INDIANAPOLIS – The Bengals finished off their preseason with a 27-7 win at Indianapolis against the Colts Thursday night. Now comes the tough part.
The Bengals and every other NFL team have to cut their rosters to 53 players by 4 p.m. on Saturday. That means the Bengals have to make 22 transactions to reach the limit. Spots can be reduced by placing players on injured reserve (ending their season), the physically unable to perform list (PUP, which means they are out for at least the first six weeks of the season) or outright releasing them.
Teams can establish a practice squad of up to eight players on Sunday.
Head coach Marvin Lewis said after the game that there were probably seven or eight roster spots he and the coaching staff would have to finalize by Saturday. The Bengals open up the regular season at Baltimore on Sept. 7.
"I think we got accomplished what we needed to get accomplished and we seemed to come through the game healthy, which is good," said Lewis. "Now everything is pointed towards Baltimore. That's the most important part."
The Colts did not play any of their starters as well as sitting several other key reserves. Quinn Gray started at quarterback for Indianapolis, with Jared Lorenzen playing the second and third quarters. Gray returned for the fourth quarter.
The Bengals didn't rest nearly that many starters but were still without three key players on defense and offensive starters Carson Palmer, Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Running back Rudi Johnson, who has been supplanted as the starter by Chris Perry, dressed for the game but did not play. Johnson has been the subject of trade rumors this week and his future with the team is uncertain. He is due a base salary of $3.2 million this season and could end up being cut if the Bengals decide they are comfortable enough with Perry, Kenny Watson and DeDe Dorsey as their halfbacks. Rookie James Johnson is a viable candidate for the practice squad.
Johnson did not play this preseason after suffering a slight hamstring strain the first week of training camp, an injury that lingered until he returned to practice this week. Both Johnson and Houshmandzadeh, who also missed the majority of the preseason with hamstring troubles but practiced this week, warmed up with the team prior to the game.
It was Lewis' decision to not play the two. "We'll see how things go. The one thing I do know is I'll be ready for Week 1. Regardless of how it goes down I'll be ready," said Johnson after the game. "I came out and worked out before the game, doing drills and stuff before the game and it felt good. Then I did pre-game warm-ups with the team and it felt very good. Like I said whatever happens I'll be ready for Week 1. You know one thing, I'm a business man."
Ryan Fitzpatrick started in place of Palmer and led the Bengals on a 21-play drive on their opening possession. They used 11 minutes and 22 seconds of the clock to score their first touchdown. Perry ran through a gaping hole up the middle of the line for 5-yard touchdown run. Shayne Graham's extra point made it 7-0.
The lead increased to 14-0 two minutes later when Fitzpatrick and Glenn Holt connected on a 9-yard touchdown pass. The score was set up when defensive tackle Domata Peko got the lineman's trifecta with a sack of Gray, forced fumble and fumble recovery to set the offense up at the 10-yard line.
"It was a little harder to evaluate because he wasn't playing with what hopefully would be the regular cast around him would he be playing but he did a good job of managing the game, the ball was going in the right spots and when things break down he's able to move the team with his feet a little bit, which is an added bonus and a great quality to have," said Lewis. "I think he did a nice job. Everybody is real comfortable with Ryan in there at quarterback. We got a chance to see tonight him start the game and do like he did. He had a good week of preparation and he comes through and plays."
Fitzpatrick ends the preseason with a passer rating of 104.2. He completed 24 of 35 passes for 218 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He showed all preseason that the Bengals can have faith in him to run the offense this season should he ever be called on to do so in place of Palmer.
"I'm pleased with how the preseason went personally," said Fitzpatrick. "I know there are a lot of things we still have to work on and that I have to work on but overall I think things went real well."

Um, I'm just wondering if it's OK if I hold you down against your will for a little bit?More than a few people have recognized the Fridge Logic in the behavior of the average Lawful Stupid character. After all, smiting someone merely because your magic radar told you he was evil seems more sociopathic than heroic to most. Someone can be evil without being a threat; maybe they're just out shopping, or dream of ruling the world, but don't necessarily want to harm anyone, or are working on their good-impairement issues as a regular in the local Monsters Anonymous meetings. In order to avoid this however, some people take things too far to the other side; resulting in All-Loving Hero taken to its illogical extreme. The Stupid Good character is "good" to the point of being unable to comprehend that someone else might be bad. As such, she's a Friend to All Living Things, unliving things, and things that ought not live. In short: good, but in a bad way. This often extends to such utter pacifism that they refuse to kill, attack, or even defend themselves from anything. While most people would flee or fight back when faced with a foe which cannot be reasoned with, this person will attempt to talk down the enemy even as they're charging with swords drawn, howling for their heads. And while Actual Pacifist characters can make this work with their devotion to pacifism actually being challenged, Stupid Good characters bring the Holier Than Thou trope into play, finding their pacifism easy in even the most violent and desperate of situations. This is the kind of person who would attempt to convince the devil himself that his evil crusade is wrong and that he and his good counterpart should resolve their differences with a kind word and a handshake. It is difficult, if not impossible to reason with hardened criminals or terrorists of any sort (at least, in most cases, without a credible threat of force that this sort of personality would naturally be unwilling to provide), both in reality and in fantasy. It gets even more ridiculous when one tries negotiating with entities whose goals include the conquest/destruction/domination of the world, or pure manifestations of evil. Yet the Stupid Good character attempts to convert the villain to the side of good using The Power of Friendship anyway — cue everyone complaining when the predictable bloodbath ensues. The other players often see this kind of character as a nuisance, especially when they just want to crack some heads and she won't let them because she doesn't want to make orphans of the "cute little baby orcs". Such a player may be bringing too much of a rigid stance into an action-adventure series where creatures can be Always Chaotic Evil, and thus may be ruining the other players' fun. They don't want to have a huge moral quandary on their hands every time enemies attack. Suffice to say, this isn't really the intended way to play a paladin either (though the Book of Exalted Deeds did provide vows of non-violence for those who wanted to play a pacifist character). The Book of Exalted Deeds didn't provide so much advice for these players (indeed, they left a paladin to choose between "destroying evil and honoring love" when said love was between two Always Chaotic Evil succubi), but they did indicate a good character could ask "How big is that dragon, and does it have any friends?" with an eye towards knowing if they stand a chance at all. Guess Wizards of the Coast thought it was more important to avoid being Miko Miyazaki than it was to avoid being Piffany. In some settings, however, Stupid Good behavior may actually work — though these settings also tend to be so high on the idealistic end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism that they crap sunshine and puke rainbows. The Purity Sue also has a tendency to convert any villain — no matter how loathsome — to the side of Light. This approach can even work on occasion in more cynical works, but in a completely different way: A character may turn out to be a Fluffy Tamer, befriending things that have been assumed to be Always Chaotic Evil, but are actually Reluctant Monsters or Non Malicious Monsters responding to violence with violence. In truely cynical works, this may still actually work, but go horribly right: the monster may be so taken with the Stupid Good character that it decides to give him a hug, The Gentle Giant may be a Lethal Klutz, or they may discover that Nature Is Not Nice when one of their new friends eats another new friend. Arguably the darkest variant is when Hands Off My Fluffy crosses paths with a crowd carrying Torches and Pitchforks chanting Burn the Witch!. One fairly awesome way that a Stupid Good Fluffy Tamer can be played completely straight even in the most cynical of works with little to no narm, however, is by a pairing that results in a Badass and Child Duo. In a Death World, this is typically the only way a child or equivalently naive character could plausibly survive, and the mere existance of a Wide-Eyed Idealist can be enough to rouse an antihero into a Knight in Sour Armor, devoting themselves to the preservation of this innocence. If becoming good results in Stupid Good, see Hero Ball. Despite the implications, not actually related to Dumb Is Good, which is where a lack of intelligence means a person is innately inclined to be good, as opposed to taking Good to such extremes as to act in a stupid manner (so this is more along the lines of Good Is Dumb). Not necessarily a perfect mirror to Stupid Evil. Many fictional characters (and real people) see good as being worthy of pursuit for its own sake, even when it seems illogical; evil characters are expected to place self-interest above the desire to merely be perceived as "evil". After all, part of being evil is not caring about what other people think about you (in most cases). However there is no universal agreed-upon-by-everyone "good" or "bad".

Thank you
He's not a frog, he's a inland bearded dragon
Thank you for the welcome!
Hi Ruth
Thank You so much for this warm welcome!!
Dear Ruth, I deleted the video immediately upon reading your message. It works in the U.K so I wouldn't think it's a problem. It was just an afterthought to the discussion and doesn't need to be replaced.
Ruth, I'm not the best cook, but I use the extra virgin for saute. We don't do super hot temps. We have a gas stove with the burner set on medium. My partner grew up on Chinese stir fry and this works for him too. I scramble eggs and make hash browns with the same olive oil at medium. It is Kirkland Extra Virgin Organic in 2 liter bottle.
For all I know we do it all wrong, but it works for us.
Ruth, just as a point of information: could you please edit the title on your Fuck You= Australia's Coal Policy piece? Back when we actually had moderators on here, they used to be concerned about that getting A|N flagged for inappropriate content. I'm not a moderator, but I think that's important enough to consider.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ruth
Many thanks for the welcome, I'll take a look at the groups you recommend!
Hi Ruth A G

