Four Star Rovers Rumble Athlone
Friday 14th March 2014. SSE Airtricity League Premier Division. Athlone Town Stadium.
Athlone Town 1-4 Shamrock Rovers
Eighteen years after their last home League game as a Premier Division side, Athlone Town were handed a difficult first home fixture when they hosted Shamrock Rovers on Friday night in Athlone Town Stadium. With previous midlands meetings taking place in St Mel's Park and Dubarry Park, the game marked Rovers first competitive visit to the venue, having played a pre-season friendly there in 2009.
Despite being injury free, and welcoming Derek Prendergast for his home debut, Athlone's relatively small squad were feeling the effects of a busy opening schedule as they took to the field for the third time in seven days.
With the game scheduled for a 7.45pm kick off, a floodlight issue delayed the start, and the game was underway just five minutes before a dip in the lights forced referee Tomas Connolly to call a halt to proceedings while the problem was rectified.
With the game finally under way, Rovers looked the dominant force from the start and took the lead in the 21st minute when Ciaran Kilduff was on hand to fire home from close range after Athlone goalkeeper Paul Skinner lost control of Sean O'Connor's corner.
Eight minutes later the visitors doubled their advantage when the lively Gary McCabe latched on to Shane Robinson's through ball to calmly slot the ball past Skinner. After attempts from Sean O'Connor and Luke Byrne, McCabe almost netted a brace before the break, but his powerful shot rattled the upright.
With the second half just four minutes old, Rovers effectively sealed the win when Ciaran Kilduff got on the end of Simon Madden's cross from the right to score his second of the game, hooking the ball past Skinner as he fell backwards.
Athlone manager Mick Cooke tried to shake things up just after the hour mark with a triple substitution seeing Barry Clancy, Ian Sweeney and Graham Rusk coming on for Sean Byrne, Mark Hughes and Jason Marks. Despite the introduction of fresh legs, Rovers remained dominant with chances few and far between for the hosts. Wave after wave of attack saw Skinner thwart Kilduff from getting his hat-trick while also stopping Ronan Finn and Karl Sheppard getting on the score sheet.
Athlone were dealt another blow in the closing ten minutes when captain Aidan Collins hit the ground hard during a challenge, dislocating his shoulder in the process. With all three substitutes already on the pitch, Athlone were forced to see out the game with ten men.
With the clock running down, Rovers substitute Eamon Zayed wrapped up the scoring for the visitors to make it four, before Alan Byrne pulled back an injury time consolation goal, forcing the ball over the line from close range in a crowded penalty area.
Rover And Out As Sligo Take The Points
Saturday 8th March 2014. SSE Airtricity League Premier Division. The Showgrounds.
Sligo Rovers 2-1 Athlone Town
On a wet Saturday evening, Athlone Town traveled to The Showgrounds to begin life in the Premier Division with a difficult game against Sligo Rovers.
With a small squad to operate with, Athlone had to plan without Derek Prendergast due to suspension, while they could only manage to fill 5 of the 7 allowed places on the substitutes list.
As expected, Sligo had the lions share of possession early on and attacked from the start with Danny Ledwith striking the post with a shot inside the opening 5 minutes, before Aaron Greene had Paul Skinner scampering across his goal to cover his shot from distance.
After taking the opening 15 minutes to settle, Athlone tried to make inroads on goals, however playing Philly Gorman as a lone front man left last seasons top scorer chasing down everything with little support.
As the half progressed, Ledwith and Kaelan Spillane both had efforts sail just the wrong side of the woodwork, while Gary Rogers in the Sligo goal was left untroubled for the majority of the half.
In the second half, Paul Skinner showed exactly why he was named in last years Team of the Season, with a string of fine saves in quick succession from Davi Cawley and Eric Odhiambo before again denying Danny Ledwith.
With 53 minutes played, Athlone finally got the rub of the green when a handball inside the area left referee Rob Rogers no option but to award a penalty to the visitors. Up stepped Gorman to cooly fire the ball low and hard just beyond the outstretched left arm of Gary Rogers.
The lead lasted just 10 minutes though when wave after wave of attack finally found a chink in Athlones armor and John Russell nipped in to head home at the back post after David Cawley's cross from the right wing caught the town defence ball watching.
With Sligo throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at Athlone, it looked like the Midlanders would leave the North West with a hard fought draw; but fortune favors the brave and with 2 minutes left on the clock, substitute Even McMillan latched on to John Russell's low cross into the box to fire past Skinner from close range.
Athlone Go Dutch But Longford Go Through!
Monday 10th March 2014. EA Sports Cup. Athlone Town Stadium.
Athlone Town 0-1 Longford Town
Wearing a less than traditional kit of Orange and Black, Athlone Town crashed out of the EA Sports Cup at the first hurdle as Longford took the spoils in a lack luster Cup Derby at Athlone Town Stadium.
Despite wearing the Dutch colours, Athlones performance was far from "Total Football" as they took to the field for their second game in three days. With a tough game against Sligo barely behind them and an equally tough encounter with Shamrock Rovers to come, Athlone tried a squad rotation for the visit of Longford Town. Having a small squad, however, meant that the rotation was mostly positional as Kealon Dillon and Sean Byrne moved into midfield roles, with Grahan Rusk playing up front and Jason Marks floating between midfield and forward roles. Alan Byrne dropped back to sit in between the center backs and center midfield while Neil Harney and Barry Clancy came in to the full back positions.
In the first half Athlone made a flurry of attacks, with Kealon Dillon firing over the bar before Graham Rusk squandered a chance from close range. Just before the break, Longford had their first clear cut chance when Kevin O'Connors shot deflected wide of Craig Sextons post.
Athlone started the second half brightly with Dillon coming close to breaking deadlock, but his deft lob bounced just the wrong side of the post as keeper Paul Hunt stood in no mans land.
On the 70th minute, Longford got the rub of the green when Sexton parried a shot from Davy O'Sulivan, and with the Athlone defence caught flat footed, Gary Shaw was on hand to fire home unchallenged. Ten minutes later, James O'Brien came close to equalising but as his long range shot looked destined for the top right corner, Hunt pulled off an acrobatic save to flick the ball just over the bar to ensure Longford progressed to the next round.

