Sure, appetizers and great music make a summer party memorable, but there's something about festive outdoor lighting that turns the let's-linger factor up several notches. Let's face it, a porch lamp or deck floodlight works, but it doesn't do much in the "wow, this is going to be an exciting shindig" department.
From beach-inspired string lights to cozy lanterns, a glow in all the right places takes parties from so-so to extra inviting.
Festive outdoor lighting is perfect, whether ladies are planning an end-of-summer bash or a girls-only get together. From lanterns lining the front sidewalk to glowing globes suspended from branches, festive outdoor lighting makes every party pop.
Here are some lights we love. Check them out and get ready to party!
Now, where are those appetizers?
Affordable Festive Outdoor Lighting to Brighten Every Party!
What do you think of outdoor lighting? Any of the ones here you're considering for your next bash?

Last weekend I had problems with heavily active server. I check and see that iostat is showing high disk activity service time was about 100. Also that caused cpu load. I try to find which process is causing disk activity. For this I turn on kernel messages about I/O. Normally for old kernels you could not directly see which process is causing heavy disk activity.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump
dmesg | egrep "READ|WRITE|dirtied" | egrep -o '([a-zA-Z]*)' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
I found kjournald causing disk activity. And I know many files are created in short term for that server. So I decide to tune filesystem. Filesystem is ext3. I decide to move writeback journaling. The writeback mode does not preserve data ordering when writing to the disk, so commits to the journal may happen before the file system is written to. This method is faster because only the meta data is journaled, but is not quite as neurotic about protecting your data as the default.
I edit fstab and add writeback option
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults,data=writeback 1 1
Before reboot run this command.If not your server won't boot.
tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/sda1

For most of the past three decades, B&ECPL has operated under the constraints imposed by Erie County's struggling economy and decreasing population. Under the 2006 proposed County budget, full-time B&ECPL staffing over the period will have DECREASED 358 positions and 62%, while Erie County's population decreased from 1,113,491 in the 1970 census to 950,265 in the 2000 census, a 15% reduction. As the graphical chart below shows, while reductions impacted all areas, the proportion of reductions varied to reflect population shifts within the County.
This has required constant evaluation of the mix and methods of service delivery as well as the staffing levels required to cost-effectively provide those services. This has included applying technology, conducting process improvement studies and aggressively managing turnover to evaluate and reclassify/redeploy vacated positions to meet library users' changing needs.
This era has seen the dramatic shift from a paper-based to an electronic-based information society. Unknown in the 1970s, computer use in libraries is now a staple, with almost 400,000 registered public use computer sessions in 2004. The library transitioned from manual card catalogs listing only the items available at an individual location to a fully automated, comprehensive library information system with full graphical, high-speed access to the Internet provided at each library. This shift has not been at the expense of other library materials. Quite the contrary, circulation of library materials nearly doubled from 4,646,907 in 1975 to 9,175,635 in 2004.
Redeployment/reclassification of existing positions allowed the Library to consolidate System-wide telephone, email and fax-based reference services and expand the hours they are available without increasing overall staff counts. This virtual service point, known as "e-Branch", provides convenient access to library users regardless of where in Erie County they live, work or go to school. In terms of circulation, the Central Library based e-Branch became the third busiest location in 2004.
The library will continue to aggressively manage personnel resources and the number of service locations to provide quality library services within the limits of future County resources and public financial support.

