text: Wild Markets February 26, 2013 08:32 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email Strategies for volatile times Don't become too sanguine about crop prices. "Within 18 months, prices could fall below the cost of production," says Mark Gold, president and CEO, Top Third Ag Marketing. "It's the market's job to run inefficient producers out of business." He's not the only one concerned. "With 91 million acres and trend yields of 161 bu. per acre, prices at harvest could be $3 to $4 per bushel," says Kevin Van Trump, market analyst. "I'm more bearish than I've been the last two to three years. Yields above 143 bu. per acre will give us the biggest crop in history if we harvest 91 million to 92 million acres." "I don't believe the market will wait two to three days after a rain so producers can price their crops." It's all about Mother Nature. With a corn yield of 145 bu., Van Trump predicts corn will trade in the $5 to $7 range. "Another severe drought and a yield similar to last year, prices could go to $10. If funds come back in, the markets could explode." Thus far, producers have been sitting largely on the marketing sidelines. "The average producer has done little marketing of 2013 corn and soybeans," says Dave Fogel, vice president, Advance Trading. "I don't remember a year with less booked." He thinks that's a mistake. Many producers are waiting until there is a rain in the Western Corn Belt before making any forward sales, Fogel says. "I don't believe the market will wait two to three days after a rain so producers can price their crops," Fogel says. "A $1 to $1.50 market drop on new crop corn and we could be flirting with break-even." In his view, it's a possibility. Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group, says it's possible that more corn inventory exists on farms than indicated in USDA's Jan. 11 stocks report. "If the market embraces similar conclusions, price rallies can evaporate quicker than they materialized," he says. Gulke admits there is no proof yet that this actually is true, but based on recent conversations with producers, it's a distinct possibility. "Within 18 months, prices could fall below the cost of production." In addition, given the huge demand reduction that was necessary due to short corn crop, it would only take an average yield of 125 bu. per acre on 99 million acres planted to get by, Gulke says. "Many are worried about the drought, but the dry areas are getting smaller and moist areas are getting smaller, suggesting that even a 152 bu. per acre yield would be problematic from a price/supply standpoint," he notes. It would be tough to get back the billion bushels of lost demand if producers grow more, not to mention the problem if producers grow 2 billion bushels more, he says. Even if corn yields are sub-trend in 2013 and come in at 150 to 155 bu. per acre, prices could tumble with corn acres nearing 100 million, Gold says. "I don't think we will see another drought like last year. If we do, we will run out of grain and could see $8 to $9 per bu. corn and $20 to $21 soybeans. He cautions producers not to count on that. "More likely is that yields in 2013 could be shockingly high," Gold says. If so, corn prices could be on their way to $2.90. What concerns Gold the most is that corn production could increase substantially at the same time demand has fallen. "You will produce more of what the world wants less of," he states. Corn demand is in the tank. Exports are around 150,000 metric tons per week when they should be 500,000. Feed is the bright spot for the corn market." Because of the risks facing producers with the potential of price swings, Gold advocates the use of options. "The only way I know how to manage risk is with long options," he says. "You can buy a $5.40 corn put for 30¢ that establishes a $5.10 floor." Producers who think prices are headed to $9 or $10 can buy a call option to protect the upside if they have already made cash sales. By the first of March, corn could fall to $5 per bushel, he adds, and $3.50 by the end of June. "You can protect against that with puts." However, he says that it's a mistake to sell calls to cover the cost of puts by selling call options and open producers up to the risk of a margin call if there is a drought. Look at History. Recent history suggests how much risk the market provides, he says. In 2008, soybean futures reached $16, but within three months crashed to $7.90. Fogel does not believe in changing marketing strategies radically from year to year. Too often, he says, producers market based on what happened the previous year. A better way, he says, is to write down your marketing plan, then execute it. "The market does not pay you to hold onto your bushels for the 2012 harvest," he adds. Producers can sell grain in the cash market, but re-own it with call options that gives them upside protection should prices take a sharp turn upwards, Fogel says. For producers who have not used options and are not excited about 30¢ premiums, Fogel suggests getting started with short put or call options. These have a shorter time frame, but may only cost 15¢. The downside to using them is that once the options expire producers have no price protection compared to a traditional long option. Options are not static and must be managed, he says. Fogel does not favor basis contracts. If the basis is strong, he thinks it far better to sell grain in the cash market to capture strong basis, then protect the potential for stronger futures prices with a call option. "It's important to have a flexible marketing strategy," Fogel adds. He also is not a big fan of scale-up selling because he has seen too many producers sell too much when prices are low and not enough when prices are high. "Instead of scale-up sales, buy an option and be done with it," he says. He disagrees with the statement some have made that 95% of options expire worthless. "That's impossible," Fogel says. That would imply that the trades have no value to either buyers or sellers, which Fogel believes is implausible. Three steps can help producers determine market direction, in the view of Van Trump: traditional fundamentals and trend analysis; macro factors influencing the market; and following money flows, in particular the behavior of index funds in commodity markets. Van Trump pays special notice of Brazil and not only its production. For example, while producing more corn, it will be using more of it internally. "Five new ethanol plants in Brazil are corn-based," he says. Declining Ethanol Demand. In the U.S., he notes that 5 billion bushels of corn were used for ethanol during 2012, but no more than 4.2 to 4.5 billion in 2013. He sees potential good news on corn exports from China. "If corn declines to $4 or $4.50, China will be a huge corn buyer. China is a price buyer of corn and a quantity buyer of soybeans." Van Trump says soybean acreage of 77 million to 78 million and yields of 42-43 bu. per acre will result in a big carryover. That's on top of the potential of a very large crop in South America, he adds. Van Trump advises producers to look at new crop prices of $13.30 or better. "Old crop, meanwhile, has rallied because of logistical problems in Brazil," Van Trump says. "Beans aren't getting to the ports." He suggests using old crop rallies as an opportunity to price new crop beans. "I would hold onto old crop until late March or April, however, when the U.S. runs out of beans." On strategy, Van Trump recommends three sales zones: sell 30% to 40% pre-planting, 20% to 30% during the growing season, and 30% to 50% post-harvest. Van Trump has future price concerns. "Money is flowing into agriculture right now. Investors are seeing the profits you are making. But when interest rates and the stock market go up, short-term investors will pour out of agriculture."

