Jaguars coach Gus Bradley brought his symbolic bucket of ice water to his press conference Saturday, ready to douse the building momentum of rookie quarterback Blake Bortles.
The third overall pick shined in Friday night's 16-10 victory over Tampa Bay at EverBank Field in the preseason opener, six days after performing well in the team's scrimmage. Bortles was 7-of-11 passing for 117 yards with three catchable balls dropped.
Still, Bradley maintained his and general manager Dave Caldwell's long-held belief. There is no quarterback competition. Veteran Chad Henne (4-of-7, 30 yards vs. Bucs) remains the starter. Bortles won't get work with the first team this week as the Jaguars travel to face Chicago on Thursday night.
"I wouldn't count on it this week," Bradley said.
The priority is to get Henne into a rhythm before seeing what Bortles can do playing with the starters.
The nearly-always positive Bradley said Bortles did a good job before going into his miscues.
"There was [a mental error] he had," Bradley said. "There was one down in the red zone, a slant where it was a high ball. He made a check at the line of scrimmage that we have to talk to him about. But, there was good poise. I thought he played with good poise and good command."
Bradley was also quick to point out that Tampa Bay only brought extra pressure on Bortles once. Still, Bortles still had to complete throws with seven defenders in coverage.
"It's a little bit unrealistic, because there was one blitz from Tampa the whole day, one pressure," Bradley said. "So, it was all four-man rush and good protection. I think it's what we had hoped to see from him."
When asked, Bradley went into further detail on Bortles' mental gaffes.
"He had a check at the line of scrimmage," Bradley said. "He got us into another play and he forgot a play. In the huddle, he forgot a route combination so he changed the play to another one. He had the poise to get us in another one and it was actually complete to [receiver] Mike Brown on their sideline. That was it, not too many."
Bortles' control in the huddle even in adversity impressed his teammates. Brown, a quarterback at Liberty, caught a 31-yard pass from Bortles after dropping two passes earlier in the game.
"He had a real good presence in the huddle, which was very interesting to me," Brown said. "Being here the last few years and huddling with first-year quarterbacks, this was different. He's maturing very fast. He's always cool, calm and collected. He trusts us and we have a lot of fun. This was a big step for him. I thought he made some good decisions and put the ball on the money."
Bortles had a hand in four of the team's five plays that gained at least 16 yards. He completed passes for gains of 31, 24, 19 and 16 yards.
Receiver Kerry Taylor described Bortles' performance as "outstanding." The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Bortles completed a 16-yard pass to Taylor while being pressured and was able to muscle the ball in time to beat the defender near the sideline.
"He's tough," Bradley said. "He'll stand in there. He showed that [Friday night]. He took a hit on the completion on our sideline on a comeback. We believe that he'll have the poise in pressure situations when teams are applying pressure."
Bortles also showed some savvy on two completions to rookie Allen Hurns. His strongest throw of the night came on a 24-yard gain to Hurns in the middle of the field. Bortles also looked off a safety on another play and then completed a 21-yard pass to Hurns into tight coverage.
"He was throwing the ball before receivers got out of their routes," Hurns said. "He was very poised and showed great leadership. He put a lot of heat on that first throw. The second pass was very accurate. He did a wonderful job looking off the safety and getting him out of there before he came back to me late. It was a great ball.
"We never got that look in practice, so I was surprised he found me."

Because it's Monday. And I'm in Louisiana, though I'm not doing laundry today.
•2 cups dry small red beans
•16+ cups water
•4 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled, reserve drippings
•1 teaspoon Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning (or too taste)
•2 cloves garlic, minced fine
•1 bay leaf
•3 cups Trinity*
•3 medium carrots, minced
•More water
•2 teaspoons beef base
•2 pounds polish, link, or cajun sausage
•4 cups cooked white rice** (I prefer Jasmine Rice)
"Look & Pick" the beans, removing any trash, rocks, or severely discolored and deformed beans. Rinse beans well, changing water at least 3 times. This step reduces the flatulence-making property of beans. Cover with 8 cups of the water and let them soak overnight in refrigerator. The next day, remove any "floaters" and drain the water off the beans.
In a large heavy pot, cover the beans with 8 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce heat to low and simmer beans for at least one hour. In the meantime, sauté the Trinity*, garlic, and carrots in the reserved bacon drippings. Add the crumbled bacon, the Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, then add the entire seasoning mixture to the partially cooked beans.
Bring back to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for several hours, adding water as necessary. The beans are done when they begin to "pop" or split and are tender all the way through. (For this step, I use a pressure cooker, even though it's only 300 or so ft. above sea level here. I like for the carrots and trinity to "dissolve" and thicken the soup.)
High altitudes require using a pressure cooker. If you're at 4000 ft, you can boil beans for a week and they won't get done.
Check seasoning and adjust to taste, keeping in mind that the rice is somewhat bland. If the bean soup is not as thick as you like, smash some of the beans to a paste for thickening. Do not use a roux to thicken.
Slice and brown sausages, or grill them whole or in serving size pieces. Your taste, your choice. Serve the beans ladled over cooked white rice, the sausage on the side and a wedge of cornbread, all accompanied by some blues, of course.***
*Trinity – equal parts chopped celery, chopped green pepper, chopped onions. I prefer green bell peppers and red onions, and chop the inner tender celery leaves as well as the stalk.
**Rice – Cover 2 cups uncooked white rice with 4 cups water. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and simmer over lowest heat for 20 minutes, then "fluff" with fork. Do not stir rice during cooking or standing time.
•Substitute finely chopped pancetta, ham, or sausage for bacon
•Eliminate the bacon, slice & saute the sausage and vegetables, adding all to beans. •Skip the side serving of sausage. For a lower fat version, use less sausage.
•Substitute grilled pork chops or chicken for the side of sausage.
•Use pinto or black beans. You could also use kidney beans, I suppose. I don't like kidney beans, but if you do… use them.
Now for the blues***