I went to Portland. This was ages ago. I am so behind in my blogging. I need to get my priorities straight. I guess it should go like this: blogging, sleeping, work, drinking. Or some variant of that.
Before heading off, we went to Toad and Bryce's art show. Outside, Matt and I compared mustaches (see how behind I am in the blogging? I've already won the banjo!) and later on I gave Casey a photo of a kitten that I'd been carrying in my shirt pocket for some reason.
The next morning we made our final preparations for heading up to Portland. I went to meet everyone at the 24th street BART station.
Dennis and Huckleberry were doing a couple of wall jammers. I hadn't considered it up until this point, but the sight of 10 not-exactly-clean kids with backpacks and water jugs might lead someone to suspect that we were itinerant travelers, i.e. homeless, and within minutes some nice folks from a street outreach program came up and offered us sandwiches and condoms. We thanked them for their concern but declined their offer on account of the sandwiches looking kind of gross (actually we told them that we had jobs and food, which their leader didn't entirely believe) and because condoms make my boner go away.
Later that night we slept on a floor in Oakland. There were pet rats. And this upside-down flag pretty much sums it up. About a day later I found myself alone in Klamath Falls, Oregon. There's a pretty excellent skate park there and a freight yard and not much else. The only thing near the park was the prison. I slept on top of a hill near the park in a gazebo. This is just up the way from Mt. Shasta.
I lay up there on my bedroll and read until the sun went down, trying my best to avoid park rangers and busybodies. Once the sun had completely set it became pitch black and the wind kicked up. The stars made a billion pinpricks in the sky and there was no moon. It was cold and there was no one for miles around in every direction. It was wonderful.
I woke in the middle of the night. I must have had a bad dream because I immediately felt ill at ease. I listened to the wind blowing through the hills and then became aware of the underbrush rustling all around me. Coyotes! I grabbed my knife and flashlight and prepared to fight to the death. Well, actually that's a lie. I did grab my knife and flashlight, but I tried to scare them away. Okay, that's a lie too. Half of me wanted to scare the coyotes off and be safe, but the other half wanted one of them to rush at me in a frenzy of fangs and spit. I pictured it so clearly all at once, standing on that hill: the coyotes would approach, cautiously at first, but then with growing curiosity. They'd easily pick up my man-smell and know I'd be delicious eating. The first one, braver than the rest, would run up and lunge for my arm, but I'd already have wrapped it in a heavy jacket. He'd sink his teeth in and I'd have him just where I wanted him. The coyote would shake like a dervish, hoping to pull me down but I'd already have sunk my knife to the hilt at the base of his skull. Then his friends would come on in a rush and a roar; growling, bared teeth, blood. And I would efficiently dispatch them all. The next morning I'd walk the two miles back into town wearing their pelts. I'd go right into a diner and order me up an omelet.
None of that happened. The coyotes never came any closer but just to be safe I hiked back down the hill a ways and hopped the waist high chain link fence surrounding the park. I took some photos while I ran around the bowls with my flashlight.
Then after a while I went back to my gazebo and slept until dawn.
I walked past the prison and through the freight yard and on into town. It was still before 6am and the streets were empty. Small town America is perhaps my favorite place. Not that it's only one thing in one location, but there's a similar feeling to each small town I've ever visited. It's this pervasive type of insulation that becomes obvious even when no one's around. Small towns are insular, but it's not a bad thing. To me it has more to do with community and inclusion. I like it when people greet strangers on the street and look them in the eye.
I did stop at a diner near the highway to eat an omelet. The waitress was the same age as my mom and had an amazing rapport with all the regulars. I brushed my teeth and washed up in the bathroom, and when I came out my food was waiting. All the elderly couples in the diner said good morning to me, and when I got ready to leave the waitress told me that my food was on the house. I think she assumed I was homeless since I'd come in with a mess of a backpack and had washed in the restroom. I didn't want to argue with her about it, but I knew the check for my breakfast would come out of someone's pay, so I just tipped the amount of the bill. I thanked her and headed for the highway. Within 20 minutes this guy in an old orange MG pulled over and asked if I wanted to go to Ashland.
I caught a few more rides through southern Oregon, primarily through the skatepark triangle of Ashland, Medford, and Jacksonville. I tried to skate but just ended up sleeping at the park in Ashland. There's a tiny stream, just a creek actually, right by the park and there are public restrooms. It's the perfect spot. When I woke up I ate some of the food I'd packed and skated for a bit with some little kids who were daring each other to roll into the bowl. I approached one their fathers to ask how to get to the highway. His immediate response was to tell me that he didn't have any money and for me to get the fuck away from him.
After a while I decided to take the Greyhound the rest of the way to Portland. This wasby farthe worst part of the trip. Greyhound can be great if you're on a budget and need to be somewhere, but I'll be honest with you: for every interesting and coherent person you meet on the bus, there are going to be five or six or nine total dipshits. I've met some wonderful people on the bus and the conversations we had passed the miles effortlessly, but on this one short tripjust three hours up through OregonI was surrounded by idiots and mental incompetents. I'll make no excuses for using those terms either. And what's more, why is it that the dumbest people are also the loudest? Do they crave spectacle for some reason I just don't understand?
Please, bear with me and let me elaborate: I hate airports. I fly a lot and I still hate airports. I hate them for one single reasonthey are a place you go to when you really want to be somewhere else. No one wants to go to the airport (or a train station or a bus station), but you have to go there in order to eventually go where you want to. You are a captive of the airport. I hate bus stations for this same reason, except that taking a bus is more democratic and populist than flying because it is cheaper. For me this means that not only do I not want to be at a bus station, just as no one else really wants to be there, but that I am going to be surrounded by grumpy people, loud people, agitated people who are beating their kids, teenagers trying to shoplift, ex-cons just getting out of prison basically this: I don't deal well with being around people. You could call it misanthropy. I prefer to call it social anxiety. But pretty much I hate being around large groups of people. Whether or not I know these people is usually inconsequential, and so having to wait at a bust station, in 100 degree heat, covered in a layer of grime and blood (I slammed at the Ashland park), is pretty much my worst case scenario for traveling.
Here's what I wrote in my notebook:
There's a man waiting in line to use the soda vending machine. His arms and torso are normal but his legs are withered and at odd angles to each other. He's standing in line on crutches, wiping sweat from his face and from the back of his neck with a handkerchief. He looks as if he might cry at any moment. There's another man who keeps pacing the length of the waiting room, impatient because every bus has been delayed. He's got a long ponytail and is wearing a silk scarf and aviator glasses. A very frail looking woman, maybe 65 years old, is sitting next to me. Her head is unevenly shaved and is patchy on top and in the back. A dozen band-aids cover her arms. The soda vending machine is the kind where the sodas are displayed and a robot arm reaches up to your selection and places it into a tray below.
The driver gets lost three times on the way to the highway and takes the bus on a detour through a few residential streets while people on the bus are yelling at her to turn around and go back to the station for a new driver. She's staring intently into the mirror pleading with people to be quiet. Her Greyhound uniform has a huge grease stain on the back.
The people sitting near me on the bus would have been funny if not for the fact that they were so sad and, more to the point, incredibly annoying. Sitting directly behind me is a young hiphop white kid, constantly shouting into his cell phone stuff like, What's crackin' niggaaa?? I got to fuck some hoes tonight for damn sure! Gonna fuck, gonna fuck! You know someone who can braid my hair in P-town?" Across the aisle from me is a middle aged black man, who I'm sure is going to fuck this kid up the next time he says nigga." Behind the man are two other teenaged kids who are very quiet and keep their headphones on almost the entire ride. In front of me is a sad looking woman who surprises almost everyone on board when she shrieks into her phone, Fuck you, Willy!" and then asks the woman across from her what the fuck she's looking at and if she'd like to get punched in the fucking face.
Just above is the man who was sitting across from me. He hadn't brought any type of on-board entertainment with him, so he kept listening to his phone's ringtone over and over and over. It was agonizing. It consisted of a 10 second drum and bass midi loop that was just loud enough to annoy the fuck out of me. Just when I thought about asking him to please turn it off, the kid behind me said, Hey nigga! You want some new ringtones?" At that point I felt sure there was going to be a fight, but the man just looked over his shoulder and said, Huh?"
The kid repeated himself, Ringtones you know, for your phone! Does your phone got Bluetooth, cause I can Bluetooth that shit to you, nigga!" Still no reaction from the man. To tell you the truth, I was itching to see these two go at each other. They were easily the two most annoying people I'd ever come into contact with and to see them pummeling each other would have been a pleasure. I'm sorry if that makes me a bad person, but I was at the end of my rope. I just wanted the kid to stop yelling into his phone (on speaker phone!!) and I wanted the man to stop playing his ringtone. It fucking sucked.
Anyways, the man just looked blankly and said, Bluetoof?" to which the kid replied, Yeah, it's like some thing inside your phone so I can send you stuff through the air." The man said he didn't know whether or not he had Bluetooth, but he decided to call his phone company to ask.
Here is his phone call, as close to verbatim as I can remember:
Hello Sprint? Yeah. What color are the teeth on my phone?" Then there was a long pause, during which time I imagine the operator was either scratching his/her head trying to figure out where the teeth were supposed to go on a cell phone, or possibly laughing so hard that conversation became impossible. After the pause, No no no, all I need to know is are the blue? Do my phone have blue teeth? That's what I said! Also, I downloaded Ms. Pac Man for my phone too, and what I want to know is why is it that every time she eats a power pellet she won't turn? That's right. Every time that bitch eats a power pellet the ghosts get her! She won't turn. Why is that?"
