We've all been there: You're tired, you're hungry, you just want to live in Whitefish with your family and future husband.
Next thing you know, you've accidentally posted "F this job" on the official Facebook page of the Montana Office of Tourism.
The latest victim of this all-too-common occurrence is an unnamed account manager at MercuryCSC, the Bozeman-based marketing firm responsible for handling Montana Tourism's consumer engagement.
So far no word from MercuryCSC on the employee's fate, and visitMontana has scrubbed the offending post from their Facebook page without issuing a statement.
Some suggest this might not have been an accident, while others are pointing out that Whitefish is truly lovely this time of year.

Look for fresh shrimp that smells like the sea, with no hint of ammonia.
Wash shrimp and pat dry with a paper towel. Refrigerate on ice and cook the same day.
The secret to perfect shrimp is to cook them at the last minute, just until they are opaque in the center. Serve them hot.
Shrimp is an excellent source of selenium and vitamin B12.

A memo from CBS surfaced earlier this week advising Grammy participants to avoid wearing see-through clothing and to make sure "buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered" during the show's broadcast.
"For some reason people thought this was something new or different or even foreboding as far as being restrictive," Neil Portnow said backstage after the show.
What was outlined in the memo was simply the standard the show has followed every year for at least a decade, he said.
What's more, he added, every TV network has to communicate its standards and practices to anyone appearing on its shows.
Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Rowland, who both wore only slightly revealing outfits, joked about the memo.

Without a doubt, role playing games of all genres owe a debt of gratitude to Dungeons and Dragons. The role playing hobby may not even exist today if it weren't for Gary Gygax's introduction of D&D way back in 1974. The game's influence can be seen not only in every table top RPG game that's come since, but in video RPG games as well, such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Spike Video Game Awards 2011 game of the year. Sadly, Gary Gygax passed away in 2008, but he undeniably left his mark on the gaming world at large with his most famous creation.
To honor the work and memory of Gary Gygax, Wizards of the Coast is releasing limited edition reprints of three classic Dungeons and Dragons books: the Dungeon Master's Guide, the Player's Handbook, and the Monster Manual. The books are being dubbed the "Premium" versions and are being released on April 17, 2012 in limited quantities. The premium versions are faithful, hardcover reproductions of the original books with the same content and artwork. Only the book covers have been redesigned to commemorate the new release. Wizards of the Coast is planning to donate a portion of the profits for each book sold to the Gygax Memorial Fund. The fund has been established to honor the creator of Dungeons and Dragons with a memorial statute in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin — Gary Gygax's hometown and the birthplace of D&D.

VALLEY SPRINGS - Detectives worked through the weekend revisiting 300 homes in the neighborhood where 8-year-old Leila Fowler was fatally attacked April 27, and federal K-9s were on the way Monday to assist, Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz said.
"We are flying in some special dogs from Washington, D.C.," Kuntz said during an early afternoon media briefing outside his agency's Valley Springs substation.
Kuntz said the dogs are trained to detect and follow trails left by even minute amounts of blood. He said the FBI is providing the dogs.
Kuntz assured a small crowd of reporters, saying "I am very confident we will be able to solve this case in the real near future."
Details about why Kuntz believes that, however, were sparse.
For example, Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Chris Hewitt said some of the human material sent for DNA testing early in the investigation had yielded "a positive result."
He declined, however, to say what that result was or whether it had made it possible for investigators to identify a particular person.
Similarly, Kuntz and Hewitt said that dive teams over the weekend had searched two shallow ponds near the Rippon Road home where Leila was attacked.
As to whether those teams found anything, "I can not release if they did or not," Hewitt said.
Meanwhile, much of the DNA laboratory analysis remains pending.
Investigators say they expect to get those lab results as soon as the end of this week.
"That will really bring us closer to closing this case," Hewitt said.
Hewitt said that he and others have to be cautious about releasing information because they don't want to taint the investigation. He said investigators want to make sure they can prosecute and win a conviction against the person responsible.
"We must be thorough," he said. "We want to make sure we cover all our bases."

OAKLAND -- Perhaps A's pitcher Jarrod Parker should have considered taking another sick day.
Parker, scratched from his scheduled start Sunday in Texas because of illness, returned to the mound at the Coliseum on Monday night. But things did not go well at all, for him or the A's.
Parker not only saw his streak of 19 consecutive games without a loss come to an end, it was a rude ending in a 12-1 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels before a crowd of 14,629.
Parker (11-7) hadn't lost a game since May 22, a 3-1 loss to the Texas Rangers in Arlington, but this was a quick knockout of the right-hander by the Angels -- two runs in the first, an unearned run in the third and then a big five-spot in the fifth.
The final line wasn't pretty. Parker gave up eight runs -- seven earned -- in 41/3 innings, walking two and striking out three. It was a stark contrast to the pitcher who was 9-0 during the streak and 5-0 with a 2.40 ERA since Aug. 1.
"It was a good run," said Parker. "It was one of those things where all good things come to an end. I guess if you're going to do it, you might as well give it up and get it over with."
Even on such a dour night for Parker and the A's, there was still some good news. With Texas' 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay, Oakland reduced its magic number to clinch the American League West to seven and still leads the division by 61/2 games with 12 to go.
A's manager Bob Melvin said Parker had recovered from whatever bug knocked him for a loop Sunday. But Parker didn't sound as though he was feeling so healthy as he reflected on his performance afterward.
"I'm not going to put it on that or make an excuse, but whatever," he said. "I was throwing up yesterday. I was trying to take liquids and eat and hydrate. I felt better today, and I wanted to keep it going. But I'll just turn the page and move on."
Parker said nothing was working on this night.
"Early in the game, I was all over the place," he said. "It felt like it'd been forever since I was out there. There was very little execution, not too many pitches down in the zone. Even the off-speed was up. It was just not a very good game."
After Parker departed in the fifth, it didn't get any better. Before it was over, young Angels phenom Mike Trout hit perhaps the longest home run of the year at the Coliseum -- a mammoth shot off the window of a luxury suite in straightaway center field against reliever Pedro Figueroa.
Trout's blast was estimated at 421 feet, but without Mount Davis to stop it, the ball surely would have traveled much farther. The ball cleared the center field fence by at least 30 feet and was hit on a line.
"I think Yoenis hit a ball off the glass last year," said Melvin, referring to the A's Yoenis Cespedes. "But he hit it a long way, yeah."
If all that wasn't enough, A's nemesis C.J. Wilson (17-6) did a number on them once again. The left-hander allowed just four hits and one run over seven innings and upped his record to 4-0 against Oakland this season.
The A's recommend that ticket holders enter the stadium gates when they first open to allow ample time for this new security procedure. Gates will open at 5:35 p.m. Thursday, 4:30 p.m. Friday, and 11:05 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

This is a weekly editorial by WXII President and GM Hank Price.
This week, March 4-8, is Severe Weather Awareness Week in North Carolina, and there's no better time to make sure you and your family are prepared for the weather that lies ahead.
Last year, the National Weather Service issued more than 1000 severe thunderstorm warnings in North Carolina. There were also 21 confirmed cases of tornado touchdowns that did $19 million worth of damage statewide.
In the coming days, NOAA and FEMA will talk about what to do when severe weather strikes. We here at WXII are committed to your safety and encourage you to take note.
Some of the important steps include watching local television reports, purchasing a NOAA radio, and having a disaster supply kit. Inspiring others to do the same is crucial, so we can all be safe.

STOCKTON - Proposed federal rules governing food safety are a "one-size-fits-all" approach, in some cases are "excessive and unnecessary" and could pose "undue hardships" on growers while not guaranteeing against bacterial outbreaks, a panel of industry representatives said Monday afternoon.
The speakers were addressing state Sen. Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton, chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, during an informational hearing at City Hall.
Galgiani is gathering information on industry members' opinions about proposed produce safety rules that are part of the Federal Food Safety Modernization Act, which was approved by Congress. President Barack Obama signed the act nearly two years ago, but rules are still being tweaked and will not take effect until at least 2015.
Much of the industry concern during the 140-minute session was over a proposed rule that would require growers to conduct weekly bacteria testing of surface water.
"A weekly water test is excessive and unnecessary," said Scott Horsfall, head of the California Leafy Green Marketing Agreement. "Water tests are not inexpensive, and they would not result in increased food safety. ... We require a monthly water test. The water used in California is very, very clean. We're not going to move the needle (on food safety) by requiring a weekly test."
Food safety experts, the director of inspection services for the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and representatives for growers whose crops range from citrus fruits to almonds were among Monday's speakers.
"With the diversity of California agriculture comes a complexity that, in my opinion, people in the rest of the country cannot comprehend," said Jamie Johansson of the California Farm Bureau Federation.
Johansson was the harshest critic of the proposed rules. He called them a "broad overreach of executive power" and said the rules should be simplified and reviewed by farmers.

