Postgame notes: "I don't know that it's been right since he's been here"
Long before tonight, the Yankees were well aware that Mark Teixeira's right wrist was not 100 percent. Tonight's game was not necessarily a physical breaking point, more of a personal breaking point. Teixeira finally acknowledged that he was not able to hit well enough to help the team.
"I don't know that it's been right since he's been here, honestly," hitting coach Kevin Long. "A big part of his routine is doing tee work, and he hasn't been able to do that. It definitely affects him from the left side, not the right side. The right side is fine, but the left-handed part where you kind of go like that (bending at the wrist) in the last minute, he's not able to execute.
"At this point, he's going to play and do what he thinks he's capable of doing to help the team. When he feels like that part of it doesn't get him far enough and doesn't get him to where he's able to help the team, he's going to say something. He did today. … He had a couple pitches where he was like, 'I should crush those balls, but I'm not able to take my A-swing.' He said at that point he should probably come out of the game and reevaluate what's happening."
It was just a few days ago that Teixeira said he felt good and thought his at-bats were getting better, but his switch-hitting numbers told a worrisome story: Teixeira was hitting .278 from the right side – the swing that primarily uses his uninjured left wrist – but only .086 as a left-handed hitter. Long acknowledged that, from the left side, Teixeira has been a "shell of who he is."
"It's the first time he's came to us really and said (anything)," Joe Girardi said. "I think he just doesn't feel that he has the whip that he normal has hitting left handed."
It struck me — and everyone, I think — as fairly surprising that Teixeira has been playing this long without being able to go through his normal pregame tee work. Long said Teixeira tried to do left-handed tee work a few times, "but that's when he feels it the most."
"These guys are used to their routines, and he's been doing the same thing for years," Long said. "When he's not able to execute that and swing the bat the way he's capable of, it's going to affect him. It's going to affect him mentally, it's going to affect him physically. … Tex is tough. He'll play through a lot. At this point, it's better that he gets it checked out and kind of see if there's a better solution. I don't know, maybe there's not. Maybe this is where he's at with it. That's up to the doctors' evaluations, so we'll see what they say and move forward from there."
The line of the night might have come from Lyle Overbay, and he was technically misspeaking when he said it.
"I hope it's not as bad as it is," Overbay said.
• The Yankees struck out 14 times. That's the second-most strikeouts for the Angels in a nine-inning game against the Yankees (15 on May 23, 1995). Angels starter Tommy Hanson had eight strikeouts, a season high. He's the third pitcher in the last 20 years to get a win in each of his first three career games against the Yankees (Max Scherzer, Ervin Santana).
• This is the Yankees second five-game losing streak in three weeks. It's only the second time since 2000 that they've had two five-game losing streaks in the same season. It also happened in 2007.
• Tonight's low point probably came in the seventh when Ichiro Suzuki and stole second and third. With a runner at third, no outs and trailing by only one run, the Yankees failed to score. The bottom of the order struck out in order.
• Girardi said he didn't consider squeezing with Reid Brignac in that situation. "We've had one bunt with him and…" Girardi didn't finish that thought. Didn't really have to.
• The Yankees had five hits, and it's little surprise that they came from Ichiro (2), Brett Gardner, Chris Stewart and Jayson Nix. In fact, Long took great exception when someone began a question with the premise that the "whole lineup" is struggling. "Stop with the whole lineup," Long said. "Brett Gardner? No. Ichiro? No. When you say the whole lineup, that's not fair. That's not fair to the Gardners; it's not fair to the Ichiros; it's not fair to the Stewarts. It's not fair to guys that are going out there and competing on a daily basis. When you say stuff like that, that's not right. When you say, 'OK, there are some guys in the middle of the order that have struggled,' sure, I would say you're right. We need those guys to get better. We need them to do better and we're going to do better."
• Once again, a Yankees pitcher blamed himself for a loss. "It's one of the worst jobs that I've done all year at managing a baseball game," David Phelps said. "You look back at the seven innings I pitched and I had five leadoff hits or walks. I just didn't pitch well today. I was fortunate they made some plays behind me, got some big double plays. They gave me a lead and I gave it right back. I had a chance to go out and pitch the seventh, two pitches and I give up a hit. That's just not going to get the job done."
• Nine hits were a career-high for Phelps. He held the Angels to only three hits in 25 at-bats last season. … Mike Trout became the first player to steal a base off Phelps this season (opponents were 0-for-3).
• Phelps explaining the play when he looked to third before throwing to second on a comebacker. The Yankees ultimately weren't able to turn two and the lead runner eventually scored. "Ball back to you on the mound, runners at first and second, you go to second 100 percent of the time," Phelps said. "We never work on going to third. I don't know why I looked at third. That's the play we're trying to make is to second base to get the double play."
• Girardi stopped well short of blaming the pitching for this one. "I thought (Phelps) was pretty good," he said. "They scored some single runs on him. He didn't give up the big inning. Pitched out of some jams. But we're not scoring a lot of runs right now, so it's tough."
What did third-base umpire Manny Gonzalez say about Ichiro being called out on a stolen base attempt in the fourth? "He said he got the tag down quick enough," Girardi said. Was Gonzalez yelling at Girardi as he walked off the field? "Maybe," Girardi said. "I yelled at him. All's fair."
• Final word goes to Girardi, who acknowledged he had been worried about Teixeira ever since he came off the DL. Was Girardi holding his breath with every swing? "No. I don't know if I'm doing that," he said. "But I just know what (Jose) Bautista went through where he was able to rehab and get back. Then he took that one swing and he went back to, really, square one in a sense. I don't think Tex is there. I don't think he (went) back to when he hurt it in March, but he'll see Dr. Ahmad and evaluate it."

