Antonio Cassano has reiterated his desire to stay at Sampdoria. "I'd drink a glass of President Riccardo Garrone's petrol," he told a comedy show.
The club has begun proceedings to have his contract terminated following a row with President (and oil baron) Garrone.
"I'd drink a glass of petrol from the Garrone refinery if it meant his forgiveness," joked the player on Striscia La Notizia.
"If possible I would like to play again, but it's up to the President. There was a discussion between myself and Garrone that ended in a complicated situation.
"I was meant to participate in an awards ceremony with him, I said no and tempers got heated.
"I had already told him two months ago that I had other commitments, but Garrone insisted. We got into some ugly words.
"My wife is pregnant, she isn't feeling very well, so it's obvious I wanted to stay close to her."
Alleged details of the row emerged in the newspapers, but Cassano assures the quotes were inaccurate.
"I never called him an old man. I would never dare say such a thing. I said some things with the wrong tone.
"The most important thing for me right now is getting back on the field and, as I always said, I want to stay with Sampdoria, if that is possible."

The RESTORER offers a variety of quick-change, tool-less interchangeable rollers designed to sand and strip paint from wood, brick and fiberglass as well as polish and remove rust from metal. It is a patented hand-held power tool that is very ergonomically balanced and compact for maneuvering in tight areas and around tough obstacles. Weighing in at 4.5lbs the Restorer is less than half the weight of a typical belt sander and is the most efficient sanding tool on the market
The RESTORER is so efficient at removing material due to its barrel shaped roller design that keeps the surface cool while flicking the debris from the surface versus a belt sander or orbital sander that tend to heat up the surface causing the paint or stain to clog the abrasive belts or pads. The pistol grip design allows the operator to control the tool with one hand or work overhead easily and the super efficient built-in vac port clears away all paint, wood or debris instantly.

Sofia Richie Did NOT Tweet "Love You" To Justin Bieber, Despite Report
Sofia Richie did not tweet "love you" to Justin Bieber, despite a new inaccurate report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct the claim, which comes from a sloppy and lazy webloid. We're told the Twitter account the story based its information on is entirely "fake."
According to the repeatedly discredited HollywoodLife, while "defending" Bieber against Selena Gomez, "Sofia went so far as to tweet two magical words" to him. The unreliable webloid continues, "We had no idea how intensely she felt until she tweeted two very serious words on Aug. 15 — 'love you.'" The outlet then squeals, "OMG… Way to stand by your man in his time of need AND waste no time in expressing your feelings."
Even though HollywoodLies should have just ended its sentence with "we have no idea," it went on to wrongly blather, "This new sweet message speaks VOLUMES." The outlet further postulates that it's obviously meant for Bieber, but if it isn't, perhaps "love you" was directed to the "Beliebers that Sofia could be trying to win over during the 'Cold Water' singer's battle to prove he still cares about them." The webloid ends its disastrously inaccurate story by noting that despite the triangulated war between Bieber, Gomez, and Beliebers, "none of this hate is really getting to Sofia if she is publicly expressing her feelings for the singer."
There's once slight problem with the webloid's report: It's totally wrong and based on a 100 percent fake Sofia Richie Twitter account with the handle @sofiairichie. But rather than fact-checking its story, the disreputable site instead made-up an entire tale about Richie publicly declaring "love you" to Bieber. Gossip Cop, however, investigates claims, and Richie's own rep exclusively assures us, "She doesn't use Twitter," and the account is completely "fake."
Naturally, Gossip Cop is not remotely surprised that HollywoodLife got the story wrong. The outlet has published so many inaccuracies about Bieber that he has publicly railed against the site. Two months ago to the date, Bieber posted "HollywoodLife is untruthful" on Instagram. That was then followed up by Bieber writing, "HollywoodLife is garbage". Sadly, nothing has changed, and the webloid remains untruthful and still publishes "fake" garbage that it masquerades as news.

The work of radio producer Nigel Acheson, who has died, aged 57, of a gastrointestinal stromal tumour, a rare form of stomach cancer, had a peculiar magic. At first there was nothing except riveting storytelling. Then, without knowing quite how it was done, listeners would realise, to their surprise, that the programme was floating about a foot above the ground. It was like the feeling one has after reading a short story by Chekhov or Borges.
Nigel was a great producer because he was a good listener. The late Bruce Chatwin, who knew him when he lived in Brazil in the early 1970s, said he had to be very careful with Nigel - because he would end up telling him everything.
From 1980 to 1996 Nigel worked for Radio 4. But in 1992 John Birt took over as director general of the BBC - and changed everything. Four years later Nigel left to set up Loftus Productions. Ironically, the company was to vindicate Birt's concept of outsourcing - Birt having both provided the reason to get the hell out of the corporation, and the means to achieve it.
At the BBC Nigel won a Sony gold award for Going Back (where people went back to a place of critical significance in their lives) and developed bullet-proof formats such as Document, where a document is a starting-point to shed new light on past events. In 1993 he won an American George Foster Peabody award for a Document, The Unspeakable Atrocity, about the Holocaust. More prestigious awards followed at Loftus. In 2004 these included the Chicago Third Coast Festival gold award for She's All Right My Mum Is, about young carers, and the Catalan Premio Ondas for It's All Down to Ben, about a young heroin addict - honours he shared with reporter Kim Normanton.
But awards meant little to Nigel. His achievement at Loftus was the creation of a family, a welcoming space where it could blossom. There, without a meter ticking, he could craft programmes, such as Something Understood, to a standard he was happy with.
Born in Bridstow in Herefordshire, the son of a fruit farmer and a nurse, he was educated at the Elms school in Malvern, Worcestershire, and Wellington college in Berkshire. In 1971 he graduated in modern languages from Brasenose College, Oxford. He then trained as a teacher at Goldsmiths College, London, and in 1973 took a British Council job lecturing in English in Rio de Janeiro. There he met the love of his life, Fernando Soares.
Nigel began his BBC career in the mid-1970s at the World Service in London, working on English language teaching programmes - which included writing a detective story, Spy in the Sky. He had a writer's gift of detailed observation, and would have probably become one had he not been ensnared in the butterfly net of radio. Working for Radio 4 at Broadcasting House in archive features, (later talks and documentaries), he then made his rise to producer.
Nigel was not flash. He was interested in outsiders and how they negotiated an existence with the rest of us. The hallmark of his programmes was a dry wit. He loved music, and his use of it in radio was intuitive and deft. He enjoyed a close creative dialogue with Radio 3 and made splendid documentaries with Paul Quinn for the station.
Even when ill at the Royal Marsden hospital in London, he could not help but notice the characters in the ward who might make good radio subjects. He could find the story within them; for him they were never just radio fodder.
Towards the end many friends remarked to me that there was an aura surrounding Nigel. I believe it was the realisation that, with his foreshortened future, he would be better off to enjoy the present. He had become the ultimate listener.
Mark Damazer, Radio 4's controller, said of Nigel that he was profoundly civilised, cultured, articulate, original and decent. He was.
He is survived by Fernando, with whom he joined in a civil partnership last year.
· Patrick Nigel Acheson, radio producer, born June 21 1950; died March 28 2008