Strawberry Delight As Athlone Cruise Past Wexford
Wednesday 19th February 2014. Leinster Senior Cup.
Wexford Youths 1-4 Athlone. Ferrycarrig Park.
Eighteen years after their last competitive game as a Premier Division team, Athlone Town took to the field as a top flight outfit once again on Wednesday evening with a convincing win over Wexford Youths in the 2014 Leinster Senior Cup.
In extremely difficult conditions, thanks to a constant downpour in the not so sunny South East, Athlone took the lead inside the opening ten minutes when a defensive error allowed Sean Brennan cut through from the left wing to latch on to the ball, calmly slotting it under Brandon Callaghan in the Wexford goal.
Athlone found themselves two up inside twenty minutes when Graham Rusk opened his account with a wind assisted shot from the edge of the eighteen yard box that flew over Callaghans outstretched arm and into the top of the net.
Minutes later the wind played a part in Wexfords revival when Danny Furlong sent a looping header from just inside the penalty area, over the back peddling Paul Skinner and into the net.
Furlong came close to drawing the sides level before the break when his delicate flick past the advancing Skinner bounced the wrong side of the post and wide.
Conditions went from bad to worse in the second half, with heavier rain adding to the already howling wind. On the hour mark, and with the wind moving the ball in all directions in the air, Mark Hughes took advantage of some nervous goalkeeping when Callaghan dropped a cross allowing the midfielder tap in from close range to restore a two goal lead.In the closing twenty minutes James O'Brien wrapped things up for the visitors when the Wexford keeper lost control of the ball outside the area, and with the goals empty he sent an angled shot into the net to make it four.
In the later stages of the game, Athlone were reduced to ten men when Alan Byrne had to leave the field injured after all the allowed substitutions had already been used.

Athlone Town Hold 127th AGM
On Wednesday 12th February, at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel, Athlone Town Football Club held their 217th Annual General Meeting, commemorating one of the Clubs most successful years on the field. The top table consisted of Club President, Tony Knight, Treasurer Joey Boland, Chairman John Hayden and Secretary David Dully.
The Secretary, David Dully, opened proceedings by reading the minutes of the 126th AGM before Club President, Tony Knight, called for a minutes silence in memory of deceased members and supporters of the club. After the President congratulated the club on a successful 2013, Club Treasurer Joey Boland distributed the accounts.
The accounts, for year ending 30th November 2013, showed a profit on ordinary activities of €152, an increase of €27,821 on the 2012 figure which was largely attributed to increased gate receipts, along with prize money coming from the League win.
Administration expenses rose by €16996 which largely accounted for gathering of a squad coming into the 2013 season.
Chairman, John Hayden, began his speech by recognising the clubs achievements on the field of play with the U17 side winning their League, the U19s winning the League of Ireland U19 Southern Division while the Senior side finished the year as League of Ireland Division 1 Champions, earning promotion to the Premier Division for the first time in eighteen years.
Special mention also went to Patrick Dunican, Aaron O'Neill and Ryan Gaffey on their call ups to the Ireland U18's and U17's respectively while also acknowledging the work done by the local underage club in developing players.
He also recognised the frustration felt by supporters with regard to the departure of manager Roddy Collins, stating that as events were unfolding, the club did not wish to conduct business in public at a time when negotiations were still on going with the management team. Hayden stated that Roddy still remains a friend of the club, however from a financial point of view the Club could not meet his expectations going into 2014. He also complimented the supporters for the carnival like atmosphere they brought to Athlone Town Stadium during the year and looked forward to their continued support in the Premier Division while announcing James Blacoe and John Croughan as Supporter Liaison Officers for 2014.
Hayden continued with an overview of the Clubs longer term vision with the continuation of underage teams at U17 and U19 level along with a partnership with local schoolboy club St Francis. There will also be investigations into the possibilities of fielding teams at U15 and U16 level in line with the recommendations of FAI High Performance Director Ruud Doktor. The club have also entered a partnership with neighboring Scoil na gCeithre Máistrí, allowing the Gael Scoil access to the Athlone Town Stadium facilities. It is also hoped the Club will be in a position to appoint a Community Liaison Officer in the future.
From a Senior team perspective, the fall off of players after U17 and U19 level has prompted Athlone Town to accept an invitation to enter a team in a newly established Connacht Senior League along side Sligo Rovers, Mervue United, Salthill Devon, Castlebar Celtic, Limerick FC and Longford Town.
He also outlined plans to apply for Sports Capital Grants, and hoped for more fundraising, for the development of a new astro pitch and also full size grass pitch, along with the construction of a second stand for the main pitch at Athlone Town Stadium.
It was also noted that the Club have yet to find a main sponsor for 2014, and while not the preferred choice, have still not ruled out the possibility of holding a raffle for the jersey sponsor like last year.
A motion to amend the Club Constitution with regard to reducing the number of Club Trustees to 3 was proposed and passed. Prior to this, the constitution allowed for a minimum of 5 and maximum of 10, however as there appeared to be no sitting Trustees at present, it was agreed to make the amendment.
The eagerly anticipated "Any Other Business" sparked much debate, with the departure of the U19 management team, and the severance of the Clubs affiliation with the Athlone District Schoolboy/Schoolgirl League the major bones of contention.
Relations with the ADSL broke down late in 2013 with the fear that the proposed Athlone Town U15/U16 sides would decimate the ADSL, and contradicting statements regarding related correspondence fueled the fire between Hayden and ADSL Chairman Padraig Quinn. The affiliation of St Francis as opposed to the entire ADSL also raised eyebrows, however Hayden assured those in attendance that Athlone Town continue to have a relationship with all individual clubs, reiterating that the Club would be available and open to reconciliation talks with the ADSL Executive for the good of local football and players.
The issue surrounding the dismissal of U19 manager Michael Collins was high on the agenda from the floor with the Chairman stating that a complete breakdown in trust had lead to his decision to relieve Collins of his duties. He was also quick to point out that an unsuccessful reconciliation meeting had taken place soon after the departure and that the reasons listed on social media couldn't be further from the truth of the situation. With Collins not in attendance, Hayden stressed that it would not be appropriate to publicise the full reasoning behind the events.
After the proposing and seconding of returning officers, the meeting ended with the committee looking forward to Athlones venture into the Premier Division under the stewardship of Mick Cooke.

Had the megamax for a month and a half now, and I've enjoyed the increases. I only wish they'd really do some increasing in the upload area. Better, yes, but I wish it were more comparable to other providers.Day in and day out, there are just times of the day where the speed is 2.5Mb/s - 8Mb/s... and that can last for hours. It usually doesn't bother me TOO bad, but it's annoying to see only a third of what you're paying for sometimes.
Is anybody else having latency issues, in Johnstown with the HSI?I don't remember having any connection problems once the Internet was upgraded.Then randomly one day I'd say 2.5 weeks ago my friend who also has ABB HSI and TV Service said his cable randomly become very snowy and his modem cut out a few times.Now I have not really noticed the snow in the TV channels but I am mainly just a ClearQAM user which those channels don't get snow being digital.I would have to say in the past 2 weeks or so, I must have seen my modem up and reboot randomly at least 3 times, and I have known it to do that maybe once every 6 months or something, not this much.
What section of Johnstown? I'm in the West End and have had some minor modem reboots occur a little more often these past few weeks, but nothing much before that. Latency seems fine.Can you post your modem signal stats?Usually if you have a surfboard, you can see them at:»192.168.100.1/RgSignal.aspFor example mine (at the time of posting) is:
Downstream ValueFrequency 681000000 HzSignal To Noise Ratio 38.3 dBPower Level -1.9 dBmVUpstream ValueChannel ID 1Frequency 31008000 HzPower 46.5 dBmV
I am also in West End.Downstream ValueFrequency 681000000 HzSignal to Noise Ratio 36 dBQAM 256Network Access Control Object ONPower Level 0 dBmVThe Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new readingUpstream ValueChannel ID 3Frequency 31008000 HzRanging Service ID 303Symbol Rate 2.560 Msym/sPower Level 49 dBmVEDIT: It appears I must have a bad modem, because ABB said since Sunday, my modem has cut out 40 times. They recommend that I exchange my modem at the office, and that's what I will do.
I think honestly that the lines down here suck.But maybe not, it's hard to say. Let me know what modem you had before, what they replace it with, and if you notice any difference.Sometimes I think they just say that the modem is bad, which isn't always true because really we're both sorta on the higher end of the spectrum for upstream power levels.I just checked mine now, and it's above 51dBmV.Once you start hitting around 55dBmV, then you get more frequent disconnects (T3/ranging timeouts will appear in the logs). I had this issue happening to me a lot, then I picked up a cable amplifier (with a passive return) and it seemed to help a bit for my situation, since the internal wiring for this house is a mess.Posting my stats again:
Downstream ValueFrequency 681000000 HzSignal To Noise Ratio 38.2 dBPower Level -2.1 dBmVThe Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new readingUpstream ValueChannel ID 1Frequency 31008000 HzPower 51.0 dBmV
They gave me the exact same modem a Motorola SurfBoard SB5120, but weird thing is it has a totally different AC plug, which is kinda annoying.My old one had the "wart" in the middle and a normal plug on the end but this time they have me a "wall wart" plug and I barely found a place to plug it in, being so big .Anyway, more to the point the modem appears to be working fine as far as I can tell I do not have any disconnects that are noticeable and oddly enough the new modem doesn't show Baseline Privacy I believe it was a failed anymore.Here is my new numbers:Downstream ValueFrequency 687000000 HzSignal to Noise Ratio 32 dBQAM 256Network Access Control Object ONPower Level -3 dBmVThe Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new readingUpstream ValueChannel ID 3Frequency 31008000 HzRanging Service ID 1022Symbol Rate 3.200 Msym/sPower Level 50 dBmVThough the bad news is I am seeing T3 timeouts just like you said EDIT: The last time I seen one was 110701210245 (timestamp) and I have not noticed anything timing out, so I don't know if it's happening just some times or the modem recovers so fast my network can't tell. I am able to watch a fair amount of streaming video and use a VoIP phone (not from ABB) and really noticed no problems. Before my phone calls would randomly go silent.
Do you have a lot of splits before the modem?If so, fixing this is another major thing that helps fix the signal.Additionally, you could opt for an amplifier solution if you can't modify the cable runs or if you make changes and it still has you on that threshold above > 48dBmV for upstream.I personally ended up re-running a direct line for the modem, and then let the rest of the cables alone to run for video. Adding an amplifier fixed my TV fuzziness on the runs as there are too many splits that I can't directly access to change to a more reliable path.If you are interested, here is the one I purchased:»www.extreme-broadband.com/cable-···iers.phpIt provides a special "passive" return for cable modems, or if you are feeling lucky, you could attempt the normal amplified return path, haha. I'd rather not piss off my ABB neighbors (aka: you and the cable company itself) by potentially feeding interference back through the CMTS and causing issues for everyone. However, if your signal is that marginal, it might not hurt. I have remained cautious about utilizing an active return path.Also, are you renting a modem?
yes I am renting a modem and they claim since I got this new modem I have not been disconnecting at all, so I dunno.If I have problems later I guess I will try those solutions.EDIT: I contacted ABB Tech Support, and since I had this modem for 4 days now, they claim they don't see any disconnecting from me at all. So I guess for now I'm good. This is vs when they said on I think it was a Thur, 40 disconnected since Sun.

IDW Hires Known Girl, Allison Baker, As Director Of Operations
- Written by GHERU on Tuesday, July 01 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: press release
Announcing via press release something CBR !!!!EXCLUSIVELY!!!! reported on last week, IDW made it official that Monkeybrain, Inc. co-founder, and real life girl, Allison Baker will be the publisher's new Director Of Operations. Surprisingly, IDW didn't mention Baker's gender once during the announcement, which is weird, because y'know, she's a girl.
From the press release IDW sent us because we are still on their list, unlike Marvel who is still mad at us for whatever it was Jude did back in February:
San Diego, CA (June 30, 2014) – IDW Publishing is very pleased to announce that Allison Baker will be joining the publisher as Director of Operations. Allison's primary role will be coordinating and expediting the operation of IDW Publishing's ever-increasing production schedule, working directly with the Editorial and Production departments, as well as the newly formed IDW Games division.
IDW CEO and Publisher, Ted Adams, is quoted in the press release as saying "I've been impressed with Allison's skill set since we started working with her, publishing the Monkeybrain titles." Again, Adams failed to qualify any of those comments with a single comment alluding to her gender, which is odd because she's a girl and all.
I have no idea what a new Director Of Operations actually does, but it seems from this blurb that Baker has all the tools necessary, even while being a girl:
The most important qualities in an ideal Director of Operations are flexibility and a wide range of expertise. Allison's experience in both the publishing and entertainment industry certainly fit the bill.
For her part, Baker had this to say:
I am beyond thrilled to be joining the IDW team,..IDW publishes so many fantastic comics for so many different kinds of readers, and really strives to discover new ways to deliver them to audiences. A diverse comics field is a healthy one, and I'm delighted to be a part of that in any way I can.
Again, no mention of her gender at all. Weird.
Prior to her new role at IDW, Allison Baker has shown that she has to ability to be a girl in a wide range of roles including Director of Operations for Robert Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios 2002 to 2005, Director of Production for an award-winning political media consultancy firm, and is currently pretty well known for her EXCLUSIVE CBR articles, Allison Types. That probably explains how CBR got the exclusive announcement.
What's really strange about this whole announcement is that an obviously talented comics professional was hired to an executive level position without the company reminding us how "forward thinking" or "progressive" they are because they just hired a girl to the role. Considering how often comics fans (and professionals too) state that female creators and professionals are somehow different to their male counterparts, we're simply shocked that IDW didn't beat it into us that Baker's a girl...because that's what she is. It's as if gender somehow wasn't a factor in this hire at all.
We here at The Outhouse, your most progressive comic book website, are thrilled with this announcement as it means that sexism is officially dead in the comic book industry, all thanks to a girl. Congratulations, Allison Baker, from The Outhouse.

