By Kevin Wilson: CNJ staff writer
Pete Domenici's been serving New Mexico for four decades, and I hope one of his greatest acts of service doesn't go ignored.
Domenici, who is leaving the Senate due to health reasons, made an address to what is the final state Legislature of his Senate career. The longtime Republican spoke not of universal health care or fighting terrorism, but of seeking an end to partisan politics.
"I don't regard you as liberals or conservatives, but as fellow leaders trying to do your best," Domenici said. "We must put aside these simplistic labels and the politics of character assassination that are too prominent today."
My first reaction was to question the source. Doesn't Domenici belong to a party that charged in 2006 a vote for Democrats was a vote for terrorists? And hasn't Domenici been the subject of an ethics investigation because he might have pressured a U.S. attorney to make an investigation public in time to hurt Democrats before the 2006 election?
But then I look at the career of Domenici, and I know he passes my bottom line for elected officials — he works to make my life a little better. Plus, he's been talking about the dangers of partisanship ever since the first time I met him a few years ago. It's not just a moment of clarity for somebody regretting things that have happened in Washington.
Besides, the message is right regardless of who delivers it. It disgusted me back in 2004 when people were more willing to belittle John Kerry's war injuries than to make the case of why George W. Bush had earned a second term as president. Likewise, it does little to mockingly call Bush "The Decider" unless it comes with a substantive criticism of specific decisions and a realistic assessment of how other decisions would play out.
We need to cheer those who have already shown commitment to working together. When Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., talks about the need to "reach across the aisle" to get things done in Washington, that should be accepted as one of his benefits as a candidate.
When Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., speaks of how we shouldn't view ourselves as red states or blue states, but the United States, it shouldn't simply be dismissed as empty prose.
By the same token, we need to point out examples of partisanship getting in the way of progress. Shame should be cast on Republicans who are retiring not because of health reasons or because they feel they can't help their constituents, but because they don't like being in the minority party and are choosing to take their ball and go home with a fat Congressional retirement package.
Likewise, shame should be cast on the media that see the 2008 election as merely a horserace for ratings. Viewers shouldn't tune in when a media outlet decides its going to repeatedly play Joe Biden's insult of Rudy Giuliani and pretend nothing happened when John Edwards and Bill Richardson announced their short lists for a potential cabinet included both Democrats and Republicans.
Clovis voters get a chance to prove they're above partisan politics in less than a month, when they can choose the person who will make their lives a little better as mayor.
Hopefully, it's great practice for November, when we should ask ourselves how our lives will get better with a new president, a new senator and possibly three new House members for New Mexico.
At the very least, we owe it to Domenici after 36 years of service.

Natalia Kills has recently been on tour opening up for pop star Robyn, and that where I first heard her music. She was pushing her single "Mirrors" and when I say push I mean she was giving it away for free if you said hello to her at the merch booth. I am not really big on singles, but "Mirrors" had me at the first bar. It's produced by Will.am.i and features Akon.
Her debut album, Perfectionist, is due out this summer and she has some major superstars backing her album. Being on Will.am.i's imprint label isn't too bad for a talented young lady who is just 24 years old.
Natalia also just released a teaser video trailer for her new song "Wonderland," You can catch that here.
For her live show, it was amazing. Are you sitting down for this one? Natalia actually sings! Yes, she sings and she can dance and not get winded. I guess that's the plus side to only being 24 years old. The downside to her show in Milwaukee is her set was only 3 songs long. That particular night it was Robyn's comeback from cancelling several previous shows including a big show in Chicago. The show started an hour and a half later than scheduled and Natalia Kills was cut short.
I know next time she comes around I'll be there for it and I recommend you do the same.

brown does not deserve the money, he did not do his job; its like hiring somebody to fix ur computer and the person comes and breaks the computer than u fire him do u still pay that person hell no
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]A much-needed fresh start awaits the Knicks when they open training camp in a little more than two weeks, but just before that, there will be some sad reminders of the past season. That's when the next episode of the Larry Brown soap opera is expected to take place.
The Knicks and Brown will go before NBA commissioner David Stern, who will serve as arbitrator, to determine how much the Knicks owe Brown from the four years and $40 million remaining on his five-year contract.
Brown was fired after one tumultuous season that produced only 23 wins.
Knicks president Isiah Thomas will take the bench in his place this season. A person with knowledge of the situation said Sept. 29 is the date the sides will get together in Manhattan. The date makes sense because Stern plans to be out of the country in early October to attend a series of international preseason games from Oct. 5-11. Though the specifics of Stern's travel schedule aren't set, Sept. 29, a Friday, likely is the last business day open for him to attend a hearing before the start of preseason camps.
brown does not deserve the money, he did not do his job; its like hiring somebody to fix ur computer and the person comes and breaks the computer than u fire him do u still pay that person hell no
thats actually an almost perfect analogy. but just to kill this larry-knicks drama lets just give him the money and let him be
I don't even feel like talking about LB anymore...let's just move on from him and the rest of his negativity...
for a season like that last year he dont deserve that money. but since its in the contract you have to give it to him right?
yeah its not as easy as the computer analogy (although nicely done haha).
this is different from say hiring a technician or such because this is a guaranteed contract. the only way they even have a smither of a chance of not paying larry is ONE of two things..
either they heavily bring evidence or stress the fact that larry was trying to sabotage the season in order to get Isiah fired. (which is possible to do with the lineup changes, press talks, disobeying owner, and trying to make trades behind his back).
you plow everything you can and wink at David Stern who hates Larry Brown.
in the end i think something will happen where either we pay in full OR stern helps us out cuts the cost and Larry goes higher up (courts and such) to get his money.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
I think Larry Brown will get his money unless he violated the terms of his contract. Which I don't think he did. I don't think "sabatoging" the season or disobeying the owner (Jim Dolan is a retard anyway, who would listen to him), qualifies as violating the terms of his contract.
Larrys contract: 40 million remaining on his 5 years.
Ok so has he been paid $10 million for his year as the knicks coach last year?
If so, why pay a man anymore than for the year he has served, when he's no longer contributing to the knicks any longer?
Pay him for what efforts (regardless if they were good or bad) he has made to the organisation and leave it there.
If it a contract of 50 million for 5 years then give him 10 million and let's move on..
Why he pushes to get more from the organisation shows truly what his character and his intentions were from New York to begin with...
To squeeze as much money from the Knicks, secure his finances much better for retirement and go on vacation sipping tequilas and pina coladas with his family.
He should be happy that he actually got paid for his miserable efforts last year. If he was truly one of the great coaches of all time, he would have bit his tongue, not accepted any money to begin with for embarrasing the franchise and not living up to any expectations of greatness at all. He really should be paying the knicks.
Brown did a bad job with this team, but why blame him when the idiotic management that runs this team, is the one that was dumb enough to give him a GUARANTEED contract. On top of that, they fired him....it's not as if he quit and left (at least not officially). He has every right to ask for every last cent that's GUARANTEED on his contract. I have no sympathy for Dolan/Isiah/Mills...such stupidity and incompetence doesn't deserve it.
I agree with the bad move of management by the guaranteed contract and i agree that larry brown has every right to ASK for every cent but who would have predicted such a ridiculous season by a hall of fame material coach??
What i am saying is that he doesn't deserve any of it. Why? because he isn't doing anything with the knicks to contribute to the remaining 4 years on that contract. Its like getting a job and getting fired. Does the job keep paying you for the next 4 years for not being there while you are making money at your next job? Hey if we could all do that, I would make sure i got fired at every job and be a rich man. Hey maybe Larry was thinking the same thing...
Larrys rauting the system and he didn't stand up to the contract. The reason he got that contract was to turn the franchise around and get them to the playoffs. He couldn't handle the pressure of the Garden and he actually turned the Knicks the other way round by making them the most embarrasing joke team of the season.
Why he should get anymore money for what he's done is beyond me.
Lets hope Stern can see things that way and save the Knicks some money to afford some talented championship players on the roster instead of wasting it on the likes of Lazy Jerome James and many other past blunders like Houstons contract.
Come on Garnett!.. Get over the who's going to who's team with Marbury and just leave the Wolves. Surely you have been there long enough to know they aren't going anywhere for a long time while Isiah MUST make things happen now. Sounds like you 2 guys have similiar goals!
Imagine the Big Ticket in the Big Apple!!!
Time to revive your career and put the New version of Malone and Stockton together once and for all!
What you're saying is that Larry shouldn't ask for the money because he doesn't deserve it. Ethically speaking you're right...but get real...if you had that much money sitting in front of you that some dumbass owner guaranteed you, would you give it up so easily? If you say yes, then you're crazy. And it's not as if he owes this organization anything. Especially since Larry found out about his impending firing in the newspaper while he was in the hospital of all places, and not in person.
A contract is a contract, and since Larry was fired, he can easily say that he wasn't given the chance to live up to it (which to an extent is true). It's not as if he walked away. I don't see anyway that he doesn't get all of this money. And besides, even if he does, that's no impediment to signing other players. If money was an issue, then this mess of a roster could have never been assembled.
As for Garnett on the Knicks...it would be awesome, and we can dream, but I'll believe it when I see it. As long as Isiah is in this organization you can count on more braindead signings taking place.
What i am saying is that Larry doesn't DESERVE it. There is a difference between ASKING for it and deserving it. Sure Larry go ahead and ask for the money and give it a go. Yeah i'd try it because I got nothing to lose. Sure an extra 40 Mill in my pocket would be sweet as candy! All Larry can do is hope and gain from this. There is no loss on his part, but reaping in some extra cash. If he didn't get it, i am sure he wouldn't be complaning because he hasn't honored his part of his contract either fired or not fired. That's the facts. Larry stated he doesn't want to coach in one of the articles i read, and I'll bet dollars to donuts that the Knicks are at the top of that list now.
My point is that if Larry is not contributing to the remaining 4 years of the 40 million on his contract, he should not get anything. Simply put, my opinion.
If i got fired from a job, i don't expect them to pay me for not being there and doing any part of the job. However if there is a loophole in the system that can get me extra dollars, sure lets try our tits off to get it. Most people would. Money in my pocket is better than not right? But if i did not get it, i wouldn't be sweatin and losing any sleep on this.
Anyway I am a Knicks supporter and i would rather see the Knicks have that extra money and chance to get a superstar like KG in our team and bring our cap even lower than see the lameduck coach run away with it so he can enjoy a better life outside the nba. Sure the Knicks were dumb enough to give him a 5 year deal worth that much, but like i said, he was better off fired now rather than later.With Thomas running the show at least he will run a system suitable for the players so they are much more happier playing in the organisation instead of being unhappy.
Buy Out Burger James !!! Trade Jefferies, Nate, Malik & Fred Jones !!! Bring Artest Back Home and trade whoever to get Kobe to NY !!!
he does'nt want 40m... he wants 52+ mill
the extra $$ is to pay for his attoney/and his pain and suffering...
my feeling is that he and dolan signed a contract, dolan fired him, so the $$$ are due to brown...
now whether he has 'earned' the $$ or deserve them is another story..
actually i admire brown... he keeps getting these large multi-year contracts, stays a year /two/three, leaves, gets a large pile of $$, and then takes another job and starts the process one more time...
he plays the system, and laughs all the way back to east hampton with a bag full of $$$...

