If SALA's Architects were a public company, Wall Street analysts would be warning investors to steer clear of its stock. The 17-year-old Minnesota firm recently changed its name, giving up the national brand recognition it had earned as Mulfinger, Susanka, Mahady & Partners with its 1999 Life magazine Dream House design. One of its two founding partners resigned last summer. Most of SALA's 35 employees cheerfully admit that they still do their drafting by hand, rather than on the computer. And the firm continues to include small remodels and additions in its nearly exclusively residential portfolio, rather than concentrating only on more lucrative, attention-grabbing big houses.
But Wall Street analysts aren't the ones who decide who gets the most work; clients are. And clients have been beating down SALA's door, at its offices in bustling Minneapolis and picture-perfect Stillwater, Minn., for years. They're attracted to the firm's relaxed atmosphere. They're intrigued by its sensible design strategies. And they're delighted by the personal attention they receive as a consequence of its lateral structure. None of these qualities are part of a planned positioning scheme or a carefully controlled image. They're simply the ideals upon which SALA was founded, and to which the firm has held fast throughout its history.
In 1983, Dale Mulfinger was a professor of architecture at the University of Minnesota (he still is) and Sarah Susanka was a teaching assistant. Both architects were doing small additions and remodels on the side, "to pay the rent," as Mulfinger puts it. The pair collaborated on a house based on the seminal architecture text A Pattern Language, and the partnership of Mulfinger & Susanka was born. "We never thought we'd end up as a primarily single-family residential firm," Mulfinger remembers. "Sarah's specialty was energy-efficient design, and mine was really multifamily. But houses were what people were asking us to do. The market told us what they wanted, and we realized that's what we should aim for."
That instinctive ability to connect with their market--and to recognize an even larger, untapped market--set the firm apart from other residential architects struggling to find commissions. Mulfinger and Susanka realized right off the bat why people weren't hiring architects to design their houses: They didn't know they could afford to. "Dale and I were absolutely convinced that there was this market, under our noses," says Susanka, who left the firm after the smashing success of her 1998 design book, The Not So Big House, to concentrate on writing and lecturing. "We just kept tapping into it."
They spread the word about their populist-minded firm in smart, common-sense ways that most residential architects hadn't thought of: setting up a booth at the annual Minneapolis Home and Garden Show, writing articles for local and national publications, and conducting community workshops on how to work with an architect. Their efforts paid off. Within a few years, the pair was busy designing everything from kitchen remodels to million-dollar homes.
All the while, they kept their rates reasonable, with a vast menu of services clients could choose from, starting with rough sketches and ending with full project management. In doing so, they lured clients away from builder- "designed" houses and convinced them to trade a little square footage for a lot more livable house. "We figured out how we could give people the most bang for their buck by eliminating wasted space," Susanka says. "Even rich people could appreciate that."
Growth Margin
By 1991, Mulfinger and Susanka had more work than they could handle. They added another partner, Michaela Mahady, and changed their name to Mulfinger, Susanka, Mahady & Partners. The name reflected a desire to continue expanding. "We always knew there would be other partners," Mulfinger says.
The horizontal structure they had established was designed to accommodate growth; each partner handled a project independently from start to finish, so more architects simply meant the firm could accept more commissions. The unique setup, more like that of a law firm than a traditional architecture firm, also gave young architects the opportunity to do more substantive work than they'd be able to do elsewhere. "Right away, I was able to dive into projects and develop relationships with clients," recalls Mahady, a former student of Mulfinger's.
The firm continued to grow throughout the '90s, creating an associate level for newcomers. Incoming architects serve at the associate level for a minimum of two years, then are eligible for promotion to partner. Associates manage smaller projects autonomously and work with partners on the larger ones. The system requires a hefty amount of trust between the experienced and less experienced architects; luckily, that faith is in abundant supply in both the downtown converted warehouse that houses the Minneapolis office and the quaint storefront containing the Stillwater branch.
"This office is unlike any architect's office I've ever seen," says associate Paul Hannan, who had his own practice for 10 years. "Everyone helps everyone else improve. You do better work when you've got that kind of support." Interns and students, too, are part of the equation--a big part, according to Mulfinger. "We've probably had 200 of them work here over the history of the firm," he says. "We have to spend time educating them about the way we do things. But they bring a lot of positive energy to the office."
Good Vibrations
That exuberance propels the firm briskly into the new millennium. SALA had revenues of $2.3 million and completed 233 projects in 1999. The firm has projects on the drawing boards or under construction in 18 states and in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Along the way, it has rewritten conventional wisdom, turning what may look like liabilities into assets. The new name, which translates into "a special room" in Latin-based languages, zeroes in on the firm's philosophy. "Having our name be a single word instead of the partners' surnames shows that we're not structured traditionally, with just a few principals in control," says Mahady. And Susanka's departure hasn't left the architects feeling abandoned. Instead, it's demonstrated the strength of the firm's organization.
Why, in the computer age, do most of SALA's architects still draw by hand? Because they enjoy it. Many of them claim it's faster than drawing a house digitally. And their reluctance to relinquish smaller projects is based on practicality, not sentimentality: Doing remodels and additions, they say, keeps their design skills sharp.
SALA's wisest strategy of all may be its kid-glove treatment of its employees. Each architect is encouraged to discover and hone his or her particular talents. For example, partner Katherine Hillbrand specializes in designing timber-frame houses, while partner Joe Metzler is known for historic preservation work. To encourage the pursuit of their passions, all full-time employees receive a $1,200-per-year "professional development" stipend, which they can use as they please. A company retreat at a nearby lake resort is held every couple of years, and each January the firm holds an open house for its employees, clients, and colleagues in the home building industry.
Career development isn't the only perk SALA offers. In fact, it supports any pursuit that contributes to its employees' quality of life. Partner Kelly Davis works a flexible schedule from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. so he can indulge his enthusiasm for afternoon rowing on the St. Croix River. Michaela Mahady is a talented stained-glass artist whose work graces many SALA projects. And employees at the Stillwater office drink out of mugs created by partner Wayne Branum, who is also a potter.
SALA's holistic approach attracts skilled people and frees them to do their best work. It's largely responsible for the firm's rising-star status, and it virtually guarantees an ever-widening universe for the practice. "They ask you what you're interested in and give you a chance to do that," says one intern. "It's an incredibly nurturing environment."

Hi parrotface,
I haven't come across this particular problem so bear with me while we try to work it out.
First check the basics: is dhcp3-server actually installed, and does the group dhcpd exist on your system?
Second, the conf file is written by bash (lines 706 onward). The content of /tmp/dhcp.conf may be a problem, but I don't see how the file doesn't even exist! Unless the script is failing and exiting before it gets to line 706??
You've probably already done this, but could you run the script in debug mode, and post the relevant output?
Code:bash -x path/to/PwnSTAR_0.6

From Freeman's FB:
Goes out on a win with a great tale to tell, and a pioneering career to look back on.Ok guys I've had a good hard think over the weekend about my career. My main goal lately was to hurt Shamrock in a fight but he's proven to be a coward and decided to admit he doesn't want to fight me. I would have liked to of had a chance to fight him on the October UK UFC, but that's not gonna happen.
I've realised also that there's a lot of retarded interviewers out there like MMA Cript who giggled trough my interview, were two faced liars and can't get a story or a question straight. I've since looked at photos of the guys working at MMA Cript and realise they are kids. Skinny little TapOut t-shirt wearing idiots. And this made me think to myself, there's too many young idiots been giving the chance to ruin MMA.
I'm 47 next month, and yes, it is too old to fight. Not only that, I'm not in the greatest of health, I haven't been for a while now, but I've ignored the dangers of my doctor and pushed forward and fought and won. On a plus side, I have a beautiful grandson who's grandad is a MMA legend and I can't wait to pass my stories down to him. I have a beautiful wife who has supported me through out my career and I've been lucky enough not to sustain any major injuries. And let's not forget my gorgeous talented fighting daughter Kennedy, who may follow in my footsteps into the UFC one day.
So, I guess you know where this is going with this ... Yes, I'm officially retired. Time to let the younger generation take over and my students learn my skills. I won't quit training and I will always be The Machine, but my days of getting stressed out are over.
Thank you for all your supports guys. Without you I'm nothing. Love to you all.
Ian "The Machine"Freeman.
Great ambassador of UK MMA who has done it all so fair play to him.
When I saw the FB campaign to get him back in the UFC I was slightly shocked so im glad he has re-thought this and realised its not viable. All the best for the future!
It's MMA. I only believe someone is retired when they die.

Feminism | Posted by Julie Z on 02/24/2012
A Feminist Rushes A Sorority
When I thought about what my college experience would be like as a high schooler, I never for a second even slightly entertained the faintest thought of joining a sorority. As a self-identified feminist, as someone who thought chapstick was a full face of makeup, and as someone who had about as much interest in enduring mosh-pits of grinding frat boys as she did in microbial taxonomy (read: none) I just had zero interest in what I, frankly, saw as an antiquated, possibly even anti-feminist and insulting tradition. Which is why when I pressed "send" on my sorority recruitment application last December, nobody was more surprised than I was.
Though I hadn't entered college with a clear goal of finding my long, lost non-genetic "sisters," …

GSA Awards Six Contracts for Next Generation of Card Services
February 10, 1998
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Sue McIver (703) 305-7261
Washington, DC - The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today the award of six contracts for the next generation of federal government charge cards, bringing federal agencies closer to a single payment system for multiple services. With a potential contract length of 10 years, charges under these contracts could total $100 billion.
Purchase card contracts were awarded to American Express, Citibank, First National Bank of Chicago, Mellon Bank, NationsBank and US Bank (formerly Rocky Mountain BankCard). Contracts for travel-related payment services were awarded to American Express, Citibank, NationsBank and US Bank. Fleet card services will be available from American Express, Citibank and US Bank. These services�purchase, travel and fleet�are currently provided by three separate contractors. Under the new contracts, an agency could choose to receive more than one service�plus innovative add-ons�from a single contractor.
American Express, Citibank, First National Bank of Chicago, NationsBank and US Bank (formerly Rocky Mountain BankCard) were awarded contracts that integrate two or more services. Such integration might include administrative functions like account set-up and maintenance and financial processes like reconciliation, reporting and invoicing. Agencies, therefore, could process account set-up through a single system and receive combined reports.
The new contracts will be effective November 30, 1998, and run for five years, with five additional one-year options. They cover expenditures that were valued at more than $8.5 billion in fiscal year 1997. Use of the travel card generated more than $20 million in refunds to the government in fiscal year 1997. The purchase card generated $7 million in refunds and savings in administrative costs of $616 million during the same period. Currently, there are more than 2 million charge cards in use by federal employees.
"These contracts represent another step in simplifying government financial transactions and saving on administrative costs while offering agencies broad choices in card-based services," said GSA Administrator David J. Barram. "They also offer new and innovative methods to increase electronic commerce activity and capture financial data for accounting and performance measurement. This is another major step in our efforts to reinvent how the federal government does business."
Frank P. Pugliese, Jr., Commissioner of GSA's Federal Supply Service - the GSA component that handled the procurement - added, "This is the largest single procurement of card-based services. Agencies will have access to a variety of commercial services, increasing the potential for streamlining transactions, saving money, and improving accountability."
GSA's current contracts will expire on November 29, 1998. Agencies will spend the next nine months identifying their requirements for the future and selecting the vendor that can best meet them.
To introduce the new contracts and their many features to federal agencies, GSA will hold a training conference for federal customers on February 23, 24, and 25 in Washington, DC. For information, call Sue McIver at 703-305-7261.