LIFT-UP of Routt County has received a $285,000 grant to help build a 8,100-square-foot building for its Steamboat offices.
The building would result in a permanently owned, central location for the offices. Now, LIFT-UP has three rented locations across the city.
"It's going to be way less confusing for everybody to know one place to go," said David Freseman, executive director for LIFT-UP.
The Routt County Board of Commissioners sponsored the organization in the grant application.
"It's good that we're able to bring some outside dollars ... to help provide for community needs like this," Routt County Commissioner Doug Monger said.
Before the grant from the Department of Local Affairs is awarded, there are several requirements LIFT-UP must meet, Freseman said. Those include submitting environmental assessments, publishing legal notices, making a grant contract with DOLA and more.
"There's a lot to accomplish in the next four to six weeks to get this money in hand," he said.
The cost of the project is about $900,000. The grant would pay for the cost of the 1-acre lot on Curve Court that LIFT-UP plans to purchase.
LIFT-UP hopes to make up the remaining funds through a capital fund drive. Already, it has raised $150,000 by asking members of its board of directors, staff and volunteers, as well as a few other residents, to make donations.
It is seeking another $350,000 in donations and in-kind work on the construction of the building, Freseman said.
In the next few months, LIFT-UP will make an appeal to its supporting churches and to the general community.
Remaining costs can be achieved through applying for grants this summer and fall, Freseman said.
If all goes according to schedule, construction would begin in July and the building would be finished by the end of 2005.
The building will provide enough space for the organization's Steamboat food bank, food bank office and storage, donation center, thrift store, administrative offices and more.
The organization's satellite offices in Hayden and Oak Creek also will stay open.
Such a building has been a long-range goal for the organization for a couple of years.
Anyone interested in making a donation can call LIFT-UP at 870-0727 or mail a donation to LIFT-UP, P.O. Box 881145, Steamboat Springs, CO 80488.

In a new twist to an extortion case, property dealer Gurjeet Singh Oberoi denied having employed Vinod Kumar who was arrested on the charges of making extortion calls to him to recover old dues.
Oberoi's claims are in contrast to what Kumar and his cousin Rahul, both residents of Tarn Taran and arrested on charges of making extortion calls to Oberoi demanding Rs 1 crore in the name of terrorist outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), had told the police during interrogation.
Sources in the police said Oberoi had denied having engaged Kumar or Rahul, adding that Oberoi had said he had an employee with whom he had once or twice seen the suspects, but none of them were ever employed. Oberoi also denied the claims of the suspects that he had to pay them any dues.
The police claimed that they were tracking the employee named by Oberoi who was sacked last year and would soon be questioning him.
Meanwhile, Kumar, who allegedly planned and executed the plot of calling up Oberoi, was produced in the court and was sent to judicial custody on Saturday.
Kumar had claimed that Oberoi employed him around 18 months ago and Oberoi had failed to pay him his dues after which he had planned to threaten Oberoi, forcing him to pay the money.
Pistol recovered
Police have recovered a country-made pistol from Vinod Kumar's house in Tarn Taran. Kumar, 28, is the prime suspect in the case and had allegedly made ransom calls and shot at Gurjeet Singh Oberoi's car to make him believe that the calls he made were from Babbar Khalsa International. He had procured the pistol allegedly for the purpose.

Look, cooking is sexual. Hollywood doesn't make movies ranging from "9 ½ Weeks" to "Eat, Pray, Love" because it's purely for sustenance. (Well, also because those films made a select few people lots of money.) So it shouldn't be shocking to see celebrity chef/Food Network host Paula Deen, who was just named TV's Hottest Female Chef by "Maxim" magazine, losing her composure under the "Today" show's hot kitchen lights.
Like so many "Today" guests, Deen soldiered up for double-duty in featured segments during the 9 and 10 a.m. hours. First, she instructed Matt Lauer on how to whip some classic Southern fried chicken and mashed potatoes, but soon digressed into double entendres about keeping his potatoes hot and the tangy bite one gets from just the right amount of buttermilk. When Lauer declared his preference for poultry thighs, Deen purred, "I do too."
Watch Her Encounter With Lauer Here
Before long, the married mother of two was outright smothering her poor "Today" host while he tried to tamp down on some spuds, cooing and massaging his shoulders, playing up her new persona as the vixen of mixin'. Although the biggest ick-factor belonged to Lauer himself, who pointed to the completed plate of mashed and asked, "You drizzled a little extra butter on those, didn't you? Just for me." Ewwww.
But Deen wasn't finished. Much as it takes a special presence to out-quirk Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, Paula was up for the task when she rounded out the final hour of "Today" just prior to 11 a.m. This time, when Kathie referenced Deen's "Maxim" superlative, the hefty chef simply shot the camera a confident glare and gestured flirtatiously to her breasts. And not the slabs of chicken awaiting preparation. Ewwww.
We're not sure what's gotten into Deen, but one can only hope that Hugh Hefner wasn't watching NBC this morning and getting any bright ideas.

Wearable devices may be the next big thing in consumer electronics. But it's still not clear how they'll work, what they'll look like or even what they'll do.
One potential "killer app" for the devices is monitoring health and fitness. Accordingly, a growing number of companies have developed wearable "activity trackers" that can track things such as steps taken and distance walked.
Among the early activity trackers is Pulse O2 from France-based Withings. Released this spring, Pulse O2 is something like a souped-up pedometer. About the size of a USB drive, it can measure steps and monitor pulse rate with a sensor in its back.
The device is a follow-up on the Pulse, which Withings released last year. Unlike that device, which you could attach to your belt, the Pulse O2 comes with a wristband that allows users to wear it as a watch. And it ships with the ability to read users' blood oxygen level with the same sensor used to read their pulse.
Although strapping it to your wrist gives the Pulse O2 the look and feel of a smartwatch, it's clearly a fitness-specific device. You can use it to check the time or see how far you've walked, but it can't run apps, so you can't use it to read a text message or fast forward to the next song on your playlist.
That said, the device offers fitness fanatics a nice range of information. It displays how many steps you've taken, how far you've gone, how many calories you've burned and total changes in elevation. By swiping across the screen, you can view each one of those data points from your previous days' activities. You can see even more detailed information in the Pulse O2's accompanying smartphone apps.
The Pulse O2 will also keep track of your sleep cycles, if you wear the device and manually start the sleep tracking mode each night.
One of the advantages of the Pulse O2 over similar fitness devices is that it is designed to be flexible in how it's worn. It's a small rounded rectangular piece that can be fitted not only into a wristband, but also affixed to your belt or clothes with an included case that has a clip on the back. You can also easily slip the device, without case, into your pocket. It's so light weight — less than a third of an ounce — that you won't even notice it.
Unlike some other wearable devices I've tested, the Pulse O2 offers extra-long battery life. Even though it was only partially charged when I first started wearing it, I used it for four days without needing to recharge it. Withings says it will go two weeks on a full charge, and that you only need to plug it in for an hour to replenish its battery.
Although it works in conjunction with a smartphone, you don't need to bring your smartphone with you if you are using the Pulse O2. Instead, it will sync whatever data it's collected the next time it's connected with your phone via Bluetooth.
Unfortunately, the Pulse O2, like many of the early wearable products, has plenty of drawbacks. One way it extends its battery life is that its screen only turns on when you press its wake button. That's OK if the device is in your pocket or clipped to your belt. It's not so great if you are wearing it like a watch. I'd like to know what time it is — or how far I've walked — by just glancing at my wrist, not by having to go the extra step to push a button, too.
Another way it conserves energy is by having a dim, low-resolution, monochrome screen that's impossible to read in bright outdoor light.
The device's design can also make it awkward to use. If you want to check your pulse, you have to first remove the device from your wristband or belt clip, because both cases cover up the sensor. That can be easier said than done in the middle of a workout.
What's more, its interface is poorly adapted for wearing the device on your wrist. The wristband orient's the device in portrait mode. But by default, all of the data screens are displayed in landscape mode and the only one you can view in portrait mode is the clock screen. To read the other screens, you have to hold your wrist at something approaching a 90-degree angle to the ground.
I also had questions about the quality of the Pulse O2. After only a few days use, the touch screen on my review unit started to flake out. It wouldn't turn on the sleep mode when I tapped the on-screen button for it and would no longer display my past days' activities when I swiped across the screen.
Making a device that's targeted at fitness buffs is probably a smart way to break into the wearable market. But if the Pulse O2 is any indication, such devices still need a lot of refining before they're ready to gain mass appeal.

I'm a big fan of online encyclopedias: they offer the information of tangible reference books without the risk of paper cuts (those things will sting). In fact, I am such a fan of online encyclopedias that I visit them on an almost daily basis. If I don't know the meaning of a term or I want to know when the new Milli Vanilli movie is coming out, I simply turn to my friends at wikipedia or Britannica.com. I don't want to get too mushy but, truth be told, they complete me.
However, a visit to one of these online encyclopedias the other day left me shocked by something I saw: Sanjaya has his own entry. Now, I want my own one too.
Even for those people who don't watch American Idol, it's nearly impossible to not know who Sanjaya is: he's all over the news. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if President Bush – in lieu of devising a timetable to pull US troops out of Iraq – just devises a timetable to pull Sanjaya off of American Idol. We, as a culture, seem to be a little Sanjaya obsessed.
For anyone who doesn't surf the Internet, listen to the radio, or watch television – in other words, for the Amish – Sanjaya is an American Idol contestant who America, and particularly the judges, don't really seem to be idolizing. The tune that many people are singing is that he just isn't very good.
Still… He's Not That Bad
People can say Sanjaya can't sing; they can say he doesn't deserve to be on the show; they can even say that he – gasp! – is having a bad hair day. But, I don't get it. I really don't. First of all, nobody seems more anti-Sanjaya than Simon, Randy, and Paula. But, aren't they the ones who put him through to the top 24 to begin with? If he's so very bad, then why did they – with no say on the voter's part – even give him the chance to win. He can't be that bad or he would have never even made it to Hollywood.
In another thought, I don't really see what makes Sanjaya so much worse than past contestants. He is certainly not the first person on American Idol to overstay his welcome. If we travel back in time to last season, we remember that Chris Daughtry was a better singer than Taylor Hicks or Katharine McPhee and if we keep going back to season one, we're reminded that many people believed Tamyra Gray should have finished ahead of both Nikki McKibbin and Justin Guarini. There, there, Mr. Guarini, you still have From Justin to Kelly under your belt. No one can ever take that away from you.
American Idol, way before Sanjaya took center stage, has always been about who can get the most votes; singing talent takes second chair.
The Howard (not K.) Stern Influence
The fact that Sanjaya was picked by the judges to compete and the fact his singing is not so horrible that it can be compared to a cat tied to the hood of a car leads me to wonder if Howard Stern is fueling the Sanjaya controversy. Howard Stern fuel a controversy? I know… C-R-A-Z-Y!
Stern is at the helm of an American Idol ship. He launched a campaign via his radio show imploring American Idol viewers to vote for Sanjaya. His reason behind this plea is simple: priding himself as a bit of a pot stirrer. Stern is urging people to vote for Sanjaya for seemingly no other reason than he's the least talented contestant. Even if Howard Stern starts paying people to vote for Sanjaya, it doesn't really matter: a vote's a vote.
Love him, hate him, or go on a hunger strike until he gets kicked off, Sanjaya is a pure example of what celebrity in this day and age is all about: it doesn't come down to who has talent (right, Paris Hilton), it merely comes down to who gets the most press and publicity. Celebrity is a game and Sanjaya – with his signature locks and bashful smile – is about to check mate everyone else.

A wee interview in which I stupidly claim to have been crocheting for only one year. I dunno why I wrote "last year" since I learned to crochet in 2007. Am I stuck in 2008? Obviously. In the same interview, I also wrote "Writer's and Company"-- so, 2 for 2. Doi! But Sara Titanic did a great job on the article-- Thanks Sara!

- Shrek Soundtrack Duloc Is...
- Anime:
Most of you have probably seen Shrek. And if you have, you have to remember the "Duloc Is....." song. Now don't kill me, but I decided I wanted to make an AMV to this song. It's roughly 40 seconds long. I looked through my small anime collection and choose Ranma 1/2 as my victim.
This was my first try at major lip synch. It makes up for a third of the vid.
I am aware the sound quality isn't perfect. I tried to copy the music from my Shrek DVD but unfortunately my S video cable would only capture video, but not audio. So I had to be a bad girl and download the song. But I don't see it as being that bad cause I own the DVD. I just can't make my own audio file from it. I think the one I downloaded was recorded using someone's microphone cause I'm pretty sure it's not on the Shrek soundtrack. Hence the slightly less than desirable quality. It's not that bad though. Honest.
This vid has 2 copies up for download. The Local copy is in DivX. You will need the latest DivX codec to run it. If you don't have it you can get it here http://www.divx.com The [b]direct[/b] copy is an MPEG1 so it'll work with most video players.
I call this vid Cavity relief cause this song is cavity causing sweet. Why is it relief then? Because all the clips I used are opposite of the lyrics. I think the resulting effect is good for a quick laugh.
Hope you like it.
Ja ne ^_^

Asus was one of the launch partners for the nifty graphics switching tech, Nvidia Optimus, so it's no surprise to see it appear on another of its laptops: the 13-inch U35Jc. Unlike previous appearances, however, such as on the budget K52Jc or the multimedia-centric N53Jn, the U35Jn's portability makes the technology potentially invaluable.
With the U35Jn Asus is competing with the likes of the HP Pavilion dm4 and Samsung Q330, and just like them it retails in and around the £650 region. It's subtly different to either, however, as it jettisons an integrated optical drive in favour of the dedicated GPU. Which is more important is up to the individual, but at least Asus offers something a little different.
At 1.9kg the Asus weighs around the same as its competitors, and is 'portable' as opposed to 'ultra-portable'. Visually it borders on stylish, but is let down by somewhat slapdash look and feel. Its black, brushed metal lid is very nice, as is the brown, smooth plastic finish around the touchpad and palm rest. We found the black plastic bezel discordant, however, and the general build quality is merely so so. Panels flex noticeably under pressure, and the general fit and finish isn't on a par with the HP or Samsung.
No complaints can be made of the specification, though. Running matters is a 2.4GHz, Intel Core i3 processor, ably supported by a 3MB Cache, 4GB of RAM and both Intel HD Graphics and a 1GB Nvidia GeForce 310M where required. 802.11n Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth 2.1 are all included, too, giving the U35Jn a comprehensive spec.
You get a fairly standard range of connections, including three USB ports, HDMI and VGA. There are a couple of audio jacks and a memory card reader as well, but eSATA is conspicuous by its absence. Also, unlike competing machines, none of the USB ports feature standby power charging - a useful feature for charging phones and other accessories.

Windows XP Home Networking Guide
Physical Network Setup
For the purpose of simplicity, let's consider we are using a three PC network configuration - Two "clients computers" and one PC acting as the "server".
- Network Card Selection
Since we have more than two computers we can't use what is known as crossover cable (this cable is red in color usually), this eliminates the need of a hub or switch by using a direct connect approach from PC to PC. Since we are setting up a network with three PC's on it, you'll need to buy a hub or switch and obviously a PCI Network Interface Card for each system, that is if your motherboard doesn't already have an onboard LAN feature. Depending on what you require, a standard Realtek 10/100 base NIC should suffice for most, the best thing is they only cost around $30 Australian dollars (American dollars is half). Or, you have the option of an Intel based NIC or those from 3COM for example which have many added features and a lower fail rate, but this comes at a cost. You may have to pay up to four times as much for one of these as compared to the Realtek based NIC's. Below is a picture taken from the NETGEAR website of a typical NIC...
When buying a NIC, remember to ask specifically for a 10/100 base NIC. This means it can operate at both 10mbps and 100mbps depending on the particular network environment. Additionally, remember to ask for a NIC with RJ-45 connectors (the current standard), which use CAT5 cabling (this cable is blue in color usually) which is fully capable of 100mbps and fully backwards compatible at 10mbps speeds. A new standard is currently being developed known as "CAT6" (this cable is green in color usually), but the standard still isn't finalized nor approved. Rumors suggest it will be capable of a stunning 300mbps to 1gbps. This means possibly you'll be able to copy files over a network from one PC to another at an astonishing 125 megabytes per second. This is faster than some hard disk drives can copy from each other on the one single system! CAT5-E or Category 5 UTP Enhanced cabling is also backwards compatible with 10, 100 and 1000Mbit Ethernet connections.
The RJ-45 option is preferable over that of RJ-58, or more commonly known as BNC. This now outdated connection standard uses slower coaxial cable that is limited to 10mbps, which is what is used for cable TV to give you a better idea. RJ-45 and BCN at 10mbps respectively offer similar ping times. However, the difference in real world terms is slower ping latency in network games of roughly 30ms to 100ms depending on your specifications of your PC compared to RJ-45 at 100mbps.
- Hub vs. Switch
You have a couple options when it comes to hubs and switches. You're probably wondering just what exactly the difference between a switch and hubs is - allow me to explain. A hub broadcasts packets (data) to all ports, a switch stores in memory which IP address is connected to which port... so it is faster because it doesn't spray packets everywhere, making it much more efficient and effective. Another advantage to note is a switch can also run different ports at different speeds; a hub will kick down to the slowest speed. This would prove very favorable if say a friend brought his or her laptop to your house with only a slow 10 base NIC which would be hooked up to your network.
It goes without saying; I highly recommend a switch over a hub. When it comes to choosing a switch, you'll usually find them with combinations of 5, 8, 16, 24 or 32 ports and the price generally doubles for each jump in port numbers. Since we are setting up a network for our house, we only need a 5 or 8-port switch, unless you intend on hosting LAN (Local Area Network) parties in which case you should opt for the more expensive 16 or 32 port options. As with the choice of a NIC, the same applies for the decision on which switch you'll buy. Do you really need the quality and features of one? This is a decision you'll have to make yourself and the budget you've given yourself for this project.
- 802.11a and 802.11b
Look mum, "NO CABLES!" We also have a new wireless networking standard called 802.11a and also 802.11b. This exciting new standard includes terms like wireless access points so you have Internet connectively in every room of the house (Bill Gates nightly wet dream it would seem), but at this, I'd stick with standard switches because this technology is still developing and going through rapid change. I don't mind the idea behind 802.11a; I'm just hesitant and weary at this stage as I haven't played with this type of technology yet.
Back to standard switch talk now - As for brand name choices, there are many to choose from. Personally I use an 8-port switch from CNET, but other brands such as Kingmax, Netgear and Dlink are fairly reliable and carry a good name for their quality and are readily available for sale at most stores. I wouldn't have any problems recommending these to anyone. Below is a picture taken from the NETGEAR website of a typical switch...
Now that we've established exactly what we need to hook all the PC's up to each other on the network, we need to work out what specifications would be good for the server PC; the all important PC which will host things like the Internet, printers and games. Whilst the server isn't a requirement for the network to be successful, it's recommended basically so hosting services mentioned above on other PC's on the network have instant access at anytime needed.

Matt Richenthal at . CommentsNow that they've been properly introduced, we can tell you what Kelly Clarkson was doing with this highly-respeced democrat from Illinois.
Turns out Clarkson wasn't the only person to win an MTV Video Music Award, but fail to attend the ceremony. Obama actually won, as well, for Best Spoken Album.
We're not entirely sure why Kelly handed the award over, but we do know her and her band debuted the new song, "Believe" once they were there.

I love fun gadgets! Infomercials were easily one of my favorite programing choices. There is just something so comical about bad actors, ridiculous products and outrageous claims all mixed together that makes for a very enjoyable half hour of entertainment. I mean how many times can one person pretend to act surprised about a Magic Bullet?
"The Magic Bullet makes soup Jan!"
"Jan, The Magic Bullet, turns normal sugar into powdered sugar!"
"HOW Dan!? Is that amazing! Is it really magic Dan?"
"Listen to this Jan. The Magic Bullet will also clean up your kitchen for you! And that patch of weeds in your garden..."
And then the price game starts! This might be my favorite part of the whole performance! Why would anyone spend sixty dollars on an item that they've never seen in person? Because in the ad it started at one hundred and twenty bucks!
"Jon, How much would you be willing to pay for these amazing onion goggles?"
"They're the best kitchen solution in decades Bill, I'd easily pay seventy-five dollars!"
"Well your not going to spend seventy-five dollars, or seventy-four dollars or even seventy-two fifty!"
"Seventy-two dollars!?"
"That's right, but with shipping and handling it should be quite a bit more."
"For these cheap plastic goggles? What a deal!"
When you do get infomercials items home, they're never quite as good. I mean we had a food dehydrator but hardly ever used it. When it came down to it our jerky meat wasn't sitting out in a glass dish, ready to just add to the dehydrator like it was on the television. Who wants to spend the time making the fruit paste required to make 'home made' fruit roll ups when they're only fifty-nine cents at the supermarket?
How about the day you realized that in order to chop onions in the astounding chopper, you had to cut them into small pieces first. Doesn't that defeat the point? Additionally, no matter what they tell me, I have no need for a knife that can cut both the metal head of a hammer and slice a tomato to near transparent proportions.
So now you've spent way too much on a plastic gadget that will fill up more cupboard space and be used less than you ever dreamed possible. Such is life. Consider not that you spent too much on a cheap product, but rather that your money is going to keep quality programing on the air!

I am an infomercial junkie as well. My roommate and I used to combine those with watching the food network all day, you can imagine. All together we owned a Magic Bullet, a Jr. Deep Fryer, an Abtronic and some kind of hair removal system that burnt our eyebrows off. Thank God we didn't use it in another area they assured would be "painless." How much would you pay to get your skin burned off? $50?! $60?! Uh...yep, I'm an idiot.But it's nice to know I'm not alone.
- Patricia said...
I'm an idiot too Boston Love! My hair removal system didn't burn the hair off it just turned my legs into sticky sugary messes.
Although I did love my Curuso (I think thats how you spell it) Curlers. Curling your hair with steam. But did they forget to tell you that steam can give you 2nd degree burns. - 2:11 PM

We have a pickle picker at the chemistry lab where I work. We use it to pick up 1,000 degree ceramic crucibles.
They're also good to torture janitors with. - 2:48 PM

Just remember to set it... and forget it. Ronco is my hero!!
- Ando said...
You forgot the line used in every infomercial ever made, "But wait!"
Usually used in conjunction with "That's not all" and "You'll also receive..."
I wasted many a nights sleep watching late night infomercials. - 8:16 AM

Boston Love-
We have all fallen into the pit of the infomercial. How can we survive without it?!
The ONLY kitchen gadget I CANNOT live without is my amazing can colander! - 9:23 AM
- kludge said...
Another separation from men woman. Although we expect women to do this to themselves for our benefit, we would NEVER put anything that could cause 2nd degree burns in our hair! - 9:25 AM
- kludge said...
The pickle picker! Saves you from nasty pickle juice and flaying off your epidermal layer!
PS The janitors are spraying counter top cleaner in your coffee mug! - 9:29 AM
- kludge said...
J Crew-
It's amazing, I bet that 90% of America knows that tag line from an infomercial!
I love Ronco, but I have to say that, the spray on hair thing, was a bridge too far! - 9:30 AM
- kludge said...
Good ones!
I was actually having trouble coming up with these yesterday! If I had know your were such a repository I would have asked for some help!
"That's not all!" Might be my favorite infomercial line. - 9:33 AM

I am trying to display a number of pirticular units in a database. I have the following which shows the total number of units, but not the pirticular units.
For example, the code below will show: There are 11 Widgets.
What I am trying to show is:
There are 4 Red Widgets.There are 2 Blue Widgets.There are 5 Green Widgets.
Does anyone know how to do this please?
There are <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM organiserdbase", $link); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); echo "$num_rows \ "; ?> Widgets
Can you show us the relevant contents of one or two rows from your table?
Row: category
event managerparty planner
I am trying to read 'category' to show their are 16 Event Managers and 3 Party Planners.
At the moment I can only 19.
What does this show you?
$sql = "SELECT count(category) from organiserdbase WHERE category = 'event manager'";
This also picks out the total number of values. It shows 11 Red Widgets instead of 4 Red Widgets.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Just how many tables do you have, and do they contain widgets or people?
I think its time to show us the contents of 2 or 3 rows of one of these databases.
Whats the easiest way to do that, Im just using Widgets as an example obviously.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM organiserdbase", $link); $result = "SELECT count(category) from organiserdbase WHERE category = 'event manager'";
Should this work?
Did you try it? What happens?
$qry = "SELECT count(category) from organiserdbase WHERE category = 'event manager'"; $result = mysql_query($qry, $link); $a = mysql_fetch_array($result); var_dump( $a );
Hi, I tried this but it prints the code out on the page.
When I echo the result it echoes the following "Resource id #6" Not sure what that means.
I tried the below but it also echoed the total overall number of units in the row. It didn't read how many "event manager" there are.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do this? There must be a way of doing it.

Best-of-Breed Software Lives!
Steve HammOracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison has been the high priest of consolidation in the software industry. His pitch: customers want a few large software makers that offer them a wide array of products and services. They don't want to mess with a bunch of small fry. That made all the more interesting something that happened at Oracle's recent briefing for analysts in New York. Mike Jones, CIO of electronics retailer Circuit City and a major Oracle software customer, made a presentation that, in part, extolled the virtues of dealing with a handful of major tech suppliers. However, when he put up a slide listing Circuit City's strategic tech partners, it included StreamServe, a $50 million privately held software company. Looks like there's still a role for the so-called best-of-breed software company.
On the surface, StreamServe doesn't seem like much to get excited about. It's an eight-year-old company that started in Sweden to format printing jobs for big Unix computing systems. Boor-ing. But, over the years, the company has beefed up its capabilitites and now fills a vital niche in a corporate world were communications skills are at a premium. Chris Stone, a former Novell vice-chairman who came to StreamServe six months ago, has positioned the company as a "document presentment" business. It takes information that resides in all sorts of applications--from financial managment, to pricing, to inventory controls--and packages it for publication via a printer, e-mail, Web portal, or even a cell phone. "It's the 'last mile' of enterprise computing. It's how you present what you do," says Stone. StreamServe has 4000 customers, mostly in Europe, but is now making a major marketing push in the United States
Here's how it helps Circuit City: The retailer was losing out to Best Buy. One reason: Pricing was out of control. Each store had its own computing system for pricing items and printing out display labels containing all the important info: model, manufacturer, SKU, price. Circuit City hired the tech team of IBM, Oracle, and StreamServe to create a centralized inventory and pricing system for the whole chain. Now decisions about inventories and pricing are made centrally, and the chain can quickly change prices to respond to the competition or launch its own promotions. StreamServe's software gathers the info, sets it up graphically, and prepares for printing.
It's doing some cool stuff in Europe. For Daimler-Chrysler, the company prints out promotional messages on letters and notices the automaker sends to customers. For instance, a person who leases a car might get a notice that their lease is about to expire, and, on the same page, see a color picture of a new car they might be interested in leasing.
Is this niche big enough to build a cluster of companies around? Not clear. The challenge for StreamServe and a handful of small companies it competes with is to keep innovating rapidly--making it difficult for larger software companies to simply add what they do to a larger package as a feature. Best-of-breed status will matter only they keep doing what they do a lot better than behemoths like Oracle.

