If You Could Change Your Life by Reversing Your Biggest Regrets, Sorrows and Mistakes...Would You?
"We weren't wealthy, we weren't poor -- we just were. We never wanted for anything, except maybe more time together...."
When Eddie was twelve years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. Although his life had gotten harder -- and money tighter -- since his father died and the family bakery closed...Eddie dreamed that "somehow" his mother would find a way to have his dream bike gleaming beside their modest Christmas tree that magical morning.
What he got from her instead was a sweater. ""A stupid, handmade, ugly sweater"" that young Eddie left in a crumpled ball in the corner of his room.
Scarred deeply by the realization that kids don't always get what they want, and too young to understand that he already owned life's most valuable treasures, that Christmas morning was the beginning of Eddie's dark and painful journey on the road to manhood. It will take wrestling with himself, his faith, and his family -- and the guidance of a mysterious neighbor named Russell -- to help Eddie find his path through the storm clouds of life and finally see the real significance of that simple gift his mother had crafted by hand with love in her heart.
Based on a deeply personal true story, "The Christmas Sweater" is a warm and poignant tale of family, faith and forgiveness that offers us a glimpse of our own lives -- while also making us question if we really know what's most important in them.

- Reviewer:
In Beck's debut novel, the conservative radio and TV host (An Inconvenient Book) makes a weak attempt at a holiday classic in the vein of It's a Wonderful Life. Despite his single mother's financial hardships, 12-year-old Eddie is certain this Christmas he will receive his much-desired Huffy bike. To his dismay, what he finds under the tree is "a stupid, handmade, ugly sweater" that his mother carefully modeled after those she can't afford at Sears (one of four places she keeps part-time jobs). Eddie tosses the sweater and insults his mother before the two go visit his grandparents at their farmouse. On the drive home, though, Eddie's exhausted mother falls asleep at the wheel and crashes, dying instantly. Sent to live with his grandparents, an increasingly bitter and angry Eddie lashes out at his accommodating guardians, engages in typical teenage angst and grapples with belief in God. For all his focus on traditional family virtues like respect, love and forgiveness, Beck's lightweight parable cruises on predictability, repetition and sentimentality.

Reflections on the greatest gifts of all
Though he's no stranger to the bestseller list, TV and radio personality Glenn Beck ventures into new territory with his latest book, The Christmas Sweater, a heart-wrenching holiday story drawn from a painful episode in his boyhood.
Beck's two previous books, including the New York Times #1 bestseller, An Inconvenient Book, deal with the political and social issues he explores on his radio talk show and during his two-year prime-time stint on CNN's Headline News. (The conservative host is moving to the Fox News Channel early next year.)
Beck's new book follows the anguished journey of 13-year-old Eddie, who is bitterly disappointed with his mother's handcrafted gift. When his mother is killed in a car accident shortly after Christmas, Eddie is forced to re-evaluate his life and priorities. Though the tale is presented as fiction, Beck, whose mother died when he was 13, acknowledges that the story was drawn directly from his own life. BookPage recently asked the author to reflect on his holiday traditions and plans.
What was the best holiday gift you received as a child?
The best gift I ever got was the sweater my mom made for me shortly before she died. I didn't know it was the best gift at the timein fact I hated it. I wanted something cool like the other kids got. I tossed it in the corner of the room and left it in a crumpled mess. Looking back, I realized that the sweater was all my mom could give and that she worked really hard to make it for me. To me it's a reminder of how much she loved me.
Did you have a favorite holiday book when you were young?
My favorite books as a child were magic books. Yeah, yeahI didn't have a lot of friends. But the worst part is I wasn't even really good at magic either. Aspiring magician with no talent for magicnot a recipe for coolness.
What are your favorite books to give as gifts?
Of course I like to give out the books I have authoredbut aside from those I'm the guy that people dread getting books frombecause I give them the tough stuff. America Alone by Mark Steyn, The Forgotten Man by Amity Schlaes and The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen. Sure, they may take a couple of months to readbut when they are finally done they will have a really firm understanding about what is going on in the worldand how we can avoid repeating the mistakes of our past.
What are you reading now?
At the moment I'm reading Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong. If I ever had another career it would be in teaching (scary to many, I'm sure) because I feel that slowly but surely our nation's history is being carefully edited to fit an agenda. I don't want to let my children grow up getting an education that's left out key parts of our nation's history, so I'm reading as much about history and education as I possibly can.
What books are you planning to give as gifts?
I'll probably buy people books from some of my favorite fiction authorsTed Bell, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Daniel Silva and others like them. I feel many of these authors are taking real news events and intertwining them with fictionand that's the best kind of entertainment. You can learn about what is going on in the world yet be completely entertained at the same time.
What would you like to get from Santa this year?
Actually, I'm very blessedthere's nothing I really need. For me, Christmas is a time to be with family and also volunteering out in the community and helping those who are less fortunate. That's the best gift I could ever getthe feeling that comes when you've helped someone you have never met, that lonely person in need. Nothing compares to helping someone else. No gift could ever feel better. Well, a 100-inch plasma would come pretty close.