Huracán LP610-4 Spyder
Own The Sky
Designed to cut through the air and become one with the sky, the Huracán Spyder is the pinnacle of Italian taste and hand craftsmanship, a sports car concept elevated to the performance and sensation of a coupe. The result? Behind you, the roar of the powerful V-10 engine. Above your head, an ultra lightweight soft top that opens in just 17 seconds. Ahead, only the horizon awaits.
The Lamborghini Huracan Spyder offers incredible performance, thanks to Lamborghini's ANIMA (Adaptive Network Intelligence Management) technology, which allows the car to calibrate its character and seamlessly adapt to your needs. The full potential of the Huracan Spyder is expressed in the STRADA setting, which provides a comfortable ride with maximum grip, ideal for both day-to-day use as well as longer journeys. If you're looking for thrills and fun while driving, then you will really appreciate the slightly oversteer capabilities of the SPORT setting. On the other hand, the CORSA setting allows you to enjoy a racing style drive and experiment with the Huracan Spyder top performance.
The design of the Huracan Spyder: every single element has been redesigned for the precise purpose of eliminating the roof without compromising any of the car's aerodynamics or torsional stiffness. Sculptured and sensual, its design is based on the spiky hexagonal forms of the carbon atom, while the seamless roof profile - visible even when the soft top is open - is an unmistakable part of lamborghini's DNA.
Inside, the sporty yet elegant interiors were developed to provide both ample space and exceptional comfort. Every detail is designed to make your driving experience natural and stimulating in a passenger compartment with the highest quality finish.

LOCATION: Zurich 8053, Switzerland
Professor of Mathematics, University of Zürich. Author of Science Awakening and others.
Primary Contributions (1)
the most prominent mathematician of Greco-Roman antiquity, best known for his treatise on geometry, the Elements. Life Of Euclid's life nothing is known except what the Greek philosopher Proclus (c. 410–485 ce) reports in his "summary" of famous Greek mathematicians. According to him, Euclid taught at Alexandria in the time of Ptolemy I Soter, who reigned over Egypt from 323 to 285 bce. Medieval translators and editors often confused him with the philosopher Eukleides of Megara, a contemporary of Plato about a century before, and therefore called him Megarensis. Proclus supported his date for Euclid by writing "Ptolemy once asked Euclid if there was not a shorter road to geometry than through the Elements, and Euclid replied that there was no royal road to geometry." Today few historians challenge the consensus that Euclid was older than Archimedes (c. 290–212/211 bce). Sources and contents of the Elements Euclid compiled his Elements from a number of works of earlier men. Among these...READ MORE

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Neim were among those contributors: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..

Seems it is impossible to use RadTabItem.HeaderTemplate if RatTabControl is not binded to collection.
Using Snoop i see that template itself is applied but DataContext is null. So any binding don't work in the template.
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radtabcontrol/templating/item-templates-and-selectors say "The HeaderTemplate is mainly used when we bind the RadTabControl to a collection". ). It doesn't say that it is used ONLY for collection.
HeaderForeground seem is ignored completely. Using Snoop i see that foreground is taken from some resources if i don't use HeaderTemplate.

