When a virtual machine is running, its window is the active window. If you plug a USB device into the host system, the device connects to the virtual machine instead of the host by default. If a USB device connected to the host system does not connect to a virtual machine at power on, you must manually connect the device to the virtual machine.
When you connect a USB device to a virtual machine, Workstation retains the connection to the affected port on the host system. You can suspend or power off the virtual machine, or unplug the device. When you plug in the device again or resume the virtual machine, Workstation reconnects the device. Workstation retains the connection by writing an autoconnect entry to the virtual machine configuration (.vmx) file.
If Workstation cannot reconnect to the device, for example, because you disconnected the device, the device is removed and Workstation displays a message to indicate that it cannot connect to the device. You can connect to the device manually if it is still available.
Follow the device manufacturer's procedures for unplugging the device from the host computer when you physically unplug the device, move the device from host system to a virtual machine, move the device between virtual machines, or move the device from a virtual machine to the host computer. Following these procedures is especially important for data storage devices, such as zip drives. If you move a data storage device too soon after saving a file and the operating system did not actually write the data to the disk, you can lose data.
When a particular USB device is connected to a virtual machine for the first time, the host detects it as a new device named VMware USB Device and installs the appropriate VMware driver.
You can disable the autoconnect feature if you do not want USB devices to connect to a virtual machine when you power it on.
On Linux hosts, Workstation uses the USB device file system to connect to USB devices. If the USB device file system is not located in /proc/bus/usb, you must mount the USB file system to that location.
To connect USB human interface devices (HIDs) to a virtual machine, you must configure the virtual machine to show all USB input devices in the Removable Devices menu.
To install a PDA driver in a virtual machine, you must synchronize the PDA with the virtual machine.

Get the French version of the Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook (pdf).
The goal of this handbook is to help you become a knowledgeable and good driver. However, it is only a reference source, covering basic driving rules and techniques. The relevant statutes should be consulted to interpret and apply the law.
Good drivers are always in control of their own actions, reactions and vehicle. Control means remaining calm and at ease behind the wheel while conducting smooth movements of the vehicle on the road and within traffic. The goal of a good driver is to disrupt traffic as little as possible.
You should become highly skilled at identifying situations that require your attention, anticipating and predicting what other drivers might do, deciding on your response and then executing your decision. Make sure you have the knowledge and the ability to control your vehicle so a small error never turns into a dangerous situation. You should be able to control your vehicle in emergencies, in a variety of weather situations, as well as on varying road conditions including very slippery or icy surfaces.
Driving is one of the few activities almost everyone practises frequently. You have the choice of being a sloppy, dangerous driver, or one who drives with precision, control and safety. If you practise basic skills and aim for consistency, you can have fun while ensuring safety for yourself and for others.
This handbook is intended to help you acquire a driver's licence. More importantly, it will help you develop safe and competent driving skills.

Former NFL player Greg Hardy earns UFC deal after 57 second KO victory
Former NFL player Greg Hardy made his professional MMA debut last night on Dana White's Contender Series 9 with an impressive 57 second TKO victory over fellow former NFL player Austen Lane earning him a UFC contract.
Hardy told MMA Weekly "I feel awesome, I battled a warrior came out victorious followed the game plan, it's one of the best shows in the world"
Training at American Top Team, Hardy was full of praise for his teammates who he calls some of the most dangerous men on the planet.
He said: "It's an honour to be at American Top Team with all those guys. I was sparring with Arlovski and I was in his camp for Stefan Struve. I train with the best team in the world and the best fighters in the world."
Hardy's appearance on the show didn't come without controversy due to his past. The Former NFL player was arrested in 2014 for an alleged domestic assault on an ex-girlfriend, the case was eventually dropped after the victim failed to appear in court. Dana White responded to the controversy before the fight.
White said: "If you talk to anybody he trains with, male or female, they say that he's a very good guy. He's very humble. Everybody deserves a second chance."
As for what's next it appears Hardy won't make his UFC debut just yet as Hardy revealed they want him to gain more experience first.
Hardy added: "It's going to be a developmental thing, they are going to build me up and that's how I'm going to get my shot, I'm all for it. It's a perfect opportunity for me to go back perfect my game and come out and show what I've got to give. I'm willing to earn it, I'm an entertainer and I am one of the best in the world"

1Q 6x6
Initially I thought I'd do a monthly update on my progress, but realise I better settle on trying for a Quarterly update instead and be quick about it. With the exception of Napoleon's Battles (which is a more involved game to set up, at least the way I play it), these games are all fairly easy to do taking only one to two hours (Impetus being the exception requiring around four).

I counted your Basic Impetus games (so by my reckoning you're done with Impetus), but seem to have missed the DBA one - can you find the link for me please?ReplyDelete
That's a fair call on Basic Impetus.ReplyDelete

I like this public service announcement because it addresses an elusive concept that's been on my mind for some time now: carbon emissions. I've read several examples of saving X tons of carbon saved for driving less, using energy-efficient appliances, and so on. But what the heck does a "ton of carbon" mean? What does it look like, smell like, feel like? There's no visceral experience related to that abstract concept. (At least, I've not fathomed it.) So that's why I like this PSA because it provides us a concrete metaphor (i.e., elephants) to raise awareness on climate change. I think this guy is on to something...I like it very much!

A Cute Packaging Alternative
One way to reduce the amount of packaging is to simply ask for minimal packaging. I recently blogged about this topic as did Closet Environmentalist. But is there another way to reduce the use of styrofoam packaging?
Yesterday, I celebrated Christmas with my department chair and her family. After brunch and exchanging gifts, my chair showed me one of her latest knitting projects. (In case you didn't know, I like to knit!) I was blown away by her newly discovered project - not only is it NOT a scarf (which is the only thing I currently know how to knit!), but it replaces the use of packaging peanuts altogether!
See the cute dolls in the boy's pouch? They're called 'comfort dolls.' These so-called comfort dolls are used by ICROSS Canada, which is an organization that assists poor children and their families in Africa. These dolls serve two purposes: First, they're used for packaging medical supplies (so no styrofoam peanuts used!), and second, they're gifts for the little kids. What a brilliant and creative idea!
Ok, so maybe it's unreasonable for me to ask amazon.com to package my goodies using comfort dolls, but that's because we're not thinking creatively about our packaging needs and desires! I love this project because it's jammed-packed with meaning and simple innovation. Be creative, make a doll, reduce plastic packaging, comfort a child, provide medical support to the needy. What more could you ask for?!

