McDonald's re-names stores Macca's in Australia Day PR stunt
Thirteen McDonald's restaurants around the country will undergo a name-change to Macca's in an Australia Day-related PR stunt.
The fast food stores will be given the Australian nickname for the restaurant, with new store signage.
Chief marketing officer Mark Lollback told The Daily Telegraph: "What better way to show Aussies how proud we are to be a part of the Australian community than change our store signs to the name the community has given us."
The name change stunt will run until February 4, when the stores will return to normal.
The first name change will start from today at Engadine in the Sutherland Shire, NSW and at Brisbane's Kangaroo Point. The roll-out will continue throughout Sydney to Bondi Beach, Gladesville, Glenmore Park and Thornleigh as well as Victorian, South Australian and WA signage on Thursday.
The campaign will run across digital, print, outdoor, social media and PR. The campaign is backed by an ad created by DDB.

Very clever marketing I think, I quite like it
Nothing says 'true blue Aussie' like an American franchise burger chain selling Big Macs, French Fries and cookies…!
"American franchise … chain"
Emotive nonsense. McDonald's Australia has for over forty years done more to teach young Australians the value of hard work and the rewards of enterprise than a thousand TAFEs, colleges and universities.
Here is a UK version from 2 years ago:
Very similar, just not Aussie.
@paul the freelance writer they might have taught them the value of hard work but it is a pity they didn't pay them fairly for it don't you think?
aaaaah Groucho youre back behind your desk i see. where would we be with out the Queen of the keyboard warriors..?… welcome back!….
Yeah Paul, it's great that giant multi-nationals have forced the closure of all the small business that used to employ young people, leaving them with no option but to sweat it out in those disgusting Maccas production lines. It's fantastic how they're 24 hours too, so school kids are forced into unhealthy sleeping habits. Because it's not like that's an extreme detriment to the development, at a time when their bodies need the most rest of their lives.
They earn more than teenagers curled up on the couch, Groucho. Or studying Marxism at university, for that matter.
Do they need the apostrophe?
Love it.
Apparently the restaurant belongs to a guy named Macca @KateRichardson
@paul the freelance writer … Yes, a pox upon all those damn universities for turning out all those doctors, nurses, teachers and engineers… Far better to be a fat prick eating this muck…
@paul the freelance writer.. …'They earn more than teenagers curled up on the couch, Groucho. Or studying Marxism at university, for that matter"
How silly of me not to realise that makes it right.
And Marx was a good writer, perhaps you could benefit from a little reading.
It's normally called McDonald's, with an apostrophe, so it makes sense to have it as Macca's. That said, it was Richard and Maurice McDonald who started the restaurant, so it probably should have been McDonalds', then Maccas'.
@paul the freelancer, is most of your freelance work writing press releases for McDonald's? What a load of garbage The only way McDonald's has taught " the value of hard work and the rewards of enterprise" is by encouraging pimply teenagers to get a decent education lest they end up flipping burgers, wiping down tables, and cleaning toilets into their twenties and thirties.
Ah great to see Mumbrella's community at it's finest.
Everyone is certainly back from their well earned break over the festive period…
Love and hugs all round
I love lamp.
Extremely clever and I hope it's done with regard with a combination of top grossing stores and top awarded stores, which usually factor together.
Glad to see you guys are on a roll…
It's Vinnies and deja vue all over again I say
If they really wanted to do something "Aussie" they'd give back Bakery Hill in Ballarat (the site of Eureka) the so imperialistically subsumed
PS @Paul The Freelance Writer – could you possibly change your moniker – I get you confused with the other same-named pro writers – thanx
I'm with Chico. If paul the freelance writer really is a freelance writer how come he posts with such useless and lame comments? Could he be trying to screw it up for the Pauls the proper freelance writers?
@Chris it is unlikely that even Mc Ds would use a writer of this calibre.
I'm with Pitch Doctor on that – it's like when posters have to use someone else's name to make their point relevant – and it's so obvious when a fake Groucho comes along, or a pretend Ad Grunt, or a harping Harpo… etc
The only upside is that one appreciates the Real Groucho even more
About as Australian as Pavlova (NZ), BBQ (Central America) and the saying 'True Blue' (US).
One word: Puke.
McDonald's trying to be Australian? Who do they think they're kidding?
Yeah, I'm on board. Decent PR stunt. Would probably make me smile for a second if I saw one. Then I'd start to be cynical and find it try-hard. Vinnies made sense. And had more commitment.
Doug Pitt Street store for Virgin was witty – this is average and not really very Aussie
@mike, @stavros – totally agree
hey let's all go out and paint the town mediocre!
Vinnies had V for Vernacular; this has P for Pathetic
Bugga changing it just for Australia Day. I say change it and Leave it at that name for good here in Australia. 😉
"Emotive nonsense. McDonald's Australia has for over forty years done more to teach young Australians the value of hard work and the rewards of enterprise than a thousand TAFEs, colleges and universities."
All it taught me was how to steal chicken nuggets and beef patties while the manager's back was turned.
McDonald's is a big spender in your industry. Why bite the hand…
seems to be a lot of aspiring Marxists on their keyboards today
let's make it perfectly clear:
in our free and democratic society, nobody makes anyone eat McDonalds and
nobody makes anyone work at McDonalds
now, kiddies, go back to distributing your Green Left Weaklies
Their icecream still tastes like shaving cream.
Anyone have any images of stores that have had their signage changed? Not aware of any in WA just yet
Well thought out!
Simple, emotive, low investment & uses assets they have'nt changed for 40 years.. brilliant
What a waste of money. Will anyone actually notice? How lovely it would be to see the equivalent dollars go to RMHC.
@neil schofield. No body makes anybody eat at mcdonalds, however they try their best to brainwash the masses to do so, by even associating the giant processed food chain with Australia Day.
About as Australian as mate (UK).
How Bogan
pretty corny and bogan. dislike.

