The Rolling English Road
Cuckmere Haven 1939 © Estate of Eric Ravilious
The Rolling English Road
by G.K. Chesterton
Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,
The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.
A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire,
And after him the parson ran, the sexton and the squire;
A merry road, a mazy road, and such as we did tread
The night we went to Birmingham by way of Beachy Head.
I knew no harm of Bonaparte and plenty of the Squire,
And for to fight the Frenchman I did not much desire;
But I did bash their baggonets because they came arrayed
To straighten out the crooked road an English drunkard made,
Where you and I went down the lane with ale-mugs in our hands,
The night we went to Glastonbury by way of Goodwin Sands.
His sins they were forgiven him; or why do flowers run
Behind him; and the hedges all strengthening in the sun?
The wild thing went from left to right and knew not which was which,
But the wild rose was above him when they found him in the ditch.
God pardon us, nor harden us; we did not see so clear
The night we went to Bannockburn by way of Brighton Pier.
My friends, we will not go again or ape an ancient rage,
Or stretch the folly of our youth to be the shame of age,
But walk with clearer eyes and ears this path that wandereth,
And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death;
For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen,
Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.

I'm organising a mixed ability group of 15 to do the new Morecambe to Bridlington coast to coast route in May, and wrote a homage to Chesterton while trying to avoid doing the general B&B and sherpa admin. Will be nice on the T-shirts maybe…
Before the Tudors won the throne or out to Towton strode,
The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.
A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles twixt the shires,
But after him the cyclist came, with shiny spokes and tyres;
A merry road, a hilly road, and such as we did climb
The day we went to Pateley Bridge, well fed by Palatine.
I knew no harm of rail travel but plenty of the car,
And for to fight the HGV I did not much desire;
But I did bash their wing mirrors because they came too near
And dared to nudge the peliton, descending from the rear.
And you and I whizzed round the bend and overtook the van,
The day we crossed the River Ouse, by way of The Green Man.
Our sins they were forgiven us; or why do flowers bloom
Beside us in the hedgerows as we pass in tight costume?
Us cyclists wend from west to east and know not which is which,
But that the white rose is ahead, and to each side, a ditch.
God pardon us, nor harden us; we saw our way for miles
The time we went from sea to sea, across the British Isles.
My friends we will not go again, unless we cast our votes
Next year to set ambitious sights and aim for John O'Groats
But ride with tired thighs and wrists this road that wandereth,
And sample scones and Yorkshire tea and stop to catch our breath;
For there are good things yet to see, and new tyres to turn shabby,
As we make our way to Bridlington by way of Fountains Abbey.

Well, you have on the Honmod format already, maybe it's unecessary to have this hard work if already done here. You could reuse this guy's work at most. Really unnecessary.
I was bored and needed something to do. Doing this for learning purposes and out of boredom. I find it quite amusing to play around with the effects on some heroes.. Getting some fun results. But yeah, it's unnecessary. But people can use these if they want, for whatever reason.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is appointing the chief executive of bond giant Pimco as chairman of a presidential council created to help spur private-public partnerships and global economic development.
Mr. Obama intends to appoint Pimco Chief Executive Mohamed A. El-Erian as chairman of the Global Development Council, created in February to advise him on U.S. development policies, the White House said in press release.
Mr. El-Erian has extensive business, investment and policy experience. He has led California-based Pimco for several years and prior to that was chief executive of the firm that manages Harvard's endowment and worked at the International Monetary Fund.
Mr. El-Erian has pressed the president to take more action to spur economic growth. In a letter after Mr. Obama won re-election, Mr. El-Erian urged the president to promote better visa and immigration policies and revamp U.S. housing policies. He also called for the president and Congress to remove the immediate threat of the fiscal cliff, an issue that both parties have so far been unable to resolve. Mr. El-Erian said if handled poorly, going off the fiscal cliff could pull the U.S. back into a recession.
Mr. El-Erian is one of several business executives Mr. Obama is planning to appoint to the panel, the White House said. Mr. Obama is also planning on appointing Richard C. Blum, James M. Manyika and William K. Reilly to the panel.
Mr. Blum founded the private-equity firm Blum Capital Partners. Mr. Manyika is a senior partner at the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. And Mr. Reilly is a senior advisor to international investment partnership TPG Capital LP.

The tannins are round and soft, and gently frame a concentrated flavor profile of blackberries, plums and sweet oak. This Merlot, blended with the two Cabernets, is very ripe, well-structured and will age quite nicely.

He was once the frontrunner for his party's presidential nomination. But now, Newt Gingrich is bowing out of the race and that is making at least one person very happy. Our Josh Robin explains.
UNITED STATES -- Mitt Romney didn't have to say much. His grin did the talking.
Probably better than the former house speaker.
Gingrich was at what promises to be among his last events as an active White House hopeful. This election at least.
"I think it's pretty clear that Governor Romney is going to be the nominee just based on the sheer weight of yesterday's evidence," Gingrich said.
His aides say his concession will come by the middle of next week in Washington. Presumably, first, he'll want help settling his millions of dollars in campaign debt. Gingrich also is trying to land a role in this summer's GOP convention.
"The republican platform has to be a solidly conservative platform that has solutions big enough to meet the country's requirements and so in that sense, we're going to continue to move forward," Gingrich said. Something he wanted to do as the nominee and he almost got there, probably peaking with a January 21st win in South Carolina.
He also produced some of the campaign season's most memorable moments.
Some also knocked Gingrich's out of this world ideas, proposing a lunar colony, for instance. Ultimately, though , Gingrich was walloped by attack ads Romney bought with his better-funded campaign operation, which grew again Wednesday after a high-priced luncheon.
Romney is expected in New York City more often, but not for public campaign events, but to raise money behind closed doors. So far he's considerably behind President Obama when it comes to cash.
Speaking of the President, he was in Iowa, courting young voters to fight against hikes in student loans.
"I'll do a quick poll. This may be unscientific, how many people can afford to pay an extra thousand dollars right now?" Obama asked.
Meanwhile, while it didn't cost that much, Tuesday's poorly-attended Republicans primaries in New York didn't come cheap. Under five percent of eligible city Republicans voted. Factor in set up, clean up and counting the rolls, that's $578 in taxpayer money per vote.

