Denka (デンカ, Denka) is a ninneko that lives with Nekobaa at an Uchiha supply base.
While having a calm and almost pleasant disposition most times, Denka and his partner Hina do not like to be treated like common pets as Suigetsu Hōzuki would come to learn.
Denka is predominantly a light-coloured brown with darker markings along his ears, on his cheeks, paws, and tail. Suigetsu when he first met them mistook the two for talking tanuki.[1] He wears a simple blue kimono with mesh armour underneath, held closed by a simple white sash. On his forehead, is the kanji for "shinobi" (忍).
While nothing has been seen of their abilities, Sasuke Uchiha did note that Suigetsu would end up a scratching post if he messed with him and Hina.[2]
Part II
Itachi Pursuit Mission
When Sasuke and Hebi made their way to the old Uchiha supply base, Denka and Hina greeted them at the entrance and were glad to see Sasuke. However, when Suigetsu began treating them like common cats, Denka, who was seemingly outraged at this, hissed at him. When Sasuke later warned Suigetsu about the two and then made the reason for his visit clear, he and Hina carried them to where Nekobaa and Tamaki were so they could get supplies.

- Denka and Hina are actual names of cats that are owned by Naruto Uzumaki's Japanese voice actress, Junko Takeuchi.
- In Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, one of the game's character customisation items is a Stuffed Denka Doll, which the player can add to the back of any customisation of Sasuke or Hebi members.

In LEGO Batman: The Videogame on the PC, players will take control of the Dynamic Duo, Batman and Robin, as you build, drive, swing, and fight your way through Gotham City capturing escaped villains and putting them back in Arkham Asylum where they belong. Battle against legendary villains including The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman and more to keep the streets of Gotham clean. Then, for the first time, jump into the story from the other side and play as Batman's foes. Enjoy the power you wield as you spread chaos throughout the city. Fight on land, sea and in the air using a number of powerful Batman, Robin and villain-controlled vehicles, including the rocket-powered Batmobile, sleek Batboat and stealthy Batwing.
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
LEGO Batman is the fifth go of Traveler's Tales at the LEGO theme but still only minimal change has happened during this time. However, even if that is the situation, gamers and fans of the dark-caped crusader, are sure to find the game amusing. The main reason here is that the gameplay used is a proven success. It is enjoyable and easy to understand. Yet all the problems in the past concerning the LEGO games, such as nonsense puzzles and the AI problem are still present. At this stage you would have expected Traveller's Tales to nearly perfect the game, but that is not so.
LEGO Batman is a unique game because it did not take its story from any of the Batman movies or from the comics. The plot within the game is kind of original; thus, it gives the creators a wide horizon, since there is no pressure to follow up with a well known story. The Batman here is not even connected with the Batman we know. It is exactly like a Batman in the toy shelf where you can create anything you desire with it.
The main idea of the plot is basically a story of Batman chasing and capturing villains that escaped from the Arkham Asylum. When you play LEGO Batman, the main goal is basically to destroy enemies and smash objects. The story isn't all that important.
The charm of LEGO is still present in the game and as a whole, it is still very funny. You have the same stoic Batman here, Robin is still same old goofy self, and the villains have remained amazingly crazy. The characters are really good LEGO counterparts of the cartoon Batman. However, aside from the characters, the background is not something to get crazy about. It would have been better to see a more creative Gotham City.
To the game's credit, LEGO Batman has everything in the mix. There are a multitude of characters spread out in six acts. In the first half you can use Batman and Robin. There are also power suits you can use. Robin can use the magnetic suit that allows him to walk through metal walls. And Batman has the demolition suit so he can turn stuff into smithereens in an instant (this fits Batman, he always wants everybody's attention, right?).
When you reach act three to six, you may start using the villains. In this plot, you can have a taste of how the sinister villains set up their master plan. This, however, is before the ultimate meeting between them and the bat. Each villain has their own unique powers. Poison Ivy uses her kiss to poison another. The joker gives joybuzzers to anyone he touches. Mr. Freeze places anyone in the cold storage. The Riddler controls the minds of other villains to make them his minions. You know the rest. But the main Batman Nemesis here is Killer Moth. Oh yes, the all popular Killer Moth that everybody remembers (That was an attempt at sarcasm, by the way. No one really knows who Killer Moth is or was.)
And on top of the story, there are dozens of unlockable characters that can be used when replaying levels. Among these characters are Night Wing, Batgirl, Hush, Man-Bat and others; which can be unlocked with each LEGO bit collected in the game (Cool, huh!)
There are many good things going for this game. The huge downside is that the problem from the previous LEGO games was never addressed. The AI presents problems; the jumps are difficult to time and stuff like that. But if you are looking for a good laugh with a buddy while appreciating the comical Batman and friends the game has created, then by all means, go ahead and purchase the game!

Incumbent state Rep. Peter J. Durant, R-Spencer, retained his seat in yesterday's general election, holding off Kathleen Walker, a Charlton Democrat.
Mr. Durant won 55.5 percent of the vote. He easily won conservative Charlton, 3,024 to 1,922 and newly added Dudley, 2,782 to 2,088. The portion of Spencer in the district also went to Mr. Durant, 910-411.
Ms. Walker won Democratic-heavy Southbridge, 3,323 votes to Mr. Durant's 2,951.
Mr. Durant, who was celebrating with supporters at Alexander's Golden Greek restaurant in Southbridge, said last night it felt good to win by such a decisive margin in a presidential election.
In 2010, Mr. Durant finished tied with Geraldo Alicea of Charlton and defeated Mr. Alicea and two independent candidates in a special election in May 2011.
Ms. Walker said: "I'm very disappointed, but at the same time I had a wonderful time throughout the campaign. I met some wonderful people who will be friends for life. I'm enriched by the whole thing."
Earlier in the day, Mr. Durant had a team of 40 volunteers, compared to six volunteers when he first ran in 2010. He had his team observing at the polls and placing calls to people who had yet to vote in Southbridge.
Mr. Durant said he considered Southbridge the battleground community because of its Democratic tilt.
He said he made 3,000 calls yesterday and more than 12,500 during the campaign.
Lisa Betrovski of Charlton held a sign for Mr. Durant in Charlton.
Ms. Betrovski said she first met Mr. Durant in 2010, when he first ran for the seat and knocked on her door. She said she found he had similar principles and values.
The stay-at-home mother said she was in Manchester, N.H., the night before, supporting Mitt Romney for president.
"I'm afraid the way the country is going," she said.
Roger Caouette held a sign for Mr. Durant in Southbridge
"We needed a change and somebody to do something for our area. He's the man that's done the job. He proved himself after the (2011) tornado," Mr. Caouette said.
The supporter said the district had experienced one-sided politics years ago when the state threatened to pull the Registry of Motor Vehicles from Southbridge.
"I said never again will I vote for a Democrat," Mr. Caouette said.
As she campaigned in Charlton, Ms. Walker said she learned from the campaign that people are "enormously kind and generous," and that the whole process was so energizing she didn't know if she was tired.
Ms. Walker said she and Mr. Durant were vastly different in their philosophies and views.
Told that to some observers it appeared they didn't like one another, Ms. Walker said, "I couldn't possibly say I didn't like him because I really don't know him.
"I don't like what he does, what he's done in his campaign and what he's said."
The two debated in Charlton, Dudley and Southbridge.

Representing for the Ladies…and fast has hell too.
Heather Muller (shown in the front) Dylan is in the back.
How old are you? 24
Where do you live? Bed-Stuy
What bikes do you own? I have a custom Squarebuilt track bike, an IRO, a Cannondale road bike, a Specialized mountain bike, and a Surly Travelers Check.
What got you into track bikes? When I moved to the city in 2002, I had only owned 2 bikes in my life. I used to ride everywhere on my mountain bike that I'd had since I was in third grade. It was way too heavy for city riding and way too small for me. One of the security guards at my dorm used to ride track bikes in Jamaica and he started telling me about them. I knew it was time for an upgrade, and two of my friends helped me build a conversion out of an abandoned Atala frame that I found.
Have you been a messenger? How long and for what company(s): I worked for Breakaway for about a month and a half after graduating college. I'm currently part of Mess Kollective, which is an entirely messenger-owned and operated co-op. messkollective.com
What got you into alleycats? My first alleycat was King of the Fucking Streets in the summer of 05, during the Worlds. I don't remember how I first heard about the races, but I used to look on nybma.com for info and decided I wanted to race.
What do you like about them? Racing in alleycats has exposed me to a lot of great things about cycling. Most of my major bike purchases have been because of an upcoming race. I upgraded my Atala conversion to an IRO before Monstertrack '06 because the frame was bent and I was afraid it was going to break during the race. I bought clipless pedals before racing in Rumble. It has opened up a new community to me and has been a really positive experience.
What was your first Monster Track? 2006
How many Monster Tracks have you raced? How have you done? I think I came in 5th female in 2006. I was happy just to finish. In 2007, I came in third, and won it in 2008.
What is unique about Monster Track? It's the only race in which you can't have a brake.
What does it mean to you that this race is 10 years old? Double digits! This race has been around a while and I'm glad to have been a part of it.
Who should race alleycats? Messengers Only? I think any skilled city rider can come out and race. I have never felt excluded from the alleycat community in New York because I wasn't currently a messenger. I think that's a great part of the community here, that it is so open to messengers and non-messengers.
What do you think about the liability issues? People need to take personal responsibility and know their limits. There are a lot of different flavors of alleycats and Monstertrack is not and should not be for everyone.
What is the future or alleycat racing? Will we see it in the X games 2020? I'm sure there will be some presence of track bikes in the X games, but an alleycat is in live traffic and I don't think that lends itself to something like the X games. Maybe they'll have a closed course like the main race in the NACCC's and World's.
What do you think of the rise of popularity of track bikes and all these people coming out to race? It's great that bikes are getting more popular. The more cyclists on the street, the safer our city will become.
What are your future cycling goals? I want to do more touring. I was on a 2 and a half month tour in Europe this summer (www.heatherbikes.com) and loved it. If I can find a way to turn touring into a job, that would be a dream. I might get into road racing this year and definitely want to take my Squarebuilt out to Kissena.

Now You Can Hold David Lee Roth in the Palm of Your Hand
Sometimes only David Lee Roth can properly express how you feel. Sometimes a set of circumstances are so complex that it takes a wordsmith like Roth to properly convey your sentiment. Sometimes you just have money to blow and you love Van Halen.
If any of this rings true, then you need the David Lee Roth Scream Box.
Brooklyn, N.Y. basement inventor Dave Rogge created the gadget, and using it is simple. Turn it on, hit a big glowing button, and out comes a Roth-ism, mostly from 'Running With the Devil.'
"I'll tell ya all about it."
"I live my life like there's no tomorrow."
"Awww yes!"
Eat your heart out, Staples Easy Button. You may in fact be easy, but you're not nearly as much fun.

Thanks for keeping this alive as well. I'm not sure I would have thought to Reset to Factory. One other thing that I forgot: the Admin password will be blank after resetting firmware to factory. Just like it was when originally purchased. Reloading my saved configuration file put everything back to where it was before including the password, MAC filters, etc. Thanks again!

