With the car packed and revved in readiness for a weekend of 100-plus degree outdoor schvitz-tivities in the desert, I eagerly awaited the FedEx man's arrival. He was bringing me a new Olympus PEN E-P3, which I would be testing in the field.
Olympus PEN E-P3
Lightning autofocus with bumped-up focus points from 11 to 35. Built-in flash. A dedicated video button. Full HD 1080i video at 60fps in AVCHD. 12mm f2 prime lens is the bomb. Shadow tone-adjustment feature adds latitude to images.
Would benefit from a new, improved sensor. All that metal means it's no lightweight. It's got so many features and options you might spend more time figuring it out than shooting. What happened to 24fps video?

When the first digital PEN took a bow nearly two years ago it was a bit of a show pony. One of the first Micro Four Thirds system cameras, it had the flowing gorgeous tactile throwback styling of the original film-firing PEN of the 1960s, but it was a flashless, slow-focusing piece of design-award-winning aspirational engineering. It took a lot of stones on the part of Olympus to put it out there like that and the manufacturer has taken a few knocks for it.
We're two PENs downstream today, and even though the look of the latest iteration is nigh on the same, Olympus claims this one's hopped up under the hood — it has double True Pic VI image processors for more speed, a zippier autofocus, better LCD, overhauled user interface and a Santa's bag full of other feature goodies. We'll see, I thought.
A few ticks past 10 a.m., the rumble of the white, purple and orange trunk pierced my caffeine-laced reverie. A scrawled signature later, I climbed into the car and my driver peeled out while I peeled the box open. Slapping the battery in the body's compartment (there's always a bit of a charge right out of the box), I fired up the PEN 3 and started shooting while riding shotgun.
It didn't take more than a minute or two for me to realize that Olympus had, indeed, seriously upgraded the guts. The most immediately apparent improvement is the cheetah-like autofocus, with, get this, an AF illuminator light. The Olympus mouthpiece later told me that in the company's own testing, it's the world's fastest single-AF focusing camera. I've no way to confirm their claim, but in a week's worth of shooting, I'd have to say, if it's not, then it's pretty damn close.
The second revelation is the screen. It's a bit larger than PEN 2, but more significantly, it's a tack-sharp 3-inch touchscreen OLED. I was instantly caught off guard by the touchscreen capability when I accidentally tapped it and the camera instantaneously focused and fired. My subsequent sonic emanation of joyous surprise nearly sent us into the guardrail. Once the helm was safely recovered, for safety's sake I decided to stop shooting and dig into the nitty gritty.
Another improvement is the software. Where previous PENs were saddled with a deep and circuitous menu system — a spelunker's dream — the 3 has been given a streamlined and considered one.
The final obvious feature that literally jumped out at me was the pop-up flash. When you first look at the camera you may miss it entirely because it's built flush to the top line of the body so it won't disturb the aesthetic. In action, the little strobe is powerful enough for a solid daylight fill and predictably illuminates night-time scenes and portraits.
The color is a touch punchy straight out of the box, a default most general users would seem to happy to have.
Once out on the cactus trail, I spun the exposure mode dial to Art and played around. Olympus has expanded the Art Filters — there are now 10 — and added a few sub-features like vignetting, fuzzy frames and starlight effects.
If you're both ambitious and have trouble deciding which filter you like, just tell the camera you want it to apply all the filters at once and it will make 10 editions of each frame so you can see all effects at once. This feature slows the processing speed, but take your time, it's pretty fun.
Upon returning to the cooler confines of the studio, images were scrutinized. Overall, the PEN 3's results are fairly predictable and mostly pleasing. The color is a touch punchy straight out of the box, a default most general users would seem to happy to have. White balance is consistent and, given the fact this PEN has a carryover 12-megapixel Live MOS sensor, the noise reduction and higher ISO tightness is still just above average like its immediate predecessor. The PEN 4 will almost surely get a new image sensor to address these issues.
The PEN 3's standard kit glass is a 14-42mm f3.5-5.6. It's a very serviceable lens, but the Olympus primes are the real ticket if you're interested in sharp shooting. The manufacturer provided the 12mm f2 lens (which you can see in my pictures above) and that's actually what I shot with most of the time.
Solid and bright, it toggles between AF and manual focus with a snap of the focusing ring. Just pull it back toward the body and you're into manual, snap it forward and the camera transitions back to autofocus. No menu digging required. Olympus also introduced a 45mm f1.8 portrait lens, a compact flash that swivels for bounce or close-ups and can be used wirelessly to add shape to your images.
I can't test everything this camera has to offer in just a week, so stay tuned, we may revisit the PEN 3 with a deeper dive. But the bottom line on the PEN 3 is it's a real shooter's camera, not just a designer's desktop paperweight. It's an easy-to-use, fast focuser and shooter that's got a steamer trunk full of fun, functional features, lenses and accessories.