Oshkosh spurns
Icahn offer
Oshkosh, the Wisconsin truck maker, has rejected a buyout offer from billionaire investor Carl Icahn. The company said Icahn's tender offer of $32.50 per share undervalued the company and was not in the best interest of shareholders. Oshkosh's board unanimously recommended stockholders reject Icahn's offer.
Toyota sees world
vehicle sales surge
Toyota sold 7.4 million vehicles around the world in the first nine months of the year, up 28 percent from a year earlier, but its growth faces headwinds from a sales plunge in China that could unseat it as the world's top automaker. Anti-Japanese sentiment flared after Japan nationalized tiny islands in the East China Sea that also are claimed by China. The move resulted in a a widespread call to boycott Japanese goods.
Money flooding
out of China
Chinese investors evaded government controls to move more than $600 billion out of the country last year and the outflow is increasing. A new study by Global Financial Integrity gives backing to anecdotal signs of huge, unreported movements of money out of the country. Experts say the outflows are driven by public frustration with a banking system that subsidizes state companies at the expense of savers and by businesses profiting from loopholes in economic controls.

Ratings for Dr. Jeffrey T. Kubo
Loved the eye exam. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Answered all of my questions, was very patient and spent 30+ minutes with me. Has a new instrument that takes a picture of the eye that he shows you afterwards and he explains everything he is looking for. Would highly recommend.
I got a new Rx early this year from dr. Kubo but waited a few months after to order them. When I finally went back there a few months later to order my Rx glasses, I got a most unwelcome stare from Dr. Kubo. I actually smiled upon seeing him but instead got a 'what are you doing here" stare. Even if he did not recognized me as bis patient, I still deserve a warm welcome since I am there to do business. I am Asian to too. The receptionist named Jackie was unhelpful and with a negative attitude. When I first arrived she was seated in the counter not on a chair. She had a frown when she saw me come in. The way she assisted me with the adjustment of mynew Rx glasses, seemed forced. Unprofessional.
I am a physician, so very picky about my doctors. He is phenomenal. I would see him (and do) over an ophthalmologist. Thorough, thoughfuful, excellent diagnostician.. Who would of guessed with an office at JCO Penny?, but it is clear he is interested in providing excellent care--and not as interested in having a fancy office. If only more doctors were like him.
Our family optometrist for over 10 years. He's great with our 2 kids and very patient. He takes the time to explain things.
9 year patient. Sees whole family. Knowledgable, puntcual, kind, careful, experienced - excellent.
I have been going to Dr. Kubo for over 10 years. I would follow him if he were to ever move he is that good. I have referred him to family and friends. If you need a good eye doctor you should give him a try. Very nice and professional, if I have questions he always takes the time to answer them and never makes me feel like we need to rush.
Dr. Kubo it very, very good he treats my entire family and I have been seeing him for years!!
Very knowledgeable and patient friendly. He listens to your concerns and offers helpful information to resolve. Fantastic eye doctor!!!
HORRIBLE!!!!!! I have been a patient of Dr. Kubo for YEARS!!! I ran out of contacts and asked that I purchase a box. Fred told me, the Doctor said my prescription had expired. I know it didn't, so I called my insurance company and they informed me it had not, so they called Dr Kubo to assist me. Dr. Kubo still refuse to budge. I asked for a sample pair until I could get an appointment and Dr. Kubo was still unwilling to help me. I can't believe he would treat a patient, that has been going to him years in such a manner. He would not even take my call to talk to me. Lens Crafter took my precription and filled it immeadiatly and even had them in stock!!! I have never wrote a review before, but I had to on this case.
He is awesome! Top notch, professional, personable, fully explains everything he's doing, and answers any questions you have. You will be in very good hands w/ Dr. Kubo.

Kristol, Krauthammer lauded Bush inauguration speech without disclosing their role as consultants
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Weekly Standard editor William Kristol lauded President George W. Bush's inauguration speech as "powerful," "impressive," and "historic," both in an article for the January 31 print edition of The Weekly Standard and as a FOX News political contributor during FOX's live coverage of Inauguration Day. Washington Post columnist and FOX News contributor Charles Krauthammer, also during FOX News' live Inauguration Day coverage, called Bush's speech "revolutionary" and compared it to fomer President John F. Kennedy's 1961 inaugural address. But Kristol and Krauthammer were consultants for Bush's speech -- a fact that neither disclosed.
A January 22 Washington Post article, titled "Bush Speech Not a Sign of Policy Shift, Officials Say," quoted Kristol praising Bush's address as a "rare inaugural speech that will go down as a historic speech, I believe." The Post article then noted that Kristol and Krauthammer had contributed to planning Bush's speech. According to the Post:
The planning of Bush's second inaugural address began a few days after the Nov. 2 election with the president telling advisers he wanted a speech about "freedom" and "liberty." That led to the broadly ambitious speech that has ignited a vigorous debate. The process included consultation with a number of outside experts, Kristol among them.
One meeting, arranged by Peter Wehner, director of the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives, included military historian Victor Davis Hanson, columnist Charles Krauthammer and Yale professor John Lewis Gaddis, according to one Republican close to the White House.
However, in his article for the January 31 Weekly Standard, Kristol praised Bush's speech without noting that he had been consulted in its creation:
Informed by [political philosopher Leo] Strauss and inspired by [American Revolution-era author Thomas] Paine, appealing to [Abraham] Lincoln and alluding to [Harry] Truman, beginning with the Constitution and ending with the Declaration, with Biblical phrases echoing throughout -- George W. Bush's Second Inaugural was a powerful and subtle speech. It will also prove to be a historic speech.
If the critics of the speech who have denounced it as simple-minded were to read it, they would find it sophisticated. They might even find it nuanced.
During FOX News' January 20 inauguration coverage, Kristol provided post-speech analysis as a member of a panel led by FOX News managing editor Brit Hume and also featuring Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan, Roll Call executive editor and FOX News contributor Morton M. Kondracke, and Weekly Standard executive editor Fred Barnes. Kristol praised Bush's speech, described "the only sentence" of the speech he would have edited, and noted the "remarkable collaboration" between Bush and speechwriter Michael Gerson in crafting the address. But Kristol failed to disclose his own role in consulting for the speech.
From FOX News' January 20 live inauguration coverage:
KRISTOL: So I think it's actually a deep understanding of America's mission. A very eloquent speech, of course. Maybe one of the most powerful speeches, one of the most impressive speeches, I think I've seen an American president give.
If I were editing this speech, the only sentence I think maybe I would have changed which was to simply say we are ready to meet, perhaps, the examples of those of our forebears and our forefathers who fought so valiantly in the history of freedom and I think that will play into a sort of sophisticated criticism that "Gee, the president is susceptible to hubris and is too grandiose." But having said that, except for Lincoln, no speech is perfect, and I think he's entitled to a slight slip in one sentence.
I've seen Mike Gerson over the past couple of months, and he has been working very hard on this speech. But he has been working with the president on it, and it is a remarkable collaboration.
Also part of FOX News' January 20 inauguration coverage, Krauthammer praised Bush's speech. Like Kristol, Krauthammer neglected to disclose his involvement:
KRAUTHAMMER: It was a revolutionary speech in that sense [that American freedom is contingent upon the spread of freedom abroad] and the closest echo is to, really, John Kennedy's speech, his inaugural address where he talked about -- in fact, there's a phrase in this inaugural which is an allusion to a famous phrase in Kennedy's. Kennedy spoke of bearing any burden to assure the survival and success of liberty, and President Bush said that in order to ensure the survival of liberty at home, we have to have the success of liberty abroad, which was an interesting allusion to that speech. The idea is the same. Kennedy spoke in the Cold War and said, only if we stand for the liberty that we have at home ... stand for that abroad, will we succeed against communism and secure our liberty at home. And the president is saying in this struggle against another existential enemy, which is radical Islam and terrorism, we have to spread the democracy as the only realistic way of the changing the culture out of which a 9-11 emerged. And that's a very strong theme -- of course it had a lot of opposition at home and abroad. But it is extremely revolutionary. To speak, essentially, about the abolition of tyranny, which has been a constant in human history for thousands of years, can only be spoken of as radical.

Evanston, Wyo. • The sign in front of Jolly Jacs Fireworks World could be the slogan for July 4th pyromaniacs everywhere:
"Where things go boom and dreams come true."
For thousands of Wasatch Front residents who want bootleg illegal fireworks or are searching for deals on the Utah-legal variety, a pre-holiday trip just across the border to Evanston is a tradition as nearly as old as Independence Day itself.
"We have a larger customer base in Utah," said Courtney Morgan, manager of Jolly Jacks, one of four large fireworks outlets in this Wyoming border town. "It's a solid 80 to 85 percent of our business. People go nuts."
Salespeople at the huge fireworks stores seem to know Utah laws by heart. Some buyers are simply looking for bargains on the legal stuff. Others definitely want to test the law by purchasing illegal aerials, bottle rockets or firecrackers.
Morgan said a good number of Wasatch Front residents will camp in motor homes or stay in Evanston motels on July 4th. They can light Wyoming fireworks in city parks or ball fields as well as enjoy the massive city-sponsored celebration.
Last Wednesday morning, the majority of the cars in Evanston firework stores bore Utah license plates, though Fred Cansler of Chino Valley, Ariz., was searching the aisles of Porters Fireworks and Liquor. That border store sells fireworks and liquor, both likely cheaper than most Beehive State outlets. He said a friend asked him to stop and pick up some packages for July 4th.
At Phantom Fireworks, a Millcreek resident who only identified himself as Zak was shopping, mainly for kid-friendly packages. He said that letting off fireworks and enjoying a barbecue are great ways to celebrate America.
Utah law enforcement officials remind those who might want to bootleg illegal booze and bombs across the border that there can be consequences if they are caught.
"There is no focused effort such as we had a few years ago," said Utah Highway Patrol corporal Todd Johnson, referring to a controversial sting operation where undercover police officers targeted car license plates in Evanston's firework stores. "Troopers in the course of their duties and patrols will take appropriate action if they see illegal fireworks."
Adam Miller from the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office said that a person who causes a fire with fireworks will be liable for the costs of fighting it. Using illegal fireworks is a Class B misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1,000.
Detective Veronica Montoya of the Salt Lake City Police Department said officers often respond to many complaints from neighbors living next to those using illegal fireworks and can issue citations for violations. That includes confiscation of fireworks, which are stored in bunkers near the airport.
There may be pent up demand from a year ago when heavy fire restrictions caused many Utahns to not purchase or light as many fireworks.
"We're very busy," said Destinee Sather of Porter's Place. "It's better than last year. Last year, we were so empty on the 4th that it was depressing, mainly because of the Utah ban on fireworks. We are hoping it will rain. That is better for business."
She said the most expensive package of pyrotechnics was the $500 Big Bang package, which also includes many free additions. Sather said some families each chip in $100 so they can have a big backyard show.
Walking through the aisles of the four main Evanston fireworks stores shows just how fun marketing can be. At Porter's Place, there was one firework that resembled a laptop computer and another that looked like a miniature stadium.
Packages with names such as "Wizard of Ahhs," "Moonshine," "Baby Pyro," "Burst and Blossom," "Aerial Avalanche," "God of Fireworks," "Mucho Fiesta," "The Godfather," "Black Mamba" and "Smoke 'n Mirrors" entice customers who enjoy seeing their hard-earned money go up in smoke.
Twitter @tribtomwharton Utah fireworks laws
Class C fireworks can be sold from June 23 to July 27, from December 29 to December 31, and two days before and on Chinese New Year's Eve. They may discharged between the hours of 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. from July 1 to July 7, with July 4th hours extended to midnight; from July 21 through July 27 with July 24th hours extended to midnight; Dec. 31 from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Jan. 1, and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. the following day on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Illegal fireworks in Utah include sky rockets, missile type rockets, bottle rockets, Roman candles, cannon crackers, ground salutes, firecrackers, M-80, Cherry Bombs and similar explosives, a single shot or reloadable aerial shell, and any "cakes" with more than 500 grams of pyrotechnic composition. Fireworks safety tips
Purchase fireworks from licensed dealers and read all instructions carefully.
Children should not handle fireworks. They must be at least 16 years of age to handle or light fireworks.
Avoid using alcohol or drugs when lighting fireworks.
Leave sufficient space from trees, carports, structures, power lines or other high or low obstacles for aerial or legal cake fireworks, which need at least 10 feet of clearance in the air.
Do not alter, change or experiment with fireworks.
Store fireworks in a cool, dry place.
Never light fireworks in windy conditions or under a carport.
Keep a bucket of water or running hose nearby when lighting fireworks.
Wear safety glasses.
Keep unused fireworks 30 feet away from the shooting area.
Light fireworks one at a time.
Use caution with animals.

RADNOR, Pa. – The No. 14 Cabrini men's lacrosse team suffered a narrow 6-5 season-opening loss versus local rival No. 7 Haverford College on Saturday afternoon at Edith Robb Dixon Field. The Black Squirrels scored five unanswered goals and out-scored the Cavaliers 5-1 in the second half en route to the victory.
Senior attackman Paul Skulski (Glen Mills, Pa./Garnet Valley HS) led the Cabrini offense, recording three points with two goals one assist. Skulski's second goal of the contest with 3:47 remaining in the fourth quarter pulled the Cavaliers within one score.
The Blue & White won the ensuing face-off and had two possessions down the stretch with a chance to even the count, but could not convert the game's equalizer. Haverford junior goalkeeper Joe Banno stopped 19 shots in the win.
Senior midfielder Dan Terenick (Woodlynn, Pa./Ridley HS) contributed two points for the Cavaliers, scoring two goals. Sophomore attackman Bobby Thorp (Marlton, N.J./Cherokee HS) also netted one goal. Sophomore midfielder Brandon Dunn (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga HS) dished two assists.
Cabrini owned a 2-0 advantage after one quarter. Skulski opened the scoring with an unassisted tally at the 8:21 mark. Terenick pushed the lead to two goals on his first goal of the game with just one second remaining in the period.
After the Black Squirrels cut the Cavaliers' lead to one goal, 2-1, the Blue & White closed the opening half with two scores, a second from Terenick and one from Thorp. Cabrini out-shot the Black Squirrels in the first half, 23-6, and for the game, 37-21.
However, Haverford keyed the game's decisive 5-0 run with three goals in the third quarter, erasing its 4-1 deficit and tying the contest heading into the final stanza. Senior midfielder Travis Gregory netted one goal and added one assist for the Black Squirrels in the third.
Haverford took its first lead of the game on Gregory's second tally at the 10:24 mark of the fourth quarter. Freshman attackman Nick Schoen deposited the eventual game-winning goal with 7:01 remaining.
Gregory finished with three points, pairing two goals with one assist. Junior midfielder Phillip Valliant tallied two points, scoring one goal and dishing one assist.
Senior attackman Max Hjelm handed out two assists. Hjelm was limited on the offensive end by Cabrini junior defenseman John McSorley (Ridley Park, Pa./Ridley HS) after notching four goals against the Cavaliers last season.
McSorley and senior defenseman Steve Heaps (Street, Md./North Harford HS) each caused three turnovers. McSorley led the Blue & White in the hustle category with six groundballs. Cabrini won the groundball battle, 41-26.
The Cavaliers and Black Squirrels split 14 face-off opportunities. Senior face-off specialist Mike Gurenlian (Springfield, Pa./Springfield (Delco) HS) won 7-of-12 tries for the Blue & White.
Sophomore goalkeeper Erick Zarzecki (Owings Mills, Md./Pikesville HS) made six saves for the Cavaliers in the loss.
The victory is Haverford's second straight against the Blue & White. The Black Squirrels also captured a one-goal victory, 9-8, against the Cavaliers.
Cabrini (0-1) plays its second of four straight at Edith Robb Dixon Field on Saturday, March 5 against No. 10 Lynchburg College. Face-off against the Hornets is set for 1 p.m.

• pyknic •
Pronunciation: pik-nik • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: No, today's word does not refer to a witches' outdoor party; it is an adjective meaning "stocky, stout, thickset". It belongs to a trio of adjectives describing body types, which includes asthenic "lean, flat-chested, and narrow-shouldered", and athletic "muscular, broad-shouldered".
Notes: A pyknic person may be referred to as a pyknic (not in their presence, of course). This word is used mostly in psychology, where research has tried to map traits of temperament onto these types. These are the terms of Ernst Kretschmer. William Sheldon used the terms endomorphic (fat), ectomorphic (skinny), and mesomorphic (muscular), and associated different temperaments to them.
In Play: This word replaces "stout" or "thickset, if you want to impress your friends or send them running for the nearest dictionary: "Tad Poole was a rather short, pyknic youth, who grew into a strikingly gallant man." Today's word can also be used as a noun: "Tad was a pyknic; his brother Gene was a tall asthenic. Together they looked like Mutt and Jeff."
Word History: Today's Good Word is a Western European adaptation of Greek pyknos "thick, compact, firm". English borrowed it from French, whose interpretation of it was picnique. Apparently, its ancestor survived only in Greek. One possibility is that it comes from the Proto-Indo-European word puk- "thick-haired", which turned up in German as Fuchs and English as fox. This word today in Russian is pukh "down, fluff" and pushistyi "fuzzy, bushy". Alternatively, it could be related to puge "buttocks, behind", as in callipygian, another dead end (if you'll pardon the pun). (Today's Good Word was recommended by Larry Brady, Stargazer and Grand Panjandrum of the Alpha Agora, and we thank him most heartily for it.)

These days, people are becoming more concerned about where their food comes from and how it's produced. Many, with the fear of growth hormones in their food, pesticides on their fruits and vegetables or the realization that some agricultural practices can be harmful to the environment, are turning to producing as much food as they can at home.
"Generally speaking, home food production has increased in the last 10 to 12 years," said Levy County UF/IFAS extension agent Anthony Drew.

Hey all, I'm trying to get a font to load on a site design (it's offline so I can't link to it but if it will help I can sort out hosting it).
I'm trying to load this font: http://californiafonts.com/fonts/16595/wormboy_earthworm-jim
@font-face {
font-family: 'botchfont';
src: url('fonts/Jim.eot');
src: local('fonts/Jim'),
url('fonts/Jim.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/Jim.svg#font') format('svg');
I followed a guide and converted it because the original ttf wasn't doing anything, but it's still not working. It appears to be 'attempting' to load it as when I applied it to the body as a test, the text didn't immediaetly appear and when it did it defaulted to Times New Roman instead. The other font (League Gothic) I am using works fine so I assume it is something to do with the font, but I don't know. Are there limitations on what fonts you can use? I just want it to work for my Headers.
Thanks for reading.
What happens if you eliminate this bit?
Same thing, the particular text (in this case an H1) takes longer to appear than the rest so it is doing something, but just won't take that font.
Is this just in a particular browser? Bulletproof @font-face code usually has more font formats than you have, such as a .woff version. You can get the full code you need by using this link:
Ok coverted the font and upload the design at http://12pointwebdesign.co.uk/botch/ and used the custom code that fontsquirrel provided, but no change. I've tested it in IE and same problem. I don't know if it will do this for you but for me it takes a few seconds for the text to appear before it comes in Times New Roman, so maybe it is downloading? Maybe the font just can't work online. NOTE: It should be applying to the "Hello World" and the sidebar headers.
I think you are on the right track, but you need to update your file paths. You've placed the fonts in the /fonts/ folder, but that's not where you are telling your style sheet to find them. This:
@font-face {
font-family: 'earthworm_jimregular';
src: url('jim-webfont.eot');
src: url('jim-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('jim-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('jim-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('jim-webfont.svg#earthworm_jimregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
should be this:
@font-face {

so as Ralph said, the fonts are not being called properly.As a side issue - Are you really going to run with the B logo that is WAY to close to WWE for confort?!
Yes, as noted above, the links are missing a reference to the /fonts/ folder, where the fonts are actually stored. (I tested the updated links, and the fonts are defiantly there. )
Previously they were pointing to the Fonts folder, after I replaced it witht he custom squirrel code I forgot to update the links, now it appears to be working Thanks for the input!
It's just a design, I noticed the Botchamania guy say he wanted to update his site so I thought I'd give it a shot since I had some free time and I thought the logo would be funny. I don't know the specific laws since he has T-Shirts using the Wrestlemania logo design, but if it's an issue it can be removed, just thought the site could use a smaller logo instead of the whole title. I thought it came out pretty well at least, thanks for your input.
It made me smile
In essence you can't use someone else's design, change an element and put it out onto the public market. Its the same as the Rolox Watches, Popsi Cola and iPhoen 'brands'!
It came out really well!
Well I'll knock it together, if he wants to keep the logo he can, if not, the site goes on my portfolio either way. Thanks again guys.

Thread: Should you invest??????
Should you invest??????
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today!
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for the recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
And as a bonus...A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that on average Americans drink 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that the average American gets about 41miles to the gallon!
Makes you darn proud to be an American, doesnt it?

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer
MONROE — In a world with diminishing bastions of masculinity, there has always been the football field.
Girls on the gridiron? Not likely, unless they were the cheerleaders leading the team out before the game. Or maybe the girls in the marching band, which is how it was for Theresa Trinka-Hoard, who graduated from Bothell High School and lives today in Snohomish.
Playing halftime shows with her high school band "was the closest I ever got to the football field," Trinka-Hoard said.
Even as women have made advances in other sports over the years, football has always remained the pride and province of men.
Until now, that is. Because the women of the Everett Reign are adjusting their shoulder pads and tightening their chin straps in anticipation of their upcoming season in the Women's Football Alliance, a league with 13 divisions and 50 teams from across the United States.
If you're thinking this is something like powder puff football, think again.
"This is real football," said 23-year-old Brynn Winsor of Monroe, a receptionist in the cardiology department of the Everett Clinic who plays on the team's offensive and defensive lines. "It's full tackle. It's what you see on Sundays."
The WFA has been around a few years, but this is the first season for the Reign, a team of women mostly in their 20s and 30s. They come from varied careers and sports backgrounds, but are united by their love of football and the opportunity to play a game that has been, to this point, mostly off-limits to their gender.
"I've wanted to play my entire life," said wide receiver and defensive back Brooklyn Holton of Arlington, a 23-year-old student at Western Washington University who is pursuing degrees in business management and kinesiology. "There's this feeling you get when you're out there — and anyone that's played football can relate to it — and it's that feeling you get when you make a block or catch the football.
"You have to play to understand why somebody would want to do this so bad, but then once you play, you don't want to do anything else," she said.
The Reign is coached by Billy Russo, who played football at Lakewood High School in the early 1990s before going on to play one season at Western New Mexico University and then a few seasons of semipro back in Snohomish County. He has been a high school assistant coach and today is the head coach at Park Place Middle School in the Monroe School District.
"Some of our girls have never played football before, so they're still learning," he said. "But we've got some real athletes on the team, and I think our starting lineup is going to be really solid."
Compared to men, Reign players "give up a lot in terms of strength," Russo said. "But we have a few girls who are super aggressive. They get after it. I was actually shocked by a couple of them."
Among them Winsor, who plays a bruising game. "I'm very physical," she said, "and I have no problem with the contact. It's a way to release your aggressions and stresses."
Winsor and Holton are two of the team's younger players, but there are older players, too. One of them is Trinka-Hoard, a personal trainer who is 55 — no, that's not a typo — and has four adult children. Her youngest plays football at Carroll College in Helena, Mont.
"I really didn't know much about football until my son started playing, but I've grown to love the sport," said Trinka-Hoard, an offensive and defensive lineman. "And now I understand why men love football and why they're so hooked on it. Because there's nothing like putting on pads and a helmet, and then going out there and hitting. It's great."
It was her husband who suggested she try out for the Reign, and at first "I laughed my head off," Trinka-Hoard said. "But then I thought about it and decided, well, one more thing for the bucket list."
Not everyone understands, of course. Family members fear for their safety. A few friends think they are nuts. And, sadly, some people believe a woman who wants to play football is somehow "less of a female," Holton said.
But others, men and women alike, are completely encouraging.
"The majority of my friends are very supportive," Trinka-Hoard said. "So many people come up to me and say, 'It's the coolest thing that you're doing this.' … I just have a few women who don't understand it, but I think they will eventually.
"Besides," she added, "I like the idea of being very feminine if I want to, and then being able to come out here and kick ass."
As much as they love playing, the women have complaints about the apparel. Football gear is designed for male bodies, which means women have to wear pants and pads that are too big in some places, too small in others. Players were given new equipment at a recent Reign practice, and some were struggling to pull on snug football pants intended to fit the thighs, hips and derrières of men.
Likewise, shoulder pads do not rest properly on a woman's chest, "and my hip pads are not where my hips are," Winsor said.
But those are small grievances compared to the surpassing joy of simply playing the game.
"I'm doing something that I love," Holton said. "And I'm not afraid of getting injured because if you get injured doing something you love, it's worth it."
No one is quite sure how the public will respond to a football team for women, but the players are hoping it catches on. In particular, they want other women to get interested and consider playing, too.
"I think women will want to come out and see what it's all about," Winsor said. "Because it's empowering. For me it's like, 'Boys do this, and I want to do it, too.'"
"I grew up in an era when this would've been frowned upon," said Trinka-Hoard. "It would've been ludicrous. But now I get to do it, too."

McCray extends Barons' string of zeros
White Sox prospect goes seven in Birmingham's latest shutout
By Jonathan Raymond / MiLB.com | July 19, 2013 7:52 PM ET
Double-A Birmingham handled Chattanooga pretty easily Thursday night, limiting the Lookouts to four hits in a 4-0 win.
Stephen McCray went out Friday night and ensured a repeat performance.
The White Sox prospect actually one-upped Spencer Arroyo by allowing one hit over seven innings as the Barons blanked the Lookouts again, 1-0.
"You know, it's great. It's always fun to pitch in a so-called pitchers' duel," McCray said. "Always fun to do that, every inning going out, knowing you have to put up another zero. It's just a fun atmosphere and it's a very good level of competition."
One night after Arroyo gave up four hits over seven innings, McCray (9-6) struck out four and did not walk a batter as he lowered his ERA to 3.56. He's been at his best in July, posting a 1.09 ERA and 25 strikeouts against five walks over 24 2/3 innings. In June, the 25-year-old right-hander had a 6.95 ERA in five outings.
"The main thing earlier in the season is I wasn't attacking the hitters. I wasn't trying to generate as much contact," McCray said. "I'm confident I can make them hit the ball now early in the count, and the guys behind me do a great job. So I'm just trying to attack hitters as much as possible.
"It's always good to string some starts together, get that confidence level going. I was shaky in June and it's just a good feeling, where you know you can go out and see the results of the work you've been putting it, the different things you worked on that are making you successful."
The 2010 16th-round pick out of the University of Tennessee has made a steady climb through the White Sox system. He went 6-2 with a 2.48 in his debut with Rookie-level Great Falls before repeating the Pioneer League in 2011.
Last year, he began his ascent in earnest, notching a 3.18 ERA, 105 strikeouts and 46 walks over 133 innings between Class A Kannapolis and Class A Advanced Winston-Salem.
Through those three years, though, he's always split his time pretty evenly between starting and working out of the bullpen. This season is his first as a full-time starter.
"I've always enjoyed starting a little more than the bullpen. The bullpen is fun 'cause you get the adrenaline rush, you don't know when you're going to get called, but I do like the routine, being a creature of habit," McCray said. "Knowing every fifth day you're getting the ball, being able to put your work in four days and then go out is nice."
Overall, McCray has 62 strikeouts and 37 walks over 101 innings and shares the Southern League lead with nine wins.
McCray pitched from the lead almost from the outset Friday as White Sox No. 2 prospect Trayce Thompson delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the first on his way to a 2-for-4 night.
Rehabbing White Sox slugger Paul Konerko went 0-for-4 after going 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI on Thursday.
"[Konerko] is a great guy, great clubhouse guy, everything you ever heard about him," McCray said. "I've grown up watching him play, always known who he is -- he's a household name -- and it's good having him around. You can see why he has the reputation he has around baseball."
Salvador Sanchez followed McCray and struck out two in a perfect eighth before Dan Remenowsky fanned one in a 1-2-3 ninth for his first save of the season.

