"Ballroom dancing is a contact sport. Rugby is a collision sport." Heyneke Meyer, former Springboks coach.
Mr Meyer hit the nail on the head. The sport of rugby is as a pitched battle with a ball. The players are modern gladiators and the fans are the baying crowds.
For one May weekend, and two finals between – Dublin is the Colosseum.
But before the Leinster meet Stade Francais in the Amlin Challege Cup Final and RC Toulon meet AS Clermont Auvergne in the H Cup Final, take some time to explore rugby's capital.
It's Friday morning in Dublin. By 20:00 you'll be cheering your Amlin Challenge Cup heroes onto the field – but before that, let's see the city.
Start at the beginning – Trinity College Dublin. Not only a Dublin landmark and the beating heart of Ireland's Cricket scene, this happens to be the home of one of the oldest Rugby Clubs in the world. Just 30 years after Webb Ellis invented the game in 1823, the club was founded right here at Dublin's city centre.
The playwright and the park
Pre game, get some air by dipping into Georgian Dublin's greatest centrepiece: Merrion Square. Not only do the Natural History Museum and the National Gallery sit side by side, but the park there is one of the city's smallest and finest. If you spot Oscar Wilde amid the greenery, tell him we said hello. The literary genius may be buried in Paris, but he began his life on this very square.

Regardless of the result, you still need to eat. Swing over to hipster central on George's Street for a bite. Fancy a steak? Hit up Bear, a restaurant co-owned by Leinster number 8, Jamie Heaslip – he may not be there that evening, though, as he'll be recovering from his pitch-side battle with Stade Francais.
Just around the corner, Fade Street Social is shiny new and already becoming a firm favourite. Expect funky food without the huge price tag.
And so to bed – tomorrow is a big day.
It's H Cup Final day but before kick off, you've got a bus to catch. Dublin's Hop on Hop Off Tours will guide you around the city's hot-spots from snapshots of the city's liquid legacy at the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery to vast cathedrals and Viking remains. Speaking of which, the Viking Splash tour takes to the river Liffey daily from Stephen's Green and has shot to the top of Dublin's quirky/cool list.

For a taste of the pre-match atmosphere take a stroll down Baggot Street. Not just easy access to the Aviva Stadium, this stretch of Georgian Dublin is regularly called 'The Baggot Mile' for its profusion of excellent pubs. And if they're lively for the rest of the year, you can only imagine what they're like on match day (ask anyone who's been to Dublin for a Six Nations showdown, and they'll tell you the same). Toners, O'Donoghue's and, over the canal, Searsons and the Waterloo are essential visits before kick off. They all do pretty good lunches, too, so you'll be well prepped for the roaring atmosphere of the Aviva Stadium later on.
Simply watching 80 minutes of full-tilt rugby can make anyone hungry again. You can keep it casual and pop into Beshoffs at the Grand Canal for a hold-in-hand fish and chip supper (remember to add plenty of vinegar!) or you could grab a Fillet of Dundalk Beef with Parsnip Cream at The Chop House. This place is busily adding awards to its already long list, so you're guaranteed a treat.
Remember that the final whistle doesn't mean you have to high-tail it to the airport. Stick around: Dublin's doorstep has a trick or two up its sleeve for the next day.
On a sleepy Sunday, the DART (Dublin's seaside rail system) is your best friend. Hop on and, north or south, all you'll find is cute seaside villages, beaches and excellent seafood chowder. Oh, and a friendly seal or two.
To stretch your legs let the dark whisk you to Howth where the peninsula boasts one of the finest loop walks on the east coast. Howth Castle, Howth Abbey and Baily Lighthouse mark this trot out as a picture-perfect stroll. Fresh air will leave you hungry, so pop into Aqua on the pier for a bowl of chowder flecked with Dublin Prawns and fresh mussels.
Should you find yourself drawn south, hop off at Killiney and walk the Vico Road back to Dalkey, a village of boutique restaurants, cosy pubs and its own medieval castle. The area here is known as 'Ireland's Riviera' and with names like Bono, The Edge and Enya calling it home, there's plenty of star-spotting to be had.
Win, lose or draw it's weekends like this that make Dublin worth the trip.

