If you're divorced, dating and guilty of any of the following behaviors, I invite you to stop immediately. As they say, "Do not pass go. Do not collect $200." Just stop.
Here's the official "Yikes! This Sounds Like Me!" checklist that can pinpoint the mistakes you might be making that could be clouding how others perceive you in the earliest stages of dating. (And before you ask, please know that I didn't make these up. I've seen them all in action!)
Look, I get it. Sometimes when you're dating, you may take actions that could be considered "stupid" because you're afraid of being alone. (I call this the "DUI -- Dating Under the Influence of Stupid" -- which you'll want to avoid at all costs!) And, when you are recently divorced, you are most likely out of practice in the dating world. As a result, you are at risk of doing things you normally wouldn't do out of fear and anxiety. I know this for a fact, because I was guilty of it myself after my marriage crumbled and I found myself back in the dating scene after 20 years.
So how can you stop yourself from seeming needy, crazed, or desperate on those early dates? It's pretty easy, actually. Just stop, think and choose, rather than react.
Beyond that, you can use these 10 tips designed to help you step up and take control of your dating in 2012. Be proactive! As you prepare for your next date, set your intentions very specifically before meeting someone new.
Embrace your inner power. Instead of relying on your perceptions of what your date across from you might feel or think, make it a point to stay in the moment. Let your authentic, compassionate and brilliance shine through to increase your confidence and success in dating.
1. Dress for success and modesty. What you wear and how you wear it speaks volumes. The image you create sends clear signals about who and what you are as well as the kind of person you're seeking to be with. If what you want is a fling, go ahead and show off your curves. But if you want a long-term relationship, choose clothing that shows you're classy and have style.
2. Both men and women can set their intention for the date, but if you're a woman, let the man plan the date itself. If you're a man, take the lead. Ladies, don't tell the guy where to go or what to do; in fact, try to refrain from making any suggestions unless he specifically asks you to -- and even then, tell him to surprise you. Let him call the shots.
3. If you're a woman, embrace your femininity and practice the concept of "joyful receiving." If you're a man, embrace your masculinity and practice the concept of "joyful giving." Women, if a guy makes the effort to be chivalrous, say yes and thank you. When a man holds the door for you, tries to pay for dinner, or offers you his jacket, let him! Men, when a woman offers a compliment -- whether it's about your kind eyes or your million-dollar smile or your Italian leather shoes -- accept it graciously. These are great opportunities for women to practice embracing their femininity and for men to practice embracing their masculinity.
4. Don't judge, criticize or complain. Make it a point to let him know you enjoy the decor of the restaurant, but keep the fact that you're not a fan of French food to yourself.
5. Be sure to hold back on sharing deeply personal matters. It goes without saying that this isn't the time to talk about your ex, your alimony or your custody arrangements. You should also avoid talking about medical, financial and family issues early on. The point of a first date is to secure a second date. If you overshare early on, you'll put yourself at greater risk of being eliminated from the dating pool based on an assumption your date made out of context.
6. Be authentic. Every single person I've ever interviewed over the last 25 years assures me that the biggest turn-on is when their date exudes confidence. Ignore your insecurities and fake it till you make it if you must.
7. Focus on what's happening during the date. Have an argument with your ex? Did your daughter drop your favorite vase? Was your boss in a bullying mood? Leave the past in the past and focus on being in the now. Kindness and attentiveness go a long way toward creating the image you want to communicate.
8. Find your happy medium when it comes to hanging out with him or her. Don't answer every question your date asks with a simple yes or no, but don't monopolize the conversation, either. You can be a better listener by focusing on the connection you have with your date. And don't forget to ask thought-provoking questions that are open-ended and prompt him or her to respond with more than monosyllabic replies.
9. Give your date a chance. Don't decide he or she is not a match before the server brings you a complimentary glass of water. Trust your instincts if something is really "off," but do make the effort to go on at least three or four dates with a person before deciding if he or she is right for you. In truth, we get to know people slowly and over time. Chemistry comes to the forefront after you know each other a bit better.
10. Don't sleep with your date. I know that if you're moving on from a divorce, you might crave intimacy. I also know that television would have you believe that people sleep together on the first date all the time. But in my experience, men say they're more likely to find a woman intriguing if she has the confidence to nix the sex, and women find the men more "considerate" in return.

One that can still be reached without over-centering the piston, and risking it jamming... But still far enough back, to allow more free air flow, once the piston unseals from the barrel. In the pic, you can see the seam that is the center of the tee. |

Earlier this week Community Advocates, in conjunction with the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, the Greater Los Angeles Press Club, KPCC 89.3 FM and KCRW, honored LA's three finest broadcast journalists: Warren Olney, Patt Morrison and Larry Mantle. The three pillars of Los Angeles news had never before appeared on a program together.
They received the inaugural Bill Stout Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism named in memory of the groundbreaking television journalist who graced the Los Angeles airwaves for decades. The awards were presented by distinguished Angelenos: former Mayor Richard J. Riordan, Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky and former Times' editor Bill Boyarsky.
Following the presentations, Morrison, Mantle and Olney participated in a panel discussion on the future of broadcast journalism moderated by USC Annenberg School of Journalism professor, Marc Cooper.
The entire proceedings will be on-line shortly.