Peggy Hosek's Rising Stars "pink reunion team" formed when the girls--who donned shiny pink uniforms--were in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades.
Over the next eight years, the girls have grown to become some of the most decorated high school athletes in south Texas, earning multi-sport championships at all-levels as well as numerous individual all-state, all-region, all-area and all-district recognition.
Despite very busy schedules, the Varsity Rising Stars were able to participate in two National Travel Basketball Association tournaments, and the Greater-Austin Mid-America Basketball League tournament in June.
The team earned a record of 13-2 with a narrow loss to a 5A team from the Dallas/Ft. Worth-area and a buzzer-beater loss to 4A Kerrville-Tivy who won with a last-second "Hail-Mary".
All of the girls, as well as TABC Hall-Of-Fame (retired) Coach Peggy Hosek, are looking forward to the upcoming high school basketball season, as well as the opportunity to play each others' school teams this season.

Robert "Buzz" Kross '87 helps lead a company with an understated name—Autodesk—but the $1.7 billion software firm is a major player and worldwide leader in 2D and 3D design, which supports everything from the design of BMWs and Apple iPads to digital movie effects.
Kross serves as senior vice president of the manufacturing industry group, which responds to the needs of mechanical engineers, designers and drafters. His division of 1,400 employees develops and markets software for designing products that vary from medical devices like cochlear hearing implants to RKS electric guitars to Arctic Spa whirlpools. Included in his division are design products for industrial machinery, consumer products and building products, equipment and fabrication. The group's core products include AutoCAD Mechanical and Autodesk Inventor software, which allows users to go beyond three-dimensional designs to digital prototyping.
"Autodesk is a volume player with 10 million legal customers across the globe," says Kross. "I say legal customers, versus the 30 million who use our products without payment or permission."
In an industry that grows by double digits nearly every business quarter, Kross says the company does more than keep up with new technologies. "We're among those making new technologies happen," he says. "It's so fast-paced; everything is aggressive and very competitive."
The media and entertainment division of Autodesk boasts that every Oscar-winning movie for digital effects over the past 15 years has used its Digital Entertainment Creation software.
Kross' division is based in Lake Oswego, OR, a suburb of Portland, while company headquarters are in San Rafael, CA. Travel is a large part of Kross' job because the software is built at 12 sites around the globe, and he frequently is visiting places like Shanghai, Singapore, Munich, Prague and Australia.
Kross says that he could have never predicted the outcome of his career as he studied computer science and business at North Central. After serving in the military, Kross was pursuing a career in engineering at General Electric in the Chicago area when he decided to complete his bachelor's degree. Then a resident of Carol Stream, Kross decided that North Central's Weekend College would best suit his needs. "At the time, I didn't have any background in computer science," he explains. "And there was no other way to finish my degree. Weekend College was somewhat revolutionary at the time. I paid tuition as I went and it was worth every penny."
Among the benefits were the general business courses he took, like accounting and management. "I use those skills every day," he adds.
After graduation and his years at General Electric, Kross co-founded and ran Woodbourne, Inc., a company that grew from four to 30 people while supplying design tools for the AutoCAD platform. The company was acquired by Autodesk in 1993 and Kross joined the firm as director for the manufacturing division. Now he manages a division with $700 million in annual revenue that is crucial to the success of his customers in the competitive marketplace.
"Our customers rely on Autodesk software to design and build great products that are changing the world," he adds.

Mac Patterson's, crusade to pioneer a new kind of architecture is in keeping with New Canaan's history of leading building-design trends: It was a center of the Midcentury Modern movement from the late 1940s through the 1960s, during which 80 such homes were built in town. It was the locus of the movement's experimentation with materials, construction methods, open space, and form.
The era began when a small group of graduate design students–Philip Johnson, Landis Gores, John Johansen, and Eliot Noyes–and their teacher, Marcel Breuer, settled in New Canaan. Dubbed "the Harvard Five," they began creating homes in a style that bucked traditional thought and practice, using new materials and open floor plans. Perhaps the most famous of these works is Johnson's "Glass House" on Ponus Ridge. Other architects, among them Frank Lloyd Wright, also contributed significant designs that still elicit strong reactions.

The good life in Bradford
After seeing some TV advertisements for jobs recently in Towanda and other parts of Bradford County, where natural gas drilling is already taking place, and where a recent spill occurred, I decided to take a ride out there. On arrival I saw a town that was booming. People were cheerful; they looked happy and were very friendly. They did not hesitate to talk about gas drilling and how it is improving their economy. Gas companies are looking for truck drivers, security guards and laborers. Restaurants are seeking waitresses and other help. Motels were filled with signs saying "No Vacancy." Supermarkets and mini-markets looked busy. I felt like I was in a different world compared to Sullivan County, NY.
I did see protesters holding signs about the accident and spill that recently occurred here. Chesapeake Energy Co. replaced a damaged wellhead, thus bringing everything under control. Tests have shown this spill had no effect on environment issues.
It seems that whenever someone slips on a banana peel, the anti-drilling protesters are right there. I did take notice, by talking to the protesters, that many were not from this immediate area, which gave me the impression of them being "professional protesters" because they will go anywhere to protest against drilling for natural gas.
I did not see any devastation of the environment or contamination of drinking water. I did not see or hear of any livestock being sickened from polluted water. I did not hear of people complaining from taking showers that lead to skin rashes and other medical problems. I did not notice dead fish floating in their streams. In fact, the Pennsylvania trout fishing season just opened and the streams were filled with fishermen catching trout and apparently enjoying themselves.
I was told that a farmer who leased his 250-acre farm for natural gas drilling has five working well pads on his land and is receiving royalties of $22,000 a week or $88,000 a month for a yearly income total of $1,056,000. He expects the gas company to be producing gas for at least 10 years.
I ask anyone who doubts what I saw in Bradford County to take a ride and see for yourself.
Recently, when the Highland Town Board presented resolutions to the county legislature and asked for their support, Sullivan County Legislator Frank Armstrong is reported to have said, "While I agree with the intent of taking care of roads, what this really is an anti-drilling statement. And if they're asking the county for support on this issue, I think that's the wrong direction we need to go in, especially in hard economic times." Public Works Commissioner Bob Meyer also indicated that industries like gas drilling are important to New York's economy.
We need more people like Armstrong and Meyer to sound off. They realize the jobs and benefits that natural gas drilling would have for our county and New York State.
I am an environmentalist and have been one all my life. I own a 100-acre fishing lake in Bethel, and I believe the geologists, the experts and the knowledgeable people when they tell me they can drill for natural gas beneath my lake and not pollute it or any other waterway in Sullivan County. I know what natural gas drilling will do for the economy in Sullivan County and New York State.
Sullivan County, what are we waiting for? Drill, baby, drill.
[Jack Danchak is a resident of Swan Lake, NY.]
You are so right, Jack!
Today's Scranton paper (June 27,2011):
Each of the Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. wells in Dimock Twp., Susquehanna County, is capable of producing 30 million cubic feet per day - believed to be a record for the Marcellus and enough gas to supply nearly 1,000 homes for a year. The landowners attached to the wells, who leased the well access, numbering fewer than 25, are splitting hundreds of thousands of dollars in monthly royalties.
"There was definitely excitement among the team that planned out these wells and executed their completion," said Cabot spokesman George Stark.
Drilling companies knew the Marcellus held a lot of gas. They just had to figure out a way to get it out, and they say they're getting better at it all the time.
The result is that the Marcellus, a rock formation beneath Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Ohio, has turned out to be an even more prolific source of gas than anyone anticipated. Energy firms are boosting their production targets, not only because new wells are coming on line but also because they're managing to coax more gas from each well

Washington, Pa
TheNatural had the pleasure of hearing a few neighbors relate their recent experiences in Washington, Pa at a hearing by some Department of Energy panel. Commenter after commenter that spoke before the panel told how much gas drilling has improved their lives. It was very heart warming to see a healthy economy based on a product that is needed by all and helps this nation gain energy independence. There was a blow-out in that county months ago that obstructionists claimed was the end of days. It was handled, no one died, all is well, and the economy flourishes. These people strongly support gas drilling.
Joshy Fox filmed himself give his usual "no gas is safe" speech and then rushed to his camera to film his adoring fan as he stood and cheered the brilliance that is Fox. Jester was asked once again as he was leaving about what gas company offered him so much more to lease his dad's property than anyone else was offered, but he declined to comment. A man that signed up to speak in the #28 slot read all the names listed before him and the Fox name did not appear. Guess what. Fox spoke before him and the #28 man somehow slid back to #38 on the speaker list. Funny how that works.
The neighbors said the trip was a real eye opener and made them realize how good things will be in Wayne County when gas drilling gears up. Mr. Danchek has only seen the beginnings of the benefits of natural gas extraction.
the natural's comment was paid for by Energy in Depth?
Yes, thenatural's neighbors who made the trip out to Washington PA, all expenses paid for by Energy in Depth, and organized by our own Energy in Depth's local rep, Tom Shepstone, to make a two minute statement to the panel headed by John Deutch, the chemical engineer on the board of Cheniere? Energy? What an industry sided panel (six of seven members?),appointed by President Obama's energy czar Chu! What a travesty!
A panel that should be gathering info from people whose health has been negatively impacted by shale gas drilling, has the majority of speaking slots taken up by a group that has been flown, or bussed in from a few hundred miles away, hotel paid for, along with meals, by Energy in Depth, to simply state that such drilling is an economic godsend?
What a tremendous waste of money and time.
the energy panel was made up of energy experts. They could not round up enough bad actors, sleazy film makers, whining second home owners, and performance artists to form an alternate panel. Jester Fox was even there. The neighbors said he gave a talk that amazed himself then rushed to his camera to video the reaction from his adoring fan. On the way out, Fox was asked point blank what company offered him $100K to lease his dad's property, but he had no response. He painted himself into a corner with that bogus bit of fluff he tossed into his mockumentary. Many people at the affair chuckled about his trailer trashing and eagerly await the next Fox epic, tentatively titled "Trailer Trashland". Some claimed that the now famous voodoo math was used when signing up speakers as somehow Fox slid in the lower speaker numbers in a mysterious fashion.
Name a beer after it!
Goes to show you how different our experiences can be. I've spent time in Bradford County and met people who had anything but the "good life" as a result of their experience with gas drilling. One gentleman lost his drinking water almost immediately after drilling started on a well pad next to his house; after that there was leakage of a dark, foul-smelling substance through the side of the pad embankment that might have been flowback waste material which Chesapeake spent weeks desperately trying to clean up. Bradford "Good Life""? This fellow's quality of life is ruined and he can't afford to move.
I photographed 4 upper middle class homes on a single road near Towanda that had the signature setup of 3 requisite items in the "Bradford Good Life": 1) a methane vent jutting up from the front lawn to let methane escape from the water well into the atmosphere to avoid explosion (adding to greenhouse effect, global warming and climate change about which nobody seems to care); 2) an unsightly water buffalo containing water to replace their ruined well water for bathing and cleaning, 3) their drinking water was either replaced via plastic bottles with surreal "Chesapeake Energy" labels or by a filtration system to remove toxic substances and/or the methane which is said not to be toxic altho explosive (jury's out on health effects of methane in drinking water as few studies have been done on long-term consumption of methanated water). Perhaps Mr Danchak would find the "good life" in drinking methane-laced or brown well water or letting his children or grandchildren drink it. He (and/or the gas company) might insist the water was always that way so it couldn't be the driller's fault; he was drinking all that brown water before the driller began drilling. Ah, yum yum, tasty! A family purchased a lovely house for the better part of a mil with full knowledge of methane in the water and sludge oozing from faucets. Yeah, sure.
Name a beer after it! Bradford Good Life!
These were only the houses where these hallmarks of the Shale Age were visible; other houses had these setups out of sight behind their houses. By the way, their property values have sunk like a rock and three of these families are suing the gas company individually for alleged ruination of their water.
Oh, and when I first entered Wyalusing my eyes and throat were stinging from the polluted air, and the roads were deeply rutted and torn up from the heavy frack truck traffic. Part of the stinging from the air came from the diesel exhaust fumes from the frack trucks. People get used to the air stinging their eyes and throats, takes only a few hours. But that doesn't mean the pathological process stops. The health effects just go inside and their symptoms will likely reappear in other forms later.
The Bradford Good Life! Here comes our future when the DRBC drops the flag to let drilling begin over here in the Delaware River watershed. What a godawfully stupid and negligent decision that will be. What job is worth the ruination of our air and water, our environment and our health? Name that one job or those 100 jobs or 1000 jobs or that amount of lease cash. There is nothing that is worth it and the only advantage you have in your position, Mr Danchak, is the fact that it hasn't happened to you yet.

I Like Beer!
How about Wicked Ale? Already taken. How about Picken's Sweet Lite Crude? Or Sheister's BrewHaHa? Or StillNoFishKill Swill? Or Economic Stout? Or FauxFoxFroth? Or Obstructionist AleMent? Or Extremist Pilsner Agenda (EPA)? That last one was a stretch.
Sorry if I can't take this seriously.
Mr. John Danchak, Jr., the author above, alludes to the fact that he owns about 172.2 acres in Bethel, NY. It is clear that he envisions gaining his financial dream through this industrial development. It is also clear that he hopes to pursuade people by portraying this polluting, industrial, development as the means of providing the "good life" to the entire community, which is terribly far from the truth, rather than simply, "It's my property, drill baby drill".
It is the small minority of land owners, who have large properties, such as himself, along with the 250 acre fellow in Bradford, that he describes, who stand to benefit above the downsides of this development. The rest is speculation, and a crap shoot in a casino, where the odds are stacked against the community as a whole.
Never have so few, stood to gain so much, at the expense of the majority. The rest is boomtown propaganda, that has very little to do with the projected reality of our rural, residential communities.
The more peer reviewed, science based, study, and experience, that is learned about this new shale gas extraction process, the greater the peeling away of the pro shale gas propaganda.
Everyone should continue to keep their ears, and eyes, wide open. Don't be afraid, be very skeptical, especially when someone offers you that "free lunch".
If Jack Danchak lives in Swan Lake, NY, who is John Danchak, Jr. that has leased 134.61 acres in Buckingham Township, Wayne County, to Hess?
I guess under certain circumstances, if I went to Bradford County, and spoke only with people who are profiting from the shale gas extraction, I'd be looking through my rose colored glasses at the glass half (or more) full, too.
It would be nice if Mr. Jack Danchak would broaden his "view", to include the multiple dozens of households (the number is now reported to be over 100), in Bradford, that have had their drinking water contaminated by, at the least, explosive levels of methane. There have been less than 700 Marcellus gas wells drilled thus far in Bradford. That is a rate of contamination of higher than 1 household water source contaminated, to 7 Marcellus gas wells drilled.
Neither the gas companies, nor the PADEP, have yet stepped up to the plate in nearly a sufficient fashion.
Perhaps, the happy lessors can start a water replacement fund to pay to alleviate, or remediate, the contaminations resulting from shale gas extraction?
Perhaps then, their view would not be so rosy, and they might have a little more consideration for those who are suffering the intolerable impacts of this "good life".
Classic JB Maneuver
Let me guess, Mr. Barth, you couldn't wait to google, wikipedia, whathaveyou Mr. Danchak in an ill conceived attempt at digging up some dirt on the poor fellow to toss about the comment section as you have done countless times in the past to people who are careless enough to use their real names. Find out a guy owns some leased property and speculate on his intentions, eh? All I can say to that is: cowardly. On the bright side however, have you noticed that the editorials are also now authorless? Must be difficult for you, no? Perhaps more difficult than, say, percentages?
TheHick's Bull Shtick
No Google, no wiki (pedia or leaks), just the Citizens Voice public leasing information for Wayne County, and the PA and Sullivan County public tax assessment information websites.
Does finding out the fact that Mr. Danchak owns a lot of property, and has already leased the PA property (if that is his property), and would obviously like to lease his Bethel, NY property (if he hasn't already) constitute "digging up dirt on the poor fellow"?
I see it as exposing the obvious, and primary reason for his viewpoint, optimism, and enthusiasm for such drilling.
When this "poor fellow", to use TheHick's description, is expressing the opinion in these TRR pages, that this extraction makes "the good life" for everyone in Bradford, and will do the same in Sullivan, and Wayne, after I vomited, I responded, with some solid info.
This is "cowardly" to TheHick?
Quite to the contrary, it is his constant behavior that is cowardly, whether anonymous on websites, or anonymous in real life, like the American Waters Delaware River press conference last year, when he wormed around the crowd, sneaking up behind me, and others, and then, crowed about it the next day in the Wayne Independent.
What a gallant, brave, moral, man.
JB knows all about morality. He would never stoop so low as to bring up a person's prescription meds or marital status based on some crap he dug up online. But hey, why bring up the past? Stall, stall, fear, stall, repeat. If you have no valid argument, attack the messenger. How's that math class going?
Hick knows little about a lot
The Hick simply accuses others, of his own crimes. It is a little like the little boy who singsongs "I'm rubber, you're glue, what ever you say, bounces off me and sticks to you".
And, the Hick is a little boy, as we all can tell. He plays hide and seek, falsely identifies himself as film characters, calls others names, and accuses others who write under a real name, of being a coward, while he hides, afraid, in the dark, under a silly pen name.
He writes that I have no valid argument, when that is mostly all that I present, along with information. While, it is he who writes the kind of posts he has become known for.
I invite all who want to know him, to read here, or even more depressingly, in the Wayne Independent.
This is why TRR's online blog will fail. I will not post, and others who want to write under real names, will not post, because there is nothing to gain, everything to lose, while going back and forth in such a demeaning situation.
I continually challenge TheHick, the alternate side of his person, TheNatural, and TRR, to show courage, become real citizens, engage in a real dialog, in a real country. This is a very useless enterprise, a waste of time, otherwise.
As a longtime supporter of TRR, I hoped for so much more when the publication took this online road. I'm sorry to say that it is failing, miserably.
Dialogue Shmialogue
You don't want dialogue, you want conformity to your opinion. If one is so bold as to disagree or point out your epic math fail, you become angry and want them removed. I think the TRR is doing a stellar job and I can't help but notice more comments all the time. It would be nice to see a hit count difference between the time the TRR started the comment section and now. You see, this drilling is good for business and the TRR is raking in its fair share.
Also, "Don't Let Them Create an Industrial Zone"
A letter by Richard Kreznar, has generated 15 "comments" by three pen names. What are they? TheNatural, TheHick, and oibu. Wow, that is what TheHick describes as "...more comments all the time"?
TheHick/Natural love the sound of their own name. Yes, TRR is "raking in its fair share" of TheHick/Natural. That can not be denied.
Did TheHick, who says he lives in the SRB, ever purchase a TRR, or take out an ad? Did his twin coin flip, Natural, who says he lives on a "ponderosa" in the western edge of the DRB, ever purchase a TRR, or take out an ad?
Ooh, a one hundred year flood of BS is rising.
If one drops out the two of them, me, and oibu, how many comments would there be?
I do enjoy life in the SRB. I debunk obstructionist junk in the DRB pro bono. It is its own reward! What ad might I take out? Perhaps one on proper investments for shalionaires? or one on tuning hippie banjos?
Once again,
TheHick brings a smile to many faces with his clever responses to Mr. Barth's tired old refrain. Mr. Barth is enraged that the accepted internet custom of anonymous commenting even exists. He wants names so he can find out more about his worthy opponents. The message is in the text, not in the name of the contributor. Mr. Barth tries to insult and demean us anonymous commenters at every turn, even at the expense of his obstructionist allies. Why not stick to the subject matter, Mr. Barth? Voodoo math indicates you are ahead on points, if not patience. You shun open discussion and differing opinions and beg to have this forum limited to a few narcissists that love to see their name and opinion in print. Ideas need no name. They stand or fail on their own merits. TheHick, TheNatural, and even Obie are content to present ideas and opinions and discuss them. Only you, Mr. Barth, feel a higher calling, along with a large amount of name calling.
Envy, Envy, Envy
Mr. Barth is the poster child for property envy. He equates everything into money he will not be receiving. TheHick and Mr. Danchek hit the nail on the head. Most people that live in the area are badly in need of an economic shot in the arm. Gas drilling is that shot.
Straw men
Mr. Natural is the poster child for fabricating false, and empty motivations behind his opponent's comments. He can do this because he is a cartoon character, hiding, in cowardly fashion, behind anonymity. He can do this because TRR continues to allow these empty posts of his.
It is Mr. Danchak who was presenting a money equation as an argument for drilling. I responded to it, with obvious, factual (real) motivating factors behind Mr. Danchak's enthusiasm for this development.
I present far, far greater arguments against shale gas extraction than the economic factors, which are secondary to the destruction of health, and the inevitable environmental contamination that results.
Natural calls Perseusman (a blogger in the W.I.), Enviou$. Now, he calls me envious. What a shallow man he is, and what little he has to say.
Sometimes, it seems like you are trying to hurt TheNatural's feelings. Every blogger that does not use their Christian name is a cartoon character in your rather limited book. You have no arguments against shale drilling, Mr. Barth. You have only insult and fear. Fracturing has not contaminated a single well. The head of the EPA feels that natural gas is a very good fuel. The Susquehanna River is fine, and so are the residents of the many counties that have gas drilling. There are hundreds of thousands of people living in that area and you and your obstructionist friends search for a few malcontents that feel as you do and you push them on us. Gas drilling is not a problem. How would you suggest that we meet our energy needs if you find natural gas so onerous?
Natural misinformation
Going back and forth with the artificially, self-inflated character Natural, is a good definition of insanity, so I admit, I'm temporarily insane to respond.
In this case though, Natural refers to a Lisa Jackson recent comment at a congressional hearing, to support his gas as a good fuel theory. In the same breath, he repeats the Jim Inhofe canard, that "frac'ing" hasn't contaminated anything. People seem to agree that there is no direct evidence it has, just as people seem to agree there is no evidence it has not. There is no evidence, because there has been no study completed, let alone a scientific, peer reviewed study(and Mr. Natural is very happy that there is no study, and is fighting hard to prevent investigation and study).
There is absolute evidence of methane migration, and chemical migration, into private water wells after drilling and frac'ing, however. This contamination from the whole process can not be denied, except by the anonymous mousekateers, who suffer no consequence to their shoddy reputations. They just deny and repeat.
There are about one hundred cases of household water well contamination in Bradford County, alone. I repeat, Bradford County alone, which does not have "hundreds of thousands" of people living there. We are talking about Bradford here, not the entire Susquehanna River Basin. If Mr. Natural thinks that about 100 private, household, drinking wells contaminated by the drilling of less than 700 Marcellus wells is a ratio to mock, or dismiss, then he should do PR work for Muammar Gaddafi, and Gaddafi's partner, Hess (Oh, I forgot, Natural already does PR work for Hess).
So, let's visit Lisa Jackson's appearance before the recent House committee. She said "Burning natural gas creates less air pollution than burning other fossil fuels." No one contests this argument about the "blue flame" point of burning.
That is not the case with the whole extraction process, but enough on this.
As to frac'ing and contamination, however, here is her exchange with Rep. Gerald Connolly:
"Is there any evidence that hydraulic fraction... can affect aquifers and water supplies?" Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-Va, asked.
"There's evidence that it can certainly affect them," Jackson conceded. But as far as evidence it ever has, she said "I am not aware of any proven case where the fracking process itself has affected water, although there are investigations ongoing."
In that case, she is referring ONLY to the fracturing moment, and what she says should be plenty clear to everyone, if not Mr. Natural. It will not stop him from beating this poor, dead horse, however. If he didn't have the dead horse, what would he say. Oh, yes, "envious".
The link to the Lisa Jackson quotes is:
Amusing that
this cartoon character had to correct the voodoo math of the self proclaimed genius that is Jim Barth. Us clowns get lucky once in a while.
Hit the nail on the head
Congratulations on having the gumption to go see for yourself. I, like you, had my doubts but quickly sought out the professionals and did my own investigation of the facts before I jumped into a lease. These drilling people are shrewd and will try to pull a financial fast one on you from time to time but that is just that pesky American thing called a profit motive which exists in every business including mockumentary film productions by which an unscrupulous person will prey on the fears and misconceptions of a relatively new industry.
In my mind, the simple fact is that the average non government employed resident of Pennsylvania and New York need whatever economic boost they can get and this is it. The anti crowd will incessantly repeat a few key talking points (none of which they can prove). The fact is that for whatever reason they are insanely comfortable with the status quo. They don't feel economic pressure. They don't mind or don't have to pay taxes on land they can't drill. They think it is perfectly rational to dictate what others can do with their property. They are scared to death of something they don't understand and enjoy spreading this fear like some sort of air borne illness. Is this you? Do you worry about the impact of five well pads on someone else's property despite the fact if it wasn't well pads it would be condominiums? Do you ponder what is acceptable energy production while you fill up the Eddie Bauer edition SUV? Or are you the person putting off the phone bill to pay the light bill? Given up on finding a job because there are none. Cleaning toilets in a camp bunk for $5 bucks an hour wondering how people in Long Island can pay $8000 to get rid of their brats for 8 weeks? These same brats grow up with a nastalgia for the area, buy a second home and demand a moratorium on drilling. When are we as a nation going to pull our heads out of our collective backsides and start producing a product again? Is this the economy for unfounded sensitivities?
5 well pads on 250 acres?
Mr. Danchak wrote "I was told that a farmer who leased his 250-acre farm for natural gas drilling has five working well pads on his land...". Is Mr. Danchak confusing "pads" with "wells"? I ask this because most shale gas enthusiasts, and lobbyists, claim surface disturbance benefits by describing one pad per 640 acre, or even 1,280 acre unit. This puts one pad per 50 acres, which is disturbing to say the least. At that rate, something like 10% of the land surface would be changed, given an average of 5 acres per pad.
Even if it is one pad, with five wells, on 250 acres, that translates into a lot of pads, and a huge amount of wells.

