Why Women Are Gaga for Hillary
There's been a sea change in the way the public feels about Hillary Clinton since her run for president in 2008. Back then we had respect for Clinton and knew she is competent and trustworthy, but we didn't deem her worthy of the same giddy excitement as her then-competitor President Obama.
After Sandy, Why Voting Matters
If you, like me, spent any time this weekend in the areas of New York City that were ravaged by Superstorm Sandy, or if you even spent time just reading about these folks' plight, it may be a difficult and frustrating task to turn your thoughts back to the endless media noise around the election. The disconnect is huge — but at the same time, the need to vote has never been more important.
Voting: A Family Affair
Voting this morning I saw several parents with tots in tow, and it reminded me of the many, many times I took my kids to the polls. I took them strapped on to the front of me in baby carriers; I took them in strollers; I took them by the hand as toddlers; and starting when they were 2 or 3 years old, I let them move the metal lever from right to left and back again, once my vote was cast.
Women's Suffrage at 90
I almost never answer the door unless I'm expecting someone or something. I live in New York, and you can't be too careful.

I am trying to make it so that only authors I've designated can make comments. I have restricted user registration (deselected 'anyone can register'), and have limited posting comments to logged-in users. However, the comment form still appears on the post pages.
I would like to completely hide the comment submit form from visitors, or delete it from the theme and have authors post comments within the admin panel. I tried the comments hack by Jamison & Michael, but it didn't work for me (the form was still visible, only disabled, and it didn't recognized me as logged in).
Is there a way for authors to make comments other than through post pages? If not, can the comments form be hidden from non-authors? Thanks.

TALLAHASSEE -- A 1999 law shielding businesses from some lawsuits and limiting awards in court cases that are allowed has been overturned by a judge who ruled lawmakers crammed too many provisions into the measure.
Circuit Judge Nikki Ann Clark ruled that the ''tort reform'' law violated the Florida Constitution by dealing with more than a single subject.
A business lobbyist said Sunday he was pleased Clark didn't find the law unconstitutional based on its merits but on a ''legislative technicality.''
Bill Herrle, Florida state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, pointed out that state lawmakers will begin their annual two-month session March 6.
''This is the best worst news we could receive and the best timing for bad news,'' said Herrle.
All legislators will have to do is pass the same provisions -- or even strengthen and broaden them -- but divide them into individual bills, Herrle said.
''It is a very easy fix.''
Jacksonville attorney W.C. Gentry, representing trial lawyers and consumer advocates challenging the law, said he wasn't surprised by the decision.
''It's a good ruling,'' he said.
But Gentry said the single-subject requirement was more than a technicality and pointed to concerns expressed by Gov. Jeb Bush when he signed the legislation. The governor wrote that the measure's ''beneficial aspects far outweigh its few troublesome ones.''
Bush's office was reviewing the ruling Sunday, said spokeswoman Katie Baur.
Businesses hailed passage of the law in 1999 as a major victory in their fight against frivolous lawsuits. The law puts a 12-year deadline on lawsuits against most products -- although the limit is 20 years for lawsuits against airplane manufacturers over design flaws.
Other highlights include a formula to determine when a business must pay for damages in a case that isn't entirely its fault and caps on punitive damages unless a victim can prove the wrongdoing was intentional.
The Florida Consumer Action Network, the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the AFL-CIO joined forces to challenge the constitutionality of the law in court.
They argued the law denied citizens access to the courts, undercut upon the independence of the courts, treated people differently under the law -- and just did too much.

Research Institution:
Abstract78365 Free-surface, flowing, liquid-metal cooling systems are an option for the removal of heat from energy-producing fusion devices. However, these free flowing liquid films are difficult to direct and contain because of their interactions with the high energy plasma and the powerful magnetic fields present in these machines. This project will develop a, capillary assisted, thin flowing, lithium film plasma facing component on a refractory substrate. The system will provide a capillary-contained free flowing surface, parrallel lithium flow pasages for accepting high heat loads, and a refractory metal capillary and substrate surface for backup protection. Phase I will develop capilliary structures that are well adhered (wetting) to the lithium metal, develop a detailed conceptual design of the complete plasma facing component, and fabricate and demonstrate the plasma facing component with flowing lithium. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The primary application of the technology and the plasma facing component is for use in future energy producing fusion devices. The near term benefit of this type of device is to provide a test article for fusion investigators to fully understand the plasma/liquid surface interactions.

Air Canada flight makes emergency landing in Toronto
An Air Canada Boeing 777 that was headed to Tokyo from Toronto was forced to turn around shortly after takeoff and make an emergency landing Monday in the Canadian city, an official said.
"We are aware of the occurrence, we are investigating to get all the facts," John Cottreau, a spokesman for the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, told AFP. "The plane was on route to Tokyo... it landed back without incident."
Global Commercial Airframe Component Market 2016-2020
Cottreau refused to confirm a report by public broadcaster CBC that one of the plane's engines had shut down shortly after takeoff.
But he said "our investigator is currently downloading the content of the black boxes (flight data recorders)."
Air Canada Flight 001 had left Toronto at 2:10 pm (1810 GMT) with 318 passengers on board and 16 crew. It landed back in Toronto at 3:53 pm.
"The plane experienced mechanical issues... Debris, metal pieces, have fallen on cars, causing minor damages, broken windows," in Mississauga, near Pearson International Airport said police spokesman George Tudos.
Air Canada was not immediately available for comment.

