Like the Brashear-Laraque fight that is being hotly debated in this thread, one punch at the end does not flip a fight that was otherwise controlled by the other fighter (unless it's a KO).
Here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land The countless white crosses in mute witness stand To man's blind indifference to his fellow man And a whole generation who were butchered and damned. |

Gotta agree on the Thornton vs. Kassian fight, looked like a draw.
A couple others that I thought were draws.
From the same game, While Niskanen was more active I thought Marchand landed a few good shots to make this a draw. I'm sure Marchand was deducted due to the slewfoot that preceded the fight.
Just a few others that I saw as draws...contrary to voting.
PingPang must have voted on these draws, that were voted wins for Huggy I guess for flailing around.
Never really thought Brashears flailing hooks and rabbit punches ever did any damage. Give him credit for activity I guess... P.S. I always thought Dale Arnold was a decent play by play guy for the Bruins.

Marty wins the fight, Clark tagged him a couple of times with good punches, he certainly should have as he has the usual jump on his opponent but Marty in control and landing the whole fight gets the nod from me too.

He's got dozens and dozens of "fights" like that on his resume but I guess he gets "credit" for being active, bigger, and stronger than most of his opponents. It's why I can't rank him in the top 5 and never will. And punches to the helmet don't hurt, it's why players wear helmets. Duh.

[quote=Must hurt watching your precious Bruins get beat on. Hahahahahaha. If you wanna look at draws just for the sake of them, you might as well watch Shawn Thornton's fights.[/QUOTE] LOL yeah get beat on with little rabbit punches. I guess I'd rather watch a Shawn Thornton draw...than a Donald Brashear hug-fest, and if I wanted to watch a one sided beating I could just watch Riley Cote get tuned up.

probie/clark 3
I'd be interested in everyone's take on this fight, the only time they fought twice in one game. After that first fight the crowd was all excited and the Hockey News blurb had clark with this glorious victory. As I saw hit, he got the usual jump, threw a bunch of punches, may be a few landed, Probie spent some time adjusting his helmet and getting mad then threw two big rights that knocked Clark down, and then the linesman came in before he could hit him again. I could be biased so I figured I'd see what the posters thought.
Also, I think if you asked Laraque and Huggy on the way to the box which one thought that fight was a mistake it would have been huggy. |

Are you Bench Clearer reincarnated? You post just like he does and are adamant about how great Brashear is and it's funny, I have him at number 7 all time and you have him at number 6, a top 10 all time NHL fighter!! What's wrong with that? He'd be higher if he didn't bail in fights, seat belt fights, show very little heart in so many of his fights, and generally act like a douchebag most of his career although that last part doesn't really matter in terms of rankings. Facts are I rank him as one of the all time best and am more than happy to criticize him for his style and his attitude and that's it, end of story. it's not a joke and I'm certainly not a joke, I've been watching hockey fights since the 80's and since youtube became available, have watched hundreds, if not thousands of fight videos, it's a great hobby, so your attitude towards me is not only wrong but not welcome here. Tone it down and just enjoy the knowledge from the many posters here who are smarter than you, I certainly do and there is no need to be rude and call people names who say something you might not like.

No, you really don't need to keep me in check, it's not your job. You're welcome to disagree but it's how you do it that gets on people's nerves.
Brashear didn't beat my favorite fighter, just so you know. Dave Brown is my favorite fighter with Probert a close 2nd. There are probably 50+ guys, if not more, who I like better than him but I give the devil his due. I'm not worried about who he beat, he has a terriffic fight card and anyone acting the way he does would have a long line of guys lining up to try and kick his butt. It's why Marty clubbed him and it's why I have Marty ahead of him all-time at number 6 because Marty had more heart in his pinkie toe than Brash had in his his whole body. Marty clubbing Brash was akin to Domi sucker punching Ulfie, lots of guys wanted to do it and someone finally did and no matter what anyone says, they deserved what they got. I know there are guys who were better than him and he comes in at number 7 and that's generous enough. I'm not going to supply all of the evidence of why he isn't higher, others have done that, I don't have the time for it, but I know his bails and fighting on his terms and the way he fought makes him not as good as the guys above him. Being a Flyers fan myself, 5 of my favorites were Brown, Wilson, Schultz, Tocchet, and Berube, I SHOULD like Brashear but I don't care what team he plays for, the guy was an a$$hole, bottom line, and I never liked anyone like that. I don't doubt their talent though.

[quote=Dude, there you go again. He was put down once and very quickly got back up.

Stream Gucci Mane Trap House III
May 24, 2013 7:57am | StereoGum When Gucci Mane cranks out way more (excellent) free music than anyone could reasonably be expected to process, it might seem a bit weird when he makes a new mixtape and actually asks people to pay for it. But Gucci's new Trap House III is probably the best of the many full-lengths he's released this year, and it's definitely the weirdest, full of bizarre little synthy circus fanfares and convoluted singsong rhyme schemes. It's the first tape Gucci's made since his recent split with Waka Flocka Flame, and replacing Flocka's anarchic energy, we've got sly earwormy sing-raps from Atlanta up-and-comers like Yung Thug and Rich Homie Quan, which makes for an intriguing switch. If Gucci was giving this one away for free, it'd be a lock for Mixtape Of The Week next week. As it is, $6 doesn't seem like too much to ask. But judge for yourself; Trap House III is streaming below. Read More...

Daft Punk on track to break more streaming records with Random
Access Memories
May 24, 2013 7:32am | Fact Magazine Digital love. Daft Punk's world-beating single 'Get Lucky' has already broken Spotify's first-day streaming record, at this point nudging towards a mammoth thirty million plays, and it looks like the French duo's full-length Random Access Memories is on its way to go even further. The album has already reset the Spotify record for first day streaming, and now it looks like it's set to grab the record for most first week streams, nudging out current top-spot holder Babel by folkie types Mumford & Sons. Random Access Memories has had an incredible run this last few weeks, and while the music itself is still like Marmite to some fans, it at least seems to be pushing people to actually take a proper listen and see what the fuss is about.

May 24, 2013 7:00am | Fact Magazine If you like your hip-hop laid back to the point of being horizontal, Digable Planets will likely already have pride of place on your hard drive. Consisting of Ishamel 'Butterfly' Butler, Craig 'Doodlebug' Irving and Mary Ann 'Ladybug' Vieira, plus touring DJ Silkworm (who would later come into his own as King Britt), Digable Planets were a major force in the early 1990s alt.rap scene. 1993 debut Reachin' (A New Refutation Of Time And Space), notable for smash 'Rebirth Of Slick', laid poker-faced rhymes over backing tracks schooled in cool jazz and Grant Green. 1994′s Blowout Comb saw them expand their palette, bringing in the likes of Guru and Jeru The Damaja into the fold and beefing up their sound considerably. The group split soon after, although they reunited in various permutations throughout the 2000s. After a period in the wilderness, Butler's career has also had a second lease of life: trading as Palaceer Lazaro, he's the mastermind behind critically feted wyrd-rap unit Shabazz Palaces. Light In The Attic – home to recent reissues of PiL's First Issue and the Searching For Sugar Man OST – will handle an expanded Blowout Comb reissue. Following on from this year's repress of D'Angelo's Voodoo, sub-label Modern Classics will put out the record next week. Blowout Comb...

- Artists:
- Scott Walker »
- Label:
"If you're listening to this you must have survived" declares Scott Walker towards the end of 'Dimple', the sixth of the nine pieces that make up Bish Bosch. He may have a point. By this time, the sound of a jammed CD, fairground rides, sharpened knives and even what appears to be someone repeatedly breaking wind will have passed through the speakers over the fifty minutes and thirty-two seconds that precede 'Dimple'. Perhaps even more harrowing is the fact there's still another twenty-three minutes of this aural endurance test to go.
Earlier this week on these very pages, a debate raged surrounding the merits or lack of regarding Bish Bosch. Those arguing in favour seemed to be of the opinion that anyone not fully au fait with the concept of Bish Bosch didn't quite understand "challenging music." Now excuse me for a minute, but since when did listening to music become a challenge? For me, listening to music should be a pleasurable experience, something to savour and enjoy. A leisurely pursuit. Inspiring even. That's not to say it should be lacking in spark, or vigour, or originality either, but a challenge? No thanks. If I want a challenge I'll cycle down the A52 blindfolded. Or attempt to climb a mountain. Build a house, even.
Before the self-anointed art police get all hot and flustered, let's talk about "difficult" albums that shy away from expectation. Anyone that's heard 20 Jazz Funk Greats by Throbbing Gristle or Feeling The Space by Yoko Ono for example might know what I'm talking about. Even something as gravity-defying as Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral falls into this category too, along with the abstract rhythms of Photek (Modus Operandi is still one of the great dance records of all time!). Sadly folks, Bish Bosch is just a step too far. It's Metal Machine Music for the sake of it - an ungainly exercise in creating something nonsensical because one can (which is a real privilege in the current economic climate of the record biz...). One question I would put to any of those sticking up for "challenging music": Would you honestly listen to repeat plays of this record? Or even get from start to finish in one sitting? Because if the answer is "Yes", then maybe the sound of a pneumatic drill ripping through concrete is a more comforting one for your palette than anything resembling music (Isn't that almost exactly how you once described A Place to Bury Strangers gig, Dom? - Art-Police Ed).
Let's not forget once upon a time this was the man responsible for such inspirational pieces as this and this, albeit with a little help in the writing department from Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Even, Tilt, arguably Walker's first venture into the world of avant garde (or anti-song depending how acerbic one wishes to be) was a bold, if entirely unexpected statement of intent highlighting its creator as a true musical chameleon. Bish Bosch's predecessor and Walker's last collection of original material The Drift maybe offered a hint at where he was heading next, i.e. as far away from the concept of discernible tune as possible. Certainly the metallic riffs which characterized the majority of that record can be heard emphatically on the likes of 'Corps De Blah' and 'SDSS14+13B (Zercon, A Flagpole Sitter). That the two aforementioned tracks take up over half an hour and half of Bish Bosch in their own right probably exemplifies why this record is something of an "acquired" taste.
I really had high hopes when sticking my hand up to review this, and thankfully there are parts of Bish Bosch that at least create a modicum of humour, most notably in Walker's lyrics. "Here's to a lousy life" which he opines at the conclusion of 'Phrasing'. Earlier, Mr Walker advised us "Pain is not allowed!", its abstract percussion-led musing, ranking it to these ears as one of Bish Bosch's most listenable pieces. Meanwhile, on 'Epizootics!', which falls just eighteen seconds short of the ten minutes mark, Walker professes to accidently kicking someone in the bollocks among other copiously impetuous asides ranging from the delectable to just plain daft. Elsewhere, the knife sharpening rears its ahead once more on 'Tar', where a chorus of buzzing wasps also act as a musical backdrop of sorts at one point. By the time 'Pilgrim''s two-and-a-half minute mantra and the frankly bizarre 'The Day The Conducator Died (An Xmas Song)' bring Bish Bosch to a welcome conclusion, we're none the wiser in trying to fathom what was going through Scott Walker's mind whilst creating Bish Bosch.
So, yes, from the perspective of this listener: Bish Bosch is certainly a challenge. Uncompromising, pretentious and ultimately unlistenable. If this is meant to be the third and final instalment of Walker's experimental phase, let's hope he returns to what he does best with his next project. As a result, it would be impossible for me to award this record with any kind of customary mark out of ten (perhaps an indecipherable squiggle would be apt?) because it quite simply doesn't bare comparison to anything these ears have been subjected to past, present or otherwise (and I own at least three Whitehouse albums). However, what is for certain is that Bish Bosch won't be featuring in my end-of-year "Best Of" list.
- Post a new comment on this articleI really wanted to like this.
But after listening to it continuously for the best part of a fortnight my ears just gave up. I think they were probably crying out for something, anything resembling a tune.
since I think parts of it are more tuneful than the last two albums. I've found myself unexpectedly humming melodies from it in my head past few days. Today it was from Zercon, the repeated refrain of roman numerals. I think Corps De Blah has quite a strong melody at the centre of it. Mind You Don't Bump Your Head and Phrasing have also to a lesser extent. But then if you're expecting hooks in such a work, you're always going to be disappointed.
I don't think it's as good as the last two albums. That said, I probably need to hear it another 10 times before I can properly assess it. It is certainly messy and the way the music soundtracks the lyrics is becoming a little too literal for my liking. Also I'd rather his voice stayed more neutral as there's a theatricality to this record which is OTT. But then that's just a personal preference.
I'm glad you crossed out the word 'pretentious' (though you're still kind of having your cake and eating it). 'Pretentious' is such an over-used and abused word. Something mainstream has just as much chance of being 'pretentious' as something that is more 'out there'. Now, whether you think SW believes his works to be greater and more important and accomplished than they are, one can only go by one's gut. Personally, I think he's quite genuine when he comes out with this rather 'different' kind of music. But then I could be wrong.
The biggest problem for me is I still associate
Scott Walker with his classic torch ballads of the late 1960s/early 1970s, and while I applaud any artist that dares to move on and try something different I'm really struggling to get my head around 'Bish Bosch'.
Well work your way there slowly then
Nite Flights, Climate Of Hunter, Tilt, The Drift, other bits and bobs.
Sometimes I'm happy not to get my round something. Sometimes fighting it is the worst thing.
I'm not saying it's mandatory that you like Bish Bosch. As I wrote above, I have reservations about it. Just some suggestions.
Would you honestly listen to repeat plays of this record? Or even get from start to finish in one sitting?
Yes. And I have done about 10 times since Monday. And enjoyed it.
SDSS1416+13B (Zercon, A Flagpole Sitter)*
"Pain is not alone"
*it's all over the sleeve notes. Bad ID3 tagging and Spotify are not helping this mistake.
I didn't have the CD
Just one of those crummy stream/downloads that labels & PRs tend to send out these days.
I'm very proud of you, Dom.
No review score. Just your opinion, a genuine apathy verging on active dislike, of an incredibly deep but highly divisive piece of work. Some people would have fallen into the trap of utter praise or utter disgust, with a score to reflect those feelings, but you decided against it.
Journalists are slowly realizing that you can't put a hard number to art. It's only when you follow somebody's reviews and figure out that you share their tastes that you can actually derive some value from their well-articulated opinion.
I like the record quite a bit and I am excited to continue exploring the soundscapes, references, and so forth. It stands to reason that if you were to give this (IMO) masterpiece a 3/10 or something as the official DiS score, my interest and stock in this site would drop a bit.
You wrote in an even-handed fashion while preserving your own journalistic integrity. Bravo!
I'm still waiting for this to drop into the mailbox
but I can honestly say I put the Drift on all the time and I enjoy it. It's a different musical experience for sure and it conjures up emotions that no other album has been able to. I don't think it's totally inaccesible either. I don't see how someone can love some of the Liars stuff, Trout Mask Replica or maybe even the new Ariel Pink and find Walker stuff so unlistenable. It's cut from the same cloth.
What the fock is 'the concept of discernible tune'?
I don't get it. The record is full of melody.
Why is this guy writing for DIS?
He listened for a fortnight and was waiting for something resembling 'a tune'. Barking up the wrong tree mate.
He still associates Scott Walker with his stuff from the 60's. Then why is he reviewing this album?
Thing about 'challenging' music is that it becomes less challenging the more you read it. It's like reading books. Hearing the opinions of someone with such a limited musical insight in a feature review really puts me off reading this website.
Something is happening here & you don't know what it is, do you Mr. Jones?
Scurry off back to your indie comfort zone, Mr. Gourlay.
could DiS not find someone with a frame of reference for this sort of thing to review this?
This is a pretty pathetic critique; the review concedes in the first paragraph that Mr. Gourlay was in no way willing to actually engage with this record. I would've been damn embarrassed to run something this facile. The overall tone reminds me of a cop in a Monty Python sketch stumbling into the frame with a "WOTS ALL THIS THEN?"

A wealthy Brazilian entrepreneur became a major investor in the Orlando City Soccer Club on Friday, bringing an influx of cash that makes it much more likely that Orlando will land a Major League Soccer franchise — and that taxpayers will help foot the bill for a new soccer stadium.
In an exclusive interview with the Orlando Sentinel on Sunday, Orlando City Lions president Phil Rawlins and businessman Flávio Augusto da Silva confirmed that he is now part of the team's ownership group and will eventually be its primary owner. The investment is a major step in the minor league USL Pro team's effort to gain entry into Major League Soccer.
"Orlando is a very special city, because it is very close to the South American market and close to the European market, two regions that really love soccer," Augusto da Silva said. "We were researching a franchise in another place, but we believe Orlando is a really good city to invest."
At the same time, negotiations are under way between team executives and officials from Orlando and Orange County over building a new $105 million stadium for the team. Taxpayers would pay most of the tab for the 18,000-seat facility.
"A soccer-specific stadium is a must for the award of an MLS franchise," said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.
MLS plans to expand in the next few years and is eyeing the Southeast, where it has no teams. League Commissioner Don Garber has all but promised Orlando City Soccer Club a franchise, but a smaller stadium designed specifically for soccer is a prerequisite for admission.
Using a mix of hotel taxes and other public and private funding, the city finished the new Amway Center NBA arena in 2010, is in the middle of building a new downtown performing arts center and this year will begin major renovations of the Citrus Bowl — where the Lions now play. All together, that construction boom will cost more than $1.1 billion.
The soccer stadium would be a new addition to that list. So far, all discussions about whether to build it and how to pay for it have taken place behind closed doors.
There's been no agreement on a financing plan between Dyer's administration and Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs' administration. But here is what's being discussed:
•$30 million from the team.
•$30 million in state sales taxes.
•$25 million in hotel taxes from the county.
•$20 million from the city, mostly in land costs.
"This is moving far quicker than I ever anticipated," Dyer said. "There is a lot going on right now, and there are a lot of moving pieces."
Rawlins defended the use of public dollars for the facility, pointing to a study commissioned by the team that found an MLS team playing in a downtown stadium would produce a $1.3 billion economic impact over 30 years. Under the proposal being discussed, there would be no increase in hotel taxes, he said, and the sales taxes represent money generated by the stadium.
"This is a net positive for the community," Rawlins said.
Even so, it's not a sure thing.
The state funding depends on the fate of bills filed by State Sen. David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs, and state Rep. Bryan Nelson, R-Apopka. The bills would add up to two new MLS franchises to the list of professional sports teams already eligible to receive $2 million a year in sales tax subsidies, money that could go to the stadium's construction.
"It's pretty important that we get it done," Nelson said. "MLS could go to Atlanta or another city in the South."
Gov. Rick Scott has expressed support for the legislation, but that's no guarantee it will pass.

There are a lot of beauty choices that I wouldn't go for myself, but accept as a trend. I don't think bleached eyebrows fall into that category. Well, Kelly Osborne really went for it. I'll admit that she doesn't look as scary as she could after making such a decision, but I'm just not into it. I do love her purple hair though. See more photos in the gallery.

Anyone still use a typewriter? Did you take typing in high school?
I was going through a National Geographic from 1976 which had an ad for the new Smith Corona cartridge ribbons.... "just snap them on." The ribbon can be replaced in 3 seconds.
I googled to see if they still make typewriters and found some companies still do.
Btw, Smith Corona is still in business, making labels, ribbons and typewriter supplies.


text: Dear all, after a first round of comments and suggestions, let me summarize: 1. I think it will be unwise to re-open the discussion on the already standard UCD main document (thus de-classing it back to WD) to ease the approval of a second standard, just because we are too lazy to find a reasonable spelling for a few words! 2. Let?s keep changes to a minimum. I found suggestions on the atmol and flux/sb words very interesting and worth discussing with more time and care. Shortly we will know how to do it ! (http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/UCDmaintenance.html) 3. atmol: I think the simplest solution in this particular case is to change the words phys.at.* into phys.atomic.* 4. ?obtorto collo? (we do it, but we whould have preferred not to do it!) we go for phot.flux.density* and phys.energy.density 5. phys.massToLight can become phys.composition.massLightRatio (indeed the ratio has to do with the barionic composition of galaxies or clusters of galaxies) 6. phys.massYield can become phys.composition.yield (also in this case the new version is better than the old one - mass just indicated units) I will wait for a few more days before changing the list of words.

After that you have the choice to keep the FW on the PS3 and start your backups using the current managers, so the FW is functional.
Or you can call in OFW 3.55 to recover a Waninkoko, rebug or kmeaw...
The FW is in 3.55, patched with "promo-to-retail patch" which will allows you to install it on any PS3 Demo (3.55 and lower).

Internet Security CentreInternet SecurityInternet ThreatsWhat is a drive-by download?
A drive-by download is a program that is automatically installed on your computer when you're visiting a booby-trapped website or viewing a HTML e-mail message. The malicious program is downloaded to your computer without your consent or knowledge, without your having to click on a link on the page or in the e-mail.
Greetings... you've been infected
Drive-by downloads are typically carried out by exploiting browser vulnerabilities or lowered security settings on your computer.
Speakers showed how easy it is to craft such an attack in a presentation at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, held in February 2011. According to them, hackers can manipulate a visitor's computer without permission by using a simple PDF that contains malicious code.
A study released by Google in December 2010 warned about "very high levels" of drive-by downloads attacks. This situation is a direct result of Web 2.0, Google found. The typical Web portal now uses many complex applications on top of the simple Web browser, making the Web 2.0 a fertile breeding ground for malware. Links, blog postings, shared applications and syndicated traffic are all backdoor opportunities for unknown exploits to invade legitimate sites.
"On a financial services website, the malware will try to log the keystrokes. There were days when an attacker had to guess the user's credentials, now there is a new method of attack and you can infect a website with a bad page", the report said.
Unfortunately, the idea that URLs containing malicious software reside only in the darker corners of the Internet is simply not true anymore. A well-known example was the official website of BBC radio that was hacked In February 2011 and was linked to an injected iframe.
How to avoid drive-by downloads
To minimize the risk of drive-by downloads, you should keep your browser and your internet security software updated at all times. Also install all Windows patches as soon as they are released and don't click on links in unsolicited or otherwise dubious e-mails.

State leaders are considering introducing a bill that would allow high school students to enroll in community college courses for free. Community College System Chancellor Mark Heinrich says he is working with lawmakers to draft a bill on the issue as early as the 2013 legislative session. Heinrich says allowing dual enrollment in high school and community college would better prepare students for post-secondary and technical education, or to immediately enter the workforce. State leaders say they could maximize participation in community college courses by offering them for free, but acknowledge that funding such a program could be a potential hurdle.

As a small Connecticut school tries to get back into a routine, it's receiving well wishes from Kansas.
Students went back to class at the new Sandy Hook Elementary school this week. It's their first time back since the December massacre that killed 20 children and six educators.
Students at Wichita's Northwest High School created a special banner to send to the students of Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut.
The banner was set up for students and staff at the high school to sign before school and during lunch Friday.

The top three entries for the 2012 Treasures of Anson art contest were announced on Aug. 12 at the 2nd Sunday Art Reception of the Anson County Arts Council.
First place went to Jerrette McCrimmon (airbrush), second to Dave Arey (wood) and third to Clarice Martin (oil). Contest entries will remain on display at the Arts Council for a short while.
McCrimmon created a brilliant depiction of a bluebird with, according to judges, "skillful use of airbrush stenciling" on canvas. Arey used his woodworking skills to create an outline of Anson County with an applied "reduction of the essence of a bluebird into simple, abstract shapes to make an outstanding creative work." Martin showed "wonderful expertise in a traditional oil medium" with "subtle blending of color on the bluebird." There were a total of ten entries for this first Treasures of Anson art contest. The event had the help of the Tourism Development Authority, the Arts Council and the community at large.
The judge for this year's contest was Joe Liles III. An Anson native, he currently resides in Durham and is now retired after 28 years as an art instructor at the N.C. School of Math and Science.
The other featured artist at this 2nd Sunday Art Reception was local author Sandy Bruney, who signed copies of her latest novel The Lunch Club."

Our friends over at Mother Nature Network have compiled a list of the ten greenest cities on the planet. More than just having a solid recycling program, green public spaces like parks and community gardens, and ample bike lanes, these cities have risen to the top for "actively fighting climate change on a large scale, and setting an example for the rest of the world."
The following cities were chosen for exemplary use of renewable energy, promotion of green lifestyles, green laws that protect the environment, and innovative strategies for new green communities.
1. Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik runs its city almost entirely on renewable energy. The island nation is plush with geothermal activity that is converted into clean energy and uses only 0.1% fossil fuels to power its electricity. Likewise, according to How Stuff Works, the country of Iceland plans to unplug itself from all dependence on fossil fuels by 2050 to become a hydrogen economy. Already, Reykjavik (and all of Iceland) gets energy for heat, hot water and electricity entirely from hydropower and geothermal resources — both of which are renewable and free of greenhouse gas emissions.
2. San Francisco, California
Since starting their mandatory recycling program in October 2009, San Franciscans have kept 77% of discarded materials out of landfills — the highest such diversion rate in the United States. San Francisco came in the top three greenest cities of North America in five out of nine metrics ranked by the Economic Intelligence Unit in 2011 including energy, green buildings, transportation, water and air quality. In 2007, San Francisco became the first major U.S. city to ban plastic bags – saving about 100 million bags from ending up in landfills each year.
Sweden's third-largest city is a model of urban sustainability, leading in renewable energy solutions and abundant green space. The city is home to the third-largest wind energy park in the world and aims for all of its city operations to be climate-neutral by 2020. Likewise, Western Harbour, a neighborhood within Malmö, runs on 100-percent renewable energy from sun, wind and hydropower, as well as biofuels generated from organic waste. Its buildings are constructed with sustainable materials and designed to be energy efficient, and its streets are pedestrian and cycle friendly — 40% of commuters and 30% of all travelers go by bike! [source: PV Upscale]
Vancouver is the greenest city in Canada and the second-greenest in North America after San Francisco. Vancouver aims to become the greenest city in the world by 2020. The city is a hub for clean-tech innovation, such as the solar-powered trash compactors which have popped around the city, each the size equivalent to a normal trashcan but able to hold five times the waste (which puts fewer emissions-spewing garbage trucks on the roads), boasts low-carbon emissions and draws an impressive 90% of its power from renewable sources, mostly in the form of hydroelectric power. Vancouver is also home to more than 200 parks. Continue reading

Unable to connect converter box

Unable to connect converter boxHi, I have a 2007 Holiday Rambler Augusta B+. It has a Winegard batwing with the power booster. I am not able to get the digital converter to work with the system. There is a box with two cable connections, one says antenna and one says cable. I attach the cable from the antenna and have no problems. But when I attach the converter box I can not get any picture. Also, when I try and attach a DVD player, I do not get a TV picture. It is as if when I try and take the signal from the powered antenna to anything but the RVs cable box I get no signal. I did take the cable box off and noted that there is some type of circuit board with cables attached to the cable box. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Re: Unable to connect converter boxI managed a work around today. Instead of connecting the digital converter box with the cable that comes from the antenna and plugs into the cable box, I took the cable that comes from the circuit board behind the cable box that connects into the back of the tv off of the tv and plugged it into digital converter box and then used the antenna out on the converter box to connect to the tv, and guess what, it worked. I had some 40 plus beautiful digital channels. I hope this helps someone else who may have the same problem.
Re: Unable to connect converter boxGood morning majoraud -
Glad to see you got it working! 40 channels for free, fantastic!
Re: Unable to connect converter boxgood idea majoraud. I had to do the same thing when I first tried the converter box. I was able to later set it up, but hey getting free channels doesn't hurt either. Thanks for the post.

Mothers of Preschoolers
by Susan Besze Wallace
Words. It's never too early to start teaching and modeling that our words have a lasting impact.
"Mom, Mom!" my 7-year-old shouted, running toward some stylin' men's swim trunks in the store.
"Wouldn't Dad think these are sexy?"
Sexy? Dad? WHAT?
Not exactly a bad word, and not totally out of context, but my stomach flipped at the "vocabularial" milestone we'd just reached. I ignored laughter from an aisle over and tried to react without hysteria.
Words. What power. They take us to new heights. They devastate us. They unite, and they separate. We live in a culture where sarcasm, debate, judgment and innuendo are the norm. It takes effort to show children that speaking in love is a much more productive alternative for our families — and our world. It's never too early for parents to start teaching and modeling that our words have a lasting impact.
Set family standards. As with so many things, if a family establishes standards early on, they are less likely to be broken. We don't like the word "hate." Whether it's broccoli or a scary storm, we try to help our kids pick a better adjective. When we ask "How was your day?" we make a funny buzzer sound if we hear the vanilla word "good." We want to know more! They laugh and then dig deeper. "Get me milk" (or anything else) is often followed by mom or dad saying, "Are you asking or telling?" Manners come quite naturally from that distinction.
Then there are the words for body parts or the word "stupid" or the word repeated from the playground. Team up with your spouse to decide what's appropriate, ideally, before it enters your house.
Live by example. I heard a great children's object lesson that asked kids to stuff toothpaste back into the tube. Can't be done. Just like undoing spoken words. But we can model forgiveness. We all get angry, but the words we choose are just that, a choice. What do you say when a jar drops on your toe? When your favorite team loses? When someone passes by wearing something unseemly? Our words are echoed in their minds. Our tone of voice is imitated. I remind our sons, in a fit of unhappiness, to "use the voice God gave you" to help them regain control — and need reminding of that myself.
Limit. Being the media gatekeeper for your family is a serious responsibility. Just because it's on a kids' channel doesn't make it appropriate for your children. Reconsider watching or listening to talk shows while your kids are around. Debate has its place, but kids absorb tension, volume, sarcasm and anger.
Narrate. Explain the nuances of words often enough and kids will learn to choose theirs more carefully. Hear a parent or child yelling at each other in a store? Point it out, quietly, not to judge other families, but to teach that words can feel like a gift or a big bop on the head. Kids can make people feel that way too.
Try asking at dinner or bedtime: Who said or heard something nice today? If we want our kids to grow into teenagers slinging love instead of attitude, we must cheer them on.

I am an atheist and I have only really told my immediate family. This is mainly because my sister is an atheist to so we talk about it pretty openly in my house. However, when it comes to social situations and religion is brought it can get a little awkward. Most the time people will ask if I am Catholic or Christian and I normally just say no and leave it at that. How would you tell people that you are an atheist?
I don't usually call myself an atheist because most believers have incorrect ideas about what the term means. I try to avoid the subject or else just say "I am not religious" or "I don't believe in the supernatural" or some such. If I feel it is necessary AND I know I will be given time to explain, only then will I say that I am an atheist. If you are dealing with someone who won't give you time to explain, then it is usually better to be a bit aggressive and put the onus on the believer and say something like "I don't feel the need for an invisible friend (or a need to pretend that I know how the universe came to be, for that matter)". Variations of this include "I think it is silly for adults to believe in fairy tales" or "I don't believe in magic".
Just remember that there are believers who are very hostile toward atheists. Protect yourself by being circumspect.
Wow you take no prisoners and give no quarter (or cent or dime, for that matter).
I love it.
It's funny, I am from UK where it is the other way round. The christian is the minority. Most christians here are either over 70 or foreign.
i simply tell people "i don't believe in god" when i'm asked to say something about religion.
if they reply with something like "why?", i usually answer with a smile "do you believe in santa claus? no? why?" :)
I just say Im not a religious person and leave it at that. I got a lot of growing to do im not ballsy enough to just out right say i am an atheist. Which is ridiculous I know but most days I dont want to hear people's opinions let alone if they are going to be judgmental towards me. But people will judge, this I know.. it's just life. But I also now we need to let it be heard so it wont be so "taboo" or else people will always scrunch their faces up about it.
Generally, when I hear a religious assertion, I reply with a firm: 'I don't believe in that'. Seems to do the trick.
I generally say "I dont believe in magic".
I just say it. In this town most people are quick to say they believe in God or that there is something out there that they think exists. Last two replies when I said I'm an atheist. One, you are christian anyway because you are a good person. Two, I can accept that.
I don't even say the word atheist. I simply tell them that I don't bother with 'belief' when there is certainty to be found in so many other aspects of life. Admittedly, most of the time this isn't the most tactical way to go about the conversation but I'm tired of dancing around my honest feelings for the sake of their ego. If the person is genuinely interested and not just prodding the topic so they could spew their doctrine, then I try and use softer language but still maintain the same position. I also often quote Sam Harris and say that I don't have to label myself atheist to their god the same way they don't have to claim atheism to Zues or Horus.
Well said, Holden; you reminded me that I often say I'm not a believer.
About your "...dancing around my honest feelings for the sake of their ego." I'm often tactless enough to say "...for the sake of their too-frail ego."