Finally he got off the phone, having figured out that his phone's teeth were not, unfortunately, blue. By this time, the kid behind me had stopped caring about sending the man any ringtones via Bluetooth and was back on the phone telling someone how some fine fuckin bitches" had just gotten on the bus and he was lookin to fuck in the bathroom!" He eventually hung up and asked the two quiet kids across the aisle if they had any weed. The one closest answered no and tried to go back to listening to his headphones, but the kid seemed more interested in sparking up a conversation. His next question was to ask the two if they'd ever done any time in prison. The same guy replied that they'd just both gotten out of a work farm where they'd spent that past 18 months. The thuggy white kid responded with an enthusiastic, Daaaamn, that's tight! I was thinkin' about stealing a car up in Portland!"
Then the man started playing his ringtone over and over again, and between that and the kid behind me vocally asserting how he needed to fuck right away I was going slightly crazy. Finally, I just asked the man if he wouldn't mind turning his phone down a little bit. I half-expected to get yelled at, but was surprised when he said, Sure thing. I didn't realize it was bothering anyone." But then he hastened to add, Hey, you don't by any chance have something I could eat? I'm really hungry. I tried to buy some pizza in Medford but they wouldn't cash a check and I left my ATM card in Oceanside this morning." So I gave him a bag of trail mix and went to sleep, but not before he told me that he was going to rob a Pizza Hut at the next stop if that's what it took. 45 minutes later we arrived in Portland and I went to Pat Smith's house to sleep.
The next morning Pat had to go to work, so David, Dennis, Huck and I went to Burnside. The obvious first stop.
I did a backside smith on the cinderblock wall. I love Burnside.
Caveat: The rest of this blog is going to be fairly skate-intensive. If you're not into that, you might want to bail now.
Pat was busy working during the 100 degree days, so he lent me his car to check out some of the new parks that Portland just can't seem to get enough of.
Glenhaven was first.
David is our new intern at Lowcard. Sometimes Jonah the sales guy gets him too stoned to work. He leaves early on those days.
Pier Park was next. It's fucking massive.
Then back to Pat, Derrick, and Brandon's for a summertime guitar jam/barbecue.
We began to play this little game where one of us would stand at the farthest end of the yard (wearing safety glasses, of course) and someone else would take potshots with a bb gun. The more bb's you avoided, the better you did at the game. Well, maybe game" isn't the most accurate term. We didn't tally points or anything; we mainly just got drunk and shot each other. There's a name for this type of behavior: idiocy.
Pat shot me before I was ready, so I punched him in the chest. He complained about chest pains for two weeks afterwards, which just goes to show what a pussy he is.
After skating some more the next day, we began the circuit of Portland stripclubs. For those of you who've never had the pleasure, let me clarify something: when you go to Portland, it is inevitable that you'll end up at one or more stripclubs. Portland is just one of those places where there's no weird stigma attached with going to look at naked boobies and have a beer. Girls go too. Beers are cheap, and most clubs will have good, cheap food. At Mary's Club, for instance, you'll find Portland's finest burrito and $2 beers. The Magic Garden, just up the way, is the perfect dive barthe kind you'd go to in your hometownonly as an added bonus, there are boobies! The Acropolis has a salad bar. We went there for breakfast and got omelets and homefries and tons of pancakes while the before noon b-team dancers chatted us up. Ever wonder where bad tattoos, knife scars, botched boob jobs, and c-sections go to die? Wonder no more
These fine items were for sale in the men's room:
Bill Clinton BJ references are pretty dated. Actually, were they ever funny to anyone who doesn't love Bill O'Reilly? Also, instant pussy?" What the fuck could that possibly be? Unfortunately, I was out of quarters.
Later on we drove to the new park in Battleground, Washington, which is about 30 minutes outside of Portland. This park is wonderful. I can't say enough good things about it. It only further reinforces my desire to live in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. Big cities never get it right, but little hamlets like Battleground, made up only of a main drag and a few dusty shops, somehow manage to get a 60,000 square foot concrete masterpiece. Oh well. (Aside: Remember when there was a lot more skate-related stuff on fecal? Remember the fecal face games of skate? I hereby challenge Trippe to a game of skate. Burn!)
I've been honing my photojournalism skills by taking photos of kids at skateparks. Is that still considered art? Anyone?
This unfortunate youngster was busted for tagging on a barn behind the park. I hate the cops as much as the next skateboarder, but I couldn't blame them this time. The kid strolled nonchalantly through the parking lot, past the cops (who were pretty much just hanging out, not doing a god damned thing), and spray painted some shit on the wall. Fuck. Sheer balls or simple stupidity? Dude, go for it! Stick it to the man by writing your name on a barn, but maybe a little foresight perhaps? Maybe wait until the cops are gone? He was bummed.
We left Battleground, mostly due to the 105 degree heat, and drove back towards Portland. On the way we stopped at 7-11 because it was rumored that they were giving away free Slurpees all day because of some promotion with the Simpsons movie. Well, we got there and it was true! It was also awesome! You could just hang out by the Slurpee machine and treat yourself! I saw a little fat kid with blue and red stains all around his mouth. He had that look of pure, unbridled sugar-lust in his eyes; he was wonked out of his mind! He told me in a herky-jerk squeal, I had thirteen Slurpees!" and then ran down the aisle, knocking things over and screaming. It was wonderful.
Back at Pat's it was decided to go and skate some more. Steve Healy was there. We went to Australia one time, which was also awesome. It was on that very same trip that Jerry Mraz and I found ourselves in possession of one of those neat Audi sports cars. I won't go into extensive detail, but it belonged to a prostitute! If you run into me at the bar, I'll be happy to elaborate.
We went swimming with Rob. He's pretty rad and has one of my favorite nicknames of all time: the Vanilla Gorilla. It's because his hair is practically white and he's a big dude. Go figure.
George and Amy live up in Portland as well. They're married so it's not sinful when they touch each other with lust in their hearts. But f.y.i. guys, it kind of makes everyone else in the room feel kind of weird.
Leonard Houx was also there. He, just like Steve, Pat, and I, used to live in Brooklyn. Those were the days! No responsibilities, no jobs. Pat, Dan Pensyl, Damian Rodriguez, Dave Mason and I lived in this great squat and all we did was skate. I went to school, but that was about it. We had a pretty severe rat infestation problem, no heat, and once our pipes burst, but aside from that it was paradise. Josie lived across the street from us and KCDC was just up the way. Man, those were the days. Young and dumb with the world and its possibilities standing wide open! Now we're just dumb. Oh well. Leonard is a librarian.
They have these weird bikes up in Portland where you have to pedal all the time. What the fuck is up with those fucking things? It's like a plague.
We eventually went to this other bar and got kicked out. I have no idea why.
Oh. Right.
There were some other San Francisco dudes in town as well. Timmy Jak didn't like skating Burnside so he shot some hoops.
Josh, on the other hand, looked too emaciated to live much longer. Dude looks like he just came out of Bergen Belsen. I know it's not cool to crack wise about the Holocaust, but if we lose the right to do that we might as well stop telling retard jokes too. And I will never stop telling retard jokes! Ever.
There's this great army surplus store in Portland called Andy and Bax's. I recommend going there. They have bb guns and lots of knives.
Back to skating and photographic lurking. These kids were excellent and for some reason ran to bring me my board every time I ate shit.
In case you didn't notice this little dude's hairdo. At the end of the day, I gave them my board and they practically shit their pants. Little kids can muster this enthusiasm that I'm scarcely capable of anymore. I wish I could still get excited about anything.
See? I can lurk on teenaged girls at the skatepark with the best of them. This young lady had skated right onto her face the previous day. She graciously allowed me to take her photo.
Derrick and I are twins. Aren't we adorable?
Derrick also has crazy eyes."
Pat went to New York but foolishly left me the keys to his car and access to his bedroom. That night we had a party! Screw you, Pat! Wicked burn! Although to his credit, Pat seemed genuinely disappointed that I didn't do sex to any girls in his bed while he was away. (Although I did rub one out while looking at his internet. Burn!)
There were fireworks.
And then we played the shooting game again. Although this time at a much closer range. Brandon shot the crap out of me and I had to dig the bb out with my knife. My leg turned all purple and infected and two days later I discovered a shred of denim in the wound. Awesome!
I went inside the house and discovered this:
It was an unholy alliance of booze, cake, watermelon, and butcher knives.
I also finally discovered what happens when you throw cake and a bucket of fried chicken into a ceiling fan.
Someone called Pat and told him that the house was in shambles. This was his response:
The next morning I was greeted by the sight of Huck's toes.
That's right: COMA-TOES.
There was also a bug and this weird sign. Let the immigration policy commenting begin!
So much more happened in Portland, but I don't want to waste your entire day. This blog has been just about long enough. Although Timmy Jak did get kicked out of this dance club one night. When I saw him he was being manhandled down a set of stairs by some humorless and gigantic bouncers. I tried to intervene and stopped him to ask why he was being thrown out. He stopped in the middle of the stairs, two bouncers still grabbing him by the neck, and said, Because these two assholes don't have a sense of humor!" Then they threw him down the stairs. Turns out he'd tried to set our friend Bahram on fire.
Oh well. There's no life lesson hidden in any of this. It was just a bunch of stuff that happened. If I did learn anything, it was purely coincidental. But isn't it funny how many people get bummed out by the things you do? As if what anyone does has anything at all to do with anyone else. Everything you do is purely solipsistic. We never truly consider the consequences of our actions in advance and never set out to ruin anyone else's good times. It's just that everyone's ideas of happiness are separate and oftentimes mutually exclusive. People like to flatter themselves, though, and like to read into things and find a subtext that simply doesn't exist.
This has nothing to do with anything, but I felt it warranted mentioning.
I say this: Do what you're going to do. Learn what you need to learn and see what you need to see. Don't listen for an instant to anyone who says you are incapable of doing what you truly want to. If they get upset by you trying to live your life, it's really a matter of them being upset with themselves.
Fish wrote a Dr. Seuss quote on the bottom of one of his skateboards one time. It ended with this: Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
Platitudes, platitudes, platitudes.

