When I heard that a guy in a goat suit was crawling around on a mountainside in Weber County last week, my investigative journalism instincts took over.
"Man in goat suit" is exactly the kind of story I was born to report. It's got "Pulitzer" written all over it. I immediately called my best source.
Sonny: "No, it's not me."
Me: "Yeah? Say 'baaaa' for the record."
Sonny said a word not normally heard in Sunday school and hung up on me. Because he was the only solid lead I had, that's as far as my investigation went.
That's OK. I'm pretty sure I don't want to know why a guy would put on a goat suit complete with horns and follow around a bunch of actual goats.
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources spokesman Phil Douglass told the Associated Press that the man "may just be a wildlife enthusiast."
You think? Even if he's up to no good, he's a wildlife enthusiast. Normal people (nonwildlife enthusiasts) don't dress up like a large animal and try to cozy up to the real thing. They watch the National Geographic channel
Even decidedly disturbed people like me stay home and blow up stuff in our garages. We don't don a cardboard armored vehicle costume and sneak onto the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range.
I bring this up because there's a reason why you don't see people walking around with mountain goats on leashes. They have really sharp horns attached to relatively dull minds. They're dangerous.
Personally, I do not trifle with dangerous animals large enough to have their way with me. This includes trying to sneak up on them, an act that is rarely received as well as it was intended.
I know, because I've tried. I've lost up-close fights with the following easily annoyed animals: cow, mule, horse, donkey, goat, dog, ostrich, llama and a girl named Nancy in the fourth grade.
And those were domesticated animals, large, dim-witted things with ostensibly some idea of manners when interacting with humans.
Wild animals are a whole other set of scars. I've lost fights with them, too, including a monkey, moose, owl, anteater, seal, penguin, buffalo and bear.
I didn't actually fight the bear. Some friends and I were hiking through Oregon one summer during blackberry season when we encountered a fresh pile of purple poo in the middle of the trail.
"Raccoon," the slowest thinker in our group opined.
The rest of us concluded otherwise. We were looking at recent signs of a raccoon with a serious anabolic steroid problem, or a bear. We fought each other to lead the way back to the trail head.
Then there was the forest monster in the Pacific Northwest, a clammy, foul-smelling creature I blundered into in the dark while looking for the latrine. A series of 9mm muzzle flashes revealed Boone's wet suit hanging from a dry line.
In none of these cases did it occur to me that I should dress up like the offending animal and creep back for a closer look and/or goring.
I'm just not a wildlife enthusiast. It's nothing to be ashamed of even in Utah. I'm only glad the story didn't immediately morph into a claimed sighting of a yeti, a ghost, or one of the Three Nephites.

First, let's construct the segment AB and choose a random point on CB:
Now, let's draw a line through D, that is parallel to AC. We'll label the intersection of the
parallel line and the circle E.
Let's construct another circle with radius DE, but centered at E. Notice that DE and DB are equal because
they are both radii of the same circle.
We'll label the intersection of our new circle with AB as the point
F. Let's construct a line parallel
to DE that goes through the point F.
Construct a line through EF and another line parallel to EF through
D. Hide the circles to make
the drawing less cluttered.
Notice that EF and DG are equal because they were constructed by parallel lines. Similarly, DE and FG are equal. From before, we know that DE and EF are equal, so the figure below is a rhombus.
Construct a line through BG and label its intersection with AC as
X. Construct a line parallel to GD
that runs through X. Label its
intersection with BC as Y.
How do we know that X and Y are the points we are looking for? From similar triangles:
Triangle GDB is similar to triangle XYB. Also, triangle GDB is an equilateral triangle because GD =
DB. Therefore, triangle XYB is
also an equilateral triangle and XY = YB.
Also, triangle BGF is similar to triangle BXA. Since GD = DB = GF, we have that XY =

TEAMS: Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos
For the second week in a row, the Houston Texans won in convincing manner as they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-7 in Jacksonville. Unlike week one however, the Texans dominated from the start and left no doubt as to their superiority over their AFC South rival.
The big stories from week two for the Texans was the reemergence of their rushing attack and their record setting defense.
Offensively, RB Arian Foster ran for 110 yards on 28 carries and one touchdown while RB Ben Tate carried the ball 12 times for 74 yards and 2 TDs. The big difference between yesterday and the Dolphins game was the play of the Texans' offensive line, which against a solid defensive line reasserted themselves as a domineering unit. The O-line still has a ways to go in terms of improvement and cohesiveness, but better controlled the line of scrimmage against the Jags and opened more holes for Foster and Tate to run through.
More impressive than the Texans' rushing offense was it's total defe...

