Sickens me.
People write and ask me all the time whether I still pay attention to any of the going-ons in politics anymore. I have kids growing up in the world, so, of course I do. The last time I said anything about politics was back at the end of 2006 just as the 2008 election campaigning was getting underway.
Anyway, yes, I am paying attention. After all, I am unfortunate enough (my kids, moreso) to be living in these historically significant times where America is transforming itself, under the watchful, vigilante eye of the Marxist Obama regime, into AmeriKa. (I use vigilante correctly, here. True Americans who do believe in original American principles ARE considered the criminals by Obama, and his anti-American administration IS violating every law it can to bring us Americans and this country to justice as they see it.)
More on that in time, I suppose.
Right now, though, what I wanted to briefly comment on is this Sanford debauchery. What a small-balled and small-minded man this guy is. Absolutely pathetic.
And here, so many conservatives were fooled into thinking otherwise, admiring the way this guy handled himself on public forums and conducted his governing affairs. He was held in high character and was building huge clout in conservative corners and here he goes and blows it all for a stupid piece of ass.
There are a lot of ways to f'up your life, but none better than infidelity to brutally f'up many more lives than just your own. Masculinity aside, a real man would not do it. Real men do not screw up their loved ones lives.
During the fallout of the financial crisis there was talk by some Republicans and even some conservative citizenry that self-inflicted seppuku would go a long way in restoring moral confidence. Naturally, once the word got out about it being said, there was plenty of clarifying CYA by representatives who only fantasize, while among the heroic, manly monuments in DC at the people's expense, that they would have the courage to redeem themselves in this honourable manner if caught up in equal shameful behaviors; of course, none of them believe their daily crimes against our Constitution qualify as equal shameful behaviors. I was disappointed with clarification. And I know I'm about to be disappointed again. This time not only will the Republican representatives and CON-servative talking heads not mention any need to restore moral confidence, they won't give us any inspiring punishment ideas we can dream about.
If they change their mind, I'll supply the machete.
Yours in Intensity and Motivation,
Always Believe,

Salem is one of those cities we notice as the capital of their states, but we don't know because there is always a greater city, as Portland in this case, that attracts the whole attention. I'm glad to see these beautiful images of Salem and to know it here! Like! Roberto

Shawn Hargreaves Blog
Noun: "scrottox"
Definition: The opposite of a detail texture. Like a detail texture, scrottox is a monochrome image drawn using modulate2X blend mode, but where a detail texture is tiled more heavily than the base texture so as to provide fine detail when zoomed in close, a scrottox layer is tiled less heavily in order to provide coarse lumpiness when the view is zoomed out (see screenshots at the end of this page).
Usage: "That terrain texture looks horribly flat if you zoom the camera way out. Let's add a scrottox layer to fix that."
Etymology: MotoGP made heavy use of scrottox layers, but we lacked a good name for them until one of the artists said "the purpose is to make things look dirty, grungy and wrinkled. Like a scrot*m, or a pair of bollocks."
Scrot*m + Bollocks also= Scrollocks(multiple scrollock keys), but they are much less useful.
Kinect support please, please, please!
or any news!
or even news of news!
Oh well this may at least be the news of news, I was hoping for.
I am so excited about programming for Kinect, even if were to be only for PC.
I've really enjoyed this little run of posts, but what I like best is that only an English person working in the US would feel the need to asterisk 'scrot*m', but not 'bollocks'! :)
On a similar note you might be interested to know that the XNA-UK User Group has recently coined a 3D rendering-demo-specific version of a well known piece of Cockney rhyming slang - "Oh no, it's all gone Blinn-Phong...". I'm sure you can imagine its meaning and typical usage!

Hi, thanks to a brilliant effort in publishing your article. One can be more informative as this. There are many things I can know only after reading your wonderful article. More information about that could be useful. This is really a great site.
I tried to use regular soap and it worked???
I have a stink bug smell in a storage room- no way to find out exactly where it's coming from- but every time I'm in there, I can smell it. What can I do?
How do you remove the smell from your car. I have no idea where the smell is coming from inside the car, but the smell is nauseating. I've sprayed all the seats/floor boards, inside roof but worry I'm not focusing on the proper area. He could of been anywhere ;-(

A Miami Heat fan won $75,000 during the break in between the third and fourth quarters of Friday night's game at American Airlines Arena by sinking an incredibly lucky half-court hook shot. The unbelievable shot excited the crowd, and LeBron James loved the shot so much that he ran out to half court and tackled him to the ground with a giant hug. The fan didn't seem to mind the takedown at all and, as one broadcaster put it, he "probably enjoyed the hug from LeBron more than the money". Video via NBA.

venting an airhead gear box
A while back I made a plug to go in the hole left when I removed the speedometer cable:
I read that HPN offers a vented breather plug that has a tube that you attach to the frame.
My question is should I make a breather arrangement for my plug? If so, why does the gear box need to be vented?
I stuck a cork in my old speedo cable hole...
I have one of those vented plugs floating around the shop somewheres...
As I understand it, the guys racing airheads need to vent the gear box because under stress, they get hot and can puke oil. Therefore, the simple solution is to vent the tranny out to the the same catch bottle that services the engine.
My speedo cable bolt does not have a hole in it (it's not the original bolt), so I guess I'll make up a new vented plug. Thanks all for the advice.
Yes you need a breather. The 'box contains air and oil that expand as it is heated causing an increase in pressure in the 'box. The temp of the gearbox can vary quite a lot from sub zero to ( guessing here) 80 C.
Without a breather to vent this pressure, it will be trying to get out of the seals and either finding its way into the clutch, or the shaft, or down onto the road.
What's the part number for the original vented plug for a R100Gs?
Does anyone know where to get this breather stateside? I am wanting something a little more refined than the cork I've been using for a while. If I order from bmwboxersupplies.com it's 25,60 just to ship it to Dallas and the part itself is only 16,39.
Touratech supplies a "proper" cap, but uses the tranny vent bolt for venting... ($16.40 and in stock) .....If you are looking specifically for something with which to vent farther up (water crossings, anyone?), it looks like you might be able to drill and tap this piece for an air tube, and use a solid bolt rather than the stock vent-bolt....
When you installed the replacement plug, did you remove the speedo drive gear from the tranny?
It comes out through the plug hole.
Hmmm... if one were to pull out the drive cable, and to leave that drive gear in there, what might happen? I would think that is supported and kept in place with more than just the cable end?
I think most folks just pull the cable and replace with some plug without fooling around with the drive gear inside.
I cut an old speedo cable,pulled the guts out and ran it up under the tank to make a piped vent.
Looks stock cost nothing.
If anyone has a transmission on the shelf, remove the vented bolt and tilt the tranny over so that the drive gear slips out. It isn't retained in there by much. I think it has a boss on the bottom end that locates it in position inside the case.
If you remove the speedo cable, the top end of the gear is no longer held in place against axial and longitudinal loads. The gear is still driven but is able to move out of its engagement zone. I don't like that situation.
What is the drawback if you remove it? Are other components that are lubricated in there by the splash of that gear?
Wish I know more about the innards of a 5 speed BMW gearbox.

'Green Hornet' Film Builds New Buzz
Columbia Pictures announced on Tuesday (March 20) that the company has optioned the rights to the venerable crime-fighting franchise and that Neal Moritz's Original Films banner will produce.
Although it's often thought of as another comic book franchise, "The Green Hornet" debuted as a radio show in 1936, only moving to comics in 1940. The franchise's most beloved incarnation may be a short-lived
"I couldn't be more thrilled to be developing this world renowned property with the people who brought
One of the most prominent writer-directors to take a stab at the "Green Hornet" project was
"As I started writing it, I was like, 'I cannot direct an action movie. I have no idea how to do it,'" Smith told a crowd last spring (in a joke he's repeated in a variety of forms at various times). "I'm not good at it and I don't have patience. My version of it would be like Green Hornet and Kato leaning against the Black Beauty -- the amazing supercar and home arsenal that can do almost anything and just leaning against it talking about sex."
He continued with his scenario, "Like, 'Did you get laid last night?' 'Yeah. In the mask.' And Kato'd be like 'I think there's some trouble over there.' And Green Hornet's like, 'Yeah, let's check it out.' They both just walk off camera. We still hold on the car. Then from off camera you hear [He mimics the sounds of a comic fight]. Then they walk back in and dust themselves off."
Presumably Columbia has a different version of the film in mind, though the studio has yet to attach a writer or director.