Program provides employment opportunities for older Pennsylvanians
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a federally funded, community service and work-based training program that provides subsidized job training and employment opportunities for people age 55 and older who are unemployed or whose employment outlook is poor. Through SCSEP, older individuals can benefit by becoming more economically self-sufficient, and businesses benefit by being able to make use of qualified and reliable employees. The funding for SCSEP in Elk County is distributed through PathStone, a not-for-profit community development and human service organization that provides services in Pennsylvania and several other states. Marianne BoLee, a Pathstone representative and the training and employment specialist for SCSEP in Elk County, said participants are placed at various nonprofit or public facilities such as senior centers, hospitals and schools to develop skills and experiences that will lead to more permanent employment. On average, participants work about 20 hours per week at and are paid minimum wage at the state or federal level, whichever is highest, while they receive on-the-job training. "It's not intended as a lifelong income. It's intended as a stepping stone to help them financially," BoLee said. BoLee said there are 27 people currently enrolled in the program in Elk County. Some are looking for work, but have outdated skills; some have lost their jobs due to layoffs or business closings; and others have never worked outside of the home, but want to or need to do so at their current stage in life. BoLee explained that older workers bring maturity, stability, people skills and a wealth of life experience to the table, and help to fill current gaps in the workforce. While they are supplementing or learning new skills through SCSEP, she said, they are also gaining confidence in their abilities. "They may think, 'Who's going to hire me?' That's not true," BoLee said. "The placement of older workers is seen as an effective and cost-saving resource for employers."There are approximately 20 active SCSEP training sites in Elk County, including LIFT, Goodwill, Dickinson Apartments and Trinity United Methodist Church in Ridgway, HUD in Johnsonburg, the Johnsonburg Community Center and Fox Manor in Kersey. Nine more sites are waiting for participants. For more on this story, see the Nov. 5 edition of The Daily Press.