Whats everyones opinion on this little setup...... development goes into foreclosure, lots left unbuilt. Properties are then hawked round to international buyers with promises of easy mortgages and cash-positive rentals???? Presumably relying on the fact I'm not in the States to check this out...
I'm tempted, but is it true? Can there really be such a thing as a free lunch?
was around $375k+something, reduced to 260k with goodies..... using Go ogle its like a field some miles from the town itself. I guess this may affect its valuation somewhat. Negatively.
What I like best is the way the road just stops...... although could always be a problem with outdated Go ogle i guess.
paste this into your maps.google.com to see the half finished glory that is Millstone Landing:

Morphing, sound effects and blue screens all form part of an innovative University of Newcastle science show that will be taken to remote communities in the Northern Territory following a $13,000 funding boost from the Australian Government.
The University's interactive SMART (Science, Maths And Real Technology) program aims to inspire young people to consider studying science. 'Science of Entertainment' explains the science that makes sound and visual effects in movies possible.
The University joined with the Arnhemland Progress Association and the Northern Territory Division of Engineers Australia to present several SMART science shows in August 2008. This funding boost will see the program expanded and the 'Science of Entertainment' show performed for Aboriginal communities during National Science Week, to be held from 15 – 23 August 2009.

National Geographic has an interesting video on the construction of the SLS and just what goes into it. It is a very, very high tech build. If you weren't impressed by the SLS before you may be impressed by just how much effort it takes to produce one. The aluminum chassis build itself is just amazing and the paint process and detail that goes into takes 30 hours alone. Check out the video. ...Published on 02-25-2011 05:11 PM
BMW has released this animation of the N20B20 motor. It essentially shows the motor in action in a 3D format. You get to see the internals, valves, springs, etc., all in operation. There is also a very cool shot of the manifold and the turbo being fed. Quite interesting for the engineering geeks. ...Published on 02-25-2011 01:48 PM
My friend and I got a chance to do a few pulls during a meet last weekend.. Both cars have exhaust valves. We did several pulls, 2 of which I got on video clearly. Each time were about dead even, nobody really gained. This is a bit of a shock to the Audi community as well as myself. However, the numbers behind each car don't exactly put the S5 ahead by much at all. ...Published on 02-25-2011 01:43 PM

PAW Motorsport was nice enough to send us these pictures of a C74 that stopped by. No, it is not a 7.4 liter. The 74 refers to the 74 inch rear track width. The pieces are all carbon fiber and they better be for the retail of $15,450. We don't even find that pricing to be that bad in comparison to the ridiculous price Vorsteiner charges for their E92 M3 widebody kit. Enjoy the pictures! ...Published on 02-25-2011 08:32 AM
We thought this was pretty cool and hope it pushes Audi to make the Quattro Concept. AutoCar got to spend some time with this special A5. How is it different? It is built off a custom aluminum chassis with aluminum body pieces and a CFRP hood and trunk. It weighs only 3,000 pounds about 700 pounds less than the standard V6 A5. The TT-RS motor is tweaked to put out 400 horsepower. This car is intended to show what the Quattro Concept would drive like if it were to be produced and AutoCar states it is the best handling Audi they have ever it driven... it just might convince the board to give the green light. ...Published on 02-25-2011 05:00 AM
Alpina will be revealing its new F11 Wagon at the Geneva auto show. What does it pack under the hood? Well, much the same as the F10 B5 it has a tweaked N63 twin turbo V8 putting out 500 horsepower. The motor is mated to a ZF 8 speed gearbox. The other noticeable changes are obviously the body kit and the classic Alpina wheels. No idea if this will come to the United States but we would bet against it since the US has not traditionally been a strong market for wagons. ...Published on 02-24-2011 06:50 PM
Glad to see BMW finally make a decision that favors the enthusiast, about time. Autocar reports that BMW will not go with a diesel plug-in hybrid setup for the i8. Chief of R&D Klaus Draeger stated the following, "as we want to sell it all over the world. Diesel is only really relevant to Europe." It gets better, the intent for the i8 is to be a halo car not just a sporty prius. Further he states, "i8 will be a pinnacle car for the BMW brand as a whole, not just the i brand." N63 V8 twin turbo in the i8 anybody? Certainly a possibility now, finally some good news. ...Published on 02-24-2011 06:31 AM
This video shows the difference between a bone stock E92 DCT M3 and an E90 M3 with the full Active Autowerke exhaust including sport cats. So, the E90 is not catless, and the exhaust is stated as its only mod, yet it puts buslengths on the E92. Color us skeptical as the difference is so large. It could be the exhaust is the only difference but the E90 pulls like a car with an exhaust and tune would, likely running higher octane fuel. The video description states speeds above the limiter were hit leading us to believe a tune is on the car and this was left out to exaggerate the difference. Either way, enjoy the video. ...Published on 02-24-2011 05:32 AM

This is one of the Autocar quick 90 second review which definitely keep up with our attention spans. Some quick notes, they state the steering is a bit vague. Additionally, they seem to believe one should go with the traditional steel spring suspension setup over the air suspension option and would agree with this especially for enthusiasts who might want to add an aftermarket coil-over later. We do disagree that one should opt for the diesel, the 3.0 TFSI is our choice especially with its ability to be tuned. ...Published on 02-23-2011 01:10 PM
Here is the official Brabus 2012 CLS. First you will likely notice the Brabus front bumper with integrated LED's. You will also likely notice the Brabus front fenders which stand out. Frankly, that is an option we could do without as the contrast just doesn't flow well. The side skirts give it an aggressive look along with the rear spoiler. 20 inch Brabus Monoblock wheels are used with 255 rubber up front and 305 in back. Lowering options consisting of sport rings as well as a module for the air suspension are available. An exhaust is available for all engine variants. ...Published on 02-23-2011 12:52 PM
The new 7 series is a beautiful car. We never thought a 6 cylinder would really do it justice but times have changed with the BMW turbo motors.

This is the type of thing we like to see. APR has posted their own graphs but they tend to do them in crank horsepower which is, well, pretty annoying. A customer took his car for before and after dyno pulls on a Mustang and went from 297 awhp to 361 awhp with tune only. Impressive? Yes. The car in question is a 2011 Audi S4 with a custom Milltek exhaust and the APR 93 octane tune. ...Published on 02-23-2011 05:23 AM
The next generation GL has been spotted testing in camo. Spyphotos are usually pretty boring not revealing much. However, the interesting news here is that it seems Mercedes is readying an AMG version of the next generation GL. This isn't officially confirmed but the source of the photos (gmotors) is reporting they have sourced telling them the new twin turbo 5.5 liter V8 will be powering the AMG version. Seems Mercedes will have a new segment of very large performance SUV's. ...Published on 02-23-2011 01:19 AM
I have been reluctant to post about this earlier as I wanted to give Gintani ample time to look at the engine to try and determine what happened before I posted. We have an idea what caused it but currently the motor has not been broken down to do a full inspection. Given the current drama / speculation on the forums, I felt, along with Gintani, that we should post now and let everyone know that a failure did occur on my car, and then follow up later when we have more solid detailed information. As of now I know of no other Gintani car that has had a failure, but mine. ...Published on 02-22-2011 12:29 PM
Here are two flash tunes that were recently completed by PAW Motorsport for a couple customers. The first car is a completely stock 2011 335 other than the flash tune. The car is a 6 speed manual and is running 93 octane pump fuel. The second car is a 2011 automatic 335 also dyno'd on pump gas. As you can see, large gains throughout the entire curve on both cars. Remember, this is just the mild pump tune. Contact PAW Motorsport if interested. ...Published on 02-22-2011 07:34 AM
Top Gear is entertainment above all but sometimes they do some good comparisons. Here we have a video where they take the competition package M3 vs. the new Audi RS5. Audi has had plenty of time to work on the RS5 but it still is not able to top the M3. What really opens eyes is the fact the Top Gear test track is wet and the M3 still outlaps the RS5. That is very surprising but no surprise the hefty RS5 routing its power to all 4 wheels does not make as efficient use of its power as the M3 which out handles and out accelerates it. Sorry Audi, the M3 is still the king. ...Published on 02-22-2011 04:27 AM
Here is the new BMW " i " sub-brand. BMW continues to bring the brand downscale with their new all electric front wheel drive cars. The first car is the i3 which is also known as the "megacity" vehicle. This car is a lightweight all electric. The second vehicle in the lineup will be a plug in hybrid which BMW touts as a sporty hybrid. What does this mean for the enthusiasts? It means BMW is shifting focus which may be at our expense. ...Published on 02-21-2011 04:03 AM

C A+F Campus Resources: It has a library and student center which are functional.
C A+F Campus Resources: Computer labs are present and functional, can be a bit slow to get a spot.
A A+F Campus Resources: Resources were always available. The athletic students had a gym, a workout room, a showering room and plenty of fields to play ball games. There were tennis courts but no swimming pool. The school had to transfer the kids to the pool by bus. The libraries were usually open at 8:30 but there would be times that they were late, but that was rare. There were plenty of clubs to keep kids occupied before and after school.
C A+F Campus Resources: The computer systems at my school were usually well managed but the district board starting blocking too many sights that I considered essential for my works in class. In attempts to reduce online sexual exposure and social media, the school blocked off many pages so using the computers at school to find help was not even worth it for me. However, the printer was often available and a limit of 5 pages for was set and any pages afterwards would have to be paid for. There was also a homework room set up in the mornings and afternoons for kids to have access to computers besides the library. Computer labs were only open for teachers to gain access to use. The network rarely went out and when someone else brought their own computer, they could join the school network easily. Although the non-locked network was sometimes failing.
B A+F Campus Resources: For a community college, the resources are awesome. Ranging from activities of all kinds to include sports, clubs, learning resources, and advisors.

WASHINGTON - The White House and outside supporters of President Barack Obama are launching simultaneous social media, public outreach and fundraising campaigns tied to Tuesday's State of the Union address.
Watch the speech live Tuesday on ABC 10 at 6 p.m. (PST)
The efforts will focus on jobs and the budget, gun control, immigration and climate change. The outreach reflects a decision by the president and his advisers to use public support to pressure Congress.
The White House will use social media in an effort to engage the public on proposals Obama will outline in his speech. Officials invited 100 people who follow the administration on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook to watch the speech from the White House, then participate in an online panel.
The White House will also stream a version of the speech that will incorporate graphics and data.

