When My Son Beats Me
I'm crazy about my boy. I'm not suggesting this is unique as I'm sure almost all fathers feel this way about their sons, but it's a super intense and awesome feeling to love someone in this way.
Last year, when my boy was only 10-years old, I let him draft in my annual playoff pool for the first time. He didn't receive any special help and had to draft like the rest of us. He ended up beating me by one point.
It's very, very early, but if I glance at the current standings of this year's pool, I see my 11-year old leading the pack. Heck, he's already 15 points up on his uncle Steve. And it looks like he'll only lose Subban and Kessel heading into the 2nd round. He's in pretty good shape.
You'd think I'd feel a little like Homer Simpson, but I don't. I'm damn proud of him and I hope he kicks my ass.

Mike. I know the feeling. I remember the first time my son beat me at Chess and Quake (legitimately). It was a proud moment.May 9, 2013 / 20:40
Get ready for more future ass kickings Mike. I always took mine with a great sense of pride also.May 9, 2013 / 20:46
My 5-year old beat me at Mario Kart Wii the other day..legitimatly. The kid got 48 coins in battle mode to my 21, he was so happy he started doing a victory dance...I wept just a little :)May 10, 2013 / 08:07

Ten years ago, Peter Dumanian, MBA '92, and a few of his GSB classmates envisioned the East Palo Alto Chapter of the "I Have a Dream" (IHAD) program, modeled after a famous program founded a decade earlier in East Harlem. Within a year and a half, a core group of 20 GSB students raised $450,000 from classmates, alumni, and corporate donors, and adopted a class of 58 3rd and 4th grade "Dreamers" from Flood elementary school. The program was a phenomenal success, as class after class of GSB students tutored and mentored the Dreamers through high school.
Though long since graduated, Dumanian, who now sits on the IHAD board with other former founders, is at it again. Over the summer, as the final half of the original Dreamers prepare for college, IHAD prepared for a second generation of Dreamers. This time, GSB students will adopt a class of 60 1st graders at Costano elementary school in East Palo Alto. Along with the new class of Dreamers, IHAD also selected a new program coordinator in July who will oversee the incoming class.
Stacey Beese, who holds a Master's of Arts in Education from Stanford, brings considerable depth and experience to the position. Prior to her graduation last year, Beese managed an after-school program in Washington D.C., taught Spanish in the Teach for America Corps, and was a Project Director at Stanford's Center for Research on the Context of Learning, among various other positions.
Since assuming the role of IHAD coordinator in early August, Beese has been busy making sure that the experience of the second generation of Dreamers will be as fun and meaningful as it was for the first generation. To Beese, this means getting every detail perfect, from talking with Costano teachers to decorating the portable classroom the school has given to the program. "I am really looking forward to this," says Beese, "and I think that everyone else is too."
Fundraising has also been in full-force for the new program. More than $770,000 in gifts and pledges has already been raised towards the goal of $1.3 million to cover the costs of scholarships, materials, and administration. This summer alone, IHAD received generous donations from charitable organizations such as the Gill Foundation, the Schwab Family Foundation, and the Skoll Foundation. Other sources of funding include prominent members of the community who prefer not to be named. Although IHAD will continue fundraising until it reaches its goal, it is well prepared to launch the program this fall.
As the new IHAD leadership team at the GSB wound down summer internships, they are turned their attention towards preparing activities for Dreamers, mentor recruiting, and planning for the SMIF/IHAD Carnival on October 19. More than anything, these students, and the rest of the IHAD organization and community, would love to see history repeat itself for the new class of Dreamers.

It's the start of the August Bank Holiday, the long weekend that annually plays host to the Reading and Leeds music festivals, which can only mean that the lucky folks heading to those two locations over the next few days are going to have the opportunity to sample the delights of the Directors Notes & OFVM Cinema Tent Shorts.
As usual it was pretty easy for El Vez and I to pick our favourites from the last year, unfortunately cutting that list down to a realistic length for three nights of screenings was much more of a challenge. As always there's a healthy mix of styles and genres and I'd like to thank all the filmmakers for their generosity. I plan to buy each and everyone of them a beer this weekend whether they make it or not – I'm happy to drink in your honour guys!
Speaking of which, team DN will be at Reading all weekend so drop us a tweet – @WeAreDN, @MarBelle or @kung_fuelvis – if you'd like to say hello or let us know what you think of the selection – you can click on the posters for timings.

After a domineering performance on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Indiana Pacers are 8-0 for the first time in franchise history. The physical play of the defensive-minded Pacers has completely shut down the offensive rhythm of their opponents this season. Not only is Indiana's 7'2'' center Roy Hibbert leading the NBA with 4.38 blocks per game (Serge Ibaka led the league last year with 3.03 blocks per game), but the NBA's only remaining undefeated team also ranks #1 in points against.
The Pacers are holding their opponents to a meager 84.5 points per game, and even though it would be nearly impossible to maintain a sub-85 points against average for an entire season, Indiana's defense appears to be the league's most dominant for the second year in a row. Even more impressive is the fact that the Pacers are outscoring their opponents by an average of over 10 points, while holding opponents to a league-low .389 field goal percentage.
As a result, the Pacers are finally getting some much-deserved attention from the sports media world. After a grueling and heartbreaking seven game series against Miami in the Eastern Conference Finals last summer, it would be a mistake to call Indiana's early eight game winning streak a fluke. This team plays incredibly hard and they are hungry for success. Especially Paul George, their 23-year-old leading scorer and a freak of nature who has rapidly improved in each of his four seasons in the NBA.

Esophageal cancer
Esophageal cancer occurs in the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Although survival rates have improved over the years, esophageal cancer is usually diagnosed when it has advanced and is more difficult to treat.
Types of esphageal cancer
- Squamous cell carcinoma occurs in the cells lining the esophagus. This type of esophageal cancer is more common in African-Americans.
- Adenocarcinoma occurs in glandular tissue, most often in the lower part of the esophagus near the stomach. It is the most common type of esophageal cancer. Adenocarcinomas are more common among Caucasians.
Esophageal cancer symptoms of are often not evident during its early stages. Even though symptoms may not mean cancer, people should consider contacting a doctor when experiencing the following symptoms:
- Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- Pain, pressure or burning in the throat or chest
- Weight loss
- Vomiting
- Hoarseness
- Persistent hiccups
- Chronic cough
Risk factors
- Long-term history of smoking
- Consumption of alcohol, especially when combined with smoking
- Barrett's Esophagus: a condition in which chronic acid reflux causes changes in the cells lining the lower esophagus, increasing the risk of adenocarcinoma
- Achalasia: a disease in which the esophagus fails to move food into the stomach properly
- Tylosis: a rare, inherited disorder that causes excess skin to grow on the soles of the feet and palms and has a near 100% chance of developing into esophageal cancer
- Esophageal webs: flaps of tissue that protrude into the esophagus, making swallowing difficult
- Lye or other caustic substances: when ingested, such substances can cause scarring that may progress to cancer years later

According to the Drought Monitor for California, eighty percent of the state is in "extreme" to "extraordinary" drought and 100 percent of the state is in "severe" drought or worse. More than sixty percent of California's developed water supply originates in the Sierra Nevada. Sierra Nevada forests and California's water supply face grave threats due to damaging wildfires, development, contamination from historic mining activities and changes in climate.
"The Sierra Business Council's Peak Innovation conference will address what we – individuals, small businesses, communities and local governments – can do about water shortages and policy at the state level," said Steve Frisch, president of Sierra Business Council. "Conference registration is not limited to Sierra Nevada residents just as issues impacting our communities are not limited to the region."
Peak Innovation presents Dr. Peter Gleick, an internationally renowned water expert, to address demand and rational for increasing financial investment in Sierra ecosystems. In a National Geographic science blog, he recently repeated the common question, "Why, if the California drought is so bad, has the response been so tepid?" Dr. Gleick will be moderating two Peak Innovation panels during Sierra Business Council's 20th anniversary conference. He will facilitate discussion about leveraging investment in the Sierra Nevada. The first panel addresses innovative private financing strategies with Jeremy Sokulsky from Environmental Incentives, Jenny Kassan from Cutting Edge Capital and David Groves from Private Capital for Public Good. The second, featuring Mark Nechodom from the California Department of Conservation, Kerri Timmer from Sierra Business Council and Jonathon Parfrey from Climate Resolve, will examine creative ways to increase public funding in Sierra ecosystems and address topics related to investing in the health of Sierra forests, wetlands, and waterways.
The focus of Peak Innovation includes sharing proven, cost-effective strategies. In addition to Dr. Gleick, Peak Innovation brings together leading sustainable business leaders to inspire and inform one other from Oct. 8 – 10 in Tahoe City.
"For Sierra Nevada communities to thrive," says Steve Frisch, SBC's President, "We must be proactive in advancing triple bottom line initiatives that create opportunities for the region while simultaneously building economic, environmental and community capital."
Peak Innovation will provide action steps that businesses and government entities can embrace on the path towards sustainability. For example, one panel will showcase the bottom-line economic, environmental and social benefits of achievable sustainable business practices: Business owners and managers will have the opportunity to discover strategies that can cut expenses while building customer loyalty and contributing to the Sierra's environmental health. Participants will learn about models that reduce negative impacts on the environment and contribute to employee well being while saving money and increasing profits in a panel co-moderated by Richard Eidlin, Co-Founder and Policy Director of the Washington D.C.-based American Sustainable Business Council and Kristin York of the Sierra Business Council. Patagonia's Elissa Loughman will discuss what it takes to become a B Corp and how to kick start a culture of triple bottom line planning with an emphasis on how to get started. In addition, Truckee-based Joanna Walters from Sierra Cost Management will share case studies on how small companies are saving money by significantly reducing waste costs through recycling and employee education.
Non-profit organizations and agencies will also be addressed. In another panel, also part of the "Cultivating innovation and building scale" track, attendees will hear how leaders are defining and fostering unique versions of triple bottom line innovation. Stacy Caldwell, Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation's CEO, who recently filmed "Innovation at 6,000 Ft.," showcasing creative solutions to food security and distribution in the Sierra, will moderate a panel with Reno's Rebecca Gasca from The Burning Man Project, Don Macke from the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship and San Francisco-based Sally Bingham from Interfaith Power and Light.
On Oct. 10, all conference attendees will gain insights during a keynote talk by CNN Crossfire host Van Jones and begin creating a better Sierra through a highly interactive workshop facilitated by SBC staff.
Peak Innovation strives to meet Zero Waste guidelines. Conference sponsors include Northern California Regional Council of Carpenters, Carpenters 46 Northern California Counties Conference Board, Northern California District Council of Laborers, Smart Cities Prevail, PG & E, mPower Placer, Sierra Nevada Conservancy, Coso Operating Company, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency California Tahoe Conservancy, The Nature Conservancy, Sierra Pacific Industries, Morgan Family Foundation c/o Silicon Valley Community Foundation and the Truckee Donner Land Trust. Additional support is provided by Capital Public Radio, Carmel Gallery, Clif Bar, Granlibakken, Tahoe Trips & Trails, Stella at The Cedar House, Wild & Scenic Film Festival, Squaw/Alpine, and Spiral Internet.
Registration, including all meals, networking opportunities, plenary sessions and panel discussions, costs $599. Discounted lodging at Granlibakken is available for conference attendees.

Tangled Web isn't your typical Spider-man book, comprising a collection of short stories from diverse creators. These were stories focused not only on Spidey, but also giving face time to supporting cast and villains. It resulted in a 22-issue run that included some brilliant issues, completely atypical of what you'd expect. In the first volume alone we get a peek into the life of the Kingpin's middle-management while another two issues are dedicated to Rhino contemplating the concepts of intellect, body image and identity.
Writers: Garth Ennis, Peter Milligan, Greg Rucka
Artists: John McCrea, Duncan Fegredo, Eduardo Risso
Publisher: Marvel
Age: Teens
Tangled Web is a supplemental book to the main Spider-Man releases, with each story wrapping up in under 3 issues. These quick tales weren't even necessarily about Spider-Man himself, instead focusing on his supporting characters and sometimes his relationships with them. It's a good way to broaden Spidey's world and also to flesh-out the rest of the cast. This was also an opportunity for Marvel to bring in an assortment of creators whom you wouldn't typically associate with Spider-Man or Marvel's superhero books. Instead we get a rotating crew of writers and artists who're more closely linked to alternative or mature comics, much like the recent volumes of Strange Tales.
The first story features the team of Garth Ennis and John McCrea, fresh off of their stint on Hitman. This was right around the time that Ennis first transitioned to Marvel from DC, to take over the Punisher franchise. We can view this short three-issue Spider-man story as a preview (at the time) to see whether he could make his style work at Marvel, incorporating his signature antics while still staying true to the character's voices.
Thankfully Ennis succeeded in his migration, both with this book and with the Punisher. In this particular story he channels the best horror of his Hellblazer run, creating a genuinely unsettling threat from Peter Parker's past. At the same time he captures a beautiful warmth between Peter and Aunt May, which also reminds me of his Hellblazer days. McCrea's changes his art style from Hitman, using much cleaner lines and less cluttered panels. It gives the issues a cartoon-ish vibe, working especially well during fight sequences that become hyper-kinetic.
The second story is a single issue from Greg Rucka and Eduardo Risso. Rucka's best work is when he deals with the ancillary characters to super heroes, the ones working on the sidelines of the caped world. These are the cops who clean up after the crime sprees, as exemplified in the criminally under-read Gotham Central (with co-writer Ed Brubaker), and the minions who follow the orders of the crime bosses. This time we glimpse a night in the life of Tom, a planner in Kingpin's organization who recently failed him.
It's a chilling story, tense through the single issue and riveting to readers despite never having known the character before. It's Rucka at his tightest and Risso' noir style is the perfect accompaniment. The issue ended up with an Eisner nomination and honestly is worth the price of the TPB by itself.
The final story is "Flowers for Rhino", an homage/spoof of Flowers for Algernon. After getting beaten and humiliated by Spider-Man following a "tactical error," Rhino gets fed up and decides the solution is the get a mad scientist to make him smarter. At it's core, this is a story about Rhino wanting to be smarter. This is pretty hilarious. Dig deeper and this is an existential tale about Rhino brooding on the concepts of intelligence and identity. This is also pretty hilarious.
The story is written by Peter Milligan, of X-Statix fame, so you know that it's going to be a script that's both smart and witty. He's accompanied by Duncan Fegredo, better known as Mike Mignola's replacement artist on Hellboy, who flexes his artistic muscles and creates a vibrant Manhattan. The two issues pack in a lot, featuring references and homages that are nice easter eggs to readers who notice them.
While overall this story may be fun it's also pretty touching, especially for a character like Rhino. He's been around for so long that he's endeared to Spider-Man readers, but at the same time lacks respect to those same readers (and anyone who knows him) and isn't a character that's been given depth. This is one of the rare times where he's in the spotlight, which is part of the joke, but is also quite refreshing. Reading a well done Rhino story makes me realize that I've already invested so much into Rhino that I can't help but enjoy it. These quick little stories with characters we've grown to love are why Tangled Web is a welcome addition to the Spider-Man canon, adding depth to his world and giving us enjoyable side-adventures with the supporting cast.

Are We in a Buying Stampede?
By Jeff Saut Jan 28, 2013 10:30 am
With the fiscal cliff debacle now passing into the rearview mirror, at least in the short-term, investors are going to have to start focusing on the fundamentals.
Of course such action is lighting up my phone with the question, "have we seen the bottom?" Such questions reminded me of this tale from an era gone by. It was August 1982 right after the bull market began when we at E.F. Hutton had a national call with the firm's strategist Newton Zinder. After telling us all about support points and resistance levels, he was asked, "Newton, all we want to know is, have we seen the bottom?" To which Newton Zinder, with all seriousness, said, "Well, if the market keeps rallying, then yes, we have seen the bottom!" I have not been so glib, having suggested for months that there is a 25% possibility that we are in a new secular bull market and nobody believes it. Consider this, over the past two alleged Armageddons our government has become just a little less dysfunctional. Last week there was even more movement that way when the DC Court of Appeals slapped down the National Labor Relations Board's appointees, potentially invalidating many of the NLRB's decisions. If so, that could unlock billions of dollars of "shelved" projects like Boeing's (NYSE:BA) debacle in South Carolina.
Ladies and gentlemen, if we can put the government's dysfunctionality behind us, the really good things that are occurring in our country should take the lead. Things like energy independence, onshoring, increased manufacturing, the strengthening housing recovery, strong auto sales, a technology boom, more employment, etc. Furthermore, as investors grow more comfortable with this outlook, money should move out of cash and fixed income and into stocks, other assets and goods/services; and, that move may have already begun (see chart below). As Bridgewater's Ray Dalio said, "The shift of that massive amount of cash is what will be a game changer."
With Dalio's thoughts in mind, we polled our analysts at Raymond James looking for their best stock ideas for a three- to five-year holding period that meet the following criteria: have a recurring revenue stream; have high barriers to entry in its markets served; its business is not dependent on the economy or financial markets to prosper; can grow EBITDA 5-10% annually or better regardless of economic conditions; competitive edge in its industry or sector; a company CEO who has been successful before; and the company is expected to be a superior investment over the next three to five years. Additionally, the stock should have: a current market cap of between $300 million and $10 billion, average daily trading volume of 100,000 shares or more, a stock price of $4 or more, and it need not pay a dividend. Further, no banks or utilities were considered. These are the stocks that made that screen: Altera (NASDAQ:ALTR); Conceptus (NASDAQ:CPTS); Denbury Resources (NYSE:DNR); NIC Corp. (NASDAQ:EGOV); Equinix (NASDAQ:EQIX); EV Energy (NASDAQ:EVEP); IDEXX Laboratories (NASDAQ:IDXX); Iridium Communications (NASDAQ:IRDM); LKQ Corp. (NASDAQ:LKQ); National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV); Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ:VRSK), and Wabtec (NYSE:WAB).
The call for this week: In last Friday's Morning Tack I talked about a pattern in candlestick charting known as a "doji" formation. A doji represents indecision in the market. When a doji forms in an uptrend or downtrend, this is normally seen as significant, as it is a signal the buyers are losing conviction, or that sellers are losing conviction. If, however, the doji formation is ignored by the market, like it was on Friday, it probably means the buying stampede remains in force. But at day 18, in the typical 17- to 25-session skein, this rally is pretty long of tooth. That said, there is nothing in my work that suggests we are anywhere near a major top in the equity markets, even though we could be near a short-term trading top based on my day-count sequence and the overbought conditions. Nevertheless, I would not get bearish because in the intermediate term we could be involved in what we saw from July 2006 until February 2007 where the SPX gained 225 points (~18%) and only experienced 20 – 30 point pullbacks along the way. Indeed, as Bridgewater's Ray Dalio said, "The shift of that massive amount of cash is what will be a game changer."

In theaters this weekend is, in my opinion, the best movie adaptation of the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' comic book to date. Now before you angrily close your web browser out of spite, allow me to explain.
While no, this story is not feasible, practical, humorous, or even action packed enough to stand alone as an entertaining spectacle for "mature" adult audiences, there is enough borderline/grey area gags, bits, and gimmicks to keep your mind from wandering. This, especially, if you grew up with (or had previously exposure to) the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this movie is a gold mine of flashbacks, fond memories and nostalgia. But the reason my numerical rating is so low is simply because were it not for the nostalgia factor, as an "mature adult" (by legal standards anyway) I may well have grown bored during the spectacle and may've left unhappy and disappointed.
My favorite part, if I'm honest, was seeing Will Arnett (picturing him as 'Arrested Development's' Gob [pronounced "Jobe," not "Gob"] Bluth) play an action star. But Megan Fox, as April O'Neil, gave an excellent performance that really stole almost every scene that she was in. The rest of the cast was well picked as well, but since they were mainly voice overs, their's weren't as noticeable.
Don't worry those who were [also] in fear of Michael Bay overloading it with an overabundance of superfluous special effects and utter cheese. There are only two sequences that really stood out to me as "too much."
Again, if you experienced the series in the past and didn't mind the terrible rubber suits, you will probably enjoy this movie quite a bit, even despite the changes and tweaks to the story.
At the close, I would like to thank Epic Theaters [for their providing a very amiable theater in which to view this (and other) movies and recommend that you go to one of their several local locations for your next cinematic experience.

I just installed kubuntu 11.04 and first it downloaded and installed packages fine but after a few time it cant download the packages and it says:"connection has timed out" I already tried to unplug and plug my moden but it didnt work do you have any ideas how to fix this?
1) As A GENERAL fix, try connecting to the Internet and opening a Terminal then, try the following commands on at a time.
Does it work? Does it stop? At what point does it stop and what error message does it give?
2) Try changing your Repositories to the quickest. (This can almost change day to day, so it needs to be watched.)
Go Synaptic Package Manager>Settings>Repositories>then, where it says "Download From" change to "Other"> Choose Select Best Server

The 2015 Honda CRV has a gorgeous design.

The 2015 model of Mazda CX-5 is a 5-passenger crossover that brings two unique benefits to the table of its owners: fuel efficiency in one hand and excellent performance in the other hand.

I'm helping someone using time machine. The user deleted some files off there hdd because they where backed up on the time machine. Well now the user wants to restore the files. Here comes the kicker. The user doesn't remember when they deleted the files, the name of the folder, the name of any of the files, or where they were on the computer in the fist place. Mystery files my favorite!
So I would like create a list of all the files that have been delete between every time machine backup. And then look for a large change.
Any ideas? Or better ideas on how to track down the mystery files?

