Before we left on the cruise we killed some time at Downtown Disney in Orlando. This was seen in a minivan's back window. You can always tell when you're at a Disney park... people get really, really geeky.
The Lego store; I liked this London display.
Cari and Aurora.
I tried on a Mad Hatter hat in a store.
I got a kick out of these smart Disney women. What I really like about Disney is the creative energy put into everything they do. Lots to look at.
We have all wondered.
Gangsta Mickey tee-shirt. Would Walt have approved? Probably not.
I didn't understand these odd vinyl "collectable" figures.
We left Orlando and drove to Port Canaveral to embark. As this photo suggests, this was not fun. Also as this photo suggests, the average age of the cruise participant was in the 60's.
Our cruise vessel, the good ship Norwegian Sun. Read about her here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Sun - we wanted a somewhat smaller cruise ship. This one had about 1,900 passengers. Top speed: 23 knots.
A shot of the Sun as we boarded.
The ship's incredibly long corridors reminded me of the Kubrick horror movie "The Shining," where the kid rides the Big Wheel down the hallways.
Our stateroom; it was quite nice. The only problem was a crying toddler in the stateroom next door who awoke at 4 AM and 6 AM every morning and awoke us. Jamming cotton in my ears didn't help - so we changed staterooms.
Thinking about taking a small crying child on a cruise? Do yourself and your fellow passengers a favor - DON'T.
Our stateroom looking towards the balcony, which we were very happy to have. One of the major plusses in this trip was simply sitting out on the balcony and watching the sea and landscape pass by - very pleasant. Tip to those thinking of going on a cruise: Get a balcony stateroom. It's worth the added expense!
We toured around.
Here we are on the forward observation deck. I am wearing my boat shirt, which is appropriate at last. The ship is just north of Cuba. (You can barely see the skyline of Havana behind me.) We liked this area, and watched several sunsets from here.
Havana, Cuba. Maybe when Castro dies this place will return to sanity and become a major tourism destination for Americans...
Another shot of the upper deck.
One of the neat ship's things the hard-working stateroom crews do is creative towel folding.
We found this towel seal on our bed one evening.
There was a casino on deck and I dropped a couple of bucks on nickel slots. These things have become impossible to understand. Slot machines were more fun when I was a kid, when they only had three rolllers and were far simpler.
One of our favorite television stations showed ship's information.
I also appreciated the maps showing where we were in the world.
It seemed that most of the crew were Filipinos. These were the "Washy-washy-happy-happy" girls who sprayed everyone's hands with sanitizer when entering the eating areas. I suppose this kept down colds and flus, etc. They became celebrities.
We spent a lot of time doing this.
When we changed staterooms to get away from the crying toddler we wound up next to a couple also from Virginia! (You can see my reflection at left...)
One of the fascinations of the sea were all the shades of blue the ship left in its wake.
The sunsets were neat, too. Cari and I watched a number of these. I swear I have a Mormon Tabernacle Lp with a scene like this on the cover...
One of the sunsets.
It was also fascinating to watch the pool water slosh about in heavier seas. Here it collects in the deep end...
...and here it slams into the shallow end, spraying the people in the Jacuzzis. What fun to watch! It should be noted that there were some pretty horrible sights on the pool deck: Europeans in way too tight and small swim suits (one guy looked like he had an Ace bandage wrapped around himself), really obese people and horrible tattoos. The winner of the worst tattoo award was a young guy who had folded angel wings on his back. It looked like he slid across an inky platen.
There was a jewelry store on board the ship - they really push the jewelry sales... Cari bought some earrings.
The ship offered bobble heads, but we passed.
We woke up and looked out the balcony and this was our first view of our first port: Cozumel, Mexico. Do not cross the red line!
Here's the Cozumel shore from the ship's aft end, where we had breakfast. That's one big flag! We were pondering whether or not we wanted to go on a snorkeling expedition, but decided not to. As it turned out, this wasn't a bad thing. One fellow passenger we spoke to thought he encounted raw sewage (or Gulf oil spill oil) swimming near the lighthouse. When he got back to the ship he wiped hand sanitizer all over himself!
On the Cozumel pier.
As it was a VW I couldn't resist.
We saw a lot of luche libre wrestling masks - I own an El Santo one that a friend gave me some years ago.
I like this shot on the Cozumel beach: Cari, an enormous Mexican flag and our ship.
A sculpture on the beach. We rested in the shade of this little area for a time and I bought Cari some Evian water from a market across the street. I think we were both somewhat dehydrated. We were panhandled by a Mexican drunk.
This store was great! It wasn't at all like the Mexican stuff you see in, say, a Pier One Imports. This place represented full out Mexican design and culture - a fascinating store. Almost like an art museum.
Cari shops in the Five Suns.
