Joyce at 100
James Joyce thought about his centenary long before it occurred to his readers to do so. He scrawled in a notebook on Bloomsday, the day of Ulysses, in 1924, "Today 16 of June twenty years after. Will anybody remember this date." His Stephen Dedalus in Ulysses asks the same question as he jots down lines for a new poem, "Who ever anywhere will read these written words?" Stephen also recalls, with a twinge, how before leaving for Paris he gave instructions that in the event of his death his epiphanies should be deposited in all the major libraries of the world, including Alexandria: "Someone was to read them there after a few thousand years…." The library at Alexandria having been burned centuries before, chances were slim that anyone would be reading his epiphanies there at any time.
Still, if Joyce mocked such immortal longings, it was because he had immortal longings to mock. His brother Stanislaus, who drew a sharp line between fiction and fact, remembered that James had given him similar instructions for the disposal of his poems and epiphanies before leaving for Paris in 1902. No one will object to brave youths displaying youthful bravado. Flushed with talent, or its semblance, they have all claimed with Shakespeare,
Not marble, nor the gilded monu- ments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rime.
Sometimes they've been right.
Joyce was convinced that a great future lay in store for him, and on the promise of it he allowed people to help him secure it. In 1904 he thought briefly that the moment had arrived; an Irish-American millionaire named Kelly seemed about to lend him money to start up a weekly magazine which was to be called The Goblin. Joyce said to his friend Francis Sheehy Skeffington, who was to be the co-editor, "I think I'm coming into my kingdom." Unfortunately, millionaire Kelly withdrew. Eight years later the same phrase occurs in a letter from Joyce to his wife: "I hope that the day may come when I shall be able to give you the fame of being beside me when I have entered into my Kingdom."
That he was still borrowing "left right and centre" did not dishearten him. In 1907 his second child was born in a pauper ward, but in that atmosphere Joyce confided to his brother, "My mind is of a type superior to and more civilized than any I have met up to the present." An empty wallet did not impede his conviction of spiritual affluence. His confidence persisted as he grew older, and his putative kingdom continued to include the posterity for whom he thought his books would be required texts. When a friend asked him why he was writing Finnegans Wake in the way he was, Joyce replied, with a brag intended to provoke a smile, "To keep the critics busy for three hundred years."
The first hundred of these three hundred years Joyce appears to have weathered quite well. His…

I hope that those of you who aren't used to this type of forum software get used to using the controls, especially the quote function. As I read through the older threads, not using that function makes things very hard to read as the old '>' used by many didn't translate here very well. All you need to do is [*quote]put copied text here[*/quote] (omitting the '*', I had to use that to make the quote controls show) instead of using the old brackets if you're entering your quote manually.
If you go into your User CP and select Edit Options, you can get the WYSIWYG editor, which will give you all the formatting controls for text size, color, links, images (not functional yet, per Barry). New start to a great forum, Barry, thank you muchly for the change!

Hundreds of geese to be rounded up in Saltville
SALTVILLE, Va. - Geese and ducks are getting out of control in one local town.
Officials said the exploding population is a growing problem to residents and visitors, and soon they'll soon be rounded up and shipped out.
A flock of geese and ducks lingering around Saltville can be a lovely picture of wildlife. "They're beautiful when they're flying and when they're on the ground," said Mike Taylor, the town manager of Saltville.
But it's their numbers that are causing concern in the town.
Taylor told us there are at least 500 Canadian geese and ducks roaming the small town and making their mark. "They leave their 'love' all over the place," Taylor laughed, "and [they] can be messy."
We found out they can also be in the way to the entrance of town. "As you're going through that area, they'll get in the road and you just literally can't get through," said Taylor.
We found out geese love the links, and they've created years of annoyance at the Saltville Golf Club. "I don't know what they're eating, but they dig holes in our greens that are at least two or three inches. It's pretty insane," said Jill Woodward with the Saltville Golf Club.
Just as expected, we found a flock waddling along the fairway Monday morning, creating another obstacle for Mike Barrett's golf game. "When the greens [are] torn up you have a terrible time putting and stuff, and they really do it," Barrett told News 5.
After years of problems, town officials are saying 'enough is enough'.
They've asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to round up these bothersome birds and get them out of town on Wednesday, because other methods simply haven't worked. "We've had dogs run them; we've had folks with blanks in shotguns shooting, just many different ways to try to get them to leave the area. They came back in a day or two," said Taylor.
We found out not everyone is board with the roundup. Marlene Michalski and her two-year-old granddaughter, Taylor, visit the birds twice a week. "She loves them. She loves to see them and feed them," said Michalski.
The pair doesn't want their feathered friends leave for good. "We'd rather not see it happen," Michalski added.
Once the U.S. Department of Agriculture takes the geese they will be donated to nonprofit organizations, zoos or wildlife rehabilitation facilities for animal consumption.
We're told the removal could cost the town up to $4,000, and it's a process the town does about every three years.

