I live in Buffalo and was watching the local sports on the news and they were showing highlights of the triple-a matchup between The Buffalo Bisons (Mets) and Norfolk Tides (orioles).
In the 5th, Tides pitcher and our good old buddy Rich Hill (on a rehab stint)looked curiously to the sky, took off his cap, and called for time. As he walked towards his dugout the entire crowd became confused as to why the game was delayed. He called for a towel and began to laugh.
It turns out that a seagull took a dump on Rich Hill, seriously.
Hill cleaned himself up as the Bisons flashed his smiling face on the scoreboard video screen in center field. Throughout the rest of the game the Norfolk dugout covered their heads in towels to prevent any projectile seagull turds from dirtying their uniforms.
I've been looking all over for a video link, can't find one yet, but it was hilarious, maybe someone else can find it for others to enjoy.

Guess the Desk
Newfangled's workspace is out in the open. No cubes. Only a few walls.
Needless to say, we are fully aware of the distinctive quirks each of
us have about our desks.
I've taken some photos of a few particularly interesting details of 8 desks in our office. You can guess which desk belongs to whom.
Here's the team roster to choose from: http://www.newfangled.com/newfangled_web_factory_employees
Desk 1: The Cephalopodophile
Hint: This coworker also has a blog devoted to his obssession with all things squid and cephalopod related. He also dressed up as a squid for Halloween this year.
Desk 2: The Sweet Tooth
Hint: Did you know that Newfangled has an obssession with the terribly cheesy messages printed on Dove chocolate wrappers? This project manager is especially obsesssed with them.
Desk 3: The Futurist
Hint: This person was once desribed as a 'human siphon of the internet.' He's got a slight obsession with robots and has been known to dress up as one on occasion.
Desk 4: The Cool Dad
Hint: As you can see, this coworker's children have inherited some creative genes. Perhaps they'll end up in one of the best alt country bands of all time like their dad too?
Desk 5: The Taskmaster
Hint: Taskmaster may sound like a strong word, but really truly, this person is responsible for the scheduling and pricing of every task that Newfangled completes ... and she is a Master at it!!
Desk 6: Does this band-aid match my Harley?
Hint: Most would think that owning a Harley and Hello Kitty paraphernaila would be mutually exclusive. This developer proves that's not so.
Desk 7: The Green Thumb
Hint: This person is the steward of our office plants. I guess you could say he has a green thumb when it comes to sales too.
Desk 8: Takin Care of Business
Hint: This person is just about the only person who MUST rely on paper still. You may hear from him about an invoice :)

Hi, I'm Marshall, Vice President and all around creative at Studio Say So. This is my first of many (contractually obligated) blog posts. For my inaugural post, I want to use this share some of our process and some of the unique things we encountered during the making of this project. Searching for Air: Mackenzie's Story is a piece that we are really proud to have produced.
We are lucky enough to have a good working relationship with the marketing department at Florida Hospital for Children and they really allow us room to create interesting video concepts and execute them. When they introduced us to Makenzie Peters and her story, they allowed us to brainstorm with them and develop some ideas on how the story would be told. For us, like any creative company, it is a huge privilege to be trusted with shaping the story from the start.
The Concept
One of our standard practices when making this type of mini-documentary type about people is that we always try to meet the subject in a non-filming situation first. We don't want the first time they meet us to be when we are pointing a camera in their face. If we take the time to get to know them as people first, a week or even weeks before shooting, we not only get an excellent time to scout out the story, but even more importantly they get to know us. When it comes time to shoot they already know us, they already trust us, and they already are comfortable opening up to us on camera. Also, the questions we ask the first time we meet them help them develop even better answers the second time around.
After reviewing our notes and trying to write out a couple of different ideas and outlines, Danny came up with the concept of filming underwater. Makenzie talked a lot about how much she loved swimming and had not been able to do it because of her epilepsy. It turned out to be a great way for us to communicate the feeling and stress of having a seizure. I also feel like it brought us a really strong opening to grab the viewer. The visuals turned out very dramatic, we even found ourselves cutting some of what we shot because it was so disconcerting to see a small child floating 'lifeless' in the water. My hope is that the visuals set the stage and drama for the rest of the piece.
Shooting Underwater
This was our first underwater shoot. We ended up using this housing with a Canon 60d. It was a lower cost option that ended up working out great. We found it a bit little tricky to work the focus and actually see what your doing while underwater, but if your give yourself time to get a good shot and shoot a lot, you will be happy with the results.
Most of the time I would look at my setting and length from subject while above water, and then just try and maintain that distance while swimming. One big obstacle with the housing we used was that there is a lot of air with in the container that the camera is in. So taking it to any depth and holding it steady becomes a battle. There were two things I wish I had: A counterweight on the housing, just heavy enough to combat some of the buoyancy it had. And a decent pair of flippers, because swimming without your arms (cause you are holding the super bouyant camera housing) was not easy. As far as camera settings the only odd thing we did that I think worked in our favor is that we shot at 10000 color temperature to warm up the colors. The water was so blue that even after adjusting we had to warm it up in to get the finished look.
Adobe Speedgrade
This project was also unique because it was our first time using Speedgrade on a professional project. SpeedGrade is a product now included in the Adobe suite that is used to "Open the full dynamic range of your footage through a sleek new interface" – i.e. to color your stuff. Prior to Speedgrade we did a lot of our looks through FCP 3 way corrector and/or Magic Bullet's programs. However now that we have left FCP behind, we are looking forward to a loving long-term relationship with Adobe, and so… Speedgrade. Some of the interface is a little odd, maybe because Adobe just purchased SpeedGrade they haven't had a chance to make it comply with the rest of the suite (interface and short-cuts). However, after getting past some interface hang ups, some as simple as a different shortcut to save your work, I found it to be a really powerful program.
The biggest difference for me was the ability to do color correction in a layering system similar to photoshop. This made it easy for me to understand how different custom layers and presets interacted with the footage, because you could take an opacity slider for each layer and pull it in and out to see the changes. Not only is that useful for noticing the changes, but obviously its effective at controlling the change. For example, if I have my layer effecting a set up clips (lets say it is all the underwater clips). I can take layer and apply general color correction changes. Then I can take a preset look like Cinematic and apply it over the same set of clips. On Mackenzie the result came off a little too dark and dramatic for my liking (or the clients). The Cinematic preset has crushed a lot of my darks into oblivion. However, have no fear because I can pull the opacity of just the preset down to a place that makes my sequence look great with out compromising color quality.
All in all, we are pretty excited about this piece. A lot of what we do is mini-docs and testimonials and we are constantly looking for that thing that will grab the viewer and connect them to the story – for this piece it was shooting underwater. But ultimately with a story as compelling as this one, we are just there to watch it unfold.