Reflections on these present times, concluding part.
I closed yesterday with, So maybe there's a blindness with humans, and then set out the characteristics of that blindness. One of those characteristics being,
Our obsession with how things are now prevents us from reflecting on those signs that indicate changes are under way, even when the likely conclusions are unmistakeable. The ecological and climatic changes being the most obvious example of this strange blindness that mankind possesses.
Let's move this on a little. The arguments from a wide range of scientists are overwhelmingly in favour of the proposition that mankind is using vastly more resources from the planet than the planet can provide. Take oil. This graph show past and projected oil production for the whole Earth out to 2050, less than 40 years away.
Here's an extract from that website which I encourage you to read in full,
The part before 2007 is historical fact. The part that comes afterward is an ASPO extrapolation.
This graph is worth careful attention as a lot of world history is written into it. Note the steep rise in oil production after World War II. Note that 1971 was the peak in oil production in the United States lower 48. There is a sliver of white labled Arctic oil. That is mostly Alaskan Prudhoe Bay oil, which peaked in 1990. Prudhoe Bay was almost big enough to counteract the lower 48 peak of 1971. The sliver is very narrow now. The OPEC oil embargo of 1973 is very visible. The oil produced by non-OPEC countries stayed nearly constant while OPEC production nearly halved. The embargo caused the world economy to slow. But the high cost of energy spurred the development of energy efficient automobiles and refrigerators and a lot of other things. Note the effect of the collapse of the Russian economy in 1990 on Russian oil production. Note the rapid increase in oil production when the world economy boomed near the end of the twentieth century. Oil was $12 a barrel at that time. Note that European (North Sea) oil peaked in 2000. Note especially what would have happened if the 1973 embargo had not occurred. It is possible that the world would now be on the steep part of the right side of the Hubbert curve.
Take population growth. Here's a graph that shows that going through seven billion, which is due shortly, is likely to be way short of the eventual peak. Likely peak might be in the range of eight to ten billion! Just take a look at that graph,
Take global warming. Here's a graph from NASA, from which I quote,
The five warmest years since the late 1880s, according to NASA scientists, are in descending order 2005, 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2006. (reported in the year 2007!)
No apologies for bashing you around the head with these graphs and figures – most people have a good sense about these aspects of our life on this planet. But, in a very real sense, that's the point.
The point that despite powerful and obvious evidence, mankind has great difficulty accepting obvious trends and understanding that whatever 'today' feels like, 'tomorrow' is almost certainly not going to be more of the same.
At the risk of hammering this point to death, here are two pictures and some text to show how quickly 'today' changes and becomes 'tomorrow'.
Scientist left speechless as vast glacier turns to water
by Helen Turner, Western Mail
THESE images show the astonishing rate of break-up of an enormous glacier in north Greenland – from ice to water in just two years.
The before and after photographs, which left a Welsh scientist who led the 24-month project "speechless", reveal the worrying effects of climate change in an area previously thought too cold to be much affected.
Dr Alun Hubbard, a reader at Aberystwyth University's Centre for Glaciology, returned from the Petermann Glacier in north-west Greenland a month ago, but did not see the stark images documenting the changes until this week.
He said: "Although I knew what to expect in terms of ice loss from satellite imagery, I was still completely unprepared for the gob-smacking scale of the break-up, which rendered me speechless. It was just incredible to see. This glacier is huge, 20km across, 1,000m high."
"It's like looking into the Grand Canyon full of ice and coming back two years later to find it's full of water."
"It's quite hard to get your head around the scale of the change. To be able to see that, everything changed in such a short period of time, I was speechless."
Do read the full article on the Wales Online website here.
Stay with me a little longer, if you will.
Yves Smith in her wonderfully broad and addictive Blog, Naked Capitalism, had the first part of a powerful interview with Satyajit Das published on the 7th. Here are a couple of extracts,
It's amazing how much money you can make just shuffling paper backwards and forwards. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a piece praising John Paulson who made a killing from the subprime disaster as an entrepreneur. But what did he make? What did he leave behind? Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, argued: "I wish someone would give me one shred of neutral evidence that financial innovation has led to economic growth — one shred of evidence. US financial services increased its share of value added from 2% to 6.5% but is that a reflection of your financial innovation, or just a reflection of what you're paid?"
Just let that quote from Paul Volcker stay with you for a while. Satyajit goes on to say,
Management and directors of financial institutions cannot really understand what is going on – it's simply not practical. They cannot be across all the products. For example, Robert Rubin, the former head of Goldman Sachs and Treasury Secretary under President Clinton, encouraged increased risk taking at CitiGroup. He was guided by a consultant's report and famously stated that risk was the only underpriced asset. He encouraged investment in AAA securities assuming that they were 'money good'. He seemed not to be aware of the liquidity puts that Citi had written which meant that toxic off-balance sheet assets would come back to the mother ship in the case of a crisis. Now, if he didn't understand, others would find it near impossible. And I'm talking about executive management.
Non executives are even further removed. Upon joining the Salomon Brothers Board, Henry Kaufman, the original Dr. Doom found that most non-executive directors had little experience or understanding of banking. They relied on board reports that were, "neither comprehensive … nor detailed enough … about the diversity and complexity of our operations." Non-executive directors were reliant "on the veracity and competency of senior managers, who in turn … are beholden to the veracity of middle managers, who are themselves motivated to take risks through a variety of profit compensation formulas."
Kaufman later joined the board of Lehman Brothers. Nine out of ten members of the Lehman board were retired, four were 75 years or more in age, only two had banking experience, but in a different era. The octogenarian Kaufman sat on the Lehman Risk Committee with a Broadway producer, a former Navy admiral, a former CEO of a Spanish-language TV station and the former chairman of IBM. The Committee only had two meetings in 2006 and 2007. AIG's board included several heavyweight diplomats and admirals; even though Richard Breeden, former head of the SEC told a reporter, "AIG, as far as I know, didn't own any aircraft carriers and didn't have a seat in the United Nations."
In other words, there is no shortage of information from all corners of the world to show, with very little doubt, that the last few decades have seen unprecedented mistakes by national governments, mistakes in corporate governance, a lack of understanding of economic fundamentals, poor financial and social management, and on and on and on.
But practically all of us, and I mean all of us, didn't see it at the time, didn't see where it was heading and only now, when it is full in our faces, do we get it and see it for what it has really been, a long period of over two decades where the 'me' has been more important than the 'us'.
That me versus us even being promoted, if that's the right word, by a British Prime Minister twenty-five years ago. That quote from Margaret Thatcher back in 1987, "And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families." (Margaret Thatcher, talking to Women's Own magazine, October 31 1987)
Let me draw this all together, yesterday's part and this concluding part.
There is significant evidence, real hard evidence, that the patterns of mankind's behaviours of the last few decades cannot continue. Simply because mankind will go over the edge of self-extinction. Darwin's evidence and all that! We have to accept that humans will see the bleedin' obvious before it is too late. We have to keep the faith that our species homo sapiens is capable of huge and rapid change when that tipping point is reached, so eloquently written by Paul Gilding in his book, The Great Disruption, reviewed by me here. We have to embrace the fact that just because the world and his wife appears to be living in total denial, the seedlings of change, powerful change, are already sprouting, everywhere, all over the world.
So let's welcome those changes. Let's nurture those seedlings, encourage them to grow and engulf our society with a new richness, a new fertile landscape.
Let's embrace the power of now, the beauty of making today much better and letting go of tomorrow.
For today, I am in charge of my life,
Today, I choose my thoughts,
Today, I choose my attitudes,
Today, I choose my actions and behaviours.
With these, I create my life and my destiny.
It's very difficult to make predictions, especially when they involve the future!

