Linux Mint's purpose is to produce an elegant, up-to-date, and comfortable GNU/Linux desktop based on Ubuntu. Some of the reasons for the success of Linux Mint are:
It's one of the most community driven distributions
It is a Debian-based distribution and as such it is very solid and it comes with one of the greatest package managers
It is compatible with and uses Ubuntu repositories. This gives Linux Mint users access to a huge collection of packages and software.
It comes with a lot of desktop improvements which make it easier for the user to do common things
There is a strong focus on making things work out of the box (WiFi cards drivers in the file system, multimedia support, screen resolution, etc)
New features in Linux Mint 19.1 Xfce
Linux Mint 19.1 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2023. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable.
Linux Mint 19.1 "Tara" Xfce Edition
Update Manager
The Update Manager is able to list mainline kernels and to show their support status:
Listing available kernels
A new button was added to make it easier to remove unused kernels:
Removing unused kernels
Software Sources
The Software Sources tool was given a new look. Similar to the welcome screen, it's now using an Xapp sidebar and a headerbar.
Software Sources
When software crashes tools such as mintreport produce a stack trace our developers can look at to understand the cause of the crash. This is the first step towards fixing such a bug. For the stack trace to be meaningful, users need to have debug symbols installed. In an effort to reduce bandwidth for their mirrors, Debian decided to move debug symbols outside of the main repositories. This decision affected not only Debian and LMDE but also Ubuntu and Linux Mint and made it much more difficult for users to install these symbols. To simplify this process, support for debug symbols was added into the Software Sources tool. Adding debug symbol repositories can now be done with a click of the mouse.
A new button was also added within the "Maintenance" tab to remove duplicate entries in your repositories.
Input Methods
The Language Settings and the Input Methods are now two separate applications.
The user interface for the Input Methods tool was revamped. It uses an icon sidebar and now shows a dedicated page for each supported language.
Input Methods
Clear instructions are provided for each language to guide you through not only installing support packages but also selecting the right input method framework and the right input method.
Cinnamon 4.0 also received better Fcitx support. Its keyboard applet now hides when Fcitx is running.
XApps improvements
Improvements were made to the look and feel of the document viewer. Thumbnails and page borders in particular look more crisp:
Xed, the text editor, moved to libpeas, python3 and the MESON build system.
Its statusbar was reworked. It now indicates whether the document is in tabs or spaces mode and highlight modes are searchable.
Four new widgets are available in libxapp:
XAppStackSidebar makes it easy to create icon sidebars, such as the ones used in the Welcome Screen or the Software Sources.
XAppPreferencesWindow provides a multi-page preference window with a built-in icon sidebar. This component is used to display application preferences in Xed, Xreader and Nemo.
An XAppPreferencesWindow in Xed
XAppIconChooserDialog provides a dialog which lets you choose an icon name or an icon path.
XAppIconChooserButton provides a button which shows an icon or an image, and lets you choose a new one when clicked.
An XAppIconChooserButton and its XAppIconChooserDialog
Other improvements
Firewall configuration was added to the "First Steps" section of the welcome screen.
To prevent you from typing your password into the wrong window (and sending it online by mistake), sudo now shows asterisks when you type your password.
This release ships with linux-firmware 1.173.2 and the Linux kernel 4.15.0-20.
Artwork improvements
Linux Mint 19.1 features a superb collection of backgrounds from Alessio Soggetti, Alex Ruban, Bruno Fantinatti, Drew Coffman, dking, Felix Haller, George Hiles, Ivan Bandura, Jan Kaluza, Kalen Emsley, Mark Tegethoff, Ricardo Gomez Angel, Sezgin Mendil, Stefan Kunze and Tom Grimbert.
An overview of the new backgrounds
The Mint-Y, Mint-Y-Dark and Mint-Y-Darker themes are now available in Aqua, Blue, Brown, Grey, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Sand and Teal.
An overview of the new color variations
Mint-Y themes were given more contrast:
Xed in Mint 19 (left) and in Mint 19.1 (right)
Labels look sharper and stand out more on top of their backgrounds. So do the icons which now look darker than before. As a result, it's easier to visually identify the focused window:
Focused terminal, in Mint 19 (top) and in Mint 19.1 (bottom)
To support both light and dark panels, Linux Mint 19.1 ships with symbolic status icons for Redshift, mate-volume-control-applet, onboard and network-manager-applet.
Main components
Linux Mint 19.1 features Xfce 4.12, a Linux kernel 4.15 and an Ubuntu 18.04 package base.
LTS strategy
Linux Mint 19.1 will receive security updates until 2023.
Until 2020, future versions of Linux Mint will use the same package base as Linux Mint 19.1, making it trivial for people to upgrade.
Until 2020, the development team won't start working on a new base and will be fully focused on this one.

In Japanese mythology, Izanami-no-Mikoto, also given as 伊弉冉尊 or 伊邪那美命, meaning "she who invites" is a goddess of both creation and death, as well as the former wife of the god Izanagi-no-Mikoto. She is also referred to as Izanami-no-kami.
Goddess of Creation
The first gods Kunitokotachi and Amenominakanushi summoned two divine beings into existence, the male Izanagi and the female Izanami, and charged them with creating the first land. To help them do this, Izanagi and Izanami were given a spear decorated with jewels, named Ame-no-nuboko (heavenly spear). The two deities then went to the bridge between heaven and earth, Ame-no-ukihashi ("floating bridge of heaven"), and churned the sea below with the spear. When drops of salty water fell from the spear, Onogoroshima ("self-forming island") was created. They descended from the bridge of heaven and made their home on the island.
Eventually they wished to be mated, so they built a pillar called Ama-no-mihashira ("pillar of heaven"; the mi- is an honorific prefix) and around it they built a palace called Yahiro-dono (one hiro is approximately 1.82 m, so the "eight-hiro-palace" would have been 14.56 m). Izanagi and Izanami circled the pillar in opposite directions and, when they met on the other side, Izanami spoke first in greeting. Izanagi did not think that this was proper, but they mated anyhow. They had two children, Hiruko ("leech-child") and Awashima ("faint island"), but they were born deformed and are not considered deities.
They put the children into a boat and set them out to sea, then petitioned the other gods for an answer as to what they did wrong. They were told that the male deity should have spoken first in greeting during the marriage ceremony. So Izanagi and Izanami went around the pillar again, this time Izanagi speaking first when they met, and their marriage was finally successful.
From their union were born the ōyashima, or the "great eight islands" of the Japanese chain:
They bore six more islands and many deities. Izanami died giving birth to the child Kagu-Tsuchi (incarnation of fire) or Ho-Masubi (causer of fire). She was then buried on Mt. Hiba, at the border of the old provinces of Izumo and Hōki, near modern-day Yasugi of Shimane Prefecture. So angry was Izanagi at the death of his wife that he killed the newborn child, thereby creating dozens of deities.
Izanami in the Kojiki
The Kojiki said death of Izanami and her tomb which was located at the boundary between country Izumo and Hohki(now in Yasugi-shi ,Shimane-ken). It implies that Izanami transferred her soul to an animal and a human before her death, but does not state whether or not Izanami had incarnations.
Death of Izanami-no-Mikoto
Izanagi-no-Mikoto lamented the death of Izanami-no-Mikoto and undertook a journey to Yomi ("the shadowy land of the dead"). He searched for Izanami-no-Mikoto and found her. At first, Izanagi-no-Mikoto could not see her for the shadows hid her appearance. He asked her to return with him. Izanami-no-Mikoto spat out at him, informing Izanagi-no-Mikoto that he was too late. She had already eaten the food of the underworld and was now one with the land of the dead. She could no longer return to the living.
The news shocked Izanagi-no-Mikoto, but he refused to leave her in Yomi. While Izanami-no-Mikoto was sleeping, he took the comb that bound his long hair and set it alight as a torch. Under the sudden burst of light, he saw the horrid form of the once beautiful and graceful Izanami-no-Mikoto. She was now a rotting form of flesh with maggots and foul creatures running over her ravaged body.
Crying out loud, Izanagi-no-Mikoto could no longer control his fear and started to run, intending to return to the living and abandon his death-ridden wife. Izanami-no-Mikoto woke up, shrieking and indignant, and chased after him. She also sent Yakusa-no-ikazuchi-no-kami (Raijin) and shikome (foul women) to hunt for Izanagi-no-Mikoto and bring him back to Yomi.
Izanagi-no-Mikoto burst out of the entrance and pushed a boulder in the mouth of the Yomotsuhirasaka (黄泉津平坂; cavern that was the entrance of Yomi). Izanami-no-Mikoto screamed from behind this impenetrable barricade and told Izanagi-no-Mikoto that if he left her she would destroy 1,000 residents of the living every day. He furiously replied he would give life to 1,500.

Developer pleased with Darien assisted-living facilities
Developer pleased with Darien assisted-living facilities
As baby boomers age, they consider their housing options.
But many have a more pressing problem -- helping their parents find safe, convenient homes where they can feel comfortable as they perhaps face the challenges of aging.
Developers are building assisted-living complexes and related facilities throughout Fairfield County to meet these needs.
Among them is Maplewood Senior Living, Westport-based developer of senior independent-living facilities which was a front-runner in seeing the need for such housing and built sites in Danbury, East Norwalk, Newtown, Orange and Darien in the past several years.
Opened in November 2012, on the site of the former Mediplex at 599 Post Road, Maplewood at Darien, with its 66 studio- and one-room apartments, is 90 percent occupied, said Gregory Smith, chairman and CEO of Westport-based Maplewood Senior Living.
$16 million reconstruction
The complex offers memory-loss treatment for residents, said Smith, estimating more than 5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease.
"We thought Darien was a great place for the demographics," he said. "There was a void in the market, and the location is ideal on the Post Road."
Smith, who is on the board of directors of the Alzheimer's Association's Connecticut chapter, said he had been scouring the Darien market since 2009, and finally made a deal to acquire the property from a subsidiary of Care One in Fort Lee, N.J., for $5.5 million.
What followed was gutting the building to the girders and a total reconstruction. A house in back of the property was razed to create a garden and walking trail covering more than an acre. In 2011, Smith told Hearst Connecticut Media the project would cost $16 million.
`More plans'
"We have more plans for Fairfield County along the Gold Coast. We're under contract for one location," said Smith, whose company is building Maplewood at Stony Hill, a memory-care community in Bethel.
More than 72,000 people over age 65 in Connecticut have Alzheimer's, and in 10 years it will be 91,000, said Christy Kovel, spokeswoman for the Alzheimer's Association's Connecticut chapter.
"Seventy percent are cared for at home, but there's a growing need for facilities. We partner with facilities all over the state," she said.
Smith sees the need for more assisted-living complexes as baby boomers approach the current ages of their parents.
"The average age in our communities is 85. The largest push won't happen in that age group until 2020 to 2030. We're in a great market," he said.
New Norwalk facility
Smith said since appropriate property comes at a high price, his firm has learned to be patient and find unseen opportunities.
"We've got to find ways to be competitive in this market. It's (about) cultivating deals off-market," he said.
In bordering Norwalk, Brightview Senior Living and its parent company, Shelter Development, based in Baltimore, are about to start building a 90-unit Victorian-style assisted-living complex on New Canaan Avenue in Norwalk, with an expected opening date of mid-2015.
Besides offering traditional assisted-living units, the development will include apartments for people dealing with memory loss.
"We're knocking down the Sons of Italy building there, and an adjoining house will be razed and the land -- about 1 1/2 acres -- will be given to the Norwalk Land Trust," said Jerry Effron, principal in the Greyrock Cos., which has offices in Stamford and Norwalk and represents Shelter Development in the region.
"We'd also like to be in Trumbull, Wilton, New Canaan, Darien and Greenwich," Effron said.
The region needs assisted-living complexes because nearly 14 percent of the population in the eight lower Fairfield County towns are 65 and older, he said.

Universal's Halloween Horror Nights already sounds pretty dandy with a "Cabin In the Woods" maze being announced this year and now there's news that a "Evil Dead" maze will be landing in both Hollywood and Orlando parks. I for one am very excited for the opportunity to see a morbidly obese man dressed up as Ash. I think that's probably the way we'd all want it at least.
"The Conjuring" doesn't come out until this Friday but New Line is throwing caution to the wind and already working on a sequel for the film. Based on what's supposed to a be a true story the film follows paranormal investigators who try to help a family being terrorized by an evil spirit. Early reviews have been decent, there's a solid chance this will be a hit and I've been sleeping pretty well so I say let's just go for it.
Good news? Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller took to the twitters to answer the question of when a "Friday the 13th" sequel would begin production. It looks like fairly soon actually, within the next month once they finish off their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles project. I can't begin to tell you how filthy that last sentence made me feel.
I completely forgot that this movie was happening but it looks like "Paranormal Activity 5" is being pushed to next year, with a January 6, 2014 being lined up. No word on why the change is being made but if I was a betting man I'd put my money on... honestly I have no idea. Trouble finding the right cleavage for the film? They've got to be running out of actresses who are willing to prance around in a tank top pretending to be afraid of ghosts at this point.
Did you guys hear they remade The Evil Dead?
"Twilight" producer, AKA chief glitter consultant, Mark Morgan has just lined up a big screen adaptation of the graphic novel "Head Smash". as his next project. The book with pictures tells the tale of a man who discoveries a serum that gives him super powers and uses it to take revenge on a crime circle that betrayed him. The glitter thing was the only "Twilight" joke I know.
Dave Kajganich, of "Blood Creek" fame, has been tapped by the folks over at Universal to write the script for the upcoming remake of "The Creature From the Black Lagoon". This can't turn out any worse than the "Wolfman" remake so let's keep our chins up on this one. Or not. Honestly I just ate some cookies from a Chinese restaurant and my mouth is numb. I'm kind of worried.
Ethan Hawke's award winning personality helped "Sinister" pull in a respectable $18.3 million this past weekend. Not a ground breaking number but when you consider the flick was only made for $3 million than you start to feel some baby quakes. That may also be these cookies though. I can't see out of my left eye.
The first still from "The Evil Dead" reboot has hit the tubes fresh off a hot unveiling at this past weekend NYC Comic-Con. Not going to lie, it's pretty freaking creepy. I also can't lie about the fact that there's some sort of weird film on my teeth now and brushing doesn't seem to do anything.
Just to confirm a discussion we never had, Ridley Scott has been confirmed to be taking the directing role for "The Counselor". Written by Cormac McCarthy, the film follows a respected lawyer who tries his hand at the drug game... with sexy results. Wait no, terrible, not sexy. Not sexy at all.
If you're looking for more "The Evil Dead" casting news then this is going to be the best Monday of your life. Looks like Lou Taylor Pucci, who I don't know but only hate 1/3 of his name, is in talks to join the reboot. Lou would play a young smarty pants who's curiosity gets the gang into trouble. Whatever the hell that means. Pucci is the part of the name I hate in case you're wondering.
Looks like Universal is circling first time director Gary Shore to take on their new film "Dracula Year Zero". Russell Crowe is in talks to star in the film that tells the original story of Vlad the Impaler and how he eventually was turned into the character that Bram Stoker based is classic character on. Not really fair to pick a first time director. How am I suppose to make stupid comments about a guy I don't know? I bet he wears stupid hats.
Remember 2009's "Legion" about an Angel who comes down from the heavens to save the world? Well Syfy is working on a show based on the film. Cause ya know, everyone loved it. Alright I loved it. I can't even be sarcastic about how much I love it. An old lady swears a lot. How can you not love that?
No surprise here but it's still exciting news. Robert Rodriguez has officially begun pre-production for "Machete Kills", the follow up to 2010's Danny Trejo super joint. This time around our hero finds himself hired by the US government to take down a duo hell bent on unleashing war on the world. I bet he does a lot of chicks too. That seams to be his M.O.. Killing and doing chicks. God he's so great.
I'm sorry to be the one to break this terrible news to you but it looks like "Army Of the Dead", the follow up to 2004's "Dawn Of the Dead" remake, might be dead. I know, I'm still in shock, too. According to director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr has said that he doesn't think the movie is going to move forward due to expensive filming costs. Apparently the movie was suppose to take place in Las Vegas. Let's just try to be strong for each other.
It looks like Dolph Lundgren has been confirmed to be taking the lead role in "Battle Of the Damned" a new survival flick that has Lundgren battles both zombies and robots. I know this sounds like the greatest movie ever made. No details on a release date yet but I assume there's going to be some kind of giant Hollywood premiere in the near future. I can't wait for the red carpet coverage.
It looks like "The Evil Dead" reboot once again has a leading lady. Jane Levy, who is just adorable on the new show "Suburgatory" has taken the lead role in the film, an Ash like character who unleashes the evil power of The Book Of The Dead onto the world. I, for one, welcome our new Ash overlord and look forward to seeing what she does with the character. Just adorable.
How the hell the Germans have kept this clip from "Psycho" a secret for so long is beyond me but here it is, extended scenes from some of the film's classic shots that were apparently too hot for us American's back in the day but were A-OK for the Krauts. I wonder if they have the real ending for "The Sopranos" sitting around somewhere too.
"Snow Piercer" sounds like the name of a terrible cover band but it turns out it's the titled of Bong Joon-ho's new film. The movie tells the story of a group of people trapped on a train after the earth has been completely frozen. Who would you want as a fellow passenger on that train? If you said "Alien" alum John Hurt then you're in luck because he's been confirmed for the cast. If you said anyone other than him though you're kind of screwed.
Yesterday I told you how "The Crow" remake looks to be back on and today it appears a new writer and director have already been selected. Jesse Wigutow, who wrote some short films I will never see has been tapped to pen the script and F. Javier Gutierrez who directed "Before the Fall" which I'm 75% sure I saw will take the lead. Seriously, if you've never been to Hooters you should give it a shot. Their wings are so god damn good.
This can't be good news. It looks like that Lily Collins has officially dropped out from the lead role in the upcoming remake of "The Evil Dead". Apparently the drop out is because of "date issues". I assume this means she wants to go out on a date with me and just found out I'm married so she's too depressed to act. That's just my guess.
James Merendino directed "SLC Punk" and all the kids love that movie but he also directed some really crappy low budget horror flicks so don't get too excited when I tell you he's been tapped to direct a new horror comedy titled "The Bitch". The film is about a woman who finds herself trapped in a mansion that is haunted by an evil spirit called.... wait for it... "The Bitch". Ya know, cause the ghost is a big jerk and she won't let you watch the game and she hates all your friends and she complains anytime you want to go out for drinks with your buddies. Man I hate her. Breaking up with that ghost was the best thing I've ever done.
Word around campus is that "The Evil Dead" reboot may have found its new leading lady in the form of Lily Collins, who you might remember from last year's flick "Priest". Apparently she'll be playing the new "Ash", which will be a woman in the retelling, because girls have different parts than boys and therefore the film is completely different now. I love girl parts.
This shouldn't be any sort of surprise but it looks like a release date for "Paranormal Activity 4" has been set for October 19th of this year. No director or story have been assigned to the project but seeing how these things probably take a week or two to make I wouldn't expect to hear anything till around August.
If you've never seen the original "The House on Sorority Row" but loved the remake then you might want to get your fat ass out to the DVD store on January 24th when the original comes out on a a 2 disc special edition DVD. It'll be packed with all kinds of behind the scenes videos, audio commentary, storyboards and god knows what else. Well alright I know what else too, I just don't feel like typing out every freakin detail of the thing. Sometimes you have to do a little work for yourself. I'm not going to be around forever.

We've misjudged our distances. Badly. Now it's 7:30 PM and we've been out so long the high-tech rechargeable batteries in our GPS machines are dying. Allison starts to feel weak and has to sit down on a rock. She doesn't think she can continue without food and neither of us has anything left to eat. Worse, we're at least an hour from the truck. I radio Carl: "Do you have any food?" There's a pause, the situation being analyzed and understood. "I have some crackers." "Can you get those to us?" Another pause. A little longer. "Yeah, I think so. Where are you?" I laugh grimly as I tell him.
Ten minutes later Carl has tossed down some crackers which I've given to Allison. He's standing about forty feet above me and has already had to jump some wide chasms to get to us. We walk back and forth along the huge bluff, him above and me below. There is simply no easy way down. We scout out little ledges, possible hand or foot holds. When we've come up with the best line we can find, Carl starts to climb down. I quickly realize that he probably should've tossed me his backpack before starting. Now I can only hope it doesn't get snagged on a limb. He has to drop the last seven feet or so, but everything goes well.
After Allison eats the crackers we start the one kilometer walk. One thousand meters goes pretty quick on pavement, but in this terrain we just hope to get out before dark. We know we're near the truck sometime later when we pass what we thought earlier might have been a meth lab, a beat-up shack with two hoses leading from the rear up into the creek. On the way in we heard someone rummaging around out front, but this time we do not. We're thankful as encountering drug activity would be a bit of a problem. Nothing is worse than having someone know that you know something they don't want you to know, especially when that something could put them in prison. We don't find a meth-maker, but we don't find my sunglasses either; I'd lost them that morning and thought we might run across them on the way back. Over the weekend I'll buy a new pair and promptly run them over at 7:30 AM on Monday, a $50.00 error.

Just registered after recognizing that you seem to know what you're talking about. I agree with a lot of what is said on this site.
At the same time I was stunned I couldn't find any of the work of the Brothers Arkadi and Boris Strugatsky. It seems not many of their crucial works have even been translated into english, which is kind of sad really.
Prime example, check out Roadside Picnic, the basis for the film "Stalker" by Andrej Tarkovsky
I do not know if it has ever been translated, but The Doomed City was great stuff, asking things like how can you be alive and not want to risk anything, not want to find out what is behind current events, live the life of sheep etc. Very fitting for the current age, in my mind.
-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doomed_City
Also great: A trilogy carrying on the ideas first laid out in 'Hard to be a god', where humanity is subtly trying to steer more primitve civilizations away from self-destruction, a technique called progressing, while being progressed themselves by 'Wanderers', a mysterious super-civilization with motives you can't even guess at. All this taking place in the Noon universe, called like this after some kind of theory that all civilizations undergo a very similar evolution, starting from "dawn" and progressing upwards (if they don't kill themselves first). Humanity is at "noon" or at least it seemed like this.
Here's the titles in chronological order:
- Prisoners of Power
- Beetle in the Anthill
- The Time Wanderers
I'm writing this from work, so forgive me if I'm not too coherent Just wanted to point you in that direction, giving that the site and forum search turned up nothing - maybe spelling errors on my side?
Anyway, awesome site, been reading SF+F since forever and just realized how much I have missed- JUST GREAT!
Warmest wishes

The compact camera with near-DSLR quality is the holy grail of the digital compact camera market, and the search for it sure intensified during 2009.
The DSLRs hung in there with smaller versions of their entry-level models, packed with more features like built-in guides in the Nikon D3000 and the Sony Alpha 380. The Micro Four Thirds gang arguably hit closest to the target with the popular Olympus PEN E-P1 and the Panasonic GF1, but although both cameras were smaller than the smallest DSLRs, they were comparably bigger than any compact.
And where was Canon going to be in this zone? We all thought we knew: an update to the PowerShot
G-series - bigger sensor than a compact, but larger and heavier. We guessed right, the G11 was released with a swivel LCD screen, but no one saw the surprise camera that was announced together with the G11, the PowerShot S90.
Why is a larger sensor such a big deal? Generally, a larger sensor gives you sharper, clearer images with less noise. A standard compact camera like the Canon IXUS 100 IS has a sensor measuring 0.435-inch diagonally, the PowerShot G11 has a sensor that is 0.588-inch diagonal, and the Canon EOS 500D DSLR has a sensor that's 1.056-inch diagonal. That's why DSLRs give you better-looking pictures!
And that's what makes the S90 so exciting. Canon has somehow managed to take the large sensor of the G-series and squeezed it into a compact camera body that's only slightly larger than a regular compact. Not only that, they've included full manual controls, and a unique manual control ring that's not even found on the G-series. All this would have been exciting enough, but they even threw in a fast f/2 lens, which is no less of a shot across the bow for near rival Panasonic LX3 which also features an f/2 lens.
Does it work though? The G10 had some issues with image noise, did Canon manage to overcome that with the S90 or is it still a noisy camera? Does the larger sensor work well in a smaller body than the G11's? Does the new-style manual control ring work, or is it a doomed innovation that shouldn't have left the planning room? Has Canon found the holy grail with the S90? Yes, yes, no, yes, yes and maybe. Read on and find out why.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 26 (UPI) -- A small U.S. study found learning stress management techniques helped people trying to lose weight.
Kelly Webber, associate professor in the University of Kentucky's Department of Dietetics and Human Nutrition, compared the effectiveness of an intuitive eating-based intervention to a stress management-based intervention, developed at the University of California, San Francisco.
"With weight loss we know that if you count calories and exercise you will lose weight, however a large percentage of people tend to regain that weight," Webber said in a statement. "I wanted to explore a couple of new avenues for producing lasting weight loss."
The intuitive eating intervention required people to regularly pay attention to their bodies and their hunger and fullness signals, or eat only when hungry and until they are full, Webber said.
The pilot study involved 26 participants from the Lexington, Ky., area, who were divided into two groups. The groups met either with Webber or a certified trainer in the stress management intervention for 75 minutes twice a week for seven weeks.
The study found participants in the stress management intervention lost as much as 17 pounds during the time period and, on average, saw a significant decrease in blood pressure, while participants in the intuitive eating intervention did not lose a significant amount of weight. The weight loss held up at a 14-week follow-up, Webber said.
"So many people in my weight loss studies, myself included, say 'I'm a stress eater or I'm an emotional eater,' and this stress management based intervention seems to be getting at the root of the problem," Webber said. "It's the very beginning of my exploration of this, but it's very encouraging."

St. Louis scores in OT; Lightning beat Hawks
Send a link to a friend
[October 25, 2013]
TAMPA, Fla.
(AP) -- Martin St. Louis scored 1:16 of overtime and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-5 on Thursday night.
St. Louis got the game-winner from in-close. The Tampa Bay captain also had an assist and moved past Neal Broten (923) for 93rd place on the career points list with 924.
Steven Stamkos scored a tiebreaking power-play goal as the Tampa Bay went up 5-4 at 17:31 of the third.
Chicago's Jonathan Toews was credited a game-tying goal with 1:49 left in the period after the Lightning put the puck into their own net.
Stamkos finished with two goals and two assists. Matt Carle, Nate Thompson and Victor Hedman had the other Tampa Bay goals.
Chicago also got goals from Bryan Bickell, Marian Hossa, Patrick Kane and Andrew Shaw. Kane assisted on Shaw's goal, giving him five goals and 15 points in eight games against Tampa Bay.
Chicago took a 4-3 lead 93 seconds into the third on Shaw's in-close power-play goal. It was the first time the Blackhawks have scored during the third period since opening night.
Hedman's first goal in 41 games tied it at 4 at 11:03 of the third.
After blowing a two-goal lead, Stamkos gave Tampa Bay a 3-2 advantage at 17:21 of the second when he beat backup goalie Nikolai Khabibulin from the top of the right circle. It was just Khabibulin's second start in Tampa since helping the Lightning win the 2004 Stanley Cup.
[to top of second column]
Kane pulled the Blackhawks even at 3-3 on a breakaway goal with 1:07 remaining in the second.
Bickell cut the Blackhawks' deficit to 2-1 with a rebound goal with 11 minutes left in the second. The left wing has a goal in three consecutive games.
Chicago tied it at 2-all on Hossa's thigh-high re-direction that eluded Ben Bishop 1:36 after Bickell scored. Hossa has 438 goals, which ties him for 62nd place all-time with Gary Roberts.
Tampa Bay took advantage of its first power play as Carle put the Lightning up 1-0 6:28 into the game. The Blackhawks entered with the NHL's third-worst short-handed unit.
Thompson stopped a 19-game goal drought to make it 2-0 during a short-handed 2-on-1 at 1:24 of the second.
NOTES: There were a number of Hockey Hall of Famers with ties to the Blackhawks in attendance. Current Lightning broadcaster Phil Esposito spent time with former teammate Bobby Hull. Others at the game included Stan Mikita and current Blackhawks senior adviser Scotty Bowman. ... Stamkos has nine goals and 14 points in seven games against the Blackhawks. ... Chicago D Michael Kostka is expected to miss four to six weeks due to a lower-body injury. He was hurt during practice Tuesday.

It can be very concerning to find a lost pet, and most of us want to find the owner as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, at this time, there is not a way to match the collar with the owner. Contact your local animal control to understand what services are available in your area to help locate the owner.Close
The Test Light Tool is used to tell if your collar is working properly. Hold the tool against the contact points and activate the collar. The tool will light up if the collar is activating. For a remote trainer, activate the correction using the transmitter. For a fence, move the collar near the boundary, holding the collar at your dog's neck height. For a bark collar, activate it by rubbing the contact points against a rough surface.Close
No. This can result in pulling the contact points too tightly against your pets neck. Attach a leash to a separate, non-metallic collar positioned above the receiver collar.Close
Yes, the system can be used as long as the cat can comfortably wear the receiver collar. We also offer a special in-ground receiver collar just for cats (not compatible with wireless systems).Close
We do not recommend any of our products to be used on aggressive dogs. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.Close
Yes, the receiver can be place on any non-metallic strap. However, you must be able and willing to "punch" two holes in your pet's current collar so that the contact points can be properly inserted. Be advised; do not attach a leash to a collar that has a receiver on it. This can cause additional pressure on your pets neck through the contact points in the collar.Close
The proper fit and placement of your receiver collar is important for effective training. The contact points must have direct contact with your pets skin on the underside of their neck.
If your collar is a QuickFit collar, it is designed so you can quickly attach and remove the Receiver Collar from your pet while maintaining the desired fit.
Replacing the Receiver on a New Collar Strap
Never leave the receiver collar on your pet for more than 12 consecutive hours and remove the receiver collar from your pet when indoors for the comfort of your pet.
Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Here are some important steps for the health and comfort of your pet:
If a rash or sore is found on your pet:
For best results, your pet should be 4 to 6 months old and know basic commands such as sit and stay.Close
No. You would need to purchase a separate remote training system. Please browse our site or contact our Customer Care Center for more information.Close
This can happen if the static correction level is too high. It is best to start on the lowest level of correction and increase the levels gradually. To solve your immediate issue, lower the static correction level and reassure your pet and offer praise.
Make sure you are in control of the situation when your pet receives his/her first static corrections (have him/her on a leash attached to a separate, non-metallic collar) and lead him into the pet area and praise him/her. If your pet remains fearful, suspend training and start again the next day. Make sure to end all training sessions on a positive note with lots of praise and play.Close
Complete the following procedure to diagnosis the issue:
If the test light flashes, your collar is working and you should try/check the following:
If the test light tool does not flash, there is an issue with the collar. Please call our Customer Care Center.Close
All pets are different, so it's important to be patient with yourself and your pet. Some pets may understand the training quickly, and others may take more time. Paying attention to your pet while you are going through the training and having patience will ensure you both enjoy years of freedom and safety.
The goal of phase 1 training is to familiarize your pet with the boundary flags, boundary, tone, and correction. You will introduce your pet to the tone and the static correction and teach your pet where it happens.
Familiarizing Your Pet With the Boundary Flags
Introducing Your Pet to the Static Correction
Training sessions should start at 10-15 minutes, gradually increasing to over an hour. Your pet is ready for this step only when he clearly avoids the entire boundary flag line, regardless of any distractions or temptations. During this step, do not leave your pet unattended.
To train your pet to stay within the pet area even with distractions outside of the pet area.
To give your pet free run of the pet area off the leash.
The Boundary Flags are visual reminders for your pet of where the Boundary Zone is located. The Receiver Collar will activate within 2 to 3 feet of the Boundary Flags. The flags should go just inside the boundary zone along the wire. To locate the wire:
Note: the higher the level of correction of the receiver collar, the brighter the light with flash. If you cannot see the light flash, increase the level of correction of the collar.
The static correction is safe and harmless. It is effective enough to get your pet's attention. The correction produces less energy than that produced by a static shock from carpeting.Close
No. Electronic fencing is only effective on pets who wear the Receiver Collar. Other animals can still enter your yard.Close
The Little Dog In-Ground Fence™ was designed just for little dogs to wear comfortably, and the In-Ground Cat Fence™, designed just for cats, comes with our lightest collar.
While we recommend your pet be at least 5 or 8 pounds to wear our wireless or in-ground collars, many smaller dogs and even cats can wear collars from other fences. That means you can add your new small dog to your existing system, or you can purchase a wireless fence and collars for each pet.
Our office dogs have personally tested these collars to make sure they will work for your pets.
Wireless Fence Collars
Bao, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier who weighs 4 pounds after a big meal, is wearing the Stay+Play Wireless Fence® Rechargeable Receiver Collar. The collar weighs about 3 ounces.
Oliver, a 4-pound Chihuahua, can easily fit the Wireless Fence Receiver Collar for our original Wireless Pet Containment System™. The collar weighs 2.5 ounces.
In-Ground Fence Collars
Oliver the 4-pound Chihuahua loves showing off his In-Ground UltraLight™ Receiver Collar, which weighs 2.64 ounces. This is the standard collar that comes with the Basic In-Ground Fence™ and In-Ground Fence™.
4-pound Yorkie Bao has no trouble wearing the YardMax® Rechargeable In-Ground Fence™ Receiver Collar either. This collar weighs only 1.5 ounces.
Which Collar Will Work with My System?
If you're purchasing an extra collar, check the Fence Collar Compatibility Chart to make sure the collar will work with your existing system.Close
Once your pet learns the Boundary Zone, he will be reluctant to cross it for walks or car rides. You may need to convince your pet to leave the Pet Area with treats and praise.
Before you take your pet across the Boundary Zone, remove the Receiver Collar. Make sure your pet is wearing his standard collar and attach a leash to the collar.
There are 3 ways to take your pet outside the Boundary Zone.

Ready for the Dodgers' glorified one-month spring training?
Early fall, style? That's what it's come to, really.
With all due respect to Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, who respectfully declined to think too far down the road when the calendar flipped over from August to September on Sunday, but with the club continuing to tinker with the roster despite leading its division by 11 1/2 games, it's pretty obvious the objective is now setting things up correctly for a deep run in the postseason.
'You're just looking for guys who can help you,' Mattingly said.
The latest addition was veteran infielder Michael Young, whom the Dodgers acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies late Saturday night to beef up bench depth.
'Quality player, playoff experience, played in the World Series and can play all over the field,' Mattingly said of Young.
By sliding Young into the fold before 9 p,m. Saturday night, he's eligible to be on the 25-man playoff roster. Same with Edinson Volquez, a live-arm - albeit struggling - starting pitcher who, if he's right, can be an intriguing arm out of the bullpen at some point.
The Dodgers added Volquez last week, and will give him this month to show he can be counted on during the postseason.
Same with fellow reliever Brian Wilson, who joined the club two weeks ago and will audition for a playoff role over the final weeks of the regular season.
That's what it's come to for the Dodgers, whose only concern the rest of the way is staying healthy and avoiding some sort of epic, unfathomable collapse.
Assuming they close out the division as expected - and stay healthy - they'll fly into the postseason a prohibitive favorite to get to the World Series.
They may not admit that, but they know that.
Which is why the Dodgers were stockpiling potential playoff help literally right up to the last second possible this week, creating an interesting subplot to what's become the routine process of winning their division.
The only drama remaining being who ends up making the coveted 25-man playoff roster?
To find out, you'll have to pay attention the rest of the way.
Because make no doubt, players like Wilson and Chris Capuano and Brandon League and Carlos Marmol will spend the rest of September fighting for a chance to make that coveted roster.
Which gives the rest of the season a bit of a spring training feel to it.
And that's not even considering Matt Kemp, who is rehabbing his sprained left ankle in the minor leagues and hopes to re-join the Dodgers in a few days.
When he does, the objective the next month will be figuring out the best 25-man team the Dodgers can soar into the playoffs with a roster that might look decidedly different than the one that broke spring training.
Maybe not in the everyday lineup, but certainly the bench, the starting rotation and in the bullpen.
You're only as good as your weakest link, the saying goes, and the Dodgers are working diligently to make sure they have all their bases covered.
'You're always trying to get better,' Mattingly said.
This is no longer about making the playoffs.
It's about doing something special once they get there.
Mattingly won't go there - yet - but then again, he's paid to worry about the daily grind and the Dodgers' magic number of 18 to clinch a playoff spot.
Not how the 25-man playoff roster will look when they do.
That's fine. Baseball players are a superstitious bunch, and it behooves Mattingly to focus on the task at hand rather than be accused of jinxing the Dodgers' playoff hopes by publicly assuming something so elusive as a division title or postseason berth.
But the playoffs are imminent at this point, and even the Dodgers know that.
The focus now is sharpening, assessing and planning.
This is no longer about making the playoffs.
This is about winning a World Series.

The Steeler nation lost a great fan this week with the passing of Furys grandmother I am sure Grandma Fury is sitting at the Steelers table with The Chief, Mike Webster, Ray Mansfield and Bobby Layne in Valhalla telling stories I am sure their preparing to watch the Steelers kick the **** out of the Ravens from the best seat in the house.
Mike Tomlin and his coaching staff did a very good job against the Bengals last week. The Steelers implemented a bend but not break style of defense It made a lot of sense; this style of defense eliminates the quick strike scoring it forces the Bengals to make plays inside of the Red zone. The Steelers offense was balanced and golden The Bengals defense sucks I dont have warm fuzzy feelings about the offense to be honest The Steelers offensive line must play a great game as a unit against the Ravens.
I really hate the Ravens I generally only hate quality teams and the Ravens are still a quality team. Lets look back to the 2006 season The Ravens defense held the Steelers rushing game to a total of 84 yards in 2 games, sacked Steeler quarterbacks 14 times forced six turnovers and the cherry on top The Steelers converted 3 of 26 3rd downs (11.5%) The 2007 Ravens defense is ranked second in the NFL for a reason Great scheme and very good players The Steelers offense must make plays.
Mike Tomlin is saying all the right things this week. I am not big on quotes and the rah rah aspect of the game This coach speak is very telling to me.
They came to play, said Tomlin about the Ravens performance in those games. They applied pressure to the quarterback. They didnt allow us to run the football effectively. They played their game and I am sure they are going to be intent on playing their game this year. We have to play ours.
As far as I can see, they have changed very little, said Tomlin. They have Jarret Johnson in that position now and he is showing quite a bit of versatility. They are still running the same or similar packages that they have run in the past.
I didnt look at last years tapes with the mentality of looking for mismatches or having an understanding of what our guys were being asked to do, said Tomlin. I was just looking for their playing personality when they play the Pittsburgh Steelers, what they were intent on getting done.
If you have young children I would not recommend letting them watch this game I expect a blood bath, a body bag game I expect the Steelers to come out flying. Tomlin will not allow this team to be violated again.
Did you know?
-The Steelers are unbeaten at Heinz Field this season and have not lost a Monday night game at home in 16 seasons
-The Steelers have won 5 out of the last 6 meetings against the Ravens at Heinz Field (playoffs included)
- The Steelers throw back uniforms are hideous
*Ravens with the Ball*
Steve Mcnair is a Steeler killer He needs to be placed firmly on his back every time he drops back to pass. The Ravens offensive line should be back to full strength this week. Jonathan Ogden is not the dominant force he once was He is a quality player I am not a fan of any other starter on the Ravens offensive line. The Ravens skill positions on offense are decent I expect Todd Heap to play Heap is a big boy who tries to block in the run game He is a major matchup problem for any Steeler defender in the passing game I expect Anthony Controlled Fury Smith to look for a big shot on Heap. Quinn Sypniewski has become a glorified tackle masquerading as a TE The Ravens Wrs are under sized and they have failed to make explosive plays for the Ravens offense Derrick Mason is still Mcnairs favorite target after all these years He has caught 56 passes for a 9.5 yard average and 2 Tds The 2 other Wrs Mark Clayton and Demetrius Williams have combined for 37 catches 438 yards and zero Tds. The Ravens would love to pound there new over rated weapon Willis Mcgahee Mcgahee is as soft as warm butter He is Richard Huntley II I still believe the Bills robbed the Ravens.
-Ogden and Kiesel in the run game should be interesting I have no clue what Ogden has left No one does. Ogden was never an overpowering player in the run game He would win inside hand position and wall his body between the back and the defender Kiesel has been a major disappointment this season I would love to see Kiesel register some sacks He has to play the run better The Bengals had success running right at Kiesel The Ravens will attempt to pound the run right at Kiesel as well James Harrison can not be depended on to play at a dominant level every week Kiesel must show up to play this week.
-Ogden and James Harrison in pass Pro Everyone expects Ogden to dominate Harrison I dont. Harrison is strong enough and quick enough to give Ogden fits off the edge. Harrison finally showed some variety rushing the passer Harrison is strong enough to dip his shoulder and rip inside of a left tackle if he sets up his rush Harrisons speed rush isnt pretty But its effective Harrison is relentless chasing the ball Call me a fan. Harrison doesnt have to close the deal He must collapse the pocket off the edge.
-Jason Brown in the run game Brown played 2 great games against the Steelers last year. Brown is a short power house who can move a nose guard with a down block. Brown has been far and away the best Ravens offensive linemen in 07. This matchup is simple If Brown gets movement on Hampton with down blocks in the run game the Steelers are in trouble. Hampton must beat the blocks before he can pursue the ball If Hampton comes to play he will take Jason Brown to the woodshed When Casey Hampton comes to play he is unblockable.
-Kiesel and Brown in pass pro Brown dominated Kiesel last year in pass pro Kiesel played both games like an uninspired sissy Kiesel is the bigger faster more mobile man There is zero reason for Kiesel to be playing patty cake with Brown .Kiesel stands and titty fights with offensive linemen He needs to beat blocks Kiesel needs to show up and close the deal for the Steelers this week.
- Mike Flynn and Casey Hampton Hampton should dominate this matchup Flynn did a nice job last year against the Steelers The Steelers must dominate this matchup. I expect Hampton to have a nice game and force double teams all day long Hopefully The Snacks expectations are the same.
-Chris Chester in the run game This matchup I love for the Steelers. Chester doesnt have the cement in his pants to do anything with Hampton Chester is a blown up 245 pound TE He will spend a majority of the night picking painted green dirt out of his teeth Chester hasnt been forced to deal with a player like Hampton this season at guard I expect the Ravens to attempt to run the ball right And fail miserably.
-Chris Chester and Aaron Smith I believe the Steelers demolition man plays this week Getting your *** kicked twice the season before inspires hard nosed tough players Aaron Smith is those things He is also a stud. Smith will play his game of getting his hands inside of Chester and placing him in Mcnairs lap. If Smith cant go Nick Eason is a solid backup Eason isnt nearly as physical as Smith but he will play balls out Eason played every down hard last week His play was impressive to me.
-Adam Terry and Aaron Smith in the run game I really hope Smith is healthy enough to play I hate Adam Terry I always have Why I dont know His play reminds me of a poor mans James Williams(former Chicago Bear from Pittsburgh). Terry is a tall soft pansy who just does enough to get the job done I believe a semi healthy Aaron Smith kicks his *** up and down the field If Eason is forced to play I expect a ton of stalemates.
-Adam Terry and Clark Haggans/Lamar Woodley in pass pro Terry can be beat to the edge I expect Woodley to see increased playing time this week Terry is a big tall dork who throws his long arms out there and catches the pass rusher The Steelers edge rushers must force Terry to move his feet Terry seems far more comfortable on the left side than the right. I expect the Steelers to be able to pressure Mcnair off the edge from the right side of the offensive formation all game long. I wont be surprised if Terry is beat over the top (up his chest) by Haggans or Woodley.
*Skill Position matchups*
The Steelers must force the Ravens Wide Receivers to make plays That means no 12 yard cushions. I would matchup Deshea Townsend on Mason and Ike Taylor on Clayton. The Ravens offense is really struggling IC did a great job breaking down the Ravens inept offense. The Ravens offensive line is nothing special The Steelers front seven must dominate the line of scrimmage. The Steelers Outside linebackers must control the Ravens Tight Ends in the run game Funnel everything back inside where the Calvary can inflict some damage. James Farrior and Larry Foote must beat blocks and form tackle. Troy Polamula is just missing some huge plays I expect Troy to break out in a big way very soon I would not be surprised if this was the week Troy played awful last year against the Ravens Demetrius Williams embarrassed Troy last year I have a feeling Troy has pay back on his mind. Anthony Controlled Fury Smith needs to play his game He needs to lay the wood He hits like a sledgehammer with the conscience of a serial killer He is with out a doubt my favorite Steeler defender. I expect the Ravens to try to exploit the Steelers safeties with Todd Heap Good luck with that Heap may leave Pittsburgh in an ambulance if Mcnair throws the ball a little bit too high or outside. Willis Mcgahee is a bum A team killer I have zero fear of Mcgahee He will manage to hump the pooch by the end of the night Leron McClain is the second coming of Dan Krieder He is a devastating lead blocker at 260 pounds My biggest fear is simple The Ravens manage to block Hampton McClain has a free shot at a Steelers inside linebacker leaving Mcgahee with one tackle (The safety) to beat to get to the end zone.
*The Steelers with the Ball.
The Ravens will Heat the Steelers up The Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan comes off the charter flight blitzing The Steelers offense must be prepared for the multiple looks the Ravens defense will show. I expect Chris McAllister to miss the game this week He will be a huge loss for the Ravens defense. Trevor Pryce will play in a limited role this week out of the nickel and dime packages Kendoll Simmons and Willie Colon must play and play well against Pryce this week The Ravens had a ton of success sliding Pryce inside over Simmons last year. Ravens defensive stars Terrell Suggs and Bart Scott are having quiet seasons From a Steelers perspective lets hope that continues. Ray Lewis is way over rated He is still a football playing SOB who can make plays at critical times. Ed Reed is as good as it gets in coverage He wants no parts of the run game. Speaking of the run game The Steelers offensive line must dominate the play side of the formation In other words they must reestablish the line of scrimmage by driving their man off the ball They must get a hat on a hat. The Ravens defense is very good in 07 It can not compare to the Ravens defense of 2006.
-Marvel Smith and Terrell Suggs This matchup should be interesting, Marvel Smith should dominate the run game( I dont believe he does) Ben has to help the Oline by varying his snap count Justin Smith was all over the snap count last week He was off the ball before the offensive line were out of their stances at times. Suggs likes to run his mouth Smith can shut him up by beating him down in the run game. Marvel Smith must play with an edge this week in the run game. I believe Suggs has a big advantage in Pass Pro Smith just humps the pooch at times in Pass Pro He seems to lose interest When he loses interest Ben could lose his life.
-Haloti Ngata and Alan Faneca Another key matchup Ngata is the most mobile big man I have ever seen on film Faneca needs to bring a lunch this week He must be ready to put in a full day of work. The run game should be even Faneca needs to knock Ngata off his pins early and often Ngata can have his will broken He will tire and play half assed The reason the Ravens defense is rated number one against the run is simple No team has figured a way to block Ngata for an entire game. In Pass Pro Ngata has 1 rush move Straight bull rush If Faneca stands straight up and attempts to overpower Ngata he will be embarrassed just like he was last year.
-Sean Mahan must keep his head on a swivel In the run game Mahan has to come off the ball Mahan must help the play side guard with the double team like there is no tomorrow The Steelers must get that initial movement at the line of scrimmage I dont care if Mahan fails to scoop the linebacker Dominating the line of scrimmage is key to the Steelers success. In Pass pro the Ravens will fill all the gaps and force Ben to throw the ball Mahan must protect his interior gap and allow Ben to make plays.
-Kendoll Simmons and Kelly Gregg Battle of the midgets. Simmons is the bigger stronger man He should be able to hold his own against Gregg I doubt he does Simmons is just a waste of a human being And thats all I have to say about that.
-Willie Colon and Dwan Edwards .Edwards is going to kick Colons *** in the run game Edwards has played very well in the place of Trevor Pryce. Edwards and Colon are identical in size and stature Edwards plays with nastiness and edge that Colon doesnt possess in his bag of tricks Colon has no understanding of leverage or when his feet stop the block stops.
-Willie Colon and Trevor Pryce in pass pro I expect Colon to do very well in this aspect of the game Hardnosed hit the nail on the head regarding Colon earlier in the year Colon plays a lot like a poor mans Derrick Deese Colon can slide his feet and take a beating (I guess he is used to taking the beating from his play in the run game) Colon needs to keep his weight on his heels and his head back Colon can not over extend against a savvy pro like Pryce.
*Skill position matchups*
I dont believe Samuel L. McAllister plays this week That leaves Ed Reed as the only Ravens defensive back that can run Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes should own either Corey Ivey or Samari Rolle in the passing game. The Steelers must spread out the Ravens and attack them vertically at times The Steelers Receivers can beat the Ravens corners on 5 step drops vertically Arians must look to attack early and often. Ben must make accurate throws Ben must make smart decisions with the ball. Ben has the chance to make his statement as the 3rd best quarterback in the NFL on national TV Ben has a lot of demons to exercise after last season This is his first step. Heath Miller and Matt Spaeth must beat the **** out of Jarret Johnson and Bart Scott in the run game I like the idea of taking a 15 yard penalty against that dirty piece of **** Bart Scott Miller needs to lock on and drive his *** off the field. Spaeth could be a major factor this week if the Ravens lock a backer on him in coverage I dont believe there is a backer on the Ravens roster that can cover the Steelers Tight Ends. Willie Parker needs to attack the hole if he sees a crack That crack can turn into a major hole quickly Parker must read the blitz and block his balls off Dont be surprised to see the Steelers run a little wheel route to Parker out of the back field early in the game Force the Ravens to account for him on every down. Whoever the Steelers fullback is he better be ready for a bloody nose When he is in the game he is going to be in seek and destroy mode I hope its Krieder and I hope he destroys Ray Ray again.
*Special Teams*
The Ravens are better in every aspect of special teams.

Columbia Agencies Look to Solve Poverty Problem Early
BOONE COUNTY - Some Columbia community organizations are banding together to intervene in the lives of youth and break a cycle of increasing poverty.
The latest census numbers show poverty is a prevalent problem in Mid-Missouri and affects one out of every five Columbians.
From 2000 to 2010, Boone County's population grew twenty percent. In that same decade, the number of kids living in poverty in and around Columbia jumped 49 percent.
Some local agencies like the United Way strive to make poor children and their families a priority when they make budget decisions. The United Way told KOMU 8 News it makes youth a priority because of numerous research studies that show communities are more likely to make a positive impact on the lives of the poor if they invest in underprivileged youth at an early age.
At the Blind Boone Center, free summer camp programs offer a guaranteed lunch. Kids are allowed to eat as much as they want, and they can take home anything others do not want.
Veronica Martinez works with dozens of children each weekday at the summer camps.
"A lot of them come out of single parent homes. Their mom is at work, or their dad," Martinez said. "It's free, they know they're safe and out of harms way. They know they're going to get a good snack, a good meal at least, and education behind it most of all."
Organizers said the summer camps offer educational programming because the research finds that when kids from poor communities "plug in" to education, they have a much higher chance of learning skills that can help them rise above the conditions
The U.S. Census Bureau, the Annie E. Casey Foundation's annual "Kids Count" report and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's National Child Well-Being report all show early childhood education is heavily correlated with reduced poverty rates, reduced teen pregnancy, reduced substance abuse and lower drop-out rates.
Cathy Cox, a Benton Elementary School home school coordinator said, "What's sad is a lot of kids who come from poorer families, a lot of times don't learn how to not be poor. The life skills are very different. They learn manipulation, how to ask, how to beg, how to barrow. It's how to do whatever you can, under the table."
School districts often use the number of students who qualify for free and reduced as a benchmark for figuring out how many kids are living at or near the poverty line. The most recent numbers show 38 percent of kids in the Columbia School District qualify and 80 percent of the students at Benton Elementary do. At Core, an alternative school, 77 percent of students qualify. At West Boulevard Elementary, 73 percent of students qualify. Further, more than 60 percent of students at Alpha Hart, Blue Ridge, Field and Parkade Elementaries qualify and so 60 percent of the students at Douglas High School, the district's alternative high school.
Standardized test scores are an important indicator of academic performance. In Columbia, students receiving free or reduced lunches do not perform as well as the students whose bellies are more likely to be full.
"We've failed our families for looking ahead to the future and beyond right now," Cox said.
Organizations like the United Way and Missouri Community Action are pumping money and resources into intervening early on behalf of kids living in poverty, all in hope of starting to turn poverty numbers around.
The organizations note that if kids can hang on in the end, some of them will have a better shot at getting out of poverty in their lifetime. According to the Missouri Housing Authority, every ten dollars committed to early childhood education leads to seventy dollars in future economic benefit.

The speaker cones on a brand new set of speakers—even cheap ones like these—shouldn't look like that. Nope that's definitely wrong. I hope it's fixable. Someone at Brando Workshop is going to get fired.
These little USB speakers come with suction cups on the back so that you can stick them to your tablet. It looks like those suction cups weren't working very well and the product photographer smashed down on the speakers to get them to stick—popping the speaker cones in. Bad design. I mean, I don't think that's some crazy speaker technology I've never seen before. Not for £10. Looks like plastic. I know these are supposed to be cheap, but take a little pride in your work! At least pretend they don't suck. [Brando Workshop Ubergizmo]

No, I have not forgotten about this blog.
Between being gone for 4 days to Chicago for a family visit, the return-home-and-recover-from-being-gone thing, my tomatoes and green beans coming on in droves at the same time in my garden and needing to be canned, construction beginning on my 'back' room area of my house, and a recently diagnosed 4-year-old with a 102.8 fever, the poor ol' computer just isn't getting
the attention she is used to any attention right now!
And, to top off my madness....I left my stinkin' camera battery in Chicago.
Thankfully, my MIL is mailing it to me....but I am seriously lost without my camera. I would love to show you pics of our weekend, and of our newest construction project, but *sigh* it will have to wait.
See you.....sooner rather than later, I hope, but I'm not promising!

Yeah, it's knocking on, but the Cooler Master Cavalier is still one of the classiest cases around. Its screwless design ensures faffless upgrades, and the door is reassuringly chunky. It's also been on the market a while now, meaning it can be had for around £45 - possibly even less - if you shop around like a ninja. We prefer it in black, as shown here, but brushed alu is also an option.
Cooler Master Cavalier review
It may be getting on but it's still turning heads
Our Verdict
It's a classic Cooler Master case
Screwless design
Cheap as chips
Stylish lines
It's huge
A bit too big?

(Shenath shabbathon, "Year of rest"; Septuagint eniautos anapauseos; Vulgate annus requietionis).
The seventh year, devoted to cessation of agriculture, and holding in the period of seven years a place analogous to that of the Sabbath in the week; also called "Year of Remission".
Three prescriptions were to be observed during the year (Exodus 23:10-11; Leviticus 25:1-7; Deuteronomy 15:1-11, 31:10-13):
Since the sabbatical year was preceded by six sowings and six harvests (Exodus 23:10), it began with autumn, the time of sowing, and probably coincided with the civil year, which began with the month of Tishri (September-October); some commentators, however, think that like the year of jubilee it began on the tenth of the month.
The year was not well observed before the Captivity (cf. 2 Chronicles 36:21 and Leviticus 26:34, 35, 43). After the return, the people covenanted to let the land lie fallow and to exact no debt in the seventh year (Nehemiah 10:31), and thereafter it was regularly kept. The occurrence of a sabbatical year is mentioned in I Machabees 6:49 and 6:53, and its observance is several times referred to by Josephus (Jewish Wars I:2:4; Antiquities XI:8:5-6; XIII:8:1; XIV:16:2).
The absence of any allusion to the celebration of the sabbatical year in pre-exilic times has led modern critics to assert that it was instituted at the time of the Restoration, or that at least the custom of allowing all fields to lie fallow simultaneously was then introduced. But it is hardly credible that the struggling community would have adopted a custom calculated to have a seriously disturbing effect on economic conditions, and without example among other nations, unless it had the sanction of venerable antiquity.
The main object for which the sabbatical year was instituted was to bring home to the people that the land was the Lord's, and that they were merely His tenants at will (Leviticus 25:23). In that year He exercised His right of sovereign dominion. Secondarily it was to excite their faith and reliance on God (Leviticus 25:20-22), and to stimulate their faithfulness to His Law (Deuteronomy 31:10-13).

So I got to thinking after having worked a few expos and hearing the feedback of some runners, I have a question to ask those runners out there. Do you think that having a bad race experience is due to you not hitting a 'goal' whether it be a certain time, or some type of goal you may have set for yourself can negativly affect your race experience, no matter how the actual 'race experience' is?
That's a word that we talk about a lot at work. The race experience. What will the runner remember. I'm starting to think though a bad race can negatively affect the race experience, no matter what the race does to make it excellent.
Take my own experience for example. Many people LOVE Rock and Roll races, like live and die by them. My very first marathon was the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon last May. I had a horrible time there due to my stomach problems and missing my 'goal' time by a lot. Ever since then, I've been a vocal hater of the Rock and Rolls. I'm not a fan of listening to bands for about 30 seconds as I run by and I've come to realize I'm not a a 'big race' girl. So to each their own. The porta-potty lines were shorter, the waves were managed better, the course was meh, but it wasn't a horrible race, but I personally HATED it. Thus meaning I now group all Rock and Rolls together and talk about how much hatred I have for them. Fair? No, but I do it.
Then we have the other side of the spectrum, Long Beach was and still is my prized race, which was where I went below my goal time and had the race I dreamed of and wanted to be my first marathon experience. So I didn't mind the crazy lines at the porta-potty and the fact that it was a cluster mess at the start. Since it was a hometown race, I didn't have to do the whole traveling situation and since I started in the back in the pack, I wasn't in with the huge packs at the front. Before the race I was so relaxed I didn't even freak out about my d-tag missing and the horrendous gear check area and I didn't even pick up my gear check bag after the race or even travel into the 'post-race' area/festival. Yet, none of those things bother me as my heart is full with joy about my time and the experience of the race. How I smiled from start to finish. That was my best 'race experience' but I've realized it was totally based on ME and my experience.
So I've talked to many people about different races and I think, according to my not so official research, this has something to do with how people feel about a race due to their own performance. A guy came up to our booth and literally ripped us a new one a few weeks back. Not everyone loves Long Beach like I do. He harped on the bathrooms, the waves, the crowds, the course, the hills, the parking. I swear there wasn't one thing he left out, and to you mister, don't worry, we discuss these things, in depth daily. We KNOW about the things that went wrong. :) I asked him about his time and he said since it was so crowded and hilly he missed his PR, which he was going for. He told me about another race that he'd run that was much better.
Working in the running industry is pretty crazy at times, there are some things to think about that never crossed my mind before. Bike Fencing, Porta-potties, signage, sponsor areas, everything that goes into putting on a race is insane! So what do you think? A race where YOU didn't do what you wanted becomes a thorn in your mind, whether or not it was a "good race"?
Thoughts to ponder. :)
