UNC beats Ohio State:
Who's College Hoops' No. 1?
Ohio State lost at UNC last night in the most high-profile game of the new season. And after watching it, I'm convinced that the No. 1 team in the country is...
Ohio State. (Yes, even though they lost.)
Consider this one factor: Ohio State was playing without Greg Oden, who is not only their best player but who is also the most talented player in the country (if you believe players who are a lock to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft -- for three straight years -- qualifies one as "most talented.") Presumably, Oden, who was sitting on the bench, just got hungrier.
If the Buckeyes can keep up with full-strength UNC -- in Chapel Hill and without their own best player who doubles as potentially the most dominating player in the country -- I'd say that if the Top 25 is supposed to reflect previous performance plus future potential, the Buckeyes have a serious claim as the team to beat.
(Combine this game with the one that OSU will play in late December at Florida -- again without Oden -- and we'll have a great idea of the baseline that OSU is at compared to the elite teams before they add Oden into the mix.)
The game last night said more about the jaw-dropping potential for this Ohio State team next March than it did about UNC. In a rematch in the Final Four next spring on a neutral court with Oden at full strength, would anyone really want to pick against OSU?
More Quickie-style stuff coming later this morning...

Speaking of College Basketball let give some props to Jared Dudley of BC who 30 points and 10 Rebound pretty much carried BC to the win over Michigan State

Ok, thinking about that game I realize that Tyler Hansborogh(sp?) is one of my favorite players in college hoops. He reminds me of Kenyon Martin with his violent dunks and the way he plays with emotion on his sleeve.
I did the opposite cop-out on that. I could have easily comapred Hansborogh(sp?) to a random white power forward in the league (Troy Murphy?) but I really belive he most compares to Martin (sans the broken legs).
On that note however, is what Michael Irvin said the other day about an athletic white player having some black ancestry any worse than almost EVERY sports media member saying that white players are "scrappy, gritty, smart, tough, hard-working, etc" ?
I say no, at least with Irvin he was obviously joking and making (a poor attempt) at a compliment.
What the writers are saying is inherently racist in the fact that if only white players are considred scrappy and hard working it conversely means black players are lazy, don't have to work as hard and aren't as smart.
I think that's more damaging to the American sports scene than any (poor) joke about an athletic white player. - 11/30/2006 08:22:00 AM

I was very surprised by how well Ohio State played. The score ended up reflecting the double-digit loss I expected, but it was a much closer game than the score indicated. Heck, OSU did dominate the first half.
I think the downfall for OSU last night came down to two things (1) Hansborough finally getting some room inside (as did #34..I dont know his name) and (2) OSU's younger players kept going for the flashier, far more difficult shot as opposed to a jump shot or passing to an open teammate. That did a lot to slow down their offense in the 2nd half.
Still, great game. Will Oden make a huge difference? I think so. Either way, it'll be fun to watch. - 11/30/2006 08:26:00 AM

Live the by the 3...die by the 3...(please see OSU's 18 point loss to G'Town in last year's NCAA)
Also...Oden looks like he is 40 years old. Him, Lebron, and Freddy Adu...I want to meet all 3 of them and ask them what the 70's were like. - 11/30/2006 08:31:00 AM

Wow the Shanoff jinx is in full force for Florida this year. Shanoff is convinced that Florida can repeat as champs, because they return all the starters and role players.
NOW players are coming down with mononucleosis. I've had mono before and you can't have any physical contact for 3 months because of the potential damage to your liver and spleen, and you're severely fatigued in the following months afterward.
Anyone on Florida getting mono now will be medically cleared to come back in March, however they won't have the energy to fully compete. - 11/30/2006 08:44:00 AM

Thankfully, I watched the game at a bar with the volume turned off. That made it tons of fun.

"On that note however, is what Michael Irvin said the other day about an athletic white player having some black ancestry any worse than almost EVERY sports media member saying that white players are "scrappy, gritty, smart, tough, hard-working, etc" ? "
That's the same thing! They're saying black players are gifted and white players have to work harder to have the same success!!!
Everyone conveniently forgets that ESPN crucifies people like John Rocker and Kerry Collins, who don't get paid to talk, and lets millionaire co-host Michael Irvin off the hook completely, going so far as to use their liberal mouthpieces (Dan and Keith) to absolve him of blame.
How can ESPN say they have an ombudsman if they're actively covering things up, instead of reporting them? Isn't it obvious that the ombudsman must be crooked, too?
If Irvin had been white, Dan and Keith would have grilled him for 20 minutes about his racist views and it would be splattered all over the front page of ESPN like the world was ending, and roughly 1,200 black athletes would have commented about how racism still exists.
So where's Dungy's outrage? How is one form of racist comments ok, but not another?
This proves how hypocritical ESPN really is. They're all about the $. If black racism is ok, and white racism isn't, that's racism. They have lost all credibility in my eyes. - 11/30/2006 09:58:00 AM

@ solomonrex
liberal mouthpieces?
lol Isn't it the conservative mouthpieces who don't believe racism exists?
Just messin'.
Since Pete Rose, Charlie Hustle, and probably earlier...the image of the white athlete as being the scrappy, hard-worker has been ingrained in folk. It is stereotyping..is it racism? Dunno. Tehre are scrappy, hard working black players and there are fluid, talented white players. But those guys don't bring headlines.
Is it racism that you focus your anger and vitriol against Irvin...not against the Dickie V's that comment on 'scrappy white players' like Dan mentioned? :) - 11/30/2006 10:12:00 AM

Man, it would have been pretty clever if anybody had thought to put OSU at #1 preseason. Too bad nobody had the foresight.

I have to say I was very excited for the possibility that Greg Oden would be the first freshman in history to be a pre-season All-American, but clearly after the wrist injury that wasn't going to happen.
I watched Oden in High School and anyone who thinks that he won't be as good as they say is a moron (read: one of those people who said LeBron wouldn't live up to the hype).
OSU showed me that they are a real team without Oden which, to be honest, scares the livin' crap out of me. I thought they wouldn't be good till Oden showed up. The prospect of the outside shooting we saw last night from OSU combining with the dominating presence of Oden on the inside is staggering.
On a very important note: Dicky V said at one point during this game "I haven't seen This much talent on a college basketball court in a long time!" He might have said "baby", but I'm not sure. He didn't bother to explain why.
The answer is simple: They should be in the NBA. Seriously, I've seen a bunch of college games so far and there are so many guys that would have been drafted. But because of the NBA's stupid rule, we have to watch them play against inferior competition for at least a year.
People who say that LeBron would have been a great college player, but not the best ever, should watch this season. Imagine if the other High Schoolers had gone NBA that season but LeBron went to college (even scarier he was commited to AKRON). You remember LeBron's rookie year? Apply that to college competition. - 11/30/2006 11:20:00 AM

How did I know I'd wake up this morning after an impressive Carolina comeback only to hear Shanny find issue with the win. Get off Carolina's back. They won against the team that was put on the court. Don't tell me about potential. Every team has potential. I would have expected this if Florida had lost to Caroline (due to his affiliation)...but OSU? C'mon man! Give credit where credit is due!!!

UCLA should be #1 and will probably win it all since they no longer have Dan's favorite player (Farmar). Ohio State did look really good last night and with Oden in the line up they probably would have won that game. I thought they were a little overrated, but they proved that was untrue.
Side note on Dudley. The guy needs to come down with all of the anger on the court. It's old. Everyone knows you're good, so calm down a little. - 11/30/2006 12:56:00 PM

I'm a UNC grad and huge fan. So, I admit I am a bit biased. Greg Oden should have a significant impact on Ohio State's future success. However, to assume that Carolina will be the same team come March is absurd. Right now, UNC has a lot of work to do on defense. Also, yesterday was the first time they've had much perimeter shooting whatsoever. Roy will get all the kinks worked out by tourney time.
Ohio State's downfall last night was having a very shallow bench and a few too many early fouls. UNC ate up the zone defense in the second half. Even with Oden, Ohio State, or anyone for that matter, will not be as deep talent-wise as Carolina. But, as we all know, pure talent doesn't win national championships.
Irvin's comments are not comparable to an announcer calling white players "scrappy." If the announcer called a black player "scrappy" and continued to joke around about his having white ancestry. Then, it would be comparable and much, much worse. I'm very disappointed with the direction ESPN has taken. There's just too much of a monopoly situation in the media. - 11/30/2006 01:23:00 PM

Using potential as a basis for the rankings is exactly what gets this system screwed up. Not so much in college hoops, but in football.
Writers use the rankings to partly measure potential (or, in the case of the preseason, to completely measure potential). Then, the writers base each week's rankings off the last week's - meaning that the potential is still a factor. Then, at the end of the year, the rankings determine - not reflect, determine - how well a team fared over the season.
To summarize, a pretty important factor in a team's end-of-season ranking (which determines how well their season went) is what the voters thought their potential was during the preseason...which the team can't control. Summarized that way, it seems ludicrous, but it's the system we have. - 11/30/2006 03:07:00 PM

Come on Shanoff, I thought you were a Gator? And if you are, what makes you think they won't repeat??
They played like crap against Kansas throughout the first half.. and still almost won, in what was essentially a home game for Kansas.
Gators are still the champs until someone unseats them..

The Washington PostIt was not the life he had envisioned as a young man in the 1960s and '70s, when "people were more in tune with each other, people were more prone to help each other," said Turkaly, 63, who owned a camera shop and later worked at Sears. "There was not this big segregation between the poor and the rich. . . . I thought it was going to continue the same, I didn't think it was going to change."
It has long held true that elderly people have higher suicide rates than the overall population. But numbers released in May by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show a dramatic spike in suicides among middle-aged people, with the highest increases among men in their 50s, whose rate went up by nearly 50 percent to 30 per 100,000; and women in their early 60s, whose rate rose by nearly 60 percent (though it is still relatively low compared with men, at 7 in 100,000). The highest rates were among white and Native American and Alaskan men. In recent years, deaths by suicide has surpassed deaths by motor vehicle crashes.
As youths, boomers had higher suicide rates than earlier generations; the confluence of that with the fact that they are now beginning to grow old, when the risk traditionally goes up, has experts worried. The findings suggest that more suicide research and prevention should "address the needs of middle-aged persons," a CDC statement said.
There are no large-scale studies yet fleshing out the reasons behind the increase in boomer suicides. Part of it is likely tied to the recent economic downturn — financial recessions are in general associated with an uptick in suicides. But the trend started a decade before the 2008 recession, and psychologists and academics say it likely stems from a complex matrix of issues particular to a generation that vowed not to trust anyone older than 30 and who rocked out to lyrics such as, "I hope I die before I get old."
"We've been a pretty youth-oriented generation," said Bob Knight, professor of gerontology and psychology at the University of Southern California, who is also a baby boomer. "We haven't idealized growing up and getting mature in the same way that other cohorts have."
Even as they become grandparents and deal with normal signs of getting old, such as hearing and vision losses, many boomers are reluctant to accept the realities of aging, Knight said. To those growing up in the 1950s and '60s, America seemed to promise a limitless array of possibilities. The Great Depression and World War II were over; medical innovations such as the polio vaccine and antibiotics appeared to wipe out disease and disability; the birth-control pill sparked a sexual revolution. The economy was thriving, and as they came of age, boomers embraced new ways of living — as civil rights activists, as hippies, as feminists, as war protesters.

