Gael Monfils admitted on the eve of his semifinal with David
Ferrer that, "with me, you never know what will happen".
What happened at the Heineken Open today was a huge
disappointment as the show-stopping Frenchman folded 6-1 6-2
in just 48 minutes to the world No 5 and two-time defending
It all went horribly wrong when Monfils woke up and realised
he felt sore. After a two-hour epic against third seed Tommy
Haas the night before, on top of a three-setter earlier in
the week, the 26-year-old had nothing left in the tank.
When he strained a thigh in the third game of the match, it
was essentially all over. Monfils was beaten physically and
"I think David was too strong for me today," said Monfils,
who called for the trainer twice in the first set. "It was
very tough. I was tired, my legs were sore so it was, for me,
very hard to compete and very hard to stay with the fighting
spirit because I know even when I am not tired it's going to
be a physical game [against Ferrer].
"When you are strong physically, you are strong mentally.
It's a big weapon when you know you can run for three hours
and have no drop. It makes you feel like it's impossible to
beat you."
Ferrer didn't need to do much more than get the ball back
today and it was a massive disappointment for the capacity
crowd at Stanley St who had all hoped to see a continuation
of the Monfils stage show. In many ways his thrashing was
just that because he has epitomised this week the true
meaning of the term wildcard, which he needed to play at the
Heineken Open.
But he can also play a bit, and it has given him
encouragement that he can recapture the sort of form that saw
him rise to No 7 in the world in 2011.
He dazzled with his repertoire of shots, court coverage and
big serve and, incredibly, saved 25 of 28 break points
against him before his blowout against Ferrer.
He showed his game is still in good shape, he just needs a
body to match it after missing three-and-a-half months with a
knee injury last year.
"I think for two weeks in a row I have had tough matches, no
pain," Monfils said. "I think physically I am getting better
and better. I think things are going good and hopefully we
can keep going like this. I have no doubt that if I keep
going this way, I will be back [near the top] soon."
He's also vowing to return to the Heineken Open, which is
good news. What the crowd will get is difficult to predict.

WASHINGTON (May 6, 2013)—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning doctors and women of child-bearing age that half-a-dozen medications used to treat migraine headaches can decrease children's intelligence if taken while their mothers are pregnant.
The FDA says the drugs, including Depakote and Depacon, should never be taken by pregnant women for the prevention of migraine headaches.
The pills, which contain valproate sodium, already carry a warning about the risk of birth defects, but the FDA said it is adding new warnings to the drugs' labeling after a study showed they decreased IQ scores in children whose mothers took them while pregnant.
Depakote and similar drugs are also used to treat bipolar disorder and seizures.
The FDA said pregnant women should only take the drugs for those uses as a last resort.

Adds a lot useful admin links to the WordPress Toolbar / Admin Bar in Multisite, Network and single site installs. Comes with extended plugin support!
multisite-toolbar-additions folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/ directory
Please note, this plugin requires WordPress 3.3 or higher in order to work!
Also note: This plugin has NO settings page because I believe it's just not neccessarry. All customizing could be done via filters, constants and regular WordPress user roles & capabilities. As the plugin is only indended for a Super Admin (Network Admin) usage - that's the way to go. This way we can save the overhaul of an options panel/settings page, additional database requests, uninstall routines and such. End result: a lightweight system that just works and saves clicks & time :-).
Multisite install: Of course, it's fully compatible but have a look in the FAQ section here for more info :)
Single install: The plugin WILL also working like a charm for regular non-Multisite installs - just without the network specific stuff. However, there's still A LOT (single) site specific stuff supported. So it's up to your use case :). -- I for myself use this plugin on each and every install because it SAVES ME A LOT OF CLICKS & TIME! ...and that was the very reason I've developed it, yeah :-)
Own translation/wording: For custom and update-secure language files please upload them to
/wp-content/languages/multisite-toolbar-additions/ (just create this folder) - This enables you to use fully custom translations that won't be overridden on plugin updates. Also, complete custom English wording is possible with that, just use a language file like
multisite-toolbar-extras-en_US.mo/.po to achieve that (for creating one see the tools on "Other Notes").
Requires: 3.6 or higher
Compatible up to: 3.9.13

