AT&T 4G LTE Coming to Salt Lake City in 2012
More customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices
SALT LAKE CITY, April 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* plans to roll out 4G LTE in Salt Lake City later this year, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson announced the plans today at the company's annual meeting of stockholders.
AT&T 4G LTE provides several benefits, including:
-- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet
speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers can stream, download,
upload and game faster than ever before.
-- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the first LTE Windows
Phone Nokia Lumia 900, Samsung Galaxy Note(TM), and Pantech Element(TM)
-- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the
processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how
long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent
the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming,
two-way video calling and telemedicine.
-- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource,
and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating
more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better
network experience.
"AT&T customers in Salt Lake City can look forward to even faster mobile Internet speeds before year's end, on our leading lineup of smartphones and devices," said Jenifer Robertson, vice president and general manager, AT&T Rocky Mountain Region. "We're excited to bring Salt Lake City all that 4G LTE has to offer. Our teams will be working hard across the city toward our upcoming launch."
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T customers have access to the nation's largest 4G network, covering more than 260 million people. According to recent third-party speed tests by PCWorld, AT&T 4G LTE speeds are faster than the competition. Testing in 13 cities showed that AT&T's combination of 4G LTE and HSPA+ technologies delivered faster download speeds than any other carrier tested.
Even as 4G LTE expands, AT&T customers are able to enjoy widespread, ultra-fast and consistent 4G speeds on their compatible device as they move in and out of LTE areas. AT&T has two 4G networks that work together for customers, LTE and HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul. With other carriers, when you travel outside of their LTE coverage area, you're on a much slower 3G network.
Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. Deployment ongoing. 4G LTE device and data plan required. Up to 10x claim compares 4G LTE download speeds to industry average 3G download speeds. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. 4G speeds not available everywhere. Learn more about 4G LTE at att.com/network.

Designjunction is, in its own words, 'a contemporary design show' which is actually the prize part of the London Design Festival. This is its third year. Last year it attracted over 17,000 visitors and serves to platform the very best in international design ranging from lighting through to furniture.
This is where StudioLav finds itself from 18-22 September at the centrally located 1960's Postal Sorting Office in London as one of the best international design companies. Not surprising as they were shortlisted for the Young Designer of the Year category for the Elle Decoration International Design Awards 2013.
The youthful energy of this young company carries within its products and design, wisdom as well as making use of modern materials and production techniques. This is enhanced through their newest collection, which will be showcasing at designjunction called OMBRO.
One might be reminded of the romance of old film reel in the patterning of these tables, even though the tops can be cleverly changed for differing colours to suit one's own interior tastes. Perhaps, that's why these two bright sparks Loukas and Vasso (who are StudioLav) named this collection OMBRO. A word which describes a cinematic technique to produce moving image through illusion of space, line and alternating form. Of course, it's clear to see and indeed even feel the magic of the layered geometry combined with the most precise of angles in the production of the finished products.
Talking to Loukas in London as he prepares for this spectacular event, and enquiring as to his and Vasso's inspiration, it's the railings, the gates, the shadows and the sun. It's how light strikes and creates and overlaps. These tables come alive and one feels as if they could be growing in the garden let alone, decorating the inside of the house.
Why tables and why not anything else? I'm asking, considering that StudioLav is already known for their detailed crockery, their luxurious chairs, quirky food stamps and their very funky pencils. The table, Loukas gently says, his voice like a 3B pencil sketching a shadow, the table is in view at all times. We sit on chairs and although we use them, we stop seeing them. The table is intrinsic to the house.
Curious to know where StudioLav's priority lies, the questions keep coming and Loukas obliges, both excitedly and calmly to stress that although the central idea is exceptionally important, there must always be a balance between concept and functionality at all times.
Two and half years of working together but apart, Vasso working from Athens and Loukas based in London, the distance between, although sacrificing the immediacy of creation, is working well for them as they become more and more successful to now international acclaim and recognition.
How marvelous then, that it is possible to view this newest collection OMBRO and imagine letting the sun fall through the window and the light patterns travel over the floor or wall as it hits the table in your living room or bedroom. StudioLav's ideas are always fresh, exciting and new. This collection excites and pleases in the same way. Make a point of getting to designjunction in London between 18-22 September at The Sorting Office, 21-31 New Oxford Street, London, WC1A 1BA to see StudioLav's stunning designs at Stand F16A.

The world renowned Alexandra Eldridge's paintings are being exhibited again. What absolute joy to have the chance for exploration of the space between the temporal outer world and the latent internal world that she creates. Alexandra's use of collage, paint and Venetian plaster is just the tip of the iceberg of her creativity and sublime imagery, reaching from the depths of her subconscious out into that of the viewer, leaving traces within, of her mysterious and message laden works that might be earthy and transcendent to some but to others, lift into the realm of power and ultimate forces of nature which drive the universe we all inhabit.
In this solo exhibition, Meetings with My Daemons, Alexandra's paintings once again take the viewer on a journey, original to both parties. It is a witness or indeed a recounting of profundity, the strike of revelation based on her experience in the deeply magical and spiritual Kauai, where she tells of the getting of a vision of her soul image. These mythical encounters, streamed from her subconscious, spilled into her paintings as animals and symbols and now stands testament not only to her brilliance but offering a modicum of insight into the elusive shadows of beauty that exist within her mind.
Alexandra Eldridge is an artist of international standing and repute and has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally in over forty solo and group exhibitions. She has also conducted numerous workshops and had residencies in France, Italy, Spain and throughout the United States. Her physical body currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico but her spirit lives within each painting at each location it finds itself.
Until 22 September 2013

