I'll answer that one, since I recall checking one out at Best Buy: Clunky. Dreary-looking. Foolish and wasted use of Wi-Fi for silly "squirting" feature. Mediocre control mechanism. Reportedly (IIRC) the Zune software on PCs was initially pretty flaky, and needed a lot of work. There was about no reason at all to buy one instead of an iPod - the bestselling model at the time was the nano; around the same time of the Zune's intro, Apple released the sleek aluminum-clad second-generation model in a variety of shiny colors. Just no contest.
edit: dug up a Engadget review, if you want to go down memory lane. They compare it to the high-capacity iPod in the pictures, but the true competition was this.

Man, I always wonder why people give Zune such a hard time. Years before NFC would become a thing, Microsoft had a way that you could share content from one device to another if they were in proximity, without having to actually know how to set up an ad-hoc connection. It was relatively simple, and let you give people songs that they wanted to listen to, and they could listen up to three times before it asked you to buy it. Hell, I'd take that feature NOW, on any service. Rather than having to use Soundhound to find what song it is, or write it down, you could just, you know, get the damn song and listen to it right then and there, and then buy it. "Squirting" was a really, really stupid name for sharing content. I'd still do that TODAY, on my phone, if it existed. With NFC, it'd be really, really easy to do. Microsoft was about 5 years ahead of the times, from where I stand.
The Zune desktop software was weak sauce at first, but within the first year it became what it is today-- still my second-favorite desktop media software. The style of it was much cleaner than iTunes, it was easier to find artist information, and it had smart playlists before iTunes IIRC. It was, quite simply, easier than iTunes at managing playlists and finding content. Oh, and the screensaver, displaying artist info, covers from all your music, and live updating information on the numbers of times that album/band/song had been played, was beautiful. If Spotify hadn't come around, I'd still be using Zune as my default player.
Zune also had the idea of Zune Pass-- a music subscription service that netted you unlimited plays of songs you didn't own, that let you download those songs for offline playing alongside the music you already owned, and also gave you 10 songs a month that you could pick and own. It also had a radio mode that let you select a song, album, artist, or playlist and made a playlist of similar songs, including ones you owned and didn't owned. This was 3-4 years before Spotify.
The problem was yes, it was late. And by the time Microsoft got out the ZuneHD (which was actually one of the nicest-looking MP3 players, IMHO), they were behind on the metric that mattered: apps. But there were also features about Zune that people want to shit on, but were actually quite ahead of their time (I wonder if people will insult the Zune for having a radio if Apple lets their devices access the radio).
Microsoft, more than anything else, suffers from a serious lack of "cool". Even when they're ahead of the pack, people don't recognize it. In part, it's because of their marketing. Nobody will ever, ever "squirt" something. That doesn't make the actual action of sending someone a usage-limited track is a bad idea. (Also, if the "squircle" was such a bad idea, why did Apple patent it for all their app icons? note: just kidding, relax). Microsoft might miss the boat sometimes, but the reality is that the products are often judged on sales, not on the ideas.
Zune actually had a lot going for it. Not as much as the iPod touch, mind you, but Zune did have a lot of good ideas. And it was the first taste of metro, which is a visual style I very much do enjoy.

If I set up a bike with:
- 10-speed tiagra shifters
- 10-speed dura ace read derailleur
- 9-speed 105 front derailleur
Will it cause problems if I use components from different series? (All of these are from within the past year or two.)
If I set up a bike with:
Will it cause problems if I use components from different series? (All of these are from within the past year or two.)
While I have occasionally used a 9 speed front derailleur with a 10 speed drivetrain as an emergency fix, it shouldn't be used for a permanent set up. Your shifting performance will suffer, even if they are both double or both triple components.
In addition, the year and model of the Dura Ace components matters. The 7900 STI levers, which are current Dura Ace, have compatibility issues with the 7800 front derailleur of just 2 years ago, even though Shimano says they are fully compatible.
I've added scans of the Shimano 2012 Compatibility charts for front and rear drive train components. You will notice that no 9 speed part is listed as compatible with any 10 speed part, but that even the new 4600 Tiagra 10-speed is listed as compatible with all 10 speed components.
I hope that helps.
Shimano Front Derailleur Compatibility Chart
Shimano Rear Derailleur Compatibility Chart
Yes, you can mix components from different series (you see many bikes with a mix of component level).
BUT, you cannot mix 9/10 speed, do not use a 10 speed sti shifter with 9 speed derailleur. Additionally, check your front shifter to see if was made for double or triple chainring and make sure your front derailleur will work with the number of chain rings you are going to run.
9 and 10 speed are pretty close in width, so you should be OK to mix 10 speed shifters with a 9 speed frount derailleur ( I have several bikes set up like that ). Just make sure the limit screws are set up correctly so the chain does not fall off. At the rear you need to make sure that cable pull is compatible. I'm not to sure about your situation because Dura-ace has at times used a different cable pull to other shimano derailleurs

GENESEO, N.Y. - The Geneseo Tremont Quartet with guest pianist Jonathan Gonder, chair of the Department of Music, will present its Fall Concert on Nov. 11 at 3 p.m. in Wadsworth Auditorium. The concert is free and open to the public and will feature "Serenade in C major, Opus 10" by Dohnányi and "Piano Quartet No. 1 in C minor, Opus 15" by Fauré.
The scintillating piece by Dohnányi is a five-movement trio and one of the outstanding works of the string trio repertory.
"Dohnányi's music always showed touches of his affinity for Mozart and Schubert, but the shifting chromatic tonality of the serenade is firmly of the 20th century," said Tremont Quartet founder and Geneseo faculty member James Kirkwood. "Fauré also had a very distinct musical personality that evolved a most distinctive school of French art at the end of the 19th century."

Is woot! Enduring Holidays just another way to sell?
When I first saw the new woot! tab I thought it was just another way to sell more crap for the holidays. But after further investigation I have to say the page is done right. The deals are there and it is written well.
Thanks woot! and happy holidays!
Wootbot Says: Who needs a Beverly D'Angelo striptease when you've got the sex appeal of Randy Quaid?
3 Answers answer
Of course it is. But it is fun anyway.
Of course. Why else would they bother?
I think its getting out of hand. I like a good deal as much as the next but Woot is turning into another online store, like that one named after that South American river...Woot should change its name to Xingu or Putumayo.

ILWU must get real
July 20, 2010 - LM Editorial
As noted in our news section last week by my colleague, Jeff Berman, the Ports of Los Angles and Long Beach are back on track to handle Peak Season volumes once again. But Southern California shippers will be keeping an eye on how labor/management negotiations are going before committing to any long-term strategies at these key ocean cargo gateways.
Office clerical workers and waterfront employers will resume their talks tomorrow. And while both sides report that some progress was made over the past weekend, a new contract may still be a distant goal.
Which begs the question: why would handsomely-compensated office workers walk off a job in today's fragile economy? They also tried to place pickets at several terminals to keep dockworkers from doing the heavy lifting, but a local court ruling put an end to that.
The Office Clerical Unit of International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 may be right in objecting to some outsourcing of information technology, but its resistance to embracing new market realities will only undermine its future.

