Scenario: Mike, a maintenance supervisor and Walt, a maintenance mechanic, were severely injured as a result of an accident they caused while disassembling a large hydraulic cylinder. The accident occurred while they were trying to remove the rod/gland assembly from the cylinder. In their attempt to remove the assembly, they first pressurized the cylinder with approximately 100 psi compressed air with the objective of pushing the gland out. The attempt failed.
Then they figured that if —in addition to applying force with compressed air —they heated the cylinder barrel in the vicinity of the gland assembly, the cylinder tube would expand, and possibly release its grip on the gland assembly.
They used an acetylene torch with a rosebud tip to apply heat to the surface of the cylinder tube. Within minutes, the gland assembly unexpectedly blew out with a deafening explosion that was heard throughout the complex, Figure 1.
The ambient air collected the residual oil in the cylinder as it rapidly de-compressed. The air/oil mixture ignited into a fiery inferno when it contacted the torch's open flame. Both men were knocked to the ground by the forces of the giant explosion. They were both covered in hydraulic oil as it sprayed out of the open end of the cylinder tube —and both were quickly engulfed in flames.
A passer-by grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher and doused the flames. The heavy gland assembly had ripped Mike's leg off as the compressed air blasted it out of the cylinder. He also suffered extensive burns. Walt suffered extensive burns and a broken leg.
Events that led to the accident
Walt was carrying out a routine service on a large hydraulic cylinder that included an inspection of the internal wear rings. He noted that there was some external leakage from the rod/gland seals. The cylinder design was typical of those found in mobile hydraulic applications. This design usually has a gland assembly recessed inside the open end of the rod end cap. The assembly is secured with a metal retaining ring that fits into a groove machined around the ID of the cylinder tube, Figure 2.
After removing the retaining ring, he tried in vain to extricate the rod/gland assembly manually. All indications were that it was seized. In his next attempt, he tried to pull the rod/gland out by attaching it, via a cable, to a forklift truck. This also failed to move the gland assembly.
Walt discussed the problem with Mike, his maintenance supervisor, and together they decided to try to push the stubborn gland assembly out with compressed air, Figure. 3. They went so far as to calculate the force that 100 psi would generate against the gland area.
They installed a quick-disconnect fitting to the port at the cap of the cylinder. Then, they connected the air-supply hose from the compressor to the cylinder port, and pressurized the cylinder with the air. They observed the pressure on the air compressor's pressure gage. The compressed air, and resultant force, failed to push the gland assembly out as they had planned.
After further discussion, Walt and Mike decided that the cylinder tube's grasp on the gland assembly might be relinquished by using heat to expand the cylinder tube in the vicinity of the gland, Figure 4. Using an acetylene torch with a special tip for heating. Mike applied heat to the cylinder tube, distributing the heat uniformly around the outside diameter of the tube. After approximately three to five minutes, the explosion occurred.
A common occurrence?
Unfortunately, the results of an industry-wide survey of heavy-duty mechanics yielded discouraging results —over 90% of the heavy-duty mechanics we spoke to have either used compressed air to extricate a rod/gland assembly or know someone who has.
This shows that not only is this a common practice, but also one that is regarded as acceptable. Even companies with the most rigorous safety programs may overlook this critical safety issue. Many of the people with whom we spoke about this practice, responded anecdotally about having blasted a cylinder rod assembly through a door or a wall.
How this accident could have been prevented
Training —there is no tool that is more effective at reducing or eliminating work-related accidents than training. Training empowers people to make safety-based decisions. This accident would not have occurred had the victims received proper training on how to disassemble a hydraulic cylinder.
This is a simple, straightforward procedure for a properly trained person. Oftentimes, it is assumed that mechanics can figure out disassembly and assembly procedures. These are times when written instructions are vital.
All hydraulic accidents must be investigated —Hydraulic accidents occur on a daily basis in plants and factories around the world. Unfortunately, in most cases, only those in which a person is injured or killed are investigated.
For example, a hydraulic hose-end failure is an accident. However, less than 1% of the hose-end failures that occur are ever investigated to determine the root-cause of the failure.
Follow service and repair instructions —Component and machinery manufacturers must provide clear, safety-based, accurate information that is user-friendly. The information must apply to their machinery. For example, a manufacturer might use a particular brand of pump in a machine. The information about the pump is usually a photocopy of the pump manufacturer's generic information. However, the information might not apply directly to that entire machine.
A manufacturer must state very clearly if specialized tools are needed for a particular task, and make those tools available. If specialized skills are needed to do the job, they must be stated.
Competent technical assistance —Component and machinery manufacturers must have properly trained personnel to cater to customers╒needs. The advice people are given must be safety-based and accurate.
Proper tools — There are certain tools that are needed for almost any job. A hydraulic technician should have flow meters, pressure gages, temperature gages, and any other special tools required to service and repair hydraulics.
How to safely remove a stubborn rod or gland
1. Wear safety glasses.
2. Place the cylinder on a suitable table and secure it with the ports in the vertical position.
3. Remove the locking device from the rod/gland assembly (refer to cylinder manufacturer's information for guidance).
4. Pull the rod out (if possible) all the way, until it stops against the end of the cylinder.
5. Place a suitable support under the rod to prevent it from falling and causing possible injuries. The support will also prevent the rod from getting damaged, when it comes out.
6. Place a suitable receptacle under the cylinder (rod/gland area) to catch the oil when the rod/gland comes out.
7. Pluse the ort in the rod end of the cylidner with a suitable plug that has the proper pressure rating.
8. Tilt the closed-end of the cylinder upwards slightly and place suitable spacer (approximately 1 in.) under it.
9. Fill the cylinder (through the closed-end port) with hydraulic oil.
10. Connect a 300-psi mechanical hand-pump with pressure gauge to the closed-end port.
11. Gradually pump the hand pump while observing the pressure gauge. The rod/gland assembly should begin to move. Keep on pumping until the rod/gland is pushed completely out of the cylinder tube.
12. If the rod/gland assembly does not move the time the pressure reaches the maximum pressure rating of the cylinder, suspend pumping and release the pressure.
13. Call the cylinder manufacturer for guidance.
Warning - do not continue gland removal using trial-and-error methods.
Note: this procedure is recommended for occasional cylinder service and repair only. For high-volume cylinder service and repair, we recommend that you consider acquiring a proper cylinder-service repair bench.

