Intel P-State Driver Gets Broadwell Support In Linux 3.16
Published on 30 May 2014 11:05 AM EDT

Comment On This Article
processors will be supported by the P-State driver with the upcoming
Linux 3.16 kernel
Rafael Wysocki sent out the initial ACPI/PM commit queue of the work he plans to send via pull request into the Linux 3.16 kernel when its merge window opens in June.
There's a lot of ACPI and power management changes lined up for this next Linux kernel cycle. Worth pointing out for Phoronix readers is that Intel's
driver now has Broadwell CPU ID support for controlling the CPU frequency scaling in place of ACPI CPUfreq. Here's some recent
CPUfreq vs. P-State benchmarks
for those interested.
The ACPI/PM pull also has changes for always using the deepest C-state in the "freeze" sleep state, updated documentation, enabling the ARM big.LITTLE cpufreq driver on ARM64, and many bug-fixes.
The full list of currently queued ACPI and power management patches for Linux 3.16 can be found via the
kernel mailing list
while some more patches might still be pulled before the release of Linux 3.15.

A few notes on the early Wroughtons may be found here (John Aubrey's 17th c. account of his visit to Broad Hinton, Wiltshire):
with pictures of memorials to Sir Thomas and Sir William in the church of St Peter ad Vincular here:
There is this early latin memorial inscription to a John Wroughton:
"In the chancel; in brass on a flatt marble, thus:
'Hic jacet Johes Wrofton Armiger qui obiit xbi die Aprilis Anno Dni MCCCCXXIX. Cuius aie ppicietur Dues. Amen'
<<Here lies John (Johes is short for Johannes) Wroughton (note the phonetic spelling for the original pronunciation of Wroughton) Knight who died the 16th day of April (if 'b' stands for 'v') in the year of the lord 1429.>>
This may be the son of the William Wrofton/Wroughton mentioned that built the house and started the Family of Wroughton that was to remain in Broad Hinton for two hundred years.
I am going out on a limb (of the family tree) here, but I feel that it is at least possible that this the line to which our Virginia immigrant, Isaias/Ezekiah [W]Roughton of Jamestown is attached.
Comments by Wroughton researchers welcome.

Palestinians protest in support of hunger striker 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Two Palestinian rioters were shot with Israeli live
bullets as clashes in the West Bank continued on Friday evening.The two were wounded by what an army source described as precision live fire, one in Beitunia and one in Hebron. The source said that the fire was directed at the legs of ring leaders and lightly wounded the two. The type of weapon used, according to the source, was a .22 caliber rifle. Both instances of live fire were approved by commanders in the field. In a conflicting account of the incidents, a Reuters correspondent tweeted that the two Palestinians had been shot in the chest, and were seriously wounded. The two were rushed to hospital
in serious condition, according to the report. Palestinian ambulance
drivers said the shootings happened in Budrus and Nabi Saleh.Palestinian,
Israeli and international activists gathered across the West Bank
throughout the day in support of hunger-striking detainees in Israeli
prisons. Dozens of Palestinians threw stones at security forces in
Hebron and Jerusalem, as clashes broke out near the Ofer Prison and Nabi
Saleh, Army Radio reported.The Hebron rally is partially in
solidarity with the hunger strikers and partially a call for Israel to
re-open the city's Shuhada Street to Palestinian traffic. The
demonstration also marks 19 years have since Baruch Goldstein murdered
29 Muslim worshipers on Purim in 1994.Israel security services
had increased their alert level ahead of the demonstrations, with police
deployed in villages in east Jerusalem as well as the Old City in
preparation for Friday prayers.Palestinian youths following
Friday prayers threw stones at security forces stationed on the Temple
Mount. There were no injuries, according to police.Hundreds of
protesters also gathered at the Beitunia checkpoint next to Ofer Prison,
located outside Ramallah, where several Palestinian inmates are on a
hunger strike. Some thirty Palestinians were hurling rocks at soldiers, an army source said.According to activist tweets, IDF troops used riot dispersal methods such as firing tear gas canisters to quieten the protests. Fifteen injuries were reported among Palestinian rioters from rubber bullets in in the area.Meanwhile
on Friday, three Palestinians on hunger-strike were evacuated to
hospital, Palestinian news agency Ma'an quoted a prison services
spokeswoman as saying.Sivan Weizman told Ma'an that Ayman
Sharawna, Jaafar Azzidine and Tareq Qaadan were transferred from Ramle
prison to hospitals in Israel for medical tests.Dozens of
Palestinians were wounded on Thursday in clashes that broke out with the
IDF during a prolonged protest in support of the Palestinian hunger
strikers that took place next to Ofer Prison, located outside Ramallah.Palestinians
threw stones at the security forces, and lightly wounded three Israeli
journalists – Nadar Bagdasa and Roy Sharon of Channel 10 and Yoram Cohen
of Channel 1 – during the protest, which lasted from 11 a.m. until the
evening.According to Abir Kopty, a spokeswoman for the Popular
Struggle Coordination Committee, dozens of Palestinians were injured by
tear gas, rubber bullets and rubber-coated bullets. A temporary clinic
was set up at the site.She herself was hit in the head by a tear
gas canister, treated in the hospital and then released. While in the
hospital, she said, she counted 10 others who were there with injuries
from the demonstration, including one protester who was hit by live
fire.The IDF denied that soldiers used live ammunition at Ofer.The
protest started with a prayer, and quickly turned violent, with
Palestinians throwing stones and rolling burning tires, while soldiers
fired tear gas and rubber bullets.At times they also used a "skunk truck," which sprayed foul-smelling water.Tovah Lazaroff contributed to this report.