"What about this?" Shego asked, bored out of her skull. She held up a purple sphere the size of a volleyball, with no identifying marks or features of any kind.
"Hmm," Drakken said. "Nonmetallic Gravity Bomb. Sucks in all objects not made of metal. Toss it."
"It doesn't work?"
"No, no, it works. There used to be two. I may have tested one inside a lair that was carved out of a mountain. The cave-in was, erm, quite impressive."
Shego rolled her eyes and placed it in a bin. She really, really wished she could take a vacation day or two to get out of this, but it was a clause in her contract. Part Five, Employee shall assist with every monthly inventory inspection. No exceptions.
So once a month, Shego was stuck for a day or two cataloging failed and abandoned experiments that always managed to end up in this rented warehouse. The police, GJ, even Team Possible had never managed to find it. She suspected it was because Drakken paid in cash.
"How about this?" Shego said as Drakken made notes on a clipboard. She showed him a pastel pink ray gun.
"I believe that's the S.O.S. Ray."
Shego raised an eyebrow. "Sounds a little too do-gooder to me, Dr. D."
"Oh, yes, I see. It stands for Sexual Orientation Switcher."
Shego's other eyebrow joined the first one. If they went up any higher, they'd be indistinguishable from her hair. "For WHAT?"
"It's not complicated, Shego," he said idly. "It switches your sexual orientation. Turns straight people gay, gay people straight." Drakken glanced at her. "What?"
"Why would you build such a thing?"
"For Kim Possible," Drakken replied. "I thought it might break her spirit to suddenly become an object of hatred for hundreds of millions of people across the globe."
Shego groaned. His "break her spirit" devices were always the most cockamamie. "How come I never heard about this?"
"I believe you were on vacation. It was a couple years ago. Team Possible showed up while I was working on something much bigger - one of the Lil Diablo's predecessors, I believe. By the time you broke me out of prison, I'd already moved on to something else, and I forgot about the S.O.S. Ray."
That she could believe. A lot of inventions ended up on the back burner because of his short attention span. "So you never had a chance to shoot her?"
"No, I shot her. Clearly it malfunctioned, however. I've seen Kim Possible and the buffoon on the television. They're so sweet together, it's sickening."
Shego froze. The mere existence of such a device paled before this shocking announcement.
"You shot her?"
"I believe I just said so."
"You switched Kimmie's sexual orientation?"
"Honestly Shego, could you pay attention for once? Yes, I shot her. No, I didn't make her gay. Why is this so hard to - "
She looked at him like he was stupid. It was a look she'd mastered. "Did it ever occur to you that she was gay to begin with, and that you made her straight?"
Drakken paused. "Eh, well, perhaps . . . no. But I don't even know if the ray worked in the first place. Oddly enough, none of my henchmen were willing to be guinea pigs."
Shego handed him the Ray. "Shoot me. Then shoot me again."
He gaped at her. "You're joking. You're actually submitting to be experimented on? By me?"
"Drakken," she growled.
"All right, all right, fine. Though I don't see why this is so important." He took the Ray, pointed it at her, and fired.
A pink beam hit her in the center of her chest. A seizure ripped through her body, much as it had when she was Reverse Polarized. When it stopped, Shego held up a hand and assumed a look of very deep thought. Then a grimace ripped across her face. "Okay, hit me again," she said.
"Shego - "
"In case you hadn't figured it out by now, you just made me a little different, Dr. D!" she snapped at him. "So I'd like to go back now!"
"Eep! Yes, of course!" He shot her a second time.
When she had caught her breath, she looked up into his expectant face. "So I - ?" he asked.
"Well, doc, either she's the most closeted person in North America, or you turned Kimmie into a hetero."
"Oh, irony. Why must you always be so cruel?" Drakken cried out, shaking a fist.
Shego snatched the Ray back. "I'm keeping this, IF you don't mind."
"Er, no, I don't think I will mind. Why?"
"I could tell you, but then I'd have to come close to killing you."
"On with the inventory!"
Kim sighed happily. Life was great. High school was over, the world was peaceful, Ron was sweet, and there wasn't a single dark cloud on her horizon.
"Hey there, Pumpkin."
Obviously Kim had been looking at the wrong part of the horizon. She turned around. "Shego," she sighed. "What are you doing in my bedroom?"
"Because it was there? Honestly, you could TRY to make it more of a challenge. Some day a less scrupulous woman than myself is going to put some plastic explosive under your bed, and then where will you be? Other than a thousand feet in the air, I mean?"
Kim slapped a hand over her face. She really, really hoped this wasn't an end to the truce Drakken and Shego had been observing. But the ray gun in Shego's lap didn't reassure her. "Why are you here then?"
Shego leaned back in her seat. "Tell me, Kimmie. Was there ever a day a few years ago when you looked around as the other cheerleaders were getting changed, and you realized those feelings you were having weren't normal?"
"No," Kim lied very easily, ignoring the chill that ran up her spine. "Was there ever a day when you decided you weren't going to be a pain in the ass that day?"
"Nope. So anyway, you went to bed every night after that, and you prayed to God that it wasn't true, that you couldn't possibly be gay, and if he'd pretty please with sugar on top make it go away, you'd be ever so grateful?" Shego continued.
"Shego," Kim said warningly. She was very proud of the fact that her voice didn't shake, not even a little.
"And then one morning, your prayers were answered?" Shego added quietly.
"What do you think you're doing, Shego?"
"God didn't make you straight, Kimmie. It was this." Shego held up the S.O.S. Ray. "Do you by any chance remember a mission a couple years ago? Drakken was working on one of his big robots, I was on vacation, you got shot with some ray but it had no effect on you?"
Kim could count the number of times she'd gone up against Dr. Drakken without Shego around on one hand. Of course she remembered. The big robot - looked a lot like a Lil Diablo, now that she thought about it - the henchmen, the absurd lack of difficulty, the blast that she barely . . . noticed . . .
"Does the timing of that mission mean anything to you?" Shego asked.
"Oh, no," Kim said.
Shego nodded. "Sorry, Kim. But I think Dr. D made you boringly, depressingly straight."
Kim felt the blood draining from her face. "You can't - you're not going to tell, are you?"
Shego chuckled. "Tell what? That you used to be gay? Some story! Besides, I think this one should stay under my hat. No telling what will happen if some loonies find out they can de-homo our society."
"Why are you telling me this now?"
"Doy, because I just found out today." She looked speculatively at Kim. "I bet you'd feel a lot safer if this Ray was in your possession instead of mine."
Kim nodded quickly, even though she regarded the Ray as if it were a poisonous snake.
"Well, I'll let you have it for the low, low price of one question answered truthfully."
"What is it?"
"Before," Shego asked, "before Drakken did this to you - were you ever attracted to me?"
Kim looked away. "You said this stays between us, right?"
"Cross my black little heart."
"Okay." She looked back at Shego. "Your body in that outfit? Hello?"
Shego sighed, then smiled slightly. "I guess I should be more careful choosing my vacation days in the future, Kimmie." She tossed Kim the S.O.S.
Kim caught it, then processed Shego's remarks. "Wait, what? You're trying to tell me - "
"Not entirely. I'd say eighty/twenty." Shego got up and brushed past her as she headed for the window. "I'll see you around, Kimmie. Have fun with your man."
"Shego - " Kim started again.
"Save it." She looked back just as she was about to slip outside. "You know, I don't know if you really believe in God or not, but if you do, then God made you that way for a reason. I'm just saying."
"Shego, I can't. I love him."
Shego grunted, then summoned one last smile. "Promise me - you ever think of using it again, you'll look me up."
Then she disappeared, almost as if she was afraid of hearing Kim say "no".
Kim closed the window. "Promise," she whispered.
The End
Author's Note – I was really interested in exploring the ramifications of certain Season 4 episodes, like "Stop Team Go" and "Mad Dogs and Aliens", even if it meant not writing Kigo. This story, and a few others, came along for the ride. However, by that time I had "officially" retired from the fandom, and I didn't want to pull a Brett Favre. So I didn't feel comfortable with "Allaine" posting it. Until now. This is the one I most want to write a sequel for some day.

Out of the forty or so arms seized from the SAF troopers executed by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), only about nine were returned to the authorities. The question is--is this a satisfaction of the confidence building measures being asked by Senators Ferdinand Bonging Marcos Jr and Franklin Drilon?
The MILF likewise pronounced readiness to surrender their men who reportedly violated their own codes of conduct. The only question is---since the MILF still thinks and declares itself as a revolutionary organisation, then, the actions of their men, to their view, are "revolutionary" and "political" by nature, and therefore, justified. By definition of law, such political actions cannot be deemed "criminal" because it was undertaken by the rebels in pursuit of their rebellion. What the MILF leadership failed to consider is the fact that the law has been changed and there is no such thing anymore. Their men can be prosecuted based on the Philippine judicial and criminal system.
Of course, the MILF leadership would dispute this and say that their men cannot be put under the jurisdiction of the Philippine government, because doing so, harms their belligerency status. What am I saying?
Eventually, there would come a point where the Philippine government would try and exercise its jurisdiction over these MILF fighters involved in the execution of these SAF troopers. The only question is---do we have a leadership that would assert itself over this MILF position? That is one unanswered question.
The core issue is simple--do we have a government capable of defending our interests against external and internal threats?
Likewise--do we have a credible government that the people believe in, and is highly desirous to effect a transition of power in a fair manner come 2016?
These are just some of the questions that need answers.
Administration allies like Trillanes are floating coup rumours to tie the hands of groups who want to demonstrate and show their anger over the Mamasapano massacre. Trillanes is floating it to in effect, try to give the administration some breathing room to at least manoeuvre on how best to come out with a report about the incident.
Meaning, a coup rumour is being used as a tool to frighten those groups who are thinking of making a move in protest over the apparent failure of leadership as shown in the handling of the Mamasapano massacre.
The most ideal is simply the most contentious--which is, present these killers before the bar of justice and mete to them the most severe of all penalties under the law.

Chicago partner John Dames was interviewed by Law360 on some of the more significant and memorable aspects of his career to date.
John, head of the Products Liability & Mass Tort Practice Group, described the scope and complexity of the most challenging lawsuit he has worked on and his trial preparation routine.
In discussing his trial preparation, John said he conducts a fresh "review [of] the original material and not the digested version shortly before the trial begins" to clarify "nuances of testimony, some sequence of events or some flow in a witness version of the history[.]"
John also recounted his experience with a particularly "smart, quick, thoroughly familiar" trial judge, whose active and exacting manner provided a "valuable reminder for every trial lawyer." He also described the characteristics and nuances of fellow litigators he has faced at trial, including one who would "try something new (at least against me) every time."
When asked about any learning curves early in his career, John noted: "Each trial, each trial day contains a number of surprises which must be digested."

text: I noticed that this is posted already for the HTC tattoo, but both my wife and I are having the same issue on our Verizon (USA) Incredibles, so I thought I'd post here. The problem seems to happen more often since the 2.2 update. Custom ringtones for individuals, as well as default ringtone, change for no reason, as do notifications. I typically set my notification at zero volume plus vibrate, then the next day I'll hear a notification go off, and find in the settings that the checkbox for using the same volume for notifications as ringtones is checked again. So I have to uncheck it, and slide the notification volume back to zero. Is there some way to lock my settings?

Strategic asset allocation should be anchored in valuation, says Schroders
Schroders argues that traditional asset allocation frameworks lead to inefficiencies, as managers do not have the scope to fully respond to changing market conditions.
Instead, Schroders advocates a conditional approach to asset allocation, under which the valuation of assets is the key factor determining their inclusion in a portfolio.
Chris Durack, chief executive officer, Hong Kong, and head of institutional business, Asia Pacific at Schroders, says: "The standard model of investing is predicated on having a long run strategic asset allocation based on assumptions about long-term returns, long-term volatility and the way asset classes are correlated with one and other over long periods of time."
"But as we all know markets move around and what tends to drive markets, in terms of their forward returns over time, is the valuation that you buy an asset class at to begin with."
He explains that if equities are cheap, the likelihood that you will get a better return over the subsequent three-year period is higher than when they are expensive.
"We have looked into global equity market returns over the last 40 years. Average annualised three-year return would be 17%, when entry made at 14 times price-to-earnings, compared to 3.7% when investing at price-to-earnings of 24 times or above*. There is a very strong causal effect between starting value and subsequent return," he says.
He adds that while this approach may seem obvious, in many cases managers keep buying assets regardless of their valuation because that is what their strategy dictates, even when markets become expensive.
"Making sure you are buying assets because of their individual contribution to the overall portfolio objective is a fundamentally different way of thinking about an investment problem," Mr. Durack says.
A key part of Schroders' conditional asset allocation strategy is giving managers the flexibility to invest where they see value, without them being restricted by a traditional asset allocation framework, such as holding 60% equities, 40% bonds.
Mr. Durack says: "You need a more flexible approach to investing. A fixed asset allocation approach is not efficient because it is not really taking into account all of the available information that you have."
"Our contention is that it makes sense to alter your behaviour in response to market conditions and with a fixed asset allocation strategy, you can't do that. You want to skew the odds in your favour. More flexible portfolio designs that allow the manager to hold cash when markets are more expensive, provide the optionality to reinvest in markets when they become cheaper again," Mr. Durack points out, adding that he thinks Schroders' conditional asset allocation strategy is particularly suited to pension investors, as they need to earn a real rate of return over a fixed period of time, and this cannot always be achieved through a fixed asset allocation strategy.
Research carried out by Schroders found that while a traditional 60%/40% balanced portfolio has tended to earn an annual real rate of return of around 4-5% over the long-term, the rate earned by an individual investor is actually very dependent on the period of time in which they invested.
Mr. Durack contends that in the current investment environment, where return expectations are lower, investors need to take advantage of the variations in asset class returns by buying those asset classes when they are cheaper than their long run average.
"If you think about it as being a distribution of outcomes through time, buying at the cheaper end of the distribution will give you a bit of a tail wind. If you apply that technique across a wide range of asset classes you give yourself more opportunities to find where that good value is," he says.
Mr. Durack continues: "For someone who is saving for their retirement, the benefit of applying that approach is to achieve hopefully more consistency around the core investment objective they have, rather than lose confidence in the highly volatile outcomes and have a funding shortfall when it comes to retirement."
The group's objective-based strategy has been popular with both institutional and retail investors in the UK and Australia and it is starting to gain traction in Hong Kong and the rest of Asia.
"If you look at the pattern of demographics and the importance of focusing on what people are really trying to achieve and how much time have they got, this is the strategy to consider," says. Mr. Durack.
"We think given the current environment there is going to be more focus on asking fund managers to invest in this way," he concludes.

