Form, Iris Murdoch warns, is the artist's consolation and his temptation: he is tempted to sacrifice the eccentric, contingent individual while he consoles himself with the secure boundaries of structure. As she sees it, this constitutes a crisis since the contemporary novelist tends to produce fiction in the shape of tiny, self-contained, crystal-like objects. Diagnosing the tyranny of form as an ill that must be cured, she postulates a return to the novel of character as it is manifested in the works of Scott, Jane Austen, George Eliot and Tolstoy, for these nineteenth-century writers were so capable of charity that they gave their people an independent existence in an external world….
Surely few modern writers are as concerned as [Murdoch] is with the plight of the novel. Few have contributed so many dazzling, not to say intelligent, essays on the subject. And few have worked within forms as...

Presentation: How journalists can use social media
Posted on : 24-07-2009 | By : Vadim Lavrusik | In : Higher Education, Social Media
Tags: collegemedia, Facebook, onlinejournalism, skype, socialmedia, Twitter, youtube
Today I gave a workshop to college journalists from around the country at the Associated Collegiate Press Summer workshops. The title of the presentation was supposed to be, "Beyond Facebook and Twitter: Using Social Media as a Journalist." Well, below are the results of the powerpoint I made. Though the presentation was for college journalists, the same principles apply.
Many of the key points come from the a Mashable post that I wrote a month back, but expanded on some of the example quite a bit. I would love some feedback. The college journalists seemed to respond well to it.

- Horse Videos
- - Blind Horse at NW Mountain Trail Challenge
Blind Horse at NW Mountain Trail Challenge I'm new here, but saw this area to post videos and thought I'd share videos of my horse, Smokey, at last year's Mountain Trail Challenge in Eugene, OR. Smokey is completely blind and has been since the age of 8; he is now 20. Part one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q5ieHBEQ_-U Part two: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kfVD_CQ0KEg Thanks for letting me post this here! |
First off Welcome aboard!!! :D That was totally awesome!!! 8) I can't even walk around my house with the lights off without crashing into something! What trust he must have!!!! Good job! Well done! |
wow! he must really trust you :) thats awesome :D |
:shock: :shock: Incredible, what a brave horse :shock: :shock: |
13 Attachment(s) Wow. :shock: That is amazing! |
Stunning! Wow! Good job! Oh and welcome to the Horse Forum ;) |
That is sooo cool I bet you and your horse have an amazing relationship..Welcome to the forum, you'll love it! Does everyone agree that horses can feel energy and stuff. Do you think Smokey could feel the logs energy? Does it work like that? |
That's an example at a human-horse relationship at its best. You'll never see a horse do something like that without. Kuddos to her and the horse for taking on the challenge. |
Thank you everyone for your very sweet comments! It was very touching at the event to have hardened old time cowboys tell me that they were fighting tears watching my horse. As far as the energy of the objects goes, I don't know for certain, but I believe that it is quite possible. Smokey has an uncanny way of "knowing" where things are sometimes.... I love my horse beyond words and I think he feels similarly...I wish that the feeling could be bottled. :) |
Wow, that is so amazing. Its just like a real life version of the movie The Long Shot... a movie about a single mother trying to survive while working at a barn and then all of a sudden her horse goes blind but she still manages to compete in a musical free style comp. That movie always makes me cry. I think when you have a relationship and a true bond with a horse you will never find anything better. |

NIOSH Total Worker Health Program Explores Employer Support for Work and Family Balance
July 17, 2012
NIOSH Update:
Contact: Nura Sadeghpour, (202) 245-0673
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Total Worker Health™ (TWH™) Program this week published an article emphasizing the link between employer support for work and family balance and the reduction of safety health risks, recognizing employees' need for quality and flexible childcare, particularly during the summer months. The article is published within TWH™ in Action!, an electronic newsletter dedicated to bringing the latest news from the TWH™ Program and partners.
Recent surveys have found that decreased work-family stress is related to reduced injury risk, and increased safety compliance and safety participation among workers. The article, contributed by the Oregon Healthy Workforce Center (ORHWC), a NIOSH Center of Excellence, describes several tips employers can employ to help their teams achieve better work-family balance including training managers and supervisors, increased employee control of work hours, and support of flexible schedules. It can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/TWH/newsletter/TWHnewsV1N2.html
"The protection and improvement of the well-being of all people who work are goals shared by workers, their families, and employers," said NIOSH Director John Howard, M.D. "There is increasing evidence that the work environment and the overall well-being of the workers within it are strongly connected, and many employers are offering family-friendly benefits and programs for their employees."
The Total Worker Health Program is a strategy integrating health protection with health promotion to prevent worker injury and illness and to enhance well-being. Diminished health and injury, whether caused by work or resulting from non-work activities, reduces quality of life, opportunity, and income for workers and those dependent upon them. Conversely, workplaces with low risk of injury and enhanced opportunities for the total health of workers can lead to a vibrant, engaged and highly performing workforce. For more information on TWH™: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/TWH/totalhealth.html