There are many threads attempting to assist users with new installs of WordPress on "localhost" utilizing the Xampp service that seem to lead everyone into speculative circles with no solution. Fortunately, having had some difficulty myself and getting very frustrated, I finally resolved my issue and have the solution available for others.
This install is on Win.XP-Pro system.
Install suggestions are partly thanks to WP Designer.com and Geeks are Sexy blogspot
To begin, download and install Xampp as per the instructions found on "Geeks are Sexy". I personally disabled my antivirus and windows firewall prior to install.
When editing your 'wp-config.php' file as described in the tutorial, be sure to select the yourpasswordhere part of the define ('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); // ...and password portion. Once you have selected it, delete it (if you are following the instructions verbatim). Do not use a space or delete the two apostrophes on either side of "yourpasswordhere" as it will cause you to get the error of unable to connect to database.
Happy blogging to all.

One of my clients wants to avoid the test of certificate revocation list in one of his websites. As far as I know, we have tu put this value (CertCheckMode) to 1 in the IIS metabase:
The problem is that this configuration is not working. I'm using IIS Metabase Explorer to see that configuration. It appears OK in the W3SVC folder of the website and inherited in ROOT IIsVirtualDirectory and other virtual directory (let's name it APP) where the app actually resides.
The application is isolated into and dedicated pool. If the value appears in the virtual directory, why is IIS still trying to get the CRL?
Thanks a lot, virtual beers awaiting for solvers ;)