we're done here?
back to Earth ; )(
Hey, Ruth!
Considering your environmental consciousness, I thought today's entry from delancyplace.com was worth your time. Wasn't sure if you were subscribed to them. I am, and their daily vignettes I find both interesting and occasionally very important.
I made a comment in a discussion that was for you - I'm copying it here so you will be sure to see it:
About 30% of people with IBS are estimated to have non-celiac gluten sensitivity. More may have non-gluten food allergies.
I've been looking into the research on non-classical food allergies (not the kind of food allergy everyone knows about that may cause anaphylaxis). The research on adults almost all relates to people with IBS.
There isn't a lab test for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, but the best diagnostic procedure would be to do what was done in a study on NCGS. They say people with NCGS were in two separate groups - people who were sensitive only to gluten grains, and people with multiple food allergies including gluten grains.
The people with multiple food allergies were likely to have other allergy problems as well, such as allergic rhinitis, eczema and asthma. So if you have allergy problems and IBS, food allergies are especially likely to be causing the symptoms.
As was done in the study, one should first get tests for celiac disease, either the blood test panel or a biopsy of the small intestine. Celiac disease may be misdiagnosed as IBS.
They did double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges, but in practice, a food challenge usually just means eating some of the food, after the hypoallergenic elimination diet described in the study, and seeing what happens.
Also, people with IBS may be helped by a low-FODMAPS diet. FODMAPS include the fructans that you already know cause problems for you. I'm not sure if non-classical food allergies can cause people to be more sensitive to FODMAPS - it could be that if you quit eating certain foods, you would no longer have a general sensitivity to FODMAPS.
It's a really good idea to know if you have NCGS, because it's theorized that NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease - so avoiding gluten could prevent getting celiac disease in the future. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, so if you have a family history of autoimmune problems or you have autoimmune problems yourself, you are more likely to have celiac disease.
I have a LOT of those non-classical food allergies, but I'm not sensitive to FODMAPS in general. I have BOTH autoimmune problems (Hashimoto's and probably celiac disease), AND allergy problems (allergic rhinitis and non-classical food allergies).
Hi Ruth!
Thank you for your welcome (2011)
and sorry for being late! (I really enjoyed your welcome, but conceited, I didn't want to expose my poor English)
Brought up in a Pentecost-family, but living in a country with 85% atheists I ought to, mentally, feel at home rather in a country with 85% believers, so I read Nexus with high recognition.
With no problem being an atheist, I can pity the minorities of believers here. After all, our common forefather invented religions, deities, angels etc. So for me it's why?
50 years as an atheist (And chemist) my great interest is now evolution and cosmology, topics with build-in evolution. So I'm very grateful living in era with free papers like The Scientist where you can read of all subjects outside your own sphere. If you can sort out the rubbish Internet is a "blessing". ( I like biblical words because they are so human)
Best whishes
Thank you.

Universal Discusses Sequel for "The Best Man"…
In the Black community the film The Best Man is a classic film that his jumped decades and still remained popular in may households. With its cast filled with prominent actors and a great story-line that can send you through an emotional roller-coaster with each viewing. The 1999 Film grossed 35 million with box office and VHS sales and became one of the more memorable black dominated wedding films in past history.
Now, Universal Studios have flirted with the idea of creating a sequel to the original film. Universal has set Malcolm D Lee, to write , produce and direct the new Sequel in-titled "Best Man 2" and would like to employ the original cast to play the characters.
TAY DIGGS & NIA LONG (Movie Still from The Best Man, 1999)
A quick Synopsis of the film: The film follows Tay Diggs who plays a writer who has a brand new book out that is receiving critical acclaim, but a novel that also holds a lot of skeletons. Diggs fly's to New York for his best friends wedding ceremony. Here he hides and dodges questions from Terrance Howard, and tries to sneak past Nia Long's sexual aura that keeps the tension high. This, all while having a fiance back home in Chicago who is waiting on his return. The film came out when I was just 9 years old, but it seems like it on once a year, so If you haven't had a chance to view it, I wold recommend this as the sequel will probably be just as shocking as the first

Instead of using prepared ranch dressing, I increased the amount of sour cream and used a homemade dry ranch dressing mix. I did not try this myself but my boys RAVED about it. It lasted about 15 minutes, then it was gone.
I baked chicken breast, adding hot sauce to them and a little Lawry's seasoning, cooled and shredded. This was a great way to get teenage boys to eat raw veges. Very good dip, served with sugar snap peas, carrots and celery. Gone and requested for next "overnight".
Best buffalo chicken dip recipe yet! I used the breast meat from a store bought fresh cooked rotisserie chicken. I needed mine to be warm throughout a Super Bowl party so cooked it at 350 for 15 minutes and then put it in a little crockpot on "low" for the remainder of the afternoon. Yum!!!

I put these together after seeing a rather good quotable line on Tumblr in response to the "why do you need guns" question. I added my own twist to it with the first aid quip. These questions get to the heart of the issue at hand: Whose life is it anyway? If your life belongs to you, then you are free to decide how you deal with emergencies such as fire, injury, or crime is in your hands and no one has the right to take that away from you. If your life does not belong to you, then you are a slave whose life is in the hands of agents of the state. These agents have no interest in keeping you alive, or your possessions safe, beyond what they can extract from you through the force or fraud of state power, namely taxation.
Worth the read.

True StoryThis is my story. I wrote it. With my own two hands I have crafted this tale, right from my own imagination. I created it from nothing, or rather, from scraps left over from a dictionary. It starts with a guy whose name escapes me. He does something that you wouldn't believe, (or maybe you would. You can be kind of like that sometimes.) Bad things happen, and he loses faith a few times, and just when you think life could never be good again, it is. He doesn't live happily ever after, but the problem he was facing is resolved to your satisfaction. I just wish I could remember the details.
You'd love it; it was just your kind of story. It had all the elements that I knew you'd enjoy, so I couldn't help but think of you the whole time I wrote it. In fact, I may have accidently slipped you in there somewhere. It was tasteful though. You would have liked it.
I won an award for the story. Everyone dusted off their old typewriters for some reason, and sent me a letter of congratulations. It w
FisheyeYour honest words perch upon brash lips,
teetering on thoughtful intentions; a super hero's cape
embroidered with moth holes, gossamered secret identity
shielding the crestfallen heart you disguise as armor,
forgotten about with a forced amnesia
until its lonely beating rips a hole
through your defenses.
I'm your kryptonite and your sunshine
the thing that makes you human, and weak,
and untouchable,
and mighty,
and a villain to the unloved,
and my savior.
I'm the have and have-not,
the desired and the disdained
for your every rib aches to feel the pressure of my palms
and the tangle of my fingers witching for your marrow;
your every fiber argues my nearness and my absence,
and your heart murmurs a welcome and a warning.