WASHINGTON — Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt told lawmakers here Wednesday that he's suing the United States over the health care law because the Internal Revenue Service ignored Congress' intent to let states opt out of key provisions.
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt explains health care lawsuit on Capitol Hill
At a House subcommittee hearing criticized by Democrats for politicizing an issue that's now before a federal judge, Pruitt said the IRS had effectively forced Oklahoma to comply with the requirements of state health insurance exchanges even though Oklahoma had decided not to create one.
"The regulation appears geared more toward enacting the agency's own policies than faithfully following the implementation of the law passed by Congress," Pruitt said at the hearing, led by Rep. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma City.
Pruitt's suit, in federal court in Muskogee, contends that the health care law's system of subsidies and tax penalties only apply to state-created exchanges, which are online marketplaces where people can shop for health insurance.
Oklahoma and 33 other states have opted not to create their own exchanges, meaning that the federal government has to establish them. Pruitt's lawsuit, based on the work of a conservative law professor and libertarian researcher, contends that the law's plain text provides financial incentives and penalties only through state exchanges, not ones set up by the federal government.
The U.S. Justice Department is fighting Pruitt's lawsuit in court; the federal judge must first decide whether Oklahoma has the legal standing to sue over the rule.
Official defends IRS rule
At the outset of the hearing, Lankford said, "The leaders in my state decided to protect our employers and workers from the employer mandate tax penalties and protect future generations of Americans who will face increasing debt by not creating a state exchange.

Now entering its 8th decade, the original market was little more than an empty lot with wooden stands set up by farmers during the Depression so they could sell directly to city dwellers. Eventually, permanent buildings grew up, including the trademark shingled 10-story clock tower. Today the place has evolved into a sprawling marketplace with a carnival atmosphere, a kind of "turf" version of San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. About 70 restaurants, shops, and grocers cater to a mix of workers from the CBS Television City complex, locals, and tourists brought here by the busload. Retailers sell greeting cards, kitchen implements, candles, and souvenirs, but everyone comes for the food stands, which offer oysters, hot doughnuts, Cajun gumbo, fresh-squeezed orange juice, corned beef sandwiches, fresh-pressed peanut butter, and all kinds of international fast foods. You can still buy produce here -- it's no longer a farm-fresh bargain, but the selection's better than at the grocery store. Don't miss Kokomo (tel. 323/933-0773), a "gourmet" outdoor coffee shop that has become a power breakfast spot for showbiz types. Red turkey hash and sweet-potato fries are the dishes that keep them coming back. The seafood gumbo and gumbo ya ya at the Gumbo Pot (tel. 323/933-0358) are also very popular.
At the eastern end of the Farmers Market is the Grove, a massive 575,000-square-foot Vegas-style retail complex composed of various architectural styles ranging from Art Deco to Italian Renaissance. Miniature streets link the Grove to the Market via a double-deck electric trolley. Granted, it's all a bit Disney-gaudy, but the locals love it. Where else can you power-shop until noon, check all your bags at a drop-off station, get a spa treatment at Amadeus Aveda Spa (tel. 323/297-0311; www.amadeusspa.com), see a movie at the 14-screen Grove Theatre (tel. 323/692-0829; www.thegrovela.com), have an early dinner at Maggiano's Little Italy (tel. 323/965-9665; www.maggianos.com), and be home by 7pm?

You'd be forgiven for thinking the new iPad was the only tablet around, given the furore – and the sales success – of the third-gen model, but what if, for one reason or another, you're left unswayed by Apple's shiny slate? There's a world of tablets outside of the iPad, and for the moment Android is the main competition. Read on for our top three picks for the iPad-avoider.
One of Apple's big boasts with the new iPad is the battery life: 9hrs with LTE active. However, how does over 17 hours sound to you? ASUS' Eee Pad Transformer Prime keeps the innovative battery-equipped keyboard dock of its predecessor but steps up the style with more expensive materials and a slimmer chassis. It's still thicker than the new iPad, but the upshot is far easier content creation than using an on-screen keyboard.
We fell for the Prime in our original review and the subsequent Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade did nothing to dissuade us, the combination of Tegra 3 and the docking flexibility ensuring it a place in our bag. The only blip on the horizon is the upcoming 700 Series with its 1920 x 1200 display, a step up in resolution from the 1280 x 800 panel on the current Prime, though still short of Apple's Retina Display. Still, if you're serious about runtimes and text entry, the Transformer Prime has plenty of appeal.
One size fits all has been Apple's strategy with the iPad so far, but Android tablet manufacturers have no such qualms about offering differently scaled slates. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 aims for your jacket pocket, a 7.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display front and center with a sturdy casing that still manages to be just 7.89mm thick. Pixel density of the 1280 x 800 display may be down on what the new iPad offers – 196 ppi versus 264 ppi – but it's a bright, colorful, rich panel with fantastic viewing angles.
Samsung is arguably Apple's strongest rival in tablets, and the Galaxy Tab 7.7 shows the degree of polish the company can achieve. It's not cheap – $499.99 with a new Verizon LTE agreement – but it's beautifully made and very portable; more details in our full review.
Apple's iPad 2 has been kept on as the entry-level model in the company's tablet range, now $399, but Barnes & Noble's NOOK Tablet undercuts it considerably: $249 for the original version, or $199 if you can cope with less storage and memory. It's a 7-incher like the Samsung, but with a budget focus; however, Android enthusiasts with a mind for tinkering have discovered it's also a fantastic starting point for hacks and tweaks.
B&N would rather you stuck with its ebook store and app download store, and usability from the reskinned interface is straightforward if unsurprisingly lacking the speed and gloss of the new iPad. Still, at half the price, for web surfing, messaging, ebook reading and multimedia the NOOK Tablet is a solid and affordable choice.
More choice is in the pipeline, and not just running Android. Windows 8 marks Microsoft's push back into the tablet segment, with the first models expected in late 2012. Microsoft has done plenty of work bringing its Metro UI up to speed with finger use, and the new support for ARM processors should mean the traditional Windows tablet bugbears of short battery life, heavy build, mediocre performance and loud fans are all addressed.
More details on all the latest tablets in the SlashGear Review Hub, including our full new iPad review. Any of these tablets catch your eye, or are you still convinced a new iPad is the machine for you? Let us know in the poll below!

