What's the use of a spin room when we have social media? Last night, the Twitterverse turned its eyes towards the vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan.
You've probably already heard all of the "malarkey" from partisans representing both parties, but here's a look at the lighter side of last night's important debate.
Early on, many viewers thought Biden was faring better than President Barack Obama's widely-criticized performance last week. Andy Borowitz, author of The Borowitz Report, tweeted:
POLL: By Wide Margin, Democrats Want Biden in All Remaining Debates #debate#vpdebate Andy Borowitz (@BorowitzReport) October 12, 2012
As discussion turned to Iran, Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu became the hot topic of discussion. Commentary magazine's Alana Goodman observed:
You know what Biden needs? A bomb chart. Alana Goodman (@alanagoodman) October 12, 2012
Michael Koplow, program director at the Israel Institute, noted that:
Picking "Bibi" in #VPDebate bingo was clearly the right move on my part. Michael Koplow (@mkoplow) October 12, 2012
After Biden claimed to have known Israeli's Prime Minister for decades, New Yorker writer Philip Gourevitch, wondered:
Is Biden allowed to tell what was said when he and POTUS and Bibi were in that hottub together - or is that classified too? Philip Gourevitch (@PGourevitch) October 12, 2012
Of course, some of the Twitter observations had nothing to do with the debate, but the physical appearance of the candidates. Some tweets referenced Biden's great dental work:
#VPDebate Joe doing good. Joe's dentist doing better. dan (@danfriedmanme) October 12, 2012
I'm told Joe Biden was just a small-time hood before Batman dropped him in the vat of chemicals that left him with apermanent grin. Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) October 12, 2012
While others were impressed with Ryan's forehead.
You could plant carrots in the deep crevices on Paul Ryan's forehead. Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) October 12, 2012
Aside from political views, there was also a large generation gap between the two candidates. Jeffrey Goldberg, correspondent for The Atlantic, predicted:
Joe Biden is about two minutes away from putting this guy in a headlock and giving him a nugie. Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) October 12, 2012
As the night went on, many Tweeters saw Biden turn serious, reeling off facts as Ryan circled around questions. Ari Melber, a correspondent for The Nation, gave some kudos to Ryan:
To be fair, Ryan does have one position on abortion, while his boss has five. Ari Melber (@AriMelber) October 12, 2012
Overall, many felt the Dems regained some momentum, while Ryan held his ground. Alex Koppelman of The New Yorker had one of the most astute observations: of the night.
HOW ARE THEY TWEETING? MT @joebiden: VP: "Look at my record—it's been all about the middle class. They're the people who grow this country." Alex Koppelman (@AlexKoppelman) October 12, 2012
Perhaps musician Josh Groban tweeted it best though:
Everyone has an opinion. That's awesome. #vote josh groban (@joshgroban) October 12, 2012