I've been wanting to tell you for so long,
your honesty is a lie.

7 key findings about stay-at-home moms
1More moms are staying home: The share of mothers who do not work outside the home has risen over the past decade, reversing a long-term decline in stay-at-home mothers. (In the U.S. today, 71% of all mothers work outside the home.) Two-thirds are "traditional" married stay-at-home mothers with working husbands, but a growing share is unmarried.
2Americans say a parent at home is best: Despite the fact that most mothers in the U.S. work at least part time, 60% of Americans say children are better off when a parent stays home to focus on the family, while 35% say they are just as well off when both parents work outside the home.
3But opinions vary by religion, ethnicity and education: Hispanics, white evangelical Protestants and those who never attended college are more likely to say children are better off with a parent at home. College-educated women are among the most likely to say children are just as well off if their parents work outside the home.
4Stay-at-home moms are poorer, less educated than working moms: Stay-at-home mothers are younger, poorer and less educated than their working counterparts. For example, 34% of stay-at-home mothers are poor, compared with 12% of working mothers. They are also less likely to be white and more likely to be immigrants.
5The share of stay-at-home moms in poverty has doubled since 1970: While more stay-at-home moms are in poverty — 34% in 2012, compared with 14% in 1970 — those with working husbands generally are better off than those without. But stay-at-home moms with working husbands are not as well off financially as married mothers who work outside the home.
6Home by choice or necessity? Married stay-at-home mothers with working husbands are more likely than single or cohabiting mothers to say caring for family is their primary reason for being home. Single and cohabiting stay-at-home mothers are more likely than married stay-at-home mothers with working husbands to say they are ill or disabled, unable to find a job, or enrolled in school. Overall, a growing share of stay-at-home mothers say they are home because they cannot find a job: 6% in 2012, versus 1% in 2000.
7How stay-at-home and working moms spend their time: Mothers who are not working for pay spend more time, on average, on child care and housework than do working mothers, but they also have more time for leisure and sleep.

