Joel Peralta Gutiérrez (/dʒoʊˈɛl pəˈrɑːltə/; Spanish pronunciation: [xoˈel peˈɾalta]; born March 23, 1976) is a Major League Baseball relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Peralta signed with the Oakland Athletics as an amateur free agent in 1996. They released him in 1998. He signed with the then-Anaheim Angels in 1999, and remained with the organization in the minor leagues, receiving a promotion to the major leagues in 2005.
Following the 2005 season, he was selected off waivers by the Kansas City Royals from the Angels. He spent three seasons with the Royals, and then signed with the Rockies for the 2009 season.
At the end of the 2009 season, he became a free agent, and was signed to a minor league contract by the Nationals. He had an outstanding 2010 for AAA Syracuse, saving 20 games without any blown saves, compiling a 1.08 ERA. On June 21, he was called up to join the Nationals as an eighth reliever,[1] and the next night made his 2010 debut, pitching to one batter and inducing a double play. Peralta was non-tendered following the 2010 season, to avoid giving him a raise in arbitration.[2]
During the 2010 off-season, Peralta signed a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Rays, receiving $900,000.
During the 2011 off-season, Peralta signed a one-year contract to return to Tampa Bay, receiving $2.175 million.[3]
On June 19, 2012, during a game at Nationals Park vs the Washington Nationals, Peralta was ejected from the game for having a "foreign substance" in his glove; it was later found to be pine tar. Peralta was subsequently suspended eight games by Major League Baseball.[4][5] After the conclusion of the 2012 regular season, Peralta signed a two-year, $6 million deal, with a club option for 2015.
Pitching style[edit]
Peralta throws three pitches: a four-seam fastball at 90–92 mph, a splitter at 79–81, and a curveball at 78–80. He uses the splitter as his main strikeout pitch.[6]

Neuheisel dealing with father-son scenarios
Source: Pac-12 Football Blog - Jul 27, 2011 at 6:17 PM
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel, in Bristol Wednesday morning, has two interesting father-son situations in his locker room. Senior wide receiver Taylor Embree is the son of new Colorado coach Jon Embree, who coached with Neuheisel for Bill McCartney and then remained on Neuheisel's staff when he took over as head coach in 1995. But the other one is more interesting and fraught with emotion. Neuheisel signed his son Jerry, a quarterback, to a grant-in-aid last February. "First recruit I had to sleep with his mom to get him," Neuheisel said. "Don't ask her (his wife Susan) how that went." Thank you, and don't forget to tip your waitress. But Neuheisel quickly turned to the decision itself. "I struggled with that because there's

The Catholic Church is upset because they feel like the government is trying to impose its will on them? Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for over 2,000 years, the Catholic Church has been imposing its will on peoples, governments and civilization in general.
To see British politicians adopting the Christian right's misogynistic and anti-sex attitudes is frankly terrifying; a lot scarier — funnily enough — than the thought of an earthquake sent from God.

180s H@e.
In Armenian it is "shnik" which means puppy.posted by goodnewsfortheinsane at 9:14 AM on September 3, 2009 [7 favorites]
In Belarusian it's called "сьлімак" ("helix", "snail").
In Taiwan it is xiao laoshu (小老鼠), meaning "little mouse".
In Czech and Slovak it is called zavináč (rollmops).
In Dutch it is called apenstaartje ("monkey-tail"), the use of "at" is increasing in popularity. [I would say standard usage by now]
In German it sometimes used to be referred to as Klammeraffe (meaning "spider monkey"). Klammeraffe refers to the similarity of @ to the tail of a monkey grabbing a branch. Lately, it is mostly called at just like in English.
In Greek, it is most often referred to as papaki (παπάκι), meaning "duckling".
In Hungarian it is officially called kukac ("worm, maggot").
In Italian it is chiocciola ("snail") or a commerciale.
In Kazakh it is officially called айқұлақ ("moon's ear"), sometimes unofficial as ит басы ("dog's head").
In Korean it is called golbaeng-i (골뱅이; bai top shells), a dialectal form of daseulgi (다슬기), a small freshwater snail with no tentacles.
In Macedonian it is called мајмунче (pronun. my-moon-cheh, little monkey).
In Polish it is called, both officially and commonly małpa (monkey); sometimes also małpka (little monkey).
In Russian it is most commonly sobaka (собака) (dog).
In Turkish it is et (using the English pronunciation). Also called as güzel a (beautiful a), özel a (special a), salyangoz (snail), koç (ram), kuyruklu a (a with a tail), çengelli a (a with hook) and kulak (ear).
In Welsh it is sometimes known as a malwen or malwoden (a snail).
In an earlier thread about exactly this, it was pointed out that talking 'at' someone is pretty rude, while addressing them conversationally is generally more accepted.

Write a function that calculates the integer square root of any positive integer, but only uses add, subtract, left and right shifts, but no division or multiplication. The algorithm must run in O(log n) time. By integer square root I mean the largest integer whose square is less than or equal to a given number.

Wow.... so, I am in no way an "expert" or "senior" programmer, but this is really bad. How can anyone working on commercial, production code not understand something as simple as loops?
You forgot the FRIST!
So... and the cart logic was in Javascript? At least I hope it was just for presentation purposes... but somehow I don't think that's the case
Also, who said he didn't understand loops? He knows about them. Strange loops too. Also, he consulted the documentation for his CPU architecture and he concluded that a loop would be bad for throughput due the increased branching.
The data would be prefectched so everything is optimal.
By only working on enterprisy software ?
ooh, and thrid!!!
All about the loop unrolling. Efficent code!
This reminds me of code I once wrote back in the 10th grade. However in that same year I discovered something called the while loop and then I quickly learned about for loops.
Item value as float? WTF?

