I've never had this concern with any other phone and I don't now. I just don't think this is a major concern for the average consumer. Everybody I speak to that I've met and I bring this up, the response is always the same, "what will that do?"
I don't care about personalization or forcing features on a phone that it wasn't built for. I hear jailbreakers complain all the time about battery life and I've also heard some of them say they get pretty decent battery life.
I say if it's a major concern for all iPhone users, open the damn phone but I really believe this is a small part of the phone community. Keep it closed as far as I'm concerned.
Closed vs. Open, Control vs. Chaos -- What's Best for Apple, the iPhone and iPad?
Yesterday at Macworld two events helped clarify something I've been discussing with Dieter for a while now -- Apple, the iPhone and iPad, and closed vs. open systems, control vs. chaos. These two events were a presentation by John Gruber of Daring Fireball concerning the 10 biggest problems faced by Apple, and a brief conversation with Leo Laporte of TWiT about Google Buzz.
As part of his Round Robin BlackBerry review, Dieter departed on a rant about BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) of epic proportions. A closed communications protocol, he argued, was untenable. BlackBerry users create incredible amounts of content in BBM (yes, chat is content) but it's all completely closed off and owned by RIM. If you leave BlackBerry, you can't take your BBM content with you. If RIM ever disappears, all your BBM content is lost. Something like Gmail on the other hand, works across platform and if you switch from BlackBerry to iPhone to Android, you enter your Gmail account and everything is there. Since you can access it via standard protocols like POP and IMAP, you can also make local copies and upload them to a different service (i.e. upload your mail to a non-Google IMAP folder).
Laporte made a similar comment about Twitter and Facebook. If either Twitter or Facebook were to fail, all your status updates, all your wall posts, all your friends and those you follow and/or follow you would be gone.
I don't know if Google Buzz will prove to be an open protocol and system for sharing status, location, and relationships, and certainly it's implementation shows signs of the typical Google "release now, fix later, polish never" model, but something needs to.
And this brings me rather circuitously back to Apple and the iPhone. As much as a certain segment decries Apple as "closed", in terms of protocols they're remarkably open. They use IMAP for mail, and open-sourced CalDAV and CardDAV for calendaring and contacts. They use WebDAV for web directories and WebKit for Safari. iChat supports most IM protocols, including Jabber. They use BSD Linux and the Darwin kernel for the core of Mac and iPhone.
Apple is generally built on top of open technologies, and one of their core strengths is melding that open architecture with tightly controlled (i.e. proprietary) user interface layers (and developer APIs, and App Store review processes).
For some, that last part is an absolute deal breaker. But they have Ubantu and Open Moko. (Yes, even Android is closed -- you can't muck about with Gmail or Google Maps apps). For mainstream users, however, the front end, the user experience, "just works" to the point where it's become a cliche.
I said it previously in my Round Robin summation, to use Google you must give up privacy, to use Apple you must give up control. (I don't even want to think about what I'm giving up to use Google on Apple!)
So proprietary interfaces to open technologies -- how does that work for us? What happens when we use something not controlled by Apple?
John Gruber suggested AT&T as an example. Indeed, he listed it a one of Apple's problems. Now, some people get great AT&T service while others have connection problems that have become near-legendary. Either way, it's hurt media and mainstream perceptions about the iPhone.
Gruber also mentioned Big Media (movie and TV studios, music labels) as a problem. They want to charge more than the market will bear (certainly enough to make free-as-in-torrent an alternative) and make less available via iTunes than via a retro 1980s corner video store.
Is it a coincidence that some of the main aspects of the iPhone and iTunes that Apple has absolutely no control over are some that cause the greatest amount of user frustration?
(The App Store and its review process mostly create developer frustration, and Gruber listed this as a problem as well, though one that's slightly improving since the holiday shut-down).
So, we come back to and down to Apple liking to control the user-facing aspects of the iPhone (and iPod touch, and soon, iPad) but using and promoting open standards for a lot of the technology underneath. While this approach might clash philosophically with some users (and again, Android, Palm, etc. aren't open, they're just more open) and practically for others (power users who want the control themselves), its proved remarkably effective for casual, mainstream users, and for power-users willing to give up some control for a better experience.
Except for that part about AT&T and Hollywood, but then those are controlled with little concern for user experience...

Closed vs. Open, Control vs. Chaos -- What's Best for Apple, the iPhone and iPad?
I've never had this concern with any other phone and I don't now. I just don't think this is a major concern for the average consumer. Everybody I speak to that I've met and I bring this up, the response is always the same, "what will that do?"
For phones, I agree. However for something like the iPad, this "closedness" will clash with preconceived notions on what's "allowed" on a general-purpose computer.
@Mike Manzano:
I agree in general.
I could see two forms for the iPad, closed for Ma and Pa Polyester, and open (OSX) for J. Random Hacker, or corporate use.
If your DVD player is still blinking midnight you get the Closed version and more than likely it will do everything you need it to do.
But locked down is not going to fly in the corporate world.
@Rene: tow = two.
i agree with bothe mike and phillip. But I think that consumers dnt realize the power they hold. One of the most brilliant things that Google and Microsoft have jumped on (especially wirh w7 as of late for the latter) is that their products are user controled. whatever the user wants it gets, the proof is in their domination of their fields. Even the iphone gives u a certain amount of leeway if used properly and we have seen what that has done for the apple and att.
I've been jailbroken for about 6 months, and have been really surprised how well written the jailbroken apps in Cydia are. I used to have a Blackberry, and you would get all kinds of garbage that would screw up your phone.
I would say the Cydia apps are AT LEAST on par with the App store apps, and are probably better. And, let's face it, I've never seen garbage come out of Cydia like the latest official Facebook app. Still waiting for notification sounds to work...
So, what I am saying is, the unofficial apps are legit. Nothing to be afraid of.
An open cloud if controlled chaos... :)
@Joe McG:
for apps that change the whole iPhone experience sure jailbreak apps are better. But compare a jailbroken game to an official one and you'll see where the quality concerns arise..
The way I see it there's nothing wrong with it for me! I have my app store apps, I can do a 20 second jailbreak and also get bitesms, backgrounder, proswitcher, and other jailbreak apps that are now essential to me. I would disagree with the warranty-voiding, but, all you have to do is simply restore your iPhone before you bring it in and there you go. I've done it like 5 times now including sending it in via mail.
It really depends on the user and the users needs... the majority of people don't even use half the functions their phones have. I think that everyone should have the choice to customize their products to their own needs though.
I think Apple's approach of placing these controls on the iPhone has made it the big succuss it has been. They need to control the user experiance so you reduce performance problems with the phone. I think as the hardware expands overtime to more powerful hardware they will slowly open it. Again, they don't want to jeopordize the user experiance.
Your credibility discussing open source would be improved if you could at least learn the names. This is at least the third time you've written "Ubantu," and I've seen people correct you before.
To add on to what Suspenders is saying, it might also help to know what you're talking about.
"They use BSD Linux and the Darwin kernel for the core of Mac and iPhone."
No. First, BSD is not Linux. BSD is a Unix-like operating system that Apple drew much of the code for Darwin from. For a while they also, in a very un-Apple-like fashion, pushed their own enhancements back to the BSD community via the Open Darwin project. Alas, Open Darwin was shut down some time ago. Technically Linux is a kernel and nothing more. There is no part of Linux in OS X, mostly due to liscencing issues.
This may seem like a small issue, but for some of us (especially people who read blogs like this) these factual errors are a big annoyance, and hinder credibility of the blog.
as much as veryine wants apple to do this, I believe this is highly unlikely. Think about it, they've got 100 million? Ppl on the iPhone/iPod and how many actually know about jailbreaking? I'd say 5%. There maybe more but they'd be very amateur at it. Now once the general population begins to experiment, it opens the door to potential problems they may face. This could be user error or issues in the jb apps. This just leads to an enormous amount of customer care support. I just don't see this happening at this point in time.
I agree that my suggestion is highly unlikely. I understand that there are very few people who Jailbreak at the moment, this is probably due to the complexity. There are so many different tools, each with a different set of rules for different models. It's not easy to understand. Once you have your device Jailbroken you have to be careful when new a firmwares comes out, and hope that there is still a loop hole in the code to enable you to continue to use Cydia apps.
By having a simple switch built within the firmware makes, it easier for a user to make the choice, they dont have to worry about losing all there non Apple approved apps each time a new firmware revision is released. Apple can make the warning as big as they like, they can say enabling this removes Apple support from your device, and a system restore will be required should any issues arrise just the same as Jailbreaking.
Personally, I would like an easier way to make the choice.