text: Today we have the Thermaltake Overseer RX-I for review. The Overseer boasts of a lot of modern additions that we love to see on cases these days. The CableClear Cable Management should improve temperatures in your system by ensuring that power cables do not get in the way of airflow. You will have USB 3.0 access right on the front of the case, which is now an internal connection to the motherboard. The HDD Docking Station enables data transfer to any bare 2.5″ or 3.5″ SATA hard drive without the need for an enclosure. The Overseer is ready for enthusiasts' water cooling with the spacious interior that features a top removable panel that can be easily transformed to accommodate a 240mm radiator. In addition to the two over sized 200mm fans with Blue LED Lighting and one 120mm rear exhaust fan, you can install two additional 200mm fans and even another 120MM fan in the bottom. Enough with the niceties, however, now lets' move on to the actual testing in order to see how well the Overseer RX-I really does.

Urban Shooter Podcast #299
The opening song this week was supposed to be "Cruising," a Smokey Robinson classic. I admit it was not done justice by Bones Hooks. But is apropos to so many of us just cruising through life, not quite sure where we are going or what we are experiencing. We are traveling around in a sea of discontent. Pissed off at the President of the United States, pissed off at the economy, pissed off at the environment, pissed off at our lot in life, our pants are too tight, the publisher clearing house guy didn't arrive yet, we didn't get the winning Powerball ticket, and we are stuck in a job we can't stand. Can't leave because we don't know what's out there if there is anything.
Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, take it from me. This is it. You have to take what you have and make the best of it for you and your family. You don't get a do-over. You can't live in that great river in Egypt, Denial, or float around on a sea of regret.
You can't get mad because some barefoot foreign who was eating out of a mountain of human refuge gets over here and becomes a millionaire. Get your spoiled but off the couch and change your situation. This is America. This is greatest nation in the world. She is still beautiful and she don't owe you mother busting thing but the freedom to do better for yourself. If you got a bucket list, your operating system is busted. Don't wait to live.
Every man dies, but not everyman truly lives. (http://youtu.be/I1G_Bzu52DY)- scene from Braveheart

New Radar Update 14.07.15
Thanks Maverick
Tom Tom Europa v1.20 unofficial Europe+Turkey
This post requires you to click the "LIKE this post" button and hit F5 to read this content.
Regarding the 1st version in this post and the later one (with 14/7/2015 radar updates):
Does work on iPhone 4s (7.1.2) and 5 (8.4), but cant get it to install on iPhone4 (7.1.2).
I used the same jailbreak (Pangu 1.2.1) as on the 4s.
I eventually did a recovery thru iTunes, and still no luck.
iFunbox ends up with Failed to install.
iPhone4 has 4gb free space.
Installed Appsync Unified + Apple File Conduit 2 + updated Cydia (necessary files).
The Benelux version of yours, from here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] does work though.
I have to disable the SK, LU and HR Safety Cams in order to make the other POI's to show/work.
@ garaveli
Thanks for the upload. Is it possible to get TTS voices with this version ?
But there's no download option in the app. I would like to add a female English (UK) voice. Can it be done manually and if so where can I get the files and where do I copy them to ?
I've tried copying the files from a previous version but it doesn't work, the voice doesn't appear in the list.
Hi guys, I have the same problem, I would like to use the application with the spanish advanced voice and it doesn't appear. Anyone knows how to do it??
Thanks a million.
Can you create version 1.20 with italian map 950 or explain how build it?thanks

