Winnipeg, MB
-1°c Freezing fog
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 09/1/2013 1:00 AM | Comments: 0
Military intervention in Syria would only further destabilize the Middle East with potentially deadly consequences, the leader of a peace rally in Winnipeg said Saturday.
"It's wrong, it's illegal, it's unjust, it's inhumane," said Dawn Fastabend, about the military strike being threatened by the United States on the Syrian government. The U.S. has been talking about taking action against Syria, maintaining the Bashar Assad government used chemical warfare against the rebels who are trying to oust his regime.
However, U.S. President Barack Obama appeared to step back from a missile attack on Syria. Obama said on Saturday he will first seek support from Congress before taking any action.
About 30 people attended the rally at the foot of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights on Saturday. Only one Syrian-Canadian attended, a man draped in a Syrian flag who would not give his name. He called it an "absurdity to bomb Syria on false pretenses." Most people in attendance seemed to believe Syrian rebels used chemical weapons to kill people on their side, not Assad.
Fastabend said she called the hastily organized rally in sympathy with rallies taking place globally. "There's no reason to go to war, to attack a country that's attacking itself," she said. As well, Iran has threatened to attack Israel if the U.S. strikes Syria.
Fastabend was pleased the U.S. has at least delayed a missile strike on Syria. "It gives more time," Fastabend said.
"American intervention will not bring peace in any way. The only people who will benefit are warmongers and war profiteers."
Both Canada and the United Kingdom have said they will not join a military strike. Canadians must remain vigilant so the Harper government doesn't change its mind, Fastabend said.
A young man, who only gave his name as Tom, said both sides in the Syrian dispute are guilty of "mass murder, torture and destroying homes."
"We can't be seen to be supporting either side," he said. "Getting involved in a conflict of two... mass murderers would be the wrong thing."
Fastabend is not affiliated with a particular group but was helped with her rally by Peace Alliance Winnipeg.
Meanwhile, protesters around the world took to the streets Saturday to protest for and against a possible U.S.-led attack on Syria.
In Houston, Texas, home to a large population of Syrian-Americans, about 100 people lined up on opposite sides of a street in an upscale neighbourhood to express opposing views on a possible U.S. attack.
"We want any kind of action. The world has stood silently and it's been too long. Something needs to be done," said Tamer Barazi, a 23-year-old civil engineer who carried a Syrian flag and a sign stating "Syrian Americans for peace, democracy and freedom in Syria."
Standing across the street in Houston's sweltering heat were those opposing U.S. intervention, outnumbering the supporters of an intervention. Some carried signs stating "We Don't Want Obama's War" and "Hands Off Syria."
"How would you like another country to decide who is going to be the president of the United States?" asked 53-year-old Hisam Saker, a Syrian-American property manager who has lived in Houston for 33 years.
In Washington, as Obama addressed the nation, crowds of antiwar demonstrators gathered outside the White House. "Obama, hands off Syria" shouted the anti-war demonstrators, who carried yellow signs reading "No War On Syria."

Gear Question
Hi, would the S/M size binding be the right...
John Buckley
Member since
Hi, would the S/M size binding be the right size for a 8.5 US Womens size boot?
David Zemens
Member since
you should probably use the "Live Chat" feature - I can't tell from the product description and the sizing chart is kind of ambiguous. It seems like this is the "one size women's binding" which would accommodate a size 8.5 but I'm not sure.

