David Byrne: Intellectually admirable, emotionally stunted
David Byrne
Luaka Bop/Warner Bros.
AS EGGHEADS GO, David Byrne nearly always arrives sunnyside up, and very runny. From the beginning, back when he was writing playful romps like "Psycho Killer," Byrne has made a display of despair that is more mordant satire than alienated anger. Celebrating worries with a jittery, cerebral angst, he was the new-wave medium for punk's visceral rage, decoding nihilism with flippant turns of phrase that carefully steered away from any truly messy shit of his own. Over the years, as he has added African and Latin musical tourism to his performance-art voyeurism, Byrne has defined himself as an intellectually admirable but emotionally stunted artist, a master of montage and a commander of high concepts that enthrall listeners with cleverness while yielding few insights into his personal angels and demons.
Feelings captures this joyful slickness as well as anything Byrne has ever done. The title harkens back (no doubt intentionally) to the sanctimonious ballad covered by so many motel lounge acts during the '70s, and the accompanying artwork features a series of plastic David Byrne dolls plus a "David Byrne mood computer," to help create your own emotional distance. In the press kit, the artist refers to "a subconscious cut-and-paste going on in our heads that doesn't seem strange at all" as the album's postmodern everyman ethos. His primary collaborators are the members of Morcheeba, a London-based trip-hop folk group whose debut last year, Who Can You Trust?, was likewise a stylistically sprawling set of atmospheric moods ingrained with hip allusions and inside jokes. The members of Devo, those masters of dumb irony, also stop by for a tune.
Thus, even by Byrne's own loose standards, Feelings is a scattershot assortment of dedicated whims that nip, lick, and growl like a puppy dog, an engaging diversion that's ultimately less than the sum of its parts. Byrne being Byrne, many of the parts are very cool. "Daddy Go Down" sounds vaguely Middle Eastern, then overtly Irish: a heavy, chugging rhythm that Byrne's vocal paints with a mournful, white-gospel tint, at least until a keening violin quickens into a fiddle and veers it in and out of hoedown territory. By contrast, "Dance On Vaseline" is classic Talking Heads funk in the vein of "Slippery People" and "Stay Up Late," neatly bisected by a clarion trumpet solo. There are gorgeous textures galore, from the Brazilian brass and percussion of "Miss America" to the Hawaiian guitar in "You Don't Know Me" to the church-organ intro of "The Gates of Paradise."
But musically and emotionally, Byrne is too shifty for anything to register for long. It's actually a welcome relief when he reduces himself to more obvious satire, as when "Miss America" riffs on the same metaphor of beauty queen and Yankee imperialist. Too many other tracks are like "A Soft Seduction," in which Byrne croons convincingly about the seemingly random life-and-death luck of the draw ("a junkie's song/a dancer's knees..."), while in the background a harmonica warbles like it's a campfire scene in a western B movie (later in the tune, a solitary whistle is used for the same effect). The question we're supposed to ask: Is this campy or sincere? No doubt Byrne enjoys the flexibility of that ambiguity, and we all do, some of the time. But inevitably the whole starts to fray and fall apart. That's how David Byrne, ever the immaculate cut-up, outsmarts himself.

My Postmodernism. (My '80S)
Bordowitz, Gregg, Artforum International
FILMMAKER AND ACTIVIST Gregg Bordowitz's passage through the 1980s mirrors the course of AIDS activism in that decade. From the very first ACT up demonstration in New York to the triumphal storming of the FDA headquarters outside Washington, DC, he deployed his art in the battle against AIDS. Bordowitz leads off this two-issue series of personal chronicles of the decade, recounting his experiences as an activist and guerrilla filmmaker at the forefront of the fight.
Art does have the power to save lives, and it is this very power that must be recognized, fostered, and supported in every way possible.
Douglas Crimp, introduction to AIDS: Cultural Analysis/Cultural Activism (MIT Press, 1988)
When Ronald Reagan was elected president, I was sixteen years old, living in Coram, Long Island. A smart faggy teen, I spent every possible minute drawing and painting in the art rooms of Longwood High School. I loved Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol. I listened to an eclectic mix of music, including Miles Davis, James Brown, and the Ramones. It was my girlfriend Michelle who introduced me to punk culture. She taught me everything I needed to know--where to get the music, where to shop for jewelry (any pet store), and how to cut my own hair without a mirror. Well, almost everything. My crush on one of Longwood's art teachers led to the other defining friendship of my high school years. Mr. -- instructed me in the ways of the gay world, even taking me into the city and showing me the leather shops and bookstores of the West Village. I always knew that the minute I turned eighteen I would move to Manhattan, which seemed as far away and glamorous as Hollywood. After graduating, I followed Michelle to the School o f Visual Arts.
On arrival in Manhattan, I made friends with others new to the city. During the day we studied art and visited museums. At night we explored bars. I recall one late night at the Pyramid Club on Avenue A in the East Village. The house was packed, and there was a long list of entertainers. A tall slender blond boy dressed in metallic space gear tapped out a scale repeatedly on a toy electronic organ. In a trancelike state, he chanted, "Take what you can get and call it love."
I spent the next four years in and out of love with many men and women. I formed important and enduring friendships with artists like Mark Dion, Jason Simon, and Andrea Fraser. In 1986, Andrea and I lived together, on Fourth Street between A and B. The East Village was then host to a hodgepodge of cultures--punk, bohemian, queer, and druggie. No one I knew referred to himself as gay. That identity was reserved for clones--older homosexual men who wore mustaches and dressed alike in tight jeans and nylon bomber jackets, or in leather. I rejected this style as a kind of conformity. I was free of labels.
None of my friends knew much about AIDS in 1986. I was still living in a mostly straight-identified scene, and AIDS was a remote concern. But then the reports about the AIDS crisis that began to dominate the news captured my attention, probably because I realized that I could have become exposed to HIV from sex with any number of men--some friends, son e acquaintances, some strangers. Even among my few homosexual friends there was much confusion, misinformation, and denial when it came to safe sex. The public sex culture of gay life that had achieved visibility and legitimacy through the sexual revolution was being driven underground by homophobia. In the mid-'80s, mandatory testing and quarantine were discussed at very high levels of the Reagan administration.
Underlying all this confusion was the fear that one could test positive and die a horrible death very quickly. This fear, magnified by all the attention AIDS was getting in the news, drove me to seek advice and information. The only hospitable place to go was the Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center on Thirteenth Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. …

