Nick Frost has for years been the best sidekick in the business. He is as good a character actor as you'll find, convincingly playing, say, the doofus police partner (Hot Fuzz) or the sober straight man to his alcoholic best friend (The World's End). But with Cuban Fury, he's finally taking center stage—figuratively and literally.
Almost ten years to the day after the release of Shaun of the Dead—the movie that would make the British actor a recognizable face in U.S.—Frost is hilariously gracing the big screen as Bruce, a former child salsa prodigy who gets back in the game decades later to impress a girl (played by Parks and Recreation's Rashida Jones).
Considering that Frost seems willing to do pretty much anything onscreen—he once ran through a fence, mind you—it's hard to say Cuban Fury is an extremely brave turn for Frost. Still, given that he's dancing while carrying much of the film on his back, it's still an impressive feat. And as the movie's lead he also gets to show of his fantastic range, playing a lovelorn office drone and hyper-confident fire-footed lothario in the same character with ease.
Cuban Fury hits theaters Friday, the first in a long string of projects he's got coming, including a possible collaboration with his Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz/The World's End cohorts Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg and The Boxtrolls. Here's why Frost is at the top of his game right now.
Cuban Fury was his idea.
As surprising as it is that Frost, known as a slapstick-style comedian, would want to play a salsa dancer, it's even more surprising that he created the role for himself. Frost's had the idea for years and always has loved dancing, but he was afraid to tell anyone. "It would haunt me," he says. "Every now and again it would pop up and say, 'You need to tell someone about me.'" One night he came home from a party and simply couldn't keep his secret any longer. He sent an email to his producer Nira Park. Then fell asleep in his clothes. "I woke up the next day and my mouth was dry and I looked at my laptop and there was a reply reading, 'This is a great idea. Let's do it,'" Frost says. "I was terrified but it was also a tremendous relief."
He spent seven months training for Cuban Fury—and nailed the moves.
If it looks like Frost knows what he's doing on a dance floor, it's because he does. He spent seven months learning salsa and even although "there were tears," he knew he had to pull it off–if for no other reason than as the producer he'd committed to mastering the moves to get his dream project funded. "I've been in meetings where I'm saying, 'Yeah, of course I'll fuckin' dance—don't worry about me' to get it green-lit," he says. "It was only until half-way through month six that I was like, 'We could do this!'"
Frost helped get Deadwood's Ian McShane to play a salsa instructor.
In Cuban Fury, Frost's character Bruce calls on his childhood instructor help him learn to dance again. The teacher is played by Ian McShane, most famously known to American audiences as the gruff, hard-drinking Al Swearengen on Deadwood. "He's like a terrible alcoholic Mr. Miyagi," Frost says of McShane's performance in Fury. Getting McShane to go for the part might have been the easiest casting ever. Frost knew the veteran actor from their work together on Snow White and the Huntsman. "I phoned him and it was the shortest phone call I think I'd ever had," Frost says. "I said, 'Ian, do you want to come do a film where you play a salsa teacher?' He went, 'Yeah,' and hung up."
His dark sense of humor works both on-screen and off-screen.
After Cuban Fury, Frost has a new TV series coming up in the U.K. called Mr. Sloane from Curb Your Enthusiasm producer Robert B. Weide. It's about a straight-laced Brit (Frost) who loses his wife and job on the same day in 1969 and finds redemption through a twentysomething American hippie. It allows Frost to showcase how well he can mix drama and humor. "We start, the first scene is a failed suicide bid, which is always one of those things where it's like, 'Is it comedy?'" Frost says, before deadpanning, "but you know if a sitcom starts with a failed suicide bid there's only one way for it to go. Up. Unless he doesn't fail, that's worse. [Then] it's just one episode."
Frost will be reunite with Simon Pegg to lend their voices to The Boxtrolls, but they might make a movie of their own again together soon.
Frost, Pegg, and director Edgar Wright finished the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy last year with The World's End, but that doesn't mean the collaboration is over. Frost says they've been discussing an idea they could work on together once they finish their various projects, particularly Wright's little Marvel movie Ant-Man. The important thing is not to rush out a movie to rush out a movie. "If it means we have to sit around doing our own things now for seven years or five years then we make something we're massively proud of and the people who like stuff we do will freak out about and love," Frost says. "That's more important than pumping some filthy egg out of our ovipositors once every 18 months. We had a great idea on a plane about something but it will be completely different than what we've done before."
He also just signed on to do a pilot for a U.S. show called Sober Companion.
Not much is known about the upcoming project, other than it stars Frost as a guy who gets a court-appointed, yes, sober companion played by Justin Long. "I play a high-functioning alcoholic lawyer," Frost says. "For a character actor, when you see the words 'high-functioning alcoholic and lawyer' you're like, 'Yeah. That.'"Go Back to Top.

Track Pad & 'Picker' Problem
MacBook : OS x 10.5.7
Hello Everybody, I've got a big problem.
This morning, when I turned on my Mac, I discovered that my 'clicker' (just under the track pad) didn't responded - or responded very badly.
I ran :
- Repair DiskPermissions
- Repair Disk (from an external HD)
Both had acceptable results
I reset the pram.
In addition, I can't start-up with the system disks. Every time I try, the CD is ejected. I even set it the start-up disk but was met with the same results !
I hooked up a 2 button external mouse only to be surprised by more strange behavior (I have no software for this mouse) :
- The left click works fine - for a very short or for a long period. The reason for the length is foreign to me. When it doesn't work & I resort to the right button, it acts as if I were clicking on the left button while holding down the ctrl key ('sticky' pull-down window !) In addition, when in this state, the dock becomes inaccessible. If it's in the mood, which is more often than not, there is no reaction at all & I must resort to a restart.
If I click on the track-pad or the 'clicker', everything open becomes 'frozen' & a restart is obligatory (which I have done more than 8 times to post this !).
Never having seen such results, I suspected a virus & began my search for a solution in this area. I found 2 groups - for & against.
I get the exact same results when starting-up with an external HD !
Thank you very much.
If it is happening when booting from an external HD, then it is not a virus or trojan (which currently is a miniscule probability anyway). It is more likely an issue with the button itself or the motherboard.

The head of Manaia PHO says Healthy Homes Tai Tokerau insulating thousands of Northland homes is one of the most significant health initiatives in his nine years with the organisation.
Chris Farrelly says the scheme has come on leaps and bounds since the local PHO retro-fitted 10 homes six years ago under the banner of Warm Up Whangarei. More than 5000 have been completed and the work has created jobs for 50 people.
Manaia PHO receives referrals from local health providers of families who would benefit from the scheme.
"The big thing is that we're only half-way there - Warm Up New Zealand finishes next June," Mr Farrelly said.
"In Northland, we have a shocking housing stock and rheumatic fever is linked to poor housing so we are going for broke to try to do as many as we can."
Mr Farrelly says now is the time to register your interest in the subsidy scheme as there's normally a rush as the weather cools.

Madison High School student honored
REXBURG, Idaho - He's bright, talented and well-rounded. Those are just some of the reasons Madison High School Senior Kash Merrill gets the United Dairymen of Idaho Distinguished Student Award.
It's spring time so Kash Merrill is practicing his baseball batting. But if it were a few months earlier you'd see him out on the court playing on the basketball team.
"I've had a lot of fun being involved in a lot of sports, and last year our team won the state basketball championship and that was a very fun, positive experience," Kash says.
One thing Kash learned playing sports is determination, and that's carried over to his school work as well. Kash has a perfect 4.0 GPA because he attacks his school work the same way he helped his basketball team win a state championship last year.
"Just being determined to get every assignment in on time, and doing every assignment to the best of your ability is key in that, I think," Kash says.
While sports are a big part of Kash's life, he's well rounded. He's involved in music too.
"I'm involved in the Bel Cantos Choir here at school and that has been a very positive, fun experience just to be with a bunch of people and be able to come and sing every day, and I think music is a good thing to have in your life -it broadens the range of everything you have," Kash says.
Kash has the same advice for those entering high school we've heard time and time again this year from our Distinguished Students.
"I would say be involved as much as possible and get to meet as many new people as possible, because it's always more fun to have a lot more friends and a lot of activities that you're involved in," Kash says.

