Sony's 13-inch Digital Paper is the first device to use a flexible e-ink display March 28, 2014 at 9:45 am
After almost a year of agonizing posturing by Sony, the semi-flexible 13.3-inch Digital Paper has finally been unveiled. For $1100, you can get your hands on the thinnest, lightest A4-sized e-ink tablet. The Digital Paper supports stylus input, has built-in WiFi, and lasts up to three weeks on a single charge. The key technology here is the new Mobius display from E Ink, which is very light and highly flexible — though it isn't clear how much of that flexibility made it into the final Digital Paper product.
FAA to permit smartphone and e-book reader usage during takeoff and landing September 24, 2013 at 8:59 am
Pressure has been mounting of the Federal Aviation Administration to change rules requiring that all electronic devices be turned off during takeoff and landing — the periods during which even slight anomalies in instrumentation could cause potentially disastrous results. The problem is that the evidence that a cell phone or GameBoy could cause such anomalies has long been questioned. This week, the FAA is expected to finalize its recommendation to heed this fact and relax the restrictions on the use of cell phones at any point in a flight.
Microsoft finally approves cheap 7- and 8-inch Windows 8 tablets, might merge Windows RT with Blue March 29, 2013 at 3:40 pm
It has taken almost six months, but Microsoft has finally given the green light to low-resolution (1024×768), 7- and 8-inch Windows 8 tablets. In related news, Microsoft's Windows RT woes continue, with a supply chain rumor that RT will be merged with Blue, due to an almost complete lack of consumer interest. Both of these stories highlight just how poorly Microsoft is doing in the tablet market.

Friday afternoon is all about the slag of snacks.
We usually hate adverts, but this is possibly the best one of all time and has stuck with us everytime we tear open those foil wrappers:
And with that in mind, we're tucking into the latest football-bonkers flavour of potnoodle. It's called, wittily, Golden (meat) Balls flavour (okay, not witty but we do appreciate the 'oo' in noodles being two shining testicles, rendering the football shirt into what is basically a big phallus). It's not spicy. It's not overly meaty. But it is very tomatoe-y.
By the way, yes that is our desk. We've actually tidied up a bit. Everyone is complaining about the smell, so I'm gonna waft a bit of poppers around the office, while playing our friday spotify playlist.

I should have been blogging…
By The Redneck Princess on Feb 29, 2012 with Comments 16
I am waiting for Bruce to get out of physio. (And no I didn't break him….) Sitting in the truck with the stinky dog and listening to tunes. It just occurred to me that I should be writing about something…anything.
But listening to tunes and doing nothing seemed to work for me for the first half hour.
And I don't really have anything insightful to tell you.
Unless you want to hear about the dumb grin that is still on my face.
Or how happy I am.
Or how much I want it to be summer…or at least spring. Mind you, today was a snow day. Snow days rock.
Or I could tell you that Bruce is being a brat today. It is anti bullying day, but I might have to beat him up by the end of the day. Or spank him…I am sure that will end with me not coming out winning. Or will it?
I could also tell you how much more I love Courtenay than Campbell River to shop…shops pretty much kick ass here. Well except the Garden Centres of course.
And now he is back to the truck…after being stuck with pins. Serves him right for picking on me all day :)
Happy hump day loves.

We are far behind. Baseball statistics are far past football statistics. Baseball has what you call advanced statistics, or sabermetrics. Sabermetics, as defined in dictionary.com, is the "computerized measurement of baseball statistics." All that we ever do on here is speculate which, don't get me wrong, I love reading, but I don't like to constantly hear David DeCastro is strong, fast, smart... Instead, get into the statistics. Yes, you can find statistics even on a guard. Tell me how many penalties he is going to save us, and then how many yards those penalties will save us. Or, how many sacks he will save us, and how that will affect Cassel. Look around, you will be able to find statistics on how Cassel performs when he isn't pressured. If we can figure out equations to get these "advanced statistics," it will give us all much more insight as to how the player will perform. What I am trying to get at is Football is viewed upon as a subjective, or opinionated, sport, so if we can get a head start and start making it objective, statistical, it will be a lot more interesting. In this article, I will show you how we can change it to objective, apply it to real players, and compare Peyton Manning to Matt Cassel.
Bill James, the statistical groundbreaker, revolutionized baseball. If any of you have seen the movie Moneyball, Bill James is the one who created that concept. Billy Beane just applied it to the A's. Bill James created hundreds of equations that truly give an insight as to how the player will perform. Some of these equations are Runs Created, Runs Saved, and Win Shares. All of these equations use traditional statistics, and combine to get a player down to one number. For instance, Alex Gordon's traditional statistics showed that he created 100 runs in 2011. Wait this is a football blog isn't it? Oh yeah, how to create them. Since we don't have the ability to put all of these statistics together, a logical way to project a players stats is to find the player's average, the league's average, then average those. All you need to do is look for just about every statistic you can find of a certain player, then just use logic. For example, say Jamaal Charles has 5 yards per carry for his entire career. Since Thomas Jones is leaving, figure out about how many carries Jamaal will have. Multiply that by Jamaal's 5 YPC. Once you have his projected yards, figure out the league average yards per TD, Jamaal's average yards per TD, then average them. Take that number and multiply it by Jamaal's projected yards. Now you have projected how many TD's he will score. Multiply that by 7 and now you know how many points he will create. It is fairly simple and very fun to do.
In my predictions, I compared Peyton Manning to Matt Cassel. My first equation is called QB TD efficiency(QTE). I first found the league average QTE. Last year, the league threw for 108,891 yards and 677 touchdowns. I simply divided TD/ Yards. I got a league average QTE of .0062172264 then I found that Matt Cassel had a .0068360635 QTE. So, I roughly predict that Matt Cassel will have a .006526649 QTE in 2012. I applied it to his current stats, and it was pretty accurate. For Manning, I found a .0066313275 QTE. That alone should give you a huge insight on Cassel. All that means is that Manning and Cassel are very similar in terms of TD/yards. Next, I needed to predict the yards thrown for Manning, which is obviously very difficult to do considering he is coming off of an injury, ending his career, and switching teams. So, I figured a rough estimate by comparison. I compared old Peyton to Joe Montana coming to the Chiefs. Montana's yards dropped an average of 268, or 8.9%, when coming to KC. So with his 2007-2010 statistics average, I predicted that, with the 8.9% taken off, Peyton would throw for around 4,300 yards. But now on to the comparison. Manning vs. Cassel. With a base of 500 attempts for each, I projected that Manning will throw for 3,461 yards, which equates to 23 touchdowns. Also using 500 attempts, Cassel will throw for 3312 yards, or 21 touchdowns. Now how I figured that out was I used the QTE * projected yards, and found the touchdowns throw. Now, obviously Peyton looks to be better, but the difference is with Peyton, you are paying $870,000 per TD while Cassel is just $250,000 per TD.
With my equation, you can look at it one of two ways. If money is not an issue at all, take Peyton. However, if you want to save about 15 million, settle for 2 TD's less and take Cassel. If Brian Daboll uses Cassel right and gives him about 500 attemps, look for Cassel to have major production. I would love to see someone else's perspective of this. I want you guys to evaluate Free Agents, current players, or anyone with your own method of creating advanced statistics. I would also love to see someone challenge my numbers and create different equations to compare Cassel and Manning. Thanks for your time.

Arriving in Toronto without a GPS
Toronto Travel Blog› entry 1 of 68 › view all entries
I arrived in Toronto just after lunch; I had flown in from Frankfurt after I had left Copenhagen in the morning. The flight had went faster than I expected it would feel, and I kind of liked the 1 1/2 hour break in Frankfurt Airport, because it was short and the final leg didn't feel to long.
I had been sitting at a window seat on 32nd row next to a nice guy from Syracuse, NY. He was married to a Czech woman and he had just been visiting her and her family in Czech Republic for a couple of weeks. His travel back so far had been a total nightmare of long connections and he had even missed one plane and was almost full day delayed. He was still in good mood and he even had 5 h stay in Toronto before his flight to Syracuse and driving from Toronto to Syracuse could easily be done in less than 4 hours.
I was in no hurry leaving the plane because I was at my final destination, so I took it easy and let all the other passengers leave before me. When I left the plane the Canadian Custom was greeting me with a severe check. I was taken out for further questioning and I passed after a couple of minutes of stress testing questions regarding my stay at Canadian soil. The immigration control was almost as bad as the one I experienced in Newark, NY and we were all standing in a line for more than 30 minutes; again I could not help measuring it and the line was close 500 meters when we stayed. When it became my turn it did not take that long to get the stamp in the pass, so I could move along in the process and could pick up my luggage down below.
I had rented a car in the airport by Hertz but when I came there they could not find my booking or let's say it was not prepared.
The car came without GPS with I had refused to pay for anyway because I found the price ridiculous expensive and I had therefore downloaded the entire map of USA and Canada on my Garmin GPS or so I thought.
I knew that I had booked the hotel close to the CN Tower and Bay Street seemed like a big street when I booked. I was following mostly by coincidence the awesome Queen Street until I bumped into Bay Street. The Marriot Toronto Down Town Hotel was huge and I drove into the parking area just at the main entrance. The same moment I parked a guy from the hotel asked me if I wanted a valet parking or I would use the self-service in the basement. I took the self-service because there was elevator going directly to their hotel.
Driving downstairs in the parking made me realize how big this hotel was; it was the largest hotel parking I seen in long time.
The room was really nice; I had received a corner room with windows on two sides, which made the room really bright. It was also fairly large given European standards; there was a nice sized closet to the left when I entered. Along the windows to Bay Street there was a nice large desk and a huge flat screen.
The bed was a king size that I looked forward to enjoy after my trip and the bathroom was okay in size and it had a tub that I rarely use because I prefer a shower unless I am really cold or tired.
My first choice was that I wanted to use the Internet and get some cold to drink. Much to my surprise there was not any minibar; more and more hotels seem to abandon that. I guess it gives a lot of administration and people cheat with them. I my case I was just damn disappointed because I had really looked forward to it because I was really thirsty.
I called the room service and ordered a couple of beer and some Pepsi's and 15 minutes later they where brought to my room by a really friendly waiter. They were in a bucket of ice and they were just what I needed.
I had planned to meet Andrea on the first day of my stay, but I was so tired when I first looked at the bed after a couple of beers in the room.

At this time of year, every game seems to swing back-n-forth; one minute one club has the momentum, the next minute its gone from them.
If the Capitals have proven one thing this season its that they will not make things easy on themselves.
As the Capitals prepared for their biggest game of the season Tuesday night against the Buffalo Sabres, more encouraging news came out of the trainers room.
Capitals coach Dale Hunter acknowledged before Sundays game against the Minnesota Wild that he was looking for a goalie to step up and have a good stretch run.
Braden Holtby is in and Alex Semin is out.
Holtby led the Capitals onto the ice for warmups tonight in Philadelphia, a sure sign hell get his second consecutive start between the pipes.

Okay I realize everyone's probably seen enough mocks already to make them puke. But please, try to swallow one more with the Messican's El Mock Mangifico. One thing about my mock is that it's pretty conservative on who's available when its time for the Steelers to select. I've seen some mocks that are just loaded with guys that just wont be there. It would be nice if we could get Sean Lee in the 4th, but hey it just aint happenin. For El Mock Magnifico I've used the prospect rankings of NFLDraftScout.com and Scout.com as reference points to "guestimate" when someone is available.
Another thing about my mock is that I tried to select solid character guys: guys that are smart, have strong work ethics, or have shown good leadership qualities. Contributions to special teams is also a theme in this mock.
1st Round - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Note: Potential Steeler prospects off the board are DWilliams, McClain, Haden, the 3 OT's, and Earl Thomas.
Picking the 1st round was probably the most difficult. Anyone's who's read any of my comments before will know I've argued pretty hard on getting a lineman. I was onboard early with Iupati back in January. I thought getting the most dominant interior lineman in the draft at #18 was the way to go. But even though Iupati is clearly a dominant run blocker, he needs some work on his pass protection, (he got abused by Geno Atkins in the Senior Bowl). And even though he has the potential to develop into an OT, there's a bit too many question marks to consider him at #18.
Pouncey is the only other interior lineman to consider in the 1st. . He is well rounded, could start off at guard, and would eventually replace Hartwig. But in the end, I didn't think he had as much value to the Steelers as Kyle.
I really like Jared Odrick and the thought of him teaming with Hood for years to come is enticing, but at #18 he is a slight reach, and in THIS draft there is absolutely no reason to be reaching. I really do like this guy, but I'll talk more about this situation in my 2nd round selection.
Kyle Wilson eventually trumps all for me because at #18 IMO he presents the most value and helps fill a need position. You can never have too many good CB's in this pass happy league, and we barely have ONE in Ike Taylor. Yes we drafted Burnett and Lewis last year, but they were mid-round guys, who (like William Gay) will be #2 corners at best. Adding Wilson significantly upgrades the CB position and lets Gay, Lewis, and Burnett battle it out for the nickel and dime slots. And remember, Ike is in his final year.
What I really like about Kyle is that he is a PLAYMAKER, something we desperately needed from the secondary last year. He is strong in all facets of the position: fast, smooth in the hips, with a great closing burst. He is not the best run support corner available in the draft, but I don't think he's terribly deficient in this area though (Chad Steuber of Scout.com even writes "He's willing to the do the dirty work and will step up in run defense.") Kyle comes to play in the biggest games and had an excellent Senior Bowl. Yes, he is a bit cocky, but I think we could use a little bit of swagger in the secondary and I trust the veterans to keep that part of his personality in check a bit. The fact that he's one helluva punt returner is just icing on the cake. I just noticed Hi5's post on Kyle before posting. Check it out for further info.
The guys is just solid in all areas and some even consider him as good a pick as Haden. At #18, I dont consider him a reach. NFLDraftScout has him ranked at #20 and Scout.com has him at #21, and we all know CB's typically get picked higher. As far as his character, I see him as a guy with a strong work ethic. After an early incident in college, he "re-dedicated" himself and has continually improved all aspects of his game. Warning: if tatoos turn you off, well this might not be your guy.
2nd Round – Alex Carrington, DE, Arkansas St.
With this draft being so rich in DL talent, I just couldn't see the Steelers passing up a DL in the 1st 3 rounds, not with the age of their starters. Carrington is a perfect fit in the 2nd round. He's a big, strong run-stuffing DE and can hold the line of scrimmage to free up plays to be made by the LB's. He doesn't have the explosion or pass rushing skills I think that Odrick has, but for what the Steelers need him to do, I dont think thats much of an issue. In the end, I just didnt see the Steelers gaining a whole lot by taking Odrick in the 1st, when this guy would be available in the 2nd. I think Wilson-Carrington trumphs Odrick-Burnett selections in the 1st 2 rounds.
He's also a smart guy that graduated with a 3.52 GPA. He is a father to a young son, so he's probably pretty mature for his age, and should not be out setting up VIP areas in night clubs. He also played on special teams in college.
Thanks to Big Jay for first tipping me off to Carrington..
3rd Round – Donald Butler, LB, Washington
I'm sure we've seen plenty other mocks that have my first 2 selections in them, but Butler is the one that seperates El Mocko Magnifico from the others. I've been pimpin this guy for months now, and he has slowly been climbing up the charts, especially with a solid Senior Bowl and a killer combine. Kiper now has him as the #3 rated ILB, behind McClain and Daryl Washington. Butler has excellent strength (eye popping 35 reps at the combine), good 4.6 speed, and is great in pass coverage. He has the size, skills, and athleticism IMO to play either the Buck or Mack position, and in college he played all 3 LB positions. Tomlin will LOVE his versatility.
With his athleticism, he has special teams STUD written all over him, and he played in 3 special teams units at Washington. He makes big plays in big games. He was voted team captain last year and is considered extremely bright by his coaches. Would love to see this guy in the Black and Gold.
4th Round – Selvish Capers, OT, West Virginia
If there's any choice where there is a question of availability, it is this one. This former TE was considered a 2nd round talent a few months ago, but after displaying extremely bad footwork at the combine, he is now considered to be a 4th round prospect. He improved somewhat on his Pro Day, so his stock may rise slightly. With this pick, the Steelers can get a project that Krugler can hopefully turn into our next starting LT.
5th Round – Ted Larsen, C, NC State
This guy is another El Mock Magnifico special. I've been touting him pretty good for some time now. He's been slowing moving up the charts and I'm starting to worry a bit about him still being there in the 5th. Kiper has moved him from the #5 center to #3 and for good reason. He's a converted DT and has only been playing C for 2 years. He's got good size (6-3", 305 lbs), great upper body strength, and will not be bull rushed. He's a high motor guy. I'm convinced he will be a mid-round steal. Getting him here is one reason I'm passing on Pouncey in the 1st.
5th Round Compensatory Pick – Myron Rolle, SS, Florida St.
This one's for all the Myron lovers out there. I'm really not a big fan of him, but I'm willing to thrown a late 5th round pick on him. I think he'll still be on the board. Could be good on special teams too.
El Mock Magnifico goes only 5 rounds deep. Anything past that is really just BPA. Other guys I really liked in the mid rounds, but had to back off of were Montario Hardesty (shy and has a spin move reminds me too much of Mendy), John Jerry (game sounds too much like Urbik), and Torrel Troupe (Hampton signing killed this).
Feel free to give some feedback. If you just want to acknowledge agreement you can just shout "ORALE HOMES!". Or if you think I'm way off you can say "Damn Messican, what you smokin?" Above all, I just hope it makes for entertaining reading.

May 2011 Archives
NORTH boys Graeme Gowland and Barry Burrell are looking good for a great potential battle in tomorrow's two Mirror.co.uk BSB-Evo races at Thruxton.
Gowland of Allendale, Northumberland, arrived back with the WFR Honda squad this weekend after missing the first three rounds after breaking his wrist in the first race of the year at Brands Hatch.
And now he is keen to make up for lost time, and has been a consistent top three Evo runner since he jumped back on board yesterday morning.

ALEX Lowes stamped his authority on the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship as he stormed to pole at Thruxton this afternoon.
The Lincolnshire rider grabbed the top spot in his first qualifying session since joining the MSS Colchester Kawasaki squad just over a week ago.
Not only does it make Lowes' first BSB pole, but it is also the first time the team has ever had one of its bikes head the grid.
By Mic Archbold, Images by Full Throttle Imaging.
THE HM Plant Honda of Shane Byrne outpaced Swan Yamaha's Tommy Hill in both of today's Free Practice Sessions at Thruxton.
Byrne came out strong from the outset, putting in a series of fast laps straight away, beating the Swan Yamaha of Hill by a quarter of a second at the end of the second session.
Byrne has already won four outings at this Hampshire circuit, three of which were in his title winning years, and he is keen to build on his victory at Croft two weeks ago.
IF there was ever any scintilla of doubt about where the power lies at Newcastle United, it was brutally removed yesterday.
By sending Joey Barton's agent packing without even the sniff of a contract offer yesterday, Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias sent a message. It was a clarion call to the dressing room, to the manager and to any agents presuming the club's need to recruit gives them a licence to make unreasonable demands - and it leaves no-one in any doubt that they are in firm control of events at St James' Park.
AFTER 38 games, roughly 57 hours of football (give or take some chunks of injury time) and a barrel load of blood, sweat and tears, how remarkable that in the end it all came down to the last 60 seconds of the season.
Early Cup exits combined with European dreams frittering away in mid-March meant the battle for regional bragging rites became the sole focus for Sunderland and Newcastle as the campaign wound to a less-than-compelling conclusion.
SHANE 'Shakey' Byrne is back on top in the points standings after a commanding victory in the second MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship race at Croft Circuit.
The HM Plant Honda rider more than made up for the disappointment of his bike blowing up while he was leading Race One earlier today as he sealed the win by almost two seconds.
Second man home was MSS Colchester Kawasaki's Stuart Easton, while Samsung Cresent Racing rider John Hopkins was third.
JON Kirkham took his maiden MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship win in a dramatic first race at Croft Circuit this afternoon.
The Samsung Crescent Racing rider edged out team-mate John Hopkins to make it a 1-2 for the popular team at the end of a hard-fought race which saw many of the big hitters struggle.
The start of the race was initially delayed as the changable weather conditions continued to play havoc at the Darlington track, and many of the teams took unusual gambles on tyre choice.
By Mic Archbold
TOMMY Hill rode through the pain and put his Swan Yamaha in top spot after free practice at the team's local track ahead of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship at Croft.
After a heavy fall which injured the ligaments of his left shoulder at Oulton Park, Hill was keen to put himself back on track in his championship bid, and this morning he was passed fit to ride.
And in true Tommy style he proved that he could.
LOCAL Evo hero Graeme Gowland has been forced to withdraw from this weekend's round at Croft Circuit.
The Allendale rider had hoped to make his comeback this weekend after breaking his wrist in a crash in the first race of the season at Brands Hatch.
But this afternoon he was devastated to have to pull out of his home round.
TEENAGE rookie Chrissy Rouse is gunning for a top ten finish this weekend at his home round of the Sunoco British 125GP Championship.
The Burnopfield youngster is looking to build on his 14th place finish at Oulton Park two weeks ago, at his and his SGR Racing team's local round, Croft.
Having raced at the North Yorkshire circuit as a pre-season warm-up in the NEMCRC event in March when he finished third, he is confident he can use his knowledge of the track to his advantage this weekend.

Election Day Eve Roundup
We don't have to tell you what tomorrow is. So, here's the state of things.
For general information, you can't beat Google's Voter Information site. Not only can you enter your address to find your polling place if you don't already know it, but once it knows where you are, it tells you everyone you'll be voting for, from federal elections to local.
As for the D5 race, SF Gate is calling it "the hottest race in town." Aside from being closely contested, the appointed supervisor Christina Olague has been heavily criticized for her vote to reinstate Mirkarimi. An "independent expenditure campaign" funded by Ron Conway has sprung up to unseat Olague, and SF Gate reports that so far they've raised $100,000.
Other scandals include Davis's "alleged groping incident", and London Breed's profanity-laden rant at the Fog City Journal (which she apparently stands by).
So far, nobody's been able to forecast which was the race will go. The Huffington Post reports that half of D5's residents haven't decided who they'll support on Tuesday.
Which, of course, makes it even more important that you get out there and vote!

The NHL's current collective bargaining agreement signed in 2005 states the following:
16.4 Active Roster Size; Playing Roster.(a) For the 2005/06 League Year and thereafter, there shall be a maximum of twenty-three (23) Players on each Club's Active Roster at any one time, provided, however, that, on the date of each season's Trade Deadline, a Club's Active Roster may be increased to any number of Players the Club, in its discretion, so determines, subject to Article 50 hereof.
The callups of Eric Tangradi and Brad Thiessen from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton give the Penguins 14 Forwards, 7 Defensemen, and 3 Goalies on the active roster. Thats 24 players. Sidney Crosby and Tyler Kennedy are listed on IR and do not count against the active roster limit.
So how are the Penguins pulling this off? That after the jump
I've asked the Penguins social media team a few times to confirm or deny this, but honestly I am sure I won't get the answer. Here is how the Penguins are keeping 24 players on the active roster, and not running afoul of the Collective Bargaining Agreement
16.13 Goaltender Exemption.
(a) On up to two (2) occasions during the course of the Regular Season and Playoffs, each Club will be granted a Goaltender Exemption to its Active Roster limit. Each Goaltender Exemption may last a maximum of forty-eight (48) hours. A goaltender Recalled under this provision will not count against a Club's Active Roster limit. However, for purposes of clarity, the Recalled goaltender's Player Salary and Bonuses will be included in calculating a Club's Actual Club Salary and Averaged Club Salary, and the Players' Share, for purposes of Article 50.
If this is the vehicle of Thiessen's recall, he will have to be returned to the Baby Pens within 48 hours of his call-up or the Penguins will have to make a roster move. The Penguins have to identify which injured goaltender the callup and exemption is for and file some paperwork with the league, so the Penguins and their media team should be able to tell their more informed fans how they are putting 24 players on the roster.
File that one under a Sam & Meesh fail. Either they don't know, or are unwilling to find out. I know I am not the only fan out there that wants to know how the team is facilitating the current roster situation. There are still 2 months left in this regular season. If a goalie exemption has been used per 16.13 that might be something worth knowing in the next 8 weeks.

DERRY — The students at Pinkerton Academy could have a totally new look next year.
Pinkerton administrators are considering a unified dress code for students next year. The policy comes after Headmaster Mary Anderson said too many students are wearing inappropriate clothing.
"Kids need to be dressed like they are going to school, not as if they are going to the beach," Anderson said Friday.
She has proposed an option where students would choose from a selection of clothes from a specified vendor. The clothes would be red and white, with the Pinkerton logo embroidered on the shirts.
Anderson said she didn't know how often students have violated the current dress code, but she said it was too often.
"The amount of time that our staff spends addressing dress code issues is ridiculous," she said. "Especially for our male staff, I don't like putting them in that position."
The Pinkerton dress code prohibits tank tops, dresses with spaghetti straps or any tops that have shoulder straps of less than two inches. Shorts and skirts can be no higher than knee length.
"Too much skin is being shown," Anderson said.
The proposal has caused a stir in the Pinkerton community, with parents and students having a wide range of opinions.
There was a meeting for parents Sept. 26 and students modeled some potential options.
"It's like Pinkerton Academy meets 'Sound of Music,'" said Beth Doherty, who has a sophomore at Pinkerton and two more children in lower grade levels. "We were told this would be a unified dress code. What was presented to us was a uniform."
One vendor which is being considered is Lands' End. Options including polo shirts, khakis and sweaters are available and specific Pinkerton options can be browsed on the company's website.
"I just don't get why we would have to go through Lands' End," said Rose Noetzel, who has a daughter who will be entering Pinkerton next year. "The cost is insane."

NFC North Spin cycle: Week Two
Here is our team-by-team take on the state of the NFC North following Week Two.
Packers' offense not reaching elite performance yet
The Packers are not firing on all cylinders right now offensively through two games.

NFC North Spin cycle: Week One
The Packers were a popular pick to win the NFC North, but after one game, they are looking up at the rest of the division.
The Green Bay Packers have placed Bishop on injured reserve, ending his season.||||||| Bishop tore his right hamstring in the team's first preseason game at San Diego. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said at the time that Bishop's season was in jeopardy. He had to have surgery, so Monday's move was widely expected.
The Packers ruled out Bishop and running back James Starks from Sunday's home game against Oakland.||||||| Bishop, the team's leader in tackles, will miss a second straight game because of a calf injury.
The Packers said Friday that Bishop won't play Sunday against the Giants.||||||| He suffered a calf injury in Green Bay's win at Detroit on Thanksgiving Day.
Bishop didn't get to join his teammates at the White House because he forgot his ID on the team plane. Bishop was sure he had his wallet when he got on a team bus from the airport to the White House last Friday, as the Packers prepared to finally make their lockout-delayed visit. When security began checking IDs, Bishop suddenly realized he didn't have his.||||||| Bishop says White House security wasn't willing to make an exception to let him in without identification, so he had to stay on the team bus. Bishop said he called his family, updated his Twitter account and took a nap while his teammates met President Barack Obama.
Bishop says the Packers began preparing for Ben Roethlisberger by watching video of how other teams failed to bring down the Steelers' big quarterback. The Packers could've been featured, too, in defensive coordinator Dom Capers' highlight package as they work toward Super Bowl on Feb. 6.||||||| Bishop says the video review was meant to remind them that there are no easy ways to bring a 6-foot-5, 241-pound person to the ground. Cornerback Charles Woodson says Roethlisberger is elusive enough to avoid a blitz and too big to trip up with just an arm tackle.

In a new study released Tuesday in the journal Brain, researchers demonstrate a promising new technique that will help people with paralysis.
Dustin Shillcox is paralyzed from the chest down. Moving his legs is out of the question. Or was.
Susan Harkema, a neuroscientist at the University of Louisville, has been working with Shillcox.
Doctors have implanted a device that sends electrical stimulation to his spine. When he turns it on, he can move on demand.
When the stimulator is turned off, he is unable to even sit up. His torso muscles don't work.
When the stimulator is on, Shillcox can sit up without any support at all.
"The first time I turned it on it was exciting and emotional for me at the same time," he said. "Emotional because I was told that I'd never be able to walk or move my legs again."
Shillcox is one of four patients in the new study that was published Tuesday.
Despite the patients' gains, none are able to walk on their own. The device only works when activating one leg at a time.
This is not the first example of electrical stimulation helping paralyzed patients, but experts say this technique may become another tool in the toolbox.
"I think what's incredibly exciting is we've opened up a realm of possibilities of what we can do now with people who are paralyzed and we've just scratched the surface," Harkema said.

Hitchcock starring Anthony Hopkins is about to hit the theatres today, November 23rd 2012. This film travels to the moment where Alfred Hitchcock started filming his movie: Pyscho. Considered as the master of suspense, Hitchcock goes through the motion on how he searched for the right actor to star in the film, how his wife Alma Reville (played by Helen Mirren) helped him create one of the most compelling of all time. This drama film also stars Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh and is directed by Sacha Gervasi. Hitchcock received numerous praise from critics and audiences all over the country. There is even talk that Helen Mirren deserves an Oscar nomination based on this film. So let's check out the latest movie review for this new movie: Hitchcock
"The Essence of Hitchcock Captured In Film
After HBO's The Girl showed us a corpulent Alfred Hitchcock sexually harassing Tippi Hedren on the set of The Birds, I worried that Hitchcock would be another dour study of a dirty old genius.
Nope. The master of suspense, played with incomparable style and mischievous wit by Anthony Hopkins in a fat suit, still fantasizes about his cool blondes in Sacha Gervasi's hugely entertaining Hitchcock. But he also manages to have lots of wicked fun directing 1960′s Psycho (his biggest risk and biggest hit) and collaborating with Alma Reville, the woman he married in 1926. It's a kick that the radiant Helen Mirren plays mousy Alma with the banked fires of a woman who seldom received credit for her contributions on scripting, casting and editing. You want to cheer when she tells the old boy off for his neglect. Mirren deserves an Oscar nomination for that scene alone.
Loosely adapting Stephen Rebello's 1990 book, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of 'Psycho,' director Gervasi (Anvil! The Story of Anvil) and screenwriter John J. McLaughlin (Black Swan), take larkish liberties with what did or didn't go on with the Hitchcocks in their separate beds. From this film, you'd never know they had a daughter, Patricia. But it's no lie that Hitch and Alma mortgaged their home to shoot a script the studio considered claptrap, including the now famous shower scene with Janet Leigh, done to a turn by a perky Scarlett Johansson. Hitch's alleged jealousy over Alma and writer Whitfield Cook (Danny Huston) is nowhere near as amusing as the hardsell he put on Psycho, warning patrons he wouldn't be responsible if they passed out from shock. Standing in the lobby at the Psychopremiere, Hitch conducts the shrieks he hears from the audience like a symphony of screams. It's a glory moment for Hopkins, who catches the essence of Hitchcock as artist and con man. Hopkins and Mirren are acting pros in stellar form. There's no way you want to miss the pleasure of their company in a movie that offers a sparkling and unexpectedly poignant look at how to sustain a career and a marriage."

The Christ Hospital soon will relocate hundreds of office workers to a nearby building, part of a major expansion aimed at becoming a national destination for high-end cardiac and other medical care.

