Created for NZ band - KNIVES AT NOON.
Filmed on active marine volcano Te Puia o Whakaari - White Island, 50km off the east coast of New Zealand.
Due to the mid Winter production schedule we were forced to wait weeks on end for a day of fine weather in order for Volcanic Air to safely chopper over our crew (and on top of that, the Volcano had to be on good behavior too). It was nerve-wracking having everything on the line and being entirely at the mercy of an active volcano.
Thankfully, the time finally came and White Island turned on a perfectly amazing day... and the wind was conveniently blowing the toxic sulphuric gases away from us!
A huge thanks to everyone for their effort and support in making this project possible.

Exciting New AGCO Partnership Promises Breakthrough Innovation
As part of the FuseTM Technologies "open approach" to precision farming, AGCO has maintained a focus on developing new industry partnerships as well as expanding existing partnerships – all to provide our customers with the best possible solutions. Recently, AGCO and Appareo Systems have agreed to enter a joint venture, building on the existing Intelligent Agricultural Solutions (IAS) business structure, to allow for breakthrough agricultural innovation. This collaboration will focus on the need for more advanced electronic technology centered around data collection, wireless communication, advanced sensors and intelligent machine control.
The joint venture will develop technology for advanced machine control systems, sensing applications, automated subsystems, machine prognostics and machine health monitoring, specific protein and grain control systems, and development of innovative electromechanical devices and systems. This will provide AGCO and Appareo Systems a key vehicle to deliver advanced technology and equipment management solutions, supporting a variety of crop types and markets globally.
"Global agriculture is going through a period of revolutionary change. The need for more advanced electronic technology focused on data collection, wireless communication, advanced sensors/sensor fusion and intelligent machine control has grown exponentially. As we continue to build on AGCO's Fuse strategy, we intend to leverage the new partnership with Appareo as a key driver in building the most adept and most open data system available to the industry", said Eric Hansotia, Senior Vice President, Global Harvesting, Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS). "As the agricultural industry shifts, there is a greater need for more advanced technology, and we anticipate that this partnership will provide breakthrough innovation making our customers more profitable while supporting their mixed fleet operations."

Sharing AGCO's Precision Farming Technology Offering with Customers Around the Globe
FuseTM Technologies had a comprehensive presence at tradeshows around the globe late summer and fall this year. AGCO customers had a chance to interact with current precision farming technology products, talk with Fuse experts, and hear a little about what to expect from AGCO technologies in the future.
The North America region represented Fuse Technologies at several shows – often despite unseasonably chilly and rainy weather conditions. Fuse was in attendance at InfoAg, MAGIE Show and Husker Harvest Days, and the sun came out just in time at Ohio Farm Science Review for successful field demonstrations using Auto-GuideTM 3000 and FieldStar® II. A visit to the virtual farm through the augmented reality experience at Farm Progress Show was a big hit with show attendees. You can see a sample of the full Farm Progress Show 2014 experience here. Fuse was also represented at the United States capitol at CAPA's (the Coalition for the Advancement of Precision Agriculture) inaugural Precision Ag Forum in September. Read more about that event here.
In South America, Expointer had interactive Fused Farm displays, representing AGCO's technology solutions for Massey Ferguson and Valtra. The Fuse strategy was presented in an exclusive area of the stand for both brands. The essence of the strategy was displayed by a touch screen totem, showing all of AGCO's technology products, the product benefits to customers, and AGCO's vision for precision agriculture in the future. The technology stands also featured a video wall that showed customer testimonies, discussing the positive points of having AGCO technology products (guidance, telemetry, etc.) in his machine. Another attraction was the AgCommand App simulator, also running in a touch screen totem, where customers could check some of the benefits of the system. In general customers provided very positive feedback about AGCO's Fuse initiative.
Between the 15th and 16th September, over 1,000 Mackenzie University students visited the AGCO stand during a Job Fair sponsored by the university – one of the largest and most traditional of Brazil. At the AGCO stand, students could learn about the evolution of technology in the field, interacting with the Fuse Technologies totem. AGCO´s professionals explained our global connectivity strategy, positioning our company as a leader in the development of technologies focused on farmers.
On the opposite side of the globe, the Massey Ferguson Vision of the Future events were held in the Asia Pacific (APAC) and the Europe, Africa, Middle East (EAME) regions. In Europe, the Fuse message was an integral part of cutting-edge technology conversations such as the latest in drone technology. Onsite demonstrations showed how guidance, telemetry and ISOBUS compatibility can allow Massey Ferguson customers to produce more with less. EAME hosted a Fendt Field Day as well, and recently participated at Agrosalon in Russia. At each event, customers had the opportunity to interact with AGCO technology products and learn more about the Fuse connected strategy. The 2014 tradeshow season will conclude with EIMA (International Agricultural and Gardening Machinery Exhibition) in Italy in November.
In addition to the unveiling of several new Massey Ferguson tractor models, Massey Ferguson Vision attendees in Australia were educated about the Fuse Technologies strategy and what to expect from AGCO technology products in the future. You can read more about the Australia event here. APAC also hosted a Massey Ferguson customer event.

