Boulder, Colorado Is America's Happiest City

and Fort Collins is number three, per Richard Florida's blog. Provo, Utah also comes out at the top of the pack.

Boulder also came out on top in the subcategory of physical health, which is unsurprising as Colorado as the least obese state in the nation.

Ohio is home to two of the least happy cities in the nation, Ashland and Youngstown. Shreveport, Louisiana; Myrtle Beach, North Carolina; and McAllen, Texas were also dismal in the happiness index.

College towns dominate the top of the list; the Rust Belt fills the bottom.

Selling Price of Water Damage Brisbane

Pouring rain, torrential flooding and high snow may cause severe water damage. Other two opposites include tornadoes, blizzards and hurricanes. All of these weather events can certainly destroy a structure. It does not necessarily have a sudden flood to cause damage; water in small or large amounts may cause severe damage. The power of water can be quite destructive and can't be underestimated.

Water damage cannot only cause structural and physical damage but financial and emotional damage too. For homeowners to avoid Water Damage Brisbane, being conscious of potential damage is essential.

1. Drywall becomes soft and falls apart when saturated.

2. Blocked drains and gutter may cause roofs to collapse.

3. Wet wooden materials start to rot.

4. Wet furniture can begin to mold.

5. Electronics and appliances quit working when wet.

6. Personal belongings and important documents might be ruined.

7. Diseases present in stagnant water may cause health problems.

8. Drinking water will end up contaminated if pipes aren't sealed correctly.

9. Wet electrical outlets may cause a fire or electrocution.

10. Water marks is going to be left on curtains and carpets.

11. Wallpaper, paint and tile will start to peel.

12. Once water has saturated a structure, the building blocks becomes unstable.

The trouble that Water Damage Brisbane puts around the owner is extremely obvious. All furniture and private belongings destroyed must be replaced which can cost lots of money. There are other hidden costs which are caused by water damage that aren't so obvious.

One that might be experienced is medical costs. Water Damage Brisbane can occasionally cause mildew and mold if not properly handled initially. The growing bacteria present in water may cause many health risks. Owners can experience rashes, allergies and respiratory problems when the water damage isn't properly cleaned and corrected. When medical assistance is needed, medication and office visits is going to be unexpected costs.

Another unforeseen price of Water Damage Brisbane is bills. Sometimes the flooding and damage can be so severe the structure is declared inhabitable. The residents will need to find another spot to live as the damage is fixed. Money must be spent on another spot to stay like a hotel or any other house.

It can also be important for proprietors to realize that not every material merchandise is going to be useful after being exposed to water damage. Those items which have been upholstered for example carpets and furniture can be challenging to restore. It may cost more to possess these items cleaned rather than simply replace them. Items made from cloth or paper must be thrown out and replaced too and this will also are more expensive money.

The Most Effective Way To Pick Up A Woman
- By Simon Heong

Here's the mindset you should have if you really want to be successful when it comes to dating and meeting women.

Firstly, take all the things that your mom & dad ever taught you about how to treat and date a woman and do the exact OPPOSITE!

It's not a secret anymore that even though a woman constantly says that all she wants is a nice, sweet, and caring guy in their life, often times they're actually lying to themselves -- without them even realizing it!

It's true! Seriously. In the movies, yes, the girl always falls for the nice guy, but in real life, especially more so if you really want to be able to be with as many women as possible in your lifetime - the nice guy route will get you nowhere and you'll end up getting nothing but rejections.

I'm not going to go into the details on the 'why' part of it because most of you might have already know about it.

Just in case you still don't know why, you can read all about it here in my "28 SureFire Ways To Instant Dating Success! Handbook...

But what I AM going to talk about today is why do women, especially attractive ones can act rather 'bitchy' and rude sometimes and how you can effectively pick up one - with ease.

First of all, you have to understand that attractive women, they get 'hit on' one way or another at least 10 times a day everyday- consistently.

Now at first it may all seem happy and nice with them receiving all the attention from the guys, and sure they can be all cutesy and polite to them whenever they're being approached but after a while, it all tends to get rather irritating and annoying - merely because they're hearing the same ol' lines, howlings and perv stares over and over again.

Exact words from a woman's mouth - not mine.

So what they do about it?

Well in order for them to 'save time', they would then be 'forced' to be more 'to the point' or as we like to call it 'bitchy' to the guys that approach them. Why must they be so mean? Simply because they HAVE to.

You see, if they weren't mean enough, guys who are usually thick-skinned will not get the point and they'll keep on pursuing UNTIL she says a firm no.

Makes sense?

How do I know this? Well, to be honest with you, it was merely by chance. I didn't get any of it at first until I started to really mix with women.

Sometimes, it's really good to have close girl friends because you might learn a LOT from them. I now begin to see it all from THEIR perspective now...

How to approach a woman? Now, I've noticed that most guys (the majority of them actually), whenever they approach a woman, they always start off by saying something like 'Hi there, you're gorgeous, oh by the way, my name's John, what's yours? I'd like to get to know you, bla bla bla..."

Heard of such a line before?

Or probably something along these lines?

Now, think about it. If you're a girl and you get asked the same question about 5-10 times a day, do you think that there's a high chance that you'll get immune to it?

Of course you would!

And I'm not guessing here because I had a girl friend who once told me the same thing that I'm telling you now!

It's just too 'typical' for them to receive such lame, everyday 'pick up' lines.

Best thing is, do you know instead what they would rather hear?

Try this: Go up to her, and just give her a funny compliment on something she LEAST expects to get a compliment on (NEVER compliment her looks, she's immune to that, remember?), you can compliment on her funky hairstyle, her heels, her big ears -- anything.

Just as long as its something she LEAST expects to hear from a guy.

Using humour is always good in picking up women. Humor added with a bit of spunk, along with a spot-on sarcastic tone and body language will definitely seal the deal for you -- and get her interested.

Surely. Think about it. This works. :-)

'Zorbing' Death Brings Call For Safety Rules; Fatal Ride Captured On Video

Jan 9, 2013
Originally published on January 9, 2013 10:02 am

Video of two Russian men climbing into an inflatable ball and rolling down a Russian mountain on a ride that would take them over a cliff, into a ravine, on to a frozen lake and cause one of the men's death, is getting a lot of views today.

