Rodgers helps lead Packers to NFC North title
Chicago - As forecast, the Chicago Bears gave it the old college try on this 44-degree afternoon at Soldier Field.
They knocked the Green Bay Packers' run defense on its heels in a rip-snorting opening drive.
They sacked Aaron Rodgers twice in the first two series and kept the Packers off the scoreboard through three possessions.
And they scored first on an exceptional individual play by their mainstay on offense, Brandon Marshall.
When wide receiver Joe Anderson blew up Randall Cobb on the kickoff return, the Packers were 89 yards from a tying touchdown and a long way from clinching the NFC North Division championship.
So often in this rivalry over the last two decades, quarterback play tipped the scales toward the Packers. It did again Sunday in Green Bay's 21-13 victory.
Facing third and 6 early in the drive, Aaron Rodgers was flushed from the pocket and fleeing to his right as the pursuit began to close. Out of nowhere, he decided to throw into a tight sideline window to Cobb, who went up and speared the pass for a gain of 31 yards.
"I kind of had flashbacks to back in Atlanta when he used to do that," fullback John Kuhn said. "They brought one too many guys. They had a free rusher, and he made the guy miss. He's a fantastic player, the best in the league."
Then on third and 4, Rodgers spotted James Jones separating on the outside right against man-to-man coverage by Kelvin Hayden. He hit him in stride for a 29-yard touchdown, and just like that the Packers had marched those 89 yards in just seven plays.
After an exchange of punts, Jay Cutler began a two-minute charge from his 37. With Marshall doubled on the outside, he whipped a ball toward Devin Hester, who was running a double move on Casey Hayward.
The throw went right to Hayward, who returned his sixth interception of the season 24 yards to the Chicago 26.
When Rodgers looked off coverage and found Jones for an 8-yard score, it was 14-7 at halftime. When he took the Packers 79 yards in 13 plays to open the second half with a third touchdown strike to Jones, the rest was almost anti-climactic.
"The man's pretty good . . . pretty good . . . pretty good," defensive end B.J. Raji said of Rodgers. "The stat that sets him apart from every quarterback is his touchdown-interception ratio from his career.
"I could be wrong on the stat, but I think it's three to one. That means 21 points on the board before he throws a pick.
"I mean, how do you lose when you're three to one on touchdowns to picks?"
Raji was almost dead on. Counting playoffs, Rodgers has 179 touchdown passes compared to 50 interceptions.
That was Cutler's only interception but, once again, his performance paled in comparison to Rodgers'. Just as Brett Favre outplayed dozens of Chicago passers from 1992-'07, quarterback play is the common denominator why the Packers are 31-12 against the Bears since Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren took over in '92.
Raji said it would be foolish to blame Cutler for the Bears' sixth loss in a row to Green Bay. "It wasn't his fault, I would say," Raji said.
But with a shabby offensive line, just one legitimate target and a defense missing three of its top six players (Henry Melton, Brian Urlacher, Tim Jennings), the Bears once again had no choice but to place an undue amount of the burden on the quarterback.
And against the disciplined scheme of defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who has owned Cutler and the Bears, the Bears had very little chance to win short of taking the ball away four or five times.
Unlike Favre, whose penchant for turnovers helped the Bears win 10 of his 32 starts, Rodgers (9-2) almost never turns it over.
"You know going in what he is and what type of performance you're going to have to have," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "He's a great player. MVP of the league."
Five weeks ago, the Packers found themselves two games behind the Bears. Then the Packers went 4-1, the Bears went 1-4 and - poof - the race was over with two games left.
The Bears (8-6) still can qualify for the playoffs as a wild-card team. They also could fail and, either way, be looking at a coaching change.
Last season, the Packers won the North with four games remaining en route to a 15-1 regular season. A lot of good that did them after the Giants ushered them out of the playoffs.
"We're where we want to be with two games left," nose tackle Ryan Pickett said. "We're playing good football at the right time."
Although the Packers (10-4) remain two games behind Atlanta (12-2), they would claim the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs on the basis of better conference record if the teams finish 12-4.
San Francisco improved to 10-3-1 with its 41-34 victory in New England and can earn the No. 2 seed with victories over Seattle and Arizona.
As usual, the Packers weren't artistic in winning for the eighth time in nine games. But they had Rodgers to hide some shortcomings in the offensive line and a defense that basically took away everything offensive coordinator Mike Tice tried to do after the first series.
The Bears rushed seven times for 40 yards, prompting defensive end Mike Neal to say, "They came out and actually fired off and were playing good in the first quarter."
That drive resulted in a punt after Matt Forte was stopped for no gain on second and 1, center Matt Garza false-started and Sam Shields broke up a third-down pass to Alshon Jeffery.
The Packers moved a safety down late into the box a good share of the first half. It was so effective that Forte, who had six carries for 37 yards on the first series, went 13 carries for 10 yards after that, not counting a 22-yard run in which Shields fanned on the tackle at the line.
"Chicago runs the ball pretty good on everybody they play," Pickett said. "But against us we find a way to shut it down with our big bodies and athletic players like Clay (Matthews)."
From the first series on, Forte had five carries for no gain and three attempts for minus yardage.
By moving a safety, usually Morgan Burnett, to the line, the Packers allowed a few more man-to-man chances than in the Sept. 13 meeting for Marshall to beat Tramon Williams.
Partly because of pressure and partly because of Williams' shadowy coverage, Marshall was targeted just seven times and wasn't a major factor.
"I traveled a lot with him (Marshall) today," Williams said. "We just mixed up coverages. Played a lot of one-high (safety). Half safety over the top sometimes.
"That's what they were asking for. For the most part, we gave them opportunities and they couldn't do nothing with it."
When Smith was posting a 6-2 record against the Packers from 2003-'07, an underlooked part of his winning equation was the dominant special-teams play of Dave Toub's units.
The Packers had woes of their own Sunday - two misses by Mason Crosby, McCarthy's bone-headed attempt at a throwback punt return - on special teams, but it has been several years since the Bears could just throttle the Packers on special teams.
"They're really good and very dynamic," Jarrett Bush said of the Bears' kicking units. "But over time you tend to learn your opponent and try to take away their strength."
That the Packers have. Combine it with superior quarterbacking and the Packers-Bears series has become one-sided, even routine.