Strategy vs. Execution
It's funny how often I'm asked whether I am a "strategy guy" or an "execution guy." I completely understand the reason for the question, as I think it's true that most people prefer one or the other; in fact, they often very strongly prefer one or the other, or regardless of their preferences, their personality is only suited to one or the other. Yet for product leaders, it has always been very clear to me that you must be skilled in both in order to actually get good products launched.
Help Prevent User Abuse
What is User Abuse?
Succeeding With Remote Development
One of the most common situations today is where the product manager is in one location, and the engineering team is somewhere else. I don't only mean outsourcing to India either – the remote development team might be a consequence of an acquisition or merger, or possibly your organization is large enough where the developers are centrally located in a facility somewhere you aren't.
Revisiting the Product Spec
I think the product spec is long overdue for a renovation. Some would argue that Agile methods accomplish this by doing away with the spec altogether. I've written about some of the issues and limitations of Agile methods elsewhere, but in many respects I think they were on the right track.
Meeting Hell
Do you ever feel like you come in early, work frantically until late in the evening, day after day, week after week, yet at the end of the month you didn't get anything important done? Is your day packed with back-to-back meetings, with bursts of e-mail in between? If so, you're not alone. Especially in larger companies, the life of a product manager or designer can be meeting hell.
Product Management vs. Product Design
The last note discussed the different types of user interface design – interaction design and visual design – and tried to make the point that both are required for a good user experience. But the response surprised me. So many people wrote to me to complain that their company essentially doesn't do either type of design, and they know their product suffers for it. Most said that the UI engineers just did whatever they could and that was the design. Sometimes the product managers waded into the design waters and did what they could. Some companies try to outsource some visual design at the end of the process, just before the product goes into QA. Some people that wrote to me said they had no idea what any of these roles were.
Usability vs. Aesthetics
I think most would agree that the general state of web site design is still in its infancy, at least as practiced by most companies. While there are some notable exceptions, many sites, even from major players, are often either very difficult to use, downright ugly, or both. I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I have formed some theories as to why so many sites are bad, and what it will take to make this a better world as we all spend an increasing amount of our life interacting with the web.
Product vs. Marketing
In many product organizations there are problems between product and marketing. The problems might range from mild friction to downright dysfunction.
Back to Basics
Normally I focus on the product definition aspects of creating successful products. My reasoning is simple: it doesn't matter how great a job you do in building your product if it isn't the right product. That's really the role of the product manager; to define the right product at the right time. However, there is one little detail that too many product teams seem to miss, even when they define an otherwise excellent product. That is, the product has to actually work.
The Next Big Thing
You can read about technology breakthroughs in the green tech space nearly every day now, but my favorite has been watching the guys at Xerox PARC turn their expertise in electronics, materials science, printed circuit board technology and systems software towards the green technology market. We all owe a much greater debt to these guys than most people realize (especially if you're reading this on a Mac or even using a mouse), but they've come up with some very innovative approaches to solar energy that could redefine how we generate power (check out concentrator photovoltaics). Another example is in solid-state lighting; did you realize that 22 percent of electricity produced in the US is used for lighting purposes, and that solid state lighting technology can cut this in half or more?

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- After numerous bear sightings in the Knoxville area TWRA says to expect more in the future.
Nearly 1500 bears live in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and many expect to see bears in Gatlinburg, but not Knoxville.
According to wildlife officials, this is the time of year when young cubs leave their moms, searching for new territory. They also say bears are expanding in population, so as humans build where the bears live, we should expect to see them more.
"I mean I guess they could bother you, but if you don't go intentionally out and disturb them If they do come to you just try not to interfere with them," said Mckensie Nelms,of Knoxville. "We can live with them. as long as we're not disturbing them and they're not disturbing us. If we do the right precautions."
Many say they hope not to see a bear while out enjoying their morning or evening walk in the park.

Beefing Up Food Safety
Dave McSwane offers some rare insights.
Beefing Up Food Safety
Dave McSwane offers some rare insights.
Is "mad cow disease" going to be a threat
in the U.S. anytime soon?
I really don't think so. The USDA and other organizations
are creating a system that will assure protection of our food
supply against Bovine Spongiform Ecephalopathy (BSE) or what is
commonly referred to as "mad cow disease." There is
a disease similar to BSE called Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (CJD)
found in humans, and a variant form of CJD (vCJD) is believed
to be caused by eating contaminated beef products from BSE-affected
cattle. According to the FDA, there have been 155 confirmed or
probable cases of vCJD worldwide. To date, we've identified
only two cows in the U.S. with BSE.
The public's perception of risk is attributed at least in
part to the media coverage of this issue, but there are other
food safety issues that should be more on their minds than mad
cow at this point. I do think that the USDA has certainly taken
the necessary steps to enhance their regulatory oversight with
the tracking of animals and safeguards that should, with a high
degree of effectiveness, protect Americans from mad cow disease.
Should we be worried about food coming from areas affected
by the recent hurricanes?
Probably not, mainly because there isn't much food coming
out of those regions due to the devastation. The more fundamental
issue is that we do have safeguards in place to ensure the safety
of the American food supply. The real key is to always buy food
from approved sources. These would be sources that are routinely
inspected and under the jurisdiction of either a federal or state
food or public health agency. The bottom line is if you buy your
food from approved sources, you should be able to minimize your
risk significantly.
So what should we be worried about?
There are many other pathogens that we need to be concerned about.
In terms of causing disease, there are things like the E. coli
organism that can cause a variety of symptoms and in some cases,
very severe health problems for children. Listeria monocytogenes
is another pathogen that has emerged on the scene in the last
few years that is dangerous for children and in some cases, has
been shown to cause stillbirths when it's consumed by pregnant
Historically, food scientists and public health professionals
have considered pathogenic bacteria as the most common cause of
food-borne illness. This is largely due to the fact that it's
easier to isolate and study these bacteria. However, in recent
years we have improved our techniques for detecting and studying
viruses. We now believe viruses such as hepatitis A and noroviruses
are as important, and in many cases more important, than bacteria
as causes of food-borne illness.
Norovirus outbreaks have only started to get attention after their
impact on cruise ships in the past few years.
In many instances, food employees may be infected with hepatitis
A or norovirus and not show symptoms and can be shedding viruses
without even knowing they're sick. Another significant fact
is that it usually takes only a small number of virus particles
to make a person sick. Where it may take hundreds or thousands
of bacterial cells to make a person ill, it would take less than
ten virus particles to cause disease.
What do you think the FDA and USDA are really doing
well right now?
The new approach taken by both of these organizations is to ensure
food safety throughout the entire food chain. We start at the
farm by implementing good agricultural practices to minimize contamination
of our food supply. Certain things can be done at the farm that
can help to reduce the prominence of pathogens. From there, we
have good manufacturing practices, which are designed to take
a product that is as safe as it can be from the farm and make
it safer, whether it's by processes like irradiation or
pasteurization or by having surface contaminants removed prior
to going to retail. At retail, our emphasis is once again on making
sure the products we have purchased are safe and kept in that
condition and that we're not doing anything in terms of
handling in supermarkets and restaurants that would result in
a recontamination of the food.
In those cases where a product like raw meat or poultry is likely
to have bacteria, we need to make sure we are cooking the food
properly and following the steps to ensure those disease-causing
organisms are reduced to a safe level before eating the food.
What food safety issues aren't being addressed
by the FDA and USDA but should be?
I don't know that there are any issues that are not being
addressed. In some cases it's just that our system is in
need of upgrading because most of the pathogens that we're
dealing with are microorganisms. Historically, the food safety
system has pretty much been based on the sensory evaluation of
products—in other words, how does the food look, feel, or
smell? Because most of the common causes of food-borne illness
are microorganisms, you can't detect a problem unless the
product is spoiled or extensively damaged. A visual-based inspection
program is not 100-percent foolproof in protecting against these
microbial pathogens. Current improvements are in what we call
"real-time detection," where scientists are developing
tests for these microbes so we can take samples from the surfaces
of carcasses and other foods and provide prompt results. In this
way, contaminated products can be prevented from entering the
food chain.
Federal agencies are looking into how to protect the
food supply from terrorists. How can terrorists attack our food
supply and what is needed to protect it?
Certain viruses could be spread or botulism may be used. The real
key is that we do have a global food supply and a vast majority
of the products we eat in the U.S. come from outside sources and
it's difficult to maintain control. But the USDA and FDA
are typically trying to maintain an effective system for monitoring
those products. One of the things on the horizon is country-of-origin
labeling so we can track these products.
Would this be more of a threat from imported food?
Wouldn't have to be. One of the first cases of terrorism
came from a domestic situation in which a group was trying to
disrupt a local election and contaminated food on a salad bar
with salmonella bacteria. But the chance to have a sizable effect
on the health of people would not be nearly as great using food
with a biological agent as it would be if you used smallpox with
its rapid person-to-person spread. You could make a small group
of people sick, which would attract media attention and might
raise the level of fear. If that's the terrorists'
objective, they can achieve that, but if a terrorist wants to
have a catastrophic effect, there are probably more effective
approaches than using our food supply.
Why are people worried about genetically engineered
fruits and vegetables?
It's probably as much of a lack of consumer education as
anything. In the opinion of the food science community, the health
risk associated with eating a genetically modified organism (GMO)
is pretty small. There may be a very, very minor risk with people
with certain sensitivities or allergens, although I'm not
sure that it is any greater with genetically modified organisms
than it would be with any other product that might contain allergens.
We've used genetically modified organisms in the United
States for decades now and have not seen any major problems. I
think if there is a concern for GMOs, it may be more of an environmental
impact than a health impact.
What are the food safety issues in the typical kitchen?
We have seen certain kinds of meat products like hot dogs and
bologna linked to Listeria monocytogenes and in practically all
cases, the risk of contracting a food-borne illness is going to
be highest among the most susceptible populations: the very young,
the elderly, people with some sort of an immune deficiency, and
pregnant and lactating women, because they run the risk of passing
the pathogen to their child. Things like poultry should be cooked
well because there's salmonella and other bacteria that
are pretty much just inherent. Same with ground beef.
The other thing I'm concerned about in kitchens is cross-contamination.
People will cut raw poultry on a cutting board and then, without
cleaning and sanitizing the board, the knife, or their hands,
they chop up the ingredients for a salad. So now you've
got bacteria transferred from the raw chicken to a salad that
won't be cooked and you won't get the thermal destruction
of the bacteria. Preventing cross-contamination, good personal
hygiene—especially hand-washing, and proper sanitation of
cutting boards and counter tops—are things that consumers
should think about.
How about alfalfa sprouts?
Some people at the top level of the food science community say
sprouts, by their very nature, are probably the most high-risk
food a person can eat. In many cases, the pathogens are actually
in the seed and unless they are disinfected in some way, that's
a problem. In some cases, depending on the way they were produced,
they might be healthy, but I think it's sort of like the
raw oysters. If you choose to eat them, you definitely are raising
your risk.
Overall, do you think our food system is safe and being
regulated properly?
It's not to say we don't have food-borne illness,
but if you look at the number of meals served and the amount of
food produced and sold in this country, people have a relatively
low risk and they should not be alarmed in any way. Our food safety
system works and it's being improved all the time. But the
last line of defense is really the consumer, and they should view
themselves in that role because ultimately they can do things
to protect or endanger themselves or their families.

unaccentedSyllabification: un·ac·cent·ed
Pronunciation: /ˌənˈakˌsen(t)əd /
Definition of unaccented in English:
Having no accent, stress, or emphasis: his English is fluent and unaccented
More example sentences
- The process was simple: composers strictly followed the metre of the verse, setting long, accented syllables as minims, and short, unaccented ones as crotchets.
- In addition, accented and unaccented versions of all four types were created: Either all tones in a sequence had equal intensity, or some of the tones had higher intensity.
- This was most commonly spelled 'Estharlyng' at the time, and if as is probable this indicated a short, unaccented initial vowel, the aural consonance of bird's name and place name would have been closet than it is now.
Words that rhyme with unaccenteddiscontented, malcontented, undented, under-represented, unfermented, unfrequented, unlamented, unrepresented, unscented

When they meet this Friday in conference to discuss which cases to accept for review, the justices of the United States Supreme Court will have yet another opportunity to fix one of the most obvious and destructive flaws in Louisiana's broken justice system: the use of non-unanimous jury verdicts even in murder cases that can result in sentences of life in prison for convicted defendants. No fewer than six cases raising this Sixth Amendment issue are before the Court this week, all teed up and ready to be resolved.
Prosecutors love the non-unanimous jury rule because it increases the chances of conviction—you don't have to convince every juror of the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, you just have to get 10 or 11 of 12. Judges love the rule because it expedites deliberations and gets more cases off the docket faster. But for criminal defendants, and especially black criminal defendants in Louisiana, the rule cleaves them even further from defendants in the rest of the country whose liberty may be saved by a holdout juror or two.
Unanimity is required in all federal criminal cases. And only two states, Oregon and Louisiana, have a form of the non-unanimous jury rule. Oregon requires a unanimous verdict in first-degree murder cases, an 11-1 verdict in all other murder cases, and of course doesn't have the history of racial disparity that has marked Louisiana law for centuries. So, alone in the nation, in a state notorious for racial disparities in its justice systems, Louisiana allows a defendant to be convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole based upon a 10-2 vote.
What does this rule really do? It increases by a significant degree the odds of a conviction following trial. But it also means that prosecutors can comply with their constitutional obligations to permit blacks and other minority citizens to serve as jurors but then effectively nullify the votes of those jurors should they vote to acquit. That precise scenario has happened in some cases that ultimately resulted in wrongful convictions. The Supreme Court has the opportunity to finally end this practice, which is unjust both in its intent and its effect.
* * *
The text of the Sixth Amendment refers only to the right to "an impartial jury"—there is no explicit right to a unanimous jury. But the Supreme Court has long recognized that such a right exists in federal criminal trials. The Court also has consistently incorporated various Sixth Amendment's rights to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment with one glaring exception: the justices so far, despite repeated requests to do so, have refused to require unanimity in state criminal trials.
The basis for this dichotomy—this unequal application of constitutional standards with a person's liberty on the line—is a feeble ruling that now should be put to a merciful death. Oregon and Louisiana base the defense of their non-unanimous jury rules upon Apodaca v. Oregon, a 1972 case that generated a rare 4-1-4 decision. The "1" was Justice Lewis Powell, who tried to be all things to all sides in that case and ended up creating precedent that has allowed Louisiana and Oregon to become outliers under law.
In Apodoca, eight justices agreed that the Sixth Amendment applied identically to the federal and state criminal trials. Four of the eight concluded that there was no right to a unanimous jury either in federal or state prosecutions. Four more of the eight came to the precisely opposite conclusion—that both state and federal criminal cases had to include unanimous juries. Justice Powell split the baby—unanimous for federal criminal trials, non-unanimous for state criminal trials—without spending great energy explaining why.
The Court has long been aware of the cognitive dissonance of the Apodaca ruling. And in a recent line of cases—like Apprendi v. New Jersey, Blakely v. Washington, and United States v. Booker—the Court has expressly endorsed the vitality of a unanimous jury's function in the criminal justice system. These rulings are inconsistent with Justice Powell's concurrence in Apodaca and with what's happening on the ground in Louisiana and Oregon. How can we exalt the jury on one hand and discount the votes of jurors on the other?
* * *
How is this rule employed in Louisiana? In a brief filed in Jackson v. Louisiana, one of the six cases before the justices Friday, the Innocence Project New Orleans shared the example of the Travis Hayes. He was convicted of being the getaway driver for a man who murdered a store owner. Ten jurors judged him guilty. Two jurors, including the lone black juror, dissented. Hayes was convicted anyway but it was the dissenters who were right. Hayes subsequently was exonerated after new evidence linked another man to the crime.
But what is really happening? The non-unanimous jury rule permits prosecutors to allow unconstitutional racial disparity to slink back into jury selection. It enables them to put just enough minority jurors on a particular jury to avoid violations of the Supreme Court's rule in Batson v. Kentucky, but not enough to prevent the possible conviction of the defendant by a juror or jurors who might—justifiably or notbe more skeptical of the state's evidence and witnesses or more willing to believe the defendant's story.
Not every prosecutor, of course, would employ such cynical tactics to ensure success. Most probably don't and never would. But enough do, or did anyway, to have provoked this startling language in 1989 from the Louisiana Supreme Court, certainly no bastion of succor for black litigants or criminal defendants over the years. The justices there described the tactical and strategic abuse of the non-unanimous jury rule in a case involving racially discriminatory peremptory challenges:
The record in this case strongly suggests that the prosecutor, already frustrated in defendant's first trial by a hung jury which included three blacks, pursued a strategy in the second trial of limiting the number of blacks on the jury to two, thus making a conviction possible even if all of the blacks on the jury voted according to racial bias. This pattern of striking all black jurors (except two) continued in the face of mounting pressure by the trial court to select a jury more representative of the black population of the parish.
As Tulane University Professor Emeritus of History Lawrence Powell tells us, Louisiana's long-ago "adoption of non-unanimous jury verdicts was substantially motivated by racial ill will" that "saturated the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention of 1898 through and through, hardly surprising since it had been called for expressly racist purposes."

Andrea Nill: At this point, it's difficult to verify what role, if any, SB-1070 played in Varela's death. However, chances are the law has made an already toxic atmosphere worse.

Editorial: The Problem of Workplace Arbitration Clauses
Over the last decade, employers have more and more often incorporated jury waiver or mandatory arbitration clauses into their employment arrangements to avoid the perceived horror of facing jury review of the way they treat their employees. These clauses are often presented in circumstances that many argue are deceptive, if not downright coercive.
What's being said
Kudos to the Tribune's Editorial Board for pointing out the problem with employment arbitration clauses. Some of the same concerns also apply to companies that require consumers to arbitrate claims.

Bunheads Review: Hurray for Nepotismby Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
For the first time since Bunheads premiered, an episode was evenly split between the adults and the teens.
"Money For Nothing" was thematic again, with Boo working for money, Fanny and Michelle needing money and Michelle flat out refusing to teach for it.
Boo, again proving she is the most normal of the four lead bunheads, got a job at The Oyster Bar. The assistant manager asked her to jump in the dumpster and then return into the restaurant. Might I suggest a hazmat suit to keep from smelling a walking sewage system? He wanted her to do this in a bar serving oysters, no less. Of all the things that have happened on Bunheads so far, that was by far the most unbelievable.
To round that into a product placement moment with a snack size bag of Lays potato chips made the scene all the more annoying. Please note I don't mind product placement at all. What does bother me is the flattened bags without ripped tops. At least make the packaging somewhat resemble what we actually use. Please and thank you.
Notably, the younger set finally got an appropriate storyline to play with. The hot new bartender, and son of the Oyster Bar owners, had all of the trappings for a good girl crush. Frankly, it was spectacular to see Sasha completely ignored by Mr. Awesome as she talked about the number of bottles at the bar compared to the numbers other bars and asking for a Temple Grandin when she didn't have a clue what alcoholic beverage to order.
He immediately became my hero when he rescued Boo from dumpster diving. While otherwise ignoring Sasha, he treated Boo with humor and humanity. That made him a total rock star in my book. Boo not gushing and oohing at his attention catapulted her ahead of her trio of friends. Sasha was so jealous of Boo that she immediately lashed out her. Sasha's found her foothold, but the jury is still out on Ginny and Melanie. Their personalities aren't winning me over, but I'm holding out hope.
The relationship between Michelle and Fanny continues to flourish, in an insult for insult kind of way. They've fallen into a comfortable place where they can pretty much say what they want to each other without causing offense. That's a good thing. Truly is no longer choosing sides and even feels frustrated enough by Fanny to turn her soulful eyes to Michelle once in a while. Things are certainly done much differently in Paradise, but I can't say I would mind having a bi-annual pay system for my bills. Box three would probably be overcrowded, but it seemed to work just fine for Fanny!
Lets take a look at some of the pop references for week:
- Fast Times at Ridgemont High
- Kristen Wiig
- Alyssa Milano
- Waiting for Godot
- Johnny Depp
- Temple Grandin
- Hoarders
It was one of the slower episodes, but one of the best for the teen stars. How did you feel about the change of focus? Are you looking forward to more screen time for Boo and friends? Admittedly, I'm a Boo gal. Hit the comments with your thoughts!

I don't hate Bunheads, and I hope it evolves into a unique separate show in its' own right, but right now, the recycling from Gilmore Girls is getting annoying. We've reused Emily, Kirk, Jason, Mitchum Huntsberger, Zak, and Gypsy. Luckily Sutton is a truly fine actess or the physical similarity with Lauren Graham would ruin any chance for accepting this show as anything other than Gilmore Girls light redux. Also, the "Heathers" reference was recycled within episodes of the Gilmore Girls, so reusing it again as a theme on Bunheads is just unnecessary. One bright spot is the bartender formerly known as Ethan on General Hospital.
Gilmore Girls ended only 5 years ago, and honestly I love the similarities. If you look up anything GG related you'll find that fans desperately miss the show. This is a great replacement; it's like a spin-off with nothing to do with the original. It's funny and smart, and the similarities are just an added bonus for GG fans.
I agree with the above review...the repeating cast from Gilmore Girls is distracting (no more La-la music please! This is not stars hollow!), especially Mitchum's new character as a surfer stoner type---way too cheesy and nothing like the classic wit I have seen and have come to respect from Amy. I do love the blossoming relationship between Fannie and her mother-in-law and look forward to the promise that this new family will find their own voice!
I'm loving this show. I caught the pilot on Hulu and was absolutely hooked. It's not just the sparkling wit of the dialogue, but how well-crafted the main characters are, especially the girls. When I was a teenager, I was passionate about the performing arts. (I went for musicals rather than dance, but still...) I immediately recognized those girls. I knew people like them. The way they perform, the way they interact is spot-on. Can't wait for the next episode! I hope Ginny and Melanie will get as well fleshed-out as Sasha and Boo — there's great potential in those two.
I still think killing Hubble off in the first episode was a big mistake.
Hi everyone! I'm glad you're tuning into the show – love reading everyone's thoughts on it. The show IS called Bunheads, so we definitely can't forget about the girls! While Michelle and Fanny's relationship is really interesting (and hilarious), I also really like Michelle's dynamic with the girls, and the girls with each other. We're still so early into the first season – while there are tons of Gilmore Girls-esque similarities, the show will find its own voice – so to speak – by season's end so I hope you keep tuning in!
I'm a relatively new TV viewer (at age 51) and I LOVE this show so far. I do watch it for the adult interaction and I've had a hard time figuring out the names of the teens and who each is until this episode. Never seen the Gilmore Girls(never even heard of it)but I saw a review for this show in the newspaper and decided to try it out. I enjoy it, the references, and the quick repartee. I hope it goes on a long time.
Anyone else seeing this is just gilmore girls again? I mean, Emily, Mitchum and gypsy all part of the cast? the quick dialogue and the la-la music? Really Amy Sherman palladino? You couldnt come up with a new cast or background music? Its a real shame i thought this show would be something fresh from this producer but its obvious its just a rip off of something she was successful with several years ago.
I'd be happy if they'd focus on Sutton Foster and Kelly Bishop and forget the girls.

Senator DeSaulnier Statement on CEO Compensation Bill
Earlier this week, Senator Mark DeSaulnier (D-Concord) announced amendments to SB 1372 to address the growing disparity between CEO and worker pay, while also providing funding to retain California companies and attract new businesses.
SB 1372 creates a new corporate tax table that decreases taxes for employers with sensible differences between CEO and worker pay, and increases taxes on companies with large disparities between CEO and worker pay. New amendments to SB 1372 require excess funds generated by this new corporate tax table be used by the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (Go-Biz) to offer tax credits through the California Competes Tax Credit to companies that want to come to or stay and grow in California. These funds would only be available to companies in which the CEO makes no more than 100 times of the median worker salary.
The bill failed to garner the necessary votes to pass off the Senate Floor today.
"We listened to opposition and amended SB 1372 to ensure that any revenue generated by adjusting the corporate tax table would be reinvested in California companies," Senator DeSaulnier said. "Funds generated by SB 1372 would have been aimed directly at retaining California companies or attracting new businesses with reasonable CEO pay to our state. Additionally, a quarter of this extra revenue would be dedicated to tax credits for small businesses. This bill would have helped stimulate economic development and keep good jobs in California."

How To Bleed Kubota Fuel Injector Lines
What do you think about this video?
Clanafull: What is the thing at the top of the injectors that feeds the injectors?
Mine (B7300) is leaking gas there but the two nuts seem to be tight. Love
your vids!
bonita miller: Great video! thank you so much, I work 3rd shift so I cant work on it now but will let you know how it goes when I do.
MrRainbowrooster: Great help. thanks for making it simple for folks like me
Mark Sundermeier: Thank you! Huge help.
Tho doris: thank you
marko stathis: Thanks for posting this. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth fifty thousand! You can read about doing this but seeing this makes the job so much easier. I got my b7100 running. Once again, thank you!
crimson22s: haha damn beetle
lexmarks567: I have a kubota D722 engine. There is fuel going to the injector pump but nothing after that it appears. I removed one of the lines that goes to the injector nozzle and no fuel was coming out of it.
vrmmarine: you do not have to blead the injector lines!, only thing you have to do is blead the gallery of the injector pump, any air in the fuel line's wil dissapear while starting , its the pump jou have to blead , feuline bleading is not nessesairy! (its practice!)
Mark Watkins: Thank you so much for posting this clear and very helpful video.
vrmmarine: @vrmmarine (hy presure injector line's is what i mean!, not the normal feul lines!)
ZeUberNerd: This solved the issue on my L295DT when it ran out of diesel, thanks so much!!!
Sara___: how do you bleed a B2920. The instructions in the manual says that you a fill the tank with fuel and run the engine for 30 sec and then stop ... not very helpful I have tried that and not helpful
crimson22s: bleed the injector lines at the injector pump and on the injectors themselves. i just ran my mitsubishi k3 diesel out of fuel today and its doing the same exact thing as what you just said, starts up runs for about 3 seconds, try to start it again sputters blowing the black smoke and then just wont fire, then it starts blowing white smoke because its all of the unburned diesel not being ignited.
james mckinney: hmm, all the kubotas i have owned have bleeder screws along the fuel system, have never in 30 years had to crack an injector line
CrazyEye75: @deepfriedmeatpie not a fuel pump either there bud. those things are gravity fed and dont have a fuel pump. its an injector pump
farmall51: HaHa Yeah Thats what I said. He must have gotten in the Diesel can I used that day. But that's all it takes . LoL
heidebill: I have a Kubota K008 Excavator, the fuel light did not work and so I ran it out of fuel, I bled the lines as you illustrated, my question is . The valve from 3:02 to 3:23 I have one of those in a diffferent location, bleeding that would bleed the return manifold?? which would also bleed the injectors?? I don't know, Bill
Chuck Haley: When bleeding the lines after loosening the nut at the injector should I see a continuous flow of air bubbles or should the bubbles eventually fade to a steady stream of fuel?
motorwolrdpl: why do you need to bleed diesel???
ricturtle: @qwedmore when i was breakdown crew, i have never done so many fuel bleeds and jumpstarts on diesel engines, mainly done detroit diesels.
teal9: thank you sir for this fine video. I got my little L185 easily running again thanks to you.
landon s: thanks man
Chet Cromer: Great video. I expect this will do the trick on my B7100 on which I just rebuilt everything from the flywheel to the joint headed to the transmission.
farmall51: We took the tank off about a month ago and found a Beetle . The Beetle was blocking the fuel flow . hahah Simple fix.
godlytv: Thanks! Between this and your website I was able to get the job done. Sadly, my finishing mower busted just after the bleed.
farmall51: Im having trouble with my B7500 HST not running . When I go to start it it takes a few seconds for it to fire and when it does it spudders and acts like it starving for fuel then it only runs for 5 to 10 seconds then dies. When its running for those few seconds its blowing out some nasty black smoke.Ive cleaned the air filter out changed the fuel filter and return lines to the tank . but it still does the same thing.Ive got fuel to the injectors but I'm wondering if the injectors are clogged .
motorwolrdpl: why dont you need to bleed the fuel in a petrol engine??
Zorro1ification: Great visual presentation for those of us unfamiliar with diesel engines.
Kenneth F. Klein: Great video, and i did this as well, but there is a bleeder screw on the side of the injector pump. that helps bleed the air.
charlesusa65: Good stuff. I have a 2 cyl 18HP Kubota on a Carrier APU for my Freightliner. Same process for bleeding the fuel system? It had been sitting up for about 5 months. Replaced the starter and tried to run it yesterday. Wouldn't turn over. Bled to the fuel injector, only one had fuel trickling out. Thanks Charles
Luc Caron: good idee
Blog Dir: Building the website was not the hard part, but monetizing it was a whole new story. Thanks for the guidance about adsense. I am finally getting some money for my business directory. This is good for both business owners and customers. Keep building quality site and everyone wins.

Poet and composer Thomas Campion was an almost exact contemporary of John Dowland, by whom his reputation has since to some extent been overshadowed. Which is a pity, because Campion's music makes an ideal complement to that of the mournful and melancholic Dowland. Rather than concerning himself with 'tears, sin, darkness and death' (quoting Grove), Campion portrayed life much more cheerfully, not to say earthly, in his many tuneful songs and instrumental pieces.
This disc worthily follows 'English Lute Songs' by these artists (CDA67126), and will give equal pleasure. Also fresh in mind is the recent 'Salve Regina' (CDA67225) for which Robin Blaze (together with The Parley of Instruments under Peter Holman) received great critical acclaim.

Or maybe someone just hallucinated it?
The McCain campaign today issues talking points to combat recent reports that the GOP's presumptive nominee has been too much of a meanie.
The voices of outrage face off against those pundits who can afford to defend Clark.
This weekend, General Wesley Clark and a popular liberal blog raised the question: Does McCain's military service really matter in this election?
Obama is as starkly unusual a presidential contender as the country has ever seen, which means he can choose either to amplify or offset any of the characteristics that define his own candidacy.

Hate the Texan's pick. Meriwether,Bush,D. Harris,Houston,Kalil,Ugoh,R. Harris are much better picks and provide immediate help. Moulds is getting older but he ain't dead. The guy can still produce besides if Carr looks his way more often, he could put up some nice numbers.

I think we have more pressing needs and the WR may not be the bpa for us...
depending on what our scouts thinks of these guys I would pick them ahead of gonzalaz assuming we got peterson in the 1st like they have.

Re: Interesting 2nd rd. Mock
But IMHO, Gonzo is better than all the guys on your list. I agree that we have more pressing needs, but I don't agree that you fill positions by "need first". I hope the Texans grab the most talented player on the board in every rd. no matter what position that player may play(with in reason). I think the talent range in the NFL is too narrow for us to reach on needs. I'm not saying we should pick Gonzalez....Unless he's the most talented player there when we pick....

I like the surname. It would sure put some butts in the seats at Reliant.
And I remember seeing him play a couple times last fall - he looked good.
But we have so many needs, and this is not a real high priority need at this time.

I'm with you Addict. We come away with either Houston or Merryweather with the thirty nine I would be very pleased. I'm not as high as you are on Ross. I think he is at best a nickle guy coming out. The other two have a chance to start for you. Further...Houston just may push Dante to the right side in '08. We'll see.

Serious, I think it is both. The Rounds 1 and 2: What your team needs is more of a factor than BPA. Rounds 3 and 4: They are about even. And Rounds 5, 6, and 7: BPA is more important.

Definitly have to take the best player if he's rated a lot higher than the others. i agree that i don't think "gonzo" is rated that much higher if at all by us or any team than chris houston or brandon meriweather..which are both coming from one of the biggest needs of our team.