Casio has enhanced its GREEN SLIM projector line with four more models to suit just about any budget and needs, coming in the form of the XJ-A255V, XJ-A250, XJ-A155V and XJ-A150. Users are expected to encounter a better projection experience courtesy of Casio's innovative Hybrid Light Source technology. Operating costs will also be reduced, eliminating time and effort required in lamp replacements without sacrificing on clear, high-quality images even after an extended period of time. Two of the models sport native WXGA resolution at 1280 x 800 pixels (16:10), while USB-enabled models are able to project without a PC or communicate wirelessly with PCs. 3000 lumens of brightness is certainly quite an achievement, considering 800 lumens was the norm for projectors in a similar class size some years back.

I wrote last week about the light copyedits on my manuscript, but I neglected to mention that in addition to pointing out the corrections, my wonderful editor took the time to point out the passages she especially liked.
I can't begin to tell you how good it felt every time I came across a page with a "Great!" or a "Nice!" or a "Terrific!" Some of the passages she marked were my own favorite scenes, and that made the compliments particularly sweet.Over the past few days, I've thought a lot about her kind words, and they still give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. More than anything, they've invigorated my writing and made me more confident about my current project.
But they've done something else, too. They've made me think about how few times I went out of my way to tell a writer something was good (or Great! or Terrific!) when I worked as a copy editor for a magazine and newspapers, and how many times I had the opportunity to make someone's day and didn't.
All too often, this happens in critique groups, too -- when fellow writers detail the weaknesses of a work, but fail to mention the positives. I believe it's important to point out what's right with a story or an article, as well as what's wrong.
I'm lucky to have an editor who knows this better than I do and to remind me how powerful kind words can be.
You have given me much to think about this day, Ms. Cameron. Much indeed. Seriously, I'm TERRIBLE about pointing out the good. And, thanks to you, I can't say that I'll try harder, but I'll try to try harder.

I wonder if this is really aimed at academia.edu rather than the authors. As far as I can tell, Elsevier hasn't (yet, at least) gone after academics posting their own papers on their own website in the traditional manner, i.e. as a PDF at www.university.edu/~jsmith/papers/smith2013bigresult.pdf.

GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, a image format converter, etc.
GraphicsMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries which support reading, writing, and manipulating an image in over 90 major formats including popular formats like DPX, DICOM, BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PNG, PNM, SVG, and TIFF. A high-quality 2D renderer is included, which provides a subset of SVG capabilities. C, C++, Perl, Tcl, and Ruby are supported. Originally based on ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick focuses on performance, minimizing bugs, and providing stable APIs and ABIs. It runs on all modern variants of Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X.
Tux Paint is a simple and entertaining drawing program geared towards young children. It has a simple interface, sound effects, and a cartoon character (Tux, the Linux penguin). Along with drawing brush strokes, lines and shapes, you can also enter text and place "rubber stamp" (or "sticker") images on the picture. Tux Paint is extensible, and could be useful in an educational environment (such as a grammar, elementary, or grade school). It's portable across numerous platforms, and runs well even on slower systems like the Pentium 133MHz.
CinePaint is a deep paint image retouching tool that supports higher color fidelity than ordinary painting tools. CinePaint is used to retouch feature films and for professional photography. CinePaint opens high fidelity image file formats such as DPX, 16-bit TIFF, and OpenEXR, and conventional formats like JPEG and PNG. It has a flipbook for movie playback of image sequences in RAM. It supports 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit color channels, HDR, and CMS.
Barcode Studio is designed to quickly create high-quality barcode images. It is commonly used for pre-press requirements, postal bar-coding, desktop publishing applications, mobile tagging, print shops, and general barcode purposes. It supports all linear barcodes (like Code39, 2of5, EAN, UPC, Code39, Code128, and EAN/UCC128), 2D barcodes (like PDF417, QR-Code, Aztec Code, DataMatrix ECC200, and MaxiCode), GS1 DataBar, and HIBC codes. Barcode data can be entered manually or imported from external data sources. Serial numbers are created automatically on demand. It has a built-in quality preview. Single as well as batch barcode creation is supported via the command line or the graphical user interface. Barcodes can be printed directly, copied to the clipboard, generated as image files (BMP, GIF, JPG, TIFF, or PNG) or exported as vector graphics (EPS, EMF, WMF , PDF, or PostScript). The created barcodes are useable immediately: Just insert the barcode graphics into your artwork, database, form, or any document.
Pixel is an application for editing, retouching, manipulating, and animating RGB, CMYK, and HDR images. It was formerly known as Pixel32. It is available for Windows, Linux, Linspire, Mac OS X, BeOS, Zeta, QNX, MorphOS, FreeBSD, eComStation, OS/2, SkyOS and even old plain DOS, for both x86 and PowerPC architectures.

Beyond troubleshooting, you can help your business gain productivity and save costs by applying a complete service management lifecycle to application performance:
Performance Vision can provide a continuous view of the end user experience compared to your organization's service levels. This information can be displayed or provided as reports distributed by email. With this information you can provide your users with complete transparency on the performance of your applications.
Performance Vision provides key statistics to understand the behavior of applications; based on relevant data, you can:
There are many possible ways to optimize application delivery on a network: adding network capacity, flow prioritization or compression, thin clients… The same thinking may apply to host optimization like client or server configuration, or resource allocation.
To determine the most efficient and cost effective way to deliver an application in your context, you need to be aware of the weight of each performance driver on the end user experience. Unless you have access to such data, you take the risk of investing time and money in solutions that cannot bring the expected benefit.
Unless you can provide concrete and impartial information about the performance of your applications, your application vendors will first blame your infrastructure (network or server) for any performance defect of their application in your environment. You need clear facts on the actual performance levels, on the origin of the degradation and the type of transactions that are impacted, to hold them accountable for the resolution and to help them qualify where the issue comes from.
This way, you can help your application partners improve the service they render to your organization.
IT teams have to make sure they are ready to cope with changes and new uses of their infrastructure. The risks attached to the deployment of new applications or migrations in the infrastructure (application upgrades, datacenter migrations...) can have a huge impact on business productivity. Making sure the infrastructure is ready to deal smoothly with new applications and infrastructure is part of the duties of the administration team; on the other hand, as budgets have to remain under control, it is also important for the network manager not to over-invest in capacities.
Migrations and deployments are challenges for an IT team: the team is often under pressure to deliver the new application on time. The behavior of a new application in a production environment at a large scale is not fully foreseeable. Often such applications represent large investments and the expectations of business users are set high.
Being able to prepare the migration, run the preproduction phase and switch to production correctly is key to making a migration or a deployment a success and requires a certain number of capabilities such as listed below:
Before any migration, it is highly important to understand how an application chain works:
Performance Vision provides you with a complete view of the application chain, so that you can keep the migration under control and avoid performance degradations due to an incomplete / inadequate process.
Before deploying a new application or version, Performance Vision helps you determine the network prerequisites for a good application quality of service:
Performance Vision keeps track of performance before, during and after the migration. This way you can:

Champaign NFTC WR/DB One-On-Ones - Part 1
Champaign NFTC RB/LB One-On-Ones
Introduction to 2014 DB Nick Watkins
The Buckeyes are looking at many elite defensive backs in the 2014 class. One of these players is Bishop Dunne (TX) defensive back Nick Watkins, who was recently offered by the Buckeyes, and many other top programs. Texas has yet to offer Nick, but I definitely see them doing so at some point in Nick's recruitment. I recently caught up with Nick to breakdown his recruitment to this point. Keep checking back for updates on Nick, as we willing be keeping in-touch throughout his recruitment.
- Notable offers: Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan, Baylor, LSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas A&M, and Arkansas.
- On offer from Ohio State: "I was in chemistry class when they called me coach. When my coach informed me of the offer, I was very excited. Ohio State has a winning school, and great tradition.
- Not sure about camps this summer, as he is coming off a hip flexor injury.
- Might take visits to Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan this summer.
- Factors: "I am looking for a school that best fits me. I am looking for a school with a good business, or mechanical engineering schools. Football factors would be facilities, and the chance to play early."
- Wants to decide senior year: "I am in no rush to decide on a school, I want to take everything in, and explore all my options."
- Strengths: "I think I am well rounded. I can play zone, man, and press coverages. I am also real strong on the field, and never have mental lapses."
- Improvements: "There's room for improvement everywhere, but I would most like to work on strength, and speed over the summer."
- Growing up, Nick was a Texas fan, Vince Young was his favorite player.
- Off the field: "I watch a lot of movies, play Madden, NCAA, and hang out with friends."
- Goals: "Team goal is to make it to states, and form a winning program. Individually, I would like to get 40-50 tackles, 10 picks, and a few punt return touchdowns."
The latest on 2013 ATH Adrian Baker
Ohio State has 11 commits from the class of 2013 and the coaching staff is out and about looking for the next players to join the others. One option is Hallandale, Florida standout Adrian Baker. I recently got in touch with Florida athlete Adrian Baker to discuss his recruitment. Baker has the ability to play Wide Receiver or Cornerback and is being recruited to do both by some of the best programs in the country. He is just a playmaker. Adrian outlined to me what is going on with his recruitment and what his upcoming plans will be.
"Right now I have offers from Florida State, Florida, Nebraska, Clemson, LSU, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Wisconsin", said the playmaker from West Hollywood. "I will be at Ohio State's camp on June 22nd. I would like to perform well enough and get the offer from the Buckeyes. I'm pumped about going up there, and I talked to Coach Coombs and Coach Fickell and their excited I'm making the trip. They are recruiting me as an athlete. Coach Fickell tells me how I have the ability to make it to the NFL. It's awesome to hear that from a coach like him."
I gave a little spoiler last night but Baker has named a Top 3 in no order that includes Florida State, Oklahoma, and Ohio State. Here is what Baker had to say about all 3 of his leaders.
"Florida State is very interested in me. Their actually strictly recruiting me as a cornerback, and say I have a great chance to see the field early which is always something you want to hear as a recruit. Oklahoma is actually where my cousin went to school. Coach Stoops is a great coach and their a school that is rich in tradition. They have a great program and are always competing for championships. What I love about Ohio State is the tradition and having Urban Meyer as the head coach. I was actually a fan of Miami, but I know how successful he was as head coach of the Gators. I also really enjoy how all their coaches are great family guys."
Adrian Baker also mentioned to me that even though Ohio State is recruiting him as an athlete, they have told him that they are done recruiting corners. Baker's best shot at obtaining an offer from the Buckeyes might be with the ball in his hands. Ohio State has obviously made an impression on Baker landing in his top 3 list of schools.
I will be keeping in touch with Baker and will keep you posted on any new developments.
Visit update on 2014 Hilliard Darby Safety Devon Rogers
When I last spoke to Devon, he was returning from visiting the Ohio State spring game with high school teammate Caleb Day. He enjoyed that visit and he also enjoyed his visit today to the campus. Here is what Rogers had to say.
- "It was really nice to go and see all of the campus. It was the first time I got to see it all football-wise. I was very impressed with everything."
- I got to see the entire Woody Hayes Athletic Center, the Meeting Room, Film Room, Weight Room, all the training facilities, and was able to check out the stadium which was neat."
- On what the coaches had to say: "I got to speak with Coach Fickell, Withers, and Coombs. They really like my film and say I'm up there on their recruiting board. If I do well enough at camp I could come away with an offer. Urban wasn't there but they want me to visit again to be able to talk to Urban. I'll set that visit up when I am up there at camp."
- Other camps/visits: "I am working on setting things up to where I will be going to camp at Wisconsin and Michigan State. I am camping at Illinois on Friday and Syracuse on Monday. I also am planning on being at Cincinnati July 22nd for their Friday Night Lights camp. I'll also be camping at Akron and Kent State. I'm saving the Oregon camp for my senior year."
I'll be staying in touch with Rogers throughout his recruitment and will have updates on any new developments.

We had a rough night. Munchie was up most of the night with a fever. I think this is the remnants of her last ear infection. It originally popped up about four or five weeks ago and she was put on the usual antibiotics. When she went in for her 18 month appointment, Dr. R saw fluid in her ear and put her on another round of a more mild antibiotic. Unforch, she didn't quite finish this one. There were a lot of days where she only got one dose because the Hubs forgot. :/ She also never finished the last two days of her medicine because we forgot it at the inlaws. Blerg.
Surprisingly, I'm not that tired. There was a moment last night around 2:00 a.m. when I almost started crying along with Munchie because I felt so overwhelmed and this is only the first week with the Hubs away. The moment passed as quickly as it came and I was able to focus on Munchie. She finally went down completely at 3:00 a.m. I somehow woke up at 6:30 wide awake. I seriously have no idea how I'm functioning right now.
We have an appointment the the doctor this afternoon and I'm hoping Munchie will want to take a nice long nap afterwards, because I sure could use one.