Hai Phong Water Supply Co., Ltd is one of the best-performing water suppliers in Vietnam. Currently, the company supplies sufficient water for over 249,000 residents in Hai Phong City. Last year, the company attained revenue of VND391.1 billion and paid VND12.9 billion to the State Budget, 6 percent higher than the target provided by the city's government. The firm ensures stable, well-paid employment for more than 1,100 employees, with an average monthly wage of VND5.5 million.
These prideful results are accrued from the company's well-directed leadership, well-defined planning, and right investment in the past years. Currently, the company is gradually shifting its focus from extensive network development to product and service quality improvement and applying scientific and technical progresses to most production and management stages.
In addition, based on friendship cooperation between Hai Phong City and Kiatakyshu City of Japan, Hai Phong Water Supply Company and Kiatakyshu Water Authority have had many effective, practical cooperation programmes since 2009 with the financial support of Japan International Cooperation Agency.
Through this project, Hai Phong Water Supply Company performed researches on organic matter treatment with biological technologies and enhanced the reputation in water quality management. The firm also installed two biological filtration columns in An Duong and Vinh Bao water plants to treat ammonium and nitrite which are impossible for conventional treatment methods. Along with this, the company's 14 staffs have been sent to Japan for further studying and six Japanese experts were employed to work and exchange experience with the company. Thereby, technical staffs learned appropriate skills for management and operation of distribution systems, including measures to reduce water loss and establish regionalised distribution systems.
To upgrade An Duong water plant – building biological filters from 2013 to 2015, the company is urgently asking the financial support from JICA. This upgrading aims to deal with climate change and environmental pollution, improve water supply services to customers, especially water quality, and apply new technologies to water treatment to reduce chemicals used and increase operating efficiency.
Over the past four years, the two-side very specific and effective cooperation meets real requirements of both sides. The two sides have also cultivated friendly relations and cultural exchanges to formulate a long-term sustainable relationship. As Japan has advanced water technologies, Hai Phong Water Supply Company wants to cooperate with Japanese partners to acquire technologies. Apart from the sister cooperation with Kiatakyshu Water Agency, Hai Phong Water Supply Company has also collaborated with other Japanese companies such as Kobelco Eco-Solutions, Hitachi and Kubota.
In the next stage, Hai Phong Water Supply Company will embark on its second-phase upgrading worth US$74 million from 2013 to 2018. The company expects to borrow from the Asian Development (ADB). This is a good opportunity for Japanese contractors and consultants with market development plans in Hai Phong in particular and in Vietnam in general.

Good Thursday morning to you, South Jersey! Last night's cold front has finally moved out to sea, and after a few last second isolated showers, we'll begin the clearing process throughout the region. High pressure will begin to nudge eastward behind the front and gradually clear the skies overhead. Highs won't rebound too much despite the clearer conditions later today, but it will still be rather pleasant to be outside. Highs in the low 60s with a stronger northwest wind at 15mph. We'll have a beautiful and calm night tonight as the central core of that area of high pressure situates itself over the Mid-Atlantic. Mostly clear skies and calm winds will allow for us to cool down quite nicely into the upper 30s on the mainland and near 40 on the beaches. This will be perfect weather for viewing the full moon, the "Pink Moon", as well!
Once we begin the day on Friday, that's when we also begin a stretch of weather that can be described as nothing short of beautiful! We'll see mostly sunny skies with a calm southeast wind developing over the afternoon, and high temperatures will reach the mid 60s on the mainland and 60 on the beaches with that sea breeze. Thanks to that rather large and strong core of high pressure, these beautiful conditions will last right into the weekend as well. Both days, Saturday and Sunday, will be nearly identical: Mid 60s by day, low to mid 40s by night, mostly sunny, and rather pleasant. Our average high temperature is 65, and I do believe that we'll stay right around that mark going into the next work week. There is, however, an area of low pressure just down to the south and west that will try to nudge northward, but the latest models indicate that the pre-existing high pressure block that will be in place will keep that low to our south. Overall, we appear to remain dry right into the middle of next week with at least partly sunny skies and highs right around our average of 65 degrees.
Have a great day!
- Meteorologist Adam Rutt

