Primal Screen
Kiefer Sutherland connects it all in 'Touch'
Published: February 6, 2013
Monday Mornings (9pm Mon, TNT)
Critics accuse David E. Kelley of having too much fun with his doctor and lawyer series (Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope, Harry's Law), to the point of rendering them absurd. Kelley's latest doctor series goes the opposite direction: no fun at all. Co-produced with CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Monday Mornings is as generic as they come. Doctors (Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, Jennifer Finnigan) roam a hospital's corridors to deal with traumatized patients and anxious parents, not to mention their own personal melodramas. We get the usual tears, blood, arrogance, heartwarming music, medical jargon and soul searching. Lots and lots of soul searching.
David E. Kelley, all is forgiven. Please bring back the fun.
Justified (9pm Tue, FX)
If you haven't started watching Season 4, what are you waiting for? Justified remains a droll portrait of a deputy U.S. marshal chasing the bad guys in Harlan, Kentucky. In the latest installments, low-key Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) digs into a cold case with connections to his childhood and his criminal father. Raylan goes about his business with a deadpan sense of humor, befitting the series' source in Elmore Leonard's writing. The Dixie-fried dialogue has the ring of authenticity, as does the portrait of small-town Southern life. Best of all is the lovingly detailed rogues' gallery.
When you find yourself enjoying time spent with murderers, drug addicts and snake charmers, you know you're in the presence of master filmmakers. — Dean Robbins

MONDAY, Oct. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Teens who drink lots of soda
seem to be prone to violence, new research suggests.
But the study authors concede that sodas are probably not the
direct cause of the aggression.
While there's a chance that the sugar and caffeine from
carbonated drinks contributes to violent behavior, the study shows
an association, not a cause-and-effect. Soda consumption, for
example, may be a marker of heightened violent tendencies already
present in the teen, or of poor parenting, the researchers
"Soda [could be] a red flag that is indicating something else is wrong," said study co-author Sara Solnick, an associate professor of economics at the University of Vermont in Burlington.
The study is published in the Oct. 24 online issue of
Injury Prevention.
The researchers asked about 1,900 Boston public high school
students how many non-diet sodas they drank during the last week,
as well as whether they carried a weapon or had been violent toward
family members or peers.
Nearly 43 percent of teens who drank 14 or more cans of soda a
week said they carried a weapon at some point, compared with 23
percent of teens who drank less than one can of soda a week.
Th researchers also saw an association between soda and weapons
even when kids drank less than 14 cans. About 33 percent of teens
who drank two to four cans a week said they'd carried a knife or a
gun at some point, as did 38 percent of teens who drank five to
seven cans of soda.
There was a similar "dose relationship" on other measures of
violence. About 27 percent of teens who drank 14 or more cans of
soda a week admitted to violence against a romantic partner,
compared with 15 percent of those drinking less than one can a
And 59 percent of those drinking 14 or more cans a week had been
violent toward peers, compared with 35 percent of those drinking
one can or less. Teens who drank lots of soda were also more likely
to be aggressive toward a sibling -- 45 percent compared with 25
percent among teens who drank little soda.
The authors were able to control for a number of factors
including gender, race and tobacco and alcohol use but not for some
other important factors that could affect the likelihood of
violence, such as quality of parenting and poverty. Those who
reported drinking lots of soda were also more likely to have also
used alcohol or smoked cigarettes.
Nearly 30 percent of the ninth to 12th graders said they drank
more than five cans of soda a week.
It's possible that the association is explained by the soda
itself, researchers said. Teens who drink lots of soda could be
missing important micro-nutrients found in healthier foods,
according to background information in the study, or could be
drinking soda to combat low blood sugar, which is linked to
irritability or violence.
Soft drinks also contain sugar and caffeine, which might affect
But the studies on the effect of caffeine and sugar on behavior
are inconclusive, said another expert.
"There's no definitive explanation that this explains how or if this might affect behavior," said Dr. Alan Manevitz, a psychiatrist with Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
Alternatively, "soda could be showing that this person is not
having a healthy diet or they don't have a great upbringing,"
Solnick said. "Those things are connected to violence."
In the study, the authors make mention of the infamous "Twinkie
Defense" in which defendant Dan White was convicted only of
voluntary manslaughter instead of homicide in the deaths of San
Francisco city district supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George
Moscone in 1979.
White's lawyers argued that the crime wasn't premeditated
because White was hyped up on junk food and Coca-Cola.
Since then, other studies have further probed possible effects
of unhealthy food, with one study finding poor mental health among
Norwegian teens who drank a lot of soft drinks. Another study found
antisocial tendencies among U.S. college students who consumed a
lot of soda.

As frontman of the new Nashville-based band Leagues, Thad Cockrell wants to be clear: their sound is not music for cynical ears or the pretentious."As music gets smaller and more fractured, we wanted to write songs that would stand over that – something big and American. My favorite music connects people and engages you to participate. Even if you look at folk music, those songs got passed down because it was something people could sing together."
Launching with a three-song EP and seven more tunes on the way, Leagues is comprised of musicians accomplished in their own right: Thad Cockrell (lead vocals), Tyler Burkum (guitar), Jeremy Lutito (drums) and Mike Simons (bass). With a mutual appreciation for their own personal styles, the four set out to create something different than what each had done individually.

