In just a few days, Peyton Manning and the Colts will make the long, dangerous journey to Gillette Stadium through the treacherous means of private air travel with gourmet meals and attractive flight attendants. We can only hope they manage to survive so that they can take on Tom Brady and the Patriots in a fierce battle of strength and resilience that promises to produce some of the most intense analysis ever produced by sports journalists since the last time these two teams met (2009).
In preparation for the epic battle, I am now going to offer my very own analysis. I will tell you, the reader, exactly what will have to happen for each team to win, and then I will engage in a knife fight with any analyst that disagrees with me. You have to assert your dominance in the analysis world, or you risk being told that you might be wrong.
Keys for the Colts:
– Peyton Manning must make at least seven audibles that result in thrilling and nail biting timeouts in which Jim Caldwell pretends the new play call was his idea all along.
– Randy Moss must make a surprise appearance for the Patriots and immediately launch into a tirade about "respect" and "honor" while wearing headphones that were clearly not designed to be worn by any human, distracting Belichick from continuing his "death stare of action."
– The camera must show Eli Manning looking tense and concerned at least once in every quarter, even if the Colts are winning by 40 and Eli is not, technically, there.
– Belichick will have to be further distracted beyond Randy Moss by fighting off a valiant offensive by the special teams in an effort to free their kidnapped family members from the Belichick Dungeon.
– Tom Brady must be deported to Algeria.
Keys for the Patriots:
– Wes Welker will have to remember not to try and smile again, and have his nuclear power plant circuitry closely monitored so he can remain at full power the entire game.
– Brett Favre will need to show up and pester Caldwell to let him pitch after the seventh inning stretch, because aging zombies tend to forget important things, such as where they are, whether they're wearing pants, and which woman is technically his wife.
– BenJarvus Green-Ellis will need to be forced, at threat of violence, to remove at least one capital letter or dash from his name, because it is difficult to spell and look at without inducing seizures in English professors everywhere.
– Gronkowski will need to come up with a more suitable and respectable nickname than "The Gronk," because it sounds like a horrible mixed drink that I once saw someone drink in college that induced violent and immediate "gronking."
– Tom Brady will need to not get deported to Algeria.
And those are the keys to the game! Be sure and watch for them during the all-important game this Sunday at 4:15 p.m. It is now time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the next couple hours of peace before every news agency and sporting group in the country remembers that no one cares about politics and starts spending every waking minute until end of business Wednesday talking about who the better quarterback is, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning.

Check out this newly painted Zoom Phloom boat. Nice, huh? This spectacular paint job is the work of Mark Matteucci, our resident airbrush artist. Truly an amazing job. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we couldn't get all 23 boats painted this winter, but there's always next year! You can see more of Mark's talent on the three refurbished Sky Ships as well.

On March 29, 2013, South Korea's antitrust watchdog, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office raided the office of POSCO ICT, a subsidiary of POSCO that manages the parent company's IT network, as part of an ongoing investigation of South Korea's biggest steelmakers. Approximately 10 investigators conducted the search and seizure, which included collection of e-mail archives, internal reports and transaction documents. A representative for the law enforcement agency indicated that the raid was conducted to secure certain data and that it currently had no plans to raid additional companies.
That said, this raid follows a probe initiated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of several steel producers for alleged price fixing of galvanized sheet iron, color steel sheets, and cold-rolled plates. Last year, the Fair Trade Commission alleged that the steel companies regularly had meetings to collude with each other on prices for these products. The FTC also alleged that Dongbu, the largest supplier, increased it prices first and the others followed and that this price increase indicated a pattern of price fixing. In December 2012, South Korea's Supreme Prosecutors' Office fined several of these steel producers, including Posco C&C, Hyundai Hysco, Dongbu, SeAH Steel and Union Steel, a combined fine of $291.7 billion. The FTC had investigated these entities since 2009 and has been investigating the steel industry since as early as 2005.
Just one month ago, Germany's Federal Cartel Office ("GFCO") raided the offices of three steelmakers, Voestalpine, ThyssenKrupp, and ArcelorMittal, as part of its antitrust investigation into illegal price agreements between steel suppliers in the automotive industry.
The announcement of these raids demonstrates the ongoing nature of these investigations and the ability law enforcement agencies around the world have to leverage and coordinate their antitrust investigation with other global agencies.