BERKELEY -- Cal football coach Sonny Dykes called the hiring of his latest two defensive coaches "a make-it or break-it deal" for the future of his regime, but stopped short of confirming that movement on his staff is done.
Still left to sort out are position assignments, and currently there is no one on the staff who is a clear choice to replace the departed Barry Sacks as interior defensive line coach.
Dykes said he expects to announce position assignments on his staff within two weeks.
He was less definitive about the future of Andy Buh, demoted last month from his role as defensive coordinator after the Bears' 1-11 season. Two weeks ago, Dykes hired Art Kaufman to handle that assignment.
Asked specifically whether he expects Buh will be on the staff by next fall, Dykes said, "We'll see. I don't know. We'll see."
It's a tricky situation because Buh still has two years on his contract, which pays him a guaranteed $500,000 per season.
But Buh handled linebackers last season, and that's been Kaufman's specialty while also serving as coordinator at Cincinnati, Texas Tech and North Carolina.
On the day after national signing day, Dykes introduced Kaufman and new defensive backs coach Greg Burns to Bay Area media, and said he decided the make staff changes after spending the Christmas break watching videotape of every Cal practice and game dating back to last spring.
He said he was impressed particularly by Kaufman's experience.
"I want somebody that has an answer when things start going south, and it can't be something that we invented midway through the third quarter," Dykes said.
He said that Kaufman, 55, runs defenses that play at a fast pace, providing an ideal complement to Cal's uptempo Bear Raid offense.
Kaufman is tasked with fixing the worst defense in school history. The Bears allowed 551 points -- 120 more than any Cal team ever. They surrendered a staggering average of 39.4 points through the third quarter of games.
Kaufman said he probably will not watch tapes of Cal's games last season. And it's not because he fears experiencing night terrors.
"I don't know what they were asked to do last year," Kaufman said, "and for me to gauge a guy based on what he did on film and say it was a good job or bad job is really irrelevant."
Kaufman also won't solicit feedback on players from Buh, but will wait to make judgments when spring ball begins on March 31.
Burns, who has eight years combined experience as a secondary coach at USC and Arizona State, was hired Monday after a glowing text-message reference from Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Burns' boss with the Trojans.
As much as what Carroll had to say about Burns, Dykes was impressed that he'd take the time the week of the NFL championship game to provide the feedback.
"Some of the guys supposed to be our best guys, I've never seen them," Dykes said. "I've never seen Scarlett practice."
Scarlett is cleared for spring ball, as are cornerback Trey Cheek (hamstring) and defensive end Sione Sina (knee).
Jalil, safety Avery Sebastian (Achilles), cornerback Stefan McClure (knee) and linebacker Nathan Broussard (knee) will participate in spring practice on a limited basis. Linebacker Hardy Nickerson (foot) won't be available until fall camp.

Liverpool Message Board
Toughest EPL Yet ( and 2.3M)
All the paper talk and rumors will always exist, but bearing in mind all of the tv money the teams in the EPL are getting this season, in addition to whatever pockets they have, is shaping up to make what I think may be the most competitive EPL season I've ever seen in my time as a fan.. Some rumors are just that, but others we can see where a club or spokesman puts something in quotes, and seeing a club like Southampton having had a 10M bid accepted for Wanyama of Celtic, and rumors of stepping up for 25M to Internacional for a player of Leandro Damaio's caliber, really has to catch your attention. Of course, not everything on paper materializes to an end product, but I think this is the reason LFC are being linked with so many attacking players, and have been actively pursuing so many, with strong suggestions that Mkhitarayan having been agreed for 25.7M
In light of that, I honestly could see a team coming out of nowhere, or who we'd consider bottom half, actually putting forth a serious top 6-7 push, much like West Brom did for a significant period, but seeing it through. If Southampton and Swansea, are truly spending or going to, as the way stories suggest, with quality managers, I can really see it, and it only adds the challenge in a hard league, and brutal top 7 already..
As for the 2.3M part, apparently Cardiff City have purchased Tom Ince from Blackpool for 8M something, and if he decides to go, which one would presume he will, gives us 2.3M back for the sell on fee in his contract.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Man U won't be the team to beat this season that could well be Man C, Chelsea, Spurs, us, Arsenal.

Why do you feel your team will be the team to beat over United ? Lets face it if moyes can get Everton above you, what will he do with the United squad. Now you may say but Rooney will go, and id say Suarez will go. So who is in Most trouble then ? And do you really think moyes wont get big backing in the transfer market for his first season ? Garay seems likely, Alcantara hopefully, maybe Strootman, Zaha , Rooney would be replaced . I think we will be strong. You are not title challengers. Not even remotely and thats if Suarez stays. You normally talk a lot of sense, maybe you have been hacked. United come Feb will be mathematically uncatchable by your lot.

And it's also rumoured that we may be about to hyjack that move by paying 5.7m (matching 8m - 2.3m). That will be an additional attacker in the team. Since the transfer window has opened, I am hoping that we should start to see some outward movements soon. We are overloaded with attacking midfielders now..and I am not sure if that is sustainable.

We're definitely going to see some outs soon, especially w/ a few players back from loan. By all accounts, (I'm not sure I love sale as opposed to loan) Shelvey is on his way, with Norwich, Swansea and WHU the names. Spearing for about 2-3M to Wigan, Downing with Villa return or Fulham, and surely Pacheco going somewhere for good.
I'm not sure we're going after Ince after completing the Aspas move because he'll likely push downing for that wide right attacking move, and both Alberto and Sterling play there too, but I think a lot hinges on the Mkhitarayan rumor/move. Definitely a lot more action to come..

DALY CITY -- Pat Curcio isn't ready to declare that his minor league hockey team will benefit from the labor impasse that has shut down the NHL and left his fledgling San Francisco Bulls the logical alternative for puck-starved fans.
"In truth, are they hockey fans or are they Shark fans?" he asks rhetorically about the regular crowds of 17,562 that fill HP Pavilion between NHL lockouts.
Curcio, who owns a share of the Bulls and also serves as coach and general manager, is about to find out as his team opens the ECHL regular season Friday night at the Cow Palace against the Bakersfield Condors.
Lockout aside, longtime Sharks fans might be tempted to check out the Cow Palace for nostalgic reasons as it was the NHL team's home for its first two seasons. While the 1940s-era structure is essentially the same, there are some changes.
The Bulls have invested more than $2 million in everything from a new video board and sound system to improved security in the parking lots. Tarps in one end zone and curtains elsewhere will reduce capacity from 11,000 to about 8,500. A beer garden has been added at ice level. And the team has hired ice girls, calling them the Cow Belles.
The hockey played in the ECHL is considered two steps below the caliber that Bay Area fans are accustomed to seeing. While the Bulls are a Sharks affiliate, San Jose's top prospects play in Worcester of the AHL, with only a few players such as goalie Thomas Heemskerk and defenseman Mikael Tam reassigned to San Francisco at this point.
Many of the Bulls are players looking for a second or third chance at the NHL.
"Hockey's a crazy game sometimes -- a couple injuries and a lot of stuff happens and you get your chance. You've just got to make the best of it," said defenseman Trevor Hendrikx, a seventh-round Columbus draft pick in 2005. "For me, I'm still living the dream."
Hans Benson, a 29-year-old right wing who grew up in Menlo Park, sees it similarly.
"Why somebody else and not me?" said Benson, who played in NHL exhibition games for Edmonton and St. Louis.
Others, however, recognize they probably missed their NHL chance.
"For me, it's about being around the guys, being around the atmosphere and just playing hard," said Chris Frank, 26, a defenseman who pursued a master's degree in business administration while playing in Cardiff, Wales, last season.
Curcio's challenge is to balance the need to develop players with a shot at the NHL and the need to develop a fan base by winning.
"It becomes difficult because sometimes your 28-year-old player is better than your 20-year-old right now. But your 20-year-old player has a chance to make the NHL still," Curcio said. "Sometimes you sacrifice an older guy's ice time to give a younger guy an opportunity."
One older player not likely to lose much ice time is Peter Sivak, 30, a veteran forward from Slovakia who moved to San Francisco because his wife, a doctor, took a job with Kaiser Permanente.
One of Curcio's assistant coaches knows the Cow Palace better than anyone else in the organization. Tom Pederson, now 42, was a defenseman with the Sharks in their final season before the move to downtown San Jose.
"It brings a lot of memories back," Pederson said. "Some of the guys are like, 'You played here?' Yeah I played here."

Arsenal could be competing better but saying that I think we are biding our time. The financial clout we have is not what many believe. I do think we should have invested better with the money from Fab and VP but it just puts us in a better position to build a new team when we get a new manager.

Arsenals time will come again and I dont have an impatience issue. Arsenal look very good for the future, so even if Wenger Kroenke Hill-wood whoever dont change things, someone will eventually and we will be fine.

Brilliant post, Jack.
5 star.
I didn't realise sitting 5th behind the spuds and Chelski was considered an achievement or a goal.
Yes, catching up these clubs is now our main objective but the comments made by most people on here all agree that we should never be in this spot in the first place and aiming higher.
If the club didn't have the financial clout to compete then no one would be talking about under achieving, but this isn't the case.
Everytime someone posts an article or makes an opinion known you seem to bad mouth them down.

I always have a problem with long hours of bike riding.
I have the tendency to push my body weight against the handle bar which always resulted strain on my palm.
I was told to relax my hands and placed it on the area near to the brakes but failed to relax it. Any advise or ways to reduce
the level of pressures exerted to my hands during riding?

It sounds like it could be a handful of things, but we might need more data before we can advise you. First off, what kind of "strain" are you referring to? Is it a pain? Is it sharp or dull? Does it hurt to move your hand, or is it a constant pain? Where is the palm does it hurt the most? What alleviates the pain? Do you ride with gloves? When was your bar tape or grips last replaced? Without too much data, here's some info on two of the most common types of discomfort that I have seen (note, I'm making some assumptions here):
The first type of discomfort, is a pain in the palmar area after a longer bike ride (20 miles for some people), can be from a handful of things. The more muscular-type pains that increase with intensity when you move your hand or fingers, can be from bruising of the palm, likely from lack of shock absorption or repeated impact to the palm or the "heel" of the hand (near the wrist).
The second type is a numbing, radiating pain starting in the hand and radiating up the arm. This is likely (but not certainly) from nerve compression in the hand. There are some pretty major nerves that run through the palm of the hand including the median and ulnar nerves that run right through the carpal tunnel of the wrist.
Okay, there's good news: Both of these are fixable. When was your bar tape last changed? You can change to more plush grips or a cushier bar tape and put some pads (like gel inserts) under the tape. Also, do you ride with gloves? New gloves, or cushier gloves can help to reduce the impact to your hands and compression of those nerves.
Also, from the form and technique department, your first problem might be pushing your weight against your bars. Why are you doing this? Is it a comfort or a fit thing? When you can relax your arms, you get a more fluid style of riding. Also you are going to get more natural shock absorption through your arms, shoulders and parts of your upper back. By relaxing your arms and shoulders with a slight bend in them, you are taking the shock and impact through your muscles instead of through your bones and joints. Shortening the stem on your bike can reduce your reach and maybe make it more comfortable. Also, shortening the stem can reduce the need to keep your arms a full extension to get to the bar, and maybe make the brake hoods a more comfortable place to be.
I don't know if this helps, but it might be a starting point for you. Maybe the LBS can help out too. It's tough to give advice on this stuff without knowing you or seeing you ride.
Please keep us updated and let us know what happens.
The pain is located near to the thumbnail just above wrist. That is where I apply most of the pressure during cycling.
It is felt after at least 2 hours after riding, generally it will go away after 1 or 2 days. Sometimes I do experience the numbness
you mentioned in type 2.
I don't usually wear gloves during riding. What kind of gloves would you recommend?
I would change my bar tape once it's start to wear out or get dirty.
Thanks for pointing out on the last portion, I usually ride most of the time with my hands straighten. Maybe this could be one of the cause
that you mentioned. I will try to bend my hand during riding to see if its help with the conditions.
I will update again when I get into my long riding..
Thank alot for the valuable sharing

Okay, maybe it's getting clearer as far as what it might be.
Definately try the newer bar tape and maybe the gloves too, they are a potentially inexpensive fix. As far as which gloves, I'd say whichever fits best and looks the coolest. Don't buy anything with spikes or leather. That's the wrong kind of biker glove.
Depending on the size and shape of your hand, different brands might work better. Look for a good fit (not constricting, not loose) through the palm. You can be a bit more loose through the finger. I'm sure your LBS has a few different brands and models to choose from. Also once you try them on, go grab a bike from the sales floor (hopefully a super fancy one!) and grip the grips with the gloves on and see how they feel. Are they binding? Are the loose? Gloves will stretch out only a little bit so if they're tight now, they're probably going to be tight for a while.
Things i look for: Sturdy palmar part of the glove with hopefully either no, or only one seam. Lycra or something breathable on the back of the hand. Something over the thumb to wipe boogies or sweat from my face. These shouldn't be expensive, and I think if it's an experiment I think you can avoid spending lots of money. And make sure they look cool and match your kit. Or, make sure they look ridiculous. Whichever works for you.
When you ride, try also putting in a slight bend in your elbows and shoulders. This might be something to think about off and on. I know for me I do like to let my shoulders creep up on me, so I try to think about it and correct it whenever I get a drink. I kind of do a short "systems check" and make sure I'm all in the right orientation.
How's that? Do you think this has helped?
Get thee to a bike shop and get a professional fit done! It may cost $100-$125 but is well worth it. You should not be applying any weight to your hands; that is what your sit-bones are for. Pressure on the hands can cause problems like yours, pain in the neck, shoulders and elbows. Your hands are for steering, shifting and braking not weight bearing. In addition to a proper bike fit, you may also have to strengthen your core. Those rock-solid abs (and psoas, etc) are not just for looking hot at the beach, they hold you up when you are bent over your bike so you don't put weight on your hands. You should be having fun riding and getting a "good" kind of sore.
BT is absolutely right - your bike is probably fit incorrectly (or not at all), and your posture is causing the pain. Go get your bike professionally fitted. It costs $70 at my local bike shop, and worth every penny.

The stockings may have been hung by the chimney with care, but nobody thought about anchoring the Christmas tree to the wall in case the Wiens' "feline investigation committee" clawed its way to the top, limb by limb by limb by ... timber!
"The impressive thing the year the tree fell over -- oh, the cat was out of sight by the time the tree hit the floor -- was the size of the flood that followed" from the water in the tree stand, says Aletha Wiens, of Concord, recalling the soggy-sweet holiday memory. "Re-wrapping the presents was a chore. Now we tie the tree to a hook in the ceiling."
Yes, with a world full of bad kitties, unstable tree stands, lights that take forever to drape precariously along second-floor eaves and then go dark even though they were all totally working fine when you took them out of the box, holiday decorating is fraught with peril.
So we asked readers and a few folks around the Bay Area to share some holiday havoc and family folklore from Christmases past. Tree incidents seem to top -- or topple, as the case may be -- the list. But a few surprising tidbits turned up too.
For instance, "You'd never expect someone to try to eat your Christmas display," says Barbara Benson, recalling the time someone tried to eat hers.
Run, run, as fast as you can
Barbara and her husband, Skip, live in Alameda on Thompson Avenue, one of those streets where neighbors band together each year and go wacky with holiday spirit. For a few years, the Bensons' main display involved the story of the Gingerbread Man, with a little stove and a fox and the adorably decorated-cookie man (actually plastic foam) running across the lawn.
All was happy in this holiday scene until one day the Bensons stepped outside to find a bite had been taken out of their little ginger guy, a chunk nibbled right out of his upper torso.
"The person must have figured out pretty quick it wasn't really a cookie," Skip Benson says. After a couple more incidents the following year (no more biting, but some downright Grinch-like cookie crumbling), the Bensons switched to snowmen, which have since lived happily ever after on the lawn.
"I guess nobody thinks about eating a snowman," Skip says.
Just down the street, Carl Winterbauer, an electrician known for his festive fleet of glowing pink flamingo reindeer, says he's never had any major disasters, but he averted one once when a TV crew set up across the street for a live broadcast and started to raise the truck's mast -- right into the low-hanging power lines.
"I shouted, 'Stop! Stop!' " he says. "Then I had them park over here in front of my house instead, and I gave them hot chocolate."
O Tannenbaum!
A great save, to be sure. But in the category of herculean holiday rescue efforts, the prize has to go to Sharon Hohmann, of Sunnyvale. In mid-December a few years ago, she was home alone and walking through the family room, admiring the recently decorated 8-foot fir -- carefully adorned with her grandparents' delicate antique glass ornaments. She realized the tree was very, very, ever-so-slowly tipping to one side, so she rushed over and practically threw her body up against the tree to support it.
"I couldn't lay it down on the floor since many of the glass ornaments would have been crushed under the weight," Hohmann says. "I was two rooms from my telephone and couldn't reach any of the chairs that might have helped me support the tree and free me from the terrible pain I got in my back by doing this."
So she stood there. Holding it. For two hours! Finally, her husband came home and helped out. "We now have hooks in all of the ceilings where we place our trees for an additional twine support," she says.
At The Fat Lady Bar & Restaurant in Oakland, co-owner Patricia Rossi is known for her elaborate themes and twists on tradition in the historic Victorian building. This year, it's a spin on "Swan Lake" -- something to do with Santa's alter-ego of Krampus. "We try to be a little more art-forward," she says.
And this is no small task. They closed for two days and stayed up for nearly 30 hours straight to put up the staff-made props. Has she ever had something go wrong?
"Everything you can imagine," Rossi says. "You get something going perfectly. Then a few days before we're ready to go, the lights blow. Or you're putting up lights and fabric, you stand back and you just hate it, tear it down and have to start over."
Rossi has learned not to string more than five strands of lights together. "And if a strand doesn't work, just throw it away. Don't mess with trying to figure out which bulb is out," she says.
Bah, firebug
For Angela Owen, of Palo Alto, a memorable tree incident was seared into her memory 78 years ago when she was just 7 and her family lived in a small German village. It was a time before electric Christmas lights, and -- unwise as it seems now -- people used real candles on their trees. Owen's family kept buckets of water and sand at the ready, should the tree topple over. And sure enough, it did. On Christmas Eve.
"I remember the 'whoosh' when it fell with its burning candles and tingling ornaments right onto the top of the grand piano and the stack of sheet music, which went up in flames. And I can still see my father grabbing the bucket of water and throwing it onto the fire.
"I don't remember how we managed to have our Christmas dinner that night," she says, "but what I do remember is that we sang carols without my mother playing the piano, which would just blubber."
Less dangerous, but still startling, a huge crash at 2:30 a.m. woke Natalie Krumm's family in San Jose two Christmases ago. They ran out to discover a grisly scene, "a tree corpse lying in a growing pool of water on the hardwood floor," she says. The fate of the unstable tree stand? "No mercy. It couldn't hit the trash can fast enough," Krumm says.
Creatures were stirring
Emily Sparks, of Oakland, tells a creepy tale about her friend who trimmed her tree with cute candy canes, only to be greeted the next morning by ants. Lots of ants. Lots. "Into the kitchen, through the hall and into the living room," she recalls, "trails and trails of them, leading straight to the fabulous Christmas tree. The entire tree was shimmering with the diminutive creatures, up the trunk, out the branches, over and on the ornaments and covering each candy cane.
"There was nothing to do but drag the entire tree outside, ornaments, sugar-happy visitors and all, and say goodbye to it."
And in 2010, when Santa brought Michael Montgomery's 5-year-old grandson a child-size motorcycle and left it under the tree in Montgomery's Los Gatos home, the little boy was thrilled -- but unaware the accelerator was in the handgrips. So when the child got on the bike to pose for a photo ... well, as his grandpa says, "It all happened so fast!
"It actually flew out from underneath him, went through the tree and into a table," Montgomery says. "My grandson still talks about it. This is now one of our favorite Christmas memories."

Thesis Excerpt: The Price and Value of MusicTuesday, April 26th, 2011
Just heard a great audience comment on the livestream of the Rethink Music Conference in Boston:
Value is not price. Price comes from value but u have to think of redefining value outside of price.
Thanks to Eric Hellweg for eternalizing it.
In trade group IFPI's Digitial Music Report 2010, the following quote can be found:
We are in danger of creating a world where nothing appears to have any value at all, and the things that we make… will become scarce or disappearing commodities.
The concept of something becoming free (or feeling like free) decreasing the value of it is an often repeated logic in the music business and needs to be addressed. A lot of the common medicine we use now, used to be a lot more expensive, but their value has remained the same or perhaps even increased due to their availability. It has not become scarce or disappearing as their costs fell; they became abundant and more widely used.
A report by the trade group Recording Industry Assocation of America reveals that as (physical) CD prices dropped 9% between 1996 and 2006 (inflation-adjusted), concert ticket prices rose 86%, suggesting that that which is easy to reproduce reduces in (commercial) value and that which is not easily reproduced has actually gained commercial value. This has very important consequences for the marketing mix and will be discussed in the solutions section (thesis coming very soon, I promise).
Some are even suggesting a more radical drop in price for that which is easy to reproduce (this is where the financial cost versus mental cost discussion comes back). Rob Dickins, former boss of Warner Music UK and former chairman of the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), suggested that album prices should be slashed to about 1 euro, arguing that:
If you're a fan of REM and you've got 10 albums and there's a new album coming out, you've got to make that decision about whether you want it or not. If we lived in a micro-economy, that wouldn't be a decision. You'd just say 'I like REM' and you'd buy it.
Music manager Jonathan Shalit retorts:
Right now if you buy a bottle of water it's £1. A piece of music is a valuable form of art. If you want the person to respect it and value it, it's got to cost them not a huge sum of money but a significant sum of money.
Again, the cost/value point is made, but refuted by San Francisco Weekly's music editor, Ian S. Port:
Several have argued that selling an album for less than a cup of coffee or a bottle of water would devalue the art of music. But people — at least, young people who don't buy much music anyway — don't judge the artistic value of music by what it costs. If they did, they would look down on artists who give away free MP3s and whose albums were obtainable on file-sharing sites. They don't.
The devaluing-the-art argument misses two other important points: First, coffee and water bottles can't be downloaded quickly and anonymously at no cost, while digital music can. Second, paying $3 or $4 for a tangible good (i.e., a cup of coffee you watched a person make especially for you) seems intrinsically reasonable in this day and age, even, I would guess, to a 13-year-old. But paying $10 to download a digital file that's a copy of a copy of a copy — all of them made at no additional cost — somehow doesn't.
And that is basically how I feel about this whole discussion.

July Fourth starts with a bang in Breckenridge as the Firecracker 50 mountain bike race takes off the morning of the Independence Day holiday, kicking off the town's Main Street parade.
"Imagine a small village in France that the Tour de France goes through, with people lining the course four-deep on both sides," race officials say. "We do a pretty good rendition of that! All those folks are waiting for the parade to start, and (the riders) are the first spectacle to come rolling down Main Street. High-five the little kids, say a happy Fourth of July to a few folks and enjoy the attention. It's a rare treat."
It all started at the beginning of the new millennium, when Maverick Sports owner and race coordinator Jeff Westcott realized July Fourth was ripe for an epic athletic event that would become a staple not just in the community but in the mountain biking racing calendar.
The course takes riders through a rugged and technical 25-mile loop through trails surrounding Breckenridge. They make two laps - crossing through Carter Park before the second go-around.
Roots and rocks - and dust - will greet riders as they pedal through the singletrack course, known for its technicality as it winds in and out of varied terrain, up and down the hills surrounding Breck.
Each 25-mile lap has 5,400 feet of climbing - much of it on the old railroad grade out of Breckenridge on Boreas Pass Road to the turnoff at Baker's Tank. Grunty climbs, long lungbusters, speedy descents and contouring flume and singletrack make up the course as it passes through Lincoln Park, past the Iowa Mill, winding around to Nightmare on Baldy before dropping into French Gulch via the Sally Barber Mine and Little French Gulch. It rips down Humbug Hill and through the Little French Flume to Prospect Hill, where another descent awaits. V3 Trail switchbacks down to the Barney Ford Trail, leading back to Carter Park, where the second lap starts.
Riders will climb almost immediately, and hang out in the upper elevations before dropping back down to 9,500 feet after a number of small hill climbs and descents.
Volunteers will line the course and head the aid stations, giving riders a chance to clear their lungs and splash away the dusty sweat crust that will form in the unusually hot and dry summer weather.
Racers number about 750 and are divided into women's and men's pro, expert age group, and sport age group classes. Singlespeed and two-person teams also have separate categories.
"You are a pro if you race for money, have a contract with a team, your bike was given to you by a manufacturer or you simply wanna play with the big boys and girls," Maverick Sports officials write on the website.
Juniors race The Sparkler - a 14-mile portion of the 25-mile loop. A men's and women's category allows anyone to take part in the shorter race. The shorter course is meant to introduce beginners to the sport and give them the opportunity to win a category.
Top racers will finish well under 7 hours, but sport racers not making the 2:50 p.m. cutoff at Aid Station 2 will be sent to downtown Breckenridge via French Gulch Road to enjoy the rest of the day's festivities, ending the race in a timely fashion.

MATS puts everything trucking on display
If a trucker might want it, it's here.
The Mid-America Trucking Show always offers lots to look over, but this year's show seemed especially full of exciting new items. Freightliner introduced its T680 and Peterbilt debuted its 579, both touting driver-tested interior comfort. Freightliner, celebrating its 70-year anniversary, showed off the Revolution: Innovation Truck, a space-age style concept rig. Western Star went retro with its display, to an almost blindingly neon and sparkly degree.
Nearly 81,000 people attended, and if they had sore feet by the end of their walk through the aisles, there was always a comfy truck nearby to sit in.

Proud owner of the 379 Peterbilt black with flames! We have enjoyed working very hard on it for over 3 1/2 years. Thanks for publishing it and hope everyone loves it like we do!

I'm using PMS 1.72 to watch videos on my bravia TV
My problem is that when I watch a film, the movie is cut in 2-3 second sequences that come in a random order.
I tried to change some settings but that doesn't work.
I've a I7 860 CPU and the max ram for an xp 32 bits system (4GB installed but something like 3.2 GB recognised).
PMS has detcted 8 core but it's 4 core and 8 threads, so I try to set core to 4.
I tick the alternate synchro A/V (another problem, when it worked, was that audio and video where note really synchronized.
Any Help ?

The Associated Press
NEW YORK � Three former leaders of a once-potent New York City law firm are facing fraud charges stemming from its collapse.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance unveiled the criminal case Thursday in what was the nation's biggest law firm bankruptcy.
Former Dewey & LeBouef LLP chairman Steven Davis, former chief executive Stephen DiCarmine and former chief financial officer Joel Sanders pleaded not guilty to charges including fraud. They're free on $2 million bond each.
Defense lawyers say the three committed no crimes and tried to save the firm after the 2008 financial crisis.
Vance says they conspired to cook the firm's books from 2008 until its 2012 implosion. He says they misled auditors and even their own partners.
Vance says seven ex-Dewey employees pleaded guilty.
Dewey once employed 3,000 people worldwide.

Razzmatazz is a new hat pattern that I have designed to be an absolute color explosion. Merino wool was used for this exciting project. The Merino wool was hand dyed, hand-spun and hand knit for this FO with just a little lace here and there. A chunky Art yarn was created in such dazzling and bright colors, and at times I was uncertain that the color scheme would work. Once I began to knit the color scheme began to fit perfectly and I suddenly realized that I actually liked the boldness of the colors. Razzmatazz is one of two projects I am working on at the moment. It just happens that this project was the one chosen to be finished first. The other project is a much bigger project and the details of it will be discussed in a later post. Hope you enjoy seeing Razzmatazz as much as I enjoyed creating her.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- It wasn't just Justin Bieber's fans who had "Bieber Fever" as the teen idol kicked off his national tour in suburban Phoenix.
Video posted on KTVK-TV's website shows the pop music star vomiting twice on stage Saturday night during his sold-out concert at the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale. He left the stage after each episode but returned and even did an encore.
KTVK reports (http://bit.ly/W266wZ ) Bieber's fans sang some of his songs while he was offstage and he later apologized for being sick.
Bieber later tweeted "Great show. Getting better for tomorrow's show !!!! Love u"
He later added: "And .... Milk was a bad choice!"
Bieber's 45-city "Believe" tour continued Sunday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. He is scheduled to play Los Angeles on Tuesday and Wedneday, Fresno on Friday, and Oakland's Oracle Arena on Saturday.