I've got one system that has slow redraws when doing anything in the program. It acts as though it's not recognizing the onboard video driver. By this, I mean it behaves like a system before the actual graphics driver is installed and is using the BIOS default. I could have sworn it behaved differently once, but I re-installed everything from scratch and this is the result. To be clear, it behaved wrong at first, then right and then it's back to wrong.
I'm thinking it might be due to installing it right after a new build, before the MB drivers were installed and it's using the stock BIOS driver. I think the one time it worked I re-installed BIBM and it grabbed the right driver. Thing is, the option to uninstall BIBM is greyed out. Yes, I am trying to do it from the CD and not the BIBM partition.
Before I reinstall from the ground up, I just want to make sure this is indeed what's happening. Does BIBM use the driver present when installed and not update after driver install.
The slow re-draws are killing me.
*SOLVED* makedisk is where you change video options. I made a new disk and selected Chipset and highest res/colors and everything's good.

Otherwise, most parents enjoy the convenience a baby monitor provides—instead of needing to stay close to the nursery or constantly checking on your child, you're free to rest, catch up on Netflix or get things done around the house during naptime. Monitors can also double as a nanny cam to keep an eye on your child and their caretaker.

Just write a Flex app and try the following in a function
var btn:Button = new Button();
var lst:List = new List();
lst = List (btn);
In short, we are trying to cast a button into a list… What do you expect?? Yes… an RTE (Run Time Error)
It reads
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.controls::Button@16ab0479 to mx.controls.List.
There are times in your app development cycle, when you are not sure, if a particular casting is allowed or not. You definitely don't want to throw an RTE (Run Time Error) to the user either. What you end up doing invariably is using a try…catch block to handle the RTE. A better and cleaner alternative to this is using the as operator
Using the as operator has the following advantages
- It does the exact same thing as casting does, if you are casting between compatible types
- It returns a null if the object cannot be casted to a particular type
- No RTEs 🙂
Once you use the as operator, you can just do a null check to see if the casting is allowed… as below
var btn:Button = new Button;
var lst:List;
lst = btn as List;
if (! lst) {mx.controls.Alert.show("Sorry you cant cast it this way"); }
But a word of caution. You cannot use the as operator to cast between types in the Top Level classes (to view them , go to the flex language reference). Which means… Say you want to cast a String to a Number, you cannot do,
num = str as Number;
This gives the following error
Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String
You'll have to do the age-old way of casting
num = Number(str);
Hope this is useful… at least to beginners 🙂

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is it safe to have sex while on treatment for cervical cancer?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
If you have completed treatment for cervical cancer, it is usually safe to have intercourse. Patients who have been recently diagnosed, or who are currently undergoing radiation therapy, may wish to abstain because of vaginal bleeding or discomfort. Any patient who has recently undergone surgery for cervical cancer should abstain from intercourse for about 4 to 6 weeks after surgery to allow for the surgical site to heal. Please consult your physician and ask when it is safe to resume intercourse based upon your specific situation.

Howard Beck of the New York Times has acquired the details of the deal the NBA will offer the NBPA if a deal is not reached by the end of business Wednesday. The major issues in this new proposal are a 53-47 BRI split in favor of the owners, current salary rollbacks and a flex (hard) cap. These are the details of the current Union proposal:
¶ Salary-cap and luxury-tax levels in Years 1 and 2 of the new agreement will be no less than they were in 2010-11. By Year 3, they will be adjusted downward to conform to the new system.
¶ Sign-and-trade deals and the biannual exception will be available only to nontaxpaying teams.
¶ Extend-and-trade deals, such as the one signed by Carmelo Anthony last season, will be prohibited.
¶ The midlevel exception will be set at $5 million for nontaxpaying teams, with a maximum length between three and four years (alternating annually). The value of the exception will grow by 3 percent annually, starting in Year 3.
¶ The midlevel exception will be set at $2.5 million for taxpaying teams, with a maximum length of two years, and cannot be used in consecutive years. Its value will also grow at 3 percent annually.
¶ A 10 percent escrow tax will be withheld from player salaries, to ensure that player earnings do not exceed 50 percent of league revenues. An additional withholding will be applied in Year 1 "to account for business uncertainty" stemming from the lockout.
¶ Maximum contract lengths will be five years for "Bird" free agents and four years for others.
¶ Annual contract increases will be 5.5 percent for "Bird" players and 3.5 percent for others.
¶ Players will be paid a prorated share of their 2011-12 salaries, based on the number of games played once the season starts.
¶ Team and player contract options will be prohibited in new contracts, other than rookie deals. But a player can opt out of the final year of a contract if he agrees to zero salary protection (i.e., if it is nonguaranteed).
The new "reset" proposal, that will be on the table if a deal is not met by Wednesday, contains these monumental changes.
The "reset" proposal features a flex-cap system that contains an absolute salary ceiling — to be set $5 million above the average team salary. In addition, the N.B.A. would roll back existing contracts "in proportion to system changes in order to ensure sufficient market for free agents."
The other major differences in the "reset" proposal are:
¶ The midlevel exception would be set at $3 million in Year 1, with a maximum length of three years, and would grow at 3 percent annually.
¶ Maximum salaries would be reduced.
¶ Sign-and-trade rules would remain consistent with the 2005 labor deal.
¶ Contracts would be limited to four years for "Bird" free agents and three years for others, but each team could give a five-year deal to one designated player.
¶ Raises would be limited to 4.5 percent for "Bird" players and 3.5 percent for others.
¶ Changes requested by the union on restricted free agency rules and salary-cap holds would not be included.
Both proposals include an "amnesty" provision that will allow every team to waive one player and have 100 percent of his salary removed from the cap.
If the players association has half a collective brain, they will work to get a deal done Wednesday. While there is question to whether potential decertification rumors are union generated smoking mirrors, there is no doubting that the owners are serious about this proposal. The owners know that the players do not want to lose a season and decertify. The owners realize that the NBA is a league of 450 not a league of 25 greedy stars. This newer proposal is not one, not two, not three, not four, not five steps down from the current proposal. This newer proposal is like comparing Madison Square Garden with Arco Arena. Not only do the players receive a worse labor deal but this new proposal would bring rollbacks to current player salaries. Rollbacks have not been in the discussions for months but it is more and more apparent that the owners will squeeze the players more and more the longer this goes on.
I have always said the players deal only worsens the longer this ordeal continues but even I am shocked to see how different this new proposal is as opposed to the current proposal. If the players were to go ahead and pass up the current proposal, I believe there is NO way they get close to 50/50. As I have said, the owners hold all the leverage in these talks. While decertification is an option for the players, I do not see it happening due to the fact that Billy Hunter clearly wants to keep his job and that the players do not want to and cannot afford to lose a season. In this economy very few can afford to be losing paychecks and even in the inflated economic world of the NBA this reigns true.
The players have scheduled a conference call with all 30 team representatives and I cross my fingers that some logic prevails in these talks. I believe the owners have gone as high as they will go. They will not go any higher than the 49-51 band which really is 50-50. Conversely, while they will not go higher, the owners will not hesitate to drop the BRI split for the players. The window for the players to get the best deal they can is now. The window will close on Wednesday and for the sake of this season I hope the players jump through that window. It is no longer about a fair deal because the players will not get fair. They need to take this deal and get what they can rather than hold out for nothing and lose more than they already have. Its not about fairness, it is about reality. As Stephen A Smith says, "A fair is where they judge pigs". Take the deal players. You will not regret it.Follow @tarmosino

White Pumpkin - 1.5 lbs (approx), peeled and cubed
Red Chori Beans or Black eyed Peas - 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup, soaked for a few hours
Green Chillies - 8 to 10, slit into two
Coconut milk - 1/3 cup (I use coconut milk powder + water)
Salt - to taste
For Seasoning:
Coconut Oil - 1 tsp (any other oil will work too)
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves - few
Asafoetida (hing) - a pinch
1) In a bowl that will fit into a pressure cooker, combine soaked beans, pumpkin pieces, green chillies and salt. Add about 2/3 cup of water and pressure cook this till beans are soft (3 to 4 whistles).
2) Heat a pan with coconut oil and season with mustard seeds, curry leaves and hing. Add the cooked pumpkin + beans mixture and the coconut milk. Simmer for a few minutes and it's ready to serve.
TIP: If you have forgotten to soak the beans, fret not. Just dry-rost them in a pan for a few minutes and pressure cook them separately for a few more minutes than usual. When I do this, I just cook the pumpkin with some water separately in a pan and add the cooked beans when done.
I served it with Long Beans Thoran and Samba (Red) Rice.

Remya.. You can use the canned coconut milk or the coconut milk powder that you get everywhere. Hope you try it. Thanks for your comment.
yummy..looks great laavanya..had a Q tho..did the pumpkin get mushy when u pressure cooked it..mine always does....ReplyDelete
Rajitha, If I make the cubes big enough and if the beans has already been soaked, I've not had that problem. That's why when the beans are not soaked and will take a while to cook, i prefer to cook the pumpkin separately.ReplyDelete
looks great, Laavanya! This would make a great one dish meal if i cook the rice along with the other ingredients :)ReplyDelete
I want to try this recipe...Looks delicious and easy to make!Thanx for sharing Olan recipe!!ReplyDelete
Olan is always yum!ReplyDelete
aahh..thanks laav..wll do this next time..make bigger pumpkin pcs :)ReplyDelete

Giving family fun a gentle push
News editor
Chingawassa Days has several events that have become annual fixtures: concerts, barbecue, pancake feed, and chainsaw carving are just a few.
"I don't think it's any secret that there are things we seem to have every year," committee member Mike Powers said.
A few years ago, the committee thought one staple event — the bed race — was running out of steam. The committee was prepared to let the races cease, but a couple of volunteers took up the responsibility to keep it going.
Torey Hett and Jarvis Whiteman participated in the bed races from the beginning, and they weren't ready to let them disappear.
"It's a good time," Hett said. "You don't hear about bed races all over the place."
A team includes four pushers and one rider. Team members must be at least 10 years old. Anyone under 18 must have a parent's permission. The entry fee for the bed races is $25 for a team.
This year's field for the bed races is as deep as ever. There were 12 teams signed up on Friday, and there are always some latecomers, Hett said.
"It will keep 'rolling,' excuse me, for a little while," Powers said.
The bed races will be at 9 a.m. Saturday on Main Street.

Introducing him as a "prophet to a post-Christian age," Drew Christiansen, S.J., editor in chief of America, welcomed Rowan Williams, the archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, as the recipient of the 2009 Campion Award for Achievement in Christian Letters. "As a poet, theologian, apologist, culture critic and translator, the archbishop has heightened readers' receptivity to transcendence, opened their minds to revelation and diagnosed the spiritual ills that debilitate our...culture," Father Christiansen said.
Archbishop Williams was honored at a reception on Jan. 25 at America House in New York. The Campion award is named for the 16th-century English Jesuit who boldly defended Catholicism in his writing. He is remembered by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England as one of the 40 martyrs of England and Wales.
Father Christiansen described the Campion award to Archbishop Williams as "an ecumenical event blessed and guided by our martyred forebears, both Anglican and Catholic. It is also a celebration of our common ministry of the word. For in his prolific career as a scholar and writer, Archbishop Williams has shared in the ministry of the word at which St. Edmund Campion excelled and to which the Society of Jesus is committed."
In accepting the award, Archbishop Williams called the prize "an act of ecumenical generosity and fellowship." He said "martyrial ecumenism," the Anglican and Catholic decisions to honor the same martyrs, began an experience of conversion not unlike that of St. Paul when he began to see the face of Jesus in the faces of those he had persecuted. "It has been a deep dimension of Christian holiness to be able to go to one's brothers and sisters in repentance and receive from those you've offended or excluded the grace of God's welcome," said Archbishop Williams. "When our churches learn to celebrate fully and gladly each others' martyrs, as they have begun to do, then that moment of Paul's conversion comes alive again."
The archbishop said that Edmund Campion has long had a place among his own interests, recounting an academic theory that a young William Shakespeare spent some time learning the "trade of school-mastering" at the same English nobleman's home where Campion was a guest. Archbishop Williams mused about the conversations that might have taken place between the young playwright and the Jesuit. "I like to think that the priest on his way to martyrdom may very well have sown a seed there," he said. "Martyrdom is excessive, extravagant and foolish...[a] profound witness about the depths of human possibility in the face of what can in some circumstances seem like fathomless evil." It affirms that something is worth dying for, he added; "It is the grace, the love, the infinite compassion of God."
In a homily during a prayer service afterward to mark the close of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Bishop William F. Murphy of Rockville Centre, N.Y., noted that the cause of ecumenism "has become problematic between our two communities." Nevertheless, he told Archbishop Williams, "you have never abandoned either your respect for the office you hold or the cause of ecumenism."
Bishop Murphy continued: "The dignity with which you have upheld your office in all our ecumenical relations is a lesson to us [all]. The fidelity to the word of God which marks your preaching and teaching is a sign of one who with all his heart seeks to be Pauline in inspiration and in word."

Will provide tools for access to health care, ensure health care is responsive to change.
Governor Sarah Palin has introduced the Alaska Health Care Transparency Act which will provide more effective tools to help Alaskans access affordable health care, and to ensure the health care system is responsive to changing demographics and market conditions.
The Act includes some recommendations from the Health Care Strategies Planning Council and the Health and Social Services Certificate of Need Negotiated Rule Making Committee.
"I thank the members of these two committees," Governor Palin said. "They worked diligently to evaluate the broad spectrum of the health care system in our state. After reviewing their work, I am establishing the Alaska Health Care Commission to further health care planning from a statewide perspective, by building on the work they have done."
The bill would establish an Alaska health care information office to give consumers factual information on quality, cost and other important matters to help them make better-informed decisions about health care in the state. Recognizing that health care must be market-and business-driven, rather than restricted by government, Palin is proposing a repeal of the Certificate of Need program (CON).
CON is a regulatory process that requires certain health care providers to obtain state approval before offering certain new or expanded services.
Health and Social Services Commissioner Karleen Jackson concluded that the CON program does not benefit the citizens of Alaska, given the litigious environment surrounding it.
The reports from the two committees are available online at: http://www.hss.state.ak.us/commissioner/legislature/