Recent User Reviews
"Relatively decent for the price i paid"
- 4.0/5,
Pros - Isolation, 3 button apple remote, slim headphone jack, good accessories, comfort
Cons - Design is a bit plain, earphones are made out of all plastic, no cable joiner, no strain reliefs
Introduction - I found these at Wal-Mart (surprisingly), and they were selling for 20 bucks, so i could not turn them down.
Design & Build - The design of these earphones are a bit plain. The earpieces have this two-tone, color of matte black and gloss gray. The cable feels very soft and pretty thick. It is not overly thick, and it does not feel cheap to me. The ear tip design is really clever, i think, because once you install the right ear tip, isolation and comfort, for me, is outstanding! I have never been more happy with an earphone's isolation and comfort.
Ergonomics - When you put these earphones in your ear, the earpieces stick out... luckily, they can be pressed into the ear canal and that problem will be solved. I do not recommend that however because it may cause discomfort. The included tip selection ranges from extra small to extra large. The medium size tips are already on when you purchase the earphones.
Sound -
Bass: It does not have that much impact, however, it does blend into the mids rather well, and i really haven't noticed any of the instruments sounding drowned out by the bass. It is exactly where it needs to be.
Midrange: The mids are actually pretty clear. Vocals have a nice filling factor to them, and the bass and treble do not harm them in any way.
Treble: This region is emphasized, but only by a tiny bit. You can hear drums and cymbals very well. It does not sound harsh in any way, so i feel that the treble is well controlled.
Overall - With the price that i paid for these, $20, i could recommend these for the rest of my life. These are a bargain! If you are not an audiophile and you just want a nice sounding earphone, without paying a high amount of money, check these out. These do have some flaws, and there are better sounding products out there, but you will have to pay a high amount of money to get them. Thanks for checking out this review!

RA picks the September festival highlights from across the globe.
RA's Nick Sylvester chats to the LCD Soundsystem frontman and disco DJ in advance of his performance at this year's Electric Zoo festival.
Disco is big yet again in London town, and Horse Meat Disco are largely responsible. RA talks to Jim Stanton and James Hillard, two of the DJs behind the party, to find out more.
RA catches up with Booka Shade in advance of their appearance at this year's Get Loaded in the Park to talk about their vaunted live show and their upcoming record.
Whereas their more vaunted Norwegian contemporaries can be neatly pigeonholed as future disco visionaries, it's nearly impossible to categorize the work of Mungolian Jetset. RA chats up the Oslo duo.

A couple of things spring to mind
Firstly make sure that you have set the boot order correctly in the bios ie: make sure that it is set to boot from the cdrom drive before any other boot devices.
Secondly I don't understand why it will only read a dvd and not a cd, as all dvd drives will read a cd, unless the cd is damaged or the drive is faulty or possibly one or both of them need cleaning.
Thirdly I presume that the Windows XP home cd is full version and not just a recovery cd as most that are supplied with computers nowadays are just recovery cds.
As you say it happens with other install disks as well I would suspect it is either of the first two options and the most likely of any of them is the first.

Looking Back: Jessica Chastain
Zee says: A Chanel gown while on baby duty? Hell, yeah. Just make sure there's plenty of stretch and volume for mobility—and, for obvious reasons, pick a dark color.
Zoe says: I'm constantly having to go somewhere, but I take my son with me when I can. So I often find myself with Skyler on my hip while in a designer dress, like this dreamworthy Chanel gown. And yes, sometimes I'll get, like, avocado smashed all over me. That's just my life right now.
Zee says: I have a fantasy that traveling should require us to don our best. But in real life I'm constantly flying in jeans and a sweatshirt. RZ, however, nails the perfect middle ground with leather pants and a fur.
Zoe says: For me, an oversize fur—faux or real—is easy: It doesn't wrinkle, and it's kind of like wearing a big blanket.

But conservatives such as Sherk draw a contrast with non-government employees.
The real takeaway, though, was that not just anyone can be a great artist, but anyone can learn to draw.
Obviously not in color, but you draw your color inspiration from original documents.
I had to draw the line so close to myself that I essentially gave up almost any contact with married men.
In Dresden, Germany, anti-Islam rallies each week draw thousands of demonstrators.
So that her next attempt to draw him out was edged with temper.
The sailors saw him draw his revolver, and they knew what it meant.
He longed to draw closer to the spot, but he knew that he dared not move.
She then proceeded, in red crayon, to draw a fully equipped heart.
Not two words together, from which you can draw any reasonable conclusion.
