2009 Jeep Patriot test drives: now includes "Five Months in a Patriot"
The Jeep Patriot was left off most customers' shopping lists in 2008, though it combined easy parking and driving, a convenient form, and a decent ride with the usual Jeep mobility. A marketing gap, poorly decorated interior, poorly-tuned CVT, and loud engine meant that most customers had never heard of the Patriot in the first place; or heard of it only via bad reviews; or got to the dealer only to sit in a cheap-feeling body.
It didn't help that many Jeep loyalists claimed the Patriot was an insult, though it can apparently out-trail the Jeep Cherokee. For that, you have to thank electronic wizardry, attention to clearance, and some outstanding engineers whom Chrysler has managed to hold onto.
The new owners of Chrysler immediately got to work on the Patriot, which has failed to live up to expectations; a vehicle like this, with the Jeep brand behind it, really should be selling at double the current volume. They added sound insulation, restyled the interior as much as they could given the time and money they had, retuned the CVT, and tossed the Patriot back out into the marketplace, presumably with crossed fingers. The result is a much more attractive package which still has some inherent flaws, but also many advantages.
The Patriot is styled like the old Cherokee, and is almost exactly the same size (with a lower roof but equally good headroom); but the Patriot is quieter, safer, and gets better gas mileage, at the cost of torque and the approach angle. As for long-term durability and abusability, the jury is still out, but other testers have beaten their Patriots on rough trails without finding obvious weak spots.
Inside, the Patriot is no longer cheap-looking, at least up front. Silver and chrome surfaces break up the plastic surfaces even on the base (Sport) models; the 4WD button and shifter tops are bright chrome. The Limited's gray interior has dark uppers and light lowers, with the cloth seats boasting a patterned inner surface and solid outer surface that matches the lighter gray of the doors well, and optional, classy two-toned leather seats.
Gauges are clear and readable, with a big tachometer (that only goes up to the engine limit, rather than going 2,000 rpm beyond) and a reasonable 120 mph speedometer with an odometer that doubled as an outside thermometer.
Controls are where you'd expect them, and are easy to use; the climate controls are convenient and easy to figure out (though without the upscale feel of the new Dodge controls), with knobs for fan, temperature, and vent selection, and buttons for a/c, recirculation, and rear defroster.
For 2009, everything is in the same place, but the original 2008 "chunky" styling has been deleted with a more conventional rounded touch, except on the doors. Controls generally have a high quality feel, as do doors and the gate.
The optional trip computer / compass / thermometer is nicely placed underneath the speedometer; easy to figure out, it's harder to use than it has to be because the single-button control is right on the gauge cluster, so the driver has to bend around the steering wheel (or dangerously go through it) to reach it. The universal garage door opener (on vehicles that have it) is integrated into the roof, by the map lights. Most other controls are fairly conventional, with door-mounted locks and window and mirror controls (mirrors also fold in, as one would expect on a Jeep). Cruise control is handled by a Toyota-style stalk. Gear-shifting is done via a conventional automatic-style gearshift, which lacks a low gear selection (with the Freedom Drive II, it's replaced with a rock-crawling gear).
The stereo on our first test car was conventional and easy to use; the sound was good and we recommend against getting the optional Boston Acoustics speaker package with its overactive subwoofer.
A cell phone / iPod holder in the center console flipped out when needed, but the wire going into the stereo could be a bit dangerous unless carefully routed or attached to the side of the console. All Patriots have an auxiliary jack using a standard stereo cable to connect to iPods, tape recorders, Mac Minis, or any other audio devices you might have; the controls won't be integrated with the stereo itself, but it's a step up from a cassette or FM adapter.
The interior has an airy feel, thanks to big, well-placed windows; the windshield is far enough from the driver to make the Patriot seem roomier than it is. The Patriot is compact in exterior size, but not having to jam a six cylinder engine under the hood allows for more cargo and passenger space; the squarish shape also helps. Curves are great for looks, but they don't do much for interior space, which is why the PT Cruiser is so sensible and the New Beetle isn't. The Patriot also feels solid, but it's heavy in reality as well, so that's not as much of an achievement.
There's decent room in the back, but the rear seats were uncomfortable, with children and adults both critical of them; between unusual firmness and unusual contours, and a vague feeling that the car was out of control (similar to the back seat of the prior RAV4), the back seat was not the happiest place to be, at least while the Jeep was moving. Rear legroom is sufficient but not generous; the Patriot sacrificed some back-seat room for the cargo bay.
Bins include the usual covered center console, small map pockets in the doors, and an open bin on top of the glove compartment. Cupholders are the usual large openings with rubbery bubbles to hold larger items in place.
The engine is unfortunate; the old 2.4 liter used in the PT Cruiser and minivans would have been more appropriate, given its torque range. The new World Engine sounds buzzy when revved, like a cross between a leafblower and a sewing machine; and it needs to be revved high for strong acceleration, though in normal around-town driving, it's quiet enough. The engine is buzzword compliant, with dual variable valve timing (both intake and exhaust valves are varied depending on engine speeds) and other technologies, but that doesn't compensate for the lack of low-end power or the noise.
Chrysler has made numerous improvements to the CVT (though the stick-shift still feels better). The CVT-equipped Patriot no longer feels sluggish, and is peppy around town. Highway-ramp sprints are not thrilling, but they are better than before and more than adequate. The transmission is generally quicker and more responsive; one could mistake it for an automatic until pushing the throttle down. That's when the real advantage of the CVT comes into play.