Pander — to indulge somebody's weaknesses or questionable wishes and tastes.
When Webster comes out with its next edition, it might have as an exemplar of the phenomenon the resolution recently introduced and co-authored by seven members of the Los Angeles City Council on the Occupy Los Angeles demonstration.
City Council members Alarcon, Rosendahl, Huizar, Koretz, Zine, Reyes and Garcetti introduced the resolution that offers the "SUPPORT (sic) [of the city of Los Angeles] for the continuation of the peaceful and vibrant exercise in First Amendment rights carried out by 'Occupy Los Angeles' on the City Hall lawn." Last week the Council unanimously (with three absences) adopted the statement of support.
This official endorsement of an amorphous cause whose purpose has yet to be defined might be ascribed to the electeds' eagerness to identify with the underdog and those battered by economic hard times. A few demonstrators camp on the grounds of City Hall, rail against Wall Street and big banks, attract a few movie stars, and Messrs. Alarcon et al. figure they have nothing to lose — after all, who loves big banks?
But the three-page council resolution goes beyond just expressing sympathy for demonstrators at First and Main streets; it lauds Occupy Los Angeles as "fueled by Angelenos from all walks of life who have come together in a demonstration of solidarity with and support for the national movement started by the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests." The resolution proceeds to cite the Web site of the Occupy Wall Street movement as an "overview of the goals and unifying principles of the 'Occupy' movement."
Elected leaders who write our laws and hope to command our respect can't facilely pander to the sentiment du jour and hope to retain their credibility. "Indulging" (Webster's word) the demands of constituents without discriminating between what is legitimate and what is extreme or media hype betrays a troubling lack of principles.
The Council resolution, by citing the Occupy Wall Street resolution with approval, mindlessly invokes a manifesto that is, to be generous, bizarre; akin to junior high school level Marxism. An observer of the Wall Street demonstrators noted a striking resemblance to Trey Parker and Matt Stone's 2004 "Team America" movie, "in which a disgruntled and effusive Tim Robbins puppet complains that 'the corporations sit there in their … in their corporation buildings, and … and, and see, they're all corporation-y … and they make money.' "
It is a collection of angry accusations against corporations — who are uniformly accused of "place[ing] profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, [and who] run our governments." "They" are accused of virtually every crime (from murder to poisoning) plaguing the world but for droughts in the Sahara. A sampling:
"They" have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
"They" have poisoned the food supply through negligence and undermining the farming system through monopolization.
"They" have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
"They" purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
"They" have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
"They" have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
That is not even to mention the troubling connection of the Occupy Wall Street folks to Adbusters magazine and its noisome history (see David Brooks' Oct. 10 New York Times piece).
That our local political leaders might imply support for such conspiratorial and incendiary charges by endorsing broadly the Occupy movement is troubling —their specific citation of the Wall Street document's paranoia is mind-boggling. Either they have staffs that don't bother to fact check data included in documents that they sign, or even more disturbing, they actually believe this errant nonsense.
The latter may be the case, since even a cursory review of the Occupy Los Angeles Web site ought to give a politician pause about embracing this inchoate collection of paranoia. The Web site includes a section titled "Rothschild's Illuminati Will Fail! Jesus for President" — which refers to a long-standing loony conspiracy theory with anti-Semitism at its heart — as well as a call to ban military recruiters from high school campuses, among other provocative themes. Certainly enough to give a mainstream politician pause about identifying with a view of the world that ultimately will view them as the enemy of the victimized "99%" too.
Occupy Los Angeles and its analogues are a collection of grievances with no particular political or rational coherence; they seem to have attracted both genuinely hurting folks, and political extremists and conspiracy-mongers. They have an undisputed right to express their concerns and their anger; that is beyond question.
But, the demonstrators must be parsed from the 10 members of the City Council who have cast their lot, and the reputation of this city, with this teeming bundle of populist anger that is simply a balm for feeling superior and pure. Leadership means more than pandering to the base from which one hopes future votes might come — it means separating moderates from extremists, rational advocates from screaming conspiracy theorists and serious critics from perpetual complainers. We desperately need leadership on L.A.'s City Council who can tell the difference. Its absence in this case is telling.

Why would anyone give teachers guns? With all of the stress that they're under from unruly kids on a daily basis, it would be too easy for them to pull the glock and clean a kid's clock. I shudder to think that any of my high school teachers, as weird and unstable as most of them were, would have been permitted to carry weapons.

Raise your hand if you either retired early, smelled a rat and resigned, did not have a continuing contract but had years of experience teaching elsewhere and were simply booted for no reason or asked/begged for a transfer to another school to escape a toxic working environment during that sad episode. Nobody will ever know how many careers were ruined or how many lives were made more difficult thanks to that bunch of puffed-up administrators and lousy principals. You can bet Debbie Terry never asked why a teacher resigned or retired early.