Customer reviews
By Wayne S. Walker 13 Dec 2013
Oh, dear me! Another ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōWimpy Kid├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø book? What is this now, number 8? How many more will there be? I wonder if down the road we├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäóll be reading ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōDiary of a Wimpy Senior Citizen├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø about Greg Heffley├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäós activities while living in a nursing home (I made a similar comment in my review of the previous ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōWimpy Kid├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø book too). These ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōWimpy Kid├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø books are apparently extremely popular, and many people evidently like them. As you may tell, however, I do not, yet the publisher keeps sending me each new one for review. In Hard Luck, the story revolves around the fact Greg├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäós best friend, Rowley Jefferson, has ditched him because Rowley now has a girlfriend, Abigail. A lot of godly parents strenuously object to children├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäós books which emphasize the dating/going steady scene for kids, especially as young as middle school.
Along the way, the plot, what little of it there is, meanders through a Rottweiler named Rebel, the Mingo kids who live in the woods on the way to school, the Heffley├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäós strange relatives, a bunch of students who run an old assignments recycling racket in an unused school storeroom, even Greg├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäós new friend Fregley who can blow bubbles by ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōchewing├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø gum with his belly button, and a ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōMagic 8 Ball.├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø There are some references to ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōdog poop,├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø and the euphemistic ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōdarn it├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø is used once. Greg reads all the books in ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōthe Slumber Party Pal series├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø and thinks that popularity is based on stuff like what kinds of brand-name clothes one wears or what kind of cell phone he has. One of Greg├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäós aunts is into psychics, and his Gramma supposedly has ESP. Also a reference to playing the lottery occurs. A lot of parents I know would just as soon that their children NOT have many of these kinds of things paraded before them.
As I├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäóve said of the other ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōWimpy Kid├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø books that I├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäóve reviewed, Hard Luck isn├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäót an evil or even necessarily a bad story. However, the book illustrates all the things about public school life which have caused so many parents to pull their kids out and homeschool them so that they can have more positive experiences. Also, as we were raising our boys, we had much better hopes for our family than what the Heffleys exemplify. If what happens to them and what they do are ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōnormal,├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø it may well help to explain why our culture is headed downward. Each family will have to decide whether the ├ā┬óŌé¼┼ōWimpy Kid├ā┬óŌé¼┬Ø books are appropriate for their children or not, but I don├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäót really recommend them. From a Biblical worldview and even a literary standpoint, so much truly good, beneficial children├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäós literature is available that it is a shame to waste one├ā┬óŌé¼Ōäós reading time on what amounts to junk.

The new Team Fortress Halloween event has started, and it is mediocre. Not to deride it, but it lacks the thrill the previous years events had, while providing a much more fair experience for all players.
Honestly, Merasmus is the most even boss created yet. He doesn't have the instant kill powers the Horseless Headless Horseman had (which was rather frustrating), he has a number of attack methods, keeping players on their toes. Merasmus does have a lot of hit points, meaning that only a concentrated team effort can defeat him. This also give in to the only short coming of this event. Player killers can take advantage of other players being focused on Merasmus and get some easy kills. It is baffling as to why some players can enjoy doing so. Unfortunately, some players just cannot understand that team fortress is a team game. Unless you are working towards the goals of your team, you are a liability to your team.
Year round, there are a number of servers that run various user created mode of game play, some of which have been integrated into this years event and map. First is the Wheel of Fate, which operates quite similarly to Roll the Dice, except that the outcome effects all players. Also, none of the unpleasant and annoying effects usually included in rtd are present. Second mode is Prop Hunt. In this case, Merasmus disappears and several "props" (items of furniture, rocks, targets and such) appear. Merasmus is disguised as one of these props, and players have to attack the correct one for Merasmus to reveal himself. While this mode is quite fun, it can take quite a while to find him, eating up time needed to defeat him. That being said, the objects that appear are quite large and oddly placed, so it making it rather obvious which objects do not belong. It would have been interesting if smaller, less obviously placed objects were used, making the hunt that much more challenging, but also taking quite a bit more time.
Valve has completely eliminated the problems that existed last year with the presents, and people stealing and killing over the presents. Last year that was quite a problem with people abusing admin power to steal the present, mostly by using no-clip, or others non-admins who would shoot another player in the back, or airblast such a player away from the present, in order to take it for themselves. Now present spawn only visible and collectible by individual players, so no stealing can take place. While this system is the fairest possible system, it takes away the challenge, and limits the amount of presents an individual can collect in any given amount of time.
Lakeside is actually a map that has been around for while, but the cosmetic changes make it virtually unidentifiable from it's original incarnation with an Egyptian theme, though the Egyptian version seemed much large. In fact, the map has a large area where Merasmus doesn't spawn, meaning if you are killed in a battle with him, it takes most classes quite a while to get back into the fight. This is a serious problem, as Merasmus's time on the map is very short, making it the biggest obstacle to killing him.
Also, Skull Island makes a return from last years game mode, which seems to indicate a lack of creativity.
All in all, a good experience, with a little less excitement than last year, but also minimizing crying.

Neuhäuser and Krackow reviewed and analysed data from 1953 and 1972 (before abortion was widespread). They found that other factors, besides the mother's increasing age, were linked to the number of Down Syndrome cases. Down Syndrome rates were significantly higher in older mothers in their first pregnancy than in older mothers who had already had children. Only late first pregnancies were more likely to produce a Down Syndrome baby, not late second or third pregnancies. In addition, the larger the gap between pregnancies, the higher the rates of Down Syndrome.
Down Syndrome is the result of the genetic abnormality trisomy 21. Trisomy has been the focus of extensive medical research but the exact mechanism is still not understood. One feature common to most trisomies is an increase in frequency of trisomic pregnancies with increasing maternal age. There is strong evidence for uterine selection against genetically disadvantaged embryos. However, as women approach the menopause and the risk of future infertility increases, this selection, or filtering stringency, is expected to relax.
Neuhäuser and Krackow's paper provides evidence that older mothers, who give birth to children with Down Syndrome, have a relaxed stringency of quality control of embryos (o

Authors Note: Ok this is a weird story(kinda I guess) I just thought of. I love long hair and wish I had some so that's why. Enjoy and Review or something…
~Long, Flowing Hair I love~
Shinpachi-san POV:
I watch Heisuke comb and brush through his long hair. His chocolate colored hair fell to his sides of his face, making his green bright eyes stand out.
'It's so beautiful, 'I thought,' I bet its weird to just watch someone comb and brush his long, flowing, chocolate(1) colored hair but it's so beautiful and that's how I fell in love with Heisuke.
I slide over his door just to get a better look until… THUD.
"Shinpat-san what are you doing here," Heisuke asked.
I quickly scrambled to my feet to figure out an excuse.
"Aha nothing little man. Just wanted to know what you were doing." Heisuke must of figure out that his hair was all down still so he quickly grabbed his hair tie and put it back on.
Heisuke's face turned red and asked, "So do we have to go on patrol or anything?"
"Huh? Oh not at all it seems like we have a day off", I answered, "Little man want to go on a walk or something it seems like it's a nice day and all."
"S-sure," Heisuke stuttered. 'Yes a mini date or hanging out…crap!'
Heisuke-kun POV:
'I cannot believe that Shinpat-san kinda asked me on a date. I know Shinpat-san only likes me as a friend but I don't know maybe not….'
I noticed that Hijikata-san and Saitou-san are playing with each other's hair? Well, I guess its ok because just a month they started going out.
Like snap they instantly confess their love with each other.
The whole Shinsengumi doesn't mind. Its kinda fun seeing that they're so happy.
"Haha! They are so cute with each other," Shinpachi-san laughed.
I watched Shinpat-san's eyes looking over Hijikata-san and Saitou-san's hair.
'Does he like their long hair more than mine. Oh no am I getting jealous? Dammit, I think Shinpat-san really do like their hair more than mine.'
"Heisuke are you pouting?" "P-Pouting? Why would I Heisuke Toudou the greatest samurai in Japan pout?"
"Well your pouting right now", Shinpachi said his finger on my lips.
I felt my face growing hot. I turned away not wanting him to see.
"Let's go on that walk bastard," I said stomping away.
"Aw don't be like that. Hey! Wait up!"
Author's POV:
Heisuke and Shinpachi walked around Kyoto.
Each women or men that passed, Heisuke noticed that Shinpachi staring at their long hair.
'No. I can't be jealous. But why does Shinpat-san stare at people with long hair. I have long hair too,and its beautiful so why is he only paying attention to these strangers hair.
"Ah… Shinpat-san. Do you like my hair or other peoples hair…",Heisuke asked.
Shinpachi turned and looked at Heisuke.
"Well yeah…I guess."
'So he thinks my hair is only good then?' "Shinpat-"
"Heisuke I'll tell you why when we get back at headquarters okay. So come on", Shinpachi interrupted.
Shinpachi and Heisuke walked back to the Shinsengumi into Shinpachi room. Heisuke sat on Shinpachi's futon waiting for an answer. Shinpachi shut the door and sat next to him.
"Now tell me why", Heisuke said.
"Sigh. Well, I been uh…following you. Y'know when you brush and comb your hair. Like this morning. I couldn't stop staring at your beautiful chocolate hair. Long, flowing hair is what I love. And you have that hair. I kinda want to know if your hair even taste like chocolate. And..and that's how I fell in love with you Heisuke. Those words that I just said are true," Shinpachi explained.
Heisuke sat there surprised. Shinpachi loved him for his hair?
"Is there more that you love about me Shinpat-san," Heisuke asks.
"Yeah. I love that you call me Shinpat-san, the way you fight and that you keep trying . Your jokes. And you have beautiful eyes too Heisuke-kun."
Heisuke blushed. 'Man, I'm so happy. Shinpat-san loves me. I can't believe that he loves me. Okay now I guess I should confess'Heisuke thought.
"Shinpat-san I- I love you too."
"Yes of course. And..um I'll show it to you if ya want.."
"Okay then what are you going to do," Shinpachi asked.
"This," Heisuke said smiling and leaning up to kiss Shinpachi. It was a long and gentle kiss at that. Both of their faces are flushed.
Shinpachi touched Heisuke's hair and broke the kiss so he could taste and kiss the chocolate hair. Again Heisuke sat there blushing.
"Mm it does taste like chocolate. I like it," says Shinpachi.
"Heh I love you Shinpat-san." 'I love you too Heisuke".
-Next Day-
Shinpachi and Heisuke sat next to each at the garden playing with each other's hair. Souji saw this and walked up to them.
"So I see you guys are finally a couple," Souji said.
"Yep. And couldn't be happier."
"Mhm," Shinpachi leaned down to kiss Heisuke passionately in front of Souji.
'Man I wish someone can love me like that,' Souji thought. "Hmm Oh Kondou-san~.Want to come out and play?"
The End
A/N: So yeah did you enjoy? Hope so. (1) I do not know if they had chocolate back then.
Well anyway my next story is a Yullen one called Turned into a Neko. It should be out by anytime I don't know yet. Well review!I'll be writing a fun story first though.

Bond set, students held on charges from Bosse fight
Two Bosse High School students who allegedly punched teachers who were attempting to break up a fight between them Friday formally were charged Wednesday in Vanderburgh Superior Court.
Javon L. Burton and William D. Tuck, both 18, each face two class D felony counts of battery resulting in bodily injury and one count of disorderly conduct, a class B misdemeanor.
Both made video court appearances from the Vanderburgh County Jail on Wednesday, where Burton is being held on $5,000 surety or $500 cash bond. Tuck's bond is set at $10,000 or $1,000 cash.
Tuck's bond is higher, according to the prosecution, because he has a previous court record.
From a seat in the gallery, Tuck's father addressed the court, saying he is on Veterans Affairs disability and can't afford his son's $1,000 bond.
"He'll just have to deal with the consequences of his action," replied Judge Scott R. Bowers.
Bosse teachers Robert Romain and Andrew Coil, who both wanted to press charges, complained of pain and had blood on their clothing after attempting to intervene in the fight that began about 10:30 a.m. Friday in Romain's classroom, according to the probable cause affidavit.
Romain was pushed and hit, and Coil was struck in the lip, according to police. Romain "advised that Tuck and Burton were so out of control that students were running to the office to get help."
A student witness told police Tuck "was making fun of Javon's baby's mom" and "there was a bunch of yelling and hitting back and forth."
Both men are to return to court in December.

Davies told the Journal the accusations against him were "spurious," adding: "When a company fails, there's a lot of finger pointing."
Bain also invested in a troubled internet start-up that employed Ryan Davies from 1997 to 2001, a Utah-based firm called Found Inc. that struggled and was later purchased by another firm. In a biographical write-up Davies published as promotional material for another venture, he said he helped Found Inc. raise "over $46 million in private equity from Bain Capital, Accel Partners, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Sun Microsystems and others."
Romney's in-laws continued to find opportunities in their famous relative's orbit. While he headed the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics, the organization hired a start-up company that Ryan Davies helped oversee, called 02 Blue. The company helped buy and sell mobile emissions credits, and Davies told ABC News he hoped the work for the Olympics would put his company on the map. It didn't -- the company shut its doors not long after. Davies told ABC News that he landed the Olympics contract without his uncle's help. "This is not anything I went directly to him about," he said.
When Romney made his first bid for president in 2007, his campaign hired Rod Davies's importing company, Asian Sources LLC, to supply bobblehead dolls crafted in the candidate's likeness. Federal Election Commission records show the campaign paid Asian Sources $30,000, according to a review by the Center for Responsive Politics. Top Romney fundraiser Spencer Zwick signed letters that accompanied the dolls when they were sent out to scores of donors "as a token of our appreciation." Zwick called the bobblehead doll a "can't-get-it-in-stores" collectable.
Roderick Davies identifies himself on an online resume as heading business development for the green energy firm his son Ryan launched in 2008, called REDCO. Ryan was apparently quick to tout his Romney connections, even when no family help was forthcoming, according to Davies' former clients and investors. REDCO's business was to fund alternative energy projects, such as wind and solar generating plants. In 2009, Davies traveled to the small Mojave Desert town of Needles, Calif., to pitch city officials on a new method of converting the sun's rays into electricity. It was in a slide presentation to the Needles council, obtained from the city through a public records request, that Davies identified Josh Romney as the vice president of business development for his Utah firm.
One top Needles official told ABC News that Davies repeatedly referenced his ties to Mitt Romney, and those connections brought Davies credibility.
"It was my personal hope that if we built this, that [Mitt] Romney would come out here and help get politicians here to draw attention to it so we could build more like it, but obviously, that never happened," the official said, asking that his name not be used because the city signed an agreement not to disparage REDCO and he did not have permission to speak publicly about the matter.
Davies also touted Josh Romney's purported involvement in an August 17, 2009 email to investors, obtained by ABC News, saying Romney would be the company's "business development advisor." Andy Neff, a boyhood friend of Davies, said he put $150,000 of his own money into REDCO with the impression that Mitt Romney himself might be looking over Davies's shoulder. Neff also said he persuaded one of his biggest clients to invest far more than $600,000, saying that he didn't think "my client would have even spoken to him if he wasn't associated with Mitt Romney."

The Patriots have been trying to figure out ways to fix their secondary. Too many players have beaten them wide or over the middle and they need more than Patrick Chung patrolling the middle to keep people on their toes.
Well, one player the Patriots were hoping to go after was San Francisco 49ers Safety Dashon Goldson, who had a monster year on the Bay. Well, that most likely will not happen now as according to ESPN.com, the 49ers have used their franchise tag on Goldson.

Press release from Business Wire
General Mills Pilots Hispanic Online Sampling Effort to Reach Consumers with New Product Sneak Preview
Wednesday, December 14, 2011
General Mills Pilots Hispanic Online Sampling Effort to Reach Consumers with New Product Sneak Preview16:45 EST Wednesday, December 14, 2011 MINNEAPOLIS (Business Wire) -- This morning, QueRicaVida.com™ members discovered a special offer for General Mills product samples in their email in-box. The Hispanic lifestyle website that caters to more than 300,000 registered members announced via email an exclusive deal featuring eight new products--from breakfast cereals to fruit snacks to handy dinner kits--bundled into a try-before-you-can-buy offer. For $18, Qué Rica Vida will ship to consumers' doors a sampling of General Mills products before they're available on shelf, a $30 value. Plus they will receive $8 in coupon savings to purchase them at their local store. "We're thrilled to present a valuable offer to our family of Qué Rica Vida members through a fantastic sampling initiative," explained Rodolfo Rodriguez, director of multicultural marketing for General Mills. "Members can be the first to taste test the new products at home and enjoy them with family and friends; then in January, they'll start seeing them at the market. This value-driven approach enables us to reach Qué Rica Vida members in yet another very meaningful and innovative way. It is a first for the company as we continue to develop engaging strategies that embrace our Hispanic consumers." The box of General Mills foods features seven full-size retail packages and a single-size Betty Crocker® Fruit Roll-Ups® Quiz Rolls. All products begin shipping to retail and grocery store locations later this month and into January 2012: Dulce de Leche Cheerios® (12 oz) Frosted Toast Crunch® (12.3 oz) Hamburger Helper® Ultimate Beef Stroganoff (5.5 oz) Hamburger Helper® Cheesy Italian Beef (5.1 oz) Multi-Grain Cheerios® Peanut Butter (11.3 oz) Ocean Spray® Berries & Cherries (8 oz) Ocean Spray® Assorted Fruit (8 oz) Betty Crocker® Fruit Roll-Ups® Quiz Rolls Strawberry Twist & Punch Berry (single 5 oz pouch) Rodriguez notes the breakthrough online sampling pilot is an important part of the company's strategy to showcase its popular brands given that a majority of online growth is fueled by Latinas. For the last five years, QueRicaVida.com has become a major hub of relevant, go-to information for Hispanic consumers, particularly Latina moms. When they register at the website, consumers receive coupons, exclusive member benefits and have quick access to a variety of helpful day-to-day information. "QueRicaVida.com is expanding quickly in the digital space, and we're working hard to offer fresh, relevant content and resources to our members," Rodriguez said. "We can build stronger brand engagement with Hispanics by showcasing value – whether that is an exclusive value-add sampling offer or a series of quick family recipes to quell the dinner hour dilemma." Unlike some email offers orchestrated by larger online coupon companies, the Qué Rica Vida sampling bundle is managed by General Mills and is only available to members registered as of December 13, 2011 on QueRicaVida.com. As part of this campaign, 1,500 sample offers are available while supplies last. About Qué Rica Vida Now in its fifth year, the Qué Rica Vida initiative is an important resource designed to provide Latina moms with culturally relevant lifestyle information and expert advice on Education, Holiday Occasions, Health & Wellness and Family--issues of great importance to Hispanic families in America. The program was developed by General Mills to help the Hispanic mother succeed in creating a healthier, easier, richer life for her and her family. The cornerstone of the Qué Rica Vida initiative is its free quarterly lifestyle magazine and website of the same name, www.QueRicaVida.com About General Mills General Mills is one of the world's leading food companies, operating in more than 100 countries.

Getting The Most Out Of Short Rides
January 16, 2015 2 Comments
January is upon us, which means it's time to really start thinking about your riding. Whether you're on the trainer, or braving the elements, odds are most of us aren't getting in nearly as much saddle time as we'd like. That means we need to be smarter about how we use it. Just going out and turning the pedals for a bit won't do you much good.
Whether you're into racing or not, here are some workouts to help you get the most out of shorter rides.
1. HIIT Sessions
High Intensity Interval Sessions are all the rage right now, and for good reason. You can get a serious work out in just 15 minutes that can give you some big fitness gains.
You can do these either outside or on the trainer. Start with a 5 minute warm up, then alternate 30 seconds intervals at 90% max effort with 1 minute recovery periods. Finish with a 3-5 minute cool down.
Shop for trainers and rollers
2. Climbing Repeats
These are best done on the trainer, but you can do them outside either by finding a familiar hill, or trying to ride into a headwind if you live in a flatter area.
Start with a 3 minute warm up, then alternate 2 minute intervals with 2 minute recovery periods. With each interval, you should move into a progressively harder gear, pedaling at a lower cadence. Alternate between sitting and standing to develop all those climbing muscles.
Learn more about Getting The Hang of Indoor Training
3. Slow and Steady
You're remembering to push it hard, but are you remembering to go slowly, too? Recovery miles are just as important for improving fitness as intervals.
You can do this either outside or on the trainer. Start with a 3 minute warm up, then spin at a steady, easy pace for at least 20 minutes. You should be at no more than 60% of your max heart rate at any point. This may not feel like you're accomplishing anything, but you're keeping your muscles limber, and helping to flush lactic acid from the larger muscle groups. This aids in recovery, and helps keep you fresh for your next day of intervals. This is also a great time to work on cadence and pedaling form.

For some time now, Foursquare has been fighting its critics by arguing that it is building the "location layer for the internet." It has followed through on some of that claim by integrating itself into Instagram and other services, but now it could be on the verge of something much bigger: sources tell BuzzFeed it is close to signing a significant data deal with Yahoo.
A database vendor called Objectivity has created a mobile app called GraphMyLife that aims to let consumers explore links between the people and content in their various social networks. I say "aims" because although the idea is pretty cool, the app is a bit laggy and confusing (at least on my phone). But cut Objectivity a break: it's a specialized (and old) enterprise-tech company trying to humanize its graph database software.
Business intelligence and analytics startup Birst has raised a $38 million Series E round led by Sequoia Capital. Birst has been very busy in the past couple years, moving from SaaS to on-prem software, rethinking the data warehouse and even launching a Hadoop-based service. It looks like Birst is positioned to test the IPO waters like Qliktech and Tableau before it.
Cleversafe, a Chicago-based provider of object-storage systems for housing massive amounts of data, has raised a $55 million series D round led by New Enterprise Associates. Apart from traditional storage workloads, Cleversafe has also made a name for itself as a replacement for HDFS in Hadoop environments. According to Crunchbase, the company has now raised $91.4 million since 2007.
When it comes to data, soccer is the new baseball. The latest issue of the Economist has an article breaking down English Premiere League soccer players using data, and a subsequent blog post includes an interactive tool from machine learning startup Ayasdi that lets readers explore the data. Earlier this week, Disney researchers presented their analysis of an entire year's worth of ball-position data for a professional soccer league and how that can affect the outcome of games.
A Chicago-based startup called AvantCredit has raised a $20 million series B round for its personal loan service that uses machine learning algorithms to assess credit-worthiness. AvantCredit closed a $34 million Series A round earlier this year. It's taking a page out of the ZestFinance playbook — lending to underserved markets at rates less usurious than traditional payday-loan providers — although that company now acts only as an underwriter rather than an actual lender.

Who Are Obama's Real Enablers?
I was reading the Old Testament book of Amos a few days ago and was reminded that liberation theologians get much comfort from that prophet's decrying the mistreatment of the poor.
At about the same time, I read a piece by a brilliant conservative analyst with whom I sometimes disagree who was arguing that some conservatives don't take the formidable Barack Obama seriously enough and, in effect, give him cover with their over-the-top depictions of Obama as a Marxist and worse. He erroneously assumes that these supposedly hyperbolic characterizations are motivated by greed (stirring up audiences yields more revenues) and, in any event, only serve to enable Obama.
Please stick with me; I will tie these first two paragraphs together before I'm finished.
I agree with the analyst to some extent. In fact, I have long argued that President Obama is not "The Amateur" some paint him as. He is quite competent on big-picture items and is advancing his agenda even if he doesn't have a clue about the details, most of which he doesn't want to be bothered with, anyway.
Obama never did produce a health care reform bill, but the name "Obamacare" will forever credit him with that bill's coming into law, as well it should. But do you remember Obama's rambling, incoherent, embarrassingly nonsensical 2,600-word response to a woman named Doris at a health care forum about cutting medical costs?
Obama also seems to be a virtual economics illiterate. But that doesn't keep him from getting away with expanding the government, spending trillions of borrowed dollars and taxing major producers into oblivion. The disastrous results of his policies didn't prevent him from being reelected.
Obama's style of governance can best be understood by his frustrated command regarding the hole responsible for the Gulf Oil Spill: "Just plug the damn hole." But that doesn't mean he should be taken lightly.
While I agree with many of the unnamed analyst's points about Obama, I disagree with some of the lessons he draws.
I agree that some of the claims about Obama have enhanced his credibility by making the accusers seem unserious. But I don't think calling attention to his extremism and labeling it as such falls into that category.
It seems that this particular conservative analyst and a number of others are saying we need to recognize that Obama is not so much a radical, but more of a European-type socialist who is also weak on defense.
Well, I'm not sure how much substantive difference there is between a European socialist and a dictatorial Marxist. But putting that question aside, I think there is more danger in sanitizing Obama's radicalism than there is in potentially overstating it.
Part of the reason Obama has been able to succeed, including in his reelection effort, is that the overly cautious types on our side insist on pulling their punches in criticizing him. If Mitt Romney's campaign proved anything, it proved that.
Just when Romney had Obama on the ropes, he not only let him back into the center of the ring, but he quit throwing punches altogether and just offered up his chin. Similarly, congressional Republicans can't successfully navigate their budget battles with Obama if they're constantly giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming (and asserting), against the evidence, that he is dealing in good faith.
If our side had been as relentless in pointing out Obama's substantive radicalism as Obama and the left have been in falsely demonizing Republicans, I dare say we could have defeated him in 2012.
Obama is not just a garden-variety liberal who wants to nudge America's political pendulum left of center. He has told us from the beginning and has now proved that he intends to fundamentally transform America.
Nor is he motivated by ideological liberalism alone. He holds grudges, from race to capitalism to who knows what else.
This is where we tie the first two paragraphs together. Obama was demonstrably lying when he said he didn't hear and approve of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's racist black liberation theology sermons for 20 years. He has not only established that with his books and his past four years in office, but also in the church he frequents most often today.
Check out the sermon Obama chose to hear on Easter Sunday from Rev. Luis Leon, who decried that "the captains of the religious right are always calling us back, back, back. For blacks to be in the back of the bus, for women to be back in the kitchen, for gays to be in the closet, and for … immigrants to be on their side of the border."
It is not those pointing out Obama's radicalism who are his primary enablers, but those who are naively downplaying it.

Export written tapes after multiple backup jobs?
Here's the scenario:
Running BackupExec 2012. Quantum Scalar i40 library with mailslots set up. Roughly 40 backup jobs per night to tape. I'm trying to figure out how to export the media that has been written to the mail slot after the last job runs. Do I just need to schedule an export job to run after the last backup completes, or will that export all the media in the library? The jobs usually span a couple of tapes(1-2 for incrementals, 3-4 for the full backups).
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
When you add a export stage to your backup jobs, the export job is chained to the backup job. If you want to chain backup jobs, see my article below
You got to understand what happens when you export a tape. Suppose you have 1 mailslot and you export 3 tapes. The first tape would be placed in the mailslot and BE will prompt you to remove the tape from the mailslot. When you remove the tape and respond to the alert, BE will place the next tape in the mailslot and issue another alert to ask you to remove the tape from the mailslot. This process continues until all the tapes are exported. Presumably your backups occur at night when there is nobody around to remove the tapes. When there is no response for the media removal alert, the export job will fail and all subsequent export jobs will also fail because the mailslot is occupied. Unless you have someone to remove the the tapes from the mailslot during the time when the media removal alert is issued, there is no point in you doing tape exports because you definitely do not have more mailslots than the number of tapes to be exported. There is no way to delay the export until the mailslots are cleared.
Similar to AllenK, I need to export tapes as well to I/O slots in my library. I have 12 I/O Slots. I have figured how to chain jobs, I can find what media was written to, but nothing I've found will tell me what slots they live in to call Get-BERoboticLibraryDevice | Get-BERoboticLibrarySlot -SlotNumber X,Y,Z | Submit-BEExportMediaJob. If, somehow I can find what slots X,Y, and Z, are from the get-mediaset "Daily Tape", I'm golden. If you run Get-BEMediaSet -Name "Whateveryourmediasetnameis" you can get all the tape barcodes or what you've named the tapes. Can you help me getting the slot numbers the tapes live in?


text: Rose Village — A Fort Vancouver Lions Club member was touched by a Washington Elementary School fourth-grader's unselfish spirit when helping provide other children with gifts in December. Lions Club volunteers help run the school's annual Christmas Store, which allows children choose free gifts for their family. Bruce Preece said a boy he was assigned to help initially declined a present, saying that isn't what the season is about. Preece said the child received a gift anyway, but the conversation stuck with him. "The experience touched my heart," Preece wrote in an email. He said the boy "displayed such an unselfish maturity, uncommon for someone his age and circumstance." Nearly 91.2 percent of students at Washington Elementary qualify for free- or reduced-priced school meals.
