Made in stupidity by Sony

Published by on oktober 17, 2007

Right now I am looking for buying a flat screen television. The process to find the right one to buy is like fishing. I do like the brand Sony but I do only think they are doing everything wrong. I have being reading the Sony founder Akio Morita book “Made in Japan,” in other words did like the brand. Back to the fishing: I am looking for quality and Sony is a quality brand. Yesterday did I read their advertising and then when I got to the shop it is not the same flat screen as in the ads. Instead it is sort of half the quality. They do this so they will get more costumers to the shop. The demand for flat screens televisions is so hot that anything will sell (they do sell a lot). But for me it is like selling quality with low price and bad quality. They even sometimes put in an ad for an product that is new in the ad and website but when going to the shop it is at least a 2 years old model with an outgoing technology. I do hope this way of killing the Sony brand is local, ore else some have to write the book “made in stupidity by Sony.” It is sad with a brand that does strong advertising and got a good history. For me it means I have to throw back a bad fish and continuing fishing for new brands.

Whats next step for advertising?

Published by on oktober 16, 2007

Voices are loudly demanding for advertising to develop. In the proactive post “Has Advertising Killed Itself?” point out this word-by-word:

They are not in the business of helping businesses make deeper connections with their customers. This had better change, and change fast.

I agree that everything in life has to move forward, so whats the next step for advertising?

Hillary Clinton joins ONE against poverty

Published by on oktober 15, 2007

The power of ONE is strong. Here is an organization that is named ONE and uses the power of ONE to make poverty history.

ONE is Americans of all beliefs and every walk of life – united as ONE – to help make poverty history. We are a campaign of over 2.4 million people and growing from all 50 states and over 100 of America’s most well-known and respected non-profit, advocacy and humanitarian organizations…. The ONE Campaign seeks to raise public awareness about the issues of global poverty, hunger, disease and efforts to fight such problems in developing countries.

Watch Hillary Clinton join the ONE the Campaign. You can also take action for the ONE campaign. Check out the ONE movement with photos on Flickr.
The organization is not in anyway our innovation, but it is an excellent example how the power of ONE can change the world.

Are airplanes errors no accidents?

Published by on oktober 14, 2007

The elephants did turn around, just before the tsunami hit the beaches in Thailand. Scientist thinks they did know about the tsunami before it happen. Elephants did know because of some sort of magnetic warning system animals have.

Wildlife experts believe animals’ more acute hearing and other senses might enable them to hear or feel the Earth’s vibration, tipping them off to approaching disaster long before humans realize what’s going on.

Today in the news there are daily report about airplane that has technical problems ore even accident. They also do have warnings systems, but airplanes are not made to work collective. Could it only be a circumstance that so many airplanes “turn around on the beach”? I don’t thing so! So what could it be a warning sign for? Weather warning? Environment changes? Magnetic warning? A new military weapon? Space? What do you think?
After 9/11 did a lot of people stop flying, today is the airplanes just like the elephants turning around and not flying. How will this affect their business and what is it that is happening to mother earth?

Transparent cloths by Google, Nudie and Al Gore

Published by on oktober 12, 2007

post_photo.jpeg The IT industry is often more open for new ideas than thefashion industry. If not H&M goes green and then Al Gore could work with an IT companies. Lets say that wants to communicate that they are delivering a transparent world. They can with the help of Al Gores and fashion designers produce social responsible and sustainable fashion. The clothes can be total transparent, a lot of people do want to make a statement and by standing naked they will do so. The catwalk with a “naked” Al Gore would buildup global press cover. Consumer can choose what level of nudity they like to have, ore what level of statement they like to make. One of the points with this is the modern tribe tribute to nature. To connect the clothes with Internet gives a lot of opportunities. Why not build in different links in the clothes so it will be connected to Google and the producers of the clothes…
For the Swedish brand Nudie Jeans would transparent clothes mean the “real nudie” deal. They are already taken responsibly with their organic denim. But with Al Gore on the catwalk they will walk there brand around the globe faster.

Nudie is the ”naked truth about denim”. Denim has the ability to age beautifully – formed by its user into a second skin, naked and personal.