Hans Krueger posted on Tue, 27 Jul 2010 09:40:50 -0400 as excerpted:
does anybody know what keyboard lay out I should use with suse 11.3 kde
4.4.4 I think for my acer travelmate 2480-2968 ? I'm have problems with
the delete,right,down key how do we set the win key to the aps menu
launcher thanks
There's an X troubleshooting applet called xev that can help figure out
what the key association is, at least. If you run it from a konsole
window, it'll popup a little white window with a black-outlined square
inside. When the mouse is over the window (or dragging from it) you get
mouse events. As long as it is focused, you get keyboard events. These
events are listed to STDOUT, which if you've run it as I said from konsole,
will be the konsole window.
That won't help get the right keys mapped, but it'll help you figure out
what /is/ actually mapped.
I've never dealt with the kde keyboard i18n, but I know a bit about
setting the keyboard mapping config for X. There's three types of
keyboard setup, depending on how old an xorg-server you're running. (FWIW,
I don't know what X associates with what version of SuSE, I run Gentoo,
which lets the machine admin choose between multiple available versions.)
The old way setup the keyboard config in an InputDevice section of
xorg.conf. The config itself was straightforward, but knowing what
specific options to use sometimes wasn't. The middle way used hal
hotplugging. That was quite complex as it involved editing XML based hal
*.fdi files.
The newest way, from xorg-server 1.8 I believe, is very similar to the old
way. (hal is deprecated and its use phased out. Good riddance IMO, when
its hotplug just worked, great, but fixing things when it didn't was
terrible!) The format is generally the same, but there's additional
flexibility in that X's configuration can now live in multiple files in
xorg.conf.d instead of in a single xorg.conf, and a new InputClass section
that works for hotplugging but is FAR easier than hal to configure when
the hotplugging doesn't come up quite right, automatically.
Chances are you're either using the hal hotplug config method, or,
hopefully, the new xorg.conf.d InputClass method, as the old method really
is old now. If you let me know a bit more about the xorg-server version
you're running, and whether you have, probably, an /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or
an xorg.conf.d directory with multiple files in it, in the same location
(or both, the new way allows an xorg.conf file as well, for backward
compatibility), then I can help you with the config for either.
Regardless, however, getting the correct combo of core i18n keymapping and
extensions (like meta/win/super keys, plus the "extra" keys like the media
and inet keys that many modern keyboards have) so everything's mapped as
desired can be a bit complex, as X's keyboard config involves three levels
of mapping between keysyms, keys, etc.
But once you get the basics setup, then back in KDE, mapping specific keys
(such as the meta aka super aka win aka home aka linux key) to functions
such as launching the kickoff menu, isn't difficult at all. It's just
that if you're having trouble with more basic stuff like the delete,
right, and down-arrow keys, once you get your X mapping setup to handle
that, it may change what the meta/super/win/lin/home key produces, thereby
invalidating your previous kde mapping for it so you have to redo it.
Never-the-less, as I said, that bit's fairly easy to do and redo, so I
might as well mention it here. Once you know that the key is actually
producing something recognizable as a key event by X (using xev as above
to figure that out), simply right-click on whatever plasmoid widget
(including the kickoff, classic, or lancelot menu plasmoid, for that's all
they are, plasmoid widgets, just like others on the plasma desktop and
panels), and select the widget's settings (in this case, probably
application launcher settings). The dialog that pops up should be the
familiar kde config type with section icons to the left and settings for
the active section on the right. On the left, select Keyboard Shortcut,
then make the setting on the right.
Simple enough, with the one caveat being that in many configs, the lin/win/
meta key is a modifier like shift, alt, or control, and modifiers aren't
recognized as individual trigger keys on their own, they combine with
something to form a trigger.
But you can use something simple like meta-space for your menu launcher,
and the bonus is, that frees up other meta-key combos for use as other
(FWIW, keeping the general "win" key designation, I map various meta-key
combos to window-maximize (meta-pgup aka win-pgup), window-minimize (win-
pgdn), window-close (win-end, altered from the usual alt-F4), etc. Also,
I map win-h to the hide/show window border toggle, win-s to suspend/
unsuspend window compositing effects, win-ctrl-s to the snow effect, win-c
to the cube desktop switcher, etc. Or you can map them to launch specific
favorite apps, but I have extra keys on my keyboard and a custom script
setup for that, so one of the extra keys acts more like another modifier,
allowing me to stack multiple launchers on a single extra key, much as
multiple functions can be stacked on the win/meta/lin/home/super key when
it's registered as a modifier.)

Re: British Drivers License?
meri wantok - ambti
Posted May 7, 2006 4:31 PM
Sapose you save drive before long PNG, you may like to get some refresher lessons, but most important is to familarise yourself with traffic regulations etc for this country by going through the DVLA driving hand-books. There are some impatient & arrogant drivers out there on the UK roads, but mostly UK road users are the most considerate. If you feel confident enough to use your PNG licence like our wantok suggested, you may do so! I drove in PNG but still needed to do the refresher courses for my UK license. My advice would be for u to get some refresher courses. Although it can get costly, it's worth it. There are 2 parts to the theory test now both computerized 1. Hazard Perception is where u identify an hazand and click at the right moment to score points 2. Theory test, is a series of multiple choice questions. The best way for you to ready for that is to buy or borrow the theory test preparation books and try to answer as many of the questions as possible. trying to read every chapter is a waste of time, as it's too big a book. The final part is the practical tests. Your driving instructor should advise you, if you are ready for your practical test. It depends on your instructor, if u are lucky you may get a good instructor the 1st time. I suggest you be happy with your instructor, if not, it's your money, you can change. Without being descriminating, the youngish sort of instructors (about 40's-50's) are usually good.
Hope this is of some help! For more info look up the DVLA website.
good luck!

Centralized log archiving with Logstash
In Full View
When something goes wrong on a system, the logfile is the first place to look for troubleshooting clues. Logstash, a log server with built-in analysis tools, consolidates logs from many servers and even makes the data searchable.
If anything goes wrong on an enterprise network, the admin has to find and fix the problem quickly. Finding the information typically isn't a problem – most IT systems produce a steady flow of system log entries and error messages – but evaluating this information correctly in complex networks with many devices, systems, and servers is often easier said than done.
One problem is the amount of information produced. On the one hand, a tool like the Pacemaker Cluster Manager is particularly verbose, producing many times the output needed. With Apache, on the other hand, data can end up going too many places if the admin sets it up to log each virtual host separately. On web servers that serve many customers, a vast number of logfiles accumulate, which means that debugging specific problems for an individual user can be an endless task.

Chiropractic Service – When To Use?
Tons can be said about using a chiropractic service. In case you have a predicament that is bothering you for a long period and you think that it has something connected with neuromuscular complications, then it may be appropriate for you to visit a chiropractor. One reason why there are plenty of people seeking service from chiropractors today is because they would rather fix their condition without having to take medication.
One of many issues that chiropractors can handle relates to severe headaches. A headache could be something which is felt at the forehead or even the back of the neck. Any kind of headache is worth attention by visiting a chiropractor. The key reason is because severe headaches could possibly be a result of a misaligned cervical section. This issue may result in a pinched nerve that is cutting off the supply of blood to your head. Due to that, this can induce chronic headaches.
What other issues can a chiropractor treat? There are occasions when a bothering lower back pain will not disappear or possibly some type of soreness shoots down one's leg. Pain that shoots down your leg generally refers to sciatica pain. This pain sensation is due to the sciatic nerve which is pinched off by a misaligned area of your back. The chiropractor should be able to evaluate these body parts and then discover where the misalignment resonates from. By searching for these misaligned discs and bones, a chiropractor can identify the ideal move to make to treat your condition.
A misaligned spine could cause a number of issues. There are individuals who described pain that leads into a zone that is far away from the cause of the problem. This sort of extending discomfort is known as referred pain. Referred pain can be hard to identify, so the chiropractor may perhaps demand that the sufferer get an x-ray or an MRI to better find the origin of the condition.
Any chiropractic service is best complemented by making sure that the patient abides to the advice of the chiropractor. Once the patient visits the doctor for the first time there will be many tests to make sure that the patient has great range of motion and flexibility. With a detailed review, the doctor can best determine what plan of action he/she should take in order to resolve the patient's condition for good.