NBA Draft Thread #2
Posted: June 23, 2011 Filed under: 2011 NBA Draft | Tags: Charlotte Bobcats, Chris Singleton, David Kahn, Donatas Motiejunas, Duke, George Hill, Georgia Tech, Houston Rockets, Iman Shumpert, Indiana Pacers, Johnny Flynn, Jordan Hamilton, Lithuania, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Nolan Smith, Portland Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, Tobias Harris, Washington Wizards Leave a commentThis will cover picks 17 through 30. I have to leave after the Blazers pick. I will have a writeup out tomorrow analyzing the Knicks draft and the rest of the NBA draft.
Trade Rumor: The Rockets and Wolves have agreed to trade J Flynn and Montiejunas to Houston for Brad Miller, 23rd pick and future 1sst, source says
Update #5 – The Blazers selects Nolan Smith from Duke. Kind of surprising but he gives the Blazers another scorer off the bench.
Update #4 – The Timberwolves select Donatas Motiejunas from Lithuania – David Kahn is trying to load up on 5 PF's and 5 PG's to make his team up.
Update #3 – The Charlotte Bobcats select Tobias Harris for the Milwaukee Bucks. Pretty good pick though I had him going a little later. I would have taken Jordan Hamilton.
Update #2: The Washington Wizards select Chris Singleton with their second pick. They got much better in this draft.
Trade Rumor #2: The Pacers will also send the 42nd pick in this draft to the Spurs as part of the package to get George Hill, source says.
Update #1: Your New York Knicks select Iman Shumpert, the dual PG/SG from Georgia Tech. I love this pick as it will give us defense and versatility off the bench.
Trade Rumor: The Spurs will send George Hill to the Pacers as part of the package, source says.
2011 NBA Mock Draft
Posted: June 22, 2011 Filed under: 2011 NBA Draft | Tags: 2011 NBA Draft, Alex Burks, Brandon Knight, Charles Jenkins, Chris Singleton, DeAndre Liggins, Derrick Williams, Duke, Enes Kanter, Florida, Georgia, Jan Vesley, Jeremy Hazell, Jimmer Fredette, Josh Selby, Kansas, Kawhi Leonard, Kemba Walker, Kentucky, Kyrie Irving, Marcus Morris, Markeiff Morris, Marshon Brooks, Nikolas Vucevic, Purdue, Richmond, San Diego State, Seton Hall, Texas, Tobias Harris, Tristan Thompson, UCLA, USA Leave a commentWith the NBA Draft just one day away, I figured I would take a go at an NBA Mock Draft.
1. Cleveland Cavaliers: Kyrie Irving, PG, Duke: Kyrie Irving is the best prospect in this draft and has drawn comparisons to Chris Paul. While I don't think he will be that good, he will give the Cavs a face of their franchise and a future All Star.
2. Minnesota Timberwolves: Derrick Williams, SF/PF, Arizona: Derrick Williams is a versatile forward who could pair with Wesely Johnson, Kevin Love, and Michael Beasly to give them a very deep and young front-court.
3. Utah Jazz: Brandon Knight, PG, Kentucky: This is the popular pick right now and it makes sense. Knight is a phenomenal player with tons of potential and could replace Deron Williams.
4. Cleveland Cavaliers: Enes Kanter, PF/C, Kentucky: The Cavs are hoping that the Jazz pick Knight because that means that Kanter will be available here. He will give the Cavs a legitimate center to pair with J.J. Hickson.
5. Toronto Raptors: Jan Vesley, PF, Serbia: Vesley has an NBA body and his size would be a nice compliment to Bargaini in the front court. He could give the Raptors flexibility and skill in the front-court.
6. Washington Wizards: Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Diego State: Leonard is a versatile SF that can provide defense and energy as well as a good mid-range game.
7. Sacramento Kings: Kemba Walker, PG, Connecticut: Walker is the best leader in this draft and can pair with Tyreke Evans to give the Kings a talented back-court.
8. Detroit Pistons: Tristan Thompson, PF, Texas: Thompson is a tenacious rebounder that can pair with Greg Monroe in the Pistons front-court.
9. Charlotte Bobcats: Chris Singleton, SF, Florida State: Singleton is the best defensive wing in this draft and could replace Gerald Wallace at the SF spot.
10. Milwaukee Bucks: Alex Burks, SG, Colorado: Burks has a great offensive skill set that will pair nicely with Brandon Jennings.
11. Golden State Warriors: Klay Thompson, SG, Washington State: Thompson can shoot the ball from anywhere and has a great game going to the basket. Defense is not his strength, but who says the Warriors play defense.
12. Utah Jazz: Marcus Morris, SF/PF, Kansas: Morris is a good faceup PF that can also play some SF. He has good range and is a decent rebounder/defender.
13. Phoenix Suns: Jimmer Fredette, PG/SG, BYU: Fredette can provide a nice scoring threat off the bench and will sell a lot of tickets while also being groomed as the PG of the future.
14. Houston Rockets: Jonas Valanciunas, PF/C, Lithuania: With the reports that Jonas will be able to come to the NBA in 2012, his stock could go back up but I think he lands in a good situation. The Rockets need to move on from Yao and Jonas has a great skill set, similar to Yao's.
15. Indiana Pacers: Markeiff Morris, PF, Kansas: Morris is a versatile PF who can step out and knock down jumpers as well as play with his back to the basket. He rebounds well and can also block a shot or two.

Since there is not a lot going on in the NFL, I will have some posts about the NBA Draft on occasion.

Peabody the favorite in girls' soccer
There was no stopping Hayley Dowd and Peabody last season, and there's really no reason to think this season will be any different, as the Tanners return their MVP, as well as eight other starters.
Dowd, a future Boston College Eagle, had a hand in 60 of the Tanners' 84 goals last season (41 goals, 19 assists), and Peabody (21-0-2) claimed its first Division 1 state title with a 1-0 win over East Longmeadow.
The Tanners, who will have Northeastern Conference All-Stars Cayla Bucci, Victoria Digiacomo, and Bianca Muscato back, may have surprised some last season, but not this year.
Teams focused on dethroning the Tanners include Chelmsford, Andover, Acton-Boxboro, Lincoln-Sudbury, Winchester, Newton North, Oliver Ames, and Concord-Carlisle with senior All-American Andrea O'Brien.
Oliver Ames, which took the Tanners to overtime before falling, 2-1, in last year's Division 1 EMass final, will have some rebuilding to do. The Tigers graduated their starting keeper, a sweeper, two midfielders, and two strikers.
"Things are starting to come together," said coach Britt Sellmayer.
"Everything depends on if our role players from last year take more responsibility and if Kendall Andrew and Nicky Taylor provide the spark that Kristina [Simonson] and Emily [Grotz] did last year."
Lincoln-Sudbury has a strong core returning, including both starting center midfielders (Megan Addeo and Katie DaSilva) and All-Scholastic goalkeeper Katie Sia.
"We only lost three starters and have some great girls coming back," said Warriors coach Megan Matson. "We are hopeful that we'll be right there again this season."
Chelmsford surprised with its run to the Division 1 North final last season, and the Lions "should be even better this season," according to coach Anne Marinaro.
Senior captain Jill Emerson has taken over as the Lions' striker and she has looked more than capable to Marinaro.
"Jill's fast and has excellent one-on-one ballhandling skills," said Marinaro.