Rockstar News
Dylan Ferrandis finished sixth overall in the eleventh round of the MX2 Motocross World Championship at Kegums in Latvia, and offered to the Rockstar Bud Racing Kawasaki its best result since the French GP. With a tenth overall, his best ever GP result, Jason Clermont completed the good weekend of the team.
The French teenager had set third fastest time during the practice sessions, and was confident for this weekend. But he crashed early during the qualification race and had to be content with twenty-second choice of start gate for the GP motos. His first start was average, and suffering from arm pump in his forearms he raced on the edge of the top ten all moto. But Dylan settled quickly into a better rhythm in race two for a strong ride to sixth place in the moto and the GP overall.
Although he had never raced on the sort of track he faced in Latvia, Bud teammate Jason Clermont had his best GP result to date. Qualified in thirteenth he took a great start and then maintained eighth place for most of the first moto before the demanding track forced him to surrender two places to more experienced rivals in the closing laps. Another determined ride in race two, earns Jason the first-ever top ten GP ranking of his short GP career in his fifth race with the team.
The team will now move to Hyvinkää (Finland) for the third and last back-to-back races in the Baltic's.
Dylan Ferrandis: "I was happy with my lap times on Saturday with a third position, but in the qualifying race I crashed after a few laps when I was in the top ten. I fell on my shoulder and lost time to restart as the bike was in the middle of the track, but recovered to finish twenty-second. My starts were pretty good from this position on Sunday, but in the first heat I got arm pump and didn't felt comfortable. The second start was much better and I found a better rhythm to finish sixth, my best result since the French GP."
Jason Clermont: "It was a great weekend for me, even if it was difficult on Saturday as I had previously never ridden on a track like this one. I had a good gate for the race, and I got a great start in the first moto; I held eighth place for most of the race, but in the last three laps I felt tired and lost two positions. The second race was more difficult; the track was faster and my start was not as good but I'm happy with this tenth place overall, especially as the sand track here is so different to anything I have ever raced at home in France."