For Dallas Green, past and present remain one
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- The Federal Building in Oklahoma City was Port St. Lucie, Fla. Columbine was Cincinnati. And 9/11 was Pittsburgh. Never will my whereabouts on the days of those sickening occurrences fade from my memory, no more than the classroom in which I sat when word of the shooting of John F. Kennedy was relayed by a history teacher who had lost all color in his face.
The too many other episodes of sickening public slaughter now are parts of a blur. I can't recall where I was when Virginia Tech was shot up, or when Aurora, Colo., was the dateline for more sad news. Or even my location when the massacre of Newtown happened. One episode was too many, of course. Multiple episodes blur the lines and datelines and dull the senses.
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- The Federal Building in Oklahoma City was Port St. Lucie, Fla. Columbine was Cincinnati. And 9/11 was Pittsburgh. Never will my whereabouts on the days of those sickening occurrences fade from my memory, no more than the classroom in which I sat when word of the shooting of John F. Kennedy was relayed by a history teacher who had lost all color in his face.
The too many other episodes of sickening public slaughter now are parts of a blur. I can't recall where I was when Virginia Tech was shot up, or when Aurora, Colo., was the dateline for more sad news. Or even my location when the massacre of Newtown happened. One episode was too many, of course. Multiple episodes blur the lines and datelines and dull the senses.
Yet each time since Jan. 8, 2011, that an armed madman has made me wonder about the current applicability of the Second Amendment, my mind quickly has gone, not to a place I had been when dreadful news reached me, but to the one man I knew personally whose life has been forever damaged by that sort of revolting violence -- Dallas Green.
In February 2011, some five weeks after his granddaughter, Christina-Taylor Green, was murdered by a bullet from the gun of Jared Lee Loughner, Green stood outside the Phillies' Spring Training complex here wearing sunglasses that failed to hide the moisture around his eyes. He spoke publicly of "that special little gal" for the first time.
I asked him then, when he was age 76, whether he had enough life left to heal. He shook his head from side to side. Green had moved no closer by Thursday morning, as he sat in an office at the Phillies' complex and again dealt with the most profound heartache of his time.
I'd been wrong to think that each instance of mass murder since the death of his granddaughter and five others had picked at a scab. No scab ever had formed for him, no healing ever had happened. The wound has been treated by time and well-wishers. But it remains open and raw.
"I can tear up with the best of them," Green said Thursday without sunglasses. A few times during our 40-minute conversation, he paused or swallowed or looked for a place to fix his stare. The pain remains as evident as his thick white hair of the man who is the valedictorian of baseball's old school.
I wasn't intent on touching a nerve. But since Newtown, I'd been searching for a means of expressing my own sorrow and rage. I have a public forum, but it's for baseball, Dallas Green afforded me the opportunity. I thanked him. We both hope legislation will be the immovable object the next time a Jared Lee Loughner goes to purchase a weapon.
"I didn't understand it then. And I don't get it now," Green said. "Why some folks think it's necessary for anyone to have the right to buy something that will be used only to kill people. They were smart men who put this country on the right course. But they couldn't have imagined where it would lead."
And now small, but sharp knives are to be deemed appropriate for air travel. Did someone forget the term "box-cutter" from Sept. 11, 2001? Who needs a knife when their plane is over Toledo? Neither of us was aware of the Swiss Army Knife lobby.
Green admitted in 2011 to being an avid hunter. He and son John, Christina's father, whose strength was so evident after the shooting, enjoyed the sport. And Green said Thursday that a Thanksgiving family tradition had been skeet shooting on the farm. The tradition has carried on in the two Thanksgivings since Christina's death.
But Green acknowledged, "I haven't taken the time to hunt since it happened."
Yes, of course, he's a changed man. Age sometimes makes us more willing to accept change; sometimes it has the opposite effect. Having a beloved granddaughter killed at age 9 because legislation hasn't changed with the times can create a bitterness. Green used that word in unprompted self-description on Thursday.
"I'm not a politician," he said. "I vote for people who are supposed to protect us. The bitterness I have is that I can't understand for the life of me how we let it go on when, I believe, there's been such an increase of nuts out there."
Loughner had intended to kill congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords that day. Christina had a budding interest in politics. Her neighbor took her to the rally outside a supermarket in Tucson. Giffords and other survivors reunited at the scene for the first time Wednesday. Had a scab formed within Green, the gathering would have picked at it.
He was aware of the reunion. He understood why it took place. He characterizes his place, and that of his wife Sylvia in the anti-gun movement, as "supportive but uninvolved." Baseball still occupies much of his time. John has baseball, too, to afford him an escape. Green's daughter-in-law Roxanna, another strong member of a strong family, is quite active. Green says she has met several times with New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
"Life goes on," he says, but the direction it takes is unplanned. He spent much of 2011 creating a scrapbook of "the entire business of Christina" -- cards, poems, photos and news reports. "I was tearing up as I glued the stuff in," he said. "The paper got soggy." That was quite an impromptu exercise.
No one who knows Green had anything approaching a grandfatherly, arts-and-crafts image of him. He did more of the scrapbook work than Sylvia. It was therapeutic. But little else is. When he and the family returned to Providenciales in the West Indies for their annual winter getaway, friends told him being there would help him forget.
"How can I forget?" he says. "Christina was there a week before she was killed."
And the Greens don't necessarily want to forget. "We're not at the point where we hide photos," he says.
The only positive that has come out of the painful ordeal is that Christina's older brother Dallas has made progress. He had been diagnosed as having Asperger disorder before his sister was killed. She was his big sister despite their ages.
"She helped him get through each day," Green said. "She protected him on the school bus, made sure his homework was done. And since she was killed, Little D has come out of the shell of autism. We're thankful. You have to go forward."
Green is Big D -- the upper-case letter stands for decibels. He is collaborating on a book about a lifetime in the game. He has managed the two New York teams and, of course, the Phillies. He essentially forced them to win the 1980 World Series. He put lights in Wrigley Field and, as general manager, the Cubs in the postseason. Which was the greater challenge?
He traded for Ryne Sandberg and surrendered the 100th home run of Jimmy Piersall's career. He shared dugouts with Yogi, Schmiddy, Mattingly, Lefty and scores of others.
And he wonders: "Who'll want to read what I have to say?" He'd prefer to bombard his reader with truth rather than cover-up. It'll be a page-turner entitled the "The Mouth that Roared." Perfect.
Dallas Green has left footprints and fingerprints all over the game, and probably has shattered glass with his booming voice. Sometimes, these days though, his voice loses its power. The decibels diminish. He's speaking of "that special little gal."

If one could summarize the final day of the 50th AYSO National Games, it would be two words. Penalty kicks and ice cream.
Penalty kicks gave Claremont and Cutler wins in the under-14 division girls and boys championship games at the San Pedro Field of Dreams. North Torrance won the girls U-19 championship in a penalty kick shootout with 2012 co-champion Okeeheelee (Fla.)
Yet every kid, win or loss, tasted the sweet reward of competing with medals. Yes, ice cream on a hot day.
That's all Claremont wanted after defeating Lake Forest 1-0 in the girls final on a fourth-quarter penalty kick by Alexis Olesniewicz.
After dousing their coaches in water, they ran to a nearby ice-cream stand and danced around as Olesniewicz recalled how she tried to keep calm in her big moment.
"I was nervous, but I didn't want to miss it," Olesniewicz said of her penalty kick.
In the boys final, Cutler defeated San Pedro 3-2 in similar fashion when Hugo Soto-Guerrero converted his penalty kick in the fourth.
Cutler's win saw it come back from a 2-0 halftime deficit as Ivan Hernandez scored in both the third and fourth quarters to tie the score.
Yet the win saw both teams overcome late red cards as Soto-Guerrero was ejected for celebrating his goal by removing his shirt. A few minutes later, San Pedro saw a player ejected as well. However, neither team let the physical play overshadow a fine game as well as enjoying the experience of being national finalists.
Cutler traveled more than 3 hours for the tournament, and with a strong contingent of fans, they were happy to head back north with national medals as well after dousing head coach Luciano Pena with Gatorade.
"Our hopes came up after that first goal and they knew they could do it. It was an exciting game and we thought they had us after the first half," Cutler assistant coach Mario Tamez said.
Jace Lopez and Jorge Alvarenga scored the two goals for San Pedro, which had to overcome a tough semifinal win over Culver City earlier in the morning that featured eight penalty kicks.
Although losing the final at their home field was tough to shake, head coach Pat Lopez chose to focus on enjoying the last moments with this group of players, most of whom will attend San Pedro or Palos Verdes high schools in the fall.
"I've been with most of these guys for six years and we've won 90 percent of our tournaments, so taking second place is still good," Lopez said, "I'm proud of our kids and their parents."
The same could be said for Claremont, which was about as relieved as it was happy after Olesniewicz's goal gave it the championship. Assistant coach Adam Olesniewicz said the city would throw a parade, but the girls were more happy to be treated with swimming instead.
For North Torrance, it won the penalty shootout 3-2 after a scoreless regulation with Okeeheelee. Kristen Coyne, Aunika Ortiz and Mebra Kisaka converted goals while goalie Ariana Armijo helped preserve the win.
North also survived 2012 co-champion Culver City in the semifinals, winning that match on penalty kicks as well.
South Torrance also won the U-10 girls championship, capping a successful South Bay showing.
The drama was indeed thick on a hot day yet for the 7,000 kids who participated, the feeling of ending their AYSO seasons with friends was sweet and worth the sore legs and tired bodies.
"This was the best soccer experience I've ever had," San Pedro's Andres Rodriguez said, "It was my first year with these guys and they're the best I've been with."

The Dallas Mavericks have announced the signing of O.J. Mayo three days after the free agent shooting guard posted a message on his Twitter account that he was joining the team.
In a statement released Thursday the Mavericks said they weren't disclosing the terms of the deal with the 6-foot-4, 210-pound West Virginian.
Mayo averaged 15.2 points in 301 games over the past four seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies. He was the third overall pick in the 2008 draft by Minnesota, who then traded him to Memphis in a seven-player deal.

