Pre 2 finally almost available on Verizon -- on sale Feb. 10 37
Yeah, so the Pre 3 was just announced, and that means it's time for Verizon to finally start selling the Pre 2. (Go ahead, read it again.)
Jon Rubenstein at this morning's "Think Beyond" event said that Big Red will finally offer up the Pre 2 tomorrow -- as in Thursday, Feb. 10. As for the Pre 3? You're still going to have to wait until "early spring."
So, uh, who's going to rush out and snap up one of these newly outdated Pre 2s?

Underwhelmed at best...
It better be free or super cheap with contract if Verizon expects to sell any... WTF were they thinking?
Look, I just want 2.0, or 2.2 on my Pre Plus until I'm able to get the Pre 3.
how can a company as big as HP, and people as smart as they are in Palm be so so stupid? who's going to buy the Pre2, when they're announcing Pre3 today? It's already outdated!!! jeez, i'm so disappointed today, it's unbelievable! I'm such a fanboy, but today is just depressing!
I might pick up a Pre2 when I can get one cheap and off contract on Ebay.
When HP says "early Spring" for the Pre3, does that mean early Spring 2011 or 2012?
It's Summer not Spring...I'd say late August which I suppose I may as well wait another 4 months when my contract is up and see what other phones become available. If Palm (I mean HP) doesn't upgrade my WebOS to 2 by then, I will lose all confidence in them and never purchase another product by them since they don't seem to care about their current customers.
HP should show a software upgrade path. For example, what new webOS features that will also show up in Pre 2.
My gut tells me, HP does not care about Pre 2 any more. They probably already built a bunch of them, so may as well sell them and get more people to use webOS.
I think if anything is going to kill Pre 2 sale, it would be Veer. Because I assume Veer would support the touch share, which does not look like it would be possible with Pre 2.
I'll get one as a trade for my Pre+ :)
You've got to be kidding!!!
Yeah this will totally sell against the Verizon iPhone 4. They shouldn't even bother at this point. I really hope Sprint picks up the Pre 3, otherwise I'm gone. My contract is up in September.
ill pick a Pre2 up from craigslist.. patiently waiting.
Didn't HP's CEO just say they weren't going to announce stuff until it was ready to ship?
Did Rubenstein really say 'finally'?
I'm pretty sure the Pre 3 wasn't available until SUMMER. The tiny phone was the spring garbage.
No prices, and no solid date on anything except the device that they already released?
Sounds like S.O.S. vaporware to me. By the time this stuff comes out it will all be outdated, once again.
so we're back to "coming months"....Pre2 doesn't sound too bad now. As long as it still comes with free Verizon HotSpot, it's a great device -- and it's the only way to get webOS 2 in my hands for the next several months.
This looks great! I can't wait for the new phone, I'll stay up all night if I need to.
And by the way, you whiners who want a new form fractor or slab phone: Get and iphone and go away! Palm has always had a physical keyboard and I hope always will. Jees, you can download any number of virtual keyboards if you like and never open it up. Go away, and don't rain on our parade!
.... back to where I was; oh yeah, the pre 3 looks great! Hp is really getting serious about the cloud and I think this phone reflects that. How fast is 1.4 gh if you overclock? We'll see, but for today I'm really happy. I think they hit a home run and will soon be ahead of apple instead of pulling even.
again, another stupid play by hp. really, what are they thinking????
Disappointed on the Pre2's release. Competing with the iPhone4 is crazy talk. They could've gotten some buzz ANY OTHER DAY OF THE YEAR.
I'm getting it! my Pre plus is on its last legs. I have a warranty plan though that comes with an upgrade if the old phone was discontinued. i have a "feeling" my pre plus might just conveniently break in the next few days. hehe i thought ahead! :)
I'm buying one, my Pre+ is working fine, but I don't want to wait for the Pre 3, it is CDMA, but who knows if Verizon will get it or Sprint (hopefully HP will do like Samsung did with the Galaxy S and get it everywhere), but I'd rather wait with the Pre2.
If it's not too bad in price, I'll probably pick one up to make the wait for the Pre 3 a bit less painful. My Pre + is pretty much on its last legs so this would be a nice upgrade until then.
I just talked to our local Verizon store 6pm EST and they had not heard anything about the Pre 2 launching tomorrow. This launch is a total joke.
this is a mistake, right?
As for the Pre 3? You're still going to have to wait until "early spring."
This sucks, I dont care about VZ Im on Sprint. BUT WTF!!! Is H/Palm crazy????? The Pre 3 should be out tomorrow to compete with the iphone4. By the time the damn Pre 3 hits shelves it will already be behind. I had MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH higher hopes for todays reveals. =( x10
If you all think that Verizon will have the Pre 3 this summer, look how long we have waited for the Pre 2. I'm going to get a Pre 2 until Verizon will get their heads in the game.
I will be getting the Pre 2! I have been wanting it for months. Just because something better will be coming out in the summer does not bother me. There will always be something newer, faster. Can't wait. Come on Verizon open up.
Just more Palm lies. It's Feb.10th, where's the Verizon Pre 2?
Edit: oh I see that Palm has added it to their website as an advance order. I guess that's what they mean by "available."
I will likely pick one up - off contract, mind you, so I'll be paying full price. I'll be in the same boat for Pre3 - I won't get upgrade rights for a good long time. I need to ditch this Pixi Plus ASAP, though. It's painfully slow.
On a side note, Pre3+Touchpad WiFi could be gadget nerdvana for me.
if you view the tech of the 2 and 3 there not to different...well the 3 blows me away but the price and availblity is here for the 2....hmmm.....tough very tough....
Went to Verizon today and they didn't even hear of the pre 2 being released.
It isn't listed on the Verizon webiste!!!!
They are pushing the iphone 4...
At 700.00 no upgrade discounts....

