Skip to comments.Hostess sends layoff notices to all workers (more-than 18,000)
Posted on 05/07/2012 5:21:52 PM PDT by MamaDearest
Hostess Brands Inc. on Friday sent out letters notifying its more-than 18,000 workers that they could be laid off in the next two months.
The maker of Twinkies and Wonder Bread on Friday mailed out WARN Act notices to all of its employees, a Hostess spokeswoman confirmed to Bankruptcy Beat Monday. The federal WARN Act requires companies to give employees 60 days notice before closing a facility or ordering mass layoffs. However, sending the notices doesnt mean a company is definitely going to lay off the recipients.

Awesome, that will surely get the unemployment rate down to 7.9%
This is insane.
We are watching one of the top snack brands being slaughtered by unions.
I sure hope those 18,000 are happy with themselves when they are out of work. Some other company will buy the brand names and produce the cakes elsewhere.
Satisfied Moochelle?
Just because you send out 18,000 notices doesn't mean you're going to lay off 18,000. But they'd better understand that on the other side, 18,000 people just started looking just in case.
Don't push it.
More like 7.999999%.
As soon as 19,000 people become "discouraged"...
The cessation of Twinkees and Wonderbread versus 18,000 union jobs.
Jack Benny, "I'm thinking, I'm thinking."
Does anyone out there have a good copycat recipe for the Hostess Ding Dongs?
Hostess Brands Inc. on Friday sent out letters notifying its more-than 18,000 workers that they could be laid off in the next two months.
The maker of Twinkies and Wonder Bread on Friday mailed out WARN Act notices to all of its employees, a Hostess spokeswoman confirmed to Bankruptcy Beat Monday. The federal WARN Act requires companies to give employees 60 days notice before closing a facility or ordering mass layoffs. However, sending the notices doesnt mean a company is definitely going to lay off the recipients.
The conditional WARN notices were sent to alert employees that a sale or wind down of the company is possible in the future. There are no immediate actions being taken, spokeswoman Anita-Marie Laurie said Monday in an emailed statement. Our goal is to emerge from bankruptcy as a growing company with a strong futureone that continues to provide good jobs with competitive wages and benefits.
Hostesss future remains uncertain, largely dependent upon the outcome of negotiations with its two big unions over the fate of their labor agreements as well as upon its search for new capital. Investors are to submit second-round bids for the business this week, Hostess attorney Corinne Ball told the bankruptcy court last month.
Another question mark comes in the form of a threat by the Teamsters, Hostesss biggest union, to strike if the company wins court approval to reject their labor contracts. The Teamsters members drive the trucks that deliver the companys baked goods to store shelves. The union and Hostesss chief executive agree that a Teamsters strike would shut down the company.
The Teamsters on Friday told its local unions that it remains ready, willing and able to negotiate consensual labor changes but vowed not to let the company force a poorly defined or inequitable turnaround plan on its employees that, despite our concessions, is destined to put Hostess out of business once and for all.
A ruling on whether Hostess can reject its labor agreements with the Teamsters hasnt come down yet. However, a bankruptcy judge on Friday authorized the company to reject 35 such agreements with its second-largest union, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union. Both Hostess and BCTGM President Frank Hurt said the company wont necessarily reject the agreements now but will instead continue trying to reach a consensus.
Together, the Teamsters and BCTGM represent 14,101 of Hostesss 18,400 active workers
Isn't that just a flatter cupcake with all around frosting?
I had one of those a few minutes ago.
Ding Dongs are the product of Union labor.
But enough about our public education system.
I wonder if Solyndra did this?
It has the cream filling. The frosting is not gooey. They really taste good refrigerated. I've been known to finish off a box with accompanying milk in one day. Great stress reliever. I rationed that I received my daily dose of iron.
oops make that rationalized on last post
What's next???
No mo Ho Hos?
Death knell for Ding Dongs?
Cheeze Whiz wipe out?
Just watch, this has the potential to curb global snacking, and decrease the obesity index...
oops make that rationalized on last post
I can't believe the prices on snack cakes in stores today; like candy bars, I simply refuse to buy them at those prices (as I get older I crave them less and less, like fast food). I don't know what impact unions have on those prices, but I'm sure some of it is the underlying commmodities used as ingredients and a big part of it is the unreported inflation driving everything up.
I heard a deli owner complaining about them, as they sit on his shelves taking up space and don't move until their expiration nears and a bright orange discount sticker is placed on them. I loved this stuff when I was younger, and could buy it with my paper-route money; I couldn't imagine many 12 year-olds have the kind of money to buy them now.
Our children will definitely not have the standard of living we had, while we will never have the standard of living our parents had.
I guess there will always be Moon Pies.
Best if all this crap was off the market. Sugar is the root cause of the obesity and diabetes problem.
Eat only real food. Without a list of ingredients.
That is true.
Our parents use to give us a dollar when we went to school, even though we had free lunches. We got into the habits of buying a BOX of Little Debbie brownies (it was about 79 or 99 cents or something like that) and a bunch of cans of generic soda (they were like 10 cents a can).
We'd walk across the street and feed the empty cans into the automated canbank and take the change back to the store for more soda.
We didn't watch TV and play video games all day back then either, so we weren't too unhealthy.
Good one!
Sad to see them decline, but their products got progressively smaller and more expensive, starting several years ago.
With any luck, they can retain their patented brands, and start again, if they care to move to right to work states.
The downward "progress" may have been a bi-product of the union label!
Their headquarters was moved to Texas, but you can't deunionize just my moving to a right to work state.
Thnks for your suggestions. . . the little Debbie cupcakes may be the quick fix if the Ding Dongs go down.
Yeah, right, where are they going to find jobs, eh?
I think a lot of us are going to be getting used to generic soda again, and Little Debbies (as opposed to Hostess) and Utz chips (as opposed to Wise or Lays).
The soda itself is actually falling in price, because I think many Americans realize it is nasty (I still love it; it is liquid crack). I see a lot of 4/$5 deals in supermarkets (basically about $.85 per litre) - cheaper than some spring water. I'm sure they're taking a beating by being tossed from many schools as well.
I am kind of addicted to soda and bread.
I wouldn't be fat without those.
"Does anyone out there have a good copycat recipe for the Hostess Ding Dongs?"
I sure hope so! I have been known to eat an entire box in one sitting. My absolute favorite junk-food.
My oldest son has been with Hostess for 19 years. Maybe he can get the recipe before he gets laid off? If so, will ping you immediately.
Too late, they already do that and at a far cheaper cost!
I am sure they'll get their 99 weeks of unemployment and a bit, maybe 2 bits, from the union. They will be learning the wonders of food stamps too.
I do like the Lays with half the salt though.
My wife told me the diet soda is what gives me a gut (I'm not fat anywhere else, and am past my bad diet days). The problem is that I need the caffeine, and would fall asleep at 5:30 pm without it.
...in Mexico.
If you mean the "lightly salted" you're right; you taste the potato instead of the salt. I prefer them to any other type (unless I have a sour cream & onion craving - happens about once per 3 months). For a short time we had some kind of thicker potato chips around about a year ago; they were good, but disappeared pretty quickly - maybe they weren't selling well.
DING DONG the witch is dead.....
I don't think you could find the ingredients for a Ding Dong in a grocery store.
That is a good point, why is it all going to the gut? My gut pushes my pants down and my butt isn't big enough to keep it up! We've been deformed by corn syrup!

Osvaldo Nunez Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to say that the Bloc Quebecois also laid on this table a minority report concerning refugees without identity papers.
There are two main differences between our report and the majority report. The first one concerns the waiting period. Second, regarding two of the countries identified in the regulations, namely Afghanistan and Somalia, we think it is discriminatory. That is why we have tabled a minority report.

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table today a bill entitled "an act to establish the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park and to make a consequential amendment to another act". The result of several years of concerted efforts between the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec, this bill is aimed at improving the management and protection of the rich and diversified marine resources of that region of Canada, which is an absolute necessity after the flooding it has sustained.

(Motion deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
Income Tax Act
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-364, an act to amend amend the Income Tax Act (change RRSP deduction to a tax credit).
Mr. Speaker, the purpose of the RRSP system is to assist Canadians in building up capital to provide a reasonable retirement income. It is not intended to shelter wealth or to defer taxes on the amounts accumulated beyond the amounts required to provide for that reasonable retirement income.
Tax fairness and equity must be protected within our Income Tax Act. That includes making sure that the tax benefits do not unreasonably favour certain taxpayers over others. In the current RRSP system the RRSP deduction favours high income earners over low income earners.
Therefore to address these matters this bill proposes to convert the RRSP deduction to a non-refundable tax credit and to establish a lifetime contribution limit on RRSPs.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
Bill C-234
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Jack Ramsay Crowfoot, AB
That, no later than the conclusion of Routine Proceedings on the tenth sitting day after the adoption of this motion, Bill C-234, an act to amend the Criminal Code, shall be deemed reported back to the House without amendment.
Mr. Speaker, I want to indicate what Bill C-234 is all about. Bill C-234 eliminates section 745 of the Criminal Code. It extinguishes the right of a first degree murderer to have their parole ineligibility reviewed after serving only 15 years of a life sentence. Bill C-234 makes a life sentence mean life.
On November 21, 1996, in a ruling that my motion on the Order Paper was in order, the Speaker said: "The motion moved by the hon. member for Crowfoot in fact provides the committee with a period of time in which to consider and report the bill if it so chooses. At the same time, the motion provides the House with a mechanism to remove the bill, which is its property, from the committee so that the House itself can take up consideration of the bill".
The Speaker further stated: "The House does not know what has occurred in committee and consequently cannot know what amendments the committee has made to the bill. Therefore, if the House wishes to once again take possession of the bill, then the inclusion of the words "without amendment" establishes clearly that the House will be dealing with the text of the bill it adopted at second reading".
My motion is based on my privileges and those of my colleagues being breached.
The action of the Standing Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs not reporting Bill C-234 back to the House impedes members from performing their legislative duties. It impedes members from debating in this House, an open forum unlike the committee, an issue which is of utmost concern to our constituents.
On December 13, 1994, Bill C-234 formerly Bill C-226, was referred to the justice committee by a majority of votes in this House. The minister of defence who was then the Minister of Transport, and the member for Vancouver-Quadra, along with 72 of their colleagues and all Reform members present in the House voted to send Bill C-234 to committee. All members who voted to send Bill C-234 to committee fully expected it to be reported back to the House, providing members another opportunity to debate the bill and where the final determination upon the bill could be made and I suggest should be made.
The fate of this private member's bill, the fate of all private members' bills should not be left in the hands of just a few committee members beyond the authority of this House. The House gave life to the bill and only the House has the authority in its final determination. For a committee to kill a bill which was given life by this House and a majority of its members is a violation of our privileges as members of Parliament.
Bill C-234 was circumvented by the justice minister's Bill C-45. The committee allowed Bill C-45 to take precedence over the private member's bill. Bill C-234 was introduced almost two years before Bill C-45 yet Bill C-45, a government bill, was the bill chosen by the committee to be dealt with first. If I had not put a motion forward in committee to have Bill C-234 dealt with, this
private member's bill would still likely be in limbo today in the justice committee.
Bill C-234 was dealt with simultaneously with Bill C-45. However, Liberal members of the committee were obviously more favourable toward the minister's bill which clearly led to the demise of Bill C-234.
This was evident in that Bill C-45 was promptly returned to the House. In only 11 days, Bill C-45 was introduced, sent to committee, reviewed in committee, debated at report stage and third reading and passed. All this was done with less than two weeks before Parliament recessed for the summer.
The justice minister had almost three years to introduce bill C-45, but he chose to drag his feet. He chose to introduce Bill C-45 at the eleventh hour. The justice minister chose to gamble with the emotions of the Rosenfeldts and the other 10 families whose children were murdered by Olson. The justice minister lost that gamble.
The justice minister is directly responsible for Clifford Olson's August 12 bid for early release. He is directly accountable to the Rosenfeldts and the other 10 families whose children were ripped from their lives by the hands of Clifford Olson. The justice minister is responsible for Clifford Olson's newsmaking attempts for early release.
The justice minister claimed Bill C-45 was not about Clifford Olson. He claimed the bill was not a result of Olson's August 12, 1996 date to make application for early release. Why then was the minister and his government so intent that the bill be passed before the summer recess? Why did the Liberal government ask us and the Bloc not to unduly delay this bill?
We provided our co-operation despite the fact that we do not support Bill C-45. We did not then and we still do not support it. We gave our word that we would not block the passage of the bill because we did not want to be responsible in any way for Olson's bid for early release. Unlike the Liberal justice minister, we did not want the Rosenfeldts and the other families to have to relive a nightmare they have endured for the past 15 years.
Although Bill C-45 would still give the likes of Olson an appeal to a judge, which I find absolutely repugnant and beneath contempt, there was the possibility that he could be denied the full judge and jury hearing he now has under section 745 by virtue of the actions of this government.
Bill C-45 was stalled by the Senate and Olson once again grabbed the spotlight he so predictably seeks.
For the benefit of the members of this House who do not sit on the justice committee, I would like to read the testimony given by Sharon Rosenfeldt before that committee on June 18:
Emotional upheaval-that was what I felt on February 8, 1996, when I found out that Clifford Olson, the killer of my son, had applied for his 15-year judicial review. I do realize that the full application cannot be made until August 12, but I know that all the paperwork is ready.
I have known for the past number of years-

Mac Harb Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I listened with great interest to what the hon. member was saying, but my understanding is that his motion really deals with trying to bring Bill C-234 to the House. It does not deal with Bill C-45 which has already gone through this House nor with the testimony of a witness before the committee.
If that is the case, at least my colleague should be given the opportunity to respond and enter into this debate. My understanding is that the motion-

10:20 a.m.
The Acting Speaker (Mr. Milliken)
Order. The hon. member for Crowfoot has moved a motion that is before the House for debate. He is debating the motion and with great respect to the hon. member for Ottawa Centre, I do not think the remarks that he is making are far off the subject matter of the bill that was before the committee and which is the subject of the discussion. He is giving his reasons as to why the bill should have been reported. He may be expanding on that, but he is entitled to do so. I invite the hon. member for Crowfoot to resume his speech.
Bill C-234
Routine Proceedings
10:20 a.m.
Jack Ramsay Crowfoot, AB
Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Merry Christmas to you too.
If the hon. member would like to debate this motion, by all means let him enter into debate to express his concerns about anything I might have to say about this bill.
I will continue to quote what Mrs. Rosenfeldt said when she appeared before the committee. It is important that this House and all citizens of this country know the terror, agony and pain that victims of crime go through. She said:
I have known for the past number of years that it was his right to apply and that in all likelihood he would. Yet for some reason, although my mind knew it could be a reality, my heart, emotions and soul denied it. I was afraid to think about it, so I put my feelings on hold, something I've grown accustomed to. I know how to make certain feelings go numb. I learned how to survive like that.
You see, I have to stay strong because I made a promise to my son as his coffin was being lowered into the ground that I would do everything I could as his mom to ensure that the person responsible for killing him would be brought to justice. I promised I would never leave him until that happened. I know I have to put him to rest and that he
deserves to be put to rest, but the laws in our country prevent both of us from experiencing any peace.
When I learned that Olson had indeed made the application, I was stunned. Suddenly many images flashed through my mind. I felt shock but I shouldn't feel shock. I felt angry but I shouldn't feel angry. I felt hurt but I shouldn't be hurting. I felt betrayed and I felt panic. I couldn't breathe and I couldn't stay still. I kept pacing from room to room. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream and I wanted to run-.
I hope the justice minister is hearing this. I hope that all members of the House are hearing this eloquent description of the pain and agony this mother is going through and which this government is perpetuating by the actions it has taken. Mrs. Rosenfeldt went on to state:
Why do we have to go through this again? I felt weak and vulnerable. I cannot lose my dignity again-.I went into the family room and I took my son's picture off the cabinet. I sat down and stared lovingly at him, outlining his face with my hands. He looked so perfect. You see, I always have to reconstruct his face in my mind because a hammer was used on him. He was beaten beyond recognition. I cradled his picture next to my heart and once again made the same promises I had 15 years earlier. I got on my knees and I asked God to give me the strength to keep my dignity.
This is very important to me because after Clifford Olson took my child's life, he also took my dignity for a while. I will not let Olson and the system do that again.
The justice minister failed to stop Olson. He failed to protect Sharon Rosenfeldt, her family and the 10 other families whose children were murdered by Olson, from feeling shocked, angry, hurt, betrayed, weak and vulnerable. Instead the justice minister and the Liberal government are protecting Clifford Olson and granting him rights he ought not to have by refusing to eliminate section 745 of the Criminal Code.
Bill C-234 protects the rights of victims. It protects the Rosenfeldts and other victims from enduring the painful memory of having their young children ripped from their lives.
Bill C-234 would abolish section 745 of the Criminal Code. It would take away the rights of killers to a review of their parole ineligibility. In doing so it would restore truth in sentencing by making life mean life with no hope for parole until at least 25 years of that sentence have been served.
In closing, to the members on the other side of the House who voted against Bill C-234, who voted in favour of allowing first degree murderers the opportunity for early release, I ask: What value do they place on the lives of their brothers and sisters and the lives of their children? Do they feel their lives are worth only 15 years? Will the joy and excitement which rings in the voices of their young children be forgotten after just 15 years?
I would like the justice minister and all members of the House to pause, particularly at this time of the season when our thoughts turn to our family members, both close family members and extended family members, and to members of our communities, to our friends and neighbours, and think about their own children and then justify to Canadians why their lives and those of all their family members is worth a meagre 15 years.
Convicted murderers, rapists and others who take it upon themselves to assault or take the life of another human being throw all their rights away the minute they launch their deadly attack, all their rights, except to a fair and just hearing. For the criminal justice system to provide a killer with a so-called glimmer of hope or to restore their rights is a further injustice to the victim, the victim's family and an offence to Canadians because the killers did not offer a glimmer of hope of any kind to their victims. No, they viciously and sadistically murdered them.
Bill C-234 would restore that justice. It would make victims rights a priority. It would protect the families of murder victims. More important, Bill C-234 if adopted by the House, would place some real value on the lives of all Canadians.
I appreciate the Chair having ruled my motion to be in order and for allowing members of the House to make the final decision on Bill C-234. I would ask all members, whether or not they support the bill, to at least bring it back to the House so that it is this House which will make the final decision and not a handful of members of Parliament in the justice committee.
Bill C-234
Routine Proceedings
10:25 a.m.
Mac Harb Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member went on at length to talk about his interest in ensuring the safety of Canadians.
It was the hon. member and his party that voted against every single piece of legislation that was introduced by the Minister of Justice that deals with the question of safety of Canadians. This is the very same member who did not hear the outcry from Canadians whose families were slaughtered by criminals. Many of my constituents have been killed by guns, by violence.
When the Minister of Justice introduced legislation that would ensure the safety of my constituents, these members voted against it. They voted against the gun control legislation. They have sanctioned the use of guns that are used in some cases to commit crimes. These are members of a party that voted against everything that had to do with the safety of Canadians from coast to coast. Now they stand up enraged, saying they were entrusted with the safety of Canadians.
They talk about the testimony of people who appeared before the justice committee. Where were they when people before the justice
committee were appealing for support for the gun control legislation? Why did they not support the gun control legislation that would have helped reduce crime? Why did they not support other government initiatives that deal with the reduction of crime?
I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, that you cannot suck and blow at the same time and that is exactly what this member is trying to do.