One of the great traditions of the year occurs on Sunday. Millions will wake up, get dressed, visit friends or family, go on a search for various treasures, and then shove as much candy, snacks and anything else edible into their mouths until they fall asleep.
But enough about hunting for Easter eggs and enjoying all the chocolate and candy that comes with a visit from the Easter Bunny. No, for many others across the country, Sunday will mean something else altogether. The day coincides with one of the most-important events on the calendar: The High Holy Day for stoners around the world: 4/20 day.
Now, as it become known in popular culture, 4/20 [Four-Twenty, by the way. Not four hundred twenty], has taken on significance as the time of day when its supposed to be \"socially acceptable\" to smoke marijuana, and April 20 is the day when firing up a joint or a bong or a bowl has, for some, become as common as, well, as a visit from the Easter bunny.
Call it a confluence of traditions, or just coincidence on the calendar, but on Sunday, for the first time in 11 years, Easter and 4/20 day will be on the same day. With marijuana for personal use now legal in Washington State and Colorado, and the pot usage seemingly losing its social stigma daily, some are using Sunday\'s observance of public pot smoking as a way of spreading the message of Easter.
\"Celebrate 4/20 with us. Because you can\'t get any higher than risen.\" is what the Freedom Church of Los Angeles is advertising on its Web site . The theme of the church\'s three Easter Sunday services is \"Exploring our chronic search for peace and healing.\"
[For those not in the know, \"The Chronic\" refers to a particular potent strain of marijuana that also provided the title to Dr. Dre\'s classic 1993 hip-hop album, which also introduced proverbial Stoner of the Year, Snoop Dogg to America. Hey, who said a church couldn\'t have a sense of humor about sermonizing?]
Needless to say, many 4/20 \"worshippers\" will be attending \"church\", if you will, in some of the many public displays of pot smoking that will occur around the world.
But if you miss out on all the fun, don\'t worry…Easter and 4/20 day will next occur together in 2025. After that, you\'ll have to wait until 2087 for the collision tradition to meet up. But who knows? By then, the Easter Bunny might be hiding his eggs in legalized grass in every state in the country.

Review of Free Internet Photo Albums
Flickr.com is partnered with Yahoo. One can use the same user name and password for both accounts.
Kodakgallery.com is the site for Kodak EasyShare. Up to sixty images can be uploaded at a time. More marketing than other sites. One can invite friends without having them register.
Shutterfly.com is partnered with Target Stores. Users can order and go to their local Target stores and obtain "shopping cart" items, such as prints, calendars, and photo books.
Snapfish.com is a service of Hewlett Packard and is powered by Earthlink (whew!). Users can order and pickup photos at Walgreen Drug stores. Uploading photos from my MOBILE phone was an easy set-up, but there is a time lag of a day or two between uploading photos and their actual appearance on-line. On the other hand, I can upload photos from my computer almost instantly
Photobucket.com I haven't registered here yet. Can anybody add comments?
Picasa.com I registered at this site with the same user name and password that I use for my travelstwo.blogspot.com The site is sponsored by Google. I have a choice of keeping my photo albums private or opening them to the pubic (at http://picasaweb.google.com/bobkramp ). Visitors do NOT have to register. Also, I can view my Picasa Alums on my mobile phone but can't upload them. Images are automatically resized to fit my phone's screen.
Snapgenie.com is great for creating slide shows with a running commentary which the user can add by dialing up on the phone. The site is supported by MyFamily.com- one of the largest Internet sites for genealogical research- by subscription.
Footnote.com and Geni.com are good sites for presenting one's genealogy and family photos. Footnote is partnered with the National Archives and is being used as a public reference and resource site. Geni is private for the user but can be shared with selected family members.
I will be adding more sites and comments as I do more shopping.

I share on Pixamo (www.pixamo.com). They are a smaller player, but offer features that I find way superior to the other sites you mentioned. It is a great site to get family on because it lets you tag by peoples' names, places, and events and then it links different friends' accounts via common tags. For example, as long as we agree, my photos and your photos of our 28th High School reunion can be linked to form one joint album. This makes sharing so much more convenient because you can share and browse by relevant tag (no need to send out invitation e-mails all the time and no need to look through every photo in your friends' collection unless you really want to).

Thanks for the reference Stewart. I will check out Pixamo in a few days. I have just arrived home after 2 week trip and getting ready to hit the road for 5 more weeks- I'm a little swamped. I believe your suggestion of "sharing our 28th HS reunion" was an example only and does not mean that we are old classmates, right? I can't get to your profile to respond.

4 Crippling Leadership Mistakes
Dr. Richard Weinblatt
Oftentimes what is more irritating and stressful to law enforcers than criminals is dealing with the brass and internal agency politics. Thought of as losing touch with the streets and "forgetting where they come from," the corner office inhabitants of the upper echelons of the law enforcement agency can seem remote and uncaring.
This article is designed to point out, or in some cases simply remind, the bigwig and aspiring corner office-holder alike of common leadership errors that we all can identify within the police department or sheriff's office. But make no mistake, this is material that can apply to all because everyone is a leader within his or her agency regardless of whether or not fancy gold rank insignia is affixed to the collar or shoulder epaulet. Going even further, these concepts could apply to non-law enforcement organizations as well.

I wake up a little before seven with a sharp pain in my lower back. Just that old pulled muscle acting up again—but man, this time it really hurts. I gobble a bunch of Advil and hobble back to bed.
A few hours later, I'm up again. While the pain has abated, it's still there, and I briefly wonder if I should mosey over to the Emergency Room. But no, I'm being a wimp. I pop a couple more Advil, pack up my computer, and head off to a café. It's Monday—Memorial Day—but I didn't make any plans, in part because I really need to motor through a bunch of work.
I'm eating my croissant and sipping coffee when the pain washes over me again. I look up from my laptop screen. This really doesn't feel right. And yes, it seems silly to go to the ER because of back pain, but you know what? I don't care.
Well, as you've likely figured out by now, this wasn't just my ancient sports injury giving me grief. It was a kidney stone. I'm still not sure exactly what this is—something about a calcified something trying to find its way out—but I do have one salient piece of advice: Refrain from getting one.
"It's really good you came in," said the medical technician, who started the IV drip to administer pain meds and fluids.
I hadn't brought anything to read, but I did have my iPhone. "Holiday greetings from the Cooley Dick emergency room! Working hypothesis: kidney stones. #tmi," I typed into Facebook.
Thanks to social media, I had instant company.
"I read a great essay a few days ago about how you can make difficult experiences better by crafting the story that you'll later tell about them. Or something like that," my writer friend Megan quipped. She was talking about this, and in fact, I already was.
At the time the pain struck, I was finishing up a column for SecondAct about doing a Plan B Nation-style Happiness Project. The idea, of course, grew out of lawyer-turned-writer Gretchen Rubin's #1 New York Times bestseller The Happiness Project. I've sometimes jokingly call Plan B Nation "a Happiness Project for the rest of us"—for those who don't already have Rubin's picture perfect life—and I wanted to write about that.
But lying in the ER, my mind wandered to two of Rubin's previous books—Forty Ways to Look at Winston Churchill and Forty Ways to Look at JFK. And then: Forty Ways to Appreciate a Kidney Stone. The title just popped into my head, and I decided to make a list. (If you're interested, you can read it below. In fact, I only came up with 25, but in deference to whimsicality, I left the title unchanged.)
Two days later, I was telling my writer friend Lisa about my misadventure. "I was so convinced it was that sports injury that I blocked out any other option."
As it happened, Lisa had her own such story. Walking down a dark Brooklyn street a number of years back, she caught sight of three suspicious-looking characters ambling towards her. If you see something suspicious, always look at your watch. A friend had described having done just that after seeing a plane fly low over Manhattan's Twin Towers. Now Lisa did it herself. In an instant, she saw herself on the witness stand, Law and Order style. She alone would have the facts! And then, she was mugged.
"Oh! I'm not a witness! I'm the victim!" was her first astonished thought.
You might say our minds have minds of their own. They assume "facts," create stories, and often won't shut up until they get us to act accordingly. At times, this is a great thing. Our lives depend on it. But helpful as our minds may try to be, they sometimes lead us astray. Their first impulse isn't always the right one. That's why we need to keep them open.
Forty Ways to Appreciate a Kidney Stone
1. It wasn't something worse
2. I got to meet the super nice super kind people in the Cooley Dick emergency room
3. I wasn't out of town
4. I didn't have the disappointment of cancelling holiday plans (had been feeling a little glum about not having any. Now I was glad.)
5. It didn't happen right before a work deadline
6. I wasn't screwing up anyone else's holiday plans
7. It gave me an opportunity to test my story-creating tool—and find it worked again
8. It led me to appreciate health in a way I hadn't the day before
9. It gave me another way to reflect on the quality of openness that I've been mulling; the ability to see outside expectations. In brief, my initial tendency was to attribute this to a flaring of a sports injury. In fact, it was something different.
10. I told a nurse about Greenie pill pockets for her aging cat
11. I appreciated living in a place with easy access to medical care
12. I now know what these symptoms mean in the event they strike again
13. I know I should be drinking more water.
14. Another way to connect with friends
15. It gave me a chance to see that, at least sometimes, I'm getting better than I used to be about life not going according to my plans.
16. It gave me a sense that I'm not as much of a pain wimp as I've always thought of myself as being.
17. I didn't have to take the heavy duty painkillers.
18. I had the heavy duty painkillers in reserve, which was reassuring.
19. Appreciate FB—didn't have to call any one person but had community support, felt not alone + knew I had someone to call on if it turned out I did need help
20. Friends who offered to help
21. Made me appreciate insurance
22. Made me appreciate Mass, where health insurance is affordable
23. Made me appreciate my apartment—quiet, restful, safe space to recuperate.
24. Appreciate my car—that I was able to drive myself to the ER
25. Writing about this gives me a chance to connect with others—and maybe help someone else who ends up in this place in the future. (Research suggests that helping others makes us happier than doing things for ourselves.)

