Quality Pays
By John Bain (email@example.com)
In my line of work, I frequently make trips to visit customers, carrying lots of sales material. Years ago, when I was working in New York, I used to buy the cheapest luggage I could find at the local discount stores in lower Manhattan. They weren't very durable, but they were cheap!
For one trip, I bought a brand new soft-side bag for $10, and set out for Boston, loaded with literature. By the time I got to the airport, all the handles and carrying straps had broken or ripped out. Infuriated, I went to the nearest pay-phone and called L.L. Bean: "What is the most expensive under-seat travel bag you make?... Great, I'll take one! Embroider my initials on it, and send it to me."
That was twelve years ago. The bag cost $99. (The initials were free on a special promotion.) I use it on every trip, and I just had to have it repaired for the first time; one seam was starting to rip out.
The repair is undetectable, and the bag looks so good that people can't believe it is twelve years old. So the moral is: $10 for a "bargain" product that lasts one day, or a good one that costs $8.00 per year? Quality pays.
a similar tale?

An HTC handset with FCC ID NM8PB99100 and the model name "NEXUSONE" has made its way though the revealing process of FCC approval. The documents posted by the FCC divulge the presence of cellular radios supporting quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSUPA (2Mbps up and 7.2Mbps down) on 850/1700/1900 frequencies. Savvy readers will immediately recognize that 1700MHz is used for T-Mobile's 3G network and that 850/1900MHz are the bands used for AT&T's special flavor of 3G. Excellent news for consumers in the US as an unlocked Nexus One could be used on either T-Mobile's or AT&T's high speed data network. Anyone on the fence about the Nexus One, ready to take a closer look at this rumored device now that it has been revealed to potentially have full NAM support?
Update: Some errors in the FCC documentation have been discovered and AT&T's 3G network is NOT supported by the Nexus One. The FCC incorrectly labeled WCDMA VIII as 815-880 when in fact it is 890-915. The Nexus One will have 3G support in WCDMA Band I, Band IV, and Band VIII which corresponds to tri-band UMTS/HSUPA 2100/1700/900, respectively. T-Mobile uses the 1700MHz frequency for its 3G network so the Nexus One is compatible with T-Mobile 3G. AT&T uses 850/1900MHz which is not included in the Nexus One. Customers that use the Nexus One on AT&T will do so at EDGE speeds only, no 3G connectivity on AT&T is possible.

Pop quiz: You work for a title company. During a routine audit of your closed files you discover that a lien release is missing from a deal that closed a few years ago. Without the lien release your customer's house remains subject to a lien granted by the residential developer who sold the lot to your customer. Do you (a) request a lien waiver to make sure things are in order or (b) let sleeping dogs lie?
I'm not going to tell you what I would do, but a recent case decided by the Missouri Court of Appeals (Melson v. Traxler) dealt with just such a scenario. [click to continue…]

ST. LOUIS (AP) – A St. Louis man has been sentenced to four years in prison for burning a dog alive.
A judge on Thursday sentenced 23-year-old Wesley Reid, who pleaded guilty to one count of animal abuse and one count of burning property.
The incident happened in August. Reid set fire to the dog because the owner had failed to pay a $50 debt.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the 3-year-old pit bull named Zeus was tied to a fence when Reid doused him with gasoline and started a fire.
The dog was burned over 75 percent of his head and had to be euthanized.
Reid's attorney, Michael Mahon, asked for probation.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by AI IS GOD, Dec 30, 2008.
Who might that be?
One of these guys (as you can see in the pic, AI didn't get there by playing D)
Those pictures always creep me out. It's like the guy is levitating. Very weird.
That says AI to the 2nd unit. I think he would excel, rip would drive us nuts with his poor ball handling.
Where does the Rip + AI combo rank??? That is the big question.
You know who else can levitate? Pavel Datsyk. They also both went and saw Dr. Rahmani. Coincidence?
What I picture right now is a darken tent and a song playing in the background. There are three people in the middle. Two are introducing the eventual changing of events. Each has a favorite direction and each has their players about to be selected by the MC. This will be the most difficult decision the MC will ever have to make: he must choose who plays in the main ring. The background song by Peggy Lee and the title of the song: Is That All There Is? YouTube - Is That All There Is? Lyrics The lyrics of this existentialist song are written from the point of view of a person who is disillusioned with events in life that are supposed unique experiences. The singer tells the story of when she saw her family's house on fire when she was a little girl, when she saw the circus and when she fell in love for the first time. After each story, she expresses her disappointment in each experience. She suggests that we "break out the booze and have a ball — if that's all — there is", instead of worrying about life. She also explains that she'll never kill herself either because she knows that death will be a disappointment as well. [edit] Inspiration The song was inspired by the story "Disillusionment" by Thomas Mann, written in 1896. The narrator in Mann's story tells the same stories of when he was a child. One difference between the story and the song is that the narrator in Mann's story finally has a sensation to feel free when he sees the sea for the first time and laments for a sea without a horizon. Most of the lyrics of the chorus are actually spoken in the story.

