"As I'm getting older, chip up on my shoulder…" is the opening line from Mac DeMarco's second full-length LP Salad Days, the follow up to 2012's lauded Mac DeMarco 2. Amongst that familiar croon and lilting guitar, that initial line from the title track sets the tone for an LP of a maturing singer/songwriter/producer. Someone strangely self-aware of the positives and negatives of their current situation at the ripe old age of 23.
Written and recorded around a relentless touring schedule, Salad Days gives the listener a very personal insight into what it's all about to be Mac amidst the craziness of a rising career in a very public format. The lead single, Passing Out Pieces, set to huge overdriven organ chords, contains lines like "…never been reluctant to share, passing out pieces of me…" Clearly, this isn't the same record that breezily gave us Dreamin and Ode to Viceroy, but the result of what comes from their success. Chamber of Reflection, a track featuring icy synth stabs and soulful crooning, wouldn't be out of place on a fantasy Shuggie Otis and Prince collaboration. Standout tracks like these show Mac's widening sound, whether insights into future directions or even just welcome one-off forays into new territory.
Still, this is musically, lyrically and melodically good old Mac DeMarco, through and through. The crisp John Lennon/Phil Spector era homegrown lush production that could have come off Geoff Emerick's mixing board in 1972 with that peculiar Mac touch that's completely right now is still present. Brother, a complete future classic, is Mac at his most soulful and easygoing but with that distinct weirdness and bite that can only come from Mr. DeMarco. Treat Her Better is rife with Mac-isms, heavily chorused slinky lead guitar, swooning vocal melodies, effortless chords that come along only after years of effort, and the other elements seriously lacking in independent music: sentiment and heartfelt sincerity.
We're only in Part 2 1/2 (one EP and two LPs in) of Mac's career. As you read this and as you hear the album on April Fool's Day of this year, he'll probably be on tour, or preparing for one… or maybe already writing new music. A relentless work ethic is something to be admired in today's indie music scene, but when it's of the quality Mac is giving us time and time again, it starts to turn from admiration to awe.

BUZZARDS BAY — Energy ran exceptionally high in the Massachusetts Maritime Academy's gym Thursday afternoon, where hundreds of graduating seniors wearing dress blues mingled with well-known companies such as Raytheon, General Dynamics and General Electric at the school's biannual career fair.
Representatives from over 100 companies and government agencies came from near and far to scout out potential employees. This week's event was the largest in the school's history, according to the organizers.
Andrew Smith, a 22-year-old marine engineering major from Marstons Mills, like most MMA students, expects at least one full-time job offer by his graduation in June. On Thursday, Smith took a lap around the gym and mingled with several company reps, but really has his eye on the Alvin Group at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, he said. Smith was an intern with the group and hopes to land a full-time job there.
"Typically marine engineer majors are only expected to complete one internship. But because I was academically ahead, I took two," Smith said. "(The Alvin Group) was a wonderful internship."
The academy, which enrolls about 1,350 undergraduates in seven niche majors, was recently ranked No. 3 on Forbes Magazine's 2014 list of U.S. public colleges with best return of investment, according to MMA President Adm. Richard Gurnon. Within six months of graduation, nearly 100 percent of MMA students are employed full time, Gurnon said. Many companies will interview and hire students within 24 hours of the career fair, he said.
Maryanne Richards and Marie H. Huhnke, directors of MMA's Career and Professional Services, organize the fall and spring fairs every year.
About 30 percent of graduates are hired by a company that they interned or co-oped with and 20 to 30 percent are hired through connections they made at the career fairs, Richards explained. The rest, she said, usually find jobs through a tight-knit network of alumni.
That's how Rachel Johnson, a 2013 MMA graduate from Chatham, found her job as a safety and environmental protection specialist at G&H Towing. Last year, the Times shadowed Johnson as she walked around the fair searching for a job. This year, she is back again. Only now, Johnson is on the other side of the booth and recruiting for the Galveston, Texas, company.
"I got in touch with an alumni who works at the company," she said. "I interviewed with them in June, was offered the job two hours later, and moved to Texas a month after that."
Johnson is now seeking out more MMA graduates to make the move down South.
The president attributes post-graduate employment success on the academy's STEM curriculum, a regimental system of teaching and uniformity.
"In America, everyone wants to be an individual," Gurnon said. "But companies want to be a team. And students learn that here."
Johnson knew in eighth grade that she would attend MMA and said that she couldn't be happier with her decision. As for living in Texas, that took some adjusting, she said.
"It's growing on me," she explained. "It is definitely much different than the Cape."

Good morning boys and girls,
not as cold.
Re:Bridge traffic increase in yesterdays news, they forgot to mention oil changes at Walmart in the USA, $17.00 bucks includes oil and filter,here at most dealers, around $40.00 to $50.00 plus.You will not do it cheaper yourself.
Jimssm 1/3/2014 7:10:50 AM
Good morning everyone.
I just thought I'd say that before the fighting starts.
Have a good day.
Jimssm 1/3/2014 7:27:41 AM
There is a reason Walmart oil changes are only $17, and it's not because the dealers over here are ripping you off.
..... but if they're able to get fox meat into their five spice donkey meat in China, I'm sure their oil is perfectly fine for your car....and I'm sure those guys making $5/hr really care about the quality of their work...... / sarc off
flyhawk25 1/3/2014 7:47:42 AM
Jimssm...it always amazes me that someone could spend $20K+ for a vehicle and then cut corners on maintenance.Often they will spend $5K on a stereo system for it and then put cheap replacement tires on the vehicle.
Priorities I suppose.
bounder 1/3/2014 7:54:40 AM
I tried a few dealers here and had to remind them that the studs on the wheels needed to be torqued.Walmart did it with no problems and cheaper.
Please tell me that you have nothing in your houses that is not made in China.
Mr. Poster 1/3/2014 7:58:50 AM
How can an oil change in Soo Michigan be that cheap?(I could not get the url mentioned above to open).
Wild Turkey 1/3/2014 7:59:10 AM
I thought I would "get in"before the fireworks begin.
Good morning every one!!
I thought yesterday would be a very slow day, here in The Blue Room.
I thought that everyone,s New Years resolutions would still be in effect and the Posts if any, would be, educational. thought provoking, and occasionally humourous.Boy was I wrong.And to think there was a whole bunch of really good hockey games to watch while this war was unfolding.Allow me to get you started to-day.
I see it as an attention getter.People are talking about it and that is a good thing.As some posters suggested, we can,t continue on as we are.
In the 70's there was an alarming decline in the number of bald eagles, and peregrine falcons.Somebody figured out that D.D.T. was the cause of the problem---so they banned this poison, and the Big birds have since made a remarkable comeback.By discussing problems, solutions are found.
I would like to remind people on here that your posts are viewed all over the world.Do we want to come across as a bunch of bozos?
I would like to appoint Spelly as the site monitor.Spelly, at the end of the day, you should announce the best, and worst posts of the day.We will soon see a return to a smorgasbord of witty, thought provoking, and interesting posts.
Thank you all for reading this ,and on your mark, get set, GO!!!!!
bounder 1/3/2014 8:07:20 AM
They buy oil filters by the case and oil by the barrel, quantity is the key word here, it always amazes me how others put people down.
Grump 1/3/2014 8:11:28 AM
Good morning everyone, still seems a tad cool out there to me. A good article on this site about a dozen MPs who should be watched this year. Sort of tells you where Harper will likely be. Have a great day everyone.

