From The Wall Street Journal:
Dorothy Rabinowitz: Chuck Hagel's Defenseless Performance
Nothing could have harmed the nominee for secretary of defense more than his own confirmation answers.
By DOROTHY RABINOWITZ
It shouldn't have been surprising that the Senate hearings to confirm Chuck Hagel as the next secretary of defense ended up shedding light on much more than this nominee and his qualifications. The trumpets had sounded long in advance on the main claim for Mr. Hagel—i.e., that his experience as an enlisted man, a combat veteran, had endowed him with special expertise not given to others, on matters of war, on our nuclear capacity, the size of our defense budget, a capacity to take the measure of Iran and North Korea.
Mr. Hagel had come by this wisdom, we were informed, because he had been at the front, seen men die, and knew, as we were frequently reminded, what the ordinary soldier thought and felt. All of this, the argument ran, gave him a unique capacity to head the Defense Department.
Could rational men and women seriously credit such a claim? The credential has been touted even by Mr. Hagel's devout partisans on the left, delirious over the prospect of so conspicuous a voice of antiwar sentiment as secretary of defense. And of course by the president who chose, by this nomination, to make the dreams of those cadres come true.
The same argument was made for Mr. Hagel in the confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, though it would come less and less often as events took a decidedly disastrous turn for the nominee. Here was an affair sizzling with exchanges that seemed to come straight from a skillful Hollywood script of the old school—the kind whose most improbable scenes feel like gut-wrenching reality.
And reality it was. Here was Mr. Hagel explaining, after hard thought, that he had really meant—when he referred to the current leadership of Iran as "a legitimate government"—that this government had been recognized by the United Nations. "Almost all of our allies have embassies in Iran," he added, in a comment eerily reminiscent of the logic that caused Sarah Palin to tell an interviewer, "You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."
Matters didn't improve when Mr. Hagel announced, regarding Iran's nuclear capacity, that he supported the president's strong position on "containment." But the administration's policy is not, as Mr. Hagel apparently had yet to learn, containment—it is to prevent Iran's development of nuclear arms.
Nudged by a note handed him by an aide, the nominee corrected himself and declared that in fact the U.S. doesn't have a policy on containment. This was one misstatement too many for Carl Levin—the committee chairman, a Democrat and supporter of Mr. Hagel's nomination—who ended the discussion with his own terse correction: "We do have a position on containment, and that is we do not favor containment."
Now and again as the nominee, under questioning, repeatedly renounced his own former positions, wished aloud that he had edited himself, a Democratic senator or two expressed unhappiness with the harsh tone of the questions put to this veteran who had seen war. Connecticut's Sen. Richard Blumenthal murmured his dismay that a man who had served the country had to endure the kind of inquiries Mr. Hagel had.
Not all that many decades ago, it would not have been considered exceptional that a senator or congressman had served in the military. The halls of Congress were packed with Americans who had seen war. It says something about the political class today that the experience of having served in the military is such a rarity that it is seen, not infrequently, through a distorting lens. In no other period in the country's history would it have been considered unseemly, indeed ungrateful, that a combat veteran nominated for high office should be forced to face aggressive questioning.
Mr. Hagel's status as a martyr to a host of enemies—neoconservative conspirators, right-wing Republican war mongers, the list is long—has been building for a long while. He had, like a handful of Vietnam era veterans turned politicians, returned to a society drenched in the ideology of the 1960s and '70s, in whose view the United States was the chief enemy of humanity. He would become over the years a darling of the left, favorite dove of the Sunday talk shows, cherished above all for his identification as a Republican. Thanks to him, there could be countless reports that brought word that "even the Republican Chuck Hagel said"—whatever he said, it was warming to the hearts of the left.
Still no amount of right-wing conspiracies against Mr. Hagel could have done to the former Nebraska senator what his own astoundingly disastrous performance did. One that revealed far more about his lack of capacity for the job, his confusion, than anyone could have predicted—a display not without its saddening aspects. The vote count shows that Mr. Obama will still probably have his choice of defense secretary, but it will not come without cost to the reputation of this administration.
Of the parties to the hearings, none emerged with as much profit to show for themselves than the Republican interrogators who revealed the character and history of the man the president had proclaimed his ideal candidate to head the Pentagon. In this sustained effort they were remarkable—lethal, fully equipped, and driven by passion clearly beyondpartisan malice. It has been a long time since Republicans showed a fighting temper of this kind, unyielding in its contempt for what the choice of a Hagel represents about core values like the national defense, our stance regarding the most dangerous of our enemies in the world.
If the Hagel hearings had done nothing else—they had in fact done everything else in their revelations, if not the final outcome—they had, in this time of postelection dreariness, shown Republicans come roaring to life. They had been moved to do so by Mr. Obama's nomination of Mr. Hagel—a gift to the Republicans, though perhaps not to the national defense.

OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. - A ski patroller at Alpine Meadows ski resort near Lake Tahoe was air-lifted to a Reno hospital Monday morning after he was buried in an avalanche, a resort official said.
According to a statement from Amelia Richmond, Public Relations Manager at Squaw Valley (which owns neighboring Alpine Meadows), the patroller, a male, was caught in the avalanche at about 10:45 a.m. Monday in the resort's Sherwood Bowl area.
The man's medical condition is unclear as of this writing. The resort would not release the identity of ski patroller or whether he survived his injuries, said spokeswoman Amelia Richmond in a follow-up email to The Union newspaper.
The patroller, whose age was not included in the statement, was part of a team of patrollers performing routine snow safety in the area, which was closed to the public at the time.
"The avalanche was triggered by an explosive charge that had been thrown by a senior member of the ski patrol team," Richmond said. "The patrol team members were positioned in an area that was, based on historical experience, believed to have been a protected area. The ... avalanche broke much higher and wider on the slope than previously observed in past snow safety missions."
The patroller was found within one minute and uncovered within eight minutes from the time of the avalanche, Richmond said.
After uncovering the buried patroller, members of the ski patrol team immediately began CPR. The patroller was transported to an ambulance and then transported via CareFlight helicopter to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno.
The patroller has 28 years of experience on Alpine Meadows' professional ski patrol, Richmond said, and he routinely performed snow safety in this area.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the patroller and his family and also with the Alpine Meadows family, at this time," Richmond said.

Google Nexus 5 vs LG G2
0. phoneArena 11 Nov 2013, 06:01 posted on
And so begins the reign of the latest Nexus smartphone, the aptly named Google Nexus 5, which like its predecessor, has that killer one-two punch with its affordable cost and impressive set of hardware. As we all know, though, the Nexus 5 reads very similar to another LG-made smartphone – the LG G2. Comparing the two together, it's obvious that they share many commonalities, but they're also very different...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Nexus 5 FTW..
No cons from me for the price it's been sold..

2. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Both great phones, unfortunately the Nexus 5 suffers from the small battery syndrome.
4. NexusPhan (Posts: 625; Member since: 11 Jul 2013)
I have no problems making it though two days per charge so far on my N5. 4-5 hours of screen on per charge is typical. 7 is not out of the question tho. I think the battery has been phenomenal. Exceeded all of my expectations.

14. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Differs to usage pattern obviously, but the average at XDA is 4hrs SoT when the G2 pulls 6, and the former is not enough for the heavy user to get through the day with Now!, full sync and 4G connection.
Whether most still gets through the day somehow doesn't change the fact that when others upped their battery game - much needed on LTE - Google somehow stayed 2012 on that area. The SD800 SoC is far more expensive than some extra battery, so price point isn't really the issue here. Google just doesn't want Nexus devices to be more than a developer gadget.
24. NexusPhan (Posts: 625; Member since: 11 Jul 2013)
By that logic, the Moto X and HTC One are nothing more than a developer gadget because they have smaller battery capacities than the N5. The N5 battery size is more that good enough as it stands. The fact that it's half the price of the other guys is just an added bonus.
25. MobileCaseReview (Posts: 242; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I have both phones and use it for work with heavy usage. Unfortunately the N5's biggest draw back is definitely the battery life. It literally will last half of what the G2 performs so far per my experience. With LTE and Google Now and so much search functionality being integrated into almost every part of the OS (it's constantly running even in the phone dialer), it definitely needs the extra juice to back it up. If you're a moderate user (and yes, the definition is always debatable), it shouldn't be a problem to get through 11-14 hours worth of use daily. Great phone none the less.
21. harvardale (Posts: 46; Member since: 22 Jul 2011)

Well, I 450 for the 32 gig including shipping and taxes and 500 for the G2 including shipping in taxes. 50 dollars isn't much savings at this point lol.

and i just realised LG uses many things similar to samsung, especially the Ui and the keyboard.
10. marbovo (Posts: 658; Member since: 16 May 2013)
Probably LG is boosting the device on benchmark programs( Like almost every OEMs)
15. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Yup benchmarks are faked. Nexus 5 is near perfect in terms of not lagging and it beats the G2 in gaming performance.
Has anyone at XDA figured out how to disable the benchmark faking without custom roms so we can get real scores?
Or maybe Kitkat "killed "some benchmark scores like custom roms do to offer a better users experience.
18. marbovo (Posts: 658; Member since: 16 May 2013)
Sorry, I didn´t get what you say about killed some benchmark
27. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Why do you need real scores? If it runs the S800 and has 2gb of ram it's exactly the same in hardware performance. Nothing to benchmark.
And if it runs iOS 7 and had a less than 720p display either one would smoke the iPhone 5s.
It's not hard people, twins are still like 98% the same 30 years later despite leading completely different lives and that is with genes that can change.
This is hardware and it doesn't evolve like genes sometimes do.
Therefore the Nexus 5, Z1, G2, etc will all perform the same if you push them to the same limits and if they have the same rom. The Note 3 will be slightly ahead because of the 3gb of ram.

19. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
Apart from the boosting, there a known issue with all the Nexus line: when they come out some they do with the latest Android version, and at that time the benchmark tools are not ready for it when people review them getting lower scores than they should. Some months later the benchmark apps get updated and the scores go up in the Nexus too.
It happened with pretty much every Nexus, but it was extremly noticeable with Jelly Bean (that changed a lot of internals for optimization) and the original Nexus 7
Bottom line> don't put a lot of trust on the benchmarks for the Nexus. If you know the SoC performed well on other phone, that's how it will do there.
20. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Nobody on the phone sites will do nexus 5 real world performance vs a G2 like game FPS and encoding. I would guarantee you the Nexus 5 is equal/better in everything.
6. bloodline (Posts: 706; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
g2 runnning stock 4.4 = winner
7. NexusPhan (Posts: 625; Member since: 11 Jul 2013)
I would sure hope it wins at double the cost....
36. zecks420 (Posts: 6; Member since: 12 Nov 2013)
It's not double the cost. The 32GB nexus 5 was 450 with tax... My LG G2 32 GB was 520. No contract. So 70 bucks is not that big of a difference. I would rather have the battery and Infrared port and better camera for the extra 70 bucks. Plus I actually think stock android is too plain. I like some of the customizations that the G2 lets you do with android. Plus the video is much better at 60fps. I also think the screen looks better on the G2. All of that is worth the only 70.00 to 100.00 dollars more. The LG G2 is much cheaper than most other 32GB phones at only 500-520 outright.
42. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Its $400 for a 32gb nexus 5. Enjoy your G2 it is unlikely you will ever see android kitkat.
53. Turbocomppro (Posts: 8; Member since: 19 Nov 2013)
And what can kit kit do that 4.2.2 can't? The G2 is already butter smooth. My G2 hasn't crashed or freeze since day 1 (4 weeks ago). I really don't see the need. Can u even name 1 feature 4.4 have that I can't get in 4.2.2?
54. E.S.1 (Posts: 297; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)

I'll take the Nexus 5 please. I just wish it had a better camera
16. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
It's an interesting battle. The Exmor RS is very good in daylight on the G2, the IMX179 on the Nexus 5 comes close but it's often too warm in color reproduction, dynamic range is slightly inferior too.
Indoors and in low light however it's the other way around, the N5 is much more capable, pulling ISO150 @1/15 when the G2 goes for ISO300 @1/15, the IMX179 producing much more detailed shots. It is more inconsistent in color balance though.
Quite the difference between the two Sony sensors. It appears the G2 is near where the sensor and lens can be pushed where the N5 could still see major improvements in SW, but it's sensor looks the more capable all around. There's already a mod that increases speed and quality @XDA, but the official update is coming too
17. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 3718; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Battery and camera are li'l drawbacks as compared to G2, otherwise Nexus 5 is best.
22. CX3NT3_713 (Posts: 2275; Member since: 18 Apr 2011)
G2 clear winner imo...
26. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
The cold coloured screens look so much better IMO. All screens should run cool instead of going for the natural yellowish whites that are supposed to be the right calibration. Looks disgusting next to a cooler looking screen like in this video.
Oh well, like the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s I am sure you will get used to it. Just don't compare them side by side.
29. Bioload25 (Posts: 213; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
I didnt understand why did the google nexys 5 score a lot worse than the G2 in Quandrant and Antutu benchs,because they have the same hardware,and there's a difference of above 12000 points on Quadrant and 9000 points on Antutu...that doesnt make sense
30. _PHug_ (Posts: 444; Member since: 11 Oct 2011)
The G2 is better.
The Nexus 5 is cheaper because it's the lesser product.