Should Pa. seek death penalty in 'cult killing' of mentally challenged woman?
Jennifer Daugherty, a 30-year-old mentally challenged woman living in Greensburg, Pa. (about 40 miles southeast of downtown Pittsburgh), was brutally tortured last week by a group of people she apparently considered friends. True Crime Report is on the story and so are a few others. Here's a summary from the front page of the Tribune Review today:
They shaved her head and smeared her face with nail polish. They forced Daugherty to drink and eat urine, detergent, medication, spices and vegetable oil. They beat her with a towel rack, a vacuum hose and a crutch. They wrapped Christmas lights around her. Knight stabbed her in the chest, side and neck, an affidavit said. Smyrnes told police he cut her in the wrist. The suspects implicated each other in the murder, police said.
Knight and Smyrnes stuffed the victim into a trash can and dragged it a few blocks to the parking lot of Greensburg Salem Middle School, police allege. It was found about 6:30 a.m. Thursday.
Greensburg Police identified the following suspects:
There's already death penalty discussion surrounding this case, despite the plethora of questions and the lack of available answers. The Post-Gazette quotes Greensburg police Chief Walter Lyons saying this might have been a case of jealousy gone horrifically insane, but investigators are not getting consistent stories from so-called persons of interest.
"We're getting different statements from different people," he said. "We're still trying to talk to all the people who are involved to try to pin down exactly what the motive was." Police have said Ms. Daugherty had "some relationship" with Mr. Smyrnes, but they were still trying to determine its nature.
People — and even people with no identifiable connection with the situation or the town or… anything, really — have a tendency to go berserk with outrage in cases like this. Some are already calling this a "cult killing."
The tendency to go berserk is certainly justifiable; the thought of six individuals torturing a helpless and innocent woman for 33-hours before stabbing her to death and throwing her into a trashcan… well, that's enough to get anyone furious. But let's see how this one plays out. A few of the suspects have certifiable mental illnesses, and one psychologist told the Tribune-Review there's a good chance some suspects were more involved in this murder than others.
Susan Goldberg, a psychologist at Duquesne University specializing in criminal behavior, said the alleged murder likely was triggered by the presence of one strong individual in the group.
"I'm suggesting there is a leader," Goldberg said. "Most murders do not rise to this level of sadism. And it's difficult to imagine all six individuals exhibiting the same sadistic tendencies to this degree."
Of course, it's all speculation at this point. And none of that last bit holds much weight in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. "Accomplice liability" means that if you participated in a crime that resulted in a murder, your degree of involvement doesn't really matter; you're liable to get charged with murder anyway.
Which means the R.I.P. Jennifer Daugherty page on Facebook might soon begin to look a lot like the Capital Murder For Richard Poplawski page.
Stay tuned.
UPDATE via UpTheDown, Gargilius and others on Reddit: Consider that some say it costs states quite a bit more to execute a person than it does to keep them in prison for life. Discuss if you're up for it.

As much as I love the unseasonably warm weather we're having in Indianapolis, it's making getting dressed slightly more challenging. While I'd normally be embracing chunky sweaters, tights, and boots, this year, I find myself clinging to my sandals (it's 80 degrees!).
When attempting to wear my summery clothing without looking silly in late October, I employ a few basic rules:
- Black is always safe - even if it's a light cotton, or other warm-weather material.
- Layering is essential. It may be warm when you leave the house for dinner, but by the time you've returned home, the temperature is bound to have dropped.
- If you plan to wear a summery skirt or dress, pair it with boots instead of sandals.
- Rocking the sandals can be acceptable, as long as the rest of your outfit is transitional. Try wearing them with skinny jeans, a loose top, and a long cardi.
One of the biggest challenges of the transitional season is trying to put together outfits for going out. We're not yet at the point where you can get away with bundling up at the bars, but skimpy minis and tanks look a little silly.
If you're not ready to give up your shorter dresses, don't be afraid to wear them with leggings.
My favorite recent find is the Sleeveless V-Neck Dress from Target. I was slightly alarmed by the fact that it's Juniors at first. However, once I paired it with black leggings, it was the perfect outfit for the bars. There's something about lace, when done right, that makes you feel incredibly attractive. This dress was the perfect piece for a Saturday night in Broad Ripple.
As the temperatures continue to drop, I'll switch out my flats for boots, throw on a cardigan, and continue to rock the dress through winter.

Open Source Software Arrest
By bblfish on May 18, 2007
I witnessed the arrest of an open source programmer at JavaOne! Simon Phipps where were you? Off writing another major article for Linux Journal presumably. The poor man was arrested by a mad parrot, even after he swore to work on only open source projects, and was taken away by a bunch of unelected generals to work on his code. I could not report on this, as I was too busy preparing my presentation.
I am mad. Mad!

We're just a week away from electing our next president and the stakes are high.

Taking the Soft Drink Taste Test
Coca-Cola (KO), PepsiCo (PEP) and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (DPS) are clearly the big three in non-alcoholic beverages. DPS began trading in its current form on May 7, 2008 after a spin-off from Cadbury Schweppes.
Coke and Pepsi garner all the accolades in terms of financial strength, stock price stability and earnings predictability. Those great attributes come at a relatively high price. Both stocks now trade for greater than 19x projected 2013 earnings. Their average multiples were 17.4x and 17.1x respectively during the years 2008 – 2012. Those price/earnings ratios look generous when you consider the modest 4-year profit growth.

BANGOR-- The Bangor Christian Patriots girls soccer will have a good mix of veterans and new players heading into the 2014 season.
The Patriots won two games last season. This year, they will be looking to get one of the tournament spots in class D.
"We are encouraged about this team. We are returning many veterans, losing three to graduation. There has been a good turnout of 22 girls, seven being new incoming freshmen, Bangor Christian coach Darryl Peary said. "The girls have shown a great attitude during the early part of the conditioning program. We look to have a winning record and become a competitive tournament contender."
Peary and the Patriots are uncertain who will get the majority of the time at the goalie position. Senior Sierra MacDonald, freshman Becca Boutote, and junior Ashleigh Collins all could see time at that position. Collins will also be counted upon heavily as a defensive back.
Collins and Martin will lead a solid defense for Bangor Christian. They will be supported by Amber Wilcox, Kate Jones, Boutote, and Lindsey Turtlott.
Mikella Phillips, Kate Wallenga will provide solid play and senior leadership at the midfield position. Other veterans that will get time at midfield will be Abby Thompson, Rebekah Wood, and Maddie Hall. Thompson and Hall will also get time at striker.
Jasmine Brown returns for her junior season. Brown led the Patriots in scoring as a sophomore. Alexis Thompson and Alexis Davis will also be looking for some time at an offensive position.
Other team members that will be looking for playing time include sophomores Sarah Ogan and Dominique Thomas, freshmen Kennedy Brown, Kelsey DeRoche, Cherity Diegidio, Morgan Hobert, and Caitlin Peary.
The Patriots will open the season with home games against Schenck and Deer Isle-Stonington.
For updates throughout the season, check out the Bangor Christian athletics Facebook page and the Eastern Maine Sports Blog.

Our kitchen is being remodeled due to a leak from our Refrigerator. The refrigerator is moved to a different room with no water line running to it. The Refrigerator still makes sounds of running water occasionally. Does the Water Dispenser/Ice Maker continue to circulate water that is still in the tubing when the refrigerator is plugged in?
On my fridge, you can shut-off the ice maker by lifting a "bar" by the tray. This "bar" works with the "auto-shutoff" for when the ice container is empty. Check your docs to see if you can simply turn it off so that it does no cycle.

Growing up, I remember my mother and aunts and grandmothers all having an extensive cookbook collection. These ladies also had index cards and notes stuffed into boxes and binders on recipes they loved, their families would eat, and were relatively easy to prepare. Whenever a church social, baby shower, or funeral would arrise, out came the little boxes and folders. Kitchen tables would be covered in paper as they cross referenced tried and true recipes with peoples' tastes and what they had on hand.
Today, things are a bit different it seems in this increasingly digital age. Where our mothers and grandmothers had libraries of cookbooks, we have bookmarked pages and folders on our laptops or desktops. Within moments, we can type a recipe or ingredient into a search engine, and millions of ideas are at our fingertips. And not only do we have the recipe with step by step instructions, but we have comments from other people's attempts and beautifully depicted pictures of how our end results should look. That is definitely something lacking from the analog cooking approach.
Almost everyone has come to know and love Pinterest.com in the past year. By typing in your food longings, you are rewarded with picture after picture linked back to (in most cases) instructions on how to create that delicious looking meal or appetizer. But there are other similar sites that I like to call my "digital cookbooks" with equally appetizing ideas and mouthwatering pictures.
Let the dust gather on your old cookbooks while you peruse these tasty links below.

- Punchfork - The best new recipes from top food sites
- Allrecipes - Recipes, menus, meal ideas, food, and cooking tips