9 hours of sleep a night for stay at home mom? I WISH! on avg i get 49 hrs/week of sleep
The sleep statistic really made me laugh! Sixty-three hours of sleep a week, huh? What planet is this on?! I'm tired and would like to move their immediately please. Sixty-three hours of sleep a week, ha! More like thirty hours a week….at the most!
I'm glad I read the comment section and saw that I was not the only one who found this "study" insulting in its slant. Stay at home moms are poor, uneducated immigrants who have all the time in the world for leisure and sleeping. Devaluing motherhood once again. Thanks feminism!
Yeah…I didn't feel too good about this either. All statistics can be presented to show favor to a particular outcome or opinion. This one unfortunately chose to continue encouraging people to let others raise their kids so they can be flush with cash! Guess I will go get back to my bonbons!
63 hours of sleep at night on average for stay at home mom and 58 hours of sleep otherwise? Lol. Gallup says Americans average 6.8 hours of sleep a night…and that would be less than 49 hours of sleep folks. There is no way ANY average sample of say 100 random American woman, working or not, get 58+ hours of sleep a week on average.
The hours breakdown looks pretty bizarre and at best far fetched to me, and it's kind of a useless article anyway because stay at home moms today often spend a few hours, maybe 5 or 10 like another poster pointed out, a week doing some kind of home business or attempt at some kind of work to try to make money. This doesn't address that at all.
I found this article almost comical in its condescending tone.
The article was condescending. The numbers don't suggest anything huge so the article overcompensates with loaded terms such 'uneducated' and 'poor'.
How many families raise children that learn to live off welfare and continue to live off welfare all their lives?
The ones with Stay at Home Moms. So, 29%.
We're not all poor and uneducated. In fact, many of us are smart enough to have learned early on that the whole career-thing is complete BS. The man (or men) who own the company you work for profits from your feminism: you need a career, he gets cheap labor. Real empowerment means saving enough to afford to not have work. Duh. Who WANTS to work. The goal of working is retirement, if it's not-you're doing it wrong. "Careers" are just carrots on sticks that idiots with boring lives chase around. You're never gonna catch it, you'll never be fulfilled by the chase, and your poor little kids spent their days in a daycare facility. A child-care factory. Worst of all, is you paid $$$ for it. Suckers!
Many stay at home moms I know also do something that they can do at nap time, for a couple hours on the weekend before the kids wake up, or during night time after the kids go to bed–they write, book keep, draft legal memos, sell arbonee, scentsy, cabi clothes etc. For all extensive purposes they are stay-at-home moms. They spend their days at the playground, library, pool etc. They handle the bulk of car pooling, feeding and often bedtime. The work they do probably wouldn't exceed 5-10 hours a week. Do these women count in your research as "stay at home" or working? Is there research that separates full time working moms from part time working moms? Because there seems to be more and more of these part timers and very little info about what qualifies as a working mom vs stay at home mom.
Everyone has heard how hard it is to be a stay-at-home mom. What about being a come-home-from-work dad? comehomefromworkdad.wordpress.com #CHFWD
How many stay-at-home moms homeschool?
My husband and I made great economic sacrifices by choice in order for me to stay at home and homeschool our children.
My daughter entered college early and earned a degree early. My son is following in her footsteps.
I've heard that homeschooling is gaining in popularity. I can't fathom attempting to homeschool while working full time, though I've heard that some single moms do it. I'm wondering if the rise in stay-at-home moms is in any way tied to the rise in homeschooling, as the two seem almost inseparable in my experience.
(And that comment about leisure and sleep? Made me laugh! It's nonexistent for homeschool moms.)
I really hate the way this article poses these "7 key findings". Using terms like "poorer" and "uneducated" carry so much stigma. Why not use more accurate terms such as "low-income" and "no post-HS education"? #4 bothered me the most.
Ironically, despite these findings, I – and I am sure many others- seem to snake right through this attempt at statistics. For example, I am a 24 year old married woman with a bachelor's degree working very few hours (2hrs/day 5 days/week). We are somewhat low income- but DECIDEDLY so. Not by any means by necessity. I am an educated "half white half other ethnicity, born in another country and moved here when i was 5″ woman who stays at home because baby needs his momma!
I highly disagree in saying that a stay at home mom has more time for leisure and sleep. I think that should be more clearly defined. Since I have become a parent I have has anytime but time for leisure and sleep. Being a stay at home mom is a 24/7 job, you are never off of the clock.
Furthermore, everybody has their own reasons for a parent staying home or working. Maybe daycare in the area is too expensive? Expense of daycare is more than income? Health issues of child?
Thanks for your last response. I noticed a term for the children "better off" and "well off".
What do those terms mean? Better off than what? Well off? This must be a defined social science term that I didn't read in the document.
Why are fathers who stay at home not added into this mix? One can shop in a supermarket at any time and find just as many men wheeling a cart around with children as women. Also many men work at home and take care of the children while their wife goes to work.
I think there is a big change developing and looking at the "old days patterns" just doesn't cut it anymore. Think: "How many men changed diapers 40 years ago"
I wonder about the demographic of Educated Women, Married, who left the workforce by choice to raise a family. Where is that demographic in your research. We are out there.
With incredibly successful children
The statistic on poverty is frightning. Cohabiting and single mothers about 5 times more likely to be in poverty than married with husband working. Ouch!
How is stay-at-home mom defined?
Can you have a home office and still be considered a stay-at-home mom?
Every family is unique. There are so many factors that determine whether or not a woman works outside the home when the kids are small. Health and behaviour issues of the children, childrens sleep patterns, how much money the father can make, how much stress a person can handle and the list goes on.
I see no reason to research this issue. Everyone should be encouraged to do life the way it makes sense for them and their particular unique circumstances. No one should have to feel guilty about how they do motherhood, as long as the kids are being well looked after.
Are we every going to stop trying to compare moms who stay home or work. They are all valuable to our society as long as they are also taking care of themselves!!
Some mothers have mothers who are happy to do the childcare for no remuneration. How do you factor that group into the equation. Some women have a very sick husband or child so they must stay home. How do you factor that into it.
It's all just so silly to waste time with this research. All it does is make at least one group of women feel badly about themselves.
What happened to embracing women's choice to do motherhood the way it makes sense for themselves and their family?
The only reason it does matter is poverty, that unpaid caregiving work creates economic vulnerability: these women aren't non working women, and any discussion needs to reflect that and put it in context. This matters because women age and grow old, just as children grow up. Women whether working for pay or not are more susceptible to poverty in old age— because workplace and public policies are antiquated. But women shouldn't feel guilty or divided from other women about this- we need to believe it can be different and work together.

Mass change video tags in iTunes 8
Yes, something odd is going on here. I changed the type of a bunch of ripped music videos this morning. iTunes does indeed touch the reclassified files, because both iTunes itself and Time Machine subsequently think they need backing up. So I did an iTunes back-up. I had temporarily to delete a few tracks from the library (while keeping the files) so as not to overflow a single DVD. When I reimported the files (which will get backed up next time), they'd lost their new classification, and were just plain movies again.
A bit more digging suggested that the only reason a back-up of the reclassified files was needed was because they'd been moved out of the library's Movies folder to the relevant album folder. Checking new and old files with AtomicParsley showed none of the tags (atoms) had changed. However, three four-byte sequences in the files have changed: probably timestamps.

Paid parking progresses
Date: May 8, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Although the city is a little behind schedule, it still aims to implement paid parking through much of downtown by October.
Potential vendors were notified this week that they could start bidding on the project. Susan Dodd, the city's parking manager, said she had hoped to put that request out last month, but she's still optimistic the October target can still be met.
The city plans to ask the vendors who respond if it would be better to go with double-headed meters placed every two parking spaces or a pay station that would service several stations.
About 700 parking spaces on Main Street, First Street, State Street, Palm Avenue, Lemon Avenue, Osprey Avenue, Pineapple Avenue, Links Avenue, Ringling Boulevard McAnsh Square and Adams Lane will be converted to metered parking.
Although the City Commission has yet to voice its opinion, Dodd is considering a charge of $1 per hour.
Also still under discussion is whether to allow a grace period in which warning tickets would be issued until residents and tourists are used to the paid-parking system.
One possibility Dodd raised is to issue $1 warning tickets to all first-time offenders. The warning tickets could be issued for a set period of time, such as three months. There could also be a permanent warning-ticket program, because the city can track license plate numbers to see who is a first-time offender and who has already received a warning.