Felony domestic assault charge against Dante Cunningham dropped
By Joe Perovich | KFAN.com
Hennepin County authorities have dropped a felony domestic assault charge against 27-year-old free agent forward Dante Cunningham.
In April, Cunningham was accused of choking his girlfriend in their suburban Minneapolis home. He faced a charge of domestic assault by strangulation in Hennepin County.
#Twolves confirm all charges against unrestricted free agent Dante Cunningham have been dropped by the Hennepin County Attorney's office.
— Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) August 18, 2014
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported the following:
In their dismissal notice, Hennepin County prosecutors said: "Based on further investigation, there is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt for the charged offense."
Cunningham was traded to Minnesota from the Memphis Grizzlies in July 2012 for shooting guard Wayne Ellington.
The 6-foot-8 forward was one of the league's most efficient offensive players around the basket before the trade, but has seen his success rate dip since joining the Timberwolves.
Cunningham averaged 6.5 points and 4.1 rebounds in 22.7 minutes during the 2013-14 season.
He is currently an unrestricted free agent.

Bryant 90i Plus delivers Little Heat
My Bryant 90i Plus (355MAV, 60kBTU) is delivering too little heat this winter season. I was not suspicious until the outside temperature dipped
below freezing. A 3degF jump in temperature increase in the morning (requested by the programmable thermostat) takes about 4-6 hours to achieve. I very much suspect that the blower speed is too low for the high-heat mode. The furnace controller does not display any errors in normal operation. The microprocessor passes all self tests without any errors. The blower speeds up during the self test. (There is at least a 'low'and a 'hgh'speed.) - The furnace has no problem with the 3degF heat requests, if in emergency mode [and, thus, running at max speed]. Since the blower can run at maximum speed, why does the controller not regulate the blower to higher/highest blowr speeds. - I would also say that the air speed out of the registers is lower than last year.
Is there anybody who can provide some diagnostic insight into this furnace problem? I would like to keep the repair cost to a minimum by exchanging the correct component the first time around. Thanks for any advise.
I assume the air filter and a/c evaporator are clean. Is the high fire stage brought on by the processor or the thermostat? Is the furnace even going into high fire? If it's controlled by the thermostat, the offset between the first and second stage may be such that it doesn't go into high fire. If controlled by the processor , could be the processor or gas valve.
Thanks for your quick reply. The air filter is new (8 weeks, changed at the beginning of heating season). It appears to make no difference whether the thermostat or the furnace controller is requesting the high-heat. Either way the heat output appears low. The second stage valve pulls through and it is energized with 24V.(audible klicking of the the valve selenoid). - I changed the gas valve, since I suspected it just like you do. I will check the A/C evaporator (heat exchanger) for cleanliness. [That would be quite some back pressure in the ducts, but this might fool the microcontroller in lowering the maximum blower speed during its startup calibration cycle.]
There may be a dip switch on the processor marked emergency heat. If there is, you can switch it to emergency. This will run the furnace in high fire and blower on high speed. Did you check the high fire manifold gas pressure to make sure it is correct. If this furnace is propane, both high and low pressures will be low with a new valve.
They come regulated for natural gas from the factory and need to be adjusted for propane.
There is indeed a bank of dip-switches on the controller board and that is exactly how I operate the furnace currently, in emergency heat at high-heat and maximum blower speed. This is also the operating mode that made me more suspicious about the blower speed than the gas valve/flow. One thing remains for sure: I will check the A/C-evaporator as you pointed out previously. - By the way, the gas valve came with instructions from Carrier and made no mention of any adjustments for gas type. I am operating the furnace on natural gas supplied by the utility company.
Did you change the board settings comfort this summer.
In comfort, it doesn't run the blower at high speed.
Read the install manual, to make the proper settings.
Its not, and was not the gas valve. Or it wouldn't have made a difference in emegency mode/setting.
Problem now, is you don't know if the new gas valve is set to the correct pressure, unless you used a manometer to check it.
I did not change the settings for "CF" and "AC" [ continuous fan, air condition] during the summer. The setting remain at the highest allowed setting for the configuration (60kBTU). The gas valve exchange did not change the overall behaviour of the furnace whether in "normal mode" or ine "emergency mode". Heat output is too little under "normal operation". Only in emergency mode (max blower speed) is the heat output more than sufficient. The 3degF in the morning is easily achived in 15-30min.
Did it work ok in normal mode last winter.
YES, the furnace worked very well last season and produced the required heat achieving the 3degF increase every morning easily within 15-30 min.
I checked the A/C-evaporator/heat exchanger and it looks clean. Now, I am really running out of ideas and begin to suspect the calibration cycle the microprocessor goes through. According to the manual (58MVP, HK42FZ012), the blower increases speed after the low pressure switch closes. The micro measures the RPM at the time the high pressure switch closes and uses this RPM for the high-heat mode. If the high-pressure sensor is faulty (but not broken!) and/or the RPM-feedback to the micro is faulty, the blower speed will remain too low without any errors indicated on the board. Which one is it? the high-pressure switch or the controller? - Any thoughts?
Are you getting any error codes when the unit goes into high fire? If the pressure switch failed to close you would get an error code.
Skip 4661,
There are no errors. [... and as I wrote the controller self check exercises all components except the gas valve correctly and without any errors.] - That's why I wrote the pressure switch is possibly "faulty" (closes at incorrect high-pressure) "but not broken". Similarly, the micro gets the RPM of the motor when the high-pressure switch closes, but it might not be the correct/actual one (because something is faulty in the RPM feedback).
PS: During the self check, the micro controls the blower to a 'low' and 'high' setting for the correct time.
Have found moisture in the pressure switches before. You can remove them and see if you can shake anything out.
Good idea and I checked that. All the pressure tubing is very clean and free of any moisture. In my downdraft configuration the pressure switches are at the highest point of all the sensing tubing.
Beenthere & SKIP4661
(and everyone else who is stumbling across this thread).
The problem with my BRYANT 90i plus (355MAV with HK42FZ012 controller, 60kBTU) persists. It still delivers too little heat in "normal control mode" namely 1st and 2nd stage appear to be active, but the output heat is too little to keep the house at comfortable temperatures when the outside temperature dips below freezing. [The house was kept warm very well last winter season and there were no physocal changes done to the system.] - There is no error code. The controller passes the self test without any error codes. Since the self test does not actuate the gas valve, I originally suspected that the HIGH-heat selenoid of the gas valve does not open although 24VAC are present and the selenoid klicks. A new gas valve did not make a difference! I changed the controller board without making a difference either! - I verified that the HIGH-heat mode indeed uses about twice as much gas (about 1 cf/min) as the LOW heat mode (about .4 cf) by observing the gas meter. The temperature increase across the heat exchanger confirmed what I already knew observing the home temperature: In normal control mode, I measure a temperature differential for both LOW- and HIGH-heat of about 50F which is at the very low end of the temperature range for the HIGH-mode and clearly below the temperature range for the LOW-mode specified on the furnace label. - I have no idea what is wrong with the furnace except that I still believe that the blower speed(s) are too low certainly for the HIGH-heat mode.
I am surviving the winterseason by putting the controller in "emergency heat" that runs the blower and inducer at maximum speeds and keeps the house comfortably warm. The gas consumption is just the same as in the HIGH-heat mode (about 1cf/min) and I measure a temperature differential of about 100F across the heat exchanger. That certainly heats the home, just the blower is a little noiser.
If anybody has any brilliant idea what else I can do, I appreciate your posting.

