Red Rider Playoffs: 1984

Division III Regional Final:
Orrville 21 - Warren JFK 0

After one of the most successful regular seasons in school history, one that saw an undefeated 10-0 regular season, an AOL championship, a 3rd straight win over arch rival Wooster, and a defense that recorded five shutouts, and three other efforts where opponents were held to just 6 points, and an offense that scored 30 or more points an amazing 7 times, expectations could not have been higher.

The Riders continued their recent playoff success, and looked to take their first step back to Columbus, defeating Warren JFK 21-0 at Canton's Fawcett Stadium.

It was again the Riders dangerous combination of speed & talent, on both sides of the ball, that overwhelmed the Eagles.

Here is the article as it appeared in the Courier.

Scoring Summary

1st Quarter
Orr - Keith Amstutz 27 yd TD reception from Tom Bolyard (Extra Point good) 7-0

3rd Quarter
Orr - 84 yd Punt Return by James Bradley (Extra Point good) 14-0

4th Quarter
Orr - James Bradley 7 yd TD reception from Tom Bolyard (Extra Point good) 21-0

Stars of the Game

  • James Bradley - 2 TD's

  • Roger Davidoff - 2 INT's

  • Tom Bolyard - 2 TD passes

  • Red Rider Defense - 135 total yds allowed

    Divisional III State Semifinal:
    Elyria Catholic 14 - Orrville 13

    This picture sums it all up.

    For the 3rd straight year, the Red Riders were eliminated from the plaoyffs by a private school that would eventually be crowned State Champions.

    This time, the green & white Panthers of Elyria Catholic did the honors, ending the Riders season by a 14-13 score at Parma Byers Field. But unlike last year's drubbing at the hands of Columbus Bishop Ready, the Riders were there own worst enemy on this night, committing several costly turnovers and missing an extra point to tie the game and a 34 yd field goal that would have put the Riders ahead late in the 4th quarter.

    To look at the stats alone, most would agree that the Riders did enough to win the game. They outrushed & outpassed the Panthers, outgaining them 351-261 in total yards, but it was the 1 point difference in the score that mattered the most.

    Individually, Red Rider Keith Denson had a monster game, gaining over 200 yards, including an amazing 80 yard scamper for a touchdown to pull the Riders within 1 point. On the other side of the ball, EC All-Ohioan Al McKinney was held under 100 yds for the first time all season, but the Panthers' supporting cast took up the slack and wore down the Rider defense in the first half.

    In doing research for this, it was told to me that a Red Rider defenseman, Scott Zacharias was injured in a car accident in the week leading up to the game, and was not available to play. His replacement became a target for the EC offense and was run at early and often.

    Here is the article as it appeared in the Courier Crescent.

    Scoring Summary

    1st Quarter
    Orr - 19 yd rushing touchdown by Keith Denson (Extra Point good) 7-0
    EC - 2 yd rushing touchdown by Ron Traut (Extra Point good) 7-7

    2nd Quarter
    EC - 1 yd rushing touchdown by Gary Plas (Extra Point good) 14-7

    3rd Quarter
    Orr - 80 yd rushing touchdown by Keith Denson (Extra Point missed) 14-13

    Star of the Game

  • Keith Denson - 209 rushing yards, 2 TD's

  • Notes and Misc.
    1. This was an amazing collection of talent on the 84 team. The backfield alone of Denson (Tennessee), Bolyard (NE Oklahoma A&M/Indiana) and Leeder (Ohio U), quality receivers like Bradley (Michigan St), Auble and Davidoff....not to mention guys like Tom Moore (Ohio St) & Brad Booth. We've always been blessed with great skill position players, but the 84 team might have been the best of them all in terms of talent.

    2. Uni-Goodness. Take a look at this article, and pay close attention to the Elyria Catholic jersey. Notice how instead of the more modern name-on-back (NOB) that it's merely EC's "Panthers" nickname? Well....thanks to a tip from a Uni-conscious reader, I discovered that this was a trend sported by your own Red Riders as recently as the 1980 season. See here. Yep, that's a "Red Riders" on the back of those jerseys. Again, the sooner we can bring back that look, the better.

    3. The following week, Elyria Catholic beat Cincinnati McNicholas 45-20. If we played EC to within 1 point, I'm fairly confident that we'd have hoisted our first state title if we'd have earned the chance. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.

    4. The 1984 title marked the 2nd straight and 3rd overall title for Elyria Catholic, they won their first in 1976. The 1984 title was won under the direction of Fred Schmitz who took the reins from Jim Rattay who left the head coaching position after leading the Panthers to the 1983 title. I wonder how many schools have won back to back football titles while changing coaches in the process? Not many I'd imagine.

    5. Speaking of Jim Rattay, he is still coaching in Arizona, and was just hired at Laveen Cesar Chavez school in the Phoenix area. He has won 7 state titles in his career including the 2 he won while at the helm of Elyria Catholic. His son, Tim, played college football at Louisiana Tech and is now a pro QB for the Arizona Cardinals.

    6. The 1984 season began a stretch of regular season dominance for the Riders. From 1984 to 1988 (5 seasons) the Riders compiled an amazing regular season record of 48-2, losing only to Copley in 1985 and Wooster in 1986.

    If you have anything to add, a correction, or just more information, feel free to post it in the comments section or email it to me. Enjoy!!

