Rita Angus (12 March 1908 – 25 January 1970), known as Rita McKenzie after 1941, was a New Zealand painter. Along with Colin McCahon and Toss Woollaston, she is credited as one of the leading figures in twentieth century New Zealand art. She worked primarily in oil and water colour, and is well known for her portraits and landscapes.[1]
Henrietta Catherine Angus was born on 12 March 1908 in Hastings, the eldest of seven children of William McKenzie Angus and Ethel Violet Crabtree.[2] In 1921, her family moved to Palmerston North and she attended Palmerston North Girls' High School (1922–26). In 1927 she began studying at the Canterbury College School of Art. She never completed her diploma in fine arts but continued to study until 1933. During her studies she was introduced to renaissance and medieval art and received traditional training in life drawing, still life and landscape painting.[1]
She married Alfred Cook, another artist, on 13 June 1930, but in 1934 they separated due to incompatibility,[3] and divorced in 1939. Angus signed many of her paintings as Rita Cook between 1930 and 1946, but after she discovered in 1941 that Alfred Cook had remarried she changed her surname by deed poll to McKenzie, her paternal grandmother's name. As a result, some of her paintings are also signed R. Mackenzie or R. McKenzie, but the majority are signed Rita Angus.[4]
Angus lived mostly in Christchurch during the 1930s and 1940s. In the late 1940s she suffered from mental illness and entered Sunnyside Mental Hospital in 1949. In 1950 she moved to Waikanae to convalesce, and after some more travels around New Zealand she settled in Wellington in 1955.[1]
From December 1969, Angus' condition rapidly deteriorated and she later died in Wellington Hospital of ovarian cancer on 25 January 1970, aged 61.[4]
Among Angus' influences were Byzantine art and cubism.[3] She was also influenced by the English painter Christopher Perkins' 1931 painting of Mount Taranaki, a response to New Zealand's distinctive clear lighting. Her landscapes came in a time when many people were concerned to create a distinctly New Zealand style, but Angus herself was not interested in defining a national style so much as her own style. Her paintings are clear, hard-edged and sharply-defined. In the 1930s and 1940s she painted scenes of Canterbury and Otago. One of the most famous of these is Cass (1936)[5] in which she portrayed the bare emptiness of the Canterbury landscape using simplified forms and mostly unblended colours arranged in sections in a style remiscent of poster art. Cass was voted New Zealand's most loved painting in a 2006 television poll.[6]
For a while, she lived next to the artist Leo Vernon Bensemann. Their adjacent flats became something of a hub of the local art scene and it is said that they spurred each other on in their art. It has been stated that Angus produced some of her finest pieces during this time including many portraits.[7]
Angus' pacifist beliefs can be seen in her art of the 1940s. Angus stated, "As an artist it is my work to create life and not to destroy it."[8] She created three goddess images symbolizing peace of which "Rutu" is the most well known.[8]
In 1955 Angus moved to Wellington. Her landscapes, from this time, focused on Wellington and the Hawke's Bay which she visited regularly.[8] Boats, Island Bay is one such iconic Wellington painting.[5]
Angus painted a large number of portraits, including "Head of a Maori Boy" (1938) and "Portrait (Betty Curnow)" (1942). She was able to capture the personality of her subjects, moving beyond a mere representation of their form.[1] Angus also painted 55 self-portraits.[9]
Angus devoted much of 1960 to the painting of a mural at Napier Girls' High School which can now be seen at the front of the school hall. The mural was commissioned to commemorate the girls who died in the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake.[10]

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Sage Eldercare Inc, Summit, NJ, USA
With the money that was raised for the new building at 290 Broad Street, it should have been used more effectively. There is a large empty building that is dark and much too big for the employees that are working there. Too much wasted space and high operational costs. The salaries of top Administration is very high considering that it is a non-profit and has been running with a very large deficit on an annual basis. Very sad to see such a wonderful organization and Board of Directors make such terrible choices.

I used to work for a talent agency which frowned on employees having a web presence. I started writing under my pseudonym, and it just sort of stuck.
I don't work there anymore (and I was recently outed by another voice over blog lol), but I still pretty much stick to being SomeAudioGuy.
It's sort of like my geeky bloggy web super hero name…
Kevin, I do agree with you up to a certain extent.
However, in my opinion one should put his/her real name as it will help them to build their brand over time.
Codrut – As I explained, a pseudonym can help you build your brand. What difference would it make term if I referred to myself as my real name Kevin Muldoon or some alias like Kevin Connor or Kevin Jones or whatever. If I stick to using that name it wouldn't make a difference to my profile.
Hi Kevin, As a new blogger, I never thought about the benefits of a Pseudonym. As I'm open about my political views, I think it'd be wise not to use my real name. Thanks for the tip.
I've received my fair share of death threats whilst using a pseudonym, but I've started to use my name more often as it is my brand now.
^ Not my real name
I have to say, your take on raising online profile got me thinking. Great stuff here!
Well i chose to use just my first name for many reasons, like the ones you posted.

I'd get kinda confused seeing three R names and then a G or M, but it's absolutely your decision. I'd say try to find more R names, but if the time comes and you just don't love any, then go with what you DO love.I'm not feeling incredibly profound at the moment. Check back later.