John Holladay (1800-1843)
John Holladay (1800-1843)
John HOLLADAY, second child and eldest son of Zacharias and Catherine Anderson Holladay, was born in Green County, Kentucky in 1800.[1] He died in late 1842 or early 1843 in Adair County, Kentucky,[2] and is buried in the Holladay Cemetery.
In terms of family lore, John is the least-known, and in some ways the most interesting, of the four adult children of Zacharias and Kitty. Unlike his brothers, John did not become a farmer, but he does appear to have been a man of affairs in early Adair County. Very little information about him has been handed down to later generations of the Holladay family. One reason may be that John died at a fairly young age and his sons later joined their Creel and Reynolds cousins in the migration from Adair County to Carroll County, Missouri. This occurred in 1855, soon after the death of John's wife, Mariah. They seem to have lost contact with their Adair County cousins, so little news of their branch of the family was passed on the other Adair County Holladays. Fortunately, a considerable amount of information about John is available in the public records of Adair County, and a great deal of information about his sons and the Creel and Reynolds families has been found in Carroll County, Missouri.
Even John's birth order has been incorrect in previously published information on Zacharias' family, which lists John as the third son, born in 1806. By analyzing Adair County tax records and U.S. census records, this author has shown that John was born between 2 June and 5 August 1800.[3] He was born at his father's farm on Sulfur Creek in that part of Green County which in 1802 was split off to become Adair County. The town of Columbia was founded in that same year.
In early February of 1827 John married Mariah Creel, eldest child of Simeon and Matilda Waggener Creel. She was born on 27 January 1807 in Adair County. John and Mariah's marriage bond was made on 9 February 1827 by John Holladay and Simeon Creel.[4] The Creels and Waggeners were both prominent families in early Columbia, and it is likely that John also had some sort of business relationship with Simeon.
In the 1830 census John and family are shown as living on property adjacent to Simeon and his family. Simeon Creel was also the census taker for that area of Adair County. At the end of December, 1832, Simeon died leaving ten children age 20 and under. In his will, made on 10 December 1832, Simeon names John Holladay as one of his executors. John subsequently relinquished his right of execution, but later in 1833 the Adair County court appointed him guardian to Sarah Ann (then age 20), Ermine (18), Elsey (13), Henry C. (7), and Rosannah (4) Creel, "infant orphans of Simeon Creel deceased." One of the securetors for the guardian bond was Samuel Morris. In 1834 Morris petitioned the court to release him from this obligation, and a new bond in the sum of $3,000 was executed with Allen D. Patterson, Zachariah Holladay, and William Holladay as securetors.
It is not known when Simeon Creel's widow Matilda died. Ermine Creel married Joseph Sallee Reynolds in 1835. Sarah Ann Creel married sometime during the same period, but this author has conflicting information about her marriage which must be resolved.
John Holladay died some time in 1842/43, leaving no will. His daughter Elizabeth married James Henry Reynolds on 3 October of 1844; their marriage bond was made on 2 October by James H. Reynolds and Elizabeth's uncle, William Holladay. Elizabeth was then only 16 years of age, and her mother Mariah certified her consent on 30 September in a statement also signed by Joseph and William Holladay in which Mariah states, "She has no other guardian but myself."
John's sudden death left Mariah with the task of raising their four children along with the three Creel children still under John's guardianship. Her daughter Elizabeth would have been about 15, and the three Creel children were all teenagers. Their elder brother Elzy Creel, then 23, may have moved back into the household at about that time to help. The 1850 Census shows Mariah's household included: Mariah Holoday (age 42), Sarah A. Holoday (14), Zachariah Holoday (17), Farmer, John W. Holoday (12), Elzy Creel (30), Farmer, R. M. Waggener (27) and Rosannah Waggener (21)
Mariah died in 1853/54[5] and is buried beside her husband in the Holladay Cemetery. In 1855 Elzy Creel, Zachariah Holladay and his brother John W., moved to Carroll County Missouri.
Children of John HOLLADAY and Mariah CREEL:
1. Elizabeth HOLLADAY (born 1 Jun 1828). Elizabeth Holladay married James Henry Reynolds, son of Henry Reynolds and Nancy Ann Sallee, on 3 October 1844. They had twelve children. After James H. Reynolds death in 1893, Elizabeth moved to Carroll County, Missouri, to be with her many children and family who were by then living there. She died in Carroll County on 24 October 1901 and is buried there.
2. Simeon HOLLADAY was born about 1830 in Adair County, Kentucky, and died on 6 December 1831. He appears as a male under age 5 in the 1830 census. His name and death date are given in a letter from John Holladay to his uncle, John B. Miller, then living in Tennessee. John B. Miller was married to Kitty Anderson's sister, Susanna.
3. Zachariah HOLLADAY (born 11 Dec 1833). Zachariah Holladay moved to Carroll County, Missouri, in 1855. In 1856/58 he married Elizabeth A. Emmons. They had five children. During the Civil War Zachariah enlisted in the Union Army and served in the 23rd Missouri. After the war he moved his family to the Indian Nation (now Oklahoma) and later to Texas. He died on 5 November, 1906, in Wills Point, Van Zandt County, Texas.
4. Sarah A HOLLADAY was born about 1836. Nothing is known about Sarah after her listing in the 1850 census.
5. John Waller HOLLADAY (born 12 May 1840). John Waller Holladay moved to Carroll County, Missouri, in 1855. He married Helen Darr Creel on 8 July 1865, and they had four children. During the Civil War John Holladay enlisted in the Confederate Army and served in the 3rd Missouri Infantry. He died in Wakenda, Carroll County, Missouri, on 3 May 1917 and is buried in Big Creek Cemetery in that county.
Prepared by Jay A. Holladay, P.O. Box 815, La Canada, CA 91012 e-mail: email@example.com Last update 10 January 2009.
[1] This date is based on U.S. census records and Adair County tax records; see note 3, below.
[2] Adair County, Kentucky, Tax Books, 1824-1844. FHL microfilm 7852. In 1842 John is listed on p. 18 (second listing) as John Holiday and paid taxes on 70 acres on Russell Creek. He does not appear in the 1843 tax book but Mariah appears on p. 10 as head of the household, paying taxes on 40 acres on Sulpher Fork, a tributary of Russell Creek.
[3] John's birth date can be determined fairly closely from his listings in the U.S. census records and Adair County tax records. In the 1810 census (census day 6 August) he is listed as age 10-16 and in the 1820 census (7 August) he is listed as age 20-29. In each case there is only one male in that age range. That this is indeed John is proven by the tax records which show only one male over 21 (Zacharias) in 1821 and previous years, and lists John Holliday in 1822 and subsequent years. Beginning in 1830 the census day was moved back to 1 June and this date was used for many decades. By 1830 John is a head of household and is listed as age 20-29, indicating he had not yet reached his 30th birthday, and in 1840 he is listed as age 30-39. Thus the evidence is consistent and rather conclusive that he was born between 2 June and 5 August of 1800.

