On May 1, the Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association gave the honor of the Best Decorated Sailboat to Jabberwock, owned by David Hand, rear commodore of Alameda's Island Yacht Club — for "Humphrey Returns."
"Our club works really hard every year on our parade boat, and this year was no exception!" said IYC Commodore Dave Block. "We're pleased and proud to have won first place in our division this year."
The crew that designed and worked on the boat included project manager Thom Mantooth, designer/builder Glen Krawiec, Nancy Hird, Speranza Avram and Commodore Bloch.
"A huge thanks go out to all who worked on building (and dismantling) Humphrey," said members of the Island Yacht Club. "Besides the folks above, major kudos and thanks to Sandra Paz, our artist-in-residence who painted the whale on the large carpet remnants provided by Glen. David Shea was on hand much of Saturday helping to hoist the pieces of Humphrey aboard the boat, John New unexpectedly returned from the Vallejo trip and put his back into the task as well."
(The mounting of this huge "whale sail" was made much more difficult by the 15-plus knot winds blowing broadside across Jabberwock as Glen went up the ladder and IYC members hoisted and held the pieces, and the ladder, in place.)
In 1985, Humphrey, a humpback whale traveled up the Sacramento River and swam into a slough in Rio Vista. He went back to sea after 25 days.
In the fall of 1990, Humphrey turned up again inside the Bay near the Bayshore Freeway. He beached himself on mud flats near Double Rock, near the Candlestick parking lot — where he remained stuck for 25 hours. Volunteers and members of the Coast Guard boat were able to set him free.

"Xfinity" is the brand for Comcast's technology platform, products and services. All of the services that residents receive from Comcast have been enhanced and are called Xfinity. Xfinity offers Comcast customers more high-definition channels, greater speed, and more choices. Xfinity is made possible by Comcast's network upgrade to an all-digital platform. While Comcast's services have been enhanced and the service name has been changed, the company name remains Comcast.
The terms of the new Franchise agreement is five years with provisions for two more five year extensions.
The City has received several subscriber complaints about the migration of channels from the basic tier to the digital only tier. Unfortunately, local franchise authorities, (i.e., cities), are prohibited by federal law from dictating programming and channel lineups to cable companies. The issue of cable companies moving channels to higher numbers is being reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission.
Federal law allows local franchise authorities to regulate the price of limited basic services only. The portion local franchise can regulate are based on a FCC formula. Unfortunately, the cost and tiers of service are not under the control of the local franchise authorities.

Fender Pawn Shop Mustang Bass
A short-scale bass workhorse
Fender's much-loved short-scale Mustang bass design retains plenty of its original DNA in the new Pawn Shop version.
"This may be a fairly simple upgrade, but it's an absolute masterstroke"
The Pawn Shop Mustang Bass has a separate chromed control plate, large baseplate on the bridge, black finger rest and a custom 'competition' stripe. This is now referred to as a 'racing' stripe but, whatever you call it, in Lake Placid Blue, it looks cool.
The Mustang bass has always benefited from having strings that pass through the body, as here, but now the original mini split-coil pickup has been replaced with a substantial-looking humbucker.
The pearloid scratchplate is another traditional feature; collectively, it makes for a busy appearance, especially for such a small-bodied instrument, yet it somehow still manages to work.
The humbucker upgrade has made a phenomenal difference to the sound of this Mustang. The original downsized split-coil always looked and sounded a bit dull compared with this larger and more dynamic version.
Back off the volume a tad and we get pretty close to the original sound (although it's distinctly brighter), but wind her up and this baby starts to get nasty in a most pleasing manner. Growl is now on the menu, as well as fuller and warmer sounds that aren't usually associated with a Mustang.
It's a good call: the Mustang should now appeal to a much wider selection of players. This may be a fairly simple upgrade, but it's an absolute masterstroke.

New beefy sounds. Cool traditional looks.
Short scale might be flimsy for hardened players.
A worthwhile Pawn Shop variation on the original design, with a far more powerful sound.

If the 34-year old Bisping retired today, he could do so with his head held high knowing that he gave his best inside the Octagon. However, if he did hang up his four-ounce gloves without taking another fight, he would do so with one regret, "Anderson Silva is going to go down as one of the greatest fighters that ever lived.," Bisping recently said. "He's going to be like a Muhammad Ali. He's going to be a legend, simple as that. To be competing alongside Anderson Silva for so long, and not get to fight him would be tragic."
On three occasions Bisping was one win away from fighting Silva, but he came up on the losing end of those fights, getting knocked out by Dan Henderson and Vitor Belfort and dropping a decision to Chael Sonnen. All three of those losses came while Silva held the UFC middleweight title.
There's still a chance that the two fighters will cross paths, but the window of opportunity is closing for that fight. If Bisping and Silva never meet, it will be something that Bisping will seemingly lament for the rest of his days, "I don't want to be an old man talking about the UFC saying I never got to fight Anderson."

Spoiler Alert: A Downton Abbey Wedding (Get The Look For Your Wedding!)
Monique LhuillierChannel your inner-Lady Mary with this chic lace sheath. With a romantic over-sized, shear peplum overskirt it's understated and elegant. Keep accessories minimal, but a statement piece of jewelry or headpiece is definitely the way to go.
Lela RoseThis lovely mermaid has vintage details of hand embroidered flowers and a sweet sleeveless, illusion neckline that provides a modern interpretation of the Downton Abbey ladies. Explore your options here: a jeweled headpiece, 1920s birdcage, or chapel veil would each be gorgeous.
Jenny PackhamThese dainty flutter sleeves are to die for. Another modernized version of Lady Mary's vintage gown, this Jenny Packham features an embellished waist sash and beaded details all over. A side-swept, messy bun with beaded headband is such a sweet wedding-day look for this modestly structured gown.
MarchesaMarchesa's sheer bateau neckline pairs perfectly with a subtle lace peplum at the waist making this slim gown an ideal pick for any 1920s-inspired wedding. Paired with a vintage headpiece, you can have your Downton Abbey wedding.
CybelineA lace bolero can be the ultimate accessory in terms of a vintage look and also keeps you covered during the ceremony. Once removed, you've got a totally new look for your reception!
Temperley LondonFor anyone who is as in love with lace as we are, this gorgeous sheath has a slight flare at the bottom and is perfect for any vintage affair.
While Season 3 of Downton Abbey premiered on Sunday, September 16, in the United Kingdom, we have to wait until January 2013 for it to cross the pond. However, we couldn't help ourselves… We had to get a peek at the lavish and much-anticipated wedding of Lady Mary and Matthew Crawley!
In a demur shift dress that floated down the infamous staircase, Lady Mary's wedding-day look was completed with an antique embroidered chapel train veil and an heirloom tiara designed by royal jewelers Bentley & Skinner. Downton's Emmy award-winnning design team has outdone themselves.
The high society, 1920s glamour has us dreaming of old-English weddings. Here are some of our picks from the runways if you love this look as much as we do! Do you have a favorite?

Sally's frustration and anxiety are shared by an estimated two million Americans, mostly women, who suffer from this disease. Typically, the onset of the disease in adults occurs between the ages of 40 and 60. While rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis, people, like Sally, are often perplexed about the causes and treatment of the disease. Features of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function in the joints. It generally occurs in a symmetrical pattern; that is, if the right wrist joint is affected, the left wrist joint is also usually affected. The disease typically affects the wrist joints and finger joints closest to the hand. But other joints can be affected as well, including joints of the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles and feet.
For some people, RA may last only a few months or a year or two before it goes completely away. Other people experience intermittent bouts of the disease, called flares, followed by periods in which they feel fine, called remissions. Still others have a severe form of disease that is active most of the time. This form of RA can lead to serious joint damage and disability. What Causes Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis is an "autoimmune" disease, which means that a person's immune system attacks his or her own body tissues. While scientists still do not know for sure what causes this disease, there are a few factors that may play a role. For example, certain genes are associated with RA. However, while some people with those genes get RA, others do not. Consequently, researchers believe that a second factor may be environmental. An infectious agent such as a virus or bacterium may trigger the disease, but the exact agent is not known. Finally, hormonal factors may be involved. Changes or deficiencies in certain hormones may play a role in the development of the disease. Diagnosis
Rheumatoid arthritis can be difficult to diagnose in its early stages, particularly since the symptoms can be similar to those of other types of arthritis and joint conditions. Furthermore, the full range of symptoms develops over time, and only a few symptoms may be present in the early stages. Consequently, in diagnosing the disease, your doctor will consider your description of symptoms, how they began and how they have changed over time. Your doctor will also conduct a physical examination of your joints, reflexes and muscle strength. In some instances, he or she may also order a variety of tests, including a rheumatoid factor test—a test for an antibody that is eventually present in the blood of most rheumatoid arthritis patients. Treatment
Generally speaking, there are three types of treatment for RA:
Rest and Exercise. When RA is active, it is important for a patient to get adequate rest, which helps reduce joint inflammation. Likewise, when the disease is not active, exercise can help maintain healthy and strong muscles and increase joint mobility and flexibility. It's important, however, to discuss any exercise program with your doctor first.
Medications. Initially, your doctor may suggest aspirin or similar drugs to ease the pain of RA. Other drugs can help reduce inflammation. Another type of drug is called disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, or DMARDs. This drug is used to try to slow the course of the disease.
Surgery. When damage to the joint is severe, your doctor may recommend one of several different types of surgery, including joint replacement or tendon reconstruction. The primary purpose of these procedures is to reduce pain, improve the affected joint's function and improve the patient's ability to perform daily activities. Hope for the Future
Scientists are searching for new drugs or combinations of drugs that can reduce inflammation or can slow or stop the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. In the meantime, however, studies have also shown that people who are well-informed and participate actively in their own care experience less pain and make fewer visits to the doctor than do other people with rheumatoid arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation (www.arthritis.org) offers a self-help course, which teaches about RA and its treatment. Taking such a course helps people like Sally Morgan feel in greater control over their disease and lead a full and more active life, while managing their disease.

The historian and philosopher of urbanism Jane Jacobs remarked in interview with Stewart Brand that with the Fall of Rome city dwellers re-inhabited the rural areas of the region.
"Awareness of the past is an important element in the love of place," writes Yi-Fu Tuan, in his 1994 book Topophilia. Tuan writes that an appreciation of nature springs from wealth, privilege, and the antithetical values of cities. He argues that literature about land (and, subsequently, about going back to the land) is largely sentimental; "little," he writes, "is known about farmer's [sic] attitudes towards nature..." Tuan finds historical instances of the desire of the civilized to escape civilization in the Hellenistic, Roman, Augustan, and Romantic eras, and, from one of the earliest recorded myths, the Epic of Gilgamesh.
There was again a fair degree of interest in moving to rural land after World War II. In 1947 Betty MacDonald published what became a popular book, The Egg and I, telling her story of marrying and then moving to a small farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. This story was the basis of a successful comedy film starring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray.
The Canadian writer Farley Mowat says that many returned veterans after World War II sought a meaningful life far from the ignobility of modern warfare, regarding his own experience as typical of the pattern. In Canada, those who sought a life completely outside of the cities, suburbs, and towns frequently moved into semi-wilderness environs.
But what made the later phenomenon of the '60s and '70s especially significant was that the rural-relocation trend was sizable enough that it was identified in the American demographic statistics.
Roots of this movement can perhaps be traced to the 1954 publication of Helen and Scott Nearing's book, Living the Good Life. The book chronicled the Nearings' move to an older house in a rural area of Vermont and their simple, self-sufficient lifestyle. In their initial move, the Nearings were driven by the circumstances of the Great Depression and influenced by earlier writers, particularly Henry David Thoreau. Their book was published six years after A Sand County Almanac, by the ecologist and environmental activist Aldo Leopold, was published, in 1948. Influences aside, the Nearings had planned and worked hard, developing their homestead and life according to a twelve-point plan they had drafted.
By the late '60s, many people had recognized that, living their city or suburban lives, they completely lacked any familiarity with such basics of life as food sources (for instance, what a potato plant looks like, or the act of milking a cow) — and they felt out of touch with nature, in general. While the back-to-the-land movement was not strictly part of the counterculture of the 1960s, the two movements had some overlap in participation.
Many people were attracted to getting more in touch with the basics just mentioned, but the movement was also fueled by the "negatives" of modern life: rampant consumerism, the failings of government and society, including the Vietnam War, and a perceived general urban deterioration, including a growing public concern about air and water pollution. Events such as the Watergate scandal and the 1973 energy crisis contributed to these views. Some people rejected the struggle or boredom of "moving up the company ladder." Paralleling the desire for reconnection with nature was a desire to reconnect with physical work.
There was also a segment within the movement who already had a familiarity with rural life and farming, who already had skills, and who wanted land of their own on which they could demonstrate that organic farming could be made practical and economically successful.
Besides the Nearings and other authors writing later along similar lines, another influence from the world of American publishing was the unprecedented, vigorous, and intelligent Whole Earth Catalogs. Stewart Brand and a circle of friends and family began the effort in 1968, because Brand believed that there was a groundswell of biologists, designers, engineers, sociologists, organic farmers, and social experimenters who wished to transform civilization along lines that might be called "sustainable." Brand and cohorts created a catalog of "tools" - defined broadly to include useful books, design aids, maps, gardening implements, carpentry and masonry tools, metalworking equipment, and a great deal more.
Another important publication was The Mother Earth News, a periodical (originally on newsprint) that was founded a couple years after the Catalog. Ultimately gaining a large circulation, the magazine was focused on how-to articles, personal stories of successful and budding homesteaders, interviews with key thinkers, and the like. The magazine stated its philosophy was based on returning to people a greater measure of control of their own lives.
Many of the North American back-to-the-landers of the 1960s and 1970s made use of the Mother Earth News, the Whole Earth Catalogs and derivative publications. But as time went on, the movement itself drew more people into it, more or less independently of impetus from the publishing world.
Most of the back-to-the-landers wanted greater contact with nature, and sought to become self-employed workers in a cottage industry. Many wished to build their own house, and produce a good deal of their own food. Solar energy was sometimes used for either heat or electricity, and wood fuel was popular. Most back-to-the-landers wanted to know their neighbors, and expected to be cooperatively part of neighborhood or community projects and processes.
Helen and Scott Nearing, in their life and their books, had embraced organic horticulture and had pursued a healthy diet and general lifestyle. To these interests, the back-to-the-land publications which had sprung up around 1970 added a promotion of new (or at least recently refined) methods of utilizing or generating energy on a modern homestead, such as solar, wind, and small-hydro electricity generation. Worldwide, there had been a very lengthy utilization of wind energy in villages and rural regions, and in fact many farms in North America had employed windmills to drive well pumps for household and irrigation water. In the 1970s, though, electricity-generating wind turbines (which had been developed to an extent in previous decades) were reaching new levels of efficiency. As well, passive solar principles were becoming more widely recognized for their efficacy in space heating (e.g., of houses or outbuildings), and photovoltaic equipment for generating electricity was emerging and was seen to be an exciting new realm.
With regard to community processes, a common practice was the incorporation of barter, a form of trade where goods or services from one individual or household are exchanged for a certain amount of other goods or services from another individual or household, and in which no money is involved in the transaction. The idea was that barter (along with occasional friendly neighborly assistance) helped to reduce the need for cash income.
Those who succeeded were realistic about their financial needs. Many had flexible occupations - like writing and other creative work, or a trade - that they could engage in from their home. Others had steady, if less glamorous, jobs in a nearby town. Those who succeeded were people who could readily acquire skills in gardening or crop farming, the construction and maintenance of buildings, machinery maintenance, water-system development and maintenance, and the like. Also, they had chosen a homestead that was comfortable and practical.
There is no well-defined event that can be used to mark the end of the era. A factor that came into play was the increased cost of rural land parcels; at the start of the back-to-the-land trend, previously low demand for rural properties in many areas meant that they fetched low prices in the real estate market, but this changed after some years of increased buyer interest. Also, rising urban prosperity, and a sense that the earlier social problems were solved led to reduced interest in rural lifestyles among urbanites in the 1980s.
Interestingly, a good deal of research that could be of value to modern-day homesteaders was carried on into the 1980s and after. Agricultural colleges and departments within universities, as well as independent teams of designers, engineers, agronomists, and technologists researched and devised many refinements and new approaches to food production, on-site energy production, waste management, home design, and other dimensions of living well and reasonably self-sufficiently on the land. For instance, a group of engineering graduates from Stanford University published a thick compendium of findings and advice in the early '80s.
As it stands, people still purchase rural properties that come onto the real-estate market, and in many areas of North America these purchases are not limited to those by corporate farms. And clearly, there is migration in both directions: to the cities, and to the rural areas. In the 1990s, the term "urban refugees" began to gain currency in relation to back-to-the-landers. A Web search on the term "back to the land" brings up very many hits that indicate a still-strong interest in non-urban living.
Organic horticulture and organic agriculture were integral aspects of the back-to-the-land movement of the 1970s. But it is in more-recent years that the American market for organically grown foods has really expanded. Growing markets obviously tend to create business opportunities. According to information presented in Deborah Koons Garcia's film The Future of Food, American consumers spent $1 billion on organically grown food in 1994, and $13 billion in 2003.
Regarding another possible strong trend in the future, it is possible that social or economic conditions, coupled with the new technical capabilities, will result in waves of emigration from the cities and immigration to the rural regions. The worldwide ecovillage movement, while not yet of a scale to be called a "wave," has both urban and rural components that aim at building sustainable village cultures. This global network, along with systematic approaches to ecologically more sensitive design, such as permaculture, have evolved out of the back-to-the-land movement. There are those who see these phenomena as interlinked parts of an agrarian revolution that only began with the back-to-the-land movement of the 1960s & '70s.

You begin to see where it creeps in.

The book that won't go away....
Independant People by Halldor Laxness. Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955.
I brought it only because of the prize. I SLOGGED through it (and I never read books that make me SLOG even "classics") but something kept me reading.. it was torture. I hated it. Page after boring page of men talking about the diseases of sheep and nothing else. I still hated it 100 pages in... it was slow, boring, pedantic, horrible... then something shifted in my brain and I was there. On an Icelandic croft pre World War 2, although it could have been 600 years before,with a handful of worm infested mangy sheep in waist deep snow in the most god forsaken landscape imaginable, following the grinding daily misery of a heartless, cruel man, Bjartur who's only aim in life is to keep this handful of sheep alive at the expense of the lives of his suffering family. As long as the sheep lived, they could die.
Laxness is famous for making you see the soul and virtues, if only a glimmer, of a souless person.
Into this book about sheep (and thats what it is ) is thrown a mix of fear for the local ancient gods and mythology that even though Bjartur refuses to acknowlege, weighs heavily in his life. And its a love story... a cruel, twisted, story of love that is so wrong, and so full of hate and retribution.
When I finished the book I immediately started it again.. and realised the pages and pages of the men talking about sheep diseases had another four, five layers to them. Everytime I read it I see more and more and more. It stays on my bedside table. Has done for years.
Its not a feelgood book. Its a hard book to recommend. I don't agree whatsoever with Bjartur's views or how he treats people or himself. I don't understand how the people around him stay (apart from necessity) or bear thier existence. But this book is in every cell of my being. It lives with me. I wish it didn't sometimes... it didn't so much as "change" my life as become part of it.
Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_People
and also reading Hans Laxness' biographical notes certainy proves his writing.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - David Jimenez was so elated over his wife's recovery from cancer that he offered to clean the large crucifix outside the Hudson Valley church where he spent many hours praying for her to beat the disease. On Memorial Day 2010, he was scrubbing grime off the cross when the 600-pound marble statuary toppled over, crushing his right leg.
The then-43-year-old immigrant from Mexico was flown to Westchester Medical Center, where doctors had to amputate his injured leg. He's suing the Roman Catholic church where he was hurt, and early next year his $3 million lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial.
"He attributed her recovery to his devotion to the cross and Christ hearing his prayers," Jimenez's lawyer, Kevin Kitson of White Plains, told The Associated Press.
Kitson said he filed the lawsuit in March 2011 after the church denied it was liable for the accident that resulted in six-figure medical bills for Jimenez. The bills were paid by charitable foundations, Kitson said.
The lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in state Supreme Court in Orange County in January, Kitson said.
On May 30, 2010, Jimenez was standing on the crucifix's base, using rags and soapy water to clean Christ's face. While holding onto the cross beam for balance, the whole crucifix snapped off at its base, sending Jimenez crashing to the ground, Kitson said. Pieces of the crucifix broke off, but the bulk of it landed on Jimenez's right leg, crushing it.
Kitson said only a single screw was holding the heavy crucifix to its base.
"There was no anchoring system, just that one screw," he said.

Nothing too much set in stone yet but our resident quizzer/question master combo of Chris Boote and Pat Harkin will likely be back in the saddle again and Eelco (conventions Programming Head Honcho) is going to try and get Jacqueline Simpson and/or Stephen Briggs and/or Rob and/or Rhianna for the panel.
The theme of the convention hasn't been finalised but we know that it's likely going to be based in 'modern' Ankh Morpork this time around and with Raising Steam still 'new' I'm guessing that Steampunk might be in order and UU and The Watch will be much in evidence?
So anyone who's read RS - we'll be wanting some questions loosely to do with that and as I haven't read it yet (and won't until the paperback's out - I refuse to shell out that much money ) experts are required. I'm currently memorising The Compleat Ankh-Morpork too but any other ideas on the question format including 'Nobody Knows' and General Ignorance' will be more than welcome.
So who's in?

Bears pull together to handily win CIF team championship, downing runner-up 233-156
CIF SS FINALS CHAMPIONS Name School Weight Christian Root Temecula Valley 106 Frankie Sandoval Temecula Valley 113 Dustin Kirk Elsinore 120 Joshy Cortez Temecula Valley 126 Kyler Phillips Temecula Valley 138 Carter Armendarez Great Oak 145 Bradley Christensen Chaparral 160 Nick Johnson Murrieta Valley 195
RANCHO CUCAMONGA After a brief detour, the Temecula Valley High wrestling team seems to have ascended back to the pinnacle of the CIF Southern Section.
On Saturday, the Golden Bears ran away with the team title at the CIF Southern Section Inland Wrestling Championships, easily outdistancing runner-up West Torrance 233-156 at Rancho Cucamonga Los Osos High School.
Temecula Valley's team tournament championship comes on the heels of winning the Division I dual-meet title last week. This marks the 13th time in program that both the team tournament championship and dual-meet title have been captured in the same season.
The Bears uncharacteristically failed to win either one in 2011-12.
Temecula Valley sophomore Joshy Cortez, the individual champion at 126 pounds, said the team's togetherness was the missing ingredient from last year's squad that fell short.
"When you're on the mat and you're wrestling, and you're down (in points) and you look up," Cortez said, "you see your whole team standing there, rooting you on. You just get this feeling, I can do it now. That's one of the best feelings you get when you wrestle."
Cortez was joined on the first-place podium by teammates Christian Root (106), Frankie Sandoval (113) and Kyler Phillips (138). Temecula Valley advanced eight wrestlers to next Saturday's Masters meet, which they host. But Bears coach Arnold Alpert had mixed emotions after his standout 145-pound wrestler, Leonel Mendez, failed to advance.
"As happy as we can be for eight, I am just as sad for the one," Alpert said. "It's a great feeling, but it's also a horrible feeling. The title, I would trade that title in a heartbeat to have that kid going onto Masters."
In terms of individual performances, no local shined brighter than Elsinore's Dustin Kirk. Kirk was named lower weight MVP at 120 pounds after he recorded four falls throughout the tournament, including a 1:58 pin of West Torrance's Yoshi Funakoshi in the final.
"He's come a long way under less than ideal circumstances," Elsinore coach Jeff Hickok said. "He has some external family support, but he doesn't have the traditional family support. He just sets some goals in front of himself and works tirelessly to try to achieve them."
Kirk has been living on his own this year, paying for rent and essential expenses such as food out of his own pocket. He hasn't been able to work since the start of wrestling season as he spends up to six hours a day devoted to his craft.
Despite his challenging living situation, Kirk has thrived in the classroom as a senior with a 4.0 grade-point average after recording a 0.8 GPA as a freshman.
"I realized that hard work pays off," Kirk said. "I came into the wrestling room and I just loved it. Freshman year, I was just a bad kid. I wasn't going to class. Sophomore year, I found wrestling. It clicked for me."

Yeah, I've tried it on Chrome and IE10 (latest versions of both) running in Windows 8 and it works like a charm. The website itself says it supports Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (but I've not tested them)

Agreed, they should have done something along the lines of Microsoft's Outlook.com rebranding - just start completely over.
I wonder why they are continuing to use the name Myspace...if it were me I would have moved well away from that name by now. With the original Myspace ending as a graveyard of a community, and the revamp not exactly capturing the imaginations of the user, the decision to try again rather than just creating a new site with a new, unassociated name surprises me.
To answer the question, no I'm not. And for the reasons I just stated I probably won't.

This basically takes a lot numbers from columns 1,2,3,4 adds them up and displays them under First. Is it possible to add another if to the start of the query? I want to take info from columns 5 and 6 but this has to go under a different column to First.
SELECT IF ( table.competition IN ( \'column5\', \'column6\' ), \'Second\', table.competition )
Then the ORDER BY FIELD would change to
ORDER BY FIELD(table.competition,\'First\',\'FA Cup\',\'League Cup\',\'Second\') ASC
Does anyone know if that be done?

In February and March 2012, the Office of Admission will host three interview weekends in conjunction with two freshman scholarships: the Presidential Scholarship and the Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship. Faculty and staff members are strongly encouraged to take advantage of these excellent opportunities to serve as interviewers and to aid in the recruitment of the University's fall 2011 freshman class.
The full-tuition Presidential Scholarship is awarded to a select number of Saint Louis University's most qualified freshman applicants. This year, the University will invite more than 500 students to interview for the Presidential Scholarship during the course of two weekends. Interviews will take place 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11 and Saturday, Feb. 25.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship is awarded to students who are committed to promoting diversity in society. Awardees must demonstrate leadership in multicultural, school or community activities that espouse King's ideals and present a vision to increase diversity on SLU's campus. Interviews for this scholarship will take place 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, March 3.
Each program also will feature an evening reception that gives interviewers an informal opportunity to meet the candidates. The receptions for the Presidential Scholarship will take place Friday, Feb. 10 and Friday, Feb. 24; the reception for the Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship will be Friday, March 2. Breakfast and lunch will be served at each event.
Because the magnitude of each scholarship weekend requires the involvement of so many individuals, faculty and staff participation is essential to make each event a success.
Register online at to volunteer as an interviewer for Presidential Scholarship Weekend or Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Weekend.

Alas, Poor Seamus, We Knew You Too, Too Well
I try to avoid being an advocate of the eat-your-peas model of campaign coverage. If the campaign were nothing but competing position papers, it would be terribly boring. Politics is compelling because it affects all of our lives, but also because it features interesting characters engaged in furious conflict. All that being said, however, a focus on trivia can be taken too far, and it usually is.
Which is why I'm glad that NPR's David Folkenflik did a story on New York Times columnist Gail Collins' bizarre obsession with Mitt Romney's dog. In case you're unfamiliar with the story, in 2008 it came out that Romney once took his family on a vacation with the dog strapped to the roof of the car. The dog was in a carrier, but it still struck many dog owners as a little crazy.
So what does this reveal to us about Romney? That he's indifferent to the risk of animal injury in high-speed crashes? Or what? Here's an excerpt from the story:
"I don't know what it is about that factoid that interests me more than Ron Paul's theories about the Federal Reserve — or anything else about any of these other candidates," Collins said.
She has already cited the dog in just shy of three dozen columns. Why would she do that? Collins says such moments can reveal character — in this case, Romney's rigid emphasis on efficiency.
"When I started writing columns, I thought that my goal would be to get people more interested in politics and to try and do it in a way that did not cause them to want to throw themselves out the nearest window," Collins told me during an interview at her office in midtown Manhattan. "And Seamus works very well on that front."
Collins mentioned the dog so often that Dartmouth political science professor Brendan Nyhan started keeping a running tally. "She's trying to be funny — I get that. I appreciate a good campaign story as much as the next person," Nyhan said. "But I do think it's representative of the way that the media focuses on trivia, things that are so inconsequential. Mitt Romney is not running for dogcatcher — he's running for president of the United States."
Although I stopped finding Collins' columns interesting some time ago, these days I usually skim them just to see if Romney's dog makes an appearance. And the answer, no matter what the topic, is invariably yes. Collins could write a column about Chinese monetary policy, and she'd manage to work in a reference to Romney's friggin' dog. And what's so weird about it is that despite her enthusiasm for this story, it's really hard to figure out why it's supposedly so revealing. This story really tells us so much more about "Romney's rigid emphasis on efficiency" than anything else she could come up with? Really? Even if you thought it was revealing, that may have been true of the first time you told the story, and maybe the second or third time. But by the 38th time, is it really helping your readers understand Romney any better than they otherwise did?
More than anything else, it's just lazy writing. And it's too bad, because there is no more valuable perch in the entire universe of American journalism than a spot on the New York Times op-ed page. None. If you're a Times columnist, you have unmatched prestige, you can go on the Sunday shows pretty much whenever you want, and your books are almost guaranteed to be best-sellers. Everyone who writes about politics (present company included) would give their right arm to be on the Times op-ed page. That ought to come with an obligation to work hard to make each column something distinctive and worthwhile. Or so you'd think.
Wed, 2011-12-21 12:45
I'm sorry if you don't get the point of the repeated references to Seamus. There is never a column about Romney in which the dog is left out. It's a comical refrain that Collins made clear would always appear. It is revealing of Romney's lack of warmth. And as you say, every political writer aspires to that page. Instead of her laziness, could it be your sour grapes?
Wed, 2011-12-21 15:36
Sour grapes or no, it's time for Ms. Collins to move on. She milked the Seamus thing for all it was (actually) worth. Since that time we've been treated to the same tired "joke/reference" over and over--ad nauseum. Bad enough that we've lost Bob Herbert and Frank Rich. More than bad enough that we're treated to the astute insights of a certain Mr. Douthat. Gail Collins "editorial lite" leaves much to be desired.

sadly, this post says more about the author then about Ms Collins
Althought Ms Collins columns are amusing and she actually does a fair amount of work (read them carefully - there are a alot source based statements) but ultimatly her columns confirm the status quo
to take the case of romney, by focusing on the funnyissue of the dog as example of poor judgement (although dogs like to ride out side, has anyone checked ot see if the dog liked it)
ultimately, these columns trivialize our debate; with romney, we should be asking, how many jobs at in wage at staples, and how many middle class mom and pop stationary stores out of biz
did romney really drive companies into bankruptcy and then take the pension money so he could buy his wife lavish homes ?
think about that - gail is going on about the dog, when you have a guy who potentially is worse then a child molester - someone who looted pension funds - and she doesn't bring itup
