Nana's Naughty Knickers
By Katherine DiSavino
Bridget and her Grandmother are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite Nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she'll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling hand-made naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five borough area!
Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement? Will her Nana get arrested - or worse! - evicted?
Due to unforeseen circumstances, production of Nana's Naughty Knickers has been moved to November. Performance dates are:
Friday, November 18 - 8:00pm
Saturday, November 19 - 8:00pm
Sunday, November 20 - 2:00pm
Friday, November 25 - 8:00pm
Saturday, November 26 - 8:00pm
Our ApproachOur goal and our passion has been to work hard, entertain our fans, and just plain have fun. Shows go up twice a year - in the late fall and early spring. We like a good laugh, and our repertoire reflects our diverse sense of humour - from the classic wit of The Importance of Being Ernest to the rollicking comedic action of our 20th anniversary production, Til Beth Do Us Part.
"Taking the starry evening ride to Mile Hill is a special treat. I guess you could say, MHM is like a box of crackerjacks. Some might say the shows can be corny, but they can also be caramel sweet, slightly salty, and full of the greatest surprises. That's why audiences return - they know they are going to be filled up with a great big, low-cal, guilt-free happy." -- Cambrian Players, Thunder Bay, ON
"We have enjoyed live
theatre in Thunder Bay, Grand Marais, Minneapolis, Winnipeg and Palm
Springs. Mile Hill tops them all as pure entertaining theatre!" -- Doreen and Harry Sitch, Hymers, ON

What's in the basic Sky TV package?
Sky's basic TV package is called the Sky Original Bundle. It includes a great selection of popular channels, and can be customised with other channel packs.
Here's exactly what you'll get with the basic Sky TV bundle, from channels, prices, upgrades, and all the other options that come with the service.
Cable.co.uk rating
The Sky Original Bundle
Sky used to have six different channel packs, and customers taking the basic package could choose any one of them as part of their subscription. These days Sky uses a simpler system, and all customers get over 35 channels as standard, plus the option to add extra channels with Sky Sports and Sky Movies.
With Sky's basic bundle, you'll get the channels outlined above, the ability to pause, rewind, and record live TV thanks to a free Sky+ HD box, access to Sky's on demand service, the free Sky Go app, and 11 free-to-air high definition channels – and the option to add the free Sky Broadband Lite package with 12GB usage and Pay As You Talk calls.
The Sky Original bundle starts at £20 per month, and comes on a 12-month contract. If you choose to take up the offer of free broadband and Pay As You Talk calls you'll also need to pay £17.40 a month line rental.
Channel list
Despite this being a 'basic' TV package, there is nothing particularly basic about the variety of its channels. You get the big-hitting entertainment channels, like Sky Atlantic, Sky 1 and Sky Living as well as lifestyle, news and international channels. You'll also receive over 240 free-to-air channels and 11 free-to-air HD channels, so you've plenty to be getting on with.
Compare Sky bundles
Want to know how much it all costs and what other options Sky has? You can use our comparison table to see the basic, intermediate, and advanced TV bundles that Sky offers.
Sky Sports
If you're a sports fan, you can enhance your basic Sky TV bundle with Sky's sport channels.
The Sky Sports add-on starts at £13.75 per month and comes with seven dedicated sports channels, including Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports News and Sky Sports F1, and the most recent addition, Sky Sports 5. If you need your football, rugby, or golf fix, the Sky Sports pack presents a great option for building on your basic Sky TV bundle.
Sky Movies
If sports aren't your thing, you can upgrade your basic TV bundle with a movie package instead.
The Sky Movies add-on starts at £12 per month and features 11 Sky Movies channels, including Sky Movies Premiere and Sky Movies Disney, and around 800 movies to watch on demand. This is a great option for movie buffs looking for a full cinema experience at home (except without the sticky floors and endless trailers).
What are my alternatives?
If you've decided that Sky TV just isn't for you, there are still plenty of alternatives out there, including BT TV, TalkTalk TV and Virgin Media, each of which offers a cheap entry-level package.
Sky has the widest range of TV channels in the UK, but it's not the cheapest option for a starter pack. There's plenty of scope for expansion though, so you'll be able to add more channels and services as time goes by.

Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s there was a huge industry rivalry between two powerhouses in the personal computing software utilities sector. Up in Portland, Oregon was Central Point Software and down in Santa Monica, California was Peter Norton Computing. Both companies were bitter rivals as they fought a heated head to head battle to be the top dog in this market, slugging it out for revenue and market share. Central Point Software was on a path aimed towards filing an Initial Public Offering while Peter Norton Computing was stolen off of the launch pad, acquired by Symantec. That event didn't change that the newly renamed Peter Norton Group was out for blood; their goals were clearly stated as "Delight customers, win all reviews, bankrupt competitors" — even the janitors knew it.
Both companies produced product suites which competed head to head in a daily battle to win both new customers and to take each other's customers away. In one corner was PC Tools, the Central Point product, and in the other was Norton Utilities, from the Peter Norton Group. One of the main battlegrounds was in the area of disk optimization. Back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth—okay, back when personal computers had 12 Mhz Turbo switches and 10 to 20 MB hard drives—computers would get extremely slow if the hard drive became fragmented. Compress, from PC Tools would optimize the drives by rearranging file sectors to be contiguous again as would Speed Disk, the Norton Utilities product. This would make the computer fast again as the head on the hard drive wouldn't have to move all over the place to find file sectors to read a file into the computer's memory. One could argue which product was better than the other. Product reviews would tend to focus on which product would complete before the other as well as which drives would perform faster after being optimized.
Let me now take a brief pause to introduce you to Brad Kingsbury, the first programmer hired by Peter Norton and one of my earliest mentors…
Brad wrote the very first versions of Disk Doctor and Speed Disk at Peter's kitchen table. He knew it was time to go home from work when Peter's wife was ready to set the table for dinner. Brad was obsessed with clean code that performed both fast and flawlessly. Brad worked with my team on Norton Desktop for Windows and was my boss on Norton Antivirus in its very early days before it hit the big time. He was a perfectionist and expected all of his developers to know exactly how many clock cycles every line of code written in C would compile to. He also expected each of us to test every code path while in our debuggers, shoving values in to memory (or even registers or on the return stack) if we had to in order to ensure we could single step our code through every possible conditional. To have a defect found in your code was a badge of shame. Anybody who wasn't out to make their product both fast and perfect he crowned a Slacker, a badge of shame you worked your butt off to shake. When Microsoft told Brad that it would be impossible to write a version Speed Disk for Windows due to how the operating system worked and handled disk i/o operations, Brad scoffed and came back with a working proof of concept version after almost a week of straight all-nighters.
Now back to my story…
Both PC Tools and Norton Utilities were in a dead even heat in the marketplace. Both had similar products and very loyal customers who would align with their favorite. The market had become saturated and the only way to grow revenue was to take customers away from each other. This created a fierce feature battle between the two companies. Despite the pressure to add more and more new features, Brad would not back off of his mantra regarding being able to delight the customer, but also doing so with the fastest and most reliable products. Brad knew in his heart that our products were engineered better than the competition and that is when he discovered a fatal flaw in the PC Tools products that Marketing exploited in a way that nobody could have imagined.
There used to be an industry trade-show called Comdex, which was held each year in Las Vegas (today the Computer Electronics Show picks up where Comdex left off). In the Symantec press suite two identical IBM personal computers had been set up next to each other. Both had matching hard drives, which were exact duplicates of each other. They invited the press to watch as they kicked off the presentation and demo. On the first machine they started by installing PC Tools (from floppies no less) and on the second they installed Norton Utilities. After the products completed their installations they then launched the PC Tools disk optimization product on the first machine and at the same time on the second machine they started Norton Speed Disk. A couple of minutes later as the presenters were talking a loud gasp filled the suite.
After both products had run side-by-side while they talked the two of them did the unthinkable: they ripped the power cords out from the wall sockets. There was no stopping the programs, no powering down, just the hard pull on the power cords. The audience saw the monitors go dark as they heard the very audible sound of the disk drive heads falling onto the storage platters and bouncing. The only thing louder in the room were the gasps that followed from the audience.
Both PCs then had their power restored and they began their boot sequences. The first computer, where the PC Tools Compress disk optimizer had been running, wasn't able to boot as the BIOS claimed that disk had a fatal flaw and was unmountable. The second computer, where Norton Speed Disk had been running, booted up fine. The command CHKDSK (which was used in DOS to check the integrity of a disk drive) was executed and said everything was fine. The demo then continued on the second machine: Speed Disk was restarted and it automatically began its task right where it had left off when the power cord had been unplugged. It completed a couple of minutes later with a fully optimized hard drive.
Now the first machine, which had been running Central Point's PC Tools, was in real trouble. Not only were the contents of the drive damaged so badly the computer wouldn't boot up, but the PC Tools emergency rescue disk wasn't working. When the demonstrators rebooted the PC with the emergency disk in the floppy drive, it couldn't even find the C: drive to try to repair it. Everybody thought the first PC was now a doorstop.
The next part of the demonstration was priceless. They then proceeded to reboot the first PC with the Norton Emergency Rescue Disk, which worked, of course. The Rescue Disk repaired the hard drive on the first machine, previously damaged by the loss of power during the PC Tools Compress optimization. The demo then continued on by optimizing the first machine with Norton Speed Disk.
This demo was repeatable over and over again and without any variation in the outcomes. It became a huge buzz at the national convention and the press had a field day. For about a year the media decided to cover all of the stories they could find where PC Tools customers suffered outages and data loses while using their products.
It was just a couple of short years later that my plane landed at PDX for the first time. PC Tools had pulled their IPO, we had taken a huge percentage of their customers away from them, and Symantec had decided to purchase what was left of the company to consolidate market share. My job on the ground was to meet with the former Portland-based PC Tools software development teams and to help them learn "the Norton way." I then went on, as part of my responsibilities after I relocated, to take over their security product teams and fold in the development teams from the newly acquired Fifth Generation Software company.
Why am I sharing this story? I feel like I've seen this movie before, but many in this industry are doomed to not learn from its lessons and film the bad sequels. As software developers it is one thing to complain about how crappy the infrastructure is that your system is running on (i.e. how it isn't fair that somebody pulled the plug out of the wall), but it is another thing to design and develop software with failure in mind. Coding and testing for "happy path" is a recipe for disaster even in advanced PaaS environments like AWS and Azure. We need to keep in mind delighting customers includes resiliency, as that is a critical piece of the equation.
Will this tale change how you think about designing, coding, and testing for failure? Do you already do this? If so, please share your insights.
Back on October 20, 2012 I posted "Rants of a Madman – When 30 Day Syndrome Attacks – Planning Like You're Goldilocks." It was a rant about software teams who go back to the well saying that they need another 30 days to finish a release, just to find out they need another 30 days, and perhaps even another 30. It was also a rant as to how Agile can help solve this problem. While traveling from Chicago to Wichita last week I was reminded about this post and thought I'd share my recent advice to my teams.
I earned the "Most Flight Delays For A Single Flight In A Single Day" Achievement this week. I think I'll sew the badge onto my suitcase. 11 flight delays for my flight from Chicago into Wichita and I have the 11 text messages on my phone to prove it! It was just crazy. I was afraid that I was going to burn out my FitBit as I went back and forth between gates.
Although United tried to be very transparent with the delays, I think there is a lesson to be learned in one of the key mistakes they made: At one point they gave up, quit planning, and began issuing off the cuff, gut-check last minute updates. The last 4 delays were caused when somebody assumed "this surely cannot take longer than 5 more minutes" and updated the new departure time to be 5 minutes in to the future. Well, you can guess what happened — they missed their updated time. About 10 minutes after they missed their previous "this cannot possibly take longer than 5 more minutes" update, they decided again it couldn't take longer than 5 more minutes. Yes, next update, next fail. And yes, they made this mistake 4 times in a row.
When it comes to updating expectations one of the worst things one can do is to fall in to this syndrome of simply tossing out a quick answer that "feels good." When providing an update for a new date, many forget that this creates a new commitment. Yes, mistakes happen and sometimes a commitment needs to be reset, but when it is reset one needs to understand that is indeed a new commitment. It is perhaps even more important in some ways than the original.
Missing commitments over and over destroys any previously earned credibility. It doesn't matter how smart one is or how hard one works, the continued miss on commitments creates mistrust not only to customers but with one's team. United would have been served much better had they taken a pause to actually think through setting a new expectation.
Sometimes one feels pressure to come up with that new commitment immediately, even before the answer is known to themselves. Don't fall for this trap. If one doesn't know it is best to say so, then give a date for a date. That is make a commitment as to when others can expect to receive an updated prognosis and final commitment.
Don't become Goldilocks…😀
Although I was in Portland this week, I reflected over an experience I had last week while traveling. I went out for dinner and had similar things happen, but with totally opposite results. In the first case I wanted to order my meal and was told they were out of what I wanted. I then tried again, but received the same answer. I tried a third and fourth time and each time I received the same answer: "We are sold out of that and we don't get our food shipment until tomorrow morning." I ended up putting down some money for my iced tea and leaving to go someplace else. How can you operate a restaurant when you are out of meat, poultry, fish, noodles, and greens? And yes, my attempts were in that order <grin>. What was even more frustrating was each time I asked the waiter played the victim as he walked back to the kitchen, asked, and then came back to tell me "try again." It wasn't his fault, he explained, his "…manager hadn't ordered enough produce this time around."
Now, this very same week I went to another restaurant and thought I was going to have a déjà vu moment. I ordered and the waitress came back to tell me that they were out of what I had selected. Now here is where the story differs… The waitress went on to say "…our manager isn't here, but the busboy decided to run down the block to get some groceries and should be back in less than 20 minutes. Would you like to order something else or would you prefer to wait?" She then went on to make a recommendation based on what she knew they had. In my case I decided to wait. I later saw the busboy sprint through the front door, rather winded, toting three to four plastic grocery bags. I also saw her bus some of her own tables while the busboy was out. I read some news articles and some of my current book on my Kindle while I waited and then went on to have a very enjoyable meal.
Why am I sharing this story? Based on my previous experience just a couple of days earlier I was inspired by the initiative shown by the employees at this second restaurant. At the first restaurant all of the employees had given up and were waiting for something to happen outside of their job descriptions. It wasn't their fault they had run out of produce before their next deliveries for that week. As a customer asking them for things they were out of I was even beginning to become annoying to them. However, at the second restaurant, an employee who had nothing to do with food procurement or preparation decided to solve the problem to help his teammates out. Those employees at the second restaurant showed great initiative to do the right things for the right reasons to ensure that their company delivered the best product and experience possible to their customers.
I was really inspired by that busboy. So much so I made a note to share this experience with anybody who would listen. I hope you are inspired too.
In Agile it isn't about job titles or job descriptions; it isn't about tossing things over the wall via e-mail or ticket to some other team member, functional group, or department – it is about doing the right things for the right reasons in an effort to delight customers in a timely manner.
Agile is about real-time collaboration to solve a problem, divide the work, and push through it vs. waiting.
I'd like to thank all who understand and practice that across Agile teams today. You too are inspiring… The rest of you? Perhaps pretend you work at the second restaurant? 😀
One problem the software industry has is that it has been difficult for it to attract women to pursue Computer Science degrees and then go on to work in development, QA, or other software engineering positions. I believe this is kind of criminal given a woman, Ada Lovelace, wrote the first computer program in the mid-1800's. A component of the issue regarding the lack of diversity in tech has been stereotypes that have been created and perpetuated throughout the industry. One woman, Isis Wenger of OneLogin, decided to address this head on with her #ILookLikeAnEngineer campaign on Twitter. There is a good article on TechCrunch that explains why she did this.
Some may find this to be a controversial topic— it shouldn't be. Collectively, we need to further promote and aid diversity in the workforce. I believe that it starts with #STEM programs and encouraging school age girls to learn how to code and explore the career opportunities that exists within this industry. It continues with breaking down the perpetuation of stereotypes. For our female team members, you may wish to share your own post to #ILookLikeAnEngineer to help contribute to diversity education and the conversation.
Hey, this Saturday is Pi Day. Did you know that everything that has ever existed or will exist can be represented somewhere in Pi? Every book, every movie, even your unique DNA sequence. I know, it makes your brain explode thinking about it…
I managed to capture this screen shot at Pi time on Pi Day:
This Thursday night the political gears will be grinding away. The transportation commission hosts their public hearing on Uber, Lyft and similar technology-based services. Sometimes our Portland tech community can be loud about what it believes in and at other times it can be quite passive and quiet. I believe this is a moment where Portland tech needs to be vocal about the entrepreneurial spirit and push back on legacy, protectionist policies that exist to block innovation. It isn't Uber and other similar services at risk here; it is any tech startup who dares to challenge the status quo. http://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/article/519306

I felt that I needed to write a eulogy for Radio Shack, given its demise this week. Radio Shack is one of the reasons I'm in computers today. It started in 6th grade with a Science Fair 150-in-1 Electronic Project kit in the 70's that my parents purchased for me on a whim. After that Radio Shack became the cool place you went to when you wanted to build or create something that none of your friends had. It had all the instruction manuals, tools, and electronic components to allow you to build a variety of great things. I remember that AM Radio transmitter I built from scratch that let me pretend to be a radio DJ one summer. I built my first "robot" after reading an article in OMNI Magazine (also dead today) from parts purchased at Radio Shack: a gutted remote control car that was hardwired with electronics to either follow a flash light automatically or to scurry away like a cockroach and hide in the dark once a light was turned upon it. Then there was the Trash-80, as we affectionately called their CPM-based early microcomputer. I learned that it was easier to change code than to modify circuits by wirewraping or soldering new components. I'm sad. Today we have the Rasberry PI and similar escapes; if we could only get our kids to look up from their thumbs blurring away texting, Instagraming, and Facebooking to take a glance at them… Radio Shack R.I.P.

At today's 3rd annual Personal Democracy Forum Conference here in NYC, where the likes of Elizabeth Edwards, Jon's wife, and Web celebs like Doc Searls, Chris Nolan and Kos milled about, I attended an interesting session about video blogging.
A lot of the panelists were discussing ways political candidates or advocacy groups can use video blogging (either campaign-produced, or volunteer/supporter-produced) to engage voters online.
V-blog aficionado Steve Garfield shared his experiences working on Boston City Councilor John Tobin's '06 campaign. Garfield convinced the candidate to create short video clips for his site — stuff featuring him at local events promoting initiatives, at a council meeting, in the public square, that sort of thing. Evidently, Tobin was so taken with the potential for video blogging and his site he had all his bumper stickers and lawn signs changed to read, "VoteJohnTobin.com" — that's it. The candidate created a new video for each of the 9 days leading up to the city election.
We also learned about another current candidate, Ned Lamont. The candidate for Senate from Connecticut has lots of supporters using YouTube to distribute video in support of him (and apparently to dis Joe Lieberman, his Dem primary opponent, too).
The consultant working on the Lamont campaign stressed, "You don't want to control the message," and he thinks enabling supporters to put out their own CGM-developed video through a site like YouTube is a good way to have voices heard that may not be suitable if directly disseminated through the campaign itself.
Interesting to note: Councilor Tobin took the opposite tack, stating in a V-blog clip, "with TV and radio time so expensive and so controlled video blogging allows you to control your message." It makes sense he'd appreciate this inexpensive means of getting his message out without being encumbered by media interpretation. However, I suspect this will be an ongoing debate among techno-politicos. In the same way that commercial marketers are struggling to determine the best ways to incorporate CGM and distribution channels like YouTube, political and advocacy campaigns exploiting these media will also be debating what makes sense — more or less control. Of course, whether they truly have the ability to make that decision is another story….

With governments from Europe to America piling up debt, investors have been getting out of paper currencies and moving into gold.
The yellow metal set yet another record high Tuesday, crossing $1,250 an ounce before closing at $1,244.
According to analysts, gold continues to climb, because of the debt crisis in Europe and the decline of the euro.
"With confidence in paper currency systems badly shaken in the financial crisis, gold, it seems, is reasserting its old role as the ultimate debt-free money," a new report by UBS AG read. "Our gold model also indicates that concerns over the future of major monetary systems are becoming visible in the price of gold."
Some of the world's top investors have been buying gold and many analysts believe its record run is far from over.
"Against a broad basket of all major currencies, we note that gold's value has remained remarkably stable over long periods of time," UBS said.

I'VE GOT a shocking story for you. Not one shock, but several - some good, some not.
The first shock - a $12,169 gas bill from PGW - electrified Robyn Irving, a data coordinator at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
She got the insane bill for her two-story Nicetown rowhouse in July, a month after PGW fixed a leak in her gas meter. Twelve thousand freaking dollars? Was PGW pumping Chanel No. 5 into her home?
Irving, 58, complained, but PGW was slow to provide an explanation and, ultimately, no satisfaction, she says.
Distraught, she told me her story and I looked into it.

Regier Signed To Contract Extension
This afternoon, Terry Pegula held his season-eve press conference with the Sabres media.
At the beginning of the press conference, Pegula announced that long-tenured general manager Darcy Regier has had his contract extended with the franchise. Regier signed his most recent contract extension in the fall of 2010.
#Sabres have extended GM Darcy Regier. #Sabres
— Bill Hoppe (@BillHoppeNHL) January 19, 2013
It was also reported that Pegula would not discuss contract specifics. This is not surprising as current ownership has often shied away from releasing terms for front office employees.
Pegula stated the agreement had been reached "for quite some time now."
This move, without a corresponding extension for Lindy Ruff, seems to be putting pressure on Ruff as the Sabres have missed the playoffs three out of the last five seasons.
Stay tuned to Sabres Hockey Central for the most recent updates on this and other Sabres news stories.

Ray if your a red wings fan then why are you here?? Go away, no one wants you here!

why deb? just because theyve missed the playoffs 3 out of the last 5 years and were out in the 1st round the other 2? i hear theyre hiring chan gailey as assistant gm next! that is hilarious news….GO RED WINGS…. a REAL hockey team
would love to see Regier gone….I don't feel that he has helped our team to a cup or better players!!!
Better make the playoffs, or off with their heads (R & R)

With former Redskins guard Russ Grimm being voted into the Hall of Fame last Saturday, we've heard a lot of great stories about him. But Redskins blogger Matt Terl pulled back the curtain on the voting process Tuesday by visiting with Grimm's presenter, David Elfin.
The former Skins beat writer for the Washington Times (when it still had a sports section) was refreshingly honest about what led to Grimm finally making the final cut. And he talked about how difficult it is to quantify an offensive lineman's worth to a team. Elfin set out to talk to coaches and players who had faced Grimm over the years. And obviously the strategy paid off:
"What I chose to do this year was go to people who opposed Russ. I don't mean the voters, I mean the people who played and coached against him," said Elfin. "Because if they had good things to say, that would be more decisive than anything [Joe Bugel] or [Joe] Gibbs or anybody on the Redskins could say.
"And Randy White said that Russ Grimm was one of the best guards he ever faced. Bill Parcells said that Mike Munchak was the only one that he's ever seen in his time who was better than Russ -- and he was on the Patriots when they had John Hannah.
"Harry Carson said that Russ always gave him a headache and was the glue that held the Hogs together. And Matt Millen said basically that he was the smartest offensive lineman he had ever seen. So that was the basic gist. Those four people, I think, were pretty decisive."
Terl also asked Elfin to talk about who's next for the Redskins in the Hall of Fame:
"For me, if you wanted to name Redskins who are deserving, Chris Hanburger is number one," says Elfin. "Nine Pro Bowls, there's no question. I would say Len Hauss is second, with, like, seven Pro Bowls. And then you'd probably throw [Dave] Butz into the group with Jake and Pat Fischer and Larry Brown and ... off the top of my head, those'd be the lead guys."
The one name missing from that group in my mind is wide receiver Gary Clark. Who's next in your minds? As hard as this is to believe, defensive end Dexter Manley only went to one Pro Bowl. But he was named to the All-Pro team twice and had 103.5 sacks. That sack total is higher than Charles Haley's. Defensive end Charles Mann went to four Pro Bowls but he only finished with 83 career sacks, 82 with the Redskins. But he did play on three Super Bowl-winning teams.

The family of a crewmember killed in last year's Lifestar crash is not blaming the pilot of the helicopter, despite a report by the National Transportation and Safety Board that attributed pilot error as one of the causes of the accident.
Daylon Smith, brother of flight nurse Lauren Stone, said family members are still struggling to come to terms with their loss, but they do not hold it against pilot Ed Sanneman.
"There's not really a grudge, where we're saying he took off, he killed my sister," Smith said. "I think it was a team decision (to take off). I think it would be very unfair to point the finger at that pilot."
Stone, 30; Sanneman, 33; paramedic Terry Griffith, 35; and 4-month-old patient Kathy Esparza were killed March 10, 2000, when the Lifestar helicopter crashed about 25 miles north of Dalhart in heavy fog.
The NTSB report cited Sanneman's decision to fly in poor conditions, as well as weather factors, as contributing to the crash.
Smith said no one should second-guess the decision of the flight crew to lift off because they were trained to weigh the risks of the flight against the condition of Esparza, who was suffering from respiratory difficulty.
"I feel like they knew that baby was going to die (from her illness)," Smith said. "They had to make a decision to let that happen or take off and try to save her. I wonder how anybody in that situation could have made a different decision. How could you have just sat there and let that baby die?"
Smith said his family is having an extremely difficult time coping with the loss of Stone because she was so dear to the family.
"She was just a real important key to the family," Smith said. "There's a lot of emotional distress there. If there was a golden child, Lauren was the golden child."
Smith said Stone had her heart set on being a part of the flight team from the moment she got out of nursing school.
The danger that was part of the job added to its appeal, Smith said.
"She wanted to get in that helicopter," Smith said. "She wasn't going to rest until she got in it. A little bit of danger didn't really bother her that much. It put the spark into her life. How much more excitement could you have than flying through a rain storm and saving two people's lives that were hurt in a car crash?"
The loss of such a vibrant part of the family has been tough, though, especially on Stone's three sons, ages 15, 11 and 8. The youngest boy has gone to live with his father in Georgia, while the two older sons are staying in Shamrock with their grandparents.
Smith said the family is working hard to put its grief behind it, and the final conclusion of the NTSB will help put the tragedy to rest.
But Smith said the cost to his family and the families of the other Lifestar victims is not the most important thing to consider in the crash. The focus should instead be on the contributions made by the flight crew before their untimely deaths.
"Yeah, they're dead and gone. But how many lives did they save?" Smith said. "That's something that has to be focused on.
"I think that's a fair trade. She's not here, but for the lives that she did save, how can you ever know what all those lives were worth?"

A real gem for wildlife and for visitors too. Spend time in one of the four hides, looking out at the ducks and swans on the haugh, or take a walk through the woods – in the spring you might hear woodpeckers and nuthatches, while in the winter whooper swans feed on the flooded meadows. If you're lucky you may even see a kingfisher or an otter on the river. Most paths are suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs, but may be muddy in bad weather and are steep in places. Wheelchair visitors, please call the reserve in advance for advice.
Open at all times.
Free, but donations to help us continue our work here are welcome.
This nature reserve is important for wildlife. RSPB Scotland welcomes responsible access, in line with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. During the ground-nesting bird breeding season (1 April to 15 August) and in areas with livestock we would ask that you keep your dog close to you, preferably on a short lead and please clean up after your dog. To safeguard the natural heritage of the area we request that dogs are not permitted to enter the wetlands or pools.

The good . . .
A healthy start: Thanks to a proactive Amarillo justice system, there is the chance a troubled woman will be able to turn her life around. An HIV-positive woman who allegedly engaged in prostitution agreed Thursday to participate in inpatient treatment and an outpatient communicable disease program in Dallas rather than face prosecution. Give credit to the city for pursuing what is believed to be legal precedent in Texas, and give credit to the woman, whose identity has not been made public, for agreeing to take the necessary steps to improve her health and prevent the spread of a deadly disease. In this case, merely tossing the woman in jail would not address what is needed - a change in personal behavior and lifestyle. Hopefully, the woman will be able to do more than just better herself.
the bad . . .
Hammer time: U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Sugar Land, needs to realize his actions affect more than just himself. DeLay, nicknamed "The Hammer," has a well-earned reputation for partisan power plays. The GOP's second most powerful leader in Congress was dinged twice last week by the House ethics committee for alleged campaign finance wrongdoings and arm-twisting a fellow member of Congress to vote on a Medicare bill. Thanks to "The Hammer" getting nailed, Democrats have not only pounced on the issue, but also have called on the White House to rein in DeLay - all of this coming with the presidential election a little more than three weeks away. At the least, DeLay's political timing is poor. It remains to be seen if he is guilty of anything more substantial.
and the ugly
A chip on their shoulder: The Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department yanked 200,000 copies of the 2005 Annual Events Guide last week after officials discovered inappropriate material. In addition to errors and misspellings and a picture of a Confederate flag, OTRD officials were peeved at a picture of three women holding trophies following a competition in the Panhandle town of Beaver, Okla. Why waste nearly $46,000 to destroy the guides? Well, speaking of waste, the competition was a cow-chip throwing contest. The women reportedly were holding the, um, equipment, used in the competition and standing beside a rather ample supply of the bovine recycled product. OTRD officials said the picture did not present the right image. All bull aside, it was a cow chip throwing contest, not the Athens Olympics. The OTRD stepped in it all right, letting political correctness become its guide.

Youtube MP3 converters/legal music DL's?

Well giving links to ANY site that gives away free mp3's is illegal, so anyone seen giving links to such sites will face the wraith of the mods!
The musicians earn royalty from the sales of their music, so any legal source charges money and does not give them away for free.

Also, IMO Youtube have updated their methods so no known and legal downloaders work since no "Flash videos" are found.
And yes, if Youtube had allowed downloading of such stuff, they would have had an official service for this. And yes, copyrighted videos are automatically deleted by YouTube staff.

on mario on the DS you can play one player as Luigi, is it possible to select different charicters on one player on the wii. I ask cause Luigi is my sons favorite!!
Well colin, Boo67 is right, you can only play Luigi as P2 in multiplayer. I will, however, see if i can find a cheat to use Luigi as P1. The only way I know how is if you get a "Super Guide", exit its' guidance, and play as Luigi. I hope you find this useful!
Oh I just looked and no, you can't play as Luigi or one of the Toads without hacking (just edited).

'Being against intermarriage is like being against gravity,' says Reform leader, but jury is out on trend's long-term impact.
There was a time when American Jewish families sat shiva when a child married out of the faith. Even two or three decades ago the prevailing attitude was one of disappointment, embarrassment and regret, coupled with a parental commitment to make the best of it and hope the grandchildren would be raised as Jews.
Times have changed. With the increase in intermarriage has come greater communal acceptance, to the degree that for some Jewish religious leaders it is no longer standard to publicly endorse endogamy, or Jewish in-marriage. For them intermarriage is viewed as an opportunity to be embraced. And those who express deep concern about the American Jewish future based on the dramatic increase in interfaith weddings are perceived as sociological and theological Neanderthals, fighting a losing battle — indeed the wrong one — against a trend that represents an opportunity to assure the Jewish future.
Consider this excerpt from the major address given by Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, at last month's biennial of the Reform movement in San Diego.
"Incredibly enough … I still hear Jewish leaders talk about intermarriage as if it were a disease," he told some 5,000 constituents. "It is not. It is a result of the open society that no one here wants to close. The sociology is clear enough; anti-Semitism is down; Jews feel welcome; we mix easily with others; Jewish North Americans (researchers say) are more admired overall than any other religious group. So of course you get high intermarriage rates — the norm, incidentally, in the third or fourth generation of other ethnic groups as well.
"In North America today, being 'against' intermarriage is like being 'against' gravity; you can say it all you want, but it's a fact of life. And what would you prefer? More anti-Semitism? That people did not feel as comfortable with us?
"In any event, we practice outreach because it is good for the Jewish people. Interfaith couples can raise phenomenally committed Jewish families, especially when they do it in the Jewish community that is offered uniquely by the Reform movement."
It's true, as Rabbi Jacobs suggests, that interfaith couples can raise deeply committed Jews. I admire him and his work, and I hope his movement is successful in its ambitious plans to make that happen. But the jury is definitely out, with demographic experts debating whether the glass is half full or half empty, based on the findings of the recent Pew Research Center study on Jewish identity. The optimists acknowledge that while it is far more likely that children of intermarriage say they have no religion, 59 percent of that cohort who are adults under 30 say they are Jewish, a significant increase in recent years. "In this sense, intermarriage may be transmitting Jewish identity to a growing number of Americans," write Pew researchers Greg Smith and Alan Cooperman.
Others say that only a small percentage of adult children of intermarriage marry Jews, and that based on projections of current data, less than 10 percent of them will in turn raise their children as Jews. Sociologist Steven M. Cohen cites the remark of the late American Jewish Committee sociologist Milton Himmelfarb when asked what to call the grandchildren of intermarried Jews. "Christian," he said. (Cohen adds: "He was approximately 92 percent correct.)
Commenting on Rabbi Jacobs' biennial remarks, Cohen said he thought it "irresponsible" for the Reform leader not to promote Jews marrying Jews. "Isn't it an inherent obligation" for him to do so? he asked. And just because it may be going against the popular grain, "does that mean rabbis shouldn't encourage Shabbat observance, keeping kosher, etc.?"
Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, spiritual leader of Park Avenue Synagogue and a leading voice in the Conservative movement, shares that concern. "There is a difference between the descriptive condition of American Jewry and the role of Jewish leadership. It's not an either/or proposition," he said, adding that his community "will continue to unapologetically preach the value of endogamy — marrying within the Jewish faith — and we will unrepentantly work to facilitate the journey of would-be Jews into our family. I am, we are, in the business of creating Jewish homes."
So is the Reform community, Rabbi Jacobs says. He told me he agrees that "the issue is not endogamy vs. outreach, but how do we use the power, beauty and inspiration of Judaism to bring more [interfaith] families into the fold by practicing our leadership differently."
He described "the birth of outreach" as Rabbi Alexander Schindler's decision, as head of the Reform movement in the late 1970s, to endorse patrilineal descent. Rabbi Jacobs said "the finger-wagging of inreach is yesterday," and a turnoff for intermarried Jews who may be searching for ways "to make Jewish choices and live a Jewish life of purpose and depth."
His job, our job, is to be there for them, he said. He cited the benefits of what he calls "audacious hospitality," noting the number of dedicated people, including rabbis, he knows who have come to Judaism through its warmth. "That's the strategy for the Jewish future," Rabbi Jacobs said. "We have to engage the next generation with on-ramps" (to Jewish life) because "the majority of them will be the children of intermarriages, and potentially our leaders."
Potentially. Or they may disappear from the Jewish ranks.
While I don't think of intermarriage as "a disease," to cite Rabbi Jacobs' phrase, I do believe its becoming the norm poses a threat to the sustainability of American Jewish life.
I am not alone in this assessment. Last week about two dozen like-minded concerned Jews — including rabbis, sociologists, lay leaders and journalists (myself included) — came together for a five-hour meeting in Midtown. The purpose was to offer reflections on the data of the Pew study and, perhaps more importantly, discuss whether and how to call for a kind of communal intervention. In other words, to force leadership to recognize the trends that would seem to portend a sharp decrease in the number of Jewishly engaged non-Orthodox Jews in the U.S. over the next few decades due to increasing intermarriage, late marriage and low fertility rates.
In a paper called "Can We Have Continuity Without Jewish Content?" Steven Bayme, national director of the department of contemporary Jewish life at AJC, and Jack Wertheimer, a professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary, described to the group the current attitude of communal leaders as "a conspiracy of silence" in dealing with these issues. And they wrote that "a cascade of ever-lower expectations" is resulting in a "culture of consensus" appealing "only to the lowest common denominator" of Jewish identity and engagement.
One example of this "silence" is what appears to me to be a growing reluctance among rabbis and families to encourage the non-Jewish partner to convert before marriage. The thinking is not to pressure the fiancé (or more often, fiancée), and hope an interest in becoming Jewish will increase during the marriage. Or if that doesn't happen, that the non-Jewish partner will, at least, agree to raise the children as Jewish.
I plan to report more fully next week on the group's discussions, and the resulting proposals and implications. For now, I leave you with the approach of Barry Shrage, president of the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Boston; his community is seen as a leader in successfully reaching out to interfaith families.
"The important question is not how many Jews there are or will be," he wrote recently, "but rather what kind of Jewish life we want for our children and grandchildren and communities. What is 'a Jewish life' and how do we build it?"
What all sides – at least among the activists in this discussion – seem to agree on is the need for a strong communal response to the current drift, whether it's in the form of "audacious hospitality" or raising the bar of obligation and responsibility. For now, though, the quiet but perfect storm continues — increasing intermarriage, fewer children, less affiliation, and costly or insufficient Jewish educational opportunities. If our religious and communal leaders have neither the strategy, willingness nor fortitude to stem or reverse the tide, the battle is lost. But first we have to recognize that we are in crisis and agree on what we are fighting for.

Is anyone in the Orthodox world concerned that Ruth the Moabite did not have a proper conversion when she decided to follow Naomi and then to marry Boaz and that marriage eventually led to King David and ultimately to the Meshiach. Does this mean that the Meshiach will not be Jewish? Does it mean that the standards for conversion have become so much more onerous than the Halacha originally intended that Moshe Rabeinu (who married, well, let's not go there) would not recognize them? Just wondering...
You make the mistake of being a Fundamentalist - reading the literal words as being the whole of the story. Just writing here the story would take up many times the number of words. Suffice it to say that there is much more to the story than what appears in the text. For one thing, she definite went to the Mikve. Secondly, the circumstances were absolutely not comparable in terms of the condition of Jewish society and what their concerns were. Whether she went to Beit Din is just unknown. Certainly, when she says "Your God is my God and your people are my People are my People" this was essential and as there was only one kind of Judaism, she accepted Halachic Judaism.
Has anyone considered the following idea?
How about a new plan: No Jew left behind!
It is easy. We must think outside the box.
In the U.S.A. there is a traditional Jewish group called the Karaites. They are not rabbinic Jews. They only accept the written Tanach ie. not the Oral Law.
However, I would describe them as a "frum alternative" to Orthodox Judaism.
Why? Because they actually believe that in (written) Torah mi'Sinai.
As most of us know, a huge majority of Reform Jews and a large majority of Conservative Jews do not believe in Torah mi'Sinai.
Although, admittedly in Judaism belief is often considered not as important as practice, still if a person does not believe in even written Torah mi'Sinai, the likelihood of them seriously practicing Judaism is a lot less.
Basically beliefs can sometimes shape/ influence the observance of mitzvoth.
Let us isolate the problem. The problem is not so much with Jewish women who intermarry, since Rabbinic law dictates that their children are Jewish.
However, even though Reform has adopted patrilineal descent, the 90% or more of Reform Jews who are not either from Reform rabbinical families or connected to Reform rabbinical families/ inner circle of regular Shabbat attendees in Reform synagogues are unfortunately not even "frum Reform" people.
Therefore the adoption of patrilineal descent by U.S. Reform (it has not been adopted by Reform in Europe/Canada/ Israel) has not made much difference, unfortunately.
Also part of the problem with Jewish men intermarrying is that they feel rejected. Or their fiancées feel rejected. The reason is that since the broad mainstream of Judaism has not adopted patrilineal descent, there is still reluctance to accept intermarried couples specifically when the female partner is not Jewish.
Solution: we bankroll Karaite Judaism, a tiny movement (only about 5,000 in the U.S. and 50,000 total worldwide). Why? Because they are seriously frum, ADMITTEDLY in a non-Rabbinic way. Furthermore since they insist on patrilineal descent and NOT matrilineal descent, they are potentially a much more welcoming group than even Reform. Karaite Jews do observe kashrut, Shabbat, and many other mitzvoth which most Reform and most Conservative Jews have given up on. Yes, Karaites do not observe halacha in the Orthodox way, BUT they have their own halacha which largely parallels Orthodox halacha.
Please please please consider my idea carefully.
Don't you see why this is a solution? If a Jewish woman is intermarrying, the couple's potential kids are automatically accepted as Jewish even by the Orthodox.
If a Jewish man is intermarrying, the couple's potential kids are automatically accepted as Jewish by the Karaites, a non-Rabbinic but frum Jewish group.
Intermarriage (unfortunately) seems to be here to stay. But so is multi-drug resistant gonorrhea. That doesn't mean we should say 'oh well, let's say it's not a serious problem.' It is, & we need to find a solution.
This article was an eye opener and very well written.
I am a Puerto Rican woman (raised Catholic, but do not practice as I am now spiritual) who married a Russian-Jewish man in 2011. I am not Jewish. His parents did not approve and it was very difficult planning the wedding. Heck, it was difficult dealing with the fact that I was being judged for who I was and they judged their son for falling in love with me. It has been an uphill battle, which I pretty much washed my hands of when I decided to detach from the in-laws. What is the point of being around people who do not want to be around me? The only person I feel horrible for is my husband who wishes we could all get along, but he also understands that there is no reason to force myself into feeling alienated. I wasn't even allowed in their apartment for the first three years of our relationship. I just wish people would put religion aside and just realize that we're all human and we can't help who we love when it comes to consenting adults.
A more appropriate question seems to be "Where will this stop?" Rabbi Jacobs and the URJ have moved past interfaith marriages and are now endorsing same sex marriages. What next? Whether the URJ outreach to "non-traditional groups" is an honest effort to expand Judaism or just an effort to increase cash flow, the end result is the same...Reform Judaism is becoming less of a faith, and more of a social club for social and political liberals. At least that is the way I see it, so last year I terminated my affiliation with the only synagogue in the city in which I live. Apparently, the future of Judaism, for those like me, is online, as part of a virtual congregation.
Dear Gary Rosenblatt:
I read your essay ("A Call For 'Audacious Hospitality," 1/15/14) with great interest and will be curious to see your follow-up essay next week with its recommendations.
I have mixed feelings about your group's approach. If 70 percent of all non-Orthodox Jews who married in the last decade married people who are not Jewish, then I think promoting inmarriages may not the best strategy for dealing with Jewish disaffiliation and population declines.
I hope your group will address this question: If the majority of non-Orthodox American Jews will be adult children and grandchildren of intermarriage in 20 to 30 years -- or sooner -- shouldn't the Jewish community begin formal, ongoing outreach to them?
At the present time the mainstream Jewish community does not have any organized, ongoing outreach entirely focused on half-Jewish people. The only groups reaching out to them are volunteer groups composed of other half-Jewish people, like my group, the Half-Jewish Network.
Programs for interfaith couples with young children have no impact on adult children of intermarriage, many of whom are raised by intermarried parents who are frozen out of the Jewish community before their children are born.
Young adult children of intermarriage whose intermarried parents did place them in "raising Jewish children" outreach programs often find as adults that they are trying to live in Jewish communities that do not always welcome them.
Wouldn't it be better to prepare for the future majority by creating programs to welcome and integrate them?
It would make the difference between a Jewish community composed of the adult children and grandchildren of intermarriage living as they do today, most of whom are pushed to the fringes of the Jewish community or entirely outside of it -- even though they are about 50 percent of all Jewish Millenials --
or a Jewish community composed of half-Jewish people who are deeply interested and involved in Judaism and reading this newspaper.
Adult children and grandchildren of intermarriage would like the same level of outreach that interfaith couples have received, targeted to their own specific needs.
Half-Jewish people would like to see welcoming pamphlets, speeches, policy papers, films, DVDs, lists of friendly rabbis and shuls, and films dealing with the perspective of adult children of intermarriage -- resources that are routinely made available to interfaith couples.

Exactly. Is this what we want?y
Dear Sirs,
Are you acquainted with the concept of religious freedom? Do you value a person's right to make choices based on their own conscience? What about simple hospitality towards any human being regardless of their beliefs? What about the word 'love'?
There are assumptions in the article that need to be confronted and answered, one way or another. Then sides chosen. Regardless, the all or nothing approach has left me choosing the nothing. I suggest all who find themselves in similar circumstances do the same.
There are far more welcoming communities everywhere in the United States. How many respectable groups in the United States reject their own because they are not to their own liking? (suggested terms for the rejected: halfbreed, intermarrier, Kipah-srugah apikores, Mets fan). I do not feel the need to kowtow to narrow minded bigots. Having the conversation itself is offensive; should we reject or accept that wanna-be member? Really, is that the question? Some things are not worthy of continuity.
Lech Lecha young sirs, because the world is full of people with open and accepting arms, with nothing but love; no notarized birth certificates or DNA approval applications required.
May the force be with you!
I applaud Rabbi Rick Jacobs' comments at the URJ Biennial and to Gary Rosenblatt ("A Call For 'Audacious Hospitality'," Jan. 15). Rabbi Jacobs is right that "finger-wagging" is a turnoff for intermarried Jews and their partners who might otherwise make Jewish choices. Mr. Rosenblatt professes not to think of intermarriage as a "disease," but that is the message that he and Messrs. Cohen, Bayme and Wertheimer convey. The communal intervention they seek to encourage in-marriage would be a roadblock to the "on-ramps to Jewish life" that Rabbi Jacobs rightly wants to build for the majority of the next generation who will be the children of intermarriages.

What you fail to even mention once in the article are both the concern of the intermarried person's offspring actually being Jewish at all and additionally the grave sin of marrying a non-Jew.
If a Jewish man were to marry a non-Jewish woman their offspring are in fact not Jewish, regardless of how committed and devoted they are to Judaism. Besides for which, the man has committed a grave sin which has very tragic ramifications. If a Jewish woman were to marry a non-Jewish man their offspring would be Jewish but without any Torah recognized lineage and obviously, considering the circumstances, very unlikely to lead a Halachically committed life. And, like the Jewish man, the Jewish woman who marries a non-Jew has also committed a very grave sin with tragic ramifications.
These should be the main focus of any conversation with regards to intermarriage- to educate people of the seriousness of their actions. And obviously once the subject is properly understood one would see that any sort of hospitality for such couples and families, without the intention to convert the non-Jewish spouse, is improper.
The notion that Judaism can only be properly preserved if it is protected from invasion of "outsiders" like an exclusive "club" by arbitrary rules of exclusion based on man-made notions of who is/is not subject to the rules of exclusion is a large part of the reason the entire debate over intermarriage is even necessary. I would suggest to anyone who feels their own sense of identification as a Jew is threatened by the notion of outreach to and intermarriage of Jews with non-Jews--even when the non-Jews have shown an acceptance of Judaism to the extent of conversion and raising the children as Jews--needs to look inward rather than outward.
If we are talking about a case of conversion, then we are not discussing an intermarriage. If we are not, then I am willing to stand by the arbitrary, man-made, notional, exclusionary rule that our club will only accept members who want to join. Or we could put outsiders in scare-quotes and accept the ruling of Galatians 3:28, if not the reason for it.
"Any sort of hospitality... is improper"?
Well, that is a sure fire way to be mekarev them and to get them to even remotely consider the possibility of living a remotely Jewish life and of considering raising their children as Jewish. Nothing like being a terrific role model of menchlekeit to get these folks to see the grave sin that they have committed.