LG G Flex2 Review – What a Great Cellphone

At the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, LG debuted its brand new version of its popular G Flex smartphone, which is being called the G Flex2. This device features a full 1080p HD screen measuring five and a half inches as well as a processor that has been shown to be much faster than its predecessor.

There has naturally been a great deal of skepticism and criticism regarding mobile devices that have curved screens; however, the LG G Flex2 is helping to put those issues to rest permanently. As opposed to the original G Flex model, the newer version is slightly smaller, yet draws the eye much more. Furthermore, the curved design of the LG G Flex2 is designed to help bring the microphone closer to the user’s mouth to allow for better sound pickup.

Many individuals who have used the LG G Flex2 have stated that it feel like the devices mirrors the shapes of their faces whenever they held the device up to their ears much more than a traditional smartphone would do.

The device also possesses a shiny plastic cover, though this is what takes away from the premium feel of the LG G Flex2. This plastic cover is extremely interesting in the fact that it is completely resistant to scratches, which means it stands virtually no chance whatsoever of getting damaged. Even if there are minor incidents with scratching, LG guarantees that the scratches will disappear within ten seconds if the device is somewhere at room temperature. Furthermore, the screen of the LG G Flex2 is also much more durable (by approximately 20%) than the screen of the original model. This is all thanks to the fact that LG has developed a form of chemical treatment technology that is used for the screen.

The processor of the LG G Flex2 is a more powerful Quallcomm Snapdragon 810, which contains octa-core capable 64-but CPU systems. This allows for extremely quick operation as well as the enabling of features such as “Glance View,” which is used to display some of the following items simply by swiping down on the screen:

*Missed calls

*Recent messages

*Current time

Another interesting feature of the LG G Flex2 is referred to as the “Glance Shot,” which enables the user to take a selfie simply by showing the palm of their hand to the front-facing camera then closing their fist. This is a feature that also works if the user decides to utilize one of the popular “selfie sticks.”

In terms of the camera itself, the LG G Flex2 contains the same type of laser-focus camera that is part of the original G Flex model. This technology involves measuring the exact distance between the subject and the camera itself, using a laser beam to make any necessary adjustments to settings involving lighting and colors.

The device can also benefit from a feature known as “Fast Charge,” which charges the 3,000mAh battery by up to 50% in just under 40 minutes.

LG has essentially taken the best features of the original G Flex model and put them into the G Flex2. The end result is an amazing device that is much more improved than its predecessor. This mobile device will be available at the end of this month in some countries, with others following suit shortly after

On Sept. 1, Zach Lamblez took on a new law enforcement role as the Lower Sioux Police Department chief.

Zach Lamblez has always been the kind of person looking for the next challenge in life.
From his time serving in the United States Marine Corps to his first role as a law enforcement officer, Lamblez took on the kinds of roles that would test his skills and abilities.
That was evident again Sept. 1 when Lamblez officially took on a new law enforcement role as the Lower Sioux Police Depart-ment chief.
“I am an enrolled member at White Earth,” said Lamblez, adding he sees the role of law enforcement on tribal land to be a great opportunity for him. “I don’t see it is a difficulty for me. In fact, I see the complete opposite. I prefer it.”
Lamblez began his law enforcement career in 1999, but by that time he had already gained some experience in the military, as he spent one-and-a-half years of his four year stint in the Marines as an MP.
While working with the military police program may not have been his first choice, Lamblez said he discovered it was something he enjoyed. He knew where he’d be working in the future.

So, after his honorable discharge from the Marines in 1995, Lamblez went back to his home area near Moorhead and ultimately earned an associate degree in law enforcement.
“I was hired in November 1999 by the White Earth Police Department,” Lamblez said, adding he served in various roles along the way from officer and housing investigator to a criminal investigator specializing in sexual assaults.
The White Earth reservation, said Lam-blez, covers parts of three different counties and hundreds of miles.
In his new role at Lower Sioux the coverage area is much less, but Lamblez said the issues for a police department are similar.
“Being able to work here with the Lower Sioux Police Department allows me to keep working with the people I love,” said Lamblez. “To work in Indian Country is where I think I can do my best work.”
As LSPD chief, Lamblez is in his first administrative role, and he knows that means not only taking on the typical law enforcement roles, but it also means taking on the big picture issues, learning how to work with the community and helping create a crime prevention environment.
Lamblez said his role with the LSPD is going well so far, and he is looking forward to meeting more people in the community.
In addition to Lam-blez, Shane Auginaush has come on board as an officer at LSPD.
The White Earth enrolled member is also a Marine Corps veteran and opted to attend the BIA police academy in New Mexico. He began working as a game warden at White Earth before becoming a licensed police officer for White Earth.
He spent 10 years working his way up to patrol sergeant, and is now serving as lieutenant for the Lower Sioux department.
Auginaush also works as an adjunct faculty member for Fox Valley Technical College in Wisconsin.
Auginaush said he is excited for the new role as a member of the police department for the Lower Sioux Indian Community.
A third new officer, Jason Deterling, who is a New Ulm native, has also joined the department. This is his first role as a police officer.
There are five full-time officers, several part time officers and a canine officer that make up the LSPD.