Question from Diana: Regarding the upcoming Arizona primary election, if I am an Independent voter and request a ballot for either the Democratic or Republican party, will the respective party get notified and would I then potentially be contacted or solicited by that party? If a party learns of my choice, I would not be inclined to vote in the primary.
Answer: Arizona Republic political reporter Mary Jo Pitzl looked into this one. Here's what she found:
"Arizona law requires that the state's political parties get the list of which Independent voters pulled which ballot for the primary election. That information must be sent to the parties 33 days before the election."
Tim Sifert, a spokesman for the state Republican Party, said the information is valuable to candidates more so than to the party. Candidates use that information to reach out to voters, he said. After all, these are people who are very likely to vote since they have requested a ballot, Sifert said.
Likewise, the Democratic Party also shares that information with candidates, who use it to coordinate contact with voters. D.J. Quinlan, the party's executive director, said the party will use it to "ballot chase" those voters who have asked for an early ballot and ensure they mail it in.


text: Apple 'preparing iPod Touch with camera and microphone' Technology 21 July 09 by Eliot Van Buskirk http://www.flickr.com/photos/juanpol/2794635231/Flickr CC: juanpol Rumours have swirled about Apple putting together a new version of the iPod Touch with a camera and microphone, which, combined with a Skype account, would pretty much obviate the need for a home phone line once and for all.A well-connected source tells us that those rumours are on the money, and that Apple's factories in China are already manufacturing iPod Touch models with integrated cameras and microphones. An Apple spokesman declined to comment when reached by phone.If iPod Touches with cameras and microphones go on sale "in two to three months," as our source expects them to (and which corresponds with our expected timeframe), they will transform the entertainment-oriented iPod Touch line into a voice communications tool wherever wi-fi is available. In addition to these voice-over-IP capabilities, which should have telephone providers quaking in their boots, the microphone (and camera) would enable the iPod Touch to understand voice commands, capture video and images, and work with a wider variety of programs in the App Store.

The diving skills of British actor Jason Statham saved his life on the set of action drama The Expendables 3 when a stunt went wrong and he was forced to escape from a car that plunged into the sea.
Co-star Sylvester Stallone told The Mirror: "He faced death. He was test-driving a three-ton truck and the brakes run out. It went down 60ft into the Black Sea and became impaled. Luckily we had taken the doors off before.
"If anyone else had been in that truck we would have been dead because we were all wearing heavy boots and gun belts.We would have drowned. But because Jason is an Olympic-quality diver he got out of it."
Statham was previously a member of Britain's National Diving Squad and competed for England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games.
He has gone on to carve out a career as an action hero in the likes of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Transporter and all three Expendables movies.
The Expendables 3 is released on August 14.

The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, led by Chairman Alexander Mirabella, invites the public to attend this free concert that begins at 7:30 p.m. in Oak Ridge Park in Clark.
Jobonanno and The Godsons have electrified audiences in the tri-state area since 1992 with their infectious style of Jersey Shore get-up-and-dance rock and soul music. Considered one of the Top Ten bands in New Jersey, they have opened shows for James Brown, Jerry Lee Lewis, The B-52s, Joan Jett, The Stylistics, Gary U.S. Bonds, Mitch Ryder, and Eddie Money. They've been joined on stage by the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi. In 2003 and 2007, they appeared at Giants Stadium before Bruce and the E Street Band took the stage.
"Bring the entire family for a rocking-good musical evening in Oak Ridge Park," said Freeholder Chairman Mirabella. "Pack a picnic basket, bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on, and enjoy the sounds of summer under the stars."
The Union County information van will be at the concert site with knowledgeable staff to answer questions and offer information about interesting programs and recreational activities available to Union County residents.
The grand finale of the 2012 Summer Arts Festival concerts will be "Veterans Appreciation Night" on Wednesday, August 22, in Oak Ridge Park. Please join us at 7:00 p.m. as we salute the men and women who have served in the military. At the conclusion of the presentation for our veterans, The B Street Band (The Original
Springsteen Tribute) will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets are encouraged. Refreshments and snacks will be available from vendors.

Great tone, good value gig rig?
What do you guys think of these two paired together for a good value but nice sounding gig rig for pubs and so forth? Or do you think a 50 watt head would be sufficient? Or can you think of any better suggestions? :)
That cabinet is decent from what I understand, but I've yet to hear anything good about the MAs.
We could probably give you some better suggestions if you answer these questions: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/foru...d.php?t=1387138
Budget - As little as I can get away with but with a good tone, around £600, £700 at a push
Genres- Literally everything apart from metal. In my band we play punk, foo fighters, guns n roses, lynyrd skynyrd, oasis. Mostly rock.
New or used - Not fussed as long as it's in good condition
Home or gig - Mainly gig and practice for the gigs
Closest city - Lincoln, UK
Current gear - At the moment I'm using a solid state marshall combo, MG250DFX, does the job okay but wouldn't mind an upgrade, got that one cheap
Marshall DSL50 head, and the cab of your choice. If you ever want to do metal it'll pull it off quite nicely as well. It's a very versatile head, one of my personal favorites.
I second the DSL50. That cab is decent. It'll do the job nicely.
If you're really trying to do this on the cheap, what about one of the Orange Micro Terrors into a used 4x12? (Since you said you weren't playing metal...)
100 watts is far too much IMO. I have a 15 watt tube amp (EL84s) that easily goes over drums (i've had turn it down complaints) might not be great for bigger gigs, but for bars etc, 15+ would do you good. Keep in mind, tube amps sound best when close to full volume. At least for overdrive.
So much misinformation here, too bad I don't have time to pick it apart. In short I'll say amps have a volume knob for a reason.
1) You must be playing with the quietist drummer in the world.
2) You must not have any clean head room??
We I rehears with my band (without being micd through the P.A) I have my 36' coupe running about 1/2. and Im barely keeping up with my drummer then!!
Marshall DSL50 and the cab of your liking. Will cover absolutely all of the stuff you listed
No. Seriously, no.
^ +1
thomann has good deals on the jet city stuff. though the heads aren't in stock at the moment. Hard to beat for the price (assuming they get the heads back in).
Well, you CAN get over the drums with an Orange TT or a Vox AC15. You just will be crunchy as all get out. It will not resemble anything clean, at that point. I suppose it also depends on the room and the drummer, but I got over drums at an open mike night with my input volume on 3'oclock and my master volume on 12'oclock. If you want to have audible cleans, you probably will want 30 watts. The DSL50 sounds good for you. Try an Egnater Renegade though. I stand by those as a reasonably priced amp with enough tone, features, and volume for most styles and gigs.
you don't need to crank it to it's full 100 watts. most bigger amps like that are used so that the power amp won't distort. ignore volume knobs to your detriment
also, 100 watts would only be ~1.8 times louder than a 15 watt if you hold cabs/speakers constant. mind you, this is running both amps at their full nominal output, which you usually don't need to do.
what works for you may not work for him. mind you, he is playing mostly rock and some nice power amp distortion can come in handy, but choosing an amp that small does position him so he has no real option for any headroom. that can be a problem if he wants some crisp clean tones.
this is a common opinion... but it is just that: an opinion. many experienced players on this forum think quite differently. i would say how loud you should run your amp to sound good is based on: hearing perception, personal preference, and design of the amp. many very high dollar metal amps sound quite good at low volumes (and yes i am talking about OD/distortion tones).
How about this? I need all tones at a gigging volume, cleans, distortion and a volume boost for solos ideally
that link doesn't work.
Any of those would outclass the MA50 with ease. The cab you picked is perfect.
Sorry about the link, it basically consisted of the Bugera 333XL Infinium, although I don't know what difference the XL makes as I don't play metal
I wouldn't get a bugera, they aren't terribly reliable.
The Bugera 333 is a clone of the Peavey XXX, the 333xl is a clone of the Peavey JSX.
I have a 333 head, and they do sound good, but they are made very cheap and lots of people have trouble with reliability. Now I have only had a few minor problems (input jack broke) so I count my self lucky.
Its your money so do what you want just take the horror storys in account as facts when choosing.