While Michigan is known for its beer and wine, Michigan spirits have remained one of our states best kept secrets. Today, Trisha Verma, co-founder of Drink Michigan, fills us in on her favorite Michigan spirits, where to find them and more.
Michigan is home to some of the highest-rated, most award winning beer and wine in the country, and we get a good amount of recognition for it. But what many people don't know is that we also produce some pretty amazing spirits. From vodka and gin to whiskey and brandy, Michigan's growing distilled spirits scene is one of our best kept secrets.
You can find Michigan spirits on the shelves of many grocery and liquor stores. If you don't see them, don't be afraid to ask for them. Most stores are happy to order what you're looking for. Remember – every dollar you spend on locally-produced spirits vs. those made outside the state is another dollar that helps boost the Michigan economy.
Not sure what to ask for? Here are a few of my favorite, more unique, Michigan spirits:
Hopquila – New Holland Artisan Spirts
The name doesn't lie – this spirit really does taste like tequila with hops. It's smooth and delicious. Mix it up at your next summer party by substituting Hopquila for tequila in your favorite margarita recipe!
Pear and Its Spirit – Black Star Farms
During the colder months, many of Michigan's wineries turn to spirits production. One of my absolute favorites is this pear-flavored brandy. This dry, rich brandy is not only great to sip on, but it's fun to cook with. Try soaking fruit in it for dessert, or mixing it into a fresh fruit salsa. Aren't you dying to know how they got that pear in the bottle?
Zeppelin Bend Whiskey – New Holland Artisan Spirits
Straightforward, and rich, this whiskey will impress even the most discerning of palates. It warms you from the inside out when sipped straight, or mixed to create a great cocktail.
Civilized Vodka – Civilized Spirits
This smooth, cool vodka is brought you by the same brilliant team that makes Jolly Pumpkin and North Peak beer, and Bonafide wine. Sip it cold and straight, or mix it up in your favorite cocktail. Flavored vodka more your thing? Check out their Sakura – a delicious cherry version of the same vodka!
Knickerbocker Gin – New Holland Artisan Spirits
Not only is this one fun to say, it's great to drink. Mix it up in a martini, or combine it with Michigan cherry juice, fresh squeezed lime juice, and a little seltzer for a refreshing summer cocktail
Barrel-Aged Michigan Whiskey – Grand Traverse Distillery
This one makes a great gift for the whiskey-lover in your life. Custom-age your Michigan whiskey in your very own barrel! These reusable white-oak barrels are already charred on the inside, and come in 2, 3, and 5-liter sizes. You can choose the type of whiskey you like best (corn, rye, wheat, malted barley, or peated malted barley), and age it to your liking!
These are just a few of the great spirits that Michigan has to offer. Hard Luck Candy Vodka, Two Birds Artisan Spirits, Artesian Distillers – they are all great, very unique, and produced locally.
Looking for some cocktail recipes using these Michigan spirits? Check out the entries from our 2011 Cocktail Contest – there are some great ideas here!
You can sample many of these spirits, along with the best Michigan beer and wine, at our big summer bash on July 13. Sip of Michigan will be at The Rattlesnake Club in Detroit. We'll have great food, live entertainment, and you'll be able to taste from over 25 Michigan wineries, distilleries, and breweries. It's a great evening on the Detroit Riverfront, and all proceeds go to a great cause. We hope you can join us!
Trisha Verma is a proud and passionate Michigander, and the co-founder of Drink Michigan, an online community dedicated to promoting Michigan-made beer, wine, and spirits. Drink Michigan's goal is to help support the local economy by educating and encouraging people to buy these locally-made products. They travel around the state to taste new and interesting offerings, hold events, and are always on the lookout for new, fun ways to incorporate Michigan wine, beer, and spirits into food and cocktail recipes.

Minnesota's budget is out of whack again.
That means the reconfigured Legislature that returns to action Tuesday will spend months searching for a solution to another deficit.
Lawmakers are also prepared to debate proposals to legalize gay marriage, to move ahead with state rollout of the federal health law, to tighten nurse-patient ratios in hospitals and to borrow for civic center construction projects.
The projected $1.1 billion shortfall is a lot smaller than in past years. But those larger deficits were usually solved with some clever accounting, and Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton says he'll insist that legislators deal with the problem head-on this time.
The deadline to adjourn is May 20.

Want some fries to go with that fried fish? The Phillies continue their home stand with the Marlins.
The now first place Phillies (32-24) continue their three games series with the second place Marlins (30-23) with two more games at Citizens Bank Park. The first of the two weekend games will be played tonight, starting at 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phillies will be sending to the mound their young ace, Cole Hamels (5-3, 3.18), who is coming off a bad outing against the Astros on May 25, where he would last only four innings, giving up six earned runs on seven hits, while not be able to record a strikeout, as he received a no-decision in the Phillies' 15-6 thrasing of Houston. He has won three of his last six starts, while receiving three no decisions, all won by the Phils, in which he would go forty and a third innings, giving up only sixteen earned runs, including a spell where he would go nineteen and two-thirds innings without giving up a run, on thirty-three scattered hits. Lifetime against the Marlins, he is 2-2 in four starts with an ERA of 4.13. He will be looking for his first victory in three starts, while trying to help increase the Phillies' first place lead and increase the Phils' winning streak to six games in a row. He will be opposed by Ricky Nolasco (4-3, 4.70), who is coming off of a victory against his major nemesis, the Mets, on May 26, where he would pitch five innings, giving up only three earned runs on nine hits, in the Marlins' 7-3 win. He is presently riding a two games winning streak, which he hopes to extend to three while trying to slow down the Phillies' offense juggernaut and put the Marlins back into first place.
The final game of the three games home stand will be played at Citizens Bank Park tomorrow afternoon, at 1:35 pm Eastern time. The Phils' starter will be Jamie Moyer (5-3, 4.45), who is coming off an excellent outing against the Rockies on May 26, where he would go seven innings, giving up only four earned runs on six hits while striking out seven, in the Phillies' 20-5 rout. He has won four of his last five starts, getting a lot of run support from the offense in his wins. He hopes to win his fourth start in a row while keeping the Marlins on the ropes. The Marlins will counter with Andrew Miller (4-4, 5.53), who is coming off a recent lost to the Mets on May 27, where he pitched only four and two-thirds innings, giving up four earned runs on seven hits, in the Marlins' 5-3 lost. He hopes to improve his record while trying to see if he can quiet down the Phillies' offensive machine.
The Phillies' offense has been very potent during their last nine games, and hope to continue during the rest of the weekend series as they expect to receive good pitching performances from both Hamels and Moyer to help derail the Marlins so that they can increase their present lead over the Marlins by trying to end the weekend with a sweep, giving themselves a seven games winning streak, and putting themselves ten games over .500 for the season.
The first place Phils lead the Marlins by half a game, while they lead the third place Braves by two and a half game, although the Braves are presently leading the Reds in their game, and lead the fourth place Mets by four and a half games, although they are presently losing their game with the Dodgers. The Phils hope to end the weekend with at least a half game lead over the fish while increasing their leads over both the Braves and the Mets.
After the Marlins leave town, the Phils will complete their ten games home stand with a four games series against the Cincinnati Reds.
Edit: The Mets have come from behind to defeat the Dodgers, 3-2. So they are at the moment trailing the Phillies by four games.
Edit 2: The Reds have just defeated the Braves in 10 innings, 8-7. The Braves are now trailing the Phils by three games.
Edit 3: The Phils are presently leading the Marlins, 1-0, in the middle of the 3rd inning.
6 Comments
What an awesome game last night. After the rocky first inning the Phillies just simply outplayed the Marlins. With Hamels and Moyer going I think the Phillies may be able to sweep. You know you you always have a good shot with Hamels and Moyer does well against young teams because he makes them anxious and they swing at bad pitches. I am just hoping the Reds can beat the Braves and the Dodgers hold their lead over the Mets.
Yes, the game was awesome. Don't you just love it when the bats come out to play?🙂 I'm hoping for a sweep as well, if everything holds up, especially if Moyer is able to take advantage of the Marlins' young bats. Well, the Reds have just retied the game in Cincinnati, while the Dodgers are holding on in the bottom of the eight in New York.
Great, the Mets have just tied it up with a two-run homer.
And Atlanta has just retaken the lead.
Well we just have to win to keep pace!!!
That's a positive, good buddy.

