How Much Cable Subscribers Pay Per Channel
TV programming is a main driver of cost in your cable bill—and the price for both is going up.
Cable and satellite providers such as Comcast, Time Warner Cable or DirecTV pay networks like ESPN and TNT a certain amount per customer for programming each month.
The wholesale cost per network is expected to increase 36% by 2018 according to media-research firm SNL Kagan estimates. Cable providers currently pay a total of $28.32 for a few dozen channels, depending on the provider and the cable package, with ESPN taking over $6 of that. Meanwhile median price paid for each channel a subscriber gets is 14 cents. ESPN is estimated to cost $8.37 per month in 2018, an increase of 39%.
Fortunately, cable bills aren't estimated to rise at that rate. According to Kagan's data, the cable industry currently charges on average $54.92 per month for basic service. By 2018 that's expected to be $61.76, a 12% increase. According to the FCC, the price of expanded basic service has increased at a compound average annual growth rate of 6.1% from 1995-2013.
Despite the rise in programming costs, which cut into its cable TV margins, cable companies continue to generate healthy profits by bundling TV with phone and broadband, a high-margin product. Cable companies also add in ancillary fees on bills like equipment charges.

Granulated Onion
Dehydrating white onions by using a hydroscopic method removes the liquid but leaves behind the flavor. These can be reconstituted and then used as you would a fresh onion. To reconstitute, soak in water for fifteen to twenty minutes. Drain any excess liquid before use or save this liquid to add some extra flavor to soups, stocks, gravies or sauces."This is every cook's opinion No savory dish without an onion, But lest your kissing should be spoiled Your onions must be fully boiled." - Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
Use these in a pinch or for everyday use. The flavor is so good nobody will be the wiser and you will save plenty of time and avoid all the mess of chopping onions.

Smart Car Goes Electric In October … Ad Campaign Pure iPod
Contributing Monkie V Ol Blak
Topics of Interest Chevy, Electric Vehicle, Smart Car, volt

Comment 1
Smart the little egg car that could, is adding a new type of engine to their cars, yes, a pure electric. Great news right? Well, yes and no for me. The only time I drive is when I trek back to L.A. or head out on a long trip, so all of the new electric cars rolling out really wont do me any good. I am holding out for a pure electric with a generator of some kind. Like the Chevy Volt, which is coming out soon. I hope it is going to be nice, less hmm how can I say this, less crappy than most of their cars. Plus, I hate the Chevy logo :( can't they update that thing?
Back to the Smart Egg Car. If your a commuter and rock an iPod / iPhone, now this would be an amazing car for you. It has a range of 80 miles per charge, which should be plenty for most people. Plus it charges up from 20% to 80% in less than 3 hours. So, once you get to work you could always top it off. I haven't see the pricing, but I am sure it wont be much more than their standard gas models, which are super cheap. Less than $20k for most models. Plus, with the Smart Car, you get the cool/fun factor, which the iPod style ad above seems to be screaming out who the target market is. The young ones, the cool ones, the ipod rocking, "G" living youth culture of the world. It's about time products made for the "G" generation are finally here. More power to Smart Car, I hope they sell millions of them.
If you get one, send in your picts to G Living we would love to see them and hear about how you feel about pure electrics. Do they work for your lifestyle? Will you be buying one? What do you think of Chevy and the Volt or any of the new electrics rolling out?

U.S. Paralympic Women's Sitting Volleyball Head Coach Bill Hamiter received the prestigious Order of Ikkos after the team took the silver medal at the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
The Order of Ikkos was established to recognize the coaches whose athletes medal during the Olympic Games. This medal is inspired by Ikkos, the first recorded Olympic coach in Ancient Greece. He is known for his coaching ability as he led two fellow Tarentine athletes to gold in the same event, Pentathlon. The USOC established the Order of Ikkos prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and provides the opportunity for athletes to recognize their coaches for their leadership and inspiration to achieve world-class performance.

Almost anyone a team drafts is that team's property until a week before the following draft. Teams can draft someone in 2005 and tell them we want to sign you, but would rather you spent a year at either Junior college or play a 4th year at D1. Depending on the date of this year's draft, the drop dead date would probably be around June 1. This would give both teams two weeks to decide on if this particular guy is legit.

And, from what I have read, Crowe will still be in the OF this year. He worked out at 2B in the instructional leagues only, and won't play 2B again until the instructional leagues after this season. So, at this point, he is not a 2B candidate. Until they officially move him to 2B, he is still an OFer. And, I am not sure he played much 2B at Arizona, if any at all.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Alacg from Hammer Gear Bag Just got this gear bag, its actually bigger than I thought it would be. This is going to be great to hold my helmet, shoes and other gear. The large compartment on the bottom of the bag to keep items dry or use for wet items is terrific. I just wish it came with a shoulder strap, but other than that I am happy with this purchase.

There was pure excitement surrounding the boys and mens courts during the 2013 National Indoor Tournament. A total of 56 athletes participating in two divisions showed up in Richmond, Va., March 1-3.
"This year was a huge success and a big improvement from last year," said Andrew Thornton, Men's National Indoor Team Head Coach. "All the games drew large crowds, which created a great atmosphere. I look forward to next year's event and the continuation of participation in field hockey for boys and men in the USA."
"This tournament was the most memorable weekend of my coaching career," said Chris Pothier, owner of Cape Ann Coalition. "Being so involved with the creation, planning and preparation of my team along with playing aside them is what made the weekend so memorable."
Pothier explained Cape Ann was not the strongest, skilled or most experienced team on paper but they had the will to win.
"We did not go into the tournament with the goal of winning," said Pothier. "Our goal was to learn and have fun, which inevitably set us up for success. It proves that unselfish play and teamwork qualities definitely worked in our favor".
USA Field Hockey would like to thank everyone who was involved in the boys and men's divisions this year. Thank you to all of the athletes and coaches for volunteering their time to mentor the younger players. As we move forward in promoting men's field hockey nationwide, we ask you to stay actively involved in the process.
If you know of any leagues or tournaments that offer boys programming, contact the Sport Development Team at email@example.com.