Photocopies of originals in notebook, "Adair County Marriage Bonds", compiled by Margie Coffey, at Adair County Public Library, Columbia. The Holladay-Creel marriage bond is dated 9 February 1827 and names John Holladay and Simeon Creel as sureties.
[5] Adair County, Kentucky Tax Books, 1845-1858. FHL microfilm 7853. Mariah appears in the taxpayer lists for 1852 on p. 19 and 1853 on p. 18, but not for 1854 or 1855.

Wayne Shorter
Lee Morgan was the leading trumpeter in hard bop during the 1960s and he recorded quite a few classic albums for Blue Note. This is one of them. The CD reissue (which adds an alternate take of the title cut to the original five-song program) features Morgan at his best, whether playing his memorable blues "Speed Ball," an explorative ballad version of "You Go to My Head," a lengthy "The Gigolo," or his other two originals ("Yes I Can, No You Can't" and "Trapped"). There are no weak selections on this set and the playing by the leader, Wayne Shorter on tenor, pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Billy Higgins is beyond any serious criticism. ~ Scott Yanow

Does anybody know of any solutions for camera calibration that uses proper ICC profiles. Th Coloreyes solution is no longer for sale, and the products from X-rite produce DNG profiles that only work with Adobe products. I need/would like something that will produce ICC profiles I can use with Leaf Capture and Capture 1 Pro.Any ideas would be appreciated.Kind regards,Jason Berge.
Traditionally building ICC profiles for cameras has been hit of miss (mostly miss)! There are a number of reasons for this and why DNG profiles make so much more sense. You can try differing products that build ICC camera profiles but expect frustrations.
it is just because C1 expects certain data tuned to its code in icc container, not because icc container somehow is bad... you are not saying that C1 is rendering worse colors w/ its profiles supplied in icc containers than LR/ACR with its dcp supplied profiles, are you ?
A profile that defines all kinds of captures under all kinds of conditions, not going to happen.
You have to feed the ICC profile software a rendered image. How you render it plays a huge role. Then there are issues with the target itself, how you capture it, the targets gamut and how that affects the profile (since these camera dont really have a gamut). A big can of worms. Nothing like profiling a scanner which can be locked down and fixed in state.
No wonder that after years of trying, most CMS software vendors have given up, or moved towards a raw DNG process for camera profiling.
indeed you need to put an effort... which brings a question - wasn't it Schewe or Eric Chan to stated that Adobe actually not using its own tools and CC24 or similar targets but rather illuminate the sensor w/ monochromator...
again somehow OEM C1 profiles does not render color worse than OEM Adobe profiles... so dcp profiles somehow does not provide anything better than alternative solutions
who are those ?
"There are a number of reasons for this and why DNG profiles make so much more sense"If only DNG profiles worked with C1 Pro and Leaf Capture, then I would go that way, but they don't. And yes I am looking mainly at a studio based situation.Cheers,Jason.
I have absolutely no idea how the C1 folks build their profiles, or for that matter where or how they apply them in their processing chain. But there is a huge difference in an ICC profile and a dcp profile, especially where they are applied and on what kind of data. This isnt to say ICC camera profiles are impossible to create, just very tough and often not effective.
X-Rite, GretagMacbeth, Datacolor and presumably ColorEyes.
if you are talking about their consumer level targets + software to create dcp profiles - that's essentially a "Gary Fong" business, they just earn extra money by creating an illusion that an average Joe can make a really good profile...
And they can! Ive yet to see any user properly using the tools produce a dcp profile that wasnt as good and almost always better than the canned DNG profiles!
No, I want talking about consumer level products.
which brings the question - why Adobe can't make good profiles... something is not right here or there
you were talking about the likes of xrite passport solution for creating dcp profiles... and I understand your position as that they are good only because Adobe's canned are way too bad... in regione caecorum rex est luscus (c)
But there is a huge difference in consistency between an Epson printer and a DSLR

|This is a information-holding record for a potential set of materials on this ceremony to be entered by SFPALM. Do not associate to any Digital Ojbects, Performance, or Component records; use Production #1001235 instead. [Email from Tricia Roush Mar2006] This item (DO #1003900) is a program from the corner-stone laying ceremony for the War Memorial Opera House, a very important performing arts center in San Francisco, the home of our city ballet and opera companies. The DO #1003900 mainly references a building, rather than a performance or performance group(?), but our files on the history of theatre buildings are some of the most-used materials in our collection, and I thought that this is an interesting one, to go with the architectural drawing of the building and other related objects. Ideally, I'd love to scan and enter the whole program so the inside (the performances that happened at the event) can be read rather than just described in the record; there are several items which would make good multi-object units for the database, if we were able to add more to the project.

Regionally Accredited Institutions
The University of Idaho generally evaluates all college-level credits earned and all grades received by students from institutions accredited by the following regional associations:
- Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools
- Higher Learning Commission
- New England Association of Schools and Colleges
- Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
- Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
- Western Association of Schools and Colleges
Non-Regionally Accredited Institutions
The University of Idaho's University Curriculum Committee (UCC) reviews requests from individual students concerning course taken at non-regionally accredited institutions. Upon approval by UCC, such courses will be entered on the student's transfer record and the credits included in the "credits earned toward the degree." Credits earned at an institution that is a suspected diploma/degree mill are not acceptable to the University of Idaho.
Students who have been admitted to the University of Idaho and wish to have courses taken at non-regionally accredited institutions reviewed by UCC must submit the following to the committee via the Office of the Registrar:
- A letter indicating the specific courses to be reviewed.
- An official transcript from the institution.
- A course description and syllabus for each course for which review is requested.
The Office of the Registrar will then forward the course information to the corresponding academic department for their review. After the Office of the Registrar has received the recommendations from the corresponding department(s) all of the information will be presented to the UCC. At that time, the UCC may request additional information from the student.
UCC will convey the decision on each course to the Office of the Registrar, who in-turn will notify the student and record the approved courses on the transfer portion of the student's transcript.

kearly wrote:Every scout/GM I've ever heard talk about his process has said that the vast majority of their evaluation is based on tape. Rarely, you'll see someone do something freakish at the combine that will change the perception of his potential (guys like Walter Jones, Jason Smith, JPP, Dontari Poe, and Bruce Irvin are some examples). And sometimes you'll see a player kill his stock with a bad combine (Vontaze Burfict, Tom Brady, Chris Polk (allegedly interviewed poorly)). But those are the exceptions, not the rule. For the most part, a prospect's status isn't impacted much from the Combine.
I love the combine though. It's kind of like the preseason for the draft.
And I will also say that the combine definitely has it's uses. I'll list some examples:
#1: Field speed is often difficult to judge on tape. Some players are "sneaky fast." I thought Bobby Wagner was solidly fast, but he wasn't explosive fast. Then he runs a low 4.4's. That's really handy for me as a blogger because I know that Pete prefers fast linebackers, but a lot of times it's hard to tell the difference between 4.4 and 4.6 on film unless the guy is really explosive. Having that list of 40 times helped me highlight Korey Toomer on the blog before he became our 5th round pick. Sure, some players are track fast and not field fast, but if a guy runs a really great time, you can always go back and double check to see if there was something you weren't seeing before. Often there is.
#2: Basic measurables such as height, weight, arm length, and hand size. These are really important numbers to know, and schools are notorious for giving out wildly inaccurate numbers, off by as much as 2 inches of height or 20 pounds of weight. Hand size is considered fairly critical to QB success and can't be scientifically judged from film. Arm length is crucial for offensive and defensive lineman, and can be at times difficult to judge from film (I thought Ezekiel Ansah looked like he had stubby arms on video, and then he measured 34"). It's good to have all those measurements taken at one place so you know the measuring was done correctly and officially.
#3: Speed drills help separate top prospects. Maybe you want to know who the better edge rusher is between Dion Jordan and Damontre Moore? That's hard to tell since they don't play side to side. But events like the 40 yard dash (10 yard split), 3 cone, and short shuttle help illuminate which is the more nimble player. That doesn't mean you should draft a crappy player because he's 5% better in gym shoes, but in such an extremely competitive field, something as small as a 5% advantage matters more than you might think.
#4: It provides a centralized area to conduct massive amounts of interviews while drawing relatively minimal attention. JS interviewed Russell Wilson at the Senior Bowl- and it was reported. His interviews at the combine were much more numerous and weren't fully reported on (to my knowledge). Interviews are extremely important and good players have been taken off draft boards for giving bad ones. Teams view draft picks like business decisions, and a player interview really is in effect a job interview. The interview process is a huge reason for Seattle's success- because it helps them find those highly competitive, chip on the shoulder types (Sherman, Baldwin, Lane), and sort out the ones who are not.
Again, the idea that the combine makes or breaks players is essentially a myth, propagated by a handful of such stories every year out of hundreds of participants. That said, it certainly has a ton of use, and I do not think PC/JS's legacy would be as great today without it. It provides very useful information for those who know how to properly use it.

Here's the perfect solution for all your vegetables. This tempura is breathtakingly delicious–Yotam Ottolenghi
LC Breathtaking Work of Staggering Genius Note
We concur with Ottolenghi. This tempura is a breathtaking work of staggering genius, considering it works well in all seasons with just about all vegetables. It's also breathtakingly, staggeringly stunning. As far as root veggies go, it's pretty fetching. But back to it being staggeringly genius. Because we know some of you will experience needless guilt over the deep-frying, we thought we'd remind you that it's quite the inspiring approach–not to mention a lovely excuse–for selecting just-pulled-from-the-dirt veggies at the greenmarket or, if you wish to observe National Clean Out Your Fridge Day this November 15th, those about-to-languish veggies from your vegetable bin. See? Both practical and healthful. For the utmost in just-stare-at-it-and-sigh potential, opt for an array of hues. You're welcome.
Seasonal Vegetable Tempura
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- For the dipping sauce
- 6 cardamom pods
- Grated zest and juice of 4 limes (about 1/3 cup juice)
- 1 fresh green chile
- 2 3/4 cups cilantro (leaves and stalks)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- For the vegetables
- About 2 3/4 pounds (net weight) freshly prepared vegetables, such as: Jerusalem artichoke, beet, broccoli, potato, sweet potato, carrot, cauliflower, celeriac, baby leek, parsnip, kohlrabi, salsify, turnip, or the like
- 1/2 cup cornstarch, plus extra to coat the vegetables
- 1/2 cup self-rising flour (to make your own self-rising flour, combine 1 cup flour, 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt)
- 3/4 cup seltzer or sparkling water, plus more as needed
- 2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
- Chile flakes
- 3 cups grapeseed or sunflower oil, for deep-frying
- Make the dipping sauce
- 1. Break the cardamom pods open using a mortar and pestle. Transfer the seeds to a food-processor bowl and discard the pods. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and blitz to get a smooth, runny sauce.
- Prepare the vegetables
- 2. There aren't any strict rules you must follow, but try to keep them chunky and retain some of the natural shape of the vegetable, where possible. For example, cut round vegetables into thin wedges and long vegetables into batons or strips. Here are a few useful suggestions.
• For cauliflower and broccoli, divide into medium florets
• For beets, peel and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices or wedges
• For potatoes and sweet potatoes, leave the skin on and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
• For Jerusalem artichoke, carrot, parsnip, salsify, turnip and celeriac, peel and cut into 3/8-inch-thick sticks, not too perfect
• For baby leeks, just trim off the green ends
- 3. Before you start frying the vegetables, prepare a large plate lined with paper towels. Scatter some cornstarch for coating the vegetables on another plate. Place the batter ingredients – the flour, the 1/2 cup of cornstarch, sparkling water, grapeseed oil, and salt – in a bowl and whisk well to get a smooth, runny mix. Add some chile flakes for heat.
- 4. Pour the frying oil in a medium saucepan and place on high heat. Once very hot, turn the heat down to medium. When frying the vegetables, the oil should be hot enough so you get a good sizzle but not so hot that they burn.
- 5. Take each piece of vegetable and toss it in the cornstarch. Shake to remove any excess, then dip it in the batter. Lift and shake again, then carefully put into the oil. Deep-fry four or five pieces of vegetable at a time. As they fry, turn the pieces over to color evenly. Soft vegetables like leeks should take about 1 minute to cook, harder ones like beets 2 minutes or more. When frying, occasionally remove any burnt bits that float in the oil. As they cook, transfer the vegetables onto the paper towels and keep warm.
- 6. When all the vegetables are cooked, serve them at once, with the dipping sauce on the side.

The card is complete for next week's Bellator 89 event in North Carolina with the addition of six preliminary-card fights, including Strikeforce vet Chris Mierzwiak.
Bellator 89 takes place Feb. 14 at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte with a main card on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com. The event's headliner is a bantamweight title fight between champion Eduardo Dantas (14-3 MMA, 4-0 BFC) and tournament winner Marcos Galvao (13-5-1 MMA, 4-2 BFC).
In preliminary-card action, Tim Goodwin (7-3 MMA, 0-0 BFC) meets Nathan Davis (4-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC) at bantamweight; Chris Mierzwiak (4-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) takes on Johnny Buck (11-8 MMA, 0-0 BFC) at welterweight; middleweights Kyle Bolt (6-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Joe Pacheco (3-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC) collide; Aaron Johnson (11-10 MMA, 0-0 BFC) takes on Brennan Ward (5-0 MMA, 1-0 BFC) at welterweight; and in a heavyweight fight, David Mejia (4-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC) meets Mont McMullens (2-3 MMA, 0-0 BFC).
The prelims also include a Season 8 middleweight tournament opening-round fight between Sultan Aliev (8-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and the unbeaten Mikkel Parlo (9-0 MMA, 1-0 BFC).
Goodwin makes his Bellator debut with two straight wins and three in his past four fights. The South Carolina-based fighter has five of his seven wins by stoppage. Davis, a North Carolina native, drops down from featherweight to try to stay unbeaten in his pro career.
Mierzwiak has won two of his past three fights and has all four of his wins by stoppage. Of his two losses, one came to Dominique Steele in September 2011 for Strikeforce, a unanimous decision setback. Buck, also from North Carolina, has won three straight, including an August knockout of Ricky Rainey under the XFC banner.
Bolt looks for his third straight win. The Californian has wins in six of his past seven fights, including five submission stoppages. Pacheco looks to stay unbeaten and extend his streak of three straight submissions. He drops down from light heavyweight for the bout at 185 pounds.
Johnson has won three of his past five, but is coming off a knockout loss to UFC veteran Rodney Wallace this past July. Ward goes for his second straight Bellator win after winning his debut with a first-round knockout of Sam McCoy at Bellator 81 in November.
And Mejia looks to stay unbeaten at heavyweight and continue his stretch of knockouts. All four of his wins have come from his hands, including three in the first round. The North Carolina-based McMullens has won two of three, but in July was submitted in regional action in Charlotte.
The full Bellator 89 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Spike TV, 10 p.m. ET)

On a serene summer evening, Deborah Borda, chief executive of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, settled into her box seat at the Hollywood Bowl. As the musicians took the stage, a woman yelled in Borda's direction: "We can't keep doing Mahler if we want to get the 20-year-olds."
The comment about the late Romantic composer, a staple of the orchestra's repertoire, crystallized the challenges the L.A. Phil faces if it is to remain one of the nation's most innovative and financially strong orchestras. In coming years, the Phil will have to expand its audience beyond the older, well-to-do season-ticket holders who have been its foundation for nearly a century.

Release Date: 2013 |
streaming on several sites.
was overall an enjoyable effort
Digging: Gorguts - Colored Sands
Album Rating: 2.5so disappointing [2]
nah. I almost gave it a 3.5 but a couple songs really suck lol.
Not my style but review is very well written, have a mental pos.
Digging: Airged L'amh - One Eyed God
Album Rating: 2.5I get that some bands like "experimenting" but this is a case of if it ain't broke dont fix it.
Thanks manosg - cheers buddy
My only complaint is that it's only 32 minutes long.
Album Rating: 1.0I completely disagree. I was massively disappointed in this album. There are maybe 4 songs that don't
actually piss me off when I hear them, and even then I don't like them much at all. I get pissed at
the others because of how good they used to be and how uninteresting most of their songs are now. Well
written review though.
Digging: Mineral - The Power of Failing
Album Rating: 3.0Funny, "Girls/Girls/Boys" was one of the few tracks other than the singles that I enjoyed.
Album Rating: 1.0^"Girls/Girls/Boys" is one of them for me. Fun song.
Album Rating: 3.0hate to be that guy but *brendon
Vices & Virtues was the bomb, and I was expecting once Urie tightened up his lyricism the album would have been a masterpiece. This fell short of that, at least he's writing lyrics at college level now. But yeah Girls/Girls/Boys is a dud. I was very impressed with Collar Full and Nicotine though. And I agree on this is gospel
Album Rating: 3.0I really enjoyed Vices and Virtues when it came out (I still listen to Ready to Go and Trade Mistakes once in a while) but this album will wear out way too quickly. The hooks are way too shallow, even if catchy (like Nicotine)
Album Rating: 3.0^ agreed this won't age very well
Album Rating: 3.0Disappointing album - especially after the greatness that was "Vices & Virtues"
Album Rating: 3.0vices for life
Album Rating: 2.0Calc, that's crap. I'd much rather see this band and similar ones to experiment than continue with their old boring style before that everyone else was already doing.
As long as they don't pull a "save rock and roll" anyways.
Album Rating: 3.0vices for life [2]
Album Rating: 2.0fever >
Digging: Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Album Rating: 2.5yes, I do want more of the same. not this boring crap.
Album Rating: 3.0this has bright spots andcas, but it's nowhere near the quality of vices.... like why the hell is there so many effects on urie's voice?

after a week of intense heat at the very end of august (very unusual and quite historic for québec city) we have finally been blessed with a cool autumn breeze in the air. as much as i love summer, i must say sartorially fall has always been my favourite. it's so much fun to play with colours, layers, textures... ah, tweed, plaid, how i missed thee.
today was one of those lovely early fall days, and so i dug deep in my closet to fully enjoy the autumn air while i ran some errands. here's what i came up with.
(i feel like i look a wee bit... stoned in this photo)
it's moments like these where i love volunteering in a thrift store; that saddle bag and pair of high waisted pants are my rewards.
the shoulders! they are just the perfect cut for me.
and even the namesake is perfection; jules was a nickname of mine when i was younger.
Teddy Girl, 1955. by Ken Russell
all photos by filmmaker and photographer Ken Russell
here is part of the essay that accompanied the publication of these images in picture post magazine:
These photos were taken in January 1955 in Walthamstow, Poplar and North Kensington: solidly working class areas of London. The girls photographed embody three of the great issues of the time; class, gender and youth. They are rejecting the drab costumes of class conformity and post-war austerity. They are pioneers for women looking beyond home for a place to be valued. They are young girls blazing a trail that will be followed by youth cultures for decades to come. But somehow Teddy Girls as a group remain historically almost invisible.how great is that! pretty amazing if you ask me. i wish i could have known some of those teddy girls... hell, maybe some one you brits might have had a relative who was a teddy girl! ask around.
clearly i am not the only person to have ever been inspired by the style of these ferocious femmes. back in 2006, bust magazine had a teddy girls themed photoshoot that i enjoyed so much i scanned to share with friends. here are two:

It's rare that a coach's first press conference with his new team provides all that much useful information, but Alain Vigneault and the Rangers managed that on Friday.
First, Vigneault said he'll employ zone-matching he used with the Vancouver Canucks. While Vigneault and his staff popularized the technique—which entails the most offensively gifted players getting the lion's share of offensive-zone starts—many teams have adopted its use, to at least some degree.
Like SN's Jesse Spector noted last month, the Rangers would do well to match zones more often. The end result, in all likelihood, will mean more offensive chances for Rick Nash and more defensive focus for, say, Brian Boyle.
As always, that'll be treated as some sort of computer-based witchcraft in some circles, but it's common sense—and even more so for the Rangers, given their makeup.
"(Our) job is to win games, but at the same time we need to get the most out of our players," Vigneault said.
Meanwhile, GM Glen Sather went out of his way to say that he wasn't criticizing the fired John Tortorella, but did say that Tortorella's methods—lots of screaming and blocking shots—were wearing on the roster. That fact crystallized itself after the Rangers' second-round playoff elimination.
"It was getting to be so hard on some of our players," Sather said.
He also used the golden rule of coaching: "Life is a lot easier when you're winning."
Maybe Canucks GM Mike Gillis will say that if he hires Tortorella.

Mitt Romney may be the most dishonest politician I've ever had the misfortune of watching. This is a man who seems to literally believe that there is no consequence at all for shamelessly contradicting himself from one week to the next.
Those who believe that Mitt "won" the first debate hands down seem to believe that Romney is justified in his complete cynicism about the process and the electorate. Those who believe, as David Axelrod and I do, that Romney mortgaged long-term political pain for a 24-hour news cycle win, have just a little more faith in this creaky old electoral system.
American democracy is broken. But it's not that broken.
Mitt was losing. So he decided to win. And everyone agrees that he won the debate. So far there have indeed been no consequences for him shamelessly contradicting himself from one week to the next. And why should there be, among the small pool of voters who have not yet made up their minds?
Meanwhile, why didn't Obama talk about Romney's 47% comments in the debate? From here: "'It just didn't come up in the debate,' Messina said. 'It wasn't a deliberate decision.'" I guess that no one in the Democratic Party has ever heard of bringing up talking points about one's opponent in a debate, to define them. They didn't think about it so hard that it wasn't even deliberate that they didn't think about it. After all, the basic attitude is this: We must be bipartisan -- above the fray -- and work together on a Grand Bargain to destroy Social Security. And those 47% are sort of shameful, aren't they? Why would anyone speak up about them when they don't have to?
American democracy is that broken.

Rioting prisoners fire weapons and cheer from a roof during clashes with Sri Lanka's Special Task Force at Welikada prison in Colombo, Nov. 9, 2012.
Prison officers carry an injured colleague during clashes at Welikada prison in Colombo, Nov. 9.
Reuters reports — Ten people were killed in a gunfight at Sri Lanka's biggest jail on Friday that started when police conducting a routine search came under fire from inmates, officials and police said.
Witnesses said they saw police shooting towards the prison where armed inmates were on the roof. Hospital officials in Colombo who gave the death toll were not able to say if the victims were police or prisoners.

