Late February is a heavy-arrest period in American sports, for the simple reason that the college-football season is over, spring practices have not yet begun, and they have not yet deployed armed alcohol-sniffing police robots on college campuses around the nation. There is a parallel season in May/June — the period between mini-camps and training camp that sees newly drafted NFL rookies spending their checks for the first time. But for sheer random mayhem caused by a lot of juiced-up 19 year olds running wild without supervision, late February is about as bad as it gets. This year has been no exception.
First, let's get the DUI and possession charges out of the way. West Virginia University saw receiver Jock Sanders — great name — busted for a DUI after blowing a .125 this past weekend. He was stopped for going just 36 in a 25-mph zone — which tells you what it's like to be a black athlete in a hick state like West Virginia.
Then you had Oklahoma State wideout Bo Bowling, who got himself suspended from the Cowboys squad this past week after police arrested him with 100-plus grams of weed, a bunch of baggies, a digital scale, and a quantity of personal-use Xanax. All this was found with the help of a 4 am search warrant, which means the cops were actually investigating the guy — not a good sign. Bowling was slapped with possession with intent to distribute, simple possession, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Can't have a college-football arrest roundup without a Florida State wideout, can we? How about Preston Parker, who was busted for a highly unusual DUI: he got stoned, got the munchies, drove to McDonald's, and fell asleep in the drive-thru lane. Cops in Tallahassee woke him up — the car was still in drive when he was caught and the car apparently went forward as he roused — and he admitted to drinking and smoking the herb. This is Parker's third arrest since arriving on campus, and the second involving drugs. What a run: the kid earns team MVP honors after his sophomore season, and gets kicked out of school a year later. Sad.
Not enough for you yet? How about Willie Jefferson, not technically in college yet, but set to play for Baylor in the fall. Jefferson is a high-school star hailing from Beaumont, Texas; a 6-7 wide receiver with breakaway speed and, now, a weed record. He was pulled over for running a stop sign and, upon exiting the car, police noticed a "green leafy substance" on his pants. A subsequent search revealed a bunch of blunts hidden under a floorboard.
And that's just the wide receivers. There was a whole mess of other guys hauled in for DUIs in recent weeks, including BYU star linebacker recruit Kyle Van Noy (Cougars coach Bronco Mendenhall announced that, as punishment, Van Noy won't be allowed to join the team until 2010), Oklahoma basketball player Ray Willis (fun fact: in September 2008, Willis was stabbed and suffered a partially collapsed lung during a fight that involved guns, knives, and tire irons), and San Diego Chargers nose tackle Jamal Williams — they can't all be college guys, can they?

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Tyler Russell's steady hand has taken Mississippi State's offense to new heights, and he's guided the Bulldogs through some rough patches, too.
The junior quarterback was in top form Saturday night, recording a career-high 291 passing yards in MSU's 41-31 win over Tennessee. The win moved State to 6-0 overall, 3-0 in the SEC, and up four spots to No. 15 in the latest Associated Press poll.
Russell completed 23 of 37 passes and tossed two touchdowns. He and the MSU offense started off hot, and he had 199 yards by halftime, when the Bulldogs held a 27-14 lead.
Then MSU hit a dry spell, punting on five consecutive possessions, not counting a kneel-down just before halftime. But the defense maintained the lead and forced a big turnover, and MSU scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to seal victory.
"Even when we were kind of slipping, even when we weren't performing on offense, (Russell) was calm, collected and made the plays he needed to make, especially in that fourth quarter right there at the end," MSU coach Dan Mullen said.
His biggest plays came in the fourth quarter.
MSU took over with 5 minutes, 22 seconds left in the fourth and clinging to a 34-31 lead. It needed to run some clock, because Tennessee's offense had been moving the ball well in the second half.
On a third-and-7, Russell found Chad Bumphis over the middle for a 10-yard gain. Russell said that wasn't the play that was called.
"Me and Chad just were on the same page. He gave it to me, and I trusted it," he said.
Said Mullen about that play, "We have so much confidence in him to put the game on his shoulders."
MSU reached Tennessee's 9-yard line with 14 seconds left, and Mullen had a choice: Try a field goal, or go for it and run a few more seconds off the clock.
He took a timeout, then sent the offense back out on the field. Mullen didn't want to risk something bad happening on a field goal, and he didn't want to kick off again to Cordarrelle Patterson, who had returned a kick 98 yards for a touchdown earlier in the game.
'Let's take a shot'
"I told Tyler, I said, 'Hey, you know what, instead of just handing the ball up the middle, let's take a shot at the end zone. Just put it where our guy or nobody's going to catch it, and I think that'll take up as much time as running the ball up the middle.'
"If it's incomplete, then they've got the ball with nine seconds, 91 yards away from our end zone."
Russell lobbed a pass to the back of the end zone, where tight end Malcolm Johnson made a splendid one-handed catch and got one foot down in bounds. Ballgame.
Johnson was one of three tight ends to make at least one catch Saturday. Russell completed passes to eight different players, including tailback LaDarius Perkins and fullback Sylvester Hemphill.
MSU finished with 450 total yards, and the 41 points marked the first time since the season opener that State exceeded 30 points. Saturday was a big step forward for the offense.
"Tyler is a big-time quarterback," right guard Tobias Smith said. "With that we're going to grow as an offense around him."

Kosciusko and the Murray Flats at Towong is a panoramic image of the Great Dividing Range, Murray River and surrounding region. Painted during the Great Depression, the work was intended by Eric Thake for the owner of one of the local properties, although this did not eventuate. Thake wrote: 'Mr Drummond was the man that I painted this picture for, or at least with a view to his buying it. He was very interested, but not financially. During the Depression the price of a steer was probably nowhere near the modest price I asked for this picture.'1
The graphic line and simplified forms of this painting derive in part from Thake's training in commercial art, design and printmaking. His studies with the Melbourne teacher George Bell from 1925 to 1928 would have informed his modernist approach to form, space and colour. This painting developed from a number of sketches – a process that involved 'a lot of sifting out and refining and rearrangement, until I come right down to as simplified form as possible'.2
Thake depicts the varied topography of the region. The Murray River is shown curling through the foreground, flanked by clumps of trees and pastures – some soft and green, others eroded with only dead trees remaining. The undulating hills are dotted with details and landmarks including grazing cattle, fence posts and the Bringenbrong Bridge and Station. Further into the distance Thake has depicted the mountains and snow-capped peaks of the Great Dividing Range and Australia's highest mountain, Kosciuszko. At the bottom of the work a motorcar is shown driving along a dirt road, an indication of modernity within the land.

James Taylor
It was quite late on a rainy winter evening in early 1968. I was at home in my flat and I got a phone call out of the blue from a rather nervous-seeming American with a very pleasant speaking voice. I didn't know him, but he told me his name was James Taylor.
He said that he had arrived in London two days earlier. He had been given my number by our mutual friend Danny Kortchmar. Danny was indeed a good friend of mine — he had played guitar in a band backing Peter & Gordon, we had become close and remain so to this day. As I got to know my mysterious caller I discovered that he and Danny had been childhood friends and had more recently both been members of a New York band called The Flying Machine. The group had broken up, James had apparently decided to go and hang out in London and Danny had given him my number, simply telling James that I was someone he knew and liked.
James explained that he was in London in search of some kind of musical success. He had made a demo the day before and wondered whether I would like to hear it. I told him that I would love to and we made a plan for him to come over the following day
When he did so and played the demo I still remember my utter astonishment and delight. These were not traditional rock'n'roll songs. They had elements of folk to them but with an R&B groove. The guitar parts had the elegance of classical Spanish guitar playing but used occasional jazz chords. The vocals were intense and soulful but introspective and thoughtful at the same time. The songs were brilliant blends of poetic eloquence, humour and precision. I was overwhelmed. I asked him to play a couple more songs live and he did so. I told him how very good I thought his music was. I said that I had a new job as head of A&R for a new record label and that I would like to sign him. I also discovered that he had nowhere to stay and invited him to move into our guest room where he ended up staying for several months.
I worked with James for a while helping him put a band together (we advertised in the Melody Maker) and in developing some of these great songs: 'Something's Wrong', 'Something In The Way She Moves', 'Knocking 'Round The Zoo' (about his experiences in a mental hospital) and 'Carolina In My Mind'. The last song (one of my favourites) was written after he was signed to Apple and while feeling homesick on the island of Ibiza.
I took him into the office and introduced him to The Beatles, who loved him and his music. I wrote an internal memo (which still exists) to the American head of Apple Records, Ron Kass, who had been brought in as the official businessman to run the overall affairs of Apple Records. It began: "1st June 1968. Re: James Taylor. He is an American songwriter and singer who is very good", and ended: "We intend to start recording about the 20th of June, by which time he will have enough songs rehearsed and arranged with me. He is ready to discuss contracts as soon as you are". It all seemed so simple.
Thousands of American musicians and fans were no doubt setting off for London around this time with vague hopes of getting into Apple somehow or even of actually meeting The Beatles. Only in retrospect can I imagine how extraordinary and scary it must have been for a sensitive, nervous artist with a history of psychiatric issues and drug use to come to London and do so within just a week or so of his arrival. And his life was only going to get more complicated from now on.
The business aspects got sorted out and we went into Trident Studios in St. Anne's Court in Soho to make the record. The studio was owned by the Sheffield brothers — Norman ran the place and Barry was the engineer. James' friend, the exceptional American drummer Joel "Bishop" O'Brien, was in London too and joined us in the studio. Musicians were coming and going. From our Melody Maker ad we had found Louis Cennamo to play bass and Don Schinn to play keyboards. While, in retrospect, I think the album could fairly be described as "over-produced", I was so anxious to make everyone pay attention to these remarkable songs and the genius of James' musicianship that I suggested a lot of overdubs. Paul McCartney joined us to play bass on 'Carolina In My Mind' (James recalls George Harrison contributed backing vocals, but I don't remember that). I enlisted my friend Richard Hewson (a jazz trumpeter and brilliant composer) to write arrangements for the songs and for the 'links' we constructed to fill the musical interstices.
It was certainly a learning experience for both James and for me. I had only produced a couple of records before, but I had a real sense that this was the important one — and I was quite certain that James was an extremely important artist. James himself was still dealing with some personal and addiction issues during the making of the record but I was far too naive to recognize the symptoms for what they were. Despite all of this we made a record of which I am certainly still very proud — and began a professional relationship which was to last for almost 30 years and an invaluable friendship which continues to this day. And I shall remain forever a founding member of the huge and everlasting global union of James Taylor fans.
Peter Asher
James Taylor had just turned 20 years old when he arrived in London in March 1968. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, and raised in rural North Carolina, he came from a professional family in which music was actively encouraged – his sister Kate and his three brothers Livingston, Alex and Hugh, would all embark on recording careers.
At age 10, James began playing the cello — an instrument that would later inform his intricate finger-picking style to a certain degree — but he switched to the guitar by the time he was twelve. Inspired by, among others, Woody Guthrie's children's record Songs To Grow On For Mother And Child, James dedicated himself to the new instrument, and found further inspiration in the form of New Yorker Danny 'Kootch' Kortchmar, older by two years, whom he met on Martha's Vineyard, the island retreat to which the Taylor family decamped each summer.
Songwriting came naturally to James, and by 1966, the two teenagers had developed their act from a duo into a band, The Flying Machine, based in Greenwich Village. With Danny and James on guitar, and James composing the music and taking lead vocals, The Flying Machine came to the attention of Chip Taylor (no relation), brother of actor Jon Voight, and writer of hits as diverse as 'Angel Of The Morning' and 'Wild Thing'.
Just as Peter Asher would be a few years later, Chip Taylor was hugely impressed with James' melodic, contemplative music — "I was so in awe of his writing," he said later, "that it was difficult for me to write my own songs". Chip and his business partner Al Gorgoni signed James and set to work trying to get their young protégé a record deal. As coincidence would have it, Chip considered the ideal vehicle for James' songs to be an album from which, as with jazz and traditional folk artists, no singles should be taken. Peter Asher would take a similar stance at Apple, and in Britain at least, there would be no singles lifted from James Taylor upon its original release; Peter would also commission the album's novel musical links to further strengthen the idea of the record as a cohesive whole.
Sessions for The Flying Machine began at New York City's Select Sound Studios in late 1966, and yielded recorded versions of five songs that James would later rework with Peter Asher for this album: 'Rainy Day Man', 'Knocking 'Round The Zoo', 'Something's Wrong', 'Night Owl' and 'Brighten Your Night With My Day'. But despite early commitment from a local company, Jubilee Records and their subsidiary Jay Gee, The Flying Machine album project stalled and, reneging on the original concept, the label did indeed issue two tracks as single, 'Brighten Your Night With My Day' and, as the A-side, 'Night Owl', whose title had been inspired by the Greenwich Village establishment where the group was earning itself a good reputation. The record sold in reasonable numbers, but fame and fortune seemed a distant dream
Chip Taylor next started his own label, Rainy Day Records, named after James' song, but before any more Flying Machine music could be released, the band fell apart and in early 1968, James made the bold decision to relocate to London. "I became a better musician in New York," James said later. "But I got too caught up in drugs. I definitely got a quick lesson in life there. I hung out with all kinds of strange characters and really got caught up in the Village life. There were times when I thought that I'd never get out of there alive."
Although there would be more stumbling blocks along the way, it would be London, Apple Records and Peter Asher that provided James with the focus he needed to start turning his life around: "Even though Peter was working for Paul McCartney," James said, "he was still in total control of his own destiny. I knew from the first time that we met that he was the right person to steer my career. He has this determination in his eye that I had never seen in anyone before".
James Taylor was released in November 1968, and marked the beginning of a remarkable solo career that continues to shine. The album laid the groundwork for 1970's Sweet Baby James on Warner Brothers, and the global success that followed. More than 40 years later, the signature songs on this record, including 'Carolina In My Mind' and 'Something In The Way She Moves', remain the cornerstones of James' outstanding catalogue of work.
Concludes Peter Asher: "Many of these songs are ones which James still sings and plays live and it is interesting to compare these early versions we did so long ago. James' voice sounds both higher in tone and more tremulous than it does today. For anyone who came to James' music later in life there may be a certain fascination in hearing where it all began."
All four bonus tracks on James Taylor are previously unreleased. 'Carolina In My Mind' and 'Sunshine Sunshine' are acoustic demo versions made in London during the summer of 1968. 'Let Me Ride' and 'Sunny Skies' were recorded following the release of this album, at Crystal Sound studios in Los Angeles, in the spring of 1969. James re-recorded both songs when he moved to Warner Brothers Records: 'Sunny Skies' on Sweet Baby James in 1970 and 'Let Me Ride', to which he added more lyrics, for Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon in 1971.

who can listen to any of those stations..they are all commericals with maybe 5 minutes of discussion..and then they start with women and breasts and scents..and tmz..i am not in their age group , true, but i love my sports and have turned to music most of the time now..
I could never listen to a radio station that would employ Crowder. Sort of like I will not click on any links to the paper that employs
the worthless POS dreadlocked "journalist" that once shot at a man....According to him....

It's the way to higher ratings. Me and you, they don't really care about so much. They are now trying
to pull mom on her way to take Billy to soccer practice, or Sally to Volleyball. Mike and Mike, like 'em or not
have been and are a ratings juggernaught in the format, and that's what they are.
I personally enjoy the LeBetard show, and listen to it via podcast, but I wish Zaslow still had his
own show, because it was much more sports heavy. The Hochman and Zaslow show is damn near
unlistenable, and it really annoys me because I really think both of them are good to very good on
air talents that just don't blend.
That's a shame. I haven't listened to QAM since last season ended (and I was planning on starting up again once camp opened), but it had really gone downhill other than Joe. At least they fired that tool Dan Sileo, I couldn't stand him. Sedano is a douchebag as well. That station will be nothing without Joe Rose.
The best Miami sports radio shows:
Lebatard Show
Hickman and Zaslow
Joe rose
Kup and Crowder
I can't listen to any of the others.
I listen to all if these via podcast, which is the way to to since there are no ads and you can skip to the best parts
I am not in Miami anymore and have found my sports radio station to be NFL on Sirius satellite radio.

National Geographic Documentary of Electricity in Las Vegas
Written by Jim Anderson, Posted in How Las Vegas Works, vegas local news
National Geographic Documentary of Electricity in Las Vegas, NV
Found this interesting documentary of Las Vegas Electrical Grid and how must power is consumed in Las Vegas on a daily bases. Watch this video and learn how much power Las Vegas produces and whats our main source of power.
"The Las Vegas Strip is an approximately 4.2-mile (6.8 km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Clark County, Nevada. Unknown to many travelers outside of Nevada, The Strip is not located within the City of Las Vegas but it passes through the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester, which are south of the Las Vegas city limits. Most of the Strip has been designated an All-American Road,[2][3] and has a unique distinction of being a scenic route during nighttime.[4] Many of the largest hotel, casino, and resort properties in the world are located on the Las Vegas Strip. Fifteen of the world's 25 largest hotels by room count are on the Strip, with a total of over 62,000 rooms.
One of the most visible aspects of Las Vegas' cityscape is its use of dramatic architecture. The modernization of hotels, casinos, restaurants, and residential high-rises on the Strip has established the city as one of the most popular destinations for tourists."

I tried to introduce some paradigm shifts into our sales foce by educating them for about four hours on Open Source and how money can be made selling exactly that. I then proceeded to show some of our stuff that actually is OpenSource, finding a highly disinterested crowd at the end of the day. If they can't sell it (and make a commission out of it) they're not interested. So we changed a few commissions to reflect our business model: there's money to be made for them by giving away Open Source components for free.

The coolest thing today (a too warm sunday, I tell ya) was finding drivers for the Minolta QMS color laser printer and Linux online. And a lot of documentation on QMS and SNMP. I love it when stuff like that happens.

Rosenberg receives Kober Medal
Posted May 20, 2003; 02:55 p.m.
Leon Rosenberg, a lecturer with rank of professor in molecular biology and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs , has received the annual George M. Kober Medal from the Association of American Physicians.
The association has given the award annually since 1925 "for research in scientific medicine." Rosenberg was cited for his discoveries of the biochemical and molecular mechanisms responsible for several inherited metabolic disorders in children. He conducted extensive research in that area during 26 years as a faculty member at the Yale University School of Medicine, where he also served as dean.
Rosenberg came to Princeton in 1998 from the Bristol-Myers Squibb pharmaceutical company, where he was president of the research division.

White Chocolate Peppermint M&M Cookies
All of the special holiday treats are in the stores and I'm having too much fun baking. I posted Gingerbread Oreo Blondies earlier this week and now I give you White Chocolate Peppermint M&M Cookies.
I found the White Chocolate Peppermint M&M's at Target, the store that makes me buy more than what's on my list. I think Target has little invisible fairies that add things to my cart. When I get to the cash register I am always surprised by what's in my cart. I am too embarrassed to take things back, so I always buy what the fairies put in my cart. I am glad they put White Chocolate Peppermint M&M's into my cart because they made some very tasty and festive cookies.
The M&M's are good on their own, but even better in cookie form. Isn't everything better in cookie form? 🙂 I added crushed candy canes and white chocolate chips to the cookie dough too. These cookies are loaded with holiday cheer!
The cookies are soft with a slight refreshing crunch from the candy canes. The White Chocolate Peppermint M&M's add a big pop of color and are the stars of the cookies. When Josh saw the cookies he thought I made University of Utah Cookies-his alma mater. Their colors are red and white, so I guess they could be Ute cookies, but they really are Christmas cookies.
If you are out shopping and see a bag of White Chocolate Peppermint M&M's, let the fairies sneak a bag or two into your cart. You will thank them later. Especially if you make these White Chocolate Peppermint M&M Cookies. They are a great holiday treat!
Don't forget to enter our giveaways! We have a few going on right now: iMac & $500 Visa Gift Card Giveaway, Biscoff Cookie Giveaway, and Silpat Giveaway! Next week is filled with fun giveaways too, so stay tuned! Happy Holidays!
White Chocolate Peppermint M&M Cookies
Cookies with White Chocolate Peppermint M&M's, candy canes, and white chocolate chips. These cookies are festive and perfect for the holiday season!
Yield: 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes
3 cups all-purpose Gold Medal flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed candy canes
1 cup White Chocolate Peppermint M&M's
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
2. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugars together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients. Stir in the white chocolate chips, candy canes, and M&M's.
4. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough on prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire rack and cool completely.
Note-a few people commented that they made these cookies and they were too puffy and a little dry. You can try reducing the flour to 2 1/2 cups if you have this problem. I used 3 cups of flour though and they were just fine.

Movie and TV trivia nuts got a mad rush of good news this week. Things started out with Amazon announcing it was expanding its X-Ray service to include TV shows. Then Google, refusing to let Amazon bask in the glory of being first, announced the introduction of Knowledge Graph into Google Play movies, which uses facial recognition to help you identify just about any actor – even that random guy playing the clerk behind the counter who, naturally, gets needlessly killed in a robbery. Now AMC, clearly unimpressed with either service, has decided to get all medieval on the both of them with a new movie watching platform called YEAH!
No, that isn't us just getting excited. That's really the name. YEAH!
Available as an web-based streaming service only at this point (which means that it only works on your Mac or Windows-based computer), YEAH! promises to take useless movie trivia to a whole new level. A tablet version for the iPad is forthcoming in 2013 but AMC has not given a firm date on its release.
YEAH! is a new online movie site that takes your favorite movies – movies you know and love – and dissects them in ridiculous detail, surrounded by factoids, secrets, brand new interviews, quizzes, polls, and more. A quick look at the initial releases shows a heavy focus on Quentin Tarantino, and cult classics such as Blade Runner, Clerks, and the Exorcist. Before you dismiss this as extras from Blu-ray discs being recycled as cool bonus content, it needs to be pointed out that the content is actually new; some films have hundreds of bonus items including interviews done exclusively for the site.
YEAH! charges $5.00 per viewing for films that are shown in Y DEF, and once you've rented your movie, you've got 30 days to watch it, and 48 hours to finish it once you've started.
The site also has dozens of other films that have not yet been converted and only charges between $2-$4 per viewing under the same rules. AMC plans on releasing one new film per week in Y DEF and while it's far too early to tell if movie geeks will buy into the service, it does deserve some points for originality.

Gangster Squad may be loosely based on truth -- the takedown of notorious Los Angeles crime lord Mickey Cohen 60 years ago -- but it feels about as real as a mob-themed costume party. At least there's a certain sport in counting how many neo-noir clichés director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, 30 Minutes or Less) can get his all-star cast to engage in over the course of nearly two hours.
Sean Penn, trapped underneath a layer of unconvincing makeup that makes him look more like a Batman or Dick Tracy villain, is Cohen, the man who ruled the L.A. underworld in the late '40s/early '50s. He's out to set up the biggest illicit gambling operation on the West Coast and since he has eliminated all of his criminal competition and has much of the police force in his pocket, who's going to tell him no?
Enter the LAPD's midcentury-modern version of the Justice League, a super-secret crew put together by police chief William Parker (Nick Nolte) to smash Cohen's operations. There's square-jawed war hero Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin), his best pal and cynical ladies' man Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), switchblade-wielding street cop Coleman Harris (Anthony Mackie), wiretap expert Conway Keeler (Giovanni Ribisi), master marksman Max Kennard (Robert Patrick) and energetic new detective Navidad Ramirez (Michael Peña). That they happen to look stylishly natty in their fedoras and suits while drinking Nehi sodas or, in the case of Wooters, seducing Cohen's sexy moll, Grace (Emma Stone), just makes them all radiate even more of an aura of crime-fighting cool.
Working from a script by Will Beall (which in turn is based on a nonfiction book, Gangster Squad, by Paul Lieberman), Fleischer keeps things moving briskly so viewers don't have too much time to ponder why they should be watching L.A. Confidential, The Untouchables or the masterwork, Chinatown, again instead of this knockoff. It helps that Gangster Squad looks ravishing (thanks to cinematographer Dion Beebe, director of photography on the Miami Vice movie) as Fleischer indulges every one of his Raymond Chandler fantasies.
The Hollywoodland sign, the Los Angeles Observatory, South Central's Central Avenue and, of course, Chinatown all make dutiful appearances, as do lesser-known landmarks like Slapsy Maxie's Hollywood nightclub and the Garden of Allah apartments, where Chandler and other luminaries once lived. There's big-band music, squads of vintage cars, a touch of Dragnet-style narration and, when Wooters wants to know who Grace is after first spying her across a crowded room, he asks a friend in typical hard-boiled fashion, "Who's the tomato?"
Yet, for all of that, emotional resonance and any sense of real danger are about as thin as an L.A. snowfall. Despite the constant barrage of gunfire, the bad guys can't hit the side of a Studebaker, and there's absolutely no chemistry between Stone and Gosling (who were paired in Crazy, Stupid, Love to much better effect). Everyone involved, including Penn, seems to be playing dress-up.
The only moment where you realize that this is about real people is when Chief Parker's assistant is introduced as Darryl Gates, the controversial LAPD inspector and, later, chief, who did indeed begin his career working for Parker. Anyone who lived in L.A. in the late 20th century is aware of what would become of Gates (who was ousted in the '90s, in the wake of the riots that followed the Rodney King beating and subsequent trial of the cops who did it) and how the LAPD's tarnished reputation wouldn't be scrubbed clean with the downfall of Cohen.
Even though the saga of L.A. corruption has been the fodder for transcendent fiction for generations, there's still a great movie to be made from such colorful source material. The biggest crime in Gangster Squad is that it doesn't even come close.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tech stocks managed to close with mostly gains on Tuesday, with online movie firm Netflix surging more than 14% on news of a new content deal with Walt Disney Co.
Netflix NFLX, +1.20% and Pandora Media Inc. P, +0.74% both saw strong gains by the closing bell — though Pandora tumbled in after-hours trading as its forecast for the fourth fiscal quarter came in below Wall Street's estimates.

"The experience of Google and Microsoft suggests that P/E expansion largely is over once margins peak and earnings growth moderates," the analyst wrote. "Even bursts of faster revenue growth don't tend to boost the multiple." Read: Apple's upside may hinge on new products

|Emmy Rossum, Kim Kardashian, Michelle Trachtenberg
A veritable lesbian threesome fantasy come to life, Kim Kardashian, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Emmy Rossum were seen chatting it up at some event for a summer beach thing, and trust Kim to turn this opportunity to parade around her sizable ass in a bikini. After all, when it's summer… I was actually hoping that Michelle and Emmy would do the same, but alas – no dice. I guess we'll just have to wait and see for the rest of the summer if our wishes will be granted.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Before we leaving Jose explained us everything, so easily was got to the apartment. We lot walking on legs, because everything is very close the house. In the Jose home we felt like at ours home. I regret that our stay was so short. I highly recommend :)
The apartment was well situated near the centre. It is best suitable for 2 persons. Kitchen was well equiped. To make the stay more comfortable some upgrade would be needed for the TV, bed and overall tidiness. Wifi was available.
Apartment very well located, clean and cozy
Apartamento muy bien ubicado, limpio y acogedor
The location of this apartment is excellent, and along with the price, were both the best aspects to take into account. The Apt. Is a bit small, but enough for a short stay. Suitable especially for couples.
The improvement of this apartment go through to have a Wifi access, important especially for those coming from abroad.
The owner was flexible with the time of entry and exit.
A localização deste apartamento é excelente e, juntamente com o preço, foram ambos os melhores aspetos a ter em conta. O Apt. é um pouco pequeno, mas suficiente para uma estadia curta. Indicado sobretudo para casal.
A melhoria deste apartamento passar por dispor de um acesso Wifi, importante sobretudo para quem se desloca do estrangeiro.

Nous sommes très satisfaits de ce logement qui correspond au descriptif.
Il est très bien situé et l'accueil fut excellent. Nous le conseillons vivement.
The attic apartment is located in Triana near the Rio Guadalquivir. On the waterfront are many terraces where it is gorgeous and you can etent delicious tapas. The welcome was warm and there was already a breakfast ready for the next morning. A nice spacious balcony. The walking distance to the center of the Puenta Triana Isabel II is less than 10 minutes. Aad and Rhea
Het zolderappartement ligt in Triana vlak bij de Rio Guadalquivir. Aan de kade zijn veel terrasjes waar het heerlijk vertoeven is en je lekker tapas kunt etent. De ontvangst was hartelijk en er stond reeds een ontbijtje klaar voor de volgende ochtend. Een fijn ruim balkon. De loopafstand naar het centrum over de Puenta Triana Isabel II is minder dan 10 minuten. Aad en Rhea
For 2 people it's a very pleasant stay with a nice balcony to sit outside. The welcome was great, friendly with lots of tips on "where to go in Seville." The location is great, just outside the hustle and bustle of the city, all within walking distance and cozy with all waterfront terraces. In short, a real winner!
Voor 2 personen is het een heel prettig verblijf met een fijn balkon om buiten te zitten. De ontvangst was geweldig, vriendelijk met veel tips over "where to go in Sevilla". De locatie is ook geweldig, net buiten de drukte van de stad, alles binnen loopafstand en gezellig met alle terrasjes aan het water. Kortom een echte aanrader!
I am sorry to discuss my dissatisfaction with this apartment, but I think it is necessary because usually read the opinions of tenants before renting and sometimes help.
The situation is very good, the attention of the person who gave us the keys and the availability via phone owner were correct. But cleanliness, particularly of the sheets is far from satisfactory, especially mattresses sofa bed is extra flat and bad. Moreover, we know that competition is not the owner, but the first night was a neighbor calling late in the morning, long all rings because they had no keys. Generally noisy at night.
Siento mucho tener que comentar mi descontento con este apartamento, pero creo que es necesario ya que suelo leer las opiniones de los inquilinos antes de alquilar y en ocasiones ayuda.
La situación es muy buena, la atención de la persona que nos entregó las llaves y la disponibilidad vía telefónica del propietario fueron correctas. Pero la limpieza, concretamente de las sábanas deja mucho que desear, los colchones en especial el del sofá cama es extra plano y malo. Por otra parte, ya sabemos que no es competencia del propietario, pero la primera noche una vecina estuvo llamando a altas horas de la madrugada, durante mucho tiempo a todos los timbres porque no tenía llaves. Mucho ruido en general por la noche.
Ideal for the city, for its perfect location and comfort, fully equipped a lodging. Remarks: kindly treatment of its owner. The only complaint is that it was very humid and smelly.
Alojammiento ideal para disfrutar de la ciudad, por su perfecta localización y comodidad, totalmente equipado. A destacar: la amabilidad de trato de su propietario. La única queja es que había mucha humedad y olía mal.
We were waiting to give us the keys, like when we left. We attended a very pleasant gentleman.
The apartment well, very well it located, but a bit noisy at night due to garbage collection and store located opposite.
Pleasant stay. A greeting.
Nos estaban esperando para entregarnos las llaves, al igual que cuando nos fuimos. Nos atendió un señor muy agradable.
El apartamento bien, muy bien situado, pero un poco de ruido por las noches, debido a la recogida de basuras y al almacén que se encuentra enfrente.
Estancia agradable. Un saludo.

A powerful earthquake shook Turkey on Sunday afternoon. The 7.2 magnitude quake heavily damaged the city of Ercis, located near the border with Iran. So far, more than 270 people have been reported killed and more than 1,000 have been injured. Turkish government officials said that dozens more remain missing.
Turkey lies in one of the world's most active earthquake regions. Idris Naim Sahin, Turkey's Interior Minister, said that 80 tall buildings have collapsed in Ercis, a city with about 75,000 people, located in the eastern part of the country. A special mine rescue team is digging through the rubble of five destroyed apartment buildings that housed university students in Ercis.
At the Scene
Abubekir Acar, 42, said that he was drinking tea with friends when a nearby coffee house was destroyed. He said at first he did not understand what was happening when buildings began to collapse around him.
"For a while, we could not see anything — everywhere was covered in dust. Then, we heard screams and pulled out anyone we could reach," Acar said.
More than 100 aftershocks, or tremors, rocked the area Sunday and another 100 shook the area on Monday. Survivors are trying to deal with the extremely cold temperatures. Some people are using wood from collapsed buildings to start fires to stay warm.
Helping Hands
Rescue teams worked through the night under generator-powered lights to search for survivors. Cranes and other equipment lifted heavy concrete so people could dig for survivors. One of the people rescued used his cell phone to call the police and describe the location where he and four others were trapped.
The Turkish government has set up tents, first-aid areas and kitchens to help the thousands left homeless after the quake. Many people are too nervous to return to their homes so they spent the night with relatives or outdoors.. More than 2,000 teams with a dozen rescue dogs are working on the search-and-rescue effort.
Several countries have offered help to Turkey. The nation's Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said that Azerbaijan, Iran and Bulgaria have sent aid. Israel and Greece have offered to help even though they have had recent political problems with Turkey. President Barack Obama said the United States would also help out in any way possible.
"We stand shoulder to shoulder with our Turkish ally in this difficult time, and are ready to assist," President Barack Obama said.

Public-private partnerships (P3s) are contractual agreements formed between a public agency and a private sector entity that allow for greater private sector participation in the delivery and financing of transportation projects.
This section of the FHWA P3 website identifies and defines some of the more common types of P3 arrangements. There are many different P3 structures, and the degree to which the private sector assumes responsibility - including financial risk - differs from one application to another. Additionally, different types of P3s lend themselves to the development of new facilities and others to the operation or expansion of existing assets.
These relationships are depicted in the diagram above. Select any P3 option from the diagram to learn about distribution of roles and responsibilities between the public and private sectors for that specific P3 option.

Live OneCare and Morro
You've probably heard the news on Microsofts plan to discontinue its Windows Live OneCare and roll out "Morro", a free anti-malware application.
How do we, in the Lavasoft Research Team, feel about it? From an 'Internet security guy' point of view, anything that encourages users to install, update and run a security application is a huge plus. Anything that contributes to reducing the amount of malware able to compromise vulnerable PCs is, in my opinion, a good thing.
Microsofts press release states that offering a no-cost product will encourage Windows users in emerging markets to deploy an anti-malware product. A lower quantity of vulnerable machines on the Internet makes life harder for the bad guys. Again, a good thing. Reaching people who don't normally use an anti-malware application and having them deploy one makes the Internet safer for us all.
What's the downside? Microsoft's brand towers over everyone. If Microsoft offers a free anti-malware application, the average user may not feel the need to look further afield for an anti-malware application. If a significant percentage of average consumers use Morro as their only line of defense, then the malware writers first job is to make sure that their malware is not detected by Morro. And, that means a significant percentage of home users could actually be more vulnerable to attack. What's the solution? PC users need to continue to consider the "strength in depth" approach to their PC security in order to stay fully protected.

This is the 3rd year I've made these for Christmas. I put them in Christmas cellophane bags and give them for gifts along with my husbands beef jerky (Alton Brown's recipe using a box fan). I add 1/2 cup flaked coconut to the recipe since I'm a coconut fan. The recipe is easily doubled. They are absolutely delish!
These couldn't have gone together more quickly or turned out better. I had a bunch of "granola dust" (Trader Joe's Vanilla-Almond) that wasn't getting eaten so, despite being a bit concerned that it was too much "dust" and not enough "chunk," I went ahead and made these. I skipped the cranberries and chocolate chips and instead added Heath toffee bits (about 1/3 C.). I used my 1.5 Tbs. ice cream scoop and pre-scooped 15 large cookies onto parchment paper, smooshed the tops down a bit then chilled them for a few hours to avoid too much spreading. They baked for about 16 minutes and are a perfect thin, chewy, golden, crispy-on-the-edges, 3 1/2"-4" cookie. Next time I'll double the recipe and use up all of the granola dust!
Great recipe that has become my standard for chocolate chip cookies! I prefer the cookies as they are (crispy and chewy), but my recipients like softer cookies, so I increased the baking powder to 1/2 tsp. In addition, I used this recipe as the basis for maple nut cookies by using maple brown sugar granola, substituting 1 tbsp maple syrup for the vanilla extract, and adding 1/2 walnuts instead of the cranberries and chocolate chips.
I made these cookies for my daughter to take to Burning Man. I always make a few pounds of my home-made granola for her to take. This time I made my granola and use it to make these cookies. I used a convection oven and make and baked according to the recipe here. I baked a test cookie at 350 in this convection oven. The temp. was too high. I made another test cooked and pressed down the dough before baking and baked at 320 and they came out nice. Chewing in the center. I prefer crisp cookies but my daughter and her friends likes these. For me they were too sweet. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
A great twist to the chocolate chip cookie. I used toffee granola from our local organic market and used dried cherries instead of cranberries. Next time will use a few more cherries and a little less chocolate. I only got the tangy cherry bites once in a while. A big hit among my picky friends.
Really good. I made it with a pecan cranberry granola and caramel-milk chocolate ships. Yum, yum!
great cookie. it is like a chocolate chip and an oatmeal wrapped up in one. chewy and crisp! i love it
So great! I used chocolate granola and I think I could have reduced the amount of chocolate chips. I also used bittersweet chips, which I prefer to semisweet. I used parchment paper on my baking sheets instead of butter and the cookies baked perfectly.
I skipped the dried cranberries just out of personal taste, and the recipe is great. I would probably use less chocolate chips next time or make some more batter. I also used maple pecan granola which went really well with the brown sugar flavor. Very tasty!
I used vanilla- almond granola and a bit of cinnamon and cardomom. i also used whole wheat pastry flour instead of white. Couldn't tell the difference, I think because there's so little batter! I made the cookies small and pushed them down a bit. For anyone that has trouble with them sticking- invest in a Silpat- it will change your cookie baking!

Nope. This is what you said.
Then your post above (couple posts above this one, which you have edited) said that your "question" did not get answered. When the original question was asked (6 days ago on your "Eye Test" post) I posted Optigen's website. I bumped it up about 30 minutes ago but now I see that since I bumped it, you have deleted that post.