Armed robbery suspect surrenders
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - A teenager wanted in connection with the armed robbery of a Jacksonville tobacco shop turned himself into authorities Friday, according to Jacksonville Police.
Christopher Lee Petteway, Jr., who was wanted by Jacksonville Police on armed robbery charges, surrendered to Onslow County deputies at approximately 7:00 p.m., according to a JPD news release.
Warrants for his arrest were served by Jacksonville Police Department Detectives.
At approximately 7:50 PM, on Wednesday, May 15th, Jacksonville Police responded to a report of an armed robbery at Emily's Tobacco Shop, located in the Piney Green Shopping Center, 175-4 Freedom Way. The suspect entered the business, requested cigarettes and pointed a silver revolver at the clerk, demanding cash from the register, according to police.
The suspect fled the scene on foot, running between the buildings into the area behind the shopping center. Jacksonville Police, with the assistance of the Onslow County Sheriff's Department, established a perimeter and conducted a search of the area, but did not locate the subject.
The investigation identified the suspect as Christopher Lee Petteway, Jr., 18, of Midway Park. He is charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault by pointing a gun, felony possession of stolen property and was booked at the the Onslow County Jail under an $80,750 secured bond.
"We appreciate the assistance of Onslow County Sheriff's Department with this case," said Captain Jason Bettis, JPD investigative services division.

When working on a complete build, there's nothing more gratifying than bolting major components together for the first time and installing them onto the chassis. It's definitely a major turning point after working on many other facets, including initial teardown, panel replacement, body modifications, and suspension installations to name but a few. After all the hard work, it's the first time your project starts to look like a car again, which is enough to pump up anyone's adrenaline. With a pile of parts and a freshly dynoed 416 stroker from Turn Key Powertrain waiting for action, Peter Newell of Competition Specialties in Walpole, Massachusetts, was looking forward to getting started on giving Orange Krate, our '71 project Camaro, a pulse. First, the Detroit Speed hydroformed subframe was anchored on a set of padded jack stands as Newell addressed the installation of the three-part Detroit Speed engine mounting kit, which comes complete with all mounting hardware. To begin, the frame-side engine mount stands were bolted in place to the subframe. Next, the LS mill was hoisted from the crate to make room so the CNC aluminum adapter plates could be bolted to the side of the engine block. The plates were then capped with polyurethane engine mounts. With the mounts secured in place, the engine was lowered into the subframe and secured in place with 4-inch-long Grade 8 bolts.
To transfer power from the stroked LS3, a close-ratio overdrive Tremec TKO-600 five-speed transmission from Hurst Driveline Conversions (HDLC) was called to duty featuring bulletproof reliability and 700 lb-ft torque capacity. One of the most important components for linking the power to the pavement is the clutch system. Since Orange Krate will see a multitude of driving situations, from road courses, autocrosses, dragstrips, and everyday driving, a call was placed to Centerforce for their new cutting-edge DYAD DS twin-disc clutch assembly. The DYAD system offers a multi-floating disc and drive disc design able to handle extreme power levels while also offering a light pedal effort and superior high-end holding capacity.
HDLC provided a complete hydraulic clutch kit, which was a snap to install to the Tremec TKO-600 five-speed transmission with the provided instructions and hardware. Once installed, the transmission was bolted to a Quick Time bellhousing, and then to the engine. The crowning touch was a pair of Lemons headers, which made the presentation of components in the subframe look ready for action. With the drivetrain secured to the body once again, project Orange Krate is now ready for a number of upcoming installations, including Vintage Air A/C, driver related components, and fuel system.
Stay tuned as we hit the nitrous in future issues!

| » Thousands pay their respects
In her song "Cuando Muere Una Dama," Jenni Rivera sang that when she died, she wanted crowds to gather, throw a raucous party, and celebrate her smile and her tears.
"Drink tequila and beer, let the bands play with might," she sang. "Release butterflies, applaud me with your hands, because that's how you celebrate when a lady dies."
About seven years after the release of that song, her haunting lyrics will come to pass Wednesday during Rivera's memorial service at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City. Nearly 6,000 fans are expected to arrive holding white roses.
Billed by the Rivera family as a "Celestial Graduation," the service is scheduled to be held from 10 a.m. to noon. Rivera's brother, the Rev. Pedro Rivera Jr., will lead the ceremony.
A limited number of tickets were available on a first-come, first-served basis Tuesday at noon, and reportedly sold out in 15 minutes.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will have more deputies on hand for what's expected to be a large crowd, Sgt. Kevin Rasmussen of the Universal City substation said.
He said deputies don't know exactly how many people will be there, but they're prepared for a sold-out crowd.
Sold-out events are a near-daily event at the venue, Rasmussen said, so the Rivera memorial isn't expected to be anything out of the ordinary in terms of handling logistics.
"We're pretty much used to dealing with this," he said.
Rivera, 43, died Dec. 9 when her rented Learjet LJ25 crashed in northern Mexico about 15 minutes after departing Monterrey, Mexico. Six other people aboard also died.
The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, fans make donations to the Jenni Rivera Love Foundation, and arrive to the memorial with a single white rose. Burial services will be private.
Rivera was known in Mexico and the United States as "La Diva de la Banda," a singer who had sold more than 15 million records of banda music and whose life, loves and losses were well known among her admirers.
Born and raised in Long Beach, Rivera was one of the biggest stars of the Mexican regional style known as grupero music, which is influenced by the norteno, cumbia and ranchero styles.
While her music drew many toward her, it was Rivera's story of humble beginnings growing up in Long Beach, as well as her Gloria Gaynor, "I Will Survive"-like attitude toward life, her three marriages, her five children, and her sense of giving back, that appealed to her fans.
The singer, businesswoman and actress had her own reality shows including "I Love Jenni" and "Jenni Rivera Presents: Chiquis and Raq-C" and her daughter's "Chiquis `n Control." She had recently signed a deal with ABC to develop a sitcom about a Latina single mom.