Welcome to the forum.
To answer your question, yes and no, it all depends on the type of firearm I was carrying at the time.
If I was carrying a 1911 style pistol the round was chambered and the safety was on. If I was carrying a DA/SA pistol like a Beretta the round was chambered, the gun decocked and the safety was left off. I rely on the long DA first shot to prevent problems.

Everkool fridge/freezer @ Rays Outdoor
I have an 80L Waco but was looking at one of these. Evakool RV Fridge Freezer - 35L - Rays Outdoors Any opinions on them, waste of money or good buy?
I just picked up the BCF junk mail and they have the same unit for that price but with a bonus carry bag, better deal..I'd also be interested in some opinions about them too.
I have had the 60 ltr rv by evakool for a yr and found it quite solid. but is either fridge or freezer not both at same time. paid 900 for it with a bonus 1kva generator. pic of it in its bag in rear on slide.http://www.raysoutdoors.com.au/onlin...=1021966#Cross also runs of battery 105ah in back for 5 days. cools quickly and has turbo cool switch.
They look like an older model Engle, I had a look inside and it didn't have a divider, but if the compressor is a good one and warranty is ok it could be a great second fridge. I'm getting older and find the Waco is a bit heavy for short trips. BCF looks the way to go.
BCF have them for the same price with a bag on sale 27th. Look the goods. Just would like a reliable second fridge freezer that is lighter and easier for me to chuck in the truck.
BTW guys: Rays, BCF & Supercreep all owned by the same company: Supergroup.
I trucked their goods daily from the train yard here in Forrestfield to the distribution WH up the road.
So prices should be somewhat the same.
Hmm I'm looking around for an 80l fridge. I have a 50l but need more room for drinks.
Maybe one of these as a second fridge in the camper is a better idea

A proper fridge with a proper separate freezer like mine has no problems storing beer and the like. I just put a 4 cans on top of the freezer section and any females that trail along behind you can have the fridge for there food and stuff.
Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App
Got some good feedback from another forum. Will be down at BCF on 27th to get one. :p Apparently you use them as either a fridge or freezer.
The way I read it BCF is giving away a bonus solar kit and cover worth $599 with every 60L or 80L Evakool.
Evapower Solar Panel Kit - BCF
That's a good deal! How long does it run for?
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk
Went to show the old man this deal today, it's expired :-(
Shouldn't have waited!
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk
100 watt of solar panel worth $600 , Christ I got 120 watt hooked up for $150, much happier. Different I guess if it's for free.
Went down to BCF this morning, only had 2 in stock, both shop soiled, one was missing cords and instructions. Picked the best looking one and proceeded to the check out. They had to order a bag for it. Plugged it in at home and it appears all good. Will change the Merritt plug for an Anderson plug later. Dropped the temperature from 22 to -10 in about 20 minutes. Should be a good alternative to the Waeco for short trips. :D
Keep your eyes peeled as by the sounds of things they throw up a deal from time to time.
I've always intended to grab an Engel, my family has been using them since the 70s with all the legendary reliability you hear about, the above offer seemed too good to refuse though, want to get a solar set up though for the Kimberly trip, ran a mates 60l in karijini in the back of my Ute, temps were hot and my tray builds up some seriously intense heat so it was working very hard, unfortunately my yellowtop deep cycle couldn't keep up for a whole day

"So you should not grieve over the fact that you are spending the blossoming part of your life in detention. Rather you should be happy. Because even your sleeping is worship. Your living in jail is worship. Finally I want to say this that the "Help of Allah is on its way. The help from Allah is near. Our victory is near. Nasrum Min'Allah wa Fathun Qareeb, [the exact words painted on the mural]."
"There is one blessing that will be granted [by Allah] in this world. Which is the Divine help and imminent victory, that is, conquests of enemy territories. If the word Qareeb (near) is the opposite of Hereafter, it would include all later Islamic conquests of Arab and non-Arab territories."
"Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, says, 'And [you will obtain] another [favour] that you love - victory from Allah and an imminent conquest" (وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ). This statement is an expression of joy and happiness for the victory of Allah Almighty by the hands of his servants the believers in Jumruk, in Harat al-Badu and in the Hajana Battalion after Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, assured our brothers the mujahideen in this night their conquests [the three aforementioned places in the area of Daraa] and the defeat of the infidel army Thanks to God Almighty. This is an expression of love, sign to believers in black [Qaeda' black uniform], message to the forces of the mujahideen and [testament] to the annihilation of the enemies of the religion [Islam] after Allah bestowed us the victory and the clear conquest."
"The fear of loose [nuclear] weapons comes from the fact that Pakistan's armed forces harbour a hidden enemy within their ranks. Those wearing the cloak of religion freely walk in and out of top security nuclear installations every day ... The fear of the insider is ubiquitous and well-founded."
"I have brought a commandment for you people; it is that henceforth 'jihad by sword' [armed jihad] is forbidden ... Now jihad for the sake of religion is prohibited."
"In the language of the Divine Law, this word (jihad) is used specifically for the war that is waged solely in the name of God against those who perpetrate oppression as enemies of Islam. This supreme sacrifice is the responsibility of all Muslims."
"Jihad is as much a primary duty as are daily prayers or fasting. One who avoids it is a sinner. His every claim to being a Muslim is doubtful. He is plainly a hypocrite who fails in the test of sincerity and all his acts of worship are a sham, a worthless, hollow show of deception."
"A Muslim will remain prepared to fight against it (non-Muslim country), whether it be his birthplace or a place where his relatives reside or where his property or any other material interests are located."
"Innocent people killed in this, so sad...US is rule by jews (sic)".
"It is not certain that these people are Jihadis."
"This [bombing in Boston] is not jihad... jihad is waged against oneself."
"Jihad is part of this overall defence of Islam," he writes. In case the reader is left with any doubt about the meaning of the word 'jihad.' In the language of the Divine Law, this word (jihad) is used specifically for the war that is waged solely in the name of God against those who perpetrate oppression as enemies of Islam. This supreme sacrifice is the responsibility of all Muslims."
"Jihad is as much a primary duty as are daily prayers or fasting. One who avoids it is a sinner. His every claim to being a Muslim is doubtful. He is plainly a hypocrite who fails in the test of sincerity and all his acts of worship are a sham, a worthless, hollow show of deception."
"A Muslim will remain prepared to fight against it [a non-Muslim country], whether it be his birthplace or a place where his relatives reside or where his property or any other material interests are located."
"Obviously, I do not know who carried out that operation, but if it was done by the mujahedeen [jihadis], it serves as a message to America and the West: We are still alive. Contrary to what you say, we have not died. The [Americans] wanted to send a message to the entire world that they had finished off the mujahedeen -- not just the mujahedeen of Al-Qaeda, but the mujahedeen all over the world. I do not know who carried out this attack, but if it was indeed the mujahedeen, it was meant as a clear message to America and to the West."
"We are in a war driven by ideology. 'Violent extremism,' which is the label the government and the commentariat prefer to put on our enemies, is not an ideology -- it is the brutality that radical ideologies yield. Our enemies' ideology is Islamic supremacism. To challenge and defeat an ideological movement, you have to understand and confront their vision of the world. Imposing your own assumptions and biases will not do. Islamic supremacists do not see a world of Westphalian nation-states. They do not distinguish between Russia and America the way they distinguish between Muslims and non-Muslims. Their ideology frames matters as Dar al-Islam versus Dar al-Harb: the realm of Islam in a fight to the death against the realm of war -- which is everyone and everyplace else."
"Dear America, your recent $700 million aid to Pakistan will be used for death & destruction in Balochistan. Jets bombarding from last 3 days."]]>
"We must all rise, destroy Israel and replace it with the heroic Palestinian nation."
"Insha'Allah I see the day when we the Muslims will march on Palestine and liberate Palestine for all the people of the world ... Under Islamic Law they will all be living as equal citizens."
"Wherever you see injustice happening, understand that there is a 1%, 2% or 100% involvement of the 'Zionist Regime'. The same Zionist regime that sucks the resources, the blood that belong to the people all across the world."
"Given that the U.S. government has established in federal court that the Muslim Brotherhood's mission in the United States is 'destroying the Western civilization from within' -- a practice the Brothers call 'civilization jihad' -- we believe that the apparent involvement of those with such ties raises serious security concerns that warrant your urgent attention."
"I can say at the outset that elements of the Muslim Brotherhood, both here [USA] and overseas have supported terrorism. To the extent that I can provide information, I would be happy to do so in closed session, but it would be difficult to do it in open session."
Early on May 9, a week after U.S. Special Forces stormed the hideout of Osama bin Laden and killed him, a senior Pakistani diplomat telephoned me with an urgent request. Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan's president, needed to communicate a message to White House national security officials that would bypass Pakistan's military and intelligence channels.
"If nine judges of the Supreme Court can be under their [military] influence, then I am sorry to say I cannot have any expectations from three judges, who are subordinate to the same Supreme Court judges."
"Should we close our eyes? Should we allow ourselves to be fooled?... I have told my client [Haqqani] he can appear before the commission if he wishes to -- and he will go--but I have no confidence at all in the [judicial] commission."
"I saw the random killing and shooting of civilians. Canon fire destroyed part of my house, but the next morning when we saw the tree gone, we were devastated. Bawt Tawla was gone forever, we thought. But we were wrong."
"Our government has failed to denounce the suppression of democracy. Our government has failed to denounce atrocities... But we have chosen not to intervene, even morally, on the grounds that the ...conflict, in which unfortunately the overworked term 'genocide' is applicable, is purely an internal matter of a sovereign state."
"Nothing is more clear, or more easily documented, than the systematic campaign of terror -- and its genocidal consequences -- launched by the Pakistani army on the night of March 25th ...All of this has been officially sanctioned, ordered and implemented under martial law from Islamabad. America's heavy support of Islamabad is nothing short of complicity in the human and political tragedy of East Bengal."
"For us, he was a hero then and will always be remembered as the man who stood by us in our darkest days. The banyan tree should now be re-named as the banyan tree called Kennedy."

When we arrived at the appartement, we were all sattisfied with the appartement were we were going to stay for the next 2 nights. Besides the fact that we were welcommed every night by a homeless man, who was sitting in the staircase of our appartement complex, our appartment was fine. The shower was leaking and wasn't working well. The chairs were very unstable and during the first night of our stay, one chair broke when one of us was sitting down. During the second night we were approached by our host on the street after we left, who said how messy the place was (overreacted) and how much noise we made during that night. We reacted politly by telling him our awarness of our noise and appologised for that. We also promised that we would clean the whole place up, which we did. The fact that he entered the appartement during our stay without telling us, and the fact that he was very rude the next morning by yelling and insulting us, was very unplesant. We were trying to make clear we were very sorry for the noise we made, but even though the way he talked and yelld to us was very rude and unpleasent.
So the appartment was good for what we payed, but the way we were treated by our host was off limits.
We were greeted by a very nice man who got us into a great apartment. The apartment is centrally located with walking distance to everything.Two of the bedrooms had a window overlooking the street, where there were some sound on weekdays. We were unlucky and had craftsmen in the neighboring apartment, and they started early in the morning. So recommends desire apartment out onto the courtyard. There is also a nice terrace, we were disappointed not to get in our apartment since there are balcony / terrace in the description. It is also quieter inner courtyard and sunny.Beyond that the apartment was in tip top condition and neo-modern.
Very good apartment, within walking distance of old town, lots of café/bars around the square, host makes you very welcome and ensures you have everything you need.
Very good 3-days stay,
The apartment was clean and everything was working well. There was also a good Iron and its respective table to iron. The apartment is well fournished, very confortable, spacious, colourful and nice decoration. Everything we needed! Also the owners were very kind and helpful. Apartment near the center. Thanks for all, totally recommend it!
This is the place to stay in krakow. Central location, walking distance to everything. immaculately clean, ideal for two couples. Our host Andrejz was fantastic. Communication prior,during and post our stay was easy and Andrejz provided us with excellent information about this fantastic city.
Great apartment in the center of Krakow. 2 minutes walk to the marked square and the cloth hall, 5 to the Wawel. Additional to all the places of interest the center around the apartment is full of coffee shops, restaurants and bars.
Everything worked totally easy. The apartment owner (Andrzej) was really heplful and dedicated.
Next time in Krakow, I will definetely book this apartment again!
Great apartment in the Kazimierz area. Mr Andrzej was very helpful from the beginning when we were planning our trip to Krakow.
Upon arrival he showed us aound in the aparment and checked everything.
Location is perfect. A 10 mins walk from the old city centre and right in the middle of Kazimierz, the old jewish quarter and now a trendy area for bars, restaurants (like Klezmer Hois) and a good dose of history.
We stayed with 4 adults and had more than enough room. The apartment is very clean and neat. Equipped with all the appliances you would need for a comfortable stay. Only with the washing machine we had to check the internet for how it works. The rest everything was working perfect!
Parking space in front of the door, cheaper than a secured parking lot and with the low crime rate great to have the car near. Mind that you check the meter everyday.
Shops and restaurants are next door so if you need anything it's just a minute and you have it.
Only downside is that the innersquare has the back entrance to the restaurant which is next door. Also the kitchen is there so when you're sitting in the livingroom and you have your window open you could have some noise from the kitchen (like we had to go 3 times and tell them to lower the volume because it was realy loud). Evenso the more reason to go and checkout the city.
Great place to say when you're in Krakow, we surelly would recommend this place to anyone!
Excellent refurbished apartment smack bang in city centre and the host could not have been more helpful and accomodating. Great value for money and would recommend
Nice flat. Excellent location.
This is a very nice place on a great (quiet) spot, just a 2 minute walk to the great market. The apartment is clean and looks new. Also the service was excellent. The only thing I can think of is that it was quite hot inside (there's no aircon).

Finalist in "NBC's 'Smash' Make A Musical"
Scholars' Academy is one of 30 schools from across the country to be selected as finalists in "NBC's 'Smash' Make a Musical Constructed by Lowe's" initiative to improve school theater facilities.
The schools will compete to receive the most online votes at makeamusical.org by Wednesday, April 10 in order to receive one of five grand prize gift certificates to Lowe's for their renovations. "These 30 exceptional schools all deserve to win the grand prize. Whether you live near to or far from them, please take a moment to applaud them. And please find your own unique way to express support of young people in the arts in your community, whether it's buying tickets to a show, donating time or resources, or congratulating a student performer or member of the backstage crew," says Timothy Allen McDonald, founding chairman of iTheatrics. The company, an educational theater consultancy firm, is a partner in the project. Last season, "NBC's 'Smash': Make a Musical" created musical theater programs in schools by giving educators and students the tools and training they needed to build selfsustaining programs in underserved schools. The partnership was the catalyst for iTheatrics to produce 170 "Make a Musical" programs in schools across the U.S., with "NBC's Smash': Make a Musical" being directly responsible for creating 30 additional musical theater programs.
"NBC's 'Smash': Make a Musical" was awarded a 2012 Thalo Critics' Choice Inspirational Award.

Super Bowl Predictions – Who You Got?
We are two days away from the biggest annual sporting event in North America – the Super Bowl. The 47th edition of "The Big Game" features the Baltimore Ravens taking on the San Francisco 49ers, one elite defense against another, John Harbaugh vs. Jim Harbaugh and Joe Flacco vs. Colin Kaepernick.
I decided to conduct a small social experiment with some of the on-air talent from my fellow radio stations inside the building, and here are their predictions for Super Bowl XLVII:
- Jeff Levack ("Sean and Richie Morning Show" on Today's Country 107.7, GNA): Baltimore 31-24
- Wes Styles (Midday host on Q103, Albany's #1 Rock Station): Baltimore 28-24
- Jake Thomas (Afternoon Drive host on Today;s Country 107.7, GNA): Baltimore 27-20
Brian Noe, Bruce Jacobs and I will all unveil our predictions during our respective shows throughout the next 24 hours. But now, it's your turn: what is your prediction for Super Bowl XLVII?

