LOL wtf was that dance??
Does he know his team is 4-11? What a chode.....
Thank you for using the word "chode". I didn't think anyone did anymore except for my brother, and he's, well, a total chode.
Chode move.
after all the previous 31 losing seasons under Ford ownership. It doesn't fundamentally matter whether Schwartz or Mayhew are fired; if they are, the Fords will hire two more incompetent underachievers in their place. If the Fords had been in charge of the U.S. military in 1862, they'd have kept McClellan in place and forced Grant out of the service.
Not with Matt at QB. There's no way I would clean house unless you could get a top of the line coach (which the Lions cant). So stay the course and hope for DB's in April and a healthy team next fall.
I refuse to follow the lions until junior sells the team. The only constant for the last 50 years had been the Fords incompetent ownership. Go Pats.
I'm not used to not watching the Lions on Turkey day. You do realize that the end of the Ford era for the Lions means the end of the Lions always hosting a game on Thansgiving? The elder Ford's pledge to have the Big 3 pull advertising during NFL games is all that's keeping this tradition for us. For that reason alone, it's almost worth keeping the Ford's around.
Than win all their games not on Thanksgiving?
I'm numb to the pain of them losing. Like Brooks from Shawshank Redemption, I've been in Lions "prison" for so long, I don't think I could handle it any other way.
Does that mean if the Lions were to sell and/or get good you'd become a Cardinals fan or something?
I actually lived in Arizona for a few years and did become a part time Cardinals fan. I was so confused during their Super Bowl run. Pro football success as a fan just isn't for me.
You've spent time in Cleveland too.
Who gives a shit about the thanksgiving game.
I can also say that I appreciate autumn and winter significantly more since I started my Lions boycott.
Speaking of Schwartz - shouldn't he have gone for 2 there?
Roughly 6:40 left and the TD pulls us to within 3 points...he kicks the PAT to be down 2 points....
What is the benefit of that?
Seems to me that the PAT doesn't make much of a difference between getting no points and the 2 point conversion if good would allow your D to give up a TD and still be down a score (8 points).
The benefit of that is winning the game with a stop and a field goal instead of tying and risking OT. I'm not sure I understand your argument. I don't know anyone who would go for two there.
get a stop and win with a fg? I have a bigger issue with not going for an onside kick when your kicking from the 50.
He's a hothead and a mediocre coach. Especially if the Lions are able to get Bill O'Brien, Bill Cowher, Nick Saban, Andy Reid, Chip Kelly, or anyone in the ballpark of those names, they need to let Schwartz go, and also learn how to make character as much or more of a priority as talent. The Lions are really making it hard to root for them at this point.
No successful college coach (Chip Kelly, Nick Saban, Bill O'Brien) would leave a secure job to coach the Lions. They may be interested in an NFL job, but not with the Lions.
Also, when has it ever NOT been hard to root for the Lions? You act like this is unexpected or an aberration. Last year's playoff appearance was an aberration. The default expectation is that the Lions will be a train wreck. Frankly, I'm surprised when the Lions beat anyone.
It has always been hard to root for the Lions, but this year seems to be the worst, with all of the off-field transgressions and Titus Young proving that he is a massive idiot. But it doesn't mean that we shouldn't WANT it to be different. I'd like to think that someday it might be possible to root for them whole-heartedly. As long as the Fords own the Lions, probably unlikely in reality, I guess.
If only the NFL could fire an owner...
Both the GM and Coach should be shown to door for an 8 game losing streak. The lions do have talent at QB and WR. Also, the DL on paper is as talented as any in the NFL. LB are average. DB are poor...but still this team should have finished with 7 or 8 wins. This is a big drop off from their lucky season last year but there is no hope for this bunch going forward.
Here is my reasoning why Schwartz should not be fired. Going into the 2012 draft the Lions had some huge needs. In my opinion they needed a shut down corner, another safety, a run blocking guard, and a pass rushing DE. Instead they drafted an offensive tackle with their 1st pick and a injured wide receiver with their 2nd pick. This was puzzling since Backus and Burlson were not going anywhere. The only thing I could think of is that Mayhew was conceding 2012 and playing for 2013. Both Burlson and Backus will be gone and then the picks make sense.
Now we can argue whether playing that far ahead is a good idea. If the consensous is that is a terrible idea then we can talk about Mayhew being fired. The bigest problem with the Lions in my opinion is horrible play in the secondary. 3 10+ 2nd half leads were lost and multiple other games lost because we did not have a corner who could cover a dead opposum. That was not Schwartz's fault.
Maybe Schwartz is a terrible coach after all for other reasons. But he can only work with the players given to him by the GM. And yes, the Fords have no clue how to be competent owners of a NFL franchise.
Schwartz will be around at least another year since Ford gave him a contract extension through 2015. It seems like the GM has their salary cap all screwed up, so I don't think they will be able to sign any FA DB and FS. Another problem is that any one who is good probably would not want to play for a losing team. So, it will take years to draft a full defensive back field, a RB and new OL. It is possible this team will reach .500 next season but looking at some of the bone headed coaching decision, Schwartz will be lucky to win 6 or 7 next season.
Clearly every coach has been influenced by the GM. They must not feel in control. I have no other reason to assume why our lack of discipline has existed for years. I get players screw up but wow are these guys a mess. Fire every single decision maker in the building. When we took broyles over a solid DB that sealed it for me. Done with this franchise.
They can fire all of the coaches and GM's they want, but until they fire the owners, nothing good is ever going to happen for the Lions. Though he didn't own it until 1964, WCF has been running the team since 1958. He took a team had won three NFL Championships in the 1950's and turned it into the worst franchise of the last fifty years.
Even Tampa Bay had seven good years and won a Super Bowl. The only thing the Lions have shown themselves to be able to do consistently and effectively is break the hearts of everyone who has ever been a Lions fan.
Whaaa? Fire Gym Shorts?
there's ya sports!"
Man I miss Kevin Matthews
I'd avoid the Lions like the plague. Since Ford assumed total ownership in '64, not a single solitary full-time head coach that Ford has hired has ever gone on to be a HC for any other NFL team. Considering the number of head coaches in the NFL since 1964 who have been with more than one team, that's a remarkable achievement (Dick Jauron coached the Bills after he left the Lions, but he was an only an interim Lions HC for five games in 2005 after Mariucci was booted).
Put it this way: Detroit is a coaching graveyard. That's where your head coaching career goes to die. When you're done coaching the Lions, your reputation is so damaged that nobody is going to think of you as anything other than an assistant.
Sadly, I think only one person here mentioned our biggest issue. I haven't cared about the NFL since Barry retired but I still generally keep up and want the Lions to do well, I just became indifferent a long time ago towards the NFL in general. Anyway, the biggest issue is how the NFL added a rookie cap but didn't offer any temporary clauses for teams top heavy with high picks for the few years before it took effect. Sure, that is the Lions fault through their play but we have (IIRC) over 40% of our cap locked into 5 players. That is insane! How can this team not completely go through another "rebuild" by dumping all but CJ and still remain competitive on the free agent market? How can they not? Sadly, we have more holes than money to get decent players to plug them for the next 4 years unless we dump Suh, Avril and other guys that should be Lions. Sadly, I think Suh plays maybe one more year here and he is traded or more likely let go. Avril doesn't deserve what he wants so he has to go. Delmas only plays about 6 games a year anyway so he'll have to go. KVB should have been gone this year. Sure, the Fords suck and our staff is average at best. Yet, only a top-tier coach could keep this team competitive given our financial issues for the next half decade. Even then, after the 5 years it's a team full of youth. The Lions will be a 4-6 win team for the next 5 years regardless of coach.
OMe on now, you know that's what you're secretly hoping for. Bama destroys ND, Saban goes to Detroit, Bama falls apart, MIchigan rises to the top of the college football world.
Bama destroys ND, Saban goes to Jacksonville to revive the Jags, Chip Kelly leaves Oregon and comes to Detroit to bring the no-huddle spread to Detroit and Stafford throws for 6,000 yards and Calvin gets o 3,000 receiving yards and the Lions win the Super Bowl because no one can keep up.
Can Millen be fired twice? Mayhew has done an OK job, but Millen left this roster completely barren of depth. This is going to take like 10 years to build something with any sort of depth. Now, with all the offense they have drafted, they still need WRs and RBs.

