President Goodluck Jonathan paid a surprise visit to the Police College, Ikeja, Lagos, on Friday, and witnessed the scandalous living condition of the cadets.
The president was shown looking shocked and possibly angry in the pictures published by the media. Why was he surprised? Is this not the consequence of the corruption everyone has been talking and writing about, and the president has not as much as acknowledged? Probably, the kennels where the dogs live are far neater and infinitely more hospitable than the barbaric accommodation provided for the cadets of the Police College, Ikeja.
But, again, why was the president shocked? A recently graduated policeman from Kaduna Police College says what was revealed in the Ikeja Police College is far better than the Kaduna Police College. At the Kaduna Police College, some of the cadets sleep on tables and slabs.
If the police have been doing so badly, it was logical to assume the president would have attempted to find out why a long time ago. Maybe the president also does not know that on top of the barbarism of their living conditions, the cadets are also paid N3,500 (three thousand five hundred naira) monthly. Some government establishments have obviously forgotten that N18,000 is the official minimum wage in the country. And when they graduate, they are paid N42,000 monthly. And this is a country where N2.6 trillion was stolen in a single year in a single expense unit and more than N100 billion has been stolen from the pension fund.
Should we then be surprised that the police have been unable to tackle the Niger Delta militants, MASSOB, Boko Haram, armed robbers, kidnappers, ritualists? And, indeed, why are we surprised that the Nigeria Police Force is one of the most corrupt state institutions in the world? At a police checkpoint out of Abuja, people are being openly asked by the policemen there to give them "something for the boys". When asked why they were doing that "nonsense", they reple that most of the time when their stations hand over vehicles to them for patrol, they do not give them fuel or money to fuel the vehicles. Is this how to run a country?
But let's be serious. How much of the appropriated budget does the Jonathan government actually disburse to the police every year? There is the need to make these figures public or maybe the National Assembly should force the police to make the figures public. In the year that N2.6 trillion was stolen, only 18% of the police budget was actually disbursed to them. The following year, less than 10% was disbursed. The president should therefore start directing his anger elsewhere. He needs to ask (or maybe he already knows) why the police do not get the funds legitimately appropriated for them. How far does the president expect any government agency to go with just 18% of its appropriated budget? Agreed, even out of this 18% or 10%, more than half would still be stolen by the police high command. But how do you blame the houseboy for stealing when he knows that the oga is stealing much more than him?
But it is still good news that the president decided to pay that surprise visit to the Police College, Ikeja. In Nigeria, surprise visits have been deployed by serious heads of state to know the true situation on ground. So, maybe President Jonathan has now decided to change his style of governance. Probably, even with this surprise visit and the president's apparent indignation at what he saw at the Police College, Ikeja, he will do nothing and, therefore, nothing will change. But it is still possible that this is the beginning of a new dawn. That will be very good for the president, but even more so for all of us since, as it now appears, we are stuck with this president for the next 28 months.
The president must urgently start paying more surprise visits. Let him start with the East-West road that Reverend Hyacinth Egbedo told him about during the late General Azazi's funeral and for which the president was quite upset with the man of God. Reverend Egbedo said such projects were abandoned because of corruption and that was what piqued the president. In inspecting the road, let the president ask his aides to dig up the information on the sheer amount of funds that has been disbursed for the road construction so far.
And instead of making his disagreement with Governor Rotimi Amaechi personal, let him also find out whether the Rivers State governor is saying the truth or not. Governor Amaechi has described Elder Godsday Orubebe, the minister of Niger Delta, as a failure who has been unable to complete one single road project. This is a very serious allegation coming from a governor who, warts and all, is performing well. Shouldn't the president pay a surprise visit to ascertain whether Amaechi's allegation is true or not? Not one single ministry has received nearly as much favour in terms of federal allocation as the Niger Delta Ministry since President Jonathan came to power. Let the president simply cut the crap and find out between Amaechi and Orubebe who is on the side of the nation.
Apart from the Niger Delta Ministry under Orubebe, 100% of NDDC projects in the universities in the Niger Delta area have been abandoned. The president should pay a surprise visit to all these places and find out for himself.
Let the president also pay a surprise visit to the teaching hospitals and find out why, in spite of all the allocations of the last several years, the bed sheets, mattresses and equipment in most of the teaching hospitals were the last ones supplied by the PTF before PDP came to power in 1999. He shouldn't ask for reports; he should simply pay a surprise visit to the hospitals the same way he did to the Police College, Ikeja, and see for himself.
And let the president also pay a surprise visit to the universities. Many of them are not better than what we saw at the police college. Some of the University of Maiduguri students sleep on bare floor, as do the University of Calabar students at the Malabo Republic Hostel, wittily so named because of its closeness to Equitorial Guinea. At the University of Maiduguri, a laundry was converted to a hostel. At the Ahmadu Bello University's Asmau Mustapha Hall, there are 529 students to one toilet. The hostel, which was built to accommodate 312 students, now accommodates more than 3,178 students, thus an average of 529 students to a toilet. What a shame! These pieces of information and other more disturbing revelations are contained in the report of the needs assessment committee set up by the federal government, i.e., by Jonathan himself.
On Thursday, a day before the president's surprise visit to the police college, a coalition of civil society organisations under the aegis of Independent Service Delivery Monitoring Group (SDMG) met in Abuja to discuss the future of tertiary education in Nigeria. They ended their meeting with a strong message, calling on the president to implement the report of his own needs assessment committee on the Nigerian public universities.
All these are the direct effects of corruption. No public officeholder or civil servant fears anyone anymore. Even the small boys in the ministries ask for bribes openly and challenge you to tell their minister or the president "if you like". And, by the way, why hasn't the minister of police affairs found out what the president just discovered at the Police College, Ikeja?
Mr. President, Nigeria is falling apart under your watch. And we should not be surprised that the youths of this country are increasingly taking up arms against the state. This is what would happen in any country where N2.6 trillion could be stolen and nothing happens or where N2.4 trillion was "expended" during Obasanjo's government days to provide electricity and all we got was a change of name from NEPA to PHCN.

