During my lunch hour today I wanted to drop off a fountain pen for repair.
This meant a walk to Downtown Crossing in the shopping district,
an area swarming with people today due to the warm summer weather.
The Bromfield Pen Shop is a place I have dreams about with all their pens, cool ink and exotic paper.
It's the only place in Boston to take a sick pen; the patient of the day: a Mont Blanc fountain pen.
As I walked down Washington Street, grilled sausages, onions and red and green peppers assaulted my olfactory senses.
I was hungry and had multiple thoughts of mustard.
Spicy, brown mustard.
I was limited on time so I dropped off the pen and didn't chance a look at the new inks
that had undoubtedly come in.
I am a big-time sucker for creatively colored inks.
Thank my lucky stars I didn't have the time to spend money I don't have on inks I really don't need.
And ink is sooooo cool.
You have no idea.
I left the pen shop and walked up Bromfield Street when I saw a sign for a tres cool sandwich shop.
I walked in and saw a line longer than the bank on payday.
I would settle for a grilled chicken sandwich from Burger King. (yummy, right?)
I sat down to eat and noticed an older black man panhandling right outside the front door.
This guy was a bit different though.
He wasn't asking for money, though he did hold a large BK cup in his hand.
I watched through the glass as he mouthed 'hello' and 'have a nice day, now' to the many people walking by.
He was polite and generally unobtrusive for a needy guy.
And he was needy.
He stood about my height (5'8") and had on ratty clothes, the overall effect topped off
with a weathered Boston Red Sox hat.
His toothless smile seemed almost innocuous. . . inviting.
You almost wanted to forgive him though he'd done no wrong, if that makes any sense.
As a rule, I don't give money to street people.
I might offer a piece of fruit or a bottle of water if I have an extra.
I reached into my BK bag and took out an order of French Fries that I hadn't ordered.
I brought them up to the register and told the woman that waited on me that I hadn't ordered them. She waved her hand in a 'no comprende' way and said 'keep them'.
I haven't been eating fries lately and decided my windfall would be a snack for the man outside 'working the street'.
I ate my lunch and continued to watch this man smile, say hello, give directions and take whatever this unblinking society would give him.
I finished my sandwich and grabbed the bag with the fries (still sufficiently hot) and left.
I walked up and handed him the bag and said, "Here, eat these. You do eat fries, don't ya'?"
You would have thought I'd just given him a winning lottery ticket.
He smiled and said, "Bless you, my brother. Bless your heart."
I walked across Tremont Street and through a warm, sunny Boston Common back to work,
oddly happy to have been sincerely blessed.
I am: in transition and wondering about my future
I think: the world went to hell in a hand basket . . .
I know: I miss writing
I want: new teeth
I have: questions, too many
I wish: I could find some answers
I hate: goodbyes and temporary crowns
I miss: the old me
I fear: insomnia and more root canals
I feel: like I'm on the verge of something, maybe good, maybe bad
I hear: a fan cooling my sweating cueball head (I shaved this morning)
I smell: a lit cigar
I crave: being 8 years old again running through my neighborhood
I search: for signs of my Mom and Dad everyday
I wonder: about my new neighbor next door and the fact that he wants to swindle me (NOT)
I regret: not finishing college and working retail. I'm so much better than that
I ache: for calm, for indigo breezes and purple sunsets
I care: about the future of my three wonderful girls (I am: so lucky)
I always: look before crossing Boylston Street
I am not: perfect
I believe: in dreams
I dance: when I've had too much Maker's Mark
I sing: because I can
I cry: more often than I believe I should
I don't always: look before crossing Boylston Street
I fight: to stay alive
I write: because I can't afford therapy
I never: wanted to be President
I stole: my wife's heart
I listen: to things no one else seems to hear
I need: a creative kick in the ass and to play my didgeridoo more
I am happy about: my dear friends from Australia that will be here in less than 3 weeks.
Just updating my life status is all.
This post may turn out to be a monthly occurrence.
Tanks for the nudge, M
*a repost from a time I can't seem to forget
This morning, the highway was filled with a multitude of disembodied headlights, each one searching through a seemingly inexhaustible mist, an optical illusion a bit tough to handle at 6AM when you're still sleeping.
I made it onto the train and stared out the window at the relentless sheets of rain.
The dark and rainy skies made me think of a night many years ago when I went to my parent's house after a slew of frantic phone calls from my mother.
She would freak out on a fairly regular basis back then.
At the time, she was in the late beginning stages of Alzheimer's and I was still in total denial.
I pulled into the driveway and saw her silhouette standing in the open doorway.
I remember thinking she looked peaceful standing there
and not the frantic woman I'd just spoken to on the phone.
I called her name.
No response.
As I walked up the stairs, I could see her staring off into the distance, detached and trance-like.
I stood next to her to try and see what she was looking at when she said,
"Look. There's million's of them."
"Millions of what, Mom?" I asked.
"Stars," she said, "Can't you see them?"
In the front yard there was an old oak tree, the leaves still dripping from the heavy rain.
Behind the oak, I could see the front porch light from the Jacobson's house
up on the hill illuminating the thousands of falling raindrops.
Stars, I thought, it's raining stars.
I took off my glasses to see the world, if only for a moment, through my mother's eyes.
A simple oak tree was being transformed into an impressionistic masterpiece right in front of me, thanks to a few misfiring neurons located somewhere in my mother's brain.
"It's beautiful, Mom." I said.
"Yes. It is…" She replied.
I didn't realize it at the time but the raindrops falling from the tree closely echoed the neurological avenue my mother was currently traveling down.
The drops of rain falling and disappearing into the waiting earth were so much like her failing memory,
a collection of antiquated shooting stars ultimately destined to crash and burn, their celestial beauty gone all too soon.
As we stood silently on the porch, an internal cog clicked inside me.
It was a frightening moment of absolute realization.
My phase of denial had finally come to an end.
As uncomfortable as this picture makes me feel
THIS makes me feel even more uncomfortable.
And it gets more uncomfortable as the days grow long reading about people
that think they deserve equality and justice.
Will we ever wake up and smell the coffee?
When will we finally call a spade a spade?
From the leviathan Gulf oil spill and Mexican border breaches to the ever-simmering clusterfuck in the Middle East,
I feel doomed somedays, for so many reasons.
Just like today.
Maybe we just haven't found the answers . . .
Got testicles?
***I changed the post picture for the mental stability of my wife
It amazes me the distance that disease can create between people and families.
Alzheimer's takes everything you once knew about someone and throws it in a closet,
locking the door, throwing away the key.
This Father's Day is the first without my Dad and I'm trying to sort out my innermost feelings.
I will go to the cemetery tomorrow morning with a coffee in one hand and a cigar in the other
and try to remember the man I once called 'Dad'.
I miss him. I truly do.
Not as he was in the past 6-8 years but in the days when I could tell him a joke and
he would laugh; when I could go to the fridge and ask him if he wanted a beer; when I could say, "Hi, Dad,"
on the phone and he knew it was me replying, "Want your mother?"
I will be with him tomorrow as he will be with me.
This Father's Day will feel a bit empty, strange and maybe a bit of a relief that
I don't have to see his withering body sucking on pureed food through a straw.
Tomorrow I will see him as the guy that never missed one damn baseball game of mine,
always called me 'Michael' not 'Mike', a man that taught me how to throw a baseball and pass a football,
a man that never ever let me down, a man that taught me what it means to be a man.
I still miss him dearly but tomorrow I will begin re-building in my mind the complete memory
of a longstanding hero of mine.
If I die being half the man that he was, I will be truly blessed.
Make time to visit or call your Dad today.
Happy Father's Day to all.
Love you, Dad.
It used to be so easy years ago – this blogging thing.
Most people know this blog was my own personal bridge to an understanding of a disease that
has all but consumed the better part of the last 12 years of my life.
Writing used to be so easy, life was the hard part.
Now everything has changed.
The bridge is permanently closed and my journals have been painfully empty.
Empty can be a real painful place for a writer.
I write every day but much of what I write now is too personal and heavy for blog posts.
Many will say that the bridge never closes but for me, this one has.
My reasons for needing it in my life have changed.
I have changed.
My mind is currently like a dark grey and forbidding sky that appears to be swiftly moving yet
still appears the same.
Enigmatic, much like my grey matter.
I need to find a way to connect with my insides again.
The entrance was emotionally sutured in late March of this year.
So where do I go from here?
I'm really trying to find my way back in.
Or out.
Sorry for my absence, if you missed me.
I'm hoping you have.
I'm praying for a light to go on any day now.
And I'm thinking I'll be alright.
But time will tell . . .
Taking an unexpected break folks.
Not entirely sure why but I'm not writing much and reading even less these days.
Not a good combination.
This boy needs to rediscover his priorities.
When I have nothing to say, blogging is meaningless.
As a writer, you can only post so many videos before you admit you're only
appeasing your internal editor.
(who thinks you suck)
Back soon.