The CVT makes the most of the engine under full acceleration. The driver just has to push the pedal to the metal, and the engine will rev to its redline - and stay there as the transmission changes ratios and the Jeep speeds up. With a regular transmission, the engine can't be kept at its peak horsepower or torque because it changes speed as the vehicle changes speed; with the CVT, the vehicle speed can change without changing the engine speed. This helps to make up for the World Engine. It also helps gas mileage somewhat by keeping the engine at a constant speed while gearing changes up and down, when possible.
When coasting, the CVT kept the engine at over 1,500 rpm, seeming to drag more than conventional automatics, which probably accounted for much of the gas-mileage deficiency. The 2009 changes fixed our concerns with slow launches and poor 0-30 times. Still, we preferred the manual transmission, and not just because of its considerable gas-mileage benefits. We found that we could quicken passing by dropping two gears (yes, two), and that the World Engine needed to be pushed over 4,000 rpm to make good power.
Gas mileage was no great shakes in our test car, which was rated at 20 mpg city, 22 highway — better than a Wrangler (15/19 with automatic), but not what some drivers might expect. To be fair, without the advanced four wheel drive system, which presumably limits gear ratios and adds weight, the 4x4 Patriot shoots up to 21 city, 24 highway. Shift your own gears alters the equation to an enviable 23 city, 28 highway (again with four wheel drive, but not the off-road-oriented low gear and other features).
The 4x4 system is electronically activated; it's easier to quickly switch in and out of four wheel drive, with the change taking place instantly. Staying locked in four wheel drive mode on dry pavement causes tire scrubbing, so a light goes on when the system is engaged.
The Freedom Drive II on our test car provided an extra-low gear for rock crawling, automatically shutting off the electronic stability-control program and adding hill-descent control, an unusual feature in this price class.
Cornering is well within the needs of most drivers. During emergency cornering, the Patriot remained stable; and the anti-tip and stability control systems can pull people out of bad situations (though the ordinary cornering capabilities are usually more than enough). The ride is good for a 4x4, acceptable for a small, inexpensive crossover; nasty bumps are filtered out, but the ride errs on the side of firmness, one price you pay for a cheap off-road-capable car. On the other hand, if you've driven a Rubicon model or a Hummer H3, you may find that the Patriot is, relatively speaking, a luxury car.
Cargo space is moderately good, with a heavy plastic base that can be lifted away covering the full-size spare; there's a bit of space down there for jumper cables or whatever other little things you may want to carry. Optional nets keep groceries from flying around, and the split rear seats fold forward as one would expect. The rear seats include the LATCH car-seat system (required by law) but like other new Chrysler vehicles, the top belt has to be routed around the headrest somehow.
Crash testing showed that the little Patriot was designed with safety in mind: it achieved five stars on side crash tests, five stars for the passenger and four for the driver in frontal tests, and four stars for risk of rollover. 66% of the Patriot came from the United States and Canada, 19% from Mexico; it was assembled in Belvidere, Illinois, with an American engine and Mexican transmission (designed by Nissan's JATCO).
Patriot is fairly inexpensive for the base model, with stability control, side airbags, stick-shift, CD player, four speakers, traction control, antilock brakes, and anti-roll system. The 2.0 liter engine is also available and it boosts gas mileage a bit. Four wheel drive is around $2,000 more; off-road packages include the automatic (CVT) transmission, but those who just want snow traversal can get the stick shift with 4x4.
Our test vehicle, a Sport 4x4, listed for $19,120 with just standard features. Those standard features are pretty impressive: side curtain airbags in front and back, stability control with roll prevention, four-wheel antilock brakes and brake assist, antitheft system, rear defogger, wiper, and washer, tire pressure monitor, air conditioning, folding rear seats, sliding front armrest, CD player, tilt wheel, four wheel drive, and trip odometer with outdoor temperature display. That's a pretty full feature complement.
The 2009 Jeep Patriot we used for our test drive and car review, though, ran to a full $24,015 before (substantial) rebates. The main reason for that was the 28E package, which added a height-adjustable driver's seat, floor mats, stain-repellant cloth on the seats, deep-tint glass, power fold-away mirrors, power windows and locks, remote entry, cruise control, light package, reclining and folding rear seats, and 115-volt AC power outlet — for a total of $2,175.
The Freedom Drive II group added $855, and included a brake lock differential, hill descent control, big aluminum wheels, full-sized spare tire, skid plates, tow hooks, engine oil cooler, fog lamps, air filter, and wiring harness for towing. That package, though, requires the $1,050 continuously variable transmission with off-road crawl ratio. Finally, our test car had expensive paint ($225) and a tire and wheel group ($590). If it didn't require the CVT and pound the gas mileage, we'd probably recommend the Freedom Drive II for everyone, since you can't go wrong with extra oil cooling, skid plates, and such.
Those who want a nice, convenient all-wheel-drive car for easy snow days, and who like the Jeep exterior styling, should find the Patriot to be a well balanced package. It provides many functional features at a lower price than competitors, has good ground clearance and a well designed 4x4 system, sheet metal that makes it look like a "real" Jeep, optional off-road systems that make it travel like a "real" Jeep, and a price tag that's more in line with a high-end economy car or low-end family sedan. The hatch has good storage, at the expense of rear-seat legroom; headroom is good; the airy feel is pleasant; and gas mileage is reasonable with the stick-shift or base CVT. The down-sides are the noisy engine (though wind noise is fairly light), the need to put your foot into it for passing power, the rear seat feel (for some people), and gas mileage with the Freedom Drive II. It's certainly cheaper, more convenient, and more efficient than most vehicles that were designed to be SUVs.
Unfortunately, the curse of Daimler will rest on the Patriot for a while, since reviews tend not to be updated frequently, and perceptions, once made, are hard to un-make. That does mean that buyers interested in the Patriot might be able to get a better deal.
We don't know what the future holds for the Patriot, but we suspect Chrysler is busily working on fixing up the ol' World Engine or replacing it entirely. In the meantime, there are good deals to be had on this nicely balanced, underrated little crossover.