Today's Independent Love Song is chosen by Zoë and Tom whose gorgeous festival wedding we featured earlier.
It's a feel good song to partner their feel good wedding – Oo la love, I've fallen in love! Just lovely!
This is an awesome alternative love song for a festival wedding.
Over to Zoë…………
'Our first dance was 'I would do anything for you' by Foster the People
We actually didn't decide until the day before that we were going to go with this song (nothing like last minute!). I'd been listening to the album at work and absolutely loved the song but Tom, being Tom, wasn't keen and thought he could find something better so I left it up to him, along comes the week before the wedding and he still hadn't found anything. So the day before, my sister asked what was going to be our first dance, I said I liked the Foster the People song and played it to her….and started crying….so that was it, Tom said as I was crying then it would have to be our first dance!'
Congratulations Zoë and Tom!
Big Sunshine Love

I've also warned in the past about how the medical schools have either abandoned or largely altered the Hippocratic Oath of "First, do no harm."
This story, Los Angeles DCFS trying to take our grandson. Need attorney, [that's been pulled, here's a cache screen capture] appeared as a plea for help at Free Republic by a grandparent.
It involves a baby having been scooped up by CPS in Los Angeles due to the charges being raised on basis of a remote possibility. But there's even more danger involved, as one commenter suggested in their offer of help.
This is the best advice, but your son needs to lawyer up and so does your grandbaby.
That baby will need his own lawyer in order to protect him from DCFS if they decide his medical treatment offers no basic improvement in his "quality" of life and that he would be better off dead.
Not only does your son need to be protected from trumped up criminal charges, the baby needs to be protected from anti-life murderers who do not value his intrinsic human worth. The "helping" professions are infested with them.
This is the sort of development of which I've been alert for over 2 decades now. The public, if it gathers together locally, can bring a temporary end to such excesses, and force the craven scum to backs off (sometimes.) The public must get involved until the upside down institutions are righted again. Sadly we've allowed them to become run by the power-mad. Their anti-human forces will work their mischief in the absence of push from the grassroots.
If America still has a shred of its historical moral base, then it still believes the strong must defend the weak from predators; this is a prime example. Do what you can to raise awareness before the bureaucratic grim reaper comes to visit you or one of those you love.

Georgia Ports Authority crane operators have a new state-of-the-art training tool — a virtual reality crane simulator that operates much like those used to train pilots.
Built by GlobalSim, the simulator features three-dimensional cabin movement activated by the same operator controls in use at GPA.
"This equipment will allow the GPA to conduct a more effective and efficient training program," said GPA Executive Director Curtis Foltz. "Our ship-to-shore operators are already industry leaders, completing more than 40 container moves per crane hour. The simulator will ensure that new recruits maintain that performance level and existing operators keep their skills sharp."
GlobalSim project manager Von Colborn said the Port of Savannah is the first in the Southeast to use the technology and the first ever to use an updated software package that was highly customized for the GPA.
When training, users are surrounded by displays that mimic a container terminal environment. The operator feels realistic movement, sees true-to-scale video representation and hears appropriately timed audio matching the sights, sounds and movement of a Kone ship-to-shore crane or a Kone rubber-tired gantry crane.
The images mirror the actual environment at the Garden City Terminal, including Hutchinson Island across the river channel, and the specific vessels that call on the Port of Savannah.
Simulator models can be changed within minutes by switching from ship-to-shore to RTG control consoles.
"Beyond expected benefits to safe and efficient operations, the GlobalSim equipment will be an important asset in developing our employee skill set," said GPA Chief Operating Officer Griff Lynch.
Most RTG and ship-to-shore crane operators are promoted from within the GPA workforce, he said. The simulator will allow workers interested in becoming crane operators to train in a lifelike situation, while helping evaluators assess a candidate's abilities.
Typically, workers first move to the RTGs used to handle containers on terminal and then to ship-to-shore cranes. The simulator will be used for training at both stages of progression.
The simulator is programmable to allow operators to practice their skills for handling situations that might arise rarely but require quick response – such as wind and weather issues, or unusual container loads. The simulator also accounts for day and nighttime operations.
The Port of Savannah has 110 RTGs with six more being assembled on-site. Four of the existing RTGs are electric powered. The terminal has 23 ship-to-shore cranes, with four more on order.
While the new cranes have the same lift capacity as the GPA's 12 other Super Post-Panamax cranes, they will have a lift height of 136 feet – 16 feet higher than the GPA's largest cranes to date.
As the GPA crane fleet grows, more operators will be needed, making the simulator a smart move, said GPA board chairman Robert Jepson.
"While other ports have slowed expansions in the wake of the national recession, we have continued to make smart investments that will pay dividends in better trained employees and greater efficiency in cargo handling," he said.

The following ships are expected to call on Georgia Ports Authority's Garden City and Ocean terminals in the next week. Schedules are provided by Georgia Ports and subject to change.