Instead, compared with their parents' generation, boomers have higher rates of obesity, prescription and illicit drug abuse, alcoholism, divorce, depression and mental disorders. As they age, many add to that list chronic illness, disabilities and the strains of caring for their parents and for adult children who still depend on them financially.
Perhaps a little more adversity in youth could have helped prepare them for the inevitable indignities of aging, Knight suggested, adding that "the earlier-born cohorts are sort of tougher in the face of stress." Despite the hardships of life in the first half of the 20th century, he said, older generations didn't have the same kind of concept of being stressed out.
Older generations also had clearer milestones for success. "They won the Great War, they saved the world," said David Jobes, a professor of psychology at Catholic University and a clinician at the Washington Psychological Centerin Friendship Heights.
Baby boomers, on the other hand, have struggled more with existential questions of purpose and meaning. Growing up in a post-Freudian society, they were raised with a new vocabulary of emotional awareness and an emphasis on self-actualization. But that did not necessarily translate into an increased ability to cope with difficult emotions — especially among men. Women tend to be better connected socially and share their feelings more freely — protective factors when looking at their risk for suicide. And African Americans and Hispanics tend to have lower rates of suicide than whites, possibly because of stronger community connections, or because of different expectations.
Combine high expectations with a faltering economy, and the risk goes up.
"We know that what men want to do is work — that's a very strong ethic for them," Arbore said. "When their jobs are being threatened, they see themselves as still needing to be in that role; they feel ashamed when they're not able to find another job, or when their home is being foreclosed on. . . . The idea that so many of us in this country have been brought up with — that you work hard, you get your house, you get your American dream, everything is rosy — it hasn't worked out. A lot of these boomers aren't going to earn as much money as their parents did. They aren't going to be as secure as their parents were. And that's quite troubling for the boomers."
Mike Murray of Rising Sun, Md., struggled with major depression for most of his adult years, even as he married, raised two children and owned a successful quarry maintenance and grass-mowing business.
His wife, Becky Murray, who ran the business with him, describes him as a perfectionist. "He always did well in school, he was a straight-A student; anything he did, he did well," she said.But in 2004 a back injury forced him to go on disability — and on powerful pain medications. In 2010 he made two attempts to overdose, and in early 2011, two days after his 49th birthday, he killed himself with a shotgun.
"He was handsome, he was smart, people loved him," Murray said, but added that he felt increasingly depressed. "The pain medication changes the chemicals in your brain, so he felt like there was less of him," she said. "He probably felt, here I am, this smart, capable person, but I can't conquer this thing in my mind."
And while he was grateful for his disability checks, she said, "It was very hard for him to accept this and to not contribute to his family."
Nor are women immune. When Liz Strand's 53-year-old friend killed herself two years ago in California, her house was underwater and needed repairs, she had a painful ankle that was exacerbated by being overweight, and although she had tried to find a partner, she was unmarried, like one-third of baby boomers.
"When everything started exploding on her it was too much for her," Strand said, adding that as a boomer she herself recalls the shock of realizing that the good times were not eternal. "I just thought everything was going to continue to improve. I remember hearing at one point in a college class that, 'No, it's a pendulum.' It was a real wake-up call."
Believers from an early age in the power of medicine, boomers are more likely than their elders to turn to drugs, alcohol or even plastic surgery to mask their problems. "Boomers do not want to suffer," Arbore said.
Exacerbating boomers' anxiety is a sense that the world is more treacherous than when they were young, he said. Then, the communist threat and the atom bomb loomed large, but they were distant and abstract; attacks like the ones on the World Trade Center and the Boston Marathon have changed this paradigm.
"These events used to happen 6,000 miles away; now they happen here," Arbore said.
It doesn't help to live in a society that continues to worship the young. "We don't venerate our elders as some cultures do," Jobes said.
It is unclear whether younger generations will follow or buck the boomer trend as they age, or if boomers will continue to kill themselves at such high rates as they move into retirement.
"There are people who believe that this won't hold true, that the baby boomers as they grow older will have some kind of protective effect," said Yeates Conwell, professor of psychiatry at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. "They have strength in numbers, they have quite a lot of political clout and by and large the financial resources of the baby boomers are quite high."
For Turkaly, the Pittsburgh man, it helps to know that statistics show he is not the only guy his age having a hard time.
"I guess it makes me feel better, 'cause I'm not quite as alone as I think I am," he said. "It's not just me; it's just the way things happened."

Drunken Reveler Flambes Self, News Runs Hilarious Reenactment
Everyone knows that smoking is hazardous to your health, but it turns out adding a whole lot of Tequila to the mix is even worse as an unlucky partier discovered in the wee hours of May 12th.
The incident occurred after 4:30am in a bar and restaurant on the third floor of a building in the Yuuraku district of Tokyo. The pub had closed for the night, but a half-dozen employees were joined by the 27-year-old manager of an establishment on the 7th floor for some after-hours partying. The rowdy bunch doused themselves in Tequila and Vodka while drinking the same, and the manager ended up plastered, naked, and covered in booze.
He then made the mistake of trying to light a cigarette. Apparently the mix of high-proof alcohol and open flame caused him to burst into flames. The poor fellow survived to tell the tale, but was severely burned.
The Metropolitan Police are investigating the details of the accident, and the victim has apologized for the trouble caused by his own stupidity.
Although the victim probably doesn't think it's very funny, FNN's online report (J) features an artist's rendition of the accident, which may be the best news graphic ever. Replicated here for your amusement:

Copper Wire Theft
February 12, 2013
Driving in the dark lately? You may have noticed the lights are out along some sections of major interstates, like I-15, I-80, and I-215. But don't blame the power company or burned out light bulbs…the real culprits are thieves who are in the business of stealing copper wire.
When you and I drive past the big light posts on the freeway, we might not think twice about the copper wiring that powers high mast and interchange lighting. But to some, the junction boxes next to the posts are a gold mine waiting to be found. To uncover the copper wiring and pull it out, thieves have used everything from shovels and trucks…to golf clubs and horses.
To combat their creativity, we've got to get a little creative ourselves. Led by Richard Hibbard, UDOT's State Lighting Maintenance Crew (Mike Bishop, Todd Wright, John Garcia, Walter "Woody" Wood, and Brandon Clark) focuses on the hardest hit areas and the biggest targets.
The crew is now moving junction boxes away from the light posts and burying them randomly, making the boxes more difficult for thieves to find. (Don't worry, we've got a locator ball inside so our own guys know where they are.) The crew is also welding handhole covers onto poles, filling some boxes with concrete, and adding rebar to others to make it harder to chip the concrete away.
Despite our best efforts, thieves are still getting to some of those areas and they're hitting new locations seemingly every week. Hibbard says some of the hot spots are I-80 near Stansbury Park, I-215 at 700 North and 2100 North, I-15 at 600 North, and I-215 at I-80. He says, "I- 215 at I-80 is just a mess. If anyone wants to know why those lights are out it's because half the wiring is gone."
In fact, the amount of copper wire that UDOT has had to replace in just the past two years is staggering. Since February 2011, crews have replaced 110,000 feet of copper wire in Region 2 alone.
They suspect there's another 75,000 feet missing they haven't gotten to yet. And the situation does not appear to be improving. In January 2013, thieves made off with 15 hundred feet of copper wire from just one location.
Metal recyclers pay about $2.75-$3.00 per pound for unstripped wire, so a thousand feet of stolen wire would net someone anywhere from $300 to $700. Unfortunately, it costs a lot to replace that wire, and taxpayers are footing the bill. In the past two years, nearly $450,000 of materials and man hours has gone into replacing stolen copper wire. That's enough money to pay for 26,000 feet of new cable median barrier.
Something needs to change, but what can we do? The answer is keep your eyes open. Hibbard says, "If you see anyone that appears to be working on lighting, someone should be asking questions." And he means anyone. If you see a guy on a bike digging near a light post, a car pulled off the side of the freeway, or even someone in an orange vest poking around a junction box…be suspicious.
Hibbard suspects many of the thieves are electricians or others who know what they're doing and look professional. He thinks some thefts may be happening during the day, but most happen at night. "The most suspicious thing is just any time you see a car parked on the side of the road, especially at night. I always find myself wondering what's going on there."
If you suspect copper wire theft is underway, but you're not quite sure, you can always call the TOC and they'll be able to find out if there's legitimate work going on in that location.
If you're positive there's a theft underway, just call the police. Let's put the thieves behind bars, because after all, it's our taxpayer money they're stealing.

Teddy Wayne Gentry was born in Fort Payne, Alabama on January 22, 1952. At an early age, Teddy moved to nearby Lookout Mountain with his mother to live with his grandfather, Paw Paw. Paw Paw lived in a wooden frame house on a 60 acre cotton farm.
After graduating from High School , early in his music career, Teddy worked many other jobs to pay the rent. Teddy recalls he did just about everything, "I ran a theatre, I laid carpet, I bagged groceries and I worked on a farm."
When not playing with Alabama, Teddy enjoys spending time with his family and directing operations at his Bent Tree Farms. After receiving his first check from RCA records in 1980 for $61,000, he asked his wife Linda what he should do with the money. She answered, "What means the most to you?" "Why don't you buy your grandfathers farm--where you were raised, because I know you love the old place."
Well, that's exactly what he did. His grandfather agreed to sell the 60-acre cotton farm, soon to be named Bent Tree Farms, for $1000 an acre, where he had lived since the late 1920's.
By 1980, Teddy's grandfather was no longer able to farm the land and wished for Teddy to take over the farm. Teddy's interest in the cattle business had continued to grow so in 1981 he purchased a neighboring farm that had belonged to his great-grandfather, Owen. The purchase of the new 60 acre farm grew the total farm size to around 140 acres.
Where did Bent Tree Farms get it's name? Teddy explains: "My son Josh was in the second or third grade. One night we were going over rhymes, we had rhymed several words and suddenly I said our last name -- Gentry. To which he replied, Bent Tree. I was telling one of the boys working on the farm the next day about my son's saying Bent Tree. He replied, 'You know what a bent tree is?' I said, 'no.'"
"He said, 'In Oklahoma, where I used to live, there were Bent Trees that the Indians would bend over when the trees were small and tie them to the ground, to point the direction the tribe was moving at the time.'"
"I contacted a lady at the Alabama Historical Society who told me there were bent trees along the top of Lookout Mountain and Little River Canyon where our farm is. When we found out this information, we decided to change the name of the farm to Bent Tree Farms."
When it comes to music Teddy plays by ear and has written hundreds of songs. He has co-written many of the Alabama hits -- "How Do I Fall In Love," "Why Lady Why," "My Home's In Alabama," "Fallin' Again," "Give Me One More Shot," "Sad Lookin' Moon," to name a few. He's also the founder and president of Creative Cafe.
Teddy was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in November 2005 along with his partners in Alabama. As part of his acceptance speech Teddy remarked, "Being put into the Country Music Hall of Fame is the greatest achievement of Alabama's career. I am moved and honored to be in the elite company of my heroes."
One of Teddy's favorite career memories was the night ACMA presented Alabama with "The Entertainer Of The Year Award." That was a dream come true for him and the band. Teddy enjoys reading fan mail, especially "from the young fans" and wants all their fans to "Turn other people on to our music." When asked if he had any thoughts for the fans, Teddy says, "I would like to extend many thanks for your support over the years and I hope that we can always put out a piece of product that will make the fans proud of us.

