SHERMAN, Texas (AP) - Authorities say a charter bus ran off a highway overpass north of Dallas and crashed onto its side on a roadway below, killing at least 13.
About two dozen people are in area hospitals.
Sherman police Lieutenant Robert Fair says the bus carrying 55 people to Missouri from Houston may have blown a tire.
Police say 12 people died at the scene. Another died at a Dallas hospital, a Parkland Memorial Hospital spokesman told The Associated Press.
KHOU television reports the people on the bus were members of a Vietnamese church on a pilgrimage.
The Herald Democrat of Sherman reported the bus came to a rest on its right side in the northbound lane of an access road below U.S. 75.
Police say the accident happened just after midnight.
Northbound traffic on the highway was shut down as ambulances and helicopters used the roadway and median to ferry the injured to hospitals.
Sherman is about 65 miles north of Dallas.

Where's the love? Where's the trust? Where's the blind faith in a random anonymous stranger from the InterWeb?
...to be honest, I was surprised not to get a 'Picture or it didn't happen!!!'
How do you like my photoshop skills?
Plenty more pics soon of pseudo interesting things (I'm going with 'Less story, more show-y' this week )
LATE NIGHT UPDATE: The text was a joke but the picture is not. This is NOT PhotoShop-ed, they had one tractor running on the Mater Jamboree left plater section (the one closest to the Blue Sky Cellar and the one that had the gantry installed to help setup the tractor.) I'm just adding this because it seems some people are wondering if this is in fact a fake. Nope, I'm not that good at Photo Editing, even with the blur.
And I don't even own PhotoShop

I guess somebody didn't like the joke: I got negative rep for my post with the picture?!?
oh well... c'est la vie... Still more pictures of other things coming soon I guess.

The inside of Flo's "upstairs". There's a lot of space there (the ladder on the side gives some scale, it is a heavy duty Fiberglass Werner Twin Step Ladder, model T6212 being 12ft tall ... I'm talking about the one that's propped almost vertical, not the sliding one on the far

I have a special treat for you, folks. You may never have seen this before... there it is- the backside of wall-er!
Most report I see take the pic from the MFW which is great for the overall view but not always ideal to see how much the toothpick extend from the wall. So there it is, the west
And, yes: they were actively working on it this morning.

Thanks for the pics, TreoFred!
Hmmm... It appears that all of the stuff we can see inside the round part of Flo's may be scaffolding. If that's the case, then there may actually be room to put a dining room in there. (See previous conversation on this topic).

Until I saw this picture, I had no idea that the backside of the west wall was so close to the (parade?) building next to it! If they are going to build faux rock there, it looks like it will have to touch on the building. That is unless the toothpicks are just being hung at random lengths and will eventually be cut down to a much shorter, more uniform length?

Trying to help some people get answers to some questions, I remember one was flying around about curbs on Buena Vista Street. So here are a couple sneaky ones to help answer that one (if you're in the park early enough, you can see all the workers go back from the 10:30 break: time to take a quick peek through those many locked doors )
First, along Cathay Circle:
Next, from alongside the pumphouse (trickier to see but you can see the form where concrete will be poured for the sidewalk, there's also a new concrete border on the side where the blue railing used to be... In fact, it looks like it was pushed back a little...)
More to come.
I was re-reading that post and I'm not sure the form is very visible (my photobucket account seriously downscales all the pictures I upload ) so here's a cropped/zoomed/torn piece of that same last pic:

Fortum Partners with GreenWave Reality on Breakthrough Energy Management Platform
Innovative Solution will deliver consumers an enhanced lifestyle and reduce wasted energy
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – 28 September 2012 – Fortum, one of Europe's most innovative and environmentally-friendly utilities, and GreenWave Reality, a global innovator in the Smart Home Services market that includes Energy Management, Connected Lighting, and Home Monitoring Services, today announced that they have entered into a partnership that will provide Fortum customers in Sweden with a breakthrough, Energy Management solution. Fortum will offer customers the GreenWave Reality Home Energy Management solution to manage and control devices in the home.
The GreenWave Reality Home Energy Management solution is easy-to-use and makes energy conservation engaging and fun by way of intuitive interfaces running on PCs, smartphones and tablets. Fortum's customers will be able to understand their home energy consumption and be empowered to become more energy efficient through a number of features including intuitive energy visualizations and comparisons, interactive coaching, budgeting, Smart Controls, and alerts. All of these innovations add up to provide Fortum's customers with a comprehensive energy management solution that provides unparalleled ease of use and lifestyle enhancements. Participants in the program will receive an intelligent Gateway along with pre-paired PowerNodesTM plug strips to control individual devices in their home.
This solution includes GreenWave Reality's innovative Smart Controls that enable consumers to further their conservation efforts and improve their lifestyles by creating custom smart scenes in the home. For instance, users can easily customize Home, Away and Night smart controls that can be scheduled or executed by the push of a button, that will turn selected devices on or off as well as control the lighting in the home.
To facilitate use and drive engagement, users will be guided by an interactive Energy Coach that personalizes energy conservation by assisting the consumer in the set-up process and continuously makes recommendations to further energy savings. The Energy Coach will also lead the user through the budgeting process whereby the user can set a monthly budget which the system will track and be alerted by the coach if they deviate from that budget. The Energy Coach will reward users for their progress and accomplishments by way of an Energy Passport that tracks their achievements and allows users to share their success over social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
Fortum will also offer customers GreenWave Reality's Connected Lighting solution that provides complete control over their lighting by way of high-quality connected LED bulbs that can be turned on or off – and dimmed to any level – using a simple handheld remote, or advanced applications running on their smartphones and tablets. The solution can also be combined with motion and light sensors to extend its capabilities to control lighting based on external light levels as well as entering and leaving a room.
"The GreenWave Reality solution is an excellent fit for our customers as it combines the power of home energy management with the convenience of additional smart home services such as connected lighting," said Fredrik Landahl, Head of electricity sales at Fortum Markets. "Our objective is that the innovative product itself and the outstanding user experience will result both in an improved energy effiency and also improve our customers' everyday lives – without them having to make any substantial changes in their behavior. "
The GreenWave Reality end-to-end solution is built on highly-scalable, secure IP-based network platform that consists of a home area network (HAN) which connects to a smart meter or meter reading device integrated with a rich set of cloud-based services for consumers and utilities. At the heart of the solution is the concurrent radio Gateway that supports Z-Wave®, ZigBee® and 6LoWPAN to create a mesh-based HAN. The GreenWave Reality platform also supports high-load devices such controllable HVAC systems, heat pumps, water heaters, and electric vehicles that can significantly reduce energy consumption and allows utilities to better understand and balance the load on the grid.
"GreenWave Reality is pleased to have been selected by Fortum for this important initiative," said Greg Memo, CEO, GreenWave Reality. "Fortum is an industry leader utility, focused on providing sustainable energy solutions, and we are proud to deliver our award winning tools that enable their customers to reduce wasted energy and enjoy the lifestyle benefits from having an intelligent, energy-efficient home."

OverviewGravitron 2 is a retro styled arcade gravity shooter - quite similar to the games Gravitar and Thrust - in which you must pilot a spaceship around with the goal of destroying a reactor core and then escaping in to the atmosphere before the reactor explodes. The reactor core is often hidden within a well-guarded chamber, past several gun turrets and laser fields.Much of the difficulty is due to the fact that your ship can only thrust in one direction and is always being pulled down by the force of gravity. This makes shooting at enemies a fine balance of making sure you have enough elevation or upward thrust before attempting to destroy your target....otherwise you'll find yourself making acquaintance with the ground quite often.The controls in Gravitron 2 are very simple: You can turn left and right, thrust forwards, shoot forwards and activate a protective shield. Your spaceship has a fuel meter, which depletes as you use your thrusters and shield - but can be refilled by flying within the proximity of a fuel cell - as well as a damage meter that can be replenished by landing and rescuing scientists stranded on the planet surface.Gravitron 2 is available from the official Gravitron 2 website as well as on VALVe's Steam service: Gravitron 2 on SteamFeatures40 stages packed full of enemies and trapsThe achievements screen3D sound in a 2D enviromentOnline highscoresConfigurable controlsStylized neon vector graphicsBucket load full of particle effectsDramatic musical scores10 Achievement awards (Steam version exclusive)Future Updates:The official Gravitron 2 website states that all future expansion packs and upgrades will be free.

The 19-year-old left-back joined the high-flying Skrill Premier club on a youth loan in the summer and was due to remain until January.
He made a total of 19 league starts during the stint, the latest of which came in Saturday's 1-0 victory at Hereford.
But Blues boss Lee Clark has been forced to recall the talented youngster after Mitch Hancox sustained a knee injury in the latter stages of Birmingham's 2-2 draw against Middlesbrough in the Championship on Saturday.
Hancox was replaced in injury time by Kyle Bartley, who duly headed home a last-gasp leveller, and is currently awaiting news on the extent of the problem.
It is the second time Bell has been recalled to St Andrew's this season, with the teenager returning in late September only to be allowed to go back to Nuneaton a week later.
Meanwhile, teenage winger Demarai Gray has signed his first professional contract at Birmingham.
The 17-year-old is the latest Academy graduate at St Andrew's to be handed pro terms having progressed through the ranks at the Midlands outfit, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal.
Birmingham-born Gray has been with the club since the age of seven and made his first-team bow as a late substitute in a 4-0 Championship victory over Millwall in October.
He was then introduced as a first-half substitute at Derby before making his full Blues debut in last month's 1-0 home defeat to Charlton.
Gray has so far made a total of five appearances for Birmingham this term.

