When I bought the NUGGETS boxed set (Available on Rhino: get it now!)
it got me to thinking . . .
Bubblegum and Psychedelic music had a lot in common!
If you like one, you should like the other . . .
Garages across the US but mainly the Midwest.
In both genres, most groups started in garages and were later augmented with studio musicians in the recording process. It could have been the other way around depending on your point-of-view.
Strong Psychedelic Lyrics:
Typical lyric material and matter: drugs
"Spray the weed
A zephyr breeze
A mushroom hangs above the ground"
It's A Happening
(Sonny Casella/David Rice)
The Magic Mushrooms
Comment: Any song that even remotely refers to 'Alice In Wonderland' gets my vote (honorary mention to I Am The Walrus by The Beatles and White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane)!
"I live in a purple plum mansion
In the midst of a strawberry stream
And melliferous bells ring out softly
From a hill of vanilla fudge cream"
I Enjoy Being A Boy (In Love With You)
(Joey Levine - Marc Bellack)
The Banana Splits
Comment: Get it? Vanilla Fudge? Cream? Do you have to look it up? Wit, references to another genre and "mel-lif-erous" (that's how it's spelled out on the lyric sheet) all in one verse! The Beatles should be so gifted!
Weak Psychedelic Lyrics:
Typical lyric material and matter: bad drugs
"Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win but nothin' to lose
Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah, yeah!
To divide this cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view
Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win but nothin' to lose"
Incense And Peppermints
(John Carter/Timothy Gilbert)
Strawberry Alarm Clock
Comment: What would happen if Steve Allen organized a recording session with Steve and Edie and put out a single . . .
"Peppermint leaves on lollipop trees
Just open your eyes
Come take my hand let's go for a ride
On blue butterflies
I'm so glad I'm in love with you
Stay with me and together we will share forever . . .
Love's world of Blueberry Blue"
Blueberry Blue
The Lemon Pipers
Comment: For those keeping score, the musical arrangement for this song is equally vomit-inducing.
Strong Bubblegum Lyrics:
Typical lyric material and matter: sex
"I feel depressed, I feel so bad
'Cause you're the best girl that I've ever had
I can't get your love, I can't get a fraction
Oh, little girl psychotic reaction
And it feels like this . . . ."
Psychotic Reaction
(Kenn Ellner/Roy Chaney/Byron Atkinson/John Byrne/John Michalski)
Count Five
Comment: As close as Psychedelic music ever got to discussing sex, and here it's a little rougher than Bubblegum sex -- not that there's anything wrong with that!
"Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy
And I feel like lovin' you
Love you such a sweet thing
Good enough to eat thing
And it's just what I'm gonna do
Oo, love to hold ya'
Oo, love to kiss ya'
Oo love, I love it so . . .
Oo, love ya' sweeter
Sweeter than sugar
Oo love, I won't let you go
Uh, uh, uh, uhhhh . . ."
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy
The Ohio Express
Comment: Did you think there was a better Bubblegum song to represent sex? Any other song you know with a fake orgasm? Chewy, Chewy by the Express is close though . . .
Weak Bubblegum Lyrics:
Typical lyric material and matter: bad sex
"You've got something so out-of-sight
But now you open my appetite
Girl don't say no
Don't use that word
I'll make believe
That I, I, never heard
Girl, I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
Want you bad, so be prepared
Girl, I'm gonna make you mine"
I'm Gonna Make You Mine
(Carole Bayer/William Carr/Carl D'Errico)
The Shadows of Knight
Comment: Those poor Knights; always looking in, always pleading and ever so distant. The Shadows of Knight along with their peers like The Chocolate Watchband, were forever on their way to a love-in or hatching plans to make someone somebody's girl. In sharp contrast, The Ohio Express could be found in a reflective mood -- reminiscing about what was just had. Aw, chewy, indeed.
"I want to find somebody to care
I want to catch some rice in my hair
I need love and I want you I do
I want to spend my life lovin' you
Rice is nice
That's what they say
Rice is nice
Throw some my way
Rice is nice
On any day
Twice as nice
When violins play"
Rice Is Nice
The Lemon Pipers
Comment: The glory of post-marital sex? Were these guys kidding? (Not the Pipers, just Leka and Pinz. Kidders the Pipers were not!)
Like I said: "Huh?"
"Saw a man walk upside down
My TV's on the blink
Made Galileo look like a boy scout
Sorry 'bout that
Let it all hang out"
Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)
(Bill Cunnningham/John Hunter/Jerry Masters/Gary McEwen)
The Hombres
"I don't care what they say
I'm gonna keep it anyway
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with the little white specks
I found it in a tree
Just the other day
And now it's mine-o-mine
They won't take it away"
The Little Black Egg
(Michael Stone/Chuck Conlon)
The Nightcrawlers/The Music Explosion

460th CES best in AFSPC; EM flight adds to success
460th CES best in AFSPC; EM flight adds to success

