Over at Daily Dojo writer Joshua James quoted some info yesterday that applies directly to what we are seeing with JAX and Monta. I think Fear The Beard was on the right track, but this sounds exactly like what we are dealing with.
"The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which "people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it".[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than actuality; by contrast the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to a perverse result where less competent people will rate their own ability higher than relatively more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence because competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. "Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."[1]"
In layman's terms, people who don't really know what they're doing tend to believe that they're much better at it than they actually are … and people who do know what they're doing tend to think they're not as good as they actually are.
JAX and Monta have had some great moments. I will not deny that. But neither is a player a team should, or can, build around....neither is an All Star caliber player....neither knows how to be a leader....neither one knows it.
You have to wonder if they would have reached this point if they spent the meat of their playing years in Detroit or LA (or San Antonio?!) with really great players and coaches. The Warriors have been in a state of disarray for so long that they had to treat these two guys like saviors instead of like the role players they are. These two players may not be able to function properly anywhere now except on other decrepit teams.
I fear they may be facing a premature demise soon like Allen Iverson because no team can figure out how to use them despite an uncanny amount of talent. I wouldnt wish that on anyone (except Cohan and Rowell...ok maybe Sarah Palin too).
Anyone think there is a way to save Monta? Considering how few years you get in this league, I fear he is a lost cause already.

U.S. Supreme Court
Retirement Offers US Supreme Court Justice Souter a Chance to Read and Meet Meryl Streep
Posted Sep 12, 2011 4:25 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Retirement has allowed former U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter a long-awaited chance to catch up on his reading in between stints on the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals bench.
But he had to move to another home in New Hampshire instead of returning to his longtime abode, described by the Washington Post as a ramshackle farmhouse, because he was advised that it risked collapse under the weight of his book collection, the newspaper reports.
In its latest issue, Harvard Magazine offers not only details about Souter's reading list but this firsthand gem concerning his post-retirement meeting with Meryl Streep, as both awaited the award of honorary doctorates from Harvard.
Initially, "she happened to be somewhat ahead of me in the cohort of honorands processing into the New Yard between rows of regular degree candidates, and we were just about at the corner of Widener when one senior boy reluctantly took his eyes off the eminent actress and noticed me," Souter recounts. "He smiled with diminished voltage as he said, 'You're no Meryl Streep.'"

So close. So very, very close to snagging a win outside the confines of Memorial Stadium. Don't let it get you down though, boys, because the Cyclones of Iowa State should be very huskable as long as you're still holding onto the same keys as last week, but while one key remains, two new ones come into the picture.
1.) K.I.S.S. – You can refer to this as "Remember the Red Raiders" if you'd like. What was shown against Tech was near perfection for this team and while that usually brings a letdown the week after, Austen Arnaud is not Graham Harrell nor does he have a Michael Crabtree. That being said, it brings me to the next key:
2.) Remember San Jose State! – In Lincoln, SJSU showed how this team did initially against mobile QBs and let's face it. No one is always fantastic against a mobile quarterback. If a QB that was a dual threat was no good, they wouldn't be recruited like they're the hot commodity that they are. Austen Arnaud may not be a passing fiend (nor may his receivers be helping him in that aspect), but he is a danger in both areas. A spy will be needed to keep Arnaud in check. My vote goes to Eric Hagg (honestly it goes to Asante, but that won't be happening).
3.) Please…let…go – Holding and false start. If I hear those four words again when referencing a Nebraska game this season I think I'll go loony. Hey, I understand that there are "certain levels" of holding. The point is not to make it blatantly obvious! If your man's going to get sacked for 4 yards and you help him stay upright but give up 10, who does this help? Certainly not you. Go back and watch the Tech game's starting lineup and the line that was in at the end. Notice any differences? I did.
In summary: As long as Nebraska can work with the offense that Shawn Watson put out there for all to see against Texas Tech and the defense can click about 50% of the time, ISU should be Nebraska's first road win of the season. Keep Arnaud under your thumb and please, for the love of everything sacred and holy, you know the snap count, linemen. Use that information.

First I am going with the assumption that the Pacers match the deal for Hibbert because for starters they have the cap space and it would be really stupid for them not to match and we all know that Kevin Pritchard is not stupid what so ever. The Knicks have their sights on Steve Nash and appear to be leading to acquire his services. It would probably take a sign and trade and the Suns would do it because their front office will agree if this is where Nash wants to play.
Houston has set up a meeting with Lin but I doubt if he signs there because they still have Lowry (who wants to be traded) and also FA PG Goran Dragic who wants to stay in Houston but reports say they are far apart on salary. I think Houston really wants to keep Dragic and might be using Lin as leverage in negotiations.
So that leaves Portland who has ran through quite a few PG over the last 5-6 seasons with no one really worth keeping on a long term bases. Lillard could change that given time but why throw a rookie to the wolves especially with him coming from a conference that lacked legit opposition on a night to night bases. There have been whispers about maybe Billups signing here in Portland giving that Olshey brought him to LAC last season but Billups has already stated that he wants to return to LA and I doubt if Allen would want to overpay on a 35 year old PG coming off ripping his achilles.
Jeremy Lin is a very good shooter and could make things so much easier for LA who hardly ever gets any easy baskets because the PG that we have had could not break their man down on defense and get in the paint and cause opposing big men to have to react. Lin lived in the paint this season and If the Blazers could ever get a PG who can do this and also knock down open jumpers could really turn LA into a superstar. He has never had this since playing in Portland. I think that Lillard and Lin could be a great 1 2 combination.

Welcome to The Swim Scout, a site that dives into the statistical analysis of swimming.
The Swim Scout is an engine that brings to light a statistical analysis approach to the competition, training, and business aspects of swimming.
Founded by Elliot Meena, The Swim Scout is a collaborative effort of many swimmers and journalist who believe that for a sport like swimming, where time is the measurement of success, statistical analysis can provide a different angle for coaches and swimmers to develop race strategies based on relative, rather than absolute, results.
Through monitoring and measuring a variety of metrics, both physical and mental, The Swim Scout uses data-driven results to unite a broad audience of swimmers and coaches, giving the phrase 'training partner' a new definition.
Through a variety of articles and case studies, The Swim Scout produces a unique view of swimming for members of a Club, High School, Collegiate, Elite, Masters, or Triathlon program to use in their training and competition.
By using a relative percentile approach when measuring the different components of swimming, The Swim Scout can assist coaches and swimmers with developing tailored race strategies around specific strengths.
Not every swimmer is created equal. Some are taller with longer wingspans, while other swimmers have more flexible ankles. Features such as these should not be overlooked when strategizing and using a relative approach does not disfavor any swimmer of any skill level.

