Taking another gander as geese fly overheard
For the Birds
By Al Batt
, For the Birds
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 4:04 AM
Rick Bohn of Woodworth, N.D., shares this photo of a Nelson's sparrow perched on a branch this summer.
Two trees rubbed large limbs together in the wind. That action produced a sound that was a cross between the howl of a banshee and the snarl of a mountain lion.
The trees were not the kind of things that go bump in the night, but they could be called such things.
My attention was drawn skyward by another sound. Too early for fall, but an autumn sound reaches my ears. Traveling geese.
When the season turns and the days shorten, geese ride helpful winds southward. Perhaps this was a practice run. A V of geese was audible, but nearly invisible until coming close enough to make a dark presence against the sky.
I was happy to see them. A goose is always worth another gander.
Echoes from the Loafers' Club Meeting
"I can't remember anything today."
"Some days are like that."
"I hope I'm not losing my mind."
"Oh, don't worry. You're probably just stupid."
A traveling man
I was staying in what was an old farmhouse until the city of Sterling, Ill., grew around it. The house is offered as quarters for wayfaring strangers. I arrived late in the evening in preparation of giving some talks the next day.
I had been supperless or dinnerless - at least without an evening meal. I'd stopped at a store and picked up something to eat in my room - a couple of Colorado peaches and a smoothie made from strawberries, cherries, plums, apples, purple carrots, red beets, sweet potatoes, sweet corn and chick peas.
I had just finished my splendid repast and was enjoying some hot tea while jotting things down into my composition book, when I noticed it.
There on the floor below the lowest door hinge of the closed door was a sizable lump. I walked to it and could see that it was a wallet. It was much too large to be mine. I picked it up. It was much too heavy to be mine. It could have been used in a weightlifting class.
I opened the wallet and discovered that it was the property of a lawyer from North Carolina. There was a wad of cash thick enough to choke two horses. I counted $300 and would have had more counting to do to arrive at a final figure.
The man in North Carolina now has his wallet and its complete contents back. He'd lost it over a month earlier. When he learned that his wallet was on the way, his comment was, "Are you kidding me?"
I swept the room with a glance
I was manning a broom. I thought of an aunt who made a list of things to do each day. She wrote it in the dust on her furniture. Cleaning the house never made her list of things to do.
I had spilled some birdseed that needed to be corralled into a dustpan. I swept the floor vigorously. Detritus found its way onto the dustpan. I picked up the dustpan, planning to toss the seeds outside where the birds might eat them.
In that process, I noticed that there was a line of dirt that had abutted the edge of the dustpan, but refused to join the rest of its ilk. I swept again. A line remained. I repeated the action a number of times. The only thing that changed was the location of the line of dirt. It was dustrating.
Party line
Beth Horner of Wilmette, Ill., told me when she was a girl, her family had a party line telephone. Anyone on the party line could pick up the receiver and listen in on a conversation. That was called "rubbering."
Now we have cellphones that are not on a party line, but we are allowed to rubber their phone discussions whether we want to or not.
The mention of a party line reminded me of a Hank Williams, Sr., song titled "Mind Your Own Business" that goes like this, "Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing. She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring. Why don't you mind your own business. Well, if you mind your business, then you won't be minding mine."
Beth told me that hers was an eight-party line. She said it was like having an extension phone in seven other homes. Phone subscribers were grouped together on a line. Each was assigned a calling signal of a certain number of long and so many short rings. You could call anyone on your line by ringing his or her ring.
To call a party on another line, you had to go through "central." When the operator answered, you asked for your party. There were those curious people who quietly lifted the receiver and listened in on the conversations of others.
My father knew that a woman rubbered on his party line. Let's say her name was Bertha. At the completion of his call, my father would say, "Goodnight, Bertha." When he encountered her later in person, he could tell that she was furious with him, but she couldn't tell anyone why.
Q and A
"What do green herons eat?"
Green herons are carnivorous, eating primarily fish and invertebrates. They are opportunistic foragers that make use of available food resources. Their diet includes leeches, earthworms, dragonflies, damselflies, waterbugs, grasshoppers, crayfish, minnows, sunfish, catfish, perch, eels, goldfish (in backyard ponds), rodents, lizards, frogs, tadpoles, and snakes. Feeding can take place day or night.
"What does it mean when a lake turns over?"
Water density varies with water temperature. Water is heaviest at 39º F and as temperature varies from 39º F, it becomes lighter. In summer and winter, lakes are maintained in a stratified condition. Less dense water is at the surface and more dense water is near the bottom. During the late summer and autumn, air temperatures cool the surface water causing its density to increase. The heavier water sinks, forcing the lighter water to the surface. This continues until the water temperature at all depths reaches approximately 39º F. Because there is little difference in density at this stage, the waters are easily mixed by the wind. The sinking action and mixing of the water by the wind results in the exchange of surface and bottom waters that is called "turnover." In the spring, the process reverses itself. Ice melts and surface waters warm and sink until the water temperature at all depths reaches approximately 39º F. The sinking combined with wind mixing causes spring "turnover."
"What causes fairy rings on my lawn?"
Circles or arcs of dark green, lush, fast growing grass is perhaps the most common fairy ring, especially in spring. These rings are commonly 2 to 15 feet in diameter. Mushrooms or puffballs may appear under wet conditions in this same ring pattern. A ring of brown or dead grass may appear. Fairy ring fungi are not attacking the grass directly, but are breaking down organic matter in the soil. As a result, nitrogen is released that the grass may use, causing the green ring. In cases where the mycelia of the fungus become dense enough to inhibit water movement into the soil, grass in the arc may turn brown. The mushrooms that appear after a rain are the fruiting bodies of the fungus. The organic matter a fairy ring breaks down is often tree stumps, roots, logs, lumber or other large pieces of organic material found in the soil below the lawn. Once this material is depleted, the fairy ring disappears. This may take considerable time.
Meeting adjourned
A kind word is like the morning light. It chases away the darkness.
Thanks for stopping by

Russian Orthodox Church to get 13 new dioceses
Moscow, October 6, 2011
The Moscow Patriarchate's Holy Synod, which convened in Moscow on Wednesday, made the decision to set up 13 new dioceses.
The new dioceses will appear in Kazakhstan and also in the Irkutsk, Orenburg, Ryazan and Saratov regions, in Khabarovsk Territory and the Republic of Tyva, the Russian Orthodox Church said on its website.
On the first day the Synod also selected the heads for the new dioceses. Archbishop Panteleimon of Oryol and Livny will take charge of the Krasnoyarsk Diocese and his place will be taken by Archbishop Antony of Krasnoyarsk and Achinsk.
The participants in the autumn session freed Metropolitan Filaret of Minsk and Slutsk from the duties of chairman of the Synodal Biblical-Theologian Commission.
The post of chairman of the Biblical-Theologian Commission will be taken by Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, the head of Synodal Department for External Church Relations.
The metropolitans of Astana and Kazakhstan, and of Central Asia have been entered on the list of the Synod's permanent members - a decision to be confirmed by the Archbishop's Council.
The Synod has also confirmed several general documents on the organization of work with youth, and recommendations to the local commissions for canonization and on the appointment and dismissal of priors at monasteries and convents.

Beckham Back In South Florida
David Beckham has been in town this weekend to do a couple of things: cheer on his old English squad in their final tune up game before the World Cup against Honduras at Sun Life Stadium. (Result: 0-0)
He also spent some time in the area pressing the flesh for his Site B plan. Beckham's group is reportedly still talking about various options and have made no headway on a final site.
Presuming that the stadium were built on county land near the Triple A, there are also reported huge differences in the amount of rent the team would play once a team and stadium is in place.
(Lots) more to come.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Nine counts levied, strong evidence, boxes supporting my claim, yet my lawyers waited till I was absolutely broke before 'settling' prior to depositions- 18 months later!! One lawyer had a first cousin on the Board of this 'prestigious' non-profit organization, the other made himself available twice in 18months- and said nothing during the voluntary arbitration. The one lawyer refused to be identified with case since he almost always represents employers. My check arrived from them and not the defendant - and they added 4% extra to the fee without explanation- explaining they lost the original terms and I should have had my own copy??
No one here can second guess what happened without a lot more information. Your only sure way of knowing if something inappropriate took place is to consult with a malpractice and/or employment attorney. But know first that even if your attorneys were less than perfect, they may have done everything required of them and even more. ]
Your attorneys may not share your view that you have strong and voluminous evidence. They may have thought it was much weaker than you, based on their understanding of the law.
Many cases go on for a very long time. 18 months is not all that unusual these days, unfortunately, because employers are more and more reluctant to agree to settle. Settlement is not fully up to your attorneys. It is also up to the employer and, of couse, to you, as you must approve the settlement.
You cannot assume there was a conflict of interest just because one attorney had a cousin on the board. Maybe they hate each other. Or maybe your attorney received good help from the cousin and your case was strengthened by it.
Most firms that assign more than one attorney to a case still have a lead or primary attorney who does most of the work. The fact that one of your attorneys was less of a participant than the other is not by itself inappropriate. Even if the other attorney was quiet during the arbitration, his or her presence might have added to the value of the case by showing there are two attorneys involved, by his or her good name, or in some other way. And even if not, that does not mean his or her presence detracted in any way.
How can it be that one of the attorneys refused to be identified with the case if both were at the arbitration?
The check is likely to have arrived from the attorneys because (1) it was most likely made out to the attorneys' client trust account, which is standard procedure, and the attorney deducted their fees and sent you the rest, and (2) it would usually be impermissible for an opposing attorney to communicate directly with a represented party.
If you do not understand the 4 per cent deduction, ask your attorneys to explain it or reimburse you for it.
Yes, the attorneys should have a copy of the fee agreement and so should you. The attorney is in a better position to keep track of the records and has a legal duty to do so.
You might consider writing to your attorneys regarding the 4 per cent, keep a copy for yourself, send it certified, and ask them to justify the fee by showing a copy of your prior agreement to that 4 per cent and if they cannot, ask them to pay it to you.

Surgeon left field and no one will touch me in Atlanta. Endocrinologist says I should have it removed so I can eat healthier proteins. Now I can eat beef and shrimp and very little else. I throw up a lot. Last adjustment, my port had flipped. They said they can't add any more to it. Should I have it removed and do something else? I have heart disease, diabetes, and hypothyroid.
I Had my Lapband 5 Years Ago. I Lost 150 Lbs. Fairly Quickly. It Stopped and I Have 150 to Go. What Should I Do? I'm Gaining Now
Doctor Answers 2
Problem with lap band
if your port has flipped or if you have problem eating or excessively throwing up, you will need to remove the band ASAP. The band is doing no good and in future will cause problems such as slipped band, which is a true medical emergency. The best option is Lap Band Removal and covert to gastric sleeve at the same time. I have performed many such procedures and my patients loss a lot of weight, are very happy and don't have to deal with having a band or band fills. If you have insurance, the removal and conversion to sleeve is usually covered if your doctor dose a good job on documenting your problems and submitting request for treatment to insurance company.
Port Flips
Most band patients cannot tolerate over-cooked meats - like dry chicken or rubbery eggs. To cook them better use a Sous Vide cooking method and you will tolerate all proteins.
Conversion to a sleeve is always an option, but try to get this band to work first.
Good luck

- Have rodents been damaging your farm equipment and supplies?
- Are you looking for a safe, no-kill method to get rid of them?
- Do you hate the mess and smell you find in your equipment in the spring?
U.S. Farmers spend over $8 million each year on rodent damage repairs. Fresh Cab® is the easiest solution to mouse and rat control and will keep rodents out from the start! Unlike smelly moth balls, that permeate the area for months afterwards, sticky glue traps or dangerous rat poison, our natural rodent repellent is:
- Environmentally friendly: Completely biodegradable with a 98% non-carbon footprint
- Animal friendly: Mice are repelled, not killed. Safe for use around your pets too!
- Easy to use: Simply place in your affected areas and rodents will flee
- Less hazardous: Eliminates the need to clean up and remove dead rats
- Effective: Fresh Cab® Rodent Repellent boasts a 90% repeat purchase rate
- Committed to Successful Farming through mouse control
EarthKind understands your rodent control needs because we began as a farm-based company located in rural North Dakota. Through firsthand experience, we know how messy, stressful and hazardous glue traps and rat poison can be.
That is why we formulated an alternative rodent control method that is designed specifically for use in enclosed farm structures such as tractors and trucks.
EarthKind is proud of our strong ties to the farming industry, which is why we source all of our ingredients from U.S. farms and routinely ask for customer feedback from farmers like you. This ensures that farmers nationwide can enjoy successful farming without the negative effects of a mouse infestation.
Keep Mice and Rats Out – How it Works
Fresh Cab® pouches are made with a blend of plant fiber and botanical extracts that while pleasant to you, offends rodents. Simply place pouches in your farm equipment and buildings to immediately start controlling your mouse and rat problem.
For preventative use in non-infested areas, simply place one pouch for every 125 sq. feet, scent lasts up to 90 days. For use in currently infested areas, increase use to 1 pouch per 8 sq. feet of floor space and replace every 30 days. One whiff of this specially formulated blend is enough to send rodents packing and rid your home of mice and rats.

All Pug's uncatchable value cast errors are eliminated by theorbtwo's sweeping AST.Internals change, which uncovered various bad assumptions in the evaluator core -- I spent most of time today chasing them down. So, the planned release has (yet again) delayed.
During my flight to Toronto, I jotted down many questions to ask Larry; I'd glad that Larry resolved most of the show-stopping ambiguities, with help from luqui and other hackathoners.
Yesterday, Test.pm finally works correctly with PIR compilation, so I ran
make pirsmoke for the first time, which passed 2.5% of all
subtests. As I'm writing this, luqui is close to get
eval working
on Pugs-generated PIR code -- this should improve our percentage by a significant amount.
stevan brought a new paper that describes a concise, dynamically extensible, polymorphic typed metamodel based on kind/class/objects. He is implementing it in Perl 5 right now; once that works we can port it to Haskell and use it in both the evaluator and the codegen.
lwall is hacking on PPD, the Perl5 optree dumper that defeats optimisations. The Perl 5 to Perl 6 translator may then work by compiling PPD to PIL, and then pretty-print PIL back to Perl 6.
Aside from cooking delicious and inflammable pizza, nothingmuch managed to get a Perl 5 implementation of Forth going, as a prototype of the Harrorth work. We didn't get around to generate PIR from that, though.
ingy showcased his Test::Base superior technology, where you can get specification-based testing done automatically for your projects just by writing two lines of harness. He is porting it to Perl 6 as I write this, which would be very cool indeed.
theorbtwo is tracing out the remaining failing tests, so we can have a reasonable chance of cutting a Pugs release tomorrow. Patrick arrives tomorrow; I hope to get PGE repaired against the trunk parrot, and get closures in Rules working.
There's much, much, much more activity going on than I can describe here -- I covered maybe about 3% of it. Below is a glimpse of a few Perl 6 design glitches we've been ironing out so far -- there more to come...

At the same time, though, they wanted to define themselves as sort of elite and up-and-coming.

GOP needs vision, not hubris
GOP Chairman Reince Priebus recently said at the Conservative Political Action Conference that Republicans need to change their message and welcome everyone under their "tent."
But after watching the CPAC, I wonder how they can project inclusiveness with these comments from two of the party's "best and brightest":
• "The architect(s) can head on back to the great Lone Star State and put their name on some ballot!" — Sarah Palin, on Karl Rove making millions of dollars as a losing Romney consultant.
• "Even CPAC had to cut back on its speakers this year by about 300 pounds." — Ann Coulter, referring to Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Using Palin and Coulter as spokespersons for the Republican agenda ahead of someone with the charisma and likability of Chris Christie is like the Democrats using Bill Maher instead of Hillary Clinton at their conference. What is going on here? We need a vision for jobs, not sophomoric rhetoric.
Is this Republican "inclusiveness"? The GOP used to be the party of respect; the party of Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. Now it's the party of Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. It will continue to be a small-tent party as long as this hubris is the perceived future of the Republican Party.

East Texas All-Stars Are One Win Away from Little League World Series
We learned last Friday just how amazing the East Texas All-Star Little League team is, when they scored 12 runs in the bottom of the first inning. Yikes! There was no way Oklahoma was going to overcome a hole that big. The East Texas team, based in Lufkin, won 14-1 at the Southwest Regional Tournament in Waco.
There have been other wins and losses in pool play over the past few days, including a big win Monday night against Colorado. If the team had lost that game, the season would have been over. They beat Colorado that night, and Louisiana yesterday to move to the final round.
This Friday, the East Texas All-Stars will play on National TV in the regional finals, for the chance to go to the Little League World Series.

Sir Terence Conran Birthday News
Happy 80th Birthday to Design Legend Sir Terence Conran!
You may not be familiar with the name Sir Terence Conran, but don't let that fool you. This man has left a lasting imprint in the world of interior design.
A pioneer in design work that transformed the look of the British home, Conran kicked off a design studio and later an architecture practice that has had a global impact on the world of interior design. In order to celebrate Sir Conran, a new exhibit, The Way We Live Now, at The Design Museum explores Conran's accomplishments whether it be key themes of his career or looking at where he channeled his inspiration. We wish we could go to London just to check it out!
Since we can no longer hop on the Concorde, we've decide to celebrate in our own way, by sharing some fascinating facts about Sir Terence Conran's legendary career. We could list his astounding accomplishments for days, but here are five things we find oh-so intriguing about Conran's legacy.
- He's the brains behind the iconic store Habitat.
There was nothing cooler than London in the 1960s; Conran's spot, Habitat, totally broke down the preconceived notions of furniture stores of the past by blending pop culture, modern design, and an unprecedented retail experience.
- He's a philanthropist.
In the '80s, Conran developed the The Conran Foundation, "an educational charity focused on promoting a better understanding of design." Its first big initiative was the Boilerhouse Project, a gallery housed in the basement of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
- Age doesn't define him.
Well into the late 2000s, Conran continued to open restaurants like Boundary in East London and Lutyens in Fleet Street.
- He's a restaurateur.
Conran's background in architecture and designed propelled him into being a key player in the development of the new restaurant culture driven by a passion for simplicity.
- He's a real knight!
Terence Conran became Sir Terence Conran in 1983.

text: I had this problem and actually resulted into reformatting to see if I messed up somewhere with installing multiple packages. Ended up after I reformatted I got the same issue. I am connecting to a WPA2 encrypted router but it uses a WEP HEX key to authenticate I'm guessing. Someone it is using both WEP and WPA2. I went to WICD and changed my settings to a WEP HEX key and after that I was able to connect. I did some research on it before and some people said it was an issue with WICD 1.7 which I cannot confirm. Some forum posts said to down grade to WICD 1.6.2 and it would solve the problem. Best of luck to you!

Preview: Green Gathering
Kylie McCormick breaks down the various appeals of the upcoming Green Gathering festivalWritten by Kylie McCormick on 24th July 2017
It's tough being a buzz band these days. The 'buzz' is less the excitement of a new band on the stratosphere and more the descent of angry mobs intent on blasting your every move to pieces.
""As long as they come down [to a show] and then slag me off I don't care."
Sitting on what can only be described as the lowest sofa I've ever sat on, in the upstairs room of a slightly grimy and well-abused venue there's a sense that these are the circuits that Palma Violets regard most fondly. 'The intimate shows are much better because you can do whatever you want there, you can kind of control the crowd to an extent. We try to get people on the stage whenever we can, people love it. It's just the best feeling when you get on stage with a band you like.' It's this punk ideal that drives the band, and this tour in particular, 'We wanted to do an old punk tour. No-one seems to do these places like…y'know Preston or Hull, we wanted to reach everyone. Especially because they don't have much of a sense of a music scene and stuff.'
Being a band rooted in London the obvious tour highlight would surely be a hometown show, but Palma Violets insist their stand out gig was Middlesbrough; 'We played in this social club but it looked like something out of the 1970s, like you know you see that early footage of the Sex Pistols? It was punk; you couldn't get any more punk than that…everyone kind of knew each other in the crowd as well. The promoter was a head teacher at a primary school, which was amazing because for them it wasn't really a business, he wasn't doing it for money. It wasn't just young kids it was like adults, old punks, skins, rockers, and it just went mental.'

Derek Jeter in his walking boot made a surprise appearance at his Turn 2 Foundation Holiday Express Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.
The Captain hosted 500 children from the five boroughs of New York City and joined Santa in passing out gifts.
This event for our foundation, for our family, is probably the one we look forward to most," Jeter told MLB.com. "Any time you're talking about the holiday season and have the opportunity to give back and meet a lot of kids — 500-600 kids — you want them to have fun. Everyone should feel special during the holiday season. We get the opportunity to give them all gifts, which they look forward to. I really don't think they look forward to seeing me any more — it's Santa and the elves and all the gifts."
Jeter gave an update to the media on his health and the changes on the Yankees' roster. Regarding his ankle Derek has started walking over the past 10 days after sitting on his couch for about six weeks. Now that Jeter can move he feels that he is on his way to being where he needs to be and assured everyone he will be ready come Opening Day.
On the state of the team Jeter said, "Other guys are going to have to step up," Jeter said of the club, which has already lost free agents Eric Chavez and Russell Martin to other teams, and will likely be without Alex Rodriguez for the start of the season. "We've lost a lot of people throughout the years, especially last year, and other guys were able to do it. You can't sit around and hang your head, you have to move forward.
Jeter got back to his guests giving out gift bags that the Jeter's Leaders organization put together at a holiday gift wrapping they held early this winter at Yankee Stadium. All the gifts were donated by the Yankees and sponsors of the Turn 2 Foundation.
•Be sure to "like" Yankees 101 on Facebook and to follow Yankees 101 on Twitter
•Text "oneteam" to 20222 to donate $10 to the One Team for the Lights charity initiative.

UPDATE (March 18):
The suspect in the March 14 shooting in Randallstown that left a woman injured has died. He has been identified as 30-year-old Taavon T Gilliam.
Original release (March 14):
At 6:55 a.m., Baltimore County Police and Fire Personnel responded to a home in the 9600 block of Axehead Court in Randallstown for a report of a shooting. Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered an adult female with at least one gunshot wound to the upper body. She was transported to Shock Trauma with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
The initial investigation into this incident has indicated that the victim and the suspect were having some sort of interaction in front of the home. During that interaction, the suspect shot the victim at least once in the upper body. The suspect then fled the scene.
Officers later approached a car that the suspect was in at a location in Baltimore City. When they went up to the car, they found that he had a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was transported to Sinai Hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.
The victim and the suspect were married and lived at the location. However, the suspect had been staying at another location for the past several weeks.
The Baltimore City Police Department is conducting the investigation into the self-inflicted gunshot wound.
This incident remains under investigation by the Baltimore County Police Department Violent Crimes Unit. Further information will be released as it becomes available.

2012-12-05 - ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has won an order to supply 21 generators for a 384 MW gas power plant project in Azerbaijan. Located near Baku, Azerbaijan's capital, the Boyuk Shor plant will be operated by Azerenerji JSC, a state-owned utility company. It will produce electricity for the capital city region.
This latest order follows ABB's involvement in a number of successful power plant projects in Azerbaijan. From 2005 to 2008 ABB supplied a total of 82 generators for seven power plants with a combined output of more than 860 MW. These generators, which were also supplied in cooperation with Wärtsilä, now produce approximately one-fifth of Azerbaijan's electricity.
ABB (www.abb.com) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 145,000 people.

When winning is the only thing: pure strategy Nash equilibria in a three-candidate spatial voting model
It is well-known that there are no pure strategy Nash equilibria (PSNE) in the standard three-candidate spatial voting model when candidates maximize their share of the vote. When all that matters to the candidates is winning the election, however, we show that PSNE do exist. We provide a complete characterization of such equilibria and then extend our results to elections with an arbitrary number of candidates. Finally, when two candidates face the potential entrant of a third, we show that PSNE no longer exist, however, they do exist when the number of existing candidates is at least three.

Mini Bio (1)
Dan Monahan graduated from Ohio University, where he studied in its prestigious Professional Actors Training Program. After graduation Dan moved to New York and started performing in commercials, Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway theatrical productions. He was soon cast in what he considers one of his favorite engagements, the Broadway production of Richard III, starring Al Pacino at the Court Theatre.
Versatile, charismatic, and blessed with an impeccable sense of comic timing, Dan made his film debut in the Joe D'Amato erotic parody Paradiso Blu (1980). Monahan's talent was acknowledged by writer/director Bob Clark, who cast him in what would become his most recognizable role: the quintessential oversexed teen "Pee Wee" in Clark's blockbuster 80's teen-sex comedy Porky's (1981). Dan starred in the feature comedy Up the Creek (1984) with Animal House veteran 'Tim Matheson', in the thriller The Night Flier (1997) with Miguel Ferrer, and has appeared in the films Baby Geniuses (1999), Shattered Illusions (1998), and From the Hip (1987) as well as in such notable television movies and mini-series as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1981) and How the West Was Won (1976). He has also performed at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, worked with The Abbey Theatre Company of Ireland, The Burt Reynolds Theatre in Jupiter, Florida, and with a number of regional and community theaters throughout the US.
Dan is married, has a grown daughter and spends his leisure time dabbling in photography and golf. He recently chalked playing the Old Course in Scotland off his bucket list, but is still awaiting that invitation to play Augusta.