The Fuse Contact Center Team: Supporting Our Customers Through the Entire Crop Cycle
As a supplement to the precision farming product support offered by our dealers, the FuseTM Contact Center is focused on providing the best experience for our customers. Supporting products such as AGCO's guidance systems, telemetry tools including AgCommand®—and others—our team is extensively and continuously trained and certified to guarantee we can deliver the best support to our customers around the globe.
Delivering support in a timely manner is critical in the agriculture business. Customers often call when they are in the middle of an operation. Having an expert to guide customers step-by-step on how to perform a specific task when they need the assistance can greatly reduce their downtime.
Providing this level of service is an important strategic initiative for AGCO, but what matters the most is what our customers think. Here is what some growers are saying about their experiences with the Fuse Contact Center:
"When I call I get the same guy every time. So I don't have to go through the same story again."
-Terry H., Iowa, USA
"The Fuse Contact Center called me back in a couple days to make sure my problem was resolved!"
-Carl S., Arkansas, USA
"I needed help with settings on the GPS. They understood what I was talking about. Give it a try."
-Colin L., Ontario, Canada
The Fuse Contact Center is open seven days a week, nineteen hours a day. Customers can call toll-free within their local region and receive support in eleven languages. Live chat is also available.
The Fuse Contact Center is a key part of the Fuse Technologies strategy to provide growers with the expertise and answers to run their operation more efficiently. Visit AGCOtechnologies.com to view a complete list of regional toll free numbers, products and supported languages.
Vision of the Future – Melbourne, Australia 2014
Vision of the Future, Melbourne 2014, showcased Massey Ferguson's range of machinery and technology solutions for grounds care applications right through to modern broad acre farming operations.
With 4,500m2 of exhibition space and over 80 display units, information kiosks and multimedia displays all under one roof, Vision of the Future was a great opportunity for agricultural operators across the APAC region to see the latest in Massey Ferguson products and Fuse technologies before the busy Harvest period.
Running over three days, the event unveiled new Massey Ferguson products as part of a wider global release.
Vision of the Future – Melbourne featured a glimpse of the new generation of Massey Ferguson products now available in Australia and New Zealand, including the New 74-82 HP MF4700 Global Series and Massey Ferguson's most powerful tractor yet, the new 270-370 HP MF8700 Series.
260 Massey Ferguson dealers from across the region along with over 400 customers were also introduced to the global series concept, unique in the farm machinery industry and a major component of Massey Ferguson's Vision of the Future.
Massey Ferguson's parent company, AGCO has already started the Global Series investment in new facilities and systems that will create a highly flexible network of manufacturing plants, enabling major units and complete tractors to be produced and assembled at multiple locations throughout the world to meet the demands of local markets.
"This is an exciting time for Massey Ferguson and our customers as we embark on a new generation of products that offer features and quality that will make them very attractive to Australian and New Zealand farmers and operators," says Simon Hole, Director of Marketing, AGCO Australia.
Product specialists, parts specialists, dealers and finance representatives were available with the latest information and product knowledge about the exciting Massey Ferguson range and the future of Global Series.
Also featured at the event was the exciting and ongoing development in technology products.
Taking the central stage across the three day event, Fuse technology Product Manager Jeremy Duniam outlined the huge benefits of technologies currently available on Massey Ferguson products and the enormous market potential these products have, as well as their positive impact on the profitability and efficiency of farming worldwide.
"Fuse is a new generational open approach to precision agriculture for Massey Ferguson products. Fuse connects the entire crop cycle from enterprise planning to planting, crop care, and harvesting and grain storage. For Massey Ferguson customers it means access to seamless advance technology and data management that can be integrated into their current operations and service providers with immediate benefits and improvements in efficiencies into the future. It is an exciting time for advanced technologies", Jeremy said.
Dealers and customers also got the opportunity to be amongst the first people in the world to test drive the new MF4700 Global Series, with several MF4708 models available at an off site testing location.
The Vision of the Future event was a huge success and the Massey Ferguson team at AGCO Australia thanks all APAC attendees, many of whom travelling from around Asia Pacific, New Zealand and regional Australia, for their positive participation in the event.
New AGCO Dealer Dedicated to Supporting Innovation in Local Farming
Farmers and contractors in the Wimmera region of Western Victoria, Australia have a new partner supporting their businesses.
Traction AG has been appointed as the AGCO Dealer for the export focussed broad acre district that produces cereal, pulse and oilseed crops as well as some livestock.
New Dealer Principals Kym Grosser, Frank Delahunty and Peter Blair combine a vast range of expertise with backgrounds in engineering, machinery sales, business and farming. The Traction AG team have over 150 years of experience and are passionate about machinery that delivers performance, efficiency and productivity.
Celebrating the opening of the Horsham premises, 160 local farmers and contractors were invited to enjoy a social evening and meet with the Traction AG staff and AGCO representatives.
The event was a great opportunity for attendees to see the exciting AGCO range of products and speak with Traction AG staff and AGCO representatives about innovations and technology that can help them drive efficiencies in their farming operations.
AGCO Area Sales Manager West Victoria, Chris Browne was impressed with the increasing interest in efficient farming practices.
"It was great to see some new and familiar faces at the event and hear a lot of positive views on the increasing importance of technology and improved efficiencies in farming practices in the Wimmera region. There is a lot of enthusiasm for products that tick all the boxes in broad acre farming which is increasingly about economies of scale", said Chris Browne,
Traction AG Business Manager Will de Fégely was keen to catch up with guests and also spoke of the increasing significance local farmers are giving to efficient farming systems
"It was a good opportunity for farmers to meet our staff and get a look at our new premises as well as the range of AGCO products. The region has increasing demand for technology that will drive down costs in broad acre farming. With our Horsham and Nhill branches, we are looking forward to meeting this demand for a complete product range that exceeds the expectations of customers and is backed up by reliable service support and a global parts network", Will said.
Traction AG is set to open their Nhill branch in October during the Nhill Show. The team is looking forward to a bright future supporting the Wimmera farming community with products and service support that meet the demands of modern operators in the region.