I would guess that every single person who takes Tysabri (or even thinks about it) is aware of this risk and has given at least some thought to PML. For some people, it is a huge, looming, menacing "monster in the closet" that they must constantly work to keep in there by reminding themselves that the statistics are on their side and that Tysabri is the best choice for them. For other people, it is a passing worry that is minimized by the positive impact Tysabri has on their lives and disease progression.
Some experts have thought that the risk of PML can be minimized by putting patients on a "drug holiday," a structured interruption of treatment that can be resumed at the end of the decided-upon period (usually 6 months). However, serious questions are now being raised about the wisdom of this approach.
What Does the Evidence Show?Researchers at The Multiple Sclerosis Center at the University of San Francisco decided to take a look at the records of 84 patients who had received 12 or more infusions of Tysabri (the patients had received a median 18 infusions). Of these patients, 68 (81%) interrupted treatment and 16 (19%) continued with monthly infusions. Here is what they found:
- Nineteen (28%) of the patients who interrupted their treatment had a relapse within 6 months of stopping. The median time that patients relapsed was 3 months after the last dose.
- None of the patients who stayed on Tysabri had a relapse in the same time period (researchers looked at months 12 to 18 of treatment).
- There were no "clinical predictors" that could be connected to which patients had relapses -– in other words, researchers couldn't figure out why some people had relapses and others didn't. That also means that there is no way to predict this risk in future patients at this point.
- Of the 19 patients who had relapses, 7 of these relapses were "severe," meaning that there were an average of 16 "active" or Gd+ lesions showing up on MRI scans. During these relapses, the median EDSS score went from 3.0 to 6.0. As reference, this means that 10% of the people who took a drug holiday had one of these severe relapses.
- Only 4 patients (6%) took another disease-modifying therapy after they stopped Tysabri. None of these patients had a relapse.
In another small observational study in the Netherlands, 10 people were put on a Tysabri drug holiday and watched closely for 6 months after stopping Tysabri. Seven of the 10 patients had a relapse.
What is the Rationale Behind a Tysabri "Drug Holiday"?We are now seeing that the risk of PML is higher in people who have been on Tysabri longer than 2 years. The risk goes from .01/1000 in people who have had fewer than 12 infusions, to more than 2/1000 in people who have had more than 24 infusions.
One of the effects of Tysabri is to reduce T cells (especially CD4 cells) in the cerebrospinal fluid, which is what makes it possible for the JC virus to gain a foothold and cause PML (this is also what happens in people with AIDS, as PML is an "opportunistic infection"). The idea behind a drug holiday is to give the body, namely the immune system, a chance to rebuild its defenses against the JC virus.
However, it seems like in many cases, that "rebuilding" happens too fast and too hard and causes the problems below.
Why Does This Happen?
No one knows exactly why these relapses occur, but there are a couple of mechanisms (which actually seem interrelated) that point to an explanation:
Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS): IRIS is a condition that occurs when a depleted immune system starts rapidly rebuilding itself. This can happen when the levels of Tysabri are lessened in the body and no longer putting "pressure" on the immune system by keeping the numbers of certain immune cells low.
This upsurge in immune activity can lead to inflammation, which can be dangerous in the brain. IRIS is now added to the "black box" warning on Tysabri as a risk following the rapid removal of Tysabri from the bloodstream by plasma exchange following a PML diagnosis. However, it may also occur when Tysabri is depleted naturally during a drug holiday.
Rebound Effect: The Tysabri "rebound effect" refers to the phenomenon noted by scientists looking at MRI scans from people who had to stop infusions when Tysabri was temporarily withdrawn from the market in 2005. A Dutch group found that former Tysabri users had an average of 3 times as many T2 lesions compared to before starting Tysabri. The scans were taken 15 months after stopping therapy. (Read more: The Tysabri Rebound Effect)
Bottom Line
If your doctor suggests that you take a drug holiday from Tysabri, ask what his/her rationale is. There may be a very good reason for this. New data is being released all the time, as well as more precise testing for JC virus antibodies, which could point to a heightened risk of PML that your doc is using for guidance.
If, however, your doc just shrugs and says that you have been on Tysabri a long time and it just "seems like a good idea" to take a drug holiday, make sure that he or she is aware of the risk of relapse after stopping Tysabri, and the real chance that it could be a severe relapse. Ask your doctor if he or she has considered putting you on another disease-modifying therapy during the proposed drug holiday. See if your doc has experience with Tysabri drug holidays in other patients.
To be clear, I do not know what the correct answers are here. However, I do know that this is the time for a frank discussion with your doctor. Your doctor may not have all the answers either, but should at least be able to discuss his or her recommendation with you in a way that makes sense and allows you to come to a mutual decision as to the best course of action for you.

His practice Wednesday, Pennington said, "was one of the best practices I've ever had as a Dolphin. I feel so good physically. I think I can make all the throws you need to make in this offense, and I'm really comfortable with what we're being asked to do this week.''
Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/11/12/week10/index.html#ixzz1590VCKAg
ok - lets read this quote very carefully and see if we can find out, how this staff has proven itself incompetent....
got it???
yup, pennington just said that he can make all the throws you need to make in this offense....EXCUSE ME?? DID I READ THAT CORRECTLY???
now supposedly this staff said they've been grooming chad henne to be the long term QB position.. got that... big kid, big arm, has physical skills few qb's can match... you go 13 games last year with him as your qb and then go into the offseason with the belief that he is your qb... and coming out of the offseason you design an offense where chad pennington can make all the throws in the offsense... a guy know for short controlled touch passes, who can't throw outside the hashes.
no real disrespect intended here to the penne... but there is no football world where chad henne and chad penne have the same football skills... penne is just incapable of making some of the throws henne makes... and he should be doing frequently (his strengths afterall)
so what does this really mean?... it means that henning and sparano spenta 3 years with the idea that henne will be THE QB of the team... they spent and entire off season with the belief that Henne would be the QB for the upcoming season and yet ... they don't modify their offense to the skill set of the most important player on the field... seriously
what does that tell us.... these guys are NOT the best nor the brightest....
it's time to move on tony and dan... lets go get rob ryan and have some fun......

Saturday morning. Early. Head blurry thanks to flagbearers of Turkey and Norway and Paraguayan javelin thrower (amongst others). Stumble out of bed get on bike. Apparently the Olympics are on. Can't quite believe it until I try to cross the road race course on the Fulham Road. Barriers are up and bunting is flying.
But I must plough on. I have date with Box Hill. At Clapham Junction I meet up with maratsafin and Jorge. We form a little peloton and hightail through some of the less salubrious parts of southwest London. As we get closer to Box Hill there are more and more cyclists. We charge on past.
There's a big queue at the foot of Box Hill. Bikes parked and security cleared we're on Zig Zag Road with a few thousand others. I wonder who they're supporting?
The crowd is clearly partisan. And some of its members of it can't spell very well.
But it's not all British. A Belgian has made it...
And a few Dutch keeping their end up with their normal gusto...
Then before long the helicopter was overhead...
Then the cops having fun clearing the road...
And then the break was here!
Then it was the peloton. Guess who was on the front?
And then the peloton kept coming and coming...
And then some poor guys tailed off by a crash before the hill - races already over
Then the riders were off and up the climb.
And that was the pattern for the next few laps.
GB lead peloton.
Growing number of stragglers.
Mick Rogers provided some diversion with a pointless attack.
And Korean Park showed grinta, plugging away having been dropped first by the break then my the peloton. 모자.
Then there's an attack! Nibali goes. Gilbert and another Belgian chase.
Gesink chases
A Danish rider too while Millar ponders what to do on the front of the peloton
At this point we start heading down the climb, taking some arty photos.
Watching GB chase.
In retrospect they should have followed the advice on this chaps T-shirt
Off the climb - maratsafin models the drawbacks of cycling shoes
We charge down the road to a local vineyard and park up the bikes.
They've set up a big screen and there are hundreds watching in the sunshine.
As we arrive Gilbert is on the rampage but things are looking good for GB. The break has a only a minute and there's 50km of flat roads to go. But the break doesn't come back. Excitement turns to concern. A groan as Cancellara crashes in Richmond Park. The nerves in the break in palpable. Uran and Vino get away. Uran gets punked in the last 300m. Time to go home. A fast 30km does just that.
A wonderful day, even if the result wasn't what I - and most of the millions on the course - wanted. But fear not Sunday brought another race and another chance this time for the women. So I toddled over to Putney to see them on the run out.
The weather had been wonderful for the men but today didn't look like it would cooperate today.
Damp and cold we wait for the race to arrive. Then up the High Street they come, a Brazilian off the front.
The fun-sized peloton follows
And then they're off to a rollicking race and an excellent outcome.
I'll confess I'm not sure the rest of the Olympics is worth it - but I'd be very happy to have more of this kind of racing on London's streets and in the surrounding countryside.
This is only a selection of my photos. More on my flickr account if you want to peruse them.

Montgomery County schools are trying to identify students who are not likely to graduate high school.
A new study from the school system shows students could show signs of becoming dropouts as early as the first-grade.
It found that students were five-times as likely to drop out if they were suspended once in first grade.
The Washington Post is reporting that officials hope to use the study as a road-map to lower drop-out rates and improve academic achievement.

Blackburn Rovers Ladies book county final spot
Updated 1:03pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in Football
BLACKBURN Rovers Ladies booked their place in the final of the Lancashire FA Women's Challenge Cup with a 5-3 semi-final victory at home to plucky Padiham.
Goals from Evie Manning, Nichol Forster, Vicky Westerman and Hannah Forster fired Rovers into a 4-0 lead at the break.
Padiham improved after the restart, scoring three times, but Sophie Flynn added her name to the score sheet to secure the favourites' safe passage to an 11th successive final, where they will meet either Morecambe or Preston.
Rovers started strongly and the breakthrough arrived on the quarter-hour mark when Manning received the ball on the right flank before firing a long-range effort over the Padiham goalkeeper from 30 yards.
Rovers continued to create opportunities and added a second when Rio Hardy fed the ball through to Nichol Forster, who coolly slotted home.
Westerman added a third, picking out the bottom corner from just outside the box after good combination play in midfield, before Hannah Forster got in on the act by hammering in a fantastic free kick.
Rovers made three changes at the interval, completely changing their midfield, which resulted in a sluggish start to the second half. Padiham reduced the deficit when a long ball forward was allowed to bounce in the box and ended up in the back of the net.
But Rovers restored their four-goal advantage when Flynn's first-time shot flew in. With the tie seemingly won, the hosts switched off and the visitors pulled a goal back when a Padiham player headed home unmarked from a corner.
Rovers played out the final 20 minutes with 10 players after Hardy was forced off with an ankle injury and a Padiham penalty late on gave the scoreline a closer look.

IVP - Intravenous PyelogramSearch all Services >>
An intravenous pyelogram is a type of X-ray examination specifically designed to study the kidneys, bladder, and ureters (the tubes which carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder).
After iodine-based contrast dye is injected intravenously (into a vein), a series of images are taken at timed intervals. The kidneys are responsible for removing contrast dye from the blood and collecting it in urine.
Abnormalities in the appearance of the kidneys or ureters, distribution of contrast within a kidney, asymmetry in the amount of contrast in each kidney, or defects in the collecting systems can be identified and are suggestive of particular diseases and conditions.

Almost a month after Superstorm Sandy pummeled the East Coast, Michele Smith drove to Chino Hills to pick up scarves.
"The people at the Calvary Chapel Church there made 200 scarves throughout the year, and they said we can have them," Smith said. "These will help a lot."
Following the massive October storm, the boys water polo team at Vista Murrieta High School organized "CAUSE We Care — A Coast to Coast Teen Outreach" to collect warm clothing for high school students in the New Jersey area.
That effort has since come to include high schools in both Temecula and Murrieta.
Smith, whose son is a member of the water polo team, was involved with Operation Backpack, a local effort in 2005 to send clothes and supplies to children who were victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The hope then was to collect about 100 backpacks filled with necessities and get them to kids in need.
Southwest County responded in a big way and thousands of backpacks filled with supplies were collected and sent to the Gulf Coast.
This time, Smith hoped to collect about 2,000 duffel bags filled with clothing for Sandy's teenage victims. So far, that number is closer to 200.
"It's a very different climate this time around," said Smith. "The finances are different."
Trying to collect donations during the holiday season, when there are many good causes people want to help, has also been difficult, she said
"We can't pick when these storms are going to arrive," Smith said.
Sandy, which slammed the mid-Atlantic region on Oct. 29 and 30, is being called the most damaging hurricane ever to strike the United States. Last week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gave a preliminary damage estimate in his state as $29.4 billion. Overall damage to the region has been estimated as high as $62 billion.
The local group, with help from the New Jersey governor's office, has identified seven high schools, and about 10,000 students, where the need was greatest.
"This storm hit some affluent areas," Smith said. "But it also hit many lower-income areas. Some of those people there are still living in shelters."
Local organizers are asking for a duffel bag filled with a new or gently used winter coat, new tights or socks, new flannel pajamas and new gloves and beanies.
"We're trying to do the basic essentials," Smith said. "If people can't give all of these things, we hope they can give some of them and we'll bundle them together."
The group also asks people to include a note of encouragement inside the duffel bag for the teens.
Donations can be dropped off at Paradise Chevrolet — which made a $5,000 donation to kick off the effort and is challenging other businesses to help — on Ynez Road in Temecula or at the customer service booth at The Promenade mall.
Cash donations are also being accepted at the dealership.
Smith says the group is trying wrap up its efforts this week so members can get the warm clothes on their way.
Snow flurries are forecast this week in New Jersey, and the need for the warm clothing is great.
If you have questions, call Smith at 949-572-9209 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Women's soccer downs FIU, 2-1, in exhibition opener
Even in preseason games, coaches always want to see how their teams respond to competitive situations. The JU women's soccer team showed promising signs in its first action of the season, posting a 2-1 win over FIU in an exhibition match on Friday evening in Melbourne, Fla.
Junior Becca Massip and sophomore Raquel Weckhurst scored first-half goals for the Dolphins, providing enough offense to secure the win.
"It was good to play against another team and we came out well," head coach Brian Copham said. "There are a few things to work on, but overall, it was a good performance and it was good for our freshmen to get on the field for their first college game."
Massip opened the JU attack, scoring off Liz Fink's corner kick. Fink showed the playmaking ability she also demonstrated in 2010 when she led the Dolphins with seven assists. Massip, who netted two goals last year in starting all 20 games, displayed the offensive touch that helped her register nine points as a sophomore.
The Dolphins also saw positive signs from Weckhurst. The second-year forward capitalized on Jessica Hurtado's feed for JU's second goal, recording the game-winning strike. Weckhurst appeared as a reserve in 12 games last year and will be looking to expand her role in the new campaign.
JU will commence the regular season with a neutral site game against Coastal Carolina on UNF's campus on Sept. 19. With a week before the games count, Copham said he's been happy with his team's progress as the Dolphins look to improve off a 13-5-2 showing last year.
FIU finished 11-9-1 in 2010.
"Overall, I was pleased with the effort throughout the 90 minutes," Copham said.

When you hear "DIY," what do you think of? For me, it's drill bits, primer, moodboards, and paint cards (the more the better). I'm guessing most of us also think along those lines when we hear "DIY."
In reality, we DIY in many different ways; we just don't realize it. Cooking, cleaning, gardening, healing, even exercising can be DIY activities. DIY isn't just for our homes, it's also for our bodies, minds, and souls.
I've come to a turning point with The DIY Homegirl. I've felt the need to connect with more people plus I the pressure of creating material that's fresh and unique—while only about decorating. That's where the expansion comes in: my blog is going to be more DIY and more Homegirl. Read along to find out more!

There is a noticeable range in wealth from neighborhood to neighborhood in Algonquin with the majority of the village's highest income earners living west of Algonquin's downtown area and in subdivisions near Randall Road.
But even the neighborhoods with the lowest household incomes are still well above the statewide median household income and are also higher than the state's range for middle-class income, according to Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks, an online tool that combines Google Maps with the most recent Census data to show income and rent prices.
One of Algonquin's wealthiest neighborhoods is located west of Fairway View Drive, east of Square Barn Road and South of Bunker Hill Drive, which is also in the area of the Terrace Hill Golf Course.
There, the median household income is $106,635, according to Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks. In comparison, the median household income in Illinois is $56,576 and the statewide middle-class income range is $48,084.20 to $59,245.40.
Immediately west and northwest of these neighborhoods — which includes subdivisions south of Algonquin Road and north of Square Barn Road to — the median household income is around $94,000.
For famlies living immediately east and west of Randall Road, from Algonquin Road south to North County Line Road, which includes the area surrounding Jacobs High School, the median household income is around $103,000. A little further south on Randall Road, in an area east of Boyer Road and west of Sleepy Hollow Road, the median income is slightly higher at about $105,000.
The less-wealthy neighborhoods are mainly located on the east side of Algonquin.
Neighborhoods east and west of Main Street — and just north of Route 62 — earn a median household income of around $73,000. Another area where families earn the same income is located north of the Fox River and east of Route 31 in the neighborhoods just south and north of Cary Road.
The median household income for families living north of Algonquin Road, south of the Fox River and west of Haligus Bend Road is between $80,000 and $82,000.
A jump in wealth on the village's east side can be found just south of Algonquin's downtown area — and includes homes off of Edgewood Drive and neighborhoods east of Main Street and west of Sandbloom Road. There, the median household income is around $92,000.
The poorest neighborhoods in McHenry County are in Harvard where there are neighborhoods with household incomes of around $34,000.

F U Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (Internet Access)
"Lemme here you say…fight the power…we've got to fight the powers that be." …Public Enemy
So, I just got back from a Royal Caribbean Cruise. My father purchased berths for 4 families, including mine, to sail in the Caribbean for 7 days. I suppose I shouldn't complain since my family got a complimentary vacation but since this is a blog post, you gotta know I'm gonna complain about something :.)
People in our industry know there are two types of hotels…those that offer free WiFi and those that charge a small daily fee for the privilege. As much as we grumble about paying for WiFi, most travelers have pretty much accepted the charge as a necessary evil.
Royal Caribbean does things differently. It charges 55 cents a minute for WiFi.
55 Cents a minute for WiFi.
55 Cents a minute for WiFi.
Charging 55 Cents a minute for WiFi is the equivalent of giving somebody the middle finger and slowly waving it in their face. It's true that you could pre-purchase bulk minutes but no deal they offered drives the cost lower than 32 cents a minute.
Not only is the WiFi expensive, due to the necessary satellite Internet technology on the boats, it's considerably slower than conventional broadband.
I clearly know that Royal Caribbean makes a high margin on upselling services above and beyond the basic cruise cost and I have no problem with that. And, I noticed that people were paying 55 Cents per minute to screw around on Facebook (…no sympathy for hosing those folks with a big bill). However, for those people such as me who need continual Internet Access 24/7 as part of their livelihood, a Royal Caribbean (and other companies) Cruise is not a feasible option for a vacation.
I did have some issues while on vacation that I needed to deal with. Fortunately, within 4 blocks of where the ship docked in San Juan, I found a Starbucks where for the price of 1 drink, I was able to get 3 ½ hours of free WiFi that enabled me to get my necessary work done.
If Royal Caribbean and other cruise lines care about attracting dedicated online professionals on their vacations, they need to offer reasonably priced unlimited Internet Access. I paid almost $70 for doing little more than checking my stats & my email for a week and I'm F***** P***** off about it. I will never set foot on another cruise ship unless and until I can get the quality and quantity of Internet Access to which I am accustomed.

I did a transatlantic from Barcelona to Florida on Royal Caribbean last November. It was cheaper than flying, but their "nominal fees" onboard were such aggravation! The ship I was on was 55 cents a minute as well, but they did have a wifi 1 day charge too.
I think my backpacker side started to show, when after the first week I did laundry in my room ($4 per item is not a deal to me) and hung up my travel clothesline across the room. I got a few looks from the hall stewards after that…

Nice to hear you got some R & R, at least… I'm actually in the process of determining which cruise line to book with for an upcoming family vacation, and appreciate the reminder to check that first. Are all cruise lines that high? $33 an hour sdeems pretty excessive…
On vacation, getting in at least two hours of AM computer time before my wife and kids wake up is the norm, so over 7 days, that tacks on nearly $500. Definitely worth considering. Thanks for helping me say "F U" before booking!

Well there is your problem, trying to work while on vacation..
I'm leaving on Sunday for 10 days of vacation.. No computers, no phones, no roads, no electricity, tv or radio, and most definitely no wife or kids, just a cabin on a remote Canadaian lake, 5 other guys, beer, and fishing.. That is how you go on vacation..
Feydakins last blog post..Keeping Google out of the WordPress backend
I am an Internet Professional and I love to criuse. I find it to be one of the most relaxing, stress free vacations available. I have spoken with the company that provides the Satelite based Internet Access for the cruise lines and they are actually doing some pretty cool stuff out there. They bring the Internet to a moving object in the ocean to thousands of people everyday. There is only so much bandwidth available on any given ship, so they watch the usage and price it accordingly. I believe that it what led to the $0.55 per minute wireless pricing. It is a small supply and demand market at work.
As for selecting a cruise with Internet Access, you must look beyond the cruise line and inquire about the specific ship. They were each built at different times and return to dry dock for major repairs and upgrades after years of serivce. So, each ship may or may not have the type of access you are looking for. The cruise lines themselves sometimes sound like they are not fully equipped to answer those types of questions so, you will likely find better information at the cruise review sites. After trying many different lines, we have found Royal Caribbean to the leader in cruising and we prefer them.
A while back , Explorer of the Seas, used to offer an Internet package that was $100 for unlimited wired access in your cabin for the week. Things change so, I don't if that is still available or if they have changed the program. While that may not be ideal, I do remember pressing send on an email, while dolphines were swimming and "chirping" alongside our balcony cabin. That was cool!
Working Vacations… I don't look at vacations quite like that any more though. My vacation ideas over the long haul has moved to acknowledge that we NEED time away, off line, relaxing for a prolonged period of time. It is the deep experience of that "vacation mode" over mutliple days in a row (without working) that I believe recharges my batteries the best. When I go this route, I reenter the work force ramped,
ready to go, and with a new perspective.
A bit long but, thanks for the post and thanks for letting me reply. I have some more cruise info coming soon. If you would like to learn more about our next adventure, drop me a line.
Disconnecting from work for a few days is always good. If you can find a way to stop working and forget about it, even if its only for a few days, it really does make a difference.
55c is a great reason to take some time offline
.-= Bathurst Hotels´s last blog ..Knickerbocker hotel launches! =-.
We are cruising on Independence of the Seas leaving Southampton on Nov. 23. Second stop is Cherbourg on Nov.. 25 and we are looking at renting a 49 seat bus for a tour of Normandy Beaches, cemetery and museum.
I totally agree with Todd. I am going on a 7-day Caribbean cruise of Christmas/New Years, on Celebrity Summit, and can't believe they don't offer an unlimited package! It's 2010 for Goodness sake! I don't necessarily need to work, but I need to be connected to the world — news, sports, daily crossword, etc. Also, if I don't cull through my email occasionally, I'll have 500 messages when I get back from the cruise!
I'm actually in the process of determining which cruise line to book with for an upcoming family vacation, and appreciate the reminder to check that first.
Wow 55 cents a minute. What a big rip off. What do they use? satellite I guess? Is that expensive for them? Probably. Does that justify that bill … no.
.-= Dillinger@ Cheap Caribbean Vacation Packages´s last blog ..Not cheap- but you can rent Mick Jagger's home in the Caribbean =-.
They do use Satelite and the system is fairly reliable. After many cruises and having purchased Internet services on board over the last 10 years I have concluded that it is a simple supply and demand economy set by a captive audience. You have to want it. :- )
Isn't it sad that Todd (person who initiated this blog) can't appreciate something he received FREE (the entire cruise), finding something to complain about? He's probably also one of those people that eats in the dinning room, all week, then the last night, eats in the buffet, to cheat the dinning room staff out of a tip! It's like the people that complain about food, on a plane! If you want to eat out, you don't fly somewhere; if you want to fly somewhere, you don't go to a restaurant. If you want to e-mail, STAY HOME! On the other hand, if you want to go on a vacation, to relax and totally enjoy yourself, take a cruise, and ROYAL CARIBBEAN is one of the best you can do! If while on their cruise, you have a legitimate complaint, they do all they can to rectify it! Thank you RCCI, we'll see you, again, in December. Will take my iPod, and use it off the ship, at the MANY free locations, or pay $100. onboard to use it, anywhere, anytime, during the entire cruise!
You're so welcome, Todd, now take another cruise and enjoy yourself!!! It's really the only way to vacation! Enjoy life while you have it, as one never knows when it's going to end! I'm 65 and am thankful everyday, I'm fortunate enough to wake up, rain or shine!!
This is not a matter of supply/demand or captive audience as much as the cost of a certain service. If the author had a simple understanding of the cost of having internet access on a moving vessel, his harsh words were less harsh. The hotel that gives you free wifi is probably paying $50 a month for the internet while a cruise ship will pay tens of thousands of $$$. This you could learn with a little research but I guess it's easier to give a finger.
That is such a rip off! I'm for sure not going to a cruise ship now!! Nice rant!
Just a thought!!! It'd be great if one cruiseline would have one ship that is geared towards the demographic that requires internet. My husband is in management. When we do travel he still spends a few hours/day online taking care of business. We've traveled Europe and had a wonderful time. We would not have been able to take that trip if he'd not been able to take care of business (he's an investor in the business, and would worry if he was unreachable…and thereby not enjoy the holiday).
I would jump on the opportunity to cruise (I've done it once with girlfriends and loved it, and wanted to share this experience with my husband).
$100/week for unlimited would be okay, but according to this thread that is no longer offered. At 33 cents/minute our internet cost would be larger than our cruise cost.
I'll just keep watching online and see if any cruiseline gets with the times and realize how important the internet is to many people.

Well ladies and gentleman...were back after our jet-lag of a week. Your favorite gruesome twosome of Arn and Web tackle the X's and O's of the last 2 games and predictions of those Pirates that just want your Booty!
Since you didn't have one of these last week, what about those predictions for the Falcons game?
PixburghArn: First let me say that I'm sorry for not getting 'er done last week. Some of this will be old because I'm following up on Falcons' game stuff but bear with me. I said that special Teams would decide that game. I also said that a big special teams play will decide the game. Well I guess it depends on if you think a 52 yard field goal at Heinz is big. The actual play that decided it was the run by Mendenhall. I said that the defense would have 2 picks and 4 sacks. I then said Dixon will succeed if he looks for Heath. 24-20 was off but the spread was close. You be the judge. (By the way how 'bout those special teams? They showed up in Tenn too.)
Webslasher81: Yeah, I apologize from the bottom of my heart as well, I have been busy I had to re-certify for my Paramedic License last week and wasn't able to make it to my computer and to top it off I am in the middle of moving to Colorado Springs! I'm sorry Ladies and Gentlemen...I am also following up from the Falcons and the Titans respectively...The D for me, and I said DD would have a decent outing to maintain a strong push for the D to capitalize. I believe I also said that Brown would show up and be a force, in both games I was 2 for 3. Special teams, field position and the Steel Curtain came through in both outings. I had predicted the score 31-17 for the Falcons game and I was way off...d'oh! I didn't even predict a score for the Titans game b/c of my hectic week.
What about this week?
PixburghArn: Well, I'm going to predict that our running game gets huge numbers. The reason is going to be guys getting open and gashing Tampa with big plays early. I have our total rushing yards over 175 and passing yards breaking 150, but less than 250. Another big play on special teams. I predict the Steelers win this game 24-16.
Webslasher81: I have to agree with Arn, on the running game. We're going to expose Tampa's line and have big gaps for deep penetration and long gains (TWSS lol!) I expect the 1-2 punch of Mendy and Redman to be a force that Tampa won't contain. Although the special teams will be a huge factor for more td's (possibly) and field position. I am going with the D, Timmons, Deebo, Wolverine, B-MAC, Headhunter, and Troy P's hair will fluster Freeman and Cadillac William's all day, into to making errors (i.e. fumbles and picks) Troy will have at least another pick (possibly a pick 6) and 2 sacks. We win 13-6.
What about the standouts you predicted for the Falcons game?
Ike: He didn't stand out, but played well.
Rush-Hard: He scored the winning TD. I said he would have over 100 yards and 2 TDs. Close huh?
Webslasher81: I think I said Timmons, he played like a monster; his stock will rise further this year!DD: Yeah I said it he played decently and it paid off. I thought Sanders was gonna get some touches but It didn't turn out that way d'oh!
Who will stand out this week?
PixburghArn: Standouts will be Timmons on defense and Wallace on offense. I have Wallace over 100 yards and a TD. Timmons 9 tackles 1 INT and a sack.
Webslasher81: Ok don't burn me at the steak yet guys...I'm am going on a longshot, but if Lefty plays he will have a good game (10-17 184 yds 1 td 3 touches 22 yds), if Batch plays then he will play decently (8-18 132 yds 1 td) on the D: Deebo gets 6 tackles (3 tfl) 2 sacks and 1 FF.
Hit of the game from the Falcons' game?
PixburghArn: I'm going to do something different here. I am going to say the hit of the game was the one that I saw in my mind when Gonzalez was about to catch a pass in Clark's path. I'm sure Gonzalez saw it too. His arms looked like Barney's.
Webslasher81: I have to agree with Arn, I was even bracing for that hit from the Headhunter On Tony G. but it was only wishful thinking eh?
So your concerns from Falcons' game. How did they do taking care of those?
PixburghArn: Well they handled Turner and the running game. They also prepared Dixon very well. He didn't try to do too much and put himself in harm's way. Missed a few throws and had some close calls to go with the pick, but he didn't lose it for us.
Webslasher81: I knew the D would crush Turner and they came through. I have to say the O in general played out of character 80% of the time, but the D put them in the position to get the go ahead, that pick from Troy was inhuman and I thought we were going to win right there but Reed was drunk and missed that 40 yarder, so I can't blame the O, b/c they came through in OT when the D put them in the position, big ups for the O line making that massive hole for Mendy to close out that game.
What concerns you about this game?
PixburghArn: My concern is turnovers on offense. Whoever QBS will have to protect the ball (I know duh!) because there is not much margin for error. This Tampa team is scrappy. I am concerned that they may keep themselves in the game and make it really tough to pull this one out. I'm hoping we can break their spirit early.
Webslasher81: I agree again with Arn, right now the O is playing on their last leg, DD (out 3 to 5 for a ACL injury) Lefty (coming back from a 3 week hiatus for a knee injury) and Batch (well...um, he is injury prone i.e. last year and that Shoulder injury.) Turnovers will not be tolerated and thus it will be another battle for the blades of grass, when it is said and done the D will put us in the pivotal position to win this game. As history has said, we own Tampa...let's not make the football Gods angry!
Any Random notes?
PixburghArn: Uhhhhh yeah. I'm going to have hot wings for the game. I marinate the chicken wings and then smoke them on the grill and shake them in a plastic container of RedHot hot sauce.
Webslasher81: I kicked it with PCI last week and intend on doing it again, possibly a hotdog and burger burn, with some hot chicken ranch dip as a side (2 cups Red-hot sauce, 2 cups Ranch dressing, I bag of chicken giblets + a crock pot/cook for 30 mins @ 200 F and keep on a mild simmer throughout = Good times for game time/massive diarrhea the morning after until noon!)
Ok now that we have talked about the game, how about those Buccaneers cheerleaders? Here are our ambassadors of the week.
Ok I don't know these ladies' names but I would like to be the strawberry in the middle and make a Neapolitan connection. Feel me?

Also….Good lawd!
I just had to add this one, since we missed a chance and Brooke and her allies. I thought about photo shopping this one taking the back ground out and adding a picture of me, but I'm not that twisted.
She's very talented.
via www.exposay.com
Webslasher81: Well since we got those Bucs cheerleaders all sorted out (GULP!) I am gonna move onto some cheerleaders we won't face this year: Men meet the Chargerettes!
I wonder who her QB is:
double trouble:
via fitsnews.com
and finally...BAAAAAAZINGA!
Time to go International.
PixburghArn: Man I'm staying in Latin America/Caribbean. My first stop is Puerto Rico. Big props for Roberto Clemente, native of Puerto Rico. My dad played baseball with him in the PR by the way. Anyhow meet the lovely
My last stop is the Dominican Republic. Meet the lovely Amelia Vega.
Webslasher81: Well Arn...I have to admit, those are some spicy pics! I am gonna go with the Eastern Europe Queens...
The Urkraine:
Meet Anika, the other side of Urkraine futbol!
and...the Two'fer! (I don't know their names but...I want to get this calendar!)
Well that's all for this week ladies and germs, until next week, when Arn and myself give you the goods about our most hated rival: Edgar Allen Poe's "Nevermore's"!

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY -- The Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia E.W. Jackson announced yesterday that he supports a proposal called the Farm Freedom act, that is being proposed by Brenda Pogge who represents Virginia's 96th house of delegates district.
The proposal that would allow farmers to bypass the governments regulations.
"A farmer should be able to do as he wishes his with his own land," said E.W. Jackson at a fundraiser at JMU yesterday.
It is something that grabbed the attention of one farmer.
"I like the idea that he is even considering agriculture and realizes the importance of agriculture," said Stephen Saufley, who is a farmer in Rockingham County.
What he doesn't like is part of Jackson's proposal to allow farmers to sell anything they want.
"The concerns that I would have is food safety," said Saufley.
Jackson's belief is that there are too many restrictions on farmers, from the meats to the dairy products they sell.
"Over the years, we have been regulated more than we need to be," said Saufely.
"You know citizens aren't stupid, if a person thinks they want raw milk from their local farmer then let them have it," said E.W. Jackson in a phone interview.
One thing Saufley does disagree with Jackson on is that meats need regulation.
"And milk, those type of things, because I think it's much easier for the meats and those type things to not be properly prepared," said Saufely.

One of the biggest
nonstories of the week was the assertion by pundits, Aggie fans, and other busy-bodies well-informed people in an excellent position to make valid educated guesses that Mark Richt was going to be the Aggies' new head coach. Most of us Dawgs felt this to be a ridiculous idea that would never come to pass, but a few Aggie fans came over here and gave us some grief about it (and were poor hosts over at their own blog. I don't like it when people mess with my guys from here).
For the well-adjusted, nice Aggies who have been as respectful as a fellow conference fan base can be, good luck with your new coach, merry Christmas, and happy holidays. To the rest of you...well, sorry, folks; Mark Richt's already taken, and here's a
hyperbolic totally true account of how this all went down. With apologies to the Charlie Daniels Band:
The Devil Went Down To Georgia (karaoke) (via wizzymonster)
Karaoke version.
The Charlie Daniels Band- The Devil Went Down To Georgia (via 727JeffN)
The full musical version.
The Aggies went down to Georgia; they were lookin' for a coach to steal.
They all co-conspired 'cause their old coach was fired and they were willin' to make a deal.
Well, they came across this bulldog lyin' on an ice bag 'cause the weather was hot.
And the Aggies-laughing at the bulldog's tail stump-said, "Dawg, lemme tell you what:
"We know you won't believe us, but we are gonna tell you true;
we swear as fans, as the Twelfth Man, that this is what we'll do:
now you play pretty good football, Dawg, but give us Aggies our due.
We bet we're gonna approach and steal your coach 'cause we feel we're better than you."
The Dawg said: "My name's Hairy and of us Dawgs, beware.
But I'll wish you luck and admire your pluck, 'cause our head coach ain't goin' nowhere."
Hairy, rise up off your bag and keep a wary eye;
those Aggies loose in Georgia, they are sneaky, they are sly.
Since our coach wins, those Aggies, they do threaten and approach;
you cannot let those Aggies get your coach.
The Aggies tried to make their case by talkin' 'bout their town,
about their fans and facilities and elusive conference crowns.
And they claimed the College Station job was no head coach's last-ditch;
that band of Aggies chimed in on their hopeful head-coachin' pitch.
When the Aggies finished, Hairy said, "Well, your pitch was mighty nice,
but our head coach's chair right there is not hot but chill as ice.
Fired from A&M, that's no fun.
The Aggies raid the Dawgs but don't get no one.
Chickens love their head coach; Bulldogs do, too.
'Grantham, do your Dawgs bite?'
'We'll show you.'"
The Aggies bowed their heads because they knew that they'd been beat.
They pulled a Brave Sir Robin and beat a very brave retreat.
Hairy said: "Aggies, just come on back if you ever wanna try again.
I got cancer whipped and now he's my gun*; beating you's an easy win."
And he woofed, "Fired from A&M, that's no fun.
The Aggies raid the Dawgs but don't get no one.
Chickens love their head coach; Bulldogs do, too.
'Grantham, do your Dawgs bite?'
'We'll show you.'"
*This is a family-friendly blog, so I used the euphemism the Charlie Daniels Band used in their radio-friendly version. Feel free to substitute the original word, though; what deserves such an appellation more than cancer?

November 1, 2006
Albany - The numbers of inmates released from Georgia prisons has increased 150% in the last 30 years. That means more people are getting locked up, and unfortunately, many are there more than once. But one group is working to cut down the rate of repeat offenders.
Lock 'em up and put 'em away. Time in jail or prison should teach criminals how not to act when they get out, right? Not always. Congressman Sanford Bishop says, "People are not prepared for the reentry process." Not prepared to perform in society, and can't get jobs, so they go back to a life of crime.
Sheriff Saba says, "This is what it's going to take, if you don't, we are going to continue doing what we're doing now, Just a revolving door."
So how can you keep the door closed and the number of re-offenders down? Give them knowledge and job skills. Joyce Jordan says, "We want to do whatever it takes. That's what we want to do."
That's the whole focus of Albany Dougherty Restorative Justice Program. Taking people that have been or are going through the criminal justice program, and keeping them from going through it again. Jordan says rather than inmates sitting in a cell doing nothing, they can learn to read or get a GED.
Congressman Sanford Bishop delivered a $25,000 check to help start up the program. Think that's a lot of money?
Sheriff Saba says, "If they cause another crime, it costs more money to go through the courts than it would what we're trying to teach them."
Bishop says, "We have so many neglected human resources. They are too often neglected."
But by acknowledging each person's ability, instead of his history, may make for a better society for us all.

At this point, everyone understands Cam Newton. Huge ceiling with huge bust potential. Chances are you either think he's our QB of the future that can take us all the way, or you think he's Jamarcus 2.0. Regardless of how Cam Newton turns out, it's a good thing the panthers took him.
Over the past few years the panthers have turned into the most conservative, boring and unimaginative team in the NFL (John Fox). However, all of that changed in one pick. Not only did we take a franchise QB in the first round, but we took what is probably the most uncertain #1 pick of all time. If 3 years ago someone told me the panthers would be drafting a QB at number 1 with an uncertain past, has never run a pro offense, may not be smart enough to read defenses, is under investigation for getting paid by his school, BUT has the potential to be the greatest of all time if he applies himself I would never believe it. By drafting Newton, the panthers are showing a new mentality. A mentality committed to being great by actually taking risks. And they did it by making the biggest draft gamble ever. Regardless of how Cam Newton turns out, I'm glad we took him. Even if Cam Newton flops, right now I'm legitimately excited about the panthers and our new direction which is something I haven't been able to say in a long time.
No more going 7-9 or making the playoffs every other season, the Panthers are going boom or bust.
And kudos to JR for not only acknowledging the passing game as the way to win, but acting on it.
(Let's hope I still feel this optimistic 3 seasons from now)

Miami Hurricanes' spring sensations: The top five
By Jorge Milian
Which players made the biggest jump during spring practice? With the conclusion of spring practice on Saturday, here's my top five:
ANDREW SMITH: The junior defensive end played 19 games and started seven times during his first two seasons, but only registered a total of one sack and made little impact. That could change if spring practice is any indication. Now tipping the scales at 241 pounds (after arriving at UM as a 215-pound freshman), Smith registered five sacks in the Hurricanes' first two scrimmages and will be part of of a defensive end rotation that could go six deep.
LAMAR MILLER: Damien Berry and Mike James figure to begin 2010 as UM's top two tailbacks, but Miller made a case this spring for playing time. Miller, who finished sixth at the ACC Indoor Championships this spring in the 60 meters, is the fastest UM running back in years. He could fill the role held by Berry last season – a No. 3 back who enters the game in the second half and provides the offense with a big lift.
JAMAL REID: The native of Mayo was one of the Hurricanes' top recruits in 2009, but admits he came in with a "big head" and never got on the field. Back with a fresh attitude this spring, Reid was impressive enough that he will enter fall practice "neck and neck" with Ray Ray Armstrong for a starting job at safety, according to Randy Shannon.
KYLAN ROBINSON: UM's coaching staff thought so little of Robinson, a senior, that he began spring practice as the backup at middle linebacker to Shayon Green, a redshirt freshman, who spent all of last season recovering from knee surgery. But Robinson made the most of his opportunity and could begin fall practice as the starter in the middle, allowing Colin McCarthy to remain at weakside linebacker.
MICANOR REGIS: It's been years since the Hurricanes had a reliable run stuffer in the middle of their defense. Regis, a former Pahokee standout, could be that guy. With Josh Holmes and Marcus Forston sidelined for spring practice, Regis and fellow 300-pounder Curtis Porter put their stamps on starting jobs.