Progress Pictures and an Upcoming Move!
by exercisebeforeknitting
Thanks for the sympathetic comments about my raglan. I'm actually quite content with leaving the sweater as it is. After all, I really wished I had some nice sweaters when I was pregnant but I just couldn't justify knitting something that I would only be able to wear for a few months. I'm going to consider this a happy accident.
I do have some progress pictures for you from my Sunrise Circle Jacket. The Skye Tweed I'm using gives a row gauge of 5.5/in instead of the 7/in called for by the pattern. I was a bit concerned about this so I knit one of the sleeves/fronts first. I settled on the 33″ bust size (when I would normally have made the 35″ or 37″) and it worked out well. I may have to shorten the sleeves later but that shouldn't be a huge deal.
I'm almost up to the raglan shaping on the second sleeve – this sweater just flies off my needles! In part, I think this is because I haven't made anything that knits up at a gauge of 4.5 sts/in in ages. It feels like Big Wool!
I'll leave you with a few unfinished sewing projects. The first, one that I totally ripped off of the awesome Pam of Flint Knits (please don't hate me for copying your style, Pam!) I think I'll trim this with some red bias tape. I'm going to make the romper but pair it with some red corduroy pants instead of a diaper cover.
Next up is a sunny little dress that Beatrix will only be able to wear for a few days if I don't put the zipper in soon. *sigh*
Finally, I have to say that two years of battling Blogger is sending me over to WordPress. More details in my next post but the move will be accompanied by a blog contest and a free pattern (to bribe you sweeties to move your rss subscriptions!)

22 May 2013 at 3.45pm | Comment on this article
Ramin Gray's production of Gerald Barry's opera The Importance of Being Earnest is exuberant bordering on outrageous, with instrumentation featuring megaphones, pistols and wellington boots. It also includes an ostinato for 40 plates, all of which are smashed by goggle-wearing percussionists. In short, it is a fitting match for Wilde's absurdist comedy of manners.
'When you hear Gerald's music it is — in the best way — like a crazy child let who has been let loose with crayons and scribbled all over the manuscript,' says Ramin. 'The challenge is to keep that bubbly, champagne-like quality you can get off a concert performance, and make it live as a fully staged production.'
Ramin, the former Associate Director of the Royal Court Theatre, met Barry at a concert performance of the opera in April 2012.
'Ramin felt it worked so well in concert that one of the tasks of the director was not to screw that up by the wrong kind of staging,' said Barry in an interview with Michael Dervan for The Royal Opera House Magazine, the publication of the Friends of Covent Garden. 'The theatre is written into the music, which is something I did instinctively.'
Following sell-out success at concert performances at the Barbican last April, Barry's fast and furious score has already been hailed as a comic masterpiece. Pushing singers to the extremes of their vocal spectrum, the music careers from distorted snatches of Beethoven and Schoenberg, to fortissimo orchestral eruptions and melodic serenades. In another twist, the aging Lady Bracknell is sung by a bass, delivering the famous line 'A handbag?' as a violent retch.
'Sometimes I think of the opera as being like a jumper that's been turned inside out,' continues Ramin. 'It is the same thing it always was, just seen a different way. This goes right back to what Oscar Wilde's whole process was: the process of paradox, giving you something and absolutely turning it on its head. You re-think it, you re-see it and re-experience it.'
The Importance of Being Earnest will be performed at the Barbican, London from March – April 2016, and at the Rose Theater, New York in June 2016. Find out more about booking dates.
The production is generously supported by The John S Cohen Foundation.

Things we learned on Night One of The Voice's Season 4 Live Playoffs:
Shakira is nothing more than "a little ant in the infinity of the universe." (Her words, not mine.) Usher has either very dubious taste in music or a very sneaky strategy of saddling his two least-favorite team members with a pair of the most overplayed ditties in the history of reality singing competitions. There may have been something stronger than coffee in Blake Shelton's Starbucks cup. And Christina Milian never fails to disappoint in a live interview scenario. (Her dingbattery is so reliable at this point that I dare say it borders on impressive!)
But enough about those jaunty judges — let's try and get some focus back on the contestants by running down tonight's set list with letter grades for every performance. (Just to clarify, America will vote through two members of Team Adam and two from Team Usher, then the coaches will save one of their two remaining "at risk" contestants.)
Team Adam: Amber Carrington — Rihanna's "Stay" | Here's hoping Amber getting the dreaded lead-off spot (well, after the disjointed Team Usher group performance) doesn't leave the country diva in need of a save from her coach. Because, honestly, her combination of technical perfection, vocal clarity, intriguing riffs on the melody and quiet emotional power was the best thing that happened all night. (Plus, girlfriend KILLED IT on the really excellent Team Adam performance of "Shake It Out.") Bottom line: Season 4 without Amber would be like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup without the chocolate. Grade: A
Team Usher: Josiah Hawley — Muse's "Starlight" | Shakira was right that this was Josiah's best performance to date — dude hit most of his notes and didn't get drown out by the band as badly as he did on his Amy Winehouse cover last week. That said, his tone is as common as a dandelion on your front yard in April, and the way his nose kept hitting the mic drove me bonkers (a shallow complaint, but nevertheless a deeply held one). Grade: B-
Team Adam: Sarah Simmons — Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" | There's something seriously intriguing about the way Sarah's voice shreds in certain places and gets all goose-down delicate in others. And while Usher was right that "there were a few little things" (that's Wuss-anese for "you hit a couple hinky notes, grrrlll!"), there's no denying Sarah also brought a stark emotionalism (and a Stevie Nicks Collection cape) to the number that was mesmerizing. Grade: A-
Team Usher: Cathia — Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" | Phooey! Getting stuck with "I Have Nothing" is like being forced to order seafood at a restaurant on Mondays: You know you're not getting anything fresh, and you just have to hope that it doesn't end in feelings of cold sweats and nausea. Cathia sounded pretty solid on the first third of the ballad, but after that, only about half of her adlibs managed landed in the right spot. Usher's faint praise was a pretty clear sign that she won't be the one getting his save come Wednesday — and let's be honest, she's gonna need it. Grade: C+
Team Adam: Caroline Glaser — Ed Sheeran's "The A Team" | There's no denying her tone's as bright and intoxicating as fresh lilacs, and yet Caroline's affected pronunciations and stylized approach hinder the effectiveness of her performances. Even after a second listen, I could only understand maybe 40 percent of the words Caroline sang during the middle third of the performance — and that's a problem for a gal who wants to reside in the singer-songwriter universe, no? [Side note: I did not appreciate Carson's leading segue into Blake's critique, insisting that because Caroline was in the country coach's "wheelhouse" that he "must've loved it." Don't put words in Blake's mouth! Harumph.] Grade: B
Team Usher: Vedo — Phil Collins' "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" | And just when you thought "I Have Nothing" had wrapped up the title for the Night's Most Played-Out Song Choice, Usher goes and gives "Against All FRAKKING ODDS" to Vedo (who is an aspiring musician but has never heard of Phil Collins — alrighty then). Nevertheless, the guy took his boulder-sized lemon and made a decent pitcher of Country Time thanks to a stripped-down, piano-heavy arrangement and an impressive commitment to his task that upgraded the tired ballad to something that approached the corner of "stirring" and "fairly solid." Grade: B
Team Usher: Michelle Chamuel — Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" | I'm not gonna lie: I teared up during Michelle's rehearsal package, at about the exact same time she teared up answering Usher's question what "True Colors" meant to her. And while her tempo seemed a wee bit off on the opening lines, she quickly yanked out her in-ear monitor and hit her stride, delivering the ballad with a music-box delicacy that was in stark contrast to her rousing "Raise Your Glass" last week. And unlike so many "quirky" contestants we've seen on reality singing shows through the years, Michelle's gawky squats and oversized glasses and general sweet-goofiness fit her as comfortably as an old t-shirt. She's the real deal — as a singer and a personality. Grade: A-
Team Adam: Judith Hill — Nina Simone's "Feeling Good" | This just in…Los Angeles police have put out an APB desperately seeking the melody of "Feeling Good," which inexplicably vanished during Judith Hill's cover on tonight's episode of The Voice. Okay, I kid, I kid! Well, only partially. There's no denying Judith's got huge pipes and an undeniable charisma, but her performance tonight simply tried too hard to put a fresh spin on a standard that's been done by Adam Lambert, Melanie Amaro, Carly Rose Sonenclar, Jennifer Hudson (in that amazing Weight Watchers commercial), Dez Duron, (most recently) Lazaro Arbos and too many other reality singing show competitiors to list. None of Judith's melodic choices really captured the celebratory vibe of the number, and I particularly hated the meaninglessness of that elongated pause and exaggerated stomp with her back to the stage after "freedom is mine." I know it's easy to take shots at early front-runners, to want to drag them back in line with the pack so they don't pull too far ahead and ruin the fun of the competition, but in this case, Judith got clearly outperformed by two of her three #TeamAdam cohorts. She ought to be in trouble, but all the early hype (and a powerful showing on the group rendition of "Shake It Out") mean she probably won't be. Grade: B
And with that, let me turn things over to you. What did you think of the first night of Season 4 Live Playoffs? Who was your favorite? Who's going to be in trouble come results night?

How to share your pBiblx2 server IP publicly.
Note: 7/28/2011 Testing is nearly completed on a DNS forwarding component that will allow our pBiblx2 server to forward your users to your dynamic IP. On your side an ip update is sent to our component. Your users then could be pointed to your address with a URL such as shepeherdpuplinux.us/seeds.pl?Seed=YOURSEEDNAME. Stay tuned!
Internet Domain Names
There are simple ways to share your pBiblx2 Field Wise Bible server with others even if you do not have an existing Internet "Domain Name" and are restricted to "Dynamic IP Addresses" by your Internet provider. The easiest is to register with one of the many free Dynamic DNS services.
- Here is but a few of them:
- http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/
- http://www.zoneedit.com/doc/dynamic.html
- http://freedns.afraid.org/
Basically, they'll allow you to append a name of your choosing onto one of their existing general purpose domain names (example "MYNAME".HOMELINUX.NET). This way all you have to do is hand/email your intended users your domain name, far better than your IP address especially if your address constantly changes (dynamic). Most of these services provide a update client so that when your boot your server, their client on your server updates their records of what IP address your server is currently on. Some services even have a client program that can be run by your home Internet router.
Be aware that these free services often are trying to sell you service upgrades (not necessarily a bad thing if your domain catches on). My particular service informs me monthly via email that my free domain name must be re-registered in order to continue service ( a small inconvenience for such a valuable free service).
Firewalls on home routers
Another issue that may or may not effect your public pBiblx2 server is the firewall settings on your home router. Most all consumer units have a web interface that you'd log into to administrate the firewall settings. You will want to enable "HTTP FORWARDING" on port 80 forwarding to port 80 on your pBiblx2 servers IP address.
On my router I have also enabled STATIC IP ASSIGNMENT by MAC so that my pBiblx server doesn't change address locally. There are plenty of HOWTO articles around if this isn't documented in your router manual already. Typically this much more simple than it sounds as this is a fairly common user requirement.
If another additional HTTP server is being offered publicly on your LAN, you may have to change port numbers, which in turn might involve changing the port binding in the /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf file.

Blind Items Revealed
This B- list mostly movie actress is still married. She and her celebrity husband have definitely hit a rough patch. Part of the reason might be the fling she is having with her publicist. The two are inseparable.
Paula Patton
Posted by ent lawyer at 9:00 AM
Labels: blind items revealed
it's the publicist's baby then huh?? should be due by now.
When will these awful people disappear? Hasn't it been 15 minutes?
That poor guy. Suffering through a relationship with a filthy cheating spouse. I am glad he found the courage to leave.
aha... interesting choice, explains why it played out the way it did...
You aren't honestly blaming Paula for that implopsion are you? What choice did she have?
Getit girl!
We are assuming its a guy?
I just saw Hitch again recently and realized she was in it. She was so hot! But robin sucked the life out of her and used it as hair gel.
Glad she found someone. Its not fun being married to a jerk.
Count you need to quit it! Robin has notoriously been screwing multiple woman for years. Paula's doing one - not that I'm condoning any of it. They shouldn't be married - but none of that poor Robin crap!
Turnabout is fair play
Maybe her baby and rhihanas can hang out.
The publicist looks a lot like Thicke. People do tend to go for the same physical type, over and over again.
She's supposed to be a casting couch queen.
Please, they obviously had an agreement that women were fair game, demonstrated by their alleged frequent 3sums, but she she decided that their marriage and arrangement meant nothing to her when she went out chasing dick. Poor Robin. It must really hurt to be disrespected like that.
I think they had a open relationship as long as there was no public embrassment, like alot of HW "couples".
They were also supposed to have crazy anything goes parties.
Well lnown these two liked to cat around. Ho hum. I guess it was ok when he did it, but not when she did.
HEy A.C. I thought Jerkula was joking? Maybe not.
For years it was speculated she was the one running around. And that she only married him due to his father's connections. It's only in the last few years the heats been in him. Interestingly, it's a publicist she is cheating with. Gotta control the spin.
*on him
Good god man. Put a tampon in and pull it together.
I think the sarcasm was airborne on that one A.C. it's good that you didn't catch it though.
Sugarbread: HA!
@Jessica Larson
I concur.
Nobody can convince me that Robin Thicke is/was smart or discreet enough to do anything behind anyone's back.
Just like they can't convince me that a sane woman would agree to a monogamous relationship with Robin Thicke.
It just took me 15 minutes to remember who she is
WHAT A.C.???? Say it isn't so!!!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
If y'all keep cock blocking my trolling, I'm going to have to find a different gossip site.
Team Get Some, gurrrl.
Is it a woman or a man?
No please stay!! I need all the porn and lube whore advice I can get!!
I love it... this is what 90% of women sound like.
@Count Jerkula
Don't you dare! You and Seven of Eleven are the reason I joined CDaN.
@Sugarbread: Gun Oil. A buddy who works in a midwest porn shop says the gays travel many miles to but it there. Comes in Silicone and water based. I guess the water based would be better for vag sex.
LOL! When I just Googled it, I saw they have it at CVS now.
@Yoj: 7 is the wholesome Yin to my scumbag Yang.
@Jordan: That is what I was going for. If I was a little more of a lunatic, I would save quotes from the broads here badmouthing male cheaters and repost em for tales of female cheaters. Would be great to catch someone arguing with their own words.
You go Paula!!! Good for you.
@Count Jerkula
They "travel many miles to [butt] it there" or "to [buy] it there"?
Either would work, I suppose.
it's at cvs?? great i can use my rewards card for butt lube.. awesome!!!
Poor Paula is not so much a victim.
Go Paula! Have some fun and fuck his ass.
When I said fuck his ass I was referring to how her actions would affect Robin (fuck his ass over - go get some for yourself). Then again my comment could be taken many different ways. I hope Miss Paula is taking it, giving it and getting it all the ways she pleases.

Paraben Cell Seizure
Paraben Cell Seizure is a piece of software that serves the main purpose of collection and examining data pulled from various types of cell phones. It is part of Paraben's collection of forensics tools.
The main goal of Cell Seizure is to organize and report various types of files. Following the same guidelines as other Paraben products, Cell Seizure is able to generate comprehensive HTML reports of acquired data. Moreover the software is able to retrieve deleted files and check for file integrity.
One important advantage that separates Paraben's Cell Seizure from other similar products is the fact that it is designed not to change the data stored on the SIM card or cell phone. In other words, all of the data can be examined while keeping the process undetected. Most commercial or free software for cell phones is designed do not only view data but to upload data to cell phones. This is not a safe way to perform a forensic evaluation of cell phone data. In fact, even some forensic software warns of possible data loss. Cell Seizure does not allow data to be changed on the phone.

Remember when you needed an invitation to get a Gmail account? Google is using a similar system to sell its smartglasses to more users.
The Mountain View, Calif., tech company announced Monday that current Google Glass users will be able to extend an invitation to buy one of the company's $1,500 smartglasses to three of their friends.
Google has yet to release Glass to the general public, but earlier this year, thousands of users were able to buy the device after being selected and invited by Google to be "Glass Explorers."
The company is unlikely to launch Glass to all consumers until next year, but Monday's announcement seems to indicate that Google may be close since it is expanding its early program.
Those who receive invitations from current Glass users will have the option of ordering the device online or visiting Google to pick up the gadget.
"We're counting on you to get Glass to the people you think will make great Explorers," the company said on Google+. "More Explorers means more feedback, and more feedback means better Glass."
Google is also allowing current users to swap out their Glass devices with newer versions for free. The new models look exactly the same as before but have been slightly modified so they can work with new shades and fit prescription frames, which will be available in the future.
The new models also come with a mono ear bud so users can receive sound directly into their ears. Currently, Glass transmits sounds through vibrations that users feel on the sides of their heads.
Current users will have two months to swap out their units of Glass. Google said the swap is an opportunity for users to also switch the color of their device.