Its so easy to get sucked into a thread only to discover it may be almost 9 years old! The OP in that thread who asked for some help so many years ago either got help or didn't and gave up, by now.
At the same time it can be fun to see what we hashed around years ago.
The problem is that I zoom past the date without registering it in my mind, and the thread or post seems current.
An old paper correspondance looks obviously old. Antiquated fonts and paper condition are givaways before you even see the date. But with computers old posts show up looking exactly like current threads, even with our current avatars.
So I thought it would be an idea to put older posts on a yellow background. For every year old a bit darker yellow or sepia toned. Every January 1 the colors shift so last year is always the lightest shade of yellow.
Oh well, this is the result of having too much coffee before 10 am. But I think its a cool idea.

Clover, Annandale
Sometimes you can't reduce why you like something down to one particular reason. Often, you end up overcrowding your explanation with lots of adjectives – the same way you do when justifying a crush to friends (where you talk someone up as "funny, smart, cute, talented, thoughtful" etc etc, piling on the praise until your friends understandably roll their eyes or laugh).
And so, that's kind of the case with our latest cafe preoccupation – Clover in Annandale. Our list of pro-Clover points is a little long, so here's a trimmer version of why we like this place so much …
First, there's the decor, which is an eccentric and cute jumble of fixtures and furniture. There are kid-friendly teapots filled with crayons and enough mobiles to distract a child from any grand plans of havoc-wreaking. Planter boxes line the entrance; inside, benches and tables sport the pastel palette of '60s girl-pop vinyl covers. The wall cabinet – with multiple die for handles – is full of oddities while cleverly hiding the electricity box behind.
Of course, a cafe can't do much spell-casting if the menu isn't very entrancing, and the food at Clover rightly mixes the comforting and familiar with fresh twists.Baked Beans and Chilli Labne ($10) adds a yogurty tang and spice hit to the breakfast staple while Goat's Cheese and Pesto Omelette with Baked Mushrooms ($10) is a smart rewrite of the classic egg-pan dish. There's also Haloumi, Roast Eggplant and Watermelon Salad ($10), and Open Melt with Prosciutto, Mozarella, Organic Eggs and Tomato Relish ($8), the latter quickly becoming a multiple-order favourite with Will, who declares it a "fancy" version of bacon and eggs. The vego choices are substantial, too. It's enough to make Clover our new breakfast/brunch-going favourite.
The Arabian-Style Bircher Muesli probably will tip you off to the fact that this new cafe is a venture involving two familiar faces from Clipper in Glebe. And like that ever-popular joint, the menu is surprisingly budget-reasonable. Most dishes are $10 or under, fresh juices are $4.50 and while the conventional post-bill experience involves the shock of forking out too much – at Clover, you often feel like you've underpaid, 'cos it is rather decently-priced.
My only (tiny) gripe about Clover is its reliance on disposable cups – all beverage-sipping unavoidably involves plastic being sent to landfill, although at least the juices come in biodegradable containers, I suppose.
That said, can I swing back and give more credit to the clever furniture? The cool wall cabinet was custom-built locally by Three of A Kind (motto: "butt ugly blokes building handsome furniture for beautiful people", phone number: 0409 555 173). Run by Karl and Geoff, who handmake everything, this small company's inventive use of recycled timber can also be seen in the angular-shaped "table/seats" that are dotted near the cafe's entrance. Clover co-owner Adriano demonstrated for us how this cheeky all-purpose piece of furniture works – you can sit on it, use it as a table, link it up with a twin unit and create an extended bench, and so on. Maybe use it for slightly violent means, too, but I don't think that was in the original grand plan.
For a place that's only been open for a few weeks, Clover has been packed on each visit we've made. All the reasons above second this cafe's appeal – the attraction of this joint comes in multiples.
Clover, 78 Booth Street, Annandale (no phone number at last check, but opening hours are Tues-Sun, 6am-4pm).

Suprising and disappointing about the disposable cups. when I was working locally and dropping into clipper most days, the clipper boys were always very impressed with my keep cup and even gave a discount for using it!?!
But it still sounds like a gem. Won't complain about a new cafe with great decor and good food in the area. Look forwrd to checking it out. - January 11, 2010 at 11:51 PM

In the past, lodges have been limited on the number of Arrowmen they can bring to the National Order of the Arrow Conference; however, for NOAC 2012 there will be no lodge quotas. All Arrowmen approved by their council are invited to attend. While not mandatory, lodges are strongly encouraged to maintain a two-to-one ratio of youths to adults within their contingent.
The Council Contingent Reservation and Transmittal form will be available on oa-bsa.org on October 15, 2011
The launch of the BSA's new stategic plan is brining about a new tool to measure performance and recognition. It is being called Journey to Excellence and the OA will being transitioning from the Quality Lodge recognition to the new format in 2012.

