TV has had a good run, but things have changed. What was once a miracle of the modern age (well, the fifties) has become a turgid slush-pile of recycled idiocy, stuffed to the gills with pap and choking to death on its own acidic advertising reflux. There are still good shows. Very good shows in fact. But they're outnumbered to a Custerian level by stupefying nonsense intended mainly to fill the gaps between "important messages from our sponsors".
So while we often bang on about games not being interchangeable with other media, we reckon there's a good case for games replacing TV. Looking at the reasons people watch certain shows, it's become increasingly obvious that games can provide equivalent if not better experiences, and without the creeping sense of dissipating IQ points to boot. So unplug the aeriel cable, stick in another HDMI and give that screen a healthier second life.
The TV experience
Let's face it, there are two real reasons people watch talent shows. The first is that they have an insatiable lust for bland, soulless, instantly forgettable harmonised noises and want to know which heavily marketed new 'artist' is going to be the corporate-prescribed get-out from having to develope their own musical opinions for the next six months.
Above: ZZZZZZzzzzz... Wha?
The other, much more rewarding one, is to laugh at the talentless and mentally unstable, just like on a good old Victorianday tripdown at the local asylum. The Victorians also gave us light bulbs, heavy opium abuse and widespread STDs, so you know they had the right idea about their leisure time.
The better, video game alternative
Problem is, it's impossible to revel in the lighthearted fun of the afflicted's mortifying public failure without suffering the inevitable rise of the aformentioned vapid, overpaid warble-monger a few months later. Karma can be a bastard at times.
Above: Neverending comedy gold!
The solution? Buy SingStar for the PS3. Trawling through the uploaded videos in the SingStore's gallery of despair is like an endlessly regenerating advent calendar where the chocolate is replaced withdarkly comedicaudio-visual horror. And unlike TV talent shows, when you do stumble upon one of the boring, fairly talented ones, you can just close the vid and never have to hear from them again.
The TV experience
What was originally sold ten years ago as a groundbreaking social experiment is now, and has been for a long time, the most thoroughly depressing indictment of the plausibility of inverse human evolution ever witnessed by man or beast.
Above: Back yard. Shotgun.
What was billed as a warts-and-all observation of human interaction under extreme conditions is now a showcase for pioneeringly cretinous wastes of DNA to thrash their self-esteem to a pulp against the lens of a camera in the vain hope of improving their self-image through the fame of gross public degradation. It makes an amazing case for the idea of nuclear holocaust actually being a positive forward step for mankind.
The better, video game alternative
It's possible to draw some strong parallels between Big Brother and the Sims series. Both deal with artificial people attempting to further themselves through interactions with others within a limited environment. Both allow interference from an outside influence. And both provide the facility for the fame-hungry participants to chase their dream unashamedly.
Above: We would ring up to vote 1000 times a day for this stuff
Both game and TV show are based around the same basic hook and content, but with The Sims, the player can manipulate the entire situation to fit any experiment or scenario they want to play out. And crucially, in The Sims, the player can comedically murder any participant they want.Forced euthenasiamay also be the humane thing to do to most Big Brother contestants, but sadly in the real world it remains illegal. At least until they run out of ideas in another couple of series.
World of WarCraft would also be a good replacement. Not only does it provide some brilliant human observation potential through its thriving simulated society, it also centres around the concept of disparate, randomly-thrown-together people pretending to be something they're not while forging alliances of convenience to further their own cause.

Multiple 8b+ Redpoints for Ethan Walkerby Duncan Campbell - UKC Jul/2013
This news story has been read 6,326 times
Ethan Walker has been hitting the Peak Limestone hard in this recent good weather, and has come away with quick ascents of a lot of routes within the '8th' grade, from classics such as Mecca, 8b+, and Waddage, 8b, through to early repeats of routes such as Karma Killer, 8b, and Techno Prisoners, 8b+.
To begin with, Ethan concentrated on Raven Tor. Having previously focused on shorter routes, Ethan turned his attention to the longer routes of the crag. To get the best conditions, Ethan headed to the crag early in the morning, soon bagging an ascent of Waddage, an 8b that takes the full height of Raven Tor, climbing Chimes of Freedom, 8a+, before powering through the upper bulge with a big dyno move. Commenting on redpointing Waddage, Ethan said:
"The feeling of being up so high and having climbed so many moves in a row is exhilarating and I can now see what I've been missing out on all these years!"
Ethan then turned his attention to the classic power endurance test piece of Raven Tor, Mecca - The Midlife Crisis, 8b+. After sorting out his sequence, he began redpointing, getting further each go, Ethan found himself falling from the finishing crack when his foot popped. Returning for another session, Ethan managed to redpoint Mecca, describing his ascent he said:
"This time I made sure my feet were well placed and crimped up as hard as I could on the last moves and I was then left with the absolute joy of clipping the belay on this classic test piece. A lifetime dream, a route I've looked up at and wondered about since I first visited the Tor as a kid, was complete, and it felt damn good!"
Next up, Ethan headed to Water-Cum-Jolly to look at Karma Killer, 8b, first climbed by Tony Coutts, the route waited 10 years before seeing a repeat from Jon Clark. Ethan described the quality and nature of the route:
"It has been on my ever growing 'wish list' for some time and I finally went to give it a serious look back in May, but then it got wet so I turned my attention to other things... The crux revolves around a small, thin, 'cornflake' undercut and a one pad mono... it is a pretty unique rig and wouldn't be out of place in the Frankenjura. I was incredibly pleased and slightly bewildered to get this done and make the 4th(?) ascent. It's firmly up there with my favourite ticks without a doubt and I'd highly recommend it."
Once the summer started to really heat up, Chee Dale became the place to be and Ethan followed the conditions here also, returning to Gran Techo, 8b, a route he had tried previously. First climbed by Kristian Clemmow, Gran Techo, meaning 'big roof' in Spanish, crosses a large roof. After sending the route quickly, Ethan decided to look at Bob Hickish's direct; Techno Prisoners, 8b+, known for its reachy moves. Ethan described the effort he put into his actual redpoint ascent:
"I've had to try enormously hard on routes many a time, but my effort on Techno Prisoners seem to eclipse previous endeavours. It literally felt like the fight of my life! I could have dropped every move after the crux so easily, spat into the waiting void behind me. Maybe the next try would have gone better if I had blown it, and quite often I prefer to climb something with the feeling of being in total cruise control on every move. But to have tried so hard and succeed makes it all the more sweeter.
A big shout out has to be given to Kristian for all the hard work he puts in on establishing first ascents and re-equipping lines. He does A LOT! His Gran Techo rig is a total dream and I hope to see lots of people getting on it. Also cheers to Bob for having the vision and motivation to put up Prisoners!"
Ethan has also climbed the following stand-out routes in the past month:

Right to Life
By dcb on Mar 21, 2005
Mike Duigou got me thinking about the whole "Right to Life" topic. So has CNN. Allow me to post a brief personal commentary on this important subject.
First of all, it seems self-evident to me (and the founders of our nation and our universe) that humans have an inalienable right to life. Webster defines inalienable as "incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred". Here are some foundational texts that support this concept and upon which our national identity and our laws and our ethics are based:
Declaration of Independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
Constitution of the United States of America
Amendment V & XIV: No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law...
The Hippocratic Oath (has provided moral guidance to physicians for 2500 years)
I will not give a fatal draught (read: deadly drug) to anyone if I am asked, nor will I suggest any such thing. Neither will I give a woman means to procure an abortion.
The Holy Bible (King James Version)
Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill. (read: murder)
There are also several reasonable and legitimate ways in which our legal system provides for exemptions to an individual's right to life. For example, a person may choose to waive that right (eg: a living will, voluntary assisted suicide) and have their life terminated by another. Or that right may be withdrawn by a court based on a conviction of a capital crime (eg: death sentence). Or that right may be justly and forcefully preempted thru police action, acts of war, Presidential Order (sanctioned assassination of an enemy of the State), or (self) defense. Finally, a guardian may, under certain circumstances, make the choice to terminate the life of someone under their care (eg: a brain dead child or spouse).
I do believe that long-term medical life-support should be only applied to sustain life when there is a clear expectation of a reasonable recovery of a desired quality of life. Yes, I know those are ambiguous terms, wide open to (mis)interpretation. Naturally there will be cases about which reasonable people with no hidden agenda or conflict of interest might disagree. It is in these cases, where there is no living will (or decision by a devoted/informed guardian) and there does not exist compelling evidence of a persistent state of unconsciousness, that a society must choose life over death. It is simply not our place to play God. While it might be technically possible to sustain the biological "life" of a child with no brain wave activity using an iron lung, a kidney dialysis machine, a catheter, and heart bypass pump, no rational/loving person would desire an extended expression of technology overriding nature in a case like this.
However, the present case of Terri Schiavo stretches our ability to divine an ethically appropriate resolution to a life that is clearly demonstrating some level of cognitive ability. If our society prevails to involuntarily euthanize her, we should at least follow the humane process we use to terminate those on death row... inject her with pain killers followed by quick acting drug to stop her heart. How can we allow an innocent invalid who can't speak or scream in pain to starve to death over a period of one to two weeks! Try going without water for a day or two and see how you feel. That's pure torture and is as sick and barbaric as ripping apart a perfectly viable full-term baby from the womb their mommy. Yes, those are emotional words. For an unimaginable act.
Right to Life can be a complex issue at the boundary conditions and corner cases. However, those are extremely rare. The vast majortiy of cases of slavery, abortion, and euthanasia are easily resolved by simply considering the value of life and the motives of those who desire the termination of life or the alienation of rights.