SYRACUSE -- A company posing as a medical alert service offered by Franciscan Companies, which is affiliated with St. Joseph's Health Center, is targeting seniors.
The fraudulent company calls itself Senior Alertline and has been using automated dialing system to call large numbers of seniors with the goal of gaining access to their credit cards. Some of the tactics being used are the promise of a free gift, inexpensive service and free equipment.
Senior Alertline created a website that was almost identical to the Philips Lifeline site. It had the same design and photography and some of the same phone numbers.
Mark Rutherford, Senior Director of Health Care for Philips Lifeline, says that the fraudulent outfit is fast moving and has already changed their website (www.senioralertline.com) to copy another provider's site.
The enterprise is also being pursued in the Midwest by a state attorney general, where hundreds of scams involving seniors have been reported.
Franciscan Companies is informing their customers about the scam and is telling them not to give out their credit card to anybody that they do not know or trust.

Step 1: Regardless of if you're wearing nail polish or not, clean all your nails with nail polish remover to remove oils. You want a clean slate with as little residue as possible so that the polish sticks.
Step 3: Apply a 'gem' glitter coat with gold or pink tones. We recommend Sally Hansen's Gem Crush polish in 'Big Money.' It's gold glitter with some larger pink sparkles that really make it reflective and luxurious looking. This polish runs about $7 at most drugstores. Be sure to shake the bottle frequently throughout application to keep the glitter mixed. This polish spreads pretty evenly so one thorough coat should do the trick. Allow to dry for 2 minutes.
Step 4: Apply a clear top coat. Again, one coat will do. I used a basic clear top coat and my nails were dry within minutes. The best part is that this look doesn't show smudges. Because the glitter is already textured, flaws are diminished. All in, you should be clocking in at under 10 minutes and $10. This mani is so fool-proof you could probably do it sitting at your desk. Not bad!
Step 5: Enjoy your gorgeous sparkling nails!

Swatch Makes A Watch Collection For James Bond's Villains
Omega may have sealed the deal for James Bond's watches but what about the villains. Enter Dr. Swatch, otherwise known as Nicolas G. Hayek. Swatch has created a new collection dedicated just to Bond's antagonists. The new collection will be out next month and will be a tribute to those Bond has sparred with in twenty-two James Bond films, from Dr. No to the forthcoming Quantum Of Solace. Featured villains will include Christopher Walken's Max Zorin, Gerd Froebe's Goldfinger, Lotte Lenya's Rosa Klebb and more. Sounds like fun, I'm just hoping my favorite, Richard Kiel (aka Jaws) has one.

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Hammett's fifth and final novel, The Thin Man, is a return to first-person narration, as Nick Charles narrates the story of a case he unwillingly takes on while vacationing. Charles retired from the Trans-American Detective Agency six years before the action of the book begins in order to manage the businesses that his young wife, Nora, inherited from her father. The couple is spending the Christmas holidays in New York City, primarily to avoid spending them with Nora's family on the West Coast. While Charles is, in many respects, another example of the hard-boiled detective, the novel is unique in its light comic tone, which fitted it for popular adaptations in a series of "Thin Man" films. In the book, the thin man of the title is actually the missing inventor Clyde Wynant, not the detective. The description that Charles gives of Wynant ("Tall—over six feet—and one of the thinnest men I've ever seen. He must be about fifty now, and his hair was almost white when I knew him.") fits Hammett himself, except for his age, and he posed for the picture on the jacket of the first edition of the book, perhaps furthering the popular misconception that the title refers to the detective.
In other respects, the author and his protagonist are quite similar, sharing the same age and the same background as detectives. Their personal lives are also similar: The centerpiece of the book is the relationship between the worldly and jaded Charles...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Nick Charles, a onetime detective and now a California lumberman, arrives in New York with his wife, Nora, for the Christmas holidays. He is drawn into investigating the murder of Julia Wolf, who was the secretary of Nick's old client Clyde Wynant, a lunatic-fringe inventor whose wife, Mimi, divorced him in order to marry a man named Christian Jorgensen. Wynant is reported to be out of town, working on a new project, and Herbert Macaulay, Wynant's attorney, has told police that he has not seen him since October, when Wynant gave him power of attorney.
The police suspect a number of people in Julia's murder, including Mimi Jorgensen, her husband, a gangster named Morelli, Gil Wynant, and Clyde Wynant himself. Mimi had just returned from Europe and had gone to see Julia to get her former husband's address because she needed more money to support their two children, twenty-year-old Dorothy and eighteen-year-old Gilbert; her new husband, Christian Jorgensen, had spent the large settlement Wynant had made at the time of their divorce. Mimi had arrived just in time for Julia to die in her arms.
Jorgensen had worked with Wynant several years earlier (at the time he was using a different name), and he believed that Wynant had not treated him fairly. In the course of the murder investigation, it is discovered that Jorgensen has a wife living in Boston and that he has married Mimi only to get Wynant's money.
Morelli, the gangster,...