Tolkien Not All Those Who Wander are Lost Poster - 13x19 for $3.80
Shipping is $3.98 for the first item and .99 for each additional item.
4 Comments add a comment
Domestic shipping is $3.98. So it's &7.78 total. Still not bad, though.
If you buy any other posters, their shipping is only $0.99. They have a lot of great posters, some as low as $0.01. If you add one of those the shipping per each goes down. They deliver very quickly, good quality.
Are these posters on paper stock; or cardboard?
@mjonczak: Our posters are on paper stock unless otherwise noted on the product page.

Warehouse and Distribution Centers: London drugs cures its picking ills
Prior to voice picking, pickers used to have to wait for the Data Centre to print and manually split thousands of labels into the various pick sections then physically deliver the labels to pickers. Now, pickers can immediately start picking.
January 14, 2011 - LM Editorial
For every company adding voice to its operation for the first time, Bob Heaney, senior research analyst for research firm Aberdeen Group, reports that there are four to five companies already using voice for picking that are planning to roll it out to new areas such as replenishment and putaway.
For voice providers, there's even better news. David Krebs, senior director specializing in mobile and wireless for VDC Research, sees the voice market performing well as we roll into 2011. Though he attributes much of this growth to "pent-up demand among existing users for upgrades and expansions," he sees an increasing share of the market driven by opportunities in emerging and underpenetrated regional and country markets, specifically in Europe and Asia.
This expansion into other workflows and penetration into global markets is further testament of voice technology's positive impact on warehouse operations and overall accuracy improvements. Because of its hands-and-eyes-free operation, Krebs points out that picking productivity with voice typically improves by 20 percent or more. "Order picking accuracy of well-designed and deployed voice solutions typically reaches, if not exceeds, one error per thousand picks (99.9 percent accuracy), says Krebs."

The actress sat down recently in Miami with Radio One's T.T. Torrez to tell her side of the story of Dwyane Wade's ugly and bitter divorce from Siohvaughn Funches. In fact, she details how it affected her career negatively.
Before the couple started dating, Wade was going through a divorce with Siohvaughn Wade.
From that point, Union was labeled a homewrecker and "the other woman". Despite those accusations not being true, she still faced backlash that she says affected her career.

My fixed gear bike is going to want a new chain soon, how do I figure out which width I should use?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There two sizes of chains that can be used on a fixed wheel bicycle 1/8" and 3/32". It all depends on the width of the teeth on the cog and the chain ring. The most common one is 1/8" as that is what is used on the track and BMX. On bikes that have been converted from gears to fix are more likely to be 3/32". My Son's bike has a 3/32" cog, chain ring and chain.
Get a pair of calipers and measure the width of both the chainring and the cog. If the width is much larger than 3/32" then use 1/8".
If you don't have calipers, but have a piece of 1/8" chain, then put the chain on the cog and the chainring and see if there is a large visible gap between the plates of the chain and the teeth, if so then can probably use a 3/32" chain, if it's pretty snug you probably need a 1/8" chain. If you have a 3/32" chain instead, then put it on both cog and chainring, if the teeth fit through the holes in the chain and the chain rests evenly on the cogs, you're probably fine with a 3/32" chain, if it sits unevenly at all, you probably need 1/8".
If you don't have a chain, then you could check for width markings on your chainrings and fixed cog, if they are single speed chainrings they tend to have a width marking on them (to distinguish between 1/8" and 3/32" sizes).
Keep in mind, If either the rear cog or front chainring is larger than the other in width, you need a larger 1/8" chain (which really won't run poorly on a smaller chainring, but a smaller 3/32" chain just won't fit on a 1/8" cog or chainring).
Also, If you're buying a 3/32" chain, you'll probably find that as a 6/7/8 speed chain at most bike shops. You probably don't want to try to use a 9 or 10 speed chain on a single speed bike. 1/8" chains are used exclusively for single speed setups.

Football games were never meant to be watched without food within easy reach. The big stuff is brought out at halftime, like brats and hot potato salad.
But for nibbling during the sometimes nerve- wracking quarters, dips with a variety of "dippers" can hit the spot.
The chosen dip can be healthy, indulgent, sweet or savory. Your choice. Or make one of each. They are easy to do and most involve no baking or cooking.
Article Photos
READY, SET, DIP — A Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball was made by the Lucky Leaf 4-H Club in competition at the 4-H Iron Chef Contest back in March. Dips are popular right now, with football season in full swing. The chocolate chip cheese ball earned a first-place award and should win a first place with your taste buds as well. -- Esther McCoy
The Lucky Leaf Livestock 4-H Club made this dessert-type cheese ball that looks attractive and tastes even better. Either roll the ball in chopped pecans or add them to the ingredients and put the ball in an attractive pottery-type colorful bowl like the 4-H members did.
Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 cup miniature chocolate chips
1 cup Heath English toffee bits
1 cup chopped pecans
Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate chips and Heath bits. Either add the pecans to the mixture and shape into a ball and refrigerate or shape into a ball and roll in pecans. Then refrigerate until time to serve with vanilla wafers, chocolate animal crackers, graham crackers or sweet pretzels.
Here are some recipes from a wonderful cookbook called "Kitchen Keepsakes" that I received for Christmas from Mary Koos back in 2002. If low-fat mayo is used, this is quite healthy.
Curry Dip for Raw Vegetables
1 pint mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons onion juice
2 teaspoons vinegar
2 teaspoons horseradish
Assorted raw vegetables
Mix ingredients well and serve with assorted raw veggies. Makes 2 cups.
Dilled Crab Dip
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
2 green onions, minced
1 beef bouillon cube, crushed
1 teaspoon hot sauce
7-ounce can crabmeat, rinsed, drained and separated
Assorted fresh vegetables
Beat cream cheese in medium-size bowl until light. Beat in mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir in remaining ingredients, except for fresh vegetables. Refrigerate, covered for several hours to blend flavors. Serve with fresh vegetables. Makes 2 cups.
Sombrero Spread
16-ounce can refried beans
Package taco seasoning
4 tablespoons picante sauce
7-ounce can green chilies, chopped
8 ounces sour cream
Black olives, chopped
Chopped green onions, tomatoes and lettuce
Grated cheddar cheese.
Mix refried beans with taco seasoning. Layer ingredients on a dinner plate or a ceramic pie plate, beginning with beans, then picante sauce, chilies, guacamole, sour cream and black olives. Top with chopped green onions, lettuce, tomato and grated cheese. Serve with tortilla chips.
Good and Easy Guacamole
2 ripe avocados, peeled and mashed
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
Add sour cream to mashed avocado and taco seasoning. Mix well. Serve with tortilla chips. Makes 1 cup.
Here are some dips that require baking until the ingredients are hot and bubbly.
Creamy Artichoke Cheese Dip
Two 4-ounce cans artichoke hearts, partially drained
Two 7-ounce cans green chilies, diced
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Combine ingredients and pour into a baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Serve warm with party rye rounds or club crackers. Cooking blends the flavors just right, according to the cookbook editor. Makes 3 cups.
This is an oldie but goodie recipe.
Chili Con Queso
1/2 pound Velveeta cheese
1/2 pound Old English cheese
1 medium onion, chopped
10-ounce can Ro-Tel tomatoes
Mix all ingredients and cook in top of double boiler for about 1 1/2 hours. Serve in a chafing dish or fondue pot to keep warm. Serve with tortilla or corn chips. Makes 3 cups.
This recipe calls for baking the dip on party rye rounds.
Swiss Ryes
1/2 cup bacon, fried and crumbled
1 cup Swiss cheese, grated
4 1/2-ounce can ripe olives, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Party rye bread rounds
Combine all ingredients except for the rye bread rounds. Mix well and spread on between 25 and 30 rye rounds. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until bubbly and browned.
Here is a sweet and sassy dip that is wonderful with fresh fruit.
Fresh Fruit Dip
12 macaroons, crushed
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 pint sour cream
Large pineapple
Crush macaroons to fine crumbs and combine with brown sugar and sour cream. Chill several hours to soften macaroon crumbs. Hollow out center of pineapple to make a serving dish. Fill shell with macaroon dip. Place in center of a large platter and arrange fresh fruits, such as strawberries, cut melon squares, bananas dipped in orange juice or grapes, around the pineapple.
This will made an excellent dip for the month of October. The taste is reminiscent of a candied, caramel apple on a stick.
Caramel Apple Dip
5 to 6 apples cut into wedges
14-ounce bag of creamy caramels
8-ounce package miniature marshmallows
2/3 cup cream or milk
Melt caramels and combine with marshmallows and cream. Stir until smooth. Pour into fondue pot. Dip apple sections, placed on a skewer stick or on a fork, into the hot caramel mixture and enjoy. Watch not to get burned or have it drip on the tablecloth.