My feet are hurting
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I bought these, because the shoe I wanted was no longer in stock. I really enjoy minimalist shoes and this really suits that.
Initial impression: sweet! I like the colors.
I did some small runs to break in the shoe the past 2 weeks and didn't notice too big of a difference from my previous north face shoe. The ankle support is low, which you will get used to pretty quick.
I do notice the cushioning in the ball of my foot, which I am not used to quite yet.
Peter Eischeid
Great minimalist shoe
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
My wife bought these for a casual shoe that she can wear while running the kids around or light exercise. She absolutely loves them. She requires a shoe with a lot of support when doing heavier exercise or she would absolutely use these for everything. A year ago she bought these http://www.backcountry.com/new-balance-101-trail-running-shoe-womens for the same purpose and said although she likes them both she would pick the Merrell next time around. She wears a 9 in the Merrell but a 9.5 in the New balance shoe. The Merrell breaths a little bit better. For her intense workouts she picked these http://www.backcountry.com/asics-gt-2000-running-shoe-womens. Hope this review helps.

Review of Merrell's Mix Master Move Glide
Greg A.
On the way down to barefoot!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
My wife is on the barefoot kick. She got these on her way down to the most minimalist shoes out there. She loved them. Just a heads up of some things she noticed at first. (Mind you she is going down from some clunky mizunos)
1. Super breathable. She noticed as soon as she put them on that she could feel the air moving through them. She decided she lved them for this.
2.The ankle support is low on these. compared to her Mizunos she noticed that the support is cut way below her ankle bone. Made her nervous at first, but ran with them on a few times and likes the new feeling of freedom and strength.
Is there any way to get these in a 10.5?...
Is there any way to get these in a 10.5? They make them, I just don't see them on your website! Thank you!
Matt Towner
As long as they aren't an old style that Merrell no longer makes, they can usually get them. Give Backcountry a call or use their live chat feature and I'm sure they can get a pair ordered for you.

