Mets RHP Noah Syndergaard will head back to New York for an MRI after leaving Sunday's game with a "possible lat strain," according to the team.
He appeared to show discomfort in his penultimate pitch, then exited after grabbing under his armpit on his final pitch. His MRI is scheduled for 7 a.m. Monday, GM Sandy Alderson said.
"Certainly was something we didn't need to see," manager Terry Collins said after Sunday's 23-5 loss to the Washington Nationals.
Syndergaard gave up five runs on five hits in just one and 1/3 innings before departing. He threw 38 pitches on the day in his first start since April 20. Collins said he didn't see any physical warning signs with Syndergaard in the first inning.

1) Michael Conforto homered twice and drove in three runs, finishing 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base. It was Conforto's first multi-homer game during the regular season. He went deep twice in Game 4 of the 2015 World Series.
2) A combination of poor defense in the fifth inning and a high pitch count conspired against Zack Wheeler, who allowed one earned run over 4 2/3 innings. The right-hander worked into and out of trouble all afternoon and surrendered five hits and four walks while striking out four.

Maybe the decision was not that controversial given Jeurys Familia's struggles since returning from suspension. Still, Terry Collins exposed himself to the potential for serious second-guessing when, clinging to a two-run lead with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning on Friday night, he pulled his closer and inserted Josh Edgin to face Bryce Harper.
Edgin then coaxed a game-ending 1-2-3 double play and the Mets survived for a desperately needed 7-5 win at Washington to snap a six-game losing streak.
"The way things have been going, that's a big weight off our shoulders," Collins acknowledged postgame. "… Once in a while you have to make a decision. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't."
Collins indicated that the Mets' skid played big factor in his decision to lift Familia, even though Harper was 1-for-10 in his career against the closer. This is no time to passively manage and let players work out of funks.

Mets RHP Noah Syndergaard, who was scratched from Thursday afternoon's start against the Braves due to discomfort in his biceps/shoulder, has been cleared to start on Sunday, manager Terry Collins said after Friday night's win over Washington.
Syndergaard had a throwing session on Friday that went well, Collins said earlier Friday.
Syndergaard said he took anti-inflammatory medication earlier this week, played catch Wednesday, and 'felt great,' but then his arm stiffened up again in the cold and wet weather, which restricted him from lifting his arm above his head.
Per doctor's orders, he took additional anti-inflammatory medication and entered Thursday feeling like he could pitch. But, in an effort to be extra careful, the team decided to not let him start...

Yoenis Cespedes heading to the disabled list with a pulled hamstring will be a crushing blow for the Mets, who posted a 15-21 record with him out of the starting lineup last season. Yet the firewall for the Mets in recent seasons has been the strength and depth of the team's starting rotation. And now that appears seriously breached, as well.
As they enter a weekend series against the Nationals in D.C., during which they will face Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg, the Mets are five games under .500 for the first time since Sept. 27, 2014. They are in last place in the NL East and 7½ games behind Washington. Their current six-game losing streak is the team's longest in nearly 23 months.

Yoenis Cespedes has been placed on the 10-day disabled list due to his strained left hamstring and LHP Sean Gilmartin has been recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, the Mets announced Friday.
Mets manager Terry Collins said the team got better news than expected on Cespedes, but that he would still be out for a while.
Cespedes exited Thursday afternoon's game in the fourth inning due to the hamstring injury after he came up limping while legging out a double to lead off the inning.

I have no idea what to write or think about the current state of Mets. Their situation has become such a mess, so fast, so aggressively, I'm left totally bewildered.
Frankly, I feel like we left St. Lucie, started on a happy walk down the street, swaying, whistling beneath the sun, birds chirping, feeling great about ourselves and the potential of a terrific season. Then without warning ... WHACK. Someone cracked us on the back of the head with a sledgehammer, and now we're bleeding, hunched over, seeing stars, dizzy and can't remember our names.
How this happened, I don't know.

Mets RH reliever Addison Reed, who filled in at closer during Jeurys Familia's absence, has been terrific so far in 2017.
Reed has a 3.09 ERA and 0.69 WHIP with no walks and 15 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings (11 games) this season.
He struck out the side during his inning against the Braves on Thursday afternoon, and SNY's Ron Darling had the following to say about Reed's arm angle:
"He raises that front arm. And when he throws the ball away from right-handers, it's very hard to catch up. ... He steps acrsos his body, then fires it to the other side of the plate -- glove side of the plate."

After the Mets lost their sixth straight game and their 10th in their last 11, third baseman Jose Reyes said New York has lacked energy over the past two weeks.
"No doubt, me myself, I feel like I have no energy at all," Reyes said, according to the New York Post's Brian Lewis, after Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves dropped the Mets to 8-13 and to the bottom of the NL East. "We don't have energy out there. We feel that way, like we go out there with no energy. It's hard to win a ballgame like that."
New York's six-game losing streak is its longest such streak since losing seven straight in June 2015.
Heading into a stretch in which the Mets play 13 of their next 19 games on the road, including this weekend's three-game series against the division-leading Washington Nationals and a four-game series against the Braves, manager Terry Collins addressed his team following Thursday's loss.

Mets RHP Matt Harvey allowed six runs on five hits while walking five and striking out one in 4 1/3 innings against the Braves on Thursday as his ERA rose to 4.25 for the season.
He said after the game that he had an 'intense' workout on Wednesday, was tight during his start, and that his body didn't respond.
Harvey tossed a 1-2-3 first inning as his fastball sat in the mid-90s, but struggled with his command each inning after.

In their 10 games since April 14, the Mets are 1-9, they've made 13 errors, they're batting just .178, and averaging less than three runs a game. Also, they've played 93 innings, during 40 percent of which they sent just three batters to the plate.
This is a classic Sandy Alderson team, though. It's built on power hitting and power pitching. Its goal is to win by hitting home runs and striking guys out. That's it. It's not very nuanced or creative or strategic. It's not about stealing bases, manufacturing runs, pitching to contact or having a top-rated defense. He may be smart, and he might make decisions using statistical evidence, but to Alderson baseball is simple.

Robert Gsellman (0-1, 5.09 ERA) will face Julio Teheran (1-1, 3.52 ERA) as the Mets begin a shortened series with the Braves tonight at Citi Field.
Yoenis Cespedes and Travis d'Arnaud were in Tuesday's lineup before the game was postponed by rain. The two players are expected to again be in the starting lineup tonight after missing the previous few games due to injury.
The Mets are not a 'train wreck,' Bob Klapisch, though you make several excellent points about why this season may be a constant struggle. Sandy Alderson's current roster still has World Series upside. The team's potential has not changed in the three weeks since leaving Spring Training.
"It's easy to push the panic button, it's easy to say, 'Oh, sh!t,' but we are too good for that," Jay Bruce said Sunday, according to the NY Post. "We are a legitimate World Series contender, I believe, and I wouldn't just say that. This is a team that is stacked. We just have to be healthy and play well."
I agree. That said, I fear Alderson and Collins are still making decisions like they did a few years when rebuilding, as opposed to reverse engineering every choice based on winning a Championship.
The first game of a three game series between the Mets and Braves at Citi Field has been rained out.
Tuesday night's game has been rescheduled for 4:10 p.m. on September 25 as part of a doubleheader.

Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Pettit Verdot, 3% Merlot
Produced: 2200 Cases
Alcohol: 14.1%
Barrels: 100% French Oak (60% new)
Cellaring: 20 Years
The 2000, Seavey Vineyard's eleventh estate produced Cabernet is a blend of 87% Cabernet, 10% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot grapes harvested during the month of October from several different locations of the south-facing hillside vineyard. The 2000 vintage's growing season was described by Robert Parker as, "A challenging year, particularly for Cabernet Sauvignon producers, this vintage's cool growing season was complicated by unusual amounts of rain…Many rushed to harvest in order to save the grapes…the finest wines have come from those who waited…Some terrific wines can be found." The Wine Advocate, 8/31/02.
At Seavey Vineyard we waited to pick until the grapes had reached optimum ripeness and complexity. In its most recent reviews, the Seavey 2000 Cabernet is ranked as one of Napa's top 2000's, "Complex nose melds black raspberry, dark chocolate, licorice, roasted meat, and sexy oak notes. Fat and sweet in the middle, with warm flavors of plum…suggests almost roasted ripeness, yet shows very good flavor definition. Finishes with horizontal, fine tannins and lovely persistence. A very successful 2000 from an area, (Conn Valley), in which the fruit obviously ripened well. Rated 92." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/June 2003.
"…A powerful, strong effort for this challenging vintage, it exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a tight but promising bouquet of earth, crème de cassis, wood, forest floor, and licorice aromas. This is a big, deep, chewy atypically authoritative 2000 that will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring, and keep for 15-20. It may be one of the longest lived Cabernets of the vintage. Kudos to Seavey for this accomplishment. Rating 91+." Robert Parker Jr.'s, The Wine Advocate, 12/23/03.
Harvested at 24.5% degrees brix, the yields were 2 tons/acre, up from 1.5 tons the previous year, but still quite low. Wine making style followed classic Bordeaux methods. The juice remained in contact with the skins for an average of 21 days, and, following malolactic fermentation, was aged in French oak barrels (60% new oak) until bottling on May 23-24, 2002.

The truth really is about an honest interpretation.
Ricky Maynard, 2007[1]
The truth really is about an honest interpretation.
Ricky Maynard, 2007[1]
What do you see when you look into Ricky Maynard's photographs? Do you see the incredible attention to detail in the work of a tremendously gifted and dedicated picture-maker, or perhaps the technical mastery and passion of an artist who has remained loyal to the tradition of large-format photography? Maybe you see the unique cultural presence in Maynard's works that gives them a layered complexity and challenges the perspective of the viewer.
Maynard's practice is skilled, considered and culturally charged, and in Portrait of a distant land the work seems intensely personal and critical on a number of levels. This series of photographs traces the modern evolution and adaptation of the ancient living culture of Aboriginal people in Tasmania alongside recent European settlement, in the context of the frequently violent interaction between the two cultures.
Maynard is a member of the Big River and Ben Lomond tribes of Tasmania, and his work is about the history of his people. He tells their stories as a way of honouring them and affirming the maintenance of local Aboriginal cultural practices. His photographs are indeed portraits: of people, and of places; more than mere documentation they illuminate local Aboriginal history. In his first body of work, the Moonbird people1985–88, Maynard depicted a Tasmanian Aboriginal community from the Bass Strait during the annual muttonbird season. In Portrait of a distant land Maynard shows the physical and social landscape of his people through songlines, corner stones, petroglyphs, massacre sites, middens, meeting places, sacred sites and cultural practices, in a combination of visual diary and oral history. The works question the ownership of land and history. Recognising that the history represented in Australian cultural institutions is largely written – and pictured – by the dominant colonising European culture, Maynard invites audiences to understand things from a different perspective, that of the first Tasmanians. He asserts:
We now tell our own history. Picking that up and carrying forth.[2]
Each image in Portrait of a distant land is juxtaposed with personal, poignant and insightful words by revered members of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, who have maintained and upheld local cultural heritage. Maynard believes strongly in maintaining cultural integrity in his practice, and he sees the process of picture-making as collaboration with his subjects.
In The healing garden, Wybalenna, Flinders Island, Tasmania and Death in exile, Wybalenna, Flinders Island, Tasmania both 2005, Maynard portrays two sides of the human condition by showing two important aspects of the same place: Wybalenna on Flinders Island. Here is both life and death. The pictures are about remembering both the bad and the good: Aboriginal people living in exile because of conflict and broken promises, yet, perhaps most importantly, revealing the ability to heal. Vansittart Island 2007 depicts another site of exile for mainland Tasmanian Aboriginal people, where there is evidence of their graves, subsequently raided by Europeans in the name of research. This culturally insensitive, indeed barbaric, practice is controversial yet sadly continues today.
The first four images in Maynard's Portrait of a distant land were completed in 2005 to wide acclaim, and were subsequently produced as billboards around Sydney train stations and freeways as part of an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Interesting times: focus on contemporary Australian art (22 September to 27 November 2005). This high-visibility project was later included in the Busan Biennale (Korea) in October 2006 and Ten Days on the Island (Tasmania) in March 2007. The title of the series highlights the artist's desire to create a body of work that is considered and true; a portrait, by definition, is an honest and genuine attempt to portray a person, place or subject matter. Maynard presents important aspects of Aboriginal history, of a people largely ignored or defined by romanticised stereotypes that persisted through to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when their continued existence was still in dispute.
Maynard's images do more than welcome us to aspects of his culture; they show the maintenance of Aboriginal cultural practice and challenge audiences to view our shared history and country with empathy and with greater understanding.
The works in Portrait of a distant land make a very powerful statement.

Wonder what the reserve price is on that auction.
Anywho, my wish list for Christmas I usually ask for 2 or 3 things that I need and let everyone else figure out the rest. This year I actually had to curtail my want list because I have a few things that I definitely need. One of the things I desperately need, is a pocket watch. My old one fell apart and in my field, keeping track of time is important.
I am running thin on blue jeans, many of my old ones are out-of-style or stained. Of course I could buy a pair, but receiving one free is much better Same goes for a shirt-and-tie combo.
Also, usually I have completed shopping by this time, and to buy stuff for five siblings, two parents, and two Grandmothers, isn't easy, but I usually manage. However, this year I am finding it real difficult to get something for my brother Sam who just got hitched. I am looking for a gift to get both of them and while I have seen a 1,000,000 gifts for him, a gift fitting for both is hard-to-find. He says he has everything he needs and I am thinking of getting gift certificates, but I don't like getting certificates out. It spells out that you weren't looking hard enough.
I hope everyone at SirSteves are having a wonderful Holidaytime.

Last weekend a number of security issues (heap buffer overflows) were found in the Macromedia flash plugin, first reported as affecting Windows only. However we were able to verify yesterday that the issues do affect Linux too. Red Hat shipped the vulnerable flash plugin in an Extras channel (not part of the main distribution, used for such third-party software) for users of Enterprise Linux 3 and 4. Microsoft shipped the vulnerable flash plugin as part of Windows XP SP1 and SP2 (according to their blog.)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux customers who installed flash just use up2date or the Red Hat Network interface in the usual way and will get their flash update along with a email notification if they need it. Or with automatic updates they'd have it by now.
- Microsoft customers are on their own. Maybe they read the MSRC blog or realise that they have Flash installed and go to the Macromedia site to get their update. Meanwhile being vulnerable to an issue where a malicious web site could run arbitrary code on their system.
One of the top reasons that machines fall foul to security exploits is when they are not kept up to date with security issues. So it follows that to protect users a vendor needs to make security updates as easy and painless as possible. At conferences I highlight that one of the important things a Linux distribution gives you are updates across your entire stack - you don't need to use one system to grab your OS updates, another to get updates to your office application, the built-in update system in your Money tool, a manual update for Flash, and so on.

Employee Engagement at Ithaca College
Employee engagement is the driving force of performance outcomes. As quoted by Gallup, "In the best organizations, engagement is more than a human resources initiative – it is a strategic foundation for the way they do business." Employee recognition is a critical component of engagement. Aligning meaningful employee recognition with an institution's core values can help managers be more effective through the modeling and reinforcement of expected cultural behaviors.
At Ithaca College, it is our intention to create a culture of engagement and employee recognition with the hope of providing and sustaining the four pillars of engagement[1] – recognition, feedback, communication and meaning – for and with employees; positively effecting not only the internal operations of the organization, but all the arenas in which the College operates.
The Society for Human Resource Management or SHRM, the world's largest professional association for HR practitioners, breaks employee engagement into three simple categories ~ engaged, non-engaged & disengaged.
- An engaged employee works with passion and feels a profound connection to their company. They drive innovation and move the organization forward.
- A non-engaged employee is essentially "checked out." They're sleepwalking through their workday, putting time – but not energy or passion – into their work.
- A disengaged employee isn't just unhappy at work; they're busy acting out their unhappiness. Every day, these workers undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish. [2]
Just as engaged employees drive innovation and positively affect the overall climate of an organization, disengaged employees can actively bog down key processes – negatively impacting the business of an organization. Employee recognition is one of the most effective and affordable ways to reduce turnover, curb absenteeism, increase productivity, and keep employees engaged while at work. Gallup research shows that engaged employees are more productive and profitable than less engaged employees.[3] They also create stronger customer relationships, and stay longer with an organization.
The engagement process is a dynamic game of give and take. Organizations must work to engage the employee, who in turn has a choice about the level of engagement to offer the employer: Each reinforces the other. Likewise, there are several elements necessary for successful employee engagement. (adapted from OSHA.Gov)[4]
All employees:
- Need to know what is expected of them (ie: clear job description)
- Benefit from having a mentor/friend to show them the ropes (ie: part of an effective onboarding process)
- Need the right tools/equipment to be successful at their job (ie: computers/etc.)
- Need to have open communication with direct supervisor(s) and access to upper management
- Need to know how they are progressing at their jobs and that his/her presence is valuable (ie: frequent feedback through face/face conversations with supervisors and departmental and organization–wide recognition)
- Need to know/or be given the opportunity to explore how their work connects to the mission/vision of the organization
- Need to know that their opinion counts
- Need to know there are opportunities to work and grow at the organization

Each year, thousands of unsuspecting Americans fall at home leaving many of them seriously injured and even disabled. In 2010, more than 12,800 people over age 65 died and 1.6 million were treated in emergency departments because of falls.
Falls can occur unexpectedly, even to the most sure-of-foot person. Most falls take place at home, making proactive fall prevention around the house so important. Here are some safety tips to help prevent slips, trips, and falls:
In addition to fall prevention at home, being aware of weather and terrain conditions when you venture outdoors is also important. Easy Comforts offers easy-to-handle products that can reduce hazards and aid in personal stability while away from home.

I can't foreget what either Joe Harp or Hugh Author said one time "Rin Tin Tin can't go Long twice, then go short." Evidentally David has broken that train of thought, I have never tried that on purpose, but it has happened to me before!! I think I will discuss this topic at large with Mike and see what he thinks, I'm pretty sure what the answer will be, IT DEPENDS!!! Having a dog balanced with enough bottom to get that long retired punch bird and thinking enough to pickup the short retired right in front of a middle distance flyer is what we are all hoping to have, no matter what order your training dictates you to the order that you pickup the birds. This is the best topic RTF has had in a while.I hope to get to sit in on a Rorem seminar sometime in the near future to hear more about this topic.

We can see that eFX is moving slowly, Sideshow doesn't really make accurate props (even though their 1:1 busts are cool). Recently I went into fan made props and helmets and I have to say I'm really happy about this decision. The props made by these guys are professionally painted and assembled, with high quality craftsmanship, they are being shipped faster than licensed items, they are also made from original molds, and sometimes cheaper and more accurate than licensed props. This combined with my specific OT Imperial focus, kept me interested in collecting.
Here are some of the 1:1 Star Wars helmets I recently got: SDS (Shepperton Design Studios) Stormtrooper armor, SDS Stormtrooper Hero bucket, SDS Stormtrooper Stunt lid, SDS TIE Fighter Pilot helmet and armor on bust, SiMan Stormtrooper Stunt helmet, TE2 Stormtrooper Stunt helmet, ATA ESB Stormtrooper Stunt helmet, fiberglass Royal Guard helmet, SDS Imperial Gunner bucket, SDS Navy Trooper helmet and fiberglass AT-AT Driver helmet (with some very accurate greeblies).

Hussey Copper launches line of anti-bacterial fixturesJanuary 13, 2014 11:41 PM
Coming to a home near you soon: copper sinks, cabinet fixtures and other products designed to kill bacteria.
Leetsdale-based Hussey Copper said its new line of home improvement products, when cleaned regularly, will kill more than 99.9 percent of bacteria on their surfaces within two hours and will keep fighting germs that return. Germs targeted by the copper include methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA.
The home improvement line includes bathroom sinks, wall plates for light switches and electrical outlets, push/pull plates used on doors, cabinet fixtures and tile. They come in a copper finish as well as one that has the look of stainless steel.
The fixtures are made with a copper alloy, MD-Cu29, that has been certified to destroy bacteria by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
"We think there's a big potential for it," said Hussey CEO Joseph M. Mallak. "It's at a price point that we consider every American can afford."
Antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria and the cost of caring for patients who develop infections during hospital stays have rekindled interest in copper's germ-fighting potential. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and other cultures used copper to sanitize water and to treat wounds, sores and skin infections.
Researchers say copper interferes with the metabolism and respiration of the germ, but there is no single reason why it is effective. Mr. Mallak said the company expects by the end of June to announce agreements with distributors and nationwide home improvement chains to sell the products. In the meantime, consumers can purchase them at a Hussey website, www.md-cu29.com.
The initiative builds on Hussey's efforts to sell the germ-destroying metal to other markets. The company is already selling to hospitals, where it is being used to reduce infections. The copper producer said it retrofitted the intensive care unit of a major hospital with copper fixtures, but Mr. Mallak declined to identify the hospital. He said agreements with other hospitals will be announced shortly.
Hussey's marketing is getting some help from Medicare and Medicaid. In October, the federal programs will begin penalizing hospitals that have the worst records in protecting patients from infections during their stays.
A study released in a medical journal last year found that using copper objects in intensive care units at three hospitals cut the number of infections patients developed during their stays by more than half.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said hospital-acquired infections kill 100,000 patients each year and add as much as $45 billion to health care costs.
Mr. Mallak said other potential markets include schools, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and public facilities. Hussey is providing copper for drinking fountains at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport.
The new product line is another step along the road back for Hussey, which was brought out of bankruptcy in December 2011 by Patriarch Partners, a New York private equity firm. The company produces raw metal by melting scrap, processes it into sheet, plate and other semifinished forms, and fabricates finished plants.
In addition to the Leetsdale plant, which employs about 350, Hussey also operates a plant in Eminence, Ky.
Mr. Mallak said copper for the home improvement products is made at Leetsdale. The products are made at both plants, but they are all shipped out of Leetsdale.

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
This command is meant to be used to make a lightweight backup, for when you want to know which files might be missing or changed, but you don't care about their contents (because you have some way to recover them).
Explanation of parts:
"ls -RFal /" lists all files in and below the root directory, along with their permissions and some other metadata.
I think sudo is necessary to allow ls to read the metadata of certain files.
"| gzip" compresses the result, from 177 MB to 16 MB in my case.
"> all_files_list.txt.gz" saves the result to a file in the current directory called all_files_list.txt.gz. This name can be changed, of course.
Useful if a different user cannot access some directory and you want to know which directory on the way misses the x bit.
If you want all the URLs from all the sessions, you can use :
perl -lne 'print for /url":"\K[^"]+/g' ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/sessionstore.js
Thanks to tybalt89 ( idea of the "for" statement ).
For perl purists, there's JSON and File::Slurp modules, buts that's not installed by default.
Require "grep -P" ( pcre ).
If you don't have grep -P, use that :
grep -Eo '"url":"[^"]+' $(ls -t ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/sessionstore.js | sed q) | cut -d'"' -f4
This command lists extended information about files, i.e. whether or not it is a true file or link, who owns it, etc. without having to 'ls' from the specific directory. If you know the filename, but not the location, this helps with finding other information about the file. It can be truncated by creating an alias for 'ls -l'. The sample output shows difference in regular locate vs. ls + locate.
This command lists the names of your USB devices connected and what file in /dev they are using. It's pretty useful if you don't have an automount option in your desktop or you don't have any graphical enviroment.
no need to use grep.
ls -l may vary depending on operating system, so "print $8" may have to be changed
For this example, all files in the current directory that end in '.xml.skippy' will have the '.skippy' removed from their names.
Must have the video open and fully loaded.
This is useful for paging through long directories, mulitple directories, etc. I put this in my ~/.bash_aliases file and alias 'lsl' to it.
it does provide much more information , the owner , group , the size in byte , and the last modified time a file or directory was
ls -al : list all in long format
trying to copy all your dotfiles from one location to another, this may help
This will only work on files since ls won't tell the size of a directory contents.
Note that the first switch is the digit one, not the letter ell.
Can easily be scripted in order to show permission "tree" from any folder. Can also be formated with
column -t
{ pushd .> /dev/null; cd /; for d in `echo $OLDPWD | sed -e 's/\// /g'`; do cd $d; echo -n "$d "; ls -ld .; done; popd >/dev/null ; } | column -t
from http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/3731/using-column-to-format-a-directory-listing
plays with bash arrays. instead of storing the list of files in a temp file, this stores the list in ram, retrieves the last element in the array (the last html file), then removes it.

Central American lemon cichlid - Parachromis sp lake apanas
Does anyone have any info on Central American lemon cichlid - Guapote lemon - Parachromis sp.
I am setting up a tank for and planning an expedition to catch some Central American lemon cichlid - Guapote lemon - Parachromis sp lake apanas
However I have very little information to go on. Most comes from local lore and local scientists that was studying the species in the 1970 before the earthquake and war.. And I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the species at all. Have anyone even encounetered it.
Basically this is the info I got.
Genus: Parachromis (this is not certain but very, very likely.)
Habitat: Endemic to lake Apanas, Jinotega, Nicaragua
Desc: Similar to other Parachromis species. pale lemon color body. Predatory species
Max Size: Atleast 2 ft, frequent reports of 27-29 inches
Population: Dwindeling but still relatively common
Can anyone provide any info that can help me set up a tank for this tank or help me collected once I go on my expedition?
I have kept and breed Parachromis motaguense, managuense and Doovii so if no one knows anythign specific about the species the tank will be designed with these species in mind (all of which are native to the country and likely found in lake Apanas)Do as I say. Not as I do.
My personal suspicion is that this might be a color version of doovi or a closely realated species.Do as I say. Not as I do.
As far as I know it hasnt been described at all and not very much is known about it scientifically speaking. It is well known loacally as a food fish but the studies that was done was never finished. What I know about about the scientific studies of it comes to no small part from a friend of mine that was part of the the team that was researching it a long time ago. He was finishing of his marine biology degree back then. Then came the earthquake and the civil war and it was never finished or published. As far as I have been able to find out the work has not survived.
They guy in question became an officer in the war and after the war he has never been able to get back into biology. That is a big problem here. They did some really good work in the 50s and 60s and there is a lot of good reports to read if you can find them (google books is often othe best place to find them) but since than very little has happened. It is getting better again but it is still very bad due to lack of resources. This is a very poor country that used to be the richest country in central America.
I am currently waiting for some material from the US to help me collect some.
I do not know. Maybe I should turn my quest for this species into a journal.Do as I say. Not as I do.
I should add that this species most likely can be found in the Tuma River as well. The lake Apanas did not exist before 1964 when the river was dammed. That does not really leave enough time for an endemic species to form. The researchers knows the local wildlife well and says that this species differs greatly from other parachromis species in the country. To me this indicates that:
- The species was already present in the river but discovered after the lake was built. the lake might have allow them to grow bigger than they earlier could in the river.
- The species is hybrids between introduced parachromis species that we know were introduced to allow for commercial fishing and some local species.
- They accidentally introduced an unknown species to the lake. This would mean that this species has another unknown location. Possible on the large unknown Caribbean coast. The lake is located near the central of the country which means that they might have brought fish from Caribbean rivers.
- They introduced a species that since have been completely or almost completely deplete on lake nicaragua and the west coast. There are other examples of this. The tropical gar and the freshwater sawfish is among other species very rare these days. Last year there was no reported catch of sawfish and less than a 100 of gar.
- Something in the environment cause a different coloration.
Getting some into an aqaurium should help to pgging down what the species might be.Do as I say. Not as I do.
- The species was already present in the river but discovered after the lake was built. the lake might have allow them to grow bigger than they earlier could in the river.
Sounds like a dwindling fish, if you were to keep and breed them you would certainly be doing your bit for the environment William. Best of luck with this.My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .
It might be worth to mention that the world record doovi was caught in the lake so it is possible that something in this lake allow fish to grow quicker, larger than in the natural lakes. Might be that large parts of the bottom still is covered in forrest that covered the area before the lake was created in 64.
The picture below is the heaviest fish caught on rod and reels.
6,12 kg ( 13 lb 8 oz ) 66 cm ( 26 inches )
However fish larger than 14,00 kg + 31 lb have been caught in nets. There have been several caught over 80 cm + 32 inches
INTUR_Guapote_Parachromis dovii.jpgDo as I say. Not as I do.
Wow, certainly puts their potential size in perspectiveMy therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .

I recently posted a thread to the Dear Hasbro Section (Pack-ins, Pack-ins, Pack-ins) regarding accessories, props, little droids, and even smaller creature types that would make ideal accessories for Star Wars figures in favor of more "super" blasters that are created solely for the toys. One of these suggestions was Worrt (a.k.a. the Road Creature), the bulbous, spiney frog-like animal seen in a ROTJ establishing shot of Jabba's Palace from the exterior. This ponderous creature lazily gobbles up its hapless prey with a lengthy tongue and then issues forth a satisfied belch.
The question I now pose is based on a reply to that thread, one that claimed that Worrt was a poor choice as a pack-in because it was as big or bigger than Jabba the Hutt. I suspect that this concept was based on "back story" from one of the countless books, gaming supplements, or CCG cards, but I do not read most of these so I am uncertain of the origins of this size question. I saw the original puppet at the Magic of Myth exibit when it was in Houston, Texas and it is no larger than a small dog. Of course the size of the puppet itself is irrelevant as the Rancor puppet was smaller still. However, I have always seen the shot featuring Worrt as a foreground/background contrast shot with the creature in the extreme forground, its size not relative to the size of the buildings beyond. My perception could be skewed, or that of the writer of this creature's back story which has become gospel for some.
At any rate, if anyone knows where information on the size of this creature may have been published, please let me know. I have copies of the Star Wars Chronicles which I believe includes Worrt in the wonderful size comparison photographic chart section, but I am not certain. The Rancor and Jabba are shown to scale with each other, if memory serves, and if Worrt does appear in that book, I know that it was not as big as Jabba. If it does not, I have only the loyal fans and members of Sir Steves Guide to settle this issue.

Concert review: Lisa Marie Presley well-suited for coziness of Eddie's Attic
Lisa Marie Presley is a diminutive figure, an inherently shy person who has nonetheless decided to put herself in the position of being an artist – and one who has spent months on the road, standing in front of crowds in intimate rooms and putting her vulnerability on display.
While she clearly isn't naturally comfortable onstage – though with five musicians backing her on the cramped Eddie's Attic stage, she might have felt physically penned in as well – she nonetheless conversed quietly with the audience and tried to indulge the boorish types who constantly interrupted her with song requests and irrelevant comments.
LMP Returns Home to Graceland for Historic Performance
Lisa Marie Presley spent her childhood at Graceland and now she's back at the legendary estate for a historic Graceland performance. "omg!

So I haven't been here in a long time. Chris has been so kind to help me get logged back in. I used to hang out here a long time ago with Joe S. and the likes. As luck would have it, the little black bas....furball I was lucky enough to get from Joe S. has been retired. The Tiger dawg is now on the couch living the good like. I picked up my latest project, a yellow pup named Rizzo. It was then that I realized how much I missed really working with a dog. So here I am, brushing up on training stuff, finding all my Lardy materials and looking for anything new.
Rizzo is now 14 weeks and a retrieving machine. He's been exposed to all kinds of stuff, birds, water, parking lots, dog parks, kennels, crates, cars, trucks etc. He's Crate trained, sits at the door when he needs to go out. Walks on a leash, doesn't heel yet, but is a pleasure to walk for a pup. Working on sit. Possibly the smartest dog out of the five labs I've owned. Planning on starting formal obedience between 20 and 24 weeks but will probably sneak some in along the way. Right now everything I do is working on building desire. I've had both types of dogs, the no real desire dog and the fire breathing over the top dog. I think this one will be right in the middle.
I'm doing my best to not go too fast even if my pupil is raring to go. Not sure I'll hunt test just cause I don't have time, but I may.
I'm looking at some remote launchers, I have an old BB derby double and from what I understand can get a decent price on an upgrade. Is there anything better out there? Tips? Suggestions? Shameless plugs?
Hope to spend some time here and it's great to be back!!
Chris....thanks for letting me back in. Joe S...are you out there????

I have been going to the VA in Syracuse since 2002 and am very happy with it.
I know enough, I just can't think of most of it.
I've heard both great things and horror stories.

Dad used the va hospital before his death and always had good things to say about their care and services. As far as my opinion of them I believe any service provided for our veterans is a must and would hope it is a good experience for users.

I think it varies by location and even by the individual caregiver. Good ones and some not so good. Just like any other government run agency.

Pirelli signed a memorandum of understanding with the Hixih Group, a pneumatic manufacturer partner of the Pirelli Group since 2005; the agreement concerns the realization of a filter production plant in Yanzhou. The understanding falls within the scope of memorandums signed with the Italian Ministry of Territorial Protection, Water and Environment and will lead to the realization of a new factory, whose construction is expected for the first quarter of 2010. This new facility will be located in province of Shandong, where the two truck and car tyre production sites are located, hence creating a new diversified industrial development centre, capable of using the synergy from the production and from the commercialisation of the two products. The expended investment according to the 2009-2011 industrial plan, could arrive to 50 million euros within this three-year period (15-20 million euros for Eco Technology), entailing a productive capacity of about 100 thousand filters per year and about 1,200 employees.

Alternate name: Common Ice Plant
Family: Aizoaceae, Ice Plant view all from this family
Description A non-native, succulent with sub-divided, reclined stems; which are covered with very small, shiny bead-like structures and white or reddish flowers in the axils of the upper leaves.
Flowers: width 1" (2.5 cm); numerous long, narrow petals with each from 1/4-3/8" (6-9 mm) and many stamens.
Leaves: wavy and ovate with length 3/4-4" (2-10 cm).
Height: creeper; flowering branches up to 3" (7.5 cm) and reclining stems from 8-24" (20-60 cm) long.
Flower March to October.
Habitat Inland desert areas and open, coastal, sandy flats and slopes.
Range Originally introduced along southern California coast and southwestern Arizona.
Discussion This plant was introduced to North America from South Africa where many Mesembryanthemum species reside. It is also found in southern Europe. Considered an invasive exotic pest plant in California, it colonzies coastal habitat at the expense of native plants and releases large amounts of salt into the soil, thereby making the soil toxic to most other plants. The genus name means "blooming at midday" and the species name refers to the shiny, crystalline look of the bead-like structures. These structures on the plant's divided, reclining stems are actually swollen with water. When these structures exude their contents they give the plant a moist feel when touched.

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Rosebud Dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. A widespread breed, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible.

Aucklanders pulling a sickie to add another 24 hours to their Anniversary Weekend have been warned they're putting extra pressure on workmates, and may face more scrutiny from the boss.
While the idea of calling in sick the day immediately before or after a long weekend might tempt many, business bosses say most workers are honest and the average number of sick days taken each year is declining.
A survey of 472 companies by the Employers and Manufacturers Association (EMA) last year found employees took an average of 3.7 days of sick leave, down from 5.3 in 2011.
Business heads put the trend down to staff not wanting to burden their colleagues with extra work, but one union boss says workers are too worried about job security to take leave even when they're genuinely ill.
"There is much more pressure on workers not to take sick leave. These days, as things have been cut back ... people have the pressure to continue to work [when they're sick]," First Union secretary Robert Reid said.
However, EMA manager David Lowe said most of the workforce was honest and many people were not using sick leave to extend their breaks, despite the many public holidays at this time of year.
"We all know that when someone is away without notice and it's just a sudden unplanned absence, it's always their workmates that pick up the slack," Mr Lowe said. "One of the things that we've all come to realise is in really tough times people do all get together and look out for each other."
Mr Lowe said strict employment laws meant those who faked sick days often faced scrutiny from their bosses.
"I'm sure that somewhere in New Zealand someone will [take a sick day for a longer weekend], but there is just not a trend to say that that's going to happen on a widespread scale."
Business New Zealand chief executive Phil O'Reilly warned bosses were "much more likely to ask for a medical certificate" if employees called in sick on days before or after a long weekend.

Talk examines failures of aid to Africa, Oct. 5
Posted September 27, 2006; 04:27 p.m.
"The Trouble With Africa: Why Foreign Aid Isn't Working" is the subject of a talk by former World Bank official Robert Calderisi scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Calderisi has spent some 30 years in international development working in Africa, primarily at the World Bank. His duties have included serving as the World Bank's international spokesman on Africa from 1997 to 2000 and as country director for Central Africa from 2000 to 2002. Calderisi played an integral role in defending and supervising the controversial Chad-Cameroon oil pipeline.
Calderisi is now a consultant and writer. His lecture shares the title of his new book, in which he examines how international development has failed Africa and suggests ways to make progress. Calderisi also co-edited "Faith in Development: Partnership Between the World Bank and the Churches of Africa."
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Deadline April 15 for CMC Residents To Apply for Full Scholarships to ACCC
March 27, 2008
Cape May County residents have until April 15 to apply for a full-tuition, two-year Marjorie Ward Leaders Scholarship at Atlantic Cape Community College.
The ACCC Foundation established the scholarships in honor of the late Cape May County resident, Marjorie Ward, who bequeathed $500,000 to ACCC. Under terms of her will, ACCC created an endowment to fund scholarships for Cape May County students.
ACCC selects up to six Cape May County residents annually as "Marjorie Ward Scholars." These students receive full tuition to the college for two years, leadership skills training and support from the college's Office of Student Services.
Scholarship criteria include demonstration of leadership potential through school, community, civic or athletic activities; a grade point average of 2.5 or above; and financial need. Applicants must graduate from high school within the year in which they apply for the scholarship. Recipients will be selected in mid-May.
Ward was a retired educator who passed away in 2005 at the age of 105. She taught for many years in the Montclair school system and retired in 1958 to Cape May.
For more information and a copy of the scholarship application, contact ACCC's Financial Aid Office at (609) 343-4935, or visit http://www.atlantic.edu//finaid/scholarships.htm.

It took me a while to realize that there were actually photos from SDCC on SSG. I didn't even find them until 10:30 last night. There definitely should have been some kind of announcement of new photos on the front page. Regardless, plugging that otheR Site here is kind of a d*****bag move.

obviously, this was posted before any site had their pics posted so it was meant to SHARE the new photos for EVERYONE!!!!! so who's the DBAG now
How soon can we have you banned?
That's just not respectful to the great class of members we have here. We are all aware of other sites, but this is the place we chose to be. We don't go running around promoting other sites. That's just rude.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
1000's of post HERE have links to other sites to check out the latest and newest pics....it's not a contest....it was meant to let everyone know the new pics were out...
There's a way to do things and do them correctly. You didn't do that. You don't just pretty much an ad to another site in the title of a thread.

Irish Tenor Ronan Tynan to speak at Harpur Forum annual dinner
Ronan Tynan, a member of the Irish Tenors, has more than music to sustain him. Hampered by disability early in life, Tynan's story of overcoming adversity can be an inspiration to all. He will speak to the Harpur Forum at its annual dinner meeting Saturday, June 5, in the Mandela Room on the Binghamton University campus. His talk will begin following the dinner at approximately 9 p.m.
A twin whose brother died at 11 months of age, Tynan was afflicted with lower-leg problems and had his lower limbs amputated after an accident at the age of 20. Within a year, he began competing in disabled games and amassed 18 gold medals and 14 world records in international track and field events.
After becoming the first disabled person admitted to the National College of Physical Education in Limerick, Tynan trained in medicine at Trinity College in Dublin and became a doctor of sports medicine.
At the age of 30, he began voice lessons, and in 1992 won the John McCormack Cup for Tenor Voice. He then studied with the Italian tenor Ugo Benelli and, in 1994 shot to stardom after winning the BBC talent competition "Go For It." In 1996, Tynan won the prestigious Marmande singing competition in France and was invited to be part of the famous Pavarotti School.
Sony Music signed him to a recording contract, and Tynan continued his musical career, appearing on numerous television shows, including a tribute to Mario Lanza. He has been the subject of a recent ABC 20/20 segment, as well as an Irish documentary, "Dr. Courageous." His first album, "My Life Belongs to You," was released in 1998 and was certified platinum.
In January 2002, Tynan added to his list of achievements by writing his first book, Halfway Home: My Life 'Til Now, published by Simon & Schuster.