Well, this guest post from James Johnson shows you everything you need to do over the next 90 days to go from blogging zero to blogging here.
Inside you'll learn:
This guide will ease you along the path of blogging, from creating content to making money, and show you the simplest ways to stand out from the crowd.
In this guide, Ramsay, the Blog Tyrant, shares his 19 must know steps before you start your blog.
It's not just a list post with hollow advice, though. This guide will help you make all of the important decisions you need to make before you start your blog.
Ramsay will talk you through:
If you have no idea what running a blog is like, this gives you a great insight.
Sean Ogle has built a career out of teaching people how to start niche blogs that make money.
In this guide, he gives away his specific strategy that has worked time, and time (and time) again.
He'll talk you through:
There's not much more that you need to get started.
By the end of the article you'll have a clear picture of what it takes to start a niche blog, the essential work you need to put in, and what success looks like.
In this article James Johnson (a contributor here, too) talks you through how he started his blog, One Day Guides as part of a niche site challenge.
Don't be put off by the title, though; this applies to any blog.
He talks you through:
If you follow his step-by-step tutorials you can have your blog set up in just a few hours and for as little money as possible. Not bad, huh?
Once you've set your blog up, it's time to start creating content for it. And, to do that, you're going to need a consistent flow of good ideas.
When you first start out, it's okay to worry that you'll run out of ideas.
But trust me, even after blogging for this long, there are always more ideas. Sometimes they even just hit you in the shower.
But, with these tutorials, you'll always have a sure-fire way to generate new ideas.
Are you like me and want to make coming up with good ideas as easy as possible?
Well, in this next article I'll show you my personal list of tools I used to create content.
I'll show you:
Save time. Generate ideas. Keep your blog alive.
This article by Devin Joubert is just outstanding.
Instead of just telling you what to write, he gives you all the prompts you need to come up with ideas for yourself.
And, a little structure to give the new ideas context. Making the whole process replicable and sustainable.
Devin gives you ideas for a range of situations:
If you came up with one idea from each, you'd be able to create one post a week for nearly three years.
If that's not value for (no) money, I don't know what is.
Want to create blog post topics that will set social media on fire?
Then, you need this post from Buffer.
They've pulled together all of the resources you need to create a consistent flow of content that your social media fans will love.
In it, Kevan Lee goes through:
Once finished, you'll have almost one year's worth of content (if you post twice a week). And, a few hundred more social shares to show for it.
Short on time? This case study from Nichehacks shows you how to generate 105 topics in just an hour.
Now, they may not all be good ideas. But every blogger must go through the terrible ideas, to get to the gold. Don't worry about that!
James will show you:
It doesn't matter how long you've had to struggle for ideas; this method is guaranteed to get you unstuck.
How to become a successful blogger? You have to know how to communicate with people through words.
Sounds simple, right? Well, yes and no.
The bad news is that it takes a lot of practice to get there. But, the good news?
You don't have to be a great writer to start blogging.
You just have to have a clear message and a good work ethic. The rest you can learn from these tutorials.
My.copyblogger is an excellent resource. And, one of their best freebies is this book about copywriting.
If you're not sure what copywriting is, just think of it as what you're reading right now.
It's the type of writing that is used to sell, inform, intrigue and delight.
It's what separates Bloggers from Novelists.
They'll teach you:
If you're new to writing and aren't too sure where to start learning, this book will give you all the basics you need.
Have you ever wondered what makes a blog post, well…good? SumoMe think they've cracked the code.
In this article their head content creator, Sean Bestor, talks you through the three major components every blog post should have:
And gives you strategic ways you can apply them to all of your content.
If you find your content is falling on deaf ears, this article is the life-saving injection it needs.
Introductions are the most important part of your blog posts.
If they aren't gripping, enticing and value driven, nobody is going to read the rest of your content (where you win their hearts and minds).
In this tutorial, Neil Patel shares with you the perfect formula for crafting introductions so perfect your audience will by dying to read the rest.
You'll learn:
I learned the hard way that introductions are vital. Don't make the same mistake and get your introduction skills nailed.
When people come to your page, it's key to try and keep them there.
In this superb tutorial, Brian shows you all the tricks of the trade to keep people on your page for longer.
He goes into depth about:
By the end of the tutorial, you'll have an entirely new approach to creating, and writing your content. And your readers will love you for it, no matter your niche.
The biggest lesson I ever learned in Blogging is that almost everything English Class taught you is wrong. The words and phrases they drilled into your mind don't translate into real writing.
In this tutorial, Shane Arthur talks you through the words you need to eliminate from your writing right now.
By the end of this, your blog posts will snap, crackle and pop.
This isn't an article. It's just this poster above. But if you want to be a good blogger, it's one of the best tutorials you can follow.
There is no substitute for consistent writing, practice and creating content.
Not all of it will be good. Not all of it will be worth sharing. But this reminder to keep creating, no matter where you are right now, is paramount.
Have you ever heard of passive voice?
It's a way of writing sentences that sounds, well…pretty weak.
If you want to create content that people want to read and hang on your every word, you need to weed it out from your writing. (Then you can learn how to use it in a good way).
In this article, James Chartrand shows you:
For a blogger, I can't think of a more valuable lesson in writing than this one.
Copywriting is a skill that can be learned. The belief you're either born a writer, or you're not one, isn't true.
And, as Neil Patel points out here, even some of the best Bloggers in the world started out awful at writing.
All it takes is the time, dedication, and the know-how in this article to become better.
Here you're going to learn:
This is your write-to-make-money masterclass.
And it will show you how to become a blogger with much, much more ease.
Editing is a skill that's separate from writing. And while you don't need to be of the standard of the Editor in Chief of The New Yorker, you do need to know some simple edits to make your writing better.
It makes your writing cleaner, easier to read and heaps more professional.
Here you'll learn:
Take this article and apply it to your next article (or go through and improve your old ones) and you'll see the world of difference an edit can make.
I've never met a successful blogger that can't write earth-shattering headlines.
Your headline is your beacon. It's what draws attention, captures their imagination and makes them want to do nothing more than read your blog post.
A good headline can make, or break, your piece of content. These tutorials will show you the tried and tested methods to create headlines that make sure your content is their top priority.
The headline of this book should be enough to share the potential inside. There's a lot of information for a free eBook that you can devour and boost your headline writing skills.
You'll learn, step-by-step, the core values of what make an attractive headline. The words, methods, and techniques needed to stand out from the rest of the crowd in your niche.
If your headlines suck, this is the place to start.
Don't want to take the time to write your headlines? Don't worry; Nichehacks have you covered.
Here you'll find a list of 41 headlines that you can simple copy, paste and fill in your words. And, with so many variations available, you'll never have to write your headline again.
You'll also cover:
No matter who you are, or who you write for, by the end of this article you'll have a bulletproof set of articles that are hard to ignore.
This was the first book of headlines I ever read. And, even after all these years, I keep the PDF to hand when I write headlines, too.
Jon Morrow has been writing scintillating headlines for Smart Blogger for as long as I can remember. In this eBook here, he shares with you his secrets. Including:
And, if you write a piece of content for every headline in the book, you have enough content to last you a year. Win, win, win.
Power words are those words that make you feel something when you say them. For example; fast cash now. Hot coffee here. Explode your traffic.
There's an emotion behind them which you can picture, and feel, in your bones when you say them. And this emotion is what makes people care about what you're writing.
You'll also find there is no better place to put them than in your headlines, either.
This article from SumoMe may just be a list of words. But once you learn how to use them, you'll start to blog in the big leagues.
Optimization is all about taking the traffic you get to your site and converting it into customers, email subscribers, and loyal fans.
These tutorials are going to show you how to design your site, create lead magnets and do the basic SEO for your WordPress blog posts.
If you want to learn how to perform Search Engine Optimization on your site, you should check out that list of tutorials right here.
A lead magnet offers the people who visit your site a free product in return for their email address, social share, or any action that you want them to take.
Don't worry, this isn't an expensive product and doesn't even need to cost you a lot of your time.
In this step by step guide, Robbie Richards shows you how to create a product in under 10 minutes that will convert your traffic into loyal fans in just a few clicks.
He'll share with you:
By the end of this article, you'll be able to create lead magnets for all of your content and see a drastic increase in your conversion rates.
You may think your blog design is just about how pretty your site looks when people land there.
But, your design can also impact how much money you make. And if they take the actions you want them to.
SumoMe saw this issue and took a much deeper look into it.
After researching the most efficient templates on the internet right now, they distilled the information into an actionable strategy you can learn to design your blog.
They'll teach you:
If you find your bounce rates are high, and not enough people convert the way you want, you should take a look at the strategies in here.
SEO is one of the most talked about subjects in blogging.
It's also one of the most misunderstood by bloggers. This post helps make that a little easier, especially if you're a newbie blogger.
Serge Stefoglo shows you really basic steps you can take, like:
That will help you get your blog noticed by Google and drive you some well-deserved traffic.
The amount of email subscribers you have correlates to how much money you make (more on that next).
So, it's important to capture as many emails as you can from the people who visit your site.
Again, Robbie Richards is here to show you how to do that with ease.
In this excellent case study, he shows you how you can capture lots of emails even with just a tiny bit of traffic.
You'll learn:
All of this is proven with real clients in a real environment. And you can replicate every step even on a tiny budget, and a minuscule amount of traffic.
Have you ever thought about what success looks for your blog?
It's a simple question, but the implications are huge. And once you answer this question, you can optimise your site accordingly.
In this article Kristi Hines will show you:
So you can measure, track and monitor your success. Leading on the road to money, success and a blog you're proud of.
This is why you're here right?
A blog is an incredible way to make money online that comes with a lot of perks, such as: not having a boss, freedom, control over your income and making hundreds of dollars from topics you love.
The only question that gets in the way is, well…how do you monetize a blog?
Well, that's where these tutorials and guides home in.
They show you how to become a blogger that makes money online, by highlighting the most effective ways. All you have to do is follow along.
There are lots of ways to monetize your blog.
But, in this article, James breaks it down to the 31 ways you can start to make money right now.
These are plug and play strategies that work.
James talks you through:
That way you start to make money in minutes and not months.
And who doesn't like quick money, right?
Want to know every way you can monetize your blog? Then look no further than this complete menu from Problogger.
This classic article shows you every single way you can monetise your blog effectively. You're also talked through the pros and cons of each so you can make informed decisions.
This isn't quite a tutorial. But, there's so much here for you to consider it did need to make the list.
I love this case study from Jeff Goins. To run it he posed the question, "Can you start a blog and make money from it within 48 hours?".
Taking his (second) passion, coffee, he was able to create a free blog and generate a new customer in just a two days period.
In this guide, he talks you through the entire process and how he did it.
Jeff shares with you:
If you feel like stuck and just can't seem to make money online, I'd suggest you try this article. It can break that belief and show you the internet is the place to make money right now.
Just because you don't have thousands of people landing on your site every day, doesn't mean you can't make money.
You just need to know how to deliver your product to the people you do have.
That's exactly what Neil shows you how to do here. He'll talk you through:
These are all proven ways to make money, and he has the case studies to prove it.
If you're looking for the means to boost your income, you may have just found your answers.
A digital product is a product that exists only online. Unless they were to print it out onto paper, it doesn't exist in the 'real' world.
That makes them one of the best products a blogger can create and sell. Why?
Because they're cheap (even free) to make. You don't need to package and send them. You don't need to worry about returns.
And, you can put them together in just a couple of hours or days.
In this guide, you learn how to choose, create and sell your digital product. You'll cover:
Even the smallest blog, with the least traffic, can start to make money from these digital products.
The final stage of everything is getting people to see your blog posts.
Because, without traffic, you're trying to sell to an empty room.
In this section, I've collected tutorials that will help you take your content, and your social media pages, and get them in front of people who care.
But, if you want tutorials on getting significant traffic to your blog, check out this complete list here.
Content promotion doesn't need to be hard or confusing. In fact, when you get your process in order, it can be really quite simple.