Cincinnati City Councilman Chris Seelbach

While police continue searching for a man who physically attacked him on Monday, City Councilman Chris Seelbach on Wednesday found himself the target of verbal and written attacks, too.
Seelbach, during his call to a 911 dispatcher reporting a stranger had punched him Downtown on Monday, mentioned four times that he is a city councilman. Critics interpreted that as Seelbach's attempt to get special attention because of his official post. But Seelbach and his supporters suggested it's unfair to so harshly judge the words of someone who had just been the victim of a violent crime, especially ...

As I've said over and over, I dove into researching RA. Food became an interesting topic as I discovered that many others had noticed that certain foods caused more pain and discomfort than others. I thought I would give it a try; I had nothing else to lose.
Red peppers, red wine and shell fish were quickly noted as pain triggers and were begrudgingly eliminated from my diet, but still there was pain. How could I keep up with my young family? I had to find something better. I found weather played a big role and heating pads and hot baths became more frequent and favorite friends.
I noticed that stress would set pain switch on and if I wasn't active for more than an hour, stiffness set in, so walking was put on the schedule, which also helped with relaxing stress away.
One particular thing weighed heavy on my mind and that was the dependency of pain meds. In the past, with other health situations I had gone through weeks and weeks of extreme pain and had been given copious amounts of narcotics, morphine, Vicodin and Demerol. But at the most I was 3 weeks relying on them because the pain was temporary and an end was in sight. This was different, I would be living with RA for the rest of my life, how could I get through without abusing drugs? Who in their right mind wants to live 24/7 with no pain relief? And narcotics certainly help deal with that, and wow, they make me feel great! It was a big decision to dig my heels in and be determined that I would do all I could to better this situation before relying on mind and body numbing drugs. So far, I have been doing a pretty good job of keeping pain away, and in dire situations I take a couple of Tylenol 3's.
When living day in and day out with chronic pain, a person learns how to cope. I began to keep an eye on the weather in order to prepare myself for pressure changes, I always make sure pain meds were handy, heat sources close by and diligently keep my immune system as healthy as possible. But even all this doesn't entirely remove it.
I barely notice it now, unless it's a bad flare, or really take the time to think about it. I supposed I've gotten used to it so much that it doesn't register the same as it did even 2 years ago. I deal quite well with the daily stiffness and aches, but the sudden flares still send me for a loop, probably because they are so infrequent now. The sharp pains that feel like bee stings in my fingers, elbows, knees and feet are horrible, and because I'm on blood thinners, the inflammation usually causes quite a bit of ugly bruises which makes me look like I've been beaten with a ball-peen hammer.
Yes, Rheumatoid Arthritis pain definitely gets on my nerves to say the least, but the more I live with it, the more I learn to fight it; and the stronger I get, RA's grip on me gets weaker. Until a cure is found, I'm quite prepared to fight tooth and nail. Bring it on!

It's not exactly an insider secret that the productivity big data and business intelligence bring to the table are leading the way in how businesses operate. Big data has become an essential element that we need to sustain productivity and the longevity of overall commercial success. So there is great news about big data and business intelligence and where it is headed in the New Year.
As a top priority for any businesses' success, knowing how consumers are responding—or will respond in the future—is vital. For example, how consumers will receive the next product line is likely the most important kind of big data we can get our hands on. So what will change in 2014 that will make big data better in this respect? Predictive analysis is the name of the game, and making it easier to use and understand will be the new black in the spring season.
Infographic via: McKinsey
Recommended for YouWebcast: Sales and Marketing Alignment: 7 Steps To Implement Effective Sales Enablement
Predictive analytics within business intelligence is about to get an important renovation—The types of support tools, such as big data dashboards and easier to understand forecast outcomes will allow data analysts and data scientists to present information about the company's future in a manner that will be easier to digest for other team members within the company without having to do too much additional work.
Taking the raw data and creating reports in lay-terms faster means analysts can deliver more big data to those who need it faster. Because, let's face it, most data analysts and scientists are not interested in taking the information they have gathered and transforming it into a report that can be baby-fed to those who may not understand all the complex nuances of big data aggregation and analysis.
Having the option to bring data that has yet to be fully analyzed to those who need to be in the loop via a simple dashboard is a great idea, but it will mean the "higher ups" can see things like past reports, and what the big data gurus on their team are working on for future presentations, and more. Now, this might mean more emails and other interactions between the analytics team and other employees, CEOs, and board members, but while this might initially cause so extra work on the part of the analysts, it will help to cultivate the relationships between these two disparate groups, which can only mean more cohesiveness across the board. It also means that when the time comes for presentations and meetings, the important decision-making men and women with the corner offices are already at least somewhat prepared to understand the big data material they are about to be presented with.
This makes Q&A sessions shorter (time is money) and also offers a way for this newly enhanced relationship between executives and analysts to ask and answer questions in a friendlier manner because the company culture has changed. When this transformation occurs, the data team will be more at ease and less nervous with what they are presenting, and executives and other important employees will feel more comfortable asking questions that previously they may not have wanted to ask to avoid getting an answer they were not prepared to hear.
All of this means better planning through the simplest and oldest formula for success for any company: communication. With dashboards and other tools that integrate visibility to those outside of the big data fold, implementation of big data can help top dog decision makers offer up suggestions that analysts may not have considered. For example, an executive who may be wondering what forecasts based on big data are suggesting for the next fiscal quarter can shoot off an email to his or her analyst team, get the answers he or she is looking for, and then respond with information the analysts may not have been privy to. This new level of quality control can mean the difference between data teams chasing information that should not be a priority and changing course based on what they're hearing from an executive, plan appropriately, and begin to process different data that will meet the more time sensitive needs of business owners and executives.
Changes in data management and visibility in 2014 will begin the age of the "big data for dummies" era, which may sound offensive, but in its essence, will ultimately create enhanced results faster—expediency, change of course when necessary, and higher visibility to those who need it most means higher customer satisfaction, and a higher profit margin.

One of my personal favorites, this is a unique work that Guy Ottewell has produced for the last twenty years and it bears his indelible character. A large format (11" x 15") softcover with full sky charts for each month along with the most amazing "3D" diagrams that succeed (as most others do not) in letting you see the spatial relationships of eclipses, planetary or comet orbits, meteor showers, etc. Ottewell's Astronomical Calendar also includes much of the culture and folklore of skywatching through the ages.

Bunk business???
So in an effort to get new boots for this winter I've gone to two shops and tried on 10-15 pairs of boots and the ones that I like the best I got from a small chain. 2013 button ruler restricted. After buyin these for 240 I went to another locally owned shop that also does dive equip for summer. They had. Huge sale going on(the only one they do all year and it only lasts two days) I found another pair of button rulers I liked in a different color scheme. I bought them for 179 (10 percent off) regularly 199?
After getting both boots home and tryin them on I realize that they were from different years, even though the local store told me they were this years model, they were the '12s. I didn't like them as much, and we're about a 3oz difference in weight. I returned them to the store and swapped them for smith I/os that I like for 175 and a chesty for my go pro. I didn't see a price on the chesty but I assumed it would be the same as I had seen it everywhere else, no more than 35. They were actually 40 and then I got home and received a phone call from the salesman and he tells me that I wasn't charged enough. So I have to return to the store again and pay them 20 dollars more because he forgot about the discount on the boots.
I am thinking about just returning it and taking my business elsewhere. It seems like most places are selling everything listed for a lot cheaper. If not online but in town anyways, would I be a dick for telling them to piss off and just return it all and get it cheaper somewhere else??

September 29, 2005Felicity is a 4.5 year old Calico domestic shorthair. She has been spayed and all vaccinations are current. Felicity was yet another pregnant female, abandoned at the shelter while in labor. She was immediately rushed to the veterinary hospital, where an emergency C-section had to be performed. As usual, as soon as they were old enough, the babies were adopted and mom was left behind. Felicity is not happy at the shelter, as she seems frightened of being in the presence of so many other cats. She seldom wanders out of her cage, chosing to spend most of her time huddled in a corner. However, she loves people and will not hesitate to come to the front of the cage if a person approaches. She loves to be held and petted, and would make a wonderful lap cat for someone in a quiet home. The humane society is looking for a special person, with a big heart, willing to give a really sweet adult cat, a real home and a second chance at happiness. Felicity has many years of life yet to come, and they should not be spent in a cage. Missy is a 10 month old Chihuahua. She has been spayed and all vaccinations are current. Missy previously lived with an elderly owner, and when that owner was no longer able to care for her, she came to live at the humane society shelter. In that former home, she was extremely loved and pampered, but she did not get much exposure to anything or anybody outside of the home, so she can be a bit shy in new situations. She has adjusted well to the shelter routine, so it is very likely that she will do well in a new home, given a little time and patience. She has been very sweet and affectionate with shelter staff. For more information, please call Clayton County Humane at 770/471-9436. Visit www.claytoncountyhumane.org to see other animals available for adoption.

Toshiba Thrive
- Ashley delavane
Please get your facts straight if you are going to publish. I have the Thrive and your article is incorrect:
The Thrive is the first Honeycomb tablet to include a full-size SD Card slot.
None of this microSD card nonsense for Toshiba; ditto for only having a micro- or mini-USB port. By including the SD Card slot and USB port, the company recognizes the need for interoperability among devices.

i agree. i love the idea of having a full sized HDMI and USB slot. it makes life so much easier. no need to carry all the wires around. most people will complain about the weight but i think its fine. Overall, the best tablet till date

I think Toshiba has made an excellent decision, and seem like they've done more market research than its competitors. If a tablet is to replace a laptop and become an entertainment hub then you need all those specs and ports. Samsung, on the other hand, is just trying too hard to compete with ipad, I like Samsung and I think they make great products at good prices but they're probably trying too hard. Initially, I bought an ipad and then sold it after 1 month because it was such a closed system that made it only partially useful to me, case in point I could not reserve a rent a car on line because the website used flash; could not put my pictures because I needed to be near a computer with a cord and itunes. Although Android is far from perfect, it remains more open and does not "rule" you. I am glad I waited. I trust that the build quality of Toshiba is great and thus with those specs I am sold. Since I don't live in the States, I just asked a friend to send me one. Sorry for a fragmented comment; I needed to be brief.

