October 2012
Now that so many people have smart phones, there's no more conversation with my band mates on our breaks. Each guy just starts texting, or surfing the net, or playing his favorite app.
It used to be that "the hang" was one of the best things about gigs, but now it doesn't exist, because there's no one to talk to. Everyone's in his own separate cyberworld, and it makes me really sad.
What am I supposed to do on my break now that the hang is gone?
Apps Leave One No Entry
Dear ALONE:
There's an app for that! With iHang, you can hang with anyone you want, anywhere, anytime! Lonely on break? Ditch the game geeks in your band and spend time with people who share your love of social interaction.
When your break ends, iHang is just beginning! Up on the bandstand, mid-tune, you can pretend to be reading chord changes from the iBook, while in reality you're hanging with friendseven other guys in other bands, in the middle of other tunes! What could be better?
Once you tell your tech-savvy band mates about iHang, they'll be all over it! Soon you'll be hanging with them more than everon your break and on the bandstand; before, after and during tunes. You'll happily say farewell to those archaic analog days you've been longing for.
iHang: Better than being there!
Dear Mr. P.C.:
If I fill the pocket of my tux with Swedish meatballs at the buffet of a wedding I'm playing, does the value of the meal outweigh the cost of dry cleaning the tux? Dave T., Newark
Dear Dave:
Hmmm... your fundamental assumption seems deeply flaweddo you really have to dry clean the tux right away? After all, the pocket in question would only be brown and slimy on the inside. As long as you can keep your hands out when you're not eating, there's no reason you can't just make it the designated food storage compartment. It can be our little secret; you might even line it with saran wrap, tastefully stapled in place.
But my question to you is: Why aren't you filling both pockets? Unless you've put the second pocket to some specific uselike maybe storing the wads of bills you receive on cash gigsI can't understand why you aren't doubling your stash.
Of course, if you're wearing a white tux, it changes the calculus considerably. Meatballs will be strictly off-limits; instead you'll want to pocket white, phlegmy or opaque foods like mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, and vanilla ice cream.
Dear Mr. P.C.:
I was playing an actual jazz gig recently at a well-regarded venue and, in the middle of our set, someone came up to the stage, handed me a hundred dollar bill, and asked me to play "Happy Birthday." I showed the leader the bill and we went ahead and played it but, in retrospect, I'm wondering if he really wanted a solo bass version.
Was I wrong to ask on the rest of the group to join me in such a demeaning, yet profitable, course of action?
Ed, New York
Dear Ed:
I admire your ability to put such a positive spin on it. Because apparently the guy felt it was worth $100 to get you to stop whatever you were playing at the time. And I'm not talking about the full bandif that's what he wanted he would have given the money to your leader. I'm talking about you, Ed.
But it gets worse. Consider this: If it really had been his birthday, wouldn't he have asked for "Happy Birthday" as a gift, instead of spending his own money?
It wasn't his birthday, Ed. It was a hundred dollars worth of sheer desperation, fueled in equal parts by your tasteless note choices, heinous intonation, and spasmodic time.
Have a question for Mr. P.C.? Ask him.

National Restaurant Association Insights
When Bob Omainsky attended his nephew's Naval Academy graduation in May, he dined on Chesapeake Bay seafood while in Annapolis, Md. But he didn't expect to serve Chesapeake Bay seafood months later in his Alabama restaurants. "Nobody dreamed we would be talking about the BP oil spill 100 days after it happened," said Omainsky, president of the Mobile chapter of the Alabama Restaurant Association. Omainsky, president and chief operating officer of Wintzell's ...

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - August 17, 1879
Diary Entry:
It has rained all day and been a most cheerless melancholy day to me. I have missed dear Gertrude so much, that the thought that I shall never see her again is almost insupportable. Seeing her mother about brings her vividly before me and I think she must feel her absence here very keenly. I can hardly bring myself to speak of her to her mother and father. I cannot control my emotions. Mr. Sawyer looks much older to me and I think dear Gertrudes death has been a great blow to him. I have written to Lily French today answering her letter received yesterday.

Standard & Poor's said it expects to be the target of a U.S. Department of Justice civil lawsuit over its mortgage bond ratings, the first federal enforcement action against a credit rating agency over alleged illegal behavior tied to the recent financial crisis.
Shares of McGraw-Hill Cos, the parent of S&P, plunged 13.8 percent on Monday after news of the expected lawsuit surfaced, their biggest one-day percentage decline since the 1987 stock market crash, according to Reuters data.An announcement of a lawsuit is expected on Tuesday, a person familiar with the matter said.
The news also caused shares of Moody's Corp, whose Moody's Investors Service unit is S&P's main rival, to slide 10.7 percent.It is unclear why regulators may be now focusing on S&P rather than Moody's or Fimalac SA's Fitch Ratings.
"This lawsuit is significant because it could augur future government action or, even worse for the agencies, more litigation by investors," said Jeffrey Manns, a law professor at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.A civil case involves a lower burden of proof than a criminal case would, and could make it easier for investigators to uncover potential "smoking guns" through subpoenas, he added.NO MERIT TO LAWSUIT, S&P SAYSS&P said the expected Justice Department lawsuit focuses on its ratings in 2007 of various U.S. collateralized debt obligations.The agency had previously disclosed a probe by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission into its ratings for a $1.6 billion CDO known as Delphinus CDO 2007-1. It was not immediately clear whether that CDO is a focus of the case."A DOJ lawsuit would be entirely without factual or legal merit," S&P said in a statement. "The DOJ would be wrong in contending that S&P ratings were motivated by commercial considerations and not issued in good faith."In a variety of lawsuits brought by investors, S&P has maintained that its ratings constitute opinions protected by the free speech clause of the U.S. Constitution.A Justice Department spokeswoman, Adora Andy, declined to comment. Moody's spokesman Michael Adler and Fitch spokesman Daniel Noonan also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.Several state attorneys general led by Connecticut's George Jepsen are expected to join the case, said the person familiar with the matter, who was not authorized to speak publicly.A spokeswoman for Jepsen declined to comment. The Wall Street Journal first reported the pending charges.In Monday trading on the New York Stock Exchange, McGraw-Hill shares closed down $8.04 at $50.30, and Moody's shares dropped $5.90 to $49.45.

WHO DOES WHAT - denny8569 - 02-13-2010 10:17 AM
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, 'You should do it because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.
The husband said, 'You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.'
Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.'
Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.'
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says . 'HEBREWS'
RE: WHO DOES WHAT - jacks2028 - 06-03-2010 07:46 PM
Hey nice one. I just enjoy it. But as per my thinking husband should help to his wife and stay with each other with lovely relationship. It increase a love between them.
RE: WHO DOES WHAT - babymathew - 07-09-2010 02:24 PM
I enjoyed it while reading, his wife has an amazing sense of humor. But to prepare a coffee is not a big job i think so and he can do it easily.By sharing the work with each other both can live happily.

Deep within a forest a little turtle began to climb a tree. After hours of effort he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the ground. After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground. The turtle tried again and again while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts. Finally, the female bird turned to her mate. "Dear," she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."

Island Conservation prevents extinctions by working where the concentration of both biodiversity and species extinction is greatest: islands. By removing one of the greatest threats—invasive alien vertebrates—native island species and ecosystems often can recover with little or no additional intervention. Removing the dominant threat to biodiversity, in the places where the greatest lasting results can be obtained, ensures conservation success across the globe.
This year the 2012 impossible2Possible (i2P) Youth Expedition will be to the incredible continent of Africa!!! i2P will lead 8 Youth Ambassadors on the journey of their lives as they run across some of the most beautiful regions of Botswana. The Youth Ambassadors will relay information back through live video conferencing to thousands of students in classrooms all over the world as they study water, share the experience of ultra running day after day, and learn what it takes to execute an international expedition. This year i2P had partnered with Simon Fraser University to offer an enhanced educational curriculum to classrooms that wish to learn about water issues along with the Youth Ambassadors. The Experiential Learning Program and accompanying Challenge Based learning projects have proven to be extremely successful for teachers and students alike. Enjoy! You can follow the journey along at http://impossible2possible.com

Miscellaneous review status
Evan Powell — Apr 1, 2009
The long-awaited review of the Epson 6100 was posted on Monday. This one takes the prize for the longest time we've ever spent reviewing a projector! It's a perfect projector for those who need a lot of light, and who are on a budget but still want 1080p performance.
Tomorrow afternoon we will post a review of the Stewart Studiotek 100, a perfectly neutral 1.0 gain white screen designed for professional use.more
Epson 6100 Review Coming on Monday
Evan Powell — Mar 27, 2009
Everyone has been asking, so I just wanted to say that the long awaited review of the Epson Home Cinema 6100 will be posted on Monday afternoon. Thanks very much for your patience on this one.more
Editor's Choice Awards Announced
Evan Powell — Mar 10, 2009
After spending a week with the JVC RS10 and RS20, we have decided to grant them both an Editor's Choice Award. These are great projectors, at price points of about $5,000 and $7,500 respectively. We could not decide which of the two represented the better value proposition, as the RS20 certainly delivers an incrementally better picture for the money, and the RS10 delivers an incrementally better picture than the lower priced competition. Essentially, you get what you pay for. The review will be done and posted by about the middle of the week.more
Editor's Choice candidates
Evan Powell — Mar 3, 2009
Thanks to all of you who wrote in with your thoughts about FI and 2.35 screen format. It helps a lot to know what our readers are thinking.
One point of clarification. Contrary to what some readers may have understandably inferred from my comments on this page last week, the JVC RS10 and RS20 are still candidates for an Editor's Choice Award. We just try to give only one award in a given price range, and hence the big debate between the Panny AE3000 and the Epson 6500 UB. But the JVC units are priced higher, and we may very well feel they deserve special recognition as well. We are just now opening them up and getting our first look at them. We hope to have those reviews posted next week.more
Screen Innovations and the Epson Saga Update
Evan Powell — Feb 17, 2009
Last week we completed the review of the Screen Innovations Black Diamond II, which is a screen you can use with the room lights on. It works beautifully, as long as you use it in ambient light with a bright projector, and you are sitting in its sweetspot. If you have a dark viewing space, a traditional white or light gray screen will give the best results. Though the Black Diamond is more expensive than a conventional screen, it is inappropriate to compare them price-wise. They are apples and oranges products. Think of the Black Diamond and a good projector as a cheap substitute for a 100" plasma TV, and you'll have a better perspective on the price.more
Delayed Epson Reviews
Evan Powell — Jan 19, 2009
We've been taking a close look at the Epson 6500 UB and the Epson 6100 in preparation for reviews of these two models. We delayed the reviews because of a phenomenon we identified first on the 6500 UB. The issue is that the projector tends to go out of focus over the first 30 minutes of viewing time. If it is sharply focused after initial start up, it will slowly lose its precise focus as it warms up, evidently due to heat expansion in the light engine. When we refocus it after about 30 minutes, it will then remain in focus for the duration of the viewing session.more
Troubleshooting Specific Problem
Evan Powell — Jan 15, 2009
Just a quick update ... we received a second sample of the Epson 6500 UB as well as a 6100 yesterday. At this point we are in daily communication with Epson product management, trying to troubleshoot a specific problem that needs to be understood and resolved prior to reviewing the 6500 UB. It looks like this will take some time. Once we have all the facts together, we will be able to discuss it in detail. The 6500 UB review will be delayed until we get this worked out. Meanwhile, I think we can proceed with the 6100 review and get that posted by next week.
CES Impressions
Evan Powell — Jan 12, 2009
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) just wrapped up yesterday in Las Vegas. All things considered it was a quieter show that usual. There was not a lot of pre-show buzz. And, to nobody's surprise, attendance was down noticeably from years past. However, that was all good for those of us who don't care for lines and crowds. It was easier to get around, and for that reason probably the most pleasant CES experience in memory.more
Corrected Statements and Anticipated Arrivals
Evan Powell — Dec 15, 2008
Well, last week we posted the review of the Sanyo Z3000, as well as the comparison between the Z3000 and the Panny AE3000. (By the way, I initially reported in the Z3000 review that the seven user programmable memories could not be custom labeled. They can, in fact, it was just not intuitive in the menu. I have corrected that statement in the review as of this morning.)more

12 dreamy pictures of Ireland

Connemara offers a fantastic variety of walking, including mountains over 700 metres – though remember the nearest rescue team is in Galway. A good map and guidebook for serious walkers is The Mountains of Connemara, available from local bookshops and tourist offices, with a 1:50,000 scale map derived from aerial photography and fieldwork by Tim Robinson, and an excellent guide to eighteen walks of varying length and difficulty by Joss Lynam. The Ordnance Survey has recently resurveyed the area, producing their own maps at 1:50,000.
A good introduction to the Maam Turks, with fantastic views of the Twelve Bens across Lough Inagh, would be the ascent of Cnoc na hUilleann and Binn Bhriocáin from the Inagh Valley back road north of Recess, on a three- to four-hour circuit described in The Mountains of Connemara (part of it on the Western Way). Also described are the classic Twelve Bens walk, the seven-hour Gleann Chóchan Horseshoe, starting from the Ben Lettery youth hostel and bagging six of the peaks; and the tough, high-level Maam Turks Walk, which traverses the range from north of Maam Cross to Leenane – it can be done in one very long day, but most people will want to do it in two, staying down in the Inagh Valley.
Mountains of Connemara also covers the waymarked Western Way, which runs for 50km from Oughterard to Leenane. This varied, low-level trail starts as a pleasant, sometimes boggy walk beside Lough Corrib, before crossing over from the village of Maam into the dramatic Inagh Valley, which runs between the Bens and the Turks. The walk can be done in two long days, with an overnight near Maam, or in the Inagh Valley.
Worthy short walks include the ascent of Errisbeg and other routes near Roundstone as described, the sky road from Clifden, a circuit of Inishbofin, the excellent trails at Connemara National Park and the climb up Tully Hill.

The Vikings offense has received the most attention following the week one loss in Detroit, but the defense certainly didn't inspire much confidence with their performance, either. Part of the problem was visible in the middle of the defense, with Detroit's running game producing quite nicely, and it was noticeable that defensive tackle was out of action.
According to 1500 ESPN, the defensive line rotation may get a boost this week against Chicago, who has a talented duo of running backs themselves. Williams was able to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday and Leslie Frazier said he hoped to see him back in the lineup this Sunday.
Also limited in practice were CB Josh Robinson (quad), C John Sullivan (knee), and RT Phil Loadholt (knee). The Bears are little healthier right now with CB Charles Tillman (knee) being their only player limited in Wednesday's practice.
Thank God. I think the defense missed him more than we thought. Now if we just had a mean, fat, steroid infested stud muffin to play beside him.Like(0)Dislike(0)
I miss Phat Pat…I also miss Favre, Culpepper, Cunningham, Moon, Kramer, Tark,…hell I think I even miss Jeff George and Gus Frerotte…. All those dudes were not afraid to get hit to make a damn throw…I think that is Ponders problem.
To be able to stand in there and make the throw when you know you're gonna get clocked. Maybe he doesn't have the arm, if he does then he doesn't have any confidence in it. I keep wanting him to break out…hoping.
It's frustrating because at times he shows some promise. But one thing you rarely see is him standing tall in a collapsing pocket and firing a bullet for a 14 yard gain. You tube MBT…you'll see it.

Another Way, a non-profit organization offering counseling, support, and safe shelter to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in seven counties across North Central Florida was awarded a $5,000 grant by the Plum Creek Foundation to equip a safe outdoor play area at the group's 35-bed facility in Chiefland.
William Samuel Yearty, 64, convicted of soliciting and accepting a bribe from an undercover FBI agent posing as a developer wanting to build a project in Levy County and lying to the FBI in an interview, became inmate 20575-017 on Tuesday when he reported to the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola.
The 30-year veteran of the Levy County Commission and it's chairman found himself among the facility's minimum security inmates at Sauffley Field, a U.S. Navy base.
Dogan S. Cobb, former Bronson mayor and council member and retired Levy County Tax Assessor, was honored with the naming and re-dedication of the Town Hall whose construction he supervised.
Cobb, who turns 100 years old on Nov. 29, was honored July 2 when about 200 relatives and friends turned out for the ceremony and party to celebrate renaming the Municipal Building on U.S. Highway 27A.

Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge invites you to an openhouse on Seahorse Key Saturday, July 10, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Enhance your summer by getting the family outdoors into the spectacular Cedar Keys. Bring your camera, fish a little, walk along the beach and enjoy the exhibits.
The Levy County coastline has a less than 20 percent chance of oil washing up on its shores, according to a probability model released by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration on Friday.
"Much of the west coast of Florida has a low probability (1 percent to 20 percent) for impact," states the report released by the NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration. "The Florida Keys, Miami and Fort Lauderdale areas have a greater probability (61 percent to 80 percent) due to the potential influence of the Loop Current."
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has voted to have its staff draw up a rule that would bar fox and coyote enclosures, phase out the ones in operation by January 2013, and to consider the rule at its September meeting in Westin.
The issue hits home in Levy County where fox/coyote enclosures have operated. The operations were permitted by the FWC until September 2009 when it decided not to permit new operations and to not renew the permits of operational enclosures.
The Levy County Tourist Development Council awarded $15,500 in advertising grants to area festivals last week. The grants pay for advertising campaigns that target people who live outside the county to encourage visitors and overnight stays.
Cedar Key festivals received almost half of the allocated money – $7,000. The Old Florida Celebration of the Arts was awarded $3,000, CLAMerica received $1,000, and two new events sponsored by the Cedar Key Chamber, A Cedar Key Christmas and the Cedar Key Red Fish Tournament, received $2,000 and $1,000 respectively.
Florida taxpayers who owe unpaid state taxes can save money and clear up tax liabilities by going online to learn more about Florida's 2010 tax amnesty that runs through September 30. Tax amnesty information, including a Tax Information Publication and Tax Amnesty Agreement form, are available on Revenue's website at www.myflorida.com/dor/amnesty.
Individuals can significantly reduce the interest that is due by up to 50 percent and pay no penalty.
Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test results are in, and overall Levy County schools showed improvement in almost all tested subjects.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Gina Tovine presented the district results to the School Board of Levy County during Tuesday's meeting.
In total, the school district had a 35 percentage point increase in students who scored three or above in reading, science and math in all grades tested.

Driver Dies After Pursuit by Tahlequah Police
By Associated Press • Jun 19, 2014
TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (AP) — Authorities say a man in Tahlequah was killed after crashing his car during a pursuit by police.
Tahlequah Police Chief Nate King says the chase began after the driver went through a four-way stop at about 70 miles mph early Thursday. He says a police officer witnessed the incident and attempted to pull over the car, which then sped away.
King tells Tulsa television station KOTV that the officer eventually backed off from his pursuit because of low visibility. A few minutes later, the officer discovered the car rolled over and the driver ejected from it.
An investigation into the crash is underway.

Understanding MVC in PHP (123 tags)
The most popular "proper" way to build a web application seems to be to use the Model-View-Controller design pattern. While it sounds complex, the concepts are sound and the ease of development it provides are compelling. Joe Stump shows how MVC can work in PHP by walking through working, example code.
The Practicality of OO PHP (10 tags)
PHP is an easy language for doing practical things immediately. The easiest ways to begin aren't always the best ways to stay productive, though. PHP's support for object orientation requires a little more learning and a little more discipline, but it has many benefits for larger projects. David Day explains the basics of OO in PHP 4.
Object Overloading in PHP 5 (5 tags)
PHP 5 has greatly improved object-oriented programming support. It also has new hooks to overload methods and properties. How can you do this? Why would you want to? Martin Jansen demonstrates method and property overloading with PHP 5 objects.
Form Your Own Design Pattern Study Group (5 tags)
Like most complex subjects, design patterns are best learned over a period of time, not in a few sittings. Eric Freeman and Elisabeth Freeman, coauthors of Head First Design Patterns, suggest one way to ease the learning curve (and have some fun along the way): form a study group, using their book. If you're ready to get your engineering team together, the Freemans get you started in this article with a plan to follow and chapter-by-chapter questions to help generate discussion.
Static Constructors Demystified (3 tags)
Static classes in C# are an important tool that most developers should know how to use effectively. The confusion usually surfaces when dealing with static constructors to set up a static class. Understanding some of the issues surrounding static constructors, like beforeFieldInit and static field initialization, will help you effectively use static initialization features of your static class. Satya Komatineni explains the intricate nature of static classes and their constructors.

ATLANTA A bill prohibiting Georgia's counties from mandating menu labeling has moved to the desk of Gov. Sonny Perdue after being passed Thursday by the state Senate.

The pre-emptive measure could become law as New York City, San Francisco and King County, Wash., are all ...

Notifications | News
Blackboard's mass notification system has been updated with better data integration features and automatic messaging to IP endpoints, such as voice-over-IP phones. Blackboard Connect is a multi-modal notification system that school officials can use to send messages through voice, email, text, fax, pager, Facebook, and Twitter. Since its release a year ago Blackboard Connect 5 has sent messages to 28 million people around the world, the company said in a statement.
The latest round of enhancements includes new data integration tools, such as a client-side data uploader program to streamline data integration and give users more control over the integration process; automated contact database integration between Blackboard Connect and Blackboard Engage (previously Edline); and scheduled synchronization with secure file servers for automated, routine notifications.
Blackboard is also tapping technology from Singlewire to add messaging directly to endpoints running on the Internet Protocol, such as Cisco IP phones. Eventually, that upgrade could encompass other IP endpoints, such as paging systems, digital signage, and sirens
The newest version also includes a boost to single-sign-on; enhanced geo-targeting capabilities and weather templates for automated weather alerts recorded in a human voice; and internationalization improvements, such as interface support for right-to-left alphabets such as Arabic and Hebrew.
"The rapid adoption of Blackboard Connect 5 speaks to the platform's innovative, reliable and easy-to-use technology for effective emergency notification and community outreach," said Ed Miller, president of Blackboard Connect. "We've streamlined the data integration, message creation and delivery process so that communities receive more relevant, targeted information faster than ever before. The result is communities that are more informed, engaged and secure at all times."
Blackboard Connect users include Eudora Schools in Kansas, Beaufort County Schools in North Carolina, and Franklin Special School District in Tennessee.

Hello Spring Training, Goodbye Rocky
Today, Denver mourns the death of an old friend, the Rocky Mountain News. Yesterday morning, the Rocky announced that the final issue would be printed today. 55 days short of it's 150th birthday, the news came as a shock to most of Denver. Don't get me wrong; we knew it was coming. We just didn't know it would be so soon.
The Rocky's first issue ran on April 23, 1859. Shortly after, many of the local newspapers stopped printing. The Rocky was unstoppable. Even the first attempt at the Denver Post didn't do so well. The Post took several years off before attempting to compete with the Rocky.
Denver became one of the few lucky cities with two major newspapers. This brought lower prices, more advertising space, and an overall better economy to Colorado. Not to mention more media coverage, which equals more national recognition.
But times have been tough lately. Very, very tough. The owners put the Rocky up for sale, with no such luck. Time was running out, and they couldn't afford another blow in their wallet. So yesterday morning, reporters, editors, and anyone else you can think of gathered in the newsroom. That's when the chaos began.
The writers had one day to make a wrap for the final issue of the Rocky. They wrote explanations, memories, and, possibly hardest of all, last goodbyes. One man even wrote an obituary for the paper. Another described it as "Playing music at your own funeral."
The issue hit the press at around 10 o'clock PM. On top of the thousands of issues already needed for subscribers, the Rocky printed additional thousands of papers for stores and collectors around the world. They were all sold out by noon.
Hundreds of people are now out of work. The Post is only picking up 10 of the dozens upon dozens of writers and columnists the Rocky had hired. So many great minds, now without a job.
How this affects me:
First of all, on the more business side, I am an aspiring journalist. Hearing that the newspaper business colapsing in general, and not just my paper, is adding insult to injury. Salt in the wound. As soon as I was old enough to get a job, I was planning on interning at the paper. I couldn't care less if I wasn't paid, it was going to be a chance to work at the Rocky! My dream got slashed when I heard the news. Now I have to go to plan b: the Post. Not so enjoyable, if you ask me.
Now onto the personal side:
My family has been in Colorado for well over 100 years. This means my parents, my parent's parents, my parent's parent's parents, and my parent's parent's parent's parents all have read this paper. My grandpa read it almost religiously; it's a good thing he's already passed away, because this news would have given him a heart attack. And I mean that in the most literal sense possible.
My dad has read the Rocky every day of his adult life. Everyday, he'd grab the paper, go to work, and sit during his lunch break reading the paper and discussing the news with his friends. Yesterday, I gave him my apologies, as I figured he had already heard the news. Well, he hadn't. So I had to tell him myself. You see, my dad isn't the sensitive type of guy. He doesn't cry during movies. He doesn't get upset when the Rockies lose ("There's always another year. At least we're not the Cubs." are his words) But today, as I watched him read the front cover to me, as we shared one last special moment with the Rocky, there were tears streaming down his face.
He passed the tradition of reading the paper on to me, (at a very young age) so I have many fond memories of the news. Sunday Funnies, every Sunday, no matter what. Those comics were how I learned to read. Once I could actually put sentences together, I started reading baseball articles. Hey, I was four, I didn't know half of what they were talking about, but it still
made sense to me: baseball. I had found a connection. I can still remember reading a Tracy Ringolsby article for the first time. I can't recall what it was about, just remembering that I knew he was a very, very good writer. and I liked that he wore a cowboy hat.
All through the 2007 season, the Rocky was there. The ups, the downs, and then the very highest up: the World Series. That memory is always going to be sharp in my mind. The cover, Todd Helton clenching his fist in the air, Byrnes lying on first behind him, and that one magical word: YES!
Even at Coors Field, the Rocky Mountain News could be seen everywhere. There's a kiosk right by homeplate, a sign right by the jumbotron. The Rocky even sponsors an inbetween inning entertainment: The Blooper Reel.
Yes, as the Rocky closes its doors for the final time, it closes a door to a piece of my childhood and my future. While I will always have the memories with me, it will never be quite the same.
It seems strange that something that seems so trivial, like a newspaper, can be so important to your life. Yet, once you look at all the things that you have been through with it, it's kind of obvious.
Goodbye, dear friend, you will be missed by many.
P.S. I will have an actual post, involving baseball soon! I promise!

Great tribute post. It is always hard when a piece of history passes away.
Thanks for the post. Sad for people like me who spent many years writing for major daily newspapers. Life goes on, we're digital and you can't turn back.
and more…MLB taking over Twitter
Thanks for the comment. This was my first time reading you blog, I really enjoyed it. Just seeing that picture of Helton still gives me chills. I will never forget watching him in the post game interview it almost made me cry.
You are a very good writer and I am sorry that you will not be able to reach your dream of writing for the Rocky.
As for your comment I agree with you that Tulo, Iannetta, and Smith are interchangeable although I think when all is said and done Tulo or Iannetta will step up and be that 5 hole hitter, and if they can both produce the lineup will be very deep. Thanks for reading.
You know, I am a huge fan of Drew Litton's sports comics–we haven't got anything like him here–and his posts about the Rocky closing brought me to tears. We used to have two papers here also but our Post didn't survive. I hope Drew finds a job.
When I realized how old the Rocky was, it made me so sad that an institution so deeply entrenched in generations of Coloradan culture could be brought down.
Kylie — http://kylie.mlblogs.com
Nice blog! I'll try to keep reading your entries from now on. And it's always sad when something has got to go. I know how you feel. You will do a GREAT job when you work at the Post🙂
Julia- It's very, very hard.
Mark- You better be proud of me, cause I got a twitter! lol
Mike- Once again, welcome to blogging. WARNING: It's addicting!
Kylie- Drew Litton rules. 'Nuff said. He's going over to the Post though, so no loss there.
Hyun Young- Thanks for stopping by! I sure hope I do a good job.
great post about the Rocky.
My folks weren't born in Colorado, My mom's from Chicago & my dad's from South Carolina; only me & my sis were born here but my mom's gotten the Rocky from the day My sis was born up 'till 2007, she had to cancel her subscription cuzz she couldn't afford it anymore.She still can't now even if the Rocky didn't close, she lost her job 3 months before her 30th anniversary working at Sun Micro systems (formerly: StorageTek) in March of last year.
"We've still got the Post though, right?"yeah, I'm guessing they'll be the new newspaper sponsor for the Colorado Rockies I guess?Missyhttp://rocktober-2007.mlblogs.com
I was so sad to read about the Rocky's demise. I know it's a digital age and all that. But there's something to be said for actually holding a newspaper in your hands. Call me old fashioned, but I've been hoping we could have both – a print edition of our favorite paper and their web version. Now it appears that everything will be web only. But fear not about your career, Alex. Good writers find a way to write and be read.
I'm really loving your blog too! I'll most definatly be coming back to read more! Hopefully I'll be reading about a Rockies win soon🙂
I know how you felt about the Rocky and I'll always remember it died on my birthday. I read the paper for years and it's tough knowing it's gone, but such is life.
Sorry to hear about this. As an aspiring writer myself, the collapsing newspaper industry makes me nervous as well. I hope that you can still get an internship!
Wow, that's really sad. When something has that much tradition and meaning, it's really hard to let go. Totally different, but I kind of feel that way about Trevor Hoffman. He had been with the Padres for 16 seasons, and then he was suddenly gone. I hope you guys feel better soon!
It is sad, but I believe it's the wave of the future. Look how much this community has grown in a year. I'm curious as to what will eventually replace blogging? Things come, things go such is life. Lot of history with that paper…Nice blog…D
Missy- I'm sorry that your mom lost her job. Defenitely some rough times for the economy.
Jane- I think at some point we'll get used to the idea of all digital. It's just going to take some adjusting.
Miss Phillies- Thanks for coming to my site!
Tom- I'm sorry I forgot to tell you earlier, but happy birthday! A very, very belated birthday🙂
Elizabeth- Thanks, and don't worry, you are going to be an awesome writer one day!
Kaybee- I completely understand why you would feel that way about Hoffman. He's like, an icon for the Padres.
D- Something to replace blogging? If I had to bet, I'd say vlogging is the future. After that? One can only imagine!

Gen. William T. Lord."Securing the network is about mission assurance, not information assurance," said Lord to a packed crowd at the LandWarNet closing ceremony and awards luncheon. "We operate in a dynamic tension of wanting to secure the network yet wanting it to be ubiquitous."Coining the phrase, "Wire power is fire power," Lord stressed the importance of cyber operations to the combined team stating, "Without our cyber forces, we wouldn't have the synergy of our combined arms team."This year's LandWarNet conference was the most successful and most attended conference since its beginning several years ago, said Kent Schneider, president and CEO of AFCEA International. The conference attendance grew more 20 percent compared to last year's conference making it the second largest conference AFCEA holds during the year.The LandWarNet conference is a dual-sponsored conference made possible through the joint effort of the Army Chief Information Officer/G-6 and the International Headquarters of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association. More than 8,900 people from government, industry, and commercial and military exhibitors registered for this year's conference.This year's LandWarNet theme, "Providing Global Cyber Dominance to Joint/Combined Commanders," was aimed at ensuring the cyber community is fully prepared to operate in today's cyber environment, said Lt. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sorenson, Army CIO/G6. Throughout the conference, attendees discussed a variety of associated critical topics, such as network transformation and integrating future network systems, information assurance, enabling joint expeditionary operations and strengthening cyberspace operations.This year's conference focused on the latest technologies and concepts for communications, electronics and information management providing a venue for highlighting both national, regional, and international security and commercial development of technological issues.The conference, which had more than 300 commercial and military exhibits, concluded with an awards ceremony featuring awards for "Apps for the Army" winners, the Network Enterprise Center awards, the Network Operations and Security Center awards, and 9th Signal Command (Army) Noncommissioned Officer, Soldier, and Civilian of the Year recognition.

What I like about it so far is that I can move things around if I need to do it or toss a card out completely if it doesn't fit as the book grows and develops. I also enjoyed working out from the few scenes I knew, discovering what happened and why. I'm trying to avoid that dreaded point in the middle when I sit in front of the computer and wonder what next because my ideas all desert me and my muse is unexpectedly stuck in the next zip code.
I'll try to keep posting about how I'm doing with the process and what's working and what isn't, what I'll keep and work with next time, and what I'll toss away and forget. It's all about finding what works with how I write and what helps me get the job done easier.
As for what I'm doing now, I'm writing on a short that's grown longer than I expected it to. I'm at 16k now and I expected it to only be that long in the first place, but the characters are pushing the story along and as long they're doing that, I'm happy. Still working intermittently on my Santir ancients story. The other night I had an epiphany on a story that I've been wanting to write for a while now, but I needed a plot to go with the characters. I can't get to it right now, but those details that I needed are now written down and waiting for me to have time to get to the story. I love it when things like that happen.

Why NFFTY is important for young filmmakers12/30/2013
One of the great things about teaching film production at the high school level is to see, on a daily basis, that filmmaking is an area where young people can be prodigies. As the tools have become more accessible, it's become increasingly clear that young people can produce films that are as inventive, as technically accomplished, as worthwhile, and as edifying as work by adults. Attend NFFTY, and you won't just see some of the best short films by youth; you'll see some of the best short films, period.
While Sundance and other film festivals have a program for youth, NFFTY is entirely designed with the young filmmaker in mind. Filmmaking is, by necessity, a collaborative art form, so building a network is a critical first step for every young filmmaker. NFFTY gives youth the opportunity to learn from industry professionals and each other as they meet other young filmmakers from all over the world. Including college filmmakers exposes high school students to work coming out of the great college programs, and gives them a chance to ask college film students about their experiences. I've seen the resulting networks influence and inform my students' college decisions, future projects, and career paths.
I'm not afraid to travel with my students when great educational experiences require it. We routinely travel out of state to visit college programs, tour the industry, or attend film festivals. If NFFTY was on another continent, the trip would be worth it. But it's in Seattle! We're spoiled.
About the writer:
Matt Lawrence is currently a teacher in the Video Production Program at Ballard High School, Seattle, Washington. Over the years, he has been actively connecting students from Ballard High School with NFFTY and has been supporting NFFTY in any way he can.

The small water feature in the backyard home / studio garden is a treasure trove of material for Keo in all seasons. In the Spring, before the leaves have fully flushed out, the sky and plant life add reflective color to the pond's surface and the bubbles from the waterfall dance happily along. Dan is astonished to this day that the face of a yourng girl appeared on the surface of the ephemeral bubble. He later learned that a young girl, late in the 19th century when the property was the town bakery, enjoyed coming to the garden to play. She even carved here name in the brick just outside the studio's rear door. Amelia's spirit still inahabits the garden and makes these ocaissional, albeit brief, appearances. The garden and all of its contents are a constant source of inspiration and a National Wildlife Federation Certified Backyard Habitat.

Technology & Innovation
Large Aperture Trough (LAT) 73, engineered by Gossamer and 3M, leads the concentrated solar power (CSP) industry in optical performance.
Large Aperture Trough (LAT) 73 uses 3M™ Solar Mirror Film 1100* as a reflective surface for concentrating solar power.

Optical accuracy of any CSP installation is a key component of its performance. To help evaluate the optical accuracy of the LAT 73, NREL was engaged to use their field version of the Video Scanning Hartmann Optical Tool (VSHOT). This tool was employed to measure local surface slope imperfections and expected amount of incident solar light that would strike 70 mm receiver tube. Through the use of this tool, the teams were able to investigate the quality of the shape of the installed reflectors as compared to their ideal design. The best results matched previous well-controlled lab tests at 3M. These data validate that the 3M and Gossamer design demonstrates, on average, an intercept factor of 99.3%. This figure assumes a 70 mm receiver that is perfectly aligned, surfaces with ideal specularity, SCA with no tracking errors, and a standard sun shape. This is a remarkable result since it includes errors, not only from the reflectors, but also from the frame. The RMS slope errors of less than 1.5 milliradians is equally impressive, since mirror-frame systems are often in the 5 milliradian error range.
Slope error "heat map" for a LAT 73 reflector panel as tested at 3M's St. Paul laboratory VSHOT. The RMS slope error measured less than 1.1 milliradians for this panel over its entire surface of 4.8 m2. Values of less than 2.3 milliradians are considered to be very good.

The cross-load characteristics are rather stable, but the +5V and +12V voltages are set too high, by 3-4%.
The oscillogram of high-frequency pulsations (one division of the horizontal axis means 10 microseconds) shows that the PSU barely but meets the requirements of the standard: the voltage ripple of the +5V rail is 50 millivolts, which is exactly the maximum allowable value.
Alas, when we switch into slower scanning, 2 milliseconds per division, we can see low-frequency pulsations on the +12V rail. The combined voltage ripple is thus over 150 millivolts (three divisions of the vertical axis), the allowable maximum being 120 millivolts. This oscillogram was recorded at full load. When the load is lower, the voltage ripple is lower, too.
The PSU employs Top Motor DF128025BU and Tagan S0801512HG fans (the latter one is actually manufactured by Globe Fan). The first fan is 80x80x25mm large and is classified as a high-speed model whereas the second one has a modest size of 80x80x15mm. However, there is only one fan speed curve on the PSU label, showing that the fan speed (I wonder what fan of the two it is?) varies from 1465rpm to 2690rpm, depending on current load.
The real situation is not that bright, though. Quite expectedly, the manufacturer showed the speed of the slower fan (S0801512HG) on the label and, presumably, measured it under an ambient temperature of 18°C because our graph, recorded at a room temperature of 24°C, has the same shape but is shifted upwards by 300-400rpm.
This is not the worst thing, though. The second fan (DF128025BU) indeed proved to be a high-speed one. Having started from 2200rpm, it reached 4200rpm at a load of 1000W. With this fan the diagram doesn't look at all as pretty as the one on the PSU label.
And I even wonder if the low-speed fan is needed at all here. The push-pull design works well when both fans have identical, or at least similar, parameters. Here, we've got a powerful high-performance fan coupled with a rather slow and thin one (15mm instead of 25mm, and the thinner blades create lower static pressure). Moreover, we can consider the example of the above-described SilverStone Olympia OP1000 to see that its fan, with parameters similar to the DF128025BU, could cool the PSU easily all alone. So, I've got an impression that the second, low-speed fan of the Tagan TG1100-U96 PSU is mere decoration.
The Tagan TG1100-U96 can't be called quiet, of course. It's got its name of TurboJet for a reason. Although the more powerful fan is hidden deep in the system case, not every system case is going to muffle its noise which becomes very high at high loads on the PSU.
Well, noise is not the worst thing here, I think. After all, the competing models with an 80mm fan aren't quiet, either. The bad thing is that the manufacturer attempts to mislead the customer by not mentioning the PSU's having a second fan, which is powerful and noisy.
The efficiency of this PSU is quite typical for a 1000W model, a little less than 85% at the maximum. However, it degenerates quickly at loads below 200W, down to 50% at a load of 50W.
I can't say I'm pleased with the Tagan TurboJet TG1100-U96. And my gripes are not actually about the PSU's technical characteristics, but about how they are interpreted by the manufacturer. First, the pretty useless and cumbersome screening of the cables is advertised as a means to reduce noise and pulsations (but the PSU couldn't fit into the requirements of the standard in terms of output pulsations; moreover, it is the single model among those included into this roundup that has a noticeable low-frequency voltage ripple on its output). Second, the PSU label shows a fan speed graph that is very misleading. It shows the speed of the slower of the two fans installed in the PSU. And talking about its parameters, the TG1100-U96 is at best equal to its opponents but is never better than them.

RUSH: It's David in Raleigh, North Carolina. I'm glad you waited, sir. Great to have you here. Hello.
CALLER: (garbled cell call) It's a pleasure, sir.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: You know, with this video, I was very scared that the words coming out of (garbled) with this filmmaker is now imprisoned. If the administration really believes the video caused this, are we now encouraging the terrorists to perform more violence? If they want to quell free speech, they're getting exactly what they want.
RUSH: It would seem to me that we are. If we're blaming the... Well, we're giving them an excuse. We're simply giving them an out. We're legitimizing their action. We're saying they have a reason to be angry. Is that your point?
CALLER: That's my point, and my concern is that liberals are gonna take this... If this ever happens on our shores, we now have a reason to put more American citizens in jail for prompting this kind of action. Now liberals have the excuse to suppress even more free speech.
RUSH: Look, it is a sobering thought. But this guy, this guy is in prison without bail. The filmmaker is in prison without bail, supposedly on a parole violation on bank fraud or some such thing. But that's an excellent point. When we blame the filmmaker, we do two things. We tell the terrorists, "You know what? We understand why you're doing it. We have this rabid, stupid, right-wing American making movies you don't like. You're justified." Yeah, I know Obama's saying that no violence justifies what they did, but he's not doing anything to stop it. He's not condemning them. To anybody paying half attention, scant attention, this administration's focusing on the filmmaker.