This article and the accompanying source code provides one method of extracting from a block of text a brief excerpt that contains the most relevant portion of text that a user is searching based on the search terms entered.
The source code is "plug and play", just include the class in your project. This article outlines how it works and the issues involved.
Note that this is not intended to be a search solution, it is used for post processing the search results. If you are rolling your own search engine for an application, you might be interested in my Unicode multilingual word breaking article.
In the course of building a search feature in a business application I am currently working on, it became necessary to show brief excerpts of the results that were found when the user performed a search. This is just like using a search engine on the internet which shows a brief excerpt of what can be found when clicking on the result.
This sounds easy on the surface but is actually fairly complex. It is difficult to pick out the most relevant portion of text of the user's search for display because the search terms may appear many times in the document but we only need a small portion to display.
This solution uses a sliding window technique. This may be a solution that is often referred to as "naive" in algorithm books and I am posting this here with the hope of fostering some discussion that may lead to improvements on the concept.
That being said, however it works and is fast enough for our purposes.
The technique I use incorporates a relevancy scoring system and a sliding window method for extraction. The goal is to be able to ultimately show a list of results ranked by potential relevancy with a brief excerpt that is no more than a selected number of characters in length and that shows the most relevant text for that result.
There are many different methods of scoring and ranking, each with pro's and con's related to the exact application, in our case the following method works well and should be applicable in many applications where nothing too serious is required.
The document text is scored by comparison with the search terms entered by the user. The scoring system I've settled on is a weighted system and relevancy is calculated within each result document itself, not against all the search result documents.
75% of the relevancy score is comprised of the ratio of total number of search terms the user has entered versus how many of them appear in the document in question. For example, if the user is searching for "apple pear peach" and the source document is examined and if every one of those terms appears then the base score so far is 75 out of 100 possible points. Note that each search term is only examined once to ensure it appears in the document, there is no bonus at this point if the same search term appears more than once, that is handled in the next step:
25% of the relevancy score is comprised of the ratio of search term text to non search term text in the document. In other words if the document contains 500 characters and 50 of those characters are from matching search terms then the formula is (50/500)*25=2.5, so in this case an additional 2.5 is added to the base score to come up with a total score.
This gives us a method of ranking documents against each other, however we still need to excerpt the best passage from the search result document to display to the user. Again, the same scoring system is used, however this time it's used to score a substring of the text within a sliding "window" over the search result document.
The "window" is a substring of the text that is not longer than the preset length, the default is 80 characters. To get the best excerpt, the window starts at the beginning of the search result document text, a score is calculated for the text within that window, the window is then slid over as many characters as the shortest word in the search terms provided and a score is again taken. If this score is greater than the previous score then this window of text is saved as the "best" window so far and the score is saved as the "best" score so far. This process continues until all the source document text has been "windowed" and scored. The end result is the best excerpt that fits within the preset length desired.
The code is provided in a class ExtractAndRank. This class contains several properties that affect how it operates:
public void Process (string rawText, string[]searchTerms)
// //Here is a typical example of usage: // ExtractAndRank er=new ExtractAndRank(); er.Process(this.edRawText.Text,new string[]{"almond","pear","apple"}); this.edExcerpt.Text="Excerpt: " +er.Extract;
Hopefully this will be of some use to others requiring something similar. Any suggestions are welcome.

I am sensing a high level of double standard here where freedom of expression is abused and misused according to the whims and desires of people. When the victim is Islam and Muslims, then, it has no limits. It is like an open buffet where it is all you can eat. But when it is about others, like Kate Middleton or abortion in Canada, then, you better watch your mouth.