Instead, you need to manipulate your content to make it shareable, interesting and fit for different platforms.
In this article, Neil Patel talks you through 16 different ways you can manipulate your content, and your sharing, to get the most traffic per blog post.
Some of the strategies include:
This will give you access to thousands of people who otherwise would have no idea who you were And; that's just the start of his strategies.

Kristin Cashore/GRACELING
Katsa is "graced" with the ability to kill, a magical gift that is manipulated by her uncle, the king of one of seven kingdoms in the realm. Katsa hates acting the thug and starts an underground group of do-gooders, called The Council, to counteract the evil of her uncle and others like him. When a secret rescue mission for The Council brings Katsa into the thick of sinister happenings in a neighboring kingdom, she'll need the help of Prince Po, who is also graced with a great skill for fighting. But Po is hiding something, and Katsa is dangerously attracted to him.
I devoured the first half of this book because the character dynamics are great. The interchange between Katsa and Po is snappy (and often made me laugh out loud). Katsa is an interesting character, rough around the edges but likable, admirably skilled but with mixed feelings about her grace. The sinister mystery that catalyzes the plot drew me in, but ultimately had no real bearing on the storyworld, which was a bit disappointing. But this is more of a character story, and the characters are very well done.
The second half of the book didn't interest me as much. I skimmed over much of a long trek through the wilderness where the character dynamics didn't have as much opportunity to play out. Another problem I had with the book was that I didn't buy some of the most important character motivations: why does Katsa let her uncle control her, and why does Po feel such a great need to keep a secret? We're given reasons, but they don't go deep enough to be convincing. Still, I really liked the story and I'll be keeping an eye out for the two companion books.

eek, i hate long treks through the wilderness. that's where most books go wrong for me.

Steer clear, then. I'm guessing you're not big on high fantasy? That genres seems to involve wilderness treks pretty often.
- April 24, 2009 at 11:21 PM

The trek through the wilderness in Lord of the Rings kept me engrossed but I agree, long treks are generally dull. I suppose Tolkien's trek was puncuated with adventure. I quite like some fantasy, but will probably give this one a miss.
- April 25, 2009 at 4:22 PM
- Cheryl said...
There was certainly a lot of danger involved in the trek--it was of an escape through the wilderness. But it was quite long. The book is 450 pages or so.
- April 25, 2009 at 8:29 PM
- Leigh Russell said...
But 450 pages wouldn't seem long if the book held your interest. I think the 'length' has more to do with whether the narrative engages your interest than with actual number of pages.

