my nerd band, AWKWARD TEENAGE MAN SYNDROME, just released a new song!
I hope that its okay for me to post this shameless plug, if it isn't I sincerely apologize. I am the lead singer and lyricist in a nerd band called Awkward Teenage Man Syndrome, and we write songs about such various topics as Mario, facebook creeping, and math. This song, "Girl You Derive Me Crazy" is our first music video and first released song. I'd like to say we're what Jonathan Coulton would be if he were younger, was a band, and didn't have an awesome beard. I hope you guys enjoy this, and without further ado. Here is the video
and if you enjoy the song, and you feel so compelled you can purchase it on iTunes The link to iTunes is in the video description on youtube. I hope you guys enjoy and I'd love to hear what you think of both the video and the song.
That's pretty good! Definitely quite like Jonathan Coulton.
Do you have a link to your facebook creeping song? It sounds like something I'd be able to relate to. :(
Haha, I don't have a well mixed audio/well recorded file of it yet, but I may have a recording of when we were practicing it without our drummer/keyboardist. If i find it I can upload it for you to hear, it'll be a rather rough copy, but a copy nonetheless. I do however have our harry potter song online as a free mp3 download on theFump sideshow : http://thefump.com/side.php?id=948 Its a parody of Wonderwall by Oasis, if you're interested.

Canada: SaskTel now selling the white Samsung Galaxy S II, will have the iPhone 4S on October 28
If you're in Canada and your carrier of choice is SaskTel, listen up – here's some good news. SaskTel now sells the white Samsung Galaxy S II 4G. So if you were after Samsung's latest high-end Android handset, but wanted to get it in something other than black, here's your chance.
The white Galaxy S II can be yours if you agree to part with $149.99 and sign a new three-year contract with the carrier. Otherwise, you can also get the phone for $249.99 with a two-year commitment, $449.99 with a one-year service agreement, or $619.99 on prepaid or monthly plans. If you're interested, head over here at SaskTel and place an order.
If you'd like a high-end device not made by Samsung, in fact not even running Android, then you'll unfortunately have some more waiting to do. Though not too much. We're talking, of course, about the recently unveiled Apple iPhone 4S. SaskTel will sell Apple's new smartphone starting on October 28, which is two weeks from tomorrow (which, incidentally, is when the iPhone 4S will first go on sale). Still, Apple fans, don't be angry. Be patient. Good things come to those who wait, no?

Mike and Chester are really different to be honest. Mike is versatile and pretty good with everything, while Chester is AMAAAAAAAAZING (i cannot stress that enough) vocalist, but with many other stuff (except lyrics), he's not as good as mike.
Dead by Sunrise
Fort Minor
I like them both equally
I don't like neither
Mike and Chester are really different to be honest. Mike is versatile and pretty good with everything, while Chester is AMAAAAAAAAZING (i cannot stress that enough) vocalist, but with many other stuff (except lyrics), he's not as good as mike.
Even though I really like Chester's voice in Linkin Park, I would go with Fort Minor. It's hard to pick since Dead by Sunrise is great too, but if I have to compare I would rather listen to The Rising Tied than Out of Ashes album.
Tough choice...
- best song: Where 'd you go?
- best album: Out of Ashes
Proud admin of the unofficial LP fansite www.lpleaks.com.Follow us on Facebook too! www.facebook.com/linkinparkleaks.
fort minor... but that's of course my opinion
And no I'm not your soldier, I'm not taking any orders
I'm a five star general infantry controller, need a lesson, let me show you.
Have you checking your composure while I make you step to it like
Aside from a few songs, I felt Dead By Sunrise was a bit of a "Let Down". I really was expecting so much out of that record, but I really don't think it's Chester at his finest. Julien K really hinders the sound a bit, and it became a hugely generic rock record.
On the other hand, I feel Fort Minor is definitely some of Mike's best work, with only a couple songs (Feel Like Home and Back Home) that I could have really done without.
I like FM more than DBS. don't know why..
Out of Ashes, I know it from head to toe. Highlights from it to me are Walking in Circles and In The Darkness. I had Into You on my head for a long time but if I had to choose I'd go with the first two.
I like 'em both, but for different reasons. Fort Minor is stuff I'll listen to when I'm in one of those "fuck yeah" kinda moods; it's music you can jam out to. DBS, on the other hand, seems more depressing to me. It's good to listen while you're having a bad day, anyway
>>Linkin Park is everything, and everything else is nothing.<<
Fort Minor was a surprise because of how good it was, DBS was a surprise because of how underwhelming it was.
Fort Minor has some killer raps!
Fort Sunrise...I mean, Dead Minor! I mean...
My bloodtype is KRYLON - Technicolor Type-A
Today...I looked for a sign. With flames in my hands. A line in the sand between yours and mine.
I couldn't get into DBS but Fort Minor was awesome!
Fort Minor. I still bump that album to this day.
Out Of Ashes was lame to me outside a few tracks. Coulda been better.
www.facebook.com/dashriot <-- DJ Dash R!0T
Hybrid Theory > Meteora > A Thousand Suns > Living Things >>>> Minutes To Midnight
I definitely play FM a lot more. SOB contribute to The Rising Tied so well, and make it a pretty solid album. SOB, Mike and beats overseen by Jay makes for a good combination. I also agree with others who say Cigarette and Back Home get avoided. Compared to the rest, they're boring and the beats aren't up to scratch.
I liked Out of Ashes, but I can't remember the last time I listened to a group of songs from it in a row. In The Darkness, Walking In Circle and End of The World stand out for mine.
Fort Minor. The Rising Tied is a great album. There are songs what I don't like(Kenji, Back Home or Red To Black) but there are some amazing songs(Right Now, Be Somebody, Where'd You Go). I'm listening these songs every day.
And DBS...Well I like Let Down and Crawl Back In but the rest of the songs are just "meh".

