If the employees don't respect it, why would anyone think the customers would?
Well so far I see that a lot of people still want to blame Disney for the overall park conditions. While I believe that Disney is somewhat culpable I still feel like it's the attitude of people today that make the difference. I was at the Magic Kingdom in December and I saw the aftermath of parade where nearly everyone who had been sitting on the ground got up and simply left behind every piece of trash imaginable. It looked horrendous. One of Disney's mandates is to have trash bins everywhere so that no one had an excuse to litter. Why is it so hard to carry some trash to the nearest bin for disposal? In addition, I rode the Little Mermaid at the new Fantasyland. While in line I saw multiple children climbing the rockwork in the queue. Now how long do you think that rockwork is going to stay in it's pristine condition while parents let their children treat it like a playground? Which brings me to my point, it is a cause and effect relationship. How does Disney combat the overall mistreatment of the parks due to the non-caring attitudes that a majority of people seem to have nowadays?
this reminded me of what i saw on new years eve in CarsLand in Anaheim.
Here i was waiting for a friend to come out of the bathrooms next to DOC Huds building and a 13 or 14 year old girl climbs over the rails of the planters and starts stomping on the beautiful plants making sure that she dug deep in the sand and dirt with her shoe. Meanwhile Dad sitting there turns to her and says maybe you should not do that. meanwhile younger brother is pulling the blooms from the other plants dad then looks and says your mother is not going to like that.
Well sorry but i could not take it so i told the girl to get her *** out of the planters as well as the boy and asked the Dad who was the child him or the two uncontrolled kids in the planters. His response, look the other way and a bite on his oversized turkey leg and sip form his drink.
what bothered me even more beside this behavior was that a couple CM's past next to the planters and did not have some kind of pride to make sure their park was maintained and instead just walked by without saying a word.
a) do some CM's not care
b) are CM told not to do anything so that they do not have a confrontation
seems to me that if it is the second option, they could at least call security or very calmly go to the children and tell them to please get out of the planters.
Policy can breed bad behavior," in which veteran Imagineer Eddie Sotto comments on guests' littering:
It's true that the social ethic of today's society sucks. But it's also true that the Disney Corporation of the past 15 years has invested less in the upkeep of WDW and in the training of its Cast Members than at any time in the company's history. And the result is obvious.Quote:

In the 70s I seemed to always encounter a couple of sweepers on Main Street every time I was there. Their hard work set a tone of cleanliness that was emulated by the guests.
Why is there zero litter at an air show in Wisconsin with 800,000 visitors while Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena is covered in literally TONS of trash after the Rose Parade? It's Disney's responsibility to find out and fight for zero litter in its parks.
Oh there's plenty of blame to go around on this one - apologies this is another long one....
I agree that guests at WDW/DL are not nearly as respectful of the parks as they should be and used to be. Remember, it wasn't all that long ago when people would dress up for activities such as airplane rides and even visits to Disneyland. In some of the very old post cards and pictures of guests at the DL park from the 50s and 60s, it almost looks like they came into the park directly from their place of worship dressed to the nines.
Now, I'm not suggesting people should do dress up today to visit the parks but the parks of yesteryear were enjoyed at a more leisurely pace. Some people came into the parks just to be there and never even went on the rides - they just paid "General Admission" to be in the park. Visiting early DL and WDW was a special treat and when people visited they were happy to be there and thus respectful of the parks.
Today there are kids and adults picking at wallpaper and trying to deface the attraction waiting areas just because they feel they can. As times changed and Disney started cutting back on cast members (such as greeters at each attraction's entrance) the cleanliness of lines started to decrease dramatically. People feel as if there is nobody watching them so they have free reign to do as they wish. Next thing you know gum, spit balls, etc. are everywhere.
As for the graveyard shift custodial and maintenance cast - they've really got a challenge on their hands. These days, with the parks always open late and with "extra magic hours" pushing closing time to an ungodly 3 a.m., they barely have enough time to come in and do their jobs. They attend to the most pressing basics such as emptying trash and sweeping or mopping attraction floors but cobwebs on light fixtures, spit balls, etc. - those are just lower priority because "rope drop" is a scant few hours away and they can't work miracles.
The "show quality" folks that presumably walk the attractions at night should be an extension of maintenance and custodial in addition to Imagineering and report and work to address all issues. At best, each attraction should undergo a monthly "deep cleaning" that would probably improve things dramatically. Focus on things such as light fixtures, dust, etc.
I know many of you get sick at the comparisons between Tokyo and the stateside parks but the reality is that a franchisee (Tokyo Disneyland) is actually more Disney than the original Disney is. First, the guests are respectful of the parks which is a big factor in making these parks in Tokyo sparkle. Secondly, the Oriental Land Company does't skimmp on custodial cast and operations cast members (they are everywhere and everything is attended to). Finally, they hardly ever keep the parks open past 10 p.m. and never open before 8 a.m. - thus they have time to repaint, sweep and put TLC into the place.
I remember when Disneyland was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays many weeks throughout the year. This allowed the custodial and maintenance crew to keep the place super spiffy. Now, it's such a rush to herd people in and keep them spending on bland food, merchandise and "dress up" for their kids into the wee hours of the night that the "product" gets marginalized in a rush for profit.
At least Disneyland in the states seems to still go through more attraction closures then WDW does. Disney World management seems to state that they don't want guests to be disappointed by coming to WDW and having their favorite attraction closed so that is why these rides can't be down for prolonged refurbishments or touch ups. I hope this is one of the "exaggerations" that GK addresses right away because it is a total cop out. If you are planning a trip to WDW and your favorite attraction is down for refurbishment get in the habit of reading the operating calendar vs. complaining at City Hall - plan your trip accordingly.
Another culprit in all of this is "Fast Pass" and I shutter to think what FP+ will do to things. In the past you used to have steadily moving lines for attractions. If lines were moving along at an even moderate pace you don't have time to muck things up too much in the line area. Now, with the advent of FP, you have lines moving at a snail's pace and people becoming bored, upset, etc. Next thing you know you have people tearing up the lines. I am positive that the Little Mermaid line in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom is going to look the Devil in a few months time. This particular stand-by line moves at a devastatingly slow pace - it's almost maddening. Disney can do the interactive "line" stuff all they want but give a ten year old with ADD enough time and they'll break things with their grubby little hands quicker than you can imagine.
And finally, while I realize Disney is profit motivated a case really can be made for shoddy maintenance on the rides. From Norway pavilion ceiling tiles to a severely handicapped Yeti to an Imagination pavilion that jumped the shark 12 years ago after it's first rehab, Disney just doesn't seem to really care. How hard is it to really address ceiling tiles? Where is the pride in one of the signature AA figures barely working? Disney gets away with much of this because we let them.
I hope Disney turns their thinking around soon. I think they have considered DL and WDW to be "mature products" and therefore TLC and capital improvements have been coming at a glacial pace. Hopefully the resurgance in DL popularity, especially with DCA's new found propularity, will be a lesson in the making that if they build it (and keep the product functioning) that we will pay premium for it.
There are two types of problem guests at WDW: the slob American who dresses like a pig and acts like one to boot. Throwing food and trash on the ground and allowing their kids to run wild. Then there are an increasing number of foreign guests who speak loudly in Spanish, interrupt productions/movies with their loud, obnoxious behavior and attempt to cut into lines. I have personally had to confront these people while they were acting thus.
But, the bottom line is that WDW can only attempt to lead by example. Keep cleaning up for the boorish in society in order to preserve you own dignity and provide a good experience to those among us who still care---and raise prices to hire more people to clean up after the slobs.
"We, as a country and society have changed from a polite, respectful people"
I would suggest that this 'reality' only existed in nostalgic recollections. Going back 50 years or so, I don't see much polite or respectful about bombing churches, do you?
The issue here is the increasing social rudeness, self-centeredness and entitlement that marks our culture. Blowing it off as non-existent -- claiming it is the result of "nostalgic recollections" -- ignores the enormous body of literature from psychologists, educators, anthropologists and others who have studied this subject. From corporations to kids, the last 15 years have seen an enormous growth in cultural narcissism.
However I agree that some parents need to take charge and educate their children on good manners and behaviors, and sadly I don't see much of that anymore.
But Disney parks as places of business that promote themselves as "magical" experiences, Disney management needs to understand that monitoring all visitors' behaviors and expecting them to follow posted regulations is unrealistic, therefore they should go beyond trying to offer enough staffing to keep parks clean during operating hours and keep their parks' maintenance under close scrutiny, especially since many of us with children pay A LOT of money to go visit these "magical" parks.
In the last 2 years, our party of 4 have visited Disney World and Tokyo Disney as well. We did see children climbing things all over Tokyo Disneyland (that happens everywhere not just Disney World). We did see very little trash simply because it appeared that Tokyo Disney employed 4 times as many custodial workers to keep things clean and pick up rubbish promptly, but I also witnessed employees approaching guests and asking them for safety compliance when unsafe behavior was seen. At Disney World, I never saw more than one custodial in a whole land, and never saw one single employee approach guests who were engaging in unsafe behavior. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. IMO, Disney World suffers from improper staffing levels and lack of good employee training, both of which appear to contribute to the problems you refer to, so it's unfair to pin the problem just on visitors' behaviors or trends. I also experienced the same deficiencies when we visited Disneyland Paris 4 years ago. I was shocked to see how European visitors there ate at restaurants and walked away without cleaning their mess and leaving discarded food and trash on tables instead of dropping their rubbish in trash receptacles, and more shocking was seeing the lack of custodial staff to attend to these problems. So Disneyland Paris is not different than Disney World. Management needs to take some credit for the lack of staffing and poor training that allow these problems to get out of hand.
One simple solution would be to embark on a comprehensive marketing strategy that visually requests visitors to take pride in "Help Keeping the Disney Parks clean". Cleverly placed visual reminders about cleanliness and cooperation on food and drink containers or near food outlets and restaurant tables may be a first step in educating guests to stop being pigs. That's how I have raised my kids at home to be mindful to clean after themselves.
I certainly agree that personal responsibility (including responsibility for your offspring) has become a thing of the past for too many people. However our experience with the last couple of trips to WDW is that litter and defacement were not the primary problem. The problem was a complete lack of maintenance. Whenever you have thousands of people in any particular space, it is going to get dirty... but they seem to have stopped bothering to care. Our last trip was late 2010. We stayed at All Stars, and I could not believe how bad it had gotten. The exteriors, themeing elements, etc looked like they had been bleached by the sun, like they were 20 years old. We have stayed at the same resort for over ten years, and there was a definite change from 2006 on. The entire resort had a run-down, forgotten feel. Downtown disney was almost as bad. In pretty much all the resorts and parks cobwebs and dust were everywhere, painted surfaces had rub marks and scuffs, carpets were vaccumed but looked, felt, and smelled like they had not been shampooed in several years. Upholstery was torn, details on trim were broken. One of the places that struck me as especially bad was Mickey's Philharmonic.. as soon as you walked into the theater the musty "old sock" smell was overwhelming. The carpets were stained and worn, seats were also stained and torn in places. We had four in our party, and the 4D effects (gusts of air and water mist) only worked for two of us. The sound was crackely, the screen had distortions. It was very sad, it used to be one of our favorite attractions. No amount of guest "help" will prevent the need for regular maintenance and deep cleaning. If something is broken, it needs to be fixed. The longer they let this stuff pile up, the more difficult it will be to fix. The attitude of "don't bother, they will keep coming anyway" seems to have become company policy, and one of these days someone is going to get hurt.
I hate to go there but, I have seen park employee dedication/courtesy/pride go down the drain at MK and DL. Employees use to work frantically to keep things clean, complete their duties, and do it in a respectful manner to guests. That sounds like a mouth full but 25 years ago that was considered the minimum. I am shocked with how many times I've seen employees leaning when they should be cleaning and acting rude to guests. Sounds like a lot of things need to be done but that should definitely be on the checklist: improve employee work output quality.

