July 20 2014
Cleveland, Ohio, USA
My first check in from the road on this journey known as Let Rock Rule. And what a journey it has been thus far, brothers and sisters.
We started in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire at the legendary Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom doing our own two hour headlining set. None of us could possibly have known what to expect. We hadn't collectively been on stage together in some time. I can say that we locked into a familiar groove that created a slip stream of effortless chemistry for the next two hours. Those opening nights can be trouble. Kinks to be worked out both musically and technically. There was the odd technical snafu but to me it felt as if we had played the House Of Blues in Las Vegas the night before. Truth be told that gig in Las Vegas was almost a year ago. That monumentous night was the final night of the Apocalyptic Love (or as I affectionately called it the Apocalyptic LIVE) tour. Oh, how time flies.
Of course in the interim we had impregnated the world with a bouncing baby boy named World On Fire and it was to be delivered in it's entirety in September. The single of the same title is out there in the mainstream consciousness as I write this. That song is an animal. It is unrelenting. It is angry and. pardon the obvious pun, fiery. Some time ago I had mentioned that the new album sounded sleazy, dangerous and this is one of the songs I was referring to. It grabs you hard and doesn't let go for about 4 minutes. I'm proud of that one. You can hear me shouting along with Mr Kennedy at full volume. Loud and ever so proud!
Needless to say that opening show was a triumph. I felt very good about it. I was a shattered mess afterward but I still made a point of saying hello to as many people as possible. Thanks to all who came to crash that bottle over the hull of the good ship SMK&C.
We got to play some, as of yet, unreleased songs from the new album. The aforementioned World On Fire as well as Stone Blind and 30 Years To Life. That's 3. There are still 14, that's right, 14 more songs to hear on the new album. We've also added You Could Be Mine from the Use Your Illusions GNR days. The Conspirators have been lobbying for that one for a while. I consider it's inclusion a victory.
Things have panned from very relaxed to completely surreal since then. The very next day we found ourselves from one beach scene to another. Jones Beach, New York looks and feels a lot like the town in the film Jaws. I suppose Hampton Beach did too. I have stated before that I'm not much of a beach guy but if there were a killer shark about I'd be up for it. As a spectator.
I wasn't here to put zinc oxide on my nose and burn anyway in the warm…New York sun. I was here to do my part in our portion of the Let Rock Rule tour with America's greatest Rock N Roll band, Aerosmith. What a trip.
Not enough great things can be said about Aerosmith. They truly are outstanding considering how long they've been around. Steven Tyler hasn't missed a step. His voice is impeccable. A lot of the older guys lose a bit here and there. Not Steven. In fact from the audience he looks exactly the same as he ever did. Actually in person too. It's astounding. I will never have his energy. Ever.
Our set in Jones Beach was great. It's always weird readjusting to the opening slot but at sound-check it was extremely cool to see Brad Whitford side stage with legendary producer, Jack Douglas. Jack, of course, produced everything from Rocks and Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith to Double Fantasy by John Lennon and even the second Snakepit album. Brad Whitford is the coolest dude ever. I hope I'm half as cool as him as an elder statesman of rock.
During our set it was hard not to notice Steven Tyler way off on stage left bopping along to Da Conspirators. A younger me would have been completely distracted by that. The NOW me has a job to do and I did it to the best of my ability. It was fun tearing up the stage for the second night in a row. Our set was shorter than our headlining show but that Jones Beach air was humid and heavy. We were drenched with sweat as if we'd played twice as long.
After our show I got taken to school watching Aerosmith for the first time in a long while. Damn they sound good. Though Steven and Joe get most of the love the initiated know that not one member of that band is replaceable. It's fair to point out that Aerosmith is one of the only heritage bands out there with full original lineup. I can't think of many others…ZZ Top? I'll have to think on that.
Absolutely genius show. Apparently Liv Tyler was there though I didn't see her. I hung out with Gav and Victoria from the Ginger Wildheart camp. Amazing to catch up.
The man himself, Eddie Trunk, had made his way to the beach for some Rock N Roll and the gem that he is chose to wear his DAMMIT shirt. What a sweetheart. Supporting the home team! Good man! Always a pleasure to hang with the only man more knowledgeable than me about the most trivial things possible. And I say that with the utmost respect.
EDDIE TRUNK AND THE CONSPIRATORS (avec DAMMIT shirt! 🙂
Our good friend, Jimmy Webb, from Trash And Vaudeville in St Marks Place, New York City made the trip to Hampton Beach AND Jones Beach with us. He is part of the family. When you are next in NYC tell Jimmy Dammit sentcha!
We were back on the steel horse to the Motherland, the great white north, Canada directly after the show to make the Bluesfest in Ottawa, the nation's capital, the next day. That show featured Canadian legends, the Barenaked Ladies. It's always good to be back in the land of my birth. The show was HUGE. The audience was especially voracious. It was an amazing show. We really had a great time. The band was truly gelling like we'd never been away.
From Ottawa we were back on the bus for a day off in Toronto where I caught up with my brother, John, from AOE and SIS. Always good to see him and his Missus.
Watched Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, which was pretty damned awesome if I do say so myself. I'm a huge fan of the franchise. They are doing this 21st century version correctly. It was about 30 minutes too long for me but it was really great.
Then we were off to Kitchener for the Big Music Festival with Aerosmith, Kim Mitchell and Big Wreck. I stood side stage to watch my friends in Kim Mitchell's band. Some of you may remember that Fitz and I both sat in with Kim years ago. This time I was approached while watching the band and asked if I wanted to sing Battlescar. For the uninitiated Battlescar is the greatest song you've never heard. It is the clashing of two titan bands in the most glorious way ever. Rush VS Max Webster and the listener is the winner. I didn't hesitate and ran out to sing the Geddy Lee part as loud as I could. It was truly EPIC! These are the dreams of small town Canadian boys come to life.
Sure enough Steven Tyler showed up side stage to say hello to Kim. I'm sure Max Webster, Kim's old band, probably opened for Aerosmith back in the day.
I said hello to Joey Kramer in Slash's trailer. He's the legendary drummer from the Let Rock Rule tour headliner. Good man.
Afterwards as I was digging through my wardrobe case a voice came from behind me, "Hey man, is Slash around here?"
I spun around and was standing toe to toe with Steven Tyler. You just kinda KNOW that voice. We hugged and said hello and I directed him to Slash. It is not lost on me for an instant that Steven feels we are on a man hug basis of intimacy. Hey, I'll take it. I've been imitating all aspects of Aerosmith since as far back as I can remember. A real trip.
Our show was amazing in Kitchener. The crowd was huge and very into it. Oh, Canada. We stand on guard for thee!
From there we were off to the birthplace of Aerosmith, Boston. Truly one of the great American cities. So much history. The architecture alone is breathtaking. Took advantage of some downtime to really walk around and take in some history in Beacon Hill and beyond. And sure I returned to my fave spot, Newbury Comics.
Even went to Cheers, the inspiration for the NBC sitcom.
Nobody knew my name.
The homecoming show for the 'Bad Boys From Boston' was to be at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA. That was a great night. The people of Boston were especially good to us. It's truly awesome to see people singing along with World On Fire. It only just came out! Very exciting!
Backstage was homecoming mayhem for Aerosmith. The lovely, Mia Tyler, was in attendance as well as the families of virtually every member of the band. The unassuming guy in the corner in the blue glasses looked familiar. Oh shit, Edward Scissorhands/Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp, is in the house. what a trip. I'm a fan but I wasn't gonna nerd him out. He was too jump up on stage with 'the boys' later but we'd already be back on the bus.
Also to join the lads on stage would be our fearless leader, Slash. He asked me for a DAMMIT shirt so I gave it to him. Seeing him performing with Aerosmith was a trip. Seeing him do so while wearing my shirt was beyond surreal. I can't tell you what a thrill it is seeing Slash play with those guys. When Slash was a boy he drew impressive pictures of Aerosmith. They were HIS band. The band he was obsessed with and inspired by. Seeing him share the mic on Mama Kin with Tyler/Perry was a thing of Rock N Roll beauty. It was a real thrill.
BROTHER STEVEN, BROTHER SLASH and THE shirt!
So then we spent another day off in the amazing city of Boston. Went to Fenway Park to watch the Sox and the Kansas City, Royals with my co-Conspirators. Amazing experience. Serious history in that building. We actually got to witness two home runs by Boston. Pretty impressive.
Here I am now in another great Rock N Roll city, Cleveland, Ohio. Tonight we finally play another headlining set at Hard Rock Live. We are so due for a full 2 hour show. Can't wait. Tomorrow we will attend the AP Awards at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame where Slash was inducted as part of some band he used to play with…That should be a blast. Some very cool people performing and appearing there. I'll report on that later.
I have been obsessed with some crazy documentaries that I have to recommend on Netflix.
The Impostor will blow your mind.
The Woman Who Wasn't There will have you going 'whaaaa?'
Dear Zachary is almost un-recommendable as it is so troubling but it is truly brilliantly done and a crushing story.
I am currently obsessed (again) with the bizarre life of Michael Jackson. Ever since the 5 year anniversary of his death I've been back to being fascinated by the genius of his music and the madness of his life. It is truly unfortunate how his life turned out because he was so unimaginably talented. His grasp on reality clearly slipped far out of reach. Really a shame. A shame for so many affected.
I'm reading Untouchable-The Strange Life And Tragic Death Of Michael Jackson by Randall Sullivan and I cannot put it down. It is like 700 pages or something. It is the most in depth account of his life I've ever read.
It's one of those things about THAT kind of fame that I have no interest in. Not like it's really a choice. People get a certain level of power and just lose touch with reality. Being a musician is a very unrealistic life in the first place. We are all dreamers and not the most reliable people on the planet but I'm happy with my coffee and vinyl shops. I don't want to collect actual Batmobiles and build my house to look like the bridge of the Enterprise (because you know that's exactly what I would do with unlimited wealth). It's good to always have something to reach for.
People are always telling me make DAMMIT lunch boxes or DAMMIT travel mugs. I'm not interested. I'm happy that people wanna wear the shirt. It really touches me to see the shirt from Atlanta to Australia and all points between. Hey, I've gotten to see Eddie Trunk and Slash in 'em lately.
Funny story-Slash was looking at photos from a performance we did at the Wiltern Theater we did in LA some time ago. He was casually flipping through pictures on an iPad when he said, "wait a minute. Go back." So someone scrolled back and Slash said, "Look at all the DAMMIT shirts in the audience." We all laughed. It was a pretty amazing feeling to have all those people representing. Many in from Vegas. That is a gesture not lost on me in the least. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!
If you're interested please check out the merch page-
Even the cds are on there. More to come on that soon…
I've had a couple people tell me recently that I need a hair cut. Let me reply with-absolutely not. I am one of the lucky people that doesn't have to do a damn thing anyone tells me to do and it would be a real lack of faith in myself and how I wanna display my freedom to feel I have to look, dress or act a certain way other than exactly how I wanna.
And that's just what I'm gonna do, thank you very much.
It's funny cuz a friend was saying to me not that long ago how tired she was of people staring at her because of all her tattoos and punk hair and crazy clothing and I was like 'what are you talking about?'
We all dress this way or get tattoos or wear makeup or wear our hair crazy to be different from everyone else (and yes, like each other). Getting looked at is part of the deal. You have no idea how crazy it was to wear your hair long or have a mohawk or even have an earring at one time for a guy. I had become so accustomed to rednecks calling me 'faggot' that I accepted it as a badge of honor to not be anything like them. Being different is to be celebrated. Sure I could cut my hair, throw on a casual outfit and blend in but I choose to appear this way. People who are born different have no choice. They should be free to be themselves too. Unfortunately it is some kind of primal thing to lash out at something different or something you don't understand but we are not simple animals. We have the power of judgement and reason and logic. Why on earth would I want to live on a planet where everyone looks just like me? What a boring place that would be.
You will see. Someday aliens are gonna come down and say 'all humans are alike'. They come in different colors or whatever but they're basically all the same. Bipeds. Some are male, some are female but essentially the same. Then we'll feel pretty stupid for all these 'differences' we've found in one another.
I like all my different friends. Keeps life interesting.
So to summarize I'm gonna wear my hair the way I wanna. So should you.
Tommy Ramone died. The last of the original Ramones to go. All so young. All too young. I cannot stress the impact The Ramones have had on my life. They are the reason I play music. The reason I started and the reason I continue to. I had the audacity to say aloud that I liked The Ramones more than Led Zeppelin in my youth and it was heresy until I found like minded cretins. To be fair I love Zeppelin I just adore The Ramones. They speak to ME. The me inside of me. The Ramones have always been my argument when people ask me why I don't have punk rock hair since I love punk rock so much. Joey Ramone always had long hair. Iggy Pop too. And the Dolls. And the MC5. Music is in you not the clothes you wear and not in the way you wear your hair.
The Ramones taught you that with three chords and the truth you could take over the world one city at a time but you gotta love to work. The Ramones weren't 'American Idol'. They were 4 kids who made a horrible racket together until it was a pretty damned good racket and then a majestic and life changing one. There are 4 kids somewhere right now making a horrible racket in a basement or a garage that will one day take over the world while you're watching 'stars' on TV. We have The Ramones to thank for that.
There are some incredible reunion shows going on in Rock N Roll Heaven right now.
God bless Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy. The greatest Rock N Roll band in the world.
Big love to Marky, CJ and Richie too.
My Mother says I'm wearing too much eye makeup these days and that I look like Alice Cooper. I take that as a giant compliment (insert devilish grin)
Alright, I've rambled enough.
See you tomorrow night, Cleveland!
Big love, brothers and sisters!
Your loyal and humble servant
Todd Dammit

For Democrats, changing politics in Washington means ensuring that government is open, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the people. President Obama has implemented the most sweeping ethics and transparency requirements in history, building on steps taken by Democrats to limit the influence of special interests and ensure that government is accountable to the people.
Democrats believe that government should be honest, transparent, and participatory. For too long, lobbyists and special interests have held sway behind closed doors, and Americans have become skeptical that the voices of ordinary people are being heard. The Obama administration has taken unprecedented steps to restore the public's faith in government by opening up the process of governing.
Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their government is doing. We are committed to creating the most open, transparent, and accountable government in history. In the past few years, Democrats have taken steps to:
Departments and agencies are using innovative tools, methods, and systems to solicit public feedback, offering Americans more opportunities to participate in policy making while providing government with the benefits of their collective expertise and information. Openness strengthens our democracy and promotes honesty, efficiency, and effectiveness in government.

Much Ado About Nothing
by William Shakespeare
Much Ado About Nothing Love Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line) Line numbers correspond to the Riverside edition.
Quote #1
You will never run mad, niece.
No, not till a hot January. (1.1.91-92)
"Run mad" here refers to catching what Beatrice calls "the Benedick"—essentially going crazy for love. For Beatrice to "catch the Benedick," she'd have to be in love, which she says is as likely as a hot January. That is, "when hell freezes over." Famous last words.
Quote #2
Then is courtesy a turncoat. But it is certain
I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted; and
I would I could find in my heart that I had not a
hard heart, for truly I love none.
A dear happiness to women! They would
else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I
thank God and my cold blood, I am of your humor
for that. I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow
than a man swear he loves me. (1.1.122-130)
Note that both Beatrice and Benedick say they'll never love anyone. This little spar is likely saying "of course we'll never love each other." Invulnerability to falling in love is a point of pride for them both.
Quote #3
That I neither feel how she should be loved
nor know how she should be worthy is the opinion
that fire cannot melt out of me. I will die in it at the
Thou wast ever an obstinate heretic in the
despite of beauty. (1.1.226-231)
Benedick hates love, and he's known for hating beauty. Beauty can't move him to love, but perhaps some more meaningful trait in a girl (like how witty she is, and if she's named Beatrice) could move him.

Let me start by saying that I know this is going to upset some people, and I'm sorry for that. But not sorry enough not to post it.
I'm seeing a growing trend in Christianity regarding divorce. I'm not talking about the growing trend of Christians having divorces, which I'm seeing conflicting data on. I'm talking about the growing trend of Christians supporting divorces. I'm seeing more and more often that Christians are suggesting divorce as an option. To me, this is just appalling. Growing up, I don't think I ever heard anyone talk about divorce in any light. It was something talked about in whispers in very small groups and always as a disdainful practice. Now, I'm not suggesting we should go back to not talking about it. I'm in favor of communication. However, I am not in favor of this growing trend of thinking divorce is OK.
One of our largest topics for
fighting conflict (in the past) is that I (from her perspective) "want sex all the time". I have pretty hard time denying that allegation, because, well, it's true.
I see this theme a lot in my readings on message boards, blogs, Facebook, twitter, etc. Statements like:
"All he wants is sex"
"All he thinks about is sex"
"All he wants me for is sex"

Hi: Below is my Easter Egg Recipe. I would just amend it.
Leave out the yellow food colouring
Add a Tsp. or 2, (according to taste)
But beside that just follow the recipe.
For your info, parafin is NOT an edible product.
Just as a correction and for your information: while i do not put parafin in anything this is part of the food safety information:
So, it IS edible,,,just wont digest at all, giving no food value.

In the following video, Motley Fool health care bureau chief Brenton Flynn discusses two key takeaways he found after sifting through Intuitive Surgical's (NASDAQ: ISRG ) 2012 10-K report. He tells us how big the new market for single-site procedure kits could be, and how untapped that nascent market is at this point. He also notes a shift in the language that the company is using this year compared to last year. Last year, the report focused on developing patient value in its products, but this year Intuitive is also talking about value for the surgeons and hospitals. Brenton speculates that this might mean the company is finally addressing its bear detractors, who say that its surgical systems just aren't cost-efficient for hospitals yet.
Are stories of this demise greatly exaggerated?
Recently, some investors have questioned Intuitive Surgical's future. However, Intuitive Surgical expert Karl Thiel believes a visible path to long-term growth persists. Will Intuitive capitalize, or be crushed by unforeseen pitfalls? His report highlights all of the key opportunities and risks facing the company -- and includes a full year of ongoing updates as key new hits -- so be sure to claim your copy by clicking here now.

Pitting communities against each other bad idea
October 4, 2012 by admin
I taught at North High School the year before the $34 million was spent on rehabbing it. There was a drinking fountain in the hallway near my classroom that belched sewer gasses so foul it smelled as if the devil himself had vomited in the hall. The water drizzled out a thick, dark orange from corroded pipes. If you forgot to bring water to school, you went thirsty, as it was impossible to drink from many of the fountains. Bathroom doors lacked locks, sinks didn't drain, and some rooms boiled hot while others required coats during class time. Although North Denver did not have any pressing capacity need for this $34 million upgrade, our students now have a beautiful facility with functioning heat, air conditioning, plumbing and sports fields.
I am voting yes on 3A and 3B because students in DPS schools throughout our district need decent environments in which to learn. According to the bond improvements that are listed on http://bond.dpsk12.org/schools-details/ students at Skinner, for example, will be able to drink the water from all fountains once these improvements are made. Wireless technology will be installed throughout all schools to ensure blended learning options for all.
The opponents of this bond seemed focused on preventing choice in education. They are fixated on shared campuses and magnet programs. They are also outraged that families in Stapleton want to send their children to a high school close to home. The opponents say Stapleton families should drive five to six miles for their education. They say Stapleton kids should attend GW or Manual since there is room. Can you imagine the Northside outcry if Stapleton folks had prevented the $34 million to North High with the assertion we should be happy to send our kids to Manual or West, because these schools have capacity and are actually closer to NW Denver than GW is to Stapleton?
Pitting our communities against one another is not healthy nor will it ever win current or future votes.

By any definition, the Missouri Division of Child Support Enforcement is overworked and understaffed. But a new audit of the agency reveals that several options to collect child support from deadbeat dads are not being utilized. Despite the workload, there is no excuse for this lazy policy that impacts hundreds of thousands of Missouri single parents.
Over $1 billion in uncollected child support payments were reported here in the past five years alone. The bad news is that the state believes these figures will get worse before they get better. As a result, thousands upon thousands of children will be unable to sustain a modest lifestyle simply because some dad out there refuses to make court-mandated payments.
There are cases where the money for these child support payments simply is not there. But in many cases, the deadbeat dads know how slow the system operates and they use that knowledge to withhold payments. It's the kids who suffer from this flaw in the system.
One aspect of this new audit is truly frustrating. It shows that in over 175,000 cases, the deadbeat dads could not be located and therefore, payments were not forthcoming. I find it unacceptable that this information does not make its way to the proper authorities. If the state wanted to find these dads bad enough, I assure you they would be located in the overwhelming majority of cases.
But these problems always return to the issue of being overworked and understaffed. And these are real problems. Yet given the tight shape of state government's budget, don't look for any relief soon. That is bad news to the thousands of single parents awaiting a monthly child support check that often does not arrive.
The state unfortunately must turn to the private sector and hire contractors who can find these dads and increase collections. Fly-by-night collection promises advertised on television are not the answer. The state needs to hire a reliable and proven contractors to increase the collection rate which runs as low as 20 percent.
With Christmas around the corner, far too many single parents will face an uneasy and bleak holiday season all because some deadbeat dad ignored the law. It's the responsibility of the state to make every effort possible to generate these payments. And it's time for the excuses to go away and for results to improve.

Washington Wire: Jindal Lambastes 'Radical Left' For Keystone XL Pipeline Delays
The following was first posted on WSJ's Washington Wire blog.
By Neil King Jr.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal traveled to the Canadian Rockies to blame "blind leftwing ideologues" for the impasse over building the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline.
In all, the Republican makes 16 references to leftwing opponents to the pipeline in a sharply partisan speech before a gathering of Canadian oilmen, according to an advanced text of the address provided by the governor's office. He makes no mention of President Barack Obama, who will have the final say over the project.
"He's beholden to the left," a Jindal spokesman said of the president, in explaining why Mr. Jindal left him out of the speech. "This is a long-term issue with the left."
The two-term governor, who is widely considered a potential 2016 presidential candidate, says in the speech that his remarks will "completely destroy the arguments of the radical left in America" who oppose the pipeline, which would carry crude from Canadian oil sands in Alberta to U.S. refineries.
In sharper terms than many others in his party, Mr. Jindal portrays the Democrats as elitists who oppose all forms of traditional energy production and explicitly favor higher energy prices.
"There are no logical reasons to oppose construction of the pipeline other than an irrational liberal ideology that blindly and unscientifically opposes all forms of energy which they themselves do not deem to be sufficiently 'green' or 'renewable,' "Mr. Jindal says.
Environmental groups strongly oppose the pipeline, saying it will encourage further production of Canada's oil sands, which require huge amounts of water and energy to develop, and make it harder for the U.S. to move off fossil fuels. They also cite fears of major spills along the pipeline's route.

Have you ever felt the frustration at not being able to locate a website you wanted to check out, or find an email you found interesting, or remember an idea about the direction of the political landscape in post-industrial Australia? Or are you one of those desperate souls with home-made, buggy, or not-quite-perfect notes systems?
Time for Tomboy. We bet you'll be surprised at how well a little application can make life less cluttered and run more smoothly. More Info »
Official Website
Education & Reference, Office & Productivity
note-taking todo-manager getting-things-done notepad wiki notebook
Tomboy was added by blippe in
Mar 2009 and the lastest update was made in
Aug 2016. There is a history of activites on
Tomboy in our Change Log and Activity Log.
It's possible to update the information on Tomboy or report it as discontinued, duplicated or spam. If you want a nice
to put on your website check these out.
Installation instructions (for Windows users) tell you to use an updated version that does not exist in Windows form at this time.
Multiple programs have to be installed first.
I've installed all sorts of stuff on Linux and Windows. The problem is not me.
This is an increditably LARGE (code-wise) application with complex dependenices (MONO etc), that offers VERY LITTLE that a collection of TEXT files can't do.
Extremely bulky and useless, having probably only its looks as a pro, this application deserves to be erased from history.
Its a so-called "student" software, stuff that will be fiddled around and soon left in unfinished state. With small addition that its ugly.
Besides, it was re-written in C (as Gnote) and is much much lighter afterwards. But STILL primitive.
There is no "app" or "program" for Tomboy. You have to build it yourself, using XCode (make sure you download the right version), MacPorts (make sure you download the right version), "Git" (yeah, introduce yourself to that little gem).
Tomboy is supposed to be a list manager. All this work? For the ability to WRITE LISTS? I have spent hours screwing around with this Tomboy project, and it still did not build.
STOP! Do not give me stupid advice about how I can spend even more of my time to build this thing successfully. I believe that the software should work for me, and I should not have to work for the software. Tomboy is a waste of time for 99.9% of computer users.
The Mac version has not been kept up to date with development, lagging a good year and a half behind and preceding both 10.7 and 10.8.
So, don't bother.
Recently got Tomboy when I installed Ubuntu on an old laptop. Really impressed as a quick syncing notation system. Works cross platform, and best of all FREE! Just missing a smartphone app, and it'd be perfect.
Tomboy isn't a credible alternative to Evernote because it doesn't offer tagging. Tagging was considered by Tomboy developers a few years ago, and then rejected in favour of notebooks. With tags, Tomboy would be my favourite app. Without tags, it's difficult to organise notes. Notebooks are not nearly as useful as tags.
Tomboy was one of the most missed applications when I moved from Linux to Mac. It's good to see that it is now available to both Mac and Windows!

Brazil are often championed as the guardians of the 'beautiful game'. This is broadly for two reasons. The first is simple, they have won most World Cups. But it is the second that is more relevant; they tend to play the game on impulse, making it appear effortless. However, a combination of a more industrial than flamboyant squad – particularly in midfield – and the incessant and incredible pressure that they are under has made this Brazil side a little less Brazilian. Step forth Colombia. The joy with which they celebrate each goal coupled with their lucid brand of football makes them the people's choice. The locals will have to put aside the admiration that has grown for their South American cousins when the two sides meet on Friday.
- - -
Brazil need to improve – and fast
Brazil swept all before them as they cantered to the Confederations Cup in 2013 – and, in doing so, intensified the pressure to claim a sixth World Cup trophy. However, they have, thus far, flattered to deceive. There is, of course, an argument that they are growing into the tournament but if they do not improve against Colombia then they will almost certainly be eliminated.
- - -
Chile could not have lasted the course
While Chile have quite rightly been lauded for their effervescent approach to this World Cup, it would have been practically impossible for them to sustain their unique brand of pressing football for the course of the tournament. After 120 minutes of exhaustive football against Brazil they would have surely struggled to recover for a quarter-final against Colombia. Therefore, Brazil's progression is the good of the tournament.
- - -
Neymar's presence belies his youth
It is often easy to forget that Neymar is 22. The abandon with which he plays the game makes it also rather easy to forget the intense pressure on him to lead this Brazil side to another world title. It is to his immense credit that he is yet to falter, with his penalty against Chile another manifestation of his ability to embrace that pressure.
- - -
Suarez did Uruguay a double disservice
Luis Suarez's bite cost Uruguay dear. They lost their best player but that was only half of it; they then spent the build-up to their crunch clash against Colombia defending the indefensible. They looked a spent force at the Maracana – the last few days will have been emotionally taxing for the Uruguayan camp but they, unfortunately, brought that upon themselves.
- - -
Cavani, while not a leader, remains a supreme striker
A cursory glance at Twitter would lead you to believe that Edinson Cavani is a spent force. Granted he has not illuminated this World Cup for a man of his talent but he remains one of the world's most lethal marksmen. What has this tournament revealed about him? That he, unlike his striking cohort Suarez, is not a leader. He can fit into a system and provide goals but if the system is "broken" – or, in other words, if he does not have players of his calibre in and around him – then he struggles to make a mark. Give him a chance though and he will, nine times out of ten, bury it.
- - -
A brutal way to separate teams
Yes, there is no alternative – particularly at a World Cup – but penalties are a truly brutal way to separate teams. Even more so when the hopes of a whole nation are at stake. Penalties do not discriminate – it does not matter how well a team have played in the proceeding 120 minutes. Some say it adds to the tension but the losing team almost always feel a sense of injustice.

By Chris West, Jim Hunt, Kevin Bowen, Chevron Bangladesh; Gary Cole, Greg McEwen, M-I SWACO A combination of demanding well objectives in a remote and environmentally sensitive area prompted Chevron Bangladesh to achieve their drilling objectives by using an all-encompassing, fully integrated drilling fluid and drilling waste treatment plan for the Moulavi Bazaar (MB) and Bibiyana (BY) field development programs. This approach matched synthetic-base drilling fluid technology with a proven land-farming bioremediation treatment technology, which allowed the successful remediation of drilled cuttings within the limited time frame dictated by the local monsoon weather window. The primary objective was to successfully reduce the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) of the produced drilled cuttings to a minimum of 1% during the dry season. ...Read More »
Company initiatives show drilling industry is taking environmental commitment to heart
By Jerry Greenberg, contributing editor Being environmentally friendly is a great catch phrase, but it doesn't mean much if companies and people don't take that commitment to heart. This means not only making a commitment to protect the environment by using the best resources and programs available to reduce environmental hazards but also winning the hearts and minds of employees who take the commitment seriously. In that respect, there is perhaps no industry more aware of the environmental consequences of its actions and does more to mitigate environmental hazards than the oil and gas industry. Sometimes it seems that the environmental bandwagon hasn't been rolling very long, but some drilling contractors have been protecting the environment with rig-based initiatives and ...Read More »
Bigger coil sizes, hybrid rigs and RSS advances pushing CT Drilling to next level
Old ways may die hard, but in an era of declining, expensive and difficult-to-tap resources, new and unconventional methods of oil and gas exploration are challenging the status quo. Among innovations rising to the top of the wave is coiled tubing drilling, which, while not new, is evolving through recent advances in technology and design as a viable alternative to conventional, jointed pipe drilling in shallow reserves – and beyond. The method has been used successfully for the past decade in Canada, where up to an estimated 40% of wells are drilled with some form of coiled tubing (CT). Why CT drilling has been so slow to come to the continental United States, where it represents only 1-2% of all ...Read More »
Abbot Group chairman looks ahead following $2 billion First Reserve deal
By Jeremy Cresswell, contributing editor Early March saw the completion of a $2 billion deal that took the UK's Abbot Group off the London Stock Market and into private equity ownership through First Reserve, but with chairman Alasdair Locke and his management team still firmly in command. Mr Locke is regarded as a most skilful company builder. The manner in which he picked up KCA Drilling, placed it at the heart of what was essentially a shell company (Abbot) and capitalized on the classic brand's reputation and management team strengths to create Britain's only drilling company with real clout is a story of determination and calculated risk taking. "Abbot was my private company that acquired KCA in 1992," Mr Locke ...Read More »
Weatherford sensors track vibration to increase ROP, temperature changes for early kick detection
By Jerry Greenberg, contributing editor Weatherford's newest tool in its Hostile Environment Logging (HEL) MWD system is its True Vibration Monitor (TVM) sensor, which is focused on providing pertinent downhole information to monitor bit and BHA vibration, primarily lateral and axial vibration, as well as rpm. Drilling is all about moving energy from the rig floor to the bit. If the driller is getting the maximum amount of energy, the drilling process is optimized and obtaining the most footage possible. Any time vibration occurs in the drill string as a result of torque or drag, for example, the bit is being robbed of energy and rate of penetration (ROP) suffers. With TVM, the company is better able to identify what ...Read More »
Seismic while drilling keeps bit turning to right while acquiring key real-time data
By Jerry Greenberg, contributing editor Under development since 1988 and commercialized in 2003, the Schlumberger seismicVISION seismic-while-drilling service (SWD) enables operators to make seismic measurements during the drilling of the well. Operators can thus reduce uncertainty, optimize drilling decisions and improve safety. Previously, in most environments, this meant stopping the drilling process and running a wireline survey. Since its commercialization, Schlumberger has been working on enhancements, the latest of which is the capability to send real-time waveforms from downhole to the surface. Previously, wave-form information was retained in the tool's memory to be retrieved when the BHA was tripped out of the hole. Now, with real-time waveform capability, waveform data can be accessed through mud pulse telemetry to increase the ...Read More »
PathFinder pushes temperature, pressure limits with Survivor series of MWD/LWD
Compared with other sensor measurement tools such as wireline logging, logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools must stay downhole for extended periods of time and are subject to high vibration. While ratings of 25,000 psi and 350ºF may not be considered HPHT for some drilling environments, they are generally categorized as high pressure, high temperature for LWD tools, said Alan Rennie, operations specialist for PathFinder Energy Services. It's "fairly straightforward mechanically to get systems that will withstand 25,000 psi – there's just a design and manufacturing cost associated with it," he said. But mechanical failures are not the issue with improving HPHT ratings for LWD tools. The real challenges, he said, are with electronics surviving downhole in temperatures up to 350ºF. "There are ...Read More »
Halliburton's next-generation LWD sensors read faster, clearer deeper into formation
The InSite Generation, being launched by Halliburton's Sperry Drilling Services, is a new generation of LWD sensors and applications that provide deeper reading, higher resolution measurements with faster telemetry and greater reliability, said Blaine Comeaux, Sperry global marketing manager. Advanced miniaturization techniques have been used with the InSite Generation to reduce the number of components while increasing power. So far, three InSite sensors have been made available: the azimuthal deep resistivity (ADR), the azimuthal focus resistivity (AFR) and the IXO. The InSite ADR is a deep-reading (up to 18 ft) resistivity device that can measure in 32 directions around the borehole. "That means if we detect a change in resistivity, we can tell whether that's happening above us, below us, ...Read More »
INTEQ magnetic resonance LWD tool successfully measures T2 for the first time
By Jerry Greenberg, contributing editor Baker Hughes INTEQ's MagTrak LWD tool provides a comprehensive range of magnetic resonance data for the operator, including formation porosity, bound and volume, free fluid volume, permeability, hydrocarbon detection and T1 and T2 distribution spectrums. Because the tool is based on magnetic resonance technology, it does not require a radioactive source. Porosity measurement is not dependent on formation lithology. The tool, the first to measure T2 successfully, according to the company, is capable of delivering real-time T2 distributions. Measuring T2 results in significantly more measurements, higher resolution and more accurate information for interpretation. That aids decision-making to optimize wellsite efficiency, safety and hydrocarbon recovery. The real-time applications and benefits include identifying potential borehole problems by ...Read More »
Advances in MWD, LWD, SWD continue to give drillers ever-clearer downhole pictures
For decades, the industry has been chasing the "look-ahead" dream – being able to see ahead of the bit as we drill. Whether that's still an unfulfilled dream with current measurement-while-drilling (MWD), logging-while-drilling (LWD) and seismic-while-drilling (SWD) tools is up for debate. According to Schlumberger, its newest SWD tool, seismic-VISION, can send up to two seconds of partially processed stacked waveform data to the surface in relevant drilling time, allowing for a limited look-ahead potential. The primary technological breakthrough enabling the system was building a downhole clock accurate enough to measure milliseconds and rugged enough to survive downhole, the company said. At the same time that we're trying to look ahead of the bit, we're getting significantly better at looking ...Read More »

It is the purpose of this paper to present merely a clinical study of two cases without entering upon the voluminous and oft-rewritten literature of the subject.
Case 1.—Mrs. P. S., of nervous temperament, delicate from childhood, but subject to no special organic disease, married at the age of 26, and became pregnant within a few months. Nausea and obstinate vomiting developed early. Apparently nearly all nourishment taken was rejected; she soon became so much prostrated as to be confined to her bed. Her weight in a few weeks fell from 102 to seventy pounds. Local examination revealed the signs of an early pregnancy, a conical and very long cervix, no displacement or peri-uterine tenderness. Under treatment by rest in bed, careful regulation of diet, (most of the time an exclusive milk diet), bromide of potash, and oxalate of cerium, the vomiting was somewhat mitigated and nutrition maintained.

Feb. 10, 2013
Stony Brook, N.Y. - Senior guard Dani Klupenger tallied a team-high 14 points, while Jessica Previlon posted 10 points and five boards, but the Stony Brook women's basketball team suffered a 60-44 setback to Hartford at Pritchard Gymnasium Sunday afternoon.
Chikilra Goodman pulled down 11 rebounds as Stony Brook (12-12, 4-7 AE) held a 36-26 advantage on the glass.
Amber Bepko led all scorers with 20 points, while Ruthanne Doherty chipped in 14 for Hartford (16-8, 7-4 AE).
Klupenger and Bepko were named America East Players of the Game.
Coach's Reaction
"I thought we could have done a better job taking care of the ball. We will be ready to bounce back against Binghamton."
--Head Coach Beth O'Boyle
Turning Point
Stony Brook hung with Hartford for much of the first half and trailed just 29-22 at the break. The Hawks opened the second stanza on an 11-4 run, capped off by a three-point play by Katie Roth to take a 40-26 lead at the 14:54 mark.
The Seawolves did not go down easily. Teasha Harris tallied a putback off a miss by Sam Landers to cut the deficit to 12, 40-28, with 14:11 remaining in the game. Bepko missed a triple, and Previlon pulled down a rebound and dished it to Harris, who found Klupenger, who nailed her 100th-career trey in transition to bring SBU within nine, 40-31, with 13:45 to play.
Nikkia Smith committed an offensive foul on the next possession, and Sabre Proctor drove to the hole for two with just under 13 remaining in the second stanza as Hartford's lead dwindled to seven, 40-33.
Doherty responded with a lay-up, but Previlon scored a bucket in the paint to keep the Seawolves within striking distance, 42-35, with 11:40 left in the game.
The Hawks responded with a 12-5 run over the next seven minutes, which started with a Doherty lay-up and ended with the sophomore forward hitting a pair of free throws at the 4:48 mark, to take a commanding 58-40 lead.

Walk out to Winteron January 23, 2012 at
What a nice song that is. I'd recommend listening to it as you begin to read our new issue. That's right, it's Issue 29, everyone! Wow! We've come a long way! I think it's a pretty great issue, although slim. No worries, though – I suspect Issue 30 will be a fattie.
Enjoy, and, as always, please think about submitting something. A big hello to Jamie Hibdon, who joins us this issue.
In other news, I've been writing a series over at Andreas and Ashley's site, Pussy Goes Grrr, about Pokémon theme songs. So check that out if you're interested.
Also, congratulations to Skuds, whose first book dropped over winter break! It's fantastic, of course, but how else could it be?

It's relatively common to find debris from rocket launches in the waters off Cape Canaveral in Florida, but divers exploring the seabed recently uncovered artifacts.
Know where to spread your towel: Rio has some of the loveliest stretches of sand in the world, and these six, in the city and just outside, are among the best.
The coastal waters around Rio de Janeiro, where many Olympic water competitions will soon take place, are reportedly teeming with harmful viruses and bacteria.
Researchers are so far stumped as to what the colorful, bumpy little ball might be.
North America is home to tons of spectacular beaches that offer incredible surfing opportunities
In the annual America's Favorite Places survey, readers of all stripes evaluate hundreds of cities and towns across a range of categories, from the friendliness of the locals to the quality of the pizza.
Trips to the beach are standard fare for most summer travelers, but crowded stretches of sand can make vacations more of a pain than a pleasure.
Corals in remote and relatively pristine reefs fare little better overall amid global warming than those growing alongside heavily populated coastlines, according to research published Wednesday.

Servant Leadership at Work
Ronnie is one of the Collegiate 100 on campus, a select group of students committed to volunteerism and improving the community through mentoring and being positive role models for African-American youth. Queens is the first campus in Charlotte to have a Collegiate 100 chapter.
Ronnie is planning to graduate into a growth industry. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, social work employment is expected to 25% between 2010 and 2020. The median annual wage of social workers was $42,480 in May 2010.
Every student at Queens is touched by service learning in some way. But for Ronnie Compton Jr., service is more than a course requirement. It's a calling.
Although he came to Queens intending to study business or communications, he found he was better suited to helping others. As a freshman Ronnie volunteered as a Big Brother to a student from nearby Sedgefield Elementary. "It changed my life," Ronnie said. For one thing, he became a human service studies major.
He's now a junior and in his second year as a brotherly buddy to yet another student at Sedgefield. He regularly takes his little brother out to play or shop and has also contributed shoes and school supplies while fostering a relationship the boy's grandmother as well. "I want him to have a good childhood and to have what other kids have," Ronnie said.
Following His Heart
Pat Taft, coordinator of Queens' Center for Active Citizenship, said Ronnie's dedication stands out. "He goes above and beyond in all ways."
It's been an amazing learning experience for Ronnie. From the hard work of those he's encountered he's learned it's not about money or recognition. "It's all about making sure you are making a difference in someone's life... and making sure your heart is involved in whatever you do."
Ronnie plans to become a social worker and one day open a group home offering activities and summer opportunities to underprivileged children. While he puts a lot of his focus into his volunteer work at Sedgefield, he also serves as the chair of L.E.A.D. a peer mentor group providing transition support for first-generation college students and minority students in their first year at Queens.
- Ronnie Compton Jr.
Sincere Passion
Ronnie lives out Queens' motto -"Non ministrari, sed ministrare" or "Not to be served, but to serve" - every day, said Zach Thomas, director of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. "He goes beyond what is required. Ronnie is passionate and sincere about his service. He is one of the most humble students I have ever had the pleasure of working with."
Ronnie also involves himself with spiritual life at Queens. "I try my best to reach all people," he said. And by reaching people, he doesn't mean telling them what to do. Through his service and course learning he's learned that "helping someone is standing beside them and being there for encouragement."

Sorry this post is so late! If you have read the Hunger Games you will understand....I borrowed the book from a friend last night, picked it up this morning, and just finished it!!! IN LOVE!! I made my sister bring her kindle to dinner (she has the second and third book) and I am going to start the second as soon as I finish this post!!
My county has taken on common core this year; however, I am learning more and more about common core as the year goes on. I just finished the three day Common Core Academy and decided to get some different activities together/reading responses for my students. I am attaching the ones I have already made on here for free (YAY!!) But there are MANY more that I have in mind to make...those I will add into my writing unit. If you have already purchased that unit...you will just have to re-download it and you will have them for free as well :)
The ones I am attaching now will meet standards such as:
-Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on kindergarten reading and content.

can't stop carrying the skeletor
I bought this for my boyfriend, and he takes it everywhere with him. Useful tools and sleek design!
A bit big
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
To start off this is a very good every day knife. It is one of the only ones that has pliers, a good knife and a usable screw driver. All of the components seem to be very well made and it should last for a good long haul.
My only complaint about it is how big it is. I was hoping for something more along the lines of a key fob and it is closer to the size of two fobs length wise.
Overall a great tool, at a good price.
loves it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
this leatherman has been my friend for many years until i tried to clean it myself and wasnt able to put all the springs back in their place. so i got myself the exact same new one because it just is THE tool for everything and more. obviously it cant do everything. its a pragmatic tool that i never missed anything with. buy it!
Its pros and con's. Its pros and con's.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This tool is sharp!! Knife came very sharp. Minimal tools if you want a multi-tool item. It is heavy and has a clip if you want to clip it to a belt buckle. I say it is heavy. Its not heavy for the tools it has but is for a multi-tool item. I use it weekly. But I think there are better options out there. the knife is razor sharp. Truly. Cuts paper.
Step up
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I usually carry a Gerber Paraframe around with me. I wanted something that I could take with me that offered more than a blade, but didn't give me 45 other useless tools. This is the tool. I don't notice a bulge in my pocket, and it is light.
Great piece of equipment!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use this tool for so many things! Bought it a couple weeks ago and couldn't be happier! The knife comes super sharp too! Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a small useful tool.
in case on the scale
that is including 2etxra bits it comes with and a penny
on the scale
Minimalist Multi-Tool
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Mine now sits somewhere in the depths of Flaming Gorge, but I loved it while it was around. I really liked this because it is a straight-to-business model without all the extra bullsh*t you'll never use.
If you prefer your multi-tools equipped with a magnifying glass and a spork, this isn't the one for you.
Just what I wanted
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have worked as a river guide for a bunch of year now and have had and lost many multitools I love this one because it's a knife first. The screwdriver bits lock in and can't just fall out. The bottle opener is easy to use and it can be secured very well when needed with the caribineer. This is everything I wanted with nothing extra added.
Surprised how much I use this thing
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this multi. I initially bought it as a back up stashed in my car or pack. I now keep this in my pocket all the time. It has really come in handy for quick work and is so light you won't mind carrying . None of the bells n whistles, but all the basics.
Great Everyday Carry tool
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I just got the Skeletool a few weeks ago and love it. So sleek and light. It is easy to forget it is clipped to your pocket. Knife is sturdy and sharp. The perfect tool.
Leatherman Skeletool Multi-Tool
Love this knife!
I had one a few years ago, but lost it in a river. The new one I purchased came with a combo blade, so serrated on the back half, and straight edge on the end half. These will get just about anything done that you might need while out in the backcountry, and even around town!
Always Carry.
Big fan of the Skeletool and Leatherman products in general.
Having owned multiple Leatherman products and iterations, I can say that this is my 2nd favorite (1st being the Skeletool CX). The design is simple, intuitive and has all of your essentials: Screwdriver w/interchangeable bits, knife, bottle opener, belt clip, pliers & wire cutters.
This isn't overly fancy and overloaded with unnecessary items (do you really need itty bitty tweezers?) like some other multitools. It has the essentials and that's it (yes, bottle openers ARE essential), If you find that you need anything other than what's provided in this tool, you might want to look towards actual workshop grade tools and devices. I always carry my CX version on my and this one in the glove compartment of my car.
Highly recommended.
Always Carry It
From keeping it safe in my minimal climbing backpack to having it handy while backpacking and backcountry skiing, this thing is always with me in the outdoors. I like many snagged it because of its look, but as most Leatherman tools are it's always useful in a pinch. I also like that it is fairly minimal and very light as well. Highly suggested.
I use this everyday
This Skeletool is great. The blad stays very sharp even after rugged use on a daily basis. The pliers work great in every situation. I wouldn't own anything else to put in my pocket. I know this bad boy won't break down on me when I need it.
Lightweight, minimalistic, idiot proof.
I hadn`t the opportunity to test it intensively so far but the quality seems good (would like to know where it was manufactured)
The amount of tools is very minimalistic but that`s ok, i never leave the house without a Viktorinox "Forester" so both together form an unbeatable team.
Leatherman Skeletool
This is the special edition red that is attached to my backpack.
great multitool - man with skills
this is a great tool, and helps you get out of scrapes, save the day, or simply tighten a loose screw that you happen to discover. It has a great knife, that is fast to get to, much better than PST leatherman models that you had to open the tool, then get the knife out. also locks.... like i said... its a great knife.
I have broken the third jaw. twisting something with the jaw is not advised, it will snap the jaw off. but return them to leatherman, and they will help you out, and send you a new one. whats better than a great multitool? one with a warranty for 25 years.....
Is the blade on this serrated?
Is the blade on this serrated?
No, the main blade is not serrated, at least on mine anyway. But, from the photo above, it looks like it is..?
Not really a question - I just thought it...
Not really a question - I just thought it is worth pointing out that Leatherman is explicit about the blade being made from 154CM, not 420C - and 154CM is a significantly superior steel.
Good observation, it is 154CM, marked on the blade. Hopefully bc.com changes that spec, thanks to you.
They actually should not change it. The Skeletool is 420hc steel the Skeletool CX is 154cm. Just depends on the model and this one says only Skeletool.
Ahh - Brian is right. And right there is reason enough to drop the extra dough on the CX.
Do these come with a gift box? I'd like...
Do these come with a gift box? I'd like to buy a dozen or so for client gifts.
They don't normally come with a gift box but you can call their toll free number & ask to see if they're available: 800-847-8665 I believe you can add a gift box during checkout for a small fee.

|Ball State recognizes alum Tim Liddy, ASGCA
Ball State University recently recognized Tim Liddy, ASGCA, with its Distinguished Alumnus Award from the College of Architecture and Planning. Liddy accepted the award at the school's Muncie, Ind., campus.
The award is presented to, "selected alumni with 15 years or more of professional experience who have achieved positions of influence and national or international reputations in their fields."
Liddy meets all of these criteria and more thanks to his work first with ASGCA Past President Pete Dye on courses in the United States and around the world, as well as his continued success with Timothy Liddy/Associates, Inc., which formed in 1993.
Besides a long list of quality courses, including Top 100 rankings for designs in North America, Scotland and Israel, Liddy prides himself on the relationships built with clients over the years.
"Client relationships are the foundation of good design," he said. "Our number one goal is to provide the highest level of service to our clients and answer the particular needs of each project. The projects we are asked to address are challenging and complex, which demands that we assure open, trusting dialogue with our clients."