Your Story is Important
4 comments:
Happy to find your blog! Good luck writing for two! :-) I have trouble keeping one blog going! LOL!ReplyDelete
I'm going to read the article from Ancestry you've posted about. I've never written anything about myself and you're right, I may have g-grandkids some day that might be interested!
Love your work!
Cindy (Genealogy Circle)
Thanks Cindy! I keep telling myself that the quality of my writing really won't matter much. They will love it anyway. Now I just need to take my own advice!ReplyDelete
You have a great blog...what a gorgeous header! I am your newest follower.ReplyDelete
Anyhow, several years ago, I learned the truth about writing things down, so I have been keeping a family journal since about 2003. My real intent was to have a record of the things we so easily forget. After all, life is made up of simple, everyday moments. I mean, most of life is not lived on a vacation or doing anything grandiose, so we need to record those "simple" things so as not to forget them.
Fast forward to 2011...I have gotten into genealogy, and I am wishing I had started journaling 30 years ago...and I am wishing my ancestors had journaled and tht I discovered one of their journals. I would LOVE that, so that is what keeps me faithful to continuing to journal myself...the knowledge that future generations will want to read about my "ordinary" life, just as I want to know more about my ancestors' "ordinary" lives.
Sorry for the rambling comment.
Thanks Patti. I am so bad about journaling consistently. But I'm trying to do better. Its so important.ReplyDelete

Politicians adapting to a tragedy
More treatment for mental illness is the most pious appeal resulting from the Dec. 14 Newtown school massacre. But as with the appeals for more restrictions on guns — outlawing scary-looking rifles and large-capacity magazines, prohibitively taxing ammunition, requiring background checks for gun purchasers — there is little relevance to what actually happened in Newtown. The massacre is just being adapted to long-standing political agendas.
Even as more treatment for mental illness is being sought because the massacre's perpetrator appears to have been a severely withdrawn young man, the mentally ill and their caregivers are warning against stigmatizing them, since few mentally ill people are dangerous, perhaps proportionately no more dangerous than the general population, most murders being committed by people who qualify as sane.

- Binding: Paperback
- Era: General
- Number of Pages: 400
- Subject: U.S. Marine Corps
- Date Available: January 2003
Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
The fourth edition of Brig. Gen. Edwin H. Simmons's popular history of the U.S. Marine Corps has been updated and revised. It reflects the latest scholarship on events reaching back to the Corps's beginnings in November 1775, when the Second Continental Congress authorized two battalions of American Marines, to 2001. As updated, it includes material on the tumultuous events of the last quarter-century in Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf, Bangladesh, Somalia, and Haiti.
With a foreword by Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Jones, the book provides a lively chronicle of the Corps's participation in all the nation's wars, from the American Revolution to Desert Storm. Highlights of the work are the Marines' legendary contributions at such places as Bladensburg, Guantanamo, Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Inchon, Chosin, Hue, and Khe Sanh. While the focus of this history is on the big wars, it never slights events in between, among them the humanitarian missions that have helped define the Corps. Nor does the author neglect the intermittent but never-ending fight for the Corps's survival at home where it faces periodic challenges from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and on occasion, unfriendly presidents. Few writers know the subject as intimately as General Simmons, who writes from firsthand experience in three wars and as the longtime head of the Corps's history division.
Edwin Howard Simmons, a retired Marine Corps brigadier general, served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam at every level of command and as director of Marine Corps history and museums for twenty-five years. He is the award-winning author of numerous books, including Dog Company Six and Through the Wheat.

High among the branches of pines in southeast Georgia, the lifeless eyes of strategically placed swallow-tailed kite decoys stare at the world, eyeing platforms for artificial nests that biologists hope will soon lure the state-listed kites.
Based on research on establishing post-breeding roosts in Florida, Tim Keyes of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources thinks the decoys and platforms may attract swallow-tailed kites to nest on state lands.
Most kite nests in Georgia have been recorded on private lands.
"While we have had excellent working relationships with many private land owners, we have also lost some important nesting habitat on private lands," said Keyes, a wildlife biologist with the DNR's Nongame Conservation Section. "The goal of this project is to determine whether we can establish nesting sites on state lands where we can actively protect and manage for them."
Keyes and tree climbers from Avian Research and Conservation Institute, or ARCI, carefully picked five sites, then added nest platforms and mounted three decoys for each site in nearby trees. The decoys are actually repainted crow decoys with the kites' distinguishing scissor-like tails added.
Artificial nesting platforms have been used only once before in Georgia, and with limited success. In 2008, one nest was recorded at an artificial nest site.
"Kites appear to have plenty of suitable habitat along the lower reaches of our large rivers, but they seem reluctant to expand into new areas, often using the same nesting clusters year after year," Keyes said.
"Based on their social nature (the birds nest in small clusters of two to three pairs), we hope to attract birds to new nesting sites with the decoys."
Swallow-tailed kites breed between late March and July, so the season is in full swing and 29 nests have been confirmed. Most of these nests were spotted during surveys by helicopter. Researchers will survey nests from the ground and air, monitoring sites and nesting success, twice a week through the nesting season.
Although the swallow-tailed kite has no federal status under the Endangered Species Act, it is listed as rare in Georgia. Populations appear stable but not increasing, with about 1,200 breeding pairs in the U.S. Approximately 100 pairs breed in Georgia.
"After fledging, kites form post-breeding groups which are important to document for population estimates. In Florida, these groups can be as large as 2,000 birds, but the largest roost found in Georgia was 100 birds, with 15 to 30 birds more typical," Keyes explained.
"Here in Georgia we see smaller groups and they move around from one day to the next, maybe 100 birds but usually more like 20 to 30 birds, and we don't know why. There is still a lot we don't know about these birds."
Once these roosts break up, the kites start their arduous southbound migration to southern Brazil.
The best places to see a swallow-tailed kite in Georgia are near any of the large rivers in the lower Coastal Plain, such as the Satilla, Altamaha, Ogeechee or Savannah. One of the best times to see the birds is in late summer when they regularly feed over open fields with Mississippi kites, and often ranging well into the Piedmont region.
Georgians can help conserve swallow-tailed kites and other animals not legally hunted, fished for or trapped, as well as native plants and habitats, through buying wildlife license plates featuring a bald eagle or a ruby-throated hummingbird. They can also donate to the Georgia Wildlife Conservation Fund state income tax checkoff. Both programs are vital to the Nongame Conservation Section, which receives no state funds.
Visit www.georgiawildlife.com for more information, or call Nongame Conservation offices in Social Circle (770-761-3035), Forsyth (478-994-1438) or Brunswick (912-264-7218).

WHEELING - Penn Kurtz and the Wheeling Central girls' basketball team now have a decades worth of Upper Ohio Valley Tournament championships under their belt as the Maroon Knights thumped Madonna, 55-22, Saturday evening to make it 10 in a row.
"Every group makes it a different experience," Kurtz, who won his first title in 2003, said. "This is a great group of young ladies to coach. They're fun to be around. They work really well as a team. Everyone has their own personalities."
Central (9-1) advanced to the championship game with a 53-39 victory against Bishop Donahue on Friday night, but the final score didn't reveal how close the contest really was, something Kurtz wanted to avoid Saturday at Wheeling Jesuits' McDonough Center.
"We wanted to get off to a good start," he said. "We felt like we could pressure their guards, force some turnovers, get some easy baskets in transition, and not let them set up in their half-court defense. I thought we were pretty successful with that."
The Knights jumped out to a 6-0 lead, stretched that margin to 10 before the end of the first period and the rout was on.
A Delaney Denniston 3-pointer made it 19-4 with a little more than three minuets left in the first half as the Blue Dons (3-6) trailed 25-6 heading into halftime.
Fact Box
Upper Ohio Valley Tournament
Wheeling Central 55, Madonna 22
Wheeling Central 14 11 18 12 - 55
Madonna 4 2 13 3 - 22
WC: Olson 1 0-0 2; McCormick 5 0-0 11; Ryan 1 0-0 2; Denniston 4 4-6 14; Bennington 1 0-0 2; Michaels 1 0-0 2; Basinger 4 3-3 11; Bucon 3 3-4 9; Cross 0 2-2 2. Totals: 20 10-13 55.
MADONNA: Rosso 3 0-0 7; Sellitti 1 0-0 3; Platek 1 0-0 2; Davis 2 2-2 6; Bragg 0 3-4 3. Totals: 7 5-6 22.
3-Point Goals: Denniston 2, McCormick; Sellitti.
Madonna seemed to come out of the locker room with a little momentum as Nicolette Sellitti hit a 3 on the first possesion of the second half, but it was too little too late as Wheeling Central closed out the period with an 18-8 run.
"We played a little bit better as a team," Kurtz said.
"Team defense, I thought, was really well done in the first half. And on offense, once again they're trying to take away Emily (Bucon) and Colleen (McCormick), which is something we'll see everytime we play, so the other players had to step up."
Denniston came off the bench to lead the Knights with 14 points while McCormick and Madison Basinger finished with 11 points each.
Bucon chipped in nine as all four girls were named to the Undo's All-Tournament team.
Despite the team being on an eight-game win streak, however, Kurtz thinks he can get even more out of his squad.
"Actually, we'd like to be playing a little bit better," he said.
"It's hard when you're 9-1 to want to play better, but that's our goal every night. Just get a little bit better at everything we do, so by the end of the year, we'll be playing our very best."
Sellitti was the lone Blue Don to make the All-Tournament roster as she ended her night with three points.
Freshman Isabella Rosso led Madonna with seven points while Amy Davis contributed six.
The consolation contest between the Bishops and Conotton Valley was not played due to inclement weather.

Back in July, the Citizens First Bank in Franklin was robbed by a woman demanding money, by handing the teller a note.
Yesterday the bank was robbed again.
This time, surveillance footage captured this man with a black bag, armed with a handgun, demanding money, and fleeing.
This is just one of five robberies in Franklin since April. The one month spared from these crimes was August, and police believe there's a good reason.
"During that month we had no armed robberies. We believe we're going to have to reactivate that task force and that detail because of more robberies we've had recently again," said Franklin Police Investigations Commander Lt. Art McFadden.
The task force McFadden speaks of is the Armed Robberies Task Force, an undercover approach that uses unmarked cars and officers in civilian clothes who monitor businesses day and night.
Police are also trying to educate businesses and banks on how to prepare for the unexpected.
"Most banks ask us once a year to give a seminar on robberies... what to do in case of one, how to try and prevent them... and we offer them to all businesses," said Lt. McFadden.
Lieutenant McFadden says the main priority of the seminars is to make sure injuries are prevented in armed robbery situations.
He also has some advice for anyone who may encounter these situations.
"Human life is the priority. If they want your car keys give them to them, your purse... whatever it may be, but under no circumstances go with somebody," said Lt. McFadden.
McFadden says your chances of survival decrease significantly if you leave your location with the offender and become a hostage.
Police are still searching for yesterday's armed robbery suspect. He is described as a white man, about 5ft. 10in. tall and weighs approximately 180 pounds.
He was wearing sunglasses, a dark pullover, a ski mask, and jeans.
Anyone with any information is asked to call Franklin police at (270) 586-8819.

McMurry University sophomore has been named the National Christian College Athletic Association's Men's Track Athlete of the Week, announced the NCCAA on Tuesday afternoon.
Wilkins garnered the award for his showing at the Texas Tech Masked Rider Open last week. In the triple jump, Wilkins earned a seventh place finish out of 22 competitors. He also bettered his own McMurry University indoor record with a distance of 46'4 ¾", improving on the mark he set last year by two-and-one-quarter inches.
"Dillon is very deserving of this award," remarked head coach . "He not only broke his record and is ranked 2nd in the NCCAA, but he is also ranked 4th in the long jump.
"He is a very hard worker and is a great leader to our team. He has set some very high goals for himself and we as coaches want to do everything we can to help him achieve success.
"As a freshman, Dillon was a part of the National Championship team for (NCAA) Division III and this has inspired him to step up and do bigger and better things this year."
Wilkins and the War Hawks will be back in action on Friday when they travel to Lawrence, Kansas to compete in the Kansas Jayhawk Classic.

Just wondering if there is any policy towards the use of M$ in place of Microsoft. If you're editing another user's answer, do you change it or leave it as is?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
It's childish and immature. We're all adults here, right? If somebody doesn't like Microsoft, fine, but they don't need to act like an imbecile in the process.
Definitely edit it.
Note: I wasn't as clear as I could have been when I initially answered this question years ago. I'm making a minor edit today to better communicate my response. In the spirit of honesty, it's worth noting that I am presently employed by Microsoft; this was not the case when I originally answered.
I think questions and answers should strive towards that encyclopedia-like neutrality.
In other words an answer should state the facts without adding social commentary on the side.
"M$" to my mind adds the connotation that Microsoft is an evil corporation that cares about nothing but money. Whether you agree or disagree with that view, it doesn't belong in an answer.
I think this is a perfectly good reason for editing an answer.
I wouldn't consider it a reason to edit a post, but I would probably change it if I happened to be editing anyway.
I would change it to Microsoft. It has a negative clang to it, plus there's no need for brevity; it just makes the post less readable.
I've made edits to answers in the past to remove M$ for the same reasons listed here. Some users have changed their answer back, thinking that M$ is an official acronym (citing this as a reference), in which case I leave a comment with a link to this meta question as well as this article on Wikipedia. If I think it is degrading the quality of the response or harming the community I will also flag it for a moderator to review.
I'm not saying we need to use all of the official product names (Sidenote: see this great list of official Microsoft product names), but even Wikipedia would not accept M$ when referring to Microsoft in an article. If you want to use it on Slashdot, Meta, or in chat that is your choice, but answers should be a bit more professional.
I personally do not believe that any immature anti-[insert company here] content should be allowed. If I run across things like this I will quickly fix it and be done with it. I don't mind people having negative opinions, but you could voice them in a way that doesn't look incredibly petty.
Since I'm the guy who is being downvoted here, I feel I should present my view as well, no matter how much anyone else dislikes it.
I hate Microsoft. They made many years of my life miserable with their products and no amount of niceness they may have adopted in recent years is ever going to remove the stains from my soul. Having strong emotions is something that helps me get my job done and I can't simply switch that off. I'm me and me thinks of Microsoft as M$.
Childish? Sure.
But: So what? Microsoft is big enough to withstand some teasing and if you can't stand it how is that my fault? You don't like my style? Well, who is childish/unprofessional then?
How much "political correctness" or "encyclopedia-like neutrality" is healthy? I don't know.
But having fun at what I do is what drives me. I prefer witty answers over neutral ones. My style gave me 50K so far.
The discussion right now upsets me. You are, right now, hurting my feelings. My fingers shake as I type this. My brain says "Don't send this, it'll only cause trouble." But my guts yell "STAND UP AND FIGHT" From now on, whenever I return to Stackoverflow, I will remember that some style nazis are in here, hurting me. That takes a bit chunk of fun out of my effort here. And fun is the coin in which you pay me.
What should I do? Love it, leave it, or change it?
I don't want to leave. I've invested too much in SO.
I can't bring myself to accept those edits. There is nothing technical wrong with my answer.
Change myself? Well, I'm doing that but it takes time. Do I want to be more neutral? Maybe. But that would also hurt my work performance. And I don't buy the reasons. So do I want to change in the way Greg Bray wants me? Not at all. So motivation is low on my side.
Am I being professional about this right now? Absolutely not! But that's also part of the 50K. So how about you love it, leave it or change it? Would be more simple for me.

The purpose of this presentation is to acquaint members of the alternative lifestyle communities with issues that may arise from the nature of their relationships both during life as well as in the event of death or disability. Many of us are involved in dedicated relationships outside of the
traditional man-woman 2.3 kids marriage. We acquire property together – we incur liabilities together, and we often fail to acknowledge that sooner or later, be it by going our separate ways, or death or disability, each and every one of these relationships will end. The purpose of this presentation is to address some of the issues and problems that we might encounter, and help prepare for them.

text: I'm pretty sure that this is my last lesson based on an anime figure, but I could be wrong. Up next this tutorial will be on drawing Madoka Kaname from the anime 'Puella Magi'. Even though she is small, Madoka is the lead figure or protagonist in the series. She is a fourteen year old cheerful girl that has a lot of energy and love. Her day consists of being around those she loves as well as being surrounded by her good friends. I think Madoka is an adorable character, and this is actually my first time even seeing her. I personally never heard of Puella Magi, but I know a lot of you faithful anime/manga attics do. It was really fun creating a lesson which will enable you to draw Madoka. I hope you like this submission, and like I said before, there is more coming your way. Adios mi amigos!

Quillens higher K-groups of rings can be realized as πnK(C) - the Waldhausen K-Theory of a suitable Waldhausen category C. Is this also true for Milnor K-Theory of Rings? Is there a functor F from rings to waldhausen categories s.t. $K^M_n(R)\cong \pi_n(K(F(R))$?
I don't know if there any evidence for this to be true. Note that Quillen K-groups are defined as homotopy groups of some space (+-construction, Q-construction, Waldhausen construction etc), whereas Milnor K-groups were defined in terms of generators and relations, which generalize generators and relations for classical K_2.
More invariantly Milnor K-groups can be constructed using homology of GL_n (paper of Suslin and Nesterenko) or as certain motivic cohomology groups of a field (Suslin-Voevodsky). However, these constructions are unrelated to any homotopy groups.
Also, I'm not sure how you define Milnor K-theory for a general ring R? (I was interpreting your question with "ring R" replaced by "field F".)
Bob Thomason proved that there is no Milnor K-theory functor for schemes, with a reasonable map to Quillen K-theory, in:
The original question seems not to have been answered yet. One answer might be that it would be unnatural to expect all the Milnor K-groups of a field R to arise as the homotopy groups of a single space $K(F(R))$, because the natural way they currently arise is as homotopy groups of separate spaces, or better, of separate spectra. The spectra are the Eilenberg-MacLane spectra $\mathbb Z(n)$ associated to the chain complexes that compute motivic cohomology of $R$, namely, $K_n^M R = \pi_{-n} \mathbb Z(n)$.

Body Super-SectionWritten by on April 1, 1999 How to Add Factory Hood Stripes
Now that our weary Cheap Street '70 Chevelle has been tuned up with such pricey goodies as a 502, nitrous, and a 4L80-E, the "Cheap" moniker no longer rings true.
And, with 10-second timeslips on the books, we figured the Chevy needed an image update. Hasta la vista Cheap Street, and welcome "Mean Street," the new name for our in-house project.
With the new name we needed a new look. What better way to score a new paint look than with help from Original Parts Group and Car Nation Auto Body. Follow along to see how to add factory hood stripes. Your Chevelle may not run as well as ours, but it can easily look as good.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
We ordered a stencil kit (PN 269117) from Original Parts Group for painting factory-type hood and decklid stripes similar to those on '70-'72 Chevelle Super Sports. The kit comes with the stick-on stencils, a scraper tool, striping tape, and instructions.Thoroughly clean the hood and decklid, then, using a spray bottle, apply a light coat of water (with a few drops of dishwashing soap for lubricity) to the to-be-painted surfaces.Carefully pull the paper backing off of a stencil and align it with the body panels (each stencil is labeled with its proper position). Use the supplied plastic scraper to carefully squeeze out any small air bubbles trapped between the stencil and the paint.Allow the stencil to dry for about 20 minutes, then carefully pull back the clear plastic covering and remove the proper die-cut portion of the stencil kit as indicated by the instructions.Using the supplied striping tape, finish the stencil line by applying the thin masking tape (arrows) between the hood's front and rear stencils. Mask off anything that you don't want painted (like the rest of the car).Use 1,000-grit wet/dry sandpaper to wet sand the stripe area to slightly rough-up the texture so the new paint will adhere to it. Afterward, clean the sanded area to remove any dust, debris, or moisture.

6 Sci-Fi Technologies You'll Soon Have on Your Phone
#3. Apps That Act as Your Therapist
Depression is a massive bastard to diagnose and treat, not to mention actually endure. When your mood is sinking and your thoughts are as black as Norwegian metal, there can be times when nothing seems worth doing anymore. You haven't left the house for days ... and then, out of nowhere, your phone rings and a recorded message tells you to get off your ass and go meet a friend.
"Maybe take a shower, too. Just a suggestion."
It's called Mobilyze, it lives in your phone and it can tell what your mental state is. It watches your whole life: The system gathers data from GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and accelerometers -- all standard fare in most smartphones. Through special algorithms, Mobilyze uses this data to determine if you're showing signs of depression, and reacts accordingly.
So if your phone's GPS says you haven't been leaving the house, or your Wi-Fi displays abnormal activity, Mobilyze will start sending you motivational texts and recorded messages in an attempt to get you to pick yourself up and venture out into the world. If that sounds trite and silly to you, the research says the process actually works. Like a boss.
Northwestern University
"You seem stuck in a rut. Have you considered arson?"
Researchers at Northwestern University installed Mobilyze in the phones of several seriously depressed patients. By the time the experiment period was over, each and every participant was showing a much better mood. Alhough we're not sure whether this is because of the messages Mobilyze was sending them or if they just regained their energy by hating that goddamn phone that rings every five minutes.
#2. Phones That Unlock Your Doors (Without Touching Anything)
We've all faced doors the hard way: coffee in one hand, a bag in the other, hot dog wedged in your mouth, desperately fumbling for the key while attempting to keep the scalding-hot liquid from spilling down your pants. But what if the tiny cellphone in your pocket could save you from those nasty espresso burns by unlocking the door for you? And what if it could do so without any commands, by reading tiny vibrations that run through your body?
"Oh God. Science, hurry the hell up."
Through the use of piezoelectric technology, researchers at AT&T have developed a smartphone that tells your door who you are. When you touch the doorknob, the phone sends vibrations -- so subtle that you can't feel them -- through your bones and up into the doorknob, opening the lock. Each phone will have a unique vibration "key" that resonates with the corresponding door.
Innovation News Daily
"One day, burglars will be able to breach houses with naught but a tuning fork!"
They're still working on the technology, so don't go throwing all your keys into the ditch screaming "FUCK YOU, KEYS, I'VE WAITED FOR THIS ALL MY LIFE!" just yet. However ... if you do have the desire to turn your phone into a door-opening device right the hell now, you can always buy the Lockitron system app for a measly $300. It doesn't quite manage the whole "good vibrations" thing, but nevertheless does a fair job at opening your locks from afar -- much like your car's remote key.
Still, until they work their way through most kinks of the modern, power-draining smartphone, it might be a good idea to think twice before storing the only way to enter your house inside the device with the perpetually dying battery.
#1. Scanners That See Through Solid Objects
X-ray vision features pretty high on everyone's "Superpowers I'd Like to Have" list, although almost entirely for nefarious reasons. In fact, normal human life is only possible because other people can't see through closed doors, file cabinets and our clothing. Until now.
Soon, the entire world will be porn.
We've actually had the technology to see through solid objects for a while now. Electromagnetic waves at the terahertz range are capable of penetrating molecules that optical light can't touch, and with special equipment, this can be used to see through solid objects. That's how those airport security scanners see right through your clothes.
The problem with terahertz imaging devices is that they need tons of energy and complicated lensing to work, making the technology both expensive and unfeasible for pocket-sized portability. That is, until recently. A research team at UT Dallas has found that they can build a much smaller, more effective version of current terahertz devices using little more than a modern computer microchip. And the first place they decided these tiny Superman eyes need to be? Inside your phone.
"With great power comes great responsibility. But sometimes, y'know, fuck it."
They have a ready-to-use technology to see through walls, clothes ... the works. That's like a license to print money -- the first phone to have this feature will outsell literally everything in the history of mankind within days. And human society will collapse within a week or so.
That is, if it wasn't for some moral backbone from the research team. Due to privacy concerns, they have set the limit of see-through visibility to just 4 inches, so unless the person you're trying to sneak a peek at is pressed right against a wall -- or you're really good at making excuses as to why you're running your phone all over their body -- you're probably better off without it.
"You've been contaminated by star radiation! Let me just pull up my Geiger counter app ..."
That doesn't mean the gadget is without useful purpose, though. You'll still be able to peek through your own skin to find any possible tumors, or through your newspaper to see if your ex already left the bar. It also pays to remember that the 4-inch range is due to a decision by the researchers, not an actual technical limitation. There will be nothing stopping competition from removing this limit once the product hits the market. And given the way free commerce works, the "see everyone naked forever" chip should be available to order online roughly 0.02 seconds after this thing hits the stores.

My company sometimes send mail, but it usually goes to "spam" folder in gmail. The email includes only a few sentences, without any links or images. Just plain text. How can I fix this? (Notice that I send mail with fake sender address, could that be main reason?).
Additionally sometimes domains and IP addresses can often enter into blacklist databases which can cause emails to be triggered as spam or some email providers have been known to reject the emails completely. I recommend that you check both the IP and the domain against major email blacklisting databases, in the event that your IP fails, then I recommend that you request a new shared IP or purchased a dedicated IP.
My friend and colleague has an excellent article on sending mail here: http://mikehillyer.com/email/how-to-send-one-billion-email-marketing-messages-per-month/
While you're not working at that scale of things, the meat and potatoes are the same.
In addition to the other suggestions, set up Reverse PTR for your mail server's IP address.
First things first: are you sending spam (unsolicited mass email)? If you're not operating a strictly opt-in list that is carefully maintained, then you will end up spamming a lot of people, who will get annoyed with you and report you as a spammer (simply by clicking the "mark as spam" button).
If you're not spamming people, then you need to make sure you use an authenticated mail server that isn't being used by spammers. Also, setting up SPF as John Conde suggests will further verify that you're a legitimate mail sender since receivers can use reverse DNS to verify the sender is the owner of the domain the email is coming from.
There are also content checkers that try to see if your email contains any spammy text, but as long as you're not writing stuff like "FR3E VI4GR4!!! F4KE R013X" in your emails, this isn't a big issue these days.
Also, what volume of email are you sending? What is your opt-out policy? If you're on a large web host with a decent tech support, you could consult them and see what they suggest. Usually legit web hosts have a vested interest in not getting their IP blacklisted as a spam source.
If you're a seriously large sender, beware--The big three (Google, MSN/Hotmail, and Yahoo as well as that wanna-be monster AOL) all seem to have serious challenges to people who send more than X number of emails to them per second (honestly, that number is not published as far as I know). Regardless of what you do, regardless of how legit you are, they all seem to get touchy when you jam a bunch of email down their throats. It's worse when you're just getting started and they don't "trust" you yet.
The "big" senders such as Socketlabs, SMTP.com etc all throttle sending to sites in the beginning, but especially the big hosts. We were having some similar issues with a well established, properly setup host. When we added a short delay between sends to similar hosts (i.e. when our server sends an email to hotmail followed by another email to hotmail, it delays a few miliseconds) our delivery rate to those hosts skyrocketed. Sure, it slows down sending at little bit, but we're still able to get out several hundred thousand emails a day without fail.
Know, however, that you can never guarantee that an email will not be spam or even 100% guarantee that it'll be delivered. Between overzealous spam rules, inept users, the blackhole of AOL and connectivity challenges of a nationwide network, there are a million and one reasons why your email may never reach an inbox. The only thing you can do is ensure that you've covered your bases and that from your end it's good to go.
How do you know your mail is being flagged as spam? Are legit users telling you that that's the case? Will they help you out by sending you copies of the mail? Anti-spam systems such as SpamAssassin will put headers in the email explaining what rules were broken that got you flagged as spam.
So get a copy of some mail that got flagged as spam, and see what it says.
First you must know why a mail goes to SPAM folder.
If your
How are you sending the mail? ie, what programming language?
You should take a look at MailJet which provide a SMTP server for you. You just need to send your email using their SMTP. Usually you can do it in your conf and if you use Swift mailer, it's damn easy.
It's really transparent to implement. And then you can track sent emails, how many open, click, etc ...
It's important that the ip is not blacklisted in the popular spam-databases. After that you have to send mails via SMTP not via any other method. For examples PHPs build in mailer allows using not existing mail adresses. So mails send via this mailer often tend to be spam.
And after all you shouldn't use dynamic ip addresses if your sending from home.

The 5 Most Epic Battles of Will That Would Not End
#2. The 250-Year Family Feud
In America, the most famous and iconic family feud is the Hatfields and McCoys, but it lasted only 13 years (and a dozen deaths). Meanwhile, the feud between two Korean families, the Yooms and Shims, has lasted longer than America.
They also number one million and 250,000 family members, respectively.
To understand why the two families hate each other, you have to go back even further than that. The whole thing started in the 12th century when Yoon Gwan, a general, expanded Korean borders in the north and achieved the status of awesome. For his efforts, he got a nice grave in a hill just outside of Seoul.
We hope he was actually dead first.
Several hundred years later, in the 1600s, the Shim family thought the same hill looked like a cherry spot to put Shim Ji Won, a former prime minister. Well, what does it really matter, right? There's plenty of room for everybody and the dead don't need much breathing room.
The Standoff:
Everything was fine until the mid-1700s, when Yoon's descendants rediscovered the hill and realized 1) the great Yoon Gwan was buried there and 2) he was now sharing a hunk of land with some asshole. They flipped the hell out. Graves were vandalized, and the two families came to the brink of violence. The feud was on.
Belts were hiked up to the nipples, and there was a great tugging of beards.
You have to understand that in Korea, ancestral reverence and geomancy (feng shui in China) are taken very seriously. It matters where you bury your dead because the land itself can affect their ability and willingness to help you from beyond the grave. And it's serious business even today -- South Korea's Samsung Electronics, for example, consults geomancers when deciding how to set up shop displays. Politicians have been known to move their ancestors before an election.
After years of this bullshit, King Young Jo ordered the graves to be left as they were and for the violence to stop.
"Stop trying to kill each other! This is a cemetery."
Each side declared "piss on that" and went on fighting, prompting the king to intercede again, with a vengeance. He had the elderly patriarchs of both families flogged and exiled; the Yoon member actually died from the punishment. And still, nothing close to peace was achieved. Hundreds of years of violence and actual marriage bans between families went by without a compromise. They did build a nice wall between the graves, though.
Because good fences make good fuck yous.
Finally, in 2008, the feud came to a dramatic head when both sides ... decided this crap had gone on long enough. Seriously, they just got together, talked for about a year, and came to a decision that would make everyone happy. The Yoons would give up some land on a hill nearby so the Shims could move Shim Ji Won. That's it. Peace had finally been found! Or would have, if the government hadn't vetoed the whole idea.
The feud, the government argued, had gone on so long that it was part of Korean culture now; moving the graves would be like erasing that. So technically the problem hasn't been solved because Korea loves their wacky antics.
#1. The Grudge Against Dante Alighieri Lasted 700 Years
Dante Alighieri, of Inferno fame, really pissed off his government.
In 1302.
They've never quite forgiven him.
Turns out the 10th circle of hell is full of stubborn people and those who don't replace the toothpaste cap.
The Standoff:
Back in those days, Dante belonged to a political group called the White Guelphs, the enemies of the, uh, Black Guelphs. They'd all just been Guelphs once, but fell out over a difference of opinion about papal influence.
"OK, whoever says his hat isn't big enough, get on the damn Hell-boat!"
In 1300, Dante had been part of the government in Florence that exiled a bunch of Black Guelphs, but the Blacks soon returned to power and did some exiling of their own. About 600 White Guelphs (along with Dante) were told to stay away from Florence for two years and to also pay a fine.
Dante seemed to have no problem with the exile, but refused to pay the fine -- even though it meant they'd burn him at the stake if he returned to Florence. So while other White Guelphs were eventually allowed to return, Dante wasn't.
"No thanks, I'll just sit here in my terracotta pants and adorable floppy red hat."
But, time heals all wounds, right? So around 1316, the Black Guelphs welcomed back all the exiles. Even Dante. All he had to do was pay up some money and perform a public penance. No big deal.
"We've got the demons rounded up already, eager to hear it."
Dante, as you can guess, said no. A last offer to return was extended on the condition he stayed under house arrest. Again, Dante refused, which pissed the Florentine government off enough to extend his death sentence to his sons. Dante would stay in exile the rest of his life, and be buried in Ravenna. End of feud, right?
Ha, no. Florence eventually regretted this whole fiasco and wanted to bring Dante's bones home. Ravenna refused, repeatedly, over the next 500-plus years, probably after a visit from Dante's ghost. Eventually a fancy tomb was built for him in Florence anyway. Tourists visit it often, thinking it actually houses the poet's body, when, in reality, Dante is still serving his now seven-century-long exile.
You'd think they'd at least throw a few hobo bones in there, just to fill it out.
Finally in 2008, two city councilors in Florence thought it'd be nice if they pardoned Dante and gave the Golden Florin (the city's highest honor) to Dante's family in a public ceremony. This, however, simply got the argument started again (with one councilor saying "Dante's heirs didn't deserve to be called Alighieri").
As a result, Dante's last descendant, Serego Alighieri, boycotted the ceremony. Hell, we're pretty sure Dante would have wanted it that way.
He's now making a killing in the tourist industry.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- The chair of Yale University's English Department, Michael Warner, will address "The Evangelical Black Atlantic" at the sixth annual Walter Harding Lecture Sept. 24 at the State University of New York at Geneseo.
Warner, also the Seymour H. Knox Professor of English and professor of American Studies at Yale, will deliver the lecture at 4 p.m. in Newton Hall, Room 213, which will be followed by a reception in Welles Hall, Room 111. Both events are open to the public without charge. The lecture is made possible by the Harding family endowment, the English department and the President's Office.
"Dr. Warner brings a breadth and depth of intellectual vitality to all he does and we are delighted to have him deliver this year's lecture," said Richard Finkelstein, professor and chair of Geneseo's Department of English. "His curiosity is contagious and makes his writing and speaking of interest to those in a variety of academic disciplines."
Warner's work ranges from scholarship in early American literature and print culture, to more theoretical writing about publics and social movements, to journalism and nonacademic political writing. His Geneseo lecture will focus on the development of evangelism and African American Christianity in the context of the "Black Atlantic," the transnational African diasporic culture that developed in the wake of the Atlantic slave trade.
SUNY Geneseo launched the annual Harding lecture in 2004 in honor of the late Walter Harding, an internationally famous faculty member who was the world's leading scholar on 19th century author Henry David Thoreau. Author of more than 25 books and numerous articles on the life and work of Thoreau, Harding's biography on Thoreau is still considered the definitive account of his life and was reprinted by Princeton University Press in 1992. He was the founding secretary and former president of the Thoreau Society, the oldest and largest international organization devoted to the study of any American author.
Harding, a distinguished professor emeritus of English at SUNY Geneseo, died in 1996 at the age of 78. He joined the faculty at Geneseo in 1956 after teaching at the University of Virginia, Rutgers University and the University of North Carolina. He received his doctorate from Rutgers in 1950. He served as chair of SUNY Geneseo's English department for six years and was designated a University Professor in 1966 and a Distinguished Professor in 1973. He retired in 1982 and a year later became the first faculty member in SUNY to be awarded a SUNY Honorary Doctor of Letters degree.
Harding's wife, Marjorie Brook Harding, created an endowment to make the lecture series possible. She significantly enlarged the endowment last spring, assuring that generations of Geneseo students and faculty will benefit from Walter Harding's tradition of scholarship and learning. In addition, Harding's family donated his extensive collection of more than 15,000 books, pamphlets, articles and other Thoreau memorabilia to his beloved Thoreau Society at Walden Woods in Concord, Mass. The collection includes all Thoreau first editions and first printings. The family generously ensured that SUNY Geneseo's Milne Library was able to make copies of Harding's works. The Walter Harding Collection consists of writings and 19th-century objects associated with Thoreau and transcendentalism.

Gmail's Auto-Forwarding Notice
The explanation for this temporary annoyance is that some malicious software or other people who gain access to your account can setup auto-forwarding. "For about a week, this notice will appear for a few minutes each time you sign in to your account. Displaying the notification in this way helps ensure that you have a chance to see the notice, rather than someone who might try to gain unauthorized access to your account and use this setting improperly. The notice will disappear immediately if you choose to disable the forwarding setting, but that decision is up to you," mentions Google.
So that's the reason why there's no "dismiss" link and you're forced to see the pink bar again and again. Maybe it would be more useful to show this message for one week after auto-forwarding has been setup.
If you no longer want to see the message, temporarily disable auto-forwarding, switch to the simplified HTML interface or pin the Gmail tab if you use Chrome, Firefox or Opera. Another option is to add this filter in AdBlock Plus: mail.google.com##.fVKDI (the extension is available for Firefox and Chrome).

Hotmail had this for months ifnot years, I always found it annoying (I use a backup account for my email so I got this always enabled). But for one week it seems good indeed.ReplyDelete
THANK YOU THANK YOU for the Adblock-plus Filter!!!ReplyDelete
very much appreciated!
A little CSS will get rid of the banner (and thanks Google for becoming even more annoying with every passing day).ReplyDelete
I can definitely see Sushubh's point, here: If someone got hacked a while ago, the solution of having the message show up for a week after a filter is created would fail to catch their attention (because the filter's likely older than a week).ReplyDelete
I think this is principally an effort to ferret out long-lived hacking.

I was admittedly ready to commence violent one-man street demonstrations over the annoying pink bar at the top of my otherwise pretty gmail screen; however, now that I know why it's there I can calm down and save my clever protest signs for future re-use. Note to Google: How about a little 'hi, I'm here because...' link next to such a banner in the future?ReplyDelete
It's absurd that you won't even let people temporarily close it. It's a huge waste of space.ReplyDelete

"About a week" has been three weeks and counting. What jackass at Google made the decision to NOT let me get rid of that message once I've reviewed it? Come on, Google.ReplyDelete
How annoying. We should have the facility to remove it once we've accepted itReplyDelete
I have to say if it helps to stop hackers auto forwarding your emails then I can put up with this. A while ago someone got into my emails and autoforwarded them all my sent mail disappeeared.ReplyDelete
I had this problem too, it would be a good way to stop hackers autoforwarding your sent mail.ReplyDelete
Hi, I have a question about the auto forwarded incoming emails. Can I find anywhwre a log of the emails that have been forwarded to the other address in the past?ReplyDelete

Preference for the use of parentheses or brackets or some other punctuation, such as commas, would be a matter of style for a particular publication and governed by a style guide, such as the Associated Press Stylebook, the Chicago Manual of Style, the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, or other style guides.
However, in most style guides that I'm familiar with the full name is provided on the first reference with the abbreviation in parentheses. For example:
After the first such reference in the article/document, the abbreviation can be used without need to reference the full term.
Your second example would be correct if you were quoting from some source that didn't explain the meaning of the initialism; in that case you'd be introducing words not present in the source and square brackets would be used for that.

I really liked this, very satisfying. I ended up adding an extra can of beans (both kidney and pinto), plus some green pepper too. I used the "World Table" green salsa from Walmart.
I split it up into 5 servings instead of 4 and it came out at 339 calories per serving (carefully weighing and measuring everything), but it tastes like more to me!

97 Reviews for Beef & Bean Chile Verde
I really liked this, very satisfying. I ended up adding an extra can of beans (both kidney and pinto), plus some green pepper too. I used the "World Table" green salsa from Walmart.
I've used both lean ground turkey and very lean ground beef. I uded the Frontera brand green salsa. I like this recipe so much, I usually double it...
I really liked this recipe. I did both kidney and pinto beans and added a can of diced tomatoes with out the broth. It was so easy and tasted delicious. Top with a little bit of cheese and plain yogurt for 'sour cream' and you've got a hearty healthy meal. Be careful if using fresh chili powder....may get extremely spicy!!
Sorry but we did not enjoy this at all. Next time i'll stick to my white chili recipe. WAYY too much cumin, not enough spice, why even suggest taco sauce? I think this would be much better with the enchilada sauce and perhaps chicken broth instead of water. If i were to make it again (I won't) I would also half the cumin and add a can of diced green chiles.
I made this after coming home for a long day of errands. I was able to feed the very hungry family within 30 minutes, start to finish. It was wonderful. I served it over rice with fresh cilantro and queso fresco cheese. It was a filling meal for sure. Will be making this again.