The peak of the Spice Girls' popularity has long passed, but Victoria Beckham – aka Posh Spice – still has massive media exposure. And Paris Hilton, who is famous for her lifestyle alone, makes world headlines daily.
A new psychology study helps explain why some stars burn bright, long, long after their talent has faded – if it ever was there to begin with.
Simply put, says Nathanael Fast of Stanford University in California, people need something to talk about. The human desire to find common ground in conversation pushes us to discuss already popular people, he says.
Fast's team focused not on gossip column celebrities, but on professional baseball players in the US
"We realised that there's a ton of stats and performance data available for baseball, so if we can show that famous or well-known baseball players become more prominent than unknown baseball players who perform just as well or better, we're able to make a convincing case," he says.
Many economists have argued that in the market of popular culture, quality marks the difference between popularity and obscurity. For instance, a 1991 study by William Hamlen Jr of the University at Buffalo, New York,found that an objective measure of vocal harmony predicted album sales, with Barbara Streisand coming out on top in both measures.
To determine if conversation could drive fame, independent of quality, Fast's team gave a list of eight baseball players with statistics on their previous season's performance to 33 male and 56 female volunteers. Volunteers picked a name from the list and drafted a short email to another person in the group about the player. In some cases, the volunteer was told that the person receiving the email was an avid fan.
More often than not, they found, volunteers conversed about popular but under-performing players like Ken Griffey Jr and Roger Clemens, rather than more obscure players who put up amazing numbers, such as Miguel Cabrera.
Volunteers who were baseball fans themselves tended to pick an obscure player if they thought they were emailing an expert. Yet the same fans tended to converse about prominent players when they didn't know anything about their correspondent.
"The very experts who could kind of inform everyone else don't. They actually keep feeding them the information they already know because that helps establish a connection," Fast says.
To test their theory on a grander scale, Fast and his colleagues examined the relationships between fan chatter on internet message boards, media coverage, and an objective measure of a player's popularity – fan balloting for the annual "All-Star" game. This mid-season contest pits the most popular players from baseball's two divisions against one another.
Players who garnered the most All-Star votes also received the most media coverage and message-board attention, Fast's team found. A statistical analysis, however, suggested that internet conversations, particularly on message boards not devoted to baseball, drove media coverage and All-Star game votes.
The best players, of course, were the most likely to garner All-Star votes. But all things considered, internet mentions by non-experts had as much of an effect on voting as performance, Fast's team found.

