Busy Afternoons on WBKR This Week
First of all, I am back in the studio today for only the third time in a month. I was on vacation for a week and a half and when I returned, I was off to multiple road shows with my buddies at Pogue Chrysler, Pogue Chevy, and Green River Appliance.
I can't remember when I've ever been away from the studio that long. But I'm back in it this week and ready to give away tickets to the Lanham Brothers Jamboree starring my old friends Barry and Randy Lanham. It's the final show of the season Saturday night at Diamond Lake's Good Times Theatre.
Of course, I will also be giving away free hot wings from Show Me's of Owensboro each day during the High Five.
But that's not all.
I will happily welcome two new recording artists into the studio starting with Daniel Warren this afternoon and, on Thursday, Craig Wayne Boyd .
It's a big week of busy afternoons on The Country Station.
So, let's go…

Outstanding Job 117-201I feel confident that Test-inside did an outstanding job teaching the material and in preparing us for the Lpic Level 2 117-201 exam, however, I believe the subject matter is a bit overwhelming to assimilate in a course.We ordered our Test-inside materials, without knowing for sure whether or not we passed the LPI 117-201 exam. I enjoyed the class so much that I almost forgot we were actually taking a class.Our instructor was outstanding and very thorough. I just check the website for my test results, and I PASSED!!!!
Information To Pass Lpic Level 2 117-201Test-inside website, phone staff and class were great. I've recommended you to my friends as well.. I truly enjoyed my course for 117-201 exam last Saturday. Your company and instructors are fun and informative. I have already recommended your company to several other people. I look forward to using your service in the future. I would like to thank Test-inside for all the courtesy that your staff extended to me. The seminar was excellent and very enjoyable! They gave us all the needed information to pass the LPI 117-201 test. It was a GREAT.
Job Well Done Lpic Level 2 117-201Test-inside did a fantastic job teaching the seminar. It was not long and dragged out, but he made it very interesting and extremely hard for anyone NOT to pass! It was my refresher class and I am glad that I went to class. It was a totally different experience than the first time around and a much smaller class as well. I believe I had finished my LPI 117-201 test within 20 mintues with no problems or doubts at all. I highly recommend Test-inside. Every question was answered, and the 117-201 test was a breeze . I've gained additional information, but this course far exceeded my expectations. Thank you for a job well done.
Get All Done LPI 117-201Test-inside team was punctual, professional, accomodating and entertaining.The learning materials for 117-201 exam were clear and included diagrams and simple language. Most importantly, they have been consistenly available to us in the weeks after the testing for organizational questions and follow up. From a corporate perspective, Test-inside is the absolute top of the line Lpic Level 2 117-201 test preparation company. We couldn't have asked for a quicker, easier way to get this all done.
Exam Required Course Lpic Level 2 117-201I thought Test-inside was great!!! I thought the teacher made it interesting. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone that needs to take a 117-201 exam. I liked the convenience of pausing and continuing at a later time. I liked not having to drive to a location and sit in a class room. I actually did this course at my work. I would 100% recommend everyone to buy this Test-inside course. I also have a much better understanding of my role. I'm glad the LPI 117-201 exam required this course.

Gallery in the Park, set in Leazes Park in Newcastle city centre, features wooden picture frames and beds sited to complement the plants and flowers.
The exhibition is designed to showcase the best of the park's £4.9m refurbishment funded by Newcastle City Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The park's restoration has also included a new children's play area.
Natural landscape
The 131-year-old Leazes Park has been restored to its former glory using specialist companies which have restored the bandstand, rebuilt the children's playground and recreated the ornate Jubilee Gates.
Twelve wooden picture frames have been strategically placed to give visitors spectacular views of the lake, Newcastle United Football Club and the famous Honeycomb sculpture, designed by Richard Crank in 2002.
Paul Collard, Creative Director of culture10 which is behind the project, said: "Gallery in the Park is a perfect example of how the North East is using art to animate some of its most important public spaces."
The exhibition will continue at the park until October.

Pants On Fire
A Schlepp Through Schenectady - Erie Boulevard
Schenectady, NY - Franny Wentzel - Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Our next visit to the little city of Schenectady - seen here in this 1950s postcard..
...is to Erie Boulevard which was once the in-town route of the Erie Canal until the 1920s when the canal was rebuilt as the New York State Barge canal with deeper channels larger locks and more utilisation of adjacent rivers.
Postcards presented an ideal image of its run through the city...
...but by the 1920s the canal reeked of wastes and there was pressure to fill it in.
So that factory workers could drive their cars to work...
...as they do to this day.
Erie Boulevard never lived up to the potential of the name and apart from the morning and evening 'rush hours' was largely abandoned looking...
...and is much the same these days.
Once the place for luncheon - eat while you get your clothes done...
This place was always closed the times I'd ever get to see it.
A couple years ago it was found to be falling apart - as was the building behind it.
It was shored up but proved unsalvagable and ultimately was demolished - as was the building behind it.
The old Masonic Building
The Wallace Armer hardware store. Noted for its old-time conveyor belt cash management system - money was sent to the back of the store on a little trolley thingie.
Killed by the big box stores around the turn of the century.
An abandoned Sears store shedding its 1960s facade.
An old Polaroid image from another article.
Where Erie meets State Street.
A sunny day...
A rainy day...
A lucky survivor - the Nicholaus Block was nearly done in by a gas explosion in the 1970s.
A sequential view...
the lower State Street side...
and the Wedgeway block.
The same views on a rainy day.
They didn't spend a lot on fancy architectural trimmings here...
View across the railroad station's parking lot.
The turn of the 20th century stood this grade-level station.
100 years ago this station was built as a replacement when the tracks were elevated.
Postcard views.
By the 1970s trains no longer stopped in Schenectady so the station and surronding buildings were torn down. This little shed was built when service returned in the 1980s.
At the turn of this century plans were footed to replace the Amshack with a proper station.
So far they seem to have gone nowhere.
Then and now views of the station platform.
Ghost Ad visible from the platform.
Train from The City.
View east from the railroad bridge.
As late as the 1950s buildings crowded this view.
North end of the Boulevard then...
and now...
A fancy gateway to the Stockade District was recently erected.