Campaign for affordable
South Africans
make proposal to new gov't"
Watchdog report on access to infrastructure
Information Society Watch 2008
(KAH for APCNews) – South Africa is on the cusp of major broadband
infrastructure roll-out. Seacom, a submarine cable initiative, will
link South Africa to India and Europe by mid-2009, breaking the state
monopoly and bringing down the cost of international bandwidth. And the
new government isn't ready for this, say a coalition of South Africans.
So to help, they've put together a policy framework that could ensure
that broadband develops so that all South Africans benefit and that's
been signed up to by thousands of their compatriots. More
(BroadBand4Africa) – Does broadband really make a difference to
economic growth? Are there other similar broadband campaigns elsewhere
in Africa? The South Africa broadband campaign has answers to these
questions on its campaign site www.broadband4africa.org.za. APC has
translated this essential information into French and Portuguese for
our African readers and Spanish for Latin American readers fed up of
paying over the odds for what's now the basic internet connectivity
required to access today's interactive sites. (Links to the other
languages can be found at the bottom of the page). More
(Natalia Uval for APCNews) – In San Ignacio de Moxos, an area
located in the Beni region of northern Bolivia, the only internet
connection available was an expensive and intermittent telephone
connection. Since March 2006, thanks to the local campesino centre and
wireless internet, the main institutions in the area have been
interconnected, so that the inhabitants can access the internet at a
quarter of the price it used to cost them, connecting them to each
other, the rest of the nation and the world. More
(KAH for APCNews) – APC member, Fantsuam Foundation established the
first rural community wireless internet service provider (ISP) in
Nigeria in 2006. On Tuesday April 21 the ISP took a huge blow as the
central communication tower was destroyed in a storm. Several buildings
including the old network operation centre, a Cisco Laboratory and a
neighboring building were seriously damaged. No people were hurt. This
is the second major natural disaster that Fantsuam has suffered in a
few months. In August 2008, a lighting strike destroyed a large part of
their power and wireless infrastructure. APC is waiting for news of how
you can help Fantsuam rebuild. For now visit the IT46 site for more

Love macaroni and cheese? You're not alone. It's a favorite in households across the country. But is this kid-friendly food nutritious? Unfortunately, it is high in calories, high in fat and very high in sodium. But some brands are better than others. And there are ways to lower calories in macaroni and cheese and make it more healthy.

*Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

The Kraft Macaroni and Cheese nutrition facts listed on this label are for a single serving of the blue box mix. It does not include the ingredients (milk and butter) that you need to add to make the dish.

Instructions on the Kraft box indicate that should add four tablespoons of butter or margarine and one-quarter cup of milk to blend your mac and cheese. To get the total number of calories in macaroni and cheese add the following.

If you make your mac and cheese with four tablespoons of butter and one-quarter cup of whole milk add 445 calories and 48 grams of fat and 30 grams of saturated fat

If you make your mac and cheese with four tablespoons of margarine and one-quarter cup of whole milk add 444 calories and 48 grams of fat and 10 grams of saturated fat

If you make your mac and cheese with four tablespoons of butter and one-quarter cup of 2 percent milk add 437 calories and 47 grams of fat and 30 grams of saturated fat

If you make your mac and cheese with four tablespoons of butter and one-quarter cup of skim milk add 428 calories and 46 grams of fat and 29 grams of saturated fat

What about other brands of macaroni and cheese? These are the calorie and nutrition facts for other popular brands according to USDA data.

A single serving of Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese (one fifth of the the family size container) provides 350 calories, 17 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 34 grams of carbohydrate, 15 grams of protein, 2 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar and 920 grams of sodium.

A single serving of Lean Cuisine Macaroni and Cheese provides 300 calories, 6 grams of fat, 48 grams of carbohydrate, 13 grams of protein, 2 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar and 560 milligrams of sodium.

