South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard says he does not plan to intervene in the upcoming executions of two men.
Fifty-year-old Eric Robert is scheduled to die by lethal injection sometime next week for the killing of prison guard Ronald Johnson. Sixty-year-old Donald Moeller is scheduled to die during the week of Oct. 28 for the kidnapping, rape and murder of 9-year-old Becky O'Connell.
In a statement released to the media, Daugaard says he has no reason to change the judgment reached by criminal justice system.
He says state law allows him to conduct his own investigation, which he did with the cooperation of Attorney General Marty Jackley.
Barring an unforeseen circumstance, he says he will not prevent or intervene in the sentence being carried out.

Arizona Coyotes
DDB: Idle Coyotes can clinch Thursday
GLENDALE -- The Coyotes headed to St. Louis this afternoon on a regular season-ending two-game trip that starts with a match against the Blues on Friday night and concludes with a game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.
Despite being idle tonight, Phoenix could clinch its third consecutive berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs if the Nashville Predators defeat the Dallas Stars in any fashion. That game is being played at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The puck drops at 5 p.m. (Arizona time).
Just before their flight to St. Louis, I spoke to some of the Coyotes and they all said they would be monitoring tonight's game in Nashville and tonight's game between Pacific Division rivals Los Angeles and San Jose very closely.
Captain Shane Doan summed it up best: "It's pretty much impossible not to care. We're going to be very aware of what's going on around the League (tonight)."
With two games to go, the Coyotes are not only trying to qualify for the playoffs but to win the Pacific Division title for the first time.
"We still have a chance and we're going to go for it," Doan said.
� Phoenix is 1-4-1 vs. St. Louis and Minnesota this season, but the Coyotes are taking a clean-slate approach to this weekend.
"We've had two good practices here so that's a positive sign," Head Coach Dave Tippett said before today's flight. "The players recognize the situation and the urgency needed, and the areas we have to clean up (for these games). Now it's just a matter of getting on the ice and doing it."
He added, "It's a fun part of the year and we need to embrace it."
Despite having watched his team win three games in a row, Tippett has not been pleased with the way his team has played. Knowing this, I asked Tippett to identify a victory in recent history the players could use as a blueprint for success.
"Hopefully that game is tomorrow," he said.
� Coyotes goalie Mike Smith will enter Friday's game seeking his fourth consecutive shutout. Smith has made 155 saves since last allowing a goal; according to Elias, that's an NHL high since saves were first kept in 1976-77.
I asked Smith to the explain the key to his recent success.
"I haven't changed anything really as far as preparation, I've just been going in there and really focusing on making the first save," Smith said. "The guys have done a great job in front of me clearing the rebounds and boxing out and stuff like that. But what's gone on in the past is done now. I'm just looking forward to tomorrow night."
FYI, Friday's game at St. Louis is being televised nationally on NBC Sports Network (formerly Versus).

If you use a computer, then you have undoubtedly heard the term "cookies" in the past. Anything from clearing your cookies to downloading more or not enough has likely come up in the past. The question is: What are cookies, do you need them and are they harmful?
Everything you need to know about buying or selling a house is available on the Internet, so why use a Realtor? That may indeed be true. If you are willing to do the research, you may indeed be able to find all the information you want on the Internet. And we all know that if you read it on the Internet, it must be true, right?
Okay, so there's the first, and perhaps among the most important reasons, that you should use a Realtor. Yes, there's all kinds of information on the Internet, but sorting through the chaff to get to the wheat can be difficult, if not impossible. Part of a Realtor's responsibility is to help you sort through the data and interpret it in way that is meaningful.
Mother's Day is fast approaching, so mark your calendars for this Sunday, May 11. This year will be the 100th anniversary of Congress designating the second Sunday in May as the official day we can all, as a nation, honor and recognize our mothers.

The term "junk" mail has taken shape over recent years. In the past, we always received junk mail in the form of advertisements in the mail. Once telephones were introduced, companies began starting "telemarketing" companies to begin cold-calling people in hopes of selling them their product. Once fax and texting became popular, this only escalated the issue.
April 15th is just days away. While many may be filing taxes themselves, others often pay someone to file their taxes for them, and still there are others who are making the most of modern technology to get their taxes done quickly, efficiently and professionally.
I had a nice chat with David James, community development director for the City of Tehachapi, last week about the challenges of demographics for the area and farming.
This is a rebuttal to the letter to the editor from David Giannandrea published March 26 in the Tehachapi News.
One of the best things about being the City Manager of this great city is that I have seen the improvements we've made over time and I can be proud that we've delivered projects that I believe, have increased the quality of life for the residents of Tehachapi. What's more, our team is working every day to develop future improvements that I know we will all be proud of as we continue our community's forward progress.
Woody Guthrie, the renowned Dust Bowl troubadour, was so inspired by John Ford's classic 1940 film, "The Grapes of Wrath," he immediately found a copy of the book upon which it was based, took it home and devoured it, front to back. When he was finished, he read it again.
There is an amazing variety of opinion in our society. That's a good thing. Some of those opinions are wise, well-thought out, and some of them are really loony. That's okay. We have a right to our opinions, wise or foolish. It's the American way. You may think I have the dumbest opinions the world has ever seen. But you do not have the legal right to insist that I change my opinions.
Last month, I wrote about the upcoming April 8 date which marks the "end-of-life" support date for Windows XP. After April 8, Microsoft will no longer issue security updates for any computer running Windows XP.
The Tehachapi Police Department has recently reported the positive decline in burglary. In 2012, burglaries in the city of Tehachapi were reported as 210, and in 2013, this number decreased to 183 burglaries, a decline of 13 percent. Whereas this information is great news, the fact still exists that there is more that can be done to decrease this number.

I Can I Can I Can … Here Comes the Power!
By Sushi
I am Sushi, the brave and mighty Cairn Terrier, and my life flows with the rhythm of the farm that I bow down to in honor … to serve and defend. No storm can shake my inmost calm, I cling to the belief that this little man can. For you see, there is always some new creation around here to protect. When things get tough the tough get going and that is just what I need to do sometimes.
When it does get tough, I cling to my belief I can, I can, I can, and I can! The sound "I can!" triumphs like music in my ears and echoes in my soul. I trot around the farm as if I own the world. I believe I do. My beautiful farm is a place of magic and wonder. It is ever changing. All things are mine and how do I keep from bursting at the belly with joy and gladness? Fall is here and I feel like springing on hay bales and howling to the moon with complete joy. … Continue Reading

Secret Fears All Guys Have About Marriage
Walking down the aisle was the first act of bravery, but even years into it, these marriage what-ifs still make him nervous.
By Anna Davies
The pressure to call your husband your "soulmate" can be scary, especially when Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram make it easy to confront the ghosts of relationships past. In fact, a 2013 study at the University of Missouri found that excessive Facebook use can damage relationships. Avoid temptation by trying not to go too crazy on social media, and stay connected with your husband by discussing all the stuff you've been through together. It's experience—not fate—that forges relationships, and the more you remember what you've enjoyed and overcome, the easier it is to understand the road less traveled isn't necessarily the one either of you wants to be on.

It was early May of 2004, and I was almost at the finish line for my degree. Between me and graduation: Just two summer classes. I was in the process of finishing what could only be described as the most intense spring semester of my college career. As the semester's end finally hit, I realized something. I was going to need a job, and I hadn't even started looking.
Then, almost on cue, the phone rang. The president of a small and local software company was looking for computer engineers with .NET experience. They searched my university's resume database for candidates, and I came up. Would I like an interview? Hell yes.
I was to be part of a team of highly skilled, versatile, .NET Ninjas. We were going to produce top-notch software for the nuclear power industry. Combining management's knowledge of the nuclear field and our kung fu grip on .NET , we hoped to dominate our market niche. As developers we would be on the ground floor of a booming company. There was greater room for advancement compared to a traditional office environment. We all hoped to have company cars, top-notch health care, company cell phones, and tons of other wonderful perks; all just slightly out of reach.
It did not go as planned.
One stressful year later, while I was staying late with a few other developers to finish up on some work, I was asked to report to the president's office. My manager was already there, sitting on the same side of the desk as the president. They explained to me, in a level and professional tone, that due to financial factors, I was going to be let go, with only an hour's severance pay. Thanks for all the hard work, and best of luck.
The first layoff is tough. After bending over backward, after being a loyal employee, this is the reward? To summarize how I felt: Disillusioned. Only one thing kept me going -- pure ego. You know when the schoolyard bully says something about your mom in front of everyone? But, ignoring the size difference and the fact that he's already shaving daily at age 14, you step forward and say "Oh yeah?", with a Brock Sampson-like eye twitch the only warning of the impending ownage? That's the kind of ego that kept me determined to give software engineering a second shot.
Over the course of the previous year, my friends quickly learned I liked to talk about work less and less. When I did open up about it, they were astounded by, well, let's say various factors of the work environment. Each and every time it was discussed with my peers in the field, time and time they gave me the same advice: Get out.
I have to say, they were totally right.
All the signs were there, but I blazed on, telling myself that this was just a rough patch for the company, and that we'd pull out of this tailspin in time to land safely at our destination. I was ignoring the pilots screaming "Mayday, Mayday".
Now, while I was blind to obvious signs that it was time to leave, doesn't mean that you have to be. I would like to present the 4 signs that you should leave your workplace (for software engineers):
1. It's the environment, stupid!
In the University of Pittsburgh's Computer Engineering program, there is a mandatory department seminar, where the department informs us about our career options. Oftentimes, alumni come back to speak about the career opportunities in their field. It's all very, very dry, and as a result, nobody listens. They also fail to give one piece of advice that I would at the first seminar of every year, if I was ever asked to give one:
Don't work in cubicles, ever. Working in cubicles is the sure sign that you're not working for a successful company. Imagine the smartest person you know, working in your field. Now imagine how they would react if they were told they're going to work in a box with no door or roof, allowing them no privacy.
They would no doubt leave that organization for one that is less creatively stifling. So unless you are convinced that you're stupid (and, in that case, you're in the wrong field) you shouldn't be accepting cubicles in your work place either. If the company will not or can not spend the money to create offices for its knowledge workers, so they can get into the zone, the odds of it creating a successful software product and capitalizing on it are about the same as you becoming a millionaire by going to Las Vegas, betting fifty on black, and letting it ride all night.
Cubicles do not automatically make an employee stupid; but it is one more barrier for you to climb over before you can create your own space to think. At my last workplace, the noise traveled. Everyone could hear everyone. An intern with nothing to do bullshitting with your boss, a co-worker venting about how he's not paid enough, the busybody secretary ordering people around with no authority. Not one single employee liked the set up, but without management's understanding, naturally nothing was done.
And for those management types who live in the dead end of corporate culture, if you don't believe noise is a big detriment to your productivity, just buy an electric drill or vacuum cleaner. Turn it on and let it run. Put it as close to your ear as humanly possible, and try to get work done.
It sounds like such a small thing to critical about, but like so many things in life, little things turn out to be extremely crucial. Little things snowball into bigger things. If people can't relax in their workplace, dealing with them becomes difficult, which creates friction where none should exist. That friction could destroy the delicate cohesion every team needs to maintain to produce software. So if you find that getting ready for work in the morning is a larger effort then getting ready to go out on a Friday night, maybe you should talk to your boss about making your workplace more accepting, or find a new one.
2. Just How Dumb is Management, Anyway?
Engineering n-tier enterprise level software is like navigating a minefield. There are countless potential disasters just waiting to happen. From creeping requirements to budgetary nightmares to horribly incorrect estimates, oftentimes it is not technical ability that makes or breaks a product; it is how all the other chainsaws are juggled. Your project is as dependent on the know how of your manager as it is your technical ability.
Since the inception of the term, software engineering, people have acknowledged that it is inherently hard to manage software projects. It is exponentially harder to have a superior that actually understands this, and is capable of both properly delegating and managing the complexity. Here are three major mistakes to look for in your manager. Take any of these as a sign that it is time to have that interview suit dry cleaned.
A. Thinks they know too much:
Is your superior an old hand, who's worked his way up from the trenches, but hasn't kept up with the pace of technology? Does he base his assumptions of how you should be doing things based off the way that he did things? So while you try to explain that the create_user_account module should call a stored procedure in the database to minimize the chance of SQL injection, he's showing you how easy it was to create a form in Access97. Questioning the methodology at work will often result with a "this is how we did it in the old days, and I don't see anything wrong with that!" New technology isn't likely to be adopted at its full potential in a workplace with a manager like this. Instead, you will end up grinding the same gears, only faster, louder, and harder.
B. Relies on, but disregards your technical advice:
Oftentimes, a non-technical manager, or an "old hand" who's edge is no longer sharp will be impressed enough to listen to your technical advice. If they were smart, they'd actually take it.
My former company had the unlucky experience of needing to reformat its single production server. While our DBAs tried to figure out what caused the crash, and how to fix it, I began talking to various other developers about what needed to be done if we had to recover from a worst-case scenario, where a reformat/reinstall was necessary.
I studied up on the re-install procedures, so that I could come in over a weekend, fix the sever, and have it ready so that everyone could work on Monday. I told my superior, who promptly disregarded it. That task was going to another employee, one who had no experience in setting the server up properly. If you find yourself in a situation where management is disregarding the sound technical advice they should be basing decisions on, you need to expedite your job search.
C. Schedule Bullies:
This one needs no explanation. If you tell management that it will take 8 days, and they turn around and tell you they think it will take six, you need to leave. Rushed work is almost always subpar. You will not learn sound defensive coding practices. If management does share your view of "I'm writing this, I'm the only one who can tell how long this is going to take." then you have an uphill battle explaining to your boss such difficult terms as quality or pride in your work. I wish you luck on that endeavor. It will be as fun as herding cats.
Remember, not all programmers make good managers, just like not all managers make good programmers. If your boss' skill set brings nothing to the table, don't expect to replace him anytime soon. Instead, get your references ready.
3. Personal Growth
At my last job, I constantly felt dejected. "You're not growing fast enough! You're barely in the middle of the pack." was the kind of feedback I was getting from my supervisor. Much later, I realized they were setting employees up for failure, and then blaming the employee, instead of blaming themselves.
When it comes to growth, you need to consider two things about your company. Are you happy doing what you're happy doing? Do they have you developing in-house tools, when you'd rather be developing next-generation user interfaces? Are you finding yourself spending half your time fixing the network and pulling cable when you'd rather be developing a framework for your fellow developers?
The second thing you need to consider is what kind of options they offer for career advancement. Will the company you're working for pay for graduate schooling in your field? What about management classes? How about industry certifications? If the answer to any of those three is no, the company is trying to trap you, by removing the path most employees use to get better jobs: Expanding on their experience and education. Plenty of companies now offer this benefit to developers, so if yours doesn't, find one that does. You'll thank me when you have that nanotechnology Ph.D.
4. Compensation and Overtime
If you're not happy with the amount of money that you're making, do a reality check. Find out what you're worth. If you are confident your compensation is inadequate, extend your superior the opportunity to rectify this mistake, and then start looking for jobs where you will be valued.
Overtime should also be considered along with compensation. If you're working too many hours at the office, and the company isn't doing whatever it takes to get you back down to a healthy 40 hour work week, then something is wrong. Is it because the network is breaking and none of you know what to do? Hire a network administrator with certifications. Are you talking to vendors and doing the legwork on products you might need later down the pipeline that a temp could do instead? Are you testing software instead of a full time tester?
While the occasional (paid) overtime is nice, long hours put more wear and tear on you, and over time, can cost you the passion you had for developing quality software. No amount of profit sharing, casual dress or office perk can get that back for you.
Final Thoughts
Work is not all bad. A lot of employers say they want their employees to think work is fun. Few employers put their money where their mouth is, and difference is something you not only see - you feel it when you start working for those employers. After reading this, you should have some concrete feeling as to whether you feel your employer measures up, or whether you need to move on. If you start thinking more about your career and less about your particular job, you'll start to pay attention to those warning signs. And for those of you feeling those warning signs:
I'll offer you the same two words of advice that my friends gave me: Get out.
|Anonymous 10/15/05 03:15:45 PM EDT
This article reminds me of the junior pups that I worked with in various companies - they all seem to think they know everything and demand the world, but then when something doesn't go their way, they get all angry and blame management for this.
Hate to tell you this, sport, but as someone who has been around the block a hell of a lot more than you have, you have a lot of growing up to do. This isn't the "dot-com" boom time where you can have no experience in a field and become a Director or VP overnight.
People nowadays want SMEs and people who have a clue - people who can contribute and not bitch about the fact they have a cubicle versus a hard walled office.
I would feel remotely sympathetic to you if 1) you were not given the proper equipment to do your job (this has happened to me more times than I care to count 2) I am surrounded by coworkers who sit on their collective asses and complain that you aren't working hard but they are there doing even LESS and demanding MORE (been there too) 3) you have a boss who refuses to communicate with you, even when you just join the company and expect you to figure out by osmosis what the goals of the company are and you are to chart your own course (this has happened to me as well).
So... to make a long story short, you are an ungrateful little punk who might be better off working in an electronics store or a fast food restaurant. If you can't handle how companies think or operate, then I suggest you see what's wrong with YOU before you look at the company and their flaws.
I know for one thing, I wouldn't hire you to work with me - you seem to be very high maintenance and I can't deal with that -- we want results and we want team players but ones who actually can work on their own - it seems to me you can't even do that right...
Good luck to you... you will REALLY need it.

Chris, the innocence of inexperience is all I can say to describe your view! You have a long way to go before you can give solid advice to people on how they manage their career. Admittedly there are some factors in your argument that hold water. The logic you use, however, indicates your lack of objectiveness and experience. While you might very well strike it lucky irrespective of your attitude, it is an attitude that would make you an unlikely candidate for hiring for the reason that it indicates that you are nowhere near as effective in a work situation as you might think you are. Don't let your bitterness about one situation mold your view from this point forward. With any luck you'll look back on this article in 10 years time and laugh at your innocence, perhaps even blush!
Keep an open mind, man... good luck in your future career.

Ahh, the idealism of youth. I work for one of the largest and most profitable insurance companies in the world and guess what? Surprise, Surprise: cubicles. I've also worked for engineering companies that build hardware and have done embedded code - also successful companies, also cubicles. This sounds like the same type "woulda, shoulda, coulda" whining that I hear from my interns. And no, I'm not a manger - I'm a senior technical architect (an "old hand" if you like, who has kept current on technology). The answer is fairly simple - if you work for "start-up" companies you have great opportunites if you are in on the ground floor (i.e. Microsoft millionaires)but also have to understand the balancing side of the equation -with this type of opportunity comes great risk. For every Microsoft or Oracle out there, there are 5,000 starups that fail or achieve mediocre success at best. So if you are going to work in high risk/high reward environments, accept the fact that the probability of the type of experience you had repeating is high. Or take a different road. And while you are whining about your manager and how unfairly you were treated by the company, think about how much those same owners invested and lost. I can assure you they did not fail just to persecute you. If you want security, join a big corporation (even that is no garauntee today with all the outsourcing)- but then you'll have to deal with the rules an regs - dress codes, cubes, bosses who want you to report your status at least 3 different ways. Your only option for the complete creative freedom you want is to come up with, develop and sell your own product. Of course, if you are even slightly successfull, you will become the "man" and do to a new crop of software engineers all the horrible things that you endured. This is called "business". Deal with it.
|Tiger One 10/06/05 02:54:32 AM EDT
Great write up.
One question, all these are points that can only be answered once you have already started working in a company. How can one judge a company from what is available when you walk in for the interview.
|Yakov Fain 10/05/05 04:20:53 PM EDT
Just stop whining, will you! This entire article is about yourself and how bad guys underestimate you.If you are following your own recommendations, you should not be working for the same comany for more than a couple of months. Whenever something goes wrong your response is always the same: update your resume and run. Just relax a bit... Most of the software engineers work in cubicles, and some of them are making tons of money. And if you do not like the noise around you, put on the headphones and listed to some elevator music.
Sorry for the angry tone :)

David Price had a bad night Monday. That's news because he hadn't had one in so long. The Tampa Bay Rays left-hander had won eight consecutive decisions over his last 12 starts since a June 13 loss to the Mets, and he came in leading the majors in ERA and sharing the lead in wins. By the end of the night, he had given up six runs and 10 hits to the Rangers while failing to get an out in the fifth inning. Texas held on for a 6-5 win. "I had a lot of hard-hit balls the last two months, and they seemed to go right at guys. Tonight, that wasn't the case," Price said. "I felt every ball they put in play was going to get down or find a hole. And they hit a lot of balls hard. They beat me." Manager Joe Maddon wasn't concerned, saying if anything Price was throwing too many strikes over the heart of the plate. "David will be back, David is fine, he's going to pitch really, really well the rest of this season," Maddon said. "...

Adjusting your workspace
To increase your efficiency and productivity with Microsoft Expression Media, you can customize the workspace for your workflow needs. You can customize each view of Expression Media (List, Thumbnail, and Media) by using the View Options panel. You can select which metadata to display, the background color, and also the font, size, and color of display text. The View Options panel also has options that apply to some export features, such as printing, contact sheets, and the default HTML gallery theme.
Each view has its own options. For example, changing the text and display options in List view does not change the options in Media view.
To customize the views
Click the tab that corresponds to the view that you want to customize.
Do one of the following:
On the Window menu, click View Options.
Click the View Options icon on the toolbar.
Adjust the options according to the guidelines in the following section.
If you want to save your visual preferences as a theme, on the AutoFill menu , click Save. If you want to save your settings as the default settings for all new catalogs, click Set as Default.
You can find the following options under Font & Colors in the View Options panel:
Text foreground Defines the color of text, field labels, and the media frame.
Background Defines the color bar that appears behind text. To make this bar appear transparent, make this color the same as the background color (Thumbnail and Media views only).
Row separator Defines the color of the line that separates items in the list (List view only).
The following options apply to Thumbnail view only and can be found under Display Options in the View Options panel:
Field labels Displays the name of the field next to the displayed text of that field.
Center text Center-aligns the field text.
Frame media Adds a one-pixel border around thumbnails. The color of this frame is defined by the Text Foreground color option.
Show scale Displays the thumbnail size as a percentage of the original media size.
Show ratings and labels Displays ratings and labels underneath each thumbnail.
Aspect ratio Adjusts the proportion of all thumbnail containers. These options are valuable for saving space in the media viewing area, depending on the shape of most media in your catalog (Normal [Square], 3:4 Landscape, 4:3 Portrait).
Margin Offers options for a stylized border around all thumbnails. Blank adds a small amount of white space around thumbnails; Shadow adds a drop-shadow to thumbnails; Frame adds a recessed frame around thumbnails.
Thumbnail size Adjusts the size of thumbnails, in pixels, using a slider. Dragging the slider to the right increases thumbnail size; dragging the slider to the left decreases thumbnail size.
The following options apply to Media view only and can be found under Display Options in the View Options panel:
Field labels Displays the name of the field next to the displayed text of that field.
Center text Center-aligns the field text.
Histogram Displays a graph that shows the relative distribution of red, green, and blue pixel densities in an image. It shows the number of pixels with high density on the left (darker colors) and low density on the right (lighter colors).
Show ratings and labels Displays ratings and labels underneath each thumbnail.
Size Controls the size of the image display through the options in the list.
The following options apply to the Fields section in the View Options panel in all views:
You can add a field to a view by clicking its name in the field list area, which puts a check mark next to the field name. To remove a field, click it again, and the check mark disappears.
The order in which fields are displayed is determined by the order in which you select them in the View Options panel.
You can change the number of lines displayed for each field by clicking the up or down arrows on any active field. This method is useful for fields that have larger amounts of text, such as Description or Paths.
Font styles (Bold, Italic, and Underline) are optional for each field. Font styles can be changed by clicking the style icon that appears next to each field name that has a check mark. You can apply multiple styles at the same time.
You can define the display size of previews in List view and Thumbnail view by clicking the Size menu button . You can also define the size of media in the Display Options section of the View Options panel.
To adjust media size in the views
Click the Size menu button and select the option that applies to the view that you want to adjust. Use the following descriptions as a guide. For thumbnails, if you increase the size beyond the size of thumbnails stored in the catalog (as might be the case if you are using built-in thumbnails), on the Action menu, click Rebuild Item on all the files in the catalog to render the thumbnails at sizes up to 640 pixels.
List view Select from Small (16 pixel) and Large (32 pixel) options. The View Options panel has an option to switch from rendered icons to generic.
Thumbnail view Select from a range of thumbnail sizes, from 80 to 640 pixels.
Media view Select one of these options: Actual Size, Scale to Fit, Fit Width, Fit Height, Pin Smaller Side, Pin Larger Side, Tile, and Other. If you select Other, you can use the slider to specify a percentage.
If an image does not fit completely inside the window, the pointer changes to a hand. Use the pointer to drag the image.
In all views, the Zoom buttons increase or reduce the size of the thumbnails or media.

National Taco Day!
by Rob Lucas
posted Oct 4 2013 6:38AM
Oct 4 is National Taco Day!
In 2012, Americans ate 4.5 billion tacos! That's 490,000 miles of tacos, which could take you to the moon and back or, if you prefer, could, at 775-million pounds, equal the weight of two Empire State Buildings.
The word taco is the Mexican equivalent of the English word sandwich. The tortilla, which is made of corn or wheat, is wrapped or folded around a filling that is generally made of spiced proteins such as beef, pork or fish.
Who's got the best Taco's in Buffalo...the best in the Nation?

I guess I just want to know after 8 months since the incident would you suggest getting tested for Hep A, C or AIDS?? Thank you so much for your response!!

..I'd be happy to accept that sentiment, and in fact have in the past alluded to that point of view. The problem comes my friend, as you well know, when the truth is distorted due to an un-biased opinion of someone ( in this case Casey Stoner ) and statement's are made in the guise of the truth.
Wosi's a dab hand at this kind of thing, and every now and again deserves a slap. That's all..
..I of course meant 'biased', as opposed to 'un-biased' ( cough, splutter etc! )
Shit, and I was doing so well!..

Keep strummin' those chords my man. I have a vintage Hofner Verithin ( just for old times sakes). 1964!
By the way you can put me forward for the job with 'Cirque du Soleil'.

I'm personally into snorting Viagra eight balls at the moment....the only problem being, is it gives me a stiff neck!
The Hofner's cool Saturn, but the Tele's where it's at...
I'm clean - apart from the Viagra I wasn't riding it much tho' so I sold it last year.

..I'll buy the Mag tomoz.
So Briggs says there's now't wrong wi' frame or engine?
What?..as individual pieces or when thrown together as a motorcycle?
Silly me..and silly Dovi, Hayden, Rossi & Melandri too.
Those bastards at Bridgestone must be to blame, oh..and the sugar daddies in the board room ignoring the engineers on the ground and a certain rider who..
".. got a lot of things we asked for, unfortunately 8 months too late.."
Stoner was there for 4 years, so despite having to wait for what he wanted, it was mainly delivered..whether it was Del Torchio knocking something up in the autoclave with his suit on after meetings, or not.

are guilty of nothing except hubris in terms of their assessment of the task that faced them at Ducati, and underestimating what Stoner did on the thing Saturn.The bike was undevelopable, into a Yamaha or Honda clone anyway, and I suspect much of the problem, with the handling anyway, always came down to the actual configuration/dimensions of the engine and the power delivery characteristics rather than the chassis in any case, agreeing with Wosi rather than Alex Briggs. Changing to a conventional chassis, and there is no reason Suter should not be able to produce one which behaves similarly to those Honda and Yamaha have if not necessarily one quite as good, does not seem to have altered the handling characteristics of the bike much at all. Tyre problems also seem to be an issue though, since Dovi has had good one-lap pace on occasion which he hasn't been able to sustain, and this has been an issue for Hayden during his entire tenure.Wosi asks why they didn't go back to the carbon fibre chassis (not that they should if they want a more conventional bike, or that Stoner was responsible for it in the first place), but there does not ever seem to have been any suggestion that they should go back to the trellis frame either. Ducati bailed on Stoner, not the reverse, btw Wosi.
..as I hold him in high esteem - I enjoy his acerbic wit and his unrelenting loyalty and if I ever met the fella, I'd happily buy him a shandy... But fuck me Doo, are you really suggesting an MCN forum stalwart has more of a clue to what's required to fix the Desmo, than a veteran of the MotoGP paddock and someone who has been directly involved in the project??
If you're suggesting Wosi knows more than Briggs ( hahahahaha ), then I'm sorry mate, your forum credibility has taken a devastating nosedive!..
Sweet mother of God, get with the program...
Just an opinion I had prior to my participation in this forum.I haven't read what Briggs says (the link was insufficiently specific) but if there is "not too much wrong with the bike" why are Dovi and Nicky not more competitive, and more particularly why wasn't Valentino before them?
..would Briggs say there is nothing wrong with the bike and it's competitive as it stands, when clearly it isn't?
Surely this risks making Rossi look a lemon, undermining his efforts back at Yamaha to prove it wasn't him but the bike?
It's a load of bollocks..CHR is tripping.

A DEEPLY emotional Michael Clarke broke down as he delivered a touching but agonising tribute to his friend and former teammate Phillip Hughes.
CRICKET Australia has promised a review into player safety in light of the Hughes' tragedy, with particular emphasis on helmet regulations.
AS tough as the first steps will be, I hope Sean Abbott's NSW teammates can coax him back into the practice nets at some stage, writes Allan Border.
CRICKET Australia have handled the awful task that befell them after Phillip Hughes' tragic accident with exemplary calm and dignity.
HE is the patriarch of cricket in Australia. Now Richie Benaud has lent his evocative narration to Channel 9's powerful tribute to Phillip Hughes.
Australia's oldest and largest sporting club, the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC), is celebrating 175 years since its formation with a number of activities throughout 2013.
MCC 175th Birthday Draw
To reward the fantastic support that MCC members and waiting list candidates have provided from 1838 to today, we're offering the chance to win a variety of prizes.
Each month until the end of November, random draws will select lucky members and waiting list candidates who have registered their email address with the club.

Highlights include:

Celebrating a history like no other
The MCC was founded on November 15, 1838 when five men - Frederick Powlett, Robert Russell, George B. Smyth and brothers Alfred and Charles Mundy - agreed to form a cricket club to be known as the Melbourne Cricket Club.
Since then, the club has been an integral part of Melbourne life - principally as venue manager of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), but also as a large, diverse club comprising people from all walks of life and backgrounds.
For generations, MCC membership has been one of the most keenly sought-after in Australia.
Throughout this year there will be opportunities for the public, MCC members and waiting list candidates to recognise a milestone reached by few other institutions in Melbourne. These include:
• An open day on the MCG and in the Members Reserve for MCC members, waiting list candidates and the public.
• A gala dinner for MCC members and guests.
• A 175th Birthday Draw for members and waiting list candidates.
• A commemorative cricket match on the MCG between two of the world's oldest sporting clubs - the MCC and the UK's Marylebone Cricket Club - on December 31, following the Boxing Day Test between Australia and England.
MCC president Paul Sheahan said he was honoured to be leading the club through its 175th year.
"The MCC is more than just a large group of members based at the MCG," Mr Sheahan said.
"It was prominent in developing the colony's cricket and played a major role in guiding the game until after the turn of the 20th century. It was also highly influential in the establishment of other sports in Victoria, including tennis, baseball and lacrosse.
"For almost two centuries, the MCC has funded and managed the largest and most attended stadium in Australia and today we also operate as a heritage preserver, tourism operator and custodian of public parkland.
"We invite our members and the broader public to participate in the festivities and join us in celebrating this rare and wonderful achievement."
For more information about the MCC's 175th anniversary, keep an eye on www.mcc.org.au/mcc175 and the MCC's social media channels - Twitter and Facebook.
