I'm trying to install VMware but I'm having a problem. When i compiled my kernel, i used gcc-3.3.3 and now i've since upgraded to gcc-3.4.0. However, VMware complains that i need to use the same gcc that I used to compile my kernel. I'd rather not recompile my kernel. Is there a simple way to revert gcc back to version 3.3.3.
"Oh, they have the internet on computers now."
This gcc 3.4 thing is deadly. I just tried to build a 2.6.6 kernel,
and it will not get past make menuconfig.
Then it barfs real bad about an internal gcc error and requests
a bug report. There is no way I can find to get round this.
So the problem is to replace gcc 3.4 with something that works.
Getting rid of gcc 3.4 is easy. Just remember that somthing else might break when you do this.
pacman -Rd gcc
Getting gcc 3.3 is easy too,
you can use another rsynch server if you wish.
My problem is how to convince pacman that gcc 3.3
should be in a database?
:?: pacman -A ?? gcc 3.3 :?:
My local current.db.tar.gz only believes in gcc 3.4
After this problem is fixed, you need an entry in your
/etc/pcman.conf that adds gcc to the NoUpgrade list.
Sorry I only have half the answer to your problem. However it is also possible to run 2 different versions of gcc ( according to the gcc people ) but I have never tried to do that.
Yes, it's possible to have two gcc versions.
When I build Linux From Scratch, it had me install
gcc 2.9x and gcc 3.x.
This shows how to install 2.9x when the other one is already installed. As you can see in it, you have to give '--prefix=/opt/gcc-2.95.3' or whatever you want to the gcc configure script.
Hope this helped somehow.
in more ways than one.
I have removed 3.4, and installed 3.3
but small things lime man dont work anymore.
However the kernel 2.6.6 does compile ( so far ), and after I
install it, I will upgrade back to gcc 3.4
I type too soon, kernel build falls over, but gets quite a distance into the build. So the answer is to keep gcc 3.4, and do a seperate installation of 3.3.whatever.
I tried all that on a spare box, so it is not a disaster, and reinstalling arch is not a problem, but when I do I will zap gcc upgrades in /etc/pacman.conf
This gcc 3.4 thing is deadly. I just tried to build a 2.6.6 kernel,and it will not get past make menuconfig
I've built 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 kernels here with gcc 3.4, never had a problem with menuconfig. I also recompiled glibc with -O3, using gcc 3.4, and have no problems. gcc 3.4 fixed many bugs which remain in 3.3.X.
I did have some weirdness with arch after installing, but that was before I used abs to recompile everything from source. After using gcc 3.4 to recompile all my packages with -O3, and using pacman -U to upgrade each package, I've had no problems.
The sturgeon general says don't smoke fish
I type too soon, kernel build falls over
Sounds like hardware problems. No problem here with kernel build using gcc 3.4.
The sturgeon general says don't smoke fish
kernel 2.6.6 builds just fine on gcc 3.4 and gcc-current for that matter - Andrew pushed patches to Linux for 2.6.5 I recall - we had (and made) a large part of them in Love-sources, and I have personally build several kernels with this compiler and the prereleases - hell I ran CVS when I was on Gentoo just for the hell of it.
I'm proud to be a a freedomloving infidel piece of treehugging eurotrash.
Thanks for y'alls help. I was able to download the gcc-3.3.3-1.pkg.tar.gz and then use
pacman --upgrade gcc-3.3.3-1.pkg.tar.gz
obviously there were several things that then failed, but I was able to run vmware-install.pl and get it installed. Then after running the vmware-config.pl script I ran pacman -Syu and returned to gcc-3.4.0
Unfortunatly, I'm getting other issues with VMware. But I'll worry about that later.
Thanks for the help
"Oh, they have the internet on computers now."
Hardware is perfect.
Celery 1.8
1G ram.
I built a 2.3 kernel on that box, no problems.
I have not got round to doing a fresh install yet, but like I said, linux 2.6.6 & gcc 3.4 falls over on make menuconfig, claiming an internal gcc error and a request for a bug report.
After I find the CD and revitalise it, I will upgrade immediately and see if it still barfs.
Right now I am on a more important machine, and there is no way I will touch this baby.
384M ram
gcc 3.4
linux 2.6.5 strainght from the archives.
Do we apply patches to our GCC?
Also the full error would be helpful along with a CORRECTED bugreport, you mention kernel 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 - WHICH is it
Seriously this looks more to me like "I can't make it fucking work so you all suck" than a real bugreport.
I'm proud to be a a freedomloving infidel piece of treehugging eurotrash.
He's using VMware, I wouldn't bother trying to fix it, really.
GCC isn't patched (why should it?) as far as I know, but you can check that on the Arch website by searching for gcc. On the package info page there's a link to the web CVS of the pkgbuild.
VMWare is designed to use System V startup scripts and only supports that.
I think Arch uses the BSD style startup scripts.
It can be cheated to be installed on a bsd style system though...
Seriously this looks more to me like "I can't make it fucking work so you all suck"
For a while there, arch was a nice quiet neighborhood. But now there's an influx of gentoo refugees who bring their characteristic profanity and bad attitude. There goes the neighborhood.

Nice discrimination. Guess you don't even feel embarrased. If you want to insult certain people then do it in their face, not cowardly with a general discriminating statement.
[To some forum mod: perhaps a good idea to do something before this flaming continues? ]
Lovechild is hardcore linux, he had his own kernel MAN

"open-source is [...] programming Darwinism."

Isn't it ironic how you just borked the thread with your bad attitude? There was "gentoo refugees" here before you joined you know.

Graduate Course on Standard Model & Quantum Field Theory
It has been conjectured that maximally supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is dual to a String Theory on asymptotically AdS_5 times S^5 backgrounds. This is known as the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this talk I will show how using one-loop calculations in the gauge theory, one can study the emergence of the dual String Theory. We will see, quite explicitly, the emergence of closed strings, D-branes, open strings and space-time itself. This is done in a reduced sector (SU(2) sector), where the gauge theory can be written as Matrix Quantum Mechanics.
In the context of AdS/CFT, it has been recently proposed that Wilson loops in higher representation of the gauge group have a dual description in terms of D-branes in AdS_5xS^5. After reviewing this new dictionary, I will present a computation of correlators between chiral primaries of N=4 SYM and Wilson loops in large symmetric and antisymmetric representations. These correlators can be computed both in supergravity using D-branes and in gauge theory from a matrix model, with precise agreement between the two sides
Due to recent, as well as less recent, work on perturbative N=8 supergravity and N=4 super Yang-Mills in 4d, the two theories are appearing more and more closely related. These relations include similar \"MHV-rule\" constructions, one-loop structure and, perhaps, the same UV behavior, namely UV finiteness. This talk introduces some of the methods to study the relations.
Quantum gravity in an AdS space-time is described by an SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on a sphere, a bounded many-body system. We argue that in the high temperature phase the theory is intrinsically non-perturbative in the large N limit. At any nonzero value of the \\\'t Hooft coupling $lambda$, an exponentially large (in N^2) number of free theory states of wide energy range (of order N) mix under the interaction. As a result the planar perturbation theory breaks down. We argue that an arrow of time emerges and the dual string configuration should be interpreted as a stringy black hole
We will discuss applications of the recently developed twistor-space methods in perturbative quantum field-theory. The two central topics will be 1) the unitarity bootstrap approach to hard scattering amplitudes in QCD and 2) the analysis of the UV structure of N=8 supergravity.

Bruno Mars' single, "24K Magic", is badass. Mars doesn't so much sing as he speaks throughout the song with every line meaning the same thing. He's cool, he knows how to party and has women. The latter is especially important, because we live in a new feminist world where attractive guys are still allowed to flaunt their women like dollar bills. He's so confident that, really, why attempt a chorus? The first spin of "24K Magic" makes it sound more like a spoken word track over a Synthfunk backing rather than an actual Pop song. It's one of the year's best songs.
It's also a game-changer for Bruno Mars. From here on out, the only reaction to his ballads is 'fuck that noise'.
The Weeknd poses for his philosophy book
Music is acting. I don't care who you are in real life. What's important in music is that the character you play in your music is believable, and will somehow makes sense when we connect the songs. Eminem is unconvincing because he's at one point mocking Pop music, whines about people not liking him and then makes a song with Sia. Ian Watkins is an all-around terrible person, but the sound of "Rooftops" didn't change just because we discovered he's a pedophile.
Balancing bragging tracks with ballads is tough. We all experienced the highs and lows of life, but you need to connect these two. If your character is sad, I need to believe this sadness is real and is relevant despite all the parties you had. It's especially tough to come off as vulnerable or sensitive when a second ago you bragged how much sex you have and how all the women want you.
I don't think this is what you do with crosses
The Weeknd also released a song with a similar vibe, but "Starboy" is vastly different in demeanor and content. The Weekend also brags about having a lot of sex and a lot of money. He explicitly says he has a girlfriend and a mistress, both of which are out of your league. Along with bragging about cars, it's obvious Weeknd's life is overall quite kickin'.
What's different is the context. Bruno Mars is carefree and happy in "24K Magic", and only brags about how good his life is. You can understand nothing else about Mars, other than that he's probably an inconsiderate asshole outside having fun. A line like "Bad bitches and ya ugly ass friends" promises great sex and treating you like dirt. Weeknd, however, is so dark that it's obvious there's something wrong with him despie how much he parties.
The Weeknd starts off his song with "I want to put you in the worst mood". Already, this song is more than just bragging. He wants you to feel bad, he needs others' jealousy so he could feel good about himself. Instead of the social butterfly who's inconsiderate, Weeknd's song is upfront about how pain exists in our world (and he wants to cause it). When he proceeeds in the verse to brag, it's always about how his good things should make you feel bad. The line about using drugs to kill any pain makes it obvious that Weeknd does have a shitty day and needs to do things about him. The line "We don't pray for love, we just pray for cars" is quite nihilistic, expressing a dark worldview of retreating to materialism.
Musically, "24K Magic" is a straight-up banger with funky backing, a great bassline and a synth that farts all the way. It only contains happiness. "Starboy"'s drums are colder and jittery. It's also more sparse, almost sounding like Joy Division tweeked for the dance floor. By the time drums kick in the chorus, they're aggressive. You can party to it – it's even recommended since it's also brilliant – but it's not happy-go-lucky and it's more suitable to planning revenge than celebrating your anniversary with a significant other.
Ain't no fun if the guys don't get naked too
These differences make me react so differently to the ballads. When Bruno Mars put out "Versace on the Floor", I could think in terms of 'fuck that noise' and 'are women still fooled by this?'. A little before, Mars was a social butterfly who didn't care about anyone. He was the person you invited to the party, but once everyone had too much to drink and talk about life he gets kicked out. He's the guy who never holds a conversation but only screams jokes If Mars will be accused of raping a 16-year-old, I wouldn't be surprised. Okay, I wouldn't be surprised over any musician, but Mars is definitely in the top of musicians who have the highest chances of doing it.
I can't connect the two. If "24K Magic" was less aggressive, more akin to Radical Something's anthems of summer then it'd be different. Mars' cocky aggression is integral to why his ballads doesn't work. The line "Bad bitches and ya ugly ass friends" paint a picture of a guy women love so much he can afford to treat them bad without realizing it. Just ask Dessa. Neve in "24K Magic" do we hear a person who's fun to be around, but a person who has a lot fun. It's the type of person who fucks women instead of having sex.
When the Weeknd shows up his vulnerable side, it's believable. He takes the dark side of "Starboy" and expands it, or takes the small cracks and zooms into them. "All I Know" is believable because it's a direct contrast to "Starboy" instead of being unrelated. It was what he tried to hide so hard by bragging about praying for cars. "Secrets" is the flipside, with Weeknd being the man pining after the woman who has all the guys.
About as romantic as quoting Gamergate supporters.
They also sing their ballads differently. "Versace on the Floor" is full of vocal acrobatics. Vocal acrobatics are impressive and a great way to terminate your acting abilities. Since they point out you're actually a singer, you forget about the mood and the content. "Versace" is less about having time with a girl and more about seducing a girl using the promise of romance just to ditch her (Ed Sheeran's character does it all the time). Shifting singing styles so radically only serves to show you were acting all along. Weeknd always sings as Starboy and never tries to show off. Imagine "Belong to the World" if Weeknd sang it like Mars. Actually, it would probably still be good because of the lyrics.
Perhaps it has something to do with me being a guy, but then again I consider Lostprophets' "Rooftops" to be a highlight in music history. That song was made by your worst nightmare, a guy so sexy he could do anything he want and have women supporting him. Watkins never did Mars' vocal acrobatics there. When it explodes, he screams more than sings and that's crucial. Of course, good actors are also the best at sexual abuse, so maybe Mars isn't that in person after all. I don't know. All I know is that, as an actor, he's horrible. Give me songs like "24k Magic" any day, because, from him, songs like "Just the Way You Are" makes me worry what happens backstage. I shouldn't, since there's always a good reason to worry about things happening backstage.
If that's not enough, listen to "Versace" while watching the video for "24K Magic". Tell me how different he is from how Nice Guys(tm) describe your boyfriend.