For the tattoo culture it would get a global new audience (even in could places, can they show there work in town). For pickpockets it would mean more effective workflow (well, Al is a smart dude and for chore his designers can find a solution for that small problem). For some countries it would mean a culture crash to be naked, but aren’t we al born that way?
Now when nature needs to step back to survive – we al can become role models to – Re born the earth again! A sign that this idea isn’t too creasy is the photographer Spencer Tunick with his fantastic art photos of naked crowds (se above photo).

Intel on geek hunting for next Goolge

Published by on oktober 11, 2007

Intel is humble enough to understand that their 90,000 employees worldwide are nothing compared to billions of talented geeks. So they are now going on “geek hunting.” The goal is to find a new before anybody else.

In an effort to stay on top of the latest software trends and cool new startups, Intel on Monday made public a Digg-like voting site called CoolSW, for ”cool software.” The site will tap the geek public for the most promising new software companies worldwide…. The Hollywood Stock Exchange lets traders forecast the box-office performance of Hollywood films and Oscar nominations as a group. On average, the market picks more than 80 percent of Oscar nominees correctly, and hasn’t missed more than one Oscar winner in the past four years, according to reports.

They are not alone Dell an others do understand the power of ONE is stronger than any organization. Even we work with the collective brain power, that why we thank Manoj for sending this article.

A (Mostly) Agile Java Day at Jazoon

Date 2009/6/26 1:09:17 | Topic: Articles

Methods & Tools is the sponsor of a large number of software development conferences, but I cannot find the time and budget to visit them. This year I managed to find some time after the publication of my summer issue to visit Wednesday the Jazoon, an important Java event located in Zurich. Besides the global morning keynote, the conference has five parallel tracks, so the first thing in the morning is to make your choice between 30 presentations. This is easier for me, because I am not a Java specialist and so I focused on talks with content that could reach outside the Java community.

After James Gosling the previous day, the Wednesday keynote was given by Danny Coward, Chief Architect of Sun’s Client Software, which means Java SE, Java ME and JavaFX. The topic of his talk was the top five points of both JDK 7 and JavaFX 1.2.  For the upcoming JDK 7, the main improvement will be on modularity; multiple languages (Groovy, JRuby) performance support on the virtual machine; some language addition like multiple exception handling; more I/O API; a new garbage collector. For the new version 1.2 of JavaFX released in June, the top five points are: release on new platforms like Linux and some mobile phones; more UI components; layouts; improvement of performance; better ways to use data with RSS/atom feed support and a simple asynchronous framework. He announced that another release of JavaFX is scheduled for the end of the year. The keynote was completed with some nice demonstrations of the JavaFX capabilities.

Refactoring of Large Software Systems

My first choice in the technical session was ” Refactoring of Large Software Systems” by Sibylle Peter and Sven Ehrke of Canoo Engineering . The talk presented the refactoring of the architecture for an investment banking system. After four years, the system architecture had become decayed, the original developers were no longer around and there were only few automated functional tests available. Important evolutions were postponed, as modifications often created bad side effects. However the application was very important for the bank and they wanted to keep using it for some more years. The first activity was to analyze the 1800 Java classes and their dependencies. The strategy was then to restructure the class content to separate clearly the services and the presentation functions using a service oriented architecture. The project, that has already consumed 10 men/years and is still on going, is run on an agile mode. Pair programming was an essential tool to ensure that refactoring practices where consistent across the team. The main customer engineer served as a “product owner”. This was fundamental for the Canoo team, as they needed somebody able to take decisions and knowing also the impact of the existing application on other systems. Another important success factor was doing the refactoring without modifying the functionalities. This allowed running tests comparing the results of the refactored application with the original system. Trust is an essential component of the project, as the users have to let an external team restructure their critical system… without breaking it. However as refactoring progressed, a team of the bank was also able to start evolving the system again. When release dates were different between the two team, a “branch and merge” configuration management solution was adopted. Some other lessons learned during the first phase were to have a large investment in automated testing and continuous integration, have an increased communication between the external refactoring team and the bank developers to synchronize architecture vision and transfer knowledge. It is also important not to underestimate the time needed to learn the system functionalities (where do you functionally test your technical refactoring) and test the final results. After the presentation, I talked with Sibylle and Sven to transform their presentation in an article for Methods & Tools. They agree on the principle, so stay tuned to get a comprehensive written presentation of their experience.

The Power of Value - Domain Driven Design and Value Objects

The next presentation was ” The Power of Value - Domain Driven Design and Value Objects” by Dan Bergh Johnsson of Omegapoint. Although I was initially a little bit afraid that this presentation contains too much code, Dan truly achieved its goal: showing how to refactor code to make it more understandable, even for domain experts without programming knowledge…. and doing it in a lively and funny way, which is important when you get up early to assist to a conference and the caffeine effect starts to diminish. His definition of a value object is “an object with data and behavior that has conceptual value”. His conclusions are that value objects help to decrease complexity (and compound value objects are even better), that entities relieved complexity and value objects add extensibility, testability and evolution. In the second part of the talk, he took the example of a part of code dedicated to charging a credit card and completely refactored it according the principles presented previously.

JavaServer Faces

The last presentation I saw was ” A complete Tour of JSF 2.0″ by Ed Burns of Sun and Martin Marinschek of IRIAN Solutions. They presented of the new release of JavaServer Faces that had its specifications approved at the end of May. Ed Burns recognized the criticism of the first version of JSF and announced that they have adopted a lot of innovations created in the community to integrate them in version 2.0. The new release is not a revolution, but a strong evolution. Among the improvement, he cited composite components; AJAX support, either declarative or programmatic; partial state saving that will improve performance; more system events; better resources management: full “library” concept, support for versioning and internationalization; the replacement of JSP by Facelets; the possibility to have bookmarkable pages. For the presenters, JSF is a real open source project (that is not a “just Sun” project) with a lot of different contributors. The new version is more much easier to use and well worth a second look. To complete this presentation, I talked with Micha Kiener of mimmacom which distributes IceFaces in Europe. Micha is also a committer to JavaServer Faces and his point of view is interesting, even if he suggested that it could be biased due to his position ;o) He also thinks that the community around JSF is strong and that the technology would continue to evolve even in the case where Oracle, that just bought Sun, decided to withdraw its financial support. He doesn’t see JavaFX as a direct competitor to JSF. His view on the market is that some products (JavaFX, Flex, Silverlight) target more the mashup, media, gaming or mobile market. On the other hand, JSF, GWT and their Ajax frameworks competitors are more used to develop applications with a “traditional” user interface, like on-line banking for instance. That is how JSF is used by some major Swiss corporations. He made also interesting remarks on the open source market and the commercial companies that try to monetize these technologies. He sees some products, like user interface or programming frameworks, more as “contributors” to the software development infrastructure. You can make some money in training and support as companies adopt them, but this stops when the company has its own competencies. Other technologies, like databases or web servers, are applications that run the everyday software infrastructure. In this case it is easier to sign long term support contracts.

I also had the chance met some of the Jazoon organizers, Christian Frei and Andreas Knobel, of Keynode. They were very kind with me and happy with the fact that the conference audience was higher than last year. There registered this year 1000 participants, around 50% of them coming from outside Switzerland. Videos of some of the conference talks should be available in July on Parleys the excellent conferences video web site. You can also stay tuned on our Java videos and tutorial directory where the will be listed.

The Fires – Book Review

The Fires by Alan Cheuse

“The Fires” is a work that is actually comprised of two novellas: “The Fires” and “The Exorcism.”

“The Fires” deals with a married couple, initially looking back on their life and disappointments together. Gina is dealing with menopause and the pain of the reality that she will never have a child after having one that died. Paul is an engineer who frequently works in Russia and is killed in a car crash in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The majority of the novella is Gina trying to process her husband’s death, trying to figure out how to honor Paul’s wish to be cremated while in a Muslim country, and simply trying to figure out how she will cope with the rest of her life.

“The Exorcism” also deals with death and cremation, but it focuses more on the aftermath of these things. Tom Swanson’s first wife has recently died and been cremated when he receives a call from the dean of his daughter’s college. When he arrives at her school, he discovers that, in her anger, she has set fire to a piano and has been suspended. Much of the story takes place in the car on their way home, with Tom imagining what he might say to her when he wakes up.

Alan Cheuse already has my dream job and now he seems fast on his way to becoming one of my favorite writers. Both stories took me fully into the head of the main character and were absolutely beautifully written. I will absolutely be looking for more of Cheuse’s work.

Buy this book on Amazon.

Logan cut scene would have shown a flashback to the annihilation of the X-Men

Thought Logan was dark? It could have been worse...

Oh Charles, what did you do?!

In Logan, the latest instalment in the X-franchise, we find ourselves in 2049, a dusty future where most of the X-Men are no more and no new mutants are being born. Or so the world believes.

It's a powerful swan song for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine - a moving, violent and epic movie which feels very different from comic book films that have come before (read our review).

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

But what actually happened to the X-Men? It's hinted at in Logan but screenwriter Michael Green has revealed that we were almost shown a flashback of the "Westchester incident" a year before.

"It actually hits home a lot harder than the versions that really painted out specifically the flashback," Green told The Hollywood Reporter.

"Of course there are versions we wrote that were never filmed with the actual flashback of what happened, but I've found the experience of watching it is far more poignant to just know that it was something really regrettable and it was bad and most likely, friends were lost. Or maybe it was people we didn't know."

Sir Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman

Westchester was the location of the X-Mansion where Professor Xavier's school for mutants was founded.

While we never really learn exactly what happened there in Logan, there's an incident at a casino where Charles uses his powers to prevent Donald Pierce's 'Reavers' from killing him but in doing so causes pain and destruction to everyone in the wider vicinity. A radio report compares this to the Westchester incident.

"Was it Logan? Was it Charles? It was probably Charles but he doesn't know. He has no memory; he has no recollection. He has an instinct, an impulse, that something happened and it was bad," said Sir Patrick Stewart.

Logan superbowl trailer grab

Green says there are no plans to show the flashback - it was cut from the script and not filmed so it won't be a deleted scene, sadly - but he does have one hope for the fans...

"I would love one day to read a beautifully drawn comic where someone actually writes out something."

Sob. So would we.

Logan is out now in cinemas.

Suzie Sun – Slim & Sexed Up

Slim & Sexed Up

Slim & Sexed Up

After her first hardcore SCORE scene with Steve, Suzie Sun’s next blind sex date is with George. She gets a kick out of George, a leg freak as much as he is a tit man. To her amusement, he starts at the bottom, kissing Suzie’s high-heeled pump and working his way up to her black nylon stockings. Targeting Suzie’s cleavage in her bustier, he pulls the slim blonde’s pliable tits out of it so he can knead and squeeze them.

After Suzie has her pussy tongue-banged, she blows George’s beef whistle, staring at the camera with a bulging cheek. George holds her head and fucks her mouth. Suzie’s arms are at her sides as she sucks him hands-free and makes pleasure sounds, her dangling tits swaying. She says she’s not big about swallowing cum–maybe that’ll change in time–but she’s cool with a guy dropping his load on her face.

This girl likes to fuck and suck a man and she’s a natural on-camera. She’ll look at the camera occasionally as if she’s seeking approval about her sex moves and then at times, she gets lost in the pounding George is giving her. Suzie says that she’s the same whether she’s doing porn with a pro stud or just fucking boyfriends in her bedroom and that it’s all about having a good time.

Home Depot launches QR code initiative

Share this content:

The Home Depot launched a quick response (QR) code initiative with mobile barcode platform developer Scanbuy on March 22. Consumers can scan QR codes for products to receive information, such as product reviews and how-to guides, from the retailer.

“The main objective…is to further enhance the customer shopping experience by offering additional product and project know-how and increase customer conversion,” said Tom Sweeney, senior director of online strategy at Homedepot.com, via e-mail.