Beyond Gone Media & The Beard Present
Downtown Brown
Outcome of Betrayal, Playing In Traffic, Make It Out Alive, Not Penny's Boat
The Demo
4191 Manchester Avenue
St. Louis, MO, 63110
Doors 7:30 PM / Show 8:00 PM
Watch & Listen
"Sounds like The Red Hot Chili Peppers with a Mr. Bungle Enema...this shit is hilarious..." - Metal Maniacs Magazine
Outcome of Betrayal is a new metal band based in Saint Louis, Missouri. The band had its beginnings in 2008. Guitarist Brian Crangle and vocalist James Simpson, friends from prior music ventures, decided to start their own group.
The next year, in 2009, Patrick Sommer was added to the band as the drummer and things really started to come together. After months of searching Jarrod Meine was added as the second guitarist, followed by Mark Drago as the bands bass player.
By June of 2010, the band had composed music and perfected a full set list. It was at this same time that they recorded a demo CD of 4 songs. Not long after the demo was released the band decided to move forward without Jarrod Meine. Almost immediately Alex Hughes stepped in as the last piece of the band.
Outcome of Betrayal is now working on a full length EP. They have already released the first song from the EP, Right of Passage. Right of Passage has been received with enthusiasm by metal music listeners. Three more songs will be released after Christmas, and the full EP will be available in 2012.
Outcome of Betrayal has been influenced by a number of well-known metal bands. They include Soilwork, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Haste the Day, and In Flames. The band took inspiration from these groups and learned from each of their skills and styles. In the end, the band has created a unique style with fast and heavy instrumentals and a wide range of vocal techniques and sounds.
Outcome of Betrayal is an exciting new metal band with a sound of their own. They hope to be very active in the music industry, and bring their music out worldwide.
Make It Out Alive
It all started from three St. Louis local bands that ended around the same time in March of 2012. We joined forces and are bringing a new sound and formula to the scene!

New Delhi, (IANS) ITC, makers of Sunfeast Yippee noodles, on Thursday said its brand has passed the lead test and the company does not add MSG as an ingredient.
"We learn from news reports in Gujarat today, that a sample of Sunfeast Yippee! noodles has passed the lead test," a company spokesperson said in a statement.
It said ITC Foods "does not add MSG (monosodium glutamate) as an ingredient to YiPPee".
"Glutamate is found in most common foods such as wheat flour, tomato, green peas, onions and even breast milk. Traces of glutamates may occur from the natural ingredients used in making the product," the statement said.
The company said its food products "are of superior quality and completely safe for consumption" as well as compliant with all regulations.
The clarification came after the Gujarat government on Thursday banned Maggi, Sunfeast and Hakka noodles brands for 30 days, saying samples of the snack food failed laboratory tests.

The challenges of post-tsunami Samoa
October 7, 2009
Monday was a very long day. We visited with dozens and dozens of South Pacific Business Development Foundation (SPBD) ladies who have been severely impacted by the Samoan Tsunami. The stories they tell and their grief is extreme.
One SPBD member, Ruta Sao —who has a small taro plantation — tells of losing four of her children (ages: five months, two, four and five) when the wave hit. Each of their bodies has since been recovered and they will all be buried in the mass national funeral this Thursday. Ruta is now living high up on a mountainside under a tarp held up by four large sticks. She insists that she is not leaving.
In fact, there is a whole enclave of people from Ruta's village of Saleapaga who have now moved up there. They all insist that they will never go back to Saleapaga. And after experiencing such terrifying tragedy who can blame them?
We will help her and the others rebuild new and safe homes on the hillside above Saleapaga.
The prime purpose for today's activities was to individually assess each of the survivors' situations and determine how we can best assist them. People like Ruta are still grieving tremendously and perhaps what she needs most is time, and then some counseling and then some opportunity. We are good at providing economic opportunity. We hope to also link her and others with some charitable psychological counseling organizations that will be arriving on the island in the next couple of weeks.
The village next door to Saleapaga, Lalomanu, was also largely wiped out. Thanks to a nearby off-shore island which bore the brunt of the tsunami, some houses in Lalomanu were mercifully spared. We had organized a group of 21 of our micro-entrepreneurs with whom we work in Lalomanu and were gauging very specifically how each was impacted.
One of our members, whom we had assessed as having been entirely spared from disaster, then burst into sudden tears and she began to tell us all of a heartbreaking story of losing a grip on her mother's arm as they were escaping the wave — her mother was carried out to the sea. Her mother, too, will be buried along with Ruta's children this Thursday.
The point is — homes can be replaced and businesses can be re-launched. But people are truly precious. And for this reason, all of these ladies in this area have been terribly, deeply and personally affected and need our help.
SPBD is putting together aid packages to deliver to women who have now been literally scattered throughout Samoa. We have already delivered to most a prepaid cell phone so that we can keep in touch with them. Cash grants will be a big part of the package —these should go out later this week.
The logistical issues are significant; however, we have one of the best distribution systems in the entire country and so I am confident that we can pull it off.

Governor Bob McDonnell today announced the state wide leadership team for "Virginia Adopts: Campaign for 1,000," an initiative to match 1,000 children currently in foster care with adoptive families. The leadership team, which consists of community leaders, elected officials, and adoption advocates, will serve to highlight the effort and promote adoption around Virginia. The announcement of the statewide leadership team comes the week before the Campaign for 1,000 Regional Kick-Off events will be taking place across the Commonwealth.
Speaking about today's announcement, Governor McDonnell said, "Each of these individuals brings a unique perspective, strong community involvement, and compassion for Virginia's children to the Campaign for 1,000. I am grateful to each member of the leadership team for their efforts and look forward to the success of the initiative. In the weeks ahead there will be opportunities for Virginia families to learn more about growing their family through adoption in the foster care system. I encourage anyone interested to attend one of the regional events and seek out more information. Children in foster care are there through no fault of their own, and just as much as any child, they deserve a loving, secure, and stable family and home."
Mrs. Kay Coles James and Mrs. Bobbie Kilberg will serve as the State Co-Chairs for the initiative. Dr. Allan Morris, Delegate Chris Peace, Senator Emmett and Mrs. Sharon Hanger, Mr. Chuck Slemp, Delegate David Toscano, Mrs. Karey Nobles, Supervisor Marty and Mrs. Kristina Nohe, Mrs. Angie Landes, Fr. Wayne Ball, Secretary Doug and Mrs. Jeanne Domenech, the Reverend Jon Barton, Ms. Sophia Booker, and Senator George Barker will serve on the Statewide Steering Committee.
"When children age out of the foster care system without finding a permanent family, they face more significant challenges without a support system of any kind. With so many loving families in Virginia, I am confident we can find great matches for these 1,000 children. I am grateful to members of the Steering Committee for adding their support to this important effort," stated Secretary of the Commonwealth Janet Kelly, who along with her husband Ryan is helping to lead the "Virginia Adopts" initiative. "These events will provide families who have thought about adoption with the information they need as they consider the impact of this decision on both their own families and the children who need adopting."
Co-Chair Kay Coles James, former Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources and a former foster mom stated, "When considering adoption, many people think that only babies or children in other countries are available. Any adoption is a selfless act of love, but many families don't know that there are children right here in Virginia who need a forever family. I encourage any family who believes they have extra love to give to consider adopting out of the foster care system in Virginia. As with biological children, parenting these children isn't always easy. However, as many foster and adoptive parents will tell you, the children often teach us more than we teach them,"
"Welcoming children into our hearts and homes is one of the best examples of Virginia's hallmark generosity and kindness. The paths of the 1,000 children that the 'Virginia Adopts' program will match with families will be impacted in a positive way for the rest of these children's lives, as well as life-changing for the adoptive families. I encourage Virginians to consider adopting out of the foster care system or supporting those who adopt in some meaningful way," remarked Co-Chair Bobbie Kilberg, President and CEO of the Northern Virginia Technology Council and a mother of five children.

