Removing the IHS from the Northwood-D
Howto by Liquid3D @ 2003-09-09
I believe the method described in this howto, may be the safest (albeit time consuming) for removing the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader), from your P4.
Howto by Liquid3D @ 2003-09-09
|As for results, I've been running my machine now with my IHS-less processor for over three hours straight now, all the while running Prime95. My processor is currently sitting a full 2°c cooler than before I removed its IHS
|Prooof is in the sanding. Yesterday in the same Ambient temp (my air conditoned room) my overclocking temp was 45C to 49C at 3.6GHz (300FSB) today same ambeint temp, and OC conditions, and the temp's are now 38C, and haven't gone above 39C. That's 6C to 11C temp drop!

I removed the IHS accidentally :-0....The biggest concern I have is that the IHS added thickness to the CPU; and the heatsinks are designed with that thickness in mind. So now, the heatsink applies much less pressure to the core...

Reporting of Severe Staphylococcus aureus Infections Effective July 1
Indiana Epidemiology Newsletter
May 2008
Jean Svendsen, RN, BS
ISDH Chief Nurse Consultant
Effective July 1, 2008, Indiana health care providers will be required to immediately report cases of severe Staphylococcus aureus infections in previously healthy people to local health departments (LHD). The LHDs will investigate these cases using case investigation forms provided by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH).
In response to political and public interest in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the ISDH enacted a 90-day emergency rule requiring laboratory reporting of MRSA infections from January 1-March 30, 2008. A detailed report describing data from this surveillance will be posted in the near future on the ISDH Web site.
The laboratory surveillance data were consistent with what is already known about MRSA infections. The laboratory data did not provide insight about several significant factors regarding the burden of MRSA infections. The study did not differentiate healthcare-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) from community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA), nor was severity of infection noted. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns were not studied due to the low number of laboratories reporting. Additional resources would also be needed to sustain laboratory reporting.
The limitations of the laboratory surveillance data allowed for the development and implementation of a more useful way to study the burden of MRSA infections in Indiana. Most cases of MRSA infections identified in the laboratory surveillance data were skin and soft tissue infections, which are typically not life threatening, whereas invasive MRSA infections are life threatening. While invasive HA-MRSA infections are typically already being addressed by health care professionals, most invasive CA-MRSA infections are not. These are the cases that are reported in the media and can cause concern. These issues can be addressed by specifically studying severe Staphylococcus aureus infections in the state while conserving public health resources.
Since severe infections can be caused by MRSA and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), the reporting of severe Staphylococcus aureus in previously healthy people will allow for better data collection to:
- Measure the burden and severity of staphylococcal infection
- Provide information on antimicrobial susceptibility patterns
- Identify populations at risk for severe infection
- Provide information to formulate prevention and control measures
- Utilize resources judiciously
The reporting rule, case investigation form, and detailed reporting instructions for health care providers and the LHDs will be posted on the ISDH Web site at http://www.statehealth.in.gov/ by July 1, 2008.

The formula leaves something to be desired, but I know that's something that comes with the territory of big glitter. Of course, that means another chunky manicure. But it looked really good!
Magic Cake consists of different neon glitters, big pink hexes and square, neon blue and lime green. There's also a shimmer. It's a really fun glitter combination and with some more careful application, could look less "thick" :) I think I did one coat of Magic Cake and then started manually placing glitter afterwards.

Three Daughters in Zabrze
Get Three Daughters in Zabrze right now.
Three Daughters in Zabrze is a lovely coming of age story about the Claytons and their three beautiful daughters. While Heather experiences her first stirrings of passion and desire, blossoming before our eyes, her parents re-discover the passion between themselves as they watch their daughters grow up and leave home.
DVD nominated by Adult Video News for Best Classic DVD, 2004 Extra's: The best extra from my point of view was the 27 minute long scrap book with a director's commentary. Candida always has a lot of personal memories for her projects and this one was no different, touching on a number of aspects from the technical (although rarely) to the friendships she developed (frequent) and how things progressed as the movie was made. There was also a commentary for the last scene, where Candida pointed out a myriad of details of how the movie ended. - Don Houston, AdultDVDTalk.com
This sensitive story of budding sexuality was selected for special screening at the Annual National Conference of the American Association for Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).
Gary Windo's original soundtrack won that year's Best Music Award from the New York Adult Critics Association.
A timeless piece that continues to touch the hearts of viewers. DVD EXTRAS:

Hear what the critics have to say about "Three Daughters in Zabrze ":
Jamie Bernard, NEW YORK POST - "Three Daughters in Zabrze is an affectionate spicey slice of life. Writer/director Candida Royalle treats her characters with respect and especially looks out for the women. It's the feminist age of adult movies."
PLAYBOY - "The erotic sensibility makes most of the current competition look like greasy kid stuff."
PENTHOUSE - "A sensitive portrayal of a woman's sexual awakenings that explodes in to torrid sexuality".
Scott Haslett, NY NIGHTLIFE - "Complete class! Realistic eroticism with taste."
Tim Beckley, GLOBAL COMM - "Elegant! Candida makes the Dom Perignon of adult video for couples."
From Viewers:
"I am writing to let you know how thrilled we are to have discovered someone like you who is working hard to bring intelligence and good taste and a sense of reality to the adult film industry. My wife and I saw Three Daughters in Zabrze and were completely enchanted by the warmth and tenderness of the relationships between the actors involved. We were particularly impressed by the obvious concern on the part of the male actors (and the director!) for the sexual needs of their female partners in the lovemaking scenes." -Mr. And Mrs. F. Rye, NY
"Three Daughters in Zabrze is a first-class film. I especially liked that it was built around a family and home atmosphere."
-Mr. CZ of Highland, IL
"Hats off to Candida! Three Daughters in Zabrze moved me more than any other (adult film) for its sheer beauty alone. Some day soon (I hope) this film will surely be rated 'R' and shown in any theatre. It's the only adult film I have seen that merits an 'R' rating. Sure, there is steamy sex, but it's done so naturally and uncontrived. It's life! We should be so lucky to have such passion in all our dreary lives."

