As I discuss with clients the developing notions of Forrester's Business Capability Architecture (see blog post #1 and blog post #2), I have found it important to distinguish between different levels of scope for technology strategy. The primary distinctions have to do with (a) the degree to which a strategy (and the architecture it promulgates) aims to account for future change and (b) the breadth of business and technology scenarios addressed by the strategy.
Thus, I define a four-part technology strategy taxonomy along a two-dimensional continuum with (a) and (b) as axes (IOW, the four parts are archetypes that will occur in varying degrees of purity), to wit:

To feel safe and develop trust, infants and young children need a stable, caring environment. Their basic emotional and physical needs must be consistently met. For instance, when a baby cries, his or her need for a meal or a diaper change must be met with a shared emotional exchange that may include eye contact, smiling and caressing.
A child whose needs are ignored or met with a lack of emotional response from caregivers does not come to expect care or comfort or form a stable attachment to caregivers.
Most children are naturally resilient, and even those who've been neglected, lived in orphanages or had multiple caregivers can develop healthy relationships. It's not clear why some babies and children develop reactive attachment disorder and others don't.
Various theories about reactive attachment disorder and its causes exist, and more research is needed to develop a better understanding and improve diagnosis and treatment options.

Month to go, and Pirates taking shape (Portland Press Herald)
Archives for August 2010
Friday's Portland Coverage
Leggio signs on with Sabres
'"I want to have a good camp and try to get better every day," Leggio said. "I hope to push for playing time and gets some wins and help the team move forward."'
Hockeyville lottery winners get one ticket
'The bulk of those tickets — 275 — will go to the Dundas Minor Hockey Association and 18 will be given to the McMaster Children's Hospital. Forth says the remaining 60 per cent — 588 tickets — will be awarded to residents of Dundas and Hamilton. They have further divided that into 80 per cent for Dundas residents and 20 per cent for residents in old Hamilton, Flamborough, Ancaster, Glanbrook and Stoney Creek.'
Local Boy Leggio Living His Dream With Sabres
"I certainly feel closer (to the NHL) than when I was in Finland," Leggio said. "Just to get a chance to play in the American league with this team … you're surrounded by guys that are working toward the NHL. I think it's going to be a great environment to keep moving forward."
Mark Mancari Gets Another Chance
If he goes back to Portland for a sixth AHL season, Mancari, 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, will instantly become the Pirates' top player and one of the league's elite scorers. He had 28 goals and 73 points in 74 games last year. He has 119 goals and 296 points in 362 AHL contests.
Sabres extend AHL coaches Dineen and Weinrich
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, as winger Kevin Dineen terrorized the Sabres about eight times a season, it was hard to imagine the Hartford Whalers' gritty sniper ever being admired in Buffalo.
Sabres keep AHL coaches; Cup visit finalized
'"I am very excited to be back as part of the Buffalo Sabres organization," Dineen said. "My family and I are thrilled to return to Portland for a sixth season as we continue our effort of reaching our goal to win a Calder Cup championship for the great fans of Portland."'
Dineen settles on deal to stay with Pirates
'"You go through a long and extremely drawn-out interview process, and I was very comfortable with the way things went," Dineen said Thursday night by phone from his family vacation retreat in Lake George, N.Y. "At the end of the day, when things don't fall in place, there's disappointment."'
Sabres Extend Dineen and Weinrich
'"We are delighted to have Kevin and Eric returning to coach the Portland Pirates," said Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier. "They have done an excellent job in respect to our young players and their development within the organization. As we continue to grow our young prospects, we are confident their success in the National Hockey League can be attributed to their time spent with such quality individuals that we have in place in Portland."'
Kane gets his turn with Cup on Friday
'The Sabres announced a party of their own Wednesday. They will open their 40th anniversary season Sept. 18 with "Puck Drop 2010," a daylong event at HSBC Arena that will feature the first day of training camp, the unveiling of the team's commemorative third jersey and the opening day of individual ticket sales for the season's final 31 home games.'
Sabres sign Mancari
'He has collected two goals and three helpers in 16 games over portions of the last three seasons for Buffalo.'
Sabres re-sign F Mark Mancari
'Mancari was a restricted free agent who spent most of last season playing for Portland of the American Hockey League. The 2004 seventh-round draft pick led the Pirates with 74 points (28 goals, 46 assists) in 74 games to finish eighth in AHL scoring.'
Sabres sign Mark Mancari
'Mancari (7/11/1985, 6'4", 225 lbs.) has led Buffalo's AHL affiliate in scoring for each of the past three seasons, including 74 points (28+46) in 74 games for the Portland Pirates in 2009-10.'
Sabres sign goalie Leggio
'Leggio, a goaltender, will presumably back up Jhonas Enroth with the Portland Pirates in the American Hockey League.'
Sabres Sign Local Netminder David Leggio
Leggio spent last season in Finland, where he backstopped TPS to the SM-liiga championship, posting a 1.57 goals-against average and .952 save percentage in seven postseason tilts. He had a 2.93 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage in 30 regular-season games.

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger says Wojciech Szczesny will remain Arsenal's No 1 until he decides otherwise.
The Poland international returned to the starting line-up in Saturday's 6-1 win over Southampton but was at fault for Danny Fox's first-half consolation.
Wenger, however, has given the young goalkeeper his vote of confidence.
"Wojciech is No 1 unless I change my mind," declared the Frenchman. "That is clear. That's why he came back in goal.
"You cannot change a goalkeeper every time he makes a simple mistake, because then you have three bad keepers. The confidence is needed.
"It's a special position where confidence is needed. Maybe he put himself a little bit under pressure because he knows [Vito] Mannone played well at Stoke and at Liverpool. I think he played better in the second half."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Menthol E-Juice Flavors
Who better to create the best menthol e-juice you can buy than someone who used to smoke menthol cigarettes?

I love my Mac. At least I do when it works. Most people are very loyal to their computers, but I'm on a Mac at work and a PC at home. So really, I can go either way as long as the machine does what I want it to do.
But computers often require upgrades. We're about to move into Mac OSX here at the office, and although I've been trained on the new operating system, I'm still a little leery about its capabilities. What if I crash constantly? What if my files are not readable anymore? Or what if I need to be trained on yet more new software?
I'm not afraid of change—I relish learning a new computer program or time-saving trick. But many people are reluctant to trade in their old computer for a new one or trade in a reliable software program for something that has just hit the market. This fear is very real, no matter what field you're in. The old saying, "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" is very relevant, but not very realistic to today's modern workplace. Things have to change.
So I'm recommending, perhaps as one of your many New Year's resolutions or maybe just as a self-improvement push, that you take a look at that new software or technique that you've been a little leery about. And what better place to learn about it—and hear real-life stories—than the Technology for Construction (TFC) conference? By the time you read this, either you'll already be on the plane to sunny Las Vegas to attend the conference, or you (and your boss) will have decided that now is just not the right time to upgrade your department's systems.
I'm not trying to convince you to attend the conference, formerly known as the A|E|C Systems show. I am, however, asking you to look at the future of your public works department. Public works, over the past 10 or 20 years, has changed dramatically. While you were previously using pencils, calculators, and simple spreadsheets, you now have the options of complete management software, powerful GIS databases, wireless tools, and being a "virtual builder."
Web-based project management is one of the most exciting new techniques that I've found listed on the TFC conference schedule. From dealing with requests for proposals to material scheduling to providing local residents with up-to-date information about a project, implementing this cutting-edge technique can be a real time-saver and can eliminate many headaches. What better way to get your supervisors in the field, the various companies you're working with, and your city engineer together on a difficult project?
Another hot topic, building information modeling (BIM), allows designers to embed a 3-D building model with detailed information that public works directors and contractors can use to speed and control the construction process. These holographic blueprints that talk have the potential to reshape the industry. Architects and engineers are already excited about BIM, but can or will your department implement it? An in-depth discussion at TFC will look at these topics, and hash them out for consultants, engineers, and others in the construction industry.
If I haven't convinced you that change is good, that's fine. Your supervisor may force you into using a new software or method though, leaving you little choice. But instead of letting someone else make the change for you, revisit that software sales person that came to visit. Or check out the newest techniques at a trade show or conference. You'll be amazed by what a simple upgrade can do for your department's projects.

Well, some places over the net install them for free, if U send your slide to them, and buy the sights from them. But, then ya usually have to pay shipping both ways. Its not too bad on only the slide, though. But, I prefer to just buy the sights and have a local guy put it on. That's typically $20 in my area.
I like that because if they end up being slightly off, U can go back later and they would adjust it for free (since they are the ones who put them on).
As for which brand - some people like trijicon. Some people like meprolight. I personally like meprolight. They are usually a little bit cheaper too. Is there a shop near U that carries both, so U can look at each and see whick U like better?

Yesterday's release included a number of features that I've been itching to get into RightScale for a long time. This stuff is fresh off the press in alpha release form, so we're hoping for your feedback so we can evolve it to suit your needs. Here are the highlights and some background on where we're headed.
First off we're adding Rackspace CloudServers to the set of clouds in RightScale. All you need to do is to get a CloudServers account and enter your credentials into RightScale. Refer to our tutorial for the details. Today we're releasing full support for our ServerTemplate machinery, which is the foundation for building cloud portable systems. The ServerTemplates are built using our new RightLink agent and support Chef cookbooks as well as our standard RightScripts (see below for more info on this). While we don't have a RightImage available for Rackspace yet it turns out that we've implemented enough magic to make the Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) image provided by Rackspace work as if it were a RightImage.
Some of the features we're missing for Rackspace are a full set of the core RightScale production ServerTemplates and the support for monitoring, alerts, and automation, such as autoscaling arrays. We're working hard to release all this as soon as we can.
The second major new feature is the RightLink agent which supports not only RightScripts but also Opscode's Chef cookbooks. The RightLink agent connects each server with the RightScale core as well as other servers around it. Boot scripts and operational scripts are launched via RightLink and we'll fully support direct server-to-server communication in a next release. RightLink uses Nanite for the communication, it includes the Chef-client for running cookbook recipes, and it can run RightScripts as well. We'll be enhancing the whole communication infrastructure so servers can communicate with each other efficiently but in a secure and controlled manner, for example to enable application servers to register with load balancers and to locate the currently active database master.
I'm excited that we are supporting the Chef server configuration system. When I started RightScale almost three years ago I wanted to include something like Chef but couldn't get myself to pick among the available options. When I dug into Chef earlier this year and started talking to Jessie and Adam at Opscode it became clear to me that this is the right technology for configuring servers in the cloud. Chef cookbooks are the next level beyond OS distributions like Red Hat and Ubuntu. A cookbook leverages the distro for getting the right bits onto the machine and then layers the operational know-how on top: how to configure everything and perform operational tasks. RightScale's ServerTemplates then combine all the cookbooks needed on a server into a portable package and add the coordination between servers. After all, no server operates alone in the cloud.
A nice side effect of using Chef is that we've been able to embrace git for developing cookbooks (svn is also supported). We publish our cookbooks on GitHub, where you can fork and change what we offer to suit your needs. The RightScale website pulls metadata information about each cookbook directly from GitHub or any accessible git repo and servers also get everything directly from git. This means that all of git's (or svn's) software development goodness (branching, merging, tracking) is now integrated with RightScale ServerTemplates.
We still have to put together a getting started tutorial for Chef, but we have published a sample ServerTemplate called "Rails all-in-one (EC2 Chef Alpha)." It launches and comes up running the Rails Mephisto blogging app. It's a bit on the slow side to boot - we have a number of things to optimize - but it does pull from the public Opscode and RightScale cookbooks on GitHub. Look into the ServerTemplate under the Repos tab and you'll see the definitions for the repositories.
But there's more! We've started to add Flickr-style machine tags to RightScale resources. A machine tag is a tag that follows a special triplet syntax of
namespace:predicate=value. The purpose of machine tags is to allow anyone or any external application to attach metadata to RightScale resources. Right now tags are available for Servers, Images, and EBS Snapshots. Rather than start attaching tags everywhere we preferred to start using tags ourselves for something concrete so we can ensure we have a good feature set. We're using tags now for snapshots to control the rotation of backup snapshots and to organize snapshots of multivolume stripes. We'll soon use tags to encode the features provided by images, to say whether they're RightImages, support RightLink, support the freezing of repositories, and so on. But most importantly we'll add API access to tags so you can attach your automation to tags. We'd love to hear from you what exactly we need to provide. In the meantime you can add tags to servers and use them in the UI to filter the list of servers you see.
Amazon has been on a tear lately, with few weeks going by without a new feature announcement. The most important news to come along in a long time has been the introduction of Virtual Private Clouds (VPC), and we're pleased to support them in this release, which means that you can create subnets in your VPC and launch servers into them. We're also now supporting the purchase of reserved instances straight from the RightScale dashboard, plus we'll show what you've purchased.
Finally, we've improved the speed of the site across the board, especially for larger accounts with lots of servers. We continue to appreciate feedback on anything that doesn't work well or that we should enhance; use the feedback link on our site or email email@example.com directly.
I hope you'll enjoy the new features as much as we do - yes, we eat our own dog food and manage RightScale using RightScale!

On When Men in Positions of Power Cheat Their Asses Off
Should we carve this one up and see whether we find patterns? Not now. Not now because we do know know the first thing about what was going on behind the scenes: we do not know what, if at all, prompted the person in question to pursue an extra-marital affair with a very attractive woman or women; we do not know what arrangements, if any, the parties involved had or had established intramurally.
What is clear is that a man with a stellar career in his field of knowledge kissed and fell and had his balls handed back to him on a plate. Is he the first? Will he be the last?
Now, we are left with pundits holding forth on public TV as to why should or should not rake said man over the coals for his poor judgement.
What is left is the fact that the United States is a very conservative nation when it comes to affairs of the body, the lower-abdomen that is, and public officials, be they men or women, have to understand that they are walking on eggshells and they will have to respond for whatever deviant behavior thy might have engaged in. Perhaps in some other cultures infidelity is the norm and wives know their husbands are spending the night with the other woman and no eyebrows are raised.
Does that give us, the common types, a free pass to follow suit and liason with colleagues on the job? Beats me. If you are going to do it, make sure you are not bringing third, fourth, or any extra parties into the mess, for when it comes out into the open you will have to step up and man up. And therein, dear reader, lies the secret of secrets...