We know what you're thinking… "OK, the presidential campaign is in full swing, Paul Ryan is the Republican Veep nominee, the GOP convention has concluded and the Democratic convention is days away, the economic recovery is still slow and painful (with everyone blaming everybody else), the media fact-checkers and cable news commentators are having conniption fits… and we're watching Clint Eastwood chastise an empty chair without a script, while you guys are nowhere to be found?"
Guilty as charged. We won't try to put up a front — blogging can be hard when things get busy… and then the regret points start piling up ("oh, we missed this… oops, we missed that… how could we let that one get away?").

Teach for America's former teachers have formed a powerful corps of education change agents, according to an Education Next study.
While much of the debate around Teach For America (TFA) in recent years has focused on the effectiveness of its nontraditional recruits in the classroom, the real story is the degree to which TFA has succeeded in producing dynamic, impassioned, and entrepreneurial education leaders.
" TFA is one among a small cadre of organizations that currently includes New Leaders for New Schools, Education Pioneers, and Teach Plus" that are developing education leaders. It's an explicit part of TFA's mission.
Recently, TFA started a new program, the Social Entrepreneurship Initiative, which explicitly promotes innovation and entrepreneurship in the education sector. The program facilitates connections between alumni interested in starting education ventures with established social entrepreneurs. The initiative supports TFA alumni who are applying for fellowships such as Echoing Green and the Mind Trust, provides tools for developing fundraising plans and grant proposals, and publishes a newsletter that includes information about funding opportunities and management strategies.
The KIPP network, YES Prep Public Schools, New Schools for New Orleans and The New Teacher Project were founed by TFA alumni.
The study looked at founders of entrepreneurial education organizations. Where did they start? TFA was the most common answer with fewer leaders coming from San Francisco Public Schools, Newark Public Schools, Chicago Public Schools, AmeriCorps, the White House Fellows program, McKinsey & Company, and the United States Department of Education. Top managers also came from KIPP, founded by TFA alumni, and from consulting firms and large urban school districts.
It seems clear that explanatory factors include the criteria by which TFA recruits, the organization's strong and purposive culture, the skills that corps members develop, and the opportunities provided to alumni. Just to take one example, by providing talented young college grads with classroom experience, TFA confers upon them a degree of credibility that opens doors that might open less readily for others.
TFA looks for leadership ability in recruiting new corps members, the study notes. TFA alumni who become education entrepreneurs are more likely to have worked in New York City or the San Francisco area, which have strong entrepreneurial cultures. As education entrepreneurs, they tend to focus on instruction and staffing rather than finance or management.
TFA should be judged not only on whether its recruits continue as teachers but also on the impact of those who leave the classroom, the authors conclude.

Skirting Tradition
The dirt on seven snazzy alternatives to plain-Jane shorts
Anna Frost's doing it. Krissy Moehl's doing it. Ellie Greenwood's doing it. Who isn't doing it? Skirt-sporting women are swarming the trails these days, and we couldn't help but wonder: by staying in our running shorts, were we somehow missing out?
The resounding answer from our women testers: yes. After a few weeks, even those who strongly identified as "not girly-girly" found themselves donning skirts instead of shorts. While shorts often ride up, many skirts feature inner-thigh-friendly (i.e. chafe-free) compression liner shorts. Even if the liner shorts do ride up, the over-skirts allow women to focus on things other than constantly adjusting coverage—things like, you know, running.
Often, too, women found they felt more confident in skirts. Said one tester, "As silly as it sounds, the feminine look and feel helps with self image, which translates into a better run!"
However, with many of the skirts' liner shorts underneath sporting tiny inseams and loose fabric that rode up, testers found several of the skirts more suited for short runs or casual "après-run" wear than long runs. A well-designed, stay-put liner was often what set apart the great skirts from the good.
Sprint Tech Skort
$56 | movingcomfort.com
/ The Dirt /
With apparel designed and tested exclusively by women, Moving Comfort nailed it with this lightweight, eye-catching skirt—an all-around tester favorite. A wide, flattering waistband adjusts with a drawcord, and hides a zip pocket at center back for bounce-free toting of gels or keys. Drawcords and ruching at each side add a nice feminine touch.
/ Rave /
Thanks to light compression and silicone grippers at the hems, this skirt's liner shorts stayed completely in place and were still mostly hidden.
/ Rant /
It's hard to find anything not to love about this skirt, but some testers weren't thrilled with the loud colors and patterns on the liner shorts.
/ Tester-Monial /
"It only took a few runs before I was reaching for this skirt over my favorite shorts."

San Francisco stuns Roadrunners in overtime, 61-60
SAN ANTONIO — Taylor Proctor scored a game-high 21 points, including a buzzer-beating 15-foot jumper, to lift San Francisco to a 61-60 overtime victory at UTSA on Sunday afternoon at the Convocation Center.
Senior Simone Young paced the Roadrunners (5-3) with 14 points, while sophomore Kamra King and senior Miki Turner added 13 and 10, respectively.
Proctor also pulled down a game-high 14 boards for the first double-double of her career for the Dons (4-3). Mel Khlok finished with 19 points and Taj Winston also had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Senior Whitney Wright's jumper with 2:28 to go in regulation put UTSA up 52-46, but San Francisco scored the final six points, including a pair of Proctor free throws with two seconds remaining to send the game to overtime.
Sophomore Jenny Menz, who finished the contest with nine points, opened the extra session with a layup and her free throw following a basket by Gordon gave the Birds a 56-55 lead that proved to be the last for the home squad.
A Proctor jumper and two freebies by Khlok put USF up by three, 59-56, with a minute to play.
Young answered with a pair of free throws of her own and her running layup with 13.4 ticks left gave the Roadrunners a 60-59 edge.
However, Gordon drove down the court and found Proctor open on the baseline to give the Dons their first road win of the season.
Proctor scored the game's first five points and San Francisco's first seven to help the visitors grab a lead it did not relinquish until the 6:04 mark of the first half. Turner and Young hit jumpers to trim the lead to one, before Proctor connected on a pair of free throws.
Gordon then hit a 3-pointer and Winston scored to give the Dons their largest lead of the half, 12-6.
San Francisco grabbed an 18-13 cushion on another Proctor jumper before UTSA went on a 10-1 run for its first advantage of the contest.
A Turner layup started the run, which lasted nearly three minutes, and the Houston native came up with another jumper after a 3-pointer by Menz. A Khlok free throw cut the lead to one, but King capped the spurt with a trey for a 23-19 advantage with 4:51 to go.
The Dons answered with eight consecutive points of their own and did not trail the rest of the half. Another Menz 3-pointer tied the score at 29, but San Francisco scored the final four points of the stanza for a 33-29 halftime edge.
After trading baskets to start the second half, a Proctor layup gave the Dons a 37-33 edge before the Roadrunners scored 10 of the next dozen points.
King ignited the offense with a 3-pointer and hit a pair at the charity stripe for a 38-37 lead. Wright and Khlok traded layups before Young capped the stretch with a 3-pointer to make it 43-39.
The Dons struggled from the floor and went just 1-of-9 during that stretch before Winston connected from downtown with 10:03 remaining on the clock.
UTSA scored the next six for its largest lead of the contest, 49-42, with 5:02 left in regulation, but the Birds scored just three points the rest of the way.
The Roadrunners shot 35.1 percent from the field, but they hit just 9-of-32 (28.1 percent) shots after halftime.
Meanwhile, the Dons shot just 33.3 percent, but they connectied on three of their six attempts in overtime and outscored the Birds, 28-24, in the paint.
UTSA will be back in action on Wednesday, Dec. 5, when they travel to Fort Worth for a 7 p.m. matchup at TCU (3-2).

