i know where that guy is coming from. when i was a kid all I ever wanted to be was Lakota or Apache. i am Mexican even though my grandfather was an apache mexican and my grandmother was zapotec italian. my father was yaqui, but, i never felt native. i felt mexican, a generic person who spoke spanish. I didnt look like the stereotype t.v. native which were often plain natives like the Lakota.

this is an excellent movie--it really explores Lakota culture on many levels and the flash back stories teach the young man.....August Schellenburg great actor.

no such thing as "eskimo." yet another forked tongue distortion. Inuit and Saami aretwo of the peoples of the arctic circle and there are many others. Bjork is one of them, even if she thinks of herself as "icelandic."

by, 02-19-2012 at 08:05 AM (2303 Views)
Call add() method for addition of the elements to Queue. This is an inherited type of method of Collection interface.
Different elements are added to a Queue which is explained by this given code.
In a Queue, added elements get stored in internal order and they are dependent upon implementation. Same happens with element retrieval.Java Code: This is the code to explain add operation in Java QueueQueue myQueue = new LinkedList(); myQueue.add("element 1"); myQueue.add("element 2"); myQueue.add("element 3");
To get 1st element from queue, use this code:
For removing or taking the 1st element, removal method is used. Following code explains it.Java Code: This is the code to get first element of Java QueueObject firstElement = myQueue.element();
Java Code: This is the code to remove elements from Java QueueQueue myQueue = new LinkedList(); myQueue.add("element 0"); myQueue.add("element 1"); myQueue.add("element 2"); //access via Iterator Iterator iterator = myQueue.iterator(); while(iterator.hasNext(){ String element = (String) iterator.next(); } //access via new for-loop for(Object object : myQueue) { String element = (String) object; }

OpenShot: How to Edit Video Files in Ubuntu 14.04
Quick guide on how to use the OpenShot video editor to clip files using the Razor tool in Ubuntu 14.04 and any other OS with OpenShot installed. If you have any comments or video suggestions, feel free to add them in the comments section below.Read More
Connect to SSH/SFTP Servers Using FileZilla
A friend wanted to know how to connect to my Linux server via SSH but PuTTY doesn't provide an easy way to transfer files. Fortunately, FileZilla allows you to connect to SFTP servers and the client is available on the major operating systems. If you have any additional questions feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
Convert .OGV/.OGG video to .MP4 with OpenShot
recordMyDesktop is a solid screen capturing program for Linux but one of its cons is with .OGG/OGV format you get after export. Fortunately, there are several methods in Ubuntu 14.04 and other versions to convert the files into a format that video editors like.
Convert .OGV files to .MP4
There are several transcoding programs you can use but in Ubuntu 14.04 and Elementary OS I've had limited (absolutely zero) success with the transcoders I've tried. However, its possible to use OpenShot to convert files to several different formats including .MP4.
1.) First, download the latest build of OpenShot:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-doc
2.) Next, create a new project and import the .OGV clip
3.) Drag the clip into Track #1 or #2
4.) Navigate to File+Export Video (or CTRL+E)
5.) Use these settings:
6.) Click Export Video and let it grind out the .MP4
Convert .OGV files to .AVI
This can be done with OpenShot but its much easier to just use mencoder from the command line.
1.) Open a terminal window
2.) CD to the directory containing your .OGV file
3.) Copy & paste "mencoder -idx input.ogv -o out.avi -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc" without the quotation marks and replacing "input.ogv" with your file nameRead More
How to change your nameserver on Namecheap.com (or other domain registrar)

4.) Click "Domain Name Server Setup" in the left-hand menu
5.) Click the radio button next to where it says "Specify Custom DNS Servers" and type in the Nameservers shown in the image. Lastly, click "Save Changes" to update your settings.

What Cloud Backup Service should I choose?
If you've had a computer for any amount of time it is inevitable that you've lost data due to a hard drive failure, a virus, or some other disaster.
Cloud storage services allow you to backup your data to the internet so that if the local data on your phone, tablet or computer is ever lost or stolen, it can be recovered from their service. All of the services below offer space to your personal or business files, but they differ when it comes to features, storage & price. I've categorized each service by summary, features, price & overall score to help you determine which one is right for you.
If you would like to add more information about services featured below please leave a comment at the bottom of this page.
Included in this comparison you will find information about Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive, and Dropbox to give a well rounded view of what is available.

Deep Purple - New Album "Now What?!"
View Single Post
May 5 2013, 12:09 PM
Location: The Electric Age
Re: Deep Purple - New Album "Now What?!"
^Whoops, my bad! Mk II (and IIa) of course.
I was a Mk III fan, 'Burn' is a great album. 'Stormbringer', with minimal Blackmore participation, not so much, though I like 'Hold On' and 'Soldier of Fortune'. And 'Made in Europe' has its moments. The real problem with Mk III is that egos began to get in the way, and the problems they went through at that time (drugs etc).