The Top 10 Fashion Fads That Need To Come Back
I'm not totally okay with the general state of fashion in 2009. I treat fashion like I treat my convection oven and 1997 Mazda 323. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Here are 10 fashions we can all easily embrace the reemergence of.
Source: Darrin Klimek/Stone/Getty Images
10. Fanny Packs
Source: LaCoppola-Meier/Photodisc/Getty Images
Convenience is paramount with the fanny pack. Where else are you going to hold your 35mm film and map of the area? Alternately known (by me) as a FUPA pack, the fanny pack makes no compromises for design or symmetry when it comes to hauling around your valuables. Plus: granola bar whenever you want one.
9. Hammer Pants
Don't your balls feel pretty sweaty and confined right now? Don't you think you would have a much easier time dancing or, say, running through a Cave of Wonders if you had a little more room to let things move down there? Oh how I miss the Hammer Pants. Although, more precisely, I was always a fan of Zubaz.
8. Member's Only Jackets
Source: Style Bakery
Member's Only jackets made you look and feel like a field reporter in a third world country run by a ruthless despot who could only be unseated by your journalistic rigor, wit, and general savoir faire. Also, they had a lot of pockets which is great for the same reason fanny packs are great.
7. Hypercolor Shirts
Source: thefunctionkey.com
Hypercolor shirts were these amazing shirts that changed color when their temperature changed. We call that thermochromic fashion. So the big thing was to twist them up like you were going to tie dye them and then blow on that part of the shirt to see the design it made. Bonus, you had chicks (sometimes foxy, sometimes otherwise) blowing (on) you all the time. Bring it back, Hypercolor. And, by the way, I've got your new flagship: Hypercolor thongs.
6. Shoulder Pads
Source: Norma Zuniga/Stone+/Getty Images
Yeah, girls. Not very many dudes will admit this, but it's pretty hot if it looks like you might be able to take down a AA linebacker from Texas. Plus, most of the time shoulder pads were part of a very much empowered business suit. What? I can't be the only person out there that thinks a lady with a job is sexy. Call me a dreamer, but I want to be a stay-at-home dad when I grow up.

Tom Izzo Is Keeping the Streak Alive
March 18, 2010 – 9:50 am by timgunterMichigan State is making its thirteenth-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament as it opens as the fifth seed in the Midwest Region against the number twelve seed New Mexico State. The Spartans current NCAA streak is the third-longest in the nation behind Kansas and Duke. They shared the Big Ten regular season championship with Ohio State and Purdue, but they fell short in the conference tournament and lost to Minnesota. The Aggies should pose a threat to the Spartans as they are a highly explosive offensive team. The Aggies have five players averaging double figures but none of them really know how to play defense or rebound as they rank near the bottom nationally in scoring defense and rebounding margin. New Mexico State has been winning the close games, posting a perfect 8-0 record in games decided by five points or less, but this game will not be close at all. Michigan State will bounce back from a defeat to Minnesota and drub New Mexico State. As for how far MSU will go really depends on whether the players show up to play. Every four-year player recruited by Tom Izzo has appeared in at least one Final Four before leaving Michigan State, but I am not sure if that will happen this year. However, I do see them going to the Sweet 16.
Tom Izzo joined WIP in Philadelphia with Howard Eskin and Ike Reese (former Spartan football player) to talk about whether he has seen his team grow since the loss to North Carolina earlier in the season, whether it is hard to get his team excited to play in the conference tournament knowing that they are a lock for the NCAA Tournament, and what his formula is for winning games in the NCAA Tournament.
Whether he has seen his team grow since the loss to North Carolina earlier in the season:
"Well, number one, they were a little better then. They have had some injuries and I think once their confidence went they young guys went down in the tank. That is why I brought in a Knute Rockne-Reese. I brought you in there to speak to those guys about it. It is funny Ike, the things we did talk about there and they have kind of reared their ugly head throughout the year and it doesn't mean anyone is bad it just means we never really had that leadership where I am big on a player-coached team over a coach-coached team. You know in football, you can have a good coach and when those eleven guys are in the huddle with thirty seconds left and you are on the two-yard line your coach isn't doing anything. It is what goes on in that huddle. It is kind of that way, what goes on the court. Coaches can where their nice suits and make money and all of this stuff but players play the game."
Whether it is hard to get his team excited to play in the conference tournament knowing that they are a lock for the NCAA Tournament:
"It shouldn't be. I think if I had some of the guys I had even back… Probably Cleaves and Petersen, but those guys would have competed if it was checkers. You know Magic Johnson, you hear the Larry Bird stories. Ike Reese, I know when he was here he would have competed if they were playing a division II or Ohio State, but not everybody is like that and I think around the country coaches really play on this. Tubby Smith did a great job this year of playing on this. 'This is the only way we can get to the tournament.' Are you going to be a little bit more hungry? I hate to say it disappoints me but I guess realistically the answer is, yes. I don't know if it is hard to get them up but I do like your quote. I question whether they have outdid themselves. We moved to eighteen games in the Big Ten from sixteen plus the tournament. It just seems like we are beating the hell out of each other everyday."
On his change of philosophy from recruiting the one-and-done players to more "project" players:
"Well you are right there with Jay Wright who I think is a heck of a coach. He has really built it the right way but I got to tell you this Ike: I am not turning down any of those seven-footers that want to go one-and-done. Bu if you were a producer, I would be a little disappointed in you. I mean you could have done that for me and sent me one. The truth is that it is hard. You look at Billy Donovan and they have lost some guys every year. You look at some guys that have really been in trouble in the Pac-10 right now, UCLA. When you lose a lot of freshman and sophomores it is hard. It is hard to keep any consistency, any continuity. It is hard to bring guys in that want to play for the university and the alums like yourself and that is what I enjoy about college… I had Zach Randolph and I love Zach. I still talk to him to this day. Jason Richardson was two years and out. I mean if it is right for them, Zach and JR helped me get to another Final Four. I would be good with that. I don't think that we could get the players that Cal gets at Kentucky. I am not sure that I would enjoy four guys coming in and four guys leaving every year because I don enjoy the relationship. But if you two guys can find a seven-footer that Jay doesn't want over there and he wants to be one and done, call me."
What his formula is for winning games in the NCAA Tournament:
"Well we have made a run a lot of years, Ike, and some years we have made it is a seventh seed, five seed, two seed, we have done it different ways. It is not always great teams but I don think our guard play has been good. I do think our rebounding has been good. It doesn't do any good to play good defense. It would be your version of playing good defense for three downs and on fourth and three give up a first down. When we stop a team, the defense doesn't finisih until we get the rebound. Some people say that we are a good defensive team but we are not a good rebounding team or some people say that and I say, 'How could you be a good defensive team? We didn't finish the job.' I think that has been important. I think two, we have a system here. I have got great assistants. We kind of have a system when our mangers video. We have a real good preparation for tournament time and I think the quick turnarounds, if you play Friday, I think only once or twice if we won on the first night we have won on the second because we have a very good system for quick turnarounds."

