Keeping with that question I'd say you were right but for two ensuing questions after:Originally Posted by Clete
1) is time a container or is time rather a mathematical understanding (or both)?
And considering: 2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
(Have an Augustinian question also regarding philosophy and theology, that came to mind here but I'll ask it after some more of this initial discussion).
2) Is God's time the same as man's time? This verse (among others) suggests transcendence to me. In the same way we lose understanding of God's existence outside of time, we also lose him outside of gravity and space if I remember the discussions about this. Having an eternal God without beginning is already a time connundrum to His existence. Eternity past is already a challenge to our logical ability to grasp and ascertain. We are constrained to think and experience in linear time, but consider for a moment Apocalyptic literature. Certainly it is imagery, but John does see a preplay of future events. If you see a vision of the future doesn't this mean God translated John there? If God is constrained by time as it's suggested, how would this be possible?

A space probe crashes in the desert. Something deadly on board wipes out almost the entire population of a small town. The government instigates an emergency protocol and top scientists gather at a secret underground quarantine facility to contain this killer germ from outer space.
Will they be able to save the planet from disaster?
To find out, read Michael Crichton's Andromeda Strain – an adventure with heroic scientists. This terrifying tale of alien microbes, bringing instantaneous death to (almost) every living creature they come into contact with, was published weeks before the first Apollo lunar landing. But Nasa had already predicted this worst-case scenario of bringing back material from another world.
On their return to Earth, the Apollo 11 astronauts were locked away in a converted Airstream caravan - the Mobile Quarantine Facility. Lunar rocks and soil were sealed in bags and only opened in airtight laboratories. Even the Apollo capsule was wiped with bleach to destroy any stray Moon bugs. In retrospect, these precautions look rather quaint and the whole rigmarole was abandoned after Apollo 14, when scientists concluded that the Moon was completely devoid of life.
But now, 40 years on, Nasa is dusting down those quarantine procedures for a new challenge: returning rocks from Mars.
A so-called Mars sample return mission is the next step in the exploration of the red planet, coming between the existing rover missions, such as Curiosity, and future human exploration. It may also, finally, answer one of the biggest questions about Mars: is there life?
"The Curiosity rover does not have the instruments to answer the 'are we alone' question by itself," says David Beaty, chief scientist for Nasa's Mars Exploration Directorate at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "All it can do is understand the environment. Testing for 'is there evidence of life?' requires another mission and the best way to do that is by collecting samples and returning them to Earth."
Popping out for coffee
The reason scientists favour a sample return mission is that they do not know exactly what they are looking for. Martian life could come in many different guises and using equipment designed to detect life on Earth, may not pick it up on Mars. Nasa could design another rover, equipped with all sorts of life-hunting instrumentation, only to find it is taking the wrong measurements with the wrong detectors.
"If you have the wrong experiment on your rover, you can't modify that," says Beaty's Mars programme colleague, Deborah Bass. "If you bring samples back, you have all the power of Earth's laboratories at your disposal."
But it won't be easy. Although robotic sample return missions have been attempted before, they have had varying degrees of success. The first, Luna 16, landed on the Moon in 1970 and brought the Soviet Union back its own lunar rocks. In 2004, Nasa's Genesis mission returned to Earth after capturing particles blown from the Sun. Unfortunately, the spacecraft's parachutes failed to open and it smashed into the Utah desert spilling its contents. Nasa had more luck in 2006 with its Stardust mission to a comet but things did not go so well for the 2010 Japanese Hayabusa mission, which returned to Earth after landing on an asteroid. It only managed to capture a few dust particles, as projectiles designed to blast fragments from the surface failed to fire. No mission has yet returned samples from another planet.
Still, the good news is that they do not need to collect much. Whereas Apollo brought back several hundred kilos of rocks, soil and dust, Beaty reckons he would be happy with 20 Mars samples of some 15g to 20g each – between 300g and 400 g in total. Or, to put it another way, "what would fit in a coffee cup".
Although as you can imagine, adds Bass, there is a little more to it than that. "If we just go to a random location on Mars and started tossing things into a coffee cup, it's unlikely we would find what we are looking for."
Plans for a sample return mission are still on the drawing board but most envisage a spacecraft landing a rover (or even several small rovers) in an area where life might have hung out. Probably a place where there used to be flowing water. Once safely on the ground, the rover will trundle off to collect soil or rock from a number of key sites, digging or drilling into the Martian dirt. It will then return to the lander to load its samples into a coffee-cup-sized capsule. So far, so straightforward – and certainly achievable with existing robotic technology.
The most crucial part of the mission, the sample return stage, is a lot harder. Nasa's current concept employs a rocket – built into the lander – to launch the capsule from the Martian surface into Mars orbit. Here, it docks with a mothership. This spacecraft then fires its engines and heads back towards Earth. As the sample return spacecraft approaches our planet, it will use parachutes to survive a 50,000 km/s (30,000 mph) plummet and descend gently to the ground (or sea) for recovery.
Mission planners are well aware that docking with a spacecraft while in orbit around another planet has never been attempted before nor has bringing that spacecraft back to Earth. But assuming all goes to plan, the idea is that the samples will be recovered from the capsule and whisked away into a "secure containment facility."
The technology being looked at for this laboratory is based on existing secure biological or nuclear facilities, incorporating the lessons learnt from Apollo. The aim of quarantine is not only to prevent any risk from Mars germs – and some horrible Andromeda Strain scenario – but the contamination of Mars samples by Earth microbes. Although the chances of the sample containing a deadly bug are almost certainly miniscule, the consequences of any release are potentially serious. What if there really was a deadly bug on Mars? However remote the possibility, we would be foolhardy to rule it out. It is therefore essential that, unlike the Stardust mission, the container survives its return.
The mission's success is also vital for Nasa's plans beyond sample return: a human mission to Mars, currently slated for 2033.
"Mars sample return has a second very important purpose: to demonstrate a rocket that can leave Mars," Beaty explains. "If you can't demonstrate you can return a rock from Mars, how can you believe you can return a human?

Mindy McCready Remembered at Nashville Memorial Service
(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) -- Former country star Mindy McCready was remembered with a small memorial service in Nashville Wednesday evening.
A little more than a hundred friends, family members and music industry colleagues gathered at The Cathedral of the Incarnation near Music Row to share music and memories of McCready, who took her life on Feb. 17 after years of public struggle.
Though McCready was celebrated by one childhood friend, Tristan White, as, "a woman who stole the show and was the life of the party," the demons that ultimately led to her suicide couldn't be ignored.
White read a letter from McCready's father, Tim McCready, who was too emotional to attend the service.
In the letter, he remembered his daughter's talents but lamented her poor life choices. He also stressed that his daughter's two young sons were her love, and that she was in love with her late fiancé David Wilson.
Wilson was found dead in January in the same Arkansas home where Mindy took her life. Wilson's death is still under investigation.
McCready's friend and former label mate Lorrie Morgan remembered their camaraderie back in the '90s. Morgan spoke of the music and heartache she and McCready had in common and said she always "felt young and had fun" with McCready at their record label parties.
Morgan also spoke of the sadness McCready always had in her eyes. She wondered aloud if anything could have really made McCready happy, and closed by saying, "There's a special place for her star above, and it will always be there and it will never burn out."
Lorrie Morgan also sang "Ave Maria" at the service. A '90s hitmaker, Bryan White, and McCready's friend Bekka Bramlett performed too. McCready's recording of the Garth Brooks hit "The Dance" was played to close the service.
McCready's funeral was held last week in her hometown of Fort Myers, Fla.
Her mother, Gayle Inge, attended both the funeral and Wednesday's memorial service.

Unemployed or underemployed homeowners may be able to avoid foreclosure with help from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development program, a University of Missouri Extension family financial education specialist says.
The Emergency Homeowner Loan Program (EHLP) provides a forgivable bridge loan of up to $50,000 to pay mortgage, tax and insurance bills for up to two years, said Rebecca J. Travnichek. Eligibility requirements for the program include being unemployed or underemployed due to job loss or a serious medical condition and being at least 90 days behind on mortgage payments.
Unemployed or underemployed homeowners affected by the current flooding in northwest Missouri, if they meet EHLP guidelines, may qualify for this program, Travnichek said.
"I strongly recommend visiting with an EHLP counselor to be sure you meet the requirements for the program," Travnichek said. "EHLP housing counselors are trained to help you."

A silicon virtual prototype is key in achieving design closure
A silicon virtual prototype is key in achieving design closure
By Richard Gordon, Executive Vice President, Tera Systems, Inc., Campbell, Calif., EE Times
August 19, 2002 (10:35 a.m. EST)
URL: http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20020814S0039
The silicon virtual prototype (SVP) emerged as one of the strongest themes from this year's Design Automation Conference in New Orleans. SVP terminology has been widely adopted by the EDA industry, and at last count, three distinct tool categories - electronic-system level (ESL), register-transfer level (RTL), and gate level tools - claim ownership to the term. Each category uses its own concept and implementation of the SVP to do useful work, but the RTL SVP alone holds the key to dramatic improvements in SoC design closure. To understand this, consider first the features and benefits of the various SVPs.
Essentially, the ESL SVP defines a reference platform that enables system-level software development before any hardware is implemented. With an ESL SVP, designers can identify the interface between software and hardware before cycle-accurate RTL is written, enabling early hardware/software co-design. Unlike the ESL SVP, the RTL and gate-level SVPs both model a chip's physical implementation, which is crucial for deep submicron (DSM) design.
The RTL SVP is a physical model of a chip based on pre-characterized RTL structural elements. It gives RTL designers the earliest possible visibility into whether their chip will meet area, timing, and power targets for a specific DSM process technology. By integrating the RTL SVP into an interactive analysis environment, designers can pinpoint RTL and constraints that cause downstream timing or layout problems. Since RTL quality impacts a chip's final implementation quality, early detection of RTL code that causes downstream gate-level problems is a high-return activity.
The gate-level SVP provides a finer-grained, more accurate physical model of the chip as compared to the RTL SVP, but at a cost: turnaround times are significantly longer and designers need to have significant layout expertise. Starting from a gate netlist, the gate-level SVP lets designers layout clock-tree and power-bus top ologies as well as produce gate-level placements and other implementation details needed to get layout-accurate timing and area information. Coupled tightly with a gate-level physical synthesis tool, the gate-level SVP provides the floor plan and parasitic information needed to accelerate gate-level design closure with placed gates.
So which one of these SVPs is the "real" SVP? The greatest value comes from leveraging all three in an integrated flow. Because the ESL SVP has no physical data, ESL tools must generate RTL to enable an RTL-SVP-based analysis. Using the RTL SVP to identify micro-architecture inefficiencies, RTL designers can anticipate and avoid downstream gate-level timing and layout problems without getting tied up in the intricacies of a gate-level floor planner. The hierarchy partitions, timing budgets, and floor plan constraints from the RTL SVP are then fed forward as initial conditions to the gate-level SVP. This improved starting point for gate-level implementation eliminates unn ecessary, costly iterations. Should the gate-level SVP indicate that design objectives cannot be met, regardless of the physical floor plan, the gate-level SVP feeds back its physical placement information to the RTL SVP for further RTL analysis. This automated top-down bottom-up flow is actually a methodology that has been followed successfully for years, albeit manually, by designers of high-performance chips.
Experience by our customers has shown that employing RTL SVPs is a breakthrough because of its higher-level design abstraction. It yields increased design capacity, turnaround time, and a simpler analysis environment compared to the gate-level SVP. Waiting until a design is elaborated to the gate level before detecting RTL inefficiencies or improper constraints requires significantly more effort because of the increased design and analysis complexity. When design closure is obtained with the RTL SVP, handoff to gate-level implementation can be done with greater confidence. This is just one r eason why Gary Smith of Gartner/Dataquest has stated, "the silicon virtual prototype is the key that unlocks the future of design, and the world of EDA will never be the same."

No news is good news to me, and that's not a good attitude either. I could have a B12 deficiency and I'd never know it.
In a way, I feel like some of our lives have been changed forever due to our BFS. In my case, it has made me so fearful of the disease that we all fear, and has made me so horrified at the reality that this disease exists. But, it's also made me fearful of all health issues. I wish so badly that I had never started twitching. But, at the same time, I'm so grateful that 15 months into this, I'm still okay. A year ago, I wasn't so sure I would be...
I'm also so grateful for this forum, because we have all found each other and can be there to support each other. Because one thing I have learned is that no friend, family member, etc., quite "gets" this. Some are more patient than others, but really, we are so lucky to have each other.

In addition, your symptoms match thousands of people whoe have passed through this great forum and their stories also prove that what you have, although very bothersome, is benign. Based on what doctor Miller told you, would you agree that after 14 months, and all the clinical exams and emg's you were given, that if you were ever given a diagnosis of MND, that you would be the first case he has ever seen like you? If so, then I don't think what he told you was so bold.

Friday night October 11
Opening response and confession of sin
The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth.
Brief silence
Most merciful God,
we confess to you,
before the whole company of heaven and one another,
that we have sinned in thought, word and deed
and in what we have failed to do.
Forgive us our sins,
heal us by your Spirit
and raise us to new life in Christ. Amen.
Favor us, Lord, and deliver us.
Lord, come quickly and help us.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
Depth of Mercy! Can there Be
Charles Wesley
Depth of mercy! Can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear,
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
I have long withstood his grace,
Long provoked him to his face,
Would not hearken to his calls,
Grieved him by a thousand falls.
Kindled his relentings are:
Me he now delights to spare;
Cries, "How shall I give thee up?"
Lets the lifted thunder drop.
There for me the Savior stands,
Shows his wounds and spreads his hands.
God is Love; I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps, and loves me still.
The Word of God
Psalm 139:1-18
Examine me, God! Look at my heart!
Lord, you have examined me.
You know me.
You know when I sit down and when I stand up.
Even from far away, you comprehend my plans.
You study my traveling and resting.
You are thoroughly familiar with all my ways.
There isn't a word on my tongue, Lord,
that you don't already know completely.
You surround me—front and back.
You put your hand on me.
That kind of knowledge is too much for me;
it's so high above me that I can't fathom it.
Where could I go to get away from your spirit?
Where could I go to escape your presence?
If I went up to heaven, you would be there.
If I went down to the grave, you would be there too!
If I could fly on the wings of dawn,
stopping to rest only on the far side of the ocean—
even there your hand would guide me;
even there your strong hand would hold me tight!
If I said, "The darkness will definitely hide me;
the light will become night around me,"
even then the darkness isn't too dark for you!
Nighttime would shine bright as day,
because darkness is the same as light to you!
You are the one who created my innermost parts;
you knit me together while I was still in my mother's womb.
I give thanks to you that I was marvelously set apart.
Your works are wonderful—I know that very well.
My bones weren't hidden from you
when I was being put together in a secret place,
when I was being woven together in the deep parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my embryo,
and on your scroll every day was written that was being formed for me,
before any one of them had yet happened.
God, your plans are incomprehensible to me!
Their total number is countless!
If I tried to count them—they outnumber grains of sand!
If I came to the very end—I'd still be with you.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
Examine me, God! Look at my heart!
Psalm prayer
Creator God,
may every breath we take be for your glory,
may every footstep show you as our way,
that, trusting in your presence in this world,
we may, beyond this life, still be with you
where you are alive and reign
forever and ever.
Scripture reading
1 Thessalonians 5:9-10
God didn't intend for us to suffer his wrath but rather to possess salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with him.
Lord, I entrust my spirit into your hands.
Lord, I entrust my spirit into your hands.
For you, Lord, God of faithfulness—
you have saved me.
I entrust my spirit into your hands.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
Lord, I entrust my spirit into your hands.
Watch me with the very pupil of your eye!
Hide me in the protection of your wings.
Silence may be kept.
Gospel canticle
The Nunc Dimittis (Song of Simeon)
Save us, O Lord, while waking, and guard us while sleeping, that awake we may watch with Christ and asleep may rest in peace.
Now, master, let your servant go in peace according to your word,
because my eyes have seen your salvation.
You prepared this salvation in the presence of all peoples.
It's a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and a glory for your people Israel.
Luke 2:29-32
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
Save us, O Lord, while waking, and guard us while sleeping, that awake we may watch with Christ and asleep may rest in peace.
Brief silence.
Thanksgiving and intercession
Open prayer is offered.
Silence may be kept.
Visit this place, O Lord, we pray,
and drive far from it the snares of the enemy;
may your holy angels dwell with us and guard us in peace,
and may your blessing be always upon us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We will lie down and fall asleep in peace
because you alone, Lord, let us live in safety.
Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
for the night is at hand and the day is now past.
As the night watch looks for the morning,
so do we look for you, O Christ.
The Lord bless us and protect us.
The Lord make his face shine on us and be gracious to us.
The Lord lift up his face to us and grant us peace.

Effect of hydrotherapy on quality of life, functional capacity and sleep quality in patients with fibromyalgia.
– Source: Revista Brasileira de Reumatologia, November/December 2012
By Kyara Morgana Oliveira Moura Silva, et al.
INTRODUCTION: Fibromyalgia affects 8% of the population over the age of 40 years, and 75% of the patients with fibromyalgia have poor sleep quality.
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of hydrotherapy on the physical function and sleep quality of patients with fibromyalgia. [There are many different types of hydrotherapy. For this study, hydrotherapy consisted of exercise in a warm indoor pool.]
METHODS: Patients were under clinical care at the UNASP Outpatient Clinic. This study assessed 60 female patients with fibromyalgia aged between 30 and 65 years. Out of the 60 patients assessed, 20 were excluded and 10 left the study because they could not comply with the time schedule.
All patients completed the following questionnaires: Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ); Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Training sessions were performed twice a week for two months, each session lasting 60 minutes.
RESULTS: Patients' mean age was 45 years, 66% were active workers, and 34% had quit work. Right after the hydrotherapy program, the patients improved the following aspects assessed by use of the FIQ:
physical function,
work absenteeism,
ability to do job,
pain intensity,
morning tiredness,
stiffness (P < 0.0001),
anxiety (P = 0,0013),
and depression (P < 0.0001).
Sleep quality (P < 0.0001) and daytime sleepiness (P = 0.0003) also improved.
CONCLUSION: Hydrotherapy improves sleep quality, physical function, professional status, psychological disorders and physical symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia.

Lunden Souza: Fitness
Lunden Souza: Moving toward health, fitness goals requires making changes
When it comes to your lifestyle and making improvements in your fitness, change is definitely required.
Now, for some people, change can be scary. It can be hard to adapt to something new, and the fear of failure can often overpower the desire to change. In my experience, change requires making some adjustments, but change is amazing.
Change requires you to dig deep into your being to develop a mental and even physical strength that you perhaps never knew existed or never took the time to unleash.
For those who do not know, I recently moved to Austria.
Talk about change. Will there be food that I like? What if I need something that I cannot get? What if I get homesick? Do the yoga instructors speak English? Can I find the shampoo that I like? How will I get around? Will I ever be able to speak German fluently? Will I be able to maintain the same workout schedule that I am used to? Will people like me?
So many different questions were racing through my head over the past month that I thought my brain would explode before I even got on the plane.
Then, one day, a friend sent me this quote: "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new." This changed everything.
Who cares about all those questions that keep running through by head. The questions I was asking myself were things, which if fulfilled easily, would make me comfortable.
But without stepping out of my comfort zone, this move would not really change me; it would frustrate me and discourage me.
Change is about taking what you have learned and using it to get to that next level. Change is about letting go of what is comfortable and opening up to learning new ways, new habits and new patterns.
When setting your fitness and health goals, you will notice that to reach them, you have to change what is comfortable, be open to learning new things and be prepared for uplifting moments as well as moments of despair.
Nothing worth doing comes easily. Perhaps you don't enjoy waking up early, but – looking at your busy schedule – it is really the only time you are able to fit in a workout. Then make that change.
Maybe you really love your fast-food breakfast sandwich every morning because the drive-thru is right next to work and you like to sleep in as much as possible rather than taking time to make a nutritious homemade breakfast. Make that change.
Maybe you are intimidated by going to the gym or afraid you will not know what to do in a group exercise class. Make that change.
Making changes in your life is not easy. There will be times when you feel like you are on top of the world and others when you feel like you just fell on concrete from the highest building in the world.
But, like that quote says, don't waste your time looking back and dwelling on the old way – the way you are used to.
Step out of your comfort zone one baby step at a time. Allow yourself to get to the top, reach your goals and be proud of yourself once you accomplish them.
No matter how big or small your goal, one step in that direction is closer than you were before.

Mary Sidney
the Mary Sidney Society
The authorship of the works attributed to William Shakespeare has been questioned for centuries, including during his lifetime. This debate has been growing in importance in recent years. Please join us in looking at the possibility that these incandescent works were actually written by a remarkable and well-educated woman who was at the forefront of the literary world in Elizabethan and Jacobean England.
The Mary Sidney Society is an educational and literary organization founded on the premise that
Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke,
wrote the works attributed to William Shakespeare.
To this end, the Mary Sidney Society is dedicated to supporting research about and promoting widespread interest in the life and work of Mary Sidney and her relationship to the plays and sonnets.
We also encourage reading and exploration of the Shakespearean works themselves.
The Mary Sidney Society is a federally recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Even As Copyright Trolls' Legal Strategy Appears To Be Failing, The Shakedowns Are Working
from the profitability... deptWe've noted that most of the judges handling the various mass infringement file sharing cases have been tossing most of the defendants, questioning the legal basis for lumping so many into a single lawsuit. And, yet, even with such failures, it turns out that the business is quite profitable (for now). Two separate articles about two of the lawyers in this game (and it is a game, rather than any sort of serious legal pursuit) demonstrate that.
The first, as highlighted by TorrentFreak is a profile about Evan Stone, the junior lawyer who has had a particularly hard time getting anyone in the legal community to take his cases seriously. This is the same Evan Stone who may be facing sanctions for his ethically dubious action of sending subpoenas to ISPs and getting names of account holders despite a court not allowing those subpoenas. Stone then responded with a ridiculously petulant filing to the court, and has since dropped most, if not all, of his cases -- though, he claims some indie film producers have signed up and he's gearing up to move forward. I would suggest that if any of those indie film producers read this, they might want to seek out a more competent lawyer who doesn't resort to insulting the court after he's called on a potentially serious ethics violation.
That said, it's not difficult to understand why he wanted to send out the subpoenas and get the names. Even though all of his cases have ended in failure, the article notes that approximately 40% of those who receive the threat letters settle... and Stone gets to keep 45% of the settlement money. That adds up. Even if you assume that the 40% settlement rate is inflated (it comes from Stone himself), he's making money on these questionable legal pursuits. All of his talk about "hating" file sharers in the article is for show. He's profiting from scaring people who don't want to go to court into paying up.
Similarly, Ars Technica has an article highlighting the voicemails left by another lawyer playing this game, John Steele, for the people he's sent legal threat letters to. And, of course, it becomes quite clear that the entire point of this strategy is to get paid. The voicemails repeatedly ask about the settlement or refer to the settlement and point out how it would be easier and cheaper to settle than to fight this in court. Amusingly, they leave out all of the difficulty Steele has had in getting a court to actually move forward with these lawsuits. Still, money is being made:
One can get a sense of how many settlements are being racked up by looking through Steele's various court dockets. Occasionally, he will voluntarily dismiss a batch of IP addresses from a suit without apparent reason; these appear to be people who have settled. In his Future Blue v. Does 1-300 lawsuit, for instance, Steele last week withdrew his claims against 15 IP addresses. If each one settled at $2,900 apiece, that's $43,500--not King Midas money, but hardly chump change, either.Of course, this is also why these lawyers are getting more and more annoyed about the courts potentially cutting them off from such an easy cash generating venture (shaking down people is so much fun). In that profile on Stone, he claims that he may have figured out a way to get around having to actually go to court first:
He's hard at work on his latest strategy, one that'll help him fly a little below the radar on his pirate hunt: a subpoena provision in the Copyright Act that he's hoping will let him track down names and addresses without having to sue anyone first.I imagine that would be news to the RIAA who already tried that and got shot down handily in court in the famous RIAA v. Verizon case. Of course, given his other mistakes, I guess it's no surprise that Stone apparently is unfamiliar with the case law on the matter.

Nice is both a summer resort, with seven kilometres of beach and the 'Promenade des Anglais', and a cosmopolitan city with year-round festivals and activities. From gastronomic French restaurants to the Carnival in February, there is something for everyone. The centre of Nice can be divided in several areas with individual characteristics that represent the full spectrum of what this city can offer. Most are within short walking distance from the beach and the Old Town.
The Promenade des Anglais runs along the seafront between the airport and the 'Chateau on the Hill'. Open views of the clear blue Mediterranean Sea and the superb quality of the apartments on offer make this one of the most in-demand area in Nice. Originally built by the English aristocracy, it has retained its allure and is now the most expensive and prestigious addresses in town.
Cimiez, Fabron and Mont Boron are the three hills surrounding Nice and each have their own unique appeal. Cimiez is upper-class Bourgeois living, with beautiful Belle Epoque buildings and Roman ruins with an annual Jazz Festival. Fabron is very family-friendly with secure residences and swimming pools, tennis courts and sea views. Mont Boron is the Hollywood Hills of Nice, where the likes of Elton John and international bankers keep luxury properties. Magnificent sea views and unrivalled privacy are the main attractions.
The Carre d'Or is one of the most chic areas in Nice, with designer shops and pampered poodles galore. Proximity to the beach and the atmosphere along the pedestrian area make this area the most popular,while the nearby Quartier Musiciens appeals to buyers looking for that dream apartment in a traditional French building. Just west of the Carre d'Or area is the Quartier des Fleurs, which is similar to the Quartier Musiciens, but closer to the beach and quieter? There is a vast range of architectural styles available in the Quartier des Fleurs, from modern residences to the original Belle Epoque.
The Port combines traditional Nicoise culture and luxury yachts and restaurants. On the Port front, properties with sea views command similar price tags to the Promenade des Anglais, while the back streets have local cuisine, shops and architecture. Central Nice is a predominantly French area, off the tourist trail but nonetheless appealing to those who want to be in the centre and have the opportunity to practice French.
Nice's historic Old Town is a medieval village characterised by narrow, winding streets and bustling with activity. Every second business is a restaurant in the Vieux Nice, with great quality local produce and Provencal recipes. At night, revellers flock to the many bars serving both French and international clientele until the early hours.
Whichever area of Nice you choose; glorious sunshine, gastronomic restaurants and the unique French quality of life are yours to be experienced. Let Chez Riviera guide you in finding your perfect property from which you can enjoy this wonderful city.

The Clippers had a balanced scoring attack seeing four players reach double figures. Ivory Sneed 16, Hampton Mack and Floyd Higgins each tallied 14 and Zach Armstrong netted 13. Mack led the team in rebounds with 10. The Clipper point guards combined for 12 assists, 8 by David Mendez and 4 by Will Lewis.
The Clippers have 2 scrimmage dates before returning to countable games on Friday, November 11th at Maine Fort Kent.

The deepest positions in free agency this offseason: Defensive end, cornerback and the offensive line. Tight end is the shallowest (with quarterback and linebacker not far behind).
Jimmy Graham, the top overall potential free agent on the market, was hit with franchise tag by the Saints. The Baltimore Ravens re-signed Dennis Pitta before free agency started. The rest of the options at the position are injury risks or borderline starters. Let's take a look:
Medical concern
1. Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers
Finley is coming off spinal fusion surgery and his future in football is not guaranteed. But his agent has said there is a "99.9 percent" chance Finley will recover fully, and we can only evaluate Finley as if he'll return to the field. His medical evaluations will decide his value.
While there will be an extra layer of risk involved with any Finley contract, we expect plenty of teams to be interested on a short-term deal with incentives. He has a chance to be the biggest difference-making receiver available at any position this offseason.
Borderline starters
2. Brandon Pettigrew, Detroit Lions
3. Dustin Keller, Miami Dolphins
4. Garrett Graham, Houston Texans
5. Scott Chandler, Buffalo Bills
6. Jeff Cumberland, New York Jets (UPDATE: Re-signed with Jets.)
7. Brandon Myers, New York Giants
Pettigrew has plenty of drops over the years, but he's competent in pass protection and has averaged more than 60 catches over the last four years with 67 starts. ... Keller is coming off a gruesome injury that included a complete tear of his knee ligaments in addition to a dislocation. If he can get healthy, he's the most natural receiver in this group. ... Chandler is a league-average starter who can cover up a roster hole for a year. ... Graham has the highest ceiling of this group, while Cumberland was quietly solid for the Jets.
Should stay in the NFL
Ed Dickson, Andrew Quarless, Tony Scheffler and Michael Hoomanawanui.
Also available
Kellen Winslow, Anthony McCoy, Dallas Clark, Kellen Davis and Ben Hartsock.
|Like this year's draft class, the 2014 free-agent crop is deep and talented. Take a look at the top remaining 25 NFL free agents.
Teams with a need
Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, New York Giants, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Swinging for the fences: Jermichael Finley
Teams with salary cap space should be looking for one-year deals that can improve an offense in the short term. Finley qualifies. Would you rather overpay for midlevel free agents or take a swing at a difference-maker? Finley has to check out medically before anything can happen. No team is going to put Finley at risk of serious injury, but he's worth a shot if cleared.
Best chance to breakout: Garrett Graham
Perhaps Graham will follow in James Casey's footsteps as a surprisingly well-paid free-agent target. Graham had a 136-yard game against Oakland and an eight-catch outing against Jacksonville in Week 14 before hurting his hamstring. He can catch passes up the seam and occasionally get vertical.

The Jets have made their first cuts of training camp, sending out 7 Junior-age players, 2 tryouts, and 1 pro. We'll talk about who, why, and where they are headed inside.
The List
Re-assigned are:
- Lukas Sutter, 39th overall 2012
- Nic Petan, 43rd overall 2013
- Eric Comrie, 59th overall, 2013
- Scott Kosmachuk, 70th overall, 2012
- Jimmy Lodge, 84th overall, 2013
- Jan Kostalek, 114th overall, 2013
- Ryan Olsen, 160th overall, 2012
- Mitchell Theoret (Tryout), 185th overall, 2011 (by NYI)
- Axel Blomqvist (Tryout), Not Drafted
- Zach Bell (to St John's), Not Drafted
Though none of these players were expected to make the team, there are a few small surprises, especially in light of who remains in camp.
The Story
As an October birthday with four seasons of WHL service, Lukas Sutter is eligible to play in the AHL this year. The team has not signed him to a professional contract, and being sent out with the junior players in the first round of cuts is not a promising message for the former second round pick. He had poor results at the Young Stars camp, despite a plum assignment on the wing of Mark Scheifele. Sutter has had his conditioning questioned during his Junior years, but now goes to Red Deer to play under Uncle Brent. Brent Sutter is known for his strict adherence to fitness, so the year may do him well. If not, the Jets may elect to not offer him a contract, and Lukas could see himself skating in another team's camp come 2014.
Nic Petan and his dazzling skill was an extreme long shot to make the Jets this season, so it comes as no surprise to see him sent back to the WHL. Still, I thought me might hang around a little longer after his pre-season performance against Washington. He will look to build off of his 120-point season with the Winterhawks last season, and will almost certainly be a key addition to Canada's World Junior team. Expect Petan to make a bit more of a push to make the team next season when Jokinen's contract has ended, but the Jets are making smart, long term, developmental decisions right now.
A hopeful goalie of the future for the Jets, Eric Comrie was only given one game in the Young Stars tournament to show his stuff. He has talent and incredible athleticism, but is far from NHL ready. I am surprised that he didn't get any preseason action, but with the number of goalies in Jets camp, it makes sense he got trimmed. It might sound silly to say about a goalie, but he needs to build on his very thin, almost fragile looking frame, and likely has more physical maturing to do over the next year. Comrie will also be competing for a spot on Canada's Junior team this winter, which will undoubtedly provide him some valuable experience.
Scott Kosmachuk's skill has been on display since the start of rookie camp – even scoring a goal in the Jets first preseason game on Saturday night – but he still has a few too many flaws in his game. He was visibly frustrated at times during the Young Stars tournament and another year or two in the OHL won't hurt. Still needs to fill out, and can build on his point-per-game season with the Guelph Storm.
Jets Nation was excited to see new Jet Jimmy Lodge, but unfortunately he was unable to play a game due to injury. He's an obvious cut, but it's always tough for a young man to walk away without making an impression. He's rail-thin and has a limited Junior resume to date, so we'll watch his progress in Saginaw this year.
What can we say about Jan Kostalek – a terrific showing at the Young Stars tournament, one of the best Jets in their pre-season contest against Ottawa, and already well ahead of his 4th round pedigree. When playing with Sol, drove offence and took chances at the offensive blue line. Playing with Kichton, he played the role of a defensive defenceman. Showed off a very complete, mature game for an 18 year old with limited strength. Needs to add weight to continue his open-ice hitting at the NHL level, and needs to show he has more offence at the Junior level after a disappointing year in the boxcars with Rimouski. Has pro defenceman written all over him, though, and may make more noise one year from now.
Ryan Olsen certainly looked better than his draft ranking at rookie camp, but keeps being given an up-hill battle on this team. Has good size and speed, showed some hands on top of a willingness to be physical. Had a huge jump in his offence moving to the Kelowna Rockets last season, and the question will be whether he can repeat in his draft +2 season.
Which brings us to tryouts Axel Blomqvist and Mitchell Theoret. Theoret led the Jets prospects in goals in Penticton this year, but our own Kevin McCartney was not flattering in his reports on him – calling his scoring opportunistic and criticisizing his mobility and awareness. After an unremarkable four years in Junior, Theoret enters his final year with the Barrie Colts with a lot of 'Needs to improve' written on his scouting card. Blomqvist, however, was the youngest player on the Jets prospect team and showed well. He used his size and reach effectively, had slow feet but not impossibly slow. Kevin McCartney keeps comparing him to Dustin Penner, so maybe he's destined to be under-appreciated. Look for him to be drafted next season as an over-ager.
The strangest cut from camp has to be Zach Bell – the first pro to be sent away. He has a very raw game and needs to add a lot to his mobility, but makes contact well and has NHL size at just 20 years of age. Given that ECHL regular Cody Sol and pre-season game-one goat Ben Chiarot remain in camp, it can't be a good sign for Bell, who seems to have earned the status of low man on the pole.
The Jets still have 48 in camp, and likely send out another round of cuts before Thursday's game against Minnesota.

11 free things (really!) to do at Disney World
It would be crazy to visit Disney World and not enter any of its theme parks. And with one-day tickets for peak season dates rising to $129, it's going to cost you dearly. But if you know where to look, the vast resort offers a number of free activities beyond the parks that can help make your vacation memorable without putting a dent in your travel budget. Here are some wonderful things to do at Disney World, all for nada:
1. See Fireworks – You don't have to be inside the parks to catch the nightly pyrotechnics. Some of the best spots for the Magic Kingdom show are the Ticket and Transportation Center, the beaches at the Polynesian Village or Grand Floridian resorts, or the bridge between Disney's Contemporary Resort and Bay Lake Tower. You'd have to spring for dinner at the California Grill atop the Contemporary Resort (and it ain't cheap), but it's a great spot to see the fireworks — and hear them via the piped-in soundtrack. For a limited view of Epcot's Illuminations, go to the beach at the Beach Club Resort or the bridge between Epcot and Disney's BoardWalk.
2. See the Electrical Water Pageant – Sort of a mini, floating Main Street Electrical Parade, you can see the 15-minute nightly presentation from the resorts that ring the Magic Kingdom, including the Wilderness Lodge and the Grand Floridian Resort.
3. Take a Tour – You don't have to be a hotel guest to take the complementary guided tours that some Disney World resorts offer. For example, Wonders of the Lodge is a one-hour exploration of the art and architecture of the Wilderness Lodge. While you are there, be sure to see Disney's version of Old Faithful, which erupts every hour.

The Animal Kingdom Lodge offers three tours: Cultural representatives share their insight about the hotel and its influences in the African-Inspired, Disney-Designed tour; guests who take the brief Sanaa Cultural Tour can see the attractive restaurant and get a small sample of its African and Indian menu; and for more freebie food, try the resort's Culinary Tour and savor items from the restaurants, Boma and Jiko.
4. See Animals – Speaking of the Animal Kingdom Lodge, exotic animals including giraffes and zebras roam the savannah outside the hotel's lobby. Or visit the horses that work at the Magic Kingdom in their home at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch, near Fort Wilderness.
5. Catch a Movie – Weather permitting, most Disney World hotels offer free outdoor screenings every night. As a bonus (more free food!), some also feature campfires with complimentary marshmallows to roast or fixings to make s'mores. Double bonus: At Fort Wilderness, you could see a flick, enjoy s'mores, join in a sing-along, and meet characters – all for nothing – at Chip 'N Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long.
6. Ride a Monorail – How often do you get to cruise around on a sleek monorail? Wind your way through Future World aboard the Epcot monorail. Or take the Magic Kingdom monorail, and stop to check out the hotels along the route such as the Polynesian Village Resort.
7. Ride a Boat – There are a number of free water taxis to board, including ones that ply the rivers connecting Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and nearby hotels as well as ones that ferry from Disney Springs to resorts in that corner of Disney World.
8. Visit the Disney Wilderness Preserve – The Disney Wilderness Preserve isn't located on Disney World's property, but it is nearby in Kissimmee. See native animals and plants and hike along the preserve's trails.
9. Learn to Draw – An artist teaches children how to sketch Disney characters in classes offered at the aptly named Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
10. Listen to Music – Depending on when you visit the lovely lobby of the Grand Floridian Resort, a jazz band or a pianist may serenade you.
11. Travel back to the airport – It's not much fun to head home, and you'll have to pay the airfare. But if you are staying at a Disney World resort, you can print your boarding pass and check your luggage at the hotel, and then take Disney's complimentary Magical Express bus to the airport.

Harris is a decent bowler, gets a bit of turn and whenever I've seen him he's generally been tidy and hasn't offered much in the way of free runs.
His role has in most cases has been to block up & end given he is an accurate bowler. But too many times batsmen give him wickets, i remember KP & Symonds playing some awful shots to get out to him & a few others as well.
Besides, i give Harris credit for the attitudes batsman take to him in the same way that Warne should be credited for making batsman play him in awe. Everything about Harris just screams "incompetent", from his horrid bleached hairdo to his ridiculously inept batting style to his inadequate-looking action with no front arm (although aesthetics aside, it's actually a pretty efficient one). Then you throw a few fielding gaffes into the mix and the guy just seems like a clown.
All of which makes Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Symonds think "i'll be hitting this bell-end over long-on" and gifts the man big wickets. Once you get over the fact that Harris looks dire it's evident that he's actually a pretty good bowler.
Yeah there's always a handful of people too quick to judge on cosmetics, and Harris is going to be one of those most spectacularly understimated by such types. Harris is a perfectly OK bowler, as several have said. No worse than Pat Symcox or Nicky Boje, the two fingerspinners to have extended spells in South Africa's Test team post-readmission. And considerably better than Paul Adams.

Harris has a role in the South Africa side, and he does it well because he's a decent bowler. Given the right conditions he can pose problems, but if opposition batsmen want to have brain explosions and gift him wickets then that's up to them.
Uppercut put it quite nicely actually. If Warne is bowling beautifully, getting a bit of drift, landing it on a perfect length 6 balls out of 6 and ripping it, no batsman in his right mind would dream of giving him the charge. It's the same with any bowler, you play the ball and not the man.
I think that to a large extent, England's fortunes will depend on how well Graeme Swann bowls to the Australian left handers. In his short career so far he has excelled at bowling against left handed batsmen and has bagged a number of high class batsmen. He has the control and variation to cause them problems if and it's a big if the pitches offer some turn. We are due a hot summer by English standards so fingers crossed he can get the job done.
I'm guessing he will take 22 wickets at 28's - including one match winning performance.
"The best of 'em today is half as good as Barnie." - Wilfred Rhodes on SF Barnes
I think Swann will be key to any chance England possess.
If batsmen play him with controlled aggression, the pressure would back on the pace trio to take more wickets.
It's the result that determines the term, not the other way around.

That's pretty much exactly the point Will was making. Those who incite a certain reaction in the batsman - whether it be intimidation or contempt or whatever - have done so because of something off their own back. So thus, they deserve credit for it when it benefits them.
Equally, batsmen who are able to be strong-willed enough to play the ball and not the man tend to come rather closer to competing on terms.

I'm just now learning to take your blog posts with a grain of salt, or maybe more than that ("Sleeve Boy") and now I've got to figure out whether the race really started with a competition for a rosy pink meat sandwich. I don't know, Velouria, I don't know.ReplyDelete
Oh cool. Pro tip: get as close to the staging area as possible with a long lens. Look for the shivering tiny Spaniards and Italians out of their element.ReplyDelete
You only get a couple shots max as the peloton speeds by. Best to position on the steepest gradient, set cam to max frame rate. They'll be flying by even then, so watch out.Replies
They're closing down the roads, so unless you're press on a motorbike once you pick a spot that's it; very limited snapping opportunities. Still considering whether to go to Belfast for the start the day before in addition, to see the skinny shiverers up close.Delete
It's all about the pageant, Belfast sounds like fun. Never thought I'd type those words.Delete
Well as your tweet stream is coincident with the topic at hand -->Delete
I see our friend Jan has changed his public stance on racing. Makes you wonder why he was so strongly anti-it before. No, it doesn't really. Poor timing though, whatwith pro cycling's currently unpopular opinion with the general public. Timing is everything.

I immensely enjoy watching bike races!! The people the bikes the energy, all make me wish I could do those things though, sadly, I only commute and travel via bike. Still, if one enjoys bikes it's not surprising they find themselves also enjoying these big events.ReplyDeleteReplies
Different strokes for different folks I guess.Delete
I have been quite involved with bikes since elementary school. But after a brief stint of club racing at university, I've not paid a bit of attention to racing.
This indifference has its professional drawbacks though. With the proliferation of sports channels on basic and premium cable and satellite, cycle racing is more available to people otherwise not involved with bikes. When Giro and TDF roll along many colleagues at work aware I am that guy who commutes and vacations on bike make their way to my cube to discuss the latest twists and turns of the big event. I am pretty sure my polite nods and grunts as some elitist racing fan not acknowledging their recent acquired enthusiasm.
That's funny. In Europe bicycle racing is more commonly shown on "normal TV," so people here will sometime ask me what I thought of such and such a race last night. Usually I have no clue. "But you're a cyclist!" Hmm indeed.Delete
I become interested in racing when it is personally relevant. For instance, when someone I know is racing, or if the race is taking place nearby. This year the Giro is such an event.
If what they say are true, not one of them pink bikes will ever be stolen. Even if left outside a 7-11 unlocked for a month.....ReplyDelete

Giro 2014: Why do cycling's Grand Tours start in other countries?ReplyDelete
Looking forward to seeing it on closing stages as it passes nearby on way to Dublin city centre. Ironically there is news out there that some of the share bike stations near the finish will be closed. Showing again the gap of perception between cycling as sport (Giro & TDF) and cycling as transport (which many of us are more familiar with.ReplyDelete
Good luck with trying to get some pictures. It will all pass in a flash. Funny to see the shops around here decked out in pink bunting etc. No pinks bikes sighted yet. Hope the weather holds up over the weekend.

I do like that the leader gets to wear a pink jersey! It's the epitome of the notion that real men do what they bloody well want to.ReplyDelete
However, I do believe that the race was started by the Italian sporting newspaper La Gazetta della Sport which has been printed on pink paper from the get go. they introduced the Maglia Rosa in 1931.
Sorry to be such a glumbunny but we computer geeks can get quite obsessive about facts.

Just heard a report about the Giro on PRI's The World radio show. http://www.pri.org/stories/2014-05-08/why-theyre-dyeing-local-sheep-pink-giro-ditalia-gets-underwayReplyDelete
The sheep are dyed with a mixture of beetroot juice and hair dye (according to the Guardian) so it should wash out sooner or later (probably sooner knowing the Irish weather).ReplyDelete
Having been to all the Grand Departs in the British Isles I'd say concentrate on enjoying the crowds and the atmosphere, enjoy the closed roads afterwards, and get yourself to a pub to watch the finish in good company. Any pictures you take of the actual riders will likely be disappointing and distract from the experience itself.