Skip to comments.Obama: Myanmar wont succeed if Muslims are oppressed
Posted on 05/03/2014 7:51:37 PM PDT by Olog-hai
U.S. President Barack Obama said on Sunday that the rights of Myanmars minority Muslim population were not being fully protected and warned that the Southeast Asian country would not succeed if Muslims there were oppressed.
On a visit to Malaysia, Obama praised political reforms under way in once-isolated Myanmar, but said the danger of democratization was that it could unleash religious and ethnic conflicts and that such developments could move Myanmar in a bad direction.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Now he is openly siding with Muslim terrorists.
. . . again.
200 Christian girls kidnapped by muslims in Africa
Christian Churches torn down in China
Christians crucified by muslims in Libya
yet our muzzy (admitted dog eating pot smoking) president brings this up.
Fixed it.
Shut up Barry. You're on the downhill side of your reign. How 'bout giving us a break.
But he's expressed no concerns about the oppression and persecution of Christians in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt, the Palestian Authority, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria; ah heck, practically all Moslem majority nations. I can't name them all.
Always promoting, protecting. Funding, arming, complimenting, enabling, defending, and making up praises for islamonazis, the more murderous and anti-American or anti-Christian the better. Meanwhile, he weakens America, our economy, and our allies. Give him credit: he's consistent and very loyal to his people.
Every DAY feels like a waking nightmare! Make it stop!
you insult the office of president using it for him.
We have a PRETENDER in Chief.
I'm sure Obama's Secretary of Statements, John "Catch Up" Kerry, will be able to soothe his crowd in no time at all.
Has there ever been a time where he didn't?
So do the hated EXEMPT in Congress who made
Moslems also EXEMPT from DeathCARE/RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.
Hang them all from Banyan trees!
and FBO!
Miss Romney yet?
A shipment of heavy munitions to the maniacs, along with a fat check and a sincere apology with deep kowtowing should suffice for this administration.
We used to joke about this kind of stuff and `Hussein', now nothing would surprise.
I miss a Conservative, pro-American, pro-Judeo/Christian President. Willard ? Not so much. He served his part as a ringer for Zero and stopping the aforementioned type of leader from being nominated by the GOP.
**Myanmar wont succeed if Muslims are oppressed**
If that's true there......then if the rights of Christians are ignored in the U. S., then Americans will not succeed and will be oppressed.
the Karen tribe in Myanmar was given only 80% of food rations this tribe is catholic?it was explained to me by a priest in Mandalay city.
This guy is a total menace - we need to get his skinny butt out of office as quick as possible.
meanwhile, Christians are getting Crucified by some of the Muslims he is backing (with our $$) in Syria...
Nope...Romney's one of them...
Only 4% of Myanmar's population are Muslims. That is low enough so they should seriously consider following in the footsteps of Angola, and outlawing Islam altogether.
Don't you love those false choices ? We can either have the execrable Communist Mohammadan in the White House... OR we can have the execrable Socialist phony who gave the Communist Mohammadan a second term !
Always admired the Karen people and the way they stood up to the military junta in Burma. On a side note a few of their people were arrested here in South Australia the other day for hunting possums and koala seems that nobody told them about not hunting our furry little endangered wildlife - I am sure they will get off with a warning! Hopefully!
BURMA can't succeed unless the Muzzies ARE repressed.
Is this idiotic 'experiment' over yet??
Can we get ADULTS back in charge, please.
Oh, and make it adults who give a damn about Americans.
That would be the 57 that Obama referred to in relation to his visiting US states.
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
I wish the dirtbag president had the same attitude about standing up for the Christians in Syria that are being killed by the terrorists that Obama and McCain are supporting.
I'm yet to heat on fate of African Christians from Obama.
But he is a peaceful Muslim.
They're like family to him!
Look at the size of the snout on that Muslim and then tell me Neanderthal genes aren't present.
Oh, yeah! The muzzie head choppers need to be free to rape and kill Buddhist monks and Burmese peasants. How can they be happy if they can't do that?
Six months into this nightmare regime I couldn't believe what the voters had done. His highness was on the T.V. and radio every day, making one pronouncement or another. Felt like he was screaming at me. I wanted to choke anyone close-by who voted for him.
Then look what came along with him. The most mean-faced person I've ever seen. I think many feel sorry for their daughters.
Anymore like BHO being groomed somewhere?? Sounds silly saying that. But he was being groomed - right??
We've got to have our eyes open constantly so that something similar isn't foisted upon us EVer again.
Obama : " warned that the Southeast Asian country would not succeed if Muslims there were oppressed. "
BS , Asian Muz breed like rabbits ( or rats) they quickly become the majority in every nation in asia if nothing is done to keep their numbers in check . Burma is a Buddhist nation . It is a Buddhist nation because the original Indian Buddhist had to flee muslim slaughter in India . They fled to Burma and points east and north . Beyond the moslem hoards . Of course the Buddhist countries do not want bulging muzlim populations now . They are wise ! Let the Rohingya migrate to the middle eastern muzlim countries , They need menial labor there .
Standing with the Muzzies, as promised.
That is no surprise, he is one of them. Also, two times, four years apart, the voters had a choice to make, and they chose a muslim. Each time.
Or in the steps of the Central African Republic, and driving them out of the country.
The source of the unrest is their southern neighbor, Muslim Malaysia, and its desire for a chunk of the offshore oil and gas fields. They've been fomenting Muslim unrest in southern Thailand for the same reason.
Obama, full of sh*t.
As usual.
Have Obama ever condemned the daily massacre of Christians by Muslims all around Africa and the Middle East?
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On June 13, 2012 In Daily Mailer,FrontPage
Suppose that there was a country where Muslims were being massacred every month and mosques and imams were being targeted and destroyed. Could anyone imagine the Obama Administration choosing to remain silent in the face of such atrocities?
A mob attack on Muslims in Burma immediately resulted in a condemnation from the State Department and a call for its government to make more concessions to Muslims. But a car bombing and shooting attack on two churches in Nigeria have not been similarly commented on by the State Department, sending the message that Muslim life is precious, but Christian life is cheap. The Muslim dead of Burma are sacred, but the Christian dead of Nigeria are only more dead infidels.
Boko Haram, the Islamic terrorist organization responsible for both attacks, has yet to be declared a terrorist organization by the State Department, despite having carried out religiously motivated bombings and shootings that have killed over a thousand people in the last few years alone. These numbers begin to approach the level of murders carried out by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The Boko Haram Terrorist Designation Act of 2012, introduced by Senator Scott Brown, mandates that the State Department produce a detailed report that either designates Boko Haram as a terrorist group or justifies why it should not be listed as a terrorist group. A similar bill was introduced by Congressman Meehan in the House.
It is a testament to the obstructionism of the State Department and its whitewashing of Boko Haram that such a bill even had to be introduced. While the State Department has played delaying games, the bodies of murdered Christians have continued piling up.
It is also tragically noteworthy that all eleven sponsors of the Boko Haram Terrorist Designation Act, in both the Senate and the House, have been Republicans. Not a single Democrat appeared to be willing to stand up for the human rights of Nigerian Christians. If the Boko Haram Terrorist Designation Act comes down to a vote, that vote should be seen as nothing less than a test of complicity for individual Democrats in the cover-up of Nigerias Islamic genocide by the Obama Administration.
Genocide denial pervades not only the Obama Administration and its Congressional allies, but also the media, which continues to promote the destructive myth that Boko Haram is not truly religiously motivated and that it can only be stopped by giving more money and power to the Muslim north.
Had a non-Muslim group carried out numerous attacks on mosques and Muslim worshipers, and then ordered Muslims to leave an area, it is absolutely inconceivable that the Obama Administration and its media allies would deny that these were religiously motivated attacks. It is even more inconceivable that its preferred solution would be to tell the government to stop fighting terrorism. But what is inconceivable when it comes to Muslims is Obama Administration policy for Christians.
The rest of the history
Beat me to it...
Somebody needs to come right out & ask Mr. Obama why he doesn't just go live with these people & leave us alone,since he sides with them anyway.

The workers were trapped when the entrance to the mine in San
Juan Arriba collapsed on Wednesday (local time). Officials
said the mine, 110km south of the Central American nation's
capital Tegucigalpa, had been ordered to close a few months
ago because it was unsafe.
"We've rescued three of the miners, thank God, and we're
going to keep looking for the other eight," Moises Alvarado,
a senior emergency services official, told reporters.
The three miners were whisked away in ambulances. Oscar Cruz,
a spokesman for El Salvador's Green Cross, which came to help
with the search effort, said the men were dehydrated and one
had a broken right leg.
Hopes of a major breakthrough had surged on Wednesday night
when Honduran President Juan Hernandez sent a tweet from the
scene, saying that eight of the miners had been freed.
However, shortly afterwards he deleted the tweet and
apologized for reporting false news.
The collapse occurred in a drought-stricken region of
Honduras that had been a gold mining center for Spanish
colonists. The rise in gold prices in recent years had
spurred dozens of small mines to open in the area.

I know you love the french-lesbian-seagulls-coming-of-age movies and shit, but you missed a great horror movie "The Ruins" that came out today.
We didn't "miss" it; the studio refused to screen it for us. That's how it works--we review nearly everything we're given access to.
I'm still laughing at Sean Nelson's Donnie Darko snippet.
they were super paranoid about the l33t kiddies leaking the movie out to bittorrent users. There wasn't anything anywhere. Refreshing to know there are still good horror movies coming out in between all these weak watered down Asian Extreme Horror remakes.

