I have a real crush on this shop. I didn't just find out about this duo either, I've
known of this father daughter team for quite a while, not sure why it took me this long
to post them. The shop is almost always sold out, good for them, and stocked with the
finest array of handmade spoons, pedestals and rolling pins. I can honestly say that I
would clear my kitchen of cooking utensils to have just a handful of these fine
The blog is worthwhile too.

I try to read the comments on each of the posts as a matter of routine, because I find I can always learn plenty about this stuff along with you on a game by game basis. I am by no means an expert on this - just someone who really loves learning more about how a game plan can lead to victory or defeat.
But, I still miss plenty. So, On Tuesday's Decoding Garrett piece where we broke down several plays, Ed in California commented that I missed a key situation from the 4th Quarter in Houston:
I would have liked for you to have shown the 63-yard touchdown to Roy W. and contrast that play with the very first play of that same scoring drive so that everyone can appreciate what the defense was trying to react to on the TD play. First play of that drive is a draw play to Barber for a decent gain. Same personnel, same formation, same TE motion. It's interesting to note because Garrett does have a tendency to run the same play multiple times within a single drive. This time the Cowboys use that tendency to their advantage by throwing out of a formation that they had run from just a few plays prior.
Then, when I was listening to Texans' Coach Gary Kubiak on Monday, he peeled back another layer of the onion that fascinated me even further. So, Ed, let's do it - let's go back to Sunday one more time. I think what you are about to see is that the Cowboys have plenty of brains in their offensive brain trust:
Play #1 - 1/10/26 - "12" personnel - Cowboys run a pretty standard Pass/Run Delay Draw option that we see from them as they start a drive with an 11 point 4th Quarter lead. Both teams are thinking the Cowboys are going to try to kill off the clock here and move the chains through power running. Roy Williams is split to the right, Miles Austin to the left. Martellus Bennett is flexed to the left, and Jason Witten motions from the backfield to the left, too. The Texans see all of this as an intent to run left of course. Notice the Texans in presnap. The have 7 in the box, but look at their Strong Safety 31-Pollard as he does not sneak up to stop the run. He actually sits on a slant to Roy Williams before he breaks off and heads for Barber at the handoff. The other safety 26-Wilson is so deep that he is not on the TV screen. Also watch 65-Gurode as he is getting down the field to take on Linebackers at the 2nd level. This is a very standard Cowboys play that you will see every week.
Play #2 - 2/10/43 - "12" personnel - 4 snaps later, the Cowboys have set the bait. And now we see the Texans take the bait. Compare plays #1 and #2. If you are Benny Pollard or Eugene Wilson (the safeties) you just saw this exact formation and motion. You know that the ball is going to Barber again. But here is why this play is extra interesting to me - all of the Cowboys blockers think Barber is going to get the ball, too. Watch Austin, Witten, and Gurode again. They are all run blocking. Gurode is so sure this is a run play that he is way downfield (risking a penalty that could have fairly been given).
This demonstrates how Garrett and Romo design the offense. It is based on Romo's read. He reads the safeties on this play and again we see that the design is based on taking what the Texans concede. After seeing the first play, look how Pollard lines up on the 2nd play. There is an 8th man in the box. The Texans will not allow the draw play to work again. And that is why Romo saw 31 sneak up. He will not be able to jump the slant this time, so Romo and Roy know what they are supposed to do based on film study and practice. To make matters worse for Houston, the corner slips to the ground and the free safety (26-Wilson) looks like he is limping down the field.
It doesn't always work this easily, but this shows how one play sets up another in the NFL.
Watch Play #2 all the way through because I have edited the audio of Kubiak on to the replay about :40 in. He walks you through the entire play from the opposition perspective. Deconstructing NFL games is like treasure hunting sometimes. There is so much to sift through but there are fascinating chess games being played all over the field.

Hey, every tinytruck lover everywhere!
As usual, I like to discuss, so here's a thread for us SBG lovers to chat about axle stuff, and I'll show off and talk about our new GCM Axle sets called TM8!
We decided to copy the real linked coil sprung trucks we build or would like to build in a more realistic way with this round of axle designs, so, please welcome the coil bucket and split shock design! Yay!
Not enough for your build? We will now offer bolt on leaf spring varieties as well, with shock mount tabs for long and short shocks, ready for your build preferences!
There's a ton of variety of trucks out there, so why not make axles that fit as many as possible, make them small for great clearance, use strong internal parts, and small enough for tire tuck on the vast majority of our truck builds?
We agree.
Here's a showcase of the 7 varieties of axles we will be including in the lineup:
We have here right and left front axle housings, using a 178mm wide hex measurement outside to outside, Leaf spring or Split Coil bucket offerings, Rear leaf spring or Split Coil bucket designs, and of course the odd ball offset rear Toyota coil spring rear end as well. All our leaf spring spacing will direct fit any of the RC4wd leaf spring spaced axles you're already used to seeing in the industry, and can be used to replace leaf spring axles with only 4 bolts and a driveshaft.
We are confident we can offer a solid and small axle with great performance, thanks to using Vaterra great steering knuckles, and CVD geometry (although in a proprietary GCM CVD and straight shaft design) with 8 degree anti-scrub angle and 4 degrees of front castor built in to the housings already. Add that to a new 8 bolt diff cover that also captures the bearing seats for the locker unit, also derived from the proven #tinytruck Vaterra Ascender lineup, and we've got a small axle set that will hold up to comp use, and still tuck in your tires very well with solid reliable steel parts inside.
Showoff parts coming soon!