Target: South Korean Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forests, and Fisheries
Goal: Thank Ministry for withdrawing plans to kill endangered whales for "scientific" purposes
Whales are massive creatures that have mystified humans for millenia. Ancient stories and fables retell of both peaceful and violent encounters with these giant animals, and many native cultures believe whales possess magical powers.
Sadly, while these creatures captivate our imaginations, they also draw the attention of hunters. In the nineteenth century, many whale species were brought to the brink of extinction due to unrestricted slaughtering by whaling companies. Whale fat was used to make margarine and fuel oil lamp, fetching a very high price in European and American markets. Add ship collisions, pollution, warming oceans, and fishing gear accidents, and whales have become one of the most threatened animals on the planet.
Thankfully, an international ban on commercial whaling in 1986 allowed many species to recover in recent decades. However, there is a loophole in the ban that allows whale hunting if the animal's body will be used for "scientific" research. While this loophole appears innocuous, many governments take advantage of the law's general language. They permit the slaughter of hundreds of Antarctic whales, claiming the hunt is for scientific research. The whale meat obtained in the hunt, however, is illegally sold for human consumption. Unfortunately, little is being done to investigate these suspicions and threatened whales like the Minke, Bryde, and Grey species continue to be killed each year.
Luckily, not all governments are participating in this ruse. South Korea's Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forests, and Fisheries recently decided to forgo its whaling proposal and simply use non-lethal techniques to study whales (skin sampling, tagging, and underwater acoustic surveys, for example.) The Ministry claims that, after careful investigation, it could not support killing whales for scientific or commercial purposes.
This decision is a great victory for whales. South Korea's Ministry understands that killing endangered animals for either science experiments or human consumption is morally wrong. These animals must be protected to save them from disappearing forever. With any luck, other countries will soon follow South Korea's lead and stop the terrible slaughter of some of the world's most majestic creatures.
Thank the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forests, and Fisheries for its recent decision.
Dear Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forests, and Fisheries,
Thank you very much for withdrawing your proposal to begin killing Antarctic whales for scientific research. Your decision protects hundreds of creatures from unnecessary deaths each year, and you should be highly commended.
As you know, whales are very endangered. In the nineteenth century, many species were hunted to the brink of extinction. Their bodies were used to make margarine and fuel oil lamps, fetching a very high price in European and American markets.
While commercial whaling is now banned, countries like Japan, Norway, and Iceland continue to hunt the animals under the guise of scientific research. There is little evidence, however, that the whales killed are actually used for experiments. Many activists believe the hunt is used to illegally obtain and then sell whale meat to consumers around the world.
Thankfully, you at the Ministry will not participate in this ruse. By choosing to study whales in a non-lethal manner, you are announcing to the world that killing these animals is wrong. They are beautiful, majestic creatures that should to be protected, not slaughtered and eaten. With any luck, your decision will inspire other countries to also place a ban on whale hunting, and these animals will be a little bit safer.
Again, thank you very much for withdrawing your whaling proposal.

Prince Albert of Monaco is suing for libel over suggestions that he forcibly prevented his fiancée from leaving the country before their wedding after rumours emerged that he had fathered a third illegitimate child.
The prince has issued legal proceedings over a report that he ordered police at Nice airport to confiscate Charlene Wittstock's passport as she apparently attempted to fly to her native South Africa on a one-way ticket.
The couple claim the piece in the Sunday Times, "The Full Filthy Monte — behind a fairytale wedding in Monaco lies rumours of murky money and allegations of abuse of power and a reluctant bride," caused them considerable hurt and damaged their reputations.
They are claiming damages and aggravated damages for libel of more than £300,000, and are also seeking an injunction.
The writ, lodged in the High Court, also complains about suggestions that Wittstock, a former Olympic swimmer, "had agreed to participate in a sham wedding, not because he loved her, but because he had paid her so much money to go through with the pretence of an extravagant wedding despite having discovered he had fathered an illegitimate child during their relationship".
In the High Court writ, the couple claim that the wording of the article could be understood to mean that the Prince "was guilty… of being complicit in serious criminality, deliberately turning a blind eye to widescale financial corruption throughout Monaco, as well as severe police brutality and abuse of power".
The writ also claims that the paper implied the prince "was deliberately cultivating links with well-known individuals involved in organised crime". Times Newspapers and the couple's London lawyers Atkins Thomson could not be reached for comment last night.
Prince Albert, 54, who has an estimated fortune of £1 billion, and Princess Wittstock, 34, were married on July 1 last year in front of guests who included celebrities and members of other European royal families.
Their £50 million wedding was the first of a reigning Monaco prince since Albert's father Prince Rainier married Grace Kelly in 1956.
Among the guests were Naomi Campbell and Giorgio Armani, who designed the bride's wedding dress.

Won't stop pooing in her crate!
Hi everyone.
Brodie is doing well, peeing outside (no accidents for ages), doesn't bite or nip, behaves, has been trained very easily. But...and it's a big but, she won't stop pooing in her crate. I have tried everything: making the crate smaller, taking out the puppy pad, giving her a plastic bed within her crate, changing her feedings times...and nothing has worked. I am at the end of my tether and quite honestly I don't think I can face much more of cleaning her crate. She doesn't just poo and leave it alone - she smears it everywhere: round her bed, in her water bowl, over all the toys, then gets it on her paws and smears it over the wires cage walls.
If it's a good day she does it once, when I get home from work I have to clean. On a bad day it's morning after night and when I get home.
I am deluded in thinking this will change and this is just an inevitability of me being out during the day?
Hubby's about 1 week away from giving her up because I am so down about it. And I love having her, I just can't take much more crate poos.