Late afternoon view from the roof terrace of the Asrav Konak. The name oft the village Güzelyurt means "nice homeland". In the village you can find traditional stone houses, underground cities and several cave churches. In the background you can see the Mount Hasan, which is one of the volcanoes responsible for the tuffstone, that had covered the area. On the rock just right of the small lake is the "Yueksek Kilise" (=high church), which is a testimony of the former Greek population who called the village Gelveri. In 1923 all Christians had to leave Anatolia. Today many Greek descendants of the former poulation visit the village once a year to do a friendship party with the Turkish inhabitants. Polititians could learn a lot here.
Cappadocia is a part of central Turkey. Eruptions of several volcanoes (e.g. Erciyes Dag, Hasan Dag) had covered the area with tuff. Erosion dug valleys and created an uncountable number of different shaped rocks. The tuff's ability to store water made the valleys much more fertile than the higher surroundings. After the arrival of the first people, they soon started to dig caves into the soft stone. By the time they developed the ability to dig cities into the underground with tunnels of several kilometers. A sophisticated pipe- and tunnel-system cared for fresh air and water, to enable the people to hide from enemies for a long time. In the 5th century hermits started to settle in the valleys and to paint their caves. In the next centuries more and more hermits and monks arrived and a rich cave-architecture with colourfull wallpaintings developed. The most famous are the churches of Goereme and the Peristrema Valley (=Ihlara Valley) between Ihlara and Selime. Today thousands of tourists from all over the world are visiting the area.

Burnett earns much-needed win, Pirates down Cubs
Chicago, IL – A.J. Burnett spun 8 1/3 innings to help the Pittsburgh Pirates down the Chicago Cubs, 6-2, in the middle game of a three- game set at Wrigley Field on Saturday.
Burnett (4-6) bounced back from his worst start of the season with arguably his best outing. He surrendered just two runs on four hits with three walks and five strikeouts to pick up his first victory in over a month.
"That was excellent rhythm off the mound," said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle about Burnett's performance.
Pedro Alvarez and Russell Martin each had two-run home runs while Travis Snider drove in a run for the Pirates, who have won six of eight from the Cubs this season.
Jeff Samardzija (3-7) yielded four runs on eight hits while striking out seven over six frames for the Cubs.
Alfonso Soriano connected on a two-run shot in the ninth to help prevent the Cubs from being held scoreless for the second straight game.
Garrett Jones extended his hitting streak at Wrigley to 10 games with a double into the ivy in left to start the second. Following a Martin ground out, Alvarez connected on a hanging slider for an RBI single to put the first run on the board.
The Bucs were back to work in the third as a Snider single to center scored Starling Marte and Alvarez added a two-run homer to right field in the fourth to make it 4-0.
"They come with a great approach every day," said Samardzija about the Pirates. "They were patient with me and got some pitches to hit."
Chicago had an opportunity to get to Burnett in the sixth after putting runners at second and third with two outs. Soriano ripped a grounder down the third base line, but Alvarez made a spectacular backhanded stab and fired it across the diamond to get the final out of the frame.
Martin ended a 23-game home run drought in the eighth with a two-run slam off Cubs reliever Hector Rondon to make the lead 6-0.
The only mistake Burnett made all game came in the ninth inning when Soriano ended his chance of an 11th career shutout with a two-run homer.
Tony Watson came in for the final two outs.
Game Notes
The Cubs were 0-for-6 with RISP ... Soriano has hit safely in five straight games ... The Cubs have a 6-18 record within their division, the fewest wins for any club within its own division ... Pirates No. 1 prospect Gerrit Cole is scheduled to make his Major League debut Tuesday.

Product Highlights
This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable.
Dry-Lam Super-Lam Thermal Laminating Film has been developed as an adhesive that works on harder than normal print surfaces. It is often referred to as an "ASAP" adhesive - Always Sticks, All Prints - which means that it will stick to almost every print surface or even offset printing.
Inasmuch as it features a wide operating temperature, you can use it on a wide variety of prints since your temperature can be set between 210-270°. Toner-based digital prints are especially receptive to this film since they are manufactured with fuser oils and glycol which ordinary films find difficult to stick to.

Follow this diagram, choosing either yes or no, to see each step of the complaints process:
Please note that the complaints process does take some time. It is unlikely you will get an instant answer or resolution. How long the process takes will depend on how far you choose to take your complaint. If you complain to the broadcaster and then you go on to refer your complaint to the BSA, it could be a number of months after the original date of the broadcast that you get a final decision – or even longer if the complaint is complex or raises many different issues. If you refer your complaint, the BSA will do its best to keep you up to date on the progress of your complaint and when you can reasonably expect a decision. For more information about this process, see below under the heading 'How does the BSA handle complaints?'
The information below appears in the following order:
It is important to familiarise yourself with all this information before you start the process of making your complaint.
You need to make your complaint within 20 working days of the broadcast.
You cannot complain about a show before it has aired.
You can complain about any programme that has been screened or played in New Zealand on television or radio. This includes live streaming.
The BSA does not accept complaints about advertising, internet content or programme scheduling.
What we cover / What we don't cover
Your complaint generally goes to the broadcaster first, but some complaints come straight to the BSA.
The first thing is to decide what type of complaint you are making – choose the type of complaint from the list in 'Make a complaint now'.
There are four types of complaint – formal, privacy, referral, and election programme – and you need to choose the relevant one for the content you are complaining about.
This type of complaint goes straight to the broadcaster (except for privacy issues on their own and election items).
You need to complain in writing (which can be via post, email or online form) about a specific broadcast and list one or more of the broadcasting standards that you consider have been breached. These are set out under the Codes of Broadcasting Practice.
The BSA cannot consider complaints that do not fit within the broadcasting standards.
A privacy complaint comes straight to the BSA. It is a written complaint about a specific broadcast that you believe infringes someone's privacy. You need to list the specific privacy principles under the Privacy Standard that you consider have been breached.
A referral is a written complaint to the BSA asking for a review of the way the broadcaster has handled your complaint. This can be because you're unhappy with the broadcaster's response or because the broadcaster did not respond to your complaint within the set time (20 working days of a formal complaint being received).
An election programme complaint comes straight to the BSA. It is a written complaint about a specific broadcast that you think breaches the Election Programme Code.
See General Guidance on Election Programmes
If you just want to express your concern to the broadcaster rather than make a formal complaint, you should phone them or send them an email or letter.
After a broadcaster receives your formal complaint, they have 20 working days to send you a decision. They need to:
You then have 20 working days from receiving that response to refer the decision to the BSA.
You would refer a decision if you were unhappy with the broadcaster's response or if the broadcaster had upheld part or all of your complaint and you were unhappy with the action they took after upholding it.
If you have not heard from the broadcaster within 20 working days you may immediately refer your complaint to the BSA.
Note that in certain cases broadcasters may ask for an additional 20 working days, especially if your complaint is a complex one. They are allowed to do this so long as they inform you within the original 20 working day period that they are exercising this right.
Also note that the 'working days' time period is suspended between December 25 and January 15. This means that the working day period effectively pauses during that time.
When the BSA receives a referral or a privacy complaint from you (or an election complaint in an election period), it sends a copy of your complaint to the broadcaster for comment and also asks for a recording of the broadcast. If the complaint is a referral, it asks for copies of all the correspondence relating to your complaint.
If the broadcaster makes any comments the BSA forwards them to you and asks for your final submissions. You don't have to make any further comments at this stage, but you can if you wish.
If you do make any final submissions, the BSA forwards them to the broadcaster.
Once the broadcaster has made its final submissions, and the BSA has received all the relevant information, your complaint is placed on the agenda for the next board meeting.
The four board members meet to consider complaints once every five weeks. They examine all the correspondence, view/listen to the programme, discuss the complaint, and decide whether or not to uphold it.
In most cases it will only take one meeting to decide the complaint, but if the members require more information, or they are going to uphold the complaint and have to consider orders, it may take more than one meeting. You will be kept up to date with the status of your complaint.
Note that your name will be included in the BSA's written decision.
The board does consider requests for name suppression when dealing with privacy complaints. For all other types of complaint, the board is unlikely to agree to name suppression. However, if you believe there are special reasons that you should receive name suppression please advise the BSA – you can do this at any time before the decision is released.
If the board decides that the broadcast breached one of the standards in the Codes it will uphold your complaint. At that point it will consider whether it needs to make an order.
If it decides there's no need to make an order it will release the decision.
If it's considering making an order it will write to you and to the broadcaster asking for your opinions on what should happen. It then decides whether to make, or not make, an order.
If it decides to make an order, there are various orders it can make. The broadcaster must comply with the order; if it doesn't, it could be liable for a fine.