This week on the Green Street Podcast Ben Rohrbach talks with the Celics new head coach, Brad Stevens, about his thoughts and expectations for his first season with the organization.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Excuse the green street -- What sort of -- and a quarter point. Really do something. Welcome to the green street podcasts. I'm -- roared back for WEEI dot com. And this week's guest needs no other introduction. Then his name. Brad Stevens head coach of the Boston Celtics. Here that I think you the same age as my brother so so everybody in Boston net in my generation at least his. I think is jealous of your position right now. Must be kind of surreal. Have views that he started to get used to hearing Brad Stevens head coach of the Boston Celtics yet. You know I don't. I haven't I haven't yet. Used to it it is surreal. It'll be in the head coach at Butler was surreal. Any chance to experience some of the things we. We did there were also real. Just been really blessed and lucky. All the way through this thing. -- I kind of like to to start from the beginning so fuel. Humor me with a little true or false about your background here. I was reading this morning he used to watch tapes of basketball games before going to kindergarten -- I don't remember that. -- with the fifths and you brought grilled cheese sandwiches to your friends basketball courts and you wouldn't have to stop for lunch. Now that's actually a little bit I don't know where yet. -- that -- abroad since the a but it but his mom always made imports. And that. Reggie Miller was here. You're kind of favorite player growing up there they're at least in high school. Yeah sure yes sure I think you know I think when you grow appointments. You know outside of the city and Indianapolis and the pacers really started. They had made good teams and and when he was drafted in the in the ninety's. You know when -- in high school and college. They're great city. Eateries and I wore number 31 and know that. Death. And -- in your first dates with your way if was an hour and a half try to -- a high school basketball game. Is that -- correct yes. It might have been a little longer than an hour perhaps sound about that they we went -- -- -- law. In the Anderson Indiana which is one of the great. High school gymnasiums. That I've ever been and and we gadgets and watched north central place in -- Great game. Lot of style to guys on the court Anderson squeaked it out at the end. Cool cool and so you you quit your job to join Butler has a volunteer assistant in 2000. And how did your way feel about that at the time I'm sure it looks good mama. Well we were just stating that the -- -- dating for awhile so. She was actually on the and -- whether or not she was gonna try to go to law school and it was something that her. Her mom had really always encouraged her to do in her mom and just been diagnosed -- those sit with. With cancer so. It was a time where we both decided. Just go for it and go do it you actually went to the case western reserve in Cleveland. And where where she was probably get a chance to live at home for a couple years -- the law school. Started out vote. And did you work and an Applebee's. Is that correct. I did not I was going to work I was going to work. Added Applebee's. Literally that day I got hired full time. -- -- Well that's not asks the humps so you know there's there's so many great moments from your Butler Butler career. You know looking I guess it's it's probably. Two recent to kind of look back Kumble what do you think your lasting memory will be from from your time there. My memory will be completely and totally senator around the people. The people who I am. Will be forever indebted to you know the players the coaches. Administrators. Just all of the people that made it's such -- great experience and you know I you know I got so much more out of that place than they did that day. You know it's just a great place it was a great place to work. But it was made that way by the people. And I mean you vote you've accomplished so much so soon you. You were the youngest coach since Bobby -- to reach to file for. You -- some early praise from John Wooden you get a call from President Obama. Appeared on David Letterman and threw out the first pitch at a cubs game and that's pretty pretty solid there did you ever imagine any of this. Happening you know when your kid in in the Indian grown up. No. No elected and ever imagined it that is I didn't really. Three. Being a coach so. That I had this is like something that was an ultimate goal either lose but it is day. Did you know at the right word mean there's only one work or it's surreal. Yeah yeah I can imagine. And so. I guess as to the Celtics to -- Did you ever consider any other job offer over the last few years was the NBA even even on your mind before all of us. Considered. Certainly considered. But it never was never was able to. To go through it do it never felt like you lose at the end of the day didn't feel like it was the right time right. You know right -- whatever the case may be. But this this was -- perfect combination of everything it. You know I feel really good about the fact that. You know all of it all of it was done at Butler but more importantly all the people that are there now and people that are in place and and and what. They're gonna continue to do and continues to. You know the greatness of they'll continue to happen. So there was if there was a good time it was probably. You know the time was now. Says that you know a great opportunity obviously presented itself. Absolutely. And it. So what can you take from from kind of the Butler way is it it's just sometimes described it and apply it you know to the pro level. Well I think any organization any business that your if you if you don't have consistency. Among what's sure. Goals are -- common goals or common aspirations. -- collective buying it in -- and be successful and so I think that that's number one. I think that that's what gave us a chance. Was that everybody was in it together. And even know their world a lot of people with that are you know home. You know individual. Desires. They were able to put those aside for the betterment one. And that's hard that's a hard thing to do -- it's not all that doesn't always happen on -- in October November December January but by march it was always that way there. And you know I think that that's something that you know will strive towards in these guys have already. Shown in I think at the end of the day. You know. That's the thing about the Celtics that really stands out mean there's a pride about. About the way that these. That the players of the past the teams of the past. And copies that is successful that speaks for itself but there's there's a way that they went about their business and the way that they cared about one another that I think she needs. Move absolutely. And your seat kind of a year about coaching trees -- influences who who would you say. Kind of influenced you. As you kind of cuts heard coaching in it and even. You know as you kind of became -- a veteran coach. Moment three biggest influences without question nice clothes are very callers that -- and public letter B I think that. Those guys who all were and one program Butler at different times at all. Very different personalities and all very successful in all. All -- -- communicating the big picture. And I think that that's some of that that just stood out in those guys all. Wouldn't be it where they have without those guys. And the thing -- the three things that the key to -- hear most often about your coaching style are. A calm demeanor a fierce competitive streak can't and you know that that statistical analysis. -- nine guests. -- what's something people might not know about your coaching stuff. I don't know it's all been pretty blown out this list that does that make everybody sorry talked about everything up. I think. May be more so all those things just the commitment to the daily process. Believe in the improvement improving every day and in -- more standards results. And how do you feel about the term players' coach and and how would you describe yourself and in relation to that. Kind of you know I don't know if it's -- the real thing that you know it's certainly something people talk about. Well I think. The bottom line is. Is that I think refers to somebody who's willing to not only get the template but it really about -- -- that people are on the roster and and I do feel that way I'd go that way I want I want them to be. If you really good about out. You know where they are. That they are putting their signature on their work increasing of that. -- Can you tell us a little bit. And drew can and and and how you guys have used statistics it to kind of not -- only evaluate. Opponents but also developed. You know develop your own guys and provide feedback to them about tendencies and that sort of thing. Well I think there's a lot of elementary stuff that has been. You know certainly disgusted -- just the level of depth that would guys like drew and then there's there's other guys in this business certainly think like demand and very -- and in that regard -- -- -- It's it's certainly longer. Longer confident that the short -- view and it's one of the things that I think is neat about this. This level is just the access to all the different resource is that. That they have. And certainly very intriguing to consider everything would put together it. Who. And how important was it to use to kind of maintain some consistency consistency within the organization lists assistants like. You know Jamie onion and jailer or not and I guess for now -- and -- And and also adding a veteran mind like Ron Adams are you excited about the staff set and I guess it second. Hope for a I don't know for a officially. Commenting on anybody. Anybody additionally just yet -- need apart but the qualifier that the whole. Not much Michael and hiring staff is is to hire. You know intelligent hard working humble guys. That are really driven by the process really enthusiastic about it -- I think that. You know I've been very fortunate that this in the place that attracts those kinds of people and you know starting with today in Jamie is homer. My mom. And I guess. I'm not sure how that the timing all played out but I am assuming. Obviously Doc Rivers and and probably Kevin and Paul were were on their way out when you accepted the position but. You know -- as an outsider at the time when that was going on. You know what did you -- and it was obviously all over the news what did you think of that. Whole deal with the Celtics and and did you have any opinion on at the time. That you know what I I had spoke in the Danny. Maybe you know once or twice before I saw that stuff come across. You know I had an idea that some of those some of those things. Not Doc Rivers forums are soccer part I didn't speak to until after that happened obviously he's -- but the Paul and Kevin part. I did. So after -- collapsed he would actually called me and talked about it -- in the this is lab -- on this week it was draft week. In any -- does -- other things that that may be coming down the -- as well it was going to be a busy week for his victory to talk later on -- So that's when and I saw. And heard about you know to Evans. Paula obviously. Stated such terrific things for this place. To really amazing. What they were what they were. Able to do what they're able to accomplish in the -- two of the best you know that ever played here and you know but I knew that that was coming. You know -- and I accepted the job and it was a formality by that point -- the job so. You know that that added that did have any any impact in accepting or. Yeah and who must be exciting it you know in some regard to. To kind of start from scratch and it and see if you can kind of carve out your own. Your own thing went without. You know something so established I guess. Yes sure. And obviously -- that the college level I think you know education and for your players what was something that was extremely important. To you. So. And now at the pro level or one of the most important factors. Of players at this level you know earning earning playing time in your rotation or you know kind of earning your trust. You know I think number one is how do you protect our team with your -- -- -- your commitment level of the show were trying to do. There's a minimum level -- ability goes in the making this thing successful -- -- the other intangibles that are. You know certainly extremely important and maybe -- -- the advantage in you know low possession game so you. You have to have that middle levels and it's coached those intangibles the best you can and the guys that combine the two best usually play. Sure that I mean makes sense for life. Would you saying you have a system that players fit into lower or did the players kind of determine. The system. Yet they -- more the latter I'd say that you find it especially now -- mean. This is these guys that are here and and we need figure out the system it's the best. And and much was was native you know how will the new coach it was Raj on Rondo but it I think. You know you guys actually have a lot in common in terms of kind of an academic approach to the game. How has your relationship been with with Rondo in the early going and knowing you you've met -- at least once and. Yeah I've been great. You know and I think Raj I would -- this only you know only get a chance once in person. Over the protects people and so like we go together really well. I do think there's a lot of shared characteristics of the sort of work. -- And that as far as you know whether any health health status updates for rather -- orchards honed her. You know I think. Rondo both those guys first of all are continuing to work and the work hard and it -- is actually not in -- -- and others. You know procedures. Pretty much a daily basis have Nazis. Raj jobs that we -- -- but every report again from both. From both is that there really in the right direction. -- And you know obviously at this point you you have too many guys on the roster have it. Any decisions been made up on player personnel are or will training camp kind of be the determining factor there. You know I think I think. You know it's kind of outside in my my -- him. Economic I think we'll be consulted. In what tactics as a consultant in net in that arena you know I trusted. That -- any changes and you know his staff world rule make great decisions and that is in great position to be successful. And and I think. That I heard didn't Nolan Smith has been invited to camp to do you know of anybody else. You know that's not on that 79. -- -- And that. I guess Rondo seems like the only real lock to be in the starting lineup puts which is this kind of some interest being exciting. Position battles. Between Avery Bradley and Courtney Lee -- green Gerald Wallace and and that kind of laundry list of the bigs do you have have you given much -- says to what -- starting five might look -- Or how that might shake out. No I really don't give that a lot of side general. And one of the reasons lies because you don't necessarily. Always star or. You know the five guys that are finishing and you don't start five guys that maybe the best by -- you may start. The best couple and in the guys that compliment. Despite as she goes through the the early season you know I think that's why some guys in this league you play in a long time and may be. Less style that the others as they figured out how to become ordinary guys to the best players and so. Obviously got it is the best ones -- to separate themselves which they will do with the in training camp and you know although there. -- I'm not sure you know what most of your time has been dedicated to over the last month but I imagine you've done. Some studying up on the returning players up on the roster. Have you have you looked into it you know any player combinations that that stood out from many analysis there. Or what you what you like about guys that term at least we're on the team last year. Yeah I mean that's what do did they -- -- and so yeah there's all kinds of those things stand. You know I don't think it would be appropriate necessary he would specifics. Well I think it but it sure. At the end of the day there's there's a lot of guys. That compliment each other well have played well together in the past and there's a lot of actions of paper and it. Really suit their skills well and so will try to you know you know we won't reinvent the wheel with those and try to add things it again. Is the players we have that. And -- and obviously. Kelly -- lend bank you know was tremendous senate and so press sees. You know earned a contract with the team -- it. It's trio who who kind of stood out to you watching some overly cute in that in the time that you were down there. About both those guys were you know proceeded got it and a -- game you know games not really going your way. Can he can Sparky. Did the defense they played the -- In -- balls. He would say is base -- point guard like his game I think he does a lot of good things. And analytic. Agreed with you clinical. You know played as well as anybody that I saw. All of this -- early. And very versatile player those -- think the game those. Communicate the game and I think he'll be I think -- be a quick study. And in you know I think is going to be important that he is expected that we could really use it is the things he brings to the table sooner or later. Read that you end up kind of along those lines I know. Doc loved his veterans. You know even the guys up on the bench the guys that he couldn't. He knew we could rely on -- but you have a pretty young roster. You know in your opinion. How important is it is live game action too with two young players development. I think it's important. I think that -- -- a little overrated. You have to perform. In practice you. To be able to perform in the game there are some people that that do you think -- are. You know that -- -- would be gamer. But you know take. You know if you don't bring it in your preparation if you don't spend time -- your preparation if you don't work on hero game steady your opponent. Commit to however you'd teams playing and you'll have a ceiling on yourself. Think you know at the end of the day you -- in her. Guys that won't accept the ceiling. And that will just continue to strive to be the very best that they can be. Yeah and that. -- is why it's -- too quickly run through a few names and and do little word association live with some of the more intriguing guys I guess for the for this coming year. If you wouldn't mind so X. I guess starting with Jeff Green. You know what do you know about them and kind of you know what are you excited about him. I think he's these -- really count the guy I think is really good person. You know get a chance noble little bit sat down with him at some games in Orlando talked on the phone tax of them. Have heard nothing but great things from the people that have been around and around his career. So public support work well. And that and the Avery Bradley. You know obviously a dynamic athlete really hard worker he's been in boss for the better part of the time and I've been as well also. -- -- spent some time with him like his demeanor like his work ethic I think he's got you know again good young player with a high upside. Yes absolutely. Ands and no Linux. I mean you touch on a little bit to vote. You know his summer -- performance put. You know how oh how important do you see him being this year and and what kind of impact do you think he'll have. Well I think he you know he can dribble pass shoot seventy. The very vague description. He can -- -- so many things. -- can put the ball or pass of Peter handy -- -- supposed to shoot it can run it issues its basic shoot and he's got all kinds of opportunities to affect the game. And you know I think. You know there there are many guys that that that multi dimensional. Yes. I think. Danny tells them a seven foot -- -- quarterback you know he's had you don't see too many have those in the weeks. Hum. And another guy's done. I personally don't know anything about what and I don't know how much. Anybody does -- -- -- cyber Ronnie I don't know how much people have seen of them around here but Tom. But I think people are excited just because that anybody left had to get cites people. Yes skilled guy. Can shoot the ball away from the basket can also scored in the post. It obviously is is that well coached is you know I have seen him only on film. I have spent some time in communication with him and you know we're looking -- to get them over here. He has obviously guy with size. They give you some flexibility at both ends of the court. And and leaving an -- that when I reached out to people on Twitter for questions. Allow other responses that I got back. Senator around big man rotations. That have you have you given much side about oh how that might look. And know people love a potential sellinger. -- a combination. And it. Have you given much thought to kind of guys were paired together in it and how that might play out. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I don't know -- answer that that's that's. I I think about it all the time and you know rule again. Some of that stuff he's got to be careful with Italian justice side now what's gonna happen you have to let. -- the last performance tell you what's happened a little bit you know you can't just predetermined everything in on anything. Again you don't know how certain guys are gonna play together you don't know who's gonna come back to eat shape you don't know how they're going to. Perform once training camp began and so. I think there at the end of the day -- you know communicated its best to be ready. When that time comes of them it's about maximize that time and support as well yeah. Now that's a great point. I guess this is the hard question what -- who would you say to people who. Who think it's best to quote unquote tank this season and then and go for the draft picks that you know obviously as a coach. That's that's the furthest thing from your mind I would guess. No question no question it is couldn't be. I'd never stand. A -- think about it and it's never been. There have been part of my vocabulary its service part of the players in the locker room look at -- anybody in this building I think we've. We have. You know it's one of those things that we -- gonna try to be the very best we can be every single day it's part of the process it's part of the way it. I believe and do appearances he -- to place your standard every single day. Along those lines with what would you say your goals are for the season's biggest you know win or lose. What do you want people says to remember this team -- at the end of of the 2013 fourteen season. So my goal is to win the next game one possession. Mean that's -- have any other goals never been a -- guy did have a goal it. Have Butler. Our goals were always to get better day it would the next game one -- That was and so. That's -- try to do. Again that's part of being very process oriented. -- Well I guess hopefully the next time my President Obama calls you you're raised in the eighteenth banner for the Celtics guest -- Fifty. That all we're. He's exactly. Well thank you so much for it for coming on it's it's really been enlightening. Thank you.