A Baby Elephant is Coming
Rosie at the Rio Grande Zoo is going to pop. She's been with child for about two years. (Elephants are preggers for 22 to 24 months.) The baby, guaranteed to be absurdly cute, should be trundling around any day now. It could be August. It could be September.
Rosie, 16, was born at the zoo, and she's out on exhibit now. Unless she births her calf unexpectedly, it will probably be a private affair—unlike the showy display that giraffe put on.

An instructor gave me his business card. It stated that he had won a certain event decades ago.
I mentioned this to my son, who was about 17 at the time. He said, "you'd think he'd have gotten over it by now."
In Karate, we do not stop and look back at our accomplishments.
I discussed this with my friend at lunch today. He is an Aikido sensei. He said that some Aikido students do the same thing when they throw someone. After throwing, they keep their hand extended as if to dwell on it. Once something is done, you let it go... and move on to the next thing. You should not remain attached.
Another thing we say is that when you face the sun, your shadow is always at your back. If you turn to see your shadow, you are moving in the wrong direction. You accomplishments should follow you quietly like a shadow. In the evening of your life it will grow long.
I make it a point not to state my Karate rank or title on my business card or even at my dojo website. The only place it appears is on a members listing of a senior instructors group to which I belong.

PowerColor Radeon HD 6870 PCS+ Call Of Duty Edition Review
Released to the world just over a month ago, the HD 6800 series has refined the $200~$250 price/performance point with a refined architecture that allowed AMD to shrink the amount of internal hardware while still maintaining the desired level of performance. To that end we have looked at the reference cards and found that they indeed fit well into this envelope, with performance in most cases above that of the HD 5850 and sometimes higher than the HD 5870. This card from PowerColor is the first non reference sample of the HD 6870 here at OverclockersClub. We have looked at several of the HD 6850 variants, including the PCS+ version by PowerColor, and have found the non reference HD 6850 cards offering excellent performance and overclocking headroom. The PowerColor HD 6870 PCS+ Call of Duty Edition video card is equipped with higher clock speeds on both the memory and the Barts core to the tune of 940MHz and 1100MHz, respectively. Not only do you get the increased clock speeds but the cooling solution is definitely not the reference solution and should run cooler and quieter than what comes stock on the cards directly from AMD. Let's see if the HD 6870 PCS+ can live up to the performance heritage of the PCS+ lineup and see how well it compares to the reference design in gaming performance, overclocking ability, thermal performance and power consumption.
Closer Look:
The packaging of the PowerColor HD 6870 PCS+ features a dark theme with a low profile high performance car on the front. The front lists several of the car's attributes, such as the four monitor Eyefinity support, connectivity options, the inclusion of the game Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, the amount of onboard memory and that this card is part of PowerColor's PCS+ series. The front profile of the card on the front panel looks eerily similar to the profile of the heatsink shroud. The back panel goes into more detail on the AMD specific technologies that this card supports or uses that include DirectX 11, AMD HD3D and CrossfireX.
Inside the outer sleeve is the box that contains the HD 6870 PCS+ and its accessory bundle. Flip open the lid and you can see the card in its anti static bag and underneath is the accessory bundle.
The accessory bundle that is included in the PowerColor HD6870 PCS+ includes a quick start guide in multiple languages, a driver disc, a brochure with all of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare information, including a product key redeemable through Steam, a CrossfireX bridge connector, Mini DisplyPort to DisplayPort dongle and a DVI to VGA adapter. There are no power adapters included at this point as the assumption is that most current power supplies will have the required dual 6-pin PEG connectors.
Let's dig into this card and see what it has to offer.