Amazing, and you make it look easy! I'm sitting on a ton of old t-shirts right now. I might scale this down for the Babby - and I don't know if I have any shirts with bands that lend themselves to this, but I do have elastic!ReplyDelete
You are very talented. Thanks for linking up!ReplyDelete
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I have a shirt with a band almost exactly like yours, so I'm off to dig through the goodwill pile to find more shirts to use! I'd be honored if you'd share this at my Show & Tell party, going on now @ the Delectable Home.ReplyDelete
This is so fun and feminine, love it!ReplyDelete
Hello! Thanks for linking to Once Upon a Weekend last week. You're the new Blog of the Week, with the most hits! whoo hoo!! this is so cute and fun. great job!ReplyDelete
I luv that skirt. Super cute!!! I might even get my sewing machine out to make that one!!!!ReplyDelete
Wow! I have a ton of used to be white tees that the hubs won't wear anymore. They are basically stain free but you could always cut around the stains. I think I might try using a tea bag to dye them and make one of these for my daughter to wear with her tunic tops and tights. Love the boots, too! What a cute look!ReplyDelete
I've seen this skirt everywhere. LOVE it. So easy too. I like the different colors of the t-shirts. I would have worried about that if I were making it, but I think it looks better than if they were all one shade. Excellent job! I hope to try it!! I also love the way you styled it...boots, stripes, tights, bright orange cardigan. perfect. :)ReplyDelete
Wishing I were young enough to wear this!!! 60 is probably a little too old but in my mind, I know it would rock! Gonna make one for my 2 yr. old granddaughter and live vicariously.ReplyDelete
This is great, I love it!ReplyDelete
Too cute! I pinned this and hopefully will get a chance to make one someday soon. Found you at Keep it Simple!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2012 at 11:52 AM
Love your skirt! I just told my daughter I was going to use the red fabric I bought at Christmas to make her a skirt for V-Day and she said she wanted one with ruffles - immediately I ran across your link at Keeping it Simple, and voila! I'm ready to start sewing! Thanks for the inspiration. Oh, by the way, I'm your newest follower - stop by to visit me sometime if you'd like. Hugs ~ MaryReplyDelete
I love this! It's a perfect excuse to clean out Husband's t-shirt drawer. He wears plain white tees EVERYWHERE and they always end up pretty dingy looking pretty quickly. I like the idea of staining with tea bags to make them a little more uniform. I don't think I could let go enough to let the ruffles be different colors.ReplyDelete
I wish my husband didn't paint so darned much! He goes through t-shirts like nobody's business, but I'm not sure I'd want to rock the paint and stain splatters! Great skirt! Great job! I'm going to have to make one of these someday!ReplyDelete
This is adorable! Well done!ReplyDelete
Love, love, LOVE this! Must try soon. And April...IMHO I would love it with paint splattered ruffles...or tea stained.ReplyDelete
I love the shirt, but I was more interested to know where you got the bright orange cardigan! Please let me know. I am in search of one for my wedding! Thanks!ReplyDelete
i was interested in where your boots are from?ReplyDelete
So cute! I love the whole outfit! Thanks for the great idea!ReplyDelete
The Chapstick Wrangler
if you start sewing from the bottom and work up, it's easier because you don't have to move the ruffle above it out of the way. Very cute!ReplyDelete

i fell in love with this skirt at first sight! i'd seen other people do this sort of white ruffled petticoat, but i loved how yours was from t-shirts. so i outright copied you (and linked to you here, obviously!) and it's such a fun skirt and really versatile. i actually made mine too long for my liking but i can't bear the idea of cutting off one of the tiers that too so much time!! if you'd like to see it, here it is: http://cucicucicoo.blogspot.it/2012/11/sottogonna-arricciata-ruffly-petticoat.htmlReplyDelete

A light-heavyweight bout between Anthony Perosh (13-7 MMA, 3-4 UFC) and Joey Beltran (14-8 MMA, 3-5 UFC) is the latest addition to December's UFC on FX 6 event.
UFC officials confirmed the matchup with "The Daily Telegraph."
UFC on FX 6 takes place Saturday, Dec. 15, at Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia. The event's main card airs live on FX (on Friday, Dec. 14, in the U.S. due to the time difference) following prelims on FUEL TV.
Perosh vs. Beltran likely will be part of the prelims.
Perosh, an Australian fighter, had put together a three-fight UFC win streak following stoppage victories over Tom Blackledge, Cyrille Diabate and Nick Penner. However, back in July at UFC 149, he suffered a stunning seven-second knockout loss to promotional newcomer Ryan Jimmo.
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, who went 0-2 in his first UFC stint and is 3-2 in his current one, now takes on Beltran, a former UFC heavyweight who received his walking papers after a rough 1-4 skid in the organization earlier this year. After an outside win in his light-heavyweight debut, he returned to the UFC but suffered a unanimous-decision loss to 205-pounder James Te Huna at UFC on FUEL TV 4.
The latest UFC on FX 6 card includes:
- Ross Pearson vs. George Sotiropoulos
- Hector Lombard vs. Rousimar Palhares
- "The Ultimate Fighter: Australia vs. UK" welterweight final
- "The Ultimate Fighter: Australia vs. UK" lightweight final
- Joey Beltran vs. Anthony Perosh
- Ednaldo Oliveira vs. Krzysztof Soszynski

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi
I have 2 questions
1. I always thought the letter laam was pronounced with the tip of the tongue, but found lately after reading a book by Dr. Yahyah Alghouthani and speaking to other shuyukh that the "laam" like the "dhaad" is pronounced from the side of the tongue to the tip either from left side or right side. Can u give some clarity on this?
2. What is meant by "itbaaq ashafatayn"when pronouncing the "ikhfa shafawi" and "iqlaab"
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
The articulation point of the letter is from the anterior sides of the tongue forward until the sides end together at the tip. The letter uses the posterior 2/3 of the side of the tongue and the the anterior (closest to the mouth) 1/3 of the sides of the tongue until it ends at the tip. The sides and tip form a "U" shape at the front part of the tongue, and this is what is used for the .
The does not use the tip and if one uses the tip to pronounce the , it will sound like a with tafkheem. We checked Sheikh Dr. Yahyaa's book, and he does not include the tip of the tongue for the articulation point of the , but does say right or left side of the tongue until the sides end at the tip for the , wherein the old sources of tajweed say both sides are used together for the .
On the site here, the definition for the articulation point of the is:
It is articulated from the anterior one third of the sides of the tongue until the sides end at the tip, and what lies opposite to them of the gums of the two top front incisors, the two top lateral incisors, the two top canines, and the two top premolars.
Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree very accurately described the articulation point of both the and , one after another in his teaching poem:
In it he said:
And the Dhaad from its side [tongue's side] when it is close-/to the molars from its left or right [of the side of tongue]
And the Laam, its lowest [side of the tongue] until it ends [at the tip].
Sheikhah Rehab Shaqaqi under the supervision of Ash-Sheikh Dr. Ayman Swayd has recently written/compiled and published a book on tajweed. Included in it are the drawings for articulation points used in Sheikh Ayman's program on the Iqra' channel. The drawings and explanations (in Arabic) are very useful, insha' Allah. The name of the book is: Hilyatu At-Tilaawah fee Tajweed Al-Qur'an Al-Kareem.
2. Itbaaq as-shafatayn means closing them together, as we do with the meem.
Afwan. Wa assalaam alaikum.

Hey, Olive Oil Gelato Fans
Olive oil gelato is special. That, we have established. But sometimes you don't have access to it. Sometimes all you have in the freezer is a carton of vanilla and it's sounding a little, well, vanilla.
This is when you break out the good-quality olive oil and coarse salt and treat them as toppings just like chocolate syrup or rainbow sprinkles. It really hits the spot when you're craving a dessert that's more salty than sweet.
We scooped out some of the excellent vanilla ice cream from Straus Creamery, drizzled on the olive oil (from California Olive Ranch) and pinched on a few flakes of finishing salt (from The Meadow). Of course you can use any nice ice cream, oil, and salt combo you prefer. We liked the Straus because the rich, creamy, vanilla-beany scoops were a nice background to the grassy, peppery swirls of olive oil.
Add ice cream to your olive-drizzling routine.

Ghana Volunteer Takes on Round the World Yacht Race
Following on from a 3 month placement in Ghana, Harriet Walker has been inspired to take on a new challenge, a round the world yacht race! Here she tells us more:
'This time last year I had just arrived in Cape Coast, Ghana and given half the chance I would get on a flight back over there tomorrow! It was my three month trip of a lifetime that inspired me to take on my next big adventure – The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
Traveling with Projects Abroad in Ghana allowed me to meet other volunteers from a diverse range of nationalities, ages and backgrounds and I can honestly say that it was those friendships created between housemates and colleagues that made an already amazing experience into a spectacular one. It was meeting these individuals that has inspired me to take it one step further and I now want to meet more like minded travelers from all corners of the globe!
The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race takes place every two years and is unique in that it welcomes complete novices; therefore, it really is sailed by people like you and me - people who are eager for the challenge of a lifetime both physically and mentally. I have been a dinghy sailor for as long as I can remember, but as most of you probably recognize there is a massive difference between dinghies and yachts, so it will be as much of a shock to the system for me as for everyone else!
Prior to starting the race all of the crew undertake rigorous training as we must be prepared for every eventuality. Over the course of the last few races Mother Nature has been known to show her full force, resulting in a crew having to abandon ship in the middle of the ocean and many being evacuated via helicopter due to various turns of events!
If you have volunteered overseas or traveled before you will understand why I am now embarking on my next big adventure. I will be writing news updates every now and again to update you on my progress and then to allow you an insight into what life on a 70ft stripped down ocean racing yacht entails!'

The lowdown for those thinking of upgrading your Server Memory
So, how to make that balance work?
We've put together some answers to a few questions we often get asked to help answer that question:
How much memory is a good amount?
That is a bit like asking "how long is a piece of string", as what would seem like plenty to one organisation may not be nearly enough to another. It depends a great deal on the size of the network and what is trying to be achieved.
Capacity works in multiples, so if you have an existing network that you're upgrading, you can use it as a reference and scale it up as you see fit. It is also a good idea to add a little more on top to account for inaccuracies in your projections.
If you are having trouble in determining your current uses, there is free software available online, which can be used to monitor and report on your network usage. This information will give you a clear view of what your projected capacity would be when scaled up.
Do I have to fill every server slot?
There may be a small number of industries that need to gain a competitive advantage from having a larger capacity of memory, but if typically speaking, it is not necessary to fill every slot in your servers. The important factor to get right is the balance against the number of CPUs you have in the server.
Am I able to Mix DIMMs with different specs in my server?
It is possible to install DIMMs of differing capacity, as long as you observe the rule of balance and have the same memory available to each processor. Also, having too big of a differential (e.g. an 8 Gigabyte DIMM with a 32 Gigabyte) is not advisable and could result in issues with performance. You will also need to ensure that you are installing the same specification across all slots mixing ECC and ECC Reg modules will not work.
As you can see, there are no hard and fast rules when installing RAM into your server, as long as certain conditions are met. If you are still unsure how to proceed, we advise that seek out the help of one of our memory specialists.

NRA changes stance on background checks
The country's most powerful gun rights lobbying group has reversed its decade-old stance on requiring instant background checks for people buying guns at gun shows.
"We think it's reasonable to provide mandatory instant criminal background checks for every sale at every gun show," Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, said in 1999 after the Columbine High School shooting in suburban Denver. "No loopholes anywhere for anyone."
But now, LaPierre says gun laws requiring background checks are ineffective at keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.
"I do not believe the way the law is working now, unfortunately, that it does any good to extend the law to private sales between hobbyists and collectors," LaPierre told the Senate Judiciary Committee last month.
LaPierre said the government needs to prosecute more people who try to illegally buy guns from licensed dealers. Without better enforcement of existing laws, he said, more background checks would only be a burden on law-abiding gun buyers.
LaPierre has also suggested that an expansion of background checks would lead to a national registry of gun owners

A 3-year-old boy who was born with a birth defect that left him with intestines that formed outside his abdomen is recovering after undergoing a five-organ transplant at a Miami hospital.
Adonis Ortiz received a new liver, pancreas, stomach and small and large intestines when he underwent the transplant at Holtz Children's Hospital at the UM/Jackson Memorial Medical Center in October.
When Aracelis Ortiz was four months pregnant, she learned that her baby's intestines were protruding through a hole in the abdomen.
"He only had 28 centimeters of intestines. A normal baby has 250," she added.
Ortiz decided to go through with the pregnancy and Adonis was born at 36 weeks in Tampa on Dec. 7, 2010. He underwent his first surgery to repair the defect and doctors discovered the intestines that had formed outside his abdomen were damaged and the intestines inside never fully developed.
He underwent two more procedures but his condition worsened and other organs in his abdomen were compromised. In August, Adonis was diagnosed with stage 2 liver fibrosis, and doctors determined he was in need of a multivisceral transplant, which he underwent at Jackson in October.
Adonis became the first child his age in the world to receive a multivisceral transplant without a colostomy, an opening that connects the colon to the surface of the abdomen. The procedure is intended to keep him from having to have additional surgeries.
He still needs a feeding tube. But Ortiz said doctors expect her son to make a full recovery.
"We've gone through some ups and down, but I never lost faith," his mother said in a statement. "I'm happy and excited with his progress."

Beat the Streak Report: Wednesday, August 11
A lightning-round version of the Beat the Streak Report today, as early meetings plus early games equaled lost time.
The big news stemming from Tuesday was that our leader, "gfc2112", rode
Joe Mauer to a 35-game streak, becoming the eighth BTSer to reach that
mark for the year. And the eighth who will soon be haunted by an e-mail
from yours truly.
With lock time already passed, we know that "gfc2112" has selected
Stephen Drew for Wednesday, as the D-backs face off against Dave Bush
and the Brewers at 8:10 PM eastern time.
And with that …
Time for Wednesday's picks:
Oh, hello there …

? Chone Figgins: .500 AVG (8-for-16) lifetime vs. Athletics starter Dallas Braden
? Adrian Beltre: .389 AVG (7-for-18) lifetime vs. Blue Jays starter Shaun Marcum
Feeling kinda spicy?
? Jhonny Peralta: .474 AVG (9-for-19) lifetime vs. Rays starter Matt Garza
? Ronny Paulino: .435 AVG (10-for-23) lifetime vs. Nationals starter Scott Olsen
You'll thank me later …

? James Loney: .167 AVG (2-for-12) lifetime vs. Phillies starter Roy Oswalt
? Robinson Cano: .227 AVG (5-for-22) lifetime vs. Rangers starter Cliff Lee
Leaderboard time!
"halmuni" lived to survive another day, as James Loney extended our second-place streaker to 28 games.
Sorry, "halmuni", the answer is no — we do not sell "gfc2112" voodoo dolls.
Top MLB streakers
? Raul Ibanez: 17 games
? Howard Kendrick: 12 games
? Albert Pujols: 10 games

BTS Countdown
Minimum current streak required to have a chance at the prizes entering today (assuming no 1-game playoffs).
Streak of 3 for $3M, deadline was Aug 8th
Streak of 0 for $10K, deadline is Aug 21st (pending)
Just read the report now – I almost chose David Wright until I read about his hideous slump. :). Good luck to all!!!!
Well I'm out of the $3M running thanks to Mr. Pujols 0-fer this afternoon. Thanks Albert! I'm not sure if I'm gonna try for the $10,000 or not. Right now I'm thinking not.
@nymets1979: "I'm not sure if I'm gonna try for the $10,000 or not. Right now I'm thinking not."
Well, 3 ways to get $10,000
1) 11+ in HR BTS — yeah, right
2) 37+ in Survivor (doable I think)
3) 44+ in BTS (for right now)
The way I see it, might as well try 1 or more of those until mathematically eliminated. Someone may get lucky, might as well be you?

GL to all
True. I've been the luckiest in Survivor and BTS. Guess I'll keep going in BTS and start with Survivor tomorrow. I was hoping for the $3M, but who wasn't?
And the biggest slap in the nuts is having originally picked Jose Reyes and then changing to Pujols. I also thought about Pagan or Wright. So Reyes leads off with a bunt single and Pagan deposits the ball in the left field seats. Damn! Wow! I may never recover.
Dick George cringes a bit tonight.
Back to Back to Back to Back homers by AZ moves the leader up a notch tonight. I'm waiting for Kelly Johnson to join in on the fun too.
And now I cringe a bit. After going back to back nites with last AB hits, Kelly Johnson couldn't make it three nites. The pressure is off and a $10k run is now the half-hearted goal in BTS & Survivor. Time to spin down & take these last runs stress-free. At least I lost my shot swinging, a friend of mine, 3-gamer, lost his chance by picking Cantu today (unless he pinches in the 8th/9th).
Good luck to you bloggers still in the race for the big money. But I honestly expect the BTS mark to be 57 again next year.
Ouch, 24-gamer "blagecbrosinc", possibly picking Braun as a safe pick today just backfired on him. Pinch hit 0-fer. Well enough leaderboard watching for the next couple weeks.
I'll continue to post the countdown until I'm elminated from the 10k race. When that happens, I'll let you all know I'm done & someone else can continue the countdown if they wish.

Pre nuptial agreement
Pre nuptial agreement Lawyer / Attorney
Marriage is indeed a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, according to the numbers we so often hear, 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce. Pre nuptial agreements are used to minimize the disagreements that can arise between a divorcing couple. Additionally, they can help soothe the tremendous emotional stress that usually comes along with the unfortunate demise of a marriage.
A Pre nuptial agreement is a contract entered into by two people before they marry. Pre nuptial agreements most commonly deal with issues of property and support to which each party may be entitled in the event of divorce or death of one of the spouses. These agreements help curtail uncertainties about how a court might divide property and decide spousal support if the marriage fails.
Divorce is a sad and expensive process. Judges possess broad discretion on how to divide marital property and determine spousal support (alimony). However, if the parties have a valid Pre nuptial agreement then the court must follow the terms of the agreement in its final determination.
Pre nuptial agreements prove particularly important when a person marries for a second or third time, and especially when he/she has children from a previous marriage. Inheritance laws dictate that in the absence of a will, the property automatically passes to a surviving spouse; as a result, the children from the first marriage may be left with nothing. Pre nuptial agreements assure that certain assets or personal belongings are passed (as a whole or in part) onto the children or grandchildren of prior marriages rather than to a current spouse.
If you are a couple that is contemplating marriage, pre nuptial agreementwill clarify your expectations and ensure your future rights. Please contact us to learn more about Pre nuptial agreements.

CARSON, Calif. – Entering the 2011 MLS season, A.J. DeLaGarza was already a key part of the LA Galaxy. But no one knew exactly knew where he was actually going to play.
Adept at any position along the back line, injuries necessitated a move to center back and DeLaGarza became entrenched next to Omar Gonzalez as the season progressed.
Since early January, DeLaGarza has essentially started the process over. Currently in camp with the US national team, he's trying to show well at both center back and right back as he looks to make his debut with the USMNT.
And although he is willing to play wherever gives him the best chance of seeing the field, perhaps a slight change in mentality is necessary if he is to play on the outside.
"I don't know if it's nice to be back there," DeLaGarza told MLSsoccer.com on Wednesday when asked about playing at right back. "I'm kind of used to playing in the middle. It's fun to be out there. You get to go forward, you get to defend and I kind of think of myself as a pure defender at the moment."
The US senior team scrimmaged twice against Caleb Porter's Under-23 side over the past week at the Home Depot Center. In the first match – a 4-0 win for the first team – DeLaGarza played in the middle. In the second – a 1-1 draw – he played on the right.
But no matter where he finds himself, he has his heart set on one thing.
"I want to be a defender first," DeLaGarza said. "Defend first, attack second."
Of course, all those efforts are focused on one thing: seizing the opportunity in front of him.
DeLaGarza is one of several young and internationally untested players in camp. The team's month-long gathering culminates with games against Venezuela in Glendale, Ariz., on Saturday (9 pm ET, ESPN3/Galavisión) and Panama in Panama City on Jan. 25, and, like everyone else, the Galaxy stalwart wants to turn this chance to impress into something more.
"We know what's coming up in two-and-a-half years, we know what's coming up in qualifying and guys really want to make a name for themselves here and they have three weeks to do that," he said. "It's really special to be here."
Perhaps the only thing that could have made it more special would have been the opportunity to do so alongside longtime teammate and friend Omar Gonzalez. The 2011 MLS Defender of the Year was called in but withdrew to pursue a loan deal with FC Nürnberg. However, Gonzalez tore ligaments in his knee at the end of his first training session in Germany and has been ruled out for a minimum of seven months.
"It's very tough to see him go out," DeLaGarza said of his fellow Galaxy defender. "At this point in his career, he was really at a peak and possibly going to make a move. It sucks for him that he's going to be missing seven months, but at the same time he's going to have a long career and hopefully he can bounce back from this."
READ: LA's Gonzalez undergoes surgery to repair torn ACL
So while the dream of partnering with Gonzalez with the US may not be realized anytime soon, it's not one that needs to die off either. After all, neither could have envisioned how much their careers would become entwined when they first met at the University of Maryland.
"I don't think we even saw each other playing professional soccer together but now look at that, what's happened three years here with LA and to win a championship in college and now here is pretty special," DeLaGarza said. "We'd love to play with each other at the national team level and hopefully one day we can look forward to that, and maybe we can win a World Cup together."

The SSD Update: Vertex Gets Faster, New Indilinx Drives and Intel/MacBook Problems Resolvedby Anand Lal Shimpi on March 30, 2009 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- Storage
When we last left off Intel's X25-M continued to prove its worth as the best desktop SSD on the market today. But there was new hope in a small controller company based in Korea called Indilinx. Thanks to some quick acting, Indilinx and OCZ were able to put forth the first true value alternative to the X25-M: the Vertex SSD.
In Indilinx we Hope
Now other manufacturers are beginning to ship Indilinx Barefoot based SSDs and the latest updates to the controller's firmware make the SSD even faster than what I tested just a week ago.
Although I thought I'd be done with SSDs last week, the saga continues with a few minor updates important to anyone looking to buy an SSD today.
The Intel Update
I met with Intel this week to talk about its SSD roadmap as well as where the X25-M is today. Unfortunately I can't talk about most of the details yet, but more information is coming.
The performance issue PC Perspective uncovered is indeed a real issue, although not something that I've been able to run into outside of running specific benchmark patterns. I mentioned it was a non-issue in my last article and now, armed with even more information, I'm even more confident in that. I can't say much now, but it won't be too much longer before I can.
A few readers wrote me and asked why the X25-M doesn't work under Bootcamp on NVIDIA based Apple systems (e.g. the new MacBook/MacBook Pro). I didn't have an answer at the time but I looked into it. It turns out that there is a compatibility issue with some of the 80GB X25-Ms and those platforms, but Intel does have a fix.
For starters, if you have a 160GB X25-M or X18-M, you aren't affected by this issue; bootcamp will just work. The latest production of the 80GB X25-Ms are also not affected by this issue, but not the original drives. If you have an earlier X25-M and one of these Apple machines and are experiencing Bootcamp compatibility problems Intel wants you to contact its support staff for a fix: http://www.intel.com/support/
Remember what I wrote in my last SSD piece: "I'd venture a guess that Intel would not leave its most loyal customers out in the cold after spending $400 - $800 on a SSD. I can't speak for Intel but like I said, stay tuned."
I'll have more updates on the Intel drive in the coming weeks.

Patanjali - Wednesday, April 1, 2009 - linkIf Indilinx made the decision to do it off their own bat, OR it is not subject to a subcontracting agreement (that is, doing the firmware exclusively for OCZ), then they are free to offer it to all and sundry.
In some industries, even though specific customers pay for changes, they are made available to all customers after a delay period.
It really depends upon who has who over a barrel. Reply
siliq - Wednesday, April 1, 2009 - linkWith Anand's huge article and other articles, it's clear that the sequential read/write thoroughput doesn't matter so much - all SSDs, even the notorious JMicron series, can do a good job on that metric. What is relevant to our daily use is the random write rate. Latencies and IOs/second are the most important metric in the realm of SSD.
Based on that, I would suggest Anand (and other Tech reporters) to include a real world test of evaluating the Random Write performance for SSD. Because current real-world tests: booting windows, loading games, rendering 3D, etc. they focus on the random read. However, measuring how long it takes to install Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio, or a 4-GB PC Game would thoroughly test the Random Write / Latency performance. I think this is a good complementary of our current testing methodology Reply
7Enigma - Thursday, April 2, 2009 - linkThey did test that, see the FarCry 2 installation directory at the end of page 6. Reply
7Enigma - Thursday, April 2, 2009 - linkPage 5, page 5, edit, edit, edit... Reply
Patanjali - Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - linkI don't know if I missed it in the article, but I didn't notice the reason for the degradation.
Is it:
a. Faults in the firmware
b. Faults in the controller
c. Faults in the flash devices themselves, or
d. Progressive increase in the proportion of the SSD blocks that need erasing before rewrite?
To me, it seems that it might be d, especially when using sectors that are small compared to the SSD native block size.
I would be interested to see results for the same tests using 64kB sectors on all drives. For normal files (OS, apps and data), that would increase the space wastage by 8%, but is negligible for multimedia (where the file size is very large compared to the sector size).
I would expect such a change may well produce better overall performance as it would reduce the multiple full block rewrites that result from changes to multiple small files in the same block.
Some rough benchmarking I have done showed a 50% better real world copying of 1GB of files of various sizes between HDD drives compared to using default Vista sector sizes.
If the random write performance is better with larger block sizes, some wastage might be a small price to pay. We have been used to the compromises in using HDDs for so long that compensating for some SSDs downsides should be allowed.
My main interest in using SSDs is for a quiet and cooler Digial Audio Workstation (DAW). I currently have four 150GB WD Raptors making noise and over 40W of heat (requiring more noisy fans). A lot of planning and effort goes into optimising the HDD usage and partitioning.
And now some modern software sampled instruments are hundreds of GB that need fast, responsive storage media. Streaming hundreds of sample streams at once, I would expect HDDs to be spending most of their time seeking. SSDs would seem to be the solution for this, in that they have very short access times, allowing many more accesses per second, coupled with fast read times (to allow getting to the next stream faster). Reading does not seem to have any of the issues giving SSDs bad press.
However, having fast, silent drives for OSs (need multi-boot with one tweaked for audio performance) and projects (which have multiple read streams and simultaneous writes when recording) would complete the quiet profile. Reply
vol7ron - Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - linkNot to put OCZ down as I wish for them to continue to be a contender and to bring on competition (it's good economics), but...
for some reason it just seems like there is a little too much butt-kissing ever since the first article. Granted final points are made, but the first article was so objective and true. If you put out a crap product, then sales should drop. Anand, despite your relations with the manufacturers, if they want to stop sending you products, it's on them.
You can just wait til retail versions to review them, but the truth is the readers are going to side with you and not buy a product they don't know much about. Reply
Tuvok86 - Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - linkyeah I noticed a little butt-kissing going on, but I understand it, since OCZ was totally trashed by Anand regarding the whole Jmicron story so this kind of makes up for it, don't you think?
It's good that OCZ recognised its errors and listened to customers and reviewers, and this has to be acknowledged to them
LinkerX - Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - linkI think OCZ does a good job with customer service and PR, which means a lot coming from a small firm. I decided to buy a vertex drive after reading these reviews because it beat up on the raptor.
I do not mind firmware upgrades etc... as long as the performance keeps improving. Reply
7amood - Monday, March 30, 2009 - linkI am still amazed by your reviews... I just can't ask for more.
Keep it from your heart. Reply
araczynski - Monday, March 30, 2009 - linkvery nice, good to see someone slapping intel around a bit, again. intel may be the cream of the crop right now, but at their prices, that cream can just sit out in the sun for all i care.
looking forward to see how things change/improve when the real sized drives (500+GB) come out. Reply

Lines without signs don't mean a thing
March 11, 2008
Re: Borough surveillance cameras should be up and running soon, The Reporter, February 26. The following statement was made: "To an attendee's question of whether the borough has completed repainting yellow lines, Mr. Repasky said no. For public safety, the police are enforcing the new yellow lines on Brownsville Road and side streets."
The borough and citizens should be made aware that nowhere in the Vehicle Code is there a reference to no parking on a painted yellow line or any other color paint. In fact, there are no pavement markings that are enforceable unless accompanied by a sign denoting the restriction. So any yellow line, except for informational purposes, must be accompanied by a sign to be legally enforceable, except where specifically noted in the Vehicle Code such as the distance from a fire hydrant, intersection or driveway.
This is also true of handicapped parking slots. A sign must accompany the marking to be enforceable.

Well after about 8 years with some serious abuse and mileage, my Lowa Combat GTX boots are no longer suitable for use (they're actually still waterproof! But the lip connecting the sole is coming away from the boot and rubber sole has been burnt, as well as being hideously scratched etc). The Lowas are great and I would have no problem buying a pair tomorrow. But there is no harm in shopping around (particularly if the whispers about the next boot choice are true!).
Has anyone any other recommendations? I've heard that Meindl have released a new boot similar to the Lowa Combat? Thoughts experiences?