Tornado is a Python Web framework and asynchronous networking library that provides excellent scalability due to its non-blocking network I/O. It also greatly facilitates building a RESTful API quickly. These features are central to Tornado, as it is the open-source version of FriendFeed's Web server. A few weeks ago, Tornado 3. was released, and it introduced many improvements. In this article, I show how to build a RESTful API with the latest Tornado Web framework and I illustrate how to take advantage of its asynchronous features.
Mapping URL Patterns to Request Handlers
To get going, download the latest stable version and perform a manual installation or execute an automatic installation with
pip by running
pip install tornado.
To build a RESTful API with Tornado, it is necessary to map URL patterns to your subclasses of
tornado.web.RequestHandler, which override the methods to handle HTTP requests to the URL. For example, if you want to handle an HTTP
GET request with a synchronous operation, you must create a new subclass of
tornado.web.RequestHandler and define the
get() method. Then, you map the URL pattern in
Listing One shows a very simple RESTful API that declares two subclasses of
tornado.web.RequestHandler that define the
get method:
VersionHandler and
Listing One: A simple RESTful API in Tornado.
from datetime import date import tornado.escape import tornado.ioloop import tornado.web class VersionHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): def get(self): response = { 'version': '3.5.1', 'last_build': date.today().isoformat() } self.write(response) class GetGameByIdHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): def get(self, id): response = { 'id': int(id), 'name': 'Crazy Game', 'release_date': date.today().isoformat() } self.write(response) application = tornado.web.Application([ (r"/getgamebyid/([0-9]+)", GetGameByIdHandler), (r"/version", VersionHandler) ]) if __name__ == "__main__": application.listen(8888) tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
The code is easy to understand. It creates an instance of
tornado.web.Application named
application with the collection of request handlers that make up the Web application. The code passes a list of tuples to the
Application constructor. The list is composed of a regular expression (
regexp) and a
tornado.web.RequestHandler subclass (
request_class). The
application.listen method builds an HTTP server for the application with the defined rules on the specified port. In this case, the code uses the default
8888 port. Then, the call to
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start() starts the server created with
When the Web application receives a request, Tornado iterates over that list and creates an instance of the first
tornado.web.RequestHandler subclass whose associated regular expression matches the request path, and then calls the
put() or
options() method with the corresponding parameters for the new instance based on the HTTP request. For example, Table 1 shows some HTTP requests that match the regular expressions defined in the previous code.
|HTTP verb and request URL
|Tuple (regexp, request_class) that matches the request path
|RequestHandler subclass and method that is called
GET http://localhost:8888/getgamebyid/500
(r"/getgamebyid/([0-9]+)", GetGameByIdHandler)
GET http://localhost:8888/version
(r"/version", VersionHandler)
Table 1: Matching HTTP requests.
The simplest case is the
VersionHandler.get method, which just receives
self as a parameter because the URL pattern doesn't include any parameter. The method creates a
response dictionary, then calls the
self.write method with
response as a parameter. The
self.write method writes the received chunk to the output buffer. Because the chunk (
response) is a dictionary,
self.write writes it as JSON and sets the
Content-Type of the response to
application/json. The following lines show the example response for
GET http://localhost:8888/version and the response headers:
{"last_build": "2013-08-08", "version": "3.5.1" Date: Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:45:04 GMT Etag: "d733ae69693feb59f735e29bc6b93770afe1684f" Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Server: TornadoServer/3.1 Content-Length: 48</p>
If you want to send the data with a different
Content-Type, you can call the
self.set_header with
"Content-Type" as the response header name and the desired value for it. You have to call
self.set_header after calling
self.write, as shown in Listing Two. It sets the
Content-Type to
text/plain instead of the default
application/json in a new version of the
VersionHandler class. Tornado encodes all header values as UTF-8.
Listing Two: Changing the content type.
class VersionHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): def get(self): self.write("Version: 3.5.1. Last build: " + date.today().isoformat()) self.set_header("Content-Type", "text/plain")
The following lines show the example response for
GET http://localhost:8888/version and the response headers with the new version of the
VersionHandler class:
Server: TornadoServer/3.1 Content-Type: text/plain Etag: "c305b564aa650a7d5ae34901e278664d2dc81f37" Content-Length: 38 Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2013 02:50:48 GMT
GetGameByIdHandler.get method receives two parameters:
self and
id. The method creates a
response dictionary that includes the integer value received for the
id parameter, then calls the
self.write method with
response as a parameter. The sample doesn't include any validation for the
id parameter in order to keep the code as simple as possible, as I'm focused on the way in which the
get method works. I assume you already know how to perform validations in Python. The following lines show the example response for
GET http://localhost:8888/getgamebyid/500 and the response headers:
{"release_date": "2013-08-09", "id": 500, "name": "Crazy Game"} Content-Length: 63 Server: TornadoServer/3.1 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Etag: "489191987742a29dd10c9c8e90c085bd07a22f0e" Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2013 03:17:34 GMT
If you need to access additional request parameters such as the headers and body data, you can access them through
self.request. This variable is a
tornado.httpserver.HTTPRequest instance that provides all the information about the HTTP request. The
HTTPRequest class is defined in

subset: commoncrawl

DirecTV Slashes "Hot Pass" Prices
Normally, when email starts coming to The Daly Planet in clumps, it is clear right away what is going on. Over the past year, we have seen many issues which aroused the ire of the NASCAR fans and sent them directly to their computer keyboards.
This time, however, things are a bit different. Our friends at DirecTV have just finished a major campaign to have existing users of their NASCAR "Hot Pass" service sign-up for the 2008 NASCAR season.
Fans noticed that the service had shrunk from five driver channels to four. They also noticed that the number of races featuring "Hot Pass" has declined from the previous season. What has not changed was the price, which was around the ninety dollar mark for a season-long subscription.
Many fans wrote to say DirecTV renewed them automatically at the pre-set rate for 2008, regardless of their personal preferences and without contacting them by email.
It was back in December of 2006 that the always colorful Aussie David Hill created "Hot Pass" during a rather "inspired" moment at a bar in Charlotte, NC. Hill, who is chairman of the Fox Sports TV Group and President of DirectTV, had been watching NASCAR racing live earlier in the day, and marveled at how the fans in the stands could hear their favorite driver's team radio channel, listen to the PRN radio broadcast of the race, and watch the action all at the same time.
Needless to say, "Hot Pass" is an attempt to duplicate that ability for the fans watching at home. While cable TV is a bit more limited in technology, Hill had all the tools (and channels) already in place at DirecTV to get the project accomplished.
In 2007, "Hot Pass" had critical success with a wide variety of NASCAR announcers including Ray Dunlap, Wendy Venturini, Rick Allen and Michael Waltrip offering commentary on a specific driver's channel. Fans liked the ability to move around, switch the audio streams, and even to keep the race going while the network was in commercial break.
Back in 2006, Hill estimated that he would need about 250 thousand subscribers paying the full annual fee to break even on the service. DirecTV must pay a fee to the TV broadcaster originating the race, and then NASCAR and all the on-site production folks also need to get paid. Any way you cut it, "Hot Pass" is an expensive project.
A quick tour around the Internet will tell you the pros and cons of the package. At first, it is a thrill. Then, since the drivers are chosen in advance, viewers can have the not-so-thrilling experience of motoring around in twenty-fifth place for three hours with one team. Even the Earnhardt Jr. team radio is not a lot of fun during those races.
This week, following the renewal campaign for existing subscribers, DirecTV posted a note on its website and began running a new campaign. Now, even before the 2008 season begins, a full subscription to "Hot Pass" is only $40.
The offer reads "Add NASCAR Hot Pass to your DirecTV base package order and get the entire season for just eight payments of $5. Offer ends April 16th."
The NASCAR fans who called about the lower price then discovered the catch. "Base package order" means that only new DirecTV subscribers are eligible for this offer. Needless to say, this did not go over well with the many NASCAR fans who were already DirecTV subscribers and considering adding "Hot Pass" to their existing service for 2008.
After the network TV struggles of last season, "Hot Pass" enjoyed a solid amount of new subscribers during the year as the racing was in-progress. They responded by "pro-rating" the package depending on when the new user signed-up. Ultimately, they ended the year on a high note with the switch to all HD coming for 2008.
So, new DirecTV customers get "Hot Pass" for $40. Existing DirecTV customers who want to add this service pay the full price, and those of you who renewed from last season also saw the full price on your DirecTV bill.
Competing with "Hot Pass" for alternative ways to view Sprint Cup races is "Raceview" from NASCAR.com. This Turner Interactive offering has three camera angles, all the race radio channels, and real time scoring lap-by-lap. The season subscription price for this service is $80.
Before the season begins, maybe we could get your thoughts on the "Hot Pass" experience, and what the DirecTV crew could do to make it more enjoyable, affordable, or user-friendly for 2008.

Well I pay 9.95 a month for the Nascar trackpass just for the scanners, not raceview. I have been debating getting the HotPass because it would be cheaper, if the driver I want is on it all the time (even at the $80 a year). The thing I have not been happy with trackpass is, when I signed up it was 6.95, then after a year or so it was free for 3 years since I had time warner cable, then it was back to being a charge of 9.95.

You can't please all of the people, all of the time!!! Folks, I happen to be a DishNet customer, at least for 4 more days. My retirement check hits the bank on Thursday afternoon, and I intend to switch to DirecYV on Friday AM. I am switching back to DirecTV because DishNet will not be airing SPEED in HD....I have written several letters to the folks at DishNet and those folks who answer the e-Mail don't know anything about SPEED and HD. So DishNet has lost a loyal customer. I originally was a DirecTV customer for around 10 years, and when HD ....finally ....became available.....I wanted to upgrade, but DirecTV had no reward for existing customers....not even a free upgraded dish. However, at that time DishNet offered me a super deal on a 42" HD TV, and free professional installation. So I went over to DishNet because the folks at DirecTV appeared to have no loyalty to their existing customers. From reading this article, it appears that the folks over at DiredTV still don't care much about their existing customers! I'm sorry to hear that, because at least the folks at DishNet have made me feel as if my monthly payment is honestly appreciated. I sincerely would prefer not to become a DirecTV customer again, because of their callous treatment of existing customers i.e. a lower cost to new customers for HotPass...but an attempt to screw the last dollar possible from existing customers. But bottom line, at DirecTV I will be able to receive SPEED, FOX, ESPN, TNT, and ABC all in HD and be able to purchase the HotPass. Presently I can only receive ESPN and TNT in HD, and there is nothing even close to HotPass available at any cost. I live in a very rural, mountainous area and have no option for cable TV, or for any thing other than dial up internet service, so DirecTV appears to be the best place to receive all of NASCAR in HD for the 2008 season!!

Hmmm, well that's good information to know. I was considering changing from Comcast to DirecTV but it doesn't sound like a good option if they are only going to have 4 drivers and only new customers get to take advantage of the low low price. I have had trackpass for several years and I like it. I use it to follow the races more often than watching the TV broadcast so I don't have to listen to all the blather from those announcers. I tried Raceview but my computer didn't handle it well, so I went back to regular trackpass. One thing that is annoying I agree is the pricing. I paid for a subscription, then it was free on my cable network, then it was back to being something I had to pay for. Then every season about halfway through each season, NASCAR starts offering it as "free" except to those of us who already paid for the whole package. Something wrong with that theory, but it does help me make a decision on how to follow the races and I'm guessing it won't be with DirecTV!

One thing they can do to make the experience more enjoyable - don't censor the scanner!!!!!
As an existing DirecTV subscriber and HotPass renewer - I am not very happy about the price for new subscribers. DirecTV should at least give us something.

What races are not being covered then?

I had Hotpass last year and liked it. I like even more that they'll have it in HD this year. I wish they'd get rid of the commercials all together though. I do find myself switching back and forth a lot during the race. Not so much when TNT or ESPN broadcast. Just when FOX broadcasts. I really don't care for TNT or ESPN's broadcast of the races.
As far as price is concerned, they shouldn't make it a different price for new vs. current subscribers. That's just wrong. Maybe if they lowered it to like $50 for the full season, more people would buy it, and they'd get more than $250,000 people to sign up. If it goes up to more than $80, I'll be cancelling it.

I'm a little puzzeled by all the comments on the special price for new customers. This is a tool that has been used by marketing departments for many decades.
SI does it on tv. They offer MP3s for NEW subscribers. My local newspaper offers new subscribers 1/2 price for as much as 6 months. And it's only for NEW subscribers. Cell companies do it. Sirius radio does it. Cable companies. Sports do it. They offer stuff only for new season ticket holders. Credit card companies do it. I just don't get everyone's surprise. It's a way to grow your base. Corporations know that not all will stay beyond the "special" era, but many will. I guess it works, because more and more companies use it.
My warning: Read the small print.

That's double-dipping on their part.

I've seen complaints about Hotpass only having 4 drivers this year but I think it's a great trade off for the HD and the driver audio channel featuring 13 drivers.
As far as the $40 intro rate is concerned, that is just part of life. Companies throw promos out all the time. I got the auto renewal for only $84.($2.33 per race)Existing DirecTV customers who sign up after February will have to pay $109.
Overall I am just happy that I can get channels like this. I used to get NASCAR In-Demand through Comcast and it was terrible.

I read your article over the weekend and just wanted to point out that we actually didn't slash prices.
The $40 offer is a new customer offer only. It is a bundled offer as a bonus for customers that come on to the DIRECTV platform they can purchase HotPass for $40 at the point of sale.
There is also a free offer for customers at Circuit City who order DIRECTV and buy a HD television, they will receive HotPass for free as a bundle.
However, those two exceptions are new DIRECTV customer offers only...similar to the various NFL new customer offers that are out there.
The price for HotPass for Early Bird (existing customers) is $89 until February 10th. It then goes up to $109 for the Regular season. In essence, the price for HotPass is $10 more this year then last year, but also includes HD this year along with the new 13 audio driver configuration.
I appreciate your time...thanks

I signed up for Hot Pass in the begining. It needed a little tweaking in my opinion, and I emailed DirectTV those opinions. I am sure I was not alone in voicing similar opinions. I was pleased that the format was improved and that it was even noted on the air, that the changes were the result of fan response.
The on air broadcasters even request the fans email thier suggestions and comments.
I don't always like the driver selections, but I guess if I want to see my team, they are going to have to get back to winning.
However I actually get to watch my driver more than you might think. If you know where your driver is running and you know which HotPass car is near and you switch to that car you will often get to watch your driver for a number of laps.
Last year there were usually 3 windows active and the viewer could switch the sound to match the window of choice. So if I happened to be listening to the network and they went to commercial, I switch to the window still showing the race and listen to the drivers radio. A lot happens durning commercials that doesn't get reported by the network, but the spotters let thier driver and the viewers know.
And maybe best of all, the broadcast teams are mostly from Speed, and we know they are the best.
Bottom line, I would pay twice the price if necessary for Hot Pass. I would grumble, but I would still pay for it.

I agree with Harry in California. I love HotPass and think 89.00 is a bargain! Dang, people, that's only 2.47 a race! And they don't charge anything during off season like Trackpass does. I had "In Demand" on Time Warner Cable and it was 129.00 and not nearly as good. Directv improved the things I wanted improved (at one point all they showed was the driver's fastest lap - who cares) and I always know what is going on even during commercials. What could be better? Its the only reason I got satellite at all and I'm thrilled it will be HD this year! Bring on racing!

Hey guys,
For those of us without DirecTV, when they say thirteen audio channels, what do they mean?
In other words, when you switch away from the audio channel of the assigned driver you are watching, don't you lose the commentary?
When people get upset about the commercials, can't you just switch the audio to another driver source to avoid the commercial audio?
Also, it there a function that displays all four drivers on the screen with one big video box and three small ones?

Cutting back services and keeping the price the same is not a smart move. One big reason is some teams are aligned with rival CATV services.

Again, please know your facts before posting bad info. Did anyone notice that the Time Warner Cable associated team had two cars on Hot Pass in Homestead. Roush had a car almost every week of the chase. Come on, get your info straight people.

I have Hot Pass and there are things wrong with it that drive me crazy. While I usually like the commentators, they really need to learn how to shut up when the drivers are on their radios. I want to hear what the drivers, spotter and crew chiefs are saying, but far too often, the commentators just keep talking. Also, unless it's Tony Stewart, most of the chat by the drivers is boring, until there's an on-track incident. I rather think Hot Pass is overrated.

John, RE 13 channels of audio: I can't make it add up to 13, but here is what I remember from last year...
Each driver (5) had 2 distinct possible audio tracks: 1) Their pair of dedicated announcers and 2) Their "team only" comms (car and crew). So between 5 drivers with 2 dedicated audio channels per driver, that was 10 channels - or 8 channels for this year if only 4 drivers are to appear.
Then there was the 1 "TV broadcast" audio option in which you could watch your HotPass channel of choice, while listening to the "Fox" or "ESPN/ABC" general broadcast audio on top of it (instead of the driver's dedicated team or team-only comms).
So for this year, that's 8 + 1 = 9 There must be 1 other "audio channel" per team (9 + 4 = 13) that I am forgetting or is going to be "new" for 2008.

I haven't had DirectTV installed yet, but I'm already getting nervous. I ordered Direct TV online last week. They offered the $40 hot pass to new customers online. They supplied no way to enter the hotpass service into the new service package when ordering, so I called the sales line and they said to just order the service, then call sales to get the hotpass added.
I tried the phone thing. No luck, they said I had to order it at the time I purchased the service to get the promo price. So I did the email thing. Even worse. They didn't seem to be able to read the words in the email, because their responses were not coherent to the situation. So I did the phone thing again today. Over 2 hours on the phone, disconnected 4 times, countem 4 times. Finally, they had to cancel my original order, then set me up with a new order in order to make this happen.
How much you wanna bet I get billed the full price!
This better be worth it.

I have HotPass and I enjoy it very much. It came in very handy after the Fox portion of the season.
To Ginav24...if you are a current Comcast customer and you switch to DirecTV, I believe that would make you a new DirecTV customer and therefore you would be eligible for the new offer.
JD to answer a few of your questions...
Regarding the 13 driver audio channel, as far as I heard, they are going to have 4 driver channels as well as one channel with the network feed and the choice of 13 different driver scanners to listen to.
During the commercial time on the driver channels, they stay with a camera view of the driver and have another box with the commercials. You are able to switch to the driver only audio and block out the commercial audio.
Last year there was not a function to show all the drivers on one screen.
Anyway, I am not sure that I would substitute the 5th driver channel for a audio channel, but the positive would be that DirecTV is able to include more drivers in their package every week.
When I first heard about this new price promotion I was not happy about it, however it is true that DirecTV runs this type of promotion for Sunday Ticket every year and other companies do the same thing as well.