For years, Service Account Manager (SAM) has been the go to tool for updating Windows service account passwords. One reason that it's an effective solution for accomplishing this complex task is its rare ability to perform a full dependency analysis on each service.When attempting to update the settings of difficult-to-manage service accounts that exist in Exchange Server, databases, line-of-business applications, and many other places, IT administrators are often frustrated by the limitations of built-in Windows tools. This frustration usually stems from the complex, interlocking dependencies between the services in applications and the inability of basic management tools to unlock those interdependencies.
Managing Dependent ServicesService Account Manager utilizes a proprietary algorithm to map dependency relationships. It then implements a staged start/stop list that manages even the dependency scenario. When an IT administrator requests a service stop on a specific service, SAM performs the following steps:
When the service is re-started, all of the stopped services are then also re-started, but in the reverse order of how they were stopped. This ensures that your Windows service account changes are applied comprehensively, without suffering service failures.

I've got Hunt. He's improved his TDD, still has a solid chin, and can easily connect worse than DC or Cain did. On top of that, I think Silva's last two wins were fairly odd and, while showed heart, showed that he still has bad holes in his striking defense.
On the other hand, if Silva gets Hunt clinched, especially against the cage, I could see him getting the sub. I think a lot of it will come down to how much Hunt has left in his training commitment after these surgeries.

James's parents
| The subject of this article has no official name.
The name currently in use is a fan designator; see below for more information.
James's parents are two wealthy aristocrats. In Holy Matrimony!, they pretended to be dead as a trap to lure James back home and get him to marry Jessebelle, an arrangement he now fiercely opposed. From their single appearance in addition to James's occasional recounts of his childhood, they are shown to be rather insensitively oblivious to James's personal feelings. They frequently forced him into things he didn't care about at all while he was growing up, such as endless lessons in upper-class activities and aristocratic mannerisms. They also appointed him a fiancée that he to this day tries to stay as far away as possible from. For the most part, it seems that they only hold interest in having James do what they think is best for him and appear to far favor Jessebelle, whom they view to be their idea of a "perfect daughter-in-law".
James's parents have been occasionally mentioned since their debut appearance: James, along with Jessie and Meowth, sometimes visits one of his parents' many vacation homes if the trio are in the area.
They reappeared in James's flashback in The Treasure Is All Mine!, where it is revealed that they arranged James to marry Jessebelle after he seemed to show some interest in her while they were children. Unfortunately the two parents fail to realize (or perhaps, choose to ignore) the fact that James is now completely evasive of her, and thus still fully expect him to marry her.

Four Chatham martial artists earn junior black belts
Four martial artists, including two brothers, earned their junior black belts when South Eastern Karate Association held its quarterly promotion exam in March.
Master Instructor Peggy Jolly, a seventh-degree black belt and the owner of the school, presented the belts and certificates. Jolly has been teaching martial arts in Siler City for more than three decades.
Shane and Calvin Conroy, Brandon Downs and Danny Willett got their junior black belts during the promotion exam.
Shane, 11, and Calvin, 8, trained the typical three to four years before receiving their black belts.
Shane wasn't sure how long he would continue when he first walked into the school, but became friends with some of the other students and learned to appreciate how martial arts can improve your life in many different ways.
"I've learned a lot of discipline," said Shane, who appreciates the exercise as well. "It's helped me be able to listen and my manners have improved. Master Jolly is a really good teacher, so just listening to her has taught me a lot."
Calvin also mentioned the value of exercise, but says self-defense is just as important. In fact, one of the essential things he's learned is how to use blocks to keep from being hurt.
Calvin has worked hard on some of the more complex forms — choreographed patterns of techniques that help martial artists develop their skills. The longer, more intricate forms are challenging for younger students.
"I just try to concentrate and think about it," he said.
Downs, 9, also said memorizing forms was one of the more difficult things he had to do.
But what did he enjoy the most? Fun night, one class after each promotion test where students take turns leading class.
"That's what I like most and who doesn't, really?" he said. "It's your choice and I can lead walks like a bear, worm, snake or crab. It's good for you."
Willett, 10, said learning turning and jumping kicks has been the most challenging part of training, though many of the 50-some kicks in this Korean martial art have actually become his strengths.
But that's not all he has learned. Like many of his colleagues, Danny says learning respect and self-discipline is just as important as mastering techniques. "You have to be serious," he says, "and pay attention to be able to hear what the instructor says."
Classes at South Eastern Karate Association in Siler City are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays — with one class primarily for children from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and another class primarily for adults from 7-8:30 p.m. Details are available at southeasternkarate.com.

Product description
On June 25, 1876, 611 men of the United States 7th Cavalry rode towards the banks of the Little Bighorn where three thousand Indians stood waiting for battle. The lives of two great war leaders would soon become forever linked: Crazy Horse, leader of the Oglala Sioux, and General George Armstrong Custer. This masterly dual biography tells the epic story of the lives of these two men: both were fighters of legendary daring, both became honoured leaders in their societies when still astonishingly young, and both died when close to the supreme political heights. Yet they - like the nations they represented - were as different as day and night. Custer had won his spurs in the American Civil War; his watchword was 'To promotion - or death!' and his restless ambition characterized a white nation in search of expansion and progress. Crazy Horse fought for a nomadic way of life fast yielding before the buffalo-hunters and the incursions of the white man. The Great Plains of North America provided the stage - and the prize.

Author information
Stephen E. Ambrose, leading World War II historian, was the author of numerous books on history including the Number 1 bestselling BAND OF BROTHERS, D-DAY (on which SAVING PRIVATE RYAN was based) PEGASUS BRIDGE and WILD BLUE. He is founder of the Eisenhower Center and the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans. He died in 2002.
Review quote
"Movingly told and well written . . . a fine contribution, one that will be read with pleasure and admiration by general reader, student and scholar alike. Ambrose has breathed new life into the familiar facts."--"Library Journal" "An epic and accurate retelling of one of our country's most tragic periods."--"Baltimore Sun"
Editorial reviews
The two great warriors who led their men at Little Bighorn may have championed opposing causes, but their lives had a remarkable amount in common. Both spent idyllic childhoods, developed aggressive willpower and ambition, fell into disgrace through unlikely romances, and regained glory even stronger than before. And both were on the brink of attaining great political power before meeting ignominious deaths. Yet for all the similarities, the personalities of Sioux chief Crazy Horse and US 7th Cavalry leader General George Armstrong Custer could scarcely have been more different. And, as Stephen Ambrose reveals in this classic study first published in 1975, neither man has been represented well by Hollywood and pulp writers. Ambrose tells the story of the two in parallel chapters, from earliest childhood to death. What emerges through contemporary records and from turn-of-the-century accounts of people who knew the men is a tale that reveals much about the mindset on both sides of the pioneering divide. Custer epitomised his society's insatiable appetite for progress and expansion. His favourite phrase was, 'To promotion - or death.' If this seems to bear out the common perception of the man as a reckless gambler, then it does him no justice. Custer was an intelligent and shrewd individual with high moral values. The same can be said of Crazy Horse, who rose against the odds to lead a great people in the fight for a right to their nomadic way of life. Both Crazy Horse and Custer were noble in their respective styles. As in his bestselling books D-Day and Citizen Soldiers, Ambrose evokes a great sense of time and place and pitches his readers into the heat of battle. You can't help but take sides, and though the outcome of the biggest battle of all - Little Bighorn - is well known, Ambrose packs in a wealth of detail that is not generally known. The result is an epic tale of courage as well as a moving portrait of two great men, and it comes with stunning photographs. (Kirkus UK)