"...and an ExFAT driver so the Thrive can handle up to a 1TB external hard drive over the USB port." so I'd say the full USB would definitely be a sufficient reason to consider purchasing this device

I love this one. It has everything! Card reader, usb, hdmi port, plus it has interchangeable battery not like other tablet that you have to replace everything if the battery is already fried.. I dont mind if it is thicker than Ipad and Galaxy tab. Hope this will be available soon in the Philippines..

My concern is regarding software support. This will ship with HC 3.1 but how will support be in the future? I currently have an Asus TF and their support is top notch. 3.1 was pushed out just weeks after announcement.
But the Toshiba's full SD and USB slots got me wondering if I should return the TF. I use my tablet mostly at home so weight is not really an issue. Especially when its less than 200gr difference.

I already have RSI caused by the weight of Ipad Ver 1. @ 771 gms I will pass on this one. The weight needs at least a 5 in front of it.

15mm is too much thick for a tablet. Toshiba should understand that tablets got their hype because of their portability. but in 15mm i'd rather buy an acer w500 with windows

Irons Buyer's Guide 2006
If you've been delaying your purchase of new irons, we have but five words: "What are you waiting for?"Shaft Options
The majority of new irons come stock with high-quality shafts, but they're hardly the only option. If you're up for a little experimentation, there are literally hundreds of exotic aftermarket iron shafts that can add varying performance benefits to your set of irons.
AccuFLEX Icon
AccuFLEX offers an iron version of its renowned Icon long driver shaft, made with the same A2 composite material. www.accuflexgolf.com
Every shaft has a spine (its natural bend point). Accumade makes it a point to mark the spine and align along the target line to maximize performance. The company also sorts its shafts in accordance with their propensity to bend in that direction. It's high-custom stuff that's really catching on. www.accumade.com
Aldila NV
After watching its graphite NV driver shaft skyrocket to instant fame, Aldila adopted the technology inherent in the NV design into a line of graphite iron shafts. Excellent. www.aldila.com
Element 21
Eagle One Pro Scandium's inherent properties produce great stability and a huge vibration-dampening effect. www.e21golf.com
Fujikura Speeder 717 & Vista Pro
While Fujikura's aftermarket driver shaft models dominate, their high-quality graphite iron shafts have almost gone unnoticed. Renowned Fujikura craftsmanship and a variety of options to satisfy specific ballflight needs. www.fujikuragolf.com
Grafalloy ProLaunch
Grafalloy's ProLaunch made waves in the driver shaft market with its ability to produce specific trajectories for different golfers. The new ProLaunch iron shaft does the same. www.grafalloy.com
Graphite Design GAT & YS-I
If you're torn between graphite and steel in your irons, then check out the GAT (Graphite/Alloy Technology) iron shafts. Available in four weights, these multi-material shafts offer the great feel of graphite but with even less torque than steel. Also available is an iron version of GD's excellent YS driver shafts. www.gdintl.com
Nippon N.S. Pro Series
The N.S. Pro Series from Nippon features a unique high-quality alloy that allows for lightweight yet extremely durable shafts. Weights range from 105 grams to a graphite-like 85 grams.