The Five Suns complex also has a great restaurant where we had lunch - Pancho's Backyard. Cari loved her taquitos. I liked the shady backyard design. A very nice experience.
The musicians in Pancho's Backyard.
We bought this terra cotta sun in the Five Suns.
The plaque that went with the sun we bought.
The skeleton display - lots of this here...
After shopping and eating at Cozumel we made our way back to the ship. I was struck by this image...
As we left each port, people hung out of their balconies and rubbernecked. I was no exception.
The next stop was Santo Tomas de Castilla, Guatemala. Here's the approach in the bay.
Cari pointed out some flying fish by the ship, and I managed to get them in flight.
The highlands near Santo Tomas. Our feet.
More highlands. It looked like the Vietnamese highlands as seen on episodes of "Tour of Duty."
Our first view of the pier was not promising. Looked pretty industrial.
It got more industrial... we docked near a shipyard. The NCL people said that this was a "primitive" port, and they were right!
I was told that Dole, Del Monte and Chiquita ship produce out from here. As it turned out, watching the shipping operations here was interesting. Those big yellow vehicles can stack the modules atop one another. This went on without stopping.
I call this shot "McHale's Navy."
Tie the Sun up to the pier...
Our welcoming committee. The Guatemalans seemed very happy to see us arrive, and gave us a nice send off with dancers and musicians when we left.
We made our way down the pier to a warehouse where a tourism center was located, and shopped there. It was very hot and so we decided to not go on any inland excusions - none really appealed to us. But we liked the musicians. This lot played an unforgettable version of "the Stars and Stripes Forever!"
Cari looks a little wiped out - as she was.
The local beer here is Gallo, $1 a bottle. A lot of it was purchased by Norwegian Sun passengers... I'm told it was "okay."
Shopping. Very colorful goods.
We bought a Christmasy green and red runner from this woman. By the way, the southern end of the warehouse is the farthest south I have ever traveled on the globe...
There were some jade Mayan artifact displays. Santo Tomas is known for its jade.
Some drummers and dancers appeared - they were quite fun to watch. Reminded me of a section of the "It's a Small World" ride at Disneyland... I am *such* a provincial Southern Californian...
I kept seeing this Santa Claus-looking Norwegian Sun passenger. I wanted to get my photo taken with him, but it never happened.
Some children did some dances, too.
The children dancers. That little kid in black at front stole the show as a monkey.
The next stop was Belize City, Belize (formerly British Honduras). As the pier was too shallow for the Sun, we were tendered ashore on boats. The Sun was anchored five miles away. The trip out was quite fun.
Belize City. We decided to go on the Altun-Ha Mayan temple expedition here. The weather became cloudy, threatening rain.
On the bus to Altun-Ha. I got a kick out of this street sign.
Some of the homes were... well... unusual.
An iguana hanging out on a wall. Lots of 'em here. And yes, Belizians eat them.
I got a kick out of this patch.
Local flora.
Plaque at the entrance of the ruins site.
Temple at Altun-Ha. You're allowed to climb these.
I liked this temple. Looks very Mayan. There were actually some tourists standing around, but I Photoshopped them out...
Here. See? Tourists. And Cari.
Lynette, our pleasant and cheerful tour guide. She sang us the Belizian national anthem on the bus.
Her associate Evette. Lynette and Evette - cool!
There were some pretty interesting trees on the site, too. This is a banyan tree.
A Mayan face seen in the construction.
It started to rain; I'm glad I brought the umbrella for Cari. I also like the red and green Christmas seasonal motif...
The highest temple; we climbed this one.
The site seen from atop the highest temple.
The temples, by the way, were built circa 200 - 900 AD. Read about the site here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altun_Ha
Cari and I atop the highest temple.
I Am Wesley the Lamanite! (That's an inside joke for my fellow Mormons...)
I Am Still Wesley the Lamanite!
Back in Belize City we had lunch at a place called the Wet Lizard - owned by a gal from Georgia! I had many good Cokes while on this cruise, by the way. Made with real sugar, not high fructose corn syrup...
For a $1 donation to a local charity you can write your name to commemorate your visit. "Fools' names and fools' faces are often seen in public places," as Dad used to say.
The Wet Lizard.
I got a kick out of this Breitling street clock.
The next stop - after a day at sea - was Key West, Florida. Here's the pier (on a Navy base) at sunrise.
We took a tour trolley. I wanted to ride the little conch trains, but couldn't - so that was a minor disappointment. This is a gate that is open only for U.S. Presidents - so we were told.
Pirates Well.
This is the Federal building - finished with crushed coral. Or shell. I forget which.
I liked this shot...
A wharf scene.
This unassuming little white building is actually Jimmy Buffett's recording studio.
Here's Kermit, the chef, showing a pie to the trolley.
The oldest house on Key West, c. 1829.
Bahama Village Market.
Key West Lighthouse.
Key West is closer to Cuba (90 miles) than mainland Florida, so here's a monument to the Father of Cuba.
The southernmost point in the continential United States is on Key West.
...and here's the southernmost Menorah. I don't know why.
Highway 1, which runs from Maine to Florida, begins and ends on Key West. On one side of the street is this, Mile 0.
Here's the other side of the street, where 1 begins.
Key West cemetery. Because the place is three feet under sea level and floods, the graves have to be put above ground, as in New Orleans. Otherwise, atrocities.
Sponge Man!
Lots of roosters walking about in Key West. I saw some crossing the road. I didn't ask why.
I had a slice of real authentic Key Lime pie here. You know what? Cari's is much better!
This is the building where the Sloppy Joe was invented. Key West has many such claims to fame.
Art painted on a piece of roofing, which I found interesting.
Cari found this - women wearing nothing but body paint - interesting.
Shopping in Key West. Cari bought some shells.
Back on board the ship... we didn't have a long enough visit to Key West.
The shows on board the ship were pretty good. On the last night the crew came out on stage. The fellow in front third from left is Ronny Borg, the ship's captain. (Yes, we had a captain named Borg. Resistance was futile.)
Disembarking from the ship was far faster and more pleasant than getting on it was!
Back in Downtown Disney, Cari dances with the Fantasia brooms.
Another example of Disney creativity. That's a topiary Mickey Mouse.
We visited several Disney resort hotels, just to check them out. She's on the cell phone to our daughter in the Wilderness Lodge lobby, where we had lunch before driving to the airport for the trip home.
...and here's what Virginia looked like when we got back home. Brown and cold (35 degrees and windy). But it was very nice to visit the Caribbean in November and December! I'd like to do it again!

|ESPN.com: 2012
|[Print without images]
The four players we are going to talk about have a couple things in common. First, they are vitally important to your fantasy hockey season. And second, we're discussing them because of bad news (concussion) or a troubling trend (extended drought). If you want to use a weak allegory to tie them all together: The fantasy hockey Santa Claus would be bringing them all a lump of coal. Or in central European countries they would be visited by Krampus.
Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins: We start our discussion of troubled players with Crosby. Those who drafted him were on such a high after he potted 12 points in eight games and looked like he never missed almost a year of hockey. Then the other shoe dropped. It was announced he would miss a couple of games after colliding with teammate Chris Kunitz. Then it was announced he did get his head rattled again but had passed the concussion tests and would be back after just two games. Then it was announced we was out indefinitely with concussion-like symptoms. Sigh. He has now missed five games with headaches and was placed on the injured reserve this weekend. Even though he is now eligible to come off the IR any time, we have to assume he is going to be out a few more games for the Penguins to have placed him on the list. Even being optimistic, we can hope he misses five more games and returns to the club. For fantasy hockey purposes, he can single-handedly carry your team when healthy, so it is always better to bet optimistically in such a case. Better to do your best to manage your team without Crosby and get a boost from his return than to trade him away for limited value and watch him come back strong on an opponent's team. Be patient with Crosby and be prudent with your roster in the meantime.
Claude Giroux, Philadelphia Flyers: Like Crosby, Giroux is out indefinitely with a concussion. Like Crosby, he suffered the injury from a collision with a teammate. Like Crosby, the impact to your fantasy hockey team is significant. In fact, only Crosby has more points per game than Giroux this season. Giroux has missed three games with the injury, and while he was practicing with his teammates this weekend, he was not cleared for contact. Seeing him on the ice was a good sign, to be sure. But remember that Crosby was practicing with the team for quite some time with a no-contact jersey before he finally made his season debut. Just like Crosby, we don't know how long Giroux will be out of action. There does appear to be more optimism from the team surrounding his return. That is not a scientific way of calculating a return from a concussion, but it makes you want to pick the under when someone bets Giroux will miss 10 games. The same logical rule applies when you are talking about a player who carries your fantasy team when healthy: Don't panic, make good roster decisions in the interim and wait for his return optimistically. Really, what else can you do? Trade the NHL's leading scorer for pennies on the dollar?
Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals: We now move from concussions to general weak performance. Talking about Ovechkin's bad season feels taboo. He's Ovechkin, for crying out loud. In six previous seasons he has never finished with fewer than a point per game or fewer than 30 goals. Only twice has he finished with fewer than 100 points and fewer than 50 goals. This guy is a superstar. So why is he on pace for 26 goals and 58 points? Two words: shooting percentage. Before last season, the only time Ovechkin has finished much below a 12 percent shooting percentage was the campaign in which he fired a modern-era record 528 shots. Then last season, when his fantasy value started to slip, Ovechkin finished with an 8.7 shooting percentage. We all wrote it off as a bad season under a team that was trying to find a new defensive identity. But here we are more than 30 games into this season, and Ovechkin has just 10 goals and an 8.5 shooting percentage.
So what is the deal? Well, check this out: All-Star players exhibit some kind of positive statistical split in wins versus losses; Ovie's is perhaps wider than most. Since 2008-09 (well before his numbers started dropping), Ovechkin has an 82-game average in wins with 61 goals, 71 assists, plus-63 and a 14.8 shooting percentage. That covers 158 wins this season and the three previous seasons. During that same time frame, in 103 losses, Ovechkin's 82-game average is 24 goals, 33 assists, minus-43 and a 5.1 shooting percentage. Perhaps more troubling is that the number of Capitals' wins appears to be shrinking this season. Pointing this out does lead into a chicken or egg circular argument about what the problem might be with Ovechkin, but I wanted to add that split to the ongoing debate about his fantasy value. For what it's worth, in 16 wins this season for the Capitals, Ovechkin's 82-game average is 31 goals, 56 assists, plus-25 and a 10.3 shooting percentage.
If the Capitals would just win more games, we wouldn't have to have this huge debate about Ovechkin's value (though the goals are still uncomfortably low). Did I mention Ovechkin apparently doesn't like playing at home, either? In 16 games at the Verizon Center, he has one goal in 51 shots (a 2.0 shooting percentage). What should you do with Ovechkin? Hold him. There is still hope that coach Dale Hunter gets the offense working under his systems soon. He recently put Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom back with Alexander Semin on the top line. Here's hoping it goes somewhere. If you can still pull a consistent top-30 forward or someone in the top-50 with additional upside, it would be hard not to pull the trigger. This is, after all, a slump that dates back to the beginning of last season.
Anze Kopitar, Los Angeles Kings: Kopitar is to repeat last season's numbers, but that isn't good enough for a guy that was supposed to take another step forward this season. With a top-six on paper that could rival any team in the NHL, the Kings and Kopitar were supposed to set new highs for offense in his sixth season with the team. After October, he was on pace for a 104-point season. He slowed down a bit in November but was still on pace to finish with 82 points. Now eight games into December, his pace is down to 74 points. Can we blame Mike Richards' concussion for the downfall? Kopitar has zero goals since Richards was injured, but Kopitar's last multipoint game was six games before Richards was hurt. It also probably hurts that Jack Johnson and Drew Doughty finished last season with 42 and 40 points, respectively, but are on pace for 30 and 25 points this season.
So what does new coach Darryl Sutter bring to the table? A cursory look at the last star players he coached is actually quite concerning. The season before Sutter took over the Calgary Flames, Jarome Iginla had 96 points. Then in three seasons under Sutter's tutelage, Iginla scored 67, 73 and 67 points, respectively. Then in the two seasons immediately following Sutter stepped away from coaching duties, Iginla had 94 and 98 points, respectively. See the downturn in offense? Sutter is a defensive coach, even more so than Terry Murray. This probably doesn't bode well for a team that needs to score more goals, not prevent them. Unless Sutter has reinvented his plan of attack after 11 years of coaching and five years away from being behind the bench, there is no reason to be optimistic about the scoring power of the Kings. They might start winning some games, but they will remain low-scoring if Sutter has his way. Kopitar and all other Kings have to drop in the rankings until Sutter can prove otherwise.

Daniel Alfredsson, Ottawa Senators (debuts at No. 99): Alfie had already slowly started to increase his scoring in recent weeks to make the case for a pickup in fantasy leagues. Then Milan Michalek suffered a concussion (how many times have I said concussion in this column now?), opening a spot on the top line with Jason Spezza. In two games back on a line with Spezza, Alfredsson has five points. Obviously, this connection from the past still has some spark to it. Since Michalek's injury is a concussion, meaning at least a few weeks off, Alfredsson should have some time to solidify his role and remind everyone about the type of player he can be. Even once Michalek returns, Alfie should have done enough damage to keep his spot going forward.
Tim Connolly, Toronto Maple Leafs (down 16 spots): All right. Enough is enough. Connolly has been healthy since Nov. 17. We thought it would just be a matter of time before he was lined back up with Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul on the top line. Now 14 games and a month later, Connolly is on the Leafs' third line. Since Mikhail Grabovski returned from injury as second-line center, Connolly's production is down to three goals and one assist in nine games, with one of those goals coming during another game Grabovski missed. So long as Tyler Bozak remains as a top-line center, Connolly will have little to no fantasy value. Bozak is even sticking with Kessel and Lupul on the power play.Jeff Skinner, Carolina Hurricanes (down 15 spots): It's been revealed that Skinner's flu was actually a -- you guessed it -- concussion. Factor in Skinner's youth and the recent spotlight on head injuries, and you have to suspect the Canes will not be rushing him back into action. For now, his ranking slips, assuming he misses a total of 10 games. If that changes one way or the other, we will adjust. As you can see, Skinner is a top fantasy option even with 10 games away.
Mikael Samuelsson, Florida Panthers: Five games into his new role with the Panthers, Samuelsson has found his groove on the second line with Shawn Matthias and Sean Bergenheim. With this pair of Seans/Shawns, four goals have been produced in the Panthers' past two games, including one of the power play (where Bergenheim is replaced by Tomas Kopecky). The bottom line here is that Samuelsson is showing indications of actually providing the Panthers with something they've been missing all season: a second scoring line. Kris Versteeg, Tomas Fleischmann and Stephen Weiss have a combined 39 goals. All other Panthers forwards combine for 32. Not only can Samuelsson, Bergenheim and Matthias start to offer some mild fantasy value, but they might start taking even more defensive pressure away from the Panthers' already ridiculous top line.
Adam Henrique, New Jersey Devils: We are coming to a pivotal point in the season that will be make or break his fantasy value. Two games into Travis Zajac's return to the ice, and Henrique is still shining as the Devils' top centerman. In fact, Henrique was there to see his two linemates, Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise, pot eight points in those two games, while Zajac watched from the third line. Henrique has been all the Devils could have asked for from a rookie after taking over center between Kovalchuk and Parise. He has 24 points in 23 games in the role. But Zajac has a long and storied history alongside Parise. Certainly there is no reason to make a change right now while Zajac is still skating the rust off, but what happens when Zajac has no rust left? Henrique should be in the top 100 on merit of his production, but until this Zajac issue is settled after a few games, we have to still wait to see.
Mason Raymond, Vancouver Canucks: The window on David Booth's injury should leave plenty of time for Raymond to make the Canucks forget they have an extra top-six asset. Since making his season debut on the second line with Ryan Kesler and even filling in on the top line for a game, Raymond has six points in seven games. Raymond has a goal scorer's touch and speed to burn. Combine that with a centerman like Kesler, and the results are often positive. A 30-goal pace might not be too much to ask for. At the very least, you have another four weeks to enjoy his production before Booth returns, so there is no excuse not to give him a look.
Rich Peverley, Boston Bruins: Already scoring at a ridiculous pace for a third-line winger, Peverley now has the added benefit of being the fourth forward on the Bruins' top power-play unit. He notched two assists in that role Saturday. Playing with Milan Lucic, David Krejci, Nathan Horton and Zdeno Chara will certainly help in producing some valuable power-play points. But even while he isn't producing on the man advantage, Peverley is a plus-11 with his line and has four non-power-play points in the past three games.
Jamie McGinn, San Jose Sharks: Being Martin Havlat's linemate at even strength has helped McGinn produce six points in the past nine games. Make that eight points in nine games if you add in the two power-play points McGinn earned on a unit with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski in the past three contests. This regular bottom-six forward has more skills than he has flashed in his NHL tenure. If the Sharks continue to scratch the surface they may find some value that can be passed on to fantasy owners. Keep an eye on McGinn and his power-play time.
• It's starting to get difficult to ignore Todd Bertuzzi's slow yet steady production for the Detroit Red Wings lately. He has had a positive plus/minus in 10 of the past 13 games and zero minus ratings in any of those contests. He has a point in nine of those 13 games. Seriously, Big Bert is worth an add to your roster as long as he keeps playing with Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen. And there is no reason to think he won't.
• David Perron has points in six of seven games since returning from a long concussion hiatus. He has seven points in those seven games and is getting significant power-play time. He should be on your roster if you have room to add someone.
• Niklas Hagman, as speculated, has been given a trial with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry on the Anaheim Ducks' top line and top power-play unit. He has five points in four games and is definitely worth a speculative look, given the fantasy history of his new linemates.
•Though he has little to show for it yet, Marcus Kruger is in a great position to start earning mild value with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Swedish rookie has been placed between Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp at even strength and on the team's secondary power-play unit. Three points in four games could be an indicator that he is primed for some scoring.
• The Kings' interim head coach John Stevens likes veterans, and that preference has been shown since he promoted Jarret Stoll to fill in for Mike Richards on the second line. The Los Angeles Kings are not exactly a dynamic offensive force lately, but playing with Dustin Penner and Justin Williams has the potential for a few points. The question is whether Darryl Sutter continues to use Stoll in that capacity once he takes over head-coaching duties this week.

My least favorite thing to do at the airport: stripping down for airport security. One of my favorite things to do: surf the magazine racks at the newsstand to find a good magazine that catches my fancy. This time it was Food & Wine (March 2012) with the catchy title "Healthiest New Ingredients" and a mouth-watering picture of gluten-free pancakes smothered in raspberry and peach syrup (coming soon!).
I landed on this beet recipe partly because I wanted to recreate the beautiful picture, and partly because the herbs conjured up memories of cooking days in Paris — tarragon, chives, and shallots. Delicate and uncommon ingredients in America, but worth a try and a culinary awakening!
I hope you enjoy eating your good-for-you colorful beets with this bright vinaigrette. Add beets to your weight-loss diet! The antioxidants and low-calorie benefits are just a few of the benefits.

Leahy: Comey's approval of waterboarding a concernThe Associated Press | July 09,2013MONTPELIER - Sen. Patrick Leahy says he'll have some tough questions for President Barack Obama's nominee to be the next head of the FBI.
The Vermont Democrat chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is reviewing James Comey's nomination to replace Robert Mueller as the bureau's director.
Leahy says he's concerned that while serving as a deputy attorney general in the Bush administration, Comey approved a legal memo that authorized the use of waterboarding and other techniques recognized as torture under domestic and international law.
Leahy says he also wants to find out what Comey sees as the limits of government electronic surveillance programs and to get his thoughts on the government's collection of journalists' phone records.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

Garrett to Remain Cowboys Coach After Finishing 5-3
Jason Garrett will return as coach of the Dallas Cowboys next season after leading them to a 5-3 record as the replacement for the fired Wade Phillips.
Garrett, 44, spent 3 1/2 seasons as offensive coordinator in Dallas. He turned down a head coaching offer from the Baltimore Ravens and became the National Football League's highest-paid assistant at $3.5 million a year, according to ESPN.
After the Cowboys started 1-7, owner Jerry Jones fired Phillips and promoted Garrett on an interim basis. Garrett won his first two games, against the New York Giants and Detroit Lions, and the team finished 6-10, tied for last in the National Football Conference East.
"While the 2010 season did not play out the way any of us would have liked, it did give us the opportunity to evaluate Jason Garrett under pressure," Jones said today in a press conference. "He passed the test. He has my respect."
Under Garrett, the Cowboys averaged 29.1 points a game, more than a touchdown improvement on the 20.1 points under Phillips. The Cowboys had the worst scoring defense in the NFC when Phillips was fired and it remained the worst at the end of the season. Dallas allowed 27.2 points a game this year, its highest average in more than 20 seasons.
Jones said at the time of the promotion that Garrett was a part of the Cowboys' long-term thinking and that he thought the former offensive coordinator had the ability to change the culture in the locker room.
Playing Career
A graduate of Princeton University in 1989, Garrett holds the Ivy League record with a 66.5 career completion percentage. Garrett played eight NFL seasons as a quarterback with the Cowboys and Giants.
"I was fortunate to be on team here in the 90s that went to the top of the National Football League and I understand how those teams played," Garrett said in a press conference. "I like to refer to it as the 'Cowboy Way.'"
He is the second interim head coach to get the job full-time this offseason. On Jan. 3, the Minnesota Vikings hired Leslie Frazier after he posted a 3-3 record as a midseason replacement for Brad Childress.

Their a bunch of dick's!
I knew I hated these smug little bookish bastards. This seals it for me.
Signage isn't literature or letters or technical writing - there's a special art to communicating effectively on a sign, and you can't always apply Chicago or AP standards to best do that.
Now as a designer, I shall reserve the right to rearrange parts of their faces I don't find visually pleasing.
"Emense" shouldn't communicate effectively to anyone except the illiterate.
What I'm more confused about is how you justify $3,035 for what was merely a moved apostrophe. How's that work out???
I hate homogenizers (no offense, gillian)
Signage may not be literature but that's no excuse for obvious, simple grammatical errors. It's not a matter of aesthetics.
Damn! Everyone hates copy editors!
#3 - they didn't fix THAT typo. As for the fine, that may be just the charge for defacing federal property. Even these little over-achievers should know better than to deface a 60 year old, hand-painted sign.
Oddly, the TEAL website only contains two lines of text. One is supposedly a headline and not worth nitpicking. The other is a complete sentence without a closing period, and they didn't capitalize 2 of 4 letters of a proper noun. And really, "so what?" Exactly - if that were a physical sign I wouldn't bother defacing it, because I'm not an asshole (to signs).
Busybodies fucking with stuff that doesn't belong to them. And their own organization's name is hardly a beacon of sense. "Typo Eradication Advancement League" is further from good usage than "Peach's $1" ever could be.
Here's the text from http://www.jeffdeck.com/teal -
Typo Eradication Advancement League
Statement on the signage of our National Parks and public lands to come
> The other is a complete sentence without a
> closing period, and they didn't capitalize > 2 of 4 letters of a proper noun.
1. Where are these uncapitalized "2 of 4 letters of a proper noun"?
2. You think this is "a complete sentence"? "Statement on the signage of our National Parks and public lands to come"
I noticed that claim in the AP article too.
(as far as your sentiment about "so what?", I vaguely agree, though...)
These guys are assholes without even the redeeming quality of knowing what the fuck they are doing.
#9 - National Parks and Public Lands. If there's a capital N and P, there should be a capital P and L, because you're talking about a specific management agency. It's possible you could mean that in a broad sense, but it'd be an unlikely combination of words. Best part is, I don't really care if I'm wrong.
It's the same logic TEAL might use to deface THELMAS' CAFE sign - it's more likely there is a proprietor named Thelma and the apostrophe should be moved in, but it's possible it's run by the Thelmas family. It's not really any of their business.
Beside my occupation being graphic design, which means the typo-catching section of my brain is pretty dull, I also spend a lot of time on the road. (4,500+ miles this summer so far) I love getting out to the country where I can stop seeing giant corporate roadside monstrosities and start enjoying local food shacks and town grocery stores smaller than my apartment - that's were these typos tend to live, and those might also be examples of some of the least corrupted and cynical artistic endeavors you ever get to see anymore.
But fuck it, why not just make interstate highway signs sentence case, with commas if necessary. That would be fun to navigate.
These guys are illiterate, soulless anuses. Dougsf is exactly right on all counts.
It's funny that they're paying to fix the sign... I wonder if the finished version will have correct spelling and punctuation?
If the sign is 60+ years old and hand painted, it has ceased being a mere sign imparting information and ought to be considered well on its way to becoming a legitimate piece of folk art, and should not be fucked with.
If the assholes just HAD to "fix" it, they ought to have done so by some easily reversible manner, such as with tape. But using permanent markers and Wite Out? That's just vandalism.
Signspotting and Signspotting 2 are two of the funniest books I've ever seen. They would be full of blank pages if not for the misspellings, punctuation errors, awkward translations and other signage grammar faux-pases (faux pas's, faux pas', faux pa's)...how exactly do you make the term "faux pas" into a plural?
@15, you don't do it with an apostrophe.
"If it's not yours, don't touch it." A lesson learned in kindergarten.
@16: Remind me to explain the concept of a joke to you some time.
I agree they should not have messed with a 60-year-old handwritten sign, but you're all assuming they knew that's what it was. If they did not, then they were just correcting a sign the way they always do, not knowing it had historical value for itself. And as for $3,000 to repair it: that could just be the standard fine, or it could be the cost for restoring the sign to its original, poorly punctuated self. (My heart goes out to them, though. There's a building I pass by everday on my way to work with their address spelled out on the awning, "Twenty One Hundred". Problem is, that means their address is 20100. Their actual address is 2100 so they need a hyphen, "Twenty-One Hundred". It kills me every time I see it. I would love to find out how much it would cost to buy a hyphen in their special lettering and affix it to their awning and then offer to pay for it for 'em.)

They don't need to pass anything back to the host's type-system for this to break things. Especially in the case where one type is being aliased to another in the host, and therefore they inherit this implicit aliasing. (ie they cannot refer to the type 'character', in this particular example, since all references to 'character' turn into 'base-char', which you can imagine might cause problems for defknowns, etc which want to know about functions deal with 'character') >>You are welcome to look at the hacks to get around it which are in the >>sbcl-0.6.13-unicode patch. >> > >Right. > >I grepped for "defknown" in the sbcl-0.7.0-unicode.p0 patch, and >didn't get any immediate insight. > No, sbcl-0.6.13 is not sbcl-0.7.0. The sbcl-0.7.0-unicode version avoids all of this garbage by using the sbcl-0.6.13-unicode to bootstrap from. As the sbcl-0.6.13 provides the correct host-level type-structure this problem is not present in the sbcl-0.7.0 patch. >Perhaps this is a blind spot of mine, where I've been able to overlook >a rat's nest of dependency bugs because the xc hosts I've worked with >have always been too similar to the target I'm creating.

Extracted from sbcl-0.6.13/src/compiler/fndb.lisp, and cut and pasted once again. Here is a simple english summary of what this horrible code does: (a) change the system types into user types so that we can redefine them. (b) destroy the cached type information for 'character', which will cause it to split off from base-char. (c) redefine a bunch of types to include 'string' explicitly, so that it expands into the new definitions, in the case of sequence this is wrong, but there was probably some reason to do it at the time.

- Ouverture (Suite) in D minor, FWV K:d5
- Passio Jesu Christe, FWV F:1 "Brockes-Passion"
Johann Friedrich Fasch: Passio Jesu Christiby Mary Terey-Smith
It has been a difficult task for musicologists to get a grip on Johann Friedrich Fasch. Although based in Zerbst for most of his long life -- he was born three years after Handel and died one year before -- Fasch's voluminous work is scattered throughout the archives of Europe and dedicated diligence has been required to make sense of its scope. To most listeners who are aware of Fasch at all, he is merely the composer whose trumpet concerto filled out the Erato disc featuring Jean-François Paillard's popular recording of Pachelbel's "Canon in D." Fasch is a far more interesting composer than just that would imply. A one-time student of Johann Kuhnau also strongly influenced by Georg Philipp Telemann, Fasch often thought outside the Baroque box and had a uniquely individual style that emphasized variety. In reference to his sacred vocal music, a genre in which Fasch produced hundreds of works, one usually reads "most of it is lost." One that is not is his "Brockes-Passion, Passio Jesu Christi FWV F:1," wjoc is the featured work on Naxos' Fasch: Passio Jesu Christi. This Hungarian recording features a fine rank of vocal soloists, including the redoubtable Maria Zádori, the Schola Cantorum Budapestiensis, and "Capella Savaria" under the direction of Mary Térey-Smith. The "Overture (Suite) in D minor" that opens the disc is one of 87 that survive by Fasch, and one aspect of it that is immediately apparent is how little it sounds like Telemann -- it is cool, restrained, easygoing, and decidedly pre-classical in its approach. What is more surprising is that it is thought to date from the late 1720s and may have been commissioned for the court in Dresden -- a little ahead of the advent of classical style even in Italy. Fasch's penchant for being ahead of the curve is likewise demonstrated by his setting of the passion text by Barthold Heinrich Brockes, which dates from 1717-18; it had only been set the first time by Reinhard Keiser in 1712. The better-known settings of this text -- by Handel, Telemann, and its partial use by Johann Sebastian Bach in his "St. John Passion" -- all came later. It survives in two manuscripts, one in Chicago and the other in Leipzig, and both were probably copied after Fasch had died; Mary Térey-Smith elected to edit the Leipzig version for this performance. Like Fasch's Overture, this "Passion" is unadorned, never fussy, relatively free of contrapuntal business, and quite straightforward in its presentation; the chorales are especially lovely. The soloists are fine, particularly Maria Zádori, whose voice lightens up the restrained atmosphere of the performance every time it is heard. One qualm though; Térey-Smith's direction is so cautious that the music only seldom sparkles, and several times the passion gets dangerously close to being boring, though it never quite arrives there. With 2008 being the Semiquincentennial of Fasch's death, expect more to come, although in sum, Naxos' Fasch: Passio Jesu Christi is a generally pleasing example of Fasch's vocal music.

Resurrection (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Using approaches from the Hebrew interpretive tradition to discern the actual events surrounging Jesus' death, Bishop Spong questions the hitorical validity of literal narrative concerned the Ressurection. He asserts that the resurrection story was born in an experience that opened the disciples' eyes to the reality of God and the meaning of Jesus of Nazareth. Spong traces the Christian origins of anti-Semitism to the Church's fabrication of the ultimate Jewish scapegoat, Judas Iscariot. He affirms the inclusiveness of the Christian message and emphasizes the necessity of mutual integrity and respect among Christians and Jews.

Is there a GBC emulator that will run on Lion? I've been in the mood for some nostalgic gaming recently, and I'd love to play some of the games from when I was younger.
http://vba.ngemu.com/ Visual Boy advanced should work on Mac. I haven't personally tried it out, but if it's at all as good as their program for PC you'll be set. Best of luck
VisualBoyAdvance is apparently a PowerPC Application that is able to run on Macs up to OS X Snow Leopard because those versions include a feature of being able to convert Power PC apps to Intel, which is what Macs are now with their Intel chipset.
Unfortunately they took out this feature from OS X Lion so it now ONLY ACCEPTS Intel applications. Therefore VisualBoyAdvance will not work on OS X Lion since it is Power PC. I have Snow Leopard though, so I am currently enjoying a nice session of Pokemon on VisualBoyAdvance on my Mac. Hope this helps

Similarly for weak bases. The BrØnsted-Lowry Theory Since NH 3 is a weak base, NH 4 + must be a strong acid. – NH 4 + gives up H + to reform NH 3 . Compare that to NaOH ® Na + (aq) + OH - (aq) – Na + must be a weak acid or it would recombine to form NaOH Remember NaOH ionizes 100%. NaOH is a strong base. The BrØnsted-Lowry Theory Amines are weak bases that behave similarly to ammonia. The functional group for amines is an -NH 2 group attached to other organic groups. The Autoionization of Water Water can be either an acid or base in Bronsted-Lowry theory. Consequently, water can react with itself.