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) today lauded the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent group under the umbrella of the Department of Health and Human Services, for its recommendation for routine testing for HIV of all people ages 15-64. The recommendation, posted online yesterday, comes six years after a panel at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued similar guidelines calling for such routine HIV testing (of individuals ages 13 to 64) in most medical settings such as health clinics, doctors' offices and emergency units; however, the CDC's guidelines have not been widely implemented due in part to questions as to who pays for such testing. Now, the recommendation from U.S. Preventive Services Task Force for similar testing guidelines—if adopted (after a month long period of public comment)—paves the way for Medicare and other government and private insurance programs to pay for such routine testing.
"If the panel ultimately adopts those recommendations, Medicare and most private health insurers will be required to pay for the tests."
"Making HIV testing a routine part of health care really is the key to controlling and reducing the number of undiagnosed individuals and will ultimately help us break the chain of news infections," said Michael Weinstein, President of AIDS Healthcare Foundation. "We applauded the recommendation of the CDC back in September 2006 for similar testing guidelines—as well as the American Medical Association, which offered similar guidelines in November 2007. What's key now is that these guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force can eliminate a huge obstacle to previous successful implementation of routine HIV testing in most health care settings: these guidelines, when adopted, will pave the way for both government and most private insurers to pay for the testing."
According to an article in the Los Angeles Times (11/20/12), "The draft guidelines were written by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent group that operates under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services to advise the government and the nation's physicians on the medical evidence for preventive health measures." The article also noted, "If the panel ultimately adopts those recommendations, Medicare and most private health insurers will be required to pay for the tests."
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's move dovetails with a landmark revision in the CDC's own HIV testing recommendations that were issued in September 2006. Through those recommendations, the CDC now encourages U.S. medical providers to make HIV testing a "routine part of care in health care settings for all patients ages 13 through 64," and encourages linkages to care and treatment for those found to be HIV infected. The CDC also suggested that, "(HIV)... screening should be routine, regardless of whether the patient is known or suspected to have specific behavioral risks for HIV infection."
"There are more than 1.1 million Americans currently living with HIV/AIDS. About half of that number do not consistently receive medical care, and more than one fifth of the total do not even know they are infected with HIV," said Whitney Engeran-Cordova, Senior Director, Public Health Division, for AIDS Healthcare Foundation. "We welcome these recommendations from the Task Force and believe its high time to implement the guidelines, a process which may also be made even easier now with the FDA's recent approval of one-minute HIV testing—available for the first time in the U.S. this past September."

Once Upon by Heidi Lender
- by Michael Dachstein
- Aug 9th, 2012
- Photography
What began as a self-imposed weekly photo assignment — "Stand on a bench. Make sure it's Monday. Wear something pretty." — transformed into this who-am-I photo-tale exploring the individual in various environments and apparel.
A former fashion editor and reporter on style-related subjects, I abandoned the world of words and appearances and moved to India nine years ago to study yoga and dive into the inner universe. My past and paths now collide in this project – personal façade vs. private interior.
Wardrobes and surrounding spaces are representations and reflections of who we are or who we purport to be. We explore, experiment and express the different aspects that are the ingredients of our individual, whether we are aware of it or not. Be it wild or controlled, we inevitably illustrate a part of ourselves.
The self-portrait series "Once Upon" whimsically plays upon this illustration. With a platform on which to stand, I investigate the host of personalities within, the layers that make up the self, the characters we hide, show, accept and reject, and the role that fashion and design play in molding those characters. My closet is colorful, a menagerie of clothes and accessories amassed on my journeys; though a collection untouched, unworn. Here, it has place and purpose. Headless self-portraits, piled with textures, lend a sense of objectivity, obscurity and freedom from identification.