Merry Christmas!
Driving home from Louisville, KY on the 22nd of December, it occurs to me that this can be a strange and paradoxical season. It's the winter solstice and, as if on cue, the temperatures drop and the wind blows icy cold creating a numbing chill. This uncomfortable condition is only exasperated by my somewhat twisted sense of obligation and competition that finds my home thermostat – now at 62 degrees --creeping ever lower. But, at the same time, this is a time of hope. The shortest day of the year means that the sun has turned and the days will now start to get longer. And by design, the early Christians chose this time of the year to celebrate the birth of Jesus. So,what does this all have to do with an environmental blog about plastic bags?
I guess it comes down to a question as to whether you are a "glass half full" or "half empty" kind of person. Or, perhaps more appropriately, are you a "landfill half empty" kind of person. Do the winds of December depress you or does the knowledge that we are now 1 day closer to Spring bring you some comfort? Me, well, I am a dyed-in-the-wool fence-sitting kind of guy.
Last week, I was at Martin's and I turned down a plastic bag – again. I have not kept track of how many times I have done so, but I know it is more than the number of dates I have had in the past two years. So, that is a good thing. But, at the same time, I feel like I am jousting with windmills, unable to make even a blip of a dent in the number of bags that fly out the door of even this one store. So, to try to make my bag refusal more than an empty gesture, I always tell the checkout person WHY I refuse the bags and remind them that they are the first line of defense against this insidious plague. Usually I get a blank stare or a protest that limiting the number of bags they give out could directly correlate with the time they spend in the unemployment line. But this time, the two people behind me agree and chime in, and even the check out lady says, "You'd be amazed at how many people turn them down." And, they next day, the bagger, a young man in his late teens, adds to my speech, "Yeah, they are bad for the environment." So, I am feeling better about life in America. Some people actually do get it.
But then, the next night I am staying at a Holiday Inn Express in Louisville, and all I can see, everywhere I look, is plastic. The wastebaskets and ice buckets are lined with plastic bags. There are two bars of soap, each wrapped in a tiny little plastic bag. The coffee for the coffeemaker is in a plastic bag. And, the plastic cups are wrapped in little plastic bags. I am staying in a plastic hell.
But, every ying has its yang. The next day I go grocery shopping with my son and I am shocked – and elated – to learn that he has purchased 10 reusable shopping bags from Meijers! The bags cost him $1 each, but he gets 5 cents off the contents of every bag he uses. He tells me the bags are also available at Krogers. So, there is some financial incentive for him and grocery shopping suddenly became fun for me, as I proudly bagged and toted his groceries.
So, back in the "Bend" I head off to Martins once again. It is now noon on Christmas Eve and I am still on a little bit of a high from my trip to the Louisville Meijers. The parking lot is packed and I feel fortunate to have found a reasonably close parking. I walk across the lot and see a guy I know vaguely from somewhere. We both are in the Christmas spirit and we exchange a nod, a smile and a quick hello. Then I enter the store and suddenly I experience the strangest sensation. The aisles are packed and patrons are stacked 6 deep at every available checkout counter. I am sure there must have been some music playing and some decorations and Poinsettias, but all I can see – I mean ALL I can see – are plastic bags. Plastic bags bombard my visual senses. I can see NOTHING else. Dozens of full stuffed bags huddled in shopping carts, hundreds of bags pouring out the door, and thousands more lined up like piles of deadly ammunition waiting their turned to be fired off into the world. Baggers are grabbing them and filling them faster than I could ever hope to count. My second thought – right after, "damn you, Michelle!" – is the utter hopelessness of the battle we are waging.
Suddenly, I am depressed. It's Christmas Eve, and I am depressed. I trudge off and buy three apples, carrying them in my hand rather than using the plastic bags provided. I pick up a jar of peanut butter and head for the express lane. The guy in front of me is a friend of mine. He is an attorney, and one of the most unemotional and stoic people I know. We chat briefly, then it is his turn in line. He has only one item, and he refuses the bag! I congratulate him on his decision and he says to me as he is leaving, "We all do what we can." !
Finally, I, too, turned and left. As I passed the final checkout lane a lady was paying for her load of groceries. Like so many others, her cart was stuffed with bags. But these bags looked different. I walked over to take a closer look – they were re-usable bags from http://www.papernorplastic.com/. And once again, I was a landfill half empty kind of guy.

Japan, ahead of its time?
I lived in Japan for a while, but I never saw this: A bra that seconds as a bag! Apparently, the bra can be removed and converted into a reusable bag, for all your shopping needs. The question for the ladies (since I'm a guy and don't know these things) - isn't it a bit awkward at the checkout to take off your bra and use it as a reusable bag? I'd say so, but Japan is known for its quirky inventions and its overpackaging, so maybe this is the soluion.

Two ideas for reducing waste
1. Bag reduction
At my local store, they give a discount for bring in one's own bag. The reduction is not much - 5 cents. Imagine if the store instead gave a 50 cent discount. Now that's worth bringing bags for! Usually I have 4 bags for my trip, and that's $2.00...that can buy me coffee, while 20 cents doesn't even get me a gumball on the way out the door. But, you say, the store will go broke in no time! Not if the store CHARGED people who did not bring their bags 50 cents per bag. That's a hefty price! The 50 cents can offset the 50 cent discount that the bag reusers get. But, you say, sooner or later, people will realize that they have to bring their own bags, and the problem is that more people will be bringing their bags, and the store will go broke! Not if the store begins reducing the discount to the people who bring their bags to 40 cents. The bag reusers will have less of an incentive to bring their own bags, but still, 40 cents gained is better than 50 cents lost. One could continually adjust the cost of the bags and the discount given until a pareto optimality is reached so that the store neither gains or loses any money from the bag program. Why would a store do this? Because it is better than the status quo where the store pays for the bags - the bag incentive program pays for the bags.
2. Home recycling
In many municipalities such as my own, you place your trash and recyclables out on the curb. I see many people with multiple trash bags but no recyclables. The other trash day, I noticed through the plastic of one of these people's bags that there were numerous cans and bottles that could have been recycled if the person wanted to. How can we make this person want to? Simple: charge people for the weight of their trash, and pay people for the weight of the recyclables. Why not? There is a certain cost to removing trash in terms of creating landfills and the like, and a certain monetary reward for recycling in that it produces raw materials such as aluminum and glass. At the current time, people do not see the economic cost or benefit of either, except that they know that their trash pick up is paid for through their taxes.
The fee system (i.e., how much a pound of trash or a pound of recyclables costs) would have to be determined for the pareto optimization here, and this brings up a number of ethical issues (i.e., people stealing each other's recyclables and leaving trash in front of other people's houses) but I believe it may be possible to resolve these problems (i.e., locked trashcans that are unlocked by the garbage person, just as my mailbox is unlocked by the postal worker. Why would a municipality want to do this? Because once again, it places the cost from the municipality onto the people. Those who want to be wasteful can still be wasteful. They just have to pay more for it. Those who want to conserve can conserve. They will be paid for their efforts.
Unfortunately, I do not believe that environmental education works well. This is not to disparage blogs like this: Environmental education works sometimes. Take me. Sure, I never thought of plastic bags before I encountered this blog, and now I am up to having reduced the number of plastic bags in this world by over 530 bags. Not a drop in an ocean, but it is a start. But to make real change, society needs to get everyone doing it. And to get everyone doing it you need to speak to them in the only language we all speak, which is not the language situated in the brain, but the language situated in the wallet.

