Dating by the Book: Why Men Should Stop Using the 3 Day Rule.
July 30, 2015 by Staff
Filed under News, Opinion, Tech/Internet, Weekly Columns
(ThyBlackMan.com) In the movie, Swingers, characters wax poetic about how long they wait to call after getting a girl's number. Those most-successful with the ladies reveal they wait about six days, theorizing it's long enough as not to seem desperate while mysterious, yet it's short enough to still stay on a girl's radar. The three-day rule is another unfound truth about dating and giving a call, yet today's dating experts disagree, citing a number of reasons for its association to a lack of romantic logic.
Stop Playing Games
Of course, you have to be playful but most women dislike men who play games. Actually, women respect a man who is confident enough to face the truth and speak his mind. Waiting on purpose is playing games, which is not ethical nor proves to be more successful in landing a date or a long-term mate versus contacting a girl immediately.
Don't Be Too Late
Be realistic; if she caught your eye, it's likely she can be interesting to others. If you wait too long you may lose out to another guy who was brave enough to call her the next day. If she finds you interesting, your decision to play it cool and wait can backfire. This is especially true considering the pace of the digital age. How many guys could potentially send a Facebook message, tweet to her, or find her via hook up apps on an average day?
Be a Man of Action
What would happen if you sat around waiting to reply to a job posting? Or, what would happen if you waited to cross the road without taking action? You would gain zero ground, so waiting to contact a girl is a similar fault. You're wasting your own time by waiting to contact her when you should be taking action and letting the cards fall as they may. Be a man of action rather than paralyzed by thought and inaction. She's either going to reciprocate your interest or reject your advances; waiting for it to happen won't change the outcome.
Be Confident About Your Feelings
If you're interested in her, then be confident enough to reveal this truth. Just because you call her soon after getting her number does not make her assume you're thinking about marriage (Even if you have a 'good' feeling about her, definitely keep that to yourself!). There's something to admire about a man who is not afraid of his true feelings and can admit that he's interested. It shows you're a man and 'own' the situation. However, waiting and being reluctant is a sign of a lack of confidence and a person who thinks a situation is beyond their control.
Give a Text and Not a Phone Call
Once upon a time, there was no alternative but to phone a girl after getting her number, but today you can send a text, which is a bit less nerve wracking. If you are a bit nervous, you get the best of both worlds by sending a text; you're alerting her of your interest while not seeming too nervous or excited. Plus, texting allows you to pick up on whether there is a mutual initial interest aside from giving you her number, which brings us to the next tip about modern dating.
Realize Getting Her Number is Not Enough
What if she gave a false number because she felt bad for you or she just wanted to escape the encounter? Without making a quick subsequent effort, you'll feel even more like a buffoon by sitting on what was a false number the entire time. Moreover, giving your number is not a blatant admission of interest. Some give their number to a lot of people only to follow up with a few if any. Getting her number if not enough; you have to follow up to know if she is actually interested in taking things further.
Don't Be Obvious
Women are clever and usually emotionally intelligent, meaning they probably know whether you seemed interested or not. So, don't be obvious in waiting three days when the "three-day rule" is something we all know about. You'll wind up looking like a rookie and disingenuous. She could be a couple steps ahead and already have figured you would call, maybe even assuming you'll wait the conventional "three days" to do it. So throw her a curve and don't wait. Be straightforward and be yourself. She's eventually going to have to learn to like the real you or decide she's not that interested, so don't put off the inevitable.

Contractor draws praise for city pothole repairs
Colorado Springs hired local Trax Construction for $2 million project
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - City officials said Wednesday that a local contractor has erased their doubts about being able to handle the job of supplementing pothole repair work.
In late May, Trax Construction was the lone bidder to use $2 million in a special appropriation from the City Council to fill potholes in what Mayor Steve Bach described as "an emergency situation."
Corey Farkas, manager of the city's Streets Division, said city officials wanted to be certain that Trax could handle the job along with its regular business. To that end, the city withheld $500,000 of the money until it was satisfied Trax could handle the project.
"I'm surprised we didn't have more bidders," Farkas said. "But when we contacted other contractors we've worked with before, we found that they already were booked with projects for the summer. Trax was the only one that came forward. They've done a great job."
Farkas said Trax will get the rest of the money soon and hopes its share of the work will be finished by the end of September.
Trax has three crews working with eight city crews on potholes. Farkas said crews are slowly catching up on their backlog, but public requests for repairs have decreased recently and the additional manpower allows potholes to be filled twice as quickly.
Farkas said Trax has spent slightly more than 40 percent of the original money it received.

KiwiSaver turns four tomorrow and despite the Government's tinkering in the last Budget, the voluntary scheme remains a popular vehicle for people to save for their retirement.
The scheme has gone from zero four years ago to more than 1.7 million members who have amassed about $8 billion. The Government estimates that KiwiSaver will grow in value to around $25 billion by 2015 and to $60 billion in 10 years.
Looking ahead, bankers expect KiwiSaver funds to invest in partially state-owned assets if plans to partly privatise them go ahead.
While the scheme remains voluntary, it is only a matter of time before compulsion, along the lines of the Australian model, is up for discussion, they say.
Under changes to the system outlined in the May Budget, the Government cut the KiwiSaver tax credit, worth about $20 a week, and signalled that employee and employer contributions would increase from 2 per cent to 3 per cent from April 1, 2013.
Mark FitzGerald, head of wealth at Westpac, said it was too early to assess the impact of the Budget changes. He said signups to Westpac KiwiSaver were running at about 1600 a week just before the Budget, then went to 1700 just after the Budget, only to fall back to 1300 a week.
"I don't know whether that is a systemic issue or not, it's too early to tell, but the onus should be on the industry to continue to explain that this still remains a great vehicle for New Zealanders to save for their retirement," FitzGerald said in an interview.
"There have been a lot of changes that have been made to KiwiSaver, but fundamentally it is a great public/private sector partnership to help address one of the key imbalances that we have in the economy, and that is the lack of a savings culture."
While KiwiSaver has been an obvious boon for the investment industry, will ongoing political tinkering diminish the KiwiSaver brand?
"I think that is a valid concern but I think fundamentally, at the political level, there is real buy-in to the fact that we do have a savings imbalance and that KiwiSaver is a catalyst that will change that imbalance and create more of a savings and ownership society than we have had in the past," he said.
David Boyle, general manager funds management at OnePath, said it was too early to tell whether the Budget had had an impact.
"But it is pretty clear that KiwiSaver is still a pretty good option for those willing to save for their retirement."
He said one of the main issues facing KiwiSaver was the limited size of the New Zealand capital market.

