Discussion (35) ¬
Oh man Ralph's is just perfect! And I love the Alt-text so much: [] JAYWALKING INTO MY HEART [X] LOITERING IN MY HEART [] REGULAR LOITERING
lol Ralph's the best
I always love the valentine's cards every year.
Too cute. Rick is so creative!
Sergeant Ralph, he's too serious for Valentines XD
I agree; Corporate Greed is a crime, that is why i never buy people gifts. EVER.
Love the alt text! I know the feeling
So which one of these was your favorite of all time so far, Mr. Griffin?
G-shep affection is scheduled and doled out in measured doses.
Wasn't it obvious!? :3
Ralph is so total perfect. Bailey is EPIC. Tiger is Tiger, duh!
Spo scares me
They are all awesome ! but got to say, Ralph´s one is my favorite
Love is just too expensive! Gotta love Ralph's one!
That Ralph one is going to all of my no-fun cop friends.
"Long after they beg you to stop"…
We interrupt this storyline to visit King and Bailey with breaking news!
I like how Bailey and Fox are more distinguishable in the new style. I'm still not sure about it, it's kind of sketchy, but it was sometimes hard to tell them apart except by fur color so that's a plus.
I'm not sure if I get Spo's. He DIDN'T waste his money on cheap valentine gifts, I'm gussing.
Have a happy V-day, all! I'm going to work. :S
I believe it's referring to the sender of the card.
"I didn't spend money to some greedy card-making corporation; instead, I printed out my own. Happy Valentine's Day!
I always love the cards you make!
Punishment for these crimes can lead to a possibility of lifetime imprisonment with my person.
I personally like Bailey's the most. If only my color printer worked…
Ab-so-loute-ly Fabulous!
Some time in the past: Huh…. wonder how King is enjoying his marriage so far.
Present Day: You should be grateful, you got all that from a Crackerjack ring!
Ralph Will have to give me one of those Subpoemas otherwise I won't show up.
Happy valentine Everybody!
Tiger reminds me of Spike and his jewels.
Man i wonder If tiger ever gets full? Also some reason Bailey's is making me go all "Daaaw" over hers. For Spo's i think he's related to the mouse grape ate all those issues ago. As for ralph i think he should take a chill pill. all in all Amazing work.
I'm printing the top-right one and giving it to my mom('cause I love her that much :3 )
Wow. Ralph now ties with King for greatest Valentine's Card. Imagine if Ralph really did have a girlfriend… X3
Bailey's is cute too. Someone said it earlier: Tiger is Tiger… (I never did like the chocolates in those boxes…) and Spo? …Still processing that one…
I'm just excited that I can use Bino's this year.
It has been often said that handmade cards are considered more heartfelt than "professionally made" cards. So Spo is probably saying "because I care" because he cares enough to actually make his own card. But he can't help but talk sarcastically, so he mentions the evil filthy greedy corporation. Did I figure it right, Rick?
Also, I laughed hardest and enjoyed Bailey's comment the most. I imagine the following scene:
*Bailey crouches low to the floor; hiding behind a table. The only visible part of her from King's perspective is from the top half of Bailey's nose on up.*
King: Bailey, I got you a… Um, *nervously* Bailey?
*Bailey's tail twitches, and King starts to back away slowly.*
King: Maybe I should give this to you la…
*Bailey pounces on top of King, who throws his present onto the nearby sofa.*
Bailey: Gotcha!
*Bailey proceeds to start tickling and squeezing King, who tries to escape, but is unable to.*
King: Haha…would you…hehe…cut it…*pant pant*…out…*pant*…already?…Ha ha ha…you've…*wheeze*…already…haha…*tears in the eyes*…got me…*pant*…seven…*pant*…times…*pant*…toda…
*King passes out from exhaustion. Bailey smiles and lovingly carries him to their room. She tucks him in, and as she walks out the bedroom door she looks over her shoulder and smiles.*
Bailey: Goodnight, my puppy pal.
*light clicks off, end scene.*
I think you should make a comic out of that, Rick, if you don't already have one like that in the works. If you don't make it, I definitely will make and submit it for a guest strip.
I'm glad to have caught up with Housepets. The Christmas Strip actually brought me out of my Valentine's Funk. Rick I thank you so much. Please continue the awesome work you do. And please continue to make me have these feels.
Wow, Ralph must REALLY be desperate to force someone to date him.
Though if he prances around with a Spas-12 shotgun or a Benelli M4 shotgun, I'm checking to see if his owner is RvB's Sarge.
Well, at least Tiger is alot nicer than the New Garfield.

