk. Continue reading

Superfast broadband is getting a step closer, to all of us. While roll-out has been quick in towns and cities across the UK, many rural communities have lagged behind. It isn't great, having a two-tier digital economy, especially when much of the SME sector that relies on the digital network is the exact same one the government is looking to help the UK restore a healthy economic balance.
However that looks set to change.
The European Union has taken the first step in approving a funding programme set to help broadband expand to rural towns and villages. The decision is set to come in the next few weeks and it will allow councils to start building the infrastructure and reaching more homes. The price tag, the government says, is £350 million.
To see the difference that will make we only have to look at the burgeoning small and medium business sector in towns and cities who have been able to grow by relying on cheap broadband and mobile technology.
So what difference does it make?
At the most basic level, it means both at home and in the office the broadband connection is faster. That means it's easier to stream videos, to load up websites and what-not. There's also another part of it.
Faster internet connection has led to the rapid growth of mobile and cloud technology. This month the first 4G network launched in the UK. To consider the impact that will have, wind the clock back a few years to the advent of 3G.
Without 3G you wouldn't have the iPhone 3Gs, or the Samsung Galaxy S2 – widely regarded by many as the best smartphone there is. You wouldn't have mobile devices like tablets. It wouldn't be so easy to connect laptops and netbooks wherever you need to use them. Mobile technology has meant having a calendar, hosted email or access to documents in our hand held devices, be their mobiles or tablets.
That shift in technology paved the way for a change in work patterns. The move to mobile meant people no longer had to work in front of a laptop or PC to stay connected. They could still offer the same level of communication and input while they were travelling, coming out of a sales meeting or working from home. The flexibility has freed up business, helping them look for more avenues of growth and expansion.
So how does that relate to rural broadband? Faster internet connections across the country will mean that growth is not just restricted to towns and cities. If every town and village in the UK has the same kind of access to mobile technology then they are able to work and develop their business in a way that suits them.
Faster connections are not just about mobile. They mean more accessibility; taking advantage of cloud technology, making connections with clients around the world; if more of the country is digitally mature then it can only help the country's business community.
