The best way I can describe Old Joy is like this, at points in our lifetimes, our feelings change, simple feelings that effect the very core of what we are, it's part of our growth and development and sometimes it's not nice. Because it is often unpleasant, it's sometimes preferable that it be whispered in your ear, rather than shoved down your throat. Kelly Reichardt has depicted this perfectly in this short and gentle film. Even when very little is happening, there is always something nice to look at and Daniel London and Will Oldham play their parts with the subtlety and gentleness they require. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to seeing more from Reichardt. I also now believe that every film should have a dog in it.

This film was my first foray into the work of the well-respected Kelly Reichardt. If this film is any indication, I need to be ready for some serious introspection if I choose to go further.
Although this film is very minimalistic, it tackles some pretty serious issues regarding the changing nature of friendships and the alienation that comes with growing old. It is a road picture in which the trip makes for a pretty interesting metaphor. No matter how you think a trip is going to turn out, there will always be some bumps in the road that you did not foresee.
While some may be turned off by its languid pace, it is refreshingly and awkwardly honest. There are long stretches of silence between these characters and when they do converse, it is rather insipid dialogue. To capitalize on the emotional division between these two characters, Reichardt manages to keep these men in the same frame, but they couldn't seem any further apart.
While a hearty dose of melodrama always spices up a good story, sometimes life isn't that way. In fact, silence far outweighs all of the words spoken in the world and it is interesting to see someone capture these moments in such a raw way. Am I eagerly awaiting this film's release on Blu-Ray? Of course not. But it is an honest look at friendship and something that isn't too often captured on film.

[font=Century Gothic]"Old Joy" starts with Mark(Daniel London) enjoying a quiet day off with his very pregnant wife, Tanya(Tanya Smith), when his old friend, Kurt(Will Oldham), calls, asking him if wants to go hiking to a hot springs up in the mountains. Mark agrees and brings his dog with him. But while searching for their destination, they get lost and stop for the night...[/font]
[font=Century Gothic][/font]
[font=Century Gothic]"Old Joy" is a low-key exploration about how the times change and sometimes the people do not change along with them through the friendship of two men. Mark is expecting his first child, the biggest change in his life, soon to be his largest responsibility.(Smaller changes to his life involve the closing of a local used records store and his listening to talk radio which he may not have listened to before.) At the same time, Kurt is considering the job offer of a chef at a resort but otherwise his life still seems rudderless. The movie's main strength is its naturalness, not only in its settings but also its dialogue. [/font]

When Kelly Reichardt hits it, she really hits it with great personal tales and nuanced performances. When she doesn't, you get nuanced boredom. Like Meek's Cutoff, this one falls into the latter category.

Even more minimalistic than Reichardt's follow-up, Wendy & Lucy. Still, it was a satisfying experience.

This movie provides an interesting insight into male relationships but its lack of plot and on-screen events makes it quite disappointing.

"i want us to be real friends again. there's something between us and i don't like it. i want it to go away."

On an entertainment scale, 'Old Joy' is right up there with watching grass grow. In Kelly Reichardt's painfully dull sophomore feature, not much happens. The premise is basically this -- two old friends go on a camping trip and talk about their family, swim, smoke weed and talk about philosophy. One of the friends is a married man, Mark (Daniel London) and the other is a hairy, balding and unquestionably pathetic washed-up hippie by the name of Kurt (Will Oldham).
Techincally speaking, 'Old Joy' is a well-made film. The cinematography is neat, the dialogue although boring is realistic and the acting is solid. Oldham and London are both decent in their roles, and the two have great screen chemistry. But for the average viewer, there is little to like about this inexcusably tedious exercise. The film's gratuitous drawn-out shots of nature gets to be tiresome, annoying and dare I say a bit pretentious. If you enjoy watching grass grow, get ready for the thrill-ride of the decade! Grade: B-

Will Oldham is awesome in one of the greatest buddy movies I have seen. Plus it's kind of a road movie. In the wilderness of Oregon. With Yo La Tengo music.
June 11, 2007
In the Pacific Northwest, two former college roommates, Mark and Kurt, reunite for a weekend trip to a remote and somewhat mystical Oregon hot spring. They were once free thinkers, postmodern hippies always stoned and at one with nature. These days, Mark is at the tipping point of letting that part of himself go forever and settling into a comfy, suburban lifestyle. Kurt hasn't just retained that carefree part of himself; it has defined his life as an unemployed drifter. What other history they share is pure speculation, as, for a quiet 76 minutes, we watch them meet, drive, get drunk, have a meal, finally locate the fabled hot spring, and then return to civilization. The dialogue is spare but filled with pain as these two floundering companions realize how far they've grown apart and attempt to reconnect with a beautiful earth that they may or may not take in as joyfully as they should. Part character study and part meditative nature film, it rewards patience in spades with images and observations that will linger in the mind long, long after the closing credits roll. Super bonus -- Yo La Tengo's gorgeous minimalist score is, like the movie, an invigorating walk in the crisp autumn woods.