Big Second Half Lifts C.W. Post
from press release
BROOKVILLE, N.Y. – Senior midfielder Mike Messina (Sayville, N.Y.) scored a game-high three goals to lead No. 1 C.W. Post over Saint Anselm College in a non-conference men's lacrosse contest Wednesday afternoon on Hickox Field.
The win improves C.W. Post to 8-0 while Saint Anselm falls to 0-3.
The Hawks took a 1-0 lead just under four minutes into the first quarter when Andrew Messner scored unassisted. The Pioneers matched the score less than a minute later when senior attacker Jimmy Johnston (Farmingville, N.Y.) found the back of the net.
St. A's once again went ahead at 8:59 on a goal from Ryan Henry on a short pass from Mike McCarthy. The Pioneers added one more goal in the first from junior attacker Eddie Plompen (West Islip, N.Y.) on an assist from junior midfielder Keith Rodriguez (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) to end the quarter at 2-2.
From there, the Pioneers rattled off eight unanswered goals. Five came in the second quarter that included three from Messina as well as a goal each from junior midfielder Jason Cranmer (Hicksville, N.Y.) and junior attacker Owen Campbell (Massapequa, N.Y.).
Junior attacker Justin Patterson (Corning, N.Y.) scored his fourth goal of the season on a man-up situation nine seconds into the third quarter. Rodriguez added a goal with 4:26 to play on a feed from senior midfielder Brad DeSouza (Trumbull, Conn.).
Plompen tallied the final goal of the game in the fourth on a long pass from senior attacker Nick Coric (Walnut Creek, N.Y.).
C.W. Post outshot Saint Anselm, 40-14, and held a 34-25 advantage in ground balls. The Pioneers were 11-for-15 on face-offs as senior Ronnie Irving (Glen Head, N.Y.) was 8-for-11 in the circle.
Plompen finished the game with two goals and an assist while Rodriguez added a goal with two assists. Senior Mike Giordano (Farmingdale, N.Y.) made eight stops in goal.
Saint Anselm goalkeeper Dan Flynn made 17 saves in the game.
C.W. Post will host Saint Michael's College on Saturday at 12 p.m.

Pre-work for upcoming Solaris 11 Hands on Workshops

Enable VT-xIf you will be using VirtualBox to run your workshop lab guest, the hardware virtualization feature for your CPU must be enabled. For AMD systems, AMD-V is on by default and there may not be a setting to turn it off. For Intel systems, this is controlled by a BIOS setting, and almost always defaults to disabled. The BIOS setting varies from vendor to vendor, but is generally found in the System or CPU settings. If you don't see it there, try looking in security. If you still can't find it, search for your brand of laptop and "enable vt" using your favorite search engine.
On newer Intel systems, you may be given choices for CPU virtualization (VT-x) and data/IO (VT-d). You only need to enable VT-x. Some laptops will require a complete power cycle after changing this setting, including removing the battery.
If you have a company laptop that does not allow you to change the BIOS settings, you might ask your employer if they can provide you one for the day that is not locked down.
Note: Enabling hardware virtualization is a requirement to complete the workshop.
Download and Install VirtualBoxSince this will be primarily a hands on lab, you are encouraged to bring a laptop. The labs will all be run in a Solaris guest machine, so your laptop will also need a virtualization application, such as VMware or VirtualBox. We recommend VirtualBox and will be supplying the lab materials as a VirtualBox guest appliance. You can download VirtualBox for free at VirtualBox.org. Binaries are available for Windows, MacOS, Solaris and most Linux distributions.
After installing VirtualBox, you should also install the VirtualBox Extensions Pack. These are not required for the lab, but should you continue to use the guest machine after the workshop, you might find some of the features very useful.
Don't Forget Your Power AdaptersSince you will be running Solaris as a guest operating system, your host power management features might not very effective and you may find yourself with a drained battery before the morning is over. Please remember to bring your power adapter and cables. An external mouse, while not required, is generally a welcome device, as you cut and paste text between windows.
That should be about it. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. I am looking forward to seeing you at one of these, or a future Solaris event.

Blurb BookSmart software on OpenSolaris
By psum on Oct 12, 2009
I would like to create my first photo book. After short investigation I decided to give a chance to Blurb. But wait, their BookSmart software is just for Macintosh and Windows. Short Internet search revels that it's actually Java application and that some Linux guys were successful to run it. So, why I should not run it on OpenSolaris?
Following is the procedure to install and run Blurb BookSmart software on OpenSolaris and other similar systems with Java (tested with BookSmart version 2.5.0). It is based on Ubuntu documentation.
1. Download BookSmart version for Macintosh from Blurb web pages.
(After download I had it in following location ~/Downloads/BookSmart_2.5.0.dmg)
2. As OpenSolaris cannot handle DMG images, we need to install just another Java application which can do it - HFSExplorer.
mkdir ~/hfsexplorer
cd ~/hfsexplorer
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/catacombae/files/HFSExplorer/0.21/hfsexplorer-0_21-bin.zip/download
unzip hfsexplorer-0_21-bin.zip
3. Now we will extract software into ~/BookSmart directory.
mkdir ~/BookSmart
./unhfs.sh -o ~/BookSmart -fsroot BookSmart.app/Contents/Resources/Java ~/Downloads/BookSmart_2.5.0.dmg
4. There is also need for script which will start the application.
cat > ~/BookSmart/run.sh << EOF
cd ~/BookSmart
# Build classpath with all jars in the lib directory
for jar in lib/\*.jar
java -Xincgc -ea -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -classpath \\$classpath com.blurb.booksmart.application.BookSmart
exit \\$?
chmod a+x ~/BookSmart/run.sh
5. From now and on Blurb BookSmart application can be started using new run script.

>General Running>Weirdest thing you've ever seen on the ground during a run..?
one time i saw a weave - like fake hair - on the curb. it rained that night, and moved close to the sewer drain but didn't quite make it, so it was there for like a month after i first spotted it. it was pretty nasty, but became a game...every time it stormed, i'd run by the next day and it would be several inches closer to the sewer. its like i was rooting it on...no pun intended....
we like to call them tumbleweaves.
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?

Needs more cowbell!
Today I ran past a flying monkey that was standing on the ground. It was disguised as a turkey but I was not fooled.
• Do some dus...and some CX...and some tandem gravel...and some podiums...
• PRs
• 130#s (or less)
• Stop letting my core go to hell
Shit...I just saw at least a dozen of those on the neighbor's lawn...I had no idea! Such devious bastards:
I think I'm gonna go lock the door, now....
Next time I see wild turkeys on our lawn I'm going to yell at them "look, I know you're just flying monkeys in disguise--the jig is up!" I'm sure the neighbors won't question my sanity.
Tumbleweaves - I love it.
I ran past an empty bottle of Patron while running tonight.

Don't Ask1 of 11
By Woman's Day
Couples are often buffeted by pressure from friends and family: to get married, have a child, buy a home and so on. "People like to think that what they are doing is right, and if you do it too, that validates their choices," says Mark Sharp, Ph.D., clinical psychologist at Aiki Relationship Institute in Illinois. Here's how to navigate pressure points without offending anyone.
"When are you getting engaged?"2 of 11
Couples in long-term relationships or those, ahem, of a certain age, may get pressure to seal the deal — particularly from family. Whether you've chosen not to marry for now or you're still working that out with your significant other, it's a question that can make you sigh over and over.
How to Deal3 of 11
You can try fobbing it off with a dose of humor, says Hannah Seligson, author of A Little Bit Married. But when the pressure's coming from those closest to you — like your parents — be gentler and more honest. However, that doesn't mean you have to give them the answer they want. Say, "I know you want me to be happy, but this is something Joe and I have to work out together, and it would be really helpful if you didn't ask so often."
"When will you have kids?"4 of 11
In our current culture of oversharing and overasking, there are areas of our private lives that just don't feel very private anymore. It feels incredibly intrusive, especially if you've made a private decision to remain childless or if you are trying but have been unsuccessful conceiving.
How to Deal5 of 11
Babies are something your family has an emotional stake in. Julie Hanks, LCSW, clinical director of Wasatch Family Therapy in Salt Lake City, suggests saying to your mother, "I know you're dying to be a grandmother, but that's not the only reason to have a baby. Can you agree to stop asking, and you'll be the first person I tell?"
ON WOMAN'S DAY: When To Discuss Your Love Life
"Now that you're pregnant, are you still going to work?"6 of 11
This is a loaded and often contentious cultural issue. "Women feel all kinds of pressure from people around them, who make assumptions either way," says Hanks, and if you don't agree with those assumptions, you end up feeling judged.
How to Deal7 of 11
Be sure you know what you are going to do — a decision you can only make with your partner (and your checkbook!). Once you have a plan in place (with the caveat that you can always change it as circumstances change), you are better equipped to handle pressure. Often pressure comes from other women who've made their own decisions and may want you to do what they have done.
"When will you buy a home?"8 of 11
This one usually comes from parents and in-laws, and it can feel pushy because it gets at two things you may prefer to keep private: how much money you two have and where you prefer to live.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Deal With Your Mom-In-Law
How to Deal9 of 11
Try turning the question around, especially if it comes from parents. Hanks suggests that you "reflect back what you think you hear the person saying, like, 'Mom, it sounds like you're really excited about us possibly getting a house because you want us to have a nice life.'" Hanks adds that "asking questions helps you see where your parents are coming from."
"Where will you spend the holidays?"10 of 11
This is already a huge source of conflict between many couples; adding pressure from families on top of that can turn any fun holiday into a miserable grind.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Fix Any Fight
How to Deal11 of 11
This is, ideally, something you should hash out between the two of you before your wedding day because "once you're married, that's your main family," says Hanks. Your aim is to try to please that person/family first, then take your families-of-origin into consideration. If your parents or in-laws push back against your plans, Hanks suggests acknowledging the emotional message underneath the pressure.

Gosh, I was just wondering what happened to GTed and co. They were very popular here once, but I suppose if all the posts are as unfriendly as the last 2, it's no wonder they left.
BTW, thanks for the warm welcome to a new member. I had plenty of ideas to contribute on all threads, not just the Teds' but I'm not sure if my knowledge/opinions will be welcome.
What a shame as if I recall correctly this site used to be so cool. I was a signed up member years ago but I have forgotten my details. Sadly,the standard and attitidus seem to have gone down.
As for the ted threads being dead for months - well they're alive and kicking now for sure.

Hi Nancymac,
GallantTed, last post: 03/04/10. I really liked his quirky and crazy Ted tales. Your entrée is not much in the spirit of GT. People come and people go. Often they give no reason. I'm here since 2006 and never saw your name. Just send a PM to GallantTed and ask him yourself what happened.

And welcome back. Don't take the first couple of comments as absolutely representative...
Did you go by a different nom back then?

Thanks for both the info and welcome, Wofahulicodoc. Yes, I was here under a different name in the early "noughties" but can't recall my nom and have no idea of the password - they were given to you back then if I remember. Have lurked a bit since and enjoyed Ted and all the fun posts from other posters.
I've done a bit of research since last night and Ted may not be in or have anything to do with the up and coming movie "Ted" - but when I heard about it I just thought of the Teds.
Sorry if I got it wrong and especially sorry to the posters whom I may have upset with my brash assumptions. I am truly humbled by my cluelessness.

Ha! Ha! An oldie but and goody. Thanks GTed!
BTW, happy birthday to all the Teddy Bears everywhere who were delivered on this night.
FROM Christmas 2001:
Howye Fokes! How is things? Haven't been around fer a while. Ya see, I gots a job writen articals on drains and gargoyles and that sorta thing. Imagine me worken fer the Gutter Press - me Mammy is really proud.
Listen, on a more seroius note, did ye know that Santy is short of teddies this year? Well, ye do now!
After a tip off from Goldilocks didn't he orgenise a big huge raid on Slasher's - me local bar - ta round up all the Teds. I'll tell ya, the fight what enscewed was only terrable and ya can take it from Ted that that Rudolf fella won't be the only raindeer with a red nose this Christmas.
Anyways, lookily most of us managed ta escape but me pal MadDogTed is still missen. So I thought with it been Christmas and all that I better give ye all a fear warnen.
If MadDogTed ends up in yer Christmas stocken send him straight back ta Slashers Bar - IMMEDIATELY. He's a rear genwine Trouble and Streiff bear and he's not very domistikated, ya see. Don't try ta hug him. Don't put a silly bow on him. Don't call him MadDogTed ta his face and whatever ya do - DON'T take him ta bed with ya. Not if ya have any shame, that is.
Don't be fooled by his cute looks either (he's not half as cute as Ted, of course). Them close-set eyes are a ded give away but if yer still in doubt check his left ear fer a button earing in the shape of a half eaten S. If yer still not sure, look fer the "Made in Haste" label on his back. And if yer a bit thick and still haven't copped on, check that ya still have all yer fingers and that yer wallet is still where ya left it.
So ye have been warned - if ya get him from Santy send him back ta Slasher's with a few bottles of rum fer me troubles. I'll tell ye, me nerves are faught with the worry.
A Happy Christmas ta ye now.
Be seein ya

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Are entrepreneurs innovation killers?
At first glance, an unbiased, informed observer would say that statement falls largely in the "crock" category.
After all, who better to drive innovation in the workplace than a startup business owner?
But that's why academic researchers get paid to take more than a "first glance."
On the subject of entrepreneurs and innovation, that's exactly what a Vanderbilt University business professor did, and what he found might turn the tables on what economists, venture capitalists and consultants (and even the entrepreneurs themselves) think about ideas and innovation.
David Owens, a management professor at Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management, started that journey with a single question: Why do some great ideas fail and others succeed?
It's all about what Owens calls "constraints" – emotional, technological, financial or logistical obstacles that stand in the way of executing a great idea.
To illustrate his point – and to guide new business owners toward the innovation path they need to be on, Owens has come up with a list of six innovation constraints that, as he puts it, fosters innovation instead of killing it.
Acknowledging those constraints is only the first step. Recognizing there are myriad opportunities in those constraints is the real key to success.
"Constraints are the parameters within which you must work. And for a creative person that's actually a blessing," said Owens.
So where does Owens go with his theory? Here's a look at all six of his "innovation constraints." They're a bit high-minded, but worth a closer look:
The Individual
Failures of innovation are failures of ideas. To meet this challenge, you simply need to train people to use the tools and processes that help them "think differently," and this will enable them to become better at generating and recognizing good ideas.
The Group
Even if you have a roomful of da Vincis, the group's social climate will determine whether an innovation succeeds. The prescription that follows from this diagnosis is clear: Fix the group's climate and you will fix innovation.
The Organization
If a company or organization doesn't have a strategy for innovation, or if it doesn't have a structure that allows for the free movement of new ideas, or if it doesn't have the human, monetary or other resources to expend on developing an idea, then it's unlikely to nurture potential innovations within.
The Industry
Innovation fails when a firm competing among a group of rivals in an industry fails to produce an innovation that customers in that market are willing to adopt. When buyers do not adopt a new offering because they fail to see the utility and value of it, you may be able to call that idea "creative," but you cannot call it innovation.
The Society
An innovation cannot succeed if a society does not see its ideals and aspirations embodied in it. Consider human cloning. It is technologically possible and might arguably have certain benefits. However, societies around the world have banned the practice on the grounds that it is morally and ethically repugnant.
The Technology
For an innovation to succeed, it has to be technologically feasible. The way to avoid failure is to advance our understanding and control of matter and energy through the use of science and technology. In other words, innovation is what we already know as research and development.
Above all, Owens advises entrepreneurs to stop thinking about innovation in simply product terms. Instead, he wants business owners to let their minds – and their company's knowledge talent – to roam free.
"We often think of innovation as product innovation, but we don't often think of it as creating new processes or new services or even as changing our ways of thinking about things," said Owens.
If you want to dive in further, refer to Owens' book, Creative People Must Be Stopped: 6 Ways We Kill Innovation Without Even Trying.
If you're failing to innovate, or more likely per Owens, innovating to fail, give it a read over the holidays.