46. iBananaScoop (Posts: 13; Member since: 28 May 2012)
Went for the G2 (should arrive tomorrow) mainly because I wanted a contract and the deals are more or less identical here in the UK. If you want to pay the full cost of the phone up front, when it comes down to price, then the N5 is obviously the winner. But on contract it's a new game and it all comes down to little differences. The better camera and battery is honestly the only thing that has swayed me so far since there really aren't many real life comparisons between the two phones which shows one is completely better than the other.
47. coolwave (Posts: 1; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
In my opiniion, both phones are on different league. Nexus 5 powered by google and G2 by LG. ( Manufacturer is same ). Lets not argue on price as both have different brand values.
Technically, G2 beats Nexus 5 mainly in Battery ( 3000mAh vs 2300 mAH ), Screen size ( 5.2" vs 4.95 " ), Sapphire glass used on camera lens ( same glass as used by Rolex ), Camera ( Rear - 13 MP vs 8 MP , Front - 2 MP vs 1.3 MP ), Multi focus camera, FM Radio available in G2. Not talking of other hardware like Chipset and memory. But yes Nexus is missing main softwares provided by LG like Quick Remote, knock on, Hi fi Sound, Audio Zoom, Plug and Pop, answer me, Quick translator, Live zoom, Video editor, gesture, portable outlook, application link, file networking.
For sure difference in operating system.
Rest is personal choice again. But than see other phones also like gionee, sony
48. Reeyawn (Posts: 65; Member since: 21 Apr 2013)
I went with the G2 and I must say that I didnt' regret it. After having the Nexus 4, I realized that I didnt want to get the Nexus 5 due to its small battery capacity and less featured camera. Also, here in my country(Philippines) the price of the Nexus 5 16GB is almost the same as the 32GB G2. Both are great phones but I'd take the G2 anyday.

The Nexus 5 is a simply unblieveable phone, never mind the price, and easily comes in the top 10 smartphones of today. When coupled with it's cheap as chips price point, you have a device that is too good to be true, but in this case it actually is true! While the G2 may have the superior camera and slightly better performance, I do not believe for one second that this is justificaiton for the extra cost over the N5.
And FYI, to see just how well the N5 performs, read below:
Taking the 3D Mark benchmark as an example the Nexus 5 scores excellently, coming in at 9th place with the other 8 top ranking devices costing twice as much or more. The top ranking device is the Note 3, scoring (on average) 17804 points. The Nexus 5 currently has an average of 16039. If you work this out into percentages, the Nexus 5 has 91% of the performance of the Note 3, and the note 3 costs £350 more! So that's £350 for a 9% increase! Worth it? Arguably the Note 3 does have a larger screen, more features, better camera, etc, but it is still hard to justify the price difference.
And bear in mind the fact that Google have yet to realease the first update that will fix many of the bugs and issues that N5 users have found so far, which as we know is almost guaranteed to increase these scores slighly.
The LG G2 actually scores lower than the N5, only hitting an average of 15,000 points.
FYI, for the Apple fans out there, the new Ipad Air comes in at 15th place scoring 14826, which is actually 8% LOWER than the Nexus 5. And the Ipad Air is the highest scoring Apple device, even beating the 5S. Now how much do new Ipads cost these days again...?
Think about this, while phones may offer more performance, nowadays it is only gaming or heavyweight app performance that we really need the extra processing power for isnt it? The general OS use is all the same now. =)

I like both but nexus camera and battery lowers it a little but prices are different everywhere. But if it didn't involve pricing g2 wins fair and square but its ui is so ugly lol i hope it gets kitkat or you could always root and get the google edition rom or cynagenmod

LG Optimus G2 is definitely better package than Nexus 4 although both share almost similar hardware.
If price is the concern, I'd rather take HTC One, Galaxy S4 or Sone Xperia Z. Both pack larger battery and camera.
Afterall, all will get Kitkat 4.4 update eventually but probably not that soon.

Basically they are the same in specs with the exception of course the battery and camera. I have both and the g2 from carriers gobbles up the ram because of the bloat ware. Normally about 65 to 75 percent. The nexus runs full tilt 40 percent. They are both lightening fast. If you don't mind the lag on the g2. I love the LG UI but I can't stand all the crap carriers put on the phone that make it slow down. Pure Google is the way to go if you want a snappy fast device with a lot less load on the ram and. Cpu . This is just my opinion... But I have had every new device from all makers in the lag 6 months and feel some what qualified to speak this... Thanks for listening.

G2 is an awesome phone. First phone I have ever had that I will keep. It is very weird trying to use an IPHONE after the G2 or even the MOTO X (another keeper). The IPHONE is prehistoric in every sense of the word and way to small.
I will have a nexus 5 soon. Will be interested to see which i prefer.
The winner stays.
Great website!

I got the G2 only because my carrier had a black friday deal on them and did not promote the nexus 5 as much. Didnt even have one to show. Coming from the GNex my natural progression woulf have been to the nexus 5. But i love the nattery in the G2, enjoy the phone so far. Missed a stock Google phone though, had to get use of the extras LG put in the phone.

It's a good time to be Darby Roggow.
The Tiffin University men's golf coach has two big events coming up. This weekend, his Dragons will compete in the NCAA Division II regionals for the second-consecutive year.
Then in August he will lead a squad of Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference golfers - including three of his own players - to Scotland for a match-play tournament at St. Andrews.
Let's start with the near present.
The Dragons, coming off a fifth-place finish and a fourth-place finish at a pair of Great Lakes Regional Tournaments, were selected as one of 80 teams to make the NCAA regionals.
TU will play the Central/Midwest Regional in Wisconsin starting Monday.
Roggow said he expected good things from this group, but had reservations coming in.
"Going into this year, we lost to graduation three really good players," Roggow said. "I knew we were gonna be young, and I knew we had a lot of talent, but it was a matter of, will we actually execute."
Tiffin has, even if player Corey Martinez said it did take a little time.
"That's our goal to get to (regionals), and we knew we had the talent to get there," Martinez said. "It's great that we performed the way we knew we could. We started off a little bit weak, and we were lucky to turn it around, and I knew we could."
At a fall tournament preview for GLIAC schools, Tiffin finished eighth. Two weeks later at the GLIAC Championship in October, things went better for the Dragons, as they finished third. TU led the tournament most of the way.
"We struggled down the last nine holes, but I think that might have been one of the best things that happened to us long-term, because after that, it was like 'we don't have to be afraid to learn how to win.' It's tough to go wire-to-wire in a 54-hole event. We played 45 holes awesome. We played five holes not-so-great."
As the season has progressed Roggow has seen some big performances from a team that he said rarely uses the same lineup.
In the Purgatory Regional in early April, Tyler Maranville and Jon Klein each shot two-day scores of 144, tying for eighth in the 31 team event. Martinez was only five strokes off that pace.
"It's been the same six guys, but we've been playing who's hot," Roggow said. "The emergence of Corey Martinez this spring I think has been huge for us. Jon Klein, who's a senior, who I've always said is one of the most talented kids I've ever had, he is playing like a senior leader right now. His mental maturity over the last month and a half has just been amazing. We've spent a lot of time working on that stuff. Tyler Maranville ....is arguably one of the top five players in the region. He's a couple of putts away from being stupid awesome."
"Depth," said TU player Andrew Bollinger about the key to the team's success. Bollinger shot a 153 at the event. "Just the top four scores being really consistent, and having two low scores, and two more consistent low scores are helping the team."
It's something Roggow said you need to be successful in Division II. Roggow has been the Dragons coach for 13 seasons, a period that stretches back to TU's NAIA days.
"It's been fun, but it hasn't come easy," Roggow said of the program's transition to Division II. "I remember our first tournament, we went out and shot five over par. And I thought, 'hey, we're pretty good.' And the leading team was 20 shots ahead of us.
"I thought to myself, 'we've got a lot of work to do.'"
The Dragons have done that. Klein said they can get even better.
"We haven't peaked yet, and that's kind of the whole goal that we've had," Klein said. "We plan on getting there, and that's always the ultimate goal; that's the final stage of what we can do at the amateur level."
Whatever happens in the next few weeks, some in the TU program have big things coming this summer. Martinez, Klein and Bollinger are three of 10 GLIAC golfers who will travel with Roggow to play a Scottish team at St. Andrews.
"We're over there for 10 days," said Roggow, who will serve as the coach for the GLIAC squad. "Five days of practice, two days of competitive golf. It's a Ryder Cup format against the Scottish club over there at St. Andrews.
Roggow said he was approached at the Golf Coaches Association about the trip, then got a call from the USA Athletes International about coaching the group.
"It's a great opportunity, and I think it's nice that your peers recommend you for something like that," Roggow said. "And then have the opportunity to lead select players in the GLIAC, I mean, I feel like it's a really big honor."
The players said they also felt that way.
"It's unbelievable," Martinez said. "It's a once in a lifetime chance, and I was just glad that Darby asked me to go. Everybody's pretty excited, and it's great we get to represent the country."

