How I learned to appreciate Full House
By Matthew Singer 11/21/2013
Why the hell am I watching Full House?
This is a question I ask myself frequently these days, as I've been watching a lot of Full House lately. And not even ironically, either. As anyone who grew up in the '90s knows — including the kids who grew up on the show — this is a cripplingly embarrassing admission. Full House is universally recognized as the most artless sitcom ever made. "Family friendly" to a degree that would make the producers of 7th Heaven cringe, it almost single-handedly invented the "very special episode" cliché — except every fucking episode ended with a life lesson imparted over winsome strings and punctuated by a hug. Somehow, it became a hit, a long-standing tent pole of ABC's Friday night lineup, and bequeathed the world John Stamos, the Olsen Twins and, indirectly, Alanis Morissette's hit song "You Oughta Know." Bob Saget has spent the last 20 years trying to live it down, one scatological stream-of-consciousness tirade at a time.
I was old enough by the time it premiered in the late '80s to call bullshit on its alleged charms. (Please note: I was 5 when it first started airing. I was already too mature.) My girlfriend, however, is four years younger. As such, she's of the generation for which the show was a legitimate cultural touchstone. And so, when sitting around on a lazy weeknight, with nothing else on, Full House takes on the role occupied by Cops when I lived with a bunch of dudes: the time-filler. And as I've spent many evenings now invested in the bland exploits of the Tanner family — usually while in the midst of polishing off a bottle of wine — my feelings toward the show have shifted slightly: It is indeed terrible, but also, weirdly tolerable.
Part of that has to do with age: At 31, I can pick up on things I wouldn't have perceived with my prepubescent brain. Not to say the writers were slyly slipping double-entendres past censors. Aside from a few winking references to Uncle Jesse's days as a swinging bachelor, it's still squeaky-clean, from the surface on down. But it's a show backgrounded by darkness: The entire premise of Full House is based on a father struggling to raise three daughters after his wife is killed by a drunk driver. That's some fucked-up shit. And while the show never reflected that tragic foundation beyond the first season, if you manage to see the series through that lens, it makes the cornball humor and cheap tear-jerking easier to swallow.
Beyond that, while the accepted view of Full House is as a relic of TV's more innocent past, the fact is that the sitcom hasn't come far at all. Look at Modern Family. Still the most popular comedy on network television, it is basically Full House for the single-camera era. Think about it: The jokes, while more "adult," I suppose, are built for wide appeal, from pre-teens to grandmas. Each episode ends with a heartfelt monologue spelling out the show's lesson. Manny is basically Michelle, and way more annoying, too. And, in a way, Full House has more gravitas: Modern Family doesn't even have the specter of death hanging over it. Modern? I don't think so, dude.

Riding the roller coaster with Paul McCartney in Houston
- Nov, 18 2012

I didn't know what I was in for. I couldn't have even comprehended it if I wanted to. Had I not been dating a guy who likes to rank his "must see before I die" acts, I honestly would not have thought to travel three hours to Houston, Texas to see Paul McCartney. It's not because I didn't want to, by any means. I think in my mind, I thought of McCartney as an almost novelty act. I knew he was incredibly talented, and even though my favorite Beatle person-wise is Ringo (yes, believe it), I knew he was a songwriting genius and still sounded solid at the age of 70. But if I'm being honest, I thought of a Paul McCartney show the same way I think of a Bob Dylan or Robert Plant show at this point. I'm always humbled to be in the presence of a legend, but it's not their heyday. Two of the Beatles are gone, so I knew I'd never be able to see the whole unit the way I'd want to.
In fact, I hesitate to name the Beatles my favorite band of all time for that very reason. The live show is so important to me that it's hard for me to conceptualize a band as my all-time favorite if I haven't experienced the power of their in-person performance. Even though the Beatles are a band that literally helped me to grow up — Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour and, of course, Abbey Road were formative albums that forced me to move past my candy-pop-and-top-40-only stage — for some reason, the idea of Paul alone just didn't hold the same weight as the idea of building a time machine and going back to the time of screaming, fainting fan girls and riotous excitement.
But then, I found myself buying tickets for Sir Paul as a birthday gift to my boyfriend, and as the date approached, I began to really try to wrap my brain around what was going to happen. I was going to go watch, live, in person, a man who is one of the most famous people on Earth, who has changed millions of lives with his music and his message, who has experienced the turmoil of the 60s in person, who has lived among legends, who has befriended people who appear in my mind more like book characters, because they are too famous to humanize.
Even still, as we drove on to Houston, I was in a haze. It was as if I was going to go watch some movie, or play, or show put on inside of a glass box, separate from myself.Read More...
Matt and Kim and Millennials

A lot has been said of the narcissistic culture of the Millennials. It's tough to get a totally clear picture of what, exactly, this culture means because we're all still in it. But there are a few emerging trends that we can comfortably chalk up to the phenomenon:
- Talking at concerts. There have always been talkers at shows, particularly when you start to introduce booze into the mix of nighttime fun and dancing. But there is a self-obsessed, oblivious emergence of this concert sin that has become maddening for any fans of music. Concerts, apparently, have become an event that you must be seen at and attend for cultural collateral, not because you really love the band. Maybe it's because those of us who really do just love the bands succumbed to the "crossed arms" method of passively enjoying shows that allowed these Chatty Cathy's-and-Charles' to move to the fore. Regardless, they are starting to take over, moving to the front rows and screaming over the sound about their days and relationships and whatever else comes to their minds.
- Short attention spans. Apparently, our "me, me, me!" generation needs constant stimulation or else they deem an activity unworthy of their time. This can lead to phenomenon number 1.
- Ever-present fashion shows. You never know when someone is going to finally "discover" you and make you insta-famous, right? YOLO, you guys, so you might as well dress like there's no tomorrow that doesn't include Lady Gaga! Everyone not only assumes they will became famous for no reason, they demand fame because they feel they deserve it. Entitlement at its worst. I blame you, Snookie.
Takk, Sigur Rós