"World Criminal Court a Slippery Slope For US"--An Op-Ed by Prof. Ruth Wedgwood
(This essay was originally published in the August 10, 2002, edition of the Boston Globe)
World Criminal Court a Slippery Slope For US
By Ruth Wedgwood, professor of law
This has been a season of friction with our European allies. In the debut of the International Criminal Court and in the post-Sept. 11 debate over Guantanamo detainees, a number of continental companions-in-arms have doubted our good faith, hissing with a post-Cold War pique. It's easy to tell when you're no longer wanted, in an age of folded nuclear umbrellas.
Some domestic observers of the Bush administration have shown the same disdain. As case in point, one may cite the views of Abner Mikva and Anthony Lake, recently expressed in these pages. Judge Mikva served with distinction as President Clinton's White House counsel. Lake was national security adviser.
But Washington's commitment to a robust war against terrorism and worries about a roving international court are not an abandonment of "our most basic national ideals." White House mugwumpery is plausibly explained by a grounded concern about US national security interests.
First, consider the International Criminal Court. Mikva and Lake argue that we are "defaulting on our basic beliefs" in opposing the use of a criminal sledgehammer to audit the actions of American soldiers and political leaders.
It was sensible policy to propose special-purpose United Nations tribunals to punish the perpetrators of genocide in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia.
Since the mid-1990s, both courts have worked overtime to craft a common international procedure and present proof against the mountebanks who organized those massacres.
The trial of Slobodan Milosevic is underway in The Hague.
But the design of a court for all times and places is a far more intricate task. Many areas of the law of armed conflict are unsettled and remain the center of debate on the appropriate mixture of efficacy and restraint.
It is dangerous to abandon our effectiveness in battle out of risk-averse lawyering. Of course we should always be shocked at the violence of war. But armed force will sometimes be needed to protect our vital interests and shared moral standards against determined spoilers.
Belgrade's use of brickbats in the Kosovo campaign shows how a misappropriation of the law of war can be used as a weapon by a shameless adversary. At the outset of the NATO campaign to stop Belgrade's "ethnic cleansing," Milosevic ran to the 50-year-old International Court of Justice in The Hague, filing a civil suit to charge that the full range of NATO's tactics were illegal.
The United States escaped on jurisdictional grounds, but allies are still in the dock.
The International Criminal Court would raise the stakes yet further, permitting adversaries to fling criminal charges against individual members of the military, demanding criminal investigations as a way of changing the subject.
The abstract norms of the law of war sound clear enough. No deliberate attacks on civilians, and no disproportionate harm to civilians in the pursuit of a military objective. But there is disagreement on what is a civilian object, and what is undue harm. Standard tactics of our military missions have been hotly disputed by nongovernmental organizations.
To disable Milosevic's tanks and armored personnel carriers, we attempted to cut off Serbia's fuel supplies. To shut down antiaircraft radar, we disabled Kosovo's electrical grid. To keep the nationalist leader from maintaining tactical flexibility in deployment, we bombed the bridges over the Danube.
Each of these posed hardships for Serb civilians. But the war aim was to keep hundreds of thousands of Kosovar Albanians alive and to protect them from losing their lives and homes in Slobo's irrational spasm of ethnic cleansing after Rambouillet.
The touted treaty safeguard of "complementarity" says that the international criminal court will step in only if the United States is "unwilling or unable genuinely" to carry out an investigation and prosecution at home.
But that is no safeguard in the disputed areas of military doctrine. By definition, we will not prosecute a pilot or a commander for employing tactics that we believe are lawful.
The open desire to "progressively develop the law means that International Criminal Court judges will be urged to measure American military actions against standards that we have not accepted."
Indeed, consent has been abandoned even for jurisdiction. The recent debate over peacekeeping was ignited, ironically enough, by Europe's desire to have the court become a roving substitute for the United Nations Security Council, targeting the citizens of countries whose governments have rejected the treaty.
This third-party power grab, though cloaked in sheep's clothing, is the cause of Washington's attempt to make plain that we are serious in disputing the pretensions of a court too big for its treaty-britches.
There are methods of renewing American cooperation with our allies against the world's brutal dictators.
The ICC prosecutor, once appointed, should make clear the priority of using the court to quell massacres, forswearing the temptation to use it as a substitute for NATO headquarters.
The treaty parties could put forward one or more military lawyers as judges for the new bench, to make clear that the court's deliberations will include some understanding of the fog of war.
But the United States had every right to make clear that it would not join a court or treaty that even President Clinton thought was not ready for ratification. Manichean melodrama doesn't change that fact.
The second issue is the detention of fighters captured in Afghanistan as "unlawful combatants." Victory in war requires that one vanquish the adversary's soldiers. Once they are captured, there is a lawful right to detain them as combatants until active hostilities are over. This is a familiar prerogative under the Third Geneva Convention of 1949 and customary law as well.
Combatants are not detained as criminals, but rather to keep them from returning to the fight. It is a simple misapprehension to suppose that every person detained at Guantanamo as a combatant has to be put on trial for war crimes or else released.
Deciding that Al Qaeda and the Taliban do not qualify as a lawful fighting force is a profound question appropriately remitted to the highest level of responsibility.
The president's legal and factual finding was recently affirmed by Federal District Judge Tim Ellis III, in the pretrial motions surrounding the John Walker Lindh case.
Contrary to the belief of Lake and Mikva, the term "unlawful combatant" is a familiar term, stemming from the Supreme Court's decisions in World War II, with roots in the earlier Brussels, Hague, and Geneva treaty conferences.
Over time, we may need to have some procedure for review of the status of Guantanamo detainees. These combatants can't be "demobilized" in the way of conventional wars. Many were embarked on jihad and do not follow earthly authority. But one can reexamine periodically whether their attitude has changed and consider any reasons why they may no longer be a threat.
Our commitment to humane values must remain absolute, even in fighting the nation's wars. But this is not the same as naivete. Officials of the International Committee of the Red Cross have talked openly of the need to adapt the law of armed conflict to a new set of problems. We face a new kind of terrorist network with a taste for weapons of mass destruction, and must work hard to create fair standards in countering the threat.
But a dismal dyspepsia and moral hauteur are not always helpful in meeting the intellectual challenge of a new kind of war.
Ruth Wedgwood, a professor of law at Yale and Johns Hopkins universities, is a member of the secretary of state's advisory committee on international law.

text: Hey guys, I picked up a copy of The Outsiders Vinyl a couple days ago and now I need to get a record player! lol. I plan on getting all of Eric's Vinyls as well as Springsteen Vinyls eventually, but need some suggestions from you guys that already have them! I'm 23 years old, so I'm more familiar with the walkmans lol not trying to go crazy with how much I spend on one, I figure 100-150 is probably what I'd be willing to spend. If there's an excellent record player out there for cheaper though, by all means obviously. Also, should I be going somewhere to buy it specifically or is eBay reliable? Thanks fellow choir members!

Cleveland Indians – Past and Present
[powered by WordPress.]
The Indians have their final home series of the season and being just two games below .500, that's definitely a goal worth shooting for in what was a disappointment. The Indians went from favorites to last place to being one of the better teams in baseball in the second half in a truly bizarre season. Still, the .500 mark isn't something I would have thought possible back in July and while the Indians are done from a playoff standpoint, this is all we really have to cling to.
My nephews little league season wound down a few weeks ago but I definitely know where I'm going to get his Christmas present. While driving on a trip to Cincinnati, we stopped in at Baseball Rampage and I tried out one of the bats in their state of the art cages. I'll be buying my nephew some baseball gear including most likey a glove and I can't decide whether to make the drive or just order from their website. I might have to go down there because they literally had hundreds of baseball gloves to choose from.