There are much nicer places in Schenectady...where are the photos of Union college and the GE Realty plot, Central Park then and now...St John's Cathedral, the nice old homes near where Steinmetz used to live...and the beautiful old Stockade area?
Franny Wentzel: 3rd Dec 2010 - 13:00 GMT
Newly discovered in my collection...
Shift change at the GE plant - low building in foreground was the 1938 WGY radio station. Was demolished in the '50s.
Gary Griffin: 3rd Dec 2010 - 15:00 GMT
I remember Erie Boulevard having the smoothest surface of any road in the capital district back in the mid-fifties. About four years ago, I rode my bike along the bike path near the Mohawk River from Niskayuna to downtown Schenectady. It was near Erie Blvd. that signs for the path suddenly vanished.
Mike Sleight: 3rd Dec 2010 - 18:45 GMT
The Carl Co., founded in Lockport, NY, opened a Schenectady store on Erie Blvd. near the turn of the century. Eventually they enlarged it and moved it to the 430 State St. address, adjacent to Proctors Arcade. The building is now part of the Proctors complex. The Carls were my grandparents.
Ronald Hofmeister: 3rd Dec 2010 - 20:44 GMT
Nott Terrace class 1956. These photos bring back many fond memories of my growing up in Schenectady. I even got a speeding ticket on Erie Blvd. My dad worked at ALCO for many years.
Bob Wickes: 3DEC10 - 1633 EST: 4th Dec 2010 - 21:50 GMT
My old friend Sleight and Hofmeister have already weighed in with the Ghost of Schenectady Past. What happened to the economic infrastructure of the Dorp happened to most smaller cities in Upstate New York which appeared flourishing when we were kids. I enjoyed downtown Schenectady. Dancing class and Coffee Shop breakfasts at the Van Curler. Myers and Jos. Nusbaum clothiers. Movies, and other shows, at the Erie, State, and Proctors theaters; the railroad station with its smell of cigars and marble, and marching with other Boy scouts down State Street to the little park to commemorate the little "Liberty Statue" which had just placed therein. Remember exhibitions in the Armory on Erie Blvd? And the Sesquicentennial celebration seemed to loom large at the time. How about the time the Dutch Reformed Church burned (for the nth time). I'll close this by saying one of the major joys of being downtown was watching for sparks as catenaries arced when trolley cars passed under the railroad bridge on State street. I was 6 at the time.
Tim Brown: 4 Dec 2010 : 5th Dec 2010 - 05:51 GMT
How about those great lunches, purchased with a handful of coins at the Auto-mat cafeteria next to Wallace's Dept Store on State street.. How many cartoons did we get to see on Saturday mornings at ol' Erie theater back in the 50's. If I remember correctly the Erie had "cheaper" tickets than The State or Proctors and for sure cheaper than The Plaza ~~ of course there wasn't as much second hand gum on the seats at the "pricier" theaters ~~ and who knew what went on in the balconies, nobody said anything..
Franny Wentzel: 24th Feb 2011 - 22:22 GMT
Here's a jumbo sized version of that 1950s postcard...
anon (mobile-166-137-136-218.mycingular.net): 25th Apr 2011 - 16:24 GMT
Awesome this was a great read
bill boehm: 25th Nov 2011 - 22:31 GMT
a few more young memory flashes; the junior bootery on jay st that had the x-ray machine that sized your feet, the mohican market also on jay st that had a wood floor covered w/sawdust & handed out cardboard feathered headresses, henrys cycle shop on albany st for all bicycle parts & accessories, the freshly painted locomotives that came in to view after going under the maxon rd rr bridge, the white tower at the corner of nott terrace & state, the shoe shine parlor on the corner of summit ave & albany st, jimmy cesaros barber shop on broadway w/all the superman comics, pleasant valley park at the foot of crane st before the interstate w/the winding pedestrian concrete tower by the hulett st bridge, and of course the freihofer horse & wagon on union st when it was still rte 7
NikkiB: 28th May 2012 - 14:19 GMT
My memories of living in Schenectady from 1951-1969: Hy Sofer's deli on a side street off of State Street (he had the best potato salad); the record store on the corner (name?) where you could listen to 45s before you bought them & where I used to wait expectantly for the next Beatles record; Mr Peanut walking up and down State St.; Mike's Submarines on a corner on State St. They were so delicious!; A&P Supermarket on upper State St with the wood floors; the little library I could walk to from my house on Brandywine; the Van Dyke Restaurant where my mom worked for many years, owned by Mr Marvin Friedman, per mom, "a saint of a man." Jane's Card Shop at the bottom of Summit Avenue (my street). The Big N dept store. The Sealtest plant. I cannot remember the streets, have been away too long. Someone mentioned Nussbaum's Clothing - that was my first summer job when I was 16. I worked in the office. I remember Mrs Nussbaum distinctly.
dee: 27th Jun 2012 - 21:04 GMT
What about Myer's children shop? And yes, truly Sofer's deli was great. But we can't forget Roth's bakery and the black and white cookies. The music store, of course, was Apex. (How could anyone forget that?) All of the stores were awesome (compared to the uniformity and nondescript chains we have now.) There was Wallace's, Barney's, Carl Company, and Nusbaum's. The Imperial where my mom would buy lovely things. (This was long, long before OTB took over that corner.) So we'd shop, and have lunch at Vendome's and later, down the street a bit at Maurice's Roastbeef sandwiches. There also used to be a "lunch counter" at W.T. Grant's where you could get a frankfurter and a drink. Very distinct memories. A new bank in the lower state street block (past the theater) with a sidewalk that glistened in the evening under the streetlights. (It had sparkles in the concrete, but I thought it was diamonds) Christmas shopping, and free gift wrapping.
Ellen Clark Younkins: 6th Feb 2013 - 03:46 GMT
It was interesting but sad to see these photos. I grew up in Schenectady and worked as a high school student in downtown, first at F W Woolworth and then at the prestigious ladies store, The Imperial. I went on to work for the NY Telephone Co. on Clinton St. in order to earn enough money to go to College. I have fond memories of this city which is pretty sad looking these days.
Guest: 16th Mar 2013 - 00:39 GMT
Remember the Apex record store where you had a private booth to hear a new song?
David C.: 28th Mar 2013 - 22:46 GMT
I remember buying magazines and comic books at Baums. Harry Leva would have a sign on the newspaper rack that said, "What the hell's wrong with the first one?" I remember eating at Ruby Diner and going to see a movie at Proctors. We also used to eat at the Woolworth lunch counter (or was that Kresge'S?) My neighbor was an elevator operator at Barneys during summer breaks. Later, I worked at Robinsons Furniture. All these pics were taken in 1981. What the hell happened to the Schenectady that I grew up with?

Wow. All this brings back super memories of Schenectady. I sure miss the good old days and the way things were.
Cindy L.: 24th Nov 2014 - 13:40 GMT
Does anyone remember the restaurant on State St., near the Proctors Entrance, from the 1960's? It was a very popular spot to eat for office folks who worked downtown. I remember as a child that the woman who ran or owned it was a Holocost survivor and would show you her arm with the stamp or tattoo forced during her imprisonment. It had a memorable pastrami sandwich and soup selection.
Franny Wentzel: 24th Nov 2014 - 19:02 GMT
A quick update...
They grassed in the median on Erie
One of the Wallace Armer buildings is now a pizza joint...
...and the Sears building has shed its 1960s facade.
Rachel: 8th Jan 2015 - 03:59 GMT
To Cindy L: the restaurant that had the deli sandwiches and was run by Lillian Roth was actually called Roth's. This was late 50's to sometime in the 60's. It may have been near a little newsroom (not Baums which was Harry Leva's place, this was another one. ) but as the other comment noted there was Peggy's next to Proctors which was good very good in fact it is now the Reel seafood on wolf road, owner Legrand Serras. But it was no Roth's which carried all the charm of a Manhattan deli, black & white cookies, r genuine cheesecake and amazing sandwiches. It was torn down to build a bank ...
Franny Wentzel: 10th Jan 2015 - 14:15 GMT
Here is Roth's little cafe...
Between the bank and Foster's Hotel. Torn down in the late-'60s/early-'70s when the bank expanded.
Ruth Vokins: 12th Feb 2015 - 20:46 GMT
What memories this web site brings to me. I worked in Carl Co. in the 1950's. I worked in the restaurant & ran the elevator. The store was so beautifully decorated at Christmastime, thanks to Mr. Lambert & Gene. Also worked at the YMCA & Ellis Hospital. Then finally decided to get a "real job" & went to GE in 1964 for over 30 years. Am now retired for 21 years in Florida but will never, ever forget Schenectady, N.Y.
Bob Auerhahn: 11th Sep 2015 - 16:24 GMT
As a Union student in the late '60s, I enjoyed going downtown for off-campus meals. One that stands out as unusual was a second floor restaurant called the Vendome, maybe all that was left of the hotel. Beside college student looking for a cheap meal, all the other customers and employees were really old! Can anyone remember a cafeteria which was possibly on Lafayette St. or parallel where you walked up to a counter and ordered. Was very good. CollegeLuigi favorite were Mama Ferros, Mother Bianchis, Papa Luigis and Diamantes. Also NEBA roast beef at Mikes Subs!
Franny Wentzel: 12th Sep 2015 - 22:45 GMT
Woolworth demolished the Vendome hotel when they built their new store in the '30s
Vendome restaurant had relocated to a building across the street...
...between the Witbeck building and the old Hough Hotel
The Vendome was demolished in the late-'70s and replaced with an infill structure for the Canal Square redevelopment. That and the Hough Hotel have since been replaced with the BowTie Cinema.
Susan: 27th Dec 2015 - 02:31 GMT
Yes, the good old days of Hy Sofer's, Kite magazine, AROW, Price Chopper and the best cannolis! I lived there around 1977...the city of GE, SPAC where I saw oh so many music stars! Wallace Armor hardware...
Visitor: 3rd Jan 2016 - 16:58 GMT
If you have not been to Schenectady in several years, by all means go back for a visit now. State Street is actually better than it has been in 40 years.
John Rowe: 6th Jan 2016 - 18:35 GMT
When my wife and I lived in the Stockade, we were members of Schenectady Civic Players, which is still alive and well and mounting great productions. My wife's father worked for "Generous Electric" and saw them fill in the canal. Looking at these photos, it's a shame they didn't just clean it up. It would have added some charm to the city, along with the RR Station that was torn down.