SQ's garage, located in town, offers you an oil change, plus a basic checkup of your vehicle, few sarcastic smiles, all while you enjoy the ST official chef road kill of the day, fox soup and raccoon escabeche.
All that, not for five but not much above it, of course, all is about how deep your pockets are you willing to go.
Grump 1/3/2014 8:36:38 AM
Morning Bobby, I'm with you there. When my truck quit several months ago I sent it up to SQ but soon realized I had left several key rings in the truck that I needed. Within an hour he had diagnosed the problem, ordered the part and installed it. Most mechanics would still be looking for it. It was a small circuit board hidden up on the frame that controlled the pump in the gas tank. Great service, very reasonable prices. That said even my cast iron gut can't handle the road kill specials. lol
redranger 1/3/2014 9:01:26 AM
Where is SQ's garage.
flyhawk25 1/3/2014 9:21:41 AM
The 'bargain hunters' will never agree with us but I leave my money here with local merchants over chains when possible.
By his own admission SQ will never get rich owning a two bay shop. But he controls his own destiny and pays taxes and lives here.
I pay more for my televisions and jewelry at local shops and get excellent service.I buy much of my food at small local stores and know the owners.
None of them is getting rich but they add to the SSM tapestry.I made a living from tax dollars here and feel I owe it to locals to support them.

"Get your flu shot, experts suggest, as spike in H1N1 cases expected to spread"
CTV News
OK, I was beginning to get a little worried that we would have to go get the H1N1 flu virus immunization shot (which really hurt my arm in 2009) so I decided to call the Algoma Health Unit.
They advised me that the H1N1 is covered with the regular flu shot I already received.
theprotector 1/3/2014 9:49:38 AM
yeah they added it to the shot after the last outbreak from what I understand.
Wisenheimer 1/3/2014 10:05:43 AM
Oil Change
1. Have evil Wally U.S. guy raise car.
2. He will remove oil and filter.
3. He will replace oil and filter with same products that Goober uses over here.
4.You pay $20 as opposed to $50 at local dealership, whose "technician" forgets to put oil cap back on.
Rejoice that you live in a border town that provides "choice" that libs are so fond of.
bounder 1/3/2014 10:14:26 AM
Had an oil change here once and they drained the transmission and put twice as much oil in the motor. I wasn't happy.
Biff's Cheap Oil Change: leaking brake hose and you're not advised. Muffler clamp rotten,; who cares. Any other issues, you're on your own.
Mechanic Supervised Oil Change: minor service call. Other mechanical issues noted or, if minor enough, addressed by the mechanic.
I've experienced both. Sometimes, time is a factor. Speedy Lube (emphasis on speedy)...usually done by a 'kid', but quick and cheap. No other diagnosis' given. Done in a mechanics shop, extras provided.
Quality of oil is a factor. Even off the shelf at Canadian Tire, oil has various prices, according to the quality of the oil. Just because it meets minimum standards, doesn't equate to equal quality.
flyhawk25 1/3/2014 10:31:58 AM
To all the cross border shoppers - enjoy your experience.
Just don't complain about tax rates and hospital wait times.You lost the right to bitch when you went south for bargains.
And that goes double for all those who proudly never vote.
That's all your choice. Now live with the consequences.
old-cat33 1/3/2014 10:35:04 AM
How long have them stupid flu shots been around? Any way one year I skipped my shot because I was to busy and man oh man did I get sick!!
So get your shot and if you do get sick your not out of comission that long.

Trust me also. That ancient book was written for our era.
Grump 1/3/2014 11:06:54 AM
Old-cat 33 Yes I can relate to that. About a dozen years ago I was a tough guy (in my mind lol) and didn't take flu shots. I got it good, couldn't keep anything down, was in bed for two weeks either freezing or with the sweat pouring out of me. This not so tough guy takes his shots faithfully now and other that a touch of a cold once or twice hasn't been sick since. Well I guess there is no point getting older without trying to get a little brighter. Tough work though.
66cherokee 1/3/2014 11:07:15 AM
We occasionally, and very occasionally go across the border to shop. I love their dairy. It reminds me of the milk I used to drink growing up. You also really have to know your prices, and let me tell you there are lots that are more or even the same cost, plus you have to convert your money into US funds. You are paying about 9 to 10 cents on the dollar. I shop locally as much as possible. Also, oil change is done at home. Tires bought locally, you just have to look around for a good price, and of course good tires. There will never be a made in "china" tire on our vehicles. When shopping I look for made in Canada or USA, and it is hard to find. They may be a little more expensive, but it keeps a Canadian working. Most things are made in China and you get what you pay for. Maybe a year's worth of wear.
soowat 1/3/2014 11:24:00 AM

Speaking of dairy, did you know that Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese doesn't even contain cream?
You have to get cream cheese in the good ol' USA where the first two ingredients are milk and cream.
I will not be eating any of the Canadian cream cheese anytime soon. It's made with 'milk ingredients' imported from Australia or New Zealand....whichever is the cheapest.
Chemical Soup!

Grump: Did the same thing.Tried to be be the big wig and got so sick I think that I gave myself a hernia throwing up! (lesson learnt) I play hockey with doctors and everybody else in the medical field and they all say to get the flu shot. Now in some medical professions I think it's mandatory to get your shot?

Are you saying it was written only for our era and none of those that have gone before?
northernmale 1/3/2014 12:36:24 PM
I try to by local and shop here most of the time. If I decide to go over the river for dinner I will fill up with gas and pick up some dairy products.Hell would Freeze over before I ever purchased a product made by our local dairy. I will never give a cent I make to them. And I wonder how anyone that reads anything in the news would. But that is just my own thoughts.

Looking at the poll on the home page-wasn't the Costa Concordia in January 2012? It was raised and moved in Sept 2013, but the accident surely isn't the news story of the past year!