Alone in Mexico
I kissed Ali and the kids goodbye and walked into the airport at eight o'clock in the morning. I finally reached the boat at six the next morning. Nobody said flying to Tucson and hopping a bus to Mexico was an efficient choice. But it did turn out to be a good choice for hauling boat gear over the border.
I had five boxes, one piece of luggage, one surfboard, and two shoulder bags to get back to the boat. All of which had been sent to a Bum friend's house in Tucson. Bruce picked me up from the airport and we spent a few hours out at his house enjoying a good dinner and amazing views over the city and straight out to the mountains beyond.
He dropped me off at the Tufesa station around ten, and by midnight I was crossing the border. "Who has all the boxes?" asked the customs agent walking down the aisle.
But no, not crap, because I had my magic piece of paper from the Banjercito office in Guaymas. The blank, signed copy, that the big round lady with the inappropriate cleavage had given to me, and that I had had the foresight to actually fill out before climbing on the bus. She took one quick look at that and I was good to go.
The bus was about to pull away when it suddenly occurred to me that I didn't get a tourist visa. Oh crap again. I ran up front and told the bus driver. He was hesitant, but eventually led me off the bus and over to the immigration office where the officer spent about fifteen seconds scribbling out a visa for me.
Okay, now we can go.
A taxi delivered me and my goods to the marina just after the sun came up. I found Bumfuzzle right where I left her with nothing but a dirty cockpit to indicate we hadn't been there for a month. I opened the door and no bugs or critters scurried across the floor—always a good sign. Best of all the bilge pump wasn't running. But since it wasn't running I pulled open the engine compartment just to be sure it hadn't simply failed. It hadn't.
I spent the morning working on the engine. Basically repairing all the stuff that I discovered (i.e. broke) right before leaving last month. I finished up the fuel pump and repaired the basket for the raw water filter. Online they wanted like eighty dollars for one of those things—instead I mixed up some epoxy, pushed the broken pieces together, poured the epoxy in the bottom, twirled it around so it would get in all the mesh, and it was fixed for free. I also began the process of draining and flushing out all of the coolant so I can use some Bar's Head Gasket Repair. I think the head gasket may be the culprit in the case of the missing coolant lately. I'm not certain, but figure this is worth a shot.
Then I worked on getting the wind instrument working again. I grabbed the new unit, ran through the setup procedure, and lo and behold we are back in business—after just eight months. Now I can head out and look for a gale.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of SolarCity Corp. (NASDAQ:SCTY) jumped 19% today after the company reported another outstanding quarter.
So what: First-quarter installations were 82 MW, at the high end of its guidance, and revenue more than doubled to $63.5 million. SolarCity's model defers revenue for as much as 20 years so actual loss attributable to shareholders was $24.1 million, or $0.26 per share.
The biggest news was that 2013 guidance was increased 25 MW to 500-550 MW and 2015 installed guidance was set at 900 MW to 1 GW.
Now what: SolarCity continues to grow at breakneck speed in residential solar and it's impressive to book 136 MW of installations in the quarter, of 80% of which were residential systems. The one flaw I see is a 139% increase in operating expenses to $81.8 million. SolarCity needs to keep operating expenses in check and keep retained value per watt, which fell about $0.05 to $1.83, high to generate value long term. But in a high-growth mode, it's expected to see operating expenses rise.
Long term, the guidance is extremely encouraging and even though I have questions about SolarCity from a valuation perspective, I can't deny that they're knocking it out of the park operationally.
Will this stock be your next multibagger?
SolarCity has been hot over the past year and if you're looking for another multi-bagger we have a great pick for you. Every year, The Motley Fool's chief investment officer hand-picks one stock with outstanding potential. But it's not just any run-of-the-mill company.

And previous top picks have gained upwards of 908%, 1,252%, and 1,303% over the subsequent years! Believe me, you don't want to miss what could be his biggest winner yet!