An invasive plant workshop for teachers only
June 12 - 16, 2011
Congratulations to this year's PLANT CAMP graduates! You were such a great group to work with. We're looking forward to a continued partnership as we strive to bring the invasive plant issue into Florida classrooms.
The Florida Invasive Plant Education Initiative is the first of its kind to provide intensive in-service training about invasive plants for Florida science teachers (i.e., upper elementary, middle and high school levels). This annual 5-day workshop, held in mid-June, includes field trips and rigorous hands-on plant identification activities to provide teachers with greater background knowledge on the topic and to generate interest in the curriculum we've been developing. Teachers also earn 32 hours of professional in-service points. So far, more than 180 teachers have completed our full PLANT CAMP training and at least 1,200 more teachers have been introduced to the materials/lessons as a result graduates sharing what they've learned with their colleagues.
It is hoped that as a result of this collaboration, we can begin to give young people a better understanding of the challenges we face from invasive species and provide them with the tools they need to become informed and responsible environmental stewards as adults.
Please stay in touch!

Toby Harnden at the Telegraph says John King says that Gibbs got the boot because Daley didn't want him around:
It's being reported by John King on CNN right now that Gibbs wanted to be a presidential counsellor – something he's been putting about for quite a while – but William Daley, the new chief of staff, nixed this because he believed that too many cooks would spoil the presidential broth. So that's why Gibbs is out.
I think I was one of the first to report on the pending White House shake-up back on December 9 on MSNBC, and again on FDL on December 20:
The President is supposedly working behind the scenes with Pete Rouse to clean house after the first of the year. It's rumored that Gibbs will be gone (hard to see how he can stay, after the President treated him like a garden gnome in front of Bill Clinton and the New York Times). Likewise Patrick Gaspards and the rest of the political team.
But you didn't have to be exceptionally wired in to see that the President had lost confidence in Gibbs. That NY Times piece on the Obama/Clinton press conference was painful to read:
The leader of the free world and the ex-leader wandered a deserted hallway, past the offices of the senior advisers, only to discover the door to the press corps briefing room locked.
Had it not been, Mr. Obama and Mr. Clinton might have discovered only a few reporters milling about or catching a few minutes of sleep. Instead, they turned around and found a junior staffer sitting outside of the office of Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary.
"Do you know how to open up the briefing room?" Mr. Obama asked the staffer, Katie Hogan.
"Yeah," Mr. Clinton said, "can you help us unlock it?"
Hearing that, Mr. Gibbs walked out.
"I said, 'what are you guys up to?'" Mr. Gibbs recalled later. "President Obama said, 'we're looking for some reporters.'"
"What have you guys got on your mind," Mr. Gibbs –- always cautious — countered.
The two presidents told Mr. Gibbs that they had been talking about the controversial tax compromise that Mr. Obama had reached with Republicans and wanted Mr. Clinton to make a few remarks.
President Obama decides to give a spur-of-the-moment press conference. With Bill Clinton. If the door to the briefing room had been unlocked, they would have walked right in and started talking to reporters without even letting Gibbs know.
But because the briefing room is locked, they stick their heads into his office. Obama asks a junior staffer to unlock the room for them. Not Gibbs. The only reason Gibbs even knows about it is because he overhears them, and comes out of his office to ask about what's happening.
This is Gibbs' job. Obama totally humiliates him in front of Clinton and the junior staffer, and treats him like he's completely superfluous to the process of holding a rather significant press conference.
That was on December 10. [cont'd.] Now it's entirely possible that Obama had already settled on the choice of Daley at that point, and Daley had nixed Gibbs. But you didn't have to be the Amazing Kreskin to see that the President had lost confidence in Gibbs, and that isn't a relationship a President wants to have with his Press Secretary.
I'm hearing that the two top candidates to replace Gibbs are Jay Carney and Stephanie Cutter. Carney may have the inside track because they want a Tony Snow — someone the press corps will be more reluctant to criticize because they view him as one of their own. But the campaign team knows that the White House has some fence mending to do with women, and having a woman as the face of the administration may help them on that front — especially if Harnden is right, and Jarrett is going to get her "wings clipped."

When we announced The Xerces Society as one of our 2013-2015 10% GiveBack Partners, we were well-educated about their work. What we didn't know was how incredibly passionate their supporters are! Since our commitment to donate 10% of our annual net profits to The Xerces Society, we have received countless emails and phone calls from members, thanking us. Their passion is infectious; my interest, piqued!
So, Xerces Society, what's with the name?
This conservation non-profit is named after the Xerces Blue, an extinct species of butterfly. The Xerces Blue is believed to be the first American butterfly species to become extinct as a result of loss of habitat caused by urban development.
Bring back the pollinators!
Want to help bees, butterflies and other animals that help pollinate our planet? The Xerces Society's Bring Back the Pollinators Campaign works with four simple principles that will easily turn your backyard into a place where pollinators can thrive! Become an expert at attracting beneficial insects to your landscape with the help of Xerces Society's book, Attracting Native Pollinators: Protecting North America's Bees and Butterflies.
Why their work is vital…
Of the more than one million species of animals in the world, 94 percent are invertebrates. They pollinate, spread seeds, recycle nutrients, and are a food source for wildlife. Without them – whole ecosystems would collapse. But these little guys are often overlooked with decisions are made about environmental policy and land management. The Xerces Society speaks up on their behalf through advocacy, policy, education and applied research.
Become a member of The Xerces Society. We promise – you'll be in good company

TUESDAY, Aug. 26, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The risk of complications when implanting deep brain stimulation devices in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease is no greater in older patients than younger ones, a new study shows.
The treatment involves placing electrodes in specific parts of the brain. The new findings should ease concerns about using the devices in patients older than 75, the Duke University researchers said.
They analyzed data from more than 1,750 Parkinson's patients who had the devices implanted between 2000 and 2009. Of those patients, 7.5 percent had at least one complication within 90 days of the surgery. Complications included wound infections, bleeding, pneumonia and pulmonary embolism.
However, the overall risk of complications did not significantly increase with age, the researchers reported Aug. 25 in the journal JAMA Neurology.
Older patients were more likely to develop pneumonia compared with younger patients. However, pneumonia is somewhat common among older people who have surgery, noted study senior author Dr. Nandan Lad, director of the Duke Neuro-Outcomes Lab in Durham, N.C.
"Parkinson's disease is one of the most common movement disorders and it primarily afflicts older people," Lad said in a Duke news release. "For many, movement disorders can be managed with medications. But as the disease progresses -- and as people age -- tremors and side effects of medication, including involuntary muscle movements, are less controllable. So it's this older population for whom DBS could be quite beneficial."
"Our study should help patients and families considering DBS as a potential treatment option for managing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease," Lad said. "It also provides guidance to surgeons about the risks of common complications among older patients."
More information
The U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has more about deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease.

Great story, in this case thankfully with a good outcome for both the boy and the dog!!! He really is a hero.
A Friend of ours who breed Borzoi in France had a similar experience a couple of years ago. She was walking the brother of our Borzoi, his name was Frant, in a small town north of Nîmes and an SUV jumped on the curb. Frant muscled her out of the way and was struck by the car. She had no injury at all, but Frant died a short time later in her arms. The driver sped away and was never caught.
Frant is our canine hero and every year on his birthday, all those of us who have one of his brothers or sisters lift a glass in his honor!
So... this year, ( the birthday is in April), we will also add Geo the Hero to the list of honorees, he deserves a toast as well!

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Nick Saban says he's "very committed to the University of Alabama" and referred to past comments saying he wasn't interested in leaving.
The Crimson Tide coach was asked Wednesday about an Associated Press report regarding his agent's conversation in January about possibly replacing Mack Brown at Texas.
An email sent by former Texas Regent Tom Hicks says Saban's agent, Jimmy Sexton, indicated that the Texas job was the only one the coach would consider leaving Tuscaloosa for.
Asked about that account, Saban says "no one's said anything like that."
Top-ranked Alabama plays No. 10 LSU on Saturday night. Saban is pursuing his fourth national title in five years.
Hicks detailed the January phone call in a Sept. 24 email obtained Tuesday by AP through an open-records request.

Findings from this survey offer insight into how our MHealthy efforts are perceived by our University community and help us more clearly understand the critical role leaders at all levels play in ensuring that U-M has a culture where faculty and staff are encouraged and enabled to engage in healthy behaviors. We are making great strides, but there are also opportunities for improvement. Overall, we found that:
I encourage you to read this report and reflect on what you can do to strengthen our foundation for a culture of health.
A recent online survey conducted by the U-M Health Management Research Center of 635 faculty and 1,946 staff members aimed to assess the perception of U-M's workplace environment and culture in regards to supporting a healthy, high-performing workforce.
The survey measured two areas, "perception of environmental support" and "perception of cultural support."
ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPORT – the university scores in the "medium" range with opportunities for improvement:
CULTURAL SUPPORT – the university also scores in the "medium" range:
MHealthy will use the information as it refines its programs and helps units across all campuses foster a culture of health. For instance, the issue of stress continues to show up in surveys and feedback as a major concern, and we'll soon launch a wide-ranging program called "MHealthy Thrive!" to help individuals and units. We also plan to do more with back care in 2013, another ongoing area of concern for faculty and staff.
Dr. Dee Edington, Emeritus Professor of Kinesiology and Founding Director of the U-M Health Management Research Center, recently spoke to the Business & Finance leadership team about the culture survey. He challenged all leaders to help the university reach and exceed its wellness goals and recommended that we follow the lead of safety and quality by integrating health into the environment and culture. Some key moments from his talk:
After Dr. Edington's presentation, B&F leaders agreed that the three-year evaluation completed earlier this year showed important risk reductions in faculty and staff health and that all managers should examine how they can make workplace health a part of the culture of their teams.

Summer crafts keep the kids busy when they are home from school, and helps fight boredom. So the next time your child says, "Mom, I'm bored! What can I do?", please keep this page handy and pick out a craft from the list.
Many of you may know that I love making recycled crafts, using materials that would normally be thrown away. Always keep a few empty toilet paper tube rolls and paper towel tube rolls. I also like to save a few empty soup cans and plastic pop bottles. Keep a couple stashed away and the next time your kids are feeling bored, you'll have the material on hand to make some of the fun crafts I have below.
Of course there are crafts for adults too, such as some beach inspired home decorations, and pretty things for your yard or garden
Enjoy your summer!

The high prices of renting a limo service can often cause a lot of stress when hiring for personal or business usage. If you are a business individual and you constantly travel, hiring affordable limo services could prove very advantageous to you in terms of both money and time.
Atlanta is a city that is thought to be a hub of many types of industries. It's airports are some of the busiest in the world. Now days, many Atlanta limo rental companies are offering affordable services due to the large amount of visitors that arrive and depart from the airports. In this situation, an affordable limo service would be very beneficial. Usually renting a limo is very expensive and unreasonable; however, an established company will offer great rates for their customers who choose limo service Atlanta.
Contact Limo Services Now
Like mentioned before, Atlanta airports are seen as some of the world's busiest airports, and it's difficult to find an affordable method of transportation. Therefore, if you are looking to make the process quick and easy, an affordable limo service would be ideal for you. The greatest advantage that comes with hiring an affordable Atlanta limo service is that your transportation will be ready and waiting as soon as you arrive to the airport. You will be able to reach your office or home in a more comfortable and hassle-free way.
What To Look For In Limo Service
When you are thinking about hiring a limo service as your method of transportation, you should only make your decision after you have carefully researched and considered the following:
- The limo service's reputation and how long they have been in business
- The feedback from previous customers
- The condition of the limo you will be using
- How much they are charging for your transportation
It's also very important that you research the drivers of the company. The drivers all need to be professional, qualified and licensed to take you where you need to be. Make sure that they will be able to get you to your destination in a timely, yet safe manner. Once you have determined all of this information, you can then choose the limo company of your choice. If you're ready to take a comfortable ride from the airport to your home, or from your home to the airport, you can rely on the services of an Atlanta limo service company.

U18s Win at Portsmouth
Sunday, 6th Nov 2011 12:20
Central defender Jide Maduako and striker Jack Marriott were on the scoresheet as Town's U18s beat Portsmouth 2-1 at the Wellington Sports Ground in Eastleigh on Saturday morning.
Jack Maloney put the home side in front at half-time, following up after Cody Cropper had saved.
In the second half, Maduako levelled with a header and Marriott, scoring for the fifth successive match, seized on a poor back pass to claim all three points.
U18s: Cropper, Jones, Maduako, Schrøder, October, Meikle, Thorsteinnssen (Timlin 60), Bennett (Lawrence 60), Leddy, Simmons (Scotcher 74), Marriott. Unused: O'Donnell, Winter.

So, How Have They Done? by GeorgeITFC24
It's been roughly 12 months now since last year's summer signings have been at the club. There have been some great moments from our new players, and equally a few lows! But how well have they done in their debut seasons?

Norwich Promotion: A Good Thing Or A Bad Thing? by calumberjack
Now I know what you're thinking but hear me out. Celebrating the promotion of our greatest rivals seems spineless and cowardly, especially as they were the ones that dumped us out of the play-offs, but as I sat watching the second spectacular goal scored by that **** Nathan Redmond, I couldn't help but ask myself whether this was really such a bad thing.
Gerken Vs Bialkowski by GeorgeITFC24
Looking back on the season our two goalkeepers shared the starting spot this campaign. Dean Gerken spent almost every match of the 2013/14 in the Town goal as the undisputed number one.
Goals From Midfield by rickw
Looking back on this season and most of us would admit Ipswich reached or exceeded our expectations, but after coming so close to success we are now all hungry for more - and for Ipswich to take that next step and challenge for automatic promotion.

If you're someone who hits the snooze button when your alarm goes off every morning, trying to eke out just a few more minutes of sleep, it's time to end the habit. The Week cites an essay in Pacific Standard that says of the snooze button: "Not only do we delay the start of our days, but we compromise the very sleep we are trying to steal. . . . When we hear the first sound of the alarm, our bodies release adrenaline and cortisol, hormones that wake us, interrupting our natural sleep cycle to make us alert.
Surrendering to the temptation of the snooze erases that hormonal surge: Our bodies try to reenter the deeper periods of sleep. Only those restorative levels of sleep take a lot longer than nine minutes to enter, so every snooze confuses our bodies even more." The essay argues, in fact, that "snooze sleep" is worse than not getting any extra sleep because it throws off your circadian rhythms and you'll actually feel groggier than if you'd just gotten up naturally.

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) — Sevier County authorities estimate the loss in a wildfire earlier this month at about $12 million.
The Mountain Press (http://bit.ly/11RwU5A ) reported the figure includes only the value of the cabins destroyed or damaged in the March 17 fire at Black Bear Ridge Resort and not damage to the property.
County Emergency Management Agency Director John Matthews said authorities have revised downward the number of cabins affected by the fire, reducing it from 81 to 73. Matthews said it was discovered that some concrete pads had not yet been built upon.
The dollar figure is based upon property values on file at the county assessor's office.
It appears only one person lost a permanent home. Elmer King was evacuated from his home atop one of the ridges. King was staying with family members in the area.
There were no deaths and only minor injuries to a few firefighters.
Matthews said there isn't likely to be much cost to the county from the response to the fire that burned through 160 acres, just outside of Pigeon Forge. That's despite the involvement of 270 responders from 48 different agencies.
"It's on the assumption next week it'll be on their backyard and they'll need everybody to come help them, too," he said.
Officials estimate firefighters saved about 200 other cabins from the fire. Timely heavy rainfall on March 18 helped douse the flames after firefighters had contained them.

Product description
In a playing career spanning nearly two decades, Peter Cormack became a real fans' favourite both at Hibernian FC and with the mighty Liverpool team of the 1970s. Snatched from under the noses of local rivals Hearts, Peter Cormack soon established himself as a skilful and immensely talented midfielder in an excellent Hibs side and went on to score 75 goals in 182 appearances including in the legendary game against Napoli when Hibs beat the Italian giants 5-0 at Easter Road to overturn a seemingly impossible 4-1 deficit. In 1970, he moved to Nottingham Forest, partly as a result of receiving a 12-match ban for two consecutive red cards, and realizing it was finally time to move on. After Forest were relegated, Peter Cormack was signed for Liverpool by the legendary Bill Shankly and joined Reds heroes Kevin Keegan, Tommy Smith and Emlyn Hughes in a team that would later go on to conquer the footballing world. In Cormack's time, however, Liverpool were warming up for European Cup glory with a League Championship, a UEFA Cup double and an FA Cup victory. After a serious injury, Ray Kennedy took over his role in the team and Cormack's time at Liverpool came to an abrupt end. Following a stint at Bristol City and a short time playing alongside George Best back at Hibs, Cormack went into football management, with mixed fortunes, but his lasting achievements in the game both north and south of the border are told with honesty and humour along with some rare insights into some of the greats of the game.

Great jacket
By Allie

About Me Casual Dresser
Best Uses
Comments about Volcom Strategy Jacket - Women's:
I live in the mountains and it can be windy and cold and everything covered by the jacket is toasty. It has plenty of pockets and the side zip is great. I wish the sleeve cuffs were a little bigger but I'm sure they'll stretch out the more I wear it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great fit!
By Kj
from Ashland, oregon
Really like the fit of the jacket. The length of the sleeves and back of the jacket are perfect- I like them a bit on the longer side. Great for snowboarding. No powder skirt but the length will make that not an issue. It's not as warm as my 650 down but I think it will do when it's not a true winter storm. Overall, very happy with the jacket!

1. Start the planning process at least 12 months in advance
2. Gather a group of like minded people about you (not a
3. Clear the ground and observe all the protocols with your
Bishop and the Parish Priest responsible for the pilgrimage
4. Produce a computerised database of all target parishes (ie all
in your Diocese), specialist groups such as Legion of Mary,
Catholic Mothers, SVP., Knights of St Columba (us) and then
mail or email them with details PLUS an invitation to attend.
5. Print off posters and leaflets inviting groups and individuals to
attend - stress that they do not have to be members of your
group to join the pilgrimage. Then send them out every two
months to your database. Arrange a choir and altar servers
for the day. Arrange for a full colour A4 insert sheet in
whatever periodicals are at your disposal.
6. Create a blog called "The XYZ 2012 Pilgrimage" and keep it
constantly updated with information including local
accommodation, bus/rail links, Catholic history of the
region etc.
7. Ask the Bishop for support (financially, spiritually and
physically in galvanising lay groups who may respond more
readily to the Bishop than to your group).
8. Personally contact a number of priests (the more the merrier)
and invite them to be part of the choir on the sanctuary. Ask a
prominent priest to give sermon or address on the day.
9. Issue a regular series of press releases to the Catholic press
and to local, regional and, even, on occasions, national media.
10. Contact all religious orders in your Diocese or region and
invite them to send groups to be part of the Blessed
Sacrament Procession of Honour. Do the same with
Catholic troops of Guides, Scouts etc but invite them to form
the Guard of Honour.
11. Arrange the programme so that not only is there a logical
sequence but also a number of 'highlights' to the day eg
'Crowning of Our Lord/Our Lady' as appropriate, Procession,
Rosary etc.
Also, most importantly, allow for those who normally fast for 3
hours before Holy Communion, to be accommodated in the
12. Organise a series of local events such as parish walks to the
pilgrimage point, Rosary processions through the town/village,
local prominent Catholics to participate, refreshments
and....above all else....ask your Bishop to open the pilgrimage
with his actual blessing on the day.
Enjoy a successful Pilgrimage!

George Will observes that the Olympic-bid speeches by Obama and his wife were noteworthy for their dreadfulness. He writes:
Both Obamas gave heartfelt speeches about . . . themselves. Although the working of the committee's mind is murky, it could reasonably have rejected Chicago's bid for the 2016 Games on aesthetic grounds — unless narcissism has suddenly become an Olympic sport.
As Will notes, it wasn't simply the egotism of the appearance but of the speeches themselves that should give us pause. A festival of "I" and "me" and personal tales of playing ball with dad. Who cares? Well, not the IOC.
This is, of course, nothing new. Obama's entire presidential campaign was constructed on nonsensical rhetoric and an inflated sense of his own fabulousness. From "We are the change we have been waiting for" to the embarrassing Berlin rally to the knee-jerk "I am not George W. Bush" approach to nearly every issue of national security — it's all been about him. And he has a remarkable lack of ideas and facts to impart. He lectures us on racial profiling because he knows best (but not the facts). He blankets the airwaves but with nothing much to say. He champions health care but lacks a plan with his name on it. And then he goes to the Olympics to tell us how swell it was when everyone came out to celebrate his election. He is the quintessential celebrity — famous for being famous but for not much else, and lacking enough material for anything beyond late-night talk-show interviews.
What was a vaguely creepy cult-of-personality approach to campaigning has become the stuff of parody. And what's worse, we now get the narcissism in stereo — from both Obamas.
This might be more tolerable if this president had accomplished something. Every leader deserves a victory lap now and then. But considering all that he has actually done in office — passed an overstuffed and ineffective stimulus bill, alienated key allies around the world, picked a ranting lunatic as the favorite candidate in Honduras, gave the Iranians a free ride and an open invitation for chats in Geneva, and pitted the finest military leaders ever assembled against civilian leaders — it might be time for some humility. And a moratorium on TV appearances might help, too.

Bingo Money Tip No. 1: Buy Cheap Cards
There are often a number of different cards you can buy at a bingo hall. They have different prices and prizes. To maximize your enjoyment and get the most out of your bingo bankroll, buy the cheapest cards.
The prizes for the most expensive cards are usually not that much better than the prizes for the cheaper ones. You'll also get more play from the money you have brought. Wise bingo money management is to make sure that the more expensive deck really rewards you with much better prizes. However, this is usually not the case.
Bingo Money Tip No. 2: Buy Card Packs
Some bingo halls will sell packs of cards. These packs are often cheaper than buying cards individually. This gives you a greater chance to win and more opportunities to play than you would get buying single cards.
Bingo Money Tip No. 3: Go Partners
You might consider teaming up with another bingo fan. You can share expenses and prizes. This increases your chance to win (or decreases your expenses), and helps you make bingo a more social activity.
If you find you can't easily share a particular prize, try making an arrangement. You can agree that player A will win the prize on the first game, Player B on the second game, and so forth. You can also pool all the prizes at the end and decide who wants which prizes.