Cardinals Win in Eight Innings
CUA splits with St. Joseph's of Maine
WASHINGTON - The Catholic University baseball squad went 1-1 against the St. Joseph's College of Maine Monks (7-4) Thursday afternoon at Talbot Field. The Cards won the first game7-6 in eight innings but couldn't hold onto to an early lead in the second contest falling 7-4. With the .500 afternoon, CUA moves to 5-8 on the season as the team takes a few days off.
The Monks scored first but CUA answered in the bottom of the opening inning with a single from Tommy Little (Hyattsville, Md./DeMatha) who was brought home by Mike Goodman (Brookville, Md./Sherwood) reaching on an error on the third baseman. The Monks scored from a sacrifice fly in the second but the Cards took the lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning. Cory Hudson (Beltsville, Md./Gonzaga) and Joe Devine (Medford Lakes, N.J./Shawnee) both batted in runs as CUA utilized sacrifice bunts on offense.
After a quiet third SJC put together a rally in the top of the fourth as the Cardinal defense struggled. CUA walked in the first run and allowed another to score despite a double play. The Monks got the third on a single up the middle to go ahead 5-3. CUA went scoreless in the bottom of the inning and allowed one more in the top of the fifth off of a homer before coming back with answer in the bottom of the fifth.
Devine started it out with a homer over the right field wall to bring in two runs. Tommy Bowles (Davidsonville, Md./Mount Saint Joe) then came up with a double to right field and crossed the plate thanks to a single from Sean Earley (Pequannock, N.J./Pequannock Township) to tie it up. Both squads went scoreless in the seventh to send it into extra innings. The Cards held the Monks in the top of the eighth and in the bottom, CUA got three batters on after a single from Bobby Picardo (Atlantic Highlands, N.J./Middletown South/Communications) and some walks. Clean-up batter Robbie O'Brien (Columbia, Md./Long Reach) came up and hit a walk-off single up the middle to score the winning run 7-6.
Devine led the Cards going 3-4 with two RBI while Bowles went 2-3. Michael Bzozowski was awarded the win pitching the final inning with three strikeouts.
The Cards took the momentum from the extra inning into game two scoring three quick runs in the first, two of the RBI came from O'Brien's long single to right center as he continued his solid day at the plate. The Monks came back in the top of the second despite the first two batters getting out on a double play. After walking the next two the runners were driven in by a pair of hits to make it 3-2.
The Cardinal offense couldn't get anything moving and allowed a run off of three hits in the top of the third. In the fifth, Dustin Spiller crushed a two-run homer to take the 5-3 lead with two outs and the sun slowly setting. In the bottom of the sixth the Cards got one back when Joe Maca (Oyster Bay, N.Y./Saint Dominic) hit a triple down the right field line to drive one across the plate. With Maca on third and Goodman on first the Cards had their best chance to take the lead but a pop fly to foul territory ended the inning.
The final inning was disastrous for CUA as they gave up two more runs and three hits with three different pitchers. After giving up two runs it was the Cardinals' turn to bat and their last chance to get the win. Unfortunately they went one, two, three to fall 7-4. O'Brien and Maca both went 2-4 in the game and O'Brien led the squad with two RBI. CUA had just eight hits to SJC's 11 however, the Monks had three fielding errors to the Cards' one.
The Cardinals will travel to Bridgewater on Monday for a 3 p.m., contest.

Butternut squash.
Brown sugar.
Chipotle powder.
Its that simple and easy. We really liked the sweet and spicy brown sugar-chipotle combination. The puddle of brown sugar in the squash cavity is the best part!
Brown Sugar and Chipotle Baked or Roasted Butternut Squash Recipe
serves about 2 as a side dish
1 small butternut squash, about 3/4 lb
1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, more or less depending on how sweet you like it
1/4 tea spoon chipotle powder, or according to taste
Pre heat oven to 350 f
Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. Place the squash, cut side up, in an oven proof dish or baking tray that has been lined with foil. Brush olive oil or butter over the cut surfaces and insides of the squash. Sprinkle brown sugar, chipotle, and salt on the squash. I like to sprinkle just a little on top and put most the brown sugar mixture in the cavity of the squash.
Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes or till the squash is soft and sugar is bubbly but not burnt. Check on it periodically while baking, because sugar will burn easily.