When Your Teen Changes Up
If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, then teenagers must be from a galaxy far, far away. At least it can seem that way when parents and adolescents try to communicate with one another. However, that teen slouching in the corner with the headphones on, the one who seems to be ignoring you, is just exhibiting normal youth development.
"Change in friends, appearance, music tastes without a corresponding change in your child's functioning is not a problem," says Phillippe B. Cunningham, Ph.D., an associate professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. "If change is happening, but your child continues to perform well in school (getting good grades) and at home (completing chores, keeping curfew) I would not be that concerned. Changes happen as our children grow, change interests and are exposed to various media such as TV, radio, music, concerts, sports, etc. We may not like these changes, but unfortunately – and inevitably – they happen."
What Can a Parent Do?
Parents often feel that they have failed or that they are no longer an important part of their teens' lives, especially when teens go through "the change." However, as most changes are just part of teen development (trying to find their own identity), many experts suggest that parents simply try and reconnect with their teens in order to offer a more "normal" family unit.
"Reconnecting with teens can be done in little, subtle ways, things such as putting TVs, VCRs and computers in a central location rather than in your teen's room in an effort to encourage them to be involved in regular family interaction," says Steve Moak, founder of the Not My Kid Foundation in Phoenix, Ariz. "While this is not a drastic change, sometimes subtle is much more effective."
There are a number of things parents can do to reconnect with their child. Most important, and for better results, Cunningham suggests parents establish regular opportunities for communication with teens. "Avoid communicating with your teen only when there is a problem," Cunningham says. "Schedule some family or one-on-one time alone with your child doing an activity or going somewhere they are interested in. Dinner is a great time to get the communication going both ways."
Food for Thought
According to Cunningham, there are some basic rules and advice to keep in mind when dealing with this stranger who once was your teen:
- Ask your child about their interests without comment or critique – and listen to your child. Don't try to multitask. Look them in the eye and ask clarifying questions. Find out about their interests, likes and dislikes and aspirations. Everyone likes talking about themselves, especially teens. If you don't know, ask.
- Keep the ratio of hard feelings (anger, confrontation, critical) to soft feelings (soothing, nurturing thoughts, I love you) to a point where the emotions of the communication can be overwhelmingly in favor of soft emotions.
- There is nothing wrong with affectionate touches (hugs, shoulder rubs). These can go a long way to reconnect a parent with a distant teen.
- Catch your teen being good. Pay attention to your teen doing something good and praise him for it.
- Create opportunities for your teen to earn your trust. When your child shows responsibility, she should be given more responsibility. For example, if your child consistently makes it home in time for curfew, you should extend her curfew. In addition, when she misses her curfew the repercussion should be that her curfew is reduced.
Communication Is the Key
What it boils down to is that talking to your teen, even if all you get is a grunt or moan in response, is very important. "Establishing and keeping lines of communication open is key," Cunningham says. "Once open and honest communication is established, raising difficult or sensitive topics is much easier and causes less conflict. However, conflict will arise when raising adolescents. I typically suggest, when there is not imminent risk involved, talking with your child when you and they are in a good mood versus when you or they are angry."
Just as you can scare away a flock of birds with a loud noise, so can you scare away a teen with words, actions and things he doesn't want to hear. "Avoid lecturing and blaming by staying concise and to the point," Cunningham says. "That is, state what your concern is, trying to focus on specific behaviors, with language that is nonjudgmental and non-pejorative. Also, avoid thinking that your child is intentionally doing something to you or to get back at you, as this often generates more negative emotions, and you are likely to say something that you will later regret."
When to Seek Professional Help
There are times when changes in teens are not "normal" or just part of the teen growing process. During these times, a parent must intervene and maybe even get outside help. "A parent's concern is warranted when there are 'significant changes' in their child's behavior and personality," Cunningham says. "In this context, significant changes mean in comparison to their child's usual way of being and behaving."
These significant changes can include, but are not limited to the following:
- Increased irritability
- Moodiness
- Argumentativeness
- Increased hostility
- Decreased school functioning (truancy, poor grades)
- Decreased interest in usual activities or previously enjoyed activities (hobbies, sports, etc.)
- Increased noncompliance with home and school rules (breaking curfew)
- Associating with a new, more deviant peer group
"The bottom line is that as a parent, when you are concerned, when the pit of your stomach is uneasy or when you feel a significant disconnect from your child, you should act," Cunningham says. "As I suggest to parents, 'I would much rather that you act and be wrong than to not act and be right.'"
Many parents, especially those with teens, would agree that parenting is a balancing act of sorts. And, as Cunningham states, being able to keep a good balance is a much-needed skill in dealing with the stranger who was once your teen. "Research has shown that parents who balance warmth (acceptance, nurturance) and control (discipline) consistently have children who are psychosocially competent and less likely to use drugs," Cunningham says. "I would suggest that parents focus on these two dimensions of parenting and let the rest fall into place."

Retailers added more jobs nationally in November than in any other year ever, according to a report from job search firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Stores and malls added an estimated 465,500 people last month, which barely beat out the record of 465,400 set in 2007. But, in what is hopefully a signal of increased spending and better consumer confidence, November hiring was 21 percent better than the seasonal job count of a year earlier.
The trend is fairly similar when October and November are lumped together. The number of added jobs is 19 percent better than the same two months in 2011, and only 50,000 shy of the holiday hiring total for all three months of last season.
John Challenger, CEO of the Chicago-based company, speculated that part of the increase could stem from so many retailers deciding to begin their Black Friday sales on Turkey Thursday. But it can't be ignored that this year, more Americans are working and are shopping.
To give these numbers a little context, when the economy crashed in the fall of 2008, the number of people hired for seasonal work fell into an abyss, going from 720,800 in 2007 to 324,900.
Data for retail hiring and all the other types of jobs in November for San Bernardino and Riverside counties will be announced in about 10 days. Last year Inland Empire retailers added close to 8,000 holiday workers, but it was still well below its pre-recession peak, which was in 2006.

I really didn't want to get off my couch, load my gat and get in my car to fire off some rounds. But hey, this was the first taste of "Steeler football" of the year. I cringe as I type "Steeler football". I really hate the first game of preseason and this game was just plain ugly. I mean these games are short on star power. While it's fun looking at new players, there's chance or injury and all. Anyhow since I locked and loaded....as Marvin Gaye said…Let's Get It On.1. Ike: broke a thumb? Put a cast on and play. We know he isn't going to intercept anything anyways.
2. Antonio Brown: What's not to love about him?
3. The game: This game looked like a Redskins team trying to prove something and a Steeler team going through the motions. I'll blame this on rust. No pun intended. I know, preseason.
4. Redman: I see ya bro. Can we all just say he runs hard and his wheels don't stop. He gets tough yardage. He may never reach the status of his legend, but half of that is all we need.
5. Mundy: Niiiiiiiiice. I liked him from day one though. That injury his first year saved Carter 's job for another year.
6. DBs: Don't be too tough on them. They ran horrible coverage schemes for the base defense they played up from.
7. Heyward: Anything coming his way was shut down. He showed up on the field more than in the stat line.
8. Hampton: How can they miss that many holding calls when he's near the ball carrier.
9. Keisel: Nasty!
10. Suisham: Dude they game you another 5 yards and you still can't kick it out of the endzone? Did you even play soccer?
11. Redskins: What's up with playing your starters all first half?
12. Redskins Cheerleaders: I have nothing to say about that…..wipe your chin young man
13. Robopunter: Keep him please. Then make him wear knee braces anytime he's not in the game.
14. Use this one to get the party started. I'm going to bed.
By the way.....Can't let a Redskins game go by without letting a few from my favorite bunch say hello. Say hello to the ladies.

As if you didn't need another reason to have a cup or two of coffee each day - now comes word from a new study that the amount of caffeine you drink may lower your risk of developing skin cancer.
Harvard researchers studied nearly 113-thousand men and women over two decades.
The found that the more caffeinated coffee, tea and chocolate people consumed, the lower the chances of developing basal cell carcinoma.
That is the most commonly diagnosed skin cancer in the U.S.
Researchers say their findings are similar to a study in mice that found caffeine blocked the formation of skin tumors.

Charlie Strong and his coaching staff are continuing to shock the sports world. While we are still waiting on 4 star DT Todd Chandler to commit to the CARDS. Charlie is wasting no time getting other DT. 6-3 290 Jamaine Brooks commited to the CARDS this morning. A very under rated player that is not ranked nationally but dont tell him that
"I feel I have them all. If I can get the right coach, I feel like I can get to the NFL."
He is a big powerful player that could make an imediate impact on the CARDS line depending on what DT Todd Chadler does.
Now the question lies if Charlie will cut players to make scholarship room for the other 5 remaining big name recruits left with only 1 scholarship left. These palyers include
Dominique Brown- Louisvilles number 1 QB option visiting this weekend.
Todd Chandler- Any where besides UL would be a huge upset
Kadron Boone- 4 star WR- GReat Player immedate starter, between us and LSU
Deon Rodgers- OLB committed to Georgia, but has a great relationship with Charlie.
Preston Brown- OLB committed to Cincinnati, but expected to make the jump.

Defender snake repellent, 3.5kg
Price £49.07
£40.89 exc. VAT
Granular formulation that repels all types of snakes.
The ability of snakes to see, smell and hear is very limited. The majority of their sensory inputs of heat, humidity and ph values are obtained by their flickering tongues. This input is analysed by their Jacobsen's organ. The active ingredient of Defender, napthalene, gives off a vapour which causes the Jacobsen's organ to block the sensory information, causing the snake to retreat from the treated area.
Defender has been extensively tested on Middle Eastern snake species, both venomous and non-venomous.

By SAMANTHA MANNING6 News Reporter
BRISTOL, Va. (WATE) - Wine in grocery stores is stirring up heated debate in Knoxville as elected leaders consider changing state law. But just across the state line in Virginia, they've been doing it for decades.
It has been allowed in Virginia since 1934, according to the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
The Food City in Bristol, Va. dedicates nearly two aisles to the wine selections.
"Everything that you need is in one place," Bristol resident Anne Koehner said.
Koehner lives in Tennessee but crosses over into Virginia to do her shopping so she can buy groceries and wine in the same place.
"I think it's very convenient," Koehner said. "I'd like to see Tennessee do it, too."
Other Tennessee residents said they choose the Virginia grocery store over a liquor store because of the convenient hours.
"Liquor stores are closed on Sunday, so that's one we reason we get the wine from the grocery store," Bristol resident Bobby Rutter said.
Some Virginia liquor stores told 6 News wine is still a big seller even though local grocery stores carry it on their shelves, too.
Karen Self is the co-owner of George & Sids, a liquor store on the Virginia side of Bristol.
Self said their wine selection attracts people from across the state.
"We take special orders," Self said. "We cater to our customers."
Self said she has had the store for around 28 years and said the grocery store competition doesn't pose a big threat to business because the law was already established when the store opened.
"It hasn't really impacted us at all," Self said.
But Self said changing the law in Tennessee would be unfair for small business owners, because it would likely take a while for them to adjust to the changes.
"I think it would overall just hurt their business and maybe even put them out of business," Self said. "It would kill a lot of small businesses."
But others said the law would better serve Tennessee customers.
"It would be nice to be able to have it all in one place," Koehner said.

Rob Ezell Puts It On Players With Saban Likeness!
Alabama fans you just got to love this. I sense some excitement start to build as the season opener approaches. The thing that I love is to watch the Saban psychology at work. The intensity, discipline and process is downright fascinating. Football can get crazy and out of reason for some, but as a learning process for disciplined achievement in the right program, it can be a life obtaining winner. Saban I think brings that to his world of football.

The New York Knicks never led as the Indiana Pacers ran the visiting team out of Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Wednesday night, 125-91.
For more on the story, visit Fear the Sword and Posting and Toasting
The game was never close, and Indiana (33-21) led by as many as 39 points. Paul George continued to solidify himself as a legitimate NBA All-Star with a strong line of 27 points, eight rebonds and three assists on 11-of-19 shooting from the field and 4-of-9 from the three-point line.
New York's shooting woes started with Carmelo Anthony, who was just 7-for-21 from the field and 1-for-6 from beyond the arc. Tyson Chandler was the unlikely scoring leader for New York (32-19) with 19 points and 11 rebounds, four of which came on the offensive end.
New York shot just 33.7 percent from the field and turned the ball over 15 times. They were 5-of-28 from the three-point line.
The Pacers got a little help from everyone, as 12 players registered at least one field goal in the contest. They had 21 turnovers, but they mitigated that issue by shooting 53.2 percent overall.

With yields on Treasurys at all-time lows and cash paying next to zero, some yield hunters are finding solace in a surprising place -- their checking accounts.
Criticized lately for high service fees and excessive ATM charges, checking accounts have suddenly become a haven for jittery investors seeking a safer return. According to a recent survey of 155 banks by Bankrate.com, 57 institutions now offer so-called high-yield or "rewards" checking accounts; twenty-seven of those banks make these accounts available to consumers nationwide. While the average yield on these accounts is 2.56%, down slightly from 3.3% last year, many institutions are paying 4% or more. That compares to 0.2% for the average money-market account and less than 3% for the 10-year Treasury note. "Checking accounts are still the best, highest-yielding place for federally insured liquid cash," says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Florida-based Bankrate.com. "It's a no-brainer."
Savers have responded by piling into such accounts. Deposits in so-called "rewards" checking programs offered by these mostly smaller banks and other financial institutions swelled to nearly $18 billion in June....