Report: Regis Regal German Sheperds Cindy & Clark Kelly.
Attached is a copy of a letter we filed with the BBB on 8-13-08 regarding our puppy. She had severe hip displasia and had to be put down at just over one year. Regis Regal is an unethical breeder and as an F rating with the BBB. Dog Lovers: Beware! Letter to BBB 8-13-08
We purchased a puppy from Regis Regal in September of 2007. Unfortunately, we didn't do any research on the breeder since they were locals. All through our contact with them, (Cindy & Clark Kelly) we heard how sick she was and all about their problems. We truly felt sorry for them. I guess that's why we didn't get a contract when we paid $2130.00 for the dog. For six months we tried to get the contract to no avail. They had all kinds of excuses and promises.
After seeing our 8 months old puppy limping, we saw our vet and he determined she had severe hip displasia. He referred us to a surgical specialist. This doctor recommended a complete hip replacement at the cost of $11,600.00 for both hips and months of rehab.
Cindy and Clark finally returned our calls, asking what we wanted. I told them we wanted a refund because the dog would need medical attention the rest of her life. They then stated absolutely not because that was not their policy as stated in the contract which was to replace the puppy. We said we didn't want another puppy from them. (How could we agree to a contract if we never saw or signed the contract) Her last words to me were: You don't have a contract so what can you do about it?
Their internet ad states they have a complete guarantee on all their puppies including health, temperament and personal satisfaction of the buyer. They also continue to breed the same dogs that produced our defective puppy. In my opinion, they are nothing but a puppy mill and should be stopped.

Exhibit: Gregory Crewdson: Fireflies
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.23-05-2014 12:00:00 24-08-2014 12:00:00 America/New_York Exhibit: Gregory Crewdson: Fireflies | Tues.-Sun., 10am-4:30pm With his Fireflies series of photographs, Gregory Crewdson frames that fleeting moment when the sun slips away and the beguiling insects begin their electric dance. From one image to the next, there is a multiplicity of movement, a sense of the unexpected and the uncanny. The intensity of light is generated from the riveting insects, balanced by the waning sun. Moving into total darkness, the landscape fades away and lightening bugs become the focal point. Light is a pivotal element in Crewdson's large oeuvre and is masterfully controlled and scripted in other series such as Twilight or Dream House. Yet here he launches us into a balmy summer evening by capturing the fireflies' spontaneous sparkle. In its simplicity and directness, this series is a departure from the large-scale photographs for which Crewdson is known. It was created in 1996, when Crewdson was living alone in his family's cabin in Becket, Massachusetts. That summer, he ventured out each evening with camera in hand to observe the fireflies' mysterious mating ritual. At the end of August, he moved on to other projects. Ten years later, he revisited the series with renewed interest, and began to print a total of 61 images. A selection of the black-and-white prints was exhibited in 2006 with a limited-edition catalogue. This is the first time the entire Fireflies series has been shown all together in one exhibition. The acclaimed photographer has exhibited extensively throughout the world. This year, the series Beneath the Roses is on view at Museum of Image and Sound, Rio de Janiero, Brazil. The 2012 film Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters documents the remarkable process of making this series. His works are in significant public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He divides his time between New York City and his studio in Western Massachusetts. ON view through Aug. 24. http://www.nymetroparents.com/2015neweventinfo.cfm?id=167687 Wave Hill - Glyndor Gallery Wave Hill - Glyndor Gallery

When James McKenna took a job with North Shore Savings & Loan while in his 20s, he did just about everything. He opened deposit accounts, made and collected loans, picked up the mail at the post office and even shoveled snow off the sidewalk.
In 1975, when it came time to appoint a new president, it would have been hard for the board of directors to find someone more dedicated to North Shore's success. McKenna was chosen president of the financial institution — now called North Shore Bank and based in Brookfield instead of Shorewood — and put it on course to become the fifth-biggest bank headquartered in Wisconsin, with assets of nearly $1.8 billion.
Along the way, he's navigated through five U.S. recessions and made acquisitions, expanding North Shore's market to all of eastern Wisconsin and far northern Illinois. He has served in civic leadership positions with organizations such as the Milwaukee Public Museum and the Milwaukee County Zoological Society, and for two years met periodically in Washington, D.C., with Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve Board to offer community banker input — an "intimidating" experience he said was a highlight of his career.
McKenna sat down recently with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to talk about his bank, the financial industry and more. Here is an edited version of that conversation.
Q.You became a bank president as a very young man. Did you have a guiding principle when you started running the bank?
A. The whole purpose of any enterprise is to compete and excel. The dynamics of the marketplace are continually changing, especially in our business. But that is the driving thrust — to compete and excel.
Q.You've seen interest rates at extreme highs and now at extreme lows. Which is worse?
A. In my career, I've seen five recessions. And the beauty about the community bankers here in Wisconsin is we are a very resilient group, and we move on. So you deal with the highs and lows. You adjust accordingly and move on.
Q.What do you think about the current regulatory environment for banks?
A. It's going to take size to compete because of what's descended on the business, courtesy of our friends in Washington.
Q.More consolidation?
A. Absolutely. It takes a certain size to play because of compliance, internal audit, etc. The ironic part of the plethora of new regulations is Dodd-Frank was sold on the basis we've got to deal with "too big to fail." They've only gotten bigger.
Q.North Shore Bank has remained strong since the recession — enough so that you were able to take over two failed banks in the state. How did you stay out of trouble during the economic downturn?
A. We're very conservative. We've never done subprime lending. We don't believe in it. We're just a very conservative institution. If you run with the bulls, you are going to get gored. We don't run with the bulls.
Q.You've said in the past that bankers in boom states have said banking in Wisconsin seems boring. Is it?
A. We love to be bored. I don't need to be excited in the banking business. Also, we've stayed in our territory. We've stayed close to home. We understand the people. We understand the markets.
Q.How has computer technology changed your business?
A. Dramatically, dramatically. What you're dealing with in the banking business because of technology is self-directed people who want a brand experience. And therefore our approach has to be dramatically different from the past. In the past, what the banking business would do was to carpet bomb with media print ads. And because of technology, you can't do that today.
Go into any branch of any bank today and you don't see the lobby traffic you once saw. Why? Because we have mobile deposit capture. If you want to make a deposit, you pull out your iPhone. Bingo. Done.
Our commercial customers have remote deposit capture. They don't have to go to the bank to deposit their checks, etc. Everything today is mobile. And technology in that respect has changed the delivery system dramatically.
Q.So you expect there will be fewer branches in the future?
A. Yeah. You look at the traditional branch, it's a lot of brick-and-mortar. It has to change because the delivery systems are changing. It's not being driven by the bank. It's customer-driven.
Q.But won't people always want a physical presence, a building, to know their money is going into something real?
A. Absolutely. That's not to downplay the physical presence. I truly believe you still need a physical presence. Do we need the physical presence we traditionally have had — brick and mortar on every corner? No, I don't believe so.
Q.You've served on lots of civic boards over the years. How do you feel about the civic scene in Milwaukee today?
A. I've been raised in this community and I've raised my family in this community, and as I look at it, the city is the heart and soul of this community in southeast Wisconsin. Like it or not, it is.
You need a public-private partnership. That is a fact. You need public support for those quality-of-life institutions, and I think you've got to realize that. It's called quality of life.
There has to be a recognition that the quality-of-life institutions draw from well outside the city or the county.
Q.You served on the 12-person Thrift Institutions Advisory Council from 2001 to 2002, meeting with Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve Board to offer input to policy-makers from a community banker's perspective. What was that experience like?
A. What you have at the Fed are a bunch of PhD economists. And we were the people that they would touch base with periodically to ground themselves, and say, "What's really going on out there?"
When I was honored to serve on that committee, Alan Greenspan was the chairman of the Fed, and I truly believe at that time he was the most powerful man in the world. That was a kick to sit down next to Alan Greenspan and have dinner with him.
Man, the intellect on that guy. The man is absolutely brilliant. And I'm just a banker from Wisconsin interfacing with this guy. That was fun. It really was fun.
Q.Speaking of fun, I know you're a serious Harley-Davidson rider and have taken many trips on your bike along with other Milwaukee-area business executives. What was your best trip ever on a Harley?
A. This country is a beautiful, magnificent country. And what better way to see God's work than on a motorcycle?
It's the southwest part of the country. It's just magnificent. Utah, Arizona, parts of New Mexico.
Most memorable? The most memorable trip that we have ever taken was New Zealand. We rode the south island for virtually three weeks.

SPOILER ALERT: This blog is for those who are watching season four of Mad Men on BBC4. Don't read on if you haven't seen episode 13 – and if you've seen more of the series, please be aware that many UK viewers will not have done so
Episode 13: Tomorrowland
Well, I'd like to say that I didn't see that coming, but thanks to a spoilerific soul, I knew exactly what was going to happen with Don and Megan. How surprised were you all? There had been a few tell-tale signs in previous episodes, but the couple's engagement still largely came from nowhere. "Wow," as Peggy says drolly.
Don's mocking of teenagers for being sentimental at the American Cancer meeting was funny, not only for being true, but because this was his most sentimental episode so far: telling Bobby and Sally about "Dick"; cannonballing into the pool; getting lovey with Megan. It was most obvious when Anna's gifted engagement ring burned a hole in his pocket leading to the proposal.
Seeing Megan make like Julie Andrews in LA with the Draper clan – mopping up spilled milk, hanging out at the Whisky a Go Go and singing French lullabies – obviously made him pine for a new start as a father. Megan is wonderful, truly, but compared to Faye Miller, she is the easier option. She gets on with his kids, is keenly admiring of him and has vague plans for a career in the arts (like a pre-suburban Betty?). He knows he can tame her.
Faye on the other hand is deeply independent and struggles with children, but knows more about how Don works than any of his other conquests. She pins him completely: "I hope she knows you only like the beginnings of things."
"I feel myself when I'm with you. The way I always wanted to feel. Because I'm in love with you Megan and think I have been for a while." Don
Don's decision to choose Megan opens up a whole new can of worms. Megan doesn't know about the Dick/Don shenanigans whereas Faye knows all – although she seems unlikely to go for a woman spurned routine. But is Don just getting himself into the same situation as he did with Betty by not being upfront about his past? "I know who you are now," says Megan. Except she really doesn't.
A minor complaint: both these relationships seem fairly undercooked as a result of occurring late in the series – perhaps deliberately so. The result is that it's difficult to care particularly about who Don ends up with. But, as at the end of season three, we have a happy ending (at last) to carry us into 1966, or wherever we're headed next.
"If they poured champagne it must have been while I was pushing the post cart." Joan
While the men toast their privates lives, it's the two women of SCDP who are making sure that there's still money to pay for the champagne.
A deus ex Morticia (sorry) moment with Joyce's model friend Carolyn Jones gave Peggy the opportunity to catch a fish-in-a-barrel account for Topaz pantyhose and thus end SCDP's losing streak. She's half jokingly indignant when she tells Joan that she's "saved the company" but she's done more than most. Her instant riffing of ideas in the Topaz office recalled (again!) Don at his best – and yet her moment of glory was undermined by Don and Megan's news.
I loved Joan's seen-it-all-before reaction ("they're all just between marriages"), and the flipping of emotions between Don and Peggy – "she reminds me of you, she's got that same spark". Peggy, Mad Men's quiet star, remains our guiding light.
Meanwhile, we learn that Joan, who's been given a promotion without a pay rise (naturally) never aborted her and Roger's baby, and husband Greg is under the impression – understandably – that it's his. There's a napalm shitstorm on the horizon.
"There is no fresh start, lives carry on." Henry
This line from Henry provides a nice coda on which to end. There are been several key Mad Men momentsthat would have allowed the writers to rip things up and start again: to have Betty divorce Don, meet Henry and be happy for ever after.
But good drama, like life, isn't that simple. The ties that bind, bind. Betty is still a deeply unhappy woman. Her animosity toward Glen Bishop, festering for years now, has proved the catalyst to move to Rye and begin again. Again. Because it's easier that way.
The move is a leap enough, but Carla's decision to allow Glen into the Bullet Park Road residence to say goodbye to Sally (a very sweet scene) is enough to make Betty fire the unflinchingly loyal and devoted maid, who's spent years of her life holding this family together at the expense of her own. Hence this exchange: "Well someone has to look after those children."
"Really? Well where are your kids? Are they all doctors and lawyers?"
"You'd best stop talking now."
Carla ought to have popped her in the face, but wary of future employment prospects takes it with a sad dignity. Not that she even gets a letter of recommendation. Once more Betty's self-loathing is loaded onto someone else ("just because you're sad doesn't mean everyone has to be," shouts Glen) and, as Don finds new love in LA, once more she's left lying on her bed in her dress. Plus ça change.
Finally she and Don's stars align one last time, as they return to their marital home. Betty, it seems, is there on purpose. She appears to have made peace with Don, if not herself, at least until he tells her about his marriage. And with their house keys go the dying embers of their lives together. A fitting denouement.
• Always the sign of a big episode: co-written and directed by Matthew Weiner.
• One of the fat cats at the American Cancer Society is Everett Marlowe at Dow Chemical. Roger fancies the Saran wrap account. I liked Ken refusing to bring his father-in-law into it. He didn't get in that way. "I'm not Pete – sorry about that." "No, you're obviously not," harrumphs Pete, brilliantly.
• Someone in the comments a few episodes back said that Faye was Jewish rather than Italian and it was important. Did I miss something completely?
• I'd honestly not noticed Megan's teeth before she mentioned them, now I can't stop looking at them.
• The Californian scenes are always a highlight thanks to the location shots. Don giving away a bit of himself to Sally and Bobby re: his "nickname" was a tender moment too.
Culture watch
• Joyce's model friend is Carolyn Jones. Like, she points out, the actress who played Morticia Addams.
• Second Julie Andrews reference in two weeks: "You said you didn't have any professional experience and you're like Maria von Trapp. (The Sound of Music came out in March 1965)
• Megan's friend Camille has been in two episodes of Hogan's Heroes.
• Does anyone know the song played as Don cannonballed into the pool?
• "They say we're young and we don't know," sing Sonny and Cher as the we fade to black into the future. A great moment to end on.
20th century tales
• Megan earns $70 a week, or $3,642 a year. The 1965 average was $4,658. If Don's accountant is to be believed she won't have to worry about money any more. The Ossining house has doubled in value and he made 10k from Anna's old house.
• The Topaz man doesn't care if it's Abe Beam – who's just run for mayor wearing the tights.
Finally, a huge thankyou to everyone for your contributions. As ever, they've made this series what it is. An especially big thanks to Nevada and Digit who've really helped carry the post-episode debates. I should be back here for series five when it airs in the UK – hopefully, satellite TV/iTunes permitting, you'll be back to join me.

First selectman grapples with 'an extremely lean budget'
First selectman grapples with 'an extremely lean budget'
STONINGTON — Crafting a budget is always a tug-of-war between services and cost. The town needs to provide sufficient services and a quality school district, while keeping in mind that some people struggle to pay their property taxes.
"It's a difficult balance, always," said First Selectman Edward Haberek Jr., a day after the Board of Finance cut nearly $700,000 from the proposed municipal budget for 2014-15. "I understand the rationale."
Last year, the Board of Finance used nearly $1.4 million from the undesignated fund balance, formerly called the rainy day fund, to keep the tax increase small. But after that expenditure and Tuesday's vote to take another $1.2 million out of the fund to put a new roof on Deans Mill School, the board was hesitant to take any more money out of the fund.
"We're at a spot now where we have to be careful with our reserves," said Haberek.
On Thursday, Haberek said he was spending the day re-organizing Town Hall administrative tasks in response to the budget cuts. Although positions were eliminated, no one was laid off. But with a decrease that large, Haberek said, "you have to cut people."
The community development clerk, who helps with grants and economic development issues, is retiring at the end of the month, Haberek said, and her vacant position will not be filled. He has also had to put the brakes on interviewing for a new director of planning. The director's position has been vacant since the 2012 death of William R. Haase,
"That kind of ground it to a halt," Haberek said of the interview process.
Last summer there were three part-time positions filled to help the town maintain its athletic fields. This year, the town's public works employees will do those tasks.
"Now we'll have to take care of that responsibility in-house," Haberek said. "We're going to be stretched really thin."
But he believes voters will approve the budget when it goes before them this spring.
"I really hope they will support it," he said. "It's an extremely lean budget."
While he works with this budget proposal, Haberek said he's also looking at the years ahead. Although the grand list, the total amount of all taxable property in town, didn't increase much this year, Haberek said it will likely go up in about two or three years. A tax abatement for Zachry Nuclear Engineering will expire in a few years, a planned senior-living development in Mystic may be completed by then, and the redevelopment of a Pawcatuck thread mill may be raising the grand list. But in the interim, the stagnant grand list combined with increasing expenses isn't helping.
"It's going to be a very, very difficult budget next year going forward," he said. "We have to plan to deliver services differently."
The public will have the opportunity to comment on the proposed $58.2 million budget on Thursday, April 10, at Stonington High School,176 South Broad St., at 7 p.m. Immediately following the hearing, the Board of Finance will meet to decide if any changes are to be made to the budget, and then pass it along to the Board of Selectmen for a town meeting.

'Birdman' director's flight of fancy may reap reward of Oscar
By Mary Milliken
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - From the first scene showing actor Michael Keaton levitating in his underwear, it becomes quite clear that "Birdman" will not unfold in a conventional way.
A favorite to win the Academy Award for best picture, director Alejandro G. Inarritu's satirical jab at show business takes the audience down a cinematic rabbit hole - and not just because it takes place in the warren of a Broadway theater.
Upon embarking on "Birdman," the Mexican filmmaker felt that cinematic storytelling was a "little bit stuck" and he wanted to do something novel because audiences deserved it.
The film industry, Inarritu says, tends to make movies that are comfortable or easy to understand for the audience, "without inviting them to explore different ways to believe cinema or stories and the infinite possibilities that cinema offers."
The exploration in "Birdman" includes the technical - filming in what appears to be one continuous shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. The camera winds its way through dressing rooms and hallways, around the stage as actors rehearse, onto the building ledge and out onto the streets of Broadway.
It is also emotional. Keaton's Riggan Thomson, the washed up actor attempting a comeback with his own ponderous Broadway play, contends with the voice of his most famous film character, the super hero "Birdman," who berates him with criticism.
The director of "Amores Perros" and "Babel" doesn't tie his first comedy in a neat package, leaving Riggan's fate at the film's end open to interpretation.
"It's not easy to break rules and it is not easy to be brave to finance and risk money on it," Inarritu said, speaking by telephone from wintery Calgary where he is filming frontiersman drama "The Revenant." Continued...

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon [Blu-ray]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Theatrical release: December 8, 2000. Filmed on location in the Gobi Desert, Taklamakan Plateau, Urumchi, the Bamboo Forest in Anji, and Cheng De, with the permission of the Chinese government. Estimated budget: $15 million. CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON grossed more in its opening weekend in North America than any previous foreign film--more than $660,000, in a limited release, and in February 2001 became the highest-grossing foreign film in U.S. history as it soared past the $80 million mark. As of mid-April its total was nearly $120 million. Out of the 100 days of shooting, 80 were devoted to the fight scenes. The action sequences comprise 30 minutes of the 119-minute film. On his reason for making this film, Lee told the New York Daily News, "I'd always known I wanted to do martial arts. It was a boyhood fantasy. But the book [on which the film is based] had other ingredients I felt were very unusual for Chinese drama. It had strong female characters. It's an emotional tour. And it also had abundant insight into the old, classic Chinese society, which was very important to me." The actors speak Mandarin Chinese to keep the film as authentic as possible. Only one of the principal cast members--Zhang Ziyi--knew the mainland Mandarin dialect in which the script is written; not even Lee is fluent in the dialect, which is associated with a golden age of wuxia films. In an interview for the Asian edition of Time magazine, Yeoh said, "I don't think I studied this hard even for exams. Every single word needs the right intonation. I'd deliver a sixteen-line speech, get one word slightly wrong, and Ang would say, 'Let's do it all again.' I'd say, 'Can't we just do the one word again?' 'No, let's do it all.' So many times I thought, 'I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid, why are you using me?' But it builds character." Among the most important jobs on the film was the wire removal specialist, who was responsible for eliminating all the wires from the film negative to make it appear that the actors were actually floating and flying through the fight scenes. Lee originally wanted Shu Qi to play Jen. Lee had to ask Zhang Ziyi's acting school for permission to use her. Lee also originally wanted Jet Li to play Li Mu Bai. After Chow took on the role, the part's action sequences were downplayed and Li's romance with Yu was emphasized. Chow had never appeared in a swordplay movie before. When Chow flew into Beijing for filming, customs was shut down for 45 minutes because the officials wanted his autograph. The five-part novel on which the film was based was written before World War II. Because mainland books had been banned in Taiwan, Lee did not read the novel until 1994. After he read the series, he knew he wanted to adapt the books into a film but had to wait until he made three more films before he got the green light. Most of the film is based on book four of the series, which is also called CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. Jen's character is roughly the same, while Li was from book two of the series. Lee invented the character of Yu Shu Lien. Screenwriter James Schamus, who does not know Chinese, did not read the novel by Wang; instead, Lee provided him with a summary of the events he wanted to portray. Schamus wrote the script in English, which was then translated into Chinese. The script was translated into English and Chinese several more times as revisions were made. Schamus's coscreenwriters, Tsai Kuo-jung and Wang Hui-ling, helped make the dialogue more culturally relevant. Lines such as "I love you" were transformed into the much more culturally specific "I would rather be a ghost, drifting by your side." In an interview that appears with the screenplay for the film, Schamus said, "The Chinese embedded in every word of this movie has layers and layers of culture and meanings. They simply don't exist to a Western ear. It is one of the truly delicious ironies of this movie that although I cowrote it, I'll never fully understand all of its meanings."

McALLEN, Texas (AP) A Cuban who fled Texas in 2003 following his drug-smuggling arrest then turned up nearly 10 years later bound in a vehicle has been sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison.
A federal judge in McAllen on Monday announced 46-year-old Alexis Estevez-Alvarez's sentence.
A federal jury in July found Estevez-Alvarez, of Havana, guilty of possession with intent to distribute marijuana and failure to appear.
Investigators in June 2003 discovered nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana in a shed near the suspect's home in the South Texas town of Mercedes. Estevez-Alvarez was free on bond when he disappeared.
Estevez-Alvarez last October was found restrained and inebriated in the bed of a pickup truck at the Progreso Port of Entry. Investigators say someone drove him into Texas, then returned to Mexico.

if you were to play a full round of golf, you would be exhausted. You would be surprised how tiring it gets walking up and down hills and swinging a golf club 150 times or more.

Today he is definitely top 25. His domination of his sport is one of the greatest feats of this generation, up there with what Barry Bonds did, Michael Jordan did, Barry Sanders, Federer, etc.
Twenty years from now, when a new generation grows up, and Tiger's career is over (and maybe he plays longer than that!!!), he will go up on the list.
And let's not argue about golf being a sport. ALL athletes and SUCCESSFUL people will tell you that the REAL game is the MENTAL game, and that's how you get good at anything...Collecting- oddball AND mainstream VINTAGE BASKETBALL

Bay of Plenty will hit the ground running tomorrow in Whakatane, with new coaches Kevin Schuler and John Walters resisting the urge to throw a scratch line-up out on to Rugby Park against match-hardened Hawke's Bay.
Instead they've plumped for a team brimming with Super Rugby talent, with five of the starting line-up coming straight back from the elongated international competition as Schuler and Walters capitalise on their three-game pre-season window before the opening ITM Cup clash with Taranaki on August 25.
Luke Braid (Blues), Kenny Lynn, Chris Noakes, Culum Retallick (Highlanders) and ACT Brumbies lock Leon Power get an early season hitout against Hawke's Bay, with Phil Burleigh (Highlanders) rested and the Steamers' Chiefs players Lelia Masaga, Tanerau Latimer and Josh Hohneck not expected to return until for another couple of weeks.
Paroa midfielder Maru Henry has forced his way on to the bench from the development side, with Schuler saying they wouldn't get too technical against the Magpies, who arrive having lost their pre-season opener last week to Waikato 29-21.
"We'll keep it pretty simple given it's our first hitout, seeing how the team gels together with a pretty simplistic game plan," Schuler said last night. "The aim's to give as many of the squad who are available a run bearing in mind the Chiefs boys aren't around until the week of [ITM Cup] kickoff and were managing Burls [Burleigh] and Billy [Ben Smith] back to fitness."
Nick McCashin will also start off the bench after kicking Te Puke Sports to back-to-back Baywide titles on Saturday in the slop at Tauranga Domain, with Schuler recognising the first-five's big club rugby workload this season.
Rolling subs would be employed to give everyone a decent lash, with Schuler pointing to next week's games against the Bay of Plenty Wasps in Rotorua (Tuesday) and North Harbour in Katikati (Friday) as the time to bed down specific strategy.
"The key thing is we're ready to go when the season starts, not this week. Not getting the Chiefs guys until the actual week of kickoff means they'll have no pre-season with us, but it's not as if guys like Lats and Flash have to upskill - they'll slot right back in and be ready to go. They're a known quantity and them turning up will be a great lift to the squad."
How new signing Kenny Lynn combines with Lance MacDonald and loosie-turned-wing Jack Wilson could go a long way to determining Bay of Plenty's back three this season, with Wilson never getting a chance to shine in the club final.
"I know Jack's keen for a run - the poor guy looked like a newborn calf in that mud on Saturday, caked in mud, with big white eyes, wondering which paddock he'd just landed in," Schuler said with a laugh.
"Some of the boys haven't had much rugby recently so they'll all be better for picking up a few early-season bumps and bruises."
Both teams will go into the game mindful of eight new laws being implemented in this year's ITM Cup, part of a global trial of new IRB laws.
Changes include a five-second time limit on playing the ball once it is at the back of a ruck, a time limit on when conversions must be completed after a try is scored, the positioning of a quick throw-in and expanding free-kick options for teams benefiting from a knock-on or throw forward into touch. Teams awarded a penalty or free kick at a lineout may choose another lineout without first having to kick for touch.
Schuler said most top-level players were looking to keep the game moving anyway and he didn't anticipate too many teething problems.
"The players are pretty alert to quick throw-ins and the back three will be switched on to that, and most of the changes are structured towards getting teams to keep the tempo up.
"The five-second rule at the ruck might take a bit more to bed in but it's a matter of making sure you're organised and ready for the next phase and Bay of Plenty hasn't traditionally been a team that's spent a lot of time with the ball at the ruck base."
Tomorrow's teams
Bay of Plenty Steamers: Kenny Lynn, Jack Wilson, Mafi Kefu, Simon Rolleston, Lance MacDonald, Chris Noakes, Jamie Nutbrown (capt), Carl Axtens, Luke Braid, Warren Smith, Culum Retallick, Leon Power, Mike Kainga, Dan Perrin, Greg Pleasants Tate. Reserves: Jesse Acton, John Pareanga, Pingi Taalapitaga, Keepa Mewett, Josh Hall, Lewis Hancock, Nick McCashin, Maru Henry.
Hawke's Bay Magpies (from): Gillies Kaka, Penikolo Latu, Bronson Neera, Tua Saseve, Nick McLennan, Ihaia West, Isaac Paewai, Mike Coman (capt), Adam Bradey, Trent Boswell-Wakefield, Kieran Coll, Maselino Paulino, Pete Borlase, Ash Dixon, Brendon Edmonds, Jesse MacDonald, Adrian Brone, Jodi Allen, Johan Schoonbee, Tom Parsons, Tivaini Fomai, Peniasi Tokakece, Michael Ruru, Luke Makris, Star Timu, Dan Waenga, Matt Gordon, Brynn Uriarau.
Kickoff: 2pm, Rugby Park, Whakatane.

Separation Anxiety, an awesome improvement! Where do i go from here?
SO! Yesterday night, I wen't to go clean upstairs and use the vacuum, and so i decided i would try Zelda loose in my room, as i recently got rid of a ton of my junk and there is little for her to get into now. So i brought her down stairs, set up my laptop webcam to face the door and my bed. And gave her a peanut butter kong and put it on my bed and left the room.
So for about 25 minutes. I waited until she got into her Kong, and than the left the room. She was on my bed enjoying her Kong, when i closed the door behind me for a few seconds, she stopped using her Kong. And then wen't back to it. For a while she wen't at the Kong, and then she got off my bed, checked the door and went back to lay down on my bed. I didn't here her bark or anything.. (i fast forwarded through the video)
Anyways i use to record her when i left the room from 30 seconds to minutes. And she would be pacing back and forth, whining, jumping on the door scratching it. Even when i left stuff for her to do, she would stop doing it.
So i would say this is an improvement. I would like to completely baby proof my room before i leave her any longer than 30 minutes. But im wondering if eventually she would settle down and just lay on my bed and sleep and find things like the antler, Wobbler, Kong to go at while im away at work. Instead of being in her crate.
What are some good steps to take from here? To get her to be loose in my room while i am away?
(no longer using crate)
A few ideas i been thinking of: putting a baby gate in my big window so she doesnt try and go through there, which i dont thinks he would, but you never know, a dog at the animal hospital went through a window.. I want to block off a section of my room, with my tv and laptop so she doesn't get into cords,etc.. How can i secure my door better? What rate should i increase the time?
*On a different note: And if anyone is wondering from my previous post on her growl. She has not done anything since, i have had my mom work with her a little bit and i also contacted my private trainer and she also made some suggestions and when i have the money i hope to meet with her soon.

(Solved) - Windows 7 Ubuntu 12.10 dual boot(7 posts)
You have to add the Windows 7 bootmgr to the Grub. Maybe with easyBCD.
Thanks whs, but I've tried that method earlier. The problem is, in order to use EasyBCD, you need to successfully boot into Windows 7,which I can't. Any other ideas ? Should I use my Windows 7 disk to repair and boot into windows then run EasyBCD ? Will it work ?
Or run EasyBCD from a bootable flash drive: http://rufus.akeo.ie/ You'd need another PC to set it up.
You are welcome. Slick solution that I would never have known. Thanks for posting that.

On-Site Cogeneration
Cogeneration and trigeneration tap the full potential of on-site power generation to manage overall energy consumption for commercial buildings, manufacturers, hospitals, college campuses, military bases and other government and industrial enterprises. By capturing the heat that is normally lost during power generation, a cogeneration facility can supply hot water or heat as well as reliable, off-grid power. A trigeneration facility can supply cooling in addition to heat and off-grid power.
Major utility companies have used cogeneration to monetize the process of energy production for decades by selling steam and hot water to nearby customers. At the government or enterprise level, cogeneration offers a way to reduce energy costs on multiple fronts. Ameresco's comprehensive energy services specialists can analyze electrical, heating and cooling needs, then develop energy conversion systems from 1 to 50 megawatts, or higher, that improve overall energy efficiency, provide secure and reliable power for mission-critical systems and pay for themselves in annual utility bill savings.
Cogeneration: Power, Heat and Revenue
Industrial and government facilities in need of on-site power generation that looks beyond immediate energy concerns can find multipurpose solutions and a stream of revenue through on-site cogeneration.
In many cases, a larger power generation system will add little development cost and pay for itself with excess electricity that is sold back into the power grid. Excess power can be used to further lower utility costs or as a reliable stream of revenue when sold through a power purchase agreement.
Ameresco is a recognized leader in adapting renewable energy sources for cogeneration. These off-grid solutions meet on-site power needs with clean, energy-efficient plants that can be built or upgraded to become independent power generation facilities with revenue potential for their owners.
"This project is one of the largest biomass facilities in the country…leading to cleaner air for this community."
–Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu
Ameresco and the United States Department of Energy have embarked on the largest energy efficiency project in the federal government's history. The Savannah River Site in Aiken, South Carolina, will soon be home to the U.S government's largest biomass-fueled cogeneration facility, with wood biomass replacing the aging coal boilers currently in use. Ameresco will design, construct, operate, maintain and fuel the new plant, with no up-front cost to the Department of Energy.

NCS Plus Incorporated Scam Artists that Attempt to Collect Fraudulent Claims of Debts for Other Scam Artists New York New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I received a notice from NCS Plus Incorporated in May 2013 that claimed it was an attempt to collect a debt of $4.25 for Brett Roderman of AAA Property Managment. My alleged debt of $800 with Roderman's AAA Property Management had already been settled in court in Gwinnett County, Georgia, in February of 2012, and was paid.
I received a second notice from NCS Plus Incorporated in June 2013, this time claiming a debt of $4,925.00 to AAA Property Management. I contacted the company to discpute the claim through their website. I received no response.
In August 2013, I received a third notice stating a debt of $4,925.00, and also received a letter from Gary C. Cooke, Attorney at Law, on behalf of NCS Plus and AAA Property Management. This time, I mailed a dispute letter via certified mail to all parties, and I included copies of the notices with verying amounts. [continued below]....
Today, on September 1, 2013, I received a final letter from NCS Plus Incorporated, claiming that the false debt would be reported on my credit if I did not pay the full amount of the fraudulent debt within ten days.
The company has failed to obtain any verification of the debt, itemized bill, etc. from AAA Property Management. They have failed to provide me with any verification. They are using consumer's social security numbers to report fradulent claims of debt for scam artists such as Brett Roderman.