Paulson: America wants answers that work
It's time to put America back to work! Chances are that President Obama's "new" plan will sound much like his last one. Americans want answers that work; not more debt.
Demand that Congress replace baseline budgeting with zero-based budgeting. Who wouldn't want a budget that is set to go up 8 percent every year? It's time to end the gravy train funded by your taxes.
Even better, adopt the "One Cent Solution" (htttp://www.onecentsolution.org) that decreases the budget 1 percent for the next six years. Any increase in one area must be offset with decreases in another to meet the 1 percent target. It's time to make cuts real, instead of telling us that a decrease in the growth of spending is a cut.
Initiate a flat income tax rate. Instead of spreading the wealth, spread the tax burden evenly to all voting citizens. Now, 50 percent of voters get to spend their neighbor's money on their government handouts. Let's all pay the same "fair" share and cut all deductions. People will complain — but they will start screaming to stop unnecessary spending.
Eliminate unnecessary and costly regulations. Rescind the Affordable Care Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, which are creating uncertainty and higher costs for small banks and businesses. In short, free up our free-enterprise economy — the engine of our economy and source of most job growth.
Cut corporate taxes in half or more. At 35 percent, America has the highest corporate taxes in the world. Reward economic growth instead of punishing it. Companies sit on cash when the risk of return is too high. Let them earn a greater return by turning our economy around and creating jobs.
Send a balanced-budget amendment to the states. Most states have to balance their budgets; let's ensure the federal government does. The House has given them the law they need; act on it, let the states respond.
Cut the 15 percent capital gains tax rate in half or more. Make it profitable to take cash off the sidelines and invest it in inventing the future. Eliminating the capital gains tax would encourage the investment capital into countless new business startups, and that means new jobs.
Open up our own reserves to development by domestic energy companies. Environmental excesses are costing us jobs and economic opportunities we desperately need. Stop forcing us to buy energy from others when America is blessed with vast oil, gas, coal, uranium, rare earth and other natural resource riches. The jobs created and the cost savings we could generate could help turn our economy around.
Hold the line on unemployment benefits and eliminate the minimum-wage regulations. Ninety-nine weeks of unemployment support is enough. People want work and a chance to prove their value. Let companies hire people at any wage so that they can prove their value and have better opportunities when they do.
Eliminate exemptions, loopholes and deductions. Let those who are "too big to fail" fail. End corporate welfare where government picks the winners and losers. Stop giving our tax money to allow failing companies to give exorbitant bonuses to executives who don't deserve it!
Repeal the Davis-Bacon Act: Instead of forcing the government to pay inflated union wages, allow governments to pay prevailing private-sector wages. The tax money set aside for government projects would go a lot further and more workers could be hired.
Free Americans to be the answer. Finally, we need to stop looking to Washington to "do more" and "fix" the problem. Put the focus on the real answer to our economic malaise — let individual entrepreneurs, investors and workers apply their skills to invent the future.
The underlying strength of the American workforce and the unmatched technological depth of our economy will be the basis for our resurgence when, and only when, Washington once again permits our economy to perform at its full strength by rewarding achievement instead of dependence.

VIDEO: Koen Olthuis Shares the Benefits of Floating Cities at TEDxWarwick
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On March 26, 2012 @ 2:47 pm In Architecture,Floating Houses,Green Building | No Comments
Koen Olthuis [2], founder of Waterstudio.nl [3] and floating architecture expert, recently gave a talk at TEDxWarwick on the benefits of floating cities. For years, we've been following Olthuis' work [4] – including his floating homes and Waterstudio.nl's proposals for amazing water-based cities. Now his ideas for floating cities are getting a lot more attention as they offer ways to reduce the risks of flooding and climate change while opening up more space in dense urban environments. Olthuis' TEDx talk in Warwick is a great overview of his philosophy and how floating architecture can help change the world.