Business booms for the holidays at Sierra resorts
By: Gloria Young Journal Staff Writer
By Gloria Young, Journal Staff Writer It snowed early. It snowed often. It snowed a lot. And that added up to a record holiday season for Sierra resorts. Northstar and Sierra at Tahoe were up 7 percent from the next closest December, spokeswoman Jessica VanPernis said Monday. "It was great," VanPernis said. "We had our largest two-week holiday period — up by 4 percent — and the best season to date, up by 9 percent." Having sufficient snow to open on Thanksgiving Day was a big boost. "Opening on Thanksgiving is never a given," she said. "We had great temperatures to continue snowmaking. We were able to get the majority of the mountain open during that timeframe." The recession may be playing a role, too. "A lot of people are still staying closer to home," she said. "The Tahoe region benefits from having 11 million people in our backyard from the Bay Area and the Sacramento area — now we have great blue skies to boot." The recent opening of the $300 million, five-star Ritz Carlton at Northstar was an added attraction. "People are interested in seeing the hotel," VanPernis said. "It's open to public in terms of the (reception) area, spa and restaurants. People are welcome to come in for lunch and to see what's going on." Squaw Valley USA, which is celebrating its 60th year in business as well as the 50th anniversary of the 1960 Winter Olympic Games, saw an increase in visitors over last year's holiday period. "The snow really set us up for a great holiday season," spokeswoman Savannah Cowley said Monday. "When you have a snowy December, it gets people excited about skiing and the conditions. And it helped drive that holiday business." Besides the snow, the resort's recession-friendly pricing was also a factor, she said. "We've overcome (the recession) by offering affordable deals on lift tickets and lodging. We also have dropped prices of our passes for this season and that has kept our season skier visits higher — where you'd like to see them." Handling the crowds is not a problem because the mountain is huge, Cowley said. "We have 33 lifts most days," she said. "We hired more staff. Even on the busiest day, (skiers and boarders) could park their car and walk 20 feet to get on a lift." At Boreal Mountain Resort, Jody Churich, president and general manager, said both Boreal and Soda Springs are performing ahead of last year. "I would have to attribute a lot of Boreal's success to a great November and a steady holiday," Churich said. "At Soda Springs, our tubing and our Planet Kids program showed significant increases." It was a strong holiday period for Alpine Meadows, too, spokeswoman Rachael Woods said. "Guests were thrilled with how great the snow was," she said. "It seems as if we had snowstorms that were so significant leading into the holiday period that there was a real piqued interest to visit the mountains for skiing and snowboarding." Woods didn't have exact numbers, but said the parking lots attested to the crowds. "Our parking lots were filled each day before Christmas and after the New Year," she said. "That speaks volumes to the fact it was a really a popular time to visit." The fantastic conditions were a magnet for skiers and boarders. "Winter enthusiasts have a very strong attachment to the mountains," she said. "Many times, if the conditions are great, they're willing to visit, and the fact that Alpine Meadows and Homewood have so many different ways to save for lift tickets and visiting the mountain, was enough motivation to create a strong interest." The holidays were great for Sugar Bowl, too, spokesman John Monson said. He estimated the resort was up double-digits in all categories in terms of season pass sales, day visits, rentals and food and beverage sales. "Things were amazing," he said. "We had strong visitation numbers, great conditions, well-timed storms that did not impact travel. Perhaps most importantly, we have staff that rose to the challenge." Sugar Bowl is celebrating its 70th season this year, with special events set for the Jan. 30 weekend. With the Christmas holiday over, Sierra resorts are now looking toward the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend Jan. 16-18. "We've gotten enough snow — the base is set," Monson said. "We have up to a 75-inch base. Even if there are no storms from now to then, we'll still be skiing on plenty of snow." Gloria Young can be reached at email@example.com.

The Lower Kootenai Tribe has lived in the area since prehistoric times, and is one of six bands of the Kootenai Nation, an area that later became northern Idaho, northwest Montana and southeastern British Columbia. Now known as the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, they were the original inhabitants of Boundary County.
the Kootenai bands occupied territories along the Kootenai River, in parts of
Montana, Idaho and British Columbia. Although they did not share a common
language with any other group, they were closely aligned with the Flatheads,
Kalispel, and Pend Oreille tribes by common territories and intermarriage. Their
culture was of the "Basin" type found in the Columbia Basin area.
Their lifestyle was sustained
through hunting, fishing and gathering of roots and berries. The mainstay of their
diet was salmon, starchy roots and bulbs. Theirs was a semi-nomadic culture,
with permanent winter villages near good fishing sites. Their social structure
was based on the extended family groupings. Clothing was made from woven bark
and plant fibers; lodges were conical huts constructed of a pole framework
covered with rush mats. Basketry supplied most of their utensils, including
cups, bowls, and storage bags.
of the tribe's original territory is now in the hands of non-Indians.
In the 1855 Hellgate Treaty, the Tribes ceded to the United States
all the land they occupied or claimed in exchange for reservations. However, the
Kootenai Tribe of Idaho was not represented at the Treaty.
Consequently, they did not acquire any land.
As with
other tribes, the Dawes Act of 1877 let to the loss of tribal and individual
allotments they had received from the Treaty of 1855.
The Kootenai Tribe gained
international attention on Sept. 20, 1975 when it formally declared war on the
United States. As a result, they gained a small reservation.
They operate under a constitution written
subsequent to the Wheeler-Howard Act.
In 1986, to improve their economic situation, the Tribe built the Kootenai River Inn, a 52-unit waterfront luxury motel in Bonners Ferry. In 1993, they expanded the motel and added bingo and gaming machines. In 2005, the Kootenai Tribe expanded and renovated the facility once again. Investments totaled $6 million, and a full service spa was added.
In 1991, the Tribe built the Kootenai Tribal Sturgeon Hatchery to help enhance the endangered population of this ancient fish that plays a large role in tribal heritage.
Kootenai Tribal Health Facility and Tribal Headquarters
Kootenai Tribal Health Facility and Tribal Headquarters: Among other endeavors, the Kootenai Tribe operates a health care facility. Providers contracted include one physician, one physician assistant, one LPN, one CHR, one medical social worker and a mental health specialist. The positions are direct tribal hires. Care is covered by contract Health. CHR, Alcohol, Dental and Well-Child Program. The total patient population is 300.
Other Offices and Programs The tribe
owns and operates the sturgeon hatchery and the Kootenai River Inn in Bonners
Ferry, which houses a restaurant, gift shop, and spa.
The tribe also owns 33 acres of prime industrial property located three
miles north of Bonners Ferry at the intersection of Highway 95 and Highway 2.
The total number of tribal
employees is currently 32

May 6, 2016
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) - Vonta Leach has been released by the Baltimore Ravens, who failed to agree on a restructured contract with the All-Pro fullback.
Leach was an integral part of a running game that helped the Ravens become champions last season. Paving the way for standout halfback Ray Rice, Leach made the Pro Bowl in each of his two seasons with Baltimore.
Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome says Leach "added to our toughness and will to win. Plus, he provided leadership." Newsome left open the possibility that Leach could return if he fails to find another team in the free-agent market.
Newsome says, "We could re-visit this before or during training camp."
In another move Tuesday, the Ravens re-signed tight end Billy Bajema.
Previous Story:
Former ECU Pirate and Super Bowl Champion Vonta Leach is leaving the Baltimore Ravens.
Leach announced the move on his Twitter account Monday night. He thanked the Ravens organization and its fans.
The former East Carolina Pirate spent the past two seasons with the Super Bowl Champions and has been selected to the Pro Bowl every year since 2010.

Timmy Thomas
"Funky Me" (Glades) 1972
In February of 1973, Timmy Thomas's sociopolitical ballad, "Why Can't We Live Together?," reached number one on the R&B charts. A veritable one-man band, Thomas played bass lines and lead lines simultaneously on the organ while the Maestro Rhythm King kept the beat. The instrumental B-side, "Funky Me," is a guilt-free frolic, driven by Thomas's gospel chops, which clock in at over 200 beats per minute.

Let the pork cool slightly, then shred the meat and mix with the sauce. Mix together the carrot and daikon pickles with the green onions and sesame seeds to taste.
Heat the tortillas in a dry pan, and then top with the pork and carrot and daikon pickle mixture. Serve with lime wedges.

The hopes and prayers of all Oregonians are with Clackamas County Sheriff Sgt. Damon Coates as he recovers in a Portland hospital from wounds suffered when he was shot in the head while taking a troubled teen into custody Jan. 9. Coates' recovery will take time, but indications are that the popular deputy has finally begun showing signs of improvement.
Coates was upgraded from critical to serious condition Tuesday and was responding to simple commands, though his doctors say the 42-year-old may never regain full use of the left side of his body. His rehabilitation will last for many years, said trauma surgeon Andy Michaels.
Coates was doing what hundreds of law enforcement personnel in Oregon do day in and day out responding to a call and putting his life on the line in order to protect the safety and well-being of the public. No officer knows when a situation might turn violent. For that reason, the public owes law officers a debt of gratitude.
When an officer is injured in the line of duty, all citizens feel the pain. No words can truly express the appreciation the public feels for the work officers do. The family of Sgt. Coates simply needs to know that they are not alone in their sorrow, their hope and their prayers. All of Oregon is with them.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Funny wisecracking kind of book first half, then became too earnest and ran out of the rant. Liked the style of telling of the story via a collection of documents like emails, summons. letters, etc interspersed with a bit of narrative.
This is a novel about Brenadette, a loving mother, a reclusive member of the community, and a distant wife of a workaholic husband. Bernadette is a prime example of a person who establishes an identity for herself only to find it is damaged by the demands of wife, mother, and socialite. When Bernadette's husband, Elgin, threatens to have her committed to a psychiatic facility, she flees. Bee, Bernadette's daughter, is determined to find her. Even though Semple addresses mostly adult concerns, the humor and lighthearted language in the novel make it appropriate for teens. The character Bernadette can serve as an example of what can happen to overachievers as grown-ups or as an example of what can happen to a person when creativity is stifled and identity is lost.
This book is a riot! I don't remember any of the last 50 books I've read making me laugh so much, so often and keeping me so engaged that putting the book down just wasn't an option.
Full review → Joie des Livres
This is a mommy come of age book if there ever was one. It will make you sick but curious, and sympathetic but exasperated all at the same time. It will just about embarrass you for all female American moms while it makes you love them and their young, too. But for the extremes, it might be a pretty fantastic fictional essay on the women of my generation, as we face the banality of life. We have many choices. We can be hormonally lunatic, desperately hiding, snarky and adulterous, a menace to society, or we can get on with our lives and purpose. We can get back to creativity. We can choose men who will not check out of our lives but who help us embrace them. Where Oh where is . . . ? May all the Bernadettes out there find themselves.
The story behind this book: Andrew's cousin Liz once recommended this to me while we were visiting her during spring break. We were so busy exploring Seattle, however, that I never got around reading to it. So, when our local book club had this listed as the book they were reading next, we both thought that it'd be a good way to: read the same book at the same time, finally read the book his cousin recommended so long ago, and meet new people in the process.
I had a hard time getting into this, but once it got going, I was fully immersed. I think that Semple does a really good job of finding the humor in intense situations and really plays that up in this book, which I found enjoyable.
The best moments for me were the crazy PTA parents and Bernadette's ways of getting back at them. In a lot of ways, I identified with Bernadette, which is kind of scary, but I'm not going to think about that too much. :p Having visited Seattle, it was a huge bonus for me to sort of know the neighborhoods and stereotypes that are portrayed. It added some nuance and detail to the story that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
While I very much enjoyed the middle, I found the end to drop back down to how I felt in the beginning. There isn't much of a satisfying resolution and everything feels ridiculous; unfortunately, Semple goes past humor and goes into drama for drama's sake. Without getting into spoilers, there were a lot of actual problematic issues going on that were sort of glossed over and made to look like they were resolved. Regardless, I enjoyed this book overall (still rated it a 4!) and it was an entertaining, easy read for what it was. I think anyone looking for a bit of good fun will enjoy this — it's very approachable and deals with situations that almost anyone can relate to. Great book club book, for the record.
Originally posted on Going on to the Next.
The book stumbles a bit in the middle as it transitions from a scathing anti-Seattle manifesto into a family drama with comic undertones. But once the gears have finished their grinding and the shuddering subsides, Semple eases into her strongest work yet, allowing her characters to change in a way that suits the story, and not just shooting for an easy punch line or a sharply worded barb. In the end, with its big heart set on acceptance, Bernadette feels something like coming home.
The tightly constructed "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" is written in many formats — e-mails, letters, F.B.I. documents, correspondence with a psychiatrist and even an emergency-room bill for a run-in between Bernadette and Audrey. Yet these pieces are strung together so wittily that Ms. Semple's storytelling is always front and center, in sharp focus. You could stop and pay attention to how apt each new format is, how rarely she repeats herself and how imaginatively she unveils every bit of information. But you would have to stop laughing first.
Semple is a TV comedy writer, and the pleasures of Where'd You Go, Bernadette are the pleasures of the best American TV: plot, wit and heart. (There are places where Semple really wants to be writing dialogue, and stretches the epistolary conceit of the novel to suit.) It's rather refreshing to find a female misunderstood genius at the heart of a book, and a mother-daughter relationship characterised by unadulterated mutual affection. If Bernadette is a monster of ego, Semple suggests, so are most people, when they're being honest. In her spiky but essentially feelgood universe, failure and self-exposure open up a rich seam of comedy, but shame can always be vanquished by love

GailForce: President Obama's Terrorism and National Security Strategy
On 23 May, President Obama gave a long awaited and much overdue talk on his strategy for conducting the war on terrorism. I thought it was one of the best speeches he's given. He did a great job laying out his view points, justification for his terrorism strategy and what he sees as the road ahead. There has been much coverage on what he said about drones, targeting U.S. citizens, and Guantanamo Bay. I thought I'd cover some of the other things that jumped out at me. What follows are some of my thoughts and questions:
"With the collapse of the Berlin Wall, a new dawn of democracy took hold abroad, and a decade of peace and prosperity arrived at home. For a moment, it seemed the 21st century would be a tranquil time. Then, on September 11th 2001, we were shaken out of complacency."
From my perspective the term "peace" is relative. After the collapse of the Berlin Wall, as a then working intelligence analyst I found the 90's to be a more complex problem and potentially just as dangerous as the issues we faced during the Cold War. During the Cold War we knew who the bad guys were and from an analytic stand point we had a pretty good idea of what the issues and challenges were. I've always felt that in the world there were a number of pots on the fire that constantly simmered. The challenge particularly in the 1990's was predicting which one would boil over. I do not see that as a decade of peace.
First off, as I have blogged numerous times, the Gulf War never ended because Iraq did not abide by the agreements. End result the U.S. and its allies had a large number of military units conducting daily combat operations enforcing UN sanctions. Here's a list I compiled for my book, A Woman's War, of some of our most intense times:
13 & 18 Jan 1993 strikes were conducted against selected air defense targets
17 Jan 1993 Navy launched 44 TLAM cruise missiles against Zaafaraniyah Nuclear related facility
27 June 1993 Navy strike against Iraqi Intelligence headquarters
Oct 1994 in response to threat of Iraqi troops against Kuwait CENTCOM deployed over 28,000 troops and 200 additional aircraft
Sept 1996 Operation Desert Strike
Launched 12 cruise missiles against surface to air missile sites and command and control facilities
Dec 1998 Operation Desert Fox
Aimed at installations associated with WMD and Iraq's command and control network
On first day we launched 280 cruise missiles, almost as many as was used in the entire first Gulf War
Then there is Somalia. In their official history, United States Central Commands states:
"To prevent widespread starvation in the face of clan warfare, the command responded in 1992 with Operation Provide Relief to supply humanitarian assistance to Somalia and northeastern Kenya. CENTCOM's Operation Restore Hope supported UNSCR 794 and a multinational Unified Task Force, which provided security until the U.N. created UNOSOM II in May 1993. In spite of some UNOSOM II success in the countryside, the situation in Mogadishu worsened, and a series of violent outbreaks ultimately led President Bill Clinton to order the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Somalia."
The "so what" factor is an unintended consequence. Because of extreme poverty and weak government, and a power vacuum in the region, a number of Somalis became pirates. That problem has resulted in a number of nations, including our own having to devote naval forces combating the problem. Other pots that boiled over in the '90's was the genocide in Rwanda and lack of world response to nearly one million people being massacred in under 100 days, and the rise of cyber warfare. Why is this important? Because it shows once again we must be ever vigilant and try to deal with issues before they become major problems and explode. Current examples are the territorial disputes in the Pacific between China and Japan, China and Vietnam, China and the Philippines, etc.
"Now make no mistake: our nation is still threatened by terrorists. From Benghazi to Boston, we have been tragically reminded of that truth. We must recognize, however, that the threat has shifted and evolved from the one that came to our shores on 9/11. With a decade of experience to draw from, now is the time to ask ourselves hard questions – about the nature of today's threats, and how we should confront them."
I found this to be one of the most significant parts of his speech. This is particularly important in light of the huge budget cuts to the Defense budget because of sequestration. This situation has been particularly damaging to the military's ability to do maintenance and training. This affects the capability of the military to surge forces in reaction to a crisis. General Raymond Odierno, the Army's Chief of Staff said the Army has had to cut back on 80% of its training and cancelled depot maintenance for the 3rd and 4th quarter of this year. He warned: "The cost of these actions is clear — we are sacrificing readiness to achieve reductions inside the short period of this fiscal year. And readiness cannot be bought back — not quickly and not cheaply."
The end result, as has been mentioned by many senior military leaders, is if there is a crisis the military might not be able to respond. During his congressional testimony on Benghazi former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta told Congress, "…an exhaustive review of the Benghazi events has established the Defense Department responded appropriately to the attacks… there simply was not enough time given the speed of the attacks for armed U.S. military assets to have made a difference." (Note: In response to the Benghazi situation, the military has deployed a force of Marines to Spain in order to be able to respond to any future crisis in Africa. " When fully operational, the unit will be required to be airborne within six hours of receiving orders, providing the type of rapid response that the Pentagon says was not possible during the Benghazi attack".)
Here's the so what factor. I would ask the President and his team, according to your own senior military leaders sequestration has damaged military readiness. What happens if we have to deal with a major crisis now? The North Korean crisis appears to be winding down, what if it flares up again? Do we have forces that are trained, manned, and able to deal with a full blown war while also dealing with wars and crises in other parts of the world? In this era of fiscal challenges, are you proposing we design a military based on budget limitations or do we design a military based on strategy and we fund it with that process in mind?
Think I'll end here. More to follow on this topic in the next few days. As always my views are my own.

THE Cooma Fillies ladies league-tag side have swapped the football for rakes, shovels, Windex and cloths all in the name of charity.
A group of the team undertook a working bee at the home of the Hely family who had bought the team to undertake the work.
It was all part of fundraising efforts for the Community Chest which was launched in Cooma last April. It was established to help local people experiencing financial hardship due to health issues.
In November, the Community Chest hosted an auction which raised more than $10,000. The Fillies was one of the items auctioned on the night.
They were quick to get to work, rolling up their sleeves and completing the working bee before Christmas. They did a number of odd jobs around the home of Carolyn and Tim Hely. They cleaned windows, mulched tress branches, pruned and helped transport large rocks to the tip.
Afterwards they were treated to afternoon snacks and drinks, after a hard day's work.
The next fundraiser for the Community Chest will be a garage sale on March 29, more details to come.

PH Market Summary
PH Equities traded and closed higher, gaining 23.44 points or 0.40% to close at 5,878.32 despite the post-Christmas holiday mood of the market participants. The PSEi remained on green pasture as market participants re-positioned in the expectation of the traditional year-end window dressing which effectively buoyed Philippine equities.
Value turnover decreased to P3.46 billion from P5.26 billion last Monday which is mainly attributable to the tepid post-Christmas trading in the market. Foreigners were net sellers, disposing of P55.3 million worth of shares.
URC : URC posts net income of P10-B for FY'13
As for the unaudited and preliminary figures released, Universal Robina Corporation (PSE:URC) disclosed a net income of P10.01 billion for its fiscal year ending September 2013. The said figure was 29.4% higher than the net income the company reported the same period last year. The increase was attributed to the strong gains of its domestic branded food operations, particularly the beverage division, which banked P42.2 billion in sales beating the industry's reported growth of 20%.
ALPHA : ALPHA to sell Alphaland Tower
After the deal with Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PSE:TEL) to buy the Alphaland Tower in Makati for P8 billion ran aground, Alphaland Corporation (PSE:ALPHA) revealed that it is now back in the process of negotiation with several foreign companies from Singapore and Malaysia to sell the 34-storey building along Ayala Avenue. Alphaland Tower, which has a gross floor area of 48,000 square meters, is back to its original selling ptoce of P8.5 to P8.6 billion.
MCP : MCP Unit taps MCE Investments for US$340-M loan
Melco Crown (Philippines) Resorts Corporation (PSE:MCP) dislcosed that its MCE (Philippines) Investments Limited, MCP's wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, has entered into a loan agreement with MCE Leisure (Philippines) Corporation as borrower. MCP, MCE Holdings (Philippines) Corporation, and MCE Holdings No.2 (Philippines) Corporation serve as guarantors of the US$340 million transaction. The term loan facility aims to provide back-up in the unlikely event that MCE Leisure (Philippine) Corporation's senior notes offering consisting of P15 billion aggregate principal amount of 5% senior notes due 2019, which was priced on 19 December 2013, will not be completed.
RCB : RCB prepaid P4-B debt due 2019
Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (PSE:RCB) has fully paid its P4 billion 7.75% Unsecured Subordinated Notes eligible as Lower Tier 2 Capital due 2019, pursuant to the exercise of its Early Redemption Option on the sad notes.
Inflation seen to hit a two-year record high in December 2013
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. said that BSP projects inflation to settle between 3.8% to 4.7%, the highest since January 2012. The fast acceleration of inflation was mainly attributed to the rising power, fuel, and food prices in the market that followed the wake of the disasters caused by super-typhoon Yolanda and the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that shook the provinces of Bohol and Cebu.

Fuming Woods out of sync as four-time Masters winner flails his way to 3-over-par 75
AUGUSTA, Ga. Tiger Woods was unraveling before thousands in the gallery at Augusta National and millions on television in the second round of the Masters.
He was venting his anger in short bursts of curse words and contortions of his body. Then at the par-3 16th, Woods flailed a shot into the right bunker. He dropped his club behind him, turned, and punted it.
In the broadcast booth, commentator and six-time major winner Nick Faldo all but gasped.
"We can officially say Tiger has lost his game — and his mind," Faldo said. "He hasn't got a clue where to put the clubface on the ball right now."
In a painful display on Friday, Woods muddled his way to a 3-over-par 75 score that, remarkably, could have been much worse. At 3-over for the tournament, the four-time Masters champion was tied for 40th place, eight shots behind leaders Fred Couples and Jason Dufner.
Woods looked nothing like the player who two weeks ago played with confidence and precision in winning at Bay Hill, his first victory in 30 months.
He birdied the first and third holes, but couldn't get another one after that. He found only seven greens in regulation — a combination of bad driving on some holes and terrible iron shots on others. The score was his second-worst in the second round of the Masters.
"I've been working hard on my short game," Woods said, "and I think that what (coach) Sean (Foley) and I have been talking about is I think that might have crept into my takeaway of my full swing, and unfortunately it's just not quite consistent. It's not what it was at Bay Hill and prior tournaments.
"I have it in stretches. I get into streaks where it's really good and then I lose it for a little bit. That's obviously very frustrating."
Asked about the club kicking on 16, Woods said, "It's a simple 9-iron. It's not that hard. … It's a very easy golf shot, and I laid the shaft down and struck it to the right, just like I did on 15."
Evidence of Woods' struggles is how he has played the par-5s. He is only 1-under on them in eight chances.
At 13, he hit his drive right, tried to play a hard draw into the green, and ended up having to take a penalty drop when his ball went into the hazard. He saved par.
"The art of the layup is lost on these guys, including Tiger," commentator Peter Kostis said.
At 15, Woods went for the green in 2 and badly pushed his second shot approach. He dumped his third shot in the bunker, but managed to get up-and-down to save par.
"Frustration is oozing out of every pore," commentator David Feherty said. "He's getting the club stuck behind him. That leaves it going straight right. He's also swinging enormously hard."
Mickelson bounces back
Phil Mickelson had quite the opposite day from Woods. The San Diegan shot himself back into the tournament with a 4-under 68 in which he birdied four of the last seven holes.
Mickelson capped the round by draining a 20-footer for birdie at 18 — the second day in a row that he made a 3 at the last. At 2-under, he was only three shots off the lead.
"I played well and shot something in the 60s that got me back in the tournament," Mickelson said. "I was hoping for one or two more under, but that birdie on 18 felt terrific to finish that way."
Mickelson didn't hit any more fairways (nine) than he did in his first round of 74, but he said his misses were much better.

"Under promise and over deliver." You've heard it many times before, and on the surface it seems logical. After all, over promising and under delivering isn't likely to help you build a sustainable practice. However, instead of accepting this seemingly innocuous business axiom at face value, how about we tweak it to say, "Over promise and over deliver?" Here's why.
Mr. Jones, at the end of his eyeglass frame selection asks you, "So when will my glasses be ready?" Not wanting to disappoint him, and expecting you'll have the glasses in roughly four days, you tell him, "They should be here in about a week. We'll call you when they arrive."
Four days later, when the glasses arrive, you call him and say, "I have great news. Your glasses came in earlier than we expected. I have them here. Would you like to pick them up today?"
On the surface, that exchange seems benign and appears to give off a positive customer service vibe for Mr. Jones. After all, you did get the glasses sooner than expected. However, this same scenario, repeated with hundreds of patients during the course of the year, can have significant implications on how you shape future office policies. It means that you, the practice owner, will come to accept and live with mediocrity. In this case, mediocrity is the delivery of glasses in four days. Why not push the bar higher and work to get glasses even sooner, say, three days? If you strived for this goal, you could tell future patients, "We'll have your glasses in three days," or the more timid among you could say five days. Regardless, either is better than the previous seven days.
There are many policies and procedures in your practice that you should examine with your "over promise" microscope to ensure your promises aren't inhibiting the growth of your practice. For example:
► Waiting time. For those practices that ask (via a survey for example), one of the biggest patient complaints is the waiting time to see the doctor once the patient has arrived for his appointment, and for larger practices, the actual waiting time for an appointment. Using the above "over promising" philosophy, savvy doctors will hold their own feet to the scheduling fire by promising patients they are (for example) seen by the doctor within five minutes of their appointment time. Heavily scheduled practices would also benefit by saying, "You won't have to wait more than five days for non-emergency appointments" (assuming the current wait is longer).
► Overall value. Gain the most with this philosophy by examining the overall value you provide your patients. If they expected to get Y amount of value for $X and they indeed got exactly Y, can you make changes in your practice to promise Y+Z and actually deliver it for a slightly higher fee than $X? This concept can include eyeglass selection, the types of ophthalmic lenses you routinely prescribe, your "go to" contact lens and just about anything else that has a price tag.
Aim for solving patients' problems, providing good service and providing value to your patients and if you're unlucky, you'll land exactly where you aim. Shoot for something higher than what patients expect, and deliver that. By doing so, you're practice will wind up miles away from mediocrity. I promise. OM