Never too brilliant but never too shit either. Its a very boring film but it has something to say about space, time and the mind, which makes it quite watchable. If you are in need of some meditation and couldn't bother heading off to a retreat or a monastary, instead wanting to watch a film then this is ideal.

A chamber piece of a road movie, that performs a minor miracle: We witness two men do very little for a brief running time, let it feels like we've known these characters are whole lives.

This movie is the answer to a question no one asked. Ok I get that it's supposed to be slow moving and reflective, but what it really consists of is holding a handheld camera out the window and showing buildings pass by as they drive to the woods. Or you're looking through the windshield at two yellow lines on the highway. These guys both appear as total losers, and the man-sized toddler (Kurt) stumbles around aimlessly and makes his friend Mark even pay for the pot before they leave! It's assumed that Mark also ends up buying the gas, the beer, and probably breakfast at the little dive the next morning. If the film is supposed to be so scenic and beautiful, why did they end up camping out in a junkyard? The next half of the movie consists of the bobble head with the pink shorts stumbling around in the woods, and the guy with the Volvo and the dog follows along behind him. Finally they end up at some cabin, get naked, and take a bath in separate bathtubs while drinking beer and snoozing. The bobblehead tries to give his friend a backrub, which his friend resists, until he gives up and just lies there letting it happen to get it overwith. Finally they head back home, and we see more scenery as they drive back to the city (at least this time they don't get lost). It ends when the guy with the Volve drops off his friend, he drives away, and the bobblehead gives some homeless guy a dollar. End of movie. THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST BORING MOVIE EVER PRODUCED!

It's like taking a trip with two old friends..... two really boring friends.. One who can't seem to grow up, and the other being the perfect example of why you wouldn't want to.

I like how Reichardt sticks faithfully to her minimalist story and telling. I like the tiny indications that Kurt and Mark were once lovers, but that Mark has a wife and baby on the way; this tininess fits with the movie's minimalism. I appreciated how the men chose go different ways. But this is a story of how a powerless man in love is dumped by a more powerful lover. The strong dominate the weak, as it is always in life. I had hoped for a bit more compassion from art.

It certainly seems that Kurt has more than just feelings of Friendship for Mark - the movie has a constant flow of homoerotic images - and we do not really know what happens in the tent over night - or more importantly when alone at the hot springs. It is very Brokeback-lite set in modern times without any of the sex but still that longing and man crush is there on the part of Kurt at least..... also a beautiful escape to the Pacific Northwest.

Great film, really funny and touching, and these characters are people I felt really connected to, they seem much more like real people than most folk populating the screen. Top that all off with Beautiful cinematography, and I have an instant favourite!

Share the love with our fine feathered friends this Valentine's Day! Thanks to our Kindergarten for sharing the directions and photos for this sweet birdseed valentine.
1. Combine the following ingredients:3/4 cup flour1/2 cup boiling water1 packet unflavored gelatin3 tbs corn syrup
Mix. Then stir in 4 cups of birdseed.
2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lay out your molds.
3. Spray the inside of your molds (we used heart shaped cookie cutters!) with vegetable oil.
4. Fill the molds with the birdseed mixture, poke a straw where you would like a hole to be, and allow to set.
5. Release the birdseed cakes, add a string, and affix to a spot outside for the birds to enjoy!
This recent piece from The New York Times reminds us of the importance of letting our children have experiences that build their resilience and self-confidence.
A salient quote: "Dr. Gray links the astronomical rise in childhood depression and anxiety disorders, which are five to eight times more common than they were in the 1950s, to the decline in free play among young children. 'Young people today are less likely to have a sense of control over their own lives and more likely to feel they are the victims of circumstances, which is predictive of anxiety and depression,' he said."
The Green Meadow Waldorf School robotics club, aptly named the PolyGnomes, won the FIRST Tech Challenge Mid-Hudson Tournament on Saturday, January 10 at Kennedy Catholic High School in Somers, NY. In this year's game, Cascade Effect, students designed and operated a robot that placed plastic balls in various goals on a playing field in a complex game. This season, the PolyGnomes were the only team to go undefeated with a 9-0 record. They also achieved the honors of #1 seed, Captain of the Winning Alliance, and won 3rd place for outstanding robotic design out of 22 teams.
The Green Meadow PolyGnomes were led to victory by students Danny Chang, Brian Frei, Chester Lee, Takama Saeki, and James Yang. The team is coached by Physics and Math teacher James Madsen and Math teacher Lisa Krogh. According to Mr. Madsen, "Even though our robot was only about 80% healthy on Saturday with some control issues, the team compensated with brilliant strategy, outstanding driving, and a versatile engineering design that was able to do secondary tasks in addition to its primary goals. This group, especially the seniors, is highly motivated and tirelessly dedicated. The design is exceedingly innovative and versatile."
The team's next tournament will be on January 25 in Yonkers, then they will move on to play in the Empire Division Regional Tournament at Pace University on February 8.
This article from Psychology Today looks at a 2012 study documenting a continuous decline in creativity among American schoolchildren over the last two or three decades. The research suggests that play and curiosity are foundations for learning. They are also the bedrock of Waldorf Education.