I so much love looking of historical and present landscapes! it's taking a trip in time without leaving home! Dave Zemanek, Johnstown. NY

The other issue that I'm hanging on is the fact that 2 million subscribers is a far fetch for the North American and European markets. The key word in this sentence is subscribers.
While Aion may tout a very significant three million users worldwide and World of Warcraft holds up the 11 million subscribers sign, the Asian market is not full of 15 dollar a month subscribers. As we dislike microtransactions, they dislike a pay per month scheme. Because of this, it's difficult to really put a solid figure on the number of accounts in Asia. Plus, there is also the fact that some of them may never spend the magical $15 per month while others may spend well over that.
World of Warcraft has only hit approximately 2.5 million users in North America, which draws the issue of obtaining two million subscribers into question. We have a market where, right now, 300,000 users is an impressive amount for a game that isn't World of Warcraft. Going from 300,000 users to two million users is a very large divide for a game to conquer.
"All of my worries aside, I actually think that SWTOR might just pull this trick off."
But, in the case of SWTOR, it just might be possible
All of my worries aside, I actually think that SWTOR might just pull this trick off. Star Wars isn't the winning variable in this equation -- BioWare is.
Much like Blizzard, BioWare has a history of creating solid games and they're using one of their best IPs for their online world. We're not only anticipating this game because it's a Star Wars game, we're anticipating it because we're expecting a quality product. Much like World of Warcraft, when we not only anticipated a great Warcraft game, but we also anticipated a quality Blizzard game.
As I said in my opening, gameplay is the honey that keeps players around and filling your coffers. If you can keep us busy, challenged, and happy then you can expect us to call your game a hit and bring our friends. BioWare has already proven that through KotOR, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, and Dragon Age: Origins.
They seem to understand the path of RPGs, they know how to take notes from the successes and failures of others, and they know how to release a polished, finished product. Those are the qualities we are anticipating so highly, and those are the reasons why they might just hit the fabled two million subscribers after all.
And now what you all came here for: dancing stormtroopers.

Meet the Staff: Aaron Etchison
Aaron Etchison completed his fourth season as the Wolverines' volunteer assistant coach.
Etchison, who was hired on Sept. 6, 2012, assists with the catchers, including Cole Martin and Harrison Wenson. Martin was an All-Big Ten third team selection in 2013 and threw out 32 base runners in his final two years in the Maize and Blue, while Wenson was an All-Big Ten third team selection in 2016 and was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 39th round of the 2016 MLB Draft.
Etchison came to Ann Arbor after a two-year playing career at the University of Maryland. The Pendleton, Ind., native was a captain on the 2012 team that won 32 games, which was a 15-win improvement from 2010. The catcher threw out 14 of 26 base runners last season, which led the Atlantic Coast Conference percentage-wise for players who had enough attempts to qualify. As a junior, Etchison started 25 games for the Terrapins, hitting safely in nine of the team's last 11 games and serving as Maryland's primary catcher the second half of the season.
Before his two seasons at Maryland, Etchison spent his sophomore season at Chipola Junior College in Marianna, Fla. He hit .276 in 47 games with 29 runs batted in. Etchison started his collegiate career at Ball State University, helping the Cardinals to the Mid-American Conference West Division title in 2009.
Etchison graduated from Maryland with a bachelor of science degree in finance from the Robert H. Smith School of Business in December of 2012.

Grab a power strip, some velcro strips, a cigar box, and a dremel, and in just a few minutes you can throw together this simple yet elegant way to hide your mess of charging electronic peripherals!
Quick question, where can I get free cigar boxes?
Any place that mainly sells cigars will have a bunch of boxes for around a dollar.
Very cool. Even more cool because it houses a zune!
Zunes pwn iPods.
No they don't....... zunes suck.
How can they suck? They lack lips.
Zunes are quiet innovative when it comes to sucking :P
iPods have an suckage app you can download.
Yes, well, the Ipod sucked when it was released, so it'll be a few years until Microsoft is up to speed with new Zunes.
iPod, not Ipod, iPod
zunes still suck
Haha I was just joking as I haven't actually had the chance to even see a Zune in real life (I live in Australia) but I have to say thats a pretty bad excuse, I mean why wouldn't you stick to iPods until they become good? :P I have to say though that its cool how you can send songs but microsoft really screwed up with how you can only send samples and the other people have to buy the song. (But thats obviously because of legal issues)
hahaha, well I'm on the on side. I have a Sansa lol
ipods r way better espically ipod touch! there is no zune touch is there now!
yes there is, it's the Zune HD
LOL! I love that! Haliroius! seriously,
Zunes do not suck, but having owned both I haveto say the iPod does pwn it<br />
Aww yeah, 30 Gb Zune! I love mine to death, it may not look nice, but it works so smoothly.
YES!!! ZUNE FTW!!!!!!!!! o yea and nice project
and btw, i have the same zune EXACT COLOR AND SIZE AND ALL!!!!
here is my cigar box
aww man.. I thought it was charging station that charges stuff in ten minutes... nice instructable though
That's cool! very... Gentleman's charging station vibe...
Haha, thanks.
You do know you could have made a Cigar Box Guitar with that, there box. ;-)
Lol, I FAIL'd at the Altoid guitar I made a year ago... Maybe I'll give it another go some day.

NASCAR adds new wrinkles to attract Brickyard fans
The 20th running of NASCAR's Brickyard 400 is this weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but activities start today at IMS, as race organizers have added attractions to put more fans in the stands.
The popularity of NASCAR is still there when you consider 100-thousand fans, on average, attend the races each week. The TV audience is about 7=million per race, again, on average, which is more than other sporting events.
Still, attendance at not just the Brickyard 400, but other NASCAR races, has seen better days. The economy had a lot to do with the decline, but there are other factors in play, as well.
"It's not just looking at things from pricing standpoint," said NASCAR's Steve Phelps. "As the economy comes back, it's really competing with stick and ball sports and other entertainment. So we have to make sure what we do is commensurate with what they'll get at an NFL or NBA game."
So you're going to see a lot more in the way of technology at the track, so while fans are at the race, they can listen to built-in radio scanners, driver communications, and watch in-car cameras right from their seats.
And the cars are different too this year. They'll be more like the ones you see on the road.
Grand-Am practice and qualifying take place today at the Speedway to kick off "Super Weekend."
Like we've seen for the Indy 500, there are a lot of events leading up to the Brickyard to get fans excited and to bring them to the track.