Condogenate Those Strings | 05/29/09

Around 5am Chris and I left for Manchester and his flight to San Diego. I got home around 6:30am after getting slightly lost and then slept until 9:30. I don't teach on Fridays (life is rough in Life Part II) so I cleaned up my room, made some revisions to Monday and Tuesday's plans and then work-worked for the rest of the day. Around 7:30pm I drove up to Nashua to buy myself a "summer" coat since there are only three or four days left before winter starts here. Fortunately people are tough up here and coats were on super-sale. I got it from the Gap for $16 (originally $88). I also got some Mall Chick-Fil-A for dinner.

I had heard rumors how dicey downtown was at night so I figured "Hey, let's go explore it alone". I made it out both alive and without incident. Like New Orleans, the blocks change quickly so on one block you have a patio full of Lowell Yuppies (Luppies) and on the next a Cambodian crack head. For the record I saw neither a luppie nor a Crackbodian.

I slept with Oreo quite literally on top of me the entire night. That dog loves being all up on you. She is indeed the Anti-Chompy.

T-Chris (Unknown)

My God Oreo is cute. I know she's my dog, but still. Too. Cute.

Mike (Unknown)

I know it. Putting your head on whatever is around...I mean that's just retarded.

Mikey Ray (Unknown)

Alexadex Cheating | 06/19/06

I am so pissed with Alexadex. It's been down, essentially, for over a week. And while in that time I made $5m everyone around me made about $40m-$80m. I got absolutely killed on stocks that I couldn't log in to sell in time and now I'm in serious danger of falling out of the top ten. Adding insult to injury yesterday was the guy who is now in 7th totally cheated. I've railed against people calling others cheaters so I guess I'm a hypocrite but still. If you trade during the updates you're the worst kind of scum. If I find him I'll totally beat his foreign ass.

Cynthia Shaffer…..So You’ve Moved…..

Something For Sunday:

After living in California for 21 years my husband and I finally made The Great Escape to Texas. Yes, California is beautiful. Yes, you can’t beat the weather. And yes, good wine flows abundantly! In fact, wine is the only commodity that is less expensive in California than anywhere else I’ve visited. I thank my Lord for that affordable wine because that place had driven me to drink and cuss. That wine kept me sane all those years, that and my friends. They were family since neither my husband, nor I had family there.

Texas Homes pic 1

Nonetheless, even the good of our California life could not keep us there. We finally had an opportunity to flee oppression and live in freedom. Please keep that statement in the context of living in the United States of America where having to go to another room to grab a charger for your iPhone is oppressive (#firstworldproblems). Freedom it is a euphemism for: We’re more likely to be left alone in Texas than in California. I didn’t know that was important to me until I moved to California.

I moved to California for a job. I moved there not knowing a soul. My name was Cynthia Sims. Along the way I meet Wade Shaffer, a native Texan, and I realize he is the first person to take an interest in me and who challenges me to think. He asks me questions that in hindsight are no big deal, but at that time, they were very uncomfortable for me. He wears glasses and used to have braces. Which makes me think he carried a lot of books in school. My rudimentary checklist. We marry and I take his name. My name is now Cynthia Shaffer.  We have two children who are native Californians and Texas transplants. God blessed us with a wonderful life in California. We look forward to His continued blessings in the great state of Texas.

For this native military brat, it’s good to be home.

Adventures in CGA lockstep

As part of my project to emulate an IBM PC or XT with cycle accuracy, I need to be able to get the machine into a completely known and consistent state, which I call lockstep. That way I can run a program many times and be sure of getting exactly the same result each time.

This is a bit tricky, because while all the PC's clocks are derived from a single 14.318MHz crystal, they divide it in different ways. The CPU clock is made by dividing this frequency by 3, the PIT clock is made by dividing it by 4 and the CGA clock is made by dividing it by 16.

Getting the CPU clock in lockstep with the CGA clock is the difficult bit, since the CGA clock is in lockstep with the PIT clock by definition (assuming that such a lockstep is possible - I'm not sure offhand if the phase relationship between the PIT and the CGA clock is always the same or if it's randomized on startup - the latter would make it more complicated to use the PIT in lockstep mode, but that's not really a big problem since the point of lockstep mode is to be able to do timing statically).

Since the CGA clock and the CPU clock have periods which are relatively prime numbers of hdots, it's definitely possible to get them into lockstep. Once I had a rough idea of what the CGA wait states were, I realized that achieving lockstep ought to be possible with a combination of delays and CGA accesses. The algorithm would be:

  1. Do a CGA memory access, reducing the number of possible relative phases from 16 to 3.
  2. Delay for A ccycles.
  3. Do a CGA memory access, reducing the number of possible relative phases from 3 to 2.
  4. Delay for B ccycles.
  5. Do a CGA memory access, reducing the number of possible relative phases from 2 to 1.

Delaying for 16 ccycles gives the same relative phases as delaying for 0 ccycles, so the problem boils down to finding A mod 16 and B mod 16. That's only 256 possibilities (and probably quite a few of those will work) so trial and error works fine. Delaying for particular numbers of cycles is okay too - the 8-bit MUL instruction takes 69 ccycles plus 1 ccycle for each set bit in AL, so as long as you don't mind waiting for 69 ccycles you can get a delay of any number of ccycles you like.

But there's a more fundamental problem - how do we recognize when we've succeeded? The definition of lockstep involves consistency - ending up in a known end state no matter what the initial state. So in order to determine whether we're in lockstep or not, we really need to be able to control the initial state - in other words, in order to figure out whether we're in lockstep or not we first need to be in lockstep! That's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem.

If I knew exactly what the CGA wait states were at this stage I could have figured out the right A and B values on purely theoretical principles, but I didn't - my examinations of the CGA schematics left some questions (particularly in areas involving how the 8088 treats READY signals occuring at different clock phases, and how some apparent race conditions actually turn out in real hardware). It was only in the course of achieving lockstep that I discovered what the CGA wait states actually are.

I had a few false starts involving identifying the 6 behavior classes for the 27 possible transition tables involved in the long-term behaviors of repeated sections of code. For example, if a piece of repeated code has 3 possible long-term behaviors depending on the relative phase at the start, I know that the repeated section must leave the relative phase alone.

But that was getting rather complicated, and I wasn't really getting anywhere until I hit on a better way - I realized that I could visualize exactly how long a piece of code was taking by running it and then changing the CGA palette register, which has an immediate effect, so marks the position on the screen where the electron beam was pointing when the register changed.

That's only useful if the transition happens in exactly the same place on the screen in each frame (otherwise you don't get a stable image and can't see what's going on). Which sounds like we're back to the chicken-and-egg problem again. But it's a more limited kind of lockstep that we need for this particular experiment - we don't need absolute lockstep, just a way of getting code to run at a consistent place relative to the raster beam, from frame to frame. That is to say, it doesn't matter if next time we run the program the image appears in a different place on the screen.

Fortunately, there's a way to do this on the PC even if we don't have full lockstep, since we can use the PIT to introduce a lockstep that's just consistent from frame-to-frame, not from run-to-run. If we set a timer to go off exactly 262*912/12 = 19912 PIT cycles, it'll occur exactly once every frame. That's not quite enough though, because interrupts don't quite have an instantaneous effect on the CPU - the CPU does finish whatever instruction it's currently executing before starting an interrupt. So you have to make sure it's not executing any instructions - i.e. is in the halt state. Another complication is that I had to disable all other interrupts and the DRAM refresh in order to avoid them messing up the timings, which meant that I had to access each DRAM row within a certain period of time lest the capacitors discharge and the memory contents decay, which meant that I couldn't leave the CPU halted for too long!

Once I had a stable image I was able to generate the 16 different CGA/CPU relative phases with multiply instructions, and made a diagonal line that advanced 3 hdots (1 ccycle) on each line just by cycle counting. Then by placing CGA memory accesses between this diagonal line and the palette write I was able to see exactly what the CGA wait states were:

It look a while to get this image because whenever I added some code to a line I had to change the delay code at the end of the line to get the start of the next line to line up correctly, so there was a fair amount of trial and error involved.

In this image, every other scanline displays (just using normal 640-pixel graphics mode) a pattern that repeats every 16 pixels, so that I can see where the lchar boundaries are.

Once I had the CGA wait states, getting CGA/CPU lockstep was relatively easy. Here's a photo I took when I finally got it:

Note that of the lower 16 black horizontal lines, they all end at the same position mod 48 hdots (you'll have to take my word that before the lockstep code they were at 16 different relative phases, like the lines further up which make a diagonal pattern).

Phew, that's a lot of complications for such a tiny piece of code!

Tomorrow we'll look at how to get the CRTC in lockstep as well.

<![CDATA[Red Sox pitcher Matt Barnes suspended four games for buzzing Manny Machado]]> Red Sox pitcher Matt Barnes has been suspended four games and fined for throwing a fastball past the head of Baltimore star Manny Machado.

The commissioner's office issued the penalty Monday. The Red Sox are off and Barnes is appealing, meaning the reliever can continue to pitch until the process is done.

A tempestuous three-game series between these AL East foes wound up with Orioles star Manny Machado seeing a fastball sail behind his head and Matt Barnes getting ejected for throwing it Sunday in Boston's 6-2 victory.

Therapist dies in collision on Stann Creek Valley road

By Michelle Sutherland
Staff Reporter

A therapist of Belize City lost her life after she was flung about ten feet away from a vehicle she was traveling in, after it was involved in a collision at mile 9 on the Stann Creek Valley Road on Thursday afternoon.

When police responded to the scene at around 1:40 p.m., officers observed a white pickup truck overturned in a ditch and saw 33-year-old Rubia Analicia Bricenio lying near the vehicle. She had sustained severe body injuries.
Briceno was traveling along with 31-year-old Leon Peters in a Bowman Ltd. company vehicle. Upon reaching in front of the Citrus Growers Association, Peters alleges that he overtook a goods truck, which was parked at the side of the highway at the entrance of the compound. The collision occurred when another vehicle exitted the compound at the same time and crashed into the Bowman company vehicle.

The driver of the other vehicle has been identified as 57-year-old Belizean agronomist, Luis Tzul.
Police say their investigations continue, while police have issued a Notice of Intended Prosecution to both drivers.
Briceno was rushed to the Southern Regional Hospital via ambulance for treatment but succumbed to her injuries at 2:15 p.m.

Does incubation enhance problem solving? A meta-analytic review.

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal article

Journal publication date01/2009
JournalPsychological Bulletin
Issue number1
Number of pages27
Pages (from-to)94-120
Original languageEnglish

A meta-analytic review of empirical studies that have investigated incubation effects on problem solving is reported. Although some researchers have reported increased solution rates after an incubation period (i.e., a period of time in which a problem is set aside prior to further attempts to solve), others have failed to find effects. The analysis examined the contributions of moderators such as problem type, presence of solution-relevant or misleading cues, and lengths of preparation and incubation periods to incubation effect sizes. The authors identified a positive incubation effect, with divergent thinking tasks benefiting more than linguistic and visual insight tasks from incubation. Longer preparation periods gave a greater incubation effect, whereas filling an incubation period with high cognitive demand tasks gave a smaller incubation effect. Surprisingly, low cognitive demand tasks yielded a stronger incubation effect than did rest during an incubation period when solving linguistic insight problems. The existence of multiple types of incubation effect provides evidence for differential invocation of knowledge-based vs. strategic solution processes across different classes of problem, and it suggests that the conditions under which incubation can be used as a practical technique for enhancing problem solving must be designed with care.

National Restaurant Association - A booming business: Baby boomers can boost your bottom line

Skip to navigation Skip to content

A booming business: Baby boomers can boost your bottom line

In today’s tight economy, baby boomers are providing a boost to U.S. restaurants.

America’s 76 million boomers, born 1946-64, were responsible for 23 billion restaurant visits in 2012, accounting for $172 billion in sales, according to market research company the NPD Group. By sheer number, boomers have always played an important role in the economy. But in 2012, consumers in the 48-64 age bracket also spent more per capita than their younger counterparts, according to a recent NPD study.

Predominantly empty-nesters with disposable income, baby boomers have the means and the freedom to dine out. “Yet, this is a group of people who feel neglected,” says Bonnie Riggs, the NPD industry analyst who authored the report. “Restaurant operators have not paid enough attention to their wants and needs.” Here are some ways to reach out to this large and pivotal group.

Create a comfort zone

Keep the decibels down. Help boomers enjoy their dinner conversation by turning the background music down a notch and using design elements and materials like carpeting that reduce ambient noise.

Shine some light on the situation. Use appropriate lighting so that aging boomers can easily read the menu and enjoy their meals, says Matt Thornhill, founder of the Boomer Project, a research and consulting agency based in Richmond, Va., that focuses on baby boomers. “It doesn’t need to be bright lighting; install task lighting,” says Thornhill, who co-authored Boomer Consumer: Ten New Rules for Marketing to America’s Largest, Wealthiest and Most Influential Group.

Improve menu readability. Make sure that the fonts and color combinations allow for easy reading, says Thornhill.

Pull up a comfy chair. In the NPD survey, boomers noted that they look for comfortable restaurant seating, along with better lighting and less noise.

Give service with a smile. “Boomers really want the people serving them to be polite and friendly,” says Riggs.

Make it fun. Explore ways to make dining out entertaining, whether it be an open kitchen or a chef’s table. “This generation is used to going out to dinner as entertainment,” says Thornhill. “They see themselves a hip, cool and relevant.” Riggs adds “boomers want to stay active and be forever young.”

Strive for a balance. While boomers are an important segment, don’t overlook the younger crowd. “They’ll come in later and spend more at the bar,” says Thornhill. “Don’t shoot yourself in the right foot or the left foot.”

Put options on the menu

Offer smaller portions. “As people get older, the reality is they need less food,” says Thornhill. Boomers report they’re eating more, but smaller, restaurant meals, according to NPD.

Highlight heart-healthy options. Health-conscious boomers seek low-fat, well- balanced meals, says Riggs. Highlight freshly prepared foods with healthy cooking styles, like broiling and grilling.

Provide opportunities to indulge. While boomers report that they want healthy options, many of them also use restaurant visits to indulge, says Riggs, noting that burgers and fries are among their favorites at quickservice restaurants.

Provide promotional offers

Create frequent-diner programs. “Boomers want to be rewarded for their loyalty,” says Riggs. For example, Panera Bread introduced a loyalty program with a twist a couple years ago. The MyPanera program rewards members with surprises like invitations to special events, previews and tastings, and complimentary or discounted bakery-cafe menu items.

Give them a deal. Boomers are looking for coupons and discounts, says Riggs. Daily specials and combo-meals are also attractive to this group.

Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures

Mighty Mouse '87

I loved Mighty Mouse when I was younger, and would recite his “Here I Come To Save The Daaaaaayyy..!” catchphrase often, much to the annoyance of those around me. My love of the character is based on re-runs of the original theatrical films which I would watch on a Saturday afternoon, and I’ve never known anything different for the miniature super hero.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the show was resurrected, not once but twice and I’ve never watched either incarnation. Between 1979 and 1981, Filmation produced 48 episodes of The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle & Jeckle. If this episode, entitled Catula, is anything to go by, the show stuck to the expected formula:

The 1987 version of the show, from animator Ralph Bakshi, was an entirely different beast. Much more off-beat than previous efforts and all the better for it. I love the origin story in the second half, aping Superman’s origin perfectly.

Sadly, this later update lasted only 18 episodes though a 10-issue comic series did follow in 1990 to continue the story.

rallenUSA's review of Jacquie Lawson

“Cards but not calendar”

Written on: 24/12/2013 by rallenUSA (1 review written)

For the past three years, I've been a HUGE fan of J. Lawson cards. I've regularly previewed every one,
sent cards to friends, family, acquaintances. Best cards on the Internet. A good number of those seeing
them signed up, too.

However, after my wife and I and others really loved the previous two Advent Calendars, and gave them to friends and family, this year's is a really terrible disappointment.

First, because of downloading problems, it took me two hours to finally--on my own--figure out how to install the calendar on my computer. In the meantime, I was led down a path which caused me to pay for my own computer's calendar, because the free one that goes with my account didn't open right.

I asked for help, but only cursory help came in the form of a list of suggestions. When I asked again, someone finally responded but the help offered didn't do the trick (by that time, I'd figured out how to work it).

As a result, we didn't gift others with the calendar this year, not wanting to muck up their computers. I should say, however, that the calendar I sent my wife's computer did open ok.

Our main complaint now is that this years 2013 calendar is vastly inferior to the wonderful ones in the several past years. It's dull, static. It features rich folk doing rich things, mainly--perhaps appealing to you Brits (I'm from British ancestry), but we Americans would like maybe some more ordinary people in our Christmas reminders. Overall, this year's Advent Calendar (what, dress dolls?) lacks wonder, imagination, spiritualness, mystery--things so important in the Christmas season.

We'll keep on with the cards. We'll try the Advent Calendar again next year. We'll hope, just like Obamacare, that you people really goofed this year and will use your customers (like Republicans should have been used) to
create a 2014 calendar that really delights and inspires.

All good wishes and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

R.S. Allen, USA

I was sceptical due to bad publicity but I had a great experience and when I messed up my bank account number it was rectified fast and payment was made 2 days later. So no hassle and good company for what I can see. Got full payment also. Will use again best regards Leigh.

  • RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service

BISHKEK -- Three defendants in a high-profile jailbreak in Kyrgyzstan have been sentenced to life in prison.

A court in Bishkek also ruled on June 29 that some property of the three convicts must be seized.

Two more defendants, a man and a woman, were found guilty of providing the jailbreakers with shelter and received four years in jail and a suspended four-year sentence with parole limitations, respectively.

In October, nine convicts, the majority of whom were sentenced on religious-extremism charges, escaped a detention center on the outskirts of Bishkek, killing four prison guards.

Six of the escapees were recaptured shortly afterward, while three were killed in a shoot-out.

Officials said later that two of the recaptured convicts died of heart attacks and another of a brain hemorrhage while in custody. Those accounts of their deaths were viewed with great suspicion.

Mironov Plays Musical Chairs

Sergei Mironov addressing the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly on May 18.

Sergei Mironov lost his job as speaker of the Federation Council today when the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly voted 42-5 to remove him as one of the city's representatives to the upper chamber.

His sacking was sparked by a series of critical public comments he made about the ruling United Russia party. He also drew fire for saying that his party, A Just Russia, would not support Putin's return to the presidency in 2012 if he is nominated by United Russia.

So this means that Mironov is finished and will just fade away into the political wilderness, right? Well, not exactly.

After the vote, Mironov said he would take a seat in the State Duma, which he is entitled to do because he led the party list of A Just Russia in the December 2007 parliamentary elections:

I will assume the mandate of State Duma lawmaker -- I have a legal right to do so -- and in the near future I will speak from the State Duma rostrum. So, gentlemen of the United Russia party, you are celebrating too early that you have deprived me of a podium.

The Mironov case is one of the stranger twists in what is shaping up to be another lively election season.

A longtime loyal ally of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Mironov held his speakership for the past 10 years. He founded A Just Russia in 2007 with the Putin's blessing as a pro-Kremlin center-left party, a move widely seen as part of a strategy to co-opt discontent on the left and establish an obedient domesticated opposition.

But in then, he started acting -- and the operative word here is "acting" -- sort of like an actual opposition figure. In October 2009, A Just Russia joined the Communists and Vladimir Zhirinovsky's Liberal Democrats, two other "opposition" parties tolerated by the Kremlin, in a walkout from the State Duma to protest falsification in local elections that month (in which United Russia won an overwhelming majority of seats).

Throughout 2010 and into this year, MIronov became increasingly critical of United Russia. He even criticized the government's 2010 budget, sparking the first calls for him to step down.

Mironov says he and his party are gearing up for the December 2011 State Duma elections.

"If somebody assumed that I am leaving the [A Just Russia] party - they are wrong - it is a simple reshuffling of forces ahead of the decisive battle that we are facing in December," he said in remarks reported by RIA-Novosti.

In his press conference today, Medvedev curiously interrupted the proceedings to announce Mironov's sacking (which he reportedly read on his iPad). Asked later by journalists to comment, Medvedev said it would benefit both United Russia and A Just Russia.

"Many countries take decades to develop their parliaments and this is what we are doing," Medvedev said.

The remark appears curious devoid of context. But in context, it makes perfect sense.

Back in 2009, Mironov supported a plan, floated by Deputy Kremlin Chief of Staff Vladislav Surkov and hotly opposed by United Russia, to establish a tightly controlled multi-party system similar to the ones that existed in some Soviet satellites like Communist-era Czechoslovakia and East Germany.

State Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov, a leading member of United Russia, vocally fought the idea -- which would reduce the party's clout -- and it seemed to lose traction.

But given the events of the past week or so, it might just be poised to make a comeback.

Billionaire oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov's decision to head up the Kremlin-friendly center-right "opposition" party Right Cause could -- possibly -- turn them into a player and get them into the next Duma.

Mironov's expulsion could -- conceivably -- boost his stature as an outsider fighting the system (as contrived as that is) among disaffected voters on the left. This would boost A Just Russia's chances to make it back into the Duma in December without the taint of being a Kremlin lackey.

If both A Just Russia and Right Cause make it into parliament they will provide a convenient left and right flank to a still-dominant United Russia (with the Communists and the Liberal Democrats occupying the left and right extremes). And then -- voila! -- Surkov's tightly controlled fake multiparty system is a reality.

And then everybody joins Putin's new All-Russian National Front and lives happily ever after!

Twickenham racer Simon Low is putting it all on the line in his bid to the biking big time.

The 27-year-old is piling up the debts in the less glamourous surroundings of the North Gloucester Club Championship – in which he currently leads the mini-twin class standings on a Suzuki SV650 machine.

Low, who rides for Black & Blue Racing, put a string of pitfalls behind him to collect second and first place finishes in rounds four and five of the championship series at Cadwell Park this weekend.

A lack of cash curtailed his last stab at the British Superbike 125cc championship in 2012, but he is hoping a string of impressive results at a lower level can give him the platform to return to where he belongs.

“I know I have got the ability to get up there again,” said Low, who is hoping to tie up a new sponsorship deal with Whitton-based Gear 4 Gears Ltd.

“When I was last in Superbikes I got some half decent results it is just a case of finding the money to sustain it. I want to be back there next year and that is the plan.

“I am so in debt now it is unreal. I’m putting everything I have into it to get back to where I want to be, but it is not easy.

“We might be at a lower level, but winning is still winning, whichever way you look at it.

“I’ve managed to bring my lap times and if I can win on a small machine I can win on the bigger set-ups. It is all the same to me.”

Instinct Adaptive Shock Absorber Technology

RideTech Instinct Shock Absorbers electronically adjust from luxury-car comfortable to super-car aggressive in mere milliseconds. Instinct adaptive technology is easy to install and includes a custom calibration which can be fine-tuned by laptop to suit your specific vehicle dynamics and driving style. In most instances, however, Instinct will adapt instinctively to vehicle dynamics in real time such that calibration revisions may be unnecessary.

Street and Track At The Push of a Button

11-time SCCA Solo II National Champion Mary Pozzi runs RideTech Instinct Shocks on her 1972 Chevrolet Camaro. The car, equipped with Art Morrison suspension, has logged thousands of track and street miles. At their very first Instinct-equipped competition, Mary and her Camaro finished on the podium in 3rd place.  On the street, Instinct provides a modern, controlled ride quality that exceeds passive, mechanical dampers. Mary thoroughly enjoys driving her Camaro on the street and on long road trips.

Senses Every Road Imperfection As Well As Cornering Forces

How does this system react instinctively? The brains of RideTech’s Instinct system is a fast-processing ECM that analyzes and adjusts dampening forces based on real-time inputs from a 3-way g-load sensor as well as brake pressure, vehicle speed, and throttle position sensors. All four shocks work in concert and adjust in milliseconds to keep your car sure-footed in all driving scenarios.

The Complete Instinct System Includes:

  • Four Electronic RideTech coil-over shock absorbers with remote reservoirs
  • DSC Sport Electronic Control Module
  • Sensors: including 3-way g-load sensor, TPS, Brake Pressure, VSS
  • Wiring harness and sub-harnesses
  • Comfort/Performance mode select switch
  • RideTech custom Instinct calibration
  • Tuning software and technical support
ORDERING:  Please call to set an appointment for consultation. Be prepared to provide specific vehicle details such as corner weight, shock installed height, tire selection, suspension details, and intended usage. Pricing: From $10,500

Chris Smith: 419-448-8080 (OH)  smitty@ridetech.com

Bret Voelkel: 812-481-4787 (IN)  bret@ridetech.com

NOTE: While the Instinct System is adaptive in real time, it cannot compensate for poor suspension design (e.g. improper spring rates, geometry, alignment settings). As RideTech employs an engineered approach with each Instinct System setup, the aforementioned vehicle details, along with a consultation, are mandatory prior to purchase. Trackside support can be arranged.

Tuesday, March 7, 2017

The math isn't complicated. If the federal government doesn't reform entitlements soon, the country will face a debt crisis. There is no disputing this. It's inevitable. The only unknown is timing. And the stubborn determination of some leaders in both political parties to ignore runaway entitlement growth—the most urgent domestic challenge facing the United States—means the crisis will come sooner rather than later.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, in 2008 federal debt was 39 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). In the summer of 2016, it was 75 percent of GDP. Without changes, it's projected to be 86 percent of GDP in 2026, and 20 years after that, in 2046, it will be 141 percent of GDP—an all-time high. That is a disastrous trajectory with potentially devastating consequences. In the anodyne jargon of the CBO: "The prospect of such a large debt poses substantial risks for the nation and presents policymakers with significant challenges."
The Heritage Foundation frames the issue in a slightly more colorful way:
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are so large and growing that they are on track to overwhelm the federal budget. These major entitlement programs, together with interest on the debt, are driving 85 percent of the projected growth in government spending over the next decade. The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, further adds to the problem, increasing entitlement spending by nearly $2 trillion in just 10 years. The long-term unfunded obligations in the nation's major entitlement programs loom like an even darker cloud over the U.S. economy. Demographic and economic factors will combine to drive spending in Medicare, Medicaid (including Obamacare), and Social Security to unsustainable heights. The major entitlements and interest on the debt are on track to devour all tax revenues in fewer than 20 years.
Twenty years. We will be there before a child born this week can legally have his first beer. ...