460th Space Wing Public Affairs
12/4/2012 -
BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.
-- Team Buckley is already making waves at the Air Force Space Command and 14th Air Force levels earning several annual awards.
The 460th Civil Engineer Squadron was awarded the Air Force Space Command Outstanding Civil Engineer Unit in the small-unit category along with its emergency management flight earning the Col. Frederick J. Riemer Award designating the best EM flight in AFSPC.
"We were pretty stoked," said Lt. Col. Madison Morris, 460th CES commander. "(I'm) extremely proud of the squadron."
Morris said he thought his squadron performed exceptionally throughout the year, even with being manned at only about 60 percent.
Morris's squadron is responsible for providing emergency services such as the fire department, emergency medical technicians and paramedics. They also handle hazardous materials, run the emergency operation center and take care of the base infrastructure along with several other things.
All of this success wouldn't be possible without the solid group of Airmen and civilians Morris said he has working for him.
"(Everyone) definitely focused on the core values," Morris said. "This is the sharpest group of young Airmen that I've seen at any of my bases."
Being resourceful and innovative is what Morris said he felt led to his team being the best in AFSPC.
An example of their resourcefulness happened during the summer when 55 engineers headed to the Air Force Academy to participate in training to prepare for deployments and practice carrying out their contingency engineer mission.
CES didn't have the supplies and proper surroundings to perform the training at Buckley, they used assets from F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo.; Colorado Air National Guard; Peterson Air Force Base, Colo.; Fort Carson, Colo.; and the Academy to participate in a training course for several days.
The squadron showed their innovation by being the first squadron in the Air Force to execute their installation development plan under new guidelines. The project consisted of plans for the next three to five years, along with plans for the next 20 plus years.
Morris also commended the EM flight for being the best in AFSPC.
"That flight is a small flight. They're actually smaller than all the other flights in the MAJCOM (major command)," Morris said. "They're only about 40 percent manned, yet they still pulled in best EM flight in the command."
Morris said they've earned a lot of respect from the local community for their ability to take care of business and plan for the worst.
The EM flight is primarily responsible for ensuring the base is prepared for any natural or man-made disaster. They operate the EOC and work with unit representatives, making sure they are aware of what actions to take in the event of an emergency to keep everyone safe.
"No one in this flight missed an opportunity to go above and beyond," stated Armando Argiz, Buckley AFB Office of Readiness and Emergency Management. "From the lowest rank on up, everyone worked as a team to see us through the challenging times."
Argiz stated he's very fortunate to work with superb professionals, and while the competition was intense, he felt like his shop had a strong opportunity to be the best in AFSPC.
Some actions that led to the EM flight's success were the ability to provide 263 hours worth of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive training to 446 deploying Airmen with zero discrepancies.
They also combined four unit EM programs into one, to eliminate redundancy and save 108 work hours a year.

Does Microsoft have some Orwellian plans for the Xbox 360 Kinect? A patent filed by the company last year, which was recently made public, seems to indicate that it might.
The patent application, which was titled "CONTENT DISTRIBUTION REGULATION BY VIEWING USER" allows distribution companies to monitor user media usage and charge users when they allow more than an agreed upon number of users to view content.
Here is how it works. Distributors send their material to consumption devices including televisions, set-top boxes and digital displays. Their content comes with an associate license option that allows for a per-user viewing option. When this option is selected, the the number of viewers in a room would be monitored via a monitoring device such as a webcam or Kinect so that charges could be issued accordingly.
The patent application explains:
The technology, briefly described, is a content presentation system and method allowing content providers to regulate the presentation of content on a per-user-view basis. Content is distributed to consuming devices, such as televisions, set-top boxes and digital displays, with an associated license option on the number of individual consumers or viewers allowed to consume the content. The limitation may comprise a number of user views, a number of user views over time, a number of simultaneous user views, views tied to user identities, views limited to user age or any variation or combination thereof, all tied to the number of actual content consumers allowed to view the content. Consumers are presented with a content selection and a choice of licenses allowing consumption of the content. In one embodiment, a license manager on the consuming device or on a content providers system manages license usage and content consumption. The users consuming the content on a display device are monitored so that if the number of user-views licensed is exceeded, remedial action may be taken.
A deeper look at the patent application reveals a good deal of information that would seem to suggest that Microsoft is serious about using the Kinect for the task of user monitoring:
The capture device 58 may include one or more image sensors for capturing images and videos. An image sensor may comprise a CCD image sensor or a CMOS sensor. In some embodiments, capture device 58 may include an IR CMOS image sensor. The capture device 58 may also include a depth camera (or depth sensing camera) configured to capture video with depth information including a depth image that may include depth values via any suitable technique including, for example, time-of-flight, structured light, stereo image, or the like.
The following paragraph seems to be referring to very Kinect-esque technology:
he image camera component 32 may include an IR light component 34, a three-dimensional (3-D) camera 36, and an RGB camera 38 that may be used to capture the depth image of a capture area. For example, in time-of-flight analysis, the IR light component 34 of the capture device 58 may emit an infrared light onto the capture area and may then use sensors to detect the backscattered light from the surface of one or more targets and objects in the capture area using, for example, the 3-D camera 36 and/or the RGB camera 38. In some embodiments, pulsed infrared light may be used such that the time between an outgoing light pulse and a corresponding incoming light pulse may be measured and used to determine a physical distance from the capture device 58 to a particular location on the targets or objects in the capture area. Additionally, the phase of the outgoing light wave may be compared to the phase of the incoming light wave to determine a phase shift. The phase shift may then be used to determine a physical distance from the capture device to a particular location on the targets or objects.
The next line leaves little in doubt:
In another example, the capture device 58 may use structured light to capture depth information. In such an analysis, patterned light (i.e., light displayed as a known pattern such as grid pattern or a stripe pattern) may be projected onto the capture area via, for example, the IR light component 34. Upon striking the surface of one or more targets (or objects) in the capture area, the pattern may become deformed in response. Such a deformation of the pattern may be captured by, for example, the 3-D camera 36 and/or the RGB camera 38 and analyzed to determine a physical distance from the capture device to a particular location on the targets or objects.
However, it would seem that Microsoft also leaves the door open for other types of capture devices:
In some embodiments, two or more different cameras may be incorporated into an integrated capture device. For example, a depth camera and a video camera (e.g., an RGB video camera) may be incorporated into a common capture device. In some embodiments, two or more separate capture devices of the same or differing types may be cooperatively used. For example, a depth camera and a separate video camera may be used, two video cameras may be used, two depth cameras may be used, two RGB cameras may be used or any combination and number of cameras may be used. In one embodiment, the capture device 58 may include two or more physically separated cameras that may view a capture area from different angles to obtain visual stereo data that may be resolved to generate depth information. Depth may also be determined by capturing images using a plurality of detectors that may be monochromatic, infrared, RGB, or any other type of detector and performing a parallax calculation. Other types of depth image sensors can also be used to create a depth image.
The patent also covers the monitoring of users via microphone
As shown in FIG. 7, capture device 58 may include a microphone 40. The microphone 40 may include a transducer or sensor that may receive and convert sound into an electrical signal. In one embodiment, the microphone 40 may be used to reduce feedback between the capture device 20 and the computing environment 54. Additionally, the microphone 40 may be used to receive audio signals that may also be provided by the user to control applications such as life recording applications or the like that may be executed by the computing environment 54.
Obviously, it would seem that the Kinect would be the device of choice as it is able to perform most, if not all, of the required tasks right out of the box – but it is worth noting that the patent leaves a lot of doors open and the system could use motion capture devices (webcams for example) just as easily as it could be use the Kinect. The section of the patent devoted to processing is a little more revealing:
The capture device 58 may be in communication with the computing environment 54 via a communication link 46. The communication link 46 may be a wired connection including, for example, a USB connection, a FireWire connection, an Ethernet cable connection, or the like and/or a wireless connection such as a wireless 802.11b, g, a, or n connection. The computing environment 54 may provide a clock to the capture device 58 that may be used to determine when to capture, for example, a scene via the communication link 46. In one embodiment, the capture device 58 may provide the images captured by, for example, the 3-D camera 36 and/or the RGB camera 38 to the computing environment 54 via the communication link 46.
[0062] As shown in FIG. 7, computing environment 612 includes image and audio processing engine 194 in communication with operating system 196. Image and audio processing engine 194 includes gesture recognizer engine 190, structure data 198, processing unit 191, and memory unit 192, all in communication with each other. Image and audio processing engine 194 processes video, image, and audio data received from capture device 58. To assist in the detection and/or tracking of objects, image and audio processing engine 194 may utilize structure data 198 and gesture recognition engine 190.
[0063] Processing unit 191 may include one or more processors for executing object, facial, and voice recognition algorithms. In one embodiment, image and audio processing engine 194 may apply object recognition and facial recognition techniques to image or video data. For example, object recognition may be used to detect particular objects (e.g., soccer balls, cars, or landmarks) and facial recognition may be used to detect the face of a particular person. Image and audio processing engine 194 may apply audio and voice recognition techniques to audio data. For example, audio recognition may be used to detect a particular sound. The particular faces, voices, sounds, and objects to be detected may be stored in one or more memories contained in memory unit 192.
To me, it all sound more than a little creepy and is a timely reminder to keep checking the fine print in terms of service agreements. When something costs less, it may have other strings attached.
Obviously Microsoft aims to take a hands-off approach with this technology. They want the people's equipment, rather than live humans, to monitor users – if they are aware of the consequences that come with cheaper content, so be it. The problem for me is that it gets people too used to seeing that little light that tells them that their device is recording – so when it is on when it shouldn't be, people are far less likely take notice.

Pearl Jam's McCready On Favorite Sports, Favorite Songs
June 25, 2013 5:06 PM
Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready is going to be jamming out at the Safe this Friday. He's playing the Star Spangled Banner to raise money for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, which is an important cause for him because he suffers from the disease. On our sister station 1090 The Fan, McCready talked about why he's such a huge sports fan and why musicians and professional athletes really aren't that different.
Check out the whole interview:
And for you Pearl Jammers who missed Lee Callahan's interview with Mike earlier this year, feast your ears on this:

Low-Speed Mode
With the Low-speed mode for diesel Volvo Penta IPS and inboard shaft installations (D3-D13) you can control your boat from almost standstill up to full speed with the same lever. This will help you during docking in tight marinas, when you are trying to catch the big fish or when you are driving in inland waterways. With this function you control the boat's speed with the throttle/gear lever. In the first 12 degrees of the lever movement after engaging the gear, the engine will remain at idle and the boat's speed is reduced by a slip in the transmission. The slip is from 50% to full engagement and when you push the lever further, the gearbox is fully engaged. The throttle is increased and you can control the speed with the engine rpm.
The main benefits of the Low-speed mode
Full drivability and increased operator control at reduced boat speed.
More time for maneuvers and corrections.
Focus on operating and maneuvering.
Takes out the stress factor when docking operating in tight spaces.
Considerate to the surrounding environment.
Adjust the angles and slip
Your Volvo Penta dealer can, using a Vodia tool, help you adjust both angles where you control the clutch and the slip reduction from minimum 25% to maximum 75%. This function gives you improved maneuverability, through low speed, controlled with one lever.
A Volvo Penta EVC accessory
Low-speed Mode is one of several smart EVC accessories that make boating easier and more environmentally friendly. Developed, designed and serviced by Volvo Penta, all EVC accessories are perfectly matched with your Volvo Penta engine.
The Low-speed mode is integrated in the standard controls and gives smooth control from very low speed to full speed.

The SNP said the credibility of the anti-independence campaign had been dealt a serious blow after it was revealed they been committing a criminal offence by gathering information on thousands of voters without registering to do so.
The breach of data protection laws was revealed in today's Sunday Herald (23/9/12), and could theoretically result in the prosecution of its Directors including former Chancellor Alistair Darling.
The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) commented "It may be sloppy paperwork but it's still a criminal offence."
"It's a criminal offence not to notify the ICO. They [the anti-independence campaign] contacted us on July 30, confirming they needed to notify. They were sent out a pack. They need to fill in those forms and get them back to us as soon as possible. It's a criminal offence. They should have notified. They haven't done so so far."
Commenting, SNP referendum campaign co-ordinator Angus Robertson said:
"This is a serious blow to the credibility of the No campaign, from which it will struggle to recover. We now know that - whether due to staggering complacency or incompetence - it has been engaged in illegal activity since its launch.
"As a director of Better Together, Alistair Darling along with its other board members bears personal responsibility for the No campaign's failure to comply with data protection law - an extraordinary position for the former Chancellor to find himself in. If Better Together cannot run a campaign without breaking the law, why on earth should anyone take them seriously on the issue of Scotland's constitutional future?
"The law must take its course and be applied. In the meantime, Mr Darling must make an immediate statement confirming that the No campaign will destroy the data which it has been unlawfully gathering over the past few months - and which it may well have shared with the Tory, Labour and Lib Dem parties.
"The three anti-independence parties have serious questions to answer about how they have found themselves in the position of ganging up together in an organisation which has been caught operating outside the law."

Former friend testifies against man accused of killing Oxnard businessman outside bank
Testimony details alleged Oxnard robbery plans
A man who said he knew about a plan to rob a businessman in front of an Oxnard bank five years ago testified Friday that his former friend and fellow gang member was the shooter.
Wearing his county jail blue and orange garb, Mario Cervantes, 30, testified for the prosecution against Jeffrey Aguilar and detailed events that led to the shooting death of Gurmohinder Singh on the morning of Aug. 16, 2008.
Prosecutors allege Aguilar, 27, shot Singh in front of the US Bank in Oxnard and took $100,000 the 55-year-old man was carrying. Prosecutors said Aguilar targeted Singh, who owned a check-cashing and convenience store business and was a regular customer at the bank.
The day before the slaying, Cervantes testified, he and Aguilar sat in front of the US Bank and waited in his car as Aguilar's aunt, Maria Lissette Bucio, identified Singh.
Bucio, a regular customer at the bank who also owned a check-cashing business, knew Singh and was the only connection between Aguilar and the businessman, prosecutors said. Bucio was convicted in 2011 of first-degree murder and second-degree robbery and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Cervantes said he and Aguilar sat for about 45 minutes before Aguilar unveiled his plans to rob Singh. Cervantes said he asked Aguilar why he wanted to rob someone, especially in broad daylight.
"(Aguilar) didn't have a job ... had no money, and Oxnard cops were always messing with him," Cervantes testified.
Shortly after leaving the bank, Cervantes said, Aguilar asked him to pick up his girlfriend, Christina Deleon. The trio then returned to the area surrounding the bank.
Cervantes said Aguilar instructed Deleon to serve as his getaway driver and park her car the next morning at an apartment garage behind the bank alley.
That was also when Aguilar told Cervantes that he needed a favor, Cervantes said. Aguilar asked him to create a diversion and "peel out" of the alley with his car after Aguilar completed the robbery, Cervantes testified.
Cervantes said Aguilar laughed as he contemplated whether to shoot Singh.
"(Aguilar) said, 'You know what, I'm not going to shoot him. If he don't give me the money, then I will just let him have it,' " Cervantes testified.
When Aguilar called him early in the morning on Aug. 16, 2008, Cervantes told him he decided not to get involved in the robbery, he testified. Nevertheless, Cervantes said, he decided to go to a fast-food restaurant near the bank with his son in tow.
"He knew I wasn't going to put my son at risk in this type of situation," Cervantes said.
From the restaurant, Cervantes said, he saw Aguilar in front of the bank's ATM, wearing his red and blue soccer jersey and a cap.
Cervantes said he quickly left the area. A few minutes after he drove away, he saw police and an ambulance rushing toward the shopping center.
"I just knew something had happened," Cervantes said. "(Aguilar) had done what he had to do."
Cervantes said that shortly later, he received a call from Aguilar, who said, "Did you see that? ... Hey, fool, I'm inside the (car) trunk right now."
"He sounded kind of happy," Cervantes testified. He said Aguilar would later tell him to keep quiet and gave him $1,000.
Aguilar is charged with murder by means of lying in wait, murder while engaging in a robbery and other special enhancements. If guilty, he could get the death penalty.
Cervantes is charged with murder and second-degree robbery but could face lesser charges of involuntary manslaughter and second-degree robbery because of his testimony in Aguilar's case. He still could face up to 22 years in prison.
Cervantes said he knew Aguilar from their involvement in the Colonia Chiques gang. He said he first lied to police or refused to answer questions because he wanted to protect Aguilar.
Asked by prosecutor Andrea Tischler if he was uneasy or felt intimidated about testifying, he said yes. Cervantes said he noticed Aguilar smirking and smiling at him as he testified.

Stemmers Run Survey
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Stemmers Run
Like many other fisherman I am already suffering from the effects of cabin fever and find myself daydreaming of fishing trips past and trips to come. In the past few years I have fished Stemmers Run Lake a few times and even though it is tough to get into, it was a fun lake to fish. I was wondering if the DNR has conducted any surveys on the lake in the past few years and if the results are accessible by the public?
DNR Response:Thank you for your interest in fishing Stemmers Run Reservoir. We complete surveys of Stemmers Run on a rotational basis, usually every 2-3 years. It was completed this past fall, however the report is currently going through a final edit. I would be happy to send you the report when the edits are complete. In the meantime, allow me to give you the short-version.
Stemmers Run can and has produced some great fishing at times, however future fishing success is dictated by successful reproduction of bass and bluegill. As you know, the Reservoir is very shallow for the most part and VERY muddy. We are fairly certain that the excess sediment is a key factor limiting reproduction of both species, however there is little we can do about it. As a result of this, the Reservoir tends to have boom and bust fishing periods. Unfortunately, poor reproduction the last 2 years looks to be causing bass populations to be much lower than when we did our last survey. We began supplemental stocking last fall, but those fish will be small for another year or two. Additional stocking is scheduled for 2013. However, do not let me discourage you from fishing. We did still encounter bass in our survey, and some were quite large. I have attached a length-frequency distribution of largemouth bass we collected in our survey. One bass was near 8 pounds! Of course, there are lots of crappies in the Reservoir as well, but most that we saw last fall were smaller than in the past.Dont forget to get your entry permit from the Wildlife office in Gwynnbrook (410-356-9272) before using the area!

In your most awesome "Random act of kindness" story of the day, Matt Duchene recently spent $2,000 on a signed Bruins jersey for a young B's fan who had been enduring bullies at school.
Eleven-year old Trista Greer is from Ontario, but has developed a love for the Boston Bruins. It's one of the many things that she has been picked on for by her middle school peers. With bullies at school keeping her spirits low, Trista's father, Wayde, wanted to do something to cheer her up.
When Wayde found out that the charity golf tournament he would be attending to benefit Minden, Ontario – a town that was affected by severe flooding earlier this year – would have an auction that included a Bruins jersey signed by several of the team's players, he successfully pooled $500 to try and win the jersey for his daughter.
Unfortunately, when the bidding for the jersey started rising above Wayde's budget, he realized he could no longer win. Or could he?
Enter: Matt Duchene.
The 22-year old Colorado Avalanche star was also in attendance at the golf tournament, and just happened to be sitting at Wayde's table during the auction. After talking to Wayde and hearing Trista's story, Duchene told the girl's father, "Get it for her. I've got you covered."
As the bids kept going up, Wayde kept looking at Duchene, who told him to keep bidding. Once the price hit $1,600, Duchene held up two fingers – signaling a $2,000 bid – and the jersey was won.
Thanks to Duchene, Wayde was able to give Trista the jersey, complete with a "happy birthday" note from the Avalanche star.
Certainly looks like she enjoyed it. Take that, bullies.

''Radio Flyer'' is a 1992 drama-fantasy film directed by Creator/RichardDonner.
An adult named Mike (Creator/TomHanks) is observing his two sons fighting; with one insisting that a promise doesn't mean anything. To make them understand that a promise does mean something, he tells them the story of his youth. Young Mike (Creator/ElijahWood), his little brother Bobby (Creator/JosephMazzello), their mother Mary (Creator/LorraineBracco) and their German Shepherd Shane move to a new town after their father/husband leaves them. There, Mary marries a new man (Creator/AdamBaldwin), who likes the others to call him "The King". Unbeknowst to Mary, The King is an alcoholic who often gets drunk and beats Bobby. The two boys, seeing that their mother has found happiness at last with The King, are reluctant to tell either her or the police about the abuse. They instead try to avoid The King by exploring and having adventures in amidst the local environs. In the process, the two concoct a plan for Bobby to escape The King once and for all. Inspired by the urban legend of a boy named Fisher who attempted to fly away on his bicycle, the two convert their epononymous Radio Flyer toy wagon into an airplane. [[spoiler:With it, Bobby flies away. Though Mike never sees him again, he continues to receive postcards from him from places all over the world.]]
Very much may your mileage vary in regards to this film. On one hand, you may find it a [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]] [[{{Tearjerker}} tearjerker]]. On the other hand, however, you may find it (and indeed, at the time of its release, many such as Creator/RogerEbert and Leonard Maltin found it) [[Main/{{Glurge}} a bit immoral]] for suggesting that all a child needs to do to escape abuse is construct a rickety little toy airplane out of a red wagon and stuff from a junkyard -- which obviously is impossible in real life. Because of the nebulous conclusion, a few people have concocted theories regarding that Bobby [[spoiler:doesn't actually fly away at the end]]. One such theory is that Mike was the actual recipent of the abuse and that Bobby was just a psychological projection, ala ''Film/FightClub'', whom he used to disassociate himself from it, and that [[spoiler: he "flew away" once The King was arrested because Mike no longer had any need of him]]. Another theory is that Bobby [[spoiler: actually perished, and that Mike repressed this memory and constructed a false but bearable one]]. However, [[WordOfGod director Richard Donner has denied all these theories]].
!!This film provides examples of:
* [[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent]]
* AdultsAreUseless: Played straight with the mother; she seems oblivious about The King's abuse of her children, and once she realizes what has happened, she reconciles with The King anyway. However, the sheriff knows something is amiss, and in two of his three appearances intervenes on the brothers' behalf. Also, the kids ''are'' actively trying to conceal the abuse.
* TheAlcoholic: The King.
* AnAesop: About keeping promises, no matter what. Although YMMV as to how family-friendly this is, given the context.
* ArcSymbol: Airplanes and various other flying craft.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When The King reads Mikey's note, he is angry as he told them to stay off the hill, completely missing the ominous message which could easily lead an outsider to think Bobby intended to kill himself.
* DisappearedDad: The boys' real father.
* DistantPrologue: The Fisher story.
* DisturbedDoves: A flock of these takes off when The King gives Bobby the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that leads to his arrest.
* DreamSequence: The dream of the buffalo.
* EasilyForgiven: Mary does this to The King. Sadly, can be TruthInTelevision.
* TheFaceless: The King. Believed to be because Adam Baldwin didn't want his face associated with child abuse, but could also be the director's way of portraying The King as an almost mythic figure.
* FramingDevice: Adult Mike is telling his kids the story of his childhood.
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Subverted. At one point, Mikey has a choice: to stay with Bobby or to play football with Victor and his gang. Given that he wants to fit in, he goes with the gang, leaving his brother to his own devices. The result is that the football game is actually an ambush, which Mikey ends up overcoming, only to come home and find that his brother was put in the hospital by The King. He realizes he should have stayed with Bobby.
* GangOfBullies: Victor's Gang.
* GoryDiscretionShot: Twice: during onstage abuse of Bobby, the camera cuts away -- to Mikey the first time, and to a flock of DisturbedDoves the second.
* GroinAttack: Mikey gives one to Victor, winning the fight.
* GrowingUpSucks: At age 13, one loses the "seven great abilities".
* HarmfulToMinors: Bobby's abuse by The King...and what he does to escape it.
* ICallItVera: Old Trusty, the cord The King uses to beat Bobby.
* IGaveMyWord: An important theme in the story -- mainly, the reason Mikey doesn't tell anyone about the abuse.
* ItWasAGift: The eponymous wagon.
* KickTheDog: / TheDogBitesBack: Two examples of the former side by side. One is literal as The King abuses Shane when Bobby and Mike aren't around. The other is when he starts hurting Mike while he tries to start the plane. [[spoiler: [[BigDamnHeroes Shane]] [[LaserGuidedKarma bit]] back ]] during the second kicking.
* {{Jossed}}: WordOfGod denies the presence of AlternativeCharacterInterpretation or an UnreliableNarrator.
* JustPlaneWrong: No way could the souped-up Radio Flyer fly in real life. (In his review, Creator/RogerEbert saw the whole business as a case of MortonsFork -- it would be horrible to see it fail and kill the kid, but worse for it to succeed because it would suggest to ''real'' kids that they could use fantastic devices to escape their problems.)
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Quoted nearly word for word by Fisher's friends during the prologue.
* NeverSayDie: The "Is he...?" variant is used with Fisher.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: The King gives one of these to Bobby as Victor's gang is giving one of these to Mikey.
* KickTheDog: The King almost kills Shane at one point.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Or at least, very gullible. Mary is quick to swallow The King's very transparent lies and empty promises.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The King. You have to pay careful attention to realize his name is Jack [=MacKenzie=].
* PinkySwear
* PlotParallel: The beatings of Mikey and Bobby, by Victor's gang and The King, respectively.
* ProductPlacement: Naturally; Radio Flyer is a brand name of a real life little red wagon.
* RubeGoldbergDevice: Regardless of what [[http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9E0CEEDF1E3EF932A15751C0A964958260 some reviewers]] said, this trope is actually inverted. Despite the work the boys put into fixing up the Radio Flyer, it is ''under''-engineered, as far as actual flight is concerned.
* RuleOfCool: The only way the plot to escape The King is able to work.
* RuleOfSeven: The seven great abilities and fascinations of childhood.
* SirSwearsALot: The King.
* SmugSnake: The King, after the boys discover what he did to Shane.
* SpiritAdvisor: The buffalo plays this role, sort of, to Mikey.
* {{Tearjerker}}: So, so many. The beatings, Shane's death [[spoiler:until it's revealed he's alive]], and Bobby's departure.
* TitleDrop: Of course.
* UnreliableNarrator: The adult Mike may well be this. Indeed, at the end he says to his own sons: "''Now do you understand what I mean about history being in the mind of the teller?''"
* WagTheDirector: Possibly. One explanation for The King being TheFaceless is that Baldwin refused to have his face associated with child abuse.
* WhenItAllBegan: The Fisher story.
* [[WickedStepmother Wicked Stepfather]]

SUWANEE -- A domestic clash escalated to a fatal stabbing Sunday in a crowded Wal-Mart parking lot in Suwanee -- a killing and attempted suicide the married couple's children likely bore witness to, police said.
The incident outside the 3245 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road retailer left one woman dead and her estranged husband jailed. It marks a rare homicide investigation by Suwanee police.
Police said Shelley Dunn, 27, of Buford, met her husband Phillip Dunn, 28, of Lawrenceville, in the parking lot to swap custody of their daughters, ages 6 and 8. The location served as a halfway point between their residences.
About 4 p.m., the pair began arguing outside Phillip Dunn's truck. He allegedly stabbed his wife before knifing himself in the area of his abdomen and chest, said Suwanee police Capt. Cass Mooney.
Police are unsure who'd brought the knife or what prompted the argument.
The couple were transported to Gwinnett Medical Center, where Shelley Dunn was later pronounced dead.
Phillip Dunn was released from the hospital Sunday night and arrested on charges of felony murder and malice murder, Mooney said. He remains at the Gwinnett County Jail without bond.
"I don't believe he's spoken to investigators," Mooney said Monday. "I don't believe we have any information as far as what started the argument."
The children, who remained in the truck during the altercation, have been turned over to family members, Mooney said.
The killing is the city of Suwanee's first homicide in three years, since a woman's body turned up behind a motel in January 2007. An Illinois truck driver admitted to the slaying, along with murders in five other states.
Prior to that, Suwanee police hadn't worked a homicide since 1965.
The case marks the second time in a week that a husband-wife clash has become fatal in public, following a murder-suicide outside a Lawrenceville cinema Tuesday.

- Grades 3 to 5
In Our Backyard: Inspiring Pennsylvania Artists: This imaginative program uses "mystery" bags as a starting point for discovering the lives and works of eight Pennsylvania artists. Students will match the artists with their work and discuss how artists are influenced and inspired by their surroundings and life experiences.
Frank Lloyd Wright: The Man, Message & Medium: Students will begin by comparing and contrasting the Victorian style, popular at the time, with Wright's modernist ideals. A primary focus of discussion is Wright's love of nature and geometric shape and how he integrated those inspirations into his artful designs.
- Grades K to 12
Visiting Artist Program: This innovative outreach program brings a professional visual artist into your classroom to inspire and interact with your class. During this program, students will work closely with the artist to complete their own unique works of art using similar materials and techniques used by the artist.

You know something? How about you suggest that to God? I don't think He'll quite agree with that, but... Anyways, in order to get to Heaven here's all you need to do: believe (TRUELY believe with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength) that Jesus is God's son and that Jesus was raised from the dead on the 3rd day and that He died for all of our sins to be forgiven. If you believe that, then don't worry about going to hell!

That's a lie that many people believe, that Hell is simply a party place that you will go to hang out with your friends and Satan, but believe me it's not. In fact, it will be so dark, you will never even see any of your friends for the rest of eternity:
Mat 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Here are some other verses about the reality of Hell:

Hopefully I can answer some of your questions..
The whole 'heaven/hell idea' as you call it must exist if God does. Otherwise there would be absolutely be no point in his existence. The whole reason Jesus came was to save us from eternal damnation in hell. Thus, if God exists, Heaven and Hell do as well. As far as the 'system' is concerned, God made it easy! And the argument isn't wether you're a good or bad person, its wether you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior that... (more »)

Well, first of all, I never asked any questions and second, you're repeating exactly what I said. There is no good in human kind, only evil. The only way to be looked upon by God as righteous or good is to have recieved Jesus as your personal Savior from sin. If you have not, you're looked upon as a wretched sinner damned for Hell.
If God wanted to, He could have simply destroyed all mankind and started fresh, once Adam and Eve had sinned. But He didn't. Because even as wretched sinner... (more »)

New JSON format for the Google Calendar API
Wednesday, September 29, 2010 | 4:55 PM
Labels: Developers, Google Calendar API, googlenew
It's been almost four years since the Calendar API has supported the JSON format. However, our existing JSON format isn't perfect. It is very much an automatic translation from our Atom format and as a result it is very wordy and lacks the elegance that a native JSON dialect would offer. It also supports only read operations.
We have made our new JSON implementation cleaner, simpler and closer to what you would expect from JSON. For example, the long XML namespace prefixes are no more, and we've removed many pieces of metadata specific to Atom documents that come across as noise in JSON, making it easier to parse.
We're calling this new format JSON-C. One of the major advantages of the JSON-C format, besides being read-write and more readable than the former JSON implementation, is that it is more compact than the Atom based format. Below is an example:
Creating an event using JSON-C
POST /calendar/feeds/default/private/full HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com
Authorization: ...
Content-Type: application/json
GData-Version: 2.0
Content-Length: 233
"data": {
"title": "Tennis with Beth",
"details": "Meet for a quick lesson.",
"transparency": "opaque",
"status": "confirmed",
"location": "Rolling Lawn Courts",
"when": [
"start": "2010-04-17T15:00:00.000Z",
"end": "2010-04-17T17:00:00.000Z"
Creating an event using Atom
POST /calendar/feeds/default/private/full HTTP/1.1In the example above the body of the request is 59% smaller in JSON-C than in Atom. If you use gzip compression, the saving is still 37% of the size of the Atom body. This could make a big difference in mobile or other bandwidth-constrained environments.
Host: www.google.com
Authorization: ...
Content-Type: application/atom+xml
GData-Version: 2.0
Content-Length: 571
<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'>
<category scheme='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind'
<title type='text'>Tennis with Beth</title>
<content type='text'>Meet for a quick lesson.</content>
<gd:transparency value='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.opaque'/>
<gd:eventStatus value='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.confirmed'/>
<gd:where valueString='Rolling Lawn Courts'/>
<gd:when startTime='2006-04-17T15:00:00.000Z' endTime='2006-04-17T17:00:00.000Z'/>
To retrieve events or other data in the JSON-C format, you have to specify the 'alt' URL parameter with the value 'jsonc' as shown below:
Requesting an event in JSON-C
GET /calendar/feeds/default/private/full/1234567890?alt=jsonc HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com
Authorization: ...
GData-Version: 2.0
HTTP/1.1 200 OKFor the request above, the body of the response is 53% smaller in JSON-C than in Atom - 30% smaller when using gzip compression.
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
"apiVersion": "2.3",
"data": {
"title": "Tennis with Beth",
"details": "Meet for a quick lesson.",
"location": "Rolling Lawn Courts",

This year's Alzheimer's Association International Conference drew 4,000 attendees to Washington, D.C., where they soaked up everything from advances in human imaging and diagnostics to the latest clinical trial results. While the latter brought no surprises, scientists shared plenty of interesting preclinical data as well, among them a massive combination trial of two anti-Aβ therapies and research that shows that aerobic exercise preserves cognitive function even in people who are already impaired.

Watertown officials are projecting costs for renovations to accommodate a second City Court judge in City Hall could exceed $1.5 million.
City Engineer Kurt W. Hauk outlined preliminary plans for the first-floor renovations to the Watertown City Council during a work session Monday night.
Judge Catherine J. Palermo will become Watertowns second full-time judge after Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation Dec. 19 to increase the number of full-time city judges across the state. The state Legislature passed the measure last spring.
The required renovations include converting some court office space into a second courtroom; adding judge chambers and an office for another court clerk; relocating office space in another part of the court complex, and creating space for a secure prisoner holding area at the back of the building, Mr. Hauk said.
The actual costs could change, depending on the amount of asbestos removal and how much ductwork and piping is found once construction begins, Mr. Hauk said.
But he told council members the situation could have been worse.
We dont have to do the gutting of the first floor that we first thought, he said.
Some of the space once was occupied by the citys police department, including prisoner cells and the old police chiefs office. As required by the state, the second courtroom must be at least 1,200 square feet.
The city is required to pay for the renovations, while the state Office of Court Administration is responsible for judge and court staff salaries.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham stressed that the city had no say in creating the second judgeship and has little leeway in the amenities to accommodate the second judge.
As long as work must be done, the city also may construct an 800-square-foot prisoner access ramp at the back of City Hall, a project that the police department proposed several years ago but never completed but the state does not require.
During a meeting last week at City Hall, the court administration said it wants city officials to submit the preliminary plans by the end of next month. The court administration must approve the final project design, which most likely would be completed by a consultant with expertise in those kinds of projects, Mr. Hauk said.
On Monday night, Mr. Hauk could not provide a timeline for when the renovations would start or when they must be completed.
Judge Eugene R. Renzi, the other full-time city magistrate, is an elected official. But Ms. Palermos position is an appointed one. The city may seek home rule from the state Legislature to approve the second judge as an elected position for the 10-year term.
Ms. Palermos full-time status becomes effective April 1; her term ends in 2018.
City Council members appointed Judge Palermo in January 2012, when City Judge James C. Harberson retired. She replaced Judge Renzi after he was elected to the full-time position in November 2011.
City courts around the state have been handling an increasing number of cases each year, putting pressure on judges and creating a backlog of litigation. Now that there is a second full-time judge, more civil and small-claims cases can be handled in City Court, Mr. Graham said.

The X-Files: I Want To Believe has a rough opening
I didn't think going into the weekend that the new X-Files movie (see Cinematical's review) had much of a shot at opening at number one. After the opening that the new Batman enjoyed the previous weekend, it was going to be a tough mountain to climb. That being said, I didn't think number two was an overly ambitious goal. And number three would have been a bit surprising. But number four and $10.2 million? Yikes.
As expected, The Dark Knight once again topped the box office with the biggest second weekend on record. Surprisingly though, Mulder and Scully also trailed Step Brothers and the second week of Mama Mia. The B word is already being tossed around, understandably so. Despite that, studio executives are standing by to assure everyone that with foreign box office and DVD the movie will still turn a profit. That's all well and good, but I don't think anyone should be getting their hopes up for round three any time soon.