I'm going to forget about text handling entirely.
I've figured out what my problem with postscript output was. It seems that my bounding box was ranging from (0,0) to (+x,-y) which placed the image below the printed page. This is because Fresco places the origin in the top-left corner. A fix to the code is on-going.
But I won't be able to check it in until we have our CVS repository back. Stefan Seefeld, our fearless leader, is mangling the CVS tree as we migrate from one server to another, with a new build system and a new directory structure. Good luck, Stefan!
I'm hacking my local tree in preparation of my Grad Project presentation. The first two things I did were to remove the 33fps cap and force full redraws every frame. This actually ups the frame-rate for GL and lowers it for libArt, which is what I want. Of course, I'll have to produce a switch for it so that I can turn it off when I want to show the damage-cleaning system Berlin has.
Alpha-blended 3d objects are busted at the moment. If a cube is supposed to be rendered in alpha, we want to be able to see through the front and to the back. If we use either back-face culling or depth testing, we will lose parts of the cube that should've been visible. Hence, we must render back-to-front in this case, which means that I'm buzy writing a painter's algorithm sort. It's buggy and I don't know what's wrong.
GLX only allows one thread to hold the Context at a time. This is usually fine for any game because they aren't threaded, or if they are they do all their video operations from the same thread. Not so with Berlin. If we receive a request to the DrawingKit from across CORBA, the ORB will launch a new thread to deal with the request. Hence, the GLDrawingKit needs to have a worker-thread built in. This thread must be provided by the Console, since the Console will also want to make GL calls (to handle the mouse pointer, specifically).
Last rant, I talked a bit about how the full DrawingKit API is exposed to the client. I more recently noticed that there's a parallel problem with the Traversals. The server doesn't have a copy of the scene graph ever, instead it just holds a reference to the top level node and asks it for an iterator, then walks through all the children. Because a Graphic can be implemented by the client, so can an GraphicIterator and a malicious iterator can produce a cyclic scene graph, an infinite depth problem, an infinite breadth problem. There's a few more problems in the general case; a client can pass an exception over CORBA to the unsuspecting server thereby killing it. Or it can never return, knowing that the server is blocked waiting for a response. This is all very bad. I'd like to move the whole scene graph representation inside of the server so that it can enforce sanity within the scene graph. All children of a Graphic must be registered with the server, no more client-provided Iterators, thank you. This means, however, that if a client wants to traverse the scene graph, it must do so by asking the server for a reference to it, which probably isn't such a bad idea from a security perspective anyways.

Roland Juno-60
Among the first in Roland's amazing Juno family! Six analog voices of polyphony and patch memory storage!! The Juno-60 sounds great, however, like the Juno-6 it lacks MIDI control. The Juno-60 includes 56 patches of memory storage. The Juno-60 is still popular due in part to opinions that it sounds better (punchier) than the Juno-106. The Juno-6 and 60 are very rich sounding synthesizers and are great analog machines as long as you can withstand the absence of MIDI control. The JSQ-60 sequencer is an external sequencer controller for the Juno-60 and is usually worth acquiring. Of course nobody can deny that the wooden side panel look is a true sign of Vintage status! Junos have been used by Enya, The Cure, Sean Lennon, Faithless, Astral Projection, Vince Clarke, Rabbit in the Moon, Men at Work, Flock of Seagulls, Olive, Dee-Lite, Howard Jones, Locust, Eurythmics and Add N to (X).
Cool Tips:
The Juno-60 can have 76 patches. By pressing down nr 5 and 1 or 2, at the same time, you get access to patch 57 to 76.
To access patches 80 to 98, (dead-patch) plug a cord into the PATCH SHIFT connector. Now you can access the test-programs 80-98: Keep 5 down and press 3 for bank 8, 5 and press 4 for bank 9.
Fire the Juno up with the KEYTRANSPOSE button pressed and the arpeggio mode-switch up to enter MONO-MODE. All 6 voices will be assigned to the last key pressed.

Hi, i spend some minutes trying to do my first pcb, basically it's an arduino with a 3.3v regulator so i can connect a nrf24l01 chip.If it's alright i will buy some ferric chlorid so i can make my first pcb.Please give any hints, opinion, advice...
@ OP A good "First Attempt"
nice boards, have you tinned the copper with something if so what do you use?
just wondering what are the squares in the left board are for? some sort of noise reduction maby ?
also whats the bottom right board for?
If I ever decide to make a custom board again, I'll use a service like ExpressPCB to get the boards professionally made.
Is diptrace the program that is being discussed elsewhere in the forum, it bypasses some of the windows security settings as part of the installation?

|Lines, Loops and Leaders Line / Leader Recipes, Loops, Splices, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Yes, clear/camo line is great for low visibility to fish, but for those anglers wanting a line highly visible to them but not so easily spotted by the fish, the red line may be an option. Give it a shot; I haven't had a chance to get to the water since I got the line, but will certainly post my report when I do get an opportunity to fish it.
With your last point in mind, red line almost becomes a moot issue with manufacturers (CORTLAND???) making camouflage colored mono and fly line.
Regardless, if i see it on a shelf around here, I'm gonna grab a spool and give it a go.
|You bring up a good point. Any water that is lacking in red wavelengths should serve to camoflage the line to an extent. High-turbidity, murky, green water would seem ideal, since the red light would be scattered at a very low depth. This is starting to make me think that rivers discolored by rainfall and algae blooms, in addition to Northeastern shallow coastal areas with high turbidity, might hold some promise for red line. If the red line was indeed less visible to the fish, yet highly visible to the angler, that would be quite a new product. If we could only convince one of the clear line manufacturers to make a clear/red intermediate line for trial purposes... I think there are plenty of willing field-testers on the forum! Any suggestions?
I read that same article. Here's a thought: wouldn't it stand to reason the red would hold together better over a lighter colored background, like a sand flat, or even highly lighted 'green' water better than in darker or more mixed camouflage conditions -
I know the color disappears; I just wonder where, given the light values over backgrounds like those mentioned. Go lay a length out on a flat for us, Chris - hope you haul it back with a bone on the other end!
|Juro - Roger that, have already sent the e-mail out, will forward a copy. Yup, I bought a few spools to give it a shot, but have yet to actually get out to open water for a test. I'm hoping to get back down to Florida in a few weeks to wet a line, and will post my findings then. I still think that a red sinking line would be effective, all of this in perspective.
flyfisha1 -
Yes you're probably thinking I am going to remind you of the direct link / non-sponsor policy. Well I just did.
But on the topic of red filtering, did you ever bite the bullet on the $5 and try it?
Got my curiosity...
Use as a strike indicator?
Tied as a butt section on a leader, it would probably make a good strike indicator for nymphing, et. al. Sounds interesting - I'll keep an eye out for it.
Cajun Line Red Lightnin' Mono, new leader idea?
As a marine scientist and avid fisherman, I subscribe to quite a few publications, one of them being Salt Water Sportsman. In the most recent issue, I saw an ad for a monofilament that's colored red. The manufacturer claims that the red coloration makes the line become virtually invisible at depth, due to the light filtering affect that seawater has, causing red wavelengths to be absorbed and refracted within the first few feet of the sea surface. Intrigued, I went to their website and found a short Quicktime video showing a pair of identical lures being waved around in a tank full of largemouth bass and catfish; one lure is tied up to "other brand" mono, while the other is tied to this red mono. From the video, I must say it's hard to see the red line. I started thinking about how this mono might be incorporated into a leader, or even a red sinking fly line for offshore fishing.
There are numerous aspects to light attenuation in seawater; one reason that many deepwater and nocturnal species have evolved to exhibit red coloration is that, at depth over 3 meters or so, no red light (emitted by the Sun) exists, and therefore these animals appear to be black or a similar dark color. At depths of 150 M or more, no light, other than that produced by bioluminescence, exists at all, which means that the coloration of the fish and invertebrates becomes largely irrelevant. This is why many of them are just plain silver, black, colorless, or off-white (some of these invertebrates are red or deep purple, also); they appear literally invisible unless illuminated with some light source that contains the wavelengths present in their tissue coloration. Red line, assuming that it contains no other pigments, should behave similarly and become quite invisible. I wonder what the comparison with fluorocarbon will end up being?
I'm going to order a few spools of this line, to see what the results are; at $5 per 300 yds., what can it hurt? It may very well be another advantage for those of us that routinely probe the depths with a fly looking for the next finned monster to strike.
Has anyone out there used this line, and what are your thoughts on the application to fly fishing?

Thread: what did i do wrong
what did i do wrong
i have a 55 gallon tank with 112 watts T5 lighting 6700K
dual fluval 305 canisters
my water parameters are
amonia 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 10
my substrate is fine grade gravel
i use flourish root tabs and dose with excel and liquid flourish once a week
im runing a diy co2 generator into on of my canisters
my java moss is brown on the tops
my swords are yellow and brown and black splotches
my java ferns are wilting but still green
im at a loss as what to do?
is this my substrate,eco complete,laterite,flourite
is it my lighting
not enough co2
Try checking a nutrient deficiency chart like the one here:
Yellowing of leaves sounds to me like there is some specific nutrient missing.

I would suggest you have too much light and not enough CO2 & ferts. I assume the light fixture is sitting on the top of the tank.
High light drives the plants to grow and really suck up nutrients, hence they're showing a nutrient deficiency. Dialing down the light dials down their nutrient requirements. Also, Flourish does not provide a lot of the major nutrients. Its good for low light tanks but not for high light.
As for the root tabs, you're putting them in gravel so I would assume whatever they're releasing into the gravel is also in the water. I can only assume they too are lacking in major nutrients for high light, though I've used tabs in high light and my swords grew like gang busters. Or maybe you arent using enough. Whats your spacing on them?
I think you're lacking in CO2 too. I tried DIY in my 55gal tank and just wasnt ever able to get enough into the water, especially with using a CO2 diffuser. The volume of water was just too great and the diffuser too inefficient.
Moss and ferns also dont like high light. So I would start by turning off one of the bulbs, or raising the fixture, or putting a screen under it, anything to lower the light. Lower light means lower nutrient requirements. Then I would look into dosing some NPK in addition to Flourish. I'm still stumped with the root tabs though, unless its CO2 deficiency and high light thats causing the problem.
With lower light, you might be ok using DIY CO2. Are you using a drop checker to measure CO2 in the water? If not you should consider buying one.
from what ive read i assumed id need around 2.5 wpg to reach the bottom of the tank but i will do as you suggest and turn one of the bulbs off and see what happens
i wondered if i might have too much light as my java moss was looking like it was burnt on the top but looks great further down my piece of driftwood
dont know if my swords are gonna make it though
i put tabs about every three inches in the gravel
as for the co2 i have 2 2litre bottles going into a diy drop checker
im getting 1 bps but i think its not enough because i only see bubbles come out of the return line about every 2 or 3 minutes
thank you for the reply tho and i think you might be right as my plants do resemble getting sunburnt
i think im going to tear the tank down and replace the substrate with eco and replace some of the plants and see where it goes from there
its my first planted attempt although ive had tanks for years
i wanted to try this to see if i could grow plants before i had to spend the bucks on a co2 pressure system
once again thank you for the imput i will try this

By Tiernan Ray
Shares of VMWare (VMW) are down $2.58, or 2%, at $107.80 after the company this morning said its chief financial officer, Mark Peek, has left to server as CFO of Workday, a "cloud computing" startup making analytics software deployed on a hosted basis that has a lot of buzz on the Street of late.
The company also said its Q1 results were expected to "broadly" meet or exceed the forecast it offered back on January 23rd.
Peek has been a board member at Workday.
CEO Paul Maritz thanked Peek for taking the company public in 2007 and providing "a steady hand" over the years. He said Peek has "built a great team of finance and operations professionals."
FBR Capital's Daniel Ives, who has an Outperform rating on the shares and designates the stock a "Top Pick," writes that investors are likely to be disappointed by the departure of someone who was "extremely well regarded," and by a quarterly outlook that sounds like it may not have been the "home run" some were hoping for.
But he expects there were some strong aspects to the quarter just ended:
Fundamentally speaking, we believe VMware had a very strong bookings quarter (which should be front and center for investors) and is in the midst of a massive product cycle (vSphere 5.0) which puts some major tailwinds in the company's sails heading into the rest of 2012. To this point, we hear of solid demand and resources for virtualization spending within IT budgets, as virtualization spending remains a high priority area, while vSphere 5.0 has put VMware in the driver's seat to take server virtualization to the next level within many enterprises over the next few years.

I am kind of new to the Star War scene. I saw it on video at a birthday party when I was a kid and a few years ago in the movies with the special edition version. I still have one pressing question on my mind. How did Han Solo and Luke Skywalker get into the bodies of the stormtrooper robots when they took Chewy to the detention center.
Someone at that party was talking about the stormtrooper robots and that is the only one of the movies that someone wears their shell. Can someone who knows more of Star Wars than me tell me what happened? I heard from a guy at work that theres lots of books now, but I have not found any yet.
