WILLIAMSBURG--Winston Churchill once said of his nemesis Clement Atlee, who trounced Britain's World War II leader for prime minister in 1945: "Mr. Atlee carries around his own China closet." The same can be said of GOP candidate Mitt Romney.
Whether it's the press dredging up a story of ferrying his Irish setter Shamus in a car-top dog carrier for 12 hours or his saying that he "liked to be able to fire people"--an allusion to cutting ties with health-insurance companies--the Republican nominee careers from one embarrassing event to another. It's like watching Sacha Baron Cohen's film character Borat stumbling through an antiques shop, knocking heirlooms hither and yon.
Yet Romney may be getting a bad rap for his latest controversial comment made in a private meeting with fat cats. According to a video disseminated by the liberal Mother Jones magazine, he reportedly described about half of Americans as "dependent upon government" and wrote them off as Obama supporters because they perceive themselves as "entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."
While politically incorrect, the challenger for the White House had a point. A medley of factors--a sharp reduction in manufacturing, generally high unemployment, and relaxed qualifications for eligibility for government programs--has exacted a heavy toll on the vaunted American "work ethic."
A case in point is Social Security's Disability Insurance, launched in mid-1956 to provide income supplements to people who are restricted in their ability to be employed because of a notable disability--usually a physical
At the end of 2011, 10.6 million Americans collected SSDI--up from 7.2 million in 2002. Benefits average a little less than $1,000 a month.
Those who deserve help should get it; however, virtually no one ever leaves the plan, and there is no incentive to do so. Indeed, after two years individuals who qualify for disability payments become eligible for Medicare, food stamps, and other entitlements.

- Fantastic experience!fabulousmealVIPDined on 10/28/2014The food, vibe and service were right on! The restaurant was lively but even with all the people not too loud. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- cosmopolitan gemOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/26/2014Only in New York! Inventive and delicious food, served by knowledgeable staff, in classy -- and quiet! -- setting. You can find those things all over the City. But here Middle-Easterners and New Yorkers mingle; you'll see big families with toddlers, and couples on date-night. This is probably the best pan-Middle-Eastern food I've ever had. Try the atayef and veal bacon -- yumyum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced food, slow serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014Went to dinner on Sat night. I've been to quite many middle eastern places and in my opinion this place is overpriced. Good wasn't bad, but not delicious. Wine selection was mediocre. I expected much better quality for the price. Service was slow, though nice. Wouldn't recommend. It's too pricy to just eat and not so good to make an experience.
- Not impressedBelecitaDined on 10/25/2014The food was OK. We ended up in the upstairs floor which is not nearly as nice as the downstairs. We sat next to the floor staff section which was not great. Service was good actually.
- Very enjoyable evening.JaydenDined on 10/25/2014Nice ambiance. Bar area with a bunch of low bench like seats at the entrance and this is where you will/can sit while waiting for your table. The waitress will take your drink order while you wait ($17 for margarita with Patron and $14 for Grey Goose vodka with cranberry. We went with the mixed grill, Phoenician fries, Brussels spouts, falafel and a salad. Just enough for two people to get full. Everything was great. My wife didn't care for the lamb chops, so that was more for me. Add a couple more drinks (Sumac (?) margarita and a couple of 916 pale ales) and the tab came to $192 including tax. If we weren't trying to eat in different restaurants each time we go out for dinner I would definitely come here again. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- favorite midtown spotlovetokibbehDined on 10/21/2014I've gone twice in the last month. I live an hour away upstate NY. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable and always recommend the best. Chef Matthew O'Haver is amazing!! His approach to the desserts is innovative, captures all the senses and delicious beyond measure. We typically go for about 5-6 appetizers and 4-5 desserts so we can all try everything. Among the favorites are the shwarma, kibbeh, atayef and veal bacon, riz....then seriously all the desserts. You can taste the time and dedication into each item and it's fantastic. Among my favorites - candy bar, the pumpkin panna cotta, the sorbet, sweet potato cake. Always a pleasure at Ilili!!Special Features:
- Nice restaurantNessa79Dined on 10/19/2014It was a nice restaurant with some good lounge musik, the food was really nice, it was my first time for libanees food and the service was really good. I recommend trying it once in your life or more...Special Features:

- Better Mediterranean restaurantsRonlDined on 10/18/2014This was my second visit to this restaurant. The first time I was unsure as to whether the waiter was peddling extra food to us. However, the second time with a different waiter confirmed that this was the norm. The food was good and the atmosphere was lively but with increase in available Mediterranean restaurants this would be low down on my list for a return visit.Special Features:
- Simply AmazingjzairickVIPDined on 10/17/2014I come from a family that cooks really good Mediterranean food and this is by far a lot better. Try the hummus, the kibe neye, falafel, duck shwarma, tabboule and the beef dumplings in yogurt soup. You will thank me later.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing !!!!AgemiroDined on 10/17/2014This place is a very nice restaurant and you don't need to like Lebanese food to enjoy it, the food is amazing and Service is outstanding !!!! Great overall experience .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LOVE LOVE LOVE!KarenDined on 10/17/2014This meal was so fantastic. It was my second time visiting and I loved every bite. Great to go with a group (although we were just 3). We ordered a bunch of small plates. Loved the delicious variety. Everything was awesome. My favorite dish was the shrimp salad. Sounds pedestrian, but the greens included mint and parsley and it had some sort of pickled (I think) lemon rind. So YUMMY! There are not many good restaurants in this area. Great when looking for something near Penn Station/Madison Square Garden. I highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The ambience was lively and a little exotic..The food was so fresh and prepared very carefully to be pleasing to the eye. The ingredients were authentic . Angel our server was amazing and gave us excellent customer service..a special experience and great food.Special Features:
- Nice modern Lebanese foodDelishDined on 10/12/2014Food was quite good. Fresh Lebanese bread was delicious. Order the Chankleesh & the Kebab Kerez meatballs. Think the vibe and interiors could have been better, was nice but a little boring compared to some of the other places we dined.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food. Needs some work.anvasquDined on 10/12/2014We requested a change of table when we were being seated; the hostess made us go all the way to the first floor and to the foyer to wait while they finished cleaning it; I am sure it would have taken them 2 minutes to do so. The food was excellent; the service was OK.Special Features:
- Great food and atmosphere!Julia13Dined on 10/12/2014Loved this restaurant. Delicious food in a great environment. Highlights were the brussel sprouts, tabouli, kafka, and hummus. Looking forward to returning.

- A can't miss place for lunchmbb4567Dined on 10/9/2014The blended teas ... the traditional middle eastern foods ... and the outgoing, gracious personalities of the table servers make I Lilli consistently a great choice for lunch. Get the brussel sprouts (no one does them like they do!!) and the lamb and beef meatballs in cherry sauce. Those are can't miss dishes, and I Lilli is a can't miss restaurant!Special Features:
- How to order + eatFiFiEatsDined on 10/6/2014Get a variety of mezzas to share for the table, rather than individual entrees. They offer a wide range of mezzas to choose from.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food and good serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/5/2014waitress was a professional and knew her menu well. Room was a bit noisy and crowded for the occasion of celebrating an intimate birthday dinner with a close friend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service and Quality FoodBetsyDined on 10/4/2014Celebrated my 65th birthday with family (4 adults) and a NYC weekend. Illili was a perfect spot with good eating, inventive and interesting cocktails and very knowledgeable service. April made excellent recommendations, the wine and fluke stood out but all our small plates (10 was sufficient for 4 people) were very good! We are a family that has enjoyed some very good meals at highly renown establishments. For this weekend because of all our other activities, we hoped to find a quality meal at a moderate price. Ilili did not disappoint. It can get noisy but that added to the festivities and it never created a problem for conversation at the table. The decor is attractive and inviting. Overall a wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BewareOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/4/2014The downstairs dining area and lounge have a nice atmosphere. However, they put parties of 2 in a dressed-down upstairs room. The food is OK, service as well.
- Fun, but poor valueTrendseekerVIPDined on 10/3/2014I have been to Ilili many times over the past three-four years and have enjoyed the food and the scene, although it has always been extremely loud. I must now report that the value of the meal no longer justifies the price. $30 for three scallops is not justifiable. The lamb chops were uninspired. The shank so-so. The cocktails were very also weak (ie, little liquor). If you don't care about value, it's acceptable and fun. Otherwise, pass or just have appetizers, which were very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently GoodBillDined on 10/3/2014The food here never disappoints. octopus is always tender, hummus always perfectly seasoned and the flatbread basket was steaming hot when it arrived.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MediocreColinVIPDined on 10/2/2014Second trip to the restaurant. Very underwhelmed this time. Waited super long to be seated for our reservation, took 15 minutes to be served at the bar, and got a very watered down glass of sangria. Food was good, but not worth the price. Waiter was nice, but a terrible wine recommendation...really just tried as hard as possible to push more expensive bottles rather than accommodating our preference. I've never written a negative review before so take that for what you will.Special Features:
- Great Food!!arabellaggDined on 10/2/2014Overall the food was delicious, the plates are a bit small but that is good if you want to try different things. The ambiance was great for having drinks on a date or with a group. The service was excellent. The main room in quite noisy but they also have tables available on the upper floor if you are looking for something more quiet and romantic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014very nice restaurant... good wines and good food!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious food and good servicepeetrhahnDined on 9/27/2014We came for dinner on a Saturday night with a group of seven. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. The restaurant interior is very interesting with beautiful wood work and geometric styling. The service was very good and helped us pick a nice variety of dishes so we could try as much as possible. Everything was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meal. The only ding I would give this place, and this was mentioned by several at our table, was the noise level. It's not club level loud, but there is just a very noticeable din in the entire dining area and it is very difficult to hear, particularly at a larger table like ours.Special Features:
- Great FoodSellingPHLDined on 9/27/2014The food here is great. It's modern Lebanese. You could easily just have a few small plates and be completely happy. But the main dishes are quite nice as well. The waiter service is excellent. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks as well. Where this place fell a bit short was in the reservations and host arena. We made reservations through Open Table for a 6 pm reservation because the next available was 9:15. When we got there at 6, we were one of only 3 tables. Yet they sat us in the back room, not the main room which is much cooler and vibrant. When we left, around 8, about half the tables were full. So 1) why no tables available on OT and 2) why put us in the back room?Special Features:

OFT won't block BBC's über set top box
When Microsoft attempted to nobble an open industry technical standard to its own ends, there was a loud outcry. But what happens when a cartel of broadcasters try to do just that? Perhaps because the BBC is leading the charge, a popular uprising is nowhere to be found. The Office of Fair Trading today confirmed it will not …
I'm not entirely sure I see a problem here
I can completely understand why Sky and Virgin are pissed, but you know what? We all pay for the BBC through our License fee. It is a Government approved monopoly in this country, if they want to be the 'gatekeepers' of content in this country, then that's better than someone who's going to try and screw the customer out of more money.
I know people resent the license fee, but compare it to what Sky/Virgin charge you (keeping in mind the extra you need to pay to get the _good_ content), and tell me it doesn't represent value for money. OK, so you may not like all the programming (I don't) and I'd back you if you called for Strictly Come Sequins to be dropped, but there's a lot of other content available.
Frankly anything that increases the opportunity to access content, without paying through the nose to Branson/Murdoch is a good thing in my view. I'm certainly not willing to pay £30 a month to watch telly that still includes advertising!
Beer, cos I could really really use one!
"We all pay for the BBC through our License fee"
Not for much longer though.
So when Sky and Virgin create totally locked down platforms for content delivery that is all good however when the BBC + others attempt to make a open platform you are screwing a competitor you don't like. Give us a break.
I trust Rupert signs your cheques for this tripe personally.
"So when Sky and Virgin create totally locked down platforms"
I don't have cable, but I know if you really wanted, you could broadcast a channel on the right freq, and Sky people could tune in to it for free via the 'Other channels'. It's just the EPG Sky control, which is, um, exactly what the BBC will control, so your "open platform" is bullshit.
Their is already a standard for this. Sky also do a better job in IPTV (xbox and media center). BT do a lot too. This is classic BBC doing whatever they want rather than co-operate with industry.
Um ...
So if I want to I can broadcast a channel on cable which Sky people can tune in to ...?
Care to explain how i'd go about doing that exactly?
Two words: "Market share"
BBC + ITV + C4 + Five = an Oligopoly.
Do you know what one is? Do you need me to Google it for you?
Good to see some independent journalism El Reg. Some Beebtards would happy with a license fee of £500 a year and no competition at all.
....and this kind of "journalism" has been occurring a lot recently on the Reg, from the same names. It's becoming a fun game to "guess the journalist" each time my eyebrows raise at blatant corporate propaganda. I wonder what a shill has to do before he's rumbled? Brand the editor's wife's forehead with a corporate logo?
£500? Bargain.
I'd happily pay a £500 licence fee if it meant the removal of Murdoch's media outlets in the UK.
Re: indeed
Oh, *do* fuck off.
a cogent and well-reasoned argument
...it's almost as if I insulted *you personally* with my post. ;)
La Moderatrix keeps her cool
I mean if the * * had been around the *off*, you would know she was really annoyed.
Re: indeed
You need to address the cartel question.
This might involve thinking, though.
Re: £500? Bargain.
I'll forward the money for you.
...is it not healthy for there to be a competitor to Murdoch?
This article reads as an anti-BBC rant, when in fact it is a project being undertaken by 7 companies, and is unworthy of The Register IMO.
and people wonder why BBC wanted to nobble other iplayer-esq clones.
Ignoring than the inconvenient facts that the Canvas doc have been submitted to the DTG, and will form part of D-Book 7, to be published by December 2010, the story is spot on!
So, to summarise, the BBC have ignored a standard by submitting to it and being included in it.
Open is closed.
The BBC's possibly ignored several standards, but we don't know for certain because the detailed specifications are secret and under NDA. The DTG is a UK-only defender of our walled garden. OpenIPTV by contrast specs are, well, open and global. But basing a Canvas box on truly open standards may have opened up the market much wider. Can't be having that, UK viewers must be protected by having a UK only device serving up nice, UK approved content in a UK approved manner. If it stays a UK only platform and means fewer devices get made, so less competition and higher prices, well, that's too bad.
Have you ever been abroad ?
If you've ever seen any foreign TV, you'll probably agree that this isnt such a bad thing.
Viewer says yes
You fail to explain why this is a problem to the viewer (and therefore why the BBC trust wouldn't/shouldn't say yes).
All the viewer wants is to view catchup services on their TV without spending lots of money in a easy to use way which is consistent from multiple broadcasters. This appears to be doing exactly that. The viewer also trusts the BBC that they will act in a relatively fair and open manner (accepting teh BBC will do its best to keep the BBC alive - which is what the normal viewer actually wants anyway).
So all we seem to have is an industry group putting forward some standards owned by members in the group to give the viewer what they want. The industry group has a good cross section of competitors and is open to other industry members to join if they want to join the party.
So where is the problem and why should the viewers be concerned or the BBC Trust reject it?
This would be...
The same Virgin Media with the positively stone-age interface on their own set top boxes and the same Sky who "exclusively partnered" with TiVo in 2003 only to sink the product in the UK in favour of their own woeful interface?
Quite frankly, the two of them have set back the UK DVR market years and they need to be put on the naughty step for a bit.
Copyright versus Open Source
Copyright does not in itself automatically exclude open source, it's how that copyrighted stuff is licensed which dictates what can and cannot be done. The real question is exactly what is being dictated and controlled and what is allowed?
I personally don't see a problem with some controls which after all define the essence of a particular product or services - something entirely different isn't that product nor service - and most standards mandate certain compliances.
That doesn't necessarily mean everything is perfect, but lets look at reality and practical aspects not just engage in fearmongering and perceived Big Brother bashing.
The 2nd...
BBC-bashing article from The Reg in as many days? The Corporation is far from perfect but compared with their commercial rivals they do give very good value for money and provide largely ad-free output.
I am at a loss to think of any occasion when the BBC has seriously abused its monopoly position, if only the same could be said of the other large media organisations.
What suggestion is there that the BBC do not intend Canvas to be used as an open standard?
where are the specs?
One obvious suggestion would be lack of specifications. If it's open, why aren't those freely available?
where are the specs?
They're on top of your head, silly.
The iPlayer was good...
...up until the Beeb screwed it up with the whole flash-player-block thing (is there a workaround for that yet? Can I view the content I have already paid for on the player of my choice?)
So long as I can get "a device" and plug that device into my network (or direct to a PC), the device transmits in an open, non_DRM format so I can time shift broadcasts how I see fit, then I am happy.
If the device turns out to be a sack of crap, then I shall just turn to other sources for entertainments. Simples.
Worked when I downloaded "Welcome to Lagos" a few weeks ago.
get_iplayer along with rtmpdump has never stopped working
The BBC doesn't like competition
The BBC lobbied hard against the creation of ITV in the first place.
It hasn't changed.
And the never wanted any television in the first place either, companies change over several decades, who'd of thought
"And now on BBC1 and in HD.. Screwing the licence payer"
But as I understand it, access to the EPG metadata is closed. So manufacturers have to pay a licence/royalty to sell kit that uses it. Which also means the OS community can't develop their own equivalents Please tell me I'm wrong!
The EPG (as Murdoch realised) is where the power (money) lies.
Not digital broadcasting
If the Canvas box is using an Internet connection rather than an aerial then it's not digital broadcasting, non?
As far as I'm concerned the function of Sky and Virgin is to apply pressure to the BBC to innovate and improve. I certainly don't want them to get to anything like an equal footing.
The tuner in a Sky box only supports a limited number of transmission parameters, controlled by Sky. Despite having an "other channels" function, it is not as open as a FTA satellite box.
Canvas is...
an IPTV project. The key partners are BT, BBC, Arquiva and a few others.
All I want...
Is a user interface that I can choose the order of programs I watch. I don't subscribe to the idea of locked EPGs with programs ordered by morons. (or the highest bidder) Wind the clock back and every TV or Video would allow the user to shuffle the channels as he saw fit. This is progress?
thought not.
BBC good or BBC bad?
Yes, that's right, BBC good. Proceed.
Either that, or get rid of the BBC and I'll happily never watch any television again.
@ not digital broadcaasting
Or any sort of broadcasting - so no licence required to watch it.
100% legal freeloading; I like it.

Missing drive letter
I just built a new computer which I am trying to set up identical to two of my present ones. The first terabyte hard drive is divided into 5 partitions, C thru G. Windows 7 is on C and Windows XP is on D. The other three partitions are categorized storage. I also added two more terabyte drives which are supposed to be H & I. Since my CD/DVD rom had assumed "H" in Windows 7, I reassigned the drive letter "J" to it. When I installed what was supposed to be my "H" drive, it showed up as "I". When I attempted to reassign the drive letter "H" to it, "H" is not on the list of available drives, So I tried renaming it to "Q" and then back to see if "H" would show up. It didn't. I went ahead and put the final drive in It was supposed to be "I" drive and indeed it came up correctly as "I" drive. So everything is in order now except for my "H" drive which still remains as "Q" until I can figure out how to make the "H" drive letter become available again. This si important to me since I do regular synchronization between my other computers and the drive letters need to be matched on all of them.
I am not on the new computer right now, but on my last built one which has the same setup. I didn't seem to have any problem on this one since the drive letters are all on order.
I've never had a lick of trouble getting them right on the XP partitions.
What do I need to do to get "H" back on the list of available drive letters?

Look in Disk Mgmt to see what is holding H and release it by renaming to next available letter.
If this fails, cross check with free Partition Wizard bootable CD which is more authoritative than even Disk Mgmt for these purposes. It also has a utility to rename Drive Letter once you find H.

When I was a boy, my parents kept a big map of the country tacked to the wall of our dressing room. The map had pins stuck in all the places our troupe was going to stop that season. Different towns and cities were marked with different color pins. Blue pins meant small towns … which meant small shows, less dangerous tricks. Red pins meant big cities. So, big shows and more dangerous tricks. All the stops were marked red or blue .. except for Gotham City, which was marked by a black pin. According to my father, the black pin meant no holds barred. Pull out all the stops. Bring down the house. It meant put on the biggest, riskiest show of the season. No catch wires. No safety nets. Everyone pushing themselves to the limit. I remember one time when I asked my father why. What made Gotham so special? And my father, he looked down at me and he said … 'Some places just have a hunger about them, son. And you either feed them what they want … or you stay, far, far away.'

has it ever occurred to you that you could change your life right this second if you really wanted to? you could stand up and yell at your teacher if you wanted to, you could place yourself in a life or death situation if you wanted, you could even take that risk and just spontaneously and passionately kiss the one you really love by surprise. you could change the entire outcome of our lives, and if our lives are really as bad as we say they are, why won't we take those chances.

I've written before that the thing I was most excited to see in this game is the Crab People, while playing South Park: the Stick of Truth I've finally gotten to find what I've been looking for since I started playing the game; yes that is the Crab People. There's a point in the game where you are able to enter the sewers and can move on after getting a certain ability that allows you to teleport; in the sewers you make your way through many rats and hobos.
I did all I could do in the sewers, defeated all the hobos and completed the Mr. Hanky side quest where you need to find all of his children. I then made my way out of the sewers and found myself inside some kind of cavern, with glowing mushrooms and jagged spikes everywhere. As I was walking in the cavern I head this sound, this familiar and beautiful chanting from far away.
I got closer and I found out that there was a good reason to why this chant sounded familiar, because I've found myself a member of the ancient race of Crab People. Look back up at the image and you can see that the Crab person is banging on a drum and he's singing their theme song Crab People, check out the video below to hear the song:

Before I recap, Mommy, Happy Birthday. I am now 7 years without you on your birthday. I love you and think of you everyday. Mama, I know you want me to live with joy and hope. I am looking forward. As I do so, I need to look back in remembrance. I have experienced much change.
Loss: In the last half year, I lost my beloved aunts, Noemi, followed shortly by Edith, then 2 weeks ago, Violeta. My mommy is now surrounded by her son, sisters, brother, and parents. She now has her cousin who sheltered her and helped her with life problems especially in her youth and later in life.
Newness: As a reminder of my genetic heritage, I was diagnosed with hip displesia. One that is specific to those of us with new world blood running through our veins. Thankfully, there is a "cure", a new hip. And now I can walk again after 3 years of pain. And the last 6 months with the old hip - running to and from places, the only mobility I had.
Newness included my husband's retirement. I personally have benefited greatly from his retirement. I have wonderful meals when I get home, I rarely do laundry, I have a cat sitter - so don't have to worry about my most senior cat and my youngest cat - and most importantly I have a honey who is stress-free.
Running out of time - will finish later.
Thank you to those of you who comment and, more importantly, encourage. Although, I've had a minor set-back (the PT told me I need to continue to walk with a cane), I had the courage to walk a mountain today. By myself.
Your gentle reminders walked with me up the hill, and stayed with me as I carefully made my way back down on loose stones that I didn't remember seeing on the climb up. You carried me and reminded me to go slowly, steadily, and that I am still in recovery from my first major surgery.
The 5k walk was very difficult, and I'm tired now. But I did it. Thank you.
I've been working hard this past week. I swam harder and more, although I still kept it to 3 days. I added exercise to those given to me by my physical therapist. But it wasn't enough in my book.
So when Randy said he was going out to do his first run since he ran the NYC Marathon, I thought I'd go and try walking with the walking sticks. See how far I could go before I questioned whether I could get back to the car or not.
I was exhausted, but I managed to walk 48 minutes, getting back just as Randy finished his run. I was scared at times, but I did it.
Then I went out today, to see if I could go a little longer, and maybe even try to walk short distances without the aid of the walking sticks.
I did it. I walked for 67 minutes. But when I got back to the car and started doing some stretching, I reacted. I got angry, frustrated. Here I am a distance runner who has not be able to walk for 3 years. WALK!
Oh, before the surgery, I was running. I had to! It was the only way I could get up and down stairs or to work or back to BART. It was the only way to go if I didn't want to feel pain.
Walking for the last three years has been painful. So painful, there were times I could only go about 15 feet before I'd have to stop and think, "Can I go on?" It was scary at best, excruciating at worst.
And now here I am, post-surgery, trying to walk. I used to walk a 12 minute mile! I could walk up to 8 or 10 miles. Now, I'm happy to walk a 24 minute mile, and at the most, as today, a little over 2 miles.
I'm only 59 and today I watched the world walking past me. Running past me. Cycling past me. I had no idea until I sat there, on a bench, across from the car, how frustrated this had left me.
I cried. Openly. I didn't care if people saw me. I was mourning the loss of three years, the loss of my joint. But as frustrated and tearful as I was, I know in my heart, I will continue.
I have the encouragement of my husband, my friends and my SparkPeople friends. What more do I need. Little by little - I will get there!
Goodness, it's tough. I keep trying to be patient with my body. But deep in my head, I keep hearing a voice saying, "Come on already!"
Today, I did more than I was supposed to do at the gym. But I did it within reason. I added some exercises to the ones the PT gave me - but on low weights. I also walked on the treadmill - at a 2.2 mile pace and I went a little over half a mile.
I also swam - 8 laps with no assist, then 6 laps with a buoy and 2 with the kick board.
That was all fine and dandy. But now I'm tired - I started cleaning an area of the house that is long overdue (where my yarn winder is) and I cleaned out the litter boxes and hauled the garbage cans to the curb.
Okay, I know I did too much. I'm definitely just knitting and stretching tomorrow!
Thank you for the suggestions to get the Nordic poles. I realized I needed a bit more support walking up the hills in my neighborhood, so got regular trekking poles. I just got them and tested them out for 30 minutes. Yikes, I'm sweating like crazy and tired from the downhill-uphill workout.
My lower back is still giving me problems - I realize it's just the way my body adjusted to not being able to walk for about 3 years. Running always loosened those muscles with the lift so it was much easier (and less painful). Now I have to reeducate this poor old body! Not an easy task!
Oh and the added plus - using the poles is a great arm workout too! I was so impressed by myself at the gym with my swimming. Yeah, well, goes to show, you can't do just one form of exercise.
I greatly appreciate everyone's helpful hints, suggestions and general support. Your comments remind me of the kindness that is out there and that I am not alone in what I am going through. Thank you, ALL!

Abstract. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) play key roles in atmospheric chemistry, air pollution, and climate. While the largest fraction of these reactive gases is released by anthropogenic emission sources, a significant amount can be attributed to vegetation fires. In this study, NO2 from GOME-2 on board EUMETSAT's MetOp-A and OMI on board NASA's Aura as well as fire radiative power (FRP) from the measurements of MODIS on board NASA's Terra and Aqua are used to derive fire emission rates (FERs) of NOx for different types of vegetation using a simple statistical approach. Monthly means of tropospheric NO2 vertical columns (TVC NO2) have been analyzed for their temporal correlation with the monthly means of FRP for five consecutive years from 2007 to 2011 on a horizontal 1° × 1° grid. The strongest correlation is found to be largely confined to tropical and subtropical regions, which account for more than 80% of yearly burned area on average globally. In these regions, the seasonal variation of fire intensity, expressed by the FRP data, is similar to the pattern of TVC NO2. As chemical models typically require values for the amount of NOx being released as a function of time, we have converted the retrieved TVC NO2 into production rates of NOx from fire (Pf) by assuming a constant lifetime of NOx. The comparison between Pf and NOx emissions from GFEDv3.1 over 5 characteristic biomass burning regions in the tropics and subtropics indicated good agreement. By separating the monthly means of Pf and FRP according to land cover type, FERs of NOx could be derived for different biomes. The estimated FERs for the dominating types of vegetation burned are lowest for open shrublands and savannas (0.28–1.03 g NOx s−1 MW−1) and highest for croplands and woody savannas (0.82–1.56 g NOx s−1 MW−1). This analysis demonstrates clearly that there are biome-specific, diurnal, and regional differences in FERs for the dominating types of vegetation burned in the tropics and subtropics. Possible factors affecting the magnitude of the obtained values are discussed.

Unless you find it on sale, this likable Philips LED can't quite offer the value of its competitors.
This LED puts out a lot of light from not a lot of power.
At $13, the flat-topped Philips SlimStyle BR30 LED is one of the most affordable LED floodlights on the market -- but how'd it do in our tests?
Yep, that's a light bulb -- and it's surprisingly well-rounded.
We tested this bulb to see if it's a better buy than GE or Cree
The Philips Blu-ray Surround Base HTB3525B offers a compelling combination of useful features and appropriate performance at a bargain price.
With excellent dimmer compatibility and an extra hit of brightness over most other 60W replacements, this bulb looks like a solid choice to us.
Theres a lot to like about this LED - especially if you like the lights down low.

First Asteroid Discovered At Uranus's Leading Trojan Point
Soulskill posted about a year ago | from the set-course-for-the-tilted-planet dept.90
LeadSongDog writes "Space.com is reporting on a 60km comet-like body in Lagrangian orbit around the Sun, locked to Uranus's leading Trojan Point. This means a distant, but fairly accessible supply of water-ice, hence: reaction mass, hydrogen and oxygen for robotic miners if we can just get them there with an energy source. 'The sun and Earth have two Trojan points, one leading ahead of Earth, known as the L-4 point of the system, and one trailing behind, its L-5 point. The sun and other planets have Lagrangian points also, with asteroids seen at those the sun shares with Jupiter, Neptune and Mars. Scientists thought the Trojan points of Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun, were too unstable to host asteroids."