Mauro, in the US we spend way too much time on things like this. I'm not sure if it is due to our generally prudish nature, our love of spectacle, or something else all together.ReplyDeleteReplies
Difficult to put your finger on it, Kyle. Maybe it's all the above, maybe it's part of being human, for what the other does will affect us immensely. We all love a good show, too. We love when we realize that the high and mighty have flaws just as we do.Delete

Hey peeps,
Now that many of us have FP V.3 armor, i was wondering if anyone can post ways that they have used to get the armor parts to sit right, I'm not talking about snaps, velcro etc...
but collar to backplate, cod to kidney.
with that said, does the cod and kidney just hang around your waist. or is it attached in someway? and is the collar held in placed with snaps thus making the back plate stay in place WITH the use of studs thru both collar and back plate, or does the back plate have snaps as well.
i hope it makes sence... :/

Alexandria and Travis were married at Old Hill Farms in Rock, Ga. on September 14. "It was just breath-taking," Alexandria said. "We loved how peaceful and quiet it was." The bride wore a taffeta ball gown with a pick up skirt, accessorized with an ivory sash and fingertip-length veil, while the groom wore a white button-up shirt, gray vest, and brown suit pants, accessorized with a patterned tie. "My wedding day was more than I had ever dreamed of it being, so I always reflect back," she said. "My favorite moment of the day was my soon-to-be husband's reaction the first time he saw me in my wedding dress." During the ceremony with 100 of their closest family and friends, the flower girls in tutus and floral headbands carried a "here comes the bride" sign down the aisle. The reception's decorations were all handmade! From the burlap table runners, silverware holders, and yes, even the centerpieces. The newlyweds' best advice?

so is all for sale signs made out o styrene or how do i tell???
thanks again haha
so is all for sale signs made out o styrene or how do i tell???
thanks again haha
The only way I would know to do is to bend it in a spot, if it whitens and doesnt break chances are its syrene, if it snaps its something else.
how thick is this styrene?
Styrene comes in various thicknesses. Some signs are made out of sintra. If you have a hobby town or some place around you that sells model train kits they should sell styrene. I wouldn't buy it there because those kits places like that sell are way too expensive, but it could give you an idea of what styrene looks and feels like.
most of the 'garage sale' signs are a very thin styrene material. Some of the larger signs can be either thicker styrene, or that corigated sign board material that looks like a plastic version of a carboard box. That is NOT styrene.
I went to a sign shop and asked them for their PVC board scraps. They sold me a bunch for 5 bucks, and it was enough to build my coustume. They were actually glad someone could use it. I build my gauntlets and armor and most of my JetPack with it. The only condition they gave me was to take them a picture of my completed costume.

.Yes, I made and it was biggest mistake what I have done in frame making.Now the combs are rubbish. They have so much brood combs.
thanks Dash12721, I figured as much really, that isn't bad time at all at what stage of the hive did you do this, just for reference.
The queen will go for the cut foundation every time. And is what you will run into is you end up with that whole supper and all of them you put the cut foundation in all those will have brood in them. And you wont get any honey. ;)

Comments about oreilly Building Mobile Applications with Java:
There are a number of typos and obscure expressions all over the book. I follow an instruction, I get an error. This happens at almost every step of the instructions. It's not just the WebOS link that is not correct. There are many. And often, there is a lack of explanation, and it's hard to connect one step to the next.We all pick a book to learn something. We see a few bad links, discrepancies in numbers, wrong facts, and poor explanations. That happens all the time. We don't make a big deal out of it as no one book is perfect. But there's got to be a limit to carelessness. It seems to me that this book is a poorly organized collection of the author's old notes. The editors should really read every line of the book and try to make the sample apps from scratch to see what I mean.If you already know much about the language and the development, you won't be having as much trouble as I did. But then you won't need this book because the contents of the book are not supposed to be challenging.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Just introductory and not really good.
By yenerm
from istanbul
I have been playing with gwt and mobile web stuff for some time. If you are not an absolutely beginner, I would definitely not recommend this book. I love Josh's work and posts so did not hesitate to buy the book. However if you had watched the webcasts the book will not add much on it. The book runs on a simple example and does not proceed to any further.Besides being introductory, I also find Josh's choise of Gwt-Mobile-Ui somewhat questionable. There are much more complete and capable libraries built for gwt (such as mgwt).Honestly even with the discount it was not worth what i paid. Ironic but the link to webos is wrong which was what Josh used to work for.

Here are a couple of pics of a Fett that was completed in two days. Yes, that's right....2 days. It's not screen accurate but was very well done with the time frame we had to work with. The only pieces that were finished at the beginning of this project was the helmet and all the soft parts such as the jumpsuit, spats, vest, etc. The other parts that we did have, but were not finished, was a broken gauntlet kit from ebay and a crappy jet pack ABS kit that came with what seemed like a million pieces.
The armor was created with Sintra, given all the battle damage and shaping, and then was painted to match the helmet. The logos on the chest and left shoulder are hand painted...no decals. The boots were made from an old pair of motorcycle boots utilizing epoxy, yarn, and paint. The gauntlets were assembled, painted, and given all the little bells and whistles such as the hose connectors, etc. The jet pack was a monster to assemble but came out fairly well. The shin tools are also made out of Sintra. The blaster is made out of PVC pipe and Sintra plastic.
I hope you enjoy and would love to hear any feedback on this project. Thanks for looking.
P.S. Sorry for the fuzzy pics.