Issue #7 of The Get Some Victory Newsletter went out on Sunday, on the topic of making smarter New Year's Resolutions.
Stefanie Zobus weighted in with a smart reply, and kindly agreed to let me share it here -
Hi Sebastian,
I'd like to add one more thing to what you said. Often times, the resolutions made for the next year are not thought through properly, are quickly and thoughtlessly made, for vague reasons one sometimes doesn't care about that much, or isn't aware one cares much. That's a problem. If one doesn't think very, very carefully about what really matters, what one wants (!!) to change, and –why- it's easy to say.. oh well, it doesn't matter that much anyway. So things aren't followed through. One needs to know the reasons very concretely, and the consequences of not following through. Instant gratification (gotten by quitting the resolution) is much more powerful than a vague goal stored at some far-end corner of the mind, uttered out loud once or twice during New Years.
You can get more good insights from Stefanie on her site - http://stefaniezobus.wordpress.com/
I'd like to bring attention to this ingenious comment by Stefanie Zobus. I'm adding bold on my favorite part -
It's terribly easy to waste a day. It's the evening, and I haven't really done anything useful. I thought of planning the day when I got up, but in the end didn't. I think books such as that one are really good in that they remind people their treacherous tendencies that take over when one doesn't pay attention carefully enough. Old habits and all that. It would probably be a good idea to have something that forcefully reminds one of the whole business every day when one gets up, at least when one is still establishing new habits.
Something I thought about in that respect was that it would be useful to write some sort of 'life manifest.' Discussing how one wants ones' life to be, what one wants to do in life, and very importantly: why – because when one doubts and falters, one could read that and be reminded of why one tries, and why one should keep going. You wrote something similar in that you had some post some time ago as to how many books you want to publish until then-and-then, and how much money you want to own at this or that point… which is a really good thing since it encourages and sets goals. There are so many methods and ways helping one to keep going… one just has to find and employ them. I'm afraid, the employing part is difficult. Reading a book like that brings one 'back to earth' I suppose, if one really cares. And if one doesn't care, well, then things are pretty hopeless anyway.
Very smart stuff. I have some things that I live for, but I never thought to look at those when I was feeling demotivated. Great stuff. Stefanie just launched a site at http://stefaniezobus.wordpress.com/ - here's looking forward to good insights from her.
I like new years resolutions. It is like having a shower where the sins of last year are washed away. Even if you did not achieve a single resolution last year, your lizard brain is quick to point out that this was the younger, more immature version of you that just could not stick to things. That unreliable guy is nothing on this year's version. This guy sticks to things.
So, I have got twelve resolutions for this year (I wrote these down before the new year begun) so I wanted to get them out there so I could track them from here. They are:
1. Write a blog post twice a week - Yep, that's this thing. I have committed with a buddy to write every day. He has suggested that we do half an hour a day which is a little daunting but I am certainly prepared to give it a go. This is the first day of it and it is actually happening. I aim to post twice a week.
2. Read 25 books - Last year I tried to read 20 books which I did not complete. I had read 18 by early November, however life got in the way for the last two months of the year. It was annoying but I am not sure if it is the number per se, but rather that I read a lot more every year. I think if I read for an hour a day I should be able to get through 25 books. I read three in January already which are 1. The Catcher in the Rye 2. Blood Meridian and 3. Your Money or Your Life.
3. Relearn German - A few years ago I could have a basic conversation in German and write a little. Now I can barely do it at all which is something I want to remedy. This year I am going to study all the German Pimsleur levels which will hopefully get me back to having conversations in German. I will also either try to meet some local Germans or join the German speakers group in my local city.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell today announced he's suspended five year-old Timmy Wayne Clarke for soiling his Dallas Cowboy boxer briefs while watching the team's training camp in Oxnard, California. Goodell announced the unprecedented punishment today.

As a result, Timmy will be banned from AT&T Stadium for the first four weeks of the season under the NFL's previously unannounced "conduct detrimental to undergarments" policy.

Timmy had been enjoying watching practice in the 90 degree heat with his father Bobby Wayne when the deep-fried, bacon-wrapped chocolate New York cheesecake he ate earlier that day at the California State Fair started to cause him problems. Unfortunately, Timmy was unable to make it to the bathroom in an optimal time frame and the result was a skid mark right over the Cowboy's iconic star - located strategically at the garment's bottom.

The policy has apparently been in Goodell's handbook for years, but not been enforced, on account of the fact that no NY Jets fan would ever be allowed into a stadium.

However, insiders with knowledge of the situation say Goodell took the highly-unusual action after Timmy's uncle (a Patriots fan) posted a picture of the briefs on social media and it was clear that the new look was an improvement. In order to stop fans of all teams from shitting on logos, he decided to send a message and suspend poor Timmy for four games.