Carrots, Underwear, and Plastic Bags
You're probably wondering how I'm going to tie all that together aren't you?
Inspired in part by this blog and by peace blog, I have been trying a little harder to live an environmentally conscious life. This means, among other things an attempt to use fewer plastic bags. The problem is addressable at the check-out counter by bringing one's own bags or simply refusing to take a bag when buying just a couple of items that can easily be carried without a bag.
It's a little tougher when dealing with the packaging of the things you are buying. It seems that everyone, everywhere has decided that their precious product must be protected by a hermetically-sealed, sterile barrier. And so the plastic bags still come into the house, and the option that remains is to try to find a way to reuse the bags.
Well, I'm happy to report that Fruit-of-the-Loom has decided to help us along with that little objective. I was in TJMaxx the other day looking to purchase some new underwear (yes, this blog entry is getting a little too personal!), and I noticed that the Fruit-of-the-Loom variety came in a re-sealable plastic bag! Why this would be the case, I could not fathom. Did they think that I would feel the need to return the underwear to the bag after wearing them? Or perhaps they thought I would take out one pair and want to keep the other pair "fresh" until I was ready to wear them?
But then it struck me: they must be trying to make it easier for me to re-use the plastic bag! I couldn't help but be impressed with the ecological leanings of the company and decided right then and there that FotL was the brand for me!
I wasn't immediately sure exactly what to put in my new resealable underwear bag, but I just had to give it a try, if for no other reason than to honor the opportunity that the corporate giant had provided for me. I know it would have been more appropriate to use apples or grapes, but I didn't have any, so I filled up the bag with carrots and put them in the refrigerator. I ate a carrot this morning and I must tell you that I've never had a fresher vegetable in all my life!

UPS: Changing Colors From Brown to Green
Well, my friend Dan pointed me to a recent article published in the NY Times. It looks like UPS is changing their colors from brown to green! I was surprised to learn about their new policy to reduce carbon emissions, mileage, and gas costs for their company.
The policy? Don't make left-hand turns.
It sounds too simple, right? Yet, this minor tweak has provided UPS and the planet with great savings. By reducing the number of left-hand turns, UPS trucks have driven 28.5 million fewer miles and saved 3 million gallons of gas. Wowza!
I'm encouraged to know that businesses are adopting sustainable practices - surely, UPS is reaping economic and environmental benefits from this new policy. That's fantastic news, which is just in time for the holiday (shopping) season!

The number at the top of this page is off by 0.0000000001%
Yes, and that's because today, at Whole Foods this evening I refused my 500th plastic bag since having first stumbled upon this page. That's 500 fewer bags ending up in landfills. I've been counting since I received from Michelle Verges a set of canvas bags that I bring everywhere with me.
This includes small bags, the kind that they give out at gas stations when you buy a can of soda. I hate those little bags the most. What use do I have for a little plastic bag? As if I couldn't hold that 12 ounce can in my own hands?
Because of this general annoyance, the other day, I completed a little observational study and watched bag use at Philadelphia's equivalent to 7-11 (called Wa-Wa), 100 people go through the line. All were offered plastic bags. Seven refused the bag, and 93 accepted the bag. Of the 93 who accepted the bag, 20 threw away the bag at the trash can at the door of the store. So the bag was of use to these individuals for a sum total of less than five seconds.
In psychology, we often speak of the affordances of objects - fuzzy objects have a certain affordance that makes you want to pick them up - sharp objects an affordance that makes you want to handle them carefully. I wonder how much could be changed if just the affordance of the store were changed - if you simply were not offered a bag, but had to ask for one. I doubt that any of those 20 who tossed the bag at the door would have asked for one. For them, in fact, the bag seemed something of an inconvenience - something to get rid of. I admire the seven for simply refusing the bag outright. The problem is to change the 20 into people like me, who have no interest in carting around billions of bags.
But I find the social interaction and reaction of people to be somewhat startled when I refuse bags. Almost as if by refusing a plastic bag, I am violating the store schema we're all used to in which we walk out with our items neatly bagged. An awkward moment of trying to figure out what this means, that I wouldn't take a bag, or that I had my own bag with me. Just the other day, I bought a bottle of cologne, and the clerk made me put a little sticker on it saying "PAID" - as if there was some kind of guard who would have tackled me at the Asian Market and refused to believe the receipt that I had in hand.
Most disappointing in saving 500 bags, that perhaps a dozen or so times, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the clerk throw the unaccepted plastic bag into the trash behind the counter - as if simply because the bag has been pulled from the dispenser that it is in some ways polluted - as if the next person who walked in would be disgusted by a bag not visually pulled from the dispenser thingy. That seems silly, quite frankly.
Hopefully this will change in the future. With blogs like this, it may be possible. I think everyone should start counting the number of bags they refuse!

Why Should We Care About Bees?
So this issue has been percolating in the back of my mind for some time now. And just this morning I found a trailer for a documentary called, "The Vanishing of the Bees." If you have a moment, take a look at this trailer. Hopefully, this film will provide critical information as to why we should care about bees.

(that leg part 1, part 2, part 3)
One day he said, I think I can do everything Jon asks me to do today. And he did.
And then he chose to take the stairs at church.
And then they let him graduate. The shirt is diploma.
Congratulations buddy. They didn't give us enough shirts though, we all earned that shirt!
We got to return the wheel chair. This happy occasion called for a selfie.

Images of what looks like a refresh to Motorola's online store gives us a sneak peek at what the company has in store, including the Xoom 2.
Pocket Now uncovered the leaked images, which include shots of the Xoom 2 and anticipated Android phones such as the Motorola Targa.
We doubt these photos will be exactly what the final versions of these devices will look like, but it's pretty clear Motorola is getting ready for a big launch.

Streets of Rage 2
'Crust does it again!'
That's what the Daily Mirror will say when I hit the big time! I mean wow!
I'm really going all out here aren't I!
I thought I would make a page to celebrate the Sega Mega drives Streets of Rage 2. In fact I thought I'd dedicate a page to it for a number of reasons. Those reasons being:
1. It's my childhoods computer gaming in a game
2. Having recently playing on the Mega drive again I purchased that bastard for Ł9
3. Well I want to get my Ł9 worth now. Skanky fucking dill hole shop owner!
'WOW! From these unseen screen shots I can't wait to play it again!'
Yer so I go into a wanky computer store. Not much dissimilar to a market stall, but in a shop if you can imagine it?
There you go! that's what it looked like! I looked for Streets of Rage2 but to no avail. Fucking cunt has got it stashed in the back! Charged me Ł9...like a Vanilla Crown I payed it!
'Bladdy 'ell Crust!'
Even this ex pat thinks I' m mad. This guy has killed people for less than that.
Thats a badass cover int it! Bitchin'. It shouts 'You ready for a good old fashioned Street Brawl'
This tough guy below is
This guy wasn't in Streets of Rage 1, 2 or 3 but he is ready for a good old fashioned brawl!
He's gonna rough and tumble his way through the day.
Wow! This bit is part of the ending sequence! Wow and double WOW!. Thats Adam! He's the renegade black cop from the first Streets of Rage! He wears leather and a tight yellow top. Action clothes I like to call them.
This is another ending sequence screen shot I found! Wow! I feel like a real herowhen I get an ending like this! Those two crazy characters are Max and Blaze. Max is the fourth character. He's thrown in for nor reason and is way to oversized for the screen. He's also wank. Really wank. He doesn't even punch properly. He chops enemies like the fanny he is. The bird is Blaze. Token female. Never been her nor do I know anyone who has.
This guy rocks! He's called Axel, the name of a true champion. He's always been my personal favourite. He has screen presence and in some respects carries the game. He is a retro icon for a modern era. That's alls I can say and I can says no more.
This clever dude did all the motion capture for Streets of Rage! He did every single move! He got a bit carried away in some bits and made his own moves up. Sega didn't use those ones. Who wants to see a character pissing all over the enemies? Not me. Unless you have a big piss fetish?
Should have got Chevvy Chase I thought. He's a gaming icon in my eyes.
This guy played Streets of Rage for real. He lost. Its a warning folks.
You can fight in a Street of Rage,
but you can't Rage in a random Street.
Just remember that.
One please. You do know this bus is limited stop? One Way to the Main Page!