The Dean Spanos Chargers fans had come to know did not inspire confidence. He seemed to be a risk averse man that was bad at gauging risk. He earned this reputation with his handling of all of the high profile decisions he had faced since the death of John Butler.
When his Head Coach, Marty Schottenheimer, and General Manager, A.J. Smith, were unable to work together, Spanos refused to act, instead waiting until Schottenheimer forced his hand. In the resulting Head Coach search Spanos allowed Smith to conduct a farce of a coaching search in which the decision to hire Norv Turner appeared to have been made in advance by Smith.
When his team missed the playoffs for a second straight season, but "finished strong," Dean Spanos blinked and was unable to pull the trigger on firing Turner and Smith. This failure to act gave Chargers fans another year of lame duck Head Coach and GM and another wasted year of Philip Rivers' career.

It is not often a team's season can be decided by one game but for the Highlanders that may be the case.
Taking on the Blues under the roof at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on Saturday is shaping as a key match for the side.
After the train wreck of a season last year - when optimism of making the playoffs for the first time since 2002 went down the plughole thanks to eight straight losses - the side has to win and win quickly to gain credibility and love from their scarred fan base.
The predicted clean-out occurred after last season with seven past or present All Blacks leaving the franchise.
Most of them will not be missed as their form was average last year.
It is hard to see the Highlanders figuring in the playoffs but with low expectations and if players can cut out the basic mistakes, which plagued them last year, they should improve on the 14th of last year.
Head coach Jamie Joseph's contract is up at the end of the season and anything but a playoff berth will see him move on.

Blizzard could dump 2 feet of snow, knock out power
BOSTON A blizzard threatened to strike the Northeast today, with up to 2 feet of snow expected along the densely populated Interstate 95 corridor from the New York City area to Boston and beyond.
From Pennsylvania to Maine, people rushed to stock up on food, shovels and other supplies, and road crews readied salt and sand, halfway through what had been a merciful winter.
Before the first snowflake had even fallen, Boston, Providence, R.I., Hartford, Conn., and other New England cities canceled school today, and airlines scratched more than 2,600 flights through Saturday, with the disruptions certain to ripple across the U.S.
Forecasters said this could one for the record books.
"This one doesn't come along every day. This is going to be a dangerous winter storm," said Alan Dunham, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Taunton, Mass. "Wherever you need to get to, get there by Friday afternoon and don't plan on leaving."
The snow is expected to start this morning, with the heaviest amounts falling at night and into Saturday. Wind gusts could reach 65 mph.
Widespread power failures were feared, along with flooding in coastal areas still recovering from Superstorm Sandy in October.
Boston could get more than 2 feet of snow, while New York City was expecting 10 to 14 inches. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said plows and 250,000 tons of salt were being put on standby.
To the south, Philadelphia was looking at a possible 4 to 6 inches.
"We hope forecasts are exaggerating the amount of snow, but you never can tell," Bloomberg said, adding that at least the bad weather is arriving on a weekend, when the traffic is lighter and snowplows can clean up the streets more easily.
Amtrak said its Northeast trains will stop running this afternoon.
Blizzard warnings were posted for parts of New Jersey and New York's Long Island, as well as portions of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, including Hartford, New Haven, Conn., and Providence. The warnings extended into New Hampshire and Maine.
In New England, it could prove to be among the top 10 snowstorms in history, and perhaps even break Boston's record of 27.6 inches, set in 2003, forecasters said. The last major snowfall in southern New England was well over a year ago – the Halloween storm of 2011.
Dunham said southern New England has seen less than half its normal snowfall this season, but "we're going to catch up in a heck of a hurry." He added: "Everybody's going to get plastered with snow."
Diane Lopes was among the shoppers who packed a supermarket Thursday in the coastal fishing city of Gloucester, Mass.
She said she went to a different grocery earlier in the day, but it was too crowded. Lopes said she has strep throat and normally wouldn't leave the house but had to stock up on basic foods – "and lots of wine."
She chuckled at the excitement the storm was creating in a place where snow is routine.
"Why are us New Englanders so crazy, right?" she said.
At a Shaw's supermarket in Belmont, Mass., Susan Lichtenstein stocked up, with memories of a 1978 blizzard on her mind. "This is panic shopping, so bread, milk, a snow shovel in case our snow shovel breaks," she said.
The governors of Connecticut and Massachusetts ordered nonessential state workers to stay home today.
Terrance Rodriguez, a doorman at a luxury apartment complex in Boston, took the forecast in stride.
"It's just another day in Boston. It's to be expected. We're in a town where it's going to snow," he said. "It's like doomsday prep. It doesn't need to be. People just take it to the extreme."