Ensemble of Antigone by Sophocles, translated by Seamus Heaney, directed by Alexander Harrington, in a production at Clemson University that was preparatory to the current production at La MaMa E.T.C.
The either/or of Antigone, then and now
By Jerry Tallmer
Sophocles gave us Antigone early in the 4th century B.C. Irelands Nobel Prizewinner Seamus Heaney gave us The Burial at Thebes, his poetic current-vernacular translation of Antigone, early in the 21st.
In the Heaney 2004 rendering, a good share of the words, and the mind-set, of Creon, King of Thebes rigidly determined to put Antigone to death for violating his edict to let the corpse of her brother, Polynices, rot on the open ground for dogs and vultures to feed on have the ring of someone rather familiar to most us these past six years.
The throne has come to me.
Until a man has passed this test of office
And proved himself in the exercise of power
He cant be truly known for what he is, I mean,
In his heart and mind and capabilities
My nerves not going to fail
This is where I stand when it comes to Thebes:
Never to grant traitors and subversives
Equal footing with loyal citizens,
But to honour patriots in life and death
Get her [Antigone] away from here.
And the other one [her sister Ismene].
Women were never meant for this assembly.
From now on theyll be kept in place again.
Thats where the parallel breaks down, because, for better or for worse, our latter-day Creon does have his Condi, not to mention his Laura.
Alexander Harrington, the large, enthusiastic soon-to-be-40-year-old director of The Burial at Thebes that opened January 25 for a hitch through February 11 at La MaMa, cant help agreeing to some extent with what Garry Wills wrote in a review at the time of the Heaney texts publication.
Wills said the poetry is beautiful, but that Heaney irons out some of Sophocless criticism of Antigone, who is also guilty of hubris.
What Wills more directly wrote: There are good reasons for opposing the invasion of Iraq, but none that Sophocles can provide.
What Heaney himself has written in a postscript to his translation is, in part: Just as Creon forced the citizens of Thebes into an either/or situation in relation to Antigone, the Bush administration in the White House was using the same tactic to forward an argument for war on Iraq.
But the persona of Creon in earlier translations, says director Harrington, is not so much about power as what is necessary to govern.
Alex Harrington was 21 when his father, radical Roman Catholic Irish-American Socialist author of the high-impact The Other America: Poverty in the United States, died of cancer at 61, in 1989, leaving behind wife Stephanie Gervis Harrington and their sons Alex and Edward Michael, called Ted.
What would your father (a friend of this journalist) have thought of the political edge in Heaneys Antigone?
I think my father and I had similar views. I find ambiguity more powerful than didacticism. In Sophocles, this is not just an anti-Creon play. On the other hand, my job as director is to serve the playwright.
I think my father would agree. But there was one thing he would always correct me on, when I was a kid. He would sort of snap at me when I made my wise-ass wisecracks about conservatives [such as another friend of Michael Harrington, William F. Buckley, Jr.].
My father once said to me: I would trust Bill Buckley with you and your brother if anything happened to Stephanie and me. And when I made a wise-ass remark about John Wayne, he said: Never judge an artist by his politics. Which is true. I mean look at Dostoevski and The Brothers Karamazov.
Alex Harrington his brother is a lawyer came out of Columbia University with a B.A. in 1990, out of Louisiana State with an M.F.A. in Theater in 2002. The direction of Antigone was sort of thrust on him when, during a 2005 job interview at Clemson University, South Carolina, he confessed to a special interest in tragedy.
That had begun when I read Nietzches Birth of Tragedy, a nutty book but inspiring, and a good practical guide to any director.
Before Clemson, where he is now an assistant professor of Theater, he had been merrily involved Off-Off-Broadway while working at the Acker Merrall wine shop on West 72nd Street.
Inspired by the ritualistic achievements of Ellen Stewart, Andre Serban, and Elizabeth Swados, in 1997 he mounted a big reversed-stage production at La MaMa of the Agamemnon of Aeschylus. Two years later he founded the Eleventh Hour Theatre Company which bowed at La MaMa with Henry V. He there has since done Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2 and the forementioned Brothers Karamazov.
The Burial at Thebes Harrington brings now to Ellen Stewarts emporium has Carman Moore as composer, Harrington as director, and recent Clemson student Claire Pavlich so its three generations as choreographer.
Heading the large cast are Jessica Crandall as Antigone, Frank Anderson as Creon, Louise Flory as Ismene, Raymond McAnally as First Guard, John McCarthy as Haemon (Creons son, lover of Antigone), and Liz Forst as the angry blind prophet, Tiresias.
Alex Harrington considers himself more of a textural director than Ellen Stewart, who famously and openly has little use for dramas full of words. But, but
Ellen has said to me some day Im going to put this on a wall Youre the only director of these word plays that I can sit through the whole thing. I sat through the whole of your Henry V. Do you know what that means?
The Burial at Thebes has lots of words. All Seamus Heaneys. Some, even, by Sophocles.
THE BURIAL AT THEBES. By Seamus Heaney, from the original by Sophocles. Directed by Alexander Harrington. Through February 11 at La MaMa E.T.C., 74-A East 4th Street, (212) 475-7710.

A 56-year-old Stoughton man was arrested on a second offense drunk driving charge in Brockton Friday night.
BROCKTON - A 56-year-old Stoughton man was charged with second offense drunk driving Friday night after police said he drove into a Brockton police cruiser.
Gary Kovner was driving north on N. Main Street in Brockton just before 10:30 p.m. when he struck a police vehicle's driver's side mirror, Sgt. Charles Cassiani said.
Officer William Devine was inside the vehicle assisting State Police with another traffic stop at the time. He was uninjured in the crash.
Cassiani said Kovner proceeded to drive away from the scene and was stopped by Devine nearby. Devine detected signs of intoxication and had Kovner perform field sobriety tests.
Kovner was arrested after the tests, Cassiani said. He was also charged with leaving the scene of property damage and a marked lanes violation.

I read Havi's post on Re-explaining the Right People concept today, and feel inspired to tell my how-I-found-Havi story here because it is my best (living, organic) self-reminder of the whole idea of Right People. It was my moment of zing! that gave me a visceral (in a good way!) right-people experience that I draw on to this day.
Back when I was a wimp…
About 15 months ago I read an item in Pam Slim's blog, Escape from Cubicle Nation, recommending Havi and Naomi's course, Non-Icky Self-Promotion for People Who Hate Self-Promotion (otherwise fondly known as Self-Promotion for Wimps). The course has been over for more than a year, and you can now finally get it as a home-study package, by the way. (Yep, those are totally affiliate links. I'm sure you can find the page another way if you'd rather not use them.)
I had never heard of either Havi or Naomi before. But on Pam's recommendation, I clicked through to the sales page.
And I was suddenly in a new world. I had never, ever, ever read a sales page like this. In fact, it didn't feel like a sales page at all. I felt safe. I felt respected and appreciated and invited.
I knew instantly, bone-deep and with total clarity, that I had to be in this course, because I wanted to meet these people who could write such an amazing sales page. I wanted to learn how it was possible to create sales pages like that, because I wanted my future customers to have the same moment of zing! when they read my sales pages.
There was no internal "should I or shouldn't I?" There was no worrying about "will it be worth it?" I never felt like I was being persuaded or convinced (let alone manipulated). As I read, I became sure that a course this wonderful would be way out of my price range, so when I got to the price, I was amazed that it was so affordable. It was truly a no-brainer to sign up.
Yes, I believed there would be some practical benefit to the course, but honestly my biggest desire was simply to hang out with Havi and Naomi (which was why I knew I had to buy the VIP option). And I've been doing it ever since.
In search of The Perfect Sales Page
I've thought a lot about marketing tactics and sales pages and my experience interacting with them (both as a consumer and as a marketer) since I took that course.
For a long time I believed that Havi and Naomi had some special and mysterious marketing smarts and writing skills and pricing methodologies that allowed them to create sales pages that were better than anyone else's. And I wanted to learn that stuff.
Now, not to knock their marketing/copywriting/pricing smarts at all, because I have learned tons about all three of those things from hanging out with them, but it's only in the last few months that I've truly understood that that sales page wasn't The One and Only Unquestioned Perfect Paragon of All Sales Pages that I should model Forevermore Without Question.
There is no perfect sales page (when "perfect" means perfect for everyone). Like there is no perfect product or website or business. There are only varying degrees of matching up, or resonating if you prefer, of rightness, between buyer and seller.
That sales page resonated with me. It was perfect…for me. I was a right person for that class, because I was (still am) a right person for Havi and Naomi. There were plenty of other right people for that class. And there were some people who would have read that sales page and had no reaction at all.
I'm OK, and I guess you're not crazy either
This was brought home to me a couple of months ago on a forum where I'm a member. Someone asked for feedback on a sales page, and another member recommended that the asker check out Havi's sales pages, and the asker replied saying that Havi's sales pages had always left him kind of flat. He wasn't dissing her or her products, or in any way being a jerk, just saying that he didn't have much of a response to the sales pages.
And my initial (in my head) reaction was are you crazy? How can you not have a response to the most perfect sales pages in the universe? Which was like a big hello?!? moment because of course the guy wasn't crazy. He's got marketing smarts, copywriting skills, and stuff to say (I like him and read his blog). He's just not resonating on the same frequency as Havi. His ideal sales page is another style.
So I'm getting increasing clarity around the idea that smart people can disagree about the effectiveness of marketing, websites, sales pages, etc. and it doesn't mean that some of them have to be wrong.
Does the concept of Right People imply that there are Wrong People?
My answer is no. I've been using the term Right People for, oh, several months at least, maybe a year, and although I might have talked about people being "not as right" or "not quite right" or even "not my right people," I don't think it's ever occurred to me to use the label "wrong people."
When I think about people being "not so right" for me or my business, it's not with an intention of exclusion…it's more like a willingness to let go.
I don't shove them away. They self-select.
And we both win. I firmly believe that.
It's not a loss to me for the person to not come into my orbit (or for them to wander by and then leave). And it doesn't hurt or reject them to not come into my orbit.
So it can only benefit me, and my Right People, to work on tuning my own frequency so that my right people can hear it really clearly. And my doing so doesn't hurt the people who can't hear it (or who would simply rather not).
So I'll be here, tapping and tuning and tweaking, and sharing what I learn along the way. Have a listen. See if it sounds good to you. Either way, it's all good.

Odds are the next set of Powerball winners will collect a lot more moolah than the current advertised record jackpots.
The official estimates: $425 million for the annuity, $278.3 million for the cash. Both are Powerball records.
The annuity jackpot jumped by another record, $100 million, when no one hit all the numbers drawn Saturday night: 22, 32, 37, 44 and 50, with a Powerball of 34.
Before the dust settles, though, gigantic jackpots usually wind up sweetened by many millions.
The bigger the jackpot, the more likely this will happen.
In August, a Powerball jackpot advertised at $320 million wound up landing at $337 million. The cash -- which the Michigan winner chose -- rose from $213.3 million to $224.6 million.
In February, a Powerball jackpot touted as $310 million wound up paying $336.4 million.
But what happened in March with Mega Millions was far more mind-boggling.
The annuity jackpot rolled over to $500 million for the March 30 drawing -- a staggering jump of $144 million from the previous drawing.
But that half-billion completely underestimated the ensuing buying frenzy. Before the drawing, the jackpot was revised three times, to a staggering $640 million.
And when it came time to pay the three winners -- in Maryland, Illinois and Kansas -- the actual amount was put at $656 million.
That's $156 million more than the original estimate.
In just a few days.
That was the only jackpot bigger than this Powerball prize.
So, stay tuned. It could be a crazy couple of days.
If no one hits Wednesday night, it will be a crazy week, perhaps with jackpot figures never seen before.
Folks nationwide might be asking about a funny smell -- and find out it's smoke coming from countless constantly cranking lottery machines.
Powerball jackpot at $425 million for Wednesday drawing -- for now
Odds are the next set of Powerball winners will collect a lot more moolah than the current advertised record jackpots.

Thing thing that blows my mind is that they actually kept any records at all about such a heinous crime occurring in their midst if they didn't plan on reporting it. I mean, who keeps incriminating evidence like that laying around if they don't want people to find out about it?

Style # 209133
Logo Block Stripes Sweater is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bust40 from The product is a good design. But the one you send me has a poor workmanship, the one white stripe in the front was not straight. Should check all products before send out by mail ,because customers cannot pick the better one just like if they were shopping in the store ! If we are not happy we will not trust the on-line shopping any more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DeCarlo from Great Top I LOVE this top. Got the navy and white and can't wait to wear it with a pair of white capri pants and navy and white spectator heels. It has a sweater feel and is super soft and comfy, fits true to size. I am a size 16 and got the xl. I'm thinking about getting it in black also. Gals, buy it, buy it, buy it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SewerGal from Sexy and cute I purchased the blue and white top, and it fits perfect, I am a true size medium in Bebe clothes. The sweater is comfortable, good material, not thin or too thick, and soft. This will look great with a pair of leggings or jeans.

Disclaimer and Safety Warnings
Some of the procedures described in this document require access to dangerous voltages, hazardous laser radiation, moving mechanical parts, and other potential risks to personal safety and damage to equipment and property. The authors and contributors to this document will not be held responsible for any direct or collateral damage which might result from following the suggestions or recommendations contained herein including but not limited to: shock, burns, electrocution, vaporization, meltdowns, torn flesh, destruction of the equipment, and local or planetary wide power disruptions or implosions.
While printers are not generally considered dangerous pieces of equipment (compared to TV, monitors, and microwave ovens, at least), some types - laser printers in particular - present a variety of hazards that should not be underestimated. In addition, photocopiers - particularly larger high speed machines - need to be treated with great respect while servicing.
There are minimal dangers in servicing most printers. However, there may be exposed line voltage near the line cord and long hair or neck-ties may be sucked in along with paper! Laser printers have their lasers but these are generally located such that accidental exposure to the beam is minimized. The toner in copiers, plain paper faxes, and laser printers may be harmful if inhaled and is a potential fire/explosion risk if carelessly vacuumed. Each of these possible safety issues is discussed below with additional specific information in the chapters for the equipment to which it applies. All in all, working on printers is relatively low risk.
The first set of items applies to all line operated printers:
The following apply to laser printers and photocopiers:
And finally, for laser printers and laser photocopiers:
Fortunately, under normal conditions, the laser beam will not be turned on unless all interlocks are closed and a page is actually being printed and/or will be in constant motion as a result of the scanning mirror (which reduces the risk considerably). (It is virtually impossible to get to the laser beam before the scanning mirror without total disassembly.) However, certain failure modes could result in a stationary beam which ignores the interlocks so take care whenever working on a laser printer with the covers removed.

TURN BACK THE CLOCK – 1981 park
As part of the new look of www.AllstateSugarBowl.org, the website's history section has been greatly expanded. The history section includes many stories that highlight the rich tradition from the first 75 years of the Classic, including stories on No. 1 teams and Heisman Trophy winners, a ranking of the top Sugar Bowls of all-time, photo galleries of the game's Most Valuable Players and all of the game program covers, as well as recaps and statistics from each game. The site's history section will continue to expand and this week, the Allstate Sugar Bowl turns back the clock to 1981 when 77,896 fans, including President Jimmy Carter, watched a young freshman back by the name of Herschel Walker score a pair of touchdowns to lead Georgia to a national championship with a 17-10 win over Notre Dame.
Click here for the 1981 recap.