Neither side would comment on the story, but Timmy is eligible to return in week five. He's also sworn off fair food.Rushhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204558202875629175.post-51394204947621022232015-08-19T21:58:00.001-04:002015-08-19T22:02:05.366-04:00Ebay Item of the Week: If Ditka Were an Orangeman

The World's Strongest Hamster, Preparing to Disappoint Yet Again

Doug "Don't call me a Muscle Hamster" Martin is primed to regain his lost form and become a bell cow for the Tampa Bay Bucs this year. The former first round draft pick has been garnering some good buzz as a potential guy that could propel you to that elusive fantasy football trophy your wife will make you keep in the bathroom.

However, Martin knows his own history and is delighted to repeat it.

"First round, eighth round, 12th round, I don't care where you draft me, just know this, I'll over-promise and under-deliver," Martin said. "I'm the pretzel roll of the football world. I burst onto the scene a few years ago, achieved quick success, and quickly became a stale, chewy mess once I achieved widespread popularity."

Martin's ambitious goals for 2015 include: being listed on the injury report every week; setting a the NFL record for most non-Belichick related game-time decisions; and breaking off at least two 50 yard TD runs that are followed by weeks of non-productivity.

Martin is currently scheduled to incur the first of a season-long string of nagging, soft-tissue injuries in week two versus the New Orleans Saints.

Now 32 years old, Lorenzen has eschewed fads like P90X and Insanity workouts, and has instead opted to pursue a diet consisting entirely of Kentucky eating challenges*. Honestly, the 24 inch pizza at Raniero's in Cold Spring, KY seems like it would be an appetizer for this guy.

Mark Teixeira took in the Syracuse game Wednesday night. The buttons on his friend's shirt did not

Syracuse beat Indiana 69-52 in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge tonight. Five observations from the game are coming up as soon as I finish not getting my chest waxed.

1.) The Syracuse backcourt, which was a huge question mark coming into the season, has rounded into shape faster than anyone could have hoped. Tyler Ennis is the best freshman point guard in the country and Trevor Cooney from this year is the anti-Trevor Cooney from last year.

2.) Speaking of Cooney, Jim Boeheim has credited steady playing time and the confidence that comes with it as the main reason for his improvement. Another reason -- improved fundamentals. He's working his ass off to set up his defender off screens, getting his feet set quickly and properly, and not drifting on his shot. That, and well, he's got a killer look:

Cooney has a fresh-out-of-a-bender beard.
— Hoya Suxa (@HoyaSuxa) December 4, 2013
3.) I don't know what a foul is anymore. The thought at the beginning of the year was that officials would call the game close and players would "adjust." Well I don't how you adjust to grazing someone who happens to be standing in the same area code as you. At the end of the day basketball features 10 very large, athletic men in a rather confined space. Some contact is inevitable. I suspect we may see games called like this all year. Make your free throws kids.

4.) No real deep insight here, but the Orange still need more from the big men. Coleman is willing, but not yet able. Christmas is able, but not yet always willing. Both have shown some signs, if they continue to improve, that bodes well for the Orange in March -- until both are mysteriously linked to an unsubstantiated scandal by anonymous sources that is quickly forgotten as soon as the season ends.

5.) Baye Keita runs like a gazelle. He's SU's best defender in the middle of the zone. He's an able shot blocker and by all accounts, a great teammate. He is not, however, a receiver. Four years after arriving in Central New York, catching a basketball is more vexing to him than catching a tan is to Jim Boeheim.

All in all, it's been a fantastic start to the season for the Orange. The top half of the ACC is going to be really fun to watch. Game on.

Welcome back to Week 2 of Thank You Notes.

Thank you Drew Allen, for helping me teach my toddler to share. He's 20 months old and in a phase where everything is "mine." We talk about sharing, but he learns best by imitating others. The way you shared the ball with Northwestern was a lesson that was much more powerful than words.

Thank You Northwestern, for having a color scheme that makes Marie Schrader wet herself. The fact that Tuco Salamanca hates the Wildcats is just gravy to Marie.

Thank You Daryl Gross, your intricate scheduling strategy of playing major conference BCS schools BEFORE inserting a couple of patsies into the lineup is pure genius. It's the perfect way to lull Wagner and Tulane into a false sense of confidence.

Thank You Syracuse Secondary, for reminding us that Swiss cheese isn't just for ham sandwiches.

