Editorial: Its ok to parent, just not in public.
Last night I went to see "Where the Wild Things Are" at the Scotiabank Theatre on Burrard Street in Downtown Vancouver. During a pause between scenes, you could hear the tittering of a baby somewhere in the back of the theatre. The kid had been making noise the entire movie but it didn't even cross my mind until I heard some male voice: "Clearly your child is not enjoying the movie."
Laughter followed, and some agreement from other folks. A few seconds later, a young female voice from down below:
"Could you be more considerate? We all paid 12 dollars to get in here, and we'd like to enjoy it."
I was absolutely shocked. While trying to figure out what I could yell out in defense of the 'inconsiderate' child, a young mother carrying a baby and leading a little girl walked down the stairs and out of the theatre. Her head was held high, even as her daughter looked up to her questioning why they were leaving.
"Are you proud now?" A third voice asked, but it was difficult to tell who, exactly, was being chastised.
The whole situation was extremely awkward. I could not believe that some people despise children so much that they cannot stand to hear them in public. It is not that the child was crying. It had started getting loud earlier on in the movie and the woman had taken it out of the theatre and had only come back in when it had quieted down.
So my question was this: Who was in the wrong? The woman for taking her child out to a movie, even though she knew she could not control its volume? Or was the man to blame, for expecting absolute silence when in a large room with strangers?
Are these the moments where social norms are created and enforced? Was that a deciding moment in history, when it became uncouth to bring children out to a children's movie?
It is clear to me that for all its talk, Vancouver is NOT a child-friendly city. That was the equivalent of a gay-bash to families.

A Potato is a farmable food source, where in the current state, it will replenish 0.5 hunger. Released in the 1.4 update, it is one of the three crops that grows in tilled farm-land. Potatoes have three states: Normal Potato, Baked Potato, and Poisonous Potato.A fully grown Potato plant can drop up to five potatoes or a mixture of a poisonous potato and regular potatoes. Occasionally, potatoes have a small chance of being dropped by a Zombie, this is most likely due to the fact that potatoes are only found in villages otherwise.

It was IMPOSSIBLE to choose just one Hot Guy of the Day from the 2014 Oscars last night. Everybody looked HAWT. One thing was clear, though. The guys decided the ladies weren't going to have all the fun dressing up in various gowns while they wore plain black tuxes. I've never seen so many white tuxes! Academy Award winners Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto were both rocking white tuxes, as was Ryan Seacrest. I liked the change!
'Live with Kelly & Michael' host Michael Strahan decided to go with some color with his burgundy suit. The rest of the guys, like Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, Jamie Foxx, Channing Tatum, Zac Efron, Steve McQueen, Jeremy Renner, and Will Smith (with a suave touch) stuck with basic black, but they still looked great. I was thrilled to see Brad's and Steve's movie, '12 Years a Slave,' win Best Picture last night. Perfect ending to the show!

ya, so this weekend already feels like it's over. and it's not even 10:30 PM, sat. night. Don't know why. Guess I haven't done too much. You know the feeling of having nothing to do, cause you already did everything you wanted to that day?
Stepping into my flat, I notice how lonely it is. Waving goodbye to my friend, as my car is in the shop at the moment, I am again reminded of just how alone I am at the moment. Why do I long for someone to come home to/with? What is is about my soul that longs for friends, for freedom? I fry up some fish to eat, cause there's nothing else, and with no car, I dont' really feel like walking to the market at 10PM. Not that it's open anyway. Munching on the leftover rice and fried fish, I feel sick. Fish isnt' cooked properly - you know the crust? It's burned black, but the fish is still cold. Ugh. Fried it again. Ate partly, threw the rest away. Sick stuff. I just want someone to talk to, to laugh with. ANYONE.
Why does it have to feel like I'm powerless? No money - won't get paid until Friday. No car till monday- so i'm stuck bumming rides off of friends. And it's not even sunday yet. Guess this is what poverty feels like. I have nothing to eat that won't take 1-2 hours to cook. No vegetables, unless you count a rotten tomato and shriveled, cool bell pepper that's wearing its age well. Threw them away.
It just feels empty. Empty cause I know it's almost time for me to leave. But i'm alone. I don't want to be alone when I leave. I guess it sucks cause it feels like there's no one to say goodbye to. At least at the moment. Maybe I'm tired. Ya. Chronic peoblem. Must get more sleep.
Man snowboarding was a blast - 4-5 hours a day does wonders for your physique. That's why I feel so bad about eating the fried fish. Here I am, nearly as "toned" as want to be...so close. And nothign else to eat but fried fish. UGH.
So my friends, my anonymous, invisible friends...my friends whom I hope are reading this...at sometime in the not-too-distant future...being a youth worker is hard. TOo many ups and downs. Good Lord, I'm ready to go home. I'm ready to end this.

I go back to work in 4 weeks, and I want to have all my pumping situation worked out before I go back.

Don't have much time, but wanted to give you this link: http://www.lalecheleague.org/Law/LawEmployment.html
Here are a few quotes from it that talk about California and the BF working mom:
THE BEST, LONG-TERM RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE OF BREASTFEEDING and working is legislation dealing with this issue. At present, only the state of Minnesota has passed a law requiring employers to reasonably accommodate breastfeeding mothers, providing them with break time and a room to express milk. California enacted a joint resolution of the legislature that calls on all employers to support and encourage working mothers who want to continue breastfeeding, recognizing that it benefits the employer as well as the mother and baby.
. . .
IN ALL SITUATIONS, TAKE A FRIENDLY, helpful, cooperative attitude. This will work much better than threatening to sue. Provide accurate information about the current medical recommendations and about breastfeeding's economic benefits. Look to see if your local or state breastfeeding task force has information on educating employers. Feel free to share information about Congresswoman Maloney's pending federal bill; you can download it at: http://www.house.gov/maloney/press/108th/20030629Breastfeeding.html* Tell them also about California's 1999 Assembly Concurrent Resolution, which contains information about why employers should encourage working mothers to breastfeed. Go to http://www.assembly.ca.gov, and look for the "legislation button." You can search; for ACR 155 and the name "Lempert."**

I think that I would go to HR. Before I had my baby we didn't have "privacy rooms" as they call them where I work but a girl had her baby before me and she went to HR about them. Luckily they had them in place when I came back from maternity leave. The best situation would be a chair, a table, an outlet and a sink. But worse case scenario, you could pump in your car if you had to. That was my plan B if they didn't get the rooms.

