'One Dog and His Boy'

16, 2013]
"One Dog and His Boy,"
by Eva Ibbotson, 2012, 282 pages, ages 8-11
Review by
Louella Moreland
The bond formed between a dog and boy (or girl) is a lifelong friendship.
Author Eva Ibbotson understands this, as she demonstrates so beautifully in
her novel "One Dog and His Boy." The unconditional love the dog Fleck feels
for his human boy Hal, and Hal for him, will tug at your heartstrings
throughout this amusing and simply told tale.
Hal's 10th birthday is fast approaching, and once again he tries to make
his mother understand that all he wants is a dog. Hal is lonely. Changing
schools has left him with no real friends.
His mother does not, however, understand his desire. Dogs are messy,
noisy, and they shed. His very successful, jet-setting father leaves most
decisions to his Hal's mother, so it is unusual when he agrees to a dog.
Hal's mother is outraged until her husband explains that the dog will only
be rented for a few a days. Hal's father believes that will be long enough
for the boy to tire of a dog and go on to be interested in something else.
In the meantime, Kayley works as a kennel maid at Easy Pets, a
pet-renting agency. While getting takeout, Kayley's family discovers a stray
dog of mixed breeding. They cannot keep him in their rental, so she takes
him to work, convincing her employers he is a special new breed.
She loves and cares for all the dogs at the agency, but the ones who
share Room A are her favorites. That is where she installs the new dog she
names Fleck. His roommates are a St. Bernard named Otto, a Peke by the name
of Li Chee, a poodle called Francine, a collie who answers to the name of
Molly and a Mexican hairless called Queen Tilly.
Ibbotson gives each dog an amazing personality and creates a full
backstory of where and with whom they lived before ending up at the rental
agency. Each dog, including Fleck, has the same desire: to have a home where
they belong and humans to love.
[to top of second column]
Of course Hal is unaware of the rental agreement his father is
signing as the boy scans the cages at Easy Pets, searching for just
the right dog. Hal looks at all of them, with Kayley at his side. He
knows as soon as he sees Fleck that this is "his" dog. It seems
Fleck feels the same. Both are ecstatic to have found each other.
Their lives are going to be filled with love and fun.
Hal's mother begrudgingly tolerates the dog, knowing he will be
gone soon. Hal's father leaves on another business trip, forcing the
return of the dog on his wife. When Hal comes back from the dentist,
Fleck is gone.
Both dog and boy are heartbroken. After learning of the trick his
parents pulled on him, Hal hatches a plan to steal Fleck and run
away from home. His plan almost works, until Kayley's sister Pippa
(who is filling in as kennel maid since her sister has the flu)
releases all the other dogs in Room A as well. Both children take
off together in hopes of finding sanctuary with Hal's grandparents.
The adventures and misadventures of the trip form the bulk of the
story. Each dog meets up with a special friend along the way,
finding a lasting home in the end. Even Hal's parents learn a great
deal about their son by the ending page. This is, however, a story
about the dogs. It is a story of friendship, loyalty and love.
Perhaps along the way a human being or two can catch a few hints as
We have many stories about dogs, cats and other pets at the
Lincoln Public Library. Or you may wish to check out another book by
Eva Ibbotson. Come in and see us soon.

The OF prospects looked at were Jared Mitchell, Trayce Thompson, Brandon Short, Jordan Danks:
Thompson joined Kannapolis as an injury replacement after the start of the season and showed some of his upside. Right out of the gate he showed some massive power numbers and a decent walk rate. Naturally, an injury cost him a lot of the season and he slumped later on. Today is his 20th birthday so he has plenty of time, but it's awful to lose development time like he did last year. He's already well-regarded by scouts and publications alike, but 2011 could be a big breakout year since it will be his first full pro season if he stays healthy.

Foley, Malloy continue their sharp exchanges
HARTFORD -- The morning after their fiery televised confrontation, candidates for governor Wednesday first focused on policy, but eventually dissolved into an argument about bedpans.
Speaking in a forum at the 28th annual convention of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, Democrat Dannel Malloy promised to keep current levels of state support for municipalities and public education.
Republican Tom Foley vowed to solve the state's looming $3.4 billion deficit without raising taxes.
He said that attrition, not layoffs, will be able to get the state workforce downsized without a painful contraction.
Seated at a table and separated on stage by Chester First Selectman Tom Marsh -- the Independent Party candidate for governor who was shut out of Tuesday's television spectacle -- Malloy and Foley ended up arguing over support from state unions and nursing home employees.
During a question from the crowd about the conveyance tax, a levy on real estate transactions that is split by the state and cities, the forum spiraled into near comedy.
As Foley attempted to joke about which "Tom" Malloy was criticizing -- pointing to his left at Marsh -- Malloy, a former prosecutor and former 14-year mayor of Stamford, went off.
"Don't be Dan, Don't be vague," Foley said, laughing.
"Vague?" Malloy countered, his voice rising. "In the dictionary your picture is next to that word."
The issue fulminated as Foley, claiming evidence that Malloy has promised to protect state unions if elected, set off Malloy.
"You like to say I walked a picket line," Malloy said in the Connecticut Convention Center. "I walked a picket line for women being paid $12 an hour to change bedpans. When's the last time you changed a bedpan?"
"When was the last time you changed a bedpan?" Foley replied.
"Actually I have," said Malloy, whose mother was a nurse. "When I was growing up my mother used to drive me to nursing homes and said `get out and help.' "
"I took care of my parents at home," Marsh interjected to the laughter and applause of the audience.
"Stop wasting my time," one of the CCM members shouted.
"You think people being paid $12 an hour to change bedpans, do you think that's a fair salary and do you think they should have benefits?" Malloy asked Foley.
"What do you think of the conveyance tax, Dan?" Foley said.
"Tom, this is the difference between you and I. I've advocated for that tax year after year after year," said Malloy, a former CCM president.
"As a mayor I understood what the importance was in the absence of a performing property tax system in this state because that is one of the things that we were relying on."
After the forum, Foley, who has not been endorsed by unions, told reporters that Malloy made an agreement to protect unions next year during the budgeting process.
Malloy denied that he has made a deal for union support.
"If I become governor, everything is on the table," he said.