Thank You Terrel Hunt for masterfully marching down the field and scoring against Northwestern's scrubs. Nothing spells quarterback controversy better than a second string QB who is killer in garbage time and lulls the fan base into false expectations. Especially when the starter sucks.

Thank You Pat Fitzgerald for not living in Boston. With a name like Pat Fitzgerald, and an ability to get his players to play hard, play above their ability, win games and be generally very likable, you would be so beloved the fans would be insufferable. Guys like Sully and Murph would actually watch football on Saturdays and walk around in jerseys with the name Fitzgerald on the back. So really, thank you for helping us avoid that.

Thank You Big Ten Network Announcers, for implying Syracuse should mimic Northwestern's Blackhawks day. It's a good thing this will be ignored. Can you imagine the disappointment that would occur when bunch of New York Rangers forget to stop in Syracuse on their drive home to Canada?

Thank You Scott Shafer for dramatically lowering our expectations. I know as a married man that if I consistently disappoint my wife and then occasionally do something remotely good, she's pleased. Expectation management is a key metric most people don't put enough time into.

Thank You Northwestern Grounds Crew, the invisible paint you used for the boundaries clearly worked as Syracuse guys strolled out-of-bounds untouched on numerous occassions.

Thank You Doctor Gross for not hiring Greg Robinson AGAIN. Fool him once, shame on him. Fool him twice and boom - Scott Shafer. I kid, I kid. I hope.

Here's to better days SU fans - let's hope they are close. Take it away Jimmy.

According to the Post Standard Terrel Hunt was amazing on Saturday

Penn State defeated Syracuse 23-17 on Saturday, moving to 0-2 in games played in the house Dr. Gross wishes he built -- but that was three days ago and you already know that.

Our good friend Jimmy Fallon* likes to write thank you notes from time to time and we thought that it would be nice to honor Jimmy as he takes over the Tonight Show next year and write some thank you notes of our own. Here goes.

Thank You Post Standard, for crediting Terrel Hunt with the game of his life. Only in the world of wildly inaccurate box scores can an interception also count as a completed pass - when no passes were actually thrown.

Thank You George McDonald for letting your inability to commit to a woman manifest itself in an inability to continue giving Jerome Smith the ball even though he was having a better game than Prince Tyson Gulley.

Thank You Doctor Daryl Gross, no one can turn New York's College Classic into a road game for the team from New York while playing in New Jersey quite like you.

Thank You Scott Shafer, the vigor and frequency with which you throw your visor ensures thousands of Malaysian children will have visor making employment for years to come.

Thank You Allen Robinson, for mysteriously getting suspended for the first half. Your absence did to the Syracuse secondary what Joan Rivers' plastic surgeon does to her face - it made them look smooth.

Thank You Chris Carlson, your obsession with Scott Shafer's sideline demeanor makes stalkers everywhere feel a bit less creepy while staking out their exes apartment at 3 am.

Thank You Drew Allen, for giving Christian Hackenberg time to catch up. The last time you played a meaningful game was 2008, he was in the 8th grade. Most guys won't let snotty nose kids catch up and pass them all once.

Thank You Ed Cunningham, your obsession with seeing the referees throw a flag for targeting was so distracting that we barely noticed how terrible Mike Patrick is - and for that, we thank you immensely.

The wave should have been retired with hairstyles like this

We hate the wave. I mean we really, really hate it. It was something that originated in the 80's and like huge hair, Dokken and Zubaz, it should have stayed there. Well maybe not Zubaz, otherwise carnie ride operators would work without pants, and frankly that's not good for anyone.

Sadly, much like Kip Winger, this hideous phenomenon is still occurring. Seriously, who in their right minds wants to see a 25th Anniversary Winger show? The answer, Lipton Tea executives, that's who.

From Philly.com we learn that:

"Lipton, now the official iced tea of Major League Baseball after Monday's Home Run Derby, is going to encourage you to do the wave at baseball games for the rest of the season."

Look, we haven't had a post on up this site in months, and it may be months before another one appears, but when a company so irresponsibly promotes hideous behavior, we here at T3I are forced to take action.