In our first session together, the new therapist I'm seeing said, "I think you should focus on slowing down. You know — stop and smell the roses." I felt like I'd just been read my own death sentence. I am petrified — that knot-in-stomach, headachey near-tantrum petrified — of slowing myself down. Not just in a literal sense, wherein I stop taking on so many projects (like freelance writing, putting in overtime at my event planning corporate gig, putting on showcases of local musicians, trying to take dance classes, trying to take drum lessons, trying to play my guitar…) Even more so, it scares me to let my brain slow down. My natural state is to let a barrage of to-do's, self-criticisms and other discomforts swim around my head, in an effort to always be a little better, to never let myself off the hook, or "let myself go." I am hyper-aware of my own mortality, and that coupled with a bad case of perfectionism forces me into a near-constant state of "Go!"
In my 25 years, I have found one antidote to my madness. One method to calm my nerves, slow my thoughts and begin to untangle myself, piece by piece. It's the thing that everyone should find, that is their gateway into meditation or inner peace or just a really delicious nap. For me, it is Sigur Rós.
If you are unfamiliar with this Icelandic band, you are totally forgiven but must immediately get to know them. They have been recording albums since 1994, sometimes in their native language of Icelandic, on some rare occasions in English, and often at the beginning…in a language they MADE UP, called "Hopelandic." Yep. They made up a language that includes the word "hope" and they sing in it. That was one of the first tidbits that really grabbed me about the band, and then the music began to take over. It is gorgeous, ethereal stuff, with bigger ambitions than any other band that I am personally familiar with.
The album that changed my life was Takk… which translates to "Thank you." It was their fourth full-length album, and they toured on it. I'd heard a few songs from it because I was a student DJ at the University of Texas at Austin for KVRX, so I decided to see the band when they came to town. As I sat in my seat at a university concert hall, still only a freshman in college, I expected a beautiful, but somewhat sleepy and shoegazey concert, so I settled in and relaxed. They opened with a song called "Glósóli." This song starts with piano chimes and what sounds like a line of soldiers marching gently out in a field. Then, lead singer Jónsi Birgisson's angelic falsetto floats into the song, adding a childlike, sweet mood as the marching gets louder. As the band performed this live, they were all set up behind a large white curtain, so that you could only see their ghostly shadows stretching out, as stage lights flashed in different areas to the rhythm of the song. Something was building, and my eyes widened as the drums got deeper and louder and more urgent. Suddenly in a burst of fast-flashing white light we found ourselves drowning in a crashing, wild sea of raging guitars and insistent drums and howling vocals. My eyes wet, and I was on the edge of my seat for the rest of the concert.
Since that concert, Sigur Rós have popped up in my life periodically, always in these magical moments of the universe seemingly doing all of the work for me. When I studied abroad in Freiburg, Germany, I trekked up to London for a quick visit with relatives and friends. I visited Abbey Road, and there, on the gate, where hundreds upon thousands had scrawled their signatures along with their favorite Beatles lyrics, Sigur Rós had signed their names. They had recorded a track on their then-new album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, at the famed studio, and must have felt compelled to participate in the tradition. I signed my name next to theirs, and they became the soundtrack to those magical six months spent studying in the middle of the Black Forest.
Jonsi toured on a solo album that was in English, and his concert was one of the first dates I took my boyfriend to. We held hands and got swept up in his theatrical and moving presentation, as the silhouettes of forest creatures leapt through a post-apocalyptic world he had created.
A week after my new therapist told me I needed to slow down, Sigur Rós had a worldwide listening party for their new album, Valtari. Each host space played the album in its entirety starting at 7 p.m. local time. I headed to my favorite local independent record shop, Waterloo Records, and climbed up into the makeshift stage area where bands will sometimes come and play short in-store sets. I sat there, on the funky blue carpet, and breathed slowly in and out as this new, anticipated music filled my ears. I watched other shoppers quietly move around, but mostly closed my eyes and tried to experience the album. This was the quietest, most subtle record I'd ever heard by the band, demanding a patient listener, and whenever I felt my muscles twitch, trying to break free of my trance and let my mind race with worry, Jonsi's voice would pick up at that exact moment, soaring into my head and collecting anything that wasn't just helping me to be present. Listening to Sigur Rós is the closest thing I think I've gotten to the kind of peace I believe will come when I'm dying. I know that sounds morbid, but it's one of the most comforting things, to feel for some fleeting moment that everything is working together and so ultimately, when I do have to go, it will be time.
When the album ended, Waterloo announced the winner of a giveaway, including a Valtari poster and a test pressing of the record on vinyl. They called my name over the speaker system, and my heart just filled with happiness. Unbeknownst to this record store, they were giving me the gift of meditation and peace, and continuing on my strange and beautiful relationship with a band that speaks to me in some quiet place that I cannot otherwise unearth.
Win, Will, Regine and Marika: A lesson in Haiti

I felt somewhat guilty about attending Arcade Fire's talk about Haiti. I had always felt happy that a group of artists I admired so much were so passionate about what seemed to be a worthy cause, but I'd never really researched into Partners in Health, or read about why Haiti needed so much assistance, or tried to understand on a deeper level what Win Butler, Regine Chassagne and their cohorts were up to. It was merely a feel-good fuzzy moment at each concert, and kinda ended there for me.
So when I found out that my amazing friend Lisa had managed to score tickets to a lecture on Haiti by the band, I knew I wasn't going because I was jazzed to hear about this little country. I was going because I am so in love with the music of the group, and how Win and Regine come across as people in interviews, that I wanted to do anything I could to learn more about them and get closer to them. It made me feel embarrassed, almost — knowing that these people I admired so much were hoping to talk about something they cared about, and I'd just have to nod along, not really savvy on the issues.
Luckily for me, Win, Regine, Will and Marika knew what they were up against, and they were OK with it. During their lecture, Win explained, "I don't know if you're here because you're interested in Haiti and want to learn more, or because you're a fan of the band, but either way that makes us connected and that makes us grateful, and we're glad you're here."

I discovered Soy Chorizo through our Facebook fans, who raved about this vegetarian version of a spicy pork sausage. I don't normally buy fake meat products, but the reviews were so overwhelmingly glowing that my curiosity was piqued. One taste, and I was hooked. It was just as flavorful as any good chorizo I'd ever had, but far less greasy. Ever since then, I've been looking for more ways to use TJ's soy chorizo, which is now a staple in our house.
First a quick tutorial, if you've never bought chorizo before. It comes in a plastic casing which needs to be removed before using. And this Soy Chorizo is just the same – slice into the casing, remove chorizo, and discard plastic casing.
The first recipe I tried was Tamale Bake, an easy casserole using another of my favorite TJ products, fully-cooked Organic Polenta. It's a great dish for large crowds, and it's a cinch to assemble the casserole ahead of time. Like most casseroles, you can add whatever vegetables you have on hand and serve with any selection of toppings. I like to serve this dish with my homemade Cilantro Sauce.
For the Superbowl last month, I experimented with another crowd pleaser: Soy Chorizo Chili, pictured above. The Chorizo was spicy enough that I didn't add any other spice, not even chili powder, and the dish was perfectly seasoned. For milder spice, tone it down by stirring in some sour cream or chili to cut the spice.
Fellow food blogger Tracy Holleran shared with us her recipe for Soy Chorizo Stuffed Mushrooms. Next on my list to try is Chorizo and Eggs. What else do you use chorizo for? Please share your recipes on our recipe site: www.CookTJ.com.

Wordpress help?
Hey there, mojo-ers.
Nightlight Productions is about to pull itself into 2011. Before it does though, I could use some advice from someone more savvy with wordpress than I am. The website is slightly crippled.
Any volunteers?
Is there a specific problem? You might need to export the news posts into a file and then delete wordpress and reinstall it... that is if the update wordpress in your admin doesn't work.
Hey there, Gabez.
The main problem is with API access keys, and getting the wordpress page stats tool to work. I even went to the efforts of exporting a back-up, deleting wordpress, a reinstalling. I thought that would have done it... but it hasn't! Majorly frustrating.
If the problem is that you don't have an API key, you need to sign up at wordpress.com (make sure you sign up for just a username and you'll be fine). If the problem is that you can't find your API key, it should be in your registration confirmation email from Wordpress (subject "New WordPress.com User: [your username]"). As for using your API key to activate stats, it should be a matter of seconds; clicking and copy-pasting in the right place.
Actually you will need to find a lost manuscript which will give you clues as to where to find the illusive "Key of Aepee'Ai," an ancient artefact rumoured to hold immense power.
But be careful, because the Nazis are after it too!
I have an API key, and tried to use it, but wordpress has somehow become tangled up with a new one I tried to make, and the old on Metallus established when he set up Nightlight:
Error from last API Key attempt:
The owner of that API Key (nightlightprod) is not on the access list for this blog (8825346). When this blog was registered, nightlightprod's API key was used. To add you to the access list, nightlightprod must visit this blog's stats dashboard page and use the form at the bottom of that page.
I've got the login details for two API keys now, but it's not letting me put in either of them.
I actually backed up nightlight, deleted wordpress, put on a new version and imported the backup... and it still didn't work either. Something was maybe still hanging around in the backup?
Maybe it's a database related error? Maybe the database should be deleted and recreated? (Has no idea what he's talking about).
Almost scared to ask, but do you know how I would do that? :)
We must summon Zaarin (known as 's-island' on these forums) for help!
I shall get the ouija board (ie DM him...)

You show someone an actor, and more often than not your showing someone who eventually wants to direct. In his debut as a writer/director, star Jason Momoa gives us "Road To Paloma" that while admittedly pretty basic, actually shows a little bit of promise as it is a solid revenge story.
Wolf (Jason Momoa), is a Native American man on the run after avenging his mother's murder, He flees across the desolate American West on his motorcycle, discovering that justice has a cost. Wolf's search for redemption will reveal secrets and take him on a journey where the roads have some very unexpected turns and he is unable to shelter the one's that he loves from the price and the toll that his misdeeds take upon them all.
It's not high art, but "Road to Paloma" is a decent little revenge thriller with a social conscience that shows some actually directorial talent from someone who you wouldn't necessarily expect.
A simple narrative, with quite a few writing cooks in the kitchen, Jason Momoa as a storyteller and a writer actually has a flash of promise as he makes a film that actually looks quite beautiful and touches on some issues of spirituality and tribal issues inside the Native American community and how certain crimes aren't covered or treated with the right amount of respect or reverence when they take place in Indian territory. Momoa takes the narrative and moves it along at a healthy pace, and while some of it jumps into areas that get a little flakey and nebulous, it still plays as our lead character of Wolf, may be a murderer but he is also a man of principle who is deeply in grained in his peoples ways and customs, even when they don't necessarily line up with the current laws of the land. Momoa tapped into the spirit of how people on the lamb and even wayward drifters may not be the best quality folk in the world but they are just looking for the right path in their lives just like the rest of us.
Momoa holds his own carrying multiple responsibilities and wearing many hats on this project and it doesn't take away from his performance as Wolf. He's not required to do any heavy lifting other then shoot smoldering gazes to the screen and be magnetic, but it works as his mysterious yet noble man who lives by a certain code wraps up some family business and makes some unique connections along the course of the narrative. There are some familiar faces along the way as Lisa Bonet, Sarah Shahi and Wes Stud all have small yet pivotal roles and it would have been nice had things been fleshed out a little better.
Ultimately, "Road to Paloma" was a decent revenge flick and a good effort for a debut feature, but it with a little effort and some better defined edges to it all it could have been something very good.
3 out of 5 stars.
"Road to Paloma" is now available on DVD, Blu-Ray, On Demand and Digital Download from all major providers.

Aug. 17, 2012
SEATTLE - Washington Basketball Coach Lorenzo Romar announced that Brad Jackson, who guided Western Washington University to the 2012 NCAA Division II national championship, is joining the Huskies' staff as an assistant coach.
Jackson, 60, coached 27 seasons at Western Washington and amassed a school record 518 wins during his time with the Vikings. The crowning moment of his tenure came this past season when he led Western Washington to a 31-5 record and the NCAA II national title with a 72-65 win over Motevallo (Ala.).
"I think we got an absolute steal," said Romar, who is a long-time friend of Jackson. "You hire a basketball coach off of winning a national championship ... it doesn't happen very often. I'm just ecstatic that he has decided to do this.
"I have tried to hire him before and it just didn't work out. He is successful, very accomplished and knows the Northwest. He has been here forever. He is definitely going to help our program."
Jackson leaves WWU ranked 44th in NCAA II in career victories, and would have entered the season No. 13 among active coaches in victories and No. 40 in winning percentage (.650). He holds a career record of 518-279.
"We're very excited," said Jackson with his wife, Debbie, by his side. "Coach Romar and I have been good friends for many, many years. I think the opportunity for us is one that we feel is a new step professionally. It's an opportunity to be at a great university and a great program with a very good friend."
Jackson directed WWU to 19 national post-season appearances, winning the NCAA II national title in 2012 and reaching the national semifinals in 2001. The Vikings had 12 20-win seasons during Jackson's tenure, including a school-record four straight in the late 1980s. With such a long history in Bellingham, the decision to leave WWU was a very tough one.
"It was very, very hard," said Jackson about the decision process. "Our roots are in Bellingham. The other side of that is that my wife grew up in Seattle, I started my coaching career here at SPU and we have a lot of friends here. It is only an hour drive away. The logistics are very easy."
"But, the fact that I've headed a program for 27 years and sort of built it from scratch, leaving that is difficult. The other part is the current players. Some of the relationships I have with them have gone on for quite a few years. Those are going to be the toughest parts about leaving."
Jackson ranks third among the winningest collegiate basketball coaches in state of Washington history with 518 victories, and is one of just five to reach the 500 mark. Jackson was recruited to WSU by the leader in that category Marv Harshman (637), who stands No. 2 in University of Washington history with 246 wins. Jackson also coached against the No.2 person on the state's list, Central Washington's Dean Nicholson (620).
Originally from Vancouver, Wash., Jackson graduated from Hudson's Bay High School. He went on to Washington State where he played both basketball and baseball and graduated in 1975. Jackson led the Pac-8 in assists as a senior.
He would go on to earn a master's degree from Seattle Pacific and served five years as an assistant coach at SPU and five years as a high school head coach prior to coming to WWU in 1985.
Jackson's father-in-law, Roland Halle, was a member of Washington's national semifinal team in 1953.
Jackson will begin his new duties with the Huskies on Monday and accompany the team on its trip to Europe and Africa that begins Aug. 25.

December draws to a close, and 2011 peaks around the corner. As you pack away the holiday decorations, you may have even already given some thought to those New Year's resolutions. Perhaps you want to quit smoking, lose weight, or pay off debt. Maybe even something a little more…intimate.
The results from a recent poll by Wet, manufacturer of the world's best-selling line of intimacy products, suggest that women should resolve to heat up their sex lives in the New Year. Here's why:
- Almost 82% of poll respondents indicated that they wish their sex life was more exciting.
- More than half of respondents (51%) indicated that they are in a relationship and wish they had more sex.
- Almost 20% of respondents reported that they are unsatisfied with their sex life.
These results complement an earlier survey about holidays and sex from Wet, which found that:
- More than half of respondents (57%) have snuck away at a holiday gathering for a quickie.
- 33% are more likely to have a one night stand on New Year's Eve than on any other night of the year.
- More than two-thirds of respondents (65 percent) have given sex as a holiday present.
- Almost one-third of respondents (29 percent) have hooked up with a co-worker at their company's holiday party.
It's good to see some people get creative and keep things fresh and exciting around the holidays, but don't stop there. Take this opportunity and the clean start that comes with January 1st to improve your sex life throughout the year. If you wish yours was more exciting, resolve to turn up the heat. If you wish you had it more often, resolve to make more time for it. With more exciting sex more often, would come more satisfaction, too.
Enjoy yourself, and each other!
Happy New Year!

Memo from MFJ
Stop Tempting Kids with Toys
July/August 2010
Neither McDonald's Corporation nor its Happy Meals existed when I was a kid, so I can't say how I would have been affected by their marketing. But I assure you that millions of children have been captivated by McDonald's not-so-clever gimmick of using toys to get them to pester their parents to head for the Golden Arches.
The company's strategy is doubly insidious when its commercials encourage youngsters to "collect the whole series." In the 1990s, McDonald's waved 101 little dog toys (plus one of Cruella De Vil) in front of kids when it used the movie "101 Dalmatians" to lure customers to its stores.
What makes McDonald's version of "Toys for Tots" triply bad is that the chain's food isn't exactly what you'd call healthful. Happy Meals are too high in calories and sodium, the buns don't contain a speck of whole wheat flour, and, if the meal includes a soft drink, it delivers two days' worth of sugar.
Using toys to sell Happy Meals has been extraordinarily successful. In 2003 sales of Happy Meals amounted to $3.4 billion and made up about 20 percent of McDonald's overall sales, according to The Associated Press. Toys based on Shrek, Barbie, Batman, and countless other pop-culture characters played a big role in that success.
Junk-food companies love to sanctimoniously opine about parental responsibility. And I agree that parents should tell Jenny and Johnny, "We're eating at home tonight." But few parents want to be saying "no" each time a TV ad unleashes a new wave of "pester power."
Roy Bergold, who was McDonald's advertising head for 29 years, apparently agrees. "Parents should totally control their kids. Yeah, right," he told QSR Magazine in June. Bergold cited a survey showing that "the average kid asks his parent for something nine times before the parent gives in....What's a mother to do under this assault?"
Many parents are fed up with companies' manipulating their children. That's why in April, Santa Clara County, California, banned the inclusion of toys with unhealthy restaurant meals. Then in June, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (the nonprofit publisher of Nutrition Action) told McDonald's that it would file a lawsuit unless the company dropped the toy gimmick or was willing to negotiate.
We contended that under state consumerprotection laws it's unfair and deceptive to dangle toys in front of kids to get them to nag their parents to go to McDonald's.
Insiders are remarkably frank when they talk about toys. "Happy Meals proved that you could actually 'brand' a meal and make children harass their parents for it," says consumer-marketing guru Adam Hanft.
"We knew that we needed the toy to make it work," says Joe Johnston, who was on the advertising- agency team in the early 1970s that invented the McDonald's Fun Meal, which later added a toy and became the Happy Meal.
McDonald's says that it is "proud of our long heritage of responsible communication with our customers, especially children…" And the Happy Meals Web site assures parents that "You want the very best for your kids, and so do we."
That's malarkey. McDonald's wants your money—and it will manipulate your kids any which way to get it. Unless the company changes its ways, we'll be filing a lawsuit.

GM CEO Mary Barra will be heading back to Capitol Hill next Wednesday, where she will appear before a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Oversight Committee to answer more questions about how the automaker kept defects in its ignition systems a secret for more than 10 years. Also appearing will be Attorney Anton Valukas, who issued a report on General Motors's delayed recall of 2.6 million small cars last week. According to Valukas, the failure to recall the cars earlier was due to GM's "dysfunctional corporate structure and misconduct or poor decision making by some personnel." Many of these employees have since been let go, while others were "disciplined." The defective ignition switches have been connected to at least 50 crashes and 13 deaths according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The members of the committee hope that Barra will now provide answers to many of the questions she refused to address when she appeared before Congress in April.
Mary Teresa Barra became the first female CEO of a major global automaker, when she succeeded GM Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson in January. During her long tenure with the company Barra has served as Vice President of Global Manufacturing Engineering (2008) before advancing to become Vice President of Global Human Resources (2009). In February 2011, she was named Executive Vice President of Global Product Development, with responsibilities including design and working to reduce the number of automobile platforms., as well as overseeing Global Purchasing and Supply Chain.

This fight should be a good one. It is a UFC welterweight fight between the hard hitting Hector Lombard and the always dangerous Nate Marquardt. UFC 166 is delivering with great fights so far. The Toyota Center looks to be full as we close in on the main card.
Round one begins as both men take the center of the cage. Lombard moves forward slowly as Marquardt circles. Marquardt looks to land some kicks to the body. Lombard is taking his time. They meet in the clinch and both land some solid shots before separating. A short right stuns Marquardt and Lombard send him down with a right hook as Marquardt is on the run. Lombard finishes the fight on the ground. Electric win for Lombard over a very solid fighter.
The official call on this fight is Hector Lombard by knockout at the 1:48 mark of the first round. Lombard will be a tough fight for anyone in the UFC at welterweight.

Confessions Of A Curvy Girl: 'Tis the Season
- Published by
- Posted on
- Leave your thoughts
S0 I polled the readers of my website because I just had to know- is it ever ok to give lingerie as a gift?
The results were surprisingly balanced. About 60% said no way- it is NEVER ok to give lingerie as a gift. The other 40% said it was a great gift, even a treat, if someone bought you lingerie you might have never bought for yourself.
I could not even answer my own question even though I have been given lingerie before. Did I love that gift? No way.
The reason may be because the giver had absolutely no clue what size I wore. He wandered into a local shop and did the ever popular "guess and check." He knew I loved a good push up bra and ran with it. Padding for miles, cutesy bows that would show through even the loosest shirt and the color- hot pink!
But how could he have known? I keep my sizes and measurements close to the breast (literally). Moral to the story? If you think that your significant other may buy you lingerie- jot your sizes on a little note. Save both of yourselves the trouble and embarrassment of giving/getting something that might not even fit on your forearm.
True story. THAT'S how small my gift was. He obviously would have benefited from knowing my Universal Cup Size™.

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh) the associated press Feb. 25, 2014; 10:02 a.m. Comments WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has ruled that police may search a home without a warrant when two occupants disagree about allowing officers to enter, and the resident who refuses access is then arrested. The justices on Tuesday declined to extend an earlier ruling denying entry to police when the occupants disagree and both are present. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the court's 6-3 decision holding that an occupant may not object to a search when he is not at home. Police found a shotgun, ammunition and a knife when they searched the Los Angeles apartment that Walter Fernandez shared with his girlfriend. Fernandez told police they could not enter. But shortly after his arrest, officers returned to the apartment and persuaded the girlfriend to let them in. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

JBlade Java Embedded IPMI library for sensor reading and embedded systems control
By Hinkmond-Oracle on Jan 07, 2013
Hank Bruning from JBlade contacted me about their cool JBlade Hemi library offering that will work with Java Embedded. It's a pure Java Embedded library that uses the IPMI standard to read sensors (like temperature sensors) to control embedded systems (such as your CPUs, Fans, lights and BIOS parameters).
Here is a JBlade survey from Hank about taking temperature readings by embedded devices. If you have time before 31Jan2013, please take this survey to help JBlade learn more about your sensor needs:

Today, Mr. Ross (I have to come up with a nickname for him, this just isn't cutting it! I'm thinking Cap'n Izzy Firepants, which came from GetNicknames.com!)....
Okay so Cap'n Izzy Firepants decided that he might, maybe be keeping Sparano. Except that he told friends and associates, but not Tony. And at some point today (we think), they had a talk. And (we think) Tony laid out his desire to, well, be paid more like the offer that they made to Harbaugh. So (we think) they set about settling that issue, and (we know) called a press conference for this afternoon.
Then, put off the presser, and then cancelled it.
In the meantime, we hear the (previously good) relationship between Tony and Jeff Ireland has soured. How could it not? Carl Peterson is now officially involved in this (in spite of Cap'n Izzy's insistence that he would never be - ha!), and Jeff used to work for Carl. And of course Jeff was on the recruiting trip yesterday...
So, Tony appears to be making things harder for Cap'n Izzy. We think.
And then there was another nugget that came out. Cap'n Izzy also contact Eric Man-genius about "consulting" with the team. What the frick does that mean?
Why do I keep saying we think? Because its all based on stories from people inside who give us the occasional nugget. Do we hear ANY of this from Cap'n Izzy Firepants? Of course not. Why tell the fans or the media anything? Everything is a big secret!
And that leads me to believe that they're actually concealing a bigger secret out there at the Dolphins facility. Maybe the Sorcerers Stone, or Jimmy Hoffa, or the missing Zabruder film. Who knows? It has to be something, otherwise why would a football team play these stupid games?
I expect to see a clown car any day now pulling up to the team facility - its all a circus anyway. And that practice bubble is the tent!

Dec. 30, 2011
By ADAM MEIER
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- It's no secret with the University of Iowa women's basketball team that as the long-range shooting goes, so goes the team. This held true Friday night as the Hawkeyes (8-5, 1-0) made 12 3-pointers and defeated Northwestern (10-4, 0-1), 86-55, in the Big Ten opener on Mediacom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
"We've been waiting awhile for this, and it really feels good," said UI head coach Lisa Bluder. "This feels kind of like the right game where we played a complete game."
With Iowa trailing 13-12 eight minutes into the first half, senior Kamille Wahlin nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key that gave the Hawkeyes the lead and ignited a furious run. Soon after Wahlin's 3-pointer, Jamie Printy stole a Northwestern pass, threw a deep outlet pass to Wahlin, who then pulled back and found a trailing Printy for a deep triple that gave the Hawkeyes a 19-15 lead with 9:52 left in the half.
Printy led the Hawkeyes with 20 points, eight assists and three steals.
The 3-point barrage continued as Kalli Hansen joined in with a 3-pointer of her own, which was followed quickly by three consecutive 3-pointers over the next minute; one hit by Printy and two by freshman Melissa Dixon, which capped Iowa's 20-5 run.
Dixon pitched in 10 points on the night.
"The kid is a shooter," said Bluder. "You know she's going to come in and put up shots. She's got one of those short memories. She doesn't remember how many she missed. She's going to keep shooting them."
Once the dust settled, the Hawkeyes led 35-18 after the run with 6:40 left until halftime.
The Hawkeyes built their lead to 43-22 at the half after Printy banked in a runner in traffic at the buzzer. Eight of the Hawkeyes' 14 first half field goals came from behind the arc.
The second half turned out to be the same story as the first. Iowa continued their impressive long distance shooting and, after back-to-back Wahlin 3-pointers, led Northwestern 61-34 with 11:56 left to play.
Iowa never let off the gas and continued to play aggressive defense, forcing the Wildcats into 17 turnovers and limiting them to 21-of-63 (33.3 percent) shooting for the game.
Wahlin finished with 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting; including 4-of-7 from 3-point range. She also had seven assists and six rebounds. Morgan Johnson had another good game, scoring 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting and grabbing nine rebounds.
As a team, the Hawkeyes shot 31-of-68 (45.6 percent) from the field, including 12-of-27 (44.4 percent) from 3-point range.
The Hawkeyes moved the ball around effectively and efficiently all night, giving the shooters wide-open looks.
"I love the 24 assists," said Bluder. "I think that shows that we are passing the ball for high percentage shots, looking for our teammates. We are drawing the defense really well.
"We pushed and looked very unselfish out there. This was a really good way for us to start the Big Ten season."
The Hawkeyes now travel to Columbus, Ohio, to face unbeaten Ohio State on Monday afternoon. Tipoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. (CT), and it will be televised live on the BTN.

We all know how Apple's Maps app is pretty much a failure right now, when compared to Google's superior navigation app, but it looks like Apple is at least trying to improve the app by hiring new engineers.
AppleInsider are reporting that they noticed some job postings where the Cupertino-based company are looking for some engineers to work with their Maps team. Out of the ten jobs, nine of the engineers "will handle various programming duties, while one will be assigned to tackle navigation." In the job posting, Apple say that their Maps application is the "best mapping program on any mobile platform" - really, Apple?

The issue is this:
I have a private network that uses a proxy server: proxy.address.com port:8080 in order to enable internet access to the hosts.
The thing is that i need to give internet access to some devices (tablets,smartphones) that do not allow proxy configurations.
What i intend to do is to configure the proxy (proxy.address.com:8080) somewhere in the router (TP Link WR740N) so that the hosts accessing the network do not have to use the proxy configurations!
network topology:
wifi client -- > router --> LAN --> VPN Access <--> VPN Access --> Proxy Server >> INTERNET
Is this possible?
If not possible tell me why please...

Lake Burke - Regulations
Largemouth Bass
There is a 12-inch minimum size limit on largemouth bass in Burke Lake. Anglers can harvest five bass per day as long as they are 12 inches or longer. Anglers are encouraged to practice catch and release on larger bass, as their value to the fishery can provide enjoyment for the many other anglers that fish the lake.
There is a 30-inch minimum size limit on muskie in Burke Lake. Anglers can harvest 2 muskie per day if they so desire as long as they are 30 inches or longer. Anglers should take into account that the more carefully released legal size muskies, the better the chances will be to catch a trophy in the 20 to 25 pound range in the years to come.
There is a (statewide) 18" minimum size limit on walleye in Burke Lake. Anglers can harvest 5 walleye per day and are encouraged to do so, as they are excellent eating.

There is no size limit on channel catfish in Burke Lake. Anglers can harvest 10 channel catfish per day.
Bluegill (Sunfish)
There is no size limit on sunfish (bluegill, redear sunfish, warmouth, etc.) in Burke Lake. Anglers can harvest 50 sunfish (combined) per day. Anglers are encouraged to harvest bluegill in hopes of thinning out the population to allow for increased growth rates and eventually larger bluegill.

I wonder, whether something is wrong with the water in Hollywood or celebrities really came up to the idea that family is one of the most important points in the world? Anyway, they DO give births to babies and DO feel fine while showing us their post-baby bellies!
I must admit I love the way they look. Ashley Simpson became so sexy as never before, Angelina Jolie is completely calm and so tender, Nicole Kidman looks as if she had never gave birth to a baby … but there are 2 things uniting them: overwhelming happiness and great clothes.
Maternity clothes must be not only hot and stylish, they should be classic, comfortable, stretchy, friendly to your skin, soft, and cotton. Your belly will grow and your clothes have to be ready for this phenomenon. Some clothes are that nice and comfy that Hollywood moms go on wearing them even after pregnancy period.
Most moms choose Juicy Couture Maternity that offers numerous comfy things. For example, I vote for jeans. With such pants, you will understand that pregnancy is not a problem and you can wear clothes you used to wear. Such jeans will fit perfectly and emphasize your beauty.
But I am ready to bet that most people will still choose maternity dresses while pregnancy. Let's just remember beautiful and sexy Ashley Simpson.
Feel comfortable and wear the best )))

Hello there.
Just a few minutes ago I was playing fmh when my player, Bamba scored a goal. But the it was disallowed. I had a look, and it said Alexander was offside. Confuse as there was no player with such name in my team, I went and looked at Chelsea's team, and there was a player called Alexander.
I'd be happy to give you my save, though I'll have to give you it in a week as I'm in Portugal on holiday at the moment.
Not sure why it occurred, I have a picture but can't upload yet as I'm in holiday.

Collins Named Cissie Leary Regional Award Winner
May 15, 2012
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Memphis junior Courtney Collins has been named the ITA Ohio Valley Region's recipient of the Cissie Leary Award for Sportsmanship. This is the second honor of the season for Collins, as she was previously named to the All-Conference USA First Team.
The Cissie Leary Award for Sportsmanship is given to a women's tennis player "who displays inspiring dedication and commitment to her team, which has enhanced her team's performance and exemplified the spirit of college tennis." Named for the late Cissie Leary, former coach at Penn, the honor was first awarded in 1997.
Collins' unwavering dedication to her teammates, coaches and the University of Memphis was on full display this season. After suffering an injury during the fall season, Collins was given the option of sitting out the spring dual meets, an option she declined.
"I am on an amazing team led by a great coach," said Collins. "We worked hard during the fall and I didn't want to let the team down."
Collins helped lead the Tigers to a 16-5 record and a national ranking in all but one poll this season, reaching a program-best No. 51 on March 20. The U of M made its first appearance in the semifinals of the Conference USA Women's Tennis Championship, narrowly falling to eventual champion No. 26 Tulsa.
After posting a 15-3 record in singles play and a current ranking of No. 33 in the ITA singles poll, Collins was invited to play in the singles draw of the 2012 NCAA Women's Tennis Championship. The championship is slated for May 23-28 in Athens, Ga., on the campus of the University of Georgia.
As a recipient of the regional honor, Collins is one of 12 finalists for the national award, which will be released May 22.

Murphy, a former high school coach in Detroit and assistant at Kent State, will be introduced Thursday by the university.
He takes over for Charles Ramsey, who was fired earlier this month after six seasons.
The hiring of Murphy makes more sense than the other top candidate, former Butler and Iowa coach Todd Lickliter, because Murphy is a Detroit guy and MAC coach, with an understanding of how to recruit the east side of Michigan.
Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said Wednesday that reports of Murphy's hiring were premature. However, according to source, Murphy has already been hired.

However, we've only been looking at the larger, performance minded coolers with 120mm or larger fans. Today we'll be looking at Noctua's NH-U9B SE2 cooler - a smaller, more budget-minded cooler with dual 92mm fans - a perfect fit for a mATX or HTPC case.

1996 Hyundai Tiburon Body Kits
1996 Hyundai Tiburon body kits are additional components that can be used to revise and rejuvenate a ride's appearance. After years of wear and tear, the exterior paneling on many cars begins to look outdated. Any damage to a car's paint or to the exterior parts themselves can lower a automobile's market value, making the use of bodykits is just that important. A body kit can change a car appear more attractive, without ever changing any of the actual mechanics of the ride.
Most custom 1996 Hyundai Tiburon bodykits upgrades come with replacements for several exterior components, front & back bumpers and side add ons. These are the places of a vehicle that are often damaged from daily driving, but they alone aren't the only parts that can be easily fixed. Other custom body paneling can be used to customize a car's look, so 1996 Hyundai Tiburon bodykits can often be customized to a driver's specific needs. For an enhanced appearance that takes off the poor appearance resulting from years of usage, a simple bodykits can make you smile.

Creator Robert Kirkman is sharing some limited spoilers for "The Walking Dead" and reveals fans do not want to miss episode 14. Entertainment Weekly reports on March 14 that Kirkman is predicting something major will happen that will shock viewers in "The Grove" episode. Rumors indicate a major character could die or details about the mysterious Terminus may be revealed.
Kirkman is hinting that the cast of "The Walking Dead" will eventually reach Terminus, but he will not confirm if it will happen in "The Grove" episode. It has been suggested that Terminus may not be the sanctuary the survivors are expecting, and it may actually be another nightmare waiting to destroy them.
The creator will not confirm rumors about the next dead character on the show, but it is unlikely to be Abraham. Kirkman suggests he will have a bigger role next season if he survives. On the other hand, he is willing to discuss love and believes the chance of a romantic relationship developing between Daryl and Beth is not likely.
Kirkman's suggestion that "The Grove" episode is one of the most important ones this season seems to confirm some of the rumors that a major shift will happen. Death is often used by "The Walking Dead" to change the surviving characters' direction, but who will be sacrificed this time? Beth's kidnapping and disappearance create a convenient way to kill her character. However, she is not the only potential target, and it has been suggested Lizzie or Judith could die.

Salen: Of punk music, rock critic Greil Marcus writes, "The Sex Pistols made a breach in the pop milieu, in the screen of received cultural assumptions governing what one expected to hear and how one expected to respond." Decades later, the same DIY cultural sensibility would resurface in a video game called DOOM. As the game that introduced the world to the art of the mod, DOOM's infiltration of popular culture has reinvented the way we play. From the streets of Liberty City to the suburban living rooms of the Sims, players are remaking game systems in their own image. Street Mods will explore and celebrate games and game mods with an eye to urban identity, social resistance, and cultural play.

In the early 1980's, arcade games ushered in a whole new way to think about gaming, technology, and the social connection between the two. Yet over the course of the last 20 years, many of these works of art have been lost to destruction, decay, or simply forgotten altogether. Today, through the use of a technology called emulation, "Arcade Console" brings this archive of classic games back to life. Using a custom-built arcade cabinet created by Gus the Country Carpenter, "Arcade Console" mimics the look, feel and experience of a real arcade machine and includes virtually every arcade game ever created. It's a look back at the history and nostalgia of arcade gaming for those who remember it, and those who never had a chance to.
Brent Gustafson is a New Media Designer at the Walker Art Center, and holds a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics. His interest in video games stems back to his childhood, and also through his work as a video gaming journalist for Gannett News Service in the early 1990's. His website, assembler.org, is a virtual playground for his video game projects.

Nuclear power is dangerous, dirty and expensive. The government is currently putting a framework in place to kick-start a new generation of nuclear power stations. Now is the time to create a massive public outcry and stop this plan in its tracks. Please join us and use this leaflet to counter the nuclear myths.
Here are some of the reasons why:
Not Safe
- Mismanagement of nuclear waste over the last 60 years has meant that radiation has already contaminated our environment(1). Radiation causes cancer and eventually kills.
- The nuclear industry is already struggling to deal with 500,000 cubic metres of nuclear waste being stored around the UK. There is no approved method of long-term storage.
- March 2010: nuclear power station operator, Magnox, fined £250,000 for allowing 14 years of radioactive leaks from a holding tank at Bradwell nuclear power station in Essex (2).
- April 2010: Sellafield nuclear processing facility exposed for dumping five bags of radioactive waste in a landfill site after a faulty scanner passed them as safe (3).
- Since 2000, there have been near-disasters at reactors in Sweden (4), the Netherlands (5), Japan (6) and France (7).
- The nuclear industry says that the new generation of reactors will be safer. But human error, earthquakes, floods or terrorism can never be ruled out.
- Trains carrying dangerous nuclear waste travel through the UK's major cities regularly. This is dangerous.
Not Green
- The Sustainable Development Commission estimates that a nuclear power programme will only deliver a cut in carbon dioxide emissions of 2.4% by 2020 (8).
- Uranium (nuclear fuel) extraction and processing is one of the most dangerous and carbon-intensive forms of mining.
- Nuclear waste from new reactors will be even more toxic than existing radioactive by-products (9).
Not Cheap
- The current decommissioning and clean-up costs for the UK's existing nuclear industry is equivalent to a bill of over £1,600 for every person in the UK (10).
- Construction of the first new EPR reactor in Finland is 3 years behind schedule and is £1bn over-budget.
- UK taxpayers have always subsidised the nuclear industry to manage nuclear waste, insure against accidents and provide protection against terrorism.
- When David Cameron says new reactors will be built without public subsidy, he means subsidies will be provided under another name.
- It's likely that the cost of building new reactors will be transferred to our electricity use - and energy bills will soar as a result.
What's the alternative?
- Reports by respected organisations in both the UK and Europe have shown that there are more than enough renewable sources of power to meet present and future needs. Reducing our energy demand is the key.
- Renewables are cheaper, can be built more quickly and have none of the dangers associated with nuclear energy. They could also create thousands of new jobs. What we need is a government that has the vision and courage to make this happen.
- The development of smart-grids will allow a much more flexible supply of power from different sources to meet different demands. Nuclear energy is a dinosaur in the mix. It has no place in our future.
A few of the alternative strategies available can be found via:
- Centre for Alternative Technology's report: Zero Carbon Britain
- Sustainable Development Commission's report: Nuclear power in a low carbon economy
- Greenpeace's report: Decentralising Power: an energy revolution for the 21st century
- EnergyFair: a wealth of reports at http://www.mng.org.uk/gh/scenarios.htm
Before it's too late….
…join Kick Nuclear. We are part of the Stop Nuclear Power Network, a national alliance of groups campaigning against new nuclear power.
Over the next few months we will be building up the momentum against a nuclear future. Join our events or plan your own. We need to make a massive amount of noise, very quickly. For further information go to: http://kicknuclear.org Or contact us on: kicknuclear [at] kicknuclear.org or 07506-006597.
We are calling for a national boycott of EDF Energy – the company that has most to gain from new nuclear. If you are an EDF Energy customer, please make the switch. Our website provides a step-by-step guide to changing companies online. It should take less than 10 minutes. Find out more at: http://boycottedf.org.uk/