Ruth, an anorexic, is an emergency room doctor who sips 90 calories of chicken broth in between patients in order to keep her electrolytes level—and to keep from passing out. When she really gets hungry, she looks at "food porn" or pictures of food she wants to eat, but can't, by searching Google Images. And she's not the only doctor who frequents here.
Ruth's knowledge doesn't keep her from engaging in disordered behavior; it helps her perfect it.
"I know I should know better," she says. "I take precautions."
And she shares those precautions with other members of her online community.
"If there is a healthier, or less dangerous, way of—and I know this sounds bad—of starving yourself," she says, "I feel I have an obligation to tell them. It's no different than giving a clean needle to a drug addict; you do what's best in the moment, and some of these girls are very young and very naïve, and they will take chances that could end up killing them. That's when I step in."
And because so many members are successful students and professionals who are otherwise self-sufficient, those closest to them are often clueless. Many of the adults here have been hiding their disorders since their early teens.
"I go online after my husband falls asleep, and I always keep a second window open on the screen, so if he does wake up I just have to minimize what I don't want him to see," says Sarah.
In high school, when Sarah's eating disorder began, she says she would cut class and just eat all day.
"I would go drive through every fast food joint in a 5-mile radius of my school and eat until I couldn't breathe," she says. "Then I would hate myself. And then I would go to this dumpster behind a CVS to get rid of all the wrappers before someone saw them."
Sarah says back then she would binge, but not purge by vomiting. She would fast for days after the binge in an effort to "purify" her body.
"Then I'd get so hungry I'd do it all over again," she says. "It became this vicious, shameful cycle, one that I was good at hiding."
Despite binging and purging once per day, Caitlyn, a pre-law student, doesn't believe she has a problem at all. "It's a bad habit. It's not a good thing, but neither is smoking."
After being a member of the site for four years and showing she was a responsible member, Caitlyn was chosen to be a moderator.
Moderators are like managers on the site. They censor discussions that give away dangerous tips. They break up arguments and arrange meet-ups for members. Three times a year hundreds of members from Caitlyn's site meet in California, New York and London. Some come from other countries to attend them.
"Does that sound crazy?" she asks. "These women are my family. They have helped me through some of the most difficult times of my life."
Caitlyn, 19, comes off as a completely together, confident and happy young woman. In one post she is helping another member with Calculus homework, in another she is talking a member through a breakup, and coaching another girl about why "dying young, thin and pretty" isn't actually better than dying "old and fat." But in another comment, Caitlyn sounds like a completely different person.
Posts like "How many calories will you burn giving blood?" "What did you binge on today?" or "What was your most embarrassing eating disorder moment?" are common around here and Caitlyn addresses the last one.
She recalls sitting in a classroom next to her friend, who has no clue she has "food issues." Like Sarah, Caitlyn doesn't ever use the words "eating disorder."
"I don't like saying that," she says. "Maybe because I don't think I really have one sometimes."
Caitlyn says her friend was complaining about a smell in the room, when Caitlyn realized it was her.
She had dried vomit underneath her fingernails.
"Hey, things happen!" she jokingly says in the post.
There are more than 30 replies to "embarrassing eating disorder moments."
In another post Caitlyn worries about her teeth, after an older member says she has to have a bunch of her teeth pulled, even though she had only purged for a few months years ago. She says the dentist told her it was malnutrition that caused her teeth to rot and posts a picture of her teeth, a combination of yellow, brown and black stubs.
With holiday celebrations, games, contests and chat rooms included in the forum, and at least one hundred people available to speak to at any given time with only the click of a mouse, it is easy for relationships to form and personal information to be shared. And there are tight bonds here.
"Being here makes me feel less disgusting," says Andy, a 17-year-old girl who has been both anorexic and bulimic for the past three years. "There's this camaraderie that you form here, just by knowing you are not alone with your disorder."
Jessie, 16, is a member of a different, but similar support site. Her profile is a normal teenager's profile. Her favorite band is The Killers. Her favorite TV show is CSI. Her picture gallery is filled with photos from her birthday and her last vacation, and a cheerleading photo.
At first, she looks like a happy, healthy and popular teenager. But scroll down a little bit further and there are pictures of her arms with seven fresh 2-inch slices from her wrist to her elbow on top of older healed up scars.
Jessie has been binging, purging and starving herself for years and maintains a healthy—a word that makes her cringe—weight for her height. She started cutting herself with an X-Acto knife she had for a school project, as punishment for eating too many calories. Then, she says, it just became a habit.
She says her eating habits are normal, but are in no way an eating disorder because she doesn't fit the profile of an anorexic or bulimic as spelled out in the DSM. She, too, still gets her period and isn't underweight. "And I look fine," she says.
The cutting, she says, is a problem, but one she can live with.
"Some people bite their nails when they are stressed…. It's not a big deal but it makes getting dressed in the morning hard sometimes."
Jessie says no one knows about her cutting—not uncommon among those with eating disorders—but she has had a few close calls, like when she was taking a math test in school.
"I was halfway through, and then I see red coming through my sleeve, and I quickly ran out of the classroom and got my sweater to put on over it." she says. "I told the teacher I thought I was going to be sick."
Jessie, who always wears long-sleeved shirts as part of her Catholic high school uniform, has been visiting an eating-disorder support site for years. She met her best friend there. They exchange Christmas and birthday gifts each year.
"My friends at home, they don't get me anymore, and we grew apart," she says. "I have more in common with the people I meet here. They understand and don't judge me like everyone else."
And understanding brings comfort in the simplest forms. Members of these communities can appreciate how ironic the clothing brand "a.n.a." is. And the volumizing shampoo called "Binge." They will usually know the words to obscure songs like Queen Adreena's "My Silent Undoing," Ted Leo and the Pharmacists' "Me and Mia," and Jill Sobule's "Lucy at the Gym." They will probably even get how ridiculous the makeup on the actress who plays the anorexic girl in A Secret Between Friends is. They will know that Mad Men star Christina Hendricks first played a bulimic girl in the movie Hunger Point. They get inside humor like "I had three fingers for dessert," and answer "lol" instead of "wtf."
And, although they probably weren't born when it was made, they've probably watched parts of Kate's Secret on YouTube and laughed about how stereotypical '80s it is, or cried reading Marya Hornbacher's Wasted because it's so real to them.
They also most likely will know that products—like diet sodas and mustard—can legally be labeled as having zero calories if they contain less than five calories per serving. Or that a red string around another girl's wrist can mean they have something in common that in no way involves Kabbalah.
But for some former members now in recovery, they feel that having so many people with the same problem together is a bad thing, whether they are exchanging dangerous tips or not.

I have a problem with an end-user who can't connect to their MySQL Server.
The facts:
- Client is Windows XP on a corporate Domain. Group policy has disabled Windows Firewall and there is no other firewalling software installed.
- The software MySQL's own query browser, v1.1.20, and is a permitted install.
- The username and password are correct.
- The query browser takes longer than a normal connect when trying then returns the error message "
MySQL Error Number 2003 - Can't connect to MySQL Server on 'hostname
' (10060)"
- The query browser can "ping" the server with no problem.
- Manually connecting using Window's own
telnetcommand succeeds and the handshake initiation is clearly visible. So the hostname resolves on that PC and there is no networking issue (e.g. routing).
- We've tried re-installing the query browser to no avail.
- The server is running fine and everyone else who needs to connect (including myself) can successfully connect, most of them using the exact same version. So it is not a server problem.
Googling the error shows this is a classic unavailable connection problem and lots of links show fixes for the server, but the problem seems to reside entirely in the install of the query browser, which doesn't make any sense. Thus Google is no help.
Has anyone else seen this or can offer suggestions?