The New Hampshire state legislature started dealing with what would eventually turn into smart grids by passing legislation focusing on net-metering in 1998. It also established contractual methods for entering into solar easements in 1985. [3, 4]
In July 2008, Governor Lynch signed legislation, effective in September 2008, authorizing rate recovery for utility investments in distributed energy resources (SB 451). The purpose of the law is to stimulate public-utility investment in distributed resources as they benefit the "transmission and distribution system under state regulatory oversight." The law defines "distributed energy resources" as to include demand response and "technologies or devices located on or interconnected to the local electric distribution system for purposes including but not limited to reducing line losses, supporting voltage regulation, or peak load shaving." [1]
In 2008 the New Hampshire legislator created the Energy Efficiency & Sustainable Energy Board to "to promote and coordinate energy efficiency, demand response, and sustainable energy programs in the state." [2]
As New Hampshire has primarily unbundled their electric utilities most of the utilities deal primarily with distribution charges, as such the Public Service Company of New Hampshire had approved time-of-use rates for residential and business customers prior to 2007, as well as load management program. [5]
"In January 2008, the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission issued an Order in its proceeding to consider adopting PURPA Standard 14 ("Time-Based Metering and Communications") as enacted in EPACT 2005 in which it determined that it is "appropriate to implement" time-based metering standards. Though the Commission endorsed the idea of establishing time-based metering standards, it deferred the actual creation and implementation of them to future proceedings:
"[It is] Further Ordered, that the details, including cost-benefit analyses, form of rate design, time of implementation and applicable customer classes shall be determined in a separate proceeding or proceedings to be initiated by the Commission."
In September 2008, the Commission issued an "Order Concluding Investigation" in which it directed its Staff to create a working group to guide deployment of AMI and time-based rates:
"ORDERED, that Staff shall convene a meeting among the parties to this proceeding for the purpose of establishing a working group to facilitate the evaluation and implementation of advanced metering infrastructure and time-based rates in New Hampshire and that such working group make a report to the Commission by December 1, 2008 with regard to next steps toward utility specific cost-benefit analyses regarding such implementation and related matters…."" [1]
Time-of-Use, Time-of-Day or Peak Load Pricing rates break the cost for electricity into on-peak, or off-peak energy pricing.
Load management credits the spot market price for electricity in the New Hampshire Zone of the New England ISO for a customer who voluntarily reduces their load when notified by the company of an interruption.

Rated 2.7 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by kyle12 EH They do not slide very well on streets. Obviously they slide well on ice but so does a black puck. A little lighter than a black puck. Lifts easily off ice, but for the street I'd rather use one of the standard orange street hockey pucks. February 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Zweav Pucks This pucks slid really good on pavement where I practiced at and they were good to practice with November 13, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Beagle InLine Hockey pucks not worth the value This item from Dick's was offered in only a 3-pack. I didn't need 3 pucks, just one of quality, but assumed that's how they were packaged, so ordered the 3-pack. The service at our local store to order them was good, and I was informed the shipping cost would be free and that I could return them if not satisfied. That is good service. However, upon arrival, the 3 pucks came in one cardboard box, just thrown in, unpacked. So, it was obvious the 3-pack purchase item was not related to original packing, but to most likely to increase the cost enough for Dick's to provide "free" shipping. Also, the pucks were not of high quality; they just did not slide well on the indoor surface of the hockey rink I play at. I did return them through our local Dick's and will have to go elsewhere to find a quality inline hockey puck. April 27, 2013

In celebration of their upcoming show in MPLS on Black Friday, KRISTOFF KRANE ECID & Moodie Black dropped a surprise single. #GetInLine #SignMeUp
ECID just premiered a new jam on Potholes in my blog today. Its an anthem for yoga stoners.
Here's what Potholes had to say:
As Minneapolis-hailing rapper/producer ECID says himself on "Vinyasa Flow," he is "a gangster, a hipster and a hippy with a weakness for the whisky." That much is evident on this track that is equal parts bravado-fest and drunken stream of consciousness. And as the track continues to play, you'll be drawn in thanks to the booming, video game-y instrumental and engaging raps that jump from one topic to the next. "Vinyasa Flow" serves as our first sampling of his upcoming album, Pheromone Heavy, that's set to drop in 2015. If the rest of it sounds this goddamned crazy—I mean that in the best possibly way—the world is in for a seriously wild listen when it drops. Yeah, it's safe to say we're proud to premiere this one.
You can also cop it on Bandcamp:
We dropped a surprise/brand new David Mars album last week! Sex, Drugs & David Mars, an album entirely produced is definitely his best damn album to date. You can download it for free (or pay a little if ya want) on the FITB bandcamp
ECID is playing Soundset 2014 today. It is a special one because this is the 1st year it has SOLD OUT before doors even open. Get there early and visit the ECID booth to get a free CD of Post Euphoria 1 & 2, PLUS the brand new DAVID MARS album "Sex, Drugs, & David Mars" !!!! YES. This is a special day. Let's get crazy, friends. SEE YOU SOON
Oh yeah, ECID plays at 12:20pm on the Fifth Element stage!