OK. I localised the problem.
1. Working with original DejaVu fonts: it behaves as described, the condensed fonts are not seen.
2. Removed the DejaVu normal fonts, and the condensed fonts are seen correctly.
3. Increase weights on all four sets of fonts (using FontCreator)
4. Place all four modified sets on Kindle: it behaves as described, the condensed fonts are not seen.
5. Use TypeLight and rename the condensed fonts to the same. It has the strange effect of clearing some metadata fields. As such, all four fonts are seen separately.
At this point, I got a new problem. This happens only with DejaVu Sans Condensed with increase weight.
1. If I put on Kindle only the regular font, the text appears as regular.
2. But if I put both the regular and any other (italic, bold, or bolditalic), then the main font is no longer the regular, but one of the others, in this order: italic, bold, bolditalic.
I am pretty sure that the metadata is correct for these fonts. So something else is happening.
I tried the same with the original DejaVu Sans Condensed alone (i.e. without the original DejaVu Sans). The font is shown as DejaVu Sans, but it behaves correctly, i.e. the regular font is not ignored. For all DejaVu weight increases I used glyph transformation bold(30,24).
Any suggestions for what I may try next?

Christian Sprenger has been making a mark in the pool during the past two years with a world title and Olympic silver medal in the 100 metre breaststroke, but the late bloomer wanted to make a real statement at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games selection trials currently being held in Brisbane.
His performances had cemented his place within the top two 100 breastrokers in the world alongside Olympic champion Cameron van de Burgh so he need something to stand out and get people talking.
He unveiled the look when he entered the pool deck for the start of the final of his pet event on Thursday night. There was no Ali shuffle or 'Sting like a bee' rhyme but there was plenty of bling as he appeared in a hooded jacket that had shoulders of glittering gold colouring - a declaration to his great South African rival about his intentions at the Commonwealth Games where the pair will next meet.
"We wanted something that was going to be pretty special for here at trials and this was a good opportunity for me to come out and really set the mark not only here in Australia but in the world early in the year so we needed something to show we meant business," Sprenger said.
"I would have worn it in the 200 (which he won on Tuesday night) but it didn't arrive (in time)."
"It's a bit of fun, a bit of a statement. It keeps it interesting."
And Sprenger backed it up in the pool scorching to an easy win in a world-class time of 58.87 to set up an exciting match up with van de Burgh in Glasgow.
"I know how good he is, he knows how good I am," Sprenger said.
"We're both in it for the same reasons. He's going to be amped, I'm going to be psyched so get ready."
"I've been able to prove to myself time and time over the last 24 to 36 months that I can really step up. It's good fun. I turn around and see a 58 which weren't even talked about three years ago and to be able to do them with some of the greats like (Kosuke) Kitajima and Cameron is very special."

Golden Globes 2011 - My Favourites!
5 comments:
I just saw some of the pictures here and there on other blogs, but I must say that Anne Heatherway really looks lovely, just like I adore Helena Bonham-Carter. She always has this mystic but also charming touch to her outfits, just like she is pretty in a not so conventional way!ReplyDelete
But I also likes Amber Riley, she look stunning in this sequin dress.
I love how confident Helena Bonham-Carter is to be herself! She's comfortable being zany & I love that!ReplyDelete
I noticed the emerald hue seemed to be quite popular, while I'm not really a fan of green, I loved how well people pulled it off!
I really like Helena Boham Carter in the dress. It is like seeing Bellatrix Lestrange do fashion! It is whimsical and unusual and fitting on her!ReplyDelete
Hear hear on HBC! I totally agree. Everyone loves SJP when she turns up with a dead bird on her head (SATC the movie for instance) why can't they be the same about HBC?! I love her and her style - I love her "I don't give a FF what you lot think" attitude.ReplyDelete
I really liked Olivia Wilde's dress and I loved Catherine Zeta-Jones' dress it reminded me of Scarlet's dress made of curtains in Gone with the wind for some reason.ReplyDelete
Hi there! Thank you for leaving your post. Due to some blatantly obvious spammers I have had to turned comment moderation back on with word captcha for older posts. Hopefully the spammers will bugger off and I can take some of the settings back to normal quickly! Thank you and smooches! Em. x

Asymco on Apple, Android and Mobile Disruption
I've been reading a lot of Asymco since John Gruber linked from Daring Fireball a few weeks ago. Great analysis illustrated with lots of graphs.
Take a look at this one, from Android's Pursuit of the Biggest Loser:
I thought these were great points:
Speed. This shift of profit occurred over an unprecedentedly short period of time. Three years is no more than two product cycles in the industry and it's an order of magnitude faster than what happened historically to other industries.
Disruption is the diagnosis here. The incumbents were caught

Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum purchase from the Charles Isaacs Collection made possible in part by the Luisita L. and Franz H. Denghausen Endowment
No single image could possibly encompass the expansive sweep of one of the world's greatest natural wonders. Early photographers began to make multiple images from contiguous vantage points and fit them together to create panoramas. Rather than detracting from the image, the imperfectly joined seam emphasizes the power of Niagara's cascades versus man's imperfect ability to reproduce it.

The Vintage Car: The Post World War 1 PhenomenonPosted by Ruth Moore on Nov 21, 2015 in Vintage Cars | 379 comments
The Vintage Car: The Blog post World War 1 Phenomenon
Classic cars are generally considereded as the automobiles and cars that were made at the start of the second years of the 1900s as well as finished about a years after, a great starting factor for this era was when the First Globe Battle ended. Its end date though is a little murky however numerous experts firmly insist that it was in the end of 1930. That is why some automobiles created after 1925, which some American vintage car specialists say is completion of the period, are taken into consideration to be vintage cars as well as vintage cars. There are likewise those that thought about the end of the First Globe War and also the begin of the 2nd Globe Battle as the classic car era.
Regardless, the vintage car period was when many automobile professionals, lovers as well as enthusiasts think about as one of the best periods in auto past history as lots of advancements were installed and also even more individuals might manage them. Before this period, an automobile ownership was beside difficult and also before the classic car age ended, various American family members had an auto.
The reason for this upsurge in vehicle manufacturing could be attributed to lots of elements. The economic situation was at an all time high, roadways were being paved and the vehicles were becoming practical, practical and also cost effective. Due to the fact that vehicles were in terrific need, many car firms were produced and also they all scrambled available for sale.
But due to the rigid completion as well as the rising slide of the economic situation resulting in the fantastic depression in 1929, a number of these auto business folded and only concerning 10 percent of them endured. Some of those that folded were small vehicle firms that could not manage the accounts payable as well as were producing poor automobiles that could not withstand the test of time.
Some of those business though, like Ford, Hudson, Oldsmobile, Daimler, Dodge, Chrysler, and also DeSoto, where able to make vehicles that were marked with quality as well as durability that up until today, several of their items are still road worthy. These business were able to create automobiles and automobiles that were thought about lavish as well as extremely resilient. Automotive technologies like in automobile heating, a radio, much better engines and also the intro of anti-freezing permitted these cars to be made use of anywhere as well as anytime with utmost comfort.
Today, a number of these automobiles still already exist as well as could be still considered road worthwhile. Yet they don't ply the roadways as frequently as they did then and are thought about a lot more as valuable collections. A number of vehicle aficionados pertain to classic cars as the trophies of their picks up and showcase them in auto programs.
A few of these vintage cars are salvaged from junk backyards and also from left garage areas and also are recovered to their full glory. This however has an expensive price tag. If you have a vintage car that has countless problems, looking for parts to restore it can become a problem in itself. Components for vintage cars are difficult to discover and if you ever discover one, they might be a bit expensive. However don't fret. With some perseverance and also a truckload of determination, a vintage car reconstruction task can be quite fulfilling. Since few classic cars could be seen today, being an owner of a totally brought back classic car could be a wonderful source of pride and for individuality.

This is a companion story to A call for help during hard times.
Tacoma artist Deidre Perez Norris presented the Breast Cancer Resource Center with a donation check for $300 this week – an example of how people in the greater community can help support the Center when funding from big national organizations runs dry.
A gifted artist in repurposing gently used items into something new and wonderful, Norris (a.k.a. "A Girl Who Loves Junk") has been selling her glass art flowers for home and garden at Chirp & Co. (3803 N 26th St.) for some time now. Five dollars from each sale goes to BCRC. She presented the check in person March 20 to BCRC Executive Director Janie Cunningham and Resource Room Coordinator Sarah Jones. Cunningham called Norris' donation "extraordinary. I just love how everyone's gifts and talents and passions can work to help build community and this Center. Honestly, I love that there are 'pieces of the Center' in gardens all over Tacoma now."
"When I first started this, I knew that anything helps," Norris said. She supports BCRC in honor of those she's known who've passed away from breast cancer, including her cousin who died at 47 years old. "Also, two years ago, I participated in the Susan G. Koman 3 Day and our team member ended up passing away at 33 of breast cancer. My friend's mom just passed away a couple weeks ago, and another lady I was walking for passed away too last year. Everyone I walked for have all passed."
According to Cunningham, Pierce County has the highest breast cancer diagnosis rate in the state per capita, and Washington State is at the top in the country for such diagnoses. She said BCRC has had a 13-15 percent increase in client services just this year.
Cunningham noted that it doesn't take a major outlay of money by individuals to help the Center stay solid – even $1 helps. "A million people sending in $1 – that's the community support we need – just $1 to keep this lifeline here for women."

Science, Faith and the Public Sphere (RJS)
Pastor's Bookshelf: Colossians
Now we turn to commentaries on Colossians in our ongoing series on commentaries. And once again, speak up if you think a commentary deserves mention. I taught Colossians for years, used a commentary I really liked, and so I still turn first to Peter O'Brien, Word Biblical Commentary Vol. 44, Colossians-Philemon. Exegetically rigorous and theologically [Read More…]
A Brother's Wisdom 84
Out of nowhere James says this in James 5:12: Above all, my brothers, do not swear–not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned. He has virtually quoted Jesus here. Here are the words of Jesus from Matthew 5:33-37: Again, [Read More…]
Science and Faith – A Pastoral Approach? (RJS)
Over the last year or so I've written a number of posts that have reflected on various aspects of the intersection of science and faith. These are issues and questions that I've thought about and wrestled with most of my adult life. How should we interpret Genesis or Romans? What does it mean to claim [Read More…]
Marriage as Parable of Permanence 7
We are discussing marriage by examining the recent book of John Piper's called This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence. If you know the debates today among (mostly) evangelicals — I don't know this debate outside that circle, you know there is a debate between complementarians and egalitarians, though I think the word "egalitarian" is [Read More…]

Cannes Is Overrun With Inglourious Basterds
What Quentin Tarantino's new film Inglourious Basterds lacks in proper spelling, it more than makes up for with star power.
The World War II epic about a group of bounty hunters who track down and brutally kill Nazis had its premiere at the 62nd International Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday, drawing everyone and his brother—along with the world's favorite vampire.
Stars Brad Pitt (along with his babymama Angelina Jolie), Diane Kruger and Melanie Laurent were on hand, along with Sharon Stone, Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt, Emile Hirsch, Joshua Jackson, Dita Von Teese, Joss Stone and—last, but totally not least—Robert Pattinson.
According to The Insider, the film's debut was met with an 11-minute standing ovation. No wonder Tarantino felt compelled to bust out the dance moves on the red carpet.
Have your say in the comments section: Do you plan to see Inglourious Basterds when it hits theaters?

It's grand prix week in Melbourne but let's turn our minds to a race whose outcome is already decided (and I'm not referring to Australia's next Test series against Pakistan): the battle for Gellibrand, the safe Labor seat being vacated by retired attorney-general
Rear Window understands Telstra executive Tim Watts is a sure thing to win preselection over former Roxon staffer Katie Hall and almost certainly win election to Parliament this year.
Watts is a former adviser to Snowboarding Minister
Watts will also be a rare bird in the Labor caucus (possibly, given the dire state of the polls, just by being in the room) – he's spent more time in the corporate world than the public service and has never worked in the union movement. But given his work for the despot, he shouldn't expect glowing press, even in our new Soviet era.

Has anyone experienced a sudden slowdown in sales over past week?
I use to be selling at a steady rate with barely 1 day a month of zero sales. Suddenly it is down to just 1 sale for past 5 days
Cheers Tarique
The class I linked works pretty well or you can install Exiftool and pass info to it and write to the image.
Also from experience I can tell that reading EXIF is pretty CPU intensive, what I typically do it read the exif once when the image is uploaded and cache that to a DB either as a serialised array or individual fields.
The information you see is called Exchangeable image information aka EXIF, Almost every digital camera and smartphones write this into the image file. You can read this information using the in built PHP EXIF functions http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.exif.php
To write EXIF into an image you will need something like http://lsolesen.github.io/pel/
Does this point you to a direction?
20 sales – but only about $40 more. Are Plugins are my underpriced? Not that I can do much about it…
Nagpur, Maharashtra… Close enough?
That said – this is the internet… and the community here is very friendly and welcoming, why restrict yourself?
Good job!
Noticed that my sales rank on CC was 399, am making just about $500 a month. My guesstimate is only the top 100 who make enough to do this full time…. Or rather a better strategy would be to concentrate on themes where the pricing seems much higher.
Comments or other insights most welcome…
FWIW I have done both – Asked for a price increase and a price decrease. In both cases I stated my reasons clearly (which were – bring the price in line with other similar items) and the request was processed in less than a day
Sandi said
So, its hard to believe that creation of any useful / high demand / bugles plugin can take couple of days/weeks.
Depends on what functionality you are building, it is the idea and its utility – one of my plugin is something very simple (and just $7) but sells more than 20 copies almost every week. Was created in less than 50 hours
Just saw this on my statement

You only need to find the wires for left or right not both because of subwoofers being mono. Wire the solid grey and solid white together and the grey/stripe with the white/stripe together from the LOC. You will want to strip the factory wire back and solder the LOC wires directly to the factory speaker wiring. DO NOT CUT the factory wiring you are only "borrowing" the signal so the aftermarket amplifier has the proper information.

The stock market looks gorgeous. Or does it? We're at a strange juncture. On the face of it, the brisk rally since the turn of the year is bullish for 2013 as a whole. Since 1950, whenever the Dow has scored a gain in January, the winning odds for the next 11 months climb to an impressive 83%.
The month is only half over, of course. However, the market's reluctance, over the past three sessions, to give back its early-January gains bodes well for the rest of the month. Until the weight of the evidence shifts, I suggest maintaining at least a mildly constructive view.
At the same time, it's clear some problems are developing in the background. One is the alarming weakness — collapse may not be too strong a word — in the iconic growth stock of this cycle, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Not only has AAPL plummeted 31% from its September peak, but the stock is now falling sharply even on days, like yesterday, when the overall market behaves fairly well.
Click to EnlargeThe bull can survive, for a while anyway, the loss of a major leader like AAPL. However, if another glamour name with a wide following, such as Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), were to break down, investors could quickly turn defensive. I'm watching AMZN carefully. No sign of trouble yet.
A second issue that bears watching is the dramatic resurgence of insider selling in the New Year. According to the folks at Vickers, who keep tabs on these things, officers and directors at America's publicly traded companies have executed 4.36 sell transactions for every buy over the past eight weeks. While that's still a bit below the 4.79 ratio at which this gauge peaked last fall, it betokens an unseemly urgency by the rats to jump ship.
Bottom line: It's OK to buy stocks in here, but selectively and sparingly. Stick with outfits that feature "automatic stabilizers" (such as high dividends) to cushion your ride if the market sails into rough seas.
Top billing at the moment goes to electric utility Southern Co. (NYSE:SO), with its fat 4.5% yield. I look for SO to raise its payout again in the spring, by 3% to 4%, making the dividend even more attractive.