Josh Adams is a toolsy outfielder at Pleasant Grove High in Elk Grove, Calif. Read the following interview to learn more about his football history, playing in the first-annual Boras Classic, and what reality show he could imagine himself on . . .
First off, take us back to the beginning. When did you first start playing baseball, and what was it about the game that really drew you in?
I first started playing baseball I'd say when I was about 5. I started off with tee-ball and it was a lot of fun. I liked being out there, I just liked everything about it. Being out there and playing with my friends was a lot of fun, and I just liked competing. It's always been a lot of fun for me.
Sure. Now, your father played football at Washington State, and you played football as well. I've seen some impressive YouTube clips of you playing football. Did you ever consider going that route instead?
I did. I actually was recruited by all Pac-12 schools. I was recruited a lot for football and then this year I thought about it—you know, my dad actually got hurt playing football—so we thought about it and talked about longevity and my career and what would be best for me, and I decided to go with baseball.
How is the season going for you so far?
The season's going all right. I started off a little slow. I came off of a great fall. I went to Arizona in the fall for one of the Perfect Game tournaments and I played against Dom Smith's team, and we actually won that game. I hit a walk-off double to win that, so that was pretty exciting. I started off a little slow, getting used to high school pitching and it's picking up again. There were a bunch of scouts at my first game of the season and now they're starting to come back a little bit, so it's going well.
You had a knee injury that kept you out for a lot of the summer. Are you feeling 100 percent now?
Yeah, I'm right there next to 100 percent, if not 100 percent. My speed is coming back, I'm feeling really well, and I love competing. I work hard and I get after it, so that's the main thing.
That's good, because speed is a big part of your game on both sides of the ball.
Yeah, exactly—very important.
Such a big part of the baseball prospect landscape these days is the summer showcase circuit, but you missed a lot of that this summer recovering from your knee surgery. Was that disappointing to you, and what impact do you think that had on your status with the scouts?
It was kind of disappointing, I'd say. I did do the Perfect Game National Showcase, which was an awesome experience. It was awesome to play with guys who will be in pro baseball for sure this year coming up. Area Codes would have been awesome, it would have been cool playing with my friends all summer, but the main thing was getting healthy and getting ready for my season and just getting after it.
What kind of football player were you? What were teams recruiting you for?
They were looking at me to play safety and slot. Basically every team told me I could go both ways. Even when I told teams I wasn't going to play football, they still told me, 'Hey, we still have a scholarship for you. You can come here.' So, it was tough. The biggest thing I had to get used to in baseball was baseball's not football. So, you can't just attack, attack, attack. It's a lot slower, you have to slow it down, so I've been learning to do that. I'd describe myself in baseball as tough and competitive. I thrive on challenges. I think I'm a winner and a leader, and I think I can make the kids around me better and I inspire them to be better because of the level I play the game.
That's what I've heard from a lot of guys who play both sports—is just kind of the different mentalities between the two sports. Football is such an aggressive, warrior-kind of sport. But baseball is also super competitive because so much of the game is me versus you, hitter versus pitcher, that kind of thing.
In football, if you mess up on a play, you can hit the next guy in the mouth. Baseball, you've got to get used to it, it's a game of failure. The toughest part is getting used to failing, and being OK with it, and getting up next time and trying to succeed.
You're committed to UC Santa Barbara. When did they first see you play, and what was it about the school that you liked best?
Originally, Coach (Andrew) Checketts recruited me at University of Oregon. I think my sophomore year is when he saw me. I played in the Rawlings North Showcase, which was a pretty big showcase. NorCal (Baseball) puts it on, which is Rob Bruno, he puts it on. A lot of scouts out there, a lot of colleges, and a lot of good, good pitchers and good players all around. It's invite-only, so it was really cool. He saw me there, and then I was recruited by University of Oregon, he started recruiting me there, and then when he went to Santa Barbara, he continued. I had a lot of schools looking at me for baseball. My first offer came my freshman year from Oregon State, which was pretty cool, but I wasn't ready. I wanted to experience some different things, but when I went to Santa Barbara, I just fell in love. It's on the beach, the baseball program is coming up again, the academics are through the roof, you know? So, it should be a lot of fun, for sure. It's definitely going to be a challenge to stay focused, but I'm glad I'm going there the to play baseball for Coach Checketts.
Your team recently won the northern section of the first-annual Boras Classic. For a state without a state championship, that's a pretty cool event to pit some of the best teams against each other. How was that whole experience?
It was awesome. We played some of my best friends—Rowdy Tellez and Dom Nunez at Elk Grove High School. Pleasant Grove and Elk Grove has been a rivalry since Pleasant Grove opened. We played them and it was awesome just to have that state atmosphere. In football, we won a section and we almost went to state, so it was kind of like the same thing. The tournament itself was great. The best teams in Northern California were there, and we got hot when we needed to. I started (on the mound) against Elk Grove and just didn't throw the last inning because we were up 11-1, but I shoved it pretty good.
That's awesome. You don't normally pitch that often, do you?
I did sophomore year. Being lefthanded, it just comes with the territory. I threw for the (San Diego) Show and Brian Cain a little bit in the fall. I see myself as an outfielder and hitter for sure—use my speed to be successful in the field. But, at the end of the day, if something ever goes wrong, I do have pitching to fall back on.
That Elk Grove lineup is pretty stacked with all those guys there. How did you go after them?
Yeah, I mean they're all great hitters. Nick Madrigal is a stud. Rowdy Tellez is a stud. Dom Nunez is an awesome player, and Derek Hill—they're all awesome players. You know, I used my experience as a hitter to my advantage. I've played with them a lot, so I just kind of kept them guessing. My ball was running a little bit, so it was good. I try to study my opponent and just know what I need to do to get them out.
After you won the northern part of it, you went down and played Mater Dei, who we have as No. 1 in the country. What was that like? How would you kind of compare those two teams?
It was awesome. Mater Dei, I mean when they took BP, they looked really, really good. It was a great game besides the score. We let one inning get away from us, but we had runners on second and third every single inning. I mean, there was not an inning that we didn't. It could have been a different ballgame if we get those runs in. I think Elk Grove was better. Mater Dei didn't impress me that much. I know they have guys like Jeremy Martinez and stuff, but we battled. We just let one inning get away from us and they capitalized, and that's why they're the No. 1 team in the nation, for sure. It was kind of disappointing because they didn't really pitch to me. I sac bunted and then I got walked three times after that.
For readers who haven't seen you play, how would you describe yourself as a player?
I'd describe myself as a competitive guy who always wants to win. I know I won't be the fastest or strongest guy, but I know I'll outwork anyone, no matter where they are, who they are. The biggest thing I've had to get used to is being OK with failure. In football, you don't fail that much, and when you do you can make up for it the next play. Three out of 10 is Hall of Fame stats in the big leagues, getting three hits out of 10. Seven times with failure, there's no other sport where you can do that. I'd describe myself as a hard worker and I'll do whatever it takes to be the best.
What are you still working to improve?
I'm working to improve just being mature at the plate, I think is the biggest thing. Not playing that much baseball—you know, I've always been a good baseball player, but I want to be a great one. Being mature at the plate is the biggest thing. The biggest thing is that I haven't had that many at-bats compared to some of these other guys who have played every summer circuit since they were 12. So, this summer was awesome, I got to see a lot of good pitchers. A lot of people got to see how I handled the wood against great pitchers. My main goal is not so much to get hits, but just get on base and show my speed, and just show me getting after it. Because I am a competitor and I always know if I'm on the field we have a great chance of winning.
Who would you say is the toughest pitcher you've faced so far in your career?
I'd have to say my (fall) teammate Ian Clarkin. He plays for the Show and I faced him at PG National. He was pretty good. He got me. He threw that 94 mph fastball in on my hands and I think I grounded out to first. He's a stud and he's a really cool dude. He's good, for sure.
So even though you live in Elk Grove, you were going down to San Diego to play with the Show?
I played with NorCal, and then I played with the Show a couple times, and as soon as I played one tournament with the Show, I knew that's where I wanted to play. Brian Cain is probably one of the best coaches I've ever had. He's awesome. I needed some exposure, and I knew they played in a lot of good tournaments, and I played in Christmas, Thanksgiving and MLK down in San Diego, which was awesome. I wanted to play with a great team—even though a lot of the time the great guys like Stephen Gonsalves and Ian Clarkin and Alex Jackson weren't there because they were taking time off in the fall—it was good to play with other good players that were playing, so that was good.
Do you have a favorite big league team or a favorite player you like to watch?
I like to try to look at guys that I think how I want to be one day when I get in the big leagues. Jay Bruce is one guy that I really admire, and then Josh Hamilton just because of how he came back and battled through all he went through. He made it and came back and he's one of the best ballplayers in the game.
What about favorite team? Is there a team you grew up rooting for?
The Giants were the hometown team, but I just like players. I like the Reds because Dusty Baker, I know Dusty Baker and he's an awesome guy, and I just like Jay Bruce.
You really know him, or you just know of him because he was with the Giants?
No, I know Dusty Baker. I've talked to him a couple times. His son actually lives out here and I've talked to him a couple times at Results, the place where I train. He's a really cool dude. And then Greg Vaughn's my neighbor. I hit with Greg Vaughn a lot, too. He lives down the street, maybe half a mile from me. He's a really cool dude.
What's something you've learned from being able to hit with him?
The main thing is, because Greg's been there and he kind of did the same I did with the football thing. He went to Sac City and played football, and then ended up choosing baseball and went to Miami. The main things I learned from him is hit what you're going to get, and don't expect a fastball when you know you're not going to get that. He taught me a lot to focus on driving the ball the opposite way. He's very helpful and he's there when I need him to be.
Outside of athletics, what else interests you. If sports weren't an option, what kind of career would you choose?
Well, depending on where baseball takes me, I'm definitely going to go to law school. My mom's a lawyer, actually, and so is my aunt. So, I want to go to law school, get my law degree, and take the bar and become a lawyer—either private, or maybe a district attorney. I definitely want to pursue law and get into law.
OK, nice. Well, I've got a couple fun questions here to wrap this up. What's your favorite music group or artist?
I like all types of music. Rick Ross is one, and then Toby Keith and Justin Moore.
A wide range there. What about a favorite movie?
I'd say "Field of Dreams."
If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you choose?
I think "The Bachelor" would be pretty cool. You get to be with all those women and then pick one, that'd be pretty cool.
What do you like to do when you're not playing baseball?
A lot of people when they see me, they don't see me as someone who lives in the country. But I live in the country and I have steer, and I fish and hunt.
Yeah, that is interesting. Out here in North Carolina, pretty much every player I talk to is into that, but when you think of California players, you don't think of that too often.
Exactly. Yeah, I live on five acres and I raise my own beef. We actually have a nickname for our steer—"dinner." We kill a steer every year and we store it in our freezer and go through it. I grew up in the country and we actually have a pond, so I'll go out there and fish. I just grew up being outside and being active. I'm a high-strung kid. I'll do whatever—run around, hunt, fish and go four-wheeling.