News: UPDATE: Reebok Drops Rick Ross After Massive Backlash
Thursday, Apr 11, 2013 5:27PM
After non-stop campaigning by protestors and backlash from fellow hip-hop artists like Talib Kweli, Reebok has reportedly decided to end its business relationship and part ways with Rick Ross.
The mega sneaker company issued a statement on the huge move Thursday (April 11).
Athletic goods retailer Reebok on Thursday terminated its relationship with rapper Rick Ross, whose song featuring lyrics that seem to boast about drugging and raping a woman has caused an uproar. "While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse," Reebok, a subsidiary of Germany company Adidas, said in a statement. "At this time, it is in everyone's best interest for Reebok to end its partnership with Mr. Ross," it said. Ross had an endorsement deal with the company and promoted its shoes in print and TV commercials. (Reuters)
This week, Young Money's Tyga noted Ross simply exercised freedom of speech on a record he did not even own.
On Ross' verse on the Rocko song "U.O.E.N.O.", Tyga felt the situation was blown out of proportion. "It's freedom of speech," he said, "I mean it wasn't even his record." The rapper expressed that those criticizing Ross probably don't actually know all that much about him. "I mean activists, and all those righteous groups. That's what they do, they probably don't even listen to Ross's music. I know they don't know who Rocko is." he said, concluding that "they're just finding anything they can." (Hot New Hip Hop)
Along with Tyga's comments, MMG member Meek Mill spoke up for the "Boss" this week.
"I don't even care about nobody criticizing no lyrics. People rap about killing stuff all day. Biggie said, "Rape your kid, throw her over the bridge" back then, it was nothing, it was just hip-hop. Now you got all these weirdos on these social sites voicing their opinion about something anybody say. I don't care, you know what I'm saying? I'm from the hood. I never really cared about what nobody say in no rap. Rap's always been talking about killing, drugs, all types of stuff. You know what I'm saying? So you can't just criticize no one thing nobody say. It's imaginary visual. If a writer write about somebody getting raped in a movie, that mean he a rapist or he want girls to get raped? No, he just wrote about that in a movie. [Eminem talked about] you can kill your mom, kill your baby mom, rape her, tie her up. ... It's just different now. People can voice their opinion on a social site and become popular and people are turning it into any thing. Me? I don't care about that. You can say whatever you want. I take care of my family, I'm getting money, I'm living my life and I'm being me." (Urban Informer)
Cash Money/We The Best rapper Ace Hood recently defended Ross' lyrics.
Ross ain't that type of guy," Ace said in an interview. "You know what I mean? I've known Ross since I jumped in this music industry, he ain't mean it in no way that would be degrading to women or anything like that aura. [Why did he say it?] What they saying he said, he didn't say. You know what I'm saying, what they're saying. Bottle and champagne, something like that." ("Jenny Boom Boom")
Despite the support, Ross issued a public apology shortly before a protest outside of a New York Reebok store against him went down last week.
"I dont condone rape.Apologies for the #lyric interpreted as rape. #BOSS," Ross tweeted April 4th.
"Apologies to my many business partners,who would never promote violence against women. @ReebokClassics @ultraviolet" (Rick Ross' Twitter)

I think all birthdays should last for a
week weekend or so. I got two great days of celebration out of mine, plus some fun stuff coming next weekend too. That's the way I like it!
On Saturday (which was the actual B-day), we started off in our usual style, with a run on the trails with our dogs. We only went three miles, because we had a lot to do, but it is still a great way to start a birthday (or any day).
After showering and packing we headed toward Huntington Beach. We arrived right at lunch time, and since the twins were at the skateboard park, Alan and I headed to one of our favorite restaurants, Coach's Mediterranean Grill (appropriate, right?). We've been going there for years, long before we knew that we had grandchildren in Orange County. We always order the same thing (probably the only vegan choice on the menu), the Falafel Pita. Since it was my birthday, I even splurged and had French fries.
Our timing was perfect. Just a few minutes after we got to the house, the twins and their dad arrived home. After hugs all around, Alan took the boys to the beach to toss a football around, while I chatted with my stepson, John. He is feeling a little sorry for himself because he recently tore a calf muscle and is in pain and unable to do anything for a few more weeks. He even has to wear a boot!
When the boys came home, they saw that I was playing Words with Friends on my iPad. They were immediately interested. I checked to see if there was a kid's version, but there was not, so we downloaded the free version and I had them start a game with Grandma. I hope they will keep playing because I know it will help improve their vocabulary. Though playing at a third grade level is a little challenging on this end!
Alan and I had babysitting duty that evening, something we're always happy to do. Lisa, our daughter-in-law made sure the boys ate before they left. That meant I just needed to cook for Alan and myself. It was a little strange but I cooked up some mandarin "chicken" that Lisa had in the freezer, and tossed it with a little lettuce, cilantro, and other vegetables to make a salad that was actually very good.
In the morning, Alan and the boys went to Starbucks to pick up our coffees and their hot chocolates, then we were off for our run. We love that the boys want to run with us whenever we visit and they are getting really good! We ran 3.3 miles, with only a couple stops (and most of those were for pictures).
Then we showered and got ready to head south to San Diego, where we were visiting Nathan, Sarah and Samuel! They just moved to a new place, where they have more room and a nice yard!
My grandson is getting so big! At 11 months old, he is over 20 pounds, almost walking, and he still has the same cheerful personality and smiling face that he has had since the beginning. His hair seems to form a natural mohawk, which Nathan thinks is because of the helmet that Samuel wore for about four months. However he got it, it looks pretty cool. We spent time playing with Samuel (and watching the Chargers blow their game) then headed to lunch at a local Thai restaurant.
We were very fortunate in our restaurant choices this weekend. At Spices Thai Food, Alan and I ordered the vegetarian Yellow Curry. On the lunch special it came with coconut soup, brown rice, salad, springs rolls, and more!
And then it was time to go home. A great weekend that went way too quickly.
In the spirit of week long birthday celebrations, I plan to keep this one going for at least another week. Friday my younger son David is taking me to lunch, then Alan and I head to Malibu, where we will have a more grown up celebration (dinner at Hugo's!), he will announce the Malibu Marathon, and I will hopefully get a chance to finally meet my blogging friend Lisa.