Took my Son Fishing
Type: Freshwater
Region: Northern
Location: Susquehanna River
06-28-2011: My son Jason and I took a trip out on the river for some Bass fishing. The morning was overcast with thick fog on the river. My lure of choice is a crankbait most of the time for the river. Our morning consisted of catching 5 bass (several over 15") 1 nice catfish about 30" (lost @ boatside) 1 yellow perch 1 Rock bass . All of the fish were very active this morning just before the sky opened and dumped a bunch of rain on us for about 30 minutes. Good thing we carry our Gore Tex suits on the boat. We were only fishing for about 4 hours. Here are some of the pictures of our 2 largest bass. All the fish were released for another day of fishing.

Fantasia kept it real during her appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" where she performed her new song for the first time ever.
Fannie had a lot to talk about with Oprah when you consider her reality show, "Fantasia for Real," and her upcoming album. But the TV host wanted to know what was really going on behind all the headlines, from Fantasia's Broadway no-shows to reports of her home going into foreclosure.
"Dealing with Broadway and dealing with this young lady who's being told she's ugly every day and going through so many things. It became an overload on me," Fantasia said of her initial run in The Color Purple. However, what really took her out of comission were two bengin tumors on her vocal chords.
Doctors told 'Tasia that having the growths removed could affect her voice. Thankfully she made a full recovery. "I couldn't work or sing for six weeks," she says. "But I'm good as gold now."
Fantasia also opened up to O about why her home was up for bid at one point, stating that she just trusted others around her to watch out for her financial well-being.
"I was young, fresh in the game, and I just wanted to sing, without really understanding that you still have to watch after everything that you have going for you," she shared. "You have to take care of your money. You have to meet with your lawyers and look over your schedule and figure out what it is that you have going on."
Fantasia has managed to come through all the drama and carry on with her career, including another stint as Celie in a tour for The Color Purple. But the crown jewel of her time on "Oprah" was a powerful performance of her new song "Even Angels." You can listen to the track below.

Student Spotlight
Elizabeth Ross ′15
By Lynn Conlee
As a high school student, Elizabeth Ross ′15 invented a breathalyzer for diabetics—a rather auspicious prelude to entering Rhodes in 2011. We wondered how having two years of Rhodes under her belt has changed her.
Rhodes Magazine: Given your invention, many people would assume that you would be a science major, possibly planning to attend medical school. Is that the case?
Elizabeth Ross: It is not the case. I did come into Rhodes pre-med initially. I was the most pre-med person all my life, planning on being a surgeon, so I came into Rhodes taking biology courses and volunteering at different hospitals. Then, I started taking political science courses and being able to study health care through the political science aspect, as well as through my volunteering. I realized that I had a different passion, that I wanted to study the policy of health care. I′ve been able to shift my love of science—or the biology of health care—to the practicality of how I could change the health-care system and fix it and be able to help people through it.
RM: Tell us some ways that your medical and political interests have intersected at Rhodes.
ER: I am on the mock trial team and I started enjoying how I liked arguing. Science forces you to think in a certain reasoned way, that there is one pathway to get to an answer. Through the political science and philosophy and mock trial systems of arguing, you can find any reasoning. Through that logic, I was able to address issues I was seeing in my services sites and in the community.
Most recently, I became a certified ombudsman in the community and I′m a state-certified public advocate for the elderly. I′ve really enjoyed doing advocacy work for the community at Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association. I′ve been looking for something where I could take my interest in the community and see direct change. I work in elderly homes and I make sure they are getting the right quality of life and quality of care. If I find a deficiency, I′m actually contacting the legislators and reporting to the state. So I am creating direct change in the community, which is what I′m really enjoying.
RM: Your many volunteer activities suggest a strong sense of compassion. How do you think that developed in you?
ER: My brother and I have volunteered since we were little. I started volunteering when I was four for something called Pie in the Sky. My mom always said if you have two hands and a heart for something, you can help your community. We just always had the sense of wanting to give and wanting to do whatever we could for the people around us.
RM: Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
ER: People make fun of me. I′m a big Post-it Note and color-coder, so 20 years is actually quite planned out! After Rhodes, I hope to go to law school and I′d like to do the naval JAG core and join the Navy. After doing law for the Navy, I want to do health care medicine and policy reform and health care law.
RM: Why the Navy?
ER: The Navy had a big stake in the funding for my research institution in high school that resulted in the breathalyzer. I just believe so much in the Navy.

cutting carbon steerer
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
I've got to cut the steerer tube on a new build shortly, it's carbon. Have never cut the steerer tube myself before, is it going to involve more than a hacksaw and a pipe cutting guide to get it straight?
Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of?
just cut mine using a pen and a hack saw. Just go for it bro

Hi, I have always used a wide masking tape slowly wrapped around the tube once you know where the cut is to be made. Being wide and used with little tension it will keep the tape line straight. If both ends meet perfect then your cut guide line will be correct.
I use junior type hacksaws on carbon, but don't just go from one point, slowly revolve the tube lightly sawing as you go. Once you have a good guide line it is just a matter of folowing this carefully around making the cut deeper as you go. Finaly finish with a light file. Sometimes just sawing straight through with a large hacksaw CAN splinter the carbon and send a sliver down the tube - you don't want this. Take your time and you will be OK.
There are special 'clamps' that can be bought, but if its only the one the above method works well.
I have used this for 'donkeys' on carbon, aluminium and steel without issues.
Hope this helps.
Grunt, puff, pant and groan goes the old man - but he gets there in the end. ;o)

Park do a specific hacksaw blade (CSB-1) for carbon steerers, it has a grinding surface instead of teeth so it's kinder to the carbon. trikeman's advice about starting the cut all the way around the steerer first is well worth following too.

Buy a Carbide Grit Hacksaw Blade for your normal hacksaw - much cheaper than buying the Park one.

20th April 2012 - 22:22
Yep - good advice in here. I was a bit anxious about it initially, but tbh it was pretty easy.
When I cut mine down I used masking tape, drew the cut line on that and made a shallow cut all the way around with a jnr hacksaw blade. Once the shallow groove was there I used light pressure and made the cut. It went fine.
Use a fine grade of wet & dry paper to put a small 45 degree chamfer on the new top edge. That looks neat, and helps the stem & spacers to slide on easily. Use a mask or keep your head away from the carbon dust.
Make sure when you measure you cut it low enough for the top cap of the aheadset to have a couple of mm of free space to tighten down on the headset stack. Last thing you want is a lovely neat cut that doesn't let you adjust it properly.

dont get too worried. A junior hacksaw with a high TPI, a cutting guide and some tape round the steerer where you are going to cut. I have done 2 successfully and have always cut straight through. The carbon will split badly if you don't put the tape on. Just take your time, and slam that stem!

Just cut my steerer, as suggested here I used a high TPI blade. As a guide I used and old defunct stem seem to work perfectly.

Just a word of warning don't be too keen to cut your steerer. After cutting mine down I rode the bike for a while and thought it was a bit too low. Which is a bit tough after you have cut it! On my other bike I cut it longer and left some spacers on top of the stem to get used to it before deciding to cut to size.