You probably are aware that I have recently stopped writing in this journal. Maybe my thought was to hold it a bit closer and not give so much of myself. Maybe I just had nothing to say. I'll go with that.
Well, here we go. The wheels are starting to turn again. I won't even touch the story about the 'right wings' chosen candidates for president. They make it too easy. No I would like to talk about what is relevant in the art world. My daughter who is 23 yrs old loves the Rolling Stones. She also listens to Lady Gaga. All three of my daughters are going to see Madonna. My wife would just love to go to Pittsburgh Penguins hockey games.. I, on the other hand find myself immersed in old big band swing and jazz lately. I have driven farther and farther from mainstream pop music. And in the last few years find myself quite a distance away from where my mind maybe was 25 years ago. I guess that's normal, but I doubt it. I never followed a pattern that I can tell. I heard a live Robert Cray song tonight on the radio that moved me. I was at a small club where a young songwriter was playing to a handful of people and it moved me. I listened while a performance poet gave his all in between sets at a venue in Cleveland, and was moved.. The point I think I am trying to make is this. If a piece of art is created, performed, shown, acted out, or whatever, and is not seen or heard, or at least not heard by many, is it relevant? What if the truth about God, or Jesus, or Mohammad or any other spiritual leader or ideology that entices a following, is only given to a few? Or none at all? Is the truth less relevant? So anyway. I may not listen to much Beatles or Snoop Dog, Taylor Swift or even the new Springsteen but I still believe in the art form. I will however keep an ear open while walking through the forest. Just in case that great tree falls and makes a sound, and I am the only one who hears it.. The history of the world.....
It can be understood with great reflection, that what we have lived through will affect the path we take. The only problem with this theory is the folks who have past are not here to speak, and the folks that are here tend not to study what came before. So what we are left with is history destined to repeat.
I am sitting here watching my good friend, Tom Breiding on television talk and sing about the history of work in the steel mills and coal mines in and around Pittsburgh. I am touched by his knowledge of the plight of families affected by inequality and the struggle to bring some semblance of order to the lives of the hard workers who labored so hard for so long. My mind is turned now to the current situation of financial inequality in our country, and the plight of the current labor force. I have watched the recent series on the History Channel called "Vietnam in HD". After sitting and looking and seeing the sorry war script and ineptitude from the politicians, I am brought back to Afghanistan and Iraq. History repeats, no question about it. As Tom Breiding says," we owe much to the people who came before". Too bad bad we never seem to learn from them..... It's Out Of My Hands
Sometimes I worry about things. Things like paying the bills and such. Kids welfare, and whether the grandkids need flu shots or not. These are things I can do something about. Get more work, nag the children, and all that. But there are situations that really confound me. Shit I can't do a damn thing about. And I don't worry about that crap anymore. Now this is the stuff that pisses me off, because I don't mind worrying. Keeps my mind busy. When I pace, I get a bit of excercise as well. Now I'm more relaxed, but that ain't gettin me anywhere. No fun in that. Being relaxed and well adjusted does not give me that excuse to be a drug addict, alcoholic, or mad man..See, this would probably be good for my career. "Crazy Drunk Shoots Up On Stage To A Screaming Crowd'. Think Ryan Adams, maybe Shane MacGowan... So anyway, here I am listening to John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters, soaking in the blues, and for some strange reason, it's making me feel better then ever. I don't get it..But my mojo is working better then ever..
Hope your doing well too. This ain't right.
Glenn Beck wants his flock to believe we have so much to fear. Although he'll say "I am no fearmonger'. If we don't go to church and get rid of our president, we are doomed. Who in their right mind walks this road?? Let me think. Is Beck saying, things can no longer exist with so much wrong? Our country (The U.S.A. by the way) was founded on the idea of diversity and freedom, but was labored and built by a people sold into bondage. Are things that bad? I must have missed something. Funny how this guy who is a millionaire (w/ healthcare) can move people with talk of doom, when in reality, he has no clue what doom is.. How old is he by the way? Did he march against Vietnam? Did he stand up for civil rights? Has he done any community service? I think maybe he and his pal Palin should walk desolation row before he defines for me what's doomed and destined for total collapse. This country (remember U.S.A) has seen about as bad and miserable situations as there is. Slavery, civil war, corruption, the great depression, two world wars, Vietnam, Iraq, the deplorable condition of labor in the mills and mines in the 19th and 20th century, the health care in this country, and it's treatment of the elderly, just to mention a few.. And there will be more. But the sky will not fall. The earth won't roll off its axis. The sun won't go out, ladies and gentlemen. Political activism is pragmatic. To solve any problems, such as unemployment, we need dialog, not threats.
It is also very convenient for Beck and Palin to use God as the source of this movement. Think for a change.... But then again, it is the U.S.A. You are welcome to say what you want. But let's leave God out of it. I believe he has more important problems to deal with other then a bunch of middle class white people singing amazing grace (without much soul, by the way). Can I get an Amen. Life's Ups and Downs
This past week, one of my guitar students, and a fine young man, Wil Kondrich and his band, 'Hot Metal Bridge' won the battle of the bands contest that they were in. I could not be any happier for these guys. It is such a positive sign, that there are teenagers out there with guitars and drums ready to take on the world. . Congratulations men...
Yesterday, a very talented guitar player, Glenn Pavone passed away from complications due to cancer. Throughout the years we would share gigs together. Glenn with Billy Price or his own band, the Cyclones. Me with Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers. I can't say we ever became great friends, but we would always have kind words to say to each other. I last saw Glenn at the 'Guitars Over Cancer' benefit show in June. Again, he kindly asked if I was working a lot, and I asked how he was feeling. Small talk. He always seemed to be unselfish. Even on stage, he was more relaxed a little behind the front. Never a person who seemed to have to prove anything. I feel deeply sorry for his wife and family, and all the folks he touched with his music. I know I feel it.. Peace now brother... From the birth of one to the passing of another, we learn so much about this life. When the world breaks in two
When the world breaks in two
Red on one side, blue the other I hope you are safe Of course, I will long be gone A soldier, was I, this is for you to know For the hungry, orphaned, lonely, poor Like me The truth of all is this Destruction rarely comes from outside For it is from within, I believe This is where fear drives its nail This is where hatred is begat This is where paranoia can seize And destroy the basic assumption That all are created equal That freedom is divine When the world breaks in two It will not be of right and left But rather nicely in the center Fanaticism, without compromise Religion, which takes Gods name In vain As well as peace And love And righteousness The common soul is filled With indignation, but has no recourse Only to pray and plead to Their enraged creator In the distance, someone is playing John Coltrane Listen Age
It is narrowly known (only by a few) that I, with slight fanfare, celebrated my forty ninth year of living. This event brought me a surprising, feeling of comfort. I would have guessed, that standing next to fifty would be a time of great anxiety. But I believe, I am more content, and the ground beneath my feet more solid then ever. Not necessarily a pillar of concrete, but one that is more easy to walk upon. To all my friends, I thank you for making my journey worth the price of the ticket. I will look deep into the darkness, into the light, into the sadness, into the face of happiness, and know I am being, and living with purpose. I'll keep listening. I will also continue to report my findings.
Peace to all.. See you at the bar, BT 2010
What's on my mind for 2010:
- When you live with women, they will always have the last say. So I will be the first to 'Shut Up'. - I'll let them fight amongst themselves. They'll have less energy on me. - When the tape is rolling, roll a big one. - It doesn't take balls to get on stage, just social anxiety to keep you out of the crowd. - I wrote a song once. Now I'm trying to figure out how it's going to end. - I love to tour, but hate the travelling. - I'll overcome fear. I won't leave the house. - I won't say anything political, but I will politicize the words I use to describe the truth. - I won't complain about the heat in the summer, cause I'm FREEZING my ass off right now.. - I passed the age to know I will never be a big league ballplayer. But haven't hit the age where I want my balls forgotten. - I won't bitch about life, because I'm not so sure about the alternative. The wheels keep turning.... Happy New Year BT Paranoia Blues
I know they're coming for my nuts. You know what I mean. The leaders of these fields are planning to send the farmers (armed with bigger nuts) to come and take away my nuts. The nuts our forefathers fought and died for, let me tell you. When they first came here, one of the first things they said was, "let all, who choose, possess as many nuts as they want." Well, maybe that was the second thing said, but no matter.
I am a responsible nut owner. My nuts are locked up and the kids cannot get to 'em. Of course when little Charleton turns eight, he will be given his first 'intro' nut. What's this land coming to when good, decent, nut owners are targeted like that. I see it now. All those left wingers out to grab my nuts.They'll have to pry my nuts out of my cold stiff hands before I just give them over. I am a responsible nut owner. I am licensed and have had the required background check. For the most part, I don't use my nuts a lot. I just like to hold them in my hand once and awhile, just to feel that I have my manhood still intact. |