Otte, D., Facius, T., and Wiese, B., "Accident Characteristics and Influence Parameters of Severe Motorcycle Accidents in Germany," SAE Technical Paper 2015-01-1466, 2015, https://doi.org/10.4271/2015-01-1466.
The overall number of severely injured participants and fatalities in road traffic accidents has decreased enormously during the last decades especially in Europe, but casualties in the group of riders of motorcycles have only decreased in a smaller percentage. In countries of Asia the numbers of motorcycle casualties are increasing regarding the popularity of motorcycle riding. The aim of this study is to analyze the current accident situation of motorcycles in Germany with severely injured and killed riders of motorcycles with cubic capacity > 125 cm3 in Germany, to identify the characteristics in injury mechanisms and accident constellations to find countermeasures to be suggested for worldwide accident avoidance and injury reduction.The study was carried out on the basis of accident data of 1,493 drivers of motorcycles involved in traffic accidents in Germany. These accidents were collected by a scientific research team of GIDAS (German In-Depth Accident Study) in the area of Hannover and Dresden within the years 2000 up to 2013. For finding accident characteristic, two groups of different kinds of casualties are compared, first the group of MAIS 3+ severe injured cyclists (n=218) and second the group of MAIS 1 and 2 slightly injured cyclists (n=1,275). The injury risk is described on the probability to be injured, on special injury patterns as well as to be severely injured. The Abbreviated Injury Scale AIS is used for the assessment of injury severity. Furthermore person individual parameters like age, body mass index BMI and crash data like collision constellation, kind of collision partner and speed are considered and assessed in a multivariate analysis.The study points out that motorcycle accidents lead to severe injured MAIS3+ riders, when accidents with objects (including falls) and accidents with cars occurred. MAIS 3+ injured cyclists were clearly higher in the age group above 60 years compared to the age group 41-60. The age group 26-40 and the youngest group below 26 years had the lowest numbers of MAIS 3+ persons. Only the driving speed of the motorcycle and the relative speed at the point of collision show a significant influence on the overall injury severity of the motorcyclists.

Just as Jackie Chan does his own stunts; I do my own image drawing. Some of my "art":
- (The yellow arrow here).
- The shapes in my Silverlight 1.1 app:
The astute observer probably noticed that all of my work is very primitive and done in MS Paint (yup, "%windir%\system32\mspaint.exe") . Paint is fast. It's easy. And my poor abilities would be an insult to any real painting program.
However, the one thing I really could use that Paint is missing is the ability to set transparency in images. For example, in the images above, I'd like the white background to be a transparent color.
Setting the transparent color:
Tim explains how to make transparent images with Paint.Net. You can also do this programmatically with the Bitmap.MakeTransparent method. I wrote a simple C# console app to wrap the call. It picks the color in the upper left corner as the transparent color, which I think is a reasonably good heuristic.
Here's an example invoking it. "c.bmp" is the original file; "c.t.bmp" is a copy with transparency.
C:\temp>\bin\MakeTransparent.exe c.bmp
Loading image from:C:\temp\c.bmp
Choosing background color based of pixel at (0,0). Color =Color [A=255, R=255, G=255, B=255]
Saving back to file: C:\temp\c.t.bmp
Here's the code. It depends on System.Drawing.dll:
// Simple tool to mark a color on the bitmap transparent. // http://blogs.msdn.com/jmstall using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Drawing; using System.IO; namespace MakeTransparent { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { if (args.Length == 0) { Console.WriteLine( @"Usage: MakeTransparent <filename> Makes the background color in the image transparent. This assumes the pixel at 0,0 is the background color. This saves it as a new file appended with '.t', so that it doesn't erase the original filename. For example 'c:\dir\a.bmp' becomes 'c:\dir\a.t.bmp'. Callers can rename as needed. "); return; } string filename = args[0]; filename = Path.GetFullPath(filename); Console.WriteLine("Loading image from:{0}", filename); Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap(filename); // Get the color of a background pixel. // Assume upper left corner is opaque. Color backColor = myBitmap.GetPixel(0, 0); Console.WriteLine("Choosing background color based of pixel at (0,0). Color ={0}", backColor.ToString()); // Make backColor transparent for myBitmap. This is the heart of the program. myBitmap.MakeTransparent(backColor); // Change "c:\dir\thing.bmp" to "c:\dir\thing.t.bmp" string left = Path.ChangeExtension(filename, null); string ext = Path.GetExtension(filename); // includes period ".bmp" string outFile = left + ".t" + ext; Console.WriteLine("Saving back to file: {0}", outFile); myBitmap.Save(outFile); } } }
Random notes:
- This works nicely on Bitmaps; but not on JPGs and other bitmap types. That's because this changes a specific pixel color (eg, 255;255;255) to transparent. Other image formats may have compression techniques that use a range of pixel colors in the background instead of a single color.
- Visual Studio's Bitmap editor does not like transparent images. I find after I run MakeTransparent on an image, VS won't open the image in its own editor and instead launches MS Paint.
Being practical...
I realize practically, I really should just use a better painting program (like Paint.Net). But I am a developer, so nobody expects me to be able to draw; and it provides a nice excuse to write random little apps. It's also nice for hooking into batch processes such as making all images in a directory have a transparent background.

Welcome back to Rolling Stone's "Everything Index," our weekly ranking of pop culture's power players.
We're not gonna lie: Between the Force Awakens lightsaber (are you serious with that crossguard?!?), the continued existence of the Kardashians and all the ugly sweaters we're seeing, there's no shortage of seemingly meaningless ephemera to get outraged about this week, which is good: The Index is nothing if not professionally petty.
So before J.J. Abrams figures out a way to add a fourth plasma blade to an old Christmas sweater, let's get to the midweek rankings: the good, the bad and Everything in between. Let's do some Indexing.
1. Hilts: Star Wars nerds torn over the efficacy of new lightsaber crossguard in Force Awakens trailer. Hilts haven't been this hot since the Teutonic War.
2. The Suicide Squad Cast: Jared Leto, Tom Hardy, Will Smith and Cara Delevingne confirmed to star in film version of DC comic. Definitely the most attractive super-hero team since Marvel's BotoX-Men.
3. Kourtney Kardashian's Sorta-Nude Photo Shoot: Kim's other less-famous sister also attempts to "break the Internet" with a strategic shoot that sees her clad only in sheer desperation.
4. Stephen Hawking, Bond Villain: Iconic cosmologist and author wants to play the bad guy in a James Bond film. That definitely would have made The Theory of Everything a better movie.
5. Fleek: Let's put an end to it before it spreads.
6. Ugly Sweaters: Once-ironic holiday accessory reaches the saturation point. Can we just go back other unsightly Christmastime classics like "Crass Consumerism" or "Aunt Janice's Horrible Racism?"
7. George Clooney's Downton Abbey Cameo: He turns, he smiles, he drinks. It's the most George Clooney thing he's done since Ocean's Thirteen.
8. Jersey Shore Turns Five: MTV's boozy, brawling breakout premiered five years ago today. Watch the first episode now, and be transported back to a time when we were all supposed to care about Angelina Pivarnick.
9. Mike Ditka Has Had Enough: Cigar-chomping former coach rips NFL players' "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" pregame protest. "The policeman's life is ruined," Ditka says. How'd everything turn out for Michael Brown?
10. Taylor Swift Does Stuff: Omnipresent pop star is currently breathing, walking and feuding with Victoria's Secret models. See, she's just like us!
11. The Orion Space Capsule: NASA says new spacecraft is "a major step in our deep-space exploration plan to Mars." Can we put Mike Ditka on board?
12. Beyoncé's Nail Art: Bey launches new nail-wrap line just in time for the holidays. Big deal, LaTavia Roberson has been doing nails for years now.
13. This Bill Cosby Thing: If you need us, we'll be over here.
14. The Fat Mike Musical: NOFX frontman plots touring production of new play. Can't wait for its 20-year run on the Vans Warped Tour.
15. Tom Brady, Telemarketer: Toothsome Patriots QB shows up as a telemarketer named Gary in new fantasy football ad. We liked him better as a supervisor at Dudlar and Sons Custom Homes.
16. Nicki Minaj's New Album: Oft-delayed The Pinkprint features cameos from Beyoncé and Ariana Grande. You know, if it actually comes out this time.
17. Happy Birthday Britney Spears! Brit Brit turned 33 yesterday. Or, in her mind, "Starbucks Frappuccino years old."
18. BlackBerry's Desperation: Former wireless juggernaut is now offering to pay iPhone users $600 to switch to their new Passport device. That's $1 for every version of Brick Breaker it comes preloaded with.
19. Jameis Winston on Snapchat: Florida State quarterback/lightning rod is lookin' for boobs. Fitting, considering Snapchat is basically the Jameis Winston of apps anyway.
20. 2014: It was pretty shitty, wasn't it?

Present Indefinite Tense
In Present Indefinite Tense we talk about the present action as it just takes place.
Forms of verb
When sentence is converted into negative or interrogative then 3rd person singular form is changed into 1st form, for example; he works hard and he doesn't work hard. She washes the dishes and she doesn't wash the dishes. The detail of forms of the verb is as follows.
- 3rd Person Singular form (with he, she, it and singular noun)
- 1st form (with I, we, you, they, plural nouns)
Auxiliary (helping verb)
Both auxiliaries (do and does) are only used in negative or interrogative sentences, not in the positives sentences. The use of auxiliary is different with the different subjects. The detail of which is as follows.
- Do (with I, we, you, they, plural nouns)
- Does (with he, she, it and singular noun)
When sentence is converted into negative then not is used with the auxiliaries. You can use the short form too in which not is used with auxiliary as one word. Below are some examples to make you understand.
- Do not (don't in short)
- Does not (doesn't in short)
While making interrogative the auxiliaries are used at the beginning of sentence.
- Do / Does are used at the beginning of the sentence.
Examples of Positive sentences
- I understand that I have to score well.
- He jumps up high.
- She speaks loudly.
- You really tolerate many things.
- They work on this problem to be resolved.
Examples of does
- He does not work hard. (Negative sentence)
- She does not come regularly. (Negative sentence)
- Does he eat rice? (Interrogative sentence)
Examples of do
- I don't understand this thing. (Negative sentence)
- You don't study. (Negative sentence)
- Do they cry for help? (Interrogative sentence)
Note: Remember when do or does is used with the positive sentences it means that you are going to emphasize. Thus in positive sentences the use of auxiliary in Present Indefinite Tense is for the emphasis.
- I do study.
- He does guide me.
- You do understand that this thing is harmful for the patient.

I wish I could afford to stay there as well, but if I could I'm sure I would find another way to spend my money, like with a few days in Tuamotu islands!
I went there on a boat trip, tourists are allowed to walk on the beach (public domain), but not more than ~5m inside the island, as it's private!

Well located in Toulouse, parking a little difficult but OK. All tables were taken and we were glad we reserved. Portions were large and i had the Lamb Tagine which was really nice and tender. No issues with going again.
Delicious lunch. Huge portions, well flavoured, long slow cooking of lamb. Waiter was one-man show -- charming, efficient, friendly. Would go there time and again.
Just had an incredible meal at Le Ksar. Everything was perfect food, staff and service with a great ambiance. The best cous cous I have ever tasted we will return with friends and family. Thank you.

text: The Washington State Department of Transportation announced a realignment of two key programs – Vessel Engineering and Vessel Maintenance. This step is part of Secretary of Transportation Paula Hammond's commitment to improve the organizational structure and performance of the ferry system. The two programs have become one under the direction of Paul Brodeur, the new Ferries Division Director of Vessel Maintenance, Preservation and Engineering. Paul previously served as the Ferries Division Director of Maintenance and Preservation. The realignment will create greater efficiencies in how the Ferries Division maintains the fleet and builds the six new vessels planned for the system. It also addresses a key finding in the report from the State Auditor's Office to provide additional oversight of the Eagle Harbor Maintenance Facility. The move eliminates four existing management positions and creates two new positions – a Chief Naval Architect and Vessel Engineering Construction Manager.

Wales captain Sam Warburton admitted his side could not blame fatigue for Saturday's 46-6 thrashing at the hands of New Zealand in Dunedin.
Although Wales were beaten in each of the first two Tests, their performances in Auckland and Wellington provided plenty of positives.
However, it was a different story at Forsyth Barr Stadium as the world champions ran in six tries on their way to an emphatic victory.
Wales appeared low on energy as the All Blacks ruthlessly seized control, but Warburton was unwilling to hide behind the potential effects of gruelling domestic campaigns in the northern hemisphere.
"There are no excuses about it being a long season, they were just far better than us today," said the flanker.
"The scoreboard's a fair reflection. In the first two games, we thought we played pretty well, but it was poor tonight."
New Zealand enjoyed frequent success with breaks from inside their own half, prompting Warburton to criticise his side's vulnerability to counter-attacks.
He added: "Basic mistakes like that, you just can't do over here. But credit to New Zealand, they've been outstanding.
"We just weren't there in way too many aspects of the game."