Services Offered
The professionally-trained Video Madness film crew appreciates the need to be low-profile—not only will they be appropriately dressed for your event, but their top-of-the-line gear enables them to produce a quality film without blinding lights or a socially intrusive presence. But while cutting-edge equipment may be impressive, it is not sufficient by itself to create a great film. Using their 20+ years of experience and artistic sensibilities, Video Madness makes the composition, framing, shot selection, and editing choices that are essential to create a truly moving portrait of your event.
Their packages fit a wide range of budgets and styles:
- Elite Reserve packages are multi-camera packages featuring cinematic HD-DSLR cameras, modern film editing, and the personal services of owner/director Bob Farnsworth for a truly stunning motion picture of your event.
- Standard Level packages feature HD cameras and beautiful recaps.
- Economy Level packages feature HD cameras and minimal editing.
Video Madness offers many options, including Same Day Edits (SDE), Teaser Trailers delivered just days after the event, and even photo albums. Because they shoot in high-definition, Video Madness has the ability to use video stills to create high-resolution print photos and magazine-style photo albums.
Questions and Answers
About This Company
Since 1989, over 2500 Bay Area events have made Video Madness a very trusted name in wedding images. Owner Bob Farnsworth has always loved using cutting edge tools to deliver an emotional and artistic wedding film. He tells us:
"I have always believed that Bay Area couples appreciate cutting edge technology more than the average couple. I went digital, then to HD, and to HD-DSLR before few if any of my peers made the move. The most recent advent of HD- DSLR cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II have really catapulted videographers into the film world, and have given couples amazing choices for their events. The look and feel of these cameras and films really allow us to create something that looks incredible. These are very exciting times. Many new companies, in business for less than 5 years, offer HD-DSLR short films—but few have the skill set to document the entire day including quality audio. Experience cannot be replaced. Be sure the experience level of the company is up to capturing long as well as short forms."
"Offering a mix of services is something I have always believed in. It would be easier in many ways to just deliver our Elite Reserve packages. The level of detail and client involvement is terrific. But that would leave out many couples, relegating them to hiring inexperienced newcomers or less capable companies. Worse, they may opt to do nothing. Offering economy services carries a challenge for us. But we manage to make the vast majority of our clients quite happy."
"Ask yourself this before opting for a subpar company: If I could magically hand you a professional DVD of your great grandmothers wedding film, or her photo album, but not both—what would you choose? On weekends, do you visit photo galleries or attend the movies? Nothing brings you into an event like film. Don't let this opportunity slip away. Weddings offer a unique and valuable chance for the most important people in your life to be documented forever. Let us help".

By Brian Ives
This year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction class may have seemed, on paper, to be a a pretty drama free group of artists. With Classic Rock and Classic Hits radio staples Chicago, Steve Miller, Cheap Trick and Deep Purple on the list, some fans may have thought that the event would be rather straight ahead, as opposed to past years when KISS fought loudly with the Rock Hall, or Blondie fought loudly with each other.
Surprisingly, this year there are a number of story lines and decades-long rifts that played out on stage and in the pressroom.
In fact, the only inductee with very little drama happened to be one of the most controversial groups of all time: N.W.A. And even they started a new beef (albeit a minor one) from the stage of the event itself.
So, if you're tuning in to the broadcast of this year's induction ceremony on HBO this Saturday night at 8 pm ET/PT, here's the backstories for each inductee.
Chicago: Often regarded as a "soft-rock" band, no one expected much controversy from them. But, in the weeks after their induction was announced, it seemed like there were new developments every day, many of which kicked off with Radio.com's interview with founding keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm. Lamm told us that founding bass player/singer Peter Cetera, who quit the band in 1985, would perform with the group at the ceremony. However, the very next day, Lamm said that Cetera "emphatically declined" the invitation to perform. Cetera soon changed his mind, saying that he said he "might" perform with them… if and only if they played "25 or 6 to 4" in the key of E. Alas, after that, he changed his mind again and backed out of the performance.
However, the band did reunite with original drummer Danny Seraphine, who sat behind the kit for them that night for the first time since he left the band in 1990, and who colorfully introduced himself from the stage by saying, "I'm Danny f—in' Seraphine!" Cetera did not attend the ceremony.

Steve Miller: Steve Miller has gotten a reputation for being something of a curmudgeon over the decades, but his acceptance speech was surprisingly tame, other than a pointed mention that the Hall of Fame should be more inclusive of women and that there should be more transparency in the nominating process. However, when he spoke to the press backstage, things got considerably uglier, with Miller complaining that he only received two tickets for the event (and didn't receive any for the members of the Steve Miller Band). Afterwards, he ranted a bit more in a brief interview with Rolling Stone, saying that "This whole industry is f—in' gangsters and crooks!"
After that, Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, who presented Miller, said "For [Black Keys drummer] Pat [Carney] and I, honestly, the most unpleasant part was being around him," and said that they regretted being a part of the event.
Cheap Trick: The power-pop legends had some pretty obvious conflict going into the big night: a few years ago, they pushed founding drummer Bun E. Carlos out of the band, replacing him with guitarist Rick Nielsen's son Daxx. Carlos and his ex-bandmates have fought in court, and now Carlos is legally a member of the band, although he neither records nor tours with them. But Carlos was to be inducted with the group, and performed with them, perhaps for the last time. In a Rolling Stone interview, the drummer said, "Any friendship we had went away when I had to file a federal lawsuit. That cost a bucket of f—ing money. Going after these guys wasn't pleasant. The friendship sort of frittered away there."
The speeches were mostly nice, although frontman Robin Zander talked about "backstabbing and corruption in the business – and that's just the road crew," adding cryptically, "I think you know what I'm talking about." From there, handed the podium to Carlos, who made no reference to the band's issues.
Deep Purple: With members from three different lineups included in the induction, there was bound to be drama here, and there was. Original guitarist Ritchie Blackmore left the band in 1993, but played on all of the band's most celebrated songs. The band, however, were sore that Steve Morse, who replaced Blackmore, wasn't being included in the induction; they said that they'd only perform with Morse. Longtime singer Ian Gillan likened the situation to being invited to a wedding under the conditions that he couldn't bring his family, and had to sit with his ex-wife. Blackmore ultimately decided not to show up. The current version of the band – founding drummer Ian Paice, Gillan and bassist Roger Glover, all from the celebrated "Mark II" lineup, along with Morse and keyboardist Don Airey (who joined in 2001) performed. They also shared a table with "Mark III" singer David Coverdale and bassist/singer Glenn Hughes, who didn't perform with the band (but they did join Cheap Trick for an all-star jam on "Ain't That a Shame" later in the night). Original singer Rod Evans, who was fired from the band in 1969, was a no-show as well. For more on Purple's drama, read our article, "Deep Purple Rock Hall Drama: Explained."