Frank Martinez is special counsel on copyright and fair-use issues
for AIGA. Frank has considerable experience in copyright, trademark
and patent law; he was responsible for typeface design issues at
the U.S. Patent Office; has worked with design firms and typeface
designers; and teaches in the graduate program at the School of
Visual Arts in New York.
Under U.S. copyright law, the designer is the owner of all files
and artwork created for the client, and the client is the owner of
the end product (i.e. a printed business cards). Release of
electronic files to the client is at the discretion of the designer
and is determined by the type of project. Copyright ownership may
be transferred to the client for a fee that is based on the uses
for which rights are being transferred. This is specified in a
proposed agreement for the design of an identity system.
The client returns the proposed agreement with the copyright
section crossed out by the client and with this added: "The work to
be performed shall be considered to be "Work for Hire" and all
Copyright Ownership related to this work shall completely reside
with the Corporation. All electronic files developed during the
process of the work are the property of the Corporation. The
designer can display this work for portfolio or self-pormotional
purposes only with the express written approval of the
What should I do?
In a perfect world, a designer should be in control of how he sells
his services. As a practical matter, however, very few businesses
will grant a third party the right to control its identity and it
is used.
There are a number of conflicting issues in this case, starting
with two polarized legal realilties. First, the identity a designer
creates becomes a trademark of the company. It is a fundamental
principle of trademark law that all trademark rights arise through
use in commerce. Thus, all trademark/commercial rights will belong
to the company, not the designer.
Second, under copyright law, an independant contractor (freelancer)
is able to control how he transfers ownership, if at all, of his
work. This right includes the right to license the work for
specific uses. So, even if a designer were to retain ownership of
the logo, he will have no right to use the logo or sell it to
another party since the designer does not have rights to sell or
license a trademark. The designer?s rights are limited to the mere
appearance of the design. In addition, it is highly likely that a
court will find an implied license, from the designer to the
client, to use the work in any commercially reasonable
Choose your battles wisely realizing that generally transferring
all rights should incur a higher fee.
Ask yourself this question: What is the type of work and do I
really believe there is a value to me in keeping the rights over an
extended period of time? If the work is in the nature of a separate
animation element, a dingbat or other easily separable work, it may
be re-usable. Many websites or complex printed matter (templates)
will contain elements that can be reused in other ways. An
identity, on the other hand, does not lend itself to repurposing.
Some clients will try to limit the designer's rights because of
concern that competitors will seek to use the same look. As a
designer with professional ethics, be mindful that whatever the
terms of your agreement, you have an obligation not to undermine
your client, i.e., you can't sell the same or similar work to
another client and in some cases it might not even be wise to work
for a direct competitor of a client unless the scope and/or look of
the work is quite different.
In connection with this, be wary of contract terms which absolutely
limit your ability to provide services for a client's competitors.
Limitations on your ability to obtain work should require
I would not realisticaly expect to be able to own or control the
use of an identity or any work related to it since you really
cannot use it afterwards. As a commercial matter, no corporate
counsel would allow such an agreement. You might try to get a right
of first refusal as regards creating versions or updates to the
work, but anything more is probably not feasible.
Regardless of the extent to which you want to retain the rights of
your logo design, I would always urge a designer to retain an
absolute right to show work in his portfolio or in advertisements
for his services. If a client wants to remain anonymous, let him
pay for that privilege. Your portfolio is the only proof of your
In all circumstances I would retain a digital copy of the work
simply as a wise business practice. You should archive a copy and
if the client or the printer loses theirs and they insist on full
ownership, charge them a service fee to replace it (a fee that
should be stated in your agreement).

We have so many different reasons to give Ms. Susan Aitchison our most extreme thanks each year that it almost defies belief!!

Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Ms. Lori Bessette – Assistant Director of Community Relations