Jordy Nelson WR GB 4 Months
Nelson had two receptions on six targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Patriots.
Nelson slipped free on a crossing route late in the first half, running away from defenders for a 45-yard touchdown. Otherwise, CB Darrelle Revis held him in check. Expect bigger numbers from Nelson next week against a very beatable Falcons' secondary.
Jordy Nelson WR GB 4 Months7 Comments
Nelson caught 4-of-10 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 53-20 win over the Eagles.
Nelson nearly scored on his 64-yard catch in the first half, but got tripped up from behind. He later scored on a gorgeous 27-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and didn't need to do much after halftime, with the Packers in complete control. He's gone over 100 yards or scored a touchdown in seven of 10 games this year, and will look to stay on a roll in Week 12 at Minnesota.
Jordy Nelson WR GB 5 Months
Nelson caught 6-of-6 targets for 152 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 55-14 win over the Bears.
Nelson oddly caught just three passes for 25 yards in the last game, but he made sure not to waste a favorable matchup this time around. He caught two of the long touchdown passes that he's becoming known for, scoring from 73 and 40 yards out on consecutive drives to give the Packers a 28-0 lead before the 12-minute mark of the second quarter. He didn't get any targets in the second half, as the Packers won in a rout for the fourth time in their last six games. While the blowouts have unquestionably been detrimental to Nelson's previously-thriving targets total, a long touchdown (or two) to No. 87 has typically been part of the winning formula. Next week will bring a matchup more favorable for Nelson's volume, as the Eagles are a mostly strong team with a shaky secondary.
Jordy Nelson WR GB 5 Months
Nelson caught 3-of-5 targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 44-23 loss to the Saints.
Nelson surprisingly turned in his worst showing of the season in a favorable matchup, even as Aaron Rodgers piled up 28 completions and 418 passing yards. The Packers have been heavily reliant on Nelson and Randall Cobb in the passing game this season, but it was Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams who saw nine targets apiece in Sunday's game. Still on pace for 100 catches, 1,474 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, Nelson should bounce back in a favorable Week 10 matchup with the Bears, after the Packers enjoy a Week 9 bye.
Jordy Nelson WR GB 5 Months
Nelson had four catches for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
Aaron Rodgers threw Nelson's way just five times, a sharp drop-off from Nelson's 16 targets last week, but the lower number was partially due to the Packers turning away from the pass after building a large lead early in the game (Rodgers finished with just 22 attempts). Nelson is still one the most-targeted receivers in the league and has another great matchup next week at New Orleans.
Jordy Nelson WR GB 6 Months
Nelson had nine catches for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 victory over Miami.
After a very quiet game against Minnesota, Nelson had his name called regularly Sunday afternoon, as Aaron Rodgers dialed his number 16 times, double the targets of the next highest receiver. Nelson will look to continue his fantastic season next week against a Carolina defense that has allowed big games to several opposing receivers.
Jordy Nelson WR GB 6 Months
Nelson caught 1-of-3 targets for a 66-yard touchdown in Thursday's 42-10 win over the Vikings.
No Green Bay player had more than three targets, as Aaron Rodgers attempted just 17 passes before being pulled at the end of the third quarter. Nelson's owners are fortunate to come away from such an odd game with a decent showing, but it's still disappointing compared to what Nelson had previously done this season. The star wide receiver was wide open for his second long touchdown of the year, after burning Pro-Bowl caliber safety Harrison Smith on a double move. Even with the one-catch showing, Nelson has 34 receptions through five games, putting him on pace for 109 this season.
Jordy Nelson WR GB 6 Months2 Comments
Nelson had 10 catches on 12 targets for 108 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Bears.
Nelson has been up-and-down this season, with two games under 85 receiving yards and two games with at least 100 and a touchdown. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed passes to only five different receivers Sunday, with Nelson and Randall Cobb (seven catches on nine targets for 113 yards and two touchdowns) dominating the looks. It's certainly good to see that the two can produce well in the same game, and Nelson will take his league-leading 459 receiving yards into Week 5 against a Vikings team that allowed 298 yards and three touchdowns through the air to the Falcons in Week 4.
Jordy Nelson WR GB 6 Months
Nelson had five catches for 59 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
The Lions were effective in minimizing Nelson's opportunities, as he was targeted just seven times in Week 3 after averaging 15 targets per contest over the first two weeks. Nelson can get open like few receivers in the league, but with the Packers getting minimal contributions from almost everyone else on the offensive side of the ball, expect him to be the focal point for opposing defenses until someone else -- likely Eddie Lacy or Randall Cobb -- steps up.
Jordy Nelson WR GB 6 Months2 Comments
Nelson had nine catches for 209 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.
Nelson's beautiful 80-yard touchdown late in the third quarter essentially won the game, breaking a 24-24 tie. He was surprisingly inefficient, catching just nine of the 16 passes thrown his way, but fantasy owners can't complain with a 200-yard performance.