Haskell package guidelines (Italiano)
Haskell on Arch Linux
Haskell is well supported on Arch Linux, with GHC and other key tools available via pacman, and 87% percent of hackage.haskell.org library database available via AUR.
The status of all Haskell packages in Arch Linux
The community around Haskell on Arch is also active and well organized.
- 1 Community
- 2 Haskell Packages
- 3 Direction and strategy
- 4 Guidelines
- 5 Haskell on Arch: current state
- 6 Building all of Hackage
- 7 Automatic local building of Hackage Packages with cabal2arch using Bauerbill
The main resources for the Arch/Haskell community to interact and discuss are:
- #arch-haskell irc channel @ freenode.org
- Good for quick discussion and planning
- email@example.com mailing list
- Broader announcements, and automated updates
- Arch Haskell Weekly News
- A blog announcing our progress to the outside world.
Haskell Packages
The core Haskell tools are available in the core system (extra):
Our policy is for [extra] to provide the Haskell platform, and popular Haskell applications.
A huge number (almost 2000) packages built from http://hackage.haskell.org
These generally improve on installing directly from Hackage as they resolve required C libraries. They can be installed as, for example:
sudo paktahn -S haskell-csv
Anything not found here can be installed via cabal-install direct from Hackage.
Direction and strategy
The strategy for Haskell on Arch Linux is to support the Haskell platform suite in [extra], and to track Hackage via AUR. This has been adopted as an official policy document.
In almost all cases cabalised Haskell packages can be automatically translated into Arch packages, via the cabal2arch tool.
It is strongly recommended that you use this tool, as it implements the packaging policy for Haskell packages. These packages are primarily managed by Don Stewart.
Development version:
- cabal install cabal2arch
Most things on http://hackage.haskell.org that are packageable, are already in AUR.
If not, download and build cabal2arch, as below, and use that to create the package. This will ensure it follows standard naming, dependency and installation conventions. Drop by #arch-haskell to let us know what is going on.
cabal2arch: an example
This example illustrates how to create a new package with cabal2arch. We'll make a new package for the delimited continuations library, CC-delcont:
First, find the hackage page for CC-delcont, then identify the link to the .cabal file. Use this link as an argument to cabal2arch:
$ cd /tmp $ cabal2arch http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/CC-delcont/0.2/CC-delcont.cabal Using /tmp/tmp.Ig0H8jCOyO/CC-delcont.cabal Fetching http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/CC-delcont/0.2/CC-delcont-0.2.tar.gz Created /tmp/haskell-cc-delcont.tar.gz
Checking what was created:
$ ls haskell-cc-delcont haskell-cc-delcont.tar.gz
The .tar.gz is a zipped PKGBUILD ready to upload to AUR. You can now inspect the PKGBUILD and install script for the library:
# Contributor: Arch Haskell Team <firstname.lastname@example.com> # Package generated by cabal2arch 0.6.1 pkgname=haskell-cc-delcont pkgrel=1 pkgver=0.2 pkgdesc="Delimited continuations and dynamically scoped variables" url="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/CC-delcont" license=('custom:OtherLicense') arch=('i686' 'x86_64') makedepends=() depends=('ghc' 'haskell-cabal') options=('strip') source=(http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/CC-delcont/0.2/CC-delcont-0.2.tar.gz) install=haskell-cc-delcont.install md5sums=('e52149fca9bf76330a7c159917152790') build() { cd ${srcdir}/CC-delcont-0.2 runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/${pkgname} || return 1 runhaskell Setup build || return 1 runhaskell Setup haddock || return 1 runhaskell Setup register --gen-script || return 1 runhaskell Setup unregister --gen-script || return 1 install -D -m744 register.sh ${pkgdir}/usr/share/haskell/$pkgname/register.sh install -m744 unregister.sh ${pkgdir}/usr/share/haskell/$pkgname/unregister.sh install -d -m755 $pkgdir/usr/share/doc/ghc/libraries ln -s /usr/share/doc/${pkgname}/html ${pkgdir}/usr/share/doc/ghc/libraries/CC-delcont runhaskell Setup copy --destdir=${pkgdir} || return 1 install -D -m644 LICENSE ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE || return 1 rm -f ${pkgdir}/usr/share/doc/${pkgname}/LICENSE }
It follows the conventions for Haskell packages:
- Maintainer is by default the Arch Haskell team.
- Libraries are prefixed with "haskell-"
- "core" and "extra" Haskell libraries are not included as explicit dependencies, since ghc provides them
- It uses cabal to generate a post-install register/unregister script, with a standard name.
- We use haddock to build the documentation.
- Profiling versions of the library aren't currently installed (TODO)
All Haskell libraries should follow these naming conventions, and using the cabal2arch tool will ensure this is the case.
Inspect the bundle, and confirm you can build and install it:
$ makepkg -s $ makepkg -i
And we're ready to go. Now your .tar.gz is ready to upload to AUR.
See the discussion on the use of "provides" here.
Uploading the the Haskell repository
This section is out of date
The following (ad hoc) script is currently used to upload packages after running cabal2arch to the respository, and keep it in sync:
#!/bin/sh set -e makepkg -i scp *-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz code.haskell.org:/srv/code/arch/x86_64/ repo-add /home/dons/haskell.db.tar.gz *.pkg.tar.gz rm -rf *.tar.gz pkg src pwd=`pwd` dir=`basename $pwd` cd .. scp -r $dir code.haskell.org:/srv/code/arch/x86_64/ scp $HOME/haskell.db.tar.gz code.haskell.org:/srv/code/arch/x86_64/
This is to be used by those with arch-haskell repository write permissions.
Guidelines for Libraries
In general, each .cabal file should map to one PKGBUILD. The following conventions hold:
- libraries have their cabal names prefixed with "haskell-"
- all haskell dependencies are statically linked, so can go in the makedepends field.
- all libraries have a dependency on 'ghc'
- libraries don't need to have explicit dependencies on core Haskell packages -- these come in the 'ghc' package. (e.g. array, base, containers, random, process etc).
- be careful about dependencies from gtk2hs: cairo, svg, glib, gtk. These are all provided by the 'gtk2hs' package, not , e.g. "haskell-cairo"
- we want to resolve dependencies with a fixed constraint to base>=3.0
- be careful about dependencies on the libraries provided by the basic 'ghc' package, which include:
ALUT-220.127.116.11 cgi-3001.1.5.1 network-188.8.131.52 regex-base-0.72.0.1 Cabal-126.96.36.199 containers-0.1.0.1 old-locale-126.96.36.199 regex-compat-0.71.0.1 GLUT-220.127.116.11 directory-126.96.36.199 old-time-18.104.22.168 regex-posix-0.72.0.2 HUnit-18.104.22.168 fgl-220.127.116.11 packedstring-0.1.0.0 stm-220.127.116.11 OpenAL-188.8.131.52 filepath-220.127.116.11 parallel-184.108.40.206 template-haskell-18.104.22.168 OpenGL-184.108.40.206 haskell-src-18.104.22.168 parsec-126.96.36.199 time-22.214.171.124 QuickCheck-18.104.22.168 haskell98-126.96.36.199 pretty-22.214.171.124 unix-188.8.131.52 array-0.1.0.0 hpc-0.5.0.0 process-22.214.171.124 xhtml-3000.0.2.1 base-220.127.116.11 html-18.104.22.168 random-22.214.171.124 bytestring-0.9.0.1 mtl-220.127.116.11 readline-18.104.22.168
These libraries don't need explicit dependencies to be set. cabal2arch solves all these constraints for us.
Registering Haskell libraries is done via a register hook:
build() { cd ${srcdir}/cabal2arch-0.1 runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=/usr || return 1 runhaskell Setup build || return 1 -- generate register scripts runhaskell Setup register --gen-script || return 1 runhaskell Setup unregister --gen-script || return 1 install -D -m744 register.sh ${pkgdir}/usr/share/haskell/$pkgname/register.sh install -m744 unregister.sh ${pkgdir}/usr/share/haskell/$pkgname/unregister.sh runhaskell Setup copy --destdir=${pkgdir} || return 1 -- usual Haskell BSD3 license isnt' official install -D -m644 LICENSE ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE || return 1 }
- Examples:
haskell-zlib, haskell-mersenne-random
Guidelines for Programs
- Have their normal name. Examples:
hmp3, xmonad, ghc, cabal-install
- Be careful about dynamically linked runtime dependencies on C. For example, all GHC-produced binaries
have a runtime dependency on 'gmp'. OpenGL or GtT-based binaries will have additional 'depends'. cabal2arch will attempt to work out the C dependencies, but there may be others implied by Haskell dependencies that are missed.
- Use executable stripping, --enable-executable-stripping. cabal2arch will do this automatically.
Haskell on Arch: current state
* http://www.galois.com/~dons/arch-haskell-status.html
There's another > 550 Haskell packages in AUR.
Building all of Hackage
The following simple script, with cabal-install and cabal2arch installed, will do a simple run over all the Haskell packages on haskell.org, creating arch packages for them. Before you start it is worthwhile removing all haskell packages, and reinstalling them. And then editing your unpacked haskell package directory to remove base libraries -- you probably don't want to install them.
#!/bin/sh cabal update tmpdir=`mktemp -d` finaldir=`mktemp -d` cd $tmpdir tar xzf $HOME/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar.gz for dir in * ; do if [ ! -d $dir ] ; then continue fi cd $dir lib=`ls --color=never -1 | tail -1` echo "************** Building package for $dir-$lib" cd $lib cabal2arch *.cabal > $dir.log 2>&1 cd `find . -type d -a ! -name '.'` if makepkg -sm > ../$dir.log 2>&1 ; then echo "OK: " $dir-$lib cp *.pkg.tar.gz $finaldir/ sudo pacman -A *.pkg.tar.gz rm *.pkg.tar.gz rm -rf pkg src *.tar.gz cd .. cp -R `find . -type d -a ! -name '.'` $finaldir/ cp *.tar.gz $finaldir/ else echo "Failed" fi cd $tmpdir done echo `ls $finaldir/*pkg* | wc -l` "build packages in $finaldir" echo "Now: scp -r $finaldir/* code.haskell.org:/srv/code/arch/$MACHTYPE/"
Automatic local building of Hackage Packages with cabal2arch using Bauerbill
Although there are a number of haskell packages on AUR, there will always be outdated packages on AUR. If this happens and you want to create a fully updated package you would normally use cabal2arch. This however can become painful/time consuming if you have numerous packages with different dependencies (some of which may/may not be updated). Instead you can automatic this process by using Bauerbill which has the --hackage flag, allowing you to create AUR packages from Hackage locally. Below is an example of some common commands
bauerbill -S --hackage [pkgs] : build [pkgs] directly from Hackage* bauerbill -Si --hackage [pkgs] : look up information about [pkgs] bauerbill -Ss --hackage [args] : search for [args] bauerbill -Qu --hackage : list upgradable Hackage packages
Syncing packages with the --hackage flag will interactively download all dependencies of the package from Hackage, convert them using cabal2arch and then build/install them (while checking dependencies). You can combine this with the --aur flag to give precedence to Hackage packages that are on AUR

Hello everyone! Here's another compilation of what I wore this week. Make sure you click on the links in the credits to shop the looks! As you can see, black was used in excess and the warm weather we've been so used to here in LA has been hiding. But that's alright with me because it's given me a chance to layer a bit more. I love to experiment with layers just like any fashion lover and sometimes I feel robbed of this experience in LA. On the other hand, I love the sun a bit more than layering so I'll stop while I'm ahead...
In other news, Spring Break is one short week away! I'm planning on spending plenty of time at the beach and tanning my fluorescent white legs. Marcus and I are also going to try to take a short road trip. Speaking of trips...our tickets are booked and ready for another summer in Sweden with a short pit stop in New York! We are so excited to get away for while and to see our friends and family. :)

Posted on 08/26/2003 12:05:29 AM PDT by DoctorZIn
The regime is working hard to keep the news about the protest movment in Iran from being reported.
From jamming satellite broadcasts, to prohibiting news reporters from covering any demonstrations to shutting down all cell phones and even hiring foreign security to control the population, the regime is doing everything in its power to keep the popular movement from expressing its demand for an end of the regime.
These efforts by the regime, while successful in the short term, do not resolve the fundamental reasons why this regime is crumbling from within.
Iran is a country ready for a regime change. If you follow this thread you will witness, I believe, the transformation of a nation. This daily thread provides a central place where those interested in the events in Iran can find the best news and commentary.
Please continue to join us here, post your news stories and comments to this thread.
Thanks for all the help.

Cobalt is a naturally occurring element in the earth's crust. It is a very small part of our environment and very small amounts are needed for many animals and humans to stay healthy.
Cobalt poisoning can occur when you are exposed to large amounts of cobalt. There are three basic ways that cobalt can cause poisoning. You can swallow too much of it, breathe too much into your lungs, or have it come in constant contact with your skin.
Recently, cobalt poisoning has been seen from the wear and tear of some cobalt/chromium metal-on-metal hip implants. This type of implant is an artificial hip socket that is created by fitting a metal ball into a metal cup. Sometimes metal particles (cobalt) are released as the metal ball grinds against the metal cup when you walk. These metal particles (ions) can get released into the hip socket and sometimes the bloodstream, causing cobalt toxicity.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Alternative Names
Cobalt chloride; Cobalt oxide; Cobalt sulfate
Poisonous Ingredient
Where Found
Cobalt is a component of vitamin B12, an essential vitamin.
Cobalt may also be found in:
- Alloys
- Batteries
- Chemistry/crystal sets
- Drill bits and machine tools
- Dyes and pigments (Cobalt Blue)
- Magnets
- Some metal-on-metal hip implants
- Tires
This list may not be all-inclusive.
Usually you have to be exposed to high levels of cobalt for weeks to months to have symptoms. However, it is possible to have some symptoms if you swallow a large amount of cobalt at once.
The most worrisome form of cobalt poisoning occurs when you breathe too much into your lungs. This usually will only happen in industrial settings where large amounts of drilling, polishing, or other processes release fine particles containing cobalt into the air. Breathing in this cobalt dust can cause a lot of chronic lung problems. If you breathe in this substance for long periods, you will likely develop problems breathing similar to asthma or more permanent problems, such as pulmonary fibrosis.
Cobalt poisoning that occurs from constant contact with your skin will likely cause irritation and rashes that will go away slowly.
Swallowing a large amount of absorbable cobalt at one time is very rare and likely not too dangerous. This may cause nausea and vomiting. However, absorbing a large amount of cobalt over longer periods of time can lead to serious health problems such as:
Cardiomyopathy (a problem where your heart becomes big and floppy and has problems pumping blood)
Possible nerve problems
Thickening of your blood
Thyroid problems
Home Treatment
If you or someone you know has been exposed to cobalt, the first step is to leave the area and get fresh air. If cobalt came in contact with the skin, wash the area thoroughly.
Before Calling Emergency
If possible, determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition (for example, is the person awake or alert?)
- Name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
However, DO NOT delay calling for help if this information is not immediately available.
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to expect at the emergency room
If you are brought to the emergency room, it is likely because you either swallowed a large amount of cobalt or because you are starting to feel sick from long-term exposure.
Treatment for skin contact: Since these rashes are rarely serious, very little will be done. The area may be washed and a skin cream may be prescribed.
Treatment for lung involvement: Breathing problems will be treated based on your symptoms. Breathing treatments and medications to treat swelling and inflammation in your lungs may be prescribed. X-rays may be taken.
Treatment for swallowed cobalt: The health care team will treat your symptoms and order some blood tests. In the rare cases where you have large levels of cobalt in your blood, hemodialysis is performed and medications (antidotes) to reverse the effects of the poison may be given.
Treatment for signs of cobalt toxicity from a metal on metal hip implant may include removing the implant and replacing it with a traditional hip implant.
Expectations (prognosis)
Persons who become sick from being exposed to large amounts of cobalt on one single occasion usually recover and have no long-term complications.
The symptoms and problems associated with long-term cobalt poisoning are rarely reversible. Persons who have such poisoning will likely have to take medicine for the rest of their life to control the symptoms.