If you thought the 20 minz of our pilot TV ep was too much to commit to, here's the initial 3-minute "sizzle" reel that we used to sell the show. It gives the same kinda vibe, but in a quickie way. Enjoy!
Finally got our lil' tinsel tree set up at the house Upstate. I LOVE it! And Charlie was a huge help... As always. Happy Meow'lidays!
Check out how ah'mahzing Beyonce looks in these pics from her vacay in Jamaica. Love the retro vibe, love the abs, LOVE the red-stained lips. I swear, she looks like she's a teenager except of course for the one where she's all body builder fierce. Even baby sis, Solange stopped by for a vizzy to hang in the pick-up truck. Photo credit: Bey's Tumblr page.
A new day is dawning... Keith and I have just rented our new office space Upstate. It's a tiny little room in downtown Kingston. It's gonna be a perfect place for us to cook up our next great adventure. One problem, we can't decide on a name. The door has a glass panel, very Moonlighting, so Keith wants to call it Something-Something Detective Agency. I teased that I'm gonna be David Addison and he's Maddy Hayes. The prob is, my mind is elsewhere. I like the name PIONEER. I feel like that's more of what I have to say for the future... You know, treading new territory. Whataya think?
Nelson Mandela, one of humanities greatest proponents of peace and equality, passed away yesterday in South Africa. He was 95 years old!!! In honor of Mr Mandela, I'd like us all to try and accept and understand those who are different. And if you're mad or holding a grudge against someone, just talk to them, it's never too late. Mr Mandela, you'll be greatly missed!
Well, now that FF has officially closed, I thought I'd share a secret with you. Earlier in the year we filmed a Pilot TV Episode for the Style! Network. It was hella hard work, but since Style! is now also defunct, it obvi didn't work out. I still really love it and hope you do too.
A hugungous thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, especially Mark at Big Energy Productions... Our supes cute producer! P.S. it starts at about 20 seconds in. xo
I know, I know... You're prolly like, here goes Chris posting about his cats again. Well, anytime we posted cats on Facebook we'd get tons of likes and comments... And beside, I LOVE my fuzzies! Anyhoot, check out Charlie and Lucy, in a mini cease-fire to nap on the kitchen table ensemble! Cuteacious!
I had to name this post "Lights" in honor of Keith... He hates that song! LOL. Anyhoot, hope you all had a great TDay. Ours was great... The first time in a million years that we didn't have to race to work to pack XMas orders.
Instead, we spent today decorating the house and did tons of Dad stuff, like putting lights on the house. I loved it. We also read comments from the Guest Book... Mind blowing! Thank you all, so much, for sharing. I means the world to K and I that you think we did a good job! I love you all.
Happy Holidays and enjoy Cyber Monday!!! Hoot.

I recently introduced a 2nd boxee box into my home and upon hooking it up I noticed that when you click a button once on the remote, the selection on the screen will move many times instead of just once. It's like the signal is getting jammed and stuck, causing the selection on the screen to jump all around uncontrollably. I assumed it was the remote but am still not quite certain. I brought the remote from this seemingly defective unit into my bedroom where my first boxee was. This boxee has always worked perfectly with the remote but since using the remote from the defective unit on it it now stutters and jumps around too, using wither remote. It's almost like the remote from the new box has damaged the unit! So now, both my Boxee's are very difficult to navigate with either remote. I have now ordered a 3rd boxee box becuase I love the way they work but this remote controll issue is starting to piss me off. I have a fair bit invested into the Boxee so I'm hoping to get this remote control issue resolved.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Beloved coach, who won 10 L.A. City Section titles (two with Banning) remembered for making difference on and off the field.
Sure, there were 310 career victories. There were also 10 L.A. City Section championships.
Which made the rare defeat at Carson High a bitter experience, always reflected immediately by Gene Vollnogle, but only before he got to the locker room.
"He was always steady, it was always a teachable moment," said one of his greatest performers, Al Washington. "A little bit more solemn, but even in victory he wasn't doing a dance. We didn't showboat. He always said, 'When you leave the locker room, show some class.'"
Generations of Carson High Colts and even some of his vanquished opponents gathered Saturday at Carson to pay tribute to Vollnogle, the coach for the first 28 years of the school's existence.
Coach, yes. And much more to those who paid tribute following Vollnogle's death on Sept. 6.
"I wouldn't be a man if it wasn't for that man," said George Malauulu, quarterback of the 1987 City finalist team.
In the quad in the middle of the Carson campus, about 200 friends, family members and the Colt family gathered. Pictures, posters recounting his victories, and simple tributes like a "Vollnogle 1" T-shirt were visible as the atmosphere took on that of a reunion as much as a celebration.
And it wouldn't be Carson in the Vollnogle years without the looming presence of statistician extraordinaire, Tim Finney, a former teacher at the school.
He carried a folded paper listing the Vollnogle record, from his first 10 years at Banning - where he won two City crowns - to Carson, to his nine years as a JV coach at Los Alamitos High.
Years: 47. Wins: 384, Losses: 91. Ties: 1. Winning percentage: 80.78.
Yes, those are just the stats, man. This was about the man.
Vollnogle could be seen simply as the larger-than-life figure on the football field, ready to run his troops ragged with detail after detail. Sure, he had the look of the old-time coach down, from the shorts to the windbreaker and the whistle dangling from his neck.
A throwback? Maybe to some, but blessed with an inordinate amount of talent from the surrounding community, he was a coach who commanded attention, sometimes fear, and always respect.
But while he delivered the same message year after year to his players, he was never afraid to be on the cutting edge on the field.
The longtime Los Alamitos resident could go from a cloud-of-dust offense to an all-out passing scheme when many thought that would be crazy.
He pulled from a community of all walks of life. Your name could be Jimmy Sander, Samoa Samoa, Wesley Walker, Perry Klein, David Elecciri or Carlos Ruiz. You played football for Carson, you became a football player and more.
"What I remember most," Elecciri (1968) said, "was the tough, serious surface and the positive man on the inside."
And then Elecciri, who later coached with Vollnogle, would draw laughter by imitating his coach's famous mannerisms, from licking his fingers or jiggling his belt.
If there is a coveted season in Carson lore, it's the 1971 team that went 12-0, won the City title and was pronounced national champion.
That hit a member of that team, Kise Fitatoa, as he watched "Remember the Titans," the story of T.C. Williams High in Virginia that went undefeated in a time of racial strife. What struck Fitatoa was that in the movie, it was noted that T.C. Williams reached No. 2 in the nation.
Behind Carson.
"Coach Vollnogle, he was open-minded about some of those things. That's why he was such a great, great coach," Malauulu said. "It takes those kind of coaches to show the humility part of coaching.
"Some of these coaches nowadays - it would be a remedy for some of their problems.
"He was ahead of his time."
As intimidating as Vollnogle could be, he would always find time to allow the warm side to emerge.
After the Colts earned the 1988 City title with a 55-7 rout of rival Banning at the Coliseum, Vollnogle marveled at his team's ability to pick up huge chunks of yardage with two quarterbacks, Klein and Fred Gatlin, and shifty running back Errol Sapp, among others.
"It was zap, zap, zap, then zap 'em with Sapp," Vollnogle said, chuckling at his own words.
It was an overlooked side to his personality, but his daughter, Teri Hargreaves, had plenty of recollections.
"He did have a sense of humor," Hargreaves said. "There was one time when Carson was playing a (San Fernando) Valley school and the Valley school was not as diverse, let's say, as the Carson team. I think the Carson line at the time was made up mostly of Samoans, so one of the strategies was Dad had the Samoans get up and start chanting to intimidate the boys from the Valley, and it did the trick.
"Coaching to him was fun and he always said that playing football had to be fun. He had a great sense of humor."
And Vollnogle was no small figure in turning the culture around for the Polynesian community, particularly, the burgeoning tight-knit Samoans in Carson.
"He gave us opportunity," Malauulu said. "He opened the door. He allowed us to kind of be who we wanted to be at that point in time.
"A lot of the guys from the early years were coming from American Samoa just to come to school here. If you went to school back home in American Samoa, as far as you trying to obtain a scholarship, slim chances and if it was, it would probably be one out of the whole island.
"We all knew once you got up there, Vollnogle would take care of you and sure enough, it was definitely the truth."