Having just given this a go i would add two points which may/may not be useful or obvious!
1. A new fork is really long so have a practice further up!
2. If you cut from one point all the way through its very hard to not cut at an angle. So the shallow cut all the way around and Trikeman's point about revolving the tube as you cut is definately helpful

You can avoid cutting at an angle by installing two Jubilee clips on the steerer a few mm apart to allow the cutting blade through. I've done this successfully, it seems to work as well as a steerer cutting guide.

Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs. B - Pennsylvania
On this trip, I visited Tanzania & Zanzibar between 23-Sep-2010 and 9-Oct-2010 and I travelled with 1 other person.
What we loved about the trip was the variety of locations, living arrangements and geography. It was a nicely mixed bag. The entire trip was seamless. We never had to worry . Someone else was in charge and we transitioned from plane to plane, camp to camp, etc. without a worry. It was brilliant and you will be dealing with us in the future as we are hooked on Africa.
The only downside to the entire trip was Lake Manyara. After the solitude of Selous, it was a culture shock and something we could have taken a big miss on. The Ngogoro Crater was also difficult with its traffic jams but the crater more than made up for that. In the future we will steer clear of "busy" spots because they simply aren't our thing.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I really cannot think of a thing. Claire Scott did a fabulous job and we will recommend her and Expert Africa to our friends in the US. Sadly, people in the US do not travel nearly enough and can't be counted on for much business.

This war-drama centers more on the effects of battle on civilians than it does on the bravery of the fighters as it tells the story of a courageous squadron of Yankee soldiers endeavoring to protect and bring to safety a village full of French civilians whom they saved from German captors following the Allied invasion of Normandy. During the battle to free them, the soldiers also capture a German officer. They then begin heading toward the beach with the civilians so they can go to England. Unfortunately, the beachmaster does not know they are coming and regretfully sends them back. Twice more the squadron and the civilians go back to the beach, but they are still not allowed to go. Things get even worse when the Germans begin bombing the remains of their town and they are forced to find some place to hide until help arrives. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Astoria's community leaders are outraged over a 50-unit condominium development for mentally challenged, homeless people that is currently being constructed in the area.
Councilmember Peter Vallone Jr. has campaigned against the project, which is located at 27th Avenue and 2nd Street, since it was initially proposed in 2008.
"For years I have advocated for better resources in this community," said Vallone. "A supermarket, grocery store, bank or even book store would have been appropriate and helpful. We can't sustain the additional strain of a 50-unit development for homeless people with special needs. Astoria's waterfront is one of the most beautiful stretches in the five boroughs. We should be helping our existing residents with more facilities rather than using state funds for a new development that will only hinder the community."
Vallone believes that the project's location contradicts Urban Pathways' objectives due to the lack of services available in the surrounding community, which the councilmember calls "largely underdeveloped" and "an isolated area."
Repeated calls to Urban Pathways went unreturned as of press time.
Community Board 1, which represents Astoria, voted against the project on December 16, 2008.
"The immediate community is lacking the necessary services to accommodate the new residents," said Lucille Hartmann, district manager of Community Board 1. "Currently, the community supports Goodwill Industries, which is about one block east of the new development and contains 202 units for approximately 350 residents. The New York City Housing Authority is also across the street from the development and they house approximately 8,000 residents. The amenities available to the community, such as affordable supermarkets, banks and hospitals, are a minimum of a mile away. Public transportation is also very limited, with only buses."
Vallone claims that "every community group in Astoria opposes" the plan. He also says that he has made numerous efforts to negotiate with the developers, but that his requests have fallen on deaf ears.
"As the state prepares for massive layoffs, millions of dollars are now being used for an unwanted project in a struggling neighborhood," Vallone said. "We attempted to discuss a compromise with them – a 15-person community-living residence similar to those that exist everywhere else in Queens – but the state refused to even respond."
The councilmember estimates that the monetary difference between a 15-person and 50-person development could be as high as $20 million in state funds.
The New York State Office of Mental Health declined to comment regarding the project.
Members of the community appear divided on the issue, with some insisting their neighborhood is not the appropriate setting for the development.
"I'm not happy about it," said Vanessa Finch, a 40-year-old resident of Astoria Houses, which is located directly across the street from the site. "Nobody is happy to have that in their neighborhood, but what can we do?"
Others appear more accepting of the project and hope the center will help the less fortunate by providing them with shelter.
"We are all humans," said 25-year-old Alan Hughes, another resident of Astoria Houses. "Everyone has to have a place to live. Who are we to say they can't live here?"

« Woah woah woah, who's this? | Home | Buckeye Awakening #8 »
Let's "spring" forward!
By Jordan | March 5, 2013
First off, I'm really sorry for the corniness of the title. But, its probably the most appropriate for how I'm feeling right now. Next week is Spring Break 2013, making this officially Spring Break Eve Week! How does one celebrate Spring Break Eve Week? Simple, by going to class and doing homework of course.
This week is almost completely different from school last week. Last week was filled with midterms, papers, and homework. This week is definitely more chill (for me at least). Despite the lack of pressure this week feels as if its dragging slow, keeping me away from a week of relaxation. I'm looking forward to Spring Break as much as anybody else; I'll be home for the first time since early January, and it'll be the last time I visit my home in Houston before summer starts. As of now I don't have any big plans, I'll probably spend most of my time reconnecting with old friends.
Most students look at Spring Break as a chance to have tons of fun, take a break from school, or catch up on their studies. A lot of people, especially those in college, try to take the most advantage out of the week-long break from school. Regardless of what you do, I hope you all stay safe and enjoy yourselves!

Apparently diverting from the literal translation of the quran is forbidden. Unless you are practicing al-taqiya and trying to confuse and lull infidels into a sense of "understanding" islam as bring peaceful…
Afghanistan: Death penalty call for man who spread Koran translation
Karachi, 23 June (AKI) – (by Syed Saleem Shahzad) – An Afghan journalist accused of distributing an unacceptable translation of the Koran should be put to death, says former Prime Minister Ahmad Shah Ahmadzai.
Former journalist Ghows Zalmay, who was also the spokesman for Afghanistan's Attorney-General, was arrested in November last year for distributing a translation of the Koran into Dari, one of Afghanistan's two official languages.
Ahmadzai, who ran in the 2004 presidential election against current President Hamid Karzai, told Adnkronos International (AKI) he supported the death penalty for Zalmay.
"Today Afghanistan is full of vices. Several Afghan restaurants serve liquor, despite it being illegal and on top of it, such material is distributed," Ahmadzai told AKI.
"I am in favour of his death."
Muslim scholars in Afghanistan reportedly said that the new version of the Koran misinterpreted verses about alcohol, begging, homosexuality and adultery. They also complained that this version was not accompanied by the original version of the Koran in Arabic.
Ghows, 50, is reportedy in jail after being accused of blasphemy and his lawyers say he risks the death penalty. He is expected to face charges in an Afghan court within the next week.
"This is all an American conspiracy to deviate Afghans from their faith," said Al-Hajj Farooq Hussaini, the leader of a Muslim prayer association in the western city of Herat in an interview with Adnkronos International (AKI).
"They want us to be converted Christians or simply atheists. This American occupation of Afghanistan is worse than the occupation of Afghanistan by the Soviets," he said.
Hussaini also referred to the case of Abdul Rahman, an Afghan Christian convert who was granted asylum in Italy in 2006. Rahman escaped a possible death sentence in Afghanistan for becoming a Christian.
"Earlier they protected Abdul Rahman who left Islam and converted to Christianity and now they are encouraging the distribution of the fake translations of Koran," said Hussaini who is also the leader of a group led by Ismail Khan, Afghanistan's Energy Minister.
"Ghows Zalmay should be given an exemplary punishment for his crime," he said.
Many Muslim bloggers have labelled some new translations of the Koran, as the "American Koran", which they say is unauthentic and aimed at distracting Muslims from their faith.
Well, considering most Afghani citizens can't even read their own language, let alone Arabic, I don't see why not having the original Arabic translation is relevant. But muslims love to work themselves into a frenzy over any slight against pedophile muhammad or his book of terror, real or imagined (see Danish Muhammad cartoons, Paris riots of 2005,2006, 2007, any rally in the middle east that ends with a DEATH TO AMERICA chant).

Starz Cancels 'Camelot,' Jay Mohr to Sub for Andy Cohen on 'Watch What Happens Live' & More TV News
The costume drama, which shot in Ireland, was experiencing scheduling conflicts with several of its actors, Deadline reports. The King Arthur legend retelling drew 1.5 million viewers for its season finale earlier this month, but Starz declined to bring back the series for a second season anyway.

What's your favorite Twilight Zone episode?
So I'm contemplating my favorite Twilight Zone episodes, and it's really hard to choose. But if I had to narrow it down to three, I'd probably go with these:
"Time Alone At Last": This is the one where a book lover finds himself joyously alone with books after a nuclear blast. Until ... I keep thinking he'd be able to remedy that situation by trolling through optometry shops -- if he could see well enough to find one, that is.
All Allison wants for Festivus
-- Last year I wished for Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman Palladino to get another shot at TV after the horrible Jezebel James. Well, she's got a deal with HBO. Good for her. Now, for me, let's get her to write and film the finale for Rory and Lorelai and Luke and Star's Hollow that she intended for GG. It's time to do it now while all the principals are still active. The Mary Tyler Moore reunion with Rhoda came two decades too late.
What's Hot on SlashControl: Night Gallery
Since we're in a Halloween mood tonight, let's talk about Night Gallery, one of the scariest shows I remember from my childhood. Conceived and hosted by The Twilight Zone's Rod Serling, the series ran from 1970 to 1973 and featured some well known actors, including William Windom, Burgess Meredith, John Astin and James Farentino.
While The Twilight Zone always seemed more sci-fi based, Night Gallery had more of a horror feel to it and featured more ghostly, psychological stories. In short, it scared the crap out of me. One of the scariest episodes focused on two stories about some spooky real estate: "The House / Certain Shadows on the Wall."
TV Squad Ten: best Twilight Zone episodes
Friday marked the 50th Anniversary of The Twilight Zone's debut on CBS. The first episode was titled "Where Is Everybody?" and featured Earl Holliman as a military man trapped in a town where it seems everyone has vanished. You find out at the end that it was all an experiment to see how astronauts would handle being alone on long missions. Holliman was really safe.
The Twilight Zone to be a movie again
I'm not sure what DiCaprio could do with the franchise that hasn't been done before. It's basically science fiction, fantasy and horror stories with a twist ending (M. Night Shyamalan owes his entire career to The Twilight Zone). Rumor has it that the new movie will be a set of interwoven stories based on classics from the original run of the show that were written by Rod Serling himself, albeit with more pretty computer-generated special effects. For some reason, I find that unoriginal and possibly downright scary.
Still, The Twilight Zone was groundbreaking for its time and a very flexible concept. If Star Trek could be successfully reinvented for the movies, why not this franchise?
Rod Serling did not control The Twilight Zone - VIDEO
It took audiences on an out of control thrill ride that zigged and zagged in directions that no one saw coming. The stories would lead viewers one way and just when they thought they had the ending figured out, it took them down an emotional corkscrew that could melt their brains. It was and still is digital acid, minus the waking up in a dumpster with a head of hair that smells like raw chicken.
But picture if you will, an even bigger twist lying inside this twisted wasteland of shock and discovery. A twist that smashes the fourth wall of television with the brute force of a charging rhino strapped to the front of a nuclear warhead and reveals the true identity of the man who pulls all the strings....in The Twilight Zone.
Classic TV to get stamped
I do like the retro design of the stamps and how each looks like an old picture tube. I see a lot of familiar faces in there, including Phil Silvers, Howdy Doody, Rod Serling, Alfred Hitchcock, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy and many others. Did they miss anybody?
I think the Postal Service isn't going far enough with this. They should release stamps commemorating television shows for each year, or perhaps more appropriately each television era. For the 70's they could include M*A*S*H and All In The Family. For the 80's they could include Knight Rider and The A Team. At least, they would be included if I designed the stamps.
New Twilight Zone graphic novels coming (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
Publishing company Walker & Co. is getting together with the estate of Rod Serling and the Savannah College of Art & Design to produce several graphic novels that will be based on the scripts of the original Twilight Zone series. The books (there will be eight in all, and perhaps more to come if these are received well) are to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Twilight Zone episode, which will be next year. The first two episodes they're doing are "Walking Distance" and "The After Hours."
This year, the Emmys will feature everyone who has ever been on TV
As we've told you before, this is the 60th anniversary of the Emmy Awards. The September 21 show, telecast on ABC, will not only celebrate the Best Actresses and Best Dramas of the current prime time lineup, it will also celebrate the many stars and characters and shows of 10, 20, 40, 60 years ago.
ABC has created an ad that features a lot of those stars. A lot of the stars are easy to find and it's a no-brainer that they were included (Marge and Homer, Rod Serling, Dick Van Dyke, Stewie, the South Park guys, etc), but I'm happy to also see some people I didn't think would be in such an ad: Guy Williams as Zorro, Robert Culp from I Spy, Mike Connors from Mannix, Tim Daly from Wings, Wally Cox from Mr. Peepers, among others.
1950s Mike Wallace interviews now online
TV fans are probably already aware that veteran journalist Mike Wallace had a television career long before 60 Minutes. Twilight Zone fans have probably seen the famous one-on-one interview with Rod Serling he did before the classic sci-fi show premiered (available on one of the Twilight Zone DVDs) on his Mike Wallace Interview show. Now several other interviews from that series have been archived online for everyone to see.
Stump the King - Rod Serling - VIDEO
I got a great letter this week...
"I remember watching a documentary, I believe it was about Rod Serling, & on it was mentioned a Western series the producer had developed, starring Lloyd Bridges & Brock Peters. Any idea what this show was called? Or, was it maybe Gene Roddenberry's show? Thanks for the help! Steve Atwell"
Rod Serling's The Velvet Alley - VIDEO
I've been looking for a copy of this Playhouse 90 episode for years. VHS, DVD, some guy doing a puppet show version of it in his living room, whatever, I've really wanted to see it since seeing snippets of it on the excellent PBS American Masters episode "Submitted For Your Approval" (it's on one of the Twilight Zone DVDs). And now, thanks to YouTube, we can all watch it.
Well, most of it anyway. After the jump, I posted the opening of the show (complete with intros and commercials!), and then if you follow this link you can find other segments of the show (on the right), but I have no idea what order they go in because they aren't labeled. It's well worth watching though. I mean, look at the cast: Art Carney, Jack Klugman, Leslie Nielsen, Burt Reynolds, and the kid is Mickey Dolenz from The Monkees! They don't do TV like this anymore.
Stump the King - The Simpsons
I took my kids to see The Simpsons Movie this weekend. While it was their first time seeing the film, it was my second and I still enjoyed it quite a bit simply because it's a funny movie.
Because I have kids, I often go see a lot of crappy animated films based on cartoons. I've seen, Rugrats Go Wild, The Wild Thornberrys Movie and The Spongebob Squarepants Movie among others. For the most part, I enjoyed these films but they were little more than a longer version of the TV show. The Simpsons Movie, however, is much more
Ten great shows that were canceled in their first seasons
Welcome to TV Squad Lists (formerly 'The Five'), a feature where each blogger has a chance to list his or her own rundown of things in television that stand out from the rest, both good and bad.
No matter how much TV I watch, I can't seem to get over the first rule of television programming; if it doesn't get the numbers, it doesn't get renewed. I have watched many a beloved show get yanked from the schedule due to low ratings, even though critics and fans alike all raved about it.
Here are some examples of shows that were too good for the small screen.
The potential for greatness was here, sadly Fox didn't promote the show and nobody watched. I was lucky enough to watch the entire season on and finally get answers to some really nagging questions.I also got see favorites like Mark Valley & Dana Delaney really chew the scenery.
The Bob Newhart Show (the variety show on NBC)
This show won a Peabody award, but was clearly ahead of its time. It's pretty hard to find these days, but Tv icons like Ken Berry and Joe Flynn were regulars and the comedy was superb.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Back in the spring of 2003, Steve Jetton couldn't believe what he was reading about the august New York Times.
"I was shocked," said Jetton, an assistant managing editor at the Houston Chronicle, recalling the Times' Jayson Blair scandal. "I had thought their standards were among the best."
If you need reminding, Blair was a young reporter who shook the media when it was discovered that his fabricated stories had found their way into the New York Times. In a remarkable chain of events, the Times published an unprecedented 14,420-word explanation (by its count) on May 11, 2003, with Executive Editor Howell Raines and Managing Editor Gerald Boyd leaving in its wake.
Fair or not, Arthur Sulzberger Jr.'s New York Times NYT, +0.51% became the poster child for everything that was wrong about journalism, specifically its arrogance, its ethical lapses and its apparent inability to police itself.
"I think it happened at a difficult time in New York Times history, but looking back, it challenged all of us, all writers and editors, to remind ourselves that the core of our work is to always ask one more question and to be skeptical about stories -- and writers! -- that are just too good to be true," said Salon Editor Joan Walsh.
Wide reverberations
In the five years since the Blair scandal, all kinds of media organizations have been working harder to protect themselves from a similar situation.
Media Ethics
Five years after the Jayson Blair scandal rocked the media establishment, Jon Friedman asks some experts whether the industry's ethics have gotten better or worse. (May 7)
To understand the state of media ethics today, I asked some thoughtful observers to weigh in with their observations, and they replied via email.
New Yorker media critic Ken Auletta sees mixed results: "I suspect that serious felons like Blair have been deterred. But cheating and cutting corners has not been. Declining circulation, falling advertising revenues, and the swooning stock value of traditional news organizations, coupled with expanding consumer choices, prompts slashed newsroom budgets.
"This leaves fewer editors and fact checkers to police newsrooms. Worse, with business declining, the folks who sign our checks push for more sensational stories, more conflict, more sharp opinion -- anything -- to lift their news stories from the clutter. The business culture imposes itself on the journalistic culture. In the contest between the two cultures, business usually triumphs," Auletta wrote.
Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, pointed out: "The apprenticeship system that was once the primary boot camp of journalism in which young reporters are schooled on the obit desk and the police beat on the basics of accuracy has eroded over the years due to financial pressures."
"I think the print media's credibility issues have been largely overwhelmed by its economic issues," noted Jacob Weisberg, editor of the Washington Post's WPO Slate.
Greg Mitchell, the editor of Editor & Publisher, posited: "Since the Jayson Blair case broke, many more, although still not enough, newspapers have done or some of these things: 1) expanded their corrections sections; 2) utilized plagiarism-checking programs; 3) formalized their ethics policies; 4) been more forthright in owning up to certain issues, either via an editor's column or an ombudsman."
Added Alicia Shepard, ombudsman for National Public Radio: "Because of the Internet, media ethics have definitely improved in the last five years. If a reporter or a news organization goes over the line, someone -- a source, a media critic, a member of the public, a disgruntled listener -- makes sure that a blatant ethical lapse gets noticed and corrected."
Closer to home
Back at the Times, the Blair debacle wasn't the only blow to its image. Critics also blasted the paper when Judith Miller, one of its top reporters, made a case for the existence of weapons of mass destruction. Her reports, later widely discredited, helped the U.S. government build a case to invade Iraq.

This is a flat brim style hat. You could shape it but it would result in a lumpy look above the embroidery on the crown of your head. I've done it with a flat brim style hat before. It depends on how "clean" you want it to look.

In 1942, Stan Hiller's employees were 14- and 15-year-old kids. They were the production line of a $100,000 business, making gas-engine-powered toy race cars out of a barn behind his parents' Berkeley home. Nation's Business magazine called him the "Henry Ford of the Spindizzies." He was 17.
Before leaving his teens, the inventor-entrepreneur was in Time and Life, and many other magazines that reveled in boy-genius stories.
In those days, as in the last years of his six-decade career, Stanley Hiller was all business, intensely focused, and consumed by the vision thing. Pageant magazine observed in 1946: "He is so utterly humorless that he never makes a joke and looks bewildered when anyone else does."
Yet the young Hiller came to be adored by people who worked under his scrawny wings. This week, Almanac reporter Marion Softky, who'd written about Hiller in the past, mused: "It's a wonder how such a nice guy achieved so much in that tough business world."
After a half-century of working with him, my guess is Marion's question contains an answer: It was his palpable respect for people and their ideas that motivated so many to perform for him.
As hundreds of former employees and cohorts will agree, Stan Hiller's life debunks the adage about nice guys finishing last. If he were here today, he'd warn his old PR man about overstatement. Sorry, boss; I did it again.
Bill McSherry, a former Woodside councilman, and the man who diagnosed the potential of companies Hiller sought to turn around, said when he heard of his buddy's death April 20: "Stan taught me how to live with possibility — something I just would not have learned that well on my own."
In Hiller's enterprises — from Hiller Aircraft Corp. in Palo Alto during the 1950s and 1960s, to his corporate turnaround projects in the 1990s — we Hillerites acquired our vision of what American enterprise can be. It's governed my own career.
Stan impressed on us the dangers of corporate greed. He was an early opponent of board chairmen and CEOs being the same person, and of what he called the "feudal system at the top." He once told me as he drove at his characteristic terrifying speeds to Dulles airport: "If the country can't trust corporate managements to respect and give back to the system, then the market system won't work, and there'll be a period of precipitous socialistic legislation." He would have hated that.
Like father
Stanley Hiller Jr. was born in 1924 in Berkeley to Stanley and Opal. Dad was an engineer and dedicated inventor, building and flying his own airplane in 1910 at age 20. When son Stanley was asked by a reporter years later how he had achieved so much in so few years, the 23-year-old replied: "I was fortunate in my choice of a father."
At age 8, Stanley connected an old family washing machine engine to a home-made buggy frame and was seen driving it recklessly on neighborhood sidewalks. Before he was 10, he learned to fly, sitting in his father's lap in a small cockpit.
Frustrated with building powered model planes that consistently crashed, he applied one of their tiny gas engines to a model racing car. It was a starting point in the boy's career: he was soon selling 250 Comets a month to department stores.
With some help from his father and a draftsman, he invented a die-casting machine based on a cooling process that increased the strength of aluminum castings for the Comet. The result was clearly an improvement in casting state-of-the-art.
Stanley had finished high school at 16 despite these extracurricular activities in his life, and entered the University of California at Berkeley. With America now in World War II, the U.S. military "discovered" the young entrepreneur-inventor — not as a draftee — but as a resource for aluminum fighter-plane parts. Although major aircraft builders hesitated signing subcontracts with a schoolboy, Hiller Industries was soon working seven casting machines in two shifts, generating a $300,000-a-year payroll.
Young Stan had earlier read about Igor Sikorsky's experiments with helicopters, noting that the first vehicles were compromised by inherent instability. "I have ideas about how to correct that," the boy told his father, who in turn suggested he try out the ideas in some hardware.
Stanley's concept seemed to work when he dropped a miniature helicopter from his father's ninth-story office window. Schoolmates cheering below were now witnessing the birth of a new era in aviation.
Making history
As a freshman at Berkeley, he was consumed with visions about vertical flight and preoccupied with his aluminum casting business. Having met at Berkeley the love of his life, Carolyn Balsdon, there was clearly too much going on to continue college. He was out after a year. He married Carolyn when they were both 22. They moved into their current Atherton home in 1951.
Teaming with a draftsman, a welder and an auto mechanic, 17-year-old Stanley set about designing and building a full-scale helicopter. The design was discouraged at first by Army officials to whom he showed it. Higher authorities in Washington, D.C., however, not only permitted his proposed XH-44 helicopter to be finished, but granted Stanley a temporary deferment from World War II's draft.
On the flight back to California, he found he was seated across the aisle from the famed Charles Lindbergh. They spoke only briefly, but young Hiller felt it was a good omen.
In 1944, Stan had completed the first successful flight of a helicopter in the western United States. He flew his yellow fabric-covered contraption himself, although he had never flown a helicopter nor seen one fly.
Later, in August of that year, Hiller demonstrated the XH-44 at San Francisco's Marina Green, where a plaque today commemorates the 20-year-old's historic flight. The event propelled him into international headlines. He became the youngest person ever to receive the coveted Fawcett Aviation Award for major contributions to the advancement of aviation.
Eventually, the little co-axial XH-44 "Hiller-Copter" would become a permanent exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum.
Hiller 360
Now Hiller's goal was no less than a new age of commercial vertical flight, starting hopefully with the Hiller "Commuter" helicopter. Soon his single-rotor-plus-tailrotor configuration achieved remarkable stability with a simple and direct parts arrangement of his design that recaptured the attention of the aviation world.
It was upon this design platform that began the Hiller ascendance to one of the few full-production helicopter companies in the world. The "Hiller 360" was the third helicopter qualified by the Civil Aeronautics Administration in U.S. history.
The stable reliability of the 360 in commercial utility jobs resulted in the helicopter's recruitment as a medical evacuation vehicle in the French Indochinese war starting in 1949. The UH12-360 became the first light helicopter applied to that task under jungle warfare conditions.