good response. that's the stuff, right there.
comment on a post New McCain Ad Tries To Piece McCain's Brand Back Together over 6 years ago
comment on a post Hillary Clinton's General Election Strength over 6 years agoIt would be really interesting to see what the polls were 6 months ago as to who was the likely winner of the Democratic nomination.
I think that would show how really unreliable these polls are. And how fortunes change.
on a comment on Open Thread over 6 years ago
Thanks for your concern. We should all always go to Scarbrough for our news and information.
comment on a post Sorry, Edwards Is Not The Key To The White Working Class Vote over 6 years ago
Stop talking about what pundits say. CNN, Fox, MSNBC have to, each, fill 24 hours with something. That's 72 hours of bullshit per day. Then the blogs report and discuss the bullshit. It's like a stupid dog chasing it's tail. Are the blogs the dog or the tail?
on a comment on Sorry, Edwards Is Not The Key To The White Working Class Vote over 6 years ago
Yes Clinton/Biden. That's going to happen so it is worth discussing. Or Leno/Letterman.
You seem to be a very reasonable voice. So, it is with much regret, I must go to some other site where knuckleheads rule.
Some weird dichotomy though, I noticed. Many Obama supporters are assholes, while many assholes are Clinton supporters.
We know what Hillary said.
Hypothetical Obama quote - "I am more electable because Senator Clinton's support among working, hard-working men is weakening again, and more men are supporting me."
That OK with you?
you're mean
Hah! No, but someone at Taylor Marsh did! Soooo predictable. Soooo Republican. Noooooo sense of irony.
I think he was kidding.
Where oh where do you get your information?
You are not worried for a second. You are just pissed off. Admit it.
only on a much much much much smaller scale.
Hey you're the one comparing commenters to sexual harassers and spousal abusers. I'm just saying that comes from somewhere, but not here.

I got the opportunity to work on a real-time video installation in NYC taking place in the Mixed Greens Gallery. The installation, LoveHateNow, is collaboration between artist, Alexander Reyna and creative technologist Heidi Hysell. I helped with the design of the visual elements, coding, real-time graphics development and visualization of the real-time data streams. If you are in New York November 18, 2010–January 8, 2011, you should definitely check this installation out:
Opening: Mixed Greens Gallery, NYC, Saturday, November 20, 6-8pm
"LoveHateNow is a constantly evolving, real-time, mixed media triptych exploring the mood of New York City through live internet feeds…Viewers will witness a constantly changing landscape of numbers, words, and images projected onto an algorithmically generated triptych…the piece streams information from the The New York Times, the local weather report, Twitter, and other sources. The result is a snapshot that changes based on the minute-to-minute information it receives."

Now, as y'all know, Dwight hasn't been playing like a superstar, while Brook is a potential Allstar this year. So come off-season and if Dwight changes his mind again and the Lakers have a real answer that Dwight will not stay in LA and still willing and would still rather go to Brooklyn than any small market teams that has money to spend, would you guys, now, still be willing to trade for Dwight with the expense of Lopez and other fillers and picks (if that's still the case)?
I, for one, would rather have Lopez and the rest of small assets we have. I am really glad that we were able to keep Lopez instead of acquiring Dwight even though that would still be a not bad move. But if Joe and DWill still plays the way they play right now offensively, with Dwight, it'll be hard for us to score.
What I'm really pissed off with is not having the chance to sign Kirilenko. He would've been a great signing and would've made our team a lot better. I want his defense and passing skills and that would've made us a tougher team to beat.

Peoria, AZ (Sports Network) - Matt Clark's two-run double capped a three-run eighth inning Thursday, lifting the San Diego Padres to a 12-11 win over the Chicago Cubs in spring training.
The Padres entered the eighth down 11-9 and got the first run after Jonathan Galvez led off with a single, went to second base on a bad pickoff attempt by Alberto Cabrera, advanced to third on Cabrera's wild pitch and scored on Brad Davis' ground out.
Brad Brach stranded a runner at second base in the ninth to pick up the save for San Diego.
Earlier, Clayton Richard was torched for nine runs -- eight earned -- on 12 hits in 4 1/3 innings for the Padres and Chicago's Chris Volstad allowed six run on nine hits in 4 2/3 frames.
Jason Bartlett and Jesus Guzman hit two-run homers for San Diego while Jeff Baker and Reed Johnson had solo shots for the Cubs.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal traffic crash at the intersection of Cypress Lake Drive and Lake Breeze Drive.
FHP says Sean Edward Parke, 17, died after his motorcycle collided with a van that was attempting to make a left turn.
"All of a sudden he heard the motorcycle revving its engine then squealing like he was trying to stop, and then he looked back and ran over here, and he saw the motorcycle in the road because no one was around yet but couldn't find the guy and then that's how eventually we all kind of like realized the guy was inside the van," said witness Molly Bunn, of Fort Myers.
Westbound lanes of Cypress Lake Drive were shut down for at least two hours. Two females, Evelyn Miozza, 78, and Shirley Sylves, 80, were inside the van. Sylves is reportedly in serious condition.
FHP says speed and failing to yield may have been factors in the crash. If anyone witnessed this traffic crash, please contact the Florida Highway Patrol Corporal John Benton at 239-938-1800.

As I often remind readers, the publishing 'business' (and its models) are entirely beyond my understanding, but ... holy shit, this can't be the way things are done, can it? We're talking about Chinese here, not some obscure language spoken by a few million, or a few tens of millions of people. And there are publishing professionals relying on ... the Italian version ? (And shelling out $60,000 on the basis of that .....)
What's particularly interesting here is (the claim) that:
The novel by Shanghai author Xiao Bai sold only moderately well in China, but it has the elements that appeal to Western readers.
Yes, it isn't even a particularly successful Chinese novel -- but, apparently, perceived to be a Western-reader-friendly one. Yes, clearly this book sold (to US publishers, etc.) not on the basis of its Chinese success or qualities, but on the basis of its Italian success.
Viewed 93 times
Interesting points. I also recommend reading the previous post he links to about numbers and statistics of translated literature in English and Chinese.
Lucas Klein, August 4, 2013, 11:52p.m.
While I agree with a lot of the points here, I'm curious about the assumptions or premise this post is based on.
For instance, he writes complains that "this book sold (to US publishers, etc.) not on the basis of its Chinese success or qualities, but on the basis of its Italian success." One might think that Italian readers' preferences are no more an indication of successful US sales than are Chinese numbers, but that's not where he goes with this. Rather, he complains about "the usual generic blah-blah about Chinese literature in the 'West'" and "predictable pseudo-insightful (conveniently after the fact ...) quotes."
I also agree that it's very easy to overstate the difference between Chinese and "Western" or even "American" tastes; in my experience, all of this is much more flexible and diverse than most people are willing to consider. Nevertheless, certainly there are significant differences between what readers in different cultures respond to, and those have to play a role in publishers' decisions to publish foreign (or any) literature (as well as translators' decisions of what and how to translate).
There's something I agree with to the post's plaint that "God forbid anyone would simply be trying to buy or sell good books, not worrying about where it was or might be a bestseller." But then again I'm not convinced that what counts as good is so self-evident across cultures, or that the good in literature has any reliable relevance one way or another with what sells well or poorly (Finnegans Wake is evidently a bestseller in Chinese... draw conclusions based on that!).
As a translator, I translate and read for a number of reasons. I want to have a better sense of a given country or culture, I want to know what's going on in the literature or society of a given country or culture, and I want to know what a given country or culture's attitudes toward literature have to say to the attitudes toward literature in the countries or cultures I'm most familiar with. Admittedly that has little to do with the Italian success, say, of Chinese fiction. It does mean, however, that I'll find Li Qingzhao, Cao Xueqin, Wei Hui, Mo Yan, and Xi Chuan good or valuable for different reasons, and my wish is that there are enough publishers who have enough sense of those reasons to (continue to) publish more of all these kinds of works.
Lucas Klein, August 5, 2013, 12:14a.m.
I find it slightly amusing that he's so upset by the fact that the decision to translate was based on a reading of the Italian translation. Does he have any idea of how often publishing decisions in the rest of the world are based on English translations? Are they better than the Italian?
As for the rest, I agree with Lucas. Like it or not, sometimes tastes differ. I've read Chinese thrillers that have sold millions of copies in China but would be considered lousy in Sweden. Good literature does not equal number of sold copies in the country of origin.

I've always thought it interesting on how people get either, into wrestling, or back into wrestling, and this past Sunday I got to witness it first hand with one of my best friends. So I thought I would share our experience with the rest of you for those who are interested.
Just some back story, I watch almost every WWE PPV by myself, and since the breakup, every show too. None of my friends watch, or even like the product, but Its never really bothered me though. I feel like its something of my own, and that everybody else is just missing out. Besides, I have my CSS family here, and over the past year I have built great friendships with a lot of you.
Well anyway, So my best friend Ben comes over, because I had originally planned on watching, but planned over it last minute due to some things we had to take care of together. We got it done faster than expected and so he stuck around to watch it with me. The last time he had seen anything was some vauge rememberances of the attitude era and WCW. Infact some of the questions that followed, gave me the impression that he didnt know the diference between the two companys. My first thought was, "Wow thats cool. If he is as big on history as I am, (and is) then he would have the greatest time figuring out 2 decades of back story" When I finally turned it on, It was Axel vs The Miz. Nothing special was happening so the questions began, Is "Kane still here"? "Whos this. whys that," you know, that sort of stuff. I thought, geeze, this isnt really the kind of match you would want to show somebody for their first time. Thank goodness 9 minutes and 19 seconds later, it was over. Next up, Divas match, all that came out of that was he thought Kaitlyn was a lot hotter than A.J. My friend indeed. Now it gets good. "Break the walls doooooowwwwnnnnn!!" Immediately he said "Chris Jericho?!?!" and I think that was the hook right there. He knew who this guy was. VS Ryback? It was actually a great match, and I know it was great here. I could tell he was into it now, and he wanted Jericho to win. He settled for the disappointment, but I knew he was going to lose. Next up was ADR vs Ziggler, and holy crap that was a great match. We were both on the edges of our seats now. Back and Forth, holy crap, He was rooting for Ziggler to win. Then AJ comes down and ruins the match. To me, I knew they were doing the storyline breakup right away, but to him it ruined a 5 star match and just made him hate AJ that much more. He yelled "That little bitch!" Now he is getting emotionally invested into the show. Which is good. Cena VS Henry, and you have to realize, Ben has to idea to any of the back story and is all new and fresh in his eyes. We had the conversation that this was the typical "Hulk vs Andre" match and even he knew Cena would over come and finally defeat this giant monster. By the time the second failed AA he said, "Hes going to find a way to win, you just watch." I smiled and agreed. Pretty interesting on how easy it was to predict that winner, even to someone like him. Now the greatest part. See, we missed the first blue MITB match so by the time the Red came on, I had informed him how it works and what the point of it was. He thought it was a neat concept, but the match, Holy Crap. He remembered RVD and drew a liking to him. He though his performance was great, and even I thought so as well. RVD was great. He drew a liking to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan and ABSOLUTELY hated everything about Sheamus and wanted him nowhere near the ladder. It was a really tense match, and we both were at the edge of our seat cheering for Daniel Bryan like it was the last 2 minutes of the Super Bowl. and then Axel comes down, "Who the fuck is this?" he screams. "Yeah Punk! Get him" Punk slowly climbing the ladder, Ben gets madder, "Get up there! Come on get up there! Why is he taking so goddamn long? Get up there!!!" By this time, emotions are running way out of control, then Heyman smashes him with the ladder, "Why the hell did he do that? I thought they were friends?" (I filled him in just a little bit before the match). Then Orton grabs the breifcase, who like Sheamus he hated and wanted nothing to do with the breifcase. He wasn't nearly as worried about the outcome of the match as he was all this drama that unfolded just seconds before.
After the MITB we BBQed some steaks, and he was still talking about it and wanted to watch the CM Punk DVD, because to no real surprise to me, he had grew a liking to the man. We watched the whole DVD and he was way into it and it made him understand what had happened earlier in the night was just that much more impactful. and he just got a great look inside the business, and what all goes on. I am taking Ben to the Raw house show here in Portland, the friday before Summerslam, and what a time its going to be, to see it in real life.
A new fan was born that night, and what a real treat it was for him to experience all of that. It was a very interesting experience for me as well. Right now is a great time to be a fan of our sport, and witnessing this made me do a lot of thinking. Well I hope you found this as interesting as I did, and feel free to leave any comments you wish. Thanks for reading guys.