Dear eBay, Your Ads Don't Work Because They Suck wordstream.comSubmitted by paulgailey Mar 14 2013 in PPC 4 Comments Discuss (4) |
Monetize Pros @MonetizePros
Loved this article.
"I couldn't help but laugh when I read this, and I'm sure many of you did as well, because it's pretty well-known within the search engine marketing community that eBay is the butt of many jokes when it comes to adopting advertising best practices.
eBay is probably the world's biggest abuser of an ad writing tactic in AdWords known as Dynamic Keyword Insertion or DKI. As its name suggests, DKI dynamically inserts the user's query into the headline of your ad, as follows:"
Indeed. We can all remember some random hilarious ad SERPs... I think I remember googling "how to cure my bum rash" and getting the ad "Buy how to cure my bum rash on ebay now!" ;-)
Dennis Goedegebuure @TheNextCorner
I thought the article was really bad actually, as using screenshots from years ago do not reflect the current state of optimization. Also, the writer of the article might be a good PPC consultant on small, medium and sometimes large accounts, managing a portfolio like eBay is definitely different. And then the question is, are you really set up to succeed, or are there other powers which want you to fail?
victorpan @victorpan
Hi Dennis, just read your in-depth post on the matter on your blog. Love your points and hope your friends survive the in-fighting. Here it is for everyone else: http://thenextcorner.net/ebay-ppc/
An interesting segment highlighted below, but read the whole post for context:
"It has happened that one group proofed with analytic proof, that the advertising on eBay was cannibalizing the conversion rate of items on the site, and had an impact on site speed. 4 months later, the VP of the group moved to the business side, became responsible for the P&L, and with 3 weeks into the quarter and a $20 million hole in the budget, made the executive decision to move the ads back on the site. Just make a check on the eBay site, it's full with ads right now, even on the View Item page which had always been a sacred page for sellers!
This Paid Search campaign effectiveness study could very well be a power play from inside groups to take control of the advertising budgets. Objective: proofing incompetence to replace and take control"
Larry Kim @larrykim AMA
Dennis -here's a more recent crawl of ebay's "top ads" from mid february of this year -- looks like they're still hooked on DKI.

Gov. Sam Brownback Admits Romney Ads Lie About Welfare
By karoli August 31, 2012 12:00 pm -
Thank you, Governor Brownback. Yes, he dodges and feints with the whole "dependency on government" thing, but he admits at about one minute in that the ads are untrue, leaving himself a tiny bit of wiggle room to back off, but not enough.

Score distribution:
Positive: 58 out of 65
Mixed: 6 out of 65
Negative: 1 out of 65
Mar 15, 2012The overall takeaway I get while playing SSX: sometimes EA gets it exactly right. Sometimes their experience from a dozen misguided games, and a half dozen decent games, and two or three really good games is distilled into one perfect example of how some AAA titles are every bit as awesome as they're supposed to be.
Feb 28, 2012As a series reboot this is perfectly acceptable, but it's the new and innovative online aspects that make SSX feel absolutely superb. Packed to the brim with clever ideas, SSX is a truly unmissable surprise. While most other online modes feel like painting-by-numbers, SSX shrugs and tries something refreshingly different. This isn't just brave - it's brilliant.
Feb 29, 2012It's been a long wait but well worth it: SSX returns at its best with a new approach to the snowboarding genre. Its exaggerated tricks mixed with the new survival tune, well crafted graphics and abundance of content make it the game that SSX fans - and generally extreme sports games fans - were dreaming of during the last few years.
Feb 28, 2012I ran into a few issues -- namely the occasionally frustrating level design, which is inconsistent at best -- but there's so much to love that the problematic aspects don't sully an otherwise terrific game. Between character leveling, equipment, hundreds of drops, and rivalries with friends, SSX is going to provide months of entertainment for most of us.
Mar 13, 2012If you have ever enjoyed a single moment from the last generation games, you need to own SSX. Newcomers should not fear getting their snowboots wet with SSX. Like the other games, it is easy to get into and the online Ridernet helps fuel the flame of competition for many months to come.
Feb 28, 2012Despite some rough patches in difficulty, SSX manages to modernize itself with realism, course variety, and seamlessly integrated multiplayer. Even with the courses littered with pits and darkness, they can either be avoided or faced head-on with the same intensity as an epic boss battle. it doesn't have as bold of a personality than before, but ready or not, SSX is here to stay.
Apr 11, 2012Whether your favorite was SSX Tricky or SSX 3, this latest entry, simply titled "SSX," has virtually nothing to do with the franchise fans fell in love. Voiceovers from DJ Atomika have been slapped on top to reassure you that yes, you're playing an SSX game, but the gameplay, courses, and overall quality are saying something else entirely.
Score distribution:
Positive: 44 out of 69
Mixed: 9 out of 69
Negative: 16 out of 69
May 5, 2012If I would have written a review during the first few hours of playing this game, I would have ranted about how it's changed, how there are far more hazards and the overall courses are a lot less friendly.
Now that I've poured dozens of hours into it to get a good feel for the game, I absolutely love it. The explore mode is where the real game is. Once you get the hang of it it stops being frustrating and starts being a fun challenge - hey, if you can't finish one event on a track, try another one, or another track, seriously there are dozens of them. The world event is really a cool feature too, it makes the game fresh when you've gotten tired of the records offline. Absolutely adore it, great buy at only $40 dollars new right now, I recommend this to anyone who likes technical/twitch games like I do.… Expand
Feb 28, 2012The perfect SSX game. Waited for many years for this and was not dissapointed. The person who submitted a 4/10 review is simply idiotic. Saying the multiplayer is pathetic or whatever he said is rediculous. Rather than put out the same old outdated lobby system where you spend more time waiting then playing, they made the genius RiderNet system, which will keep groups of friends locked in competition for ages. If you have a decent group of friends this type of multiplayer will provide you with much more entertainment than 'traditional' multiplayer. Oh and yes there IS real time multiplayer, dont let others tell you otherwise. Its called Global Events. This game is easy to pick up and play, and feel like your awesome, but difficult to master. The Ridernet systen and brilliant online features will keep you playing for absoloutely ages. They listenes to the fans and did exactly what was asked. Ssx is back, and this is possibly the best one yet. Definately the best reboot I've ever played. 10/10… Expand
Feb 28, 2012I've been a fan of the SSX series since the first release of SSX on the PS2. Though I lost a little interest after SSX 3 seeing "On Tour" and "Blur" seemed a little ridiculous so I stuck with SSX 3 until I got burnt out and moved on. It had been years since I've played any of the previous SSX titles so I got online to check and see if any new titles were in the near future and sure enough, SSX was coming to 360 and PS3 and it looked amazing. I waited impatiently for the demo to release on XBL and honestly, the demo doesn't do the game justice. The new "Survive It" mode is intense. It has a new feel with new controls but for SSX veterans, you have the option to switch it to old school controls but it seems you don't twist and turn as fast as the default controls. It takes a couple races and trick sessions to get used to, but once you have it down you'll be carving down every mountain with ease. There is a lot more I could say, but I'm sure you've already heard. This game brings back good memories that I had with SSX but in a new and more intense way. You will enjoy this if you're an SSX fan so pick it up right now and get to shreddin'!!… Expand
Mar 9, 2012very fun and addictive multiplayer, and an all-around fun filled game. i would say the game does get a little repetitive, but it is a really good game. my only complaint is that i don't think it will have much lasting appeal.… Expand
Apr 3, 2012I really loved SSX, until now. Now I just like it.
It's not as bad as I feared, but it isn't anywhere near as good as the franchise was.
Hopefully they can restore the franchise if it gets another chance!… Expand
Mar 1, 2012You may either love or dislike this title depending on what you're expecting from a snowboarding game. If you love a tough, unforgiving game that challenges you to memorize the courses and punishes you for every mistake, then you may really enjoy this game. If you think snowboarding games should be about enjoying the hill any way you like, and stringing together combos without the constant threat of bottomless pits to ruin your run, then this game will frustrate you.
I've been a huge fan of this series since the very first, but the developers of this new SSX killed the joy of video game snowboarding for me by making it all about 'surviving the hill'. A huge disappointment.… Expand
Jan 2, 2013This game has the absolute worst control I have seen in a long time. Every controller input has a delay that hinders any fun this game may have had. This game is not worth purchasing at all.… Expand

BAU Music - In Heaven's Home
Artist: BAU Music
Featuring: The Alchemist, Prodigy, Roc Marciano
Producer: The Alchemist, Budgie
Album: The Good Book
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
In this digitally-focused day and age, album packaging has been pushed into the background. The Alchemist and Budgie, however, are looking to counter that trend with their forthcoming collaborative project, a boxed set which will come in the form of a faux book wrapped in leatherette with gold foil-embossed printing. Of course, all those bells and whistles don't mean a damn thing if the music inside the package isn't dope. New single In Heaven's Home should allay all doubts on this count. Here, the beatsmiths' eerie piano loops and gospel-vocal samples set an uncanny mood as Mobb Deep member Prodigy and NYC buzzmaker Roc Marciano deliver gritty, hard-nosed guest bars. Like what you're hearing? More awaits on The Good Book, dropping via BAU Music on April 11.

Supreme Court hears Addison execution appeal
CONCORD -- Family members of both slain Manchester Police Officer Michael Briggs and his convicted killer, Michael Addison, attended oral arguments today at the New Hampshire Supreme Court on the appeal of Addison's conviction and death sentence.
The all-day hearing includes 22 issues ranging from the trial venue to the wording of the instructions given to the jury that first convicted Addison of the October 2006 killing and then sentenced him to death rather than life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The justices are dividing the hearing into segments, with issues grouped. The issues in the morning session were on jury instructions, the venue, the evidence of past crimes and the Hillsborough County Superior Court North judge's refusal to permit introduction of a section of Addison's recorded interview with police in which he said he didn't intend to shoot Briggs.
Defense attorney David Rothstein argued the venue for the trial should have been "anywhere that's not 100 yards from the police department," referring to the distance between the court and the Manchester Police Department.
But assistant attorney general Elizabeth Woodcock countered that the shooting of a police officer is a "unique event" and said because of that and the media coverage, "People generally knew about this."
The defense also said that the prosecution's recounting of the educational, social and entertainment options available to a convict serving a life sentence unfairly impacted the jury's sentencing decision.
But Justice Robert Lynn said when the defense used as a mitigating factor, "To die in prison is harsh," then it was fair for the prosecution to say what is available to prisoners, including television.
The session was to resume at 1 p.m. After oral testimony, the justices will have thousands of pages of trial transcripts and written arguments to read and consider before reaching a decision.

David Kwiatkoski is accused of injecting himself with syringes, then refilling and replacing them. Kwiatkowski has Hepatitis C and passed it on to hospital patients who were injected with his used syringes. He was arrested July 19 in New Hampshire and charged with illegally obtaining drugs and tampering with a consumer product.
Kwiatkowski has worked in 13 hospitals in eight states, including HaysMed in Hays, Kansas. The Hays Daily News reports he worked at worked in the cardiac catheterization laboratory at HaysMed from May 24 to Sept. 22, 2010.
The third patient was identified by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Tuesday.
The KDHE said that 474 HaysMed patients could have been exposed to Hepatitis C. More than 350 people have been tested for the virus. At least three have tested positive for the strain.
Patients who have questions about Hepatitis C or their laboratory results can contact Hays Medical Center at 877-261-7140 or KDHE at 877-427-7317.

I have a very elaborate header that uses lettering.js to style each individual letter.
Changing the text size with media queries would force me to change other aspect such as
top, and
right (relative) position as well as rotation and other styles separately.
I've found in webkit
transform: scale() works well and scales all aspects of the design, not just the font size.
Do other browsers have bugs that make this a bad solution? It seems to have reasonably good browser support, but I'm worried about bugs and pixelization on other browsers and rendering engines.
What are the (if any) drawbacks of using CSS3 transform: scale on text for responsive headers?

a nostalgic moment
James was driving home, cruising through the countryside and the places along the way brought back memories, especially when he passes the Russell Farm.
Meeting Dave
A chance meeting of two lonely men turns into an exciting venture into dominance and submission. Part 1
Michael's Ghost - Chapter 1
It was one of those days that you get in the deep south in early June. The only thing higher than the temperature that morning was the humidity. I had gone to the convenience store around the corner from my parents' house both to get something cool to drink and to get a break from the chores they had lined up for me.
Michael's Ghost - Chapter 2
I panicked when I saw him. David was naked! He was walking up the sidewalk toward my house completely naked!. His thickening cock swung gently back and forth with each step. His muscles moved effortlessly under his satin skin. He came up on the porch, picked me up out of my chair, and wrapped me up in his strong arms. His lips met mine, and we kissed. I heard my mother inside the house crying softly over the man who was stealing my ...
Michael's Ghost - Chapter 3
David shoved his cock deep in my throat. He was cumming. I pushed him back in time to get the last eruptions of his boiling cum. It felt like molten lead inside me, burning its way to my belly. I kept sucking, trying to pull more of the juice out of him.
Michael's Ghost - Chapter 4
David was desperate for love. In me he had found more that he had hoped for in that he meant as much to me as I did to him. Once again I knew I would do any thing he asked. I'd go anywhere to be with him, and I'd face any danger to please him.
Michael's Ghost - Chapter 5
David was desperate for love. In me he had found more that he had hoped for in that he meant as much to me as I did to him. Once again I knew I would do any thing he asked. I'd go anywhere to be with him, and I'd face any danger to please him.
Next Day!!!
Dave breaks the rules and submits to a bamboo stick!!!

The House for Men: The Gathering Part 7: The Silver Fox [His Younger Years] (HFM20)
I park the tractor beside his truck, near the ancient oak on the south side of the pond. I get down, unzip my jeans, take my own cock out, and take a piss next to him. "Boy, that cock of yours gets you in to more trouble than anything else," he says. He finishes his piss, shakes the last drops from his flaccid cock and leaves it dangling out over the zipper of his jeans. He is growing harder as he stands in the afternoon heat.
The House for Men: The Gathering Part 8: The Fox, the Coach and the Farm Stud (HFM21) CONCLUSION
"You gonna pound his ass like you said you do?" Rex says, "I wanna see it." "Oh, I will," I boast. My motions are swift and powerful. In the steam-filled shower room, the echoes of flesh against flesh fill the large communal wet room. The Coach's silky wet muscular walls of his ass are squeezing me with varying intensity. I let out barely audible moans, as his ass grips me and brings me closer and closer to filling him with my much ...

...spurts erupt from his cock, as he shoots gobs of white man-juice onto his hairy-furred chest, as he has leaned back onto the bed of his truck, with his legs propped up, exposing his gloriously hairy hole, when he commenced shooting his load. He covers his muscle-defined furred chest and even shot his goateed face with his cum. Some cum makes it into his wavy hair, as his cap, lies behind him in the truck bed, and onto the folds of ...
The Hunting Lodge - Out in the Woods (HL2)
I fondle my cock as it is freed from my clothing. The slight morning coolness hardens both of my nipples. I reach and tweak them with my strong hairy fingers, feeling them grow even harder in the air. My cock reacts to the stimulation too and begins to stiffen up because of the nipple play. "You gonna get naked, brother," I say to Jesse, not my real brother, but my comrade in southern maleness.
The Hunting Lodge - Preacher Man (HL4)
Poulan spreads his legs, leaning back, propped up in a makeshift 'V' on the bending of his arms. The sweat is doing the same across his furry body too. He raises his hips, pushing his shaft, more and more into my mouth, forcing me to swallow him, deeper. "Swallow it, Travis," he says, "Swallow that hard cock."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
What's in a W?
A lot of memories, for one sports-memorabilia collector
Today's story is brought to you by the letter W. A hollow, one-of-a-kind, one-metre-by-one-metre, aluminum W.
The story dates back nearly a decade, when the Winnipeg Arena was laid to rest by a demolition team that administered the coup de grâce with explosives.
For our purposes, though, it starts more recently, in late December, when a 46-year-old Winnipeg woman -- who has requested anonymity -- called with a request. Could I help her get Neil Young's autograph when he was in town this week? People asking for help getting the signature of a touring celebrity isn't unusual in itself. What made this request different was what Neil Young was expected to sign. She wanted the former Kelvin High School student to sign the letter W that was salvaged back in 2005 from the sign above the front entrance to the Winnipeg Arena.
How did she end up with such a unique, symbolically significant souvenir of our city's past? Well, the way she tells it, back at the end of 2005, she just called someone at Rakowski Cartage & Wrecking and asked for it.
"I told him my husband was hard to buy for. And I really wanted that W."
And about a month later, the guy from the wrecking company called back and told her to come and get it. No charge.
It turns out there's another reason the wife wanted that letter in particular. Her husband had seats high up in the Winnipeg Stadium stands where he could admire the sign. And when he heard the building was coming down, he began coveting the first letter of both the building and the city he's so proud of. He's a sports-memorabilia collector, in case you hadn't gathered.
But what do you do with it once you've got it? In his case, he made space for it on his basement wall.
Then what?
Then you start carting the letter around, collecting autographs of athletes and entertainers who played in the Winnipeg Arena over five decades.
Starting with Gordie Howe.
Old No. 9 showed up at the hotel where the wife works and she asked Howe if he would sign the W.
He was happy to.
"He thought it was a really wonderful thing," she said.
Then Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings hit town together.
She knew someone well-placed at the MTS Centre and she knew he would understand the significance the letter W.
"He has the E," she explained.
So she asked if he would ask Randy and Burton to sign the W.
Which they were happy to do, too.
Then one summer, when Alexander Steen was playing host to his celebrity golf tournament, the husband showed up with the W. Now the W proudly wears the signatures of Guy Lafleur and Mark Messier, along with local favourites Joe Daley, Ab McDonald, Thomas Steen, Anders Hedberg, Ulf Nilsson and best of all, Bobby Hull.
I say best of all Bobby Hull because of something the husband shared with me Friday. We were talking about where -- other than his basement wall -- the W really belongs, and I suggested it really should be in a place where we can all see it and remember all it represents.
The MTS Centre would be ideal.
"I totally agree with that," the husband said.
If he ever parted with his prize possession, he would want something in return, though.
No, not money.
"I would never sell it," he said.
But first, he feels Bobby Hull's career and connection to Winnipeg need to be celebrated and permanently acknowledged at the MTS Centre. Only then would he donate the W.
"People have to realize if it wasn't for Bobby Hull there would be none of this."
Of course, there are others responsible for what we have now with the next-generation NHL Winnipeg Jets, but I understand what he means, and I agree. So give us a B and an H to go with that W. And get all of it in the MTS Centre where it all belongs.
Oh, one more thing.
If you were wondering if I managed to help get Neil Young to sign the W, the answer is no.
But here's a thematic postscript.
After his news conference at the Centennial Concert Hall on Thursday afternoon, Neil did an impromptu autograph session for a group of young women huddled patiently in the cold behind the building. But when Free Press photographer Joe Bryksa tried to snap a shot, one of Young's security detail snapped, too. He smacked Joe's camera out of the way. And with that, the autograph session ended.
One can only shudder at the thought of what Neil Young's hired help would have done if someone had approached our hometown hero to autograph a giant, aluminum W.
W still loves ya anyway, Neil.
Republished from the Winnipeg Free Press print edition January 18, 2014 B1
Updated on Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 6:51 PM CST: Correction to reflect that W is made of aluminum, not cast-iron.