Metal-Miner Compression Trade Grinding To Convergence
- Printer-friendly version
- Mar 10, 2011 12:28 PM
- 49
that was fast
And watch it compress even more as Silver and Gold continue to sell off...
Everyone gots to make the margin calls on their NFLX and AAPL...and the euro is getting trashed.. But eventually everyone will recognize that the grand old US of A isn't exactly as fiscally fit as it needs to be. Then the DXY will continue its slow grind.
Ya, but its still kind of funny how days like this prove gold • silver is a trade. All the black swans around now, market getting monkey hammered, but gold gets blasted like everything else. It should be over 1,650 like Turd said ..... He changes his tune so fast also, read some older post from the last 7 days, here we go gold to the moon. Now even today he has changed gears twice. Readers losing tons of cash .... Miners are a bloodbath ( down 8-10% )....
And 70% of the miners are still in the shit can going back to October 20th ....
There are a lot of speculators in gold/silver, and I love days like this that wash them out. That being said, gold/silver are where they were all of a few days ago. It's not like gold is down 30% from its top. Physical demand is through the roof, the miners will go up in time, anyone with an IQ above 45 knows this and isn't worried. Has the US suddenly solved all its problems? Has Europe? Has Japan? Turd has been fairly accurate and provides a lot of good information. However, if you are doing anything outside of buying physical and waiting for the collapse, you will probably fuck yourself at some point
Yep tons of speculators in gold/silver. Just like every other trade. If it was a safe haven like most profess , it would be up big on days like today and all the black swans and the imminent hyperinflation looming around said corner.
Look at Gold since October 20th .... Fucking nothing. ( 5 months ) So I heard all the crowing about the big run in Silver Wheaton after the first big drop. But the traders never tell you about stops getting blown out on the way to a 25% drop or getting stops blown out on days like today ...
And most people on Zero Hedge are not buying gold at 1,400 an ounce, they are trading ETF's and miners and futures .... All the futures traders are getting killed today .....
Turd is a snake oil salesman. He changes his tune like Bruce Springsteen. Hes already changed gears twice today . . Read his post over the last 7 days before today. Gold • Silver to the moon, Alice, to da' moon I tell ya'
Snake oil salesmen don't give away their wares for free.
Silver is up $8 since Turd made his prediction. Only a matter of time before gold catches up.
No deliveries again today, huh?
No runs till 2.
Picked up another two accounts yesterday. Don't worry you will be free of Spalding during your dayshift of Trolling. I will only be on ZH at night.
But you have so much free time yourself, but I guess you'll tell us you have this vast " internet " wealth built up .... Lol
I'm sure.
I have a job where I can sit in front of a computer for most of the day. Your very presence here means you aren't working.
Slander in, derision out. This is what you get when you slander people. Now get the fuck out of here, you loser.
I have a job where I can sit in front of a computer for most of the day.
Suuuuuuure, that's the ticket !!
Give the readership more insight on how the de pegging via a massive treasury dump will not affect the yuan or the manufactures who depend on said peg. Your communist misinformation is laughable ...
Go walk the dog and warm up that tea for mommy ... Lol
Sour grapes from the unemployed. Most people don't even care enough to bother reading your worthless posts.
Funny that you think the Chinese are communist these days. Can't tell the difference between communism and capitalism, nor can you tell the difference between an economic system and a system of government.
Might I suggest you go back to your high school civics teacher and complain that you were cheated?
Specs get out first. They always do. (You Losing 1400 BTW.) When QE ends ya doomers gonna wilt. You're late to silver. What $22-25? You'll see your gold at 600 before 1650. You'll feel greener than you're puke colored avatatr under 1200.
But then they always say, I can buy at a better price. Forgetting the ass reaming from days like today.
Wait till QE is over is right, and when the middle east cools off, wooooooooosh, woooooooosh ... It's game over. All the doomers can't even see the fact gold would be under 1,400 if the middle east swan never flew into town, but that monkey hammer is coming soon.
Got to go ..... See you tonight, William.
More mind numbing post buy the communist.
Never, ever, does this clown post anything of substance, just a Ron Paul troll ....
Zero Hedge readers learn nothing from your post, always striving for laughs .....
Nice try changing the subject from my first few post, notice you had no answers .... Did you find that chart yet of Gold not doing a thing since October 20th ....
More things you can't tell the difference between: buy and by.
Also, can't tell the difference between $1350 and $1400+.
Can't tell up from down, left from right, or March from May. You have no sense of time or space. How can you even exist in a state of such blind idiocy?
Yes, there are a lot of people on ZH that trade etf's and futures in metals. I think that is fucking stupid. Like I said earlier, there is no physical supply of size. That is all I want. The only good thing about speculators is that it creates days like this when you can buy on the cheap after they exit. Anyone who actually buys metals with any regularity would agree that they would welcome a drop to $25 so they could keep loading up.
I don't agree that Turd is a snake oil salesman, but I don't actively trade metals so I don't pay that close attention to prgonostications.
One would think you would be able to tell the difference between the current date, March tenth, and the date of the predition, which is June 10th. That is three months from today. Not today.
So yeah, feel free to fuck yourself, you slandering asshole.
Maybe Turd should not have spammed Zero Hedge with hundreds of links to his blog over a 10 week period. ( stealing gold • silver readership ) He's a snake oil salesman. Book it. A serial entrepreneur ...
He did so on the urging of dozens of members of ZH. He didn't want to do it.
But seriously, go fuck yourself. No-one likes you, or cares about your opinion. You are just a jealous little loser.
He did so on the urging of dozens of members of ZH. He didn't want to do it.
Bwahahaaaaaaaawhahawaha.... Whew.... that was priceless. The great mass of unwashed doomers forced the spamming, man, are you a clown .... A total chump. More mindless crap from Tmosley the communist, hoping for the downfall of the USA.
A loser retard unemployed delivery boy can't tell the difference between a lot of things. Communists and libertarians are apparently counted among the many things, along with March and June, and up and down.
Take your slander elsewhere, loser. Literally no-body wants you.
Mr. Slander calling the kettle black, and only about 5-6 doomers ever complain about Spalding. Thousands of readers ... But only a few doomers junk Spalding, Lol'
Look at the charts, moron, Golds since October 20th .... Nothing.
I guess you fail to see the dozens of junks your posts tend to accumulate.
Retarded delivery boys don't know when they aren't wanted.
Yet another thing that you can't understand.
And lets stop here.
Your post are what, hearsay, Spalding always backs his claims up. You just troll around dropping misinformation. None of your post teach a fucking thing. Treasury dump looming, hyperinflation looming, but ,but, but now it might be deflation now, I better reallocate my fictitious internet assets Lol
Retard ... Thats a great word, guess you have no family or friends with Autism ect .... Get back in your clown car, akak is waiting.
But your true colors always shine through. Your a red blooded communist who trolls the web blasting the USA with lies and tall tails of some imminent crash, just around the corner, some day ......
Tmos is an abortion Dr in Tx by night and a gold pimp by day. (I said gold not silver cause he didn't preach silly until $20 plus.)
Your mother asked me to tell you that you need to start wiping your ass before you go to bed. She's not going to clean your sheets anymore.
Tmos is an abortion Dr in Tx by night and a gold pimp by day. (I said gold not silver cause he didn't preach silly until $20 plus.)
My posts teach how to make fuck tons of money. If you did as I did when I did it, you have doubled any and all savings you have accumulated over the last two years. If you did as I did over the last four, you have quadrupled them.
"Spalding" doesn't post facts, he posts slander. He claims that Turd said $1650 gold by March 10th, when he actually said June 10th.
You don't know up from down, son. Best get to that delivery, or you won't be able to afford any milk tonight.
Hope so. Want back in that Big Kitty mine a lot cheaper than 3.97
Do you even realize what the components of the trade are? Perhaps you should go back and look at the original post...
How low do you think Silver goes Math Man? Gold?
Silver will be below $20 this summer.
What DATE, and what will you do if you are wrong? Leave forever?
Will you?
If one ounce of .999 pure physical silver is ever publicly available for less than $20 from any major online retailer, I will leave forever.
How's that for conviction, you spineless moron who can't tell the difference between abortion doctors and chemists?
Your just pissed off, Meth Man, because GEN sucks so damn hard it DROPPED more than Silver today! Holy shit you pick the shitty of the shitty! Time to sell that Ferrari soon! LOL!
LTTFTD (Listen to the fucking Tyler Durden)
Warmin up for the day of rage bitchez..lock&load on au/ag today
I add to miners on every dip. Not in this for a week or day trade.
No complaints at all.
-----Do you even realize what the components of the trade are? Perhaps you should go back and look at the original post...
I did and now I get it. nice trade
...sad .... all these comments.
Y'all sound like momo morons, not what Tyler was talking about at all ...
Tyler -- I'm too small-time to take a sophisticated spread like you recommended --
but I did see the danger signs that you pointed out,
man, they were Gross!
and when ZH and CNBC and Cramer all recommended shorting GM,
I figured how could I go wrong!
ZH rools
people are taking some money off the table? who cares?
silver is a long term, not a daily trade.. for myself.
Good Luck All!
Copper daily chart begins downtrend.
Gold to copper charts and ratios is that of the old fiat economic system, instead of looking at which side of the sails are full it is better to first check which direction the wind is coming from before deciding which direction to tack. When cash becomes as much a liabiity as it is an asset, it is time to decide which is which and move.
"1400s up Captain Kirk. Trendline break dead ahead 6 o'clock, Sir"
"Give me Warp speed Scotty"
I.. canna... keep.. 'er.. up.. Cap'n. 'er.. wing... 'r ...gonna go. She's gwinna blow the mounts anna... then 'er wings... Cap'n she's gonna blow!
I think Tyler is sending us secret coded messages with his typoes. Today's cryptic missive:
"Cold copper mast part"
Must be referring to a shop if some sort.