What determines a Lipo's "C" rating?
I have a set of 6S and 3S 4800mah 25C lipo's that I use in my F-16. Now, at 25C they can run at 120amps supposedly continuously and at 35C "168amp" for 15 secs. With a drain of 3000mah out of the pack at 80amp max draw the packs are pretty darn hot but not swelling at all. My questions are, does the 120 amp discharge rate decrease as the capacity wears down? If I have only 2000mah left in my packs during a flight, can I only run at 50amps continuously without them getting really hot??????
Thanks in advance.

I'll take this opportunity to show everyone, once again, that I should NOT be answering questions about electricity....
My guess is that as the voltage drops in the battery, the motor calls for less current from the battery.
I must love being wrong.... because I so often am... LOL
|Sep 29, 2008, 08:39 PM
Chuck - neither should I! But I think you have it correct in that voltage will drop as the pack capacity is used - thus the amp draw will drop.... but I can only imagine that heating must be less as more is used.
Ah, I see the real question now!
The 25C rate (better stated as "max cont. amp draw") is determined from the full capacity of the pack - whether you have 3000mAh left or 1000mAh left makes no difference to the stated "120A continuous" capability. (it is 4800 x 25 = 120A, not 3000 x 25 or 1000 x 25).
Of course, I am not surprised your packs get hot at 80A since I regard ALL Lipo C ratings with the gravest suspicion.
|Sep 29, 2008, 08:54 PM
The Maximum Continuous Duty rate will give 50 cycles or less (most of the time much less or not even make MCD. The 50 cycles is with premium packs.
As the battery is discharged the temperature rises because of the batteries internal resistance. It will be the hottest at the end of the discharge cycle. To keep them cool(er), the current draw should be reduced or larger mah packs used.
Here's some threads with temp measurements-
|Sep 29, 2008, 10:19 PM
Let me give you what I think the manufactures should use to determine C-Rate.
C rate is the Maximum Continuous Discharge Rate which doesn't cause the battery temperature to rise above 140F.
As you can see from some of the graphs in the referenced threads, some batteries can provide the Rated C discharge and end up under 140F whereas others discharged at their rated C end up at a much higher temperatures. The former are "true" C-rated whereas the latter are "over" C-rated IMO. The latter will provide fewer cycles.
|Sep 30, 2008, 03:51 AM
When drawing maximum continuous current the battery will get progressively hotter, and may eventually go over its rated temperature (usually 60ºC). However, even though bench testing may show the battery exceeding its temperature limit, in most applications its 'C' rating would still be valid because it wouldn't actually be run that hard. The 'over C-rated' problem occurs when you want to draw maximum current right until cutoff, and don't provide sufficient cooling to remove the excess heat.
Better cooling, discharging to less than full capacity, and/or using a little throttle management should keep the end-point temperature down to an acceptable level. I wouldn't want to run a 25C battery at 25C continuously anyway - that's only 2 minutes run time!
|Sep 30, 2008, 07:20 PM
Ok guys I got it. Only problem with my airframe, "Tamjets 1:12th F-16" does not have any way to cool the batteries. Only way would be to cut a hole or slot in the front of the canopy to allow air in. The subsequent hot air would flow through the airframe out the back ring around the exhaust tube which has a lot of lightening holes in the ring. I would also like to point out that I don't nor do I need to fly this airplane at full throttle all the time. I may go to a lower amp motor and more cells at less capacity.
|Sep 30, 2008, 07:26 PM
C rating as in my 2100mah lipo? Or discharge rating? I would think that discharge rating is determined by internal resistance.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
There are lots of I's in 'team'
In today's workplace, career success often depends on being a positive, contributing member of a like-minded group
The idea of employees working in a "team" has been with us since the early 1930s when the so-called Hawthorne experiments found that productivity increased when workers felt supported and involved. It was also during this time period that more attention was paid to the influence of organizational culture and the interaction between supervisors and employees. Over the years, the lessons learned from these early studies have continued to impact our work world to such an extent that "teamwork" is part of everyone's vocabulary. In fact, most organizations today look for reference to teamwork on new candidate resumés.
However, talking about teamwork and actually building effective teams with healthy relationships are two entirely different things. That's because in spite of the fact people know the theory, taking a group of individuals with different skills and perspectives and building it into a cohesive interdependent unit with a common goal and vision is a colossal task.
In addition, while it may take years of hard work on behalf of all participants to reach a high performing stage of teamwork, it only takes one individual with a poor attitude to throw the team off balance. And believe me, when a team is out of balance because of one individual's behaviour, team members can actually physically feel the difference.
Teamwork has become such an essential skill in today's work world that career success depends on it. In other words, each individual must take personal responsibility and be held accountable for contributing to their team. What then are the qualities of an effective team player? The following 12 key team behaviours will be key to your career success:
-- Self awareness -- Effective team players know and understand their personal skills and capabilities and what motivates them and they can put this to good work on the team. They also have strong personal control of their emotions and deal with their stresses rather than directing blame upon others.
-- Positive attitude -- Good team members are always able to look at life from a positive perspective. No problem is too big to tackle. When they see others who are experiencing low self-esteem or low morale, they are effective in pulling their teammates out of the doldrums. They are positive and happy people to be around and create energy for the team.
-- Sense of co-operation -- An effective team player is someone who doesn't think twice about reaching out to help their colleagues. In their mind, there's no such thing as "it's not my job." In spite of the fact they may not agree with someone's perspective, they still work with each other to accomplish the group goal.
-- Proven reliability -- Highly productive teams are made up of individuals who accept responsibility for their role and do what they say they were going to do. You can count on this type of team member to take on their fair share of work and to meet their commitments. Rarely does a supervisor have to follow up or chase after work that is late.
-- Eager communicator -- Individuals who see the value of free-flow communication and sharing information back and forth with their colleagues are seen as valuable contributors to a team. They are typically good listeners who provide honest and timely feedback.
-- Effective problem solvers -- Team members who can quickly move into problem-solving mode rather than complaining about something are much more effective and valued. These individuals are systematic thinkers who help other team members to diagnose issues, brainstorm potential solutions and then recommend alternatives and options.
-- Personal commitment -- Individuals who are visibly committed to their team don't put conditions on their participation. They take personal responsibility, they don't blame others and they provide support to their colleagues as needed. These individuals view their team as one entity and show their commitment through regular attendance at meetings and through consistent personal effort.
-- Caring for people -- This is one of the most important attributes of a good team player. Individuals who care for their colleagues are sensitive to their needs, they show respect and consideration. They reach out to others and show appreciation for the effort put in by everyone.
-- Constructive feedback -- Effective team players will speak up, share their ideas and provide feedback to colleagues that is constructive and helpful. They are skilled at providing objective observations and comments that move the team forward on their goals.
-- Assertive and proactive -- Individuals who take personal responsibility to be assertive and proactive take the bull by the horns and make things happen. They set goals for themselves rather than waiting to be told what to do. They come prepared for meetings and share their thoughts when appropriate. They are upfront with their ideas rather than gossiping behind the back of their team members.
-- Active listener and collaborator -- effective team members have excellent listening skills and can quickly extract the facts from a conversation. They are also very effective at facilitating group discussion and ensuring that everyone's voice is heard while driving the discussion toward consensus.
-- Learning approach -- Individuals who tackle each task and project from a learning perspective take a positive approach to everything they do. They reach out and share and/or they do not hesitate to ask for help. There is absolutely no sense of arrogance in anything they do and they freely engage in two-way communication with their colleagues.
Teamwork is such an important factor in today's workplace that no individual can ignore this critical skillset. In fact, future career success depends on it. As well, if individuals want to progress in their career, their teamwork skills will need to become much more sophisticated. For those who strive to be team leaders, they will need to build their skills around understanding individual motivation, how to influence others and how to build a culture of high performance.
In today's work world, teamwork is seen as a key part of organizational productivity. Yet, teamwork represents so much more than a trendy statement or cliché on a resumé. Teamwork requires the right attitude, plain hard work and consistency on the part of all participants. If you sat down right now and assessed your team, where would you stand?

Flood ready for fly-half battle
ESPNscrum Staff
August 9, 2011
Flood was the number one choice for England during the Six Nations but a resurgent Jonny Wilkinson will be giving him sleepless nights © Getty Images
Toby Flood admits he has a battle on his hands to convince both England boss and supporters alike that he should be charged with the fly-half berth going into the World Cup.
And Flood will set out on Saturday, in England's second warm-up international against Wales, to prove to manager Martin Johnson he deserves that precious 10 jersey. The Leicester fly-half has been England's first choice since replacing people's favourite Wilkinson at the end of the 2010 Six Nations.
But Wilkinson made an impressive pitch to reclaim the role with a man-of-the-match performance against Wales in last weekend's 23-19 victory. Flood will get his opportunity to respond in the return match at the Millennium Stadium this weekend - but admits he will be on trial for his World Cup place.
"I don't think I've ever been in charge of that 10 shirt," said Flood. "It has always been hugely difficult for me to have it. The scenario has always been that Jonny, given his opportunity, will have a standout game and he did that.
"To me it is nothing new and I have just got to shrug my shoulders and get on with it. The nice things is there is a guy who is driving you hard. Whenever you play for England you are always on trial. You have got the responsibility of playing for your country. It is always a high pressure game so nothing really changes.
"The guys have played well and the team have won a game. There is a massive responsibility on us to make it two from two this weekend."
Flood was Wilkinson's protege during their days at Newcastle but broke out of his shadow once and for all over the last 18 months, playing an influential role in England's resurgence. Wilkinson was dropped after England's bore draw against Scotland at Murrayfield. Since then, Flood has helped them beat Australia twice and rise to fourth in the world.
But Wilkinson will forever be the hero at Twickenham and England fans still reserve their biggest ovation for the man whose drop-goal won the 2003 World Cup final. "It is the history he's had playing for England. He has been a stalwart of the England side for a long time, and someone people respond to really well," said Flood.
"There will be 58 million people in England who probably think I shouldn't be in charge of it (the fly-half position).
"All I can do is concentrate on playing as well as I can every time I have a chance. I know he's around but it is the same for everyone in the squad, there is competition in all position."
England will learn on Tuesday the results of Lewis Moody's knee scan but Johnson is confident the injury he suffered at Twickenham will not rule him out of the World Cup.

West Allis rallies call to mind Stingley's untimely death
Youth died following shoplifting incident locally in December
West Allis — With an ongoing John Doe probe lingering as a backdrop, Corey Stingley was remembered by his Nathan Hale High School football teammates as well as family members, friends and supporters at a rally calling attention to his death.
Stingley, 16, a junior running back on the team last season, sustained brain damage after he was restrained by three customers during an alleged shoplifting incident Dec. 14, 2012, at VJ's Food Mart, 9206 W. Schlinger Ave. He subsequently died Dec. 29.
The three men involved were arrested and referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office, but no charges have been filed to date. The John Doe proceeding started two weeks ago.
The rally on Monday started at Hale, where Corey's father, Craig Stingley, spoke to a crowd of roughly 100 supporters, and then shifted to the West Allis Police Station next door.
"They conducted themselves in a peaceful and orderly manner," said Police Chief Charles Padgett.
A similar rally had been held in front of VJ's Food Mart on July 1.
A third rally is scheduled for July 25 starting at the West Allis Police Department and moving to VJ's Food Mart.

The Giants' top pitching prospect posted career bests with 12 strikeouts over seven innings as Class A Advanced San Jose blanked the Stockton Ports, 2-0.
It was the Minor League-leading ninth shutout in 50 games for the two-time defending California League champions.
Wheeler (4-2) had surrendered seven earned runs over his previous 9 2/3 innings. But he turned things around and helped the Giants extend their winning streak to 10 games.
The sixth overall pick in the 2009 Draft worked with runners on base in five of seven innings, but he also retired nine straight batters at one point, typically leaning on the strikeout.
Wheeler ranks third in the league with 62 punchouts over 48 2/3 innings. His best previous performance was six innings of two-hit ball on May 18, 2010, when he struck out seven for Class A Augusta.
Jake Dunning and Ari Ronick worked the final two innings, with Ronick earning his first career save.
Chris Dominguez singled in a run and Tommy Joseph plated the other with a sacrifice fly as the Giants opened an eight-game lead over second-place Stockton in the North Division.

I have a KFHD 7" happily running under Hashcode's CM10.0. I'd like to update to kitkat.
For that, it seems I need to upgrade my recovery from TWRP 2.4 to 2.7. ( If the rom should install under TWRP 2.4, let me know, cause I got an error when I tried. )
So, after messing a bit with my drivers, I got ADB to work fine.
However, I need fastboot to update recovery. My Kindle can go into fastboot, no problem.
But windows just won't recognise it. "Fastboot devices" always show no devices connected.
I tried with various drivers ( including those from QEMU thread ) on 2 differents computers.
So I'm starting to wonder if there is something I missed in the virious threads. Is there something I should know that would prevent me from seing the device under fastboot but not ADB ?