I knew even before I ran the half marathon in Philadelphia that I was in a lot of trouble. My knee had been killing me for weeks but I convinced myself that as soon as I had the Olympic Trials marathon standard, I would have time to heal enough to give myself a chance to make the team a few months later. I would not give my mind a moment to consider what I knew to be true. My competitive running days were over.
I limped around for a few days after the race hoping against hope that my knee would feel better. I had qualified for the trials but I would need to train hard to have any chance of making the Olympic team. The pain did not subside and I had no choice but to see a doctor. An MRI confirmed the worst case scenario. I was done.
Then news got worse after the surgery where they removed 55% on my medial meniscus. I have substantial cartilage damage in the joint and will probably need a procedure called microfracture surgery if I ever want to run again. Not race again. Just run. The problem with microfracture is that the recovery will be at least six month with six weeks on crutches and very little activity while I am rehabbing. This was not an option leading up to Kara's Olympic race so I have postponed having this procedure indefinitely.
Retiring from elite racing was difficult enough but not being able to go out and enjoy the sport I love was killing me. I needed an outlet. I needed to exercise and at least try to stay fit, so I started going on long rides on my ElliptiGo. With no impact on my knee I can ride with no pain and at least get some good cardio workouts in. Before my surgery I had been riding the ElliptiGo for a couple years. It was great for cross training but it had never been my primary means of exercise.
When I was first asked to race in the ElliptiGo Founders' Cup World Championships, I was not interested. I love to ride, but it is more for fun and exercise than training for a competition. I know running. I don't know the first thing about any other kind of racing and this race is 11.7 miles straight up a hill with an average grade of 7%. As hilly as Portland is, there is nowhere close to my home to train on similar terrain. But with the encouragement of my wife and the urging of the organizers, I finally agreed to enter the race "just for fun." Will I try to win? Sure. Will I be disappointed with a finish outside the top ten? No. I just want to have fun, push myself as hard as I can, and see what happens. It will be a new experience and I am looking forward to enjoying a different kind of competitive environment.
I am a runner who cannot run. My heart and mind crave the feeling of the earth beneath my feet, but my body has other plans. I feel like a part of me is missing. I would give anything just to be able to run five easy miles a day, but until that happens I will attempt to fill the void with other activities and adventures. I joke with my wife Kara that if I somehow win on Saturday, I will be the first "World Champion" in our house. It brings a smile to both our faces and I am grateful for her support.
I am looking forward to a great experience this weekend. I intend to give it everything I've got and have as much fun as possible with some amazing people. But deep down inside I know one thing. I am a runner. No injury will ever change that!

Going Dark Against SOPA/PIPA
Politics are a big part of my life and I enjoy being socially active in causes I believe in and against causes I think would be damaging. Recently the House (SOPA) and Senate (PIPA) have been discussing two bills for to strengthen anti-piracy laws by wrecking the way the internet works and providing almost unregulated power to intellectual property owners. While I agree that piracy is a huge concern, as the industry I work in can be hit hard by piracy, but the way that SOPA/PIPA go about solving the problem is all wrong.
These bills have the ability to cause catastrophic damage to the way we currently use the internet today and could potentially stop progress and innovation. If either SOPA or PIPA were law these sites would have been closed or gone bankrupt before becoming part of our lives today.

Amazon S3 and WordPress
As I stated in a previous post, I moved all my images, theme files, and js files over to Amazon's Simple Storage Service or S3. The process was fairly simple with the right mixture of WordPress plugins. I'll give you a basic guide on how I moved everything over to S3.
First things first, S3 is just storage. When creating your 'bucket' (we will talk about that in a bit), you select the location in which it will be stored. S3 isn't a content delivery network (CDN), but Amazon does offer that with Cloudfront. Even though this isn't a CDN, it will probably speed up your website as well as reduce burden on your web host, only costing you a couple cents a month (depending on your audience).

I'm In The Clouds!
I've been messing with WordPress for a while and I thought I'd take a shot at Amazon's S3 service and move all of my assets to the cloud. With the type of traffic I get, it will be pennies a month, if that. It is pretty neat and fairly simple to setup. I don't know if I really improved how my website loads, but a fun little project.
While I was working on moving assets to S3, it started to snow! Seattle covered in snow is pretty awesome!
Database Crash. Rebuilding.
My WordPress database died while trying to do some minor upgrades. Some images might not work correctly, but everything else should be 100%. I'll get everything working ASAP.
In the meantime enjoy this sunset from my office window at work.
Retro Gaming Art Show
Tonight I got to check out some talented Seattle artists at Retro Gaming Night at The Piranha Shop. With over 30 artist participating there were all types of styles to pick from. The selection in games was great, Mario, Donkey Kong, Punch-Out!, Ghost 'n Goblins, Battletoads, Dragon's Lair, and more. Some amazing items all which made my pocket book hurt as there were a couple I would have loved to own. Here are some photos from the show.
2011 in Review: Movies
2011 is over. Here are some of the movies I enjoyed.
Moneyball is about baseball and one of my favorite things is baseball and sports movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. Moneyball tells the story of the 2002 Oakland A's and their General Manager Billy Beane and his use of Sabermetrics. While the movie has a baseball theme, the movie really explores Beane's attempt to have some type of success after being a failure as a baseball player.
Drive is a beautiful mess. The cast is top notch, filmed in a style that keeps you watching, and violent. Drive is violent, very violent at times, but done in such a way that it almost operatic. Ryan Gosling is brilliant in the cold calculated stunt drive and Carey Mulligan is gorgeous. Drive is so good at times, it is easily one of the best films. It does have some awkward dialog at times. Mmmmmhmmmm.
Action. Action. Action. That is pretty much what Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol has going for it. That isn't a bad thing, the action is great, especially if you see the movie in IMAX. The sequences filmed at the Burj Khalifa (tallest building in the world) in Dubai is amazing and vertigo inducing. The entire cast is top notch including the always great Simon Pegg. Go see it in IMAX and buy some popcorn and enjoy.
Source Code came out a while ago, but still provide a great experience. Source Code plays out as a interesting present day sci-fi film by Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son). Some parts The Matrix and Run Lola Run, it has you repeating the same sequence in attempt to solve the puzzle.
I'm a huge Conan fan, but this movie kinda change my opinion of him, for better or worse. The guy is crazy and kind of a jerk. I'm sure if you are in his inner circle, you understand his humor, but Conan is somewhat delusional and sad. Always putting himself and his staff down. A very interesting look as one of the funnier comedian of the last decade.
My only foreign film on the list, I Saw The Devil is a violent, gory, revenge film. Much like Drive, this film if gorgeously shot, each shot is brilliant, but the film is easily one of the more violent movies I have ever seen. Add the fact that the main villain is Choi Min-shik known for his role in the movie Oldboy, it makes it even more creepy. Well worth watching, but you have been warned about the content.
Super 8 was one of the more enjoyable movies I saw all year. It is a 80′s homage taking notes from classics such as E.T., Stand By Me, and The Goonies. As someone who grew up on these movies Super 8 hit all the same notes of silly kids doing crazy things under unthinkable circumstances and in the end triumphing over impossible odds.
What were some of the movies you enjoyed in 2011?
2011 in Review: Games
Continuing with my 2011 in Review posts, this time with my favorite games of 2011. I've been quite bad this year as I really didn't pick up many of the games you will see on others lists including Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3, and I have a nice stack of games waiting to be played including RAGE, Resistance 3, Batman: Arkham City, and some others. Out of the games I did play this year, here are the ones that made lasting impressions.
The king is back and DICE and EA have returned with an amazing return to Battlefield with Battlefield 3. Packed with a strong single player and amazing multiple experience, it just brings back great memories of Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2.
Orcs Must Die is the perfect game for me these days. Quick and addictive fun. Robot Entertainment have perfectly combined a tower defense game with a great feel of an action game. For those that like to plan and place traps you have that, and for those that just want to kill Orcs, you have that. The comical nature of trap development just makes you want to be more creative. Well done Robot!
I'm getting older, but blowing up stuff never gets old. The good people at Avalanche Studios have created just the game for that with Renegade Ops. This game combines two of my childhood favorites in Jackal and the Strike Series. Take your vehicle and blow shit up, that simple. Big huge explosions! Great looking graphics, and just fun to play.
What can I say about Uncharted 3 that hasn't already been said. Go play it. It is great. Well done Naughty Dog, can't wait to play The Last of Us.
Dead Space 2 was great. Perhaps a little more action heavy over suspense, but beggars can't be choosers. Everything about it is polished and well designed. I'm looking forward to what they do with Dead Space 3.
It is very rare that I finish a game in just a couple days, but Portal 2 had me hooked. Smart, creative, funny, and just darn right great from start to finish. The only thing that could have made Portal 2 better is Valve to finally upgrade their streaming technology. LOADING…
I remember seeing Deus Ex: Human Revolution years ago at GDC and was blown away by the art direction that they were going after. I followed the game and it didn't disappoint. Amazing in every regard, thrilled to see what Eidos Montreal does with Thief 4.

I've been warning others of police traps for years. I never knew it was illegal to warn other motorists of caution ahead.
It's never been illegal to flash your headlights at an oncoming vehicle. This was an interpretation by the FHP and it was clarified in a court of law by a judge. There's no law on the books that prevents you from flashing your headlights, never has been.
