Papa John's Founder Resigns After Using Racial Slur, Gains $50 Million
July 13, 2018 / Denise Toledo
Papa John's pizza continues to flounder after it was reported that the company's Founder and Chairman John Schnatter had used the N-word in a conference call aimed at preparing Schnatter to take on a more public view. According to Forbes, the company was planning to re-introduce Schnatter as a large part of the Papa John's marketing campaign after he had stepped back because of his controversial NFL comments. Schnatter stepped down as CEO late last year in response to backlash caused by his remarks blaming the NFL protests for a slow in Papa Johns' business.

NFL Inks New Official Sponsorship Deal Hours After Cutting Ties with Papa John's
February 28, 2018 / Denise Toledo
On Wednesday, Pizza Hut announced it had signed a multi-year agreement to serve as the NFL's new official pizza sponsor. The announcement comes one day after Papa John's announced it had ended it's NFL sponsorship deal according to "Business Insider."
Papa John's new CEO Steve Ritchie, who took over for founder John Schnatter in December, told investors Tuesday that Papa John's would be shifting its marketing from the NFL as a whole to focus on specific teams and players.
Papa John's and the NFL said in a statement that they made a "mutual decision" to end the pizza chain's official league sponsorship deal, bringing an end to Papa John's 8-year run as the official pizza of the NFL.
Back in November, then-CEO Schnatter blamed the National Football League's leadership for hurting the company's performance because it had not resolved the ongoing controversy over players kneeling in protest during the National Anthem.
With the end of the NFL deal, Papa John's is "redirecting investments" towards new technology, as 60% of the chain's sales are made through digital channels.
Ritchie said that the chain has been "perceived to be too expensive" and will double down on value going forward. Papa John's is additionally planning to expand its menu, according to executives.
After the announcement, shares of Papa Johns shed as much as 8 percent in aftermarket trading, says "CNBC."

Will Pizza Survive The Delivery Boom?
November 20, 2017 / Nathan Mikita
Will they? In short, yes. Pizza is not going anywhere. It is still one of America's favorite foods for get-togethers, events, movie night, or cheap food on the fly. But, like many other sectors in the foodservice arena, we see a shift. Foodable Labs tracks over six million influencers and over 100 pizza chains. Our data shows that pizza delivery over the last year is down, 12.8 percent to be exact, among 18 to 34-year-olds. What is causing the slip? Watch the video for more!

How Houston Restaurants are Giving Back to the Local Community Post-Hurricane Harvey
September 07, 2017 / Kerri Adams
Hurricane season is upon us and as another beast of a storm comes tumbling our way, Texas is still recovering from Hurricane Harvey.
People's houses, businesses, and even lives has been destroyed in a matter of days.
But out of the bad comes the good. In these times of hardship, we really see America's charitable spirit. Millions have been donated and there have been so many volunteers after the storm that they are being turned away.
JJ Watt's Hurricane Harvey relief fund has raised over $20 million.
But celebrities and super star athletes aren't the only ones donating and offering a helping hand to those impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Big food businesses and local restaurants are doing their part to help Harvey's victims.
Kellogg Company has donated $100,000 to Feeding America and other relief organizations in the Gulf area. The cereal company has also donated over a million servings of its products and snacks to the Houston food bank.

Q: ACF meta key field displays Array when field is of "relationship" type in post grid plugin wordpress In wordpress I have a custom post type (generated through the ACF plugin) of job offers which include several text fields (meta_key values) which the plugin "post grid pro" will display no problem. However, I have one field which is the agency that posted the job offer.
This is a relationship field and whenever I add this meta_key to the list of fields to display within each block of my grid it displays simply "Array".
I have tried creating my own shortcode to display this field but alas, this does not work.
There is a page in the site, written by one of the original developers, which lists the job offers. They have managed to display the title of the job agency in php with:
<?= get_field("agence")[0]->post_title ?>

I would like to be able to either write my own shortcode to display the agency title or somehow dynamically create a new meta_key for each job offer which contains automatically the name of the agency derived from the relationship field "agence".
Any help would be vastly appreciated.

A: Instead of using the relationalship ACF field type, use the one called "Post Object". As long as you don't enable "Select multiple values?" option this will only return a single post object.
This post lists the difference between the two field types. Basically, they both return post objects, but they have slightly different options, and relationship fields always returns the result in an array. You could technically use the relationship field and set the minimum and maximum number of posts to 1, but the post object field is the most appropriate one to use when you only want a single post.

Church Meets State in the Oval Office
Published January 25, 2008 at 12:10 PM HST
In 1960, presidential candidate John F. Kennedy asked the nation to disregard his religion. In 2000, George W. Bush informed the nation that Jesus was his favorite philosopher.
In his new book, God in the White House, Randall Balmer explores the interplay between religion and politics in America, tracking the "religionization" of the Oval Office across the last half of the 20th century. How did faith become such an important criterion for the presidency?
Balmer is a professor of American religious history at Barnard College and the author of several books on the evangelical experience in the United States. His newspaper columns are distributed nationally by The New York Times Syndicate, and he earned an Emmy nomination for hosting the PBS adaptation of his second book, Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: A Journey into the Evangelical Subculture in America.