Melissa: [Laughs] Muggle...Potter...Cast...Leaky.
Andrew: Muggle Cauldron on-air.
Melissa: Well I'm really, really...I'm really, really proud because I'm the
first girl on MuggleCast.
Andrew: And we're the first guys.
Ben: The first MuggleNetters on Leaky Cauldron.
Kevin: It's true.
Melissa: Yes, you are definitely the first MuggleNetters
on Leaky Cauldron.
[All Laugh]
Andrew: So we all assembled here for a reason.
Kevin: We did.
Andrew: Melissa, would you like to explain?
Melissa: Sure, well we wanted to explain a little bit of what we learned
through this whole iTunes thing that happened this week. For those of
you who are unfamiliar with what happened, both of our podcasts got yanked
at the same time. We had no idea what happened. We both posted
(on our sites) at the same time. The Potter army went out in force and contacted iTunes.
Andrew: That's for sure.
Melissa: And within a few hours they had reinstated our podcast but never,
never told us what was going on. And today-
Ben: Yay.
Melissa: What, did you say, "yay?"
Ben: Yeah, that's right.
Melissa: Well, today I got an e-mail, that there was-I don't want to say what they did or did not do for sure. I don't know their
motivations, I don't know how it was pulled. But I think from my opinion, what
I was able to glean, is that they saw two Pottercasts up high and were
concerned that there were going to be copyright issues and they sort of
pre-empted it by putting it on pause for a little while.
Kevin: They were afraid of the lawyers, just as we are afraid of lawyers.
Melissa: Yeah, none of us can relate to that.
[All laugh]
Melissa: But, it looks like everything's fine and
we're going to keep going but-
Ben: Yay!
Melissa: Yeah, but there's one...we're going to have to...PotterCast, I think will have to change its album cover.
Kevin: Yep.
Melissa: Even though John Noe designed a really cool Podcast thing and we
love it but, you know. The silhouette
with the iPod is a trademark image and fair enough- it's trademarked and we,
we know how we all sort of... fool around with that, with Potter and
everything else.
Kevin: Yeah and we, we've (been written too) before.
Ben: Yeah. and I think I know why PotterCast is above MuggleCast. It is because...
Melissa: Oh?
Ben: Illegally trademarked image.
Andrew: Yeah, yeah.
Melissa: I'm sure.
Ben: And people go for the illegal stuff over -
Melissa: Yeah, because the Book 6 art with an iPod on it, that's totally
your own creation.
Andrew: But, but you should.
Ben: Are you trying to get us in trouble?
All: Shhh.
Kevin: You should say that they were very polite about it after you know the
e-mail. It was a big misunderstanding, so...
Melissa: No, I want to make that absolutely clear.
Kevin: We do thank the people from iTunes for giving us a head's up and
doing it promptly.
Ben: Thank you, iTunes.
Melissa: Yeah, they were very nice.
Ben: From the bottom of my heart.
Melissa: [Laughs] Yeah. Well it was sort of a night of, well, I mean we, we
had an auxiliary podcast ready to go.
Ben: We did.
Melissa: In case they didn't reinstate us. We all talked last night.
Kevin: Unfortunately you'll never hear it.
Melissa: Yeah, you will never, it's going to go down.
Ben: It was very interesting.
Andrew: Not just because things have changed but because that podcast would
have been very controversial.
Ben: It would.
Kevin: Definitely.
Melissa: Yeah.
Andrew: We had quite a few...
Kevin: Interesting moments.
Melissa: A couple of laughs, let's say.
Kevin: We'll just say if we would put up that podcast, we would be off the
iTunes Music Store for good.
Ben: Definitely.
Melissa: Perhaps, yeah. But it's fun, and no totally...iTunes
was very, very nice and very easy to talk to, so.
Kevin: That is one thing that we did include in the past podcasts that we
haven't said yet about our relationship, you know.
Melissa: Yeah, I hate MuggleNet. [Laughs and Snorts]
Kevin: Absolutely.
Melissa: No.
Andrew: Oh my God, speaking of TLC, it's just horrible, you know.
Melissa: Yeah, right.
Kevin: We sit around talking smack about each other.
Melissa: Oh my god, those guys. No, no! MuggleNet and Leaky...I hate
when people...All right, all right, I'm just going to go out and say it. I
HATE when people go on our comments and talk about us, as if there's this
huge rivalry and we hate each other. We don't, we clearly don't.
Kevin: Yeah, it's true.
Andrew: Yeah, we talk regularly.
Melissa: Yeah.
Kevin: Yeah and we go out on dates occasionally.
Ben: Yeah we do.
Melissa: Yeah, there's that, and shortly I'll be arrested.
[All laugh]
Ben: I'm an Emerson and Melissa shipper, forget Ron and Hermione.
Melissa: Oh no!
Andrew: Yeah, me too.
Melissa: I was wondering how long it would take to get here.
[All Laugh]
Melissa: Well, you know, he's off in college so...
Ben: Oh yeah, and for those of you who are wondering where Emerson's at
right now, go to [fuzzes out] South Bend, Indiana, and stop by.
[All Laugh]
Ben: Furthermore, he's playing dodgeball on the North Quad.
All speak at once
Melissa: He keeps us very apprised of what he's doing. He's playing dodgeball.
Andrew: Right now as we speak, for those of you who are curious.
Ben: Fly out to South Bend, and...
Kevin: If you have the opportunity, hit him.
Andrew: Yeah.
Kevin: Get in that game and aim for us.
Andrew: For Emerson.
Melissa: I'm really curious though. I'm really curious as to how
many people at Notre Dame know him? They're all the same age, so they all
grew up with Harry Potter and with MuggleNet, you know, the same way Emerson
Andrew: Well Emerson told us that everyone knows him.
Melissa: Mmmmm?
Kevin: Right, but that's Emerson.
Andrew: And if you go on the Notre Dame site you'll find a big picture of him.
Melissa: I saw that. [Laughing]
Andrew: Yeah, yeah.
Melissa: I got sent it by a friend. That was funny. I was wondering how
long it would take a newspaper or publication to pick up on it. That was
pretty fast.
Ben: Go to www.nd.edu.
Melissa: Well, why don't you guys post it on MuggleNet?
Ben: Because.
Kevin: He'd probably kill us.
Melissa: No so, everybody knows Emerson, down there?
Andrew: We're not cool anymore, we're those old hags that sit online and talk
to him.
Kevin: And another thing we have to reiterate, we do know Emerson for all
those fans out there. You know, they were joking in that podcast.
Andrew: There's a few things I was kidding about last episode, that was just
one of them.
Andrew: And no, I'm not closing MuggleNet the day Movie Seven comes out
Melissa: Well, I'm closing Leaky.
Ben: Uh oh. Don't start those rumors.
Melissa: I'm kidding everybody. Kidding. I know, I've got to say that very carefully. Yes, I'm kidding. No, Leaky will stay open. I think.
Ben: For those of you who want to try, you can before they actually fix
the bug in the iTunes Music Store...
Andrew: No, no...
Melissa: Don't do it, we're hanging on a thread already. They could yank us
at any moment.
Kevin: Leave it alone!
Ben: All right. Oh geez, it's not like they're going to listen to it!
Melissa: I don't know, maybe they will. Clearly they listened for potential
Kevin: Yeah, we are hoping that...
Andrew: Steve, you listening to this? Come on Steve, we're calling you out.
Ben: Steve Jobs.
Melissa: Steve Jobs.
Andrew: Let's go! Fix those glitches!
Melissa: Seriously, it is a big...
Kevin: Why won't you sell OS X by itself. Come on dude.
Melissa: Seriously, that's a really, that's a huge glitch.
Kevin: We are hoping that iTunes will address their issues soon because
we're sort of getting sick of it.
Ben: Don't you make fun of iTunes like that!
Kevin: I'm not making fun of it! All I'm saying is that, a lot of people are
getting heat-not only our podcast, but other podcasts about curtain issues
that are happening with iTunes. And we would like it to be fair and we would
like it to be fixed as fast as possible so that we can...
Melissa: We can what?
Kevin: Brag about our dominance over PotterCast.
Melissa: I know, I was waiting for that. Well, I'm sorry.
Andrew: Hahaha, just kidding, guys.
Melissa: I'm sorry.
Kevin: We are kidding, we are kidding.
Melissa: You walked into this one. You can't brag about it right now. I'm
sorry, I wouldn't have teased you but you walked right into it.
Ben: What? What are you talking about? I don't even see PotterCast...
Melissa: Uh huh.
Ben:...in the top twelve.
Melissa: Uhm hm.
Ben: PotterCast is at 13 on my list, what about you guys?
Kevin: And what's going on with the logo?
Andrew: Actually, PotterCast is No. 4 on mine.
Melissa: There is a word that starts with "D", that I will never utter again
in my life, but I know what you're thinking.
Kevin [fake coughs while saying]: Delusional!
Melissa: Actually, no, I never uttered it the first time but I still won't
utter it again. So, there you go. It's fun. What's going to happen and I think
what Potter fans will see is that this is why we want to preempt
this whole competition thing, because...
Kevin: We're not in competition.
Melissa: Every, but every week. One week, you guys are going to be higher, one
week we're going to be higher, it's just, it's going to be like that. They're two
totally different shows. I think that they both fill a need. I see no reason
why somebody can't be subscribed to both. I am. So, that's
what we want to...we love each other. We, MuggleNet and Leaky help each other. We do things together. Clearly we're on a podcast together, we're
having fun. I mean there's so much hate in the world in general, and when we insert hate between Harry Potter sites, I think
we've sort of gone overboard.
Kevin: And all it does is, it gives a more vast variety of opinions.
Melissa: Yeah, absolutely.
Kevin: Yeah.

Few would expect a company that cut the salary of every employee by 20 percent to be selected a top workplace in Orange County, based on employee evaluations.
But Trace3, a computer systems integrator in Irvine, ranks first among small companies. In addition, owner Hayes Drumwright is the recipient of a special leadership award for small companies.
"Hayes called or met face to face with every employee and had a conversation about (the pay cut)," said Chief Financial Officer Nate Julson. "He let them know he fully intended to re-instate salaries and when he did re-instate them it gave us a lot of credibility with employees. We lost no employees because of it."
Drumwright agreed. "I believe the reason we are (growing) the way we have this year is that there is now a real trust between management and most of the employees that had to deal with the pay cut in 2009. That was miserable for all of us, and many thought I would never bring the pay back up. When I didn't, I think people realized it was a move we made only to protect ourselves versus trying to pull a fast one on people or just cut (compensation) in general."
Drumwright started Trace3 with $100 in 2002. The company has grown 60 percent to 70 percent annually since then. After the slowdown in 2009, the company will grow almost 90 percent this year. It expects to almost double its staff of 120 in the next 12 months.
In anonymous surveys that are part of the Top Workplaces selection process, employees described Trace3 as fun, open, easy going, not like work.
"I view everybody at Trace as my family," one said.
"It allows me to create something greater than myself," another said. "My son asked me why I go to work every day, and I...told him the truth. I go to work because I love going to work. Trace3 is the best company I have ever worked for."
"Everyone is so passionate about what they do here, and it's contagious," said Maria Villapudua, an accounts payable manager. "You feel like part of a team. If you do well, everyone knows."
That public acknowledgement of a job well done is integral to the company's culture, Drumwright said, but the reward does not come from top management. The company pays its sales representatives significantly more than the industry standard and these reps pay "spiffs," or immediate bonuses to fellow employees who help them succeed.
"If we're generous with employees, they will be generous with each other," Drumwright said. "It drives loyalty at the very local level."
The spiff program is not mandated or expected, Julson said, "but the most successful sales reps do it, and the others are smart people looking at ways others are being successful and emulate it."
The program astonished Villapudua. "I've been doing accounts payable for years. It's not thrilling; it's numbers. And to have a sales person send a note, 'I appreciate what you do' and share money is tremendous. I've never encountered that in any other company and I've worked at great companies."
Drumwright said he always hired top talent from the IT departments of Fortune 500 companies. "We never want mediocrity. If we make a mistake in hiring, we correct it quickly. We keep every employee to the highest standards, which is inspiring to people who work here."
President John Pfaff said the key factor in attracting the best employees is "empowering them to manage their work like it's their own business...I hire people who don't need to be managed because I didn't like being managed that much when I worked at other companies. Everyone knows the job they do has a quantifiable impact on the corporate bottom line."
Julson credited Hayes' leadership style. "He is extremely proactive. He may be the most effective communicator I've ever worked with. He can do it in front of 400 people or face to face. He always starts from the employee's point of view and works backward."
The Orange County office of Ernst & Young recently honored Drumwright as one of its Entrepreneurs of the Year for 2010.
Trace3 runs every aspect of the business according to three-year plans that Drumwright prepares and shares with everyone.
After an employee asked why he didn't cut sales compensation to bolster Trace3's bottom line, Drumwright shared his answer with the entire company.
"Have you ever given any real thought to why it is that Trace3 continues to grow at the pace it has without major setbacks?" he wrote. "I believe we are able to do this because we have avoided 'splintering.'"
Many companies stall around $50 million in revenue because they start cutting employee pay to boost EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), he explained. That's when top sales representatives decide they can do better and earn more by staring a competing company.
"I do believe there is an amount of money that is 'enough' for people. I just do not think that is Hayes Drumwright's decision to make for everyone. That is why we can spiff at Trace3...I want loyalty and teams to stay in small groups with an overriding loyalty and appreciation for the whole entity that has provided the opportunity. It is truly a way to keep a small feel as the company gets huge."

Look to the Rock From Which You Were Hewn
One of the artifacts CTS will leave behind in its old building is a stone with the inscription, "an authentic piece of Plymouth Rock." Embedded in the wall of the cloister walk along with stones from various other places of ecclesiastical and historical import, this shard evokes amusement and reflection, not to mention wonderment at what the University of Chicago economists will make of it when they move in. Anyone who has been to Plymouth, Massachusetts knows how un-authentic Plymouth Rock itself is – a late addition to the landscape that would never have felt the touch of the shoes of William Brewster and company as they stepped off the Mayflower. So what does an authentic piece of an inauthentic rock really mean?
When our current building was constructed CTS was decidedly Congregationalist in its ethos and relationships, sharing with the church an origin myth deeply embedded in the story of the Pilgrim mothers and fathers. Growing up in New England, baptized in a Congregational Church before the union that formed the United Church of Christ, I was steeped in that legend and lore. Refugees from religious tyranny in England, the Pilgrims of my childhood risked all for the right to organize congregations gathered not by bishop or king, but by the people themselves under the Word. Their early months in Plymouth were marked by struggle, tragedy, and death, and they were rescued not only by their own perseverance, but by the hospitality of friendly native peoples who taught them how to plant corn and fertilize it with fish, and who welcomed them in a proto-Thanksgiving feast of turkey and squash. On the Sunday before Thanksgiving we were given five grains corn to take home to our table, a reminder of the privations faced by our spiritual forebears. One of my favorite children's books was the story of a friendship between a Pilgrim boy named John Billington and an Indian child named Squanto. Each Thanksgiving my mother brought out wax candles shaped like a Pilgrim mother and father. Never burned, they decorated several decades of our family's thanksgiving table.
Historians have revised much, though certainly not all, of this story. The alleged friendship of the native tribes was marked by far more suspicion and competition than we'd like to recall, and within a few years the grim history of the native genocide would begin nearby at the hands of European colonizers unwilling to share place and space with the original inhabitants. In college I would learn that the Pilgrims were a kind of side show compared to the Puritans when it came to the cultural and religious shaping of New England. The democratic impulses that shaped Plymouth weren't able to withstand a more authoritarian and hierarchical style in nearby Massachusetts Bay, let alone the mercantile interests that ultimately triumphed. Even the "first thanksgiving" menu has been debunked in favor of more likely game, fish, fowl, and vegetables. Perhaps leaving behind our authentic piece of Plymouth Rock is simply a positive sign of growing up and giving up our childish ways.
I wouldn't say I'm grief stricken at leaving Plymouth Rock behind for the economists to ponder or chisel away. But I will miss this odd and unlikely artifact. Maybe it's because it reminds me of childhood celebrations of Thanksgiving at home and at church. Maybe it's because it evokes cherished memories from trips our youth group – the Pilgrim Fellowship – took to the historic sites at Plymouth Bay or First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod. Or maybe it's because I'm among the last generation of religious folk for whom the Pilgrim's story will probably have much meaning in a culture that only sees a pilgrim hat on the giant Garfield the Cat balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
I'm not, willing, however, to pass it all off completely as an acute attack of nostalgia. For in a political culture today marked by growing class divides, the corrupting influence of wealth, election campaigns resembling blood combat, growing indifference to the poor and increasing hostility to modern day refugees stumbling onto our shores, the Pilgrims, for all their flaws (and history will note ours as well!) do offer us a prophetic voice. It came in the form of a covenant, a Compact – the Mayflower Compact – and it named the kind of civil society that sadly seems so hopelessly elusive today. They "solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another," did
"covenant, and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation, and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and form such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, offices from time to time as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience." Anno Domino 1620
This week our current civil body politic failed miserably in its efforts to deal with deficits that burden future generations and budgets that privilege the wealthy few over the poor and near poor. So much for just and equal laws meet and convenient for the common good! This Thanksgiving I'll rub my hand across our authentic piece of an inauthentic Rock, like that rock Isaiah called us to remember, giving thanks for a vision of community that can still inspire, and for an origin myth that can still teach us, like the ancient myths of Scripture, something of the truth about the best and the worst of who we were, who we are, and who we yet might become.

I have a client who has a Cisco ASA 5505 device. I am not familiar with these devices at all.
The client has a problem where it allows outbound from traffic from an old DNS server (10.236.72.100), but not from a new DNS server (10.236.72.3).
I currently have a forwarding setup on the new server to forward DNS queries to the old server.
Old server = Windows Server 2003 New server = Windows Server 2008 R2
As far as I can tell, the issue lies with the Cisco device. Can someone please help?

My love hate relationship with Sunday
Sunday, July 29, 2012
I either look forward to or dread Sundays. Since Monday feels like a fresh start its easy to make Sunday my "cheat day." But coming out of a bad month i need to maintain focus on portion and power through at least 2 weeks of clean sane eating before I even step on the scale. I know I gained weight during the past month being so out of control, but i refused to get on the scale and see what the damage actually was. Some may say "face the music," know what weigh so you know how much you need to lose and how much your binge cost you.....But for me the mental obsession of the scale just adds to the unhealthy choices I make. Getting on the scale would cause me to cut my food back so much I would starve, then I would try to workout like a mad woman, eventually I would lose control being so hungry and dealing with the mental guilt and torture and have another binge. So Im waiting til I am 2 weeks clean with healthy eating, then Ill get on the scale (maybe) and see what I am dealing with. I am already feeling better, thinking clearer, doing some journaling (which by the way if I go MIA on spark chances are I am in the food) and reading the AA book and 24hours a day book for guidance and insight. If you have not read the AA book (or at least parts of it) I highly suggest you pick up a copy. Addiction is addiction in my opinion and I simply replace their alcohol/alcoholic verbage with food related terms.
So its sunday, Im eating clean, I have no plans for today to get out of the house. This will be a relaxing day, but it will be a struggle to stay out of the food and not obsess over it. I can do it though. HAppy eating to all!

I feel a little lost on Sundays. I've never been married or had children and have not been in a relationship for many years. I'm torn between not wanting any obligations on sunday to counteract hectic weeks and wanting some structure to my day so that I don't eat just for distraction. I do that less and less now, but it's still a concern.
I agree with you about not weighing yourself until you've been on track for a bit. Weighing myself has rarely been the real impetus for me to change. It can even be used as the reason to eat!
Although it is an alternative point of view, you might consider reading the book Brain Over Binge. It's about a recovered bulimic, but I know some bingers have found help with their habit, too.

Tingling in Hands and Feet
In this article
Causes of Tingling in the Hands and Feet continued...
Nerve entrapment syndromes. These include carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve palsy, peroneal nerve palsy, and radial nerve palsy.
Systemic diseases. These include kidney disorders, liver disease, vascular damage and blood diseases, amyloidosis, connective tissue disorders and chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances (including hypothyroidism), and cancers and benign tumors that impinge on nerves.
Vitamin deficiencies. Vitamins E, B1, B6, B12, and niacin are essential for healthy nerve function. A B12 deficiency, for example, can lead to pernicious anemia, an important cause of peripheral neuropathy. But too much B6 also can cause tingling in the hands and feet.
Alcoholism. Alcoholics are more likely to have a thiamine or other important vitamin deficiencies because of poor dietary habits, a common cause of peripheral neuropathy. It's also possible that alcoholism itself can cause nerve damage, a condition that some researchers call alcoholic neuropathy.
Toxins. These include heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and thallium, and some industrial and environmental chemicals. They also include certain medications -- especially chemotherapy drugs used for lung cancer -- but also some antiviral and antibiotic drugs.
Infections. These include Lyme disease, shingles (varicella-zoster), cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, herpes simplex, and HIV/AIDS.
Autoimmune diseases. These include Guillain-Barre syndrome, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Inherited disorders. These include a group of disorders collectively known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Injury. Often related to trauma, nerves can be compressed, crushed, or damaged, resulting in nerve pain. Examples include nerve compression caused by a herniated disc or dislocated bone.

Welcome aboard!I won't hold that against you...I am a huge Ford-natic
Howdy all.
Another new guy here from North Carolina. Although I have always liked guns, I didn't own any handguns till the recent passing of my father. At that point I acquired all of his firearms.
A little about me; I am 39, was born and raised in eastern Iowa, lived there till 2002 when I moved to NC. I love drag racing, and have been bracket racing since 1992. I am a huge Ford-natic, and also enjoy hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors.
I'm sure that once I get all of my father's reloading equipment I will have several questions for everyone.

Someone told me that saying "Mach dir die Augen zu " is rude. He told me that to make it more polite say " Mach die Augen zu". Does using the reflexive pronoun "dir" makes it more direct? If the reflexive pronoun is removed it's like using the pronoun "man" ?

I personally would not consider this saying to be rude. Most of the times, using "dir" in this case is leading to a more specific result. For example:
This could basically mean that someone is supposed to close any jacket. It could even be one that he is not even wearing. It just says that someone should close a jacket and it depends on what the speaker is looking or pointing at whether he means the jacket the person is actually wearing.
This however is more specific. It definitely means that someone should close the jacket he is actually wearing.
Concering the eyes this is what I would conclude here: Because of the fact that someone is not able to for example close someone else eyes, there is no need in using "dir".
What would be said is
because it directly refers to the eyes of the person the speaker is talking to.
PS: One thing about that came to my mind because I was really thinking about this sentence to be rude.
This could actually be a rude sentence, because (depending on the context!) it could basically mean that somebody should die. Closing the eyes here could (!) refer to dying that is why this sentence could be considered rude.
However, as always, it is not that simple. It could also mean that somebody is supposed to close his eyes for receiving a present for expample and to be surprised afterwards. This really depends on the context.

How do you make it clear who a gift is intended for? You could put one of those gift tags on it. Or you could hand it to someone and say, "This is gift is for you."
No, no, both of those ideas are rubbish! The best way to demonstrate who the recipient is with Custom Gift Wrap ($14). Type in your loved one's name and - tada! - wrapping paper that eliminates the guesswork ... well, aside from what's on the inside.

It seems the next company to jump on the Windows Phone 7 leak train is going to be Samsung. A couple of photos of a possible device have hit the web today.
The single Windows button and sharp lines are reminding a lot of people of the Asus phone that leaked last week. This phone looks almost like it could be used as a weapon as angular as it is. No real details come with the photos, but that just leaves more room for speculation while we wait for Windows Phone 7 to hit the streets on an official level.

Local historical costumer Jennifer Rosbrugh has kindly put together an amazing web page for all your historical sewing needs. She regularly holds on-line classes (Victorian Corset, bustles, hats, and more) featuring many techniques for sewers of many skill levels. Not able to keep to a strict class schedule? No worries. She has begun a "home workshop" series, which provides historical costuming enthusiasts with handy DVD and booklet sets so you can sew at your own pace, in your own time.
Aside from these hands-on offerings, her web site is chock-full of helpful information to guide you on your sewing adventure. How to dress in period, how to properly fit a garment, how to shop in major chain stores for appropriate fabrics so you don't put your time into a garment and wonder why it does not look right. There are more esoteric items, like how one sits in a bustle. Yes, you want to know, don't you?
If historical costuming is not your cup of tea, I would still advise perusing her site, an perhaps taking a class. There are many historical techniques that can happily be adapted to today's clothing. You can use these techniques in your every day sewing to make your own work enviable. Things like fit and finish, why and where to bone, and managing fullness are all skills any sewer needs. You won't find these techniques in your typical sewing patterns anymore, but that does not mean that your garment would not be improved by them. Today's patterns have been simplified quite a bit, often leaving out the very steps you's need to get the look that turns "made with loving hands at home" into "professionally hand made."

It is becoming customary for any MotoGP preview worth its salt to begin with a single question: can anyone beat Marc Marquez this weekend? That same question was put to the riders during the pre-event press conference, to which Valentino Rossi gave the most obvious answer. Of course it was possible, he said.
"It is nothing special. What you have to do is do your maximum and improve your level." The only trouble is, every time Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, or Dani Pedrosa improve their level, so does Marc Marquez. But it is still possible, Rossi believes. "We are not very far. It is not easy, but nothing special."
Barcelona, like Mugello, is one of the tracks where Marquez is perhaps more vulnerable. It is a circuit where the reigning champion has always struggled – though for Marquez, "struggling" means only managing podiums rather than wins – and where the Yamahas, especially, have been strong.
Valentino Rossi has won here nine times, and Jorge Lorenzo has been either first or second at the track for the past five years. The track flows, and has a little bit of everything.
A long, fast front straight, some elevation change climbing up into the two stadium sections, the two "horns" of the Catalunya bull which the Montmelo circuit most resembles, a couple of esses, and long, flowing combinations of corners. Those corners more than compensate for the front straight.
Jorge Lorenzo reckoned that the Yamaha had a top speed deficit of perhaps 4 or 5 km/h on the Honda, but that at Barcelona, this was less of an issue than at other tracks. After all, he pointed out, there are some 3.7 kilometers of corners in which to catch a Honda ahead of you.

The Pizza Boy mission is a side mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It can be started by entering any Pizza Boys parked at a Well Stacked Pizza. The objective is to deliver all pizzas given to you to customers standing on the streets within a time limit. The player has to perform a drive-by to deliver the pizzas. Fortunately the mission disables the Sub Machine Gun from firing if the player has one. The goal of the mission is to complete level 10. The reward for completing it is a health boost to 150 and $5000. Apparently the mission also rewards a parked Pizza Boy at the Vercetti Estate but errors in coding prevented that.

Lexus' Wide-view Front and Side Monitor helps drivers almost see around corners.
Modern conveniences can bring mundane dangers. To exit my bank's ATM, I have to drive down an alley and cross the sidewalk that sits beside the busy road that takes me home. I'm flanked by buildings on either side and parked cars on the road, so my usual procedure in this limited-vision situation is to carefully ease my car over the sidewalk—while holding my breath and crossing my fingers for luck—and then merge, slowly, into whatever traffic may be coming my way. The last time I performed this maneuver, I cut off a gentleman in a sports car. Fortunately, the only thing I damaged was his opinion of my driving skills.
Most drivers face visual handicaps at some juncture in their daily commutes. Remember the last time you inched your car into traffic at a visually obstructed intersection, head and neck craning over the steering wheel for a better view of the road to avoid colliding with some unidentified object bearing down on you out of nowhere?
Thankfully, a recent Lexus technological breakthrough helps you see what's coming: the new Wide-view Front and Side Monitor[1], which may someday be as standard as seatbelts, mirrors, and sound systems. Right now, though, you'll find this optional feature in the redesigned Lexus LX 570.
How it helps you see the unseen: When the vehicle approaches an intersection where side visibility is reduced, a front-grille camera—when activated—captures a broad view of the forward-peripheral surroundings, which displays on the navigation screen. Because the camera sits farther forward than the driver, this area of vision can help the driver better "see" around lateral obstructions. Not only that, a second camera under the passenger-side mirror exposes another hard-to-see area: the ground area on the right side of the car.
When turned on, the system activates when the vehicle speed falls below 7.5 miles per hour—in other words, during a cautious approach to a visually obstructed intersection. You can also set the display to show only the front camera's view, or show a split-screen of both cameras' fields of vision.
For me, this enhanced vision seems extrasensory. Rather than easing the nose of the new LX 570 into oncoming traffic to try to see what's coming, the Wide-view Front and Side Monitor helps ensure that the coast is clear.
Finally, an active safety system I can bank on.
Legal disclaimers
[1] The Wide-view Front and Side Monitor does not provide a comprehensive view of the front and side areas of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle, and use your mirrors to confirm clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy.

There are some brands out there that are so impossibly cool that I require some positive self talk before I feel that I'm ready to purchase their products. Like Apple. It took me until I was well into my 20s before I trusted myself enough to handle a Mac Air with the respect that it deserves. Same deal with my Oroton sunglasses. They were the first pair I purchased that cost more than $50 because I had to be absolutely sure that I wouldn't leave them to melt on the dashboard of my car. There are just certain brands where the magic never wears off, even years after you've purchased the item.
Bang & Olufsen is one of those brands. I liken their stores to a fancy restaurant, where there's only three mains on the menu but each is so perfect that you don't need any other options. I've seriously got my geek girl jollies on that B&O wanted to work with me. It's like all the über cool kids have invited me for Moët on their yacht and I'm trying to be really calm and 'Whatever…' about it but I'm probably going to fart because I'm too excited. Their sub-brand B&O PLAY is genius because it puts their beautiful products at a far more accessible price point for people like me who's wallets don't stretch very far.
Last week the B&O crew sent over their Beolit 12 (RRP $990.00) portable sound system for us to play with for a few weeks so I could review it before they kicked off their competition (details below). When the package arrived I received a frantic text from my significant other saying 'CAN I OPEN IT??????' and by the time I got home from my meeting he had set it up shrine-like in our lounge room. The sound on this thing is insane. It's about the size of a car battery and it fills our flat to the point that we have to yell at each other to be heard. Perfect to drown out my off-key warbling to The Phantom of The Opera. The sound quality is beautiful especially considering how small it is. We live in a smallish one bedroom flat and don't have a huge amount of space to spare so we don't have a stereo system at all. The Beolit 12 has been sitting on our bookshelf since it arrived and has slipped so seamlessly into our lives that I'm slightly worried for when the B&O crew come to take it away. There may be tears. There's only about three buttons on the thing and it's so straightforward even I know how to work it. I can even play music straight through Airplay from my phone via WiFi which means I don't have to stand up. Always a win. If there's one thing that B&O have nailed, it's beautiful design. Look how pretty it is! Look!
You can also charge this little baby and you'll be able to enjoy up to 8 hours of music play and take it on picnics with you. I thought I'd feel like a knob head listening to my swanky portable stereo system at the park but you know what? It was actually awesome. You can also play the sound from your iPad through it if you're watching a movie. Rad.
As I mentioned before the B&O crew are running an Instagram comp where you can win one of three Beolit 12 portable sound systems. Details below.
1. Take a photograph that expresses where or how you wish to PLAY with the Beolit 12. It could be a space, area or activity, or a part of your lifestyle that you think the Beolit 12 would transform.
2. Upload the photograph on Instagram, including the following:
a. The hashtag #beoplaytime
b. description of your BEOPLAYtime: E.g. "B&O PLAY means I can have amazing music playing anywhere I choose to be, whether at home or by the sea! #beoplaytime"
Once your Instagram image is successfully uploaded with the #beoplaytime hashtag you will have been entered into the competition.
This competition is only open to Australia and New Zealand residents. Any entries from outside Australia or New Zealand will be disqualified. (T&Cs) Competition dates: OPEN 00:00 AEST MONDAY 12 NOV CLOSES 24:00 AEST MONDAY 26 NOV
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to book my man into therapy for his impending separation anxiety when they come to take his Beolit away.
P.S How awesome is the Beoplay A8? It's like music from the future.

TC TO GEORGE BOYD; 14 August 1824; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18240814-TC-GBO-01; CL 3:136-137.
Birmingham, 14th August, 1824—
Dear Sir,
I would have answered your letter sooner but for a long series of movements and countermovements I have had to execute. I also wished to read Goethe's Book,1 before determining on your proposal with regard to it. This I have at length done: I find it will not answer. The work is incomplete, the first volume only having yet appeared; and it consists of a series of fragments, individually beautiful, but quite disjointed, and in their present state scarcely intelligible. I have my eye upon another book of his; but as yet it is very dubious. For the present I am busy with a Life of Schiller, which is to come out I expect early in winter.
I came to Birmingham in pursuit of health; I have been here some weeks, and design continuing some weeks longer. My address is: Care of John Badams Esqr, Birmingham. After September it will be: 4 Myddelton Terrace, Pentonville, London— Mr Badams, my physician and kind friend, is a person whom you may perhaps know more here after. As a practical chemist I predict that, should life and health be spared him, he will have few rivals in Europe. Among a multitude of other subjects which have occupied him, some of which he is turning to splendid account already, he has for the last few weeks been engaged in investigating the properties and composition of printers' ink; in which I understand he has succeeded in effecting considerable savings of expense and other improvements. I have mentioned your house to him, as one well suited to appreciate and profit by his discoveries; and it is not impossible that by and by I may use the freedom to introduce to you a specimen of his ware, that you may try and judge.
I am anxious to hear of Meister. From your account combined with the sale of the work in London, I should suppose the first edition must be nearly done; and by way of making good the ground we have gained, I think a second ought to be made to follow without delay. The Book has been sufficiently puffed and censured to awaken the public curiosity respecting it; and the more it is known, the more I am confident will it be relished. But the iron should be kept hot. Will you be so good as to let me hear your views on this subject, when you conveniently can? I have several alterations to make, and should like to have time before me. If you feel indisposed to take another edition, the first having sated you,—of course you are free.— I took a copy from Whittaker, using the freedom to reckon it as another Author's copy, and to say that I would settle with you about it. Goethe's copy I found means of sending to him; but as yet no answer has arrived.
Believe me always, / My dear Sir, /
Truly yours, /
Th: Carlyle—

You've probably seen the recent ads addressing some
customers' frustrations with frequent flyer programs.
Southwest Airlines is touting "no blackout dates"
for its Rapid Rewards program. Alec Baldwin is pushing
Capital One's Venture Card, which allows customers to
"fly any airline, anytime." If you're a member
of a frequent flyer program, you've probably experienced
some of the challenges of trying to earn and then cash
in your miles. If you're considering joining a program,
you may be wondering, "Is it worth it?"
The answer is: It depends. Obviously, the first
factor to consider is, how often do you fly? Do you
usually travel domestically or internationally? If you're
an incredibly frequent flyer, are you interested in
the perks offered to this elite class? Your choices
may be limited by which airlines fly from your local
airport or which airlines your company wants you to
fly. Even if your company pays for your flights, you
may have to pay for any upgrades you earn.

How To: Make iTunes scan folders for new music
One of my biggest complaints about iTunes is that it doesn't monitor folders for new music. Well, after a little trial and error, here's a quick way to make iTunes scan a folder and add any songs that aren't currently in your music library.
- Run iTunes.
- Choose "File" > "Add To Library…"
- Browse and choose the folder you wish to scan
This will cause iTunes to scan the music folder, adding any new tracks that in the folder and subfolders without duplicating music that is already in your iTunes library.
Side note to Merrin: To use for your laptop, browse & select the Music folder on the network drive.
Comments (7)
You are so clever!
Nice tip. I'll have to try that. I don't like that it doesn't scan either.
okay, it didn't work for me.
@Steff – thanks.
@rob – Really? It works for me. I'll check the version of iTunes and we can compare notes offline. Mines' a Mac version, of course, but that shouldn't matter.
maybe it's my pc. oh well.
happy thanksgiving!
I can't get iTunes to STOP monitoring folders! It keeps importing songs as I rip them but I don't want it to. I keep all my files on a seperate HD and when I move the songs I end up with duplicates and 'cannot find file' errors. How do I REMOVE folders from being monitored?
Jesse – Sounds like you have iTunes set up to copy music to your iTunes folder when adding to library, which is an option in the "ADVANCED" Preferenses Menu (or Options Menu for PC users). iTunes is throwing a copy in your local hard drive, but when you move it – it is no longer in the Music folder, hence the "!" next to your files.
My suggestion – For windows users with music on a seperate drive, your almost better ripping CDs in another application (like Windows Media Player), copying them to your Music folder on your other drive, and then dragging & dropping them on your iTunes window. To avoid duplicates, make sure that iTunes is not copying files to your iTunes Music folder when adding to the library (Advanced Options).

2011 Top Moments: Texas Tech Opens Big 12 Play With Thrilling Win Over Tigers
The Red Raiders opened Big 12 with a thrilling 1-0 shutout victory over Missouri.
Dec. 20, 2011
2011 Top Moments: Big 12 Opener
*** The Texas Tech soccer team has improved on its previous year in each of the last five seasons under head coach Tom Stone. In 2011, several milestones were reached and more records were broken as the Red Raiders continues their climb towards the top of the Big 12 Conference.
"Despite the disappointment of not being selected to the NCAA Tournament at the end of the season, we will look back at 2011 as another stop forward," Stone said. "A true style of play emerged for us this year, we had real depth for the first time and we had some significant wins at home and on the road. All these experiences set the table nicely for our 2012 campaign."
TexasTech.com will take a look at the Top Five Soccer Moments from 2011 over the next five days and let the fans decide on their favorite on the final day by going to the official Facebook page of the Texas Tech Athletic Department.
In front of a packed John Walker Soccer Complex on the opening weekend of Big 12 play, the Red Raiders turned in one of the most exciting matches of the season.
In a classic Friday night match against Missouri, the Red Raiders took just three minutes to take an early 1-0 lead over the Tigers on a goal by sophomore Jessica Fuston. The early momentum proved to be all Texas Tech needed as the Red Raiders shutout Missouri 1-0 to pick up the pivotal Big 12 victory and move to 1-0 in conference play.
"This was a big win for us," head coach Tom Stonesaid after the match. "It was nice to get this win, and to do it in front of the home fans made it special."
The crowd of 1,426 witnessed goalkeeper Victoria Essonmake five crucial saves on the night to help secure Tech's sixth shutout victory of the season.
The win marked the program's first over Missouri since the 2006 season, and came on a night when both the Lubbock Soccer Association and the Texas Tech soccer alumni were recognized.
"We were thrilled to have so many [alumni] come back and re-connect with us," Stone said "It was a goal of ours to show them how far we have come and how much their contributions mean to us."
Despite scoring just a single goal on the night, Tech never let up on the offensive end. The pressure was led by an unrelenting presence from senior and eventual NSCAA All-Central team selection Taylor Lytle.
"Lytle was fantastic," Stone said. "She made the game for us all night. The early goal helped, but we were committed to attacking as a point of our game plan not to let Missouri get rolling. They did have their moments as well, but outshooting the Tigers and having more corner kicks than them speaks to our ability to withstand pressure and still get into attack mode."
The win helped the Red Raiders improve to 4-1 all-time in Big 12 Conference openers under Stone.

The clock is now ticking and while there is not an overwhelming sense of urgency, there is a feeling among BC officials that the person to replace Gene DeFilippo needs to be identified, vetted, interviewed and hired by the middle of September.
Look for an Oct 1 starting date.
BC will not have a shortage of candidates. It is a good job and BC paid well. DeFilippo was paid approximately $550,000 last year, but he made twice as much as that two years ago because of options which kicked in to his contract that was on perennial 5-year roll over basis.
So money is not the issue. What is important is whether the new person fits into the BC culture. BC is not like many other colleges. You could make a strong argument that despite the recent lack of success in the majority of the revenue producing sports, it is better than most other colleges.
Great campus, great school, great city, with a strong network of alumni who will take care of BC grads when they are finished with their education.
But the big time athletics is a different world. Murkier, dirtier. You have to get your hands dirty sometimes, even if you are not dirty.
Scandals-ranging from point shaving, gambling, academic fraud to down right cheating are part of the picture more and more often these days.
Under Gene DeFilippo's 15-year run, BC athletics has been clean of major violations–give Gene credit for that.
He also must be young–look for under 50, someone from an FBS school (football still drives the bus) someone who will sell BC on the golf course, at banquets and in negotiations for radio and television rights (which is part of the conference picture as well).
There are candidates out there and they will be calling and BC will call back. One person they might call is Rutgers' athletic director Tim Pernetti. He is 42 and for the past three years as been part of a major project of building or rebuilding Rutgers into a big time, viable program not only in the Big East, but nationally. He fits the mold they have in mind.
There is still lots of work to be done but the infrastructure is there.
Will Pernetti come? BC should ask, at the very least, and find out.
The reason for this haste is simple in one regard. The BC football program is in some turbulent waters right now.
Another losing season will capsize the boat and BC football will have new leadership.
The new AD will make the call, which makes sense. Having someone in place by Oct. 1 will allow two months of evaluation of not only the entire athletic program, but also the football program.
We do not know who it will be, but we are almost certain of what their profile will be.

Suppose I'm given a linear system $$Ax=b,$$ with unknown $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$, and some symmetric $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ and $b=\in\mathbb{R}^n$. Furthermore, it is known that $A$ is not full-rank matrix, and that its rank is $n-1$; therefore, $A$ is not invertible. However, to compute the "solution" $x$, one may use $x=A^+b$, where $A^+$ is a generalized inverse of $A$, i.e., Moore-Penrose inverse.
What is the characteristic of such solution? More precisely, under which conditions will $x=A^+b$ give the exact solution to the system (supposing the exact solution exists)? Could one state that in the above case, with additional note that $b$ is orthogonal to null-space of $A$, the generalized inverse will yield the exact solution to the system?