Remember Any Name, Including Hers
Jordan Harbinger
Make no mistake about it, friends: you lose points when you cant recall a name. Whether its a girl or a potential business partner youre trying to woo, remembering names shows respect and regard. On the flip side, failure to do so makes you look like an amateurand is a surefire game-killer with the ladies. But never fear, here are a few tricks to plant names firmly in your memory banks, plus what to do in the rare event an identity slips your mind. Read on, turn into a human Rolodex.
Pay Attention
Perhaps the most obvious advice we can give you is to really check in mentally when people say their names. My name is _____, whats yours? is a conversational formality like How are you? However, when you ask Whats yours? you actually need to take note of the answer. Listen closely and youll get out of the gate on the right note.
Ask the person to spell out the name, if there are alternate spellings. Then repeating, Staci with an I, back at her will help it click. (But come on, man, how could you forget Staci?)
Repeat, Repeat and Repeat Again
Once you have the persons name, look at them and repeat it to yourself three times. Use it as often as possible during the first few minutes of your conversation. Even something like, Julie, nice to meet you, will help to burn the name into your head. Ask the person to spell out the name, if there are alternate spellings. Then repeating, Staci with an I, back at her will help it click. (But come on, man, how could you forget Staci?)
Use Mental Tricks
When repeating a name to yourself, visualize it on the persons forehead for a few seconds. Note an outstanding physical feature or piece of a persons outfit. For example, if a guy named Jermaine is wearing a strange jacket, think to yourself Jacket Jermaine. Later, if you forget, looking at his jacket will trigger your memory. Mental images help, too. A person named Michael Forrester can easily be remembered by picturing your new best friend in the middle of the woods. (For more on mental tricks, check out 4 Memory Tips You Will Never Forget.)
Be Honest
If you do forget a name, the worst thing you can do is not own up to it. Using the wrong name, or admitting hours later that youve forgotten, just looks bad. Instead, apologize for your faux pas and ask for the persons name againimmediately. The longer you let the problem linger, the more offended the person will be. Everyone understands that names get forgotten, especially when you are being introduced to a large group of people. It might be a bit awkward, but its way less awkward than addressing Michael Forrester as Jermaine McGee.
Hey, Im Mahmoud. But my friends just call me Pure Evil.
Bail Yourself Out
If you run into someone days, weeks or months after an initial meeting, his or her name may slip your mind. Three quick fixes:
1. Simply ask for the persons name. When she answers with Maria, play it off with a laugh and say you remembered her first name, but its her last name you are stuck on.
2. Introduce yourself all over again. Hey, Im Jordan, we met at a bar a couple weeks ago, will likely lead to a response like Oh hey, Im Kenja.
3. Introduce a friend by name. Have you met my friend Steve? The other person should respond with No, I havent. Im Billy. If he doesnt, relax. He might just be too socially awkward to be worth hanging with, anyway. (Sorry, Billy.)