I love doing kid's rooms! I do appologize for the photos! I haven't had this project shot yet but I wanted to share it anyway. This teen has a lot of interests and I was directed to provide a space for school work, sleeping, extra storage for clothes and a place to exercise or just dance around with friends. This gal also has a keen interest in fashion and wanted to have a bit of a retail vibe. What a blast! I reoriented the room to create an "entrance" that greeted you with a glimpse of her interests and provided ample room for a desk. I separated the space with bookshelves which provided a headboard for her as well as storage and privacy. Speaking of privacy, the window treatments are silk with rhinestones! I took a cue from what she had on her walls previously and created pin board areas with 3 dimensional lettering that catagorized her main interests.
Anyway, I could go on and on, but hopefully the pictures show enough detail to give you an idea of how fun this space turned out!
Photos: by me thus the really bad quaility!

Jim Witko Wins Popular Fulton Speedway Modified Feature Holding Off Late Race Challenge From Billy Decker
FULTON, NY – August 2, 2014 (By Dave Medler) – Every Friday just Jim Witko and his wife Barb load up their Big Block Modified from their Clarks-Summit, Pennsylvania home and tow north passing other tracks to compete at the Brewerton and Fulton Speedways. Why do they do it? Because they want to compete against the best competition there is.
On Saturday night at Fulton Witko with his all black car with no sponsorship lettering, took the lead on the opening lap of the 35-lap Tracey Road Equipment DIRTcar Modified and dominated till a caution with 6-laps to go that lined-up all the heavy hitters of the division right behind him. Over the final laps Witko held everyone off including repeated challenges from Billy Decker for the win.
Other winners on Regional Truck and Trailer night were AJ Kingsley, NAPA Late Models, Gordy Button, A-Verdi Storage Containers 305 Sprints, Rylee Gill, E&V Energy Novice Sportsman and Chuck Powelczyk.
SUNY Canton Sportsman feature winner Brandon Hagan had his motor pulled to be taken for tech. When the results are known they will be posted on the track website www.fultonspeedway.com .
Before the big block modified feature the pole position was left open for Bud Ward who the racing world lost on July 28th with his son Pat Ward on the front row as they paced the field for one last time in front of a standing and cheering crowd who paid tribute to Bud Ward.
Witko outran Katelyn Kane and the rest of the field to lead the early going of the big block modified feature while the rest of the field scrambled behind him fighting for position.
With 10-laps complete Witko was on the hammer out front building up a full straightaway lead running the top of the Speedway. Behind Witko, Katelyn Kane was running alone in second while Adam Roberts, Matt Fink and Tim Currier fought for third through fifth.
At the halfway point and still caution free Witko maintained his big lead cruising around the top groove. Kane still ran second as Fink started closing in on Kane.
Currier, Pat Ward and Billy Decker were putting on a show for fourth, fifth and sixth.
On lap-25 Witko started catching cars at the back of the pack. An intense battle behind the leader saw Fink, Kane, Currier, Decker and Ward locked in a tight pack racing for second through sixth with Larry Wight who started 18th just a couple cars back of the battle.
A yellow would wave on lap-29 erasing the big lead Witko had when Kane and Tom Sears Jr. locked bumpers on the back straight.
Witko would now have Fink, Currier, Decker, Ward and Wight to contend with for a 6-lap shootout to the finish.
Over the remaining laps Witko stayed on the top of the speedway where he ran the entire race holding off late race challenges from Billy Decker for his third career win on the 'High Banks'. Behind Witko and Decker, Matt Fink, point's leader Larry Wight and Pat Ward finished third through fifth.
"Glad that's over with," said a relieved and happy Jim Witko with his wife Barb from one of the more popular victory lanes this season. "Man that was a fast race."
When asked about seeing his huge lead disappear with a caution with 6-laps to go Witko was asked what went through his mind with the big guns of the division lined up right behind him for the restart. "I just hope this thing fires, I was afraid of spinning the tires."
"Just hit my marks and don't screw up," Witko said about seeing Billy Decker at the end of the race. "I knew if I could keep my momentum up and not go over the cushion I'd be alright."
Recent E&V Energy Novice Sportsman graduate Brenton Joy would lead the opening 4-laps of the 25-lap SUNY Canton Sportsman feature till a caution. On the restart, Tony Finch II who started 10th would blast around Joy to be scored the leader on lap-five.
With 10-laps complete Finch opened a twenty-car advantage running the cushion. Behind Finch, Joy, Jeremy Dygert, Ron Davis III who started 16th and Beth Schneider who started 18th battled for second through fifth.
A quick yellow on lap-12 would take away the lead Finch built up over the field. On the restart Brandon Hagan (from 15th) and Davis set their sights on Finch at the front of the field.
With 10-laps to go Finch and Hagan were in a two-car breakaway at the front as they went at it for the lead. Davis, Joy and Schneider were dicing it out for third through fifth on the scoring tower.
After hounding Finch for a few laps Hagan found the bite he needed down low to shoot into the lead on lap-nineteen.
A caution with two-laps to go would give Finch, Davis, Schneider and Chris Hulsizer who came from the consi one last shot at Hagan for the win.
When the green came back out Hagan bolted away from the field for his first ever Fulton Speedway win. Tony Finch II, Ron Davis III, Beth Schneider and Chris Hulsizer finished second through fifth.
Hagan's motor was taken for inspection after the feature. Until the inspection is completed the finish is not official. When the results are known they will be posted on the track website www.fultonspeedway.com .
In the 20-lap NAPA Late Model feature Brandon Ford would lead the opening 8-laps before AJ Kingsley took the lead on lap-nine. From lap 10 to the finish Kingsley and Sean Beardsley battled back and forth with the winner in doubt till the checkers that saw Kingsley grab the narrow win. It was Kingsley's fourth feature win of the year. Behind the top-two were Johnny Hill, Brandon Ford and Harry Halliday to complete the top-five.
After coming close in previous starts in the E&V Energy Novice Sportsman track newcomer Rylee Gill led every lap of the 15-lap feature winning in dominating fashion. Ricky Yelle, Trevor Lindsey, Haiden Burdick and Taylor Jackson chased Gill across the line.
Like Gill in the Novice, Gordy Button dominated the A-Verdi Storage Containers 305 Sprint feature out running five-time feature winner John Cunningham.
Chuck Powelczyk took the lead from Skip DeGroff on lap-3 and then pulled away for the win in the Hilton's Automotive Four Cylinder feature. Skip DeGroff, Robert Jimenez, Justin Buske and Mark Johnston chased Powelczyk across the line.