One of the interesting side notes to the official rollout of GM's new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado mid-size pickup is how it's yet another piece of evidence regarding the "shrinkage" going on in the commercial vehicle space.
Now, true, this pickup is being heavily promoted by GM primarily to the retail consumer, with work truck buyers being placed on the back burner for now.
But the capabilities and footprint of the Colorado definitely fit the new realities of urban life for commercial users – namely that cities are not only getting more crowded, with streets more and more congested, they are going to be the primary centers of human population growth and business activity in the near future.
[Below you can view a video overview of the new 2015 Colorado put together by PickupTrucks.com]
Indeed, that's one reason the rebirth of the Colorado – a mid-sized model GM discontinued, along with its GMC Canyon twin, in the North American market back in 2012 – first occurred overseas several years ago, in Thailand, where far more crowded Asian urban centers demanded more compact work vehicles.
Yet similar urban factors helped spur GM to reintroduce the Colorado in the North American market, though it's of a vastly different design and shape than what the OEM intially rolled out on global basis back in 2011.
"We've taken all the attributes of a full-size [pickup] truck and put them not only in a smaller package, but wrapped it in 'car like' feel as well," Chris Hilts, GM's creative design manager for the Colorado, told me at a special pre-launch media conference the automaker held last week in Detroit.
"Yet it still has all the 'tough truck' attributes every customer expects; but it's sculpted so it doesn't feel like you're operating a 'small' truck," he stressed. "This is difficult because getting all those expected 'truck' attributes – more interior storage space, more electronic offerings, more room for the driver and passengers – is tight for a full-size pickup and thus even tighter for a mid-size model."
Joyce Mattman, commercial product director for GM's Fleet & Commercial division, stressed to me at the event that a "work truck package" will be provided for the 2015 Colorado, including a "box delete" option so the pickup bed can be removed to provide for the installation of a wide assortment of service body styles.
She also noted, though that growing traffic congestion in cities coupled with "real interest" in fuel economy is expected to drive demand for the "work version" of the mid-size Colorado.
[On a different topic, watch Mattman discuss the potential for compressed natural gas or CNG in the commercial arena below.]
"Work fleets have really nowhere to go below a half-ton pickup today, yet the trend towards downsizing and 'lightweighting' is gaining speed," she explained. "In the past, the mid-size pickup didn't have all the capability a work fleet needed. That's why we're bringing that expanded capability back to this segment."
The other dynamic at play, according to Mattman, is the growing "acceptance" in the market for smaller displacement engines – something that will be critical for future fuel economy gains within the mid-sized truck segment.
"The dynamic we've seen is that U.S. truck buyers, who used to favor only big engines, are growing to accept the V-6," she said. "Certainly now the car buyer is accepting of V-4 engines and we expect to see that eventual acceptance among truck buyers, too."
That includes the 2.8 liter Duramax diesel GM expects to offer for the Colorado in the 2016 model year; a small displacement engine that it expects will deliver good low-end torque.
"Just look globally at all the vans and small trucks needed to handle the more crowded nature of today's cities," she told me. "Many of our customers saw the vehicles we offered overseas and said, 'Why can't I get that here?' They really want that mid-size option but they want more capability and payload for it as well."
Mattman added that there's also lot more pressure on many companies to downsize their vehicles to get better fuel economy and thus be more "green" too. "We're seeing that from a lot of local government city buyers," she said.
This towards "smaller yet better" is even reflected in the full-size truck market, too: just witness Ford Motor Co.'s introduction of its EcoBoost engine for its F-150 pickup line a few years back – a smaller displacement, fuel-sipping powerhouse that Ford hoped in part would help make up for its discontinuance of its Ranger compact pickup in the North American market.
So, with all this in mind, will GM's reborn Colorado mid-size pickup win over commercial buyers? Right now that's hard to say. But we'll know for certain when GM starts selling this model in the fall next year.

Rehab start likely Peavy's next step in comeback
DETROIT -- Jake Peavy would like to pitch in Philadelphia as part of the White Sox first-half finale Sunday afternoon.

DETROIT -- Jake Peavy would like to pitch in Philadelphia as part of the White Sox first-half finale Sunday afternoon.
After throwing a 76-pitch simulated game Tuesday at Comerica Park, self-described as a step up from his Friday bullpen session in St. Petersburg, Peavy feels ready to get Major League hitters out.View Full Game Coverage
Peavy also understands the full process in coming back from the fractured rib in his left side, meaning that he most likely will be starting Sunday for Double-A Birmingham as part of a Minor League rehab assignment.
"I'm going to hold on to it until I get on that flight. You know me," said Peavy with a laugh, referring to his preference for pitching in the games that count. "But I certainly respect [White Sox general manager] Rick [Hahn] and the front office and the coaching staff. Whatever they think is best, at the end of the day, I'm going to have to bow to that."
"When you're watching him throw, it was pretty free and easy," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura. "That's the good stuff that you like see coming from him. There was no wincing or the extra stretching guys will do when they're coming back."
The simulated game setup featured Peavy throwing 76 pitches. He got up and down four times as if he was working in between innings, throwing 22 pitches in the first, 17 in the second, 20 in the third and 17 in the fourth.
Brent Morel, Blake Tekotte and Casper Wells were among the five batters Peavy faced, giving him looks from both righties and lefties, with Tyler Flowers behind the plate. Flowers' lone slight negative involving Peavy dealt with leaving his slider arm side, although the catcher added that the slider is not a pitch Peavy uses frequently.
"His cutter was outstanding, probably the best I've ever seen it. Tight, hard, late action," Flowers said. "He had a great feel for that, locating it, front door on righties and throwing it in to lefties, away to righties.
"His curveball was very good, which is usually the last pitch in his repertoire, but he dropped five or six in there real nice. The changeup was very good, too. He located a number of those to a couple of lefties and actually to a couple of righties. We were doing it as real at-bats. We threw 2-0 changeups to righties and got a swing and miss and a foul ball.
"All in all, I thought it was really good," Flowers said. "At the beginning, his fastball command was pretty good. The last two innings, his fastball command was great. He was hitting spots, running the two-seamer back door on righties and front door on lefties. He looked probably better than normal in my opinion."
Arm and leg strength for Peavy is returning after three weeks of inactivity, with the right-hander crediting director of conditioning Allen Thomas and Minor League conditioning coordinator Dale Torborg for designing workouts to facilitate that improvement. It's uncertain whether Peavy will need more than the one rehab start to return from the disabled list, where he has been retroactive to June 5, but he wants to get back to the team as soon as possible.
"It's the worst spot on the roster you can be in," said Peavy. "It's extremely tough when your team is struggling. You feel so helpless. It's probably the reason I made the last start in Seattle, knowing deep down that I probably shouldn't have been out there. It was evident I had no business on a Major League field.
"You want to be so badly that guy to stop the losing streak, to create some kind of spark that gets the team going in another direction. So that's been the toughest part, to try to be as positive as you can and not get down in the dumps when you feel helpless."

Too many veterans are forced, by paperwork backlogs, to wait a long time for their disability benefits. Solutions are needed, but it appears they, too, will take longer than anyone wished.
Too many veterans are forced, by paperwork backlogs, to wait a long time for their disability benefits. Solutions are needed, but it appears they, too, will take longer than anyone wished.
Washington has not ignored the delays — which stem from a number of causes — but it must keep applying pressure to simplify the system and whittle down the backlog. Progress so far is unsatisfactory.
Last week, the U.S. House approved legislation that includes more funding to help ease the backlogs, through such means as 94 additional claims processors and an ongoing transition to electronic records. The measure — a $73.6 billion spending bill for veteran projects and military construction — also would take some existing money and redirect it to help regional Department of Veterans Affairs centers with the worst backlogs.
All four U.S. representatives with Polk districts voted for the bill, HR 2216: Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, Tom Rooney, R-Okeechobee, Dennis Ross, R-Lakeland, and Daniel Webster, R-Winter Garden.
VA officials note that disability claims are not only more numerous than in the past but also more medically complex.
Difficulty in obtaining complete medical history and personnel records (often from the Department of Defense) is a leading cause of delays, according to testimony given at a March hearing before the Senate's Committee on Veterans Affairs.
Also creating problems are misplaced and lost documents, a result of the "multiple handoffs" involved in paperwork, reports the Government Accountability Office.
Less than 40 percent of the backlogged claims are from first-time filers. The majority are "supplemental" claims, said VA Undersecretary Allison Hickey.
Demand for disability benefits is "at an all-time high," Hickey said. "We have added more than 940,000 veterans, almost a million veterans to the VA compensation rolls.
Claims are considered "backlog" after 125 days. Through much of 2012, the average time it took for the VA to complete a claim was 260 days, according to a report by the GAO. Long waits for benefit decisions pose great challenges for those veterans who face serious illness, foreclosure and such. They deserve a prompt answer.
The good news on this issue is that steps are being taken to reduce procedural hurdles, improve access to records and handle claims as well as appeals. Congress in recent years has directed more funding to these efforts, and federal agencies are at least pledging to improve coordination.
Yet there remains much room for improvement, with little time to implement change before waves of new claims roll in.
It is not easy for large bureaucracies to transform themselves into nimble efficiency — especially when some of the needed records are decades old or even nonexistent. But every day in which veterans are left dangling in doubt about their benefits is one too many.
In our high-tech age, we should be able to solve this problem. Honor demands it for our veterans.

Further adventures in speculative synchromystic research ensue as pop-culture is delved for clues as to the aim and method behind the 911 mega-ritual. Old favourite resonators like Spider-Man and Thoth-McDuck are used, along with an ever-expanding cast of lovable characters. This episode in particular sees comic book entities like the Fantastic Four, Thor and Superman. The rather controversial element of time travel is suggested so get your head in there and let me know what ya think...
Check out Steve Willner's latest for some more interesting Fantastic Four/Silver Surfer observations (video below).

911 Time Lords Across the 4th Dimension (Comic Book Cycle Part 4)
24 comments:
- Steven said...
A helicopter flew through the vortex opened by the 9/11 ritual, sent it back to pharaohs Egypt where it was sighted and recorded on the now ancient stone tablets. Incredible. Any guesses as to why "they" would go back to that specific time period? Perhaps they wished to contact the 'god's' who assisted in the pyramid building, and learn about possible future scenarios of the time tree by studying or (affecting) the past.
The Giza location being renowned for it's close proximity to the 33rd parallel where tangible star gates and 4th dimensional transformers have been rumored to exist.. also Hoagland's Egyptian-like Mars anomalies being near the 33rd on that planet. That opens up several wormholes
concerning Newtonian
Superimposition and the Butterfly Effect Scenario. If they went back and destroyed the moon for instance, would we have any memory of it.. or would it be a fragmented collective conscious lucid dream from an alternate time tree that was like a splinter in the general third eye consensus? Man I need a smoke...

Pre-watching new presentation I noticed that in the clip of inside the Death-Star [1,2 or 3 vidz ago] the actor [ old guy] was the late Peter Cushing who appeared as Dr.Who in the 2movies made in the 70's.
A great actor , he played often as Van helsing and always looked approx. 73 years old, even when he was 50, even when he was 80.
Just watched the final Doctor Who [ anagram of Torchwood] episode so I await , though not expect, interestingness.
Enjoy the day

It's about the Pyramids to me.. Who built them, how and why? I don't think anybody really knows but the answer I am starting to believe is tide into the crucifixion (Jesus' 3rd degree initiate, alien contact?) Exodus (Akhenaton creation of Monotheism because of alien contact, comet?) Solomon's Temple (psychedelics, Jacobs Ladder?) John Dee (Enoch/Thoth) Crowley (Aiwass) 911 (Stargate, Time Travel?) and 2012 (Capstone, Eschaton?) or some such combination of high level magickal events that are all connected non-locally through stargates. I'm ranting..later. One more thing if the Freemasons claim to be descended from the original pyramid builders, can you prove it? I think we should call there bluff. Maybe they are as in the dark on the subject as we... Just a thought..
Howdy Jake,
Has your eagle-eye noted that the 'top down' viewpoint for the plans of Solomon's Temple look the same as for a plain ol' D Cell Battery?
Crowley talks about making batteries in 'Magick in Theory and Practice'. The critical number is 11.
It is possible to imagine the Twin Towers and Building Seven as the three prongs of a standard western electrical plug!?! Two long and one short.
What about this -- could it be that the earth itself is being given ECT treatments in order to induce a universal spiritual/psychological shift?
Time Traveling psychiatrists reaching the heart of our sub-conscious angst in Our Distant Past to repair Our shattered world mind of it's current autism!
Awe-some. Shocking. ZZZ.
In 'Return to Oz' Dorothy is treated by Shock Therapy!

How's it possible Pedro? I really dont know. Maybe it isn't, but the coincidences point that way for now and these are the pages of synchromysticism. If I didnt follow them there would be no point... (A finger pointing at the moon)
Thanks Sunking (for the links etc)
Sun Moon Man's Fun House of Smoke and Mirrors a battery? I like it. WTC a giant power fixture? I love it.
Peace out Bros and Sistas
1 more vid in the series and its done. Dropping the deck b4 I head for Crop Circle land to meet some friends e.t.a. 1 week or so (the vid, that is). Actually I haven't started but its in my head, for the most part..
- Steven Kruyswijk said...
Awesome work! Did you read all those '80s comic books yourself?
One thing that stood out to my mind when viewing this last video was the combination of the 9/11 destruction of the towers and 'reverse time' phenomena.
There's this physics professor lady that alledges that some kind of scalar interferometry weapon was used to bring down the towers, as evidenced by the seemingly complete pulverization of the core columns, among other super-weird phenomena.
This ties into things like the Philadelphia Experiment, where the same kind of technology was used, and which also (alledgedly) produced time travel side-effects.
For more on scalar electromagnetics, check out Tom Bearden's site cheniere.org.

buenos dias
Even without the subject matter the classic two-parter.
Itsy bitsy brought those little buzzy helioscopters in to the mix, and though in images 911 TimeLords showed choppers it wasn't til the end of it that both episodes gelled for me and suddenly became 1. Like a piece of string randomly cut fits exactly through all the lace holes to tie a perfect knot, that's how it felt just after the hieroglyphic helicopter - bing
The 3-pin plug - excellent
- hoi polloi said...
Its great that you brought time travel into this! I also think the pyramids had something to do with reincarnation of the pharoahs, but that's just me ;)
- Cameron said...
No F---in Way!!! My jaw is on the floor. Thanks for sharing your beautiful mind Jake!!!!
I gotta tell you guys and gals...
The more I look into this stuff the more John Titor seems legit.
Not as a time traveler himself but as someone who was really in the know.
BTW, since watchin your comic book series Jake I stopped in a local comic store. I let my intuition pick out two.
I think Loaded Bible is one to keep your eyes out for. There's another one but I can't seem to remember the name.
Anyhow... I've got a punky brewster lead if you want it.
I'll check back in to see if your interested.

Great great stuff Jake!
Check out latest at Ustream!

I am a comic book fan Steven, but I found those comics online.. I have read the ones featured, but my knowledge of the subject is not so vast that I new about them before doing some research. Im just trying to cover all the best 911 syncs relevent to the mega-ritual and stagate concept. A formidable task if I might be so bold, the towers were used frequently. I can only use my intuition to pick the right ones and still have time to develop other ideas.
See Steve Willner's work for some cool ones I have missed so far...
Thanks to all the rest for the good response to this series..
You should tell me more about your Egypt ideas Hoi

Hello "Jake Kotze" or Holy Jake in arabic..! ;-)
Congratulations for your brilliant research on 911 metaphysics.
Looking for new synchronicities? check out this amazing "comic creativity" on the daily show of jon stewart(broadcast at the end of june, "dick move" and "nonexcutive" parts)if you would like to discover the link between Dick Cheney,secrecy of elites,Giza pyramids, the octogon, the Beast of poet Yeats and apocalypse...Funny but highly strange for a popular show...!
By the way, 911 is full of egyptian connections...Just one example for now: the date of 11september is the First day of the Coptic(christian-egyptian) year..Moreover,two so-called key players of the "attacks", Mohammed Atta(hijacker) and Ayman Al Zahwiri(Alquaeda Speaker) are egyptian....
One last thing to ponder...as many political celebrities, the Bush family was rumored to have lived the Millenium Celebration(12/31/1999)in Giza, Egypt, for the big show of Jeanmichel Jarre,full of masonic symbology, in front of the pyramids....
About time travel, did you know that, in the most famous story about that concept, written by HG Wells one century ago, the machine to travel in time was represented as a metallic...sphinx..?!
Anyway,keep on,brother-in-arms !:-)

There is a device in SG-1 called ' Thor's Hammer' in the episode 'Thor's Hammer'. It belongs to the Cimmeria who , i think, get a little attacked Heru-Ur.
Hammer & Falcon
Said Qutb , seen as the moving force behind Neo-Con Islam drew his inferences of Western culture from his stay in the US in the 50's. He saw the same godlessness as Lewis Strauss the father of the Neo-Con Christianized movement.
Adam Curtis produced a BBC docu. called The Power of Nightmares' which details this philisophical similarity in both movements.Qutb, too, was Egyptian, and was imprisoned and I think executed by the then Egyptian govt.

Hi Jake,
In the realm of Thoth-duck, there is also the immortal "Donald in Mathmagic Land," Narrated by "A Spirit...the true spirit of adventure." This film could/can be seen at any American public school with a film projector and overworked math teachers. Youtube Part One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNFOvOJZoWw depicts the "fraternity of eggheads," the Pythagoreans, meeting in secret. At 3:11 the "Spirit" whispers, "They used to meet in secret to discuss their mathematical discoveries. Only members were allowed to attend…" Two of these secret mathematical fraternity brothers with pentagrams inscribed on their palms grasp hands (accompanied by a weird audio glitch/subliminal at 3:25, just following the pentagram handshake). Then a bouncy pentagram filled with "mathmagic" illustrates how, "This is only the beginning…hidden within the pentagram is a secret for creating a golden rectangle." The trippy pentagram-based animation that follows is no doubt handy for any Monarch mind control hypno-programmer (the 1947 US Navy-initiated Project CHAPTER and the programs it spawned might finally explain Donald's funky sailor suit…).
To wit, in Part Two, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLTKX4WxmZ4
(where your pool game is improved by a dude with a pool table on his forehead that just happens to look like a pyramid with the capstone missing), there is a scene 5:40 or so in where Donald's mind is erased ("a nice clean sweep") before "Mr. Spirit" suggests(~6:33), "Think of a pentagram, Donald..." Future doors of perception, spiral galaxy stargates, and even a DIO reference follow. This all could be seen as an initiatory sequence for Thoth-duck, where he is inducted/abducted into a secret society with big plans for the future.
It's great to see you including the Promethea stuff. Anything from Alan Moore is so good, it's like you said in an interview, as I recall: it's perhaps more interesting when the symbolism is happening almost subliminally, rather than from people who are obviously highly aware of it. What Disney animator/director chose, say, the black and red color scheme for the pentagrams in Donald's forehead and who decided to begin their animation in Donald's Ajna chakra? Free will or 4th dimensional mind control or both?
See you in helicopter dreamland, man!

Awesome link and commentary, Wiindigoo.
I also have a tip: the book "The Secrets of the Ages" by David Wilcock. It's an excellently readable book about multidimensional physics, which I feel is super-relevant to the material discussed here.
keywords: Atlantean Secret Metaphysics, the octave of existence: musical hierarchy of successive dimensions/densities, which are all platonic solids, which gives the reason for the pyramid being half an octahedron. Mayan resonances, torsion fields, zero point, spiral mechanics, you name it!
Ow, and it's also got the revised version of E = MC2, btw. Check it:
E = (C + 1 / sqrt C) C2

Jake (as drunk girls at bar-time from the street yell "Jake! Jake! Jake! That's not him…There's no cosmic connection!"– just happened outside my window, siriusly!),
I'm working my way more slowly through your entire "Comic Book Cycle" once again, and am even more amazed at the intricacies and creativity you continue to give us. No wonder I try to share them with those I respect most. They remind me of Promethea #12, where Alan Moore adapts a story from Crowley's "Magick in Theory and Practice" (for a real headtrip "listen to a recording of this doc" on scribd.com/doc/194711/Crowley-Aleister-Magick-in-Theory-and-Practice):
"…one must discuss briefly this question of reality, for misapprehension on the subject has given rise to endless trouble. There is the story of the American in the train who saw another American carrying a basket of unusual shape. His curiosity mastered him, and he leant across and said: "Say, stranger, what you got in that bag?" The other, lantern-jawed and taciturn, replied: "mongoose". The first man was rather baffled, as he had never heard of a mongoose. After a pause he pursued, at the risk of a rebuff: "But say, what is a Mongoose?" "Mongoose eats snakes", replied the other. This was another poser, but he pursued: "What in hell do you want a Mongoose for?" "Well, you see", said the second man (in a confidential whisper) "my brother sees snakes". The first man was more puzzled than ever; but after a long think, he continued rather pathetically: "But say, them ain't real snakes". "Sure", said the man with the basket, "but this Mongoose ain't real either". This is a perfect parable of Magick."
The story is intertwined with the Tarot card illustrations throughout the issue and concludes, on the second to last page where Tarot 21 ("The Universe") is featured (I would add a link to a picture of this page, but the Cosmic Giggle Factor is in full effect today and the absolutely exhaustive commentary at angelfire.com/comics/eroomnala/12.html does not feature the page...pretty much *only* this page is missing;). The scrabble pieces with the anagram of "Promethea" are arranged to read "Heart Poem." As I come to realize that things like "terrorist stalking" via helicopter http://www.youtube.com/user/theninthtrust actually 'exist' in 'physical reality,' your increasingly artistic presentations become more and more liberating. They are "heart poems," demonstrating Alex Jones' "Creativity and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit!"
Thanks, brother.
Finally, a related image for you from Herge's "Blue Lotus" Tin Tin books: earnshaw.com/shanghai-ed-india/tales/cartoons/images/tintin5.jpg

Thanks Wiindigo
Good stuff to ponder..
I have looked into the Tintin "Blue Lotus" sync. Part one of that pasrticular story is the preceding book "The Pharaohs Cigars". Other interesting covers "The Shooting Star" sees a giant red and white mushroom and of course Tintin also travels to the moon and Bermuda Triangle etc.. Maybe that will come up some day.

If you've earned a new position, congrats! When beginning a new job, it's important to feel comfortable with the company and your new boss and team. During your first couple of days on the job, ask some of the following questions to help focus your work and set goals. • What are the top priorities for the company and our team? This question is vital to your success. If you think their priorities are XZY but they are really ABC, all of your work may be in vain. Also, ask which projects take top priority. You need to learn to budget your time.
• How do you prefer to communicate and approve projects? Establishing a strong communication pattern with your boss will save you endless headaches and wasted time. If your supervisor is not one for interruptions, they may get upset if you keep dropping by to get their feedback. It may be best to set appointments.
• How and when will my performance be evaluated? Asking this question will help you structure your work so it is easily measured and evaluated. The more profitable/positive results you can show, the better.
• Will there be opportunity for advancement within the company? This will let your boss know you have long-term goals in mind. Caution: This is a question to ask after you have been there awhile. You may want to ask a co-worker you've gotten to know, "Do people move around a lot in this company?" This will give you a feel for the type of answer your boss will likely give.
Make sure you start off on the right foot and familiarize yourself with the operations of your new company and your team/boss. And to those lucky folks who are growing their team and bringing on new employees, please express the above info to your new hires! A welcoming work environment is positive for everyone.

WHEN: June 24th – 25th
WHERE: The Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul, Minnesota
BAR TRIVIA: Morris Titanic (currently a member of the Sabres Alumni Team) was the only draft pick by Buffalo in 1973 that suited up for the Sabres. He posted no points in 19 career NHL games with the Sabres, but later distinguished himself with the International Hockey League's Milwaukee Admirals. A knee injury forced him to retire during the 1979–80 season while he was playing for the Rochester Americans.
SABRES PICKS: The Sabres are not involved in any conditional picks this year.
- Round 1 – #16
- Round 2 – none (traded to St. Louis for Brad Boyes)
- Round 3 – #77
- Round 4 – #107
- Round 5 – #137
- Round 6 – #167
- Round 7 – #197
Our previous cheat sheet profiled Brandon Saad, Joel Armia, Mark McNeill, and Boone Jenner – all sizeable forwards that would be value picks for their talent and for the team's positional needs. Since that post, "Hockey Wilderness" hosted a poll on SB Nation, wherein the community of SB Nation is allowed to cast their vote on who they think their team will pick. The results were surprising.
Not to knock Beaulieu – he's going to be a solid defenseman in the NHL – but with the Sabres picking a defenseman with 4 of their last 5 first round picks, you gotta' imagine they'll be looking at drafting a forward this season. Heck, Saad and Jenner were both still on this fantasy board. Strange things do happen on draft day, but this poll should leave most Sabres fans puzzled.
Here's some less puzzling picks that the Sabres would be wise to consider. (Again, links to more extensive write-ups are included with each name.)
ISS Rank: 19
If I'm going to contradict myself, I mine as well get it out of the way at the top of the list. This left handed defenseman, yes, defenseman, has garnered a lot of attention from Sabres draft nerds, simply because he is this year's Tyler Myers. At 6-7 and 244 pounds, the Toronto product is going to make some team's blueline a lot more frightening. Some older Sabers fans may remember John Muckler's failed "Twin Towers" experiment when he paired Denis Tsygurov with Richard Smehlik (for a whole 12 games), but a pairing of Myers and Oleksiak would be pretty fantastic.
ISS Rank: 28
Yes, the ISS Rank should jump out at you, but it shouldn't be a true cause of concern, as Rask was ranked as high as 5 overall back in October. A promotion from the Swedish Elite league from the Jr. League was the main cause for the skilled and gritty center's drop. "He's a top 10 talent, but could go in the 2nd, or even 3rd round," one scout said. "He's too good a player for the junior league and he's not good enough for the big team, so he really falls into that gap." In one word: steal.
ISS Rank: 44
Another power forward at the center position, the 6-2 177 pound Scheifele needs to put more meat on his bones before he strides into the NHL. With a potent mix of smarts and playmaking ability, Scheifele will make some team very happy at the mid-to-late level of the first round (the Sabres could potentially trade down to select him). "His numbers as a 17 year old are pretty amazing considering he played for a team that lost 49 games," said one scout. Former Sabre and Barrie head coach Dale Hawerchuk had this to say about him: "The opportunity was there for him (this season) and he ran with it. He's great. Everybody loves being around Scheif, he comes in smiling every day, can't wait to get on the ice. That's infectious to everybody. And that's how you want it to be." (Bonus video profile at NHL.com.)
ISS Rank: 3
If the Sabres were to trade up for a player, it should be for this 6-1, 207 pound beast of a LW. Landeskog's reputation as a leader shines with the fact that he was named captain of his Jr. team – at just 17 years of age (quite a rarity). His value extends far beyond his intimidating character. "He's the best player in the draft," said one scout. "He could have played in the NHL two years ago. If he didn't care about defense, he'd score 50 goals just for fun." Here's to hoping, Sabres fans. (Bonus video at NHL.com.)
Trade up, trade down, stay put, trade the pick for Richards/Stastny/Parise – this is one of those years that the Sabres are very difficult to predict.
If I'm at the draft table, my vote is trade up.
Go Sabres.