Archaeologists are working alongside firefighters to help them identify and avoid sites that may be in the path of containment lines or recently exposed by the Weber Fire.
The 8,930-acre fire is burning six miles east of Mesa Verde National Park, a trove of archaeological sites that date back to the ancestral Puebloans who made Southwest Colorado their home from A.D. 600 to 1300.
The sites are not confined to park boundaries; rather, they are scattered throughout the region in similar densities, said Kay Barnett, an archaeologist at Mesa Verde.
�There are a lot of things that can and do and should occur following the fires,� she said.
Archaeologists serve as resource advisers to fire crews, helping them locate cultural resources and avoid disturbing them while sawing through timber or bulldozing a fire line.
�Obviously, human life is going to come first,� Barnett said. �But avoiding the archaeological sites is what we�re out there to do if possible.�
Mesa Verde had one archeologist helping firefighters Tuesday on the Weber Fire, she said.
Wildfires can expose new archaeological sites never before documented. They also can further expose pre-existing sites.
�Oftentimes, new sites are discovered because of the loss of surface vegetation,� she said.
At Mesa Verde, it is common practice for archaeologists to accompany firefighters working to contain wildfires in park boundaries. New sites are usually left in the ground. Sometimes protective measures can be done to prevent erosion and help preserve newly exposed sites.
�Erosion control is the biggest measure following the fire, as far as archaeological sites go,� Barnett said.
Archaeologists helping fire crews are certified to do the work.
�I�m glad someone�s paying a little bit of attention to the cultural resources.� Barnett said.

A gorgeous compassionate boy who loves with all he can give. He is sweet and a wonderful lover. Although he may be insecure, his passion and ability to love just make him all the more irresistible. His lack to be able to commit only makes him loved and cared about even more than he already is by the girl who loves him. He is loved by many but mostly by one, the girl who loves him not only wants the best for him but understands his hesitancy to be in love. He is smart, loving and intense. He is amazing.
Braxton, I love you.

The cutest sweetest boy in all of existance. He will make you feel like you are floating on air and look at you like you hung the sun in the sky. He is shy at first but then when he opens up he is the wildest weirdest person on earth, he is clumsy in normal life but incredibly good at sports. He is a total lacrosse player but one who can also surf and snowboard, the hottest sports of course. Braxton is a keeper because even though he makes you feel like a princess and treats you like one he knows how to make you feel other things to. He is a fantastic kisser and once you have kissed him once you never want to stop. He is someone to hold on to.

Things are starting to get interesting. Indie rock, that catch-all term that really denotes nothing other than a new generation's alternative rock, is broadening its reach, incorporating twists in genre and new stylistic bents, and morphing into a music that defies easy categorization. That denotes a healthy state of affairs, a flexibility and open-mindedness, and a willingness to stare down genre classifications.
Perhaps no young band is more emblematic of this new liberal approach to indie rock than Rubblebucket, the Vermont-born, Brooklyn-based eight-piece outfit currently bubbling under and threatening to explode into the mainstream any day now.
The band headlined a bill Tuesday in the Rapids Theatre in Niagara Falls before an ebullient and enthused – though far from sold-out – house. Those in attendance – the all-ages show did indeed seem to bring a few generations to the Rapids, though twentysomethings clearly formed the majority – didn't seem to be overthinking things too much. If Rubblebucket married psychedelia to vaguely African rhythms, threw in a dash of ska, and then presented the whole thing as danceable art rock, well, no one paused to scratch their head and wonder how they were expected to react. They simply danced, hooted, hollered, sang along and embraced singer and frontwoman extraordinaire Kalmia Traver when she hopped off the stage and deigned to boogie with the masses down in front.
Much of Rubblebucket's electrifying set drew from its most recent album, "Omega La La," a collection the assembled had clearly familiarized themselves with. The group's just-released EP, "Oversaturated," was also heavily featured, and again, the crowd members appeared to have done their homework.
It's tempting to say that Rubblebucket is all about singer Traver – the way she moves, her Bjork-like melodic interjections and flights of vocal fancy, She's the very definition of charismatic, and clearly a focal point, a charming entryway into the music itself.
But there's much more to the story than that. Indeed, Rubblebucket is a band most deeply concerned with rhythm – the manipulation of it, the dividing of it into polyrhythms, the sectioning of it into grooves. Messing with meter – or doing the exact opposite, by establishing a metronomic, repetitive pulse that can become its own sort of trancelike groove – is Rubblebucket's metier. Bearing this in mind, it should be acknowledged that Tuesday's show was as much about the interplay between bassist Jordan Brooks and drummer Dave Cole as it was about the eclectically sexy doings of Traver. "L'homme," "Worker," "Oversaturated" – all were propelled by the rhythm section's relentless lock-step.
A hats off is required for the horn section as well – trumpeter and band founder Alex Toth and trombonist Adam Dotson, joined on occasion by Traver on baritone saxophone, brought elements of soul, funk and island music to the psychedelic world-beat stew.
Speaking of world beat, opener Reptar, an Athens, Ga., quartet, borrowed freely from African and Caribbean traditions, but blurred the edges consistently by marrying those traditions to the "anything goes" indie rock ethic. This made for some serious excitement, as the group brought elements of Talking Heads' seminal "Remain In Light" album to the table, and then interpreted those elements like one imagines it might sound if the Flaming Lips were to cover a tune by Johnny Clegg & Savuka. Strange, wholly unexpected, and pretty wonderful.
Walking away from the Rapids Theatre in the wee small hours Wednesday morning, one felt the overwhelming sense that indie rock is spreading its wings, becoming both more daring and more musical. Which suggests we're in for a wild ride. This should make us smile.

Johnny Cash
was one of the most imposing and influential figures in post-World War II country music. With his deep, resonant baritone and spare percussive guitar, he had a basic, distinctive sound.
didn't sound like Nashville, nor did he sound like honky tonk or rock & roll. He created his own subgenre, falling halfway between the blunt emotional honesty of folk, the rebelliousness of rock & roll, and the world-weariness of country.
's career coincided with the birth of rock & roll, and his rebellious attitude and simple, direct musical attack shared a lot of similarities with rock. However, there was a deep sense of history -- as he would later illustrate with his series of historical albums -- that kept him forever tied with country. And he was one of country music's biggest stars of the '50s and '60s, scoring well over 100 hit singles.
, whose birth name was J.R. Cash, was born and raised in Arkansas, moving to Dyess when he was three. By the time he was 12 years old, he had begun writing his own songs. He was inspired by the country songs he had heard on the radio. While he was in high school, he sang on the Arkansas radio station KLCN.
graduated from high school in 1950, moving to Detroit to work in an auto factory for a brief while. With the outbreak of the Korean War, he enlisted in the Air Force. While he was in the Air Force,
bought his first guitar and taught himself to play. He began writing songs in earnest, including "Folsom Prison Blues."
left the Air Force in 1954, married a Texas woman named Vivian Leberto, and moved to Memphis, where he took a radio announcing course at a broadcasting school on the GI Bill. During the evenings, he played country music in a trio that also consisted of guitarist
Luther Perkins
and bassist
Marshall Grant
. The trio occasionally played for free on a local radio station, KWEM, and tried to secure gigs and an audition at Sun Records.
finally landed an audition with Sun Records and its founder,
Sam Phillips
, in 1955. Initially,
presented himself as a gospel singer, but
turned him down.
asked him to come back with something more commercial.
returned with "Hey Porter," which immediately caught
' ear. Soon,
released "Cry Cry Cry"/"Hey Porter" as his debut single for Sun. On the single,
as "Johnny," which upset the singer because he felt it sounded too young; the record producer also dubbed
the Tennessee Two
. "Cry Cry Cry" became a success upon its release in 1955, entering the country charts at number 14 and leading to a spot on
The Louisiana Hayride
, where he stayed for nearly a year. A second single, "Folsom Prison Blues," reached the country Top Five in early 1956 and its follow-up, "I Walk the Line," was number one for six weeks and crossed over into the pop Top 20.
had an equally successful year in 1957, scoring several country hits including the Top 15 "Give My Love to Rose."
also made his Grand Ole Opry debut that year, appearing all in black where the other performers were decked out in flamboyant, rhinestone-studded outfits. Eventually, he earned the nickname of "The Man in Black."
became the first Sun artist to release a long-playing album in November of 1957, when
Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar
hit the stores.
's success continued to roll throughout 1958, as he earned his biggest hit, "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" (number one for ten weeks), as well another number one single, "Guess Things Happen That Way." For most of 1958,
attempted to record a gospel album, but Sun refused to allow him to record one. Sun also was unwilling to increase
's record royalties. Both of these were deciding factors in the vocalist's decision to sign with Columbia Records in 1958. By the end of the year, he had released his first single for the label, "All Over Again," which became another Top Five success. Sun continued to release singles and albums of unissued
material into the '60s.
"Don't Take Your Guns to Town,"
's second single for Columbia, was one of his biggest hits, reaching the top of the country charts and crossing over into the pop charts in the beginning of 1959. Throughout that year, Columbia and Sun singles vied for the top of the charts. Generally, the Columbia releases -- "Frankie's Man Johnny," "I Got Stripes," and "Five Feet High and Rising" -- fared better than the Sun singles, but "Luther Played the Boogie" did climb into the Top Ten. That same year,
had the chance to make his gospel record --
Hymns by Johnny Cash
-- which kicked off a series of thematic albums that ran into the '70s.
The Tennessee Two
the Tennessee Three
in 1960 with the addition of drummer
W.S. Holland
. Though he was continuing to have hits, the relentless pace of his career was beginning to take a toll on
. In 1959, he had begun taking amphetamines to help him get through his schedule of nearly 300 shows a year. By 1961, his drug intake had increased dramatically and his work was affected, which was reflected by a declining number of hit singles and albums. By 1963, he had moved to New York, leaving his family behind. He was running into trouble with the law, most notably for starting a forest fire out West.
June Carter
-- who was the wife of one of
's drinking buddies,
Carl Smith
-- would provide
with his return to the top of the charts with "Ring of Fire," which she co-wrote with
Merle Kilgore
. "Ring of Fire" spent seven weeks on the top of the charts and was a Top 20 pop hit.
continued his success in 1964 as "Understand Your Man" became a number one hit. However,
's comeback was short-lived as he sank further into addiction, and his hit singles arrived sporadically.
was arrested in El Paso for attempting to smuggle amphetamines into the country through his guitar case in 1965. That same year, the Grand Ole Opry refused to have him perform and he wrecked the establishment's footlights. In 1966, his wife Vivian filed for divorce. After the divorce,
moved to Nashville. At first, he was as destructive as he ever had been, but he became close friends with
June Carter
, who had divorced
Carl Smith
. With
's help, he was able to shake his addictions; she also converted
to fundamentalist Christianity. His career began to bounce back as "Jackson" and "Rosanna's Going Wild" became Top Ten hits. Early in 1968,
proposed marriage to
during a concert; the pair were married that spring.
Also in 1968,
recorded and released his most popular album,
Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison
. Recorded during a prison concert, the album spawned the number one country hit "Folsom Prison Blues," which also crossed over into the pop charts. By the end of the year, the record had gone gold. The following year, he released a sequel,
Johnny Cash at San Quentin
, which had his only Top Ten pop single, "A Boy Named Sue," which peaked at number three; it also hit number one on the country charts.
guested on
Bob Dylan
's 1969 country-rock album
Nashville Skyline
returned the favor by appearing on the first episode of
The Johnny Cash Show
, the singer's television program for ABC.
The Johnny Cash Show
ran for two years, between 1969 and 1971.
was reaching a second peak of popularity in 1970. In addition to his television show, he performed for President Richard Nixon at the White House, acted with
Kirk Douglas
The Gunfight
, sang with
John Williams
the Boston Pops Orchestra
, and he was the subject of a documentary film. His record sales were equally healthy as "Sunday Morning Coming Down" and "Flesh and Blood" were number one hits. Throughout 1971,
continued to have hits, including the Top Three "Man in Black." Both
became more socially active in the early '70s, campaigning for the civil rights of Native Americans and prisoners, as well as frequently working with
Billy Graham
In the mid-'70s,
's presence on the country charts began to decline, but he continued to have a series of minor hits and the occasional chart-topper like 1976's "One Piece at a Time," or Top Ten hits like the
Waylon Jennings
duet "There Ain't No Good Chain Gang" and "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky." Man in Black,
's autobiography, was published in 1975. In 1980, he became the youngest inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame. However, the '80s were a rough time for
as his record sales continued to decline and he ran into trouble with Columbia.
Carl Perkins
, and
Jerry Lee Lewis
teamed up to record
The Survivors
in 1982, which was a mild success.
The Highwaymen
-- a band featuring
Waylon Jennings
Willie Nelson
, and
Kris Kristofferson
-- released their first album in 1985, which was also moderately successful. The following year,
and Columbia Records ended their relationship and he signed with Mercury Nashville. The new label didn't prove to be a success, as the company and the singer fought over stylistic direction. Furthermore, country radio had begun to favor more contemporary artists, and
soon found himself shut out of the charts. Nevertheless, he continued to be a popular concert performer.
The Highwaymen
recorded a second album in 1992, and it was more commercially successful than any of
's Mercury records. Around that time, his contract with Mercury ended. In 1993, he signed a contract with American Records. His first album for the label,
American Recordings
, was produced by the label's founder,
Rick Rubin
, and was a stark, acoustic collection of songs.
American Recordings
, while not a blockbuster success, revived his career critically and brought him in touch with a younger, rock-oriented audience. In 1995,
the Highwaymen
released their third album,
The Road Goes on Forever
. The following year,
released his second album for American Records,
, which featured support from
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
. His VH1 Storytellers outing was released in 1998, and in the spring of 2000,
Love, God, Murder
, a three-disc retrospective focusing on the major songwriting themes dominant throughout his career. The new studio album
American III: Solitary Man
appeared later that year.

Tebowing; slang. language of origin- ESPN. definition: 1) the act of striking a particular one-knee down kneeling pose in celebration of completing any task which by no specific means the individual in question should have rationally been able to accomplish themself without divine intervention. 2) a manner by which a person can non-verbally declare themself to others as an overhyped participant.

With the Broncos playing the Patriots in the divisional playoff game this weekend, I don't foresee much more Tebowing this season. And thank God for that.

7 Celebrity Movie Deaths We Enjoyed Way Too Much
Jennifer Lopez-Jersey Girl
When Jennifer Lopez dies in the first fifteen minutes of Jersey Girl I think audiences are supposed to feel something like sadness. But after years of hearing the tantrums and demands and general entitlement, it's hard not to relax in the few seconds of silence after her passing. Even better, her death isn't dealt by a killer but a tiny child.
In a bold stretch of artistic license, Jennifer Lopez opted to make her last second of consciousness look like maybe she's just as likely to sneeze as die. The fact that Ben Affleck is her husband in the movie only enhances the delight when you consider that he accidentally and indirectly is responsible for killing her. The only thing that could make this scene any more enjoyable is if the baby's umbilical cord unexpectedly wrapped itself around Ben Affleck's neck and choked him out.
Tom Cruise-Valkyrie
Audiences never anticipated that they would see an American made movie set in the 1940s with a German hero. They also never anticipated that they would cheer when that hero was shot in front of a firing squad of Nazis at the end of the film. Valkyrie created a tremendous moral conflict for German moviegoers in particular because they were forced to choose which they hated more: Nazis, or Tom Cruise.
For a country that loves putting up with the nonsense from American stars, they draw a fat line in the sand when it comes to Scientology. Germany as a whole was unwilling to let Valkyrie shoot at the Bender Block where the actual Colonel Stauffenberg was killed, specifically because of Tom Cruise's involvement in the film and the thetan infecting his brain.
As begrudging as they were to see Tom Cruise portraying one of Germany's favorite heroes, they must have felt some gratification in knowing that history demanded he be executed by the end of the film.
Dane Cook-Mr. Brooks
Early on in his career, Dan Cook did a bit about the moments when the middle finger isn't enough of an insult, and how the middle combined with the ring finger could be a lot more effectual when the situation demanded it: The Super Finger. In other words, he took an idea created by someone else, already infused with a deep implications and significance, then altered it slightly into something more confusing before claiming it as his own. This seems like a nice analogy for Dane Cook's entire career.
5 minutes in the mirror, every morning.
All of his stadium appearances, merchandise sales and TV appearances are born on the backs of other comedians who were around long before he stumbled into popularity and gutted the soul from their jokes.
There are a lot of reasons to hate Dane Cook, so it's particularly enjoyable to see him murdered on screen. I would equate it to the joy you might feel thinking about an arena packed with people all giving Dane Cook the Super Finger and him mistaking it for praise.
"You can't fuck with the truth and I appreciate that you would indicate that to me with a flash of the [Super Finger]. If someone were to ask me what is so important to me about the SU-FI and how I relate to it, I'd have to say that whenever I see the SU-FI being displayed by people from all walks of life, and throughout the world it reminds me of just how lucky I am to have such amazing fans." -Dane Cook

[Right now I'd planned for us to be at the park, but instead Ivy fell asleep in my arms and so I thought I'd take advantage of that nap but soon the mail man would interrupt and then the boys would be scrounging around in the fridge for lunch and before I know it Ivy is awake and shaking garlic salt all over everything. I swear I am still breathing it in.
So I sent them outside to eat freeze pops and of course they are also filling up the pool and neighbors are over to play nerf guns. I washed dishes and packed snacks for the park. (We'll still go, believe me there is a Starbucks on the way, we will still go.)]

Blackwell boosts Warwickshire challenge
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Warwickshire will hand Ian Blackwell his LV= County Championship debut in the Division One clash with struggling Middlesex at Edgbaston.
The all-rounder, signed on loan from Durham last week, fills the void left by New Zealand spinner Jeetan Patel and is included in a squad boosted the availability of Chris Woakes, who returns from England Lions duty.
Middlesex have replaced Tom Smith and Andy Balbirnie with Ravi Patel and Tom Scollay as they look to bounce back from their narrow defeat to London rivals Surrey at the Kia Oval.
Sajid Mahmood has been named in Somerset's squad for the visit of Sussex to Taunton.
The former England paceman, a Lancashire loanee, has bolstered Marcus Trescothick's side's bowling options, with Gemaal Hussain and Alfonso Thomas struggling with hip and hamstring injuries respectively.
In-form batsman Nick Compton faces a late fitness test on a back injury, but Trescothick will play despite missing the Clydesdale Bank 40 victory over Scotland in order to rest his ankle.
Sussex have added left-arm seamer Lewis Hatchett to their party.
Durham and Worcestershire have their influential players back as they square off at the Emirates Durham ICG.
The revitalised hosts, who have won their last three four-day matches, have England Lion Ben Stokes in their ranks, while the relegation-threatened visitors are improved by the return of Phil Hughes from Australia A duty.
In Division Two, leaders Derbyshire could field Jonathan Clare and Richard Johnson at Northamptonshire.
All-rounder Clare and on-loan Warwickshire wicketkeeper Johnson may have recovered from back and leg injuries that forced them to miss last week's draw with promotion-chasing Yorkshire.
Northants, without the injured Chaminda Vaas for the rest of the season, could include Jack Brooks after the England Lions seamer returned to action in yesterday's CB40 defeat to Kent following four weeks on the sidelines.
Hampshire can move closer to automatic promotion with victory over bottom-of-the-table Leicestershire at Grace Road.
Jimmy Adams' side chased down 329 on the final day against Northants, courtesy of the captain's 149, to move 11 points behind Derbyshire, who have a game in hand, and 10 clear of third-placed Yorkshire.
The visitors could welcome back Michael Carberry after the opening batsman struck 54 on his return to action against Surrey yesterday.