A single serving of Amy's Organic Foods Macaroni and Cheese (frozen) provides 400 calories, 16 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 16 grams of protein, 47 grams of carbohydrate, 3 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugar and 640 milligrams of sodium.

A single serving of Velveeta Shells and Cheese provides 360 calories, 12 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 49 grams of carbohydrate, 13 grams of protein, 2 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar and 870 milligrams of sodium.

And what if you make your own macaroni and cheese at home? The calories and nutrition will vary based on your ingredients, but one cup of a typical homemade macaroni and cheese recipe would provide 492 calories, 22 grams of fat, 13 grams of saturated fat, 19 grams of protein, 54 grams of carbohydrate, 3 grams of fiber, and 909 milligrams of sodium.

So which brand is best? All of them are high in calories, sodium and fat. And most of them provide artificial ingredients, but the Lean Cuisine Macaroni and Cheese will do the least damage to your waistline.

Is Macaroni and Cheese Healthy?

There are a few things you should consider before adding macaroni and cheese to your meal plan. This food is very high in calories and is not likely to help you to maintain your weight or lose weight unless you really watch your portion size.

While most varieties provide plenty of carbohydrate, most recipes and pre-packaged varieties use enriched pasta, not whole wheat pasta. So you're not getting a lot of dietary fiber when you consume the food. Fiber provides several health benefits and helps dieters curb hunger.

In addition, macaroni and cheese is very high in sodium. Even the kind you make at home provides almost half of the recommended daily intake of sodium. So when you add just a single serving of this food to your daily diet, you're likely to consume too much sodium for the day.

Lastly, macaroni and cheese is a food that we often overeat. The popular blue box is supposed to provide 2.5 servings. But many people eat the entire box as a meal. If you consume an entire box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (prepared with margarine and 2 percent milk), you'll consume 875 calories, 32.5 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat and 25 grams of protein. You'll also consume over 1800 milligrams of sodium.

Healthier Ways to Prepare Macaroni & Cheese

Even though the homemade version of macaroni and cheese isn't the healthiest meal, you'll get the benefit of better nutrition if you make your own. Why? Because many of the manufactured brands use powdered cheese and other artificial ingredients that don't provide the benefits that real ingredients provide.

So how do you lighten up your favorite recipe? One way to adjust any macaroni and cheese recipe for better health is to use whole grain pasta. It won't lower the calorie count, but you'll get a dose of fiber that's good for your diet. And whether you make your own at home or buy the boxed variety, using skim or 2 percent milk will decrease both fat and calories.

You can also use one of these fun recipes to enjoy macaroni and cheese with fewer calories and less fat.

Personal jurisdiction is the power of a court over the parties in the case. Before a court can exercise power over a party, the constitution requires that the party have certain minimum contacts with the forum in which the court sits. International Shoe v Washington, 326 US 310 (1945). Personal jurisdiction is generally waiveable, so if a party appears in a court without objecting to the court's lack of jurisdiction over it, that objection is forfeited.

In late 2010, Amazon delivered a big lump of coal to its offline competitors in the form of its Price Check app. Smartphones had already started to change the e-commerce equation by enabling shoppers to bring the means of buying online straight into a traditional store. But Price Check burned away the awkwardness of tapping out the names of individual items into tiny search boxes by building a barcode scanner into the app. With one tap, the (often lower) Amazon price for the item in front of you materialized. A few more taps, and that item was on the way to your house, to which you returned without buying a thing from the store. Showrooming became a no-brainer.
That year, Price Check was only on iPhone in time for Black Friday. Then last year, it came to Android the most popular smartphone operating system and Black Friday mobile sales spiraled upward. This year will likely see the trend continue now that even brick and mortar retailers reluctantly acknowledge showrooming has become a standard practice thanks to the smartphone.
"People are basically using it as a price-transparency device," says Scot Wingo, CEO of e-commerce software maker ChannelAdvisor.
But showrooming isn't the only thing going on. Smartphones have tunneled their way into nearly every dimension of daily life, a reality some of the biggest forces in retail seem to be confronting head-on this holiday season. Whether online or off, companies are recognizing that people will use their phones to shop. In the run-up to this Black Friday, many of the biggest names in shopping have rolled out new apps or updates that acknowledge the new reality of anytime, anywhere retail a reality in which getting someone to tap an app on Black Friday is at least as important as getting them through the door.
Above: Google
For Google Maps, the final frontier isn't space or the South Pole, but the great indoors. The company that has mapped most of the known world visible from streets and roads has started moving inside, including here at WIRED. But most of Google's new initiatives have a business as well as a gee-whiz angle, and indoor maps are no exception. For the holidays, Google is promoting its indoor floor plans of major retailers as the secret to a friction-free Black Friday. Layouts of shopping destinations like the Mall of America in Minnesota and Macy's in New York are included in Google Maps for Android; Google promises the app will guide you through the retail chaos via the familiar pulsing blue dot to locate you in the store.
This year, Target's app aims to solve a particularly sticky problem for parents: how to shop for your kids while you have them in tow. Instead of parking them in front of the wall of TVs while you race to the toy aisle, you can scan QR codes next to the 20 most popular toys, pay on your phone, and have them shipped for free.
Target also says through December 16 it will match the prices of Amazon.com, Walmart.com, BestBuy.com, and Toysrus.com, among others one way to turn Price Check against Amazon. At the same time, another perk could backfire on Target itself: The retailer is offering free WiFi at all its stores to make ordering from Target.com easier, which, of course, makes ordering online from anyone else easier too.