Did you know that only 10% of the world's population lives in countries where same sex marriage has been legalised? Homosexual behaviour is still criminalised in more than 38 countries around the world. Tolerance and acceptance is not the norm. However in countries which are lacking in education and resources it is almost possible to understand how this might be the case. It is easier to look at a third world states and understand how ignorance can flourish. It is then all the more shocking when a country of resources, education and international standing begins to change its laws to walk down the dark path of criminalisation of homosexuality in any form.
Although male homosexuality was actually decriminalised in 1993 in the Federation of Russia, there is a distinct absence of legislation, which protects against all discrimination or harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity in Russia. Notably same-sex marriages and civil unions are not recognised. However, it is the most recent of the Russian Federation's legislation, which has the international community protesting. Many states within the Federation have had their own legislation for some time prohibiting information dissemination with reference to homosexuality. This year, a federal bill was passed which banned the distribution of 'propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations' to minors. One could be tempted to see it as one of the biggest smoke-screens for some time and wonder what other legislation or political manoeuverings are taking place in or by the Russian Federation. Human Rights, after all, provide a perfect eclipse as any audience is forced into an emotional knee jerk reaction to such laws. What else is happening in Russia?
But whether this is an incredible elaborate smokescreen or not, the issue remains, that an educated country is closing the door on basic human rights. There is no complicated argument which needs investigation here. It is a simple case of repression and oppression; some have been quoted as saying that the Russian Federation is taking a step back into the Middle Ages. It matters not what century one is looking at, we all live in the present and cannot ignore today.
What is next? With international governments making very little difference to the Federation's legislative bent, can it be expected that Tchaikovsky's vast legacy will be published and performed under a different name in case minors are affected by the history of one Russia's (up until now) favourite sons? Are Maria Feodorova's literary works to be burned or banned? Will Lenin's own decriminalisation of homosexuality or even Yeltsin's 1993 decriminalisation be removed from the history books in schools and universities? Perhaps the Ballets Russes will be disbanded considering it was founded by Sergei Diaghilev and will all traces of Nijinsky and Nureyev be scratched from view? Pushkin might not have been gay but openly wrote about the bonus of male bedfellows when communicating with his gay friend Philip Vigel. Perhaps all of his prose and poetry needs to be removed from the bookshelves instantly too?
Let's not forget Nikolai Gogol's plays and stories or even Tolstoy's musings on his own homosexual attractions in his autobiographical writing of his childhood. The list of gay/bisexual Russians who are prominent in the arts is extensive. Poets Mikhail Kuzmin (1972-1936), Vyacheslav Ivanovich Ivanov (1866-1946), Nikolai Klyuev (1887-1937), Sergei Yesenin (1895-1925) and Ryurik Ivnev (189-1981). Let's not forget the painter Alexander Andreyevich Ivanov (1806-1858), composer Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881), publisher Anna Yevreinova (1844-1919), and filmmaker Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein (1989-1948) to name but a few who are part of not only Russia's cultural history but more notably the cultural history of the species homo sapiens on this planet.
Today's gay and bisexual artists, writers and composers not only need acknowledgement but also protection and nurturing. It is safe to mention Slava Mogutin (1974 -) Siberian born artist, sculptor and author who is currently based in New York. Thanks to the United States and the work of Amnesty International and PEN American Center, he has been granted political asylum. How many other incredible creatives such as Slava are left struggling in the Russian Federation?
Perhaps we should also begin to wonder whether gay engineers or architects who have built prominent buildings, bridges or icons will now be forgotten as their creations are destroyed or their own histories re-written? Do not be sidetracked. This issue is not just about the arts; it's about the situation we should all enjoy not as a luxury or privilege but as a basic human right.
It is time for the Pandorian to take a stand, smokescreen or not. Let none sit idly by, loving the arts, whether music, dance or literature to the detriment of not only our mutual history but also the present day cultivation of what humans have to offer which separates us from animals, which is the sophistication and demonstration of beauty in all its forms and those who create it and perform it, regardless of their gender preference or sexual orientation.

Considering that the average production budget of a major studio film in 2007 was $106 million [source: MPAA] (approximately £65 million) and although we know that Edward Burns managed to produce his Newlyweds for $120K (just under £74K) including editing and post production costs, how is it possible to create a film for only £15000?
Well, that's just what The Minister of Chance team is doing right now in Cheshire, UK. Already with a cult following on the internet, Radio Static is the brave independent firm which is taking podcast to film. The Minister of Chance podcast first series received nominations from the BBC and USA Parsec Awards and hails an internationally acclaimed cast including Jenny Agutter OBE, Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, Tamsin Greig, Jed Brophy and Philip Glenister to name but a few.
Reviews of the original series were glowing:
" …startling… a joy to listen to… world-class… magic… superb… haunting… intricate… sucks you in and holds you… so poetic that you're happy to go along with every twist… fascinating… a gorgeous audio experience."
Greg Jameson, Entertainment Focus
"…fabulous… truly wonderful… the cast is absolutely phenomenal… the writing excellent… outstanding."
Seattle Star
"…excellent… gripping."
The Guardian
"…transports you to another world… eclipses nearly every audio adventure I've listened to… flawless… this future classic."
Paul Gee, Who News Extra
"… superb… full of depth and flavour… sublime."
Sam Fleming, Singularity
The Writer and Director Dan Freeman, together with the Executive Producer Clare Eden, have, through the podcasts, taken the listeners back into the realm of imagination, where weekly story telling on the wireless was an essential part of life. Except that now the wireless is the internet and not a radio, but the realm of the imagination still reigns supreme in human beings and largely due to the success of the crowd-funded podcast project, a film is currently underway in the UK. A film which is working to a budget of £15000. OK. Perhaps it's time to 'fess-up' and say it's not quite a full feature film – more like a very short film of the prologue of the series which has been rewritten to accommodate a more cinematic and visually powerful style. But it's still a film; just not quite of blockbuster proportions one might have originally hoped.
Austerity measures might be in place when compared to Hollywood's funds but there is no skimping on talent. Top quality writing attracts top quality talent which, in turn, gives award winning performances. What is really refreshing is to hear from the Executive Producer how the 'talent' are hardworking, fun and professional. Tim McInnery, for instance, once a favourite as Lord Percy or Captain Darling in the Black Adder Series, a well established actor of stage, screen and radio, was described as "everything we hoped he'd be – fantastic in the role of the King, and a total gent to work with." Mark Lewis played the king in the original series and was going to be in the film, but an offer from Ridley Scott meant he wasn't available. Tim McInnery however, has stepped into the part with impressive results.
A quick peek at the whole cast list is evidence enough of several combined lifetimes of excellence from both young and seasoned actors alike. This short film, also featuring the Cheshire landscape as well as promoting and using local talent, for a country coming out of recession, is an example of ingenuity, entrepreneurship and a refusal to wait for the 'big boys' to make something beautiful.
More and more independent production companies are taking it upon themselves to create and develop art, music and literature. Crowd-funding platforms are commonplace and all one needs to do it seems – is believe. This £15000 has been raised through crowd-funding and is a perfect example of how the process of creation has changed. Interestingly they are making the film and still continuing with their campaign until 10th November, when their limited edition purchases will no longer be available.
What is the Ministry of Chance about? Well, without offering any kind of spoiler the prologue called The Pointed Hand gives this description as a starter to the series…
"A strange new world… Ambassador Durian of Sezuan (Paul McGann) is dispatched to the primitive island nation of Tanto. However, his offers of friendship to the belligerent King (Mark Lewis) fall on deaf ears, and things take a turn for the very, very sinister."
For me, the presence of the smoother-than-chocolate Paul McGann is enough to stimulate interest (of course, for his sublime acting talents), but essentially, The Minister of Chance is a science fiction fantasy-adventure series which will amuse, beguile and titillate the eardrums, stimulate that grey matter of yours and I warn you, can be quite, quite addictive. The film promises to feed the eyes as well as a sense of adventure. There will even be some special effects and I understand that Paul McGann's rocket ship landed in Chester's Roman amphitheatre for the film!
It's fun and the podcast series definitely harked back and offered a nod to old style radio dramas but the excitement in this new film production is many layered. Firstly that it is crowd-funded; public opinion does count, secondly that it is supported by a hugely gifted cast and crew, thirdly that is comes from the hand of the immensely talented Dan Freeman and fourthly that it is unafraid to create and present as a development from an already highly successful independent project.
The original podcast series is free to download through their website http://www.ministerofchance.com or even though ITunes. Why not get up to speed while you wait for the movie to be finished? You never know – you might even get a chance to be part of its film campaign and on a such a small budget, I suspect they might still need you!

If you happen to be in London until the 24th of November 2013 don't miss the extraordinary exhibition Saints Alive by Michael Landy at the National Gallery.
Saints are more often associated with traditional sacred art than with contemporary work, but Michael Landy, current Rootstein Hopkins Associate Artist in residence at the National Gallery, has been inspired to revisit the subject for this exhibition.
Landy's large-scale sculptures consist of fragments of National Gallery paintings cast in three dimensions and assembled with one of his artistic hallmarks – refuse. He has scoured car boot sales and flea markets accumulating old machinery, cogs and wheels to construct the works. Visitors can crank the works into life with a foot pedal mechanism.
Towering over you, the seven sculptures swivel and turn, in movements that evoke the drama of each saint's life. Saints Apollonia, Catherine, Francis, Jerome, Thomas – and an additional sculpture that takes a number of saints as its inspiration – fill the Sunley Room alongside paper collages.
Born in London in 1963, Landy attended Goldsmiths College and is part of the generation of artists who became known as the YBAs (Young British Artists). He is best known for his 2001 installation, 'Break Down', where he catalogued and then destroyed all of his possessions in a former department store in London.

My father has this annoying habit
of putting on a song to listen to and then
and while my emotions are wrestled
tortured and dragged kicking and swearing
through the mire of all the world's darkest caves
a part of me says hi,
says thanks for explaining how now and then are inextricably bound
he's dead
And the dead give up their right to a voice the minute they pay
the ferry man
since I first saw you
I have been
aware of his existence
cheroot, cap, and torn clothes
his purse, an open box on
the floor
each step I take closer to you
he comes more clearly into view
you brought me back into the river
and some days
I'm swimming upstream
can't work out whether you're the riptide
that'll pull me down
the current which will pull me along
there's no such thing as a life jacket
to save me from these waters
when I'm swimming I turn the music up
no more sounds to drown out
just got to find a reef shelf to help my stability
to stop me drifting out
hear me shout
I'm here
Sweet baby
I'm here

there is no title to this page
and you have no name to be spoken
there has been no food shared
no lips kissed
no drinks spilled in favour of
no songs no poetry no gifts
and although i am not the only one
who refuses to make comparisons
between what has not occurred
and what cannot be acknowledged
there is still no title to this page
and you have no name to be spoken
and in some other dimension
this time has already slipped
in between pages of a book
for discovery
because someone will recognise
the emptiness and in that
solace of space
there will still be no title nor name
and a thousand stars will have exploded
in galaxies unseen
and if i did decide to give this to you
then you might have to exist

I'd like to propose a toast…
to dreams
and to the bold
Men and Women
that dare to dream them
to the wild-eyed visionaries
that plant seeds in their
hearts with hopes
to one day see them
come to pass
for prayers
sweeter than papayas
that rise from the
deepest darkest
depths of our cellars
where my heart
is pumping out
prayers like mass
to the foresight
that illuminates our
foreshadows that
whirl in the glass
of our souls
to those robust
farm workers clad
in jeans, flannels
handkerchiefs and hats
for all the mamas and papas that
wear their skin like worn leather
who are wrinkled and red like raisins
and whose wrinkles hold stories like wine jugs and whose woes
are ten miles deeper than any winemaker's pocket book
this one's for them
for all of the grandmas
and grandpas that look like stucco
whose eyes look like ice wines
with frost outlining their irises
for the crows-feet perched
perfectly on their eyelids
and their white hair flowing
like broken clouds passing
through windmill slices
for century old spines like gnarly
vines in vineyards for lilac diamonds
to the god-like elders
for our aging wines and
their timeless guidance
this one's for floral notes
sung by the brown folks
for the flower vendor
the one that puts
the rose in rosary
for a gorgeous culture
that rose from dirt so openly
for arms that open like blossoms
for womb-like palms that deliver
the grape from bondage
and carry it from
conception to fruition
and beyond the goblet
for the seed that dreams itself
larger than grapes and transcends wine, song, couplet and sonnet
to cherry pickers like
rebels with barreled chests
waging war with their wages
who hurl their dreams
like Molotov cocktails
into our amber waves of grain
whose knuckles are
gnarled and strained
for the work of a dreamer
is stainless and honest
for the protagonist, the antithesis, the subplot and most importantly the conflict
you see
I know copper-skinned
women and men
that work for pennies
I know mothers that
never feel beaten
machine-like Mothers
that clean hotels by day
sell Avon at night
and work the fields
on the weekends
so this one's for freedom
for children with eyes like plums
whose hair looks like dark chocolate
waterfalls pouring out and catching the sun
for precious sun-flowers
with green thumbs that
have never been embarrassed
of their hardworking parents
that pick pears and pluck asparagus
this one's for the families that get scattered for work all across the Americas
its ugly
I know a girl that was
held for ransom at birth
just beneath the border
by bad men known
as Coyotes who you
gotta pay to smuggle dreams
into this country
its beyond ugly
its heart crushing
so this one's for the underbelly
for the juggling of children over rivers
for dodging dogs & militias
for sliding dreams past
the law writers passing
laws higher than the
barbed wire they're casting
the people they're pruning
and the hopes they're smashing
to the Mighty Migrant Worker
may your hands and spine
always nurture the vine
may the cups of all your tomorrows
be filled with the fruits of your labor
and may the dreams you
dream of find freedom
in the land of your neighbor
to you
Quisiera hacer un brindis…
un brindis por los sueños
y por los valientes hombres
y las fuertes mujeres
que se atrevan a soñarlos.
Un brindis por los visionarios
cuyos ojos iluminados
siembran semillas en sus corazones
con la esperanza de verlas, algún día,
llegar a florecer.
Un brindis por los rezos
más dulces que papayas
que se levantan de la más onda
y oscura profundidad
de nuestra bodega
donde mi corazón bombea
los rezos como en la misa.
Y brindemos por la previsión
que ilumina nuestro presagio
que gira en la copa de nuestra alma.
Brindemos por los robustos granjeros
con sus franelas, vaqueros, pañuelos y gorras por las mamás y los papás
que llevan su piel como cuero gastado
arrugado y rojo como uvas pasas
cuyas arrugas guardan historias como jarras de vino
cuyas congojas alcanzan diez millas más allá de la cartera
de cualquier vinicultor
Este es por ellos
por todas las Abuelas
y por todos los Abuelos
quienes se parecen al estuco
cuyos ojos son como vinos helados
con escarcha rodeada en sus iris.
Este es por las patas de gallo
perfectamente posadas
y su cabello cano volando
como nubes pasando
por las tejadas del molino.
Este es por las columnas
vertebrales, antiguas y nudosas
de las parras del viñedo
como diamantes de lilo
y viejos sabios
por nuestro vino añejo
y su guía eterna
Este es por las notas de Flora
cantada por la gente morena y
por la vendedora de rosas
que echa rosas en el rosario y
por una cultura hermosa
que salió de la tierra tan abierta
Este es por los brazos
que se abren como flores
por las palmas del vientre
que salvan a la uva
de su servidumbre
y la lleva de su concepción
al hecho y más allá de la copa
Este es por la semilla
que sueña en sí misma
más allá de las uvas
y trasciende el vino,
el canto, la copla y el soneto.
Este es por Ella.
Este es por los recogedores de cerezas
rebeldes con pecho de barril
declarando la guerra contra sus sueldos quienes lanzan sus sueños
como cócteles Molotov
hacia nuestras alas amarillas
de trigo, cuyos nudillos
nudosos y cansados
por el trabajo de un soñador inoxidable y sincero por el protagonista, el antitesis,
la trama secundaria y, más importante, el conflicto
Ya ves
Yo conozco a hombres y a mujeres
de piel de cobre que cobran centimos
Yo conozco a Madres
que nunca se sienten vencidas
Madres de máquina
que limpian hoteles de día y
que venden Avon de noche y
que labran en el campo en los findes
este por la libertad
por los Niños con ojos de ciruela
cuyo cabello es como el chocolate
como cataratas vertiendo agua
y atrapando el sol
por los girasoles preciosos
con manos de jardinero
que nunca han sentido la vergüenza
de sus padres obreros
que recogen las peras
y que arrancan el espárrago
este por las familias dispersas por toda América en busca de trabajo
Y es feo.
Yo conozco a una chica
que fue secuestrada del parto
justo en la frontera
por hombres malos
conocidos como Coyotes
y a quienes se paga
por contrabandear
sueños a este país
La fealdad del hecho
te agrieta el corazón.
Entonces este es por los invisibles
por el malabarismo de los niños por los ríos
por el escape de los perros y los paramilitares
por el tropiezo de los sueños
por el aprobado del legislado
cuyas leyes sobrepasan
el alambre de púas que pasan
por las personas que podan
y los sueños que quiebran
Al Poderoso Obrero Migrante
que tus manos y espinazo
siempre alimente a la parra,
que las copas de tu mañana
estén llenas de las frutas de tu labor
y que encuentren tus sueños
la libertad en la tierra de tu vecino.
Este es por ti.