Affordable Rent Tenancies
Affordable Rent Tenancy (ART) is a new type of affordable housing intended to provide an alternative to, but not replace, social rent. At present ART's only apply to properties let by Housing Associations.
Please see below for further information
A new way of allocating housing began on 1 March 2011.This new system has been designed to make the allocation of social housing more transparent and to make it easier for applicants to assess their prospects of being offered the tenancy of a council or housing association home.
When you bid for properties, your level of priority will be determined by your Housing Needs Band (A, B, C) and the date you joined the Register.Due to the very high demand for social rented housing in Haringey, almost all of it will be offered to applicants in Housing Needs Bands A and B.Therefore, we strongly urge applicants in other bands to visit www.haringey.gov.uk/housingoptions or call 020 8489 1000 to book an appointment with a housing adviser.
Properties are advertised on this site and in Customer Service Centres. Adverts are updated every week. Once you have looked through the available properties, you can enter your User ID and PIN number in to this site to bid. Remember to keep a record of the property reference numbers.
Bidding by web
To bid on this site click on login and it will take you through the steps.You will first see two icons - "Would you like to do a survey?" and "bid for a property/my information".There are Info icons on each page which tell you more about each page if you select them.
Bidding by phone
When bidding by phone you will be assisted by an interactive voice recognition system. It is very easy to follow. You will need a touch-tone phone with a # button. Dial 0845 330 3184 and choose the language you want to use. Enter your user ID and PIN. Select 1 to start bidding for a new property and the interactive voice system will take you through each step.The automated telephone service has instructions in 9 community languages in addition to English. These are: Albanian, Arabic, Cantonese, French, Kurdish, Polish, Portuguese, Somali and Turkish.
Bidding by mobile phone
Enter your PIN number and User ID followed by the property number you are bidding for with the # hash sign in between each number. So if your User ID is 023456 and your PIN 020961 and you want to bid for two properties with the references 123456 and 555444, you should enter: Bid#023456#020961#123456#555444 and send to 07781 482 894.
Bidding by mobile phone app
Download the 'Homeconnect' app from the App Store for Iphone users and Google Play for Android mobile phone users. View and bid for properties direct from your mobile phone.
To ensure that homeless households move out of temporary accommodation as soon as possible (and do not simply wait until they can make a successful bid for those homes that are in the most popular parts of Haringey), we have introduced auto-bidding.If you are living in temporary accommodation, we will talk to you regularly about all of your housing options, including affordable home ownership and renting a home in the private sector. If you are still there when you could have been bidding successfully for a suitable home, we will interview you again to review your situation and discuss auto-bidding.Two months after that interview, the Home Connections computer will start bidding, on your behalf, for homes that are suitable and meet your housing needs.
Adverts are placed on the Home Connections website from Wednesday.Bidders who have the highest priority need (based on their Housing Needs Band and effective date) and are eligible for housing will be shortlisted.The shortlists will be produced on the following Monday and viewings of the council homes will normally take place on the Tuesday or Wednesday.Housing associations will arrange their own viewings and will, themselves, contact the applicants nominated by the Council. They will usually give more notice of the viewing.You must ensure we have your up-to-date telephone number, so that we can contact you quickly when you are shortlisted for properties and need to attend viewings.
If you are shortlisted for more than one property, we may contact you to discuss this. Properties may not always be available to viewwithin the same week and we are unable to hold a property for you whilst you wait to view other properties. You will be asked which property is your favorite and with your agreement we will decline the bids on the other properties that you have placed a bid on. At the viewing stage you will need to either accept or refuse a property, there is no option to accept provisionally based on you waiting to see other properties.
Introductory Tenancies
All new tenancies will now start with the Introductory Tenancies for the trial period of 12 months. For more information about these changes read a leaflet (PDF, 1.75MB) on a Homes for Haringey web page.
Leaving Your Property
You must give us 4 weeks notice in writing if you want to end your tenancy and leave the property. Notice from one joint tenant ends the tenancy for both. The notice you give must end on a Monday. We will charge the rent for this period of notice.
If you leave and do not tell us, you will have to pay the rent for the property until the date when you tell us you have left or we repossess the property.
What is Affordable Rent Tenancy?
A proportion of both new homes and existing properties available for re-let, through affordable rents. Existing tenants transferring should seek further information from the Housing Association of the property they are interested in applying for.
This will not affect existing tenants who are not seeking to move from their current home.
Properties let under ART will cost up to 80% of open market rents. Where tenants are eligible for Housing Benefit it will continue to be paid in the same way as for social rented properties at present.
How will Affordable Rent Properties be advertised?
Affordable Rent properties will be advertised through the Home Connections scheme and will be allocated in the same way as social rents, with some additional assessment criteria. The new ART advertisements will clearly indicate that the property is an Affordable Rent Tenancy.

My Uncle Gary related the story as we headed for Goldfield Ghost Town in Arizona.
It was, he said, a combination of fact and fiction, and it was hard to ascertain where one stopped and the other began.
It was a perfect tale for something referred to as the Superstition Mountains.
My uncle related the story of a Dutchman who found a large goldmine, but never shared its location. Since, many have tried to find the mine. No one has. Some of the searchers never have returned.
As it turns out, there are several versions of "The Lost Dutchman's Goldmine," ( I know this because I immediately looked it up on my iPhone as we headed for the Superstition Mountains. Even ghost towns can't hide from WiFi).
Knowing a little of the story, and walking the grounds, gave the day's trip an almost mystical bent. Sure, there was probably nothing to the stories about how there was some spirit or curse protecting the location of the gold.
And yet, as I watched a storm crawl across the sky that sat above the mountains, I wondered:
What if ...
It's not that one wants to believe in evil spirits or curses. But it did hit me that in sports, especially in baseball, we believe in the supernatural, in legends, without even realizing it.
In baseball, there is the story of Babe Ruth's called shot, when he supposedly pointed to the Wrigley Field bleachers during the 1932 World Series just before placing a baseball there for a homer.
By most accounts, Ruth never actually pointed, merely gestured to the fans. A number of Cubs disputed that Ruth ever called his shot at all.
That hasn't stopped everyone from the kid in the backyard to the fictional Jake Taylor from imitating the legend. It's practically accepted it happened.
But me, I choose to believe Ruth knew he was going to hit a homer, and decided to let everyone know.
I don't know what Ruth did that day. It happened some 48 years before I was born. But sometimes it's nice to believe.
Many of my friends believe there's a curse on Cleveland sports. That's a curse I'd choose to ignore. But 49 years without a title has a way of making you wonder.
Regardless, the stories of stars from the past often begin with "it's been said" or "legend has it."
Sure, maybe "Shoeless" Joe Jackson never played in his socks.
Maybe slugger Josh Gibson never hit a ball that didn't come down the next day (OK, I'm certain that one isn't true.)
And maybe there is no Dutchman's gold mine.
And yet, we always see things, hear things, believe things that aren't always the most logical.
I'm not sure about you, but I'm OK with having some things in our lives that can't be destroyed by cynicism, or worse, reality.
What if ...

When it comes to performance upgrades for computing systems,
enthusiasts have been moving in large numbers to solid state drives. Upgrading
a system from an "archaic" hard disk drive (HDD) to a solid state
drive (SSD) can make an immediate difference in boot speeds, application launch
times, and overall system performance.
OCZ Technology, once primarily known for its DRAM/memory
products, has in recent years expanded its product portfolio to include cooling
products and power supplies. Another product category that has seen large gains
for the company has been the SSD market.
OCZ Technology saw a 325
percent increase in revenues from its SSD business for fiscal Q3 2011
versus the previous year. Q3 2011 SSD revenues were also up 105 percent
compared to Q2 2011.
"SSD revenue
accounted for 78% of our revenue and just by itself exceeds our historical
quarterly revenue totals across all categories, thus reinforcing our decision
to discontinue our remaining DRAM products," said OCZ Technology CEO Ryan
Thanks to the strong performance of its SSD portfolio, and
the overall weakness in the global DRAM market, OCZ is accelerating its plans
to exit the DRAM market.
"We still have some commitment on the memory side
moving forward and will continue with certain SKUs for a period of time, but
the amount of memory sales are going to be non-material to our overall
business," said OCZ CMO Alex Mei in a phone interview with DailyTech. "Memory sales continues
to shrink as an overall portion of our business to the point where it was not
as significant."
OCZ showcased its SSD prowess last week with the announcement
of the Vertex 3 Pro SSD family. The new drives feature a SandForce SF-2582
SATA III/6Gbps compliant controller that provides maximum read speeds of
550MB/sec and maximum write speeds of 525MB/sec.
quote: For example, the United States government fiscal year for 2011 ("FY 2011" or "FY11") is as follows:* 1st Quarter: October 1, 2010 - December 31, 2010* 2nd Quarter: January 1, 2011 - March 31, 2011 * 3rd Quarter: April 1, 2011 - June 30, 2011 * 4th Quarter: July 1, 2011 - September 30, 2011

First of all the OA was founded by Camp Director named E. Urner Goodman. He saw a need to recognize those Scouts that dedicate themselves to not only the Scout Oath and Law, but to service to others, especially his Troop and Camps.
The OA grew over the years and now is known as Scoutings Honor Society.
A couple unique facts about the Order of the Arrow:
It is the only organization withun Scouting that the members are elected by non members. This is to show that the committment of the Elected Scout is to those that elected him first (his Troop).
The OA is a Brotherhood of Cheerful Service. Reminding himself that he has an obligation to serve others.
The OA is committed to the promotion of camping and Scout Camps and has a special emphasis on the BSA High Adventure Bases.
So..having said that… This weekend was Conclave. Conclave is gathering of all the Order of the Arrow members within our section. Our Section includes three Lodges. The Wauna La-Mon'tay Lodge, the Lo La'Qam Geela Lodge, and the Tsisqan Lodge. This includes the three Councils in Oregon. ABout 500 Scouts and Adult members of the Order attend a weekend full of training opportunities and lots and lots of fun.
The fantasitc part of the weeked, as with all OA activities, they are completely run by the Youth. From planning and preparation to the execution. And I have to say they do a fantastic job. The stagte shows, while I don't get the humor sometimes are great and the program is simply wonderful. Wonderful to see that we have a generation of young men that can lead, that can communicate, that understands responsibilty, and that when given the training and tools, can accomplish anything.
These young men are a fresh breath of hope. They have an ability to be serious and have fun and they change gears faster than a Lamborghini. Spending the weekend with a group of Scouts that want to be challanged and accept leadership was refreshing.
Yep- they did it again.
If you want more information about the Order of the Arrow use the links I provided.
Happy Scouting!

I had a great time cooking on Saturday and hanging out with some of you who were also getting things done in the kitchen. We gathered on Facebook for a Virtual Cooking Party. It was a lot of fun and now I've got a freezer full of cooked chicken, soup, meatballs and more.
If you missed the party on Saturday, but would still like to do a little virtual baking, plan to be part of Liz's Virtual Baking Party on Wednesday morning. We'll be gathering on the Hoosier Homemade Facebook page to talk, bake and share ideas.
Today, I've got a free printable Holiday Meal Planner for you. If you're the cook for a Holiday feast this year, this will come in handy. I'm a big believer in using lists when I'm cooking a big meal.
Lists keep me from forgetting to make the sweet tea or finding a fruit salad in the fridge after the dinner is over and everyone has gone home.
To print your Holiday Meal Planner, click here: [download id="120″]
Last week, we talked about make ahead party food. Liz posted this cheese ball recipe that can be frozen.
For the first week of the series, I posted 4 snack mixes that require no baking and no cooking. Liz shared Hot Cocoa and Tea gifts in a jar.
How will you celebrate Thanksgiving? Are you the main cook for the day?

This column is a collection of topics beginning with T, and the first is tiles.
Regular tiles from the builder's yard or lumber yard make great containers, and they come in so many shapes and sizes, there is one for every spot. And if you cannot find the precise height you need, tiles can be cut with a chisel and hammer.
If, like me, you are less than expert with tools, you may end up with a jagged rim, but then that end can go down into the ground, or you can brazen it out as if you meant it to be that way.
Plants in all containers will dry out fast in hot weather, and you will probably find the potting soil shrinking away from the sides of the tile after a while. Just dig out an inch-wide trench all around the inside edge and replace it with some good potting mix that is high in organic content.
Water it well, and ram the new material down with a stick.
Tarragon is a useful herb to grow, but make sure you grow the French or German variety. Russian is not good. It grows faster and larger than the French, and produces copious amounts of seed, but is lacking in the flavored oils.
Tarragon's flavor is somewhat like anise, and you can use leaves or stem tips in salad. Unlike most herbs, tarragon can be grown in partial shade.
Tilling is a horrible, but necessary, job.
Sometimes I envy the farmers who use no-till methods in their fields. I don't pretend to understand the process, but I would really like to be able to just take one pass over the garden and put seeds and seedlings between last year's leavings.
Tilling the home garden with a tiller produces powdery soil, and digging by hand is very hard on the back. But nothing looks as good as a thoroughly dug and raked patch of ground with nice green plants in the healthy brown dirt.
Of course, then the flooding rain followed by some periods of drought that bakes the soil until it cracks, will follow.
Then there's tulips. I love them while they are in bloom, but I have unreal expectations for them in the garden.
With daffodils flowering profusely year after year, it seems as if tulips should do the same, but they don't. The first thing that happens to mine is those carefully chosen pink and peach blossoms turn to red. They clash violently with everything around them at that stage, and so have to be picked and brought into the house - where they also clash with their surroundings.
And then each year the blooms are smaller and more sparse until one year there is nothing but leaves. And the browning stem and leaves are very ugly in the flower border.
This is not the fault of the tulips; that is the way they are. One year, I was at an area public garden as their display was ending, and they were being pulled and thrown away. I was horrified, but maybe that is the way to go.
A trowel is a tool of great character that soon can become a friend. I have three; a rusty white with a point which is good for digging small holes in hard clay; a rusty green that just appeared one day and is not very useful unless the others are hiding from me; and a larger stainless steel one, which is priceless. It has a comfortable smooth black handle, and the rounded tip is fairly sharp.
This trowel was a gift from either my sister or my daughter many years ago, and is the tool I carry with me when I walk around the garden first thing in the morning. It digs out weeds on the fly, and its only fault is a tendency to disappear.
But so do many of my tools; I think it is a family trait.
And as long as they show up again, I'm not complaining.
Now, what am I going to do about U?