When the Korean Conflict broke out in 1950, the U.S. Army visited upon Hiller a sudden onslaught of Army orders and in months, Hiller Aircraft was delivering a helicopter each day for the Korean battlefronts.
But Hiller's prolific contribution to vertical flight technology is what came to differentiate the company in succeeding years.
While happily buying into the Army H-23 series as the first helicopter of any type to be approved to fly 1,000 hours between overhauls, military services were coming to depend on Hiller staff to convert desires into successful flying hardware.
American military planners had learned in Korea that its troops were at a disadvantage in guerrilla warfare, and would need specialized air vehicles to gain mobility and stealth. Hiller saw in it a market that would elevate the company to be an essential source of tactical solutions.
By 1951 Hiller was flying a two-place "Hornet" powered by ramjets in rotor-blade tips.
Another innovation — the Hiller "Flying Platform" — put a pilot on a platform above ducted propellers, giving him the power to climb straight up, hover and dart. The pilot simply leaned in the direction he wanted to go, freeing both arms to fire a rifle or take photographs of ground emplacements.
In 1954, an evaluation fleet of Hiller XROE-1 one-man foldable "Rotorcycles" was flying for the services in weather given a wide berth by full-grown helicopters.
In 1956 Hiller chose a daring step for his Palo Alto company: development of a high-speed vertical takeoff transport turboprop airplane. Given its "operate anywhere" capability by a tilting wing and engine package, the plane would fly at four times the speed of helicopters and deposit troops and equipment into battlefields.
The test bed for this transport — Hiller's X-18 — was made of pirated engines and fuselage parts, and was at times scary as hell, but the 17-ton plane managed to complete test flights at Edwards Air Force Base in 1959-60, and justify production of an evaluation fleet of Air Force tilt-wing XC-142 transports by the consortium of Hiller, Chance-Vought and Ryan.
Challenged in jungle and aircraft carrier tests, the XC-142 made the point — as did all Hiller's experimental hardware surprises: they did what they were supposed to do, without the accidents that often characterize new concepts. It was the cut-and-try period of vertical flight aviation, characterized by predictions of things to come.
There were only a few companies willing to cope with that uncertainty. Hiller thrived on it.
Back from the future
Predictive of his oncoming career as a corporate turnaround specialist, Stanley Hiller was asked in the mid-1960s when he was president of the U.S. Army Aviation Association, to describe how he managed people to perform in that environment of possibility.
Hiller's "Art of Looking Backward from the Future" eschewed the common way of advancing technology based on the rate of existing progress. His technique was to choose — for any technology — the ideal future goal, and from that goal draw a performance timeline back to the present. Establishing individual roles in the timeline embodied Hiller's management technique.
"That way," he was fond of saying, "each person owns the plan."
In 1968, merging Hiller Aircraft into what became Fairchild Hiller Corp., Stan Hiller left aviation to open the Hiller Group. Its purpose was to bring together his associate managers and directors to revitalize companies with large asset bases not being employed effectively.
Asked if he was entering the venture capital field, Hiller replied: "We roll up our sleeves and get into the companies, so we are not passive investors. I become chairman or CEO, and don't take any money until the corporate patient has a turnaround, and its shareholders realize promised returns."
Following this singularly personal approach, and backed by a reservoir of strong managers eager to participate in such non-hostile corporate rebuilds, the Hiller Group launched a 20-year progression of spectacular turnarounds, among them mini-conglomerate G.W. Murphy Industries and Reed Tool Co.
Bekins — the nation's largest moving and storage company — was rebuilt, reversing 20 years of decline. Later, energy giant Baker International was redirected into a strategic combination with its arch-rival Hughes Tool Co.
One of Stan Hiller's most successful turnarounds came near the end of his career. In his 60s when most people think retirement, he persuaded Borg-Warner's directors to spin off its unprofitable York International, one of the world's largest air conditioning firms, which he took charge of as CEO.
"The challenges are intimidating," Business Week reported at the outset. Borg-Warner Vice President Donald Trauscht said: "I sincerely doubt we would be doing this with anybody else. ... In all my years in business ... I've never run into anyone like Stan."
A year after Hiller took the helm of the floundering company he affectionately called "Yorkie," the company posted a five-fold increase in profits, a 130 percent rise in stock price, and a stable employment.
Through my years with Stan, I came to realize he was never preoccupied by a particular industry or product, even though he always seemed to be. He once startled a reporter saying he hadn't even cared that much about aviation. He just saw it as a new opportunity in those early days.
That might shock former Hiller Aircraft employees who cherished their nearly 40 years of annual reunions after Hiller closed in Palo Alto.
What he loved, I concluded, wasn't the helicopters. He loved the people. They were his family.
In his 78th year, Stanley Hiller was awarded Smithsonian's 2002 National Air and Space Museum Trophy for Lifetime Achievement: a "distinguished career as a leader in aviation innovation and excellence."
That year also, his aviation community in California honored his lifelong contribution to the progress of aviation with its Medal of Achievement, presented by the San Francisco Aeronautical Society.
The late Bill Bronson, writer and founder of the environmentalist publication California Tomorrow, and a passionate liberal who was once a publication manager for Hiller Aircraft, knew his former boss was a philosophical conservative. But near the end of his own life, Bronson asked me: "How is Stan Hiller? I adored that man!"
Memorial service at aviation museum
A memorial service for Stanley Hiller Jr. of Atherton, who died April 20 at age 81 from complications of Alzheimer's disease, will be held at the Hiller Aviation Museum at 1 p.m. Friday, May 5.
The museum, which the helicopter pioneer founded in 1998, is at the San Carlos Airport at 601 Skyway Road.
Mr. Hiller considered his investment in the museum and its affiliated aviation research institute as his contribution to the community that nurtured his own success, says longtime associate John Straubel.
"Exhibited there are the often unheralded achievements in aviation technology by Americans of the West, some even before the Wright brothers," said Mr. Straubel. "The museum and institute also embodies Mr. Hiller's interest in transportation's future."

Jayalalithaa denies violating model code of conduct
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalithaa Tuesday denied announcing any new scheme during her Nov 28 campaign for her party candidate for the Dec 4 Yercaud by-election.
"It is vehemently denied that any announcement of new schemes was made while I was campaigning for the AIADMK party candidate Nov 28 in Yercaud constituency," Jayalalithaa told the Election Commission in her reply to its notice.
She also told the commission her name was misspelt in the notice issued to her. The commission spelt her name as Jayalalitha whereas it should be Jayalalithaa.
The Election Commission Dec 2 issued her a notice seeking her explanation about a complaint by the DMK on alleged violation of the model code of conduct during the poll campaign.
In its notice, the commission said her campaign speech was in the nature of alluding to different social and infrastructural requirements needed for Yercaud that had been brought to her notice.
The commission said Jayalalithaa concluded her speech promising to provide whatever is required for the development of the area.
According to the commission, the conjunctive reference to the requirements of the area as brought to Jayalalithaa's notice and her assurance of the government meeting the developmental requirements of the area was prima facie found to be in the nature of making a promise in poll-bound Yercaud.
Responding to that charge, Jayalalithaa said: "I made a general statement that whatever is required for the uplift of the people in the area would be provided. It would not be correct to link the unrelated general statement with the requirements brought to my notice."
"I did not promise that any specific scheme would be implemented. I emphatically deny I made any specific promise of providing any one of the requirements brought to my notice," she added.

As already noted, a true Sazerac would use rye, not bourbon, and would also use absinthe (which thank goodness is legal again), not Pernod or Herbsainte. That being said, I actually like bourbon better than rye anyway :)flag if inappropriate
I used Sazerac Rye instead of bourbon and Absente instead of Pernod. Delicious, with a heavenly aroma. I'll definitely make it againflag if inappropriate
This is a good recipe but being from New Orleans would recommend Rye instead of bourbon....original drink was made with french brandy but Mr Peychaud and his partner later changed it to rye...I have a fondness for Makers Mark if you wanted to use bourbon...couldn't wrong with Makersflag if inappropriate

Prince William and Kate Middleton Move Into Kensington Palace 2011-07-19 11:10:24
Prince William and Kate Middleton Move Into Their Relatively Normal Newlywed Digs
Will and Kate will still spend more time in Wales, where William works as a helicopter pilot. After getting settled in London last week, they reportedly headed back to North Wales to enjoy a movie date night; the couple who had the wedding of the year apparently saw the movie Bridesmaids. After their jam-packed North American tour, they're keeping a low profile, and Kate will likely join William, the queen, and the rest of her royal family in-laws for the annual vacation in Scotland.
Things won't slow down for too long. Following the success of their Canada and California tour, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are set to become British business ambassadors. Duties will include more overseas tours aimed at promoting UK companies and business interests in strategic countries abroad. Perhaps that means they'll head back to the USA soon!
Once William and Kate begin to focus on more official duties in London — and perhaps once they start a family — they'll upgrade to a larger space in Kensington Palace.