The journalist who broke the story Alex Marvez talks about it here http://wqam.com/interviews
Hartline blows. Let him walk.
He's a #4 at best. Save the money Miami.
Why, golly... 6+ mil for 1 TD is howdy doody...
To those complaining, we can't afford to let all of our free agents go. Hartline was the most productive and cost effective FA we could keep at a position of need. What if we couldn't sign Wallace or Jennings and were stuck with Bess as our number 1 with a draft pick as #2. I could only imagine the bitching then.
Hartline is a safety measure. I don't think this takes us out of the running for Jennings or Wallace.
How does this take Jennings and Wallace off the table?
Hartline was going to be resigned all along. The chemistry he and Tannehill have isn't something you always see between qb and wr. Our WR core needed upgraded last year and it still needs upgraded. This just gives us a solid #2 to line up opposite Mike Wallace.
We will probably still draft a WR but there's no way we can rely on them to step right in, no way at all. We will still be active in FA IMO and should still land one of the two premiere WRs.
This worries me. He had 1,000 yard season as our number 1 receiver last year. Only 1 touchdown. We shipped Marshall out for dropping td passes etc.
Hartline is an average receiver at best and not worth 6 million a year.

I had the pleasure of taking out my 10 year old nephew on his first spring turkey hunt this past Saturday and after waking him up at 5:00 we had everything set up and we were in the blind by 5:30. At 5:45 or so we hear the first gobble in the pine trees behind us, then the woods erupted in gobbling and clucking. The gobblers on the West edge of the property would start and just like a tidal wave the gobbling came from West to East, one of the coolest things I have ever experienced in the woods. At 6:00 we saw a tom at the end of the driveway that was probably about 200 yards away and then we started seeing birds frly down from the roost. At 6:15 we see a gobbler across the road and about 15 yards into the trees with his blue and white head going back and forth but I was unable to convince him to come out[:@]. Then at 6:30 we see 2 toms at the bottom of the hill, about 50 yards, away but again I could not convince them to come closer[:@][:@]. That happened again 10 minutes later with a jake[:@][:@][:@] and then at 6:45 I start just calling like crazy and I get a tom to start coming up the hill. He is going slow and steady an then is directly in front of us at 15 yards and I leaned into my nephew and ask if he sees him, and he says "no" so when the gobbler had his back turned I moved Carson over my way a little bit and then he could see them. So he says "should I shoot him?" I said to wait until we can clearly see his head, and when he did my nephew made a perfect dropping shot at 6:50[:D][:D][:D]. The bird had a 9.75" beard, 3/4" & 13/16" spurs and weighed 15 pounds.
Here are the pictures, needless to say we were both very excited. I asked my nephew after if he thought we would get one and he said he didn't think so so I was happy to get him one.
Picture #1 is Carson 10 minutes after he dropped the turkey, #2 is Carson and a very proud uncle Dewey in front of the house and #3 is Carson, Dewey and my wife and our son and his first turkey experience.

Ole Miss women host UMass at 2 p.m.
OXFORD – Coming off a narrow loss at Louisiana Tech in an environment that acting coach Brett Frank compared to the SEC, the Ole Miss women's basketball team returns to the Tad Smith Coliseum floor today at 2 p.m. against UMass.
Ole Miss (4-2) fell 57-54 in Ruston, La.
Following today's game, the Rebels are off a week before hosting Belmont. They then embark on a string of road and neutral site games that carry into the SEC opener at LSU on Jan. 3.
Junior college transfer guard Diara Moore leads the Rebels with 13.7 points a game, followed by junior guard Valencia McFarland at 10.0 per game.
Frank would like to see his team improve its perimeter shooting. Four of the Rebels' top five players in three-point attempts are shooting less than 30 percent.
UMass is 2-7 after a 73-50 loss at Boston University Wednesday.

Well this guy (Roux's Blazin Chocolate Moose) turned 1 today and let me tell you it has been a wild time. (it took 15 mins to get the picture on the right. still better than the new year's eve fiasco where his mama wanted him to where a funny hat.) This is the first dog I've ever been completely responsible for and also paid for. I started out wanting a meat dog, then a dog that i might could run a test or 2, next came wanting to train more for tests, now i'm devoting all my efforts to turning him into a trial dog and hunting will take back seat (although he will get a fair share i'm sure. timber hunting is just tough to do with a dog). We've had some rough times mostly due to handler error. No matter what his mama says he is a dang good dog. But little did i know he was preparing me for what was to come. a month after we brought him home we found out we were expecting our first child. Luckily i had him around to catch more of the hormones than i did so i am eternally in his debt. i know there are many more dogs in my future and more than likely better trained ones but i just find it hard to believe they'll ever hold the spot that he has right now.
Now i'm sure yall are probably wanting to see his brother from a different litter (Carter Harrison Mhoon)
and the family shot (minus the old lady)

Dicey Debt 4/6/12
Promotions for prepaid debit cards are enticing - "There's no credit check. No bank account required. And if you're 18 or over, you can't be turned down." "With 100 percent approval and no credit check, you can get your card now." You can buy prepaid debit cards in stores and online. They bear familiar logos like MasterCard and Visa. And like a regular debit card, you can use them to make purchases and to get cash at ATMs. But after examining the extensive terms and conditions of 16 prepaid debit cards, Consumer Reports says that's where the similarity ends. "If your prepaid card is lost or stolen or there are errors on your account, you don't have the same legal protections that you do with a traditional debit or credit card. And there can be lots of fees." Take the AccountNow Gold Visa Prepaid card. Its fees include a monthly charge of 9.95 unless you've loaded 25-hundred dollars on the card that month. Using an ATM to withdraw cash costs 2.50. Plus you'll pay 15.95 if you want to close your account and get a check for the remaining balance. And although some cards imply they can help improve your credit history, Consumer Reports says they can't. Mandy Walker "These are a type of debit card. So the big three credit agencies don't use any of the activity on them to determine your credit score." TV personality Suze Orman's new prepaid debit card is trying to change that in a pilot program with TransUnion - one of the big three credit agencies. But Consumer Reports says it's uncertain how effective that will be. ."