Hiked from the village to Cloud's Rest to spend the night, then over to Half Dome and back to the village. I had rock climbed quite a bit before, but after this trip, I became completely addicted to the outdoors! | ||

Took a side trip to Clarks Point, watched a Grouse and her 4 chicks. Took excellent pics of the back side of Half Dome. Ascended with no trouble for a nice lunch by 11am. Stopped above Nevada Falls for a cold drink and a cold dip in the water. Arrived back in Curry Village with a very unpleasant left knee. Other than that it was a great day. | ||

WickedRugged | Half Dome from Happy Isles Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2007 | |
Hiked w/ roommate and his co-workers, started at first light (camped in Yosemite Valley) and a lot of people were already on the trail. Got to the summit a little after noon. Went up the cables (used garden gloves from Home Depot, I would recommend a pair that fits snug and has a good grip, not garden gloves!!!). The summit was great, but the cables were jam-packed. I would recommend starting earlier and getting to the cables before lunch to beat the crowd. Stopped to rest on the way down above Vernal Falls, lots of people were lounging and playing in the water. Great hike and unbelievable views!!! | ||

I've been up Half Dome a couple of times and I have to say that starting the hike at 2am because there's no place to camp in the valley is the best way to do it. The best part is the looks you get from the people at the Curry Village bar when it's noon and you tell them you just got back from hiking Half Dome. | ||

Stu Brandel | Detoured Day Hike Date Climbed: Jul 19, 1996 | |
In 1996 a rockslide closed the Happy Isles trailhead. Wanting to fulfill a deep desire to hike Half Dome, I cobbled together a hike from Mono Meadows. Thinking it would be a stretch at 20 miles round trip, I began in the dark. I learned Illouette creek does not have a bridge. I did summit and finish in a stupor, where I learned that I had mis-added - and the true mileage was 30 miles. Ouch. | ||

Started hiking at 4 am to get to snake dike. We got off-route but got reset in the right direction. We finished the climb around 6:30 when the sun was setting. We booked it to the top but we were too late and couldn't find the cables in the dark. We huddled in a nest of pine needles until SAR got us at 1:30 am. We returned to camp at 5 am. | ||

I can't believe the park lets people go up this thing. I used climbing shoes, a harness, and clipped a daisy chain to the cables; I guess I know too much (not). | ||

pjgordon | Foolishness | |
I have summited Half Dome many times including by moonlight. In the summer of 2006 I left the cables after climbing half way because the freezing rain was driving me from the slick granite. Well the gun-ho new father behind me didn't want to wait and with his toddler strapped to his back he moved outside the cables and on up the wet rock to the top. I am surprised more people don't fall. | ||

CookieMonster | Cables Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2007 | |
There's nothing wrong with my vocab, but it's tough thinking of adjectives to describe this climb. From Yosemite Valley, past waterfalls, through meadows, and finally up the rock. The cables section seemed steeper than shown in any picture, and the rock was worn smooth. It takes a little courage to make it, but it's definately worth it! | ||

MoapaPk | Harf Dome Cables Date Climbed: Sep 18, 2007 | |
I used no gloves, but it seemed everyone else did. My palms and fingers are slightly calloused from pull-ups, maybe that was the key for me. I was surprised by all the people, even at midweek in September. Came down on the outside of the cables, which was fast, but seemed to put the ascendant ones in a state of confusion about protocol. I'd guess my grip is stronger than average, again from the pull-ups. | ||

More quote details and news » 's quarterly profit and revenue traveled a familiar downhill trajectory Thursday. But the results sent its stock in an unfamiliar direction: up.
The Palo Alto, Calif., technology company's net income declined 16% and revenue fell 6% in its fiscal first quarter from a year earlier, but the results weren't as bad as H-P had earlier forecast and provided a glimmer of hope to investors that the worst might be over. H-P also didn't announce any write-downs, big job cuts or strategic reversals as it has in some past quarters.
Now Reporting
Track the performances of 150 companies as they report and compare their results with analysts' estimates. Sort by date and industry.
That was enough to send H-P's shares up more than 5% to $18 after-hours, after the stock ended in 4 p.m. trading at $17.10. The company's stock price is down more than 66% over the last three years.
"The patient showed some improvement," Chief Executive Meg Whitman said in an interview. She added that H-P's turnaround plan was moving in the right direction, and while she expected some setbacks, she hoped "the setbacks would be minor based on what we saw in 2012."
H-P has had three CEOs since 2010, has experienced heavy executive turnover and pursued several different strategies. In November, when it last reported quarterly earnings, the company announced an $8.8 billion write-down of its acquisition of Autonomy and blamed fraudulent accounting at the software maker. Autonomy's former CEO has denied the allegation.
On Thursday, H-P avoided unveiling any surprises. But business was down in every operational unit.
Sales of personal computers, which have been hit hard by an industrywide slump, declined 8% to $8.2 billion. Revenue from printers fell 5% to $5.9 billion, and services fell 7% to $5.9 billion. The group that sells servers and other products for businesses saw sales fall 4% to $7.0 billion. H-P's software business was also down 2% from a year earlier to $926 million.
While the quarter was relatively poor, "there was a worry that [H-P] was just deteriorating into nothingness but this quarter proved that's probably not the case," said Rob Cihra, an analyst at Evercore Partners. EVR -1.12% Evercore Partners Inc.

Meg Whitman, chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard Reuters
H-P Chief Financial Officer Cathie Lesjak said in an interview that the quarter likely represented the floor for H-P. She said the second half of 2013 looked better than the first and that next year looked even better. She added that H-P has new products that will have gained traction by then and that the bottom line would benefit from cost cuts. "We are on our path on the turnaround journey," Ms. Lesjak said, calling the January quarter "one very constructive data point."
H-P also generated $2.6 billion in cash during the quarter and paid off more than $1 billion in debt. Ms. Lesjak said repairing H-P's balance sheet, which has been hurt by big acquisitions and poorly timed share repurchases, is a top priority. Ms. Lesjak said she recently spent 45 minutes talking to 1,000 managers about the importance of cash flow in order to make that clear internally.
Overall for the quarter, H-P reported net income of $1.2 billion, or 63 cents a share, down from $1.5 billion, or 73 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time charges, net income was $1.6 billion, or 82 cents a share. Revenue was $28.4 billion compared with $30 billion a year ago.