Carriage Stock at Foxfield RailwayCarriages at Foxfield span nearly 100 years of design development - compare the NSR carriage body number 61 built in the mid 1870s with the most recent BR Mark 2 carriage built in 1966. Both were built with the identical purpose of carrying third class passengers, but the differences in size and construction are enormous. All the carriages represent types in use in North Staffordshire and Derbyshire throughout a century. On a preserved railway carriage have a very practical purpose of carrying fare-paying passengers, and for this the BR Mark 1 vehicles dating from the 1950s are mainly used, but it is hoped to bring some of the vintage stock up to passenger carrying standard one day. Not to be forgotten is the "non-passenger carriage stock" or NPCS. At Foxfield there can be seen examples of a couple of common types.

Death by Snu-Snu
That seems overly complicated for a draw-and-quarter machine. Why the spears? Why the woman? That wouldn't have been MY first thought.
The woman is there to confuse him, but sending pleasurable signals alongside the painful ones. It just adds to the agony if he is thaaaaaaaat close to a beautiful woman. After all, he's a man's man.
My favorite part is that he says his feet were like "fiery stumps of lead". I'm a sucker for that phrase.
The fact that no matter where he goes the woman are always voluptuous anglos either in bikinis or unbuttoned tops should be confusing enough to him.
I like how the woman are drawn with leis on, like he got mugged at a luau.
I'm not convinced one could be drawn and quartered by four men, even the sturdy gents portrayed here. Didn't they historically use horses for such a thing?
Aw, but what do I know. Maybe they're the All-Islands Tug-of-War champions.
I think their job is to slowly lower our hero onto the spearpoints, and perhaps the woman is there to make his feelings conflicted about the lowering. That's what he gets for, uh, defiling Damar's secret. At any rate, this warrants further investigation. For God's sake, somebody post the whole story!
I don't think it's quite a spoiler to say that it looks likely Lang survived his… well, okay, "ordeal." Since he lived to tell the tale to Gene Channing.
"Drawing" means cutting you open from neck to groin and pulling (drawing) your guts out while you're still alive. I don't think a horse could do that very well. Then they'd burn or cook your entrails in front of you. "Quartering" involves removing all four limbs – quarters. Normally you'd be hanged first – well, half-hanged, actually, as they need you to be alive to watch your insides becoming your outsides.
Thanks for the clarification.
Is there a way to read the whole story? It sounds like a hoot. Of course that could just be because anything looks good in the middle of a long work-day of writing about avant-garde aesthetics and gender theory. What better to follow up on that than sexual titillation, xenophobia, violence, and no doubt some very manly vengeance. Not to mention all those phallic spears.
the drawing is meant to be an homage to the romantic spirit of the western myth and a commentary on the arrogance of westward expansion.
…or as they call it at kink.com… Tuesday.
Sadly, the story is probably a lot less interesting than the cover art shown here. I've tried going back and reading a few of those old pulp stories just to see what they were like, and universally they have been terrible. They're basically action movies in book form. Two pages of the hero finding some bad guys, a couple pages of fisticuffs, and then they run away or get killed and the hero goes and finds more bad guys. Sometimes he is caught and has to escape over the course of a page or so to get into more fighting. No plot, no character development, just the main character walking from setpiece to setpiece beating up bad guys with his fists until it abruptly ends in the most nonsensical manner possible.
There is no doubt some charm to those old pulps, but I'd say they're best appreciated from a distance and through the rose tinted glasses of nostalga.
Remove the ladies and it looks like any weeknight in the back room of the ToolShed.
Tell him to grin, bear it and think of England
I believe I can read the lips of the woman on the ground. Yes, yes, she appears to be saying, "Is this bugging you? See, I'm not touching you. Is this bugging you? I'm still not touching you…"
Honestly, I don't know why I chose to vacation there. I wouldn't recommend it.
I'm pretty sure that I saw that apparatus advertised in the back of a Penthouse from the 70s, without the spearheads.

Know God
"There is a
God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man."
—Blaise Pascal
you haven't learned to call it a "God-shaped vacuum," but Pascal, a
brilliant philosopher, noticed a common fact of existence—there's
a spiritual dimension in each of us, waiting to be satisfied.
Everyone tries to fill this void; if not with God, then with
something else—relationships, money, career, GAP clothing—fill in the blank.
The insatiable, unsatisfied desires of our hearts reveal that we are
all missing God, even if we haven't labeled the longing like Pascal
did. Have you ever wanted to know God? For a moment at least,
consider the possibility that your spirit has always been
longing for Him.
Now the essential question is, "Do you know Him yet?" If not, maybe
you've wondered:
"god" will satisfy my spiritual needs? Can I find god in a church
setting? If so, why does the church today seem so irrelevant?
Our current
cultural and religious atmosphere is not very friendly to
those ready to fill the "God-shaped vacuum" in their
souls. In reality, seemingly irrelevant church themes
("atonement, sin, worship…") combined with the
cultural ideal of tolerance ("everything is equally true") is
enough to cause a lot of people to lose interest in really knowing
God for themselves.
However, many people are ready to
defy cultural apathy and religious irrelevance and keep
searching. If you are sincerely
looking for God, we at Cornerstone applaud you! And we have
good news for you—God is looking for you as well.
The eyes
of the LORD search the whole earth
in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to
Chronicles 16:9
God is knowable. And His invitation
to be known is still on the table. We invite you to begin a
relationship with the only
God who can satisfy the desires of our hearts: Jesus Christ, the
creator and lover of all people. To learn more about Jesus Christ,
visit Cornerstone, a community of people
devoted to knowing God personally, or contact one of our
pastors with your questions.

The iPhone connector doesn't actually fit into the Apple dock adapter, so take a razor, scissors, whatever, and slightly trim the ends, the width is fine just make the slot a tad longer.
Not really sure how to achieve the same result without a bench grinder... Rubbing it against the sidewalk might take about 3 years. Oh yea! A file!
This is what your shooting for, but there is a problem...
It's off. You'll want to trim the inside rim of the elbow so the dock sits flat. Take a razor at a 45 degree angle to do so. Don't trim all the way around, just where the Apple dock adapter will rest.
This is what happens if you only trim one side.
Next piece of interest is the male coupling that inserts into the elbow. This is what will attach to the wall and the elbow dock will slide over it, but there's some work to do first.
That lip is a problem, as is the overall length, it won't completely fit inside our elbow. Also, the fit is very tight! To fix this, start by hacking off a half inch from the open end.
Then I took the lipped end to a bench grinder and sanded it down and roughed up the whole piece to make it not such an impossibly tight fit, this is designed to be removed after all!
A shorter, slightly skinnier piece is the result. You want it to fit in snug, but that's it, you should be able to push this all he way in and then pop it out using your fingers.
I also smoothed the edges and roughed the whole thing up to make it slide in and out easier- just remember it needs to be snug, but not too much that you can't pop it back out from inside the elbow.
Make sure to trim an equal and even amount from each side, it'll sit askew otherwise.
Next, "assemble" what you've got so far minus the wall mount, figure out which way is up and which end will be against the wall. You'll need a saw or a drill and bit to make a notch on the wall end.
Should look like this. Can use that 1/4" drill bit from the supplies list I mentioned, I put the elbow in a vise and used a jigsaw.
This is with the wall mount inserted
Next, after you've got the wall mount where you want it and the notch on the bottom of the wall end, you'll need a similar notch or hole in the wall mount so it doesn't pinch your cable!
Right? Because if you don't, when you go to slide the dock elbow over the wall mount it'll get jammed. You can use a jigsaw or a hole saw bit, I used a 3/4" hole saw bit (drill bit).
It doesn't look flush, but it is, see next picture
You're almost finished!
Time to hot glue or PVC cement, your preference. Test fit the Apple dock adapter and your iPhone first. Bulky cases may not allow the device to reach the 30 pin connector when resting on the adapter.
Most people will not be able to use their cases with this, as most cases are too bulky. The vast majority of all docking stations out there are made for the naked device.
Push iPhone cable completely through the adapter plate you trimmed out earlier. Connect iPhone then slide the adapter up to the iPhone. If you have a case on it you may have to remove it.
Once I got the depth where I wanted I adhered them
Then feed the cable through, set it where you want and glue the underside of the adapter, the ends of it, not the elbow. It's easier this way and less messy and holds better.
This is the commercial grade scotch double sided tape. From Home Depot, the residential grade sucks, don't even waste your time. This is damage free of course but may require some touch up painting.
The key here is to place the wall mount where you want first, making sure the hole you drilled is facing DOWN
Then slide your new dangled docking station over the wall mount!
I'm going to add a cord hide, and the outlet is behind the couch and I've got a flat plug extension cord going to it so my couch doesn't have to be pulled out any to make room for something plugged in
So now I'm chilling on my couch with my iPhone within arms reach and charging. I later added a cord hide track that sticks to the wall and conceals the charge cable, it's wall colored too!

Original Message
Ok,this event has stuck with me over the years and I have thought about it nearly every day since it happened. I would definitely consider it top 3 weirdest things that have ever happened to me.
My dad was a Secret Service agent (recently retired) and because of this, I was "privileged" enough to meet a lot of our Presidents/V.P's/dignitaries/etc. None of the times I met any of them was very significant, except for this one:
We went to the White House Christmas Party in December of 2001. I was 18 or 19 at the time (my birthday is the 12th and I don't remember what day the party was), and was a recently converted Christian (I got saved at about 4am on 9/11/2001, but that is a different story). All of the families of the staff and secret service agents got to go to this party, and have their picture taken with President Bush and the First Lady, and we were all standing in line to go in for the picture, before the dinner. The room where they were taking the pictures was a rather large meeting room with nothing in it besides a large Christmas tree, the Bush's, an aid or two and the photographers (and a few SS agents). When we were next in line to go into the room, I heard the President say my name from around the corner "Dan, where is Dan?", the way an uncle would say that before he saw you and then say "there he is" (my name is not Dan, changed for the story). Apparently, (I am assuming this because I have never asked him) my dad told the aid that was taking us into the room my name, and she told the President, and he just said that to try and be affable or friendly or whatever.
I thought right off the bat that was weird because my two brothers were there too, but he only said my name, so I am not sure why my dad only told him my name (if in fact my dad told the aid that).
As we walked around the corner into the room, that is when things took a terrible turn. As I rounded the corner my eyes scanned the room, the first thing I noticed was Laura Bush, smiling, warm and friendly looking. Then I saw President Bush, who, once again said "which one is Dan?" smiling his goofy smile. My dad introduced me first, because he was asking for me, and I will never forget what happened next. His face went from a kidding-around, smiling, joking demeanor to hard and frowning in an instant. The best way I could describe his reaction was if someone introduced you to a person as "here is the person that killed your father". The smile dropped immediately. His face went from friendly and jesting to anger, disgust and almost a "I can't believe you let him in here" type of look. I felt my face flush as I shook his hand and smiled, but inside I wanted to run away as fast as I could. He didn't say a word to me, just stared me down. I have never felt as awkward in my entire life as I did at that moment, and so out of place. The rest of my family shook his hand and his smile and joking manner returned, and I am almost positive that no one else saw what happened, because if they did I am sure they would have said something about it by now. As we walked out of the room I looked back over my shoulder (I was almost in a state of shock at this point) and he was staring at me with that same death-look on his face. We went back into the dining hall and finished dinner, and the whole time it was all that I could think about. "What just happened?!" "Was that real?!" "Did he see some kind of evil in me?!" type questions poured through my thoughts over and over.
Also that night, George H.W. Bush came to the dinner for just a second, said hi, and left. But as he was leaving, he went over to my brother and rubbed his shaved head, making my brother turn a beet-red color and all of the people standing around laughed hysterically. I would have laughed too, if I hadn't been so shaken up by what just happened to me. Instead, I just sat in silence the rest of the night, completely disoriented as to what took place.
Looking back on the whole thing I still have tons of questions that I cannot come up with answers to, like:
If my dad didn't tell him my name, how did he know it?
If my dad did tell him, why did he just tell him my name?
Why did his look/demeanor/everything about him change so violently?
Did my family notice? If so, why have they never said anything about it?
Assuming it did happen like I remember it (which if it didn't I am officially crazy), what does it mean!?!?!
Is it possible that he saw in me something that triggered him to know that I would discover the truth about the NWO,9/11, etc?
Did it have anything to do with me being a Christian? I have read how the devils knew who Jesus was, and even one said "Paul we know, Jesus we know, but who are you?"
Is it possible that it was a demon-type situation that recognized a child of God and got offended?
At the time, I thought he was a stand-up guy, that was a Christian and was going to save our nation from the terrorists that did the attacks on our soil. I know now the truth about 9/11 (I found Loose Change in 2006 and have been researching it since then), and that he was likely a big part of the attacks, not the one to save us from them. Like I said, I think about this nearly every day and still have more questions than answers. Well, that is my story and I am sticking to it, anyone else have similar experiences or any insight into what happened to me? Thanks for reading GLP, you guys rock!

BOOLEAN Data Type
A data type used in CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements, representing a single true/false choice.
In the column definition of a CREATE TABLE statement:
column_name BOOLEAN
Range: TRUE or FALSE. Do not use quotation marks around the TRUE and FALSE literal values. You can write the literal values in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. The values queried from a table are always returned in lowercase, true or false.
Conversions: Impala does not automatically convert any other type to BOOLEAN. All conversions must use an explicit call to the CAST() function.
You can use CAST() to convert TINYINT, SMALLINT, INT, BIGINT, FLOAT, or DOUBLE BOOLEAN: a value of 0 represents false, and any non-zero value is converted to true.
You can cast DECIMAL values to BOOLEAN, with the same treatment of zero and non-zero values as the other numeric types. You cannot cast a BOOLEAN to a DECIMAL.
You cannot cast a STRING value to BOOLEAN, although you can cast a BOOLEAN value to STRING, returning '1' for true values and '0' for false values.
Although you can cast a TIMESTAMP to a BOOLEAN or a BOOLEAN to a TIMESTAMP, the results are unlikely to be useful. Any non-zero TIMESTAMP (that is, any value other than 1970-01-01 00:00:00) becomes TRUE when converted to BOOLEAN, while 1970-01-01 00:00:00 becomes FALSE. A value of FALSE becomes 1970-01-01 00:00:00 when converted to BOOLEAN, and TRUE becomes one second past this epoch date, that is, 1970-01-01 00:00:01.
NULL considerations: An expression of this type produces a NULL value if any argument of the expression is NULL.
Do not use a BOOLEAN column as a partition key. Although you can create such a table, subsequent operations produce errors:
[localhost:21000] > create table truth_table (assertion string) partitioned by (truth boolean); [localhost:21000] > insert into truth_table values ('Pigs can fly',false); ERROR: AnalysisException: INSERT into table with BOOLEAN partition column (truth) is not supported: partitioning.truth_table
SELECT 1 < 2; SELECT 2 = 5; SELECT 100 < NULL, 100 > NULL; CREATE TABLE assertions (claim STRING, really BOOLEAN); INSERT INTO assertions VALUES ("1 is less than 2", 1 < 2), ("2 is the same as 5", 2 = 5), ("Grass is green", true), ("The moon is made of green cheese", false); SELECT claim FROM assertions WHERE really = TRUE;
HBase considerations: This data type is fully compatible with HBase tables.
Parquet considerations: This type is fully compatible with Parquet tables.
Text table considerations: Values of this type are potentially larger in text tables than in tables using Parquet or other binary formats.
Column statistics considerations: Because this type has a fixed size, the maximum and average size fields are always filled in for column statistics, even before you run the COMPUTE STATS statement.

I'm leaving Saturday for an overnight "Test ride" in preparation for a week long ride this summer on the Kettle Valley Railway.
Loaded my bike except for water and groceries and took it around the block.
What a camel! Time to take a serious look at every item and thin the load a little.
We will ride 41 kms on Saturday, camp out, and ride 41 kms home. Just doing this will be a challenge.
Glad I'm starting early preparing for this tour.

Project Runway Exclusive: Interview With Winner Irina Shabayeva
December 09, 2009 07:55 AM by Christine McDow
We have so many fans of the hit Bravo Lifetime show, Project Runway, that we wanted to be sure we shared this interview with you that our partner site, The Fashion Spot, obtained. Project Runway Season 6 winner, Irina Shabayeva, sat down with our editors and answered questions about the competition, while giving us a look at her fashion design journey so far.
Before her stint on Project Runway, Irina got her start at Parson's School of Design, where she was considered to be "hands down the best fashion illustrator in the classroom." This was followed by a trip to study fashion in Denmark, and then a return to the US to work with Diane Von Furstenberg, where she successfully got an employee fired by doing a better job than him and impressing Diane Von Furstenberg. Irina Shabayeva is definitely one of the most interesting reality stars to ever grace our TV. A teaser of her interview is below, but to learn more about Irina Shabayeva and read the whole interview, please visit The Fashion Spot!
TFS: How long did it take you to start and complete the award-winning collection?
Irina: It took me a little less then 2 months.
TFS: Which was your favorite piece from that collection?
Irina: The black knee length coat with the criss cross wrapping leather detail in the back. I love all the pants, too.
TFS: Do you wish that you had more time to contribute to detail, or do you feel you got the job done perfectly?
Irina: I work well under pressure…I think I got the job done well.
TFS: Did you ever doubt for a minute that doing it all in black would be risky? I found it so unusual for you since you LOVE color!
Irina: No, because the collection was abut texture and the different textures of black. It was not about color.
There is a whole lot more on The Fashion Spot! To read it now, click here.

FAIRMONT - Fairmont Senior has clawed its way back to Charleston.
The Polar Bears baseball team is making its ninth trip to the state tournament in the last 10 seasons with a 4-0 victory against John Marshall in the Regional I final on Thursday night at Mary Lou Retton Park.
"It's real nice for our seniors to go down to Charleston again for the state tournament," Fairmont Senior coach Steve Naternicola said. "It's a nice accomplishment for the other kids too, especially for our freshman and sophomores. Now, we're down to four teams and we've got a shot at it."

Fairmont Senior (28-7), which in still in search of its first state title, will play Region 4 champ Nitro next Thursday in the state semifinals.
The Polar Bears are peaking at the right time, while getting help from their four seniors in Trevor Malnick, Tre Kerns, Tyler Walter and Corey Sidow. Malnick still recalls the last time he played the Monarchs during the heartbreaking 3-2 loss in 2009. Since then, he has had his eyes on winning a state title, while providing an accomplishing stat.
"Malnick is the only player in my 25 years that I have ever had who hit over .400 every year," Naternicola said.
Accomplishing that fleet is hard to come by, but it takes a team effort to win ballgames, and the Polar Bears did just that on Thursday.
In the sixth inning, Matt Robbins started the inning with a two-out hit up the middle. Robbins then stole second. Tyler Walter came to the plate with the game on the line. With two strikes, Walter's fought off a fastball that scored Robbins, giving the Polar Bears a 1-0 lead. This hit sparked FSHS and changed the momentum of the game. Trevor Malnick followed Walter's with a walk and Tre Kerns notched a RBI base hit, scoring Walters. Rider Skarzinski broke the game wide open with his single, which scored both Malnick and Kerns, giving the Polar Bears a comfortable cushion going into the seventh inning, 4-0.
"Somebody was going to lose. I've been in this a long time," John Marshall coach Bob Montgomery said. "That's the way a playoff game should be played. We had a very good game. Anybody that comes into athletics, somebody's going to be pretty happy and somebody isn't.
''We've had a real good season. We've started 1-6 and we had a pretty good game until the sixth inning."
Prior to the sixth inning, Fairmont Senior only had two hits. Trevor Malnick hit a double in the second inning, and Fletcher DeVaul smacked a triple in the third.
DeVaul started the game on the mound, allowing no hits and striking out two in 3.1 innings. Relieving DuVaul was Matt Robbins, where he picked up the victory, while adding seven more strikeouts to his repertoire, in 3.2 innings.
Shane Wellman pitched all seven innings for the Monarchs. Ryan Gellner had the only hit in the fourth inning for John Marshall, which ended its season at 22-16.

fat tuesday
Photos: Mardi Gras in the Fillmore District
Fat Tuesday Tonight: A Taste of Bourbon Street via Scott Street
How could I forget that today is Fat Tuesday? Clearly I've completely lost my Louisiana roots. In a panic, I looked up what's left to be hand: Arizmendi Bakery's king's cakes are sold out, the Mardi Gras celebration at Town Hall? Sold out too. But, ah, who would have thunk? The Republic is ringing in Lent with a Mardi Gras party tonight. Their chef Ronnie New is from the Big Easy and he'll be making barbecued shrimp (which was my request for every birthday dinner I ever had growing up in Baton Rouge) and some classic gumbo. Hurricanes as well as Abita beer (both Purple Haza and Turbo Dog) is also available—another prerequisite. Starts at 4 pm and goes until 1 am.
Fat Tuesday at Townhall
The Hurricane cocktails were definitely flowing last night at Townhall's annual Fat Tuesday celebration, as were the oysters, the fried chicken and the gumbo. Check out photos from the fesitivies.

Mardi Gras at Townhall: Oysters and G-Strings
Mardi Gras is coming up next week and Townhall is having its annual Fat Tuesday celebration. Co-owner Mitch Rosenthal recalled last year's celebration: "We shucked 1,900 oysters. It was brutal. There were about six of us, just shucking and jiving." Although for 2008, the restaurant ordered big, fat oysters straight from Louisiana (having grown up there, I like my oysters big, which often slightly horrifies people here who prefer delicate little—i.e. sissy—Kumamotos), they learned a lesson when the $900 overnight shipping bill came. For 2009, the oysters will be sourced locally.

Burner Shutting Off!!!
I ran out of oil for my burner. Got delivery, bled the line. The boiler came on heated up the water (hot water off of coil in boiler) started to send up heat (steam)then just cut off! Thermostat shows that it is calling for heat but nothing is happening. If I press the reset button it fires and then dies out. Any idea what I may be looking at??? Any advice would be appreciated.
You need to take the nozzle out and clean it completely. Having sucked the tank dry has gotten junk in the nozzle and is impeding the flow from it causing the fire eye not to see the flame causing a shutdown. The tip of the nozzle screws off. Also make a mark on the bracket and electrode, so that you can put them back in the same place upon reassembly. Good Luck.

C-8 Parking and Traffic Appeals Panel
So far this year, the committee has received 214 cases, approximately the same as last year's caseload of 216. We have reached decisions in 174 cases, and 40 are still pending.
We have attempted this year to recreate the very efficient Web based system created by last year's chair, Egidio Leitao, but we have been stymied by a lack of support from the administration, including both the Parking & Traffic Office and the University Team Web group. I did not want to create a Web site on a local, philosophy Web server, for two reasons: (1) the committee Web site should have a permanent home so that each year's chair does not have to start again from scratch, and, even more importantly, (2) I had no way to restrict access to the site to committee members (using UTEIDs). Since we would post letters and other personal communications from the appellants on the site in order to make these available to committee members, it is essential that the Web site be made secure and inaccessible to the general public.
I have tried to use email as a substitute for the Web site, but this was unsuccessful, since the PDF files containing the case materials are too large to be accepted as an attachment by the University's mailbox system. Consequently, we have had to rely entirely on photo-duplication and snail mail. This has proven to be very inefficient. Many appellants have been forced to wait for an inexcusably long period of time. As chair, I have been forced repeatedly to contact committee members to remind them of their responsibilities and to encourage them to respond in a timely manner. I must say that this has been especially true of the panel's student members, who, with two or three exceptions, have simply failed to carry out their duties as committee members. I believe that shifting to a permanent, Web based system would make the process so much easier for committee members as to increase dramatically the participation rate by student members, and thereby lighten considerable the burdens of the chair's job.
I have received verbal commitments from Paul Muscato at Parking and Traffic and from David Cook of Team Web to work together in putting up at least a bare-bones Web site for the committee this summer. I hope to have such a site up and running, without bugs, in time for next year's committee.
Robert C. Koons, chair

Uplifting proof that people on the internet do some of the best things when they aren't doing the very worst things.
Inspired by the episode of Community that takes the cast into a retro video game, a daring vanguard from reddit is making what everyone wished would be made immediately after that episode aired: an actual Community video game. The game is still in its nascent stages right now--you can basically just jump on hippies and enter doors--but already the graphical details alone are amazing. All the main characters have several costume variants (such as Inspector Spacetime Abed above)! This is so correct!
Updated versions of the game (for PC, Mac, and Linux) are being uploaded here at a surprising rate, and you can contribute and/or see others' contributions in the main subreddit here. If you have programming/graphics/sound talent, get to work immediately. Everything else you are doing is less necessary.
(Thanks, Owen)

Women & Children's Shelter
The fastest growing segment of Snohomish County's homeless population is women and children. Over 40% of the known 2,300 homeless people in our community are women, and there are over 800 homeless children in Snohomish County.
Whether fleeing domestic violence, losing a job, trapped in substance abuse or other issues, women and children who are desperate for safe shelter are welcomed at Everett Gospel Mission with open arms. With our addition the Mission now has bed space for 100 women and children.
The Women and Children's Shelter offers much more than safe warm shelter, however. Each person who arrives at our shelter undergoes a detailed intake assessment which helps us evaluate her individual needs.
Based on this evaluation, we develop – with each person – a customized program to help them and their family pursue stability and a future of hope and promise.
Each adult residing at our women and children's shelter is offered intensive one-on-one case management, Bible studies, Life Management classes, and a specialized 12-step recovery group. Our goal is to provide everyone who comes to us with a new set of tools around which to build a transformed life.
Each family has access to nutritious meals, comfortable beds, clean clothing, mentoring, Bible studies, life-skills classes and other help they need to get off the streets for good. Children have a comfortable place to do homework, plus get help if they need it, increasing their odds of success in school.
This comes at a critical time when more than 800 mothers and children are waiting for housing in Snohomish County. Their average wait for emergency housing can be as long as six months to a couple of years!.
Women and children are out there right now waiting for these beds. They are in need of a warm, secure, sheltered environment where God can restore their lives physically and spiritually.

With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant, the City is converting 55,000 yellow and green incandescent traffic signals to energy efficient LEDs. The City's red traffic signals were converted to LEDs when the technology became available in the 1990s. Streets Department technicians will also replace the 30,000 red signals that have now reached the end of their useful life. These high-efficiency bulbs will save the City approximately one million dollars a year in electricity costs. The City will be additionally rewarded for its energy efficiency efforts with a rebate payment from the PECO Smart Ideas program.
The City is also striving to reduce energy use at municipal facilities. The Streets Department is building the City's first project designed to LEED standards, which is scheduled to be completed in 2011, and the City has six additional LEED projects planned. In 2010 the City won a grant from the State for over $400,000 to help renovate six recreation centers with modern lighting and controls. These updates will save the City over $100,000 annually in electricity costs and serve as models for replication across the recreation system.
To support additional energy reducing projects, the Mayor's Office of Sustainability (MOS) established an Energy Efficiency Fund (EEF) to help departments implement high payback energy efficiency projects. Applications chosen for funding include lighting renovations and HVAC improvements, and all the projects will exemplify how the City can invest in its assets and save money. MOS will monitor energy and cost savings at project sites using its energy management database. Another round of EEF applications is planned for summer 2011. Finally, the City will complete an Investment Grade Audit of four large downtown buildings to prioritize energy conservation measures.

Lesser-known Aztecs shine on night when stars fail
On a night when the San Diego State offense struggled, two lesser known Aztecs stepped up to keep the Aztecs in the game with Texas Christian University.
It still was a lopsided, 27-14 loss, but without sophomore fullback Chad Young and backup running back Walter Kazee, the game might have even been more of a blowout.
Young made the most of his first catch ever as an Aztec, hauling in a 4-yard touchdown pass from SDSU quarterback Ryan Lindley to get the Aztecs to 20-14 with 13:39 to play in the game.
Young, a 5-foot-11, 225-pound sophomore, from La Verne, also had the third carry of his career, a 9-yard gain in the first quarter. It also was the longest gain of his career.
"We put ourselves in position to win, but we didn't make the plays when we had to," Young said. "They just played better than us, so hats off to them."
Young was a walk-on until this fall when he was given a scholarship prior to the fall semester.
"Really, the only stat that matters, and if you talk to everybody on our team, they'll tell you the same thing, it's the 'W,'" said Young, who finished with the nine yards rushing and the one touchdown pass. "It's nothing compared to what we'd feel if we would have won it. Now we have a short week, so we have to get ready for Thursday. We have to get this out our heads and get ready to play."
Kazee picked up for star running back Ronnie Hillman after the TCU defense appeared to have Hillman's number. Hillman spent most of the second half on the sideline next to head coach Rocky Long. Hillman gained 56 yards on 17 carries in the first half, but only carried three times in the second half and finished with a net 55 yards.
Kazee had eight carries for 34 yards and two catches for 28 yards.
"The offensive line opened up some holes and that was the key," Kazee said. "It was easy to do after that. But this loss hurts. Now we just have to go back and get ready for Air Force."
For the second straight game, San Diego State's offense struggled mightily to get any kind of momentum early and also had trouble in the red zone.
The offensive problems were obvious after the very first play from scrimmage when Lindley called the team's first timeout.
After Hillman gained one yard on the first play, Lindley called timeout with 14:18 to play in the first quarter. Hillman ran another play for a 1-yard loss after the timeout, and Lindley threw an incompletion to force the Aztecs' first punt of the game.
"The TCU defense made some really nice plays," Lindley said after saying the Horned Frogs didn't do anything different. "They are a fast team, good athletes, and they played well."
Lindley called a second timeout with 13:45 to play in the second quarter with the Aztecs facing a third-and-5 at the TCU 36-yard line. Following the timeout, Lindley hit wide receiver Colin Lockett for a 33-yard pass play to the 3-yard line, but Hillman fumbled away the Aztecs' second scoring opportunity into the end zone from the 2-yard line. SDSU was 0-for-2 in the red zone in the first half, 2-for-4 in the game.
Lindley was 5-for-14 passing for 71 yards in the first half and threw one interception, his first in 81 pass attempts and just his second in 195 attempts. The Aztecs were just 2-for-8 on third-down conversions in the first half.
For the game, Lindley was 15-for-41 for 201 yards and two touchdowns, but he threw three interceptions.

Larabeth McLeod has beauty, money, several patents, a Ph.D., a successful environmental firm, and some very old secrets. When a man with the uncomfortable name of Babykiller begins stalking her, terrorizing her with stories of her darkest days in Vietnam, stories no one else knows, she feels compelled to fight back…until he exposes her most tender secret of all by threatening the daughter she has never met.
She turns to private detective J.D. Hatten for help, breaking five years of separation and silence between quarreling friends. And then Babykiller shows his true capabilities. He is the head of an illicit business offering but one service–moving cargo worldwide for criminals who need their drugs or cash or smuggled goods shipped safely and anonymously–so he is capable of putting anything anywhere. He quietly explains to Larabeth, a well-known environmental executive, that he can even put defective gauges in nuclear power plants, and he will, just to get her attention. If she goes to the police for protection, people will die. Lots and lots of people will die. And one of them will be her daughter.
Larabeth and J.D. are just a normal man and woman, up against a babykiller. But then, Babykiller doesn't know who he's dealing with…

The darkest secrets we keep even from ourselves…
Mary Austin is the kind of teacher that parents adore and children wish for. Firm and compassionate, a guiding light in their lives, she would do anything to protect her students.
But that loyalty is tested when the school's sadistic bully is found dead on campus, and suspicion falls on six children in her class. None willing to talk. To point the finger. To reveal the killer.
Faced with this, Mary finds herself confronted with dark memories from her own childhood. Fragmentary flashes from the past that test the bounds of her reality, the onslaught worsening when a tenacious detective is brought in to close the case.
On loan from the Seattle Police Department, Detective Dooley Ashe is plagued by his own demons, but focuses on breaking through the wall of silence the children have erected. Up against a town indifferent toward the crime and suspects virtually untouchable by the law, Dooley turns to Mary as an avenue to the truth.
But when unseen adversaries push back, with both damaging and deadly results, Dooley and Mary are forced to face their personal limits as they each discover the unthinkable identity of the real killer.

Wardrobe Rule No. 7 – Elimination
Elimination. Well, how many garments do you need? I believe there are two rules when it comes to old clothes: Save or sell. I am a "saver". My relation to clothes is much to strong for me to be able to sell them. Besides I am too obsessed with fashion history so collection clothing is very important to me.
Clothes for me, are more than just clothes. Often you will be able to catch me in old pieces of clothing but I'll be sure to update my outfit with something new and hip of the season. I think everyone dreams of a "quick fix" and that is why the "make-over" shows are so popular but I don't believe in that, no "quick fixes". I look at it as a fast weight-loss, you will gain as much back as you lost during your weight-loss. My wardrobe is a part of my lifestyle and that is why I think that if I ever had to change my wardrobe it would be a long process and not a "quick fix".
Have you ever seen those women who make a radical hair style change, different color and cut and four new products and a new different blow dry? Well, it usually does not last very long from my experience. Have patience instead and remember that finding your unique style can take years and a lot of work. As I am such a fashion freak and clothing lover I constantly build my wardrobe, it's an ongoing process in my life.
I hope that these seven rules will help you understand how I think and how some other fashionistas think. I also hope that following these rules will help you find your unique fashion style and help you build your own gorgeous collection of clothing.

Adverts that intimate that gay people can be cured have been banned from London buses. Mayor Boris Johnson found them unacceptable.
The campaign backed by Christian groups have claimed that therapy can change sexual orientation.
There is no doubt in my mind that there are gay people who are not comfortable with their inclination. I know of a women who was a lesbian . She is now happily married with two children.
To my knowledge the bus posters did not indulge in " gay bashing" Surely any gay people who feel that some sort of therapy might be of help to them should not be deprived from knowing that it is available. Yet again political correctness crushes the right of people to offer a service and of those who wish to avail themselves of it.

Teen dream or basic machine: whether you want pose or practical there's a 125 out there to suit
Engine 124cc, 2-stroke, carb'd single Power 15bhp Torque 10ftlb Weight 107kg Top speed 70mph
OK it's a scooter, but funkier than the loosest street dance crew. There's also a good range of tuning parts available. Check out ItaljetDragster.com and go for something like a 172cc kit, 26mm carb, decent exhaust, hopped-up variator, Delta clutch and you'll be beating fancy cars from the lights. Yes, the tuning's illegal until you get your full licence, so don't crash or your insurance will be void. The front ball joints are expensive to replace so be wary of any with significant play in them. A sweet scoot but made from old biscuit tins sprayed up to look like to real metal. Still good though.

Vancouver Shore Excursion: Post-Cruise Sea-to-Sky Highway Day Trip from Vancouver
- Take a day trip from Vancouver along the Sea to Sky Highway after your cruise arrives at port
- Look skyward at British Columbia's third-tallest waterfall, Shannon Falls
- Glide through the air on 10-minute Sea to Sky Gondola ride for views of Howe Sound and surrounding mountains
- Walk across the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge
- Dig deep into BC's mining history at the Britannia Mine Museum
- Port pickup and hotel drop-off included
- Covered by Viator's worry-free policy
What You Can Expect
Travel about 36 miles (58 km) along the highway to Shannon Falls Provincial Park, just south of the town of Squamish, passing through the coastal village of Horseshoe Bay along the way. When you reach Shannon Falls, the third-highest waterfall in British Columbia at 1,100 feet (335 meters), take a 10-minute walk through the forest to a lookout deck where you can feel the mist of the gushing waters that fall over the cliffs.
You can also catch some air on this tour: Head to to the Sea to Sky Gondola, where a 10-minute ride will take you 2,900 feet (885 meters) above sea level. During the ride, enjoy panoramic views of Howe Sound, Shannon Falls, the mountains and the lush coastal forest. When you get to the top, you have free time to take advantage of whichever amenities you wish: explore two different walking trails that lead to amazing viewpoints; check out the dizzying, 328-foot-long (100-meter) Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge; get a drink or something to eat at the Summit Restaurant and Edge Bar (own expense); or just relax and soak up the views from the Summit Lodge.
Ride the gondola down to your coach to continue your day trip to your last stop, the Britannia Mine Museum, about 10 minutes back down the highway toward Vancouver. Located in the sleepy community of Britannia Beach, the now-defunct copper mine dates back to the late 1800s and is today a museum and National Historic Site.
During your tour of the mine, go panning for gold and ride a mining car into the old mine. Learn about the history and importance of mining in British Columbia through the museum's exhibits and underground tour, during which a museum guide will operate your mining car and provide commentary.
Your day trip ends with the drive back to Vancouver.
Worry-free Shore Excursion:
If your ship is delayed and you are unable to attend this activity, your money will be refunded. See our terms and conditions for full details.
Please note: You must include hotel information at checkout and call tour operator ahead to confirm

4. Academic Policies and Procedures
Examinations [12]
The final examinations for each semester and summer term are scheduled by the registrar. An index of examinations is printed in the Course Schedule each semester, and the complete examination schedule is distributed to academic offices and published as an insert to the Daily Texan. The examination schedule for a specific class is available online through the registrar's Web site. Students may access their examination schedules through the Web site listed above and by calling TEX at (512) 475-9940 and selecting option 54.
Classes that meet at the same time during a semester also have a common examination time. Examinations should begin promptly at the scheduled hour and should not continue beyond the three hours allocated in the official schedule.
No final examinations may be given before the examination period begins, and no change in time from that printed in the official schedule is permitted. An instructor with a compelling reason to change the time of an examination must obtain the approval of the department chair and the dean of the college or school in which the course is taught before announcing an alternative examination procedure to the students. No substantial examinations may be given during the last class week or during the reading days and the no-class days preceding the final examination period. An examination counting for more than 30 percent of the final course grade is considered to be substantial. A change in the room assignment for a final examination may be made only with the approval of the registrar.
The no class days preceding final examinations are not to be used as dates on which papers are to be turned in, examinations are to be given, quizzes are to be scheduled, or for any other class-related activity, other than office hours. In addition, the final examination period is reserved for scheduled final examinations. No other class-related activity, with the exception of office hours, may be scheduled during the final examination period.[13]
With the approval of the department chair, an instructor may choose not to give a final examination. However, if an examination is given, all students must take it and no exemptions may be allowed except pursuant to a uniform exemption policy announced to the class.
For good cause, an instructor may give a student permission to take an examination with a different class section than the one in which the student is registered.
For good cause, a student may petition his or her academic dean for permission to change the time or place of an examination from that specified in the official schedule. If permission is given by the dean and the instructor, no penalty (such as a reduction in grade) may be assessed.
In a course extending over two semesters, when the subject matter is continuous, the second-semester final examination may include the subject matter of the first semester.
A student may address complaints related to the final examination procedures in a course to the chair of the department or the dean of the college or school in which the course is offered, or to the Office of the Ombudsman.
The following instructions govern the conduct of final examinations as well as other examinations given during the semester:
General searches of a student's personal papers and belongings may be conducted at the discretion of an instructor only when there is reasonable suspicion that the student has engaged in misconduct in violation of the Student Discipline and Conduct Code (chapter 11 of the Institutional Rules). In addition, the instructor must believe that the search is necessary to maintain the academic integrity of an examination or to maintain an environment in which learning can occur.
Availability of Classwork to Students
A student has the right to have all written materials that are submitted to meet the requirements of a course returned or made available for review. To be "made available" does not ensure the right to a photocopy, but the materials may be examined in the office of the faculty member or the academic department. Written materials that are not returned to the student must be retained by the faculty member or the department for at least one long-session semester following the completion of the course.
Semester reports from the registrar. Grade reports are available to all students, except students in the School of Law, at the end of each semester and summer session on the Web at http://www.utexas.edu/student/registrar/grades/. Printed grade reports are mailed to students who have had a change in scholastic status, earned University Honors, or requested a mailed copy prior to the end of the semester of summer session through the Web site. Grade reports are mailed to the student's permanent address on file in the Office of the Registrar; however, at the student's request or if the permanent address is outside the United States and its territories, reports are mailed to the local address.
Intrasemester reports from the deans. [14] About the middle of each semester (but not in the summer session), the faculty report undergraduate students doing work below the passing grade (D) to the deans, and the offices of the deans forward the reports to each student.