@northernmale, information only, no argument intended, just wondered why you hate Lock City so much???
flyhawk25 1/3/2014 2:07:48 PM
northernmale...I know the argument re. Lock City.
I choose to buy their products because they are local and do many good things in our community.
Just Curious 1/3/2014 2:20:10 PM
That is what I was wondering about too, Fly. I don't give a damn what Vic does in his own life(we all have done things we shouldn't), he employs lots of local people and supports a lot of local things. Without his support you might as well just light a candle at the waterfront fireworks display. Boycotting Lock City Dairies is kinda like kicking yourself in the gonads, you are only hurting yourself. At least his milk is from somewhere in the north, unlike the rest that comes from southern Ontario...
Jimssm 1/3/2014 2:25:14 PM
.... so you know all about Vic.
What do you know about the owner(s) of the dairy producing your American milk ?

If you don't like a certain individual that's up to you. However I happen to know first hand the dollars Lock City puts back into the Soo ..! I can say with some certainty a lot more than you ..!!

At my age I enjoy a lot of free stuff that I couldn't possibly afford south of the ditch. A friend of mine has a relative south of the ditch in big trouble now that up here is totally covered. Shop over the river all you want but don't complain about ANYTHING on this side, you don't have the right...
Wisenheimer 1/3/2014 3:41:15 PM
I just complained about the guy over here leaving my oil cap off. Is that ok ??
Oh and charging me 50 bucks for the privilege.
Is it ok if I go to Florida for a while to get away from this global warming thingy ?
Just Curious 1/3/2014 5:01:39 PM
Wisen, that kind of crap can and will happen wherever you shop. Friend of mine blew an engine 'cause the underneath guy didn't put the plug back in.. it's all covered by insurance on this side but you are never sure over there. As a Canadian you can't sue somebody over there as you aren't a citizen.. Don't know where you work but I'm sure your paycheque is made out in Canada and at the end of your days you will be whining to get all the benefits we get here that americans don't get and would get really pissed off if they deducted all the money you spent over the river in your life. One day it will come back to bite you in the ass and you won't stop whining about the way the Government is treating you. Shop away.. In the end you get no bargains and don't deserve any..
I have been a cross-border shopper, usually for diesel fuel and lunch once a week. Out of country health insurance has become really expensive for me recently so I stay in Ontario now. A insurance agent was telling me about a local shopper who didn't have "out of country" insurance and was taken to hospital (car accident) in Soo, MI, and now has a $77,000.00 medical expense that may result in loss of her home. This sort of cuts into any savings there may be.
Bobby Nerves 1/3/2014 5:31:27 PM
Wisenheimer, yes you can go to Florida, but pray for a good health, because you're gonna be farting in technicolor should you have a health issue to be solved there.
Not that I'm wishing you any bad, but you know, things happens, black ice... slide on the shoulder... a DUI; that's something you have no control over and it's not that you may drive erratically or DUI, but the other drivers, over which you have no control.

As I was listening to the weather tonight for Toronto and the east coast, it reminded me of the year 1970/71 with record snow, and does anyone remember the year the Sault got 5 feet of snow in a week-end. Wow, that was something. As I listened, it brought me back to the years I lived in Wawa. It was always cold, snowing lots, winds, but you just dressed for it. I mean it Northern Ontario, and I love it.

I used to have a house on 2nd Ave and was snowed in for the best part of a week,walked out to 2nd line to pick up a ride to work at Soo Foundry(on Drive-in road,not downtown where they started)..

Wisen, I remember the year well. Cold snap started Dec 26 '94 Boxing Day and didn't let up until Feb 14 '95 Valentine's Day. I had a bad knee, weather related, in tandem. Didn't stop us though. When the high was predicted to be anything more than -29 we considered it to be balmy and headed out to the woodlot on weekends. That work kept us warm.

SA could face 'Arab Spring'Comment on this story
Cape Town - The window of opportunity to deal with the crisis of poverty and inequality will not last forever, UCT acting Pro-Vice Chancellor Francis Wilson warned on Monday.
Addressing the Cape Town Press Club before a major conference on poverty alleviation at UCT next week, Wilson said urgent action was needed to turn "the big ship" of poverty around.
"Nearly 20 years after democracy, we haven't done a lot about either widespread poverty or deep inequality. Income inequality has got worse, not better. The debate in South Africa seems to revolve around who is going to be the next president, and not the pressing issues facing the country," Wilson said. "What matters now is action and it is urgent."
UCT Vice Chancellor Dr Max Price, told the press club, that SA could expect "Arab Spring" uprisings if it did not address the crisis.
Price said particular attention must be paid to young black males, who comprised "a boiling cauldron" of discontent.
Wilson, who was founding director of the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit at UCT, said universities had an important role to play in tackling the challenge of poverty and inequality.
He said the National Planning Commission, under National Planning Minister Trevor Manuel, had asked UCT to "do some serious thinking about strategies to overcome poverty and inequality".
"We have been working very hard to bring together academics from 19 universities around the country, who have submitted well over 300 papers. In addition, we have gone out of our way to draw in some of the very good NGOs that are working at the coalface of education, rural development, health and a number of other sectors to share what they are doing."
Manuel will open the conference, which is entitled "Strategies to Overcome Poverty and Inequality: Towards Carnegie III".

Accused tree-poisoner Harvey Updyke has rejected a plea deal that would have sent him to prison for 13 years and -- maybe more importantly where Updyke is concerned -- prohibited him from ever attending another Alabama sporting event.
ESPN's Mark Schlabach reported Friday that Updyke declined the plea deal "earlier this month." Updyke is scheduled to go to trial for poisoning Auburn's beloved Toomer's Corner oak trees in the Lee County (Ala.) Circuit Court March 5, but current Updyke attorney Everett Wess has requested a delay in the trial, a change of venue, and a recusal from the presiding judge.
Wess is asking that the trial be moved out of Auburn and that judge Jacob Walker III step down over his participation in an Auburn season ticket pool.
Updyke was indicted last May on two felony counts of criminal mischief, two misdemeanor counts of desecrating a venerable object and two more felony counts of an Alabama law that prohibits vandalizing or stealing any property on or from an animal or crop facility. Updyke could face as much as 42 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
Though Updyke has maintained his innocence, he has also admitted to being "Al from Dadeville," the Paul Finebaum radio show caller who boasted he had poisoned the oaks in late December 2010. Updyke has since called into the show multiple times to apologize for his actions, leading to a break with his fourth attorney, Glennon Threatt.
The oaks are not expected to survive, forcing Auburn to search for options to keep the traditional rolling of Toomer's Corner intact. The most likely approach, as recommended this week by the Committee to Determine the Future of Rolling Toomer's Corner, will be for the oaks to be replaced by similar-sized trees once the chosen saplings have grown large enough, and for a temporary object or objects -- like some kind of wire structure -- to be used as a temporary solution until the trees are ready.