Happy Fathers' Day

Sunday, June 17, 2007

It could easily be said that there has never been a year that my father has deserved a fitting tribute than this one. I had been thinking of a list of all the wonderful reasons I am proud to be my father's son, but I've been WAY too busy to write the post.

So today I'll be enjoying my Fathers' Day with my daughters, and hopefully getting to see the man of the hour later, maybe after dinner.

Happy Fathers' Day to all you other dads out there!

P.S. - BIG post coming up early this week. Watch for it!

escaping the rain..

There seemingly is no escaping the rain in the Bay Area these days. But spending my time indoors preparing my dissertation prospectus and working on copyright law reform is warming in its own way.

I am thinking ahead to several trips that will likeley be much less rainy..

1) a trip to Los Angeles Feb 28-Mar 2nd.. Anyone in SoCal want to hook me and Kid Kameleon up with a gig or two?

2) Montreal in July! Also looking for gigs there at least around May 29 - June 1, and maybe for a few days on either side of that

3) next fall I am hoping to spend 7 months in Jamaica doing research on creative practices in music (especially observing recording studio sessions), any contacts, hints and suggestions welcome on that one. (actually given last summer's hurricane experience not sure JA will be less rainy, just more concentrated rain)

Rappin’ Reviews

So, roughly four years ago, as an experiment, I posted a freestyle rapped boardgame review* of the game Belfort. For whatever reason, I never did a second one until a few weeks ago, but I have now added reviews of the boardgames Twilight Struggle and Flea Market. I am definitely still in the learning process of how to freestyle reviews, and thanks to a 4-year hiatus I learned nothing from my first review because I forgot everything. From my second review, I learned that the background music needs to be much softer compared to my vocals, so everything I say is easy to hear. From my third review, I learned that these videos may be too long, and consequently my next (fourth) review will probably skip the rules summary entirely and just be a review. And hopefully I can start to make these into something that people (like you!) will want to watch.

My poetry and comedy performances continue, as I’ve been hitting the monthly WordXWord poetry events in the lead-up to the August festival, as well as continuing to host my 4th Thursday Comedy Open Mic at the Parlor Cafe. I’ve been thrilled at the wonderful comedians who have been coming, including in some cases the hosts of the comedy open mics in Albany and Northhampton. It makes me feel like my tiny town of North Adams matters, and not just because we were in the news recently for drunken bear-chasing antics.

I could mention that we continue eating all sorts of delectable homemade food ranging from shrimp egg rolls to lomo saltado, but that seems like it’s not good manners. I don’t really have a clever way to end this post, but hopefully I’ll think of one later.

*  I have been told that my projects seem to pick bizarre target demographics which are the center of a Venn Diagram most people have never considered. But I think rhyming and gaming absolutely should go together — that’s why I’d designed that rapping card game a few years back. It’s also why last time I played an auction game, I offered free poetry along with the spices to whoever won the auction. Debbie responded that she would pay more if the winning lot did not include my poetry.

Benefits of Maintaining a Healthy Weight

healthy-weightWhen it comes to weight loss, there’s no lack of fad diets promising fast results. But such diets limit your nutritional intake, can be unhealthy, and tend to fail in the long run.

The key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t about short-term dietary changes. It’s about a lifestyle that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, and balancing the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses.

Staying in control of your weight contributes to good health now and as you age.

St. Louis Stage Capsules

Dennis Brown and Paul Friswold suss out the St. Louis theater scene

Ragtime How gratifying to be exposed to an American musical that is so unrelentingly audacious. Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Houdini and Booker T. Washington are just a few of the celebrated characters who thread their way through this entertaining survey course of pre-World War I America. This musical adaptation of the 1975 novel by E.L. Doctorow about the intrusion of immigrants and blacks upon the complacency of white America at the turn of the twentieth century is too ambitious for most theaters to even attempt. But this combined effort between the Washington University Performing Arts Department and the Black Rep, an alchemy of amateur and professional, makes for potent and thrilling theater. Through November 1 at Washington University's Edison Theatre, 6445 Forsyth Boulevard (in the Mallinckrodt Student Center), University City. Tickets are $20 ($10 for students and seniors).

Sleuth Anthony Shaffer's mystery manhandles the concept of "fair play" in the framework of England's ongoing class war. Andrew Wyke (Munson Hicks) is a wealthy writer of plummy mysteries that celebrate a bygone England. He invites his wife's lover, self-employed travel agent Milo Tindle (Michael Gabriel Goodfriend), to his manor to bring him in on a scheme that will make both men happy — and that's all the plot that can be safely revealed without spoiling Shaffer's twists. Hicks slathers brash and phony bonhomie on Wyke, but playing the role for laughs robs it of menace. Shaffer's script requires that Milo be both gullible and cunning; it's a combination that defies reason but Goodfriend mostly pulls it off. Sleuth is at times frustrating in the forceful manner in which it drags its audience through leaps of logic from point A to point D. Still, that second act is fraught with peril, thanks to director Michael Evan Haney's use of the infrequent pause to build tension. Presented by the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis through November 8 at the the Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road, Webster Groves. Tickets are $18 to $68 (rush seats available for students and seniors, $10 and $15 respectively, 30 minutes before showtime). Call 314-968-4925 or visit