I am a HUGE fan of anime, manga, novels, movies, gaming, etc...
My favorite movie genres include Sci-fi and Comedy (parodies). Some of my favorite movies are: The Fugitive, Star Wars saga, Back to the Future trilogy, Mel Brooks' movies, etc. Some favorite game genres include RPG, Adventure, Action, and Fighting. Some favorite games are: Final Fantasy series, Legend of Zelda series, Dragon Age: Origins, Soul Calibur series, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, etc. Favorite novel and manga genres include action, comedy, fantasy, ecchi, and sci-fi. My favorite novel series to read are the Forgotten Realms and Star Wars.
Feel free to make suggestions as to anime, manga, movies, and novels that you think I would enjoy based on the genre.
4,352 total episodes
your 1-5 really hits the mark :D
Im watching Gintama right now and its hilarious at some points :P
Thanks! One Piece has enough epic moments to write one or two encyclopedias with, but this part is still one of my very favs (so is the part where they are all sent off the island)
Yup, I have, but I never really got around to reading it. There's an anime coming up in Spring, so perhaps that will encourage me to start the manga. The author actually worked under Hideaki Sorachi, so I'm interested to see what he got from his style.
Yeah I've read the War of the Spider Queen and loved it. I loaned my copy of Dissolution to a friend and he loaned it to another friend and now somehow neither of them has it =/ Haven't read the other two series you mentioned though; should I check them out? Haven't had time to read in forever.
No problem to find Gintama online, but I really wanted (and still want) to have the volumes... It's my second favorite series ever, after all.
As for MPD, yeah, it's great, and it keeps getting better with every new vol. I love it when a manga can keep a high level of violence without sacrificing an intrincate and really interesting storyline.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 01 December 2011 09:00AM
The AA's food division, the Food Advertising Unit, is believed to be conducting a study of the volume and nature of advertising to which children are exposed. It hopes that the research will help the industry combat claims that it is unduly influencing children.
The plan comes as the Department of Health's (DoH) 'Responsibility Deal' initiative, which encourages responsible behaviour by brands, shifts its focus from calorie-reduction toward advertising and promotions. In particular it involves drawing up criteria for good practice in food marketing.
The 'Responsibility Deal' has so far concentrated on encouraging people to eat fruit and vegetables, working with stakeholders such as fast-food brands and retailers to promote transparency in calorie content and more healthy-living messages.
Senior government adviser Dr Susan Jebb, head of nutrition and health research at the Medical Research Council, will be closely involved in the project, as will health minister Paul Burstow.
Current regulations state that food deemed to be high in fat, salt or sugar cannot be advertised during programmes watched mostly by children.
AA chief executive Tim Lefroy was among a group of industry leaders, including former COI chief executive Mark Lund and Advertising Standards Authority chief executive Guy Parker, who briefed David Cameron at Downing Street last month.
They discussed how the advertising industry is meeting recommendations made in the Bailey Review on the commercialisation of childhood and premature sexualisation of children. Issues raised included guidelines restricting the employment of under-16s as brand ambassadors and in peer-to-peer marketing.
The AA declined to comment. The DoH was unavailable for comment.

I went back and revisited your photo. It appears you are in a window seat and your jacket is up against the side of the plane. Where I live flying in small planes is the only option available. Usually 2 seats on one side and 1 the other. Seems your plane may be the same size. The Pilot still fits under the seat well but it is wider than I expected. No matter, its a great photo to understand the scale.
Thank you for the pictures and the chuckle from "Embassy Suites bedspread". It's pretty amazing what you can get into the Pilot and while I'm on the fence between that and a Synapse/WF for a personal item, this is leading me to believe the Pilot might be the right choice for me. Love the Jackery Bar too. I have the same one and it comes in handy.
After looking over your packing list, I'm just curious how you fit two organizer cubes in one front pocket. Mine don't seem to do that. What orientation are they? (i.e., I'm guessing they are slotted one in front of the other, and neither is overly full.)

Boys basketball: Treasure Coast tries for first regional playoff win
Titans take 5th try at first regional win
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Treasure Coast High School boys basketball team won the first district title in the program's seven-year history last week.
Now the Titans are looking to add another first.
Treasure Coast (18-5) hosts Winter Park (17-10) in the Region 2-8A quarterfinals Thursday, trying for its first regional playoff victory, while Martin County and Master's Academy also play home games.
The Titans are 0-4 in regional quarterfinals.
"Getting that district title definitely was big not just for the basketball program but for the entire school," Titans coach Brad Lehman said. "It's been a point of pride that our boys soccer team won a district title, then the girls basketball team followed up with another one, and boys basketball sealed the deal as well. We've been in the district championship four of the last seven years, so to get that monkey off our back was a big deal.
"Now, hopefully, we can keep it going and get another one off our back."
Treasure Coast has come a long way since last season when it finished 13-10 with an upset loss at the hands of five-win St. Lucie West Centennial in the district semifinals.
The Titans haven't lost since Dec. 29, after going 1-2 in a holiday tournament in Miami. A 16-game win streak was highlighted by a Jan. 19 win at Royal Palm Beach, a 65-43 win that Lehman said helped them "realize how good we were."
Treasure Coast also took Martin County to double-overtime, only to fall 91-88 on Dec. 20. The Tigers were undefeated at the time.
"We learned a lot from that game," senior guard Kyle Shapiro said. "And then right after that, we went to a tournament in Miami that had some of the best teams in South Florida, and we lost two of three games. Those were eye-opening. Since then, we haven't lost."
Shapiro and fellow seniors Justin Nichols and Garrett Kent have been a big part of the team's success, Lehman said. The three have been best friends since freshman year and add a unique kind of chemistry to the mix.
They also have accounted for 61 percent of the team's points. Nichols, a guard, averages 16.6 points, Kent adds 10.9 points per game, and Shapiro contributes 10.0 points.
"The difference this year has been an overall team commitment to fundamental goals and the things we hold to be important, but the seniors embraced and embodied that and it's trickled down to our underclassmen," Lehman said. "We have 15 guys on the roster, and all 15 bought in to what we have accomplished. The three seniors lead the way."
Lehman especially will need the seniors to lead the way Thursday, as Winter Park brings a history of success. The Wildcats made the Final Four two of the last three years, including a championship in 2011, and were the top seed in their district last week but came up short against Orlando-University (15-11), which hosts Vero Beach on Thursday.
"Our most important thing on Thursday is going to come down to playing defense," Lehman said. "We have to be able to guard the ball and help each other out and get defensive stops. They have several guards that make it happen, and we have to have guys willing to take ownership of the defensive side of the floor and hopefully turn that into easy offense for us. It's going to be a challenge, but it's a challenge we are up for."