Silva on DL
Posted by Larry Stone
The Mariners placed Carlos Silva on the disabled list after the game with triceps tendinitis in his right elbow. That clears a roster spot for Ryan Feierabend to be activated tomorrow for the start. It was, by the way, finally confirmed that Feierabend really is going to make the start, as everyone has known for a few days. He's apparently in town but stayed back at the hotel.
As for Silva, Riggleman said he had felt some elbow pain in his bullpen session two starts ago, but didn't say anthing until after he got shelled yesterday. The plan is to rest Silva and bring him back in September. I suppose it would be nice for him to finish this season with some positive results to take into next year.
"It's something that I think if we were in a different part of the season, or the standings, he would pitch through it,'' Riggleman said.
Of course, if the Mariners were in a different part of the standings, they might not give someone 4-13, 5.93, an opportunity to pitch through anything. (Oops, I was looking at an old stat sheet. Make that 4-14, 6.36).

Maybe they can keep Silva on the DL until salary insurance kicks in to get back some of the wasted $12m.
Re. the young players now getting time, Clement and LaHair both look to be making adjustments; Reed looks to be pretty much a 4th OF as he has decent speed but no arm and no real power. Balentien needs to spend time with Uncle Lee as he needs to make adjustments to his approach.
I'd like to see Corcoran get some extended 8th inning work - maybe even close when JJ isn't available or if he continues to struggle. Corcoran is definitely more effective now than Green who is looking tired from pitching so much in the first half of the season. Good to see a guy take the bull by the horns when he finally gets a chance.

So, Silva's on the DL and Batista came in today in a relief appearance. I guess it's time to look at all the kids and options for next year.

Once again, something that should have happened two starts ago.
This manhood of pitching with pain (SILVA AND BATISTA) has been a waste.
Batista should have been put on the DL with all the injuries he has been dealing with. Pitching through pain when you are an average pitcher only hurts the team.
We can only hope to keep him there the rest of the year.

Faceplant should be suspended from the blog for hateful language, 60 days minimum. Poor spelling doesn't excuse abusive language.
Speaking of which, is there a disabled list for team executives? 60 days for foolish manipulation of team food after games, life for failure to build a farm system after 20 years, that sort of thing.

At this point in the season there is no point. The FO has done a tremendous job of fielding a horrible team and setting this organization back many years
but the funny thing is...I don't even give a damn anymore...haven't even watched a game in weeks, who wants to watch this bushleague craptastic Mariners anyway...what a waste of a summer....

Exactly right Strasburg Watch, Silva and Batista should be starting every fourth day and Felix every sixth day. In this way, we might compete for the prize,
Anyone for resigning Richie, Pepe and Jose? There can be no substitute for the worst record.

Dang,,, Silva on DL with elbow soreness. What do you expect when four of the Starters can't hit .200, and Kenji regularly throws a ball or two into Center Field on purpose.
Man, that guy needs to go to rehab, bad. Last years Steroids completely ruined his head.

This is horrible news. Perhaps now we'll win a few games, taking us out of dead last and eliminating us from the Steven Strasburg sweepstakes next June. May as well put Batista back in the rotation.

Silva and Bedard can play ping pong in the clubhouse until it's time to go home.
Can't wait till next season when Silva, Bedard, Batista and Washburn all return. The MOJO is already rising!

I don't always agree with Faceplant, but the individual posting under his name in this thread is not the original Faceplant, guaranteed. It's time for the webmaster to bust some of these juveniles who pull the name-stealing stunt over and over again.
This incredibly bad season is forcing self-examination on the M's. One of the things I hope they're learning is not to use up Sean Green in the first four months. (Two years in a row now, apparently.) I'm not sure what the lesson on Jimenez is, but I'm not encouraged.

I'm not sure what the lesson on Jimenez is, but I'm not encouraged.
The lesson with Jiménez is simple. Caesar does not belong with the big team, except maybe to throw batting practice. How many hits do we have to watch him give up hits in key situations as a middle inning reliever for the M's to know this? Yesterday, Jimenez cost the M's the game. He gave up two hits in a row to relinquish the lead. How demoralizing is it for the M's to see a great six run rally, only to have this guy tank?
On the other hand, if Stasburg takes Jiménez's roster spot in 2009, all will be well with the world again!