Sales Consultant Interview
I applied online. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at CarMax in December 2014.
The hiring process took about two weeks. I had a phone interview and then was later contact for a second interview. The interview took about two hours. They asked me questions about my previous experience and if I had any sales experience. It was a very calm nice setting. I had to roleplay for them and sell them a Toyota Camry which was fun. I didnt know much about sales, I did ALOT of reseach and studying before i went for the second interview.

Took place in a hotel, they were recruiting for a brand new store. I did a panel interview with two managers who were very nice. The entire process took 2 and a half hours. I had to sell a car to them, but they are really looking for conversation with the customer, asking them open ended questions, and at the end ask them if they would like to take a test drive. At the end they discuss if they wanted to hire me and then invited me into another room and offered me a full time position. Lastly they had me take a urine drug test on site, in the hotel (which I thought was weird) but they send it off to a lab.Interview Questions

There could be several possibilities, but the first thing to do is have the codes read out. You may have a local parts store like Autozone that might read them for free. If you can get the codes and post them here, we can get you a more definitive answer.

Had the same problem. Replaced plugs, wires and coil pack. Turns out it was all a waste. The spark plugs were not gapped properly. Re-gapped spark plugs and now it runs better than ever! Try this before doing anything else and save alot of $$$!

I was recommeded this film after watching Juno. Ellen Page plays her role convincingly and i found this drama very thought provoking in the current social climate.
This film leaves a lot to the imagination in so far as backstory but i thought this film was worth a watch...you'll find that after you watch it you will suggest it to someone else.
Didn't really see the point of Sandra Oh though?

When i was first introduced to this series i didn't like it. BUT Once i had watched two eps back to back i found the characters (including a Brit) and the prospect of real swear words being used in everyday speech (as it would be) wicked.Following George and the gang reap souls is entertaining and humerous in a dark way. If your a horror fan you'll love the gore and thought that goes into each person's death and even if your not a horror guru you will enjoy the way inwhich death is dealt with in what i would call a funnier type of six feet under. Also as the series progresses Delories will remind you of your own boss!Get this and series 2 two and enjoy ;)

In the background is the Copacabana Beach coastline.
Every Sunday, the Rio city council shuts down the main road next to Copacabana beach so residents can take full advantage of it through cycling, jogging and music performances.
The scramble to finish construction on the eve of the World Cup has created the potential for snags in a system with little margin for error.

The Ambient node represents a cost-effective solution to reduce both capital and operational expenses for utilities.
At the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held earlier today, John J. Joyce, President and CEO of Ambient, addressed this milestone achievement. "With over ten years of experience in meeting the needs of utilities, we have designed and manufactured a communications platform, with the X-3100 node at its heart, that has the versatility to meet the multiple smart grid applications for today's utility needs. Moreover, the platform is flexible to accommodate new requirements and applications as they are developed. We are gratified to have reached this milestone."As there is no one communications technology that is right for all applications and environments across utilities, the Ambient node's ability to support multiple communications protocols, working simultaneously with purpose-built applications and consulting services, provides a level of visibility and control that utilities have never before enjoyed.

Hatteras owners club seeks growthPosted on
A club for Hatteras owners is expanding its criteria to attract more members as owners either leave boating or move "in another direction," the club announced.
The Hatteras 1510 Club recently changed its name to The Hatteras Classic Club, reflecting a decision to include all Hatteras owners instead of just those with a beam of 15 feet, 10 inches.
Eight members formed the club in September 2010. It now has nearly 100 worldwide.
"Recently, however, as more owners are either getting out of boating or moving in another direction, there are limited numbers of enthusiasts that are willing to devote the time and resources or maintain these lovely vessels," the club wrote in a statement.
Hatteras parent company Brunswick Corp. recently announced that it wanted to expeditiously sell the brand.
The club hosts a national Labor Day rendezvous that includes guest speakers and maintenance seminars, as well as a winter rendezvous either in Florida or the Caribbean. A Great Lakes rendezvous is held in the spring or early summer.

I used to be a regular Glee viewer. For the first two seasons, it was possible (though not necessarily easy) for me to look past the cringe-worthy storylines and enjoy the musical sequences. But as each new episode aired, it became harder and harder to not feel angry about the one-dimensional characters and Ryan Murphy's obvious lack of ability to write for women, people of color, and people with disabilities. And honestly? With the exception of Kurt, the show's handling of queer issues has been disastrous, too.
I stopped watching Glee after seeing Season 3's episode "I Kissed a Girl," during which Santana performs Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" as if it were a song about lesbian reclamation rather than performative bisexuality for the sake of male spectators. (Don't worry, we will address Perry's song and what negative messages it sends about bisexuality later in this series!) But this episode wasn't the first time the show dropped the ball on queer representation. Season 2's episode "Blame It on the Alcohol" stands out as a prime example of Glee missing the mark on bisexuality, particularly bisexual men.