It will be colder at Vikings home games in 2014 and 2015.
Vikings vice president Lester Bagley announced Friday that the team intends to play the 2014 and 2015 seasons at TCF Bank Stadium while their new stadium is built on the grounds of the Metrodome. The Associated Press reports that the team hoped to play just one year outdoors, but it wasn't feasible to begin construction on their new home with the old one still in place.
The Vikings' temporary digs on the campus of the University of Minnesota hosted a game when the Metrodome's roof collapsed due to a heavy snowfall. Other than that game, though, the Vikings haven't hosted opponents in the elements since 1981.
Bagley also said that Mortensen Construction, the firm hired to build the stadium, would draw up plans for a retractable roof, wall or window to the stadium. He said the team was "very interested" in including that feature in the stadium and that a decision would likely be reached in 90 days.
Until that stadium's built, though, there won't be any choice in allowing Mother Nature to play a role on Sundays.

This is not Pakistan. This is not Somalia. This is not Yemen. This is not Libya; he should have continued.
We are waging war all through Western Asia and Africa. mainly against terrorists but we also took on Muammar Ghadaffi and now Bashar al Assad; the legitimate leaders of their respective countries.
We are still waiting on the case against Ghadaffi and for honest answers on the impending anniversary of the Benghazi massacre.
For a president who pledged to push the "reset" button, Mr. Obama has become the most warlike leader our country has ever known. In May he declared the "War on Terror", which he had renamed "contingency operations", over. Now he wants to go once again to war.
He drew a red line in the sand and then redrew it again and yet we still do not have a compelling case nor a desired end state for an operation in Syria.
The Syrians, Iranians, and Russians have promised a wider war should we act. Russian destroyers have been located to the Mediterranean near Syria to back this threat up, and the Iranians have promised missile strikes on Israel. We are in a high stakes poker game and Mr. Obama is the mark.
In the background the Saudi Arabians and Gulf Arabs are supporting some form of moderate resistance in Syria to counter Iran, but are unable to rein in the Islamist extremists. There is a tri-polar political conflict between the Sunni moderates; the Islamists and the neo-Iranian Empire. And then comes the ROW (Rest of World).
In reading the political history of the Ottoman Empire in the late 1700's and 1800's one can begin to understand the complexities and importance of stability in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Ottomans balanced constantly changing relationships very similar to today.
The dream of empire by Napoleon in Egypt and the changing alliances of the Ottomans with the British Empire, the Tsar, and Napoleon, especially with the fates of subject peoples such as the Greeks, Moldovans, Armenians, Bulgarians, Syrians, etc in constant play required that the Sultanate despite is decrepitude and corruption be upheld.
Now, 200 years later the chronological snobbery of the new great powers is leading to an even more volatile end state. Under the Sultan, Shia and Christian and Sunni were allowed to practice their faiths but now we have a state of religious civil war at hand. Egypt narrowly missed being drawn into the maelstrom. Libya is in constant tribal conflict.
But Syria represents a new Karbala, a call to the front lines for Sunni vs. Shia.
But this time the dark shadows of modern warfare overhang everything. Chemical warfare, air strikes, and heavy artillery generate massive casualties very rapidly. Syria is tearing itself apart with the help of a wide range of outside enablers. A dictator willing to use all means at his disposal is fighting to hang on.
And in Washington and Moscow and the West there is no clearly iterated reason for our involvement. We cannot abide the use of chemical weapons except when we can, as we did with Saddam Hussein's use of poison gas versus the Iranians and his own people.
Mr. Obama means well, but the sad fact remains that the down side in getting involved in Syria is much greater than the up side.

My preference was Jeremy Tyler, who we very well could have bought, but the Knicks opted to purchase Kentucky center Josh Harrellson. The Knicks paid between 700,000 and 750,000 for Harrellson. Tyler was purchased by the Golden State Warriors 6 spots earlier. The Nets purchased the 31st pick in the draft, we could have had Tyler. I actually really like Harrellson but I can't help but think that we could have had both players for a relatively small price. It's not like the New York Knicks are short on money and I think Tyler would have been well worth it. Anyways back to the point. I do love Harrellson. When I wrote about him working out, I praised his great motor and big frame. I love his 6'10, 275 pound frame and the way he bangs on the boards. If the season started tomorrow, Harrellson would be playing good minutes. Turiaf breaks down after about 15 minutes and we need to find 33 minutes of center time. Harrellson could help fill those as well as Jerome Jordan, our second rounder from last year. Jared Jeffries and Shelden Williams are free agents and could be re signed although doubtful. We don't have spending money unless we use our mid level exemption so bringing in another center is unlikely. Either way, I really like the Harrellson selection. I would have really loved having Tyler and Harrellson but Knicks hierarchy had a different view. I'm still very pleased with this selection as well as the selection of Shumpert in the first round.