|Happiness comes in all shapes and sizes :)
Nice post Katie, Hope your methods work for you and lift your spirits. I too have been having a bit of a rough week. Ready for warmer weather and less snow.
I love this. And I agree. Sometimes it's just so much easier to sit and sulk and pick at old wounds. But in the end, it gets you no where fast. I love your ideas and that you shared this...thank you!
I totally agree. There are some things that I just refuse to compromise on to ensure that I stay a happy person. I never want to be one of those people who is stuck being unhappy for no good reason. This is why I like to make sure that I do the things I like, even if they seem kind of weird. Like, as you said, taking some time just for me. Sometimes I need more me time than at others. If I didn't occasionally hermit myself away for days, or even weeks, I know I'd be a cranky and unpleasant person to be around. I also like to eat good food that I like and get tons of sleep. These are things that keep me happy on a regular basis. Sometimes though, I find that I like to be a little unhappy and indulge in it. But just for a limited period of time. Then I decide it's time to get back to being cheerful me. :)
I love this post! I totally agree with all of the above. Last year I spent far too much time feeling down and letting the little worries in life get to me, I had never felt like this before so it was a shock to struggle with things I had found matter of fact before. So I decided that this year was going to be different and I have tried to do something a little bit special each day, I know it sounds a bit cliché, but having a positive out look can really help, however forced it may feel to start with, after a while it becomes a habit (just as feeling down was for me). It doesnt mean that I havent had really low days it just means that when I do, I know that I will feel brighter, and on those down days I just try to be a bit kinder to myself.
Oh and super jealous of those shoes, having such pretty feet would definitely help banish the blues! x
Two things that help me -
Creativity of any kind is therapy.
Avoid negativity and people who exude it.
Oh, what a lovely affirmation that hope lives, that the sun will return and that life is indeed worth living. Thank for this post, on a day that is dreary and gray and rainy here in North Carolina.
Such a sweet post thank you. Sunday I told my husband "I had sadness in me." because I couldn't think of any other way to put it. That is just how it felt and there was no reason (not even hormonal reasons) but I did a bit of sewing and took the dog on a walk and today I just feel so joyful. Maybe sometimes a grey day is good because we appreciate the joyful ones. Thanks for your thoughts.

OAKLAND — The Warriors have been angling for that early-season statement, to announce their presence among the legit with trumpets and fireworks.
No, a 5-3 start, even with five of them being road games, didn't do the trick. And road wins over Philadelphia and Minnesota weren't quite worthy of a collar pop.
But beating Oklahoma City … that might do it. Especially before a national TV audience.
"We're 0-3 against some of our 'foes' at the top of the Western Conference," backup big man Jermaine O'Neal said after Wednesday's practice. "So it's important to come out and have a good showing on our home court. It's time for us … we've been there. We have to find a way to win games against teams I'm sure we're going to see in the playoffs."
Golden State has a few elements arguably working to its advantage. After a showdown with the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, the Thunder will be playing its second game in two nights when it visits Oracle Arena. And Oklahoma City is expected to be without starting center Kendrick Perkins, whose grandfather passed away.
On top of that, the Warriors have clicked at home on both ends of the court. They've dominated the three inferior opponents (Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento, Detroit) with the certainty you'd expect from a team claiming to be a contender.
Golden State has led by at least 27 in each home game and won all three by double digits, the first time that's been done in 23 years.
Still, this is the Thunder. One of the most talented teams in the West and the favorite of many to reach the NBA Finals. Oklahoma City has megastar Kevin Durant, who has made many good teams look as if they weren't ready for prime time.
"We haven't seen anything like him in the history of this game, in my opinion," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said of Durant.
And the NBA MVP candidate has his sidekick, Russell Westbrook, back. It was thought the All-Star guard wouldn't return until December after two surgeries on his right knee in six months.
But he returned early and, though his numbers are down, he is looking as explosive as ever. The Thunder won the first four games Westbrook played.
And forward Serge Ibaka, often lost in the shuffle, is helping the Thunder dominate the offensive boards, pulling down 3.5 of the team's league-best 12.8 offensive rebounds per game.
"Going to be a big test for us," Warriors forward Harrison Barnes said. "OKC has obviously been on top for a while. It will be a chance for us to see where we are in the West. … We're definitely trying to go out there and play well and let them know that we're here."
The Warriors came up short in their comeback bid against the Clippers, but that was capping a back-to-back set to start the season.
Golden State then nearly pulled off the rare road win at San Antonio, falling by a basket, but that was without Stephen Curry.
They were ran out of town by Memphis, but that was also completing a back-to-back set at the end of a four-game road trip.
But for this one, the Warriors don't have a built-in excuse. They've been emphatic in their dominance at home. They're coming off a day's rest, and they have a point to prove.
"I like the way we're playing at home," Jackson said. "We are taking care of business. We're executing. We're defending. … We're doing a lot of good things. Now, obviously, there's an upgrade in opposition."
Thursday's game
Oklahoma City (5-2) at Warriors (5-3), 7:30 p.m., TNT

Wrong. If you're writing not just one-bit-here-and-one-bit-there, but streaming megabytes to the disk - then the buffer cache will already hold the information needed for parity calculation (because userspace just told the kernel to write it to the disks anyway). Thus, to write a full stripe including parity on an N disk RAID-5 - you need *zero* reads, and N writes (one per disk) and they parallelize and "pipeline" perfectly. Of course this is slower than RAID-0 (because it *is* not as simple - there are more lines of code - and the XOR being fast, still isn't free) - but it does not have to be a lot slower. > The two reads are the block to be written and the parity block.

There are many performance tricks that can be pulled, and Linux currently pulls some of them. Being smart about reads on RAID-5 is one of them. > For instance, the 3ware 7410 card we get something like 75Mb/sec writes to 4 > drives in raid 0 and 5.6MB/sec in raid 5. Well, luckily one *implementation* with poor performance doesn't prove that efficient implementations are impossible :) ('implementation' here meaning both software and hardware) Cheers, -- ................................................................ : jakob at unthought.net : And I see the elder races, : :.........................: putrid forms of man : : Jakob Østergaard : See him rise and claim the earth, : : OZ9ABN : his downfall is at hand. : :.........................:............{Konkhra}...............:
