String Theory: The Kennedys + Carrivick Sisters
The Kennedys
In a career that now spans two decades, New York duo Maura and Pete Kennedy have traversed a broad musical landscape, surveying power pop, acoustic songwriting, organic rock rooted in their early days in Austin, and a Byrds-inspired jangle that drew the attention of Roger McGuinn, Steve Earle, and most notably Nanci Griffith. The duo co-produced Nanci's latest CD, and toured the US and UK in 2012 with the Texas songstress.
'Byrdsy jangle, boy-girl harmonies, irresistible' (Rolling Stone).
The Kennedys tour dates
Carrivick Sisters
Twins Laura and Charlotte from Devon first started performing as a duo in 2006, and in 2007 won a busking contest and a spot at Glastonbury and turned professional. They play guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro and fiddle, sing and harmonise wonderfully and perform with an expertise and maturity way beyond their tender years. Their background is in bluegrass but with a strong folk influence evident in their original songs which are inspired by their local landscape and stories.

I have a MSI Wind U100+ Netbook that is duel booted with Windows XP and Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
For version:
cat /etc/issue gives: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) \n \l
uname -r gives: 2.6.30-9-generic
Everything works great except the touchpad in Ubuntu does not want to perform the 'tap-click' action. The option is enabled in: Preferences -> Mouse -> Touchpad. The touchpad works in Windows XP and when I booted into an Ubuntu Live environment via USB. So I know the hardware actually works and that it is just a config issue.
Changing the window mode from netbook remix to ubuntu desktop changes nothing.
If possible aim answer towards a new Linux user please.
Thanks in advance.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Another uncredited assortment of minor notoriety, and ten minutes short of the advertised running time. The unofficial theme is "blondes who've never made it." Which, ipso facto, means we can't identify the various bun-muffins that Ron Jeremy, Marc Wallice and Jonathan Morgan are stuffing. Don't worry, these scenes aren't that ass-tounding, anyway. With Max Steiner's pork roll in her posterior, Davia Ardell is the best sausage-case of the tape. Holly Body cums in second as she takes on an anonymous partner.

In February's PHOTON International, SEIA president and CEO Rhone Resch writes about the solar Investment Tax Credit and smart public policies in the face of tax reform.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Illinois Rural Electric Cooperative Opens Solar Facility
Illinois Rural Electric Cooperative held a ribbon cutting for its new 500 kilowatt solar facility which is located south of Winchester on Illinois Route 106, next to one of the substations that serves the cooperative's 7,800 members. The installation is the first utility-scale photovoltaic solar energy system by a cooperative in Illinois.
Johnson and Salerno: Nevada is Cashing in on Renewable Energy
While Americans know wind and solar energy are clean, they often aren't aware of the economic success story behind these renewable-energy technologies. Wind and solar power have economic benefits that reach far and wide. They have become increasingly affordable, attracting billions in private development, and today are both mainstream and reliable energy sources across America.
SEIA Urges White House to Preserve Solar ITC
Calling it "a huge step backward," Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), said President Obama's 2015 fiscal year budget, which was unveiled today, would severely damage the U.S. solar industry by eliminating the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and replacing it with a refundable Production Tax Credit (PTC) at the end of 2016.
Colorado's Largest Solar Power Facility Coming to Pueblo
A developer of wind and solar energy facilities will build a 900-acre generating station on grazing land about 2 miles southeast of Pueblo. Going into operation in summer 2016, the Comanche Solar project, near Xcel's Comanche substation, would be Colorado's largest solar farm and one of the biggest in the nation.

Saudi America: the dangerous fallacy of US energy independence
The year is 2020. The United States is on the cusp of a golden age, there's peace in the Middle East, and the Texas oil tycoon is suddenly back in the saddle.
Solar-powered plane aims to fly around the world
In 1903, the Wright brothers became the first men to fly. Twenty-four years later, Charles Lindbergh became the first to fly over the Atlantic. Coming soon...another possible breakthrough.

That and a couple strategically placed electronic voting machines...
That's pretty lousy advice. It's obvious he just got lucky getting Bush elected (and he cheated the first time).
So, will you guys be announcing an endorsement in time for caucuses?
He doesn't address Edwards. Probably because he's not a front-runner...but it could be that Rove doesn't want to draw attention to the candidate the R's would least like to have as the nominee.
Am I wrong to hope that Rove has a massive stroke within the next month either killing or severely crippling his thought and speech patterns?
I don't care if he's not in the White House anymore, the guy is a menace, cheater, liar, and manipulator.
At this point, I don't see how a formal endorsement will mean anything to regular Slog readers. I mean, why even bother as long as it's a Democrat, right?
Fuck Karl Rove. Fuck that douchey son of a bitch. He was the 'architect' for Bush, or so they say? Look how well that turned out, fuck what that pompous fucking asshole thinks. God, I can't believe people still listen to what that washed out fucktard thinks!
The resaon the GOP will still win in November has to do with the electronic voting boxes that are designed by Diebold who is a major contributor to the GOP.
But I know the Stranger (which has gone mainstream) is in denial that voter fraud is even an issue. But feel free to vote, Diebold will choose who you really wanted to vote for.
Actually, surprisingly enough, I think that the guy is completely on target. Even with Huckabee, the Republicans could hammer the nominee in exactly this way and pick up the middle-of-the-road voter.
For me, it's just another sign that the Democrats as a whole are not seeing the forest for the trees. We need a candidate that isn't just the first (fill in the blank) candidate, but also one that most of middle America believes could run the country. None of the top three have that experience.
@8, we thought we had that candidate but we could not get him to run for office this time around. **DAMN YOU AL GORE!!**
@2 is right; it's getting more and more obvious that Rove is nowhere near the genius that he's been billed to be. How'd his "math" work out in 2006, when he claimed that the GOP would hold onto Congress...?
Bookmark that editorial and remember this fall to read it again for a good laugh.
Forgot to mention his hilarious line about the GOP appealing to blacks, Latinos and union voters. OMG, so fucking funny.
I hate Rove as much as anyone but I think people are getting a little to complacent in dealing with him. Rove's record comes down to this: his evil worked in 2000, 2002 and 2004. And we are not even looking at the races in Texas he won/maniputlated. Are we really thinking that his screw up in one election year (and not even a presidential election at that) makes him a total failure?
Is he a factor? I am not sure but until he start a trend of failure it is best to take the side of caution.
Great.. So reading between the lines, it sounds like the film editor loses out to the resident wingnut and we can expect HRC to get picked up for DUI anytime now.
@4, I'd prefer spontaneous human combustion, but would settle for the options you listed.
15 months ago Rove claimed he had some sort of super secret polling that indicated that the GOP would make gains in the House and Senate in 2006. Didn't happen, Turdblossom.
He's becoming America's answer to Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf (the former Iraqi Minister of Information). "There are no Democratic infidels in Washington. Never!"
Hmm, smears and lies. Now that's a new strategy!
I hope the Stranger didn't go with "no and no" this time.
So why hasn't Squeaky Fromm killed Karl Marx Rove yet?
the double wrestling team of bill and hillary make a sausage grinder look and smell
each represent the worst not only in politics but in the most basic, decent human qualities.
both are liars, hustlers, cheats, and they're arrogant, conceited and coninving, besides, just for starters.
they are the absolute worst slim immaginable.
they will do anything to stay in
power, but rest assured, they are
low lifes and trailer trash, to the max.
the ONLY thing they care about is their
lowlife power hustle.
they are the absolute scum of the ear