Disclaimer: I do not own my new obsession that is Boardwalk Empire. I wished it did, but I'm not as creative to think of a show like that. Please do not sue.
Her second trip to Brooklyn was nothing short of disastrous. She knew she had done things in the past- and the present- that she was not and should not be proud of but that did not give he brother the right treat her as if...as if she was not a part of his family, as if she did not exist. He did not have to give her back the money; she wanted him to keep it- for him, for her sisters. In a way, it would be her way of apologizing for acting so selfishly. He did not have the right to judge her; he did not know what hell she had been through; he did not know how much Nucky saved her. He had no right to keep her from her family; she was only trying to help them; apologize for the pain she put them through.
Margaret frowned to herself as the cab pulled up to her house. There was no point, she concluded while wiping away the last of her tears from her eyes, crying over her brother's judgmental views. She muttered a 'thank you' to the cab driver, opened the door and got out of the car. The cab driver did the same, opened the trunk and walked the domestic partner of the infamous Nucky Thompson to the door.
"Thank you," Margaret whispered to the cab driver, before taking her bag and giving him a tip. The man nodded and left her herself. She stood at the doorway, slightly confused. It was quiet; extremely quiet. She would normally hear the voices of her children and her maids. She glanced around the house, "Katy!" she called out, "Lillian!"
No one.
This was odd.
Margaret was stunned, no, horrified when one of the last people she wanted to see emerged from one of the backrooms, washed his hands and continued to walk in her direction. She straightened herself, narrowing he eyes at the man. Why was he, of all people, here?
She raised an eyebrow when he stopped.
Owen Slater.
Why couldn't he just go away?
Her eyes roamed over his body, from the crotch up- of course while trying to be as subtle as possible. The last thing she needed was for Owen to know that she craved him. She could not explain this attraction to him; he was on the wrong side of the law. He had a habit of invading too much of her personal space when he was supposed to be focusing his attention on Katy. Maybe she felt connected because he was like her in so many ways? From the same country? The same background? She wasn't sure but frankly, she did not want to be sure. The sooner Nucky got rid of Owen, the easier her life would be.
"Hello," Margaret shortly responded, her eyes looking up and down Owen's stature for the second time. It was coming back again- she had confessed to the priest that she wanted Owen in a physical, sexual way- of course, she did not drop his name; he did not need to know the details. She could not help it; he was attractive.
And dangerous.
"How's the great metropolis?"
"Good... humid."
"Need help with that?"
Margaret let out a breath that she was not even aware she was holding. Her anxiety was starting to get to her. It would be her luck that Owen would be the only person in the house besides her, "I am fine. Thank you."
She could see the slight annoyance on Owen's face. She knew she was being stubborn but that was only for her own good. She flinched a bit when he continued walking towards her.
"Oh don't be daft."
"Alright then," there was no point on arguing over a bag. Without saying thank you, she gave Owen one last look before walking further into the home, towards the staircase, with Owen following her close by, "Where are the children?"
"The girls took them to the beach."
"That's hardly their job..." Margaret responded harsher than intended- but did not want Owen to know how much he was affecting her.
"Mr. Thompson gave them a day off."
Margaret sighed. Of course he did. Speaking of Nucky... she turned around, slightly glaring at the man in front of her. He had that infuriating look in his eyes. He was supposed to be Nucky's body guard- he was supposed to be with him and definitely not here, she thought to herself. She did not trust herself when she was around him and she definitely didn't when they were alone, "Why aren't you with him?"
Owen paused for a moment before replying, "Had to handle some business."
Margaret wanted to snort. Excuses, excuses, "Shouldn't you make an effort to him?"
"Where to put your bag?'
Great, he was changing the subject. She would deal with that at a later time, "At the foot of the stairs."
Owen nodded and proceeded to do so. There was an awkward silence; something that seemed to be a trend as fat as they were concerned.
She stopped when Owen faced her again. He looked a bit troubled, worried even. Margaret was tempted to ask if there was something wrong but he beat her to it.
"Have you ever found it odd?"
Margaret stared at him with slight confusion. She stared into his eyes, trying to read his thoughts before he could convey them. She had to be on top of things when Owen was concerned, "In this house?"
"In this country."
She bit her lip, "How do you mean?"
"Everything is off. The air. The water. The people... and yourself. You're off too. Bit by bit. And you think: if I vanish now, who'd care? Or even notice?"
"Is that how you feel?"
She vaguely listened to Owen's answer. She knew how he felt. Coming to America was not an easy feat as an immigrant. She couldn't count how many times people ridicule her accent and her religion...However, she moved on.
"...and life...passing by..."
She raised an eyebrow and started walking up the stairs, "Then you should be on the beach with Katy," that seemed to finally keep Owen's mouth shut but she had a feeling that he was not finished.
He let out a deep breath, "Thought you wanted me after Mr. Thompson."
She should have see that reply coming. She did not think she was that obvious. She had not shown any reason to suspect that she was attracted to him. She slightly frowned; she wanted to drive him away as best as she could, "In either case you needn't be here."
"I'll go if you tell me."
She remained quiet for a moment. This was definitely not the type of conversation she wanted to have right now. But... maybe she could take advantage of this, "Are mine to command?"
"If you like."
She looked down at the Irishman with intrigue and slight confusion. She noticed the slight glint in his eyes. He could not be serious, couldn't he? She had no words; whether it was because she honestly did not know how to respond or because she would fear any words she wanted to say- she wasn't sure. But she did know what the man at the bottom of the stairs would, no- wanted to be commanded. Her conscious was being replaced by something more sinister. She knew and could feel God's disapproval.
"You can bring my bag up."
She wanted to smirked at Owen's slightly shocked expression but she refrained herself from doing so. Instead, she one last week before walking towards her room. She could hear Owen realizing a deep breath and ascending up the stairs. Her hear beating furiously; her hands were becoming clammy. She cursed herself for asking Owen than question; she cursed herself for lusting for him but she could not resist him. Yes, he was having some sort of relationship with Katy. Yes, she should not be craving for him when she was with someone who had shown her nothing but generosity.
She opened the door to her bedroom and walked it. She removed her coat and place it neatly on the bed.
Her eyes followed the Irishman as she slowly walked into the room. When their eyes locked, she quickly turned her attention back to the mirror, "Put it on the bench."
She tried to ignore the fact that Owen was watching her removing her bracelets and taking off her earrings.
"You're the cool one misses?"
"No I'm not," she replied. She was no where near cool. She was a woman with needs, unfortunately. She began to unravel her hair, "I'm not how you see me at all."
for the first time, in a long time, she had found a way to silence Owen. She saw him staring at her in awe through the mirror, gulping as she let her hair down.
She let out a deep sigh, turned around and approached the object of her sexual desires- a desire, mind you, that was going to be a one time thing. When this was over, she would never think of him in such a way ever again, "When we are done, you will leave and not speak a word about it. Ever."
Her stomach did back flips when Owen smirked down at her and gave a nonchalant shrug. She really wished he did not look at her in such a way. It made her temporary forget that she contemplating in committing a sin.
"Well, it's all between strangers."
She did not respond as she was pulled into a kiss.
It did not matter if it was a stranger or not. It was a sin. A sin that Margaret was more than willing to commit.
This is a repost from a few months ago. I did not proof read it as well as I should, so I decided to reedit it. I'm normally not the one to make one shots so I decided to give it a try. his was one of my favorite scenes in season two and I don't even ship Owen and Margaret that much. I hope you all enjoyed it! Please send me your thoughts :)