Leading Seaman wins gold at annual grappling championship
By Lookout on Jul 18, 2016 with Comments 0
LS Thibault poses with Major Steve Burgess, Senior Combatives Instructor/Tournament Director, at the Garrison Petawawa Combatives Grappling Championships which raised $2,500 to date for the Soldier On program. Photo courtesy of LS Thibault
Sonya Chwyl, MARPAC Public Affairs ~
When Leading Seaman Lee Thibault learned that no one from the Pacific Navy had ever competed in the Canadian Armed Forces' only grappling tournament, he knew he needed to represent the West Coast.
With seventeen years of wrestling experience, LS Thibault is no stranger to combat sports and always tries to maintain a competitive level of fitness. At sea, he runs fitness classes on the flight deck of the ship; on land, he coaches and trains at his local gym, Crusher Combat Sports, and competes in a variety of local amateur tournaments.
He first heard about the Garrison Petawawa Combatives Grappling Championships through a colleague, Petty Officer Second Class Timothy Rose, who also trains at Crusher Combat Sports and was interested in getting a team together to compete.
The tournament takes place every year in Petawawa, Ontario, and is open to members of the CAF actively serving in the Regular or Reserve Force. All money raised by the competition goes to Soldier On, a program that helps serving CAF members and veterans overcome physical or mental health illness or injury through physical activity and sport. This year, the tournament raised nearly $2,500.
Grappling is a form of submission wrestling that involves holds and take-downs, but no striking. That makes it a great sport for CAF members, says LS Thibault, because there's less danger of injury than with other combat sports.
Most teams competing in the championship come from the army or air force, and because the tournament was mostly unknown in the navy, LS Thibault and PO2 Rose had a hard time forming a team in time for registration. Still, they were determined to participate in the competition.
"We were going to get permission to go and represent ourselves, just the two of us," says LS Thibault. "Then PO2 Rose got injured, and I was posted ashore to the Naval Personnel and Training Group in Esquimalt."
Despite the setbacks, LS Thibault says his new unit did everything they could to help him compete.
"I was blown away by how much support everyone gave me," says LS Thibault. "They managed to push through a memorandum and an official request, and with less than two weeks to go until the tournament my plane tickets were booked and I was registered as captain of a one-man navy team."
When the day of the competition arrived, it was hard for LS Thibault not to feel a little bit anxious. He had been training since the fall with the help of his brother and his friends at Crusher Combat Sports, and while he was confident in his abilities, he says it was daunting to be competing without the support of a team.
"I was nervous when I got to the tournament and saw all the different army and air force teams warm up in their matching attire, knowing that they had trained intensely together for the last couple of months."
LS Thibault competed as an Advanced Heavyweight (221 lbs and up), the highest of seven divisions for male competitors.
After defeating his first three opponents, he won the gold medal in his division, qualifying him to compete against other divisional champions for "absolute" gold – the highest award in the tournament. He won his first match in the absolute division, but lost the next to a "very well-executed arm bar," which forced him to tap out.
Nonetheless, he walked away from the experience as a divisional champion, and he says he's thrilled to have had the chance to get other RCN members excited about the competition. Next year, he hopes to compete again – but this time as part of a team.
"At the end of the day, it wasn't about being number one, or thinking of it as navy versus army versus air force," says LS Thibault. "I want to be a team captain next year and share this sport with people on the West Coast. By bringing the gold home to Victoria, I know I've made a statement."

HomeLearning from a Talented Grifter
Learning from a Talented Grifter
July 20, 2018 July 20, 2018 John Merrow Uncategorized
Late one summer evening in 1988 or 1989 as I was leaving the New York office of the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, someone called out to me, "John. Mr. Merrow." I turned to see a well-dressed young Black man coming toward me, hand outstretched. He introduced himself with a first name I have forgotten and added, "I'm Kwame's son. We met a while back in Washington." NewsHour watchers will remember Kwame Holman, our distinguished Capitol Hill correspondent. Kwame and I had shared an office in Washington for about four years and had gotten to know and like each other. My youngest, Kelsey, sometimes came to work with me, and Kwame, a gentle man with an easy laugh, was just super with her. We brought drawing paper and colored pencils, and one time she did a memorable sketch of Kwame's ficus tree in our office that I still have somewhere. We talked about our children, sharing pictures and stories, but when the young man greeted me, I couldn't remember the number or genders of Kwame's children.
But something was odd: Could Kwame have a son this old? Then the young man went into a spiel about having run out of gas: his car was a few blocks away and could he borrow a few bucks to get some gas? That set of an alarm bell, but I didn't question him, which I am sure was partially race-related. As a white man, I just wouldn't have been comfortable questioning him. What if he actually were Kwame's son? How would I explain that, or live with that? Later I tried to figure out how I might have expressed my doubts, but to this day I haven't figured it out.
I gave him $10 and the next morning I called Kwame. He got a huge kick out of it, as well he should have. As I remember, he told me that his son was nowhere near that old. We had a good laugh, even though I was embarrassed at my having been taken in.
Later, however, I had a very different reaction….I found myself admiring that young man. Consider what he had done: He had somehow learned who I was, perhaps by gaining access to the NewsHour lobby where all our photos were displayed. He must have memorized all our names and faces, positioned himself to watch people leaving. I happened to come out, and he acted. That effort took ingenuity, determination, intelligence, and courage. Skills and assets that our society could use, talents that could have propelled him to a successful life in mainstream America. But he he was, basically, a grifter, a con man, getting $10 for all that effort when he could have been, well, working for the NewsHour for starters.
In the late '60's I spent two years teaching English at night in a federal penitentiary in Virginia. There I taught some of the brightest and most focused kids I ever encountered (and I also taught in a NY High school, at Virginia State College, and at Harvard). I often lamented that those men had taken wrong turns and wondered how that happened, and why.
I had the same reaction to my encounter with Kwame's 'son.' Such a waste…
Thomas Grey's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard includes the memorable lines, 'Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, to waste its sweetness on the desert air,' but, powerful as that image is, it misses a larger point. In our society, 'flowers' don't waste their sweetness on the desert air; instead their talents are too often misdirected into negative and anti-social channels. A just society would be outraged by this waste of talent and would address the wide opportunity gaps that exist. To his credit, President Clinton's Secretary of Education, Richard Riley, tried and failed to persuade Congress to focus on 'the opportunity gap,' but everyone else was–and is–fixated on 'the achievement gap.')
Those two experiences, teaching in a penitentiary and being duped by Kwame's 'son,' had a powerful effect on my own thinking and on my reporting for the NewsHour and my subsequent writing. Our current public education system is a well-oiled 'sorting machine' that examines every child, seeking to know 'How Smart Are You?', using testing, income, parental education, race, and social class as measuring sticks. All the 'education reforms' of the past 20 or so years have failed to address the nature of the system; instead reformers have tinkered at the margins.
It's within our reach to create schools that ask a different question about each child, not 'How Smart Are You?' but "HOW ARE YOU SMART?" That's what most parents ask about their own children, and it's also what the best private and public schools do. I believe it's within our reach to create schools that ask that question about most children and then act accordingly to allow kids to develop their talents, but only if we can develop the will to do so. I think we owe it to Kwame's 'son' and all the other talented young people in our society…and it's also in our own best interests to do so.

Henry Mourad says:
How are you John! I read your article with delight. Repeatedly, our government will focus on doing things the same way it always had. Building prisons instead of spending money on rehabilitation. So what if in the end we have few bad apples and we end up with the majority of the crop in good shape. Look at our immigration system, where in the old days we admitted migrants because they wanted a new opportunity and thus the country benefited a great deal. I'm not saying we shouldn't be cautious, rather we shouldn't be blind. We must give an opportunity to succeed for whoever is willing to put the efforts to make it real. That's how America succeeded and became prosperous.
Great article. Thank you.
Thanks for your wisdom, Henry. We are well, enjoying retirement on Martha's Vineyard. Our best to you and your athletic bride…
Gary Orfield says:
We are a country that is failing to develop the talent of millions of young students of color and has spent a third of a century on the narrow diagnosis and strategies of the Reagan era–that we can solve our problems by more testing and accountability or by creating another even more segregated system of unregulated neighborhood charter schools. We need to value the potential of all children, eliminate the severe discrimination, and provide the opportunities and support all children need.
As you so often are, you are spot on. Where is the political leadership we need? Will our energetic young people lead us out of the wilderness?
Joseph Nathan says:
Part of the leadership John is recommending is coming from a new group that he helped create. John spoke at a meeting last October that attracted hundreds of people from more than 20 states. These folks now have created the Coalition of Independent Public Charter Schools, adopted a statement of principles that strongly endorses using multiple measures to assess student and school progress, district/charter collaboration, use of progressive education principles, accountability for meeting needs of the whole child, active recruitment of the highest need students, etc.
https://www.indiecharters.org/
In just a few months this summer, the group has attracted more than 100 members representing tens of thousands of students. It has publicly challenged the Trump administration's separation of children and families. It's discussed ways with a variety of community activists that it and others can build greater support among political leaders for the principles it's endorsed.
Incidentally, some students with whom traditional schools have not succeeded have blossomed in these schools. As John has written often, just calling a school "charter" means nothing. But these schools have endorsed, stand for and carry out principles that include many of the things John suggests.
jim2812 says:
The opportunity gap rather than the achievement gap is a needed shift in education policy direction you have identified Mr. John Merrow.
The greatest impediment to instituting such a shift in direction to focus on opportunity gap is the segregated housing financed by the Federal government mortgage insurance by class and race from World War II on.
Segregated housing is not segregation just by race but by economic income also. Suburbia was built on segregation by class with houses of the same price range grouped together in one track and a higher price range in another track.
Neighborhood schools reflect the Government insured mortgages of our segregated Nation by race and class of today.
BRIAN DONLON says:
As a high school teacher, I see too many "grifters" leading our school system. These "leaders" are only interested in achieving certain metrics with little regard for kids. There are few avenues for educators to step forward and call out unethical or even illegal behavior. John, you did a great job calling out the cheating during Michelle Rhea's tenure in Washington, D.C. Cheating is still rampant in D.C. and surrounding school systems. Educators are not protected. Please reach out to current education reporters. This is truly a story that needs to be told.http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Bethesda-Beat/2018/Court-of-Appeals-Sides-with-MCPS-in-Whistleblower-Case/
LisaM says:
Same here in Howard County Mr. Donlon….but no teachers are willing to come forward. AP is a big, money making scam for the county. Forget the kids! Forget a real education! Fill the kids with facts to regurgitate for a stupid standardized test. Sorry, that's not education.
This is from Henry Levin, the distinguished Teachers College professor, writing from Barcelona:
Dear John,
That happened to me last year in NYC, perhaps by same person. He was black and highly personable and asked me how was my friend that I had introduced him to. When I asked which friend, he answered "at work" when he passed by, a black dude around 30. I said, oh, you must mean Ernest. He said that he talked to Ernest and found that they had the same cousin, and he wanted to know if I still had Ernest' telephone. He also told me that Ernest owed him $10.00 for lunch which he needed because he had to buy some medicine. I wrote down the man's "name" to communicate to Ernest and gave him $10. By this time he had also asked me to remind him of my name because he had forgotten. By this time the conversation was about between Hank and "John" and about Ernest' family and his cousin having hard times that he wanted to share with Ernest.
I won't go on, but a great scam with an amazing personna.
A brief response to the "con" that John and Hank described. One of the key strategies that many of us have found valuable to help "turn around" youngsters who behave badly is to get them involved in what's sometimes called "service learning." This combines classroom work and community service. It helps young people use their creativity (such as that described in your stories) to help solve local, community problems.
There are many examples I could cite. Here are only 2
* A young woman with whom I worked at an urban district school who was great at getting other youngsters to fight each other by going back and forth getting them angry by telling lies about what one person allegedly said about another. We helped her lead a new peer mediation program at the school. She was fabulous at this. She stopped instigating fights in part because she was getting a lot of praise and appreciation for other students for her work as a peer mediation – praise she had not been able to earn in the classroom, sports or other activities. The level of fighting at this urban middle school dropped to almost 0 in part because of her leadership.
* A young man who was transferred to an urban district school after assaulting a teacher. He became involved in a class I taught where students learned to use their skills and creativity to help solve consumer problems that community members encountered. He was great at this. He used his anger and creativity in positive ways. He had been very violent and gradually this stopped.
He later said that without a change in direction, he might have been dead before graduating from high school. He went on to work for/with Prince, the recording artist. Then he founded "Hip Hip High School" – a charter for students with whom traditional schools have not succeeded. These young people produce you-tube videos that are so good various companies like State Farm Insurance and Verizon Wireless have hired them to create videos for them.
* Finally, I could tell similar stories about dual credit programs, something John recommends. This is another strategy our Center has strongly promoted for more than 30 years.
The right kind of learning, teaching and schools can have a huge positive impact on youngsters. It can help lead to more more constructive use of creativity.

Example:
I have the three labels "unimportant" (right aligned), "very important" (left aligned) and "must have" (right) in the HBox. Any extra space should go just right of the left most label to keep the alignment requirements.
In ASCII art this would look like:
--------------------------------------------------------
|very important|                 |unimportant|must have|
--------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------
|very important|        |unimportant|must have|
-----------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------
|very important|unimportant|must have|
--------------------------------------

-------------------------------
|very important|    |must have|
-------------------------------
                                         <-- making the window smaller
--------------------------
|very important|must have|
--------------------------

-------------------
|       |must have|
-------------------

-----------
|must have|
-----------

The minimal width of the Window would be the space that "must have" requires.
Bonus question: the "unimportant" would actually be a label for "must have" which can be a widget that takes more vertical space. So both should be centered to each other, something that an Atom with those two might be normally used for.

