Richard Koci Hernandez> Apps themselves are great and they have tons of power. I've found that they have even more power if you stack them on top of each other, or use one app over and over and over again. So that's what we are going to do. We are going to play a little bit around with something that I call app stacking. It's really fun and I'm going to show you what I did with this image. Straight-up image here and it's not me. It's not my style. I want to play with it, I want to app it. So I brought it into an app. I brought it into an app called ScratchCam, a great app, grunges it up really well.
Then I saved it to the Camera Roll and I brought it back into Camera Plus. I made it black & White, so I made another adjustment. Why? Because I am trying to get it to my style, to my feel, something that feels good for me. Still not quite there, right? So it's got a few more stacks, a few more layers to go. Then after that I brought it into an app called Pic Grunger, which adds another layer of grunge. So right now we've got two layers of dirt and grunge, which is probably two layers too few for me.
It probably needs a few more, right. So now it feels like somebody stepped on this photograph a few times, it was sitting in the street, which is where I want to be. That's my style. So we are already, right, one app, two apps, three apps, that's four layers of fun already. Now we are another layer. This is back into Camera Plus, using what Camera Plus is good at, right, so making it black & white again. So three times in Camera Plus. Finally, brought it into an app called Lo-Mob. Lo-Mob is an app that I love because it's got really wonderful retro borders and little bit of a texture that I like.
When do you stop? Sometimes you don't, sometimes you can go on and on and sometimes you know. In this instance I knew this was done. It was stacked four or five times, five or six times, six or seven times, who knows, but I was done. This really feels like something that's close to my style, something that I'm ready to share, something that I am ready for the rest of the world to see. So what we are going to do now is, I've just glossed over it. Now we are going to get in to actually taking an image from its raw state and stacking that puppy up and just bringing all the layers and bringing it to my style.
So I am going to grab one of the images that I shot in downtown LA. It's a reflection of City Hall in another building across the street. It's got this person in the foreground silhouetted, strong compositional lines going on here, but I am going to stack this. This isn't quite where I want it to be. So the first step in my stack is to take that image and bring it into Camera Plus. So I am going to go ahead and bring that image there.
So here it is. We are just going to hit the Edit button. Now we've got it. My first step is to crop it. Again, the great thing about this app is it has all of the features that I want, all right. So now it's square, and somebody might be saying that the image uncropped was decent, good, had all of the lines of composition. And that's true photographically speaking, but stylistically, it's not where I want it to be. And I played around with the crop of this image until it really felt right for me.
And so I found right about here, that this is really where I want to crop it. Okay, I am going go take back and click back on the scenes, because the next thing I am going to do is add a wonderful little feature here called Clarity. I don't know what it does. It just makes my image look way better, which is really where I want it to be. So now I've added a level of Clarity, I've cropped the image, we're still in Camera Plus, there's one more thing I want to do in here, is get it again closer to my style, right, and I am going to make it black & white.
I am going to pick the preset which they lovingly called Ansel, right, a little tribute to the wonderful photographer that was Ansel Adams. Now we've got this image, you can think about as being done. For me it's not done. We've got some more levels to put on this. So I am going to go ahead and save it. It's going to save it to the Camera Roll. It's not done. So I am going to go into an app called ScratchCam. Now ScratchCam is going to give us some scratches. So we are going to go ahead and go in there, we are going to go to our Camera Roll, and we are going to pick that image.
And the great thing about ScratchCam is it had a lot of levels. We talked about apps that are pretty basic; you just go in there and you press some buttons. ScratchCam have tons of control over different kind of textures, borderers, levels. Once you apply them, it also allows you to play with the intensity, which I think is good. The only way I found out about that wasn't reading the manual. It was playing with the app, which is essentially what I am going to do, is go in here and continue to play with this app. So I've created a little thing here called a Favorite.
And a Favorite is just something that allows me to start with this image somewhere where I like it, right. And I am going to show you the process of doing that. So we are going to go ahead and go to Scratches, and look, again, the beauty of this is that look it. The potential for how I can scratch this image is amazing. And I randomly picked one and I am already in love. I don't even want to press another button, I love this so much. But I am going to, because that's the beauty of playing. Now I love that too, right,. This is where you get to that point where you have to figure out what it is you love, what it is you like, what is it that really speaks to you? This is the part where you're looking inside, where you're really thinking, what is the story you want to tell with this image, right? So, for me this image, I want it to have a little bit more of a classic noir feeling.