Active Questions
|Sex & Intimacy / 6:11 PM - Saturday May 29, 2010
Why do some girls falsely accuse guys of rape or other sexual misconduct?
- Asked by Male, 26-28
Because they are fucken retarded. I think this completely contradicts the whole women's movement on equal rights and power. We want equal of everything then use this as an excuse to doom men??
- Response by silenceiskey77, A Thinker, Female, 26-28
Community Rating: Community Star
Attention seekers?
- Response by elizabethmom05, A Cool Mom, Female, 36-45, Tampa, Retail
It will take some guts for a girl or woman to admit that she got raped or abused, normally raped victims will not come out straight away or hide the incident permanently so for you to say some girls accused someone, there must be some shades of truth on that...the truth will come out sooner or later anyway
- Response by asianlovely13, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, London, Managerial
False accusations of rape are so common it would be surprising if even 8% of rape reports have any factual basis at all.
- Response by greenwind, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 56-65, Construction
Ask Big Ben Roethlisberger, even fooling around with a girl who consents can land you in a whole lot of hot water. Ben would have not gone through it if he hadn't just walked out of the room "without saying anything" to the girl. If a girl feels humiliated or disrespected during whatever took place, she may try to get even. And if you have money...its a no brainer!
- Response by A Sweet Sarah, Female, 36-45, Who Cares?
THESE women should be branded
- Response by duggers, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older
Have you ever noticed that there is almost always another man involved in those scenarios...like a father who would create a major problem over loss of virginity or a boyfriend that some girl didn't want to know she'd been fooling around on....something like that....the lie always seems to protect against some other potentially harsh reality. Doesn't make it right...in fact I find it deplorable.
- Response by joybird, A Creative, Female, Who Cares?, Therapist
Women do this for a variety of reasons: As a cruel trick, because they felt that they had been "forced" to have sex, and as power grab.

Editor's note: This entry's guest author is Gabriel Aguirrezabal, a Spanish podiatrist. He is in private practice in Bilbao in Basque Country, Spain.
I am Gabriel Aguirrezabal, a Spanish podiatrist. I am very thankful to Dr. DeHeer and his colleagues for welcoming me into Indianapolis for two weeks in March.
During my journey, I wanted to develop new podiatric skills and discover how doctors practice podiatric medicine in the United States. I was able to rotate through a variety of podiatric settings such as surgery, clinical practice and even wound care.
I would like to describe some podiatric aspects that I found to be very interesting in the U.S.
Spain does not offer residency programs like the one I visited in the U.S. To become a podiatrist in Spain, you must study at a four-year university. Upon graduation, you are qualified to diagnose, practice surgery and prescribe orthotics and drugs. If you continue studying, you can choose different postgraduate degrees (usually a one-year duration) either in surgery or orthoses.
I completed my postgraduate study in both orthoses and surgery in 2009 and 2008 respectively. I found these were theory-based programs rather than practice-based. Can you imagine a postgraduate program in podiatric medicine where you do not have the chance to apply your concepts on patients? We need programs in Spain that allow us hands-on experience with patients under the supervision of other podiatrists.
The biggest problem in Spain is that our National Health System (NHS) does not view podiatrists as health physicians. Patients have to pay to visit the podiatrist. Private insurance will only cover nail trimming and shaving calluses. Insurance does not cover fungal culture, orthoses, blood work, X- rays, warts or surgery. Orthopedic physicians working under the NHS take care of such issues. Private offices and insurance companies send these patients to hospitals with the necessary machinery and supplies. This situation makes laypeople get the wrong impression of the podiatric qualification. It is our goal to demonstrate and teach people in Spain about the podiatric profession.
In Spain, the majority of podiatrists have their own private office. Usually, they work for themselves and employ other podiatrists to work for them. The type of work for a common podiatrist includes conservative treatment such as trimming nails, shaving calluses and orthotics. In rare cases, podiatrists also perform surgery. We study surgery programs but we are not confident enough to make surgery a part of our daily practice. The most common types of surgery are forefoot and rearfoot surgery. Podiatrists perform surgery either in a rented surgical room or in a surgery room that they have built in their own office.
Although the government is responsible for establishing wound care units in all Spanish cities, Spain only has a few units in large national hospitals. The results that professionals obtain from these units are often unpredictable because of biomechanics and low healing rates. Wound care units are also not part of the NHS.
This was my first time in Indianapolis, although traveling to the U.S. is always marvelous. I have learned important concepts that I had previously ignored. I have seen things I could not even imagine.
Most importantly, during my time in the U.S., I was regarded as health professional and as a person. Throughout my trip, I was most impressed by the people I encountered. I thank Dr. DeHeer for opening his office, program and family to me. (Also, thank you to Erika Jagger). I am also very thankful to the rest of podiatrists I met, including Anthony Jagger, DPM, Ronald Banta, DPM, Michael Miller, DPM, FACFAS, Michael Baker, DPM, Brian Elliott, DPM, Adam Perler, DPM, FACFAS and Dr. Nowsu. I appreciate them leading me through this incredible experience and having the patience to answer to my questions.
What are my personal goals after this experience?
1. I want to help educate people about the role podiatrists play in the Spanish society.
2. I'd like to apply my surgical concepts when treating my patients. I hope to try to heal the problems and not just give a palliative or aesthetic service.
3. I'd like to achieve a multidisciplinary approach in my treatments, keeping in mind that it is about the patients.
No one is perfect but by working together, we can all learn from our mistakes and give excellent treatment.
Thank you all for being so pleasant with me. I hope to do the same when you come to visit me here in Spain.

Beak (stylized as BEAK>) is a UK based band, consisting of Geoff Barrow (of Portishead) with Billy Fuller (Fuzz Against Junk) and Matt Williams (Team Brick).
Beak released their self-titled debut album on 17 November 2009. The music was recorded live in one room with no overdubs or repair, only using edits to create arrangements. All tracks were written over a twelve-day session in Bristol, England.
Beak produced the debut album Anika by Anika and co-wrote two of the album's songs in 2010.
In 2010, the band toured in the US and the UK. They were chosen by Portishead to perform at the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festival, that they curated in July 2011 at London's Alexandra Palace, as well as the US version of ATP's I'll Be Your Mirror in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

Thanks for the info. I'm out of town anyway, but it sounds like whoever has tickets this weekend will be getting their money's worth.
Hansen tomorrow, Lester Sunday. I know tickets are all gone on the PawSox site.
While I'm in the ml thread, I might as well ask: is it the opinion of any of our local experts that we'll be seeing Hansen in Boston as a starter sometime before September of this year? (and is there a more appropriate thread for me to ask questions like this?)

It is my opinion that you will not see Hansen in Boston as a starter this year.
It is my opinion that you will see Lester in Boston as a starter at least once in June and probably permanently beginning in September.

One off questions are OK here. If they generate a viable discussion, I'll split it out (into the ml Forum).