"Art and music are so important to people's balance in life," says Marilyn Merrigan, new president of the Gallery Council. And indeed her own life is a case in point. At MAG, she's been a docent since 1988 and helped organize major fundraisers ranging from Just Jazz in the 1990s to last year's "A Night in Paris, 1913." But MAG is not Merrigan's only "home." She recently retired after 16 years as RPO manager of volunteers and special events. Read the whole story
Assisting Merrigan are the members of the 2014-15 Gallery Council Board. Pictured are: Front row: Mary Sue Jack (nominating chair/past president), Barbara O'Hare (communications chair), Pat Rahn (membership co-chair), Rose Swiskey (co-historian), Merrigan, Bonnie Seaburn (recording secretary), Peg McNamara (art tours co-chair), Carol Spagnola (hospitality co-chair). Second row: Joanna Grosodonia (membership co-chair), Lois Sumberg (administrative treasurer/finance chair), Heidi Friederich (program co-chair), Peg Rachfal (docent chair), Rody Krugh (2nd vice president/future planning chair), Nancy Curnutt (program co-chair), Alyson Grossman (hospitality co-chair).
Not pictured: Mary Clare Hamlin (1st vice president/project chair), Bev Pickering (co-treasurer, projects), Bonnie Voll (co-treasurer, projects), Nancy Heppard (corresponding secretary), Michelle Turner (art tours co-chair), Helena Spring (co-historian).
The Memorial Art Gallery begins its second century not only with a new director, but also with a new president of its Board of Managers. But where Jonathan Binstock is new to Rochester as well as to MAG, Board president Mary M. Koegel is a familiar face with more than two decades of service. Read the whole story
Every year, MAG docents (a word derived from the Latin "to teach") introduce thousands of schoolchildren and adults to the collection and exhibitions.
As a docent, Peg Rachfal knows firsthand the transformative power of art. She tells the story of a particularly prickly group of middle schoolers that she took on a tour of the collections. One child in particular did not seem engaged. So imagine Rachfal's surprise and satisfaction when later the same day the same child came back to the Gallery to show her aunt what she had seen. "There is such joy in feeling you've helped a child make a connection," she says. Read the whole story
Helping Rachfal and her fellow docents stay abreat of what's new at MAG are the members of the 2014–15 Docent Committee. Front row: Ellie Kozel (vice chair), Gail Reeves (travel), Rosemarie Burke (nominating). Second row: Carol Redden (hospitality), Peg Rachfal (chair). Third row: Sue Tkach (travel), Marguerite Quinn (treasurer). Not pictured: Natalie Ciccone (past chair), Sandy Koon (hospitality), Dorothy Petrie (secretary).
On January 1, 2014, Susan Daiss left her longtime position as director of education to accept a joint appointment between MAG and UR's School of Medicine and Dentistry. As a senior associate at the medical school, Daiss's academic responsibilities will include teaching, scholarship and administrative oversight of the visual arts courses in a new master's program in medical humanities. At the Gallery, she will administer the program, along with other community health and wellness initiatives. Among them: Meet Me at the MAG, an ongoing collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association. "This is not a goodbye, but a new chapter for both Susie and the Gallery—a perfect "win-win" on all fronts," says director Grant Holcomb. In Daiss's previous position as director of education, welcome another familiar face—Marlene Hamann-Whitmore, formerly curator of education for interpretation.
Marjorie B. Searl, who retired December 31, 2013 as the Gallery's chief curator, has been honored by the University of Rochester with one of the year's Witmer Awards for Distinguished Service. The awards, presented on April 21, recognize "outstanding and sustained contributions to the University." Last year when he announced her retirement, director Grant Holcomb called Searl "one of the Gallery's guiding lights for more than 25 years" and cited her recent role as a driving force behind Centennial Sculpture Park. Fittingly, she has also been recognized by longtime MAG friends Thomas and Marianne Kroon, who established the Marjorie B. Searl Endowment to support the acquisition and conservation of artworks in the park, as well as outdoor community programming. Curator of American art Jessica Marten has been named acting chief curator. Above: Holcomb and Searl at the awards ceremony.
The Memorial Art Gallery was happy to be a part of Shawn Dunwoody's #HappyRochester video. Watch it here – we think you'll get happy, too.