Like a lot of other reviews of Microsoft Windows Vista, mine suggested that most people are better off waiting until they buy a new PC rather than upgrading their existing machine. I suspect that most people will do just that, but there are always some hearty souls out there who are willing to live on the bleeding edge of technology. I admit I'm one of them. I started using pre-release versions of Vista months ago and have been working with the final version for several weeks. I've installed it on several machines and, for the most part, my experience has been positive.
The consumer versions of Vista go on sale Tuesday, January 30th. If you're thinking of upgrading a Windows XP machine to Vista, you first need to find out what if any Vista editions will work on your machine. Then you need to select the version and decide how to install it. That last issue is more complicated than it might seem because there are three different ways to install Vista on an XP machine.
The easiest way to see if your machine is compatible is to go to www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready and download a free program that will scan your system and tell you what, if anything, you need to do to make your machine Vista ready. Make sure all of your peripheral devices are plugged in because it checks to see if Vista is compatible with those devices. If your graphics card isn't up to speed or you don't have quite enough system memory it may tell you that you can run the $99 Home Basic edition but not the $159 Home Premium version that gives you some of the cooler features like translucent windows, DVD movie burning and Windows Media Center.
If your machine can't run Premium, you might be able to make it compatible by getting a new graphics adapter and upgrading to at least a gigabyte of system memory. I replaced my old video card with an nVidia GeForce 7600 (about $170) and am getting great performance.
Also, check with the developer or manufacturer of any hardware or software that you can't live without. You want to make sure your mission critical products are Vista compatible before upgrading the machine. If not, find out when and if an upgrade software or driver will become available and wait until then. Finally, gather all of your program CDs so you can re-install your software if necessary. Don't make the mistake of installing Vista and later discovering that I you have an install CD for a program you'll need.

Muncie, IN
With Benicio del Toro dropping out of negotiations, Variety reports that Carlos star Edgar Ramirez has emerged as the frontrunner to play the villain in Paramount Pictures' Star Trek sequel. Colombiana actor Jordi Molla is also believed to be a contender.
Ramirez is expected to test for the role, via Skype, as early tonight, with director J.J. Abrams hoping to make a decision by the weekend, a little more than a month before the film goes into production.
Rumors swirled last week that del Toro would play Khan — the role originated by Ricardo Montalban — something Abrams flatly denied. However, it's unclear whether the filmmaker was referring to the character or simply the del Toro's involvement. It's worth noting, though, that Abrams seems intent on finding an actor of Latin descent for the part, whatever that may be.
Best known for his starring turn in Carlos, Ramirez also appeared in Che, Domino and The Bourne Ultimatum. He'll next be seen playing Ares in Wrath of the Titans.
Written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof, the Star Trek sequel stars returning cast members Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho and Anton Yelchin, joined by newcomers Alice Eve and Peter Weller. The film opens May 17, 2013.
Javier Bardem or Nestor Carbonelle.
Is it safe to say the next villian is Hispanic?
Come on. Don't mess with the classic.. come up with a new story
Wasn't Khan meant to be Indian?
Well "Khan" isn't exactly a Latino name, and I seem to recall one of the books saying he was a Siek (spelling sorry).