Every day , I wonder
We're we meant forever?
My heartbeat is still beating strong
By your side, I want to belong
Why have you decided to leave?
I see through your smile, you are afraid to grieve
It is more difficult than you had uttered
You are leaving yourself ruptured
I am longing for your protecting hold
This tingle, it will never grow old
I am seeking who I was once for you
Just to hear your murmur, I love you
Enveloping me is darkness
My surroundings have become loneliness
Knowing that the thunder hits after the rain
Will I ever make it through this pain?
I see you once again
Showing my heartbreak, I refrain
Your lips find a way to mine
Towards you, I recline
All my fears are vanished
For a few moments, my smile has been re-established
My tears have been forgotten
Because for a brief instant, it is me you wanted

Surfacer+ Cropping Up on DSiWare Next Week
Posted by Trevor Chan
Crossbreeding skill with strategy
French developer Lexis Numérique has announced that it will be bringing a version of its iPhone game Surfacer to the DSiWare download service.
Players must create and control the size of flowers by using the stylus and use them to fill up the screen. Enemies will appear from both sides of the screen and gamers must avoid them by using special combos and prevent the marbles from coming into contact with the flowers before they are fully formed.
Surfacer+ is due for release on 10th January in North America, and 14th January in Europe. Pricing has yet to be confirmed.
To check out a trailer for the game, head over to the official game website.

It has been more than 25 hours since those horrible moments transpired and we've watched lots of national news folks hash and rehash all of those horrible moments and interview everyone they could find who would talk to them.
Our question is - in all those news briefs, interviews, etc. - we haven't heard one question that should be asked: "Why wasn't there more security folks going through back packs, ice chests, purses, etc., before and during the marathon?"
We know the answer. Because there are fools who are very proud to tell us that they are Congressmen/women and Senators who know what is good for us and who know better than the entire alphabet soup of law enforcement people on where they need to spend our money.
Just how do these fools tell all of us?. There is a one word answer: Sequesters!
That's right folks. Remember January, February and March of 2013? Remember the Home Land Security folks telling us that because of sequesters they could not guarantee our nations security? Remember all the other "alphabet soup" law enforcement agencies telling us the same thing?
Remember the Border Patrol folks telling us that due to sequesters they were either laying off 300-plus agents?
We do! Thank you, Mr/Mrs/Miss Congressman/woman and Senators for protecting us (not), and spending our money on your health insurance, your vacations, your business dinners, your paychecks, etc. It makes us truly sick seeing our tax dollars hard at work.
Diana and Allen Storm, Luna County

When most of New Jersey was without electricity, Gov. Christie urged power companies to "throw out their playbooks" and be creative in addressing the worst storm in state history. Many New Jersey families are still dealing with the storm and are displaced from their homes. The public and private sectors need to throw out their playbooks, too, and find innovative ways to use what they have to provide shelter and restore normalcy to these families' lives.
FEMA will be a help, but not the solution. FEMA will reimburse homeowners only up to $200,000 for the uninsured loss of their principal residence and up to $40,000 for the uninsured loss of the contents. The agency anticipates making 1,200 rental resources available to New Jersey residents, but 118,000 people in New York and New Jersey were seeking FEMA relief as of Nov. 7.
Furthermore, FEMA trailers can have no place in New Jersey's post-Sandy relief efforts. It's not just the trailers - it's the tangled web of above-ground PVC piping and conduit required to connect them to water, sewer and electric, just so they can be habitable for more than a few days. No one in New Jersey is prepared to embrace a sea of temporary trailer parks at or near the Jersey Shore.
Rebuilding lost and damaged homes and apartments will take time and money. Recognizing the timetable associated with insurance payments and FEMA supplements, and even with prompt demolition and site preparation (unlikely under present circumstances), stick-building even a small home will take months.
Housing solutions are available and should be divided among instant, immediate and intermediate remedies. An instant solution can be found at Fort Monmouth, where existing post housing will soon be able to accommodate up to 400 to 500 families. This could end up being an unexpectedly important asset to relief efforts for the entire Jersey Shore.
A prompt and potentially immediate option might be found in the backlogged inventory of for-sale homes. The Ocean County Board of Realtors is leading the way in this regard. It has updated its website to reflect the need for emergency housing and instituted a program for matching emergency housing needs with current inventory. The Monmouth and Atlantic boards should follow suit.
Even beyond this measure, the boards need to encourage their members to promptly "scrub" their sale listings for sellers who might be willing to rent for six or more months to a displaced person or family.
Ocean, Monmouth, Middlesex and Mercer counties have a significant number of age-restricted housing communities, many of which have a high inventory of unsold homes and many that permit home rentals. While Realtors could approach sellers to consider rentals within these communities, the age restrictions on the properties will have to be addressed in order for this solution to work.
Affected communities could adopt emergency ordinances permitting age-restricted communities to temporarily relax the age restrictions for a short period, so that rental opportunities for those in need could be created.
If necessary, the Legislature could amend the Municipal Land Use Law, clarifying the basis for such an ordinance. The homeowners associations should be encouraged to follow suit, by adopting temporary changes in their governing rules or bylaws to assist in this regard.
Finding an alternative to building replacement homes is the key to developing a more intermediate housing solution. Modular housing could fit this bill. Modular homes are factory-manufactured units, often built to "green" standards that are delivered to the buyer in a substantially complete form. Modular housing enables substantial savings in construction time and cost, yet still provides homeowners the ability to attain some level of individuality in their new home.
The state Department of Community Affairs can examine space and pre-qualify manufacturers of these housing products. By publishing and maintaining a list of recommended vendors, the state can ensure Sandy victims are not victimized a second time by unscrupulous or unqualified vendors.
New Jerseyans have already demonstrated their resiliency during and immediately following Hurricane Sandy. Now it is time to show our intelligence and creativity as well.