I am a recent Boston transplant from Seattle. There are more Dunkin Donuts locations here than people. Brand loyalty does not begin to describe people's connection to this chain. It borders on Jihad.
So when can I get "brown-brown" at Starbucks?
"Bourgeois bohemian" pretty much sums up Starbucks... not that there is anything wrong with that to each their own. The book sounds like it tells an important story. A book that would be lost in a bookstore Feature display. Bourgeois and proletariat alike would maybe look at, amongst perhaps a dozen or two. At least it has visibility of being the only book on display. But it is Starbucks, so the cynicism behind the motives is pretty much part and parcel for the course. Thanks for letting me know of its existence, it does sound like an interesting read.
Hey Stranger -- A bit off-topic, but funny when juxtaposed to your post.
I used to be able to pick up The Stranger at the 5th and Pine Starbucks forever until I was told that they were no longer carrying free papers any more. I'm not really a Weekly fan, but and them and you have been missing from their customary spots in the front window there for a month now. Cookie cutter? Corporate? Edgy? Pshaw.
Are you going to guess? Yes, I actually am one of those people who drop my dollars where I can get my free rag on Wednesdays.
Ladro at 8th & Pine. They're local, too.
Hey, better to promote a book like this than a lot of things corporations do when they start losing customers.
A lot of DD's marketing hinges on portraying itself as the anti-Starbucks. No fancy-pants macchiato, just plain "coffee".
Yeah, DD's commercials are awesome. They Might Be Giants songs are the soundtrack, and John Goodman does the voiceovers.
My favorite is the one that directly takes a shot at starbux: "i don't understand these words, is it french or is it italian? perhaps fritalian?"
As a former employee of SBUX, I was amused by this post. You never know what that company is going to do.
I think it's lame you can't pick up a local free paper at Starbucks. That's exactly the reason people think they have nothing to do with their community cause the don't. I want me some "Eat the State" and "Stranger" too.
I grew up on the east coast, and I miss Dunkin Donuts terribly out here. There used to be a DD downtown on 3rd when I moved here, but no more. Yay for Dunkin' Donuts!!
Yeah, "I'll have the Venti Iced brown-brown Macchiato, no whip."
The only reason people like DD coffee so much is that they're downing it with a half-dozen doughnuts. It's a silly comparison anyway, since drip coffee is a minor part of SB business nowadays.
Dunkin Donuts' drip coffee is also, surprisingly enough (or not), of a much higher quality than what you're served at Starbucks.
Unless you drown your DD coffee in tons of sweetener and milk/cream it tastes like CRAP.
ah, the coffee wars - I like it cold and three days old - from the pot where brewed
nice strong taste - back to the basic coffee thing - saves energy ( hey all you Stranger greenies, beat that) and at my office it is all mine, no sharing
start with the cheapest thing on sale at the cheap of cheaps, Grocery Outlet
this is not a joke, go ahead and puke
love it - gets me perky and ready to eat my gruel for lunch
forgot - that bluish redish shinnyish sheen is an added bonus when unbroken while pouring
and I reuse grounds many times - just adding some new - you learn how much and when to start over with brewing experience
how do I frqanchise?
Sir GoodyGrief....."and it tastes like CRAP"
have heard this all my life, now here at Slog, please, oh please, all adults - what does CRAP taste like?
And is it registered with the Bureau of Measures and Standards?
Good Grief -- that's why everyone orders a Regular Coffee. It's 2 sugars and 2 measures of milk. Classic DD.
We could use some Tim Hortons around here. Are there any?
Most of the time the only starbux coffee that I get are the free bags that are sometimes handed out or friends give me. Otherwise I buy whats pretty much the cheapest and brew like eric does.
I try to use half-decent coffee -- no better, no worse -- and brew it fairly weak, and drink a ton of it. I'm not averse to the cold three-day stuff either. Every time I go to a Starbucks I can't taste the coffee flavor, and I get the stupid jitters.
That's with drip; anyone who drinks espresso any other way than straight up (after 10 AM at least) deserves to be sent to a labor camp.
But I don't understand the premise of this post, which seems to be that the corporate soullessness of Starbucks is an acceptable reason to blow off a serious attempt to get people to read an important book.
i don't care if they attach a $100 bill to the inside of the book. There is no way I'm going to be book shopping at Starbucks.

I don't want the divorce and I discovered we have to take separate parenting classes, but I can't afford them. Can I make my wife pay for the classes?
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
I think you either have to pay for them or you can ask them if you can file an application for a reduction of payment or a payment waiver. You still have to take the class.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
When you don't want the divorce, the whole process feels even more unfair, but Colorado is a "no-fault" state and you are still required to pay for parenting classes. The average cost is approximately $40-80 unless you are talking about extended classes, which can range from $600 - $1200. In the case of the standard class, I have never seen the court order that the other spouse pay for it. In the case of extended parenting classes, which are frequently ordered when there is a great deal of conflict, I have seen courts order that the parent with more money pay a disproportionate amount of the cost. By the way, you DON'T have to take separate classes and, if you have a modicum of communication, it is often a good idea to take them together so you both hear the same things... Good luck.

It's Time for Lindsay Lohan's Ankle Monitor Again
It places the monitor on its ankle or else it gets the jail again.
Lindsay Lohan turned herself over to authorities this morning to begin her 35-day house arrest for stealing a necklace. What, you've never been confined to the lap of luxury? All the alleged repeat offenders are doing it. Technically, Lohan is in the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office but will be serving out her sentence at a $7,100-a-month Venice beach rental. A spokesman for the sheriff's office said: "Miss Lohan came over for a booking this morning around 5 a.m. where it was determined that she was eligible for her ankle monitor." Under the terms of the confinement, Lohan must stay in her house 24/7 but will not undergo any blood or alcohol testing and can have as many visitors as she likes. Don't get any ideas, Mr. Rabbit.

There are many reasons for couples to renew their wedding vows.
Many times, couples who were married at the courthouse want a REAL wedding ceremony. Renewal ceremonies are frequently given as a gift from children—as a 'thank you' and acknowledgement, perhaps for the time, effort and expense put into their own wedding.
It is a fact that many marriages 'fail' when it is simply that the initial romance has faded, little grievances and hurts have built-up and there seems no way to get past it all. A Renewal of Vows ceremony is both a re-affirmation of the thoughts and love that first brought the couple into marriage and a renewal from which past mistakes can be left behind.
Sometimes, a Renewal of Vows ceremony is the foundation for a family reunion.
Here are some thoughts to consider as you plan your ceremony:
- The ceremony is frequently held on the couples' anniversary date.
- It can be as formal or as casual as you wish.
- Most of the wedding ceremony wordings can be easily tailored to a Renewal of Vows ceremony.
- If the original wedding vows of the couple are available, these can be most meaningful and significant.
- This is an excellent opportunity to involve children (young or mature) in the ceremony through participation in the lighting of the Unity Candle, exchange of roses (or medallions) or in other appropriate ways.
There are few other actions that will rekindle a marriage like a Renewal of Marriage Vows ceremony.
No license is required. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the couple will be presented with a Keepsake Folio containing a signed and sealed certificate (suitable for framing), a printed transcription of the ceremony and an audio CD recording of the proceedings.
For more information on a Renewal of Marriage Vows ceremony, please contact me.