I am back stateside after last week's trip to Singapore for Microsoft's audience targeting event, and I'm still recovering. Not only am I (slowly, painfully) readjusting to this time zone, I'm still processing everything I saw, experienced, and learned about the digital marketing ecosystem in Asia.
The abbreviated version for digital marketers with an Asian presence: There's plenty of opportunity but lots of work to be done.
I was fortunate enough to meet with several agency folks while there – from Omnicom (OMG, Annalect), Publicis (Zenith), and WPP (MEC). And I was struck by two overarching themes:

The Summer Academic Research Experience (SARE) pairs specially selected teens who come from academically disadvantaged homes with university mentors who guide them through a mini research project. The students gain valuable work skills, learn about scientific careers, get tutoring help, practice their writing, gather data for their projects and earn some cash for the future. The group will present their research findings during a poster session at the Johns Hopkins University medical campus on August 20 in the Bodian Room (1830 Building Rm 2-200) from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
"This is way better than flipping burgers," laughed Stephanie Keyaka, as she prepared an image of a Western Blot performed on Drosophila (fly) eye genes.
Keyaka is one of three high school students who worked in a biological chemistry laboratory this summer with financial support from Johns Hopkins University Institute for NanoBioTechnology and School of Medicine.
Keyaka, a rising 10th grader from The SEED School of Maryland, will be joined at the poster session by Christopher Miller, also a rising 10th grader from The SEED School of Maryland and Shaolin Holloman, a rising 11th grader at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute who is part of the Boys Hope Girls Hope of Baltimore.
The SEED School of Maryland is a public boarding school that accepts qualified children from across the state entering the 6th grade. Boys Hope Girls Hope is a privately funded nonprofit that offers students the chance to attend academically challenging public or private schools and the opportunity to live in the Boys Hope or Girls Hope home.
Miller studied the protein myosin in the cell biology laboratory of associate professor Douglas Robinson. Holloman worked in the cell biology lab of professor Carolyn Machamer on a project that sought to understand why the SARS coronavirus localized in the Golgi apparatus of the cell. Keyaka studied rhodopsin in the eyes of flies the lab of professor Craig Montell.
Help celebrate the accomplishments of our summer high school students who participated in the Summer Academic Research Experience. This event is free and open to the entire Hopkins community. Light refreshments will be served. Students, faculty and mentors will available to discus the projects.

Last February while at the Manufactured Concrete Products Exposition (MCPX) in Anaheim, Calif., I took one of the plant tours organized by the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA). These visits always provide me great insights on what's happening in our industry and give me great story ideas that eventually make their way into the magazine.
At this particular operation, I was impressed by the way the plant manager encouraged his team to help control product costs. Every day as employees enter the casting building to clock in, they pass a large display of the supplies and materials used in the operation. It's a wide array of inserts, anchors, ties, and caps. Next to each, the plant manager has posted their costs.
When asked about the display, our guide said it's a graphic reminder of the hidden costs of business. "Since we placed that board up there, there's been a lot less waste around here," he explained.
Producers, like this manager, have a great aptitude for controlling costs and waste in their operations. That's why I'm surprised that there hasn't been more than a minor grumbling about some of the recent announcements about the future of the MCPX show.
Beginning in 2009, the two lead associations that currently share in revenues from the MCPX show will separate to have their own shows. Indications are that NPCA will continue its path through a new show called IconEx. There's the rumor that the National Masonry Concrete Association will reunite with the Masonry Contractors Association of America to help revive Masonry Showcase. And with still other associations sprouting their own trade shows, soon we'll find one exhibition followed by another.
Why are we seeing this explosion of association-sponsored initiatives? Associations use these galas to hook up with their members. Successful shows can also help establish the association as the perceived leader of its part of the industry. But in reality, association management leads their members to believe these trade show efforts can bring in a lot of operating funds.
It's ironic that while our industry is lumbering through one massive consolidation after another in both the producer and manufacturer ranks, our associations' leaders are urging its respective members to allocate more money, time, and staff to more stand-alone trade shows.
Who really pays for these trade show expansion efforts? You do through various hidden costs.
Each manufacturer is under great pressure to participate in each event to "support" the association. I'm certain that they just increase their marketing budgets and pass the cost to producers in their products' cost.
Then there's the cost at the association level. Managing a trade show is a big job. Key staff members who were hired originally to facilitate important projects and initiatives are drawn into show operations. How cost-effective can it be to have a senior technical engineer be a floor monitor for a week or so? The result is the continuing request for more staff funds and increased dues to accomplish the work items of the association's various committees and task groups.
And consider your business costs. Producers can't afford to take the time to attend every worthwhile event. And as this happens, there will be fewer and fewer quality leads for the exhibitors who attend. And then there is the added expenses of attending the association's national convention, which is often held at a different time and place.
But these worries are for the future. I look forward to seeing you at MCPX. Hopefully, you'll be interested in learning more about our editor's trip to bauma in April. We'll have information at our booth, or you can turn to page 13 in this month's issue.

Beautiful cat!Originally Posted by CougarKeeper
I miss my cat, I had her for 13 years. I had to put her down due to a brain tumor 3 years ago. That day really sucked. She was the only cat that I've ever had that would "talk" to you. She would meow back if you said anything to her, or if she wanted something (food or attention). Definitely ms. personality.

The Canadiens have acquired defenceman Mike Weaver from the Florida Panthers in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick in 2015.
Weaver, a 5-foot-10, 183-pounder who shoots right, has played 55 games with the Panthers this season, picking up six assists and 23 penalty minutes to go along with a minus-9. He has 101 hits and 94 blocked shots while averaging 18:47 of ice time. Four Canadiens have more hits this season than Weaver: Alexei Emelin (137), Douglas Murray (118), P.K. Subban (111) and Lars Eller (110). Four Canadiens have more blocked shots: Josh Gorges (171), Andrei Markov (140), Subban (100) and Douglas Murray (97).
In 585 career regular-season games, the 35-year-old Weaver has 7-79-86 totals and 213 PIM. (Photo above is of Weaver checking Habs' Max Pacioretty during game last season.)
"This is actually my first time being traded," Weaver said on the Canadiens' website. "I was at Pittsburgh's training camp and I was picked up on waivers by Vancouver and that's the closest I've been to a trade. Fortunately over the years I haven't really had to deal with this but it's an exciting situation going into an Original Six team that's in a high spot in the standings and in a playoff position. I'm really excited to be coming to Montreal."
The Panthers also placed former Canadien Scott Gomez on waivers Tuesday. In 29 games this season, the 34-year-old Gomez has 1-7-8 totals and is minus-9. It was also reported Tuesday afternoon that the Panthers had acquired goalie Roberto Luongo from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for goalie Jacob Markstrom and forward Shawn Matthias.
The NHL trade deadline is at 3 p.m. Wednesday.
The Canadiens held an optional practice Tuesday afternoon in Segunda, Calif., with seven players taking part at the beginning. Goaltender Dustin Tokarski was joined by Lars Eller, Ryan White, Francis Bouillon, George Parros, Brandon Prust and Michael Bournival. After undergoing some medical treatments for his lower-body injury, goalie Carey Price joined them. Price, who has missed all four games since the Olympic break with the injury, spent about 15 minutes on the ice with goalie coach Stephane Waite. He plans to skate on his own again Wednesday.
Coming off a 2-1 loss in Los Angeles Monday night, the Canadiens continue their four-game West Coast road trip Wednesday night when they visit the Anaheim Ducks (10 p.m., TSN-HABS, RDS, TSN Radio 690). Peter Budaj will make his fifth straight start in goal replacing Price.
"It felt good to get on the ice," Price told reporters in California after practice. "It's coming down to the important part of the year and I want to go into this stretch 100 per cent. I'm feeling good and progressing. The last 20 games of the year are a real mental grind and I want to make sure I'm prepared for the rest of the year and the playoffs. We still have a lot of hockey left this year and I want to make sure I'm good to go. It's manageable but I want it to be 100 per cent before we go into the important stages of the year."
After Wednesday's game, the Canadiens travel to Phoenix to face the Coyotes on Thursday (9 p.m., TSN-HABS, RDS, TSN Radio 690) before wrappingup the trip Saturday in San Jose against the Sharks (10 p.m., CBC, RDS, TSN Radio 690).

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
Toyin Olupona posted a career best and an NCAA provisional en route to victory in the 55-meter dash and Christie Elwin won her third pole vault title of the season to lead the Lady Volunteer track and field team Friday at the Tennessee Indoor Classic at Stokely Athletics Center.
After recording the fastest time in the prelims at 7.02, Olupona kicked it up another notch in the finals and blazed to a personal-record clip of 6.90 to hit the tape first just ahead of 6.95 and 6.97 readings from Alabama State's Jennifer Morgan and Tennessee teammate Dee Dee Trotter. With the winning time, the UT sophomore from Orillia, Canada, became the ninth-quickest Lady Vol ever in the 55m dash, rising from her previous PR of 6.94, which came early last season.
As for Trotter, the sophomore from Decatur, Ga., posted back-to-back
career toppers in the 55, charting a 7.04 in the prelims and then the 6.97
in the finals to obliterate her old mark of 7.29. Already a national
provisional qualifier in the 200- and 400-meter dashes, Trotter was just
shy of the 6.94 provisional required in the straight sprint.
In the pole vault, Elwin grabbed the seventh indoor triumph of her career, clearing 12-5.50/3.70m to take top honors. The win wasn't all that the NCAA provisional qualifier had in mind, however, as the senior from Adelaide, Australia, came up just short on three tries at 12-10/3.91m. She barely brushed the bar on her final attempt, dashing what would have been an improvement on her 12-9.50/3.90m school record as well as a new Stokely Athletics Center mark.
In the throws events, the meet was doubly good for junior Janine Tessarzik, as the Altamont, N.Y., product nailed a couple of career-best measurements in the weight throw and shot put, respectively. Tessarzik started the day with a heave of 57-10.50/17.64m to finish as the top collegiate and second overall in the weight throw. If not for a facility-record of 64-11.50/19.80m by former Indiana State standout Jennifer Folz, it would have been Tessarzik who displaced ex-UT standout Diane Slinden as the Stokely Athletics Center record bearer.
In the shot put competition, Folz also took first prize, stretching the tape to 50-2/15.29m. Tessarzik again accepted runner-up accolades, nailing a personal-best throw of 43-11.75/13.40m. It marked the first time in her career that she had eclipsed 42 feet in the shot.
"The meet was exactly what we hoped it would be - a good tune-up for the SEC Championships," said Lady Vol Head Coach J.J. Clark. "The personal bests by Dee Dee Trotter are good indications that she is ready to run fast in the 200 and 400. It was also good to see Janine Tessarzik come up with a one-foot PR in the weight throw and another career best in the shot. Toyin Olupona also continues to show consistency in producing solid improvements in the short sprint."
Elsewhere, sophomore Lauren McNeil (Easton, Pa.) grabbed second in the pole vault with a personal best of 11-7.75/3.55m; sophomore Kendra Rhyne (Andersonville, Tenn.) was third in the vault at 11-1.75/3.40m; junior Kelly Flowers (Westerville, Ohio) was fourth in the high jump at 5-2.50/1.59m; and sophomore Jamie Rebella (Merrill, Wis.), redshirt freshman Jessica Andrews (Rockford, Tenn.) and true freshman Jessica Reust (Knoxville, Tenn.) forged a tie for fourth in the vault at 10-2/3.10m.
It will be a short practice week for the Lady Vols before they travel to Gainesville, Fla., for the SEC Indoor Championships Feb. 28-March 2 at the University of Florida's O'Connell Center. The meet begins with the pentathlon on Friday and concludes on Sunday afternoon.

Linux Mint 12 promises interesting changes!
8 comments:
This looks very interesting indeed. It also looks like an opportunity for Mint to really distinguish themselves beyond "Ubuntu Improved."ReplyDelete
I think I'll like a 'cafeteria' style desktop. It sort of changes the WYSIWYG style distro to just 'Make it Yours'.ReplyDelete
I had a Chat with the developer of PinguyOS some months back and he said he was trying to best Linux Mint 12 to the release. He has already released the Pre-Alpha of the Gnome-Shell version. And probably will release the Mate version too.ReplyDelete
I personally think PinguyOS version of Gnome-Shell would be better as it would be ready all ends up.
Lets See :-)
I'll have to wait and see, but I personally think Fedora is as good as it gets when it comes to GNOME Shell... Just a few days remaining before Verne goes live!ReplyDelete
I tried Fedora 15 but just couldn't get to like it. I liked Gnome-Shell the first moment I saw it as It was a different experience but Fedora was crashing left right and center. I have tried Gnome-Shell 3.2 on Sabayon 7 and it is good. So will try Fedora 16 and see their implementation of Gnome-Shell .ReplyDelete
Interesting you would say so, as I had the exact opposite experience. On Sabayon 7, the accounts module would not work at all, freezing every time I tried to set up my gmail account. Updates worked partially, but I found it crazy that installing Firefox could take in excess of 40 minutes... That's simply not for me (not that GNOME Shell is related to that at all, though).ReplyDelete
On the contrary, Fedora 15 was rock solid since the Beta, never had a single crash on it.
Amazing how different hardware can play so differently.
"Amazing how different hardware can play so differently."ReplyDelete
It surprises me too, but my bigger reaction is concern. I often find myself reaching the opposite conclusion of a reviewer I respect. That my experience varies so wildly concerns me.
When stable behavior is hardware-dependent it doesn't bode well for Linux's future. Never mind missing codecs or country-dependent IP which results in poor multimedia performance. I cannot recommend Linux to my family or friends unless I've vetted their hardware setup first.
I also find Fedora 15 (and Ubuntu 2010) to be the most stable things out there. No KDE Linux I've tried were especially unstable, but I find other things to dislike.
Keep up the great site and ignore my grumblings, please.
Thanks for your comments, danny8! No need to ignore anything, keep 'em coming, different perspectives and experiences help us all!ReplyDelete

As an important next step in its ongoing efforts to provide world-class entertainment, Blizzard has purchased IGN Pro League technology and assets from IGN. Along with this purchase, Blizzard is bringing onboard members of the IPL staff as the foundation for a new team based in San Francisco whose primary focus will be on creating high-quality web and mobile content in support of Blizzard games, while some IPL staff have joined Blizzard's existing eSports team.
"This new team will help us to further develop the rich media experiences that extend the fun and engagement of our games online," said Itzik Ben-Bassat, Blizzard's executive vice president of publishing. "This is a team of passionate gamers with a proven track record, and we're looking forward to now leveraging their expertise and technology to support a variety of online efforts."
Regarding the transaction, Peer Schneider, executive vice president of IGN, stated, "With the continuing evolution of the eSports space and the renewed focus on our core media brand, we made the decision to sell the IGN Pro League technology and assets and become agnostic in our competitive gaming coverage. Following Blizzard's acquisition of IPL assets, IGN will partner with multiple organizations and cover their events."
In collaboration with the world's premier eSports organizations, we're rolling out a brand-new World Championship Series this year that establishes a unified global ranking system for StarCraft II eSports. What does this mean for players and eSports fans? Check out the press release and visit www.starcraft2.com/wcs to learn more.

There are only two ways to answer a question like yours:
1. The Colt Officers' Model is a piece of junk, so buy the XDS.
2. The XDS is a piece of junk, so buy the Colt Officers' Model.
Friend, it is absurd to ask us to make your choice for you.
Go find a shooting range that rents time on various guns, try them both, and decide for yourself.
If you do that, you will probably find that you can shoot neither of your possible choices well. That's because small, powerful pistols are very difficult to shoot accurately and effectively.
You have to be pretty good with full-size, full-weight pistols, before you can successfully transition to a shortie.
Further, neither of your choices is appropriate for hunting. They are close-range, self-defense guns.

See my thread on "Are Kahr's junk?..."
Two of the three local dealers told me the new Kahr's are poorly manufactured. He did say the older ones were made better, and the 9mm's had some loading issues with certain types of HP ammo. And, he said the .40's didn't seem to have problems.
Some of what you are seeing may just be break-in issues. Everyone has told me you need to get through 200 rounds to break it in.
Interested to hear the outcome...I have a used PM9 on the way.

Washington • Former CIA director David Petraeus told the woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair to stop sending threatening emails to a family friend, Jill Kelley, after a federal investigation determined who was behind the harassment.
The move by Petraeus came in midsummer after Kelley contacted a friend who worked as an FBI agent in Tampa, Fla., where she lived, beginning a process that would eventually force the former four-star former general to resign last week.
The new information, provided by two law enforcement officials, helps fill in a summer timeline when Petraeus's email account became the subject of a federal investigation into whether national security had been compromised during his affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.
Broadwell, a former Harvard University researcher who focused her dissertation on Petraeus's military career, hired longtime Washington criminal defense attorney Robert Muse, the lawyer said Monday.
Attempts to reach Broadwell since Petraeus resigned Friday have been unsuccessful.
Federal investigators have said Broadwell sent a series of e-mails to Kelley from an anonymous account telling her to stop behavior she saw as overly friendly toward Petraeus, or she would be exposed. The law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the e-mails indicate Broadwell felt jealous of the other woman.
The e-mails did not specifically cite Kelley's friendship with Petraeus, according to a person close to Kelley, who also spoke on condition of anonymity. She did not know who was sending them and why.
Kelley contacted her friend in the FBI, who took her concerns to the bureau. Investigators were later able to trace the emails to Broadwell.
In Broadwell's account, investigators found emails from Petraeus, and given the personal nature of some of them, believed at first that they were being sent by someone who had hacked into the CIA director's account.
Kelley was informed that Broadwell was the sender, although she told investigators that she did not know the woman, according to the person close to Kelley.
At some point, Kelley told Petraeus about the emails and named Broadwell as the person who had sent them. That may have prompted the CIA director to send his own emails to Broadwell, telling her to stop the harassment, the law enforcement officials said.
People close to Petraeus say his affair with Broadwell ended four months ago, around the time he emailed her about the harassment.
When confronted by FBI agents about the emails, Broadwell acknowledged the affair with Petraeus and turned over her computer to investigators. Petraeus, who has been married to Holly Petraeus for 38 years, also acknowledged the extramarital relationship in his interview with the FBI.
By late summer, the FBI informed the Justice Department about the case. Federal prosecutors decided there was not enough evidence to file charges against Petraeus, who was interviewed by investigators during the week of Oct. 21. Broadwell was interviewed by agents for the last time the week before.
The FBI agent in Tampa had been taken off the investigation by that time. He was frustrated by the investigation's apparent lack of progress, according to the person close to Kelley.
But the agent recently got in touch with the Washington office of Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., to express concern. Reichert then contacted Rep. Eric Cantor, R- Va., the House Republican leader.
"I was contacted by an F.B.I. employee concerned that sensitive, classified information may have been compromised and made certain Director Mueller was aware of these serious allegations and the potential risk to our national security," Cantor said in a statement issued Saturday. He referred to FBI Director Robert Mueller.

We have a gas grill and use it year-round, especially to make these tender juicy kabobs. The lamb marinates overnight, and the attractive skewers can be quickly assembled the next day. —Kathy Herrola of Martinez, California
Recommended: 38 Greek-Style Dinners
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound boneless lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 16 cherry tomatoes
- 1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
- In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, oregano, oil and garlic. Set aside 1/4 cup for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add lamb; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
- Drain lamb, discarding marinade in bag. On eight metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread lamb, tomatoes, green pepper and onion. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly.
- Grill kabobs, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 5-6 minutes on each side or until lamb reaches desired doneness and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning occasionally and basting with reserved marinade. Yield: 4 servings.