Native Trees and Car Parks
Isn't it funny how little things really grate on your nerves at times? I mean, we tolerate politicians with their snouts in the trough, developers who raze our last remaining stands of native trees to build car-parks and The Bold and the Beautiful, but we start gnashing our teeth and beating our breasts over little things ...
Such as the use of 'and' when it should be 'or.'
Take a look at these three little sentences:
His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork. (Mae West)
He's liked, but he's not well liked. (Arthur Miller)
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped. (Groucho Marx)
The meanings are quite clear, aren't they? The conjunctions do their jobs well.
But, look what happens when you jumble these:
His mother should have thrown him away or kept the stork. (Mae West)
The meaning is now quite different; instead of a definite action - discarding the unhappy individual and keeping the stork, there's now an element of doubt.
Change the conjunction in these sentences and they become totally confusing:
He's liked, and he's not well liked.
He's liked, or he's not well liked.
Either he's dead but my watch has stopped.
Either he's dead and my watch has stopped.
And joins like events; or separates different events and but indicates an exception or condition that applies. It sounds so simple - why do so many advertisers, newsreaders, commentators and street signs get it so wrong? Aargh!
Well ... that feels better. This is (another) of my little peeves - and it's great being able to let off steam about things like this ... aah the joys of a newsletter :)
Last week's tale about the Tong Master led Rick to confirm that this behaviour isn't limited to the Antipodean male:
"The barbie story was funny and so much like the BBQ's we have here in Texas. It is a macho thing, no doubt."
Neil also had some light to shed on the subject:
"The subject short story had me laughing out loud.
And from Richard,"In England we have so few opportunities to cook and eat outdoors that barbeque politics do not seem to be an issue. When we do risk it here, I light the thing and my wife generally does the cooking (and I look after the drinks). Not all that different from indoors, then. We have an annual barbeque in our cul-de-sac and the cooking is done by a man - but then he's a professional chef! Incidentally, I'm convinced that the best way to barbeque food is to part-cook it in the oven, singe it over the flames until it looks burnt and then put it back in the oven to keep warm until you're ready to eat it!"
Chuckle ... what would the Tong Master have to say about that?!
This week's quiz:
Choose a word from the list which is the synonym for each of the words below:
delay, stubborn, false, agreeable, wandering, near, permissive, destitution, poisonous, nonchalant
1. apathetic
2. indulgent
3. penury
4. noxious
5. procrastinate
6. obdurate
7. nomadic
8. imminent
9. spurious
Here are some more insights into the Australian way of life ...
The alpha male in any group is he who takes the barbecue tongs from the hands of the host and blithely begins turning the snags.
Whether it's the opening of Parliament, or the launch of a new art gallery, there is no Australian event that cannot be improved by a sausage sizzle.
If the guy next to you is swearing like a wharfie he's probably a media billionaire. Or on the other hand, he may be a wharfie.
There is no food that cannot be improved by the application of tomato sauce.
On the beach, all Australians hide their keys and wallets by placing them inside their sandshoes. No thief has ever worked this out.
Industrial design knows of no article more useful than the plastic milk crate.
It's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to hold.
A thong is not a piece of scanty swimwear, as in America, but a fine example of Australian footwear. A group of sheilas wearing black rubber thongs may not be as exciting as you had hoped...
If you're anything like me, every week, you'll receive at least half a dozen dire warnings against a new virus, sent by well-meaning friends. Here's another for your collection and this one sounds ro-o-o-o-olly and tro-o-o-lly bad:READ CAREFULLY!!
If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes," delete it immediately. Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty.
It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will program your phone auto dial to call only your mother-in-law's number. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer. (For God's sake, man, are you LISTENING?!?!) It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all the while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only fun until someone loses an eye.
It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active
verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly
change the interpretations of key sentences.
Thanks, Sara, for letting us know about this one ;)
Last week's quiz:
Fill in the table:
I'd be interested to hear whether the word of the week is a real term or simply the figment of someone's fevered imagination.
Word of the week: DWILE
FLONKING (An
English pub game.)
The game is officially played by two teams of twelve players, though there is great flexibility in numbers (the terminology and rules also vary from place to place). The fielding team gathers in a circle, called a girter, enclosing a member of the other team, the flonker. He holds a broom handle (usually called the driveller), on top of which is a beer-soaked rag, the dwile or dwyle.
At a signal, the girter dances around the flonker in a circle. He must flick (or flonk) the dwile with the driveller so it hits a girter team member. His score depends on which part of the body he hits - the usual scoring is three points for a hit on the head (a wanton), two for a hit on the body, (a marther), and just one for a leg strike (a ripple). If after two shots the flonker hasn't scored he is swadged, or potted, which means he has to drink a quantity of beer from a chamber pot within a given time. After all the members of one team have flonked, the other team is put in. The winner is the team with the most points after two innings, usually the one with more members still upright. (Weird Words)
Tautology of the week: Ask a question of an anonymous stranger and you may well receive back in response advance warning of bad trouble ahead in the future.
Here's an all-purpose Latin phrase for the week - use it wisely:
Mellilla, quid sentis? (Honey, what do you think?)
And here are some ... interesting (?)... Latin phrases that Chris sent:
Veni, Vidi, Pesci. (I came, I saw, I moidered da bum.)
Veni, Vidi, Velcro. (I came; I saw;
I stuck around.)
These are a hoot :)
The last one reminds me of a fabulously witty headline I read about in a Journalists' How to book many moons ago.
It was during the time that Gloria Swanson was popular - on both sides of The Pond. Apparently she'd taken ill while on a tour and her return home had been delayed. All her fans were immensely relieved to read the headline:
Sick Gloria in transit Monday.
Which everyone (back then) knew was a terrifically clever play on the Latin phrase: sic transit gloria mundi (Thus passes the glory of the world).

Aspects of Modern Language Teaching in Europe
Wolf Gewehr, Georgia Catsimali
Routledge, 1998 - Education - 237 pages
From the teaching of grammar to the teaching of literature; from classroom teaching to independent learning; from role-playing to CAL - few books on teaching languages cover such a wide field. In this book teaching experience and research from practitioners in four European countries throw new light on old problems faced every day, while others reveal innovative teaching methods and new insights into how teachers and learners interact. Sections include:
*language learning strategies and computer-assisted language learning
*facilitating individual progress through autonomous learning
*how to bring a foreign country alive in the classroom
*de-mythologising grammar teaching
*how different types of dictionaries can make valuable contributions to language teaching
*teaching and using idiomatic phrases.

In the Cinema One entry Kabisera, Joel Torre (middle) plays a family man turns to the drug trade to support his loved ones. However, things quickly spiral out of control as the police and a rival Muslim gang become involved.
If there is one irrefutable truth, it is that Joel Torre is an excellent actor. He has mastered the art so that he can register a range of emotions with the little nuances whether it be a lilt in his voice, shift in his eyes, or movement of a facial muscle.
He once again does justice to his role in the indie film Kabisera, as a father who wants to keep his control over his family and household at any cost.Directed by Alfonso "Borgy" Torre III, Kabisera is one of the entries currently being screened as part of the 9th Cinema One Originals Festival, which is ongoing until November 19, 2013. The film starts out with a very eerie scene of Joel Torre's character, Andres, at the head of the dinner table (called the "kabisera") with the rest of the family. There is no dialogue but the music has an unnatural quality as does the lighting. The room is awash in light and there is a light, jovial mood in the household.
The patriarch of the family awakes from the dream and goes about his day.
Andres is a fishpond owner who supplies fish to various market vendors. One early morning, instead of catching fish, he retrieves two huge packages of shabu, assessed to be worth millions, just floating in the water.He hides the drugs in the outhouse, telling only his wife and his best friend (Art Acuña) about it. They hatch a plan to profit from selling the illegal substance in their small town. But as greed overtakes everything else, the former strong bonds within the family and between long-time childhood friends are tested to breaking point.
Joel Torre, even at his character's greediest, begs for our empathy as his motivations are relatable: to provide a good life for his family.Art Acuña fascinates with his weather-beaten face whose layers are slowly peeled away throughout the story. Bing Pimentel, the matriarch of the family, is beautiful in her strength and grace. She matches Torre's father figure without buckling. She is sometimes gentle but mostly determined—as are many mothers in real life. Bernard Palanca is sinister and very impressive as a sly, corrupt policeman who completes the triumvirate of "drug lords."
Ketchup Eusebio is believable and despicable as the head courier of drugs.Meryll Soriano essays the role of the unica hija caught between her overbearing father and her headstrong fiancé.