Saturday's NBC telecast of Swansea City-Manchester United -- its first ever broadcast of the English Premier League -- drew a
0.8 overnight rating to rank fourth out of eight live network soccer broadcasts on English-language television in 2013.
NBC Sports Group aired three opening-day games live -- Swansea
City-Manchester United on NBC and Liverpool-Stoke City and Arsenal-Aston Villa on NBCSN -- and they averaged a 0.5 overnight rating – up 67 percent from last season's opening Saturday
three-game average (0.3 average for one match on ESPN and two on Fox Soccer).
The rating points represent the percentage of all households with televisions tuned in, according to
Nielsen's survey of the top 56 U.S. metered markets.
Soccer ratings tend to fall as the final ratings account for all markets, taking in smaller, more rural markets where soccer is less
2013 Network Overnight Ratings:
1.7 Fox: USA-Panama (Gold Cup final)
1.2 Fox: USA-El Salvador (Gold Cup quarterfinals)
1.0 Fox: Bayern-Munich-Dortmund (UEFA Champions League final)
NBC: Swansea City-Man. United (English Premier League)
Philadelphia Union-New York Red Bulls (MLS)
0.7 Fox: USA-Cuba (Gold Cup first round)
0.6 Fox: Real Madrid-Everton (Guinness Int'l Champions Cup)
0.5 Fox: Wigan-Man. City (English FA Cup final)
Note: English-language television only.
Given the heavy promotion of NBC's EPL launch,
one might imagine a higher rating for the game, but summer ratings for all network programming are notoriously low and an opening game involving Swansea City wasn't exactly going to draw in fans.
Fox, which held the EPL rights until this season, experimented with live coverage of two matches in early 2012. Manchester United's 3-3 tie with Chelsea drew a 1.0 overnight rating on Fox on
Super Bowl, up from the 0.9 overnight for Manchester United's 2-1 win over Arsenal two weeks earlier.
Top 10 Swansea-Man. United Ratings:
2.2 Washington
1.9 Tulsa
1.8 Austin
1.4 Seattle
1.4 Buffalo
1.2 Los Angeles
1.0 Cincinnati
1.0 Orlando
0.9 Hartford/New