After Ford broke out as a wise-talking street racer in Lucas' American Graffiti, Coppola used him as a bitter/creepy businessman in his '70s paranoia classic, The Conversation. Few actors have ever been so unnerving through sheer grumpiness as Ford managed here in a small role. His future clearly wasn't in playing villains, but Coppola proved that Ford had a knack for intimidation and seriousness. film action Action Adventure Movies Comments Load Comments More Like This Promoted Around the Web Special Features

Took the 7 a.m. flight to Seattle – booked for 10, but my ride to the airport has to be to work by 6, so 7 a.m. standby it was – so this is a hair later than usual because I was too crowded to type on the plane. But now we have a bit of time, so we can catch up. We have links, notes from practice and Paul Wulff's press conference, and other stuff, so read on.
• Washington State: Wulff's usual Thursday afternoon press conference was more uneventful than usual, so we didn't rush to get to it – plus we had to finish our story about WSU and its penchant for throwing deep recently. … Anyhow, Wulff answered my question about ASU running similar offensive and defensive schemes as WSU and if that helped preparation with a qualified yes. The qualification came from not having the depth to do what the Sun Devils are doing, not using scout teams but using the two versus the ones to prep. … Wulff also said the Cougars are preparing for ASU quarterback Steven Threet to play, believing his concussion from last week won't keep him from Saturday's game. … The secondary players injured last week, Nolan Washington (wrist) and Daniel Simmons (concussion), will both play and they'll be joined by Chima Nwachukwu some. Nwachukwu's return from a hamstring and the emergence of Deone Bucannon at safety does give cornerback some depth, as Nwachukwu's played it enough to fill in there. He needs to as Aire Justin doesn't look ready to play this week. … Wulff said Bernard Wolfgramm and Brandon Rankin will start at defensive tackle so I followed up with a question about Rankin and how he's been playing. Wulff believes the junior college transfer is still adjusting to major college football and will be OK. I will say he had a good week at practice. … Wulff doesn't think the heat will be a problem. There might be a little more rotation needed, especially if one side of the ball is on the field an inordinate amount of time. … And that's about it. On to the links. … We'll interject here with a link to my live-from-Pullman Pac-10 basketball media day coverage, which you can find here along with our short coverage in the paper (second item). We also have the Times coverage of all the conference's basketball teams, along with the Huskies, who were picked to win for the first time. … Back to Cougar football, we have Jim Moore reversing field once again and breaking free, heading for the Wulff camp. … Christian Caple of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News has his Pac-10 picks, including the Cougar game.
• Around the Pac-10: ESPN.com's Ted Miller has some fun with Halloween (check Paul Wulff's costume) and opens his weekly mailbag. … He also looks at Stanford and Arizona's chances to keep winning. … Bud Withers examines USC and Oregon's feeling for each other. … Time for Jon Wilner's picks. … Washington: The Huskies' cornerbacks are struggling. … Saturday is an anniversary of a big game for Marques Tuiasosopo. … Oregon State: At least one Beaver is happy to get back on the field again. … Oregon: Darron Thomas has run away with the Duck offense while Cliff Harris has done the same with a lot of punts. … What was it mom used to say about words can never hurt you? … … Cal: The Bears cast a wide net for this cornerback. … Stanford: More on the quarterback matchup of Jake Locker and Andrew Luck. … USC: Defensive end Wes Horton returns for the Trojan defense. … And Matt Barkley is ready for his closeup Mr. DeMille (sorry for the old movie reference). … UCLA: It's Richard Brehaut time. … Arizona State: Jon Hargis' return should give the Sun Devils a lift. … Arizona: Another player returns, but this one is from a painful disease.
• That's all for this morning. We'll be back this afternoon from Phoenix with more football. Don't forget, the WSU men's basketball team is scrimmaging this evening in Bohler if your Friday night is free. Until then …