Riverside County and San Bernardino County to the north form this metro area. Like many such metro areas in the Southwest, it extends far into uninhabited desert areas, in this case east through the Mojave Desert to the Nevada/Arizona border. Larger than nine U.S. states, it is often referred to as the Inland Empire. Cities in the western portion, including Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, and a patchwork of other communities, are developed suburbs of the Los Angeles area with a rapidly growing and increasingly self-sufficient economy.
Suburbs along the I-10 corridor, including Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana and Colton tend to be more commercial, while others off the main roads and against the area's many mountain ranges, like Loma Linda, Chino Hills and many parts of Riverside are more residential. Ontario is also the site of one of the LA area's best airports with considerable discount air service. Old mansions, public buildings, and packing sheds serve as evidence of the orange-growing industry that once dominated the area, but these have been long since surrounded by housing developments, industrial parks, and commercial/retail centers. Farther east through a mountain gap lie the resort communities of Palm Springs and Palm Desert.
Today the main economic activities include a host of diversified light manufacturing, international trade and offices of overseas companies. Although rising rapidly, costs of living and housing remain relatively affordable for comparable areas in Los Angeles and Southern California. The area is now facing many of the same issues confronting Los Angeles as a whole- overcrowding, sprawl, poor air quality, and long freeway commutes. Bottom line: this area offers many Southern California advantages while bringing the negatives in somewhat smaller doses.
The area is semiarid to arid with dry valleys surrounded by desert mountain ranges. Most of the valley floor to the west is developed. Moving east, coastal grasses and brush give way to desert foliage, including brush, creosote bush, and cactus. The climate varies by altitude and distance from the Pacific Ocean. Summers are warm in the western portion of the counties to extremely hot and dry eastward. Evenings, consistent with the desert climate and with some marine cooling, are comfortable. Winters are mild and mostly dry, but most annual precipitation, including rainy spells, occurs during this season. There are a few days each winter with below-freezing temperatures, but many winters are frost-free. Snow is rare but can occur.

I know some were upset when we traded him for Eddie G. but it doesnt look like anyones too high on him as he cleared waivers.
Per Rotoworld:
Mariners sent RHP Travis Chick outright to Triple-A Tacoma.
Chick had options remaining, so it's surprising that he cleared waivers. Maybe there's an injury we don't know about. Chick was the only player the Mariners got back from the Reds for Eddie Guardado in July. The 22-year-old has been a disappointment the last two years, but he could be interesting again if he's switched to the pen.

Reviews for the Dell Latitude E4310
Business Companion. Any manufacturer that wants to be a true business retailer, has to be able to offer high-quality notebooks in all the current formats. Of increasingly importance is the 13 inch form factor, which is becoming more popular for mobile applications. Dell has provided the E4310 for this segment
Source: CNet
The Dell Latitude E4310 is an ultra-portable that's targeted at business users who need a small and light machine for use on the road. Priced at around £1,400, it's quite expensive, so does it do enough to justify its high price tag? The 13.3-inch Dell Latitude E4310 has plenty of grunt under the bonnet, but it's a little too big and bulky for our liking. It's a fairly speedy machine, but does that justify the asking price?

An integrated graphics card (GMA HD 3150) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.56 kg: This sub-notebook weighs less than the average of all notebooks and represents a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

text: U.S. aerial skier, Jeret "Speedy" Peterson, 28, has a reputation for being a rebel. The self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie, who's been on the U.S. ski team for 10 years, was forced to leave the Torino Olympics early after being arrested for having a drunken bar fight. On top of what's probably a hot head, Jeret recently went bankrupt after investing his savings plus money from a lucky gambling run into real estate. Despite all else, Jeret remains the only aerial skier to do the daring "hurricane" stunt on the slopes. Now if the team can keep him away from hurricanes in the bar, we may may have a winner at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

As I Lay Dying are an American MetalCore band that formed in 2000. They are named after [[Literature/AsILayDying the book of the same name]]. They have released 6 albums, Awakened being their latest release. On their first two albums, they had a more standard sound, though they would add elements of MelodicDeathMetal beginning with the widely acclaimed ''Shadows are Security'' and ThrashMetal in their music starting with "An Ocean Between Us", which has been so far been regarded by fans as [[MagnumOpus their best work to date]].
Frontman Tim Lambesis also runs the Comedy[=/=]Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger tribute band Austrian Death Machine, which plays ThrashMetal[=/=]Crossover with the same metalcore influences as well as the DeathMetal band Pyrithion
On May 7, 2013, frontman Tim Lambesis was arrested for allegedly trying to hire a hitman to kill his wife. He initially plead not guilty, but eventually switched his plea to guilty and was sentenced to six years in prison on May 16, 2014. The band is currently on hiatus, with Lambesis and Mancino being the only members who are technically still a part of it. It remains to be seen whether As I Lay Dying will ever be active again in some form after Lambesis' prison sentence is served; given that the remaining members went on to form Wovenwar with Shane Blay of Oh, Sleeper and have been met with a decent amount of success (and also given their visible disgust with Lambesis's actions and indications that the behavior displayed there was not new), a reunion seems very unlikely.
!!!Current Members
* Tim Lambesis (lead vocals) (2000-)
* Jordan Mancino (drums) (2000-)
!!!Notable Past Members
* Nick Hipa (guitars) (2004-2014)
* Josh Gilbert (bass + vocals) (2007-2014)
* Phil Sgrosso (guitars) 2003-2014)
* ''Beneath the Encasing of Ashes'' (2001)
* ''Frail Words Collapse'' (2003)
* ''Shadows are Security'' (2005)
* ''[[NewSoundAlbum An Ocean Between us]]'' (2007)
* ''The Powerless Rise'' (2010)
* ''Awakened'' (2012)
!!Tropes associated with this Band:
* ChristianMetal / NotChristianRock: Despite the lack of overtly religious lyrics, they had embraced the "Christian band" label for most of their career, as all five members were Christian. However, many fans noticed that the lyrics to some tracks from ''Awakened'' expressed heavy skepticism and criticism of Christianity and religion and general. After the events that led to his arrest and guilty plea, Tim elaborated that a severe crisis of faith had caused him to briefly identify as an atheist, and that he had since returned to the faith.
* CoverVersion: "War Ensemble" by Music/{{Slayer}}, "Electric Eye" by Music/JudasPriest, and Coffee Mug by Descendants
* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to other bands of the same genre.
* DrugsAreBad: It turns out Lambesis was using steroids as an aid for his body building...needless to say, [[http://www.ryansrockshow.com/php2/news/13773-tim-lambesis-bail-lowered-admits-to-steroid-use.html it didn't turn out well]]
* LaResistance: The music video for The Sound of Truth.
* LeadBassist: Josh is a type B and arguable type C as he is the most well known bassist in AILD's history.
* LyricalDissonance: The music itself is quite hard, even for {{Metalcore}} standards, but the lyrics are more on the depressing, sad side rather than on the aggressive one.
* MetalScream: This is Lambesis's specialty.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: About a 9 most of the time,though they can hit a solid 10.
* NewSoundAlbum: Arguable. The band stills play the same genre, but the thrash influences were heard in An Ocean Between Us.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/25069897/Tim+Lambesis+TimLambesis1.jpg Lambesis]] in 2010 compared to him in [[http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/579555_204455583009292_152128986_n.jpghttp://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/579555_204455583009292_152128986_n.jpg 2012]]. Yes, that's him. Sadly, it also came with a ''huge'' TookALevelInJerkass.
* ThePowerOfRock: The music video for the cover of Electric Eye
* TheSociopath: After his arrest, Hipa publicly called Lambesis a psychopath and said that the behavior on display was not new, and that while they never expected him to go ''quite'' that far, it wasn't inconceivable.
* SopranoAndGravel: Tim Lambesis does the harsh vocals while Josh Gilbert does the clean singing.
* ThrashMetal: They have elements of in in their recent work.
** Averted slightly with their latest record.

Kernel Development Weather Forecast
The Linux Foundation now offers a page with information on current and planned kernel development dubbed the "Linux Weather Forecast".
The page lists and explains current kernel features. It also gives users a sneak preview of features which will be making their way into the official kernel, or the kernels of major distributions, in the future, and it provides links to sites with more details. The page's "Head Meteorologist" is Jonathan Corbet, the editor in chief of commercial Linux news service provider, LWN.
Readers of Kerneltrap.org or LWN will probably be familiar with the content of the page, according to a comment by US online journal Ars Technica. The target audience is Linux users who already possess basic knowledge of underlying kernel technologies, but do not subscribe to mailing lists or other information services to keep up to date with kernel development.

NORTH CREEK In our hectic world, with time at a premium, overscheduling the norm, and electronic communication replacing human contact, its tough to get a good dose of relaxation. But not to worryan antidote has emerged!
The fourth annual Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival promises to be a memorable shindig. At the Ski Bowl Park, Friday to Sunday, Aug. 24-26, nine bands will put on a remarkable show. The bands include: The Gibson Brothers, Goldwing Express, Smokey Greene, Al & Kathy Bain, Acoustic Blue, String Dusters, Bear Tracks, Dave Nichols & Spare Change, and John Hudson & Friends. The music starts Friday at 2:30 p.m. and continues nearly nonstop until Sunday at 5 p.m., with only a few essential breaks for field pickin.
If youre not familiar with bluegrass music, it may be worth a listen. Its upbeat tempos, acoustic purity ,and relatable lyrics induce a much-needed happiness that soothes away stress. And next weekend you can experience all that and more in North Creek.
The term bluegrass comes from Kentuckian Bill Monroes band, The Blue Grass Boys, who appeared on the Grand Ole Opry in 1939. The genre formed from a fusion of old-time country, blues, gospel, and Scots-Irish traditional music. It featured distinctive vocal harmonies, melodic turns by each instrument and jazzlike improvisation. Then in 1945, banjo player Earl Scruggs, now 83, brought a fresh sound to bluegrass with his original three-finger picking style.
TV and film soundtracks of such films as The Beverly Hillbillies, Bonnie and Clyde, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and the classic hit song Dueling Banjos from Deliverance brought bluegrass to wider audiences. Fans grew as festivals began springing up in the 1960s to become popular weekend retreats for unwinding and connecting with friends.
Festival co-chairs, Joel Beaudin, of North River, and Rusty Leigh, a lifelong Johnsburg resident, along with Lloyd Burch, Larry Carr, and Mary Lou Cole recently formed Upper Hudson Festivals Inc., a not-for-profit organization. Their mission is to entertain by offering top-quality music while bringing new people and business into the area. Theyre also committed to awarding community grants and promoting musical arts through local school programs. Looking to the future, they are currently securing bands for next years extravaganza.

My firefox which is the last truly secure version that I am aware of has started updating itself without changing its version number. It updates the add-on manager which shuts down my flash player requiring me to update to less secure versions of flash It is now allowing no-right click scripts to actually not allow me to pull up the right click menu on webpages or restrict the options displayed according to the no-right click script that is running. Why is my version of Firefox more secure? it is farther away from the OS it does not interact with explorer and it has its own Java control. Newer versions of Firefox are almost as bad or worse than Internet Explorer which is now being abandoned by Microsoft due to all of its security bugs that have mostly to do with how closely it interacts with the OS. I want a BROWSER not a window into my systems OS for the entire world to use to try and get into it. I want the BROWSER to only BROWSE the internet not download things automatically, not shutdown my plugins without asking, not allow poorly coded scripts to execute code on my machine (including no-right click scripts). I need to know how to STOP my firefox from updating the addon manager. How to keep it from allowing IE only code from running as it has now started allowing no-right click scripts to execute.
My version is 18.0.1
I will not go past this version, I want to STOP it from accepting ANY and ALL UPDATES including to the ADDON manager! in my advanced tab I have already checked the button to Never check for updates, that is not working!

text: When Greenville's Kenny Trader's pro basketball career was cut short six years ago after he was diagnosed with the heart muscle disease-hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, initially he didn't know what to expect. "I had to educate myself about the disease. There was so much unknown about it," says Trader. What he eventually found out was he could still play basketball, but not competitively. "I can work out and play ball. l just can't over do it. As long as I'm intelligent about it, I'm OK." But what he's not OK with is the absence of testing for the disorder on the junior and high school levels. "This affects not only adults, but kids also die from this. The problem is school districts don't have the funds. But, I think every school should have testing for it." When Trader isn't promoting awareness about the disease, you can find him spreading his message about life after sports. He admits the moment he stopped playing was like a wake up call for him. "When you're searching for your path and never thought what your life would look like after basketball, the road ahead could be scary. He adds, "At 31-years old and you're looking down that tunnel, you say to yourself 'what am I going to do?' Kenny answered that question by earning a business degree. Currently, he's pursing a MBA. He stresses to kids to put education first. "Basketball is fun, but so is becoming a doctor or going into the legal force. There are so many options for kids to be anything they want to be. They have to work hard and take initiative. They have to understand that life has to be about more than sports."

Fracking is still banned here, but the U-S Geological Survey is creating a measuring stick by which those impacts could be judged.

DuPont™ Energain™ battery separators are produced into a web using a proprietary spinning process that creates continuous filaments with diameters between 200 and 1,000 nanometers. Within the batteries, a separator is a sheet positioned between the two electrodes. It functions as a barrier that prevents the electrodes from touching while letting lithium ions pass back and forth to allow the charge and discharge of the battery.
Here are specific areas of battery performance improvement:
High Temperature Stability
- Low Shrinkage – consistent resistance over time
- Suitable for high temperature operation
- Improved abuse tolerance – improved safety
Power and Long Term Performance
- Improved rate capability (high power) 15-30% improvements
- Good cycle life (long term stability)
- Good chemical resistance
Good Wettability
- Improved ion transfer
- Production Improvements
- Better battery life
Batteries containing Energain™ separators can be quickly recharged, deliver improved performance and reduce the number of batteries needed by up to one-third for hybrid vehicles.

Orlando Magic center Gustavo Ayon will miss the next two weeks with a sprained left thumb, coach Jacque Vaughn said Wednesday. "(It's) a good thing it happened now and early, and he can continue his conditioning and hopefully get right back into the fold after those few weeks," Vaughn told the Orlando Sentinel. Ayon appeared ticketed to be the backup center behind Nik Vucevic. Vaughn said the injury to Ayon will not affect the final roster decisions heading into next week's opening game. Ayon, who is wearing a splint, said he has no pain in the thumb. He sustained the injury during the first quarter of Monday's preseason game against San Antonio Spurs.