Current version : 2.50
Hello everyone,
Today, I release the 2.00 CCAPI update, it should fix lots of bugs.
- Memory use has been reduced
- Boot time has been reduced too, at the first load it's about 20 sec, then for next boot it's now instant.
- Shoud be compatible with more fimwares now.
- DLL is now released, you can now make your own ccapi programs.
If you want to make your own program in C#, you must use iMCSx's PS3Lib, you can read his tutorial here:
Since I haven't seen lots of C++ users, if you want to make your program in C++, you can contact me. I will tell you how.
ControlConsoleAPI is an API for PS3 and PC similar to TMAPI on DEX console.
But this one "CCAPI" works for CEX and DEX.
It will give you those features :
- Compatible CEX/DEX/SEX/(TOOL ?)
- Debug non-fself & fself in real time (vsh.self for example can be debugged in rte, or any game with non debug eboot)
- Debug kernel in real time(lv2_kernel.self and lv1.self)
*Classic functions (RTE on CEX + DEX):
-work with Wireless connection
- bypass exec pages writing restriction
- bypass lv2 memory protection
*new fonctionalities like:
- peek/poke lv1 and lv2
- setConsoleID at anytime/anywhere
- setConsoleLed
- ringBuzzer
- getTemperature
- VSH module loading
- notify
Compatible firmwares:
CFW 4.21,4.30,4.40,4.41,4.46,4.50,4.53,4.55 CEX or DEX
Not compatible with "Cobra" firmwares.
VSH module loading:
- create a directory in your /dev_usb000/ called plugins
and put all your sprx plugins into, it should be
All of the sprx that are present in this folder, will be loaded at ps3 boot.
Important: If some games refuse to work, just don't use plugins (delete plugins folder from /dev_usb000)
How to install CCAPI?
Just download and run this pkg on your ps3.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
It will tell you to reboot, and it's done. You only need to do this once.
How to uninstall CCAPI?
Just run again the pkg.
Is it risky?
No, in the worst case, you could need to reinstall your firmware.
Console Manager:
Add consoles (name/ip) usable in all ccapi tools
A CCAPI Debugger still in developpement:
iMCSx, flukes1
Some examples:
MW2 Reborn fully work on CEX and DEX (even with non fself eboot)
Please give me some feedbacks, i would like to know if you get some bugs or not.
It is still in BETA, so some bugs can occur.
Virus scan:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
- 2.50
Added 4.53/4.55 support
Added a console list
- 2.00
Reduced memory use
DLL (C++ / C#) released to build programs for ccapi
- 1.00
Original version
How to convert a 2.00 tool -> 2.50 tool
1) Delete any CCAPI.dll in the same folder than the software
2) Put the PS3Lib 4.3 in the same folder than the software
3) Use the installer to install CCAPI 2.50 on your PC (you may need to reboot your pc at the end)
4) Install the CCAPI 2.50 pkg on your PS3
If you still don't understand how to install it, you can follow this tutorial :

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Below you'll find a list, in alphabetical order, of every album I listened to in 2012. Here, "listened to" means all the way through at least 3 times. I kept track all year so I could do this and because I thought it'd be interesting. I'm not as ambitious as (read: I'm more lazy than) TWG is, so my list isn't ranked. I think I can honestly say none of these are complete duds.
These lists are so much fun for us, and I hope you loyal ~~D//S~~ readers enjoy them.
See you in 2013,
After the jump, you'll find my full rankings of all of the 126 new albums that I listened to this year. (By "listened to" I mean that I listened to each of them at least three times.) Before you look at this and find your favorite album of the year in the 80's, I'd like to say that the vast majority of these albums have something good to offer and are worth listening to. I would in fact say that most anything before the 110's is worth giving a spin if you like the genre, artist, cover art, etc.
Finally, on behalf of everyone here at Dolphin/Shark, I'd like to thank you all for sticking with us this year. It really means the world to us.
Thanks again,

Mike McCoy shared some of his thoughts from last season and he shared that he should have gotten Ladarius Green more involved in the offense earlier in the season. Here is what McCoy had to say per CBS Sports:
"What happened with him last year he made the most of his opportunities," McCoy said. "Early in the year, they were limited. As time went along, and as an offense, you always evolve to what your players do best. Being together for the first time, there were some things we were still learning about our team. It takes time. And Ladarius made the most of his opportunities. When he was in at the right time, he was continuing to make plays. You wish you would have done that a little earlier."
Green is a mismatch on the field with his combination of speed and size. He is too big for corners to cover and too fast for linebackers to lock down. He can give defenses fits when he is on the field.
It sounds like Mike McCoy will get him the ball more in the coming season. The Chargers could see a lot of action with two tight end sets. The running game will be a staple for the team with Ryan Mathews and Donald Brown on the roster. The team could run with Antonio Gates and Ladarius Green on the field a lot and get them opportunities down the field. We could see a play action pass somewhere in the game plan this coming season.
McCoy is barely scratching the surface with Ladarius Green. The coming season, McCoy will need to tap into the potential with his young tight end. Getting Green more reps on offense will be sweet.

I took a friend who'd been fired recently over to Legal Grounds in Lakewood for some coffee and legal advice, but once we settled into easy chairs with cups of Colombian and a cookie, unemployment didn't look so bad. Certainly, it seemed better than trying to write about another coffee house, when there's more than one on every corner. There are almost as many coffee shops as there are lawyers, but Legal Grounds is the only place you can get both: Besides the on-duty attorney, there is a library of law books and a number of do-it-yourself kits for little affairs like divorces, which anyone can pull off with only a little practice.