And the accident has led to calls from "the New Zealand inventors of zorbing ... for a global code of safe operations to try and stamp out cowboy operators," the Otago Daily Times reports.

"Unfortunately, when you have a new adventure sport like this come out, especially in developing countries, you tend to see a lot of people not following any form of regulation," Zorb Ltd. chief executive Hope Horrocks tells the New Zealand newspaper.

Zorbs need, for example, safe landing zones and tracks or chutes that they can't easily roll out of — as appears to have happened in Russia.

Russia's RT.com says an investigation has been launched into the incident in the Karachayevo-Cherkessia region of the North Caucasus. It says the two men, Denis Burakov, 27, and Vladimir Shcherbov, 33, "came to [the] Dombay ski resort individually, but on Jan. 3 both decided they wanted to take a trip down a slope in an inflatable zorb. The zorbing experience, growing in popularity in Russia, cost each of them less than $10."

Gawker writes that "Burakov sustained a broken neck in the fall and died on the way to the hospital. Shcherbov suffered multiple lacerations and a concussion, but is expected to survive."

The horror experienced by the two men and what it might have been like inside that zorb has generated quite a bit of discussion on Reddit.

News Tips

A Honeoye man is facing charges in two counties today after allegedly stealing a car in Batavia, and driving it through a farm field in Livingston County.

21-year-old Richard Brown was arrested on Thursday night after deputies in Geneseo received a report of his involvement in a domestic dispute. He was jailed in Livingston County.

That same night, here in Batavia, a car was reported stolen on Liberty Street in Batavia. Brown's alleged domestic dispute and the car theft were not connected at that time.

Then on Friday, a farmer in Livingston County reported that a vehicle had driven through a farm field and ruined some of his crop. Deputies located the vehicle – which turned out to be the same car stolen in Batavia.
Then, investigators connected Richard Brown to the stolen vehicle, and the farm field incident as well.

Brown now faces charges of Criminal Mischief and Possession of Stolen Property in Livingston County. Batavia Police have also indicated that they will press charges in the near future.

 Bail was set at $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond.

News Tips

Suspects in small-business burglaries

Batavia Police are turning to the public once again to help them solve a growing problem: small business burglaries.

Since the beginning of summer, 10 businesses have been broken into, and had money taken. At least three of these burglaries were
reported by WBTA News last month and in months prior. Batavia's Original pizzeria has been hardest-hit, with two burglaries reported in less than a month.

In at least four cases, crooks have attempted to steal safe-boxes. They've been successful in either taking the safes or stealing the money inside a number of times.

Batavia Police Detective Charles Dudek is leading the effort to solve these burglaries. He reports today that a pair of white males are the prime suspects in all of these cases. The men have not been identified, but a witness did see them emerge from Ficarella's Pizzeria around the time of a reported burglary, without masks or hoods. They are described as between 5'8"-5'9" tall, aged late teens to early twenties. One of the suspects has short blonde hair and a stocky build. The other is thinner, with short dark hair.

Anyone with information on the suspects is asked to call Batavia Police at (585) 345-6350, or the Police Confidential tip-line at (585) 345-6370. You can also report criminal action to the police anonymously by

WSJ: Yahoo! Board Approves $1.1 Billion Purchase Of Tumblr

May 19, 2013
Originally published on May 19, 2013 3:39 pm

The Wall Street Journal has this breaking news from the tech world:

"The Yahoo board has approved a deal to pay $1.1 billion in cash for the blogging site Tumblr."

The Journal, the only outlet reporting the approval, is sourcing its story to "people familiar with the matter." Lauren Armstrong, a Yahoo spokeswoman, told us in an email that they "don't comment on rumors or speculation."

The Journal's sister site, All Things D, had reported the deal to buy the blogging site was imminent. All Things D explained:

"Sources said that the Silicon Valley Internet giant's CEO Marissa Mayer has decided that buying Tumblr was going to be 'the stake in the ground of what her strategy is going forward for Yahoo.'

"And that is to attract younger audiences with just the kind of user-generated content Tumblr has pioneered to huge growth.

"As with all big-time acquisition deals, this one could certainly fall apart at the last minute, but source said the agreement was still in place as of today. If approved by Yahoo's board, it will be announced Monday. Yahoo has already said it has news to announce then."

It's always worth noting that these kinds of deals can fall apart.

Giga Om, by the way, ran a good story that looks at the many aspects of the deal. One of them: A $1 billion valuation for Tumblr may be a stretch. Last year, the company had revenues of less than $15 million.

Giga Om adds:

"... The painful fact is that Yahoo doesn't just look desperate — in many ways it is desperate. Mayer has made some changes since she took over the ailing former web portal, including the acquisition of Summly and a number of other mobile-focused startups and services, but the company still needs to make some aggressive moves if it is going to jump-start any growth at all. And since Yahoo has about $4 billion in cash on hand, it can arguably afford to make a big bet."

Update at 3:35 p.m. ET. A Test For Mayer:

The New York Times, which is now also reporting the story citing "people with knowledge of the agreement," reports that this will be a test for Mayer.

The Times reports:

"[Mayer] will have to ensure that Tumblr does not get lost inside Yahoo. In the past, acquisitions made by Yahoo's former chiefs, including Geocities, an early social site, and Flickr, the popular photo-sharing Web site, have either been shuttered years later or neglected within the company.

"Yahoo and Tumblr have been in talks since last week trying to finalize details of the acquisition. Facebook, Microsoft and Google all showed interest previously in purchasing Tumblr, an employee of Tumblr said, but those talks never culminated in final offers."

WDFW Big Game Hunting Seasons and Rules Pamphlet errata

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has made several corrections and clarifications to errors in the recently released 2003 Big Game Hunting Seasons and Rules pamphlet.

Corrections announced on August 27, 2003

  • Page 25 lists GMU 329 & 371 as permit only but on Page 26 under Eastern Washington Mule Deer it lists all 300 GMU open to general season. It should read all 300 GMU except 329 & 371.

  • Page 25 lists GMU 157, 490, 522 as closed, but on page 26 the chart doesn't list GMU 157 & 490 as closed and GMU 485 as permit only.

  • Page 32 reads $20.00 for Non-Resident Special Deer Permits-Second Deer "B" tag. It should read Non-Resident $200.00.