Wanted man drives off after being shot by police
SPRING TWP., Pa. - A Berks County man was shot by police after he allegedly tried to run the officers down with his car.
The police gunfire hit him in the chest, but the suspect still managed to drive back to a home in Spring Township before collapsing.
State police said Spring Township police knew Rodney Hojnowski was wanted for a parole violation, and that's why they tried to pull him over Tuesday afternoon.
Around 1 p.m. Tuesday gunfire broke out on 724 (or Shillington Road) and Iroquis Avenue in Spring Township.
"I just heard pop, pop, pop," said Sharron Meiser.
The shots, fired by police, were aimed at Rodney Hojnowski.
"State parole had been looking for him for two weeks," said Trooper David Beohm.
State police said two Spring Township officers tried to pull over 31-year-old Hojnowski.
"He had pulled into the exit of the CVS, they got out, approached the vehicle and at that point he accelerated at them," said Beohm.
There were at least four bullet casings found at the scene. Beohm said he can understand why the officers felt compelled to shoot.
"He's trying to hurt them, or seriously injure or kill them, then the police officer has the right to use deadly force to stop the action," said Beohm.
But Hojnowski's childhood friend, Kevin Stofka, finds it hard to believe.
"I don't know the whole entire story," said Stofka, "I just know he wouldn't put himself in the position where he would be shot on site."
State police said Hojnowski was shot in the chest, but he continued to drive to a home on Cleveland Avenue.
"Obviously, he was hurt and he needed to get somewhere where his family was," said Stofka.
"He got out of the car and collapsed onto the sidewalk," said Beohm.
The two officers were right behind him.
"Both pursuing officers rendered him medical assistance until EMS arrived," said Beohm.
Route 724 was shut down for several hours while state police investigated the two scenes.
State police said Hojnowski is in critical but stable condition and charges will be filed as soon as he is medically cleared.

Top Cities for Loan Debt in 2013
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Colleges and universities are sending out bills (or more likely, e-bills) to students and their families this month for the 2013 fall semester.
Family budgeters already groaning at the burden of mortgage and auto loan debt can only shake their head and try to figure out a practical way of spreading around their limited wealth, covering all the loan debts they've accumulated.
The good news is that Americans are doing a better job of handling that debt. According to Manilla.com, a New York City account management services company, the average total debt held by users across the nation is declining, having decreased 1.1% through the first quarter of 2013 and 4.2% since the fourth quarter of 2012.
At first glance, financial consumers are stepping up to the plate and taking a good cut at their mortgage and student loan debt, if not their auto loan debt:
Mortgages: The average mortgage balance as of July 1 was $150,200, down approximately 4% from the end of 2012.
Student loans: The national average student loan balance was $12,814, versus $12,826.04 at the close of the first quarter of 2013. The average loan payment also dropped nearly 8% in this period, from $121 to $112.
Auto loans: Auto loan balances have increased 7.9% since the end of 2012, to an average of $13,124.
But against that backdrop, another story emerges -- specifically that the size of individual loan debt depends on what city and state you live in.
For example, Californians owe the most, on average, on their mortgages. That suggests they're paying the highest prices in the country for a new home.
Highest mortgage loan debt, by city:
1. San Francisco: $312,301.64
2. Los Angeles: $262,792.56
3. San Diego: $258,548.22
4. New York: $250,078.12
5. Washington, D.C.: $226,444.31
6. Seattle-Tacoma, Wash.: $199,205.30
7. Sacramento, Calif.: $194,796.46
8. Portland, Ore.: $176,452.78
9. Boston: $176,350.70
10. Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Fla.: $176,057.60
The student loan debt picture has a Dixie slant to it. Here are the top 10 cities for student loan debt, again from Manilla. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why the South has five of the top 10 cities for student loan debt, other than residents of those cities have less cash on hand than the average American.
Highest student loan debt, by city:
1. Memphis: $21,578.22
2. Las Vegas: $19,571.48
3. Atlanta: $18,470.69
4. Birmingham, Ala.: $18,088.25
5. Washington, DC: $17,918.88
6. Albany-Schenectady-Troy, N.Y.: $17,046.92
7. Richmond-Petersburg, Va.: $17,034.41
8. Phoenix, Ariz.: $17,013.12
9. Baton Rouge, La.: $16,913.43
10. Chicago: $16,733.68
On auto loans, the scene stays down south, with eight of the top 10 cities with the biggest vehicle loan debt below the Mason-Dixon line. Again, that suggests a lack of cash saved up for a new car or truck, as well as a burgeoning belief that the economy is getting better and that jobs are safer in 2013.