Little did you know that I watched,
enchanted by soft movements,
gentle as the summer rain.
Time stood still while this moment
roared with pregnant serenity,
your fingers curled around
the page edges.
As you read, I read too,
your quizzical look, the sudden
bursts of joyful laughter,
stunned beyond borders.
But the greatest story does not end,
tended as it is by love and the
unending rush linking desolate hands.

Following the superb Seven Men from Now (1956) and The Tall T (1957), Decision at Sundown (1957) was the third of seven low-budget westerns starring Randolph Scott to be directed by Budd Boetticher in the late 1950s. Though spare little B films, most of these pictures are now regarded as among the finest westerns ever made, right up there with the work of John Ford, Anthony Mann and Howard Hawks. With little interference from the Columbia Pictures front office, Boetticher and his talented collaborators were thankfully left alone to do their jobs. As the director later said, "We had control of those pictures. Nobody thought they were anything, so nobody bothered us."
Usually in these films, Randolph Scott plays a man bent on seeking revenge for his dead wife, and his character is often borderline psychotic and similar in manner to James Stewart's obsessive characters in the Anthony Mann westerns. Further, Boetticher tends to integrate his characters into the barren landscapes so fully that it's as if they are outgrowths of it.
Decision at Sundown is a little different. While it has an offbeat, edgy Randolph Scott character, it's not so interesting in the landscape department; instead it keeps all the characters mostly confined to a small town. There the action plays out in a more verbose way than is the norm in Boetticher's movies.
The opening is a dandy, as Scott might say. A disheveled, stubbly-faced Scott holds up a stagecoach from the inside, gets out, and is met by his partner (Noah Beery, Jr.). The two ride off to the town of Sundown, where, we learn, a man named Tate Kimbrough is to be married that afternoon. Scott has ridden in to kill him for having an affair with his wife years earlier, which led to the wife's suicide, and Scott announces his intention at the wedding itself. From there until almost the end of the movie, Scott and Beery hole themselves up in a stable, with the corrupt sheriff (Kimbrough's top henchman) too cowardly to smoke them out, and the townspeople too weak to stand up to Kimbrough and his men. In the meantime, it becomes clear that Scott's wife was not the saint Scott believes. The static situation of this story does arouse a certain amount of suspense by the end, as a big part of the movie's substance is whether or not the townspeople will find the courage to take action. In the end, Kimbrough's fiance (Karen Steele) and mistress (Valerie French) figure prominently in an unusual twist.
Working without Burt Kennedy, his favorite screenwriter, Boetticher did what he could with this yarn, but the movie, decent as it is, just doesn't work quite as well as the others. Even Boetticher thought so. In an interview years later, he correctly said that the picture doesn't really revolve around Scott's character like in the other films: "It was the story of a town, the story of a lot of people," he said. Despite Boetticher's low opinion of Decision at Sundown, it was well received by some reviewers such as this notice from Variety: "Role is an offbeat one for Scott, but he carries off the gunman's frustrated rage well...this entry stacks up as one of the better of the new-fangled Westerns."
In his autobiography When in Disgrace, Boetticher wrote, "Decision at Sundown was the only Scott picture I have honestly considered - well - 'so-so.' My pal, [screenwriter] Charlie Lang, did the best he could with the story Columbia had bought. I didn't enjoy the sequence with Randy being drunk and, although we had a wonderful cast with John Carroll, Noah Beery, John Archer and Andrew Duggan, for me it was just another picture. But Karen was sensational! She looked like a million dollars; played the secondary part to perfection, and I really had her costumed to show off that unbelievable figure."
It should be noted that Boetticher never counted the turkey Westbound (1959) in his official list of Randolph Scott pictures; he made that film merely as a favor to Scott, who owed Warner Bros. a movie, and it has almost nothing in common with the others. As for Karen Steele, Boetticher had met her while preparing Decision at Sundown - and while he was also going through a divorce. Boetticher fell so hard for Steele that he put her in the cast in place of June Lockhart, whom he had previously decided on for the role.
Boetticher's affair with Steele would prove tempestuous, to say the least. Boetticher later recounted: "I guess it takes a young director a good while before he begins to understand that the girl he sees every evening up there on the screen is his version of what he wants from a woman. She's not for real. There you are, holding hands in the dark projection room with your leading lady, and simply adoring that gal in the film. Of course you are. You put her there! Everything she is doing up there is what you like... Well, brothers, grow up.... I ended up getting exactly what was coming to me - a bellyful of misery, absolutely ill about my family, and thoroughly disgusted and angry at my own stupidity. A motion picture director should only become involved with an actress in spite of her profession, not because of it."
After three years, the relationship ended, but by then, of course, so had Boetticher's marriage. Later he would marry and divorce Debra Paget before finally marrying Mary Chelde in a 1971 union that lasted 30 years, until his death.
As for Randolph Scott, he topped off his long Hollywood career with by far his best work in Budd Boetticher's films and his final feature, Ride the High Country (1962).

You've been asking for it for ages, and now we've finally succumbed – at long last, we are now stocking wool! Gorgeous colours, soft merino strands in invitingly squishy balls of loveliness. Check these babies out, currently appearing in our spring themed window:
Aren't they lush? And that's not all the range, over the coming months we will be stocking up with more colours and giving you the chance to tell us what you like best. I personally love the turquoise contrasted with the pale pink, or the deep teal with the reddish pink – simply delicious colours. These yarns are all 100% pure merino wool and knit up as double knitting on 3.5mm or 4mm needles, making them fantastic for a huge variety of projects, from clothing and accessories to socks and fine knit hats and gloves. Once I've finished spending all my time on Pinterest wading through inspirational patterns, I'll get cracking on my first new wool makes!
And that's not all – coming very soon to the shop will be more fantastic yarn in the form of super duper chunky cotton, just perfect for the summer. These extra chunky cottons come in a range of colours just as beautiful as the merino, but since they're a lot bigger, they knit up really quickly making them ideal for beginners. For anyone that thinks of knitting as a winter pasttime, these cotton lovelies will make you change your mind, so keep your eyes peeled on Facebook for when they hit the Emporia shelves.
If you're inspired by these beautiful colours and fine wool to get knitting yourself, but you've never done it before, now is the time to sign yourself up for a beginner's knitting lesson and make yourself a special skinny spring scarf. There's one more session on Monday 23rd March, and two more on Monday 20th and Monday 27th April 2015. The classes start at 6pm and last two hours, giving you the chance to learn all the basics including casting on, knitting, purling and casting off. The class costs £25.00 per person and includes 100 grammes of merino wool or 200 grammes of cotton yarn. Give us a ring or fill in the contact form for more information.
So this is just the beginning of our little woollen adventure – let us know what you think of the yarns, and what else you'd like to see in the shop and maybe by this autumn, we'll have even more for you to choose from.