Dining with Dara: What's new, food trucks?
The old adage used to be that April showers brought May flowers. The new variation? April vehicle inspections bring May food trucks.
Tom Crann: Our regular food and dining correspondent Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl from "Mpls. St. Paul Magazine" is here to tell us about what's new in the world of Twin Cities food trucks. Welcome, Dara.
Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl: Hi, Tom.
Tom Crann: First, we should talk what food trucks are. Just what they sound like?
DMG: Yes. If you've got a kitchen licensed for commercial food production and a license from the City of Minneapolis and/or a license from the City of St. Paul, you are, for the purposes of hype and this conversation a food truck — even if your actual vehicle is a bus or a push-cart.
Tom Crann: Hype, yes. There has been a lot of hype.
DMG: And there's going to be more. Food trucks have been some of the biggest news in Twin Cities food the past couple years, with places like Hola Arepa, Vellee Deli , and the The Smack Shack .
And the new season is about to kick-off. All the big St. Paul food truck food courts start next week, and in Minneapolis, a new food truck seems to show up every day.
Tom Crann: The two cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul have different food truck cultures, don't they.
DMG: Yes. St. Paul has evolved little cozy villages of food, which we call 'food truck food courts', while Minneapolis has developed what I think of as a two-tier system, Marquette Avenue plus a free-for-all.
Tom Crann: Marquette in downtown Minneapolis, that's essentially a bus lane during rush hour, isn't it?
DMG: Exactly, four lanes, all for buses and emergency vehicles. So between morning and afternoon rush hours the city essentially turns over the curb-side lanes to food-trucks.
All the office workers up in their cubicles watch Twitter, because all the food-trucks use Twitter and Facebook to let people know where they're going to be, and then starting at 11 a.m. people flood into the streets to stand on line and Tweet about it to whoever's still sitting at their desks.
Tom Crann: A whole lot of Tweeting going on.
DMG: Yes, in St. Paul the trucks Tweet, and they use a hashtag, that is, the number signal (#) plus a word which allows you to speedily search Twitter for all the food trucks #foodtruckcourt.
So far this year there are going to be three St. Paul food truck food courts — all of which are set to kick off the first week in May. Monday, Monday's food truck court includes 128 Mobile Cafe, Vellee Deli, and Hola Arepa, and will be at Wabasha and 5th, near the Ecolab building — Tom, that's the one that MPR lost due to light rail construction.
Then comes Wednesday; Wednesday includes Chef Shack Gastrotruck , and Fork in the Road. On Thursdays, now, at Kellogg and Robert, near the river there will be a new food truck food court, with a mix of established and new food trucks, including Neato's Burgers, Home Street Home, Potter's Pasties and Pies, and Messy Giuseppe.
Tom Crann: New food trucks? How many new food trucks are there in 2012?
DMG: I actually don't know! There seem to be more coming out of the woodwork every day. There's one called the Bacon Trolley that debuted this week, another new one called Neato's Burgers which has French fries cooked in duck fat — a foodie obsession with many, including me. Foxy Falafel , which only used to have a bike, now has a truck. Anchor Fish and Chips is launching a truck sometime in the next month.
There's a locavore one called Home Street Home which will have meat from Buffalo, Minn., and pulled pork slow-cooked in Summit IPA served on St. Paul's own Agnes Baking Company bread. Bloomy's Roast Beef just launched — a kickstarter success story, dedicated to slow-roasted roast beef sandwiches, in a truck. There's also the current category leader for crazy unhealthy: Tot Boss , which includes, yes, you guessed it, bacon wrapped tater tots, which you dip in cheese sauce. They're launching May 1.
There is even at cupcake truck, Cupcake Social . I can't even figure out if that's very 2012, or very 2011.
Tom Crann: So do you have a favorite?
DMG: No, not yet. It's too early. Half of the new ones haven't launched yet, and there are more coming — there's an Aussie's Kebabs place that just got funded on Kickstarter.
Tom Crann: Australian kabobs?
DMG: It's a thing, I guess. But that's what's magical about this food truck phenomena: The start up costs are low, the number of customers willing to take a flyer on something new is high — all you need is four wheels and a dream at this point.
And in Minneapolis the Park Board is going to release a plan in June which would allow food trucks into city parks. This plan will need community approval, city council approval, and so on, but if it happens, get ready for there will always be Motor City — but the Twin Cities might just become known as Motor Snacking City.

Blake Shelton Spills the Worst Career Advice He Ever Received
Blake Shelton has seen much success over his lifetime, from multiple Grammy nominations to Gold and Platinum albums, and it seems that he's always taken the right steps to get him toward his goals. However, had the Oklahoma native taken some bad career advice early on, it could have easily ruined his career.
Everyone knows that singers need to protect their voices, especially since vocal chords are their main instrument. But Shelton dished to Access Hollywood that he was actually told the opposite. "I had a producer tell me one time when I was younger to start smoking in order to develop more of the rasp," he recalls.
It was an effort to get the 'Sure Be Cool if You Did' singer to sound more cool, and the thing is -- the country star took his word for it, before realizing it was a bad idea, adding, "He was like, 'Maybe if you started smoking you could get some of that cool ...' and I tried it for like three months."
Thank goodness Shelton put down the pack before he ruined his distinctive voice, because that voice recently graced the stage of the 2013 ACMs, probably serenades his lovely wife Miranda Lambert, and is the star of 'Based on a True Story...,' his most recent successful album. The singer has a good head on his shoulders, especially shown when he gives out solid advice as a judge on 'The Voice,' and he's certainly never told a singer to start smoking in order to improve their vocals. Drinking, on the other hand...