LIBERTY, Texas (AP) — A man who was a fugitive for nearly two weeks after fleeing his trial a day before being convicted in the repeated group sexual assault of an 11-year-old Southeast Texas girl has been formally sentenced.
Eric McGowen returned to a Liberty courtroom Thursday and was told by a judge that a jury sentenced him to 99 years in prison.
McGowen was silent during the brief court hearing.
The 20-year-old was not in court on Aug. 30 when a jury announced the sentence. McGowen had been free on bail and never came back to court after a break in testimony on Aug. 29.
He was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced in absentia.
McGowen was arrested Tuesday in a Houston apartment.

Photo: Radek VanaPlayer Educational Forum at the 2012 World Junior Tennis Finals
PROSTEJOV, CZECH REPUBLIC: Players at the 21st World Junior Tennis Finals in Prostejov last night laid down their rackets and attended an educational forum.
The forum in Prostejov was attended by all the teams and their captains competing in the World Junior Tennis Finals.
Luca Santilli, the manager of junior tennis at the ITF, began by giving a talk entitled 'What is the ITF?'. Backed up by dvd footage and slide shows of ITF events, Mr Santilli explained to the players about the role of the ITF in the sport and talked about how the ITF and players can work together.
Santilli was followed by Anne Pankhurst, who gave the players invaluable information regarding child welfare and the steps being taken to ensure their safety.
Guy McCrea, a sports journalist for Eurosport, Radio Wimbledon broadcaster and WTA on-site commentator, gave an interesting and engaging talk on "Media in Tennis", explaining it's key role in tennis and giving advice on how to successfully interact with it.
Fabio Della Vida, former agent of several top players, explained the role of the agent in a player's support team and gave advice on when and how best to employ suitable representation.
The ITF has long been committed to helping young players learn the off-court skills that they will need if and when they become professionals, as well as keeping them informed about the rights accorded to young people by the United Nations. It holds regular educational forums at its team and individual events and has launched an online junior tennis school to educate them on issues such as anti-doping, coaching, parental involvement and dealing with the media so that they can learn via the internet as well as at the forums.

For fiscal conservatives and deficit hawks, birth control turns out to be something of a miracle drug. It saves everyone money. Consider a meticulously-researched brief, released last Monday by the Brookings Institution, that studied family-planning programs covered by Medicaid, and came to an eye-opening conclusion. Every taxpayer dollar spent on family planning services - including teen pregnancy prevention programs, media campaigns against unprotected sex, and expanded access to birth control - would save between two and six dollars of taxpayer money.

Holy Land Trust believes that peace in the Holy Land is possible. Not only that, we believe that the Holy Land will one day become a global model for peace, justice, equality and reconciliation between peoples.
Nonviolence is at the heart of Holy Land Trust's work and is incorporated into everything we do and strive for. We seek to live out nonviolence as a core spiritual teaching, not only as a pragmatic approach to dealing with conflict.
In order to achieve a future that seems impossible to so many, leaders first need to engage in new levels of thinking that allows for them to fully see the possibility of peace in the Holy Land and work towards that vision.
We believe one of the biggest challenges preventing a viable peace process is the lack of mutual trust and respect between the different groups, especially between Palestinians and Israelis.

If you want to get a real taste of life and tradition and history in Israel, you must visit the markets. We saw numerous fresh fruit markets and stands along the highway in the smallest of towns. The tangerines are fantastic here. We spent time at the Arab quarter in the old city. We got there early so the opening line from all the vendors was: "Special deal because you are first sale of the day." They believe it gives you good luck for the day if you cut a deal first thing. At least that's what they said. It worked because I bought a lot of things I probably don't need.
We also talked to a Palestinian cousin of former Oregon Governor Vic Atiyeh. He pulled up a table in his shop, poured us some hot tea, and talked to us at length about life in Jerusalem and his hope for the future. He was very kind and even took us on a tour of the church of the holy sepulchre where Jesus was crucified. He took us to his friend's restaurant and we had a wonderful lunch.
We also paid a visit to the Shook--the food market in downtown Jerusalem. We went as vendors and people were scrambling to buy and sell food in time for Shabbat. It was an incredible experience full of energy and excitement. You can hear my story from the Shook on FM News 101 Monday morning..or on a podcast later on this web site.
A tour of the Holocaust Museum tomorrow and then we're headed back to the states. I'll still be posting pictures on KXL's facebook site....so check it out.

The FridgeCan Eating Carbs at Dinner Help You Lose Weight?
If your dinner is packed with lean protein, read this. Eating to lose weight—and to prevent diabetes and obesity—may mean switching things up..
MF Editors Recommend
If your diet leaves you hungry all afternoon, try shifting things around. Eating most of your carbs at dinner might increase your satiety throughout the day—not to mention reduce your risk for obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.
In a recent study, published in the journal Obesity, Israeli researchers put 78 overweight police officers on one of two weight loss diets—the first ate carbs throughout the day while the second saved them for dinner. (The study authors say the latter diet was inspired by Ramadan, during which Muslims fast all day and eat a starchy, celebratory dinner at night.)
After six months, the officers who concentrated their carbs in the evening were less hungry during the day, lost more weight and body fat, and showed better measures on a series of factors (like blood sugar and lipid levels) crucial to combatting obesity and diabetes. The study also found that the carbs-at-night plan had a positive effect on the secretion of a few key hormones that regulate hunger, satiety, and glucose levels.
So is carb-loading at dinner the answer to curbing mid-day cravings and keeping your weight—and health—in check? Possibly. The study was small, so the effect might not work for everyone. But what's important to remember is that when you eat your food is just as important as what you eat. Always listen to your body...and figure out what works for your own appetite and energy levels.