Sounds like she is very bored and the "decorating" is entertaining...or she is acting out of frustration. Is it possible to NOT crate her but pen her in an area like a garage or yard for the day so she can have more space?
My dog gets bored with the many toys she has but the bones like antlers and cooked marrow bones can keep her busy chewing for a long time. If you put one of those molded plastic kiddie pools filled with her things she can lie down and play and sleep in it in the penned area...that's what my dog does during the day. I put old sheets and towels in it to make it cozy.
Does she poop in the morning before you crate her for the day? My dog sleeps the nite in the crate and wakes about 6am and goes out and pees and poops right away. Maybe feed her in the evening so she poops early in the morning.
I don't know but maybe even change the food...?
Good luck

She has lots of toys, kongs frozen with peanut butter, rawhide bones etc so I don't think it is that.
If I pen her, is she not more likely to poo as she'll have room to do it and move away?
She eats Eukanuba which is expensive dry food and it does her well as she has had diarrohea with other stuff. It says to give her 125-150g a day, so I feed her half in the morning at 6 before I take her for a walk, and she poos, then half at 4pm when I am home, before she goes for another walk - and she poos providing she hasn't already done so in her crate. Would you recommend feeding her once a day? How often/much do you feed your beagles? Brodie is 5 months old now.

Hi, Maisy is now 16 weeks. When I fist got her I crated her and for the first week she did exactly the same evry night when I put her in the crate, Each morning I would get up clean her, the crate and everything in it., It took a good couple of hours as the mess was in all the wires of the crate. It got me really down as evryone had said that a dog would not poo in their crate so I thought it was something I was doing wrong. After a week I couldnt take it any more and moved her bed to the kitchen and got rid of the crate. Now I had one puppy pad at the opposit end of the kitchen. I know people will say this was wrong as it doesnt promote toilet training but ever since that night I have not woken up to a poo covered puppy! she went on her pad, left it alone and got back into bed and slept. she also started sleeping through rather than barking and howling during the night. I leave some music on for her and a dim light and am so glad I did this. I know people will tell me that it was the wrong thing to do and if I had kept with the crate she would have eventually settled down but you have to do what is right for you. Obviously be carefull if you have elctrics and things in the kitchen as you dont want her chewing through them!

I think that during the night, taking her out of the crate would be fine, but during the day, she needs to be crated because I am gone for so long and she would wreck the kitchen!
I don't think she bothers about being in her crate, there is no separation anxiety. She goes in very happily, doesn't howl and doesn't howl and bark through the night, so I don't think the crate bothers her.

Hi Hazel
I threw out the food question just to have something for you to think about. However my dog is a total confusion in the food/eating department. As an example she did not eat for a 1 1/2 days this week...she smells and snubs the food...that being said I have tried everything, canned food, human food, kibble and multiple brands for the last 8 months. Sometimes she eats twice a day or sometimes once a day. I have thrown away more food then she eats. She is not at all a chow hound like some describe. Some times when she eats with gusto I think..wow I've found the right recipe...then next time she leaves it..
Despite the above she is healthy and active.

That is odd Cassie! Brodie will eat anything, but I've found that she is prone to diaorrhea with a lot of things so I'll stick to Eukanuba.
Last night and today, I took her puppy pads away and made the bottom of her crate her entire bed with a blanket we use in the kitchen, so that it smelled of us. She didn't poo last night and she didn't poo today.* It may well be a fluke but it made me really happy. Tomorrow she'll probably poo all over the place!
* In her crate I mean! She pooed outside in the morning and afternoon.

I know some will probably disagree with me, but when my dog was doing this, I finally gave up on the crate. Again, I'm sure some will disagree with me, but I felt that my dog hated the crate and saw that eliminating in the crate resulted in getting out of it so that it could be cleaned. She would have a poo in her crate immediately after going outside, so it wasn't like she didn't have the opportunity. My dog also had severe separation anxiety and the crate seemed to make it worse.
Now when we leave her, we just leave her loose in the house. I know that probably wouldn't work for everyone, but she honestly doesn't hurt anything and has never had an accident while we were gone. I think the crate was just stressing her out.
(I'd like to add that my dog was a 2-3 year old rescue dog when I got her, not a puppy, and she had a lot of issues about being left alone, etc.)

So, I bought my first Range Rover, an 07 RRS S/C with about 80k on it. Turns out the 75k service was never fully performed, just the oil changed. I got a quote of $600 from both the local LR dealer and an indy shop...surprised they were the same.
After asking questions and seeing a list of services, the LR dealer did not include the following:
- Remove debris from Dynamic Response valve block and chassis
- Replace Dynamic Response valve block filter
The Indy shop said the following is all they can do to the DR: "The 75K service includes cleaning away any visible debris between the dynamic response valve block and chassis. It does not include any servicing of the Dynamic Response system, such as bleeding the system, etc. You would need to take it to the dealer for that if you are having issues"
I'm going to perform the 75k service myself, with the exception of the DR work, so 2 questions:
- Does "remove debris" mean cleaning up the actuating rods on the outside of the system?
- Does DR filter replacement involve going into the actual system, requiring bleeding? (I would assume so...)

72Ms/S = 7Mhz Single Shot Resolution. (Roughly 90% of what a DSO is used for)
Just something to keep in mind if you plan on using this to troubleshoot high speed uC projects or any other 25Mhz+ signaling application.
Other than its low(ish) sample rate, its actually a very neat looking scope and would free up a huge amount of space on my desk. When they can get the SSR bandwidth over 20Mhz then I can see this becoming THE entry level scope to have.
No public wish lists :(

Happy July 4 or 5th, or whenever you read this.
I started my day with a 12 mile run. 12 miles in honor of the 12 days of Christmas in July. Or something I didn't just make up.
Then, the dogs put on their Fourth of July costumes…
and I busted out my new mermaid bathing suit to get wet.
I ordered this online recently after seeing it on a Facebook page. It was kinda random and I love it.
Pool time!
Everyone was joking this was my 'modesty suit'. Next year I'm going for the full body cover up. You're welcome.
Obligatory mermaid impression.
A little mermaid humor.
And other Fourth of July necessities.
Hope you enjoyed your day!
Question: What did you do today?
More importantly, what did you eat?

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Tampa Bay Rays were already a powerful nemesis to the Red Sox in the American League East, but the franchise that could once be penciled in for last place in the division has made a few moves this winter to ensure that they'll be competing for many more years.
In a blockbuster driven by the Kansas City Royals' need to become more competitive, the Tampa Bay Rays parted ways with starting pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis in order to acquire Wil Myers, one of the best outfield prospects in the entire game.
The Royals organization may be on the brink of a long awaited turnaround, as finishing at 72-90 last year in what was largely viewed as a disappointment. KC entered 2012 with a promising lineup including Eric Hosmer, who struggled mightily with a .232/.304/.359 line, 14 home runs, and 60 RBI.
Yet KC did have a solid lineup despite Hosmer's lack of production. Despite finishing 12th in runs scored, the Royals finished with the fourth best batting average amongst AL clubs. Their lineup has enough depth to stand up to any pitcher in the league, but their weakness has always been pitching.
With Shields in tow, along with the signing of Jeremy Guthrie and a trade for Ervin Santana, Kansas City has suddenly assembled a good rotation that should enable them to compete for a wild card spot in 2013. The cost of losing Myers is worth a shot at winning now, and the Rays capitalized on that notion.
The Rays lost B.J. Upton to free agency earlier this offseason, but the addition of Myers makes it hard to remember that. Myers has the promise of a top big league outfielder, and a strong spring could put him in Tampa Bay's lineup come Opening Day.
At the cost of two starters, the Rays now have Myers for the foreseeable future and Evan Longoria, who just signed a monster extension through 2022. Meanwhile their rotation isn't downgraded too much, as their surplus of starting pitching becomes a big advantage. While no one can be expected to fill the shoes of Shields, the Rays will hope that their young pitchers take the next step forward in 2013.
That group includes Jeremy Hellickson, who threw 177.0 innings last year while posting a great 3.10 ERA. The 2011 AL Rookie of the Year is now viewed as the natural number two starter for Tampa Bay. The rest of the rotation is filled by Matt Moore, Alex Cobb, and Jeff Niemann, each of whom are candidates for breakout years.
Indeed the Rays are a better team for the long run after the trade, but the deal is worthwhile for the Royals as they shoot for a postseason appearance. As recently as 2007, both clubs were last place teams. Now there's a chance they'll be squaring off in October.

Peppa Pig's conquest of the world took another step forward today as the company behind the British kids' cartoon character reached a deal to launch the brand in Russia.
Entertainment One is airing the cartoon on Russian children's TV channel Karusel and a range of Peppa toys and magazines will debut later this spring. "We see huge potential in Russia," said Darren Throop, chief executive of EOne. The London-listed TV and film distribution and licensing company is also set to launch Peppa merchandise in Italy, Benelux, Canada and the Nordics this year.
Peppa revenues have surged in the US, after the show won a prime 6pm timeslot on the Nick Jr channel, and sales of Peppa toys were 25% above forecast at Toys R Us in America last Christmas. Peppa is already the top-selling UK pre-school kids brand.

Looks like scientists don't think we would survive.Would the Human Race Survive a Zombie Attack? Scientists Say it's Unlikely : TreeHuggerIn order to give humans a better shot, the study, which was completed by researchers at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University, focused on the classic depiction of zombies: ie, slow moving and stupid, as opposed to modern variants that are fast, cunning, and more dangerous. Unfortunately, the scenario still didn't bode so well for us un-undead folks.
I think with a little lead osmosis treatment for our undead friends, our odds would go up.

Heck! We beat them Triffids by spraying salt water on 'em, if memory serves. How do we know that you can't dezombie a zombie with chicken soup. When I wuz a kid it cured everything else.
From the article cited in the OP:
"But modeling a so-called "zombie plague" scenario has distinct real world benefits. Such a plague in many ways mimics a powerful infectious disease--the kind of which is spreading faster due to climate change. "
Great. Add one more consequence to runaway global warming: zombie attacks. Clearly the global warming zealots need to go back to the drawing board.
If zombies do attack, all you reloaders out there have a huge advantage:

I don't know. I think the "rage virus" zombies would be a much bigger problem than the slow George Romero ones. I am fortunate enough to live in a gated community that has either a wall or fence all the way around. The "rage virus" ones would just climb over.

I have always been convinced that a population of predators who consume their prey/would-be progeny would be unlikely to reproduce in massive numbers. Only people who were bitten and managed to escape would become new zombies; the rest would presumably be ripped apart and eaten, thus not creating many more new undead.
Of course, that wouldn't make for a very good movie...
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.

The end of 2011 marked a milestone for English designer Jon Hicks, best known for the Firefox and MailChimp logo. He announced the release of 'The Icon Handbook', a practical guide that has the makings of becoming the manual for the modern icon designer.
As mobile devices continue to smash web use records everywhere, icons are becoming an increasingly important way of communicating on the web. But, developing an image that conveys context and represents action isn't easy.
'The Icon Handbook' uncovers how to construct the right tone and make an icon work wherever it's placed. Hicks begins with an interesting history and then guides readers through the icon design workflow, beginning with favicons and working up to application icons.
A practical guide for beginners, 'The Icon Handbook' is also great resource for experienced icon designers. Bold, full-color pages, a beautiful layout, and intriguing commentary make it a must-have for any creative professional.
Heck, I say it makes a great coffee table book.

Diane Von Furstenberg 3/4 length sleeveless dress on YOOX
2 Recommendations
blakeycb's recommendation
okay okay, i am sure you are looking at this and being like "but blake, you have THE EXACT same dress!"..... actually, i just got this dress at the Neiman Marcus Last Call Center for $118 bucks last month... don't hate me because i am a super shopper... even though it totally resembles my giraffe one, its "generic" or "non-specific" animal print is actually really cute - it is festive and trendy without causing the response i fear so much (eh, there she is wearing that leopard print dress... again.).... and it is sleeveless, which though that limits the places i can wear it, it is a lot more comfy in warmer climates....

Julio Diaz: 'Enough is enough!'
Story by Felipe Leon
Surprisingly, two time lightweight champion Julio "Kidd" Diaz (36-4, 26 KOs) is amused with the recent comments his next opponent Joel Casamayor made recently, where the two-time divisional champion stated in not-so-nice terms that if he didn't knock out Diaz, he was going to inflict great bodily harm.
"I think its funny. I have been a lightweight for thirteen years and he just got knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez, a featherweight," Diaz states with a chuckle . . . Click here for more

Edited Track Notes
Robert LaPenta's Cool Coal Man, a major contender for the May 3 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), prepped for a planned run in the April 12 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) at Keeneland with a sharp half-mile work at Churchill Downs April 3 (VIDEO, courtesy of Keeneland).
The son of 2003 Horse of the Year Mineshaft worked in company with Zito-trained stablemate Chris Got Even and covered four furlongs over a fast track in :47.40. The winner of Gulfstream Park's Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) was ridden in the work by Megan Smillie and finished just in front of Chris Got Even, who was timed in :47.60 with assistant trainer Heather Stark up. The move by Cool Coal Man ranked as the fourth-fastest of 25 at the distance.
Zito was in New York to saddle LaPenta's reigning 2-year-old champion War Pass in Saturday's Wood Memorial Stakes (gr. I) at Aqueduct, but said by telephone that he was happy with the work that he had moved up by a couple of days because of a forecast for heavy rain in Louisville. There were only a few raindrops as Cool Coal Man worked over a dry surface shortly after the break for track maintenance. The work was the final major training move for Cool Coal Man before mile-and-an-eighth Toyota Blue Grass.
"This is actually how he did it before the Fountain of Youth," Zito said. "He's not a robust colt, but he's a really flashy little guy. I always talk about letting them run through the lane a little bit (before a race) – kind of like a 'blowout' the old fashioned way. We're still traditionalists, right?"
Zito would prefer to prep Cool Coal Man on traditional dirt rather the Polytrack surface he'll compete over next week at Keeneland, but the two-time Kentucky Derby-winning trainer said he was encouraged by the success enjoyed last year by James Tafel's Street Sense , who was upset by Dominican in the Toyota Blue Grass before coming back to win the Kentucky Derby. He decided to give Cool Coal Man an extra week to run at Keeneland rather than come back in last week's Florida Derby at Gulfstream.
"I really wanted a fresh horse," said Zito. "He's two-for-two this year and he certainly looks good, so I just wanted some kind of chance for this horse in the Derby and I hope we get it. I would prefer to have run on a conventional track like Churchill Downs, but the Blue Grass is a good race and I've been lucky in it a lot of times, too. And I saw what Street Sense did last year, and if he could run that kind of race I'll take it and then maybe we'll get lucky in the big one."
Cool Coal Man has a career record of 4-1-0 in seven races with earnings of $307,531.

Midas PRO2C Digital Console (Touring Package)
The MIDAS PRO2C may be the smallest and least expensive MIDAS digital consoles so far; however, they represent a quantum leap forward in both technology and in concept for the art of audio mixing.
Product Description for the Midas PRO2C Digital Console (Touring Package)
Think of an audio mixing system which offers unprecedented levels of control integration in terms of speed and ease of workflow. Think of an audio mixing system which has the most intuitive, operator-driven user-interface yet imagined, yet costs no more than an ordinary console. Think of an audio mixing system which has all of this, and sounds like a MIDAS. Think of the MIDAS PRO2 - Radical thinking – It's simple!
PRO2C is essentially the same mixer, the only difference being the physical size of the user interface. The PRO2C features all of the facilities of its larger sibling, yet this 64 channel mixer is no larger than many 24 channel analogue consoles.
This software can be downloaded from the software ftp site, http://mkt.ftpstream.com/
We recommend that ALL PRO1 PRO2 and PRO2C, consoles are upgraded to this software version as soon as possible.
- 156 inputs x 166 outputs (max capacity) point-to-point routing anywhere within the Network
- 56 mic/line inputs with Midas mic preamps
- 64 simultaneous input processing channels
- 32 analog output (including 2 stereo local monitor outputs)
- 3 AES3 output & 2 AES3 inputs
- 27 sample-synchronous, phase-coherent mix buses

- Up to 28 Klark Teknik DN370 31-band Graphic EQ's

Beer Money to Board Meetings at PSFK Conference New York 2008
Topline transcription:
RICKY: I'm the editor in chief of collegehumor.com. Going to use the colleghumor story to show how we built the world's biggest comedy website. Will finish up on how I think traditional and new media will collide. This is the first iteration of the site. Best friend and I started it in January 2000. Used to DJ bar mitzvahs, parties. We were DJ's at Xmas party, and did this. Originally it was for friends to post videos, then people on our hall, then respective schools. By the end of the semester, but AIM and IM, it had become the place for college students to put their stuff.
Here's a little sizzle reel (SHOWS REEL). Base layer comes from the user. CollegeHumor was built on user generated content. This guy built 3 days building a transformer costume that actually transformed. The age of our staff average is 24, and we skew even younger with our interns. We're all people that grew up on the internet, understand what it wants and how it responds. Piers talked about Muckscape – launched by one of our developers. A quote I love from Fred Wilson, Facebook is unlike anything we've seen to date, first mega company built by people who had not yet had sex. They know the market better than anyone else. How do we stay relevant as we get older? I've been asking since I graduated the answer comes in the form of our farm system. We'll take a freshman, get out staff to work with them. Intern when they're a junior and work with us when they're a senior. Bear it in mind as we expand to TV, film, and books. Want to show how we're different from Comedy Central. We're modeling on today's young person. It all has to come back to our online center, that's what's in the kid's face eerie day. When a kid comes home, the first thing he does is go straight on his computer, straight to the internet. You have to base your company around where the kids are centered. We know what applications our kids are using and we've leveraged those applications. Don't try to build your own. Harness what's already out there. Like a business things of accredit card company. Shoe company accepts Visa and MC, and concentrate on shoes. Talking to a girl who was part of a startup, it has the best of Flicker and MySpace – I wanted to say, get out. No one wants to join 10 social networks. You want to take what you have and leverage that. We use Facebook's API and out our 7million users, many come through that. Our editorial voice and personality, we have a lot. That's ok to pull back the curtain a little bit. Not the mark of an amateur stop like people thought. Even though a weekly site is more official, and Perez Hilton's site does that. I encourage people to take pictures around the office and post them on the site. We create our own stars.
The downside is the number of fans who apply to be interns. Here's a product of that mentality. It's called prank war, writers go back and forth and play pranks on each other. (SHOWS VIDEO.) Where are we headed? Original content. So far it's been working really well. We have the highest rate of return for original content. Why can't others replicate it? We have a shit strategy. We shoot for 9's and 10's – anything less, they're not gonna get seen at all. No one goes to a 30-second dig.com to find the most popular page of the day. We know what works. Videos on two different minutes do well, the hook should come in the first 20 seconds. Certain sweet spots that work well for people to pass it along. One is topical humor. This time last year there was an agency that did gorilla advertising, put up blinking lights all over the city, they thought they were under terrorist attack. We made this video, cost $300, and we turned it around in 36 hours. (SHOWS VIDEO.) Same situation – in the writers room, talking about how many of these video games theaters were turning into high octane blockbuster hits – what's gonna happen when they hit the bottom of the barrel. They're gonna do Minesweeper, the movie (SHOWS VIDEO).
These are really fun to make and put online. But how do we monetize this. In our dorm rooms, we created bustedkeys, and we became our own product. Now it's a separate entity and continues to do really well. After that we met advertisers and started to work with brands. We do brands a lot differently. We're pro-user, that's why they' stuck with us over the years, even with YouTube and other young male video sites. I mean everything we do is transparent. If DreamWorks gives us DVD's to give away, we'll say, hey, DreamWorks gave us these DVD's. It's important with our media saturated generation. They can see through. We only do custom things on the site that we wouldn't have done already with the sponsor. If you force something unnatural on a website, they'll ignore it. I was talking to a marketing exec last summer about these widgets she's making for a kid's website. I was thinking who would install this thing that's basically an ad? I asked how many would put it on their pages, she said, none, but the client is really happy. Can't placate them anymore because they read it in the NYT last Sunday. We don't believe there's a benefit to have the ad displayed in an annoying way. 85% flee at the site of preroll video.
One thing advertisers forget when selling to the couch potato is the couch. Viewing on the computer is an active activity, mouse in hand; you want to go on to the next thing. These are page skins, site takeovers that blend in without interrupting the experience. Kids multitask. You don't need their undivided attention. They can watch a video while they see an ad in the background. The idea of a captive eyeball is bullshit now. You're got to be in context with what's being consumed while it's being consumed. Editorial integration, allowing them to piggyback on our strong editorial voice. Used to be the value ad on top of the media buy. Now it's the opposite. As a result, we have to make our integration scalable. This is my favorite, America's hottest college girl.
Where is the internet content world headed? You'd be led to believe that traditional entertainment is dissolving. That's not the case. Our goal is to get off the web and into TV and film. When will the internet be the end game for content creators? When will they collide? Depends on 2 key factors. The migration of advertising budgets, and big talent. Most haven't figured out how to monetize video, and big talent isn't going to get paid until they figure it out. The ad budgets aren't there yet. Won't be for a few more years but it'll happen eventually, and recession won't speed it up. When they do come, big stars will join high school kids with video cameras, and it will be easier to get their material seen. Access to national stage is important but shouldn't overshadow the brand. Then the internet will not only be a place to create stars, but a place to retain them. Websites without brand and talent will find it hard to keep up with those who have it. Because of the vast information generated on line – TV and film will be complimentary to them, not replaced by it. Everything is going to convert, just as kids now can't tell the difference between cable and network TV. When that happens we expect CollegeHumor to be a brand they recognize one way or the other.

COBB AP 93 Stage 2 tune
Catless TBE
AEM short intake (out of the box tune)
Car sat for a week and went to start it and it fired up and idled pretty normal and after about a minute or 2 it started surging from about 500 rpm-1000. Car drives fine if its under boost. If I give it gas and get it into mid boost it just feels like I'm pulling a dump truck behind me.
Attempted problem solving:
Did the ol carb cleaner test to see if there were any vacuum leaks around couplings, ends of hoses, etc. Probably even over did it but no changes in idle. Cleaned MAF which was not dirty at all. Unpluged MAF, car died. Not showing any codes either. Cleaned the IACV and replaced the gasket which looked fine anyways. No dice. Tried swapping out the IACV for a known working one. Again no worky. Unplugged IACV, idle increased to about 1500 and stayed steady. Fresh tank of 93 oct gas. Installed a Hallman Boost controller last night, since my pro tuner prefers tuning with that and it didn't help either (didn't expect it to). Any other suggestions?

LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. – Fresh off of a weekend sweep at Canisius and Niagara, the Marist volleyball team continues its six-match road trip with a Thursday night matchup at top-ranked Siena. The Saints come into the match with a perfect 5-0 record in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play and are 6-9 overall.
Last Time Out…
The Red Foxes (9-5, 3-1 MAAC) extended their winning streak to three matches, all 3-0 sweeps with a pair of wins on the annual Buffalo trip at Canisius (25-22, 25-18, 25-23) and Niagara (25-18, 25-13, 25-15).
Against Canisius, Courtney Shaw (Centennial, Colo.) hit a match-high 14 kills, while not committing a single attacking error for .667 hitting percentage while also adding four blocks. Mackenzie Stephens (Holland, Mich.) was also in double figures with 11 kills, hitting at a .360 clip for the match, while making a match-high six blocks. Grace Hill (Kalamazoo, Mich.) and Kelsey Lahey (Bowling Green, Ohio) each added six kills. Audra Brady (Allentown, Pa.) had 37 assists while Brooke Zywick (Garden City, Mich.) led all players with 17 digs and Gena Russo (Rensselaer, N.Y.) also had 10 digs. As a team, Marist hit an impressive .311 and had six service aces, led by three from freshman Lexi Millington (Manhattan Beach, Calif.).
The numbers were even more impressive versus Niagara on Sunday as Stephens led all players with 15 kills, registering five in each set, while not committing any attacking errors for a .714 hitting percentage. Lahey was also in double figures with 10 kills while Shaw finished with nine. Brady had 40 assists while also adding six digs. Becca Jones (Arlington, Va.) led the Red Foxes with 11 digs while also adding a team-high three service aces. Millington finished with nine digs and Zywick added eight.
Marist in the MAAC…
The Red Foxes are amongst the leaders in the MAAC in several team statistical categories, including leading the conference in kills per set (13.46) and assists per set (12.78). Marist is also second in team hitting percentage (.236) and opponent hitting percentage (.166).
Individually, several Red Foxes are also atop multiple statistical categories. Stephens, who saw her hitting percentage jump 28 points after last weekend's performances, sits second in the MAAC with a .334 hitting percentage. Shaw (.291) and Marisa Gilbert (Pflugerville, Texas) (.224) are both also in the top ten, sitting fourth and tenth, respectively.
Stephens and Grace Hill (Kalamazoo, Mich.) rank second and third in the conference with averages of 3.44 and 2.82 kills per set, respectively.
Millington leads the MAAC with a .56 aces per set average, which also puts her ninth nationally. Brady is tops in the conference in assists with 11.22 per set, ranking 23rd overall in the country. Zywick leads the conference with 4.96 digs per set, which is also good for 32nd in all of Division I.
Scouting Siena…
After a 1-9 record following non-conference play, the Saints have won their first five matches in the MAAC, taking sole possession of first place. They are led offensively by Taylor Akana, who has 146 kills for a 2.81 kills per set average. Meghann Wright (121 kills) and Rachel Stoklosa (106) are also top offensive threats for the Saints. Haley Howell is Siena's primary setter, recording 446 assists on the season, and has been named MAAC Rookie of the Week three times already. Jacqueline Skeen leads the team in blocking with 52 on the season while Bobbi Lin Kalama leads Siena's defense with 158 digs and Akana also has 126.

Joan Rivers sparked the Twitter ire of Rihanna last Friday, when the "Fashion Police" host Tweeted her reaction to the pop star's recent Oprah Winfrey interview, where she shared her feelings about ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
"Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it's MY turn to slap her," Joan Tweeted.

Rihanna didn't mention Joan's Twitter handle, but she appeared to respond, writing, "CONTROL YOUR SPEECH," linking to a photo of a book explaining a Bible passage about offending speech.
But, she didn't stop there.

The singer also took aim at Joan's age, Tweeting, "wow u really do get slow when you're old huh," a comment she later deleted.
Rihanna did keep up a Tweet targeting Joan's bladder.
"Slap on some diapers," she wrote.

"Slo No Mo. Go For It!"
Turbo (or in this case Theo) has lived a life that has felt, well… incomplete. He's not like the other snails in the garden he works in. Instead of being content with an average life, he dreams of life in the fast-lane… literally! When he's not in the garden, he's in front of the TV watching his favorite racers from the Indy 500 and wishing for his life to have purpose (and speed) as well.
His brother has always been the realist in the family. Every time Turbo mentions life as a racer, his brother criticizes and crushes his hopes, telling him it will never be possible for a snail to race and to wake up from this fantasy. Dejected, Turbo slithers his way to the top of a highway sign, where he takes a fall onto a car, gets sucked inside, and soaked in nitrous oxide.
When he wakes up, Turbo realizes he has amazing speed, his lifelong dream realized and is recognized by a local Taco owner, Tito, and his brother Angelo. Tito has a plan…to place Turbo in the Indy 500 and put his business and his friends' back on the map. Turbo is a story about never giving up on your dream, even in the face of the impossible odds.
When one first hears the premise for Turbo, you're thinking, "A snail dreaming to be a race car driver? How desperate are filmmakers for ideas?" I should know, because I too thought this when I saw the previews. It is a silly concept, with an age old message that rings through the movie about perseverance. BUT… the movie is not so silly in how this message is presented. The result? A movie that comfortably tells the audience "Looks are deceiving."
First off, what makes this film great is it's story. It's really simple, a snail wants to become a racer. You may also walk in feeling like you might know how it ends, too. But what makes this movie memorable are the small steps it takes (even in only an hour and half) to reach the climactic finish. The movie is set in such a way that the old, "root for the underdog" theme is not as cliché as previous movies have made it. Add excellent, and sometimes hilarious, performances from Ryan Reynolds and Paul Giamatti and the entire snail crew, and you have a safe, family-friendly film full of good heart that never gets old to watch.
Before I go into content, I have to commend the animators behind "Turbo." Dreamworks certainly has earned its reputation in animation among the greats like Pixar. It doesn't surprise me that their good reputation in animation lives on in "Turbo," especially in scenes where the crew travels to Indianapolis on the highway, the Indianapolis Speedway and even the fine detail of the cars in the race. Bravo, Dreamworks! Bravo.
In today's world, you are not going to find many films rated PG where you don't have to worry about questionable items rearing their ugly heads in children's movies. There are some things to mention, minor things, to look for in "Turbo."
Violence: Moderate. There are a few scenes where crows grab snails as food, as a means of humor. Turbo is sucked into a car, jolted around quite a bit, and finally doused in nitrous oxide and spat back out. There is also a scene where one of the snails controls a crow, smacking it against a windshield and finally gets hit by a bus. Lastly, during the race, there is a huge car pileup on the track, and we watch as the cars flip and are demolished.
Languate: Mild. There are a couple inappropriate, but brief songs, that come out of Turbo's mouth after he recovers from being sucked into the car. One snail says, "nice curves," and other snails, during a snail race, make mention to other snails of being "slaughtered" and "dead meat" (not threateningly, only in a matter of competition behavior).
There is no sex or nudity or any sexual themes in "Turbo."
Going back to the theme of the movie, at the beginning, Turbo's brother makes an interesting statement (I'm paraphrasing), "We all have our limits… the sooner you accept this and realize our pitiful existence, the happier you'll be." I want to point out that in God's eyes we have purpose. We are called to greater things than we can imagine. To others, they may look unrealistic, but to us and to God they become real. We are called to serve God in the impossible and remember the famous passage, "All things are possible through Christ who gives us strength." This is certainly true.
I strongly recommend "Turbo" to Christians of all ages. Children are the primary target for this film, but even some adults may find this heart-warming, family-friend film worth viewing with their kids, or even without the kids! My only regret is that I didn't take a chance with "Turbo" earlier this summer. But now that I have, I couldn't help but be "fast" to recommend Dreamworks' commendable installation.
Violence: Moderate / Profanity: Minor / Sex/Nudity: None
See list of Relevant Issues—questions-and-answers.
…TURBO has loads of hi-octane fun for all ages, with a positive redemptive message about being your brother's keeper. …
—Ted Baehr, Movieguide
…This endearing underdog tale is closer in spirit to Pixar's "Ratatouille" than anything DreamWorks has made to date…
—Peter Debruge, Variety
…It's all very rousing in the usual way, but "Turbo" leaves a slightly sour aftertaste, and not only because of its own brave choice of mediocrity over excellence. …

…It's all very rousing in the usual way, but "Turbo" leaves a slightly sour aftertaste, and not only because of its own brave choice of mediocrity over excellence. …

—Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
…If Pixar is the gold standard in animation, "Turbo," from DreamWorks, rates as a solid silver. The animation is vibrant and genuinely exciting at times, particularly when viewers get a ground-level view of the races, and its hero is spirited and likable. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it works as a familiar story well told. …
—Paul Doro, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
…this is quite simply a cute and—for all its quest for speed—cautious pic best enjoyed with little ones who readily embrace absurdity and who cheer for a checkered-flag happy ending for their brand-new squiggly pals. …

…"Turbo" lacks extra throttle of better family films… when it comes to animated movies of 2013, "Turbo" is running a distant third.

Have the Excellent Remedy for Construction Sequencing Via 4D BIM
BIM services are attaining a great deal of level of popularity among the many architects, engineers, structure firms and contractors. Additionally the house builders, developers along with the design companies are adopting BIM know-how to your excellent extent. The core BIM expertise features modeling, visualization, web-site logistics, clash coordination, amount take-off, shop drawings and electronic fabrication. Apart from, a lot of go with spool drawings, model conversion from laser scanning, amenities management, building documentation and much more stuff. Qualified BIM engineers work on numerous computer software platforms like Revit, Bentley, AutoCAD, Ecotect Investigation, NavisWorks, Civil 3D, Pro/Engineer, Tekla Construction, SolidWorks, Position Cloud, Cadpipe, A-360 Collaboration, ETAP, Lux Stage Calculation, 3DS Max, Photoshop, Bluebeam and lots of other people clashpros.

Let's check out the advantages plus the approach of functioning of 4D development simulation.
Advantages – 4D simulation will give you a robust visualization of the development method. This increases the overall arranging and management of your building course of action. Aside from, it is possible to choose helpful bidding presentation and will streamline the efficiency of the constructing. This aids to lessen the associated fee and error in construction and executes your construction procedure competently in advance of shoppers. On top of that, you can get helpful logistics administration and skilled area utilization of the design internet site. Moreover, 4D BIM can help you to definitely forecast challenges before the beginning of construction and get an improved comprehension of task milestones. If you need, you may as well prepare section occupancy in renovation and will properly take care of all house conflicts. For a end result, you are able to get productive task and possibility administration and can coordinate thorough building functions. Consequently, checking strategy and tracking the actual development within your development develop into less complicated.