Gwynne Dyer: Trouble in the South China Sea
If you were running China, and you wanted to distract your own population from economic woes at home by pushing one of your many territorial disputes with your neighbours into open conflict, which one would you choose?
Not Japan, even though most Chinese people really dislike and distrust Japan: it's allied to the United States, and China is not yet ready for a military confrontation with the U.S. Navy. Not the Philippines, either, for the same reason.
But Vietnam, a Communist state, is all alone with no allies. It's perfect for the role, and it will play its part well.
Early this month, China moved its Haiyang Shiyou 981 oil-drilling rig into a part of the South China Sea where Vietnam also claims the seabed rights.
Vietnam sent ships to protest the move, China sent more ships to protect the rig— Hanoi accuses accused China of massing 80 vessels in the area, including warships—and the fun and games began: rammings, battles with water cannon, and a great deal of self-righteous indignation on both sides.
The Vietnamese regime has never been afraid to defy China: it even fought a border war with its giant neighbour to the north in 1979. This year, for the first time, Hanoi publicly commemorated a 1974 clash in which Chinese forces seized the Paracel Islands and killed 40 sailors of the old South Vietnamese navy. By last week, there were anti-Chinese demonstrations in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Those were undoubtedly authorized by the Vietnamese regime, which keeps a tight hold on its population. What happened in Binh Duong province in southern Vietnam on Tuesday (May 13) was probably not.
Official reports speak of three factories housing Chinese-owned businesses being set on fire on an industrial estate, but local reports talk of 19,000 workers rampaging through the estate and burning 15 factories.
Hanoi doesn't want this sort of thing to happen, of course—it scares off much-needed foreign investment— but when you press on the nationalist button, you can never be sure what will come out.
Beijing should also be wary of this, if indeed it is really using its border disputes to stoke nationalist fervour in China. Nationalism is not a precision tool.
We can't be sure that this is Beijing's main motive, of course. Maybe it's just a premature outburst of great-power arrogance that is driving China to push so hard on all its territorial disputes this year. But it's certainly doing it.
Since January, China has declared an "Air Defence Identification Zone" over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands which are also claimed by Japan. It has outraged the Philippines by starting to build an airstrip and/or naval base on Johnson Reef (ownership also in dispute) in the Spratly Islands. It has even provoked Indonesia into openly challenging Beijing's claims in the South China Sea for the first time.
It is talking about establishing a similar Air Defence Identification Zone over almost all of the South China Sea, a maritime thoroughfare for more than half of the world's merchant trade.
Since the beginning of this year it has been requiring that foreign fishing vessels ask permission to enter the area it claims as its exclusive economic zone—again, almost all of the South China Sea—although it has not yet tried to enforce this rule very vigorously.
The area China claims, on the basis of its alleged sovereignty over the many uninhabited islands, islets, shoals, and reefs scattered across the South China Sea, extends more than 750 kilometres from its south coast.
According to the "nine-dash line" drawn on Chinese maps which is the only graphic (but very imprecise) guide to Beijing's claim, its control extends to around 50 to 75 kilometres of the coasts of all the other littoral states.
This huge U-shaped claim, taking in more than 90 percent of the whole South China Sea, is as unsustainable in fact as it is hard to defend in international law.
Nor does China seek to prove it by legal means. Last month, when the Philippines submitted a 4,000-page "memorial" to the judicial body that arbitrates maritime disputes under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, China refused to file a counter-claim or respond in any way.
China's position would appear to be that you don't need to prove your claim in the courts if you can enforce it on the ground (or rather, on the water). And indeed, the sheer number and range of unilateral Chinese initiatives in recent months suggest that the policy of the new ruling team in Beijing (which will be in power for the next 10 years) is driven by full-spectrum bloody-mindedness.
However, the desirability of a foreign confrontation to distract the Chinese population from the recession that will probably soon hit the country's economy cannot be far from the minds of the regime either.
In either case, if there is shooting, it will probably start off the Vietnamese coast, simply because Vietnam has no defence treaty with the United States.
My family fought in the Pacific in WWII, and the US is allies with our former enemies. To me, this stuff was already settled. Is China the new Japan in that regard?
It looks like Manifest Destiny to me (Not that that's a good thing!) I don't see any way we're going to engage in a hot war over someone else's tentative 'jurisdiction' of the islets. Maybe when pollution from the oil-projects destroys fishing grounds, but otherwise, isn't it just foolish to think that it matter to us.
"— but when you press on the nationalist button, you can never be sure what will come out."
That's a keeper.
Don't tell Victoria FU Nuland... She might give them the green light. See the Gulf War -
On July 31, 1990, a State Department Official Confirmed US had No Defense Treaty with Kuwait:
" China is not yet ready for a military confrontation with the U.S. Navy."
The US Navy is vulnerable to China's anti-satellite weapons, hypersonic glide vehicles and
anti-ship ballistic missiles:
Will the US Airforce be also flying the F35? Aircraft designer, defense analyst and fighter mobster, Pierre Sprey calls the F35 a kludge turkey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxDSiwqM2nw
The RAND Corporation analysis says the F35 has inferior in acceleration, climb,sustain turn capability. In simulated war game exercises, called Pacific vision, the red force dominated the exercise -It was described as "clubbing baby seals":
Also you confuse being vulnerable to certain Chinese weapon systems with being at a disadvantage. A SWAT team is "vulnerable" to a couple of bank robbers with small arms, but that doesn't mean bank robbers are ever going to beat paramilitary troops in a firefight. China's antiship missiles would probably inflict a few losses on the US navy in a confrontation, but the outcome would still be a Chinese defeat.
Make no mistake, a US land invasion of China would be completely impossible, but at sea the US would win any confrontation. And this is completely to be expected; the US military is primarily designed to project its power overseas, while China still emphasizes traditional capabilities, such as infantry, ground vehicles, and tactical air power. Long-range air and sea power are America's areas of focus.
Sea battles are unlikely & thus the Navy changed the name of 'battle groups' to 'Strike Groups' .
The navy's carrier groups, are only as effective as the carriers and planes they carry.
"The US Navy's superhornets have comparable performance to anything China has... a couple of bank robbers with small arms."
Unfortunately, superhornets were also on the seal team ( the Baby seal team ) during the Pacific vision war game exercises: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27qdB1D0s9M
"China still emphasizes traditional capabilities, such as infantry"
Unfortunately, these planes are also vulnerable to infantry small arms - Fighter mafia member, Pierre Sprey:
"if you have a $350 million dollar plane, I don't think you'd wanna put it up where a .50-caliber machine gun might shoot it down."
"US pilot training is much better"
Sprey has also described how US pilot training is suffering because of the cost of keeping these planes flying.
"being vulnerable to certain Chinese weapon systems"
A navy mafia needs to perform some Billy Mitchell anti-carrier demonstrations,
with hypersonic weapons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mitchell#Project_B:_Anti-ship_bombing...
BTW - UK,AU and Canada are also F35 customers.
You're also the master of non-sequiturs and inaccurate information; Canada at least has put its F-35 procurement on hold. Besides, this is about the US Navy.
It may also be true that US pilot training has suffered, it may not. But again, so what? If they're slightly less better, but still better, then it makes little difference. Also, if you think that surface-based .50 calibre machine guns are any use against high-altitude aircraft, then I have a fucking bridge to sell you.
In any case, I still don't even know what you're trying to say, because you seem incapable of forming a coherent argument. I can only conclude you're trolling and deliberately wasting the time of anyone who tried to respond to your useless, incoherent ramblings.
As Dyer points out, China has internal issues that require a refocusing of their population to external events. As well as dealing with massive bubbles and failing banks, they need to transition their economy from export to local consumption. Doing so will also require they keep out imported stuff, at least for a while. A lot of Chinese people will have their livelihoods destroyed in the process. In regular times, no government (totalitarian or not) could survive this. The government needs someone to blame. They will keep pushing these disputes until something happens. It does not matter if they win or lose, they will get their distraction either way. Most likely, they will not stop at Vietnam. I expect Japan is the target of choice. Big and proud enough to not ask the US for help, yet small enough to not risk extended war.
When all is said and done, we will have an angry China that has turned its back on the world, excepting resource suppliers such as Russia. You will not be able to buy "made in China" stuff at Walmart and the inflation this will cause will be staggering, but manageable. Production will move to other nations (or robots) and you will eventually get your cheap stuff again. China has 1.3 billion customers within its own borders. They don't really need you either.
Someone missed the exaggerated sarcasm in Sprey's remarks. Spray was just drawing attention to the high cost of these planes. The F-35 might fly at lower altitudes when performing surface attacks.