Up and down the island, Irish exhibition spaces house renowned international treasures that can be seen and admired far from the madding crowds of the major celebrity galleries
When it comes to visual arts, Ireland wears its wealth lightly: there are works on display that are internationally famous and, yet, thanks to a kind of national diffidence, you don't have to queue for hours, pay through the nose OR battle through crowds to show your appreciation.
The Ulster Museum's collection, for instance, houses beautiful British and Irish works from the 17th century to the present day. Reynolds and Gainsborough hang alongside Jack B Yeats and John Lavery; Modernist Mainie Jellett, who brought Cubism to Ireland, is side by side with contemporary artist Basil Blackshaw.
The island's headliner, though, is probably Dublin's long-lost Caravaggio work, The Taking of Christ, which had been hanging grubby and misattributed ("a silk purse pawned off as a sow's ear", according to the New York Times) in a seminary dining room.
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
In 1990, the Jesuit owners sent the dingy canvas to be cleaned, whereupon a specialist spotted its true worth. The Taking of Christ now hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland, and what a picture it is!
The New York Times called it "gorgeous and stark", and asks whether, with its "dramatic angled lighting and deeply shadowed backgrounds – did Caravaggio invent film noir?"
John Bailey, an American cinematographer, goes further. "His dramatic staging and compositional daring alone are enough to elevate his work into intense veneration by filmmakers. But it is the light that almost burns through the canvas."
Despite the adulation, The Taking of Christ only came second in a 2012 competition to find Ireland's favourite painting. The winner? William Burton's 1864 neo-Medievalist confection, Meeting on the Turret Stairs, which is also hanging in the National Gallery, although you'll have to time your visit carefully to see both paintings – Burton's watercolour is so fragile it is only displayed for three hours each week.
Seeing where an artist works is intriguing. In Dublin's Hugh Lane Gallery, Francis Bacon's studio has been meticulously reconstructed – a gargantuan task, given that the artist admitted, "I work much better in chaos". Around 7,500 pieces – paintings, photographs, trousers, bottles, books and drawings – were shipped, along with the doors that he used as canvases, to the gallery. Curators then spent three years putting it all back together.
"The gallery itself is a must, as it offers a body of work that is nothing but top shelf," says the Australian Sydneycool website. But Bacon's studio is "the highlight".
Another very different studio is re-created in Banbridge, County Down. Sculptor FE McWilliam, a friend of English sculptor Henry Moore, is best known for his surrealist renderings of the human body. The studio was brought over from London and rebuilt just as he left it, seen through glass walls that overlook a sculpture garden. The adjoining gallery and garden showcases his work, along with work by other artists.
As Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw wrote, "Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable." And where better to appreciate this art than in spaces fully befitting of the artists' masterpieces.

I finished my shopping on December 23. Why, yes, I am a procrastinator!
The Hero worked on Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve morning was spent at the doctor's office. Both kids had ear infections.
I wrapped presents while they slept.
LM & LB got new Christmas jammies.
We made cookies for Santa.
We watched Elf.
Once they were asleep, I played Santa.
The Hero came home on Christmas morning.
The kids opened their presents.
The bikes from Santa were a huge hit!
We headed to The Hero's parent's house to exchange gifts with the fam.

Re; How to edit or add jutsus to a character
When you create a jutsu, you also creates a infobox for the jutsu. In the jutsu infobox, you add who used the jutsu. Then the infobox system will add the jutsu's name in the users infobox. Might take some time before the infoboxes update themselves, so after you have made the jutsu page, it might take 24 hours until the jutsu is listed in the users infobox.

Way back ten, eleven years ago, before there were blogs and other social media, my buddies and I would email each other quite frequently at all odd hours. We were friends, once removed, with a bunch of bikers known as the Go Nowhere Gang. They weren't apathetic losers. To the contrary, they were a smart group of guys with good careers. They just didn't go far that often. Their idea of a long ride was to the next town.
Even back then, I would occasionally opine on sports. The emails are long gone now. They probably are part of the cyber mist, but I recall writing about Tiger Woods and Kevin Harvick. Around this time, IU fired Bobby Knight and I wrote one with the witty subject line "Indiana's Knightmare." The parallels aren't perfect, but the recently revealed scandal at Penn State reminded me of those days. I probably would have dashed off some email full of bullshit about Joe Paterno to my friends. I'm not smatter now, but I hope that I am wiser.
One thing that that scandal did accomplish is that it got Dennis and Callahan to stop talking about the Red Sox collapse. For those of you who get their power delivered by CL&P, Boston did not make the playoffs this year. Terry Francona is gone. Theo Epstein left for Chicago. Dirty Water turned to vinegar. I knew that Epstein's grandfather and great uncle wrote Casablanca. I did not know that his sister wrote for the TV show Homicide: Life on the Streets. (I once complained that Detective Munch has a longer Wikipedia entry than Richard Belzer himself and someone accused me of Wikigroaning, but I digress.) That show crossed over with Law and Order several times. Epstein helped write an episode called "For God and Country." Jerry Orbach guest starred as Lenny Briscoe.
Arthur Branch was the Manhattan DA on L&O for a few years. Fred Thompson played him. Thompson actually had some prosecutorial experience and was minority counsel on the Senate Watergate Committee. Another counsel was then Cubs fan Hillary Rodham. She was a Yale Law classmate of Larry Lucchino. Lucchino was counsel on the House committee considering impeachment. He was a protégé of Edward Bennett Williams and would later become Theo Epstein's boss. BTW, Lucchino was a Princeton alum who roomed and played hoops with Bill Bradley, but that's a story for another day.
That Senate Watergate Committee and its hearing was my first exposure to politics. I vaguely recall it being on TV instead of whatever kids show I wanted to watch at the time. I've had an on and off fascination with it since then. I've saved only a few newspaper clippings in my life, but one was a Hartford Courant article from 1999 speculating that Mark Felt was Deep Throat. This was a few years before Bob Woodward and Felt admitted this. I've read quite a few books on the topic over the years; the Woodward and Bernstein ones as well as bios by many of the co-conspirators like Liddy, Dean, and Haldeman. At one point, I was sympathetic to Nixon. These days, not so much. Anyways, it is back in the news again. Nixon's grand jury testimony has been released.
Penn State? That's not a scandal. Watergate? Now that was a scandal. /Crocodile Dundee