Illinois plates, talking on the cell phone, changing lanes and tailgating. The drug dealers that have sampled their wares probably have no idea how obvious they are. Hat's off to the Michigan State Police, keep up the good work. Take a look at the route to GR as well. I was behind a gold car with one headlite out on 131 North this morning between 7-8 AM. The woman was obviously texting as she almost rear ended another car before jumping back into the passing lane. She may not be a drug dealer but clearly an accident waiting to happen.
I agree. Kalamazoo is the center of the Universe. Everyone that moves away comes back or wants to come back. I grew up in suburban New York and suburban Detroit. I came to WMU in 1973 and left to live in the Florida Keys, Maryland, and California at various times before deciding to come back to Kalamazoo for good. Just drove through Chicago last weekend and when you clear the concrete and traffic and start seeing the green of Michigan, it is always a big relief. Yes, we have our share of big city crime but our communities are working to solve the problems. The Nazis and the Clan came here in 1980 and we shouted them down and told them to get out of our town. They have not been back since as far as I know. If they did come back, I've been looking forward to doing a Blues Brothers reinactment ever since KPD started getting black and whites. (The part where they run them off the road.) I always figured if that happened somehow charges would be pretty light. I think I will stay here. I don't go to certain streets and walk around at two in the morning and my daughter says that I should be nicer to the homeless people downtown when they ask for money but I live in the city limits and can't think of any other place I'd rather be.
I support the new bill. The number of fatalities caused by "cell phone drivers" increases daily and should be kept track of the same way alcohol related fatalities are. I believe the number is approaching the number killed in both of our wars. Yes, other activities are dangerous as well and should be avoided and punished under distracted driving laws. Semi truck drivers are also putting other drivers and passengers at risk when they talk and dial while operating a vehicle which may weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Victimless ? As the drunk who staggers out of his car after killing a child, the cell phone driver finally ends the call with " I have to go now, I just ran another car off the road and there are multiple fatalies..." I want to buy a bumper sticker that says: " Are you drunk or on your cell phone ?" I drive an hour each way every day to work and most of the cars that are weaving or in the passing lane going slow are "cell phone drivers."
Just follow the example of what they did in Missouri when the Kansas idiots came to protest a soldier's funeral. Park cars behind his car at the motel. Ensure that all the tow trucks are not available, bring him to the police station for questioning until the time that his appearance is scheduled for has past. Don't give him any fuel for a lawsuit by actually harming or arresting him. This calls for "widow and orphan law." This individual has already caused death and should be prevented from causing further harm to himself and others. Christians and Muslims can clearly see that this is an insane person among us that we need to join together to ignore the attempt to incite violence and get him the help he needs.
Unfortunately if someone is in the grip of their addiction to the point that they are not able to stay straight long enough to perform, our not liking it isn't going to be the thing that gets them into recovery. I really wish Hank Williams, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, John Belushi, etc... had. Hopefully when that happens (slurring on stage), the person will realize they need to get help. I often wonder why Hank Williams Jr. makes a joke about it ("Family Tradition"). I wish Jimmy Buffet would write a song about realizing he has been partying for too many years and decide to live and join AA. I think alot of dead alcoholics were parrotheads before their liver gave out.
How about cell phone use at a live theatre or music event? I really want to have the people giving the curtain speech extend it to include the definition of what off means:"Turn off the cell phone so it does not ring and so you aren't reading the screen and texting during a performance." I was at a play where someone on the other side of the "theatre in the round" texted througout the entire first act. (Somehow thinking that shielding the unit with the other hand made it less distracting to the actors and the audience.) When the house manager asked that they discontinue the practice during intermission, the group left. Apparently they couldn't bear to go an hour without texting. Please just leave it in your car and enjoy the performance.
When I drove a Semi and flashed my brights at another truck, the drive immediately let me know I blinded him since we were both monitoring channel 19 on the CB. He told me to turn my lights on and off rather than flashing brights. Same message to the oncoming driver.
The casino has been built, the opening day is set. The court needs to uphold previous decisions and let the community move forward. Halting the progress at this point just loads up the legal system and wastes money. Good luck to the Gun Lake Casino !
Way to go Shelagh ! I saw the performance at New Year's Fest and bought the CD ! It's great ! Kalamazoo is proud of you !! Glad to have seen you before you are famous !
Yes, it is unAmerican. In wartime especially. The bikers drowning out the demonstrators is a great idea and they should be commended. As with the book burner around September 11th, the government should tell certain parties that they are advocating "crimes against humanity" (basic morality, not just unAmerican) and that they need to ceist and desist. There doesn't seem to be much debate over whether or not their actions are unacceptable. The question is how to get them to stop without a legal quagmire. Perhaps the solution of "The Blues Brothers" would be most appropriate.
This chain of comments is a good example of why m.live is taking a stronger stance on editing comments. Many sites have done away with comments altogether. Why give people the opportunity to cause conflict and anxiety for no added value to a news item? The author should not have to be exposed to such input merely over the choice of one similar meaning word over another. Her reasons probably had more to do with avoiding redundancy than any ulterior motives. One more vote for using the same criteria for publishing web comments as letters to the editor.
31 comments on an article from the weekend and now we're probably the only ones still checking to see if anyone attacked us or responded to our attack. Getting pretty close to late night CB arguments don't you think? One question remains: Do you really think any of these digressions are worthy of publication ? I don't. I don't want to shoot any of the hoi polloi (thanks for the new words) I'm just not interested in every rant and rave that every member of the hoi polloi have about every subject. From disrespectful comments about the deceased's funeral arrangements to criticizing journalists for leaving a comma out of a news story five minutes after it is posted. Being "published" used to be an honor for well written pieces. I'd like to see some of that returned.
Screening out the "no value added" input is what the solution should achieve. I understand that if the content is objectionable, the reader can just turn the page. The problem lies in the pages upon pages of hate speech or attacks on the Gazette or individuals etc. that make reading the comment section a waste of time versus participation in a useful community forum. As an example, I used to listen to the truckers on my CB radio commuting to Marshall from Kalamazoo every day. There is (or was) a person who felt the need to transmit electronic Christmas music around Climax, MI. This would cause the truckers to engage in a threatening dialog with the full time interference sender. I chose to turn off the CB and no longer listen to it. This comment section can go on with allowing the full time commenters to post their attacks and subsequent rationalizations for their attacks to the point where the "electronic Christmas music" makes us just "leave the CB on the shelf in the basement" (we choose to "block" comments or by whatever means ignore them). Without some kind of filtering for quality of input, not censorship, they will find that participation by the community dwindles. And yes, it will be a human being that judges for quality. Hopefully just like when a letter to the editor is published. I stand ready for my comments to be judged unworthy of publication.
My vote is for more careful screening of what is allowed to be posted. Several mediums have abandoned the comment section altogether because of the problems cited. Censorship of hate speech and personal attacks would make the comments section worthwhile to read. As it is, the section is degrading to the level of a bathroom stall.
Good Job Julie ! I read your column on the printed page and I too, have been discouraged by all the comments of questionable value as well. They appear to also plague the major network news sites. I saw the same thing while driving a Semi truck, makes you turn off Channel 19 and possibly miss traffic reports that you really could use. First you get a political opinion, then you get a insult directed at the last person, then a shouting war, then a religious fundamentalist comes in to try and make everyone love each other again. Eventually you drive out of range or everyone tires out and stops for a while. There are even spots in Climax and near Toledo where someone intentionally transmits interference. I'm not sure if they are still on the air since 2006 but unfortunately others take their place. So, I figured out a silver lining to all the full time web posting haters and CB interference spewers: When you go to the beach, to the State Parks, or out on the water, be thankful that they are on their computer or CB, and not crowding the out of doors. I hate to encourage censorship, but I think I may use the time that I do read these posts on sites that edit out the haters a bit more.
Whether you agree or not with the political statement of burning the items to disrespect the enemy is not the issue. We are in a state of war and this act is causing our enemies to riot and attack our people. Civilian or not, there is a cause effect relationship here that calls for more action than a polite request. There should be some legal way, in such a state of war, to cause both this Florida fundamentalist and the Westboro fundamentalists to ceist and desist before more people are killed as a direct result of their actions. i.e.: "Shouting Fire in a crowded theatre." Not protected free speech.
Sorry about the assumptions, more general opinion of the teachers with whom I have worked. That's not the point of my comments however, the point is that the teachers need more help, not more training. My daughters went to KPS also. They excelled despite the company of the undisciplined. The Academically Talented programs keep the bright students away from the chaos and learning is achieved. The problem remains that the teachers also have to deal with overwhelming odds of numbers. Teachers take every day off they can or burn out. We need to increase the number of teachers, increase the number of security, calm the situation down so learning can be achieved. I'm out of it now, got a job in my field. I just don't like seeing the teachers who are struggling to keep order take the blame. Yes, more parental involvement would be great too. The teachers step up every day.
Having been a substitute teacher at both schools I can say with confidence that the teachers are not to blame for the low grades of the schools. When your day consists of at least one class out of three where you are fighting to keep some sense of order, more requirements for teachers have little or no effect. More teachers, more security, smaller classes, will give the existing good teachers a chance to reach those students who want to learn, and some chance of inspiring those kids who get no motivation from home. We have a generation in Kalamazoo of students raised by absent or barely adult parents themselves. Our expectations of a child ready to learn are in some cases, total fantasy. Keeping books out of the air and students in their chairs until the bell rings is more the case. If you can get through your "block from hell," the rest of the day can be wonderful and those are the kids that make us proud of KPS. The problem is the 33.33% of the class that will never see the Kalamazoo promise and more likely graduate to the Kalamazoo County Jail. Working with those kids, giving them some direction, that's the challenge. The two thirds of the classes that want to be there, they'll get the percentages up if we figure out how to make learners out of the undisciplined ones we have been given to work with. Don't give up on our teachers ! Give our teachers some help !
Great job Boiling Pot organizers and the City of Kalamazoo ! As a city of Kalamazoo homeowner and resident I am proud to tell everyone I meet about all our wonderful festivals. It wasn't that long ago that the Layfayette Street party was a regular confrontation between the police and the college age people. Our community came together and built a beautiful place to have City sanctioned events where loud music and cold beer exist harmoniously with the Kalamazoo police who also enjoy the event. If the parking and price are prohibitive, bicycling or walking from a free lot is an option. No one seems to mind the crowds gathering on the other side of fences who may not have the cash. I hope the event is a big sucess and the start of an annual event like the Blues Festival. Kalamazoo is the Center of the Universe !
I'm a Democrat and I once had a chance to see Gerald R. Ford in Texas. I walked up and said "Kalamazoo, Michigan !" and he reached out and gave me a hearty handshake and said " How are you doing !"
It is an honor and a privilege to see the President and to have him come to our town. I'm proud that people rose above their political differences to vote for Kalamazoo Central !
Let's all try to make this a positive event and another example of what our community can do when we work together.

uncooked lasagna noodles
4 large
baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup
1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon
onion salt, or to taste
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pound
onion, chopped
2 cups
dry cottage cheese
I had to laugh at the person who wanted to know what was so lazy about these Perogies lol Obviously she has never spent all day making the traditional ones - which are amazing by the way. This was a fast and easy way to get a similar taste in a fraction of the time. I even tweaked it a little and used salt pork instead of bacon to match more closely with my authentic recipe. Thanks!
I may be rating this higher than I should. It is very time consuming, tastes only fair and has far more Calories: 271 | Total Fat: 10.4g | Cholesterol: 48mg than I would ever feed all the thin ladies that party with us. If there were only guys coming over it would be a fifferent story.

This was wonderful. DO NOT USE NO BOIL NOODLES. I did and they were a little tough. I will also use ricotta cheese next time in place of the cottage cheese, and 3 cups not 2. My Baba made these when I was growing up, and perogies are alot of work. I am also going to lightly stir fry some shredded cabbage and onions in butter and add that as a layer also. All and all these were just yummy, with that old fashioned flavor. Thanks for the great idea.
I wouldn't dare attempt traditional pierogies, but this is the perfect substitute. NOT healthy, but oh so good. My husband (who grew up on polish food) loves it.
This is a great way to have an entire perogie casserole....great taste with all the flavours of perogies and easy to warm up as leftovers. I added a layer of steamed finely-chopped cabbage. I substituted ricotta for the cottage cheese and omitted the onion salt. This would be a great pot luck contribution....lots of flavour but fussy to make.
I love this recipe! Perogies without the work! The only change I made was to chop the onion end to end so I had thin strips; then I sauteed the onion on low (don't let them burn, this takes a while) until they were the color of caramel. True comfort food!
This was very good! I used the entire box of lasagna noodles. A word of warning, however...although I have never made "real" pierogies, and I'm sure it's time consuming, this recipe is not quick and easy as "lazy" in the title would have you believe. It took me quite a while to assemble the ingredients...I would say well over an hour...and maybe closer to two!
So delicious and totally possible to make a healthier version...I used non-fat cottage cheese, skim milk in the mashed potatoes and turkey bacon.

Yesterday an update to GoGrid was released with the following enhancements:
- Edit, Delete & Restore MyGSI Images
- Updated Billing Widget
- Updated GoGrid API
On August 11, 2009, we announced the availability of GoGrid 2.0 which included the new personal server images (MyGSI) functionality. Details on that important release are found here. Using MyGSI to manage your server repository or inventory is a great way to not only speed up your workflow in terms of deploying copies of servers quickly and easily, but also save money in the process (by storing your personal server images in GoGrid Cloud Storage for just a few dollars a month).
Edit, Delete & Restore MyGSI Images
As our customers were demanding this feature (MyGSIs), we got it out to market as quickly as possible. This new release now provides you with the ability to Edit, Delete and Restore MyGSIs that are located within the Server Images tab.
Hopefully many of you are already enjoying the MyGSI feature. Here are a few things you should know about the newly pushed functionality. Within the Server Images tab, you should now see a new icon to the far right hand side of the server images that looks like a trash can:
Should you ever need to delete a stored MyGSI, simply click on the trash icon. While you are only paying a few dollars a month to store your personal server images, you might want to "clean shop" to further reduce your charges. The three size allotments shown in the image above that are around 800 MB are for a CentOS DB server and Web server respectively, and the third for a Windows Server 2003. At $0.15 per GB per month (note, we do round up to the next full 1 GB increment), the total costs would be…FREE since it is under the 10GB free allotment you get with Cloud Storage (if you were over your 10 GB free allotment, it would be about $0.60/month!).
But if you simply want to clean shop and want to remove older images or ones that you don't need anymore, click the trash icon. You will get the following Delete Confirmation Warning:
When you click Yes, Delete, your server image will be flagged for deletion. You can check the status of it in two places. First, under the State column in the Server Images tab, the state will change from "Available" to "Trash". Also, if you look in the Jobs tab, you will see details on the deletion request:
BUT WAIT! I didn't want to delete that image! Have no fear, we give you UP TO 24 HOURS to restore an image from the Trash. Simply click on the new icon that is next to your deleted server image to remove it from the trash:
When you click the restore icon, you will get a Restore Confirmation Warning:
Simply click Yes, Restore to remove the image from trash. As with the delete process, all restoration actions are logged within the Jobs tab:
If you don't restore your image, GoGrid will automatically purge the image from your GoGrid account. Once the image is purged, it will no longer appear within the Server Images tab. You can always see if the system has purged any of your images automatically by looking for an entry within the Jobs section similar to the one shown below:
Remember, you will still be charged for Cloud Storage while your image or images are in the Trash.
Let's say you want to change the Name or Description of your stored MyGSI to something a bit more meaningful or to add a version number, we now provide you with a quick and easy way to do this[1]. To edit the Name or Description, simply click on the image within the Server Images tab. A dialog box similar to the one below will automatically launch:
In this example, I will change the title to "CentOS DB Server" and add a version number to the description:
Clicking Save will change the Name and/or Description of the MyGSI. The edits are available immediately.
Updated Billing Widget
While a bit minor in the grand scheme of things, we also have refreshed the look of the Billing Widget which appears in the left hand column. The previous version looked like this:
The new version looks like this:
Obviously, these screenshots are from different GoGrid accounts (I have added a second "after" screenshot that shows how the billing from the first screenshot displays in the new version). If you have a GoGrid Promotional Code (hint: if you are new to GoGrid, just ask a GoGrid Sales Rep for one!), the code and remaining balance will be shown. The new widget is then broken out into two distinct billing areas: Memory (RAM usage) and Transfer (outbound bandwidth usage/inbound is always free) (note: Cloud Storage charges are not currently shown). Within both sections, your Plan that you signed up for is displayed, including the allotments for each service according to each plan (the Trial Grid is a pay as you go service so no allotment is displayed).
Within the Memory section you see:
- GB in Use – this is the amount of RAM that you have currently deployed within your GoGrid account (includes servers in on AND off states)
- GB Hours to Date – a running total of consumed RAM hours
- Monthly Projection of GB Hrs – based on your current usage, how much RAM you will use for the entire month
- Monthly Projection of RAM Overage – based on your current usage and Memory Plan, the overage you might expect to hit
- Monthly Projection of RAM Total – based on current usage and possible overage, what you might expect for your final charge at the end of the month
In the Transfer section you have:
- GB Transfer to date – this is the amount of outbound bandwidth you have consumed to date
- Monthly Projection of GB Transfer – based on your current usage, how much bandwidth you will use for the entire month
- Monthly Projection of Transfer Overage – based on your current usage and Transfer Plan, the overage you might expect to hit
- Monthly Projection of Transfer Total – based on your current usage and possible overage, what you might expect for your final charge at the end of the month
We hope that those changes provide this information in a more useful manner.
Updated GoGrid API
Full details of what has been changed or added to the GoGrid API can be found on the GoGrid Wiki API page. At a high level, here are the API Server Image Methods that have been added:
- grid/image/get – function call to get a server image object
- grid/image/edit – function call to edit the name and description of a server image
- grid/image/delete – function call to delete a server image and send it to the trash
- grid/image/restore – function call to restore a server image from the trash
The following API Objects have been updated:
- Billing Summary (Object)
- gbHours – Projected RAM GB Hrs that will be used in current billing period.
- ramOverage – Projected total of dollars spent on RAM overages in current billing period in $.
- ramTotal – Projected total of dollars spent on RAM in current billing period in $.
- gbTransfer – Projected Transfer in GB that will be used in current billing period.
- transferOverage – Projected total of dollars spent on Transfer overages in current billing period in $.
- transferTotal – Projected total of dollars spent on Transfer in current billing period in $.
We hope you enjoy these changes. They round out the MyGSI features quite well. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment on this post, send me a tweet (@hightechdad), send GoGrid a tweet (@GoGrid), or email me: Michael AT GoGrid DOT com.

This is Tripps story of how he became inducted into the CJB Secret FraternityOne night as I was walking across campus from the library, I was suddenly taken from behind by a group of guys who proceeded to blindfold me. Whispering into my ear, they taunted me by saying, Dont worry, youre about to become one of us now Taking me into their secret clubhouse, the blindfold was taken off and I could not believe my eyes as the room was filled by the fittest jocks in the college. The guys were all standing ominously in a circle like attendants at a magical rite or religious ceremony, wearing black robes except for the fact they had big boners out and were jerking in a group! It soon became clear to me that this was my initiation ritual and I was asked to enter the circle and to take a place in the middle. The ritual included a cumshot contest in which new members were placed in the middle, an activity that has henceforth become the main focus for the entire group. It consists of all the boys j

Tim Brown Has Theories
January 23, 2013 at 01:13am by Scott • 10 Comments »
So, is everyone from Notre Dame a fucking moron this week?
"We all called it sabotage . . . because [Bill] Callahan and [Tampa Bay coach Jon] Gruden were good friends," Tim Brown said. "And Callahan had a big problem with the Raiders, you know, hated the Raiders.
Brown trotted this bullshit conspiracy theory out several years ago and it got no play anywhere. I'm not sure why it's getting traction now, ten years from the actual event, but it doesn't make any more sense now than it did then.
Brown's allegation (if you can call it that since he pussyfoots around it) is that Bill Callahan hated the Raiders so much and Gruden was such a good friend that he changed the offensive game plan from a run-first to a pass-first strategy two days before the Super Bowl so as to intentionally lose the game. This is dumb for about 100 different reasons, 90 of which are "fuck Tim Brown".
In order for this to be true, we have to believe that Callahan did not care about his career. At that point he had been a coach for 22 years. We have to believe that he finally reached the pinnacle of his profession — you can't get any higher than where he was at that moment — and then not just didn't give a shit, but actively worked against his own best interests just to stick it to a boss he didn't like. Callahan may have been a terrible head coach, but he's not stupid. He knows how few coaches ever reach the Super Bowl in their lives. Does anyone believe he would have thrown away the chance to win it for a grudge?
And if he was really so conniving, how would they have even made it to the Super Bowl? Wouldn't he have fucked up their game plans all season long? Especially against the Chiefs, their long-time rivals? Al Davis HATED the Chiefs. If you really wanted to stick the knife in his heart and twist it, you spike the Gatorade with Sominex during the Chiefs game and let them roll over your Raiders. They did lose to the Chiefs at Arrowhead 20-10, but they kicked the hell out of them in Oakland 24-0.
The Gruden angle is stupid, too. Most coaches are somewhat friendly, and some are even good friends. I'm going to guess none of them has ever volunteered to throw even a preseason game for the other, let alone the world championship. Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are great friends. Does anyone think the Colts didn't earn their victory? Mike Ditka loved Tom Landry like a father, and yet had no problem kicking the shit out of the Cowboys 44-0 in the 1985 regular season. The two Harbaugh brothers are about to go head to head for the Lombardi trophy and something tells me brotherly love plays no part in this. Callahan loved Gruden more than all those guys? If that's true, then someone please lock up Bill Callahan immediately.
Oh, and what a brilliant strategy that would have been to ruin the game for the Raiders: Switch to a passing game for the #1 passing team in the league. That'll show 'em! Rich Gannon was the MVP. He didn't get that award by handing the ball to Charlie Garner all the time. "I'm going to sabotage this movie by getting James Cameron to direct it!"
"Barret Robbins begged Coach Callahan, 'Do not do this to me. I don't have time to make my calls, to get my calls ready. You can't do this to me on Friday. We haven't practiced full speed, we can't get this done.'"
Brown tiptoed around the question of whether the change caused Robbins to go off the deep end, suggesting that it had an impact and then explaining that there's no way to know if it did. "I'm not saying one had anything to do with the other," Brown said. "All I'm saying is those are the facts of what happened Super Bowl week. So our ire wasn't towards Barret Robbins, it was towards Bill Callahan. Because we feel as if he wouldn't have did what he did, then Barret wouldn't have done what he did.
Oh, and he was a bipolar drunk who spent that last year and a half in prison. So I'm going to go ahead and say maybe Robbins flew off the handle for reasons that didn't involve protection calls.
To Brown's credit, Jerry Rice is backing him up. But I'm not too inclined to believe what Rice is saying since he's an entitled media whore (ask Steve Largent) and is probably looking for any excuse to mitigate the only blemish on his professional record. Well, that and the massage parlor thing. Former Raiders calling Brown a nutjob are Bill Romanowski (not helping), Lincoln Kennedy (no one gives a shit) and Gannon, the only one I will give any credibility too. So we have Tim Brown's word against the quarterback's. You know, the really accurate quarterback who threw five interceptions that night. I dunno, maybe the Buccaneer defense was just really good.
Or maybe Callahan should have changed checks and signals after Gruden left town. Or maybe he was just a really bad coach who got lucky with a decent team one year and then choked during the big game. It happens. Just ask Mike Martz. Or Ray Malavasi. Or Ken Whisenhunt. Or Forrest Gregg. Or… well, you get my point. But that doesn't mean the fix was in. It just means Brown is still bitter over losing the Super Bowl, only getting one catch in that game and having to hold his own retirement press conference, and he needs some attention and couldn't wait until next week when people ask him how it feels to come so close to getting into the Hall of Fame but not making it.
Because if Andre Reed is left standing at the front door, your ass is still on the bus on the other side of town.

Glen_Runciter (January 23, 2013 at 03:24am) :
this shit has pissed me off.
doesn't matter how improbable this story is, how many easier options there must have been to tank their season, some people are gonna beleive it, like with 9/11.
fuck them if they are trying to cheapen our SB-title the slightest bit.
manbearpig (January 23, 2013 at 06:41am) :
This has beyond pissed me off as well. What makes me the angriest is that this horse shit story is getting more press than the Bucs did immediately following the Super Bowl. If you look on PFT every other headline has something to do with brown and his bullshit. Fuck him. I wouldn't piss on that asshole if he was on fire. The one thing that we as Bucs fans hold so high, he's trying to take a big dump on and tarnish it with his conspiracy theory. Not today Brown. You can go fist yourself.
dwtalso (January 23, 2013 at 10:09am) :
I think Eric Davis said it best on NFL AM. You know who sabotaged Super Bowl XXXVII for the Raiders? Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, John Lynch, and Ronde Barber.
Louie (January 23, 2013 at 10:49am) :
No matter the game plan, nobody was going to beat the Bucs that day. However, if the game plan was changed 2 days before the game, but I bet money it was at the direction of Al Davis.
Goodell should tell Brown to retract or be banned from the HOF.
manbearpig (January 23, 2013 at 12:40pm) :
Backtracking at the speed of sound.
Matt Price (January 23, 2013 at 03:58pm) :
This is such bullshit. So Callahan decides he desperately wants revenge against the Raiders, but he decides he will only seek that revenge if he gets the team to the Super Bowl? That's just nuts.
And fuck Tim Brown. The Bucs crushed his crappy team because the Bucs were better.
IowaBuc (January 23, 2013 at 07:44pm) :
Jerry Rice can fuck off too! Two bitter old has beens trying to be relevant again.
BaldBuc4055 (January 24, 2013 at 04:49am) :
Tim Brown:
1. Great receiver
2. Long, productive career
3. Sore loser
4. Whiny little crybaby bitch
That is all
worker b (January 26, 2013 at 10:49am) :
Back in those days I'd always chuckle at the beginning of each game as TV broadcasters would explain that there's gaps in that Tampa 2 zone that such and such will be able to exploit.
They'd be right in that teams would often start off with long patient first-quarter drives ending in a field goal. Of course every receiver who caught those 5 and 8-yard passes in the first quarter would get an earhole full of Lynch or Brooks on every catch, and by the second quarter those catches became drops. In the second half, the qb would be rattled by all the drops and the pressures and start serving up picks.
Leading up to the big game, I thought the Raiders had a good chance to beat the Bucs because future HOFers like Rice and Brown would surely never drop passes during a Super Bowl. Fact is, they pussied out more quickly than most, and the rout was on. I guess I can see why they're still pointing fingers, especially Brown, who probably could have been a HOFer with a big performance in that game.
campyone (January 26, 2013 at 03:00pm) :
I thought one of our big advantages in that SB was suppoed to be Gruden's knowledge of the Raiders from his stint there. If Callahan really did make significant changes two days before the game (which I seriously doubt) wouldn't it have been done to minimize the effect of Gruden's knowledge rather than to help Gruden? What crock this is.

Waiting on the world to change?
Wait no longer. The Changes component of the co-curriculum helps you learn and grow through out-of-class experiences. Here's how it works:
1. Obtain a Changes form. This form has two parts:
- a Contract to be filled out before the experience
- an Assessment to be completed after the experience
Changes forms can be picked up at the Student Life office or downloaded here. Forms must be completed and filed with the Student Life office no later than one week before the last day of regular classes (before final exam week).
|Changes planner
|Click here to learn more about planning for a Changes experience.
2. Choose a Learning Placement. This may be a:
- student organization
- campus ministry
- campus or community workplace
- undergraduate research opportunity
- personal wellness group
- community agency
- local church
- athletic organization
- professional conference
You may apply for credit in a single placement category no more than four times.
3. Select a Placement Advisor. This person may be an:
- athletic coach
- chaplain or pastor
- counselor
- professor
- residence hall dean
- student organization sponsor
- workplace supervisor
Advisors must be directly involved with your chosen experience and either be a full-time Andrews employee or someone approved by the Student Life office.
4. Be actively involved for up to 10 hours. This may be leading out, volunteering, working, practicing, performing, etc.
5. Reflect on your experience. You will be asked to reflect on:
- transformational outcomes (how you or others were changed for the better)
- transferable skills (skills gained that could be valuable in other situations)
Your Advisor will also offer observations and verify your hours of participation.
6. Receive co-curricular credits. A satisfactorily completed ELF will result in up to ten co-curricular credits (one per hour). These will not apply toward the Tuesday/Thursday minimum or the Residence Hall minimum. Only one ELF may be completed per semester.

WSJ: Apple knew of antenna risk Apple: No we didn't, [and no recall?]
The Wall Street Journal, and specifically reporter Yukari Iwatani Kane, which have both provided information in the past suspected to have come from Apple, have an article up in which they site sources saying Apple new of the risks with their new antenna design -- something Apple denies -- and that there won't be a recall.
Apple Inc. released its newest iPhone despite internal concerns about its antenna reception, and gave wireless carriers far less time to test the phone than is typical, according to people familiar with the matter.
According to them, Steve Jobs liked it so much, and Apple kept it so secret, it went ahead anyway and didn't get the testing it needed. Sources also said some previous designs had been killed because of issues like antenna reception. Apple denies Bloomberg's earlier report that the head of antenna design had previously expressed concerns to Jobs about the design:
"We challenge Bloomberg BusinessWeek to produce anything beyond rumors to back this up. It's simply not true."
As to a potential recall, the paper simply states:
Apple doesn't plan to recall the phone, a person familiar with the matter said.
We'll find out tomorrow. Feel free to drop your predictions in the comments.

WSJ: Apple knew of antenna risk Apple: No we didn't, [and no recall?]
Personality #1: Honestly... why should Apple recall the phone? People who have them aren't returning them and new customers are still buying DESPITE everything being said.
Personality #2: Apple needs to fix this. It is unconscionable that my favorite company is telling people which way to hold the phone and to buy a case and I certainly don't buy that they didn't know...there is no way they didn't know.
This has gotten to the point of utter ridiculousness. Seriously, if its that much of a problem for you, return the damn phone.
Apple response is ridiculous. Obviously the antenna tech lead wormed SJ who ignored it. Any semi litterate technician will know that touching one antenna changes it's properties whole capacitively connecting 3 antennas whith skin properties which differ from person to person is going to have wide range of interference with the tunrs and obviously at least some percentage will be fatal (kill the call).
If the lead antenna designer did not worn about that he should be fired on the spot. The fact that SJ is keeping him proves that Apple is muzzling him otherwise he will spill the beens. For a nice compensation he will take one for the team. It's obvious it's not he to be responsible thus his reputation is safe.
He said, she said, who care.. We'll find out tomorrow.
"The iPhone isn't a constitutional right, if you're not satisfied, return it and demand a refund. If you decide to keep the phone knowing that it has a problem that affects you, then YOU are the one to blame, not Apple."
o mans.
you know it is possible to want the best of both worlds and to expect greatness from a company that constantly promises it, and hold them to account when they fail to meet their own expectation.
the iPhone 4 is a good device. a great device, except its connection dies unnecessarily. it is tough to return a device under those conditions. it isn't a black and white decision.
ideally i don't want to return my iphone 4, even though i've experienced the problems.
if there's some sort of magic software based fix then i'm willing to wait for that. if they're going to ship out free bumpers or drop the price to something rational, that'd be better than returning it too.
apple promises and delivers great products so people don't HAVE to make decisions to return based on such awkward problems. it is the sort of thing that encourages people to say "just get a mac" when asked by their friends for technology advice. it is frustrating to be put in the position to choose between a great PDA and a horrible phone, when the iPhone really should be both.
the fact that people are reluctant to return the device is evidence that it is an otherwise a truly great device, but that doesn't dismiss the very real reception issues and it doesn't mean that people shouldn't complain about apple way, way over-promising and then proceeding to seriously under-deliver in a specific area.
I like apple and their products but all the just return talk has to stop. The phone should have been working correctly from the jump. If I buy a car and the window won't roll down I'm not going to trade in the car. I expect for them to fix the damn window.
What you say is that Apple is become Microaoft. I agree. Corporate greed and customer stupidity are boundless. Money descides and whoever gets screwed is actually their fault. Suckers are born every day. Millions of them got iP4 the first couple of days. Skrew them who cares, they just do not have a better choice. Microsoft, Toyota, BP, Intel, Nvidia, Apple, all the same. F&ck anyone who does not like it … they will eventually get over it. You don't like BP, hell, why don't you stop driving your car and zip it, right?
Huge damage for Apple's brand. Just pretending you are better then the rest makes you even worse.
Saying is that "a drop of tar spoils a barrel of honey"". Apples immage is gone … I'm afraid forever. Apple's brand differentiation is no more. Woe you fanboys … and your stock hopes. This is the biggest PR fiasco in latest years.
Biggest PR fiasco? Hardly, it's not like people are returning these phones in droves, hell I wish they were so I could get my hands on one.
You can expect whatever you please from any given company, that doesn't mean that the product will be perfect and everything you've dreamed of, if you have a phone exhibiting these symptoms, and you CHOOSE to keep the phone, get a phone case and your problem is solved, but don't pretend that anyone twisted your arm into keeping the phone.
If I buy a Toyota corrolla and everything works fine except the air conditioner, assuming it's a design flaw that affects every corolla, I'm not gonna leave it in my driveway and wait for a fix, I'll return it and get something else, because I'm not entitled to have a corrolla, I can most certainly take my money elsewhere.
Biggest PR fiasco? Oh please. That's why AT&T stores STILL don't have any in stock (tried 4 today -- no luck) and if I want to order one, it'll ship in 3 weeks.
I think most companies would kill for such a "fiasco"
Maybe not a recall... possibly a no-questions-asked exchange if the customer wants to.
@Steve. Return the phone jacka$$ and buy the Dell streak or whatever oyger crap android out there. Stop being a whiney baby.
@what? I'll bet you got bullied alot in high school and now you're trying to get back at society. I'll also bet you will be the first one in line to get an iPhone whenever it show up on Verizon.
At the end of the day I don't care about all it can do with the Internet. I don't care if there is an App for that. How simple it makes things doesn't really matter. Apple has an agenda and it's to get you to spend as much money as they can through iTunes. But if the reception is bad it's a fail because first and foremost it's a phone. I remember reading a post here about which phones had the lowest radiation and the iPhone was among the lowest. Hence the reception issues.
wow, a little short sighted then are we? i have returned my iphone4 and they are sending a replacement. But if that doesn't work - I should just return it and get my money back right ? what about the $100's i've spent investing on apps ? who will pay for those ? jobs' strategy to stop the 1 app for all platforms works well as long the iphone does. He has invested in customer loyalty from the apps . which are useless if you can't get the data to work. trying to stop thinking 1 dimensionally .. there is a bigger picture.
This iPhone 4 antenna issue is definitely the result of a mistake - you can tell because the antenna design was initially touted as a major feature of the new model by Jobs. But it's just a small mistake, and not deserving of a recall. This is in the press so much because Apple is a $30 billion company known for its quirky CEO, the design of its products, and its relative secrecy. But there are already millions of iPhone 4's in people's hands right now, most of whom are upgrading from a previous iPhone. I'm pretty sure Apple will be just fine. It's not like the phone is exploding in people's hands or has a battery that catches fire.
You know in Apples letter regarding the iPhone 4 antenna issues they claim that they were ''shocked'' to find out that it was such a massive issue. I think that they knew all along. In fact i found this article at http://getyourgadgetsgoing.com/ .
The article is called "Theories At Work; Jobs Knew About Antenna Woes". Its rather interesting.
To all the people saying "return it"-
Listen, returning the device might rid the individual owner of the problem. However, even after Apple restocks it - the device will STILL HAVE THAT PROBLEM!
Everyone knows that they can return it. Some have done it immediately, while others are still mulling it over. But at the end of the day, we are on this website because we like to talk about IPHONES! WE LIKE IPHONES, AGREED? And we will continue to talk about the problems plaguing the 4 whether we own one or not.
So.......with that said, stop telling us to return it! Hell, I don't even have an iPhone 4. I personally decided to wait to see what bugs/issues it would have if any. Obviously, I made a GREAT decision. But there are millions of brave souls who clamored for it (many of you here) and couldn't wait who are now are frustrated - deservedly so! I feel your pain.
Bottom line: We will continue to talk about the iPhone, how much we love it or how much we hate it, whether we want it or want to return it. This is afterall a FORUM...say it again with me (FORRR-UMMMM).
BTW, has anyone else noticed the shift from referring to smartphones as "phones" to "devices"?
@leo A single example is not very useful. I've been reading several other articles where a drop in bars was noticed, but a call couldn't be dropped.
"Signal bar reflects signal strength. When signal strength is weak, you have a good chance of dropping call. As simple as that."
Actually it's no where near as simple as that. In an analog world bars made sense, but in the digital world signal is either there or it's not. As apple has already stated there is an issue with the way the bars display signal strength, but there really shouldn't be bars at all, just a green dot for "there's a signal" and a red dot for "no signal".
I don't have an iPhone 4 and won't be getting one, but I'm still not seeing widespread reports of an increase in dropped calls.
One person dropping calls is more than no person is dropping calls. Here is more though, I remember Dieter Bohn said he drops call, Leo Laporte same thing, Noah Kravitz and engadget has a roundup of people with the iPhone 4 saying if they have issues with the phone and more than one do. http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/13/yes-the-iphone-4-is-broken-no-the-iph...
Actually Leo laporte said when he discussed this issue with the ATT folks they asked him "yes the signal bars drop but are you dropping calls?" and he replied that he wasn't. I'm not saying people aren't dropping calls, but are people dropping MORE calls than before? I don't have a horse in this race either way I just think the angry mob mentality is running wild here. People need to be concerned with their own real world experience here not Internet reports or claims by the tech media who are focused on the San Fran, LA area where we know ATT coverage sucks.
Most of us in the rest of the country hav no issues with ATT coverage or call dropping.
I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

I for one can't name another brand that is so universally, well continentally, used but loathed as Ryanair. It's surely rare that so many people use a brand but so many also loathe it. Count me in on the loathers of this skanky, take the piss out of customers, offer so little in terms of a customer experience, piece of travel turd. That felt good, there is surely nothing like travelling Takethepiss Air to stimulate the creative juices and scour the depths of loathing.
Let's Go with Ryanair this quarter has a picture of it's chief skank officer, claiming "thank you for choosing to fly with Ryanair, the worlds favourite airline"…ha! firstly nobody in their right mind would "choose" to ride with your airline, it's just there is often no choice. Second, just because a lot of people use your airline doesn't make it a favourite….people use it often as there is no choice, but that doesn't mean using it is anything other than a tortuous, horrific and awful customer experience. Look up favourite in any dictionary Mr o Bleary, you'll find words that describe an experience you'll want to repeat, not something that is anticipated with dread and regret for choosing one of the worlds truly dreadful customer experiences.
Looking at this objectively and with an advisors hat on, what is it that is wrong with Ryanair? Let me give you two very fresh examples. I'm flying back from Sevilla and find I'm 4 kilos over. Bugger, I think. I thought it was close but not over, as the smiling assistant tells me that will be €80 to pay. €80! Not that they haven't got space, it's just another way of taking the piss by maximising profit at the customers expense. Loathe point #1. Angry, disillusioned, yes I know you charge but it's like excess parking charges and private contractors who enforce them…punish me but please there is no need to take the piss because it makes me hate you. There is just no need. I'm then standing in the queue to board and I've got my tennis racket in my backpack. Sorry, can't travel with that even though we have tons of space in the cabin. That will be…..let's pause to let you guess……..that will be an arbitrary and punishing, way out of context and scale €50 to put that in the cabin. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
I totally utterly and absolutely despise you Ryanair and I hold you personally responsible Michael o Leary. Don't think you can be the smiling laughing face of Ryanair doing your aeroplane impression in your magazine and expect that the shit doesn't stick. Ugh, yuk, aaaarggh, steam.
So if I were your adviser on brand what would I say? Get to know what your customers like and want. And get to know what it feels like when someone is taking the piss and only trying to take every penny from your pocket during the experience. Look at Apple if you want to learn. A brand with universal appeal and massive margins in the most hostile competitive environment, but which will achieve longevity by delighting it's customers. Not in showing contempt for them. Just because you started out with a taking the piss apparently low cost but not really model, don't feel that need to perpetuate it. Adapt, take slightly lower profits to engender goodwill. Find new roots and brand values. Grow up! Probably replace the founder with someone who cares even 1% about customers and not 100% about profit.
Or what? Or else you will find in time that people will delight in finding an alternative. And alternatives there will be, as you'll grow too big and, like Tesco, you'll cap out and start slipping back and never recover. It will happen and you know it. And by the time you realise it will be too late to adapt.
There are barriers to entry but they aren't that high and you aren't that cheap any more. So learn and adapt or please, just die.
As an anecdote for you btw, I travelled by Easyjet to Sevilla in November and, to my amazement, one of the worlds favourite brands, Rafael Nadal, travelled on the same flight (now isn't that cool, with Cisca too, braving the natives to travel at 7am from Gatwick and he didn't even have speedy boarding!) With a huge bag of Babolat rackets on his back. Any extra charge for that bag. No? You see Easyjet has adapted, caused by a change in founder. Profit sacrificed for longevity. It can happen. If it doesn't with Ryanair, then sell. Fast.

Full detailed profile on Coleman Played by Blake Gibbons on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Blake Gibbons (ABC)
Birthday: June 21 1961
Johnny dares Lucky to shoot him at Jake's. Lucky realizes what he's doing and backs off, apologizing. Coleman offers free drinks as Ethan walks in. Lucky orders another drink, but Ethan wonders if that's such a good idea and warns him he might cross a line he can't come back from. A shook up Lucky never thought he'd be the one who explodes for no reason and doesn't know who he is right now.
At Jake's Elizabeth tells Lucky she was hoping to see him there, but he says she's humiliating herself. He rips into her and she apologizes for hurting him and everyone else. He doesn't care if Nikolas is hurting and asks if she used protection. She loves him and wants to know if there is hope for them. She wants to try, but he doesn't have anything left to share with her. He's not feeling the love and all he has left is his beer which takes the edge off and helps him sleep at night. He suggests she figure out who she is and what she wants, but she'll have to do it without him because he's done. She asks about the boys and if he's out of their lives too. He thinks she should have asked herself that before she slept with Nikolas. She doesn't want him to punish the boys and wants to know what to expect so she can prepare them. He says to tell them he loves them and he will see them soon. He will have a lawyer call her when he wants to visit them because he thinks the less they see of each other the better. He can barely stand to look at her right now, so she leaves. Lucky continues to drink and threatens to shut Jake's down if Coleman doesn't continue to serve him. Coleman reluctantly does so, but warns there's a point when alcohol stops numbing the pain and just makes you stupid. He adds Lucky has decided he has nothing left to lose, but hopes he doesn't let it be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Johnny comes in and sits at the bar drinking, as he badmouths the PCPD to Lucky. Johnny continues to goad Lucky until he throws him on the bar and puts a gun to his head.
Coleman is happy to see Kate walk into Jake's and pours her some champagne he ordered just for her. They discuss the movie "Nine" because he has a poster of it hanging up and Kate says it classes up the joint. He tells her she does that all on her own and Kate offers to get tickets for them to attend the movie premiere. Lisa and Robin walk in after losing their patient. Lisa acts detached from it and orders a shot of tequila. They sit at a table and discuss Lisa's past as a doctor and then talk about Patrick. Lisa thinks he will believe he could have saved her patient and fears he may be right. Back at the bar, Kate discusses Maxie failing to get Franco to do the photo shoot, but Coleman sticks up for her. He does say that Kate could have sealed the deal though and she flirts with him. Coleman thinks Maxie reminds Kate of herself and makes a few astute observations. As they talk, they move in closer and he kisses her.
At Jake's Maxie apologizes for neglecting Spinelli and wants to focus on them tonight. She turns off her phone to prove how important he is to her. A sad Spinelli wonders if there is something else she wants to tell him and when she doesn't confess anything, he says he has important things to do and leaves. Maxie talks with Coleman about Spinelli when Lulu walks in. Coleman says drinks will be on the house as long as they put in a good word with their sassy boss. After Coleman walks away, Lulu says she feels patronized by Dominic and Maxie asks Lulu for her help with Franco.
Johnny sits at the bar at Jake's and tells Coleman Olivia is in love with Sonny, as well as with him. As he cleans, Coleman says he doesn't think he should dump her just because she has an 'itch' for someone else. Later, Olivia walks in and Johnny isn't thrilled to learn that Coleman is playing cupid. Coleman suggests he be grateful for what he has and leaves the two of them alone. Johnny wonders how many times he'll let himself be played for a chump before he walks away, but all he cares about is being with her. Olivia wishes she could stop feeling what she does for Sonny, but she can't. He can either take her the way that she is or end it. She hopes he doesn't do the latter, but maybe he should. Johnny gets up and says he should run in the opposite direction, but he's always been a little nuts and kisses her.
Michael comes to Jake's and Coleman refuses to serve him. Michael throws his Corinthos weight around, but Coleman isn't swayed.
Patrick and Lisa go to Jake's to celebrate after their successful surgery, as Robin walks in. Robin gets them some drinks and Lisa learns Robin isn't drinking because of her meds, but doesn't get the specifics. Coleman stops by their table and hits on Lisa and tells Robin he has a spot reserved for her for karaoke. Patrick encourages her to take it. Luke drags Tracy into Jake's for karaoke, as Lulu joins them. Tracy is none too pleased so she orders Coleman's finest scotch. Mac and Alexis walk in together and Mac encourages an uptight Alexis to have fun. He says it's not a date, just friends out for the evening. Diane and Max make their presence known and Ethan joins his family as Coleman announces he has a bottle of Puerto Rican rum for the best karaoke act. Over at the bar, Diane tells Max she missed him and that she has a song in her heart for him. Coleman introduces Diane and she belts out "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" to her man. After she's done, Diane encourages Alexis and Mac to sing and they perform a duet of "Dancing in the Streets," which gets the whole crowd up and dancing. As they dance around, Alexis lays a kiss on Mac. After a sullen Dante has shown up to sit with Lulu, Luke and Ethan sing "Stray Cat Strut," much to an apparently drunk Tracy's delight who even gets on stage and dances. After karaoke is over, Max plays a song on the jukebox and dances with Diane, as Mac asks Alexis to the dance floor and Patrick and Robin follow suit. Ethan offers his hand to Lisa and they take a twirl, as do Luke and Tracy, after Luke has won the bottle of rum.
Patrick comes home and finds Robin with a tub of beer his ex-girlfriend, Lisa, sent him as a thank you for the consultation. Matt, Mac and Coleman join Patrick to partake in the beer and he tells the guys about Lisa as they watch the game. Louise comes by and Patrick asks Robin to tape a video of the guys and Louise thanking Lisa for the beer. As they watch the game, Louise impresses the men with her football knowledge. Robin comes out with food and asks Mac if he can babysit on Friday, but he sheepishly tells her he goes out for Karaoke on Fridays. Patrick gets a call from Lisa and Robin takes note when he tells Lisa, "I wish you were here too."
Kate comes to Jake's, much to Coleman's delight and asks for a beer with a shot of whiskey. Coleman asks what she's upset about and she talks about work and then says someone she loves is hell bent on destroying herself and the people around her. Kate wants to blow the secret wide open, but there would be too much damage.
A distraught Carly asks Kelly what her baby's chances of survival are if she is born tonight. Kelly says there are steps they can take to stop her premature labor and tells her to calm down and think positive thoughts. Kelly leaves and Johnny and Coleman try to reassure Carly and Jax that everything will be alright.

Soaps Boards :: The Young and the Restless Forum :: OT - HIMYM finale yah or nay?
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
I wasn't a regular viewer of the show, but did watch this final season and I'm really disappointed. I loved Robin and Barney! And I loved Ted and the "Mother". I actually thought they would end up with a double-wedding. I just can't believe they ended it with Ted and Robin.
hopey pix
Unfortunately,Nay!It got down to all the other imitators levels,with too many lame jokes!They wanted to be like the new guys,and had no depth or much interest!Ted's so namby-pamby and chooses woman on the fly!It's always,I love you!But,I was only glad he ended up with Robin at the end!They deserved better!!CBS,why do you have to destroy your shows?I loved this one so much in the beginning,and you made it ordinary like the others!!It was nice to see Lindsay Fonsenca in the kid part at the end,she was one of the Colleens once on Y&R!!
I haven't watched much this season at all but did watch the finale. I thought it was a let down. I always figured it would be Ted and Robin in the end but really liked the mother .
Mixed reviews from me. Loved that Barney fell in love with his daughter and changed his ways. Hated the divorce. Hadn't watched for the last couple years because it had gotten so raunchy but felt the mother character could've been developed for a year. Why didn't Ted marry the baby mama when she first got pregnant (and could still wear her dress)? Glad in the end they all kind of grew up emotionally.
Huge Nay! It feels like this last season was a big waste of time for Barney and Robin just to end up divorced. They could have just done half of the season if they wanted to draw it out and then spend the other half on Ted and Tracy.