One of the reoccurring themes I've heard/seen from Cardinal fans, on the radio and the interwebs, since the rumors of Louisville to the big 12 became lukewarm, is that Louisville can't compete in the Big12. I've heard fans say that we'll never win a Big12 Championship; and, that the best we could ever hope for there is a third place finish behind Texas and Oklahoma. I've even heard/ seen fans say that they'd rather stay in CUSA-2.0 and be a big fish in a small pond. To those Louisville fans I say this: you'll be denying those statements like Saint Peter in a few years when we win the Big12. The history of this program tells me so.
The history of this football program is not one steeped in National Championships or New Years Day bowl glory. It is a program that was, by all accounts, almost eliminated from the Athletic Department entirely. There,.... right there within that little factoid that every Cardinal Football fan knows, lies the true essence of what Cardinal Football has been about for the better part of 27 years. Not only proving the doubters wrong, but rubbing their noses in it like a dog that just peed on the carpet. Generally speaking, "they" say a lot, and in the case of Louisville Football "they" have been saying a lot for a long time.
- They said a small urban school couldn't support a major college football program. Wrong
- In 1985 they said that Howard Schnellenberger would never come to a school that hadn't had a winning season since 1978. Incorrect.
- They said that the Pipe would never build anything here playing in a baseball stadium, with such a small budget. False
- They said Louisville would never attract the kind of players needed to be Nationally respected with such horrible facilities. Erroneous.
- They said Louisville would never get to a New Years Day Bowl, or finish in the Top25,.. 34-7 in the Fiesta Bowl over Bama, #11 in the AP. Miscalculated.
- They said Louisville would never be able to beat a team like Texas, ..... 41-10. Counter-factual.
- They said Louisville would never be able to beat Michigan State in the Liberty Bowl,... 18-7. Do we see a pattern developing here?
- They said Louisville would never be able to Build a new Stadium without state money from all the UK fans in Frankfort. Suck it Frankfort,.... they were dead wrong.
- They said Louisville didn't have the swagger to make Miami pay for jumping on the bird. Cold Chills
- They said Louisville would never finish in the top 10 on a CUSA budget. AP#6 in 2004. Juuuust a bit outside.
- They said Louisville would take a step back when they made the jump to the Big East. Won the league in year #2 and finished #6 in the AP,..... Wrong,... so wrong.
- They said Louisville was crazy to expand to 55,000 seats and that they would never fill it. Filled it last week,.... against Marshall.
How could these things happen? How could a small urban school with virtually no budget, and no real interest in football, go from the brink of extinction to 4 points from playing for a National Championship. From playing on an Astro-turfed AAA baseball field to running out onto the grass of a 55,000 seat, state of the art stadium? Vision,.... vision and the balls to make it happen that's how.
Howard Schnellenberger had the vision to see the potential here for something great, and he had the balls to say so in his opening press conference by declaring that we were on a......... you know. In that moment he set the tone for this program. He set the tone for the fans, the alumni, the boosters, and anyone who wanted to be there when the collision happened. He set us upon that course because he had a vision of what this program could be and he wasn't scared to tell anyone who would listen, or schedule anyone who wanted to play.
This program did not get to where it is today by digging in and hoping for the best wherever we happened to be at that time. This program got to where it is by thinking progressively, by always looking for the next step, and then not being afraid to take it. The Big East has been good to Louisville; but, this league has been dreadful since 2007 (primarily because the best coaches left for what they thought were better jobs), and now it is falling apart right before our very eyes. Should the invite come (fingers crossed) then Louisville will accept, for reasons that are far too many to enumerate.
As fans, we should all be excited when that next step is upon us. It will be the next step in what has been a long process of building towards something great. We should not fear that we don't have what it will take to compete with a Texas or Oklahoma. We have an athletic director that has been doing more with less for years; can you imagine what he will do with a Big12 budget? We have a coach who is already recruiting at a high level; can you imagine what he will do when there are 3-4 ranked teams on the schedule every year? This is just another challenge to rise to, another task that they will say we cannot accomplish. What the hell do they know anyway? Obviously not a lot when it comes to Louisville Football.
Collision Course

3Michelle Obama's Got Some New Hair
Michelle Obama's got some new hair, everyone. Tell the people. It's very important. The First Lady didn't go into full-on shocking Beyoncé pixie cut mode, but it's definitely a different look. She appears to have added some highlights. Done by a small child, because man, they look messy to me.
I'm not sure if this is better or worse than the bangs.
Which look do you guys prefer?

16I Kind Of Hope Amanda Bynes Gets Arrested For Her Obama Tweet
Amanda Bynes is really grasping at straws here. Or tweets. Her latest "You're ugly" twitter attack is none other than the President of the United States, Barack Obama, and the first lady, Michelle Obama. Because why not just go for it, right? Sometimes the FBI or Homeland Security or I don't know who the f-ck does this, but sometimes seemingly harmless negative tweets about the President get investigated and the tweeters get a lovely surprise visit from the "We want so badly to arrest your ass, we'll take anything as an attack on the President" police. I kind of hope that's what happens here. Yeah, she didn't go as far as this random-ass actress and send anthrax-laced letters to the Pres, but I hope Bynes is investigated and maybe even a little bit arrested. That would be really fun. And hilarious. And I'm getting sick of her "You're ugly!" tweets. Grow the f-ck up, Amanda.
Here's the tweet:
I will say that I'm really liking her description on her twitter account, which reads simply, "Your Wife".
My guess is Bynes is still holding a grudge that Obama didn't didn't fire the cop who arrested her in her drunk driving case.

8File This Under Lolz: Michelle Obama "Jealous" Of Kerry Washington
Michelle Obama, First Lady of the United States of America, is alledgedly jealous of actress and Obama appointed board member of the Creative Coaltion League and Artists Committee for Americans for the Arts, Kerry Washington. I totally forgot that Kerry Washington was involved in government programs but that still gives no plausibility to this story. And here is the alledged story: Ms. Washington is lobbying (see what I did there?) to play Michelle Obama in a film, which pisses off Michelle O, because she thinks that Washington is trying to seduce her husband, President Barack Obama. Here's my favorite quote from a source,
Michelle was furious when she found out Kerry had been invited to the inauguration, and ripped into Barack, telling him, 'Stay away from that woman!' Her jealous rage put a damper on the inauguration festivities, but at least the meltdown took place behind closed doors.
Oh and this is great, they're also saying that Michelle Obama got her haircut, complete with bangs, in order to get Barack's attention. Because of course a woman can't change her appearance just for herself, it has to be for a man.
In May of 2012, a biography of The Obamas titled, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, claimed that in 2000 Michelle wanted to divorce President Obama. Can we somehow blame Kerry Washington on that, too? Maybe if we try really, really hard.
I feel like someone's trying to make an updated Jackie Kennedy Vs. Marilyn Monroe feud but it's not going to happen. Stop trying to make it happen.