Hi, I have a few comments about HotPass. I found myself watching it less and less last year but decided to give it one more chance-especially as I noticed I am already paying for it on my bill although I don't remember making a conscious effort to renew.
My kudo's
1) Good choice of different drivers-not the ones that are always up front.
2) Finally going HiDef
My gripes (that I hope are fixed)
1) Announcers talk over the teams-especially Ray Dunlap!
2) The confusing design of the multiple/irregularly sized screen boxes. Maybe I am just getting old but I found it VERY hard to watch. What is wrong with 3 or 4 evenly sized screens.
3) I paid about a $100 bucks last year and STILL had to watch ads!!!
They finally allowed you to turn off the sound but still...I found myself giving up and going to the network broadcast most of the time rather than cycling through various buttons to find the right sound channel.
4)Many times the view of my chosen driver that week was just a long camera shot of the car going around the track...I expected the DRIVER'S view with a panning view.
5) Did we REALLY get to listen to the crews/spotter/driver? Some of those guys don't seem to talk at all during a 4 hour race.

I am renewed automatically at just seven low monthly payments of $12.00 each, which started this month. From what I am reading on the directv.com website they will be having Live two way radio between the driver, crew chief and spotter, enhanced audio options will allow you to listen to more drivers than ever before. Plus get real-time stats,charting speeds, RPMs and more. It says to tune to channel 795 during the race and you will be able to listen to selected driver–team communications of drivers who are not featured HotPass drivers for that race. I like that. I would like to listen to driver's other than who is on Hotpass. The offer that I see on their website right now is four easy payments of $22.25 — that's a $20 savings off of the full season price! Hurry, offer ends February 10, so I guess the $40 offer is gone? We loved Hotpass last year and will have it again this year. It was nice to be able to tune out the commercials and listen to the driver, etc. instead. If I wanted to see and hear just commercials I would tune in to the race itself.

Yeah, but NASCAR.com offers all that, cheaper, and for all the drivers every week.
When Hot Pass decides not to show Mikey, you're gonna be screwed, but RaceView will still have all that.

There must be a misunderstanding but to clear it up, HotPass will be available for every race this year including the all-star race.

The team owners are the ones that decided to have a 1 sec delay on the scanners as to not have profanity. While a fair amount still sometimes gets through, the choice is to have none at all as they feel it reflects bad for sponsors and whatnot. I however agree that it's a pay service and should not be delayed however, the owners have a big say as they allow their drivers to be on the channels.

I don't watch it just for Mikey. If I did, I sure wouldn't have renewed it, as he was never on it last year. I am not the only one in my household watching it, and we do like other drivers as well. I do hope that they will put him on this year as he will be doing much better...:)

Anon 8:08,
There is no All-Star race on the coverage, hence the reduction in the number of races. That is from the DirecTV guy by email.
Sorry for any confusion, I am just now wading into the DirecTV world for the first time. It sure is interesting how many folks really like it and how many would like some changes.
I just got a demo, and it sure is a lot more control of the video and audio than I understood. There are tons of options.

(Bacterial Arthritis; Infectious Arthritis; Pyogenic Arthritis)
Septic arthritis is a serious infection of the joints caused by bacteria. This infection causes the joint to be filled with pus cells. These pus cells release substances directed against the bacteria. However, this action can damage the joint structures, bone, and surrounding cartilage.
Septic arthritis develops when bacteria spreads from the source of infection through the bloodstream to a joint. It can result from:
- Infection due to an injection
- Surgery
- Other infections
Septic arthritis can also be caused from injury or trauma. It can result from:
- A penetration wound
- An injury that affects the joint
- Joint surgery/replacement
Septic arthritis can strike at any age. However, it occurs most often in children aged 3 and younger. In infants, the hip is a frequent site of infection. In toddlers, it is the shoulders, knees, and hips.
Septic arthritis rarely occurs from early childhood through adolescence. After that, it occurs more often. In adults, it most commonly affects weight-bearing joints, such as the knees.
Joint Damage in Knee
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of developing septic arthritis include:
- Diseases that weaken the immune system, such as HIV or taking drugs that suppress immunity
- A history of joint problems or having other types of arthritis, gout, or lupus
- A history of IV drug use
- Chronic illnesses, such as anemia, diabetes, sickle cell, and kidney failure
- Joint replacement or organ transplant surgery
- Recent
injections, such as cortisone or hyaluronic acid
- Alcoholism
- Skin conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema
Symptoms may include:
Newborn or infants
- Crying when a joint is moved, such as during a diaper change
- Inability to move the limb of a joint
- Swelling and redness
- Irritability
- Fever
- Persistent crying for any reason
Children and adults
- Intense joint pain
- Joint swelling and redness
- Fever
- Chills
- Inability to move a joint or its limb
- Limping
You will be asked about you or your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may refer you to a specialist.
Bodily fluids may need to be tested. This can be done with:
- Testing joint fluids
- Blood tests
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Antibiotic therapy is started as soon as a diagnosis is made. In the beginning, antibiotics are given by IV. This is to ensure that the infected joint receives medication to kill the bacteria. The specific medications used depend on the type of bacteria that is causing the infection. The remaining course of antibiotics may be given by mouth.
Fluid may be removed from the joint to reduce the likelihood of joint damage. This may be done either by placing a needle in the joint or through surgery.
Rest, preventing the joint from moving, and warm compresses may be used to manage pain. Physical therapy or exercises may also speed recovery.
To help reduce your chance of getting septic arthritis, get prompt treatment of infections that could lead to septic arthritis.

Real-Time List Filtering in HTML5/JavaScript
A little over a year ago, I wrote a blog with code that demonstrates how to easily search for an item in a listbox, where the total list of items are narrowed down as you type. The contents of the listbox are filtered to contain only those items that contain the text you're typing, with each keystroke, regardless of case.
This is a neat little trick because the contents of the list are filtered and updated in real-time as you type, and it even supports the backspace key, adding back items as you delete characters from your search. That blog illustrated this technique using Java and JavaFX. I recently rewrote this code in JavaScript to work within an HTML5 web application. Below is how the list looks in its initial state, containing all of the entries:
Let's imagine there are hundreds of items in this list, making it difficult to scroll through the list to find one item of interest. To keep this example simple, however, there are only 10 entries. Let's begin by examining the code that handles keystrokes. First, add a key handler for the input textbox when the browser loads the web page:
window.onload = function() { // Look for input box and insert key handler var prevTxt = null; var txt = document.getElementsByName('filterTxt'); if ( txt != null ) { txt[0].onkeyup=function(event) { var e = event || window.event; var curTxt = txt[0].value; handleKeyPress(prevTxt,curTxt); prevTxt = curTxt; return true; } } }
handleKeyPress() function will now get called whenever a key is pressed within the "filter" input box. This is where the magic happens. First, the original list of entries within the listbox is saved (this happens only once):
// Store the original list of entries to restore when backspacing if ( originalentries === null ) { originalentries = new Array(); for ( c = 0; c < select.children.length; c++ ) { originalentries.push(select.children[c]); } }
Next, a check is made to see if the user hit the backspace key. If so, the list's entries are restored to the original set of entries. Filtering will take place all over again with the shortened filter text in a moment.
// If the number of characters in the text box is less than last time // it must be because the user pressed delete if ( oldVal !== null && (newVal.length < oldVal.length) ) { // Restore the lists original set of entries // and start from the beginning for ( c = 0; c < originalentries.length ; c++ ) { select.add(originalentries[c]); } }
Next, each word typed into the filter input box is separated using the
split() function. Each listbox entry that does NOT contain all of the words entered (regardless of order) is placed in a list of entries to be removed from the list box:
// Break out all of the parts of the search text // by splitting on white space var parts = newVal.split(' '); // Filter out the entries that don't contain the entered text var toremove= new Array(); for ( i = 0; i < select.children.length; i++ ) { var entry = select.children[i]; var match = true; var entryTxt = entry.text; for ( p = 0; p < parts.length; p++ ) { // The entry needs to contain all portions of the // search string *but* in any order var part = parts[p].toUpperCase(); if ( entryTxt.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf(part) < 0 ) { match = false; break; } } if ( match == false ) { toremove.push(entry); } }
Finally, the entries marked for removal are actually removed from the list box:
if ( toremove != null ) { for ( t = 0; t < toremove.length; t++ ) { var entryTxt = toremove[t].text; select.removeChild(toremove[t]); } }
In action this appears to be complex, but the code works quite simply. Here are the general steps (in a slightly different order than in the code):
- Loop through all the items in the list
- Check each item to see if it contains the text entered in any order. Example: typing "Bruno Eric" matches the listbox entry "Eric Bruno" and will allow it to remain in the list.
- If the user hits the backspace key, restore the list to its full set of original entries, and search from the top again
The screenshot below shows the listbox after typing the text "Br":
This is a simplified example of a real-world scenario where it can often be helpful to provide flexibility when searching through long lists of text. And, this flexibility need not be difficult to implement. Here is the code for a full HTML/JavaScript example you can run yourself.
Happy coding!

Antrim's Giant's Causeway's is a 60-million-year-old story of science. Or is it?
CNN's John D Sutter is touring the island of Ireland clockwise. Eventually, he arrives to what he calls "Northern Ireland's most popular attraction".
His description of the Giant's Causeway hints at the magical: "A golf-course green canyon wall slopes into a set of volcanic rock formations that are completely surreal: Near-perfect hexagon tubes are stacked next to each other like puzzle pieces."
Something this pretty couldn't be the result of a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago, could it?
Well, there are two lines of thought on that one. The first involves a certain giant by the name of Finn McCool (also known as Fionn mac Cumhaill).
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
Finn is having trouble with someone across the water. The Scottish giant Benandonner is threatening Ireland. An enraged Finn grabs chunks of the Antrim coast and throws them into the sea. The rock forms a path for Finn to follow and teach Benandonner a lesson.
Bad idea – Benandonner is terrifyingly massive. Finn beats a hasty retreat, followed by the giant, only to be saved by our hero's quick-thinking wife who disguised him as a baby. The angry Scot saw the baby and decided if the child was that big, the daddy must be really huge.
For Eleanor Killough from the National Trust, the Finn story holds water: "Of course it was Finn McCool! That's what we the locals believe anyway.
"We give our visitors the two sides of the coin – the stories and the science and let them decide, but most visitors leave believing this place is an ancient home of a mighty giant."
As Eleanor says, though, there are two sides to the story.
"The Giant's Causeway is the aftermath of volcanic crashing, burning and cooling," Eleanor explains. "An epic 60-million-year-old legacy to lava. Over 40,000 basalt columns. Interlocked.
"It's no wonder this place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because beyond the mindboggling beauty, the Causeway is our portal into Earth's most ancient past," she concludes.
Whatever you choose to believe, there's no disputing that the Causeway makes a pretty picture – thousands of tourists click their cameras here every year.

Chris Brown and Rihanna didn't walk the red carpet together at the Grammy Awards Sunday, but they did sit next to each other at the year's biggest music event.
[Gallery: See More Photos Of Chris Brown And Rihanna At The Grammys]
In 2009, the couple canceled their scheduled appearances at the show on the day of the event after Brown assaulted Rihanna. This is their first time reuniting for the festivities.
Their unified Grammy showing sparked sarcasm from Twitter users who were convinced that Brown would relapse.
"Chris Brown and Rihanna are sitting together at the Grammys because everyone deserves a 673rd chance," Robfee wrote.
Brice_j_Johnson added, "Rihanna flinches every time Chris brown starts clapping LMAO."
Dean Eddy, a therapist for Southern California Counseling Center, expressed concerns about Brown and Rihanna getting back together.
[Related: See Yahoo! Music's Complete Grammy Coverage]
Eddy, who has been counseling couples for 20 years, said he did not think "52 weeks [of therapy] is enough time for [Brown] to really most past that."
Eddy said it important that Brown takes responsibility for his actions. "If he was really looking at the issues and owning for himself where the decision came from for him to actually strike her, there's a good chance he wouldn't do it again," he said.
Brown and Rihanna have spent a lot of time together this week.
Brown was consoled by Rihanna Saturday after he was involved in a car crash while attempting to evade paparazzi.
In a pre-show interview with Ryan Seacrest, Brown downplayed the incident. "I'm fine," Brown said about the crash. He said that he was not concerned about the car. "I'll get another one. Insurance is good."
He also did not make a big deal about the paparazzi. "A couple crazy paparazzi can tend to get out of hand. It's still good," he said. "Tonight, I'm just looking forward to the performances."
After Brown's accident, he attended the 2013 Roc Nation Pre-Grammys Brunch at Soho House in West Hollywood where he was greeted by the "Diamonds" singer. According to JustJared.com, they embraced and held hands.
The rekindling of their romance has sparked a backlash from fans. Just Jared user Pumkin slammed Rihanna for getting back together with Brown. "Last Pre-Grammy party they attended, we all know what happened," Pumpkin wrote. "I never understood why women go back to abusers. The pics disgust me, I can't imagine what it would actually feel like. Yuck."
Another Just Jared user who posted a comment under the name ugh, complained about fans who believed Brown should be forgiven. "I sincerely hope that when your kids grow up you don't have an abusive relationship because the way you disregard it scares me," ugh wrote. "You wouldn't forgive sexual abuse but you'd forgive domestic violence.. that's a bunch of bullsh-t!!!!!!!"
Rihanna's most shocking arrival with Brown this week occurred Wednesday when she escorted him to court. Rihanna blew Brown a kiss before entering court and sat behind him. Brown is accused of faking the community service requirement of his 2009 conviction for assaulting Rihanna.
In a recent cover story in Rolling Stone magazine, Rihanna responded to critics who did not support her decision to get back together with Brown.
"Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake," she told Rolling Stone. "After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."
Rihanna added that Brown knows that she would not stay with him if he ever hit again. "He doesn't have the luxury of f--king up again," she said. "That's just not an option. I can't say that nothing else will ever go wrong. But I'm pretty solid in the knowing that he's disgusted by that. And I wouldn't have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility."
Rihanna thinks the public should stop judging Brown. "He made a mistake, and he's paid his dues," she said. "He's paid so much. And I know that's not a place he would ever want to go back to. And sometimes people need support and encouragement, instead of ridicule and criticism and bashing."

Posts filed under 'Heraldry'
Coat of arms / 'family crest'
Some interesting comments in my last blog post ('You only have to look') made me wish I'd replied into a separate blog post, so at least the comments related to the topic.
Someone said in a comment: Those "accept anything they find without question" folks must be the ones who patronize those generic "family crest" suppliers where you get a crest of somebody, somewhere, who happens to share your surname.
I disagreed because I think you can hang anything on your wall that takes your interest, but to say "my great grandfather was …" without sufficient cross-checking to ensure you have the ancestor who belongs to you – well it might be a very interesting family tree, but it's not yours. And I guess that's the same point the commenter made about how many people think of a 'family' coat of arms.
To be entitled to use a coat of arms you must have either been granted it yourself or be descended in the male line from the original grantee.
My point was that I might know that, and not actually use the arms, but still be interested in them as a curiosity.
However the mention of a 'family crest' touched a particular irritation with me. There's no such thing as a 'family crest'.
The term 'coat of arms' (or 'armorial bearings' or just 'arms') descends from the days when knights in battles or tournaments wanted to be identifiable, and with the visor of their helmets down, clad in armour, it was difficult to tell friend from foe, so they started to paint the symbols that identified the knight onto a sleeveless linen surcoat, worn over the armour.
Different parts of the armour had different names, and some of those names continue in the words used to describe 'armorial bearings' (what we think of as 'coats of arms').
The only essential part of the armour was the shield (which could be different shapes & sizes). The crest was ornamentation that might have been worn on top of the helmet and usually was chosen as a bird or beast that the knight thought reflected his martial qualities.
So a crest was optional, but you cannot have a crest without arms. So please – refer to a 'coat of arms' not to a 'family crest'!

La Junta Economic Development Director Ron Davis recently announced that he will end his contract with the city of La Junta effective Dec. 31.
La Junta Economic Development Director Ron Davis recently announced that he will end his contract with the city of La Junta effective Dec. 31.
The reason, Davis said, is to pursue new adventures, specifically as co-owner of Scaff Brothers, a longtime La Junta business. But Davis said he wanted to give the city plenty of time to find the right person and fulfill his duties. La Junta City Council ultimately makes the decision as to when the contract will officially end and if the Dec. 31 date will be accepted.
Davis said he will continue to support La Junta activities and promote the city.
The following is the letter Davis wrote to La Junta City Council.
Dear members of La Junta City Council:
I have been honored to have contracted with the City of La Junta (LIG Consulting, Inc., DBA La Junta Economic Development) to provide economic development and economic growth services since April of 2007. It has been a privilege to promote such a great community and a job I have truly enjoyed. I am writing this letter to inform you that after fulfillment of the present contract period of Dec. 31, 2013, I wish to terminate the contract with the City of La Junta to conduct economic development activities.
My decision is not based on any dissatisfaction with the City or with terms of the contract. My decision stems from the fact that my wife, Maryann and I, along with Dan and Carolyn Young (Liqcrytech) have recently purchased a long-standing business known as Scaff Brothers. We closed the deal with the Gierhans on Friday, March 22. The purchase in no way will interfere with me fulfilling the terms of my present contract, because part of the purchase agreement and price was to keep Eldon Gierhan with us until Jan. 1, 2014. He will manage the business for us and train us on weekends. He has also agreed to continue to represent Scaff Brothers at shows such as the State Fair and other week-long events until we can take over in 2014.
The reason for tendering this letter of intent at this time is to allow City Council as much time as possible to decide how to proceed in terms of process and to hire a new contractor effective Jan. 1, 2014. After that date, I would gladly avail myself at no cost for a reasonable amount of time to the new contractor if they so desired. I would also leave all contact files and the La Junta Economic Development website for them if that would be helpful in their efforts.
In its own way, this venture is an economic development activity. Eldon was looking to sell the business, but any potential buyers wanted to sell off the building, then move the business out of La Junta. Our intent is to retain the business in La Junta and add a minimum of two more employees!
I have made the necessary financial commitments and advance expenditures to continue the activities of La Junta Economic Development through December with the local media outlets, the State Fair, Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC), maintaining the La Junta Economic Development website and numerous other contacts to assure that La Junta will continue to be promoted in the Economic Development arena. I will receive training at the upcoming EDCC Conference from the Office of Economic Development and International Trade on the property inventory/asset inventory database being implemented, and will be listing our Industrial Park and other properties on that new OEDIT tool.
I have been informed that there may be another bill introduced in this Legislative Session which would expedite the process for Creative Energy Systems to begin pursuing Power Purchase Agreements and land acquisitions yet this year. I am planning to testify on that bill when it is assigned to committee.
I am still working with Randy Duncan and Front Range Pipeline as they forge ahead on the pipeline project. The KFC owner and I have been working to find a buyer for that property, and just recently I was contacted by a retailer who was interested in looking at the three buildings in the Walmart area (2 Shostak Brothers empty rentals in the strip mall and the Blockbuster building).
The bottom line is that I will continue to work to stimulate economic growth and promote development for La Junta through the end of my contract without conflict, time constraints or distraction. We have some great opportunities for both primary jobs and retail development in the works and it is my hope that some of these will come to fruition in 2013. Those that don't can be transferred to whatever entity or individual the Council selects to have the honor to do economic development for this great City. Even after my contract has lapsed with the City, I will continue to be available at any time to help promote what a great place La Junta, Colorado is to live, work and visit.
Ron Davis

Jolie Holland and Tom Waits on Paste's Year End Top 20.
#17: Jolie Holland – Escondido (Anti-) – If the nu-Americana written about in this issue needs a promo CD, there'd be few better choices than Escondido. While it's easy to imagine the sounds of Holland's second album floating from your grandma's old phonograph, there's little nostalgia here. Instead she digs through the dusty attic of American folk, blues and jazz, costuming her unique creations in pleasingly familiar forms.
#3: Tom Waits – Real Gone (Anti-) – Quirky. Experimental. Hip. Poetic. Cinematic. Thoughtful. Thought-provoking. It's one thing to deliver one or more of these qualities; it's quite another to consistently deliver them all consistently for 31 years. On Real Gone, Waits brings the wood once again. Percussively driven, along the lines of Bone Machine, Real Gone delivers another batch of vibrant songs and performances that make for yet another essential album.

The following items follow a story about a dispute that happened in the Pine Mountain area of Rabun County during August, 1894. The first item is from the 3 August 1894 issue (Volume 1, Number 7) of The Clayton Argus.
The scene of battle seems to be changed from Chicago to Pine Mountain. We hear that one day last week a number of boys met at or near the post office at Pine Mountain and by some means a dispute arose which precipitated a fight the result of which was knives. It is also stated that the boys had been taking on some tangle foot. We are sorry that so many of our young men participated in this useless habit of drinking. Boys, quit it, and you will certainly be glad of it.
In the subsequent issue, published 10 August 1894 (Vol. 1, Number 8), the editor names two of the subjects.
We hear that Guss Billingsley and Wood Bryson, the chief sufferers in the riot at Pine Mountain in our last week's issue are getting considerably better. It was thought that Bryson was fatally wounded, but we are glad to hear that he was not.
I guess those two thought better the next time they were offered "tangle foot."

When Erika is aroused from her sleep, she turns to a different kind of arousal.
Who can tell what she has been dreaming of? Could it have anything to do with the sleepy way that her hand wanders to her most intimate parts? And then stays there, exploring and stroking. Soon she is in another kind of dream, thinking of imagined delights. As she touches her breasts and everywhere else, her whole body joins in. This is the way to start a new day.
This dream is very real. It takes her over and she surrenders to it completely.

Wirehouse and other advisors continue to get enticed by rival broker-dealers and switch firms, even in the dog days of summer.
UBS (UBS) said early Wednesday that it recruited Rasweiler Group, which has $4.8 billion in client assets and yearly fees & commissions of $10 million.
The veteran group, formerly with Morgan Stanley (MS), will be based in Florham Park, N.J. It includes six advisors: John Rasweiler, John Cusate, Jack Riley, Michael Jordao, Jesse Kent and William Burke.
For its part, Morgan Stanley just picked up Kris Breeneman and Chelsie Brenneman, a father-and-daughter team, previously with Merrill Lynch (BAC), and who have prior assets of $130 million and annual production of $1.1 million.
The group is based in Akron, Ohio, and now reports to Jason E. Haines, a Morgan Stanley branch manager.
Morgan Stanley also recruited Michael Scott Cooper and Michele Pike Smith from BB&T Securities.
Michael Scott Cooper has had yearly production of $1.8 million and client assets of $115 million. He will be based in Raleigh, N.C. Michele Pike Smith has annual fees & commissions of $727,000 and client assets of $80 million. She will work in Greensboro, N.C.
Both of the new Morgan Stanley advisors report to area branch manager John Blakley.