GOME Electrical Appliances Holding Ltd is an electrical appliance retailer in China and Hong Kong founded by Wong Kwong Yu in 1987, adopting the "Gome" brand name in 1993. It listed in Hong Kong in 2004, and in 2008 police revealed that Wong was being investigated for stock manipulation. He resigned in early 2009 and was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Gome expects earnings to improve
Mainland home appliance firm says integration of online and physical shops will boost margins
Most Popular
Gome Electrical Appliances expects a rebound in gross profit margin this year although its e-commerce business will remain a liability in the short term. With the company teaming up with Alibaba's consumer shopping site Tmall to boost internet sales, the second-largest home appliance retailer on the mainland is hopeful that its e-commerce business could break even by the end of the year.
"We will bring up the proportion of our highly profitable goods from 20 per cent to 30 per cent of overall sales," Gome's chief financial officer Victor Fang Wei said.
"With our earlier initiatives to integrate resources of our online and physical shops, we hope to bring our gross profit margin to 18 per cent. While it is likely to stay below the 2011 level, we should see an obvious rebound from last year."
The company's consolidated gross profit margin fell nearly 2 percentage points last year to 16.18 per cent.
Suning, a major competitor of Gome, launched a campaign last month to bring product prices at its retail shops down to the level of its online stores. But Fang said that was not feasible and Gome would not follow suit.
"If you look carefully, the so-called same pricing in fact applies to two different models of the same product, or, these products are forever out of stock," he said. "It is impossible to apply the same pricing on two entirely different sales platforms."
Fang said Gome still had room to lower product prices without resorting to such a strategy. The company had reduced costs since it began sharing logistics, after-sales and membership systems for its online and retail sectors this year.
While the company will add 10 to 20 retail outlets this year, Fang said the chain's total floor area would drop by about 50,000 square metres because the new stores were smaller than those that would be closed.
Gome, which pledged to develop a multichannel business model, said yesterday it was applying for one of the six new telecommunications licences the central government planned to offer this year.
Gome exited Hong Kong's retail market this year because of intense competition and high rents.

Nicole Kidman has claimed she "never regretted" marrying Tom Cruise and that they had a "fantastic marriage" for a long time before they split after 11 years together in 2001.
Tom's recent divorce from Katie Holmes has thrown out much speculation about his previous marriage to Nicole Kidman, especially as both women were 33 when they filed for divorce.
Though Nicole stayed quiet during Tom and Katie's split, speaking to Australian WHO magazine recently she reportedly praised her former husband and claimed to have had a "fantastic marriage".
"I married [Tom] really fast and really young, but I don't regret that because it got me Bella and Connor, and I did have a fantastic marriage for a long period," she claimed.
Admitting the split had been tough she went on: "Then when it didn't work out, I had to really dig deep and find my way through depression, but I have no regrets about all of it."
The couple were married in 1990 and adopted two children with the 'Top Gun' actor, Isabella and Connor. They starred in 'Days of Thunder' and 'Eyes Wide Shut' before separating in 2001. Speaking of how difficult the split was on her the star confessed.
"There were times following [the divorce] when I thought, 'Wow, this is the loneliest, loneliest existence.
"But with Tom, it was a fantastic decade. I wish all of the people that have been involved in my life well, because it's very important to me to be in a place of forgiveness and love."
Adding the relationship was, "all a part of growing up."
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise (WENN)
Previously Kidman admitted that she sacrificed a lot to be with Tom, who became a megastar during their marriage. In 2011 she told Marie Claire.
"I was never seeking to be a celebrity, but I was prepared to do that for love," she said. "It's hard when you're young. But I'm ready to give up anything for love because, ultimately, that is what you have."
She added: "You get so much from a relationship when it is filled with love."
Was attention a factor in Tom and Katie's relationship ending? Katie and her daughter Suri receive constant paparazzi attention and since the split the actress is said to want to give her daughter a more "normal life" has moved to a modest apartment in New York and enrolled her previously home schooled daughter in school.