Kids triathlon 'about investing in our youth'
The City of Jacksonville and Jacksonville University have joined the list of community partners for the 2013 First Coast Kids Triathlon, which will be held in May 4-5 at JU, Mayor Alvin Brown announced Wednesday.
More than 2,000 youth athletes are expected to participate in the fifth annual event, which organizers called the largest in the country for children, according to a news release.
"The First Coast Kids Triathlon is about investing in our youth. More than sport, it's an opportunity to encourage character development and hard work while teaching about the spirit of competition," said Brown.
The event, he said, will help guide "young people on a path to healthier, more active lives," he said.
More than 350 volunteers are expected to help stage the triathlon, with as many as 6,000 spectators observing, according to the release.
"Jacksonville University is proud to partner with the city and First Coast Kids Triathlon to host this outstanding event for our local youth," said JU President Tim Cost. "We fully support efforts to improve the health and esteem of our area's young people. This triathlon fits well with our goal to make our campus and its expansive riverfront available to the community and deepen the connection between JU and the North Florida area."
Tom Gildersleeve, event director of the triathlon, said organizers "could not be more proud" to add the city and Jacksonville University as partners.
"Families across the First Coast have experienced the power of being motivated to be healthy and active through our efforts over the past four years, and these new partnerships will allow us to expand this positive influence," he said. "Our new venue is truly world-class, and we hope it brings national attention to the fact that Jacksonville is home to the largest kids triathlon in the United States."
Other community and corporate partners are Jaguars Foundation, the YMCA of Florida's First Coast, Florida Blue and Firehouse Subs.
Race distances will be set by the USATriathlon, the governing body of the sport under the U.S. Olympic Committee, and every race consists of four components -- swimming, biking, running and transitions. There are two divisions. Juniors 10 years old and under complete a 100-yard swim, three-mile bike ride and half mile run. Seniors ages 11 to 15 complete a 200-yard swim, six-mile bike ride and one-mile run, according to a news release.
The triathlon also features a first-of-its-kind program to introduce youth from underprivileged communities to the sport of triathlon. In a seven-week program ahead of the event, 60 youth will learn to swim and be taught the fundamentals of bike safety, proper nutrition and injury prevention. Then the youth will participate in the triathlon, according to the release, and keep the equipment they used.
The community partnerships also support the triathlon's outreach program that provides free healthy lifestyle classes in Northeast Florida schools. Every school that forms a team for the triathlon will earn their share of more than $10,000 that will be used to help schools buy equipment, supplies and materials necessary to keep kids healthy and active throughout the school year, according to the release.
More than 12,000 kids are expected to participate in the education seminars, with more than 1,200 kids representing their school at the event.
For more information about the triathlon, go to firstcoastkidstriathlon.org or contact event director Tom Gildersleeve at firstname.lastname@example.com or (904) 448-2707.

That's almost a >textbook example of valuing spec authors over everyone else. Selectors are even less expressive today than what was proposed at the time Robin brought this issue up the first time on www-style, over a de- cade ago, as far as document structure is concerned. The main thing the CSS Working Group has done since was printing some Selectors Fan shirts. I am not sure who that is valuing, but it's neither authors nor users. Your argument about languages is interesting of course. If you want to set styles statically, you use CSS syntax, but if you want to do so dy- namically, you have to use JavaScript syntax once you leave the trivial feature set of CSS syntax. Maybe using JavaScript syntax for both would be better, so authors don't have to learn a whole new language? Authors might actually agree if they see future style sheets full of variables, mixins, media queries, feature detection rules, plus their jQuery codes to fill the styling gaps, that JSSS should have been the way to go. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.

Danny Heater Scores A Record Setting 135
The ride-hailing service that enables smartphone customers to get a ride started operating in the Youngstown region Thursday night. In conclusion, soccer and basketball are each enjoyable based on what you like better, each are physically demanding although basketball calls for you to reach full speed in couple of seconds and then stop and leap up and then turn around to get back on defense, and also not to mention moving sideways when defending can be fairly tiring as there are not any breaks other the finish of quarter, timeouts and subs.
The fourth icon allows you to select from the various kinds of sports activities talked about earlier: soccer, hockey, basketball, tennis and cricket. Remember that you need to register or log in to ESPN making use of your Facebook account in order to configure your favored sports. So pleaseee don't criticize basketball if you dont know something bout basketball 🙂 thank you.
DC SCORES is without having question a force for good in our community" said Alex Bearman, Executive Director of District Sports. Kids' Choice Sports 2015 is also now offered on the Nick App and by signing in by means of participating Television Everywhere providers, and via Nickelodeon On Demand. Envision that in basketball…initial group to score in OT wins…hell, you can use the exact same argument. In the 2012-13 NBA season, each and every group scored an average of 98.138 points per game.
From my encounter, these do apply to me, and I adore it when my wife tries to realize and talk sports with me. I bet your husband will also. Adhere to Euro 2016 scores live on FlashScores: Saturday 25 June Wales v Northern Ireland, Sunday 26 June France v Ireland, Monday 27 June England v Iceland! What a wonderful list…I like ESPN but I generally just stick to my Twitter feed for sports updates.
But it turns out that the truly intriguing issue, for evaluating the sports at least, comes from comparing these margin numbers to the score numbers above. Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala says he plans to play Game 7 of the NBA Finals in spite of a balky back that restricted him the earlier game. A sports that needs a lot more than 1 player is a group sport and all team sport requires teamwork. I like each sports but I hate hearing how soccer sucks because you never score 100 per game.

Crowded after-parties aren't Ed Sheeran's scene anyway.
For the fourth year in a row, everyone's favorite romantic was turned away from his own label's post-Grammy celebration at Milk Studios. The party, which was held at Warner Music Block Party in Los Angeles, filled up to max capacity in just one hour.
Sheeran dished about the parties for On Air With Ryan Seacrest this morning when the musician was invited in studio to celebrate Valentine's Day.
"That's actually happened four years in a row, and that's not just my label's after-party!" he laughed. "That's just after-parties in general."

Dont mean to sound rude, But what is your question. and/or where is the problem?
rcrc wants to remove Linux and re-install Windows.
Which version of Linux do you have? And what is it that you can't do with it?
You either need to return the system as described in the owners manual, or you need a legal copy of XP and more than likely some drivers.

Here's WEON, the latest avant-garde instrumental project that stems from a collaborative effort from Scandinavian producer Kriswontwo and bassist MonoNeon (born Dywane Thomas, Jr.) a Memphis, Tennessee native, that dropped just last month.
Kriswontwo made his debut in 2010 with his Directions By Forest Won album that featured the vocals of Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow. MonoNeon played bass on the album. Since then, Kris has released a number of EP's and singles that featured the likes of Alex Rita and MC Johnny Prince. He's currently set to release another full length album and an EP in the near future.
MonoNeon's work includes playing bass for The Bar-Kays, Denise Williams, The Sylistics and Ne-Yo, just to name a few. He's well known for his upside down slap and pop style. Meaning, he's left handed, but uses a right handed bass that he plays upside down. MonoNeon gained the attention of Marcus Miller with his unique playing style. In a Bass Player magazine interview, Miller mentioned MonoNeon as one of several "young bad cats" he has met on the scene.
For now, we're gonna keep it short and sweet with "Ananse". They are offering the full project as a "name your price" deal. Don't forget to show love.

Rangers Rinkside Reporter John Giannone Takes a Puck to the Face, Keeps Reporting (Video)
One of the best developments in hockey broadcasting in recent years has to be—no, not FOX's puck halo—the rinkside reporter. Having a guy right there between the benches, within earshot of the players, refs, and coaches, really helps the viewers at home get a sense for what's actually going on at ice level.
That being said, while reporting from the sidelines of any sport can be a perilous job, reporting on hockey from ice level without the protection of the plexiglass can be downright life-threatening.
Just ask John Giannone, the rinkside reporter for the Rangers on the MSG network. On Thursday night at the Garden, as the last few seconds were ticking off the clock in the second period of the Rangers-Islanders game, Giannone took a puck right to the kisser.
You have to hand it to Giannone. He never played in the NHL or anything, but he sure took that puck to the face like a pro. The guy got right back in there and reported on his own injury with the blood still streaming down his face.
See for yourself:
Somebody give that guy a raise.

Kevin om sin stavhopps-karriär!
These days, Kevin Jonas makes a living as a pop star along with his superstar brothers, Joe and Nick. But there was a time when Kevin had to mow lawns for pocket money and, back in his after-school days, Kevin was a member of the track team. Yes, Kevin Jonas used to be a jock.
"When I was 17, my favorite sport was pole vaulting," Kevin recalled in this week's episode of MTV's "When I Was 17," which also features stories from Katharine McPhee and Bret Michaels. "Freshman year of high school, my history teacher actually asked me. He's like, 'You're going to join the track team. You should be a pole vaulter.' "
After some skepticism about doing it and initially being confused by what was expected of him as a pole vaulter, Kevin quickly changed his mind. "I was like, 'Oh, OK. Whatever.' And then I realized what pole vaulting was," he remembered. "And I was like, 'Yes! Please!' "
In the episode, Kevin's uncle Josh shared just how much Kevin enjoyed the sport. "He loved it — he loved the challenge, always tried to go higher, the extra next level."
Now, Kevin spends his time at "Camp Rock," but back in the day at high school in New Jersey, it was all about Camp Track. "Pole vaulting was my passion. I even went to a pole-vaulting camp, yeah," he said. "People laughed at me for a while about that one, but it was cool."Källa: MTV

Allan Schwartz, LCSW, Ph.D. was in private practice for more than thirty years. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states ...Read More
The photo is of a happy couple with a long and enduring marriage.
Many years ago a psychiatrist referred a couple to me whose relationship was fraught with pain and anguish. Without giving a long list of details about this conflicted relationship, suffice it to say that they agreed on nothing. Much worse than having few things that they agreed about, there was a lack of respect that was shown by a complete disregard for the other's feelings and needs. For example, if she needed the bedroom dark for her to fall and stay asleep, he turned the light on to read. This resulted in countless arguments with each justifying the reasons for and against the reading light being turned on. It was more important to prove that they were right rather than having any empathy for the needs of the other. I remember how, during the sessions, they turned to me to argue their case as though I was judge and jury. It should go without saying that this relationship did not survive.
According to an Psychology Today, a good marriage is defined as:
"the process by which two people who love each other make their relationship public, official, and permanent. It is the joining of two people in a bond that is generally considered to last until death, but in practice is increasingly cut short by divorce."
The present blog will not explore the reasons for the high rate of divorce but will look at the ingredients that cause husband and wife happy to be with each other over a life-time.
According to John Gottman, the psychologist who is expert in the field of marriage and conducts vast amounts of research on the topic, the most important ingredient in a good marriage is deep friendship. By this he means that there is mutual respect and understanding and an deep and intimate understanding of each others likes, dislikes, tastes, preferences and idiosyncrasies. An idiosyncrasy is a thought or behavior that is peculiar to the person. They are normal and all of us have them.
Contrary to popular opinion, couples who, when they have arguments marked by shouting, are functional or strong if they understand and respect each other. Despite the shouting, their combativeness is limited and controlled. They remain optimistic about the marriage and, soon after the argument, and move to repair things soon after.
while tensions and arguments are part of any relationship, successful marriages include lots of talking. Relating means communicating. Basic to all communication is speaking and listening. It's even more important for each spouse to hear what the other is saying as compared to speaking. Even if there are interruptions, the over riding quality is of feeling and knowing that one is being heard.
Recent studies focus on the element generosity in the relationship. By generosity is meant all the ways that successful couples take care of one another. Beyond sharing dishwashing and house work, these couples are demonstrate affection with hugging, kissing and holding hands. They also do considerate things such as complimenting new clothes, general appearance, gratitude for something he or she did, and generally showing appreciation for things that are big and small.
One of the well known quotes that comes from the field of Gestalt Psychology is that the "whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. In other words, a happy marriage does not result simply by enacting some of these behaviors but by really meaning it when they are done. It's the mixture of these things that result in something deeper and more profound than absent mindedly kissing your spouse when you go out the door.
Do you have a happy marriage? Please share with us the things that make your relationship successful or conflicted.

Introduction: Since the days of Hippocrates, there have been descriptions of children who were unable to move their arms following birth. In 1764, Smellie was the first to describe a bilateral paralysis in a newborn that eventually resolved. In 1872, Duchenne de Boulogne coined the phrase "obstetric brachial plexus palsy" to correlate his findings of excessive tractioning of the brachial plexus during birth and the resultant arm paralysis. The brachial plexus is a group of nerves that include the lower cervical nerve roots C5 – C8 and the first thoracic nerve root T1. Due to their locale through the anterior vertebral foramen past the clavicle and towards the upper extremities, they are easily injured with excessive tractioning of the upper extremities and/or the head, such as during the birth process. Erb's classic description of injury to the upper brachial plexus resulting now bears his name. In 1885, Klumpke clinically described the resulting injury to the lower brachial plexus that also bears his name 1.
Anecdotes and testimonials are plentiful in chiropractic on the successful care of patients with obstetric palsy. However, the same could not be said with their documentation in the scientific literature. To address this deficit, we present the successful chiropractic care of a patient with Erb's Palsy focusing on its clinical presentation, risk factors, and treatment options. In so doing, we hope to contribute to the development of sound strategies in the care of similar patients under the paradigm of pediatric chiropractic.
Clinical Features: The patient described in this case report was an 8-yr-old female with Erb's Palsy since birth. According to her mother, the mechanism of injury involved excessive tractioning by the obstetrician which the patient's mother described as, "pulling so hard that the bed moved forward." Prior to her chiropractic consultation, the patient was under medical care which her mother described as visits to the physical therapist. Despite this type of long-term care, the patient continued to experience the consequences of Erb's Palsy. These involved both cosmetic deformity and dysfunctional use of her right arm and shoulder. According to both the patient and her mother, this restricted the patient's ability to play with her peers, to participate in gym class and was socially stigmatized.
Upon inspection, the patient demonstrated the pathognomatic waiter's tip deformity of the right upper extremity. Her right elbow was fixated in flexion at 30°, the ipsilateral forearm fixated in 25° pronation and her right wrist in extension at 40°. Furthermore, there was noticeable scapular winging on the right. Digital palpation of the wrist extensors and flexors revealed muscular rigidity without tenderness as were the muscles of the right shoulder girdle. Active range of motion (ROM) examination was restricted throughout her right upper extremity. At her right elbow, active ROM was restricted on both flexion (AROM: 45°) and extension (AROM: 165°). The patient could not pronate or supinate to end-range when compared to the left side. With respect to the right glenohumoral joint, restriction and asymmetry was notable throughout all directions on active ROM (see Table 1). Orthopedic testing for the upper extremities was not performed as the patient's noted deficits were confounders. Neurological examination revealed generalized sensory deficit with respect to Type II and pain and temperature sensations on the right. Myotomal testing was weak at all levels on the right (as compared to the left) with deep tendon reflexes being unremarkable.
Full spine examination of the patient demonstrated the following. Digital palpation of the paraspinal muscles throughout revealed tenderness and hypertonicity at the upper cervical spine muscles (C0-C1 vertebral levels, bilaterally), at the C6-C7 paraspinal muscles (bilaterally), at the T3-T5 paraspinal muscles (bilaterally), and at the L4-L5 paraspinal muscles (bilaterally). Static and motion palpation at the above sites of tenderness revealed segmental dysfunctions at C1, C7, T4, L5 and the right ilium. Tenderness and hypertonicity was also notable at the right upper trapezius muscles, the right levator scapula muscles, the right rhomboid muscles and right teres muscles. Hypertonicity/rigidity was notable at the right deltoid muscles (anterior, middle and posterior), the right suprascapular muscles, the right infraspinatus muscles, and the right teres major and minor muscles. The bicep and tricep muscles on the right were also hypertonic/rigid to palpation which was progressively worse as one palpated the wrist extensor and flexor muscles. Interestingly, there was not the expected tenderness often seen with muscle hypertonicity. To the contrary, digital pressure to these hypertonic/rigid muscles did not elicit any discomfort for the patient, unlike that seen in other patients that elicit a reflexive withdrawal due to pain and tenderness.
On the first visit, the patient was adjusted using the Diversified Technique at C1 (ASR or -qX, -X) and C7 (PR or -Z, +qY) in the seated position; T4 (PR or –Z, +qY) in the prone position and at L5 (PR or -Z, +qY) and the right ilium (PI or -qX) in the side posture position. Furthermore, the right scapula was fixated superiorly compared to the left scapula and therefore was adjusted with a high velocity low amplitude thrust in the posterior to anterior and superior to inferior directions, contacting the superior and inferior poles of the right scapula, respectively. There was noticeable improvement in the patient's right shoulder range of motion - especially on abduction from 15° to 45°. The adjustments were followed with soft-tissue technique that may be described as "myofascial release" to the above described muscles. The wrist flexors and wrist extensor muscles, the biceps and triceps muscles, the deltoid muscles, the upper trapezius muscles, the suprascapular and infrascapular muscles as well as the teres muscles. As previously described, in addition to the palpable rigidity of her muscles, she had a high tolerance to the deep digital pressure applied. From our experience with other patients (adults or children), the amount of digital pressure exerted to her was relatively high and yet, she was not the least bit uncomfortable. The above-described approach to patient care was typical of every visit involving full-spine adjusting with myofascial release of the muscles of the right upper extremity as described above. The patient was scheduled 3 times per week for 6 weeks followed by a review and update of the patient's condition and response to care. During the first 6 weeks, the patient was also instructed to continue her visits to the physical therapist which was described by her mother as mostly resistive exercises in the pool. Following 6 weeks of care, the patient's overall condition had improved such that her range of motion in the right arm and shoulder had increased. Additionally, her strength in the right arm had also increased as was noticeable on myotomal testing. Given the patient's positive respone to care, she was scheduled at the same frequency of care for another 6 weeks with continued improvement in her range of motion and strength. Following 3 months of care, the patient was released due to full range of motion of the right elbow and shoulder (see Table 1). The patient's fixated posture on pronation, elbow flexion and wrist extension were no longer apparent on inspection. Also notable during her care was that with continued improvement, the patient's tolerance to deep tissue work became less. The muscle rigidity she initially presented with became less and less. Long-term follow up with the patient was positive overall. The patient's parents were very happy with their daughter's response to care. So much so that she was rock climbing after a few months of being released from care. She was no longer stigmatized by Erb's Palsy and was on her way to developing into a confident, active young lady.

Conclusion: The case presented demonstrated that chiropractic care in the form site-specific, high velocity, low amplitude thrusts to sites of vertebral and extravertebral subluxations in combination with soft-tissue work described as myofascial release may be beneficial in patients with long-standing Erb's Palsy. Continued documentation in the form of case reports/case series as well as higher level research design studies will determine the role of chiropractic care.

So what's the big deal then? We grew garlic last year. In fact -- we had a GREAT garlic harvest last year -- as was detailed in this very blog here.

Good looking garlic. I just harvested mine. Some varieties produced nice big bulbs and others hardly produced even though they died off with the others. I still have some late plants in some planters out front. Hopefully they get big.

Hiya Bill and Venus. Newbie gardener here. Do you mean that the bed was full of worms? Or that the actual bulbs were ruined by having worms within them? Thanks, Katy Lawson, Who Plays In The Dirt

- Bill Bird said...
There were some fat earthworms in the soil -- PLUS some worms that had "wormholed" their way into some of the garlic heads themselves. I'm not really sure if they were the same, fat, earthworms that I saw in the soil or a different kind of invasive worm that's bad for crops. I normally check the UC Davis crop guides for pests and diseases that strike various crops -- but didn't see anything detailing worm problems in garlic. However -- I did have them. Fortunately? I think we lost mebbee four-five heads? I suppose we can live with that.

Good morning. Here's the news:
1. Reuters reports: "European finance ministers have been warned confidentially of the danger of a renewed credit crunch as a "systemic" crisis in euro zone sovereign debt spills over to banks." The report recommends that "further reinforcement of bank resources is advisable."
2. German Chancellor Angela Merkel today rejected joint eurozone bonds as "absolutely wrong." Reuters reports that she instead believes that "restoring stability to the single currency bloc required a longer-term step-by-step approach."
3. The Wall Street Journal reports: " Europe's financial crisis intensified Wednesday as banks moved to obtain more dollars for loans to their U.S. customers, and some nervous corporate clients began looking to banks outside the euro zone for loans."
4. George Soros writes a smart summary of the eurozone crisis and why it remains unresolved. He then argues that only a European Treasury, with the power to both spend and tax, can resolve the crisis. If something like this is not done, Soros says, a Second Great Depression will likely follow.
5. World Bank President Robert Zoellick yesterday said that the world had entered an economic danger zone and Europe, Japan and the United States all needed to make hard decisions to avoid dragging down the global economy.
6. Fareed Zakaria opines that China should bail out Italy (and thus save the eurozone). He argues that such a move would allow China to earn its place as a "responsible stakeholder" in the "councils of power." Why China would make such an investment remains unexplained.
7. The Sunday Times of London reports that, according to a Goldman Sachs report, the US will become the world's top oil producer in 2017.
8. The insufferable knowingness of the Obama Administration continues to annoy George Will, along with tens of millions of Americans. Will writes: "Barack Obama, a pitilessly rhetorical president, continues to grab the nation by its lapels, demanding its attention, and is paying the price: The nation is no longer listening. This matters because ominous portents are multiplying."
9. US military equipment is badly in need of a thorough (and expensive) upgrade. The US Air Force, in particular, needs modernization.
10. President Obama next Monday will send his deficit reduction package to Capital Hill. The package is unlikely to include any cuts to Social Security and may offer no adjustments on Medicare. The White House was (and is) alarmed by the fact that "protecting" Social Security did not work for the Democrats as a political issue in New York's 9th Congressional District special election two days ago.
11. Texas Governor Rick Perry yesterday spoke about his faith and his purpose in life at Liberty University. Following two uncertain debate performances, he was moving to shore up his base among evangelical voters.

Looking at the Facebook page shows a lot of information about me, my name, age, my activities, my likes and dislikes, photos of me, my friends, and my wall posts. It also depicts the person I am in my personal life, as opposed to a professional identity that would identify me in the working world.
The YouTube channel is similar, although it gives little information to visitors about myself. It shows my age and the country I live in. However, it only has one video uploaded which is a personal video, which identifies me personally, and not professionally.

Friday Morning News
On the opening day of WWDC, John Gruber hosted a live version of his The Talk Show podcast, where he was joined by special guests Apple SVP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller and Apple SVP Software Engineering Craig Federighi. While the audio and video versions of the podcast aren't available online just yet, the trio talked about many topics in the just-announced iOS 10, including Messages improvements, Siri's SDK, and even why the Mac App Store appeared to be the red-headed stepchild.
During the podcast, Craig Federighi clarified that deleting Apple's pre-installed apps in iOS 10 doesn't actually delete them, but does remove the system hooks and any user data stored within them. Sadly, taking this at face value means that it seems unlikely Apple will allow third-party apps to become the default handlers, as third-party apps are prevented from registering, say, the mailto:// URL handler protocol.
With watchOS 3, Apple has decided to go back to basics and thrown out a complicated user interface, adding speed to make watchOS 3 much more usable. Macworld's FAQ of watchOS 3 says that glances are going away in favour of glanceable apps, which now launch much faster and support interaction methods cohesive to a tiny, wrist-mounted display.
WatchOS 3 tidbits from 9to5Mac show that you can disable screenshots on your device, and there's now more granular options for what counts as waking the device (depending on your "session"). There's now a bunch of new watch face complications which act as shortcuts to apps, which might not be the worst idea now that apps are genuinely usable.
You might think Apple's focus on Messages improvements in iOS 10 are being a little overzealous or appealing to the under-20s crowd, but Macworld explains that messaging is huge now. After all, Messages is the most-used app on iOS, even in an era of Snapchat, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, and whatever other chat app you care to name.
The first developer beta of iOS 10 appears capable of turning on a "dark mode" on a per-app basis, but only within the iOS 10 simulator in Xcode. It's entirely possible Apple decided the feature wasn't ready for the big stage, and instead will release it as part os iOS 10.1 or similar.
MacRumors says that the hardware-free WWDC event means that Apple has set the stage for a busy second half of the year. With every Apple product lineup expected to see big changes (with perhaps the exception of the iPhone), new MacBook Pros, Apple Watches, iPad minis, displays, and other accessories are all eligible for hardware updates in the coming months.
References in macOS Sierra reveal the possibility of a MacBook Pro with OLED mini display (which we kind of knew about already) and Touch ID sensor (which we didn't). A really cool concept of what a MacBook Pro with built-in OLED display could look like is over at Martin Hajek's website.
A concept of the rumoured deep blue iPhone show off a really classy device.
Thanks to a jam-packed WWDC week, I haven't come across any cool iOS games for the weekend. But can I just draw attention to the fact that Craig Federighi dismissed a friend request from Taylor Swift during a demo? Then again, it was probably someone from Apple's marketing department having a little fun, much like the unrealistic iOS camera and incongruous set of family images.

Australian crowdfunding platform VentureCrowd has partnered Sydney Angels - an angel investor group - to give more local startups a chance to access venture capital.
Sydney Angels, a group of more than 70 high net worth investors, will refer startups to the VentureCrowd platform that can benefit by crowdsourcing funds from sophisticated investors.
It is the only angel group in Australia with a dedicated sidecar fund, worth $10 million.
Since 2008, Sydney Angels has made more than 35 investments, of between $200,000 and $500,000, in companies such as Ingogo, Venuemob, Posse and DriveMyCar Rentals.
The partnership will help to grow the number of startups that could join the VentureCrowd platform, which has already been used to fast-track growth in companies such as Ingogo, Fame & Partners and CrowdMobile.
Artesian Venture Partners chief operating officer, Tim Heasely, said the Sydney Angels were passionate about identifying 'the next big thing' in a variety of sectors, and we are excited to leverage their due diligence skills and expertise as well as their highly methodical investment process for investors on the VentureCrowd platform,
According to a company statement, Sydney Angels has spent years building extensive deal flow of high potential startups from which they filter the most investable startups.
Sydney Angels members employ a collaborative due diligence process to determine which startups receive investment.
Sydney Angel management committee member, David Jackson, said he believed more head were better than one in early stage investing.
"So by pooling our expertise and networks, and sharing the work, we can come to a consensus view on the merits of a deal and investment terms," he said.
"That way we can keep the failure rate of the startups we invest in to a more acceptable level than it would be without good due diligence."
VentureCrowd, backed by Artesian Venture Partners, works with around 25 partners including early-stage business incubators, accelerators, venture capital firms, universities and digital agencies.
This network of partners provides pre-screening and selection of startups that feature on VentureCrowd, ensuring wholesale investors on the platform are accessing the best deals currently available.
VentureCrowd previously worked with Sydney Angels to co-invest in fashion technology startup Fame & Partners. The partnership will formalise an approach to further collaborate in 2015.
Jackson said Equity-based crowdfunding was a great way to access a different group of investors and to top up an investment round led by more experienced professional investors, like Sydney Angels members.
"We support this investment method as complementary to existing ones, not an alternative," he said.
"It would be great to see equity crowdfunding platforms like VentureCrowd opened up to retail investors."
Wholesale investors, keen for unrivalled access to the most exciting start-up businesses in Australia, can register online to become involved in other deals offered on VentureCrowd.
Investors can invest as little as $1000 on the VentureCrowd platform.
VentureCrowd encourages wholesale investors to build a diversified portfolio of start-ups to mitigate the risks involved in startup investments.

Analog Hand Clap Stompbox / Module
The Delptronics Thunderclap is a classic analog hand clap effect based on the famous hand clap sound of the TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines. Our version has extra knobs to tweak the sound from claps to finger snaps to snares to cymbals to thunderous crashes.
The Thunderclap has four knobs: noise level, filter, decay and volume. The knobs can be ajusted to create hundreds of unique percussion sounds. Turn the knobs to approximately 11 o'clock for the classic hand clap. Turn them all the way up for an effect that sounds like getting hit in the face with a metal trash can lid!
The Thunderclap can be manually triggered by pressing stomp/trigger button, or externally triggered by any positive pulse from a synthesizer, sequencer, or drum machine. It makes a great accompanyment to a TR-606 or Delptronics LDB-1.
It also also has a built-in mini-sequencer. Hold down the record button to record a sequence of trigger events (button or external) and the pauses between them (e.g. "clap - - - clap - clap"). Then, whenever it is triggered, it will play back the recorded sequence instead of a single clap. To loop the sequence, hold down the trigger button, then press the record button. A trigger event will stop playback of the loop. Pressing and releasing the record button with no trigger events clears the recorded sequence. The sequence can be up to 32 steps long, and the pauses can total up to two minutes.
The Thunderclap Stompbox comes fully assembled and tested in a heavy-duty aluminum enclosure with awesome graphics (pictured below).