Product description
It's time to stop just worrying about climate change, says Paul Gilding. We need instead to brace for impact because global crisis is no longer avoidable. This Great Disruption started in 2008, with spiking food and oil prices and dramatic ecological changes, such as the melting ice caps. It is not simply about fossil fuels and carbon footprints. We have come to the end of Economic Growth, Version 1.0, a world economy based on consumption and waste, where we lived beyond the means of our planet's ecosystems and sources. "The Great Disruption" offers a stark and unflinching look at the challenge humanity faces--yet also a deeply optimistic message. The coming decades will see loss, suffering, and conflict as our planetary overdraft is paid; however, they will also bring out the best humanity can offer: compassion, innovation, resilience, and adaptability. Gilding tells us how to fight--and in--what he calls the One Degree War to prevent catastrophic warming of the earth, and how to start today. The crisis represents a rare chance to replace our addiction to growth with an ethic of sustainability, and it's already happening. It's also an unmatched business opportunity: Old industries will collapse while new companies will literally reshape our economy. In the aftermath of the Great Disruption, we will measure "growth" in a new way. It will mean not quantity of stuff but quality and happiness of life. Yes, there is life after shopping.

Even before paying for things on the net, make certain to learn more about the credibility of the shop. There really are lots of strategies to realize if the company you're considering ordering through is quality. Initially, one can set out by assessing their testimonials history on common ecommerce web sites. One can often assess if the company you are really considering is highly regarded or not with the help of their feed-back. Later, find comments for this specific supplier, company, or retail store. Look out for both good and bad reviews to make sure that you would have a very good awareness of what you are really entering into. If you're assessing a really substantial sale, ensure to go to the BBB to see to it that you're working with a firm that does not have a good deal of bad criticisms.
You can hardly ever be overly safe anytime you're going shopping on the net. Not under any condition furnish debit card details over electronic mails or unprotected connections. Make an effort to reduce your bank card use to internet-based settlement applications and don't ever deliver it over the telephone except if you are sure you're associating with a reputable firm that you've phoned by yourself. BY NO MEANS release your bank card details and confidential details to any person who phones you.
Retail therapy on the net is very simple and reliable provided you are practical concerning it. Know about from where you are really purchasing from, who you are really purchasing from, precisely what you are really getting, and the moment it will come in.
If you're ordering a product that entails neighborhood pick-up, this site intently propose you bring along another person with you. Never meet persons for the 1st time if you are on one's own, except if you meet in a communal spot. Including then, ensure that others have an idea of just where you are and who you are really heading to meet long before you leave your house. Safeguards really should typically be your first interest.