What is Flight Rising?
For me, it's like neopets for "adults", although, I've heard people compare it to other it to some dog breeding site, I know nothing about XD. Basically, get some dragons, breed some dragons, expand your lair, and fight some monsters.
Why should you join?

What's your sn?
andreas is the username I go by over there (basically my real name, with an S XD), and if you put that I suggested that you joined, I get a pat on the head, and some treasure. (which is awesome)
YEP, you guys should come join. It's a great way to kill time, and totally not be productive. Trust me. I've been ignoring stupid life problems on that site for a month now! TOTALLY healthy XD

Letters to the Editor
Vail Daily letter: Liar-in-chiefNovember 24, 2014 —
All in all the liar-in-chief (LIC) has had a pretty good fortnight. He set up a quasi-deal on global warming promising strict U.S. carbon reductions — which we will pay for — in exchange for something (undefined) by the Chinese 26 years from now. Heck of a deal; the eco-hysterics are orgasmic. Then he told the Aussie press that — despite more than 20 meetings at the White House, including at least one with Obama — Gruber is a low level functionary who had little to do with the strategy for Obamacare passage. Then on prime time television he starts off his "immigration speech" with three or four outright lies or twisted exaggerations about facts dealing with the recent history of people pouring across our borders. Of course he has said 19 or 20 times that he is constitutionally unable to use executive orders to "fix" immigration. But wait, his view has "evolved" (to use the words of the White House mouthpiece) and he now can do this. And besides, he is tired of waiting for the Republican House to act (I guess nobody told him he had control of both houses for two years).
Gruber repeatedly praises deceit, deception and lies as the path to passage of controversial legislation. Looks like he and the LIC have quite a lot in common. But no problem, as American voters, many of us are too stupid to catch on.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Distasteful adNovember 24, 2014 —
Do you need advertising revenue so much that you're willing to turn our hometown newspaper into a sleazy rag? I refer to the ad in (Monday's) paper, Page A8, placed by Roots Rx in Avon. "Women cry for it! Men die for it! Unleashed passions!" accompanied by a lewd picture that leaves no doubt about sexual intentions. This is the type of ad I'd expect in a NYC porno paper! In addition to debasing women, do you want to send a message to our youth that sex is only good with drugs? Etc., etc. For shame!

Vail Daily letter: Less than world-classNovember 23, 2014 —
I just got pushed out of a local Starbucks.
Now that I'm old and retired, I wanted to sit in the sun for a few minutes — read the papers (I got lucky and found a used New York Times). The staff wanted the blinds closed — "the sunshine hurts my eyes." So I moved, twice, trying to accommodate them but no success. They pursued and closed the third set of blinds.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Gluwein memoriesNovember 20, 2014 —
I like the Gluwein article. The gray on gray in the bland severity of the German winter is oppressive, it seems to never end — so they have a lot of street festivals. But it is not always just about the food or drink.
They serve Gluwein very cheap in a street festival environment — and they play a little game, too. You must put down your glass of it before you finish it and not pay attention to it. If someone else drinks it and you don't notice, you cant get mad — it's like a bad omen or bad luck. But if they catch you doing it, you have to get them another glass and drink it with them. It is really great, there are some really smooth wine thieves there — and it's so much fun! The sugar and the wine make it harder and harder not to laugh your head off when they get mad about someone nabbing their wine. It all makes for heaps of fun.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Grave dangerNovember 20, 2014 —
History certainly does have the nasty habit of repeating itself, and nowhere is this more evident than in the comparison of world events in 1940 with what is happening in the Middle East today.
In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Hitler's mob was on the march and this impressive juggernaut appeared unstoppable, with only a badly-battered England standing in the way of the Nazis riding roughshod over all of Western Europe and Russia.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: SANE program neededNovember 18, 2014 —
It is of great concern that the Vail Valley Medical Center lacks the ability to help women involved in a rape crisis. I became aware of the VVMC's inability to collect forensic data following an attack, after hearing that the woman involved in the alleged rape by an Eagle County sheriff's deputy had to be taken to Summit County to be seen by a registered SANE nurse.
A Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) is a registered nurse who has been specially educated and trained to provide comprehensive care to adult and child survivors of sexual assault, as well as suspects,and to provide expert testimony in a court of law. A SANE is responsible for the immediate medical care of sexual assault victims and the collection of exquisite forensic evidence, and understands the complexities of sexual victimization. Having a SANE program greatly benefits the community by improving the medical and judicial response to sexual assault victims.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: I live in AvonNovember 14, 2014 —
Recently, the Vail Daily published a letter to the editor that I wrote about the town of Avon's purchase of the Skier Building. And a Ms. Amy Phillips wants to invalidate my points because she believes that I live in Bachelor Gulch, which I do not. My wife and I live full time, yes, full-time, in Avon. I do not vacation there. I am a past member of the Youth Foundation board and am joining the board of the Walking Mountain Science Center. I've danced to raise money for the Youth Foundation's Star Dancing Gala. My wife and I contribute generously to the Vilar Center. I am helping Foods of Vail move to its new location in Avon. All of this is being done as a full-time Avon resident.
Ms. Phillips, are you aware that everyone in Avon has their mail delivered to a P.O. box? Perhaps you want to have a drink at our home to verify that we actually live in Avon. You might want to check your facts before writing an inaccurate letter to the editor asking them to check their facts!Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Presidential derelictionNovember 14, 2014 —
As a starter, Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution prescribes that the Congress of the United States shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction over the issue of immigration (nationality). The Constitution goes on further to state that the president of the United States is tasked with the responsibility and duty to enforce the immigration laws established by that Congress. Article II does not grant the authority to legislate in the president.
In 1965, Congress enacted the Immigration and Nationality Act, and thereafter revised that legislation in 1986 with the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which established a pathway for illegal aliens to procure legal status in the United States. These two laws became the law of the land for immigration purposes, and I note further that the president is tasked with the unequivocal duty to enforce those laws as made and provided — no more and no less!Learn more »

Vail Daily letter: Suck it up and get to workNovember 11, 2014 —
Dear President Obama,
After waking up Wednesday morning, I am sure you could be forgiven for thinking that the world had come to an end. Having said this, please bear in mind that those newly elected lawmakers may be thinking quite the contrary. So I guess you could say that as a good starting point, both of you agree on something — that the status quo is in for somewhat of a shakeup.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Ask for physical addressesNovember 10, 2014 —
Can I ask a favor from you? You receive letters from many people and many points of view and the Vail Daily's ability to present those various perspectives is appreciated. When you receive letters regarding tax issues and government spending in various districts and municipalities, would you be so kind as to make sure that the author understands what district he or she lives in?
It is common for people to think that because they use an Avon Post Office box they pay property taxes to Avon and they vote in Avon. This is not the case. Eagle-Vail, Beaver Creek, Arrowhead and Bachelor Gulch property owners often have an Avon PO box, yet they may be better served concentrating on where their own Metropolitan Districts and HOAs are spending their property tax dollars, not where the Avon Town Council is.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Market-based solutionNovember 10, 2014 —
The elections are over (cue deep sighs of relief); in the new year we'll be represented in Congress by Cory Gardner, Michael Bennet and Scott Tipton.
My hope for the next Congress is that both parties will spend less time on politics and more on policies that actually solve the big problems before us. Not everything needs to be a partisan issue, where one party feels it has to stake out the opposite stance of the other.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Great giftsNovember 10, 2014 —
While you're starting to think about craft fairs and holiday presents, don't forget to check out the Eagle Visitors Center (on the way to the Fairgrounds). There is a whole room full of Colorado-made items, many from right here in Eagle County. I even found honey from Gypsum, which tastes like the honey of my childhood. Although the historical museum is closed in the winter, the Visitors Center is open year round. All those people passing through on I-70 shouldn't be the only ones to enjoy the center's fine crafts and hospitality.

Vail Daily letter: Get VerizonNovember 9, 2014 —
To Mr. Haims (Letters to the Editor, Sunday):
I have a much easier answer to your cell phone reception issue. Get Verizon service for goodness sakes! For 10 years now I hear my AT&T subscriber friends say the same thing, and I tell them the same thing. I never have dropped calls anywhere in the valley or on the mountains. The few dropped calls I have had are calls from my AT&T friends' phones.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Try this appNovember 8, 2014 —
If you have ever wondered why you sometimes have AT&T cell reception in certain areas of the county and at other times don't, there is no good answer. However, there is an app for that.
After repeatedly calling AT&T about dropped calls and areas of non-cellular coverage, I was recently informed that they have an app that can assist.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: States' rightsNovember 8, 2014 —
The people of Eagle County, in their collective wisdom, have elected James van Beek as their sheriff. With that event consummated, I pose one question to Sheriff van Beek — as we have a federal statute that proscribes the possession, cultivation, sale and consumption of marijuana (a schedule I narcotic) as a felony, and as we have a state constitutional amendment that legalizes that activity, where would your responsibility and loyalty lay when those two conflicting jurisdictions call upon you to perform your enforcement duties? Would you enforce the federal statute, even if it means the arrest and conviction of an Eagle County resident, or even worse, his death as a result of resistance? Would you enforce the Constitution of the state of Colorado and the ordinances of this county, if that would mean a physical confrontation with federal authorities?
As a citizen of the state of Colorado and this county, I would ask that you empathize with me as a "citizen" caught in a conundrum between two conflicting jurisdictions and the laws that they prescribe. And I therefore would request that you consider and take the direction toward "states' rights" in the performance of your duties and oath of office. Your obligation to the people of this county is to support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the state of Colorado, and the ordinances of Eagle County — in that order of priority. When you look to the U.S. Constitution for guidance, you will be cognizant of the 10th Amendment and Article I, Section 8 thereof. Nowhere therein can you find any expression relating to marijuana. You only find it buried in the tomes of the United States Code or the CFRs. Article I sets forth the delimited powers of the United States, and Amendment 10 provides that those powers not expressly granted to the U.S. are reserved to the states or to the people, e.g., people of Colorado.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Thanks for supportNovember 8, 2014 —
I am truly honored and humbled to have received the most votes in the recent election for Avon Town Council. I am extremely grateful for the support from so many different people and communities within Avon. It has been an amazing experience getting to know many of my neighbors over these past few months, and I look forward to representing you through my new role. For the next four years, I will work hard to follow through on my promises of building partnerships, making our local government inclusive and approachable, and focusing on pedestrian, biker and driver safety. Thank you to everyone who engaged in the election process as voters, candidates and supporters. A special thank you to my husband, Tim, for his unwavering belief in me and tireless support through the campaign.

Vail Daily letter: Important conversationsNovember 7, 2014 —
Amid the outreach hospices are doing in communities across the country this November for National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, Home Care and Hospice of the Valley is emphasizing the importance of quality of end-of-life care for all Americans, regardless of age, diagnoses or location of care. This includes starting conversations about your end of life wishes.
During the month on November, there will be a couple of opportunities for you to attend a seminar called "The Conversation Project: A Good Death or a Hard One — Let's Talk!" This is an engagement campaign to get everyone's end-of-life wishes expressed and respected. These conversations are difficult but necessary. Conversations should not take place only at the end of life but throughout life. Waiting until the end is not productive. It can cause more family dynamics and complicated grief in the end.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Losing argumentsNovember 4, 2014 —
Gerry Spence, the masterful Wyoming trial lawyer who has never lost a criminal case, defines winning an argument as "getting what you want." Barbara Allen of Edwards seems determined to build a similar reputation as a master of losing arguments. She furthers her battle against her own interests each time she puts her mean-spirited pen to paper. Whether on the marijuana issue or in her open space battles of recent history, she has proven herself incapable of constructing winning arguments.
In her letters of recent years, she's implied that a county commissioner has a cold heart and mind bent on destroying children. She's suggested people are criminals. She's made specious linkages and careless reference to local family tragedies. She fails to realize that the childhood rhyme "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me" just isn't true. Words damage real, living people. Words hurt our friends and neighbors. They raise wounds that do not heal. And they alienate those that might be persuaded by our arguments. We are all called to argue. It is our civic duty in shaping the world we want to live in.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Ban gay marriageNovember 4, 2014 —
I am writing this letter after giving some thought to all of the silliness found in the local newspaper at times. What caught my attention recently were articles on gay "marriage" and the banning of plastic bags in Vail.
The Vail Valley is full of people so intent on saving the earth that they lose sight of what is truly important in life: God, family and the Green Bay Packers (OK, maybe not so much the last one). The first two are very important, though! That being said, I see this valley (and the country as a whole) going against God's word. Just read the daily newspaper! The Bible makes it clear that homosexual practices are sinful, that marriage is between a man and a woman and that we should be good stewards of the earth, but we are not to worship it.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Bettis for coronerNovember 3, 2014 —
Our coroner's election raises an issue: Whether the selection process should be political or based on expertise. The coroner makes no political decisions and does not depend on any political organization to do the job. This is one of the few elected offices where politics should not be the deciding factor.
But this year's Eagle County coroner's election is becoming politicized. It appears important, to some, to fill county positions with officials based upon their association with a political party. When "non-issues" become the focus of attention, we might consider returning to the real issues.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Asking for your voteNovember 3, 2014 —
To earn the honor of a person's vote, you must spend time learning about their hopes and concerns while collaborating with them on ideas to lift up our communities. I have spent the past year reaching out to voters in Senate District 5 one-on-one on their porches or over the phone, working with you on a plan to create an economy that works for everyone and not just those at the very top, and that's what I will continue to do if you elect me as your next state senator.
While my opponent and his allies have been clogging our mailboxes with negative ads straight out of the tea party playbook, I have had the great pleasure of talking to thousands of voters about our vision for our state. I'm so grateful to have the support of not only Democrats, but also Republicans and independents. Our shared values and common goals are stronger than the partisan labels that separate us during an election season.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Mitsch Bush for state HouseNovember 3, 2014 —
Diane Mitsch Bush, our representative at the State Capitol, actually gets herself out to see us on a regular basis — even when she's not campaigning. Wow. And she checks in with us because she wants to know what we think about the issues tugging at our Western Slope. And she wins for us because she doesn't fight a partisan battle. She works with all sides to make sure that the greater good is achieved for Colorado. That's why I voted for her. I hope you will, too.
Please walk your ballot in. It's way too late to mail!Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Great fiasco in AvonNovember 3, 2014 —
I read Mayor Rich Carroll's Vail Daily column entitled "Great things happening in Avon" and was struck by his upbeat tone on the town's purchase of the Skier Building. I have performed a reasonable amount of due diligence on this acquisition, and I can say with confidence that by the town purchasing this incomplete building and undertaking the requisite work, it will be the most expensive commercial office building in the valley and far beyond. The town is purchasing a building that lacks parking, has sat vacant for years, and justifies its purchase by stating that the property will provide restrooms to the public and meeting space. The only mention of economics is Carroll's statement that the town can do this with no increase in tax revenues. That is hardly a justification. The town is using its precious funds to pay interest on debt — funds that could be deployed into projects that actually create revenue for the town rather than simply provide an over-improved set of office space for town employees.
Let's look at the economics of this purchase — firstly, the acquisition price is $200 per square foot. The town estimates that it will cost another $180 per square foot to finish out the space. Both of these figures were supplied by the town to me. I think we have a right to be skeptical that the town can manage construction projects, as evidenced by the debacle involving Brian Judge and the new amphitheatre. But even if these figures are accurate, there is no commercial office building in the valley that is valued at $380 per square foot. So why should the town set the high water mark on purchasing and building out government office space? Because they can offer bathrooms and meeting space? The town was offered commercial office space to lease at less than $20 per square foot (again, figures supplied by the town). That is a far cry less expensive than this purchase. However, the town did not want to pursue this lease because the landlord only offered a 10-year term. I'm not sure how hard the town negotiated. Rather, I think it simply wanted to build out its own luxurious space.Learn more »

Vail Daily letter: Integrity and honestyNovember 3, 2014 —
This past summer (2014), we traveled from the Denver area over the Rockies. We stopped for gas as we have done for 20 years, at the West Vail Shell gas station owned by Darin Tucholke. Inadvertently, I left my wallet at the payment counter inside the station. About four hours later, upon realizing the error, I called the station and spoke with Scott Athey, the employee who had my wallet in a safe place. Scott offered to overnight my wallet to the Utah area on his own personal time and inconvenience. It arrived within 24 hours with everything intact. I have always appreciated the friendly service and clean facilities at this service station. It is refreshing to find honesty and integrity on a very high level. My thanks go to Darin and Scott.

Vail Daily letter: Ban campaign adsNovember 2, 2014 —
Yeah, let's just start with that: Campaign ads — do they really have any purpose? The system has to change. Now, it is not unusual to wait in line at the local post offices, but today I had to wait in line to distribute the 30 high-gloss political ads directly into the trash/recycle bin without even looking at the work of the graphic artists — toothy grins and promises they may hold. I was not alone in this line; in fact, I think it may have represented a very wide demographic of this area. Everyone, young and old, rich and poor, they all tossed the campaigns valuable messages directly into the bin. They did not discriminate between conservative or liberal. Each was treated to a one-way trip to the landfill.
What a waste, I thought. What a complete waste of everybody's time and money. The paper and photo processing, not to mention the postage, are a waste. But, let's concentrate on the TV ads. Nobody likes them; in fact, most people hate them and are quite vocal about it. He said this, she said that, this side says this and the other says that. We as citizens of Colorado go nowhere. We as citizens of this nation spiral downward while we let politicians argue about things that really make no difference in the big picture. That picture is bleak, no doubt, if we allow politicians to sell themselves and their vote to the highest bidder. That wasn't what I was taught in school about democracy and how our government was supposed to work. But that's how our government works now. So get out your checkbook or go to the back of the line and realize that your vote doesn't matter anyway because the ballot box has been purchased already.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Vote for Donovan, UdallNovember 2, 2014 —
When I came here in 1962, Eagle County was a paradise. The then-little start-up town of Vail gave us a place to live while we hiked, skied, fished and hunted in the hills, forests and high mountain wilderness areas.
We ran into occasional cowboys. We admired them. They were a big part of the traditional West. I discovered later working with the cattlemen that they had learned from several generations of using the land how to take care of it. Their success depends on healthy grazing lands.Learn more »
Vail Daily letter: Donovan for state SenateNovember 2, 2014 —
Our disdain for our current political environment is our own fault. Too often we vote along party lines because it is what we know — it's what we have done over and over again. At some point, all the frustration we convey to our friends and family will lead us to finally vote our convictions at the polls — regardless of party affiliation. When we finally vote for the person who truly represents our beliefs, we may initiate the change we often think so elusive. Take a look at Kerry Donovan. Honesty and integrity run deep here. Not all people that run for political office do so because it's a calling — Kerry is.

Vail Daily letter: McQueeney for commissionerNovember 2, 2014 —
Two words ... Jeanne McQueeney. She has won my vote for Eagle County commissioner, and I hope she gets yours as well. Having served with her on the Eagle County Schools Board of Education I know firsthand that she can tackle difficult decisions and understand what is necessary to do so. She is compassionate and listens to the issues as well as works tirelessly in many different arenas to keep our county a wonderful place to live, work, play and educate our children. We need her energy, enthusiasm, knowledge and experience, so please join me in voting for Jeanne McQueeney for Eagle County commissioner.

Manage software products via floating licenses to lower costs
updated Jun 20, 2008 12:25 am | 3,153 views
Revision as of 18:40, 17 May 2008
As the world economy is going through a major turmoil and the budget for /br hardware and software purchasing is shrinking, managers all over the globe are /br searching for innovative ways to lower their expenses without hurting workers productivity. One of the "black holes" in every budget at every /br organization or company that use software (and who doesn't?) is the cost for /br software maintenance fees, which are paid annually to the software vendors. This /br article discusses the possibility of phenomenal savings to any budget, by performing a restructuring of the way costly software products managed via /br floating licenses are being used.
The promise of Floating Licenses: A floating (concurrent) license allows multiple users to share the use of a software application. However, a single license can not be used by multiple users simultaneously. When a user completes his work with the software, another user can begin using it. The promise of the Floating License concept is that shared software assets can provide for less spending, without hurting production. In reality it is rarely achieved and most organizations purchase more floating licenses than are actually needed, for lack of management tools and knowledge.
Additional source of information for software vendors that use FLEXlm licensing is flexlm.wiselm.com
One of the most important principles when using floating licenses, is that as the number of license servers at use goes down, the efficiency of the network grows. In other words, when a license pool is being split between a growing amount of servers, there is a substance loss of efficiency and less users can take advantage of available licenses. So why does so many organizations use floating license servers in inefficient way?
Reasons for inefficient use of expensive floating licenses
* Historical reasons - A department bought the licenses long ago and managers tend to think of the software as the department's property. As a result, in many organizations different departments buy duplicated licenses before exploring the option of sharing available licenses.
* Lack of good management tools - FLEXnet (FLEXlm) does not supply management tools as part of the basic package. The lack of good management tools does not allow managers to manage the licenses for best results.
* The need to keep redundant license servers, in order to avoid down time when users are unable to access licenses.
* Sometimes wide area networks are too slow to allow a user to access license servers over the WAN.
A successful consolidation process requires careful planning and has to be based on a detailed usage information database, collected over time. Organizations that go forward with the consolidation process are often involved in difficult situations, when trying to manage the combined license pool. However by choosing the correct software tool and some careful planning, will assure the success of the consolidation while providing good license availability and savings of software maintenance fees.
Important features in management tools for license server consolidation include:
* Support for multiple servers
* Support for multiple time zones, for any of the servers or users
* Detailed usage reports
* Alerts for important events
* Billing reports for total time of usage
* Convenient web based interface * Automatic idle license release - easy timeout setup (advance OpenLM feature)

How I Met Your Mother

How I Met Your Mother
episode/issue review by
Lucymae 2
Last Forever Review- I am going to get maimed for this (Spoilers)
Ive been afraid to express my opinion over vocal majorities, but I cannot sit quietly while Teds name stands under
The Scrappy
. I for one like the finale, and there are lots of people who do, they just arent as loud as those who hate it for some reasons I see and some that I think are highly exaggerated.
The Mother is a baby machine and Ted is a horrible person for moving on after six years of mourning her death? I think the finale established pretty well that having Tracy die was the last thing Ted wouldve liked to happen. In fact, after Ted told the story and his kids came to the conclusion that it was just an attempt to get their permission for asking out their Aunt Robin, it took some convincing before even
accepted it. With his response of What, I just call her? it seems to me like he hadnt given it much thought, and his decision to approach her with the smurf penis was obviously made on the spot.
Also, Robin gets sentimental about letting Ted go for a very brief period of time and thats it. I never really got the impression that she regretted every life decision she ever made that led them to not being together. And Barney falling in love with his daughter is absolutely hated from what Ive seen on the internet. Why!? Yeah, so Robin couldnt provide him with a kid, but that doesnt mean Barney didnt genuinely feel for her! And did people want him to fucking throw the baby on the ground!? Anything besides what I saw happen with Barney in the heartwarming scene with his daughter wouldve derailed his character even further, which people were already complaining about to begin with, so accept that Barney's true love is his daughter. Robin had nothing to do with his kid, so drop it!
As for Lily, she hardly had any loose ends to tie up. They got home from Rome, she gets pregnant, and
obviously thats portraying women in a weak way
. That part is definitely stretching it.
Look, obviously they didn't nail this finale. The entire ninth season takes place at Robin and Barneys wedding and their divorce is undermined. But people hate the sinking of their ship so much that I believe a majority of the finale hate is just looking for things about it to loath besides the divorce. Yes, I wouldve preferred if Tracy stayed alive too, but don't blow everything out of proportion with the
Unfortunate Implications
Honestly, I really liked the finale. One of the aspects I found most grating this season was all the bumps Barney & Robin kept having when we all knew they were going to get married. So when I found out they got divorced, I suddenly realized that rather than being forced conflict to pad out the episode, their sub-plots were really about showing why these two just don't really work together. That's actually genius, as now all those sub-plots suddenly have a lot more meaning. As for the stuff with Barney's kid, I'm actually happy with it, as I was cringing seeing Barney go back to being the playboy after two seasons worth of character development. While Robin was the closest Barney may ever come to a real romantic relationship, his daughter was the one who ultimately opened his heart, and that's actually pretty sweet, considering how afraid he had been to have a child before. My only real complaint about this finale was that Tracy needed more screentime. Every scene she was in this season lit up, and she really helped breathe some new life into the show. It's a shame that they only used her for about a third of the season. But as for the finale, I have to agree, it was a lot better than people give it credit for. But then, I'm often a defender of controversial finales, so what do I know?

JamesPicard 13th Apr 14
I uh...don't know anyone who made any of these complaints. Here's my interpretation of what the popular negative reactions are in response to your interpretations.
1) Nothing wrong with Ted moving on. It was the show that moved on too quickly. He had six years to get over her. We had about thirty seconds. It's mostly an editing thing.
2) To my knowledge, the scene with his daughter is one of the only universally
things from the finale. There are tons of other problems with his storyline, but that scene is not one of them.
3) Don't recall any complaints about Lily. You're right, there's not much to tie up.
4) I'm going to be honest here. Most of the talk about shipping wars and sinking or what have you have come from people who liked the finale, not those who disliked it.
5) A common complaint you don't address is the poor pacing/editing/storyboarding that appears in the finale which, IMO, is one of the biggest complaints that people have.

The complaints on Lily come from feminists and internet Social Justice Warriors that felt she got a "raw deal" just because they don't see her doing all these things as an artist.
This is not the right place to talk about if they're justified in their accusation or not through
As for the ship sinking, I can list quite a few pages on tumblr that are, very, very, very pissed about the divorce and Tracy dying.
Personally I really don't like this finale but it could have been better had they only devoted half of the season to wrapping up the wedding and the other half as an epilogue.

Daniel1559 26th Aug 14
Also much of the
Unfortunate Implications
was indeed due to poor pacing issues and all of this being crammed into the episode—it was 6 years for Ted but only a few seconds for the audiences there was something wrong with Ted ending up with Robin. not with moving on because the show has always hammered the "they're wrong for each other". Many people would have preferred he end up with some random girl(or even Victoria is acceptable in some fan circles due to her popularity) or had an scenario similar to
where he never remarries and moved on through what remains of his love for Tracy, in this case, he enjoys his life as a single father.

Daniel1559 26th Aug 14
As said before, it wasn't a specific issue, but the sum of it's parts. One of the problems with the divorce is that while it's in terms of chemistry issues between Barney and Robin, it goes and forgets Ted and Robin's chemistry issues and pairs them together, which gives the feeling of designated pairing. It also in many people's opinions, doesn't fit with the rest of the series. This series has been both acclaimed and criticized for it's idealized views of love and life, with Ted, Marshall and Lily being the biggest drivers of this, then decides to flip the scrip at the very end and be very realistic or even cynical.

marcellX 26th Aug 14
I just feel that it was uncalled for, because in one of the last episodes of the series it shows that Ted lets Robin go. First in a visual sense, and then later on when she gets cold feet.
It's just such a big waste to me because they resolve that ship, they pair Ted and The Mother as well as Robin and Barney, and everything is good... but after that, everything that season had built up to was completely unravelled in 2 episodes. I can see Ted putting Robin at ease within his heart and feeling like going back when they both have the chance, and the chances of Robin and Barney staying together weren't great, but it felt cheap - still kind of feels cheap - that they made this entire season around how Robin and Barney are getting married and love each other, top it with Ted getting over Robin and meeting the mother of his children, and proceed to undo that in the span of 2 episodes.
In the last episode in particular, all of this happens: the marriage falls apart, Barney turns back into a wild playboy after resolving his character arc three times (The Playbook's destructions and the passing of it to a new generation), Robin is made unhappy for favoring her career over settling down, the mother is unceremoniously killed off (with footage showing Ted's grief
being cut from the broadcast
), and they finally get back together as 60-somethings.
What was the point of destroying the Playbook twice and Barney handing a new playbook off, if he was just going to return to his life of lechery? What was the point of Ted letting Robin go in the last episodes if they were going to be the final couple? And though yes, I can see that they were building up to it pretty well, why the hell would they kill off the mother after birthing Ted's kids, giving him stability, generally being his soulmate - just so he could reconnect with Robin?
I understand this is an old review, people have their own opinions on the finale and that's fine... but the last episode undoes the last couple of seasons, and personally I think it undermines the show a bit to spend 9 years looking for the mother, characterizes her in bits and pieces over the last season and then kills her off for another ship. What a waste.
comment #25957
MrMallard 27th Aug 14
Another quick note - the reason I personally disliked the baby part is that it comes out of left field from a 1 night stand Barney had, the mother of that child is unnamed, and Barney - after saying he'd never give his possessions up for a woman, flips his perspective as soon as his initially unwanted child comes into the world. There's also a hint of
unfortunate implications
to me, because Barney changes after the birth of his child - which is something Robin could never have done for him. Could that mean that Robin could have never made Barney happy? That's what it feels like to me, but it is a bit of a stretch.
All in all, it's not that the characters are inherently bad - it's just that the writing jumps through hoops to undo everything the 9th season accomplished to suit an ending which could have passed after 4 seasons, at the most. After all, the ending was planned from the second season. The issue here is with the writing - that they thought this ending would pass after 9 years of build-up to Ted and The Mother.
comment #25958
MrMallard 27th Aug 14
And you can well argue that if they want to aim for a tragic or "realistic" ending, but assuming the story was about Ted and Robin and not the buildup to meet Tracy than it fails to make it realistic in that regard and may actually be intrepreted as a overwhelming happy ending.

Tarragon Mushroom Salad
This is a great make-ahead salad and perfect for a brown-bag lunch.
Roasted Pear Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
Roasting pears intensifies their flavor while making them soft and tender. Choose firm pears, such as Bosc, for this recipe. The pears can be roasted in advance and refrigerated. Bring them to room temperature before serving.
Banana-Peanut Smoothie
This can be whipped up in a minute and is great for a work-day or school-day breakfast.
Tomato & Cannellini Salad with Roasted Garlic Dressing
Roasting mellows the garlic's pungency, and the soft cooked garlic adds both texture and flavor to the herbed dressing for this bean and tomato salad.
Orange-Chili Oil
While this does have hot pepper flakes, it's heat is not the first thing that you taste. You're initial taste is orange, from the zest and the juice with a follow-up of heat from the red pepper flakes. If you like your oil hotter, add more red pepper flakes and use a hot chili powder. Use to drizzle over bread, grilled vegetables or to toss with pasta.
Chili-Rubbed Snapper
Garlic powder is an extremely convenient ingredient for use in dry rubs. If you were to use chopped fresh garlic on the surface of this baked fish, you would run the risk of burning the garlic. Serve the fish with any of the salsas in the pantry section.
Orange-Balsamic Dressing
If you haven't got honey mustard on hand, substitute 1 tablespoon of mustard and 1/2 teaspoon of honey.
Baked Ratatouille
This baked ratatouille is considerably less fussy than the traditional dish, which is cooked on the stovetop. Here you just throw all the ingredients in a baking dish. It's a good make-ahead dish and is good warm, at room temperature, or cold. If you can find canned diced tomatoes with basil and/or garlic, it would be a nice flavor addition to this dish.
A bowl of guacamole with a basket of chips can add up to quite a few calories and a hefty dose of fat. But substitute pureed frozen peas for some of the avocado, and you can serve a big bowl of this favorite Mexican dip with a clear conscience. The peas add a subtle sweetness and also contribute folate and soluble fiber. Serving suggestion: Serve the guacamole with storebought baked tortilla chips, or homemade chips.
Baked Polenta with Mushrooms & Spinach
The polenta is very soft. You can make the mushroom-spinach stuffing well ahead of time.

Storms pass, but power's still out for many
10/7/13 - 7:39 pm
Above: Adirondack chairs strewn across a Delaware County backyard by Monday's windstorms. Photographer Gerry Gomez Pearlberg, who shared the photo with us, said the winds tossed the chairs 20 or 30 feet.
Heavy rainstorms and high winds that swept across the Catskills on Monday afternoon left scattered power outages in their wake.
As of around 8:30pm, Central Hudson was reporting that 1,274 of their customers in Ulster County were without power. Most heavily affected were Saugerties, with 342 outages; Lloyd, with 301 outages; Olive, with 250 outages; and Marbletown, with 158 outages.
NYSEG reported that 62 of their customers in Shandaken were without power.
Central Hudson also had 148 outages in Greene County, most in the town of Catskill, and 40 outages in the Sullivan County town of Neversink.
About 550 of NYSEG's customers in Delaware County were without power. Most of the outages -- 469 -- were in the town of Sidney, where over 20 percent of NYSEG customers were without power. Earlier in the day, the National Weather Service reported many trees and wires down in the village of Sidney.
NYSEG also reported 56 outages in the Sullivan County town of Rockland.
As of 8:30pm, National Grid was not reporting any outages in Schoharie County.