Well I *think* it's famous
It's one where the photographer deliberately broke as many compositional "rules" as possible. The most descriptive thing that I can think of is to say that there's a guy walking down a street, but his head is obscured by a sign.
I was going for that sort of feel with one of mine, and now I have to find the one I'm on about to show my girlfriend. So if anyone knows what I'm waffling about, I'd appreciate the help
sorry, can't help you. But does the rule breaking have to be deliberate ? Otherwise I have a few thousand of my pics that fit the description perfectly. I'm particularly specialized in cropping feet, but if you want, I'm sure I can dig up something with heads cropped off ;o)Last Modified By Dave at 24 Apr 2007 - 7:50 AM
Hahaha. good answer.
If anything unexpectedly works then just say you did it on purpose
Not Friedlander. It was a colour pic. Thanks for trying though

Fifth Annual eCommerce Assessment
Digital in the age of the connected consumer
The U.S. retail industry is experiencing unprecedented change as stagnant growth, coupled with advances in digital technology, continue to shape the way customers shop. As a result, retailers are increasingly challenged to develop an eCommerce experience that will win customer wallet share. However, in a channel-agnostic world, winning online is not just about getting eCommerce right — it is about building a cohesive, consistent and compelling experience across all touch points in the customer journey, both online and offline.
To keep a close watch on what and who is shaping the eCommerce environment, Deloitte performs an annual assessment of the business capabilities of the online channel. By performing this assessment, Deloitte is in a unique position to help retailers examine eCommerce market trends and determine which online capabilities might be ideal for investment. In this report, we evaluate the Top 100 online retailers in terms of revenue as defined by Internet Retailer's "Top 500 Guide" and assess the execution of 140 capabilities (e.g., social integration, decision tools, mobile commerce functionality, personalization, cross-channel inventory) across these sites.
Key findings
- In a nod to the importance of mobile in the shopping journey, Deloitte found that 94 percent of the Top 100 retailers provide mobile-optimized websites and 78 percent offer dedicated mobile apps. A parallel Deloitte study found that mobile influences $593B or 19 percent of all in-store retail sales in the U.S. today.
- As digital technology advances, retailers will want to invest in the right decision tools for their business model, enabling customers to make more informed purchase decisions. These tools (360-degree product views, side-by-side product comparisons, virtual dressing rooms) will help to recreate an environment that more closely mirrors the in-store experience.
- Sophisticated personalization is gaining increasing traction as retailers make big investments in this space. Among the top technology investments planned by retailers for 2014, personalization is the fastest-growing category.
- Retailers are acutely aware of the need to provide inventory visibility and accessibility across channels, with 84 percent of retailers surveyed citing technology to support enterprise-wide inventory visibility "as very valuable."
- Offering free shipping is no longer leading edge, as retailers are upping the shipping game by offering same-day delivery. Deloitte found that 7 percent of retailers surveyed are making waves on this front by providing same-day delivery in select markets and another 12 percent are piloting or planning to rollout same-day delivery soon.
Explore these and other findings by downloading the study.

But this pie was REALLY good. And yes, I did make it and it was one of my better pie crust days. Just sayin'. But I can't take credit for any recipes here. The pecan pie filling recipe is from Fanny Farmer and the crust is my staple from "Baking With Julia". The salty crust and the sweet nut filling are super yummy together.
FLAKY PIE DOUGH (from Baking With Julia)
(makes 4 single crusts or 2 double)
5 1/4 cups pastry flour or all purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 3/4 cup (11 oz) solid vegetable shortening, chilled
1 cup ice water
Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender (or fingers like I do) cut it into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Break up the shortening into small pieces and using the pastry blender (or 2 knives as I sometimes do, I don't like extra gadgets but I don't like using my fingers with the shortening because its too soft) cut into the mixture. When the mix is clumpy and curdy and holds together when a small bit is pressed between your fingers, add the water and mix with a wooden spoon only until its incorporated. Turn dough out onto a work surface and fold over on itself until you can gather it into itself.
Divide and shape into four disks and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Use up to five days in the fridge or freeze for up to a month (ready for Christmas!)
BEST-OF-ALL PECAN PIE (from The Fanny Farmer Cookbook)
Basic pie dough (see above)
3 eggs
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cup pecan halves
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
Line a pie pan with the rolled out dough and set aside (I put it in the fridge so it stays nice and cold). Beat the eggs in a bowl with a whisk until the yolks and whites are blended. Ad the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter and vanilla and blend well. Stir in the pecans, then pour the mixture into the pie shell. Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center quivers slightly. Don't over bake!!!

Yazmene is a caramel-skinned Persian princess with a soft booty, nice stomach and a great pair of tits. She's also the star of her own amateur site where she shows off her hot body and what she is capable of doing with it. Let's take a closer look and see what works and what doesn't work with the site.
Checking out the 10 videos, it's evident that Yazmene enjoys both lesbian and wet and messy fun, sometimes together. One sweet scene features her and her equally attractive friend rubbing each other's naked bodies with warm oatmeal and syrup. Giggling and laughing throughout, it's a joy to watch and perfectly captures her whimsical nature.
There's also masturbation and a bondage scene that has her completely wrapped in plastic and a couple of episodes have her getting some cock. The scenes last 10 to 15 minutes each and can be downloaded as great-quality Windows Media files, along with MP4 and Flash files. You can also stream the movies in an embedded player.
The 10 picture galleries are a decent size, with about 125 low-res images in each set. There are two sizes, but you'll probably go with the largest because it lets you take in more of this lovely Arab hottie. Zip files are included, but only for the larger pics. The photos give you another view of this babe in all her swinging glory with all the other amateurs who also come to play.
The scenes are dated, so we know that nothing new has been added to the site since November of 2003, which is unfortunate, but you can take solace in knowing that a membership includes full access to the entire Chick Pass network of over 150 amateur sites, including Lulu Garcia, Samantha Charles and Maria Maines to name just a few.
There's also a large library of nonexclusive video feeds in a number of categories, including MILF, BBW and teen. You'll find yourself leaning on these extras pretty quickly because there's simply not enough content on Yazmene to keep you satisfied for very long. That bonus network of swinging amateurs does add considerable value to a membership, though.

Punjab drugs haul: Two ministers face the heat (Punjab Newsletter)
Two ministers, one of them a close relative of Shiromani Akali Dal president and Punjab's powerful Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, are facing the heat of their alleged involvement in the multi-million dollar international drugs trade operating from Punjab.
The recent interrogation of drug racket kingpin Jagdish Singh Bhola by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has linked the names of Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia and Jail Minister Swaran Singh Phillaur to the drugs racket. Bhola told his interrogators that Majithia and Phillaur's son, Damanvir Singh, had helped him in the synthetic drugs trade.
Though Majithia and Phillaur have blamed the controversy on political vendetta at the behest of the Congress, the fact that the ED, after the latest disclosures by Bhola, is likely to summon them for questioning has stirred up a new controversy in Punjab.
If the questioning does happen, it's likely to become an embarrassment for the Parkash Singh Badal government.
Majithia is the brother-in-law of Sukhbir Badal, with his sister and Bathinda MP Harsimrat Badal being married to the deputy chief minister. Majithia is also the president of the Youth Akali Dal and is considered one of the most powerful in Punjab's ruling circuit.
In his written statement to the ED, Bhola, a dismissed Punjab Police deputy superintendent of police (DSP) and a former international medal-winning wrestler, claimed that Majithia and Damanvir allegedly helped him procure synthetic chemicals and precursors from owners of pharmaceutical units in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
Bhola, according to the Punjab Police, is the kingpin of the multi-crore racket run from Punjab and with links in several other countries. The Punjab Police, which busted the racket in the last six months, has so far made exposures of over Rs 6,000 crore (Rs.60 billion/$967 million).
Ever since the controversy over Majithia's name came up, the Punjab Police seem to have gone slow on its investigations. With the general elections round the corner, any more disclosures on this front would be highly inconvenient for the Badal government.
In all this, the opposition Congress leaders seem to be having a good time gunning for Majithia and the Badal government. They are unlikely to give up on this controversy - at least not till the general elections are over.

Match Report Infographic – 2012 USPSA Area 1 Championships
I had a wonderful time competing in the USPSA Area 1 Championships in St. George, UT a couple of weeks ago. Phenomenal facility, excellent officiating and a super fun match! I had the opportunity to shoot with a great group of squad mates too. I used new my two-tone Ionbond Smith & Wesson Pro Series 9mm 1911 with custom work by the talented Pete Single with Warren Tactical Sights, Stan Chen mag well, VZ Grips and ASYM 147 gr. ammunition.
Huge congrats to Sara Dunivin on winning the ladies title in the Single Stack Division and to all those who placed in their division, class and special categories. I placed second woman behind Sara in the division and it has been a great motivator to focus more on that front sight!
I usually travel to matches on my own, but I had my family with me for this trip. The highlight of the match for me was when my husband brought my daughter out to the range to watch me shoot for a little bit. It's the first time she's seen me "at work" and I shot my best stage with them there. Munchkin hugs at the range… Yeah. It doesn't get better than that!
Here's my match breakdown by the numbers!

First, congratulations!
So what are you going to do with the first 1911 that Pete Single worked on, the one for which you detailed all his work in the Gun Glam blog? Do you want to sell it? I noticed a few differences in your newer one (it's two-tone, the new slide stop, the ball cuts, he milled more of the slide). What else did he do?
I own a Performance Center Doug Koenig 1911 in .38 Super but I'm really interested in a 9mm 1911 and I am fond of Smith and Wessons. Maybe you could put a good word with the Performance Center to make a 9mm PC1911?
Good luck and have fun at Bianchi!

Seniors want to go home
A story all too familiar -- two seniors who feel they're being held against their will in an elderly care facility.
Just last month an similar couple from Victoria brought legal action against the Vancouver Island Health Authority, after they felt they were unjustly committed to hospital under the mental health act.
Now in Kelowna, Floyd and Chris Nighswonger claim they were placed in an Interior Health facility earlier this year. Floyd had fallen ill and had trouble walking, making it impossible to care for his bedridden wife, who suffered a stroke in 2006.
"I think you can do it now, you can look after me," says Chris, who is referring to her husband's abilities now that he is over his ailment.
Floyd is able to walk again, and says his home in Kelowna is equipped with the necessary equipment to care for his wife.
"She had her stroke in 2006. That adds up to eight years. I've been taking care of her for eight years," he says.
The couple say they haven't been committed to the facility, and once tried to leave, but were stopped.
"We packed everything up and were ready to go home the next morning. And lo and behold, somebody, and we don't know who to this day, cancelled (the taxi)," explains Floyd.
"We've got an apartment, it's a good one, (and) it's paid for. So now we're paying here and we're also keeping things up there, but we haven't been home in a long time."
Floyd told Castanet News that he and his wife have been kept in the facility since March, but Interior Health would not confirm any specifics of the case, citing confidentiality reasons.
However, they do say that they're working on bringing the couple home, but it will take some time.
"I don't have a specific timeframe right now, just know that we are working with the couple. That is to say given the individual circumstances of that couple, we will be working with them to do it as expeditiously as possible," says Bryan Redford with the Interior Health Authority.
IH says it's a complicated situation with many factors involved, including legislation.
"They're in the care facility based on their care needs, their requests, their family's requests, and their care provider's requests," says Redford.
"So it's a combination of things that create that."
While Interior Health is considering other options for the Nighswonger's, red tape seems to be preventing the couple from what they want the most.
"We want to be free and go home," says Floyd.

U.S. federal agencies 'duplicating IT investments,' says gov't report
Summary: The U.S. government said in a report that twelve IT investments were duplicated at three federal agencies, which amounted to $321 million in taxpayer terms.
The U.S. government's accountability office warned that $321 million was wasted on duplicated government IT projects by three federal agencies over the course of the last five years.
The report published last week by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) noted there were, in total:
- two "potentially duplicative investments" at U.S. Homeland Security (DHS) designed to help immigration officials apprehend illegal aliens suspected of committing criminal acts in violation of U.S. immigration law;
- four investments at the U.S. Defense Department (DOD), including two designed to track warfighters' health. Two programs managed dental care, while the one remaining was canceled;
- and six similarly potentially duplicative investments at U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS), including enterprise information security and Medicare coverage determination.
The GAO was tasked with reviewing duplicative IT investments from three of the largest named spenders to determine whether this budgeted money was being spent efficiently.
According to the GAO, the federal government budgets for about $82 billion for IT each year. The accountability office said because this figure is so large, it's important that agencies avoid duplication or creating duplicative systems to maximize the annual investment.
According to the report, the DHS said two of its immigration booking investments were due in part to one of its agencies' having unique requirements. But in one case, DOD officials recognized that one of its programs were duplicative and was later canceled. HHS officials disagreed with the GAO's assertions that its information security investments could have been duplicative, but nonetheless planned to review the programs this September.
In its closing remarks, the GAO was assured the named agencies "are avoiding investing in unnecessary systems and thus saving resources."

well i can't even get my Windows 7 NTFS partition to mount...
10.6: Enable native NTFS read/write support
Do you have Paragon NTFS or NTFS-3G installed? If so get a rid of them, they caused me thousands of problems with the bootcamp partition in Snow Leopard.
10.6: Enable native NTFS read/write support
this past weekend, after being fed up with not being able to see the windows partition, i decided to start from scratch. i should mention that the first Windows 7 Pro disc i had, i downloaded from my school's MSDNAA website and burned the iso directly. this disc, for some reason or another, would freeze upon the "completeling installation..." stage of the install. at the time, i did some research and people were saying that to get past this freeze, one had to delete the partition created by Boot Camp Assistant (BCA) and create a new partition while in the Windows 7 installer. this is where my problem stems from. knowing this, i downloaded another "retail" iso from a bittorrent site just in case my MSDNAA iso was corrupted somehow (since i already had a legitimate key, it didn't matter where the install source came from).

*North Carolina families preferred, surrounding states considered*
Maddy and Zeke are wonderful kids with many endearing qualities. They both enjoy sports, electronics and reading. Zeke is a very helpful young man who loves sports. He wants to be a professional football player when he grows up. He is a social butterfly who loves to spend time with family. Maddy is a funny, charming and smart young lady. Maddy is very outgoing, responsible, and a strong advocate for herself. Maddy loves the television show Pretty Little Liars and vacationing to South Carolina. Maddy and Zeke are loving children that get along well with their friends, at home, and in school.
Maddy does well in school and loves learning. Her favorite subject is Junior ROTC. She is currently preparing to graduate early from high school and looking forward to attending a local college. Maddy would like to be a writer and travel the world. Zeke also does well in school, making A's and B's on his report card. He is well liked by his teachers and peers and plays band and sports for the school.
Zeke and Maddy love each other and their birth family very much. An adoptive home that can adopt them together and accept their connections to their birth family will be ideal. Zeke and Maddy are wary of adoption and will need a forever family who can welcome them into their family unconditionally. Zeke and Maddy need to be made to feel that they are a part of the family not just until they turn 18, but forever.