NASCAR is the largest stock car racing organization in the US. It's three largest series are the Nationwide Series, the Camping World Truck Series and the Sprint Cup Series. It also manages the NASCAR Local Racing, the Whelen All–American Series, the Whelen Modified Tour and the NASCAR iRacing.com Series. Each year, a breathtaking fifteen hundred races are held in more than one hundred tracks, located in thirty nine states of the US. It has also organized exhibition races in two famous Japanese circuits, Motegi and Suzuka, as well as in Mexico and in Australia's famous Calder Park Raceway.
Most of the NASCAR teams are based in North Carolina, particularly around Charlotte. It ranks second in the US in terms of TV viewers and ratings, with the NFL being the first. Outside of the US, NASCAR races are broadcast to more than one hundred and fifty countries of the world. In terms of live viewers, it organizes seventeen out of the top twenty regularly attended single day sports events in the world, a huge record. To take that even further, over seventy five million fans purchase its products worth a total of three billion dollars.
The Sprint Cup Series is the highest level of pro racing competing in the US and is thus the most popular NASCAR series. In 2012, thirty six races were held over a timespan of ten months fr the series. The 2012 series was won by Brad Kesselowski. The record for the largest number of consecutive wins is five, a feat accomplished by Jimmie Johnson.

Two nights, two wins, two banner-raising nights deflated, in two road games to open the season.Not a bad start for Chicago. The Blackhawks haven't started a season 2-0-0 since 1996.The men of four feathers rolled into Phoenix on Sunday after a decisive 5-2 win at LA, and looked to -- if not avenge last spring's playoffs, at least make up for them.Last April, the PHX-CHI series was one of the tightest in recent Cup history. The first five games all went to overtime before the Coyotes blew the Hawks out of a deeper Cup run with a 4-0 win on Chicago ice. At the United Center for game 3, Coyote Raffi Torres took out Marian Hossa with an ugly headsho...
Cup hangover for the Kings? No - the time spent in the lockout eliminated that possibility for the Kings.So perhaps it was simply the huge anticipation and emotional output that a team faces, raising a Stanley Cup banner to the rafters.Two years ago, the Chicago Blackhawks stood in the Kings' shoes - except for the Blackhawks, the emotion of the moment was all the more poignant due to massive summer roster turnover. The Kings had almost none, beyond a player being traded this past week, and one of their assistant coaches who is now standing behind the bench for their Opening Night opponents.The Hawks have been there, and were able to channel that kn...
As the season is about to begin, the TCL team of Blackhawks writers give their predictions for the abbreviated (2012-) 2013 season. (Writers are listed alphabetically.)CHERYL ADAMS (@HockeyBroad)Central division will finish: 1) Blues, 2) Blackhawks, 3) Nashville, 4) Detroit, 5) ColumbusThis is going to be an interesting year in the Central. The Blues have proven persistent and should look to repeat from last year. It's a tough call between the Preds and the Red Wins, but the Preds are hungrier for the Cup and will look to prove themselves after finally breaking into the second round. It's a rebuilding year for the Wings after losing their ...
The Staples Center will be packed tomorrow with fans eagerly awaiting the return of their Stanley Cup Champion LA Kings. Celebrations are scheduled to begin long before the start of the banner raising ceremony at 3pm ET (2pm CT), officially sealing off the Kings' 2011-2012 victory year, and announcing the hunt for a new champion.
For Chicago Blackhawks, the spectacle will be all too familiar, it being only two years...
The CBA has been hammered out, the MOUs have been signed, and teams across the NHL welcome fans back into their buildings starting on Sunday as training camps open for the league.
It's long overdue for a lockout that should not have happened to begin with. While the fans eagerly flock back - as the league knew they would - they should not be taken for granted.
In Chicago, a number of Blackhawks supplemented by players like Mike Brown (TOR), Al Montoya (WPG), Ben Eager (EDM), and Troy Brouwer (WSH) have been skating at least three times a week since the lockout began. Kenny McCudden, skating and skills coach for the Chicago Wolves (AHL), has worked with the players at least...
2012 first round Blackhawk draft selection Teuvo Teravainen is back from a month long hiatus due to a broken finger. His team Jokerit is probably very happy to have back in the line up. Unfortunately for the rest of the teams in the Finnish League SM-Liiga he has come back with a fury while leading his team Jokerit up the league standings.
What has Teuvo been up to? Well since he has come back here is a list:
11/20/12 - he had one assist in 4-3 win over Karpat.
11/22/12 - he tallied one goal and one assist to lead his team past Lock in a decisive 4-0 win.
11/24/12 - he had one goal in a 5-1 defeat to JYP.
Despite receiving the cold shoulder from top NHL free agents forward Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter, Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman, like several other rejected general managers, is optimistic he can continue to improve the Chicago Blackhawks in other ways.
Although this summer's pool of free agent talent is somewhat shallow by typical standards, there are still quite a few players available, whether as free agents or on the trading block, who could potentially fill a few of Chicago's needs within the lineup.
With the signing of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter in Minnesota and defenseman Matt Carle, many teams have been forced to move on to their "P...
According to a report from Michael Russo of the Star Tribune, unrestricted free agent Zach Parise has returned to his native Minnesota and has not yet made a decision on where he will sign.
It had been assumed that Parise's decision had been made when it was announced that he would meet with reporters on Monday afternoon. Parise merely told reporters that a decision had not been made and that he would not put a deadline on when he would choose.
The teams rumored to be in the running for Parise are the New Jersey Devils, the Chicago Blackhawks, the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Detroit Red Wings, and his hometown Minnesota Wild.
In their first move during the free agency period, the Philadelphia Flyers brought back a familiar face to fill their backup goaltender position, signing Michael Leighton to a 1-year, $900k contract. Leighton replaces Sergei Bobrovsky, who was traded from the Flyers to the Columbus Blue Jackets on June 22 in return for three draft picks.
With the 18th overall pick, the Blackhawks selected Teuvo Teravainen.
Teravainen, 17, earned a promotion to the SM-liiga with Jokerit in the 2011-12 season and produced a respectable 11 goals and 18 points in 40 games against older competition. The promotion came on the heels of a dominating performance in the junior league, in which he produced 12 goals and 20 points in 11 games with Jokerit.
The 5-11, 165-pound offensive left winger doesn't play a physical game due to his size, but he's said to possess patience to his game which allows him to anticipate play and remain a consistent offensive threat.

Good Porgy Rod?
For crankbaits
My rod is a 6'6" MH. Just enough flex to zing the crank way out there but still enough backbone to haul a good size LM out from deep.
I haven't used this rod for deep walleye fishing but in the past used one just like it. I was very happy with being able to yank 6-7# walleye from 20 feet or deeper.
BPS GRAPHITE SERIES vs Uglystik lite
Can the 7 ft medium rod handle musky fishing?
Anyone used the ultralight?
53lb smallie on it what fun
what is a trigger rod?
The quick answer is that a trigger rod is a rod made for baitcast reels. A Spinning Rod is for spinning reels. Hope that helps.
You'd use a baitcasting or spincasting reel with one.

Peregrination: n., a voyage, especially an extensive one.
Perseid meteor by Wilfried.B on Flickr.
By every interpretation of the word, we are strangers. Even I cannot argue otherwise. But when our eyes meet for the first time, and I see your mouth shaping the words your heart would like to say but your brain forbids, I know there is something between us. And when, finally, your voice returns to you, and my heart resumes its beating, and we both smile, I know that you see it too. Maybe there is something to be said, we will agree years from now, for what the poets wrote about the crossing of stars.

The news today that the United States will begin negotiating with the Taliban will certainly be celebrated in the future Afghanistan as "Taliban Victory Day." There is a long history of negotiation with the Taliban; in absolutely every case, the Taliban has embraced talks insincerely. Think the Taliban are only interested in Pushtun areas of Afghanistan? Back in 1995, they had agreed in talks not to enter Herat, and yet into that non-Pushtun city they marched. Then, in 1996, they agreed to take part in negotiations about a broad coalition government in Afghanistan. The talks were still ongoing when they seized Kabul and imposed their reign of terror.
The United States also has a long history of negotiation with the Taliban. Between 1995 and 2000, Clinton administration officials—up to and including cabinet-level UN Ambassador Bill Richardson—met with the Taliban on perhaps 30 different occasions. The same individuals with whom President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry now seek negotiations had promised the Clinton team a range of Taliban concessions: giving up Bin Laden, closing terror training camps, and improving women's rights. The terror attacks of 9/11 should reinforce how sincere the Taliban was in its promises.
The current talks are even more ham-fisted than they were under President Clinton, and under secretaries of state Warren Christopher and Madeleine Albright. From France24's report:
The officials said the US and Taliban representatives will hold bilateral meetings, then it is expected that Afghan President Hamid Karzai's High Peace Council will follow up with its own talks a few days later.
After billions of dollars and hundreds of lives lost to promote the idea that the Afghan government was in charge and Hamid Karzai was legitimate, with one fell swoop the Obama team is cutting Karzai out of the equation. On the one hand, no one should be sorry to see Karzai go, but on the other hand, the US strategy appears to be to delegitimize Karzai, promote the Taliban, and provide no alternative.
Let no one say that Afghanistan has become Vietnam. In terms of results—and diplomatically-inflicted wounds—the forthcoming Taliban talks will make Afghanistan far worse than the aftermath of our war in Southeast Asia almost four decades ago.

Teachers face August delay in paychecks thanks to later school year
- 3:15 pm Tuesday, March 29th, 2011 by Allison Ross
Teachers in Palm Beach County are expected to go two extra weeks without a paycheck this August, the result of a later 2011 school start date than previous years.
The school district typically pays teachers every two weeks; teachers on that schedule will receive their last paycheck for this school year on Aug. 5.
But because the 2011-2012 school year is expected to start later than last year, teachers aren't scheduled to work during the Aug. 19 pay period. (By law, the district is not allowed to give teachers advance pay.)
That means the first paycheck of the new school year would ordinarily be scheduled for Sept. 2. However, the district and the county teachers union agreed to move the pay date up two days, to Wednesday, Aug. 31, so teachers could still get two paychecks in August.
Still, that means that teachers are expected to go more almost four weeks in between paychecks in August, rather than the usual two weeks. And some teachers say that such a delay will be a hard financial hit.
"My wife and I are both teachers," said Glenn Powell, a teacher at Jupiter High. "For us, it's a whole paycheck delayed. I've got to live without the money." [More]
Broward arts, PE teachers asked to take half pay
- 11:52 am Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 by Post Staff
(Sun-Sentinel) Principals at dozens of Broward County public schools have given librarians and teachers of art, music and physical education a choice: Take a pay cut of almost 50 percent, or take your chances waiting for a job to open up at another school.
"I've been teaching for over a decade, and now I'm supposed to be living for under 20 grand a year," said Jason Hammett, a physical education teacher at Plantation Elementary School. "I have a newborn son."

Al Jazeera released a brief video message on Wednesday from its detained West Africa correspondent, Abdullah Elshamy, recorded on the 106th day of his hunger strike in an Egyptian jail.
In the message, Mr. Elshamy explains that he was arrested in Cairo last Aug. 14 "while covering the dispersal of the Rabaa al-Adaweya sit-in" by Islamist supporters of the deposed president, Mohamed Morsi. "I was doing my job as a reporter, and despite the authorities knowing this I have been detained for 266 days without any charge and without committing any crime," he says.
Just before his arrest, Mr. Elshamy uploaded extremely graphic, bloody footage to YouTube, showing the mangled bodies of protesters killed during the forced dispersal of the sit-in by Egypt's military-backed government.

Crankworx is mountain biking's biggest festival, and brings thousands of riders and spectators from around the world to Whistler, BC. At Crankworx 2014 (August 8–17), a new trail named Micro Climate has been chosen as a stage in the Enduro World Series – and this trail was built by MEC Envoy and NSMB team rider Paul Stevens. Paul's also racing the Canadian Open Enduro at Crankworx, and we caught up with him to find out more about the trail and the event.
MEC Envoy Stephen Matthews is a world class mountain biker. He's pretty relaxed about most things, but has strong opinions about the features that make a pack right for mountain biking. Here's his take on the subject.
Between Canada and Mexico, we've racked up 10,000km (!) and a huge list of memories. Every bike touring trip is different, but here's what's stood out our family so far. – Story by MEC Envoy FX Delemotte
You know what's great? Spring bike trips. You know what's not? Excess baggage charges or a damaged bike. MEC Envoy Paul Stevens travels a lot with his bike, and has some great tips for travelling or flying with your bike.
A bike with a Tour de France pedigree comes fully loaded with expectations. To see how Ridley Bikes' flagship lightweight race machine performs, MEC Cycling Envoy Allan Prazsky took it out for a spin.
You voted. We tallied. And the results are now in. We're pumped to announce the winners of the MEC Dirt Search. Each winning organization receives $10,000 for trail improvement, and they have some big things planned.
In pursuit of fast corners, wide open singletrack and delicious pancakes, Envoy and outsider Stephen Matthews took a road trip to Kamloops for some late-season riding with a couple of friends. Read more…
New this year: MEC is teaming up with the Snow Pentathlon that will be held in Quebec City from February 22 to March 9. Very popular after 10 years of existence, the event began as a retirement project of Jean-Charles Ouellet, a big fan of cycling and adventure races, among other sports, and is now the race director of the Snow Pentathlon.
MEC Envoy Stephen Matthews recently headed to Kamloops for some end of season riding. Between the trip, the friends and the trails, there was plenty of opportunity for memories to be made.

Region: Fair Park
Flashdance The Musical is coming to a stage near you at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Remember that little silver-screen gem? Back when young movie stars didn't suck. (I'm looking at you, Ashley Benson … or, you know, any of them.) Plus, it gave us two of the hottest things ever: one-shoulder sweatshirts and Chris Farley's "I'm a Maniac" re-enactment in Tommy Boy. Guess what? The play is just as rad, and the lead actually looks like Jennifer Beals. Freaky deaky. Of course, the soundtrack is still gnarly, and the dancing? Boss. Go relive the story of Alex, the welder, apprehensively pursuing her life's dream to dance for the Conservatory while getting sexually harassed at her day job. At least that's what we'd call it today. Back in 1983, it was just called romance. Flashdance The Musical runs through Sunday, July 7, at Music Hall at Fair Park (909 1st Ave.). Tickets start at $20.25 and are available now at ticketmaster.com.

Thursday, November 10, 2011
Written by Neal Goulet
Anyone who has visited other American Hockey League arenas knows what a competitive advantage the Hershey Bears have in their home rink, Giant Center.
Almost without exception, Bears players can count on a packed house cheering on their 11-time Calder Cup champions. Sure, Wednesday's sellout had much to do with a Hersheypark pass giveaway, but the Bears have led the AHL in attendance for five years running and are No. 1 so far this season.
Of course, that's for only half of their 76-game schedule. For the other half, they will travel mostly by bus to destinations such as Norfolk, Va., Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Binghamton, N.Y.
But to call the Bears' mode of transportation a "bus" does not do justice to the comfort in which the team travels. The motor coach's amenities include wide leather seats, satellite television, six video monitors and wi-fi. Every seat has a headphone jack and 110-volt power.
In other words, the old iron lung, she ain't what she used to be. Not for the Hershey Bears, anyway.
Transformed into VIP coach
"It's like upgrading from a Toyota Camry to a Cadillac Escalade," said Scott Stuccio, the first-year Bears broadcaster who had been with the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. "It really was something else for me to see and experience the first time."
Most Bears fans have never seen the bus, or at least didn't know it if they did. That's partly owing to the late-night nature of road trips, but also to the fact that there are no overt team decals on the bus' exterior. There's no figurative yellow sign suggesting, "Bears on board."
The 45-foot Canadian-built Prevost is owned and operated by charter bus company Elite Coach of Ephrata, and it bears Elite's name on each side against a maroon paint job accented with silver and gold stripes.
Built in 2001, it began life as just another motor coach in the company's fleet. To the naked eye, it looks little different from Elite's 19 other full-size coaches.
The stainless steel bus had 390,000 miles on it when the Bears came calling in the summer prior to the 2008-09 season. Within months, Elite invested $110,000 to transform the bus into a "VIP coach" that the Bears have called their home away from home for three-plus seasons.
'An advantage to have this bus'
Dave Dickson, Elite's co-owner and fleet manager, is quick to point out that the Bears have won two Calder Cup championships during that time. Is there a correlation?
"I want to think so," he said with a laugh. "I don't think the bus has much to do with it, although I have had some coaches tell me that they think the way the guys can relax at the end of the games and be able to stretch out and be comfortable is a plus."
The Bears won a team-record 26 road games in 2009-10 and 25 last season.
Right wing Graham Mink, who returned to the Bears this season, was with the team the season the VIP coach debuted before he moved on to the AHL's Rochester (N.Y.) Americans. He lobbied for that team's owners to emulate what the Bears had done, to the point that the Americans actually reached out to Dickson.
"But once they found out what kind of cost was involved to convert the inside of a bus to make it as plush as what we did for the Bears, I don't think they were as interested," Dickson said.
Mink, who returned to the Bears this season, stands 6-3 and weighs 220.
"After a game," he said, "you don't want to be sitting scrunched up. You get tight, and that leads to more injuries. You're not as rested. It's an advantage to have this bus."
Of course, players feel the wear and tear of hockey no matter their size. Keith Aucoin, a Bears center, is 5-foot-9, 187 pounds.
"When you're on the bus until 4 in the morning, if you can recline back almost all the way, put your feet up and catch a little sleep before you get back home after a game, I think it helps us out a lot," Aucoin said.
Bears head coach Mark French sits right behind bus driver Ron Lindberg.
"It's hard to sleep on a bus, period," French said. "But you have a better chance sleeping on our bus than a regular one. It gives us a little bit of a competitive advantage."
Driving to Indiana to repair headrests
A typical motor coach has an aisle running down the middle and two seats on each side of it. Wider seats can be accommodated by switching to a "two and one" configuration, with just a single seat on one side of the aisle.
The Bears tried that with their previous bus company, Capital Trailways, but the off-the-shelf seats that the team purchased weren't popular with the players. By summer 2008, the team was ready to try something different, approaching Elite with the idea for "more of a first-class VIP bus," Dickson said.
Elite didn't have one in its fleet, so Dickson set about building one. The bus he chose had been in regular charter service, logging some 390,000 miles on trips to Florida and California.
That September, he drove the bus to Elkhart, Ind., where he knew someone who built plush custom leather seats, particularly for conversion vans. A sample seat – eight inches wider than a standard bus seat – was shipped to the Bears, namely president and general manager Doug Yingst, who gave it his blessing.
Dickson said his biggest challenge was designing and building the wooden console that accommodates cup holders, 110-volt power outlets and headphone jacks.
"All of that had to be put somewhere with the seat, so that the players could access that, but yet made in such a way that it was compact and it fit," Dickson said.
In late October, Dickson drove the bus back to Indiana to install the 31 seats, which recline almost flat without interfering with the seats and passengers behind them. They come with armrests and adjustable footrests.
Gathering in the galley
The image that many fans have of a hockey team traveling by bus is colored by the movie "Slap Shot," which showed players boarding with cans and coolers of beer. However, the Bears don't allow alcohol on their bus, so the built-in stainless steel cooler in the galley (in the back of the bus, to the right of the bathroom) is full of water and sports drinks.
Dickson, who once joined the Bears on a trip to Norfolk, said the galley serves as a gathering place when players want to get up from their seats.
Besides people, a team bus also has to accommodate a wide array of equipment, from players' bags to skate sharpeners to medical supplies. Some AHL teams – Norfolk comes to mind – pull trailers behind their buses. Because the Bears' bus sits higher than others, the cargo hold is big enough – but just barely.
Dickson said that virtually every square inch of the undercarriage is spoken for.
"And I don't think that you could put a carry-on bag that you would normally take on a plane anywhere in that undercarriage when they're done packing it," he said. "That's how full it is."
The Bears liked the bus from the very beginning – except for the headrests. When the seats were upright, players complained, the headrests pushed their heads uncomfortably forward. After the first season, Dickson made his third trip to Indiana so that the headrests could be flattened.
Elite continues to make modifications as requested by the Bears. Prior to this season, Elite replaced the 16-inch monitor at the front of the bus – where Yingst and the coaches sit – with a 22-inch screen.
Dickson said he is well pleased with Elite's relationship with the Bears, particularly Yingst.
"They're a great organization to work for and to work with," he said.
Available to the public
Elite just signed a second three-year contract with the Bears; it will take them through the 2013-14 season. The Bears have first dibs on the bus, but it is available for lease when the team is home and, of course, during the off-season. On Monday, for instance, the bus took fans to a Philadelphia Flyers game.
Elite charges no more for the VIP coach than any of its other buses, despite the six-figure investment to convert it. But because it has 31 seats instead of the standard 56, it costs customers more per seat to lease it.
"The bus is a great piece of equipment, and it's a great amenity to our fleet, but it is a challenging vehicle to market," Dickson said. "It was a risk that we took that continues to be a challenge for us to market it and to make it a profitable piece of our business."
Dickson hopes to bring the bus to a Bears home game to showcase it to potential corporate customers. The bus could sell itself, but then a Bears player such as Joel Rechlicz would put in a good word, too.
"When I was with Albany and Bridgeport, they didn't have anything like this," he said. "They weren't crappy school buses by any means, but here we've got leather seats, satellite TV. … It's amazing."

Black Tambourine - Dream Baby Dream
A giant cushion of reverb on which to rest my tired head.
There is a lot of conversation about learning to code these days. It is certainly a positive trend and there are more resources available to learn how to program than at any time in the past. There are thousands of books, web tutorials, and schools like Codecademy and CodeLesson. Initiatives are underway to create dedicated technology schools like P-Tech and the Academy for Software Engineering in NYC. Heck, even the languages, tools, and skills needed are way easier. You might think of this as the Golden Age of Coding.
I wonder if we are getting ahead of ourselves though. I like that people are taking a real interest in technology. For the sake of our country's future, we absolutely need more people going into technical fields. However, for all the excitement over initiatives like Code Year and entrepreneurs making pronouncements of their dedication to learn how to code, I wonder if this is all a lot of noise without any substance? How dedicated are these folks really?
I saw this quote the other day:
I think that is all well and good for those with the aptitude and inclination to code. However, it is a naïve notion to think that people with non-technical backgrounds will just pick up programming. Some will, but many will not. The reason is that learning to code is not the "be all, end all" of creating a tech startup. You also have to create a business.
One of the biggest gaps I encounter when meeting an all-tech founding team is a lack of clearly thought out business models and execution strategies. They have not given much thought to selling or marketing their product, generating traffic and sign-ups, creating partnerships, hiring staff, developing a funding strategy, how to handle customer issues, or simply doing the things one does in order to operate a business. Those are all skills that seem to go underappreciated in our tech community and the rush to conflate our techie cred. Those also happen to be skills that a good non-technical entrepreneur should be able to master and deliver.
Learning to code does take time. Even with all the great tools and resources, it is at least a good 6 months before anyone can be proficient enough to build something from scratch that is functional. Some can learn faster and have proven it, but the majority of people cannot lock themselves in a cave for several weeks. Even when you can build something, the proficient and experienced programmer can usually do what you did in about a tenth of the time. It makes little sense and is not the best use of a one's time to do something that is not in the sweet spot of one's abilities.
Therefore, if you are a non-technical founder, do not be dismayed because you are not coding. You have plenty to do yourself and do not just have to twiddle your fingers while the techies do the "real work". You do not have to hide your head in shame or feel bad about yourself because you do not know CRUD from REST. That being said, you should at least try to get a sense of how the architecture works, contribute heavily to the design and prototyping process, and be an effective channel for communicating customer feedback. If you do this, you will be amazed at how much you pick up by simply being involved.
If you twiddling your fingers however, then shame on you for throwing work over the wall without contributing. That is irresponsible and lazy and self-defeating. If you think you can cash in on success off the backs of others, may MR. FAKEGRIMLOCK find you and eat your innards. But I know you will not do that, so hold your head high and be confident that your path is not stymied just because you are not a coder.
What Mark said. Nonetheless, give it a try. You may be surprised what you can learn to do for yourself without having to...

Ochocinco arrived at Shiloh on 5/28/10. This mare was found standing on the other side of our perimeter fence looking for food and water.
Five days before she showed up, we were told that some power company workers saw some horses loose in the valley. We all looked, so did the surrounding ranches, but no horses could be found. Then this mare showed up, days later.
She is very thin and was dehydrated when we found her. After some food, water and rest, she is settling in and is very friendly. She does have shoes on her front feet and muliple scars on her legs and body. We suspect that she (and other horses) were dumped in the desert by the owners. She also had some cactus spines in her legs.
She does have a brand on her hip which has the numbers 8 and 5- so we have named her Ochocinco (eightfive in Spanish).
6/5/10 Ochocinco is filling out and is looking and feeling better. This will be a nice mare once she is back to health. She is very alert and interested in her suroundings, and love all the attention.
7/6/10 Ochocinco is gaining weight and enjoying turn outs. She is doing really well.
9/2/10 We have begon to work with, and evaluate Ochocinco.
11/11/10 We eventually began to suspect that Ochocinco was pregnant and stopped her work. Our vet confirmed it and on 10/31/10 she gave birth to a healthy little colt, Cairo!
Look at those beautiful paintings on this little guy. Ochocinco is such a wonderful good mom, protecting and always by Cairo's side.
11.23.10 Cairo soaked up some sun while dozing on his mom's breakfast...
2/19/11 Happy news as Cairo is being adopted by Laura of Las Vegas. Ochocinco went with him to his adopted home and spent time until he was safely weaned from her. They are both looking great.
04.18.11 Ochocinco is back at Shiloh and will be evaluated and looking for a new home. She is doing great and will be a wonderful horse for the right person. For now she is looking for a sponsor, to check details go to her web page HERE.

They are calls that have echoed through organizations and markets. Clearly something is happening to the ways markets and organizations are being represented and intervened in and this signals a need to reassess their very constitution. In particular, the once clean divide that placed the economy, dealt with mainly by economists, on one side, and culture, addressed chiefly by those in anthropology, sociology and the other `cultural sciences', on the other, can no longer hold.
This volume presents the work of an international group of academics from a range of disciplines including sociology, media and cultural studies, social anthropology and geography, all of whom are involved not only in thinking `culture' into the economy but thinking culture and economy together.less

Morning all.
You always know when the time to renew season tickets is approaching. That old chestnut 'Transfer Warchest' is raked up and put out there along with all the usual transfer targets spin.
The propaganda from the club is ramped up to an almost industrial level as sources from inside the club leak out tit-bits. The same old names are thrown into the mix just to jazz it up. Benzema, Mandzukic, Cavani, Fabregas, Casillas, etc etc…
Ivan Gazidis is certain to publicly claim any day now, that Arsenal are capable of competing for any footballer on the planet.
Yes Ivan, we know that the club can compete, but competing for and actually signing, well those are two entirely different matters aren't they?!
But never mind, the world is our oyster as the promises of marquee signings are hinted at by Arsene as he gives his little enigmatic smile. And there are the new sponsorship deals with zillions to spend, the absolute shed-load of cash to invest in our team, yeah, we're really going for it next season…
Of course the reality is quite a different matter and that'll no doubt kick in as soon as we're linked, for the 50th time with the likes of Saloman Kalou, Demba Ba or whoever else is going cheap in the sales…
But the situation could be about to get worse.
If Bacary Sagna, Thomas Vermaelen, Lukasz Podolski and Lukasz Fabianski all leave, the club will need to replace them in order to stand still and before thinking about other additional signings.
The depth of the Arsenal squad could be four players worse off before it's even been strengthened and it certainly needs more depth as the last couple of months have shown. So are we just going to simply see those four replaced and maybe one quality striker signed?
Are those the five new players that I've read in the rumours?
And when I hear rumours of a £70 million war chest, is that £70m plus what Wenger brings in or is it £70m in total and any extra goes into the pot?
Bendtner will leave, Coquelin is set to leave, Djourou will also leave. Joel Campbell will probably be sold as will Chuks Aneke and no doubt Ryo Miyaichi could possibly join the exodus.
There's going be a lot of depth to fill next summer, a lot….
Let's just pray that it isn't left until August 31st again to fill it?!!!

SCHERERVILLE | The Young Scholar preschool students at Forest Ridge Academy love the popular book "Pinkalicious."
In fact, the class all came down with an acute case of "pinkatitis" shortly after reading the story about a little girl who just can't resist one more bite of pink cupcakes, then turns pink when she eats too many.
The class began their pink afternoon by preparing for snack time. Teachers helped the students mix up a batch of pink cupcakes. While patiently waiting for the treats to bake, the children mixed white frosting with red food coloring to make it pink. The cupcakes were later topped with pink sprinkles, of course.
The children then listened to "Pinkalicious" read aloud to them.
"It's one of the most requested stories our students ask for on a daily basis," teacher Stephanie Sandoval said.
After snacks, the teachers encouraged everyone to look in the mirror to find their reflection had turned them completely pink thanks to pink plastic wrap over the mirror.
Each student decorated an extra cupcake to share with a sibling, just like pinkalicious did for her brother. They finished off the special day with a few coloring pages and a quick shout out of "PINK-A-BOO!"

No fewer than 100 farmers' groups in Kano State, under the All Farmers Association of Nigeria, will benefit from the N2bn agricultural loan to be disbursed by the Bank of Agriculture.
The loan is to be disbursed under a partnership between the Kano State Government and the Bank of Agriculture, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
The state Secretary of AFAN, Alhaji Garba Bichi, made this known in an interview with NAN on Wednesday in Kano.
He said the association had purchased 100 application forms from the state Ministry of Agriculture for onward distribution to its registered members across the state.
"The forms were purchased at the cost N2,000 from the Ministry which is coordinating the facility.
"The loan will be disbursed in three phases; the first phase is from N10,000 to N250,000, while the second and third phases range from N250,000 to N5m.
"The loan will be disbursed to about 100 of our individual farmers and groups under the first phase of the facility," he said.
Bichi explained that farmers who wished to take the third phase of the loan must provide collateral, while the first and second phases of the facility do not require any collateral.
He urged farmers planning to take the facility to ensure proper utilisation of the fund so as to achieve the desired objective.
Bichi commended the Federal Government for the support it had been giving to farmers, particularly farmers engaged in dry season farming.
"Many people in the state have embraced irrigation farming because of the Federal Government's support to farmers in the state.
"The support to irrigation farmers is based on the government's plan to stop the importation of rice in the near future," he said.

…Well that was fun! Last Thursday, March 28, we held our 2nd networking event for the western Massachusetts film and media community. It took place in the beautiful lobby at One Financial Plaza right in downtown Springfield.
The evening began with guests ushering in and mingling with others. This time we amped up our name tags by providing people with industry-related stickers so as to better identify who worked where in film and media. It helped to spark up some conversation!
A few drinks, delicious bites and some connections later, BFMC's Executive Director, Diane Pearlman, gathered everyone together to speak to them. She discussed BFMC - who we are, what we do - and why these networking events are so important to bring together our western MA film and media community.
Afterwards, everyone broke out into 2 break-out groups to get to know one another better. Animators met Producers, Editors met Videographers… it was so exciting to have so much talent and energy in one room!
The rest of the evening continued with more mingling and delicious food and drinks. Thank you to everyone who joined us! Stay tuned for our next networking event happening late May/early June 2013!

On Saturday, March 23 the three of us who form the Berkshire Film and Media Commission [BFMC], packed up our car and traveled to Boston to attend the MA Media Expo, put on by the Massachusetts Production Coalition [MPC].
Along the way we made important stops — for gas, for coffee and of course, for candy. Our greatest challenge before getting to the Expo was to decide between passing out Twix or Milk Ways. In the end, we chose both.
When we arrived at the WGBH Studios we began setting up our table. We had a beautiful sign made by Museum Facsimiles that explained who we are and what we do.
Our table also had our latest newsletter and brochure, a Berkshires Goodies bag that people could win if their business card was chosen, magazines with articles about the western MA film and media industry, and a monitor looping two videos - one we recently made for the Berkshire Visitors Bureau and the other was a Berkshire locations reel that can be seen on our website's homepage.
In Exhibition Hall we were surrounded by 50 other companies and organizations, and were especially excited to have PorterHouse Media and Anzovin Studio also representing western Massachusetts.
Soon people began to pile in, and over the course of the day close to 400 attendees had visited our table. We were happy to make so many connections and to meet others who work in our industry.
Throughout the day different events took place including a keynote panel, where BFMC Advisory Board Member DOUG TRUMBULL spoke. He was a positive representation of the Berkshires, frequently commenting how it has been his home for over the last 20 years, and a place where he has been able to do his high-end, innovative film work and still maintain a quality of life. Doug was joined by MPC President, Don Packer who served as moderator, and other keynote panelists including Producer Dorothy Aufiero, and Unit Production Managers Todd Arnow and Mark Kamine.
Other events included seminars on casting and directing, and a screening of the film, WHITEY BULGER: THE MAKING OF A MONSTER, followed by a panel discussion with filmmakers.
The day ended with a cocktail reception where guests continued to network.
We were so happy to be a part of the MA Media Expo, and are already looking forward to the next time we visit Boston and represent the other side of our state.

Tried XP Mode, which was successful for most of the software I listed.
Digiblue won't work as it thinks the display is <16-bit, and the Microscope software just freezes the whole system.
Cheers! Found the overly long vid with the beardy chap explaining XP mode. No SA at the site I really need it for, so I'll have to give XP Mode a go.

SimpleSi (9th August 2010)
Windows 7 32 Bit:
Problems with -
Nelson Thornes
NA Klar 1 & 2
Voila 1 & 2
Horizons 1 & 2
(and probably some of the older Nelson Thornes installers..)
The workaround I found..
1. Install the flash patch from the Nelson Thornes Support Site - then install the application
2. First Run - the applications as an administrator - this allows the creation of directories - also login as a teacher while running the application as administrator
3. Specify the Program Files\Nelson Thornes folder in AppLocker
I've got a further problem that these programs use Internet Explorer to display the content - so I get the Information Bar (To Protect your Security because ActiveX is evil - click here to accept the risk - or similar!) - I managed to get that switched off briefly but it's back again now..!
I can't be the only person to experience problems with Nelson Thornes software..?
Stangely SIMS seems to run on 64bit (W7 and Server 2008R2) - despite being unsupported..
I've a cmd that runs
SIMSAMPARKSetup.exe /S {QuietMode} {NoServerApps} [SIMSDotNetDirectory]="%PROGRAMFILES%\SIMS\SIMS.net"
SIMSApplicationSetup.exe /S {QuietMode} {NoServerApps} [SIMSDotNetDirectory]="%PROGRAMFILES%\SIMS\SIMS.net"
Then copies a good SIMS.ini to the windows folder
Then another cmd to do the SIMSPerm stuff..
With ref to @Witch I've successfully installed Dazzle on a 32bit Win7 laptop, V1.44 dated 1999. However, just come to install Collins New Primary Maths and it won't - message cannot install on OS.
Has anyone had any problems with Activeteach/Activebook? It seems to fail with 'Library not registered' whether it's locally installed or run from the network (which worked fine on XP)
It's something I thought I had tested but obviously havent and now Maths staff are quite desperate to use it...whoops
Ah, scrap that, it works when the 'white screen' patch is applied...phew!
If anyone needs it (took me a while to find their support area) - Hangs on white screen upon launch?
Thats for Maths but the others can be found
Reaper (23rd September 2010)
Is anyone using XP mode with any success? I'm sourcing laptops for pupil use and really want to put xp on them for simplicity of use and can't get xp downgrade disks with the model I want. I've got xp disks I can use with the downgrade rights but don't want the hassle of sata drivers etc.
I've posted on the HP forums and got a right snooty reply back from someone advising me to use xp mode with a sarcastic reference to fact I'm buying a quantity of laptops! I tried xp mode with the staff windows 7 laptops and wasn't really impressed at all!

In the same vein as Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own," which was an empowering story meant to inspire women to stand up for their rights, author Traci Gaines' How to Kill a Player! Exposing the Game (published by AuthorHouse) looks to inspire and empower women to stand up for themselves in a relationship. The book discusses cheating in relationships and the effects on both men and women. "This book is for the women that I feel have been stepped on, beaten up, or tortured by men," tells Gaines.
How to Kill a Player! tells the story of Cherry, a homeless woman looking for love. When she meets a man named Mark, everything seems perfect - he offers her a place to stay and sleep, then the two go out for dinner, quickly falling in love with one another. However, when Cherry goes on vacation, she meets Jack, and the two also fall in love. What is she to do, and how is she to choose?
"Whatever hurts you makes you strong, and whatever helps you, makes you a better person," says Gaines. She is a firm believer that people learn something new every day, and must in turn take that knowledge to the intelligence they already possess.
"I have finally decided to tell the stories of men and how they operate. I have heard sob stories and angry stories from lots of women. I know that some situations will amaze you, make you mad, then hopefully make you think clearly! It is time for the world to know what is going on in the black communities!
"There are a whole lot of things that women and men go through, and this is my story."
Traci Gaines is a single mother with a bachelor's degree in liberal studies. She has told stories all of her life and finally put her foot down to tell hers.

Brewdening Love is an infamously bad Twilight fanfiction. Throughout the years, however, a group of snarkers from the Twilight Sucks forum has added bits of Fanon to it, making it grow larger and larger until it became a true Expanded Universe, if not an Expanded Multiverse. More recently, the guys at Twilight Sucks have switched from snarking chapters of the original fic to writing new fics based on this fanon.When this page references the Twilight Sucks forum or thread, it means this thread.

Generals Lyrics - G.B.H.
We'll lead you into victory, you hear the generals say.
Never look behind you, we're with you all the way.
Go to bed early, conserve your energy,
tomorrow we'll be fighting with our enemy.
Polish your boots, clean your gun,
killing those bastards will be a lot of fun.
Take no prisoners, kill them all.
Start to march when you hear the call.
Britain needs you, Britain needs you ..
Britain needs you to die for her.
Marching into victory, marching in the mud.
Fighting for freedom, fighting in th eblood.
There's dead bodies all around, you're told to carry on.
Death is not right, war cannot be won.
March along you see a flash,
fall to the ground and make a splash.
sponsored linksYou awake you're lying in the bed,
eyes are shut you think you're dead.
Lost your arm, you've lost your leg,
lost you're job, you'll have to beg.
You'll get loads of sympathy, a picture in the Evening Post.
But where were the generals when you needed them most ?