Everyone has different opinions about sib-sets. Some people have an every name for every child approach and others, like myself, prefer to look at the group as a whole. It really depends on how you feel about it. I wouldn't be comfortable with 3 R names and then not using one with the fourth. I think with 2 out of four it wouldn't be an issue Rosemary, May, Roderick and Gideon for example but if you had Rosemary, Raphael, Roderick and May it just doesn't seem intentional or cohesive. I will also say that I wish we would have thought more about sib-sets when naming our first child because it really does affect future name choices.Mama to: Lilla Clare 12/09 | Vivienne Grace 03/12 | Tess Magnolia 10/15

I have the same dilemma though for me I already broke my theme. I had 3 kids with 1-syllable names. We named our 4th child Katharine with the idea of calling her Kate. That didn't happen; she ended up Katie. I tried calling her Kate but she doesn't care for it and now goes by her full name. The problem for me, is that I still like single-syllable names most. When we had number 5, I had the dilemma of "fixing my set" and going with a longer name to "match" Katharine or picking my favorite name. We went with my favorite - James - even though that has "left" Katharine as the only one with the "long" name. When I post about future names it's clear that some nameberries are bothered by how Katharine's name sticks out while others hardly blink.#7 due in June!

Personally I view it as "sloppy" and it just looks "odd" like the last child was left out. So I would stick with the theme, but it is your decision. You'll have to be careful though because the child will be the youngest and his/her older R siblings might tease him/her for not have an R name. Also they might feel left out.

Does a SAHM need a housekeeper?
If they want to, sure! :) My child is almost 18, and there is only three of us in our home, but my husband offers to hire a housekeeper for me on a weekly basis.
My next door neighbor is also a SAHM. She has a housekeeper, a cook, and a gardener. She also has a mother's helper three days a week. It's the lifestyle they choose to lead. :)
i wouldn't, but i don't care if someone else does it. at the very least they're creating job opportunity!

Your official information source from the .NET Web Development and Tools group at Microsoft.
I've written a few blog posts on how to exclude files from publishing/packaging. In each of these posts you'd have to be familiar with MSBuild and the Web Publish process. I've been looking for a much simpler way to exclude files/folder from publishing.
When using git you can easily exclude files and folders using a .gitignore file. Inside the .gitignore file on each line you can add a pattern that matches files/folders to be excluded from the repository. For example take a look at the sample .gitignore file below.
# Folders to ignore #
# Known files to ignore always #
In the .gitignore file above you can see how easy it is to exclude files and folders from publishing.
I thought it would be cool if we had the ability to exclude items from publishing this easily. Now we do!
I've created a NuGet package which solves this exact issue. With a web project opened try out the following.
You should see that the publish operation skips the files and folders which match the patterns in publish.ignore.
Some notes regarding the implementation here. The publish.ignore file is only supported at the root folder. .gitignore has support to drop .gitignore files in the root as well as subfolders. Currently publish.ignore is not supported in sub folders. This is something that can be implemented if there is enough interest here.
You may be wondering why I named the file "publish.ignore" instead of .publishignore. The reason for this is that on Windows it is difficult to create file names which do not have a string prefixing the extension. You can create these files through the command line, but not through Windows Explorer or VS.
This project is all open source at https://github.com/ligershark/publish-ignore. If you have any problems you can file an issue there, and if you like you can contribute to the code as well!
If this is something that you'd like to see in the box please email me and let us know email@example.com

Doesnt work for me.

Doesn't work for me either - same problem as below.
Hi Daz/Jim, I had a couple issues with the initial release. I've since updated the release to ensure you don't run into that bug. Can you try again?
FYI for items like this it would be better to open an issue on the project page github.com/.../issues. That way you can also track progress on those items.
So Cool !!! Thanks for all the effort you put into this. Love it :)
I just wanted to say thank you for the work you put into this. This does exactly what I need!!
Unfortunately this does not work for Visual Studio WebSite project types!
I've just tested it... I hope this is useful for anyone else looking for a solution to avoid

TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA -- I recently started a new 2 yrs contract with Verizon. On my 2nd bill I was 4 days late paying the bill. I was charged a late payment fees. I called Verizon to ask to reverse the charge since we are new customers and are not aware of the penalty. To my surprise, they did not want to do it. I am so disappointed with the customer service they have. If I have a choice. So much so that I think if I have a choice, I'll definitely bring my business elsewhere. Too bad I am stuck with a 2 yrs contract for now. If only I had known of such lousy customer service.
WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA -- I immediately noticed problems with my reception on my phone. I discussed this with the agents at their Oleander Drive Verizon location. They acknowledged there is a problem with the phone. It drops calls and breaks up during conversations. They told me the problem was going to be fixed by Samsung and a software update would be coming out soon. They would not give me an estimate time of repair. I called the 800 number and spoke with an agent. They did not know there was a problem with the phone. I Googled it and found indeed there is a problem.
I went back to the store. They told me they couldn't exchange it because I had passed the 14-day deadline for return/exchange. I told them they should have not sold the product, as they continue to do, if they know there is a reception problem. I asked to speak to a manager. They told me they would allow an exchange for a phone of their choice. Previously, I waited for contract renewal time so I could pick the best newly released phone. Now they are telling me I have lost that option. Something is wrong with a company of this size or any size treating customers like this when they are being honest and upholding their contract obligations. I feel as if I have been tricked.
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA -- A few weeks ago I dropped my cell phone and it broke. My service is with Verizon and has been for several years. We have four users on the plan. My phone was very simple, nothing fancy because I am not a huge cell phone user, mostly for needing to contact family or friend if I am not at home. We are currently on a month to month basis and do not want to renew for a two year period because they no longer offer the plan we had.
I went to Walmart and purchased a phone for $85.00 that was a pay as you go Verizon. I took it to a Verizon store and asked that they activate it to my number. Guess what!! They would not do that. I could purchase a phone at their store or their pre-owed website. Well, unless you sign up for a new two year contract, the price on the pre-owned is ridiculous. I could also use the pay as you go for six months and then they would activate it on my account. If you will do it after six months, why not to begin with and I am sure after six months they probably have some kind of ridiculous fee.
I called their customer service 800 number and got someone that sounded as if they were reading from a script. At first I could hear him well and then for some reason the sound was lost and I had to strain to hear every word. When I told him this, he asked if I was holding the phone to my ear. Customer Service, I think not; and there is not a corporate address or corporate phone number to go to a higher level.
SCHERERVILLE, INDIANA -- I have been harassed by Verizon every month for a few years on my payment history. I would like to hear from someone if they are experiencing the same from Verizon. Plus let me add that with each customer service rep you will hear a different explanation, which scares the heck out me that a company in the US can get away with poor representation from within.
First I receive emails, text messages that my account is past due and with the threat of disconnection. Now mind you I have never carry a past due amount more than 30 days, and since I do not pay on the due date I am charge a late fee which is my right but why am I am receiving the disconnection notices whereas I will be charged the 15.00 to reconnect. With each phone call I hear a different reason that never makes sense to me since I have been in the accounting field for the past 30 years. AM I NUTS....
I have been with Verizon for about nine years, and was always fairly satisfied with the service even though I have always thought their prices too high. I went over my minutes one month, and was talked into upgrading, which I did. I was given some bonus minutes which seemed to work well. Maybe I just wasn't listening well, but I did not realize that these minutes were only temporary, and I went over quite a bit when they were removed.
When I called, I was told that I could upgrade and would be forgiven the overage. Well, after I upgraded, I was told that I had not responded quickly enough or properly, so I was only given a small credit. At this point I was falling further and further behind. I tried to pay a little extra each month, but could never catch up (Checking on the minutes used is a farce, and info never correct). Last month I was told I could pay $100 by a certain date and then another amount at the beginning of the month. I always pay online but my net was down, so I paid the $100 at the store in the machine and did not take the receipt.
At the beginning of the month I made another payment. Lo and behold, my phone was shut off. I have been to the store, talked to reps, emailed, and have gotten no satisfaction. The last communication I got said I would not get credit for the payment because I could not prove I had made it. When I told them I wanted to cancel they started telling me they would have to talk to me on the phone not the computer (I like to get things in writing). They finally said I could pay the whole bill off and then get a one time $60 credit, and when the contract was up I could downgrade. I feel I have been manipulated and taken advantage of.
My plan calls for unlimited minutes and unlimited texting and after all the "extra" charges are added each month I wind up with a $170 bill. That is crazy! My cancellation fee is $175, plus the huge bill I still owe. I do not know if they have a payment plan if I cancel or if I can expect the phone police at my door!? I think I can get two prepaid phones with unlimited services for about $90 a month? I could pay for this and make a payment to Verizon and still eventually come out ahead. I am hoping other companies will start offering cheaper services and put a hurting on Verizon. Please do careful research before using Verizon.
This is a review approved by over 100 residents of a community called "Mount Vintage Plantation" (used to be a vineyard) in a hilly area of South Carolina. MV Plantation's post office address is North Augusta, SC but its physical location is nearer to Edgefield, SC. For some years, Alltel was the only company with a tower in the area. Verizon bought out Alltel, but didn't buy Alltel's tower. Verizon leased the tower for a few months, but now has lost the lease. Our service went from great with Alltel, to horrible with Verizon.
You can be sitting still, NOT MOVING, with 5 bars showing on your cell phone. Suddenly, without a move on your part, your cell phone will drop your call, and insist, "Leaving service area" as it drops your call (AGAIN!). In a few minutes, your Verizon phone may, or may not, decide to let you have service again. Dropped calls, within at least a 10 mile radius of Mount Vintage, are common, indeed, mandatory. It WILL happen.
If you're lucky, maybe a text message will go through. Verizon offered to sell us EACH a $200+ piece of equipment to "make a mini-tower in your house." That is fine, but MV is 40000 acres. Many of us hike, or ride horses, or golf on MV property. As of this time, we effectively have ZERO cell phone coverage. I plan to cancel my Verizon plan; after all, they can take money from me, but can't provide me with service. Might as well have a phone you like, since I won't' have phone service, anyway.
For now, if you have an Alltel phone, and if you DO NOT upgrade the software to Verizon or go to a Verizon plan, you have SOME service. However, anyone who is dumb enough to do as I did, and upgrade the software to Verizon, you're toast. No phone service. Guaranteed dropped calls, frequently and persistently. I am strongly considering ATT. OK, so they aren't known for great service either, but I could get an iPhone. However, I have to say that their telephone customer service has been terrific; very nice, attempted to be very helpful.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- Verizon had a slam dunk. I needed to change from my corporate phone and I had learned that AT&T did not work in my apartment complex through experience. I went to the local Verizon store to buy a service plan and a phone. I made a few critical mistakes. I went initially on a Tuesday with a basic need for info. After a few minutes, I left with (a) their catalog; (b) the info that none of their Droid demo phones were working; and (c) the business card of the person who provided this information.
I came back on Saturday needing to complete a transaction. I handed the business card to a different associate and learned that (a) the original associate would be in later, and (b) until then, no one could help me because associates work on commission. After pondering the situation for a while, I determined my intent to go to plan B (Best Buy or other) at which point a sales associate was willing to consider my request. My key need, beside a functioning phone with e-mail access, was transfer of my contact lists from my Blackberry. "No problem", I was assured.
A few hundred dollars later, I possessed a new phone and plan provided with grudging assistance. 45 minutes later I learned that they could not actually transfer my contacts because the new phone was too new and Verizon did not have compatible software. This discovery process was somewhat uncomfortable because I have neuropathy and the Verizon store does not have chairs. Both painful and debilitating as well as non-functional.
There were a number of offers posted around the store that were not honored (2 phones for 1, a bundle including Bluetooth). Naturally, I went to Verizon's website to post a comment/question to their customer service.
Unfortunately, selecting the option to send them an e-mail results in a non-responsive browser. I will be harassing Verizon to get them to honor their promises and solve their technical problems with Motorola. In the meantime, my lessons learned are (a) do not rely on Verizon's sales associates to be professional; (b) do not rely on Verizon and their providers to be compatible, and (c) do not expect Verizon to be accessible. Next time - 3rd party seller and consider other options. Since I am within Verizon's 30-day return window (for $35 fee), this may be my choice.
LAGUNA NIGUEL, CALIFORNIA -- Do not make the mistake of thinking Verizon will give you a new phone if the original phone has a flaw. I bought my phone and used it for a short time. It developed static in the transmission to the extent that people at the other end of the call asked me to call them back, the reception was so bad. Verizon provided me with a "reconditioned, like new" phone. It had the same problem and I sent it back. I was given another "reconditioned, like new" phone. It had the same problem so I took it to the sales manager of the Laguna Niguel, CA store.
After too long, he told me "if you try one more "reconditioned, like new phone" I promise that if it still doesn't work, I will give you a new phone". He said that in the presence of a salesperson. I received my third "reconditioned, like new" phone and it had the same problem. I returned to the Sales Manager who told me that he really didn't mean he would give me a "new" phone - he would give me another "refurbished, like new" phone of a different type. He was replaced in the discussions by his associate, another manager. That person continued the same story - even when we confirmed the offer of a "new" phone with the salesperson.
Thus after 4 failed phones, we still could not get a new phone, only a "reconditioned, like new" phone after being given the double talk that it was NEW TO US! As an aside, when we sent our useless phone back for the third time, the FedEx store clerk said "oh, you must be another Verizon customer. We have many of these returns every day." So, I have the same junk phone. A disgust for Verizon and its staff and a contract I can't get out of - even with the problems I've had. Don't use Verizon! T-Mobile and Metro PCS are better, cheaper alternatives!
My husband and I went to get my phone line switched to a separate account from my mom and dad's shortly after we got married. After several assurances that removing my phone line from my parent's plan wouldn't effect their plan, the people who handled our account reduced the minutes my parents had on their account. Further, we got the minimal number of text messages for each month because we don't text often, but we did want some coverage and were told that the plan would cover 250 text messages shared between our phone.
Three months later, we got a phone call about urgent information regarding our account because 57 text messages had been sent from my phone and my phone had no texting plan. We had been told the texting plan was shared between our phones. Further, our bills have been $40/month higher than we were quoted in the store every month.
The first month we could understand because there are always a lot of extra charges the first month, but it has been $40 over every month. We were told we would be under a one year contract. And when we called to find out why our bills were so high, we asked how long we still had on our contract because we intend to change phone companies as soon as possible because of all of this.
Our contract is set up as a two year contract, even though we were told it was only a one year contract. Further, they haven't been sending us monthly paper bills even though we requested it. We just found out it was because they mixed our addresses and had our P. O. box listed as our physical address. A week into our plan, they messed up the security settings on my phone and I spent four hours talking to people trying to get them to fix my phone so I could make outgoing calls. Overall, we have had a horrible experience with Verizon.
I received a bill from Verizon of $63.58 for 10 days of use (7 calls, less than 100 minutes use). When I returned the phone, I did get a full refund. Although the manager was technically correct in her wording, was demeaning in attitude and behavior, and putting as many obstacles in my way as she could possibly do. Definitely hostile.
I had bought the Motorola Droid cell phone from Verizon on 12/15/09. Was concerned that the coverage will work at my home office location (but there was no 3G at my location, & only 1 to 2 bars signal strength for minimum service). Salesman had showed me on a map that the Verizon coverage was good, saying that since Verizon always uses three cell sites for access, the reception is always very good (not true). He said there would be no charges if returned within 30 days, except for a few dollars for the time the service is actually used.
I found right away that there was no 3G coverage at my location (High speed), but I spent a few days testing it out, and trying to get it to work for me. Due to heavy traffic before Christmas, I waited until 12/26/09 to return the phone.
I called billing on 1/7/10 when I got the bill for $63.58, and found the charges include a $35 activation fee, which salesman had said would be waived (but it turns out the fine print said 3 days: oops, ALWAYS read the contract!) and a partial payment of the $39.99 monthly fee. I had the phone only ten days [$39.99/3=$13.34 + $35 is only $48.34, add some gov fees and it might be $53? but not the $63.58 they billed].
I asked the supervisor to remove the charges, since all this use was only for testing the service. She declined, saying it was legal. I told her: "You can justify your behavior any way you want. But you're a crook. Have a nice day" and hung up. I do not recommend Verizon wireless or the Droid phone, which turned out to be more lengthy or difficult for most things than the iPhone (which has a rolling ONE year backward search limit in calendar!), which I was REALLY hoping to replace with the Droid. So, I'm hoping my $63.58 lesson will not be for nothing if others take heed.

Source: Mike Kafka works out for Patriots
Posted by Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff September 4, 2012 01:57 PM
The Patriots had quarterback Mike Kafka in for a workout recently, an NFL source confirms to the Globe's Shalise Manza Young. The workout was first reported by Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports.
Kafka was among 19 players cut by the Philadelphia Eagles last week. The 25-year-old out of Northwestern has appeared four regular-season games in two seasons, going 11-for-16 for 107 yards and two interceptions. He was selected in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
The Patriots released quarterback Brian Hoyer last week, meaning Ryan Mallett is now Tom Brady's backup.

I just purchased a Brooks Imperial online and there are more wrinkles near the rivets than I was expecting. Is it supposed to look like this or should I return it? Below are pictures of rivets on both sides of the saddle. Thanks!

should be fine just a few stretch marks when you proofhide it all will be well.
That looks like an imperfection in the leather. Do as you please, but know, that spot is likely weaker than the rest of the saddle.
A couple of rivits on mine have looked like that for many years.They actually got a little flatter/smaller as time and shoe polish and my ass was applied.
Everything should be as simple as possible...But not more so.---Albert Einstein
they just picked one at random from their inventory and shipped itI just purchased a Brooks Imperial online
Spend more money then.. say you want a hand picked for no wrinkles one ,
send it back, maybe the seller will help with return shipping costs, maybe not.
OR, the bigger hand set copper rivets come at higher price point, specify that .
You wanted to save money , so got the machine set nickel plated brass ones.
I bet you cannot see those while you are riding the bike
and seeing, instead, where you are going.

I don't think that it has any relevance, but I moved to Sweden 3 months ago, and purchased it from a German company.

Just got to ask (because Ebay purchases can always be trusted) but is it possible that this isn't a Brooks saddle, perhaps is a knockoff?
I would agree it is weaker. My reasoning is that the rivet is not evenly supported in the leather. I hadn't thought about the hide being thinner there, just that it might not have even bearing, or there is separation in the leather. I sure wouldn't pick that saddle in a setting where I got to examine it first. That does not meet the cosmetic expectations I would have for a Brooks saddle. I am not sure how proofhide would help. It isn't supposed to allow leather to stretch, which is what would be required, or shrink.
Proofhide wouldn't help at all. It is strictly for hydrating the leather and weatherproofing it. If anything, you could argue that Proofhide (and the likes) would actually make a weak spot worse, causing it to stretch more.

INDIANAPOLIS -- One of the perks of being a journalist is getting the opportunity to interview people you admire, respect, fear, loathe, agree/disagree with or sometimes just plain don't care about.
I've been a car racing enthusiast since I was 9 years old, so having the chance to talk to drivers, engineers, crew members, team principals, series officials and fans on a regular basis is a privilege. We've had some great conversations on and off the record over the years, and I'm lucky that a few people I once considered heroes I can now call friends.
There are exceptions, of course. My favorite race car driver when I was a kid was three-time Formula One world champion Niki Lauda, and when I finally got the chance to spend a few minutes with "The Rat" in 1999 he lived up to his reputation as a bit of a well, rat. But for every less-than-stellar experience like that, there have been positive encounters with the likes of Mario Andretti and Rick Mears that more than made up for it.
One of the challenges of interviewing is being able to ask all the questions you want, mainly because of time constraints. If you have 15 minutes scheduled with somebody and a list of 15 questions, you're not going to get them all in, especially with interview subjects who stray off topic or launch into their own agenda and effectively seize control of the interview.
With that in mind, here are some questions that I've never been able to ask key characters in the Izod IndyCar Series, whether because of lack of time, lack of opportunity or just plain professional decorum. Some are serious, some are tongue-in-cheek and some are just plain cheeky
" To IndyCar boss Randy Bernard: Just how badly does the IndyCar Series need Marco Andretti and Graham Rahal to win races?
Since USAC racing has proved to be an effective path to NASCAR over the last 20 years, do you really believe that USAC drivers still care about racing Indy cars?
Would you rather ride a rodeo bull into the ring or strap into a race car for some hot laps at Indianapolis Motor Speedway?
" To Ryan Briscoe and Will Power: As Australians, do you really like the taste of Vegemite?
" To their legendary team owner, Roger Penske: When was the last time you got eight consecutive hours of sleep?
Are you really the most powerful man in Detroit?
" To Penske's chief rival, Chip Ganassi: Do the constant comparisons between you and Penske piss you off?
Is there a nice side to you that most of us don't know about?
" To fellow team owner Kevin Kalkhoven: What was the tab for KV Racing Technology's 40-odd crashes in 2010?
How many air miles do you rack up on your Gulfstream in an average year?
When was the last time you flew commercial?
" To Indy Racing League founder Tony George: How much of your family's fortune did you really spend on forming and sustaining the IRL?
Was it worth it?
How did you celebrate hammering that final nail into the coffin of CART/Champ Car?
Why did you walk away from leadership of the IRL after you won the war?
" To Danica Patrick: Are you really enjoying the NASCAR experience, or is it just a calculated cash-grab?
If it wasn't your fault, who was to blame for your poor qualifying performance at Indianapolis in 2010?
Are you really happy with the risqué image that sponsor GoDaddy.com has bestowed upon you?
" To Tony Kanaan: After eight years with the four-car Andretti Autosport mega-team, will it be a relief to downsize to de Ferran Dragon Racing's single-car operation?
Was Danica really as bad a teammate at AA as it looked like from the outside?
" To Milka Duno: Are you aware of the amount of scorn and ridicule you receive from the media and your fellow drivers?
With your dismal track record, do you really think you deserve to be allowed to compete in a top-level racing series?
" To Marco Andretti: If you lost your ride with your dad's team, would you be willing or able to put in the amount of work that Graham Rahal did in 2010 to continue his Indy car career?
" To Michael Andretti: Do you think that the environment between the drivers on your team is as toxic as it appears to outsiders?
Will that culture improve in 2011 without Kanaan in the mix, or will it take another year to clear up because it's actually Patrick's fault?
Did the team lose the plot on track the last few years because former drivers Dario Franchitti and Bryan Herta were the ones setting up all of the team's cars?
" To Dario Franchitti: Are you mad because you aren't as big a mainstream star as a driver with your record deserves to be?
" To Dan Wheldon: Do you wish the IndyCar Series would revert to running exclusively on ovals?
" To Justin Wilson: How the heck do you fit that 6-foot-4 frame into the tiny cockpit of an Indy car?
I'm sure if any of the above people read this story, they'll have some questions for me. So I'd best start getting ready to come up with some good answers. See you at the track in 2011!

text: How would I go about proving that 8^n - 3^n (n >= 1) is divisible by 5 using mathematical induction? I tried this but I do not think it is right: First, prove that 8^1 - 3^1 is divisible by 5. 8^1 - 3^1 = 5, which is divisible by 5. Second, prove that 8^(k+1) - 3^(k+1) is divisible by 5 if k = n. Notice that 8^(k+1) - 3^(k+1) = 8*(8^k) - 3^k(3). Based on the induction hypothesis, we already know that 8^k - 3^k is divisible by 5. So we end up with 24*(8^k - 3^k), which is always divisible by 5 because the term inside the parenthesis is already divisible by 5. Multiplying that by any number will not change the fact that it is divisible by 5. Am I right here? Thanks.

LAS CRUCES >> The 21st annual Burger Time "Sandra B. McGrath" Golf Tournament will be held from July 10-12.
The tournament was founded in 1993 as a way to raise money to help the football programs of Las Cruces area high schools compete and win at a statewide level, according to the tournament's official website. In 2007, the Burger Time Tournament also began funding all extracurricular programs at Oñate, Mayfield, Centennial and Las Cruces high schools, along with football.
To receive funds raised from sponsorships and sales for the golf tournament, booster clubs for the extracurricular programs must also participate.
Kevin McGrath, the owner of Burger Time, said about 650 golfers participated in the tournament last year, which raised $299,000.
"As long as we (raise) a little bit more this year, we'll be very happy," McGrath said.
McGrath said the money raised by the tournament has helped high school athletic programs succeed in Las Cruces, especially football. High school football teams in Las Cruces have won a total of 14 state championships since 1993.
"We're finally giving the coaches the tools they need to be successful," McGrath said.
Brent Jaquess, the head football coach of Oñate High School, said the Burger Time is important for football and all sports in town.
"It is something that you can circle on your calendar," Jaquess said. "The community will bend over backwards. I'm very excited to be a part of it."

Eat This Now | March 3rd, 2015Red PotatoesGreen GrapesSeedless Mini CucumbersAsparagusKitchen Tip of the Week
Best if used by 03/10/15
Red Potatoes
Peak Season Best Flavor Value Priced
No peeling! The best part about Red Potatoes is that you're supposed to eat them with the skins on. Simply wash, cut and cook. Baby Red potatoes don't even need the cutting step. Dinner prep time win!
Fresh crop Red Potatoes from Florida are beautiful this March with thin, tender skins and vibrant color. They are typically sold loose by the pound. Storage crop Red Potatoes from Idaho and other western states are what you'll find in most 5lb bags, which many retailers are promoting on ad specials. Savings – yay! These reds have nice quality too, just with slightly darker burgundy skins.
Store Potatoes in a dry, cool, dark place. The refrigerator, however, is too cold for storing Potatoes and may mess with their starch to sugar ratios inside the potato which can create a grainy texture once cooked.
Recipe: Cozy Roasted Red Potatoes and Sweet OnionsThis warm and inviting recipe will have your kitchen smelling fantastic as the cold weather persists here in late winter!
- Chop 5 large size washed Red Potatoes into bit size pieces, leaving the skins on.
- Peel then rough chop 1 Sweet Onion
- Toss Onion and Red Potatoes in 3 tbsp Olive Oil in a large mixing bowl
- Season with 2 tsp Penzy's Northwoods Seasoning, re-toss to coat (a blend of dried rosemary, thyme, paprika, coarse salt, black pepper could be a homemade substitute)
- Spread out in 9×13 glass pan or casserole dish.
- Roast at 375 F for about 60 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes for the first ½ hour. The potatoes are done when they can easily be pierced by a fork.
Green Grapes
Peak Season Best Flavor
What does it mean when the Grapes are more yellowish than green? In my experience, yellow hue indicates a very sweet eating berry – yum! But keep Green Grapes refrigerated, especially ones showing some yellow, and eat 'em quick since the more sugar the fruit has the shorter the shelf life will be. Avoid Green Grapes that appear wet and sticky in their package or that feel soft.
You can expect to find sweet-eating peak season Green Seedless Grapes from Chile in stores the next several weeks.
Seedless Mini Cucumbers
Peak Season Best Flavor Value Priced
March will be an excellent time to enjoy Seedless Mini Cucumbers at affordable prices since two producing areas are in season. Canadian greenhouses are just beginning their harvests and Mexican greenhouses are still at their peak. Typically sold in tray packs or bags, you may find them branded as "Crunchers," "Persian Pickles," "One Sweet Mini Cucumbers" or "Mini Cukes."
Recipe: Mini Cucumber Parsley-Cream Cheese Stacks
- Slice Seedless Mini Cucumbers into 1" segments
- Spoon a small dollop of whipped Cream Cheese onto one end
- Season to taste with coarse salt and cracked black pepper
- Chop a few sprigs of Parsley and sprinkle onto the cheese
Peak Season Best Flavor
Recipe: Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bunches
- Pre-heat Oven to 425 F
- Rinse 1lb of fresh Green Asparagus
- Trim off the fibrous bottom portion of the Asparagus (about the last 1″)
- Wrap 5-7 stalks of standard sized Asparagus with 3 strips of Bacon, just overlapping
- Drizzle with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar
- Season with Coarse Salt and Black Pepper
- Place on baking tray, seam side down, and roast for 19-23 minutes until the bacon is cooked to your preference
Kitchen Tip of the Week
How NOT to screw up fresh Asparagus and other FAQs
- How do you choose it? Avoid Asparagus bunches that have an odor, wrinkled spears, spread open tips or soft tips. Look for a healthy green color, though a little purpling is not a problem.
- How do you store it? I simply recommend wrapping a moist paper towel around the stem ends and storing the Asparagus in the refrigerator. Asparagus is highly perishable so use it within a few days of purchase.
- Is the whole spear edible? Cut the tougher bottom portion of the spear off – usually the last 3/4″ to 1-1/2″ that is lighter in color. Or grab the bottom of the stem and the middle of the spear then bend – the Asparagus will snap where the fibrous portion ends.
- Golden Rule for Cooking Asparagus: High Temperature, Short time. This will highlight the flavor without bringing on the mushiness. If you like mushy Asparagus (what! Seriously?), go ahead and cook it to death.
- How do you cook it? The goal is to finish each of these cooking methods with a cooked piece of asparagus that still has some texture and has not gone completely limp.
- Steam or blanch fresh Asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes at most.
- Grill over high heat for 2 to 4 minutes after lightly coating the Asparagus in olive oil and seasoning with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Roast in the oven at 400F lightly tossed in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and seasoned with salt and pepper for 12-18 min or until browned.
- Pan-sear in 2 tbsp olive oil over high heat covered with a lid for 2 minutes, then uncover and flip allowing the other side to blacken for 1 minute.
- Sauté in olive oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, covered.
- Microwave in about 1/4 cup of water for 5 minutes in a tightly covered microwave-safe container.

1530s, from Middle French conférer (14c.) "to give, converse, compare," from Latin conferre "to bring together," figuratively "to compare; consult, deliberate, talk over," from com- "together" (see com-) + ferre "to bear" (see infer). Sense of "taking counsel" led to conference. The meaning "compare" (common 1530-1650) is largely obsolete, but the abbreviation cf. still is used in this sense. Related: Conferred; conferring.

Remember Me
It's a bit ballsy to call an album visionary in this age of hyper-recycling but San Francisco's Broun Fellinis are just that on their new seasonal offering, December (Stylus Quo). This is like the John Coltrane Quartet's softly brilliant Ballads shot with a PixelVision camera. Traditional holiday music gets a skewed, smart workout by Kevin Carnes (aka Professor Borris Carnes) (drums, sampler), David Boyce (aka Black Edgar Kenyatta) (tenor/soprano saxophone, efx, synth) and Kirk Peterson (aka Angel of Redemption or The Redeemer) (electric bass). Around since 1991, the Broun Fellinis excel at what the Art Ensemble of Chicago calls "Great Black Music" – a massive spectrum that incorporates hardnosed jazz, silken soul and all the other nourishing threads black musicians have contributed to the sonic spectrum. And all that richness comes to bear on December.
Their arrangements of overly familiar fare like "Jingle Bells" and "Little Drummer Boy" injects luscious vitality. Like Coltrane's similar strategy on Ballads, this trio both embraces the recognizable melodies while tugging them in all sorts of directions. We are reminded of the endurance of traditional music because of their tenacity in unearthing new side roads and hidden passages in places we thought we knew well. "Carol Of The Bells" has the stratospheric onrush of the best Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, tumbling headlong into a jittery, glitch beat-driven "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" that suggests Boards of Canada after a bowl of meth sprinkled Wheaties. And it's not all Santa and Jesus. Traditional Jewish ditties "Channukah" and "Dreidel" get reworked in a way not seen outside of John Zorn's Masada. "Dreidel," in particular, spins on a wholly new axis, with Carnes' wide-angle drumming and a skittering Augustus Pablo-esque reggae shuffle that transforms into a pile-driving skip that dances with Peterson's patient, cavernous bass and Boyce's winged soprano sax. If it all halts a little abruptly with "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," that's just fine. The end is often sudden and always definitive, a dark punctuation mark on every life, every season, every year.

Future generations will want to study Barack Obama's presidency, not only because he made history by being America's first black President, but because he also appears to be on track to be America's worst President. Sure, everybody wants to know the minute details of what Abe Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt did in the White House, but how many Americans are clamoring for the full story of the U.S. Grant or Jimmy Carter presidencies?
That's a shame, too, because those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it and it's not certain that America could survive another incompetent of Obama's caliber in charge -- although, in all fairness, Rome made it through quite a few emperors who were probably only marginally more on the ball than Obama, so perhaps I'm being overly pessimistic.
In any case, one day` when future generations of Americans are studying chapters of their American history books like, "No longer a Super Power: The Long Slide Down" or alternately, "Why We're Eating Our Own Shoe Leather Now," I'd like to think that articles like this one will be helpful for them.
In no particular order:
20) In another historic first, Obama has opened up the possibility that members of the party out-of-power now may be arrested and thrown in jail over political disagreements -- in this case, over the legality of waterboarding, making terrorists tired, and making them swleeeeeepy!
Granted, policies of that sort have consistently led to retaliatory arrests, bloodshed, and even revolution in other countries, but since Obama is repeating many of FDR's failed plans, the fact that these schemes have led to disaster since before even the days of the Roman Empire probably isn't going to phase him.
19) In another great moment for the presidency, Barack Obama publicly referred to his own country as "arrogant" while he was in Strasbourg, France. Jeremiah Wright must be so proud!
18) In what appeared to be an effort to undercut the nationwide anti-tax Tea Parties that occurred on April 15th, Janet Napolitano released a report that encouraged law enforcement agencies to be wary of military veterans and,

BARNSTABLE – A Brockton man was sentenced to prison Tuesday in Barnstable District Court for attacking and stealing from the same woman in two separate incidents in March and June.
Robert McDonough, 50, pleaded guilty to larceny from a person and four counts of assault and battery. He was sentenced to 18 months in the Barnstable County Correctional Facility with 60 days to serve and the balance suspended during two years of probation.
On March 25, police responded to the parking lot of the Dunkin' Donuts on Route 28 in West Yarmouth for a report of a past robbery and assault, according to a police report.
The victim told police that earlier in the day, McDonough, whom she knows, had broken into her house, beaten her up and stolen her belongings, the report says. The victim had visible injuries to her nose and forearm, according to the report.
When McDonough was arrested, pieces of the victim's jewelry as well as the victim's cellphone were found on him, according to the report. He was charged with unarmed robbery, which was later amended to larceny from a person, and assault and battery.
On June 5, the same victim went to police to report that she and McDonough had been arguing and he had "grabbed ahold of her and shoved her back down on the couch" when she tried to leave, according to a separate police report.
The victim got away, but while she was walking along Route 28, McDonough pulled up in his car, got out and dragged the victim to the car, according to the report. This happened twice before McDonough finally left, according to the report.
During a police interview, McDonough said, "Well, she should have gotten in the car." McDonough was charged with three counts of assault and battery.
According to police, McDonough has dozens of arrests on his record, including charges of attempted murder, assault and battery and restraining order violations.

TOM (object-oriented programming language)
|The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (May 2010)
TOM was an object-oriented programming language developed in the 1990s that built on the lessons learned from Objective-C. The main purpose of TOM was to allow for "unplanned reuse" of code via a well-developed extension mechanism. This concept was introduced seemingly by accident in Objective-C and later proved to be of wide use, and was applied aggressively in TOM.
The primary changes in TOM are the addition of multiple inheritance, tuples as a first-class part of the language, cleaner syntax, free of the C requirements for header files and pre-compiler commands, and the ability to use categories (the re-use mechanism) to include anything.
It is this latter ability that represents "the whole idea". Unlike Objective-C's categories that allowed only new methods to be built onto existing classes, TOM allowed the addition of class and instance variables, new methods, even new superclasses. This results in the redefinition of "class" as "a class is defined by its main definition and any extensions", these extensions have become a first-class citizen of the language (similarly to Ruby).
Development of the TOM language has ceased.
Hello World[edit]