9Michelle Obama Has Killer Taste In Music, Guys
The FLOTUS is one amazing lady in several regards, but turns out that her excellent political perspectives also carry over to her personal taste in music, because she's got some serious jams on her playlist.
From People:
Singers on My Workout Playlist: Willow Smith & Beyoncé
"Whip My Hair" by Willow Smith always gets me moving – and it's just so inspiring how young and talented she is! I also love anything by Beyoncé – and of course "Move Your Body" gets me going not just because it's a great song, but because of the amazing video she did to help get kids active in support of [my campaign to fight childhood obesity], Let's Move!
My first concert: Stevie Wonder
I went with college friends, had front row seats and Stevie invited us on stage to sing "Ebony and Ivory."
My Grammy Picks: Frank Ocean and Kelly Clarkson
Album of the Year: Channel Orange, Frank Ocean. He's a young, innovative performer with a soulful sound. [For] Song of the Year: "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," Kelly Clarkson. It's an empowering song with a positive message.
Gotta love Michelle Obama! Barack has shared his iPod artists before and they're just as great, so we're definitely dealing with a hip family here. Sure, it's a bit of a fluff story, but sometimes it's nice to see the human side of our leaders.

0Presidents In Party Hats
President Obama celebrated his 50th birthday yesterday! Happy birthday, Mr. President!
And how did Madame Tussauds D.C. celebrate the occasion?
Something about this whole display gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies. The wax figures themselves look like reflections in a funhouse mirror.
Another thing: I am actually vaguely offended by the party hats. No matter your opinion of our Commander-in-Chief, I don't think his effigy needed to spend his Big Day wearing a paper cone on his head. (Now, Bill Clinton wearing a party hat in the Oval Office? That's hilarious.)
And finally, can you identify the wax woman standing with President and First Lady Obama? Because I genuinely thought it was Jennifer Hudson, you guys.

3Michelle Obama Is Going to Be on iCarly!
Ok, just stick with me, you guys. iCarly is a good ass show. Seriously, everyone who's ever seen it enjoys it. Fans of the show that I know personally include my father, my boyfriend, my roommate's nephew, and a 400 pound man I met at a party one time who drank a pint of whiskey while we enjoyed Nickelodeon together. If you haven't already, just give it a chance, all right? Thank you.
Anyway, I've talked about this show for a hot second before, but now that the First Lady is involved, it's time to get serious. Here's the touching story of the origins of Michelle Obama's episode:
Michelle Obama taped a special appearance for the hit series iCarly on Monday to help raise awareness to Joining Forces, an initiative that supports and honors U.S. military families. Executive producer Dan Schneider reportedly wrote the episode just for Obama and Joining Forces.
In the episode, Carly's (Miranda Cosgrove) two best friends break some rules to set up a web chat so Carly can speak to her dad, who's serving overseas. The first lady, who hears about the girls' efforts, then comes to talk to them about the importance of connecting soldiers with their families.
The episode is set to air in January.
Of course I love Michelle Obama, and obviously I have strong feelings for iCarly, so I imagine that come January, I'll be pleased as punch on so very many levels. Will any of you be feeling the same way?

Teaching new users about system security is an
important security tool. It is important to involve users in security
methods and goals; the more they know about the system and how break-ins
occur, the better equipped they are to guard against them.
Include the following topics in your user training:
What is the location of
the user's account? Specifically, which system, where is it located,
what is the proper node name if on a network, and, if the system is
part of a cluster, what other nodes are available?
Which terminals can be
used for logging in, and where are they located?
Is the account restricted
with regard to local, dialup, remote, interactive, network, or batch
operations? If so, describe both permitted use and restrictions.
Can the account be accessed
by dialing in? If so, provide the access telephone number, and describe
the procedure. Specify how many retries are allowed and the maximum
number of seconds allowed between each retry before the connection
is lost.
Are system passwords implemented
for any terminals that the user may be using? If so, describe which
terminals, how often the system password is changed, and how the user
can learn the new system password.
What is the account duration?
When will it expire? From whom should the user request an extension?
What is the user name?
What identifiers are held by the user, if any? What are the group
and member numbers associated with the user?
What password information
is required? Specifically, what is the initial password? Is the password
locked? If the password is not locked, how often must the password
be changed? What is the minimum length for the password? Is there
a secondary password for this account, and who will know it? Is the
user free to select passwords, or must they be automatically generated?
See "Checklist for Contributing to System Security""Checklist for Contributing to System
Security" on page 60 for a checklist of good practices for users.
What is the default device
and directory?
What is the default protection?
Are there quotas on disk
usage? If so, what are the values?
Are there restrictions
on use? For example, are there certain days or hours of the day that
are suggested or enforced? Explain primary and secondary days if applicable.
Are there files or directories
that are shared? If so, provide the details.
Are there ACLs that affect
the user? What identifiers does the user need to know?
Which privileges does
the user hold and what do they mean?
What is the command language
Which type of account
is this: open, captive, restricted, or interactive?
Which nodes permit proxy
logins for this user, if any?
What are the names of
the queues the user may need to use?
What actions should the

So since AtQ has been a bit of a ghost town as of late, as the only major things going on are track kicking ass and baseball limping to the finish, how about a sort of Ducks, sort of not survey to generate some banter? Oh, and as always, a poll.
1. If you could be any Duck athlete, past or present, for one season, who would it be?

4. Complete this sentence: Dan Fouts ________.
5. Favorite color?
6. Favorite sport to play and to watch?
My answers:
1. Aaron Brooks in 2006-2007. The big shots, the great play, the Elite Eight. That woulda been fun.
2. Walter Thurmond III. If you're an athlete, you're in the entertainment business. So entertain! We're outrageous suits, rock a sideways flat top for an entire season! Have fun! You can get away with a lot of stuff in terms of appearance and demeanor that you couldn't in most other jobs, so you might as well enjoy it. A close second would be Matt Humphrey.
3. Civil War 2008. And it's not close.
4. Dan Fouts should be hired away at any price to be Oregon's play-by-play announcer.
5. Orange. I know, right? Hey, I was a Giants fan first. Gimme a break.