More than 2m people have fled to other countries while 4.3m are displaced at home.
Syria's civil war has driven almost a third of the country's population from their homes, causing the humanitarian calamity of the century, says the United Nations.
The number of Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries has reached two million, while a further 4.3 million people have been displaced within the country's borders.
The fighting has been so intense that the number of refugees has increased almost tenfold in a single year, the UN says.
"Syria has become the great tragedy of this century - a disgraceful humanitarian calamity with suffering and displacement unparalleled in recent history," said Antonio Guterres, head of the UN High Commission for Refugees.
According to the UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency, there is no sign of the "tragic outflow" of refugees from Syria ending. Many crossed the border with little more than the clothes on their backs.
A year ago, the UN said, the number of Syrians registered as refugees stood at 230,000 - meaning the total has jumped by almost 1.8 million in 12 months.
About 5000 refugees now flee Syria every day. Of the two million to have fled so far, more than half are under 17.
The UN said more people were forcibly displaced in Syria than in any other country. Guterres said the only solace was the humanity shown by neighbouring countries, such as Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, in welcoming the refugees, despite the overwhelming burden.
Yesterday, Syrian refugees in Zaatari camp, Jordan, begged President Barack Obama to attack the Syrian regime.
One mother described a mood of despair after the House of Commons voted against Britain joining any military campaign last Friday.
"They gave us hope and then they took it away," she said. "None of the countries are intervening. Our homes were bombed and burned - every day it gets worse."
This vast camp holds about 120,000 people, making it the fourth-biggest city in Jordan.
A woman who gave her name as Khadija arrived on Monday with her seven children. Their home in the city of Hama was destroyed, forcing the family to flee to Jordan.
"The home next to us was hit by a rocket and a 3-year-old girl was killed," said Khadija. "That is when I thought I must get my family away. The children are scared but they are safe."
Asked what possessions she had managed to salvage, she pointed to her children and then her clothes.
Rasmeh and her husband, Ahmed, were queueing to be registered as new arrivals. They left Syria with their daughters, Worood and Asma, and son Waleed.
"We could not live there any more," said Rasmeh. "You are scared all the time. We used to have sheep and land. They took everything. I hope Assad stays in hell for ever."
The inflow is placing a huge strain on Jordan, which now hosts 515,000 registered Syrian refugees, representing 8 per cent of its population of 6.2 million.
Jordan is trying to limit the influx by closing its border but Syrians slip across by walking long distances.
Deeb, from Homs, arrived after walking for six days across the desert with his wife and three sons, aged 10, 8 and 6.
"We ran out of water in the desert. When we arrived in Jordan, they gave us food and water. We are so scared for our family back in Syria."
Lebanon hosts 716,000 registered refugees and perhaps 300,000 more undocumented arrivals.
Lebanon's population of only four million has grown by a quarter in two years. And the numbers keep rising: Lebanon has kept its border open, allowing some 8000 refugees to cross every day.
In Lebanon's capital, Beirut, Syrians have settled in already overcrowded Palestinian refugee camps. About 2000 families have moved to Shatila camp on the city's southern fringe.
Many live in ramshackle homes amid narrow alleys and open sewers. The Ali family fled Aleppo, where they lived in a modern two-storey villa.
The two eldest brothers, Riad and Ali, both studied law at university. Now the family inhabit a dank apartment.
Mustafa Ali, the father, earns $10 a day installing satellite dishes.
His son, Osama, 14, works in a bakery for $7 a week.
Syria: Key developments
President Bashar al-Assad said military strikes against his country would risk triggering a regional war. He said the Middle East was a "powder keg" and no one could say what would happen if the West took military action against Syria. He warned, "The whole world will lose control of the situation. Chaos and extremism will spread. The risk of a regional war exists."
United States
Senator John McCain told reporters that President Barack Obama must make a strong case for attacking Assad's Syria if he wanted to win congressional backing for the operation. He also said Obama's intervention now would be more difficult because Assad "is moving his forces around". McCain and Senator Lindsay Graham, who spoke after meeting Obama, questioned the wisdom of the Administration publicly signalling in advance its intention to strike.
A French intelligence report estimated that the Syrian regime launched the alleged August 21 attack involving a "massive use of chemical agents" and could carry out similar strikes in the future. The Government, on its website, published a nine-page intelligence synopsis about Syria's chemical weapons programme that found that at least 281 deaths could be attributed to the attack in rebel-held areas outside Damascus.
The Russian news agency Interfax said President Vladimir Putin hoped to send a delegation of legislators to the US to discuss the situation in Syria with members of Congress. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said evidence the US showed Moscow to blame the Syrian regime for the alleged chemical weapons attack was "absolutely unconvincing". He said "there was nothing specific" in the evidence.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's chief adviser brushed aside fears that a US strike against Syria could provoke Damascus to attack Turkey. Yalcin Akdogan told the Turkish daily newspaper Aksam that an attack on Turkey "would be madness and suicide" because Turkey was a member of Nato. The alliance is committed to defending member states.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said his country urged the US not to take unilateral action against Syria. He said Washington briefed Beijing about the matter and that China was concerned about chemical weapons use but that the country opposed the US acting alone. Hong did not address the possibility of the US acting together with France. Beijing would almost certainly oppose any strike.
United Nations
The UN says the chemical weapons inspection team that investigated the stricken areas last week finished preparing biological and soil samples, which were shipped from The Hague and would soon reach their designated laboratories. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon planned to brief the Security Council's 10 non-permanent members on the Syrian crisis today.

This article discusses the issues an owner, lender, completion contractor, and surety should consider when drafting a takeover agreement. Although each of these four main parties may share the basic goal of seeing the project completed in a timely and efficient manner, each has different interests to protect. As in any negotiation process, each party must be willing to give and take in the name of compromise. There are certain factors each party must consider and carefully weigh when negotiating the terms of a takeover agreement.
Every project is unique and presents its own challenges. Still, all takeover agreements should include specific language:
Each of these issues has varying importance to the different parties involved. Below is a brief summary and checklist of the issues most relevant to each of the parties to a takeover agreement.
Issues for the Owner to Consider
Generally, the owner's goal is to complete the project as quickly as possible so it can repay its debt to the lender and begin to realize income. In light of the owner's dissatisfaction with the original contractor's performance (or lack thereof), it is imperative that the owner consider the following factors when negotiating a takeover agreement:
Issues for the Lender to Consider
Ordinarily, the project under construction is the lender's security for the loan. Many things can prevent the lender from realizing enough funds from the security to cover the amounts advanced. Because of this, in addition to sharing the owner's interest in a completed project, the lender typically has two primary concerns in connection with a takeover agreement.
Issues for the Completion Contractor to Consider
The completion contractor should pay special attention to the following issues when it considers becoming a party to the takeover agreement:
Issues for the Surety to Consider
While negotiating a takeover agreement, the surety's goals should be to: mitigate loss, preserve salvage, identify and preserve the principal's and surety's claims against the obligee and any third parties, reach agreement as to the actual scope of the surety's obligations to the obligee, and define the contractual terms that will govern the work. Additionally, as the surety investigates and negotiates its takeover agreement, it should try to determine whether the owner has fully complied with all duties owed to the surety and the original contractor.
The following issues should be considered by the surety when negotiating a takeover agreement:
Takeover agreements can be equally important for projects with other public agencies, as they may be necessary to avoid the doctrine of sovereign immunity to any claims by the surety arising out of the project.

NEW YORK — Companies sometimes get too caught up in focusing on communicating with customers through new media when in fact the message itself and timing of the message are just as important, said Stuart Aitken, chief executive officer, Dunnhumby USA, in a presentation at the National Retail Federation's 101st Annual Convention and Expo here Monday.
"Delivering the right message at the right cadence is just as important as the medium that you use," he said.
He also noted that the explosion of social media use by consumers is creating a wealth of new data that can be tapped, and is leading to a need to focus on more than just those customers who are loyal, but also on those who are also advocates of the brand.
Dunnhumby USA, which is 50% owned by Cincinnati-based Kroger Co., has been working with Macy's for the last few years to make the kind of shift toward customer-centricity that the company helped Kroger achieve, Aitken and the other panelists said.

CLASSIC CANES: In the late 1970s, Ben and Diana Porter bought Warren House, a romantic but ruined property set deep in a neglected Somerset woodland. They gradually rebuilt the house and discovered that the woodland, which was predominantly populated by ash trees, was suitable for growing raw material for rustic walking sticks. Ben applied the traditional forestry technique of coppicing the trees, thus starting the production of walking sticks. In 1982, a small range of sticks was offered to local shopkeepers, who soon demanded a wider selection....

Filling your Big Day with personality and sentimentality is what it's all about – and for this darling Davie duo hosting their wedding in the paradise otherwise known as the bride's grandparents' backyard and tackling one DIY detail after another truly made it their own. Add to all of that lovely some perfectly imperfect florals from Field Of Flowers, a gallery of amazing images from FCN Photography and a dress that will take your breath away (literally) and you are about to fall head over heels in love. Immediately. See it all here.
From FCN Photography… My grandmother offered us her home and I couldn't have had a more beautiful wedding. There are even some photos we took while getting ready in my grandparents' bedroom where it looks like robes are in some of the photos. I can't help but feel it was my grandfather letting me know he was with me that day.
Having the wedding at my grandparents' house meant a TON of DIY. Everything, other than the food and some additional items, was handmade by my family and all the calligraphy was done by my husband. Even the beer opening station. We took some moonshine from good old NC and it was delicious! I wish we had more to take home.
I used and old locket with pictures of my three grandparents who had passed away as my something old. It was important to me to have something with me that represented my grandfather. I know that he was present that day and watching over his family having the time of their lives. I had a ring custom made for my right hand by Elizabeth Street Jewelry in NY for my something new. A favorite part of it was the jeweler added Finn's (my son) birthstone into the inside setting of the ring. It was my way of keeping him close to me all night. The teacups on my sign-in table that were in my parent's wedding and my grandfather's truck were my something borrowed. The truck is a 1929 Ford, and it's amazing. This truck was the inspiration for my wedding.
There was just something about my daddy walking me down the aisle that, whew, made me melt! Once I was outside I was also in awe, the house was AMAZING, my wildest dreams came true. You know that Pinterest quote that says "I hope my real wedding is as good as my Pinterest wedding"? Well, my real wedding crushed my Pinterest wedding!

Interview: Joe Bonamassa Discusses Gear and His Return to Blues-Rock on 'Driving Towards the Daylight'
After making more-wide-ranging solo discs and playing and touring with Black Country Communion, you've returned to blues-rock with Driving Towards the Daylight, but are you still consciously pushing your palette in a nastier direction?
When I joined Black Country Communion, it was my excuse to make records like I couldn't make under my own name. I'm actually much more of a rock player than many people think. That aspect of my playing has been creeping in, and it feels more comfortable now that Black Country Communion have been accepted. If you listen to my records—and I just had to go back through them to pick songs for a live acoustic DVD we're recording in Vienna in June—it's pretty clear that if you call them "blues," you're using the term liberally.
Kevin Shirley and I started working together in 2005. We set out to do something different and original with the blues as the basis. If we were interested in playing it safe, I'd still be playing to 300 people a night — on a good night.
You began your career as a youthful prodigy, opening for B.B. King at age 12. Did that set up certain expectations that you had to overcome?
I think the number of laps I've made around the sun has helped. The initial reaction I got was, "Okay, this kid thinks he can play." But I didn't think anything. I just liked to play and have fun. It was an excuse to get out of class early.
Now, 13 albums, three live DVDs and many, many world tours later, people seem to be just realizing I have gray hair. Some people still look at me as "the kid," but it's great to meet people who have followed my journey from when I was going to gigs with a Twin-Reverb and a Tele in my parents' Lincoln Continental.
How would you describe the arc of your development as a player? I'm especially curious to know when you felt you'd turned a corner and stepped into your own musical identity.
I still feel I'm struggling to step into my own shoes as a musician. Every day I work on refining my phrasing. Whenever I hear my playing, I can't detach from my influences: there's my Jeff Beck, there's the Clapton bit, the Eric Johnson bit, the Birelli Lagrene bit, the Billy Gibbons.
What do you focus on when you work on technique at home?
It's all about the internal bends. A guitar is so tactile, and when you're playing bends—and bending notes is a big part of my style—there are so many notes within the note you're bending from and the note you're bending up to. For me it's about filtering out the bad notes and finding these little quartertones, as you drop down the bends, to make a very crisp statement that people can feel.
I'm still a teenager in that I'm eager to learn, even moreso than I was in my twenties. At that point I thought, Well, I can play pretty fast and I can hold my own with some of these cats. But I've learned that there's never a limit to what you can learn on the guitar, or in life.
You often bring an armada of guitars onstage, including your signature Les Paul Studio goldtops. What are your favorite stage and studio instruments?
Besides the goldtops, Gibson also did some in sunburst for me, and they painted one black, so I've been playing those a lot. I also have three real '59 Les Paul Standards, and I've been playing two of them onstage. I like my show to be a spectacle for gear heads.
I play in front of three double-stacked heads on three custom-made Marshall cabinets. Over the course of a concert, you'll see a '61 dot neck ES-335, a '53 Tele, a Firebird I and two '59 Les Pauls come out. I know if I were in the audience it would be fun for me, because I'm a gear head like everybody else. I try to keep the guitars I play with Black Country Communion separate from the guitars I play with the solo band.
I've never been like a Stevie Ray Vaughan or a Rory Gallagher or Derek Trucks—the cat who has found a guitar so perfect for him that he and the guitar are practically synonymous. Part of it is that my attention and tastes wander.
I've always had a lot of guitars, even when I was dirt poor and living in New York on peanut butter and Ramen noodles. I would scrape together just enough money to pay the rent, and if I had an extra $500 in my pocket I'd get another guitar. Or I'd trade. I'm the son of a guitar dealer, so I learned how to horse trade.

In the UK
The UK is currently experiencing some absolutely lovely weather at the moment as we enjoy the tail end of a high pressure system moving its way across Central Europe and the Baltics which today brought us the hottest day of the year with the nearby village of Writtle in Essex seeing 28c, while in Ipswich it seemingly reached about 26 or 27c.
Sadly it seems to end next week with us being whacked by 3 Frontal Systems travelling along the jet stream.
Figure 1: Met Office Surface Pressure Chart as of 3/7/14 (Met Office, 2014)
As can be seen by this surface pressure chart (Met Office, 2014) - a series of messy fronts are about to pass over us which stretch between the UK and North America, which suggests we will continue the current pattern of unsettled weather mixed in with short, sharp hot spells after the past wet weekend of pretty much continuous rain.
In the Tropics
The N Atlantic is of course experiencing Arthur - which has to be one of the prettiest storms I have seen for a long while.
Figure 2: NRL Navy - Satellite Picture of Hurricane Arthur (NRL Navy, 2014)
The NHC has put this as a strong Category 1 hurricane with winds of 90mph and a pressure of 980mb, and I am going to be honest and say this has surprised me. I did not expect Arthur would have been strong enough to even reach Hurricane Status let alone be in with a chance of reaching Category 2 status.
Very Dry Air. Arthur has done exceptionally well at dealing with dry air, and although it has certainly been something that has inhibited the intensification process, I would have imagined that the dry air would have stopped Arthur from ever reaching mid to high Tropical Storm intensity. This may show how rusty I am!!
Elsewhere in the Tropics - the seemingly strong looking African Storm has completely fizzled, which hasn't surprised me - Cape Verde storms may struggle in a less than perfect environment - at least until late July
The only other area of interest I have is in the Gulf of Mexico, where it looks like some of the energy off Arthur may be about to break off and form a separate system. However, this may have been created through interaction with a Cold Front currently sitting over the Gulf Coast, and thus will probably lead to nothing.
Have a great July the 4th in America, while I enjoy the last few days of a rare UK wide heatwave.

Pubic hair04/21/2008 |
When you are in your 60`s and 70`s do you start loosing your pubic hair.
Many women notice a generalized loss of body hair as they get older. Some women lose the hair on their forearms and on their legs in addition to thinning of the pubic hair. Total body hair loss and noticeable patches of hair loss are different conditions and should be diagnosed by your primary physician or a dermatologist.

Immigration and gay rights battles waged in court
While our focus is generally on the Hispanic market, there are various segments that are represented by the "multicultural" label. This includes advertisers, publishers and agencies focused on Hispanic, Asian-American, African-American- and even LGBT.
In the news in the last week alone, there have been some important decisions made by the courts that affect these groups and those working with them.
- Arizona's SB 1070 had 7 key provisions blocked by a U.S. District judge.
- In California, Proposition 8, which was a voter-approved proposition that defined a marriage as between a man and a woman, was overturned by a U.S. District Court Judge.
- Mexico's Supreme Court ruled that every state must recognize gay marriages performed in Mexico City.
With an estimated 10.8 million illegal immigrants in this country, the immigration debate is sure to continue. However, one of the biggest debates will be how to apply laws to stem illegal immigration without negatively impacting the remainder of the almost 50 million Hispanics in this country. By the way, it should be noted that not all of the 10.8 million illegal residents in the U.S. are from Mexico or Latin America, as many may think.
The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law estimates that there are approximately 8.8 million gay, lesbian, and bisexual persons in the U.S. (based on the 2005/2006 American Community Survey, an extension of the U.S. Census). This is another segment of multicultural marketing that is growing, and considering that the Proposition 8 battle in California was the highest-funded campaign ever on any state ballot, with opponents and supporters raising over $80 million, same-sex marriage too will continue to be a hotly debated issue. Yet even a very Catholic country like Mexico has accepted that marriage is a right that is not exclusive to opposite-sex marriage.
While everyone has their own opinion on how they feel about the individual issues and rulings, aside from working with both the supporters and opponents of the various initiatives, most of the agencies and service providers to the advertising industry are not necessarily interested in the politics- just the key facts. There are significant numbers of immigrants (legal AND illegal), citizens of many different backgrounds, and a large LGBT community, which are all increasingly important. As marketers we care about how many there are and how we can reach them- otherwise the court battles are for the politicians.