So, I want it to be grunge, but I don't want it to be too grunge. So I think that this scratch here that I put on is really good. So the next option is Textures and Borders. Again, really wonderful amount of playfulness that can go in here. Ah! One, I feel like maybe I've never clicked on before that I absolutely love. What I love about it is there's just a little subtle border around it, that's a little irregular, so it doesn't feel so perfect. Sometimes for me, perfect is boring. A perfect sharp image, a color image, is just boring.
I want it to have a little bit more characters and that added a little bit more character. In fact, that added a lot more character. It added this huge scratch in the middle, which I absolutely love. So the last thing I am going to do is go to Colours. So I can look for a color here. There is all kinds of tints. There is just a normal black & white color here that I like. I'm done. I'm done with the edit. Now in this app what I would do is, I would just click on Favorites and I would save that. So a lot of this app stacking that you're doing, you are able to save presets, and sometimes saving presets will help you with some steps along the way.
So I've saved that preset. Maybe there's an image that I bring in later that I want to add that preset to, but I'm done. Added just about everything I want to this image in this app. Saving it to my Camera Roll. I've probably got a few more apps to go before I'm happy. Now one thing I want to do now for myself is maybe just bring it back into Camera Plus. Okay, let's bring it back in here, let's have a look at it, okay. Let's add the Clarity filter one more time, right.
Whoever thought, I could save it, I could bring it back in I could add the Clarity filter, add ten filters on an image that I had not thought about, right. No, I like that. There is a little bit, a little bit clearer, a little bit crisper, but maybe I am not happy. Maybe I am going to play off, just when I though I had it, Darken is better, right. So this idea of playing, this is real time. I'm trying to give you a real good example of what's going through my head and my heart and my mind as I work up an image.
So I really like Darken. I don't know that it needs another effect, but I am going to look. Maybe I want to Pinhole camera and just have a look. Sometimes it's about a look and a feel. I don't like that; it blurs the edges too much. So I'm not happy with that. I might look for another one. Let's go under Retro, let's go into Color, let's go into the general black & white. I think that's good. I think that's very, very, very close. Notice I said very, very close. It's not done yet. Somehow I feel like it's just not done.
The image is there; maybe I just need to put a frame around it now, right. So I am going to save this and I am going to open the app I talked about called Lo-Mob. What's beautiful about Lo-Mob is for me it has a lot of retro styles that I really like. Lo-Mob is an app, one of many, that puts a lot of frames or borders around things. So we are going to go ahead and open that image that I just saved to the Camera Roll. We are looking at our Camera Roll now. We're seeing three different versions already saved of this image.
Now we are going to bring in that last image and we've got Classic Vintage. We've got the 35mm Film Experimentation section. I love it. You can make it look like a slide. You can do all of these things. There's a section here called Through The Viewfinder, which I absolutely love. And there is a setting here called 6x6 TTV Noir, right. I mean, this is perfect for me. I added the filter. There it is, love it. I'm ready to save this image and be done with it.
Maybe now it's ready. It's ready for the world to see, it's ready to share. If I wanted to, and I want to show this because, again, I only found this little feature by playing. If I click on the image, there are all these other features that were hidden to me before. And I didn't know they were there, and all I had do was touch on the image. In fact, I can pinch this image and re-crop it a little bit if I want. I can turn on the Blur or I can bring up a little bit more contrast to the image.
So sometimes in apps you're going to find things by simply playing around, which is how I found this particular feature. Now it's done. I'm going to go ahead and save it, back to the Camera Roll. So here we are with the image right from Camera Plus. It's got a square format, it's black & white and it's got a Clarity filter on it. That's the first level of app stacking, right. Then the second level was to bring that image into ScratchCam, so that added a little bit of grunge to it, kind of this little gritty feeling that I wanted to it, but it wasn't done yet.
After that I brought it back into Camera Plus, added a Clarity filter to it, so Clarity filter twice, added another Black & White filter to it that added a little bit more contrast to it, and then finished it all off with another stack, with another app. So four different times, bringing it around, stacking these apps on top of each other to get the really look and feel that I was going for. So, this is my final image. This is my app stack.
I took some apps. I stacked them on top of each other to create something that I'm happy with, right. I broke out the box of crayons. That's what's beautiful about the iPhone; it's this new creative way to express yourself. I stack some apps. Apps are just crayons, right. I pulled them out, I played with them, I was coloring outside the lines, I just created something I was happy with. I'm ready to post this image on the refrigerator. I'm done with it. You need to find the apps, pull out that box of crayon, fill it with the apps that you like, get out there, color, have fun, be creative. That's what it's all about.

Khan: Mayweather is a Chicken, Avoids Me and Pacquiao
Amir Khan has called Floyd Mayweather Jr. "a chicken" who has avoided both him and pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao. Khan is hoping to face 'Money' in the near future, while a megabucks fight between Floyd Jr and Pacquiao has been boxing's holy grail for the last two years.
Khan says Mayweather Jr, who faces Victor Ortiz in Las Vegas on Saturday night, is terrified of losing his perfect unbeaten record, which currently stands at 41-0.
He told The Sun: "In my opinion, Mayweather is a chicken. He is doing everything to avoid me just as he did everything to avoid fighting Manny Pacquiao. I don't want to sound cocky or arrogant but I believe the real reason for Mayweather avoiding me is that he knows I have his number. Mayweather knows if he ever fights me his 0 will go.
"All Floyd does is pick fights that he knows he will win. I thought world championship boxing was about proving who is the best but if he keeps turning his back on me how can he still say he is the best?"
Khan has a potential mandatory world title defence against Lamont Peterson coming up, and says that could be his last fight at light-welterweight before moving up to welter and the likes of Mayweather and Pacquaio.
Amir claims that Floyd Jr isn't the only fighter currently trying to avoid him.
"I will fight anyone put in front of me but there seems to be a lot of boxers who talk a good fight but when push comes to shove they won't get in the ring with me," he added.
"Tim Bradley was offered fortunes to fight me for his IBF title but it never happened and now he has been stripped of his belt.
"Erik Morales was offered a fight against me but he is now saying he won't be ready for me until next year.
"I must admit it is all very frustrating as I try to unify the world titles. All I can do is fight whoever is put in front of me but there is an increasing small number willing to do just that."
Khan would have been Floyd's next fight.Comment by thatdudespits on 01-02-2013

My order was cancelled because "my contact info was incorrect". I had just placed an order right before that and it went through. So, they cancelled the order and when I called them it was out of stock. When I asked to be placed on a notification list for when it was placed in stock, they WANTED MY EMAIL PASSWORD! I could not believe it. So, they have failed to honor posted prices, canceled orders which were charged to the Circuit City card, and attempted to get my account password. I don't think I would believe this if I wasn't reading this.
Their customer service has really gone down hill. Their escalation department is a joke. If you want to actually receive the items you orderd for the price you ordered them, don't shop here. I am an attorney and am pursuing this, not for damages, but so that they will stop this nonsense. They are, by their own actions, driving themselves out of business. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Here is the big question. My friend is 63 years old and Heald College career center told him that they would help him find a job in Information Technology or Technical Support in Fresno after he graduated. He graduated on October 2011 and they have not helped him yet. He has gone on some interviews but for some reason he did not get these jobs. We are believing it might be age discrimination but we are wondering if Heald College career center is not helping him due to his age. He is in debt to the federal government for over $10,000.00. I am wondering what our solutions are and if we should consult an attorney or go to EEOC? Does anyone know about any class action lawsuits against Heald College? We are consumers and we bought these classes at Heald College through student loans so that my friend could "Get In, Get Out, and "Get Ahead" with his career.

SUBMITTED: Thursday, April 11, 2013POSTED: Thursday, April 11, 2013
Based on other reports about school career placement offices, your friend's experience isn't unusual. They can only do so much, and it's usually not a lot more than you can do yourself (e.g., searching the internet, etc.)
If your friend thinks he's been a victim of age discrimination with an employer THEN he should contact the EEOC. Don't expect a lot of help though. Employers are very crafty in selecting employees to avoid breaking the law.
I'm not sure what you hope to gain by filing a class action lawsuit...?

1) Shortcode for adding a post into a certain category doesn't work ie [category 8]
2) Text doesn't appear in the post
Can you help with this?
Thanks for your time
Is there anyway i can get a response on this?
I guess not
Can you provide me with more information? It works for me in my testing. What email client are you using? What version of WP and PHP?
(Also, this plugin is not my full-time job, nor even my job at all. I am the only person working on it and maintain it entirely in my free time. So please have patience when making support requests. Cheers.)
Hi Kat,
I appreciate that and great work honestly. I apologise for the haste - it's just a nice plugin and i'm sort of depending on it for a job.
There are a few items not working and rather than do this myself, i just wanted to see would you be able to rectify these before i start hacking.
1) I done a test from Gmail - just typed a few words and ran it and it put in an unmerciful amount of junk HTML
2) When you include an image AND text - the text doesn't appear - image takes over all precedent - it even takes precenent over the short codes
Thanks Kat and honestly nice work.