The Bunny Book (Little Golden Book) (1955)
by Patsy Scarry
No current Talk conversations about this book.
29 months -
This covers a variety of jobs a child might dream up for themselves or family members as they guess what they will be when they grow up. It is fun to see kids react to the various careers such as doctor, lifeguard, lion tamer, mailman, etc. So many parents try to guess what their child will be so it can be a fun read for them too.
The family of a baby bunny all tries to guess what he will be when he grows up. They tell tales of him being a mail man, a farmer, a lifeguard and many more. Although his family had lots of great ideas of what he could be, he knows what he wants to be, a daddy bunny.
Personal reaction:
It brings back memories of my childhood reading Richard Scarry books, it was like a trip back in time.
Classroom extension ideas:
1) The students could dress up as each other different professions, and act out those parts in the book.
2) It could teach children of the different career options they have as an adult.
3) It can be used to teach children they can be whatever their heart desires when they get older.
Cute little bunny book!

But the baby only nibbles on his carrot and looks wise . . . for he knows he will grow up to be a nice daddy bunny!

- - Do other people just see your GSD and walk the other way? MOVED (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/stories/433057-do-other-people-just-see-your-gsd-walk-other-way-moved.html)
Do other people just see your GSD and walk the other way? MOVED
Does this happen to you frequently? Yesterday I took my boy Hunter on a walk and one this man asked me if i can walk the other way to not go near him. My dog was completely fine it wasn't like Hunter was barking at him or anything. And there was another time where a lady with her Boxer stopped until i past and asked " Is your dog friendly, I saw him starring at us from all the way over there" My pup is so friendly! I wish people weren't so scared of him :mad:
Yes. The funny thing is that when I see people coming towards us I walk Traveler off the path and when they are ~30 yards or so away, I put him in a down stay.
I had one guy cross the street when we were still a block away. When he got closer, I told him what I do so he doesn't have to worry if he sees us again. He told me I shouldn't be walking the dog at all. What???? "Don't you know they are vicious?" Yeah, Traveler, my therapy dog. Yeah, sure buddy.
Our pup is doing service dog work, so we will see people grab their children and walk away, or have the "I'm afraid of dogs" comment.. Like what am I suppose to do? Leave because your uncomfortable? Had a local restaurant say something about the dog before they were informed its against the law in my state to even ask what the dog is for. Now it's more of a habit to just ignore the rude and uneducated people. Focus on the big smiles and nice comments.

The people that are truly afraid of GSDs will spot them a mile away, and do what it takes to avoid them. One of my neighbors is like this - because he was bitten a thousand years ago, so now he hates them all, lol. Whatever. The people who actually say things are just crabby idiots, and it's a waste of breath to speak to them. The one thing that's fun to do is to learn a phrase in another language, so they'll stop talking to you. :D
Some people are just genuinely afraid of GSD or large dogs.
I was entering a path at a park- dogs are welcome if leashed. There was an elderly couple coming the opposite way. The man clearly afraid. Rusty was walking beside me nicely, a lot of slack in the leash. I decided to turn around & go another way. The wife thanked my from a distance & said her husband is terrified of a GSD.
I don't know- when in public I try to be courteous of others. Not everyone enjoys the company of dogs.
I'm afraid of small children & avoid them:p
It may not always be your dog or the breed, there are dog reactive or human reactive even aggressive dogs out there whose owners have to be on guard at all times, or people are just nervous around strange dogs.
Personally I ignore when people give Delgado scared looks, most calm right down when they see how well behaved he is. If they're willing to move out of the way and give us a wide berth or move across the street it just means more sidewalk or aisle for us to walk on ;)
Yes , all the time. I also have a large Mastiff and a large Boxer mix. I'm a small woman , people may worry I can't control them if they lunge.
A lot of people have been traumatized by irresponsible owners , many as children. I do not get upset if people are afraid , I try to be courteous and give them their space. If people are mean about wat I am walking , where , when etc I just laugh to myslef and shrug . What else can you do ? My hands are usually full , usually have kids with me too , I dont have the time or the desire to engage with them.
I had a lady once , she was from Poland maybe , and she was at the park with her little girls. My dog was on a leash well behaved at my side . We were sitting at a bench watching my 2 kids play on the park gear. She actually asked me if I would please put my dog in the car because she was bitten by a GSD as a child , was terrified , and did not want to let her girls play at the park unlessthe dog was safely "away" . She added the dog that attacked her was supposedly trained and jerked the lead out of the owners hand. I just replied that I was sorry that happened to her , but no I will not be removing my dog. Leashed dogs are allowed , if she has a phobia she will need to be the one to go somewhere else. She just stood there and asked why should she be the one to leave...told her because she was the one with an issue and could she please get out of my way as I cant see my 2 kids playing. Thanks. She left in a huff with her girls .
Oh well?? Aside from being firm yet polite there is not much you can do in these situations.
I have never been asked to walk in a different direction with my GSD but I have seen people cross the street to avoid us or people create a bigger distance between us. I have heard people say "what is that" while looking at him. To those who have never heard of a black GSD or have seen one I often get the comment "is that a wolf" he is much larger and more intimidating in person.
I used to walk Pyrate to the post office every morning. One of the clerks there is totally afraid of big dogs and Pyrate was tall and when in good health around 110 pounds. One of the other clerks who knows me asked her to meet Pyrate. Pyrate laid down and rolled over for her to pet his belly on the first meeting. She petted him then and again every time she saw him, eventually getting kisses as well. The post mistress told me if I was ever in line and it was taking a long time that Pyrate was welcome to come wait in her office because she missed her dog. The original lady who was afraid eventually told me she had been bitten as a child but when she met my dog she just knew by the way he was so gentle that it was safe. Now she will pet Raina as well. She told me she knows now that my dogs are always going to be gentle with her and it makes her feel safe petting them. I'm glad to be able to provide a good GSD example for her so she could get passed her fear. She retired this year and came around and said a special good bye to Raina because she said she would miss them most of all. Pyrate's been gone now for a couple years but I still miss him too. Some people sadly never get over the fear so it is best to just give them space. I will walk off the path and put my dog in a sit when I see someone coming on a bicycle or even walking. Most appreciate it.

text: [1] that Symmonds had managed to win four consecutive USATF titles in one of his sport's most demanding and strategically complex races. "There is absolutely no room for error. Often, it is not necessarily the fittest person that wins the race, but the person with the best tactics," he says of the 800. "This can be frustrating on the world level where a fraction of a second separates the top 20 competitors. However, if you are anyone other than the favorite, you have to love the fact that anything can happen and anyone on the starting line has a fair shot of winning the race." Symmonds believes "the biggest jump in athletics is from the 800m to the 1500m because it is the jump where most athletes go from running positive splits to aiming for negative splits." And he feels that in the 1500, "with a slight shift in training I am capable of running under 3:35."(photo of Nick Symmonds by Photo Run) More [2]

According to the National Fire Protection Association, correctly knowing the operation of your windows plays an important role in your safety at home.
- Fire Fact #1: An open window can add oxygen to a fire, making it grow faster.
- Fire Fact #2: Keep windows closed if the fire is outside the window. An open window may allow embers, smoke or fire to enter the room. If an occupant is isolated in a room from the fire by a closed door, the window may be opened to allow fresh air and the ability for the person to signal to rescuers they need assistance in escaping.
- Fire Fact #3: Working smoke alarms throughout the home are one of the most critical aspects of helping people quickly and safely escape the home during a fire. A smoke alarm should be installed inside each bedroom, outside the sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. Test smoke alarms at least monthly.
To make sure your windows are ready for a quick exit in the event of a fire, consider the following window fire safety tips:
- Tip #1: If a door is not safe to escape through, open a window to exit onto a roof or use an escape ladder. Do not break the glass of the window, because it could cause injury.
- Tip #2: Doors and windows equipped with security bars should have emergency release devices inside that allow occupants to push the bars open from the inside.
- Tip #3: Make sure children and adults practice opening windows that may be needed for exiting during a fire. Ensure that children understand escape ladders should only be used in emergency situations.

If you caught the Grammy Awards' red carpet last night or at least some of the performances and awards, then you definitely caught some beautiful dresses and some of the unusual "dresses" of certain artists.
TBS has a really good show on at 11pm. Conan O' Brien is now on TBS, and the show is so much better. This is why I think its better.
Ford Motor Company is recalling over 16-hundred vehicles due to a safety issue.
It's ironic I stumbled upon this information this morning because when I first got my new smartphone it did dawn on me my phone could be the target of a cyber attack. And then just last week, Jeff Levack asked our digital specialist if phones could one day be susceptible to viruses or hackers.
Most people who know me, know I'm not a huge television guru. Typically when I have the time, I flip through the channels, but end up cursing at every show. However, in my moment of hibernation last night, I stumbled upon a new show called "Lights Out." Despite only being on since January, the show is really quite good.
You can almost predict who will win the Academy Rewards on Sunday. (They're not MY predictions, mind you. I ain't that smart). But this guy does makes sense..
A few weeks back, I wrote a blog about cardio machine etiquette and how it is not polite to stare at someone else while they work out. Many of you agreed with my fustration -- some also knew exactly what I had experienced, having experienced it themselves.
I now write to you about something else at the gym -- something that affects not only the guilty party, but the innocent bystanders. Everyone who works out should be aware of gym smells and what they mean.
This season I have been trying to check out "American Idol." I was interested to see how the show would be without Paula Abdul and now, Simon Cowell. On that topic, "Idol" is actually pretty funny. Steven Tyler's facial expressions are classic and Jennifer Lopez is so sweet and cute. I still could do without Randy, but oh well.
Ok, got that out of the way. So last night, my boyfriend and I were watching the tail end of the "American Idol" and, like every tv network, when one show ends, a new show begins. In this instance, "Bones" came on next. I've seen many previews and commercials for "Bones," but never actually caught an episode. Until last night, and all I can say is WOW! Have you seen this show before? Most importantly, did you catch last night's episode?!?!?
Nominations for the 83rd Oscar Awards were announced this morning at a press conference in Beverly Hills.
It's about time we promoted YouTube. Lord knows we all use them enough. Yes, we've all seen the cat playing the piano, whole armies of people breaking into song at the mall, and the ever popular double rainbow. But what's coming is totally amazing....
No one listens to me. I've been saying this for years. Just ask the other members of our morning show. I was the ONLY skeptic when Al Gore blab blab blabbed about his dumb theories in that ridiculous movie of In fact, to bring home the point, I "rubbed it in" this morning by singing about it.

1911: Media theorist Marshall McLuhan escapes the medium of the womb to become a founding messenger of the electronic future. His scholarly analyses like The Mechanical Bride, The Gutenberg Galaxy, Understanding Media, The Medium Is the Massage encode pop culture and postmodernism's cultural and economic dominance from the 20th century onward.
(Surfing his wave, Wired magazine adopted Marshall McLuhan as its patron saint in its debut 1993 issue.)
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, his mother eventually became an actress, and his father sold real estate and served in the Canadian army in World War I. Young McLuhan merged his initial interest in engineering with a love of literature that taught him to unlock the power of language.
His fascination with the machinery of wordplay won him two bachelor's and two master's degrees in English — from the University of Manitoba and England's Cambridge University, respectively — as well as a Ph.D. from Cambridge, His dissertation examined 16th-century English pamphleteer and satirist Thomas Nashe.
By the time McLuhan left academia's student ranks in December 1943, the post-war dawn of boundlessly influential mass media had nearly arrived, and McLuhan had married aspiring actress Corinne Keller Lewis. Before regular network broadcasting flourished in the '50s, the productive McLuhan had taught at University of Wisconsin, St. Louis University, Ontario's Assumption University and the University of Toronto.
He'd also published his first analytic compilation The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man, which both dissected and skewered advertising, in 1951.
But it is his subsequent Ford Foundation–funded lectures on communication and culture at the University of Toronto that galvanized critical and commercial inquiry into marketing, technology and perception, and laid the groundwork for his own future fame.
To keep McLuhan from being spirited away by mounting academic competitors, the University of Toronto made him a full professor in 1952, created the Centre for Culture and Technology in 1963, and smartly sewed him up until 1979. That year, he suffered a stroke. The university tried to shutter his research center, but popular protests from students and other fans helped to keep it open.
That included director Woody Allen, who in 1977 inserted McLuhan into the Oscar-winning film Annie Hall to berate a prattling New Yorker with the immortal line: "You know nothing of my work."
McLuhan's work has become ever more important in an internetworked 21st century, where his legendary aphorisms like "the medium is the message" are provided with no shortage of persuasive case studies. The phrase first appeared in McLuhan's landmark 1964 study Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, which explored the ways media affect and accelerate local and global cultures, regardless of their content.
Like his 1962 work The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man, Understanding Media charted the ways in which technological innovations, from the printing press to electronic communication, have reoriented personal identity and social organization.
It is not the message but the "medium that shapes and controls the scale and form of human association and action," he explained in Understanding Media. Or, as he presciently argued in The Gutenberg Galaxy, long before Google, Facebook, Twitter and terrorism competed for humanity's psychic and economic energy:
The world has become a computer, an electronic brain…. And as our senses have gone outside us, Big Brother goes inside. So, unless aware of this dynamic, we shall at once move into a phase of panic terrors, exactly befitting a small world of tribal drums, total interdependence, and superimposed co-existence. Terror is the normal state of any oral society, for in it everything affects everything all the time…. In our long striving to recover for the Western world a unity of sensibility and of thought and feeling we have no more been prepared to accept the tribal consequences of such unity than we were ready for the fragmentation of the human psyche by print culture.
Along with anticipating our simultaneous connectivity and depersonalization through communication technology, McLuhan also coined much of the terminology we take as digital-age scripture. Besides "The medium is the message," technocultural standards like "global village" and perhaps even "surfing" were popularized by McLuhan, who like any brilliant cultural remixer lifted them from source texts like James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake, among others.
By the time McLuhan died on the last day of 1980, he had accrued more medals, citations, honorary degrees, controversy and pop-culture shout-outs than almost any other academic on Earth. Genesis sang about him in its acclaimed 1974 concept album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, while his work influenced cultural critics like Jean Baudrillard, artists like Andy Warhol and even politicians like Jerry Brown. (Who, it might be noted, is currently running for governor of California, the home of both Hollywood and Silicon Valley, where much of the digital age's most important and distracting innovations are created.)
As the years pass, McLuhan's circle of influence has a tendency to widen that way. During his life, it extended to marketers and multinationals. He consulted with and gave speeches to the corporate megaminds at AT&T and IBM, and became a media celebrity commanding explication in Newsweek, Harper's, Life and even Playboy. Columbia Records released a theoretically ambitious but often impenetrable audio version of his 1967 bestseller The Medium Is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects.
That benchmark work's central thesis — that all media are extensions of our senses — has achieved new cultural significance in our era of light-speed social networking, push-button wars and so-called reality television. It cemented McLuhan's technocultural legacy, and reinscribed humanity's rules of engagement, online and off.
"All media work us over completely," McLuhan explained. "They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered."

neighbourhoods where they dwelt. Ten to one most of the small shopkeepers in
their vicinity saw nothing at all in them. For I have observed this remarkable
coincidence, that the select natures who pant after the ideal, and find nothing in
pantaloons or petticoats great enough to command their reverence and love, are
curiously in unison with the narrowest and pettiest. For example, I have often
heard Mr. Gedge, the landlord of the Royal Oak, who used to turn a bloodshot
eye on his neighbours in the village of Shepperton, sum up his opinion of the
people in his own parish--and they were all the people he knew--in these
emphatic words: "Aye, sir, I've said it often, and I'll say it again, they're a poor lot
i' this parish--a poor lot, sir, big and little." I think he had a dim idea that if he
could migrate to a distant parish, he might find neighbours worthy of him; and
indeed he did subsequently transfer himself to the Saracen's Head, which was
doing a thriving business in the back street of a neighbouring market-town. But,
oddly enough, he has found the people up that back street of precisely the same
stamp as the inhabitants of Shepperton--"a poor lot, sir, big and little, and them
as comes for a go o' gin are no better than them as comes for a pint o' twopenny-
-a poor lot."

The touch of the cold steel was like a tonic; heart and blood responded immediately.

It was almost incredible, but that glowing mass of powder seemed literally to be sinking, sinking right down into the cold steel.
Steve writhed as though, literally, the eyes were cold steel and had pinned him down.

And it hurt like cold steel to think that I had to fence with my own boy in such a fashion.
A sharp fight with the cold steel followed, and a British officer killed a Turkish officer with a sword thrust in single combat.

Examples of inveigle in a Sentence
She inveigled him to write the letter.
We inveigled the information from him.
Did You Know?
Inveigle, a word that dates from the 16th century, refers to the act of using clever talk, trickery, or flattery to either persuade somebody to do something or to obtain something through a similar method. What could such a word possibly have to do with blindness? Inveigle came to English from the Anglo-French verb enveegler, which means "to blind or hoodwink someone," from the adjective enveugle, meaning "blind." Enveugle derives from the Medieval Latin ab oculis, a phrase which literally translates to "lacking eyes." You might say that a person who is inveigled to do or give up something is too "blinded" by someone's words to know that he or she is being tricked.
Origin and Etymology of inveigle
Anglo-French enveegler, aveogler, avogler to blind, hoodwink, from avogle, enveugle blind, from Medieval Latin ab oculis, literally, lacking eyes

Highs today will be between 10 and 15 degrees cooler than Sunday, making it to more seasonable levels. We'll see partial sunshine today as well with a few clouds around as a low pushes by well of off the coast. By Tuesday, highs will only be able to warm into the 20s with partly sunny skies. Wednesday we'll start with mostly cloudy skies then see some light snow developing in the evening as a low pressure system moves into the area. This does not look like a major snow event, but it does looks like most locations could see anywhere from a coating to three inches overnight. It's still early, but of course, we'll keep you updated. It'll stay cold for Thursday with highs only in the teens and low 20s. Things look sunny for Friday as a high pressure system takes control of the weather in the Northeast.
Today: Highs 26°- 34° with variably cloudy skies and the chance for a few afternoon snow flurries.
Tuesday: Highs 21°-27° with partly sunny skies.
Wednesday: Highs 23°-30° with mostly cloudy skies in the morning. We'll also have increasing clouds with light snow or snow showers developing by evening.
Thursday: Highs 15°- 23° with partly cloudy skies.
Friday: Highs 17° – 26° with sunny skies.

Carolina Biological - Sheep Brains

1 Recommendation
jooxi's recommendation
I said I wouldn't post these anymore, I know, but fellow ThisNext user ion_dog had an idea too good to pass up. These are real, preserved sheep brains. They don't smell and there's no blood or guts or anything. Just brains. Perfect for distracting zombies - just throw one in their direction and they'll be all over it. If you manage to tame a zombie and keep him as a pet, you'll need to order these in the 'pail' option to ensure that your cuddly, cerebellum-devouring snuggly puff doesn't go hungry. Mad Biologist use: Every mad biologist needs buckets full of organs around the house. Keep some in the fridge in Tupperware containers marked 'Leftovers'.

Who will topple the Champ?
Who can beat Matt Hughes? I think BJ Penn stands a chance but my prediction is he'll get caught in a choke in the 4th round. Matt Hughes is a very dominating force. I'm not sure if any of the welterweights in the UFC can go to the mat with him and come back up in one piece. I say Matt Hughes gets through BJ Penn, but drops the title late this year, early next year to Georges St. Pierre. And does anyone know if Royce Gracie will stay true to his claim of fighting again in the octagon this year? :cheeky4:
GSP forsure
BJ will. He beat him before when no one said he could so maybe he will again. GSP had trouble keeping him down and i don't think hughes can strike as good as GSP so i don't think he will win.
BJ is definitely the better striker but he doesnt completely overmatch Hughes. I can see this fight going 4 or last the entire 5 rounds with just a bunch of ground work and submission attempts, but I'll say Hughes in unanimous decision.
Personally i dont think hughes is lookin forward to fighting bj..he knows he was dominated in their first fight, and that can really weigh on a fighters mind..i think bj will beat hughes, than gsp will fight bj and win again..than matt will fight diego for the title shot at gsp..thats the welterweight break down for 2007 :thumbsup:
I think his loss will only motivate him, Hughes is a smart fighter so he wont get over emotional and try to take him out early, Hughes is one of the best at taking his time so I'll stick with him.
Heres how I see it.
Hughes > Penn
GSP > Hughes
GSP > TUF4 winner
GSP > Sanchez
Then maybe a #1 contender fight with Koscheck/Parisyan perhaps?
Thats my take :D
^ i agreee
GSP willl dominate the division once he gets by Hughes
dont see anybody takin the belt from Hughes anytime soon
Duane Ludwig (Won in Rd.1 at 1:45 by submission)
Rodrigo Gracie (Won by Unanimous Decision)
Ryoto Machida (Loss by Unanimous Decision)
Renzo Gracie (Won by Unanimous Decision)
Georges St. Pierre (Loss by Split Decision)
Renato Verissimo (Won by Unanimous Decision)
Georges St. Pierre (Won in Rd.1 at 4:59 by submission)
Frank Trigg (Won in Rd.1 at 4:05 by submission)
Joe Riggs (Won in Rd.1 at 3:28 by submission)
Royce Gracie (Won in Rd.1 at 4:39 by TKO)
Now not to take anything away from Matt, he did dominate those opponents (except for Verissimo for some reason), but the opponents BJ faced were all better than everyone on Matt's list except GSP of course, and maybe Royce. Even though BJ has a couple losses, he has nothing to be ashamed of and I guarantee he is not sweating it at all. He put up great fights against both Machida and GSP and Machida is a LHW!
You're right that Matt has a good chance to win this but Matt has NOT faced tougher opponents than BJ. Other than Sean Sherk, the only tougher opponent that Matt has faced in his career that BJ has not faced, is B.J. Penn. :laugh: It's true too think about it. In other words, other than Sherk, the only opponent in Matt's career that is tougher than anyone in BJ's career, is BJ.

It's really hard to say without seeing the code and your filesystem, but
if your really see the Needs::nocont message only, I think the problem
is not that Mathematica does not find the file integExp.m, but that the
context created by BeginPackage is not the one it expects. If it does
not find the file, you should see a Get::noopen message.
So I think most probably you are now missing the Quantum-Subdirectory.
If you want to Needs["integExp`"] to work, you need
BeginPackage["integExp`"] in your file, and I guess it is
BeginPackage["Quantum`integExp`"] now. But I think creating a
subdirectory Quantum and putting integExp.m there is probably the better
way to go, just in case there are any dependencies...

The Seattle Sounders aren't the only ones with smiled on their faces from news of strong season ticket sales, as the Vancouver Whitecaps reported on Saturday that in just three hours of being open to the public, some 4,000 of an available 5,000 had been snapped up by eager fans.
"We're absolutely ecstatic with the response. The energy that [the MLS announcement on Wednesday]
seemed to generate -- I hoped it wasn't just me misreading it," said Whitecaps owner Bob Lenarduzzi of his worry that "the public wasn't feeling what he was feeling," writes The Province's
Marc Weber. "Now we're going up to the big leagues and I think that's resonated with people," added Lenarduzzi of the club's jump from the USL-1 to MLS in 2011.
It also didn't
hurt that Northwest soccer fans saw more than 32,000 fans pack Qwest Field on Thursday and watched Portland be named a fellow expansion team on Friday, two things that were undoubtedly "tugging
harder on the heart strings of Vancouverites who fondly remember the I-5 rivalries from the North American Soccer Leagues days and making for a perfect launch week for the Whitecaps."