Product Description
Berlin, 1939: At the dawn of World War II, power-mad SS Officer Wallenberg (Helmut Berger of THE DAMNED) is ordered to find and train Germany's most beautiful women to work in the opulent brothel of Madam Kitty (Ingrid Thulin of CRIES AND WHISPERS). Here these Nazi nymphs will submit to the bizarre passions and carnal degradations of the Reich's highest-ranking men and women while Wallenberg secretly records their acts for blackmail. But when an innocent young prostitute (Teresa Ann Savoy of CALIGULA) uncovers the conspiracy, her revenge will ignite a holocaust of pain, pleasure and shocking sexual perversion. The story is true. The depravity is real. The film is SALON KITTY.
John Steiner (MANNAJA), Tina Aumont (TORSO) and John Ireland (RED RIVER) co-star in this infamous epic co-written and directed by Tinto Brass and featuring exquisite production design by OscarAE winner Ken Adam (BARRY LYNDON, GOLDFINGER). Released in America as the heavily censored MADAM KITTY, this controversial shocker has been fully restored from the director's own personal vault print and features extended scenes of sexual atrocities now presented for the first time ever.

It is already a classic and I am very happy that finally this director's cut version is available.
Specifically, "Salon Kitty" takes place in 1939 Berlin just as the German military readies itself for war. At some point, higher ups decide to assemble the best examples of young Aryan womanhood in order to train them as prostitutes in service to the German soldiers. A German officer of supposedly impeccable standards, Helmut Wallenberg, runs this new training program. Wallenberg, who has his own nasty little secrets, comes across as the archetype of every German officer portrayed in films since the end of World War II: he is imperious, cold, calculating, and as cruel as they come.Read more ›

love the titillating SS exploitation flixs ..this one is a must and based on a true story actually as there was a brothel used to spy on SS officers & not as hokey as IlsaPublished 8 months ago by John C.

Kevin Love: The BIG FUNDAMENTAL. Best Power Forward to ever lace them up. Like he has done with many before, TD gave me my first "Welcome to the NBA" moment in 2008. Truly an honor to watch you and compete against you for years. Thank you for the impact you had on the game… Brilliant career!!!
The Cavs are happy to talk to Wade, but they don't have a lot of options without dramatically overhauling the roster. As of now, they can only offer Wade the taxpayer's midlevel exception worth $3.47 million. He can command more than $20 million annually from other teams in free agency. The Cavs can't offer Wade that much without a dramatic move, such as trading Kevin Love. Not even dumping Iman Shumpert and his $9.7 million will free up the necessary cap space to pursue Wade with anything other than the taxpayer's midlevel.
ESPN Cleveland: Windhorst: For now, Kevin Love is a lock to be on the team next year. It sounds like they want to bring everyone back. That can all change
For each player, winning the NBA title meant something different. In Love's case, it was validation, silencing critics that wondered whether he was something more than a stat-stuffer in Minnesota. It was his chance to be on The Finals stage after missing most of the Cavaliers' postseason run in 2015 following surgery on his left shoulder. "To be back, it was pretty surreal," Love said while reflecting on his Finals absence last year. "I remember Game 1 was actually in Oakland against the Warriors and having seen that game and having felt the energy there, I never wanted to be in a game so bad. To be back, it was surreal, it was unbelievable. To win Game 7, all the odds stacked against us, being down 3-1, having the major comeback, no team has ever done it. It was surreal."
Free agency is just one part of the equation for the cap-strapped Cavaliers. There's also the question about whether Richard Jefferson, who has teased fans about holding off retirement, will play one more year. Then, of course, Kevin Love's future remains a constant talking point despite Tyronn Lue expressing his desire for the starting power forward to return. "I think our best basketball is in front of us because we finally organically grew to the point that we were ready to achieve something together," Griffin said. "I expect you're going to see better play from Kyrie Irving who I think took a huge jump as both an individual talent and a winner throughout these playoffs. I think Kevin's fit with us is much more clearly defined. We intend to keep this group together and see what we're capable of."
Kevin Love: Those of you who know Champ will appreciate this… I'd like to tribute the best teammate I've ever had, James Jones aka Champ. You taught me more than you know the past 2 years— what it takes to win, how to be a better teammate, how to balance the good/bad off the court, and most importantly…putting team first. Sacrifice for the better of the team, and in order to lead sometimes you have to learn to follow. You've been to 6 straight Finals. You've been the constant presence we needed in the locker room. You're the ultimate work horse. The lessons you taught me will stay with me for the rest of my career and life after basketball.

How Painful Is Giving Birth?
You've probably heard a lot of stories about giving birth. The experience is very different for each woman. The amount of pain is different for everyone. The kind and amount of pain you have changes throughout your labor.
Why Is Labor Painful?
During labor, your uterus pushes the baby down and stretches the opening of your uterus (cervix). Each time the uterus muscles flex, you may feel pain like a strong cramp. As your cervix and vagina stretch and open, you may feel a stretching, burning pain. Most contractions last 30 to 60 seconds, and you will be able to rest in between.
I Would Like Help With the Pain, But I Don't Want to Use Medicine. What Can I Do?
The flip side of this handout gives lots of tips for coping with the pain of labor. The less tense and afraid you are, the less painful your labor will be. Three things can help you labor successfully without using medications: knowledge about what to expect, belief in yourself, and emotional support and coaching during your labor.
Is There Medicine I Can Take for Pain if I Need It?
There are many types of pain relief available in a hospital. The most common pain medications are narcotics and epidural anesthesia.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Narcotics?
• They give fast pain relief (usually between 2 and 10 minutes).
• Most can be given directly into your bloodstream through an IV.
• They may help you relax and be more comfortable.
• They don't usually slow your labor.
• Narcotics do not last long (usually between 20 and 60 minutes).
• They may cause nausea.
• They may cause you to feel really "out of it" or sleepy.
• They may make the baby sleepy and make it harder for him or her to breathe right after birth or start breastfeeding.
• Narcotics don't take away all of the pain. They may make each contraction less painful.
What Is an Epidural?
An epidural numbs your body from the waist down. It involves putting a needle and then a small flexible tube into a space near the spine in your lower back. The pain medication flows through the tube and you lose feeling in your abdomen and legs. The medication will not make you or your baby feel sleepy or "out of it." However, you will not be able to walk or get up to go to the bathroom. You may have a harder time pushing your baby out, because you won't be able to feel the contractions.
How Can I Tell Before Labor Starts What Is Right for Me?
• If you plan to give birth in a hospital, you can choose to use pain medicines. First, learn all you can about how much help and what possible problems can occur if you use the pain medicines that are offered where you are going to have your baby. Then ask yourself the questions listed here. The answers will help you decide on the best way for you to keep yourself comfortable during your labor.
• How strong is my desire to give birth without using pain medicines?
• Will I be happier with my birth after it is over if I go through labor without using medicine or will I be happier afterward if I use pain medicines?
• If my labor is normal and I am in more pain than I expected, do I want my helpers to talk me through it or do I want them to offer me pain medicine?
Remember that nobody knows ahead of time how painful or difficult your labor will be. Knowing your desires is the best place to start. Then when you are in labor, you need to be flexible and trust your support persons and caregivers to help you make decisions that are right for your experience then. The flip side of this sheet has some tips for coping with pain in labor.
What Can I Do Before Labor?
• Stay active all during your pregnancy. You will have more strength to get through labor.
• Take childbirth classes. The more you know, the less you fear. Fear makes pain hurt more.
• Arrange for a birth coach or doula. Having a person whose only job is to support you will help you cope during labor and feel more satisfied with the experience.
What Can I Do During Early Labor?
• In early labor go for a walk or dance. The more you move, the less you hurt!
• Drink lots of fluids so you don't get dehydrated and eat lightly if you are hungry.
• Take a warm shower or bath.
What Can I Do During Active Labor? Find Your Rhythm.
All women who cope well during labor go back and forth between resting in between the contractions and movements that help cope with pain during the contraction. Each person has their own rhythm that works. You may
• Rest between contractions by being still or by rocking gently.
• Focus on your natural breathing. Awareness of breath relaxes you.
• Change positions often.
• Don't be afraid to make noise. You might moan, hum, or repeat comforting words over and over as you go through each contraction.
• Believe you can do it. You can!
• Remember why you are doing this. Your baby will be here soon!
What Can My Birth Coach Do During Labor?
• Help you find your rhythm and then help you during each part of it.
• Give you a back rub or hold your hand quietly.
• Offer you ice chips, water, or juice.
• Help you change positions and support your body.
• Keep the lights low and play soft music.
• Put a cold washcloth on your forehead.
• Put a warm washcloth on your lower back.
• Talk you through each contraction, supporting your movements and your noises.
• Cheer you on!
What Can My Health Care Provider Do During Labor?
• Answer your questions.
• Check your progress and give you direction.
• Assure you that things are going normally.
• Provide pain medication if needed.

St. Vincent Rum Punch
Total Time
Prep 72 hrs
Cook 0 mins
I spent quite a bit of time living on the island of St. Vincent in the West Indies and picked up this Rum Punch recipe from the Grand View Hotel there. I cut the ingredients in half as the original recipe was for a huge quantity. Also, the amount of rum and water was unclear. I interpreted the rum to water ratio as 1 part rum to 2 parts water since the original recipe does not quantify an actual amount of either. If you use a normal size bottle of rum and double the amount for the water, you should be fine. It takes a few days to make, but is definitely worth the effort.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 24 ounces rum
- 48 ounces water
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 cup lime juice
- 1 1⁄8 cups orange juice
- 1 1⁄8 cups pineapple juice
- 1⁄2 cup grenadine
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
- bitters, for color
- Mix together all ingredients and splash in a couple of shakes of angstrom bitters, then let sit at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
- Serve over ice.

great recipe! i made this for New Year's Eve. I too made a batch with coconut rum, and it added a nice tropical flair. I keep it in the fridge in case guests pop in.
Oh boy did I love this! I made 1/4 of the recipe and, difficult as it was, I waited the 3 days for the mixture to "age". What a treat I had at the end of the wait! Served over ice, this is smooth and sweet and delicious! I made part with regular rum and part with coconut rum and both were delightful! Thanks for sharing this keeper! Made for Fall PAC 2008

I could go on, but you get the idea. Any attempt to read this book as the story of Florentino and Fermina misses the point. The book is still very enjoyable that way, but look beyond the surface and enjoy Marquez' ruminations on that thing called love that drives us all crazy.
Incidentally, I think it's one of the best books ever written.
As a young apprentice telegrapher, Florentino Ariza falls hopelessly in love with the haughty teenager, Fermina Daza. Although the two barely meet, they manage to carry on a passionate affair via letters and telegrams, until one day, Fermina Daza, realizing that Florentino Ariza is more "shadow than substance," rejects him and marries the wealthy dandy, Dr. Juvenal Urbino instead.
Florentino Ariza, who has sworn to love Fermina Daza forever, is, of course, stricken to the core, but Fermina's marriage is nothing he can't handle. As one century closes and another begins, Florentino Ariza rises through the ranks of the River Company of the Caribbean and sets off on a series of 622 erotic adventures, both "long term liaisons and countless fleeting adventures," all of which he chronicled and all the while nurturing a fervent belief that his ultimate destiny was with Fermina Daza.
Fifty-one years, nine months and four days after Fermina's wedding, on Pentecost Sunday, fate intervenes and Fermina becomes a free woman once again when Dr. Juvenal Urbino dies attempting to retrieve his wayward parrot from a mango tree. Seeing his chance at last, Florentino Ariza visits Fermina Daza after the funeral and declares, "I have waited for this opportunity for more than half a century, to repeat to you once again my vow of eternal fidelity and everlasting love." Fermina's reaction is not quite what Florentino was hoping for.Read more ›
On the one hand, Love in the Time of Cholera is a beautifully written book, rich with imagery and emotive language. This is all the more impressive when you consider how difficult it must be to translate any work from one language to another and still manage to evoke the feelings that the original author intended, and for that I must give high praise to Edith Grossman, the translator for the English edition that I read.
On the other hand, there is a very real difficulty in sympathizing with Florentino Ariza, the protagonist of the novel. In his youth, he courts Fermina Daza, the daughter of a wealthy businessman from a poor family who is obsessed with social climbing. Because her father disapproves of Ariza (a poor boy who would not improve his family's social standing), their relationship consists almost entirely of love letters sent back and forth. After a long while, though, Fermina finally rejects him. Later she marries Juvenal Urbino, a doctor and a member of one of the most respected families in the city, and has a relatively happy marriage. Florentino, however, never gets over her, and continues to desire her from afar, even after fifty years, and when her husband dies, Ariza is ready to pick things right back up from where they left off.
Here is where the novel falls apart for me, though: I can believe a man could be so hopelessly in love with a woman that he obsesses over her for the rest of his life. However, Florentino's actions do not befit a lovelorn man pining for his sweetheart. Over the course of his life he has sexual relationships with literally hundreds of women, many of them married.Read more ›

Kids have some pretty interesting opinions on things, from the Walkman to coffee, so when you hear what they think about dreams it's bound to be more entertaining than most dreams are.
A Dallas/Fort Worth area family has posted a Craigslist ad offering a cash reward for the safe return of their 3-year-old daughter's beloved stuffed bunny rabbit.
Somewhere down the line in another 10 years or so, these kids are going to make the best prom dates ever.
There's no crying in baseball. Turns out there's also no long hair.
In this era when kids go to great lengths to get prom dates with celebs they ordinarily would never meet, it's kind of sweet to hear about one teen who got a date with someone much closer to him.
A horrifying scene that unfolded in China featured a man flinging a 1-year-old baby into the air.
You may not be able to start your day without a cup of coffee to get you moving, but chances are there was a time when drinking a cup o' joe turned your stomach inside out.
It may take some time, but bullied kids will turn the tables on their tormentors. That's the message being sent loud and clear in this new PSA.
This wonderful exchange may explain why little kids idolize athletes.
Most high school seniors are concerned with finding a prom date, getting gas money or figuring out where they'll go to college. These two students, though, are concerned with ketchup.
Who doesn't love it when a youngster can show off a move or two...or a dozen?