Lester's next few starts are scheduled to be on 5/28, 6/3, 6/8, and 6/13 if they push everyone back a game because of the 5/31 off day and don't have a rain out. They should be able to line him up for the doubleheader on 6/10.

That's weird. It doesn't seem that Murphy has done anything in particular worthy of being promoted. But given his age, there really isn't any downside here. It will be interesting to see what he can do at this level for the first time.
David Murphy and Barry Hertzler have been promoted to AAA.
Chris Durbin and Randy Beam have been activated from the Portland DL.

Game Story
Pawtucket manager Ron Johnson and pitching coach Mike Griffin weren't worried about Abe Alvarez's mindset when he took the mound for his first start in 19 days last night.
They were worried about rust.
Unfortunately for Alvarez, the rust won out last night, as he struggled through four innings against Louisville, allowing the Bats to earn a series split with the PawSox by virtue of their 9-3 win.
The loss was Alvarez's first of the season -- he began the year 5-0, the first Pawtucket pitcher to do so since Sun-Woo Kim in 2000.
"I went out there and tried to do my best," Alvarez said after his first start since May 7. "I didn't have it and I couldn't find it. It wound up being worse than I thought it would. I didn't enjoy it."
Pawsox Notebook
At 11:30 yesterday morning, Barry Hertzler walked to the front door of his family's East Providence house and greeted his parents.
He was home.
Hertzler, a right-handed reliever who grew up dropping bottles over the McCoy Stadium railings to get autographs just like the kids who were in the stands last night, yesterday was promoted from Double-A Portland to the PawSox.
He will get the opportunity to play close to home for the first time since his senior year of high school seven years ago, when he was an All-State pick with the Townies.
"It's a thrill," Hertzler said of the opportunity to play with Pawtucket. "Knocking on my parents' door this morning, letting them know I'm back. It's nice to be back home and spend time with family and friends I haven't seen in a while."
Seadogs Stories:
Game Story
If you wanted a metaphor to describe the challenge of hitting against soft-throwing New Britain lefty Errol Simonitsch on Friday night, the moist air above Hadlock Field was thick with it.
"That fog," said New Britain Manager Riccardo Ingram, "was kind of scary. There were quite a few balls that, coming off the bat, I had no idea where they were going."
They didn't go far for the Sea Dogs, who scratched out only three singles against Simonitsch in a 4-0 Eastern League loss before a paid crowd of 6,502 at Hadlock Field. The loss ended a five-game win streak for the Sea Dogs, who wasted a fine pitching performance from David Pauley (2-3).
Drive Stories:
Game Stry
Thanks to center fielder Yahmed Yema, the Drive claimed a 3-2 come-from-behind victory in front 6,481, the largest crowd in the history of West End Field.
With one out and the bases loaded in the ninth, Yema lined a shot off the centerfield wall to drive in the winning run and break a 2-2 tie to give Greenville the walk off victory.
Yema finished with four hits in five at-bats, including a double and a triple. He had two runs batted in. He became the first Drive player to collect four hits in a game.
"We've been struggling a little bit for a couple of games," said Yema. "We didn't do too well on the road trip. But we decided we had to come today, play as hard as we could and come up with a win."
The win, which allowed Greenville a split of its four games with the Grasshoppers, improved its record to 24-24. Greensboro fell to 26-21.
"We hung in there and the guys fought," said Boston Red Sox outfield and base-running coordinator Lou Frazier, who was standing in for Drive manager Luis Alicea, who was in his hometown of Wellington, Fla. for a pre-arranged engagement. "We came back and won."
Posted 27 May 2006 - 10:34 AM
Good to see Murphy get off to a fast start. I'm not totally sure he deserves the promotion, but he's shown that he has the talent, he's just inconsistent in showing it. After seeing Hanley flounder last year only to flourish this year, I'm down with the move though. It wipes his stats clean and gives him a fresh start- and he can now see the big leagues from where he is. If he can hit, I think there's room for him as early as the end of this season.

This paper discusses theoretical background for the use of Z as a language for partial specification, in particular techniques for checking consistency between viewpoint specifications. The main technique used is unification, i.e. finding a (candidate) least common refinement. The corresponding notion of consistency between specifications turns out to be different from the known notions of consistency for single Z specifications. A key role is played by correspondence relations between the data types used in the various viewpoints. Note: extended version available as /pubs/1999/607/.

This is non-cycling related but I thought better placed to post here than the Halfway Cafe as it's really Vic specific.
The Avalon airshow is on this weekend and I want to know if anyone knows the best vantage points out West to go have a look without actually going in to Avalon? I'll be taking my 4yo son along and not sure if we will actually go in. Not knowing the area, are there good places where you could park on the side of the road and watch?

Hi all,So, our illustrious publisher and certified nut, Ryan Jordan, and I were chatting about the SUL challenge. He came up with this idea with no help from me...You all choose his SUL gear list for WINTER backpacking - we're talking sub 5# and real Montana winter - and he'll take exactly that gear out...in Montana...in the winter. He'll report back, IF he survives. We want him to survive, so really put some thought into this!
Edited by cmcrooker on 10/19/2005 11:30:28 MDT.
can we make him just a little uncomfortable?furthermore,I propose that Dr. Jordan use a list solely derived from the equipment that is available (or will be) on his website. We call this being potentially hoisted by his own petard. ;-)
I'm game for anything. Here's the gig.Deep snow.Low temps near zero.High temps subfreezing.Above treeline.Winter storm conditions.No equipment restrictions. Y'all pick my gear & clothing FSO. I choose my food, but you tell me how many oz/day."Go!"
How many days out ?
>> How many days out?Let's plan for 3. Short enough to represent the typical weekend getaway but more than an overnight so you have to think a little harder about keeping your gear dry etc.
Kevin,good idea. would speak well for BPL/BMW gear. however, doesn't he need something for his feet other than Poss'mDown socks?Dr. J,you're simply amazing. hope someone is going with you - just in case. your "fans"/disciples may decide to skimp in the warmth dept. when they select your gear. i'll suggest 24oz to 32oz of food - your choice b/t those two values, plus anything you need to obtain your own wild food - if you so desire.also, you should be able to descend below tree line for fuel if you need to build a fire for survival or to ward off frostbite.i'll leave the remainder of your gear to those out West who understand the conditions you'll find yourself in.
>> hope someone is going with you - just in case. your "fans"/disciples may decide to skimp in the warmth dept. when they select your gear.So be it. This will be solo. Not for the purpose of aggrandizing the 'event' but to maintain the reality and authenticity of the situation.BTW I will be taking photo gear and a tiny journal/pen to document, so I guess those items are nonnegotiable.>> i'll suggest 24oz to 32oz of food - your choice b/t those two values, plus anything you need to obtain your own wild food - if you so desire.Wild food. You're funny. Snowshoe hares?>> also, you should be able to descend below tree line for fuel if you need to build a fire for survival or to ward off frostbite.I'm a competent cookfire builder. If y'all decide for me to ditch the stove, I would do that, you know, for the purposes of ... research :)
My 1st rough,off the top of my head attempt at a winter SUL list came out to almost 8 lbs. This will be a challenge, indeed.I'm not counting weight of transportation-- I assume skis or snowshoes, which would be worn except for (hopefully) short stretches. This does imply a pack robust enough to strap them on. A snow shovel would be included--I have a 5.75 oz. one in mind.Above timberline---an Ice Axe I usually would have because I would want to do some ascents ( but I'm in the Pacific NW). No climbing or icy cols? Weight ,weight, weight.Alcohol Stove--is there one capable of melting sufficient snow in these conditions? I have no personal experience,here. I would be carrying a canister stove but that, too, will push the weight too high. I hate fussing with fires for cooking in Winter. And above timberline, use of wood is not really kosher.

I don't think Ryan will be warm enough, John.Give him a balaclava , wind pro top and bottom with good dwr or w/b, another layer in addition to the Cocoon Pullover or something warmer in a jacket.You can't always count on being able to dig a snow cave due to time or conditions, but one should be capable of digging out one, when possible---theSnowclaw is what i was thinking of, too.Unless he can dig a snowcave, I don't think that theArc X w/ insulated clothing will be warm enough if he is forced to do the bivy/tarp combo.17 oz./day of food in winter is probably not going to provide our guinea pig with enough calories--- he'll be peeling bark from trees,looking for bugs by the third day.I don't think that the G6 will provide enough volume for this particular winter load.I think that Ryan had mentioned that the Nano-bivy would come out at around 4 oz.
Edited by kdesign on 10/19/2005 15:48:55 MDT.
He's wearing all that. This is a base weight that will only contain clothing not worn but it still may not be enough..lol. I eat the same amount in winter as I do in summer with no ill effects, and Ryan is in better shape than me. On Ryan's last trip he had 17 oz/day.
Edited by jshann on 10/19/2005 16:44:53 MDT.
John,17oz/day? do you think that's enough - esp in winter? it's gonna' be a might cold, right? it's not like the good Doc is packing on the blubber in preparation for winter. where will the req'd calories come from?really? the same amt in winter as summer? not my experience. do other Forum participants have the same experience as John? or, is John's experience atypical?i still vote for 24oz to 32oz per day (Dr. J's choice - hope he picks 32oz/day).so, Dr. J, how many oz/day do you feel that you need for winter? [remember, no food caching ahead time]
Edited by pj on 10/19/2005 16:48:33 MDT.
Noticed some changes.Vapor mitts would be an excellant addition and should be counted as carried weight ( not always worn). Sunglasses or goggles --some of the better designed sportsglasses will offer almost the coverage of goggles,weigh less and fog up less. I've used them in such conditions. If he's rondennee skiing then I'd opt for the goggles.An extra pair of sox (non-sleeping) is needed.He will need a warmer bag---some of his worn clothing will be wet and he will need more of a margin to help dry them out w/o giving him hypothermia.I still question the food amount-- late spring thru early fall, I eat something like 14-17 oz./day but in sub freezing conditions pushing down towards zero, my intake quickly goes up to at least 25-26 oz. and am happier w/ more.That Whisper will not be happy schlepping skis or snowshoes ( which I assume will be used). And there is the volume question. A semi-custom G5 from Gossamer Gear might be a better choice in winter. It would have a 3+ oz. weight penalty while offering another 1000 cu. in. of space---wet items of clothing also take up more space.The sleep pads and tarp/bivy are dialed in. As well as most of the miss. items.

I can get 2700 calories in 17oz. I was able to get 10 days worth of powder Ensure so I can try my first hike in over a year. I will do half the Smokies south to Fontana Dam and then on South on the AT to Dicks Creek Gap. I am hoping for some snow. The powder Ensure is 1750 calories dry at about 11oz or so per can. I estamate the empty can at 3oz (a full can is 14oz). It is mixed 1/2 cup per 8oz of water. This stuff is a "Complete, Balanced Nutrition(R) to help stay healthy, active and energetic" and tasty, yea, sure. I have been on liquid diet for about 8 months and expect to be on it till about March 2006. I do eat a little other food, soft stuff like ice cream, ice cream and ice cream. The pre-mixed liquid stuff I have every day (2100) min calories per day at 500 calories per 8.45 FL-OZ per can is OK but a can weights 11.5oz. I do add a lot of different things to the stuff to make it taste better. The cans are just to heavy to carry 3 or 4 days worth at a time. Then I also would have a bunch of empty can to carry out. I thought about making small alcohol stoves out of the cans and leaving them along the trail like trail majic.
Yeeuch!Now,we wanna torture Ryan? If it's not enough that we'll be sending him into the cold, underequipped,he can't even have a tasty, solid meal. Even the condemned of ages past got bread and water. Now there's a thought----muwa ha ha ha!I like the magic alcohol stove idea, though.
(1) Armalite AR-7 survival rifle ---------40 oz. 25 rounds of .22 long ammo @2.56 g.ea=2.25 oz.base weight = 42.25 oz.idea is to kill an Elk and crawl into the warm, steaming ( and somewhat odiferous) carcass for warmth. Got your protein handy, too. Blood for liquid nourishment. Excellant wind pro and if you get out alive you can walk out with the makings of a fine elkskin coat (referees--- does this count against the base weight?
Looking better---it will only work if he can dig out snowcaves or pits or possibly if nights are still. I think that an overfilled Arc Alpinist would do it, at an added weight of 4 oz. ( get him 3"+ of loft). Ryan still needs at least another pair of sox. Really.Or you'll be answeringto his family.If you diregard this sage advice, if you get rid of the goggles and 1 oz. of map weight , Ryan can at least graduate to the larger G5 w/ no weight penalty.
Some framework as you continue on:I can cave or trench to get out of the wind. A cave with a snowclaw takes me 45 minutes to dig, a trench about 25. I can do fine at zero degrees outside in a 20 degree clothing/sleep system in a cave. But if in a trench, I'll need a tarp for the top and a sleep/clothing system rated for the ambient temp.Also, you choose the mode of travel: skis, snowshoes, shoes, whatever. Depends on how far you want me to travel. With skis I can hike uphill nonstop for two days and be down to the car in 20 minutes ;). With snowshoes you can't travel as fast. With shoes, your FSO weight is minimized but will motivate me to travel along rock ridges rather than snowy bowls! Options, options. It's so nice not to have to worry about it for once :)
Just remember to take those items on jesus's 1# gear list and don't freeze them, the thawing process can really be painful.