Three days and five or six listens in, I think I can write my NEW review.
So, NEW. It's a funny old title. Because, while he feels and sounds fresher and 'newer' than he did/does on Chaos and MAF, this album is really like an old, familiar friend. There's something on each track you feel you've heard somewhere before, whether it's a hint of melody, a vocal inflection, a little guitar twinkle or a bass run. He's gone for relatively young, relatively contemporary producers as – it seems – one last effort to have a hit album, a number one. But this has turned out to be the album for the McCartney fan. It's a culmination of everything that's gone before – with the benefit of a little bit of modern-ish production and the confidence that's come from his post-Beatles career-best run since Flaming Pie.
To the songs!
Save Us
Straight off the bat, a killer rocker. Guitars that hark to the Cardigans and the Strokes. Much better, tighter on the record than it was on those early live performance. The backing vocals deliver the classic McCartney hooks.
Along with Early Days, the best track on the album. Takes some of the Chaos melodies and atmosphere and gives it a driving rhythm. Fun, playful lyrics that have obviously been given a bit of work. The quiet/synthy bridge is really startling on the first listen but it works fantastically.
On My Way To Work
Like a comfortable glove. Mid-tempo, relaxed, strumming McCartney. His favourite chord progressions. Back on the top deck of a bus for the first time since 67. Using the cigar-box guitar to give the song something different works really well. The final two chords of the middle 8/bridge are just such a classic McCartney manoeuvre.
Queenie Eye
A driving little powerhouse. Epworth's drums before the chorus comes in really make the song for me. He's not sounded as energetic as he does on this for years. I wouldn't have thought he could pull off a chirpy pop song at 71 as well as he does here, so hats off.
Early Days
The standout track. Beautiful, evocative lyrics. He sounds his age for perhaps the only time on the record. If the rest of the material hadn't been so strong, I would be screaming 'do an acoustic guitar/piano album' from the rooftops (I still think that should be the next project). Lovely backing atmosphere etc. I think one of the reviews (Pitchfork, I think) said that the final verse isn't about scoring John points, it's about how it feels for your early life to be mythologised and completely out of your control. And that's something only a few people have to live with. And is there a better line in the McCartney solo catalogue than "May sweet memories of friends from the past/Always comes to you, when you look for them"
More fun when stuck in the middle of the album. Doesn't sound out of place at all.
A real grower with some great hooks. Obviously a lot recent Fireman influence here, but reminded me of 222 (I think) of the MAF bonus songs. Love the little snare turnaround.
Everybody Out There
The song he's written at least ten times before, but it's okay. It rips along, is a bit of fun, and doesn't outstay its welcome.
Not quite the masterpiece that was promised by the hype, but a touching, quiet little piece that has a sense of Why So Blue and How Kind Of You to it. I do think a mellow/acoustic album should be the next project. Close-mic him, I want to hear those old vocal chords.
I Can Bet
Really fun verses and groove spoiled by a really lazy chorus – he could've done a lot better with it. Nice Wings vibe to the solo, though. The first instance on the album you feel he's rushed something through and just said 'that's good enough'
Looking at her
Great, sparse production, especially the intro. Good guitar sound, and well sung. I think the synthy keys in the bridge work well, too, it doesn't jar. One of the highlights of the album.
Where's the hook? It's not come through to me yet. This is the only track I've not found myself humming yet. Maybe it will reveal its secrets over time, but we'll see. I'm sure it will.
Turned Out
Ouch – another that's not great. It's fine as a bonus track. Really sounds like something from the Complete Off The Ground.
Get me out of here
What a hoot! Perhaps the most fun thing on the whole disc. You don't often get him swinging and being a little bluesy. And the Indian-ish rhythms make it really stand out as something different. A little gem.
Classic late-period McCartney. Borrows heavily from Loving Game and others, but fairly revealing lyrics for him and those piano chord changes that he does so well. Perfect way to end.
It's as darn good as a pop McCartney album has any right to be in 2013. The lyrics aren't as revealing as DR, it's not got the consistent quality of CACITBY and it doesn't rock as hard as MAF, but it's got a little bit of everything from his solo years and a sprinkling of stuff we haven't seen before. I'm surprised he's pulled off an energetic pop album at 71 as well as he has. That acoustic, 'old-sounding' album will have to wait a few years. I'm glad he still has the inclination to get up in the morning and put something like this together.
So it's more of a 'classic McCartney' album than DR, CACITBY, MAF and EA were. But it continues that streak of quality. Great work.

More:FY 2012 State and USAID - Core Budget | FY 2012 State and USAID - Overseas Contingency Operations
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered remarks today before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on national security and foreign policy priorities in the FY 2012 international affairs budget.
Secretary Clinton began her opening remarks by speaking on Libya. She said, "I recently took part in emergency meetings in Geneva to discuss the events unfolding in Libya, and I'd like to begin by offering a brief update. As the Chairman said, we have joined the Libyan people in demanding that Colonel Qadhafi must go, now, without further violence and bloodshed. And we are working to translate the world's outrage into action and results.
"Marathon diplomacy at the United Nations and with our allies has yielded quick, aggressive steps to pressure and isolate Libya's leaders. We welcome yesterday's decision to suspend Libya from the Human Rights Council, as I had urged a day earlier. USAID is focused on Libya's food and medical supplies, and is dispatching two expert humanitarian teams to help those fleeing the violence into Tunisia and Egypt. Our combatant commands are positioning assets to prepare to support these critical civilian missions. And we are taking no option off the table so long as the Libyan Government continues to turn its guns on its own people."
Secretary Clinton then addressed FY 2012 budget priorities and national security. She said, "Our progress is significant, but our work is ongoing. These missions are vital to our national security, and now would be absolutely the wrong time to pull back.
"The FY 2012 budget we discuss today will allow us to keep pressing ahead. It is a lean budget for lean times. I launched the first-ever Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review, the so-called QDDR, to help us maximize the impact of every dollar we spend. We scrubbed this budget. We made painful but responsible cuts. For example, we cut economic assistance to Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia by 15 percent. We cut development assistance to over 20 countries by more than half.
"This year, for the first time, our request is divided into two parts. Our core budget request is $47 billion. That supports programs and partnerships in every country but North Korea. It is essentially flat from 2010 levels. The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort. This is the same way the Pentagon's request is funded, in a separate overseas contingency operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering our war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that reflects our fully integrated civilian-military effort on the ground. Our share of the President's $126 billion request for these exceptional wartime costs in frontline states is $8.7 billion."

Dave P. in California writes:
47 billion dollars to partner with other nations for programs in their country, are you kidding me? We are laying off teachers nationwide and we want to spend $47 billion in other countries. Let's take care of American citizens first. Half of the State Departments budget would take care of all our schools here at home and their inability to keep teachers employed. It is time we prioritize problems here at home and let other countries take care of them self.
Onci K. in Florida writes:
I am very upset that you said that US do not opject to Moslems enter the new government of EGYPT. Please study carefully the above link, Please stand for Coptic pubulation in Egypt. Do not be dubel face, thanks

"Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. "
The Best Blue Marlin Fishing in the World
I sit in the fighting chair aboard the 33-foot charter sport-fishing boat Reel Addiction, mesmerized by the churning wash of a stream of white bubbles into the clear, sapphire-blue South Pacific Ocean. Behind and above me on the bridge, at the helm, is skipper Steve Campbell, a 60-year-old tanned and sinewy ex-New Zealander.
We have five rods embedded firmly around the transom, their lines extending beyond the stern at various lengths, held in positions apart from each other to prevent tangling by long "outrigger" poles. Tag lines run off the poles and are attached to the 60-kilogram-test Dacron fishing line with rubber bands. When a fish takes the lure—a giant plastic purple-and-black-skirted squid measuring up to 20 inches in length being pulled along briskly at eight knots, skipping and gurgling through the waves—the force breaks the rubber band and line tears off the reel directly. Simple but ingenious.
The reels are huge, expensive, calibrated cranking machines filled with braided line the length of six football fields.
Instantly, in the blaze of the afternoon sun, after trolling more than 60 nautical miles all morning without so much as a hint of a fish, I am startled from my woozy half-nap by the sound of Campbell yelling: "Marlin! Marlin on the port long!" He throttles down the engine and I dive for the thick rod with the shrilly whining gold reel. I somehow manage to wrestle the butt back to the chair and into the socket.
I'm holding on for dear life, heart pounding, my whole body electrified. The line is speeding up in a screeching buzz. Fifty yards out in the shimmering blue haze, a massive silvery shape with dark bill and huge eyes, plainly visible this far away, erupts from the water. Imagine a fish the size of a sports car. The stunning blue marlin rockets into the air once, twice, three, four times in a series of spectacular leaps.
I reel with frenzied energy, accomplishing nothing. The giant chrome predator of the sea is in charge. My eye follows the line, now curving and coming toward the boat. Suddenly the fish is in the air again in a geyser of salt spray. It crashes back into the water and my line is slack. The fish is gone. I look back at Campbell. He reads my forlorn face.
"Nothing you did, mate," he says. "A fish is either hooked or not—if it falls out there's not a lot you can do."
When Campbell invited me to fish with him last year, I jumped at the opportunity. He has guided anglers seeking the ultimate bluewater prize for a dozen years, amassing an astonishing record of more than 1,500 blue marlin hooked and brought to boat, including several increasingly rare "granders": fish of 1,000 pounds or more. (The vast majority have been released alive, to support the species and sustain the fishery he loves.) To put this number in perspective, many noted marlin guides in other parts of the world have boated one-tenth as many during a similar stretch.
Campbell's success has nothing to do with luck. He has a keen, analytical mind. He has recorded the details of each blue marlin caught or lost over the years, using the information to see behavioral patterns and develop fresh insights. Most blue marlin experts, for example, had long believed that the fish were solitary hunters—strikes, after all, were single strikes. Campbell started towing a fisheye video camera.
"In a flash, we'd see a fish right next to a lure," he says. "Then, suddenly, there would be one, two and sometimes three more in view. They were a little deeper, just watching the spread."
Campbell points out that blue marlin are precise—not crash-and-bash—predators. From watching hours of video, he learned that some of them "lit up" before the strike. Others billed the lure but never appeared to have any intention of biting. Some took a look and veered away. Still others followed closely for a long time, changing from lure to lure.
"I would speed up or make a dramatic turn," he says, "and sometimes that was enough to provoke a strike. I guess blues have character, attitude and a touch of personality blended with genetic predatory disposition. That's what makes them such exciting sport fish."
Where in the World Is Tonga?
Tonga is a chain of 176 islands in the South Pacific, southeast of Fiji and south of Samoa. It's about a third of the distance (roughly 500 miles) in a south-north line from New Zealand to Hawaii. There are three principal groups of islands: Tongatapu, Ha'apai and Vava'u.
Tongatapu is where the modern-day king lives; he lords over the last Polynesian monarchy. Ha'apai, the middle group of islands, is well known to naval historians and fans of Marlon Brando's foppish performance as ship's master Fletcher Christian in the classic 1962 film, Mutiny on the Bounty. Here in April 1789, the real Christian and 22 supporters took control of his majesty's 90-foot armed vessel. Vava'u, the northern cluster of islands, is the favorite of divers, snorkelers, sailers, seasonal whale watchers, birders and, of course, anglers. It's where I spent two weeks last October.
Tonga was first settled by Polynesians some 3,500 years ago. The first Europeans to arrive were Dutch explorers, in 1616. By then the Kingdom of Tonga was a well-established hierarchy of traditions, including the ceremonial roasting of human flesh. Captain James Cook, the legendary English explorer, might not have become so legendary had Tongan chiefs decided to have him for dinner during his visit in 1774 to what he called "The Friendly Islands." His luck ran out five years later at Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii, when some not-so-friendly natives stoned him and stabbed him to death.
If you want to go play in the Tongan sunshine, don't worry: it was way back in 1910 when the last cannibals ate two Presbyterian missionaries.
If You Want to Go
You'll find information about visiting Tonga at thekingdomoftonga.com. High season for bluewater fishing and whale watching runs from July through October. To inquire about or book fishing at Ika Lahi Lodge, Vava'u, visit tongafishing.com, email email@example.com or call +67-670-611. Lupenpau'u International Airport, which welcomes private jets, is 10 kilometers from the town of Neifu, the hub of the Vava'u group of islands. To arrange your schedule, go to tongaairports.com.

This is my first intake of Krill. Pills are a bit big, but easy to swallow. No funny smell, or after-ingestion effects (ie, no bloating, stomach ache, etc). I can not say I saw positive effects, krill seems to be more like long-term maintenance product. Overall, good impression with quality of product and packaging. I would order it again.
Odd Pill Covering

I don't have any way to determine the efficacy of this product but I will say that it comes with the strangest pill covering I've ever encountered. Hard, gray plastic like substance (think small gray submarine). I haven't had any problems with my stomach after taking the pills so the covering isn't causing me grief, but it is very odd.

Posted by 4735700490403227597 on Jul 24, 2015
It contains HUGE capsules!!! It means 28mm length and 10mm in diameter. It is very difficult (psychically) to swallow it.

Get Connected
If you had any interest in music in the '70s and '80s, you know the music of Styx. They were the first rock 'n' roll band to release four consecutive albums that went Multi-Platinum beginning with The Grand Illusion followed by Pieces of Eight, Cornerstone and Paradise Theatre. It was the power ballad, "Lady," from the album Styx II that was their breakout hit and got the ball rolling. On the heels of the hit single "Lady," Styx released Equinox in 1975, selling well and yielding the rock anthem "Suite Madame Blue," which gained the band considerable recognition and airplay. When Tommy Shaw signed on, it proved to be the missing piece in the puzzle and the rest was history, spawning such classic rock radio standards as "Come Sail Away," "Renegade," "Blue Collar Man" and "Fooling Yourself." Now Styx is back at Silver Legacy for one night! Join the band that continues to conquer the planet, one venue at a time.

Hold a Paper Airplane Contest
Calling all paper airplane experts! Start a Paper Airplane Contest in your school and prove just how far and how long your airplanes can fly. It's a fun way to learn about aerodynamics!
- Grades: 1–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12
Follow these instructions to hold your own paper airplane contest! Students can participate individually, in teams, or as a class.
Students can choose to build two different types of paper airplanes. One paper airplane should be designed to fly as far as possible. The other paper airplane will need to stay in the air as long as possible.
Before building their paper airplanes, students should research the basics of aerodynamics and flight. Check out our list of books and online teaching resources at the bottom of this page for research materials.
NOTE: Cardboard planes and planes made from paper airplane kits should not be used. The teacher is responsible for checking the materials in the planes to make sure they are made out of only the allowed materials listed below.
Building the Paper Airplanes
- Encourage students to research aerodynamics before they begin designing their own planes. Print out copies of "What Makes Paper Airplanes Fly?" for students to read or provide your own research materials.
- Hand out four 8.5"x11" sheets of copy paper to each competitor or team. The students must use the paper given to them, though they may choose to use one or two sheets per paper airplane.
- Provide the following optional materials for each competitor or team. Explain to the students that the following materials are not required, but may be used if the students desire.
- one standard paper clip
- three inches of tape
- a dab of glue
- three staples
- Allow the students to work on their paper airplanes for as long as you see fit. All competitors should have the same amount of time to complete their airplanes.
Distance Test Rules
For the distance category, each student throws his or her paper airplane while the teacher records distances in feet and inches. All distances must be measured from the starting line to the point where the plane first touches the ground or floor -- not the final resting place if it slides. Each student has up to three chances to get his or her best distance.
Time in Air Test Rules
For the time in air category, each student throws his or her airplane while the teacher times the flights with an accurate stopwatch. Report the times in seconds and hundredths of a second. (Example: 2.45 seconds.) Each student has up to three chances to get his or her longest "time in air."
Announcing the Winners
When all the results are in, determine two winners: the student or team who makes the airplane that flies the farthest and the student or team who makes the airplane that flies the longest time.
Included Here:
- Books (2)
- Online Teaching Resources (3)
Air And Flight (It's Science!)
Readers can use the easy text and colorful photographs in this book to help make their own experiments and learn about air. From air's makeup and strength to objects that float, glide, and fly, this book covers a wide range of material.
Online Teaching Resources
What Makes Paper Airplanes Fly?
Use this article about the aerodynamics of paper airplanes to accompany the National Paper Airplane Contest.
National Air and Space Museum
Help your students explore the history and science of flight with the National Air and Space Museum! Visit their website for online exhibits about air travel and space exploration, as well as support material for teachers, lesson plans, demonstration ideas, and hands-on activities. Be sure to check out the How Things Fly exhibit before you make your paper airplanes!
How We Made the First Flight
Based on the work of flight pioneer Orville Wright, this online text contains his accounts of the first trials and flight of the Wright brothers' airplane, as well as black-and-white photographs.

November 8, 2010 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Issuance of Food Package to 6 – 11 month Old Infant
SUBJECT 2: Breastfeeding Literature in the warehouse
SUBJECT 3: FFY 2010 End of Year Billing Due December 10, 2010
SUBJECT 4: New Participation Report
- Issuance of Food Package to 6 – 11 month Old Infant: Please see the attachment with the change that has been made to MOWINS in the issuance to the 6-11 month old infant (Non-breastfeeding and Partially Breastfed infant) who receives an exempt formula/medical food BUT Does Not Receive Complementary Infant Foods (Infant Cereal, Infant Fruit, and Infant Vegetables) (ER# 2.07000).
MOWINS is able to print an additional formula check for 1, 2 or 3 cans of formula for infants 6-11 months who do not receive complementary infant foods (infant cereal, infant fruit, and infant vegetables) (ER# 2.07000). As a result of this change the LWP will be able to provide services faster and more efficiently to WIC Participants without having to do a direct shipment as has been necessary in the past. If you have any questions, please contact your TA nutritionist.
- Breastfeeding Literature in the warehouse: The warehouse now has in stock again, "20 Great Reasons to Breastfeed" (catalog #200) and has added a new brochure from Noodle Soup titled, "Breastfeeding for Good Health" (catalog #189). For more information on literature that is available in the warehouse and how to order go to the Warehouse on the department's website. If you have any questions about breastfeeding literature, please contact Kathy Mertzlufft at firstname.lastname@example.com or call her at 573-526-4792.
- FFY 2010 End of Year Billing Due December 10, 2010: The deadline for submission of FFY 2010 end of year invoices is Friday, December 10, 2010. Expenses must have been incurred prior to October 1, 2010 to qualify for the FFY 2010 funding year. The grant year will close the end of December and payments beyond this date are not possible.
September Invoice due 10-10-2010
SUPP1 due 11-10-2010
SUPP2 due 12-10-2010 – ABSOLUTE DEADLINE
Please contact your District Technical Assistance staff if you need assistance.
- New Participation Report: We've received some questions about the new participation report that is available in Crystal Reports and the accuracy of the data. The new report counts participants the same way as the previous 425 Excel/PDF version. We did three months of validation on the data (comparing new to old) before the final decision was made to move forward with the new report. The only difference between this new report and the old report is the format and the WIC categories have been expanded for breastfeeding. The counts are the same.
One reason that the initial participation count for October could be different is that many agencies either shut down WIC services or had very limited WIC services available during the last week of October for the WIC Conference. When the report runs at the end of November, it will show the 30 day (final) count for October.
If you have any questions about the new participation report and your agencies count, please contact your district TA team members.
Update 6-11 month old receiving Exempt formula and no infant food-cereal 11-2-10

Topic: Library not found for class Digest::SAM2 -- digest/sha2
I am new to ruby and rails and am trying to learn the infrastructure (obviously) and am using Agile Web Development with Rails (4th ed) to start with.
Using Rails 3.0.7 and Ruby 1.8.7
In attempting to encrypt a password + salt using the code:
Digest::SHA2.hexdigest(password + 'wibble' + salt)
I get the error in the subject.
How do I tell rails where to find the library? It exists in the proper directory in the Ruby install.
As a side question, what is the point of 'wibble' in thhe code?
Thanks in advance for any help. -Fred

Maybe Harris shouldn't have talking trash on the previous play.
If we lose this game…
If we lose this game, it is entirely on the coaching staff. Entirely. And McCarthy needs to start thinking about his next job, because he's not gonna be able to keep this one for a whole lot longer.
Absolutely inexcusable.
Nice job by the Packers again making the nobody QB of the week look like Payton Manning.
Do we get to stop pretending that Al Harris is still a shutdown corner? The guy gives up a couple of huge plays every week. He is a head case and should retire.

1600 Exposition Blvd. · Sacramento, CA
Sponsored by the California Dental Association (CDA), CDA Foundation and America's Dentists Care Foundation
When: Thursday, August 23, 2012: Clinic setup from 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. (no patients)
Friday, August 24, 2012: Dental clinic from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday, August 25, 2012: Dental clinic from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sunday, August 26, 2012: Clinic teardown from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. (no patients)
Where: Cal Expo, 1600 Exposition Blvd., Sacramento, California
Why: The need is greater than ever - an estimated 30 percent of Californians experience barriers to care. State budget cuts eliminated most oral health services for low-income adults leaving them without access to dental care. In children, dental disease is a chronic epidemic - more common than asthma and obesity - affecting nearly two-thirds of California's children by the time they reach third grade.
Who Benefits: CDA Cares will offer free dental care to Californians who have difficulty accessing care, including the uninsured, underinsured, unemployed and others in need. Patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Services: The main goal of CDA Cares is to relieve pain and infection. With the help of community volunteers, dental professionals will donate their time and skills to offer cleanings, fillings, extractions, oral health education and assistance in finding a dental home.
Volunteers Needed: Physicians, dental lab technicians, nurses, pharmacists, translators, dentists, specialists - including oral surgeons, hygienists, assistants, dental students, and other members of the community willing to donate their time. In addition to providing dental services, volunteers are needed to escort patients and translate, dispense medication, setup and tear down the clinic, register patients and volunteers, conduct exit interviews, enter data, provide oral health education and more.
About CDA Cares CDA Cares is a collaborative effort among the California Dental Association (CDA), the CDA Foundation and the national charitable organization America's Dentists Care Foundation. CDA Cares is a new event aimed at providing free dental care to Californians in need.

Not really a maccaissue but close. Remeber a while ago there was a discussion bying copied vesrions of the Beatlesmonosets or not. Well I ordered a used, set fom Amazon.com. Thougt it was rather safe and I have very good experiences buying from that sourse. When I recieved the package it looked very much like the real thing but there were certain details that made me somewhat suspicious. Things concerning the print of album sleeves, colours etc. Very, very small details indeed Soundwise it was OK -having listened to the real thing I couldn t tell a difference. But one of the albums were almost unlistenable due to digital noise. So I was tricked by some xyz bastard. Anyway Amazon.com gave me a refund of my money so now I have the beatles monobox in an acceptable version without paying anything( I arranged a version of the default cd from a friend).
The moral of this story is....Well I don t know really know. Don t trust anyone and if you do see to that you have a safetynet. For me it turned out rather good since I could use the refundmoney and buy the brilliant new monobox from the Kinks. In my book the greatest rrelease of anything Kinks ever.
The collector in me still feel a nagging hurt not being sure if I own the real thing or not...but I don t think I should invest anymore in this box since it mostly was the sound I was after.
One other question - do I recomend buying copies or counterfeits. Hell no - these business are dirty and belongs to the world of organised crime, There is also a big risk to get screwed and lose money. Downloading or buying bootlegs is for me a different thing than couneterfeits. Personally I think Apple made a a mistake releasing the monobox in limited version and don t selling the monoalbums separately. Think that this encourages illegal business.
Anyway - the monoversion of Helter Skelter really kicks a-s - even more so than the stereoversion. Surprising also how good listening experience you have with monoversions of some of the Beatles more phsycedelic songs like Fool on the hill, or Lucy in the sky.

This week's Succubus Image is something a little more violent that what I normally post… I am looking less at what she is doing than the quality of the art that this artist has created… According to the image, the artist is Yuki Hayabusa… It's a moody yet striking image in my opinion, very reflective …

Kia is continuing its quest to become the producer of the world's most fuel-efficient and greenest vehicles. New developments will see the Korean carmaker introduce an all-electric city car, along with a range of other technologies to make its cars go further on various fuel sources.
Full technical details on Kia's new EV haven't been revealed, but the new model will enter the light CUV segment and is expected to use an advanced LiPoly battery to power an electric motor. Officials says it will be able to travel a 160 kilometres on a single charge and deliver a maximum speed of 130km/h.
The Korean carmaker initially plans to produce 2,000 of its small EV cars in 2012 for use in its domestic market. Automotive commentators say the Kia Naimo concept (pictured), revealed at the Seoul Motor Show earlier this year, could offer a hint for the new EV's styling. Kia has also confirmed it will introduce a second EV in 2014 in the form of a Soul-sized small car.
In addition to hybrids and all-electric vehicles, Kia Motors has been introducing other fuel-saving technology under its green Eco-Dynamics brand.
New Zealand has already seen elements of this technology in the recently launched Kia Picanto mini car, which features fuel-saving technology called Idle Stop & Go (ISG), which stops the engine when the car is idling at traffic lights and automatically re-starts when the clutch is depressed. Combined with its small 1.25-litre engine, the Picanto ISG is currently New Zealand's most economical petrol dedicated car with a 4.3L/100km combined economy rating.

Ages ago Shannon, Pomme and I made some fabric bags. The plan was to give them out outside a super market. But the bags proved harder to make than we first thought. But we had a dozen or so made. They were in the Action Room until all the craft stuff was moved into the Crafty Room. Now I can't find them. One of them is particularly interesting, as it contains the foot pedal for my sewing machine, along with some scissors, tailor's chalk, pins and other things.
Has anyone seen any of these bags? I had a pretty good rummage around this afternoon and managed to eventually find most of my sewing machine, but not much else.