YouTube has launched a brand-new NBA Channel (warning: Ahmad Rashad ahead) that will feature game highlights and other original content uploaded by the NBA, as well as videos shared by YouTube users. Users will be encouraged to continue uploading NBA videos to YouTube. The top "Post Up the NBA" (e.g., user-submitted) videos each week will be compiled into a weekly "NBA Top 10 on YouTube" highlight reel that will be broadcast on the league's cable NBA Channel. Users will be able to rate the "Post Up" videos.
The latest partnership between Google and the NBA goes beyond YouTube, however. NBA video will be syndicated across Google's AdSense network, enabling publishers to receive video clips from NBA games. The syndication deal is a temporary one, with both entities evaluating its effectiveness after a test run.
Those of you who recall the launch of Google Video will remember that the NBA was one of the company's first partners. NBA games and highlights were available at the Google Video Store at launch, but the user experience fell short. Footage for some games started in the middle of the first quarter, while other games had unexpected gapsnot a good thing when users were paying $4.99 to watch the videos.
Although users are encouraged to upload NBA video to YouTube, the NBA still has the option of removing material. The NBA will use YouTube's "Claim Your Content" screening system to identify and report videos that infringe on the NBA's copyrights. Instead of requesting that videos be taken down, however, the NBA will have the option of taking a cut of any advertising revenue generated by the clips.
The NBA and the NHL are now the only two major US sports leagues to sign content deals with YouTube. The NFL and Major League Baseball appear to be more concerned with keeping absolute control over their content, while the NBA and NHL are embracing user-generated video as a way of expanding their fan base.

The State of California defines a new model for cloud services in government.
Faster Service Levels
Products & Solutions
- Clustered Data ONTAP
- Cloud Solutions
State of California
Cloud computing strategy boosts service levels 70% and sets new standards for IT.
California is the eighth largest economy in the world, and protecting the state's resources is a responsibility that impacts not only the people of California, but people around the world. Since developing an internal private cloud solution built on NetApp, the California Natural Resources Agency has become a model for government cloud computing.
Demand for services continues to grow while capital and operational expenditures for overall agency information technology have dropped 42% and 35%, respectively. The massive cloud computing deployment at CNRA has also transformed decision-making by breaking down information silos and enabling horizontal access to data across departments.
With California facing its worst drought on record, the change could not have come at a better time. At the Department of Water Resources, fast access to more than 100 years of data—on everything from water flows and soil erosion to climate change and population growth—is critical to keeping the water flowing. The new shared-services infrastructure has tripled the agency's data storage capacity, giving engineers, scientists, hydrologists, and external stakeholders on-demand access to current and historical data for projections and forecasting. "With our old systems, it could take up to 30 days to load the data they needed," explains Tony Morshed, chief operation officer at the Department of Water Resources. "In a crisis situation like this one, our customers can't wait 30 days for data. They need that data today to know what to do tomorrow."
About this Customer
The California Natural Resources Agency consists of 29 departments whose mission is to restore, protect, and manage the state's natural, historical, and cultural resources for current and future generations using creative approaches and solutions based on technology, science, and collaboration.