Wolf Creek reopened for Easter weekend, and a spring storm moved in at just the right time. Saturday morning, leaving the hotel - heavy wet snow was falling.
Just short of the pass, and the ski area in sight. Not much snow accumulation...the snow plows had little work to do overnight.
Waiting for the ticket office to open...it was starting to snow lightly again.
In a matter of minutes it was a strong snow fall, with high winds.
As the lifts opened it was clear that very little snow had fallen. We were skiing 'dust on crust'. I stuck to the groomers in the morning, but it was falling hard enough that every run had another 1/4 inch.
Visibility was low, so I stuck to runs near the trees...better than bowl skiing, where it was white-on-white.
Above tree line the wind deposited extra snow in spots, and the old snow layer was pretty slick. Slides like this were no surprise. (Deepest layer in this slide was about eight inches.)
The snow storm was a series of squalls, and near lunch time it had stopped. Some folks took lunch outside...and then the snow started again. I chose to eat inside.
A rescue dog on patrol for table scraps.
At the end of the day, if you are in South Fork, you eat at the Hungry Logger. Note the blue sky - the storm was not as powerful as the original forecast, and we didn't get the predicted big dump. But it was still enough to enjoy turns in fresh snow.

Yes, November has almost finished and I still haven't put up what I read in October. Looking back at my monthly reading roundups you can really see where I started to lose interest and went for watching anime over more literary pursuits. I just haven't had the energy or concentration to focus on books, since at least July or so. That's the first time that's happened since I started my booklog. So this month again there are only two books I remember reading:
Deconstructing the Starships — Gwyneth Jones
a collection of essays and reviews on fantasy and science fiction dating back to the early to mid nineties. Interesting, even if I don't necessarily agree with Jones' opinions. Also interesting to read this a decade and a half after publication, with enough time passed to see which burning issues of the day sizzled out and which are still ongoing concerns.
The Rhesus chart — Charlie Stross
A Laundry novel I bought when Charlie came to Amsterdam for a book signing, but I don't seem to actually have gotten it signed. A scrum team of high end banking IT nerds independently invents vampirism, things get worse from there on out.

Shut down YankeeFebruary 21,2013
I submit Entergy is not lying. Is a child lying when they tell Santa they have been good, just to get what they want? In the child's mind keeping Santa happy is all that matters.
In a corporation where saying anything to appease the public is a way of life, is it any wonder that since litigation keeps the plant running and the profits coming in Entergy will say they don't want to go to court? That safety is the magic word needed to apply to anything that challenges their profit margins now? That past record is no indication of future actions? That trust is recognized as a place to hold money not a reliance on another person or entity to follow through on their word? That the need to fund a trust for future decommissioning is not relevant? That they would not challenge state authority over the plant and wield a team of lawyers who are doing just that in the procedural process at hand? That they can sit on their collective butts instead of being pro-active in the certificate renewal process and then claim the Legislature is responsible for the delay, not them?
Face value, simply put, Entergy is not a company that understands respect, honesty, integrity and truth — ideas still valued here in Vermont.
The sooner Vermont Yankee is decommissioned, the site cleaned up and Entergy out of our lives the better.
Deny a new CPG.
Shut down Vermont Yankee now and mandate Entergy pay the decommissioning and radioactive waste cleanup cost.

Nuclear weapons labs should Ramp up energy R&D but continue stockpile, nonproliferation work, new secretary says
Department: Government & Policy | Collection: Homeland Security
IN A SPEECH to the nation's nuclear weapons scientists earlier this month, Energy Secretary Steven Chu laid out his vision for the work done by the three nuclear weapons laboratories. This trio—Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia National Laboratories—should expand their research and development efforts both in nuclear weapons and nonweapons work, he said.
Specifically, Chu called on the labs to do more R&D related to national energy security, which . . .

Let's guard our distinctive dialect

The example I gave happened when I was 5 or 6 years old. I have never churned butter in my life. My definition of blue john᾿ was that it is milk with the butterfat removed, or skimmed milk. What my great-aunt meant is not known to me.
I guess I did not fully understand the process, but I do know what the finished product is however the fat is separated from the milk.
I do not wish to argue with my native kin. The point of the letter was that we should guard our mountain traditions and speech and not dissect them to the degree that they lose the original meaning. We know what we mean when we say down the road a piece" or hes a mite tetched" or you aint from round here, are you" We have already lost so much of the colorful dialect of the past that gave us identity and uniqueness. Peace, cousin, Im on your team.

Maybe I will not be of a lot help here, but I'll try my best.
How much is 1+1? 5? No! 1+1=2. Always was, is and will be. And this is the absolute truth. There is no another truth to push instead.
The same way is about the religion. There is only one truth about God. There only one true God. The Bible explains it all, you just need to open your heart, mind and soul to Jesus. True Jesus comes the salvation...
Find the right numbers to sum, and you will find the absolute God's truth.
I am the one who has the accurate knowledge and understanding of the Holy Scriptures. Some "people" may claim that I know too much (I wish I wouldn't)... Not confirming anything, simply decide for yourself ;)

I have a table
tdummy2, where I am importing the data from a csv file. Earlier I have set my create and update column as
now() to auto update the column with current timestamp.
I now wanted to have my data imported with date
now()-interval '7 days' and
now-interval '30 days' etc.
This update needs to happen every different csv file import, meaning I have one csv data that should get
update as
now()-interval '7 days' and some csv file data as
now()-interval -'14 days' and so on.
How can I do this using a PostgreSQL database? Should I have to do it manually every time or is there any way I can update the column at the same time the import is going on?
My current table schema:
create table tdummy2 (
number1 integer,
digit integer,
type_digit integer,
total integer,
word character varying(256),
apk character varying(256),
version1 character varying(256),
created timestamp without time zone DEFAULT now() NOT NULL,
updated timestamp without time zone DEFAULT now() NOT NULL

The Jetpack comment submission results in a 404 inside the iframe when the plugin is connected with WP.com. This does not happen if Jetpack is activated and the plugin is disconnected from WP.com.
I have seen multiple fixes for this around the internet, ranging from checking whether wp-comments-post.php is in the WP root folder and has the correct permissions, to complex htaccess/Apache server modification.
This began happening last Jetpack update. It appears to be the result of a redirect URL in the plugin that is 404ing for some reason.

Who We Are
The Alachua County Medical Society
The Alachua County Medical Society (ACMS), established in the late 1800s, is a professional and scientific organization representing more than 1000 practicing and retired physicians, medical residents and medical school students in Alachua, Levy, Dixie and Gilchrist Counties. The Society is the local affiliate of the Florida and American Medical Associations.
Membership in the ACMS is voluntary; physicians are not required to join in order to practice medicine in our area. Those who choose to join, however, do so because they are interested in the same goals as other members of the Society — quality medical care for every resident in the ACMS area and support of the medical profession.
Membership in the Alachua County Medical Society and the Florida Medical Association is open to MDs & DOs holding medical licenses in the state of Florida.
The ACMS is located in the historic Robb House at 235 S.W. 2nd Avenue in Gainesville, Florida. The building was the original home and office of Doctors Lucretia and Robert Robb, one of Florida's first husband and wife physician teams. The Robb House was restored by the Medical Society and its Auxiliary in 1982. The Robb House is also home to the Medical Museum which houses the original furniture and medical equipment and instruments used by the Robbs. Included in the collection are instruments, equipment and artifacts which have been donated to the museum by physicians and the community.
The Alachua County Medical Alliance conducts tours of the house and museum by appointment. Call the ACMS at 352-376-0715.

Nice idea =) Something totally new.
atb2005Sep 24, 2010 - 10:33
I was thinking this campaing seems to be targeting only straight people. There are many gay professionals out there, so it's not always "wife + kids" or "husband + kids". Also when they send these out, how do they know who's gay and who's not? Imagine sending this piece to, say, a gay man and he reads "wife + kids".

Read an Excerpt
Town of Superior, Michigan December 6, 2031.
The man was a big football fan, and that was why he was here, to see this game for the National Championship of Junior Colleges. But he also liked to know what was going on in the world, and now the galaxy too. He always kept abreast of the latest news developments.
He had a portable radio with him to listen to news while he watched the game. He shook his head as he heard the reporter say that General Riken, the leader of the planet Marvon, had commented that Earth needed to back off its remarks about his planet, or they could be taken as hostile words.
"Hey, turn that off and watch the game," complained another fan.
Silently, the man did so.
Alan Dartan looked up at the game clock. One minute and fifty-six seconds remained in the game. Alan glanced at the flags at the far end of the stadium. They were snapping briskly in the cold wind, Alan rubbed his hands, trying to keep them warm in the icy wind. Alan knew the wind and cold would play a part in this final drive, he needed to compensate for both. Alan knew also that they had just one time-out left; he'd messed up some plays earlier and had to call them.
His college, North Central Michigan College, was playing Mid-Colorado College for the Junior College National Championship, and it was a home game. They trailed 17-13, but now they had the ball at their own ten-yard line and still had time to drive down the field and win. As they broke the huddle, Alan looked at his teammate and best friend, Bill Menning, who was a wide receiver. They just nodded at each other. Alan called the signals, and the game burst into motion.
Bill faked going to the center of the field, and the cornerback followed. Suddenly, Bill reversed his direction, just as Alan grinned and fired the ball into his waiting arms. Bill quickly ran at an angle away from the nearest defensive player. He had caught the ball at the twenty-yard line, and was sprinting for more, 30, 35, 40, and then he was rudely shoved out of bounds. Bill got up grinning, and spared a look at the clock, still 1:40 left in the game.
Alan called the next play in the huddle, and it shocked his teammates. Was he nuts? Alan could only nod that he wasn't. They all merely nodded and stepped to the line. Alan sent out five wide receivers, watching with pleasure as the defense scrambled to cover them all. Alan quickly had the center snap the ball. Then, while the defense was still trying to react, he ran straight up the middle, without hesitation. Alan got two key blocks, and then it was a footrace. He broke across the 50, then down to the 40, 30, where he was finally forced out of bounds. He quickly looked at the clock, still 1:10 left to go. He had plenty of time yet! He called the offense together, and called the next play. As the ball was snapped, Alan rolled out, looking for someone. They all seemed to be covered. He saw that Bill was double-teamed, so Alan began to run again, as the defense swarmed to him. Alan stopped just before the line, and gunned it into a receiver who was quickly tackled at the twenty-yard line. Alan then called the final time out. Just fifty-eight seconds left now.
Alan called the next play after a quick conference with his coach.
He went back to the shotgun formation, and the center snapped the ball. But he snapped it instead to the running back. He immediately took off to run, but, as he did, he lofted a soft pass, which Alan leaped up and grabbed. He was hit instantly, getting spilled at the three-yard line. In a hurried fashion he got up, called the offense to the line, and spiked the ball. Twenty-three seconds were left, and it was now second down. Alan barked the signals, took the snap, and quickly rolled out, looking to throw. He was being pursued and had to reverse his direction, just fifteen seconds left. Time ticked away, so Alan did the only thing he could. He fired the ball. The defensive player tipped it, but Bill was there, snatching it and falling down into the end zone.
They had done it! Time had officially expired. North Central Michigan College was now the National Champion! The team ran on the field screaming, helmets flying in the air. They mobbed each other while the other team could only watch the celebration with dejection.
Fans were kept on the fringe of the field as the media began to snap photo after photo. Interviews then began with all the players. Alan and Bill joyfully granted them, but also tried to show proper sportsmanship to the other team, which had played so well that day.
They lined up and began to shake hands with the other team. What a way to start the weekend! Tomorrow night, Alan and Bill would get their degrees in the graduation ceremony. It had been a tough two years for them both. Between all the studying and practices, it wasn't easy for them to get the degrees. Two girls approached them, and they quickly began to hug them; it was Carrie Webb and Angela Gibson, their girlfriends, who were also cheerleaders. Alan joyfully hugged Angela while Bill did likewise with Carrie. Angela's long blond hair blew in the wind, while Carrie's short brown hair stayed pretty much in place.
"Let's go to Clyde's Place," suggested Carrie. It was their favorite restaurant.
"Yes, for sure!" bubbled Bill. " And I think I'll get a triple cheeseburger tonight!" he added. The others laughed, and then Alan and Bill went to change, as did Carrie and Angela. Then they were off to the restaurant.
There was a lot of celebrating going on through the town of Superior that night, as people could be heard whooping and hollering as they drove by. The foursome rolled down the windows and couldn't resist joining in. It was one of the most joyous occasions they had ever had in their young lives, and they intended to enjoy it as much as possible. A few minutes later, they pulled into Clyde's. It was a combination drive-in theater and eating facility. The food was great, and it was so much fun to eat in your car while you watched an old-style drive-in movie. It was really packed that evening as people pulled in to celebrate. Of course, this place normally was pretty crowded, but, with the victory that evening, it was even more so.
The movie began playing as they ordered their food. It was Alan who brought up the subject of saying what their future plans would be after tomorrow night's graduation. Bill shook his head at the idea.
"We already decided: after graduation we will meet on the beach and then tell our plans," he stated firmly.
"But we can't influence each other now," protested Alan, though weakly, as if he already knew he had lost the idea.
"Well," began Carrie, "the whole idea was to announce our plans late so we can't change each other's mind, and we won't change what we want to do to stick together. But I see the point, one day really doesn't matter much."

started my post-bali travels by flying to maumere, in the east of flores, my plan being to make my way back across to the western end, where i would take a boat trip to the komodo islands. this is, sorry, the backside one of the 'bemo boys' on my trip from maumere to moni. it's not quite clear from the photo, but his jeans are basically made to have the falling-down look...with another pair of jeans underneath. bizarre.
the door of my bemo. not sure what the take-home message here is supposed to be... (that is a gun and bullet holes on the 'black' logo, in case your screen is too small to see.)
we drove around town for literally two hours before finally leaving for our destination. about twenty minutes later we stopped again. to fix a tire...which actually turned out to be two tires. nice that none of the no-less-than five guys working on this bemo (minibus) thought about taking care of this in the two hours we wasted in maumere doing nothing but driving around making the tire situation worse--or, god forbid, even before taking the damned thing out on the road to pick up passengers.
fixing tire #1
my bemo from maumere to moni
benny, my sat-too-close-for-comfort seat companion, who is somehow related to the bemo but it wasn't clear he was doing any actual job on it. he also didn't lift a hand to help fix the tires.
benny insisted i take this one (again, too too close)
at various points they used the tire-fixing machine.
at first i called this guy, the main bemo boy (as probably only i call them) no teeth guy.... (note the 'trendy' glasses) unfortunately for me and soon you, he later earned a new name...
how many bemo boys does it take to change a tire...?
one tire finished! (this is before i knew there would be a second, so you can imagine my excitement, since i'd been sitting there for about40 minutes already. hopes quickly dashed.)
a very sweet-seeming and nicely dressed older man who was one of my fellow passengers. he unfortunately earned the name 'smelly guy' the minute he walked on, and i literally had to change my seat to try not to be downwind of him.
confirmation that there was indeed a second tire repair about to take place
ok, as promised/threatened: the evidence of why no-teeth guy got rechristened hairy-ass guy. believe me you are lucky you weren't there for the actual rechristening moment, when he was sitting about a foot away from me. *shudder*
next stop was the village of moni, where i visited this waterfall & had a really awful experience. i was sitting & reading when two teenage boys showed up on a path. they did the usual 'hello mister!' & i said hello but then didn't, i guess, pay them sufficient attention so the boy closest to me started to pee, which i ignored. his friend kept calling out & when i finally looked up to tell them to leave me alone, the other boy had pulled his pants down & was flashing me! i was shocked, let out some kind of sound & started to scramble to my feet, ostensibly (the only thing i could think of) to throw something at them. they ran away immediately. i was so upset & left, luckily on a different path, & felt wary of & threatened by every male over age 12 i came across afterward. next day i met a french woman who'd had the same thing happen but much worse, as she was very nearly attacked by an obviously mentally ill man on the path to the crater lakes. put my experience in perspective.
well-o-gas at the side of the road
the main reason tourists go to flores--and the only reason to go to moni--is to see the crater lakes formed by the kelimutu volcano, which change color depending on what time of year you see them. when i was there, two were green and one black. but one of the green ones is sometimes red.
Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai (Lake of Young Men and Maidens) and Tiwu Ata Polo (Bewitched or Enchanted Lake)
and then, of course, there is local legend. this sign doesn't say it, but i read this online: "...the natives believe, that, when a human being dies and has only done good things, he will find the eternal peace in the Lake of Ancestors. But if he was very evil, he will be punished whith tortures forever in the red lake. Those ones, who have done both good and evil, will find themselves in the blue lake."
Tiwu Ata Mbupu (Lake of Old People), the black one
scenery on the way back from kelimutu to the village of moni. i was going to do the two-to-three hour walk but decided my knee was not up for it and flagged down a car full of french tourists who graciously drove me back with them.
no matter how many rice terraces i see, i'm still struck by their beauty.
typical transport (though just as often there'll be a goat on top instead of people). climb aboard!
waiting by the side of the road to catch a bus to get me the hell out of moni, i had a nice interchange (and exchange of gifts! see story here: http://picasaweb.google.com/mianderingphotos/LastDaysInBali#5380819011436479058.) with a woman running a restaurant/petrol stand. her daughter and some of her school friends came over (the school was across the road and i could hear the kids singing when i first parked myself there with my backpack to wait), and of course they wanted their photos taken.
this guy wanted in on the action.
next stop in the trip was ende, which was just somewhere to stay overnight on my way to bajawa. this is inside the bemo i took from the bus station in ende to my hotel. this is very typical of dashboard decor in flores. plush pink 'love' pillows are all too common. some of the same bemos have decals of scantily clad women on the back window (though the majority are male animation heroes).
a lot of words in indonesian (and malaysian, as it's virtually the same language) are english words but spelled phonetically to match their own alphabet sounds ('c' is pronounced 'ch,' for example, so 'central' is 'sentral') but also sometimes slightly different, reflecting how they pronounce the words, which tend to lack 't's on the end ('restaurant' is 'restoran'). all of this makes for a very unfortunate spelling of cement.
in flores, almost all the trucks, buses and bemos (minivans or minibuses that are used for local and often long distance transport) have similar decals blazed across the front, sometimes two. the photo i didn't get: top decal--FERNANDO. bottom--STONER.
bintang is the name of indonesia's national beer...as well as, apparently, a political party. now there's a reform i can get behind!
this is my hair (not pictured). this is the dirt on the roads and in the air of flores (not pictured). this is my hand after running it through my hair (to get the knots out) before a clearly much-needed washing! (i once took a similar photo in vietnam, as i was so shocked to see my hands. now i'm used to it, but this time it was dirtier than the time in vietnam...and any time since. wow.)
after my time in bajawa (see separate photo album), i hopped a bemo bajawa to ruteng (to break up the 10-hour ride to labuanbajo, my destination on the far west end of flores), and ended up on a minibus full of students in some kind of marketing program that had them living in several parts of flores for several months at a time. this is nia, who was determined to be my friend even before she knew our names were almost identical. this is her friend who got called 'crazy' but nia and some others and who insisted he wasn't crazy but he was handsome (obviously not realizing the two are not mutually exclusive). i therefore christened him 'handsome but crazy,' which everyone but him really liked.
indonesian people (especially on buses) seem to love taking photos with me (and all white people), and my students were no exception. (i, on the other hand, have no love of such photos--especially when i look like this in them!)
nia, who insisted on taking my number and about a week later sent me a few text messages containing creative capitalization, including the signoff "MiZz U BeBy" (which she actually put in quotes).
is your motorcycle limp, dry and lifeless? (and perhaps too interested in what other motorcycles are doing?) you need nosy motorcycle shampoo!
there can't be a bemo, it seems, without decals on the door. not only can't i translate what it says on that guy's ass, i can't even make out the letters to read it to try to translate it.
how great is this shirt (which obviously was meant to be a converse ripoff)? oops.
random graffiti. nice. (and no, i don't think 'hitller' with the two 'l's means anything in indonesian.)
this is a gas-fired coffee-roasting machine in back of the agape cafe in ruteng, flores. the lonely planet says you should ask to go in the back and see their machine. it never would have occurred to me to actually do so, but a foreign couple was there at the same time as me and urged me to go back there after they did. the photo doesn't really do it justice, as the one thought i had upon seeing this monster was: willie wonka!
I can't attest to whether this is, in fact, NASA quality. It looked too rough so I bought a nicer-looking roll, whose brand name was, in fact, 'Nice.'
like the ngada people in bajawa, the manggarai people of ruteng have little men on top of their houses as well. this is not a real house but a model constructed on in island in the middle of a road in town. unclear what the building is for (you would think tourism office, but there was no such sign).
the komodo island boat trip (see separate photo album) left me on the island of lombok, where i stayed for a day in mataram, and took some photos in a mall and in the supermarket in the mall. this one is for my friend lois.
i guess airplanes are considered macho, but...cockpit? oy. tv commercial to come: 'he uses that soap? watch out!'
oops! i ate those crackers again! (and...fugu?)
even though in this case, 'cal' means calcium (asia seems to be obsessed with biscuits and crackers fortified with calcium), there is just no way you'd ever have a snack food called 'hi-cal' in the west.

|Doc Rivers says Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce are good to go Saturday
|05.05.11 at 3:04 pm ET
WALTHAM — After a lengthy film session and practice Thursday at their facility in Waltham, Celtics coach Doc Rivers pronounced everyone ready to play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Heat at TD Garden.
Most notably, Shaquille O'Neal – according to Rivers – will be able to make his playoff debut for the Celtics after missing the first round and first two games of the Heat series with a sore right calf. Rivers said Paul Pierce also will be able to play, despite a sore Achilles that cropped up during the Game 2 loss Tuesday night in Miami. Pierce, however, was held out of Thursday's practice as a precaution.
"Everybody's good," Rivers said. "Everybody is feeling pretty good. Shaq went through practice. We didn't do anything today, we just watched film and walked over [some] stuff. Then, the second unit worked on their stuff but right now, we expect every single guy, including Shaq, to play in Game 3.
"Honestly, today, [Pierce] could've played in a real game but we were not going to let him practice today because his foot, Achilles, is bothering him but he would be fine."
Rajon Rondo (back) and Ray Allen (bruised chest) took part in Thursday's workout and are also expected to be ready. The Celtics will practice again on Friday before taking on the Heat Saturday night, trailing the best-of-7 Eastern Conference semifinal series, 2-0.
|Carmelo Anthony channels Bernard King, and why the Celtics should pay attention to history
|04.20.11 at 7:24 pm ET
It's becoming fairly obvious that if Carmelo Anthony doesn't carry the Knicks, this series will be over in four hard-fought games.
The Knicks have two very banged up stars in Chauncey Billups and Amar'e Stoudemire, both of whom are very questionable for Friday's Game 3 at Madison Square Garden as the Celtics lead the series, 2-0, and need just two more wins to advance to the Eastern Conference semis.
The thing is Anthony almost DID do it by himself in Game 2 Tuesday. He scored 42 points and grabbed 17 rebounds. But that wasn't the first time a Knicks star put the team on his back and carried them.
All Knicks fans either remember – or have been reminded of – captain Willis Reed in Game 7 limping onto the court at Madison Square Garden, inspiring his team to a NBA title-clinching win over the Lakers in 1970.
But the more appropriate and obvious comparison is to No. 30 Bernard King.
The year was 1984. The Knicks were on the road at Joe Louis Arena for a decisive Game 5. They were underdogs and Isaiah Thomas was electrifying the crowd. But King didn't flinch – even with the Detroit crowd going nuts.
He poured in 44 points to lead his team to an amazing 127-123 overtime win and a ticket to the Eastern Conference semis against the Celtics.
But what make Bernard King's performance truly amazing was that it was the fourth straight game of at least 40 points, even with everyone in the world knowing he was getting the ball. Starting with back-to-back 46-point games in Games 2 and 3, King was the best player in the series. He followed that up with a mundane 41 points in Game 4 before lighting the board for 44 in Game 5. Take a trip down memory lane with Marv Albert and John Andraiese, both of whom are still broadcasting NBA games 27 years later.
In 1984, the Celtics were on a playoff run that ended with an electrifying win over the Lakers in Game 7 in the NBA finals. But Boston's 15th NBA title nearly didn't happen. King had 43 in New York's Game 4 win at MSG and 44 more in Game 6 back in New York to force Game 7. The Celtics eventually survived the Knicks in seven fierce games. Sound familiar?
What was it like for Melo on Tuesday night, trying to do for his Knicks teammates what King did 27 years ago?
'It was fun, for the most part," Anthony said. "We were out there fighting man. My teammates stuck with me, I had confidence in them. It was just a battle. It came down to a couple of plays down the stretch, but for the most part throughout the whole game I think we played fantastic.
"Defensively we did, offensively I kind of had it going tonight. I made other guys better, they felt confident out there when they got the ball to make something happen. KG hit a tough shot over Jared, contested shot. For the most part we played great tonight. We can't hang our heads over something like this. We've got to take this and build on it going back home.'
And Anthony repeated his mantra of Game 1 that the Celtics didn't do anything special in winning the first two games. They just held serve.
'There were some things when you look back you say 'We could have done this, we could have done that, we could be up 2-0 if we did some things right,'" Anthony added. "For the most part, we are playing our [butts] off. We're playing great. For some guys, this is their first time in the playoffs and for them to be stepping up to the plate like that, taking on the challenge against a championship team like the Celtics, we're doing great. The Celtics didn't do anything special, they won 2 games on their home court. Now it's our turn to do the same thing.'
|Rajon Rondo isn't happy with the win but he and the C's will take it
|04.20.11 at 12:35 am ET
You score 14 points in the first quarter, 18 in the first half and 30 for the game. You're the point guard and your team just won a playoff game to go up 2-0 in a best-of-7 series. You'd think you'd be pretty pleased.
Not Rajon Rondo on Tuesday night and not the Celtics.
'We're not happy with the win but obviously you'll take any one you get in the playoffs," Rondo said in his patented calm tone. "But we know we have a lot to improve on. There are so many areas."
Like rebounding, where the Knicks beat the C's, 53-37, including 20-9 on the offensive glass.
"They destroyed us on the glass," he said. "Obviously, without Amar'e [Stoudemire], we had to help a lot, but we've got to crack back, and our guys have to do a better job of boxing out the bigs. As a team overall, we have to do a better job at rebounding the ball, that's been our problem throughout the season. We escaped tonight, another one, but nevertheless, we got the win.'
But it wasn't all bad. As a matter of fact in the first quarter, Rondo showed he was ready to take over the game, scoring 14 points, including 12 on lay-ups as the Celtics were getting out in transition at will against the Knicks thanks to Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
'I just thought, Kevin and Paul gave me great outlet passes and I tried to attack the rim,' Rondo said. 'I think I tried to attack Game 1 but my layups were getting blocked and I didn't make a couple. But tonight I made them, I stayed aggressive, I tried to expose them because I don't think they did a great job getting back in transition. But they made an adjustment, in the second half I tried to go to my guys, Paul, Ray [Allen], and Kevin.'
The tempo was so fierce at one point of the first quarter, Rondo signaled to coach Doc Rivers that he needed a break. Who could blame him? He was running up and down the court at will thanks to the Knicks and their ole' transition defense.
'I just got tired in the first quarter, at like three minutes, I think it was like 3:59 actually, because like I said I was trying to push the pace and I got a little winded," Rondo said.
But Rondo made a point of saying he didn't tire in the second half when the game was on the line. Rondo wound up playing 42 minutes, just three less than captain Pierce.
"I told Doc to give me a rest. As soon as I was ready I came back in to start the second quarter, but after that my wind was fine. D-West came in and gave me a little breather off the ball. I'm comfortable playing the minutes I'm playing. It was just that first session was like a track meet.'
|Amar'e Stoudemire's back picks a really bad time to act up
|04.19.11 at 11:49 pm ET
Knicks superstar power forward Amar'e Stoudemire couldn't have picked a worse time to experience back spasms for the first time in his career. After tweaking his back during a dunk in warmups, Stoudemire said he felt the twinge get worse during the first half.
He was limited to 2-of-9 shooting in 18 minutes and finished with just four points as the Knicks couldn't quite overcome his absence in a 96-93 loss to the Celtics Tuesday night at TD Garden.
'I believe it happened in warmups," said Stoudemire, who had to stand for his postgame press conference because his back was still so tight. "I touched the top of the glass with my left hand and dunked it with my right. I think that's when I felt it really get tight on me.
"I could hardly move. I was trying to play through it. I went to the trainers and staff, was getting worked on there before the game, right before the national anthem I got up and stood up for the anthem and tried to get a little more work done. I just couldn't get quite totally loose. I tried to play on it and pushed through it, but for the most part, I played the first quarter and second quarter, after that it was a sharp pain and I couldn't continue.'
Stoudemire said this was the first time in his career he experienced the injury and is hoping treatment in the next two days will have him ready when the series resumes Friday at Madison Square Garden.
'I never had back spasms before, so I guess it's just a normal back spasm," he said. "Take time for it to relax, but I should be ready for Game 3. I'm not sure, we'll see how it goes tomorrow, and the next day, and then I'm pretty, sure hopefully I'll be ready to go by Friday.'
Stoudemire watched from the TV in the locker room as Carmelo Anthony almost single-handedly led the Knicks to victory.
'Yeah I was getting treatment for the full second half," Stoudemire said. "I watched the game on the TV screen, but meanwhile I was getting treatment the whole time. I was trying to loosen up the back, trying to get ready to come out there in the second half or third quarter. I just couldn't get the back to release hardly any. It took awhile for me to get comfortable, still in somewhat pain now. But hopefully, in the next few days, it will release.
'They played great," Stoudemire said of Anthony. "Carmelo shot the ball extremely well tonight, something that we needed. And the rest of the guys stepped up to play, they played great tonight. That's something that we need, hopefully some confidence from tonight's game will grow for Friday."
|For one game, Paul Pierce schools Carmelo Anthony, and Melo is unimpressed
|04.18.11 at 1:21 pm ET
One NBA superstar looked the role of having been in the playoff spotlight.
The other blinded by it late in the game when it mattered.
One executed his team's final play to perfection and the other heaved up a desperation shot, hoping it would go in.
For one night, Paul Pierce got the best of Carmelo Anthony.
Aside from the second quarter, when Anthony scored 12 of his 15 points, Pierce completely frustrated and shut down Anthony. And in the second half, Anthony made just one of his 11 shots, finishing 5-for-18. But Anthony wasn't falling over himself to praise Pierce afterward.
"As far as Paul Pierce, the matchup, I don't think he did anything out of the ordinary or special tonight as far as defending me," Anthony said unimpressed. "I think the Celtics, they were themselves, they load the paint up, every time I caught it, they loaded the side up, they shifted court.
"I missed some shots I normally make, I'm not too concerned about my individual performance or anything like that. As a team I think we did a hell of a job of just competing out there. We did some things great for the most part of the game, we got back and look at some film, make a couple adjustments, and get ready for Game 2. I'm excited about this series though.'
Pierce was in the right place at the right time as Anthony lost his composure with 21.0 seconds left, flailing his elbow toward Pierce and getting called the offensive foul.
'As far as that offensive foul goes, what I thought and what they called was two different things," Anthony said. "So, it is what it is, he called it and it's over with." Read the rest of this entry »
|The game-winner was nothing new for Ray Allen and the Celtics
|04.18.11 at 12:24 am ET
Ray Allen had no hesitation in letting the game-winning 3-pointer fly from the left wing with 11.6 seconds remaining, needing just a 2-pointer for the lead. Allen broke free from a screen and flashed open in time for Paul Pierce to find him and feed him the ball for the shot that gave the Celtics an 87-85 win in Game 1 at an electrified TD Garden Sunday night.
'Due to the experience that we have, having played together, we've ran that play many times in different situations," Allen explained. "Sometimes the shot goes in, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes Paul has the ball in his hands and he shoots it and he scores it. There are so many different options off of that play that when we went to it, we knew exactly what to expect.
"We don't pre-determine, me setting the screen getting Paul open, sometimes he gets the layup all the way to the hoop. Sometimes my guy switches and I end up being open, Baby [Glen Davis] or Kevin [Kevin Garnett] clean up a guy and I'm open at the 3-point line, or [Pierce] rolls and he is wide open. It's a play that has so many options and tonight, I was just the option. If I could think of every shot that I hit to win a game in a Celtic uniform Paul has probably been the guy that has passed it to me."
Allen finished with a team-high 24 points after not taking a shot in seven minutes of playing time in the first quarter.
|Doc Rivers says the excuses are 'all gone'
|04.15.11 at 5:17 pm ET
WALTHAM — Celtics coach Doc Rivers is hoping Shaquille O'Neal returns to practice on Saturday after watching from the sidelines on Friday as the team began full-scale practice preparations for the Knicks Sunday night in Game 1 of their first-round series.
'He was doing good. He sat pretty well today, looked good over there," Rivers said tongue-in-cheek. "It was terrific. He watched the entire practice."
Rivers said the team is managing O'Neal's calf injury as carefully as possible before letting him get back on the court.
"We knew that, we planned that," Rivers added. "[Saturday] we'll see what he can do. He did some of the walk-through stuff but I just don't want to take a chance. We'll find out [Saturday]. 'He'll practice hopefully and then we'll make a decision after that.'
Delonte West (ankle) and Jermaine O'Neal both returned to full-scale practice on Friday and Rivers said both are ready to go for Sunday.
'Delonte's fine, everybody else is fine," Rivers said. "We're 100 percent except for Shaq. Everybody else is pretty good and that's good.' 'We watched film for about an hour and a half [Thursday]. Then we walked through for another half-hour, 45 minutes but we didn't do anything live."
Friday was critical to Rivers because of the work accomplished in practice. Saturday figures to be even more significant.
"Today was a hard, long live practice. Everybody's rested, every team is rested. There's no excuses. It's all gone. 'It was a good that they could get their mind set on one opponent and walk through the game plan. Today we got to do a lot of live stuff. [Saturday] we're going to do even more live stuff.
'With this new group, we've never [practiced that hard]. The worst part of the trade was the timing of the trade and the schedule, it just didn't mesh for us. We never had days off, we never had practice time and then we had the injuries. At least now, I'm cutting out literally half of our offensive playbook. I've made a choice to run a couple of things well than a lot of things average and poor and so that's the route we're going.'

Hi all! :wavehello:
I'm not sure if anyone even vaguely remembers me, but I used to be quite active here. It's been ages since I was here, I am fully aware of that, but I just wanted to drop by and say hello. I'm doing well, I graduated from college in September and now I'm looking for a job. All is well on my side, in other words, and I hope you are all doing equally well.
Before you ask: no, I am not returning to PT, I'm very very busy with other stuff. (The usual boring old excuse, but there are only 24 hours in one day and I do like to sleep for about 8-10 of them.:wink: ) For now I would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a jolly good New Year. My best wishes to you all for 2007!
Lots of greetings,
Tommie :wavingsanta:
