Eye-Fi Mobi automatically sends your camera photos to your phone or tablet wirelessly
Eye-Fi has been the pioneer in Wi-Fi SD cards for years and now it's announced a new device called the Eye-Fi Mobi that works with phones and tablets.
The Mobi has built-in Wi-Fi so you can transmit photos and videos directly from your camera to your smartphone or tablet. You won't even need to be connected to a network, because it's direct.
READ: Eye-Fi news hub
The idea behind this is that people use their phone camera over a higher-quality shooter because it's easier to share the images on social media sites and in emails. But that means sacrificing the quality of those photos and videos.
Matt DiMaria, CEO of Eye-Fi, says: "Eye-Fi Mobi is our most user friendly card to date and it is designed for photography enthusiasts who seek a solution without compromise - high-quality photos and videos combined with the instant online delivery of the smartphone."
All you have to do is replace your SD card with Eye-Fi Mobi, download the app on your iOS or Android device and pair the two. Then all your snaps and videos will be sent automatically to your phone or tablet instantly.
Eye-Fi works with thousands of cameras and many have integrated support in the devices themselves.
The Eye-Fi Mobi costs £42 for 8GB, £52 for 16GB and £72 for 32GB.

Europe at risk of 'missing the boat' on nanoelectronics, report says
Despite concerted efforts by public officials, European patent applications lag behind other major players in nanotechnology, such as the US and Far East, a recent report indicates. In their first ever Nanotechnology Report, UK-based patent firm Marks & Clerk took a survey of patent application trends across the globe. They studied patent activity across sectors where nanotechnology is expected to produce the next major wave of innovation, such as nanoelectronics, nanoenergy, and nanotechnology in health and personal care. When it comes to nanoelectronics, the report warns that "Europe is in danger of missing the boat."

The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) Wire Rope workgroup has held three Wire Rope Workshops, the fourth in the series 'Optimum System Design for High Value Subsea Construction Ropes' will be held 18 March 2014 at the Radisson Blu Hotel at Amsterdam Airport.
"Our biannual Wire Rope Workshops are proving extremely relevant and interesting. Over 90 attended the last one in Amsterdam in October which focused on the lubrication of high value subsea construction ropes; others have looked at high value wire rope issues, and at non-destructive testing" explains IMCA's Technical Director, Jane Bugler.
"The March event will embrace the operators' view of current and future system requirements; the system designer's approach for wire rope interaction (storage, routing, winches, sheaves and active heave systems); rope qualification methods for specific systems; fully integrated monitoring systems and interaction with rope system; and multi-fail and parallel winch systems in deep water.
"There are a number of 'hot topics' that will undoubtedly make it onto the Workshop agenda," she adds. These include:
Workshop sessions will allow attendees to get fully involved with the discussion on relevant topics including what is required by the subsea construction industry; the approach taken by the wire rope and system designers; what is being developed to overcome the increasing future requirements; and how the theory can be used or developed further to bring solutions to optimum design for rope life, system size and performance.
Typical attendance at previous events had included representatives from various subsea contractors, wire rope manufacturers, system designers / suppliers, equipment suppliers and academic institutes, all eager to further the discussion within the industry on requirements, opportunities and future development requirements.

On Cutting A Deal To Avert The Fiscal Cliff
Here's the reality of the situation.
— The economy is in bad shape and it's conceivable that going over the fiscal cliff could push it into recession, although nobody really knows one way or the other.
— Going over the fiscal cliff is probably the best hope for deficit reduction we'll have in the next four years.
— We're being told that Republicans will be blamed if we go over the fiscal cliff and that may be so. However, the Republicans always seem to be blamed, so what else is new?
— Publicly at least, the Democrats don't seem to be making any sort of serious attempt to avoid the cliff. They're refusing to continue the status quo, they're offering nothing of significance in return for tax increases and Barack Obama is on vacation. In fact, the Democrat strategy seems to be to go over the cliff and play it for politic's sake.
Republicans in Congress have received all sorts of advice on how to handle this and here's mine: A good deal is better than no deal, but no deal is better than a bad deal.
Just as Barack Obama was reelected, Republicans were reelected to control the House. So, John Boehner has every bit as much of a mandate as Barack Obama to deal with the situation as he sees fit. In an ideal world, we wouldn't go over the fiscal cliff, but if this were an ideal world, Barack Obama wouldn't be President and people like Nancy Pelosi would be considered unelectable.
However, in the real world that we're in, the Republican base is going to be unhappy if the party raises taxes and that would do as much political damage, if not more, than the Democrats' transparent attempts to engineer a crisis so they can blame Republicans for it. That doesn't mean the GOP shouldn't cut a deal, but it does mean that if they do, it needs to be a genuine compromise, not a Republican cave-in. If the Democrats want tax increases, are they willing to cut spending NOW? Are they willing to put real entitlement reform on the table? If the answer is, "No," they're only willing to offer small spending cuts or will only agree to offer spending cuts in the future, then offer to continue things "as is." If they refuse that offer, then go over the cliff and point the finger where it belongs — at the President of the United States.
Barack Obama has spent four years engaging in the most hamfisted partisanship we've seen since the Nixon years even as he's claimed to be a bipartisan reformer. He apparently intends to keep that up throughout his second term and that cannot be allowed. Republicans should represent the people who sent them to the House by cooperating if it's in the best interests of the country and saying, "No," when it isn't.