Garden Outdoor Fountains
Q: How do the garden fountains ship?
A: The larger fountains ship via LTL Freight. The shipping company will call you to set up an appointment for delivery. You will also receive instructions on how to receive and inspect your fountain upon delivery.
Q: What do I do if my fountain arrives damaged?
A: You will want to inspect your fountain immediately upon delivery while the driver is still there. Please contact customer service immediately and you will want to notate any damage on the bill of lading before signing and accepting the shipment.
Q: Can I receive physical color samples before I select a final color for my fountain?
A: Yes we would be happy to send you physical color samples. Please contact customer service for more information and to place an order.
Q: What will I do with my fountain in the winter?
A: Instructions will be included with your fountain on how to winterize it.
Garden outdoor fountains make up one of our most diverse categories here at Soothing Walls. These are beneficial pieces of art that can be placed anywhere. True to the name, they are perfect to place in a garden of any size to make it a bit more magical. However, these pieces are not reserved exclusively for these locations. You can easily place garden water features on your deck, patio, or covered porch, or create a focal point in your front yard.
When placed in your outdoor living space the sound and visual appeal of cascading water will create a soothing environment. You may find yourself using your deck or patio a little more often simply because it is effortless to relax there when you are in the presence of such calming and beautiful art. Plus, it will act as a sound barrier so you might not be so bothered anymore by those noisy neighbors.
When garden outdoor water features are positioned in an actual garden or large flower bed they offer even more benefits. In addition to the benefits already mentioned, they are also very good for the appearance and success of your flowers and plants. On a hot day, the surrounding foliage will greatly appreciate the small amount of water being released into the air as they operate. Nearby flowers and leaves will happily absorb that moisture. Also, you won't have any problem inviting bird, butterflies, and other pollinators to your garden. They will want to use this water source to drink and bathe, so clean it regularly and use a fountain treatment product to keep the water cleaner for a longer time. If you do hope that birds flock here frequently, consider one of the more shallow options, such as our Portwenn Fountain. If you do choose a deeper variety, consider placing one or two large rocks gently inside so the birds have a place to perch.
Narrowing down your choices to one will probably be a challenge. Fortunately, you can add as many of these functional art pieces to your landscaping as you would like. If you are shopping for a specific flowerbed or garden, consider the plants that grow there. For shrubs and wildflowers, a taller variety would be ideal. However, you don't want to place a tall style in a bed with ground cover and low growing flowers or it will look misplaced. A style that is lower to the ground would create a more stunning visual display. The Turtle Pond Outdoor Water Fountain is a good example of one that would create the right balance.

Boss rejected Madine chance
Reporter: Matthew Chambers
Date online: 25 April 2014
CARLISLE hot-shot Gary Madine could have been lining up for Athletic tomorrow — but Lee Johnson turned down the chance to bring the striker to Oldham.
The survival hopes of the Cumbrians rest on gaining three points at Brunton Park in the club's final home match of the campaign.
It is the swansong for the on-loan Sheffield Wednesday man, whose release from jail on license comes with a 7pm curfew, ruling him out of away games at Crawley and Wolves next week.
Johnson said the curfew conditions helped persuade him not to move for Madine as the loan window shut last month.
"We spoke about him," Johnson told the Chronicle. "We spoke to the player and to Sheffield Wednesday. We just felt that you need to be sure, if you bring someone in, that they are going to be 100 per cent fit and focused. He has done well for them, but you see the issues and it is pretty much why we decided to go with what we've got."
Athletic have a poor record — one win in the last dozen visits — against tomorrow's opponents Carlisle.
"You play in the moment, but history gives you a guide to what can go on, so it is a good thing for the lads to try to get a win and improve that record," said Johnson.
Gary Harkins, who appeared tired against Coventry, may be rested with James Dayton in from the start on the left flank.
glad we never took him on.
WHAT??? Jail!, curfew! Do we want this type of person, regardless of whether he is a good player or not. What ever happened to honesty, honour, integrity, morals, scruples and that funny thing called Right!!!
I still believe taking Lee Hughes lost us 500 fans, don't want another disgrace.
^^^ No it didn't^^^

Essentially a dog for a dog.
This is a discussion on Decisions, decisions: Charter Arms Undercover for S&W Sigma? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; i've recently decided to part ways with my Sigma. not for any negative reasons; it was my first handgun, and it was a fine handgun, ...
i've recently decided to part ways with my Sigma. not for any negative reasons; it was my first handgun, and it was a fine handgun, but i've become a better shooter than the gun is, and it's not like it's going to up in value over time.
i've been offered a trade: a Charter Arms Undercover. i've been wanting my very own snubbie for awhile now, because everyone should own at least one. would this be a fair trade? i don't now much about them, other than the usual internet ramblings: "they suck!" "they're good!" "they'll give you cooties!" "chuck norris owns one!"
you get the idea.
would it be a fair trade, or should i just sell the Sigma for $200?
IMHO never sell your first gun. Mine was a 40VE and one that still does HD duty on my night stand and nice to have a full capacity gun.
Save up money for a Taurus, Ruger or Smith for a snubby. You will be glad you did.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
okay....how about a Taurus 85?
I have a Taurus model 85 UL that I really like.
Here we go again on the sigma ! This was my first handgun I bought in 2000.
I have shot several thousand rounds of 9mm rounds of wolf to white box
with no failures,that's right to problems.To often the masses get caught up reading what gun rags write about a certain product.It's true some of the early ones had issues.Now charter house made decent revolver back in the 70's
as many Leo's would use them as back up pieces.Where this company got into
trouble is they have been sold I think three time in 30 years ,now company that makes Hi point arms owns them so we'll see how they'll do.I have a bulldog 44spl that's a nice ccw it weighs 21 oz empty.Are they made to shoot
hot loads all the time no.They are made to shoot as designed qualify twice a year and practice.
If you can sell the Sigma at a fair price that is what I would do. I don't know what a fair price is for it.
But in any event I would not go for the Charter Arms. It is so easy to rationalize how the less expensive gun will be OK until... But in time almost all of us desire a better one, and like holsters we spend more than if we had started with a good one at first.
I have had Taurus revolvers, and the results were mixed.
I would recommend you save until you can get either a S&W or a Ruger.

Sony is no copycat. Its Tablet S, revealed at IFA today, shows true innovation in hardware design. It's slightly smaller than the iPad, but it feels completely different to hold, with its folded-magazine "wraparound" design. It has high-tech features that set it apart from the iPad and other Android Honeycomb tablets, including DLNA support, an IR blaster, and what Sony calls "quick view/quick touch," which makes the screen and Web browser extremely responsive and fast-loading.
A bigger step for Sony is what comes on the device. The Tablet S comes preloaded with access to Sony Entertainment Network, including a six-month free subscription to its Music Unlimited service, plus two free PlayStation 1 games—finally, leveraging assets from across different business units, a huge step for Sony. Sony has also negotiated deals for an exclusive window to several new Android tablet apps, including Crackle and Foursquare, which will be preloaded on the device. These are all important product innovations, which combined with Sony's brand should put Sony's product ahead of many Android competitors in consumers' minds.

We've been beating the Amazon tablet drum for a while—in fact, as early as April 2010, my colleague James McQuivey wrote that Amazon's product strategists should "go head to head" with Apple and create its own tablet. Now, on the cusp of Amazon actually doing so (perhaps as early as October), we're turning up the volume with a new report explaining exactly how, and why, Amazon will disrupt the tablet market.
This report has been in the works for months. We held off publishing it last week out of respect for Steve Jobs, and we have great admiration for his inventions and influence on our culture.
Even though Amazon taking on Apple is a bit like David taking on Goliath (compare the market cap, profits, and cash position of the two companies), Amazon's willingness to sell hardware at a loss combined with the strength of its brand, content, cloud infrastructure, and commerce assets makes it the only credible iPad competitor in the market. If Amazon launches a tablet at a sub-$300 price point — assuming it has enough supply to meet demand — we see Amazon selling 3-5 million tablets in Q4 alone.
Amazon's quick ascension in the tablet market will completely disrupt the status quo. Apple will retain dominant market share, but Amazon will cause product strategists at:

No other name in technology carries as much reverence as Steve Jobs. His departure as CEO of Apple combined with HP investigating a spin-off of their PC division has a lot of companies wondering what changes are in store. A few points:
1. In the face of the major market shifts, a strong case can be made for multi-sourcing your enterprise PCs. Recent events highlight the risks that enterprises face -- risk that will be more apparent in 1-2 years. Apple's product roadmaps have already been planned for the next 15-18 months (depending on the product line), so I don't expect to see any significant downside for Apple until this current roadmap is past. But when Apple's current roadmap is refined under new leadership, we'll start to see the effects on Apple's enterprise strategy. In addition to this news, more certainty exists with HP's spinoff of their PC division, and Dell will show their hand in how they plan to move forward in the face of these developments. The landscape in 2-3 years will be drastically different. Diversifying your PC suppliers via multi-sourcing can help mitigate that risk.
Posted by JP Gownder on August 24, 2011
First off, let me say this: I hope that Steve Jobs' health improves, and that he comes out of whatever challenges he's going through in the best of health. He's an amazing, visionary leader of a dynamic company -- and he's also a person with a family. Let's all wish him well.
While famously a CEO, Steve Jobs is also, it should be known, a product strategist par excellence. He's clearly been involved, in a deep way, in the development of Apple's product ideas, product designs, business models, go-to-market strategies, and responses to competition. These are the job responsibilities of product strategists. In his (and Apple's) case, product strategy has risen to the very top of the organization.
Product strategists of two different flavors are wondering how they might be affected by his resignation as CEO (and concomitant request to become chairman):

Google sent shock waves through the mobile world this morning as it announced a planned acquisition of Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion in cash. The initial commentary has largely focused around Motorola's patent portfolio, how this will affect the other Android manufacturers, and what Google will do with the rest of Moto's hardware business which my colleague John McCarthy summed up nicely in his blog post.
So what kind of an impact does this have on infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals? For the most part, not much of one. I&O professionals are working to make their organizations platform-agnostic by deploying mobile device management (MDM) solutions. For them, Android is only one in an increasingly crowded space of platforms including iOS, Blackberry, and Windows 7 Mobile.
Still, there is one interesting implication in this deal that I&O pros should take note of — Google gets 3LM. Back in February Motorola Mobility acquired 3LM, a startup including former Google employees who worked on Android, which specializes in enterprise security and management software. Rumors had already been flying that some of the 3LM functionality like storage encryption and anti-malware would be included in the next version of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich). With 3LM now a part of Google, firms might finally management and security capabilities I&O and security pros have been asking for in Android.

An extraordinary untold chapter of cold war espionage has emerged with the revelation that secret services in the eastern bloc systematically stole the identities of orphaned and abandoned children and used them to create sophisticated aliases for their foreign agents.
The details have come to light in a German documentary that tells the tragic story of a Polish man whose identity was assumed by a spy for the Polish secret service who infiltrated Germany's civil service and remained active there for several years.
Jerzy Kaczmarek was recruited as an agent in 1977 when he was in his early twenties, and given the identity of Janusz Arnoldt.
Arnoldt had been born in 1946 to an ethnic German mother who abandoned the one year old in an orphanage after fleeing her home in Pomerania – which later became Polish – along with hundreds of thousands of other ethnic Germans.
To perfect his cover and enable him to operate in Germany, the spy Kaczmarek made an application through the Red Cross to track down "his" (Arnoldt's) birth mother, who lived in West Germany. The family welcomed the long-lost "son" with open arms, but were stricken with grief when Arnoldt's "mother", Hildegard, dropped down dead at her front door hours after seeing her supposed son in West Germany for the first time.
Helped by his new family, who took him to their hearts, Jerzy Kaczmarek went on to make a successful career for himself posing as a German bureaucrat in the northern city of Bremen's office of emigration and immigration, where he was a popular colleague, admired for the speed with which he mastered bureaucratic German. He even became a respected member of the Social Democratic party.
By day he pushed papers and oversaw the applications of ethnic Germans wishing to return to Germany; by night, he sent vital information back to his spymasters, who also gave him orders via a short-wave radio at his flat.
Slavomir Cenckiewicz, an historian who oversaw the shutting down of the Polish military secret service in the 1990s, said the work Kaczmarek carried out was hugely valuable for the entire eastern bloc secret service network. "Having a mole planted in the system was like gold dust. He was able to help with the infiltration of spies into the west, as well as observing how German authorities controlled those wishing to flee communism," he said.
But Kaczmarek's cover was spectacularly blown when the real Janusz Arnoldt applied via the German Red Cross in the mid-1980s to track down his birth mother, only to be told that the request had been lodged from eastern Europe years before and that a reunion had long since taken place.
The enquiry prompted the German authorities to confront the man posing as Arnoldt and to arrest him. After 10 months in custody and following an extensive investigation by Germany's federal public prosecutor, who discovered at his home his short-wave radio, a photographic laboratory, a briefcase with false compartments and the nutcracker in which he stored secret access codes, Kaczmarek was expelled from Germany.
In one of the legendary cold war spy swaps that took place on Glienicke Bridge near Berlin, he was exchanged for western spies on 11 February 1986.
But a heart-wrenching twist to the tale, and one which the family of the real Janusz Arnoldt has urged the Polish authorities to investigate, was Arnoldt's sudden death at the age of 38 in June 1985, three days after he had discovered that his identity had been stolen by a spy and that his mother was dead. Friends warned him to watch his back. An official protocol stated he had "probably died of a heart attack", but no autopsy was carried out.
His wife, Alicja, would like answers for a husband she said never even saw a photograph of his mother and who was in effect separated from her forever by the spy. She would also like the spy to make a personal apology.
"I really don't know if it had simply all been too much for [Janusz]: the discovery of his stolen identity, his mother's death, or if someone was behind [his death]. But it's certainly strange. He died so quickly, as did his mother, who died immediately after the other man turned up at her door," she said.
The historian Cenckiewicz is convinced that Poland's secret service would have thought the real Janusz Arnoldt knew too much.
"I have no proof, but suddenly this man was privy to the fact that the secret service practiced extraordinary operations using stolen identities," he said. "Still to this day, this game remains one of the biggest secrets of the communist secret services. So they would have felt he either had to be integrated or liquidated."
The story, which is worthy of a plot by John le Carré or Frederick Forsyth, has come to light thanks to the dogged investigative efforts of a Polish author, Rosalia Romaniec. "I was desperate to get to the heart of a story that has haunted me and my family for over three decades," she said. Janusz Arnoldt was her uncle.
The denouement of "The son who never was", which is due to be aired on German television on Saturday night, is an encounter between Romaniec and Jerzy Kaczmarek, whom she tracked down to Poznan, western Poland, where he works at the city's trade fair.
He told her on camera that he had been lured to the job by the image of glamour the secret services had afforded it. "I felt like I was in a spy film. I could work for my country at the same time as living out the fantastical dreams of a super agent, a James Bond figure … that's why I agreed to do it."
But he claimed not to have known, nor indeed to have had much interest in, the man whose identity he had assumed. "I was just told that he was very sick and it wasn't known how long he would live, so they believed he would never travel again. I had no idea that he knew about his mother, that he would go looking for her … but at the same time, I had no reason to give it much thought," he said.
He flatly denied any involvement in or foreknowledge of the deaths of Janusz and his mother.
Wladyslaw Bulhak, from the Warsaw-based Institute of National Memory, said the practice of identity theft had become official secret service policy after the relaxation of relations between Poland and Germany in 1970.
"The instruction went out from the secret service headquarters in Warsaw … to concentrate on finding people who were referred to as potential "legendisation donors" and whose identity one could copy or legendise. In particular, orphans or children who had been killed in the war," he said.
For his part, Kaczmarek said he had been well aware at the time that identity theft was commonplace and believed it continued to this day. Undercover British police were recently exposed by the Guardian as having stolen the identities of dead babies to infiltrate leftwing groups in the UK.
"In the cold war secret services adopted big-style the tactic of stealing identities of orphans for espionage, a practice which started in the Soviet Union in the 1920s," he said. "But very few cases have come to light."
Romaniec said while her investigation had brought the family some answers, it had left her feeling very uneasy about what she calls the "unknown legacy of the cold war".
"How many cases similar to this are there still in the east and the west?" she asked. "How many people are living with assumed identities, living the life of someone else?"

Anthropologist Ben Ford spoke to the California University of Pennsylvania (Gamma Chapter of Pennsylvania) Lambda Alpha National Anthropology Honor Society on May 2, 2013.
Lambda Alpha is the international honors society for students of anthropology. The name Lambda Alpha comes from the initial letters of the Greek words logos anthropou, meaning the "study of man." The society was originally founded with the purpose of encouraging scholarship and research in anthropology. Lambda Alpha has grown to include more than 170 chapters.
Ford delivered the evening's keynote lecture and discussed his ongoing work searching for War of 1812 shipwrecks in Lake Ontario.
During the War of 1812, American and British shipbuilders at Sackets Harbor and Kingston produced more than 20 warships for use on Lake Ontario, some carrying more than 100 cannons. But with the end of the war, these ships no longer had a purpose. Some were sold, some were scrapped, some wrecked, and some sank at anchor. Ford's talk discussed the fates of the fleets, summarizing those that have been lost, those that have been found, and those yet to be found. He also discussed recent interdisciplinary work to identify two of them in New York's Black River Bay. The Black River Bay survey combined archaeological and geophysical techniques in an attempt to identify the remains of an armed barge and the frigate Mohawk.

Kenton embodied so much of what I value in a colleague; he was dependable; he went beyond the call of duty; and above all he was pleasant and respectful to all as he went about his work. The way he spoke moved and responded to students and staff set him apart from the ordinary. Never once in almost 20 years did I hear Kenton complain or speak ill of anyone or anything. He had that special gift of always being able to look on the bright side of things. Even when his home was seriously damaged in the hurricane when his plans for studying were put on hold and family matters worried him he still wore his boyish smile and went about his duties with all the energy and commitment that I came to admire.
Kenton it was an honour to have worked with you. Mei your family find comfort in the many memories of the time they had with you and may your soul rest in peace.
You are missed Kenton so missed.
Your smile so infectious Your willingness so undenied Your friendship knows no bound Your love undending Your rememberance will remain with me for a long time to come when I think of the words above.
R.I.P. my friend
My condolences to the family. My prayer is that God will continue to strengthen the family day by day in this time of loss.
Our Civil War which sparked in Western Kingston and Kenton's death happened almost simultaneously. Personally it was learning of Kenton's passing which became more overwhelming of the two events.
Kenton holds the distinction of being among the very few persons at work who consistently provides excellent customer service to internal customers. When you call to make a request for audio-visual support you can rely on the ...fact...that your call will be received in a welcoming way and that Kenton will ensure that the service is delivered as discussed.
Kenton struck me as a man that was himself. Happily that self was pleasant accessible and professional. Kenton was a man I was happy to "hail up" even at a distance. A well needed momentary joy and uplifting encounter at work
Kenton's passing is a loss to the force of "goodwill" desperately needed at work in Jamaica and in our world.
I hope to see him again at The Ressurection.
"Call Kenton" those were words I would often hear over the almost 9 years I have been at UTech when any audiovisual request was pending. What a pleasure it was to be provided with superior service accompanied by a warm smile & humility at its very best. Kenton you taught us what it means to serve. Mei your soul rest in peace.

Nov. 7, 2006
Birmingham, Ala. - The UAB football team was back on the practice fields on Tuesday as it continued to gear up for its nationally televised game against UTEP on Friday at Legion Field. The Blazers, who beat the Miners 35-23 in El Paso, Texas last season, will be playing their final home game of the season on Friday, with the 7 p.m. game to be aired on ESPN2.
UAB head coach Watson Brown said his team will need to show the ability to score against UTEP on Friday in order to keep up with the Miners' highly talented offense.
"They're skilled on offense," he said. "I think they had three drives that lasted three plays in the second half against Rice. They're just dangerous, you never feel comfortable against them."
One factor that could immensely aid the UAB offense is the fact that it may have all of its starters on the field for the first time since the season opener at Oklahoma on Sept. 2. Brown said at this point, the offense is looking healthy, with sophomore wide receiver Stephen Brown remaining questionable.
"This might be the first time since we played Oklahoma that we have all of our starters back on offense," Brown said. "If Stephen plays then we'll have everyone back."
In last season's victory against UTEP, senior running back Corey White gained 106 yards on the ground and scored one touchdown, while senior linebacker Mastaki Smith and defensive end Larry McSwain led the team with 11 tackles.
UAB and UTEP kickoff their Conference USA matchup at 7 p.m., and can be heard on the Blazers ISP Sports Network, beginning with the pregame show at 5:30 p.m. CST. Birmingham listeners can follow all the action on WYDE 101.1 FM, as well as WIQR 1410 AM in Montgomery. The game will also be televised nationally on ESPN2.