Transfer Your Terminal with Screen
Shawn Powers demonstrates the use of the screen command to resume your command line applications when you switch computers.
Screen tips
Screen, mutt, bash and vim are perhaps the tools that I cannot live without.
I've put together a short page detailing what I use most in screen, this might be of use to others:

Screen Woes on OS/X
This is probably a simple keyboard, binding issue, but just when I had swatted up, and saw the virtues of screen, I tried it at work from a terminal to another machine over ssh in OS/X and had a horrible time, with keyboard problems. Anyone else?
From OSX?
Are you ssh'ing into a Linux box, or running screen in OSX? I've never been able to use screen from OSX itself, but had an OK time if I'm ssh'd into a Linux machine...
Shawn Powers is a Linux Journal Associate Editor. You might find him on IRC, Twitter, or training IT pros at CBT Nuggets.
Thanks for the video. Nice tips! :)
Transfer Your Terminal with Screen
I like these small videos. Sometime it's a lot easier to see someone do something as they explain it than see it in print.
GNU screen is awesome
I can't live without screen these days. My nicely-configured shell turns
p hostname into
exec ssh hostname 'screen -RD' so I can quickly replace my local shell with screen on a remote server. No worrying about dropped network connections or having to back out of my shells, I just detach and reconnect later.
That Doughnut Was Tasty
It was the last doughnut in the box, and they gave me a hard time about it. :)

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Today, it was our wedding anniversary. My husband takes me and our young son to a family-style chain restaurant. Hoping for a little romance, I ask him what he's excited about in our future, and he says how we shouldn't eat out like this anymore so we can afford to pay our income taxes. FML

MacArthur Foundation helps build a long-term future for Haitian biodiversity

The MacArthur Foundation is supporting the BirdLife Caribbean Program's commitment to build the capacity of Société Audubon Haïti (SAH) with a US$250,000 capacity building grant. Société Audubon Haïti (SAH) is a registered foundation that has operated in Haiti since 2003. SAH has 17 (mostly part-time or project-funded contract) staff and over 100 volunteers who work together on a mission to protect and restore biological diversity in the natural ecosystems of Haiti and its satellite islands, through research, environmental education and advocacy programs and integrated conservation initiatives. Named after Jean Jacques Fougère Audubon who was born in 1785 in Le Cayes, Haiti, SAH carries out scientific expeditions in Haiti in partnership with many national and international institutions. Although SAH has managed to facilitate, coordinate and achieve significant advances in some areas of biodiversity conservation in Haiti (especially in the Massif de la Hotte), the conservation need in Haiti is huge and increasing rapidly as a consequence of the January 2010 earthquake. Inside Port-au-Prince, the environmental community was hit hard, and the country's already limited conservation capacity has been set back significantly. The ability of SAH to rise to this challenge is constrained by insufficient institutional capacity – a constraint that will be addressed through this project, in particular through building a solid foundation of staff (which are currently only part-funded through projects) to lead on creating a sustainable NGO future and, in turn, a better future for the country's biodiversity. The BirdLife Caribbean Program has been working closely with SAH since 2007. Projects funded by the Aage V. Jensen Charity Foundation, Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act, The Canadian International Development Agency (through Nature Canada – BirdLife in Canada) and most recently the Darwin Initiative have helped, and continue to help deliver conservation actions and specific training, but the MacArthur Foundation's support over the next 3 years will provide essential resources to strengthen SAH's institutional capacity in order to deliver long-term sustainable conservation in Haiti With less than 2% of its forest remaining, and this being lost at a rate of 10% every five years, Haiti's incredible diversity of restricted-range and highly threatened species are in urgent need of a strong and vibrant national NGO sector. The MacArthur Foundation's investment in one of Haiti's leading conservation NGOs has come not a moment too soon.

Hubby and I are heading to Newport for a last minute, long, overdue break. Recommendations on where to stay and what to do--please! We do not like B and B's that are too "frilly" and with an inn keeper hovering all the time. We would probably prefer more of a boutique hotel. As for activities--restaurants (nice ones and casual ones), bars, fave mansions, art, great walks? Please--any and all replies appreciated! Thank you!

My favorite mansion was Marble House.

Newport is fabulous - you won't be disappointed. For a nice night out, head to the Clark Cooke House on lower Thames St. You'll probably need reservations so call in advance. Great place to get your fill of the quintessential Newport scene. You may also want to check out Scales and Shells a little further down the road for some excellent seafood in a more laid back environment. Even though it's warm out I'd recommend a trip to The Black Pearl for a cup of clam chowder just because it's delicious.
In terms of things to do, pack your sneakers and plan to spend an afternoon on the infamous Cliff Walk around the shoreline. All of the mansions are spectacular so you can't really go wrong. You might want to think about doing a Viking trolley tour as well, which is a nice informative tour of the scene all around Newport including a trip out to Ocean Drive to visit all the mansions. Lots of great tidbits about local history, too.
My absolutely favorite thing about Newport is just walking around downtown, breathing in the salty air and enjoying a bit of history. Definitely poke your head in at St. Mary's Catholic Church, which is the church where JFK and Jackie were married. Better yet, stay for mass if you're so inclined. When it's all said and done and you're back at home, go read Theophilus North by Thorton Wilder and fall in love with this great city all over again. Enjoy!

AKN, thanks for such a great, detailed reply! (That is why I love this website!) AKN, do you have any accommodation suggestions? (Thanks, also to Cramachin!)

I never stayed in any hotels in Newport since I was living in an apartment so probably not the expert here. I always thought the Francis Malbone House looked lovely. It's right downtown in close proximity to everything but be warned that it's expensive. To that point, most of the B&B's downtown will be expensive since you're now in peak tourist season. If you're renting a car, you might want to consider staying outside downtown Newport. Remember that you can drive the entire state in 45 minutes so nothing is really that "far" away! Another thought here (again, haven't done this but thought of it this morning) - depending on how long you're planning to visit, you might want to look into renting a cottage for a few days. Lots of people have summer rentals available and you might be able to get a better deal if you're planning on staying for more then a weekend. Good luck!

We stayed at the La Farge Perry House and loved it. You can walk to town and restaurants from there. We liked the Brick Alley Pub and the Mooring restaurants. The Cliff walk is great.

I'm looking for a very simple canvas for python. What I really need is the ability to draw lines and circles, move them around / get rid of them, and scroll the canvas (so, I'm ideally drawing on an infinite canvas, and just scrolling it around). Ideally, the code would look like:
c = Canvas()
l1 = c.line((x0, y0), (x1, y1))
l2 = c.line((x2, y2), (x3, y3))
c1 = c.circle(((x0 + x1 + x2 + x3)/4, (y0 + y1 + y2 + y3)/4), 10)
l1.move(5, 10)
c.scroll(5, 5)
That's just some dream code, I'm fine with some minimal boilerplate, but I really don't need anything fancy, probably the only feature I would really like would be the ability to embed in some GUI that looks good on Windows (that rules out Tkinter) and is not extremely heavyweight (that might rule out GTK/Cairo).
This is in Python 2.6. I'd be happy to give any other information

I had 4 margarita's and 2 mixed drinks and i blew zero's. Its a cinco de mayo miracle.
Send us your Text From Last Night!
you were asking all the dicks on chatroulette if they had daddy issues
I fucked him in a hamburger. literally. he has a hamburger bed.
If i come home from court on friday.. i'm definitely doing something illegal.
the way i see it, im about one adderall binge away from graduating
this study room smells like vodka
the study room thinks the same about you
Well ya in hindsight obviously offering the cop a jello shot was a bad idea
the choice between paying your electricity bill and getting herpes medicine is a tough one.
I just realized I used lady gaga lyrics in my research paper on marie antoinette
Just got a lapdance on the metro. She said she was on maternity leave and needed the practice.
i just realized the only form of arm exercise i get is holding my arms up in the stand up tanning booth
You tipped the bathroom lady $20 and then yelled "IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAAAAAAAY" at her.
Bad idea pregaming graduation.... she just threw up before walking across the stage... i'm gonna miss this
and i had to drink on "never have i ever unsuccessfully tried to seduce a virgin ginger"
I need to figure out what I wanna do with my life.
There are margaritas in the freezer still.
I just wished the taco bell drive thru guy a happy cinco de mayo. Who says arizonians hate mexicans?
Halloween has nothing on dressing up as as the INS on cinco de mayo
Plus apparently whenever one of her friends loses their virginity they get a party with a funfetti cake which I found funny
Is it appropriate to get drunk, stand up at the wedding and make a toast to "the time the lovely bride asked me to come on her chest"?
our generation is not ready to get married
I'm so ready for finals. She finally agreed to skypesex me from spain so now i'm up until 4am studying every morning waiting for her to get online
I dont know why people are racist. Both the mexicans and the irish gave us holidays where everyone drinks on a wednesday.
any chance you can send me your legal ethics outline, in exchange for say, me buying you a lapdance the next time we go to the strip club?
we literally spent four hours convincing you that all 5 of your toes were there. no more everclear on a tuesday.
Good to know: if a hot girls asks to go back to my place, she probably just needs to vomit all over my bathroom
I feel like I would bang a guy with a dick piercing just to say I have...like climbing a huge mountain or somethig
She was so wet my fingers were literally pruney when I got done with her
I hated hipsters before it was mainstream.
I'm looking at pot farms on google earth. Google should be proud I found a real purpose for it to serve.