A few years ago, a pitcher was put on the DL with the reason being given "inability to pitch". Maybe both Buffet Silva and Batista can be put on the DL for all of 2009 for this reason and the team can collect salary insurance to recoup some of the $20m tied up with these two losers.
If you have to make up another reason, maybe tendinitus in the fingers for Batista from playing the saxophone too often and a groin pull for Silva pushing away from the post-game buffet table.

There's a rumor going around that Silva is having surgery. 1) To have his foot extracted from his mouth, and 2) To have band put in his stomach.

I just watched Strassburg on the NBC olympics web site and this kid is indeed good. The scouting reports I read is 98 mph fastball,
command all his pitches, slider, fastball, change-up. His mechanics look very workable as he drops his shoulder a bit too low in his motion.
As long as Riggleman is the field manager and keeps platooning Miguel Cairo at first, and keeps unlucky Beltre in the middle of the order, we have shot at nabbing Strasburg.

I think Strasburg shouldn't even CONSIDER Seattle. For, if he joins the team, his ERA will skyrocket, he'll have long innings and be totally ineffective. It's the Seattle Way.

The Q&A thread for everyone's favorite physician.
mabudon raised a good question as an aside in an Episode 3 spoiler thread. I would like the opinions of those who may be spoiler free so I thought we can move that to this forum.
Anybody know ?Originally Posted by mabudon
They should release complete tech drawings of many droids, similar to those tech journals they did on the vehicles 10+ years ago.
Another question, do you think Kenner/Hasbro was accurate in making the action figures with 2 legs and feet ?
I do not recall seeing his feet in either TESB or ROTJ but I may be missing something.

Otto: "Don't call me stupid."
This is as close as you can get to a picture-perfect ensemble comedy. Each of the main characters gets their time in the spotlight, from Palin's dog-maiming attempts to kill an old woman to Curtis' hilarious put-downs to Cleese's attempts to remain Properly British in the face of death threats and humiliations to almost every scene of Kline's Oscar-winning turn as the world's dumbest hit man. It's not exactly Monty Python, but it's the closest you're going to get in a movie with just one plotline.

Hi-Hog Livestock Panels and Gates
All Hi-Hog livestock panels, frame and gates, and overhead alley spreaders use a common connector system which allows you complete freedom to combine different weights without the need for adaptors. All Hi-Hog panels and gates are built with 60 000 psi high tensile steel tubing; the highest in the industry. The higher the tensile strength of the tubing, the further you can distort the tubing before it loses its ability to return to its original shape.
* The actual panel length is 1″ less than the descriptive name. For example, the overall length of a 12′ panel is 11′-11″ measured from the outside edge of the connectors. *The actual gate length is 5″ less than the descriptive name. For example, a 12′ gate is 11′-7″ long measured from the outside edge of the gate verticals.

HTML::FillInForm - Populates HTML Forms with data.
This module fills in an HTML form with data from a Perl data structure, allowing you to keep the HTML and Perl separate.
Here are two common use cases:
1. A user submits an HTML form without filling out a required field. You want to redisplay the form with all the previous data in it, to make it easy for the user to see and correct the error.
2. You have just retrieved a record from a database and need to display it in an HTML form.
Fill HTML form with data.
$output = HTML::FillInForm->fill( \$html, $q ); $output = HTML::FillInForm->fill( \@html, [$q1,$q2] ); $output = HTML::FillInForm->fill( \*HTML, \%data ); $output = HTML::FillInForm->fill( 't.html', [\%data1,%data2] );
The HTML can be provided as a scalarref, arrayref, filehandle or file. The data can come from one or more hashrefs, or objects which support a param() method, like CGI.pm, Apache::Request, etc.
The basic syntax is seen above the Synopsis. There are a few additional options.
Suppose you have multiple forms in a html file and only want to fill in one.
$output = HTML::FillInForm->fill(\$html, $q, target => 'form1');
This will fill in only the form inside
<FORM name="form1"> ... </FORM>
Passwords are filled in by default. To disable:
fill_password => 0
To disable the filling of some fields:
ignore_fields => ['prev','next']
To disable fields from being edited:
disable_fields => [ 'uid', 'gid' ]
To mark fields as being invalid (CSS class set to "invalid" or whatever you set invalid_class to):
invalid_fields => [ 'uid', 'gid' ]
The CSS class which will be used to mark fields invalid. Defaults to "invalid".
Absent fields are not cleared or in any way changed. This is not what you want when you deal with checkboxes which are not sent by browser at all when cleared by user.
To remove "checked" attribute from checkboxes and radio buttons and attribute "selected" from options of select lists for which there's no data:
clear_absent_checkboxes => 1
File upload fields cannot be supported directly. Workarounds include asking the user to re-attach any file uploads or fancy server-side storage and referencing. You are on your own.
Fields are cleared if you set their value to an empty string or empty arrayref but not undef:
# this will leave the form element foo untouched HTML::FillInForm->fill(\$html, { foo => undef }); # this will set clear the form element foo HTML::FillInForm->fill(\$html, { foo => "" });
It has been suggested to add a option to change the behavior so that undef values will clear the form elements. Patches welcome.
You can also use clear_absent_checkboxes
option to clear checkboxes, radio buttons and selects without corresponding keys in the data:
# this will set clear the form element foo (and all others except # bar) HTML::FillInForm->fill(\$html, { bar => 123 }, clear_absent_checkboxes => 1);
You probably need to read no further. The remaining docs concern the 1.x era syntax, which is still supported.
Call new()
to create a new FillInForm object:
$fif = HTML::FillInForm->new; $fif->fill(...);
In theory, there is a slight performance benefit to calling new()
before fill()
if you make multiple calls to fill()
before you destroy the object. Benchmark before optimizing.
Instead of having your HTML and data types auto-detected, you can declare them explicitly in your call to fill()
HTML source options:
arrayref => @html scalarref => $html file => \*HTML file => 't.html'
Fill Data options:
fobject => $data_obj # with param() method fdat => \%data
Additional methods are also available:
fill_file(\*HTML,...); fill_file('t.html',...); fill_arrayref(\@html,...); fill_scalarref(\$html,...);
It's possible to use an alternate parser to HTML::Parser if the alternate provides a sufficiently compatible interface. For example, when a Pure Perl implementation of HTML::Parser appears, it could be used for portability. The syntax is simply to provide a parser_class
to new();
HTML::FillInForm->new( parser_class => 'MyAlternate::Parser' );
To use HTML::FillInForm in Apache::PageKit is easy. It is automatically called for any page that includes a <form> tag. It can be turned on or off by using the fill_in_form
configuration option.
HTML::FillInForm is now integrated with Apache::ASP. To activate, use
PerlSetVar FormFill 1 $Response->{FormFill} = 1
Using HTML::FillInForm from HTML::Mason is covered in the FAQ on the masonhq.com website at http://www.masonhq.com/?FAQ:HTTPAndHTML#h-how_can_i_populate_form_values_automatically_
This documentation describes HTML::FillInForm module version 2.1
Note that you might want to think about caching issues if you have password fields on your page. There is a discussion of this issue at
In summary, some browsers will cache the output of CGI scripts, and you can control this by setting the Expires header. For example, use -expires
in CGI.pm or set browser_cache
to no in Config.xml file of Apache::PageKit.
Kato Atsushi has translated these docs into Japanese, available from
Please submit any bug reports to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Requires Perl 5.005 and HTML::Parser version 3.26.
I wrote this module because I wanted to be able to insert CGI data into HTML forms, but without combining the HTML and Perl code. CGI.pm and Embperl allow you so insert CGI data into forms, but require that you mix HTML with Perl.
There is a nice review of the module available here: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=274534

Not TrueScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Two geologists, Dr. Roeboensonsin and Dr. Thistle, were preparing a test sample for a student. The student, who was spending one college trimester doing field work, has been doing very questionable work. Both doctors wonder if he is a student or not.
The student came the next day to work through the sample. He got through every sample, finally coming to the last one. He looked down at it, and said, "These are two diamonds". Dr. Thistle and Dr. Roeboensonsin both knew that a student couldn't get that sample wrong and told him to go home, as he wasn't a student. Why was his answer wrong? What Next?

Microsoft CEO Ballmer blasts rivals Google Android, Apple
London, Nov. 16 : Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer has launched scathing attacks against Windows' phone competitors, Google's Android and Apple.
Ballmer blasted the Android ecosystem as `uncontrolled', while criticising Apple''s ecosystem as being `highly-priced and tightly controlled'.
"The ecosystem of the Android is a little bit wild, that is from an app compatibility perspective and our world perspective maybe in a way that''s not always in the consumer''s best interests," The Telegraph quoted Ballmer, as saying.
"Conversely the Apple ecosystem looks highly controlled, and, by the way, quite high priced," he added.
According to the paper, Ballmer launched the attack while being interviewed by LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman at an event with "tech influencers and innovators" at the Churchill Club in Santa Clara, California.
He went on to argue that Windows Phone had an opportunity to position itself in between the two, the paper said.
"The question is how do you get the quality with maybe not the premium price of the phone, with maybe not quite as controlled an ecosystem. And how do you allow for the lower pricepoints, more affordability, diversity that comes with Android," he said.
"And I think you can say that''s kind of the best of both worlds and that''s available to us," he added. (ANI)