Dancing With the Stars Fall 2011 Cast Confirmed: Who Will Win?by Free Britney at . Comments
Last night on Bachelor Pad, ABC confirmed what we (mostly) knew:
Kristin Cavallari, Ricki Lake, Chynna Phillips, Hope Solo, Elisabetta Canalis, David Arquette, Rob Kardashian, J.R. Martinez, Chaz Bono, Ron Artest, Carson Kressley and Nancy Grace comprise the Dancing With the Stars Fall 2011 cast.
Our list of DWTS spoilers was missing only Carson. Welcome.
Competition for the Mirror Ball commences September 19.
This may not be the big-name cast ABC dreamed of, but it's got something for everyone. Talk about an eclectic group. Now that it's finalized, tell us ...
Who will win Dancing With the Stars?
[Photos: E!]
Mimi: I personally thought Kirstie rocked on last season's show. She and Maks were a phenomenal couple.
I think Eliz Canalis became a woman when Chaz became a man. What do you think?
I doubt I will watch this season because there is celebrity that I really care about on the show this season, what a pity. Out of the humongous suggestions ABC must have received, the final pick is disappointing, to say it bluntly. When that show starts airing same-sex couples dancing together, which I know is their final goal, I definitely will NOT be watching the show. I am interested to see who Maks is paired with since he is my favorite professional dancer, but that is all. So have a happy season.
I'm sorry no one can see farther then their self who knows this may just be the best DWTS Everyone has a chance to show who they are even if you don't approve. I myself will be watching and enjoying it. Kristie was in a good frame of mind to go in front of millions I applaud her. Hey quit being judgemental.
P.S. Funny you should have a migraine med advertised right below this dwts "news".......
Almost gave up on dwts last season when that smarmy, whiny Kirstie whatever made it past the first round. Her agent must have cut a sweet deal with the producers. I'll admit some of the voters were as annoying and stupid as the "star" (K) with their inane comments - "I love Kirstie! She represents all women"! Really? We're obese, middle-aged, scowly-faced wannabes? As far as the upcoming season, the partners may keep me tuned in, but don't know if I can get past Chastity "Chaz", Nancy, Carson, oh hell, the whole motley crew. Ugh!
I will not be watching this season...what a lot of awful, boring choices...I've watched every season...though Bristol Palin was a horrible choice despite the ratings...these are people NO ONE CARES ABOUT! Maybe next year....
Bet the show gets cancelled after this season.They have run out of losers to put on as dancers. Why not put Valerie Bertenelli, Shirley Jones, David Cassidy, Betty White, she would be a hoot. Come on DWTS. Put some real people we know and love on there.
this is one I probally won't watch...recognize a couple names but none I follow etc..boring cast..next!
I can hear the rating crashing down around the pitter patter of dancing feet. This is the biggest joke I have ever seen. This is one show that won't be on my DVR.

The Chandler Fire Department is offering parents and caregivers free car seat inspections and training to ensure child safety seats in vehicles are the right size and have been properly installed. The clinics are offered from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. most Saturdays at various sites around the city.
Certified car seat technicians will conduct the inspections and install car seats. Proper car seat installation is important because car crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 2 to 14, in part because child car seats aren't used or aren't properly installed.
The inspections rotate among various sites that include the Chandler Fire Training Facility, Chandler Regional Medical Center and the Chandler Fire Headquarters. For information or an appointment, visit www.chandleraz.gov/fire or call (480) 782-2046.

A MAN told police he "had a doctor's certificate saying his arm wasn't allowed to be arrested" when officers tried to handcuff him.
Ipswich Magistrates Court heard police arrived at a disturbance at Ripley on February 23 to find Shane Robert Kemp heavily intoxicated.
Officers decided to leave him be but Kemp, 24, followed them out to the police car and started shouting abuse at them.
He was warned to calm down but his bad behaviour escalated and he lunged at police.
Officers attempted to arrest him and Kemp struggled and resisted, and said his arm had a medical certificate saying it wasn't allowed to be arrested.
Kemp was charged with public nuisance and obstructing police.
He pleaded guilty to both charges today and was fined $350.

President of the CatholicTV® Network Speaks Out Against Health and Human Services Imposed Mandate
Catholic PRWire
WATERTOWN, MA (February 14, 2012) President of the CatholicTV® Network Speaks Out
Against the Obama Administration to Change United States Department of Health and Human Services Imposed Mandate
On Tuesday, February 14, 2012, President of the CatholicTV Network, Father Robert Reed, spoke in support of the 400 Catholic leaders that have called on Congress and the Obama Administration to protect conscience rights in health care during a live broadcast of CatholicTV's nationally aired talk show, This is the Day.
The United states Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a rule forcing nearly all private health plans to include coverage for all FDA-approved prescription contraceptive drugs and devices, as well as surgical sterilization. These are listed among "preventive services for women" that all health plans will have to cover without co-pays or other cost-sharing -- regardless of whether the insurer, the employer or other plan sponsor, or even the woman herself objects to such coverage.
Father Reed spoke against the imposed mandate saying, "It's imperative that Catholics and non-Catholics alike carefully consider the ramifications of the HHS mandate. The USCCB, in particular Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Cardinal Donald Wuerl, and Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan have, in their statements, clearly outlined the Church's objections to the HHS mandate and the negative effect it would have on society as a whole. The CatholicTV Network is committed to standing firm with the USCCB in protecting religious liberty and promoting a culture of life. We will be a clear voice for those unable to be heard."
Father Reed's commentary can be seen here: http://youtu.be/vuZUNZMEPwQ
General Manager of the CatholicTV Network, Jay Fadden, spoke out against the imposed mandate as well.
"I believe that not just Catholics, but all citizens' need to oppose the HHS mandate, recognizing the dangerous precedent it would set. The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion. As a result, the mandate would impose a law that contradicts the conscience of many faithful individuals."
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops offers the following clarifications regarding the Health and Human Services regulations on mandatory coverage of contraceptives, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs:
The mandate does not exempt Catholic charities, schools, universities, or hospitals.
These institutions are vital to the mission of the Church, but HHS does not deem them "religious employers" worthy of conscience protection, because they do not "serve primarily persons who share the religious tenets." HHS denies these organizations religious freedom precisely because their purpose is to serve the common good of society—a purpose that government should encourage, not punish.
Under the mandate, the government forces religious insurers to write policies that violate their beliefs; forces religious employers and schools to sponsor and subsidize coverage that violates their beliefs; and forces religious employees and students to purchase coverage that violates their beliefs.
The Administration has refused to recognize the Constitutional conscience rights of organizations and individuals who oppose the mandate, the bishops are now urging Catholics and others of good will to fight this unprecedented attack on conscience rights and religious liberty.
Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, president of the USCCB, sharply criticized the decision by the Obama administration in which it "ordered almost every employer and insurer in the country to provide sterilization and contraceptives, including some abortion-inducing drugs, in their health plans....Never before has the federal government forced individuals and organizations to go out into the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience. This shouldn't happen in a land where free exercise of religion ranks first in the Bill of Rights."