The retailer is rolling out the service in its print catalog and in stores that sell patio sets and live goods products, like plants and flowers.

“You'll be able to pull a product from Home Depot's shelf, and there'll be a QR code on it,” said Mike Wehrs, president and CEO of Scanbuy. “If you scan it, you'll get either a video on how to use that particular product, information about the supplier, appropriate usage guidelines, safety instructions, basically whatever Home Depot would like to have associated with that particular product.”

Consumers will also be able to purchase the product using their mobile phone after scanning the QR codes in-store or at home.

“By integrating our marketing message in an interactive manner, we will gain an understanding of what type of content drives the customer to interact with our brand both inside and outside the store,” said Sweeney. He added that Home Depot will not use any collected data for remarketing.

Wehrs said that from the information Scanbuy collects from each interaction, the company will “be able to tell [Home Depot] that this particular product was scanned at this particular time in this particular store.” He said Scanbuy will be able to track whether the scanned product was purchased, the length of time between scan and purchase, and the effectiveness of any cross-sell or up-sell efforts.

Consumers can scan the codes using any mobile scanner apps, including Scanbuy's ScanLife barcode reader, said Wehrs.

ABN Recovers Tape of Consumer Mortgage Data

Share this content:
Four days after a national mortgage provider began notifying consumers that a computer tape containing personal information on 2 million residential mortgage customers was lost, the tape was found by the courier shipping it.

The shipment's routing label and tracking number became detached, DHL said, but "based upon information contained within the original packaging, the shipment has been returned to its point of origin."

Though no evidence of misuse was discovered, ABN said it extended its offer of free credit monitoring from 90 days to one year through credit bureau TransUnion.

ABN, a subsidiary of LaSalle Bank Corp., said the tape was lost after being picked up from its Chicago data processing center by DHL bound for consumer credit bureau Experian's Allen, TX, facility. Data on the tape included names, account information, payment histories and Social Security numbers.

ABN said it has suspended shipping data on tapes in favor of encrypted electronic transmission.

ACS Buys CyberRep

Share this content:
Business process outsourcer Affiliated Computer Services Inc. said Friday that it bought McLean, VA-based CyberRep, a teleservices company that made headlines last year by swearing off outbound telemarketing.

Terms were not disclosed. However, Allied Capital, the holding company that owned CyberRep, said in a separate statement that it has realized a net $7 million gain on its investment with CyberRep after buying the company in 1998 for $4 million. Allied also said it had the potential to gain another $2.8 million from an earn-out provision and additional sale proceeds now in escrow.

CyberRep has 2,000 employees and handled 20 million inbound transactions last year including telephone, e-mail and other Web-based contacts. In November, the company began offering media interviews with its executives, who declared the "death" of outbound telemarketing and said CyberRep was no longer taking outbound assignments. A CyberRep executive told the Washington Post that the company had replaced its outbound business, which made up half of CyberRep's revenue in 1999.

I Just Don't Want to See Meth Heads Getting a Bad Name | Do Try This at Home: I Just Don't Want to See Meth Heads Getting a Bad Name

Saturday, November 13, 2010

I Just Don't Want to See Meth Heads Getting a Bad Name

Last night I argued on the side meth heads in my master's class. I don't know why, since I don't even know any meth heads. The-Guy is probably right, and my compassion is probably misplaced. Plus, I don't think the professor truly appreciated it. So if you know any meth heads who happen to be outstanding, stellar parents, could you please let me know? 'Cause it might help my grade.

Here's a sad sight - My Boy at the radio station. The DJ asked him to help out. There's a band playing in the lobby; you can see them through the doorway. What's he doing? Playing a video game on my ipod.

Oh well. What can you do? (I mean, besides drag him to volunteer at a radio station every now and again and hope it takes)Here's a mom and son having a little picknick tailgating thing. I didn't capture it well, but I like a lot of contradiction...like the fact that this sweet scene with the pretty sunset is happening in a Walmart parking lot.Here's my good for nothing cat. I think it's still called multitasking if one of the activities is a nap, isn't it?
Here's my Sweet Pea feeding that very same cat a dinner roll:I have these things. They got lousy reviews on Walgreens.com (where I happened to get the picture). I think they work pretty well compared to other wax strips. Sort of a strange name though:The-Guy and I had a conversation something like this last night:
Him: I'm going to lay down, but keep on doing your homework.
Me: Oh, I'm not doing any more homework.
Him: I thought you were defending meth heads.
Me: Oh yeah, I am defending meth heads. But that's it. I'm not doing any more homework after that.
We went to a wedding reception at a Mormon church in which the couple's car was decorated entirely in penises in the mistaken belief that the bride wanted it done that way. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture.

But other than that, it's been a thankfully uneventful week. Just working myself silly on homework, baking dinner rolls, defending meth heads, admiring a bride's would-be-penis-mobile...that kind of thing. Hope everyone else has had a good one too!

Nicki said...

Sorry, I can not empathize with meth heads or any other drug abusers. It is a lifestyle choice.
Finding a highly functional, productive member of the community meth head is like looking for an anorexic obese person - the two concepts contradict each other. I'm curious, what did you find redeeming about meth heads? Their potential to be rehabilitated, or that they could still contribute to society?

On a positive note, 12 year old boys seem to have a mind and will of their own - whats a mother to do! (now, if you didn't want him to participate at the radio station, you couldn't keep him from it with a ten foot pool). Your kitty is cute, and its good to see that our cat isn't the only bread crazed feline.

Marlene said...

I'm with Nicki....no empathy here, either.

Would have LOVED to have seen a car all decked out in penises, though! *snort* << that was laughter, not drugs! HA HA

SJ said...

You are in denial. You want to be a meth user and been avoiding it for all the uneventful things you do. Go out there and grab life by the bong!

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

Nicki - It's not that I find anything redeeming about meth heads. I don't even know any meth heads. I just don't believe that ALL meth heads wouldn't be better people if they could. It's actually a strange conversation that The-Guy and I have now and again. I totally believe The-Guy that the actions you do when you care about someone are what matters, and yet...I just believe that there are meth heads and addicts of other kinds who truly want to do better by others but just can't cope. It happened in class that the professor mentioned something about all parents caring except for meth heads. And I just couldn't let it go. But it still comes back to whether caring is really caring if you don't have the ability to show that you care. Sigh. I was totally joking with the title of the post though, albeit about something sad.

On the more positive note - funny about the ten foot pole! And I never knew the good for nothing cat liked bread! I did used to have a cat that loved Doritos though!

Marlene - I wanted to take a picture! I had my camera! But...I dunno...I guess I felt like preserving the brides dignity. :-)

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

OH and Nicki - I'm sorry if my double negative was confusing. What I meant is that I believe meth heads, many meth heads, would be better people if they could. Maybe not all meth heads, but at least some. I tend to be a total pessimist when it comes to what might befall us from day to day, but an eternal optimist when it comes to people's intentions.

Esther said...

Hmm, I so don't have empathy for those that use and abuse drugs...especially when there are children involved. It simply isn't right. For your other photos...it's funny to see the little things that make us smile throughout the day that most of the time don't get recorded. Thanks for sharing a little of your days this week. LOL about the bride's car.....yikes!

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

Esther - Yeah. I probably shouldn't have any empathy either. But I still do for some reason. I don't know why. It's not like I know any meth heads personally or can really say what their lives are like. But there it is: I feel bad for them, I wish they could figure out a way to live their lives in a less destructive manner...that's about it. And thanks on the other stuff! The bride's car WAS pretty funny...if it hadn't caused such a commotion!

Tracy said...

Sorry no emaphy here either. I have been around alcoholics and drug abusers too much in my life.
Funny I just wrote a statement on my FB page about it. I have very strong opinions on this matter. Considering I am a very easy going person.
Our cat has been in the habit of drinking out of our glasses. Not impressed LOL.

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

Tracey - Yes, I think the people in your life who have struggled with addictions have been way too close to you for you to be expected to have any empathy left.

But even so, there was that beautiful tribute you gave to your mom this summer on your blog. You spoke of her very, very lovingly on your post. It was clear that you understood her strengths as well as her weaknesses. Her very humanness really came through.

I think that's what really bothers me, so maybe it's something different than empathy - when people speak about addicts as if they weren't even human and didn't have feelings, as if they were not real people, dealing with real pain and real problems.

Janet said...

I do love the cat pics. How does your cat eat dinner rolls and stay so slim and trim? This is my question.

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

Janet - Yes, defending meth heads confuses even me. But I think my response to Tracy (right above your comment) is about as much sense of the matter as I can manage. What can I say? As for the cat, I'm not sure I understand him any better than I understand myself!

John C said...

Lot of people I know were refused admittance to their children's mormon weddings. The penismobile waiting outside with refused family is well deserved.

Arizaphale said...

Funny, I knew exactly where you were going with that meth head statement and your explanation to Tracy confirmed it! I am similarly looking for the good in people. I guess it's the whole idea that no one is beyond redemption....(in a non theological sense). As for the penis mobile: I am curious as to what the bride actually said which encouraged people to believe she wanted a car covered in penes(dictionary plural!)?
Oh...and re Your Boy and the ipod game? Take it off him. I frequently do this with Small Boy. If he is 'watching TV' and playing a game on the BA's ipod at the same time...I take the ipod away. I am trying to encourage depth in TV watching.

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

John - I actually thought we were going to a wedding until we examined the invitation more closely. Yes, the bride's father couldn't be at the wedding, which seems sad to me. But then, there are certain prayers that only Jewish people can say in my boy's upcoming bar mitzvah. But then again, his non Jewish family still gets to be there.

Arizaphale - It just never ceases to amaze me that AFM just figured we'd like each other...just like that! Had he even met you yet? And here you are, the one who understood even before reading my most coherent explanation. :-)

On the screen games, I take them away with frequency, much to my boy's disappointment. It happened that this time he had already made very good headway with schoolwork and had already been at the station a good couple of hours, so I gave in for awhile.

As for the penis-mobile, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I know that the misunderstanding started the way these things do, when the bride handed her brother "a bag of dicks".

Lotus07 said...

I had no idea that Mormons were so 'uninhibiited'....always saw them as a bit more conservative than a Penis-Mobile. Maybe Mormons are different in Texas than they are here in Arizona. ...... and every time I see body waxing strips....I cringe.

Return to Kennedale, Part Three!

by Danny White (7/98)

The Texas Quick 8 Association continued its year long points chase with the third race of the year at Kennedale's Texas Raceway Friday night on a hot night July 10. A grand total of thirteen cars showed to battle for the final eight-car field.

After two qualifying sessions, Landon "The Kid" Jordan came out on top of the qualifying charts. Landon drove his 1963 Corvette to a 4.29, 164.90 in the second session. The second spot was taken by Gaylen Smith in the newly christened Texas Bounty Hunter blown BAE 1994 Camaro, formerly owned by Clayton Pool, at 4.38, 168.01. The 168.01 pass by Gaylen would stand as top speed of the night's racing. Coming in third after qualifying was Frankie "The Mad Man" Taylor at a 4.44, 159.59 in his blown 1937 Chevrolet. Longtime Texas Raceway racer Grant Hensley got the fourth spot at a 4.60, 153.48 pass in the G-Force Racing 1992 Trans Am. Jimmy Freeman of Houston, TX, ran his best ever pass in the Must Be Magic 1970 Chevelle with a solid 4.60, 152.57 run. The lone Oklahoman in competition, Jason Davis, got the sixth spot with a solid 4.65, 148.80 in his beautiful 1997 Monte Carlo. Don Smith fought handling problems all night to take the number seven spot in radical 1967 Nova with the anteater nose at a 4.68 at only 134.80 miles per hour. The long shot of the field, Kim Smith in Seth Devlin's 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Pro Stocker, got the final spot with a last qualifying 4.69, 148.86. The 4.69 bump spot was a new Kennedale record for quick doorslammer racing.

The DNQs included chassis builder Nathan Martin in his father's new Stove Parts 1997 Firebird with a 4.76, 141.05. Martin would later run a 4.57on a test pass that would have qualified him earlier. Longtime racer Tommy Adams took his venerable 1969 Camaro to his best ever run of 4.81, 141.40 in the first session. Earl Folse from Raceland, LA, in his 1987 Cutlass Ciera formerly raced by Don Beverly ran a 4.93, 143.50 to cap off a frustrating evening of racing for him. Mark Walker took his unique blown Rodeck 1971 Pinto to the number twelve spot at a 5.02, 139.75. Mark Tolbert ended up dead last in qualifying in his 1988 Camaro from Austin, TX, when his big 444 c.i.d. small block sprang an unrepairable leak on the burnout in the first session. This ended his night of racing with no qualifying time.

Eliminations began with Grant Henley taking out Jimmy Freeman with a 4.53, 155.20 pass to Freeman's red lighting 5.84 shut off run. Frankie Taylor and Jason Davis were next and both ran some their best runs ever with Taylor winning 4.33, 165.30 to 4.58, 152.42. The most exciting race of the first round occurred between two Smiths, Don and Gaylen. Both cars left the line strong but Don Smith got crossed up first and shut off early while Gaylen Smith fishtailed to a 4.47, 151.90 run that hit the mile per hour pylon, disqualifying him. Don Smith's run of 5.02, 156.47 would take him to the next round. The last race of the round had the number one qualifier, Landon Jordan, and the number eight car, Kim Smith, racing each other. Kim Smith, the definite underdog, took his chances on the christmas tree and lost. He redlighted away his 4.79, 147 run to Jordan's dominant 4.30, 164.30 pass.

The semi final would have Frankie Taylor vs. Don Smith and Landon Jordan vs. Grant Hensley. Taylor ran a consistent 4.33, 167.20 to top Don Smith's crossed up 4.72, 118.18. Smith would not come close to his 4.20 potential. Jordan set the low E.T. of the night with a super 4.26, 165.50 to beat Hensley and his best ever run of 4.51, 155.61. Gaylen Smith made a test run to end the round and ran a 4.31, 163.50 in an effort to get in to the 4.20 zone.

The final would prove to be a good one with " The Kid" racing "The Mad Man" for the second quick 8 race at Kennedale in a row. The results were the same with the Jordan steamroller taking out Taylor with an excellent 4.27, 165.40 to beat Taylor's car length behind 4.46, 163.05. The win by Landon Jordan was his third straight of the year at Kennedale alone adding to his runner up finish at IHRA's Summer Nationals at Cordova, IL, earlier in the week.

LOL & Sunday Social

I have decided that weekend pass too quickly! This might be because I was so used to working Tuesday-Friday, having a 3 day weekend, and now I work Monday-Friday. It was too cold for the beach yesterday, so I did a little DYI project, which I will feature on my blog later this month...I'm pretty excited about it! Something else I'm excited about? My social life! I barely had one when I was living in rural Ontario but living in a City (again) has changed that.

Anyway...saw this on Facebook:

Sunday Social

1. 5 items you can't live without on a daily basis(water, food, shelter, and clothes dont count)
Blackberry (sad, I know), Kindle, Car, Laptop and my bed!

2. All time favorite book? Why?
I have a couple of favourite books, so I'm just going to pick one randomly:
Prep: A Novel It's just one of those books I can get lost in. It's about Lee's four years of high school, at a boarding school, where she is a scholarship student. This book addresses so many society issues (social class, racism, etc), it makes you think. Also, I loved my high school years and reading this book makes me go back to that time of my life.

3. Something you'd like to accomplish before the end of 2012
Hmm...get settled in my apartment!

4. If you could go back and relive any year of your life which year would it be?
I've had many great years in my life, a lot that I would love to go back and re-live. I'm going to pick my last year of high school, As mentioned, I loved my high school years and my grade 12 year was by far the best year. There was drama, of course, but the fun, good times far out way the dramatic. I have so many great memories and I had so much fun!

5. What do you wish people knew about you without you having to tell them?
I am so much nicer, friendlier and more fun than I actually look/come across.