Based on kernel version 4.13.3. Page generated on 2017-09-23 13:56 EST.
1 The s390 SCSI dump tool (zfcpdump) 2 3 System z machines (z900 or higher) provide hardware support for creating system 4 dumps on SCSI disks. The dump process is initiated by booting a dump tool, which 5 has to create a dump of the current (probably crashed) Linux image. In order to 6 not overwrite memory of the crashed Linux with data of the dump tool, the 7 hardware saves some memory plus the register sets of the boot CPU before the 8 dump tool is loaded. There exists an SCLP hardware interface to obtain the saved 9 memory afterwards. Currently 32 MB are saved. 10 11 This zfcpdump implementation consists of a Linux dump kernel together with 12 a user space dump tool, which are loaded together into the saved memory region 13 below 32 MB. zfcpdump is installed on a SCSI disk using zipl (as contained in 14 the s390-tools package) to make the device bootable. The operator of a Linux 15 system can then trigger a SCSI dump by booting the SCSI disk, where zfcpdump 16 resides on. 17 18 The user space dump tool accesses the memory of the crashed system by means 19 of the /proc/vmcore interface. This interface exports the crashed system's 20 memory and registers in ELF core dump format. To access the memory which has 21 been saved by the hardware SCLP requests will be created at the time the data 22 is needed by /proc/vmcore. The tail part of the crashed systems memory which 23 has not been stashed by hardware can just be copied from real memory. 24 25 To build a dump enabled kernel the kernel config option CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP 26 has to be set. 27 28 To get a valid zfcpdump kernel configuration use "make zfcpdump_defconfig". 29 30 The s390 zipl tool looks for the zfcpdump kernel and optional initrd/initramfs 31 under the following locations: 32 33 * kernel: <zfcpdump directory>/zfcpdump.image 34 * ramdisk: <zfcpdump directory>/zfcpdump.rd 35 36 The zfcpdump directory is defined in the s390-tools package. 37 38 The user space application of zfcpdump can reside in an intitramfs or an 39 initrd. It can also be included in a built-in kernel initramfs. The application 40 reads from /proc/vmcore or zcore/mem and writes the system dump to a SCSI disk. 41 42 The s390-tools package version 1.24.0 and above builds an external zfcpdump 43 initramfs with a user space application that writes the dump to a SCSI 44 partition. 45 46 For more information on how to use zfcpdump refer to the s390 'Using the Dump 47 Tools book', which is available from 48 http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390.

Maidenform commercial (put down the toys) to bring you this infomercial for Dude Write.
Are you tired of reading the same thing over and over?
Fear not!
Because here at Dude Write, we offer something new each week.
We know that life is tough, and it feels like a bullfight in which you have to constantly defend your honor. As if dealing with the stress, anxiety, and pain of a possible divorce isn't enough, you also have to battle flatulence and lazy fat people in an elevator. And if that isn't enough, you also have to develop new theories about women and not onlyfigure out if vampires existed, but if they existed while Abraham Lincoln was president.
And all of this while trying not to stare at an enormous set of boobs*!
*Not the good kind.
Don't you wish you could just forget all of that stress and just shoot fireworks out of your ass?
Well now you can.
Because at Dude Write, we are writers who are free to write about whatever we want. And quite honestly, reading each entry is kinda like shooting fireworks out of your ass.
But wait! There's more!!!
If you call within the next ten minutes, you will get a new set of knives, which you can use for whatever you want, whether you want to use them to go after your friend who stole your girlfriend or disgusting online perverts who target the young.
But act now, before time runs out!
(Also available en español)
And with that, we shall reveal the results.
Diamond Club is Dan with his post Reality Check. This was a serious turn for Dan, both in life and in his entries in Dude Write and we were all thrilled to read it and saddened by it all at the same time. Kudos to the reader that read through to the end of the series.
He can link up in the Diamond Club and he will be given the opportunity to award a Chairman's Choice next week.
Chicken Theory discusses chicken breasts in great depth or something.
Evolution of Jerking It, where we married fellows are thankful for our wives and those not so matrimonially bonded are certain to never look at an iPad the same again.
This week, there will be three Chairman's Choice awards. As is tradition, Ken from Ken-InaTractor as a new member of the Diamond Club got to choose a post from this week's selection.
"Wow, to pick one post from all of these is a really difficult thing for a Dude to have to do. I spent a lot of time reading through them all and eventually, I found there was one that I had come back to about five different times. My Chairman's choice is going the be The Excuses We Make by Jack at The JackB. Being in my mid 40's as well, I'm finding my body is betraying me more and more often these days and the decisions I have to make because of that hit close to home with this post. Very well done."
Your editors also had an opinion this week.
Youngman Brown said, "Another great week. Another tough decision. This week, I am giving my Chairman's Choice Man Card to Addman from Muppets for Justice for his post Congratulations on Seducing My Ex. His list of advice to his (ex) friend was both hilarious and the perfect form of revenge to the girl. Great stuff, Addman!
WilyGuy said, "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! This week was an easy decision thanks to the all knew decisionator-3000! I simply point and click and the decisionator-3000 picks the best blog based on my increase in testosterone and heart rate. Act Now and the editors will throw in two Chairman's Choice awards for the price of one, call now, quantities limited, void where prohibited, must be present on Daniel Nest's Key Ingredients of Any Infomercial to qualify. Great post!"
In the category of the "Color Commentator" Man Card, which is awarded to someone who we spotted making a particularly exceptional comment on another dude's post.
This week's Man Card goes to Ken for his comment on Kevin's "Chicken Theory." Ken wrote:
"You have a point with your theory. I've been eating eatingweiners, lots and lots of weiners. Still nothing. But those are made from lipsand assholes so there may be a flaw in my plan because sadly...no improvement."
This had us all laughing uncontrollably, and was the cherry on top of an already hilarious post.
Congratulations to all of the new Man Card winners this week. If you didn't get yours this week, come back again on Friday and try again!
And don't forget to get writing for our first Flash Fiction Competition. Yes, you have a month. But if there is one thing that TheJackB taught us this week, it is that time runs out quickly, so strike while the iron is hot!
Thanks for a great week!