Joe Sigma 6 Commando Soldier sets, and an array of Transformers Robots figures and sets, and Ghost Rider figures, etc. We were not only able to use these wonderful toys as gifts for our members everywhere, but some went to children living in shelters for abused children as well. No matter where we sent these Hasbro toys, the end result was the same; all of our members were ecstatic and overjoyed. Again, our foundation owes Hasbro Toys and Ms. Davis a HUGE DEBT of gratitude for constantly making our kids holidays SUPER!!!!
Redwood City, California
Ms. Julie Wynn – Director of Charitable Giving
Rarely is any kind of charitable organization lucky enough to find a donation sponsor of a major item that is so incredibly generous and well known at Electronic Arts Games, and all their subsidiaries (Electronic Sports Games, Electronic Arts Fantasy Games, et al) This organization has such a wonderful charitable giving director in Ms. Julie Wynn!
Ms. Julie Wynn never fails to be there for our members when we contact her for a donation of games or one of the many times per year that we do contact her. Due to her incredible generosity and compassion for our foundation, she allows literally hundred of our members to own the most incredible games.
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS (Toys for Tots)
AT(TOW) Company, 4th Tank Brigade, I.N.I.
Hialeah, Florida
Gunnery Sgt. Syril Melvin – Base Commander and Even Director
Staff Sgt. Miguel Acosta – Event Toy Donation Manager for 2007
Chef David Mitchell's father was in the Marines for over 24 years, and the entire time he was constantly involved with the Toys For Tots campaign. Each Christmas, no matter what USMC base the Mitchell family was stationed, Chef David volunteered to help his father and his father's men/women do the Toys For Tots work. This is one of the reasons that in 1992, Chef David researched where the largest USMC Toys For Tots base was located so he could continue helping the Marines each year in doing this wonderful tradition. Through this research, it was discovered that Chef David's Kids Foundation was eligible for to donations from Toys For Tots.
Since 1992, the USMC Toys For Tots event command in Hialeah, Florida and Chef David's Kids Wish Foundation have worked year-round to get the Marines to increase in their annual amount of donated toys and dolls, games, etc. The Marines are one of our most crucial annual Christmas donors, and in all honesty, they are the sole reasons that our members have such a wonderful Christmas holidays each year (without fail) year after year. Chef David's Kids Wish Foundation understands how exceptionally lucky we are to have such an incredible donor and friends!
Chef David Mitchell would like to express extreme thanks and gratitude to the following Marines:
Gunnery Sgt. Syril Melvin, Base Commander
Staff Sgt. Miguel Acosta, Event Toy Warehouse Manager
Chief Miguel Feliciano, Event Logistics
Sgt. McKoy, Event Toy Manager for several years
If it wasn't for these wonderful Marines, Christmas would be far less wonderful for our members, and nowhere near as great a holiday as they make it!
East Rutherford, New Jersey
Ms. Allison Strangeby – Charitable Donations Department
Since 1992, our Wishgrant Foundation was lucky enough to receive a full wish request from the 2008 Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Ms. Allison Strangeby and the entire team have gone far and beyond the norm for our members. When we have come to them with a wish request, year after year, and time after time, they come through in a big way!
Chef David's Kids Wish Foundation would like to extend our most extreme thanks to Allison Strangeby and her staff, and to the entire New York Giants organization!
Miami Lakes, Florida
Ms. Angela Smith – Community Relations Director
Mr. Alex Morin – Player Relations Director
Mr. Richard Gamble – Exec. Assistant to Mr. Morin
We certainly have to extend an extreme thanks and our sincere gratitude to the Florida Marlins. The Marlins have worked literally hand-in-hand with our organization to create one of our legendary "super wishes" that we grant to our members called "Teammate 4 a Game Day". This team happens to be the two-time World Series champion Florida Marlins and their wonderful players and staff.
Any pro sports team that is lucky enough have longtime staff members like Ms. Angela Smith, Mr. Alex Morin and Mr. Richard Gamble s very lucky indeed. Angela, Alex and Rich truly care for the children in their community, and they demonstrate this level of care in each of their actions. It never fails to amaze us that each year Angela and Alex re-surprise us by exceeding the generosity involved the previous year. Each year our members who are granted this amazing wish receive a real Marlins uniform, in their correct size, and with their name sewn on the back; team-signed, game-used bats, gloves, and about 10-12 pounds of promotional items, giving them the memory of a lifetime!
Thanks so much for being truly wonderful sponsors!
Arlington, Texas
Mr. Scott Prusha – Community Relations manager
Any charitable organization for children that provides "toybox support" for their members should make sure they have a world-class sponsor in the trading card area (sports, cartoon shows, comic-con cards, etc). Chef David's Kids is very lucky to have such a sponsor in Donruss/Playoff Collectibles.
Approximately ever 8 weeks, their wonderful community relations manager Mr. Scott Prusha, provides us with a huge carton of Donruss' most current sports cards (usually NFL football and MLB baseball) in a special 100-card pack boxes, with 6-8 units each time!
Due to Mr. Prusha's and Donruss' generosity, we're able to provide our members with card packs at any given time. Our many boys and girls that request cards from their homes, hospitals, or shelters for abused children are treated some of the finest trading cards on the planet!
Our entire staff would like to extend a huge "Super Hero Sponsor Award" thanks to Scott Prusha and his staff at Donruss for their constant, year-round incredible generosity!
Sunrise, Florida
Ms. Carly Bernstein
Ms. Terri Crolic
In the summer of 2007, one of our members asked to attend a Florida Panthers game and we had the very good fortune to meet with two wonderful people from the Panthers named Ms. Carly Bernstein and Ms. Terri Crolic.
It's very rare for a charitable organization to contact a new sponsor regarding a donation, and right from the start, the sponsor's staff literally do everything they can for that organization. That's exactly what we got from the Panthers!
Carly and Terri literally do everything possible for us, and even call with other events for our members to attend. This is why all of our members and staff wanted them to be nominated for and to receive this award. We're very fortunate to have such wonderful people like Carly and Terri, and we owe them an enormous debt of gratitude, forever!

• Ricky P, age 7, wished for new toys to replace the ones that were stolen from his house while he was in surgery.
He got a record-breaking five-agency response by receiving a 16-pound crate of new toys. This was the first time that Chef David's Kids interacted to this extent with outside agencies to help a child!
Chef David would like to thank the following people for going above and beyond in their commitment to Chef David's Kids…
American Greetings – Mr. Morry Weiss CEO, Mrs. Terri Gambill License/Marketing Dir., and Mrs. Mickey Matheis in Public Relations, as their 171-piece donation of Care Bear items ROCKED the Bigelow kids and Mom!! In our 14 years serving children, it's our BIGGEST donation ever!!!!!

Mrs. Debra Dicochea and Mrs. Kim Manos of "Mattel Childrens Foundation" and "Mattel Toys" Public Relations and Charitable donations bosses, they've proved time and time again by being SO generous to us that they really do care for kids in need, and for doing things like when the "Huzeinga Cottage" girls at Kids in Distress wrote a special thanks letter to them for the "Barbie Blast" party in May 2003, they sent them about a dozen more Barbie dolls just for writing to them!! Isn't that great?
UPN33/CBS4 "Neighbors for Neighbors" organization, to our DEAREST buddy Mrs. Katy Meagher, and a MEGA thanxx to Mrs. Lynn Cameron and for Rose, the Client Services Director, for taking such incredible care of Savannah Remington on her birthday wish in June 2003 this year, when we wrote in and asked for 1-2 dresses as a donation from them, and they contacted a custom seamstress and had her make Savannah 7 (SEVEN) Dress-Up dresses to wear for her to keep, the most she's ever owned at the same time, plus a quilt and a Capri Pants set!! Talk about Superheroes!!