Positive Feedback ISSUE 66
From an Editor's Notebook: Another Update to the PFO Master List of
DSD-Capable DACs, April, 2013
Update time…again!
I am sitting here at my desk right now, writing this update while listening to a brand-new and brilliant DSD recording of Alex DeGrassi on guitar…he of wonderful Windham Hill memory…from Cookie Marenco and Blue Coast Records. Haunting and mellow stuff, extremely well rendered by the exaSound e20 DSD DAC. (See my review of that DSD DAC elsewhere in this issue.) It reminds me of why we need DSD in our listening rooms and throughout our homes: it connects us directly with the studio.
And the original mic feed remains what it has always been…my ultimate reference for the audio arts.
"Mic feeds and master tapes for the masses" is what I announced back in 1999. We are now closer to that than ever before, due to the advances that are being made in DSD right now.
Back in Issue 65 I gave our latest list for DSD-capable DACs, current as of that time. Time marches on, and there are more additions to the list. The moment has come to get this latest list to you, our readers, ASAP.
I also want to tip my hat to Michael Lavorgna of Audiostream for providing an excellent resource list for DSD lovers. I recommend it most highly, and want to point PFO readers to its latest iteration at Audiostream.com. I found some DSD DACs that I was unaware of on Michael's list…thanks, Michael!

Note that E.A.R. has announced that they will be releasing a Tim deParavicini-designed tubed DAC that will support DSD natively over USB 2.0. I am not yet aware of a definite release date for this unit, but the news is very exciting.
Also, for those looking for professional-grade A/D and D/A DSD conversion, Merging Technologies' Horus converter offers up to 48 channels of analog-to-DSD conversion, and up to 48 channels of DSD-to-analog conversion. Multi-channel is available in blocks of 8 channels. The software package for the Horus AD/DA with DSD/DXD is Pyramix 8.1.x. Serious DSD-surround enthusiasts as well as audio engineers will want to check this out; it's a very powerful option for multi-channel DSD.
We'll continue to keep you updated on DSD DACs as we become aware of them. Our readers are invited to email me of any DSD-capable DACs that they know of and do not appear on this list.
As to DSD download sites…

I went to see a podiatrist for an assessment this week. One of the tests he ran was looking at me running on a treadmill and, from behind, seeing how many toes were visible on the outside of the leg - i.e. whether my feet were aligned or splayed out.
My feet are fairly strikingly turned out when I run. This is apparently not great, but I happened across a picture of Tsegaye Kebede (winner of men's race in this years London Marathon) in a book I'm reading and noticed his feet do the same thing! Do a Google image search if you don't believe me.
I think someone should Mr Kebede he's doing it all wrong!

Diabetes Risk Linked To Melatonin Secretion During Sleep
Melatonin is a hormone that helps to control other hormones and our day-night cycle or circadian rhythm. It is made in the pineal gland in the brain and secreted into the bloodstream, peaking at night.
The up and down cycle of melatonin secretion (high at night, low during the day) is critical for a good night's sleep. When this is disrupted, we experience disturbed sleep.
First author Ciaran McMullan, a researcher in the Renal Division and Kidney Clinical Research Institute at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, says in a statement that:
"This is the first time that an independent association has been established between nocturnal melatonin secretion and type 2 diabetes risk."
He and his colleagues hope their findings will spur others to examine what factors affect our melatonin levels and how melatonin interacts with glucose metabolism and risk for diabetes.
For their study, they used data from a subset of 740 women taking part in the Nurses' Health Study, one of the largest and longest running investigations of factors that influence women's health.
370 of the women developed diabetes between 2000 and 2012, and the other 370 were matched controls who remained healthy over that period.
All the women in the subset had given urine and blood samples in 2000.
When they compared the data on the two groups, the researchers found participants with low levels of night-time secretion of melatonin had about twice the risk for developing type 2 diabetes than those whose blood samples showed they had high levels of night-time melatonin secretion.
"Women in the highest category of melatonin secretion had an estimated diabetes incidence rate of 4.27 cases/1000 person-years compared with 9.27 cases/1000 person-years in the lowest category," they write.
Even when they took into account well-known risk factors for type 2 diabetes, such as body mass index, family history for diabetes, and a range of lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, smoking and sleep duration, the team found the link with low melatonin was still significant.
In their conclusions they note:
"Lower melatonin secretion was independently associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Further research is warranted to assess if melatonin secretion is a modifiable risk factor for diabetes within the general population.
Grants from the National Institutes of Health funded the study.
Another US study published in October 2012 in the journal Sleep, suggests that the less sleep teenagers get, the higher their chance of developing insulin resistance, a metabolic condition that increases a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

... Next stop at the Master of the Nets Garden which is one of the most famous gardens in Suzhou, containing a series of halls, courtyards and gardens.
Lunch was as a muslim Chinese restaurant. Round table, lazy susan and lots of delicious food.
The afternoon turned very misty, cold and rainy for our three hour drive to Hangzhou.
Nanshan Temple and Canal Trip
We went back to Casa Zoe's for breakfast after moving from the Kempinski Hotel back to the Gran Park Hotel for work tomorrow. We then went to visit the Nanshan Temple, and walked around a market area, a bit like Confucius Temple area in Nanjing with small shops and stalls.
We then took a lovely boat trip down the Grand Canal (which we have been on in Hangzhou also), stopping off at a hand-made brick museum. Another lovely day.
Mt Lingshan Scenic Area
... far more attractions than we imagined.
We came out and the taxi drivers started haggling over prices, but then I saw the No 88 bus which I knew went back to town so we hopped on that. We went to the Blue Frog for supper and saw Maumo and Hebe, the lovely manager, and then some of the teachers from Wuxi No 1 came in: Clive, Dennis and Arun so we had a few drinks and chatted to them. A really lovely day.
... not as fancy as the one we had earlier today but it was still really good.
When we got back to the hostel, Katrin and I packed up our stuff so that we would be ready to leave in the morning, we were planning to leave at 5:30am sharp so we would have plenty of time to get to the train station to catch our 7am bullet train home. I had a really great time in Shanghai, it was a fantastic experience and the people I travelled with were so much fun! I would definitely do it all again. ...

It began slow as I endured a five hour bus ride over to El Calafate. There was a border check for both leaving Chile and entering Argentina. And, a bus load of people had to go through the border control. We probably spent 45 min at both checks combined.
Finally arriving in the city, it was surprisingly sunny and warm. In fact, I felt as if it were too hot when compared to being in Torres del Paine or Puerto Natales. I walked through the streets a bit wandering around and booked my tour to visit the Perito Moreno Glacier the next day.

ELLSWORTH KELLY Schwarz & Weissby David Rhodes
Here is a chance to walk through an entire strand of Ellsworth Kelly's long and productive career—not yet definitive, because (at 88) he is still adding to it. This is a knock-out exhibition in which, as the title makes clear, all works are in black and white. Taking self-expression out of the equation as early as possible, and acting as a conduit between material form and insight, Kelly's work displays a lack of interest in depicting himself or his emotions, in direct contrast to the over-scaled 1930s architecture of the Haus der Kunst. A Kelly exhibition was not what Mr. Hitler had in mind for such abundant space. Present are the early collages, photographs, and constructions made during Kelly's stay in France between 1949 and 1954, which exemplify the artist's method of random composition and transfer. After many years of single- and two-panel paintings, "Black Curves" (2011) brings us up to date. Isolating a particular perceptual event, Kelly gives it form, adjusting it as little as possible while rendering the source impossible to discern.
Consequently, the forms are independent of their origin, though they don't look like formal exercises either. However reduced, the reduction is not felt as being for its own sake. The paintings materialize things known but not noticed.

The scope of Target's retail breach has crept up. Actually it has nearly tripled in the number of people affected. Initial reports stated that data for 40 million consumers was compromised – nothing to sneeze at. The next big development revealed that PIN information was also lost, though Target assures that the information was encrypted. Yesterday it was reported that data was taken for up to 110 million people. That number approaches three times the number first reported and represents at least a third of the U.S. population. This is a shining example of why it is important to allow investigators to fully assess all information available to avoid publicizing premature analyses, and also highlights the importance of transparency for businesses in sharing information that impacts their consumers and the community at large.
The increased scope of the breach is a result of Target's update on the hack that includes tens of millions of customers whose names, mailing addresses, phone numbers and email addresses were lost, in addition to those whose compromised payment information was previously reported. While not as sensitive as credit card information, this is still data that could have tremendous value to the wrong people. The secondary customer information was reportedly stored separately from the previous 40 million customers' credit and debit account information, which raises the possibility of a separately hacked system.
If this is the case, the implications are huge. For weeks it has been suggested that the breach required only a simple fix once discovered: sniffing, exfiltration of data through a point of sale transmission, or something even simpler. However, if a second system was compromised, the breach becomes much more serious, as the hackers may have gained elevated control, possibly impersonating some element or engineering the hack to intercept two different levels of data. Target states that there was overlap between some of the data, which could still tie the hack to point of sale terminals. At the end of the day, we don't know all the details yet, but more clues and victims are emerging as the weeks go on.
It's time for more information
It is frustrating for many to see Target relinquishing such small amounts of information the way it is, but the company has responded responsibly in some ways, offering fraud protection and immediately communicating directly with affected customers. Meanwhile, the security community is anxious for answers about how the hack occurred: if Target's seemingly secure system was breached, other retailers and businesses are likely vulnerable. As legal liability and anticipated fines loom, Target is content to continue releasing information about the cyber attack only when absolutely necessary. After all, the investigation is ongoing.
Still, the slow drip of updates is reminiscent of the way the government responds to scandals: denials, followed by bits of information, investigations, lawyers, a little more information and maybe at some point, a definitive truth. Target's reputation has taken a considerable hit, and consumer trust has been broken. Whatever the breach incident response plan has been, the retailer should favor rapid disclosure for the good of the industry, and for the sake of rebuilding the relationship with its customers. Target president and CEO Greg Steinhafel said in a statement:
"I know that it is frustrating for our guests to learn that this information was taken and we are truly sorry they are having to endure this. I also want our guests to know that understanding and sharing the facts related to this incident is important to me and the entire Target team."
The public wants to know more. More than merely numbers affected, type of data lost and statements that the problems "have been resolved": consumers want to know how some of these technologies were deployed. Was there a leak in the system? Who was responsible? Is the hardware to blame? With the personal security of 110 million at stake, an apology and complimentary credit monitoring are a good start, but it's just not enough. It's not always about mitigating the losses.
Neiman Marcus also breached – is it connected?
In the meantime, it was reported on Brian Krebs' security blog that upscale retailer Neiman Marcus has reported a breach that occurred in the middle of December – around the same time as the Target attack. Similar to the Target incident, the breach also only affected retail shoppers. Limited information is available; there has been no word on the scope of the breach in terms of number of consumers impacted or the duration of the vulnerability, thus, it can only speculatively be presumed that the two incidences are related. With cybercrime on the rise and a potential epidemic of retail hacks on the horizon, consumers may be comforted by one of the highlights of SiliconANGLE's cybersecurity prediction series: the sharing of security information. Stay tuned for further updates and developments on the Neiman Marcus story.

Adopting from LASSie
Even if you are only vacation in Langkawi, do drop by and ask one of our resident vets or staff to show you the current cats and dogs available for adoption. You never know, you might fall in love with one (or more!) of our furry residents! Should you wish to bring her/him/them with you to your home country, we can help you arrange all required documentation and shipment. It has successfully been done before, e.g. with Harriet who now lives in Sweden and many other cats and dogs previously staying at LASSie.
- to refuse any application for adoption
- to visit the premises of the pet owner once the pet is adopted
- to repossess the animal if, in LASSie's opinion, the adoption agreement is not reasonably adhered to.

Some of my readers have a warped view of my political bent.
"You are a right-wing, [naughty word], [another naughty word] conservative," one e-mail said. "You're a [very naughty word with several syllables]."
Another e-mailer put it more succinctly: "[Slang term for the lower end of the digestive tract] fascist [slang term for a person who sells his or her body for sexual purposes]."
Even more succinctly: "[Three-word recommendation involving an anatomically improbable act]."
There were also e-mails containing suggestions so vile, I couldn't quote even an edited version in a family publication such as this one. Although, the idea involving the zip-lock bag, the banana, the fire hose, the automatic garage-door opener, and the porcupine was certainly creative.
Fortunately, the person who sent that message has been apprehended by police.
This spate of spite from my fans seems to have been prompted by recent columns in which I gently chastised our elected leaders in Augusta for attempting to raise taxes, for spending money foolishly, for making it difficult to earn a living, and for breathing oxygen better conserved for those with functioning nervous systems above the neck.
Looking back on my output from the last few months, I can see why these opinions might have led some people to the erroneous conclusion that I'm a Cheney-hugging, war-mongering, Constitution-trampling, ACLU-hating tool of the corporate power structure with a bumpersticker that reads, "Trap a Canada Lynx for Jesus."
Nothing could be further from the truth. As a member of the news media (at least until the next round of layoffs), I'm required to embrace liberalism (otherwise, the copy editors beat me up). I've also stopped practicing my religion during working hours (co-workers complained about the odor from the animal sacrifices).
Nevertheless, this latest round of feedback clearly indicates more is required to prove my devotion to leftist causes. Listen up, comrades.
I'm in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage in Maine.
For the wrong reason, but, hey, it's my vote that counts.
I don't think gays and lesbians should be able to marry because of some ethereal principle of fairness. Life isn't fair.
I don't believe their unions should be sanctioned so they can get tax breaks. No tax break could justify most marriages.
I'm not swayed by religious arguments about morals. The Bible is full of polygamy, incest, and "The Song of Solomon."
And I'm not buying the economic claims in that wacky study, which concluded Maine inns could earn millions of dollars in new revenue by soaking honeymooning gay couples. Bed and breakfasts already charge too much.
I support same-sex nuptials because the government shouldn't be deciding which unrelated adults are eligible to get hitched and which aren't. Unless the government wants to stop Alex Rodriguez and Madonna.
If that reasoning doesn't get me an invitation to give the keynote address at the next Green Independent Party state convention, I don't know what will.
Except possibly my support for the medical marijuana referendum that's likely to be on the fall ballot.
Pot isn't my drug of choice, but then, neither are cocktails made with boysenberry-infused vodka, and you don't see me trying to have them outlawed. (Although, now that I think of it ...) But the medical evidence that a daily doobie or two relieves suffering for people with some serious illnesses is overwhelming. And while current Maine law allows patients with a doctor's permission to possess small amounts of grass without penalty, there's no legal way for them to get it.

Swish Shabu is tucked away on a serene stretch of Peterborough Street in the Fenway area. When I stopped by on a Monday evening, the restaurant was relatively quiet — only a few other customers at the assorted tables.
Swish Shabu offers primarily hot pot, in which hungry visitors can toss an assortment of meats and vegetables into some boiling broth, allowing it to cook to a desired level of deliciousness before happy consumption. One of the important things to know about hot pot is that it really isn't designed for solo enjoyment. First, they give you a lot of food, so unless you are a competitive-eating champion, you will need some assistance. Second, it is much more fun to throw an assortment of things into hot broth with loads of friends.
We first opted to try the house soup base, a traditional pork broth that comes free of charge. But since you get two soup-base choices, we also selected the spicier (and admittedly more adventurous) Tom Yum base ($3). This was a good choice — I highly recommend it. If you've never been to a hot-pot restaurant before, fear not. The menu is here to help, and will guide you through a step-by-step process of exactly how to order. Step #2 implored us to select some meat to cook in our soup bases, so we opted for one lamb combo ($13.50) and one beef combo ($12.50). The food was presented in a colorful assortment of platters and dishes, some containing sauces and other accoutrements. As you add meat to the broth, along with lettuce, spinach greens, carrots, corn, and other vegetables, the mixture of flavors becomes even richer.
But hot pot isn't all Swish Shabu has to offer. In addition to its headlining dish, the restaurant features a respectable selection of sushi. I couldn't turn that down, so we ordered both the grilled Boston maki ($5.95) and the shrimp tempura maki ($5.95), both excellent.
The service was friendly and efficient, the dining room comfortable and pleasant, and the food ultimately satisfying — all for an affordable price. I would recommend it to any hot-pot fans in the area.
SWISH-SHABU, located at 84-86 Peterborough Street, is open Sunday-Thursday from 11 am-11 pm, and Friday and Saturday from 11 am-12 am. For more information, call 617.236.0255, or visit swish-shabu.com.

Bridge Problem 6: Answer
The contract can be defeated with the lead of the 4. If declarer plays the A and plays trump, East will win the ace of spades and play a diamond to the queen and West will return a heart. South must win (or else West will ruff the next heart for the setting trick), but then there is no way to avoid two more losers, a heart and a diamond.
If declarer ducks the opening lead, East wins the K and plays the K. South must win (or else another heart gets ruffed by West and the trump ace is the setting trick), but East, when in with the trump ace, cashes the Q, with West throwing the Q, and then West ruffs a diamond for the setting trick.
Note that if the opening lead is the Q, declarer will win the ace and play trump. East can take the ace, cash the K and play another diamond for West to ruff, but declarer can then pitch a heart on the fourth diamond and cross ruff the rest to come to ten tricks.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Yet again, hackers have proven that they can mess with the Radio Frequency Identification chips that governments, our own included, have been so eager to embed in passports. The concern with such biometric or E-passports is that, among other things, they would allow terrorists to pick Americans and others out of crowds simply by using an RFID reader. According to workpermit.com:
This week a German computer security consultant has demonstrated how to "clone," or duplicate, a specific RFID chip. Lukas Grunwald, a security consultant with DN-Systems in Germany and an RFID expert, says the data in the chips is easy to copy, and he demonstrated the technique at the Black Hat Security Conference in Las Vegas on 03 August. [Bet that's a party.]
The hack was tested on a new European Union German passport, but the method would work on any country's "e-passport," since all of them will be adhering to the same ICAO standard. [International Civil Aviation Authority.] He obtained an RFID reader by ordering it from the maker - Walluf, Germany-based ACG Identification Technologies - but also explained that someone could easily make their own for about $200 just by adding an antenna to a standard RFID reader.
As I reported last year, our own State Department delayed plans to embed passports with RFID tags after privacy advocates publicly demonstrated the poorly encrypted chips could be read from 30 feet away.
On the lighter side of RFID:
Last July, former Wisconsin governor and secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson announced his plan to get an RFID implant.
In 2002, PR firm Fleischman Hillard suggested ways to "neutralize opposition" to RFID technology, including renaming the devices "green tags" and bringing key lawmakers into the "inner circle."
Oh, and some evangelists consider RFID tags to be the biblical sign of the beast and a portent of the Rapture.

So I've had my 13 rex now for about 4 months and had some questions around rev matching and looking for others experiences rev match downshifting. I know there are other threads on rev matching, but I haven't really seen anything specifically on the accuracy of the blip...
When I rev match (to slow down for a highway off ramp for example) I don't double clutch, just clutch in, blip throttle, and clutch out. Most of the time I get within 200 RPM. Is this good? Should I be looking to be more accurate? Most of the time I over blip slightly on purpose, and then catch the RPM as it's dropping (similar to upshifting). Sometimes it's perfect which is great feeling... and sometimes I totally miss.
My main questions:
- Is being ~200 RPM off the majority of the time on each rev match a reasonable rev match? Or is it realistic to be getting perfect rev matches all the time with more practice?
- What is considered a good rev match? My current benchmark is if my passengers can only tell I shifted because I move the shifter, but there's no jolt.
- Will being off put too much wear on the synchros/clutch?
- Is it better to overshoot or undershoot with the blip? I've heard both...
Thanks for the input!

Marching Men HTML version
McGregor began to attend some classes at Chicago University and walked about
among the massive buildings, erected for the most part through the bounty of
one of his country's leading business men, wondering why the great centre of
learning seemed so little a part of the city. To him the University seemed
something entirely apart, not in tune with its surrounding. It was like an expensive
ornament worn on the soiled hand of a street urchin. He did not stay there long.
One day he got into disfavour with the professor in one of the classes. He sat in a
room among other students, his mind busy with thoughts of the future and of how
he might get his movement of the marching men under way. In a chair beside
him sat a large girl with blue eyes and hair like yellow wheat. She like McGregor
was unconscious of what was going on about her and sat with half-closed eyes
watching him. In the corners of her eyes lurked a gleam of amusement. She drew
sketches of his huge mouth and nose on a pad of Paper.
At McGregor's left with his legs sprawled into the aisle sat a youth who was
thinking of the yellow-haired girl and planning a campaign against her. His father
was a manufacturer of berry boxes in a brick building on the West Side and he
wished he were in school in another city so that it would not be necessary to live
at home. All day he thought of the evening meal and of the coming of his father,
nervous and tired, to quarrel with his mother about the management of the
servants. Now he was trying to evolve a plan for getting money from his mother
with which to enjoy a dinner at a downtown restaurant. With delight he
contemplated such an evening with a box of cigarettes on the table and the
yellow-haired girl sitting opposite him under red lights. He was a typical American
youth of the upper middle class and was in the University only because he was in
no hurry to begin his life in the commercial world.
In front of McGregor sat another typical student, a pale nervous young man who
drummed with his fingers on the back of a book. He was very serious about
acquiring learning and when the professor paused in his talk he threw up his
hands and asked a question. When the professor smiled he laughed loudly. He
was like an instrument on which the professor struck chords.
The professor, a short man with a bushy black beard, heavy shoulders and large
powerful eye-glasses, spoke in a shrill voice surcharged with excitement.
"The world is full of unrest," he said; "men are struggling like chicks in the shell.
In the hinterland of every man's mind uneasy thoughts stir. I call your attention to
what is going on in the Universities of Germany."
The professor paused and glared about. McGregor was so irritated by what he
took to be the wordiness of the man that he could not restrain himself. He felt as

Chief Hays retires
Photo Gallery
A look back on JD Hays' career in Steamboat
Steamboat Springs When JD Hays first interviewed with the Steamboat Springs Police Department, the Los Angeles cop had never heard of Steamboat, and it was snowing so hard he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.
It still was snowing hard in April after he had been offered the patrol position and visited again to buy a house.
"Then when I showed up in July, I was looking around, and I said, 'Hey, this is pretty nice,'" said Hays, 66. "I could easily have ended up anyplace, and anyplace wouldn't have worked. This has been the perfect match for me, Steamboat Springs."
Nearly 32 years after joining the department, colleagues, friends and family members gathered to honor the retiring police chief. On Thursday, a section of Pine Grove Road near the Mountain Fire Station was renamed JD Hays Way.
"I can say honestly and without a doubt that this department was the best that I ever had, and this police chief is the best police chief I have ever worked with," said Paul Hughes, who was a city manager for 21 years, eight of which were in Steamboat.
To describe Hays, people use words including "family," "integrity," "honor," "humble" and "humility."
"Throughout his career, he always put the community first instead of himself, and I think that's an unusual characteristic about him," said Capt. Bob DelValle, who has known Hays since 1980. "He's the kind of man that a man should aspire to be."
Hays moved to Steamboat because he said he did not want to raise his family in Los Angeles. He and his wife, Paula, raised two sons. Scott is 32, and Tim is 30.
"Obviously, I'm a little biased, but I think Dad has done a great job, and I'm really proud of him," Scott Hays said.
JD Hays was promoted to captain in 1983, and in 1997, he replaced former police Chief Roger Jensen, who was in Steamboat last week to celebrate with Hays.
"Whether it hurt him or helped him, he'd always give you an honest answer," Jensen said. "You have to have those credentials, or you can't move forward. That's why he's still here. That's why he can leave when he wants to."
Detective Jerry Stabile got his first job in law enforcement under Hays in 1990.
"He has the same passion that he had 20 years ago," Stabile said. "He's just consistent, and I think it's resonated with the whole department."
Barb Simms, assistant to the chief of police, has worked with Hays since 1983.
"When I start talking about him, it chokes me up," Simms said. "I hate to see him leave. The department is first. He wants the best department ever."
Sgt. Rich Brown is a Steamboat native who was hired by Hays in 1992, when Steamboat officers wore Wrangler jeans and were issued cowboy hats as part of their uniforms.
"He's just very connected to what policing is and what the police department was in the '80s, and I think he's stayed grounded through all of that," Brown said.
Colleagues praised Hays for creating an atmosphere where people look forward to coming to work.
"It's such a fun place, and JD is a big part of that," said Joel Rae, who has been named the new police chief. "He's a true friend and a true mentor that I've had in this profession, and I think we've been a good team."
Hays' advice for the new chief simply was to stay humble.
"So many times, you see people in authority that turn into jerks as soon as they get a bit of authority, and that's really upsetting to me," Hays said. "All people need to be treated with respect and dignity, even the bad ones, and that's what I've always emphasized when I've been here."
Hays said he has gotten the most satisfaction out of the way his department handled the most serious crimes.
"Everything happens here that happens in Denver, just not as often," Hays said.
Now that he's retired, the avid hunter and outdoorsman said he plans to continue enjoying life in Steamboat around his friends and family.
"If I've done anything in the last 15 years, it's surround myself with competent people," Hays said. "I've loved this job, and I've loved this community."

text: An elite level figure skater who flat out refuses to do full run throughs IS lazy. Not just lazy, but ineffective at practicing in a way that would yield better results. Let's say you don't think I can call Carolina lazy because she practices 100 jumps a day...well, that just means she likes jumping, but doesn't like doing run-throughs. Someone who is lazy isn't necessarily someone who puts forth no effort, but rather someone who doesn't put forth any effort beyond what they "feel like" doing. I'm not saying she would definitely place better if she did do full run throughs, but I am saying that if she refuses to do full run throughs then she is jeopardizing the chance of placing better that she could have. There's honestly no reason other than nursing an injury or illness that would warrant an elite skater (and even non-elite skaters, to be perfectly honest) *not* to do full run throughs of programs.