Another report card not clear enough, but nonetheless we have to talk Trevor Daley.
Daley is the current longest tenured player on the Dallas Stars and has been with them for 2 playoff appearances (however many centuries that's been ha).
He truly had a remarkable season this past year, and looking past his 15 game injury span, he was pretty helpful. He netted 9 goals and tallied 15 assists this past season and gave the other team fits with his 2 way game. His physical fore check on the defensive side of the blue line was just as deadly as his offensive attack. He turned out to be a remarkable leader and went with Goligoski like peanut butter and jelly. Their clicking on the ice was what helped the struggling Dallas blue line this past year. He can be heavily relied on when needed and is always there to lend a helping hand.
He's signed on for the next 3 seasons and personally I believe that we are looking at the new face of the Dallas defense that will remain to be that face for the years to come. His aggressive style of play is hard for teams to match and his talent on both sides of the puck is unbelievable. He stifled the Ducks with his overall quickness and found their gaps much to easily for an average defenseman.
But again, for the very first time it's not all about my opinion! You have the freedom to choose and let your vote be heard on what the Stars should be aiming to do with Trevor Daley during this offseason. Please don't let my vote swing you in any way (as if it hasn't enough already). So go ahead and choose what the Stars should ultimately do with #6, The Architect of Awesome (thanks again for the many jokes, Razor), Trevor Daley:

I was disappointed in the amount of heat coming off the chiminea. We have to sit right next to it - close enough where our clothes smell like smoke. The construction is solid.
Great item! Enjoyable and just lovely!

The Manatee/Sarasota Democratic Black Caucus of Florida
formed in May 2003 to accommodate these needs:
•To unite and increase the political power of Black and Brown Democrats within Manatee and Sarasota counties.
•To take appropriate public stands on issues relevant to the Black and Brown community.
•To encourage and support qualified citizens in becoming candidates for public office.
•To ensure that issues of concern to the Black and Brown community are made known to the Democratic Party, and to encourage the Democratic Party to take positions on these issues.
•To ensure that the Democratic Party includes the Black and Brown community in delegate selections and committee processes at all levels of the Democratic Party, Conventions and Organizations.
A Letter from our President:
Dear Manatee/Sarasota Democratic Black Caucus of Florida (MSDBCF) Members, Supporters, and Community Colleagues,
Our Country is entangled in disagreement on so many issues right now. I'd like to take a moment to state our position on a few of them:
We support a constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana treatment. Medical Marijuana is already providing relief and therapeutic value to residents in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Seriously ill patients should have the right to use medical marijuana without risking arrest and imprisonment.
We support Comprehensive Immigration Reform. We believe in a common-sense solution to our broken immigration system that treats families with respect and dignity; strengthens our workforce and economy; and provides the next generation with equal opportunities to education and prosperity. We call on our legislators to act.
We support a woman's right to have dominion over her own person.
We do not support Representative Stuebe in his position that armed administrators in our schools are somehow going to be of benefit to our children. We believe that such a policy criminalizes our children, and promotes the school-to-jail pipeline that plagues our society.
We support marriage equality.
We call for an Increase to the Minimum Wage. We believe that we are entitled to a life where basic survival for our families is not so pressing an issue.
We call for the restoration of rights for ex-felon citizens who have paid their debt to society.
We reject separate academic standards for different racial groups.
Most urgently, we call for the unfettered right to cast our vote. We are appalled by the country-wide attempts to suppress the vote, but especially so right here in our town. We are seeing precinct closings in our community at a greater rate than in any other. We oppose this insidious process.
We hope that you will join us in our work.
Cornelle J. Maxfield
Manatee/Sarasota Democratic Black Caucus of Florida
Make Sure Your Vote Counts:
VBM means you won't be affected by cuts in early voting and precinct closings
VBM means you won't be given provisional ballots, which are counted the day AFTER an election
VBM makes voting easier for Students
VBM means you do not need Photo ID
VBM allows you to Vote anytime with minimal effort
VBM insures no last minute emergency can keep you from voting
VBM will free you from annoying robo-calls in the time leading up to election day
VBM allows you to vote in your pajamas
VBM assures that your vote WILL be counted. You can track that your request has been received, and after you've voted, that your ballot has been received
VBM requests are valid for only up to two election cycles. You will not be notified when your registration expires, so even if you've registered in the past, you need to register for VBM again.
A Necessary Vote-By-Mail Caveat:
Although a common justification for suppressing our vote is voter fraud; the truth is that when fraud takes place, it's typically happening in the various Supervisor of Elections offices.
There is room for personal discretion with regard to your signature. Be sure that your signature is updated on your voter record. If you're not sure, update your Registration. In fact—update your registration anyway.
Remember that you also have the option of requesting your ballot by mail, completing it on your own time, and then delivering it to the SOE's office personally any time before 7pm on Election Day.

creative writing excersize
so my parents. they're okay, i guess. i mean, they're really good people and all that, but they're loud, my dad more so. & my house is small & becoming smaller & bordering on claustrophobic. so i lock the door to my broom-closet room with a slide-lock from the 1600's or something & try to ignore my dad tramping around and chewing loudly and oh my god why can i hear him chewing through this thick-ass door. my house is becoming claustrophobic and my school is becoming claustrophobic and this town is becoming claustrophobic and i'm ready for greener pastures.
tumblr is not only good for self-gratification (21 followers what) and wasting hours of my time and for cough syrup-chugging gents from Pensicola but also for the weird mashup music that you can find sometimes. Example: last night I was ready for either Death or my fairy godmother to show up because either of them were better than this essay on American Eugenics that I didn't actually want to write but spinney (history teacher) told me to so hey. suddenly, i see a mashup of "royals" and "come together" and that made me want Death slightly less. (i'm fine really)
joy is rare in my angst-ridden life. (really) not Joy the person, I see her all the time, but actual unadulterated happines. i have to fake it when other people are laughing really hard at something I said even though maybe i didn't mean it like a joke (although I probably did) or maybe it's because it's not rewarding to make these same people laugh anymore. no, that's not true. it's rewarding. but it doesn't bring me as much joy. maybe it isn't these people. I made Jack Handy laugh and I expected trumpets and angels but not much happened. claustrophobia.
(it was at this point that a girl in my class looked at me with these knowing eyes and i looked at her and did the perfect smile-falter-head-take to the side thing that all the damaged characters in shows do. it's been a long week.)
oh man Tomasita's burritos are the best & made all the work on that Junior day so worth it. little bummed that I wasn't sitting at rob's and molly's and zoe's table though, because I felt like I was missing some of Rob's quips or Molly's little wisdoms or Zoe's almost-surprised-but-not-quite laughs. it's rewarding to make zoe laugh, actually, i think because i usually can't and she laughs at my warm-up jokes but not at my big-funny jokes. speaking of molly, she had a dream in which i literally put my own head on a platter & smothered it in chile. there's a metaphor in there somewhere. the platter part, not the chile part.
friends are tricky business because i haven't really left my house in the past few weeks due to a combination of too much work and an unwillingness to even look at said work for fear of heart attack. My Prep friends have invited me out a couple of times, but each time I turned them down because of work. I sent my Art School Friend a long text explaining why i'm about 1/327th honorary Cherokee and why that totally helps my college application and he texted me back "Jeremiah" "that was" "literally" "the funniest shit I have ever read" and I sent back "just FYI" to a reply of "but rully tho." So friends are tricky business.

Apple Apple destroyed forecasts with a $45.6B quarter buoyed by strong gross margins. That, along with aggressive share repurchases, allowed the company to blow past earnings expectations and report $11.62 per share, against a consensus forecast of $10.22. The strong showing came on the back of Apple's bellwether iPhone, of which the company sold 43.7 million last quarter. Beyond the current quarter, Apple also announced a dividend increase in May of 8%, a 7-for-1 stock split effective in June, and a $30 billion additional authorization to its stock repurchase plan. The stock is soaring after hours.
Looking ahead to next quarter, the company's guidance calls for $36-38B in revenue against $35B last year. With an expected gross margin of 37-38% and a significantly smaller share count, look for EPS to be up modestly.
I'll have a forecast range in an update shortly. Update: Apple EPS guidance range: $7.75-8.73, using 860-870M shares. Last year Q3: $7.47.
As for the just ended second quarter, the EPS tally is 15% higher than last year's $10.09 EPS figure and revenues grew nearly 5% while analysts were expecting flat results. The big difference maker was strong iPhone sales, which blew past all projections with 43.7 million. (The professional consensus was just shy of 38 million, according to Fortune.) That doubtless helped the company post gross margins of 39.3%, also well ahead of expectations. But the news wasn't all good as iPad sales dropped sharply against last year's total. Only 16.4 million of the tablets were sold versus 19.5 million last year.
Apple says it will borrow again to help fund the share buyback program. At current prices, the money Apple has yet to spend repurchasing its own stock appears to be sufficient to retire more close to 10% of the outstanding shares of the company. Look for Apple to buy aggressively on any weakness in its stock price. While the company continues to have one of the world's richest balance sheets, it's continuing to borrow to fund buybacks both because of the tax-advantaged nature of doing so as well as the fact most of its money is locked up overseas and would be taxed heavily if "repatriated" back to the U.S.
Apple's conference call is underway…
5:03 pm: Our strongest non-holiday quarter ever. Tim Cook says taking into account foreign-exchange effects and inventory management, actual growth was closer to 10% than the reported 5%. Cook says Apple gained smartphone share in U.S., the U.K, Japan, Canada, Germany, great China. Cook calls out iTunes/AppStore growth as well. 800 million accounts.
5:05 pm: Cook acknowledges analysts were looking for more iPad sales than Apple was. He says the company hit its own target for the quarter. "All time quarterly revenue record" in greater China of about $10 billion. Also mentions 55% smartphone market share in Japan. Cook quickly addresses rumors of delays with Angela joining to run retail; she's coming next week.
5:08 pm: Cook says most people buying iPads and iPhones are new to Apple. He believes the "halo effect" is alive and well apparently.
5:09 pm: Moving to capital allocation. He says most of value Apple creates is through building great products, having stores, strengthening its supply chain. "We are not going to underinvest." Cook says 24 acquisitions in the past 18 months. Wants to maintain "financial flexibility." Says he is grateful for investor input on how to use Cook and promises to update around this time each year.
"We continue to be in the fortunate position of being able to return significant capital to shareholders." Apple's shareholder capital return is now at $130 billion and is due to be completed by December of 2015. Vast majority will go to share repurchases. "We believe our current stock price does not reflect the full value of the company."
5:12 pm: "We are planning for annual dividend increases going forward."
5:15 pm: Luca Maestri now with financial rundown, replacing Peter Oppenheimer on this section (Oppenheimer is retiring in September). 43.7 million iPhones, a March quarter record, 17% growth year over year. Maestri touts results in China, Japan, India and Vietnam especially.
5:17 pm: iTunes sales and services up 11%. That's growth but a big slowdown in growth. iTunes itself $2.6B, up 9%, a new record. AppAnnie, AppStore 85% more revenue than Google Google Play store despite smaller iPhone user base. He says iPad sell through is down just 3% year over year, while sell-in to the channel was down 16%. Apple being transparent here, but we'll have to wait and see if there's a big slowdown in iPads or a small one.
5:19 pm: Maestri says iPad has 95% share of U.S. education market.
5:20 pm: 88% of Apple's cash is now overseas. $21 billion was spent on capital return. $2.7 was dividends.
5:22 pm: $46 billion of $60 billion for share repurchases has been spent. With $30 billion being added to the total, that leaves what seems to be $44 billion. New dividend is $3.29 per share, up from $3.05 and an 8% jump. After a brief restatement that Apple believes corporate tax code needs reform, it then makes it clear it will borrow more money since all its cash is tied up overseas. Says borrowing will look like last year's total.
5:26 pm: Cook gets to announce the stock split and then says nice words about Oppenheimer. Notes Apple has grown 20x since Oppenheimer took job as CFO. "I wish him all the best." Oppenheimer transitions out of day to day by June, retires in September. Oppenheimer allegedly never missed guidance in 10 years as CFO (according to Cook). Apple used to blow away its number, but recently has been guiding to a range and hitting it squarely.
Onto the Q&A:
5:29 pm: Cook points out that iTunes / AppStore growth rate looks lower than it is because it includes slower-growing services revenues.
5:30 pm: "We saw some pressure" from stricter upgrade policies, Cook said. He was pleased with iPhones pretty much everywhere though, and has now mentioned largest total BRIC country sales at least twice.
5:33 pm: iPhone average selling prices were down by $41, a record decline. Maestri says the iPhone 4S is doing great in emerging markets, which accounts for about half the decline. So Apple is getting great leverage out of selling a 2 1/2-year-old phone overseas at what amount to a still very high price. One can only imagine what kind of leverage they'd get out of, say, a year-old product at a slightly lower price.
5:35 pm: Cook actually acknowledged that Apple was still selling the iPhone 4, though he noted they didn't sell many. (Apple has been cagey about this.) "We've seen our ability to attract new users to iPhone to be significant in emerging markets," he said. He believes that in emerging markets, Apple may have less success selling flagship phones, but good success with older or less top-end products. Cook suggests that those people are likely to remain with Apple over time.
Cook actually thinks some of the new carrier plans around upgrades will actually help Apple, while some will hurt. He's not sure how it will all shake out, but believes that in aggregate it's less important than what's going on around the world.
5:40 pm: A discussion about price yields little insight other than Cook saying "we're not stuck on certain price points."
5:41 pm: iPad "absolutely has been the fastest growing in Apple's history." Cook says it was a hit everywhere overnight and Apple has sold 210 million. He says on a unit basis, iPad has sold twice as many as iPhone did over a similar period of time from its launch. Cook again mention the 95% share of education. "Focus is on penetration, in getting more schools to buy…. Student achievement is higher with iPad in the classroom than without it."
5:43 pm: 91% of enterprise tablet activations are iPad, according to Good Technology, says Cook, calling that "astonishing." NPD reports U.S. iPad share at 46% and Cook says NPD includes a lot of stuff that Apple wouldn't compete with. In other words, he thinks Apple's actual share is higher. Cook thinks Office is good for iPad but would've been better for Microsoft had it been done sooner. "Still a very key franchise in the enterprise… Having it on the iPad is good."
5:45 pm: 98% customer satisfaction for iPad. 4x the web traffic of all Android tablets. "I feel great," Cook says. He notes people are not going to be thrilled with sales numbers every quarter. He says a lot of work is going into making the next iPads even better. "I am very bullish on iPad."
5:47 pm: Asked about acquisitions/ diversification. "The key thing for us is to stay focused on things we can do best…. We currently feel comfortable in expanding the number of things we're working on…. Not ready to pull the string on the curtain… We care about every detail… It takes a bit longer to do that…. Means much more to us to get it right, than to be first." He says customers don't care about first they want "insanely great" from Apple.
Says Apple is "on the prowl" for acquisition candidates. There is no rule that Apple can't spend a lot but it's important that it strategically makes sense. "We are not in a race to spend the most or acquire the most… We're in a race to make the world's best products."
5:53 pm: Cook reiterates huge growth numbers in emerging markets: Turkey, Russia, Vietnam, et al. "I am particularly proud of the results in these markets." The comps must be tiny, of course.
85% of iPhone 4S buyers are first timers. 69% of 5c buyers are on first iPhones, too.
5:56 pm: China is up 21% in the first half of fiscal 2014. They are going to triple retail stores there. At 40,000 points of sale for iPhone, but Cook says that's still really low given size of China.
5:58 pm: "We've sold about 20 million of the AppleTV." >$1 billion in device and content sales for 2013.
6:00 pm: That's a wrap. I'll have an updated version os this with detailed EPS guidance and analysis later this evening.

Roku Starts to Look More Like Apple TV
Roku and Apple TV are the two little boxes that fight for the big cord-cutting (or more likely, cord-supplementing) masses, though they have tackled it in different ways. But with new movie- and TV rental services offerings Roku announced today, and a coming ability to sling video from your computer or mobile device to your TV, Roku is starting to look more like its rival.
(To put this in perspective, though, far more people use a game console or a connected Blu-ray player than a set-top box to get online video to their TVs)
Roku is also launching a new line of streaming boxes that essentially bring higher-end features down to lower-priced models.
MORE: Beyond Netflix: Where Your Shows Are Hiding
Apple TV points you first toward its own iTunes service to buy or rent TV shows and movies, though it has always included Netflix streaming and has been adding more channels, currently up to 25. Starting as simply a Netflix streaming box, Roku has continually added video and music channels, now numbering about 1,000. (Thankfully, Roku also has a good universal search function that covers many of the biggest channels at once.)
New movie and TV offerings
Today, though, Roku announced something like Apple TV's emphasis on iTunes by partnering with movie and TV service M-GO, putting it front-and-center on the home screen, as well as on the remotes for its updated line of streaming boxes.
The new Roku remote includes a shortcut button for M-GO.If you haven't heard of M-GO, don't feel bad. It's been around for less than two years and looks similar to rivals such as Amazon Instant Video. M-Go has been available on the Web and as an app on Android devices and some Smart TVs and Blu-ray players.
Like its rivals, M-GO has a healthy selection of recent movies and current TV shows, at similar prices. You can rent a movie like "World War Z," for $3.99 (aka $4) for standard definition and $4.99 (i.e. $5) for HD. (You can also by the movies for around $20 or more.) TV shows like "Burn Notice" are for sale only, at $3 for SD and $4 HD.
MORE: Best Shows on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and Yahoo Right Now
As such, M-GO is a good supplement to Netflix, which doesn't usually have the latest movies or current-season TV shows. However, you can get similar offerings, for similar prices, already on Roku via its Amazon Instant Video channel, which isn't going away, nor are any of the other video and TV services.
New streaming boxes upgrade features
The M-Go service will come in a software update in October for the current Roku models and the new models. That lineup largely shifts the features of today's models down a notch to lower-priced new models. For example, the new $60 model, the Roku 1, now gets 1080p. It's predecessor at the same price, the current Roku HD, has only 720p capability. The new $80 model, the Roku 2, now has the wireless remote with headphone jack and dual-band wireless that had heretofore been available only on the current $100 model, the Roku 3 (which recently had an upgrade and is the company's most popular model).
Slinging video to your TV
Roku really starts to look like Apple TV later this year when it gains a capability called Miracast to receive video (and audio) wirelessly from smartphones, tablets and PCs.
Apple has offered that capability for a while on Apple TV using its own technology called AirPlay, which works well, but only among Apple products. You can send Apple TV content from a MacBook, iPhone or iPad, for example, but not from a Galaxy S phone or a PC.
That video-slinging ability is more than a neat trick, it's a money saver. Say you don't have cable and want to watch a recent episode of "Burn Notice" on your TV. You can buy it for you set-top box from iTunes for Apple TV or from Amazon Instant Video or M-GO for Roku at $2 in standard definition or $3 in HD (iTunes sells only the HD version).
You can also watch most episodes free on your laptop at usanetwork.com. With video-slinging capability, you can now watch that episode for free on the TV, as well. That's been the killer application for Apple TV, and now Roku is catching up.
However, that is with a lot of caveats: AirPlay works with pretty much all recent Apple computers, phones and tablets. Miracast works with some phones and tablets and some computers, but it isn't immediately apparent or easy to figure out. Still, brining Miracast to Roku could encourage other device makers to get their act together on support.

0Greg Williams , September 25, 2013 1:11 AMReally keen on the latest Roku, just wish they'd actually release it in the UK/Ireland (apparently you can use an imported US one - but messages seem to be mixed on this...)
-3cats_Paw , September 25, 2013 3:03 AMANybody here also got to this news cus you read "Goku" and not "Roku"?

0lpedraja2002 , September 25, 2013 8:47 AMI don't know much about miracast but for those who want to stream through their Roku from their PC use Plex, its pretty damn awesome.
I found this guide for those that are interested:
Great content, but this article could use some proofreading.
Great content, but this article could use some proofreading.
0BeyondTheStars , December 3, 2013 12:29 AMThe ability to stream content from your PC already existed on Roku players using Roku channels like Plex, PlayOn, Gabby, etc. PlayLater is available (for purchase) and functions like a DVR. I have been using PlayOn for a while and it works rather well.
0Gungun Phatphat , December 5, 2013 8:46 AMNice information. THIS LINK REVIEW ABOUT APPLE TV http://productchooser.blogspot.com/2013/12/review-apple-tv-md199lla.html
0ebaleytherogue , December 21, 2013 4:44 AMMiracast, in the PC world, can be used to wirelessly add another monitor to one's PC. This is different than Plex (which I love), PlayOn, and so forth, in that one does not simply broadcast media content, but actually uses the Miracast device as a second monitor, thus enabling one to compose documents, surf the web, and run other apps.
Question, Sean: When is the ability coming? I looked in the Roku channels store, and even through various private channels sites, and I did not see an available channel. And "later this year" has definitely arrived. I look forward to Miracast, on my Roku 3, but aside from this forum, I have not seen it advertised as an impending feature. Roku's site itself is mute on the subject. Aside from rumor, on the Roku forums, I have not seen an official announcement about Miracast availability this year for the Roku.

We Are Lincoln Men
Abraham Lincoln and His Friends
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreIn this brilliant and illuminating portrait of our sixteenth president, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner David Herbert Donald examines the significance of friendship in Abraham Lincoln's life and the role it played in shaping his career and his presidency. Though Lincoln had hundreds of acquaintances and dozens of admirers, he had almost no intimate friends. Behind his mask of affability and endless stream of humorous anecdotes, he maintained an inviolate reserve that only a few were ever able to penetrate.
Professor Donald's remarkable book offers a fresh way of looking at Abraham Lincoln, both as a man who needed friendship and as a leader who understood the importance of friendship in the management of men. Donald penetrates Lincoln's mysterious reserve to offer a new picture of the president's inner life and to explain his unsurpassed political skills. less

With peace talks engaged for the first time in a decade, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) at its weakest point in history, Colombia's once-stifled oil and mining sectors have taken off, enabling oil production to reach a record of 1 million barrels per day in late-December. Yet the extractive industry has found itself increasingly targeted by the FARC and other rebels who are seeking to force concessions from the government, putting foreign investment, now at all-time highs, at risk.
The FARC are suspected in the bombing of a gas pipeline in La Guajira in Northeastern Colombia on Friday. The attack came days after the leftist rebel group destroyed sections of two oil pipelines and planted a bomb on a railway owned by the country's largest coal exporter, Cerrejón, a joint venture of BHP Billiton, Xstrata and Anglo American. ...

George Preca
|Saint George Preca
Saint George Preca
|Second Apostle of Malta
12 February 1880
Valletta, Malta
|26 July 1962
(aged 82)
Santa Venera, Malta
Honored in
|Roman Catholic Church
|9 May 2001, Floriana, Malta by Pope John Paul II
|3 June 2007, Vatican City by Pope Benedict XVI
|9 May
|Malta, Society of Christian Doctrine
George Preca (in Maltese: Ġorġ Preca) (12 February 1880 – 26 July 1962) was a Maltese Roman Catholic priest who founded the Society of Christian Doctrine, a society of lay catechists. In Malta, he is known as "Dun Ġorġ" and is popularly referred to as the "Second Apostle of Malta", after Paul of Tarsus. He was canonized on 3 June 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI.[1]
Veneration and cause for canonization[edit]
Preca first came to the attention of the Ordinary Congregation of the Cardinals and Bishops of the Congregation for Causes of Saints, which examined the scientifically unexplainable healing of Charles Zammit Endrich in 1964. Zammit Endrich had suffered from a detached retina of the left eye. The healing was declared as miraculous, and was attributed to the intercession of the Preca[2] after Zammit Endrich prayed to him and placed one of the priest's belongings under his pillow. The healing took place outside of a hospital, overseen by the personal doctor of Zammit Endrich, Ċensu Tabone, later President of Malta.
On 24 June 1975, Archbishop Mikiel Gonzi issued a decree initiating the process of Preca's canonization. He was declared "venerable" on 28 June 1999, and on 27 January 2000 Pope John Paul II signed the decree that officially confirmed the Zammit Endrich healing.
In a ceremony in Floriana, Malta on 9 May 2001, Preca was beatified by Pope John Paul II as were Nazju Falzon and Maria Adeodata Pisani.[2]
On 23 February 2006 during the Vatican consistory, Preca was proclaimed the second Maltese Catholic saint, after Saint Publius. He was canonized in Rome on 3 June 2007 along with three other new saints.[1] In his homily, Pope Benedict XVI called Saint George Preca "a friend of Jesus", and at the end of the celebration, he spoke in Maltese, saying the newly declared saint is the second father in faith of the Maltese and Gozitan people.
Preca's Statue & Relic[edit]
A statue of Preca was unveiled at St. Cajetan Parish Church of Ħamrun during a solemn Mass presided by Archbishop Paul Cremona on Thursday 17 December 2009. The statue was placed on the same spot where St George spent hours hearing confession. By the statue there is also his relic with a sample of his blood. Many are those who come to St Cajetan's Parish to ask for his intercession and make their prayers in front of his relic. The bronze statue is the work of sculptor Gianni Bonnici and was executed in Caggiati, Parma, Italy.
Luminous Mysteries[edit]
In 2002 Pope John Paul II introduced five new mysteries of the rosary known as the Luminous Mysteries. There have been claims that Preca is the author of these mysteries. In 1957 he wrote five mysteries which he called the Mysteries of Light, which are almost identical.[citation needed]

Catching up with ADT's new commercial group VP John Kenning
Kenning talks about IT training, where analytics fits into security, and why ROI is so important for his customers
But beyond the ROI push that has transformed commercial security system sales, Kenning comes into the industry during a time of technology transitions. There's the analog-to-IP transition that is affecting all systems integrators like ADT. Kenning's background at Nortel readies him for this, but he recognizes also that ADT, like many companies in the industry, needs to stay focused on training its associates to fully embrace this transition. He says he's focusing the internal training efforts on educating associates about networks and network technology. Kenning said that the company, while it doesn't want to become a company that installs business networks (there's no shortage of VARs already doing this and fighting for those projects), needs to have its people educated so that they can properly work on and implement security systems that maximize the use of the network. That means doing IT training with the hope that ADT's commercial systems unit employees are as ready as anyone to be an end user's "consultants" on large, complex, integrated transactions. It's a move, said Kenning, that takes the expertise brought in from the SST acquisition, and pushes that knowledge out to everyone in the company who would be involved in such projects.
But beyond the analog-to-IP transition, there is also new technology that has to be proven. One of those technologies is, of course, analytics. For groups like ADT's commercial division, it's a technology that can generate a lot of hope and promise. It could mean automated security responses or just faster responses, and someday even more accurate alarm and alert detection. That's the future, but the reality is that analytics was overpromised and under-delivered for so many years that it left a bad taste in many end-users mouths. So where does analytics fit in for a company like ADT (keeping in mind that their parent company Tyco has made some significant investments in this space)?
Here's what Kenning had to say: "ADT is trying to figure out what are the practical applications for video analytics. I think the 'easy' analytics are going to be the first to have payback. Everyone needs to get better because the ROI on analytics isn't as good as it needs to be for end users. Analytics is also going to be different in terms of training. You have to train them [the customers] on how to use the data properly to get that ROI. At ADT, we're also focused right now on training our engineering teams on analytics."
Beyond the nebulous world of analytics (which is, depending on who you talk to, either proven and reliable or still a difficult tool for integrators to add to their skill set), Kenning says ADT is pushing forward in its core business of monitoring. He said that ADT is seeing real opportunities in the banking and retail markets for handling the outsourcing of monitoring. When he speaks about monitoring, Kenning really seems to get the fact that the monitoring industry's future is about more than just burglar alarm signals coming in from the field. It's about video monitoring, doing remote surveillance tours, and remotely monitoring and managing access control systems for their clients.
With advanced monitoring options, a digital transition, and emerging technologies, Kenning has a lot on his plate (could that be the biggest understatement of this article?), but he seems eager to fully understand the security industry, and most of all, he seems eager to listen to his biggest customers to find out what are the problems that they need solved by their integrators, technology partners and monitoring providers. It bodes well for his leadership of ADT's commercial group.

Rory Needs Some Wisdom
I am a huge Rory McIlroy fan. I love his talent, his humility, and how approachable he is. I'll forever be grateful for the time he gave me for an interview in the Augusta National locker room, right after he collapsed in the final round of the 2011 Masters. He's a first class person, with talent that rivals Tiger Woods.'
But I don't like what I saw from McIlroy on Friday at The Honda Classic. An hour after he quit on the golf course he cited wisdom tooth pain as the reason for his withdrawal. I don't question his tooth pain, but its highly doubtful that is the real reason he walked off the golf course. Could it be that he was 7 over par after 8 holes? That he shot a pair of 75's in his first tournament of the season, followed by an opening round loss in the match play the week before? That he hasn't developed any trust in his new Nike golf clubs, and that he has no confidence in his swing? That his mind is more focused on his love life?
Clearly Rory has a lot of work to do on the golf course, but walking off of it in the middle of the round is not the answer. Sure, plenty of other players have done it too, including Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, and Bobby Jones. But what happened on Friday seemed to be more about his golf game than tooth pain. I think Rory will realize that finishing the round would've been a better look. He won this tournament the year before, becoming the top ranked golfer in the world. With that, he has more responsibility for his actions than other players.
If he injured himself during the round, or had chronic knee pain (see Tiger), that would be more understandable. But walking off the course because your tooth hurts, or more likely your confidence is shattered, is unacceptable. McIlroy should have finished the round and then reevaluated his plan for finding his game. Quitting in mid round doesn't benefit him, and more importantly, it hurts the tournament and the tour.
Again, I am a huge fan of his. He's only 23 years old, has plenty on his plate, and is going through some transitions in his personal and professional life. He has plenty of time to learn how to handle tough situations, and is already far ahead of his peers in how to treat people. But I hope he realizes he didn't handle this one the right way.

Not Stretchy Enough
Lovely colors and well made. Fabric is of good quality. However, seems to run a tad small for size and perhaps if it had a bit more "give" or spandex, that would help. Next time I might order a size up.

CRAZY Narrow
They are lovely shoes. I normally wear 8 1/2 W, ordered 9 W just to be safe. These things weren't just snug, I couldn't even get my feet into them. They were nothing like a standard wide shoe.
Silicon Valley, CA
too big
I bought 2 pair of these shoes, in 2 different color, I wear a size 8, the shoes were too big and the boxes the shoes came in were all broken up, don't understand what happen to the boxes. I will return the shoes back for a 7 and half, hope when I get the new size they fit. I really like these shoes
queens ny
I wear 8 1/2 regular or 8 wide, the shoes are a little tight and 1 1/2 inch longer than needed. I'm returning them.
Lisa May
North Carolina
love the shoes
omg!!!! I love these shoes, I wish they can come back on sale like when I bought them, need more pairs especially the red ones, I went on a trip and when I got back home I noticed I must of dropped one of my shoes and I still have that one shoe in hopes that I can find that exact shoe at another store but no....when I bought them they had a deal 2 pairs for less then what they are now...love the shoes I get a lot of nice compliments...
south gate, ca
Chic and Comfortable
I own three pairs of these shoes. I love the sexy look, yet the height of the heel is comfortable. Another plus is the fact that the sole is suitable for dancing which is not the case with many shoes on the market. A great shoe for a great price.
Three is a Charm
Chicago IL
The Shoe Box is W-A-Y too long!
I can wear either a 9-1/2 Wide or a 10 Wide depending on the shoe. I have ordered both sizes now, thinking that the 9-1/2 would look less long in the toe box, however, it still makes my feet look even that much bigger. Also, the wide is still tight. I sent both pairs back. What a shame! I love the style, the selection of colors, the and more moderate heel.
Erie, PA
Very cute shoes!
I got these shoes in the leopard. They are really cute, and they look great on my foot. I wear a size 10, and they are very flattering on. I want to say that I do have a small bunion on my right foot which causes problems with some shoes. These shoes are very comfortable and roomy, although my right foot is a little swollen all the time. So, that shoe is a little more snug than the left -- but still comfortable! I didn't give them 5 stars because of the material. It's man-made (vinyl probably), but unless you get up close, you can't really tell. I'm keeping them -- and I'll probably order another color!

The Gagosian Gallery is currently displaying painting done by the iconic musician Bob Dylan. There are may suspicions on how original the paintings are. They all seem to bear resemblance to many iconic photographs not taken by Dylan.
Here is Dylan's painting
and here is a photography by Leon Busy
Dmitri Kessel
This brings up a few issues. For me as a photographer the main issue is copyright and that he isn't admitting that he copied them.
"I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work. What I'm trying to bring out in complex scenes, landscapes, or personality clashes, I do it in a lot of different ways. I have the cause and effect in mind from the beginning to the end. But it has to start with something tangible."- Bob Dylan via The New York Times
I love me some Bob Dylan but this is a bit suss.
Here is a link to the gallery- http://www.gagosian.com/artists/bob-dylan/

The Artisanal Troll
A society should really only be judged on the quality of its trolling. Some trolls are obvious, some are subtle, some are dumb. (Some are all three.) But some trollery approaches pure critique, is made of the finest digital intervention, and only performed for a limited audience. It's artisanal trolling! Hand-roll troll! (Is it really trolling if you're not chasing a huge audience? Hmm!) Here's Greg Allen going in on Twitter with the Cambridge University's Digital Library's… let's say "ironically orientalist" take on a very beautiful 16th century Islamic manuscript version of Zakariya Qazvini's cosmography.
Some trolling is successful even!
@gregorg @vhfscott brilliant! Now I see that this is clearly the correct interpretation

Today's a good day here. We got in early this morning from Clearwater, FL. Spent an extended weekend with the Phillies for spring training. Very nice time but the best news was that when we flew home we totally missed the snow in Philly. Just rain by the time we touched down. After what we were seeing on the Weather Channel we were pretty stressed. But today is total relief.