Siberia's big-volume Bashkaus River saw its first descent in 1972, and the violent Class V rapids that churn through the gorge swallowed half of the first group on the first rapid.
The following year, the remaining members of the group returned to build a monument and leave behind a book for all other kayakers to sign as a right of passage through the deadly lower Bashkaus River Canyon. The book still remains in the gorge, and is known as "The Book of Legends."
Fast forward to Fall 2010, the Sickline Team gave it a go in hopes to add their names to the immortalizing script. They documented the expedition that led deep into Siberia's unforgiving Altai Mountains and past two dead bodies before reaching the Canyon. The resulting film, appropriately titled "The Book of Legends," took top honors at the Reel Paddling Film Festival for Best Adventure/Travel Paddling Film.
Featured paddlers include: Olaf Obsommer (GER), Tomass Marnics (LAT), Florian Dillier (SUI), Jared Meehan (NZL), Bernhard Mauracher (AUT), Sam Sutton (NZL), Stephan Pion (FRA), Thilo Schmitt (GER), Timo K ster (GER) and Philip Baues (GER).
Watch the trailer below, and check out the Festival's tour schedule to see if a screening of "The Book of Legends" is coming to a town near you. If you're interested in pursuing the book, you better be good... and you should read this interview on WhitewaterAddiction.com.

The Inflation ObsessionMarch 04,2014Recently the Federal Reserve released transcripts of its monetary policy meetings during the fateful year of 2008. And boy, are they discouraging reading.
Partly that's because Fed officials come across as essentially clueless about the gathering economic storm. But we knew that already. What's really striking is the extent to which they were obsessed with the wrong thing. The economy was plunging, yet all many people at the Fed wanted to talk about was inflation.
Matthew O'Brien at The Atlantic has done the math. In August 2008 there were 322 mentions of inflation, versus only 28 of unemployment and 19 of systemic risks or crises. In the meeting on Sept. 16, 2008 — the day after Lehman fell! — there were 129 mentions of inflation, versus 26 mentions of unemployment and only four of systemic risks or crises.
Historians of the Great Depression have long marveled at the folly of policy discussion at the time. For example, the Bank of England, faced with a devastating deflationary spiral, kept obsessing over the imagined threat of inflation. As the economist Ralph Hawtrey famously observed, "That was to cry 'Fire, fire!' in Noah's flood." But it turns out that modern monetary officials facing financial crisis were just as obsessed with the wrong thing as their predecessors three generations before.
And it wasn't just a bad call in 2008. Much supposedly informed opinion has remained fixated on the supposed threat of rising prices despite being wrong again and again. If you spent the last five years watching CNBC, or reading The Wall Street Journal opinion pages, or for that matter listening to prominent conservative economists, you lived in a constant state of alarm over runaway inflation, which was coming any day now. It never did.
What accounts for inflation obsession? One answer is that obsessives failed to distinguish between underlying inflation and short-term fluctuations in the headline number, which are mainly driven by volatile energy and food prices. Gasoline prices, in particular, strongly influence inflation in any given year, and dire warnings are heard whenever prices rise at the pump; yet such blips say nothing at all about future inflation.
They also failed to understand that printing money in a depressed economy isn't inflationary. I could have told them that, and in fact I did. But maybe there was some excuse for not grasping this point in 2008 or early 2009.
The point, however, is that inflation obsession has persisted, year after year, even as events have refuted its supposed justifications. And this tells us that something more than bad analysis is at work. At a fundamental level, it's political.
This is fairly obvious if you look at who the inflation obsessives are. While a few conservatives believe that the Fed should be doing more, not less, they have little if any real influence. The overall picture is that most conservatives are inflation obsessives, and nearly all inflation obsessives are conservative.
Why is this the case? In part it reflects the belief that the government should never seek to mitigate economic pain, because the private sector always knows best. Back in the 1930s, Austrian economists like Friedrich Hayek and Joseph Schumpeter inveighed against any effort to fight the depression with easy money; to do so, warned Schumpeter, would be to leave "the work of depressions undone." Modern conservatives are generally less open about the harshness of their view, but it's pretty much the same.
The flip side of this anti-government attitude is the conviction that any attempt to boost the economy, whether fiscal or monetary, must produce disastrous results — Zimbabwe, here we come! And this conviction is so strong that it persists no matter how wrong it has been, year after year.
Finally, all this ties in with a predilection for acting tough and inflicting punishment whatever the economic conditions. The British journalist William Keegan once described this as "sado-monetarism," and it's very much alive today.
Does any of this matter? It's true that the Fed hasn't surrendered to the sado-monetarists. Notably, it didn't panic in 2011, when another blip in gasoline prices briefly raised the headline rate of inflation, and Republicans began inveighing against the "debasement" of the dollar.
But I'd argue that the clamor from inflation obsessives has intimidated the Fed, which might otherwise have done more. And it has also been part of a general climate of opposition to anything that might address our continuing jobs crisis.
As I suggested, we used to marvel at the wrongheadedness of policymakers during the Great Depression. But when the Great Recession struck, and we were given a chance to do better, we ended up repeating all the same mistakes.

The Courier-Mail in Brisbane reported on Thursday that the Reds
playmaker, who had anticipated returning to Super Rugby soon, "tweaked" the
knee while playing a game of touch rugby.
He went to a private hospital there on Thursday for scans to
ascertain the extent of the latest damage.
The single-minded No 10 had arranged the game after issuing
an appeal on Twitter for a place in any "touch" team to aid his rehabilitation.
He has been back in non-contact training with Super Rugby
champions the Reds, although young Sam Lane, educated at Bishops in Cape Town,
keeps his current spot in the team to play the Stormers at Suncorp Stadium on
Friday (11:40).

- 0Sep 10, '10 by zlayacobakai dont think its bad doing thing without Dr. order - i had number of cases in y department where nurses` awareness and actions saved peoples lives!!! we are not just doing things we are told to - we have to think and if doc is cannot solve the problem right away - we can help him. now, i am not talking about prescribing meds besides OTC, but taking blood samples, putting iv lines or giving fluids when necessary, its our duty i think. i am only doing this when i am 100% sure i am right and when i am not - i am calling a doc. but honestly - we are being near the patients more time - docs do. we can see and suggest things and eventually do things to prevent our patients condition worsening.

The two times I had to do something without an order he was tied up with a cardiac arrest on another floor. It is awesome to have someone on site all the time, though, and 99.9% of the time they're awesome about getting back to us very quickly.I'm spoiled. Where I work, there's a moonlighter making $120/hr to sit 24/7 and answer nursing calls. For the most part they're up within 5 minutes to write an order, and if it's an emergency I swear they have wings because they fly from the on call room and up three flights of stairs to be in the pt's room in under 10 seconds. They listen to our suggestions and I almost always get the orders I want/need for my patients.
- 0Sep 16, '10 by ShettymooreHi, great nurses! In the hospital where I work, Nurses always favour Doctors by doing their works even filling all sort of investigation forms, re-prescribing drugs that finished. With time I think we'll be given equal right with them.
- 1Sep 16, '10 by diane227In an emergency I have done everything except give medications unless I was functioning under a standing protocol. I have no hesitation at ordering certain blood work, EKG, CXR, applying oxygen, starting an IV if the patient needs it. I have never once in 32 years of nursing had a problem with any physician for doing this and taking the required action before speaking with them.
- 0Sep 16, '10 by gentlegiverI've sent patients to the ER w/o a Dr's order, calling the on-call number then waiting for a call back was time I felt my patient didn't have to waste. I called after they were gone, got yelled at for making what ended up being a good call, been told the patient was DNH/CMO, paperwork never completed & placed into the chart by said NP/PA/DR. Will I do it again??? You Bet!

Given a number $b$, which we write as a product of prime numbers:
$$b = p_1 \cdots p_s$$
Can I then deduce that a number, which divides $b$ then has to be a product of the above primes in the factorization of $b$?
Given a number $b$, which we write as a product of prime numbers:
$$b = p_1 \cdots p_s$$
Can I then deduce that a number, which divides $b$ then has to be a product of the above primes in the factorization of $b$?
Essentially yes: If $p_1,\ldots,p_s$ are primes (possibly repeated), then every divisor of $$b = p_1p_2\cdots p_s$$ must be a (possibly empty) product of some (possibly all) of the $p_i$, times $1$ or $-1$.
A divisor of $b$ has to be a product of some of the prime factors of $b$, but "some" may mean $0$ of them (if the divisor is $1$). The divisor can have no prime factors that are not prime factors if $b$.
If the divisor in question is $c$, then for some number $d$ we have $b=cd$. If a prime number $p$ divides $b$, then $p$ must divide either $c$ or $d$ (or both). The foregoing sentence is Euclid's lemma.
Yes, you can, let $b=p_1^{a_1}p_2^{a_2}\cdots p_s^{a_s}$, and let number $a=r_1^{b_1}r_2^{b_2}\cdots r_t^{b_t}$ divides $b$. If $a$ is a product of primes of number's $b$ factorization, then $\dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{p_1^{a_1}p_2^{a_2}\cdots p_s^{a_s}}{r_1^{b_1}r_2^{b_2}\cdots r_t^{b_t}}=p_1^{c_1}p_2^{c_2}\cdots p_s^{c_s},\, c_i\leq a_i$. If $a=p_1^{d_1}p_2^{d_2}\cdots p_s^{d_s}p,\, d_i\leq a_i,\,p\neq p_i,d_i\geq 0,\,i=1\dots s,p\geq 2,\,p\in\mathbb{P}$, i.e. there is exactly one prime number in the factorization of $a$, which isn't in the factorization of $b$, then $\dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{p_1^{a_1}p_2^{a_2}\cdots p_s^{a_s}}{p_1^{d_1}p_2^{d_2}\cdots p_s^{d_s}p}=p_1^{e_1}p_2^{e_2}\cdots p_s^{e_s}\frac{1}{p},\,e_i\geq 0$, but $p\geq 2$ so $a$ doesn't divide $b$. Of course, the same holds if we add more than one "new" prime number
Hint $\rm\ p\ |\ d\ |\ p_1\cdots p_n\ \Rightarrow\ p\ |\ p_j\:$ for some $\rm\:j\:$ by the Prime Divisor Property. Cancelling $\rm\:p\:$ from $\rm\:d\:$ and $\rm\:p_1\cdots p_n\:$ and inducting yields that the prime factors of $\rm\:d\:$ are a sub-multiset of $\rm\{p_1,\ldots,p_n\}.$
Generally $\rm\:d\ |\ b_1\cdots b_n\ \Rightarrow\ d = d_1\cdots d_n,\ \ d_j\ |\ b_j,\:$ i.e. a divisor of a product is a product of divisors. This is a useful generalization of the Prime Divisor Property from atoms to composite numbers. Yours is the special case when all $\rm\:b_j = p_j\:$ prime, so $\rm\:d_j = 1\:$ or $\rm\:p_j\:$ (modulo a unit factor $\pm1$).

POSTED: Monday, February 22, 2010 - 6:23pm
UPDATED: Thursday, April 8, 2010 - 3:25am
TYLER-The two men accused of church arson in East Texas remain behind bars.On Monday they were arraigned and did not have much to say.
Jason Bourque, 19, and Daniel McAllister, 21, stood in front of a judge and were formally charged Monday afternoon. For now, they are charged with one church fire but investigators told us they have evidence that could put the boys at all ten fires.
Bourque and McAllister walked into Judge Christi Kennedy's courtroom Monday with there heads hung low. One at a time they faced Judge Kennedy and were charged with arson with intent to damage a place of worship. Bourque stood with his attorney, Daniel McAllister stood alone. When asked if he needed help affording a lawyer, McAllister said his family "hates him" and would not give him the money. His attorney will be court-appointed.
According to the arrest affidavit, during their investigation of Dover Baptist in Lindale, investigators found a red wing boot print on the back door from the arson trying to kick it open. That same boot print has been previously found at several of the other churches.
Another footprint from a Skechers shoe was also found and traced to other churches.
Along with footprints, surveillance video from two gas stations puts Bourque and McAllister in the area and around the same time of the Dover Baptist and Clear Springs fires on the night of February 8th.
KETK obtained exclusive surveillance video from one of those gas stations.
Last Thursday a tip led agents to Jason Bourque's house in Lindale. After speaking with Bourque, agents noticied a pair of muddy Skecher shoes inside the garage. Agents say the shoe footprint matched the shoe prints they found from several church fires and those churches that were broken into. This led to Bourque's arrest on Sunday morning in Grand Saline.
And the red wing boot print led lawmen to McAllister in Bexar County. It was matched through family members. McAllister's family told agents he bought a bus ticket from Dallas to San Antonio last week. Texas Rangers caught up with McAllister early Sunday morning in Bexar County where he was arrested and taken back to Tyler.
A trial date has not been set, but Judge Kennedy did decide Monday to keep both of their bonds at $10 million.
If found guilty, it's a 1st degree felony which is punishable by up to 5-99 years or life in the state penitentiary.

The Barstool Sports headquarters in Milton, Mass., is a dump. There's no other way to put it. A former doctor's office located nine miles south of Boston and walking distance from Portnoy's home, it's virtually anonymous, identifiable only by a slim cardboard sign emblazoned in ballpoint pen with the Barstool Sports name, affixed to the mailbox adjacent to the front door beneath layers of masking tape. The interior suggests the unholy union of a fraternity house and a crime scene: Beer advertisements featuring half-naked women adorn the walls, towers of junk wobble in every corner, and the carpet is soiled with a panoply of dark dribbles and stains.
The impish Portnoy holds court from an attic office above the fray, dressed in a "Bro Surf" T-shirt and blue jeans. The Barstool headquarters, he says, "goes with the brand. We don't try to impress everybody. Those guys don't need anything nice down there, and I certainly don't."
Barstool content is similarly rough around the edges. Portnoy and his growing blogger team publish between 70 and 80 posts each weekday--everything from sports commentary to stream-of-consciousness tirades to bikini shots to coed slide shows ripped from Facebook--no finesse necessary. Spelling mistakes and punctuation errors are commonplace, and the site design is no-frills.
But don't sleep on Portnoy's uniquely acerbic wit, sly social commentary and uncommon knack for viral-friendly catchphrases. A born sloganeer, he has devised a lexicon of Barstool signatures, including "smokeshows" (i.e., beautiful women), "hardo" (an arrogant or obnoxious male) and, most famously, "Viva La Stool," the rallying cry that has spawned countless homemade signs hoisted at sporting events, live news broadcasts and even the 2011 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
"The first time I used 'Viva La Stool,' I was just bragging about something. People grabbed it, and it went viral organically," Portnoy says. "There are almost no other websites that have the type of readership we do. [Advertisers] should be like, 'That's why I need to be on that site. Because if he says something or does something, the readers react to it.'"
Portnoy didn't set out to build a cult phenomenon. Hell, the guy didn't even set out to build a website. The 36-year-old Swampscott, Mass., native launched Barstool Sports in 2004 after quitting his sales gig at IT market research firm Yankee Group. "I knew I wanted to start my own business. I was a degenerate gambler, and I also knew I wanted to be in that field," he recalls.
After a series of unsatisfying meetings with Las Vegas casino executives, Portnoy spoke with several offshore casinos. "They all said, 'Don't do a website, because they're all cluttered with gambling ads. But if you had a physical handout, we'd be interested.' I had the sales background, so I sold a year's worth of ads."
While the embryonic print edition of Barstool Sports focused on gambling tips and fantasy-sports projections, Portnoy soon began documenting his personal life and causes célèbre like reality TV and dogs, with each successive article adding new facets to the larger-than-life El Presidente persona--brash, blunt and brutish, but also refreshingly candid and scathingly self-deprecating.
"El Pres is a character Dave plays. He's one of the most regular, nondescript guys going, and I mean that as a compliment," says stand-up comic and Boston sports radio personality Jerry Thornton, a longtime Barstool contributor. "He's got a lot of 'Masshole' in him--guys here love breaking each other's balls. He isn't afraid to tell you that you suck while he's being a friend to you. That's Barstool: It's honest and it's funny, and that's what people are looking for but don't get elsewhere."
Readers responded so favorably to El Presidente's ranting and raving that Barstool Sports quickly outgrew its fantasy-gaming origins. "I was lucky people liked my writing. They really liked the off-the-wall stuff," Portnoy says. "There's two things I think I've done well: I know what funny is. I recognize it whether it's on TV or whatever. And we react quickly--we make a decision and we go. We follow what people are reacting to. And that's how Barstool changed from its original concept
to what it is today."
Barstool Sports' progression from gambling rag to lifestyle blog reached warp speed when Portnoy expanded to the web in 2007, quickly embracing the possibilities of social media sharing and posting new content around the clock. He finally shuttered the print version in 2010, a year after hiring Clancy and launching Barstool New York, the company's first major move outside of the Boston market.
"That's the first time we saw that people want their own Barstool," Clancy says. "Each city wants their own website, and having someone in that city like me who knows exactly what a [New York] Mets fan or Jets fan is thinking makes all the difference. "You can't replicate Boston. It's the crown jewel of the empire. But you can make your own version of that. It's all about the local feel."
Barstool Sports now encompasses five sites, including Philadelphia and Chicago outposts, as well as the campus-theme BarstoolU (Motto: "By the C-minus student, for the C-minus student"), each with its own editorial staff and sensibilities, operating almost completely autonomously. There's also a so-called "superblog" that consolidates content from across the network. More than 4 million unique readers visit Barstool sites each month, driving more than 80 million page views.
"The business model long-term is opening up as many of these [local sites] as we can," Portnoy says. "We have a hard time finding guys that are the right fit. It's not enough just to be a good writer--you have to have a personality that can play. That's what separates us from a lot of blogs. In Boston we're as big as any media outlet. If you can replicate that everywhere, then you have something massive."

|I found some energy saving bulbs a few days ago at Walmart.
GE brand, 3000 hrs, about $3.50 each.
This seems like a good deal for anybody that wants to try them.
We bought a couple and we like them.
The only lights we often use are the kitchen and family room.

Follow-Up Postings:
|We have some of these bulbs and agree that they are good. Unfortunately they don't fit the harp of our lamps and we are still using the regular bulbs in there....anyone else have a problem like this? Maybe I'm just not buying the correct one.
- Posted by mid_tn_mama (My Page) on Fri, Oct 24, 03 at 12:17
|There are now more and more varieties that fit different lamps. Also there are adapters. It's a good idea to stock up when these go on sale.
|(Coming over from the Appliance & Kitchen/Bath forums)
I have tried to use Compact Fluorescent lamps whenever possible, but I have a number of fixtures in this house in which either the smallest CF is a fraction of an inch away from fitting, or the bulb is visible and the inexpensive "spiral" CFs just don't look very good. I've used a couple of Sylvania CFs in the latter fixtures, but they're slow to start up and I find myself leaving the light on, negating the effect of using a CF.
I think we have a little way to go before CFs can replace incandescent.
- Posted by Phyllis_Philodendron (My Page) on Sun, Oct 26, 03 at 9:50
|Personally I think anything fluorescent is downright ugly, no matter how much energy I'm saving. Why would I want my home to look like an office building? It's very unflattering, I think.
- Posted by PoohBear2767 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Oct 26, 03 at 12:27
|We are using them only in 3 rooms.
And in all 3 rooms, you can't see the bulbs in the fixtures.
They are the standard square fixture that hangs in the middle of the room.
I can't tell any difference between these and regular bulbs,
other than the appearance (spiral).
We got some more bulbs Friday at Walmart.
|Hi all,
I was disgusted, a few months ago.
I got a CF some months ago for my table lamp that sits on the desk, two U-shaped tubes. The shade, intended for round bulbs, didn't fit very well.
After three or four months, I swatted a fly on the shade - and broke the bulb! It had cost about $7.00, I think.
After that I bought a pack of two (spirals) at Wal-Mart, for about $8.00, I think. One in table lamp on desk, one in kitchen.
So far - so good.
But - they'll have to last a LONG time, for me to break even.
Saving energy means less pollution. Deferred cost of building new generating plants.
|We use the compact fluorescent spiral bulbs in every fixture that doesn't show, and even a few that do. When you sit down and multiply the wattage and what you are paying to light a regular bulb, it sure feels like throwing your money away to use incandescents. Laundry room, furnace room, closets, etc. are great places for CF bulbs, in case you forget to turn off the light.Annieil
|Phyllis, the color of the light from many new compact fluorescent bulbs is very good. You're right that many of the early ones were similar to "office building" style light, but the new ones are actually truer to natural daylight than incandescent bulbs. Now that I've switched almost all my lights over to CFLs, light from incandescent bulbs looks yellow and somewhat "dirty" by comparison.
Not only do CFLs consume one-fourth the wattage for an equivalent amount of light, they also add less heat to your house, which is not a big deal in the winter, but is a great energy saver and comfort helper in the summer.
When choosing fixtures or lamps to put CFLs into, choose those that you typically use the most hours, and don't frequently turn on and off. Closets are not a good application for CFLs for this reason. If you turn a CFL on and off frequently, it won't last as long as it's supposed to last. Most people have living room, family room, and kitchen lights that are left on for hours at a time. Those are the ones where CFLs should go.
There are some great CFL flood-style bulbs for recessed kitchen fixtures. I got some of those for my mom, and she loves them. The incandescents in her eight recessed fixtures would draw over 500 watts, whereas the CFL flood bulbs draw a total of 120 watts -- and she likes the light from them better. And a side benefit: CFLs last many times longer, reducing the hassle of bulb replacement.
|I bought some of the spirals a few months ago when an electrician told me they would lower my a/c bill. He had me put my hand about a foot from the light in my ceiling fan. It was unbelievably hot. When I changed to the spirals, it was much cooler. I live in Texas and I don't need to add heat to my rooms in the summer. Personally, I don't think their "ugly" but delightfully different.
|I agree with you; it's all a matter of what you get used to.
That a/c savings point is really good. If you were to replace ten 100 watt incandescent bulbs with 25 watt CFLs, you will not only be using 750 less watts, but you will reduce the amount of heat in your house by 2,560 BTUs, which is about half of the capacity of a small bedroom-type window a/c unit.

|I use these evberyone I'm not using a dimmer switch. In my track lighting and similar fixtures I use PAR halogen bulbs.
Compact Fluorescents last longer, use less energy, and give cleaner light than standard incandescents. They've come a long way since they first came out and can not fit in almost any fixture, dont flicker, and give plain white light (not blue or yellow).
I can get them locally for $1 a piece.
|They've come a long way since they first came out and can not fit in almost any fixture, dont flicker, and give plain white light (not blue or yellow).
I had a heck of a time finding CFLs which will fit some of my lamps (primarily overhead fixtures); I finally found some at IKEA which are very small and offer decent light. I notice, however, that some of the very cheapest CFLs which can be bought at the local home-improvement center are spirals which are either not-quite-bug-light-yellow or a cold, cold blue-white. I wouldn't want to use either of them in a fixture where you could see them.
|Contray to popular belief you cannot save $$$ by using a dimmer switch.
An electrician explained it to me and although I can't reiterate the exact words he used to explain it to me, basically it was that the fixture draws the same amount of current, but only uses the amount needed for the dim setting and "wastes" the rest. It had something to do with the trasformer.
|Incandescent light bulbs are one of the most common sources of internal heat gain. ...are actually rather inefficient sources of light. The convert only about 5-10 percent of the electricity that flows through them into light. The rest is converted to heat. It would be more accurate to call them "heat bulbs"!
Replacing incadescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) - CFLS convert electrical energy into visible light much more efficiently than incandescent bulbe, using 75% less energy to produce the same amount of light. Not only do they consume less electrical power and save you money, they also emit less heat--about 90% less heat than a similarly rated incandescent light. They are also color adjusted to produce a pleasing light, not the cold bluish light of a standard fluorescent bulb. (Source: "The New Ecological Home" by Daniel D. Chiras)
We've converted nearly all our incandescent light bulbs to CFLs and did so as soon as they became available on the market years ago. There are now some that look just like an incadescent light bulb which makes it easier to get under the harp of some lamps.
Any Wisconsinites here can get a rebate of $2/bulb or $5/multipack for CF bulbs through Wisconsin Focus on Energy. We got them from our local Menards for less than $1/bulb with this rebate.
Others should probably check if their states offer similar incentives.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wisconsin Focus on Energy Lighting Rebate
|I bought some at the "higher" price many years ago to try them out. I had shop lights in the basement along with a ring light down in the basement essentially since I moved into the place. Always liked fluorescents. I like the cool white much better than warm white. Warm white bulbs really hurt my eyes. I'll have a headache in short order. Daylight bulbs are the best for me.
By replacing just two bulbs that were used often, I noticed the difference on the electric bill within two months. Then Menards started having rebates and sales so you could get them virtually free after rebate or definitely less than $1 ea so I started buying more and more. Last fall they had them on sale for $1 each without rebate. Cost isn't an issue anymore. Even at a higher retail price, if it's used a lot, you'll recap the cost in a respectable time. I think people will be surprised at the number of hours they actually burn light. Often they don't take into account the wintertime hours are far more than summertime. So the savings is often more than you'd initially think. Plus just common sense tells you that 13-25w vs 60-100w per bulb times the number of bulbs replaced equals savings. Yes you have a little upfront expense, but just like paying for insulation, it comes back later. It amazes me that people will pay tens of thousands of dollars to replace windows in the house to save some on their heat bill but won't spend a couple dollars on a CFL! Plus if you even start replacing burned out incandescents with CFLs you cut the upfront cost by the offset of cost. When you really look, incandescents aren't always that cheap a bulb.
You can get CFLs in the candleabre shape (teardrop design), mini "floodlight" style and all sorts of shapes and sizes. Just go to a place that handles a lot of lighting.
One thing that surprised me. I thought I'd have to use more of them to get the amount of light, since I was using 100w bulbs in my floor lamp by which I'd read but I have one that is a 75w comparable and I find it's just fine. And I don't think my eyes have gotten better with age!
They're not ideal for places where you turn them on for 30 seconds and off again and not use them often. So I don't have CFLs in my entry foyer light or in the hallway light. I tried one in there to see how it would be, but it's brighter than I need and the amount the hall light is on is so little there'd be little savings. I've pretty much converted the whole house to fl. lighting. I do have the main kitchen fixture left, but that has a dimmer on it. Not that I use the dimmer itself, but I use a remote with it so I can turn the light on/off from across the room and not have to walk through the room in the dark. If I can get a remote switch, I'll probably put CFLs into the fixture and use it more. There's three bulbs in there. 180 watts down to 39 watts when being used. There's quite a savings.
And FWIW, it doesn't bother me if the CFLs show. They have a more interesting look than a boring old bulb! But that's a personal thing.
I had to chuckle at my cousin. He's realizing the value of CFLs but at his lake place he has a chandelier with an odd base size. He insisted they didn't make them to fit. I found them but he wouldn't buy them until they went on sale or rebate. I did some quick calculations and showed him that he would have saved the cost of the bulbs at full retail if purchased right away. Now it's just costing him more. Stubbornness can hurt frugalness! :)

A Lesson This Hockey Fan Will Hoepfully Never Forget .. Why It's Not a Good Idea to Bang on the Glass with Players Near
This should be a lesson to children and adults alike … banging on the glass at a Hockey game has it's consequences.
A Hockey fan was at a Columbus Blue Jackets and Montreal Canadiens NHL game on Thursday pounding on the plexiglass when … well just watch for yourself and enjoy the many extra angles and close-up replays. Of course in this day and age of over-litigious actions, look for the parents to sue for assault. We do hope the kid was okay and remember, stay away from the glass.