One of the most heated contests in this November's election is between two prominent Californians who aren't running for anything. Governor Jerry Brown and civil rights lawyer Molly Munger have been out stumping for competing tax proposals, both aimed at giving a financial leg up to California's struggling schools.
Brown's Proposition 30 asks wealthier taxpayers to pay 1 to 3 percent more in income tax for the next seven years and imposes a modest quarter-percent increase in sales tax for the next four years. Munger's Prop 38 also increases income taxes, but on a sliding scale across all income levels and for the next 12 years.
Prop 38 funds will be allocated to K-12 schools and early childhood programs, with a portion going to pay down state debt. Anticipated revenues for both plans range from $6 billion annually (Prop 30) to $10 billion+ (Prop 38). Both campaigns have been on the offensive, with Prop 38 ads implying that Prop 30 money will end up in the hands of Sacramento politicians, and Prop 30 backers saying their opponents stand to sink both ships unnecessarily.
Brown has been going after the youth vote, warning students that if his proposition fails it will spell disaster for California's public colleges. All of this sniping and number-play has left many voters confused, so much so that many may decide to vote against both.
Weigh In:
Are these competing measures locked in a battle to the death? Will negative campaigning on either side hurt the chances for both? How will voters cut through the rhetoric and choose between them? Which plan puts more money in the classroom? What will it mean to California's students if both measures fail at the ballot box?
Molly Munger, author and chief backer of Proposition 38, civil rights attorney and co-director, Advancement Project (Yes on 38)
John Mockler, spokesperson for Yes on 30 campaign, former Executive Director of the State Board of Education and Secretary for Education for the State of California. Mockler was the chief architect of Proposition 98, California's school finance law. (Yes on 30)

pentagram in the street layout north of the White House? Does a Masonic
square and compass extend from the Capitol building to the Washington
Monument? And why is the city filled with zodiac symbols, mysterious faces,
and various god and goddess images? If America was founded as a Christian
nation only, where are the images of Jesus Christ? Or does Washington, D.C.
symbolize another Christ, the Masonic Christ? Find out, in this bold and
sure-to-be controversial documentary.

- Description
The new FG range from Yamaha manage to deliver premium acoustic guitar feel with a very low price tag. The Yamaha FG820L Left Handed Acoustic Guitar is testimony to this and contains spruce and mahogany tonewoods, a nato neck, die-cast tuners and more making this a consistent, quality guitar.
Excellent tonewoods
Yamaha know their tonewoods well and have chosen chose solid spruce for the top of the FG820L. This produces plenty of precise top end clarity and great projection. This works in harmony with the Mahogany back and sides that produces a super, warm tone with plenty of backbone.
To further enhance the sound without increase in cost, Yamaha have put in place a new scalloped bracing system that is tuned to increase response across the low end and richer harmonic overtones in the mid range. The end result is a beautiful tone that you would expect to hear on a much more expensive model.
Superior comfort
The neck of the FG820L Acoustic Guitar is also crafted from Nato and shaped to a comfortable, rounded profile that will feel natural in the hand, even for new players. The neck is adorned with a rosewood fingerboard containing 20 frets and subtle dot inlays to help you work your way around the fretboard with ease. The neck is finished with a matt effect so that you can smoothly glide up and down the neck not worrying about any stickiness or residue that can occur on longer performances.
Other features
Other features of the Yamaha FG820L Acoustic Guitar include die-cast chrome machine heads for accurate and stable tuning, a tortoise-shell finish pickguard and body binding to really give the FG820L a crisp and distinguished edge.
For accomplished guitarists or for newer players that want a reliable, high-quality left-handed guitar without the high price tag, the Yamaha FG820L Acoustic Guitar is an all-round outstanding acoustic instrument.

Our new car "free" subscription will end in February. I am at the point where I need to make a decision. I had originally planned to purchase the Lifetime subscription as it would most defiitely be the best plan for us long term.
However, now with things looking so gloomy for Sirius, I am having second thoughts. Will Sirius go under?? ....... who knows!
I really don't want to pull out several hundred dollars for something that may or may not be around in the coming months. If I knew all accounts would be safe regardless, it would be a no-brainer, but no one knows that!
Anyone else about to make a renewal? What are your thoughts?

Many people choose to believe in evolution because they have been told that "all" the smart people believe in Darwinian evolution. They have been led to believe that the educated, elite scientists and specialists in their fields unflinchingly and unanimously subscribe to Darwinian evolution. It is no accident that many are led to this belief. Statements made by Darwinian evolutionists often suggest that evolution is believed by the intelligent masses. Notice this brief list of such statements:
A list of this type could go on for hundreds of pages, documenting all the various and copious ways the public is pressured to believe that modern science, at least that done by competent, educated, serious scientists entitled to a judgment, unequivocally accepts Darwinian evolution.
The truth of the matter is, however, not all intelligent, educated, serious scientists accept Darwinian evolution as true. In fact, thousands of extremely well-educated men and women all over the world are willing to stand up and be counted as those who do not believe in Darwinian evolution. Jerry Bergman has amassed a list of more than 3,000 individuals, most of whom have Ph.D.s in science (2006). Bergman stated: "I estimate that, given the time and resources, I could easily complete a list of 10,000 names" (2006). He also noted: "On my list I have well over 3,000 names including Nobel Prize winners but, unfortunately, a large number of persons that could be added to the public list, including many college professors, did not want their name listed because of real concerns over possible retaliation or harm to their careers" (2006).
Although majority opinion never determines the truth, it must be recognized that the bandwagon appeal has been an effective, persuasive maneuver used by Darwinian evolutionists to sway many to join their ranks. The grandiose statements about scientific unanimity concerning evolution, however, are founded on little more than wishful thinking by the evolutionary community. The truth is, multiplied thousands of highly educated men and women can see the faults and flaws in Darwinian evolution. It does not take a rocket scientist to see the flaws in evolution, but many rocket scientists can see them—as well as biologists, geologists, chemists, et al.

1. Malzahn On Film Fiasco
1. Malzahn On Film Fiasco
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn didn't waste any time responding to the game film controversy Tuesday, issuing a statement to begin his weekly press conference.
"We'll always operate with the utmost integrity in everything we do," Malzahn told reporters in Alabama. "If there's ever anything I don't know about that's brought to my attention, we'll deal with it in a prompt manner. The SEC office is aware of all the details on both sides."
Malzahn's response came a day after Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said he informed the Southeastern Conference about a discrepancy between the television broadcast and Auburn's video footage of its win against Florida Atlantic. Specifically, Bielema said a "swinging gate" formation the Tigers used as part of their extra point and two-point conversion package was not on the film sent to Arkansas this week.
Malzahn said he was notified about the matter Monday, but would not answer any questions about the video sent to Arkansas. Bielema revealed the discrepancy during his press conference and answered a few follow-up questions, although he may have violated an SEC bylaw in discussing the issue publicly.
"There are just some clips that haven't - shall we say - the TV copy doesn't match the film copy," Bielema said Monday. "And it's something we have kind of been aware of now for the last week and a half in getting our preparation. So we can use other film and stuff like that to make sure we are getting the full picture."
The video controversy has added another interesting chapter between the two coaches that dates back to SEC Media Days in July.
Most of the banter has been in relation to their philosophical differences.
Malzahn said when he first heard the argument that no-huddle, hurry-up offenses created player safety issues he thought it was a "joke." Bielema fired back when informed of Malzahn's comments later by saying he wasn't being a "comedian."
But Malzahn said Tuesday he wasn't singling anyone out.
"As a matter of fact, at the time, there were a lot of people that were coming out and saying stuff regarding that, and I was just standing up for our philosophy and what we believe in on that," Malzahn said Tuesday.
Malzahn's offense has been key to Auburn's surprising start. The Tigers (7-1, 3-1 in the SEC) are ranked 11th in the Bowl Championship Series standings and come to Arkansas with a four-game win streak.
The Razorbacks (3-5, 0-4 in SEC) haven't enjoyed the same success in their first season under Bielema. Arkansas has lost five straight for the first time since 1997.
Despite their differences, Malzahn offered plenty of praise for Bielema on Tuesday.
"As far as he is concerned, he is an excellent coach," Malzahn said. "Look at his track record. I've got a lot of respect for him. He's won everywhere he's been, and I know they are going to be prepared. He's also got a very strong staff with him."
2. Feeling Good
Arkansas offensive tackle Grady Ollison has struggled with nagging injuries the past several weeks. But the sophomore – who lost his starting job to Brey Cook before the Florida game – said he's finally feeling better after the off week.
"The past few weeks it seems like it has been one thing or another, whether it's my ankle or my elbow was messed up or my back has been bothering me," Ollison said. "But this is the first time since Week Four or Five that I've felt completely healthy."
Ollison is still working in a reserve role, but offensive coordinator Jim Chaney said he's "putting the heat back on" Cook. Ollison started the first five games at right tackle. Cook has started three straight at the position.
"That's good to see because it makes Brey a better player, it makes us collectively a better offense," Chaney said about the competition at the position. "I'm pleased with that. Grady's bouncing back and trying to compete right now."
3. On the Run
One of Chaney's goals for quarterbacks is to collect two first downs with their feet each game. Arkansas starter Brandon Allen accomplished it at Alabama.
It was the first time in several weeks Allen had been turned loose because of the shoulder injury he suffered against Southern Miss on Sept. 14.
"You didn't want to try to design anything where he had to take off and run," Chaney said. "Nobody would do that when the quarterback has a little bit of a bum shoulder. So we didn't want to do that. But at Alabama he took off and made two first downs with his feet and he's a good enough athlete to be able to do that against anybody.
"We're excited about him doing that again this week if the opportunity raises itself."
4. Malzahn's Influence
Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen wasn't in high school when Malzahn was in the middle of his successful run at Springdale High. But the former Fayetteville High quarterback said Malzahn's influence on football in the state with his hurry-up, no-huddle offense was evident.
"He definitely opened the door to a lot of the style of offense that he runs," Allen said. "It's been pretty successful in a lot of different places and he does a pretty good job with it. I've kind of seen that offense a few different times in my career."

I can't believe how well my iPhone works. I took this photo after my first snowshoe run this morning. My Cannon is worthless when the temperature is 20F or less. The battery drains. The iPhone: I carried it with me for three hours. I began running at -21F and finished at -6F. I was able to take the photo. It's a good photo! Better than my Cannon. Amazing.
After taking the photo I emailed it to myself and Mom and Dad. Amazing again I say. Amazing.
No, it didn't snow today. I am just Frosty.
Guess what else my iPhone did today? On snowshoe run number two, this afternoon, it identified bird calls for me while at Lake Maria State Park. Yes! I kid you not.
On the way home from they gym today I heard a song on 93X that I didn't know all of the words too. I clicked on radio click, touched 93X, view lyrics and bammo. Lyrics to the song. I was singing, reading and driving at the same time. I guess this could be dangerous...
I heart my iPhone.

But possibly even more important to hockey's storied history, and especially in light of this past season's lock-out, may be the fact that Ted Lindsay initiated the first National Hockey League Players' Association. "Mr. Campbell (NHL president) always talked about how we had the greatest pension in the world," starts Ted. "He always told us what a great pension we had and told us we were not to fraternize with members of the opposite teams."
"For example," explains Lindsay, "If we were in Toronto, I might be walking down to (Maple Leaf) Gardens. If a Toronto player came out of the building and if he saw me or I saw him, one of us would cross the street so we didn't have to acknowledge each other. That's the right way to play hockey. That was our attitude."
Agents didn't exist in the 1940's and '50's, so all negotiations were between the player and the general manager. "It was a dictatorship during the six-team league," Ted states. "They (the owners) would say, 'Jump,' and you'd say, 'How high and how many times?' All any player in that six-team league wanted to do was play hockey. That was our livelihood. They gave us our contracts. They said, 'Take it, that's all you're going to get.'"
"I talked to Bob Feller, who was head of the American League Baseball Players' Association. They had a great association. I'm not Einstein by any means, but I'm also not stupid. I wanted to show the owners that we wanted to negotiate something but we weren't demanding to run the league. We just wanted to have a voice. After talking with Bob (Feller), he put me in touch with lawyers in New York. If the laws we have today would have been in place back then, all the owners and managers would have been in jail. It was like slavery back then. To form a players' association when you didn't speak to each other, that becomes very difficult. Ninety-nine percent of the players were Canadians and once the season was over, we spread out across Canada and you wouldn't see your teammates until the next September in training camp. I wanted to be able to get a voice so we could sit down."
Lindsay was respected but disliked as a competitor throughout the league. For 'Terrible Ted' to pull together enough competitors to form a players' association was going to be extremely difficult. "The All-Star Game was always played before the season started. The Stanley Cup winner played against the All-Stars. That year (1955) the All-Star Game was going to be in Detroit because we won the Stanley Cup. Doug Harvey (of the Montreal Canadiens) was one of the more intelligent guys in the National Hockey League. Doug was a strong force. I got to Doug and told him what I had in mind and with the top players all coming into Detroit, we wanted to be able to sit down quietly -- this was not to be publicized; nobody was to know we were doing this. We did it and it worked out. You had to put $100 in because we had to pay the lawyers. To get $100 out of the players back in those days was tough. We were only making $5,500 to $7,500 (per year)."
"All the guys went back to their rinks and I went back to Detroit the next day. I knew darn well when I got to the Olympia (the home arena of the Red Wings at that time) there was going to be a war in there. Sure enough, (Jack) Adams was steaming around in the dressing room. It looked like somebody painted him with a red paint brush because his blood pressure was so up so much. He started to condemn it all."
"Pressure was put on to break us for forming this association," Lindsay explains. "The threats got greater. Finally, I got traded to Chicago and so was Jimmy Thomson from Toronto. Then, as more pressure was added, the guys started to realize that we had to have a union. We were an international sport so we had to certify in Canada and we had to certify in the United States."
"We picked Toronto as the place to certify in Canada. We picked Detroit in the U.S.," adds Ted. When a couple of the Red Wing players broke rank and decided not to continue supporting a National Hockey League Players' Association, the dissension formed a crack and proved to be the ultimate demise of Ted Lindsay's best laid plans. "I was in Chicago at the time. If I had known that Detroit was going to turn out like that, I would have done it in Chicago. The situation in Detroit was what hung us."
Lindsay was martyred for his intentions. In spite of enjoying his best personal season and finishing second in scoring to Gordie Howe, Lindsay was exiled to Chicago, who had finished last for the fourth straight season. Although the Players' Association did not fly at that point, by 1967, it took hold and stuck, forming a unified collection of players that has served its membership well through the past thirty-eight years. Today's National Hockey League Players' Association was built upon a foundation first laid by Ted Lindsay.
The Stanley Cup was taken to the beautiful cottage belonging to Lindsay's daughter Lynn and her husband Lou in Cheboygan, a community of 5,000 on Mullet Lake in Northern Michigan. The original community was built on an aboriginal settlement belonging to the Chippewa tribe. In the native tongue, the tribe referred to themselves as 'cehboys' and called water 'gan.' The terms were bastardized and the area became referred to as 'cheboys-gan' river of the Chippewas.
Ted's immediate family was there to help him celebrate wife Joanne, his children and grandchildren. At dinner-time, the Stanley Cup was taken down to the dock so that boaters passing by the cottage property would get the chance to see it. The Cheboygan River never had a traffic jam until that day boats of every size and description made their way to the area to capture a glimpse of hockey's highest honour.
By 9:30 on the morning of Saturday, July 30, Ted and the Stanley Cup were meeting fans at the Cheboygan Ice Arena. For $5, residents could get their picture taken with the Stanley Cup. For an extra $5, Ted would either get in the photo too or sign an autograph. All money raised went to support women's hockey in the area.
Ted's immense popularity forced the signing to continue half an hour past its scheduled conclusion, but by 12:30, the Stanley Cup was accompanying Ted back to his daughter's cottage. By 3:00 that afternoon, eighty people had congregated to celebrate Lindsay's milestone birthday. A catered meal of steak was prepared and an incredible customized birthday cake sat ready for slicing.
The grandchildren hovered over the Stanley Cup, discovering some of the greats like their granddad who had earned the right to have their name engraved on the Stanley Cup. "Hey Grandpa, your name is spelled wrong on the Cup," said one of the kids, astounded. "Let's see that," said a curious Lindsay, who looked at the 1949-50 Stanley Cup champions and noted his name spelled 'Ted Lindsey.' "Well I'll be darned!" The family checked each year that Ted had won the Cup 1949-50, 1951-52, 1953-54 and 1954-55. The rest were all spelled correctly.
"I was captain for those last two Stanley Cups," Ted stated. "Sid Abel was captain for my first two." The line of Abel, Lindsay and Gordie Howe was tagged the 'Production Line' and was one of the highest-scoring lines of that era. In 1949-50, Ted's first year winning the Stanley Cup, the trio finished first, second and third in NHL scoring. "Winning the scoring championship was a team thing. In this case, it was a line thing. The Production Line of Sid (Abel) at centre ice and Gordie (Howe) on the right side and myself at left wing -- we were one, two, three in scoring. You're playing with the best hockey players in the world; you're playing against the best hockey players in the world. That was a great thrill."
Ted Lindsay celebrated his eightieth birthday with the Stanley Cup this summer, but it was the fiery winger who gave hockey one of its greatest gifts. By staring into the eyes of the owners and defying their power, Ted Lindsay helped break the stranglehold management had on players through the Original 6 era, and it could only take someone with tremendous talent, guts and determination to make it happen someone like Ted Lindsay.
On Friday, the Stanley Cup Journal will travel to Thunder Bay, Ontario where three of Ted Lindsay's former teammates each enjoyed a day with the most treasured trophy in sports the Stanley Cup.

Daugavpils Lead Shot Factory
The factory is the oldest ammunition plant in the Northern Europe, the only factory of such kind in the Baltic States and one of the oldest objects of industrial history in Latvia.
The factory has the only lead casting tower in Europe that still works.
Through centuries, i.e., during the tsarist Russia, the first Free State of Latvia, the Soviet Union and the independence period of Latvia, the factory has always produced high quality lead shots for hunting and it is still involved in this activity. The factory has equipment and structures built in the 19th century and supplemented before and after both World Wars, and they are well harmonized with the modern equipment of manufacturing the ammunition.
The factory offers seeing the historic exhibition and lead shot casting workshop and climbing its unique 37 m high tower with 19 m deep cooling well under it. You may see the famous Church Hill (Baznīcu kalns)of Daugavpils, the city centre and the distant fortress walls from the factory tower. The ammunition factory is the destination of many local and foreign tourists willing to experience the unique ambience of the 19th century and learn about the operation of the ancient equipment today. After visiting the factory everyone is invited to test the ready production at the factory's shooting-gallery. Visit to the factory may be combined with seeing Daugavpils Fortressand other military objects, thus gaining an extensive insight into many aspects of Latvian military history.

Norwegian Short-Tailed Yak Bear
The Norwegian Short-Tailed Yak Bear (Bosursus Grizlii), not to be confused with the polar bear or the Seventeen spotted eastern-most blue-nailed field wallaby, is an animal best described as the result of a one night stand between an elephant and an owl with antlers, or a large fluffy rabbit that isn't. It is the northern hemisphere equivalent of the impala antelope of Africa.
The Norwegian short-tailed yak bear is a very unusual animal, vaguely resembling a yak but more closely something that isn't that at all. Males, called stags, may grow over four feet tall and up to two hundred pounds, while females, usually known as nullers or bunties (prounounced boon-tees), rarely grow half as large. Both genders have the same dense, oily coat of white fur and a small, somewhat undeveloped but nevertheless functional trunk, reminiscent of an elephant's, but only stags have tusks. By the time a stag is fourteen or fifteen years old, his randomly forking tusks may weigh over 100 pounds and are often twisted and entwined around most of his body, sometimes preventing feeding and often preventing him from laying down, or in some cases walking or breathing. These tusks have little purpose, as females seem quite indifferent to them and they are far too large to be used in fighting, but they are somewhat useful for defense against predators, mainly other yak bears, which will never miss the opportunity to eat another yak bear's ankles.
The short-tailed yak bear also has abnormally large eyes, sometimes up to a foot in diameter. This seemingly unnecessary adaptation is likely a remnant from before the yak bear evolved from it's nocturnal squid ancestors. Lacking eyelids, the yak bear uses it's millions of microscopic eyebrow tongues to lick each eye clean up to a billion times per minute.
Behaviour and habits[edit]
Living on the barren tundra and taiga regions of the north, every day is a struggle to survive for the yak bear. During winter, deep snow may prevent the bear from reaching the pebbles and sand beneath. If this happens, the yak bear will take to hunting large mammals, mainly caribou. It may eat nothing but caribou for seven months of the year. However, as soon as the weather warms, the yak bear returns to it's preferred diet.
Yak bears do not do anything of interest when not feeding. Usually, they sit comatose in the snow or grass and stare off into space. Sometimes, they'll briefly stand up, turn around, and lay back down, comatose again. Sometimes one explodes or bursts into beautiful bird-like song for a few hours, but this is rare.
By the time it reaches the age of twenty, the yak bear usually dies. Sometimes, if it is momentarily distracted by something like a foot or grape soda, it will forget this and live for another twenty years.
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The Norwegian short-tailed yak bear lives mainly in Norwegia, hence its namesake. It is also found throughout Sweden, Iceland, and Russia. During the fall, it migrates to its breeding grounds in Canada and Alaska, with occasional sightings of lost yak bears in Tokyo asking for directions. Its main habitat is the tundra and taiga forests within its natural range.
As invasive species[edit]
While yak bears are native to most of the northern hemisphere, they have been introduced to several parts of the world. During the late 1990's, hunters have smuggled yak bear cubs from their dens and replaced them with kittens so that their parents wouldn't realize they were missing. The yak bear cubs were put into farms, where they were bred for their fur coats, which surprisingly make good sweater vests. In late 2001, it was made illegal to persecute any yak bear. The yak bear farms were shut down and the animals were released into the wild.
The animals are now considered an invasive species in Utah, Alabama, Australia, Zimbabwe, and Antarctica. They have caused much damage to the ecosystems through foreign diseases, mainly explode-when-exposed-to-sunlight-syndrome, and their explosive defecation. They also eat the foods that the native animals depend on. Conservationists believe that the yak bears are better suited to these areas, as none of them (except Antarctica) contain the cold temperatures and snow which makes it hard for them to survive in their natural range.
Native to most of the northern hemisphere and introduced elsewhere, the short-tailed yak bear is one of the most abundant small mammals on Earth, with an estimated population of three hundred with a margin of error of three hundred. Its success as a species no doubt results from its ability to thrive on an arguably poor diet of nothing but gravel, damp sand, shards of glass, and small pebbles. Of course, when available it will gorge itself on other foods, especially straw, cardboard and sticks. However, due to intense competition from other, more aggressive arctic carnivores, mainly seagulls and ptarmigan, the short-tailed yak bear rarely, if ever, gets to eat such high quality fare. Due to the somewhat coarse texture of its diet, a yak bear typically wears down all of its teeth by its second year, forcing it to swallow the pebbles and sand whole, which often causes indigestion and sometimes explosive diarrhea.
Despite that they are a protected species, yak bears are under threat of extinction throughout their range. This is mainly because hunters kill them to make sweater vests out of their fur coats. Their ribs are also used as rakes and expensive restaurant items. They also face threat from severe flooding, as they can't swim. Though it isn't as frequent as hunting. Other factors include the yak bear's low reproductive rate, poor quality of life, and explosiveness.
Steps are currently being taken to protect the yak bear from extinction. Scientists are putting hidden lasers into the yak bear's habitat to neutralize any hunters in the vicinity. The lasers are fitted with sensors to prevent them from shooting at other people or yak bears. There are also plans to give yak bear the intelligence about sex so that their population will increase.
However, some conservationists believe that the yak bears can save themselves from extinction. As global warming continues to warm the northern hemisphere, the snow and ice will soon be minimal. Thus the animals can then survive better.

The construction of a swimming pool can be a very challenging assignment. Swimming pools are generally constructed in the backyard or the garden of a house. This is because there is generous space available in the backyard of a house and this space can effectively be used for constructing a beautiful swimming pool.Homeowners with customized swimming pools in their homes need not worry about visiting the public pools that tend to be extremely unhygienic and expensive. In the present times, there are a number of construction services companies offering impeccable constructing services at reasonable rates.?
They have the experience and the expertise needed for constructing a swimming pool. However, it is always very important for homeowners to look out for the best companies adept at creating a relaxation pool within affordable rates. Some important tips that need to be followed when making the choice of a construction company are as follows:
Make the Choice of a Reputable Company
It is very important to make the choice of a reputable company possessing significant experience in the field of constructing swimming pools. You can look out for several online stores showcasing their services. It is necessary for you to look out for customer reviews on the websites of these online stores prior to making your choice.
Pool Appearance
One of the most important factors that you need to consider is the pool appearance. There are some who like including rocks and plants at the sides of their pools while others just prefer having a huge elegant pool.
When making the choice of swimming pool constructors, it is necessary for you to always go for the services of registered constructors.

How To Turn A Legitimate Buyer Into A Pirate In Five Easy Steps
from the ip-in-the-oatmeal dept
As we've mentioned before, it's interesting to watch copyright issues break into the mainstream and get attention from bigger and bigger sources. This time, Matthew Inman used his famous (and widely read) webcomic The Oatmeal to recount the moral quandary he was placed in when trying to watch Game of Thrones. It's hard to get the full effect without the whole comic, so you should really go read it—but here's a preview:
Of course, plenty of people have been saying this for years: the biggest driver of piracy is a lack of legitimate offerings. Unfortunately, the legacy players think (or at least claim) that they are being innovative with their offerings, even as their customers tell them otherwise. Hopefully, as people like Inman continue putting all-too-common stories like this into the spotlight, they will begin to get the message.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Where is the "Happiest Place on Earth?" Not in Disney's legal offices.
A new independent film, called "Escape From Tomorrow", that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival last weekend features scenes inside Disney's parks that critique the park's corporate image and were filmed without permission on several Disney rides.
The movie tells the story of a father who spends the day at the park with his two children, until he learns that he is fired from his job and begins to go insane inside the park.
The filmmaker, Randy Moore, shot the black-and-white film inside Walt Disney World and Disneyland, using footage from eight rides. He calls the film a "post-modern fairytale." It includes images of evil animatronic figures, a scene involving a Taser and even a bloody death.
"I intended to make this film with a few close friends, a very small budget and this is what happened," Moore said.
Disney hasn't issued a statement yet, but they're not the only theme park facing this issue. SeaWorld Orlando is under pressure from another film that debuted at Sundance called Blackfish, about the deaths of SeaWorld trainers, including Dawn Brancheau in 2010.
The director, Gabriela Cowperthwaite, says she made the film to highlight SeaWorld's mistreatment of killer whales.
"The incident of the trainer being killed by the killer whale shocked me, it took me by surprise," Cowperthwaite said. "I had a question and I wanted it answered: Why did a top SeaWorld trainer come to be killed in a marine park after 16 years of experience?"

Moshi Monsters Cheats :
Code - Moshlings: Yolka and how to get him.
by Unregistered Jun 26, 2013
There's a new Moshling in town! Yolka, the "Boiled Boffin" has appeared in the Moshling Zoo along site Fizzy and Suey in the Munchies set.
How to get Yolka Moshling:
In order to attract Yolka to your Moshling Garden you'll need to plant the following seed combination:
As Yolka is a common Moshling, you don't need to worry about the colour of the plants. Just plant the correct seeds and he'll appear in your garden.
All the seeds are available from the Seed Cart, so this is another Moshling that even Non-Members can attract.
The design for Yolka by whymymollie2000 was a runner up in the 2012 design a Moshling competition. The results were announced on April 9th 2012.
You can see the original design here:
See the original winners announcement on the Daily Growl for more info.
We've still not seen the winning Moshling "Micro Dave" from the 2012 design a Moshling competition appear in the game yet although he has appeared on Moshlings.com.
(Personally, I'm still looking forward to seeing King Toot!)
Thanks and that's all. Add me on Moshi Monsters: fizzyfuri888 bye!

Credit Card Protection from Yourself
This is a genius idea. I own a gas station in Florida, and most of my customers pay with credit cards these days. The Debt Guard sleeve is great because it makes customers stop and think for a second before they buy. It's a good way to protect their money.
I am really interested in protecting my customers. I've been using Paymesecure because I know their information stays safe and secure. It's really easy to use, and its changed the way I do business in many ways. My business is more efficient now, and I can easily get an online record of all my credit card transactions.
I use the service for all my transactions because it protects me against excessive chargebacks, duplicate transactions and prevents high rate of returns. My transactions are monitored every day, so it helps me avoid debt and use my credit card safely.

I've got a question concering how to pass instances of a class through nodes/queues.
My question deals with arrays. When I push an instance of class on to my queue and then proceed to pop that same object off of my queue and call the function to return this instance of classes array of values, I can index the first value (ie array[0]) and recieve the first value fine. When I try to index any other value (array[1] for instance) I get these funny numbers like -10958358 .
Now I did not instatiate this classes array like this, why does this happen?
If source code is needed, I can post, but it is quite lengthy.

Coaches: Big Ten's big footprint a plus
Bielema had no input on last expansion
Big Ten football coaches said they will have little influence on scheduling and divisional alignments once Maryland and Rutgers join the conference.
Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said Tuesday that when Nebraska joined the conference he wasted a couple of days drawing up his ideal plan but had no input. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said conference leadership has handled past expansion well and believes adding Maryland and Rutgers will pay off.
Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said that with the money the conference believes expansion will generate he'd like to see players in some way get a share.

Luka Balic-Jae Murphy Corporate Identity
At Design Interviews
Interview with Luka Balic : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Luka Balic : I was inspired by light and shadow play that defines the objects in negative space and make "uncommon view of the commonplace" which is client's slogan. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Luka Balic : I wanted to create something different, eye-catchy and unusual to make the client stand up against competition and to represent her slogan the best way. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Luka Balic : While making a research I reviewed hunderds of photographer's identities and none of them use shadows and negative space this way. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Luka Balic : Creating a negative space logo is hard enough. Embedding initials J, M, camera and tripod together while keeping it simple and natural, was the biggest challenge. .