A: Don't like implementation but it does work as intended:
const mainBar = new qx.ui.container.Composite(new qx.ui.layout.HBox());

// sub bar for right and center labels
const subBar = new qx.ui.container.Composite(new qx.ui.layout.HBox());
subBar.setMinWidth(0);// this line is important

// left static label
const left = new qx.ui.basic.Atom("very important");
subBar.add(left);

// center label has a minor priority
const center = new qx.ui.container.Composite(new qx.ui.layout.HBox());
const dummy = new qx.ui.basic.Atom();
center.add(dummy, {flex: 1});
const centerLabel = new qx.ui.basic.Atom("unimportant");
center.add(centerLabel);
subBar.add(center, {flex: 1});
mainBar.add(subBar, {flex: 1});

const right = new qx.ui.form.Button("must have");
mainBar.add(right);

const win = new qx.ui.window.Window().set({width: 600, height: 100});
win.setLayout(new qx.ui.layout.Grow());
win.add(mainBar);
win.setUseResizeFrame(false);
win.open();

const defaultLeftWidth = left.getSizeHint().width;
const defaultCenterWidth = center.getSizeHint().width;
win.addListener("resize", function(){
  this.info(center.getBounds().width, defaultCenterWidth);
  if (center.getBounds().width <= defaultCenterWidth){
    centerLabel.setVisibility("hidden");
  } else {
    centerLabel.setVisibility("visible");
  }

  if (subBar.getBounds().width < defaultLeftWidth){
    left.setVisibility("hidden");
  } else {
    left.setVisibility("visible");
  }
}, this);

// Document is the application root
const doc = this.getRoot();

// Add button to document at fixed coordinates
doc.add(win,
{
  left : 100,
  top  : 50

});


What is the difference between iPhone 5s and iPhone 5?
Fingerprint scanner at home button.
Improved camera especially bigger sensor for better low light performance.
My iPhone doesn't show up in "My Computer" for me to import photos, and under devices is showing MTP USB Device with a exclamation mark, what should I do?
Go to Device Manager, uninstall the "MTP USB Device". Then right click on anywhere on the device manager, select "scan for hardware change". It might take a few try to make it works.

Autopsy's Mental Funeral turns 30!
April 22, 2021 Dutch Pearce
Interview 30th Anniversary, Autopsy, chris reifert, death metal, death/doom, Happy Birthday, Mental Funeral, Peaceville Records.
30 years ago today, Autopsy changed extreme music forever with the release of their sophomore album, Mental Funeral. Two years after the release of their debut album, in 1991, the Oakland, California-based quartet became living legends of the burgeoning death metal underground with the release of Mental Funeral. Three decades later, Mental Funeral remains one of the most influential albums in the history of death metal.
Since we can't join the members of Autopsy today to celebrate the anniversary, we caught up with founding drummer/frontman Chris Reifert to wish his second-oldest deformity happy birthday. We snuck in a few interview questions, too.
Mental Funeral by Autopsy
Okay, Chris, so TO years ago you, Eric Cutler, Danny Coralles and Eric's brother released one of the most important albums in the history of extreme music. What do you remember about the band at the time, back in the transition from the '80s to the '90s when Mental Funeral was coming together?
It's still hard to believe it's been that long. Jeez! As for the band, we just wanted to sound as heavy as we possibly could. With a sprinkling of weird thrown in for good measure. We'd also done two European tours by then so we were feeling fairly comfortable with ourselves.
What do you remember thinking of the metal scene, and how did you want Autopsy's second album to impact it?
The scene was pretty exciting as there were new sounds flooding in from all over the world. Demos, albums, all that good stuff.
I don't think we cared too much about how we'd fit in with it all though. We were just busy being stoners who wanted to play metal and not think too deeply beyond what happened outside of the rehearsal room or studio. We were very much a 'make it up as you go along' sort of band with no grand vision for the future. Some things never change.
What do you remember most about recording Mental Funeral?
We were stoked to be back at Different Fur Studios, I know that. The Residents did a lot of stuff there which provided quite a bit of allure. We had a bit more time than we did on Severed, so there's that too. And the drinking was definitely heavier on that one. Bourbon entered the picture during recording instead of just a couple of beers like on Severed. We also had a bunch of friends hanging out so it had a party atmosphere, which is odd because Mental Funeral does NOT sound like a party. Haha! There were 18 of us there or something. I know we loved the starting tones and barely even mixed it. So we did all things we were not supposed to do while making a record it seems.
What about your sophomore album makes you the proudest?
Mostly that it's passed the test of time. We're still seeing new tattoos of it and stuff, which is nuts.
Looking back, what were some things that Autopsy learned on this album that have continued to influence the way you write death metal today?
Nothing jumps out in that department. We've always tried to just sound like ourselves and leave it at that, although subtle little influences have wormed their way into our songs here and there. Nothing too obvious though, hopefully.
How does Mental Funeral sound to you today? How has your opinion of it changed over the past 30 years?
It's like an old pair of shoes at this point. You know exactly how they're going to feel when you put them on and nothing really changes. I mean that in the best possible way of course. I don't really listen to it for fun these days because I've heard it a zillion times but I'm still very proud of it and I'm glad people still dig it three decades later.
You've played a lot of these songs live hundreds of times now. Which songs still get you fired up?
We've opened shows with "Twisted Mass" tons of times and that's usually a cool starter. Beyond that, pretty much everything we play gets us fired up which is how it ought to be.
What's surprised you the most about Autopsy's career?
The fact that we're still doing it today is something we never would have envisioned as teenagers getting it started. That's a wild thought. Probably the biggest surprise though was the reception we got upon reforming. It was a mind-blower for us.
What are Autopsy up to lately?
Waiting out the plague storm like most other bands. We're getting close to being fully vaccinated and then we can actually get together and turn the amps and shit back on. We haven't done anything since playing Chicago last March but at least we got a live album out of that one.
Sounds like new material from the most consistent band in death metal is on the horizon—another cause for celebration! In the meantime, pick up and read Chris Dick's incredible (and incredibly somehow still in-print) Mental Funeral Hall of Fame for some deeper context into this landmark masterpiece. And buy every Autopsy record you can get yours hand on because they're all mandatory. See you next year for Acts of the Unspeakable's 30th birthday!

More like the trials and tribulations, but that is entirely a different story.
I am what you call a "Power User". I am that guy that people go to after they have found that their computer has stopped working, they went to a shop and found that a complete reload costs $200 and that they followed through and now it's not working like it used to so "could you help me fix it".
Er... maybe... depends on whether I've got the time, the inclination, and if I'm getting paid.
Hey it's a capitalist economy, innit?
Recently I was handed a laptop. It's "surplus". It's an older machine, specifically it is a Thinkpad T60. Core 2 Duo processor that is still being sold as a bottom of the line machine today, but this is 3 years old. The monitor was very dim to the point of not really being usable over long periods of time. The hard drive was too small for my video editing and web development chores. There wasn't enough memory in it. It ran Windows XP.
Since it is a Thinkpad, it will have a longer expected life than a bargain basement computer. This one was loaded to the gills and was the "Screamer" when it was bought three years ago.
I had started to use it as my Multimedia Workspace when I got it. It was more than adequate to do video editing. I'd grab the video and "render" it into a final form after clipping out such things as I would not want to see in a finished product and it will render that video in less time than it takes to watch it. If it's not showing me the preview window, it does a 21 minute video in about 3 minutes.
The problem is that the panel was too dark to do "fine" work like the graphics that I am doing for the blog and for the various websites around town that I'm beginning to work on. So this machine went back home to the repair centre in Memphis TN and got a brand spanking new panel. Shiny bright and lots of little pixels for me to spread out on after being cramped on my old Acer.
Basically it's a solid machine, although were I to buy a new in box machine, it wouldn't be this one, it would be one with an i7 Quad Core Processor since I run a virtual PC in background as a rule, not an exception.
It will do, and it will do nicely, but it wasn't my first choice until the visit of a client a couple weeks back.
As I was doing some changes to a flyer for the church, I handed him the laptop to show him live what the changes would be like and found that the old graphics workbench had locked solid. The only thing I did on that machine was to do Desktop Publishing and it just had locked. Again. I turned it off, recovered and the creaky six year old laptop that was "good enough" failed me again. Clearly it wasn't going to survive. The data was safe on the hard drive, but the machine was giving up on me.
I switched over to my "production machine" a 5 year old Acer Aspire 5610 with a very cranky Left Mouse Button. That machine was my "daily driver" that I did everything on it. Much better than I expected an Acer to be, I forgave the cantankerous mouse button for its brilliant display that was just a wee bit too small at a widescreen 15 inches with the same resolution as a 720p HDTV. Cramped for video editing and graphics work.
The Acer worked fine but as I handed it to the client, it too locked solid. I questioned my technique but clearly there were two machines that needed to be retired. The old Dell Inspiron was a Pentium M 1.6, way too slow for what I was doing. The Acer was starting to act up.
Turning to the Thinkpad, we decided to get it fixed since the guts were new and the only thing wrong was the panel was dim.
I got it back last week and decided that while I could spend $900 to get the new machine it just was not happening. Consulting is just barely breaking even for me, and this black T60 would have to do.
So basically I'm going to recycle the Dell, 'repurpose' the Acer as a server (yes, a laptop server for low power consumption), recycle my old desktop server (P4 3ghz just doesn't cut it) and move into the Thinkpad.
One for the price of three.
I've been living on machines that people have decided were not worth using any more since 2000 when I bought the last parts to upgrade the machine that eventually became my Server. In all the time I have used PCs, I have bought exactly zero computers "New In The Box", preferring to build my own desktops.
You see, I'm the Cobbler's Child in a way. My shoes are scuffed but serviceable. They have to be because I have to fix them.


Chops Grille has become a staple of Royal Caribbean dining and it is a restaurant guests come back to time and time again because they really enjoy everything about the experience.
The next time you make a reservation at Chops Grille, whether it is your first visit or you have lost count, be sure to look for these gems that are worth trying!
I am pretty sure I always forget about the pretzel bread is served at Chops Grille when you are first seated but as soon as I see it, I dig right in.
To be honest, it is difficult to screw up pretzel bread. It is warm, salty and related to those tasty treats you always smell at the mall. How can you go wrong?
The pretzel bread is the perfect way to start a meal off at Chops Grille and the only problem is remembering not to fill up on it before you even order anything!
Sure, Chops Grille has a lot of great steaks but no entree is complete without a few of Chops Grille's signature sides.
Truffled french fries, roasted mushrooms, mashed potatoes, grilled jumbo asparagus and more are available.
My recommendation is just order one of everything. It is the same cost to you and that way you can sample them all. You will quickly find that the sides are a meal in of itself!
Let us take a break from the food for a moment to point out that Chops Grille across the fleet have beautiful views of the ocean.
If you happen to dine in Chops Grille for lunch or have an early enough dinner to catch the sun still up, the view from Chops Grille is hard to beat.
Since I often eat at Chops Grille for dinner, catching a Caribbean sunset while I enjoy some pretzel bread, or some of those delicious sides is a great way to start my evening!
This part of our countdown is a salute to all of Chops Grille's desserts, but mostly the red velvet cake.
Everyone has personal tastes about what they like but I dare you not to love this cake. And the huckleberry cheesecake. And the cookies. But mostly the red velvet cake.
The thing about dessert is usually most guests are stuffed with the amazing appetizers, entrees and sides that dessert just seems impossible. Until you look at the menu.
Make a note or tie a string around your finger to lay off a few bites elsewhere to save room for dessert because the red velvet cake is worth it!
Royal Caribbean introduced dry aged steaks in early 2014 and the steak experience has never been the same.
Dry aged steaks are very popular at the premier land steakhouses, so Royal Caribbean's decision to bring dry aged steaks to sea is a big deal.
For those unaware, a dry aged steak is when steaks are stored in a climate-controlled room for nearly four weeks to achieve the pinnacle of flavor, tenderness and aroma. It really enhances the flavor of the meat in a way conventional steaks cannot match.
Yes, there is an extra cost to trying the dry aged steaks, but it really does make a difference and if you consider yourself a steak fan, going with the dry aged steak is like a trip to the Vitality Spa for your stomach!