Where grass isn't always greener
A World Cup legacy for Brazil?
SAO PAULO (AP) — At Arsenal's Highbury Stadium, Edu played on one of football's finest pitches. Award-winning Arsenal groundsman Paul Burgess became so well-known for his green fingers that he was eventually lured away by Real Madrid.
So when Edu returned home to Brazil in 2009 to finish his career, the worn and sorry state of some Brazilian football fields was an eye-opener. Even now, as the World Cup host rushes to ready itself, Edu says pitches in Brazil aren't on a par with those in Europe, where he played for eight years, at Arsenal and Valencia.
"England, Germany, fantastic (pitches). Spain, they're good as well," the former midfielder told The Associated Press. "If you see around the world, they are at another level than Brazil."
Now retraining in football management and working at Corinthians, Edu says he bends the ears of all and sundry in Brazil about the need for better playing surfaces. He hopes the World Cup will drive home his message.
"I've always been trying to talk to everybody, to officials and to the press, and say, 'Come on, let's invest a little bit more in the pitch,'" he said. "We have fantastic players here in Brazil but we need fantastic pitches as well."
Sub-standard pitches aren't new to Brazil. Although the warm climate is plant friendly, pitches have suffered from over-use and insufficient love and attention. Record World Cup goal-scorer Ronaldo told the AP that his first club, Sao Cristovao in Rio de Janeiro, used goats to trim its grass.
"The pitch wasn't the best, as you can imagine, although the goats worked really hard," the 2002 World Cup winner said by email. "The club didn't have much money so the goats were the cheapest 'groundsmen' you could find."
The three-time world player of the year said he and 1994 World Cup winner Bebeto, both members of Brazil's committee organizing the tournament, "have talked a lot to the stadium owners about the importance of offering high-standard pitches."
"We want it to be one of the football legacies of the FIFA World Cup," Ronaldo said. "The pitch-cost represents, on average, less than 1 percent of the total investment needed for building or renovating a football arena. However, the impact is huge, as the pitch is the most important thing for the players."
Brazilians say having to adapt to irregular playing surfaces is one reason they're often such wizards with a ball.
"That is why the Brazilian player is like an artist," Rubens Minelli, a national championship-winning former coach, said in an interview. He recalled being amazed by Newcastle's pitch — "Very fast," he noted — when he took Internacional to play there in the 1970s.
Juninho was likewise impressed when he moved to Middlesbrough in 1995.
"Unbelievable," he said in an interview. In Brazil, "you couldn't find real nice pitches, not as good as England."
"I played in Wembley twice and the grass was fantastic," he added.
Yves De Cocker, director of pitch-installation company Desso GrassMaster, says Brazil has been sluggish in adopting the latest techniques. Desso has worked on dozens of pitches around the world, including Wembley, the Emirates Stadium that Arsenal moved to in 2006 and other famed venues. It injects plastic fibers into natural grass pitches to reinforce them. Three Brazilian clubs have adopted the system — Gremio, Santos and Corinthians, at its new Sao Paulo arena hosting the World Cup opener and five other matches.
"Brazilian pitches, as they are right now in the stadiums, are not really to be compared with, let's say, the average level or the general level that is accepted in Europe," De Cocker said in a telephone interview.
He said Brazilian officials "seriously underestimated" the difficulty of maintaining pitches in modern stadiums with overhanging roofs that cast long shadows, creating "very bad growing conditions."
For its new arena in the southern city of Porto Alegre, which will be a World Cup training venue, Gremio imported giant lighting rigs on wheels from the Netherlands to breathe life into its pitch that was pock-marked with bare patches when the AP visited in December.
"Half of the year we have no sun for this part, for that part," Gremio operations director Romulo Siqueira said, pointing at the stadium ends.
At least Gremio has a pitch. The World Cup arena in Curitiba was more alarming: not a blade of grass to be seen, earth and gravel piled high, six months before four matches will be played there in June.
De Cocker expressed concern that World Cup pitches might not fare well under the stress of multiple games in one month. At the smaller Confederations Cup tune-up competition last June, "almost every pitch gave serious problems," he said.
"I don't believe that climate has a lot to do with them struggling to produce good pitches," he said. "It is a learning curve. The only problem is that everybody, I think, I guess, would expect (Brazil) to be already further down that learning curve than they are now."
Ronaldo agreed that "most of our pitches cannot be compared to the European ones yet."
"But this is changing and I am confident we'll get there," he said.