Temperatures are likely to be close to normal at first, but may become generally warm, perhaps locally very warm for a time during mid June. By the latter part of the month, there is a possibility of more unsettled conditions developing once more, with spells of rain at times, and temperatures returning closer to average.

Locals scramble for last-minute gifts
AMMON, Idaho - Eastern Idahoans scrambled to get last-minute gifts on Christmas Eve. Department stores in Ammon were packed with people trying to fill those holiday wish lists.
"For my mom I'll probably get her some earrings or some lotion or some little things that she likes," said shopper Madelyn Clark.
"I bought my mom two blankets and I sewed them and put them together. I am really excited to give that to her," said shopper Kelsey Hanks.
Even though shoppers let some time slip away, people are in store for some great last minute bargains.
"Target is our first stop. I actually work here so I get a nice discount so that is kind of a plus," said Lexie Clark.
Target and Kmart are just a few of the places staying open until 10 p.m. Tuesday.
The two department stores are where we found some procrastinators in need of gifts.
"Life is just so busy, I haven't had anytime to go shopping," said Lexie Clark.
"I got a lot of shopping done fairly early but when you get everything put together you figure out who you missed out so you got to run out and get the last-minute gifts and hope that the stuff is there," said Eric Lage.
"I just took the money that I earned and bought some gifts for my parents and I feel pretty good about that," said Noah Hanks.
The National Retail Federation estimates $602 billion will be spent this holiday season. That's almost a 4 percent increase from last year. The shopping season was short this year too, because Thanksgiving was the last week of November and Christmas is the fourth Wednesday of December.
The five busiest shopping days are from Dec. 20-24.

Alarm Companies to Pay ADT Nearly $4M for Deceptive Sales Practices
Several alarm companies have settled lawsuits with ADT in response to claims that the firms misled consumers to believe the companies were affiliated with ADT.
October 9, 2013
BOCA RATON, Fla. — Several alarm companies have settled lawsuits with ADT in response to claims that the firms misled consumers to believe the companies were affiliated with ADT.
ADT filed a motion for contempt against West Palm Beach, Fla.-based Security Networks and its Orem, Utah-based affiliate Vision Security after learning about additional claims of deceptive sales practices, despite a previous preliminary injunction against the company banning such practices.
The companies have agreed to pay ADT $2.2 million in damages. Additionally, Vision Security, which is also being sued by Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine for deceiving consumers, agreed to a permanent injunction, prohibiting it from using deceptive and misleading sales practices when dealing with customers.
"ADT pursued these actions to help give consumers in the electronic security and automation market clarity on the products and services they choose to help protect their families, homes and businesses," says David Bleisch, chief legal officer at ADT. "Maintaining the trusted reputation of the electronic security industry begins with companies behaving ethically."
Separately, ADT settled its lawsuit against Los Angeles-based Security One, requiring it to pay $1.5 million in damages for telling customers that their alarm systems required upgrading. Security One also consented to a permanent injunction, banning the company from using such practices.
"We will pursue additional lawsuits against other companies that misrepresent ADT or its services to consumers," says Hannah Lim, chief litigation counsel at ADT.

Around 9 pm, 17 cast members gathered in front of their Prospect Street rehearsal space. Their plan: board a northbound car at Central Square, en masse, sing a song on it, get off at Davis, sing another song on the way back to Central, disembark.
"This is my first flash mob," said director Jeffrey Mosser. He planned to stage a number of surprise public-transportation performances to coincide with the show's Thursday opening. After a discussion of logistics and a group huddle, the cast descended the stairs toward the Red Line.
"I'm excited!" said Melissa Carubia, who wrote the show's music. T follows three disgruntled twenty-somethings who find a mysterious map that leads them on a vision quest filled with self-discovery and mythic beings — like Charlie, trapped underground for eternity because he could not afford the nickel fare. "It's a classic Wizard of Oz story," Carubia said.
Once they reached the turnstiles, the cast's tension became palpable. Several cried out, "Oh, God," as the train approached. When the doors opened, they hurried aboard. After a few nervous moments, Carubia produced a small speaker and the cast erupted into the show's opening ensemble number, "The T Within":
You've been blaming every problem you have on the T / Searching, waiting, cursing, chasing all around this fair city / Getting in our own way's the sin / If you must blame, blame it on the T within.
The commuters listened, rapt and a little scared. A young woman anxiously pulled on her braid. A middle-aged business man looked horrified. As the singers exchanged a stage kiss, a bespectacled fellow wearing a leather jacket blushed and took a picture with his iPhone. The number wrapped to hearty applause.
"That was awesome!" said the man with the glasses, identifying himself only as Amadeo. "There were so many of them!"
On the way back, the cast sang "The Bro Song," a number about douchebags. In the middle, two drunk Bruins fans in hockey jerseys boarded the train.
"Some call us frat boys, some call us yah dudes / Some call us Massholes and some just say 'Douche!' " sang the cast, in a style best described as "German beer hall." When it was over, the Bruins fans whistled through their teeth.
"Go Bruins!" said the actors, exiting the train.
"Go flash mob!" said the dudes.