This vase is a radio. This radio is an elegant vase. Both are beautiful lies, because it is yet another heartbreakingly unavailable prototype and you can't actually put flowers into it. Designed by Celia Torvisco and Raphael Pluvinage, the Hibou Radio is a smooth and tactile radio with a subtle and conductive paint job.
The ceramic base is screen printed with palladium in carefully arranged patterns, allowing you to control power, volume and channel with gentle finger swipes. While the materials and techniques involved are pointedly oldschool, the tactile interactivity feels like modern tech objects anyway. If you don't naturally want to touch this thing I don't know who you are anymore.
The shape is a little like a funeral urn crossed with a discarded shuttle tank, positioning it well as a Design Object worth noticing. Its pronounced new/old vibe is understandable: as they describe it "this project was...imagined during a workshop entitled 'Craftsmanship and Modernity' in partnership with 'Sevres – Cite de la ceramique'..." Clearly I am very astute. I am also very likely to be disappointed, because despite their care in craftsmanship and ingenuity I cannot have this thing.

There are hundreds of areas where Kiwis suspect they outshine their Australian counterparts, but the one probably least likely to come to mind is aged care.
Yet that's what the New Zealand Aged Care Association reports, as an increasing number of Australian retirement firms ask the industry body to arrange tours of Kiwi retirement villages.
The draw, says chief executive Martin Taylor, is our mixed care model, which incorporates residential and hospital facilities on the same property.
The model is used by listed retirement firms Ryman Healthcare, Summerset and Metlifecare among others, and lets providers deliver medical support to retirees in their homes.
As well, the villages can sell premium services to retirees, a profitable revenue stream.
That contrasts with Australia where a more prescriptive regulatory regime restricts where firms can build retirement care facilities, what services are allowed there, and who can occupy them.
"The New Zealand model developed where people said I've got a unit in a village and I am really happy, so why can't I have rest home care delivered here? Why should I shift 50 metres for those services?" Taylor said.
Wellington-based operator Summerset said it regularly gets tour requests from foreign investors, mostly from Australia, but also as far afield as China and the United Kingdom.
A spokesperson for the firm said there is high interest across the sector.
Cam Ansell, national head of aged care at Grant Thornton in Australia, said Australian investors expect regulation to start easing in the next five to 10 years.
The Australian government will realise "the next generation of consumers won't be told what they can and can't do with their money," Ansell said.
He said the New Zealand approach was among the best in the world, which was why it was attracting international interest, but changes could improve it further.
Under the present New Zealand model, consumers buy occupation rights to a room, bed or villa in a retirement village for the rest of their lives. Once they die or give up the rights, it is resold to a new customer.
This is a highly profitable capital gain for retirement village operators, as all the development costs are typically covered by the first sale, although the fair value of the asset is decreased because of age and wear and tear.
In New Zealand, occupation rights typically decrease in value by a set proportion every year, say 5 per cent, so that a retiree leaving the village after 10 years would receive about half of the value back.
In Australia, consumers can make a capital contribution to their accommodation above and beyond the occupation right.
That means when it is resold they, or their family, receive the value of the occupation rights (if any remains), plus a capital return proportionate to how much they put in. The advantage for retirement firms is that they don't have to wait for a decade or more before they see a return on their capital.

Closing Time: Red Sox hold on, beat Royals
|08.26.12 at 5:14 pm ET
The Red Sox' season might be over, but don't tell them that.
After completing one of the most monumental trades in team history on Saturday, the Red Sox are looking toward the future. And on Sunday, that future was on full display. Pedro Ciriaco put together yet another impressive performance while a pair of Red Sox players making their Boston debuts — first baseman James Loney and relief pitcher Pedro Beato — made an impact in the team's 8-6 victory over the Royals at Fenway Park.
Felix Doubront, making his return from the disabled list, was inconsistent, pitching just five innings and allowing four earned runs while striking out seven, but the offense once again picked up the slack, racking up 14 hits and putting across eight runs.
Here's what went right and wrong for the Red Sox in the win over the Royals.
'¢ Ciriaco continued his impressive season by going 3-for-5 with two RBIs from the leadoff spot, including a mammoth solo homer ' his second career round-tripper ' in the fifth that cleared the Green Monster seats and smacked off the AAA Auto Insurance sign.
Ciriaco is hitting .360 this season and has 17 hits in his last 35 at-bats. His hitting streak is at six games.
'¢ Dustin Pedroia gave the Red Sox some insurance in the eighth inning, crushing a solo home run over the Green Monster to extend the Sox' lead to 8-6. It was his 12th home run of the season and third in August.
'¢ Pedro Beato, in his Red Sox debut, relieved Doubront and pitched two impressive scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out two in the sixth and seventh innings before putting together a rocky eighth inning.
'¢ Loney, who was acquired in Saturday's blockbuster deal, recorded his first career Red Sox hit in the fifth, singling through the right side to score Jacoby Ellsbury, which tied the game at 4-4 at that point.
'¢ Doubront ran into a bit of trouble in the third inning, but got out of it unscathed. With one out, Ciriaco made an impressive stop at third on a fast shorthop, but threw it into right field while trying to get a force out at second, which allowed Lorenzo Cain to advance to third.
The Royals were denied runs, however, after Doubront forced Alex Gordon into a foul out to Ciriaco before striking out Billy Butler swinging to end the inning.
'¢ Cody Ross opened up the scoring in the first inning with an RBI single that found its way through the left side of the infield. The play was set up after Pedroia hit a lazy blooper over Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer's head that landed just inside the right field line to put him and Ciriaco ' who singled to begin the game ' in scoring position with one out.
It was Ross's 64th RBI of the season, which ranks second on the Red Sox this season behind the recently departed Adrian Gonzalez.
'¢ After getting two quick outs to start the fourth, Doubront was unable to evade trouble like he did in the third as he gave up four consecutive hits to let the Royals take a 4-2 advantage. Back-to-back singles from Johnny Giavotella and Hosmer got things going before Tony Abreu singled home Giavotella, who narrowly beat Ross's throw from right on a play at the plate.
The Royals weren't through, as Cain followed Abreu by blasting a three-run home run, his sixth of the year, into the Monster seats to give the Royals the lead.
'¢ Bobby Valentine was ejected for the fifth time this season after a questionable call in the fifth inning. With one out, Pedroia hit a grounder to third and was called out on a close play at first. Valentine raced out from his spot in the dugout immediately to argue the call with first base umpire Dan Bellino, then got even more testy after Bellino threw him out and exited to a roaring applause from the fans at Fenway Park.
'¢ After two scoreless innings to begin his Red Sox career, Beato gave up a pair of singles and then a walk, loading the bases to begin the eighth inning. Craig Breslow relieved him, but couldn't keep the Royals off the board as he gave up two runs that closed the lead to 7-6.
'¢ Mauro Gomez was the only Red Sox hitter to not get a hit. He went 0-for-2 with two walks.

REVIEW: Last year, PC World reviewed a little mobile game from Wellington studio PikPok called Monsters Ate My Condo.
That game, while simple in concept, was great fun. There were monsters of different colours, and condos of different colours.
The monsters were hungry and you had to feed them condos of the appropriate colour from a tower in the middle, by swiping condos in the direction of the monster.
While feeding them, you also had to line up matches of three or more condos of the same colour in that tower. Doing so would earn you 'special' condos that could be used to activate monsters' abilities.
The core mechanics of its BAFTA-nominated sequel, Super Monsters Ate My Condo, are exactly the same as that first game. Same monsters, much of the same music and artwork, same fat lady singing when the game is over (no, really).
The difference is that Super Monsters Ate My Condo introduces a progression system.
Instead of playing the same game over and over again, you're working toward goals and accomplishing them. To progress, you might have to earn a certain number of points, activate a certain monster's power, or line up a certain number of matches.
Each game has a time limit of two minutes, but you can also fail in a couple of other ways.
There are special nuke condos, which you have to neutralise by making a match near them. If you don't and the nuke explodes, it's game over. You can also trigger the game over screen if your tower falls down, which it can do if you're not careful when swiping away your condos.
Like the original game, Super Monsters Ate My Condo is a great time-waster, and quickly overtook Peggle as my mobile game of choice for bus rides.
But it has a steep difficulty curve - it only took me a few levels before I got stuck playing the same one over and over and over.
That said, in the first game it wouldn't have bothered me, because every time I played I was essentially playing the same game again and again regardless.
It only bothers me now because it makes progressing difficult.
Super Monsters Ate My Condo is a free game, and earns its money through microtransactions.
Fortunately, they're not annoying ones - you can absolutely play through the game, and keep playing, without purchasing a thing.
The in-game currency is gold coins, which can be used to purchase boosts or skip objectives that you're finding too difficult.
But Super Monsters Ate My Condo gives you plenty of that currency to get by and have a good time without busting out your credit card.
You've got nothing to lose by downloading Super Monsters Ate My Condo and giving it a try.
It's silly, and fun, and like the first game it has Adult Swim written all over it.

Rolling Stones 2015!
Hey I've said some not so kind things about the Rolling Stones. I admit it. A parody of himself. A 70 year old man chicken dancing. A legendary guitarist who can't play anymore. Another guitarist who can't sober up. And the coolest drummer ever.
But in Kansas City in late June, only cuz the Max-man wanted to go see them, we went to Arrowhead Stadium.
1) Ed Sheeran is a great performer. He can sing, he can write songs, he can perform. I liked him a lot So did some 40 something woman who couldn't stop white people dancing for 40 minutes.
2) Rolling Stones fans are really old. Unlike me of course who is young and vibrant and doesn't have a gray hair on his head. OMG! Is that me? Never mind.
3) Rolling Stones fans are decrepit and love to drink. Shattered is now a song about Stones fans knees. My goodness, it was like looking at a Social Security disability rally. You really oughta take better care of yourselves. Now let's see if I can get up off this couch.
4) Drunk Rolling Stones fans in the upper deck of a football stadium with a close to 90 degree angle set of steps should not start dancing and twirling cuz OOPSSSSSS, down goes Frazier. You are going to kill yourself! How some people survived is a mystery.
5) Ok ok I was wrong about the Stones sucking as a live band. When I saw them in 1981 I didnt much care for them. Then I went back and saw the setlist from then. Yeah I understand you guys thought you were still relevant and shit back then but look at that setlist! No Sympathy, No Gimme Shelter, no Satisfaction? Instead I got a steady diet of She's So Cold, Shattered, Miss You and Hang Fire??? What the fuck! Now do you get it? In 2015 it was what it should have been back then. Look at this setlist from 2015.. My god. This stuff was classic. Street Fighting Man, thanks to Max voting for it online. Gimme Shelter with the great Lisa Fischer sending chills down your spine during Gimme Shelter. Happy, with Keith, one of the top 5 Stones tunes ever. Jack Flash, Sympathy, Satisfaction, goddam they played them all.
6) Mick Jagger is still a bit of a parody of himself but this man at 70 plus is amazing. He never stops going, he never stops running, he never stops overhand clapping. I love ya Mick.
7) Charlie Watts is still the coolest Stone. Period. The man visited the Jazz Museum and the Negro Leagues Museum while in Kansahhhs City. Charlie was introduced, reluctantly came off the drum set and waved with a puzzled look like why am I wearing this silly hat with KC on it? Charlie is the glue, man. Without him, the engine stops. Watching him drum at 75 years old is also amazing.
8) Keith Richards is actually articulate. I could understand almost 75% of what he said. Was that all an act, Keith? He can't really play anymore what with the arthritis and all but who cares? The licks he can play are still classic and a must.
9) Ronnie Wood. Yep, he's still around.
10) I do stand by my statement that the Stones haven't written a good song since about 1972. Sorry, but it's true. But then, again, either have the Beatles.
11) Concert merchandise is fucking expensive. A t-shirt for $45? Really? I haven't bought a concert tee since about 1984 when Bruce Springsteen was in these parts and I paid $10 for a t shirt that featured the Born in the USA tour dates on the back including a stop on "Oaklahoma City". I still have it. It covers up about half my gut now. But it was $10. Max, being a kid and all, had to have one. I was happy to buy it for him.
12) Driving 3 hours home in the dead of night in a rented VW Beetle can be harrowing. Just ask that family of 3 raccoons in the middle of I-29 somewhere around Glenwood. Oh sorry, I think maybe one survived the Beetle Blast. I still feel bad.
So glad we went as I can now stop thinking the Rolling Stones suck as a live band. Welcome to the oldies circuit boys. Us oldies appreciate NOT hearing Shattered or When the Whip Comes Down or the dreadful Miss You. Oh wait? What? I did hear that? No I didn't, that was bathroom break time. Thank you to my bladder.

Happy As A Tornado In A Trailer Park!
Have you had it with these assholes yet? I have, since I was about 5 back when this loser, treasonous, racist, keep me in the 19th century, white supremacist, look at me I'm such a rebel, look at me I'm such a dumbshit, look at me I am a loser, did I mention loser? flag first became all popular among the bigots who are all for states rights and hate minorities.
These are a bunch of Oklahomo-ans and probably Texass residents "greeting" President Blackenstein as he arrived in Oklahomo City to go be where he belongs, in a federal prison for all the crimes he's committed. Ya know, like providing health care for people and tripling the Dow Jones (no Okla-Texass that aint some pansy ass Jew from Noo York City)and killing all them Mooslims.
Holy shit on my shoes. You people are great. Keep it up. Greet President Black Panther with that flag of treason and genocide everyplace he goes. Follow him around in your truck and wave that shit for brains flag all the fucking time. Please. And keep denying its all about race and slavery. Yep, I learned that in my Texass textbook. Keep it up. In fact start following Hillary around with the flag that tells everyone looking all across the nation that I am a racist piece of shit and I vote Republican.
Look at that picture. They all look the same. Camo cap, beards and a dead eyed glaze that says more where's the nearest 3.2 beer coming from than boy am I proud I'm from a land of losers. And yes, how does it feel to be in the back of the bus, so to speak, with all those minorities in front of you thrilled to be taking pictures of President Uppity?
Goddam, there isn't going to be a Republican President again in my lifetime!
Wave it!
PS-- ya know they just love their Jesus in Oklahoma but as they say, Jesus would never have been born there. Something about a lack of 3 wise men. No joke, just fact.

2016? Is That The Number Of Republican Candidates?
Oh politics. I am so sick of all these motherfuckers I cannot even believe the sincerity when they express sadness over the weekly mass murder that makes us all proud of our Second Amendment. And there's a goddam 16 months to go until the next Democratic president wins. But until then let us look at the field for the 2016 Who Wants to be Bought by a Billionaire Derby.
The Republicans have so many delusional assholes who believe people will vote for them with anything other than a hatred of the blacks or the browns or the reds or the yellows or the gays it has become comical.
Here is my list, in order of my preference, and my preference of course is purely based on entertainment value, and the hope for a landslide win for Hill or Joe or Bernie or Barack after he declares martial law and jails all the nuts in a Wal Mart along with the already jailed employees of Wal Mart.
1) Donald Milhouse Trump
Who the fuck else? This troll is a dream. With his hubris and his lies and his complete duping of dumb people, this guy is a candidate all Republicans can get behind. Cuz let's face it, the completely phony racism of this guy rivals only Saint Reagan for riling up the Mark Levin crowd. You may ask yourself how anyone with a functioning brain can do anything but have a hate/hate relationship with this bullshit artist, but let's face it, working brains are getting weaker and weaker. As far as I'm concerned, the dumber the better. Yer hired!
2) Ted Calgary Cruz
He looks like Squidward, he is hated by even Republican Senate assholes, and he's a fucking Canadian. This dick has announced he will personally block all of Obummer's nominees cuz he's all mad about a deal with Iran cuz he wants to send naive' kids to die so he can get a hard on or something. Cruz is "that guy". You know, "that guy". The guy who no matter what it is, he is the one screaming for attention cuz deep down he knows he's a dope.
3) Rick Don't Google Me Santorum
Ok, he's back. Why? His double digit beat down when he ran for re-election the the Senate in Pennsylvania wasn't enough to kill this guy? Santorum, always timely, this week compared the racist Confederate flag to the racist Planned Parenthood even though he doesnt really mind the loser Confederate flag that much. Margaret Sanger was a racist so uhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhh shut down PP. Yeah ok not at all racist Rick, your argument is pretty blahhhhhh
4 Ben Did I Operate On My Own Brain Carson
Ben. The latest guy Republicans shove forward to say heyyyyyyyy seeeee, I'm not a racist cuz I like Ben Carson and now I gotta go forward the latest not racist Obummer cartoon. Carson spent the last week raising money from totally not racists so he could live like a rockin neurosurgeon should. Rock on Doc.
5 Bobby Piyush Jindal
Yeah in India, Bobby is short for Piyush. I think. Jindal, probably more than the rest, couldn't wait to blame Chattanooga on Nobama. Firing away with his popgun mouth, Jindal claimed the actions of a lone nut shooting up a movie theater, oh sorry that was the white nut, the actions of a lone nut murdering 4 Marines and having one of "those" names (ya know like Piyush) was the result of Hussein Obammer not saying hey we are at war with radical Islam, now send that drone to totally not kill all those radical islamists. Jindal is so stupid he may move up on my dream list
6 Scott Rat Face Walker
This turd, who apparently masturbates when he hears the name "Reagan" which explains why his family won't let him watch The Exorcist cuz who needs a grown man furiously playing with himself while some 14 year old girl jams a crucifix in her nether regions. Walker, who cuts $250 million from the University of Wisconsin budget while expressing support to give $400 million of taxpayer money to billionaires to build a new arena for some basketball team that hasn't won since Kareem was Lou. Fuck this guy.
7 Carly Are You Still Here Fiorina
Yeah yeah she ran HP into the ground and got millions for her efforts. Yeah yeah she ran for Senate and got more millions for her efforts. Why is she still here? Oh yeah, she's the seeeeeee I am not a sexist pig cuz I like her and Michelle Obummer has a fat ass and Hillary has cankles. Carly Fiorina was interviewed by that commie Katie Couric and said that even though climate change may be real China doesn't give a shit so we shouldn't give a shit either. And what newspapers do you read?
8 Chris Lap Band Surgeon Doesn't Want You to Endorse Him Christie
Ok Tony Soprano. The thought of an actual bum fight between him and Trump on a stage during a debate is just plain awesome. Uh yeah Donnie Junior kick his ass for me. Christie is just so bad he explains his dismal approval rating in Joisey by claiming its cuz they want him to stay Governor and not be President. Keep eating those no fat donuts Christophahhhhhhh. Christie is blaming liberals for the recent murders in San Francisco and DC cuz ya know, libs let people outta the hoosegow really early and probably tell em to go kill people. Christie should probably be higher on the list. His meltdown is days away. All the time.
9 Marco Polo Rubio
this lying sack of medianoche was across the river last night and was greeted by dozens of Republican hipsters at Bass Pro Shop. Rubio is one of those guys. You know the guy who is so horrified by the deaths of 4 Marines by Mohammed Abdul Somebody and couldn't give jack shit about 9 people slaughtered by a white guy named Dylan. War War War. Rubio hates the Iran Deal because well uhhhhhhh I just do. He wants war goddamit. Now go hide in your bunker.
10 Rick Mister Peepers Perry
This guy fell down the list badly cuz he actually made sense for the first time in his miserable life by slamming the Donald. Of course, Trump then Rick Rolled Perry by demanding he take an IQ test before being allowed in the debate. Man, would that be ugly. For all of them. "A toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense" to describe Trump? Who wrote that for you Rick?
11 Mike Shower Boy Huckabee
This guy is a walking gaffe. If he's not creeping out 14 year old girls by slobbering about how he wanted to shower with them cuz of Caitlin Jenner he's claiming he can win the black vote cuz he was all down with the brothers when he was Governor of Arkansas. Yeah I guess cuz he didnt stand in a schoolhouse door he's a really compassionate guy. Mike, listen, when you spend the last 7 years ripping a presidential black guy a new one day after day you can't suddenly say "right on" and crank up the Wild Cherry.
12 Lindsey Oh Mah Stars Graham
this fucking guy has made sense for about two weeks now. First was the very human Joe Biden moment for which I may never forgive him for (cuz I want to hate his guts so bad) and then the climate change moment. And then reality sets back in and the Iran deal fucks up Lindsey's war hysteria. How can I start a wah-yahhhhhh if they keep making deals? Oh Lindsey, stick to being human please.
13 John Governor of Where Kasich
Oh Governor John. You are a waking contradiction. You took the free Medicaid money which any half intelligent Governor would do unless they were a rich motherfucking Trust Fund Baby. Then you try to relate to blue collar voters and they look at you like who the fuck are you and why are you screwing up my break? I hope you like governing Ohio or Iowa or Idaho or wherever you govern, John, cuz you'll be doing it again soon.
14 Rand Freedom Unless I Am Offended Paul
Is he still running? Did his hair jump off his head and run away? Oh yeah he's still out there. Restrict immigration from Mooslim countries cuz of Chattanooga and freedom. And no highway money cuz of Planned Parenthood and freedom. Yeah fuck you 'Merica, go drive into a giant sinkhole on I-80 for all I care, that Planned Parenthood doing all that legal shit is outrageous!
15 Jeb I Really May Be The Dumb One Bush
He's gonna win. He's gonna buy it. Y'all know that right? Everybody's favorite Uber enthusiast couldn't even bullshit a driver to even lie into saying he's vote for him. How's he gonna convince everybody else? Well he may cuz he's just that bad. I mean come on , consulting his brother, the war criminal, on furrin policy? Convincing people he's "moderate". Come on now. Terry Schiavo anyone? Bush is well, a Bush. That name is good enough to convince the dullards who actually make nominees say ehhhhhhhhhhhh well at least I've heard that name someplace. Yikes.
The rest of them don't hit radar or sonar or even GPS. Pataki? Too Jewy for most mouth breathers. Gilmore? Didn't he have some girls or something? Ehrlich? He's the horse an egomaniacal owner sticks in the Kentucky Derby that has no chance.
And yeah I left some Republican contenders off . Like Hillary Clinton. Feel the Bern baby!

Neil Young!
In all my(indecipherable)years of concert going I have never seen Neil Young live. I've seen Crosby and Stills and Nash but Young never showed up. Well finally, the 69 year old Neil showed up 'round these parts last night and Max and I went.
Jesus H Christ, forget Max. He's a casual fan. A greatest hits young 'un. He thinks Neil is Eddie Vedder's father. Sorry kid, Neil Young is moving onward and the greatest hits tour aint happening cuz Neil is pissed off, constantly.
Young's new album is a rant against Monsanto, Citizen's United, Monsanto, Starbucks, Monsanto, dumb Americans, Monsanto, and more Monsanto. Ya see, Neil is not a happy man that corporate giants strangle working farmers and the political system. And dammit, he's gonna sing about it. For 3 hours and 20 minutes he's gonna sing about it, jam about it, and jam some more about it.
Opening act Band of Horses, of whom I am a fan, played a strong 40 minute set of indie music. A talented group of South Carolinians with a lead singer who can sound a bit like a young Neil Young at times, the political message got off to a start when they proclaimed for the first time in their lifetime, they were proud of being from South Carolina cuz ya know that treasonous loser flag got taken down the day before. And Ben Bridwell, lead singer, can't sleep cuz he has a Ghost in His House. Love that song.
Then it was time for Neil. A couple of young girls in overalls and hats, chewing on straw, came out to spread seed, water flowers, and then do it some more and more and more much to the consternation of drunken fans anxious to start rockin.
And then........After the Gold Rush........Heart of Gold.......Long May You Run.....Old Man....and Mother Earth with Neil playing an old organ. Nobody else...just him.....guitar and harmonica........like Dylan.
Then comes Promise of The Real. His band for the I Hate Monsanto tour. The Nelson boys, Lukas and Micah, not Rickey Nelson's boys, Willie Nelson's boys. A kickass bassist, Corey McCormick, a kickass drummer, Anthony Lo Gerfo and another percussionist, Tato Melgar and you have Crazy Horse Junior.
An hour of folk rock, country rock if you prefer, with only one "hit", Harvest Moon. This is gettin good......Max is yawning....
And then......hoo boy....Neil Young picks up the electric guitar and we are off to the races, my friends....
I don't even care what he played, he is a true jazz man, a jammer, you could tell the Nelson boys (geez Micah, are you old enough to be up that late?) had to improvise on numerous occasions cuz they had no idea where this was going.
Neil played his entire new album, preaching the word on Monsanto musically, while saying almost nothing between songs. Except when he said "We dont want to offend anybody, but we wont be happy till they're not happy". Amen brutha!
He covered Crazy Horse at times. The Down By The River jam took at least 20 minutes. I was in heaven cuz again, he can play whatever he wants and as long as he wants cuz he's goddamn Neil Young and he is not predictable. And that is what makes him relevant. He keeps going.
Now a lot of fans may not like that he keeps moving ahead, and there were plenty including Max, but Neil doesn't give a rat's ass what anybody thinks and if you want to come see him, come, and if you don't, don't. Period.
There were only 6,000 or so at this show, which is fine. He is a legend, but a niche' legend. Not everybody loves this guy like I do. But for chrissakes, in the middle of an acoustic set, while listening to a monster song like Heart of Gold, why in the fuck do the "Woo Girls" all start doing their thing? It wrecks beautiful moments.
Damn, I'm old.
Max may not have been enthralled by the No Greatest Hits Tour but I can still hear the jamming that went on during a new song called "Big Box". If you don't think that Big Box is good enough and as thrilling to hear as Cowgirl in the Sand well then, you need to stick with the state fair circuit. Hey, I hear Foreigner and Night Ranger and Def Leppard are coming. That oughta be just up your fuckin alley.
Rock on Godfather of Grunge!!

I never wanted to go to Philadelphia. Probably affected by my parents telling me what a dump it was and how everybody there was a negative prick. But that was the Frank Rizzo years I guess when the city was run by a pseudo mobster and the place was filthy. But a cheap airfare, geeking out over being on the east coast in April and one last chance to take Max someplace before he leaves us forever (yeah right), Max and I flew to Philly for a crazy weekend of Phillies baseball (or Giants baseball in my case) and unknown adventures.
1) I want whatever pilot for Southwest Airlines flew the Chicago to Philly route at 8:30 am on June 5th, 2015 as my personal pilot. Every single time I've flown east, somewhere over Pennsylvania I feel like death is upon me. Thousand foot drops, bounced around like a popcorn machine, holding onto the seat in front of me thinking that will stop the roller coaster ride. This guy, this pilot, flew a perfect route. No bouncing around, no nuthin. When I said "thanks pilot" I really really meant it.
2) The cab ride from Philly Airport to downtown is $28, flat. That's fine. I didn't have to anxiously watch the fare meter climb and climb. In fact this cabbies meter didn't work anyway, until he took it apart while driving and put it back together again.
3) Philly has subways, Yay! But good luck finding a machine to buy a ticket at. At least one that works. The gate folks don't give change, so I overpaid to ride it virtually every time. But it was fine. A fine subway system.
4) The Reading Terminal Market is insane. You walk in and voila' insanity! Every type of food you could possibly want is here. And it is crowded as shit and you have to be a really aggressive dick to get anything, unless of course you're buying fresh produce from the Amish over in the corner. Funny I didn't see any horse and buggies parked outside. Max was overwhelmed. He made me flee. To a Muslim run chicken joint a block away. Hmmmm, Islamic chicken.
5) We stayed on the edge of Chinatown. Max didn't want to walk through Chinatown cuz the funny writing scared him or something. Walking to downtown from 12th and Race and passing thru the Convention Center, devoid of any conventions we saw anyway, but not devoid of cups of piss sitting on street corners. Hey what am I, a Cubs fan?
6) Walking from 12th and Market south. Towards the historical sights. Boom, you're there. This is a walking city. An interesting city.
7) Hey it's Old City. Hey it's the historical district. Its the waste of time that is Penn's Landing. And hey, what's with all the rainbow flags and women soccer players? It's the Gayborhood! Yeah , ya give those people rights and the next thing ya know, they form their own neighborhoods make the place all fabulous. I wanted to go into some place called "Woodys" but was shot down by a stick in the mud kid afraid we'd look like some old hippie chickenhawk (is that even a term anymore?) and his chicken or whatever.
8) The historical sights are well worth it. Mostly free. But timed. So get your free ticket asap. Lots of people don't and don't get in. Loved the Independence Hall. Such a great tour guide who actually mentioned my pet peeve. Why is 1776 considered the big year when the war didn't end until 1783 and the constitution wasn't ratified till 1789 either? Oh well, keep blowing off your hands on July 4th , what do I care? Dammit I do!
9)The Rocky Statue. The Love sign. The Art Museum steps. Be prepared for guys and gals all over looking to make a buck taking your picture. Geez, you can't get to the Rocky statue without being assaulted by Annie Leibowitz wannabes. I did have an interesting conversation with a guy who couldn't stop talking about the 1965 San Francisco Giants. Jim Ray Hart? Stretch McCovey? Sey Hey Willie Mays? Wow man, I thought I was the only one who remembered those guys. Damn, I'm old.
10) The Eagles Stadium. For $12 you can take a tour of Lincoln Financial Field and see the bowels of the stadium , the press area, the field itself though torn up thanks to a Taylor Swift debacle, the sky boxes , again the worst seats in the house, and the locker room which is huge. And some of the players jerseys and equipment hanging up. And yes, Tim Tebow had a locker.
I have toured stadiums before and I loved everyone. In Lincoln,Nebraska they are really proud of their sellout streak and crappy skyboxes where you cant see anything. In Green Bay, Wisconsin they are really proud of anything they have that's "better than Chicago" which according to Packer tour guides is everything (but do not touch the precious frozen tundra which isnt frozen cuz they have heaters and they're better than Chicago) and in Arlington, Texas they really really like Josh Hamilton and won't let you in the locker room cuz some neck stole Josh's jersey. Josh Josh Josh. That's where Josh sits, that's where Josh plays, thats where Josh hit a home run. Well then, no wonder he ran off to Los Angeles for a while.
In Philly, they are really really proud their fans are complete assholes. Hey that's where the opposing teams buses come in cuz they cant park outside cuz Philly fans will destroy it. Here's where the opposing team's locker room is right by the field so they can hear the charming insults from our great asshole fans. We are the worst and dammit we are so godamm proud. Too bad they didn't bring the courtroom over from the old Vet. We were sure proud of the fact our asshole fans could be fined right then and there for being assholes.
11) The Phillies. They suck. The fans know they suck and boo regularly. But they show up. And get outshouted by the traveling horde of Giants fans I see everywhere I go. Lets go Giiiiii-ants!
12) Madison Bumgarner is an pitching artist much like Greg Maddux was. I loved watching Maddux pitch. It was like watching DaVinci. The Phillies knocked MadBum around a little ( a grand slam by Jeff Francouer?) but at one point he had thrown 59 strikes and only 7 balls. That is amazing. So deliberate and matter of fact. And quick, no fucking around on the mound.
13) The beer vendors at Phillies games are the best. Oh my god. I though this first guy was challenged on a sanity basis. Millahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrghhhhhhh.....and wooter. Classic. And kind of scary at first.
I had a soft spot for this dude however, Maybe cuz he looked like a beer swilling Santa Claus. And he auditioned for a Streetcar Named Desire every minute. Give him the role already!
Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love. And lots and lots of beggars, some of whom were great at fist bumps. And one who we thought dead though once he was told the ambulance was coming couldn't get out of there fast enough to avoid a hospital bill or a trip to jail.
A pleasant surprise was Philly. Lets go Giiiii-ants!
Saturday, July 4, 2015
Yikes...finally...off the desert island of Writersblock-istan. It's not that I don't give a shit anymore but for awhile there, I just didn't give a shit. The constant bombardment of stewwwpid we get around here, and by here I mean Planet Earth, was just too overwhelming. So basically it was fuck everybody, humans can go extinct for all I care and while I'm at it fuck A Rod too. But then I looked at an 18 year old kid going off to college and thought, keep fighting,dumbass.
So, what have we been up to for 4 months? Lemme tell ya.
1) Went to Washington DC and New York for a week.
a) DC just pissed me off. I hate that den of corruption. It may be a good thing for middle schoolers to permeate the city like a plague of giggling termites because by the time you get to my age, you just want to tear the place to the ground and start over.
b) The only truly moving moment I had there was at the Holocaust Museum when you turn the corner and see the piles of shoes. I gasped. I teared up. It smelled like 75 year old shoes. It smelled of death. Giggle at that, middle schoolers.
c) I always thought when I saw the Vietnam Wall it would make me cry, or feel moved. Nope, it pissed me off. What a fucking waste of humanity. I know you apologized but fuck you, Robert McNamara.
d) Arlington Cemetery. What can you say? So large. So white. So filled with kids. JFK is there. So is Bobby. So is Teddy. That's one place none of that whore like Ricketts family will ever be.
e) Pandas at the National Zoo. Free to look at the pandas. Then you can leave.
f) Inedible lunch at the Smithsonian costs somewhere around the national debt level. Wow. It may be free to get in, but shit, if you wish to survive, you're scrwed.
g) Amtrak. Oh god, the Amtrak is unsafe, its a boondoggle, its just a waste of tax money, why don't you people ride the shuttle or get a limo like all of us Congressional assholes do? Peasants. Hey, all I can say is Amtrak got us to New York on time and I lived. So good for Amtrak.
h) I love New York almost as much as I love Chicago. And I love Chicago so much just a TV or movie shot of the Sears Tower makes me go HEY HEY!!! like Jack Brickhouse. Sears Tower, National Airport. Sorry, I don't call anything by its new name, especially if its bought or named after a man who ruined America.
i) Broadway is the most phenomenal thing EVER. To see Les Miz on Broadway, and see It's Only A Play on Broadway. Goddam! What can be better? I'd go broke there. And Nathan Lane just may be the funniest man alive.
j) David Letterman is a genius. I was so sad to see him go. Nobody is like him, nobody will ever be like him. And we saw one of his last shows live on a Thursday night. The 4-5 hour wait and the shit seats in the last row of the balcony not withstanding, to see him in person was thrilling to me.
k) The subway may be the greatest invention ever. Who needs a car there? That's why the streets are plugged full of nothing but yellow taxis and an occasional rube from Ohio who wandered in thinking he could park free at the local Motel 6.
l) Purely personal. My Dad went to Fordham University after he was through kicking Hitler's ass. He used to tell me how he would go to Yankee Stadium and see Ted Williams and to the Polo Grounds to see the Giants. When on a rainy bus tour, we saw Yankee Stadium and I asked the tour guide where the Polo Grounds were he said I'll mention it. Christ, Yankee Stadium is right across the Harlem River from where the Polo Grounds stood. I get it now, Dad. I could see him at both spots.
m) Times Square is as corporate as you can possibly get. Sbarros? Olive Garden? Red Lobster? McDonalds? M&M's store? Holy crap. I know they are the only ones that can afford the rent to be there, but jesus it was depressing.
n) Moving moment #2. After the shoes at the Holocaust Museum what could possibly be even more moving? Hey, it's the 9/11 museum or whatever it is at Ground Zero. Last time we were at Ground Zero it was still a gigantic hole in the ground. Now its a huge Tower and a museum. Go to the museum , walk through, and then you turn a corner and hear it. The hundreds of distress signals. The beeping of distress signals. Ugh! It is THE thing from 9/11 I can never forget. The day after day of that sound coming from the rubble as rescuers searched for anything that may have survived. I couldnt get out of there fast enough.
Thats part of April in the last 4 months of Max's Dad. More to come.
Feel The Bern!
It's been a long time since I've been to a political rally. I think the last one was when I had to see this Tea Party bullshit back in 2010 and knew then what an early bird special at Golden Corral must be like.
Yep, Bernie Sanders came to Council Bluffs, Iowa on Friday night to rally the troops in his quest to unseat Corporate Lackey and presumed Democratic nominee Hillary C. Hey this place was nuts. There were well over 2500 folks there screaming and stomping and standing and looking for torches to go get the Frankenstein monster which is modern politicians like the Hillary.
This crowd was young. Like I used to be. Incredibly idealistic and some would say naive but nonetheless these young people want change. Yeah, I realize that 2500 people in Iowa on a Friday night is nothing compared to the thousands more young people getting hammered and saying who is Bernie Sanders but goddamit , it was refreshing to see that they exist. And judging from the parking lot, most of the 2500 live in Nebraska. Where are these kids when lisping turds like Ben Sasse get elected in Nebraska? Ok, stop getting depressed, Max's Dad. This rally was epic stuff.
Sanders has no chance. I know that. But to make Hillary Clinton turn away from her corporate masters for a few minutes to pay attention to the rest of us is worth it. Hey, over here!!!
The news media in Omaha, a small burgh across the river from Council Bluffs. Fuck them! While 2500 plus are going batshit cray cray in Iowa stomping their feet to the thundering roar of left wing populism, aka common sense, the news media in Omaha is covering a tea party rally in a park in West Omaha attended by dozens of old white people sitting in lawn chairs lithening to Thenator Ben Thathe and our illustrious dollar store Lex Luthor Governor , Pete the Trust Fund Boy. Dozens of old white people! DOZENS!!! That's what the local yokels cover?
Of course it is.