'14 Division III hockey finals to be held in Maine
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — Lewiston has been chosen as the site for next year's NCAA Division III men's college ice hockey championships.
The games will be held March 21-22, 2014, at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee and hosted by Bowdoin College. It is the first time the finals have been held in Maine.
The chairman of the NCAA Division III Ice Hockey Committee said the Colisee is newly renovated, having undergone $4 million in upgrades since 2005, and is within driving distance of most of the division's East region schools.
The Colis�e seats 3,677 for ice hockey, surpassing the NCAA's minimum of 3,000 for championship sites. Bowdoin's home rink can seat 2,400.
The bid to host the championships was jointly submitted by Bowdoin and the Maine Sports Commission.

PINEHURST For the first two days of the U.S. Open, as Martin Kaymer surged ahead with a pair of 65s and the leader boards were bathed in red, the question was hard to avoid:
Was Pinehurst No. 2 too easy?
More to the point, was the new-look No. 2, with its natural waste areas and lack of grassy rough, too easy for a U.S. Open?
U.S. Golf Association executive director Mike Davis didn't think so. And the USGA had a way of resolving that issue: 18 extremely tough pin positions on Saturday, when just two players broke par and four shot in the 80s.
"Very difficult," Phil Mickelson said. "It was a tough day to go low."
Mickelson, who had a 2-over 72, said he kept looking for a good pin placement to attack in the third round.
"I kept waiting," he said. "Well, I can't get to this one, I'll get to maybe the next hole. Can't get to this one, I'll get to the next hole. Finally, we got to the 18th and I'm like I can get to the pin."
Kenny Perry, the 2013 U.S. Senior Open champion, is playing in his 13th U.S. Open but said Saturday's experience was a first.
"It was a golf course of the toughest 18 pins I've ever seen," he said. "It was probably the hardest setup I've ever experienced in a major. There was no room for error."
Perry, 53, did find a good way to erase one error, holing a 220-yard bunker shot for an eagle-2 at the par-4 14th hole in shooting 74.
"A 4-iron hybrid," he said, smiling. "Longest shot I've made in my life. Pretty incredible."
But No. 2 mostly was punching back. After three bogeys the first two rounds, Kaymer had three on the front nine Saturday.
"It was easily a par 72 today," Jimmy Walker said after a 71.
Former N.C. State golfer Garth Mulroy said he got a text Saturday morning with a tweet by 2011 U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell that said "It's moving day" with a sheet showing all 18 hole placements.
"Just seeing that tweet made me look at the pins a little harder," Mulroy said after a 70. "It's one of those courses … where you're kind of defensive from the start."
The first two rounds had a lot of players in more of an attack mode and red, sub-par numbers on the leader boards. There were 13 players under par, compared to seven in the 1999 Open at No. 2 and five in the 2005 Open.
No. 2 had Bermuda rough in those two Opens. After the renovation and restoration done by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, the grass rough was gone and the players quickly found the lies in the waste areas to be ever playable.
This also was the first Open at Pinehurst with the fourth hole, previously a par-5, playing as a par 4 hole and the fifth hole, long one of the best par-4s in championship golf, converted to a par-5. Davis said that was the original course design of Donald Ross and how the holes played in the 1936 PGA at No. 2, but even Crenshaw and Coore initially had reservations about the switch and the change to the fifth.
The fifth was the 17th easiest hole in the opening round.
"It's a bit of a risk/reward hole," said Rickie Fowler, who had a birdie at the fifth Saturday in his 67. "If you hit it in the right position you can come away with a 4."
Davis defended the golf course and its setup Friday, telling ESPN, "It really is a different test for a U.S. Open. Even with pretty benign conditions, soft conditions, no wind, it's still a wonderful test of golf for the world's best."
Asked about the players' reaction, Davis said "very favorable" and added, "They're saying, 'Geez, we thought this was more fun than we thought it would be,' " he said.
Kaymer's 130 total for the first 36 holes set the U.S. Open scoring record, topping the 131 carded by Rory McIlroy when he won the 2011 Open at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md. But McIlroy was quick to say Congressional had been softened by rain, that it worked to his advantage.
"Congressional was more benign," McIlroy said. "Here, there's trouble lying at every corner of a missed green."
And there's still a final round to be played.

Jesse Williams Previews Tonight's Grey's Anatomyby TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Tonight on Grey's Anatomy, Jackson's mother Catherine Avery (portrayed by Debbie Allen) comes to Seattle Grace to perform a groundbreaking surgery. What kind of surgery would that be?
See yesterday's Grey's Anatomy sneak previews for all you wanted to know and more on that front. Suffice it to say, Jackson's mom certainly makes a splash upon her arrival at the hospital.
Williams previewed this week's episode at length with TV Guide. Excerpts below ...
On Catherine Avery vs. Ellis Grey: I would say she has a lot in common with her in that she is a bit of a narcissist, she's incredibly meddling and all-knowing, not only in medical skills, but that spills over to social confidence and relationships, just giving advice on every level. However, I would say she's very different from Ellis Grey (Kate Burton) in that she's very warm, very maternal and nurturing. She's a touchy[-feely] mom who wants to swaddle you up.
On who else Catherine works with: You're going to see Catherine get into it with Derek Shepherd. Her dynamic with Meredith is funny because Catherine starts meddling. She knew Ellis Grey, she knows the Chief, so she is aware of who Meredith is. Her trying to toy with Meredith a bit is to suss out what the deal is with Lexie. She's trying to play a not-very-slick meddling detective, usually directly in front of Jackson's face.
On why Lexie is MIA: He doesn't want to scare her off. He doesn't want to have her feel like she's being hit by a battering ram and getting grilled. He doesn't expect his mother to be there long. He expects her to show up, give a lecture, and take off. He doesn't know there's a groundbreaking procedure that she wants to do, and he has no idea she'll essentially be living there for that short time. With sending Lexie off, he's just trying to do something right.
On the future of "Jaxie": They will have to deal with the reality of working in the same space all the time, working with Mark, her trying to find her place, him having the pressure of fifth year, and also, Jackson trying to juggle everything. They've had a really nice stride for a couple months, so I'm excited to see where it goes. But you definitely will see them engaged in a very serious and relaxed dialogue and will actually be interacting in the coming episodes.
On Jackson's take on Mark: Yeah, it's nice that Mark is sometimes funny, sometimes a prick, but he's always cocky and confident. It's nice to see somebody put anybody with those characteristics in their place, or flip them on their heads where they're the one seeking approval when they're very stingy in dishing it out. It's part of Jackson's growth process with Mark in figuring out who this dude is. Will he be a problem or a real asset to Jackson?
On fans clamoring for Mark and Lexie to couple up: I take the audience's awareness very seriously. I always want to be mindful of that as we make decisions as actors to put time and energy into creating these characters. I'm aware that they have more information than Jackson does. When they see Jackson and Lexie, they're keenly aware of her history with Mark and they expect something to happen. They want to figure out if she's really over him and if she's moving on. It's a perfectly reasonable question, and what I've been enjoying playing is Jackson dealing with that in a mature way, being aware of it, but not being obsessed with it. Jackson is learning that he can't control everything.
Its was a good episode u can see how mer and der are getter closer which is good :)
I was watching the general promo, and I dont get derek it seems like the guy has a doble personality, I mean his wife cheated on him with his best friend and moved in for months with him and the moment she meets him in seatle he forgives her and decides to give her a second chance without giving her a hard time first because she's his wife... Mer does something at work and he punishes her at home , like every single day and she's still his wife too, it seems his high morality only works on Meredith! i dont think i remember the last time he was sweet to her like he used to be on the first three seasons...
yeah...dont over speculate!!!...for all we know..this episode may be as dry as the last one...(a note to the writers)..bring in good story lines as you did before..or just go home...these four episodes were really dumb....nothing really happening there...you guys couldnt capitalize the running story lines...
I'm a bit confused that Mrs Avery appears to know about the the affair between Ellis and Webber, that's hardly worth meddling with Mer about. But Lexie isn't Ellis' daughter, and I don't think goodey goodey Lexipedia is anything like Mer, whos has only known her for a few years.
Perhaps Mrs A will put Der in his place if she picks up his sulky attitude. But I feel this is a raise Avery's standing in GA episode. But I'm not convinced he's needed as a character, nor Kepner, nor Mr and mrs Altman come to that either
@Feifei I heard that Chyler asked to spend more time with her family, that is why she hasn't been in a couple of episodes
I'm still puzzled over Lexie's MIA-status. Isn't anyone bothered by it? I mean, a whole (and maybe better) half of a brilliant couple is nowhere on screen! Ever! Hope that the whole Catherine thing will turn this around, looking forward to some awesome mother-girlfriend-scenes (we faintly remember Derek's mom questioning Lexie for the sake of Mark...).
gosh this episode will be much funny ,hope that

Hi Guys
I've never done this on a Mac, and I've been scratching my head for a while now and can't figure this out.
I've made a nice little movie in iMovie with some imported clips.
How do I then burn this onto a disc?
I've exported it once as a m4v file which to me seems useless, but i could be wrong. Currently exporting as a .mov file but it says that's going to take 150minutes :(
Is there an easy way to burn to a disc within iMovie or once I've exported it how do I then burn it to a disc and what format to I export it.
As far as I know the file just needs to be put onto the disc, not actually playable. But then I could be wrong about that to so if you could explain how to burn a playable and just files it would be great.
I think the only reason I'm confused is because the blank disc doesn't show up ANYWHERE. But I can assure you it does work...

Hoffman Lends A Most Wanted Man Gravity
By Alan Scherstuhl
To guarantee that audiences won't leave the theater laughing, however, the film closes out with some extended montages of actual minstrel shows and a collection of antique tin toys depicting African-Americans as hideous cartoons. Some of this footage is so revelatory that you wish Lee had made a documentary instead. Perhaps, though, it ultimately contradicts Lee's point (that racism is easily marketable in today's world) by showing that, despite our racial problems, we really have come a long way since the days when it was acceptable to market a spring-action toy of a mule kicking a black man in the head. For Lee to say, as he does in the press notes, that, if you take away the blackface, the minstrel show he depicts is no different from many shows currently on the air, seems a little extreme (although the minstrels do act a lot like a certain computer-generated George Lucas creation...).
There's no question that racism is still alive in America, and the lower-key jokes in Bamboozled take on the subject quite well, as in the scene in which Dunwitty, wearing blackface, mentions that he had a hard time getting a cab ("Perhaps they thought you were Danny Glover," snorts Pierre); or when Pierre gets his all-white writing staff to get past their political correctness by tapping into their anger over the O.J. Simpson verdict. But the climax is so ham-handed that it almost negates the film's prior well-scored points.

The Highways Agency is tracking the movements of millions of motorists via their mobile phones and satellite navigation systems, raising concerns over privacy.
A trial by the agency involved collecting data from satnavs and mobile phones in order to examine traffic trends, in addition to real-time data that is used to provide assistance to traffic management in order to let motorists avoid congestion and accidents.
Roads being used to conduct the trial include the M25, M11, M4, A3 and A20, all in the south-east, with mobile phone companies' data about users geo-location also being used as part of the trial, as opposed the traditional method of number plate recognition via cameras in overhead gantries.
But the mobile data trial has attracted criticism from privacy campaigners who are concerned about people being unaware about how their data is being collected and used.
"This is yet another example of how our lives are being monitored at an extremely detailed level, and just how much of that data is being shared and sold on for a vast range of purposes," said Nick Pickles, director of privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch.
"People will probably have no idea that this information is being used by the Highways Agency," he continued.
He added: "The question has to be asked if there is a less intrusive way to get this kind of data, and if it is so essential that it is so detailed as to require live data from the devices in people's cars."
The Highways Agency has responded to the criticisms by stating that all the data it collects is done so anonymously and that individuals and their movements can't be identified.
Successful leaders are infusing analytics throughout their organisations to drive smarter decisions, enable faster actions and optimise outcomes

Got this info from NFL....
Put a face on the Steelers' modern history, one that represents not only the franchise's glorious achievement but also its attitude and aura.
Art Rooney and his stogie would be an obvious choice, as would Jack Lambert and his toothless, raging scowl.
Mean Joe Greene's glare or Chuck Noll's pensive stare would work, as well.
But there is at least one more mug that deserves special mention: Hines Ward's.
In a smiling pose, of course. Was there any other?
The topic arises in the wake of the Steelers announcing they will release Hines � it doesn't seem right to refer to him as "Ward," does it? � before March 13.
It is the right move, even though Hines made it clear he'd be willing to play for allowance money. One of the reasons the Steelers perpetually reload, as opposed to rebuild, is that they remove emotion when making business decisions.
They do not believe Hines merits a spot on their roster. Therefore, he is finished as a Steeler after 14 incredible seasons.
In some 40 years of watching football, I can't say I've seen a more complete player. By complete, I mean productive, consistent, tough � a factor on nearly every snap.
I don't know that I've seen many wide receivers crack down on defensive ends. Haven't seen any break a linebacker's jaw. Never saw one besides Hines light up Ed Reed and Bart Scott in the same game.
Come to think of it, I never saw one lose a shoe and outrun DeAngelo Hall, either.
That was the big lie about Hines � that he wasn't real athletic. True, he was no blazer. But the man played multiple positions at an SEC school (Georgia), including quarterback, and even in his final decrepit season was leaping over Titans safety Michael Griffin to score.
Off the field, Hines spoke his mind. He was a self-promoter, for sure, but at the same time the ultimate team player. You could ask any of the team's younger receivers about how Hines mentored them even as his playing time shrunk.
Hines told us so many times, in so many settings, that "nobody thought I could do it." The saying became a punch line.
But you know what? It was true. When Hines walked into Steelers headquarters in 1998, a third-round pick without an ACL in his left knee, barely 6 feet tall, I'm guessing nobody looked at him and said, "That guy's going to put up better numbers than Swann and Stallworth."
He started out as a gunner on the punt team � maybe the sickest gunner in NFL history. How'd you like to be catching a punt with smiling Hines bearing down on you?
If you looked close enough at his tattoos, you could find Hines' motivation. Born in Seoul, South Korea, the son of a black American serviceman and a Korean national, he carried more than a chip on his shoulder pads. It was a boulder.
On one biceps, Hines had a tattoo that read "Junior," the name his mother, Young He, gave him. Divorced when Hines was an infant, she sometimes worked three jobs and 16 hours a day to support him growing up in Atlanta.
"I'm a 'Junior,' but she doesn't like my father," Hines once told me, in typically honest terms. "My father and her don't get along, so she doesn't call me by my real name."
On his other biceps, he had his name spelled in Korean, pasted over ... Mickey Mouse?
"I got it when I was in high school," Hines explained. "It's Mickey Mouse playing football, and that's how I play: I'm like a big kid enjoying football."
The classic Hines quote: "I'm not a T.O.," he once said, referring to Terrell Owens. "I just want to win."
How about your favorite Hines moments?
Mine, randomly, would include these:
>> The time he turned an innocent screen into a violent, 14-yard TD against the Bears in 2005. He caught the ball on the 19 and made a defender miss at the 10 before meeting linebacker Lance Briggs in a high-speed collision at the 5. He buried Briggs and spun around, maintained his balance and carried safety Todd Johnson the final five yards before diving across the goal line.
>> The time he played in a Sept. 9 season-opener against New England after undergoing an emergency appendectomy Aug. 23.
>> The time ... well, any number of times against the Baltimore Ravens, the team that once put a bounty on his head.
Hines knew they'd eventually get him back. They did in the 2011 season opener, when Jarret Johnson laid him out.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Steelers let him know it was time. He is finished, at least in Pittsburgh. Sad for sure.
But somewhere inside you have to make room for a smile.