Sport Development Workshop
Many people joined us recently for our USA Volleyball open house. Some of those who entered my office are still there I think, hiding or lost somewhere between the collection of world globes and my event credentials, reading some of my hundreds of books on the shelves.
Anyone who enters, thus leaves passing by one of my most treasured possessions, a handwritten letter from my Grandfather, Ollie Lamson. My mom was an only child, so I carry that Lamson name as my middle name. It was written to me in my first season of college coaching back in 1971 at my alma mater, The Colorado College. A sample of his writing in my letter, with a style that I still want to turn into a magical font, can be seen in the picture below the content of his whole letter. He said to me….
Dear John,
Thank you so much for your letter while trout fishing. We very well understand why you like Colorado, we both grew up in the Northwest before it got crowded. Los Angeles is so full of cars and people, and some of the people are not very considerate of others, that we often wish for the wide open spaces.
With regard to your coaching many who coach in college have been very much of a factor in the adjustment of freshmen, in particular in the first months, to college and then forward; I know it was with me. The best known example is Knute Rockne.
With every possible good wish and our love as always - Grandpa Ollie
In reading over what I wrote regarding the help a coach can give to incoming college students it struck me how much more your help can mean to your work in minor or club sports. Football and baseball players from high or prep schools often have been recruited with scholarships and I should imagine in many cases have plenty of egoism. Most of your students are not well known athletes and you can do much to build up their confidence.
Build their confidence….Grandpa was a wise man, who set a record in World War I era for the highest number of consecutive rolls in a Jenny biplane, and worked his entire life for Standard Oil. He rowed in the 8 man scull for the University of Washington, thus you read how he was impacted by coaches. Thus you have a sense of why my coaching philosophy hinges around developing amazing leaders – CLICK HERE for that blog. It is also why I left the path of coaching at college, and focused on coaching the coaches, I did not want to impact just my team and some others in summer camps and a clinic or two, I want to build that confidence and knowledge and teamwork, not egoism, through every coach we reach.
You can't have confident players without their trusting you, and in no small part that comes from their knowing you are working to be the best coach you can be and improving, no different from what you ask of your athletes. One of my big questions is, so who is pushing you to be better…who is coaching you? What homework are you doing, books are you reading and perhaps most important, CHANGES are you making…including those which bond your team, build trust and confidence in your team and each player. As we have covered in Mindset, years ago, it is about doing things that reward effort, not outcome, that rewards things the players can do, not what their looks or "smartness" or things that are more genetic are about.
Remember, success builds confidence, and your feedback does too. What do you say when a player shanks, but did it using solid technical form? Does your feedforward, on the next point that is in their control, build confidence? Do you understand that coaching does not always mean correcting? Are you "catching them doing it right" or only paying attention to them when they err? Also remember, athletes don't care how much you know, until they know and trust how much you care.
Some visitors no doubt shuddered when they saw my office. More than a few asked…do you do all the dusting? Yes I do. For me, my office is a place of over 40 years of volleyball memories and ideas, and since I spend more time there annually than I do in any other room on the planet earth, I want it to be something that impacts me as I work to grow the game together with others.
It is very important in growing our game to break down the silos of information, those found within our sport and those between our sports. We need to share more, and a hard working junior college coach puts it accurately in his blog - http://jimdietz.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-free-annd-open-movement-of.html Too that end USAV has just released a new newsletter, appropriately named the "Growing the Game News." Like this blog, we just want to help you stay current on educational material that will assist you as a teacher of the game. Each two-page issue, going out about twice a month, will include new videos, articles, webinars, book suggestions, and technology tips in a quick-read format as we know your time is limited during season. CLICK HERE and start reading about new things we have found in this inaugural issue, including dozens of highlight clips from the medal round of the 2012 Olympic Games, and let us know how else we can help you in growing the game! If you did not get a copy of it yet, as it went to all USAV IMPACT and CAP certified coaches, email email@example.com and we will get you added.
Several of those who impacted me came through my office that Friday. Two of them were Tom Crawford, now CEO of USA Ultimate Frisbee, and Audrius Barzdukas, now the principal at the prestigious Harvard Westlake school in southern California. Back in 1995, Tom and Audrius spoke at a USOC coaching clinic as they were the director and assistant director of USOC Coaching at the time. They shared with those of us in attendance the poem "The Impact of Coaches." As I had been updating the USAV IMPACT manual annually since my first edition in 1988, with new research and ideas gleaned from around the world, I walked right up and asked them for permission to share that poem with our new volleyball coaches. Fast forward to 2012 and you can now see these words come to life on your computer screen in the words of USAV coaches – thanks to the creative vision of Matt Podschweit. It will open all the IMPACT courses ahead, and you will soon be able to view it at the USAV Video and Education areas -- a three minute reminder with cool video on why we coach.
I got a long email shared below while traveling back to see my daughter McKenzie and her Bowdoin Polar Bear teammates play in a tournament this weekend. Those Polar Bears went 4-0, beating the regional #1 seed and are now ranked solidly in the NCAA top 25 for Division III. The team is a wonderful bunch of athletes and staff, and Mac came in off the bench often to do her part to win. The email came from coach who is working hard to be the best teacher of the game possible, and I will share it with you readers, as I know many of you can relate…and hopefully others might have comments to share with her.
Reading Mastery by George Leonard – good quick read…interesting thoughts about "loving the plateau" and along with Mindset, The Talent Code, Talent and Secret Life of Teams and some other off-season reading. It's been some good mental stuff for me as the coach and helping me with this "process" stuff.
Early in my career I came across this USAV stuff that you teach and have since been intrigued. I've tried hard to implement as much of what I can (or what has made sense or I guess you could say what I've bought into) with whatever level I am working with over the years. It's challenging when I'm the head coach or one of the founding members of our junior club to know that this stuff works and that I can't convince other coaches that I am working with the same. So I keep trying and somehow along the way I got to thinking that I have to win to earn some credibility to convince them. And the same goes for when I teach coaching clinics to give back to the game – the coaches are interested, but I can tell they are not quite sure that they should buy in. And I, of course, take it personally as in if I had more wins to my name maybe they'd listen.
We struggle to find people to coach period, and I have found it especially difficult to get them in and then try to "tell them how to coach." I've tried giving resources – books, videos, binders of stuff I've collected, send them to clinics, share your USAV Resource CDs, articles, blog, etc. I don't think you can make someone do something and I've tried my best to show the coaches and the team that it works and why. But it seems they always go back to the record thing – Winning School X runs the mile, Winning School Y teaches setting from laying down on the floor, etc. We have had some success and I think the players I've worked with can see they are improving, but the parents and players have really been on my case the last few years about not being one of the elite teams.
We manage to finish a few games above .500, somewhere just under 20 wins a season and be competitive in playoffs. But we are stuck on this plateau . . . I am very involved in all levels of our program and just keep thinking if we can implement some of this stuff at the younger levels and get the kids playing more volleyball that is going to be the difference. And so I just keep thinking "work harder" and putting in more time and when the record comes out the same I feel like I am banging my head against the wall. It is a hard path when you sometimes feel like you are going at it alone and all anyone has is criticism about why you are not winning more. And when I read about you starting a team for Cody and the wins piling up I think "maybe there is supposed to be instant success."
I feel like this year has been different. The JV and C-team coaches who got to see you speak in person are really trying hard to use some of the stuff. We are having a lot of good conversations about why something is done a certain way. They are asking me a lot of questions.
You said something a few months back about it being about the process. And I remember hating the word about as much as I hated the word fail. But I have a lot of respect for the work you do and I remind myself that much of your time and wisdom is spent trying to convince people to think and how patient you are and that there is some new lesson for me to learn. So I have a lot more reading and thinking to do and have certainly not mastered anything (do we ever?) but have appreciated the time you've taken to help me and the questions you have allowed me to ask.
After watching so many people hear the science and ignore it anyway, I have decided that I have many levels of learning: ignorant (don't know the science), resistant (know the science but refuse to believe it), failure to act (know and understand, but still don't implement). More than anything it's been helpful to have someone outside of our program that I can talk to, question, etc . This level of action brings to mind a poem paraphrased for coaches – passion is not in your head; passion is not in your heart; passion is in your behind and legs….
Wow, that's a lot of thinking for a Friday – anyway just wanted to say that I know you're busy and thanks for sharing your time and talents.
So why not share some ideas and comments for this talented and passionate volleyball coach…as I would love to read them too…


text: Polar bears are considered by many to be marine mammals. The name Ursus maritimus means maritime bear. Their preferred habitat is the pack ice of the Arctic Ocean. The ice edge and pressure ridges where fractures and refreezing occur provide the best hunting ground. Bears will travel as much as 1,000 km north and south, as the ice melts and freezes. During summer bears may remain on islands or coastlines with landfast ice, drift on ice flows, or get stranded on land where they are forced to endure warm weather. (DeMaster and Stirling, 1981; Nowak, 1999; Stirling and McEwan, 1975)

Mark your calendars, awards show junkies and TV devotees!
The TV Academy announced Thursday that the 65th Primetime Emmys will take place on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013. The ceremony will air on CBS and take place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, Calif.
Look back at the big winners and best fashion from the 2012 Primetime Emmys
The four broadcast networks - ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC - switch off televising the ceremony every year. Traditionally, each network selects one of their late-night hosts to MC the show (Jimmy Fallon for NBC in 2010, Jimmy Kimmel for ABC in 2012) so does this mean Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson will get a crack at the gig next year? Could How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris return? Or David Letterman maybe? (Hey, it could happen!)
Sound off on who you want to host next year's show!

Windsurfing Fins (Tuttle base)
[-] less
Fins influence board and sail compatibility and performance. Matching fin design and size to your board, sail size and sailing conditions will optimize windsurfing performance. A fin generates lift as it travels through the water, while your sail does the same when harnessing the wind. Balancing these lifting forces affect control and performance of your board. Too large of a fin can cause excessive lift and drag. Too small of a fin contributes to poor planing and cavitation (spin-out). Cavitation feels like your fin is no longer attached as your board slides sideways at high speed. This page features Fins with Tuttle box type bases.

Places Discussed(Critical Guide to Settings and Places in Literature)
*St. Petersburg
*St. Petersburg. Capital of Imperial Russia. Deep within the glittering outer facade of St. Petersburg's state buildings, elegant promenades, and gilded mansions is a central core of filth, stench, poverty, despair, and depravity. The outside order is mere cover for the horror and disorder within. Dostoevski lived in St. Petersburg for twenty-eight years, moving during this period into twenty different apartments. Minute details about places where Dostoevski lived appear in Crime and Punishment to provide descriptive realism along with significant symbolism. On the micro level, the scenes of Dostoevski's novel unfold in the vicinity of the apartment he was renting at the time. On the macro level, St. Petersburg is symptomatic of the split in the Russian psyche between the cold Western rationalism and capitalistic materialism of the new Russia and the traditional Muscovite values of the old Russia. Like the city itself, the major character Raskolnikov (whose name means "split" or "schism") must struggle to discover his identity in a battle between cold rationalism, which leads him to double murder, and his Russian soul, which seeks repentance and resurrection. As a student, Dostoevski himself fell into Western-style radicalism and was sentenced to death in 1849 by the repressive regime of Czar Nicholas I. After being placed before a firing squad in St. Petersburg, Dostoevski was pardoned and his sentence commuted to eight years in Siberia. Back in St. Petersburg, Dostoevski remained aware of a continuing inner struggle. As he says in Crime and Punishment, St. Petersburg has "gloomy and queer influences on the soul of man."
*Haymarket. District filled with vendor stalls, peasant stalls, bars, hotels, and brothels that developed in St. Petersburg during the last quarter of the eighteenth century. It was filled with alleys and crammed with all sorts of people from the lower classes. It was bordered by slums (where Raskolnikov, Sonya, and the pawnbroker live), yet it was only one-half mile from St. Petersburg's fashionable Nevskii Prospect. All types of people pass through the Haymarket; it is here that an accidental encounter with the pawnbroker's half-sister (Lizaveta) convinces Raskolnikov that the time is right to murder the pawnbroker. Here, too, he bows down to kiss the ground (a sign of connectedness to mother earth and traditional values) and then goes to the police to confess that he is a murderer.
Stolyarny Lane
Stolyarny Lane. Street located near the Haymarket on which the main character, Raskolnikov, lives. The poverty-stricken former university student has a single shabby room with low ceilings, in an almost cavelike dwelling. Here, on a dilapidated couch-bed in his tiny, windowless room, Raskolnikov falls under the influence of the sinister plot to kill the pawnbroker and steal her ill-gotten gains. Although his room is a world unto itself, Raskolnikov always keeps the door unlocked, providing the opportunity for others to enter and for him to exit into the wider, ominous world of St. Petersburg.
*Sadovaya Street
*Sadovaya Street. Street not far from Raskolnikov's building on which the pawnbroker Alonya Ivanovna and her half-sister, Lizaveta Ivanovna, live in the fourth-floor apartment. Their two rooms are kept clean due to the efforts of Lizaveta, who works as a virtual slave. Raskolnikov visits three times before murdering the pawnbroker and Lizaveta, who unexpectedly walks into the apartment shortly after the pawnbroker's axe murder. A fortuitous set of circumstances allows Raskolnikov to leave the apartment unnoticed. Later, he returns to the apartment to relive the event.
Sonya's room
Sonya's room. Home of the prostitute Sonya Marmeladov, in a three-story house on the Ekaterinsky Canal. The room has many windows that let in light and overlook the canal, although the walls are yellowed, and the room is nearly barren. It is here that Raskolnikov tells Sonya about the murders, unaware that Svidrigaylov, an unscrupulous suitor of his sister, is in an adjoining room, listening to his confession through the door.
*Neva River
*Neva River. Major river of St. Petersburg which also boasts a tributary, the Little Neva. Bridges and water in general play an important symbolic role in Crime and Punishment. The Neva is the courier of rebirth but also of death. It brings discord but also calmness. Thus Raskolnikov thinks of throwing what he has stolen from the pawnbroker into the Neva but chooses instead to bury it under a stone. He throws the last of his money into the Neva as a symbol of his rejection of materialism. It is on Tuchkov Bridge, over the Little Neva, that Raskolnikov enters a mood of tranquillity and decides not to kill the pawnbroker. (The decision changes, however, when he enters Haymarket Square.) For evil characters such as Svidrigaylov, the river brings coldness and depression. After an excursion on Tuchkov Bridge, Svidrigaylov decides to kill himself.
*Siberia. Vast, desolate region of eastern Russia. After confessing his crime, Raskolnikov is sentenced to eight years imprisonment in Siberia. The faithful Sonya follows him into this frozen wasteland. Yet the prison, on the bank of a river, is the place of rebirth and salvation for Raskolnikov, where he discovers love and traditional Russian values. His apartment in St. Petersburg was more a prison than his cell in the wide-open spaces of Siberia. While here, he patiently looks forward to his future life with Sonya. Dostoevsky himself spent eight years in Siberia, four in a prison camp and four in military service, after which his life and beliefs took dramatic new shape.

We want to rely on what has come before obviously, but with delegation we can take just the methods we need and even rename them as appropriate. In many cases this is preferable to inheritance, which gives us the entire old interface, even if much of it isn't needed.
class Queue extend Forwardable def initialize @q = [ ] # prepare delegate object end # setup preferred interface, enq() and deq()... def_delegator :@q, :push, :enq def_delegator :@q, :shift, :deq # support some general Array methods that fit Queues well def_delegators :@q, :clear, :first, :push, :shift, :size end q = Queue.new q.enq 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 q.push 6 q.shift # => 1 while q.size > 0 puts q.deq end q.enq "Ruby", "Perl", "Python" puts q.first q.clear puts q.first
2 3 4 5 6 Ruby nil
SingleForwardable can be used to setup delegation at the object level as well.
printer = String.new printer.extend SingleForwardable # prepare object for delegation printer.def_delegator "STDOUT", "puts" # add delegation for STDOUT.puts() printer.puts "Howdy!"
Also, SingleForwardable can be use to Class or Module.
module Facade extend SingleForwardable def_delegator :Implementation, :service class Implementation def service... end end
If you want to use both Forwardable and SingleForwardable, you can use methods def_instance_delegator and def_single_delegator, etc.
If the object isn't a Module and Class, You can too extend Forwardable module.
printer = String.new printer.extend Forwardable # prepare object for delegation printer.def_delegator "STDOUT", "puts" # add delegation for STDOUT.puts() printer.puts "Howdy!"