They might not actually be yankin' on anything, but the young women of Yanks, amateurs as everyday as you and me, are nevertheless showing themselves (and you) one hell of a good time. In bedrooms and living rooms and bathrooms and kitchens (and even while driving cars), the women of Yanks describe then demonstrate the various ways they bring themselves to quietly throbbing (or hugely explosive) orgasm. Who knows, maybe we'll even learn something new thanks to Yanks.

Inviting you in to indulge your wildest erotic fantasies, The Life Erotic presents nude Europe's sexiest adult models posing, preening, and prodding themselves in visually rich scenes and pictorials, in 1080p High Definition (and a hint of 4K Ultra-HD) videos, and in 5000px photo frames some of which must be seen to be believed.

Rocco Siffredi is easily one of the most famous male pornstars of the past thirty years and this, his official website, aims to show you why. Facing off against the most commanding women in all of porn, Rocco proves an alpha-male par excellence, dominating his co-stars and inviting them to try out his many male friends waiting in the sidelines to plug a pussy, asshole, or mouth under the maestro's direction. With 1080p HD videos, frequent updates to an already huge collection, and some of the most fierce fucking ever captured on film, Rocco Siffredi's official homepage is a must-see.

With most every sexy Hollywood babe seen here in at least partial undress, Mr. Skin is the ultimate online destination for any admirer of foxy female stars.
Porn has been good to Peter North. After a brief stint in the gay-for-pay world, North made his great migration over to hetero hardcore and found his true calling. Painting the faces of thousands of pornstar babes - legends like Nina Hartley and newbies like Karter Foxx among them - North and his bros have proven themselves a reliable source of quality hardcore. Now part of the HD revolution, adding tons of content every month, and likely to have you investigating load-enlarging treatments out of admiration, envy, and respect, for many porno viewers, Peter North points the way.
Hustler is known around the world for its adventurous style of pornography, a style as explicit as it is glamorous and proving as popular as it has controversial, and that style is in full flight on Hustler's official online video emporium. Now in its 18th year of operation, Hustler is still pounding out the porno with aplomb. But, what's this? An increasingly nonexclusive archive devoid of 1080p HD videos? What gives, Hustler? Are you leading the early 21st Century's first porno revolution or simply cutting a few corners?
Busty women - and by "busty" I mean those ranging from "cleavage-baring" to "unable to be restrained by conventional brassieres" - are a key ingredient in most pornography and especially that of Denys Defrancesco. A Frenchman now based in Budapest, Defrancesco has many websites showcasing his work, but none are more inviting than DDF Busty. Home to women with seemingly boundless breasts, hooters that leap from their underwire cages and grab your attention by the balls, demanding a closer look, DDF Busty is Defrancesco's chest-heavy porn emporium.

I applaud Damon Davis for being a Man of GOD and taking a stand for what is right - a return to what made this country great and the ONLY thing that can save this nation from destruction which is having faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and worshipping Yahovah GOD Almighty the Creator of the Universe.
This country is under the Judgement of GOD for this sins of 60 million abortions (murder) of children, homosexuality and sodomy, witchcraft, kundalini, reiki and pornography.
Thank You Damon for what you are doing and we stand behind you here in atlanta.
If what I said is making you manifest right now, call into our daily show broadcasting 2x a day from Atlanta - Georgia area and we can cast out your demons in Jesus Christ name and you can be free like America was intended to be - not in bondage to sin

...I was a teacher in Japan for 3 years. For the last 14 years, I've been operating my own teambuilding company. I believe in that teachers should allow students to make their own discoveries, rather than being told what to do.

Can't Book A Parisian Vacay? Get The Next Best Thing In Georgetown
With flights to Paris costing close to a month's rent (and that's if you've planned ahead), we're dreaming of making some French connections without having to dip into our savings. Thankfully, Georgetown's annual French Market, which turns a walk down Wisconsin Avenue into a stroll along the Seine, kicks off today — just in time to relieve our wanderlust woes. With neighborhood shops taking up to 70% off everything from designer duds to collectible art, antiques, and home goods, this two-day fest is très magnifique. We won't judge you if you start the day with a café au lait, break for some quiche and Camembert at Book Hill Park, and end the evening with a few glasses of red wine — in fact, we'd expect nothing less.
When: Today, April 27, and Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Upper Wisconsin Avenue NW, between P Street and Reservoir Road.

I've a small problem and I can't find a solution!
My code is (this is only a sample code, but my original code do something like this):
float x = [@"2.45" floatValue];
for(int i=0; i<100; i++)
x += 0.22;
NSLog(@"%f", x);
the output is 52.450001 and not 52.450000 !
I don't know because this happens!
Thanks for any help!
Thanks to everybody! Yes, I've solved with the double type!