Data Recovery Off Clicking Disk
Posted 21 July 2011 - 09:55 PM
Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong section. I couldn't find anything more appropriate other than the data is on a Vista Machine.
Ok so I get a call this afternoon and some douche slammed his laptop lid shut in a tantrum and now the thing doesn't boot. He's desperate for the data. I said I'd take a look.
Usually I can do enough to recover the data in these cases, but this is a real challenge and thought I'd share my experience so far and offer up for more expert advice.
It's a good case to really see how far I try and recover it before telling the person they give up hope or spend serious cash at a professional HDD recovery outfit.
1.) Vista recovery CD - boots - loads - hangs on green progress bars. Has to be powered off. Tried ISO from USB also. Also tried Original Vista Disc. Same.
2.) Parted Magic - boots ok - sees HDD - computers hangs trying to access anything off the HDD. Has to be powered off.
3.) Toshiba Diagnostic tool - reports FAIL.
4.) Live XP - same as "2". Any attempt to open explorer or browse the HDD - hangs the PC to the point reboot required.
5.) **In Progress** DDRESCUE /dev/sda /dev/sdc from Trinity Rescue Kit Console 3.4
sda being trouble HDD sdb being external USB size greater than sda to avoid issues.
Now...it's been running all night, and when I check it, I can hear the fateful clicking sound of a "goosed" HDD. However checking later, it's logged errors but actually moved on a bit. So although stalling terribley, bit by bit it's copying the data.
Sometimes so slow though I feel it could run for days. Although if I'm lucky it should have a good run and finish during the night.
I haven't slaved the disk into another PC because a) it's a flipping SONY VIAO and the HDD is hidden away out of sight!!!! And also last time I saw this behaviour, slaving it up killed any machine that it was connected to.
If this fails what else can I try. PS My Freezer is FULL of PRWANS LOL
Many thanks look forward to the masters advice as always
Posted 22 July 2011 - 12:52 PM
- Disassemble the thingy.
- Get the HD in a USB case or connected as "slave" to "a working machine".
- Image it partially if you cannot do it as a whole.
This tool has the ability of imaging "backwards" that in some cases help:
If the problem is not solved (at least for the part of data REALLY *needed*) by the above, that pretty much ends your available options.
Posted 22 July 2011 - 01:26 PM
How bad is the clicking by the way?
Posted 22 July 2011 - 01:59 PM
Then a diagnostic of the drive and evaluation of possile defects, which can cause this specific problem.
Preparing a recovery plan. (What to try, in which order, to maximize chaces of success, while minimizing chances to further damage the data.)
Since you stated the removal fom the laptop as already being a problem, i would stick in your case with only simple software recovery.
However, i would only ever touch a broken drive, if the owner of the disk would give it to me, in the writing, that he likes to have the data back, but can also live without it.
'Click of Death' is when the drive can not initialize anymore, because the firmware can't be read, for some reason.
If any of the heads is riped off, one can hear a grinding sound, as the arm 'removes the data' from the platter.
PS: Whatever you do, Technotika, do not turn off the laptop in between. There's a good chance, you won't get access to the HDD again.
Posted 22 July 2011 - 02:12 PM
Since the thingy was already rebooted n times by now, I doubt that this is any more probable that it is on *any* machine *any* time.
PS: Whatever you do, Technotika, do not turn off the laptop in between. There's a good chance, you won't get access to the HDD again.
Running a disk intensive application on a failing drive in a notebook (please read in an almost sealed case with very little possibilities to cool down) is on the contrary (and as always IMHO) a far greater risk .
Posted 22 July 2011 - 02:29 PM
There is a difference between rebooting and turning the computer fully off, in my experience. However Technotika does not specify.
Since the thingy was already rebooted n times by now, I doubt that this is any more probable that it is on *any* machine *any* time.
Agree with you on the second part. That its 'less than ideal' to do the recovery in the laptop. Not only is the cooling questionable, more importantly, one can't hear the noises the drives makes clearly.
Posted 22 July 2011 - 02:41 PM
Well, not that you can do much about them once you hear them clearly but surely having it inside the notebook prevents poorman's tricks like "percussive maintenance" :
Not only is the cooling questionable, more importantly, one can't hear the noises the drives makes clearly.
and rotating/orientating the device in space (that even if seemingly stoopid does solve sometimes a few problems)
Posted 22 July 2011 - 03:45 PM
I managed to get 130 gbs passed across to a bigger disk in an external caddy. And I think I got most of the stuff the guy wants although some (well alot) of the photo's are corrupted; the thumbnails dont populate
and even ones that do when you open them are just black.
So I have something.....for now.
I have also since seen that getting the disk out isn't too difficult so may try further things but as it goes I think its as good as I'm going to get.
Can try percussive once out and also recovering from the other end of the disk - cheers wonks
What I'm finding is that lets say the disk is 200GB's the DDRESCUE borks at about 130 (stays on that for hours).
Then what I am doing is stick the caddy containing the working disk that has been rescued to into my windows BOX where it says "disk nor formatted bla blah" you need to format.
I ignore that and run something called "get data back for NTFS" on the drive and it seems to do the job.
I was wondering if this can be improved on. Because It failed 1/2 way through, the partion structure isnt complete on the cloned disk.
Should I be doing something else before sticking the USB external clone of the failed HDD into a nother PC and getting the data off.
Like running TESTDISK for example to re write the partion table and maybe improve recovery etc?
Posted 22 July 2011 - 05:22 PM
Image the disk in "sections".
A suitable size to start with is, if the overall size is (say) 500 Gb, 50 Gb (or 1/10th of the disk size).
So you image:
When you get stuck (in your example at 130 Gb), you jump over the "section" (leave it for later) and image:
Let's, for the sake of this example, say that also 150÷200 is inaccessible/slow/whatever, stop the imaging and go for the rest:
Still for the sake of the example, let's assume that all the rest goes well.
Now you have 8 "sections" out of 10.
Divide the 100÷150 in two sub-sections:
of these the first one will be imaged successfully and the second won't.
Before you had 8/10 of the disk=16/20, now you have 17/20.
Now divide the 150÷200 in two sub-sections:
of this (let's say) the first one will fail, but the second will be imaged successfully.
Before you had 17/20, now you have 18/20.
Try imaging the second problematic section BACKWARDS:
175÷150, if you are lucky, you may get some 20 Gb (or 4/5 of the subsection)
Before you had 18/20=90/100 now you have 94/100.
Try imaging the first problematic section forward:
125÷150, if you are lucky, you may get some 5 Gb (or 1/5 of the subsection)
Before you had 94/100 now you have 95/100.
So if you mentally reassemble the "bits and pieces" you should have in the range 100÷200 something looking like this, with a "-" meaning a good 5 Gb "chunk" and a "*" meaning a missing 5 Gb one:
Now, simply create an empty file the EXACT size of the "******" and reassemble the sections together in the right order.
Now you have an image that is 95/100 like the original one, and is the right size.
On this image you then run Recovery oriented apps.
Posted 25 July 2011 - 03:40 PM
I left DDRESCUE chuntering away all weekend and came back today to see it had finished the main job
data recovered 200GN
iops 137
io 137
splitting error's zones
big error counts etc
any way nothing was happening on the external disk so I closed it down and attached the external disk to my machine at work and like magic auto play kicked in and let me open the disk as normal
(no format errors or anything) and got everything back.
Cracking stuff although I don't know what was more painful, all that, or reinstalling vista and its 1 million updates.!!!
Thanks again

Should trolleys – now re-christened as "light rail" – return to 42nd Street for the first time since they were replaced by buses 59 years ago? The idea, which has been around for at least two decades, was approved by the City Council in 1994 but died when then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani withdrew his initial support.
A private group of urban and transportation planners and architects, calling itself vision42, resurfaced the idea of a 42nd Street light rail line recently with the release of a set of planning and economic reports. The reports, funded by an anonymous donor, set out an ambitious vision for 42nd Street as a tree-lined, pedestrian-friendly enclave running from river to river. Train tracks would be installed on a landscaped pedestrian boulevard. Unlike the 1990s plan approved by the City Council, the street would be closed to traffic. Futuristic low-floor light rail vehicles would replace taxis, buses, trucks and cars that now dominate the street. This famous east-west artery in Manhattan would join Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn and Nassau Street in lower Manhattan as car-free streets.
Making The Dollars And Cents Argument
While all of this might sound much too nice to be New York, the advocates of the proposal, which would cost up to a half billion dollars to construct, make a dollars and cents case for light rail on 42nd Street. They start by computing time savings gained from replacing buses with light rail. A commuter traveling from the Port Authority Bus Terminal to Fifth Avenue, for example, would save up to five minutes on their commute.
In Manhattan, time is money. Office and commercial space that is closer to transit lines is more valuable than space further away. That simple observation is the basis for Mayor Bloomberg's proposal to extend the #7 train to the West Side. Time savings from a 42nd Street trolley would mean that property values for owners of offices, retail stores, residential buildings and vacant lots would increase by a whopping $3.5 billion, according to the economic study prepared by the consulting firm Urbanomics. The largest benefits would occur between First and Third Avenues, with property values also rising along Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
Rising property values are also good for New York City and New York State, which are projected to take in $277 million in additional taxes annually from property, personal income, corporate franchise and commercial rent taxes.
An illustration of the "light rail."
The vision42 group presented the light rail studies at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square earlier this month. Questions about the studies came primarily from area residents who were concerned about increased traffic on surrounding streets and access to parking garages.
The traffic study projected that traffic impacts would be greatest west of Sixth Avenue on 40th Street and 44th Street during the morning rush hour. These streets would absorb traffic from the Lincoln Tunnel and West Side Highway that now uses 42nd Street. During the afternoon rush hour, traffic impacts would be heaviest on Eighth and Tenth Avenue with some but lesser impacts on 40th, 43rd and 44th Streets.
Notably, area residents took little note of possible benefits to them, which would be especially pronounced to those who live several blocks from the nearest subway line -- perhaps in part because presentations focused on benefits to commuters.
The primary construction cost is moving the utilities that lie underneath the street. As one might imagine, 42nd Street is not only a main conduit for traffic but also for sewer, water, telephone, electrical and gas lines. There are even abandoned trolley ducts under the pavement. Utilities need to be moved so that future utility cuts do not interrupt light rail service. Also, the vibrations from the trains can cause damage to some utility lines.
Utility relocation is an expensive proposition – estimated by an engineering firm at $319 million of the $510 million cost of construction. It might be possible to relocate only some of the utility lines, reducing the relocation costs to $189 million, but that figure would still be about one-half of total construction costs.
Why Not A Bus?
The costs of utility relocation raise the question of why not use rubber-tired vehicles instead of light rail vehicles that rely on tracks? With huge increases in bus ridership since the MetroCard free transfers between buses and the subway took effect, haven't New Yorkers proven that they will ride buses? Without tracks to worry about, a car-free bus mall would not require any utility relocations. Another advantage is that 42nd Street could be integrated with bus routes on North/South avenues. New York City Transit could run a bus rapid transit service on First and Second Avenues, for example, that would turn onto 42nd Street – a useful step until the Second Avenue Subway is built.
George Haikalis, a transportation planner and co-chair, with the architect and author Roxanne Warren, of vision42, cites several advantages of light rail over an improved bus service. Haikalis fears that without rail tracks, some vehicles will be allowed onto 42nd Street, and those vehicles would block the bus lanes – a problem that certainly does occur at times on Fulton Street in Brooklyn. Haikalis also cites the smoother ride of light rail vehicles over buses and that low-floor light rail vehicles do not need the large wheel wells of low floor buses. Passengers also like the certainty that rail vehicles will stay on the tracks and not unexpectedly divert to some unpredictable destination, a consideration that affects visitors more than residents or commuters.
What Needs To Be Addressed For It To Happen?
Many other issues would need to be addressed if the light rail plan moved forward. Further work is needed on traffic issues, deliveries to buildings on 42 Street and related implementation issues. More basically, who would fund the project? Who would operate the service – the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the city, or a private company franchised by the city (as was the plan a decade ago)? Could riders use MetroCard to pay the fare – and how would the "proof of payment" system proposed for the line work in a New York environment?
Does a 42nd Street trolley have a future? Currently it lacks any depth of support in the civic community, which is focused on the Second Avenue Subway, East Side Access and lower Manhattan redevelopment. Mayor Bloomberg is focused on extending the #7 train, building the Jets Stadium and winning the Olympics. Although Manhattan Borough President Virginia Fields sponsored the recent meeting, she has not endorsed the project, nor have other elected officials or the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
The 42nd Street light rail may need to wait a while before its day comes, if it ever does. In the meantime it will be yet another example of how many stars need to align before even a relatively modest transit construction project moves toward reality.

Survivorship: Health Concerns After Splenectomy
The spleen is an organ located in the upper abdomen that functions somewhat like a filter, removing bacteria and dead red blood cells from the blood stream. In some cancers, the spleen may be removed or treated with radiation, leaving it unable to function. This condition is called asplenia and it has some important implications for the health and care of affected survivors.
Removal of the spleen (or radiation to the spleen) results in a survivor being at higher risk for infections caused by certain types of bacteria, with Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzaetype b being the most common. An infection can quickly progress to sepsis and can lead to death if not treated quickly with antibiotics. Some experts believe survivors with asplenia should have antibiotics on hand to be started at the first sign of infection, even before being evaluated by the healthcare team. These survivors must be aware of the importance of reporting a fever (temperature > 100.4°F (38°C)) or any sign of infection to their healthcare team right away, or to go to an emergency room for evaluation if their doctor is not available. They must be sure to let any healthcare provider caring for them know that they do not have a functioning spleen.
Survivors should wear a medic-alert bracelet noting this condition ("asplenia") and should receive annual influenza vaccines, as well as the pneumococcal and Hepatitis B vaccines. They should also receive the meningococcal and H. influenzaetype b vaccines (this is not the same as the annual flu vaccine), and if bitten by a dog, cat or rodent, antibiotics are required to prevent infection with Capnocytophaga canimorsus bacteria.
If traveling to an area with malaria, taking medication to prevent infection with malaria and the use of a mosquito repellent are important. If traveling to or living in Cape Cod or Nantucket Island in Massachusetts, you may be more likely to have complications from an infection caused by deer ticks called Babesia. If you notice you have been bitten by a tick, please contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible as this species of tick may transmit Lyme disease.
Key Takeaways
Survivors who have asplenia should:
- Wear a medic alert bracelet noting asplenia (no functioning spleen).
- Notify your healthcare team right away if you develop a temperature greater than 100.4°F (38°C) or any signs of infection (sore throat, cough, burning with urination, ear pain, rash or shortness of breath).
- Receive annual flu vaccine as well as pneumococcal, haemophilis influenza type b (HIb), meningococcal and hepatitis vaccines (per CDC guidelines). Speak with your provider regarding the need of other vaccines including Tdap, zoster, HPV, MMR, and varicella.
- When traveling outside the U.S., evaluate need for additional vaccines or antibiotics.
- See your healthcare provider for any tick or animal bites.

Lilo on the cover of UK Elle, the photoshoot where those jewels went missing.
But the best is what the editor Lorraine Candy has written about the experience in her standard address:
"Lindsay Lohan wrote me a note during this month's cover shoot. It read: 'Let's do it again some time.' I've put it on my office wall because, in all honesty, I don't know if I could. This was the most unpredictable, and confusing shoot in my magazine career. First, Lindsay was about to arrive. Then she was in Paris. She was almost on set, then she disappeared into her hotel room. She was ready for her interview, then she had to have a fake tan! But we got there."
This sh-t happens all the time. And Lindsay's not the only one who pulls it. I've spent enough time on sets and at junkets waiting around for celebrities to dry out, get laid, coke up, wake up, or finish their shopping to know that the usual protocol is that the press just eats it, can't do anything for fear of retribution by the studio, the publicist, the manager, the business.
So it's not only significant what Candy is saying here – that Lindsay Lohan is an unreliable, irresponsible, unprofessional f-ck up – but also that she is able to say it at all.
Lindsay Lohan used to have the kind of clout that would protect her from exposure. The fact that she's being openly called out, without consequence, is yet another example of how far down she has come.
Here are Lilo and Samantha Ronson last night at Dan Tana's with a carton of Marlboro Reds. Harsh.

A member of a Sierra Nevada ski resort's patrol team who was injured after being caught in an avalanche has died.
Alpine Meadows said in a statement that 53-year-old Bill Foster died at Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nev., where he was taken after the avalanche a day earlier on the resort near Lake Tahoe.
Foster was buried in a slide that had been intentionally set with an explosive device by a senior member of the ski patrol team. The team was doing avalanche control in an area on the back side of resort. The area was closed to the public.
Resort officials say the avalanche broke much higher and wider on the slope than in past snow safety missions.
Foster was uncovered within eight minutes.

I saw it and I loved it. I really enjoyed the film. The characters were really nailed down, all the figures are exactly how you would remember them from the series.

|Floor, Wall, Wall & Floor
Almagro Chalk Glazed Porcelain Bush Hammered Wall & Floor Tiles 900x450mm
This tile is available in 900x900mm, 900x450mm, 600x600mm and 600x300mm.
This tile is a porcelain material, which means it is stain and water resistant; perfect for a messy kitchen or bathroom with condensation.
Bush hammered tiles consist of a stone surface that is mechanically treated by a multiple pointed tool, to develop a non-slip textured look. The surface is generally smooth and a little lighter in colour than untreated stone.
These stone tiles are a beautiful additional to homes trying to achieve a classic or rustic feel. Although they look textured, they are in fact smooth and therefore are easier to clean and safer in homes with children.
The chalk brings a calming and tranquil feel to any room, particularly due to its light colour and the association with the beautiful cliffs of dover. They will also help make a room look larger and brighter.
This product is suitable for underfloor heating, so you need not worry about the temperature of tiles.
As this is a wall & floor tile, you can create a seamless and modern effect by using the tile on both surfaces. Otherwise, using the tiles on one surface will still help achieve the contemporary look while tying in other colours and materials for greater personalisation.
Please try our free samples if you are interested in this product.
Prepare the Surface Area
Any cracks or damaged areas should be repaired and the surface should be level. If a primer has been purchased then the primer should be applied and left to dry. Plan the Layout of the Tiles
Mark the centre of the surface area using snap chalk and plan where each tile will lay. This can be completed by dry laying each tile or simply marking where each tile will be installed. This will allow the edge pieces to be measured and cut accordingly.
Apply Adhesive
It is important to read manufacturer's instructions if the adhesive requires mixing. The adhesive should be applied with a trowel and only 1 meter squared should be applied at a time. A ¼" coat is usually recommended; however, this may vary depending on the tile. Use the notched side of the trowel at a 45-degree angle to remove any excess adhesive.
Lay the Tiles
If you are laying floor tiles then start in the centre of the room, or if you're laying wall tiles then start in a corner and work your way across. Place spacers in between tiles to ensure an even joint gap is created. Gently tap all tiles into place and wipe away any excess adhesive from the surface of the tiles using a damp sponge. Always check the lines are even using a spirit level. Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Apply Grout
Use a grout flout to push the grout into the joints at a 45-degree angle using diagonal swipes. Ensure any excess grout is removed from the surface of the tiles to avoid damaging the final appearance. The grout should take around 20 minutes to cure. Once the grout has cured, wipe down all tiles with a damp cloth. Once the tiles have been left for 72 hours then you are able to apply a coat of sealant over the tiles or grout.Always read the manufacturer's instructions on packaging as aspects of the installation method may change due to variation of products.
UK Delivery
Here at Tile Monkey we have two main delivery options. Our economy delivery will arrive to you within 2-3 standard working days, alternatively, we offer a next day delivery service for orders placed before 12pm for guaranteed delivery the day after purchase.
All of our deliveries are made between 9am and 6pm, however, there is a small surcharge of £30 if you require a timed delivery. We instruct all of our delivery drivers to call our customers approximately one hour prior to delivery so you don't have to wait around all day for your new tiles to arrive!
All of our samples are completely free and sent to

iScreen version 2.0.0 released (2 messages)
iScreen (found at http://i-screen.org) is a Java object validation framework designed to validate entire object graphs. iScreen's philosophy is to maximize configuration and minimize coding. It does this through a powerful and flexibly XML configuration file. If your preference is validation through annotations, then iScreen isn't appropriate. However, if you need to do some complex validation and need the flexibility and power of simple inheritance, delegation, and conditionals across entire object graphs, then iScreen may fit your needs. This latest release adds the ability to associate a severity level with each failure. In addition, multiple messages can be associated with each failure. For example, you can group 'You did this wrong' with 'Do it this way' as two separate messages, but associated and available through the same failure. Better support for tracing the failure to where it occurs within the configuration file has been added. An additional conditional capability has been added to execute (or not execute) an individual validator. iScreen supports both OGNL and MVEL as expression languages in referencing individual object properties.

A Guide to the W. R. Coffee Diary, 1863
Biographical Note
W. R. Coffee was a soldier in the U. S. Army during the Civil War. On April 7, 1863, he discovered the diary of another Union soldier from Albany, New York, in a Fredericksburg, Virginia, field and continued its entries for five months. Both soldiers were stationed at Fredericksburg and saw President Abraham Lincoln and General Joseph Hooker during an April 1863 visit to the camp.
Scope and Contents
Consisting of two typed transcripts, the W. R. Coffee diary, 1863, documents the daily life of two Union soldiers during the Civil War. The entries of the unnamed soldier begin January 1, 1863 and end April 6, 1863. Coffee resumes entries on April 7, 1863 and continues through September 27, 1863. Both soldiers discuss their activities and living conditions in the U. S. Army, including the weather, illnesses, the health of horses, the availability of food and mail, the soldiers' movements, combat witnessed, and visitors to the camp, including President Abraham Lincoln. Coffee also used the diary to keep a record of his finances.

Yellow Smart-Tamp
$ 129.99
Brand MG Coffee Tools
This product is unavailable
The Smart-Tamp is a coffee tamper with a built in digital force scale that shows you how hard you are compacting the coffee in the portafilter in real-time, quickly and accurately. The tamper handle is ergonomic and comfortable in the hand. From the outside it looks and feels like a conventional coffee tamper but contains quite unconventional internals giving the tamper unprecedented utility.
Part of the innovation in the tamper lies within the load cell. Small, accurate load cells are prohibitively expensive and this drove MG Coffee Tools engineers to design a custom one that is small enough to fit inside a typical size tamper without sacrificing the tamper's ergonomics and function. The tamper comes powder coated in three striking colors that are tough and made to last. The handle can be removed and swapped with one of a different color. The base is made from stainless steel and is available in both flat and curved form in three sizes: 53mm, 58mm and 58.4mm. The digital display comes in two unit options, a kilogram screen that displays from 5 to 20 kg in 1 kg increments and a pounds screen that displays from 12 to 42 lbs in 2 lbs increments.
Controlling the variables that govern a good shot of espresso is key to being able to improve and reliably repeat your extractions. The Smart-Tamp offers you unmatched control over your tamp so you never have to question your tamp again.
Batteries included. Battery life is 6 to 7 months in standby mode.

Sefilian: Delay in negotiations over Erebuni police station seizure
exacerbates situation
20:03, 26.07.2016
YEREVAN. - Leader of "Founding Parliament" radical opposition group
Jirair Sefilian has announced that since the very first day of the
Erebuni police station seizure by the Sasna Tsrer armed group he has
expressed readiness "to use all the possibilities to find a bloodless
solution to the matter."
Sefilian, who is currently in prison, has sent a message to Radio
Liberty via his attorney Ara Zakaryan. The message reads: "Hoping that
the authorities will sober up and sit down at a negotiation table, now
I don't wish to refer to the details of the negotiations in order not
to jeopardize the process in any way.
We have a precise political plan to solve the matter by peaceful
means. Apparently, the delay in the negotiation process leads to the
tension of the situation, which might result in new clashes, wounding
and claimng human lives, which will certainly be the authorities'

Armenian opposition turns down demands to relocate protests' venue
July 27, 3:35 UTC+3 YEREVAN
"If anything happens here and blood is spilled, the Armenian
authorities will be to blame," Alek Yenigomshyan, one of the
opposition movement's coordinators said
Material has 1 page
YEREVAN, July 26 /TASS/. Armenia's radical opposition on Tuesday
turned down a police demand to relocate the rallies' venue to a
different place away from a police unit, which has been under control
of armed opposition radicals for ten days. "We are not going to change
the venue for our rallies," Alek Yenigomshyan, one of the opposition
movement's coordinators, told TASS.
Yenigomshyan said the authorities had been frightened by yesterday's
mass rally and an opposition march. They think it would be safer to
relocate the venue for the rallies, the opposition activist said. He
believes that people's presence at the rally is the main guarantee
that the authorities will not crack down on the armed attackers who
seized the police station.
At dawn, on July 17, about 30 armed attackers connected to Armenia's
radical opposition rammed into the gates of a Yerevan police station
driving a Kraz dump truck and opened fire. In the ensuing shootout, a
deputy squad commander was killed, with some policemen and attackers
suffering injuries. In the chaos that followed, the assailants managed
to abduct on-duty cops and top police brass who arrived at the scene
for negotiations. Among those taken hostage are two senior police
officials, Major General Vartan Yegiazaryan, Armenia's deputy police
chief, and Colonel Valery Osipyan, Yerevan's deputy police chief.
"If anything happens here and blood is spilled, the Armenian
authorities will be to blame," Yenigomshyan said. He believes that
clashes could erupt in Yerevan only as a public response to police
Touching upon negotiations between the authorities and the armed
hostage-takers, Yenigomshyan accused the authorities of imitating the
negotiations pretending to be in talks with the armed opposition
members. They do not observe the agreements reached, Yenigomshyan
said. He called on the people of Yerevan and all Armenians, including
representatives of the Armenian Diaspora abroad, to take to the
streets. "There are many of us today. There will be more of us
tomorrow and the day after tomorrow," the opposition activist said.
The protesters in Yerevan are holding the photos of the armed group's
members and are changing their names from time to time.
Armenian police have detained the accomplices of gunmen who have been
holding a Yerevan police precinct hostage for eight days and are still
refusing to surrender, Armenia's National Security Service said on
"More co-conspirators have been arrested as part of a criminal
investigation into the police station's seizure. Another (criminal)
group that helped the gunmen, has been detained," Armenia's National
Security Service said.
According to the latest reports, the gunmen that hijacked the truck
had threatened to kill the vehicle's owner and his family. Having
carjacked the truck, they used it to storm the police station. "Some
assailants prodded their accomplices outside to hurl Molotov cocktails
in order to break the encirclement and snatch weapons from the police
squad," the National Security Service said.
"Other individuals who were genuinely intent on helping this lawless
gang are currently in police custody. Law enforcement officials are
employing all possible tactics, legal ones included, to quash and
prevent any further criminal activity," Armenia's National Security
Service stressed.
The National Security Service still believes it is possible to end the
hostage standoff through dialogue and negotiations. "It has called on
the armed extremists to immediately cease their lawlessness and
violence, which endanger peoples' lives and well-being and threats
against property. They should voluntarily lay down arms and surrender
to the authorities without resistance. There is little time left to do
that but there still is time," the Armenian National Security Service
Under Armenian laws, hostage-takers who give up their demands,
voluntarily release hostages and surrender to the authorities are
exempt from criminal prosecution if their actions do not contain the
element of other crimes.
The Armenian police are refuting the absurd information, which appears
in the Internet on and off.

Thousands Again Rally in Yerevan in Support of Erebuni Gunmen (Video)
1:30 am Organizers of the rally outside the seized police headquarters have asked those gathered to come back to the same spot at 7pm on Wednesday. Police officers have also begun to leave the territory.
Protesters' march through central Yerevan
1:00 am Eyewitnesses have told Epress.am that the demonstrators on Tigran Mets avenue were being dispersed by police officers, including ones wearing civilian clothes, and pushed toward the railway station nearby.
12:45 am Some of the marchers returned to Khorenatsi street while the rest were negotiating with police officers on a central Yerevan avenue. Founding Parliament anti-government movement member Alek Yenigomshyan announced that if communication with the "Daredevils of Sasun" was not reestablished immediately then he would personally enter the territory of the seized police building. Shortly after Yenigomshyan's announcement, the marchers moved towards Khorenatsi.
11:14 pm Supporters of the "Daredevils of Sasun" armed group again rallied Tuesday evening in an area adjacent to the cordoned off section of Yerevan's Khorenatsi street leading to the seized patrol police regiment headquarters, despite an earlier statement issued by Armenia's police, demanding that the organizers moved the rally to a different location to avoid "the real and imminent threat of an escalation of tension and the danger facing public safety."
Hours ahead of the assembly, a heavy police presence was visible in the area, while Gyumri Council of Elders member Levon Barseghyan claimed in his speech during the rally that several civilians had already been detained by plain clothes police officers. Barseghyan announced that those detained were Mher Minasyan, Melik Davtyan and a young man named Ashot. A rally participant soon provided Epress.am with a video footage of a man being forcibly shoved into a car without a license plate.
Opposition activist Davit Sanasaryan, for his part, took to the stage with a call to law enforcement officers' parents. "Do not allow your sons to protect those who suck the blood out of the people. Do not let your sons become criminals!" he said.
About an hour into the rally, the demonstrators decided to again march through the streets of Yerevan. They are currently walking in downtown Yerevan, chanting "Free, Independent Armenia" and yelling at people to join them.

Police opened fire at Pavlik Manukyan – Sasna Dzrer
12:41 | July 27,2016 | Politics
Armenak Kyureghyan, the father of the Kyureghyan brothers who remain in the Armenian police patrol regiment headquarters they seized on July 17, has contacted the members of the Sasna Dzrer armed group.
Talking to A1+, Armenak Kyureghyan said the police did not attack the police compound at bight.
"Sasna Dzrer members reached an agreement with the law enforcement authorities to have over the wounded gunman. It was Pavlik Manukyan who went to meet law enforcement officers to surrender his wounded friends. But the police open fire and wounded him. Pavlik's son, Aram, ran to help his father and was wounded likewise. The two other members of the Sasna Dzrer group, Gagik Yeghiazaryan and Aram Hakobyan, came with stretchers after their wounded friends, but they were arrested by the police," Armenak Kyureghyan.
He says the members of the armed group remain inside the police building 'are in a fighting mood.'
Armenak Kyureghyan said he did not ask about the doctors who are reportedly held hostage by the Sasna Dzrer group.
"I think the boys need medical aid, therefore the team is there. There is one person inside the building who has minor injuries," he added.

Levon Chookaszian to Serzh Sargsyan
Member of Founding Parliament, currently in search, Garegin Chookaszian's brother, Doctor of Arts, Levon Chookaszian, in response to the question in an interview with "Aravot" what solution he sees in the created situation, replied, "Serzh Sargsyan's and his team's resignation."
When we reminded that Serzh Sargsyan drastically said in his statement, forget about it, do you see another way that suggests a peaceful solution and is an alternative to it, he replied, "People also drastically say – resign."
According to Levon Chookaszian, the rallies are becoming increasingly crowded. And people finally begin to understand that the decisive moment has come to get rid of the "unjust who oppress the people and destroy the country."
The guys of "Sasna Tsrer" group have announced that they will fight until the last bullet. To our question that this statement was not accepted and was criticized, saying that our bullet should fire in a different direction, in the direction of the enemy and not inside the country, so whether you do not agree that there was no other solution except for weapon and blood, Chookaszian replied, "The atrocities indicate that he recognizes only the language of force. Therefore, if he does not give up, the people will use this force against him. It is common all over the world, if you sow the wind, you will reap the storm."
To our question that Levon Ter-Petrosyan and the intellectuals offer to lay down the weapons, so what you think about it, he replied, "Highly negative. The cup is full, there is no place to retreat. In the evening, come out to the streets and look how many light are on at each building. Emigration is killing our country. The unbearable living conditions, the lack of prospects for young people and endless war are wearing our country out. This is no longer tolerable."
Vitaly Balasanyan, an Artsakh hero, had said in an interview with reporters that let's assume that the demands of the armed group are met, but there will always be people who will make a group of 40-50 people and will try to solve the problem by means of weapons and change of the regime, this would jeopardize the country's statehood. We asked whether Chookaszian does not consider these arguments substantiated, he replied, "I think that Vitaly Balasanyan yielding to the pressures coming from above. Rule and order should be established in the country and the irregularities of good guys should be stopped. If normal conditions of human life are created, the political prisoners are released, legitimacy is established in the country and the people are not looted, an orderly and civilized police is established, then no one will take a weapon and form a gang. The existing gangs should be neutralized after the resignation of the authorities."
Now, the "Sasna Tsrer" guys want Ashot Minasyan's (Ashot the Iron) motion. To the question of whether this will change anything, Levon Chookaszian replied, "No, people need to be given hope to live and for the future. They need to see significant changes, no motion will change anything. It's an idle thing to extend time."

Armenian lawmaker Zaruhi Postanjyan has addressed an appeal-letter to Catholicos of All Armenians.
"On Tuesday, July 26, the authorities of the Republic of Armenia refused my written request to deliver food and water to our citizens barricaded in the seized police building. Nor did they respond to my demand to explain their failure to carry out their responsibilities. They simply kept silent. Their silence is bloody and disastrous though clear to me. But I cannot understand the silence of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, as well as our spiritual leaders whom I also applied with the request to provide food and water to our insurgent citizens.
Dear spiritual leaders, our citizens have revolted for our people and our national right. Let us remember Catholicos of All Armenians Gevorg V who in 1918 commanded to ring the bells of all churches day and night and raise the people.
Do ring the bells of churches and protect our homeland," Zaruhi Postanjyan said in her appeal.

What is this protesting? Is it a popular? Is it just? Is this in support of the armed attackers~the attack that killed?
Why should food be given to those who have seized a building, they did kill to seize the building.
Like to know more, of the reasoning.
Posted 27 July 2016 - 10:57 AM
Are doctors not allowed to leave the area of the building that has been seized~unless others are sent to replace them? If so they are hostages.
Is this any less than an Armed Takeover of the Government.

Onjig you are asking a lot of legit questions that most of us are asking, the answers will differ of course depending on which side of the fence you are. Armenia has lots of problems that needs solving, and the solutions are not easy. I for one is totally against violence, even one lost life is precious and a huge loss. People are fed up with corruption and of bleak future which is forcing citizens to economic emigration and loss of population. Some people are losing their confidence in the government and no hope that it will change soon. Unfortunately Armenia is a small country caught under the influence of Russia and the West with no regard whatsoever to the interests of Armenians and no matter which side they lean towards they end up losing. I'm in no position to say as to which side is right or wrong and which side is working for outside interests but one thing is sure that we are in dangerous times and we need divine intervention, God help Armenia please.
Artsakh is another issue that is bothering people, particularly those people who fought during the war and they don't know what's happening, people are kept in the dark and some are against ceding land because they don't trust Azeries and we'll lose the upper hand and that could lead to another genocide. I tried to simplify the situation and sure it's lot more complicated, I'd like to hear other's input.
My wish is that the government listens to the people and we'll avoid bloodshed.

She expressed that as a member of the Diaspora, she supports the nation building process, but she explained that in the absence of clear information she does not understand what is happening. "This country has been suffering for a long time now from absence of real understanding of how it's being governed," she stated. Khanjian went on to say, "I think the Diaspora is functioning still in its commitment to support Armenia in every way. The Diaspora is terrified of the possibility of ever any civil war or any blood spilled within the country…The Diaspora is...terrified of losing the statehood [of Armenia]."
Ms. Khanjian explained during the interview that upon her arrival in Armenia, her immediate impulse was to visit the demonstration, as she believed that would be the only way she could really understand what was going on.
She further stated: "I think this conversation is a tricky one for me because on the one hand I feel that I want to be involved, at the same time, I want to be involved in a responsible way and in the absence of confirmed information, this makes my own personal ethical decision complicated, but I think this is a risk that I have to take and I think this is a risk that the diaspora has to take. And maybe the diaspora has to, the individuals in the diaspora, they have to put pressure on their own organizations that they belong to or they're around and those organizations don't have to be political parties necessarily, they can be cultural organizations, everyone has to feel that there is something at stake for all of us."
Additionally, she expressed her opinion that while many have left Armenia, those who chose to remain feel that they have something to say about the country's current political state.
Speaking about all Armenians, she declared that "We are responsible [for] our history and not only financially...[but for] our future by being in the conversation constantly."

Starting from yesterday Alek Yenigomshyan is illegally kept in the NSS. He was placed under arrest with multiple violations of human rights.
His advocate is Nikolay Baghdasaryan. We draw the attention of the human rights defenders, the international structures and the Diaspora to this unlawfulness.
We think that the Diaspora should present a demand to the Republic of Armenia in connection with the issue of releasing the former fighter of ASALA, who sacrificed his life and sight for Armenia.

Close Friend Of Gavin DeGraw Says He's 'Shaken Up' After Brutal Attack!
A source tells us Gavin is 'doing okay' after being attacked by a group of unidentified men in NYC on Aug. 8 — but adds it's 'not strange' for Gavin to party that late all alone!
Gavin DeGraw's physical assault comes as a shock to his close friends and family. HollywoodLife.com spoke to a friend of the singer, who tells us the singer's 4AM attack near the club National Underground that he co-owns with his brother makes "no sense" and is "very scary."

This is scary because I've been out with him at 4am and to think this could have happened while I was there … it's scary."

He suffers from a concussion, broken nose, black eyes, cuts and bruises. The police are conducting an investigation of the attack."
Gavin, who was reportedly disoriented by the time the ambulance arrived, told police there were at least three men and he didn't know any of his assailants.
The "I Don't Want To Be" singer was expected to perform with Train and Maroon 5 on Aug. 12 in upstate New York.