That's why he's not at a senior level.
+10 pts for writing business-logic and security code in client-side.
I *hope* the code is doubled (making it really WET) in the asp/jsp/php part.
What's all this nonsense about DRY? Each of those lines is clearly unique.
You need both loops and arrays. This explains why 4 out my 80 nieces and nephews were disappointed last Xmas.
Thirteenth comment!
Fourteenth comment!
Fifteenth comment!
The programmer was obviously paid by lines of code written.
After 6 months at Amazon he never had to work again.
OK... this is finally my chance to learn something on TDWTF... and since my computer doesn't have google installed...
What are "DRY principles"?
* Do it yourself
* Run Ycursively?
Inb4 thread degenerates into a discussion about trolling...
"don't repeat yourself" is what he's going for.
Probably just an acronym a project manager made up, to make it easy to remember something instead of understanding it.
... The prices are in the form?
Is anyone else bothered that the item names are form field names?
It's just... It's just wrong... So wrong.
The braces lines are not. (Since this is a nit-picking forum, why haven't 10 others pointed this out already?)
Re: The WET Cart
2011-12-08 10:06 • by Lex Luther (unregistered)
That's not the item names, that's the value. Based on the calculations, he has two fields- quantity and price.
I need to find out what site this is and back up the truck.
Sure. How else will Javascript access the prices in order to compute the subtotal in the cart? It's only a problem if the site POSTs the WTF-computed subtotal (instead of computing it on the back end with the real prices). Which wouldn't surprise me.
Stitches, FirstAidKit, and Wristband aren't item names?
I'm not talking about the values they store.
What website uses this? You'd get some really great discounts with a little bit of source dabbling...
Could be this site
PMH Foundation
A good job interview set of questions would be to take these examples minus the snarky commentary and see if the candidate realizes how stupid these things are.
Of course the question is how did this person get the job who wrote this? I guess they already worked there and was given the job "since all programmers are the same".
Seems Josiah put in a loop now. What a fool! Don't break what's working, amirite? (But at least he kept the original code, commented out, in case we want it back instead of his ivory tower fancy loops.)
Wow. With the same form field names and everything. I thought they anonymized stuff around here.
Google has a virus, so they uninstalled it. Didn't you know that?
Ergo, this was written by a 9th grader.
Nothing more to see here.
Is the other WTF is that you can buy e.g. -1.337 FirstAidKits ?

Whew. At least the old code was replaced by some jquery. Too bad the old crufty stuff was just commented out. Perhaps it was just for our amusement.
No, but if you go to the "Side Bar WTF", you'll see 2-3 WTFs per day on average, normally of better (or worse, if you prefer) quality than the front page articles.
I think I just puked in my mouth a little bit.
Or as a warning, kind of like mounting human sculls on posts.
Warning: dangerous code lives in these parts!
It's one thing if you temporarily leave commented code in your source that you intend to remove or uncomment later. Leaving it on the web pages for all the world to see is a whole 'nuther WTF on its own.
P.S. I like how they had commented out some of the items that were part of the original list (using different commenting styles, no less), but were "removed" before they switched to jquery and commented out the whole blocks. "We might need to re-add those, and copy+paste is so much harder than removing some comment characters, and we might misspell something and everything will blow up."

Well, google is easy to install, you don't even need Administrator or Root access. It's a simple, two step process:
1) Point your browser of choice to www.google.com
2) Bookmark/Favorite the page
(it would be a three step process except step 3) Profit! is for Google, not you)
What's a "browser"? And which end should I point with?
If you have a good sturdy pen on your desk, that can be a browser. Hold the sharp end pointing toward your chest, near your heart. Then run down the hall until you collide with the wall at the end.
I thought some idiot had ignored all the warnings and typed "Google" into the search.

Loops on their own are pretty much useless. This code needs a total revamp before it can be taken up for testing. I pity the fools who are having to maintain this code. Sadly in the 1990's any fool who could type was qualified to be a computer programmer. Apple had a test where they showed three devices and if you correctly identified the computer, you got a job. In those days' nobody wanted to work with Apple, IBM being the employer of choice.

Such a legacy of problematic programming that violates good architectural and coding practices is called "technical debt," a metaphor that is gaining broader attention.
Poor quality code, whether the result of business decisions to cut corners or weak programming skills, may be responsible for a computer system crash, a security breach, poor performance or data corruption, among other things.
Repairing each line of code has a cost, or technical debt, that accumulates.

IMO, the problems with the event are bigger than just what the article mentioned.
No incentive to do anything except the urge to explore the mechanics of playing as a zombie or grieff. No quests, no overall goals, no rewards for spreading or fighting the plague, no way to track progress overall.
The mechanics were heavily favored the zombie players. Even if you wanted to fight the plague, you could never really beat it because the mechanics made getting plagued and spreading the plague so much easier than eradicating it. Especially in Shat where bugs made it so that you couldn't attack zombie players.
The only realistic outcome of that plague was the utter destruction of the entire world except that some NPCs saved the day. NPCs...not players. Any game designer in the world can tell you that's a big no-no.
Timing was baaaad. While halloween is certainly thematically appropriate, there was already an event going on that people were enjoying and participating in enthusiastically. Why step on that?
Pacing was baaaad. The 12 days after halloween, before the release would have been plenty of time.
Phase 1 - scourge invasion - aka the old naxx event. Nov 1-12th
Phase 2 - zombie plague - Nov 6-9, but with the wrath launch date so close, people have an instinctive sense for when it will end and you get MUCH less complaining.
Phase 3 - Nov 9-12 the plague is cured and the city attacks start.
No way to opt out. One level 70 zombie could shut down an entire low-level quest hub indefinitely. I know you think the immersion was important, but there's got to be a limit.

Josh Thomson has been anxiously awaiting his next opponent on his return trip to the UFC, and now he's got it.
Thomson will get the first crack at newly minted UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis in the UFC on Fox 9 main event on Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif.
The UFC had been trying to line up Pettis up against TJ Grant, since Pettis took Grant's spot at UFC 164 to win the belt from Benson Henderson. Grant, however, said on Monday that he wouldn't be quite ready by Dec. 14.
"Hey people. Quick update. Unfortunately I won't be fighting Pettis on dec 14. I am still not yet 100% n can't commit to fight," Grant tweeted. "UFC is going with someone else instead. It sucks but it is the best for both myself and the UFC.
"Please don't worry. Ill be back and if I gotta fight Someone else to get back to where I wanna be then that's what I'm gonna do. I'm not bitter. Thanks"
More MMA
The UFC later utilized its Fox partnership to announce on Monday night's Fox Sports Live that Josh Thomson would be Pettis' first challenger and headline the UFC on Fox 9 card.
Thomson (20-5, 1 no contest) is a former Strikeforce champion. He made the jump to the Octagon along with the rest of the Strikeforce fighters when the UFC assimilated the now-defunct promotion's roster earlier this year.
He was 2-1 in his initial run in the UFC during 2003 and 2004, but his time was cut short when the UFC discontinued the lightweight division for a time.
Thomson scored a TKO stoppage of Nate Diaz in his Octagon return at UFC on Fox 7 in April.
Pettis (17-2) is fresh off of his first-round submission of Benson Henderson at UFC 164 on Aug. 31. It was his fourth consecutive victory after losing to Clay Guida in his UFC debut.

Does josh Thompson deserve that shot?
Seems like he jumped ahead . Just saying..
I'm looking at the rankings right now and he's the only one in the top 5 other than Grant that isn't coming off a loss. I'm sure that's their logic. Dos Anjos is ranked 6th and is probably more deserving, but I'd rather see Thomson get the fight personally.
Lucky break for Thomson with only a win over diaz in the UFC. I guess Gil just got a title shot and lost, Gray only has 1 win since his loss to Frankie and is scheduled to fight Diaz, Dos Anjos probably isn't ready for a title shot yet, so Thomson is the only logical choice left in the weight class. I would still rather see Pettis and Aldo go at it but this should be a good fight. I see Pettis winning but wouldn't be shocked if Thomson took it. Go Pettis!!!
agree lucky is right, but he is coming off a seriously impressive performance so wish him well. it will only get more and more common that fighters will get injured pre fight as they are training very hard
Great for thomson! In my opinion this guy rarely fight.. and he beat the crap out of nate diaz the dude with an iron chin and loud mouth. Beating him the way he did should be in line because nate was number 2. Only twice he lost to was the former lightweight champ gilbert melendez, whom he beat once.
Pettis fought many strikers but not in a caliber of josh. True pettis beat cerrone but that guy hardly punch back much whenever he get hit.
I rather see frankie edgar vs anthony pettis heck many strikers pettis hasn't face yet! Gomi, Melvin gulliard. barboza or aldo!
Pettis should fight melendez which honestly makes more sense since he was the strikeforce champ….
Thomson is the best replacement right now
I think this could be a really good fight. Both are extremely well rounded with pettis being the better striker. But if Josh can weather a storm of standup his ground game might be enough to pull it out. To be fair though I dont think he will be able to defend the title. Too many good up and comers.
If you don't think Pettis will be champ for a while, you are sadly mistaken. This guy is a beast & he will be the first to beat Aldo, if Lamas doesn't do it first. I'm not saying Lamas is going to beat Aldo, but he has a good chance of beating him, but Pettis would certainly beat Aldo. IMHO!
I was actually saying that IF josh somehow manages to win HE wont be champ very long.
Pettis' ground game is very underrated.
His guard is very active and he's able to pull great submissions, as we all saw against Bendo.
I think Pettis has a style very similar to Condit.
They both have a very agressive stand-up game, and don't care that much about Takedown Defense because their guards are just so active that there's hardly any dry humper that's able to pin them down and dish some damage
I never knew a concussion in training could be this serious
I reckon Ross Pearson vs Pettis would've been a smarter pick.
Unless you're kidding…Pearson is hardly a top15 fighter. While Thomson may be jumping ahead some guys, he has better names on his record than most guys on the division
pearson vs pettis I find entertaining and both guys can be aggressive and put on a good showing.
Pearson is a great fighter, but top 8 at best. Pettis is like #8 on the P4P list! It wouldn't even be close. Ross needs 1-2 more wins vs top 10 fighters before earning a fight with someone like Pettis.
Thomson isn't anywhere top ten either, he's still relatively unknown to the general public. He's only getting a title shot due to the lightweight division being so thin now.
That's ridiculous. Look at his record. His only questionable loss in the last 8 years has been to Kawarji and that was a decision. Other than Henderson, he's the last guy to beat Melendez and he has another split decision loss with Melendez and a decision loss. The guy has gone 15 rounds with Gilbert Melendez and won a lot of those rounds.
And by the way, KO'ing Nate Diaz is pretty impressive. I'm not saying he's going to beat Pettis, but he's the right choice under the circumstances.
He's still undeserving of a title shot esp after just one fight regardless the circumstaces
Well, here's the bottom line, Mr. Kent: when people say things like this, the next most logical question to pose to them is: "well, then who do you think IS deserving."
Because your answer to this question elicits a fighter who was getting beat at 145 and has only beat mediocre competition since returning to LW, no one can even take you seriously.
I love Ross Pearson, so don't think I'm hating on the guy, but to say he's more deserving the Thomspon is just absurd on so many levels, and then to support that by saying he only has one fight is even more absurd. He's clearly been fighting UFC caliber competition before that "one fight," so how is that even relevant!? I'll answer that; it's not!
Furthermore, in that "one fight" he did something no other fighter has done.
Unknown yes. But not top ten? I disagree. He's right up there with Melendez. And Melendez is right there with bendo.
Yeah, Pettis fighting me would be entertaining too because you would see Pettis beat the S&^$ of me. That doesn't mean it's the fight that should happen.
This comment has to be a joke. Ross Pearson…seriously?
Thomson getting a title shot after one fight is a joke.
Well, while I disagree with you completely, that's a separate issue all together, now isn't it? The comment had nothing to do with whether Thompson deserved a shot (while I do argue that he does deserve it elsewhere), and everything to do with your call for Pearson to get a title shot.
I was questioning your claim (which really is a joke) that Pearson should get a title shot. Even if you think Thompson doesn't deserve a title shot, he CERTAINLY deserves it more than Pearson.
Also, in response to your "one fight" claim, that's ridiculous too. First of all, he doesn't have "one fight"; he has one fight IN THE UFC. Before that, he was fighting in the next most reputable organization against the best and doing quite well against them. And if you want to call Strikeforce a joke, then you might want to look at how well their lightweights are doing against UFC fighters. In fact, I think Melendez and Noons are the only LW's that have lost in the UFC.
When Pearson gets knocked out by Guillard
then you will see who deserves a shot.
guillard is nowhere near a title shot and his ground game sucks. Thomson has yet to earn a title shot. so what if he beat up nate diaz, rory macdonald kicked his ass too for 3 full rounds and didn't get a title shot.
Who did Pearson beat to get a title shot? Sotiropoulos,Couture
come on now
pearson has yet to be tested against a top lightweight. who has Thomson beaten, a washed up nate diaz who couldn't make in at middleweight who cant make it in lightweight either? lol
Washed up Nate Diaz?
He's a top contender at LW.
Not with back to back losses he isn't. Besides, Pearson has fought more well known names in the ufc than Thomson has
With back to back losses he's still a top10. Pearson isn't.
I agree that Pearson is a fighter that always brings it up, very entertaining and very technical boxing but he isn't a top10 fighter.
And please, he has FOUGHT, but LOST to every above-average guy he fought against.
Thomson has wins against Melendez, KJ Noons, Diaz and JZ.
Pearson's greatest win was against Sotiropoulos or Siver?
So losing to Benson whom was the champ at the time makes you washed up, Thomson is a beast
first person to finish Nate which is
more higher in rank, then any of
Pearson's fights and Diaz was in WW not MW
Nobody nobody knows who Thomson is and I doubt anyone cares. Just like Grant, he hasn't done anything to get a title shot. I'd rather see Pearson get a title shot over Thomson regardless top ten or not.
So why don't you just say that and you'd save a lot of arguing? The controversy you're sparking here is not when you say "I'd rather see Pearson get a shot." It's when you say that Pearson deserves it more than Thomson or when you say Thompson isn't deserving. You can't say a guy like Thompson isn't deserving and then recommend Ross Pearson as the alternative because you will get legitimately s*#( on for saying that.
Why don't you just say: "I don't like Thompson; I like Ross Pearson; I'd like to see Pearson get a title shot over Thompson." Then people can't argue with you.
Pearson is more deserving than Thomson. How many fights has Thomson won in ufc in his latest stay? Pearson to me has done enough to warrant a title shot.
This fight is way better IMO. Best of luck to Grant in recovery though.
unfortunate news, but josh is definitely the next guy in line. hope tj gets better soon, he's been great to watch and one of the few guys to have success after dropping weightclasses.
Being the only dude to finish Nate, and given Thompson's aggressive style, this should be an exciting fight that Pettis will likely win.
i hate people who only look at win/lost statistics and make ignorant comments. if people actually watched his fights, you would know he has only lost twice legitimately. He was robbed in both Gilbert losses, dry hump Guida is debatable
Dont sleep on Thompson, he is a legitimate threat to Pettis.
while i agree with your sentiment, Thomson was granted a gift decision victory over JZ – just saying is all.
eh.. I give you that, it wasnt obviously blatant by any means. Josh needs to learn how to wall walk and get off his back. He straight up got muscled by Kawajiri
love thomson and all the strikeforce guys…but this doesnt pan out out well for him, in all honesty.
When Pettis trows that LEG KICK to the liver, i dont know how to defend that, and you have to be able to defend that cause 2 or 3 of that and you're in BIG trouble. Maybe Thomson can hang with him on the feet, just maybe. But i dont see him taking this belt form Anthony, cause it seems like he's reached another level of fighting.

Georgia Bulldogs fans have a complicated relationship with Loran Smith, a longtime fixture on the UGA athletics scene. Sort of like that uncle with the bad jokes that you love dearly but would rather not sit next to at Thanksgiving.
I mean, no one questions that Smith is probably the most loyal citizen of the Bulldog Nation. He seems to know just about everyone and is topped probably only by the legendary Dan Magill in his knowledge of UGA athletes over the decades.
A longtime leukemia patient, Smith has worked tirelessly on behalf of a cancer support center at Athens Regional Medical Center that bears his name.
And his Bulldog bona fides are unquestionable. Uga VI's kennel name was "Uga V's Whatchagot Loran," after Larry Munson's longtime way of introducing one of Smith's sideline reports during Georgia football games. And Uga VII is officially named "Loran's Best." How can you not feel fondly toward a guy who's had two of the university's celebrated mascots named after him?
That's where those sideline reports come in.
When Larry would utter that familiar phrase you never knew what to expect from Smith except that only occasionally would it have any relevance to what was happening on the field. A favorite story among fans concerns the mid-game sideline report from Smith that then-Georgia defensive end Charles Grant likes boiled peanuts — a revelation that was met with silence from Munson, followed by, "Third and six."
Then there's Loran's somewhat unorthodox interviewing style, which isn't entirely out of place in the lengthy pregame "Tailgate Show" (soon to grow by another hour), but leaves listeners frustrated and interviewees bemused during the postgame locker show. He's as likely to ask one of the game's star players about something the kid's hometown is known for as he is the game itself. And nobody lobs a softball to the coaches like Loran, as in "How pleased are you that your team won the game today?"
The one time Smith actually asked something pertinent — questioning Jim Donnan about a host of players leaving the game with cramps against South Carolina in 1997 — he got his head bitten off by the head coach.
(While Bulldogs fans may complain about Loran, they didn't take kindly to Donnan, still considered something of an outsider at the time, acting snippy toward a UGA legend on the air. Donnan didn't make many friends in the Bulldog Nation that day.)
So now comes word that new rights holder ISP Sports is going to do some revamping of the football radio broadcasts. They say Smith will still play a role, but don't say what that role is. Quite a few UGA fans have gone on record hoping we'll at least get a new sideline reporter. And maybe a new locker room interviewer, too. Limit Loran's rambling stories and interviews to the "Tailgate Show," they say.
I can't argue with that. But I'm here today to say something in defense of Loran Smith.
Loran Smith, the writer, that is.
Because as awkward and embarrassing as Loran might be on the air, he's the exact opposite on the printed page. His encyclopedic knowledge of Bulldogs lore makes him the ideal editor of the UGA game programs (for which he writes virtually all the articles). He's written numerous books about the Bulldogs, including the 1980 celebration "Glory, Glory" with Lewis Grizzard, "Dooley's Dawgs," "Between the Hedges" (a wonderful chronicle of the first hundred years of UGA football), "Finish the Drill" and "The Georgia Football Vault," plus volumes on the Masters, Athens and tailgating recipes (the latter done with his wife, Myrna).
And his frequent newspaper columns, published in the Athens Banner-Herald and a few other Georgia papers, are a warm, engaging mix of updates on old Bulldog athletes, tributes to departed Dawgs, stories from the old days (when Loran and Dan Magill are gone, who will tell these tales?) plus reminiscences and musings on just about any subject, from traveling in Europe to a wounded veteran, a favorite brand of sausage, the decline of newspapers, his love of golf and persimmon trees.
His column after the 2007 win over Florida, describing the victorious locker room scene and how Vince Dooley had told the players about the days when UGA owned that series and Bulldog players looked forward with pride to Jacksonville, got me a bit misty-eyed, I have to say.
And as clunky as he might be on radio, Smith shines in print. "Regrettably, we lost a tree last year," he wrote not too long ago, "but that means we will have plenty of firewood for a couple or more winters. Losing a tree causes heartache, but when it becomes firewood, you curiously feel there is something of an extension of its life through its usefulness."
That's downright eloquent. Though as one of my brothers pointed out, "that's because you didn't have to listen to Loran saying it."
Which sort of sums up the Loran Smith conundrum.
So let someone else report to us from the sideline about what's going on during a game. Maybe that will give Loran more time to tell his readers about Charles Grant and the joys of boiled peanuts.

It should be noted that Loran Smith is also one of the last of a generation of true "Southern Gentlemen" in the best sense of the term. And almost as much of an institution as Munson.
June 30th, 2009
10:53 am
I love Loran becuase he is like the slightly out of touch relative that you go to games with. He has so many awesome stories but talking to him is like tlaking to my 3 year old(he says the darnedest things). His insightful contributions on the sideline such as "Larr-uh,This is one excited team to be winning against fla-dah." circa 1997 in response to Munson's "whatday got on the sidelines, loran?" If that isn't classic I don't know what is!
June 30th, 2009
10:55 am
I would like to see buck belue or Kevin butler down there if loran isn't.
June 30th, 2009
11:10 am
Who doesn't love it when Loran sings "Turn out the lights, the party's over"?
It means the Dawgs have just won another big one. Music to my ears.

11:21 am
A favorite story among fans concerns the mid-game sideline report from Smith that then-Georgia defensive end Charles Grant likes boiled peanuts — a revelation that was met with silence from Munson, followed by, "Third and six."
Holy crap that is hilarious.
June 30th, 2009

If you think Loran is hard to listen to, you must have never heard Buck Belue. He's never met an audience he could no bore..

Big Dan, I hate to admit it, but you're right.
June 30th, 2009
11:50 am
My 5 year old son has battled Leukemia for 4 years, and last fall Loran got him on the sideline during the Tech game. My son didn't care who won the game, just the fact he was able to be in attendance was enough for him. Thanks again Loran for the awesome day we will never forget! I don't care what fans say about you, I have your back.
June 30th, 2009

Nice write up. I've always taken Loren for granted. Thanks for reminding me of all that he does Bill.
June 30th, 2009
11:53 am
I would echo the sentiment. It's still funny to remember a post-game interview w/Thomas Brown in '07 when Brown called Smith out on-air for checking out some girl when Smith went to class with Brown one day…
June 30th, 2009
11:55 am
Loran Smith another UGA legend, I would like to see him in some part on the sidelines. Loran is a part of UGA and it's history.
June 30th, 2009
11:57 am
Loran's writing is the best by far of anybody covering sports in the entire state. He is so much head and shoulders above anybody at the AJC that it embarrasses me for yall. I find his writng much interesting than Furman Bisher (and unlike loran's ramblings on the radio) much more relevant and coherent than Bisher. The rest of you at the urinal and constipation are hacks.

…this piece is almost Furman Bisheresque! Good effort parlaying what I thought would be another uninformative blog into a real journalistic piece of work – your professors should be most proud.
And, the quote from your brother "that's because you didn't have to listen to Loran saying it" was the icing on the cake!

From someone who's worked closely with Loran, he is one of the kindest and most informative people I have met. One of the real jewels in UGA's crown.

I have read his articles, they are good to great. His sideline reporting is like taking a trip to the Twilight Zone. He is definitely living in an alternative Universe on the sidelines. But I have become used to it over the years, you never know what he will say when they cut to him. Both my daughters could hit his locker room softballs out of the park. With all this said, I hope there is room for him and Magill on the pre-game show.

Good analogy Bill. I love him to death but it's tough listening to him sometimes.

Just remember y'all, you don't know what you've got till it's gone. Loran Smith should be on the sideline until he says it's time to go, just like Larry in the radio booth made his own call to quit.

Seems like it's out with the old, in with the new. Change is just a constant these days. If you like what's happening, stick around a few minutes, days, or months and it will be gone. Gone are the "Junkyard Dawgs", "Larry", "Loran", "3 yards and a cloud of dust".
Now we got the warm fuzzies, razzle dazzle, glitz and glamor. Defense is forgotten, sacrificed by great wide receivers, marquee quarterbacks, and running backs that pull themselves out of games for a breather. Where are the blood and guts, leave it all on the field, pride?
Loran is a DGD, a class human being, and will be missed by this Dawg, along with many other things we were accustomed to….

loran is the man! He does a great job and always has. I don't understand what the criticism is about. All i know is that over the past four or five years it has become fashionable for so-called Georgia people to peck, peck, peck at him like friggin' hens at a pecking party. i hope they leave things "as is" and that includes loran on the sideline and on the pre- and post-game. If Loran ain't a DGD, there has never been one. He has earned waaaay more respect than any of these cyber-jerks who are putting him down just because they think it is the thing to do! And they call themselves Dawgs! Well, they're not Dawgs. ("Fredo, you're my brother and I love you … but don't ever, ever take sides against the family again."

Loran is an old school southern gentleman, he would never ask anything that might show the University or it's football team in a bad light. If Loran has to go can we have Erwin Andrews? Just asking.

Rusty Gunn is on the mark– like Larry, Loran is a Georgia institution and should be on the sidelines for as long as he can say "Wuf, wuf, wuf."

I still think one of the funniest Loranisms is when Larry asked him a out a player and Loran says, "well, Larry it looks like he got hit in his man parts"

If the so called Georgia fans knew just 10% of what Loran Smith has done to help down and out coaches, players, Georgia students, alumni and fans they would bow in reverence when they saw him. There is not one person still employed at UGA that even comes close to having the outstanding record he has compiled at UGA in the last 45 or 50 years. Bill, I can't believe you would bring up a subject like this if you really know Loran. He would never write an article about what a goose you are. What cheap way to get comments for your bland blog. You don't like his radio interviews, I don't like your goofy picture on your blog. The AJC has gone from being a newspaper to being a small newsletter. With your help, it will get even smaller.

I just have to write about how special Loran Smith is to the program. I am in favor of keeping him on the sidelines for as long as he wants to be there. I wanted him and Larry to go out together. Loran is the last remaining active link to our storied past and along with Dan Magill and Claude Felton are truly Georgia's greatest historians. They don't make them like Loran anymore and if there will ever be another one it'll be a seventy year process. Loran represents everything that we love about the Bulldog Nation, the charm, history, and feelings associated with it. He also is as selfless as they come as serves as the ultimate ambassador for our programs. Nobody in the conference or country could ever say a negative word about Loran or Larry as they have been the utmost Georgia gentlemen for over half a century. Long live Loran Smith and the Bulldog Nation!

Back in the 1930s when Gene Talmadge was being introduced at one of his famous Bar BQs, the person introducing him was interupped by a person in the crowd under the influence of a byproduct of the local corn crop. He told the master of ceromonies that he as just said ole Gene was an SOB. The MC never missed a beat and said, he is, but he's our SOB and you have to vote for him. Just like Ole Gene, Loran is ours, he's family, and if you are not in the family, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

OK call me a jerk, but I've hated listening to Loran Smith for more than 30 years. I always wondered who he was related to so that he could get that job. But you've convinced me that despite his utter lack of broadcast talent, he's a good writer and a great bulldog fan. But would it really be so bad to hire someone with talent to do the sideline reports and interviews?
July 3rd, 2009
9:58 pm
OK, I'll comply with your request…. Gary, you are a jerk. Not only that,you are a stupid jerk! During the 30 year period that you were hating listening to Loran, you should have had enough sense to find the knob on the radio and turn it off. If you weren't such a jerk, you would have had a friend to help you turn off the radio. Jerk!… You wondered who he was related to? Have you also wondered who your father was? Jerk!

Loran wouldn't be leaving the sidelines if he weren't ready to leave the sidelines. He wouldn't be taking the pregame show gig, either. He'd be letting everyone know he's being forced out, so that's apparently not the case.

Most homeowners expect to spend money on their house, and not just for mortgage payments and insurance. They might want to add a backyard deck, remodel the kitchen, build an addition or tackle other projects to enhance the home and put their personal stamp on the design.
But what if all of those dollars had to go to repairs rather than improvements? It's one thing to drop $20,000 and get a great new kitchen; it's another to spend that same money replacing the heating and air-conditioning system, eliminating dangerous old wiring or rescuing a crumbling foundation. Those kinds of big expenses are heartbreakers, devouring the fun money you'd hoped would pay for a new master suite or some other real improvements.
Every home purchase involves some unknowns and risks, but smart buying requires evaluating all of the major systems and components to ensure they are sound and compliant with code requirements. If you're a typical homebuyer, you enlist the services of a professional home inspector for this task, but their expertise and competence vary widely. Ultimately, the homebuyer will live with the consequences of the decision, and that's who needs some educating to spot a good home — and a good home inspector.
Canadian contractor Mike Holmes has lent his expertise to the HGTV network for the television series Holmes Inspection, and he has compiled much of that advice and information in a book of the same name.
The straight-talking, no-nonsense tone of the book is genuine Holmes, perfectly in keeping with his on-screen persona. This side of home building and remodeling is the gritty stuff, with big consequences for bad decisions and poor workmanship, and the author gives these weighty issues their due. A home inspection is often the key to making a decision about a fair price or even making an offer at all, and Holmes insists the process is a pathway filled with land mines for the unaware. Here are some caveats:
• Inspectors have limits. They are not allowed to move personal property, can inspect only what is visible and accessible, and typically work under contracts that exempt them from evaluating many critical factors in a home's condition. These factors can include air quality, fireplaces and wood stoves, the presence of toxic substances (such as mold, asbestos or lead paint), and many other important issues. An inspection is not a warranty that problems won't develop or may exist and remain undetected, and financial damages from a misleading inspection report are often limited to the fee for the inspection service, even if the overlooked or undiagnosed problem costs thousands of dollars to remedy.
• Conflicts of interest can undermine an honest review. Many home inspectors get work through referrals from real estate agents. An inspector who notes every defect is likely to derail some sales, and a real estate agent will soon look elsewhere to find an inspector with a "friendlier" approach. Inspectors know this, so they often tread carefully to avoid displeasing the agents who refer them, even though they are supposed to be serving the interests of the homebuyer. To counter this influence, Holmes advises would-be buyers to recruit their own inspector or insist on at least three referrals from a real estate agent and interview all of them.
• Training, qualifications and regulations are inconsistent. Home inspection is one of those problematic professions that requires well-trained and knowledgeable practitioners, but they aren't subject to consistent training standards and oversight. There are certification and licensing standards in some states, but they vary widely, and the minimum requirements don't ensure that an inspector is qualified. More surprising, Holmes says, is that many inspectors have little or no actual experience in the building trades. No one person can master all the details involved in a modern home, but any inspector should be able to answer specific questions about their training, credentials and the number of inspections they've done.
• House "flipping" can mask problems. Rapid appreciation of real estate values tends to make speculators out of otherwise sensible people, and can turn investors and building contractors into "morally challenged" opportunists. There's nothing wrong with home renovations and re-sales that turn a profit, but too often a quick-buck mentality is what drives the agenda, and the house will get merely cosmetic rather than genuine improvements. If you know or suspect that a home has gotten a quick renovation by an interim owner before being put back on the market, you and your inspector should be especially vigilant about spotting any shortcuts in the work.
Despite the potential setbacks in the process, finding a good home inspector isn't a blind gamble. Not only does Holmes' book inform readers about reliable methods for hiring a qualified inspector, it spends multiple chapters covering specifics about electrical systems, roofing and siding, heating and cooling systems, structural issues, and other aspects of home construction.
Homebuyers who take the lessons seriously will know better where to look, what to look for, and if a professional inspector is really their ally.

Why I Refused To Get A Flu Shot
I prefer to know exactly what's going into my body.
Recently I was notified that in order to continue teaching my nutrition workshops in a local hospitals wellness center, I'd be required to receive one of their free flu shots.
I was given two options to decline: medical or religious reasons. So I chose to file a spiritual declination.
After submitting my formal refusal of the flu shot, I was notified that I can no longer teach my public nutrition classes at the Wellness Center during flu season because I dont belong to a church that has a written doctrine against flu vaccines.
I continue to offer my holistic nutrition classes at several other locations in town, and I feel that I did the right thing by refusing a flu shot. Here's why:
1. The flu shot doesnt prevent the flu.
The label on the vaccination clearly states that the vaccine doesnt prevent the flu.
There are 3 to 4 flu strains included in a flu shot based on last years best guess of what next years flu strains might be. Therefore, the vaccine may have nothing to do with any flu strain that is active in your area.
2. A flu shot can make you more susceptible to other strains of flu the next year.
A recent study from the University of Minnesota found that receiving a flu shot for one strain may contribute to higher risk of contraction and severity from the flu of a different strain the following year. This needs to be studied in depth and long-term before continuing the mass flu shot hysteria.
3. I work with the public, none of whom are required to have a flu shot to attend my classes.
It seems unfair that I could attend my classes but I cannot teach them.
4. I dont work with patients or provide any kind of health care.
In fact, the building is full of other companies who don't require their employees to receive flu shots.
5. I don't like the toxins in the flu vaccine.
There can be many toxins in the flu shotpreservatives, metals, and contaminants that I choose to avoid. For instance, according to the package insert, Fluzone contains formaldehyde, which is a known carcinogen. Injecting these and other toxins directly into your bloodstream bypasses your bodys own filtration and detoxification system it normally uses before dumping what you ingest into your bloodstream.
6. There can be serious side effects from receiving a flu shot.
That's why you must sign a waiver when you receive one. If I choose to receive a flu shot, I'll be required to sign a release of liability in case I do suffer any negative effects. No thanks.
7. I boost my immunity during flu season with alternative methods.
I like to use garlic, olive leaf extract, Echinacea and golden seal to stay healthy during virus season.
8. I believe a higher power has provided everything we need to stay healthy.
It's up to us to take care of our bodies with natural resources whenever possible.

The medical industry is destroying our best line of antimicrobial therapy, antibiotics. The routine is to dish out all the antibiotics they can, even for conditions that do not warrant the use of antibiotics, such as viruses, or simply prescribing it to people who are not even sick. The over prescription of this medication has lead to widespread microbial immunity to most strains of antibiotics, with a continually diminishing effect. On a very basic level, antibiotics assist white blood cells in fighting off invasive organisms. Over the course of several microbial generations they inevitably have genetic mutations, some of which will enable them to survive the attacks of the antibiotics. There comes a point of saturation where enough of the new mutation is present to negate the antibiotics and this is why they stop being effective. This has rendered pharmacological exploration a necessity just to find strains that will be effective against the newly immune bio-entities. It of course means more money for big pharma in research grants and the obvious sales increase they get from pushing ineffective medications. Vaccination is worse again than treatment as you didn't even need the introduction of the antibiotics to your immune system, yet you are now the human Petri dish for the microbial war that can only end one way, the microbial immunisation against the antibiotics you have taken

Novak Djokovic was on CBS'60 Minutes last night. He is truly enjoying his 15 minutes of fame. Here is the link for those who haven't seen it.
To tennis fans out there, nothing that was said here was new. I am actually surprised they didn't talk about how he learned to play in a dried out swimming pool (sarcasm). But this was a nice moment for tennis, especially in the States right now where there is constant chatter about tennis not being big enough (it's not, especially compared to NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB); and it doesn't help that there are no "big presence" American players (we'll touch on this again soon, this post is on Novak's 15 minutes). Enjoy the clip!
Tennis Podcast- Jon Wertheim/Andy Murray -
I love Jon Wertheim's Tennis Mailbag. He is a great tennis writer, with good insight. Sports Illustrated has come out with a new podcast on tennis that Wertheim hosts. Here is this week's podcast with Andy Murray and Jon Wertheim.
Murray usually seems like a downer of a person, but for once I liked him in this interview, he seems a lot more personable and somewhat more talkative.

Zynq design from scratch. Part 24.
Connect to the ZedBoard via ethernet
We need to establish an
ethernet connection
between our development host and the development board. Among other things we will use this connection to:
1. Access the web sever running in the PetaLinux installation.
2. Doing netboot.
Physical connection
Here is what the physical connection looks like. I have added an ethernet switch and connected one patch cable between the ethernet connector on the ZedBoard to one of the switch ports. The other patch cable is connected to the ethernet port on the host computer and then to one of the free switch ports. As you can see I am using a MacBook Pro with a native ethernet port. If I get this setup to work I will try the MacBook Air with the external USB to ethernet adapter later on.
We will run this setup as a stand-alone network, not relying on a local area network (LAN).
This was the easy part now we are ready for the more complicated software setup.
Fixing the ethernet port
We will setup a static IP address for the built-in ethernet port (en0). On the Mac open the system settings and select Network. Change to manually configure IPv4 and set the IP address to: 192.168.33.1
Open a terminal and enter the command ifconfig:
Checking the connection between the computer and the ZedBoard
We will set the IP Address of the ZedBoard to 192.168.33.2 (same subnet) using the command:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.33.2
Now let's try to
the ZedBoard from the MacBook.
We have setup a working ethernet connection between our host and the ZedBoard.
Accessing the PetaLinux web server
PetaLinux is running a full web server in their Linux installation. To access it we just have to enter the IP address in our favorite web browser.
Let's try some of the menu alternatives. Here is the Admin page.
Establish an ethernet connection between host and guest
Now we have to figure out how to connect to our guest OS (Ubuntu 64bit) from our host (Mac OS) and vice versa. So far we have connected to our virtual machine using NAT.
This will allow the guest system to access the broader internet through our host's connection. We wll be able to download packages, check email; whatever. Nobody outside sees anything of our guest system; as far as they're concerned, it doesn't exist. However, we cannot access any guest resources from our host machine, nor can any guest machines access each other.
Host-Only adapter
We'll need to add another network adapter to our guest machine, but this time, it'll be a Host-Only Adapter. By using this type of adapter, we'll be able to access a private, virtual network consisting solely of our host and any guests. Any of the member machines can access each other, but nothing outside of this self-contained "network in a box" can get in. We will shutdown our guest OS and add a host-only network adapter.
1. Select Preferences from the VirtualBox top menu.
2. In the preference pane select Network.
3. Select Host-only Networks and then the add icon (+). The vboxnet0 will be added.
4. Click the edit icon (the bottom one).
Take note of the IP address
That's the address at which our guests can access the host.
6. The IP address
is the start of the Class C private range. By convention, network routers and other
use 192.168.0.0 to reference a private network generically.
7. Select DHCP Server.
By default, there's a DHCP server set up on the network. Since we're going to be assigning static IP addresses, we don't really need this, so we can uncheck the "Enable Server" box on the DHCP configuration panel.
9. Click OK
10. We will create a new network adapter (Adapter 2) and attach it to host-only adapter.
11. We are ready to boot our guest OS (Ubuntu).
12. We now have two "ethernet cards" , eth0 and eth1 in our guest OS
Configure the guest
We need each of the guests to have a static IP address on the host-only network. Log in to our Ubuntu guest and issue the following command:
sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.56.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Set guest IP address permanent
If we set the IP address using the ifconfig command it is just temporary. When we reboot Ubuntu this configuration will disappear. To make it permanent follow this steps:
1. From the Ubuntu menu select System Settings->Network.
2. Select the wired network matching eth1. Check the MAC address to find out which one it is. Enable it and click the Options button.
3. Select IPv4 settings. Choose Manual method and specify the IP address, netmask, and gateway. Click Save.
Ping from host to guest
Ping from guest to host
Remote login using ssh
Secure Shell
) is a cryptographic
network protocol
for secure
data communication
, remote
, remote command execution, and other secure
network services
between two networked computers that connects, via a
secure channel
over an insecure network. Before we can use ssh we have to enable ssh servers for both the host and guest.
Start the ssh/sftp server in Mac OS X
Open System Preferences and click on "Sharing"
Select the check box next to "Remote Login" to enable it.
Setting up an ssh/sftp server in Ubuntu
Install the following packages to enable the ssh server:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
Remote login from host to guest
Here is the command to login from the Mac OS X host. Don't forget to include the guest's username before the IP address.
Remote login from guest to host
Here is the command to login from the Ubuntu guest. Don't forget to include the host's username before the IP address.
We now have established an ethernet connection between the host and the guest and between the host and the ZedBoard. This will allow us to communicate and transfer data to/from all three nodes in our system.

Hi Sven
My computer and zedboard can ping each other successfully, but my computer cannot @ my zedboard. It says connection refused. I use petalinux 2014.2.

hi Sven
what if we need to set Ethernet on Zedboard, but with standalone application, in order to make a connection with Pc or other device which have ethernet connection, my goal is to send xml file from zedboard to the other device via Ethernet, but with standalone application ?
thank you

Topic - FS: Rab Vector Waterproof Primaloft Belay Jacket. As new!!
frankbabs - on 15 May 2014 - user since 05/Nov/07
Price: Ł70
Hi Folks,
Waterproof Toray shell,(Alpkit use this on their PD sleeping bags), Primaloft insulation with Pertex Quantum lining, fully taped seams. Waterproof zips. Insulated hood can zip into collar. Colour is deep red with grey flanks. Size is a generous medium. Highly compressible for your sac.
I bought two of these a few years back in their outlet shop for Ł115 each. My other blue one has been used and abused and is still waterproof. These are a cracking piece of kit sadly no longer made by Rab.
This one is in excellent, if not as new, condition having been genuinely used two or three times around Town by my wife. Completely forgot it was languishing in her wardrobe!!
Multiple pics available on request. Price includes recorded delivery for peace of mind.
Many thanks