|Trying to get my premium membership back!!
Omg. I Live!! well ok sort of. In the past two years i feel truly abysmal that all I have done is a small handful of art that I have posted in DA. While on my desk are no joke Piles of sketches I have done and books that are filled to the brim with ideas have planned out. I truly feel like I have lost touch with myself and my lack wanting to finish project has to end.
I MEAN it this time.
I have stopped doing one of the many things that has been such a constant distraction to my work both professionally and artistically. And have begun once again to work on art for the sake of wanting to finish something =O!
I have also put together that long awaited Commission Page and will be posting it for those wanting request something from me.
Other then that, just dealing with real life obstacles and up coming events that will change my life for the better.
Until then,

Some News on New York's Upcoming Umami Burger
Oozing confidence and wasabi.
Show us a burger lover who's not, at least, intrigued by Umami Burger's New York arrival (opening date still to be determined) and we'll show you a big, fat liar ... or someone who's never been to L.A. Umami's founder, Adam Fleischman, says that even though New York's burger scene is completely oversaturated, Umami will ditch its valet parking and martini bars for Manhattan, and succeed solely "by catering to high expectations of diners with many choices." And avocado. [Bloomberg Business Week]

Gerry Mulligan (featuring Zoot Sims): Come Rain or Come Shine
Come Rain or Come Shine
Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band
Gerry Mulligan and the Concert Jazz Band on Tour / Guest Soloist: Zoot Sims (Verve)
14-piece band led by Gerry Mulligan and featuring Zoot Sims (tenor sax).
Recorded: Santa Monica, CA. October 1, 1960
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
Tenor sax ballads typically feature the lineup most conducive to intimacy, a single horn with rhythm section. Yet here the inveterate swinger Zoot Sims simmers down for a big band ballad as exposed and personal as any quartet. Gerry Mulligan's arrangement reminds us how even the finest gems are enhanced by an exquisite setting. And make no mistake, this is among the finest gems of Zoot's 45-year career. True to the song's title, Sims is alternately cloudy and clear, downcast and uplifting, delicate and robust. Whether it rained or shined, Zoot Sims invariably did the latter.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman

Scottsdale is expanding its vision for a multimillion-dollar Western museum to include a cultural venue after the city failed to fetch any bids on the museum alone.
The city sought proposals this year to build and operate a Western art and history museum on city-owned land south of Main Street at Marshall Way.
No vendors turned in bids to partner on the project. As a result, Scottsdale issued a second request for a broader "cultural park," which includes a cultural venue on the northeastern corner of Second Street and Goldwater Boulevard in addition to the Western museum. The venue would be south and west of the museum, which would remain at its proposed site.
"The idea was to remove some of the restrictions," said Kim Hanna, former project manager. "It's deliberately more open so the proposer has an ability to be more creative and come to us with ideas."
A 2006 study estimated the price tag of the museum at nearly $30 million.
The downtown facility, which has been on Scottsdale's radar for more than a decade, is envisioned as a major attraction to showcase the culture, art and conditions of the West.
Over the years, plans to develop the Western museum fell through. In 2009, a non-profit museum group, the Scottsdale Museum of the West, Inc., reined in plans for the project after the recession took hold.
Scottsdale revived the idea this year. In its newest request, the city is seeking vendors to fund, design, construct, operate and maintain the museum and the venue, described as "a cultural attraction that stands on its own but is complementary to the Western-themed museum."
A public-private partnership is a possibility.
Scottsdale has set aside $7.5 million for the project. The public funding would be subject to council approval.
The non-profit Scottsdale Museum of the West is evaluating the new request for an expanded project, said Mike Fox, chief executive and volunteer director.
In February, its board of directors submitted 41 recommendations on the initial request for proposals, he said.
Fox said the city's response was "uncompromising on any of the fundamental points of interest to the board, potential donors and collectors."
At the time, the organization would "not compromise years of hard work and some notable accomplishments to date," which includes raising several million dollars in pledges, cash and in-kind contributions, he said.
The group "remains committed to pressing forward with its proposed public attraction and public education museum development," he said.
A prebid meeting is 10 a.m. Friday at City Hall, 3939 E. Drinkwater Blvd.
Statements of qualification are due by 10 a.m. July 24.

text: The way that a number of NFL offenses are progressing, the need for a fullback on the roster is minimal, to the extent that some teams don't roster a player that is dedicated to that position alone. However, given the number of teams that have already reached out to recently released Vonta Leach in the short time since his dismissal by the Ravens, it's obvious that there's still an appetite for such a player in various NFL outposts. One of the teams mentioned as being interested in Leach is the Houston Texans, his previous employer; however, they already signed Greg Jones this offseason. Problem? Maybe not.

- What is considered a service?
A purchase is considered a service when a value is added to a product by someone applying effort to or improving the goods. Such as buying oil for your car is a product. Paying someone to put the oil in your card is a service.
- Why is catering considered a service if it's food?
As described above, it is the preparation and delivery of the food that constitutes catering as a service. There is a fine line between a meal in a restaurant and catering. Catering is considered a service based on the delivery of the meal to a location off the premises of the preparer.
- Why do certain vendors have to be overridden and can we make it permanent?
Vendors requiring an override are set up in a category we have restricted based on their Merchant Category Code. We will only allow purchases from these vendor's on an "as needed" basis.
- Why do other documents have to be approved if statement is already approved?
Most forms that need a separate signature are some form of exception approval. We require an authorized approver sign the exception form to indicate their approval of that particular exception.

CIEL Business Management - 1.7.0 version – 15th November 2007
A new store type has been created: Retail stores, in which the management is evaluated at a sales price and the management download uses the "K parameter" that the program calculates and displays. The user can modify it or can continue using the automatically calculated value. Within this store, new types of documents have been created (e.g. PRICE MODIFICATION REPORT) and the existing documents have been modified in the sense of operating to the sales price and highlighting the markup. Many modifications have also been operated on the existing forms in order to obtain the necessary and useful information within the RETAIL activity. Both new-inserted elements and the modifications made within the old formats – records, documents formats – data insertions, reports-prints are presented further on. The changes presented below are highlighted either in the whole application or only on En-Detail-type stores.
In the article record from the DETAIL store: New accounts have been added – markup and non-exigible VAT On the article record, the prices are blocked if the stock is not null (merchandise inputs have not been operated) The sales prices can be modified in the case of a non-null stock only with PRICE MODIFICATION REPORT document A new type of document has been created, PRICE MODIFICATION REPORT, visible only on the En-Detail deposit, in the INTERNAL menu. The report creates an output and an input line for each document line with corresponding price. At validation, the accounting note has a different NDP for each line. In order to optimise the display of the lines and columns in the documents when inserting the data, the maximisation modality of creating the documents has been modified. The maximisation is performed on the entire display regardless the resolution, with displaying the columns in the document. For the input documents in the retail store, the names of the columns have been modified in order to highlight the input price columns (purchase, transfer in other stores) and output price (sales) At input (direct purchases or purchases by transfer), the generated accounting note and the registration lines of the markup (4428 and 378 account) The accounting note of management download in RETAIL store calculates the "K parameter", propose it and requires the confirmation of the accounting note creation using the "K" value.

A bang was heard as the Sith boarding party entered the shipyard, shooting down the Republic soldiers inside. They had entered on seven key spots around the shipyard, each of the ships containing five hundred troopers.
Carsew Adelt stepped into the corridor, Sith Troopers in silver armor following close by, as bodyguards. He was bald, with tribal tatoos etched into the sides of his head, and dressed in black clothes, similar to those of the Jedi, and a black cloak. Further into the corridor the rest of the troops in this party were breaching a door. Carsew walked forward to the red commander. The commander shivered as he approached.
"Report," Carsew said simply.
"We estimate that the techs are hiding inside, with the rest of the soldiers," the commander answered uncertainly. "We are having some trouble getting the door opened though." Carsew looked towards the door. Even with his difficulties with the Force he should be able to get it open. He walked towards it.
"Move!" he shouted and positioned himself in front of the door. Once the troopers had moved out of the way he started charging his push. As he threw his hands forward, his cape and clothes flapping backwards, the door flew open by the Force. Inside was the control room, occupied by Republic techs, and around ten guards. The guards started firing at the Sith troopers, but they were no match for the wave of troops. They were killed within seconds, and now the only thing left was the techs, who sat on the floor, hands on their heads. One of the troopers killed one of them.
"No! Stop you fool!" Carsew shouted at the man, brandishing his lightsaber as he ran over to the trooper. "We will not kill them, we can use these people." Carsew ignited his lightsaber and stabbed the trooper in the heart, killing him instantly. He turned the saber off and clipped it to his belt. He turned to the techs.
"If you want to live, you will join the Sith Empire and help us in taking these ships back to our fleet," he said and waited for one of them to answer. One of the techs jumped up.
"Never! I'll die before I'll join you!" he shouted and ran over to a control panel, blasters firing, but missing him. He punched a button, then he got hit by a blaster. A red light started blinking. Carsew turned to the techs.
"What did he do?!" he shouted.
"He has turned on the self-destruct system. We have to go now!" the tech said, scared of the Sith Lord. "We'll join you, just let us get out of here alive."
((I'll post the continuation when I get back from dinner.))

What an awesome to such an extraordinary man! Definitely a -- because there will never be another Steve Jobs! The world is now at a loss, without his genius!! Steve Jobs -- gone, but not forgotten!

Pioneering artist Judy Chicago, creator of "The Dinner Party", urged far greater opportunities for women artists March 2 at her 75th birthday party and exhibit "Judy Chicago: Circa '75" at Washington's National Museum of Women in the Arts.
What an apt start for Women's History Month.
The famed artist, a key founder of the Feminist Art Movement in the 1970s, rued the "paltry amount of women artists exhibited in museums, given solo exhibitions, and included in major collections" four decades later.
"In 1970, 1.5 percent of art magazine stories were about women artists. Now, astoundingly, it's up to 2.7 percent!" Chicago told the audience. "The amount of women artists in major museum collections was 3 percent then, and now it's 5 percent."
Chicago acknowledged that there "has been some change. There are many more women showing art, many more women in power (*more about that in a moment), but we have to look closely at the statistics."
The feminist artist added, "As long as the Museum of Modern Art is just men's art, we need our own museums -- we need hundreds of our own institutions...until such time as men are willing to give us 50 percent of the space."
The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) is the world's only museum dedicated solely to art by women. Only three others focus on women: The Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, where "The Dinner Party" is a permanent installation; The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe; and The Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America at Harvard's Radcliffe Institute.
Chicago urged, "devise changes in institutions, and make end-runs around them" (**more about that later, too).
The latest of Chicago's 14 books, "Institutional Time: A Critique of Studio Art Education" (Monacelli Press, March 18), is a searing indictment.
These institutions are "inherently biased against women, in curriculum, in art history...," the author-artist-teacher said. "Women students could file a class action suit for fraud."
Chicago appeared at NMWA to celebrate that book's publication as well as the publication of "The Dinner Party: Judy Chicago and the Power of Popular Feminism" (University of Georgia Press) by art historian and author Jane Gerhard.
The renowned work "is history. It's a touchstone of women of women in the 1970s, and feminism in the 1970s," Gerhard said.
When she first saw it, "I was struck by the force of gathering so many women and their history in that one location...It's got such a punch. It made me cry. My son ran off in fear."
Gerhard and Chicago discussed their books and these issues with NMWA director Susan Fisher Sterling.
*Sterling was featured in that day's (March 2) huge "Washington Post" story "The Directors: For these women, museums are no longer built with glass ceilings" about 13 women heading cultural institutions (including four art museums) in this area. But the typical "first female" story focused on work-life balance!
Chicago pointed out that gender alone wasn't the issue, but what the directors did to improve the situation of women artists in the respective museums.
An early, avid champion of the NMWA, Chicago was at the museum to celebrate its current tribute exhibit "Judy Chicago: Circa '75". While bemoaning "No museum in the world would mount a major retrospective of my work -- Instead of that, there's a **national retrospective."
Other exhibits honoring her include:
- The Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America "Judy Chicago: Through the Archives" now through Sept. 25.
- Penn State University began its year-long celebrations in January with "Surveying Judy Chicago: Five Decades" at its Palmer Museum of Art. Chicago will be the keynote speaker April 5 at a free symposium. Penn State houses the Judy Chicago Art Education Collection, one of the most important private collections of archival materials on feminist art education.
- New Mexico Museum of Art, in Santa Fe, "Local Color: Judy Chicago in New Mexico, 1984-2014" June 6-Oct. 12.
- Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, where "The Dinner Party" is a permanent installation. It will host "Chicago in L.A.: Judy Chicago's Early Work 1963-74", April 4-Sept. 28.
Also, Chicago will talk about her life and lengthy artistic career on April 24 at 6:30 P.M. at The Jewish Museum on New York's Fifth Avenue. Her work "Rainbow Pickett" was featured in The Jewish Museum's 1966 "Primary Structures" exhibition. Her lecture is a highlight of the museum's programs related to its current exhibition, "Other Primary Structures".
Chicago is, of course, best-known for her monumental multimedia "The Dinner Party" (1974-1979). A symbolic history of 39 key women in Western civilization, and 999 names of other important women, the work was enormously controversial for years. The epitome of feminist art ("seminal" has no female equivalent, certainly not "hysterical"), now it's regarded as a milestone of 20th century art.
"The Dinner Party" is represented in NMWA's exhibit of 13 Chicago paintings, drawings, sculptures and mixed media works by her test plate for Virginia Woolf.
Chicago said her greatest challenge in preparing "The Dinner Party" was "how to extract the truth about the women through the shroud of history -- the patriarchal veil -- the women were written about mostly through their husbands or sons."
She added that in the "hubris of youth, I thought my paintbrush would break through the continued erasure of women in history -- but we're still in that. It's the failure of institutions."
Chicago said of "The Dinner Party", "It's all old news. I'm done. I achieved my goal. It's permanently housed. Now it's been seen by about two million people.
"I'm glad that 'The Dinner Party' brought so much attention. But for a long time, it blocked out much of my other work...," said the extraordinary artist.
"Go and be well. I carried you, was responsible for you, but now I'll spend the rest of my life on new works, new books -- There's more to be done; I'm still here; and I want to do it," said the multi-talented firebrand.
So, happy, healthy birthday -- and many more.

Grilled Peach Frappe
Rate me!
- Makes: 4 servings
- Prep: 15 mins
- Grill: 8 mins to 10 mins
Grilled Peach Frappe
- Grill peach halves on the rack of an uncovered charcoal grill, directly over medium coals, for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender and lightly browned. Midway through grilling, rotate peaches one-quarter turn to create crosshatch marks, "essential for best flavor," Steve says. (For a gas grill: Preheat grill, then reduce heat to medium. Grill peaches on rack over heat. Cover; grill as above.) Remove from heat; cool. Slip off peach skin, using a peeler if necessary.
- In a blender container, combine peaches and remaining ingredients, except ice. Cover and blend on high for 20 seconds; add ice and blend until smooth. Serve at once in chilled glasses. Top each with a slice or two of fresh peach. Makes 4 cocktails.
From the Test Kitchen
For a nonalcoholic option, omit Southern Comfort®, increase to 3 peaches and add additional water, if needed to reach desired consistency.

The best of my life in travel: From Brian Blessed to Joan Collins
Private planes, voyages of discovery and camping trips, our archive reveals how celebrities prefer to travel
Private planes, voyages of discovery and camping trips, our archive reveals how celebrities prefer to travel
Members of the public will be given a formal role in the choice of Labour's policies, candidates and future leaders under far-reaching reforms to be unveiled today.
Cabinet tensions over the electoral reform referendum burst into the open last night after a senior Liberal Democrat minister challenged the Conservative Party chairman to disown the "scaremongering" and "gutter politics" of the "no" campaign. Chris Huhne tore into its claim – reinforced in an advertising campaign – that a "yes" result in the poll on 5 May over replacing the first-past-the-post system with the alternative vote (AV) would cost Britain £250m.
Despite a varied career encompassing almost six decades of film, television and stage work, Nicholas Courtney will always be remembered for one role above all others.
This vintage satire leaves a sharp taste
The new coalition may have come as a shock to many, but the courtship has been going on for years. Political Editor Jane Merrick reports
For 150 years, British prime ministers were free to concentrate on the statesmanlike pursuit of high-powered diplomacy and the lofty responsibility of running the country, rather than the more mundane concerns of nappy changing and midnight feeds.
At least Clegg knows his voice will be heard when before it would have been drowned out
Nick Clegg told the Liberal Democrats they could make an historic breakthrough at the election – but only if they had the bravery to face up to dire economic problems facing Britain. After a fractious conference marred by dissent over his leadership style, he warned his party yesterday that it would have to take painful decisions in order to be taken seriously by the voters.
The man who predicted a financial crash five years ago says his party is not in the business of forecasting ... but he's tipping Joe Calzaghe to win 'Strictly'
Three years ago, Mark Oaten was a rising star of Liberal Democrat politics. Then the allegations about a male escort hit the news-stands . . .
Tony Blair wanted to do it with John Major but John Major was too coy. William Hague, Michael Howard and Charles Kennedy all wanted to do it with Tony but he said no.

Citing numerous software problems with the automaker's SYNC automotive technology system, the Detroit News reported on Saturday that the Ford Motor Company is planning to dump Microsoft for BlackBerry to power future SYNC systems.
The switch from Microsoft to BlackBerry and its QNX operating system could happen as early as later this year.
Current SYNC system problematic
Commenting on the possible plans for Ford to dump Microsoft for BlackBerry, Automotive News states that Ford has been struggling with in-car technology glitches and has received negative ratings and comments in various auto reliability studies because of the problems.
Ford SYNC technology allows you to talk on the phone, and navigate your music system while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. There are four different versions of SYNC, from a basic hands free phone and music control system, to a navigation system with a large LCD screen with 3D maps and voice-enabled directions. The Ford Motor Company first announced the release of SYNC powered by Microsoft in January 2007.
With hands free mobile and entertainment technology systems becoming one of the top selling points for auto buyers, Ford is looking to address the many problems with the current SYNC system by dumping Microsoft for the BlackBerry owned QNX technology.
A definite software upgrade
QNX Software Systems currently provides embedded systems and automotive technology for many vendors including luxury automobile manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi.
QNX Software Systems is owned by BlackBerry, but is totally independent of the parent company known for their line of wireless handheld devices. The Ottawa-based QNX acquired by BlackBerry in 2010, has been in business for over 30 years.

Isn't that some ancient curse? "May you live in interesting times"? It's true for me. This past year has been filled with interesting happenstances. Many life changes, a serious crisis or two, but it has all been accompanied by the love of my excellent family and the nurturing of a handful of dear friends.
But the year has held some positive experiences as well. Most recently, that meant a trip to Colorado to visit old friends and a bit of family. My Awesome Friend Alan™, who lives in Colorado, took the kids and me to Casa Bonita, which I had only heard about from the South Park episode, despite living within a short distance of it all my years in Boulder. My son, especially, loved it, and their sopapillas were fantastic. Though I can't say as much for most of the rest of the food.
We've also now started our homeschool year, and even though we're only two days in, I think it's going to be a good year. We're doing a few different things this year, and spending more time on history which always makes me happy.
I also hope to do NaNoWriMo again, but I had better get my act together because I have just over two months to plan a story. I've done NaNoWriMo twice before. The first year I came out of it with a decent story, with some major holes to fill in later, but it worked. Last year it was a disaster. My story idea didn't carry me through more than two weeks' worth of writing, and so the second half of the month was merely an exercise in futility. I hope that this year I think up enough of a story to carry me through 30 days and 50,000 words. Who else is doing it this year?

Garmin Nuvifone hands on preview at Communicasia 2008
You've got to hand it to Garmin. They're completely new to the mobile phone business, and yet they've managed to churn out a completely functional touchscreen smartphone/navigation device way ahead of Nokia who still seems happy enough with its sweet line of NokiaBerry's. But Garmin's is still a long way from a finished product, though, so to avoid pressuring them, we'll just say that they're fairing pretty well despite being a newcomer.
The Nuvifone is somewhat a misfit. You know how mobile phones have now evolved to include features of other devices (like integrated GPS functionality, for example), and then turn out to do better than dedicated devices? Garmin takes that concept, but instead transforms a navigation device into a working mobile phone. Thus, the Garmin Nuvifone.
The Garmin Nuvifone follows the trend of current smartphones, which seems to be all about the wide touchscreen display and vast connectivity features. The Garmin Nuvifone, other than having GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA network support, SMS/MMS functions, built-in music and video player, 3 megapixel camera and Wi-Fi connectivity, also doubles as a GPS navigation device. It's hard to say how well the GPS part of the Nuvifone would work in real life, but our hopes are high as it comes from one of the leading manufacturers of GPS devices worldwide.
The Nuvifone really seems to offer a lot of promise, and with more work should be able to land itself a spot in the highly competitive mobile phone market of today. If and when it finally comes out, that is. Head on over to Idnes for the full-on preview and hands on of the Garmin Nuvifone.

Legendary Nuggets coach Doug Moe had served as a consultant for his old squad for a spell when, in 2005, George Karl asked his old friend to take a seat on the bench for the remaining third of that season. "We weren't going to put any serious demands on him other than being a communicator and a guy hanging around helping me understand what goes on in the Denver organization," Karl told Aaron Lopez of Nuggets.com in 2011. George Karl had taken over as coach of the team only a few months prior, on January 27, 2005.
The Nuggets were four games under .500 when Doug Moe accepted his expanded role with the team. They went on to secure the seventh seed in the playoffs, going a stunning 25-4 after the All-Star break. "That run was pretty incredible stuff," Karl said. "One of the best decisions I made was convincing Doug to come back because he kind of unified the staff and the organization. Everybody kind of came together because Doug was part of the crew."
Moe remained "part of the crew" for several more years, as an assistant coach, then as a consultant. He retired for a second time in 2009. During his second tenure with the Nuggets, Moe wasn't always expected to travel with the team. He was given a schedule that jived with his age and his energy level. He was in his middle sixties – no longer a young man.
Today George Karl is 61. He is approaching the age that Doug Moe was when he was consulting for the Nuggets. The old ball coach has survived a battle with prostate cancer that left him seeming older that his years would indicate. It's not hard to see that he's tired. You can sense it during his post-game interviews – especially after a loss like the one he absorbed last night at home to the lowly Washington Wizards. Karl has already suggested that he might lighten own travel schedule, arriving various cities after the team has already participated in walk-throughs, allowing his assistants to work the team out and spend time going over the game plan before he flies in.
Karl is no spring chicken. Maybe the time has come for the team to move him into a role similar to the one Moe played. He could act as a consultant and assistant, remain close to the team, participate in instructing the players and help bring his vision for the Nuggets together while no longer acting as the head coach.
Melvin Hunt, who is in his third season with the Nuggets, could act a surrogate. Hunt had wild success as member of the Cleveland Cavaliers staff before moving to Denver. His Cavs teams made four consecutive appearances in the Eastern Conference semi-finals and reached the finals in 2009. Those seasons pre-dated Lebron James' famous "decision" to leave Cleveland, of course. But Hunt learned a lot about winning nonetheless.
While George Karl seems exhausted and disheartened while speaking with the media, Hunt seems young, confident and self-assured. There's an undeniable contrast between the two coaches, detectable even to a novice viewer. Doesn't it stand to reason that Hunt is better equipped to communicate with players, too? Can Karl's weary, scratchy delivery possibly carry his message anymore?
Any time the question is posed "should George Karl be fired?" the response from his supporters is "who would you replace him with?" Perhaps the answer is Melvin Hunt. And maybe it's a transition that can be made gradually with Karl still an active participant in plotting strategy for the Nuggets. His passion for basketball has clearly never waned, and he remains a top NBA coach in most people's eyes. Still, the Nuggets are never as good as they should be.
Unless Karl would simply refuse a lesser role and threaten to leave to coach another team, coupling him with a younger, more energetic man to assume the head coaching role could be the best thing for Karl and for the Denver Nuggets.
The team could make Hunt's title "Assistant Head Coach" and he could assume a portion of Karl's responsibilities – including facing the media after a tough loss.

Atletico Madrid beat Real Valladolid 3-0 this morning (http://bit.ly/1hlKGJt) while Barcelona beat Rayo Vallecano 6-0 to remain tied atop the La Liga table, with the Catalans ahead on a substantial goal differential. Real Madrid plays Getafe tomorrow and if the Merengues win the three-way tie in Spanish Football's domestic league will continue another week.
Raul Garcia at the 3rd minute, Diego Costa at the 4th and Diego Godin at the 74th sealed the home win for Atletico who needed the victory after a demoralizing start to the month with their loss of the La Liga leadership after one week atop and their exit from the Copa del Rey courtesy of city rivals Real Madrid.
With their upcoming visit to the San Siro to face AC Milan in the Champions League this was an important psychological victory for Los Colchoneros. Milan has not been playing its best football of late and only an 83rd minute, spectacular long-range missile (http://bit.ly/1f55bXI) from Mario Balotelli against Bologna yesterday kept the Rossoneri in 10th place in Seria A.
Atletico came out looking for blood from the get go and never looked back after the first five minutes of the game. Coach Diego Simeone, in the post game press conference said: "...we are staying focused and playing with intensity. My players executed well. It was great. The second goal was all about [Raul] Garcia's vision as a playmaker and Diego's [Costa] finishing touch."
The goals also came fast and furious for Barcelona today at the Camp Nou. Adriano at the 1st, and Lionel Messi at the 35th, gave the Catalans the first half lead, before the second half deluge. Alexis Sanchez at the 52nd, Pedro at the 55th, Messi again at the 67th, and Neymar a the 83rd, sealed the score line. It was a day for Barca to be clicking on all cylinders while Rayo simply could not get out of first gear.
The golazo of the evening was scored by substitute Neymar coming into the latter part of the second half after 28 days of recuperation from his ankle injury (http://bit.ly/1f1wLGT).
Barcelona is preparing for its Champions League game next week at Manchester City and this was the tonic for the Catalans--Messi scoring goals, Neymar back in shape, Carles Puyol seemingly back in shape, and an offense that was simply mesmerizing. Manchester City, meanwhile, is sitting pretty--coming off a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup today (http://bit.ly/1f5HoGY). City are three points behind Chelsea and two behind Arsenal with a game in hand in the Premier League.
Next week's Champions League games, for Atletico and Barcelona, and later Real (against Schalke, February 26), seem to be coming as the three Spanish clubs are in the ascendancy.

Batteries. We buy them at the store, use them up, and throw them away without much thought.

Microsoft has announced that it sold more than 3 million units of the Xbox One from its launch in mid-November until the end of 2013, according to a report today from GameSpot.
In a statement today obtained by the website, Xbox One marketing chief Yusuf Mehdi said that Microsoft pushed out more than 3 million units in its 13 launch markets –– North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and New Zealand.
"Together, we ushered in a new era of games and entertainment with Xbox One," Mehdi said.
In December, Microsoft claimed it had "outpaced" its next-gen counterpart the PlayStation 4 during both consoles' launch month of November, surmounting the 2 million units sold mark early last month.
However, Sony reported that, with its week head start, they had sold a reported 2.1 million PS4 units by early December, a figure that hasn't yet been updated.

The Xbox One news comes as Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer lamented the console's delay in the remaining eight markets.

Two of five 15-year olds hold jobs
May 10, 1999
From 1994 to 1997, nearly two of every five 15-year olds held an "employee" job--defined as an on-going relationship with a particular employer. An additional quarter worked in "freelance" jobs such as babysitting or yard work. All in all, almost two-thirds of 15-year olds participated in some type of work activity.
[Chart data—TXT]
Young men age 15 were more likely to have an employee job than were young women of that age and worked slightly more weeks than female youths (27 and 24 weeks, respectively). Young male employees earned an average of $5.82 (in January 1997 dollars) at employee jobs held while they were 15; young women earned an average of $5.58.
The percent of 15-year-olds among both sexes who worked in employee jobs was notably higher than for 14-year-olds. However, female youths still were more likely to work at a freelance job. While age 15, nearly one-half of females did at least some freelance work, compared with approximately one-third of males.
Data on the employment experience and other characteristics of youths are a product of the National Longitudinal Surveys program. Additional information is available from "Employment Experience and Other Characteristics of Youths: Results from a New Longitudinal Survey," news release USDL 99-110.