  • Page 38 reads Early Western Washington WM 3 pt min or. It should read Early Western Washington WM 3 pt min or Anterless.

  • Page 46-hunting season hours- reads days of hunting season as Sunday September 1 - Sunday September 8. All days listed are one day off. September 1st is a Monday not a Sunday. September 9th is a Tuesday not a Monday etc.

  • Page 36 reads GMU 157 & 371 in the modern firearm general elk season as permit only. These two GMUs should not be listed in the general season section. They are listed in the special permit section. The date listed for GMU 157 on page 36 reads October 25-Nov 2 it should read Nov 1-9, which is correct on page 39.

  • Page 37 reads Late Season Overlap section GMU 652. GMU 652 is not open for late season overlap.

  • Page 40 & 41 reads hunt choice 2051* & 2113*, it should read 2051A & 2113A.

  • Page 37 lists GMU 624 in two areas. It should be 3pt min or antlerless, not just 3pt min.

  • GMU 485 is a permit only GMU for deer and is not open during the late buck hunt. On page 25 it correctly states GMU 485 is permit only. The table on page 26 should list it as permit only.

Corrections announced on June 3, 2003

B-tag clarification:
B-tags are for antlerless deer and are applied for like any other special permit. Permit applications can be purchased through hunting and fishing license dealerships, via the toll-free license sales phone number (1-866-246-9453), or via the Internet at

Hunters from each of the three weapon groups can apply for a B-tag, and it can only be used during the early part of the general season for that GMU, consistent with the hunter's weapon choice.

For example, if a hunter designates modern firearm for the first, over-the-counter deer tag, the corresponding B-tag would be valid for the early season modern firearm dates for that GMU. Hunters are not required to use the general season tag before using the B-tag.

Once selected, successful permit holders can purchase their B-tag from any license vendor, but it must be purchased by Aug. 18. The "B-tag" is $20 for resident hunters, $10 for youth hunters and $200 for non-residents, plus the normal dealer and transaction fees.

Other corrections:

  • As in recent years, Game Management Units 329 and 371 remain permit-only units for deer. Only those hunters who draw a special permit for GMU 329 or 371 will be allowed to hunt deer in those units.

  • GMUs 157, 490, 522 are closed to deer hunting.

  • On Page 38, early muzzleloader elk rules for GMUs 501, 652, 663, 667 should read 3 pt. minimum or antlerless.

  • On Page 46, the days of the week in the hunting hours table are out of sequence with the calendar dates. Hunters should follow the calendar dates (Sept. 1, etc.) rather than the days of the week.

  • The muzzleloader deer permits listed on page 32 are for youth hunters only.

  • Hunters should disregard the muzzleloader deer permit hunt 1103 in GMU 130 because this unit has a general season during the same timeframe when muzzleloader hunting is already allowed

WDFW will provide additional updates and corrections as needed. Corrections clarifications and frequently asked questions are also on the big game hunting seasons and regulations portions of the WDFW website, at on the Internet.

I was very pleased this morning to find in my mailbox another translation of the "Internet Prayer" I wrote in Latin many years ago.  This prayer is all over the internet.

A kind soul translated the prayer into …

CAPAMPANGAN (Phillipines)

Pangadi Bayu Tuglung King Internet:
O kipnuan king upaya at alan-anggang Dios,
king anyu Mu lelang Mu kami
at sinabi Mu kekami ing dulapan mi ya ing cayapan, ing catutuan, at ing caniwan,
lalu’t lalu na ing tagle cabanalan na ning Bugtung Mung Anak, Y Jesucristong Guinu mi,
itulut Mu, pagamu-amu mi Keka,
king kapamilatan nang San Isidro, Obispo at Doctor,
a sana king penandit ning pamaglayag mi king Internet
iyungyung mi la ding mata at gamat mi bucud mung king bague munie ligaya Keka
at pakibagayan mi la sana king mitmung lugud at kapakumbaban ding maldang caladwang kekaming akatalamitanan.
Kapamilatan na ning Cristong Guinu mi.  Amen.

At the time I wrote the prayer, there was much talk about a "Patron Saint" of the Internet and many people were interested in St. Isidore of Seville.   That is why he is invoked.  But there is no reason why you could not invoke the help of any saint.  Nothing is official yet, and even then we can pray to whom it pleases us.

I am always hoping to get new versions of this prayer.  If you look at the list and see that your language is not represented, perhaps in your kindness you will work on a translation and share it with us!

Here is the English version:

A prayer before logging onto the internet:
Almighty and eternal God,
who created us in Thy image
and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful,
especially in the divine person of Thy Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
grant, we beseech Thee,
that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor,
during our journeys through the internet
we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee
and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter.
Through Christ our Lord.   Amen.

  1. This prayer was translated to Capampangan (major Philippine language) from English by Renato B. Alzadon of Academia Ning Amanung Sisuan (ANASI), through the help of my godfather, Atty. Almario C. de Jesus, now living in California. If there are any errors, I alone should be blamed. Thank you, Fr. Z!

  2. joye says:

    May I ask who translated the Chinese version, Father? I lived in Taiwan for a year and attended Mass in Mandarin more than once a week, and some of the word choices seem a little strange. For example, the Chinese I have known (and the Mass I heard there) do not use the second person polite “nin2” for God; God has a second person form restricted solely for His use, “ni3” (with the “deity” radical, sorry if I’m getting a little technical here.) It’s possible that Chinese in the People’s Republic of China use different word choices, but to me, using “nin2” seems odd, maybe even disrespectful.

    The Chinese translation of the Mass strikes me as awkward in some places anyway though. For example, in the Lord’s Prayer, we thank God for “ri4yong4 de shi2liang2” which means “daily foodstuffs” NOT “daily bread”. (During the consecration however they DO use the word “mian4bing3” which means “wheat bread”.) And as another example, the ending “through Christ our Lord” (as seen in the sprinkling rite) is rendered in Chinese as “yi3shang4 suo3 qiu2, shi4 kao4 wo3men de zhu3 ji1du1” which means literally “what is prayed above, relies upon our Lord Christ”. Prepositions are tricky in Chinese, so I can sorta understand why they did it that way, but it really lacks the succinctness of the original, and doesn’t sound that great in Chinese. But it’s currently the official translation of that line, so… yeah.

    But we answer “yuan4 Zhu3 yu3 ni3men tong2zai4 (the Lord be with you)” with “ye3 yu3 ni3 de xin1ling2 tong2zai4 (and with your spirit)” so I still gotta prefer it to ICEL, haha.

  3. wsxyz says:

    None of the prayers with non-latin characters render correctly in my browser even though I do have all the correct fonts and can browse websites that use these characters (Korean, Chinese, etc) with ease.

    I know I’m not being helpful by providing a solution the the problem, but I just thought I would let you know.

Link info for buying, selling and marketing your business

New Google Blog Search is Great Marketing News for Business Podcasts, Blogs and RSS Feed Publishers

Google just introduced Blog Search in beta yesterday. This new search function allows for you to search the internet for Blogs, Podcasts and RSS feeds. You simply type in your keywords and it will show you results that have come from these sources.

The results they display are not showing any preferences to Blogs that are published on Blogger. We are seeing results for all Blogging platforms. Actually Google Blog Search is not just looking at Blogs. They are looking for any RSS feed, which might be from a Blog, Podcast, or any other XML feed. It appears that the search tool is pretty responsive and we are seeing results show up in a matter of hours after a new post is made to the RSS Blog and Podcast Feed. This is another way that you can create online visibility for your business.

The organic results are sorted by relevancy, but you have the option to sort them by date as well. This is especially nice if you want to locate the latest post for a fast breaking news topic and want to find it quickly in the blogosphere. The other thing that Google has done is to try to eliminate some of the “noise” and Spam of the blogosphere. They are looking at high quality Blogs and show them at the top of the page under what is called “Related Blogs”. This is prime real estate for your Blog to be listed in.

As an example: Go to the new Google Blog search ( ) and type in podcasting tips. The results that are shown at the top 2 of the 3 Related Blogs happen to be authored by me. You will also see over 1600 results and we have several additional results on the front page. This is because we are writing 6 quality Blogs and publishing quality content frequently to these Blogs.

Google currently does not support a manual submission for your Blog feed. I think this is smart, since it keeps the unethical people out of the picture. If you are Blogging or Podcasting properly and following best practices; your feed will be found by Google. Make sure that you are also following best practices for pinging after your feed is updated. This will ensure that your feed is updated by Google.

It looks like Google started to index Blogs, Podcasts and RSS feeds in June . They are currently not showing posts that were made previous to this. They may change this in the future. Google has found a way to somewhat keep the black hat SEO and unethical Bloggers out of the results. We can all celebrate this; because this means quality and relevant results for searchers.

Podcasters should also take note that individual podcast shows are also being listed in the results. This is a great way for users find your podcasts and individual podcast shows, based upon specific topics and content.

If you are serious about improving your marketing and the online visibility for your business website; then you need to be creating quality content with a quality Blog or Podcast. If your business wants to get maximum exposure in this important new area of Google you should work with professionals that truly understand this technology. You can look at as they have experience with many Blogging, RSS and Podcasting Solutions.

15 Tips to Bring More Traffic to Your Blog

There are many factors that make blogs much better than normal WebPages including the speed at which blogs are indexed, ability to submit to blog directories & normal directories, pings and track backs. All these little things can help drive more traffic to blogs. Here are 15 popular techniques you can use:

1. Create at least four keyword posts per day. Most of the top blogs such as Boing Boing, Daily Kos, and Instapundit (with literally tens of thousands of visitors per day) publish an average of 30 small 100-150 word posts per day according to "Secrets of the A-list Bloggers: Lots of Short Posts" by

2. Submit to My Yahoo! When you submit your own RSS to My Yahoo it is indexed by Yahoo.

3. Submit to Google's Reader. When you submit your own blog RSS to Google's Reader the Google Blog Search will index your site.

4. Add a relevant link directory to your blog and trade links like a demon possessed! Although it may take more time than simply submitting to a search engine one time, this method is perhaps the best way to drive traffic to your site. Use software such as Zeus to speed up the link trading process.

5. Use ping sites like ping-o-matic. Ping your site every time you add a new post.

6. Submit your blog to traditional search engines such as AltaVista, and MSN.

7. Submit your blog to traditional directories such as DMOZ. Directories (particularly DMOZ) increase relevance with Google. DMOZ is very picky, but what do you have to lose by trying?

8. Submit to as many RSS Directories and Search Engines as possible. This is a simple but repetitive process that can be done with software such as RSS SUBMIT.

9. Comment on other blogs. Do not just leave short, lazy comments like "I agree." Leave well thought out replies that will force readers to wonder "who wrote this?"

10. Use track backs. If there is a blog that you refer to or quote and it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track back. It increases your link popularity and may even score a few interested readers from the linked site.

11. Go offline. Use newspaper ads, public bulletin boards, business cards, even stickers to let as many people as possible know your blog exists.

12. Add a link to your blog in your e-mail signature block.

13. Use Groups (Usenet). Find a relevant group on Google groups, Yahoo groups, MSN groups or any of the thousands of other FREE group services and find like minded people and talk with them. Make sure to use your blog URL like it is your name.

14. Use Forums. Forums are one of the best places to go for advice. Go to forums and find problems to solve. Make sure you leave your blog name, but be tactful about it; some forums get annoyed with those who selfishly drop a few links to their own site and leave.

15. Tag your website. Tagging is a new idea that has erupted across the web. Sites like, Technorati and many others have a social feature that allows you to place your article under keywords or "tags" that everyone interested in that tag can see.

Summer Games Done Quick 2016 Begins This Afternoon

Every year, I devote one month to video game livestreams. Catching up on E3 news and Extra Life occupies a week apiece; the other two I dedicate to Games Done Quick, which returns this afternoon with its summer installment.

Like Awesome Games Done Quick, the annual Summer Games Done Quick marathon brings hundreds of speedrunners together for several days. Those players demonstrate their skills by blazing through games as fast as possible, but the ceremony also benefits people besides the thousands of viewers; the runners assemble in the name of charity.

AGDQ assists the Prevent Cancer Foundation while SGDQ helps Doctors Without Borders, an emergency medical care organization that provides support during epidemics, natural disasters, and so on to more than 60 countries worldwide. You can donate here if you have the money to spare. Doing so also qualifies you for the various prizes the community chipped in.

Otherwise, spread the word. The event begins with a pre-show at 12:30 PM EDT. 30 minutes later, observe runner “Bounceyboy” tackling Super Mario Sunshine as the stream officially gets underway. For the rest of the evening, stick around for playthroughs of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Demon’s Souls, Bastion, Catherine, and New Super Mario Bros. That’s one hell of a day-one lineup.

Of course, the next six days look equally exciting. Expect to see Ratchet & Clank, Dishonored, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Super Meat Boy, Resident Evil 2, Deus Ex, Fallout 4, Super Mario Land, Final Fantasy Adventure, Typing of the Dead, and much, much more. I would bookmark the schedule (it accounts for your time zone) before the site experiences any heavy traffic.

If this is your first Games Done Quick marathon, too, you’d be surprised at how enjoyable the whole exhibition is. Watching someone conquer games from your childhood, frame by frame ‒ through glitches, raw talent, or both ‒ is a jaw-dropping spectacle, and groups such as Games Done Quick (who pledge hundreds to the less fortunate) are worthy of your attention.

About Genistar

We are a Financial Education company. Most of us were not taught about money growing up. We went to school, prepared for a job, started earning an income; but were never taught how to do the right things with our money.

At Genistar, we teach basic money principles to middle income families.

There are two aspects to our company.

First, we believe in educating middle-income families about their finances.

We feel that an educated consumer is better able to make intelligent decisions for their own family in the areas of mortgages, consumer debts, insurance and investments. We teach families like ours, how money works. We provide our clients with education and a Personalised Financial Analysis (that we call the Financial Game Plan) for their family which identifies areas for improvement and gives common-sense alternatives. We are passionate about helping to save families.

Secondly, we are expanding. Much like an apprenticeship programme we are looking for people to train and mentor in our business.

There is an URGENT need to educate families about their finances. Debt is reaching crisis proportions globally and in particular the UK. So it has created an incredible opportunity in the marketplace for entrepreneurial-minded individuals. We are interested in interviewing people for either part-time positions or full-time positions. There are also opportunities in our company to open up new locations.

Panel Gathers to Explore Veteran Transition

Apr 19, 2012

Thursday, April 19, 2012

Veterans and veterans’ advocates gathered Wednesday night to hash out some of the issues facing GI’s as they return from combat zones and try to assimilate back into stateside life. The discussion repeatedly returned to finding and keeping a job.

The jobs just haven’t been there for the last few years, said Pennsylvania Careerlink Mon Valley office Veterans’ Representative John Bittner. But it’s getting better.

“We’ve seen more activities in jobs that veterans would like to take in about the last six months,” said Bittner with an air of optimism. “More jobs available for field service technicians… some of the manufacturing jobs requiring advanced electronic that you acquire in the service they took a nose dive… they’re coming back.”

However, panel member Sean Parnell, who is a best-selling author and Afghanistan war veteran, said it is not always clear to a potential employer how the skills gained in the military translate to the work force. He uses a solider who is highly skilled in the use of a mortar system as an example. “Most people, when he transitions into the workforce, don’t even know what a mortar is,” Parnell explained. “So this veteran who was once the best finds himself flipping burgers somewhere.”

Parnell said he does not think there is anything “devious or malicious” going on, it’s just that civilian employers do not know what the vet can offer.

Part of the process members of the military go through when they are being demobilized includes job search skill training, but many vets feel the way the information is presented is less than useful. Careerlink is trying to address that issue and will soon be launching a new program aimed at giving the information to vets in a way and at a time that they can make sense of it.

Once a veteran finds a job, it is not always easy to settle into the workplace environment. “Combat makes you a perfectionist and it makes you hyper-vigilant,” said Bittner, “and when you go into a job you are going to be working beside civilians and you are going to be working for supervisors who don’t share those traits, and that’s going to make you very impatient.” A veteran needs to learn how to deal with that, said Bittner.

The Veterans Administration and Careerlink continue to work with employers and vets to smooth the transition. However, Parnell says the onus of helping vets transition in every aspect of their lives is on the American society as a whole.

Interchange – John Blair

Host Tom Healy talks with legendary Hoosier environmentalist, John Blair about “Indiana’s Inconvenient Truth: world-class pollution”. Blair is co-founder and president of Valley Watch, an Evansville-based organization devoted to the health and environmental integrity of the Ohio Valley in southwestern Indiana. He recently took training with Al Gore’s Climate Project to prepare him for public talks about global warming. Blair specifically focuses on Indiana’s contribution to greenhouse gases via coal-fired power plants. In addition, Blair, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his news photography in 1978, also speaks about media and the importance of a strong First Amendment. Blair was arrested for protesting vice-president Cheney’s visit to Evansville in early 2002. He eventually sued the city of Evansville and prevailed at trial in a case that has far-reaching implications for free speech and civil liberties. A dedicated activist, Blair also discusses the importance of citizen engagement in government and offers some suggestions from his own successes in battling the Marble Hill nuclear power plant and preventing the dumping of nuclear waste in the Hoosier National Forest.

GAMIS Commissions New Study: The Book Market Outlook

Monday, January 20, 2003

Press release from the issuing company

ALEXANDRIA, VA (January 20, 2003) — The Graphic Arts Marketing Information Service (GAMIS) of the Printing Industries of America recently commissioned Charles, Charles & Associates, Phoenix, Arizona, to complete a study entitled "The Book Market Outlook." The primary objective of this research effort is to document technological and societal changes impacting the book publishing industry and to forecast the effect of future technologies on book demand and publishing/printing processes. The study will summarize trends and statistics through 2001, and forecast trends and projections through 2012. The scope of the research will be limited to the United States and Canada, with commentary on imports outside these regions.

New Canon systems to integrate with SharePoint and Google Docs

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

Press release from the issuing company

Tokyo — Canon Inc. and Canon Marketing Japan Inc. today announced the introduction to the Japanese market of "Scan and Print for imageRUNNER ADVANCE," a free-of-charge application that enables users of Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction office systems to directly access cloud services from the devices.
Based on MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform) technology, Canon's Scan and Print for imageRUNNER ADVANCE application, to be made available in mid December, allows users to scan paper-based documents on an imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine and directly store the scanned data on a cloud service without a PC. In addition, the application also makes possible the printing of cloud-stored files.

