This joke is on Browns
Updated: November 13, 2003, 7:32 AM ETBy Randy Mueller | ESPN NFL Insider
Spinning the release of their leading receiver, Kevin Johnson, whom they paid a boatload in signing bonus not too long ago, is tricky business for the Cleveland Browns. They say Kevin couldn't handle being demoted to second string, but if his attitude is the real reason they let him go, it didn't scare off many other teams.
A record 16 teams put in claims for Johnson, and he was awarded to Jacksonville for the mere $100 wavier cost. I'm probably not going out on a limb too far here, but the amount of interest this release generated tells me the Browns probably would have been able to trade him for some value in the offseason. Heaven knows their defense could have used an extra player or two in return.

Here's the deal, Sarge, since 2000 our federal budget has doubled. I don't think we've gotten much of a benefit from this doubling of spending, personally, but maybe that's just me.
Some of this massive increase was due to spending on the military. They've had money literally thrown at them. Their books are a mess. They can't trace tens of billions of dollars in spending. They don't know where this money is going. There is redundancy, cost overruns, you name it. If money is just going to be thrown at them, there is no incentive for them to become more efficient.
Another thing is, the wars are winding down. We simply can't afford a military budget that was necessary when we were fighting two wars. Are jobs going to be lost because of this, yes, of course. But paying to maintain a military as if you are fighting two wars, when you are not, is not efficient spending. There are going to have to be cuts to personnel because of this. People are going to lose their jobs. I don't see anyway around it. What's the alternative ... to fund the military as if we are fighting two wars?
Lastly and more importantly, the republicans have been offering for weeks to sit down with Obama and democrats and find other cuts that would be less painful. The cuts in the sequester were specifically selected (by both democrats and republicans) to be so painful that both sides would come to the table and negotiate a balanced approach that involves tax increases and more sensible spending cuts.
The problem is, the democrats already got spending increases when we hit the fiscal cliff at the end of last year, and gave no spending cuts.
Now, instead of working with republicans to replace some of the cuts in the sequester with less painful ones, they have refused to do so. Instead they want to offset some of them with EVEN higher taxes.
Obama has been saying we need a balanced approach when it comes to our debt problem, but so far, all he seems willing to do is raise taxes. That's NOT balance.
So both sides have dug in their heels. Rather than democrats doing what is sensible and at least agreeing to replace some of the more painful cuts with less painful cuts, they decided to go on the campaign trail, in particular Obama, and use scare tactics and pointed out how painful the cuts would be in order to get the public on their side.
This tactic is dishonest, because it hides the fact that the cuts wouldn't have had to be so painful if Obama and Co. had instead decided to act like grown adults and had sat down with republicans and replaced some of the more painful cuts with less painful ones.
Anyway it is sliced, there needs to be cuts.

Working less hours IS a pay cut if you want to look at it that way. I highly doubt they are cutting her salary. If so, it is the first I've heard about it. What I HAVE heard about is forced furloughs.
And my congessman didn't win, either. I'm in a blue district. I get screwed in state AND federal elections.

NPR had a good story on Jesse Jackson Jr the other day, and the gerrymandering that was involved in creating his district. They said that he defrauded people even at the level of the fund raising, in that everyone knows that a democrat (especially a black democrat) is going to be elected in that district -- without any fundraising and without actually campaigning -- so to do any fundraising at all should have tipped people off that it was a shady campaign.

You got it... It's all about her and it absolutely slays her when she's not involved... When others ask her about the same kind of things, she gets huffy ablout them meddling, yet she gets to do that herself and its fine.

Yes she will and no they aren't... And really, not the worst boundary she's crossed.... She once stole a freezer full of game from HER OWN MOTHER that Her brothers (good hunters in Montana) gave their mother to live off of for the winter... MIL said awhile ago that gramma sais that MIL could have some stuff... We don't believe that but were not sure who lost their mind in that exchange...
As it turns out, MILs g/I troubles are acting up, so they won't be making the drive down for the service... MIL & Gramma were fond of each other, so I do feel kinda bad, despite the relief over the drama factor d ring diminished....

I live in that district. I sure never voted for JJJ. JJS years ago ruined a date for me with a CHPD cop because he had a BBQ for a foreign dignitary in his back yard that went late. I'm still PO'd about that.:/ But I digress.
This is not a district of deep thinkers. Although I don't think anyone pays much attention to fund raising in itself.

I will be working one less day a week. It really isn't going to amount to any less time, because I have work that needs to be done. Not here on Tuesday to do it? OK, I'll stay later the rest of the week to get it done, and will cut back wherever I can to adjust to the drop in pay. My beef isn't that I, personally, am feeling the impact of this. It is that the people elected to lead this country refuse to do so if it means making a decision that might cost them a vote.
As an aside, I love the baseless assumption, from both dog and Sublime in his little lecture, that I'm a democrat. Couldn't be further from the truth, and I actually have not one elected official, from local city counsel to the White House, who got there on my vote. They all did get there with a lot of votes from the public assistance crowd though, and oddly enough, they are not being hit by the sequestration at all.

I'm sorry that this is how your Mom is spending her birthday, even if she is making the best of it. My Grandfather died on my Dad's 60th birthday and the one year anniversary is coming up this month. My Grandmother is very upset that they both fall on the same day.

I remember a mom of a teen was having a horrible time dealing not only with her kid's suicide, but that he'd killed himself on his birthday. So she couldn't even have his birthday as a positive day of memories. It was heartbreaking.
More dramatic than what your grandma is dealing with, but I get what she's upset about.

Pumpkinhead Revisited
An installation of the Bighead Series, where all protagonists have physically large heads.
A man with a long toggle coat, dark jeans, and a pumpkinhead jogged across 3rd Avenue with his bulldog and pressed his face against the glass of Sal's Groceries. The stare was fixed on a woman standing in front of a row of cereals. Intent on making eye contact with her, he stood transfixed, although he already knew they had nothing to say. He tied his dog to a tree and walked into the store. She was on the phone.
"Well, I'm not attending Kodak Week because I don't think that's living. I think that's slowly dying." She put down a box of Mueslix and gave a more energetic twist towards the Golden Grahams, which made her duck below the man's giant orange head. "Excuse me," she said, annoyed, and picked up the cereal.
"Daisy. Daisy, it's me." The girl looked up and caught his eye.
"Oh! Jim! I didn't recognize you."
"Well, I haven't seen you since college. It's been like five years."
"It has been. Five."
"You also may not have recognized me, because I now have a huge pumpkin for a head."
"Yeah. Yes. That did it."
Daisy was not dressed for the weather and Jim's eyes took a little tour.
A voice blared from Daisy's phone, and she remembered her mother. "Anyway, Mom, that is nothing I would ever want. I wish you would actually listen to me for once." Jim backed up from the conversation and traced his finger through the maze on a box of Teddy Grahams. "Anyway, I really can't talk right now." She hung up. "So!"
"So yeah. Just wanted to say hi. I've got to get home."
She put down the box of Golden Grahams and had him follow her to the refrigerated section. "So, how did you wind up with this?" she asked, pointing at his pumpkinhead and picking up a case of Blue Moon. "I mean it's totally cool, totally cool, it's different."
"Thanks," Jim said, smiling and pulling down on one of his toggles. "Same kind of generic story. The whole 'what do you do' kinda thing…ha! ha," and Daisy laughed too, a little too loud.
"Remember our little rendezvous in the LGBT garden?"
"Listen, Daisy," Jim said, in a tone that made the girl shift the beer from her right to her left hand. "I'm not very good with this whole revisiting the past thing. I'm just trying to… get on with it."
"Oh. Well I was just wondering if you can still do all that, with the pumpkinhead." She wanted to ask him something, but couldn't seem to do anything but scan the varieties of beer, chanting Amstel, Bud, Corona almost outloud (Sal had arranged the beers in alphabetical order). "Jim…I would love to make you dinner at some point."
"Aw, that's so nice. I kind of have a light diet nowadays. You know, photosynthesis," and Jim pointed to his head. "Anyway, I just wanted to say hey, or hi or something. I'm on my way home—I've gotten really into Evelyn Waugh."
"I wasn't doing anything tonight, either. Oh! Want to rent the Brideshead series? Have a marathon?"
"That would be fun, but I think I'm just going to read my book."
"I guess I'm more into watching than reading," Daisy said, but Jim didn't laugh.
"I guess that's the difference between us," he said.
Daisy put the Blue Moon back on the shelf and wandered back to the cereal aisle. "O-kay," she said, "it was great running into ya." Seeing Jim and his new head had lifted Daisy out of her Sunday funk. He oozed a confidence she hoped might creep in and slacken her posture. She pointed to the ATM and hoped that lingering her presence might change his mind about reading alone tonight.
While Daisy hovered her finger over the worn buttons, calculating the benefit of accepting the $2.25 fee, Jim shifted the weight on his feet with an obvious impatience. He couldn't wait to get home and spread out alone with his book. He was so tired. The thought of another morning lifting a head just as heavy as it had been the night before overwhelmed him. His passion for the profession of trademark research seemed to be dwindling as well, making every day that much harder. But the state of the nation and the prospect of interviewing for jobs with his new enlarged head made it difficult for Jim to explore any furthering career opportunities. He was beginning to think the switch from a well-proportioned, easily-accessorized skull of flesh to an oversized bright orange vegetable known to rot within a matter of weeks might have been a rash decision. But Jim turned and caught sight of a neon price tag displayed on a bottle of Pantene Pro-V for $8.99. Tubes upon packages reigned whole inches of bodega space—face wash, hair care, razors, tweezers, Q-tips—shelves of consumer goods that had once consumed him. Jim chuckled at his brief moment of weakness. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.
Daisy caught her expensive twenty dollar bill and noticed for the first time that Jim's whole head was caked in dirt. She cursed his muddy exterior, much different from the one that had once told her, over cocoa cafés, that he would never believe in life after this love. She gulped and looked away, remembering the hodgepodge drawer in her kitchen, which held both cleaning cloths and the dulled jack-o-lantern carver with the handle in the shape of Snoopy. If only she could convince him to stick with her. They would light a romantic tea candle and his face would dance around the room. When he began to stale, his red and green spots would usher in the distracting holiday season. Daisy snapped back only to realize she was alone in the store, suddenly very aware of Sal's gathering anticipation of a purchase. She avoided eye contact and hurried out.
"C'mon, Aloysius," Jim said, bending down to let the dog lick his pumpkin. "See ya, Daise."
"Yep. See ya in cyberspace."

The cheery demeanour of EMI boss Eric Nicoli on Monday suggests he is hopeful of crowning his career with the £900m deal, even though he is keeping tight-lipped on the prospects.
'I won't say anything,' he said, following the annual meeting of music group HMV, where he is chairman. 'It is still early days,' he added. 'Only one week has passed since we announced we were in talks.'
Nicoli was in jovial form as he conducted the HMV meeting. 'You can tell from the way Jane holds the microphone that she is good at karaoke,' he quipped, after a speech from HMV's auditor Jane Green, of Ernst & Young.
He showed no sign of the strains which one would expect if talks were not going to plan. Since regulators scuppered a deal between EMI and Warner in 2000, EMI's shares have slumped from 600p to 146p. Nicoli knows he must grab the opportunity with both hands this time around.
Perhaps he was just happy about HMV's performance and the fact that there were no tough questions from shareholders.
Total sales at HMV - which also owns Waterstone's bookstores - were up 1.8% in the first 21 weeks of the financial year. Its music stores in the UK and Ireland were up 6.5% thanks to new openings, and up 0.6% on an underlying basis.

10 Ways Moms Can Make an Extra $1,000 This Year Without a Regular Job
We all know how tough it can be to raise a family on a budget.
Summer vacations drain you. School shopping sucks you dry. Thanksgiving dinner empties your wallet. And somehow you've got to fulfill holiday gift lists.
We want you to be as stress-free as possible, so we've put together a list of 10 ways you can make extra money to help throughout the year.
Get started with everything on this list this month, and you could be $1,190 richer this year.
Pretty cool, right?
1. Take 10 Surveys from Swagbucks: $20
Swagbucks is one of the only legitimate paid survey companies out there (and it's rated an A+ with the Better Business Bureau).
I've heard some of the top-end surveys can pay up to $95, but those are rare and can take a while to complete. Most surveys pay a buck or two and only take 10 to 15 minutes.
Also, Swagbucks rewards you with points you can redeem for cash via Paypal or gift cards to places like Amazon or iTunes.
You can usually expect to get roughly $1 on a gift card for every 100 SBs you redeem. The redemption rate is the same across the board, so 500 SBs will get you a $5 Amazon gift card or $5 on PayPal.
Click here to sign up -- you'll get a free $5.
2. Watch YouTube-Like Videos: $30
The folks over at InboxDollars will actually pay you to watch videos!
Now, most of them aren't as entertaining as the Grumpy Cat series, but you're getting paid -- so who cares?
The videos are sponsored by brands who need to get them in front of as many eyeballs as possible. Every time you watch one of the ads, InboxDollars will credit your account with a little bit of cash.
Once you watch enough videos to reach $30, you can cash out -- just look for a check in the mail.
You'll get a free $5 just for signing up.
3. Download These Apps: $300+
A number of companies will actually pay you for downloading apps on your smartphone -- and you'll get paid for every month you keep them installed.
The apps collect data and help companies better understand web and mobile usage — such as what times of day people browse, how long they stay on websites and use apps, and what types of sites and apps are popular (or not).
Here are my favorites (install all of them and earn $300/year or more):
– ShopTracker – If you're a regular Amazon shopper, you can earn money each month contributing to research to help companies understand what people are buying online. Download and connect this to your Amazon account and you'll instantly earn a free $3 Visa gift card, plus another $3 for every month you keep it installed.
– MobileXpression for Android - This one can only be downloaded on Android 5.0 or below. After you've installed it for one week, you get to play an instant rewards game for a prize (everyone wins something). I won a $25 Amazon gift card, but some of the other prizes include iPads & Samsung TVs.
– MobileXpression for iPhones - This works the same way, but for iPhones.
– SavvyConnect – You can earn $5 per device (phone, tablet, computer) for each month SavvyConnect is installed. You can make up to $180 per year to help rank the most popular sites and apps. Make sure you keep it installed at least one month to get your first $5 per device.
– Smart Panel – This app will pay you up to $110 just for downloading it and keeping it on your smartphone for a year. All the info the app collects remains anonymous. (Note: This panel is currently only open to iOS users.)
– Nielsen Mobile Panel – If you have a smartphone, this Nielsen panel will pay you $50/year to keep this app on your cell phone and browse the web like you normally do. (Note: This panel is currently only open to males)

5. Earn Money for Healthy Activities: $10
Need extra motivation for your daily workout? The health app Achievemint lets you earn money for completing healthy activities.
Connect Achievemint to workout apps like Apple's Healthkit, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, RunKeeper, Rundouble C25K, Twitter or any other app you already use to track your health and fitness goals.
You'll choose what data to securely share with Achievemint to earn cash for your activities.
For example, you can earn points for logging your weight with MyFitnessPal or hitting step goals with Fitbit. You'll make extra money in $10 increments in cash or on an Amazon Gift Card once you reach 10,000 points -- and there's no limit on how much you can earn.
Plus, you'll get 10 points just for signing up with Achievemint and connecting an app!
6. Sell Some of Your Old Stuff: $50
Are your closets and shelves packed to the brim with stuff you never use -- or even look at?
You can sell virtually anything on letgo. This intuitive app lets you snap a photo and upload your item in less than 30 seconds. Not only does it remove a lot of the hassle of selling things online, it's 100% free to use.
But there are also apps for selling more specific stuff to people who might actually be looking for it.
For old books from college, you can use Bookscouter. Just type your book's ISBN into the search bar and the site will connect you with more than 25 of the best-paying and most reputable buyback companies online.
There's even a site for old purses and designer accessories! Sell them on CashInMyBag.
7. Turn Your Carpool Skills Into Cash: $600
A hectic family schedule of school, extracurriculars, sleepovers and weekend get-togethers has probably forced you to find the best routes around town. Put that to use to earn some extra cash!
As an Uber driver partner, you'll set your schedule — no one is keeping tabs on you. You get 80% of everything you earn as a driver (Uber keeps 20%).
Set yourself a small goal to earn about $50 and work a few shifts each month. That little bit could be enough to cover gifts for the holidays.
If you want to give it a try, there are a few things to keep in mind. You must be at least 21 years old, have three years of driving experience, have an in-state driver's license, a clean driving record and be able to pass a criminal background check.
Finally, your car must be a four-door, seat at least four passengers (excluding the driver), be registered in-state and be covered by in-state insurance.
Plus, making money from your car is great motivation to clear out the extra toys and vacuum the loose Cheerios to keep it looking nice!
Here's a link to get started driving with Uber.
8. Sign Up for Free Gift Card Promotions: $10
Believe it or not, there are sites that will give you free gift cards just for signing up with them.
One of my favorites is Ebates, the cash-back shopping site. It's giving away $10 gift cards if you sign-up as a new member and earn your first cash-back rebate. You can choose either a $10 Target, Walmart, Macy's, or Kohl's gift card.
You do have to wait 30 days. But, it's free money so can you really complain?
9. Evaluate Your Local Stores with Mobee: $10
Have you ever tried mystery shopping?
The Mobee app will pay you to go undercover in your local stores and rate the level of customer service and cleanliness, among other things.
Most of you know I've done quite a bit of mystery shopping, so I was pretty excited to find this app. It's really easy to use and the shops went pretty quickly, but I wasn't super impressed with the payment amounts.
For example, there was a Subway mystery shop in my area paying $8. It's not a huge amount for a mystery shop, plus I had to buy a sandwich during the shop that wasn't reimbursed.
Regardless, it was still like getting a free lunch, so I'll take it!
Your Turn: How do you make extra money from home?

Nor am I totally prepared, except to say that for me, goals and guidelines are what keep me going. Without them, I'm toast.
I've been thinking about my 2013 goals for a good six weeks, and finally got around to finalizing them last week. I learned that I'm going to need to make changes to my daily routine in order to accomplish everything. Otherwise, unless more hours are added to our days, it won't be possible.
Since I'm actually writing this post before Christmas, I haven't figured out the best ways to gain the most extra writing hours. When I do, you'll know. And I'm letting you know ... thanks to some great engineering by Live-In Handyman, I have a tentative routine ready for testing. Yay!

The staff at Crestview Middle School cares deeply for the emotional well-being of our students.
As a learning community, we have the responsibility of guiding our young people through difficult times and situations. Middle school always comes with normal challenges and students struggling to define who they are as individuals, where they feel they fit in, and who they want to be seen as. This is a time of academic, social, and emotional growth for our students. It takes a deliberate partnership between home and school to help our kids successfully navigate this process. Sometimes, the best thing we can do to help our kids is reach out and get them the support they need to be emotionally healthy.
Communication is an essential piece to this partnership. Your child's teachers and staff are dedicated to ensuring communication lines are always clear and available to families. Especially when students need it most. Any member of the CMS family can be a contact point for a student or parent in all situations. All staff members can be contacted by email or phone. This information is readily available on the Crestview website under the staff directory section or by contacting the middle school office. Crestview partners with local agencies, churches, and resources to benefit our families in our community. Due to these partnerships, we are able to connect families with the resources that are available. This offers our students and their families the support they need to successfully grow and learn.
We strive to connect families with local resources that help meet all of our students needs. If you have any concerns for your student, please feel free to contact their teacher or start with the contacts below:
419-895-1700, ext. 18000
To begin this year, we welcomed The Leap Program at the Middle School. The Leap Program (Leading, Empowering, Affirming, Progressive) has leased four classrooms in the building and began services for students with special needs. This program has offered a service to students, families and communities that was not previously available in our area. In keeping with the Crestview vision for being on the forefront of offering the very best educational experience to all students, The Leap Program has added to our work toward being a leader in the area. Administrators, Mrs. Kathleen Frazier and Mr. Vincent Ursetti, lead the program which includes six educators and approximately 15 students at this time.
Mrs. Frazier had this to say of the program, "The LEAP program is a therapeutic educational program that works with students with special needs. The students arrive to our program through various referrals where we work with them in a structured environment on academic functioning skills that cover the state content standards. The program is designed to nurture and build the social, emotional and coping skills needed to be successful in the public school setting."
On September 8, Crestview Middle School held a Family and Community Night. There was a lot of "Cougar" spirit on the grounds as students, families and staff enjoyed an evening of football and volleyball games, face painting and a door decorating contest.
The 7th and 8th grade students will be going to Washington D.C. May 21-25, 2017. If anyone is interested in financially helping a student, they may make a tax deductible donation and we will make sure that a student is able to go. The cost of a student trip is $400. Any donation is very much appreciated. Thank you to the following community members and local businesses that have sponsored students in the past:
The Middle School Physical Education Department purchased some new equipment for the 2016-17 school year. Using the student fee money ($2 per student in grades 4-8) all money will go towards purchasing new equipment for the students. For this year, we focused on two areas: transporting equipment and upper body strength. When the weather is nice we like to take the students outside whenever possible. In the past it has been difficult to haul equipment outside. With this in mind, we purchased a 600 lb. capacity garden wagon that will allow us to quickly and easily move large amounts of equipment. An example of an activity we do outside that requires a lot of equipment is fitness stations on the track. The wagon will come in very handy for this activity, as well as many others .
Improving student upper body strength is one of our SLOs (Student Learning Objectives) for Physical Education. We are always looking for unique, alternative ways to challenge our students to increase their upper body strength. For this reason, we purchased a complete set of six upper body conditioning ropes. This is an activity that ALL students can participate in and be successful. Not to mention, it is a great workout! If you are unfamiliar with conditioning ropes, try this link to watch a video of kids in action with the ropes: www.gophersport.com/fitness/weight-room-conditioningropes/rainbow-introfit-conditioning-ropes.
Finally, through the generosity of the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation, we were awarded a grant for the purchase of a new laptop to be used with our pedometers! This laptop will allow our students to download their workout data instantly at the end of the class in the gym. As their workouts accumulate, we will be able to print off and track student progress. The pedometers keep track of steps taken and intensity level. We can wait to incorporate this new equipment and technology into our curriculum and look forward to continue challenging our students to remain physically fit.
~ Kim Bajko and Jason Goon, Physical Education Instructors
Mr. Yetter, Middle School Principal
It is our hope that this summer has been a relaxing and refreshing time for you and your family. There has been a lot of action at the school and things are beginning to look ready for a new year!
Our custodians have put in a lot of time and effort to make our building look its best. The staff and teachers have been busy planning and preparing for the 2016-2017 school year. The time and effort of the Crestview staff and teachers is much appreciated! As you gear up for the start of the year yourself, here are a few important dates to remember:
We are excited for the new year and looking forward to seeing all of you on the 22nd! Enjoy the rest of your summer break and be ready for a great beginning to the 2016-2017 school year.

Lompoc Students Experience Being a Cop
LOMPOC, Calif. - A program designed to give community members a glimpse into the life of law enforcement, is now a course at the Allan Hancock college at Lompoc.
On Saturday students in the Citizen's Academy Class learned about driving safety. The course showed them how to react to situations quickly and effectively while driving.
Bob Reid, the instructor, said "They're going to learn about reaction time. It's important for them to learn to react to a hazard."
It's all part of a 13 week program, each week gives students a look at a different subject and covers nearly all areas of law enforcement.
Wendell Minyard, a student and Limpoc resident said "I've been here for 40 years and I just assumed the police department was off in a distance."
Minyard said he learned a lot about the various calls police respond to such as domestic violence and gang related cases.
The class is new to this Lompoc campus.

Bad Piggies launching tomorrow
EDIT: Bad Piggies is available on the Google Play store now!
Bad Piggies, Rovio's latest game in the Angry Birds universe is launching on android tomorrow. Personally I'm happy to see something new from the guys at Rovio, however I'm not sure the game ties in much with what we know as Angry Birds other than it starring the dreaded pigs!
I'm excited to see the game arrive tomorrow, but only time will tell if I still feel excited after playing it. Have a look at the gameplay trailer below and let me know what you think!

Zuvor auf vierundzwanzig:
Pardon me while I channel the spirit of Jack Bauer going undercover as a German arms dealer. (If you were wondering, that italicized phrase means, "Previously on 24" in German, or at least according to Google Translator. My usual German interpreter is busy at work on a Sprockets screenplay rewrite, so that was the best I could do on short notice.)
I must say that I did get into the zeitgeist of Monday's episode. While previously I haven't hesitated to point out a few gaping holes in this year's storyline, I had no problem getting caught up in the perils of Renee. Annie Wersching did a terrific job conveying the mix of emotions—revulsion, rage, despair—that Renee had to sublimate as she tried to maintain her cover and also protect herself both physically and spiritually from Vladimir. She's doing what she has to do, but circular-saw-toting RoboRenee she's not. Her humanity is reemerging.
And for some reason I loved Jack putting on his best Hanseatic drag when he went undercover as the arms dealer, Ernst Meier. Last night we confirmed an important fact: Not only can Jack speak German, but he can be sarcastic in it too. Forgive me for not memorizing every season of 24, but was this the first time we heard Jack speak a foreign language? He's apparently fluent in Spanish, Russian (which could come in handy this year), Serbian, and by now possibly Na'vi. I have vague memories of him speaking Spanish in the Telenovela-like early episodes at the Mexican drug dealer's compound in Season 3. Then again, a lot of bad guys have gone down since then.
24 is all about the details, and the Audi S6 sedan was a nice touch— stylish and creative break from a more predictable BMW or Mercedes, not to mention the Porsche Cayenne the Russians were driving. Pretty good for prepping your cover on the fly. I would, however, have expected better eyewear from a man of Meier's high-stakes, globe-trotting background. Maybe something a bit more geometric, a la architect Daniel Liebskind, instead of rounded nouvelle nerd frames that brought to mind everyone from former senator Tom Daschle trying to be hip (didn't work), to Tony Curtis playing millionaire yachtsman in Some Like It Hot back in 1959.
(In defense of Jack's glasses, I did check out the Oliver Peoples website and, while not an exact match, they do bear a strong resemblance to the Riley style in the company's Iconic collection. But I digress.)
I even managed to put aside an earlier skepticism centered on a few of the henchmen's Boris Badenov-quality Russian accents that were floating around the room in previous episodes like pierogies surfing waves of vodka in Boris Yeltsin's stomach. Eastern Promises this wasn't.
Last night, the key players, Vladimir and Bazhaev, transcended their somewhat cartoonish quality of the first few episodes and began to round into a form that brought new meaning to the notion of Black Russians. Mean as they are, they also have a bit of the delicate flower about them. They're easily wounded. Consider that Bad Vlad told Renee, "You're not the only one who has been suffering the past few years." Bazhaev went all Mad Dad on his sons after they betrayed his orders, sealing his fatherly advice with a kiss and a quick apology of, "I'm sorry my son," before blasting away poor weapons-grade, radioactive Oleg.
The world may not need more bad guys, but 24 thrives on them. And if we keep getting additional psychological insights into the Vlad/Dad dyad, that's definitely going to help keep this season moving along. Evil is a universal language we can all understand.

Late game defense
Why on earth did Bochy calling a hit-and run with Chad Gaudin in the 6tth,
With the Warriors playing how they are, as well as the 49ers having a great draft....the Giants recent struggles have gone fairly unnoticed for me. But being swept by the Padres is unacceptable.
My patience is growing very thin on Marco Scutaro as well. I thought the contract extension was horrible, and that we would really only get 1 productive year out of 3. Now I am questioning if we will even get that 1. I know its only been a month, but dude has been horrible. Made an error on a double play ball this weekend that would have extended the game instead of ending it too. I think its time to move Crawford into the two hole.
When I was driving to work this morning, KNBR was saying that Vogey was having mechanical issues so far this year. They didnt actually address what the specific issues were/are until after I parked in my office parking lot, so I didnt hear what they were.
Just thought I would share this vague piece of information.

Firefox slowing FarmVille, Facebook games down? Try this quick fix
Facebook games are notorious for running like absolute junk at times. (I'm looking at you, FrontierVille.) Thankfully, our friends at Download Squad have found a potential fix to the problem with the help of Lifehacker. Well, at least while running the games in Firefox. According to Download Squad, Firefox takes a snapshot of all the browser tabs you have open every ten seconds so that in the event of a crash, or accidentally closing the browser, your tabs will be restored. Oddly enough, this is actually pretty taxing on Firefox's resources, and harvesting your 10 thousand strawberries in FarmVille doesn't help.
But you can alleviate the problem without shutting off this useful feature entirely--just change how often it saves your tabs. Here's the way to do it from Switched:
In other words, just change the number and Firefox should be able to handle intense games like Zuma Blitz even better than before. However, this only works for games that were created in Flash. If you're having trouble running a game like PGA Tour on Facebook, that might be an issue with your video card's age considering it runs on a 3D engine. In the event that your computer can't run a 3D browser game, I'd say it's time for an upgrade.To do this, type about:config into Firefox's address bar, then in the filter box enter browser.sessionstore.interval. The default value is 10000, which is the number of milliseconds between snapshots. Setting the number to 120000 lengthens the period to two minutes, a more reasonable but still useful period. Of course, you can set it to whatever you want, as long as you keep in mind that you're dealing with milliseconds.

First Pass Q4 GDP Comes in a Bit Light Versus Expectations at 3.2% and vs 2.6% in Q3
The GDP figures are backwards looking and revised to the moon so generally not something that important other than for economists - and in this market where none of the data matter (i.e. yesterday's heightened weekly unemployment claims were forgotten within 3 minutes), the data is especially irrelevant. But for the sake of commenting, the first pass at Q4 2010 came in this morning at 3.2% versus expectation of 3.5%. There will be 2 more revisions to this figure and for all we know it could end up being 2.1% or 4.3% by the time they are finished.
Real final sales at 7.1% will be the eye catcher in this report - especially in an economy that is 70% dependent on consumption. The price deflator was only 0.3% versus expected 1.6%. - effectively this is 'inflation' as measured in the GDP.
If this figure holds, the finally tally for the year 2010 will be a gain of 2.9%, versus the drop of 2.6% of 2009. Again the costs (federal spending, Federal Reserve actions) involved in getting GDP this high were immense - it is a very inorganic number.

Feb 10, 2011 at 11:54 am #1268983
I'm planning a JMT thru SoBo for end of aug/early Sept. 15 days, I've not gone on a multi of this duration and wondering what I should aim for calories/day along with % of protein/carbs/fat/sodium, etc.
I'm 6'2", 190 athletic build and trying to go as light as possible, with 4 planned resupplies (longest would be VVR to Whitney, 6 days) Thinking 3000 cals/day. More or Less? I figured stashing some high calorie food in the resupply that I can eat there before packing up and heading on so if I'm deficient at all I can make up for it there.
Thanks for any advice.Feb 10, 2011 at 12:05 pm #1695021

You can approximate your BMR (how many calories you burn with no activity) with a formula like this one:
BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) – ( 6.8 x age in year )
and then depending upon what sort of hiking you are planning on doing, go from there.
Without doing any of that, I would say 3000 should be a good starting point. You will want to increase your daily calories for the second week, as you'll start to work up an appetite by then.Feb 10, 2011 at 4:04 pm #1695112
"Thinking 3000 cals/day. More or Less?"
Unless you're carrying a lot more body fat that your description implies, you're going to need a lot more than that. I weigh ~137#, very lean, and use ~4200 cal/day with a pack weight of 26# for a 10 day trip, of which ~1500 calories are supplied by body fat and 2700 by carried food. A good way to start your calculations is to do a Google search with the search argument "calorie counter backpacking". Select several of the counters from the list and enter the required variables, making sure to include your pack weight in your body weight. The answers will vary, but you will find that a cluster that represents the "consensus" number of calories. This will give you an approximation of the calories you will need to plan your daily food requirement. If you are carrying a few extra pounds of body fat, factor those into your available calories at a rate of 3500 calories/pound of body fat.Feb 10, 2011 at 4:52 pm #1695127

Most importantly: bring what you like to eat, then bring something else for the other 7 days for when you get tired of the first thing.Feb 10, 2011 at 8:36 pm #1695251

On short trips, almost everyone eats about 15-20 calories per day per pound of body weight: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=35516 Here, "short trips" includes the JMT. The figure can be much higher if you're doing a long through hike (multiple months, where you can't go into calorie debt), if you're doing really high miles (30 mi/day or more), or if you're in cold weather (which you won't be). For your body weight, that works out to about 2800-3800 cal/day, so you're in the right ballpark, maybe a little low.
"I figured stashing some high calorie food in the resupply that I can eat there before packing up and heading on so if I'm deficient at all I can make up for it there."
I did the JMT this summer, and had sort of the same idea, but it didn't really work out well. When I resupplied at Red's Meadows, what I really wanted was the food at the cafe (tuna sandwich and milkshake!!!), not the canned peaches I'd mailed myself. When I resupplied at MTR, I tried to stuff down as much pork liver pate as I could stand, but basically there was only so much food I was hungry for.
"along with % of protein/carbs/fat/sodium, etc."
Standard advice is 50% carbohydrate, 35% fat, 15% protein. This is not totally crucial on a 2-week hike. The densest foods are heavy in fat. If you have too much fat and not enough carbs, your body can't metabolize the fat calories completely, and you'll be left with harmful waste products.
With hindsight, I wish I had oriented my own thinking a little less toward pack weight and nutrition and a little more toward enjoying the hike. Remember, you're doing this for fun. If you spend the last 5 days hating your diet and wishing you could be eating pizza, then you aren't having fun!
It's not really possible to calculate your calories exactly, because it depends completely on how many days you're going to take, and you really don't know that. Too much food is not the end of the world — you'll just have a little extra weight to carry. Too little food is not the end of the world — you'll just lose a little body weight. None of this is crucial on a 2-week hike. If you realize by the time you hit VVR that you're a little low on the calories, just take a zero day at VVR and gorge yourself on pancakes, sweet potatoes, pork chops, and beer.Feb 10, 2011 at 9:31 pm #1695269
Are you intentionally taking extra time on the northern half? There is no right or wrong way of course, but giving yourself nine days to VVR and then going to Whitney in six days seems a little lopsided to me. I have a feeling you may find yourself at VVR faster than you anticipate and you will end up dumping a lot of the food from your 2 resupplies.
Do you know what kind of canister your going to carry? I think you could get by with one resupply at Reds even if you were taking your time and then a second resuply at MTR or VVR.
You may want to considering giving yourself additional time from VVR to Whitney if you have the capacity to store more than six days of food.Feb 10, 2011 at 10:56 pm #1695286

Ben, I agree with that in principle. However, some of us have a health issue so that we have to be careful with that 35% fat. Sure, it is a way to pack in more calories. However, I need to avoid saturated fats where I can. So, I try to substitute more monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. They are still fats, and they still have the calories, but they don't make problems for me.
So, I carry olive oil and oily nuts, but it is hard to eat that many calories in olive oil and oily nuts. I do carry some very lean dehydrated or freeze dried meat.
I have no-fat cheese that I would take, except that it requires refrigeration.
My physician wants me to eat more fish, but I am not a fisherman. Small sealed packets of salmon are good, but they are marginally heavy.
Any other suggestions for really good fats?

I started to prepare for a JMT hike last summer, but it fell through. However, I spent some time preparing my food drops.
If you are leaving from the valley floor, you can plan to buy food at the grocery there, for however many nights before your hike and for your first night getting over to TM. You will still need a bear canister, but your food weight will be pretty low. First pick-up at TM, that should get you to MTR, with maybe buying some food along the way at Reds and VVR (if you stop).
I spent a lot of time at several grocery stores, especially Trader Joe's (if you have access to one) with a calculator and focused on calories/ounce. This will help you get the most calorie dense foods for packing tight into the bear canister. Not surprisingly, looking at cal/oz, you will probably wind up with a lot of foods that we all already know are good for hiking: nuts and nut butters, chocolate, energy/trail bars, some cookies, granola, oatmeal, pesto, olive oil, etc.Feb 11, 2011 at 7:40 pm #1695631
"Any other suggestions for really good fats?"
Flax seed oil. Fish oil capsules, which contain the oils your physician is recommending you get in your diet. Chocolate. Sesame tahini, which is basically sesame seed butter-it is an ingredient in hummus, but can be used like any other nut butter on it own. Any of the nut butters, especially almond. They are great with a little honey or maple syrup mixed in.Feb 11, 2011 at 8:06 pm #1695640
Tom, thanks, I've put some of these items on my grocery store shopping list.
I've been taking fish oil capsules on doctor's orders for a year or two, and it really does have a beneficial effect (as seen in my lab test results).
The flax oil, I am just starting to read about.
Chocolate can be a problem, because typically I end up with the stuff made with lots of palm oil and saturated fats added. I will have to look for semisweet baking chocolate and throw pieces into my trail mix.
I already have peanut butter and almond butter, but again there some bad fats are often mixed in. Plus, I have to spread those nut butters on bread or crackers or something, and they don't pack well in a bear canister. Well, multigrain tortilla bread would.
Olive oil is easy. I just carry a tiny plastic bottle of it and splash a little in when I cook my evening meal, which is typically Quinoa, Couscous, and Rice, mixed with soup base.
It looks bad if I do a long week-long trip and come back heavier than when I started.

Look for some of the high end chocolate. It should be made with no added oils other than cocoa butter. Some of it tastes pretty good, too, up to about 72%. Beyond that it gets too bitter for my taste. YTMV

You can eliminate the bad stuff by using the nut grinding machines in a Whole Foods or some of the coop groceries. Basically they consist of a hopper filled with either peanuts or almonds and a grinder that purees them into nut butter, which comes out of a spout at the bottom of the machine. What you end up with is a pure nut butter. You can also purchase these butters, and others, in the organic food sections at lots of stores. No bad stuff added. You can do it, Bob. It just takes a little reconnaissance and label checking. If you have access to a Whole Foods, that would be a good place to start, as they have an excellent selection of nut butters AND quality chocolates. Seeds of Change makes an excellent selection of chocolates with no harmful ingredients added. A little pricey, but quality stuff. Scharffenberger is another good brand. There are others. Good hunting. ;)Feb 11, 2011 at 8:28 pm #1695657
I'll have to leave behind a small tribute in chocolate at the top of Kearsarge Pass.

Close, but no cigar. That photo was taken just below Anvil Camp coming down from Shepherd Pass last September. I've never been over Kearsarge Pass. Is the resemblance really that close?Feb 12, 2011 at 4:35 pm #1695962
Tom, I don't know, as I've never been over Shepherd Pass.

Trader Joe's also sells sardines and anchovies in olive oil. Dump them in a soup or a rice/quinoa/couscous dish and its a good meal with Omega-3s and protein. Catching fresh trout is of course the best if your bringing a pole.Feb 13, 2011 at 5:17 pm #1696286

Hey Dave,
Unfortunately, I haven't seen them in foil. The tins are really thin and I find the weight is insignificant.Feb 14, 2011 at 4:35 pm #1696724
We plan to be at VVR by day 5 and spend the night, eat, etc and be back on the trail the next day. Of course we've factored in a zero day if we need it but doubtful that early and if we'll even use at all, depends on how our bodies are feeling and if the fish are biting!
Plan is to pack as minimal as possible with just a day's food and make it to Lower Catherdral the first night, get our first resupply at Tulomne (sp?) and goal to hit 1000 Island Lake for night 2 (lofty goal but my hiking partner and I are in pretty good shape and been training for this since last summer). I think the longest lag between resupplies is the end to Whiteny. But that ZERO day could come in handy if needed.
Thanks for the post!Feb 14, 2011 at 4:50 pm #1696733
Great info, thanks!