The door to the room in which SCP-119 resides is to be locked for all periods except during experimentation, with the entry codes given only to authorized research and security personnel. An industrial-grade disinfectant will be available nearby at all times, and the inside of SCP-119 is to be heavily disinfected before any testing. The contents of SCP-119 are to be monitored through the viewing window on SCP-119 at all times during testing, and will be stopped immediately should the contents become hostile or otherwise damaging to SCP-119.
Description: SCP-119 is a Panasonic [REDACTED] Microwave Oven. It was initially discovered by an agent, who had bought it from a liquidation sale of the assets from ████ Valley Vineyards. It is believed that ████ Valley Vineyards was using the anomalous properties of SCP-119 to rapidly age its products and create expensive vintages. Records show ████ Valley Vineyards making under-the-table sales of vintages dated as far back as 19██, many years before the company's inception in 2005. These sales are what led to the lawsuits accusing the company of falsifying product information and other forms of fraud, which eventually caused ████ Valley Vineyards to declare bankruptcy. SCP-119 appears to be a standard model of microwave in all respects except that the magnetron unit does not produce microwave radiation. Instead, the magnetron emits a previously unknown type of radiation that accelerates time.
The amount of time accelerated is based on the time input given at the start, and the power level setting. The time input allows for three digits, and there are five power level settings. On power level 1, the number of seconds input equals the number of seconds experienced within the microwave. Therefore, an input of 30 seconds would cause the microwave to run for 30 seconds, at the end of which the object will have aged 30 seconds. Each subsequent power level past 1 causes an exponential increase of the acceleration of time. At power level 2 with an input of 30 seconds, the microwave will run for 30 seconds and the contents will have aged 900 seconds (15 minutes) or 30*30 seconds. At power level 5, with an input of 999 seconds, the microwave will run for 999 seconds, and the contents will have aged 995,009,990,004,999 seconds (31,529,964 years).
Experimentation with the other buttons on the microwave have not resulted in any anomalous properties, although they do still function as would be expected from a normal microwave. The "minute +" button, for example, adds 60 seconds, and the "defrost" function prompts the user to open the door and flip the contents periodically. Pressing the "minute +" button during operation, however, does not recalculate the adjusted time acceleration, merely causing the contents to age at the pre-calculated rate for another 60 seconds. (eg: Power Level 2 for 30 seconds would age for 900 seconds (15 minutes), input of "minute +" would result in the microwave running for 90 seconds and aging the contents 2700 seconds (45 minutes), or 3(30*30), instead of aging the contents for 8100 seconds (135 minutes), or 90*90).
SCP-119 can be dismantled, and replacement parts can be substituted for every component except the magnetron. When placing the magnetron in any other microwave, including duplicates of the same model, the magnetron continues to exhibit time acceleration. However, replicating the effects of anything above power level 2 have failed in every model except the original microwave in which the magnetron was found.
Although SCP-119, like all standard microwave models, will normally only function when the door is closed, during deconstruction it was determined that disabling the closing mechanism allows the device to work while open. Subsequent testing determined that the radiation emitted from SCP-119 has a fallout pattern very similar to the microwave radiation it replaced. However, further experiments operating SCP-119 while open now require the approval of a Clearance Level 4 personnel.
Addendum: After subsequent testing, it has been determined that the accelerated time experienced within SCP-119 is not accelerated from the perspective of those being affected, instead causing the occupants to perceive that they are simply staying inside of the microwave for the adjusted duration. Should living creatures be exposed to SCP-119 for extended durations, they could quite quickly die of starvation, as they will require as much sleep and food as they would outside of SCP-119. Therefore, further experimentation with living beings now requires the approval of a Clearance Level 4 personnel.
Furthermore, due to the possibility of micro-organisms undergoing accelerated evolution within SCP-119, industrial-grade disinfectant has now been added to the containment procedure for SCP-119.

A cache of cuneiform tablets unearthed by a team led by a University of Toronto archaeologist has been found to contain a largely intact Assyrian treaty from the early 7th century BCE.
"The tablet is quite spectacular. It records a treaty -- or covenant -- between Esarhaddon, King of the Assyrian Empire and a secondary ruler who acknowledged Assyrian power. The treaty was confirmed in 672 BCE at elaborate ceremonies held in the Assyrian royal city of Nimrud (ancient Kalhu). In the text, the ruler vows to recognize the authority of Esarhaddon's successor, his son Ashurbanipal," said Timothy Harrison, professor of near eastern archaeology in the Department of Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations and director of U of T's Tayinat Archaeological Project (TAP).
"The treaties were designed to secure Ashurbanipal's accession to the throne and avoid the political crisis that transpired at the start of his father's reign. Esarhaddon came to power when his brothers assassinated their father, Sennacherib."
The 43 by 28 centimetre tablet -- known as the Vassal Treaties of Esarhaddon -- contains about 650 lines and is in a very fragile state. "It will take months of further work before the document will be fully legible," added Harrison. "These tablets are like a very complex puzzle, involving hundreds of pieces, some missing. It is not just a matter of pulling the tablet out, sitting down and reading. We expect to learn much more as we restore and analyze the document."
The researchers hope to glean information about Assyria's imperial relations with the west during a critical period, the early 7th century BCE. It marked the rise of the Phrygians and other rival powers in highland Anatolia -- now modern-day Turkey -- along the northwestern frontier of the Assyrian empire, and coincided with the divided monarchy of Biblical Israel, as well as an era of increased contact between the Levantine peoples of the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt, as well as the Greeks of the Aegean world.
The cache of tablets -- which date back to the Iron Age -- were unearthed in August 2009 during excavations at the site of an ancient temple at Tell Tayinat, located in southeastern Turkey. A wealth of religious paraphernalia -- including gold, bronze and iron implements, libation vessels and ornately decorated ritual objects -- was also uncovered.
TAP is an international project, involving researchers from a dozen countries, and more than 20 universities and research institutes. It operates in close collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of Turkey, and provides research opportunities and training for both graduate and undergraduate students. The project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Institute for Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP), and receives support from the University of Toronto.

In 2009 a friend gave me an old smoker he never used. This was the start of a beautiful thing at my house. It was a couple weeks before Thanksgiving and I was trying to figure out what to make on it first.
The first cooker. |
As I said earlier, I had never smoked anything so I didn't know where to begin. I was watching the Food Network and the Neelys were on talking about smoking a turkey. I watched the show. It was very informative and I learned a lot. They smoked a 20lb bird. Most BBQ cookbooks don't recommend smoking anything larger then a 15lb bird due to the possibility of under cooked meat. I recommend starting small. Last year I did a 20 pounder and a 15 pounder, they both came out great.
20lb bird on the left, 15lb bird on the right |
You should plan on cooking the turkey 30-40 minutes per pound but I have found that I am usually done cooking in about 4-5 hours. I also cook it at 275º instead of 235º-250º so that might make a difference. But like all good BBQ, "It's ready when it's ready." When the temperature reads 160º pull that bird off and let it rest.
I had watched, read and researched. I was ready
There are four basic steps to cooking a turkey.
- Brine (12-24 hours some do it longer)
- Rub & Stuff
- Cook
- Carve
Before you start make sure your turkey is thawed.
Brining is basically letting the turkey soak in a salt water bath. Using just salt water is boring though, so add some other spices to it. To do this you will need:
- At least a gallon container
- A brining bag or a food safe 5 gallon bucket
- Room in your fridge or a large cooler
In the large container mix up the ingredients in the recipe below:
- 1 gallon of water
- 2 cups salt
- 1 Woodchuck apple cider (I use Granny Smith)
- 1 Tablespoon pepper
- 1 Tablespoon favorite rub
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Now you will need to put the turkey into the brine.
I don't use a brining bag as they are expensive but I do use a roasting bag and set that into a garbage bag to hold the liquid and the turkey.
Use a large stock pot and line it with a roasting bag. Set the turkey inside the roasting bag and pour the brine over it. You may have sludge in the bottom of your container, make sure you get all that onto the turkey. Close the bag and seal it trying to remove excess air. Make sure it is sealed well otherwise the brine will leak out. Put it into the garbage bag and tie it up. This keeps the liquid from getting everywhere if there is a hole in the inner bag.
If you have a food safe 5 gallon bucket you can put the turkey in it with the brine and set it in the fridge.
After the bags are sealed put them in a cooler with some ice and set it in the garage. You can also put it in a large bowl in the fridge. It is important you keep the turkey cold (< 40º) so you don't grow any bacteria that will make you sick. Turn the turkey from time to time to time to make sure the brine covers the entire bird.
Whenever I enter the garage for something I turn the turkey to make sure the brine gets all over it. If it is in the fridge you may want to turn it every time you open the fridge.
Rub & Stuff
The turkey has brined all day and night and is ready to cook. Almost.
Much of the flavor and the juiciness of the meat comes from the brine and the smoke but you still need to put some seasonings on the outside to kick it up. There are many good rubs and spice mixes out there that you can use. Use something you like the flavor of.
I make my own, so I use that. Use what you like. If there are certain ones you use for roasting a turkey use those. It will still come out tasting good.
A jar of my rub. |
- Rub
- Olive oil or butter
- Bulb of garlic
- Onion
- Apple
- Disposable turkey pan (You don't want to ruin your wife's good one. That makes for a bad Thanksgiving.)
The garlic, onion and apple will be stuffed into the cavity of the turkey to add more flavor as it cooks. Dice the onion up into large pieces and set aside. Slice the apple up into large slices and set aside. Peal the garlic and set aside. Once the turkey is rubbed these will be stuffed inside.
But before you rub, start the fire. Get your lighter chimney filled with charcoal and start it up. Set some charcoal or wood (whatever you use) in the cooker so you can pour the lit charcoal on it and get the cooker heated up. Once the chimney is lit, or starting to light, it is time to rub the turkey.
Take the the bags out of the cooler and remove the roasting/brining bag from the garbage bag and set it in the sink. Cut it open and let the brine go down the drain. Remove the turkey and place it on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.
After the turkey is dry, set it in the cooking pan and rub it down with olive oil all over. On the wings, under the wings. The legs. Inside the cavity. Everywhere. Once it has been oiled sprinkle the rub on. The rub gets sprinkled everywhere and rubbed into the meat too.
After being oiled and rubbed down take the onions, garlic and apples and stuff them into the cavity until they spill out. Slide some of the garlic up under the skin for extra flavor. The turkey is ready to go on the cooker but the cooker is not yet ready.
The chimney should be ready to go into the cooker now. Pour the charcoal into the cooker and let it heat up. The turkey should be fine to sit until the cooker is up to 275º. This will give the rub and olive oil time to soak in some and help to get the full flavor.
Now that the cooker is up to 275º you can put the turkey on. Take the whole pan with the turkey in it and set it on the cooker. Shut the lid and get a cup of coffee, have breakfast, watch the parade. All you can do know is wait, and maintain temperature.
Check the cooker from time to time to make sure that the temperature is maintaining 275º. Adjust your vents as needed. Add wood or charcoal as needed.
Every time I add wood I check the turkey. If the turkey breast is the color I want it I put a foil tent on it to make sure it doesn't get darker (shiny side out to reflect the heat). I also take the juices that run into the pan and baste the turkey with them to keep the skin moist. If other parts of the bird are looking too done you can put foil on them too.
Foil tent. |
I let the turkey rest for up to an hour before I carve it. I will wrap it in foil to keep it warm.
A final turkey |
I'm not a professional carver but I play one at home. I learned by trial and error and discovered videos on Youtube and the Food Network that helped me figure out how to do it correctly. But the thing that helped me the most was the Joy of Cooking cookbook. They have detailed instructions on how to carve a turkey.
Instead of trying to explain it check out the following sites which have great tutorials on how to carve turkeys:

Supermarket chain Mere 'to become cheapest in UK' as it plans to open 300 budget stores
A budget supermarket chain from Russia has revealed plans to open 300 stores in the UK over the next eight years.
Founded in Siberia, in 2009, the company - known in its home country as Svetofor - has been opening stores across Europe under the Mere name since 2018.
The company already has stores in Germany, Poland, Latvia, Ukraine, Romania and Lithuania and is expanding into the UK, Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria.
The first shop to throw open it's doors in the UK is reportedly in Preston's Ribbleton next month – with claims produce will be 30% cheaper than other UK supermarkets.
Speaking to The Grocer earlier this month, Mere's head of UK buying Pavels Antonovs said the chain would fill a "gap in the market" in the UK, with no competitors as their model is based on no service and no marketing.
Mere is known to have adopted a 'no-frills' model of food shopping – it sees suppliers deliver directly to its supermarket stores, which double up as the company's warehouses.
Each Mere store in the UK will be around 10,000 sq ft, include a walk-in chiller room and a huge freezer to allow multi-temperature ranges to be sold directly from the pallet they arrive on.
There is little in the way of shopping experience, with the company priding itself on simplicity and likening its model to Costco but with no membership fee and no in-store service.
Each store will have a maximum of 1,200 SKUs - different items on sale - which is slightly less than Aldi (1,400 SKUs) and much less than more traditional supermarkets in the UK.
There will only be eight members of staff in store - a director, four cashiers and three who handle deliveries - with bosses sights set on three other UK locations in Castleford, Mold and Caldicot in the near future.

Think on your feet

In Reply to: Think on your feet posted by Noga on January 14, 2005
: Can anyone explain the meaning of this phrase to me?
: ("you have to think on your feet"). I can't seem to find a simple explanation (neither in Oxford nor in Webster)
: thanx
It means to solve problems spontaneously, immediately, without time for contemplation. The imagery is that of a person in action, versus one sitting and planning. Imagine a tennis player having to make split-second decisions, or a lawyer questioning a witness. (Come to think of it, the witness has to "think on his feet" even though he's sitting down. (!) You may have made careful preparation and planned for most contingencies, but when the action starts, there will always be surprises you must react to on the spur of the moment.

Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard, affectionately known as RDA, serves as a major corridor for schools, historic neighborhoods, and businesses in Southwest Atlanta. RDA is a large street with fast traffic and a lonely stretch of bike lane between Murphy Ave and I-85. The road, whether by bike or by car, is often perilous due to potholes, debris, and jagged train tracks.
RDA turns into Georgia Avenue and runs through seven amazing Atlanta neighborhoods: Westview, West End, Adair Park, Pittsburgh, Mechanicsville, Summerhill, and Grant Park.
The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition connects these neighborhoods at Atlanta Streets Alive. You can help make this a more livable, walkable, and bikeable corridor all year-round by supporting our campaign for bike lanes and regular maintenance on RDA and Georgia Avenue.
In addition to bike lanes on RDA and Georgia Avenue, we are advocating for:
- Resurfacing and repairing dangerous potholes on RDA
- Regularly maintaining this critical corridor by sweeping trash and debris
- Paving over the hazardous out-of-use train tracks
Dan Murphy
If you're all for making Atlanta better, we should talk.

For some people, risk means excitement and opportunity. For others, it invokes feelings of fear and discomfort. We all experience a degree of risk in our everyday lives – whether it's simply walking down the street or having investments in the share market.
Everyone has a risk profile that defines their willingness to accept risk. It's usually shaped by age, lifestyle and goals and is likely to change over time.
Risk is about tolerating the potential for losses, the ability to withstand market movements and the inability to predict what's ahead. In financial terms, risk is the chance that an outcome will differ from the expected outcome or return.
It includes the possibility of losing some or all of your original investment. Often you may not be aware of your risk appetite until you're facing a potential loss, so loss aversion becomes a significant factor when making decisions related to risk.
As an investor, you should have a good understanding of your attitude towards risk. If you take on too much risk, you might panic and sell at a bad time. But if you don't expose yourself to enough risk, you may be disappointed with your returns and potentially unable achieve your objectives.
How do I work out my risk appetite?
Generally speaking, your age, income and investment objectives all help determine your risk appetite.
Generally younger investors with a longer time horizon to invest are more willing to take greater risk with their money to earn higher potential returns. Older investors with a shorter investment timeframe may be more cautious as they'll need their money to be more readily available and have less time to recover from a loss.
People who earn more money and have a higher disposable income can typically afford to take greater risks with their investments.
Investment objectives:
Be clear about why you're investing and when you think you'll need to withdraw your money, as well as how long you need the money to last. Saving for a holiday or a deposit on a home is quite different from investing for your retirement.
Risk and Return
The relationship between risk and return underpins all financial decisions. The more risk an investor is willing to take, the greater the potential return. However, investors expect to be compensated for taking on this additional risk and should realise that taking on more risk doesn't guarantee higher returns.
Whatever your risk appetite, you should always consider both risk and return before making decisions about what to do with your money. Although shares and property are generally considered to be higher-risk investments, even more conservative investments like bonds can experience short-term losses. No investment is completely risk free.
This explains why smart investors typically have a diversified portfolio that includes several different types of investments.
Risk and Diversification
Don't think that just because your friends invest in shares you should too. If you don't have a lot to invest or you'll want to access your money in a few years, shares may not be the right type of investment for you.
By understanding your risk appetite and being honest about what you want to achieve, you're more likely to be comfortable with your investment decisions.
The simplest way to minimise investment risk is through diversification. A well-diversified portfolio will usually include different asset classes, like shares, property, bonds and cash, with exposure across different industries, markets and countries.
The idea is to reduce the correlation between the different types of investment and have a good balance of assets which move in different directions and at different times. So, if some of your assets perform poorly, others may be performing well, offsetting the poor performers.
Although diversification doesn't guarantee you won't suffer a loss, it's an effective way to minimise risk and help investors realise their financial goals.
Make informed decisions
You should monitor both your risk appetite and your investment portfolio over time. Your risk appetite is likely to change as you get older, and as your income or family situation changes.
Similarly, you should review your portfolio to ensure the risk level is still suited to your overall investment objectives. Financial markets are constantly changing, which means the underlying assets you're invested in could change too.
If you're a confident investor, you should check that it's still on track to generate the level of return you want and importantly, at a comfortable level of risk. If you prefer to speak with a financial adviser, they too can help you undertake regular reviews and rebalance your portfolio, as necessary.
By understanding your risk appetite, you're in a better position to make well-informed and transparent financial decisions. It will help you identify opportunities to take on more risk where appropriate or see where you're exposed to unnecessary risk and adjust accordingly. You'll also avoid being caught up in the emotion of market activity, where panic can lead to a poorly timed and costly decision.

By Josh Boak and Emily Swanson | The Associated Press
June 22, 2020
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans' outlook on the national economy has improved somewhat from its lowest points during the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic, but a new poll suggests Democrats and Republicans are living in alternate economic realities amid the sharpest recession in the nation's history.
Eighty-five percent of Democrats call economic conditions "poor," while 65% of Republicans describe them as "good" in a new survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
This divide reflects the deep polarization ahead of the 2020 presidential election, as well as a series of indicators that point toward a weakened but recovering U.S. economy.
"The economy is in terrible shape and improving rapidly," said Harvard University professor Jason Furman, formerly the top economist in the Obama White House. "Depending on which of the two halves you're looking at, you're going to have a very different interpretation of where we are."
Americans can see reasons for hope as well as doubt. They face a host of uncertainties about the path of COVID-19, the fate of small businesses with fewer customers and the status of additional government aid.
Overall, 63% of the country says the economy is in poor shape, down somewhat from the 70% who felt that way in May. The change was driven by increasingly optimistic Republicans, only 43% of whom described the economy as good a month ago. Two-thirds of Republicans, but just 29% of Democrats, expect improvement over the next year.
Thelma Ross, 78, of Granby, Missouri, believes the economy will recover if President Donald Trump can defeat Democratic challenger Joe Biden, the former vice president.
"I think it's going to come back, stronger than ever, if we get the right president in," Ross said. "President Trump is a businessman."
Yet she is concerned by the protests after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, an African American, and the calls to remove statues that celebrate the Confederacy and Christopher Columbus. Ross views division as harmful for any economic recovery.
Ross said of Trump: "I pray for divine revelation and divine guidance for that man because he needs that right now."
The survey finds that African Americans and Hispanics are more likely than white Americans to say someone in their household has lost a job or other income. That inequality has added to the broader reckoning with structural racism amid nationwide protests over police brutality following Floyd's death.
Overall, 66% of Hispanic Americans and 53% of Black Americans say they've experienced some form of household income loss, including layoffs, unpaid time off and cuts in hours or pay. Forty-two percent of white Americans say the same. Thirty-four percent of Hispanics, 29% of African Americans and 20% of white Americans said someone in their household has been laid off.
The poll finds signs that some of those layoffs are becoming permanent. Among all those who experienced a layoff in their household, 55% say the job definitely or probably will return — and 8% say it already has. Still, 36% said the job will most likely not come back, which is significantly higher than the 20% who said that in April.
The economy cratered in March and April as people sheltered in place in hopes of stopping the pandemic, and the unemployment rate spiked to at least 14.7%. Responses to government surveys suggested the true jobless rate may have been even higher. But it showed signs of reviving in May. Retail sales surged 17.7%, and 2.5 million jobs were added. The unemployment rate improved to 13.3%, a number that is still the second highest reading in records going back to 1948.
Leah Avery, 54, lost her job driving a school bus in suburban Dallas. She said she checks her email daily to find out how schools will reopen. She applied for unemployment benefits a month ago, but the request has been under review.
"It's a struggle day by day for us to pay our bills, and I know others are going through the same thing," she said.
The job loss has only added to her stress. Her aunt died from COVID-19, and she needs to take care of her elderly mother and her husband, who has dialysis appointments three days a week. It's a full-time job with no pay, she said.
"I just have these moments where it makes me cry," she said. "You don't know this day from the next day what is going to happen."
The nearly $3 trillion in approved federal aid has shielded many people from the pain of the downturn. About two-thirds of Americans still call their personal financial situations good.
A bipartisan group of economists proposed an additional $1 trillion to $2 trillion of aid to sustain any recovery, including targeted funds for state and local governments, subsidized loans for small businesses, more generous unemployment benefits and aid for low-wage workers.
"It should be thought of as an investment in the economy," said Melissa Kearney, a University of Maryland economics professor who helped lead the effort. The proposals are based on ideas shown to boost growth and provide traction for a recovery that is still in its early and fragile stages.
Broxton Sanders, 20, has been selling mattresses while on break from studies at the University of South Alabama. He's a rising junior majoring in political science, and he would like to one day oversee a hospital for military veterans. He noticed that mattress sales picked up during Memorial Day weekend, but there are days now with few, if any, shoppers.
"The economy definitely could be better," Sanders said. "I'll be honest, I think we've seen the worst of it. But that doesn't mean it couldn't fall off kilter at any second."
The AP-NORC poll of 1,310 adults was conducted June 11-15 using a sample drawn from NORC's probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

Who among us doesn't want to lead a life worth emulating?
With great children, a loving marriage, and a closer, faith-filled walk with the Lord. But for many of us, making that a reality is big challenge!Balancing life's priorities can seem a bit overwhelming at times. The pressures of work for men, the need for finances, the demands of parenting and the resulting strain on marriage can leave us weathered, weary and wondering what really works in life?
That's where the Ultimate Christian Living Bundle comes in. Ultimate-Bundles.com called in some best selling authors, leading experts and top business professionals to address the most common challenges faced by families and individuals today – all from a solid, Biblical foundation.

To complement that subject, they added 8 more books focused on parenting and passing on your faith to your kids. That wouldn't be complete without books just for kids so they also included 8 children's books that parents can read with their children. To close out the content for family life, the highly praised Singing Bible MP3 version was added (a $25 value all by itself). It actually teaches children the story of the Bible not just random stories.
For your husband's (or son's) professional life…
You will find John Muratori and Michael Pink's six -hour Christian Wealth Building course ($77 value) which was complemented with Bob Lotich's 31-day devotional Managing Money God's Way.

To ignite your faith…
Rounding out the package, Bridge Logos and Moody Press made a series of classic Christian literature available from generals of the faith like Charles Spurgeon, D.L. Moody, A.W. Pink, E.M. Bounds, Calvin, Wesley, Edwards and more who wrote about grace, prayer, faith and an overcoming life.
In addition to these wonderful classics, the Ultimate Bundles team snagged 12 heart-stirring devotionals from authors like A.W. Tozer and Nancy Leigh DeMoss that speak to matters of faith that are sure to inspire. Let's not forget Gary Chapman's Extraordinary Grace or Ray Comfort's Way of the Master for sharing your faith with others. Both heartbreaking and inspiring, don't miss Philip Cameron's, They Call Me Dad, the story of one man's fight to save orphans from human trafficking.
So as you can see, the Ultimate Christian Living Bundle is an extraordinary value.