University Lectures
Faculty are invited to bring a scholar, researcher, writer, or artist who is expected to give at least one public lecture and to interact with our students in class or some other forum. The person should be someone who is not a celebrity and does not have an agent, since the average honorarium is in the $400-800 range. In the recent past, typical guests have included colleagues from other institutions or academic alumni. The fund will also pay for travel, entertainment (meals usually), publicity costs and lodging. Typically, the entire cost of a visit will be somewhere between $1,000 and $1,500. Before making a request, please inform your department or program head of your plans. Then submit your request using the form below. Requests are granted on a "first come, first served basis" with the possible restriction, in fairness to all, of a maximum of $1,500 per department/program per year.
- Speakers should spend some time with students and faculty while on campus. This interaction, in addition to the formal presentation, should be at the departmental or program level.
- The University encourages housing to be arranged at Morris House. Call x8781 for reservations and costs.
- The speaker's CV/Resume should be submitted to Marc Conner, email@example.com.
- If the speaker is an alien (resident or non-resident), regardless of current status (e.g. a visiting professor somewhere else), departments or programs must clear the visit well in advance with International Education (x8144) to determine if the lecturer has the visa standing that will allow W&L to pay legally. Funds cannot be paid without such clearance. Consult "Protocol for Sponsors of International Visitors to Campus."
- In any event, payment to noncitizens will most likely be subject to a brief delay because, in many cases, the speaker will have to visit with the office of international education during his or her stay.
After the visit, please scan all receipts and vouchers and send electronically to Marc Conner's office. Disbursement vouchers are available from the Business Office website. Don't forget that we need the speaker's SS#, a completed W-9 form (obtainable from the Business Office), and address before an honorarium check can be cut. Again, this paperwork and information should be obtained in advance of the speaker's arrival.
Please use the following form to submit the request. If you have any questions, please contact Marc Conner, email@example.com, x8418.

Due to the latest TV promotions we are running out of stock soon, as of today we still have "Yacon Syrup" in stock.
Just Read Below to Discover Why.
It is difficult to say enough good things about yacón. Once people learn what yacón can do to promote overall health and trigger significant weight loss they are usually stunned. Yes, yacón is actually THAT AMAZING.
So what is it exactly that makes yacón nothing sort of a weight loss revelation? Yacón is all natural, remarkably effective, boosts weight loss, strengthens the immune system, does not cause blood glucose levels to spike, has almost no calories and is very sweet.
It sounds too good to be true, right? But, quite amazingly, these benefits are very real! Dr. Oz is extremely excited about yacón and a 120-day clinical study has proven both its effectiveness and its safety.
What is Yacón?
Many people have not heard of the yacón, but it is a popular food in South America. The syrup comes from the roots of the yacón plant, which is indigenous to the Andes and was widely eaten by the Incans for thousands of years. Throughout Peru, yacón is a popular food. People love its high levels of nutrition, and it's also well known for its healing abilities.
How Does FOS Benefit You?
Yacón syrup is very sweet and very tasty. Thanks to an indigestible polysaccharide that consists of fructose called fructooligosaccharides or FOS, yacón is also a prebiotic. Prebiotics promote the growth of good, immunity strengthening digestive tract bacteria. Studies have shown that having the right digestive tract bacteria balance can help promote weight loss. (Many don't realize having the wrong balance can actually cause weight gain!)
Here's the bottom line: if you want to lose weight, then one of your first moves should be to boost your digestive tract health.
The 10 Key Benefits of Yacón
When it Comes to Weight Loss, Why Not Use Every Healthy Advantage?
Yacón works remarkably well as a sweetener and can go into almost any recipe that calls for sugar. This means you can easily satisfy your craving for something sweet. At the same time, you will still lose weight. The 2009 study that has Dr. Oz so excited showed that yacón consumption leads to weight loss and a decrease in waist size.
Let's face it; diets often fail because we need to satisfy food cravings. With yacón, satisfying those cravings has never been easier.
Here is Why Yacón is a Dieter's Best Friend
There is nothing like yacón and we have the best on the market. In order to get the maximum benefits, you'll need the highest quality yacón syrup on the market. Quality is everything when it comes to yacón syrup. There is no room for cutting corners.
Chooses Cure Encapsulations Yacón Syrup & Receive These Key Benefits
We firmly stand behind ALL of our premium syrup. Yacón syrup is the safe, natural and amazingly effective way to lose weight. How sure are we that you will be stunned by how well yacón syrup works? We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee!

Chief NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said critical response teams are deployed around the city until more about the explosion is learned. The teams are highly visible patrol units that travel with lights and sirens.

Welcome to the second blog post in our "Choosing Your High School's Musical" series. Our newest series of blog posts is designed to introduce you to some of our shows that we know work in a high school setting. The following shows are some of the newest available for licensing, and are guaranteed to resonate with students and audiences alike! Read on for suggestions on which shows might be a smash hit for your school:
HAIRSPRAY delighted audiences by sweeping them away to 1960′s Baltimore, where the 50′s are out — and change is in the air. Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?
HAIRSPRAY is a delightful selection for high school students! Cast members of varying shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and talents will all have an opportunity to display their individuality and strengths, have a ton of fun, and take away lessons in tolerance and diversity. In addition, the popularity of the recent film version can be leveraged to achieve superb ticket sales. I dare you to find an audience member who doesn't leave the theater singing and dancing along.

WILLY WONKA is a wonderful show, especially for enthusiasts of the wonderful movie. Roald Dahl's timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir comes to life in this stage adaptation of "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory," which features the songs from the classic family film "Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory."
WILLY WONKA is the perfect choice for a school looking to produce a musical the whole family can enjoy together. The legendary songs and characters will be familiar to your students, and the opportunities for classroom and community-linked initiatives are endless — you might bring in a community service effort by having students deliver Wonka candy to elderly residents of a nursing home or have students read Wonka stories to area elementary school classes, perhaps a marketing campaign could revolve around the discovery of a golden ticket or an opportunity for a "behind the scenes" tour, just like in the show!

Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.
THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award-winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.
THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is an awesome choice for a school with a minimal or restricted budget. The show is set within the school gymnasium, and can be recreated using paraphernalia displaying your own school spirit! Costumes are similarly uncomplicated, and many pieces can often be found already hanging in your cast member's closets. This is another show that offers nifty opportunities to get the school and community involved – host your own spelling bee and offer free tickets to the winner, or have a "school spirit" day where audience members may dress wearing campus apparel in exchange for a ticket discount.

It all begins when a die-hard musical-theater fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable, and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room, telling the rambunctious tale of a brazen Broadway starlet trying to find, and keep, her true love.
With a number of featured roles for actors and actresses of varying shapes and sizes, this gem gives every one of your students a chance to shine. In addition, the flexibility in cast size allows you to easily adjust the ensemble to include any and all interested student participants.