Real Estate Technology expert and Lucernex President, Joe Valeri (see Joe's management summary here), discusses why IWMS vendors can't be both Legacy and Cloud.
Cloud delivered software has a huge advantage over legacy software; one that can never be overcome. It is the same advantage companies that adopted the electrical grid in the 20's and 30's had over their competitors who held fast to making their own electricity with water wheels, steam and the like1. There simply is no way a legacy software vendor, who requires 100% of their product to be dedicated to one customer per installation, can possibly compete with the shared Cloud on cost nor can a legacy product that is limited to its set of hardware possibly perform anywhere near as well as the infinitely scalable Cloud. The Cloud will always be much faster, much cheaper and is now at least as secure.
Read Cloud and SaaS are NOT the same!
As a result, legacy IWMS vendors are trying to move as quickly as they can to become, or to make people believe that they are, a Cloud provider. The recent Gartner IWMS Magic Quadrant included a number of legacy vendors trying to recast themselves as Cloud or SaaS providers; but is it really possible to switch from being a legacy provider to a cloud provider in a matter of a few months or years?
Pick your idiom, they all provide the same answer, NO, a legacy vendor cannot become a Cloud vendor in a matter of months or even years especially a large legacy vendor with lots of legacy clients. Here are just a few of the obvious reasons:
It's a black box to most of us but the architecture of software is the heart of how it operates – its speed, its capabilities, its security, etc… A Cloud product is architected from day 1 to utilize the shared, infinitely scalable Cloud. All legacy IWMS products were architected long before there was a "Cloud" and were designed to be installed for a single customer at a time, behind the customer firewall and customized to fit the customers network. You can't change a legacy IWMS products architecture to be a Cloud product, you have to start over, from scratch. And, no matter what you might be hearing from some IWMS vendors, no product can be both legacy (installed on-premise) and Cloud.
Revenue model
All of the legacy IWMS vendors built their businesses and their client base by charging a large up front fee to license, install and implement their solutions inside the client network. This includes their software, hardware, third party licenses, networking and a host of other fees. Changing the way decades old companies do business is not trivial. Details that seem as simple (and are not) as changing the way sales people are compensated or as complex as how to change investor expectations and messaging don't happen quickly.
Business Model
Cloud products are built from day 1 to take advantage of the efficiency of shared resources to deliver a very low and predictable total cost of ownership (TCO) with infinite scalability and the fastest possible performance. Cloud providers do not need to develop the massive staff and infrastructure that is required for legacy product installations, testing or support. Changing from legacy to Cloud, even if the legacy vendor was willing to make the massive investment in re writing their entire application, would take years. No IWMS software vendor can operate both a legacy operation and Cloud operation at the same time – it's just not financially feasible. And what about your legacy client base that is paying you annual maintenance? The Legacy IWMS vendor needs to either abandon them (many of you have experienced this recently) or try to convert them to a new Cloud or SaaS platform while it is being feverishly built. Neither is a good choice for the legacy customer.
Implementation model
The dirty little secret of legacy IWMS vendors – the real money is in the implementation. If you look at the staff mix of most legacy IWMS vendors you would see that more than half of their staff, often close to 75%, are professional services associates. Since installing their software requires months to years of on site work by a team of people, they have built staffs in house to capture that revenue. Cloud implementations do not need huge implementation teams, take weeks not months and Cloud vendors do not have or want large implementation staffs. What does the legacy vendor do with that staff when trying to become a Cloud provider and how do they live without what currently represents 30% to 70% of their revenue?
Support Model
Legacy IWMS vendors are, for the most part, not known for their excellent customer service. This is not to say all legacy vendors provide poor customers service, just that customer service is a "cost center", something they HAVE to do. Cloud software is not installed inside a client firewall and is paid for as it's used. If the customer is not happy, they switch to another vendor without losing huge sums of sunk costs in license fees, hardware and networking purchases, internal staff costs and third party licenses, as is the case with legacy IWMS solutions. As a result, customer service is a critically important area of investment for any Cloud vendor. Success as a Cloud vendor comes from keeping customers, not just winning them.
"Caveat emptor" – Buyer Beware
Cloud washing: Adding "cloud" to the name of hardware or software in order to make it more up-to-date. Starting in the 2008-2009 time frame, cloud computing became a hot IT topic, and a vendor might rename its product to include the word Cloud if it were Internet based in any manner."2
So, Legacy IWMS vendors are trying all types of strategies right now to fend off the change to Cloud that is rapidly happening in the industry, especially the big players. Here are a few tactics that you should be able to see right through:
1. Cloudwashing v1. Vendor takes a legacy product and hosts its for a customer, charges annual 'subscriptions' and calls it Cloud. At best this is SaaS, but its still the same old product with probably worse performance now that it is not deployed as designed. According the Gartner, "In 2014, using legacy software in the cloud will cost the average enterprise in excess of $1 million more than sourcing a cost-effective alternative"3
2. Cloudwashing v2. Vendor takes a legacy product and has a third party host it for customers and calls it Cloud. Same as above only worse since the third party vendor provides support in place of the vendor.
3. A legacy vendor buys SaaS and/or Cloud companies and then touts how a large percentage of their customers are now SaaS. So now they are not doing two things well instead of just delivering a good legacy solution.
4. Legacy vendors convince their client base that they can, in fact, be all things to all retailers by keeping and continuing to sell their legacy system while promising a SaaS or Cloud product soon to replace it. They may actually be rewriting it, but how many years did it take to write the legacy products? Do they even know how to build a cloud product?
5. Legacy vendors tell the market they are so big they can throw money at the problem to solve it and launch a Cloud product in months. Anyone have an example of when that strategy has ever worked?
Shameless Plug
Lucernex is the only TRUE Cloud solution in the Retail IWMS market using a fully virtualized pure cloud environment that ensures near infinite scalability, the fastest possible performance no matter how many users are online and near 100% uptime. We are both SSAE 16 Type II and ISO 9001:2008 certified to ensure optimal security and customer support. We also were honored with the Steve Awards highest award for excellent in customer service in 2013.