Road safety call to cut back hedges (From Falmouth Packet)

Road safety call to cut back hedges
Updated 10:25am Thursday 14th February 2013 in Truro
Now is the time to check whether your hedges and trees need pruning, particularly by the roadside, and to carry out any required work, say highways experts Cormac.
Maintenance is needed to ensure that the county's roads are safe for motorists, cyclists, horse riders and pedestrians. This includes vegetation along pavements and public rights of way.
With over 4,500 miles of road in Cornwall, many bordered by hedges, bushes and trees, boundary hedges on private land are the responsibility of the landowner or occupier.
Overgrown hedges growing over pavements can force pedestrians out into the road, putting them at risk from passing traffic.
They can also cause problems for delivery vehicles serving farms - the loss of a wing mirror can result in a repair cost of £500 and a side sheet, if torn, can cost in the region of £2,000 to replace.
The vehicle owner can try and reclaim these costs from the owner of the property concerned.
The Cornwall Highways leaflet Cornish Roadside Hedge Management offers advice to landowners on how and when to cut hedges to ensure road safety is not compromised and to encourage biodiversity.
The leaflet was produced with input from 'The Cornish Hedge Group' - 18 voluntary and statutory organisations concerned with farming, conservation and public interests in Cornwall.
More information can be found at www.cornwall.gov.uk – type 'Cornish Roadside Hedge Management into the search engine.

You have in place lots of pretty red signs saying temporary road surface, presumably as a legal get out clause, however, the question remains, how long is 'temporary' ?

It works both ways.

Cleveland State pitches in for 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition'
CLEVELAND - UNO Bar and Grill was the place to be for Cleveland State students and alumni to watch "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" Sunday night.
Alumni and students who chipped in to help the Anderson family of Maple Heights took time out of their schedule to get together and relive the experiences of helping a family in need.
Doris Chandler of Cleveland was all smiles as she watched NewsChannel5's half hour special before the big show. Chandler was only allowed to work one day, but would have loved to have been there from start to finish.
Chandler's job for the day was to peel all the labels off the water bottles. The show was not allowed to have any advertising. She said it was a long, tedious task but loved doing it. Everyone doing their small part helped.
That also goes for Darius Houston. He is a Cleveland State cheerleader. The squad was out there to cheer on the president of CSU, who awarded three scholarships to the Anderson family.
The project was a great way for the community to help out and let the Anderson family make this holiday season special.
Another individual who offered to help the Anderson family is veterinarian Evan Morse, who offered free vet services to the family's seeing eye dog for one year.

More energy – more events – for LA Fashion Week Spring 2014
We're seeing an uptick in Los Angeles Fashion Week event productions — and a renewed sense of optimism — as we enter the Spring 2014 season this October. Perhaps it was this story in the New York Times a few weeks back, or perhaps it is because the creative air in Los Angeles is simply undeniable.
Find event dates and links to the individual productions taking place across Los Angeles updated regularly on the FashionWeekLA Calendar here.
This season, LA Fashion Council collections move to The Grove, LA's flagship outdoor mall in the center of the city. Style Fashion Week — long counting Vibiana as home — moves to LA Live, the retail, restaurant and events venue adjacent to Staples Center and the LA Convention Center. The LA Convention Center will host a few fashion concepts as well, with Vintage Fashion Expo making the move downtown after the quaint mid-century Santa Monica Civic Auditorium was closed for good. Concept Fashion Week refreshes as the more narrowly edited Concept Los Angeles, choosing Quixote Studios for its presentations this season.
And the calendar diversifies. A new "TED-like" conference event, Fi3, will debut at Lot613 in the burgeoning Arts District. Men's Fashion Week LA will make its debut at the California Market Center during Market Week. (Market Week is when all the fashion showrooms and trade shows are open.) Nearby, Africa Fashion Week LA will take place at 525 DTLA. Two plus-sized events grace the schedule this season (Haute Curves and Posh LA) and we'll see the return of the MAFI (Moss Adams Fashion Innovator) Award with the Fashion Business Inc event "All Aboard….LA's Fashion Platform" at Union Station. And this just in: a new Driven By Design LA platform for fashion and interior design will debut at the L.A. Mart.
LA's nightclubs offer an entirely different scene during LA Fashion Week with the return of Project Ethos at Avalon, Fashion Minga at Exchange LA, newcomer "Rock That Fashion" at Boulevard 3 plus a new art+fashion concept "Wayward" downtown at Kresspro Studios.
But isn't it supposed to be all about the DESIGNERS? While most up-and-coming designers will choose to present at one of the above-mentioned productions, there are several who will show on their own. Among them: Sue Wong will host a private invitation-only event at Club Cicada, and Irene by Greg LaVoi has chosen the delightful Japanese Rooftop Garden at the former Kyoto Grand Hotel in Little Tokyo. Designers and their Muses will also gather at the Sofitel on October 3, before LA Fashion Week begins.
Where will you be? Tweet your whereabouts with hashtag #FWLA to let us know. We'll follow there and at #LAFW. You just might find us retweeting @FashionWeekLA.

Great coastal views from the bluffs and all trails are kid friendly, except after heavy rains. The best time for viewing the Monarch butterfly is December through February, but they begin arriving as early as October and are usually gone by the end of March. However, this is a great place for family hikes all year round.