That's interesting, but that's a public (outward facing) IP address (ripe in Bulgaria I believe). Is that what you got on your Windows 7 box? If that is the case, then I don't really know what to say. (I wouldn't put my Win7 box directly on the Internet. This is a public forum too.) I suppose you can create another VM (Windows or Linux) in the same VirtualBox, and access your spoofed site from there. But assuming that the above is not your Windows host machine, then read on... If it is your windows host machine, then get with your provider to make absolutely sure you are behind a local/private firewall and router before you proceed. (Your cable modem(?) should provide all that.)
When you created your BackTrack VM, you selected a networking mode. I've stopped using VirtualBox in favor of VMWare Workstation, but the network modes are primarily the same: host-only, NAT, and bridged (NAT by default). Does that sound familiar? (Don't mess with the other modes for now.) On your "host," the machine running VirtualBox (your Win7 box if I understand you), open a command shell and type "ipconfig". What does it say? If the IP address doesn't start with 10.0.2., your VM is probably in NAT mode. If that is the case, edit the VM properties, and change it to bridged. Then start over using your new BT IP address It will now start the same as the Win 7 IP.. (When I say IP, I mean specifically IPv4.)
Just forget about 127.0.0.1; it's very handy, but it isn't helping you here. If you can see your spoofed web site from the BT machine that is hosting it using that machines IP address (10.0.2.15), then that part is working and we are dealing with a network issue. That is why I keep asking about your network modes and IP addresses.
Although I'm now fairly certain that your host is your Win7 box, you still haven't told me your host IP, or your (BT) VM network mode. (But I've deduced that latter.)
I read a little about VirtualBox (you should too, at the above link) and confirmed that you are almost certainly running your VM in NAT mode. That effectively means that all the NAT hosts running in the VM are on their own separate network but routed through your host all the way to the internet. Though the VMs (e.g. your BT VM) can see the host and the internet, the reverse is not true.
I hope you can follow all this.

great colour
I purchased these last year in a darker tan colour and have worn them all this winter. They are my favourite boots at the moment. When I saw this Denim colour I thought it would be a great addition to my footwear wardrobe, however I was disappointed when I tried them on, the left boot was way too tight, so I sadly had to send them back. I suspect the fault may not have been solely (pardon the pun) with the boots..... as my left foot is slightly larger than my right...but it is puzzling why I did not experience the size difference in the tan pair I purchased last year, that pair had ample room in both boots for a light cotton sock but this Denim pair was too tight to even zip up easily.....anyhow the colour is great and the foot bed is amazingly comfortable with a slight instep rise to help if you have a bit of a fallen arch or if not....it just makes all day wear very comforting. Good luck to those with even feet I am envious as these are a great buy and you will get so much wear out of them. I was extremely hard wearing on mine all winter and they look like the day I bought them....but I must admit I do spray protect all of my shoes / /boots before each wear and always clean after each wear. Love boots what can I say! I hope Django

Lovely colour
You need a narrow foot and a shoe horn to get these gorgeous boots on. Comfortable once on.

Comfortable and stylish!
I purchased these as a gift for myself and couldn't be happier! I love the colour and style of the boot ... plus they are super comfy which is really important to me.

Small business owners can very easily fall into the rut of feeling like your employees are running the show. This is particularly true of grooming business owners, when commission paid employees don't want to do more than that which makes them money. Add to that the fact that good groomers are hard to find and you have a situation where the employees have all the power. When I first started, I hired commissioned groomers. They wanted to make their own schedules, only work with certain clients, and not contribute to the overall care of the shop.
Why this is SO important:
At the point that I started hiring differently, my entire business changed. Instead of hiring commissioned groomer, I hired hourly employees. Because they were employees, I was able to delegate more tasks to them, which, in turn, freed up my time. My employees became more involved in the success of the business and became a solid team. As a team, we became more successful, because we were working together and were able to have better results and make more money.
The Biggest Game Changer
This has been the biggest game changer in my business. I'm so excited to share this with you that I've even created a FREE eBook explaining the process.
You can go on the sidebar where it says "Sign up" and put in your email and name to get your free copy of "Hiring the Wags Way" now!
Being in business for over twenty years, it's remarkable to me that we so seldom see anything new in our business. That's why when I first saw Melissa Verplank's book "Notes From The Grooming Table" I was thrilled! It is extremely through, easy to use, and the drawings are beautiful. This book is something I use on a regular basis in my shop (especially for the breeds that we see rarely).
You know how it happens, the phone rings, and they ask you, "Do you know how to groom a Bedlington Terrier? "You know you have the skills, but you just need the information. This book will give it to you. Some features I really appreciate are:
If my write up isn't enough, here's what they have to say about it:
"Simply put, there is no book like this on the market. Melissa Verplank, Certified Master Stylist, former member of GroomTeam USA, contest grooming judge, industry speaker and Director of The Paragon School of Pet Grooming has teamed up with nationally recognized wildlife artist, Lisa VanSweden, to create this comprehensive grooming guide. The focus of 'Notes' is basic pet trimming using typical pet grooming techniques.
The illustrations are clear, concise and up-to-date for pet grooming styles, and it features more than 150 breed profiles. Included are step-by-step instructions and hundreds of detailed illustrations to help you groom any breed of dog at a glance."

Howdy gentlemen.
I have never been on a good duck hunt. In fact, in my ten years of waterfowling, I've never actually been on a pure duck hunt. I've always gone for geese, and hoped that ducks would be involved. Needless to say, shooting ducks is a lot of fun and I'd love to have a shot at a limit of them. I've only ever shot a couple mallards, a couple ring necks, a wood duck, and a merganser.
I know the year is over for now, but I'm thinking of next year, even as I get my bass fishing stuff ready.
I only have one farm where I am allowed to hunt without anyone else, but in the resident season, it's lights out. The farmer loves me, and literally calls me when the fields are being cut, and the birds start dropping in.
I'd love to trade a hunt out there with someone for a real duck hunt. I'm a pretty normal guy, and most people find me pleasant to be around.
Let me know if that sounds like something you'd be into.

Description: SD cards are all over the place and they're great for storing large amounts of data. Why not take advantage by adding an SD socket to your next data heavy project. We use it on a whole bunch of our boards! The SD/MMC ( Secure Digital Disk / Multi Media Cards) cards use a very simple SPI serial bus as well as a 4-bit proprietary bus.
Will this work with an Electric Imp? They recommend 4UCON 19646 which does not seem to be available.
Does this model fit the same footprint as the previous PRT-11362, specially the shell grounding pins?
would this be compatible with a raspberry pi? My sd card slot broke.
Unfortunately, it isn't. The pin-outs are not compatible.
thank you.

EDIT: I wasn't clear in the title. I'm wondering about '11 GTI springs on an '09 Rabbit
There's a local guy selling some springs off his 2011 GTI for a good price. They're not driver gear springs, just the stock GTI ones.
My understanding is that they'll fit my 09 Rabbit, true? If so how much of drop will I see between stock '11 springs and stock '09 rabbit springs?
Please spare me the "save for coilovers" speech. I'm going with springs for sure. I just want to see if its even worth considering these.


text: My front tires (stock Michelin's) are now worn to 4/32 and back tires are at 5/32 (22K on them). Would it be too early to change those? Per CR test half-worn tires lose quite a bit of wet traction (-8%) as well as snow and ice traction (-15%). At the same time I realize that I can get at least additional 10K before these tires are officially worn. Anybody care to comment?

The 16th-ranked Vols will be in action again on Sunday with the final round of the tournament.

Another 700r4 lockup question
I have a 700r4 in my 4x4. As with most I'm trying to get my lockup wiring within spec for my needs.
After looking through posts on this site and others I think I have a decent understanding of how I should wire this up, but I have a few questions.
From what I read it appears that I just need to keep my hot wire from my brake switch to terminal A and I can jumper terminals B & D together to bypass the computer and get automatic lockup when in 4th gear.
My question is by doing this can I disconnect the vacuum switch at the firewall and is this even a good idea.
Also, the one part I don't understand is how to manual engage the torque converter in 2nd or 3rd.
What I do know is that the current stock setup has the lockup engaged in 2, 3, and 4th gears and I have pretty violent 2nd to 1st shift at about 5mph. Also there is a tendency for the converter to engage and disengage back and fourth when i'm driving a lower speeds in town which is really annoying.
Thanks for the info about the vacuum switch.....after doing a little more reading I think I've got the wiring stuff figured out.

A golden boy by any other name...
29/11/2013 , 7:44 PM by Sarah Mashman
Murray Rose was the doyenne of the Australian swimming world in the 1950's. He won six Olympic medals, four of them gold. He held 15 world records in the pool, starred in two Hollywood films and maintained a vegan lifestyle which earned him the nickname, 'the Seaweed Streak.'
In 1988 he married former ballet dancer, Jodi Wintz after they met through a mutual friend.
In the foreword of Murray's autobiography, Life is Worth Swimming Jodi writes that "everyone has a love story." Sarah asked Jodi said "...everyone has a love story in a different way, I mean it could be a career, it could be a best friend, it could be a parent. Anything that brings extra meaning to their life and joy to their life and I didn't want to stand alone on that, I was very blessed and fortunate that I had 26 years with my love and yet all of us if we have something we love, that does help us along our journey. "
Both Jodi and Murray were from a young age, dedicated to their chosen field, Jodi to ballet and Murray to swimming.
Jodi told Sarah "... I think that when you choose that avenue, you're doing it for the most part because there is a passion and a joy in it and I think the wonderful thing about young people either being involved in dance or sport is that it just also gives a degree of discipline that can be used in other areas of life when you get older."
Murray had a great regret. After leaving Australia for a sports scholarship and forging a career in Hollywood, Murray found that he couldn't compete for Australia. Jodi told Sarah "... he was there (America) for quite some while. Between qualifying, there were some different logistics that were new and he thought- he'd been breaking world records and he was swimming the best he'd ever swam- and he thought for sure that it would be alright but it wasn't. So yes it was a great regret, he was upset and angry but also, the type of person he was- when one door closes, another one opens and he felt then, being offered to commentate well then that was the direction he was to go into as well as continue to do his acting and he continued to swim- he swam his whole life!"

In a speech to the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, Wadhwani said the MPC's failure to recognise that unemployment could fall to a lower level without stoking inflation meant monetary policy had been too tight.
Lowering rates by a quarter of a percentage point over the past five years would have delivered the 2.5% inflation target, boosted growth and ensured a more stable path for both inflation and output, he said.
He also challenged the MPC's assertion in Wednesday's Inflation Report that Gordon Brown's Budget will mean stronger growth and higher prices.
On the housing market, he said: 'I believe that a clear signal from monetary policymakers that they would react to a housing market bubble if one clearly emerged would make the continuance of strong house price growth less likely now.'

Jordan Rodgers is signed, sealed and ready to deliver… to Volunteer baseball and coach Dave Serrano.
The Memphis University School standout, who was a Mr. Football candidate alongside Miami (Fla.) signee Cornelius Elder and Florida State signee Jalen Ramsey, put pen to paper on a National Letter of Intent to cement his future home on Rocky Top last November.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder says his career on the gridiron has only helped him prepare for what lies ahead on the diamond.
"Oh, it definitely does," Rodgers told InsideTennessee. "There's a lot of similarities in the games. I take my leadership that I try to have on the football field to baseball on the infield at shortstop, try to be the captain at everything. It definitely helps me. I have more confidence in everything I do and just a lot more leadership."
All it took was a weekend on Rocky Top and some time with Serrano and the assistant coaches in early November to sway Rodgers' mind.
"Honestly, when I went in there and met with them on my visit, they took me around campus," said Rodgers, who took in the Tennessee-Troy football game at Neyland Stadium. "I'd be a fool to say no. Everything about it, it was almost like a dream. They sold it well. I fell in love with the coaching staff, the facilities, the campus. I have a bunch of friends who go there — just the perfect fit."
He was hosted by current Vol freshmen Heath Loyd and A.J. Simcox.
Since that winter weekend, Rodgers' friendship with other future Vols has grown. Farragut (Tenn.) High center fielder Cameron Strickland made the trek to Cookeville to see Rodgers play in the TSSAA Division II Class AA the state championship only weeks after they both signed.
Rodgers completed 20 of 37 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown and one interception in a 31-14 loss to a loaded Ensworth squad with talent like Rico McGraw and Michael Sawyers (both have Tennessee offers).
"We're all getting pretty tight. So, it's pretty awesome," said Rodgers, who speaks with Farragut pitcher Kyle Serrano daily.
As a sophomore, playing mostly shortstop and pitcher, Rodgers carried a .431 batting average and won 7 of 9 games on the mound. His junior season, he batted .344 with five home runs and an 8-2 record on the hill.
|Rodgers was a finalist for the TSSAA Division II Class AA Mr. Football award as the Memphis University School quarterback.

"It's awesome," Rodgers said of playing with fellow Owls in college. "Jason's a great dude; I played with him as a sophomore. It's just a great thing."
He says he can't wait to suit up and take the field at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville. He played there last summer for Dulins Dodgers.
"On my official visit, they had been playing fall ball. So, we went on the field and I saw it kind of toward its best. It was just unbelievable — the view, the stands, the underneath facilities, everything. It was just great," said Rodgers, who will likely be a second or third baseman on the Southeastern Conference level.
Under the leadership of Serrano, recruiting coordinator Bill Mosiello and associate head coach Greg Bergeron, the Memphis product is quite confident the train on Rocky Top will be back on the tracks soon.
"We do," Rodgers said. "The 2012 class is very confident. They've got a lot of great players, great dudes, great attitudes. They've really bought in already from what coach Bergie and coach Mo tell me. Our class is just the same. We've got about 10 guys in our class. We're not the biggest class. We're buying in, and we're ready to get Tennessee baseball turned back around."
Presently, Rodgers is the lone member of Team Tennessee that competed, went undefeated and won the 2012 Jr. Sunbelt Classic in McAlester, Okla., last summer to commit to the Big Orange. He plans to carry that momentum over to the prep level later this month.
"I can't wait," he said. "Three straight second places (for MUS at state), along with second place (in football). I couldn't be more excited. I've got more confidence now that I'm committed and signed. I just feel renewed."
In the Division II Class AA West Region tournament, MUS beat Christian Brothers 12-2 on Wednesday. Plunkett picked up his third win on the mound. Rodgers smacked his sixth and seventh home runs.
After coming up short repeatedly at the BlueCross Spring Fling, the Owls plan to finish the fight and bring home a TSSAA state championship. Last year, Battle Ground Academy defeated them 10-5 in the state opener and again in the final 5-3.
This year's tourney gets underway on May 21.

programming in Mathematica
I am writing a package for Mathematica 3.0, and I am having trouble with
the parsing of quotation marks. When I use Print statements, the
notebook cell evaluator doesn't seem to read the statements correctly.
It claims
that the containing function (not the Print function, but the one in
which it appears) is missing a closing parenthesis. The solution, in
many cases, has been to delete one of the quotation marks and then
enter it again, or to delete the entire Print statement and enter it
Here is an example of what I am talking about:
func[x_] := (
Print["this is a debug message", someValue]; doSomethingElse;
The error messsage would be something like: func has no closing ")"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We face the same dilemma every summer: The weather is gorgeous, but the movie theater beckons with blockbusters! Give yourself a break from the sun and bask in the AC with these new flicks.
The Movie: The Internship, in theaters June 7
- Why You Should Go See It: What better way to celebrate the season of summer internships than watching two hilarious middle-aged guys struggle as Google interns? It's just the comedy we've been searching (ha) for.
- Who We Love In It: Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson! When these two come together, the result is comic gold. Exhibit A: Wedding Crashers.
The Movie: This Is The End, in theaters June 12
- Why You Should Go See It: With so many apocalyptic movies hitting theaters this year, we're starting to get a little paranoid. But maybe the end of the world won't be so bad, if it's anything like this zany meta-comedy. A party at James Franco's house is cut short by the apocalypse, and the hapless celebs (playing themselves) fight for survival.
- Who We Love In It: Everyone! From Rogen to Rihanna, it's packed with big-name cast members and cameos.
The Movie: Man of Steel, in theaters June 14
- Why You Should Go See It: There have been countless films and TV series about Superman, but this visually stunning adaptation takes the classic story to new heights. Don your red cape and prepare to unleash your inner comic book nerd.
- Who We Love In It: Henry Cavill! At the risk of sounding superficial, chiseled jaws and buff bods are our kryptonite.
The Movie: The Bling Ring, in theaters June 14
- Why You Should Go See It: We've all drooled over starlets' gorgeous designer duds, but the teens in this glam flick take the ogling way too far by burglarizing celeb mansions. The fact that this Sofia Coppola film is based on a true story makes it even more scandalous.
- Who We Love In It: Emma Watson! Holy horcrux, Hermione has officially left Hogwarts. She transfigures into a Cali bad girl, Valley accent and all.
The Movie: World War Z, in theaters June 21
- Why You Should Go See It: You'll score major brownie points if you take your guy to see this zombie blockbuster. It's action-packed and adrenaline-pumping, with special effects so intense that you'll be squirming in your seat and wanting to brush up on your survival skills.
- Who We Love In It: Brad Pitt! He's still looking fine–it's no wonder those zombies want a piece of him.
The Movie: Monsters University, in theaters June 21
- Why You Should Go See It: Come on, admit it: You totally watched Monsters, Inc. last weekend. This time, the not-so-scary monsters go to college. The prequel combines whimsical animation and humor that both kids and, ahem, big kids alike can appreciate.
- Who We Love In It: Mike and Sulley (aka Billy Crystal and John Goodman)! There's a whole new crew, but we'll always have a special place in our hearts for that spherical cyclops and fuzzy giant.
The Movie: The Heat, in theaters June 28
- Why You Should Go See It: We've seen plenty of buddy cop movies, but this time it's ladies in blue. With Sandra Bullock as an FBI agent and director Paul Feig at the wheel, we're expecting this to be a laugh-tastic mashup of Miss Congeniality and Bridesmaids.
- Who We Love In It: Melissa McCarthy! She rocks it as a potty-mouthed police officer.