CHAMBERSBURG >> Christopher Kenyon pleaded not guilty by reason of self defense Monday morning during the first day of his jury trial at the Franklin County Courthouse. Kenyon is facing two types of aggravated assault charges for allegedly stabbing a man five times during an altercation.
The prosecution presented its entire case in the first day, starting with explanations of the charges. The first type of aggravated assault is causing serious bodily injury, meaning that "it creates a substantial risk of death," said Lauren Sulcove, prosecuting assistant district attorney. The second type of aggravated assault is causing bodily injury with a dangerous weapon. Both require intent to harm another person.
Sulcove addressed the court first, and summarized the case she would be presenting. She said that although defense would argue the stabbing was in self defense, the prosection would prove that it "was not justified. He brought a knife to a fist fight."
Sulcove also said that Kenyon was aware of his guilt, and proved that by putting the knife he used in the trash. She said that Kenyon should be found guilty of both charges of aggravated assault.
Defense attorney Matthew Stewart started his remarks by saying that this would be a "unique trial" because the defense doesn't completely deny the story the prosecution is expecting to show.
"The basic story I'm going to tell you is the same story," Stewart said, but explained that the differences would come in the motivations behind the attack, and who felt more threatened. He said that there were intimidating calls and texts made to Kenyon's phone, that the group sought him out, and that they could be heard threatening his life.
"The difference here today is how you interpret these events," Stewart said. "He was justified, and we're going to claim self defense."
The prosecution started with testimony from the victim, Joseph Tyler Brumfield, 20, Chambersburg, and a 16-year-old female who witnessed the event. They testified that on Jan. 28 they had been together in a vehicle with their friend, Antonio Hadrick, and an unidentified female. Kenyon came up in conversation and became a point of conflict between Hadrick and the second female, and she was taken home. However, Hadrick and Brumfield then texted Kenyon using the 16-year-old female's phone, one of them being confrontational.
Once Kenyon was found, an argument broke out. Then Kenyon allegedly insulted the female, and Brumfield became angry. He punched Kenyon, who fell to the ground, and when Kenyon got back up, he slapped him. It was then that Kenyon attacked Brumfield with the knife, they testified.
There were discrepancies between Brumfield and the female's testimonies, but both agreed that they hadn't had problems with Kenyon before the incident.
Both witnesses said that in Hadrick's earlier argument with the second female, he had gotten physical in the way that he had pulled her from his vehicle when she didn't want to go, and they argued.
Brumfield said that he could tell Hadrick was frustrated with Kenyon, and he was worried they were going to fight. Brumfield decided since he knew Kenyon he would text him to see where he was, and tell him they wanted to talk so they could resolve the issue. At the time, Brumfield was not concerned that there would be a fight, because he was going to be there to settle the situation.
Brumfield said that after he punched Kenyon the first time, he asked him "is this what you really want to do?" and then smacked him because he was mad. He said that when Kenyon attacked him, he thought he was just being hit.
"I saw blood. I couldn't breathe," Brumfield said of his realization that he had been stabbed. He then ran back to his friends who took him to the hospital.
Brumfield was asked to show the scars that his wounds had left on his body. Brumfield removed his shirts, and pointed to a 6- to 8-inch scar from the center of his stomach down to his naval, and five 1- to 2-inch cuts on his chest, stomach and arms. A 1.5 inch wound on his stomach resulted in his bowels being punctured, and the longer scar on his stomach was the result of surgery to remove approximately four inches from his colon to repair the damage. One of the 1-inch stab wounds to his chest resulted in his lung being punctured and a collapsed lung. The others resulted in muscle damage in his left arm.
Brumfield then talked about how his life has changed since the incident, including a 25 pound weight gain, depression and an increased fear of knives. "You can't really prepare yourself for something like this," he said.
Brumfield said he thought he was going to die, and had to focus on breathing and controlling his heart rate while he was taken to the hospital.
The defense asked why Brumfield didn't just call Kenyon to talk, if that's all they wanted to do to resolve the situation.
"I could have seen him and talked to him and extinguished the situation," Brumfield said. "(A call) would have been different."
Brumfield said that he didn't send Kenyon any threatening texts and didn't remember anyone threatening Kenyon during the altercation. The juvenile witness stated that she remembered seeing one text that called Kenyon a name, but felt it had to be Hadrick who sent it. She claimed that Kenyon had called her a name, and that's what caused Brumfield to punch him.
The prosecution finished their presentation of evidence by hearing the testimonies of the three Chambersburg police officers who worked on the case. Patrol officer Matthew Bietsch, Officer Victor Dimoff and Cpl. Darren Helsel either spoke with Kenyon personally or worked on the evidence.
Bietsch testified that when Kenyon first came in, he told Bietsch about his day omitting the incident and later denied any involvement in the incident.
When Kenyon was first brought in, he did not show any signs of injury which was proved by showing his mug shot, which did not show any cuts or bruising from Brumfield. Bietsch testified he had informed Kenyon he could press charges against Brumfield for the fight, but he didn't want to saying that Brumfield would be charged with disorderly conduct and only be fined.
After Kenyon confirmed what had happened between him and Brumfield, he told Bietsch where to find the knife he used. In reviewing Kenyon's written statement from that night, he said he had been "harassed all day" and that he was "supposed to fight Antonio. The prosecution also reviewed Kenyon's testimony from a preliminary hearing held in June, during which Kenyon stated that he wouldn't want to fight Brumfield because he was huge, but later that he brought the knife because he knew he was going to be in a fight.
In cross examination, Stewart asked Bietsch if anyone had ever lied to him in an interview, after clarifying that Brumfield originally said that he only punched Kenyon once before he was stabbed. Bietsch said it was possible, and later said that he believed Kenyon and Brumfield had given statements that were the truth.
Finally, Helsel was asked about where he located the knife used in the attack. Kenyon said he threw it in a trash can in front of a barber shop on the corner of Washington and South Main streets. Helsel found the knife on top of some trash in the can. He was unsure of whether or not the blood had been tested for DNA.
The prosecution then rested its case, and the defense will begin its rebuttal Tuesday. The trial is expected to end after Tuesday's session.

The Difference Between IPv6 and IPv4?
What is Internet Protocol -- IP?
IP (short for Internet Protocol) specifies the technical format of packets and the addressing scheme for computers to communicate over a network. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source.
IP by itself can be compared to something like the postal system. It allows you to address a package and drop it in the system, but there's no direct link between you and the recipient. TCP/IP, on the other hand, establishes a connection between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth for a period of time.
There are currently two version of Internet Protocol (IP): IPv4 and a new version called IPv6. IPv6 is an evolutionary upgrade to the Internet Protocol. IPv6 will coexist with the older IPv4 for some time.