Big Game Tag Numbers Set
Oregon's Fish and Wildlife Commission completed the final stage of the 2002 big game regulations process with their adoption of big game tag numbers on June 7.
The regulation process began in the spring of 2001, when staff biologists first presented the Commissioners with a conceptual look at their general 2002 season recommendations. In the fall of 2001, staff incorporated Commission guidance to select the season dates, locations and other specific information for the 2002 regulations. Today's commission action incorporated the most recent biological data to establish 2002 tag numbers, which were adopted as Oregon Administrative Rules. The process now begins to award controlled hunt tags to those who applied by May 15. Results will be available June 20.
Archery deer hunters got some good news with a change in bag limit in several units across central Oregon. Hunters in the Hood, Biggs, Fort Rock, Heppner, Maupin, Silver Lake units, and that part of the Columbia Basin unit open to archery hunting, as well as in the White River unit outside the National Forest, will be allowed to harvest any deer instead of the previous bag limit of one buck. This is the first year this bag limit applies to the Maupin unit. Commissioners voted also to recognize the Canyon Creek archery-only area with traditional archery limitation for the first week of the general season.
Black-tailed Deer
Western Oregon black-tailed deer provide the basis for liberal general deer hunting seasons. However, reduced harvest and hunter success rates in recent years seem to indicate that black-tailed deer populations may be dropping. Biologists believe that most black-tailed deer habitats are declining and that deer populations reflect the limits imposed by those habitats. A full report of analyses by the Black-tailed Deer Working Group will be presented to the Commission in July.
The decline has resulted in a 20 percent decline in western Oregon doe tags to 18,271 and a 27 percent decline in western Oregon youth tags to 718 for 2002.
Mule Deer
All rifle hunting for buck deer in eastern Oregon is conducted under a controlled hunt system, with tags issued on the basis of evaluations of herd trends, buck ratios and other considerations, such as weather, hunter crowding and hunter success. First implemented in 1991, the controlled hunt system for mule deer has helped improve buck ratios in most herds by restricting the number of hunters. Following the 2001 hunting season, buck ratios in 62 percent of the eastern Oregon units surveyed were at or above biological Management Objectives (MO).
Commissioners adopted staff recommendations for 72,176 controlled buck rifle tags in 2002, only 1 percent fewer than last year and including High Cascade, Controlled Bow and Controlled Muzzleloader hunts, the total of 73,495 buck tags will be available in 2002. Biologists expect mule deer populations to continue to increase, as Oregon?s last winter was mild and wet, contributing to a forage base that should remain good through summer, 2002. Eastern Oregon anterless tag numbers were set at 3,899, a 12 percent decrease from 2001 as most damage situations have been brought under control.
Elk hunting opportunities are conducted under a variety of season structures, with general seasons occurring in the Cascades, most of the Coast Range, some limited areas during the Rocky Mountain first season and some of eastern Oregon during the Rocky Mountain second season. The rest of the opportunities are provided through controlled hunt tags. Controlled hunting has been implemented:
- where overharvest has occurred under general season regulations in the past,
- where antler point regulations are in place and a higher standard of hunter compliance is required, and
- where limited hunter numbers will contribute to a high quality hunt.
Rocky Mountain Elk
Since 1996 the department has managed bull elk in northeast Oregon through a series of strategies designed to improve herd health by limiting the harvest of mature bulls. This has been accomplished by emphasizing tags for spike bulls and cows. The strategy has worked, as reflected in increased bull ratios in most of Northeast Oregon, but declines in calf recruitment and low populations in some units continue to be a concern for staff biologists.
Commissioners adopted staff recommendations for 31,518 bull and either-sex tags in eastern Oregon, a 1 percent reduction from 2001. Antlerless elk hunters will have a chance at 12,302 tags, a 2 percent decrease from 2001.
Roosevelt Elk
In 1999 staff concern over long term declines in bull ratios in much of western Oregon led the commission to reduce the general season bull hunting seasons to four and seven days in length. The department undertook an appraisal of age structure of bulls by collecting and analyzing teeth of harvested bulls. Analysis of 3 years of data indicates bull ratios are improving. Staff will continue monitoring this change for 2 more years. Commissioners approved the sale of 8,191 bull and either sex elk tags, a 1 percent increase from 2001. In western Oregon, 3,165 antlerless elk tags were approved for the 2003 season, an increase of 11 percent over 2001.
No changes were proposed for 2002. The 2003 Spring Bear seasons and tag numbers will be done in October.
No changes were proposed in June. Staff is evaluating the quota system and will provide a full report and options in October.
Following several years of good fawn recruitment, the pronghorn population appears to be increasing in south-central Oregon. A mild winter and good fawn recruitment prompted the Commission to approve a 6.7 percent increase to 2,600 pronghorn antelope tags for this fall. For 2003, the pronghorn season will have one new youth hunt and one new muzzleloader hunt.
Bighorn Sheep
Hunters will see an increase of 1 tag in the number of controlled hunt tags for California bighorn sheep and decrease 1 tag in Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep tags for 2002. ODFW will sell 51 California bighorn tags and 9 Rocky Mountain tags in 35 hunts. Bighorn sheep populations are improving after disease setbacks and an active transplant program in recent years.
For 2003, two new Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep hunts with one tag each will be added, 11 new hunts for California bighorn sheep will be added.
The Commission also approved continuing a program to auction one bighorn sheep tag and raffle one tag. Since its inception, the raffle and auction program has raised over $1.4 million to fund management of Oregon?s bighorn populations.
Mountain Goat
As with last year, hunters are authorized to harvest 4 Rocky Mountain goats in 2002. No changes were proposed to the hunts for 2003.
This year, 5,078 applications were received for the 4 tags, making these tags the hardest to draw in the state. Other Adopted Proposals for 2001:
2003 General Seasons: The 2003 seasons generally resemble the 2002 seasons except many are shifting 1 week later because deer seasons shift to the closest Saturday to October 1, as per Mule Deer plan. The deadline for tag purchase of tags is the day before the hunt begins.

WHIPS (Windows Host Intrusion Prevention System) is a Host Intrusion Prevention System for Windows NT/XP/2003. WHIPS uses the system call interposition technics and it is developed as a kernel module.
User Ratings
User Reviews
Specialist HIPS programs are no longer being developed because HIPS is now incorporated into firewalls and security suites. This may the reason this project was abandoned in 2008, and has not been updated for Windows 7 and 8. The project website does not inform you that .NET Framework 4 is a prerequisite. There is no installer, so you have to copy the XPPack to your Programs folder, then copy SCIndexes.sci to the System32 folder, and run Install.bat. This installs the WHIPS service that should start automatically at boot-up, but does so after a considerable delay. Executing WHIPSAgent.exe opens a control panel that sits in the system tray. This contains three tabs - ACD; Monitor Log and Status. There is no documentation for users apart from the introduction at the project website, but ACD appears to refer to the Access Control Database that contains all rules defining system behavior. When I press the Refresh ACD button no entries are displayed the ACD panel. In the ACD tab are buttons to insert and delete filters that define which processes can make system calls. The approach here is to limit system calls to legitimate processes and block calls from unrecognized processes. There are also buttons for enable protection, disable protection and log only. It is not clear if the user has to manually enable protection every time the system boots up. The monitor log tab just shows a message saying 'log file not found'. The status tab is empty. This looks like an original approach to HIPS, but I think the average user would be better off using Malware Defender, because it requires an advanced knowledge of the operating system.

iPod offers new way to catch the sports action
Technology is reshaping the way we consume our sports.
The latest innovation, the video iPod, already has redefined the term "instant classic."
A condensed version of the Rose Bowl between USC and Texas was the No.1 video download at the iTunes Music Store for the week after the Jan.4 game. As of Wednesday, it still ranked No.5.
ABC Sports and ESPN became the first networks to offer sports programming to the iTunes Music Store through an agreement between the Walt Disney Co. and Apple. With about 100,000 people downloading the BCS bowl games, you get the feeling they won't be the last.
"The success of the bowl games on the iPod is a bit of a shock for a lot of people," said Tanya Van Court, vice president and general manager, ESPN broadband and interactive television.
"You can say it was because they were great games. But at the same time it's about fans wanting to hold onto a piece of history - to have it at their disposal and have it anytime they want it."
Van Court's department - which didn't even exist two years ago - develops products for new-media platforms. ESPN content is available everywhere from TV to the Internet to mobile phones.
Van Court credited colleague Don Colantonio for coming up with the idea of abridged bowl games, featuring all the key plays, for the iPod. The 15- to 25-minute replays would be available within 24 hours, for $1.99. They were an immediate hit.
"That's the great thing about ESPN - you're brainstorming with a bunch of sports fans," Van Court said. "We knew internally it was something people would be excited about."
ESPN plays to make additional content available at iTunes, including condensed replays of the upcoming Winter X Games.
With portable media players becoming increasingly popular, it is only the tip of the iceberg.
Archie Manning didn't care for Fox analyst Terry Bradshaw's criticism of Manning's son, Peyton, after the AFC divisional playoff game Sunday.
Bradshaw ripped the Indianapolis quarterback for citing his team's "protection problems," which Bradshaw interpreted as finger-pointing. Archie Manning termed Bradshaw's comments "a cheap shot" in a Newsday article. Bradshaw responded during a conference call Wednesday.
"One of the things about television that I learned a long time ago is, you're paid for your opinions. They may be wrong, they may be right, but they're your opinions," Bradshaw said.
"You have to be honest. You're going to step on toes if you're doing your job. I don't relish getting to hammer somebody. Archie is defending his son, and I understand that.
"My immediate reaction was this: He (Peyton) is pointing fingers. And I said it. And I'm not the only one who said it. I said it, and I stand by it."
The NFC divisional playoff game Sunday between Chicago and Carolina earned a 19.7 national rating and 35 share for Fox - its highest-rated program since last year's Super Bowl. The ratings for the Saturday game, between Washington and Seattle, were up 13 percent over last year's St. Louis-Atlanta game, which was in prime time.
The NFC Championship Game lacks big-market teams such as the Bears and Redskins, but Fox Sports president Ed Goren isn't worried.
"They may be a little lower," he said of the ratings. "(But) when the rating is bad, it's good - that's how strong the NFL is."
Not every ESPN idea works. "ESPN Hollywood" - a sports version of "Entertainment Tonight" - will cease production next Thursday. "ESPN Hollywood" debuted on ESPN2 on Aug.15, 2005. ...
"Trojans/Bruins Basketball Fast Forward," Fox Sports Net 2's weekly show previewing USC and UCLA basketball games, debuts at 11:30p.m. next Wednesday. Jim Watson and Don MacLean are co-hosts.

Science has yet to resolve the mystery of a living being's self-assembly into intricate patterns of form and function. When looking for explanations, the current focus is almost entirely on genes and chemicals, without the involvement of an organizing energy. However, three-dimensional cell and tissue patterns in developing flower buds indicate a developing plant organ can act as a resonator, self-creating a spatially patterned force field called a resonant mode.
Imagine an aeroplane flies low over a big city like New York, scattering twenty dollar bills down over the urban centre. These bills are laced with a unique poison that's invisible, scentless, and so toxic that merely picking up a bill and putting it into your pocket is enough to initiate a horrific three-day process leading to your inevitable death as there's no antidote. The government is behind this procedure as it believes that a specific human enemy has infiltrated the urban community. Moreover, it claims that only the human enemy will pick up the poison-laced money. All other citizens will simply leave it alone. Sounds absolutely ridiculous, right? Of course. All types of people are bound to pick up twenty dollar bills that float down from the sky. Yet this ridiculous scenario directly parallels the use of aerial-dropped poison in New Zealand's forest ecosystems and the government's claims to its selectivity and safety.
Before getting into the drier details, I urge you to take a moment to consider a short photoessay created by New Zealand's Graf Brothers, which says what thousands of words cannot express:

330i AA c30,c38 mpg
Needing to upgrade to a 4dr, looking for a 330i to S/c. I was wondering what kind of highway mpg AA owners are getting completely off boost. I've been getting 27 mpg in my s/c'd e36. Thanks.
I dont know about just highway but combined I am getting around 33mpg
I call BS:rofl: are you kidding me 33mpg!!! If so call BMW and sell them your engine for millions lol. |
I´m getting like 19 mpg from my ASA supercharged 330ci.... :(
You can get mid-high 20s on the highway, especially if you have your stock diff. The upgrade (or downgrade if you wish) to my 3.46 rear end killed my mpg on the highway...
I'm too lazy to convert it, but i can get 450 kms with full tank.
I just did a full tank with no boost and I was at 36 mpg on the highway... granted I was going the speed limit and being slow on and off the gas; ***** driving. Before the SC I could only get about 29-30 doing that. Sounds like a big fat 'ol lie.. I know.
Edit: Also, this isn't AA. Just some general SC info for ya! |
Thanks for the responses , lol, if I use the obc i'm getting 42mpg-it can't adjust for the 30lbs inj vs 17lbs inj stock, measured from the tank and odom. its 27-28
24.5 average, mostly traffic..heavy traffic
