Also stuff.
(rode six of the last seven days. i define a ride as an hour and a half on the bike, minimum)
I believe the clouds in my coffee more than the weatherman on t.v.
So an hour and 29 minutes wouldn't count?
Also, do trainer rides count?
Trainer rides just suck. They only happen around here if I'm getting really stir crazy. I'd rather go trail run int he muck/rain or snowshoe with the dog if those options are available. Streaming South Park episode viewing makes them somewhat less un-palatable, however.

- I'm riding the trainer 3 nights a week; run 3.5-4.5 miles 3-4 days/week. I need a larger library. I like Earthed, NWD, etc, but . . .
Spinning has had an unexpected benefit - - my running is back down in the high-7-minute miles.
- Up to putting the DH bike on a diet. Just ordered an 11-26 PG950 cassette. Pretty pedestrian but, dang, a bolt-on 100+g savings of unsprung weight

Yes, been reading some fantasy stuff..The Black Company sequel from Glen Cook.
Most technical discussions seem to either get ignored or quickly turn off-topic. The only other things are indeed people asking which bike to buy, or long-time members having random discussions which new members have no way or desire to enter.
Maybe it's the season?
I got to ride yesterday for about 45 minutes before it got dark, but it had been a week since I rode before that .
That's almost shorts and t-shirt weather! At that temp I have a thin zip up fleece over a t-shirt and thin long underwear underneath hiking pants. The only important part is gloves (XC ski gloves are cheap and work well) and wool socks if your feet get cold easily. Ear warmers are nice too. Bring an extra layer in a camelback.
Road biking is a different story, but if you mountain bike over rough terrain in the woods you're working hard and not going very fast, so you produce plenty of your own heat.
Get out there and try it! The worse that happens is you get cold and turn around.
Broken until next season
did everyone stop riding mountain bikes?
what is everyone up to lately?
Family time. Changing all the old wall outlets in the house. Fix-it stuff around the house. Making up treasure hunts for the kids. Teaching the kids how to swing a hammer, wield some glue, paint, operate basic hand tools. (assuming they'll end up with some "modern man" someday that doesn't know the diff between a pipe wrench and a crescent wrench)
anyone reading any good books?
Still riding, actually just added night rides to the schedule.
Riding or looking at bike porn.
Only read threads in bike forums.
Hey, if you have a pipe wrench and a big enough hammer, do you need any other tools?

My top layers are pretty good with a few nike thermo shirts (which I love) and a decent quality windbreaker.
Everything is fine and dandy coming up. My main problems have been my toes losing feeling on the way down and my hydro pack water tube freezing. I'm not sure how to fix the toe problem (it is mainly my lead right toes, but the left get fairly cold too), but I think one of those insulating hose covers may keep my water from freezing.

Kind of. I don't have a lot of free time during the semester & I have to split it between time with family/friends, the gym, longboarding, mountain biking, & occasionally relaxing for the sake of my sanity. Lately longboarding is winning out, as it can be done on any paved road anywhere.
what is everyone up to lately?
A little bit of all of the above, a lot of work & school.
anyone reading any good books?
World War Z [Max Brooks], The Visisble Man [Chuck Klosterman], Lamb [Christopher Moore] to name a few of the better ones as of late. Just started The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

it's been to cold and rainy here to ride much but i was able to get out today finally. i got fired from my job monday so it's been kind of a crazy week. today i found out how much unemployment will pay, not nearly enough to cover my bills so i;m hoping the job interview i had yesterday will pan out for me. other than that i've been lifting weights like a beast, and i have a yoga class tonight. i wish i never had to work, unemployment should pay double what i was making at my job, not the other way around!

Freeze/thaw cycle has been going on daily since who-knows-when. Kind of keeps you off the trails unless you get out early. This weekend is supposed to be below freezing so I plan on riding some trails.

Hawaiian Bamboo Jade Sea Salt
(Medium) - No. 57
Island of Hawaii
Finishing, Table & Cooking - Sea Salt, All Natural
Hawaiian Bamboo Jade Sea Salt
This jade green salt combines the best of Hawaii and Chinese herbal medicine. Certified organic bamboo-leaf extract, prized in southern China as a health aid is infused into the pure white Hawaiian sea salt, yielding a savory finishing salt with abundant amino acids, antioxidants and vitamins.
This salt will add that extra touch to all types of Asian cuisine such as stir-fry and soups, or use with your favorite pork, chicken, or beef dishes. Beautiful in a salt dip, sprinkled on vegetables or crudités. Try on the rim of your favorite cocktail..
About the Salt
Commercial table salt contains approximately 99% sodium chloride. A scientific analysis performed on the Molokai "whole salt" harvested by traditional methods contained only 84% sodium chloride, a distinct health benefit. The remaining 16% was comprised of some 80 natural elements, electrolytes, and trace minerals that imparted the salt's exceptional taste qualities.
Research evolved into a vision: to create a new, high-technology company able to produce the world's finest gourmet sea salts in commercial quantities, laying the foundation for a unique, micro-economic business model for Molokai residents.
In the Hawaiian language, "kai" means "ocean," the source of life, so the fledgling company was named Hawaii Kai - with a mission to produce an incomparable suite of ocean-based products, bringing to the world the essence of the source.

Last Name and possible move?
Ok, do we know that Muriel is a Weasley? She seems to make several snide remarks about the family during her appearance in the Deathly Hallows, so possibly not. Either way, I don't think its shown that she's a Prewett either, like the article suggests.
I propose a move to simply Muriel until confirmation is made. - Cavalier One 07:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Where is it mentioned thatYaxley is a nephew of Muriel? --Rodolphus 14:52, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's not. An Anon is speculating, and I'm removing. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 15:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
She's DEFINITELY not a Weasley; she's MOLLY'S aunt, and Molly is a PREWETT by birth. As well as this, Muriel says "You Weasleys" and would say "WE Weasleys" if she was one. HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 00:54, August 20, 2012 (UTC)
Blood Status
I added that Muriel is most likely a pure-blood, based on her relation to at least two pureblood families, as well as the fact that she seems slightly prejudiced in that regards. Not Death-Eater-degree prejudiced, but slightly. Upon meeting Hermione, she immediately says, "Oh, is this the Muggle-born?" and then insults her (mind, she does the latter with everyone). She also includes Kendra Dumbledore's Muggle-born status in her tirade against the woman, rather unnecessarily. Her being a pure-blood was never confirmed, though, to my knowledge. Oread 05:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
There's no "most likely" about it; she IS a Pureblood; she's the aunt of Molly Weasley and thus must be Pureblood; if one of Muriel's parents was a muggleborn, or halfblood, then she, and in turn Molly, would be halfbloods. Molly is a Pureblood; Muriel is, without a doubt, a Pureblood. HarryPotterRules1 00:07, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
We know for a fact which side of the family she came from because Moody calls her Molly's auntie muriel, so she was definately called Prewett. –K.A.J•T•C•E• 11:43, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- How do we know that she is a Prewett she could have been Molly's mothers sister meaning that we dont know her last name. Me_Potter_Fan (Talk) 11:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Good point, that shut me up. –K.A.J•T•C•E• 12:10, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Great Aunt or Aunt?
Is there any possibility that Muriel could be Molly's Great-Aunt? Considering that the difference between their ages is about 60 years, it doesn't seem likely that Muriel is the sister of one of Molly's parents. //Carojen
You could be right. Doesn´t Molly refer to Muriel as great auntie while talking to Fleur in book 6?--Rodolphus 16:28, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yup. "Our Great-Auntie Muriel"; HBP, Scholastic ed., ch.29, p.623 Nick O'Demus 17:26, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- Muriel is Molly's aunt. Moody refers to Muriel's home as "Molly's Auntie Muriel's" in DH4. I believe that when Molly refers to Muriel as "Our Great Auntie Muriel" in HBP29, she is speaking from the perspective of her children, as it is a British practice to refer to family members as "our [whatever]." ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 09:46, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
I had heard somewhere that she was Molly's great-great-aunt, this is only what i had heard. --Danniesen June 14 2010 07:13
- Well, she's not. She's Molly's auntie, and Molly's children's great auntie. Jayden Matthews 09:39, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
Moody referring to her as Molly's Auntie doesn't necessarily prove a thing. The age difference would likely mean that she is Molly's Great-Aunt, and Ron and etc's Great-Grand Aunt; the children may simply call her great-auntie Muriel because it's easier to say than Great-Grandaunt. If Muriel is approximately 60 years older than Molly, Molly's parents would have been impossibly old to have children if Muriel was a sibling to one of them, even if said sibling was ten years younger than Muriel.Miraitrunks766 16:14, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
- People sometimes have children in their 40s or marry someone significantly older than themselves.
- If Muriel is the sister of Molly's father, then the two could have been around the same age, and Molly's father, like Nott, started a family with a much younger wife when he was in his 60s.
- Alternatively, if Molly's grandparents married right out of Hogwarts at 18 and immediately had Muriel c. 1890, then had Molly's father/mother c. 1910-1920 when they were between the ages of 38 and 48, Molly's father/mother would've ended up with a sister two decades or more his/her senior. Then Molly's father/mother could have waited until his/her 40s to have Molly, Gideon, and Fabian.
- Of course we don't know whether Muriel is Molly's aunt by blood or marriage. The possibility remains that she was married to the brother of Molly's father or mother and was some years older than him. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 19:14, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
There is a typo on the picture captioned "Harry Potter, Elphias Dodge and Aunt Mureil sitting at Bill and Fleur's wedding in 1997" I can't figure out how to edit the caption & save the change```` —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wonka2011 (talk • contribs).
- Fixed. Editing a caption is easy, simply find the image in edit mode, change the caption, and hit "Publish". Please always sign talk page entries using 4 tildes (~) and start a new section for new issues. -Shorty1982 15:14, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
Aunt by marriage?
I think Muriel might be an Aunt by marriage of Molly. Muriel is described as having "a beaky nose, red-rimmed, bloodshot eyes, and bony fingers."; Molly has none of these features. Molly's been described often enough. This to me, means that Muriel is an aunt by marriage, as Molly would have inherited the "beaky nose, red-rimmed, bloodshot eyes, and bony fingers" if Muriel was an aunt by blood, as one of Molly's parents (mother or father, we're not sure which side Muriel belongs to yet!) would have the "beaky nose, red-rimmed, bloodshot eyes, and bony fingers" too; Molly doesn't have them, thus her parents didn't, so Muriel is an aunt by MARRIAGE, and not blood, as at least ONE of those things would have passed to the sibling as well.
Do you agree?HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 01:01, August 20, 2012 (UTC)
- At the time Muriel is described in Deathly Hallows, she is 107, and all of her physical characteristics — "beaky nose, red-rimmed, bloodshot eyes, and bony fingers" — could very well be a product of her advanced age. Time isn't exactly kind to the human body. Even the "beaky nose" could be a result of aging. Nose shape can change dramatically because cartilage tends to break down/weaken as people grow old.
- Secondly, blood relatives don't always closely resemble each other, especially not when they're non-lineal. Molly could take strongly after one side of her family, and Muriel could be a blood aunt on the other side, e.g. Molly takes more after her father and Muriel is her mother's sister. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 08:19, August 20, 2012 (UTC)
Molly's Aunt
I know this has been brought up before, but I wanted to clarify.... Muriel is Molly's aunt, isn't she? J. K. Rowling has stated that Ginny was the eighth girl in the Weasley family for generations; Muriel would only be a generation above. Besides, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 Moody describes Muriel as Molly's aunt. --Don't forget: Elvendork! (It's unisex!) 17:37, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Muriel is Molly's aunt; I think this is categorically stated in the books. I'd just like to correct you, though: Muriel is two generations above Ginny (she's Ginny's great-aunt, so she'd be the same generation as her grandparents, one generation above Molly); also, Rowling does not say Ginny's the eight Weasley girl in generations: Rowling says that she made her the seventh of the Weasley kids based on "that old tradition of the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter and a seventh son of a seventh son" (she's speaking out-of-universe, here; she's explaining us why she wrote Ginny to be the seventh child -- you can see this, because Ginny is not the seventh daughter, she's the seventh child, as Molly and Arthur had no other six daughters we don't know of). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:48, March 21, 2013 (UTC)

text: X-COM: SG1 A Stargate/X-COM: EU fusion. 1. Jack O'Neill, Colonel of X-COM. 1st of March, 2016 . Escorting civilians is never good. It's even worse when you are escorting them to an alien planet via a stable wormhole device from ancient Egypt. For that extra special 'we are all going to die horribly' feeling that civilian can melt your brain with purple glowy magic powers from a hundred feet away. I absolutely refuse to call them psionics. I know it makes science folks like Carter sleep at night if we don't call it magic but at the end of the day it's magic. And when (formerly) crackpot archaeologists are running around with it on a mission to the unknown where we are not meant to shoot the aliens it irked me to have an untrained civilian with an extra deadly weapon tagging along. It wasn't that I hated Psionics as such - I was always glad to have Captain Carter melt some aliens brain from across the room with her magic power but at least she had the decency to still shoot an alien in the face with an alloy cannon occasionally. Jackson just used Psionics to get guest spots on talkshows. Still at least the Commander[1] let us take real guns with us. When I had first heard about Operation: Pharaoh[2] I had feared we'd have to take small and less intimidating guns with us. But the Commander was just as skeptical about 'peaceful first contact' as the rest of us and he'd authorised us to use whatever gear we wanted. That meant enough plasma rifles, alloy cannons and power armour to invade a third world country. That and a single friendly robot. Homer[3] was our S.H.I.V. and he had a very crude drawing of Homer Simpson his side. Still it was always nice to have a robot with a handy death ray around. By the time I'd finished my rather lengthy internal monologue we'd finished gearing up. SG-1, or Strike-3 as we'd formerly been known was one of XCOM's many strike teams and the first to become attached to the Stargate Program[4] and getting to be the 'one' team had me jumping for joy. Kawalsky was fiddling with the controls of his ghost armour, as he did before every mission. I'm not sure what he did to it but it seemed to work. My own preference was for titan armour, though that was due to the fact that my team was usually the ones clearing and recovering tech from crashed UFOs. Those things were just tight corridor after tight corridor and the extra protection the titan suit gave was worth it's weight in gold. The suit itself was actually also worth that much, so I tried not to damage it too badly or else the Commander would get... angry. I'd only seen the normally unflappable man get angry twice, and that was enough to convince me that the Commander deserved to be on the same 'do not piss off under any circumstances' list as the Incredible Hulk. Many deride the plasma rifle. Most of these people are adrenaline jockeys who worship the alloy cannon like it was some kind of god and believe that all other weapons are inferior and should bow down before the glorious master gun. While I admit that the alloy cannon is an extremely devastating weapon sometimes all you want a little finesse. Or just to not reduce anything in the immediate vicinity of your target to extremely small chunks of it's former self. Still we had a mission to complete, strange new worlds to explore all that jazz. I walked slowly along the base corridors, not stopping at our usual elevator. Strike-3's faithful sky ranger[5] had been replaced by a circle made from some unknown alien metal, six point seven metres in diametre. It was an almost solemn occasion as we walked towards an elevator guarded by two power armoured soldiers, one German the other British. The elevator ride down was also rather quiet, till Ramirez made a Simpsons reference. Rameriz was a good kid, our new heavy after our old one had died at the hands of an angry chryssalid. "Well it looks like we will once more head into certain death at the hands of angry aliens, so I'd just like to clear something up. If I don't make it none of you get my collection of Simpsons DVDs. They're going to Walter." If I hadn't lightened the mood I'd at least made them pretend to smile. But when even Kawalsky laughs at my jokes I think I've succeeded. We walked out of that elevator feeling a hell of a lot better about this mission than before. I think they were just sick of seeing endless Simpsons re-runs and had been hoping that they weren't in line to inherit all 612 episodes[6]. We arrived at the gate room with a few minutes to spare, the concrete walls and blast doors looking menacingly uninviting. I suppose the numerous weapon emplacements scattered around the room might have something to do with the menacing atmosphere but I maintained that it was mainly decor's fault. I saw Jackson first. He was standing uncomfortably in psi-armour with only a pistol and an enormous backpack, no doubt full of books. While I may not like the fact that an untrained civilian would be accompanying me into the alien infested unknown I didn't really hate Jackson. He had figured out how to work the Stargate and he came across as a really nice guy the few times I'd seen him on TV. We'd already been briefed and all that remained for us to do was depart through the Stargate. Commander Hammond stood near it with most of the senior XCOM staff, including the leader of Strike-1, a certain Colonel Makepeace. Smug bastard. Still it was touching of the Commander to see us off. The Stargate began to spin and we all heard it. "Chevron one encoded" "Chevron two encoded" "Chevron three encoded" "Chevron four encoded" "Chevron five encoded" "Chevron six encoded" This was the point when all the sensible people among SG-1 (everyone not Carter) looked appropriately frightened and awed. Carter just had that look in her eye. Her 'new alien tech' look - like a kid on christmas morning surveying his presents. He might know what they are but they're never quite real til he opens the wrapping paper. "Chevron seven is locked!" With a roar the unstable vortex lashed out and faded back to the rippling pool that was an activated Stargate. We walked up the ramp that led to the Stargate, the picture of confidence and. I think we all stopped for a second at the mouth of the wormhole, just putting our arms in and out of it. Then I gave Carter a firm push as she started babbling in her scientist language and we all stepped through the Stargate. And then landed flat on our faces in a dimly lit temple. __________________________ [1] - Really an American General, but the Council insisted that we only referred to him as Commander. [2] - No one ever said the people who name operations were all that creative [3] - Team leaders get to name S.H.I.V.s [4] - An offshot of XCOM at the time of it's inception late in the First Invasion of Earth the Stargate Program was to become XCOM's main post war focus. [5] - Of course XCOM has more than one Skyranger. Who would equip the planets first and last line of defence against the alien threat with only one transport? [6]- The Simpsons was still going strong in 2016 This is set post game for XCOM: EU and around the time of the movie for SG-1. While most of the Stargate galaxy is the one from the show some changes have been made.

Classic Journeys Founder Shares Travel Tips
Traveling the world can be slightly daunting, especially for the inexperienced traveler. To make things clearer, Edward Piegza, founder of Classic Journeys, came up with a list of some of the 10 most interesting traveling destinations with tips and little details to help you have an experience of a lifetime.
Take a glimpse at the list of traveling pointers below.
Machu Picchu – named one of the new Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, Machu Picchu is on everyone's bucket list. But most tourists go for a day visit or spend just one quick night at the site, which makes it very difficult to gain any real immersion into the history and culture.

Nausea. It feels like someone reached down my throat, grabbed my stomach and pulled it out through my mouth.
The Temodar is getting to me, finally. The first three of five straight days of 340 mg are fine, then the nausea hits on the fourth and lingers for a few extra days. Food seems absolutely repulsive. Any strong smell is like a poison gas.
Over the summer I took lower doses of Temodar without the nausea reliever Zofran. When the dose was upped to 250 mg, I learned (the hard way) to take a Zofran ahead of time. I'm taking it around the clock now, but still in the grip of this dreary, ill feeling.
Enter Marinol. My oncologist prescribed it for me last week to back up the Zofran. One of his assistants, in preparing the prescription, counseled me earnestly not to expect a "high". Like marijuana, Marinol's active ingredient is THC. (1) Rather than risk my health inhaling some pungent plant smoke under cover of darkness, I would ingest a medically necessary, socially acceptable and completely legal pink pill. (2)
It arrived at my local pharmacy Monday and my wife picked it up. That was day four of the Temodar. I felt unsettled and my appetite was nil, so I went to the fridge and took one. And guess what? After a few hours, I was high.
It'd been years since I had that kind of experience. My mind was swept up in a garish parade of thoughts and meta-thoughts, a peculiar but recognizable sensation. I felt compelled to write, and laughed at myself, suspecting my revelations were the same worn offerings I'd ignored when sober.
All in all, I prefer my normal frame of mind, though in contrast it seems inert and bundled. Fortunately, my appetite came back.
Tuesday morning I was not queasy, but had a headache. I rallied for an outing on the sailboard, took a Zofran while sitting on the board out in Casco Bay, then swallowed the last of the Temodar when I got back to the landing. The nasty feeling crept up again in the evening, though I was able to eat and avoided Marinol. I woke up twice during the night and beat back the nausea with will power.
But this morning was just wrong. I pushed myself through each tiny step of a mundane morning ritual and got my son to school. Later I napped and was able to stomach a pear.
At this point, I'm not sure which I prefer: sober nausea or stoned hunger.
- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000403/
This article explains the medicinal use of dronabinol (brand name: Marinol). Some enlightening excerpts:
Possible side effects include: "feeling like you are outside of your body, 'high' or elevated mood, hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist), sleepiness, strange or unusual thoughts".
Symptoms of overdose may include: "inappropriate happiness, sharper senses than usual, changed awareness of time, red eyes".
Would someone please let me know when it's appropriate to be happy? ↩
- http://www.justice.gov/dea/ongoing/marinol.html
This is a (rather snarky) illumination of the differences between Marinol and all other (illegal) THC vectors. It opens with this choice retort: "Medical marijuana already exists. It's called Marinol."
I appreciate Marinol's convenience and precise dosing. The cost, however, is ridiculous. On Oct. 20, 2011, Drugstore.com listed the price of 60 capsules of 2.5mg Marinol as $441.97. The illegal "bud" form of the drug is a fraction of that cost. (I would guess 5 to 10 percent for a similar dose). ↩

Center Greg Monroe posted career-highs of 24 points and 15
rebounds and guard Austin Freeman added 18 points to lead #15/13
Georgetown to a 72-65 victory over Butler in the Jimmy V Classic at
Madison Square Garden in New York on Tuesday (Dec. 8). It was
Butler's third loss in nine outings, all to teams ranked in
the "Top 25."
Monroe was dominant inside for Georgetown (7-0), but it was Freeman who may have done the most damage to Butler's hopes of springing an upset. The 6-3 junior hit five of seven shots in the game, including four of five from beyond the three-point arc, and added four of four from the free throw line.
"The hard part of defending Georgetown tonight was Freeman's proficiency," said Butler head coach Brad Stevens after the game. "Obviously, he was very good."
Freeman's sniping from the outside, opened things up inside for the 6-11 Monroe, and the Georgetown standout responded with a career night. He scored 14 points in the first half, and then held off Butler's comeback attempts with 10 more points in the final period.
"Monroe attempted more field goals than he has in the past. He was playing with a real authoritative spirit. He's a tough guy to guard," added Stevens. "Now if you told me that he would attempt 20 shots and 10 free throws and wind up with 24 points, that's not all bad. But we needed to do a better job with the perimeter guys."
The Bulldogs, playing away from Hinkle Fieldhouse for the seventh time this season, started slowly, falling behind, 5-0, in the first two minutes. But a three-point field goal by sophomore Gordon Hayward and a three-point play by sophomore Shelvin Mack gave Butler a 6-5 lead with four minutes gone.
Five straight points by Georgetown's Jason Clark put the Hoyas back on top by four, but the Bulldogs rallied again to take an 11-10 lead on two free throws by junior Matt Howard and another three-point field goal by Hayward.
Monroe then made his first field goal of the night to start a 10-0 Georgetown run, and the Hoyas never trailed again. Georgetown led by eight points at halftime, 39-31, and stretched it margin to as many as 17 points in the second half, before the Bulldogs battled back.
Trailing by 10 points with just over two minutes remaining, consecutive field goals by Mack and Hayward cut Georgetown's margin to six. Junior Zach Hahn, who came off the bench with 11 points, then followed a pair of free throws by Freeman with a three-point field goal to close the gap to five points, 67-62, with 0:46 left.
But the Hoyas made five consecutive free throws down the stretch to regain a double-figures lead, before Hayward's final three-pointer ended the scoring.
"I though we battled," pointed out Stevens. "You're supposed to play for 40 minutes, and I felt we played for 40 minutes."
Hayward led the Bulldogs with a season-high 24 points and eight rebounds, while Mack chipped in with 12 points. The Bulldogs shot just 27% in the second half and just 31% for the game.
"We have to get better. We have to get better as a basketball team. That being said, we've played a tough schedule, but it's not going to get any easier," added Stevens.
Next up for the Bulldogs is #13/15 Ohio State on Saturday, Dec. 12. That game will be nationally-televised on ESPN, starting at 12 noon at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

This dashboard presents information on possible questionable web content hosted on the network, and can assist in finding malicious web sites installed on the network.
For a given web server, active web application scanning is no guarantee that all hosted web sites will be found. There may be no links between two web sites hosted on the same web server. Similarly, scanning a network for all ports to look for web servers that may have been installed as part of a botnet is difficult to do in real time. Because of this, it's very common for malicious web servers to be set up on university, home user, and any type of large networks.
This dashboard presents all web servers passively detected on the network, as well as questionable content that the web servers might be hosting and trend lines for detected web sites that contain keywords not expected for the local network.
The dashboard and its components are available in the SecurityCenter Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets. The dashboard can be easily located in the SecurityCenter Feed under the category Monitoring.
The dashboard requirements are:
- SecurityCenter 4.8
- Nessus 5.2.7
- This dashboard requires "Full Text Search" to be enabled for each analyzed repository.
Listed below are the included components:
- Questionable Hosting - Detected Web Servers - This table presents all web servers passively detected on the network, including web servers detected by PVS plugins 1442 (detection of web servers that send a "Server:" string in their server response), 8166 (detection of web servers that do not send a "Server:" string in their server response), and 7034 (HTTP server vhost detection).
- Questionable Hosting - Questionable Content Hosted - This component presents indicators of possible questionable content hosted on web servers on the network, including hosting .ini files, torrent files, archive files (which might contain sensitive data), media files (which might be copyrighted), and malware, as well as linking to malicious content, and serving possibly malicious script and iFrame tags. A purple indicator means the questionable content was found; any questionable content should be further investigated. More information can be obtained by clicking on the specific indicator and viewing the detailed vulnerability list.
- Questionable Hosting - Responses to Queries for Questionable Domains - This chart presents detections of questionable domain name requests that web servers on the network have responded to over the last three months. The lines show answered domain name requests for URLs containing keywords related to money, porn, dating, game, sweepstakes, and party. Note that these keywords will not find all questionable domains and there may be a high false-positive rate. Keywords can be added or removed as needed in the series' filters. Domain groupings can also be added or removed as needed.

A website started earlier this year by the family of a boy stricken with a rare disease takes donated videogames and resells them, using the money to assist in finding cures for rare (or orphan) diseases.
GameZone details the story of DonateGames.org, which was launched by Jim Carol. Carol's undertaking began two years ago when his then 11-year-old son Taylor was diagnosed with Philadelphia Chromosome, a rare form of Leukemia. After uprooting his family and moving to Seattle in order to ensure Taylor had the best care possible, Carol became of aware of Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity and witnessed first-hand the positive effects videogames had on the afflicted youth, saying that games "played a big part in helping them get better."
Carol acknowledged that his road to embracing videogames was not a direct one:
I'm a 50-year-old pop and I wasn't a gamer. But I do believe in video-games, I don't think they are bad, I think they are wonderful for education. My contemporaries jump to conclusions right away and think they (video-games) caused Columbine, and that's just not the case. You will see, this year, a big part of what I'm going to be talking about in the media is that we need to change that opinion. Video-games are good and gamers are good, and they are benevolent, and they are kind and they are giving, caring people.
Carol also specifically called out HopeLab's game Re-mission as scientifically proven in its ability to speed recovery time in sick children. The game, aimed at young people with cancer, was financed by eBay founders Pierre and Pam Omidyar.
NC Soft, Electronic Arts, Valve, Telltale Games and Paradox Interactive are among the partners listed on the charity's website. The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences made a donation to the program as well. Donated games are eligible for a tax credit equal or greater to what would have been received if the game was traded in.

Esprit Park's Gorgeous Housing Development Ignites the Spark of the Dogpatch
By Sponsored Post on September 21, 2011 3:43 PM
It's no secret that the Dogpatch is one of the most up-and-coming neighborhoods in our dear city. Not long ago, the Dogpatch was a place people came to work–not necessarily a place to hang around, drink and eat. Now, it's the future home of Magnolia Pub's new brewery, Sutton Cellars' wine tasting venture, Michael Recchiuti's new cafe and a major revitalization of the Pier 70 area. That's not even considering all the delicious eateries and wine bars already packing the area.

|Version 1
|Song Suggestions
|Version 2
|Links to Song Lyric Sites
|Step 1--Have the
students clear everything off their desks. There
is also to be no talking at this time. Play the
song one time so that the students become
familiar with it.
|Step 2--Instruct
the students to listen for a message while you
play the song a second time. There is still no
writing or talking--only listening.
|Step 3--Have the
students get out pencil and paper. Instruct them
to write down any ideas about the message that
come to mind while they listen to the song a
third time. Again there is still no talking. It
is important for the students to develop their
own ideas.
|Step 4--Pass out a
copy of the lyrics to each student. Play the song
a fourth time while the students look at
the lyrics and record any additional ideas that
come to mind or clarify ones that are already
written down. Give the students ample time to
finish without talking to others.
|Step 5--Instruct
the students to write a paragraph (or essay)
explaining what they think the message of the
song is. As long as their opinion is based on the
lyrics of the song, there is no wrong answer.
|Step 6--Now have
the students share their opinions. Discuss the
different ideas, being sure to point out that
none are wrong.
Please note that some of the following songs have references to religion. I strongly advise that you read the lyrics very carefully before you use a song with your students.
At one time I had direct links to the lyrics for the songs listed below. However, the site that published the lyrics did so illegally. (Shame on them!)

The goalkeeping tandem of Jacki Kunze and Anna Kollmorgen sparked Waukee to a 1-0, shootout victory over West Des Moines Valley on Tuesday in Waukee.
With the win, the Warriors return to the state tournament for the third consecutive season.
Kunze started and made five saves in goal. Three of those were sudden-death stops in the second overtime, including two in the span of 43 seconds during a furious Valley attack.
"Coach Greg (Velasquez) tells me that if I do anything, don't let the ball go in the goal," said Kunze, who hadn't played the position since youth ball before starting last week in Waukee's 10-0 regional victory against Ottumwa. "That's what I did the whole time, just try to keep it out."
Kollmorgen took over in the shootout. Ellie Bunz, Rachel Muse, Hannah Cook and Hannah McDevitt converted on their opportunities to put Waukee up 4-2. Kollmorgen then lunged right and scooped up Valley's last chance, securing the Warriors' ticket to Cownie Soccer Complex in Des Moines and a 5:45 p.m. matchup with Linn-Mar (15-3) on Thursday.
"I'm super excited," Kollmorgen said. "It was a hard-fought game the whole time. We knew it was going to be a tough game and we just powered through."
Kollmorgen was mobbed in the goal box afterward by her teammates, who had made the sprint from midfield to begin the celebration.
"Even though it came down to a shootout, the girls were very composed and that was key," coach Tony Gabriel said. "Having that confidence and striking those balls, that was nice to see."
Gabriel said the two-goalie approach gave Waukee its best chance of winning. Waukee beat Valley twice in shootouts last year, including a regional final matchup, and a penalty-kick goal was the only scoring in a 1-0 Warrior victory earlier this season.
"Jacki and Anna both have good hands and both are athletic enough to do the job so we went with them both," Gabriel said. "Jacki gives us great confidence in the box, and Anna's a great force on the field."
Waukee held a 7-5 advantage in shots on goal. The Warriors spent much of the first half on their heels, staving off Tiger attacks. The roles were reversed in the second half.
The sixth-ranked Warriors will take on No. 5 Linn-Mar in the first round of the state tournament. The Lions beat Cedar Falls 5-2 to reach the tournament.
"We just have to play the best we can, and if something bad happens, just pick ourselves up and keep fighting through it," Kunze said.
The Warriors reached the 3A semifinals last year, and were the 2A runners-up in 2011.
"Our goals are to play our style of soccer and come away with a few wins," Gabriel said. "I've told these girls this is one of the toughest teams I've seen from Waukee. We have a great chance of taking state, we just have to bring it every day."

Sahren looked up to the man, literally, and figuratively from the new interest blooming onto the lines of her features, something fierce to them, a hunger that even nervousness and fear cant' quite contain.
"So much work to do…Y-yes, that I can see…So much work for you to do, and so much in your hands. I think you are just what we need to teach us, Sir. Now is not a time for lessons, for soft and steady exercises, not after last night…There is no time to learn, is there? There is only time to be shown how to prevail…A Mage has a path that only they can walk, so why worry about walking it with them, all you can do is show us how to survive until we each reach out destinations." There was a sad knowledge to her tone a certainty odd for one so young, though in trust she's so close to womanhood, childhood fading
Anrui took a long, slow breath.
"Hey," he says finally with a small smile. "I thought I was supposed to be the one consoling you here. Teacher to student and all that?"
Sahren blushed, a blaze of ruddy red blooming across her cheeks, teeth chewing her lower lip as she seems to shrink a foot into the pebbly sand, muttering away out to sea.
"S-sorry, I didn't m-mean to overstep any bounds…"
"Not at all," the Regulator said with a laugh, wrapping a protective arm around Sahren's shoulders. "It shows a kind of strength few of us ever bother to practice. Compassion."
Sahren stiffened against the surprise of his arm, then as if her whole body sighs she relaxes, a shiver running down the length of her body.
"You seemed as lost as any of us," she said, struggling for something to say. "It is easy to forget that Regulators are people, you all seem so calm and knowing. I saw my father cry, just once, when my brother died…It was a lesson I haven't forgotten Do you feel any better, at least?"
"Mostly," he nodded. "Though I'm still steamed that the Gault got in. And Moar…" A bewildered shake of the head. "I can't believe they sent the Chief of the Gault tribe. Must have been after someone specific to send that killer."
Sahren set her hand to the small of his back, a conciliatory rub, soft and unsure, her small hand a butterfly's wing of uncertainty.
"They will not have an easy time in future, Sir, I know you will be ready for them, and with your help we can be ready for them. Do you know who they were after…I am sorry to say I still get confused over who is who and who does what here."
"It'll get clear," he said with the vague certainty of one who's had the same trials. "But as to who the Gault were after… I can only guess. And guesswork is not productive."
He relaxed somewhat, finally, the singing of his ametrine bangle rippling to a halt. The man's nearly dead on his feet for lack of sleep, and it's beginning to show in his mood.
"I'll be leaving the Blackcards to Grale and Caspiain for a few days," he said distractedly, eyes glazed and forcing for focus. "Cas lost the majority of his class. Has some free time. And Grale is better with physical battle than I am."
Sahren let her arm drop, just looking at him, a little disappointment rippling her face but soon hidden.
"You will come back, won't you?" It was as close to a plea as she'd give in to, finally finding someone to talk to a coup. "Though, I'd say a little rest would go a long way for now…" The young farmgirl used to mothering it seems.
He nodded, raising his free hand to rub at his eyes.
"I'll be back, yes. I just need to make a jaunt up to Wyvern Lake, see how Morvran is doing up there with his. Bring him a note from the Accord. Shouldn't be more than five or six days, weather permitting." He smiled and gave Sahren's shoulder an affectionate squeeze before nodding, and heading down the beachfront, back toward the barracks. Five or six days yes, but only once he actually woke up. With the ache he's in for, that might double the trip.
She offers a weak smile, but it is a start, the worry lines of her features smoothing prettily as she watching him go
"Have a safe trip, Sir…" Her arms fold about her chest soon enough. The words soft and tremulously spoken as she turns back to the waves, watching dawn break higher over the sea, tired herself, but sleep a long way off, past all the clouds of her own thoughts and doubts, and the new hopes seeded by a single conversation.

Violent video games have been under fire in Germany following the horrific school shooting carried out by a 17-year old earlier this month.
But while some German political and law enforcement officials have called for bans on violent games, the Harvard Crimson urges the government not to rush a judgment against the medium.
Instead, suggests an editorial, political officials' efforts would be better channeled toward keeping real guns, not virtual ones, away from toubled youth:
Few crimes are more disturbing than violent murders at schools… In the aftermath [of the recent German rampage], a call has gone out to remove violent video games from store shelves. Banning video games or enforcing a blanket social restriction, however, is not the answer.
After a tragedy such as this, video games often receive immediate scrutiny… Studies may have found corollary evidence linking violent games to violent behavior, but… correlation does not equal causation, and there is no convincing evidence of a causal effect here. There are simply too many lurking variables—socially awkward teenagers may play violent video games, but so do many perfectly happy teens. We cannot prove that playing the games somehow morphs teens into serial killers.
Many people are concerned and look to lawmakers to respond. We must be reasonable, however, in our expectations. There will always be sociopaths and oddballs… We cannot hope to make every single person happy or non-violent. Exaggerating the link between video games and teen violence in this case smacks more of political ploy than effective measure…
More of the weight of such crimes must fall on the parents and others who leave such weapons in reach… Stricter penalties and regulations on gun sales could help keep such weapons out of troubled hands, but, as long as licensed guns are available, we must work harder to keep them secure.

Another fun fact is that Spies secured a podium in his 9th start, while riders from their homeland have not secured a single one in 253 attempts, encompassing more than 11 years, despite the best efforts of 15 different riders. Spies' current struggles may seem huge, but they really only amount to a single mole hill, when compared to the alps of their own failures. No championships in 35 years, no wins in 31 years, and no podiums in over 11 years, enough said.

It's the dark night of the soul in "The Monk," and we're not speaking figuratively here. A dark monastery and a dark cemetery, not to mention a dank dungeon and a shadow-shrouded bedchamber, are the places where dark deeds are done in this French-
language melodrama in which the title character is beset with terrible spiritual torments.
Set in 16th-
century Spain and based on an 18th-century novel that was quite notorious in its day for its treatment of sexual matters, "The Monk" is a picture packed with portents: roiling clouds, threatening statuary — falling gargoyle zone; look out below! — a mystery figure in a crimson cloak, another one in a mask.
Atmospheric and stylish, all of it. Director/co-writer Dominik Moll (Anne-Louise Trividic shares screenplay credit) certainly has an eye for the arresting image.
In the title role, a bearded, gaunt-looking Vincent Cassel is fairly restrained in his portrayal of a man steeped in righteousness and self-certainty. His monk is a charismatic preacher and sternly judgmental moralist who finds his certitude undermined by the devil's doings.

Moll's measured pacing at first gives the movie the feel of a serious-minded drama. But as the incidents mount up and the sins escalate in severity — beware that seductive succubus, thou mixed-up man of God — the picture's atmosphere of studied cool gives way to a fevered luridness. By the end,
"The Monk" has revealed itself to be a too-
predictable potboiler, served piping

What's Your Financial "Achilles Heel"
Posted By Jim On 05/14/2006 @ 4:32 pm In Frugal Living,Personal Finance,Shopping | 7 Comments
Achilles was one of the mightiest Greeks to fight in the Trojan War and was finally felled by Paris' arrow, guided by Apollo, when it struck him in the heel – hence the term, Achilles' Heel. But I'm not talking about mythology here, I'm talking money. Everyone has their financial Achilles' Heel… the one "thing" where money really is no object, when you let it all hang out, where you spend like there's no tomorrow because you've been eating cold cut sandwiches at lunch for the last six months to scrape a few cents together. Why do you buy the generic instead of the brand names? Most of us aren't saving for the sake of saving, we're saving for something. You're not saving money so your bank account can get a little bit larger, it's so you enjoy your "thing," that financial Achilles' Heel that you know will always get you every single time.
What's mine? It's when I go on vacation, I spend money on overpriced food, I spend money on overpriced trinkets, and I don't care. I'll spend weeks researching the best time to hop on a cruise but mere minutes to convince myself that I really need little plus Thing 1 and Thing 2s. I'll search for days waiting to pull the trigger on the the best flight down there, but seconds snapping up that enormous turkey leg I really don't need to eat. I'll spend the time to find the best price on getting me there, but once I'm there I'm a sucker for everything.
That's my financial Achilles' Heel — overspending on vacations. What's yours?

Honeysuckle Lonicera Major Wheeler
I have been doing a lot of research on climbing vines. My intent is to get full privacy coverage for a chain link fence separating me and a neighbour. So many vines are either invasive or have very thick & heavy woody stems requiring strong support. I've read that the Lonicera Sempervirens Major Wheeler is a great plant and I wonder if any Canadian gardeners can vouch for this claim. My particular concern is whether its woody stems grow to be very thick and heavy with the ability to distort a medium gauge link fence. Or, are its woody stems similar to say, a clematis. Does anyone have experience growing this honeysuckle?

BollywoodNewsWorld.com, Shahrukh Khan has the gift of the gab and is known for his wit and humour. He comes across as a "people's actor", shaking a leg with them at almost every event and his fans claim to know SRK inside out, but the superstar thinks otherwise.
"My life is not as open book, the way people consider it. When I come in front of you people, it is mostly work related. I feel that you people belong to the same business as me so the questions that you ask, I usually give a good and detailed answer to that," said SRK here at the unveiling of his official opus "King Khan – The Official Opus of Shahrukh Khan".
The actor, who has spent more than 23 years in the industry, says his only motto is to entertain the public.
"I have done so many films that it becomes difficult to find something new. I want that if people want to work with me, I should have something new to tell from the work that I have done. I want to continue entertaining people the way I have."
"I want to entertain the kids, the wives… I want to make films through which I can entertain the entire family for a few hours," he said.
The actor has been a hit ever since he made an appearance in the popular TV serial "Fauji" in 1988 and then "Circus". After his debut in Bollywood with "Deewana" in 1992, he never looked back.
Shah Rukh is currently busy promoting his latest film "Don 2: The King Is Back", co-produced by him, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani.
He is also co-producing "Student Of The Year" with Karan Johar. – IANS

Even though a lot of what I post here on GML recaps what's going on in my life, most of it does in fact slip through the cracks.
…like on Monday, how I spent the evening mourning the loss of one of the great television series of our time, Gossip Girl.
I won't spoil the ending for you but…it's good.
Tuesday was actually when I made that huge batch of cookies for our doormen. In return for doing all the baking, Erica made me quite the delicious dinner: brie and blackberry jam grilled cheese, tomato soup, and salad. I'd say it was an even trade.
On Wednesday I wrapped up some Christmas shopping and somehow ended up walking what must've been 4 miles. Jessi met up with me toward the end for what turned out to be my very first walk on the highline.
Then on Wednesday night a group of us went out to dinner at Eatery for Kim's birthday, followed by a stop at Hudson Lodge.
Yesterday – Thursday – Jessi and I co-hosted a party at BOW with our lovely friends Vikas, Vishal, Gabrielle and Abigail. the party was originally supposed to be on Halloween but got canceled due to Sandy, but last night more than made up for it.
Did i mention that Vikas also happens to be like, the best DJ ever? Because he is. And did I mention how much I love my friends? Because I doooo.
I guess that leaves us here on Friday. I'm very proud to say I managed to wake up super early and snag a 7am train to Pennsylvania.
It's all about priorities, people.
…and to me that meant a hair appointment so I could have fresh locks for the holidays. See? Priorities.
Tell me something fun/boring/strange about your week so far!

Okay so I think I'm starting to get how to make mountains with the bevel tool, though I cant seem to get them to blend in with the ground. I still also want to add some cities and such. Otherwise, here's some lore o_O
The mainland region of Lormwen has been under the control of the elves for the past 3000 years. Recently, within the past 300 years, humanity appeared from the west in massive ships, and established a naval empire on the islands of Tol Lona and Tol Andu. The elves, fearing invasion, have spent the past three centuries launching relentless assaults on these human nations.
10 years ago a rabbitoid race, known as the Tharan, began a series of their own assaults on the elven cities in the forests of Aurithorn and Sylverthorn. The elves were quickly overrun due to the Tharans' massive numbers, as well as the fact that most if the elvish military was on a campaign against the human empire.
With news of the Tharan invasion, the elvish navy abandoned the naval campaign and are now working on securing the grasslands and cities along the coast. However, in the confusion, the elves are no longer united, and have fragmented into the three elvish nations of Ceneluhn, Anduluhn, and Grathluhn.
At the moment, the Humans and the Tharan are coordinating efforts to bringdown elvish rule, and to enslave the elves for trade across the western sea.

America's favorite fruit is getting a makeover. For the first time since the Flavr Savr tomato back in the mid-90's, there might be GMO fruit available in your local produce department as early as 2014.
Okanagan Specialty Fruits (OSF) is hoping to release what they are calling the Arctic Apple in the US and Canada. But while most pro-GMO companies are fighting regulation for labeling their foods as being genetically modified, Okanagan Specialty Fruits hopes it will be a selling point to consumers, and plan to label all their apples with "Arctic Apple" stickers to differentiate them from conventional and organic apples. What's their angle?
These apples don't brown.
The short of the story behind these apples is that laboratory modifications are made to shut off the enzyme that produces browning when cell injury occurs in an apple – such as slicing, dropping/bruising, etc. The process for this modification is complex, creating this trait using an antibiotic and Agrobacterium found in tiny pieces of apple leaves. But the makers of the Arctic Apple state that "All of these elements are found in nature, and carefully put together by scientists with lots of initials after their names..".
Already at the top of the dirty dozen list (a list of produce which retains the highest amount of pesticide residue), apple consumption has gone down since the 1980's, from about 20 lbs per year to 16 lbs per year. Okanagan Specialty Fruits says they hope to bring these numbers back up with their GMO apples, claiming that apples are "for many people too big a commitment", and the non-browning affect will make the fruit more accessible, more long-lasting, and more versatile.
There is resistance for this apples to be approved for sale in the U.S. The Organic Advocacy Group argues that "There is no proof that Arctic Apples are harmless, but there is certainly reason to suspect that they may be harmful to humans, wildlife, and the soil environment."
Okanagan created a small library of videos on their website addressing all the health and environmental concerns it has been challenged with. They stand by the safety of their product, explaining that, while other GMO's are designed for the benefit of the farmer, such as built-in pest control, their product is different because it benefits the consumer, and they promise to preserve key nutrients in their apples, such as vitamin C.
Perhaps one of the largest concerns comes directly from apple farmers, and their concern is a big one. How will cross-contamination from bee's cross pollenating be prevented? Okanagan addresses this on their website, but not to the satisfaction of the leaders in the apple industry.
One point made in the conversation about whether there is a need for this kind of technology: what about tossing your apple slices in good old-fashioned lemon juice to prevent browning?
Surprisingly, genetically modified food does not require approval from the FDA to be sold in the U.S., however Okanagan has submitted data to the FDA for review.
What do you think about this new GMO apple?

Poverty levels remained relatively stable in 2006-2007, the report showed. Roughly 20.5% of Israeli families live below the poverty line in 2008, a slight increase from last year's 20%. Moreover, 24.7% of Israel's residents and 35.9% of its children live in impoverished families.
Families with multiple children appear to be hardest hit, with 60% of all families with four children or more living beneath the poverty line. Jerusalem and the outer periphery towns of the north and south appear to be hardest hit by poverty.
Minister of Labor and Social Welfare Eli Yishai (Shas) reacted to the Insurance Institute's report by saying that "Shas will not stay in a government that turns it back on our children. Even the National Insurance Institute has resolutely determined that increasing government stipends is the only way to end this vicious cycle of poverty. It is a shame that this is a perspective light years removed from other government ministries."
MK Shelly Yacimovich (Labor) said in reaction to the report that "the harshest statistic appearing in this report has to do with the working poor. This illustrates a gravitation of our market towards greedy contractors which employee individuals at below minimum wage and make employment statistics obsolete."