I would LOVE pull requests if you've got time. It's a huge help when others with tech knowledge can fix things, especially since the nature of this plugin makes it very hard to test on all possible configurations. So let me know if you decide you would like to do some hacking and I'd be happy to help with any questions. The GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/codebykat/wp-post-by-email
That being said, I've done some work trying to track down the image embed thing, and I think it's a bug with the underlying library (Horde), and the fix is to switch to using PHP's included IMAP functions, when they're available. So it's a fairly major bug. The HTML formatting might be something more straightforward.
Thanks for the kind words, and I apologize if I sort of snapped at you. I do try to at least reply to the requests here, but it can be hard to stay on top of and that gets frustrating. :)
Thanks Kat, appreciate your response. I'll see what i can do on this OK and if i can get to it, i'll get back to you.

Video: Satoshi Nakamoto Denies Creating Bitcoin
What transpired in the hours after Newsweek published an article claiming it had found the man behind bitcoin—to put it plainly—was as surreal as the crypto-currency itself's journey of recent weeks.
Surprise, plaudits and anger over the story, a ginormous helping of media criticism, a meal-driven choice (sushi) for a one-on-one interview, a live-tweeted scrum through the streets of Los Angeles, a denial from Satoshi Nakamoto to the Associated Press, a photo destined to enter the Meme Hall of Fame, and then a message from a Satoshi Nakamoto that appeared on an Internet message board, only adding to the mystery.
The AP posted a short video of part of its interview with Nakamoto, which is surely getting analyzed frame by frame for some kind of "tell." You can watch it below. He looks over papers, repeatedly says he has nothing to do with bitcoin, and incredulously asks whether "Leah" (Newsweek's Leah McGrath Goodman), wrote all this.
Midday Friday, Newsweek released a statement, saying it "stands strongly behind Ms. Goodman and her article."
It's hard to tell how this will play out. Is Nakamoto's disheveled, affable demeanor a great ruse? Did a venerable U.S. magazine get it wrong just as it triumphantly returned to print? Something else?

Retirement Homes & Senior Housing
Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. A nursing home may be a good choice if you need a higher level of care temporarily after a hospitalization, but it�s anticipated you will be able to return to home or another facility after a period of time. A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. Assisted living emerged in the 1990s as an eldercare alternative on the continuum of care for seniors for whom Independent living is no longer appropriate but who do not need the 24-hour medical care provided by a nursing home. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities.

ZOMBIE THREAD ALERT: This thread hasn't been posted on for a while.
schools for artists and info on the surf scene(4 Posts)
Yep, its one of those, I am thinking of moving to Edinburgh threads but please, please help me out. My daughter will be 16 when we move and she is on the gifted and talented register for art. She wants to go to university in Edinburgh to study art eventually and will need to get highers that help her to do this. I am only just working out the system in Scotland and previous threads have frightened me because they talk of deadlines to get into schools and catchment areas and I had no idea about any of this. So to get the ball rolling is there anywhere that you know of that is good for art that could help her achieve the grades she will need to get into Edinburgh? Also are there any surf widows whose husbands surf or woman who do who could tell us about the surf scene up there?
Hello from the central belt here in Scotland near the Forth, (waves).
I am sure you are checking out properties for sale in the free compilation of available listings, ESPC. I don't have a specific school to recommend art-wise though I'd ask the art school if there are particular feeder schools. Obviously if a particular school is oversubscribed there's a pretty broad selection in this region.
I don't surf but I expect you'll be looking at Dunbar for surfing, 27miles east of the City. Are you committed to Edinburgh itself or will you also include North Berwick and Musselburgh?
Up here the date of a child's birthday in connection with commencing school hinges on 1st March unlike English schools where 1st September is the key date.
So the older pupils in a class at my DD's state school will celebrate birthdays in Spring ie March and April. The younger pupils will be those born in December, January, and February.
In state schools pupils take the bulk of their Highers in S5 when they are 16. I am sure your DD is already preparing a portfolio. The Times will have listed the top performing schools. Did you know the head teacher at high school up here is often known as the Rector?
The autumn term begins in late August and summer terms ends around the end of June.
Apologies if you knew all this.
When looking at Edinburgh, do take a look at West Lothian, which is cheaper than the City, and served by good road and rail links, or if you are keen on surfing, East Lothian.
Thank you this is all very helpful and I didn't know any of these things as I am just starting all my research. I have so much to get up to speed with.
Me again well worth peeking at St Andrew's further north (where Prince William + Catherine studied!) for surfing.
Plenty of "incomers" from England round here, Edin always more international than other places. Real energy in Glasgow and lovely old city Stirling.
Top tip: wear layers when moving here it's at least 3 or 4 deg cooler than England!
All the best.

New Findings On Allen Hills Meteorite Point to Microbial Lifeby Nancy Atkinson
Scientists caused quite a stir in 1996 when they announced a meteorite had been found in Antarctica that might contain evidence for microscopic fossils of Martian bacteria. While subsequent studies of the now famous Allen Hills Meteorite shot down theories that the Mars rock held fossilized alien life, both sides debated the issue and the meteorite is still being studied. Now, Craig Covault in Spaceflightnow.com reports that a new look at ALH84001 provides "evidence that supports the existence of life on the surface of Mars, or in subsurface water pools, early in the planet's history." Covault says we can expect a public announcement by NASA Headquarters within a few days.
Research using a more advanced High Resolution Electron Microscopy than was in existence when the initial findings were made 13 years ago has provided the new evidence. Covault reported that the "laboratory sensors are being focused directly on carbonate discs and associated tiny magnetite crystals present inside the meteorite Allen Hills ALH 84001." The data reveal information that counters a "wide range of opposing theories as to why the finding should not be supported as biological in origin."
The new findings were reported in the November issue of the respected journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, the journal of the Geochemical and Meteoritic Society. The authors include Kathie Thomas-Keprta, Simon Clement, David McKay (who led the original team), Everett Gibson and Susan Wentworth, all of the Johnson Space Center.
Covault said the new work centers on what is called magnetic bacteria that on Earth, and Mars as well, leave distinctively-shaped remnants in the rock. These features test with a high chemical purity more like a biological feature than geological.
For more details, read the article on Spaceflightnow.com
Exciting! Stay tuned…
Magnetic bacteria? That can only mean ELECTRIC BACTERIA!!!1!11!! Because only ELECTRIC CURRENTS can produce a MAGNETIC FIELD!!!1!11!! And electromagnetism is 10^39 times stronger than gravity!!!1!!1!!
How much a positive result can improve a tripulated mission to mars?
The article in Spaceflight Now mentions that the rock sample with the alleged bacteria is 4 billion years old and was a part of the original crust of Mars. Doesn't that seem a little early for life to form? I certainly don't know much about this topic, but what a major discovery if it's true!! To think that the martian bacteria were very similar to our own is also a mind boggler!
Kawarthajon – Life arose early on Earth too, and and a straghtforward possibility for the similarity of Mars life and Earth life were that the life was exchanged by one of the panspermia (or transpermia) theories. This is a very exciting time.
You mean that all gravity in the Universe originates from electric bacteria through a z-pinch? LOL
@ Richard Kirk, thanks for elaborating on just how this new work relates to the original (disputed) findings published back in 2001. I was curious as to what new info on 'magnetic bacteria' now points to a biological origin. I managed to find a brief presentation of the new work by Thomas-Keprta et.al. ( http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC2009/EPSC2009-318.pdf ) that gives more detail about the recent paper in ScienceDirect. I agree with your 'don't get too excited' stance. Interesting but not 'proof' of biological processes.
@ IVAN3MAN, you forgot the crucial z-pinch and double layers. Tsk, tsk
Thanks for the interesting comments TD. The article said that the rock floated around for 16 million years. Do you really think that Bacteria could have lasted that long in space and still have been viable to start life on a new planet or moon?
@Richard Kirk
I agree even though it seems promising, it is not yet proof of real life. But it could give us a clue what to search for when we return to Mars.
Then again it is also nice to dream a bit that we finally did find life on Mars.
"a public announcement by NASA Headquarters" ?
Exit science, welcome PR (in support of manned space programs. Grrr).
As in 1996, this will make headlines; then if and when other studies account for a non-bio explanation, it won't.
Ah, well.

Middlesbrough Message Board
you are viewing a single comment's thread.view the rest of the posts
First time I've noticed the chat room to. Not sure about Champions League qualification but for the first time I believe Boro have a squad capable of big things. It's taken Mclaren a while but he built from the back and now has a cover player for every position who is at least Premiership class. Not many teams outside the top 3 can boast this sort of strength in depth.
GK Schwarzer - Jones
RB Reizeger - McMahon - Parnaby
LB Queudrue - Pogatetz
CB Southgate - Riggott
CB Ehiogu - Cooper - Davies
RM Mendieta - Morrison
LM Downing
CM Parlour
CM Boateng - Doriva
FW Hasselbaink - Yakubu - Nemeth
FW Viduka - Christie - Job - Graham
The vast majority of these players would get into a premier league team of some description and with the addition of one more midfielder (preferably left sided) we will be set for the season even if injuries occur again!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Interesting (well?) stuff reading through most of these 'dumb' messages...
....I CANT see why theres all this 'Geordie & Mackam' remarks coming from your lot, your practically North Yorkshire so 'YORKSHIRE' teams are YOUR 'Derby Matches' - try Leeds United or Bradford instead, thats more your neck of the woods.
....I mean come off it, Geordies and Mackams dont sound like a mixture of yorkshire pudding people and scousers!
We're nowhere near or could ever be as scruffy as you lot, have the severe drugs problems (Boro, Stockton, Redcar come straight to mind)boot ugly thick women who sell themselves for under a fiver, areas where the locals think they are nails because they have a skinhead & tattoos(Grove Hill, Grangetown - shows you lot dont get out of town much!) - your not a patch on any of us lot!
Whats all this shouting of 'EAR!!! EAR!!!'down in Teeside, its something that you always hear you idiots shouting? you lot cant even say 'CAR' properly!!
Why are you fellas all squeeky voiced? does ICI Wilton beltch out helium aswell as other chemicals that leave you lot deformed, ugly, unemployable, thick as fuck and the countrys breeding ground for chavers?
And big deal!!!! you finished above Newcastle last season, thats ONCE in HOW LONG???? ha ha ha ha ha was that your seasons 'Highlight' We had a terrible season that was worthy of relegation but we still didnt go down and you certainly didnt take 6 points from us, so shut up bitching about Newcastle United.
Newcastle are the 'ONLY' Premier North East club, granted Souness is doing a fine job in f*cking our team but its only a temporary problem, we'll soon be back on form!
Do your crowds match our 52,000 gates? NO
Do your fans sing any footy songs that have real lyrics other than 'Boro! Boro! and that stupid crap tune you all sing badly? NO
Are you a City thats growing bigger & better by the day and a place people want to be in? NO (although your clown of a Major you have and that dickhead from that Psyche shop seem to think Boro is so great - BBC3 The Shop)
Can you go for a drink in Middlesbrough without some scruffy weirdo trying to ponce a drink or some change off you? NO
Are you true North Easterners who eat, breath and sleep football? NO
Are 3 out of the 4 kids you've got to your teenage girlfriend actually yours? DEFINTELY NO!!
the list is endless.......
Anyhow, lets see if your going to fair aswell this season, I'll piss myself with laughter if you lots cock up and DONT finish above us again this season especially with the squad nightmares we've got at the minute.
So if you lot are that good lets see Boro finish 4th...cant see that happening somehow.
Its so plain and obvious YOU LOT ARE JEALOUS of the Geordies that why you slate them so much.
......I have more respect for the Mackems - they are our rightful neighbours and our proper Derby matches opposition.
Theres three good things about Middlesbrough 1) Parmos 2) Chubby Brown 3) The A19 to escape from the shithole!!!
...........cant wait for the onslaught of 'we won the Carling Cup'the other season and all the other crap messages in response to this, even if it does take most of you morons over a month to type a sentence.
Have fun & enjoy!!! (",)
............................and remember you southern smoggie idiots that Geordies & Mackems are PROPER NORTH EASTERNERS!

Well, well, you have been busy on the Boro forum, Haven't you? Just letting us know how how envious of you we really are eh?
Ahm oot on tha toon t'neet reet? I think that's French for "I may be out with my friends socialising in the local Jazz bar" - or something like that. Oh our lass just told me it means "I'll be in the toilet all night, chocking the chicken with my favourite wank mag". She's a bloody wonder our lass. Don't know what I'd do without her.
Oh yes - we once won a cup y'know. But we shouldn't bleat on about that because it wasn't 40 years ago.
C'mon Boro. Lets see if the literate Geordies can take another season of bollock mediocrity, being ripped off and deluding themselves that they are still one of the biggest clubs in the Premiership. It would be nice to see both them and Sunderland partaking in a Championship "real derby".
A Yahoo! User Aug 6, 2005 19:41 Flag
But aren't I a proper north easterner?
ah well so if you are so fuckin good as you mention ie all the lovely things about newcastle, why can you only get a #$%$ like souness in to do the job.
oh poor shearer out of europe, presented with a golden fuckin zimmer.

Cory Palka
Captain III
Captain Cory Palka is an
Hollywood Division
accomplished thirty-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police
Department. In March of 2016, Captain Palka humbly and auspiciously
returned to Hollywood Area as the commanding officer for his fourth
successful tour in Hollywood since 1988.
In June of 2013, Cory Palka was promoted to the rank of police
captain and assigned to 77th Street Area, an assignment perfectly
suited for a man with a passion and talent for cultivating strong
relationships within both the community and the department. Captain
Palka's relationship-based policing style, combined with his solid
rapport with community groups and government leaders, has created
an environment where community members and business owners feel
safe to naturally thrive to their fullest potentials. He brings to
the table energy, engagement and experience.
Captain Palka's roots in Los Angeles began in 1966, when he and his
family settled into the Mar Vista Gardens Housing Project located
in Pacific Area. Captain Palka fondly recalls that decade in his
youth as the "framing years" of his life. He attributes his
father's positive and profound influence as the incentive to engage
in community service, volunteerism, civic responsibility, selfless
sacrifice and hard work.
A student athlete, Captain Palka graduated from Venice High School
in 1981 and attended West Los Angeles Community College followed by
California State University, Sacramento where he received a
Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice. With promising life
experience and education supporting him, Captain Palka began his
career as a Los Angeles Police Officer in July 1986. In a
fortuitous twist of fate, Captain Palka returned to the Mar Vista
Gardens community as a determined foot-beat officer in the early
1990's and was resolved to making a difference in the very same
community where he lived during his formative years. He quickly
gained community praise for his work, and with the resulting
optimism and conviction of a young police officer, Captain Palka
decided to further his education, earning a fellowship grant to the
University of Southern California (USC) as part of a City of Los
Angeles-USC Fellowship Program. In May of 1992, he received his
Master's Degree in Public Administration from USC.
Captain Palka eventually promoted to sergeant in the LAPD and was
recognized as supervisor of the year in West Valley Area. Later,
after promoting to the rank of lieutenant, he was recognized again
as supervisor of the year in Rampart Area where he worked both as a
watch commander and as the Officer in Charge of the Rampart Area
Gang Impact Team. He has held assignments in a wide range of field
operations and has worked at police stations in the LAPD's West,
Central, and Valley Bureaus spanning three decades. In 2011,
Captain Palka participated in LAPD's response to the Occupy Los
Angeles movement at City Hall while assigned to Central Area. He
also spent three years at Internal Affairs Group as an investigator
in the Workplace Investigations Unit and was a major-case
investigator. Prior to achieving the rank of captain, Palka spent
18 months as an Adjutant to the Commanding Officer,
Operations-Valley Bureau (OVB). Palka largely credits that
experience for accelerating and refining his leadership skill-set
which is dependent on strong internal and external relationships.
Through his various assignments all over the City, and his
requisite relationship-based policing style, Captain Palka has
helped facilitate organizational development, economic improvement,
enhanced quality of life, and reduction of crime in all the areas
and communities he has worked.
Adding to his formal institutional and organizational education,
Captain Cory Palka has attended several prestigious schools in
police leadership; the most notable being the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) National Academy (Class No. 246). In the Summer
of 2015, Captain Palka attended the Senior Management Institute of
Police (SMIP) in Boson, Massachusetts and studied at Boston
University. Captain Palka is also a graduate of USC's Delinquency
Control Institute (94th Class), and LAPD's West Point Leadership
Development Program. He has also been an adjunct instructor at
College of Canyons in Valencia, and has taught in LAPD's DARE
Program. At 77th Street Captain Palka partnered with Dave Anderson,
Chief Executive Officer of Learn to Lead to deliver leadership
development throughout the command.
Captain Palka's participation in professional organizations
includes membership in the FBI National Academy Associates, the
International Association of Chief of Police, the Latin American
Law Enforcement Association and the LAPD's Command Officers
Association. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mozart, Harbison and Schumann
The cultivated musician may study a Madonna by Raphael, the painter a symphony by Mozart, with equal advantage. –Robert Schumann, Journal of Poetry and Thought
We conclude our season with three masterworks: two for string trio with piano from the past, and one, for string trio by a local master, played for the first time in Boston. Each of these shares the distinction of being great among works for small forces by masters of the epic. Each, as well, displays relationships to earlier works from which it is a descendant.
Mozart's First Piano Quartet (1785), born of a publisher's commission, in the dark and stormy key of G minor used earlier in his Symphony No. 25, actually cost Mozart the completion of the project because it was received as too difficult to play and not quite cheerful enough for popular taste. Today this quartet for string trio and piano, the first great effort in this form, is heard much as Schumann described the later Symphony No. 40 in G minor—"full of Hellenic grace"—beautifully proportioned, and elegant. Mozart's Second Piano Quartet considered less challenging for listeners, although equally difficult for players, was produced on his own terms for a virtuoso pianist, and free of market approval.
Harbison has identified his new String Trio (2013) with the great Mozart Divertimento in E-flat major, K.563, a six-movement work that also inspired Beethoven's E-flat String Trio of the same size. Harbison calls the earlier work "the once and future king" of the genre, acknowledging its "stretches of great learnedness and patches of casual geniality" and how it "exults in the sufficiency of two or three voices." Where it departs most from the Mozart example is in its abundance of duos and expansive solo cadenzas, for each of the instruments and pairs, as well as sections where all three move in perfect rhythmic unison or staggered unison, i.e., in canon. In doing so he seems to exult in the "game" of chamber music—unity through imitation and agreement—while exploring the freedoms of being left alone, or of recalling that sometimes "three's a crowd!"
Schumann's Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op 47 (1842), which lives still in the shadow of his great Piano Quintet written earlier that year, was created for performance by his wife, Clara, who by 1848 toured with the work to St. Petersburg, Berlin, Prague, and Vienna. In structure, its first movement has much in common with Haydn's practice of writing a slow introduction and Beethoven's practice of returning to that introduction in the middle of a fast movement. The second movement is in the style of a Mendelssohn Scherzo, in the dark key of G minor! (Schumann is known to have almost idolized Mendelssohn.) The third movement is the one audiences love best—tuneful, heartfelt, and simply textured. At its mid-section it turns inward looking to the point of being Beklemmt (i.e., choked with emotion) as Beethoven specifies in the Cavatina movement of his Op.130 string quartet. Thereafter the simple tune of the opening returns, this time in the viola part, ending the movement on a hopeful note. The last movement opens with a running fugato theme similar in character to the opening of the last movement of Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata. Melodic episodes and extensive canonic imitation, of which Harbison partakes, follow before returning to the energetic fugato to close.

The Chevrolet Volt has been a bit of a lightning rod in the
automotive industry and political arena. The vehicle was first shown as a concept
back in early 2007 and went into production in late 2010.
The Volt can
travel from 25 to 50 miles on battery power alone before the gasoline
engine/generator kicks in to keep the vehicle moving. All of this
technowizardry comes at a steep entry price, however. The Volt's base MSRP is $41,000
before a $7,500 tax credit.
Because of the Volt's high price tag and GM's past bankruptcy,
the Volt program has come under a lot of scrutiny. Rush Limbaugh was a vocal
critic of the Volt, noting
in July 2010:
not going to recommend people go buy an electric car that gets 40 miles to a
charge. That would shoot my credibility. It takes three to four
hours to charge the thing, 40 miles to the charge. And then there's a
backup gas tank that gives you 375 miles. So
who's kidding who here? And all this is 41 grand. This is the most
expensive Chevrolet outside a Corvette.

Bob Lutz, former
vice chairman and "Car Czar" for General Motors, is fighting back
at the critics in a new book due out next month. Lutz, who identifies himself
strongly with conservative ideals, had some harsh criticism for some of the
more vocal critics in the media according
to Motor Trend magazine:
towards the Obama administration is so intense among the right-wing talk-show
hosts that any vulnerability, however tenuous, must be attacked and blamed on
'socialist influence', with no regard to truth or to the damage these reckless
claims can make to GM, an American corporation, to the dedicated and
hard-driving members of the Volt team, and to a now-misinformed public that may
be steered away from a transportation solution that would fill their needs perfectly.
Lutz went on to say that these people hurt the credibility
of the Republican Party. The outspoken Lutz doesn't take too kindly to people
criticizing the hard work that went into developing the Volt, and feels that
the Volt is just the beginning of a new wave of advancements in automotive powertrain
The skeptics, the pundits, the GM haters, and those who detest lithium-ion as a chemistry will all be dragged, however unwillingly, to the same conclusion. Volt
paved the way; Volt was the first with the extended-range EV concept; Volt
demonstrated the will and the technological capability of General Motors.
And to all the doubters, opponents, critics and skeptics… [including] Glenn
Beck, I say: 'Eat your hearts out. Volt is the future'.
The Chevrolet Volt (EPA classified as a compact) is
definitely not for everyone – its high price of entry (before tax credit) makes
it a non-starter for many people. And in many cases, sub-$20,000
compact cars that can achieve 40 mpg or greater on the highway and roughly 33 mpg combined
make better buying options. Likewise, hybrids like the Prius, Fusion,
and Sonata
offer more room than the Volt, excellent fuel economy, and much lower price
However, for those that like to stay
away from gas pumps as much as possible, but still want the added security
of a gasoline backup when needed, the Volt makes a credible alternative to
all-electric vehicles like the Leaf.