Update 2/20/14: According to the Kentucky Humane Society, this cutie was adopted this afternoon!
Snuffles, the two-nosed Belgian malinois puppy who repeatedly lost his home in Scotland, became an internet sensation world-wide...many people in the United States commented "bring him to the United States and I will give him a home."
It turns out that there is no need to transport Snuffles from Glasgow to the United States...there is a puppy with "two noses" right here in Kentucky who currently needs a home.
According to the Kentucky Humane Society, "Snorkle," a two-month-old mixed breed puppy in their care, is up for adoption.
Hopefully, despite Snorkle's unique appearance, he will not encounter the troubles that seem to have plagued poor Snuffles.
Anyone interested in Snorkle can learn more by calling 502-366-3355 or visiting www.kyhumane.org.

I am just hitting myself over the head right now. I wanted to change my "EDIT" setting of .BAT files to PsPad - instead I accidently changed the OPEN menu.
Now I was able to remove the entry using "Defaults Program Editor", a nice litte tool. But now I dont know which "default program" to select when doubleclick .BAT files. I tried CMD.exe, but maybe I need some option to make it run, it just opens the command line and does nothing at the moment :-(

Forecast discussion: Well, spring did indeed sprung over Providence on Saturday. We received bright sunshine as temperatures climbed all the way to 57 degrees at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick. Fortunately, we will see temperatures like this again in a few days. However, it will then be followed by a strong Nor'easter which will bring a smattering of precipitation types Wednesday into Thursday.
Right now, temperatures will be falling back below freezing, thanks to a cold front passing through Southern New England. Also, do not forget to set your clocks ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday morning, as we begin Eastern Daylight Time. Along the boundary, a weak disturbance will try to set up some widely isolated snow showers for the south coast. The rest of Rhode Island may see an isolated snow shower during Sunday morning. Otherwise, mostly sunny skies are expected, but temperatures will be as much as 20 degrees colder. By Sunday night, a weak low pressure system over northern Canada will bring the chance for some passing snow showers until Monday morning.
We will see temperatures climbing once again by Tuesday, as a warm front moves through the region. Temperatures may reach the lower 50's despite limited sunshine. As we move into Tuesday night, a low pressure system moving over the Tennessee River Valley will begin to intensify as it moves into the Mid-Atlantic Wednesday morning. This low will become the Nor'easter the computer models are now seeing for Wednesday afternoon into Thursday evening.
At this time, it is still too difficult to tell what kind of precipitation types we will receive. My main thinking is we will first start off as rain. Due to the warmer air already aloft from Tuesday, it will take some time for the colder air to take over the upper levels of the atmosphere. By Wednesday night, the colder air will begin to turn the precipitation into a sleet and/or wet snow. Before the morning commute on Thursday, we should change completely over to snow. However, there are still differences in the computer models of the exact track the low's center will take. If the low stays north and west of us, we will see warmer air, meaning more sleet and rain. If the low tracks to the south and east, colder air behind the low takes over, so we would see more snow. I will continue monitoring the situation, and give you any new updates tomorrow evening.
We will see calmer weather on Friday, but once again colder air from Canada will keep our temperatures well below normal. Some warmer air begins to filter in by next Saturday, and a weak cold front passing over the region will give us rain showers by the morning hours.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Mostly cloudy with a possible snow shower around dawn. We will see a low of 27.
Sunday: A possible snow shower along the south coast until 10 a.m. Otherwise, mostly sunny skies expected for the rest of the day. We will see a high of 37 with northwest winds at 10-13 mph.
Sunday night: Mostly cloudy with snow showers starting around 3 a.m. We will see a low of 24 with west-southwest winds of 4-7 mph.
Monday: Scattered snow showers ending around noon and a high of 39. Up to half an inch accumulation is possible.
Monday night: Mostly cloudy with a low of 33.
Tuesday: Partly sunny and warmer with a high of 50.
Tuesday night: Mostly cloudy with a low of 33.
Extended Forecast:
Wednesday: Cloudy by late morning, with light rain developing around 4 p.m. Highs 40-43, lows 25-28.
Thursday: Windy with rain changing to sleet around 1 a.m. before changing to light to moderate snow by 4 a.m. Snow begins to taper off by 2 p.m. before ending around 9 p.m. Highs 30-33, lows 15-18.
Friday: Mostly sunny. Highs 34-37, lows 23-26.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy with possible rain showers by mid-morning. Highs 40-43, lows 27-30.

Icasa to hear SAPS complaint against DA advert
In a complaint to Icasa, the SAPS says the "Ayisafani" advert "would incite violence against the police", according to the authority's spokesperson.
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) is set to hear a complaint by the South African Police Service against the Democratic Alliance's (DA's) election advert on Thursday morning.
"The SAPS said in their complaint that the television advert would incite violence against the police," said Icasa spokesperson Paseka Maleka.
"The police said the part of the advert where the Democratic Alliance's [Gauteng premier candidate] Mmusi Maimane says, ' ... the police are killing our people .. ' and shows a policeman shooting at a person, would invite violent acts against the members of the SAPS."
The "Ayisafani" advert shows Maimane standing in front of a mirror talking about the current state of the country.
Advert brought back
The advert was previously banned by public broadcaster SABC after it was flighted on April 8 and April 9. The SABC said the advert incited violence. The SABC then brought back the advert and aired it on its channels.
The DA laid a complaint with Icasa, after which a public hearing was held on the matter.
The Business Day last week reported that advert "pulled by the SABC will be aired by the state broadcaster over the Easter long weekend [from April 19]?".
The SAPS lodged the complaint on April 19. The public hearing would be held at the Icasa offices in Sandton.

Being sick of shaky WiFi connection to our home's main router (a Sitecom, which is far away) I've got a New Belkin router to use in my room. I have a telephone plug in my room but not sure whether it is possible to directly connect the Belkin to the plug and connect to the home's ADSL.
I am using Ubuntu, hence I cannot use the supplied Belkin installation CD, and this adds another layer of difficulty/uncertainity.
I appreciate your hints to make this work.

Man Goes to Jail for Putting Baby in Oven
(2011-06-02)PADUCAH, KY (wkms) - A Reidland man is sentenced to two years in jail for placing his infant son in a cold oven last year. McCracken Circuit Judge Tim Kaltenbach denied 34-year-old Chris Long probation and sentenced him based on an Alford Plea he entered early last month to charges of wanton endangerment. That means Long doesn't admit to the crime, but acknowledges there is likely enough evidence to convict him. The Paducah Sun reports Long is alleged to have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol when the incident occurred. © Copyright 2016, wkms

The 22nd Olympic Winter Games ended in Sochi February 23. Like any memorable event, Sochi 2014 featured a varied soundtrack filled with stark contrasts. More than just the music of the opening ceremonies, many Olympians associated themselves with music.
The opening and closing ceremony featured Russian classical and popular music, already kicking off with some controversy. Some of the classically oriented pop selections were:
- Igor Stravinsky – 'Rite Of Spring' and 'Firebird Suite.'
- Alexander Borodin – 'Overture, Polovtsian Dances and March from 'Prince Igor'.' (Also recognizable as 'Stranger In Paradise' from the musical 'Kismet.'
- Arkady Ostrovsky – 'Trololo' video version or 'Vocalise' live with orchestra.
- Pyotr Ilich Tchaikovsky – 'Swan Lake' selection.
- Sergei Prokofiev – 'Waltz' from 'War And Peace'
As the games continued, the contrasts became progressively more varied and interesting. Going back to the early 1980s, Russia's participation in the Olympics has always garnered controversy, so more controversy doesn't come as a surprise. Here are a few more of Sochi's wacky tunes, starting with the another Russian pop tune.
- 'Not gonna get us' by t.A.T.u. reached Number 1 on the dance charts in the USA, and they were one of Russia's most popular groups ever. Considering Putin's recent stance on homosexuality, it's surprising that the song wasn't banned from the opening ceremony. Their other hit music video, 'All the things she said' features 15-year-olds Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova kissing passionately in the rain. The band initially thought they would be playing during the opening ceremony. This did not come to pass.
- Pussy Riot, 'Putin will teach you to love (the Motherland).' On February 19, members of the punk band Pussy Riot posted their music video. The band romped around Sochi filming themselves dancing with Sochi Games mascots, were held for questioning, and finally beaten by Russian Cossack police with whips. As superstar Russian athletes thanked their President Putin for putting on the Winter Games, it seemed the time was ripe for these riot girls to speak out. The video features English subtitles and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina who were released after 2 years in prison and recently appeared on The Colbert Report to bring attention to human rights issues in Russian prisons.
- 'The Bobsled Song' by Sidney Mills & Jon Notar for The Jamaica Bobsled Team was recently pulled from Youtube for violating International Olympic Committee guidelines for use of footage. It racked up 1.5 million views with its 8-bit video animation before it was pulled. Other people have posted the video, see it while it's up. You can still hear the song and read about all of the team's previous songs.
- 'My Way Is My Decision,' Tina Maze. The Slovenian skier's declaration in this music video shows that she doesn't let anything stand in her way if she can help it. Maze won gold medals in 2 out of 5 events she entered at the Sochi Games.
- 'Otherside,' J. R. Celski joined up with the Seattle hip-hop scene, featuring Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Olympic speedskater, Celski, turned to music to comfort himself while healing from injuries that caused him to wonder if he would ever skate again. He followed Macklemore's career and focused on Seattle's musicians, co-producing a documentary. In Sochi, Celski won a silver medal in the Short Track Speed Skating team relay competition.
- 'Get Lucky' by Daft Punk as sung by the Red Army Choir MVD. The Choir appeared during the opening ceremony, but the footage was not selected for US audiences to view. Check out their official video on their channel. It's not clear they have any idea what they are singing. The choir serve as Russian goodwill ambassadors of a sort, not that Pussy Riot would agree.
- 'Tribute' by Eric Radford. Composer and Olympian Eric Radford ice skated to his own composition for Team Canada with partner, Meagan Duhamel, something that they've been doing since 2013. Radford surprised home viewers who know little about the sport. Unbeknownst to many, he graduated from Canada's Royal Conservatory of Music.
- 'Higher Than Mars,' sung by Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe, skiing for Mexico in his 6th Olympic Games was the oldest man competing at the Olympics at 55 and declared most interesting man in the world. He's a Mexican-born German prince, photographer, and singer. One of many guys who did not finish the alpine skiing slalom course February 23, Hohenlohe concentrated his efforts on being the best dressed for Mexico in his mariachi charro ski suit. He also occupied his time before competing by stirring up controversy for a rique photo shoot with Lebanese skier, Jackie Chamoun.
- 'Caught Inside' by Bad Things. At the same time Shaun White's 3rd Olympics ended without medaling, his band, Bad Things, released their debut album. White serves as lead guitarist and has played the instrument for many years.
- Kate Hansen rocking out to Beyonce while warming up for her luge events garnered a Facebook post and some encouragement from Hansen's idol, Beyonce.
There were many other great musical moments. These are just the top ten. Please read more articles about the 2014 Sochi Olympics below.