If it was any other tournament I would agree. But Dumba woulda been sitting on the sidelines. Look at some of the shit people were tossed out of games for. Camara gets 5 and a game for one of the cleanest hits I've ever seen. This tournament is for skill and hustle, not big bodies and hard hitters.RoyalDude wrote:Ya know what I love about this loss. The Don Cherry's of the Canadian Hockey Snobby World cannot use the excuse "Well, if they had all their best players, they would have won!" No excuses. Anyhow, where do you pin the blame? Pretty much everywhere, but seriously, Hockey Canada really, really, really needs to stop rolling out the red carpet for these kids, the personal chefs, massages, etc. Top Notch everything, that has to go. None of the other countries treat their players like Kings and Queens. What is concerning for me, is how Team Canada folds like a shitty tent as soon as they encounter a team that isn't afraid of them, not much guts in the past two WJC's for Team Canada. All along all ya heard from Team USA, we can beat, we are gonna beat them, we are better them, where the fuck is our moxy and cockiness, we are just a tad to proper for my liking.
The defense they chose was pretty fucking lame. Not saying that Dumba should have been there, but Dumba is the kind of D-man that can lay out some real nasty, mean checks. The D lacked that presence. Not enough character in that room. Not all that impressed with Huberdeau and Schieffle in the mean something games. The list goes on. Our biggest weakness was Defense, Goaltending, Coaching, Character/grit and puck possession and decision making. We need more of a Bobby 'Fuck You' Clarke attitude on team Canada than the nice guys

A long-awaited assessment of TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL pipeline by the U.S. State Department made no specific recommendation on the project, cheering oil companies and outraging environmentalists who said it underestimated the project's impact on climate change.
The draft analysis, which is subject to public comment, examined the revised route TransCanada proposed after President Barack Obama blocked an original path amid concerns it posed a threat to an aquifer in Nebraska.
The State Department report doesn't make a recommendation on whether the pipeline should be approved or denied. It instead points to ways in which the pipeline could harm the environment, though supporters said none should derail the project. Administration officials stressed the analysis was a work in progress.
"We're looking for feedback now from the public to help us shape this going forward," Kerri-Ann Jones, State's assistant secretary for oceans and international environmental and scientific affairs, told reporters today on a conference call. After 45 days for public comment, and additional time for federal agencies to weigh in, a final decision may be made in late September.
Environmental groups said they were "outraged" by the analysis because it found the pipeline would have little impact on greenhouse-gas emissions.
"President Obama needs to match his soaring oratory with climate action, and the State Department just made that harder," Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, a San Francisco-based environmental group, said on a conference call. "We don't think there is any sign that the White House has put its fingerprints on this analysis. We do think it's made the president's job more difficult."
TransCanada fell 0.5 percent to C$47.81 at 4:30 p.m. in Toronto. The shares have climbed 7.4 percent so far this year.
The draft report is "an important step towards receiving a presidential permit for this critical energy infrastructure project," TransCanada Chief Executive Office Russ Girling said in a statement.
Environmentalists say the pipeline, which will cross six U.S. states, will exacerbate climate-change risks by promoting mining of Alberta's oil sands, which release more carbon dioxide than conventional drilling.
The analysis said that while oil sands mining releases more of the gases linked by scientists to global warming, rejecting the pipeline won't reduce the rate of development in the oil sands or the amount of heavy crude refined in the U.S.
If both Keystone and the other proposed pipelines from the tar sands aren't built, the reduction in annual emissions would be at most 5.3 million metric tons a year of carbon dioxide, less than 0.1 percent of total U.S. emissions, the department's anaylsis found.
Oil and gas producers say the project proposed by Calgary- based TransCanada will create thousands of jobs and boost U.S. energy security.
Oil lobbyists welcomed the report and analysts said it signaled administration approval of a project that has become a flashpoint between environmental protection and economic development.
"No matter how many times KXL is reviewed, the result is the same: no significant environmental impact," said Marty Durbin, executive vice president for the American Petroleum Institute, a Washington-based group whose members include Exxon Mobil Corp. "The latest impact statement from the State Department puts this important, job-creating project one step closer to reality."
Bill Day, a San Antonio-based spokesman for Valero Energy Corp., the world's largest independent refinery by capacity, said after the analysis that the pipeline would be approved.
"Nothing that has come out in this report or any of the others would be reason for even this delay, let alone a denial," Day said in an interview.
A final decision won't come until after agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency get to comment. The EPA found a previous draft environmental analysis for the original Keystone route was "unduly narrow."
John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC, a New York- based hedge fund that focuses on energy, said the finding the project won't significantly impact oil sands development signals approval.
'Roadmap Forward'
"It's still a long way away, but at least there's a roadmap forward," Kilduff said.
The department found that without the Keystone XL pipeline, alternative modes of transporting Canadian crude would emerge.
One scenario assumes the construction of new rail loading terminals in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, and Epping, North Dakota, that would carry oil on existing rail lines to new rail terminals in Stroud, Oklahoma.
Another option would see oil taken by rail to Port Rupert, British Columbia, loaded onto tankers shipped down the Pacific Coast, through the Panama Canal, and up through the Gulf of Mexico.
Environmentalists said Keystone was critical to the development of Alberta's oil sands.
"They call it Keystone for a reason," Bill McKibbon, who heads 350.org, which has been leading the opposition to the pipeline, told reporters. "If they don't have it, they aren't going to be able to develop the tar sands."

Can government provide services for which outsiders are willing to pay a premium?
My starting premise is that we can and should approach government as a business -- in particular, one in need of a new "business plan" for how to confront a changing competitive environment, with changing demand for its services, and a cost structure out of line with its revenue base. Many will take issue with the premise that government is, or can fruitfully be thought of, as at all like business. So, let's take a little time to discuss this assertion.
The shibboleth persists in politics that government can and should be run "like a business." In fact, an entire presidential candidacy was premised on this notion just last year. But that facile view is not what I mean by "the government business." It's pretty clear that governments do not actually operate like businesses for a vast number of reasons:
- The employees, for the most part, cannot be fired, and thus have little reason to hit performance metrics, let alone respond to the views of management.
- The politicians ostensibly overseeing all this are guided by a complex set of conflicting motives and incentives and have little reason to work together or move in the same direction. These managers and executives are in turn guided by the demands of shareholders, investors, and consumers who themselves have contradictory and often ill-defined expectations for the organization.
- Most of this results from the fact that governments aren't guided by the same profit motive as private-sector businesses. That isn't necessarily bad in itself -- in fact, a lot of what we expect and want governments to do is precisely those activities that are not profitable (or, at least, where profit cannot easily be captured). But the lack of a single, clear metric makes managing government, and assessing how the whole enterprise is doing, a lot more difficult.
So it's not my contention that governments operate "like businesses" or even that they would be better served to do so.

Rob Lowe has been a busy fellow of late, wrapping up a stint over at ABC's "Brothers and Sisters" only to hop right into a role on NBC's "Parks & Recreation." Now, Lowe is branching out into reality TV production, and returning to the place of his "West Wing" and "St. Elmo's Fire" heydays: Washington, DC. The Washington Post reports Lowe is planning to doing a reality show called "Potomac Fever." Here are some of the details:
Actor Rob Lowe has teamed up with the production company 44 Blue to launch a reality series with the working title "Potomac Fever," which, according to a company executive, will follow the adventures of young Washingtonians as they try to move up the ranks in the D.C. scene.
The news comes less than two weeks after the D.C. season of Bravo's "Top Chef" opened with the smallest crowd since the first season in March 2006, and a few months after MTV's long-running "Real World" franchise limped out of Washington with the lowest-rated season in the show's history…
Lowe, whose spokesman said he was unavailable for comment, told the trade publication Variety, which first reported the story late last week, that he has an "affinity for the adventures of young Washingtonians."
"They live and love at the center of world power," Lowe said. "I can't wait to tell their stories."
That bit about moving up the ranks of the "DC scene" makes me immediately think of the horror that is Late Night Shots, the invitation-only DC social networking site for people who were born with seersucker shorts on. As someone who has lived in the DC area for more than six years, I can tell you that, no matter how hard it tries, there will always be a distinctly uncool element to DC. The sheer number of political workers and lawyers that live here serve to overwhelm any kind of burgeoning creative community. That's why ratings for The DC Real World and Top Chef installments have been low. When people think of DC, they think of politics. And most people HATE politics. It's hard to separate the rest of DC from that, fair or unfair.
So Lowe has his work cut out for him. Fictionally, DC has served him very well. But I think he'll find the real DC to be a whole other ball of wax.

Now, this isn't an "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Indulgences, But Were Afraid to Ask" post. I'm not an expert on all the intricacies of indulgences nor do I feel that it is important to explain how the praying of an indulgence doesn't help every sin. That's besides the point. If you'd like to know more than what I'm presenting on indulgences you can check out more on "Catholic Answers". What I want to do is explain why they are on these cards and why the living pray for the dead.
Catholics are taught that there is a Purgatory. That when we die a soul goes to Purgatory until their sins are atoned for. Purgatory is like jail for the soul. If you are in Purgatory, you will eventually go to Heaven. If you go to Hell, well, you go to Hell. Sorry about your luck (but that really doesn't stop Catholics from praying for those either...forever hopeful). We naturally like the thought of our loved ones getting to Heaven sooner, so we pray for them. Does it help? God only knows, but it couldn't hurt, right?
|Card & indulgences in German
Indulgences went out of practice in the 1960s, but I'm told that the Catholic Church was bringing them back to some extent. So you may notice them on cards up to and including the 1960s and then not in more recent cards, but don't be surprised if they start appearing again!
So on the back of many of the cards, when you see a certain number of "days of indulgence" are granted for praying the card's prayer or for saying so many "Hail Marys" or "Our Fathers" we are talking about a period of time lessened for the person that died.
Why does/did the Catholic Church encourage the praying of indulgences? "...To spur them to works of devotion, penance and charity...", and that doesn't sound like a bad thing to me.
|A "quarantine" is equal to 40 days

It's '60's Week on Nice Price or Crack Pipe, and to kick things off we have a black plate Bimmer. This old school 2000CS is an excellent representative of the Neue Klasse, but does its price have you giving it a failing grade?
The sixties were an amazing decade. It was over its course that we saw space exploration's most monumental achievement to date - man walking on another celestial body. The decade also realized a cultural shift globally that fermented the questioning of political tradition, engendered the heyday of rock and roll music, and saw an explosion in cars offered around the world.
It's that last facet of the sixties that we're interested in this week. During that decade, American manufacturers created whole new classes of cars, offered remarkably innovative and forward-looking technologies, and engaged in a horsepower war in which the big winner was the car buying consumer. Foreign inroads made in the decade also provided the first significant evidence that the Americans wouldn't have the U.S. market all to their own any more.
One of fewer than 10,000 cars ever built, today's 1967 BMW 2000CS may not have been at the vanguard of that import invasion, but it did manage to help lay the groundwork for positioning BMW 's current positioning as the Ultimate Driving Machine.
Introduced as part of the Neue Klasse model redesign in 1965 the 2000 coupé was built for BMW by Karmann in Osnabrück. The fact that Karmann invented rust and used it as a means of planned obsolescence for their products, makes this car's solidity and claimed lack of swiss cheesification all the more remarkable. That body may seem familiar to you, and a stretched version was used for the successor six cylinder E9s.
This one originated that car's Hoffmeister Kinky roofline, and shark nose, but while the E9 sports four lights in a horizontal grille fronted by a subtle double kidney, the 2000's elongated twin grille and composite lights look disconcertingly like Hitler wearing Raybans.
Behind that grille is the twin-carb edition of BMW's M10 SOHC 1,991-cc four. The extra carb affords the car the S at the end of its name and an additional 20 ponies for a total of 120. Backing that up is a four speed stick, all independent suspension and a curb weight of less than 2,600 lbs.
The interior of this white over blue 113,000-mile edition seems equally serviceable, sporting some evidence of wear, but apparently - and more importantly - missing nothing but its factory wheel. That's been replace with a wood-rimmed Moto lita or the like, and the seller makes note of the car rocking a period correct Blaupunkt AM/FM/Shortwave radio.
The sixties are now more than more than four decades in the past, and it's probably that few of you were even born to see their close, much less remember them at all. A lot of wickedly cool cars came out of the decade, and this 2000CS is today vastly more rare than when the Beatles were still topping the charts.
Of course rarity doesn't always equate to desirability or value, and that's why we're here to determine if this car's not insubstantial $18,000 price tag is on the level or off the map. What do you think, is eighteen grand a good price for so nice a 2000CS? Or, is this a sixties survivor whose current cost is far out man, but not in the good, hippie kind of way?
You decide!

FORTWALTON BEACH � A 33-year-old man from Crestview was seriously injured Monday morning after he crashed into a van that pulled out in front of his motorcycle on Lewis Turner Boulevard.
Joshua Rose was riding his motorcycle west at about 8:30 a.m. when an eastbound SUV trying to turn into the Okaloosa County Courthouse pulled out in front of him, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Rose could not stop in time. He crashed into the SUV and was thrown off his bike.
The motorcycle skidded 40 feet into a ditch on the shoulder of the southbound roadway, according to Ocean City-Wright Battalion Chief Terry Kline.
Rose was wearing a helmet and full gear, according to Fort Walton Beach Police Sgt. Michael Hogan. He said Rose suffered severe injuries to his left leg but was conscious and talking.
�I dialed the phone for him and he spoke with his wife. He seems to be doing alright for now,� Hogan said.
The man driving the SUV, 40-year-old Rendi Katalinic, of Destin, was charged with violation of right-of-way when making a left turn, the FHP reported.
He was not injured.
First responders with Fort Walton Beach and Ocean City-Wright fire departments responded to the scene. A medical helicopter landed at the YMCA and took Rose to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
One southbound lane of Lewis Turner Boulevard near Mooney Road was blocked until the scene was cleared.

while your link seems to be highly informational and according to a comment
faithful to Feynmans book while easier to process, its got only 64k views.
I'm afraid youtube gives a good picture of how few people out of the
connected few billion are actually interested in seeking information to advancing
anywhere. Versus how many who use the Internet to watch short clips of kitties.
On the other hand it is interesting to interpret the data. A lot of that "people"
are actually children. Little buggers mess up statistics again. Yesterday I was looking at life expectancy. Around 30 in the - and through - the middle ages. But that number is easy to misinterpret ( f*cking average are usually leads astray ). It comes from high proportion of children dying before the age of 15! If you lived through that you were supposed to hit the sixties. See also the barely gone British middle class saying for having two sons - the "heir and spare".

Furmint, Hárslevelü, Szamorodni: Wine as Weird As It Comes
There are 1,368 varieties covered in Master of Wine Jancis Robinson's Wine Grapes. Bet you can't try them all.
Note from the author: There are 1,368 varieties covered in Wine Grapes by MW Jancis Robinson, MW Julia Harding, and Dr. Jose Vouillamoz. Bet you can't try them all.
When I go back to New York City these days, I like to return to my favorite places: the ones that make me feel warm, safe and welcome—especially when I land, exhausted at 10 p.m., in the middle of a blizzard.
I routed my way straight from JFK to one of my favorite restaurants, Rouge Tomate, hoping that my dear friend Pascaline Lepeltier hadn't left yet. Pascaline is the rock star wine director there, a petite tour de force with an infectious enthusiasm and passion for great wine.
I was sure she'd share a great new Chenin Blanc with me—she's obsessed with the grape, and she shares a hometown with its native stomping grounds in the Loire Valley in France. But she giggled over, eyes ablaze with a sense of mischief and excitement. A small, somewhat oddly shaped bottle appeared, and out poured the most incredible, fascinating, beautiful and bizarre wine I've had in a long while: 2007 Samuel Tinon Dry Szamorodni, made from the Furmint and Hárslevelü grapes in Tokaj, Hungary.
In the same way that you must not let Pascaline's foreign accent throw you off, do not let the Hungarian accents in the wine's name deter you. You are in for great things. Szamorodni means "as it comes," Pascaline explained to me. It refers to the way the wine is made of grapes picked at all levels of ripeness, whether under-ripe, perfectly ripe or shriveled up and seemingly rotten—just "as it comes."
A brief tangent on the "seemingly rotten" bit: these grapes are affected by the wonderful version of something called botrytis. Botrytis is a type of mold that attacks grapes in two forms: we call the bad, nasty one "grey rot," and the fabulous, mystical one "noble rot." Noble rot shrivels the grapes and concentrates their sugars while imbuing them with incredible spice and honey notes. In the Tokaj region of Hungary, two rivers come together in a warm microclimate, causing lots of humidity... the perfect conditions for botrytis.
My trusty Wine Grapes book says that the region's most common grape, Furmint, "seems to appreciate the humidity," and "the combination of high acid, susceptibility to botrytis bunch rot and high sugar levels in the berries makes Furmint ideal raw material for intensely rich, long-lived Aszú dessert wines." Quite appropriately, Tokaj is world-famous for those sweet wines made entirely from the precious noble rot-affected grapes.
In my own glass, the confluence of mixed up grapes gives the Tinon Dry Szamorodni a crazy complexity, even as it is completely dry. But there's more.
Bobbing in and out of our first course, Pascaline told us about the way the wine is aged in the cellar for six years—and not just any cellar. Remember that humidity of Tokaj? It encourages the growth of yet another crazy mold on the cellar walls: this one's called cladosporium cellare. And the wine is left in barrels kept partially open and exposed to it!
We're not done yet. Pascaline continued, "as happens in Sherry or the Jura region, a thin veil of yeast also grows naturally over the wine." I thought I misunderstood her, she said it with such nonchalance. A third wacky micro-organism? A veil of yeast growing on the wine?? There was no way.
But the taste gave it away: that same uncanny, crisp yellow apple freshness aligned with a vaguely nutty, spicy twang—very much like the taste of a Sherry or Jura wine aged under their mysterious, delicate, naturally occurring veils of yeast. This wine didn't have caramelized or roasted flavors, but crisp and almost clean ones, reminding me of raw almonds or fresh hazelnuts dusted with yellow curry powder... and just the suggestion of a thin gloss of nail polish. (If this description puts you squarely in the "Huh??" camp, you're on the same page I was.)
As the glass warmed up, saffron threads, chamomile tea, wet cement, honey and wildflower notes spilled out. "It's crazy, eh?" Pascaline's eyes lit up as I drained the glass.
I nodded eagerly, nervous that I'd only caught half of what I was supposed to but positive I was in the presence of something fantastic.

Technically, Trap will be working hard between now and the end of the year.
If you ask the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), they'll tell you that he's always looking at players, looking at DVDs, looking at the permutations ahead of the final year of his current contract in 2011.
It will probably also be the final year of his time with Ireland, if the Irish if events of recent months and weeks are anything to go by.
The defeat to Norway last week, in front of just 30,000 fans at the Aviva Stadium, was Ireland's third loss in four games at the new Fortress Lansdowne Road.
The Norwegians did get a late goal to condemn Ireland to their fourth defeat of 2010 -- Brazil, Argentina and Russia also beat us -- and even they admitted the win was fortunate to say the least.
But that's irrelevant as far as the performance by the Irish team and, more significantly, its management is concerned.
The November friendly date is normally little more than a nuisance as far as the Ireland players are concerned.
It's rarely a competitive game -- unless there's one of those horrible playoffs involved -- and invariably players fall like flies with injuries in the build-up.
Last week, for example, seven of the players who missed the Norway game through injury managed to play for their clubs on Saturday, including the Aston Villa pair of Richard Dunne and Ireland new boy Ciaran Clark.
The date doesn't do the players any favors. Their club managers don't like friendlies anyway, and some of them were far from happy about the Norway game, in particular one Roy Keane.
He sent his defender Darren O'Dea over to play 45 minutes to aid his recovery from a recent injury, but the Celtic loanee was played for 67 minutes by Trapattoni.
Keane was annoyed with Trap and said so on Thursday, which made for some juicy headlines the following morning. He wasn't the only unhappy camper.
The Norway game was only over when the Internet chat-rooms were abuzz with talk of Trap's failure to hand Seamus Coleman his debut against the Scandinavians.
The 22-year-old former Sligo Rovers defender, from the Donegal fishing town of Killybegs, has been a sensation for Everton in the Premier League all season.
On Tuesday of last week, Trapattoni addressed the issue of Coleman with the Irish media and openly told us that he was looking forward to seeing the youngster in a green jersey. So were the rest of us.
By Wednesday night, there were suggestions, and more than one of them, on the fan forums that Trap should be sacked after leaving Coleman on the bench for the 94 minutes of dour football played by Ireland and Norway.
By Thursday, Trapattoni was defending his decision to leave Coleman waiting for a debut, possibly in the Carling Nations Cup clash with Wales in Dublin next February.
He spoke about his desire to see Coleman as a defender, something he couldn't apparently do in a game where Ireland were defending a 1-1 scoreline for much of the match.
Trap even spoke of the need to leave Coleman on the bench and use the likes of Stephen Hunt and Aiden McGeady as subs to protect the result -- after a game Ireland lost.
He also spoke, as you will see elsewhere on these pages, of his lack of fear of the sack demanded by some of those frustrated by Coleman's no-show last week.
What's clear after all of this, and not for the first time, is that the Irish team is really no better off now under Trapattoni than it was under Steve Staunton in terms of anything other than organization.
The results are really no better. This year alone we've only beaten Armenia and Andorra in competitive games and Algeria and Paraguay in friendlies, drawing with Slovakia and losing the four matches mentioned earlier.
Progress is limited. A year after Paris -- lest we forget and lest you let that New York-based prat Thierry Henry forget it -- Irish football is really no further down the road to redemption.
We have seen the emergence of the likes of Paul Green, limited in ability by the way, and Greg Cunningham, who did get 90 minutes against the Norwegians but may yet be punished for his failings in the lead-up to their winner.
Shane Long is coming on nicely as an alternative to Robbie Keane upfront and Coleman, Marc Wilson and James McCarthy have shown real promise in the Premier League this season even if Trap has been slow to reward them.
But you know and I know that Trap will still turn to the old reliables when Macedonia come to the Aviva for Ireland's next competitive match in March.
Shay Given could stay on the bench for every Manchester City game between now and then and still start in goal. John O'Shea, Dunne, Sean St. Ledger and Kevin Kilbane will still form the back four.
Midfield will probably be made up of Lawrence, Whelan, Andrews and Duff if they're all fit.
And Keane will lead the attack alongside Kevin Doyle no matter how little football he plays with Spurs between now and then. Same old, same old.
The FAI won't sack Trapattoni between now and the end of November, no matter what some Internet users have to say, but come the end of Ireland's European Championship bid they won't have to.
We won't qualify, Trapattoni's contract will expire and the FAI won't be able to afford to keep him. The end is nigh.
Norway just proved it. Again.
Sideline Views
SOCCER: Some 130 League of Ireland players are now without clubs and looking for work. Little wonder then that the PFAI are organizing a trial match in January to showcase these players -- in Norway! In current circumstances, these Irish players simply have to go wherever they might gain a professional contract.
GOLF: The European Tour have confirmed that there will be an Irish Open next July, probably in Killarney, despite the withdrawal of sponsors 3, but I wouldn't bet on it. With the economy the way it is now, it is going to be very, very difficult to find a new sponsor for such a costly event.
SOCCER: Rumors abound in Irish soccer circles that Packie Bonner's contract as technical director with the FAI may not be renewed as a cost cutting measure. It will be a sad day for Irish football if the FAI can mortgage the Aviva and have to pay for it by making good guys like Packie redundant.
SOCCER: Mick McCarthy and Roy Keane won't be happy that they both have something in common right now -- they are under serious pressure as managers of Wolves and Ipswich respectively after a heap of bad results. Their asses, as Mick would put it, are firmly in the bacon slicer.
SOCCER: Paul Cook is one of the great characters in League of Ireland football so the news that he has signed a new contract with FAI Cup winners Sligo Rovers is to be welcomed. The news that Galway United are the latest club in serious financial trouble is not so welcome.
GAA: Well done to the GAA club in Hong Kong who are actively helping would be Irish emigrants enquire about work in the Asian market. The club are even offering job advice via email at email@example.com.
GAA: Dessie Farrell and the GPA have just announced that 15% of all inter-county footballers and hurlers are now unemployed, which means the scourge of emigration is bound to hit county teams next summer.
Brian O'Driscoll scored a quite brilliant try as Ireland lost to the All-Blacks, again, on Saturday at the Aviva Stadium. The Irish captain reacted swiftly and decisively to scoop the ball on his way to the line and prove, once again, that he is the most creative and exciting player available to coach Declan Kidney. Such magic will be needed at the World Cup next year, so let's hope O'Driscoll can stay fit and healthy between now and September.
Keith Fahey may be a decent player, but refusing to discuss his Ireland or Birmingham City careers at an FAI gig in Dublin last week was nothing short of ridiculous. Telling this journalist to "f*** off" when I suggested he was being rude may not have been too clever a move either. As one experienced pundit said, I'll have ink long after his legs have gone.

Supervision and Procedures: Mendoza-Caro, Delquis (MD)
The Residency Supervision Area is designed to assist hospitals and clinics with the protocols outlined for specific duties residents and fellows can perform. These guidelines are determined by the faculty of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine Chattanooga, Department of Plastic Surgery. Any questions about certain procedures not listed should be addressed to the faculty and not decided by the resident or fellow.
A credentialed and privileged attending physician ultimately provides supervision or oversight of each Resident's patient care activities. Direct supervision by a qualified attending physician (or a more senior Resident with Indirect Supervision immediately available) is required in the OR/Delivery Room or for non-routine invasive procedures like Cardiac Cath, Endoscopy, and Interventional Radiology.
Click here to view our UTCOMC GME Policy 400 Resident Supervision
Click here to view the UTCOMC GME Policy 405 Patient Care Settings Resident Supervision Standards
Resident Supervision will consist of four categories/levels:
As a 1st year Plastic Surgery Resident (a PGY-6 or above), the Resident can perform any general surgery or plastic surgery skill or procedure deemed appropriate by his/her attending physician. Residents are expected to progressively assume more responsibility throughout each level of training and demonstrate competence in skills/procedures requiring less Direct Supervision. The supervising physician may make adjustments in the level of supervision required for that specific procedure.
Patient Care Skills or Procedures that do not require Direct or Indirect Supervision presence of a supervising physician (i.e., Oversight/General Supervision) are listed below. Anything not specifically listed requires either Direct Supervision, Indirect Supervision with Direct Supervision Immediately Available, or Indirect Supervision with Direct Supervision available by phone or other electronic media, at the discretion of the supervising physician.

Details Of Various Six Strikes Plans Revealed; May Create Serious Problems For Free WiFi
from the the-death-of-free-wifi deptAh, unintended consequences. TorrentFreak has been doing a fantastic job sussing out the details of how various ISPs are going to implement the infamous "six strikes" plan. Earlier, it had found that AT&T's plan was to block access to frequently visited websites, while the fourth strike will include redirections to "educational material."
All of the ISPs, of course, will say that they're not "cutting people off" from the internet, though they are making connections barely usable. Especially troubling is that, as TorrentFreak reveals in the latest post on this, at least Verizon's responses will apply to businesses as well. So that cafe down the street that has free WiFi... may quickly be throttled down to 256kbps. That will likely mean a lot less free WiFi out there, which is a significant and worrisome consequence of this program.
All of these programs seem focused on driving people to "educational content" about copyright infringement. It will be quite fascinating to see what kind of educational content is provided. We've seen in the past that most such attempts are really bad and one-sided. Even YouTube's "copyright school" is ridiculously one-sided and perpetuates myths about copyright, and suggests that fair use is too complex for you to even bother trying to understand.
Also, as the strikes get higher, there are two things to be aware of: ISPs are then more likely to hand over info to the copyright holders, meaning that it could still lead to copyright holders directly suing. That is, the "mitigation" factors are not, in any way, the sum total of the possible consequences for those accused. On top of that, we still fully expect that at least some copyright holders are planning to insist that ISPs who are aware of subscribers with multiple "strikes" are required under law to terminate their accounts. At least the RIAA has indicated that this is its interpretation of the DMCA's clause that requires service providers to have a "termination policy" for "repeat infringers." So it's quite likely that even if the ISPs have no official plan to kick people off the internet entirely under the plan, some copyright holders will still push for exactly that kind of end result.

Hillcrest Village is a small neighbourhood in North York that is located at the northern edge of Toronto. It sits on the eastern border of the Don Valley on the Davenport escarpment. It runs from Steeles in the north to Finch in the south and from Leslie Street in the west to Victoria Park in the east.
Hillcrest Village is a predominantly Chinese neighbourhood and its main commercial vein extends along St. Clair Avenue from Christine Street all the way to Winona Drive. In 1984, Hillcrest Village became a Business Improvement Area and it is now a great neighbourhood of Toronto in which to shop, eat and listen to live music.

A federal judge recently ordered the Tucson Unified School District to teach "culturally relevant courses" in order to increase engagement of minority students.
The ruling is part of a decades-long desegregation case filed against TUSD by parents of Mexican-American and African-American students alleging discrimination.
TUSD Board President Adelita Grijalva has been a supporter of the legally banned Mexican American Studies classes and said the judge's ruling is what the district needed. Supporters of the Mexican American Studies classes reacted positively to the judge's order, seeing it as an avenue to bring back those classes, she said.
"We have a tendency in our society to sort of erase some areas of history that aren't really favorable or that give us any kind of displeasure," Grijalva said. "I don't think that's something that we should be doing in these courses. There should be a conversation about what the experience has been for Latinos, African-Americans and Native Americans in our society."
In the 40-page ruling U.S. District Judge David Bury ordered TUSD to offer courses "designed to reflect the history, experiences, and culture of African American and Mexican American communities," and to make those classes available in August.
In 2010, Gov. Jan Brewer signed a law that prohibits school districts from teaching classes that "promote the overthrow of the United States government, promote resentment toward a race, are designed primarily for a particular ethnic group, and advocate ethnic solidarity," according to court documents. This law was used to shut down the district's MAS classes in early 2011.
"The judge said explicitly that we should be following state law," said Mark Stegeman, a TUSD board member who voted to shut down the classes. "So that makes it impossible to recreate what we had before because that was already found in violation of state law."
To avoid the scrutiny from the state, the new curriculum should keep some of the political content out, Stegeman said.
"I've always said the previous curriculum is too narrow," he said. "I'm not completely happy with creating separate sets of courses--I think that recreates segregation in some sense--but a court order is a court order ad we will follow it conscientiously."
The judge's order to add a multicultural curriculum is not going to end the controversy surrounding the classes, Grijalva said.
"In all likelihood there could be a lawsuit soon from the state saying that we're in violation" of the law used to shut down the MAS classes.
The judge laid out clear guidelines for what the new classes should include and asked TUSD to form a group of community members, educators and district staff to work on the new curriculum. The classes will be optional and count as graduation credits.

While Facebook may be the biggest social network in the world, its 900 million customers don't seem to like it very much.
Even the fledgling social network from Google, Google+ is more well-liked, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index. The year-old Google+ and Wikipedia tie at 78 out of 100 -- and are on the top of the list of social media sites.
Facebook, on the other hand, is the most disliked site with a score of 61, a drop of 8 percent from its previous ranking in 2011. (In case you're wondering. (LinkedIn scored 63,Twitter ranked 64 points and YouTube tied with Pinterest at 73.)
"If Facebook doesn't feel the pressure to improve customer satisfaction now, that may soon change," ForeSee's CEO, Larry Freed, said. ForeSee is the analytics firm that helped ACSI create the report.
This was the first year Google+ was included in the survey founded at the University of Michigan and includes interviews of 70,000 people each year.
The majority of complaints against Facebook were its changes to the user interface, namely its new Timeline which was rolled out to some intense hatred. In contrast, Google+'s clean interface was considered a welcome change.

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-), SignalSilence® CDK2 siRNA I (+) or SignalSilence® CDK2 siRNA II #7417 (+), using CDK2 (78B2) Rabbit mAb #2546 (upper) or α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb #2125 (lower). The CDK2 (78B2) Rabbit mAb confirms silencing of CDK2 expression, while the α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb is used as a loading control.
Product Information
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM CDK2 siRNA I 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
SignalSilence® siRNA is supplied in RNAse-free water. Aliquot and store at -20ºC.
SignalSilence® CDK2 siRNA I from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit CDK2 expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (p33CDK2) is an important component of the cell cycle machinery. Like p34cdc2, kinase activity is regulated by phosphorylation state as well as association with a cyclin subunit and a CDK inhibitor. Inhibitory phosphorylation occurs on Thr14 and Tyr15 (1). Inhibition of CDK2-cyclin complexes can also be attributed to association with p27 Kip1 and p21 Waf1/Cip1 (2). Activation of CDK2 complexes requires dephosphorylation of Thr14 and Tyr15 by cdc25 phosphatase and phosphorylation of Thr160 (3), which is mediated by CAK, a complex of CDK7 and cyclin H (4). CDK2/cyclin E kinase activity is important for the G1 to S transition and phosphorylation of the Rb protein. During S-phase, active CDK2/cyclin A complexes predominate and phosphorylate E2F and the active CDK2 complex persists in the nucleus throughout G2 (5).

ECHL Game Day 10/22: Chiefs at TitansSubmitted by pete on October 22, 2006 - 17:24
Just couldn't get over the top in a one goal game. JHN-3 TRE-5 [url=gerald-coleman]Gerald Coleman[/url] stopped 27 of 31 shots faced for the loss before Trenton scored an empty net goal with 17 seconds remaining to seal the Chiefs' fate. The Johnstown attack was lead by Maxime Boisclair's pair of helpers, his first professional points. [url=andre-deveaux]Andre Deveaux[/url], [url=zbynek-hrdel]Zbynek Hrdel[/url] and Doug Andress had Johnstown's goals with individual helpers going to [url=radek-smolenak]Radek Smolenak[/url], [url=stanislav-lascek]Stanislav Lascek[/url] and Jean Desrochers.

ECHL Game Night 10/21: Ice Pilots at ChiefsSubmitted by pete on October 21, 2006 - 17:48
Tonight is the season opener for a Johnstown team that has had an almost complete identity overhaul in the offseason. Gone are former GM Toby O'Brien as well as many of the familiar ECHL veterans who used to make up the team. In their place the Lightning have set up a new management team and a revamped roster that includes much more youth, skill and speed. Coach Frank Anzalone is the constant, and the veteran coach will go for his 300th ECHL win tonight. Stanislav Lascek and Radek Smolenak should form a potent offensive attack for the Chiefs and they are expected to get strong goaltending from Gerald Coleman and Morgan Cey, but it's the progress of the team's defensemen that may decide how much it can improve over last season's short playoff run. PEN-2 JHN-5 Congratulations to Coach Anzalone on his 300th ECHL win. [url=morgan-cey]Morgan Cey[/url] stopped 31 of 33 for the win. Veteran Jean Desrochers had a first period natural hat trick to set the pace for the Chiefs. Doug Andress had a goal and two assists while [url=zbynek-hrdel]Zbynek Hrdel[/url] racked up three assists. Doug Adams had two assists and Radek Smolenak added his first professional goal while individual helpers went to [url=pj-atherton]PJ Atherton[/url], [url=stanislav-lascek]Stanislav Lascek[/url] and Brandon Elliot. And that's just game one. Game sheet from [url=http://echl.leaguestat.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=918]ECHL.com[/url].

Feaster Hopes to Sign Three by ThursdaySubmitted by pete on July 26, 2005 - 22:54
A quick blurb from the Sunday paper: [url=http://bolts.tbo.com/lightning/MGBBW98RIBE.html]Jay Feaster intends to sign three of the team's 2003 draft picks by Thursday[/url]: G Jonathan Boutin, G Gerald Coleman and LW/C Zbynek Hrdel. All would be elligible to re-enter the draft if not signed by that time, although the new CBA will be less favorable economically for prospects if they choose to go that route. Speaking about the goaltending prospect situation earlier this season, Feaster had hinted only one of the prospects might sign. But Boutin and Coleman both showed the ability to dominate their respective junior leagues at times last season and with the Lightning becoming part owners of the Johnstown Chiefs of the ECHL there should be plenty of room for new arrivals.

Harvest dessert { Raw sweet potato tart }
I went to my good friends house the other day ( Anne I love you! )...and she made an amazing raw pumpkin pie. It was so good, I was inspired! This is where most of my cooking comes about...inspiration. I don't have a fancy blender, but if I add just the right amount of liquid I can get a really smooth consistency out of the old Oster.
I used a basic raw crust. Which usually consists of almonds/walnuts, dates and coconut. I grabbed a bag of regular dates, boil some water, place the dates in a small bowl, and pour the water over top. Let them soak for 5-10 minutes. A juicy, super moist date..which is what binds the crust together with the nuts.
For the filling I used a few more of the dates I soaked with some of the date water, blended it together adding 1 large peeled and chopped sweet potato, added some cinnamon, ground cardamom and nutmeg. Blend that until nice a smooth, and a little maple syrup. Oh yeah and I also put in a little agar agar, just for a setting agent. I don't know if technically agar agar is considered raw...but I didn't want to risk that the filling would ooze out, I wanted it to be firm. It worked!
I served my raw sweet potato tart with a scoop of" Butter Pecan" Toffuti ice-cream. It was wonderful. Happy Thanksgiving!

It seems I need to get on the raw bandwagon, that looks so pretty!ReplyDelete
That looks so very delicious!ReplyDelete
I have a confession to make: I hate cooked sweet potato. But I like to snack on it raw. So this sounds like a perfect recipe for me. And I bet Frieda will enjoy it, too.ReplyDelete