- at Kentucky 27 … Central Michigan 13
CFN Analysis: COMING
(AP) LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Josh Clemons scored on an 87-yard run, and Morgan Newton ran in a fourth-quarter touchdown to seal Kentucky's 27-13 comeback win over Central Michigan on Saturday.
On Clemons' score, he ran inside and bounced off a tackler before he sprinted down the right sideline. His touchdown run became the longest in school history for a freshman, and the longest for a UK player of any class since Bernie Scruggs ran for 88 yards on Oct. 24, 1970.
Central Michigan controlled the first half, leading 13-6 at halftime. The Chippewas had outgained Kentucky, 227 yards to 94, and controlled possession for just over 19 minutes in the first two quarters. They took a 3-0 lead early on a 19-yard field goal by David Harman and Kentucky answered on the next possession with a 45-yard Craig McIntosh field goal.
With 1:19 left in the first quarter, Central Michigan scored its only touchdown on a 24-yard pass from Ryan Radcliff to Jerry Harris. Harman hit a 30-yard field goal in the second quarter to give the Chippewas their biggest lead. They did not score for the rest of the game.
The Wildcats' offense had opportunities in the first half but never came away with more than a field goal. UK linebacker Danny Trevathan intercepted Radcliff and returned it 28 yards to the Central Michigan 11-yard line. With 1st and 10, Kentucky went three-and-out, and McIntosh missed a 24-yard field-goal attempt off the right upright.
But in the third quarter, Newton woke up the offense. He led a drive that ended in a 34-yard touchdown pass to La'Rod King with 4:07 left to tie the game at 13.
Clemons' touchdown run gave the Wildcats (2-0) their first lead of the game in the third quarter. He became the first Wildcats freshman to record a 100-yard rushing game since Arliss Beach in 2002.
Newton added a 1-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-goal play to give the Wildcats a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter.
Ryan Radcliff threw for 295 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for the Chippewas (1-1).

Get Tickets For This Game
Here's The Deal … These two played a fun, wild game in 2006 with Kentucky beating Central Michigan in a 45-36 shootout. But that was a different Chippewa team, and it's trying to get back to a MAC title level after a down 2010, while Kentucky is coming off a sleepy, ineffective win over Western Kentucky and has to try to regain the firepower it showed off the last time CMU came to town five years ago.
UK is still trying to find itself. It's trying to come up with a steady passing game, it's hoping for quarterback Morgan Newton to grow into the top talent many have been expecting him to become, and while the defense had a good performance, there's plenty of tightening up to do in several areas before the meant of the schedule starts to kick in. With a rivalry date with Louisville next week, and Florida, at LSU, and at South Carolina to follow, this is as easy as it'll get for a long stretch.
CMU came up with an easy 21-6 win over South Carolina State to kick off the season, but the offense didn't exactly look like it was back to the old Dan LeFevour days. Second-year head coach Dan Enos is coming off a miserable rookie year, but life isn't going to be easy with this game kicking off a run of three straight road games and seven in the next nine before closing out at home against Ohio and Toledo. No, this isn't the MAC title-contender of past years, but it's good enough to make this a game if UK plays like it did against WKU.
Why Central Michigan Might Win: Where's the Kentucky offense? Western Kentucky isn't exactly Alabama on defense, but it held the Wildcat attack to just 190 yards and didn't allow a thing through the air. The UK offensive line struggled against the aggressiveness of the Hilltopper front, and if CMU can get aggressive and if it can take a few chances, it has the potential shut down the offense for long stretches. The Chippewas are trying to get their linebackers in place, but the secondary can move and the front seven is ultra-athletic. They should be able to swarm around the UK running game and should be able to hang with the receivers just enough to confuse Newton.
Why Kentucky Might Win: … Where's the Central Michigan offense? South Carolina State isn't South Carolina, but the Chippewas weren't able to move the ball well enough to make it a breather, and there were way too many problems on third downs. The defense never let it become a game, but the pass protection was spotty and the running game wasn't there, finishing with just 88 yards and a score. CMU won't be able to run the ball a lick against a UK defensive front that held WKU's great back Bobby Rainey to a hard-earned 105 yards on 28 carries. After stuffing Kawaun Jakes and the Hilltopper passing game with four picks and allowing just 93 yards, the Wildcat pass defense is in midseason form. Now it gets to face an interception machine in …
What To Watch Out For: Chippewa quarterback Ryan Radcliff is supposed to grow into a yardage machine, but he had a rough first game barely hitting half his passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns with two picks. While he has a tremendous arm and great upside, he also has a penchant for giving the ball to the other team. CMU has to be nearly perfect to have a chance to win, and Radcliff has to be error-free.
Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly deserved the Butkus Award last year, but he's been strangely overlooked by the national media. That's a little bit understandable considering he plays in the Big East, but Kentucky's Danny Trevathan has been on the big SEC stage for years and he still can't get any semblance of respect despite being among the nation's best defenders. The 6-1, 230-pound weakside defender followed up an 82-tackle season with a team leading 144 tackles with three sacks and 16 tackles for loss. A 2010 CFN All-American, he's a speedster with tremendous toughness and limitless range. Last week, he owned WKU with 13 tackles, and he'll be front and center for the run defense against CMU.
What Will Happen: It's not going to be a scintillating game, but it'll be an effective one for Kentucky. After not doing nearly enough for the ground game last week, the Wildcat offensive line will control this week's game and should help take the pressure off Newton. CMU will give the ball away at least four times turning a relatively tight battle into a double-digit Cat win.
CFN Prediction: Kentucky 31 … Central Michigan 13