Guido Crepax was born in Milan in 1933. He studied at the School of Architecture at the University of Milan. After graduating, he made his debut in comics in 1959 when he contributed his work to Tempo Medico. He joined the new magazine Linus in 1965 with a fantasy comic, 'Neutron'. This superhero comic featured a minor character, a reporter called Valentina, and she grew out to be Crepax' big creation.
After 'Valentina', other titles followed, such as 'L'Astronave Pirata' (1968), 'La Casa Matta' (1969), 'La Calata di Mac Similiano' (1969), 'Belinda' and 'Bianca'. Recurring themes were those of victimized girls, sadomasochism and violence. It is not surprising that Guido Crepax illustrated classic erotic stories like De Sade's 'Justine', Pauline Réage's 'Histoire d'O' and Sacher-Masoch's 'Venus in Furs'.
Guido Crepax drew delicate girls, many of them inspired by actress Louise Brooks, whom Crepax adored. His subtle, esthetic graphics have earned him fame all over the world. He died on 31 July, 2003, at the age of 70.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 05, 2012
A good facelift provides patients with long-lasting results, but it can be difficult for plastic surgeons to specifically predict just how long surgical facial rejuvenation will turn back the clock. Experts at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) in Vancouver, Canada, will address the issues affecting facelift longevity and how to talk to patients about what to expect. "How Long Will My Facelift Last, Doctor?" will be led by moderator Leo R. McCafferty, MD, and feature panelists Chris Inglefield, MD, Mark L. Jewell, MD, Brian M. Kinney, MD, and W. Grant Stevens, MD.
"There are many interesting questions we'll be discussing," said Dr. Barton, of Dallas, TX. "What anatomic criteria should we use to determine the longevity of facelift procedures, and is longevity correlated with the type of procedure? How do you differentiate loosening of the surgical suspension versus further aging? Do some areas of facial rejuvenation last longer than others? How does the longevity of secondary procedures compare to that of primary ones?"
"Plastic surgeons would like to offer rejuvenation procedures that last forever, and most patients would like this as well!" said Dr. Grotting, of Birmingham, AL. "This panel will give us an opportunity to try to reach some consensus on what we should be telling patients about how long they can expect to benefit from the investment they are making."
Depending on the techniques used and other factors such as patient lifestyle and genetics, the results of a facelift can be maintained for up to a decade, or even longer. However, many patients don't realize that the clock always starts to tick again right after surgery.
"There are a lot of factors that determine how fast or slow the clock ticks after a facelift—and that's what we'll be discussing on the panel," said Dr. Feldman, of Cambridge, MA. "Aside from that, however, if the surgery is done well, then the patient will always look younger and better having had it done than not."
Cost considerations, the desire for shorter periods of downtime after a procedure, and the availability of less aggressive facial rejuvenation techniques have been changing patient preferences and choices about how to attain a youthful look. The classic surgical procedure for facial rejuvenation is long-lasting, but post-operative recovery time can range from two to six weeks. Many patients today are choosing to forgo invasive facial surgery in favor of minimally or non-invasive techniques—even if it means more frequent touch-ups are needed.
"Instead of the classic facelift with a variable recovery time, most patients prefer a shorter procedure that can be maintained over a number of years, if required, by a small retightening in the surgeon's office under local anaesthetic, allowing for an immediate return to work," said Dr. De Benito, of Barcelona, Spain. "In the past, the question of recovery time was not considered a key part of the surgeon's work. Nowadays, consideration of recovery time is indispensable."
In 2011, 116,086 facelift procedures were performed in the United States, making it the seventh most popular cosmetic surgical procedure, according to ASAPS.

Members of the Perry County Sheriff Office respond to the scene at Hazard Community College, Jan. 15, after a shooting at the school in Hazard, Ky. Authorities say two people were shot and killed and a teen was wounded in the parking lot.
Updated 12:50 a.m. ET: Two people were killed and a teenager was wounded in the parking lot of a Kentucky community college, authorities said.
The shooting took place before 6 p.m. at Hazard Community and Technical College, according to LEX18.com. The teenager was flown to the University of Kentucky hospital, 120 miles away.
Hazard Police Chief Minor Allen said the shooting could be could be related to a domestic situation, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported. The suspect, identified by police as Dalton Stidham, turned himself in to Kentucky State Police, the Herald-Leader reported. Police said Stidham faced two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, according to WLEX TV.
Police identified the victims as Caitlin Cornett and her uncle, Jackie Cornett. The injured teen is Jackie Cornett's daughter, WLEX reported.
Caitlin Cornett was a student at the college, according to a WLEX reporter. Hazard Assistant Chief Joe Engle told the Herald-Leader that preliminary information indicated that Stidham and Caitlin Cornett had a child in common and were meeting in a parking lot of the school to exchange the child for visitation.
A notice on the school's website said that an "incident" had occurred on campus, adding, "We ask that you please stay away from campus at this time."
The college's academic programs range from associate's degrees in arts and sciences to career-focused training in mining technology and heavy-equipment operation.

We went on a hike today, and for the first time in several months, I hiked beyond my usual rocky-flowery point (here, first set of photos) to this bonzai-like piñon tree, and beyond that all the way up the hill.
We saw a fair number of different kinds of wildflowers. This is a broomrape, Orobanche L, possibly this one. It's parasitic on other plants and shrubs, just like Indian paintbrush.
Walking up the hill, I pondered the geology. Here, looking south toward Ward Mountain, you can see some variably dipping limestone and shale formations, which I knew to be cut by the low-angle Chainman Fault, which usually places the Ely Limestone on top of the Chainman Shale (younger on older).
After getting back, I stitched several photos together and did some more pondering (click all to enlarge if desired).
I started drawing lines and stratigraphic map symbols. The section starts with a little bit of Permian Riepe Spring Limestone (Prs), above Pennsylvanian Ely Limestone (doublePe), above Mississippian Chainman Shale (Mc), above Mississippian Joana Limestone (Mj), above Devonian-Mississippian Pilot Shale (MDp), above the Devonian Guilmette Formation (Dg). These are fairly widespread and common units in eastern to east-central Nevada, with the cyclothemic Ely Limestone and the two shale formations sandwiching the Joana Limestone being good place markers for figuring out where one is in the section.
Then I went nuts and added teeth to the two low-angle faults, which have been mapped as thrust faults on the two quadrangle maps of the area. To my surprise, I found that the maps show not only the Chainman Fault, which I already knew about, but they also show a low-angle fault between the Joana Limestone and underlying Pilot Shale. I had concluded on this walk that there had to be a fault there, at least on the east side of my photo-drawing, where the Guilmette is rudely cut off by the Joana.
This section and these faults can be seen on the south side of Highway 50 just west of Ely, although the view will be somewhat obscurred by roadcuts and steep hills.
On the way down, I found this rock specimen of a microfault in Devonian or Silurian limestone or dolomite. All in all, it was a good hike.

Ortiz Helps Sox Top Yanks
NEW YORK (AP) — David Ortiz hit his 450th homer, a colossal three-run drive, and Dustin Pedroia had three RBIs during his second consecutive three-hit game to lead the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees 8-5 Sunday night.
John Lackey (9-5) labored through five innings before four Red Sox relievers pitched shutout ball the rest of the way. Boston took two of three in the series to finish a 4-6 road trip and improve to 6-13 away from home this month.
Mark Teixeira and Carlos Beltran homered for the Yankees, who have dropped six of eight. Rookie right-hander Chase Whitley (3-2) struggled for the second straight start, allowing five runs and eight hits in four-plus innings, as six New York pitchers combined for eight walks.
Koji Uehara worked a perfect ninth for his 18th save in 19 attempts.

Cynwise reminded me that Children's week is coming next week… err tomorrow… for me. Not only that, but has provided an AWESOME guide for veterans and reluctant noobs alike in The School Of Hard Knocks.
Endario suggested I get my rant warmed up. It's going to be a hell of a week in the Battlegrounds, whether you know them back to front, or only discover the BG interface tomorrow.
I will rant of course. I love to rant. My next achievement will score me the title
Gnomeaggedon the Mad Ranter
I'm also a little /silly.
So when I started thinking about this (and realized that I don't have the achievement myself – two rants coming up) it occurred to me that having Orphans in the BGs could be a little fun, if we are proactive about it.
What is your 1st reaction when someone gets their Orphan on?
I bet it isn't…
Ohh yay, noob PvE'rs hunting achievements in my BGs!
It's more likely to be...
F'n noobs in their F'n PvE gears destroying my F'n BG fun.
Now let's look at it from the other side of the fence. No I'm not talking about the BG experience fence, we already know the BG noobs are trembling in their virtual boots. Let's look at it…
Across the Faction Fence.
When you see an enemy charging down a node with their Orphan out, what's your 1st thought?
How about:
F'n noob, you will die before you know what hit you!
Bait & Switch
So if we all know that "the only people in the BGs with their Orphans out" are noobs… Let's invite attacks from the enemy by appearing to be noobs!
This will achieve several worthwhile goals at once:
- it will make the noobs a little more comfortable, a little less exposed.
- it will confuse the enemy, as they won't know who the easy targets are any more.
- it might get you an achievement you didn't know you didn't have.
One more body from a distance, means one less attacker coming your way.
I often get my Argent Squire out for arenas. To be honest I don't like this "pet" (The stupid Squire needs to ask Gnomeaggedon of Gnomeregan which faction banner he should carry… back in your box squire), but when we burst out of the gates, it's one more body the enemy team has to filter out.
From Lumber Mill, 3 players and their Orphans may be easily confused for 6 players. Who doesn't want twice the numbers of the enemy?
Enough smoke & mirrors, let's get friendly!
Over the next couple of day, knock up this macro to spam while waiting for the game to commence.
/bg Welcome to my Battleground Achievement Hunters!
/bg You have a goal I would like to help you with. Please press 1 now if you are here for Children's Week.
/bg Everyone take note. Let's help them help us. Where possible let them cap or carry.
/bg Achievement Hunters please return the favor by helping us win – follow instructions, call incomings and don't drop out once you have your cap
/bg You never know, you might enjoy it and we might get a great new Battlegrounder!
Gnomer and Out!
Their way, or the Highway
I just noted that Cynwise has come up with two more excellent suggestions on this topic:
Take you pick.. enjoy yourself either way!

Incidentally, while looking for information on Canadian content rules for my last post, I came across The Truth About Tracy, heralded by many as the worst television show ever made. A Youtube clip sort of confirms the verdict:
The history is fascinating. CTV was apparently close to bankruptcy, but nonetheless, mandated to air at least 60% Canadian content. They needed to fill hours and hours every day with local content. In the early years, there wasn't even a big backlog of well-loved reruns, which meant they could either continuously recycle a few shows that everyone had already seen, or film thousands of episodes a year of new content to fill the time. Unfortunately, Canada, with 1/10th the population of the United States, was not a big enough market to support lots of expensive programming, with, y'know, writers, and sets.
So instead, in the early 1970s, Canadians got "The Trouble with Tracy", a light updating of old radio scripts filmed in a room, with production values that would hardly do for a home video these days. They filmed 130 episodes, running them five days a week. The radio heritage really shows in this clip--you wouldn't miss much if you opened another tab on top of it, and just listened rather than watching.
The American in me wants to ask what on earth the point of this was. Sure, it undoubtedly created a handful of jobs. But was anyone really better off because the 3:30 pm slot contained homegrown Canadian garbage? Even the actors seem vaguely ashamed of themselves.
Of course, that was a long time ago. The country has gotten richer, and the content has gotten better; lots of people my age grew up on Degrassi Junior High and The Kids in the Hall.
And yet, when you consider the sheer volume of content that is created for the Canadian market, what's noticeable is how little identifiably Canadian material ends up on this side of the border. There's a lot of "Canadian content" here--lots of television series filmed in Vancouver, for example. But they're not exporting much Canadian content. Is that because Americans wouldn't like a show about Toronto? Or because the Canadian market still isn't big enough to subsidize many competitive exports?

Well, it's really nanny city because it is just Norman, and more than nannyism this really just violates the U.S. legal stance of innocent until proven guilty. I'm betting this bit of stupidity will end up costing the city of Norman a boat-load of legal fees and a dumping of the asinine law after the first court battle.
Fools in the city council mean wasted city funds.
From the link:
A new ordinance unanimously approved Tuesday by the Norman City Council will require residents to prove, in a court of law, they did not litter, rather than having the city attempt to prove they did.
The council unanimously approved the ordinance that holds businesses and individuals accountable for unlawfully discarded trash or litter.
City of Norman Utilities Director Ken Komiske said the littering ordinance targets those who discard trash inside, or next to, common dumpsters used by several businesses. Business owners on Campus Corner asked city officials to help them find a solution to the overflow of trash surrounding shared dumpsters on Campus Corner, he said.

May 19, 2007-Back into the Southwest Monsoon
Rail Meat
Last summer in Singapore we had great sailing winds week after week; during July and August it was the season for the Southwest Monsoon and we had 15 to 20 knots on several occasions. June or July are the normal months when the SW Monsoon starts in this part of Asia but already this year in May we've had nice South Westerly winds two weekends in a row. Not twenty knots, but ten and steady.
Perfect winds for practicing and our practices are starting to show some results.
Last week we sailed out past Marambong Island where we had some sea room and we had a great practice. We went up wind for an hour, tack on tack, and got into a good rhythm. People are getting comfortable with their roles. We marked the newly painted deck for the car and halyard positions. Then we moved people around a bit and had some cross training.
Johore Straights
When the clock told us our time was half gone we set up the kite and did a sweet bear away set and then fell into a jibe around a parked tanker.
A few jibes and some other foredeck exercises like moving the jib over for a port rounding and then back for a floater takedown later and we were all feeling the luxury of the time to try things without the pressure of a short leg in a real race.
Finally back near Marambong we dropped the kite for good and set sail for Raffles Marina. The cooler came on deck and we had some cold drinks compared notes on what worked and what didn't, and we relaxed for the sail home. It was good.
This Saturday we went out for a fun race and it was another great day of sailing with eight to twelve knots of wind oscillating out of the SW. Several people on our crew were out of town and we dipped into the list of alternates but even these folks are doing pretty good. We are starting to have some depth in the crew.
Of course the race wasn't perfect. We had some indecision on the sail selection before the start and then got to the starting area late, and missed the first signal. Then we found our selves on port tack facing a line of starters on starboard. We ducked behind them and tacked at the boat end to start a little late but on the right side for the expected shift.
We had a nice beat, a nice set and we were in good shape down the run vying with one other boat for the lead.
Then the wheels came of a bit. We were late getting the jib ready after having a problem with the luff and we couldn't set the jib. So we jibed at the mark and tried to carry the kite on the next leg, but it was too high and when the inboard end of the pole went up the mast and we couldn't level the pole we had to get the chute down still without a jib.
So we rounded the next mark bareheaded and we lost first place but no other boats got by before things were sorted out and we finished a credible second. Not too bad.
Racing is harder than a leisurely practice though and after eight short legs we had a boat load of tired sailors, some didn't have enough energy left to decide whether they wanted a cold beer or power drink. (I had no problem with that decision).
But there were no complaints about the day and people are starting to think about Phuket in December when King's Cup rolls around. Maybe, just maybe, we'll be ready.

1Whoever does this grows no richer;
those who waste the little they have will be stripped bare.
2Wine and women make the heart lustful,
and the companion of prostitutes becomes reckless.a
3Rottenness and worms will possess him,
and the reckless will be snatched away.b
4Whoever trusts others too quickly has a shallow mind,
and those who sin wrong themselves.
5Whoever gloats over evil will be destroyed,
6and whoever repeats gossip has no sense.
7Never repeat gossip,
and no one will reproach you.c
8Tell nothing to friend or foe;
and unless it be a sin for you, do not reveal a thing.d
9For someone may have heard you and watched you,
and in time come to hate you.
10Let anything you hear die with you;
never fear, it will not make you burst!
11Having heard something, the fool goes into labor,
like a woman giving birth to a child.
12Like an arrow stuck in a fool's thigh,
so is gossip in the belly of a fool.
13Admonish your friend—he may not have done it;
and if he did, that he may not do it again.e
14Admonish your neighbor—he may not have said it;
and if he did, that he may not say it again.
15Admonish your friend—often it may be slander;
do not believe every story.
16Then, too, a person can slip and not mean it;
who has not sinned with his tongue?f
17Admonish your neighbor before you break with him;
and give due place to the Law of the Most High.† g
20All wisdom is fear of the LORD;
and in all wisdom, the observance of the Law.† h
22The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom,
nor is there prudence in the counsel of sinners.
23There is a shrewdness that is detestable,
while the fool may be free from sin.
24Better are the God-fearing who have little understanding
than those of great intelligence who violate the Law.
25There is a shrewdness keen but dishonest,
and there are those who are duplicitous to win a judgment.
26There is the villain bowed in grief,
but full of deceit within.
27He hides his face and pretends not to hear,
but when not observed, he will take advantage of you:
28Even if his lack of strength keeps him from sinning,
when he finds the right time he will do harm.
29People are known by their appearance;
the sensible are recognized as such when first met.
30One's attire, hearty laughter, and gait
proclaim him for what he is.
* [19:5–17] An excellent commentary on bearing false witness (Ex 20:16; Dt 5:20). Ben Sira speaks harshly about calumny, rash judgment, and detraction (vv. 5–7), and urges discreet silence (vv. 8–12). Justice requires that an accused neighbor be given a hearing, and charity urges fraternal correction; both together fulfill the law of the Most High (vv. 13–17); cf. Mt 7:1–2; 18:15–16.
† [19:17] Other ancient texts read as vv. 18–19:
18 Fear of the Lord is the beginning of acceptance;
and wisdom from him obtains love.
19 Knowledge of the Lord's commandments is life-giving instruction;
those who do what pleases him will harvest the fruit of the tree of immortality.
* [19:20–30] True wisdom is contrasted with a dishonest shrewdness.
† [19:20] Other ancient texts read as v. 21:
The slave who says to his master, "What pleases you I will not do"—
even if he does it later, provokes the one who feeds him.
e. [19:13] Lv 19:17; Mt 18:15; Lk 17:3.

As Seen on My Computer Screen This Week...Items That Are Notable and Quotable
Today was my final day before a week long Thanksgiving break. While these days can be very difficult, today's "day before break begins" was actually very enjoyable. Our fourth graders experienced Gobble Up Books Day, an activity very similar to DEAR (Drop Everything and Read). We read all day……….students read books based on their independent reading level and took Accelerated Reader tests for comprehension in every class. Over the last few weeks all of my students except for three have qualified for a reward party based on the number of points they have accumulated. The three that haven't yet are well on their way, and I should have 100% by Christmas. One of my unmotivated boys has reached his goal. When I found out I sought him out in the lunchroom, placed my arm around his shoulder and said, "I'm so proud of your accomplishment. If you keep this up you will be a dynamite 5th grader." He just grinned. After lunch he was the first one in the room saying, "C'mon, let's get back to reading. I love to read!" It was a lovely day. I got to read all day as well. No discipline problems. No petty tattle-telling. I swear I entered a parallel universe today. I already have thanksgiving in my heart.
On the other hand Mrs. Cornelius spent quite a different day than I did. See her recap here.
Deemae, recently commented on my post Disclose Your Favorite Top Five . I did the polite thing and quickly responded to her comment before clicking on through to visit her site. She had a lovely post titled Thankful For a Good Story. Click on over and read it here. It takes random acts of kindness to a different kind of level.
Have you been by BibliOdyssey lately? The pictures simply amaze me. The technical drawings seen here resemble Leonardo da Vinci but are the work of Mariano di Iacopo, who began at the age of 50 to produce engineering manuscripts. Scroll down past several pictures to read the informative text.
J.L. Bell over at Boston, 1775 has been posting a series of articles about Boston vocabulary I find very interesting. Here is a post on the meaning of "little-house" along with sections of testimony from the trials following the Boston Massacre.
Mountainmanteacherguy, I mean Californiateacherguy, absolutely amazed me this week with his Thursday Thirteen. Go read it here.
Daily Perspective has an update regarding changes at NewspaperARCHIVE.com. The post states: once the changes go through you will be able to read news from each in history…right on the homepage…….each day will also feature current news linked to related newspaper articles from the past, helping to give you some historical perspective on today's headlines. See the post here.
Well, what I have mentioned here isn't all that is notable and quotable out and about, but these blogs I've mentioned are right up there at the top.
Give these folks a shout out and then go find more…a good start would be at my links list.

How kind of you, EHT, to include me in your little roundup. Thank you! I promise some more ruminations on my experiences with primitive (or simple) living. Keep visiting!

Thanks for the very kind mention!
I imagine my day might have been better if WE got a 9 day break for Thanksgiving. Obviously, you people on the coasts are blessed, dadgumit! The kids were just completely wired-- especially the girls.
I hate girl-fights.

Thanks for coming over to Thursday Thirteen. I read you all the time. I'm a Georgia 5th grade teacher, too. Keep up the good work. You make me proud.

Sorry Ms. C. May your school board soon see the light. If it wil make you feel any better for the last two years we have also had a week off in October for Fall break. They took it away this year and only gave us two days.
Wow, teachergirl. Thanks for the compliments. I'm glad you read me all the time. I'll make sure I come by and read you as well. I didn't know you were there. I wonder though.....who else is out there reading me all the time that I don't about? Don't ya think it's time you let me know? :)

- Let's celebrate Rhii's second 80
- Let's celebrate Saresa's psycho Tree healing site.
- Let's celebrate Almaster, because he's there, he's a Pally and he's tagged me too
- Let's celebrate Mages across Azeroth that have put down their fireballs, arcane blasts and deepfreeze for a little healing love.
I have been tagged by Rhii, Saresa and Almaster, two of whom like me, are DPS gone to the light side. I had seen this meme floating around, but haven't had the chance to peruse it in any of posts properly.
Rhii gives a breakdown on where it has all come from:
I decided to steal the most excellent Miss Medicina's non-meme questionnaire. Which I also read about on Tamarind, Oriniwen, and Kyrilean's blogs. Since I've been a healer for such a short time, nobody's likely to tag me so I tag me! Besides, it's not a meme, I don't need to be tagged to play. YAY! So here goes.
What is the name, class, and spec of your primary healer?
Gnomeaggedon, Gnome Frostfire Mage.
Hang on, this is about me…
Squidly, level 76 Resto Shaman
Pffft you aren't even 80… Let's stick with the real Gnome behind this blog!
Oi, I'm the only healer (Unless Mr. Tree or Mr. Z! speak up).
Well, let me prove you wrong!
What is your primary group healing environment? (i.e. raids, pvp, 5 mans)
5 mans, raids, PvP, I do it all. Emphasis was on 10 man raids, but you will see me in the other locations more often these days.
50/50 5 mans and PvP. Wherever someone is taking damage, you will find the Squid!
What is your favorite healing spell for your class and why?
Mmm that's a hard one…
Circle of anti-healing (Flamestrike and Blizzard) or my HoT, Living Bomb.
Hey they aren't healing spells you silly Gnome!
Of course they are, think of me as a Disc Priest. I don't cure so well, but I certainly reduce the amount of incoming damage. A dead Mob does no damage!
Pffft, OK then. My favorite healing spell has to be chain lightning. Especially when I crack the 4 targets. It's a beautiful geometry best viewed from above.
That said Earth Shield and Riptide mean I can go on extended AFKs, which is great because there is plenty of time for that with the right tank and intelligent DPS.
What healing spell do you use least for your class and why?
A Lock's health stone. Apart from the fact that they are created by Locks, they interfere with the beauty of my Mana Gems.
Ohh bandages, tend to get forgotten as well unless the tank is in trouble and the healer down.
Squidly: least favorite? I use them all, I love them all.
What do you feel is the biggest strength of your healing class and why?
Damage reduction through superior firepower!
Earth Shield is nuts, protect and heal at the same time!
Riptide, HoT em up, then cast a real heal over the top for better healing results.
Chain Heal… Why heal one when you can heal them all.
Ancestral Healing, buy one heal, get one free… Love it, especially as I am often the recipient, less worry about me.
In a 25 man raiding environment, what do you feel, in general, is the best healing assignment for you?
Trash healing. Tank rounds them up and I burn them down before they hurt anyone else.
Squidly: mmm that's level 80 stuff isn't it?
I guess I have plenty of 10-40 man experience in BGs.
The best healing assignment for me in BGs is the following.
- People that protect me (especially if still attempting to complete BG goals)
- People attempting to complete BG goals (flag carriers etc)
- People that are hurting but will live long enough to collect my heal
- Basically wherever there is a need for healing, I will be there.
So basically "raid" healing
What healing class do you enjoy healing with most and why?
Mage, the best defensive healing is an offensive fireball!
Ohh you me by my side…
I love the constant trickle of Druid Hots.. it's like warm honey dripping down my back. Pallies are good too, I love me a bubble!
Ummm I like me, I am shaman. I tried pretending to be a Druid, but I only have one HoT. I tried being a Paladin, but I couldn't wear plate. I haven't tried Priests…. I have bad childhood memories involving priests and they don't include healing.
Who else do I like healing with… Druids are good. If they look after the Hots, I will drop some bombs in there to fix the big damage.
What healing class do you enjoy healing with least and why?
The one that ignores me… I am squishy… I will protect you, just HEALZ PLZ!
The only class of healer I don't like healing with is the class of healer that forgets they can heal and DPS instead… Hello BGs.
I think many players enter BGs thinking that it's just all about killing or being killed. The smart one realise the more they prevent the "be killed" part of the equation, the more the "kill" bit can be fulfilled.
Seriously if you got em, flaunt them. Wve them in the face of the Horde
I got heals! Narny Narny Nah Nah! We got heals and you don't!
What is your worst habit as a healer?
Forgetting my heals don't actually heal… If that mob gets to me, well it's probably too late.
Hah! there, see you don't heal!
Mine is EarthShield/Riptide sleep healing.
80% of the instance will be sleep healing, then I get a rude shock. Which leads to my other worst habit… forgetting I can get off an instant heal. When the healing detail goes from nothing to everything, I struggle to remember where my other heals are, let alone use Natures Swiftness
What is your biggest pet peeve in a group environment while healing?
Healers that don't appreciate I want to stand in the BAD!
Mages that want to stand in the BAD!
Actually I don't mind people standing in the BAD. It gives me something to do and if they die I don't feel guilty.
So really there are two other peeves that get to me..
- Tanks that aren't tanks… either they are spec'd geared for DPS yet insist on tanking, or they are DPS that don't understand that we brought someone along specifically to take the hits… and they get 90% of my heals, not the "off tanking dps".
- Mages… I already mentioned them.. but having a generous Mage buddy, it annoys the Water Balls off me that Mages wont give me sustenance.
Do you feel that your class/spec is well balanced with other healers for PvE healing?
It will be once Blizzard wakes up, smells the roses and gives me my healing tree!
I think so. Shamans do pretty well. I often see LF1M requests specifically targeting Shaman. Ultimately if we are a little behind on the actual heals, we make up for it with our sexy totems.
What tools do you use to evaluate your own performance as a healer?
Recount… the higher my damage and DPS, the less healing everyone required.
Not being in the competitive healing world of raiding yet, I use a scale silimar to Rhii's.
- I'm alive – good healing
- Tank alive – better healing
- DPS alive – lucky bastards
- Everyone alive – Earth Shield/Riptide/Chain Heal FTW!
If I have mana left over I consider that a bonus too.. means we can keep on healing on.
What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about your healing class?
That I don' contribute to the healing effort… yeah they post their healing meters, pat themselves on the back blah blah blah.
But let's look at the important numbers… Healing received… I am at the bottom!
Damage done… see above!
That I care!
They think that as a healer I care about whether they live or die. I do to some extent, but hey as long as I don't die, we have won.
Probably my biggest annoyance is that they all spread out too much… Chain Heal will only jump so far.. it wont jump to/from you on the other side of the room, so a heal on you is wasted… see above.
What do you feel is the most difficult thing for new healers of your class to learn?
Mages are more important than anyone including the tank… I give you food and water, you give me exclusive heals… OK?
Staying awake.
Coming from a balls to the wall DPS background, the lulls in healing action can be quite mind numbing. I actually had a tank apologize to me last night for making my life so boring, so I encouraged him and the rest of the party to be a little stupid just so I had something to do… I was healing (occasionally), DPSing and I still had 100% mana… /yawn
If someone were to try to evaluate your performance as a healer via recount, what sort of patterns would they see (i.e. lots of overhealing, low healing output, etc)?
Lots of overheal (incoming), not much healing out going. So I suggest they review incoming damage to the healer… there is none? Ohh that's cause I took the bullet for them!
Really low activity rates… I would probably be inactive 60% of a fight… although I guess Riptide dots would hide that.
Lots of Overheal. Earthshield and Riptide will be ticking whether damage is happening or not (well, Earthshield will get activated by damage, but it might already be healed by Riptide). Chain Heal overheals… that spell was designed to rate high in the Overheal meters.
In a raid wide damage encounter (including BGs) you can expect to see us Shaman high on the heal charts, Chain heal just heals.. it sniffs out damage and repairs it.
Haste or Crit and why?
Crit, Crit, Crit… Bring on the grand daddy of Mage healing spells… Instant Pyroblast!
Gotta have crit… not too much, just enough.
After that, well everyone likes to get that heal of 0.1 second before thier target dies.
What healing class do you feel you understand least?
Mages.. I keep looking for that healing tree… it's not even in the utility Arcane tree…
Probably Shaman. I know that sounds silly, but I know enough about receiving heals from everyone else.. I just need to know more about delivering mine.
What add-ons or macros do you use, if any, to aid you in healing?
Addons: I have those Heads-up proc addons that tell you when something popped, died etc… too many of them too mention, all installed at once… don't want to miss an instant Pyro!
Macros.. lots of target of target macros. If the healer is getting hit, I just want to know who is doing it, then we can go outside and sort it all out Mobo-a-Gnomo.
Healbot does all my work
I also use target of target macros, but generally I am just clicking on Healbot like I am filling in an online job application. I play a little:
Enny Meanie, Minee Mo. Your standing in the Bad, and I'm going to let you go.
I just wish there was an addon that could do that automatically… like a slot machine I guess.
Do you strive primarily for balance between your healing stats, or do you stack some much higher than others, and why?
My priority stat goes like this:
+damage > +damage > +damage = dead mob… Not much to it really.
Balance is nice.. currently working on mp5 & spelldamage, crit and haste are OK, but I figure I need the bases covered 1st.
A hasted or critting crap heal is still going to be a crap heal.
OOM = OOHeals.
To be honest I can't wait to hit 80, just so I can do a little more of this, and little more of that.
I know there are quite a few DPS out there that dabble in heals.. so rather than out you, I will let you come forward and join in the big healy hugathon. Let me know if you do!
Gnome and Out, Squidly and Stout!

A few days after appearing at a Family Leader forum, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is the latest GOP presidential candidate to sign the group's controversial marriage pledge.
The pledge advocates several issues, including the Defense of Marriage Act, personal fidelity to the signee's spouse, appointment of "faithful constitutionalists" as judges, and reformation of anti-marriage elements in divorce, tax and welfare laws.
Family Leader head Bob Vander Plaats has said signing the pledge will be a prerequisite for the group's endorsement, one coveted among candidates seeking to nab the evangelical vote.
Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum have both signed the vow. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has indicated he would sign it if he could make a few modifications.
Family Leader spokeswoman Julie Summa said that while Perry has signed the pledge, it still needs to be shipped to the group. She's unaware if Perry has made any modifications.
"He is trying some Hail Mary passes late in the game," said GOP strategist and lawyer Doug Gross, who advised Mitt Romney's 2008 campaign. "This one probably won't work since he is appealing to the same voters as are a number of the other candidates when he should be focusing on a core group who don't want Romney and have no where else to go."
Perry's signing is the candidate's latest bid to land well with Iowa's social conservatives amid the candidate's single digit poll numbers.
Update: Perry's campaign confirms that the governor signed the pledge with no revisions.

St. Petersburg Calling
ST. PETERSBURG — Well, that turned out to be the most expensive haircut of my life. There was a 45-minute wait to take some off the top, so I headed over to the local Borders book establishment.
I wound up with three CDs and one book. I was pleasantly surprised with Borders' music selection — could've easily walked out with more. But I limited myself to three albums I've wanted for years, but never got around to buying:
The Clash's London Calling
Depeche Mode's Violator
Death Cab for Cutie's Plans
Plus, since I was such a huge fan of There Will Be Blood, I picked up Oil! by Upton Sinclair. I figured if PT Anderson read it and felt compelled to make TWBB, then I wanted to finally sit down and read it, too. Problem is, I'm always reading four or five books at once. So it's waiting its turn on the pile of novels back at my condo.
I listened Death Cab's smooth stylings on the way to Al Lang Field, which is by far one of my faves for taking in a spring game. Nothing like working in an outdoor pressbox in Florida with a sweet view of the Bay. This ballpark will be missed, but the designs I've seen for the new Rays park look fantastic. Blow up the Trop already.
The Jays aren't here yet, so I'm planning on listening to some Clash to drown out the obligatory pregame rap that's blaring through the speakers here. Other CDs sitting in my rental car include Pearl Jam's Vitalogy (my favorite album of all time), PJ's latest release, all three albums from The Killers, Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights, Sparta's Threes, With Teeth by Nine Inch Nails, the best of Johnny Cash, The Beatles' Revolver, and two albums by the late, great Elliott Smith (may he rest in peace).
Lineups Calling:
TORONTO (0-2) at TAMPA BAY (1-0)
Progress Energy Park at Al Lang Field at 1:05 p.m. ET
Reed Johnson, CF
Shannon Stewart, LF
Alex Rios, RF
Aaron Hill, 2B
Marco Scutaro, 3B
Rod Barajas, C
Russ Adams, 2B
John McDonald, SS
Curtis Thigpen, 1B
PITCHING: RHP Dustin McGowan, RHP Casey Janssen, among others
Akinori Iwamura, 2B
Carl Crawford, LF
Carlos Pena, 1B
Cliff Floyd, RF (Thornwood High School, baby!)
Rocco Baldelli, DH
Willy Aybar, 3B
Hector Gimenez, C
Jason Bartlett, SS
Fernando Perez, CF
PITCHING: RHP James Shields
I was hoping to see Rays third baseman Even Longoria today — ah, well. He could very well be this year's Rookie of the Year in the American League. Jays third baseman Scott Rolen was originally down to be the DH, but Hill traveled to St. Pete instead.
More later…Jays just arrived at the ballpark.

