Football: Clubs awaits Cornwall Senior Cup quarter-finals draw as ties hit by bad weather
Posted: January 23, 2014|
AFTER the weekend's Cornwall Senior Cup programme was decimated by the weather, the five outstanding third round ties were due to be played this week.
Godolphin Atlantic and St Blazey are already in the hat for Saturday's quarter-final draw, which takes place live on BBC Radio Cornwall at 5.30pm, following wins over Callington Town (3-1) and Sticker (4-3) respectively at the weekend.
Cup holders Bodmin Town are already through after defeating Mullion 5-0.
Torpoint's visit of St Austell and Launceston's rearranged tie with St Dennis were postponed for the second time on Tuesday, while Saltash United were set to host Ludgvan last night (Wednesday).
On Saturday, division one west Dobwalls will be bidding to avoid an upset when they welcome Combination League high-flyers Wendron United to Lantoom Park, while their fellow title rivals St Day will be hoping to cause a shock when they host Penzance.
In the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League on Saturday, the only remaining premier division game saw Falmouth Town secure only their third league victory of the season as a first half brace from former Penzance midfielder Dan Richardson earned John Dent's men a 2-1 home win over bottom side Liskeard Athletic at Bickland Park.
All division one west matches were postponed, including leaders Mousehole's trip to Plymouth side Vospers Oak Villa.
This Saturday Mousehole host Stoke Gabriel in the third round of the Throgmorton Cup (2pm). If the Seagulls beat the East division high fliers they will receive a £300 prize for the West side progressing furthest in the competition.
Meanwhile Bodmin Town's FA Carlsberg Vase campaign ended in disappointment on Saturday afternoon with a 3-1 defeat away to Essex side Brightlingsea of the Eastern Counties League.
St Just won 4-3 at RNAS Culdrose in one of only three Jolly's Combination League matches to go ahead on Saturday.
In difficult conditions at the airbase the visitors fought back from a 2-1 half-time deficit to secure the three points, thanks to goals from Darren Steadman, Lewis Caspell and Ashley Ellis with skipper Neil Curnow scoring the winner from the penalty spot five minutes from time.
Elsewhere champions Illogan opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the table following a 6-1 victory at Goonhavern.
It was Illogan's 10th successive win on the road this season, with Dan Richards netting a hat-trick and other goals coming from Sam Waters, Jason Roberts and Simon Ellis.
Paul Robertson replied for Goonhavern who remain only three points above the relegation places.
Five second half goals, including a hat-trick inside six minutes from striker Rob Carey helped Mullion to a 6-2 home win over his former club Falmouth Town.
Alan Thomas (2) and Jack Sherlock were also on target for Mullion, with Jamie Webb and Ben Allen replying for Town.

I just spent several days on a tour arranged by the Marine Corps Association, speaking to various groups of Marines at Parris Island, South Carolina, their East Coast recruitment depot, and at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, their main East Coast operating base. It was inspiring and educational in equal measure.
The educational part came from a meeting with the Marines' newly formed Foreign Military Training Unit, part of the recently established Marine Special Operations Command. The Marines are, in essence, emulating the Army Special Forces by creating groups of eleven Marines (akin to the Green Beret A-Teams) who receive language and educational training and then journey to various parts of the world to train friendly military forces. The goal is to keep sending the same groups of Marines back to one country or region so that they can establish the personal relationships which are all important in this type of work. This initiative doesn't get the headlines that the Marines receive for their heroic fighting in Iraq's Anbar province, but, over the long term, it could make just as important a contribution to winning the struggle against radical Islam.
The inspirational part of my trip came simply from having the opportunity to chat with so many outstanding warriors, current and retired. I never get tired of spending time with men and women in uniform, and Marines are, on average, some of the best. They are so dedicated, so selfless, so gallant—and yet they wear their accomplishments and sacrifices so lightly, in keeping with a military code that is supposed to give credit to the team, not the individual. Drill instructors at Parris Island work 80 even 100 hours a week for less than $20,000 a year. (At least their housing isn't as bad as it used to be. The Corps has brought in a private developer to create nice, tract-style homes on the base.) Other Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan risking life and limb for equally meager salaries.
And, however much civilian society may grow disaffected with the war in Iraq, the Marines stand ready to fight on—and on and on. I was chatting with one Marine captain, who has done a tour there (many other Marines have two, three, even four tours under their belts), and he told me that he and his peers have no desire to leave Iraq. Morale remains high, he said—a fact borne out by high reenlistment rates.
Marine recruiting is also running strong, even though all who sign up know that they will be heading "downrange" before long. This captain explained that the motivation for Marines isn't so much that they support this particular war, although most do. It's that a war is going on, and they feel the call to serve the nation. They don't have to inquire too closely into the rights or wrongs of the conflict; they have been called upon to fight, and that's all they need to know. The prospect of being killed or maimed isn't a big deterrent. They know the risks they're running, and many Marines I spoke to expressed amazement and disgust with the casualty-preoccupation of civilian society.
I admit to a bit of disenchantment when I traveled through Charlotte airport on my way home. Here I overheard the usual conversations of business travelers talking about market share and stock options and product rollouts. Somehow it seemed unworthy, even sordid, compared to the lives of duty, honor, country that the Marines lead.

Checked the Michigan MEAP scores for Coulter. They placed 1551 out of 1552 schools. How embarrassing. Their kids can't read, write or do Math but yet they can spend and entire week discussing what happened in Florida and go outside and protest. I think they need to spend time in the classroom learning the basics. What a waste of my tax dollars.
Is it true that the new Curriculum Director, hired just months ago is going to be the new superintendent? Heard he was hired just for that.
If you live in the township you follow the rules. If you don't want to follow the rules, then move.
Boy do we have our priorities wrong. Everyone is praising the Tigers for signing Fielder for such a large sum of money. He will be making $42,000. a minute and yet everyone criticizes the teachers for asking for a fair share. We have movie stars making millions, BB players without an education and football players without and education making millions but who do we criticize, the teachers. Yes the Republicans are out to get them and so are the parents but the Democrats aren't any better. All of you that think teachers work 180 days have no idea how many actual days they put in.I really think everyone despises teachers so much because most of them are women and the public hates to see women make money. If all of you who criticize teachers spent a day in the classroom, I think you would have a very different idea what actually . Yes there are some who don't belong, but what about the auto workers in Detroit who were caught drinking and doing drugs. I never read such hateful comments about the. My children went to public schools and I have seen how dedicated and professional they are.
I see nothing wrong with giving schools extra money based on their performance. These students work hard and have the desire to be successful. They should be rewarded. Several years ago, the new Thompson Middle School received a large bonus because they were an underperforming school. This school is new and has all the latest technology. They still are a low performing school. We have to stop rewarding the kids who don't care and don't come to school. I feel sorry for these teachers but no amount of money is going to change the mindset of some of these low performing schools.
When and where did Obama serve?
Michelle Obama asked Mars to lower the calories in their candy bars and they agreed. That was on the national news several days ago. We heard it on the CBS news. It is up to the individual to choose what to eat.
It is not the duty of the wife of the president to go around to companies and demand they change their product. What is happening to our freedoms and right to choose.
One thing the NEA needs to do is tell the president to stop the bullying. He is the reason there is so much of it in schools. Listen to him talk. He is constantly bullying conservative politicians, press and voters. He is like the little kid on the playground that doesn't get his way and verbally attacks.
Headline should read women's. Please correct the spelling in your headline.
All the gas stations in the Midland area had gas for $3.24. We bought it for $3.19 at Meijers near the Midland Mall.
S48603 Thank you for the positive comments for our Police Department. Those that complain will be the first to call them when they are in danger.
When was the last time you were in Bronners? My merchandise says Made in Germany, Made in Poland etc. Many of the items are made by craftsmen and women in European countries. I applaud Bronners and the Bronner family for showing us all what forgiveness is and what the true CHRISTmas spirit means. Thank you Bronners.
Love Bronners. What a beautiful store to visit year round.
Every new program takes time. The teachers and students have only been using it for a few months. It takes a little longer to adjust. It is 100% better than the old Chicago Math that was forced on the district.
Fantastic news for the area. This company is very supportive of the Susan B Koman Race for the Cure. They make the ribbon bagels in October and they are delicious.
If a parochial school did this, you would be singing their praises. Shame on you for criticizing students who are trying to help the less fortunate. I think these 5th grade students at Hemmeter have more brains than you do.
The owner of the present bridge is a crook. He has given thousands of dollars to the politicians in Lansing that oppose the new bridge. He built illegal ramps and a gas station and keeps all the taxes which amounts to millions. He has been ordered by a judge to remove these illegal ramps and has not complied. Last summer he posted fake notices on the homes telling the people they would be evicted. Canada wants the new bridge and is willing to pay. The Detroit Free Press did a thorough investigation and listed the lies this company continues to spew. Canada wants this bridge to connect to its highways instead of going through neighborhoods which the trucks do now. It is a win win situation for both countries but in Michigan our politicians have been paid off. Then politicians wonder why they have such poor approval ratings.
We finally have power back. This is the third power outage we have experienced since April. Where are all the Consumers trucks? We saw many white trucks, but the blue and white trucks were not around. Is Consumers cutting back so much that they do not have enough manpower in emergencies like this and have to bring in outside contractors? When you call their number to report an outage or check on restoration time, you are encouraged to e-mail the company? How can I e-mail when I don't have power???
Wow What a bunch of poor losers. It's only a game and the better team won again.

Step 1: Heres the plan
here we have another dead mp3 player..
the problem ; dead battery , it wont hold a charge for more than a few hours.
its also scruffy looking and a hideous orange color under the aluminum tape i applied to it last year.
its a camnex ae900 2GB , mp3 /video player
with camera and a truly excellent ebook reader {thats how i wore out the battery]
what i intend to do is replace the battery and reskin it with something better.
it is too usefull to just dump and buy a new unit
Step 2: First lets try some failure
after opening the player up {4 screws in plain sight}
i gently detached the battery from the sticky blocks of foam that hold it in place.
then cut the wires one at a time to avoid short circuits.
at this point i noticed the battery casing says its 700mah capacity
but when the blue wrapper comes off of the dead battery it says its 650 .
lol if they were gonna lie about it why not make it a big lie.
at that point i tape the red wire to the positive terminal of the casio battery and the black wire to the negative.
then hook it up to the usb from my puter and wait and wait and wait .
the player lights up but the battery is cold and after several hours has not charged.
my guess is there is something more required to charge up this battery or its a dud{it is at least 5 years old so that may have something to do with it}.
no matter i have a backup plan.
yet i am going to reuse that case when i add a removable canon camera battery to the player the transplanted battery is nearly dead again.... next instructable.

Apple Blossom, Art,Giant Puppets and Dancing Girls
To those of you who may have been anxiously waiting for the next Arts In The Valley and Beyond blog, sorry for the delay. But, after the very long and busy Apple Blossom weekend of Art in and out of the PAC, the First Friday art Event, The Giant Puppet march in the Grand Parade on Saturday, followed by moving Scott Allen's Art out of the Robert graves Gallery at Wenatchee Valley College and then installing the Cashmere High School art students and the Vale Elementary students posters at the Cashmere Arts and Activities Center on Sunday… frankly I needed a break from the art and the blogging about art and needed to catch up on a lot of work and home projects…whew!!! That being said, I did get some video work done using the mass amounts of video I took Saturday both before and during the Grand Parade as I marched the whole length with the Giant Puppets both as support fix-it guy and as videographer. So far I have produced three videos of the giant puppets one encapsulates the whole parade from the preparation and staging to the end of the parade where we got in under a roof just as the clouds burst forth…lucky!!! The other two use different clips of the staging area and of the puppets dancing to Salvadorian music… what fun. You can find all of these videos and a short clip of the Rambots group with their robot at the staging area by going to http://www.youtube.com/user/56Daut I hope as many of you as can go there and enjoy all of these videos. I may make another movie using the mass still that I took as well of the other floats and bands at the staging area… I keep you posted on that. For now it's off to Café Mela for an early morning meeting of the Wenatchee First Fridays Group

No one in this world can you trust. Not men, women, or beasts.[Points to sword] This you can trust.
I was wondering what all your opinions are... on a possible MMORPG that I had an idea for. Not that I have the recourses to pull it off... Ideas for the system.
Game Type
Can be the basic Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, and Humans. Can even add Wood Elves, and all the other jazz.
Fighter, Barbarian, Thief/Rogue, Shaman, Cleric, Knight, Ranger, Magic User, Monk.
Experience Based Characters
Instead of working up in Levels, and continually trying to get a special ability you can only get at level 30 or something like that, you have an Experience based system that every time you kill, you get experience, then you can travel to town and spend that experience to get special abilities from a list that are available to you. So if you wanted two handed fighting you don't have to wait until a big LEVEL dong to get it. You just gather enough experience (like money) and buy it. With 100s of Abilities... that avoids cookie cutter characters, and allowed you to only have what you want.
Turn Based Combat
You are walking with your party in real time. Encounters of monsters are not mobs that spawn in a certain place. But more random and unpredictable. When you encounter a monster or mob, the game mod changes for everyone in that party.
The screen zooms in (Final Fantasy style) a light green grid forms on the battle zone. Everyone is in their (predestinated) formation. And battle is done in turns of what someone wants to do.
Movement, placement, and all that is very important to survival. Magic Users and Ranged want to sit out of Melee combat.Everyone does their actions and clicks ready. And then the turn is animated for one turn. If you played Pool of Radiance you will know that this can work ok in a multiplayer environment.
Timers are set so there is no waiting for slow pokes. IN turn most... the people with the fastest speed go first... And that speed rating is randomly calculated every turn to the order is different. Everyone get bonuses to speed depending on race and class. Ok enough abound combat I am not going to give too much away.
Skill Based Abilities
Skill based abilities tha5t increase as you use them. Your ability to swing a weapon, block, dodge, all that including work skills are all increased as you use them. Similar to FFXI and UO in the work sence. No more waiting to level before your skills go anywhere.
Random Monsters/Mobs
Since the game is not level based you are all wondering. How you balance difficulty for mobs and monsters.
The combat is done in a percentile system. Monsters use that same system. There is a % to hit and evade damage. And that % is modified by difficulties to do certain things.. Like... Shooting an arrow into engagement... With a % to also hit your friendly ally.
Monsters a beginning character can run into can be as great as a dragon... rare but possible. You are all thinking. There is no way a Beginning party can kill a touch dragon....... or can they?
Taking damage
This type allows for any character to POSSIBLY beat any foe with the right tools. Physical damage and hits are done on a probably chart and body location. When you actually deal damage to that body location there are complications.
*Legs= Knock downs and dodge penalties.
When you deal damage to a particular body part, the game system will reduce that damage by the armor value on that part. Goblins with not armor on his arm will take full damage there. And if there is a lot of armor there, and you don't hit hard enough, the swing bounces off *TING*
If you fight a super strong super armored monster, he is going to be harder to drop, but not impossible, there will be aces and fumbles on rare instances, where you can bypass armor, or get lucky with a neck or eye shot.
Monsters will do random actions as well. The game will determine from a list of 8-10 things a monster can do. Laugh, Taunt, Swing weapon, Kick, Spit acid, and they will attack the reasonably random close character.
In most games as you gain advancements in certain levels, your level of LIFE increases. This means at the time you reach level 30, you can relatively take 10-100 times more damage than you could when you were level one. I know this isn't physically possible, and I know that in general terms that just means that you can roll with the punches better and absorb damage better.
In a game like this, with mechanics built around precise exciting combat, it is best to keep life and health at a normal level. Increasing it slightly as you advance as an option but not as a representation on how many times you can take big hits. There will be a system set up to regulate what a killing blow will be. And that value can be any reasonable number. In this case, if you take that amount of damage to your head or slightly more to the chest, you will die. In cases where you take moderate damage, you will deduct your life until 0, then dead. This works the same for monsters. So when you are taking out a dragon. His Killing blow value is going to be must higher. And you must use huge weapons to kill him with one strike; otherwise you can continue hurting him. Until he dies of weakness or passes out from blood or pain effects. Giving beginning characters chance, if lucky enough to take down big monsters or tough mobs, if they are strategic in battle enough.
In a game like this, I would prefer perma-death in certain situation. I feel that your life should be dependant on your party. WE can sell resurrection potions and spells to bring people back, if there is someone there with the resources, once recovered you will remain weak until you earn enough experience to regain your natural life back. BUT if there is no one around and you die, there is a strong chance that you may perma-die. And create a new character you must.
This will frustrate you to no extreme in some cases. But the thrill of having a powerful character that was earned the hard way. And when you see a heroic character you know.. He DEFIED THE ODDS, not that he PLAYED LONG ENOUGH. There will be a different value of respect attuned to your character and a cheater fear of his death of a foe gets lucky with a single shot.
Just add a dynamic economy system for trade and skills to do all that social stuff and your set.
I have all of this 99.7% done on my table top game. The rules are fast and easy to comprehend.
Could this be an MMORPG? Would you guys think it would be fun and feasible or just frustrating?
Of course I would like to call it Paridine.

No one in this world can you trust. Not men, women, or beasts.[Points to sword] This you can trust.
I know what your all thinking.
and we need to break away from the NORM for a minute.
1- Level Grinding,
2- Level Based weapons
3- Level Based Armor
4- NO drop Items.,
and things of that sort.. then yes.. thos game may not work with that structure.
Having several character that have lived and died.. some gaining power.. some have not.
Items can be worn or used by practically anyone.
So in relativly you can suck with a sword, but if you are lucky enough to find excalubur, or the sword of uber destroying, then you may miss alot but the times you do HIT.. will actually count.. and you can turn the tide of a battle fairly quickly
I know this seems too realistic.. but then.. why go for another level based gridning game ????
there are 100s out there.
try somethgin fresh , fast, exciting, a constant power struggle or you and your peers.

Game based turn is something I always love personnally so I am biaised. Most players dont like it that way althought. As long as there is a very restricting timer so you dont keep waiting endlessly during fights, it could work, basically, at start give like 30 seconds for all, then when you just act, you have a new timer of 30 seconds that start right now, it dont wait till it is your turn, it start as soon as you are done with old turn and while someone else turn is going on, this way, it would save a lot of downtime.
Many good ideas even if I would disagree with many many :) hehe

Good Point
Experienced Based Characters, Not Level based characters.
good idea but it sounds almost the same as level based system. as you said to learn two handed fighting skill you should have number of expirience points. for example, if you want to learn advanced two handed fighting skill you will need more exprience points and so on. what I'm trying to say that level based system was made like this. you got it anyways.
Turn Based Combat
I will disagree here couse turn based system is an old centuary why would you want to turn back? It is just imposible to make Battlefield type mmorpgs right now but it should be possible in near future. WE should think future.
Random Monsters/Mobs
good idea it also should be balanced in some ways so noobs won't need to fight dragons at the begining...
Taking damage
Agree. I've seen such thing in one RPG dont remember the name of it. It was done there pretty simple, for example rats can atack only low parts of your body. If you don't have pants and boots but have chest and helm rat will deal you more damage then with only pants and boots on.
I disagree on perma-death thing. It just sounds not right. You can't just stand up and fight again sounds very absurd. Here is my idea on this topic: when you die you go to G.O.D. and ask him for forgivness if permission granted, lucky you, only then you apear near some church or even in nearest graveyard.
Overall I'll give your mmorpg 10/10 for originality ofcourse. Well I should play it first anyways and then rate. PM me in case.

Well with the Experience based system.. you can buy what abilities you want and don't want. is most games.. everyone of a certain class will get the same abilities at the same level. With the Exp based purchasing.. you basically gather exp and then buy what you want.
Save up ALOT for the ability to use magic, even if you are a fighter.
Save up for the ability to use a Bow really well.
As for turn based.. I think it will be a bit smoother.. cause there are TICKS in real time.. and these ticks will be semi paused in this game so it wont be too noticable..
Try NWN for Turn Based combat that doens't FEEL too turn based.
and yea Noobs will have thier own area and lands that are FAR from any severe danger.

Guys, there is a game that has what you are looking for via this thread in development right now.
It's www.trialsofascension.com and it is worth checking out. The member culture is first rate and the interaction from the developers is second to none - from the CEO/Co-founder BRAX on down.
Check it out and give it a thourough read. It is the friendliest forum for newcomers I have ever been a part of. If you spend an hour or two, you will be glad you did.
It's a relative dark horse, but it is getting good buzz on anticipation here, as well.
Permadeath and environmental challenges are the next great step in the evolution of MMORPGs. Only through true adversity will one feel accomplished. Only in truly knowing you can die will true adversity present itself.

Sellers, Sullivan combine for shutout
Warren County won its third consecutive game Thursday at home against Southern Vance. The 5-0 win pushed the Eagles' record to 4-4 overall and 2-2 in the 2-A Northern Carolina Conference.
Southern dropped to 0-3 in the league and was held to two hits by Warren County starter Darian Sellers, who worked five innings. Sellers struck out five Raiders before Hayden Sullivan came on for the final two innings.
Trey Martin knocked in the go-ahead run in the second inning before Warren County added another in the third and three more in the sixth.
"We're finally getting some hits with runners in scoring position," said Eagles coach Randy Martin.
Sellers was 2-for-3 and Sullivan, Pete Johnson, Tyler Thompson, and Antonio Thompson each added hits.
Warren County posted consecutive wins on Monday and Tuesday over Pymatuning Valley High School, a team from northern Ohio travelling south to play games on its spring break.
Hayden Harriss, David Adcock, Dustin Brummitt, Matthew Perkins, and Logan Waite each had hits for Southern.
Raiders head coach Eric Faucette said his team agreed it didn't play with much life on Thursday.
"If we put our heads back in the game and dedicate ourselves to do whatever it takes to be successful, we can still turn this season around," said Faucette.
Southern hosts N.C. School of Science and Math on Tuesday while Warren County visits South Granville.

Video:Profile of Disney Cars Landwith Arthur Levine
Disney Cars Land is an exciting new part of the Disney California Adventure theme park. Watch this About.com video to learn more about the fun rides and park attractions at Disney Cars Land.See Transcript
Transcript:Profile of Disney Cars Land
Hi everybody, I'm Arthur Levine, the Theme Parks Guide at About.com, here at Cars Land at Disney California Adventure. Wow check this out, Disney and Pixar have brought Radiator Springs to life. You've got to see this for yourself. Hey is that Mater? He's probably off to make some new friends at his Junkyard Jamboree. In fact, lets take a road trip and see all that's in store for you when you visit Cars Land.
Sites to See in Disney Cars Land
The story and characters from the Pixar film, Cars, come alive as guests amble onto the fabled Route 66. Amid the neon-infused haze of 1960s nostalgia are scenes that'll have you thinking, "Hey! I remember that." There's Ramone's House of Body Art. And there's Flo's V-8 Café where human guests can fill-er-up with a modern take on comfort food. The Cozy Cone Motel is actually a collection of wigwam-style food stands that offer cone-themed delights such as flavored "popcone" and "chili cone queso."
Buck-toothed Mater presides over his Junkyard Jamboree, a cute whip-like ride that do-see-dos passengers aboard tractor-pulled carts for a crazy square dance. Climb aboard a giant Fettucini blackwall and pilot it on a cushion of air at Luigi's Flying Tires. At the far end of Route 66, the majestic Ornament Valley mountain range beckons. The grand-scale rockwork is exquisite.
Radiator Springs Is in Disney Cars Land
Within its caverns is the highlight of Cars Land, Radiator Springs Racers. The e-Ticket attraction is a real hoot. It uses slot-car style vehicles to transport guests to the automobile-inhabited town and on to a grand finale race against another carload of passengers. I had a chance to take a ride with Steve Goddard, a Disney Imagineer who helped design the attraction.
AL: I'm here with Steve Goddard, one of the imagineers who designed Radiator Springs Racers. We're going to take a ride on Radiator Springs Racers and Steve's going to point out some of the highlights. You ready, Steve?
SG: Yes I am. We're starting off with some scenic vistas. We're going through the great Southwest: the red rocks, the waterfalls. AL: There's the waterfall. SG: It's an "Aha" moment. At this point, we're just taking it all in. Now, we're about to drop into the town of Radiator Springs and that's where we meet all of our friends from the movie. AL: The animation is incredible. I can't believe the articulation of the mouths.
Rides in Radiator Springs in Disney Cars Land
This is where the pace picks up considerably. It's a race to the finish with high-speed turns, curves banked as high as 45 degrees, camelback hills that propels riders out of their seats, and fog filled tunnels. The attraction is a great blend of grand storytelling and adrenaline-pumping thrills. Get your kicks and then some along Route 66 in Cars Land.

|City Administration > Public Information Office
|Mayor Calls For Independent Review Of Police Shooting
Asks state and federal agencies for assistance; pledges transparency in investigation
ANAHEIM, CA - (July 23, 2012) - Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait has called on state and federal agencies to assist the city with the review of incidents arising out of an officer-involved shooting which occurred on Saturday, July 21. After the shooting, a public protest occurred during which police officers used pepper balls to disperse the crowd and a police dog was accidently released into the crowd.
"Like many residents, I am very, very concerned with what occurred in our city on Saturday night," said Mayor Tait. "I am asking the state Attorney General's Office and the federal U.S. Attorney's Office for assistance with a full and independent investigation of the entire situation."
He continued, "The purpose of government is to protect the community, but at the same time, it is also to protect the rights of the individual. We must do both, and we must do both well."
Anytime an Anaheim police office is involved in a shooting, the situation is reviewed independently of the Anaheim Police Department. Each incident is thoroughly evaluated by the Orange County District Attorney's Office as a criminal investigation to determine if action taken by the police officers was lawful action. Upon conclusion of the investigation, the District Attorney releases the finding of the investigation to the public.
In addition, Chief John Welter will be conducting his own internal investigation and will report the findings to the city manager and the city council.
"It is critical that the entire city, including our police department, has the trust of the public," said the Mayor. "This investigation will be completely transparent and we will work with the community to make sure that they have confidence in the people who are sworn to protect and serve them."

list of books
I've been keeping a list of books I've read for ten years now. That's pretty crazy, and makes me feel old!
The list is linked at the right, in case you're feeling bored. Looking over the list, I can remember where I was and what was going on in life at the point when I read each one. Well, most of them. Some I don't even know what they are.
I recommend keeping a list like this. In ten years you'll be glad you did.

hiring demographics
If I ran Google, or Yahoo, or the government, or any other organization, we would hire the very best people we could find. In the engineering department, we would hire the very best engineers available. In accounting, marketing, and web-development, the same.
Race and sex would have nothing to do with the hiring decisions. Why would they? If we had a choice between two applicants, would we really choose the lesser of the two because that applicant came from a preferred demographic?
I don't know if Google and Yahoo, et al, are actually being run this way. It's possible they have hidden agendas we know nothing about. But if we assume they hire the best people, regardless of external factors, then why should we be upset about recent news that a majority are white males? They're not hiring white males, they're hiring engineers, accountants, and marketers.
If 47% of the U.S. workforce is female, but only 30% of Google's employees are female, why would Google try to change that? Google isn't trying to match the demographics of the U.S. workforce, they're trying to get the best engineers, accountants, and marketers they can, right?
At least, that's how it would be if I was in charge.

I took the FSOT
I took the Foreign Service Officer Test (FSOT) on this weekend. The FSOT is the entrance exam for people who want to work in the Foreign Service, i.e., work in embassies and consulates in other countries. I don't have the results yet, they said to expect results in 3-4 weeks.
The test is in four parts: job knowledge, biographical information, English expression, and the essay.
The job knowledge section was the hardest. Dozens of 4-choice multiple choice questions, covering history, geography, politics, economics, computers, and probably several other topics. The questions were difficult because many of the answers were very similar. I took several practice tests and was scoring in the mid-80s. The real test felt very similar to these practice tests, so my real score is probably similar.
The hardest section was the biographical information section. Again, dozens of multiple choice questions, this time about yourself. For example, how many times in the last six months have people come to you for help resolving a personnel issue? 0,1,2,3,4,5. If you answer anything other than zero, you have to list the specific incidents. This one in completely impossible to get a feel for. I decided it was best not to be humble, but not to stretch the truth either. I answered truthfully, but there's no way to know exactly what they're looking for. Don't try to game this one.
The English expression portion of the test was the most difficult. You have several paragraphs of text, with certain words or phrases underlined. You have to pick the best substitution for the underlined portions, from a list of substitutions. The test measures your grasp of the English language. I wish I would have had more time to think through all the choices, but I think I did alright anyway.
Of all the sections of the test, the essay was the most difficult. You have thirty minutes, including the time it takes to read the prompt (which is itself a small essay) and think of responses. THIS IS NOT MUCH TIME, although I suppose if you had more time, you would just think and type slower. I was able to come up with three points, and intro and conclusion, and beautiful transitions between them all. I don't know if any of it made sense, but they kept saying they were looking only at the structure of the essay, and not the content. I went right down to the wire, finishing with seconds left on the clock. Also, typing QWERTY rather than Dvorak would be a big help.

two context menus
When I use Google Spreadsheets in Firefox, and I right-click in the spreadsheet, I get two right-click (context) menus, one from the browser, and one from the spreadsheet, like this:
Is anyone else having a problem like this? Do you know how I can fix it?
Usually the two menus appear on top of each other, so I have to hit the Esc key to dismiss one menu before I can access the other.

men and women
We need men and women.
Not just in a biological sense. And not just in an inclusive, feel-good, be-at-one-with-humanity sense, either.
The reason we need men and women is because men and women are different. The two sexes have opposite and often complementary strengths and weaknesses. A world where women have no say would have too much of certain characteristics, and not enough of other, necessary, characteristics. The same is true of a world ruled by women.
Here's what we don't need. We don't need men to be more like women. And we don't need women to be more like men. We need men to be men. And we need women to be women. To tell a man to let his feminine side show is to remove from him the thing that society needs from him. To tell a woman to work on her masculine side is to remove from her the thing that society needs from her.
That is all.

years of accumulated fitness
Now I'm the last one to harp on physical fitness, but this quote really spoke to me.
I'm finding that years of accumulated fitness are — literally — money in the bank.
Over the last few years I've started to see more and more of my peers spending money — lots of money — fixing their health. They are not necessarily in terrible shape, but few of them are as active as I am. They suffer from knee problems. Back problems. Shoulder problems. Digestive problems. Prostrate problems. Osteoporosis. Insomnia. Arthritis. Diabetes. Memory loss. Cancer.
Looking for help, they invest in prescription drugs, medications, hormones, supplements, complicated tests, scans, chiropractor visits, podiatrist visits, procedures, body replacements, surgeries, chemo and radiation. Not to mention expensive health care insurance.
I'm 6'0″, 280 lbs, and 39 years old. Maybe I'll start thinking about this.

The Exterminator released today
5 teens in our church built an iPhone game. It's called "The Exterminator", and it goes on sale today in the App Store. All proceeds go toward the purchase of the old Rye high school, which we're going to turn into a community center.
Would you do two favors for me?
- Buy the game! It only costs $1. (works on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch)
- "Like" the game on Facebook. That will help with visibility.
Was this game really written by teens?
Yes! I know them personally. They went to a teen retreat last winter, and the speaker there gave each group $100 and told them to make it grow and do something to benefit their communities. This is what our teens chose to do.
Are you really buying the old Rye high school?
Yes! What the Greenhorn Valley needs most is a place for people to hang out. Everybody has a "First Space", their homes. Everybody has a "Second Space", their work or school. What's missing here is a "Third Space", where people can hang out, chat, drink coffee, play basketball. That's what we want to provide.
Where can I get more information?
148apps.com reviewed the game.
Our church has a page with a lot of detail.
The game has a Facebook page.
Here's a YouTube trailer for the game.

finally, we have a birth certificate
We finally have a birth certificate! Hopefully this whole thing will just go away now. This was a pretty smart move by Team Obama: since the issue has been laid to rest, it won't be an issue in the 2012 election, nobody will be able to attack Obama on that front, and there will be one less insufferable talking point to suffer through.
But there could be a much more strategic move at play here. Could this be an effort by Team Obama to strengthen Team Trump, since Trump would be an easier foe to vanquish than Mitt Rominy or Tim Pawlenty? Trump is already strutting his stuff. He's the guy who forced Obama's hand! He's our hero! But Obama knows (and I think we all know) that a Trump candidacy would be a joke. When it comes down to the wire, who among us is going to vote for Trump over Obama? Trump is like Ross Perot and Ron Paul – has some great ideas, but nobody will vote for him.
On the other hand, why can't we force all candidates to show us their birth certificates? Seriously. The US Constitution makes two demands on any candidate for President: he must be 35 years of age, and he must be a natural-born citizen. See Article II, Section 1. Why, in the past 222 years, has no one ever thought to check up on these candidates? It is completely reasonable to have the Federal Election Commission certify each candidate for president. The FEC can attest to the candidate's age, and to his having been born in this country. Then we would never have to go through this again.
Is there any chance this birth certificate could be a fake?

new tab in Google Spreadsheet
I have a couple Google Spreadsheets that I use to track annual items. Every year, I add a new tab, and I keep the old tabs around for reference.
I have these spreadsheets bookmarked in my browser so I can get to them quickly without going through the docs list on Google Docs. The bookmarks are great, but after I added a new tab for 2011, the spreadsheet would still open in the old 2010 tab.
I discovered that the spreadsheet would open on the old tab if I used the bookmark, but it would open on the new tab if I used the docs list. The difference had to be the text of the URL, right?
Here's the text of the URL from my bookmark:
and here's the text of the URL from my docs list:
The 'gid' number at the end of the URL is a tab number. In this case, the spreadsheet will open on tab number 6, instead of tab number 5. I can open any tab in the spreadsheet just by changing that last digit.
If you're having a similar problem, the solution is to delete your bookmark, open the spreadsheet from the docs list, then add a new bookmark.

evernote in dropbox
Would there be any benefit to putting your Evernote database in your Dropbox folder?
At first glance, maybe. If your Evernote database was in your Dropbox folder, then your Evernote database would be automatically synced across all your computing devices.
At second glance, no. Evernote itself is a syncing tool. Any device that you have Evernote installed on will automatically be synced with all your other computers. Thus, putting Evernote in Dropbox is an unnecessary redundancy.
At third glance, yes. The free version of Evernote imposes a 60 MB per month upload limit. This means you may have month left at the end of your uploads. To get around this, store your Evernote database in your Dropbox folder, and make your Evernote notebooks "local". Local notebooks are not synced with Evernote, and don't count against your upload limit, but since they're in Dropbox, they'll be synced with all your devices anyway.
February 14, 2011
If you read www.kindleboards.com, like I do, you've probably noticed several large sections of ads at the top of the page that push the content way down the page, and sometime even completely off the page. I got annoyed. So I wrote a script to remove just the middle section of ads. Find it at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/96735 Just push the "Install" button.

publicly owned pro sports teams
A friend of mine was bragging recently about his favorite football team, the Packers, which is publicly owned. Being publicly owned is a huge advantage over private ownership, because the team isn't as susceptible to the whims of the owner.
I've never heard of a publicly owned team before, so I went to check it out. From the blurb on Google Finance, I found out that "shares [of the Packers] do not increase in value nor pay dividends, and can only be sold back to the team." Kind of curious. Share prices that don't fluctuate, don't pay dividends, and can't be sold? I give the team some money and I get nothing for it?
On the Packers website, I learned that there have only been four offerings of shares in the history of the team, and there is no way to buy in at any other time but the offerings.
None of this makes any sense.
But what if we had actual, publicly-owned, publicly-traded sports teams? You could buy and sell shares of the teams on the open market, and the share price would fluctuate with supply and demand. Each team could potentially pay dividends, or not, just like any other public company, whose board decides dividends based on the best interests of the shareholders.
Different teams would have different share prices, of course. Buying a share of the Green Bay Packers in the week before their Super Bowl appearance would probably cost a small fortune. Shares of the Carolina Panthers, after a somewhat underwhelming 2-14 season, could be had for a song.
Now all we need is to convince Jerry Jones to go public.

create your own extended warranty
Extended warranties are almost always a bad idea. An extended warranty is the protection plan offered to you when you buy some gadget or other. Relative to the cost of the gadget, the extended warranty is pretty expensive, and you almost never get the opportunity to take advantage of it.
In other words, your gadget almost never breaks in the period of time covered by the extended warranty. It may break early on, due to a manufacturing defect, in which case the plain vanilla warranty that comes standard will cover the repair. Or it may break due to old age, which will be after the extended warranty period is expired. Result? You gave the company a bunch more of your money and didn't get anything for it.
The problem is, declining the extended warranty makes you nervous. What if it does break during the extended period? Won't you be upset you didn't buy the warrant?
Try this. Next time you are offered an extended warranty, ask what the cost is, but then decline the plan. When you get home, take that amount of money and set it aside in your own "extended warranty" fund. Do this every time you are offered a plan. Eventually that fund will be really big, because you won't ever need it. You'll save yourself the expense, you'll earn interest, and if you ever do have a covered accident, you'll have plenty of money to just buy yourself a new one. Beauty, eh?

old search engines never die
Back in the early (pre-Google) days of the internet there were many, many, MANY, search engines vying for your searches. One of these, Yahoo!, has succeeded (at least so far). But when's the last time you heard of AltaVista, Excite, Hotbot, Lycos, or MyWay? Guess what? They're still there!
Why are they still there? Is it for nostalgic purposes? Somebody just can't bear to pull the plug on a bit of internet history? Is it possible these engines are still making money? Surely not.
Why didn't they succeed? They weren't properly capitalized? They were too confusing? Not a cool enough name?

value of a college education
College isn't for everyone. So many people go to college without knowing why. They go just because that's what you're supposed to do after high school. But they don't have a goal in mind – there is nothing that they are trying to do that requires the college education.
So they end up wasting several years of their lives while racking up astronomical debt that they can't repay because they don't know what they want to do.
Now add to that this study that shows a large chuck of the college population isn't even learning anything.
If you are finishing high school and you don't know what you want to do – DON'T GO TO COLLEGE! Kill some time, goof off, join the military, work in the family business, start your own business – heck, get a job flipping burgers. After you've done that for a while you'll probably have some idea what you want to do. But whatever you do, don't go to college unless you can tell me in two sentences why you're going.

folgers destroyed our coffee maker
The coffee maker at work hadn't been used in months when I inherited it a while back, and the prehistoric sludge inside supported a thick layer of fuzzy green gunk. I took it home and scrubbed everything I could reach, and twice gave it the vinegar detox treatment.
I brought it back to work and filled it with cold, filtered water and brewed Starbucks finest blend in it. The aroma wafted through the office and drew all coffee lovers to it, and some only occasional coffee lovers.
This happy scene replayed itself day after day until, one day, we had no more grounds. I stole some grounds from another coffee maker in the building – but these were no ordinary grounds, no, these were Folgers finest blend.
The aroma was instantly revolting. It smelled bitter and metallic, as if it had come from Louisiana through an interstate pipeline. The flavor (once I got over the aroma) lacked anything beyond brown heated water.
The coffee didn't get any better over the next few days. Thinking the problem was the grounds, I brought in some home-ground Starbucks to test my hypothesis. The ugly, bitter, metallic aroma and flavor disappeared instantly, as if by magic. I tried Folgers again the next day, and the ugliness returned.
The next batch of grounds the company purchased for office use was Folgers. No use complaining to HR – what was done was done. It took two months to use up that tub of nastiness, and then HR was persuaded to remedy its ways and return to Starbucks.
But this time the Starbucks didn't taste the same. It was different from the Folgers, but it wasn't as good as previous Starbucks attempts. I made Starbucks again the next several days, but it was never as good.
Taking the coffee maker home for another detox didn't help. Brewing more Starbucks didn't help. I even brewed another pot of Folgers just to see if the Folgers was tasting different too. No joy.
Folgers destroyed our coffee maker.

why I blog
I blog because I need a place to work out my thoughts. Often I start daydreaming, if that's the right word, and when I come to, I realize I've been explaining something very carefully, as if to another person. Sometimes this is something I understand very clearly, so my explaining was as if I was teaching something to a child. Sometimes the thing I've been explaining I don't understand at all, and so my explaining was more like exploring.
In any case, I've had this conversation going on in my head, and I need to get this stuff out of my head while I still remember it, because it will quickly leave my head, and then be gone. I flatter myself that one day, I'll have had something important going on in there. If that day ever comes, I want it recorded.
Do I expect people to actually read this stuff? No, I don't. Occasionally I may say something that really hits home with someone else, but since I blog about such a wide variety of things, I don't expect very much of what I write to hit home very often.
Am I just doing this to jump-start a wish to be a potential wannabe writer? No, I am not. I don't want to write for a living and I'm not trying to gain a following. I suppose if someone came to me with a lucrative book contract I'd have to think about it for a bit, but that's not what I'm gunning for here.

CCMD meeting report
Here is a report of the CCMD meeting I attended last night. This report will appear in the January 19, 2011, edition of the Greenhorn Valley View.
At the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Colorado City Metropolitan District, held on January 11, 2011, the board passed Resolution 1-2011, designating posting places within the district and county. By law, all public boards and committees must give public notice of their meetings. The Colorado City Metropolitan District will post official notices of all meetings in 2011 at the office of the Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder, at the CCMD Administration Building, at the Rec Center in Colorado City, at the Post Office in Colorado City, and on the CCMD website at http://www.coloradocitymetro.us/
Also at the meeting, the board rescinded its lease of the Community Center to R&L Airgun Supply. The board had previously approved the lease to R&L, but since that time, R&L has discovered that it is unable to move into the facility due to zoning restrictions. (http://www.rlairgunsupply.com/)
The board discussed reinstating the Golf Course Advisory Board. The board needs this committee of golf course advocates to make suggestions for improvements to the golf course, run events to raise funds for the golf course, suggest policies and fees, and volunteer time for getting things done at the golf course. The board is considering starting up the Golf Course Advisory Board with representative members from the different golf associations, and one at-large member.
The next meeting of the CCMD Board of Directors will be at 6:00pm, on January 25, 2011, at the CCMD Administration Building.

go ahead – gloat
The natural human instinct is to gloat.
You win a game of foosball, you gloat over your opponent. You get beat, you expect the winner to gloat.
You find a duffel bag with $1 million in small, unmarked bills, you can't keep it to yourself. You buy things. You treat your friends. You take your closest friend, in strictest confidence, to the back closet where you stashed the loot – just to show it off.
You get a big promotion, you sell a manuscript, your son scores the winning touchdown. You gloat.
It's also the reason there are so many movies and books where the bad guy has the good guy at gunpoint and says, "Since you're going to die anyway, I might as well tell you everything…" And then he ties up all the loose ends in the story. The bad guy needs to good guy to understand exactly why he is going to lose, exactly why the bad guy is so brilliant.
Try it sometime. Next time you run into incredible good luck, or achieve some big accomplishment, try not to tell anyone. Try to keep it to yourself.

200 year plan
A while back I wrote about a five-year plan. Recently I've been challenged to take a bit longer view – I've started working on the 200 year plan. Whoa! Why 200 years? I'll be long dead, and so will my children and grandchildren. In fact, I expect seven to eight generations will be following me in the next 200 years.
What will life be like in 2211? Will it be as different from 2011 as 2011 is from 1811? Will we finally have Jetson-style flying cars? Will we fly faster than light? Will my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren still be suffering from the common cold? What will that eighth generation look like? How many people will be members of that generation? And more importantly, why should I put together a 200 year plan that proposes to teach that generation anything? What can I possibly teach somebody who won't be born until after my name is long forgotten? What can someone 200 years ago teach me today?
200 year from now technology will be completely different; national boundaries will be different; moral, ethical, and cultural norms will be different. Even the world's major religions, while they will probably still be around, will be very different. About the only thing that will be unchanged is human nature, which has been constant for millennia.
Humans will always be looking for happiness. We will always try to make the world better for ourselves and for our children (although maybe not for someone else's children). We will always have the need to explore and invent. We will always feel the effects of love and hate, friendship and betrayal, birth and death.
Given the constantly changing state of the world, and the unchanging state of human nature, I'd like my progeny to know it's not all about money. In fact, looking at a 200 year time line, money is almost useless, unless it is used to further human development and understanding. Money can't buy love, friendship, or eternal life, but it can ease hunger, search for cures for incurable diseases, and establish colonies in outer space.
If you're reading this in the 23rd century — Hi! I can't tell you how to communicate with your "computers" or how to get from point A to point B in the least amount of time. But I can tell you to seek the things money can't buy, and to use your money to help others seek the things money can't buy.
snow day
Snow day! You know what that means, don't you?
It means I'll be going to work just like every other day!
I noticed long ago that snow days were more about an extra day off for teachers and students than about the snow.
UPDATE: I couldn't make it very far down my road today. Had to turn around and come back. I take back all those horrible things I said about teachers and students.

decapitated christmas tree
We decided this would be the last year for our Christmas tree. We've had it for several years, and my parents had it for several years before that.
It's supposed to be a pre-lit tree, but when we set it up this year, several of the bulbs were out. I tried all the usual troubleshooting options, of course, but the tree didn't respond favorably.
I'm sitting beside it now. We took the top third of the tree and threw it in the trash. (Throwing it out little by little over a month means we don't have to pay extra for trash hauling.) Of the remaining two-thirds, a couple entire strings of lights are out. It's a sad, helpless tree.
But… we get to have a new tree next year. We'll probably get a real tree for a change, or maybe even a live tree that we can plant in the yard when the season is over.
January 7, 2011
A young man in our church ended his life yesterday. The pain and hurt among his family and friends is so real you can touch it. As bad as the pain is, however, the one thing we all want to know, and that we will never be able to know, is Why?
It's seriously aggravating. We would love to have known why so that we could help him. We would love to know why so that we can help others in similar situations. But now what? The deed is done, a life is lost, and the lessons remain unlearned. And there's nothing we can do about it.

leg cramp
Summer mornings in Kentucky are cold. However hot it might get during the day, you're going to want a little something to keep you warm in the early hours.
The swimming pool at E. P. Tom Sawyer State Park stayed busy all day during the summer, so the swim team had to practice at 6 am. They would have started earlier if the sun had allowed.
With the seeds still in my eyes, I dove in to begin the warm-up laps. But this particular morning, my leg objected. The muscle cramp absolutely forbid that I should swim one stroke more.
The coach made me get out of the water and lay on a deck chair, while two of the female staff massaged my leg. In all the years since that day, I have never had a better work out.
I was reminded of this story by a leg cramp at 4:45 this morning.

What is it about women and salad?
Can salad have this same kind of effect on men, too? I better stay away from it, just in case.
why you should use Google Docs
Google Docs (http://docs.google.com) is an online office suite par excellence. It has all the components you have come to expect from an installed office package (word processor, spreadsheet program, presentation program), plus a few others (forms and drawings).
Google Docs exists entirely online. You don't have software on your computer, you don't have files on your computer. All you need is access to the internet.
- You save all your documents online. You no longer need to worry about running out of space on your hard drive. And you don't have to worry about backing up your files, either. Google's systems are infinitely redundant. If your hard drive crashes, you won't lose anything.
- You don't have to try to remember which computer a certain file is on. Your files are on the internet and you can reach them from any computer with internet access.
- You don't have to try to keep multiple copies of a file in sync. For example, a certain file is on your home computer, so you bring a copy of the file to work so you can have it there, too. Now you have multiple copies, and you have to think about keeping all your changes consistent across all your copies.
- You don't have to install any software. You also don't have to apply any patches or upgrades. When Google makes changes to their applications, you see it automatically when you log in.
- You don't have to email documents to other people. Attaching a document to an email usually isn't all that hard, but it's one less step nonetheless. Plus, no more merging changes from other people with the master document on your computer. If you want someone to see the document, you just invite them!
- You can have multiple people working on a document at the same time. You can see where each person is in the document, and you can see what they are changing. Again, this also saves the step of merging changes from multiple copies.
- If you absolutely need a local copy of a document, you can download it in any of several common office formats, and use your local software to edit it.
If you don't like Google…
Some folks have an aversion to all things Google. If this is you, Zoho (http://docs.zoho.com) is another great option for you. Everything I've said about Google Docs also applies to Zoho. Check it out.

RSS – simple!
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and that is probably the easiest definition possible. It's a way to syndicate, really simply.
Not as many people take advantage of RSS as could benefit by it. Let's take a look at the benefits of RSS, and then a quick and easy way to set it up.
The Problem
The reason many people are not taking advantage of RSS, is because they don't realize how powerful it can be, i.e., they don't realize they have a problem.
Let's take a hypothetical internet user named Merlin. Merlin is a savvy citizen of the 21st century – he gave up television news for Yahoo News. He particularly like the sports section and his local news section. He also follows blogs about economics, eastern European politics, and miniature shih tzus. Merlin visits these five news sources every day. He has them all bookmarked in his browser.
If Merlin wants to add a new source of information, he has to bookmark it, and then visit it every day. His list of sites to visit every day quickly becomes quite long, and visiting them all takes more and more time with each new source. To make matters worse, sometimes there is nothing new on his blogs, and so he has wasted his time checking them out.
What Merlin doesn't know is there is an elegant solution that combines all his favorite news sources in one place, and only shows him new information.
The Solution
An RSS feed reader is analogous to an email program. But instead of showing emails, a feed reader shows "feeds". A feed is a stream of information from a particular source, published using the RSS standard. When Merlin starts looking for feeds, he discovers that Yahoo publishes all their sports information on a "Sports" feed. The miniature shih tzu blog also has a feed.
In a feed reader, Merlin subscribes to these feeds, and the feeds of all his other favorite news sources, and can see them all in one place. When the Vikings win the Super Bowl, Yahoo adds a story about the miracle to their Sports feed, and Merlin reads it in his feed reader, at the same time he reads the latest economics news, and the latest news from eastern Europe. Merlin never misses an important story, and he doesn't waste time surfing to sites that haven't been updated.
To his great surprise, Merlin discovers that adding new feeds is painless, and reading all his feeds takes much less time than visiting each web site individually. With all the time he has saved, Merlin adds new feeds with reckless abandon, and is able to keep up with all of them easily.
Getting Started
You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a feed reader. If you have a favorite reader go ahead and use it. If you don't have a favorite, use mine – Google Reader http://www.google.com/reader.
Sign in, or create an account if you need to. Then in the upper left corner of the page, click the "Add a subscription" button. Then type in the name of the site that has the feed you want to subscribe to. Google Reader will automatically discover the feed and add it to your list. Repeat this process with each of your favorite news sources, and soon you'll a list of feeds that contains all the news that thrills you. If you're using a different feed reader, you'll see different buttons, but the process will be the same.
After you have subscribed to all your feeds, you won't have to visit those web sites again. Just open your feed reader, read all the news, and save yourself all the time of visiting each sites separately.
Also, please subscribe to this blog in your reader!