Love Him Dearly..I love my Solider. He's so great to be around... Even though I'm not right now. :(
He and I have always been loving to each other but we have had our fair share of fighting.
It's time like these I wish I never would have uttered a mean word to him..
I always have dreams of him and it sucks when I open my eyes.
I can't do anything, anywhere without thinking of him... Because we did everything together..
I drive my car towards his house sometimes and wish I could turn on his road and expect to see him..
I look though old pictures and can't help but remember the day it was taken.
I live near the base and always see men in uniform and it makes me think of him even more.
But despite all these things, I know that no matter where he is or where I am, our love is stronger than anything.
No one or anything can tear us apart.
I love you, babe.
I will be the first in line when you get home to jump in your arms and tell you that I LOVE YOU DEARLY :)

To keep his plan alive and secure a sustainable future for America, Jake needs a crash course in the way Washington really works. Everyone keeps telling him that his plan has no hope of succeeding, but Jake is determined to prove them wrong even if it kills him, something that certain hostile parties may be all too happy to arrange.
Reawakened (The Reawakened #1), by Colleen Houck, (August 11, Delacorte Press)
When seventeen-year-old Lilliana Young enters the Metropolitan Museum of Art one morning during spring break, the last thing she expects to find is a live Egyptian prince with godlike powers, who has been reawakened after a thousand years of mummification. And she really can't imagine being chosen to aid him in an epic quest that will lead them across the globe. But fate has taken hold of Lily, and she, along with her sun prince, Amon, must travel to the Valley of the Kings, raise his brothers, and stop an evil, shape-shifting god named Seth from taking over the world.
The Best Horror of the Year: Volume Seven, edited by Ellen Datlow, (August 11, Night Shade)
A sin-eater plies the tools of her dangerous trade; a jealous husband takes his rival on a hunting trip; a student torments one of his teachers; a cheap grafter is selling artifacts form hell; something is haunting the departure lounge of an airport. The Best Horror of the Year showcases the previous year's best offerings in short fiction horror. This edition includes award-winning and critically acclaimed authors Laird Barron, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Nathan Ballingrud, Genevieve Valentine, and more. With each passing year, science, technology, and the march of time shine light into the craggy corners of the universe, making the fears of an earlier generation seem quaint. But this "light" creates its own shadows. This is a catalog of terror, fear, and unpleasantness, as articulated by today's most challenging and exciting writers.
The Dark Forest (Three Body #2), by Cixin Liu, (August 11, Tor)
Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion, in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead. (U.S. Release)
The Dragon Round, by Stephen S. Power, (August 11, Simon & Schuster/Simon451)
Jeryon has been the captain of the Comber for over a decade. He knows the rules. He follows the rules. He likes the rules. Not everyone on his ship agrees. When a monstrous dragon attacks the Comber, his surviving crew, vengeful and battle-worn, decide to take the ship for themselves and give Jeryon and his self-righteous apothecary "the captain's chance:" a small boat with no rudder, no sails, and nothing but the shirts on their backs to survive. Jeryon and his companion discover that the island they've landed on isn't quite as deserted as they originally thought. They find a rare baby dragon that, if trained, just might be their ticket off the island. But as Jeryon and the dragon grow closer, he begins to realize that even if he makes it off the island, his life will never be the same again. In order for justice to be served, he'll have to take it for himself. (ebook only)
The End of All Things (Old Man's War #6), by John Scalzi, (August 11, Tor)
Humans expanded into space, only to find a universe populated with multiple alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed. The Colonial Union used the Earth and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. The Colonial Union is living on borrowed time, a couple of decades at most, before the ranks of the Colonial Defense Forces are depleted and the struggling human colonies are vulnerable to the alien species who have been waiting for the first sign of weakness. A group, lurking in the darkness of space, playing human and alien against each other, and against their own kind, for their own unknown reasons. CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson and the Colonial Union diplomats he works with race to discover who is behind attacks on the Union and on alien races, to seek peace with a suspicious, angry Earth, and keep humanity's union intact, or else risk oblivion, and extinction, and the end of all things.
The Last Necromancer (The Ministry of Curiosities #1), by C.J. Archer, (August 11, Amazon Digital)
Victorian London: For five years, Charlotte (Charlie) Holloway has lived as a boy in the slums. When one theft too many gets her arrested, her only means of escape lies with a dead man. Charlie hasn't raised a spirit since she first discovered she could do so five years ago. People are now hunting Charlie all over London, but only one man succeeds in capturing her. Lincoln Fitzroy is the mysterious head of a secret organization on the trail of a madman who needs a necromancer to control his newly "made" creatures. Lincoln captures the willful Charlie in the hopes the boy will lead him to Charlotte. What happens when he discovers the boy is the young woman he's been searching for? Will she agree to work for the man who held her against her will? Lincoln and his ministry might be just as dangerous as the madman they're hunting. (ebook only)
The Left-Hand Way (American Craftsmen #2), by Tom Doyle, (August 11, Tor)
The American craftsmen are scattered like bait overseas. What starts as an ordinary liaison mission to London for Major Michael Endicott becomes a desperate chase across Europe, where Endicott is both hunted and hunter. Reluctantly joining him is his minder from MI13, Commander Grace Marlowe, one of Her Majesty's most lethal magician soldiers, whose family has centuries of justified hostility to the Endicotts. In Istanbul and Tokyo, Endicott's comrades, Scherie Rezvani and Dale Morton, are caught in their own battles for survival against hired assassins and a ghost-powered doomsday machine. And in Kiev, Roderick Morton, the spider at the center of a global web, plots their destruction and his ultimate apotheosis. After centuries of imprisonment, nothing less than godlike power will satisfy Roderick, whatever the dreadful cost.
The Lightning Stones, by Jack Du Brul, (August 11, Doubleday)
Sinking thousands of feet below the surface of the earth in the Leister Deep copper mine in Minnesota, Philip Mercer rides a series of heavy-duty elevators to visit his old friend and mentor, Abraham Jacobs. Jacobs has led a research team to the deepest section of the mine for a groundbreaking study into climate change and cosmic rays. But as Mercer approaches the bottom, he is stunned to hear the unmistakable report of automatic gunfire in the massive underground chambers. He can't stop the inevitable: by the time Mercer finds his way to them, his dear friend, and the entire research team, have been efficiently executed. Mercer is left seeking answers, and revenge. Mercer is thrust into an international hunt for the murderers, and the frightening secret of what they were looking for.
The Rise of the Automated Aristocrats (Burton & Swinburne #6), by Mark Hodder, (August 11, Pyr)
Sir Richard Francis Burton's expedition has returned from the future, bringing with it knowledge of technologies that must remain secret if history is to proceed as it should. However, when one of his colleagues turns rogue, the secret falls into the hands of the very people most likely to misuse it. Betrayed, Burton and Swinburne watch in horror as the Empire's elite employ the technology to secure their positions of privilege. When London's parks are transformed into concentration camps, artists and philosophers are declared enemies of the State, and propaganda proliferates, the king's agent finds himself on the wrong side of, the king. Can Burton and his band of hunted revolutionaries overthrow an apparently indestructible and immortal autocrat … and if so, at what personal cost?
Graynelore, by Stephen Moore, (August 13, Harper Voyager)
Graynelore is a brutal, lawless world, where a man's only loyalty is to his grayne (his family). Murder, blackmail, theft and blood-feud are all part of daily life. Faerie tales are myths, strictly for the children. Why then is Rogrig Wishard, a hardened fighting-man who likes to solve problems with his sword, suddenly hearing voices and seeing faeries for real? What makes him embark upon a seemingly ridiculous quest to restore a Faerie Isle to the world? Is he mad or simply faerie-touched? If he's going to make any sense of it he's going to have to go right to the source, the faeries themselves. But that's easier said than done when the only information he has to go on is from bards and myth. (ebook only; print available Feb. 2016)