The Boston Red Sox outfield is beginning to resemble an infirmary. Before their game on Sunday Night the Sox placed Ryan Sweeney on the 15-day DL with discomfort in his foot.
Currently the Red Sox are without (all outfielders) Carl Crawford, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jason Repko and Cody Ross. Crawford has missed the entire season.
Ellsbury only played in 7 games before getting injured.
Repko was a replacement for Ellsbury and separated his shoulder making a catch against the wall. He only played 5 games. Ross was having a solid season before fracturing his foot in the middle of May. Continue reading Injury Bug Bites Boston Again

Review: Netfirm's Commerce Pro
- 24-Jan-06 |
Sean Michael Kerner
More Articles »
- Tweet
One of the biggest draws that any Web host has is the price of domain registrations. Once only the purview of Network Solutions at $70 plus per domain that price has in recent years dropped to previously unimaginable levels. Both Yahoo and GoDaddy are offering annual domain registration for under $4.
Among the lowest consistently offered domain registration prices is Netfirms, currently offering dot com domains for $4.95. Perhaps even more startling is that Netfirms has a $9.95 a month, hosted e-commerce offering that combines two free domains names with a generous amount of hosting space, and, oh yeah - one of the most popular and extensible shopping carts on the planet.
What It Is
Netfirms currently offers two different core hosting packages for e-commerce hosting: the "Advantage" package at $9.95 a month and the "Business" package at $14.95 a month. The difference between the two is essentially space and size. Advantage offers 20 GB of storage and 750 GB of transfer while Business offers 40 GB and 1500 GB of transfer. Both include email accounts (Advantage - 100; Business -200) and MySQL 4.1 databases (Advantage - 30; Business - 60). From an e-commerce point of view, both have the same shopping cart.
Getting a Netfirms Commerce Pro shopping cart setup is at least a two-step process. The first part of the process is a simple one click from the Netfirms Control Panel to actually add the cart to your site.
Somewhat to our surprise, after the Commerce Pro shopping cart was added to our test site, a familiar looking screen greeted us. Netfirms Commerce Pro is actually an OScommerce shopping cart. We suppose if we had first looked closely at the FAQ page and noticed item number ten then we would have known that before we first attempted to install the cart. It's certainly not clearly mentioned on the About, Features, Store Demo or Admin Demo pages. More often than not, Netfirms refers to Commerce Pro as, "an Amazon-style shopping cart."
As an aside, the Admin Demo is hardly a demo. Rather it's just a simple page with some screenshots and text, there is no actual "demo" that you can play with to be found there.
Netfirm's implementation of OScommerce starts with the same fundamental "flaw" that all OScommerce users experience when, upon installation, there is no step-by-step wizard to guide you through a proper shopping cart setup. Certainly, Netfirms does provide some decent documentation to help users, but we find it significantly easier when initial setup and configuration is a guided, as opposed to an exploratory, effort.
|Look familiar? Netfirm's Commerce Pro is based on the open source e-commerce package OScommerce.
Netfirm's Commerce Pro implementation of OScommerce appears to be a relatively default installation of the standard OScommerce milestone 2 release. Since it is a hosted application in this case, though, Netfirms has saved potential OScommerce users the trouble of actually loading and configuring a Web server to actually host the application. Netfirms also provides SSL secured access to the cart's administration.
[Read our review of OSCommerce's full feature set]
Among the default features are a variety of payment gateway options (including, Authorize.Net, PayPal, iPayment, 2CheckOut, PSiGate, SECPay and TrusTCommerce) as well as automated shipping calculator inclusion from UPS and the US Postal Service.
The greatest power of OScommerce is its extensibility. Thanks to its open source nature, there is a vibrant and robust community of users and developers that have added many new modules that can be added to an OScommerce installation. Unfortunately, Netfirms does not provide easy access for its users to take full advantage of those modules. One would assume in this day and age, for example, that FedEx would be a nice addition to have as a shipping option. There is at least one such module that is freely available on OScommerce.com that Netfirms could have included with its Netfirms Ecommerce Pro.
Netfirms Commerce Pro also does not, by default, include a module to easily allow users to populate their catalogs. Though the support Web site does include an explanation of how a user could attempt to configure that functionality themselves.
Do It Yourself
For many, we'd suspect that the great price on domains and hosting offered by Netfirms would be very attractive. On the hosting side, most users will find great value for the price paid. As a pure hosted e-commerce play, though, at least for novice users, the Netfirms Commerce Pro is not necessarily an ideal solution if you're looking for everything but the kitchen sink pre-packed and ready to go.
Netfirms Commerce Pro does save potential users of OScommerce the trouble of trying to set up the database connections and associated permission themselves, which can be troublesome in some cases.
The fact that Netfirms Commerce Pro doesn't add on a whole lot to a stock OScommerce download, though, is easily overcome in a variety of ways.
If you're willing to explore a bit there are plenty of modules on the main OScommerce Web site that aren't too difficult to install and get running.
Then again there are at least two open source pre-packaged OScommerce based solutions available that you could just download and the host with Netfirms if you really wanted to. One of those options, CREloaded has upgraded its offering since we reviewed it a year ago and now it boasts no less than 50 built in add-on modules that significantly expand a stock OScommerce installation.
Considering that Netfirms e-commerce pricing including hosting starts at only $10 per month (which includes 2 free domain names), we suspect that a lot of users won't mind too much investing some additional time to fully customize and realize the potential of their storefronts.

The Bambino
I saw this breed on '101 cats' on Animal Planet, and I fell in love! I like both hairless cats, and cats with hair. But this one is just adorable!
The first litter of Bambino kittens was registered in 2005. It was registered by TICA in 2005 as an experimental breed, created by Pat and Stephanie Osborne. The Bambino is a mix between the short-legged Munchkin Cat and the hairless Canadian Sphynx. 'Bambino' is Italian for baby.
Bambino cats have a gentle but lively, outgoing, and affectionate personality. Bambinos love nothing more than to be cuddled up on the laps of their family members. A Bambino can make a wonderful addition to any family, as they love children and get along great with other animals; dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, and even birds.They can take being handled very well. Bambino's also have no problem with traveling. These cats are very intelligent and find it easy to adjust to new environments and they handle changes very well. Despite his short legs, Bambino cats are quite fast and agile.
If you don't feel like putting too much time into grooming, the Bambino might not be for you. Just like with most of the hairless cats the Bambino should be given a bath every other week. They will get greasy if not given a bath often enough, and will start to leave grease stains where they rest. However, over bathing can also lead to dry skin. Some Bambinos may tolerate the water, and others may enjoy it. Start bathing you cat when it's still very young.
Pay good attention to keep the ears and nail beds clean as residue can build up quickly in these areas. Just like with the webbing between their toes. Because they have no hair on their body,
Bambinos can burn in strong sunlight so make sure you limit their exposure, or use sun cream.
While some people with allergies find they are not allergic to Bambinos, others discover they are allergic but usually to a lesser extent. Allergic reactions are triggered by different proteins. Some may be from saliva, some from the coat, and some from the skin dander. If possible, make time to spend some Bambinos to see if they trigger a reaction, before getting one, and finding you you're still allergic afterwards.
Bambinos need a well-balanced commercial diet. Being hairless, Bambinos eat more than their hairy cousins due to their higher metabolisms. When buying a new kitten it's always a good idea to have a discussion on proper nutrition with your breeder, or to ask your vet for more information about nutrition.
The Body
The Bambino's body has the overall appearance of strength and muscularity, and is not thin or whippy. It is well muscled with medium boning giving a stocky, very muscular overall appearance. The Bambino has large almond-shaped eyes that are slightly slanted and wide-set. A short muzzle gives a square appearance when looked down on from the top. The back is level with a slight rise in the back legs allowed but not desired. It has short, well-developed legs, having medium-sized feet with well-defined toes and prominent knuckles. Finishing it off is a long, slender tail that is flexible like a whip, tapering to a point with lion tuft on the end. Their ears are alert and upright and are considered quite large with moderately pointed tips.
The Bambino feels very warm. They are not totally bald, as they have a fine down that is usually not perceptible to the eye. They can range from a warm velvet feel to a soft peach to even a sticky putty feeling depending upon the degree of hairlessness.
The Bambino comes in all colors, patterns and variations, and they are small-medium in height, and weight around 5 to 9 lbs.
How Old?
They say the Bambino can become older than 12 years old. The true life expectancy is unknown for this breed since it is so new.
Health Issues
As this breed is still in development, there are no known health issues related to a Bambino cat. However, health concerns related to dwarfism are being reviewed and may be recognized at a later time.
But some say that the Bambino won't have any back problems like the Dachshund. Because the Bambino has a normal spine, like every other cat, just shorter legs.
Fun fact
When having a litter, a Bambino can get kittens with both long legs, and short legs.

But it's a different matter for people living inside the silver screen. For one thing, film characters can get away with wearing sunglasses indoors without everyone in the nearby vicinity thinking they're arrogant good-for-nothings. And that's because if they didn't wear their sunglasses, they would be in serious trouble.
Men In Black
Imagine if the Men In Black turned up to work without their sunnies. Firstly, they would lose that distant, enigmatic look that's so ruddy important to their behind-the-scenes work life. And secondly, throwing on a pair of dark sunglasses keeps them covered from the effects of their flashy memory-loss gadget. Essential wearing for a man in black. Would you want to suddenly forget why you were fighting a vicious ten-headed alien from the depths of space all because you forgot to pack your Ray-Bans that morning? No, no you wouldn't.
The Matrix
The poster kind of says it all, doesn't it? Computer geeks turned cyber-heroes with a penchant for karate kicking their way through virtual worlds need sunglasses. With them, they look moody and enigmatic. Without them, they would just look mildly annoyed. And who wants to watch a film full of mildly annoyed people?
The Terminator
"I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle." It's not quite Shakespeare, but it sure is memorable. We can't help but notice that he didn't mention sunglasses - Arnie should count himself lucky that a pair of sunnies were tucked in the jacket pocket. He didn't ask for a pair and dark shades are kind of crucial to the renegade biker look. Frankly, we'd laugh in the face of any unstoppable killer robot from the future that didn't wear sunglasses. So next time Arnie, we recommend you be a bit more specific.
The Hangover
Hangover + sunshine = headache. Enough said.

Apple looking to hire senior execs for mobile payment technology
updated 05:15 pm EDT, Mon April 21, 2014
Plans described as 'very, very serious'
Apple has been conducting interviews of senior payment industry executives in a bid to build up a mobile payment platform, sources say. The company is allegedly talking to candidates for two positions, one as head of product and another as head of business development. Apple's e-commerce chief, Jennifer Bailey, is indicated to be spearheading payment system efforts and meeting with the candidates in question. "Their [Apple's] ambitions are very, very serious," one of the sources comments.
In terms of substance, Apple is said to be testing ways for people to buy physical products on an iPhone via apps and the web. This would involve linking charges to a person's iTunes account, much like Google Wallet allows Android phone owners to buy things at retail.
One source adds that rumored talks between Apple and PayPal were ongoing as recently as March. Whether talks are still ongoing is unknown. Regardless, the sources say that Apple is now committed to developing a mobile payment system, even if the technology is still in its formative stages.

Yesterday, Andy Petitte returned – 5 IP, 92 pitches, 3 BB,7K. Not bad. But the bullpen failed and Biggio had a 2 run error in left. No help in any way from the killer Bs. And we lost. Again. Today, Clemens didn't look sharp. 5 walks and only 60% of pitches were strikes. Miceli pitched again today. Threw 13 pitches, gave up a walk and a homer. He looks really tired. Wade Miller is on the DL, Kent has a hamstring strain, is out for at least a few days and Berkman is 0/6 over the past 2 days with 6 guys left on base. Everyone looks DULL DULL DULL except Beltran and Lidge, who threw 2 innings today with 3 K and a walk.
Is there really such a thing as a guy who comes in and is a spark? Lots of stat geeks say there is no such thing as a spark or a cancer and that there is no such thing as chemistry (well, there isn't on the stratomatic cards, is there???)
I know they always find some other reason that explains change, such as the pitchers had lower ERAs or DER increased or something. But WHY did these things change? Why couldn't it be an attitude change in the players?
I know for a fact that a group of females can act better or worse after being joined by a new girl. Why not guys? Guys are humans too and have emotions and feelings, even if they show them differently than girls sometimes, and react to different people around them.
Let me explain.
10 days ago, my sister-in-law, who had just had a baby, got sick and had to go back in the hospital and asked me to keep her baby while she was in. I have 2 year old twins, missed having a baby around and said sure. Well let me tell you. That baby is the cryingest, complaininest baby I ever did see. Hollerin about EVERYTHING. Won't sleep more'n an hour cuz it takes away from hollerin time. Soooooo? Well, my 2 year olds started whinin and crying and fussin like they don't usually do and my husband, usually a nice even tempered sort of guy, got crabby. And I started yelling at him and my kids which isn't like me at all.
So one small male who is unpleasant was, shall we say, a "clubhouse cancer" (even though I hate to say that about a brand new baby and the pediatrician told me at all 4 visits that lots of babies like him change as they get bigger.) So if one 7 pound male can cause 4 usually good natured people to get snappy and crabby, why couldn't that happen with a 200 pound male and 24 other guys?
Or the other way around? Because the Astros sure do need someone to sharpen em up.