N.W.A.: As mentioned above, the vibes between the former N.W.A. members – Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella – were all good. They even had Eazy-E's mother on stage with them. And that's a testament to the healing powers of time: Cube, who left N.W.A. in 1989, wrote what was possibly the harshest diss track ever about his ex-bandmates with 1991's "No Vaseline." Sadly, the group did not perform at the event (Ren and Yella joined Cube at his Coachella performance the following weekend; the weekend after that, Ren, Yella and Dre were all there, marking the first performance by the four surviving members of the group).
But during his induction speech, MC Ren called out Gene Simmons of KISS, who has complained about hip-hop artists being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (notably in this interview with Radio.com). Ren said, "I want to say to Mr. Gene Simmons, hip-hop is here forever. we're supposed to be here!" After that, Cube added, "The question is, are we rock and roll? I say, you're goddamn right we're rock and roll! Rock and roll is not an instrument, it's not even a style of music, it's a spirit. It's been going since the blues, jazz, be-bop, rock and roll, punk rock, heavy metal and yes, hip hop! What connects us all is that spirit. Rock and roll is not conforming to the people who came before you, but creating your own path in music and in life. That is rock and roll and that is us! So: rock and roll is not conforming, rock and roll is outside the box , rock and roll is N.W.A.! " That led to a brief twitter back and forth between Cube and Simmons, which seemed to blow over pretty quickly.
Tune in to HBO on Saturday night to see the highlights of the speeches and performances. And check out our take on who should get in next year: we have six metal icons, five hip-hop artists, and fourteen alternative rock acts (including, mainly, Jane's Addiction).

13 Days of the Doctor- Peter Capaldi!
Here's the last of the Doctors, Peter Capaldi. This is another one I did a year or so ago, but as I still like it I'm going to use it for the new print rather than do another one.
Speaking of the new print, not all the studies I shared over the last two weeks will make the final cut. Some need tweaking and one or two I have soured on, and will redo. So, when the print is released don't be surprised if some of the caricatures of the Doctors are changed or altogether different from these studies.

"Myths from the family tree"
I liked when the author would explain the research process; how community is formed, and resources shared.
The least interesting were things about the Obama family, a lot of time was spent going over Michelle's roots.
She brings exactly the type of tone you want for this narration. She uses punctuation well top set up pacing and articulates very cleanly.
The tone is orated in such a gentle setting that it is fine for playing in the background or given full attention.
It should inspire people to get started on reaching out to their relatives and finding out their past.
"Great learning aid."
This book leads you through different senarios for finding your ancestors and work-arounds to make it easier.