Wayne celebrates new, updated 911 center
WAYNE -- When someone calls 911 in Wayne County, they now can do so with confidence knowing the voice on the call's other end is within reach of the latest technology.
It is all housed inside of Wayne County's $3-million emergency communications and dispatch center. The facility is located within walking distance of the Wayne County Courthouse, just off W.Va. 152 in downtown Wayne.
The 6,800-square feet building is a tremendous upgrade from its former home -- a converted, three-bay ambulance garage with 2,000-square-feet. Willis said that facility did not have space enough for new, state-mandated Emergency Medical Dispatching flip charts, much less eight computer screens, servers and other hardware needed to meet today's standards.
Wayne County 911 started operations from the new center in December 2012. Wednesday provided an opportunity to showcase the facility to the public, all while celebrating the agency's 16th anniversary.
Willis called it a dream come true. Since 2005, he and other administrators had toured every dispatch center they heard coming online. His desire was to question officials from those centers, all while taking notes and learning from their experiences.
Wednesday was Willis' turn to show off his facility to others.
"All I can say is wow," he said. "I never dreamed we'd be here, but it's true."
The building consists of three main components. Those are the dispatch room, an emergency operations center and an equipment room. The dispatch room is the facility's nerve center, where two dispatchers per shift field calls and dispatch information to police, fire and ambulance crews within seconds.
Jamie Drake estimates those dispatchers answered 35,000 calls in 2012. She said the new center is a monumental upgrade in technology and capability. It features four consoles, each with eight computer monitors providing dispatchers with the caller's pinpointed location.
"It's unreal," she said. "It means better service. We've got it now to where we can put the 911 address into the system, and it shows us exactly where people are. We don't have to spend the extra time getting more detailed directions."
Willis said the new facility also provides consistency with heating and cooling, as opposed to the extreme heat and chill of the old building. That is an important aspect not only for comfort, but also to ensure the equipment's operations.
Willis vowed Wednesday's celebration is not an ending point. He said the building was built for 20 years of expansion, and he promised technology updates as needed to provide the best of service to Wayne County.

Cape Cod and poor service
In a separate thread, hungrycc complained that when he wants a sandwich at Pain d'Avignon in Hyannis, he must practically beg the sullen staff for service.
I'm so in agreement on this, and I'd like to see what others here think about poor service.
So what's going on that we as consumers, clients and patrons are treated so badly on such a regular basis? When I was a 16-year-old (and plus!) server, no one had to tell me about thanking the customer. Nowadays, you're grateful if you get a relatively grunt-free "there you go" with your change. As someone who is first-generation, with European courtesy drilled into my very being, I find this hard to take -- and I find our visiting workers offer the best and most cheerful service. If I can work all day, and thank each customer I see, I can't understand why the cashiers at the Marstons Mills Stop & Shops can't summon up even basic manners when I lay my hard-earned money in their hands. The first thing my brother teaches the kids working in his ice cream shop is that they must be pleasant and friendly to the customers, and that they must ALWAYS thank them. Seems like this should be a given.
I would love to hear the comments on this -- particularly from business owners.
I really don't think it's a Cape Cod issue. It seems to prevail all across society today. I blame the Boomer generation for essentially being lousy parents. They've strived so hard to give their children everything they want that many kids and young adults today have a sense of entitlement that my generation never had. Common courtesy is passe. Even "please" and Thank You" seem absent from the lexicon of most of today's youth. This is especially evidient on how they treat the elderly. How many times do you witness someone holding the door for an old woman. It's a frequent observance to see people in line get huffy and impatient when an old person fumbles for their change at the grocery store. This seems to be an American affliction and I agree that our foreign workers affer the best and most congenial service.
Then there's the person, of any age, that hates their job, or their very existance. Tonight my wife and I ate at The Barnstable Tavern where we saw the worst of worst service first hand. The bartender who's been there for years has to be a relative or owner to have survived. She openly berated customers, bar orders from waitresses ("people who order drinks like this ought to be shot!) and even a phone order for a lousy pizza. "He better not think he'll get this quick!" This, in a place that was virtually empty when the Dolphin next door was packed. (Coincidence? I think not) Never a question as to how the food was. When I asked for the check she threw it on the bar three feet away from where I was sitting and couldn't be bothered to clear our dishes. She spent the majority of her time with her back to the customers reading some papers. Just horrible. Unfortunately, I waited tables for many years as a teen and early twenties so I can never bring myself to stiff anyone, no matter the service.
re: CapeCodGuy
Hi, CCG. My hackles rose when I read your first paragraph :) I'm 62 so clearly a baby boomer and our daughters have impeccable manners and are nice to everyone (they're in their early 30s). So the mother lion was getting ready to roar. But then I got to thinking about it and I think perhaps SOME (not all) can be a generational thing. I certainly know plenty of people whose children AREN'T like ours. But I also think that areas that get the huge seasonal influx (we're going to be there soon as you know - thanks again) have a bigger problem with the service issue. We live at Lake Tahoe in NoCal and have the summer and winter tourist season and it gets a little crazy then. The owners of stores and restaurants can't afford to have year-round help at the same level as they need at those times. So I DO believe that staff may be under experienced and the employers may get a little desparate to have a warm body rather than a trained professional. Doesn't make it right but we're probably not going to change it.
As an aside, I don't read much on this board to recommend The Barnstable Tavern and you've added more to that.
re: c oliver
C oliver....I didn't mean to imply that ALL boomers have raised lousy kids, but lack of common courtesies does seem more prevalent to Gen X and Gen Y, It was not my intention to paint with such a broad and negative brush. Your point of it also being related to the seasonal tourist nature of things here is certainly true as well.
And your quite welcome for the previous recs. Good luck with your upcoming vacation.
re: CapeCodGuy
Oh, I know you were talking about OUR angels :) I truly avoid talking about them to some people as they're pretty exceptional. One bartended and waited tables in college and that girl made a bundle in tips. I like to think that it was because she knows how to treat people --- in addition to being drop-dead gorgeous :)
Ah, G, this is quite an intense subject. The intensity builds in the comment from CCG. Good service, think friendly, cleanly, and efficient, is a basic requirement in the food service business, indeed any service business. But, I do think the Cape is different. Jobs are not plentiful. The pay is often unsatisfactory. The sudden increase in the high season followed by cutbacks is distressing for many workers. Consequently, many folks are stuck in jobs they are not suited for, not properly trained for, and not likely to hold for long. We, the customer, must suffer the awful results of these employment difficulties. In the case of a large business like a grocery store, in a densely populated area around a big city, one is apt to go to the same register person over decades. That's not going to happen on the Cape. Actually, here these larger business types do a good job hiring people who might otherwise never get a chance to enter the workplace. So, it cuts both ways.
Most restaurants are small business by definition and there is no excuse for bad service. The owners have a duty to see that a high standard is set by all who are employed. Accordingly, a story like the one CCG tells is maddening. It simply should not happen. We, the customer, are left with only one choice, leave and never return. Recently, this is what happened to us at the Inaho where the owners have a reputation for being unfriendly. We always shook it off as being the "stripes on a Zebra" problem. However, sooner or later, no matter how good the food, enough is enough.
re: Afar
CCG makes an important point that should not be ignored - societal changes. Yes, the legacy of our generation will suffer as a result of the great success accumulating wealth while basic values fell apart. Surely, it plays a roll in the problem of finding high quality service employees in Cape restaurants. Sadly, it's the bad ones that stick with us. We have fond memories of efficient and wonderful wait people we have come to know well at a variety of restaurants. Their smile, indeed their friendship, is a great value. When we move on from such a restaurant these fine people are greatly missed.
re: Afar
It's interesting to contrast the horrible experiences I've had at The Barnstable Tavern with that of yesterdays lunch at Cooke's in Hyannis. Now both are owner occupied food service establishments. At the Tavern, I've never seen the owner pop his head out of the kitchen in dozens of visits. As mentioned the service was attrocious and the tarrif for two apps and three glasses of wine was $50 or so. Contrast that to Cooke's, where the owners are front and center, always cheerful with a greeting, wiping down tables and the counter, and "please and thank you for coming" is standard procedure. All of this for a fine lunch well under $10. It takes no more effort for the latter vs. the former, but it is the culture as exhibited consistantly by the ownership that shines through. It's quite obvious that the culture at the Tavern is one of negativity and it shows. The same contrast can be found at Stop and Shop vs. Roche Brothers, The Barnstable Village Store vs. Petersen's or Fancy's Markets. So in my mind, it's across all spectrums, be it mom and pop stores or large corporate outfits.
I think the greatest pressure on a business owner on Cape Cod is getting help. Too often that translates into poor service because the attitude is just having a body is enough. Also from my experience in the restaurant business I found that the owner or manager is not the person training a new employee. Another employee is given the task and generally passes on their bad habits.

Pile of Play
My Pile of Play (a.k.a. Pile of Shame) to be tackled. This list serves as a reminder for games I have acquired but not gotten around to playing or finishing. You can find games that made it off this list between 2010-2014 here: Former Pile of Play Games
1. A game is added to the pile if it is not successfully played, rejected or completed (see below) within the first month of ownership.
2. The game stays on the pile until one of the following criteria is met, in order of preference:
- Completed: The story/career mode is completed (primary goal)
- Played: 40% of the achievements/trophies/rewards have been attained (secondary goal)
- Rejected: Played at least 4 hours of the game, or milked 20% of the achievements/trophies/rewards, but I am really not enjoying the game (failsafe)
Remember: having a pile of play (or shame) is a good thing. It gives you options when you've finished your latest game; you can switch genres, platforms, and play styles to suit your mood and enhance your gaming enjoyment. It's not a shame to have a pile of play.

This major fashion exhibition celebrates the Biba lifestyle and also looks beyond Biba at Barbara Hulanicki's other successful careers in design, fashion illustration and interior design.
With its cutting edge yet affordable fashion, Barbara Hulanicki's iconic Biba store and label trasformed the High Street shopping experience in the 1960s and 70s. Art Deco, Victorian and Hollywood glamour all combined in striking, romantic and sensual designs, bought by rock stars, models and young working women alike.
After walking away from Biba in the mid-seventies, Barbara Hulanicki established herself as an award winning and high profile interior designer in the US. In the past few years in the UK Barbara's career has come full circle with hugely successful fashion design projects for TopShop and George.
With loans from major collectors and private individuals the exhibition will tell this amazing story through fashion, film, illustrations, music, photography, ephemera and the memories and reminiscences of those who shared the experience.
Brighton Museum & Art Gallery is only 10 minutes walk from Sea Spray Hotel.

Each year, we perform more than 700 cardiovascular and thoracic surgeries. Our surgeons offer the best possible outcomes for the most challenging surgical cases and provide the complete spectrum of cardiovascular surgical care, including minimally invasive options and advanced hybrid surgeries.
Together with our interventional cardiologists, our cardiovascular surgeons offer dually-performed procedures, such as robotic CABG followed by stenting, in our hybrid operating room and participate in percutaneous heart valve therapy cases.
Experience Counts
Studies show that centers performing high volumes of cardiovascular procedures have the best patient outcomes and lowest mortality rates. PinnacleHealth is an outstanding example of this fact. Since performing the first heart bypass surgery in the region in 1956, PinnacleHealth has been a pioneer in cardiovascular surgery. We continue to make advancements in the field each day.
At the national level, PinnacleHealth has also received the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) highest rating for cardiovascular surgery. This accolade is the coveted 3-Star highest quality designation for heart bypass surgery outcomes from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
Mubashir Mumtaz, MD, our chief of cardiothoracic surgery, is in the top 5 percent in the state of all surgeons' volumes. He is also the only surgeon in Pennsylvania to achieve a combined inpatient and 30-day mortality rated as "better than expected" for total valve surgery.

text: Gary ZaetzJapan's Prime Minister Kan has set an example for other world leaders by pledging recovery of his country's missing in action. As the nephew of an American World War II MIA, I commend him for journeying to Iwo Jima(Iwoto) and showing the world how high a priority his Government gives to recovering the remains of its soldiers, and bringing solace to their families. The Geneva Conventions and customary international humanitarian law recognize that families have a right to demand that governments return to them the remains of family members killed as a result of war. Let us remember that today, 65 years after the end of World War II, many other countries, including Japan, Germany, Russia, India, Italy, Korea, Taiwan, Britain, and the United States, still have thousands of missing soldiers unaccounted for from that war. Thousands more are still missing from World War I. Much more pressure must be brought to bear on the governments of the countries where these soldiers' remains are believed to be located, to repatriate these remains to their home countries and their families as soon as possible.

Phoenix Mercury
Stephen Colbert pays tribute to his mother
Stephen Colbert opened Wednesday night's "Colbert Report" with an emotional tribute to his 92-year-old mother, Lorna Colbert, who died last week.
Colbert, who had returned after a weeklong hiatus, described his mother as a cheerful woman who loved her children and faith despite tasting many tragedies such as the loss of her brother, husband and three sons.
"She made a very loving home for us," he said. "No fight between siblings could end without hugs and kisses, though hugs never needed a reason in her house."
The host shared a short biography of his mother, including some of his favorite moments with her.
"I know it may sound greedy to want more days with someone who had lived so long," Colbert said. "But the fact that my mother was 92 does not diminish, it only magnifies, the enormity of the room whose door has now quietly shut."
Watch the full tribute below.

Parents and the WU ChallengeEarlier this spring, a generous alumna from the class of 1966 graciously offered up to $50,000 to match gifts from parents and alumni. This incredible match has been dubbed the WU Challenge.
Letters announcing the WU Challenge were sent to parents and alumni in April, and so far, Willamette has received more than $10,000 in gifts in response. You can follow the progress of the challenge or make a gift online now.
Gifts for the Parents Fund will be used to support educational resources accessible to all students. These include, among other things, library materials, hardware and software for computer labs, and support for the Learning Center on campus.
The WU Challenge comes at an important time of the year because the fiscal year at Willamette ends May 31. The WU Challenge helps inspire donors to renew their support or make their first gift in hopes of reaching our annual fund goals for the year.
Remember: Even if you've made a gift this year, any new gifts made by May 31 will be matched.
Thank you for your support!
Andrew McNall, Ph.D.
Director of Parent Relations

How to make a stencil on a T shirt
The first thing you need to buy when you want to make a stencil for a T-Shirt is some acetate. Acetate is widely available on the black market in Prague:), as well as most Art stores. Here I am buying some acetate from a local supplier (who also happens to be my friend, Jana) Other supplies you will need include a foam roller, a little tub for the paint, a big sturdy box on which to cut your stencil, and a razor blade (exacto knives work really well)
posted by Jeremiah Palecek @
Using a google image search, I found this picture of Christopher Walken which I thought would look good as a stencil. Plus my ex-girlfriend/Bestfriend Andrea is a big supporter of the Christopher Walken Presidential campaign for 2008. I also owe her a present, because she made me some rad pillows, as well as sent me a bunch of vitamins for my birthday last year.

Using photoshop I have taken the contrast and brightness way up in order to make a black and white image that lends itself to making a stencil. In Photoshop, go to "Image" then "Adjust" then "Hue/Saturation", take the saturation all the way down in order to make the color picture a black and white image. Then go to "Image" then "Adjust" then "Brightness/Contrast". Play with the Brightness and Contrast until the image begins to look the way you want it to.
posted by Jeremiah Palecek @
Tape the acetate on top of the printed image. Make sure both the paper with the printed image is securely taped down, as well as the acetate on top of it. Acetate, or the paper moving will cause your "trace cutting" to move, and make you lose your place.
posted by Jeremiah Palecek @
Using a razor blade, I trace the original image, and begin cutting out the stencil. Make sure you don't cut out an entire area that needs to stay. Your stencil needs to be strong, so, when possible, don't cut some areas that are black in order to reinforce it.
posted by Jeremiah Palecek @
using a foam roller, I apply the paint over the stencil, making sure not to have too much paint on the roller. Having too much paint on the roller will cause the paint to get under the stencil, and cause splotches. With practice you will find the pressure needed, as well as how much paint to load up the roller with.

The finished product. One could generally see the stencil better if one used darker colors, however I decided to use a lighter color in order to be a little more subtle, and create a better match with the existing pattern of the shirt. Plus guys who wear pink are generally pretty cool.

General Information for Prospective SOCS Students
McGill University is the top research university in Canada (tied with U. of Toronto, based Macleans's 2005 rankings) and is the only Canadian university to rank among the top 25 universities in the world (based on Times 2005 rankings). The School of Computer Science currently stands second in Canada for its research funding. Our professors have received most of the top awards in Computer Science, while our students go on to become top-notch research and industry leaders. A graduate degree from SOCS is recognized in both the academic and industrial worlds as a proof of excellence.
Our department is currently strong of 34 faculty members, 60 Ph.D. students, and 100 Masters students. All of our Ph.D. students and most of our Masters students are funded through teaching assistantships or research assistantships. Approximately half our graduate students are Canadian and the other half are from abroad.
The Academic Year
The academic year at McGill, as at most Canadian universities, has two terms (or semesters). These are the Fall term - early September to early December - and the Winter term - early January to mid-April.There is also a Summer term, although no graduate courses are offered during this session. It is used by students as a time for research or completing projects or theses.
Important Information for Foreign Students
All students who are not citizens or permanent residents of Canada are required to obtain the necessary Visa and/or Student Authorization documents prior to entering the country. Do NOT leave home without proper documentation! You CANNOT change your status from Visitor to Student when in Canada.
Student Authorization: Issued by Canada Immigration through a Canadian Embassy or Consulate. There is a processing fee of $125 on all applications for Student Authorizations. LINK
Certificate of Acceptance (CAQ): Issued by Quebec Immigration for a fee of $100. If there is no Quebec Immigration office in the country in which you are applying, you must fill out the application for a CAQ and send it to the Quebec Immigration Office in Montreal along with the $100 processing fee. Once CAQ is approved, Quebec Immigration will telex the Canadian Embassy you are dealing with. If there is a Quebec Immigration office in the country in which you are applying, you apply for the CAQ through them.
Health Insurance (Compulsory): Quebec requires all international students to participate in a recognized Health Insurance Plan. Cost is approximately $500 per year for a single person. Most students use one of the insurance plans offered by McGill.
Once accepted, all international students receive detailed instructions on immigration procedures. These instructions should be read very carefully to avoid unnecessary delays. Applicants are advised to begin procedures necessary to ensure admission to Canada and complete required medical papers for Canadian Immigration authorities as soon as possible after submitting an application for admission. For more information, see the McGill International Student Services.
Student Accommodation
Off-campus housing is the most popular among McGill graduate students, as it is usually affordable, convenient, and easy to find. The Off-Campus Housing Service keeps a computerized list of available housing within walking distance of McGill, or easily accessible by metro and bus lines. Most listings are checked to ensure minimum standards of cleanliness and state of repair. Rental rates vary according to accommodation desired, but are considered very reasonable in comparison with most North American cities.
The University maintains a limited number of apartment units in several nearby locations. Housing request forms can be obtained from the Graduate Housing office.