Artist Oliver Balf Remembered | My Father's Canvas
We made peace, my mom and I, very quickly after the dust-up. A day after her comments and my obvious hurt, she reached out, saying she liked the invitation after all. I doubt she did, but nothing for her was worth a fissure in the family. I began to see her side of it, too: how the judgments she made were because she was answering to her husband, trying to measure up as a spouse of 58 years, just as I was trying to measure up as a son. "When you're married to an artist," she once told her college-age granddaughter, "their first love will always be art. It was always hard." She was simply guarding my dad's love; every decision was filtered in a way that poignantly asked, What would Ollie have done?
The show began to take shape as our family met weekly through April and into May. We added and subtracted from my mom's first pass. There were private paintings she didn't see as "show" paintings, several of them on the walls of her bedroom. "They don't have to be for sale," Tom suggested. "What are we talking about?"
We walked into her bedroom and saw the majestic watercolor of Eastern Point; it was clearly the show's signature painting. On the far walls there were pictures of my mom—he'd done so many—but the colors were elegantly muted, drawn in the half-light of dawn when he was returning from a night-shift job at the Globe. My mom and dad had argued often when I was a kid; household expenses were tight, a painting career was sliding. But this portrait of my mom struck me—it was utterly different, utterly adoring. It had to be in the show. My mom blushed.
A couple of days before the May opening, we descended on the Art Association with three cars loaded with paintings, carefully stacked amid heavy blankets. There was already a banner at the doorway and a poster in the glass-encased events box next to the walkway. I was particularly attentive to a three-foot-tall posterboard featuring a black-and-white photo of the young artist and the biographical text I'd written for the show. I didn't want it to get dinged; it was to be mounted at the alcove entrance to the gallery. The photo looked the way I wanted him to feel: strong and at ease, relaxing in our small backyard in front of his then-working studio. You could easily imagine him back from a day of watercoloring, all the little accidents of the medium adding up to something worth quietly celebrating.
In the text I'd given his background: born in Rye, New York; raised on the Cape as a painter, where he found a community that launched not only galleries but a new idealistic art college for painters, by painters. I told how his acceptance into the Art Association had been an early success, but that the exhibit of his first painting had been a crushing disappointment—it didn't sell—so he'd painted over it in dismay. I guess I wanted people to understand how much he cared, then and for the rest of his career, and how secretly hopeful he was that his first love—his art—would be loved in return. He'd confessed as much in an unpublished artist's statement I'd found among his papers. He'd said that all artists want to be admired and recognized, and he was no different. With every painting not sold and every exhibit sparsely attended, he walked an emotional tightrope—stubbornly having faith that his time would come, but fearing that he wasn't good enough and it might not.
"Do you want to do it or do you want me to?" asked Carol, the petite, hard-charging curator, as we paused with 50 paintings leaning against walls and seemingly acres of blank wall space in front of us. It was awkward. For weeks we'd been developing a mock show on PowerPoint slides, not sure how else to see the show. There wasn't much in the DIY world for organizing your own art retrospective. For all my get-the-experts-in sentiment, I'd changed. I didn't want to cede control to anyone, and Carol was good enough to let us have at it.
We were all stunned when the show was hung. It had taken so long to assemble, but it went up in a flash. Little accidents worked themselves out; pairings we hadn't seen in the slide show organically presented themselves. Dad's discovery of the Cape came first—the sloping headlands at dawn, the great dragging fleet on the Gloucester waterfront, the granite totems of woods-cloaked quarries—and then life at home, and in memories, and, finally, the last work, placed in a nook at the show's end: the sweetheart roses, all five of them, not for sale.
A few nights later came the opening—and, other than Mom's jazz-standards soundtrack not playing, it went off splendidly. Everyone seemed to come out. "It feels like he's here," I heard someone say. "He is," her friend responded, gesturing across the gallery. Some assumed that the bright colors were indicative of a uniquely happy man. I knew that wasn't exactly the case—but maybe they were the work of a hopeful man. For me, the highlight was meeting an artist friend of my dad's who, because of a long-running feud, hadn't set foot in the Art Association for 40 years. "I'm not all that comfortable," he told me, "but I'm glad I came in." My dad was a wonderful man, he said, and I knew that a man with an undimmed 40-year-old grudge wouldn't just say that. He thought the show looked dynamite.
My mom wore a long floral-print skirt and a white blouse, accented with a corsage we'd given her. She looked relaxed—pleased at the enthusiastic reception, comforted to be surrounded by artwork that spanned their life together. She'd been unflagging in the many months leading up to the show, teaching herself to frame (and not without consequence to the fingers her flying hammer found). She'd even sat for an interview with a Boston Globe reporter, going off the record to explain the chance, faintly illicit first meeting she'd had with my dad at a Rocky Neck jazz club—a meeting she'd downplayed, since she was seeing someone else at the time. My brothers and I loved that story, and the fact that they married a mere eight weeks after their first official date, capping it with a wild honeymoon in Chicago, where the virtually penniless newlyweds lobbed water balloons from a high hotel room in celebration. She'd given her time, her fingers, and a few of her secrets to see this through. And I think she knew that by any measure—her own, ours, my dad's—she'd done well.
That night, and over the course of the show's four-week duration, the response was amazing. A town lobsterman offered $2,000 for a painting of a classic fishing shack: $1,000 cash, $1,000 in lobster. My friend Brad, who tended to be a tough critic of my dad's work, allowed how he'd seen a watercolor in the show that blew him away, that he never would have guessed my dad had done. It was the one of my mom. In a gallery walk, the guide, Ron Straka, analyzed the paintings to a large and attentive crowd, sharing how my dad had once explained his expressive work as a reaction to his immigrant upbringing, where he was often told not to say too much and to get along.
People said they'd never seen so much joy and happiness in a gallery. They seemed to react to the works for the pure feelings they presented. All the little things we might have done better in terms of presentation didn't seem to matter or detract. Someone put a reserve on a painting I'd found only days before at the bottom of a dusty storeroom pile—just like me, smitten enough by the subject that the age spots and irregularities were ignored. Another bought a beautiful harbor scene, inexplicably signed twice. Imperfection, at least on this night, was perfection. When the show ended four weeks later, the curators told us it was one of the biggest-selling one-man shows they'd ever held.
I was pleased by the show's commercial success and that we'd done it as a family; it wouldn't have been the same had my acclaimed art panel put the exhibit together. When we took the show down at the end of June, we were all a little melancholy, aware that there was probably no next show. We all felt his loss in the blank empty walls. We'd fully immersed ourselves in my dad's creative life and now we had to move on.
To an all-family lunch I brought along a beautiful letter I'd unearthed: a letter from my dad to a struggling young artist. My mom wept gently when she read it, feeling all over again his passion for being an artist—and for becoming one. It occurred to me that we'd created something not unlike a painting, and not unlike the imperfect process my dad knew and loved. "Delight in the surprises," he'd implored in the letter. I think we finally had.