I "edited" my first post, and was surprised that I needed to state the justification for doing so. Not only that, but it was then posted on the forum for all to see as to why. I did it for "spelling", as I usually find simple blounders in my typing skills, rather than my ignorance for spelling. And it seems no matter how many times I proofread, I usually find one sneaky typo after I post.
I could care less for anyone to see that I made a correction or edit for spelling. But I am curious to ask why it needed to be posted as information for all beesource members to see. Is it that important? Whats the reasoning? And are there going to some "edit police" to see if it was spelling, or even the occassional "on second thought, maybe I should rephrase that to not be a heard headed fool" kind of changes that people have?
Other than that, I like the new forum, except for booting me off if I leave the computor for a few minutes. And it asks me "remember me", but no matter what you do (check or leave unchecked), I have to log in the password everytime anyways. Are these small things that are still being worked out, or is this the way its suppose to be?
Nice job Barry.

Town Square
FoPAL board member unfairly attacks Palo Alto Public Library
Original post made by Sanford Forte, Evergreen Park, on Jul 10, 2006
It should be clear from posts placed on another thread what level of operational interference has been visited on the Palo Alto Public Library by some FoPAL board members.
I am starting a new thread because Bob Moss, a FoPAL board member, and initiator of the other library thread on this forum cleverly - and disingenuously - entitled his post as follows: "city fails to spend donated money for libraries".
The title of that post is midleading on its face, and leads all who go to Palo Alto Online's forum to immediately see a thread that places the Palo Alto Public Library in a defensive position with insinuations, falsehoods and imagined failings of our public library.
In fact, Mr. Moss - again, a board member of FoPAL - continues - as he has in past months - to attempt a verbal assault on our Public Library that is unconscionable.
What I find even more surprising is that many of Mr. Moss fellow board memnbers remain silent in this foorum as he continues to imply that Palo Alto's library staff is incompetent; that it doesn't know what it's doing; that it misuses or inefficiently spends donated funds, and so on.
It's time that FoPAL members and donors put a stop to this outrage, and demand that a new board be put in place at FoPAL, Clearly, the current board has not managed to keep its own house in order, or control one of its own members who continues unabated - here, at LAC meetings, and in City Council meetings, to level egregious attacks on an institution and staff that his organization is supposed to be helping.
Thus, this thread is created to make an attempt at thorwing some sunshine on the macinations of FoPAL's current dominant positions, and how those positions and/or the people responsible for them can be changed.

If you read the thread that preceded this, you will see Bob Moss responding to Mr. Forte's charges with concrete counterexamples. If these counterexamples were atypical, Mr. Forte should have been able to respond with multiple examples that back his claim, but he didn't (which implies that he couldn't). Instead, he continued to repeat his claim and add new charges.
It is unsettling that Mr. Forte would attack FOPAL based upon a misleading statement in a newspaper article (about FOPAL's financial reserves being $1.3M instead of roughly $0.3M - see Mr. Moss' explanation in the original thread). I would expect Mr. Forte - as a member of the City's Library Advisory Commission - to be doubly skeptical of such information, to have the contacts to check it, and to have the judgement to do so before making inflamatory public charges.
Mr. Forte's behavior has the hallmarks of the destructive and disingenuous negative campaigning that has come to dominate politics (such as the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" campaign in the last presidential election). The lesson from the effectiveness of these negative campaigns is that even when the target of the smear can decisively refute all the specific claims, many people continue to believe the underlying smear on the theory "Where there's smoke, there's fire." I hope that Palo Altans won't fall into this trap.

Perhaps Mr. Moran should check HIS facts before making claims like the one he makes, above. I only hope that he doesn't threaten me physically as he was accused of doing by a local contractor who didn't see things Mr. Moran's way.
Question: why are you fighting your pal, Bob Moss battles for him, Mr. Moran? Is the kitchen getting to warm for Mr. Moss? Are too many truths surfacing? That's the risk one takes when going public in a forum like this, as Mr. Moss did, with his unconscionable attack on our library.
Bob Moss is expert at quoting chapter and verse about NUMBERS; that's what he's famous for as a wannabe library director. What he usually leaves out is the BIG PICTURE.
Mr. Moss statements - even the way he titled his post on this forum - are disingenuous, and meant to attack in a way ythat proves him mright, by default. Why should I or any other Palo Altan suffer that kind of distortion. Bob Moss got called on his behavior. Maybe he'll learn a thing or two about distorting the big picture to serve his small ends.
As a member of the Library Advisory Commission, having had to sit quietly in private subsommittee sessions and watch abuse after abuse visited on Paula Simpson, the library staff, and the public - it's time to get this out in the open. I thank Mr. Moss for helping tomake that possible. (because,after all, the delays caused by the small cabal of rogue FoPAL board members is having a direct NEGATIVE effect on our library, and its staff.
About the Weekly's error - I freely retracted statements made that were based on that error, after yet ANOTHER Bob Moss fabrication about how I knew information to the contrar. Has Mr. Moss admitted his MANY errors and disingenuous charges about our library, and its staff? No.
In fact, I clearly said that quoting - and basing part of a more general argument on the Weekly's error did NOT change my opinion - or the general truth, corroborated by others, about the nature and demeanor of the regrettable and insulting tactics that FoPAL administrators - including those adminisrators at the very top - have leveled on our library, our library process, our former library director, and our citizens.
Further, Mr. Moran has some cheek in talking about public smear campaigns - especially in this context. First, he's engaging in one right now by calling my behavior into question. He has done so in another post on this forum, as he fights FoPAL board member's battles for them.
Were you at the downtown library meeting some months ago, Mr. Moran, where some few downtown community members and some few FoPAL members directly attacked Paula Simpson personally, in a way I have never witnessed before in many years of public service?
I and one other person had to stand up and insist that the personal attacks stop. I was watching the self-satisfied smirks on the faces of the small core group I'm speaking of as they leveled - or stood by and vicariously enjoyed - seeing Ms. Simpson placed on the defensive. It was an embarrassing display of poor behavior.
If that's the kind of behavior you're defending, Mr. Moran, perhaps you might rethink some of what - and who you support in Palo Alto.
All that said, it's high time that Palo Alto get some sunlight shining on this problem. I've been close to it through two years, and have myself come under disingenuous attack by this group in efforts to control what I say on the LAC, or what positions I take on the LAC.
It's high time that we had a change atthe top on the FoPAL board. Perhaps enough FoPAL members will begin to look into the abusive bahavior and tactics that their administrators are taking, and do something about it. Those loyal and contributing FoPAL members and volunteers deserve better than they're currently getting, and so does our community.

I went to a talk by Gunther Hauk in Charlottesville VA recently and was a bit surprised by some of the blanket statements that he made about modern beekeeping. One that really caught me off guard was that grafted queens are inferior and have lead to many of the problems that bees are facing. I have played around with lots of different styles of queen rearing from moving swarm cells, MDA splitter method, Alley Method, Miller method, Smith method, walk away splits, and grafting and not noticed any difference in the quality of the queens as long as the cell raising hive was strong and well fed. I prefer grafting overall. So I am perplexed how grafting could be so bad if done in the correct conditions. I can't say that I buy his explanation.
Here is a quote from his blog:
"In case of the honeybees: they have a weakened immune system due to all the poisons in nature, the reduced diversity of food supply and, of course, all the nasty things we have invented to get more honey. The most serious impact on the colony's health is the way queens are bred commercially from worker larvae. In Rudolf Steiner's bee lectures it becomes clear that the queen is closely connected to the sun-forces due to her short gestation time (16 days). The workers have fallen out of that sun-influence to some degree; the drones are fully earthly beings (hey, they are males!). By breeding queens from worker larvae over 100 years, we have reduced this pure 'sun-being' to have more and more earthly qualities. The manipulated queen has a lowered (spiritual) light-emittence which negatively influences the health and vitality of the entire colony. Therefore these parasitic forces of darkness have better access to the bees. Varroa mites, tracheal mites, small African hive beetle, and now flies!? "

The Fire Chief's Explanation
In South Los Angeles, a 4-plex was destroyed by a fire.
http://webmail.tampabay.rr.com/do/ma...23907&part=2.2A Nigerian family of six con artists lived on the first floor, and all six died in the fire..An Islamic group of seven welfare cheats, all illegally in the country from Kenya, lived on the second floor, and they, too, all perished in the fire.6 LA, Hispanic, Gang Banger, ex-cons, lived on the 3rd floor and they, too, died.A lone, white couple lived on the top floor. The couple survived the fire.
Jesse Jackson , John Burris and Al Sharpton were furious. They flew into LA and met with the fire chief, on camera.
They loudly demanded to know why the Blacks, Black Muslims and Hispanics all died in the fire and only the white couple lived?
The fire chief said, "They were at work."

2015 is now just hours away but before we move into the new year, it is time to look back over the 5 most viewed stories on rushsoccer.com from the 2014 year. Happy 2015 everyone!
To recap our countdown to this point:
#5 - 2 Rush Players Head to First National Camp of 2014

The 2013/14 Rush Select program has seen record nominations and opportunities for the best players in the Rush Nation. There were close to 700 players nominated for the ten age groups who are all in the running for some of the best opportunities available for youth soccer players in the US. We have continued with our ID camps at the youngest two age groups to enable the coaching staff to nail down the top players in each age group. This is assisted by the Rush Fest which is now building to a size that many of our top U12 players can be seen by the Select Coaching Staff at this pre-select event.
In addition to the Presidents Day Tournament, Open Cup and Surf cup that have been regular events over the past few years, players from this year's pool have the opportunity to travel to Real Madrid in Spain, Atlanta in Italy and Ajax in Holland, which will include visits and training at the professional clubs and the National training centers of those countries.
Domestically we have opened up the tournaments to the Desert Classic to give more of our younger players the opportunity and the Disney Cup to give our top High School players that are not playing US Developmental Academy to be seen at one of the best Showcases in the Nation.

Seems as though all the other teams in our division are making changes and trying to improve !!!!!!
Beagles , get rid of whole coaching staff . Even made changes during season to try to get better. I personally , am very glad to see Reid out of NFC.
Cowgirls, get rid of Ryan . I thought he did a good job with their defense .I loved is "agressive "scheme . Also his "Firey attitude on sidelines .
Redskins , they made "PLAYOFFS". So they hit their goal for year . No changes needed .
GIANTS , fall apart final weeks off season , no playoffs . Ranking in defense was worst than Beagles and Cowgirls . You watch Fewell on sidelines , he looks confused . when there is a coverage beak-down , and he is talking to players who made mistake , he is smiling or looks as confused as the player. NO FIRE at all . Our offense has been the same for ten years . Hardly any changes in play calling . I can watch the game and know what plays will be called. If I can do it , don't you think the other team, who studies game films , know what is coming . How many times have we seen , Giants ball on the 8 yard line, third and goal . What play does Kildrive call ? Almost always fade to wide receiver in left end zone.
Changes are needed in our coaching staff !!!! Even our head coach , has no idea why we always have a "BAD " second half of season. Do I need to make "PLAYOFFS" every year . No !!!! But with the talent on this team , we should be in every game and "NOT" Blown off the field as we were in those last few weeks !!!!

The road to Kas from Antalya is a black ribbon of new
We got a glimpse of what Kas would be from several miles
away on the coastal road, which winds around the mountainside before descending
towards this idyllic little village.
which is filled with restaurants, every road rises in the steep ascent of pastel colored villas, newly built for wealthy Brits and Germans. There is also a small square for the locals centered around a fountain that hosts its
disproportionate number of barber shops. The haircuts on the young men down here are incredible works of gravity defying sculpture.
Historically Kas was one of the first resort towns discovered by sun chasers for development on the Turquoise
Riviera. Fortunately the focus shifted further west (closer to the airport) and Kas was left behind with most of its original charm and beauty in tact
Our hotel room at the Sarduyna Hotel has a balcony and a beautiful view of the sea framed on one side by bougainvillea vines that climb the fa�ade of the hotel. It is clean, and comfortable with ample hot water. Low Season price, 35 US. I think, once again, that D and I are the only guests here. There is not a lot to do in Kas but eat, drink and marvel at the color of the sea without renting motorbike, bicycles or taking a guided tour to the nearby historical sites. Denis and I settled on an after noon, self guided walking tour to the couple of Lydian Tombs high on the hillside of town that date from the 3rd century BC. Of course we got lost. And of course, that meant an hour detour up, then down a steep mountain only to find that we could have arrived at the tombs, unwinded and dry had the maps been better. Maybe it was the map reader(s)...
Our first night in Kas we headed to on of Lonely Planets suggestions for dinner; Bu Lokma. It is a charming family run restaurant, famous for its Mama's Pastry which turned out to be a big deep fried burrito-like affaire stuffed with chicken, lamb, rice and cheese. The owner's daughter proudly told us it was her mother's invention. I wanted to tell here about Mexico but held my tongue.
Lunch the next day was a simple meal of salad, lentil soup and big, rubbery rings of fried calamari at the Akdeniz Restaurant (Seaside Restaurant) which got our business mostly out of pity. It's interesting to note that almost all the restaurants, cafes and bars offer the same menu at virtually the same prices. They are all in a row or facing each other yet some are busy and others are empty. The owner of the Akdeniz seemed forlorn just yards away from Caf� Baba Noel which was buzzing with customers. We wouldn't find out until the next morning when we went searching for a non-Turkish breakfast that Caf� Baba Noel is just a better restaurant particularly if your feeling a bit homesick or tired of THE TURKISH BREAFAST. Maybe the German and British expats who while their winters away in Kas know this already.
I think Denis is working on a Food Edition so I'll save my comments on Turkish Cusine until then...
And so, we finished our time in Kas and will move on Patarra tomorrow morning