Superb location and well worth the stay. We loved the balcony overlooking the bay. Rooms a little shabby but we couldn't understand why more people weren't staying there. The restaurant closes at 7 pm which is a bit early for us but we found a local bar selling beer and rum and coke. There was some confusion as to our booking via hostelworld included breakfast or not so I would advise people to check on this when they book or when they arrive.

The All India Milli Council launched a special one-week training programme for school and madrasa teachers here on Wednesday to equip them with the latest trends in education and apprise them of new pedagogical techniques for effective teaching.
Rajasthan Education Minister Bhanwarlal Meghwal, inaugurating the programme at Rehmani Model Senior Secondary School here, said the State Government was committed to promoting educational standards among the minority communities. He said scholarships and education loans had been introduced to serve the purpose.
Newly elected Rajya Sabha Member Ashq Ali Tak, State Health Minister Aimaduddin Ahmed Khan and Milli Council's State secretary Abdul Qayoom Akhtar were among those present on the occasion.
Mr. Meghwal said a new education loan for vocational and technical streams with only 3 per cent annual interest rate would immensely benefit students of minority communities. This will be in addition to the scholarships released at various levels by the Union Government.
Calling upon the Muslim community to get the "maximum benefits of the State Government's welfare measures", the Minister said 14 Kasturba Gandhi residential schools had been established for minority girls, 730 computers had been supplied to madrasas and textbooks of Class 1 to 8 had been distributed free of cost to students.
About 100 teachers of madrasas and upper primary and secondary schools in Jaipur city are taking part in the training programme divided into two batches. Mr. Akhtar said experts had been invited to impart training in the techniques for teaching modern subjects and evolving new methodologies for religious curriculum.
While Health Minister Mr. Khan called for an active support of social activists and NGOs for extending the benefits of the Union Government's schemes worth Rs.2,600 crores this year to minorities, Mr. Tak promised his backing for all initiatives to promote education among children in the State.
Rajasthan Madrasa Board Secretary Saud Akhtar provided details of the Board's work for modernisation of education in madrasas across the State. Mr. Meghwal also distributed cheques of scholarships to meritorious girls.

I keep apps and OS up and running for weeks\months at a time - I would not get notifications in that case.... Best time to do it is when the user is there.
I hate jumping on a server to open Firefox to look at something and I have to wait on Firefox to "finish" it's damn update.
Why do applications and operating systems insist on warning you about updates at the least convenient time???The best time for a notification about new updates should be upon closing the application or before shutting down the OS, not while you're in the midst of doing something!!!Windows, Firefox, Foxit Reader, etc... they're all guilty of this.

I believe you can still go into the settings of Firefox and uncheck the box for automatic updates.

Seth Meyers opened his first Late Night with a tribute to his predecessor Jimmy Fallon, now host of The Tonight Show.
As Myers sat with pen in hand and a thank you card on his brand-new desk, the familiar piano tune of Fallon's signature "Thank You Notes" segment started to play.
STORY: Inside Seth Meyers' 'Late Night' Debut
"Thank you, Jimmy Fallon, for taking over The Tonight Show at 11:30 so I could take over Late Night at 12:30. I promise to treat it with respect and dignity, and to only use it to do completely original comedy pieces..." Meyers said, his voice trailing off. "Starting now."
Since Fallon began his Tonight Show run Feb. 17, he has carried over several of his Late Night greatest hits, including the fan-favorite "Thank You Notes," which were featured on the Feb. 21 show.

Beck has been a stooge for Israel for the last 2 years.

He's also an Arab-hater of the highest order.
Plus - Beck advertises Goldline to get people to buy their gold online so there will be a paper trail right to them.
So when (not if) they confiscate the gold again, the idiot fools who listen to this rat will be caught dead-to-rights.
What an absolute Neo-Con, A-Hole Glenn Beck is.
A traitor to the United States if ever there was one.