I successfully downloaded a new theme and was using it, but then tried to download another one. But when I switched to the second theme, all I got was a blank page (www.taffystay.com). I went back to the Themes page, switched it to a couple of other ones, which all showed up fine. (Well, when I would "view site," the page would just be blank. The images/text wouldn't show up until I reloaded the page. But at least it worked.) But it is only with this theme, titled "Neat!" http://www.aamukaste.org/wpthemes/?cat=3 that doesn't bring up ANYTHING on my page.
Has anyone encountered this, and how can I fix it? Thanks!

Fruit and vegetable consumption represents a nutritional goal to prevent obesity and chronic illness. To change dietary behaviors, people must be motivated to do so, and they must translate their motivation into actual behavior. The present experiment aims at the psychological mechanisms that support such changes, with a particular focus on dietary self-efficacy and planning skills. A randomized controlled trial compared a theory-based psychological intervention with a health education session in 114 participants. Dependent variables were fruit and vegetable consumption, intention to consume more fruit and vegetables, planning to consume more, and dietary self-efficacy, assessed before the intervention, 1 week afterwards, and at 6-week follow up. Significant group by time interactions for all four dependent variables documented superior treatment effects for the psychological intervention group, with substantially higher scores at posttest and follow-up for the experimental group, although all students benefited from participation. To identify the contribution of the main intervention ingredients (self-efficacy and planning), regression analyses yielded mediator effects for these two factors. A social-cognitive intervention to improve fruit and vegetable consumption was superior to a knowledge-based education session. Self-efficacy and planning seem to play a major role in the mechanisms that facilitate dietary changes.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are one victory away from reaching the Western
Conference finals and have two opportunities to get the job done. The
Thunder, who lead the series 3-2, aim to end the festivities in
Thursday's Game 6, while the San Antonio Spurs visit town in dire need
of a victory to force a Game 7.San Antonio has held double-digit leads in the each of the past two games before wilting under Oklahoma City's late-game siege. "I hope we respond a little angry, with a chip on our shoulder," Spurs guard Danny Green told reporters after Tuesday's 95-91 loss. "If you want to be a championship team, you have to win on the road. Simple as that." The Thunder surprisingly have won two games in San Antonio in the series - the Spurs lost just once at home during the regular season - and small forward Kevin Durant said another defensive effort like the showing in Game 5 is crucial. "Late in the fourth we did a good job of putting a hand up on shots, making them shoot mid-range and we didn't let them get in the paint a lot." Durant told reporters. "That's what we have to do if we want to win the next one. We have to play defense like that throughout the whole game."TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNTABOUT THE SPURS: NBA MVP runner-up Kawhi Leonard (26 points, five steals in Game 5) and power forward LaMarcus Aldridge (20 points, nine rebounds) have carried San Antonio during the series with occasional help from shooting guard Danny Green (six 3-pointers in Game 5) and point guard Tony Parker (good outings in Game 3 and 4). But the reserves have been below par and combined for just 11 points on 5-of-18 shooting in Game 5 and getting better efforts from players such as shooting guard Manu Ginobili and center Boris Diaw are a must if San Antonio is to win the next two games. "We haven't had great bench production," Popovich said after Game 5. "We need a couple more people to help us offensively. That would be great."ABOUT THE THUNDER: Point guard Russell Westbrook had 35 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists in Game 5 and was so superb that everybody overlooked his eight turnovers. "He plays with such force and such passion," Oklahoma City coach Billy Donovan told reporters. "I think he's doing a really good job of realizing when he gets so intense, so competitive, so emotional, he's doing a good job of kind of bringing himself back together and understanding there's four other guys out there depending on him." Durant scored 23 points on a series-worst 8-of-21 shooting effort in a dropoff from his spectacular 41-point effort in Game 4.BUZZER BEATERS 1. San Antonio averaged 112 points in its two victories and 95 points in the three defeats.2. Oklahoma City C Steven Adams has been a difference-maker with three double-doubles while averaging 10.2 points and 12 rebounds in the series. 3. Green had 20 points in Game 5 and is 16-of-29 from 3-point range in the series.PREDICTION: Thunder 97, Spurs 95

In SQL Server RDS, you have DBO access to your databases and the ability to schedule jobs, but that is about it. Amazon is now your DBA. Restoring or renaming databases, setting up replication, etc. is restricted.
RDS is very restrictive. Many of the vanilla SQL Server standard features are not available on RDS. But you can use the Cloudbasic tool on the AWS Marketplace to replicate RDS. It works even for RDS SQL Web Edition.
Found the answer in the Amazon documentation. The replication feature is currently not supported.

Minimally invasive telerobotic surgical systems enable surgeons to perform complicated procedures without large incisions. Unfortunately, these systems typically do not provide the surgeon with sensory feedback aside from stereoscopic vision. We have, thus, developed VerroTouch, a sensing and actuating device that can be added to Intuitive Surgical's existing da Vinci S Surgical System to provide auditory and vibrotactile feedback of tool contact accelerations. These cues let the surgeon feel and hear contact with rough textures as well as the making and breaking of contact with objects and other tools. To evaluate the merits of this approach, we had 11 surgeons use an augmented da Vinci S to perform three in vitro manipulation tasks under four different feedback conditions: with no acceleration feedback, with audio feedback, with haptic feedback, and with both audio and haptic. Subjects expressed a significant preference for the inclusion of tool contact acceleration feedback, although they disagreed over which sensory modality was best. Other survey responses and qualitative written comments indicate that the feedback may have improved the subject's concentration and situational awareness by strengthening the connection between the surgeon and the surgical instruments. Analysis of quantitative task metrics shows that the feedback neither improves nor impedes the performance of the chosen tasks.