So… was this why the servers came down early?
How imperative.
•Decoration recipes now require Toxnettle Roots instead of Colossal Reactants.
Unless you live on Splitpaw in which case they still do…
Decoration recipes now require Toxnettle Roots instead of Colossal Reactants.
Outstanding, I can bother with these now!
They actually fixed the browser? Only years overdue 😀
@Llenwyn: You can thank/blame the browser fix on me and my guildmates. We spent a few days last week tracking down what was causing the crash with Zam, provided them repro steps, and eventually provided them steps on how to fix it from the client side (Flash was the cause btw). They passed the info along to Zoltaroth. I'll see once I get home tonight whether or not they implemented my exact *fix* or if they implemented it some other way.
Why my guildmates and I had to step in and figure out a bug that had been in place for several years, I have no idea. lol
There has been a fix/workaround for ages which involved disabling flash by adding a few lines in the .ini. I always marvelled that they never patched that workaround to keep the game from crashing when people openend Zam in the browser.
I am curious to see if they actually fixed it this time, making flashsites work in the ingame browser.
Someone needs to release a Flash replacement. That crap seems to do nothing but cause problems.
@Dethdlr we all knew that is was flash but the fact that this would occur only when you had something else but IE installed surprises… Grats on finding that
Next: puffy cloud instead of feather :p
@Llenwyn: Yup. My fix was to create a file called user.js in the mozilla folder and put this one line inside it:
pref("plugin.scan.plid.all", false);
Disables Flash, Realplayer, and a few others but not everything. I'll be interested to see how they went about fixing it.
It's great that we have players within the community who actually know what they are doing – in so much that they embarrass Sony because they actually know how to fix things that either the people who work for the EQ2 Dev team are too incompetent to fix…or just too lazy.
I patched my browser using a similar fix to the one you just described Dethdlr. I got it off the official forums at least 6 months ago. As I am on my phone I can't find the source for it atm.
I just think it is very typical for SOE to leave a bug like this unfixed for so long, even though a fix/workaround has been created by their own customers. It must have been around for at least a year…
I got my info from here and then trial and error enabling and disabling things until I found which specific thing caused it to crash and what didn't: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin_scanning
I'm curious to see if the fix they put in uses the user.js file and if so, does it only include the one line, or does it go further and disable other plugins as well.
Someone needs to release a Flash replacement. That crap seems to do nothing but cause problems.
HTML5/CSS3, HTML5 , Silverlight, JavaFx… pick your poison.
Dethdlr is showcasing that SOE is willing to fix the bugs with detailed bug reports including reproducibility steps.
Actually, Taka, it seems to me more like SOE is willing to fix the bugs as long as someone else does all the work . . .
I hope they're paying you for this, Dethdlr, or at least compensating you. Yeah, yeah, you're helping to fix a game you like which makes it better for you, your friends and everyone . . .blah blah, I get it and thank you for it, but I'm paying THEM to fix this . . .
Here's waiting and hoping for the day Dethdlr and Feldon start up their own EQ2 server. I'll give them all my money, then I'll be able to play on a server where I know sh…tuff will get done.
I'm hoping they actually fixed it and not just patch the workaround many of us have been using since this starting happening. But I am sure they will just use the workaround which really isn't a workaround just setting an option.
Hmm..not sure they quite fixed it…I deleted Dethdlr's fix. Ran the patcher (Look like it updates xpti.dat file under mozilla/compenents), andi was still able to crash the game using the custom UI Zam button.
I will just leave your fix in for now.
@Dethdlr Actually you can thank me for the fix. I worked with a TSR MONTHS ago on this and pointed out the cause behind it.
Taka – OK. Someone needs to go around and execute people that are still using Flash on the Internet.
That's what I really meant to say.
And I was also the one that figured out that they were having pointer corruption causing CTD for players making them think it was a memory issue.
Way back in June of last year is where I reported what caused the browser crash:
And the TSR and other confirmed it. It was also wrote up by the TSR.

And yet it was not fixed until today, 48 hours after it had been independently reported to SOE by Dethdlr.
I'm not trying to start an argument, but with SOE, bugs get reported all the time with the exact steps needed to reproduce, and even fix. Sometimes it comes down to who sees it, when, and whether they have enough free time to fix it.
@Feldon Not to interrupt the cliche but if you read the thread the exact fix was posted in it after I posted the root cause. You have to remember this is a LOW PRIORITY fix according to Rothgar. They already knew about it and said it would be fixed. Months later, it's fixed. End of story.
@Deadcrickets: Sorry, but you're wrong. I don't doubt at all that you came up with a fix or that you talked to Rothgar or TSRs or anybody else. But then it got put on the shelf and forgotten about. That's not what got it fixed.
What got it fixed was me working with Zam, coming up with repro steps, and then coming up with a workaround (which it sounds like they didn't use so it's still broke anyway). The Zam folks, instead of detecting the in-game browser and turning off flash on their site as I suggested, decided to instead work directly with Zoltaroth to put the fix in place in the in-game browser.
If you want to see why it got fixed (IF it's fixed) now instead of June of last year, go read this thread on Zam: http://www.zam.com/forum.html?forum=19&mid=1330361606185652588
Its great that the ingame browser is fixed now (every so often I'd forget to connect to Zam on it), but as the above shows even detailed technical bug reports sent in do not result in a fix (Cheers everyone who did send in such reports though 🙂 ).
Although being optimistic perhaps with the new producer and change of devs perhaps they will get fixed now, I'll certainly be happy to put in time reporting everything I see error'd in the game if I think it'll actually get fixed.
@Dethdlr That's nice, and yet the fix that Zam came up with is exactly what we came up with months ago and they said they would implement. You seem to not understand how the browser is a LOW PRIORITY compared to a high priority item that requires a fix like the memory pointer corruption I got in.
@Deadcrickets: You seem to not understand that eight days ago, this was Zam's viewpoint of the problem:
I'm trying to get this looked at again, but I need information. None of us can reproduce it, and we can't troubleshoot what we can't reproduce.
What are you doing when it crashes? Are you using any custom UI? What link are you trying to click through to?
They couldn't reproduce it and didn't know what was causing it. This was eight days ago. Whatever you did last June was apparently forgotten.
Prior to you posting the link in comments here, I had never read the post you linked. So Zam forgot about it and I never heard of it. How that's taking credit for your work is beyond me. But if it makes you feel better, go ahead and believe that. I know the behind the scenes details of what happened during THIS round of troubleshooting the problem and I know that the Zam devs talked directly to Zoltaroth to get this implemented as a direct result of THIS round of troubleshooting. But if you want to believe that what you did last June just coincidentally made it to the top of that low priority list at exactly the same time, have at it. 🙂
Their fix seems to have fixed Zam at least for me. I looked into what changed and as Mortager mentioned, the xpti.dat file under mozilla/components was changed but I'm not sure that had anything to do with the fix. But they also made a single change to the all.js file in the mozilla/greprefs folder.
They changed this line:
pref("plugin.scan.plid.all", true);
to this line:
pref("plugin.scan.plid.all", false);
Looks VERY familiar. 🙂
Sony's biggest bug is its upper management and that needed to be replaced years ago.
March 6, 2012 @ 8:01 pm
Are they kidding us ? They could not reproduce this problem ?
Was it really so difficult to go to any website that has some embedded flash and have the browser crash on them.
Are they going to say they have only IE installed on their dev pc ?
I've removed some offensive comments. The issue is resolved. Let's move on.
lol you guys are funny. Many people have reported this fix, like many others we've reported them directly to a dev. If Deth or whoever finally got them to push it through then who cares as long as they get it fixed.
When did the tradeskill apprentices start showing what they are currently researching above their head? i dont see that in any of the notes or on this site.
I believe they've done that since the outset if you were to hover over your apprentice with your cursor. If they added it after the initial AoD launch it was very shortly thereafter.

NHTSA proposes child car seat changes
Call him a toting grandparent. Bruce Woodward of Tampa gets the privilege of driving his grandchildren around town during the week while their parents are working. But that also means buckling and unbuckling the kids into car seats with every stop.
Woodward was particularly interested in the latest testing for car seats that's focused on developing technology for side car collisions, not just head on crashes.
"Adults have the airbags for side impacts, and kids need similar protection," Woodward said. "They're looser and liable to get jerked around more."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a proposal to implement rules that will add side impact safety during the next three years.
"This proposal would save the lives of five children every single year, and prevent over 60 injuries each year," said David Friedman, acting director of the NHTSA.
While the numbers seem small, the agency said those were very conservative numbers, and that the effects of the new technology would be likely be much greater.
The NHTSA found that a significant number of crashes with injuries to children are not only head-on collisions, but also "t-bone" crashes. In particular, when vehicles are standing still at an intersection.
"I always get scared that somebody's going to hit me from the side or the back," said Karla Martinez, a Tampa mom with two kids. "All the crazy people who don't know how to drive."
The new seats would likely cost more, but for Martinez, that's a small price to pay for more safety for her children.
"It's a necessity. When you have a kid you have to make sacrifices for the kid."

Day 146: An End and A Beginning
September 23, 2015
Tentsite at Woody Pass (2649.2) to Manning Park – CANADA! (2668.7)
19.5 PCT miles today
2705.3 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 3,224 ft, – 5,956 ft
We did it!! We actually walked all the way from Mexico to Canada. The completion of this journey has left me speechless. There is no way to accurately put into words the amount of pride, joy, gratitude, and disbelief that I currently feel, but of course I will try. We woke this morning to some of the best views that we've had since the High Sierras and the final 12 miles that we hiked to the Northern Terminus at the U.S./Canada border flew by. After that, another 8 miles delivered us into the arms of Mama Bear and the warmth and comfort of a restaurant and room at Manning Park's lodge. We thoroughly enjoyed our third day in a row of crisp, clear blue skies and, in looking back on today, could not have asked for a better ending to this adventure.
Day 145: The PCT is for Lovers
September 22, 2015
Tentsite and spring after Glacier Pass (2624.2) to Tentsite at Woody Pass (2649.2)
25.0 PCT miles today
2685.8 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 5,400 ft, – 5,426 ft
It is absolutely crazy that tomorrow is our last day on the PCT, and tonight is our last night. All of today was spent trying to process this fact, with varying emotions and thoughts as the result. I thought it was a somewhat more challenging day, with the miles dragging more than usual and my foot pain screaming at me to stop, but Pickles loved every minute of today, and used his positivity to keep me going and get us in our miles.
Day 144: Passing Through the North Cascades
September 21, 2015
Tentsite at Porcupine Creek (2601.3) to Tentsite and spring after Glacier Pass (2624.2)
22.9 PCT miles today
2660.8 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 5,318 ft, – 4,225 ft
Today was easily one of our best days in Washington. Turns out that when you can see what's around you, Washington is actually a beautiful state. When we fell asleep last night it was raining outside our tent, but when we woke this morning, the rain had stopped and we thought we could see some significant patches of blue peaking through the thick forest canopy above our heads. We began climbing up above tree line, and within minutes we were above the low-lying clouds and surrounded by bright blue skies and crisp, brilliant morning sunlight. We looked around ourselves and for the first time in quite a while, became giddy from the beauty of our surroundings. The higher we climbed, the more layers of sharp, rocky mountains could be seen, and the happier Pickles and I became. Fortunately this was only the beginning, and we ended up spending almost the entire day climbing up and over numerous passes, all with mind-blowing views of the North Cascades.
Day 143: Rain at Rainy Pass
September 20, 2015
High Bridge Ranger Station – Stehekin (2580.0) to Tentsite at Porcupine Creek (2601.3)
21.3 PCT miles today, 2 non-PCT miles today
2637.9 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 5,729 ft, – 2,177 ft
Today marked the start of our final section on the PCT, from Stehekin to Manning Park. We now have less than 70 miles until the end, and it feels more real and exciting and scary and sad than ever before. Today actually went almost too well. I was going to say that if things continue this way then I won't want the hike to end after all, but within the last hour the rain has come back in full force and so I am once again reminded of why I'll be excited to get to Canada.
Day 142: Hike Your Own Hike
September 19, 2015 (27th Re-Ration – Stehekin)
Tentsite at Glacier Creek (2567.8) to High Bridge Ranger Station – Stehekin (2580.0)
12.2 PCT miles today
2614.6 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 838 ft, – 2,826 ft
We got into Stehekin, our very last re-ration on the PCT, early this afternoon. The 12-mile hike in was all downhill or flat and went by relatively quickly, but left us sopping wet as we plowed through dense overgrowth covered in last night's rain and this morning's dew. We had blue skies for about an hour this morning, something we celebrated with much ado, but by the time we reached the road to Stehekin, the blue had once again been replaced by Washington's standard matte white. While we waited for the shuttle into town to arrive, we anxiously ate our lunch and chatted with a group of hikers who were just passing through on their way to Rainy Pass and a re-ration in Mazama. We hadn't met Green Man, Van Gogh, Snake Bait and Rocket Man until a couple days ago, but we enjoyed seeing them again and learning a bit more about their stories. Much of today was spent in the company of fellow hikers, all of us eager and excited to finally be within 100 miles of Canada. As we made our way into Stehekin, ate lots of yummy food, and got all cleaned up for the final push, my mind kept going back to the diverse experiences each hiker has had on this trail. I think that 2,600 miles in, I finally understand the true meaning of the phrase "hike your own hike".
Day 141: Putting the PCT Into Words
September 18, 2015
Tentsite at Vista Creek (2544.8) to Tentsite at Glacier Creek (2567.8)
23.0 PCT miles today
2602.4 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 5,838 ft, – 6,178 ft
Any blogger will tell you that keeping a daily blog is truly a labor of love. And doing so while simultaneously hiking every day from Mexico to Canada takes it to a whole new level. My entire PCT experience has been so enriched by this daily public story telling, but like anything worth doing, it hasn't always been easy. There have been more nights than I can count where all I wanted to do was sleep, but still somehow had to muster the energy to write. I've driven Pickles and Mama Bear crazy with my insistence on an hour of silence at some point in every day so a I could blog. Then there's the whole process of getting the blogs posted, which often led to stressed-out mountain-top flurries of work. However, despite all the extra time and effort this blog has demanded, it has turned out to be a cherished and precious gift that I couldn't imagine going without while on this journey. It has helped me sort out thoughts and feelings at the end of every day, has brought us new friends and a whole arsenal of encouraging words and motivation, and more than anything, has become a detailed record of this adventure that I know Pickles and I will look back on for years to come.
Day 140: The Beginning of the End
September 17, 2015
Tentsite before White Chuck Trail Junction (2521.6) to Tentsite at Vista Creek (2544.8)
23.2 PCT miles today
2579.4 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 7,511 ft, – 7,824 ft
This morning we ate our last Thursday morning breakfast. We packed up our tent for the last time on a Thursday and even took our final Thursday poo. It is hard to process everything that goes on out here on the trail, but today we made it very clear to ourselves and everyone around us that we have exactly one week left on the PCT. And it's a good thing too, because our gear, bodies, and psyches all seem to be breaking down to some extent under the harsh conditions of Washington. Today was easily one of our most challenging days on the entire trail, so we found it especially helpful to know that no matter how hard of a Thursday it might have been, it was also our last Thursday, and that made it worth all the pain and exhaustion.
Day 139: Things Just Got Interesting
September 16, 3015
Tentsite before Bench Mark Mountain Junction (2498.2) to Tentsite before White Chuck Trail Junction (2521.6)
23.4 PCT miles today
2556.2 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 5,580 ft, – 6,702 ft
The sky today was white, not blue like we're used to, but we didn't dare complain because for the second day in a row, it didn't rain on us. We woke this morning to a bitter cold, our little thermometer said it was about 34 degrees out, and hiked through the first half of the day half frozen and half asleep. As our conversations and thoughts have begun to run out of fresh material, we've depended more heavily on our surroundings to help the days go by, and today was not doing it for us. We felt bored and then guilty for being bored, because maybe we were just so jaded after almost 5 months of hiking that an area that others have raved about can barely hold our interest. But then, in the afternoon, everything changed. We had officially entered Glacier Peak Wilderness in the morning, but it took about 10 miles for us to climb above tree line and finally behold the epic and inspiring views that we had been told about.
Day 138: A Nice Change of Pace
September 15, 2015
Steven's Pass – Skykomish (2476.0) to Tentsite before Bench Mark Mountain Junction (2498.2)
22.2 PCT miles today
2532.8 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 5,609 ft, – 4,853 ft
I am excited to announce that it finally feels like we have come to the end of our hike. Today was the first day that we truly felt the end was near, and it added a little bounce to our step. This morning we packed up and got back on trail by 8am, but we were armed with a whole new plan, and most importantly new daily mileages, which eased some of our anxiety and brought back the joy of hiking. Instead of pulling 25's all the way to Canada with a couple neros thrown in, we're finishing just one day later than planned, and not forcing ourselves to do anything more than 22 miles a day. This may seem like a little change, but it has made a big difference.
Day 137: A Mandatory Zero
September 14, 2015
Steven's Pass – Skykomish (2476.0)
0 PCT miles today
2510.6 miles total
Today's Elevation Gain/Loss: + 0 ft, – 0 ft
Sometimes it takes getting well to realize just how unwell you were feeling. I woke this morning feeling less than rested and still experiencing the extreme bodily and mental fatigue that reduced me to a useless rag doll last night. I tried hard to pull myself together and take on some of our "nero day" responsibilities, but when Mama Bear announced that we needed to be checked out of our room by 11am, I lost it. The very thought of going back out into the elements, let alone finding the energy to take a shower and pack everything back up, was more than I could handle. I fell on the mercy of Mama Bear and Pickles and within minutes it was decided that today would be a zero. I crawled back into bed, flooded with relief, and let my mom and fiancé take over for a few hours while I napped.

Welcome to my website.
I am an author of fiction literature and inside I hope you will find a few things of interest. My stories usually are on science fiction or fantasy but include a healthy dose on relationships between the characters.
Also on the website is a blog, where I'll give a short rambling of the topic of the week. I promise not to rant too much.
I like photography and I've included some images that you can look at. I plan to change the images occasionally so if you like what you see come back occasionally and view the new ones.
Finally there will be a contest for those who like that sort of thing and I shall try to make it as fun as possible.
Kind regards,

Lost in a Sea of Cars? What Indianapolis Car Buyers Can Do
When you're thinking about buying a car, it's easy to lose focus because of the sheer number of varieties on the market. After all, cars are produced in vast quantities in just about every continent in the world. A lot of Americans, however, focus on well-loved brands from a country known for producing quality cars.
Asian car manufacturers are growing fast, thanks to the demand from consumers all over the world. Cars produced by Japanese manufacturers are especially in high demand because of their reliability and durability. Japanese cars are exported to nearly every corner of the world, and continuous innovations in automotive technology make Japanese cars some of the most convenient and efficient models on the planet.
Buying Japanese-made cars offers several benefits. Japanese car makers raise the bar on fuel-efficient car technology, so to speak. In addition, they make durable cars that require less maintenance, thus equating to lower maintenance costs. These cars also tend to retain their value longer, which makes it easier to sell them when the need arises.
One of the more well-known Japanese car manufacturers is the Mazda Motor Corporation. Known for their efficient four-door sedans and their significant efforts to reintroduce hatchback cars into the auto market, Mazda is fast becoming one of the more trusted car brands in the world. In particular, the Mazda 3 series is considered top of the line in terms of safety, cab size, performance, and cost-efficiency.
Indianapolis Mazda car buyers don't need to search high and low to get the model they want, since just about every car dealership in the state sells Mazda cars. You can opt to buy a brand-new car or even a used one—which doesn't carry the same risks as they did in previous decades. Used cars undergo stringent inspection and certification processes to ensure they are in tiptop condition before turnover. Even better, top dealers usually have certified pre-owned vehicles that normally carry manufacturer warranties.
Another Japanese car brand that you might want to consider is Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi dealers Indianapolis residents trust offer a good selection from this revered car maker, especially their top-of-the-line SUVs like the Montero which has gained a solid reputation among auto enthusiasts all over the world.
Reliable Mazda and Mitsubishi Indianapolis dealers sell the best new and used car models from these manufacturers. If you want to learn more about specific models, you can visit CarandDriver.com.

In August of last year, I wrote about landscaping your yard with butterfly plants. A reader then asked me to name my five favorite butterfly plants. I responded, "That is like asking me to choose a favorite child! Each child is loved for who they are as unique individuals."
To add to this, when it comes to plants, what thrives in my garden may not do well for you, and the colors I enjoy may not be your favorites.
Plants are, to me, a highly personal choice. That said, here are three genera that offer a number of attractive butterfly plants.
For exquisite fragrance in your yard, you can't beat the milkweeds. Asclepias is the genus that offers us two sturdy, desert-dwelling milkweeds. Technically, these two are perennial plants since they are not woody like shrubs, although they could be used in the landscape as either low shrubs or blooming plants.
Asclepias linaria, the pine-leaf milkweed, and Asclepias subulata, the desert milkweed, are the two milkweeds to choose from. Pine-leaf milkweed does best if it gets light shade in the summer, so site this one in an east-facing yard or under a palo verde tree, where it will get filtered light.
The desert milkweed is like a bundle of chartreuse green sticks that flare out like a vase, and then they bloom. The plant will have clouds of butterflies, especially if you do a mass planting of them so there is ample nectar available.
Fairy Dusters/Calliandra
Fairy dusters are delightful. There are two species of these desert shrubs that grow well in our area. Calliandra californica, the Baja fairy duster, has lovely red puffs for blooms, while its shorter cousin, Calliandra eriophylla, the desert fairy duster, offers pink blooms.
The desert fairy duster is a spring bloomer and grows to 2 feet by 2 feet. The Baja fairy duster may bloom year-round if you provide extra water and don't let it freeze. Depending on the seed stock, these plants may reach 5 feet by 5 feet.
The Dalea genus offers a number of marvelous species that grow well in our area. The species mentioned here can take full sun and, once established, some drought, although all will look much better and bloom more prolifically with additional water.
Daleas are in the Legume family, and this means that you should never fertilize them, a nice bonus. Another bonus is that unlike many other members of the Legume family, Dalea seed pods are fragile and small, and do not pose a litter problem for homeowners.
First, two groundcovers. Dalea capitata, the golden dalea, forms a low, creeping ground cover with yellow blooms and brighter green foliage than its cousin Dalea greggii, the trailing indigo bush with mounding silvery foliage and lavender blooms.
Then there are a number of shrubby daleas. Dalea fructescens, the black dalea, has lovely, rosy-purple blooms in fall and winter. It grows to 3 feet by 4 feet. Dalea lutea, the yellow-flowered dalea, is a slightly shorter shrub, reaching around 3 feet by 3 feet in size.
Dalea pulchra – the indigo bush or bush dalea – is a dense, rugged shrub spreading to 3 feet by 5 feet with tufts of purple blooms. Dalea wislizenii is new to the trade and lacks a common name. This dalea has a more light and airy form with bright green foliage and rose-purple blooms. Reaching 4 feet by 4 feet, this shrub does well with some filtered shade.
Another new dalea in the nursery trade is "Mountain Delight" dalea (Dalea versicolor var. sessilis cv. "Mountain Delight"), a nice screening shrub that reaches 4 feet by 4 feet and has pretty purple blooms.
All of these lovely butterfly plants can be planted right now through mid-October, so I do hope you will consider visiting one of our wonderful local nurseries to pick out some for your yard.
Jacqueline A. Soule, Ph.D., has been writing about gardening in the Southwest for close to three decades. Her latest book, "Father Kino's Herbs: Growing and Using Them Today" ($14.95), is available at area nurseries. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

'A new study was just announced in mainstream media declaring the bra-cancer link does not exist. The study looked into the bra wearing habits of women ages 55 and older who had all worn bras since puberty. They concluded that women should be "reassured" that bras are not causing breast cancer.
Actually, this study supports the bra-cancer link, since all the women in the cancer group were bra wearers.
In addition, the study is useless since none of the women in the study were bra-free, so it lacks a proper control for examining bra wearing impacts. No bra-free baseline.
They also did not look at bra tightness, which is a major factor in the bra-cancer link, which is about tight bras causing lymphatic constriction.
It is curious why the authors deliberately ignored the findings of a Harvard study (Eur J Cancer) which also found that PRE-menopausal women who were bra-wearers had over 100% increased incidence of breast cancer compared to bra free women.'

This one is a real heartbreaker.
Popular doorslammer racer Keith Berry, who spent the better part of two seasons transforming his eight-second, IRS-equipped C5 Corvette into a state-of-the-art, twin turbocharged Outlaw Drag Radial car, went for quite a ride this morning during a mid-week test session at the Maryland International Raceway in preparation for this weekend's Shakedown Nationals in Englishtown.
Video credit: The Racing Vids
Berry's Corvette, running in the left lane, took an abrupt and sharp turn to the left just beyond the sixty-foot marker and nosed hard into the concrete jersey barrier. Fortunately, the car glanced off the wall after the initial impact and spun to a stop, effectively minimizing the damage to just the nose. There has been some discussion that an axle failure may be to blame, although nothing has been confirmed. Most importantly however, Berry was uninjured in the excursion. The immaculate Corvette on the other hand, which made its debut just two weeks ago in Georgia, will need some body work before Berry and the WOOOO! crew can get back on track.
In other news out of Maryland, Outlaw 10.5 kingpin Tim Lynch and longtime tuner Steve Petty laid down the gauntlet in a big way this morning, cracking off the quickest (albeit unofficial) Outlaw 10.5 pass ever at 4.02 seconds and just over 192 mph. Lynch, in his stunning Proline-powered 2010 Corvette, reeled off a stout 4.08 at 190 and change in testing on Wednesday before turning up the wick today.
Records are expected to fall this weekend in Englishtown, and if the Lynch Mob's numbers are any indication of what's in store, the Shakedown Nationals could be a race for the ages. Dragzine will be in the house at Raceway Park all weekend, and if records fall, we'll be here to bring you the story.

In Sunday's newspaper, we reported that the town of Colonie is looking to revamp its law to get more money out of wireless phone companies.
The consultant hired by the town argues that communities have long let wireless companies rig lease agreements to their benefit and not taxpayers'. The phone companies reply that they pay fair market value and upping the income would force higher fees on cell phone users.
We took a look at leases in seven different Capital Region communities. Here's what we found.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Lawmakers' efforts to crack down on the use of Indiana tanning beds this year are part of a national push to limit young people's exposure to risks that include skin cancer.
Indiana is one of 33 states that regulate tanning. The state currently requires parental or guardian supervision for anyone under 16 to use tanning beds. Those ages 17 and 18 need permission to go to a tanning salon alone.
That could change under a bill that passed the House last week and is headed back to the Senate for one last review.
This year's bill from Sen. Patricia Miller, R-Indianapolis, represents a compromise after a measure last year that would have barred everyone under age 18 from using tanning salons failed. Miller's current bill limits the ban to those under 16.
Supporters say the measure is a good first step, while opponents say it goes too far.
"We're headed in the right direction," said Dr. Lawrence Mark, an Indiana University skin cancer expert. "This is one step getting the foot in the door."
Nearly every state has moved to restrict or ban tanning among minors since California and then Vermont banned tanning for anyone under 18 in 2012.
Lawmakers in Iowa, where a ban failed last year, are taking another run at it this year.
"People are paying a little bit more attention to it," said Iowa Rep. Lisa Heddens, a Democrat. "There's more awareness out there, so it's getting a little more traction because of the issue."
Heddens' bill hasn't made it to a full House vote this year, although a similar bill is under Senate review. She says lawmakers are wary of placing more regulations on businesses.
Marcy DeShong, who owns several Bronze Bay Tanning salons in Indiana, said she isn't worried about losing business because most of her customers are 17 or 18.
DeShong and national lobbyists such as the Indoor Tanning Association have other issues with the bill, including concerns that it steps on parents' toes.
Others say the bill doesn't go far enough and likely won't be as effective if it only targets tanners younger than 16.
"They call it progress because something's done versus nothing," said Amanda Estridge, director of Indiana government relations for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. "Moving a weak law forward, we see that as unjust."
Indianapolis resident Deena Albin, 41, wants to ban tanning for anyone under 21. She was diagnosed with skin cancer when she was pregnant with her second child, five months after she ramped up her tanning routine to get the perfect glow for her wedding.
"Kids that who are 16 or 18 really just don't have that thought process," said Albin, who is now cancer-free. "Some parents just do whatever their kids want them to do so they can be cool."
Criticism from both sides means lawmakers working to pass the ban must walk a careful line between pressing regulations too far and not pressing hard enough.
"I, for one am not someone who likes to limit people's choices," said bill sponsor Rep. Dennis Zent, R-Angola. But "we need regulation that's proven to be effective."