Research & Analysis
The payday lending industry frequently supports what they call reform of their own industry in state legislative battles, because they know that most of the measures in debate will not slow the rate at which they can make repeat payday loans to the same borrower. Our report, Phantom Demand, shows how the industry depends on "churned" borrowers, those who have to take a new loan before their next payday, for three quarters of their business.
In public, payday lenders say their loans are for infrequent use. In private, they say things like this: "The theory in the business is you've got to get that customer in, work to turn him into a repetitive customer, long-term customer, because that's really where the profitability is." (Dan Feehan, CEO of Cash America, remarks made at the Jeffries Financial Services Conference, 6-20-07)

Parties We Attended This Month
I guess December is really for parties. Oh well we just attended 3 birthday parties this month. Of course I was with my kids. First week of December, our team mate has their birthday party; yeah I use "their" because 3 of our team mates will celebrate their birthday together in the club house. My kids and I went their early, we were able to buy gifts for the celebrants, I was able to set some money aside for them it is not extravagant but I hope they like it.
Kids while waiting for the party to start.
The birthday celebrants
My sister also celebrated her birthday last December 18, and she invited us for dinner again. We decided not to attend the training since the dinner will start a little early this time. I don't have money to buy some gifts but at least I had an extra hundred bucks to buy ice cream and she was already delighted with it.
Us with the birthday celebrant
The celebrant and her mother in law
My Nephew's Birthday
Last Saturday, my sister message us and invited for a simple dinner party at their house. Their house is in the other block so after my eldest daughter's training in the pool. I drove them to sister's house right away. We arrived about 10:00 in the evening. We were just in the right time because they still have some left for us, yes we were late but they leave some foods for us three. My niece was still not there since she needs to do her project at her classmate's house. We stayed there until 12 in the morning because after we ate, we sang while the kids had fun.
My nephew and my youngest
Me and my sister the mother of my nephew
My niece went there after an hour, which made us to stay longer. She sent the laptop first at home before she went to sister's house to eat dinner.
Jollibee Treat Birthday Party
Last Tuesday, right after I went to Ladislawa Clubhouse for a meeting, I fetched the kids at home immediately for them to send them at the birthday party, the venue is in Jollibee at SM mall. We arrived there a little bit late and yet I didn't buy a gift. I just send the kids in to the venue and I ran off to buy a gift for the celebrant. When I am done, they were already getting their meal. Here are some of the pictures for the birthday party.
The birthday celebrant and my youngest daughter. I just arrive here from buying a gift for the birthday celebrant and too bad because I miss the game. I am sure Faith had lots of fun, they are already distributing the meal this time.
My eldest daughter smiled for me. Everyone is waiting here for Jollibee to come.
The birthday celebrant and her Dad
And the kids
Guarding Birthday Party's
This afternoon we will be pretty busy, my kids and I have to leave early at home to go to the mall. I guess I already mentioned this to one of my blogs that she was invited for a birthday party and they have to wear a Hawaiian costume. Mj and I already spotted a costume for Faith the other day and it is not expensive at all so I will bring Faith today in the mall to make sure the attire will fit in her.
At first I doubted for Faith to join, you see I am so tight now with money but when I saw the prize that we checked with Mj, I decided to join her in the party. Faith's love party I guess every child does. I remember Mj before when there is a birthday party in the neighbourhood she would run home right away to change clothes and she would tell me she have to attend a birthday party. I guess she would always guard those friends who have birthdays because without invitation she would really join the party.
Faith is obviously doing the same thing now, the difference is she is not guarding the neighbors birthday but of her classmates and those who would send an invitation card. This is her happiness so I must send her to the party. Geez I also have to mind the gift that we are going to give.

After her successful collaboration with Houndworthy and with some pretty exciting things on the go - one of them involving our very own Louniverse - I wanted to have a catch-up with the jewellery magician in her whimsical treasure trove of a studio in Clerkenwell. We talked about style, jewellery (of course) and she gave me her favourite addresses.
You wear a lot of prints and colours - do you have a recipe when it comes to getting dressed?
I wish I could say that I was so formulaic! My style is quite playful and colourful. A mix of old and new - like my jewellery designs I guess. I like to invest in a few really good quality items per year and as well as being a dedicated thrifter, I try to keep my ears pricked for sample sales. I have quite an array of fun DVF goodies.
Do you have a "uniform" of sorts?
I always wear my Kooples suede biker jacket and Whistles burgundy Portland rucksack. Then around that, everything changes. I like dressing up, be it for work or play so I always keep a pair of heels in my workshop to spruce up my outfit by night.
Current favourite pieces from your wardrobe?
You can't go wrong with a beautiful white shirt so at the moment, I love my CC41 one. I have several CC41 items and love their 1940's fit and all the small details. This shirt has beautiful centre pleats. I recently bought a pineapple print Adidas jacket from their recent Farm collab. It's kinda dressing down for me but I love the clashing colours. My current fave at the moment is a 1970's silk shirt. The butterflies are all hand-painted.
How do you decide on jewellery to wear? Do you always wear the same or switch things around?
I generally wear the same but then switch things around - like everyone I go through phases. I always wear my handcuff & 'Red Relished Apple' necklace, mini gold initial 'N' necklace and my Key Hoops. One of the treats about being a designer is also being friends with talented jewellers so whenever I get the chance at show, I sort out some hard core swapsies so my jewellery collection at home is pretty extensive now so dressing up is always fun.
Your Favourite:
- &Other Stories or I go to vintage fairs - a fave being the Clerkenwell Vintage Fair or Hammersmith.
Restaurant -
Polpo or for a taste of magic, Wheelers in Whitsable.
Designer -
Charlotte Olympia.
Animal -
City -
London or New York
Lipstick -
Mac Ruby Woo
Reading -
I'm away right now so I've had to keep books quite light weight. I've brought with meseveral Albert Camus novels
andI always re-read
LePetit Prince
when on holiday -
it takes me to a new place every time
Listening -
Nathan (her husband) recently introduced me to Cat Le Bon. She's pretty mezmerising.
Watching -
Lots of Mad Men and I've finally got into Twin Peaks - 20 years too late. Last film I saw was, 'Under the Skin' which I would totally recommend. It was beautifully shot.
- Black leather shorts, Kooples shirt and DvF knee high 60's style boots.
Crushing on -
I kinda like Nathan a lot right now!

Faster Pussycat is an American hard rock band from Los Angeles, California. Faster Pussycat was formed in 1986.The group was most successful during the late 1980s with their albums Faster Pussycat and Wake Me When It's Over.
Faster Pussycat was formed in Hollywood by Taime Downe in 1986. The earliest lineup of the band featured Downe and Greg Steele along with Brent Muscat.
After several more member changes, Faster Pussycat soon morphed into the band's most well known line-up. It consisted of Taime Downe singing, Greg Steele playing guitar, Brent Muscat also playing guitar, Kelly Nickels on bass guitar and Brett Bradshaw playing drums.
Before recording their debut album, Nickels left the group and was replaced by Eric Stacy. Stacy was once in the band Champagne. The band released their debut album Faster Pussycat in 1987. The band managed to build a cult following and put out several promotional videos from the first album for songs such as "Cathouse", "Bathroom Wall" and "Don't Change That Song". In the United States the band toured with Alice Cooper, David Lee Roth, and Motörhead in support of the album.
Two years later, Faster Pussycat would record their most successful album Wake Me When It's Over. The album received gold status. Its sales were largely because by the hit single, "House of Pain". Music videos were also produced for "House of Pain" and "Poison Ivy".
While the band was touring for the album in 1990, drummer Mark Michals was arrested in Omaha, Nebraska for trying to mail heroin to his hotel room and was subsequently kicked out of the band. Frankie Banali of Quiet Riot filled in as drummer for the remainder of the tour.
In 1992 Faster Pussycat released their third album called, Whipped! It peaked at #90 on the charts. This album was a more mature recording than their previous albums. It also explored some new musical territory. It was released as as the grunge music explosion was starting and like many other 1980s metal acts they suddenly disappeared.
After Faster Pussycat broke up, the members went their separate ways into various projects.
In December 2006, three former original Faster Pussycat members; Brent Muscat, Eric Stacy and Brett Bradshaw alongside The Underground Rebels vocalist, Kurt Frohlich, began performing under the name Faster Pussycat. It created two versions of the band both claiming to be the original. Brent's claimed purpose for this was to allow fans to hear Faster Pussycat tracks played in the way they originally recorded, as opposed to the Industrial rock-themed version he said Downe continued to front. Brent also made a legal claim to the name 'Faster Pussycat'.
Taime has continued on with the name 'Faster Pussycat.' This version of the band performed at Rocklahoma in July of 2007.
During their set, Taime Downe went on a tirade to the crowd referencing to Brent Muscat's cancer. He said he wished that he would die. Those statements received a poor reception from both the crowd and journalists. He then cut their set short and left the stage without playing several of their biggest hits.

|The Game Story:
|Towson, Md. - Junior Thomas DeNapoli scored the game winner with 1:04 left in overtime to lead Towson men's lacrosse (1-3) to a 9-8 win over Mercer (1-2) on Sunday at Unitas Stadium.
"I'm proud of our guys for finding a way to win today," said head coach Shawn Nadelen. "Getting win No. 1 in the books was important, and I hope this game moves us in the right direction for the rest of the season."
Mercer went on a five-goal run over the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth to take an 8-5 lead with 9:22 left in the game. Towson regrouped and scored the final four goals of the game (including DeNapoli's game winner) for the win. During that four-goal run, DeNapoli scored three times.
Chris Baxa led the Bears with four goals, and Zack Ward had two. Four Bears tallied an assist apiece.
The first quarter was a low-scoring affair, ending tied 1-1. Mercer took a 2-1 lead on a Baxa goal right off the first face-off of the second quarter. But senior Matt Hughes combined with sophomore Justin Mabus at 7:24 for a goal that keyed a 3-0 run to put Towson up 4-2 at the start of the third quarter.
Mercer would not go away, however. After sophomore Greg Cuccinello gave the Tigers a 5-3 lead at 5:50 in the third, the Bears scored the next five goals. In the middle of that run, Mercer took its first lead of the game on a Ward tally at 12:07 in the fourth. DeNapoli stemmed the tide with his second of a career-high-tying four goals at 9:10.
DeNapoli's goal was the first of three Tiger goals in the span of 40 seconds. Towson won the ensuing face-off and sophomore Cory Dobyns connected with classmate Ben McCarty score just 14 seconds later to inch the Tigers within one, 8-7, at 8:56 in the final quarter of regulation. DeNapoli knotted the score at 8-8 26 seconds later.
The teams were in a stalemate for the rest of the quarter. Despite a late Towson penalty that gave the Bears a man advantage with four seconds left in regulation, neither team was able to score until DeNapoli found the back of the cage for the game winner.
Towson out-shot Mercer 35-31, but the Bears won the ground ball and face-off battles 34-33 and 12-8, respectively. Senior Andrew Wascavage made seven saves for Towson, while Mike Nugent stopped 11 shots for Mercer.
Towson has a week off before returning to action on Saturday, March 2 when the Tigers travel to Mount St. Mary's at 7 p.m.

Tapatalk support?
Hey, I have the Tapatalk app for iPhone and just searched for this forum.. It's here, but says no response and to contact admins?
It's be cool to kill time by browsing this forum occasionally.
Apparently the iO6 update fubar'd the tapatalk app for this forum. It worked prior to Wednesday.
Aha.. Along with many of the other things we used to do on iOS5!
Can't go too hard on the guys though; when I update my Apple devices the very day any software updates come out I kinda accept some of the drama you get!
True that. However, this forum seems to be the only one (that I have on my tapatakl) affected by the update. :dunno:
Yeah, tapatalk for snowboardingforum isnt working on my android either. Its the only forum that is'nt. Hopefully this gets fixed soon!
Sounds like it's a forum issue, not a tapatalk issue if android is having problems accessing the site as well.

Fairyland of festivities
A magical ice palace was built for Bonhomme, the Carnival's guest of honour, for the first time at Place D'Youville in 1955. The impressive ice construction even had a dungeon, used to jokingly jail Carnival-goers who refused to honour Bonhomme's effigy. From 1956 to 1972, Bonhomme's palace was located also at Place d'Youville. Crowds gathered to dance and celebrate at the site that had special lighting and entertainment for the occasion. In 1973, Bonhomme's ice palace was moved opposite the Québec Parliament.
Built from snow
The Carnival kingdom's palace was built from snow from 1979 to 1994 with around 9,000 tons of snow compacted into enormous bricks. The bricks were shaped and assembled according to an artist's blueprints. The result was a castle of impressive dimensions; 50 metres wide, 20 metres deep and 20 metres high. Fifteen men worked continuously for two months to create this immense snow sculpture. The estimated cost of the project was $65,000 CAN, to which an additional $20,000 was added for electric installations, light displays and special effects. The work is always worth it, since the palace is the centre point for many Carnival activities.
To the delight of all Carnival-goers, the ice palace made its return in 1993. The move is seen as a refreshing return to Carnival's origins.
Site of Bonhomme's Palace
At the very beginning, the Palace was built in Place d'Youville. In the early 1970s, it was built on the Esplanade du Parlement. In 1999, the Palace was built in front of the Drill Hall since repairs were being done in front of the Parliament. From 2000 to 2011, Bonhomme's Ice Palace was set at Place de l'Assemblée-Nationale, near the traffic circle. In 2012, the Palace will be directly on the Plains of Abraham. In 2014, he resurfaced in his prime spot in front of the Parliament in Place de l'Assemblée-Nationale. Look at the photographs!

The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracyby David Brock
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In The Republican Noise Machine, David Brock skillfully documents perhaps the most important but least understood political development of the last thirty years: how the Republican Right has won political power and hijacked public discourse in the United States.
Brock, a former right-wing insider and the author of the New York Times bestseller Blinded by the Right, uses his keen understanding of the strategies, tactics, financing, and personalities of the American right wing to demonstrate how the once-fringe phenomenon of right-wing media has all but subsumed the regular media conversation, shaped the national consciousness, and turned American politics sharply to the right.
Brock documents how in the last several decades the GOP built a powerful media machine — newspapers and magazines, think tanks, talk radio networks, op-ed columnists, the FOX News Channel, Christian Right broadcasting, book publishers, and high-traffic internet sites — to sell conservatism to the public and discredit its opponents. This unabashedly biased multibillion-dollar communications empire disregards journalistic ethics and universal standards of fairness and accuracy, manufacturing "news" that is often bought and paid for by a tight network of corporate-backed foundations and old family fortunes. By dissecting the appeal, techniques, and reach of the booming right-wing media market, Brock demonstrates that it is largely based on bigotry, ignorance, and emotional manipulation closely tied to America's longstanding cultural divisions and the buying power of anti-intellectual traditionalists.
From the disputed 2000 presidential election to the war with Iraq to the political battles of 2004, Brock's penetrating analysis of right-wing media theories and methodology reveals that the Republican Right views the media as an extension of a broader struggle for political power. By tracing the political impact of right-wing media, Brock shows how disproportionate conservative influence in the media is integrally linked to the Republican Right's current domination of all three branches of government, to the propping up of the Bush administration, and to the inability of Democrats to voice their opposition to this political sea change or to compete on an even playing field.
As only an ex-conservative intimately familiar with the imperatives of the American right wing could, David Brock suggests ways in which concerned Americans can begin to redress the conservative ascendancy and cut through the propagandistic fog. Writing with verve and deep insight, he reaches far beyond typical bromides about media bias to produce an invaluable account of the rise of right-wing media and its political consequences. Promising to be the political book of the year, The Republican Noise Machine will transform the raging yet heretofore unsatisfying debate over the politics of the media for years to come.
"The author, once notorious as a conservative attack-journalist trashing the likes of Anita Hill and the Clintons, repudiated his past in the confessional Blinded by the Right. In this blistering j'accuse, Brock mounts a less gossipy and more systematic assault on the right-wing media juggernaut of think tanks, publishers, talk radio shows, Web sites and cable networks. He treats it as a disciplined political movement, inspired by Communist subversion techniques, bankrolled by a handful of right-wing zillionaires through corporate and foundation spigots, tightly yoked to the Republican policy agenda and masterminded by arch-conservative Grover Norquist at weekly strategy meetings. By Brock's account, it constitutes a seamless propaganda machine conveying dubious scholarship, Republican talking points and antiliberal smear campaigns from think tanks and Internet rumor mills to the FOX News and talk radio echo chambers and thence through a network of conservative pundits into the quality press. Meanwhile, Brock charges, the mainstream media, cowed by spurious charges of 'liberal bias,' have abandoned their role as objective arbiters of truth in favor of an uncritical airing of partisan ideology in the name of 'balance.' The result, he says, is a public discourse in which the line between fact and opinion is blurred, poorly funded liberal voices get shouted down, 'no issue can be honestly debated and no election can be fairly decided.' Brock's critique echoes that of other liberal media critics like Eric Alterman and Al Franken, and cannot be accused of nonpartisanship. He is dismissive of the conservative nostrums whose purveyors he pillories, and his biting takedowns of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and their ilk show he hasn't lost his taste for blood. But Brock's incisive, well-supported analysis and his street cred as an apostate from the conservative press make this a spirited challenge to the contemporary mediascape. (May 18)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Apple stepping into eastern European retail with Prague shop
updated 12:46 pm EDT, Mon June 23, 2014
Initial effort limited to store-within-a-store
Apple will dip its toe into eastern European retail for the first time through a store-within-a-store in the Czech capital of Prague, a media invitation reveals. The notice was sent out by local chain Alza, saying that Apple's presence will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Holešovice Alza location on Friday at 8PM. The sub-outlet should operate much like ones in Best Buy and Walmart stores in the US, which are manned by staff from Apple.
An unusual aspect of the Prague opening is that it will be attended by Martin Stransky, a Czech actor known for dubbing many Western shows. He may have been selected because he also read the Czech audiobook edition of Walter Isaacson's authorized Steve Jobs biography.
Apple has been gradually expanding full-scale stores into new countries during the past year, but has stayed out of eastern Europe for reasons unknown. The company's online store does have a presence, however.