What's Changed for Broncos, Ravens Since 2013 Playoff Matchup?September 5, 2013
What's Changed for Broncos, Ravens Since 2013 Playoff Matchup?
The AFC divisional round game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Denver Broncos had everything you need to make an instant classic.
There were return touchdowns, long passing touchdowns, well-orchestrated drives, huge defensive plays, overtime, a game-winning field goal and a compelling storyline centered around two of the sport's greatest players.
Oh, and a ridiculous 70-yard touchdown that shocked the Denver crowd, sent the game into overtime and has a catchy name that the game will hereafter be known as: "Mile High Miracle."
But that was last season.
Both teams have moved past the game voted the best NFL game of the 2012.
The Broncos want to forget that it ever happened, a feeling that Baltimore can sympathize with after their similarly gut-wrenching loss in the 2011 AFC Championship Game.
Likewise, head coach John Harbaugh and his Ravens want to avoid any kind of "Super Bowl hangover." There has been no talk of repeating—no bravado about how the road to the Super Bowl goes through Baltimore. All eyes are looking forward.
The game that will kick off the 2013 season is a rematch of that epic game only in terms of the franchises that are playing. Both teams have undergone changes, some more drastic than others.
Here is a recap of those changes, for both teams, to get you ready for the big game.
Denver Broncos: Peyton Manning To...Wes Welker?
The biggest offseason addition for the Denver Broncos was the free-agent signing of Wes Welker. General manager John Elway managed to find Peyton Manning a new toy to play with while weakening one of the Broncos' biggest threats in the AFC, the New England Patriots, in one fell swoop.
It will be strange to see Welker catching passes from Manning, but it should be an easy transition for the receiver. Just your everyday move from Hall of Fame quarterback to Hall of Fame quarterback (it doesn't always work out like that. Just ask Greg Jennings how he's doing).
Welker has caught over 100 passes in five of the past six years and has led the league in yards after the catch in three of those seasons. He has been the best slot receiver and chain-mover in the league over that span.
When the teams faced each other in the playoffs, that role fell to Brandon Stokley (who is ironically now a Raven). Stokley even scored a tough touchdown in that game, but Welker is a dangerous weapon who will make the Broncos passing game that much better—something that is hard to believe.
His addition gives the Broncos the best wide receiver trio in the NFL and makes a passing game led by No. 18 lightning in a bottle.
Baltimore Ravens: The Return of Lardarius Webb
Lardarius Webb was unavailable for both of the Broncos games last year. As the team's best cornerback, he is a huge addition to the defense and will be playing a large role in containing the Denver offense.
He was playing at an elite level before his 2012 season was ended by a torn ACL, and ProFootballFocus calculated that quarterbacks had a passer rating of 42.2 against his coverage (subscription required). Only Casey Hayward forced a lower rating.
Webb is a shutdown corner, and the Ravens aren't afraid to leave him on an island with great receivers. His presence will allow defensive coordinator Dean Pees to be more aggressive with his blitzes (some of which may include Webb).
While he isn't a household name, Webb is one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL, and he's now the leader of the secondary.
Denver Broncos: Adam Gase, Their New Offensive Coordinator
When former play-caller Mike McCoy accepted the head coaching job for the San Diego Chargers, he left a vacancy that many offensive coordinators salivated over.
The Broncos met with Ken Whisenhunt and Pat Shurmur, per Mike Klis of The Denver Post.
Instead, head coach John Fox promoted from within. Adam Gase was the quarterbacks coach for the Broncos' last year, and despite his youth (he's 34, ergo younger than his starting quarterback), he has an impressive resume.
He has worked with Nick Saban, Mike Martz, Josh McDaniels and Joe Vitt. He was hired out of high school by the Baltimore Ravens' current defensive coordinator, Dean Pees.
Gase won't have to change much in an offense that finished last season ranked second in points per game, fourth in total yards and third in both first downs and third-down efficiency.
One aspect that the new assistant coach has been vocal about is playing at a higher tempo, and if the preseason is any indication, he has already reached his objective. The Broncos ran 40 plays in the first half against the Seattle Seahawks and improved that number to 49 against the St. Louis Rams.
Such a rapid pace combined with a legendary quarterback who loves to play fast is ominous for opposing defenses.
Baltimore Ravens: A Full Year of Jim Caldwell
Jim Caldwell had no time to make any substantive changes to the offense when he took over in Week 15 last year. He only tweaked the play-calling, but the results were devastating for the opposition.
While the sample size is small, they averaged 31 points per playoff game and were a markedly better unit than under Cam Cameron. They were running the ball more, riding their one-two punch of Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce. Caldwell's conviction to emphasize the running game also opened up the big plays for Joe Flacco.
Caldwell showed more faith in Flacco, allowing him to run more of the no-huddle offense, and Flacco responded with an MVP playoff run.
With a full offseason to work with the team, Caldwell had the chance to make some changes, and the offense might look a little different when it takes the field in Denver. Like Gase, Caldwell has focused on playing at a higher tempo and running more no-huddle offense, putting more responsibility on Flacco to read the defense and make the right plays.
Denver Broncos: A Healthy Ryan Clady
Ryan Clady is coming off a Pro Bowl year, and he just signed a five-year, $57.5 million contract to stay in Denver for the foreseeable future. He is also healthy, which wasn't the case when these two teams met in the playoffs—and it showed.
Clady allowed only one sack over the entire regular season, but he got beaten by Terrell Suggs twice in that divisional round game.
Now that he has recovered from offseason shoulder surgery, he will have his hands full in his return to the gridiron. Clady gets to go up against Suggs again, but in addition, he'll be facing his former teammate, Elvis Dumervil.
Clady is one of the best left tackles in the game, and he'll be matched up against the most accomplished pass-rushing duo in the NFL right now. It should make for an entertaining battle.
Baltimore Ravens: Questions in the Receiving Corps
The changes in Baltimore aren't just restricted to the defense. Anquan Boldin and Dennis Pitta (first and second, respectively on the team last year in receptions) aren't playing for Baltimore for differing reasons.
As a result, there are changes all across the Ravens' receiving depth chart.
Torrey Smith is now the unquestioned No. 1 receiver, and he'll have to handle the added defensive attention. Jacoby Jones will be the secondary receiver, a role where he has had some difficulties in the past.
Brandon Stokley and Dallas Clark will be playing their first full game with Joe Flacco, and Ed Dickson was promoted to the No. 1 tight end position. Additionally, Marlon Brown and Aaron Mellette will get some offensive snaps at receiver after impressing in the preseason.
The combination of receivers that offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell will use is unknown at this point, but it will be a big change for the high-powered offense that outdueled Peyton Manning in Denver.
Denver Broncos: A Severely Weakened Pass Rush
The circumstances surrounding Elvis Dumervil's departure from the Denver Broncos are well-known. On the contrary, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that, according to sources, there is some mystery surrounding Von Miller's suspension.
Miller was initially suspended four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy, although it wasn't for a positive test—it was for a diluted sample. After Miller tried to appeal the suspension, it was extended to a six-game ban, and that's the way it currently stands.
Dumervil and Miller accounted for 89 quarterback hurries and almost 60 percent of the team's sacks. While there are still talented players in the front seven, it is asking too much of Wesley Woodyard, Derek Wolfe and Shaun Phillips to make up for that kind of pressure.
Hurrying Joe Flacco will be crucial in trying to disrupt the big-play potential of the Ravens' passing game, but whether they can achieve that goal remains to be seen.
Baltimore Ravens: A Revamped Defense
Peyton Manning doesn't want to talk about the "Mile High Miracle." He doesn't want to revisit that game (understandably so), and he won't have to.
When Manning steps onto the field for the first time, it will be an almost entirely different defense looking back at him compared to the unit that left Denver victorious in January.
Depending on the package the Ravens run, there could be as many as eight new starters. They will be wearing the same jerseys, but for all intents and purposes, this is a completely different defense than the one Manning faced twice last year.
This means there are two things to watch for in the first game of the year. Firstly, how well do the Ravens defenders play together, and are there any communication problems? Secondly, how does Manning adjust to a defense that he hasn't seen before?
The defense should be able to get consistent pressure, while remaining stout against the run. The real test is for the secondary that has to face a Hall of Fame quarterback and three wide receivers who each had over 1,000 receiving yards last year.

If your water heater is leaking or not heating up, you may be able to repair it rather than replace it.
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your water heater, and some repairs, such as replacing a pressure-relief valve or heating element are pretty simple. However, if you have a leak, if your water heater is older than 8-12 years, or you just wish to upgrade and cut your energy expense, it is time for a new heater. Follow our tips to troubleshoot your gas or electric water heater issues and learn how long a water heater should last.
Based on the manufacturer's suggested service life, the life expectancy of a water heater is about 8 to 12 years. That varies with the location and design of the unit, quality of installation, maintenance schedule and water quality.
If your water heater is more than 10 years old, leaks around the base of the tank, and / or works erratically or not at all, it's probably time for replacement. However, before you begin the replacement process, make sure that an electrical problem, such as a blown fuse or tripped breaker, is not the reason for the unit's failure.
Perhaps the most common problem connected with a water heater is water that isn't as hot as you want it to be. This is usually caused by a faulty thermostat or a defective heating element. Check the following when your water is not hot enough:
Electric water heater
Gas water heater
Other common problems and possible solutions
Today's water heaters are manufactured to require little or no maintenance, but these maintenance tips could prolong the life of your water heater:
For more information: Maintain a Water Heater
If you're replacing a water heater, you can replace it with the same type of unit. However, upgrade possibilities should be considered. For example, you may choose to increase or decrease the unit's holding capacity to accommodate a changing family. Or, you may opt to go tankless.
When looking for a water heater, consider these features:
Before making repairs or purchasing a new water heater, check the nameplate on the side of your current unit. Here you will find helpful information including the tank capacity, insulation R-value, installation guidelines, working pressure, model and serial number. If you have an electric water heater, the nameplate will also list the wattage capacity and voltage of the heating elements.
This information will serve as the starting point in your search for replacement parts or a new water heater. For help choosing a water heater, read our Water Heater Buying Guide.
Answer these questions to determine whether or not you want to tackle water heater installation:
For detailed steps on how to replace or install a water heater, read our Install an Electric Water Heater and Install a Gas Water Heater articles.
Make sure your home is equipped with carbon monoxide detectors when gas-powered appliances are present.

Thanks, Roderick!
Pingback: Cordial and Sanguine, Part 33: A Choice, Not an Ecch()
What business does this Carson fellow have outdoing himself? Bad form, old chap. Very good piece, though.
Thanks, Joe, but yeah, I know. It's not sportsmanlike to keep running up the score.
"As a consumer, Julia will pay prices consisting largely of rents on artificial scarcity enforced by the state… She'll buy sneakers with a $195 brand-name premium over the $5 the sweatshop charged to make them, and a camera whose price comes mainly from embedded patent rents rather than actual parts and labor. She'll pay a markup of about 20% as the result of price-fixing on goods manufactured in oligopoly industries."
You're making an artificial distinction between markets and the rules and institutions that develop in and around them. I get why. You may want to be able to argue that those things are imposed by nefarious actors looking to constrain choice and extract rents. To some extent this is true, but you're only telling half the story.
People pay $200 for Nikes to show other people that they can afford $200 Nikes. People value the ability to signal and in a market economy, anything with value will come to be priced accordingly. It is basically just a form of price discrimination in which certain brands are able to capture and increasing level of producer surplus. Once that happens you're going to start to develop a economic, social, and legal framework that supports this.
Some might argue that the desire to signal through over-paying for consumer gods is the manifestation of some character defect bred specifically into us by the organs of state capital in order to keep us chasing an unattainable end on some eternal treadmill. That, however, just begs the question of how those organs came to develop and gain power in the first place.
It's true that signaling is one reason that people pay markups. But there are also plenty of people who don't much care about signaling and would be happy to pay lower prices if they could. We see a nice example in the fashion industry, where there's no real IP protection, and the expensive originals do sell, but those who either can't afford the originals or don't care can buy cheap knockoffs — so that works out ok for both groups of customers. But when IP protection makes cheap knockoffs illegal, the second group is out of luck.
Absolutely. And there are all sort of ways that people who don't care about signalling are coerced into paying more for attributes that they don't really care about. It's just important to remember that consumer choice is as much a factor in getting us to our present equilibrium as are the effects of state capital.
All to often, libertarians across the diaspora do this thing where we list of all the good things and attribute them to choice and free exchange and then list all the bad things and blame them on state coercion or corporatist rent-seeking.
I accept the "mutualist" label myself, but I'm also a contrarian by nature, so here goes.
Competition would drive the prices Julia pays down to the actual cost of production.
Competition does not drive prices to the cost of production in a free market, and we wouldn't like it if it did. Producers seek profit, i.e. they continually reorganize resources toward more profitable organization. Ideally, profit measures added value, the difference between consumers' valuation of productive inputs and outputs, so seeking profit seeks greater consumer satisfaction. A market without profit and profit seeking would be a very dull market.
Of course, profit can also measure successful rent seeking, and this sort of profit does not add value.

Georgia at Ole Miss - 9/24/16 College Football Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Georgia Bulldogs (3-0) at Ole Miss Rebels (1-2)
College Football: Saturday, September 24, 2016 at 12:00 pm (Vaught-Hemingway Stadium)
The Line: Ole Miss Rebels -6.5 -- Over/Under: 62 See the Latest Odds
The Georgia Bulldogs and Ole Miss Rebels square off Saturday afternoon in a key SEC matchup at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on ESPN.
The Georgia Bulldogs look for back-to-back road wins and to improve on their solid 3-0 start. Jacob Eason is completing 55.2 percent of his passes for 643 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions. Eason enters this game with 87 career pass attempts under his belt. Isaiah McKenzie and Terry Godwin have combined for 443 receiving yards and four touchdowns while Michael Chigbu has six receptions. The Georgia Bulldogs ground game is averaging 185.6 yards per contest, and Nick Chubb leads the way with 365 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively, Georgia is allowing 25 points and 340.7 yards per game. Natrez Patrick leads the Bulldogs with 20 tackles, Aaron Davis has one sack and Juwuan Briscoe has two interceptions.
USA TODAY Sports
The Ole Miss Rebels are in need of a big victory after a frustrating 1-2 start to the season. Chad Kelly is completing 63.2 percent of his passes for 953 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. Kelly has three or more touchdown passes in four straight games. Evan Engram and Damore'ea Stringfellow have combined for 470 receiving yards and four touchdowns while Van Jefferson has 12 receptions. The Ole Miss Rebels ground game is averaging 114 yards per contest, and Akeem Judd leads the way with 153 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, Ole Miss is allowing 35.3 points and 459 yards per game. Terry Caldwell leads the Rebels with 24 tackles, Marquis Haynes has two sacks and Montrell Custis has two pass deflections.
The Bulldogs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 conference games. The Rebels are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. The Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Mississippi and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings overall.
Despite the losses, Ole Miss has impressed me big time, as it outplayed Florida State and Alabama before falling apart in the fourth quarter. The Rebels could easily be 3-0 with wins over two top-10 teams and should be able to come into this contest with confidence. Georgia has been barely skating by against subpar teams and doesn't have the pass rush to bother Kelly in the pocket. Have to side with the home team by a touchdown.