By facilitating direct integration with Microsoft SharePoint Online and Google Docs, the industry's leading cloud services, Scan and Print for imageRUNNER ADVANCE provides expanded services for users of both cloud services.

The new Canon application lets users store paper-based documents on cloud services directly from an imageRUNNER machine without the need for a PC. The stored data can then be accessed from a PC, handheld device or smartphone, and simultaneously shared among multiple users regardless of location. As such, users can realize significant management cost savings compared with managing paper-based documents, and can also use their imageRUNNER ADVANCE device to easily print out electronic data stored and managed on cloud services, again without the need for a PC.

Following its introduction in the Japanese market, Scan and Print for imageRUNNER ADVANCE will be rolled out globally to North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia.

In the future, Canon will continue offering new services in connection with cloud services.

Progressive Solutions Purchases HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press to Support Growth and Expand Into New Markets

Friday, July 11, 2014

Press release from the issuing company

PALO ALTO, Calif -  HP announced today that Progressive Solutions has added the HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press to its exclusive portfolio of HP Indigo presses to stay current with the latest technology as well as offer customers new and enhanced products with the larger 29-inch print format.

Progressive Solutions, a Santa Clara-based printer since 1990, operates three web-to-print business divisions including StationeryHQ, serving the stationery and gift space; FreckleBox, offering personalized gifts for kids; and PrintHQ, for the corporate marketplace. The HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press is expected to strengthen the company's position in the stationery and personalized gift markets, which account for two-thirds of its overall business.  In addition, the press will help the company promote additional corporate and print broker opportunities.

"We began running HP Indigo presses in 2004, and we have purchased eight since then, and the HP Indigo 10000 is truly a game changer because of its  size," said Mark Sarpa, chief executive officer, Progressive Solutions. “We’ll have the ability to create new products outside of the current capabilities that we have never done before. In addition, it will enable us to produce current projects quicker, while also being more cost efficient."

Innovating new products to drive future growth

One of Progressive Solutions' specialties is printing double-thick stock from a process it invented for digital for products such as deluxe wedding invitations. The addition of the HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press will open similar creative opportunities and also help differentiate Progressive Solutions in the photo book market. The company expects new business and cost savings from printing efficiencies to yield double-digit growth as high as 20 percent.

“After 10 years of experience working together, what I love about HP Indigo presses is the consistent quality and that the company shares other customer experiences as key learnings because, for them, it's all about the long-term win," said Sarpa.

With the HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press, Progressive Solutions can also gain efficiencies when producing short run and variable data projects. The larger sheet size is beneficial for various projects such as 8 x 11-inch landscape books that can now run two across. This was not previously possible due to the 13 x 19-inch sheet size on their Indigo 7500. The HP Indigo 10000 allows the company to produce die-cut folders in short runs or large quantities of 300 or more. The same applies for its retail and wholesale wrapping paper business where previous requests for 50-100 rolls were turned down. With the new press, the company can now cost-effectively produce high value wrapping paper in a range of order sizes.

“The market is prime for print service providers to leverage advances in digital printing to produce innovative products and grow into untapped markets," said Yishai Amir, vice president and general manager, Americas Graphics Solutions Business, HP. "The HP Indigo 10000 expands Progressive Solutions’ digital capabilities so it can cultivate business by offering current and prospective customers more cost-effective, out-of-the-box products such as oversized photo books and customized wrapping paper in short runs."

Maxwell (VTM)

Talk0 Share

Former Prince

Maxwell was the Brujah Prince of Chicago from 1837 to 1871.

Maxwell ruled Chicago for 34 years, and the fact that a black man could claim such an austere office for himself (at such time in history), led the elder Inyanga to Chicago. He was deposed by Lodin in the Devil's Night of 1871 -- a great fire started by a suicidal Malkavian that raged through the streets of Chicago burning 18,000 buildings (and destroying Maxwell's supporters at the same time).

The deposed Prince eluded an assassination attempt escaping through a window, and since that time he has traveled as he saw fit, but always longing to return to Chicago. While Maxwell has gained little direct influence since returning to the city, he has seized control of the Chicago Police Internal Affairs Division. He hopes that he can eventually use this to control the entire organization.

When he heard of Lodin's final death, however, he immediately caught the next flight to Chicago.

Detroit's Big Three Toss $26 Million Into Pot For 'Grand Bargain'

Jun 9, 2014
Originally published on June 9, 2014 6:42 pm

As Detroit's bankruptcy trial inches closer, groups are contributing funds to what's become known as the "Grand Bargain" — the effort to protect retired city workers' pensions and the Detroit Institute of Arts from creditors. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler just announced they will pitch in, too. But, as Michigan Radio's Tracy Samilton reports, the entire Grand Bargain could unravel if the city's retirees reject the deal.

A fund to protect art and pensions in Detroit is growing. As the city's bankruptcy trial inches closer, more groups are contributing to what's been called the grand bargain. The latest to pitch in, Detroit's big three - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Michigan Radio's Tracy Samilton has more.

TRACY SAMILTON, BYLINE: Detroit and its creditors are going to trial in bankruptcy court in less than two months. Everything is on the table for creditors to claim, including the pensions of retired city workers and the city's gem of a museum, the Detroit Institute of Arts. The DIA is a gorgeous Beaux-Arts building. Its collections have been compiled over the past 130 years. On a warm Sunday afternoon, a small group of people is with tour guide Grant Gorman(ph), looking at the museum's most prized masterpiece by Diego Rivera.

GRANT GORMAN: Behind me, you'll see one of two large panels, which are meant to represent the prime industry of Detroit - the auto industry.

SAMILTON: The immense murals show both the grandeur and the dark side of the auto industry. They were commissioned by Edsel Ford, Henry Ford's son. The threat that these murals and possibly every other artwork owned by the city could be sold to the highest bidder struck a nerve. Margarita Sanchez(ph) drove here from Lansing, hoping this is not the last time she gets to visit.

MARGARITA SANCHEZ: There is nothing better in Michigan in art than the Detroit Art Institute, so all of us should get behind it.

SAMILTON: It is the grand bargain, an attempt to raise nearly a billion dollars to save the museum and protect the pensions of thousands of retired police, fire and other city workers from deeper cuts. So far, local and national foundations have kicked in more than $370 million, and the Republican-controlled state legislature pitched in nearly 200 million. The museum itself has pledged $100 million - a huge commitment, leading it to turn to GM, Ford and Chrysler for help. GM will contribute $10 million, Ford, another 10, and Chrysler, six. Michigan's governor, Rick Snyder, says the auto industry knows what it's like to struggle.

GOVERNOR RICK SNYDER: If you think back a few years ago, did we think we would see a day when they were stepping up to support the community at this financial level? They were struggling for their survival.

SAMILTON: Reid Bigland is with Chrysler. He says the auto industry and the city of Detroit are inextricably linked.

REID BIGLAND: I think people are going to see that Detroit is on the mend. And in my opinion, even though we kind of hit rock bottom a little while ago, I think things are looking up in the city of Detroit.

SAMILTON: But the grand bargain is still in a perilous state. That's because most of the city's retirees still have to approve a cut to their pensions of up to four-and-a-half percent. A bitter pill to swallow, though far less than will likely be imposed if the grand bargain collapses. The city's emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, says the city's future is now in the hands of people who worked for Detroit their whole lives.

KEVYN ORR: You're being asked to make a sacrifice. We are aware of that. But I need your help.

SAMILTON: Retirees have until early July to cast their votes. The bankruptcy trial is scheduled to begin shortly after that, with or without the grand bargain. For NPR News, I'm Tracy Samilton. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Thunder Dragon

From Beywiki, the Beyblade Encyclopedia - Presented by the World Beyblade Organization
Jump to: navigation, search

Thunder Dragon
Number: -
System: HMS
Type: Attack

Languages: English|français|italiano

Thunder Dragon is one of the winners of the 2003 Coro Coro HMS Beyblade design contest, the other winner was Sea Dragon. It was the first Beyblade to use a CWD.

Name Change

Hasbro released Thunder Dragon as Thunder Serpent.

Bit Protector (BP): Thunder Emblem

The Bit Protector of this Beyblade is Thunder Emblem. It is the second mold version of Bit Protectors.

Attack Ring (AR): Spark Dragon

  • Weight: 14 grams

Spark Dragon has two separate parts, the Metal Frame and the ABS Caul. The Metal Frame sits on the inside of the ABS Caul and allows it to spin freely around it. The ABS Caul has three blunt contact points, along with a number of smaller ones which gives it some Smash Attack. The problem with Spark Dragon, and why no Blader should ever use it is because it is both free spinning and because all of the metal on the AR is from the Metal Frame, which will never come into contact with other Beyblades. Because the ABS Caul is free spinning, there will never be enough force to Smash an opponent, it will just continue spinning when hit. The TAKARA version of Spark Dragon can spark.

Ruling Clarification

Unlike other Metal Frames on HMS ARs where they must be unscrewed to detach, Spark Dragon's Metal Frame pops in and out without any tools required, and it should be mentioned that it is in fact illegal to use it without the ABS Caul of Spark Dragon.

Weight Disk (WD): CWD Free Survivor

  • Weight: 17 grams

CWD Free Survivor is the one part that can truly make Thunder Dragon a worthy purchase. CWD Free Survivor has an almost identical design to the Survivor Ring of the Dark Series of plastic Beyblades, except that it is free spinning as the name implies. With its circular form, CWD Free Survivor is a welcome addition to many types of Beyblades. It can protect against Upper Attack, and is heavier than even Circle Heavy.

Ideally, it should be used with the heavier CWD Metal Part from Sea Dragon's CWD Defense Ring, though the fact CWD Defense Ring generally serves the same purposes as CWD Free Survivor should be considered if on a restrictive budget.

Use in Defense Customization

You can build a nice, heavy Defense customization by utilizing CWD Free Survivor. For ideal performance, the RC should be somewhat worn to increase grip.

Running Core (RC): Metal Weight Flat Core

  • Weight: 3 grams

Metal Weight Flat Core can be considered an upgrade to Gaia Dragoon MS's Flat Core. The added weight on the interior of the RC makes it slightly heavier, and moderately increases its survival and controllability compared to Flat Core. However, this is where the differences end; Metal Weight Flat Core has the exact same design as Flat Core in all other respects.

Mold Variations

The Takara Metal Weight Flat Core has a wider tip than the one that Hasbro produced. This results in a higher movement speed in the Takara version.

Use in Upper Attack Customization

Metal Weight Flat Core is not the most desirable choice out there for Attack types, but it can be used.

  • AR: Slash Upper (Slash Riger MS)
  • WD: Circle Wide
  • RC: Metal Weight Flat Core (Thunder Dragon)

Other Versions

Thunder Dragon - HMS Random Booster ACT 1 Version (Black, Prize Beyblade)
Thunder Dragon - HMS Random Booster ACT 5 Version (Off White)

Aside from CWD Free Survivor, Thunder Dragon does not have a lot to offer, and even CWD Free Survivor has been outclassed by other parts. If you already have CWD Defense Ring, or even CWD God Ring from Shining God MS, there is no reason for you to buy this Beyblade.

Near a rest stop and waterfall on Hana Hwy on Maui

Go by on my way to the airport

I didn't actually expect to make it to this hashpoint, as it seemed to be in heavy forest, but I didn't expect it to be quite so pretty.

I had brought a lunch around with me, and decided to eat it here after looking at the waterfall and gazing at the GPS and in the direction of the hashpoint.

There was a cat with a litter of (grown up) kittens and a mongoose hanging around the rest stop.

After lunch, I headed onwards to the next hashpoint and the airport.

Need to be uploaded!

Can anyone explain precisely the difference between these two REG.EXE v3 functions?

Here are the HELP examples:

Saves the hive MyApp to the file in the current folder

REG EXPORT HKLMSoftwareMyCoMyApp AppBkUp.reg
Exports all subkeys and values of the key MyApp to the file AppBkUp.reg

The only difference I can see is that I wouldn't know what to do with a .HIV file...!

Oh, and another question:
Can the file produced by REG EXPORT be double-clicked on and thus processed as a REG file by REGEDIT.EXE?
Or is the fact that the file:
a) is in UNICODE format
[img]/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif[/img] doesn't contain the string REGEDIT4 at the start
mean that this wouldn't work?
I would normally reply to me: "Why don't you try it?", but messing willy-nilly with the registry is not a Good Thing...

6th Anniversary

Happy 6th anniversary, BWR! I'm not sure how blog years convert to human years, but given that the average blog survives about as long as a batch of potato salad in full sunlight, I remain proud of the endurance here.

For me, 2010 was the year of samples. It was the year when I all but disappeared from my local retail shops, with the requisite guilt and occasional, "Oh, so you think you can just walk back in here?" Most of what I wrote about in 2010 was based on samples, and while I didn't keep an exact count, I think around 200 bottles showed up at Casa de Benito during the calendar year. I know some of you get thousands of bottles a year, but this was a manageable amount with assistance from good friends and beautiful ladies. (Bachelor winebloggers seem to be a dying breed, but I can highly recommend the wine tasting party. Open a dozen bottles, everyone brings an appetizer, and you get to spread the love.)

I like the fact that samples provide me access to wines that aren't sold in my geographical region, as well as allowing me to try some great wines that I might have ignored in my own browsing. If public relations people are reading, I'd love to try more sparkling wines, rosés, and wines from emerging markets like Greece and Austria. I still love the classic reds, the standard regions, and every new bottle is an adventure in some way. I rarely say no to anything, but after getting 30 Sauvignon Blancs in a period of two weeks I'm a little burnt out on that grape.

Speaking of numbers... I used to count the total number of bottles I've tried, but that got out of hand a long time ago. But here's some stats of where I stand in my own curious self-education. I've tried wines representing:

- 164 unique grapes
- 28 countries
- 16 states in the US

In previous anniversary celebrations I've pointed out some new bloggers, or sites that are new to me, and there's no reason to stop that tradition. Between RSS, Facebook, and Twitter, there's about 100 winebloggers that I'm following, and here's a few that came to my attention in 2010:

Chicagoan Sam Klingberg dishes out wine advice at The Broke Wino. Sometimes irreverent, sometimes hilarious, I keep thinking this guy is part of the old Atlanta group of winebloggers. Many of those guys have scattered westward, so we must outsource such writing to the frosty shores of Lake Michigan.

Chicago is one of the only American cities with a recognizable and frequently used city flag. I'm using it here to highlight that I've really enjoyed adding flags to posts over the past couple of months. Also, there's no chance that I'll ever be reviewing a wine made within the city limits of the Windy City, so I might as well show it here.

Rafa Ibarra writes El mundo de Rafa Ibarra from Mexico, and while the site is in Spanish, there is a very effective Google Translate button on the right column. He covers the little-known but impressive world of Mexican wines as well as bottles from around the world. And if you comment on the site, his English is superb.

It was a pleasure this year getting to know the talented Jeremy Parzen of Do Bianchi. Aside from the man's impressive command of the Italian language, the wines of Italy, and music, he's a friendly and down to earth guy who has learned to enjoy the joys of life in Texas, like the Frito Pie.

Mark Walker is doing some great writing over at WineLife365. Check it out for the stylish design, stay for the giant photographs.

Also be sure to visit Kris Barber's The Wine Rogue, which I think is the youngest of the blogs listed here, debuting a year ago this month. Congrats on your first anniversary, and many happy returns!

Jo Diaz was an early adopter who snapped up wine-blog.org. I got to know her both through her website and her role in wine publicity. She's responsible for the fall flood of Petite Sirah and the recent batch of Portuguese wines. Jo provides an insider look at the marketing side of the wine industry, and has some great stories to tell.

For readers new and old, I'm listing some of my Favorite Posts on that permanent link in the upper left. If you like what I write here but don't want to dig through six years and 894 posts, that's a great shortcut to some of my better work. (Yes, I will reach the 1000 mark sometime this fall. No, I'm not going to do a ton of little posts to reach that goal. Pacing is key here.)

Finally, getting to hang out with Samantha Dugan and Michael Hughes earlier this year was a real treat, and I look forward to our next opportunity to pop some corks together.

Cheers, everyone! And here's to a great 2011!

Congrats on 6 years. Well done.

Many thanks, and I'll never forget you as one of my first supporters among the other winebloggers at the time. I was amazed that I was picking up readers in Australia when I was still unknown in my home town!

Jo Diaz said...

Congratulations, Benito! After five years on my own blog (thanks for the mention), I know what you've put into your, almost. And, that's in terms of time. I've crossed that 1,000 threshold what a great feeling that one is in terms of accomplishment.

You realize, don't you, we both could have written a couple of books by now ;^)

Congratulation on your 6th year, like we say in France "Maintenent tu as de la bouteille" which means
that you have matured.If ever you come to the south of France, let me know, I'm sure that we can have a great time poping a few corks and enjoy some wild tastings.
Keep up the great job. I'm looking foward to the next 6th.
Trés amicalement,
Calvisson, France

I hear ya... Though I needed to get through those first two awkward years before I really hit my stride. I've thought about a book from time to time, but haven't hit upon a great idea yet. Though next week I'll be reviewing Deb Harkness' new book... Stay tuned!

Merci, monsieur! Always glad to have a reader from France, and thanks for your interest in my writing.

Samantha Dugan said...

Congratulations kid. You were one of the first wine blogs I started reading and have been one of the sweetest, most helpful bloggers I have had the pleasure to meet. Not sure I have 6 years in me but this is an accomplishment worth striving for. Thanks for all the stories, pictures and vast information you provide us Ben and hanging with you and Michael was one of my personal high points of 2010....lets do it again!

Benito said...

6 years goes by pretty fast when you've got people reading, hang in there. :)

Samantha Dugan said...

People reading?! Oh crud, that's what I've been doing wrong....

I would like to add my congratulations on 6 years! Thank you for the now and again mention and for the enjoyable reading the past 6 years. Hopefully, before you hit 7, we will get together again!!
Good luck my friend

Big Mike

Benito said...

Thanks Mike, it's been a blast!

Mark said...

Congratulations Benito, and many thanks for the mention. I like my pictures how I like my wine! :)

If anyone ever asks my advice on naming a wine blog, it would be to avoid starting it with V or W. Nothing against those, but that part of the alphabet is pretty full. I'm sure somebody is going to try to beat 1WineDude with 000-AAA-WineReviews.com. ;)

Cheers! Six years is *beyond* impressive. Here's to the seventh bein the best eva! Hopefully we'll knock back a few this yera, too.

P.S. Thanx for the shout! I went to High School in GA, so I could serve as a legitimate satellite member.