These wheels are polished barrels and centers with a ceramic clear coat to make them almost trouble free.i wil say these are almost perfect but not 100% They do have a couple place that had curb rash but nothing major at all and these can be made perfect for very little $$$ by a local shop here. Sizes are 20"X8.5 up front and 20"X10" back with decent Toyo Proxes II sizes 285/30/ZR20 and 245/35/ZRR20 tires. If you all know how much these wheels sell for new for you know this is one helluva deal! I would also sell Car with these wheels and stock of wheels for $18,000.00 Car is in fantasitc shape with only intake and skip shift eliminator , clear fogs. tinted window as he only mods! 76,000 miles and very well taken cae of. I'm very meticulous with my cars and it shows with this car!

Blackhawks are more fun to watch than Bulls
There are 42 comments on the Chicago Tribune story from Jan 4, 2009, titled Blackhawks are more fun to watch than Bulls. In it, Chicago Tribune reports that:It took only about 40 years to come back around, but it's official. I enjoy watching hockey more than basketball.

Thanks for stating the obvious

She is just reaffirming the renaissance of the blackhawks. To the point on kids being introduced, I have a 19 yr old son not too familiar with the hawks (too hard to see easily - did not want to spend dollars on tix), and a 9 yr old who I am able to teach the game through due to all games being televised - and now he is a hawk nut too! Good column!

How you keep a job writing about sports is amazing. You never write anything worth reading. I don't know why I even clicked this piece of garbage. Until Jordan joined the Bulls they were nothing in this town. The Bulls are back where they belong.
#4 Jan 4, 2009
If not for the fact that this season's Bulls are such an unlikeable team, you probably wouldn't see the shift toward the Blackhawks that has taken place. And once the Bulls are good again--if that ever happens with the hole this team is stuck in--the Bulls will again own Chicago, regardless of what the Hawks are doing.

Didn't the Bulls move to OK city?
#6 Jan 5, 2009
Sorry, the Bulls will never own this town again.
Ive been to both sports at the UC and there is no comparison from a basketball game to a hockey game. At a hockey game the crowd is focused on the action. Everyone stays in their seats during play to actually watch the game. At a basketball game there are so many distractions during a game that its almost impossible to watch.
Hockey was never dead in this town, just lulled to sleep by the monotone voice of Pully.

There is room for both teams as long as they win. I have been a hockey person all my life (player and coach) and simply had and have no time for basketball in general. Spent a lot of my youth going to Blackhawk games at the Old Barn. I just can't see how anyone could be a strong supporter(money and time spent) of both the Bulls and the Hawks. It would seem to me only nominal sports fans could truly be into both teams with the two sports being so different. Hey, I love the Hawks and will support them. Nothing against the Bulls and basketball-just not interested. Again, there is room for both teams.
#8 Jan 5, 2009
I went to the game last night and had a great time. It was my first hockey game in years. I believe the last game I saw one was in Winnipeg cheering the Jets, if that tells you anything. I was amazed at the enthusiastic crowd and the great energy in the arena. Hockey fans are the best! They are 100% into the game. I've been to Bulls games, and the fans don't compare. I also have to give kudos to the very entertaining organist. A good quality organist can't be compared to any of the glitzy high-tech noise that pollutes the experience of watching a game. I wish they'd calm down on all of the blaring showbiz junk and just let the folks simply enjoy the game a bit more. You can't even hear yourselves talk half the time. I'm glad the Blackhawks will be on TV more, I'll definitely tune in.
#9 Jan 5, 2009
Everything goes in cycles. The Hawks are in the middle of an up cycle and the Bulls, well....
The Jordan years skewed the sports landscape in this town. The Bulls have had and always will have their fan base, but when they lose the bandwagon crowd, they lose 75% of that base. The Hawks are definitely getting a boost from that same crowd, but I think the Hawks core fan base is larger and more loyal than the Bulls.

True. From '85 to '96 (beginning Jordan, ending Roenick), both teams were top of the world. I don't know how far back your history goes, Brian from Naperville, but you clearly forgot or have no idea how much a draw the Hawks were in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. They were on WGN like they sometimes are now, and Bobby Hull had hair.
I was debating hockey vs. hoops with a friend, and can anyone explain why basketballers can't go for an hour? Why only 48? Maybe if they extended the game, you'd a) get the slouch players in shape and b) return a semblance of fundamentals and efficiency. Of course, with commercials and timeouts, you'd actually be extending each game by an hour, one of the reasons why the end of a close hockey game is eminently more thrilling than anything b-ball or football can manage.
#11 Jan 5, 2009
The Bulls never compared to the Hawks in the mid '60s. This is especially evident if you consider the Bulls didn't exist as a franchise until 1967.
I don't recall the Bulls receiving a lot of attention in the early '70s. The Blackhawks heartbreaking Stanley Cup loss in '71 overshadowed the sports scene. I'm not quite old enough to remember, but the Hawks (so I'm told) were the toughest ticket in town back in the '60s.
Michael Jordan did for the Bulls what Bobby Hull did for the Blackhawks. Each of them brought their respective teams from the nether regions of consciousness to the forefront of the local sports scene. The Hawks lived for years off of their resident superstars (Hull/Mikita/Espo than Savard/Larmer/Wilson, etc then Roenick/Belfour and then nothing) until they began their fade in the late '90s.
The Bulls are currently living off of residual interest from the Jordan era. I would guess they need to get some star players and some seasons where they can mount a serious charge for the NBA title (if not win it) to keep their fan base from dwindling. If the Bulls can't accomplish those things over the next decade - they'll begin to become more and more of an afterthought around here.
#12 Jan 5, 2009
NO ONE compared to the Blackhawks from 1967 until 1973-74. LEAST of all the neophyte Bulls. The Stadium was sold out every night (16,667 plus those in the rafters) without benefit of home TV AND with the radio games starting at the end of the 1st period. I remember going to get Bobby Hull's autograph at Korvette's in Oak Lawn, standing in a line that snaked back to 87th Street for 2 hours, and getting in to see Bobby signing away with a smile and probably covering the 200 people in line behind me. There was not a single Sox player who could draw like that on the South Side.
Reinsdorf likes to think he built a 6 time champion when really he lucked into Michael Jordan. Take him away and they would not have won a single championship. Their TV ads tell it all: they don't sell the game or the team, they have people talking about bringing business associates and having a great time - no doubt eating the free grub and drinking the free suds on this salesman.
I wonder if it really sticks in Reinsdorf's craw that his Bulls and Joking Noah are being overtaken in laps by the Hawks, with an ex Cub at the helm?
#13 Jan 5, 2009
If it wasn't for Bill Wirtz and Michael Jordan the Hawks would have always been the dominant winter sports team.
#14 Jan 5, 2009
The Bulls will remain a joke as long as Paxson is still running the show. It's really embarrasing what he has let happen.

The Hawks were the most popular team until Jordan come to the Bulls. The Hawks had everything, then decided to piss it away, trading their good players when they wanted to get paid. Pully ruined the team and now Rocky, McDoungh, and Tallon have risen it from the ashes. Putting the games on TV and bringing back Pat Foley were huge. Now kids can watch the Hawks and become fans of the most exciting sport of all. It is so great to be at the UC these days. And even now the media is starting to change gears and hopefully pay more attention to the Hawks.
#16 Jan 5, 2009
The Bulls? Nobody ever rooted for the Bulls. For a time people came to the Stadium to see some guy named Michael Jordon, but there has never been any interest in the Bulls in this city. Now, the Hawks, this is a franchise loaded with Chicago Sport icons: Bobby Hull, Stan Makita, Tony Esposito, Dennis Savard, and many others. The old Stadium used to pack them in every night. EVERY NIGHT. And don't call MJ a Chicago icon. He's an NBA icon. He does not belong to Chicago. Chicago is all the icons already noted from the Hawks as well as guys like Billy Williams and Ernie Banks, Minnie Minoso, Dick Butkus, Coach Ditka, Gayle Sayers and Walter Payton. Dang, half the 85 Bears still hang out in Chicago. Who's more Chicago, Dan Hampton or MJ? Chicago is a working class town, and hockey, like football is sport that requires work. Ever since the 80s, basketball has been about the prima-donnas. Nobody cares about the Bulls. Heck, MJ ran out town the few Chicago guys the Bulls had, guys like Craig Hodges and Horace Grant, guys who would go out to the local playgrounds and shoot hoops with the neighborhood kids. The Hawks are Budwiser and Schlitz and Hamms in a pub. The Bulls are Dom Perignon in a skybox where the only thing anyone notices is highlight-reel dunk.

I remember the'71 Stanley Cup Finals homegames were shown closed cicuit at movie thaters. Mydad, brother and I went and saw a game at a nearly sold out Uptown Theater. This discussion reminds me of a quote from Bob Verdi during the early '90s.
"Bulls fans go to the games to be seen. Blackhawks fans go to the games to be heard."
#18 Jan 5, 2009
Missy, This is really a well written article. Unfortunately, some of the posters have been reading jerks like Marriotti, DeRogotis, and Morrissey for a bit too long and have begun to reflect and imitate their contrarian cynacism. If Dan McGrath had any brains, which he obviously does not, he would exile Morrissey from the sports section and give you more space. On those ocassions when you do blast someone and present a disphoric perspective, you do it with class the same way that Dave VanDyck, Bob Versi, and Paul Sullivan do; and not in the self serving narcisstic way that Morrissey does at the Trib.
#19 Jan 5, 2009
This is how the bs with the "Cubs are better than the Sox" started back in the 80's. The Bulls have earned respect- Real fans stick by a team when they're struggling. Bandwagon fans flipflop and are otherwise known as Cub fans.

Mason 33 cutter rig?
I know there are Mason P.A.E. boats with a cutter rig. Does anyone know if any of the 33' Masons were built as cutters. I haven't found any for sale.
Re: Mason 33 cutter rig?
CARINA has an inner forestay, though I'm not sure whether she was built that way, or modified by an owner...
I've always thought the Mason 33 was one of the most beautiful boats in that size range, and certainly has the look of a very sweet-sailing boat... The owners of CARINA have certainly gotten around, and appear to love their boat...
SV Carina - Philip & Leslie's Home Page
Like any boat, however, one has to be aware of her potential 'issues'... This chainplate arrangement should certainly warrant a very thorough inspection...

Chinese immigrants, who have lost thousands in a Hong Kong lotteries and investment scam, are hoping the arrest of a gang said to be behind the scam could result in some of their money being returned.
"I was fooled into thinking I was a millionaire, but now I'd really be happy even if I got a portion of what I lost," said Lily Kwok, who paid $11,000 to the scam last year.
"I really cannot believe I am stupid enough to fall for it because you always think that this is something that happens only to someone else," she said.
Several Chinese New Zealanders were among the 160 people in the Asia-Pacific region the Hong Kong gang duped out of HK$21 million ($3.8 million) in scams involving lotteries and investments.
The group of 13 locals were arrested in Hong Kong last week on suspicion of running the scams.
Two of the detained men, aged 49 and 54, are believed to be the masterminds.
Police found 17 bank books, 38 credit cards and HK$107,000 at the gang's base.
Mrs Kwok contacted the Hong Kong police after learning about the arrests from Hong Kong media reports.
Most of the victims were ethnic Chinese living in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and China, the Ming Pao Daily News reported.
Another New Zealand victim, Henry Chen, lost nearly $46,000 after paying supposed authorities in Hong Kong "advance taxes" to get a promised $1.5 million prize.
It was not until he was asked for a further $68,000 in taxes, because he was a New Zealand citizen and not a Hong Kong national, that Mr Chen suspected he had been defrauded.
He reported the matter to police in New Zealand and Hong Kong in 2008, and also went to National list MP Pansy Wong for help.
Mrs Wong, now the Minister for Ethnic Affairs, said a number of victims came to her for help and the scams were widespread.
The fraudsters made phone calls and sent emails in Chinese telling their targets they had won millions in a lottery or made huge returns from an investment.
The targets were then asked to pay an "administrative fee" to a bank account to collect their prize or returns.
The South China Morning Post reported that Hong Kong police alerted Australian authorities and also suggested that Hong Kong residents tell relatives living overseas about the scam.
Chan Yee-lai, superintendent of the Commercial Crime Bureau, said members of the gang befriended victims on social networking websites.
"They built friendships over time" before persuading the victims to make investments, she said.
The Ministry of Consumer Affairs' Scamwatch estimates 15 per cent of the New Zealand population have been victims of a scam over the internet or by other means, and Kiwis are conned out of $447 million yearly.
Sixty per cent of frauds are for $1000 or less but 13 per cent of the victims part with $20,000 or more.
Yesterday, national police headquarters said people should not respond to emails asking for money. Spokesman Jon Neilson said they should always make checks before sending any cash or goods.
"Once the money has gone overseas it would be virtually impossible to recover it as the scammers will have disposed of it."

As a winner of a Best Bully Sticks contest, It's A Pittie in Peotone, Illinois had a slew of nominations from devoted fans. This all-volunteer, all-foster shelter and dog rescue organization is all about giving Pit Bulls in Illinois a new "leash" on life.
"It's A Pittie Rescue brings years of volunteer experience to the world of rescue. We take in abused, neglected, and unwanted bully breeds of all ages."
Once the dogs are taken in, they receive medical care and It's A Pittie starts looking for these dog's forever homes.
"Our dogs are placed into loving, caring foster homes until they are adopted by their responsible new owners. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, micro-chipped, and showered with the love they so deserve."
One of efforts of It's A Pittie is education. They published a wonderful brochure full of facts that dispels myths associated with this great breed.
One of the beautiful yet heart-wrenching stories of It's A Pittie, is Ace, (seen at the left) the extremely mal-nourished pittie who hadn't eaten in three weeks. Being over a year old, he should have weighed 50 to 60 pounds, but only weighed 21. Through this rescue's great volunteer network, Ace made tons of progress!
This rescue is in the greater Chicago area and always is in need of volunteers. If you'd like to know how you can help, visit rescueapittie.org. Congratulations to this great rescue for winning treats from Best Bully Sticks!

So, there's a bunch of methods for text rendering with DX11. The ones I know of are:
- Sprite rendering. Pretty straightforward and well-known. Only con I see is the dynamic VB calculation each draw.
- Use D2D. You get a simple, HW accelerated API, but on Win7 means another DX10.1 device, sharing the BB, synchronizing, which basically takes the simple API and wraps it with not so nice looking code. Not sure if it has real performance gain over sprites.
- Use GDI+ to render text directly to the back-buffer. I assume performance will be bad, though I haven't tried it.
In terms of performance and code complexity, which one is better?
Is there another option I'm unaware of?
(And MS, why did you leave D2D/D3D11 interop out of Win7!?!?)

Already, we've seen HP hitting the brakes with its line of webOS devices, including the TouchPad, which happened to quickly become relevant after HP gave the thumbs up on slashing its price tremendously. Now, it looks as though RIM is facing the same situation as an analyst alleges that they're halting production with the PlayBook – with future tablet projects being canceled as well. Collins Stewart semiconductor analyst John Vihm wrote on a note, "We believe RIM has stopped production of its PlayBook and is actively considering exiting the tablet market. Additionally, our due diligence indicates that RIM has canceled development of additional tablet projects."
Recently, we've been seeing a handful of retailers across North America cutting the price of the BlackBerry PlayBook to as low as $299.99, which is a good $200 off from its normal sticker price of $499.99. Making matters worse, the news about contract manufacturer Quanta Computer cutting a number of factory workers last week has some foreboding implications this time around.
Granted that it's only speculation at this point, it goes to show how vital initial ventures are when it comes to new product launches – it's simply a do or die situation. Furthermore, the competition is increasingly becoming fiercer than ever, and when you look at what Amazon has recently announced, it'll be interesting to see how manufacturers come to the table in terms of pricing.
We've reached out to RIM regarding the situation at hand, but we're left simply waiting for a response at this point.

Sebastian, 31, was raised in Glastonbury, Conn., and Clearwater, Fla., in an average-height family. At the persistent encouragement of his middle-school physical education teacher, Sebastian joined his high school's wrestling team, which shaped his interest in competitive sports. He attended the University of South Florida, where he earned his bachelor of science degree in wellness leadership. During college, Sebastian and his sister adopted a lab/chow mix from the Humane Society, thereby inciting his passion for dogs.
Sebastian is very active in the performing arts. He first became involved in theater and then shifted his focus to TV and film, with a critical move to Los Angeles. During his time in L.A., Sebastian has worked at Shortywood Productions and also is involved with Shorty's Pit Bull Rescue.
Sebastian, often referred to as Shorty's right-hand man, has worked with Shorty for nearly seven years and prides himself on his organizational skills - something Shorty sometimes lacks! Once Shorty manages the financial part of a Shortywood deal, Sebastian handles many of the logistical details of the entertainment jobs and tries to ensure that things run smoothly. As pit bull rescue has become a bigger part of Shorty's life, Sebastian also has taken on more responsibility in the rescue business, by going on dog rescues, helping to find foster and permanent homes for needy dogs, and spreading pit bull awareness.
Shea, Sebastian's girlfriend of one year, is a physical therapist and a little person. Sebastian's social life is small, but his friendships are long-lasting. He has friends who are little people and of average height.
Sebastian is roommates with his co-worker Ronald, and the two have been good friends for many years. They often hang out together because of their similar interests in acting and fitness.

Ulrich Announces Budget Appropriations
Despite limited resources from the State, and a lack of declining federal stimulus dollars, City Councilmember Eric A. Ulrich is proud to announce the adoption of the city's budget for Fiscal Year 2011.
In response to the Mayor's proposed cuts to various city agencies, the Council restorations are in keeping with the most critical services in the interest of protecting children, maintaining public safety and keeping libraries open. As a result of yesterday's passage, more than 200 Administration Children's Services (ACS) positions, as well as 3,000 preventive slots will be restored. Library service, a long standing priority of Speaker Quinn and Councilmember Ulrich, will be preserved across the City at five days a week. The budget agreement between Mayor Bloomberg and the City Council also includes funding to avoid the closure of more than two dozen fire companies across the city.
Ulrich also announced funding for dozens of local community groups and programs throughout the 32nd District, along with 18 capital projects totaling $4.2 million.
Ulrich said, "Unlike Albany, the City of New York has once again passed an on-time, balanced budget that does not include any tax increases. Thanks to years of responsible budgeting and smart planning, the city's strong fiscal position has allowed us to avoid drastic cuts to areas that would have had a devastating impact on the lives of nearly every New Yorker."
Capital projects funded within District 32 include: Installation of guardrails along Cross Bay Boulevard's southbound approach to Broad Channel; Improvements at London Planetree Park, including a skate plaza, fitness equipment and refurbishment of the old basketball courts; Resurfacing and new fencing at the Rockaway Beach handball courts; Fifteen security cameras at John Adams High School; Sidewalk repair and tree planting throughout the district totaling $1.2 million.
Ulrich has also secured funding for technology projects at the following public schools: John Adams HS, MS 137, MS 202, MS 210, PS 108, PS 146, PS 317, PS 60, PS 63 and PS/MS 47. In addition, electrical upgrades at PS 207 and funding for a new science lab at PS 232 are included in the budget.
Through discretionary spending allocations, funding is also earmarked for the following community groups and programs that serve the district and borough:
Bridge to Life, Inc., Broad Channel Volunteers, Corporal John Ruoff American Legion Post No. 632, Disaster Chaplaincy Services, The Doe Fund, Federation of Hindu Mandirs, Forest Park Trust, Franklin K. Lane HS, Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation, Jewish Community Council of the Rockaway Peninsula (youth basketball program), Lindenwood Community Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty (MET Council), New Hamilton Beach Civic Association, Point Breezy Volunteer Fire Department, Queens Symphony Orchestra, Rockaway Music and Arts Council, Rockaway Partnership, Rockaway Point Volunteer Emergency Services, Rockaway Theatre Company, Roxbury Volunteer Emergency Services, Vietnam Veterans of America - Queens Chapter #32, West Hamilton Beach Volunteers, Woodhaven Intramural Soccer Club, Woodhaven Richmond Hill Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Broad Channel Athletic Club, The Cheer Foundation, Woodhaven Residents' Block Association, Millennium Development Corporation, Blessed Trinity Parish (for senior services), Catholic Charities Neighborhood Services (to support four local senior centers), Forest Park Senior Citizens Center, Jewish Association for Services for the Aged (JASA), Locust Grove Civic Association of Queens County, Queensboro Council for Social Welfare, Southeast Queens Multiservice Senior Citizens Center, St. Camillus Golden Age Club, St. Francis de Sales, St. Virgilius Golden Age, United Hindu Cultural Council of USA, Bobbi and the Strays, Howard Beach Columbus Day Foundation, Nativity BVM Youth Basketball League, New York Families for Autistic Children, New York Junior Tennis League, Our Lady of Grace (youth soccer camp), Ozone Howard Little League, Rockaway Artists Alliance, Rockwood Park Basketball League, South Queens Boys and Girls Club and Works Little League.
In addition, funding has been secured for SAT prep courses at John Adams, Franklin K. Lane, Scholars' Academy, Channel View School for Research, Robert H. Goddard High School of Communication Arts and Technology and Beach Channel High School. Other projects and programs include movie and family nights offered through the Parks Department, and 50 premium trash cans will be installed along 101 Avenue.
In all, Ulrich secured approximately $576,000 in discretionary funding to support local initiatives. This is almost double the amount of local funding the Councilmember secured in last year's budget. New York City's fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30.

The best health insurance you can buy is not what you pay for — it's what you do for yourself.
– Kenneth H. Cooper, M.D., M.P.H.
The VLCT Health Trust has long been committed to promoting a wellness culture in its member organizations and healthy behavior by individual subscribers. As of 2014, changes in Vermont's health insurance marketplace have affected the Health Trust's revenues, with the result that now only large municipalities (with 50 or more employees) that buy insurance by naming the VLCT Health Trust as their Broker of Record (BOR) are eligible to receive free access to the three most popular wellness services that most Vermont municipalities used to enjoy: onsite health screenings, onsite flu shot clinics, and Invest EAP (an Employee Assistance Program). Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont and CIGNA maintain various online resources, and links to these carriers are below.
If you have any questions about the current availability of wellness programs, contact Heidi Joyce, Senior Health Promotion Consultant, Risk Management Services.

I just bought my son a real clean 2000 Arctic Cat 120. It did not come with a manual. The only issue I see is that it does not run at low idle and dies. I have tried to adjust the idle but that does not seem to work. I have ordered a new fuel filter to install and will probably do a carb clean on it. Before I do a full carburetor cleaning, is it easy to leave the carb on and just drop the bowl and clean the main jet and nozzle?
I looked for instructions on how to pull the carb and rebuild it, but I can't find anything. Does anyone have the instructions on how to do this and/or how to tune the carb?
Thank You

On our 07 it's kind of a pain to get the carb off, but if it's the same setup, you just remove the airbox, linkage, springs, then you have to remove the carb stud that's closer to you, then you can work the carb out of there. It's easy to clean once it's off. If it's not idling though, you might just take out the pilot jet, spray and blow it and the passage way in the carb out and try that. It's located right on top of the carb, it's brass and has a slot and hole in it. Let me know if you need a pic.

I was going to take the carb off but then the carb studs got in the way (as was mentioned). I didn't feel like taking them (or one) off at this point so I took out the pilot jet and thoughly cleaned it a few times and blew it out with compressed air. I put the new fuel filter in and prior to putting everything back together I noticed the choke cable wasn't adjusted properly and didn't allow the choke to be fully turned off (thus keeping the butterfly from being completely open). So I adjusted that to where I thought it looked good. Same thing on the throttle cable...way too much slack...so I adjusted it along with the idle adjustment.
I put it all back together and gave it a pull with the choke on and it started on the second pull. Once warmed up, it idled perfectly on its own and ran awesome. Thanks for your input TNTFAGUY.

The team's top prospect, senior wide receiver Michael Floyd, benefited from a familiar face unleashing darts 40 yards downfield during position-specific drills, as current Carolina Panthers backup Jimmy Clausen traveled to South Bend to throw to Floyd for his official Pro Day.
"The reason I came back was for Mike," said Clausen. "He called me and asked me to come back to throw to him. Giving back to one of my best friends; I just said 'yes' and tried to get him the ball.
"We talk all the time," Clausen continued. "He wanted me to come out and throw to him. I just had to get the okay from Carolina (Panthers) and the coaches here."
Asked for areas in which he's seen improvement for Floyd, Clausen noted. "Getting in and out of his breaks. Learning how to run routes; obviously he knew how to run routes in high school. Getting in and out of his breaks and stay low. He's come a long way and seems to be doing really well."
"The biggest thing he needs to do is learn the playbook. You can't go out there if you don't know what you're doing. The second thing is work your tail off."
Floyd, who did not run the 40-yard dash or lift after a strong NFL combine in late February, ran both the 3-cone and shuttle drills (not yet available to the media). He had no doubt who he wanted throwing to him Tuesday morning.
"I just asked him if he could come throw for me. That was the only dude that I had, you know, that I had a good relationship with him," Floyd said of Clausen. "I knew he would come back to throw for me. He got the opportunity to make his dream come true to make the NFL; I just wanted his help to get to the top.
"It's just the chemistry between us. Real good friends…it's just the great relationship that we had."
The pair didn't miss a connection in our viewing period, the highlights included a 50-yard go-route that Floyd snared at full acceleration, and a deep out he engulfed before dragging both feet in front of his former teammates on the sideline bleachers. In fact, Floyd's only drop during the media session was the second pass in a series of drills without Clausen as the triggerman.
"He's one of the hardest workers I've ever seen and that's what this whole league is based upon, producing, and he's going to do a really good job." Clausen concluded of Floyd.

Finally, some truth in politics. I was overcome with a heady sense of elation when I heard Helen Clark describe Don Brash as a "corrosive and cancerous person in the political arena".
The calm, almost joyous manner in which she delivered her vituperative sound bite was superb.
This kind of candour is delightfully refreshing in politics. At last, I thought, Clark has fully metamorphosed into the forthright autocrat I always knew she could be.
That she believes Brash's policies and personality will cause so much harm to we, the people she loves, is admirably heartwarming.
Many people despair about the state of politics, who view the muckraking and sleaze as detrimental to the nation. I am not one of those persons.
I think it is incredibly entertaining. I suspect I am not alone in this.
Despite politicians and media squawking heads claiming that the public isn't interested in the torrid details of politicians' lives, internet traffic to NZ print media websites increased by 10 per cent in the days after the news of Brash's apparent indiscretion broke.
There was also an astounding 1300 per cent increase in internet searches about Don after the revelation of his supposed impropriety.
These searches were not people suddenly interested in his policies, but, judging by the search terms they used, were people titillated by the scandal. The political pages have become the purveyors of tittle-tattle and scuttlebutt and are all the better for it.
That more sleaze may come to light serves only to whet the appetites of those of us who were hoping political reporting could become as stimulatingly frivolous as the tabloid gossip over celebrities.
In this whole scintillatingly sordid affair, little can compete with the delightful sight of the delicate National Party flower that is Judith Collins, weeping over the revelations about her Don.
She hasn't provided such entertainment since she contributed to the development of the tic on the besieged David Benson-Pope's face that so embodied the physical manifestation of his wee crisis.
Don meanwhile, has stated that he will not descend to personal insults against anyone, especially those in the "most corrupt government the country has ever seen".
This is disappointing. Well-crafted venom delivered by the debonair Don would be terrific television.
Brash has said the public will see haughty Helen's words as a sign of desperation. I suspect they will see it as simply another part of the whole compelling debacle.
So, to those who wail self-righteously that the behaviour emanating from the Beehive is the worst they have seen in Parliament in decades, I say au contraire. It is politics at it's finest.
The pretence that political rivals get along at least civilly in public when they differ so radically in their ideological illogicalities is tiresome.
If opposing leaders don't feel that their opponent is cancerous and corrosive, and can't express themselves with such candour, one needs to question whether they are really doing their jobs.

She was loved, loathed and feared.
So aides of Margaret Thatcher expressed little surprise when Kiwi nurse Pip Easterbrook didn't want to work for the woman known as Britain's Iron Lady. Even aged 81, former English Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher frightened the 56-year-old mum from the other side of the world.
"I thought 'I'll get to meet her'. But, she was so nice. I got the job on the spot."
For a year from December 2006, Easterbrook worked as a nurse and companion for Thatcher, alongside fellow Kiwi, Kate Sawyer. Sawyer, who remained Thatcher's carer until the latter's death a year ago next month, has never spoken of her decade with the polarising former Tory leader.
Sawyer, who still lives in the UK, said Thatcher was a "wonderful lady" but she would never speak about their time together, as it would break patient confidentiality. "She was also my very good friend. It's just something very special to me, that relationship I had with her."
Easterbrook said Thatcher told her that her years at Number 10 were the best of her life.
Thatcher, who survived an IRA assassination attempt, lived behind bullet-proof glass and needed permission to open a window.
Security extended to hiring.
"They chose New Zealanders because we're not political."
Easterbrook suggested an Irish friend take over when she left, but was told no one from the Emerald Isle would get that close to Thatcher.
As well as meeting a parade of peers and politicians, Easterbrook listened as visiting former United States first lady Barbara Bush spoke about the Iraq War.
"She was saying, 'George [W. Bush] has no guilt about that, he did the right thing'."
Thatcher's best gift to her was to keep an open mind, Easterbrook said, and not judge people before you know them.

So one of my old claims that seemed to strike the commentariat as odd or perhaps even bat boy worthy was that taxes don't really matter that much for most aggregate outcomes.
Now there have been a rash of papers by big name economists showing that taxes don't matter on various levels. Indeed, even Alan Meltzer is pointing to studies showing how taxes don't matter for trend inequality.
As the nearby chart from the Roine and Waldenström study shows, the share of income for the top 1% in these seven countries generally follows the same trend line. That means domestic policy can't be the principal reason for the current spread between high earners and others. Since the 1980s, that spread has increased in nearly all seven countries. The U.S. and Sweden, countries with very different systems of redistribution, along with the U.K. and Canada show the largest increase in the share of income for the top 1%.
All of this is good, but I want to come back to what I think is an important grounding of all of this. Causal empiricism just didn't support the notion that taxes are a big deal.
The reason is that people aren't talking about them in a way that they would talk about something that was a big deal. Oh, they complain sure but that's not what I mean.
So, for example if you asked someone – why didn't you move to San Francisco or conversely, why did you move to Raleigh. Plenty of people will say, the cost of living. Indeed, it's a meme. Everyone knows that its cheaper to live in the South and this is a reason you might consider living there when you other wise wouldn't.
This is a strong clue that prices might be influencing folks location choices. And I mean clue. Its not definitive but it should make your ears perk up and say, "hmm is what is going on here what everyone thinks is going on."
However, what the equivalent tax thing?
When you ask why didn't you take that job at the bank do people say, well you know the tax bracket thing?
There is not even an easy way to describe not working because the after tax income made it not worth it. If there are no terms for it, then that's a clue people aren't talking about it, which in turn means that they aren't likely doing it.
Now, maybe we could have missed something and people are talking about it but in some sort of subtle way or in a way where they are confusing causes. Sure, I think those things are real possibilities. However, then someone should be able to find those phrases or terms. To my knowledge no one has.
On the other hand.
And, this is also very important.
There are a ton of phrases and terms for not working because of the welfare state: "Put in my time"; "Hanging in there 'til 63"; "Mooching off the system"; "Welfare queens"; "Mailbox money" etc.
This is a thing that people talk about. That is a clue that it probably exists or at least that they mean to be talking about something. What that is, we would want to check and be sure.

BPF's Limitations Detecting Heartbleed Traffic
BPF's Limitations Detecting Heartbleed Traffic
In a previous blog post, I wrote about a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) rule that was able to detect a specific version of the attack methodology employed by the proof-of-concept attack. That BPF filter was created with a very narrow focus on a particular set of bytes inside of individual packets, which themselves were indicative of an attack in progress in the format employed by the released POC.
The tight construction of the BPF rule meant two things: (1) it was very resilient against false positives (that is, it could only trigger on true attack packets issued by the POC tool); unfortunately, (2) it is not capable of identifying the attack packets that have been created after the POC was released, when coders began toying with the attack and changing the packets, even slightly, to evade detection by filters like the one we and other folks published.
Part of the problem lies in the limitations of BPF syntax, which basically specifies the binary data values of individual bytes within a packet at offsets from the beginning of the packet. It's a bit like giving someone directions to the bank, but always using the same starting point and by using dead reckoning (go two blocks west then five blocks east, etc.). A more complete treatment of the BPF filter method was composed by PJ Malloy of Riverbed, published on his blog.
The reality of BPF filtering is that it is a wholly unsatisfactory method for the task of finding every conceivable permutation of the attack traffic which may cross the wires. Change a single byte in the attack packet, and a tightly-written BPF filter rule will miss that attack; Write a looser, more flexible BPF rule and you end up alerting on false positives.
Limiting the BPF rule to specific ports is also a conundrum. If you write a BPF filter rule that looks just at traffic on port 443, you will miss the attacks against SSH on port 22, or on devices with management ports on port 8082 or 11344, for example. Alternatively, you could use DPI to determine which ports were used for SSL, and craft complex OR statements in BPF syntax, but then it gets even more complex, which could also increase the likelihood of inadvertent syntax errors in an already complex BPF rule, or a false positive result.
To that end, the Security Analytics team has been working on deep packet inspection (DPI) tweaks and rules that will permit the DPI engine in Security Analytics to identify not only the initial attack packets, but also the responses, regardless of the attack method employed.
It's also worth mentioning that once the exploit is used during the encrypted part of the session, then DPI methods won't work as the encryption will prevent matching on a signature. To be able to check for a malformed TLS Hearbeat, you would need to be a man-in-the-middle on the SSL session, decrypting and re-encrypting the traffic.
The update to Security Analytics will give customers the ability to not only detect fresh attacks (both in the encrypted and unencrypted form), but also to retrospectively determine when attacks occurred in the past. Security Analytics can today reveal any data that might have leaked as a result of the unencrypted form of the attacks, and, where the SSL visibility appliance is installed, what data might have leaked as a result of attacks inside the encrypted packets.
In addition, the update also includes the ability to index the serial numbers of SSL certificates, so customers of Security Analytics will be able to search for critical certificates that might have been revoked -- and all of that will be re-indexed from the existing packet data stored on the appliance, retrospectively.
So, stay tuned, and keep an eye on this blog for further updates.

The Kingdom of Spain includes the Canary Islands, the Balearics and two autonomous North African cities, Ceuta and Melilla. The Spanish also lay claim to a few rocks and islets on the Moroccan coast, including the unpopulated Isla Perejil (Parsley Island), which was briefly occupied by Moroccan soldiers in 2002. The soldiers were, in turn, captured by Spanish commandos, with support from the navy and the air force. The island is now deserted once more.
It is estimated that 761,000 Britons live permanently in Spain.
Spain shares its national motto - Plus Ultra ("Further Beyond") - with Sir Francis Bacon, the Colombian navy and Malden Catholic High School in Massachusetts.
In the eighth century, virtually all of the Iberian peninsula fell under the control of the Umayyad Islamic empire. Although this dominance slowly receded over subsequent centuries, mass conversions meant that Muslims outnumbered Christians in the Muslim-controlled areas. The full reconquering of Spain by Catholic monarchs was not completed until 1492.
The 1936 nationalist military revolt that touched off the Spanish civil war was begun with the broadcast of the words, "Over all of Spain, the sky is clear." General Francisco Franco's first move was to seize control of Spain's Moroccan territory as his launch pad.
Spanish flu, the name commonly given to the influenza strain that killed between 20 million and 100 million people in the 1918 pandemic, actually originated in Kansas in the US. Spain was merely the country it had spread to when it first came to widespread public attention.
Every January 24 in the tiny Spanish village of Manganeses de la Polvorosa, they throw a goat out of the church tower to celebrate the feast of St Vincent the Martyr. Well, not every year - it was banned for being cruel in 1992, but reinstated in 1998 after protests by villagers. Then the practice was banned by the Spanish government in 2001. So actually Manganeses de la Polvorosa is now best known as the place where they don't throw a goat out of the church tower any more. But they used to, and they might again. Just so you know, the goats didn't die - the villagers caught them in a blanket - but they didn't exactly volunteer for the mission either.
Contrary to what you might have heard, the rain in Spain falls mainly on the northern Atlantic coast. Here the average annual rainfall is between 800-1500mm, compared with a national average of just 640mm. It is not at all uncommon for Mediterranean Spain to receive less than 250mm.
The Spanish Armada that set off to invade England in 1588 consisted of 130 ships, 8,000 sailors and 18,000 soldiers. Only 67 ships and 10,000 men managed to make it back to Spain.
Spanish people are christened with two surnames: their father's first surname and their mother's first surname, with the father's first surname coming first. As a result, only the male surnames survive the process.
When you answer the phone in Spain you say "Digame" which means "Tell me."
The term "Spanish practices", which refers to long-standing but unofficial working arrangements between employees and employers, such as routinely paying overtime for normal working hours, has nothing to do with Spain. In fact no one seems to know exactly why it's called that.
Juan Carlos I has been king and head of state since Franco's death in 1975. He is also the hereditary king of Jerusalem.
The Spanish Inquisition was an ecclesiastical tribunal set up by the Spanish monarchy in 1478 to police the orthodoxy of recent converts to Christianity, mostly Jews desperate to escape persecution. Only later did the Inquisition take to burning Protestants and witches. It was not finally abolished until 1834.
The word tapas means lid in Spanish. According to legend the original tapas were slices of bread that drinkers put over their glasses to keep the flies out of their sherry.

Date of Stay: May, 2011
This campground has excellent facilities. We arrived approximately 20 minutes before check in and were told to leave the park as our site was still occupied. Understood this as park is small but there was space in front of check in. When we came back site was still not open and occupants were visiting with neighbors who were also leaving. When site was ready park manager did not want me to use the pull through but again leave the park and back in from the exit lane. He was afraid I would go on the grass and damage a sprinkler head. I complied as I just wanted to get parked. He has to help back you in so you do not get to close to the grass from your steps. He backed us too close to power station and our slide could not be opened fully. I again pulled forward and corrected this. The lady in the office was strictly business and not friendly. I would not stay there again.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
Paid for a premium site for Wi-Fi but it was only available near the lodge. The lodge was booked for private parties both nightx we were here. Site was paved but not level. Recommend cheapest site that you will fit.