I usually stay at the Waterfront and only chose the Taj out of neccesity because everyone else was full with Argus bookings. I was very pleasantly surprised. This is an excellent 5 star hotel at a fraction of the cost of some competitors. The city location is vibrant and interesting. I had an excellent room with magnificent views of table mountain and lions head. Will definately come back. - Anonymous
1) The staff and management are friendly and always willing to help.
2) The rooms are clean, spacious and beautiful (We stayed in 3 different rooms)
3) The location is within walking distance to food and shopping area. A car will be extremely useful because it is near to Camps Bay which is beautiful

This hotel lived up to all our expectations and more. We arrived at 10.30am and expected to just leave our luggage, but we were given our room straight away. All the staff were very accommodating and the room was very pleasant. The road was bellow our room but we did not hear any noise at all. A lovely big bath was a treat. We had to leave early for the airport so breakfast was provided and a transfer arranged. We would like to have stayed longer. - Anonymous
The hotel was absolutely wonderful. Would like to see more entertainment in the evenings. Rooms just missing shower caps - Ian
Absolutely everything! Amazing room, we were upgraded, amazing hosts the
best breakfast I have had anywhere. The attention to detail and place
was sensational! - Anonymous
Very comfortable, well located. It combines a quiet, "off the beaten path" location with a hotel that was within walking distance of all the best of Cape Town. Very helpful front desk with fantastic assistance in all things. A really great hotel and well worth the price. - Anonymous
Staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. Cango Caves were a lot of fun as was the Safari Ostriches. - Anonymous
We stayed in the Penthouse Suite for 3 nights. The stunning view from our windows and balcony were spectacular and encompassed Table Mountain behind and the bay in front. The suite was comfortable and clean, with tea/coffee making facilities and a fridge which was very useful for wine/water. The rooms also had air conditioning for those very hot days/nights. The cooked breakfasts were very good (made to order), and the fruit salad was especially tasty! The honesty bar was a very good idea, a - Anonymous

If politics were an Olympic sport, would Boris Johnson get the gold medal? As he welcomes the world to London for a festival of corporatist hypocrisy and athletic achievement, the mayor is in the middle of running his own long-distance race, which he hopes will conclude with Boris crossing the finishing line in Downing Street and ascending the winner's podium on the steps of No 10.
Next stop No 10? For all their forced bonhomie, David Cameron (right) is suspicious of Boris Johnson's prime ministerial ambition (PA)
Ignore any claims made by Johnson that he has no intention or chance of becoming prime minister. In television interviews he now struggles to keep a straight face when he is asked the question. "I have as much chance as being reincarnated as an olive," he said in one. He goes on to quote Michael Heseltine claiming he "can foresee no circumstances" in which he would run for the top job. That was the cynical form of words Hezza used as he waited for the right moment to remove Margaret Thatcher. In reality, Boris is one of the most all-consumingly ambitious men of his generation and his denials are, to borrow his own colourful phrase, an inverted pyramid of piffle.
There are sizeable hurdles in his way, of course. Some Tories and former colleagues are determined that Johnson should never win the race to be Conservative leader. Instead, they would like him to be for the high jump. "Shallow, duplicitous, selfish, sociopathic, scheming," says one usually generous-minded ex-colleague when I mention that I am writing this piece on Boris's prospects. I had asked him to define the man in five words. Another laughs and then comes up with: "Infuriating, lazy, funny, charismatic, brilliant."
But it is no longer only Boris who takes seriously the idea of Boris becoming Tory leader and prime minister. One sensible Tory donor muses: "Perhaps if Cameron does not get his act together we will go for the one with the hair. Boris has something special, he connects with people. He has star power."
A Tory colleague who rates him highly says that he has long thought of Boris's career as having five stages. "We are now on stage three. Stage four involves him being prime minister and in stage five he becomes president of the United States." (He was born in New York, when his father was a student.)

Ordered one to replace my P50VT25 (shame I'm actually losing an inch of screen size, 48.9" vs 49.9" according to panasonic's site), paid $10 for a scheduled delivery of supposedly on Saturday 4/20.
Total should be $641 or so if I get my 10% cashback from discover and I sell the pen for $50. I'm also including an $80 discount I got for redeeming Chase Freedom rewards ($320 for $400 in sears GC) and purchasing a $500 gc for $450.
Thanks vigilo.

It says "Online Only! Shop Your Way Members Get 100,000 points on these Smart TVs. Limit 2 per customer Offer ends 20-Apr-2013."
But when I go to check out it says: "You'll earn 10,000 points on this order with Shop Your Way RewardsSM Credit." That's 10,000 not 100,000. Anyone know what's up?
Also, Viglio where are you getting the "5% back in SYWR Points with purchase of 40" and larger TV's ($50)?"
So far, the only discount I'm getting is $10 in Rewards points...?
OK, not sure how you guys did it, but i just got off the line with Sears: they said the only Smart TVs that were eligible were "This offer is valid for the items 05775352000P, 05775362000P, 05775383000P, 05775393000P, 05726616000P." The TC-P50ST60 Item# 05771532000 is not eligible. Even though they very much make it appear that the TV is eligible right up until check-out. Did you get confirmation on those 100,000 points?
That's why I *^%*# hate Sears. That and there 15% restocking fee.

OP if you have any documentation you wouldnt mind removing sensitive info from and uploading to help with potential customer service battles, showing the 100,000 points and such it would be greatly appreciated.

I've learned not to believe everything on forums because it can be so blown up from a single dumb comment. I've seen that with this input lag issue.
L3: Novice
Original Poster
Deal is dead. Sorry guys
L7: Teacher
As far as calling B.S. on the input lag, I don't really know what to say man. I mean nowhere am i Remotely coming close to bashing the ST60 or any TV Panasonic has put out in years, I am in love with them. Further i agree with there being a level of hysteria involved with these things, and I am the first to not take them at face value. That said its a measured result and its a noticeable difference, its likely*** do to the ST60 using a different processor thats not customized in house and hopefully will be able to therefore have a firmware update that takes better advantage of this very low end processor but in this particular case I think you are being unnecessarily dismissive like i said. As far as the UK site that tested it first, they are just the most popular reference because they were one of the first to get their hands on them, but regardless they use 2 different methods to measure input lag on all TV's they test, they tested all the panasonic plasma's last year and all that have been available to them so far this year, and unlike last year where the ST50 actually had slightly better input lag than the GT50 (attributed to the extra image processing) this year the ST60 has input lag about twice as bad and the GT60 and above have better input lag (its not uncommon for the more basic models to have less input lag) than the ST60 and even better than the ST50 last year, this has been replicated over and over.
That being said none of the reviews are saying it makes gaming impossible or pointless, but if you are playing certain types of games and certain modes within the game, its a noticeable difference and if you do a lot of gaming than I definitely understand people wanting to not have to deal with it, it sucks for online gaming when your constantly a millisecond behind.
I will agree there is probably a lot more people that are worrying about it than it would actually effect, but my only point was until it is fixed, and being that I wouldn't mind the 3,000hz FFD, hexa core processing engine or steps of graduation as well, I wish the GT60 was available to me in the states for all those reasons plus it having slightly better input lag than the ST50 even, and near 2x less than the ST60. The ST60 is still a ridiculously amazing TV by all measures, I may have to go with it and find something else for gaming for the time being, Im not sure.
Anyway its been a pleasure, this isn't arguing to me so i hope nobody took it that way, its a area of interest for me that i enjoy discussing. I hope everyone who ordered this loves it, I am praying Panasonic gets recognized for their work withPlasmas and its rewarder with the sales it deserves so they can continue to improve on it. ✌

Over at the AVS forums some people are reporting that the ST60, while having a beautiful picture, has bad input lag for gamers out there.

Best Country Music Remakes Chosen by Sharon
I LOVE country music...old and new! Some artists made the old new again!
Have you heard these versions?
I LOVE country music...old and new! Some artists made the old new again!
Have you heard these versions?
Laura Bell Bundy's video for her latest single 'Two Step' is all a group of girls letting loose together. Shot in a mechanic's garage, Bundy and her female friends earn their own paycheck and then party their way after they're off the clock.
What a great time we had talking to David Nail this morning. He was at his new home in Nashville and took time this morning for an interview.
David is coming to the Windsor Fair next Saturday night, August 31st. Listen to B98.5 for your chance win tickets to the Fair and backstage passes!
But take a look at the answers to some questions I had for David!
When you're a great...you're a great! And one of the greatest talents that has come out of country music is none other than the lead singer of super group Alabama, Randy Owen.
He's written some of Alabama's best songs!
Randy is being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame along with three writers who, you know their songs, but probably never knew their names.
I can't decide!!! They are both SO GOOD!
'Don't Ya' by Brett Eldredge and 'Runnin' Outta Moonlight' by Randy Houser are my FAVORITE Summer songs!!
Both reached number one, although 'Don't Ya' was released in October of 2012 and FINALLY just reached #1. 'Runnin' Outta Moonlight' was released in March 2013. BOTH were co-written by Ashley Gorley. I want him to write for me!
Frankie Ballard has had two top 40 country songs in his country music career, but he hasn't had that big breakout hit yet. That could change with his new single called 'Helluva Life' that has just been released to country radio.
It is called Canine Freestyle in the Musical Dog Sport Association. No, it's real! I have never heard of competitive dog dancing, but whatever. They seem to be having fun, a lot of fun! Check out the do

Purple Summer Skater Dress
Lovely summer dress - Skater style :)
I saw these sort of dresses in the shops recently and decided to try to make one for myself :)
I bought this piece of purple marl jersey fabric off ebay for just £2.75
and when it arrived I thought it was perfect to make this dress.

Step 1
1. Cut the "skirt" piece.
I measured 19" down - I am very short ;)
The length of the piece was about 1.5 meters, but it just depends how gathered you want it to be.
Step 2
2. Cut the "top" piece.
Grab the left over fabric and a t-shirt. Roughly draw around the t-shirt, missing out the sleeves.
You will need to draw around the front - sketching out a neckline and then sketch out the back of the t-shirt.
Then cut the 2 "top" pieces out.
Step 3
3. Sleeves
Using one of the "top" pieces, draw a "sleeve" from the arm hole. Make the sleeve a little longer so you can fold the edge over later on.
Cut out 4 of these "sleeve" pieces
Step 4
4. You should now have something like this cut out.
1x front 1x back 4x sleeves
1x skirt piece
Step 5
5. Sew the sleeves
With the wrong side together, pin the sleeve as shown. Repeat with other sleeve. Sew.
Step 6
6. Sew the "top"
With the wrong sides together, pin the "top" pieces as shown. Sew.
Step 7
7. Attach the sleeves
With the top inside out, pin the sleeves onto the armholes. The sleeve should be placed inside the top, with the sleeve edge and armhole edge pinned together.
Make sure to align the seams when pinning. Sew.
Step 8
8. You should now have something that looks like this :)
Step 9
9. Gather the skirt
I hand stitched the gathering on mine, but you can do it by machine. Try to even out the gathers and pin onto the top.
Step 10
10. Attach skirt to top
Sew the gathered skirt onto the top keeping the gathers even as you go along.
Turn right side out and you should have something like this.
Step 11
11. Sew back seam
Pin the back seam of the skirt together and sew.
Step 12
12. Hem
Turn inside out and iron over the bottom of the skirt and pin. Sew.
Iron the edge of the neckline over in the same way. Sew.
Step 13
13. Folding sleeves up.
Fold the sleeves up, iron and pin. Sew across just the top and the bottom of the sleeve to keep folded.
Step 14
14. Make the waist drawstring
Fold over the edge of a piece of left over fabric. Sew as close to the edge as possible. Cut the left over fabric as close to the sewed edge as possible
Sew the ends down and iron.
Step 15
15. Finished! :)
Try on the dress and tie the drawstring around you waist.
Very nice :)
Thankyou! :) I used 1.5m x 1m, but I had a little left as I am quite small
How much fabric did you use? This is lovely!
Looks really Nice!

Yo Gotti - 5 Star (Remix)
Artist: Yo Gotti
Featuring: Gucci Mane, Trina, Boosie Badazz
Producer: Hot Rod
Album: Live From the Kitchen
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 82 votes )
Featured back in May, Yo Gotti's 5 Star lived up to my early predictions and then some, getting heavy rotation from Southern hip-hop fans and attaining anthem status among countless female listeners. Now, four months later, the hit street single has received the official remix treatment. After Gucci Mane's opener and a brand new second verse by the "King of Memphis" himself, the recession-proof Trina jumps on board to assert her own 5 Star status over Hot Rod's original boardwork, and Lil Boosie steps back into his Independent mode as he brings the track to a close (Anybody else surprised that neither Hurricane Chris nor Pitbull chipped in for their Polo Grounds/J Records labelmate?). In addition to getting listeners hyped for the 2010 release of Live From The Kitchen, this remix should help build buzz for each of the guest features' forthcoming solo projects—first up is Boosie's SuperBad LP, set to hit stores next week (September 15th).

- Release Date: May 3, 2012
- Summary: Exponential Invasion is a mathematical strategy game in which you need to move numbers around a grid, add them together, and solve puzzles by overpowering other numbers. While the game is heavily inspired by Sudoku and Chess, it is a puzzle/strategy game unlike anything to come before it. The game features a wide set of levels, jazzy beats, many explosions, and automatic progress syncing via iCloud.… Expand
- Developer: Danny Perski
- Genre(s): Other Strategy Games
- Cheats: On GameFAQs
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 4
Mixed: 3 out of 4
Negative: 0 out of 4
May 30, 2012So math fans and strategy nuts, enjoy. Exponential Invasion, is, as it claims, a game of mathmatical warfare, and it's a clever one.
May 14, 2012Featuring a minimalistic presentation and though-provoking challenges, Exponential Invasion should get any good mathematician's juices flowing.
May 16, 2012There are only 24 levels. There's replay value because players can go back and try to finish each level with three bombs (the least amount of turns). But even after doing that, the total playtime of the game is relatively low for a $2.99 game.
May 30, 2012Exponential Invasion is an inventive and solid maths puzzler that's just too short.

How to Take a Step Back at Work and Focus on the Big Picture
It's easy to get lost in the weeds at work. While being heads down has its place, it's equally critical to look up: to reflect on how things are going, to consider alternative strategies, and to ask yourself the hard, high-level questions. How can you take a step back and look at the big picture? »

Linebacker Curtis Lofton restructures contract Brad Biggs
The New Orleans Saints have started to address salary-cap issues that could make it difficult for them to navigate this offseason.
The team restructured the contract of linebacker Curtis Lofton, a move that will free up some $4 million in cap room, according to Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com.
The Saints projected to be roughly $20 million over the $121 million camp and this gets them started. Per the report, Lofton was going to have a cap number of $7.1 million but a $5 million roster bonus was converted to a signing bonus, meaning that money will now be pro-rated over the remaining life of the contract.
This is the easy part for general manager Mickey Loomis, who could approach players about reductions in pay and ultimately wind up cutting a few players.

Page Six Tries to Bust Giada De Laurentiis For Spitting Out Food On TV Show
It's a classic tale: media tries to slam woman for her weight, and therefore must find some juicy gossip to back up that claim. Too bad Page Six decided to ignore common sense and the ways of food TV shows to back up their claim that Giada De Laurentiis "spits out everything she cooks."

Former Cavalier golfer Steve Marino is tied for the British Open lead after two days of play. Marino is playing in his first open championship, and only the fourth major of his career.
The former Cav shot a two under par 68 today, and now sits at -5 for the tournament. Marino is tied with Tom Watson heading into the weekend. He said after his round that it was one of the best rounds he's ever played.
This marks the first major championship of the season for Marino. He has started 21 PGA events in 2009, and has three top ten finishes, but no wins. Marino is currently ranked 27th in the world, and hopes to grab his first major championship victory come Sunday afternoon.
The former Virginia star fared much better than top ranked Tiger Woods. Woods missed the cut at the British Open, marking only the second time in his professional career that he has missed the cut in an event.

Aussie hip hop lynchpins Bliss N Eso have revealed the tracklisting and cover art for their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Circus In The Sky. If the list of collaborators is anything to go by, this record is going to be a corker.
Hip hop icon Nas is easily the biggest name to feature, with the New Yorker teaming up with the trio on I Am Somebody. We can also expect appearances from Melbourne soul export Daniel Merriweather and rising American singer-songwriter Ceekay Jones. Track 9, Reservoir Dogs, has piqued our interest – with 360, Pez, Seth Sentry and Drapht all appearing. It's pretty much a who's who of contemporary Australian hip hop. Wowzers.
The artwork features the same winged creature from Bliss N Eso's last 2 records, Running on Air and Flying Colours, but this time it's not Steve Cross behind the illustrations but renowned digital artist Justin Maller, who has worked with the likes of Nike and Coca-Cola.
As per usual, the Sydney outfit have crammed in a lot of value for your buck, squeezing 17 tracks on to the album, including previously released singles House Of Dreams and Home Is Where The Heart Is. Circus In The Sky is available for pre-order now at Bliss N Eso's official site, along with a bunch of neat goodies like signed CDs, T-shirts, phone covers and stubby holders.
Bliss N Eso last week announced House Of Dreams, their first headlining tour since 2011, which will see the boys on a 7-date trip around the country.

It's forward progress for the Roxbury girls' basketball team. The Lady Rockets held Gilboa to a single point in the fourth quarter last week Tuesday, coming from behind to edge the Wildcats 41-39. The victory was significant for the young Roxbury team, propelling the Rockets past the Wildcats into second place in the Delaware League's Mountain Division.
Roxbury's boys' basketball team took on two stiff challenges last week, going on the road to battle both of the Delaware League's division leaders. Battling for consistency, a struggle for any young basketball team, the Rockets struggled to piece together four quarters of steady play against the DL leaders, Gilboa and Davenport.
An article in the current issue of My Ford magazine has brought national attention to naturalist John Burroughs and Woodchuck Lodge, his Catskill Mountain retreat in Roxbury.
The article, which spotlights the unlikely friendship of Burroughs and industrialist Henry Ford, appears in a magazine that goes to an estimated four million Ford automobile owners. Countless more viewers can read the story online, and see a short video featuring Woodchuck Lodge Board President Bill Birns and Burroughs' great-granddaughter Joan Burroughs.

Roxbury is never going to sound the same again. The big booming voice of Bob Ackershoek has fallen silent.
Ackershoek died Friday, several days after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 62.
Ackershoek was vacationing in South Carolina when he was stricken. He had brought with him the things he loved most, Cassie Grabowski, his companion of more than 30 years, his golf clubs, and plenty of rock and roll music, undoubtedly some of it by "The Beach Boys."

After losing the nucleus of last winter's basketball team to graduation, Roxbury girls' basketball coach Lisa Faraci is busy reloading her roster for the upcoming campaign. Only three Rocket players return, leaving Faraci busy teaching Rocket offensive and defensive systems to a squad filled with new faces.
For Faraci the preseason has been special.
"We're working hard to improve each and every day," noted the Roxbury coach. These kids are so eager and working so hard. They are just eating basketball up right now."
Roxbury — Roxbury Central School will receive a $100,000 state grant to assist with construction of the Numann Technology Center, it has been announced by State Senator James Seward.
The legislative grant secured by Senator Seward (R/C/I-Oneonta) is being used to help fund the Numann Technology Center. The new media and technology center, named in honor of 1949 graduate Guy Numann, will contain state-of-the-art technology-based educational tools that will aid students, faculty and the community at-large.

Shannon Sprague is a gamer. When the soccer ball is kicked off in the center of the field or the golfers approach the first tee, Sprague puts on her game face and amps up her play. The bigger the challenge, the greater the focus and the more likely Sprague will elevate her game. Shannon Sprague competes.
Last week at the Delhi College Golf Course, Sprague lifted her golf game to new levels winning medalist honors in the Delaware League Golf Championship by shooting a personal best 87.

Faced with the daunting challenge of raising enough money to renew its broadcast license, Roxbury radio station manager Joe Piasek has asked the Roxbury Town Board, owners of the license, for permission to sell the two-year-old station to WSKG Public Radio and Television in Vestal.
WSKG and WIOX already have a relationship in which WSKG provides National Public Radio programming for the Roxbury radio station.

The Russian Default Scenario As Script For Europe's Next StepsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/22/2012 19:10 -0500
Russia and the southeast Asian countries are analogs for Greece, Spain, and Cyprus, with no particular association between their references within the timeline. The timeline runs through the Russian pain; things begin to turn around after the timeline ends. This is meant to serve as a reference point: In retrospect it was clear throughout the late-90s that Russia would default on its debt and spark financial pandemonium, yet there were cheers at many of the fake-out "solution" pivot points. The Russian issues were structural and therefore immune to halfhearted solutions--the Euro Crisis is no different. This timeline analog serves as a guide to illustrate to what extent world leaders can delay the inevitable and just how significant "black swan event" probabilities are in times of structural crisis. It seems that the next step in the unfolding Euro Crisis is for sovereigns to begin to default on their loan payments. To that effect, Greece must pay its next round of bond redemptions on August 20, and over the weekend the IMF stated that they are suspending Greece's future aid tranches due to lack of reform. August 20 might be the most important day of the entire summer and very well could turn into the credit event that breaks the camel's back.

Senate Throws The Book At HSBC Accusing It Of Massive "Money Laundering And Terrorist Financing", No Comment On NAR Money Laundering YetSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/16/2012 17:30 -0500
Just because there is already an overflow of confidence in the financial system, here comes the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee On Investigations with a 340 page report detailing how HSBC "exposed the U.S. financial system to a wide array of money laundering, drug trafficking, and terrorist financing risks due to poor anti-money laundering (AML) controls." Of course, since HSBC is one of the world's largest banks, what it did was not in any way unique, and it is quite fair to say that every other bank has the same loose anti-money "laundering" provisions. What HSBC was likely most at fault for was not providing sufficient hush money to the appropriate powers in the highest US legislative administration. But at least tomorrow we will have yet another dog and pony show, accusing that HSBC did what the NAR does every single day. Because let's not forget that the National Association of Realtors lobbied for and received a waiver for anti-money laundering provision regulations: after all how else will US real estate remain at its current elevated levels if not for the drug, blood, and fraud money from various Russian, Chinese, and petrodollar kingpins, mafia bosses and otherwise rich people who need to launder their money in the US, in the process keeping Manhattan real estate in the stratosphere? But one can't possibly pursue the real truth if it just may impair the fair value of that backbone of honest, hard-working US society: still massively overpriced housing in a world in which those who need mortgages will never get them.

Guest Post: Does Central-Bank Gold-Buying Signal The Top Is Near?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/14/2012 10:01 -0500
Central banks have added a net of 1,290 tonnes since the fourth quarter of 2008. This total excludes China and other nations that don't regularly report their activity, as well as countries that have been surreptitiously buying their own production. That's a lot of gold buying. One has to wonder whether so much buying may in fact signal a top for gold. After all, a number of prominent analysts have claimed for some time that gold is in a bubble and that it's all downhill from here. Not so fast. Like many mainstream reports, looking at the short-term picture usually leads to erroneous conclusions. Let's put central-bank purchases into historical perspective.

Guest Post: Why Spanish Social Tension Does Not Boil Over?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/07/2012 09:11 -0500
It is truly difficult to believe that social tensions may be contained indefinitely under a deteriorating economic scenario – although there is the 'frog in the pot analogy' again. There are also escape valves which surely help keep social tension from mounting such as the ongoing criminal investigation in which former Bankia chairman Rodrigo Rato and 32 members of the failed bank's board were formally cited this week as suspects of fraud, misappropriation of funds, and the falsification of financial documents; a necessary but inconceivable turn of events compared to only two months ago. Ultimately, however, unless the long-yearned European breakthrough (which nobody has managed to properly define) occurs soon and some form of economic upturn begins to be seen as within reach, there is no reason to believe that Spain's situation will improve over the next several months. If the summer turns out to be as "hot" as expected, Rajoy may at least have to revise his communication strategy and start facing the public. The cooling variables which currently work in favor of keeping society simmering in a state of fear rather than boiling with outrage may not hold the fire.

Guest Post: Learning To Laugh At the StateSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/01/2012 21:39 -0500
I'll be the first to admit the incredible aggravation I feel whenever liberty is trampled upon by the state's obedient minions. Everywhere you look, government has its gun cocked back and ready to fire at any deviation from its violently imposed rules of order. A four year old can't even open a lemonade stand without first bowing down and receiving a permit from bureaucrats obsessed with micromanaging private life. The state's stranglehold on freedom is as horrendous as it is disheartening. The worst part is that the trend shows no signs of slowing down, let alone reversing. Politicians are always developing some harebrained scheme to mold society in such a way to circumvent the individual in favor of total dictation. If it isn't politicians, then it's an army of unelected bureaucrats acting as mini-dictators.

Guest Post: The Face of "Don't Ask Questions Of The Government"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/29/2012 15:17 -0500
Journalism is about asking questions that corporations, governments and establishments don't want to answer. It's about reporting the full-story, no matter how many toes you step on. It's about opening up power to real scrutiny. And that is something that the propagandists in big media are often incapable of — which of course is why big media is slowly dying. We need to know the depth and width of Fast and Furious and the programs which preceded it: how was it authorised, how was it designed, how did it go wrong, who was to blame for it going wrong. We need to know whether or not the widely-spread allegation that the Obama administration has sold guns directly to Los Zetas is true. We need to know whether or not El Chapo and the Sinaloa Cartel are working with the DEA and the Mexican government. (Both of these allegations are widely accepted as fact in Mexico). We need to know why Obama has chosen to continue the failed drug war, even in spite of overwhelming evidence that the illegality of drugs is the very thing that empowers the criminal cartels, and in spite of the fact that Obama is a former drug user.

Guest Post: How Much To Save The Euro?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/27/2012 16:07 -0500
Germany keeps being told that it must pay up to save the euro. But how much can Germany pay? No-one seems to have thought about that, but there is already concern about the possible size of bill – German bond yields rose soon after news of the Spanish bail out, even before it was announced where the money was going to come from. (And it was of course a bail out for Spain, regardless of what Spain's prime minister says. If I borrow money and then lend it to someone else I've still borrowed it.) There is though a more basic question. How much does it make sense for Germany to pay? What sort of bill would it be reasonable to present to them? In fact the best approximation one can arrive at is a bill of zero. Why zero? What about all these exports that have been produced because Germany has a currency whose value is determined not just by Germany but also by less productive, higher cost, economies? That link has artificially depressed the prices of German exports. These net exports resulting from Germany's Eurozone membership are actually the problem.

Daily US Opening News And Market Re-Cap: June 27Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/27/2012 07:05 -0500
European equities are seen modestly higher at the midpoint of the European session, with the utilities and financials sectors leading the way higher. As such, the Bund is seen lower by around 40 ticks at the North American crossover. The closely-watched Spanish 10-yr government bond yield is seen lower on the day, trading at 6.85% last, as such, the spread between the peripheral 10-yr yields and their German counterpart has been seen tighter throughout the European morning. Issuance of 6-month bills from the Italian treasury passed by smoothly, selling EUR 9bln with a higher yield, but not an increase comparable with yesterday's auction from the Spanish treasury. The decent selling from Italy today may pave the way for tomorrow's issuance of 5- and 10-year bonds, which will be closely watched across the asset classes. Data of note has come from Germany, with the state CPIs coming in slightly higher than the previous readings, proving supportive for the expectation of national CPI to come in flat at 0.0% over the last month.

Art Cashin Warns: "Beware The Ides Of September"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/26/2012 09:11 -0500
While Europe is dominating headlines this week, UBS' Art Cashin suggests "mark your calendar and cross your fingers" as he notes the disproportionate prevalence of events that occur in September. Focusing on The Economist's Greg Ip's recent post on a possible seasonal pattern in banking crises, via this recent Reinhart & Rogoff extension paper by Laeven and Valencia, he notes: "The frequency with which the world goes to hell in September seems hardly random." Unfortunately the authors provide no explanation for this beyond observing, "An interesting pattern emerges: banking crises tend to start in the second half of the year, with large September and December effects." Ip and Cashin offer some thoughts on why this is so historically, and more importantly why this time is no different, as the avuncular Art concludes with: "try to enjoy your summer".

Student Loan Debt Meets Social Security
We bet you never thought you would see the words "student loans' and Social Security in the same sentence, but recent college grads aren't the only ones worrying about their student loans. Many people close to Social Security age are also in that boat.
Worse, if the loans are not paid before they reach retirement age, they could, and probably will have their Social Security benefits garnisheed to pay them down.
Under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 Social Security beneficiaries have a $750 cushion, but up to 15% of benefits above that line can be seized to pay down debts, including student loans.
A recent government report shows that almost a third of all student loan debt is held by people over the age of 40. Just over four percent of the total debt — roughly $42 billion — is held by people over the age of 60.
Not all of them borrowed for themselves. Many parents and grandparents cosigned loans for younger family members who defaulted and left mom and pop, or grandma and grandpa stuck with the bill.
Even so, many loans were taken directly by older students going back to school to get training for career changes made necessary by the shaky economy and job market.