Let's hope there are no screwups with the lineup card today, prompting references to the Clash's criminally underrated "Card Cheat".
Oops, too late….:)
Hey Jordan.
I started reading Oil! before I TWBB even came out because I was so excited for the movie. (deserved more at the oscars). Sparta 3's is definitely a good album. I think they finally put it all together with that one. If you get a chance definitely try to catch them live. I saw them at lollapalooza in chicago in 06 and then in toronto october of 06. Which Elliott Smith albums are you listening to? From a basement on the hill is my personal favourite, its such a heartbreaking album.
haha forgot to mention about oil! Its a great book, but the first half (the part the movie is based on) is much stronger in my opinion. The second half kind of goes off track but overall still a great book. Im gonna pick up Sinclair's The Jungle next. I heard the Rolen is reading that one right now too.
I saw Sparta live when they opened for Pearl Jame at Melon Arena in Pittsburgh during PJ's Riot Act tour. That was when Sparta had just released their first album, following the collapse of At the Drive In. I've loved them ever since. Threes is definitely a solid album — probably my favorite of the three they've had. The two Smith CDs I have with me are From a Basement on a Hill and the two-disc New Moon. Either/Or is my favorite of his, though.
The Trop is bad, I know. Though I've never been, there's hardly a good word to be found on it. And despite that the Rogers Centre isn't the greatest park in the majors, it's hardly the Trop and the difference on a warm Saturday afternoon in July compared to any game at the Trop is vast.
That said, both stadiums were started and finished at about the same time. Both when compared to other MLB stadiums, are clearly social outcasts. And with Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Oakland, NYM, Florida, and Washington all expecting beautiful stadiums by 2010…that certainly would leave the Rogers Centre on its own a bit. Now a 20 year stadium life does seem a little short, and I know Rogers has put a good chunk of 30 million dollars into the Dome already, but I've got to think that in the next five or so years, some talk comes up in regards to a new stadium and/or significant, architectural renovations to change the entire look of the stadium.
All the bureaucracy aside in getting a stadium built, I've got to think the issue will at least pop up in the next few years.
Good lord Jordan, you have some horrifyingly bad taste in music! Good thing you know your baseball, because you'd make me cringe as a music critic!
I suppose that might be a bit harsh, because about half the stuff you mentioned was good, but the other half was so terribly, terribly bad that I can't even give you a pass for Johnny Cash. Death Cab For Cutie? Interpol? Good lord, talk about all hype and no substance! Vitalogy is your favourite album of all time? And here I was thinking Pearl Jam gave up being anywhere near decent about halfway through "Vs."
Anyways, I'll just have to keep in mind that if you ever hand me a CD and say "you'll love this!" that I should politely decline and just read your baseball articles. 🙂
ONEOFTHETOOLS: Nice. Isn't it great how taste in music can vary? Vs. is actually my least favorite of PJ's albums. I probably have over 30 PJ CDs and the grunge-era music is what I grew up on. I don't mind if you don't care for what tunes I dig on one bit. I have a wide range of groups across many genres I like. I just brought some of the recent stuff I've been cruising around to down to Florida with me — left all the Zeppelin and Stones back home for the spring.
Jordan, nice game today…
Anyways, You, my friend, need to get yourself some Pixies, some Rush and some Tool… Then you'd have some music to enjoy!
BTW, the name is Brandon, just so you don't have to address me by some weird Email address thing…
Anyways, I wasn't crazy about Vs., but there were a few decent songs on it, Ten was the only record of theirs that I actually liked cover to cover, and since then I haven't much cared for them at all.
I'm not going to be one to judge one on their musical tastes, as I do still appreciate your posts on Baseball, but I am a huge music snob as music is where I make my living, and really the way I live my life!
Anyways, keep up the awesome baseball posts, you're the only source for spring training Jays news.
BRADON TOOLS: I love the Pixies, have a few Tool albums and saw Rush live at SARSstock in Toronto a few years back. That concert was amazing, minus the fact that Justin Timberlake crashed the party. AC/DC by far put on the best show, and the Stones played that night, so that's saying something.

The Sticker that Saved
In our Parshat Terumah issue we related the story of the car driven by an Arab which was stopped at Erez checkpoint and identified by the checkpoint commander as a stolen vehicle because its bumper sticker had three Hebrew words on it: Ain od milvado. ("There is no one but Him.")
How that sticker got on to that bumper is a story in itself. Some yeshiva students involved in outreach in the Jerusalem suburb of Maaleh Adumim had approached one of the residents who had just purchased a brand new car and tried to interest him in religious observance. When he stubbornly refused to listen they politely departed but not before asking him if he would mind if they put a sticker on his bumper with a message of faith in G-d, and to their surprise he consented. Half an hour after the sticker was attached, the car was stolen from in front of the home of its owner who came running to the head of the yeshiva with a complaint of suffering such a loss after consenting to the placing of the sticker.
The rosh hayeshiva assured him that no harm could result from that sticker and even convened a group of students to say Tehillim for the distraught fellow to recover his car. An hour later the phone call came that the stolen car had been recovered – because of the identifying bumper sticker.

Is the agency Halloween Party on Friday. Have pre-filled my timesheets with work so I can 'get lunch at Garden's Centre' while picking up a l'il something a Party Tricks / Mardi Gras / Tinka Tonka Toys. Feel like I rly need 2 'bring it' this yr since the USA took Halloween to a whole new level (via Noah Cyrus aka Miley's sister aged 9)
Could always recycle my Amy Winehouse costume from the xmas party but will risk creatives saying 'it's been done b4'. Dress code is 'your baddest self' which is kinda vague (via PR organising a party & not rly getting the idea of "single-minded messaging").
Considering 'showing some tit' via saying I'm "dressed as Client Service", but worried no one will ask me what I'm dressed as (via thinking I rly am Client Service) & will have to drop the words I AM CLIENT SERVICE into casual conversation while ppl stare at my tits & don't listen 2 what I am saying. Is quite catch-22. Very confused. Will draw a graph.
Don't rly understand my graph. What are y'ulz gonna be this Halloween? Mike Schalit? John Farqhar? Brian Searle-Tripp? (miss u BST).

The unofficial end of summer marks the official beginning of legal action against The Honest Company and its founders, including actress Jessica Alba.
The Class Action complaint filed Sept. 3 in the United States District Court of California alleges the company's sunscreen is ineffective, and calls into question the company's marketing claims for an array of its products.
The legal action follows an NBC5 Investigates report first aired on NBC5 Chicago last July, in which hundreds of customers like Gretta Stabler of Naperville voiced concerns about the product, after she says she followed directions in applying it but her 6-year old daughter still suffered a sunburn.