Topic: Ruby Programming Help! :)
Hey everyone! I just started Ruby today (about 2 full hours now) and I've gotta say, I really love it! It's easy to follow, and quite interesting to say the least.
I ran into a little bit of a problem, and I've been searching for the answer for quite a while now but to no avail, and was wondering if I get pointed in the right direction.
I've created a little script that will eventually be blocking application's based upon their unique application id's. Also, although no functionality yet, I also intend to have a whitelist of allowed applications, even if entered to be blocked.
Here's the script so far:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
whitelist = ['1','2']
puts <<START
Enter the Application ID\'s that you want to check for.
Multiple application ID\'s must be in a ruby array format.
Ex: ['3214846573218','984919874676159','987941963464684']
Both the brackets [ and ] as well as the apostrophe\'s and commas
are essential. Do not forget them or this application will fail!
appid = gets.chomp
puts <<START
Below are the application ID\'s that you entered, ensure they\'re
correct before you continue. \n
puts appid
puts "These application id\'s will be blocked, continue? Y/N "
result = gets.chomp
if result == ['y','Y','yes','Yes'] #Here is my problem!
puts 'Blocking applications now....'
puts 'Canceled...'
So as you can see (http://d.pr/OwbF) the script executes just fine! Which is pretty cool. haha. The script even is able to 'puts' the information provided by the user (http://d.pr/SXyz). However when asking the continue question the script get's hung up! Instead of y and Y continue to 'puts' "Blocking applications now....." it reads any input as 'puts' "Canceled...." (http://d.pr/AeVo)
This obviously makes me a sad panda, and makes me think that my string 'result' is anything other than 'y,Y,yes,Yes'.
Any tips, advice, tricks?

Tucked in the lower level of The Whitney condominiums in downtown West Palm Beach is CaféToria (561-290-5108), a sunny, inviting bistro where everything—from the friendly (and fast) service to the two-person tables topped with potted plants—is small but substantial. The lunch menu features only a handful of salads and sandwiches, but you'll have trouble deciding among the savory offerings, like turkey, brie and honey mustard on a croissant or grilled chicken with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes and fresh tomato on Ciabatta.

Eagle Update: Community Education
By Carol Davis
New Ulm Public Schools
Community Education Coordinator
What is Community Education?
Community Education is an opportunity for local citizens and community schools, agencies and institutions to become active partners in addressing education and community concerns. Community Education brings community members together to identify and link community needs and resources in a manner that helps people to help themselves raise the quality of life in their communities.
Community Education began in 1969 when Governor Levander proposed to keep the schools open after regular schools hours, nights and weekends, and became know as "Lighted Schoolhouse Legislation". Minnesota started with 12 schools and today 342 Minnesota School Districts have Community Education programs.
Community Education provides quality programs to learners of all ages and abilities: infants, and preschoolers, school-aged children, adults and seniors. Programs include: general community education classes for adults, school aged child care, GED/ABE (General Education Development/ Adult Basic Education), Youth Leadership and Development, after school enrichment, and Early Childhood Family Education (parent/child classes, special events, 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, School Readiness, Early Childhood Screening, and Learning Together).
What's new in Community Education
Beginning January 1, 2014 GED tests are now all computer based. Classes are held at the Workforce Center on Mondays and Thursdays from 9-11 a.m. and 6:30-8:30 p.m. Computer Skills classes are also offered at the Workforce Center. For more information on earning your GED or the computer classes, call 507-354-6750.
We also have an intern working on her Community Education director's license. She has been working on several projects, one of which is a Community Assessment Survey. Please watch for further information on this. She has also setup a facebook page for Community Education. Please 'like' us!
We have also collaborated with Park and Recreation to have our activities for summer listed in one brochure. The brochure will be out on Sunday, April 13 with registration at Vogel Arena on Monday, April 21.
How can you get involved?
You can apply to become a member of the Community Education Advisory Council. The Advisory Council is responsible for attending the advisory council meetings, program evaluation, discussing/promoting community education activities/classes. Meetings are held four times a year.
You can become an instructor. Do you have a talent you would like to share? Come take a class!
You can become a volunteer in our schools.
If you have questions, please contact Carol in the Community Education Office at 507-359-8561 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Pueblo County sheriff secures millions for new radios
A public safety project will bring significant upgrades to radio systems used by Pueblo city and county first responders this spring.
The project, which Pueblo County Sheriff Kirk Taylor secured, involves a $5.6 million zone controller with a five-site simulcast cell and upgrades at repeater sites across Pueblo County.
The project is being entirely funded through the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program Cooperative Agreement and paid for with federal dollars, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office.
The current radio system being used is antiquated and needs replacing, according to the PCSO.
Currently, when first responders use their radios a signal goes to a zone controller in Denver through old microwave technology and shoots back to Pueblo, according to Lisa Shorter, a spokeswoman with the PCSO.
"The process is quick, it's about a millisecond, but if anything breaks down along the way our emergency communicators can't communicate with each other at all," Shorter said.
This project will bring about a new zone controller that will be housed in the Emergency Services Center as well as upgrades to towers already spread out over Pueblo.
The upgrade will enhance radio coverage for first responders and provide a backup system that allows for continued radio communication even in outage situations.
"This is a huge advancement for Pueblo County and the rural counties in our region," Taylor said. "Working with our FEMA/CSEPP partners to get the funding for this equipment has been amazing. They knew having all of our sites tied to the original zone controller out of Denver was an unacceptable risk for me."
PCSO project managers worked with the state to ensure rural counties to the east and south of Pueblo also could be attached to the Pueblo zone. The attachment will lessen the distance radio communications have to travel and therefore reduce the likelihood that transmissions will be lost before they can be broadcast.
"The main thing this project does for Pueblo County is to eliminate a weakness of the system we were previously attached to that relied on 100 miles of aging microwave infrastructure that Pueblo didn't own and didn't have any control over," Mark Mears, PCSO emergency services bureau chief, said.

The market of personal computers will face fundamental changes in the future, according to Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia Corp. ARM will become the most important microprocessor architecture of the future and smartphones based on ARM will bury x86-based systems.
"The PC of the future will be made by new OEMs, sold through new distributors and use a new instruction-set architecture. ARM will be the most important CPU architecture of the future, and it already is the fastest growing processor architecture," said Mr. Huang in an interview with EETimes web-site.
Nvidia itself sells system-on-chip products called Tegra that integrate ARM processing cores and the company's graphics controllers. Although Nvidia Tegra has not seen a lot of success, the business is growing and as the importance of powerful smartphones will grow, so will the popularity of Tegra. However, the chances that ARM will eventually leave x86 behind are pretty thin. ARM cannot compete against x86 when it comes to performance, especially in servers. Moreover, although x86 chips are made by three companies, the forces behind x86 include loads of PC makers and software designers.
Nvidia's core business are graphics cards for personal computers that are based on x86 central processing units. As a result, it is in fact in Nvidia's interests that x86 microprocessors evolve in a timely manner and boosted demand for graphics chips.

The fair is a great way to cap off the summer
There is no denying it, the Copper Country abounds with summer festivals of one kind or another.
So far this summer, we've "fested" over strawberries, a bridge, our heritage, Finns, lumberjacks, firefighters and pasties.
We've waved our flags at not fewer than a half dozen July 4 parades and yet here we are still ready for another summertime shindig.
The biggest summer event of the Copper Country starts today and it looks like the combination of a picture-perfect weather forecast and months of hard work could make this year's Houghton County Fair one of the biggest ever.
The fair's four-day run begins today and lasts through Sunday, and although it may sound like a cliche, there truly is something for everyone.
There is indeed something special about a county fair. While the high-tech hijinks of the midway rides and games may look like something out of a sci-fi movie, The basics of the fair haven't changed. The pride in showing the blue ribbon for a pie or other delicacy whose recipe was brought from "the old country" a century ago, the excitement of 4-Hers getting together for their once-a-year time in the spotlight or the anticipation of a youngster as the bidding on her market lamb slowly inches upward.
The excitement of the next few days is something that only comes around once a year, and only at a county fair.
Thousands of hours have been poured out over the past 365 days to make this the best fair ever.
In fact all of the hard work is done … all you need to do is enjoy.

KRDO's latest detailed forecast
Today: You can expect a mixture of clouds and sun this morning, with temperatures warming into the 80s and 90s by the afternoon. There will be another round of showers and thunderstorms possible through the afternoon, and while they will not be as intense or as numerous as the storms we tracked Thursday, they will still be capable of producing heavy rain. Any storm that moves over the burn scars or areas saturated by Thursday rains will have to be monitored for flash flooding concerns.
Tonight: Skies will begin clearing overnight and temperatures will cool to the 60s into the plains and 50s into the mountains. A few light showers are expected into the higher elevations overnight.
Extended: The weekend will be drier; however, stray thunderstorms and showers in the afternoons will remain possible. Weekend temperatures will reach the mid to upper 80s and lower 90s along the front range and plains. In the higher elevations, highs will range in the lower to mid 70s. Conditions look to dry out through the middle of the work week next week, with temperatures remaining near seasonal averages.

I just got back from taking a week long Disney Cruise with my family, and felt an obligation to this board to post my thoughts on the experience. Remember, your mileage may vary, this is just my opinion.
In summary, at present I have the desire to go find the cryogenically frozen body of Walt Disney and rape it with a Louisville Slugger to form a horrific Disney corpse-sicle, and then invest in science to find a way to reanimate him so that he can feel the pain and degradation I experienced last week. I feel a need to watch 3 days straight of S&M pornography just to cleanse my system of the faux Disney "happiness" which was bukaked all over me the past week.
I, of course, shall elaborate. But first, I address the obvious question: why the fuck did you go on a Disney cruise in the first place? The real answer is a failure of will, the stated answer is service to my children and family. The idea was proposed, I resisted as much as I could, facts and personal experiences from many trumped my ideologic objections, and my fate was sealed. Lesson be learned: never compromise your values.
My primary objection is the Walt Disney Company (remember Clevelanders, these are the same disciples of Satan that own ESPN, which sees it as its religious duty to destroy every ounce of pride in Cleveland). With their proficiency in brainwashing the huddled masses, I am steadfast in my conviction that the New World Order prophesies are indeed real, and that Disney is just a front company to condition people to wait in extraordinary lines, forego their individuality of thought and expression, accept overcrowding and inhumane "camps" as the norm, and lose any and all attachment you may have to your personal property. Because every Disney-branded service delivers exactly these things to you: long lines for minimal rewards, usurious prices, false idols presented for your worship, and a manufactured alternate reality that is neither healthy nor at all comparable to the reality of life. Let me tell you, the day Disney produces their first porn movie, and it will happen, will be the day Aldous Huxley's vision of a Brave New World becomes less of a story and more of a prophesy.
The Disney cruise was no exception. Of the eight days of my journey, a full three of them were waiting. There was the day they flew us to Orlando, the anus of America, to stay in the airport hotel all day for pickup the next morning. I travel a lot for work, and flying makes me miserable. Airports are miserable. And to be forced to spend time in an airport on my vacation? Fuck. That. We then waited in line for a bus ticket, waited to get on the bus, rode, and waited some more, just to get on the boat the next day. The last day was an early morning forced-march off the boat so they could welcome more sheep-like victims to their bughouse, a bus ride back where we were entertained by marketing videos selling more vacations and time shares (I wish I was joking here) and another miserable day in the Orlando airport. Any trip that requires you to spend over 20 waking hours in the Orlando airport is a failure by any standard. Couple that with insane crowds on both of the things worth a crap on the boat (pool, slide) and forced scheduling of my time on the boat, and it was very similar to being imprisoned, if the prison delivered motion discomfort.
And what of my shipmates? Well, I hate Disney people. If I see you wearing Disney-logo merchandise, I can only assume you to be weak of will and mind. Disney sells believing in the magic, which is a great substitute for being able to deal with the realities of life, and symptomatic of everything wrong with this nation today. Getting Donald Duck's fucking autograph? Really? 4,000 Joe and Sally Cornfed with a BMI average in the mid 40s, and an IQ not much higher, who have drank ALL of the Disney Kool-Aid and are licking the glass for more are not people with whom I have anything in common. What is my favorite Disney movie? Well, was True Romance a Disney flick? No? Where are you going, we were just getting to know each other... By the way, Mr. Cornfed, I'm playing with my kids and paying attention to them. Why don't you do the same with yours so the little shit doesn't bother me and my family, because my kids find your child irksome (must be in the DNA). Thanks. Oh, and note to the lady wearing the one-strap black one-piece bathing suit. You're not stylish, you look like King Kong Bundy.
And of that legendary food. Unfortunately and predictably, it is sufficiently dumbed down for the lummoxes and lummoxettes that Disney attracts. The "Asian Rim Cuisine" restaurant serving a menu that would make the Olive Garden seem like authentic Italian? Yeah, don't give Joe Cornfed any exotic spices (like "pepper") or challenge his Wonder-bread deadened palette. "That there food is weird son, you got any spaghetti?" Butter, improper cooking (everything cooked into shoe leather), total lack of spice or seasoning, all forced upon me at designated feeding times. You know it is bad when the airport Sbarro is a welcome sight.
At least the kids had fun, which is where I'm hanging my hat. But next time, we have 8 days of fun and control our own activities, and I don't have to torture them with waiting, crowds, and forced schedules. Trust me on this one: if you ever consider going on a cruise, immediately slam your genitals in a door, and then go on the internet and schedule a beach vacation for yourself with less hassle, less cost, and more amenities. And decent food.

Topic: Can't call same action from RJS
Hi everyone,
Here's my setup:
My home page has a short list of "articles" in a partial, with a conditional around the link to use link_to, if rendered from the home page, or link_to_remote if rendered from the articles page so I can swap out the HTML for each article via ajax.
My action to display an article is called "read". When I view an article from the home page via "articles/read/permalink", it works fine. I am redirected to the articles page, and it will load. But, when I'm on the articles page and I try to call "read" using an RJS file of the same name, it won't fire "page[:content].replace_html 'foo'" at all.
But, if I add a new action and use RJS to call the new action, it will work. I only need one action - read to retrieve the data I need. What should I be doing to work around this problem?
Thanks for your advice,
Sr. Developer