Tall Tales
Tall Tales now has it's own website, or sort of. It's main home from now on will be Listen & Often, which is the name of the TT podcast. I will be migrating content over there in the next short period of time.
TT is an evening of comic stories and songs which runs on the last Thursday of every second month at Kilburn's great Good Ship. It is inspired by The Prairie Home Companion, and absolutely not by nights of literary readings.
Tall Tales Newsflash (increasingly an Oldsflash, but increasingly I don't care): Warhorses of Letters has been commissioned by R4 for broadcast in October. The first, maybe, but not the last. John Finnemore didn't need Tall Tales, but Tall Tales is where you get to see first drafts of some things that will be in his upcoming sketch show.
Newsflash 2: Told you it was not the last. Ian Leslie's magic series Before They Were Famous has also been commissioned by Radio 4.
The Next Tall Tales
Really, visit Listen & Often for updates. I won't update this page from now on. The 2012 shows will are scheduled to be on 26th January, 29th March, 31st May, 26th July, 27th September and 29th November but, like I say, do check nearer the time.
Venue is Good Ship, Doors are 19.30, show is 20.00, tickets are £5. To reserve tickets, email talltalesnight at gmail.
Tall Tales Stars (More Than There Are in Heaven)
Incomplete list
Helen Arney, musical comedian. She also performs, among other places, at the New Red Lion Theatre's excellent monthly Festival of the Spoken Nerd. She once sang a song about a colossal squid while dressed as a mermaid. It is hard to imagine how she and Tall Tales found each other.
Emma Beddington, writer and important legal mind. Emma's blog, Belgian Waffle, is one of the best things on the web. It gets frequently nominated for awards, and almost every female journalist in London is obsessed with it, and so am I.
Benet Brandreth, force of nature. His Brandreth Papers are a fantastic collection of what were fantastic episodes, every word of which Tall Tales audience members heard with fearful clarity. If you're going to be in Edinburgh, watch them there.
Toby Davies, comedy writer and performer. He writes for Mitchell and Webb and I'm Sorry I've Got No Head, which is better than any television programme made for children when I was a child, except for The Song and the Story with Isla St Clair. His work on a beautiful and internationally successful play about Saki influenced him.
Gareth Edwards, comedy producer. Producer of That Mitchell & Webb Sound and Look, Bleak Expectations and Warhorses of Letters. Not the director of Monsters, but do ask him about that.
John Finnemore, comedy writer and performer. John's Radio 4 sitcom, Cabin Pressure, is super and series three will be broadcast later this year. If you're not already a fan of it you must crazy. He's writing a sketch show for Radio 4 as well.
Hannah Jones, writer. Hannah's blog, Why Miss Jones, is blood in the water to various televisual sharks. I can never remember what I am allowed to say about it. This seems pretty safe.
Ian Leslie, writer and writer. He wrote about the Obama election and you should bookmark Marbury, his mainly-politics blog, as a matter of urgency. He's just released Born Liars, a book about lying, which is going to be Radio 4's Book of the Week at some point.
Marie Phillips, writer. As well as her bestselling novel Gods Behaving Badly, Marie co-hosts Book Swap, an evening of author interviews and bookswapping (like you'd think), in Windsor. She's my co-writer onWarhorses of Letters, so I cannot be expected to be unbiased about her and I am not.
Mike Westcott, poet. Mike is producing a spreadsheet with all the things that happened in history on it. It is a work in progress.

TPL Dataflow and complex object structures
I have a question regarding TPL Dataflow and how I can use it to process a complex tree of objects. To illustrate the question I think it's a good idea to use an example, so here it goes.
I have a schedule to make for a week. I have a couple of employees I can schedule, and when I schedule an employee on a particular day I need to run various checks to make sure I can actually schedule that employee (things such as "Is the employee available on that day at that particular time" and "Isn't the employee going to make to many hours this week if I add schedule him/her for this period of time", etc.). Since I don't know all the checks I need to perform up front and that this all needs to be done fast and asynchronously I thought TPL Dataflow might be a good option to take a look at.
Now I'm trying to create a proof of concept to see if it can be done using TPL Dataflow but I'm running into a problem where I think I don't understand it well enough yet, so I was hoping somebody can help me with this.
What I have right now is a class which implements an interface that defines a single property Input of type ITargetBlock<Employee>. Since I want these checks to be pluggable, I imagined creating multiple implementations of the same interface and then linking them together. Inside each of those classes I want to create the necessary DataflowBlocks and link them to the Input property to actually perform the check I want to do. Currently I have just one implementation of the interface which should perform the check to see if the employee is available at the time I have scheduled him/her. However, one employee might have several shifts scheduled, so I need to create a combination of the employee and a shift. Here is a rough sketch of what the class structure looks like:
class Employee { IEnumerable<Period> Shifts { get; } IEnumerable<Period> Availability { get; } } class Period { DateTime Date { get; set; } TimeSpan StartTime { get; set; } TimeSpan EndTime { get; set; } }
As I said my input is an ITargetBlock<Employee>, which is internally implemented as a BufferBlock<Employee>. Now this is where the problems start. I can of course link a TransformManyBlock<Employee, Period>(employee => employee.Shifts) to it, but how then am I going to join both the employee and one particular shift back into a single Tuple that contains both the employee and the shift. I tried using the JoinBlock<Employee,Period>, but I don't see how I can guarantee that the Employee and the Period that come out of that JoinBlock actually belong together. Am I missing something here, or is what I'm trying to do completely wrong?
Hi Jonathan-
From your description, it's not clear to me that TPL Dataflow is the right solution here.
If you were implementing this synchronously and sequentially, what would the high-level psuedocode look like? It sounds like your implementing an optimization problem, and I'd expect that for such problems you'd be better off parallelizing the solution using Parallel.For or PLINQ, and if you need it to run asynchronously from the caller, wrapping the whole thing in a Task.Run (or Task.Factory.StartNew) call. That's just a guess, without knowing more about your needs.

The Acer Travelmate 244LC is a very good entry level laptop.
We use the 244LC for a range of tasks ranging from video and music playback to word processing applications with no problems what so ever.
We bought the Travelmate 4 years ago for £799 which was good for the level of spec 4 years ago.
The Travelmate 244LC comes with a 15" TFT LCD screen installed, which is capable of giving good, consistent colour definition to films and games being played, and with a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 which is more than enough on a 15" screen.
The laptop is home to an Intel Celeron 2.6GHz processor which as anyone who knows about CPUs is mainly a word processing CPU which is not really designed for high graphics applications or movies, but it's more than capable of doing so without error.
256mb of DDR SDRAM is all the memory the laptop comes with, which for normal word processing and book keeping its more than adequate, but for anything else more is always better. The 244LC has room for another memory stick so its very easy to upgrade should you feel the need for more memory.
The 244LC also comes fitted with a 30GB hard drive which when the laptop was first released was a capable and ample sized drive but with broadband speeds increasing making much more information available to you, a 30GB HDD just isn't enough. A DVD/D-RW is also included in the feature listing.
As for connectability the laptop has the usual 10/100mb wired network connections but does not have built in wireless or bluetooth just because of the age of the laptop these features we not really factory standard at the time.
Only downside I have found is that the battery has slowly started to loose power quicker and quicker, so I have to run it off mains power other wise it informs me battery power is low. Replacing the battery just isnt cost effective as a new one is arround half the price of a newer higher spec laptop.
Overall a very useable affordable laptop which is more than capable of doing much more than it's specified to do.