Rankonia: The Triangle Power Rankings
By Chris Ryan on1. Deron Williams, A Chip on His Shoulder the Size of the Ritz
Nominated by David Jacoby for "trying to launch Williamsanity at MSG." Williams scored 38 for the Nets in their victory over their cross-river rivals, the Knicks. He did so with a gleam in his eye that looked like he was avenging a slight that took place LIFETIMES AGO.
2. LeBron James, Force of Nature
I think it's a very useful thought exercise to sometimes just sit down and think about how LeBron James plays basketball like some kind of unholy combination of Magic Johnson, Shawn Kemp, and Khal Drogo.Watch this collection of LeBron's 10 best plays from just the first half of this season. Sometimes calling what he does "basketball" seems like it's underselling what he does.
3. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, Lethal Weapons
Brian Phillips sends this telegram from the plains: "I am trying to imagine the national hysteria if the Knicks and Thunder swapped rosters and the 51/40 game happened at Madison Square Garden. I am pretty confident that Jeremy Lin would be seen as a fun little prairie footnote and the city of New York would now be floating about two miles over the moon."
4. Steve Novak Celebrations
Rembert Browne nominates the New York Knicks' corner-dagger-thrower: "Yes, a byproduct of Linsanity has been the emergence of Steve Novak, but a byproduct of the emergence of Steve Novak has been the emergence of Steve Novak Celebrations.
Example 2: Feb. 19 — The Discount Novacheck
"Next week, I fully expect him to hit a fadeaway 3 to win the game, and then slowly step over Tyronn Lue."
5. Drew Gordon, Mayor of Lobo-City
Shane Ryan, take it away: "Last week, the New Mexico big man had 27 points and 20 boards against no. 11 UNLV, and 17 points and 17 boards against no. 15 San Diego State — both wins. He helped locked up the Mountain West Conference for the Lobos, and also put himself in the conversation for first- or second-team All American. Also, he's one of the best rebounders in the country, and I have this weird feeling he and New Mexico might be heading to the Final Four. I called it first. And if they lose in the second round, Chris Ryan will delete this blurb immediately and nobody will be the wiser."
Don't worry, buddy, I have affixed a Post-it to my computer. If they get knocked out in the second round, we'll republish this immediately.
6. Davonte Neal, "Wu-Tang is for the children"
Bill "Lean on Me" Barnwell: "I want to nominate high school football player Davonte Neal, who failed to show up to his own college signing announcement. Even better, the signing was at his former elementary school and so they actually ran the announcement as an assembly, which meant that there were 600 kids sitting around waiting in vain for Neal to show up. I can guarantee that about 550 of those kids were thinking the same exact thing as they trudged back to class: Man, I hope we get another assembly when that guy actually decides to show up."
7. Lopezanity, a Thing That Is Happening
Rafe Bartholomew wanted this to be no. 1, but I was worried Deron Williams would come shoot long-range 3s all over my soul if I did that.
8. John Fairfax, the Most Interesting Man in the World
Sarah Larimer is not easily impressed. But here, she is BOWLED OVER: "Because, according to the New York Times obit of this former adventurer/pirate apprentice/mink farm manager/ocean crosser, a then-9-year-old Fairfax 'concluded a fight with another boy by filching the scoutmaster's pistol and shooting up the campsite. No one was injured, but his scouting career was over.' AMAZING."
9. Miguel Cabrera, Asks "Yes" or "No" Questions
This comes via Buster Olney. Apparently, during an early spring training batting-practice session, the Tigers slugger was launching moon shots into right field. Whenever the ball would jump off his bat, Cabrera would shout, "SI OR NO," asking his teammates to call whether the ball would clear the fence. Whenever he went yard, Cabrera would shout, "Si, motherfucker." I'll let Buster's piece tell the rest: "When the group's batting practice ended, [Prince] Fielder walked up to Cabrera and asked about the way he mashed to the opposite field: 'How do you do that?'"
10. Martin Amis, the Last Starfighter
Andy Greenwald, who spends most of his time off playing Goldeneye blindfolded, nominates this giant of modern British literature and his recently unearthed 1982 treatise on playing Space Invaders: "It's both an amazing and cautionary tale. I hope the Internet never discovers the sonnets I wrote about Crazy Taxi 3 a decade ago."

I love getting ready to go out, so much more so than actually going out. This is probably because "getting ready to go out," in my mind, requires a full on dance party marathon, beauty sesh, and closet inventory. In fact, every time I watch the following movie montages, I am abso-pos the writers were pulling scenes directly from my boudoir:
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar
First of all, I LOVE this song. For your reference, it's "I Am the Body Beautiful" by good ol' Salt-N-Pepa. BODY LOVE ANTHEM WHAT UP. Secondly, Patrick Swayze's dry shave in this scene KILLS ME. Ouch, ouch, OUCH. On a lighter note, can we talk about those SUPER FIERCE lashes them boys are wearing? CHOWWWW!!!!
13 Going on 30
Can I have this bitch's closet please? I'll pass on that final outfit, though. And of course, you know the song. God, I hope you know the song. (If you don't, it's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by queen bitch Whitney Houston, RIP). BTW, how hard do you think Stila was orgasming when they caught all that product placement?
There are just some songs that I only associate with getting ready. Whenever I listen to No Doubt's "Hella Good," I immediately reach for red lipstick – "Gash" by Urban Decay to be exact, because I wore that shade of their now-discontinued Lip Gunk all through high school, and "Hella Good" was the song I listened to most when glamming up back then (Fun Fact: Gash was/is also Gwen Stefani's preferred shade of red).
SO that being said, every Tuesday from now until I get bored, I've decided to force all the hot music babes I know / pretend to know to share their favorite jamz to listen to while glamming out… aka GLAM JAMZ!!!! I've got some BAD ASS guests giving up their favorites in the next few weeks, but tomorrow we'll start off with mine. GET EXCITED – I know I am, because there's nothing I love more than creeping on other people's music/shoe/makeup collections.
If you're a blogger or a music babe, or just think you have awesome music taste, hit me up at BLG @ OMGBREN.com if you want to share your favorite GET READY JAMZ with the world my audience.

San Juan Mountains Weather Report—Friday, January 6, 2012—08:00–OVERNIGHT SNOW TOTAL FOR HWY. 550 CORRIDOR Sunday Jan. 8, 2012–09:45-
Friday is a transition day of cooling temperatures and high clouds moving into the area. The first snowfall in a long while is due to arrive Saturday evening in the San Juan Mountains. The ridge of high pressure that has been parked in our backyard forever is beginning to flatten and is pushing southwest as the polar jet begins to dip south out of Canada with it's nose eventually wrapping around the 4-corners while a cold front moves south of I-70.
The heaviest snow will move along the frontal boundary late Saturday early Sunday morning with potentially 2-4″ for favored WSW slopes above 11,000′. Dynamics aren't great for this storm giving up much snow for the San Juans. By midday Sunday we'll be out of snow clearing from NW to SE with trough passage.
Monday a high pressure ridge builds back into the area with warming temps and sunny skies. Tuesday a Pacific short wave passes with a slight chance of light snow then more high pressure into next weekend..

Judson Kinnucan '98 BE is the founder and CEO of Chicago nonprofit Bin Donated which partners with Chicago hotels, corporations, residential buildings and foundations to collect and distribute in-kind donations for local nonprofits.
Last fall, producers contacted him about filming a documentary chronicling the daily activities and mission behind Bin Donated. Figuring that it would be great publicity for the fledgling organization, Kinnucan obliged.
Little did he know that the producers were actually from ABC's television show "Secret Millionaire," which takes self-made millionaires undercover to work at a local nonprofit during the show. At the end of the week's taping, the millionaire makes a large donation to the charity to which he or she volunteered.
Chicago-based millionaire, author, producer, business and success expert and public speaker Steve Kaplan is the undercover millionaire that will be featured in Kinnucan's Bin Donated episode.
"This whole thing has been incredible! Meeting Steve and being able to show him the insider's view of Bin Donated is an experience I'll never forget. His willingness to dig into what we do and why we do it was amazing. Of course, his generosity to help move our mission forward floored us," said Kinnucan.
Kinnucan has been "paying it forward" ever since he started Bin Donated in 2009. He says he almost went bankrupt after quitting his full-time job to focus on the organization, but was passionate about helping those less fortunate.
To watch Kinnucan on "Secret Millionaire," tune in to ABC on Sunday, July 1, at 8 p.m. EDT.