When I think I can't stretch my craft and art supplies any further, I find myself playing and creating fun new things I had not thought of before! Today I'm sharing a mini video tutorial with quick tips on how to create this negative watercolored background with yummy, detailed splattered foil!
This card might as well be one of my favorites… I just enjoy painting backgrounds so much and I love the negative watercoloring using these two colors! Such an inspirational stamp set surely needs a colorful canvas to complete its sentiments!
I'm not sure how the foil splatter came about… This watercolored background was very instinctive and it was such a natural process for me. I usually like to splatter watercolor to add an organic touch to my watercolor washes so I guess somehow I thought splattering foil would work -and it did. I love how that yellow foil matches the Gamboge Yellow on the background and at the same time breaks the monotony of what would have been a simple watercolor wash adding texture and glimmer!
If you love this kit you might as well want to check out the entire new rubber stamp collection by Graciellie Design for Unity Stamp Company.

Anthony Robert "Tony" Dorigo, född 31 december 1965 i Melbourne, Australien, är en engelsk fotbollsspelare som spelade vänsterback under hela sin karriär.

Karriär
Han skrev på för Aston Villa som 18-åring 1983, och där spelade han till 1987. Han spelade 111 ligamatcher och gjorde ett mål.

Dorigo såldes till Chelsea 1987 för 475 000 pund, och under sin första säsong i Londonklubben blev han utsedd till "Årets Spelare". Samma år åkte Chelsea ned en division, men de var tillbaka i Division 1 nästa säsong. 1991 såldes han på egen begäran till Leeds United, efter att ha spelat 146 ligamatcher och gjort elva mål. Dorigo vann Division 1, som var den högsta divisionen fram till 1992 då FA Premier League skapades, med Leeds under sin första säsong. Han spelade i Leeds vita tröja till 1997, då han värvades av den italienska klubben Torino. Också här blev han utsedd till Årets Spelare efter att ha hjälpt Torino till Playoff, även om han missade en straff i finalen.

1998 tvingades Torino av finansiella skäl att sälja Dorigo. Derby County snappade upp honom, där han spelade två säsonger. 41 ligamatcher och två mål blev facit för Dorigo i Derby. Han avslutade sin karriär i Stoke City 2000-2001. Där spelade han 36 ligamatcher, men gjorde inga mål.

Trots att Dorigo var född i Australien hade han brittiskt pass och spelade sju landskamper för Englands B-lag, 11 för U21-laget och dessutom 15 landskamper för A-landslaget.

Sonic runs to a new platform.

Everyone who preorders the platformer also gets a free copy of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, the 2012 kart racing game featured on Breaking Bad.
For its PC release, Sega has updated Sonic: Lost World to support a frame rate of 60fps, while players can also look forward to better graphics overall (see the system requirements below). The game also supports mouse and keyboard or gameplay controls, as well as full Steam functionality, including Steam achievements, leaderboards, and cloud support.
The game's system requirements are printed below.
GameSpot's Sonic: Lost World review scored the game a 5/10. Reviewer Mark Walton said, "Sonic Lost World is confused and derivative, and tries far too hard to be clever without any clever design to back it up."

Comparison Table:
The 5 Best Speaker for Chromecast Audio in 2020
1. Bose SoundLink Mini II – Best Overall
2. Polk Audio MagniFi – Runner-Up
3. Riva Festival – Best Luxurious
4. Toshiba TY-GC1000 – Best Budget
5. Riva Arena – Best Battery Life
How to Pick the Best Speaker for Chromecast Audio
Model Battery Life Weight Wattage
Bose SoundLink Mini II 10 hrs 1.5 lbs 40-50 W
Polk Audio MagniFi – 3.88 lbs 150 W
Riva Festival – 14.2 lbs 200 W
Toshiba TY-GC1000 2 AA batteries 3.2 lbs 2×15 W
Riva Arena +20 hrs 3 lbs 50 W
That was a quick comparison for some of the main aspects of speakers. Now, we'll dive into the thorough details regarding each of these products.
Bose is definitely known for creating excellent products over the years, and this speaker is no different. Although it's kind of old, it retains its place at the top of our list because when it comes to the produced sound, it wins hands-down every time.
When you use the Bose SoundLink Mini II, you'll find that it has the ability to generate crisp, clear sounds at any given volume. Moreover, it has the ability to produce exceptional bass and lower frequencies without overwhelming other frequencies. When you move to middle frequencies, you'll find them natural and intended more towards prioritizing the vocals.
This speaker will be able to give you a high-quality headphone experience, which can't be said for the majority of speakers in the market today.
The thing is, the Bose SoundLink Mini II manages to deliver the tiniest of details, such as the singer's breath, or the snap of his/her fingers, to your doorstep. Although such details might seem minor, they really do make your experience wholesome. Not to mention, all of that is aided immensely by its 40-50 wattage.
Moreover, this speaker's exterior design makes it incredibly durable as the outer shell is entirely constructed out of heavy-duty aluminum. So, although it's not recommended, this speaker can take quite a beating. This leads to its weight of 1.5 lbs, which is the lightest on our list.
Just because this speaker is old doesn't mean that it's void of any modern technologies, as it comes with extra smooth voice commands, allowing you to connect it quite easily and without hassle. Also, the battery can give you up to 10 hours of uninterrupted sound, and it comes with a built-in speakerphone.
Unfortunately, though, some drawbacks come with this impressive package, such as its short power cord, which makes moving it a bit troublesome. Furthermore, it's not water-resistant, so you have to be careful with it, and it only offers Singlepoint Bluetooth, meaning that you can only connect it to one device.
Lastly, the Bose SoundLink Mini II is quite expensive and not available at all times, so if you're decided on it, and it's in stock, grab it while you can.
Balanced tunes
10 hours of battery life
Built-in speakerphone
Smooth voice command
Short power cord
Singlepoint Bluetooth
The Bose SoundLink Mini II is a robust, compact speaker that will give you unprecedented amazing sound quality with balanced tunes no matter the volume that you're listening at. Add to that its 40-50 wattage and 10 hours of battery life, and you'll know why it's here.
Polk Audio MagniFi is our runner-up for a plethora of reasons, including its technologies and room-filling sound. First of all, this speaker weighs 3.88 lbs and has a wattage of 150W. Now that we've got these technicalities out of the way, let us speak about the sound quality you get when purchasing these headphones.
As we've said before, the sound created by the Polk Audio MagniFi spreads to the entire room, no matter where you're sitting. The sound waves are engulfing in a way. The high tones here are superb no matter how far you go, they'll be sharp and clear, while if you decide to go for midrange tones, you'll find that these sound as if they've been squashed together.
The vocals are not that emphasized, and they're not as natural as they should be. The bass is adequate, though, it could be better. However, there's not a thing that you can point out and say that it's wrong.
Moving on, let's talk about the technical design of the Polk Audio MagniFi; it comes with 5.1 Dolby Digital coding and SDA audio, plus different DSP settings. These settings include night mode, movie, sports, and music, with the music setting being the default.
You'll be able to move from one setting to the other quickly and without any hassle whatsoever, as the response of this speaker is incredibly fast and accurate. This also applies to moving from one type of music to the other; you'll find that it'll adapt in the blink of an eye.
Nevertheless, the smoothness doesn't stop here as the Polk Audio MagniFi can operate through voice command, which is quite accurate, especially when dealing with the inbuilt Google cast. Certainly, you've noticed that it does not come alone, but with a subwoofer.
What this enormous piece of equipment does is that it can deal with frequencies from 40 Hz to 110 Hz, therefore, boosting the capabilities of the overall unit quite a few notches. Last but certainly not least, this speaker comes with several ports, so it's prepared for anything that you have to throw at it.
It comes with an optical, ethernet port, a 3.5 mm jack, USB inputs, and an HDMI. All of these ports are roofed by LED lights that show you which ports are in use at the moment.
Contrarily, the disadvantages of the Polk Audio MagniFi include the problems that we've spoken about regarding the sound quality, which lowers it to an average rating. They could definitely work a lot more on the bass and the mid-range tunes.
5.1 Dolby Digital coding
SDA audio
Inbuilt Google Cast
Hassle-free setup
Lots of ports
Different DSP settings
Average sound quality
Congested midrange
Not waterproof
If you're going after high tunes that will surround you completely, this is most certainly the one for you. Still, bear in mind that you'll be sacrificing a lot of quality in regards to mid-range and lower tunes.
If it weren't for the whopping price that this speaker comes for, it would've definitely been mentioned even earlier on our list. The Riva Festival is an incredible package that brings a luxurious experience to you.
Firstly, it's the heaviest speaker on our list with an incredible weight of 14.2 lbs. Still, this weight is made up for as the build of the Riva Festival is surpassing. The amplifiers, drivers, and radiators are all sitting comfortably inside two cases.
They're not connected to the exterior case, which is made out of plastic, but they're embedded in the inner case, which is made out of high-quality wood. So, you can see that durability is unquestionably a theme here.
The Riva Festival can work with up to 200W of power, which is also the highest on our list. This power is distributed wisely amongst three drivers, four passive radiators, three woofers, and a six-channel amplifier, which maintains consistent power levels no matter what volume you choose to listen at. This distribution has also aided in creating a sound that spreads 360° all around you.
What about sound quality? Well, the Riva Festival boasts high-resolution audio, so you can listen to sounds up to 24 bit/192 kHz, which isn't common among many speakers. When you listen to your music with the Riva Festival, you feel as if there is a maestro inside placing the tunes where they should.
Everything is controlled; the highs will take you with them, making you feel light, while the lows will set you back on the ground with their warmth and smoothness. It can also create up to 106 dB of sound, making your audio sound as natural as possible.
Moving on, let's talk about the connections and the setup of the Riva Festival. It's a reasonably straightforward process due to its compatibility with, of course, WiFi and Bluetooth, but add to that: AirPlay, Spotify Connect, and DLNA. So, you can stream directly from any of these services. Plus, it's compatible with Google Assistant, which will help you set it up even faster.
Now, let's move on to some of the things that we don't like about the Riva Festival, including its weight, which is considered quite heavy at 14.2 lbs. Furthermore, the price tag is not something that anyone can afford or spare to spend on speakers. Plus, unfortunately, it's not waterproof, so you'll have to be careful with your drink around it.
Double-cased
Connection to WiFi, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, Airplay, and DLNA
Six-channel amplifier
360° sound
200W of power
106 dB sound
If you've got no problem with spending such a sum of money on a speaker, then you should go for the Riva Festival. It'll give you incredible sound, longevity, an easy setup process, and accessibility to all of our modern services.
The Toshiba TY-GC1000 is our budget pick as it brings a lot of impressive features to the table for a fraction of the price that you'll have to pay for other speakers more or less in the same category.
It weighs 3.2 lbs and operates using two AA batteries. The power generated here is 2×15W, which is not the most incredible thing, yet, it works for this specific speaker.
Moreover, the Toshiba TY-GC1000 is quite versatile as apart from it working with WiFi and Bluetooth; it also has a jack for AUX. This means that if you're in any situation where you need to operate the speaker using a wire, namely AUX, you can do that.
The controls here are easily accessible at the top of the speaker with a separate button for Bluetooth pairing, which makes things a lot easier.
Furthermore, the audio created by the Toshiba TY-GC1000 does undoubtedly have a lot of perks such as exceptional bass, courtesy of the separate Bass-Reflex port integrated into the speaker, and the Dual 2.5 Full-Range drivers. Additionally, we can't forget that the Toshiba TY-GC1000 can support high-resolution audio.
One more thing is that Toshiba has noticed that the design of the speaker is a little bit subpar and that it looks like a box. So, what they've done here is that they've wrapped the entire thing in a textured fabric that gave an elegance of sorts to the previously unremarkable device. Plus, it gave a little bit of protection as well.
As for this speaker's disadvantages, you'll find that unlike the bass that's incredibly clear and strong, the high tones do leave a lot to be desired. They're not as flowy and vibrant as they should be.
Furthermore, the absence of an equalizer augmented this problem since nothing is trying to manage the tunes and balance them. Lastly, the Toshiba TY-GC1000, just like most of its peers, is not waterproof.
Takes AUX
Textured fabric cover
Great bass
Easily accessible controls
Inbuilt Chromecast
Underwhelming high tones
No equalizer
If you're on a tight budget and in need of a speaker that will do the job, give you high-quality audio and great bass, along with an easy, hassle-free setup process and smooth operation, the Toshiba TY-GC1000 is the best choice for you.
Our final product today is the Riva Arena, and it stands out in the Chromecast Audio speakers' market due to a long list of virtues, the most prominent being its battery life of 20+ hrs. This not only means you don't have to worry about plugging, charging it, or changing its batteries but, it also makes it highly portable.
Add to that it's lightweight of 3 lbs, and you'll see for yourself why you can easily take it wherever you're going.
The Riva Arena doesn't stop here, as unlike all of the products that we've seen, this is the only splash-proof speaker on our list. It's still not waterproof; you cannot submerge it in water; however, it'll survive if it catches a drop or two, which is better than nothing.
Furthermore, the sound created here is incredibly balanced due to the triple ADX drivers installed. They give the audio a warm nature, which enhances both the low and the high tunes. You'll find that the bass is quite intense and strong, while the highs are lively and penetrating.
Another thing that helps make this sound even better will have to be the Riva Wand app, through which you can adjust the EQ to tailor the sound towards your own needs.
What we also loved is the Away mode that you can put your speaker in. What the Away mode does is that it allows the speaker to form its own WiFi connection and work with it if you're away from your home network.
Moreover, speaking of connectivity, the Riva Arena supports all and everything; WiFi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, and of course, the Google Home app so you can stream directly from your smartphone no matter what smartphone you've got.
Still, keep in mind that due to the Google Home app, you'll find that people with Android systems will have a much easier process than those who work with iOS. Nonetheless, the Riva Wand app takes the sting off that point.
Last but certainly not least, when you hold the Riva Arena, you'll feel that it's made to last. This speaker is quite robust and will prove it's worth over time.
On the other side, though, and just like any other product, it does come with some drawbacks, such as the fact that it cannot produce high decibels. This leads to the sound being a little bit unfocused if you try to play something that's out of the capabilities. Also, the 20+ hours of battery life don't come cheap, as the battery pack will cost you an arm and a leg to purchase.
20 hrs battery life
AUX port
Supports WiFi, Bluetooth, and AirPlay
Three ADX drivers
Riva Wand app
Away mode
Low decibels
Sound can be unfocused at times
Expensive battery pack
The Riva Arena is an excellent speaker that will entertain you inside and outside your house. It's focused on versatility and giving you as many options as possible without sacrificing too much of the sound quality. If you need something that will stand the trials of time and give you a lot of value for your money, the Riva Arena is a superb choice.
Now that we've seen all the details related to our seven top products, we'll tell you a little bit about any speaker's main aspects.
Since speakers are one of these objects intended for a long lifespan, its construction is one of its critical factors. Apart from the outside shell, which could be made out of plastic or metal and covered with any type of rubber or silicone, we've got the interior build.
The interior build is what creates the sound that you're paying your money to listen to. We speak specifically of the speaker cones. Mostly, these cones will be made out of paper, aluminum polypropylene, fiber polymer, or glass.
Over time, if these cones are made out of flimsy materials, they'll bend due to the rapid speed at which sound waves travel through them. If they do bend, the sound created will never be as clear and sharp as intended. So, investing in tougher materials will prevent the bending and have the cones move as smooth as a knife through butter with the waves.
Impedance with any electrical device means the amount of electricity needed to operate the device at its optimal level, and speakers are no different. The trick here is that you have to make sure that your amplifier and any other device that you connect to your speakers is compatible with such an impedance
Sensitivity for speakers means the device's capability to transfer as much of the power that it receives into the sound that you want, and it's measured in decibels.
The calibration of these decibels here is as fine-tuned as ever. If you go a few decimals up or down, you'll notice a significant change in what you're hearing. The higher your rating is, the louder your volume will be.
You'll always find a number that represents the minimal number of watts that your device can operate with and a maximum one on your device. As long as you're using your speaker for limited personal use, then 50W is perfectly enough. On the other hand, if you're trying to create a home theater, you might want to go for something slightly higher, such as 150W.
Don't forget that the number of watts that operate your speakers is related to the number of decimals created by your device. Therefore, it will have an indirect effect on the volume and clarity of your produced sound.
Frequency response indicates the power of the speaker in relation to tone production. When you read the frequency response, you'll find that it consists of two numbers. The first indicates the lowest tone possible for the speaker and the bass, while the second number indicates the highest tone the speaker can play, so it's kind of a range.
With any device that you buy, you'd want versatility. You want to be able to utilize it in more than just one field as that allows you to make the most out of your money. That's why with available connections on your speakers, the more, the merrier.
You might not need it today, but you might need it tomorrow, or in a year, you never know. So, try to have as many outlets as possible, as they always come in handy. These include WiFi, Bluetooth, optical, HDMI, and a 3.5 mm jack.
We've now reached the end of our article discussing the Best Speaker for Chromecast Audio available today. We've dissected our favorite five products, then we gave you a brief guide that will help you make an informed, wise decision when shopping for any type of speakers in general, and Chromecast audio speakers in specific.
Chromecast audio is a valuable device, and having speakers that are compatible with it truly does enhance your overall experience and allows you to do things that were not possible priorly. Now, we'll wrap up this article with a few recommendations.
Our first will certainly be our top pick, the Bose SoundLink Mini II, which can create loud, clear, sharp voices at any volume and with any sound. You'll find that the lows, mid-range, and high tunes are perfectly emphasized and separated.
It's also capable of capturing the whole ambiance of the audio that you're listening to. Plus, it gives you 10 hours of uninterrupted playtime.
Moving on to our second recommendation, that will be our runner-up, the Polk Audio MagniFi, which comes with an incredible wattage of 150W. This speaker is all about functionality, as it comes with SDA audio, different SSP settings that will suit your current surroundings, and 5.1 Dolby Digital connection.
Moreover, it comes with a subwoofer that can deal with frequencies ranging from 40 to 110 Hz.
Last but certainly not least will be our budget pick, and that is the Toshiba TY-GC1000, which brings a lot of options to your doorstep for a minimal price. It comes with Dual 2.5 Full-Range drivers and a separate Bass-Reflects port, which all aid in creating superior sound, especially with regards to low tunes. Plus, it can support high-resolution audio.