BLUF: Little second baseman that can hit and has solid overall potential.
The Player: Kolten Wong (2B, St. Louis Cardinals) – A first round pick in 2011, Wong hit .335/.401/.510 in his 47-game debut at the Low-A level. During that stretch he knocked 15 doubles, two triples and five home runs while walking nearly as much as he struck out. Promoted all the way to Double-A this year, he finished with a .287/.348/.405 line in 126 games with 38 extra-base hits and 21 steals.
Basis of Report: Compilation – Industry Contacts
Scouting Report
Body (5-9, 190): Small frame, good strength, above-average athlete. Good physical conditioning and more strength than his size suggests.
Hit: Small strike zone and good approach allows him to work deep into counts and find pitches he can barrel. Good bat-to-ball skills. Adjusts to different pitch types with ease. Will occasionally get out front on CH thanks to slightly exaggerated leg kick, but handles FB and breaking ball very well. Handles velocity. Quick hands and good bat speed. Shows ability to spray ball to all fields, line drive machine. Plus potential with additional game experience and adjustment to big-league caliber secondary stuff. Very little polishing required, nearly mature hit tool. Grade – 50/60
Power: Sprays line drives with ability to get it into the gaps but lacks legitimate power. May approach 8-10 home runs in big leagues. Should also contribute 20+ doubles and a handful of triples. Not a significant part of his game but not completely lacking either. May take some time to manifest in big-leagues so initial power output may be in 30-grade range. Grade (raw power) – 40/40
Arm: Good arm for second base. Can make throws on the run with zip. Shows ability to make throws from deep behind second base and on the pivot. Generally above-average arm with frequently plus grades for the position. Grade – 60/60
Fielding: Very good defensive second baseman. Has first-step quickness that enhances above-average range. Can show range to both glove side and behind the bag. Very nice hands. Excellent instincts for the position. Heady player. High-quality defender with plus ability. Already very polished. Grade – 60/60
Speed: Decent but not great runner. Doesn't get out of the box well but shows average to solid-average speed to first once underway. Runs hard and gets aggressive on the bases. Average speed plays up in the field because of instincts first-step quickness. Average run that should be sustained long term. Grade – 50/50
Summation: Solid all-around player. Only really lacking power for complete compliment of tools. Hitting ability is standout tool with potential to hit .280-.285 with high contact rates and average walk rates. Should fit nicely as a number two hitter with gap power and an aggressive style of play. Heady, instinctual player in all phases. "Gets it." Offensive approach continues to improve as he adjusts to more advanced pitching. Not a significant stolen base or power threat but will chip in with both throughout season; possibly picking up 20 doubles, 8-10 home runs and 10-15 steals. Defense is plus with good range, good hands and an early understanding of positioning. Arm plays at plus level. Very good overall defensive profile. Solid all-around player that relies on hit tool to carry the profile. Should be a quality Major League player for an extended period of time.
Relative Risk: Low. Polished hitter that is adjusting quickly; well-rounded skill set; success at upper levels.
Future: Could impact the big league club late in 2013 and should cement himself as a solid everyday player by 2014. Needs limited polish at the plate as he gains exposure to more advanced pitching but should be ready quickly.

A sporting gesture put two-time champion Beholder on a plane to Belmont Park last week for the brewing rematch between her and 2013 Longines Kentucky Oaks winner Princess of Sylmar in the $1 million Ogden Phipps June 7.
The two met on neutral ground at Churchill Downs in the Oaks, when Princess of Sylmar came away with the victory and Beholder finished second by half a length.
But at the end of last year it was Princess of Sylmar who left her East Coast base to tackle California-based Beholder in the Breeders' Cup Distaff, and Beholder, a 4-year-old daughter of Henny Hughes trained by Hall of Famer Richard Mandella, emerged triumphant at Santa Anita Park. Princess of Sylmar faded at the end of a long and impressive 3-year-old campaign that included four straight Grade 1 victories for owner Ed Stanco and trainer Todd Pletcher. She has since come back with a solid season debut in the Cat Cay Stakes April 6 at Aqueduct Racetrack.
"This is a huge race," Pletcher said. "It's a Breeders' Cup quality field, and it's exciting. We're very respectful of how good Beholder is and Close Hatches. At the same time we're excited about the opportunity to get to run against them on a track where Princess of Sylmar has had success."
This is Princess of Sylmar's playground, where the 4-year-old Majestic Warrior filly won the Beldame Invitational last September over champion Royal Delta before ending her streak in the Breeder's Cup. This time tables are turned, with owner B. Wayne Hughes of Spendthrift Farm putting Beholder's reputation on the line for her first start outside of California across the wide old "Big Sandy" oval.
"That's what racing is about; they don't leave them in the stall and talk about it, you have to actually do it," Mandella said one morning, keeping a watchful eye on Beholder as she circled the shedrow of Barn 27 on the Belmont backstretch. "It's not an easy race, I know how good both of these fillies are, and I'm sure there are some other good ones in that bunch as well, but I couldn't love my filly any more. She's done more than we've ever imagined, so we're just excited to be here."
Beholder, a five-time grade I winner striding quietly along with her hotwalker under a light brown barn sheet while cooling out from her first New York breeze June 2, gave Mandella one less thing to worry about. With her final pre-race preparations complete -- four furlongs in a maintenance :49 ⅗ seconds under Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens -- if all went well she would sail into the 1 1/16-mile contest worthy of her status as the favorite at 7-5. In her first and only race so far this year, she blitzed the April 20 Santa Lucia Stakes by 5 ¼ lengths geared down to the wire.
On June 4, Beholder drew post 5 in a field of six older fillies and mares, with Princess of Sylmar assigned the 6 hole at 9-5 and multiple grade I winner Close Hatches drawing the rail at 5-2. The race is a "Win and You're In" challenge event for the Breeders' Cup Distaff.
Juddmonte's Close Hatches could steal the show from her more accomplished rivals, as she is undefeated this season and comes off a wire-to-wire victory in the April 11 Apple Blossom Handicap after taking the March 15 Azeri Stakes, both at Oaklawn Park. The 4-year-old daughter of First Defence was second to Beholder last year in the Distaff by 4 ¼ lengths after winning back-to-back Grade 1 race, the Mother Goose and Cotillion.
Longshots Classic Point, Belle Gallantey, and Antipathy complete the field, but as far as likely winners go, the race is Beholder's to lose against Princess of Sylmar -- her very able foe.
"She looks great, settled in good, had an easy breeze over the track, so I don't think we could be better," Mandella said of his charge. "She's very mature and as her record shows, she grew up pretty fast. Now she's just kind of settled into a groove, and hopefully that groove is as good as it was."

Griffith MP and former PM Kevin Rudd laughs off speculation about ambitions during launch of water initiative
- From: The Courier-Mail
- October 04, 2012
FORMER Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has brushed aside suggestions some in the government may be uncomfortable with his recent spate of high-profile public appearances, while a key figure in his removal from the top job has described the incident as "water under the bridge".
The Member for Griffith was joined by Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk, Federal Liberal MP for Brisbane Teresa Gambaro, Central Ward Councillor Vicki Howard and South Australian Labor Senator Don Farrell who played a key role installing Julia Gillard as PM in 2010 in Windsor this morning to launch a joint federal-local water harvesting initiative.
An article in today's The Courier-Mail suggested some in the government were uncomfortable with Mr Rudd's return to the media spotlight, referencing an unnamed figure close to Ms Gillard who reckoned the PM would have to "crush" his ambition once more before the election as his high-profile ways degenerated in to "farce".
Mr Rudd declined to respond at length the the report during the political love-in but said he would continue working for the community.
"Coming out here with the Lord Mayor is going to generate global publicity," joked Mr Rudd.
"All I'm saying is we're out here doing local stuff for the local community. Come on, give us a break.
"I also have a degree of interest in this (water initiative) because when we launched this as part of the 2007 election this was to go nationwide and I have been very pleased to see how it has worked.
"So in answer to your question, mate, if I'm out here with the Lord Mayor and others and the Parliamentary Secretary for Water announcing good news for local people... frankly it's good for them.
"Good for local families, good for communities, good for sporting organisations, so I'll be at it like a flash."
Mr Rudd stopped short of saying the joint appearance represented reconciliation between himself and Mr Farrell.
"Water is well and above beyond politics, Senator Farrell has been doing an excellent job in rolling out this program nationwide," he said
"Senator Farrell and I have an excellent professional relationship and this is what today's all about."
Mr Farrell said he wished to focus on the announcement of the scheme.
"We're very pleased to be here today with Mr Rudd and the local Lord Mayor to launch this fantastic project, that is going to be great for Queensland," he said.
"It is water under the bridge."

Associated Press
NEW YORK — Hard to believe this is the same Rafael Nadal who was home during the U.S. Open a year ago, nursing a bad left knee.
Hard to believe this is the guy sent packing in the first round of Wimbledon in June, losing against someone ranked 135th.
Looking fit as can be and maybe even better than ever, the No. 2-ranked Nadal pulled away from No. 1 Novak Djokovic 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 on Monday in a taut, tense U.S. Open final for his 13th Grand Slam title.
"Very, very emotional, no?" Nadal said during the on-court trophy presentation. "Probably only my team knows how much (this) means for me."
They started in sunlight and finished at night, a 3-hour, 21-minute miniseries of cliffhangers and plot twists and a pair of protagonists who inspired standing ovations in the middle of games.
"Probably nobody brings my game to the limit like Novak," said Nadal, who collected $3.6 million in prize money, including a $1 million bonus for results during the North American hard-court circuit.
There was no quit in either of them, during points that lasted 15, 25, even more than 50 strokes. Those rallies went so long, rarely over when they appeared to be, and spectators often shouted out during the course of play, prompting Nadal to complain to the chair umpire.
This was their 37th career match against each other, the most between any two men in the Open era, and Nadal has won 22. It also was their third head-to-head U.S. Open final in the last four years. Nadal beat Djokovic for the 2010 title, and Djokovic won their rematch in 2011.
They know each other's games so well, and play such similar hustle-to-every-ball styles, but in the end, it was Nadal who was superior.
"He was too good. He definitely deserved to win this match today and this trophy," Djokovic said. "Obviously disappointing to lose a match like this."
Nadal improved to 22-0 on hard courts and 60-3 overall in 2013 with nine titles, including at the French Open, which made him the first man with at least one Grand Slam trophy in nine consecutive seasons. The 27-year-old Spaniard's total of 13 major championships ranks third in the history of men's tennis, behind only Roger Federer's 17 and Pete Sampras' 14.
"Thirteen Grand Slams for a guy who is 27 years old is incredible," said Djokovic, who owns six himself. "Whatever he achieved so far in his career, everybody should respect, no question about it."
Nadal no longer wears the strips of white tape he once did to bolster his left knee, and the way he covered the court against Djokovic — switching from defense to offense in a blink — proved that while he says he still feels pain in that leg, he definitely does not have problems moving around.
These are the same two who played the longest Grand Slam final in history, a nearly six-hour struggle that left both needing to sit in chairs during the ceremony after Djokovic's victory at the 2012 Australian Open.
This time, when it ended with a forehand into the net by Djokovic, Nadal dropped to his back on the court, saluted by an Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd that included the Queen of Spain.
Nadal was relentless from shot to shot, yes, and from point to point, too, but what might have been most impressive was the way he stayed steady when Djokovic recovered from a rough start and began asserting himself.
At the outset, Djokovic was his own worst enemy on many points, a touch or two off the mark. Nadal claimed 12 of the last 14 points in the first set, with Djokovic looking almost bored.

Food Book Fair 2014 2015Wythe Hotel
80 Wythe Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Cookbooks are only a portion of what you'll find at this hearty celebration of food writing, reading, and activism. Founded in 2012 by Elizabeth Thacker Jones, an NYU food studies grad student who heralds the rise of a new breed of foodie, the Food Book Fair features a bounty of books and periodicals, as well as cooking demonstrations, thought-provoking discussions, and screenings. This year, 60 visionaries, including renown coffee master Tim Wendelboe, Museum of Food and Drink's David Arnold, cookbook author Bryant Terry, restaurateur Christophe Hille, and Lucky Peach editor Peter Meehan, debate topics such as financing your food endeavors, race and food, GMOs, and the evolution of the cookbook. Also on tap is a pop-up brew pub, a food book slam, a magazine fair, a multi-course dining experience at Egg celebrating To Kill a Mockingbird, a pitch competition for food start-ups, and a lecture and umami celebration with biophysicist Ole G. Mouritsen. There's certainly plenty to chew on at this three-day fete. For complete details, check the fair's website.

I'm about to dive into the wonderful world of wordpress.org - I've had my own wordpress.com blog for some time now.
Anyway, I've parused the themes area of wordpress, and done searches online for wordpress themes ad nauseum.
I'm going to try and set up a very small, company website using wordpress.org. I'm looking for themes that aren't 'bloggy'. They are more artsy or corporate. I'm a little overwhelmed with all the choices out there, and since blogging is the primary use of wordpress, most themes are bloggy looking. So for every 200 themes I look at, maybe 1 or 2 aren't bloggy.
Does anyone have any recommendations for themes, or sources of themes that are more design or corporate, rather than blog?
thanks all

Children's Health
Depressed Adolescents Need Longer Stretches of Therapy
John Sargent, MD, dean of the Karl Menninger School of Psychiatry and Mental Health Sciences in Topeka, Kan., had high praise for the study.
"What I am getting from the study are several things: that there are degrees of severity of depression in teen-agers; that it is often a chronic condition, that in teen-agers who are depressed, [most] recover with treatment, which is good; [and] that CBT leads more to recover initially but not over time. The degree of family conflict, degree of hopelessness, degree of functional difference ... those variables have a lot more to do with how the teen-ager does over time."
Sargent goes on to point out, that in terms of length of therapy offered, the initial research "did exactly what most insurance companies provide [for], and what they found is that it works for half the people. And that is pretty awful." Sargent, who is also the director of education and research at the Menninger Clinic, was not involved in any of the research.
The next research project for Brent and colleagues is to study the various options for treatment of depression in adolescents who fail to respond to the ever more common use of antidepressants.
The study was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Mental Health.
Vital Information:
- One-fifth of adolescents who are treated for major depression with 'talking' therapy remain depressed after 2 years, regardless of the type of therapy used.
- Initial research showed that cognitive behavioral therapy worked better than either systemic behavioral family therapy or nondirective supportive therapy, but the new research shows that the effect is not sustained.
- Researchers interpret the findings to imply that depression should be seen as a long-term disease.

Hi, I don't know if this is specific to Weaver only or all Themes.
I uploaded some test Header images then decided to keep only those that I wanted.
Having found no way to delete those unwanted images, I've gone into FTP and manually deleted them from wp-content/uploads folder.
Now my Header section includes a few blank Header images and I can't find a way to remove them.
It is not so much a problem but I would like to use the Random Header feature.
Thanks for all WP guru's help.

"I am STILL PLUGGED IN!"If a device requires a power cord to work, it presents a weakness, especially in the case of a Killer Robot, Powered Armor or other machine that needs to move around. But even stationary ones that have the cords running where people can trip on them can play this one for drama or laughs. Alternately, the cord is just a few inches too short to reach the outlet, and there's no time to find an extension cord. Very often intersects with Cut the Juice, when the plug is pulled, although the plot can also revolve around preventing that from happening.
— Master Mold, stopped from escaping a doomed base by a literal example of this trope, on X-Men: The Animated Series
open/close all folders
Anime and Manga
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- The titular EVAs need an external power source to operate for more than a minute at full capacity or five minutes in a weakened state, and an early episode even has Shinji do a power cord transfer at one point to move into an area that his current cord doesn't reach. An attempt was made to copy the S2 engines the Angels used, with disastrous results—although it was implied to have been sabotaged. Unit 01 ends up just taking one directly FROM an Angel.
- In the third film, Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0 Q, this problem had been overcame with portable batteries (granted they had a 14-year time frame to invent one).
- In Digimon Tamers, the D-Reaper starts out as an amorphous blob of goo, but learns to make solid constructs by absorbing a video camera. Because it was plugged in, all of the D-Reaper's "Agents" are attached to the main mass by very long cords. Cutting the cords at first greatly weakens Agents, but eventually cutting a cord is all it takes to make any Agent instantly revert to gunk. However, the larger ones have multiple, gigantic cords and so it's easier said than done.
- Pokémon had an episode in which Meowth got a Humongous Mecha in his own image (it's actually somewhat closer to a tank with a big Mecha-Meowth strapped on). Clemont pulls the plug on it, only for Meowth to subvert the trope by switching to a diesel generator.
Comic Books
- In the Marvel Comics New Universe title Spitfire and the Troubleshooters, where the fugitives are attacked by a robot tank. While the heroine fights it in her Mecha, the Troubleshooters frantically try to stop it themselves by trying to hack into its remote control frequency, but they can't find it. It turns out that the tank is controlled and powered through a really long physical power cord from the operator, so hacking into its control function through radio waves is impossible. Fortunately, once they know this trick method, that means Spitfire then just needs to find the cord to cut it and stop the tank.
- Toward the end of the Laff-A-Lympics giant comic book "The Man Who Stole Thursday", the villain Mr. Mastermind has a mainframe computer that he intends will remove all days from the calendar except his birthday. While Mr. Mastermind brags about every day being a testament to his superior intellect, Captain Caveman disables the computer by unplugging it from the wall.
- Not an electrical power cord, but Bane's venom-tubes are a very vulnerable point. In most of his appearances throughout all Batman media, expect them to get severed or damaged at some point.
- In the film Help!, a Mad Scientist has a lab full of assorted devices, but keeps having to change the plugs to work with the power supply.
- Back to the Future: Doc Brown needs to connect a power line from the top of the clock tower (where the lightning bolt will strike) to ground level, where the DeLorean will use the energy to travel through time. Unfortunately, the power cord isn't long enough to do the job, so he has to improvise.
- Since the eponymous weapon in The Jackhammer Massacre is electric, this crops up. But not very often, since the cord seemed to be absurdly long.
- The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl contains perhaps the most literal example; some of the cronies utilized by Mr. Electricidad are literally powercords. This seems too easy, right? Reach the maximum distance they can stretch and you can beat them easily. Have no fear, though: They can plug into other powercord mooks for a shocking train of baddies.
- In The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear, Drebin accidentally defuses a nuclear bomb by tripping over its power cord, after shouting 'Let's get out of here!' with only 2 seconds left on the countdown timer.
- Hiding in the basement from the drill-toting killer, the main character in The Slumber Party Massacre picks up a portable circular saw and tries to run with it upstairs to confront him, but it comes unplugged before she manages to get on top of the stairs. She then picks up a machete instead.
- In Mr. Nice Guy, while fighting in a construction site, a mook tries to attack Jackie Chan with a circular saw, but the cord is too short.
- According to the Star Wars Expanded Universe, the first lightsabers suffered from this. They had to be connected to a belt-worn battery by a power cord.
- Subverted in the Ciaphas Cain series, where Ciaphas ends up dueling a malfunctioning combat servitor. He aims for one of its power cables, but it's armored too thickly for his chainsword to go through.
Live Action TV
- On The Office, Michael wanted to build a robotic memorial statue of his old boss, Ed Truck. Dwight suggested giving it a short power cord so it couldn't kill them all.
Newspaper Comics
- In one FoxTrot arc, Roger bought a giant mobile phone that needed to be plugged into the mains to work. Andy pointed out how that defeated the 'mobile' part of 'mobile phone'.
- Get Fuzzy. In the strip for February 26, 2013, Bucky has come up with a wacky invention: a fan that's attached to a person's backside to keep their wallet from overheating their bottom. Rob Wilco wears it as a test, but complains that he can't move far due to the 3-foot power cord plugged into a wall socket.
Tabletop RPG
- Paranoia
- Adventure Send in the Clones. One of the R&D devices the Troubleshooters must test is a belt device that generates a force field around the wearer. One of its limitations is that it has to be plugged in to work, which will severely limit the user's mobility.
- Adventure "The Yellow Clearance Black Box Blues." The Troubleshooters are issued a Maxwell-Effect Moleculokinetic Field Device. It requires huge amounts of power to activate (too much for easily portable sources like power packs), so when the Troubleshooters go Outside of Alpha Complex they'll have to plug it into their vehicle's power supply. This will effectively prevent them from using it while away from the vehicle.
- Supplement Acute Paranoia, adventure "Me and My Shadow Mark IV". When the Mark IV warbot was first designed, Power Services insisted that be powered by a long cord attached to their generators. Since the Mark IV was intended to operate in the Outside beyond Alpha Complex, this demand was ignored.
Video Games
- Splatoon: According to one of the Sunken Scrolls, the Great Octoweapons used by the Octarians during the Great Turf War would have secured their victory over the Inklings if it hadn't been for one key weakness: A plug being carelessly pulled from its socket.
- In most of From The Depths' instant action missions, the player is confined to being within range of a Heartstone on their ships, aircraft, or fortresses; step outside the radius or lose the heartstone to damage, and the player will slowly run out of power as their vision fades until they die. This naturally prevents the player from engaging in Boarding Party actions on enemy ships, as they'll die from power loss before they can take over the ship. However, in the Wide Open Sandbox campaign and in a few instant action missions the player is free to move around without needing a heartstone on a craft.
Web Animation
- The Robot from The Homestar Runner Enters The Strongest Man In The World Contest is taken out of the titular contest when The Cheat unplugs him. This is lampshaded in the animated remake ten years later, where the outlet is located on a tiny piece of wall jutting out in the middle of the field they're in.
- In Girl Genius, Anevka is a clank (robot) body created for a fatally injured noblewoman. She needs to stay connected to the large container where her actual body is kept in stasis. Near the climax of the story arc, the cables are cut and she freaks out when she feels no different — it turns out the real body is long dead inside the container and she has become an autonomous A.I. with Anevka's memories
Western Animation
- The Megadoomer in Invader Zim, which was a robot death machine that had to be plugged in for power due to a dead battery.
- On one episode of Teen Titans, Starfire travels to a Bad Future where the Titans ended up splitting. Cyborg was the only one who stayed on the tower, because he had long ago burned all of his internal batteries, so he had to be constantly plugged to a large machine to keep functioning, and couldn't go anywhere. He comes back to help by toting around a large external battery and and repairs them at the end of the episode—Starfire returning to her time possibly preventing said future from happening in the first place.
- One episode of Carl Squared has the protagonists being chased by a doctor wielding a power drill. He chases them across the street and the power cord reaches its limit and pulls the plug out of the outlet. The doctor laments about not spending a few extra bucks to purchase the cordless version of the drill.
- In the Looney Tunes short "Ducking the Devil," Daffy Duck tries to calm down the Tasmanian Devil with music and lure him back to the zoo. His first attempt is with a radio ... except the cord doesn't reach all the way.
- One Wile E Coyote And The Roadrunner short had, as one of the Coyote's ideas to catch the Roadrunner, to chase after him on a skateboard with a sail, which would be funneled with an electric fan. The absurdity of him somehow finding a power outlet in the middle of the desert aside, there's only so much cord that will allow him to travel... And yep, it unplugs just before the Coyote sails over yet another cliff. Inertia and gravity then do the rest.
- In The Brave Little Toaster, the appliances need to find a way to leave their cabin to find their master, but need to stay close to an outlet to stay alive. The solution: a car battery attached to a rolling chair.
- A strange mystical example happened in the animated version of Conan the Barbarian in which Conan fights a near-invincible foe only to learn he is powered by a wizard using what is essentially a magic, invisible power chord of mystical energy. Defeating the foe involved finding a way to sever the energy connection.
- A very odd case in Turtles Forever: The main weapon on the Technodrome, after Utrom Shredder modified the building, is taken out... by Bebop and Rocksteady tripping over its power cord. Then, Utrom Shredder walks in front of the damn thing when they plug it back in!
- The page quote is from Season 1 of X-Men: The Animated Series. Master Mold, attempting to escape from the dam-based factory in Genosha, takes a few steps from his chair, but finds out that he's plugged in by the back of his leg. The page quote is his last words before he's swept away by the raging waters.
- In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Blind as a Bat," an explosion temporarily blinds Bruce Wayne. He carries on anyway with an infrared headset (how it works isn't explained that well) that plugs into a power-cell on his belt or a port on the Batwing's main console. Naturally, the power cord breaks right before the climax. Batman still saves the day by determining the Penguin's location with sound (banging on walls, throwing wrenches, etc.)
- In the King of the Hill episode "Sug' Night," when Dale learns that Hank had an Erotic Dream of Nancy, he angrily threatens to throw a toaster into Hank's hot tub while he's in it, but the cord is too short.

What a tragedy and did not have to happen. Why would they put more people in there than there are seats? Why take chances with precious lives for a moment of fun? I don't understand the carelessness especially when there are children involved. So sad. I hope they find those two young women.

If the boat was overloaded, then there probably wasn't enough room for life
preservers either. If the boat was overloaded, then handling the boat while
driving could have been a factor in a channel with water flow of houseboats
compared to a motorboat. That is another impact of budget cutting with not as
much enforcement of the various agencies at a National Park type of area. Utah
and Arizona want the tourists in counties that don't have much else for
business but sacrifice on servicing those that need help.
Lake Powell has had some deaths that could have been preventable. Parks have risks but they can be more manageable with better supervision on such an immense property and so much acreage without another person. This is like traffic in Salt Lake with big trucks operating or even parking and cars going 60 MPH in downtown. Even police on bikes can help control traffic but motorboats have potential of speed plus center of gravity problems with overloading and waves from over traffic. It is like going 60 MPH in SLC on an icy and very windy day. Getting caught in quicksand is not fun but the hike is beautiful.

So did you teleport down to Powell for your investigation to determine the boat was overloaded and did not have enough life preservers? There are plenty of boats with seating for 13 and storage for 20 plus life jackets.
Budget cuts? Tell that to the govt. The IRS is paying out 70 million in bonuses for their stellar work so undoubtedly more govt workers supervising our every movement would undoubtedly save every one of us from ourselves.
Many deaths are "preventable". Lets hire millions of govt workers to stand outside our homes and tell us what we can and can not do. Why even leave the house? That could prevent some deaths as well.
Wow. Get a grip. Unfortunately accidents happen. Everyone is free to choose how they live fortunately, but it seems like if it were left up to you maybe that would not be the case.

I own a houseboat and high performance boat and usually go to Lake Powell twice a year. It is one of the most, make that the most dangerous recreational water spot I go to. It is even more dangerous than Lake Havasu. I see accidents and very near misses routinely there. Boating rules are seldom enforced and they should be with substantial fines!

I went to Lake Powell three times just last year. I have not had any near
misses or accidents.
I'm sure there are incidents but I'm not sure that it is statistically (not anecdotally) much different than other lakes that have similar users.
What, suddenly because people show up there at Powell they suddenly are worse drivers?
Lakes are difficult because there is not as much structure as there is with roads. Its not like there is lanes or lines for people to follow. People drive on roads all the time. Many boaters are not frequent boaters so there will be less expertise naturally.
Unfortunate accident for this family. Sorry for your loss.

This is heartbreaking and our prayers go out to everyone involved. As a resident
here, we are saddened to hear about tragedy in such a beautiful area. We are
also boaters, and accidents can happen. A near miss happened with me when our
boat was new years ago when I didn't stand up to see over the passengers in
the bow. I nearly collided with an anchored boat that was fishing. In wide open
space, on a California lake. It happened so easily. A brother was video taping
us from another boat and when I saw how close it was, it changed my driving
habits permanently. If one of my passengers hadn't pointed at the anchored
boat, we would have ran into it at high speed.
Modern boats have larger passenger capacity ratings these days more than ever before. They are cabable and stable. This tragedy has brought life changing grief to these good folks and nothing else is worse. Our prayers go out to the families and their loved ones and we are so very, very sorry.

Having worked in the safety business for over 30 years and having been on Lake Powell in a houseboat and seeing the other recreational vehicles with speed doing some dumb things in the channel and the requirements by the Coast Guard on navigable waters, it is a very tenuous situation with winds and just the channel and closeness with someone that is not paying attention, for even a short time. Just as the Titanic should not have had a problem, when it did and at the increased speed, it could not stop in a split second. Trains and boats with heavy loads in controllability problems cannot stop. When you see a big houseboat, that is a definite problem, even for a big motorboat unless it is a Navy PT boat against a houseboat.

Now i am the type when watching niner games i am a loud fan. If the tank breaks a run i am the one that jumps off the couch and yells "Run, take it to the house!!!!" or a big catch or big hit i yell at the TV.
Now some fans are the quiet type, no less of a fan just not the yelling and screamin type.
My question to the zone are you quiet on gamedays with a subtle fist pump or a non chalant clap or do you jump out of your seat on big plays.