Jakarta, May 2, 2011
This week, Forest Carbon's Scott Stanley headed to Laos to begin a feasibility study for a new project in Lao PDR with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ)'s Climate Protection through Avoided Deforestation (CliPAD) Project. Forest Carbon will be undertaking the first initial assessment of putting together a new VCS level methodology targeting the measurement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural and forest fires in the mountainous region of northern Laos, in the province of Sayabouri, for CliPAD's Nam Phui Landscape VCS REDD project.
Mr. Stanley, in association with Gabriel Eickhoff, will undertake field work in Sayabouri villages this week that will look at linking ground-based data on fire burn scar areas and new satellite imagery (Rapid Eye, Quickbird and SPOT). A previous study undertaken by GIZ Laos on the use of MODIS satellite imagery for MRV purposes showed several deficiencies in a MODIS-only approach. Forest Carbon's work with GIZ will builds on that previous work to combine MODIS data with extensive field-level forest fire burn area sampling, a modified fire behavior and fuel load model from the US Forest Service, and a new collaboration with Gernot Rücker from Munich-based ZEBRIS Consulting on new remote sensing techniques from the highly anticipated FireBIRD satellite.
"If successful, this would have enormous potential not just for the GIZ project in Laos, and Laos as a whole, but much of southeast Asia and similar countries in Latin America and central Africa where forest fires contribute significant amounts of greenhouse gases. It would be a game changer for projects with low deforestation rates, but high incidences of forest fires that drive large scale degradation. We're really excited about this new collaboration and opportunity to work with GIZ in Laos." said Mr. Stanley.
The cooperation may also include contributions and participation from a new EU initiative of 14 European Academic Institutions working on research for the implementation of REDD (IREDD) in Laos.
Phase-I of the work will look at overall feasibility, initial ground surveys and the building and adapting of the USGS fire model for Laotian conditions. Results are expected by the end of May when Phase-II would begin and incorporate additional data from ZEBRIS and other collaborators.
About Forest Carbon
Forest Carbon is a vertically integrated firm based in Indonesia capable of providing services for carbon baseline measurement, REDD project design and implementation, and forest monitoring for the voluntary and compliance markets. Forest Carbon's experts are specialized in a number of core disciplines including tropical ecology, silviculture, GIS/remote sensing, social policy and environmental policy.

Manziel a spectacle off the field
By Brent Zwerneman : December 30, 2012 : Updated: December 31, 2012 12:29am
ARLINGTON — Twelve games into the season and with a bowl game to go, typically nimble Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel finally was caught off guard Sunday.
"I didn't know this was coming," a smiling Manziel said of a media throng, including a bevy of probing cameras, surrounding him on the field in Cowboys Stadium.
"I probably needed to wear contacts."
Outside of his now familiar No. 2 jersey, Manziel didn't look quite as recognizable in a pair of black-rimmed glasses as he chatted with reporters about Friday's Cotton Bowl against Oklahoma, and his life since winning the Heisman on Dec. 8.
"I'm just giving my eyes a little break," he said. "I wear contacts so much."
Then Manziel, a former Kerrville Tivy standout, reconsidered the ear-draping addition that helped mask his now familiar mug — and added he might sport the spectacles more often.
"It definitely helps with the distraction I try and bring to the table," he said, chuckling. "It definitely mixes it up a little bit."
The Sooners weren't fooled by Manziel's Elvis Costello appearance, however, based on his Michael Vick-like video in leading the Aggies to a 10-2 record, including a toppling of then-No. 1 Alabama 29-24 on Nov. 10.
"If we're not being relentless after the quarterback at every position, he'll make you look foolish," OU defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. "He's the fastest quarterback I've seen that looks to run the ball like he does. If he sees the lane, he's going to take it."
Manziel also addressed for the first time his life in the fast lane since winning the Heisman that has included talk-show stops, concerts and a couple of NBA games that drew scrutiny from detractors for his courtside seats.
"Before, I could put a picture on Twitter, and it was no big deal," Manziel said.
"Now, you put a picture of a Christmas gift or of you sitting at a game, and you have (people claiming) NCAA violations and illegal benefits and all of that. It's crazy to see how the microscope has really come down."
The microscope should withdraw a bit following Friday night.

4.0 / 5.0
This book is good for a quick reference, but does not go into alot of details on each person.
5.0 / 5.0
This is easily one of the best in-print reference guides for Western History from 800-present, especially when dealing with dynastic successions in unfamiliar geographic regions. It has very succinct, very accurate year by year encyclopedic entries on monarchs on the Continent, the UK and Russia (the last was a bit of a pleasant surprise, honestly). The author did a really nice job on this one.I keep it handy when reading Spengler and Toynbee and find it helpful in general at keeping a broad perspective on history. Also, it makes a fun coffee table book and conversation starter for the history buff. It's also just fun to page through sometimes.Highly recommended for the history buff, scholar, or student.

New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:NYCB)
A holding Company for the New York Community Bank, which produces, multi-family mortgage loans for portfolio in New York City and a thrift depository in the New York metropolitan region.

Good earnings and dividends. I will be holding onto this one for a while.
A community bank of limited but well defined direction. It lacks the risks of the far larger banks, and it is pays a very good dividend as its earnings are dependable.
Growth in the forecast.
Huge yield and enormous customer base, NYCB is a winner, enough said!
real money: mom and kids
Bank with solid fundamentals and a 7% dividend
A high yield regional bank that easily passed the latest stress test. Financials are still seen as black boxes but I think a smaller regional play is the way to go.
NYCB will benefit from the housing turnaround and with plenty of money to loan will be well positioned to reach new highs in 6-8 months
Long story short, it has a big dividend. But take a look to see the other reasons why I am bullish on this bank: http://bit.ly/KtFlhO
Banking is recovering. Housing market will improve and thus the mortgage market
Great small bank stock with an excellent dividend.
High Dividend Yield
Rebounding Financial Sector
high dividend good market now NYC apt's
Liking this stock a lot...probably make it about 3% of real portfolio. Haven't raised the dividend in a long time, but I think this is a solid bank that has a good business model.
New York Community Bancorp is another strong bank which has stood well against time, continuing to pay a dividend through the recession and rejecting TARP funds. The management has not lost focus on their business model of growth through acquisitions and focusing on multifamily lending which through different trends, sticking to the business model required conviction in it however this shows that it is a successful one.
NYB has strong asset quality with net-charge offs making up 0.09% of average loans. Non-performing loans in 2010 were at a 3 year high but has started to decrease this quarter. The bank has strong credit ratings also with triple B long-term rating from Fitch. Finally it is in the top 10 for all of the 5 states it operates in, for deposit market share.
The ratios that I use for quickly assessing banks are as follows:
Nonperforming Loans / Total Assets: 1.2%
Average Total Equity / Average Assets:
Price-to-Tangible Book Value: 1.94
Tangible Common Equity Ratio (median ratio for banks is 8.60%): 8%
Non-Performing Loans / Total Loans: 1.76%
Net Charge-offs to Average Loans: 0.09%
Non-Performing Loans to Charge-Off Ratio: 6.24
Net Interest Margin: 3.6%
Efficiency Ratio: 40.99%
Tier 1 Capital Ratio: 12.06
Further evidence of the bank sticking to its business model is that during the crisis, having applied for TARP and being approved, it then declined receiving the funds and one of the two main reasons for this was that by taking them, it meant that those funds couldn't be used for acquisitions. NYB is conservative on producing loans, with Joseph R. Ficalora, President & CEO stating during a recent Conference that "Mortgage banking gives us additional supplemental earnings at low risk. Why is it low risk? Because we didn't even get into the business until '10 so we have almost no put risk. Out of 60 thousand odd loans there is no loan, none, that has been put."
The downsides:
Payout ratio is on the high side; in the mid 80's, however, such a ratio instils corporate self-discipline
Keep an eye on wholesale borrowings which have declined and now represented 29.5% of total assets at the end of June. If decreased too quickly however, this will dampen profitability.
Despite the bank being on sale and giving a dividend return in the high 7%, there have been no insider buys, and the largest insider selling was in December, by two of the Directors.
The dividend has seen no increase since 2004
What I like most about NYB is that it sticks to its black and white business model, provides a good stable dividend, and is conservative in its operations and loans.
They have been designated as one of the stronger banks to take over many failed institutions. Also, in New York, the mortgages they hold have are mostly commercial and have required 40% equity which is a good hedge against excessive forclosures. They seem to have an excellent business model which makes me believe they will initiate new ways to grow outside of real estate loans and their dividends remain outstanding. Overall I believe they are doing well given the times we are in and I strongly feel they could grow to $20 over the next 4 years.
U can't hold this back. Well managed, good roe 9.6%
P/E 10.17, long historical strong bank doing it the way
it shoild be,
Trading just below book value. P/E below 12. 5 stars on caps and yielding about 7%.

As the cost of everything increases, there is one meal that is still a great value: both nutritionally and economically! School lunch is still an incredible bargain at $2.15 for Hudson Park Elementary School and $2.70 for Rainier JR/SR High School.
Every School Lunch Includes Five Great Choices:
- Milk – Fat free or 1% - flavored or regular
- Vegetables – From salad to fresh carrot sticks
- Fruit – Everything from kiwi to locally grown apples; often fresh
- Grains – More whole grain items like rolls or sandwich bread
- Meat or meat alternate –White meat chicken, bean chili, lean beef
On average it costs less to buy a school lunch than to bring a lunch from home. The estimated national average of a school lunch from home was $3.43 last school year.[1]
School Lunch - $2.08 vs. Bagged Lunch - $3.43
(Comparison of national averages)
There is Such a Thing as a Free Lunch (and a Reduced Price One Too)
All children at participating schools may purchase meals through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
Families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the poverty level are eligible for free meals.
Families with incomes between 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty level are eligible for reduced-price meals; these students can be charged no more than 40 cents.
Contact your school nutrition department to fill out a school meal application
Healthy Meals Feed Eager Minds
Meals served under the NSLP must meet nutrition guidelines based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
No more than 30% of calories can come from fat and less than 10% from saturated fat.
School lunches provide one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowances of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories over the course of one week of menus.
Students who eat school lunches consume less calories from fat than students who bring lunch from home.
Compared to lunches from home, school lunches contain:
- Three times as many dairy products
- Twice as much fruit
- Seven times the vegetable amounts
NSLP participants have substantially lower intakes of added sugars than do non-participants.

- Patient Information:
Details with Side Effects
Zebeta (bisoprolol fumarate) is indicated in the management of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
The dose of Zebeta (bisoprolol fumarate) must be individualized to the needs of the patient. The usual starting dose is 5 mg once daily. In some patients, 2.5 mg may be an appropriate starting dose (see Bronchospastic Disease in WARNINGS). If the antihypertensive effect of 5 mg is inadequate, the dose may be increased to 10 mg and then, if necessary, to 20 mg once daily.
Patients with Renal or Hepatic Impairment
In patients with hepatic impairment (hepatitis or cirrhosis) or renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance less than 40 mL/min), the initial daily dose should be 2.5 mg and caution should be used in dose-titration. Since limited data suggest that bisoprolol fumarate is not dialyzable, drug replacement is not necessary in patients undergoing dialysis.
Geriatric Patients
It is not necessary to adjust the dose in the elderly, unless there is also significant renal or hepatic dysfunction (see above and Geriatric Use in PRECAUTIONS).
Pediatric Patients
There is no pediatric experience with Zebeta (bisoprolol fumarate) .
Zebeta® (bisoprolol fumarate) is supplied as 5 mg and 10 mg tablets.
The 5 mg tablet is pink, heart-shaped, biconvex, film-coated, vertically scored in half on both sides, with an engraved stylized b/stylized b on one side and 6/0 on the reverse side, supplied as follows:
