@Roq. Yes, that's right. The crowdfunding campaign is to improve the game and none of the stretch goals we have set, affects the core of the game in a substantial way.
The most important goal is the one with the original sound track ($40.000). If we could reach it, for us the campaign would be a success (it is difficult but let's see how it goes).

WATCH amazing street performance video
Imagine walking through a strip plaza and seeing a guy laying on the ground, casually strumming his guitar. Nothing special, right? Until he's joined by strangers who join in his impromptu performance.
It happened in Texas, was picked up virally, made it to Jimmy Kimmel on ABC and now worldwide. WATCH and sing along.

Itinerant music
Myriad encounters
"As musician-inventors and musician-travellers, we endlessly replay our utopias, with Babel as backdrop. The territory to explore is infinite: cultures and memories whose lines we like to shift so that they finally converge. Furthermore, we make migration and the mixing of cultures our territory. Is it perhaps our early exile that led us to return to the source, to follow the tracks of our predecessors, to tirelessly search for creative allies? Whatever it is, this awareness of belonging to several space-times is as basic to us as respiration, as inspiration."
Constantinople is the story of a musical ensemble that chose the journey as its cornerstone—geographical journeys, but also historical, cultural and inner—and to seek inspiration from all sources, to aim for distant horizons. Drawing inspiration the ancient city illuminating East and West, the ensemble, founded in 1998 in Montreal, was conceived as a forum for creation, encounters and cross-fertilization. Over the past decade, the group has developed over 35 new works and staged nearly 132 cities in 25 countries.

Anyone get a chance yet to race any of the newer WRXs? And whats with the "Premium" WRX? Looks no different than the base model WRX...well, I guess they have the 5 door option available, for more $... but besides the fact that the new body style is really ugly to me, what's so special about the newer WRXs? EJ25 engine, no td04 turbo I'm assuming? Or, maybe it's just like the 06-07 WRXs, with the 2.5 but they increased the boost like 2-3psi and got another 30hp out of it.
Either way, anyone get a chance to run with any of these guys? On the highway yesterday, one of the newer looking 5 door "Premium"s was trying to pass me, but I don't think the person really was trying to race or even knew how to drive in the first place actually. I'm guessing an 02-05 Stage 2 and an 06-07 Stage 1 could easily beat the new WRXs, what do you guys think?

Video: Rubio heckled over immigration stance at conservative conference
posted at 11:16 am on September 3, 2013 by Guy Benson
Sen. Marco Rubio was greeted warmly by hundreds of conservative activists gathered at AFP's 'Defending the Dream' summit in Orlando over the weekend, but a handful of attendees weren't in such a forgiving mood (via Leah Barkoukis):
The Palm Beach Post described the dynamics in the ballroom:
While Rubio's Friday hecklers were a tiny minority in a mostly positive crowd, it was clear in conversations with individual activists that Rubio's support for the Senate's immigration bill presents problems with the GOP's conservative base. "He did it. He drank the Kool-Aid. I was all for him. I'm a tea party gal, I was all for Rubio," said Terry Franklin of New Mexico, who says she now prefers Cruz or Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul…Jacksonville tea party leader Billie Tucker said she disagrees with Rubio on immigration but considers him "a great conservative" and hasn't written him off.
If you watch the clip above, it's clear that Rubio was overwhelmingly embraced by the crowd — even if many in the audience harbored vehement opposition to the (fatally-flawed) immigration reform package he championed in the Senate. Rubio still has some bridges to repair with the base, but if Friday's reception is any indication, the healing process is already underway. And 2016 is still a long way off. That being said, the inarguable star of the show in Orlando was another freshman Senator:
"Run, Ted, run!"

(81.54 kB) A.Silicon caulk is not the best choice to use with any wood trim. It works best in sealing the joint between two pieces of non-porous material, such as ceramic tile, metal, or glass. The oil in cedar will reduce the adhesion of silicon caulk, which should be applied to clean, dry surfaces. An acrylic or urethane-based caulk works best where one of the materials being sealed is wood.How the caulk is applied is even more critical than the type of caulk used. The caulk should be applied so it bonds to two faces across a gap. That way, movement of the materials will place the bead in tension or compression, rather than peel the caulk away from one of the surfaces. A three-sided fillet of caulk in a corner will almost always fail. Login or Register to continue reading

text: %@ Page Language="VB" %> Feptias Advice Centre: SIP Servers Important information: The company that previously traded as "Feptias Limited" has now changed its name to "Smartvox Limited". The name was changed to more clearly reflect the business's focus in IP telephony. This web site is unlikely to have the most up-to-date information about the company or its products and you are advised to visit the new web site instead at: http://www.smartvox.co.uk The nearest equivalent to this page offering support and technical advice is here: http://kb.smartvox.co.uk/index.php/voip-sip/sip-servers-explained/ SIP Servers SIP is a highly versatile protocol and it can be used to establish a variety of services that extend beyond VoIP to video, Presence and beyond. Even within the voice environment, SIP can be used to implement various services that add functionality and features on top of the basic end-to-end voice connection. This range of functions is reflected in the surprisingly large number of so-called "SIP Server" types. In this context the term "SIP Server" describes a particular service that can be implemented using SIP rather than being a reference to a physical device (a PC for example). One hardware device, such as a Dell or HP Server, can be used as the host for several different SIP Server services. This should make more sense as you see what types of SIP Server there are: Proxy Server A SIP Proxy Server acts as an intermediate router for SIP requests and is always located somewhere in the path between two end points. A SIP Proxy Server would never be the end point itself. When it receives a SIP request it will examine it and decide whether to pass it on unmodified, change it in some way and forward it, re-route it to an alternative destination (or destinations - see "Forking Proxy below") or reject it. When it rejects a request, it must send back a response giving a reason. One of the core functions of a Proxy Server is to ensure that a SIP INVITE request is routed to the correct onward destination. It would normally have a "dial plan" for this purpose. The actual destination might be a PSTN gateway, another Proxy Server, a SIP phone (often referred to as a User Agent) or a Media Server. Forking Proxy This is just a specialised type of Proxy Server that duplicates the SIP request and forwards it to multiple locations. It must also handle the multiple responses and filter them to ensure that the device that sent the original request is not confused. Redirect Server This is another specialised type of Proxy Server that responds to SIP INVITE requests by returning a 3xx response. Alternatively, it may reject the call and send a response to this effect. The main 3xx responses are 300, 301 and 302. Along with with the 3xx response, the Redirect Server sends back one or more alternative addresses using the SIP Contact header. The device that initiated the call and sent the original INVITE receives the 3xx response and knows that it must re-try the call using the address (or addresses) provided by the Redirect Server. Registrar Server (and Location Server) A server that accepts and handles SIP REGISTER requests. It is normally combined with the function of Location Server - a Location Server simply being a database which stores information about the current location of a SIP User Agent. It is normal for a SIP phone - or other SIP User Agent - to register itself with one or more Registrar Servers as soon as it is is switched on. The registration will almost always involve authentication with a User ID and password. The User ID for many SIP devices is the same as its phone number. Once registered, it is easy for calls to be routed to the device provided the call passes through a Proxy Server that has access to the Location Server. Without this registration process, your IP phone would have to always be located in the same place using the same IP address and that IP address would have to be hard coded into the dial plan of the device calling it (or in the dial plan of a Proxy Server used by the calling device). Media Server This is the name given to automated call processing servers (also known as IVR's) in the VoIP World. A Media Server acts as the end point for a SIP call and typically plays pre-recorded voice announcements and prompts, accepts DTMF key presses or spoken instructions to allow it to implement interactive services such as voicemail, tele-banking, tele-voting etc. Media Proxy This term describes a service that acts as a transparent bridge, between two networks, for media streams in a VoIP call. Servers that offer far-end NAT traversal often use an integrated Media Proxy. They act as a Proxy Server, but modify the contents of the SIP packets (in both directions) to make it look as if the terminating device requires the media stream to be opened at the address of the Media Proxy rather than at its own address. This means the device that initiated the call and the one that answered it have a media stream connection that goes via the Media Proxy which is sitting between them (transparently proxying the media). The Media Proxy is always on a public IP address which means devices behind NAT are able to initiate connections to it where they would not have been able to initiate connections to each other. Gateway Server or PSTN Gateway Server If you want to make calls from your VoIP phone to a phone on the conventional telephone network then your call has to be routed through a PSTN Gateway Server. The same is true if you want to call a mobile phone, although it is possible for the mobile service provider to make this gateway available as part of their infrastructure rather than requiring all VoIP calls to first break out to the PSTN and then onward to the mobile network. PSTN stands for Public Switched Telehone Network and it the name given to the traditional telephone infrastructure that serves all the landlines and telephones such as are still to be found in most homes. Most businesses still rely almost entirely on the PSTN for their inbound call traffic and only use VoIP for some outbound calls and for internal calls within the organisation (perhaps between branches that are geographically remote but which have existing high speed links for their data network). B2BUA (Back to Back User Agent) In some ways, this is like a cross between a Proxy Server and a Gateway Server. Technically - in SIP terms - it acts as the end point for an incoming call. In this respect it is unlike a Proxy Server. However, it would make use of a dial plan to determine where to forward the call and would initiate a new call to the required destination then links the audio paths together so that both remote parties can talk to each other. You could say that a Gateway Server is therefore a B2BUA, but strictly a B2BUA must be linking two VoIP calls together whereas a Gateway is linking a VoIP call to a conventional PSTN call. To summarise, a B2BUA acts as the "man-in-the-middle" for a SIP call path and appears to be the end point for both call legs. This means that it does not forward SIP requests and responses like a Proxy Server, but it does allow calls to be routed onward under control of a dial plan and it links the audio streams of the calling and called parties so they will think they are connected directly to each other. You may be wondering why this is useful - the answer is that it can greatly assist in allowing calls to penetrate networking boundaries such as between the Internet and a private LAN. It can also be used to modify the encoding of the speech on each leg of the call if the B2BUA is capable of so-called "transcoding". Asterisk is an example of a B2BUA capable of transcoding. SBC (Session Border Controller) This term is sometimes used to describe a server that incorporates some of the services described above in such a way as to provide control of VoIP connections at the edge of a private network where it meets the Internet. It's primary function is to control and facilitate access to VoIP devices on the network that it protects. However, some manufacturers also describe far-end NAT traversal devices as SBC's which is probably a mis-use of the terminology, but then again the definition is somewhat ambiguous. If it is acting as a far-end NAT traversal device then it would either have to incorporate a Media Proxy Server or it would have to act as a B2BUA. In fact, for an SBC to work as a B2BUA with two interfaces - one connected to the Internet and the other to the protected subnet - makes a lot of sense. Firstly, it overcomes problems of routing and IP address substitutions for SIP packets traversing between two different networks, but it also permits a high level of control over calls that are attempting to enter or leave the protected network. Asterisk can be used very effectively in this role. Contact Feptias on 01727 221221 or by e-mail:

Acid Flashback Friday: John Olerud Hits Back To Back Jacks Off John Farrell
I don't know about you guys, but I've become so accustomed to watching John Farrell in the Blue Jays dugout that I often forget he had a playing career.
While Farrell must enjoy seeing the Blue Jays every day, back in his playing days he might have been a little more fearful of the bluebirds.
For this week's Acid Flashback Friday, we take a look back to a game where John Olerud hit back to back home runs off John Farrell during his days with the California Angels.
The game was May 31st 1993 in California. John Farrell was on the mound for the California Angels, and the Blue Jays were not too kind to him that day. The Blue Jays pounded Farrell for 8 runs, and 4 home runs; 2 of which came from John Olerud.
Pat Borders and Roberto Alomar also homered off John Farrell that faithful afternoon in California, and Farrell hit the showers after pitching six and a third innings for the Angels. That was the first and only start John Farrell made against the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993.

EPA Rules: Clean Energy Opportunity or Job Killer?
Opinions very widely today on the impact of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of major cuts in carbon dioxide emissions from U.S. power plants which were released today, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Bill Hammond, President of the Texas Association of Business, says the proposal will cost thousands of jobs and do little to clean up the environment.
"Unilateral action to cut power plant emissions only takes away choices from industrial users, causes the cost of electricity to skyrocket, and will mean thousands of Americans will be on the couch instead of on the job," Hammond said.
He said the result will be sharply higher prices for electricity.
"If you manage to keep your job you may not be able to afford to keep the lights on."
But Luke Meztger, who heads the group 'Environment Texas,' says this is predictable refrain we've heard from business groups for years whenever new environmental regulations are proposed.
"This is the same kind of 'the sky is falling' argument we have heard from business groups for decades when it comes to environmental standards, and it's just not true," Metzger said. He said claims that CO2 emissions reductions will cause electricity bills to skyrocket have been 'debunked' by the Washington Post.
"Texas has already made big strides in cutting carbon pollution through wind power and energy efficiency," he said.
Metzger says the only way to get a handle on the growing problem of climate change is to take action, and he has support among Democrats in the Texas Legislature.
"I applaud the EPA's commitment to regulating carbon pollution," said State Rep Elliot Naishtat (D-Austin). "Scientists agree that global warming is areal and poses an urgent threat to the health and safety of our community. These rules will protect the health of our families and the future or our children."
But Gov. Rick Perry sees it from a different side.
"President Obama's decision to impose drastic new restrictions on America's energy industry is the most direct assault yet on the energy providers that employ thousands of Americans," Perry said. "If President Obama is truly interested in an 'all of the above' energy strategy, he would do well to look to states like Texas that have seen tremendous success at diversifying energy sources while protecting the environment from harmful pollutants."

We love our Adorable Babies feature, but I can't ever imagine taking the idea of adorable babies so far as to sign a seven-month-old up for modeling classes!
According to this article from The Boston Globe, hundreds of parents eagerly sign their little cuties up to appear in ads for everything from clothing to toys, bath products and accessories each year. The parents in the story say they are eager to save money for their kids' college funds, and to commemorate how cute they were. Some even say they can tell their baby "loves the attention."
Do you think the parents of baby models are just having fun with their little ones, or is there something exploitative about baby modeling? Would you ever passionately pursue a modeling career for your little one? You tell us!

Do these ads paint dairy farmers as bogans?
November 07, 2012 , 5:48 PM by Patrick Mitchell
They're two fictional characters that star in a series of advertisements for a major dairy company.
The ads have sparked outrage.
Farmers, particularly suppliers of the Murray Goulburn Co-Operative, say the ads give the impression that dairy farmers are bogans.
Have a listen to our interview today with dairy farmer Brooke Somerville and marketing guru Barry Urquhart.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
My children love the add and that brand will be looked for in the super market. The dairy industry would start to complain if the major super markets started to get negative feed back on that add not to carry that brand. Enjoy the increase in sales and a better return in the Farmers pockets.

text: Iverdone? Iverson's suitors aren't chasing a prize Randy Hill - Fox Sports "Detroit seems like a fine starting point for this examination. OK, we're all aware the team that had reached the Eastern Conference finals six years in a row turned into a catastrophe after trading point guard Chauncey Billups to the Denver Nuggets for Iverson early last season. And we know Billups turned the Nuggets into a contender while the Pistons staggered toward the extinction of Iverson's contract. It also should be noted the Pistons seemed a bit past their expiration date even before the Billups deal. But Iverson — and his reluctance to play offense without dominating the ball or contribute much effort on defense — was the catalyst for calamity. And on a team attempting to develop its young core, it was easy for the Pistons to wave bye-bye." Iverson's suitors aren't chasing a prize - FOX Sports on MSN

Viktor Blom got off to a good start this month and won a seven digit figure last week, but things got even better over the last couple of days.
"Isildur1" has a reputation for being fearless and he never avoids a fight, even when his opponent starts with the first chance. He frequently locked horns with Phil Galfond and Dan Cates, but this time the Swede was unstoppable and beat the poker pros for significant amounts.
Cates was in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons a few days ago as he was the first to cross the psychological threshold of $1 million in losses. Just when we thought that nobody would strip him of this infamous title, Phil Galfond joined him to the rail by losing $1,011,872. Most of this money went straight into Viktor's Full Tilt Poker account as he made short work of Phil at 2-7 triple draw and 8-Game tables.
The two poker professionals started playing at the $300/$600 Pot-Limit Omaha tables and nothing of importance happened in the first half of the session. As action heated up, Blom shifted into an aggressive gear and he was lucky enough to win the big pots for more than two hours. After roughly 6 hours of play, he was $600k up and even though Galfond held his ground for the remainder of the session, he was unable to close the gap.
Prior to this encounter, Phil won six digit figures almost each day for more than a week and was fairly confident that his return to online poker will be very lucrative. Galfond was dominant at both $2,000/$4,000 2-7 triple draw and $200/$400 CAP pot-limit Omaha tables, but at the end of the week all his winnings were wiped out by Blom.
Galfond and Cates are without doubt the week's biggest losers, but there are others who anxiously wait for a new week to begin. Among those seeking redemption are "samrostan" who lost over $400k, "FakeSky" who dropped $300k and Gus Hansen who lost almost $150k in roughly 15,000 hands.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, we have a handful of successful players who won a combined $500k yesterday and Blom sits at the top of the list. Yesterday alone he won $267,000, but over the entire week he added another million to his account. Sebastien Ruthenberg who uses the nickname "taktloss47" was the second most successful player, with a profit of $145,000, while "GSinishtaj" and "thecortster" won around $60k each.
These were the most successful four players yesterday and their corresponding winnings:
Isildur1 – $267,000
taktloss47 – $145,000
GSinishtaj -$61,000
thecortster -$58,800

to the Samsung Galaxy S III. Starting to feel better now? "Anything that we can do that's not dependent on hardware like infrared, we'll definitely bring to all the flagship devices," DiCarlo said. And that includes several of the new features for the camera. We could see S Translator, S Health and the S Voice Drive, to name just a few, eventually join the Galaxy S III and perhaps even the Samsung Galaxy S II as well.
One thing that can't be resolved with a software update is the fact that the new model is smaller in size than the Galaxy S III, despite the larger screen. And then foreshadowing what could be a 6.3 inch screen on the Samsung GALAXY Note III, DiCarlo said that we have yet to see how big phone screens can get. We have a feeling that we are about to find out.

Study Spanish with Violeta!
by telephone or Skype from Mexico
There is no easy way to learn a language. Enjoyable ways, yes. Easy, no. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to pick your pocket.
A language consists of its grammar and its vocabularly. You know both, or you don't know the language.
Why study by telephone? Pour yourself a stiff drink, sit down, call Berlitz, and ask what they charge for one-on-one lessons with an experienced teacher. When you have recovered, consider: With Violeta, you don't have to drive to wherever Spanish lessons are given. You can study from a log cabin in Wyoming, if you have internet. There are no phone charges, as we have various all-you-can-eat phone services. Homework is easily done by email, any desired books are available on Amazon, all sorts of resources are available online (see below), and you pay with PayPal (you don't need a PayPal account, just a credit card).
Studying by phone is not a wild or experimental idea. It works, providing that the student does. It was a wild idea a while back when a friend visited us, decided he wanted to learn Spaniah, but had a complex schedule in the US that prevented using a commercial school. And there was sticker shock. Let's try it, said Vi. Anonther friend came aboard (who traveled a lot, so Vi got calls from places like Chiang Mai and Upper Volta). The first and more advanced now reads Spanish newspapers online, watches movies in Spanish, and would have no trouble navigating Buenos Aires solo. The second is about three-quarters there.
About Her
Graduate, University of Guadalajara, with fifteen years of experience teaching Spanish to foreigners, including Americans, Japanese, Germans, Koreans, consular officials, Jesuits, and me. She could teach Cervantes to a lawn chair.
Format and Substance of Lessons
Highly flexible. Left to herself, Violeta tends toward a mixture of conversation, grammer, and reading. If you are studying grammar, say, in a university, she can provide practice in conversation with corrections. When you are ready to begin reading newspapers, she will assign newspaper stories dealing with whatever interests you. For example, should you be interested in the drug cartels, she can assign stories from El Diario of Ciudad Juarez. She will teach at your pace. And she's pleasant.
She teaches in Spanish. If you are a beginner, she will help with vocabulary: If you don't know what "perro" means, she will tell you "dog." But very quickly, it becomes all Spanish. After a bit you think, "Wait. I just spent an hour talking to a Mexican, without a word of English. Who woulda thunk it?" Yep.
Missed Lessons
No problem. Lessons can be made up at mutual convenience of you and Vi. Advance warning appreciated, but not essential. She also may occasionally miss a lesson for the usual reasons of traffic jams, illness. asteroid strikes, and so on. If you need to go to remote parts of New Guinea for six weeks, you can stop and start again on return if not eaten by the New Guineans.
Frequency of Lessons
Up to you. Generally people with jobs will find a lesson a week plus homework quite enough.
Time Zones (We are in the green zone.)
External Aids
The web offers many sites of use to students. For example:
A good Spanish-English dictionary
Spanish newspapers online
El Diario of Juarez
El Informador Guadalajara
Radio Stations Online
Radio UDG, the station of the University of Guadalajara. It has news, coverage of the arts, and such, usually in very clear Spanish.
The rate is twenty dollars an hour, preferably payable by PayPal in advance. You can pay by the lesson or by the month, the former being preferable for the first few lessons so that you are sure you want to continue. Checks, wire transfers are possible but awkward and, in the case of mail, slow and not entirely reliable.
Because this is Mexico, the PayPal page comes up in Spanish, but you can switch it to English with the button in the upper right corner.

It's Monday. I'm back home in Utah getting back into the groove of normal life. My sister, Jessica is home from the hospital stabilized but still blacking out. It was hard to leave her with so many questions unanswered but there was really no choice and nothing else for me to do. So homeward bound I went leaving my mom behind to help take care of Jessica and her kiddos.
While we were still in Idaho, we managed to get all the kids out of the house, dress in clean clothes (which was quite the feat by itself,) and headed up to the BYUI Gardens for a photo shoot. I had forgotten about this beautiful little place. It was the perfect backdrop for our cousin pictures. I attended Ricks College way back when… and I have sweet memories of the place. I specifically remember sitting under the trees and writing my missionary who was off in Italy. Dreaming of my future life. I also dated a cute Horticulture Major who created a romantic dinner amongst the shrubbery. Ah, young love. I didn't marry that missionary or the Horticulturist, by the way.
Oh yea, back to the present…
We really wanted to to take advantage of having all of the grand kids together. Jessica is usually the photographer in our family and I really don't know what I was doing no matter how many pins I look at about photographing kids and photo composition. My biggest challenge was trying to convince all the kids to smile at the same time. They weren't very cooperative and I could barely get them to sit still for half a minute.
Here is everyone in order of birthdays. I think it's cute even if no one is looking at the camera.
The kids really just wanted to run around and explore all the fun little areas that have there. Castles and fancy walls and little water features. I tried to follow them around and get shots that could go up on Grandma's wall (because my group shots were pretty much a major failure.)
Grandma's girls.
Emma turned out to be my best smiler. Is that a word? smiler?
These two turkeys weren't cooperative at all.
At the end of the day I realized Leah had her dress on backwards the whole time! Bah, I'm awesome like that. I should have done something nicer with her hair than just brush it. Sheesh.
My sweet boy.
This little guy gave me some decent shots.
I wanted to get a shot of just my kids. It was a total flop. Sam was completely done with all and any photo taking at this point. Boo hoo!
Here's my little sis with her darling red head. (Can I have one of those?)
So that's it. I'm not sure I have any group shots that are good enough to go up on a wall. I might have to photoshop some heads and smiles on a few of our little rascals.
Oh well, I guess it's the memory that counts.
The trip defiantly had it's ups and downs. It was a good spending time with my nieces and nephews. My kids just adore them. Although things were crazy with Jessica it was still a good trip. I really hope my sister can figure out what's going on with her health. Soon.
1 comment on Home Again plus Cousin Pics
Such cute pictures even if no one is cooperating. I didn't realize Sabra had a red head. So much fun! So sorry to hear about Jessica. I hope her health returns to normal quickly. How scary! But how blessed she was to have you all there to help at this time in her life. Glad you are all safely home. Prayers for your sister.

Hey all!
Was an active member waaaay back in the day. Used to have a 2005 STi. I've been through a couple of cars since then. Most recently gave up a moderately modified 08 G37S for a 2013 STi hatch. Happy to be here. I forgot how damn fun these cars are after driving around in that fat big of a luxury coupe.
So... hi!
Some people might remember me from WRXFanatics when that was a thing.

I was on the phone, listening to the actor and director John Malkovich talk about his latest projects, and trying to come up with a description that does his purring voice justice. He speaks lightly, quietly. He metes out his syllables slowly, but also slides them into one another, from word to word and from sentence to sentence. He sounds partly bored and partly amused, like he's whispering to you, toying with you, and tired of you, all at the same time. I was mentally comparing it to the sound a snake with a full belly might make moving through rustling grass, when he said this: "I sound like a kind of girl version of Tom Waits." That works, too.
We were talking about Malkovich's voice because, though audiences are familiar with its eclectic rhythms from his many films – from 1984's The Killing Fields, through 1988's Dangerous Liaisons, which made him a star, and 1999's Being John Malkovich, which took his eccentric persona to loony heights – lately he's been using it in a way most of us haven't heard: He's singing opera. Well, a kind of theatre/opera hybrid. The first piece he did, The Infernal Comedy, has been touring the world for the past four years. Now he's bringing his second, The Giacomo Variations, to Montreal's Place des Arts on June 4 and 5, followed by Toronto's Elgin Theatre on June 7, 8 and 9.
This phase of his career began when a mutual friend introduced Malkovich, now 59, to Martin Haselbock, the Austrian-born conductor, organist and composer. Haselbock asked Malkovich if he'd consider doing a piece with his orchestra, the Vienna Akademie Ensemble, and eventually they agreed on a doozy: the true story of Jack Unterweger, an Austrian novelist, playwright, theatre director, poet and journalist, who was also a serial killer. After he was sentenced to life for murder in 1974, Unterweger's writings from prison were so popular that 700 intellectuals petitioned for his release. When they succeeded, he travelled the world as a journalist and lecturer, while continuing to commit murders in Graz, Prague and Los Angeles. Imprisoned again in 1994, he committed suicide in his cell.
"It's a famous story in Austria, and it resonates in Los Angeles because Unterweger went there to write a piece about the sex trade for an Austrian magazine, and murdered three of the prostitutes he interviewed," Malkovich says. Haselbock's frequent collaborator, Michael Sturminger, wrote the piece, titled The Infernal Comedy, as Unterweger's confession from beyond the grave, accompanied by two sopranos and a full baroque orchestra. Together Malkovich (as Unterweger), Haselbock (conducting) and Sturminger (directing) have performed it about 100 times in 70 cities; when we spoke, Malkovich was about to go on stage with it in Tel Aviv. "I don't actually sing, maybe mercifully for the public, in The Infernal Comedy," he says, "but I love working with Michael and Martin and the singers so much that we decided to do another piece."
That second collaboration, The Giacomo Variations, had its world premiere in Vienna in January, 2011. Based on the memoir of Giacomo Casanova, the legendary Italian writer and womanizer, it stars Malkovich, along with three other actor/singers (different people, depending upon the city) and a 45-piece period orchestra, rechannelling arias from Mozart's Don Giovanni, Cosi fan tutte and The Marriage of Figaro.
"Casanova was a terrifically interesting thinker and writer, who expressed himself beautifully, for a huge amount of his century," Malkovich says. "Though he was obsessed with women, he was constantly in love, and often being left. He's not what we think he was when we hurl his name around. He was quite a deep thinker, and quite a deep feeler. It's a romantic piece."
And this time Malkovich sings. "A few hundred thousand cigarettes ago, I was a tenor," he says. "Now I sing some tenor, some baritone. I don't have much top range left. I'm actually a boy soprano." In fact, one night in Hamburg, he was singing with the German soprano Sophie Klussmann, "and she whispered to me very quietly, 'You're singing my lines,'" Malkovich says, clearly tickled by the memory.
Much of Malkovich's career has been on stage – he co-founded Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 1976; won an Emmy for a television adaptation of his 1984 Broadway debut as Biff in Death of a Salesman; and continues to do plays regularly. "I like theatre because it's a living organism, it's ephemeral," he says. "But nothing in theatre quite compares to the power of this music" in Giacomo. "And you don't have to do eight shows a week, or commit to six or 12 months at a time. I've done that for the vast majority of my life, but it no longer holds the appeal it once did."
He prefers the Malkovich variations, a rich mix of acting, directing, and general renaissance-man living, in the U.S. and abroad. Here's a small slice of his life of late: On a recent trip to L.A., he looped scenes for Red 2, the sequel to 2010's hit about ex-CIA agents who reunite for black-ops work, co-starring Helen Mirren and Bruce Willis; it's due in August. He also did some voice work for a top-secret, upcoming Dreamworks animated film – "I'm actually not supposed to be talking about it," he says – and he's playing the pirate Blackbeard in Crossbones, an upcoming NBC series.
Malkovich arrives in Montreal fresh from performing The Giacomo Variations in Prague. His production company, Mr. Mudd, will release two films this year, Jason Reitman's Labor Day, and Diego Luna's biopic about Cesar Chavez. He directed a French production of a new translation of Christopher Hampton's play Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which is coming to New York in July. He hopes to put The Giacomo Variations on film this summer in Lisbon, and to spend time with his family – his long-term partner Nicoletta Payran, whom he met when she was the second assistant director on his 1989 film The Sheltering Sky, and their children Amandine and Loewy – at their homes in southern France and Cambridge, Mass.
"I don't think I've figured out a magic formula; I think I've just been lucky," Malkovich says. "I don't want to do big Hollywood movies as a steady diet, but I have great fun doing them, and it seems to me that every once in a while you have to do a movie that people want to see. You'd be shocked to hear I even have friends in Hollywood."
I can hear a small smile in his voice on that line. Then he continues, "I've done a lot of art films – and maybe they weren't good, it's not for me to say – but people often have precious little interest in things like that, or they don't get well distributed or well marketed, who knows. I don't really think about it that much.
"But I never feel bored, or feel there isn't something I should work on or try to do better, or find a solution to in performance or writing or editing," he concludes. "If I didn't like something, I simply wouldn't do it any more."Report Typo/Error

The next versions of Renault Samsung Motors Inc.'s SM series of cars reportedly will be built on platforms produced by Renault SA from 2009, instead of their current Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.-developed architectures.
The Korean daily newspaper Chosen Ilbo quotes Renault Samsung CEO Jean-Marie Hurtiger as saying the just-released SM5 New Impression model will be replaced by a new car built on the same platform as Renault's Laguna III model, which launches this October.
Hurtiger also is quoted as saying the SM3 small sporty car will be replaced by a car built from Renault's Megane II architecture, while the platform that is to replace the current Vel Satis will be used for the new SM7 sedan.
The information comes during a question and answer session following a news conference to introduce the upgraded SM5 New Impression, a source tells Ward's.
A Renault Samsung spokesman neither confirms nor denies the report, telling Ward's, "I can't release information on projects under development."
At the news conference, Hurtiger says he expects the revised SM5 New Impression to sell 6,000 units per month, helping to offset the auto maker's domestic sales declines.
He projects the SM5 New Impression and a new (unnamed) SUV that goes on sale at the end of the year will help boost total sales by 7.4% to 172,300 units, of which 120,000 will be sold in Korea.
Hurtiger says Renault Samsung invested 200 billion won ($217 million) to redesign the New Impression, which benefits from a new 4-cyl. 2.0L engine produced at the auto maker's engine plant in Busan.
Various Renault plants around the world will also get the new engine later this year, he says.
The SM5 New Impression sells in Korea from 20 million won-25.5 million won ($21,676-$27,636).
Meanwhile, a Paris news report says Renault Samsung may produce a large version of the Renault Espace multipurpose vehicle at its Busan plant in the 2009-2010 timeframe.

Sorry if this has been covered before, I tried to use the search and got "zip".
On our 2003 DGC ES the overhead console is constantly displaying a very annoying "Perform Service" message. I have looked through the manual a couple of times for the secret voodoo dance of button pushing while rubbing my wife's back side and drawn a blank. I know that this can be done because a technician at a dealership rattled of the sequence of events to me one day; however, he said it all so fast that by the time I got to the car to write it all down, I managed to get it wrong. Grrrr.
So, do any of you DC MiniVan gurus know the mystery dance to reset the service reminder?
Thanks in advance.

Further education
Angele Grech was recently awarded a Master of Science in Skills and Performance from the University of Leicester, UK.
Ms Grech read for a BA (Hons) in Business Management from the University of Malta and later obtained a post-graduate diploma in Education from the same University. She has occupied various positions within the financial services sector and currently teaches full-time at the Giovanni Curmi Higher Secondary School.
As a professional worker, she highly believes that the performance of both the individual employee and that of the modern organisation is highly dependent on the constant enhancement of work-related skills. Her course of studies aimed to provide a deeper understanding on how organisations can make strategic use of skills available within their workplace and how these skills may positively affect their performance to successfully meet the demands of the 21st century.
The choice of topic for her MSc. dissertation was highly influenced by the remarkable interest which currently surrounds the notion of emotional competences, or those sets of emotional and social skills that are employed within specific work contexts. In fact, her academic study was aimed at bringing to light and elaborating on those emotional competences of teachers which contribute towards performance in further education.
As a practitioner in a post-secondary institution that caters for students drawing from a very broad spectrum of socio-economic and academic backgrounds, in her study Ms Grech considered skills and performance in further education from a diverse perspective. Her work does not follow the customary trajectory that contemplates student grades or scores – rather, in drawing attention to the further education students' perception of teachers' skills, and how such skills serve to secure these learners' commitment, Ms Grech's study serves to distinctively contribute towards the concept of quality education.
Ms Grech was able to further her studies following the award of a STEPS scholarship, partly financed by the EU – European Social Fund (ESF) under Operational Programme II – Cohesion Policy 2007-2013, Empowering People for More Jobs and a Better Quality of Life.

California High-Speed Rail Authority
Federal officials scolded the California High-Speed Rail Authority over its lackluster efforts to involve minority-owned and other small businesses in contracts to build a high-speed train system.
The Federal Railroad Administration's Office of Civil Rights stopped short of declaring that the authority discriminated against minority businesses. But the agency ordered state officials to take immediate steps to improve the chances for disadvantaged businesses to compete for some of the billions of dollars that the federal government has given the state to build the initial stages of the project in the San Joaquin Valley.
Help us do more.
Thursday's order was a response to a complaint filed in December by the Associated Professionals and Contractors, or APAC, an Oakland-based nonprofit advocacy group. The complaint accused the state rail authority of systematically excluding minority-owned businesses from bidding for work on the statewide $43 billion project.
Federal officials said their investigation of the complaints could not establish that the rail authority violated federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, color or national origin. But the authority "unquestionably has had little commitment to collecting accurate statistics on the amount of contract dollars it awards to women-owned and minority-owned businesses," Calvin Gibson, the FRA's civil-rights director, said in Thursday's decision.
The authority's lack of a policy to actively promote opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses "could potentially result in a violation in the future," Gibson added.
About $3 billion in federal grants for the initial construction include requirements that the state rail authority agrees to provide "maximum practicable opportunities" for small businesses and veteran-owned businesses, and to ensure "that all individuals — regardless of race, gender, age, disability, and national origin — benefit" from the project.
The decision orders the rail authority to take a number of steps within the next 60 days to comply with its obligations to receive federal money. Those include organizing a program to help small and minority-owned firms compete for contracts; naming an officer who will be responsible for the program; developing a disadvantaged-business program; establishing a directory that identifies all qualifying small or disadvantaged businesses eligible to bid; creating a Business Advisory Council to bring small-business issues to the rail authority's board of directors; and creating a comprehensive plan for compliance with federal grant agreements.
"This is a great victory for minority-owned businesses who want the opportunity to compete for contracting opportunities, particularly on an enormous public works project such as this one," said Oren Sellstrom, an attorney for the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, a San Francisco organization that lodged the complaint on behalf of APAC.
But APAC president Diana LaCome said she's waiting to see how the rail authority responds to the federal decision, which comes one week after an industry forum in Fresno in which state officials urged would-be prime contractors and small businesses in the Valley to team up to bid on the first construction projects in the region.
"At least we're seeing some movement and outreach to small businesses, and we're getting a lot of lip service from the authority," LaCome said. "But we'll see. The FRA has given them 60 days to move concretely in that direction."
A spokeswoman for the rail authority said the agency already is making strides to improve its performance when it comes to recruiting and encouraging diversity in its contracting.
"That complaint was issued nearly a year ago, and since that time we've developed an aggressive small-business engagement plan," spokeswoman Rachel Wall said. "And we will ensure the program is strengthened moving forward.
"It is imperative that we work with our business community to provide opportunities for business at all levels. The project will be stronger for the effort."
The reporter can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 559-441-6319. This story resulted from a partnership among California news organizations following the state's high-speed rail program: The Fresno Bee, The Sacramento Bee, California Watch, The Bakersfield Californian, The Orange County Register, the San Francisco Chronicle, The (Riverside) Press-Enterprise and The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Thanks to a $2,310 donation by the Deputy J.D. Paugh Memorial Foundation, the department will be able to purchase three Kenwood NX200 portable radios, which come complete with lapel microphones, additional antennas and batteries, and service plans.
Anyone with chili-cooking prowess is asked to come cook their special recipe Saturday for the third annual Chilly Chili Cook-Off.
The event will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Evans Towne Center Park.
"You don't have to be a business or a pro chili-cooker," said Kelly Garcia, an event organizer and office manager for the organization. "If you think you've got a good recipe and you want to join, it's just fun."
Two new Grovetown City Council members took their oaths of offices at the city's first monthly meeting of the year.
Retired school teacher Sylvia Martin and hairdresser Vicki Cook were sworn into office before the meeting began on Monday.
Martin and Cook were elected in November to replace incumbent Bruce Stoddard and Lee Briggs, who was appointed to fill the more than four months of former Councilman Sonny McDowell's term. Stoddard, who served 12 years on the council, did not seek reelection.
The following accounts were taken from Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident reports:
Nephew arrested for beating uncle
An Appling man was arrested Friday after a beating left his uncle unconscious.
Steven Dale Ashburn, 25, of Penguin Drive, was charged with aggravated battery and was being held in the Columbia County Detention Center on Monday without bond, according to jailers.
Grovetown's community center is a hopping place.
Most weeknights, area residents flock to Liberty Park Community Center to work out or participate in one of the many programs held there.
"We probably have more coming in for the classes," said Jennifer Evans, the Special Events Coordinator who oversees the community center. "I think the more classes that we had here, the more people in the community found out about us and it went from there."
A judge is considering a new trial for a Harlem man convicted in a 2007 fatal wreck.
Brandon Christopher Newman, 31, was sentenced to 22 years in prison after being found guilty of two counts of vehicular homicide, serious injury by vehicle, driving under the influence and reckless driving in a February 2010 trial.
The trial was Newman's second. The first, in November 2008, was declared a mistrial when the jury could not reach a unanimous decision.
A Columbia County sheriff's deputy was seriously injured Sunday after she wrecked a motorcycle during training.
Tiffanie Marie Smithwick, 23, was training on her motorcycle at about 10:45 a.m. in a back parking lot of the Evans Government Complex in Evans, according to sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris.
While making a left turn, Smithwick was unable to avoid hitting a concrete light pole base, according to a sheriff's office accident report.
Smithwick was thrown off the motorcycle and hit the light pole with her head and suffered several injuries.
A second person died from injuries sustained in a crash that took the life of an Evans teen a week ago.
Former Greenbrier High School student Helen Reid, 18, died when the vehicle she was riding in hit a tree near Bath, S.C., on Jan. 8
Reid was the backseat passenger in a 2004 Jeep Cherokee, driven by Austin Beard, of North Augusta. At about 2 p.m., the Jeep ran off the side of Dixie Clay Road and struck an embankment and a tree, according to South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Judd Jones.
The Soul City Sirens will be taking to the rink for their sixth season in a new arena on Saturday.
The area's women's roller derby team will begin their 2014 season in a bout at the Columbia County Exhibition Center, the team's new home track for competitions.
"We're real excited about it," said former coach and team spokesman Jason Craig. "It's going to be great."
The exhibition center, which opened in August, will allow the team to use 15,600 square feet to set up a flat track for bouts at least four times through November.
Color of card tips off teller to forgery
The color of a check card gave away an Augusta woman trying to cash a forged check on Monday, police officers report.
A teller at First Bank of Georgia in Martinez said a woman tried to cash a $1,000 check at the bank on Furys Ferry Road. The woman, later identified as Daniella Lauren Caramb, 27, presented a North Carolina driver's license and a check card.

Residents Say They're Getting Flat Tires From Construction Site
By Gavin Johnson, WCJB TV20 News
The Brytan Development in Southwest Gainesville is supposed to bring more shopping and places to live. But some people living in the area say construction on the development isn't bringing them much but flat tires.
Joe Prager is the president of The Meadows of Kanapaha Homeowners Association. And he says at least fifteen people have reported flat tires from nails left in the road by construction workers who are building The Brytan Development. Prager says, "This is a high number of flat tires for our residents. some families have had four to five flat tires in their own family." Prager thinks speed tables are also contributing to the problem. Because he says as construction trailers ride over the tables, nails fall off. Prager says he's not against the development. He just wants people living in his subdivision to be safe.

Probably the most unheralded positions on the football field is that of a kicker but Mountain Ridge HS has one of the best in Jeffrey Locke. In fact he is ranked as the #1 combo kicker and punter in the country by ChrisSailerKicking.com.
Last season the 6-1 185 pounder was named 1st team all region at both kicker and punter. He averaged 42.8 yards per punt and went 7 for 10 on field goals with a long of 43 yards.
But Locke is not your ordinary kicker, he also plays wide receiver and caught 21 passes for 295 yards and 2 scores last year.
Locke currently holds an offer from Wisconsin but is also hearing from schools across the country.
Here are clips of Locke from his junior season:

Hi! This is Bonnie, founder of Savoring Your Sixties. I wish we could have a face to face conversation. If we could, I would ask you, "What brought you here? What are you searching for?"
Then I would listen. Perhaps we would go beneath the surface a bit, get to know each other a little better. I would probably share a few of the things that I have learned from my own journey. Then, I would listen some more before offering you my suggestions as to what I think would help you.
Since we can't do that now, I'm going to make some educated guesses based on my experience and my work with other women who are in the "neighborhood" of 60. See if one or more describes what brought you here.
Is This You?
- You are struggling, struggling, struggling with turning 60 or being 60. You prefer it to the alternative (death!) but you are still feeling trapped and miserable about this milestone.
- 60 sounds old to you but you don't feel old. In fact, you can't believe that you actually are that old. How did that happen?
- When you think about the future – which you're doing a lot these days! – you don't see anything to look forward to. You wonder what you're going to do with yourself in your 60s and beyond.
- Or, perhaps you are taking the 60's in stride, sailing along, and you're still asking, "What shall I do with the rest of my life?" and so far not coming up with many answers.
- Maybe you're okay with your age but you long to make a difference in the world. You want to do something that matters, something meaningful, but you can't figure out what that is.
- Or it could be you have an idea about what you want to do, but just can't get going on it.
If any of these descriptions fit you, you're in the right place.
Savoring Your Sixties was born out of my own struggle with turning 60. Searching for answers, I found resources and tools that changed my life. Now, I want to share them with women like you and hopefully make your journey a little easier.
The Savoring Your Sixties website is filled with articles, tools, resources, and inspiration designed to help you ease your struggles, begin to feel better about your future, and take the necessary steps to discover what would be deeply satisfying and exciting for you in this decade.
I'm glad you found your way to Savoring Your Sixties and hope you'll find much here that speaks to you. And someday I hope we'll have a "real conversation." I'd like that!

I'm subscribing to your e-mails but wonder whether it would apply to me since I just turned 77. I'm in good health but have anxiety due to physical facial changes, namely sagging and fat loss in the face and a stringy neck that has absolutely changed/impacted how I see myself and elimination of certain clothing that exacerbates the afore mentioned. People say I look young for my age but I only see the negatives.
If your info. is really for the "younger" set, please advise since I already have a lot of e-mail info.
Thanking you in advance of your answer,
- 3 February 20, 2017 at 8:53 pm
Becoming more uncertain and have fewer answers about the future. Financially able to retire but ambivalent about closing my business. Material things have lost importance.

Thanks for all the info
Thank you all for your comments. Here is what I take away from the input:
1. Don't fear the four. Just about nobody seems to be saying too rough too noisy, too whatever.
2. It is probably a good idea to get one of the "lines" because of the group of extras that come with it.The sport line sounds good but I have heard not wonderful things about the sport suspension and I do not plan to get an awd. We'll see.
3. I really don't need two cars of 300 or more hp and in fact right now have a v70R that I will be getting rid of in part because of that fact (and in part because my wife has said I could get a BMW if I get rid of the Volvo). Otherwise I might be looking more at the 335.
4. I do know that I will get a 6 speed just because that is what I like(and wife and grown kids can drive 6mts).
5. In order to avoid embarassing myself either in print or on the road I WILL extensively test-drive a 328 6mt before buying.
Thanks all, Walla2

Godolphin goes for Seamer magic
Page Tools
The Godolphin stable has engaged Scott Seamer, hero of the 2001 spring carnival, for its third runner in next Tuesday's Melbourne Cup.
Seamer won the Caulfield and Melbourne cups double on the New Zealand mare Ethereal in 2001 and last year rode She's Archie into second place behind Makybe Diva in the Melbourne Cup.
That was only his third ride in the race after being unplaced on Cyclades in 2002.
Godolphin's media consultant Alan Byrne said yesterday that Seamer had been one of several jockeys in the mix to ride one of the stable's cup hopes and was chosen because of his good record in the race. "At this stage, he will be on Fantastic Love if Kerrin McEvoy decides to ride Razkalla," Byrne said.
Godolphin's No. 1 jockey Frankie Dettori rides Mamool, with McEvoy having the choice of the other pair.
Byrne said Seamer also would have no trouble making Fantastic Love's weight of 52 kilograms, which had been a major consideration. Fantastic Love is 24th in the order of entry for the Melbourne Cup, which means he just scrapes into the field, although he could finish further down the list, depending on what happens on Saturday.
Byrne said Fantastic Love, who has had only nine starts for two wins, would race in blinkers for the first time in the cup.
A five-year-old to Australian time, Fantastic Love, by the highly rated Peintre Celebre from the Sadler's Wells mare Moon Flower, was a last-start second in the listed Godolphin Stakes (2400 metres) at Newmarket on October 1 in which Razkalla started odds-on favourite and finished last of the five runners.
That was Fantastic Love's fourth start since being sold to Godolphin after he won over 2400 metres at Ascot in June last year. Byrne said Seamer, who rides in Sydney on Saturday, would be at Sandown on Sunday to get the "feel" of his Melbourne Cup mount.
McEvoy will make his choice after riding Razkalla in work either today or tomorrow.

Jack Pardee died this week. For Redskins fans in their 30s and 40s, Pardee is perhaps the least known head coach the team has employed in their lifetimes.
His three years came between George Allen's seven-year run, and just before Joe Gibbs's 12-year tenure. Allen and Gibbs were playoff regulars; Pardee was not. Neither was he the disaster of many of the post-Gibbs coaches, from Petitbon to Spurrier to Zorn. His firing, in fact, was highly controversial, and lamented by many players, media members and fans.
Anyhow, because this seemed like the thing to do, here are excerpts of some of the columns from when Pardee was hired, and then fired, as the Redskins boss. It's easy to imagine people being overjoyed by the onset of the Gibbs Era. But that wasn't a given in January of 1981, making the reaction to Pardee's dismissal sort of fascinating.
Ken Denlinger, January 25 1978, "Worth The Wait."
For Redskins watchers today, the major question is not why Jack Pardee was offered the job as head coach, but why he took it. There may be more competitive men in sports than Pardee, men with more zest for a challenge and all the obvious risks, but none come quickly to mind.
"I'm lucky to be alive because of him," said his former coach at Texas A&M, Bear Bryant, who was chuckling as he spoke over the phone yesterday. "This was in his senior year, against Baylor, and he was hurt. I wasn't going to play him, but he didn't know it.
"I didn't start him, of course, and the game developed into a real blood-letter, one of the toughest games I've ever seen. Well, he was near me on the sideline, my eyes big as silver dollars, and every time I'd turn around he'd almost be pawing the ground.
"It got so I was afraid he was going to whip me, right there on the spot, so I put him in and he played the rest of the game. And we finally won."
Maryland's coach, Jerry Claiborne, was a young assistant at A&M in the early '50s when he first noticed the Pardee zeal.
"The assistants played basketball against some of the players when we first arrived," Claiborne said, "and Jack was a freshman, already there when we came with Coach Bryant. Some of us assistants roughed 'em up pretty good, and I remember giving Jack a good lick once, and then not going anywhere near the basket again.
"After about 10 or 15 minutes, Jack said: 'Hey coach, hwo come you don't drive for the basket?' I said 'I'm not stupid.' He's a heck of a competitor, a real fine person, and he knows what it takes to be a winner."
Staff Editorial, January 6 1981, "The Departure of Jack Pardee"
Jack Pardee brought more to Washington when he returned three years ago than just a reputation as a hard-nosed football player and an inspiring coach. He brought a sense of humanity and humility to an athletic organization that had previously possessed little of either. In the brutal business of professional football, where winning all too often is the only thing that counts, Mr. Pardee stands tall as a man who understands that winning was not everything.
Our own judgment of Mr. Pardee's performance as coach of the Redskins is not nearly so harsh as that of the team's owner, Jack Kent Cooke, who fired Mr. Pardee yesterday. It was hardly Mr. Pardee's fault that the team's best running back played not a minute last fall, that its ace place kicker (and the league's best) suddenly couldn't kick straight, and that during a key stretch of the season almost every important play, every penalty and every bounce of the ball went against the redskins.
Perhaps we, like many other Redskins fans, have looked at Mr. Pardee through burgundy-colored glassses and Mr. Cooke has a more accurate view. But Mr. Pardee gave this community things his predecessor did not — candor, understanding and a sense that there are more important matters than those settled during Sunday afternoons at RFK Stadium.
In looking for a new coach, Mr. Cooke would do well to keep in mind some of Mr. Pardee's attributes. The head coach of the Redskins has a special responsibility in this community. Whoever he is, he is an example, even an idol, to thousands of youngsters. George Allen showed those kids what it is to be a winner. Jack Pardee showed them what it is to be a dignified human being.
Dave Kindred, January 6 1981, "Cooke Wants Change, Not the Old Failures."
When Jack Pardee would not bend, Jack Kent Cooke had no choice. As decent and honorable a man as ever coached in pro football, Pardee is a wonderful defensive technician who twice was the NFL's coach of the year. He will land on his feet, as do all good men with a strong sense of what they are about. Sadly, Pardee's stretch was also his weakness.
He has an unalterable belief in his way of playing the game. A survivor of the East Texas plains, a survivor of cancer, a survivor of the World Football League, Pardee has reason to believe in himself. He believed, as his old coach and boss George Allen taught him, that you win football games by not losing. Play the veterans who make no mistakes. Be mean defensively. On offense, take the low-risk road.
Sustained by these beliefs for so long, Pardee was not going to give them up at the suggestion of Cooke, the owner, or of Bobby Beathard, the general manager. As long ago as September, when the Redskins had not yet shown the full measure of their problems, Cooke suggested to Pardee that he use more young players. With an average of nearly five years work per man, the Redskins are the oldest team in the NFL.
Better to lose, 60-0, and build a future, Cooke said, than to lose, 17-7, with old men. If we keep losing with old men, the owner said, this franchise may not be competitive again for a decade.
Ken Denlinger, January 6 1981, "So Last Year's Genius Has Become a Loser?"
Cooke's hook finally removed Jack Pardee from the Redskins' stage yesterday. By unpopular demand, the team's majority owner fired a very good football coach and let us know he was taking firm command of his possession. Whether this came after careful deliberation or was carefully timed to avoid his being cast as some sporting Grinch, owner Jack Kent Cooke did what he seemed anxious to do for two months.
Most coaches are fired by the fans as much as by their won-and-loss record — and after at least showing a consistent tendency toward incompetence. Few beyond Cooke and General Manager Bobby Beathard were outraged by Pardee's performance. Nobody was singing "Goodbye, Jack" in RFK Stadium this season, and Redskin fans hardly are the most tolerant.
Pardee surely has joined a highly unusual, if not unique, class of coaches: those dismissed a year after being judged the best in their profession. In Cooke's estimation, Pardee went from genius to jerk as quickly as that is possible in the NFL.