So, should you happen to be in a Major League park over the next few months and get urged to do the wave against your will do the following two things:

1) Sit your ass down

2) Drink Snapple

Otherwise you're condoning behavior that should have been retired with this band:

 And for those too lazy to click the link, this is Dokken (we know you've never heard of them):

Between now and training camp, not much will happen -- except things like Mike Vick beating LeSean McCoy in a race. According to the always reputable Pro Football Talk, McCoy had been taunting Vick for weeks, calling him an old man.

That led to a race, which according to back up safety Colt Anderson, didn't go so well for McCoy:

Vick just beat Shady in a 40 yard race. @mikevick
— Colt Anderson (@AndersonColt) May 2, 2013

This seems implausible, seeing as how McCoy is close to a decade younger and didn't spend a substantial amount of time eating prison food. So we did some digging. It turns out that a '72 Impala back-fired moments before the race began and Vick took off and never looked back. Hey, it happens.

Can Syracuse football coach Scott Shafer swear during press conferences? Yes he can.

Can Syracuse football coach Scott Shafer hit his driver? It certainly appears so. According to the 11 Warriors, during yesterday's Chick-Fil-A Bowl Challenge Long Drive Competition the new, hard-nosed coach finished third in the coaching division with a drive of 281 yards.....which, while it's not Happy Gilmore-esque, isn't too shabby. What's even more interesting, he bested Hall of Fame basketball coach Jim Boeheim by 26 yards.

Don't tell Gregg Doyel, but apparently Boeheim retired and didn't tell anyone, as he's no longer a coach, but rather a "celebrity."

I am trying to run a script that disconnects and reconnects to the internet. In cmd.exe I am using the lines
netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" disabled
netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" enabled
The disabled works as expected, and the enable line does re-enable the Local Area Connection but it doesn't reconnect to the internet, and I only get internet back if I restart my computer.
Further investigation showed that if I disabled the Local Area Connection and then enabled it manually via the device manager it failed to start, with error message: This device cannot start (Code 10).
Any ideas on what this problem is caused by, or another way to disconnect and reconnect to the internet using cmd.exe? Thanks.
(And I am using windows 7).

I just bought a new solid state drive, and I'd like to copy all of the files and setup from my current Mac OS X hard drive onto it. What is the best way to do this?
I have a 1TB external hard drive, my drive backed up on Time Machine, and Snow Leopard on a DMG, but no external mount for the SSD, and no install DVD (it's at my parents house, promise). I'm familiar with the command line and booting up Mac OS X from a hard drive.

The Neighborhood (Hardcover)
Imagine you could create your own utopian writers' quarter a close-knit community of those you admire or who have influenced you profoundly. For award-winning Portuguese author Goncalo M. Tavares, six favorite "senhores" Misters Calvino, Valery, Juarroz, Kraus, Walser, and Henri haunt the sidewalks, cafes, and back alleys of a fictive Lisbon "bairro."
Readers will appreciate the homages to Italian fabulist Italo Calvino, French poet and critic Paul Valery, Argentinean poet Roberto Juarroz, Swiss modernist Robert Walser, Austrian writer and satirist Karl Kraus, and Belgian neosurrealist Henri Michaux, but Tavares's deceptively simple style appeals on many levels. In this imaginative territory, for instance, diminutive Mister Valery jumps up and down satisfied to be as tall as his fellow men if only for a shorter while. His more egocentric neighbor, Mister Henri, philosophizes about the virtues of absinthe, acknowledging the drink can make equally for a better or worse reality.
Enhancing each story are the drawings of Rachel Caiano, whose minimalist depictions mirror the essence of the personal, logical, and political absurdities that intrigue in these simple yet profound tales.
When we visit Tavares's neighborhood, its building blocks made of books, we are also visiting a version of ourselves. Philip Graham, from the foreword
About the Author
Goncalo M. Tavares was born in 1970. He has published numerous books since 2001 and has been awarded an impressive number of literary prizes in a very short time, including the Saramago Prize in 2005.