America has been dealing with crazed individuals our entire history, the only difference in the past fifty years is the consistency and ease these walking time bombs have when they choose the day they will explode. Keep in mind, it was 1966 when Charles Whitman blew what was left of his mind, and climbed the bell tower at the University of Texas (Austin), and shot-killed (16) and wounded (32) people as they went about their day on that school's campus. That was almost 50 years ago!
Had Whitman's outrageous mass murder been a fluke, we could just write it off as a crazed individual (he supposedly had a brain tumor which probably didn't help matters) who blew his mind and was angry at then world. Keep in mind, this act occurred just three years after the Kennedy assassination, and was within a month or so of Richard Speck's brutal killing of eight student nurses in Chicago. Within three years of this mayhem, Charles Manson hit the scene and America was off to the bloody races, and we've been so ever since.
As America melted down in the 1960's, this growing bloodshed took place along with civil unrest which means riots and bombings (of ROTC centers..etc..). Vietnam was surging, and soon became apparent as an obvious mistake. The family unit was beginning to break down, and divorce was on its way to becoming the norm. The drug culture help fuel many as chaos replaced what was, generally speaking, a country of law and order. The 1950's had been pretty stable. As the 1970's rolled on, we had more serial killers make a name for themselves like Ted Bundy, and John Wayne Gacy (aka Pogo the Clown). The Post Office killings surfaced in the 1980's ("goin' postal"). This created the scenario where a worker-fired or whatever, got mad, and took revenge by coming back to work and killing his supervisor (I guess they figured they weren't going to be rehired anyway). Domestic violence was now rampant, and it showed up daily across America usually by a guy beating and/or killing his wife because she wanted to leave: men in America, apparently have a problem with rejection.
If all this wasn't bad enough, school kids wanted to get in the act too, and did so with both barrels blazing. The 1990's was the decade of the child--"the wild child". It appeared to me that, after years of broken homes, neglect, and frankly tens of thousands of idiots having kids they weren't prepared to raise, children felt unloved, and were surrounded by easy to get guns. This toxic recipe was further enhanced by what we all know about grade and high school: kids can be merciless about picking on other kids. nerdy types are made fun of, and God forbid if a child has a real handicap. At some point towards the end of the 1990's, some young teens had enough and in a place called Columbine, decided to do something about it. This incident sparked off copy-cat killer kids, and going to school all of a sudden became a life threatening event. We used to tease our fellow students in the old days, but if I was in school today, I'd be taking the, so-called nerds to lunch...just in case.
So here we are in 2014. This time bomb around the University of California at Santa Barbara, was named Elliot O. Rodger, 22 years old. His twist on this mass killing was to post a Youtube rant outlining why he was angry, and needed to kill those(relatively speaking) who made him an outcast. He killed six, and wounded thirteen. What was weird is the first three he killed, were either roommates or just residents of the apartment complex. He stabbed and killed those young men. I'm not sure why he just didn't shoot them-he had plenty of ammunition. I'm also not sure if the three were together in the same room when this happened. If so-you would think the others could have over taken Rodger, but the whole story hasn't been told yet.
Elliot Rodger obviously had trouble making friends, and was still a virgin (alert to all dads with college age sons who are virgins: if it means getting them a prostitute- do so--asap!). It seems the area police had at least three interactions with Rodgers in the past year. The last one took place at his parents who were worried about their son. He was obviously "acting strange" enough for his parents to call the police. Rodger's mentioned this in his rant, and said if the police had searched his room, they would've seen the guns and ammo. I guess that was mistake number one. The trouble is, Elliot seemed like a "normal kid" when police spoke with him, meaning he was polite and articulate. His parents divorced when he was in the first grade. Elliot Rodger allegedly has Aspergers Disorder which means he had trouble with social interaction, something which wouldn't have helped in making friends. It may not have mattered, other kids involved in school shooting didn't have such disorders, they were just highly upset at the world for being picked on, made fun of, and feeling like outcasts. That's the difference in today's world: upset at the world? go kill people, and then yourself--you'll feel a lot better.
After these events, it's always painful to see a young person's parent crying as they try to make sense out of insanity and scream about the senselessness of our world, where guns are plentiful, and sanity is not. Now any of us can simply be killed because we might be at the wrong place at the wrong time while another outcast goes berserk. It would be impossible to know when this will happen, and getting all the gums and ammo won't be a problem. Elliot Rodger had 400 rounds left in his car after he died: he could have done quite a bit more damage had he wanted to. Don't forget it's always easy to build a bomb since most of us can easily get online and figure that out.It's far too late for gun control. We had our chance for that sometime in the 1960's when all hell was breaking loose. America, in its infinite wisdom chose gun availability-massive and pervasive availability. We've even doubled down on that, as Georgia has shown by making it legal to carry guns in bars. Why should a drunk not be able to handle a gun? The NRA will tell you gun violence has gone down over the past several years, and they would be correct. The only problem is--America had to arm itself in order to bring down gun violence. It's as if Darwin's theory is moving backwards.
There will be more outbursts and gun bursts. There will be more angry kids upset at rejection, and ditto that for men who had his wife or girlfriend leave him. He may even kill his children over that. There will be more disgruntled workers who kill their boss, and some fellow employees. We will be shocked for a day or two. There will also be the proverbial TV interview with the neighbor who will say, "he was such a nice guy", or my favorite, "nothing like this ever happens here". Yes folks, we need to get back to the future and reintroduce the old "Duck and Cover" campaign used so wisely when our government was trying to teach us what to do if and when the atom bomb goes off. Duck and cover! Now it might be when little Tommy or Bobby go off after the endless teasing by school kids. Maybe the disgruntled worker coming back to the office after being fired. It might happen in a restaurant or beauty salon where an angry husband blows through the door looking for his wife who had just told him she is leaving. Remember folks, at the first sign of gunfire--duck and cover! Unhinged Americans are going off from coast to coast.