I definitely love to use this yarn to make my amigurumi, and it works exceptionally well.No split ends, great stitch definition, beautiful colors. But... the only problem I have with Vanna's choice is that is is not as soft as I would like it to be. The softness of this material reminds me of Red Heart Super Saver, which is very similar and much cheaper. Of course, the quality of this yarn is WAY better than Red Heart's, so I usually use Lion Brand anyway.I rarely use bulky, super, or jumbo yarn, so I am always on the hunt for some high-quality worsted. This yarn is definitely that. Highly recommended, but if you need soft, Caron super soft might be a better choice. Thank you for this great yarn, Lion Brand!

This yarn is one of my favorites to work with. It has such a luxurious feel when worked up, and washes beautifully at that. You cant beat the color selection either! Id of ranked it a 5 star, if they had bigger sized skeins!

Welding rolled pipe in the 1G position efficiently
A case for metal-cored consumables
For welding in the 1G position (in which the tube or pipe rotates), solid wire is traditional filler metal. However, metal-cored wire is making headway as an alternative. Metal-cored wire requires no land at the bevel, is more forgiving of welding dirty metal, produces less spatter, and allows travel speeds up to inches per minute.
Figure 1 When welding rolled pipe, the welder holds or fixes the welding torch at a 90-degree angle to the ground and at the 1 o'clock position in the joint. |
This type of pipe welding involves setting a pipe horizontally, in the 1G position, on a rotating table that rolls the pipe in place. The welder then holds or fixes a torch at a 90-degree angle to the ground and at the 1 o'clock position in the joint that connects the pipe to either another pipe or a fitting (see Figure 1).
While solid wire is the most commonly used consumable for this application, metal-cored wire is another viable option.
Although more costly per unit than solid wire, metal-cored wire is becoming increasingly prevalent in the industry, while meeting and sometimes exceeding the same demanding American Welding Society (AWS) standards as solid wire.
Metal-cored wire is a composite tubular wire consisting of a metal sheath and a core of powdered metals. It can be used with the same equipment as solid wire for welding rolled pipe in the 1G position.
Figure 2 Welding rolled pipe with metal-cored wire provides good gap bridging on root passes (see bottom portion of the pipe) and a consistent weld on fill passes (see top portion of the pipe), while eliminating the need for grinding between passes. |
The chemical and physical composition of metal-cored wire helps eliminate silicon deposits and spatter, as well as the need to grind each weld before making the next pass. Although precleaning is recommended whenever possible, the deoxidizers in metal-cored wire help provide cleaning action and allow for welding of dirty metal with minimal contamination. These features help create X-ray-quality welds from root to cap without stopping on many 1G pipe applications and speed the process of welding rolled pipe.
Spray Transfer
Metal-cored wire transfers the welding current through a thin outer sheath. This factor increases current density and lowers the voltage at which a welder can use spray transfer, allowing for welding on the root pass without blowing through the joint. Spray transfer with metal-cored wire transmits the metal in a funnel-like manner over a wide area. This wide arc cone provides a penetration profile that eliminates the need to grind the land on the pipe during preparation and also eliminates the need for a root gap (see Figure 2).
The spray transfer of the metal-cored wire produces little spatter, even at a high rate of metal deposition, because the small molten droplets create low turbulence in the weld pool.
Using metal-cored wire for welding rolled pipe often allows welders to standardize wire size. For instance, depending on the application, a 0.045- or 1/16-inch-diameter metal-cored wire could be used throughout an entire process. Not having to switch over helps reduce downtime while increasing deposition rates and reducing cycle times.
Travel Speed
What are the effects of metal-cored wire on throughput and overall weld cost? While metal-cored wire has a high initial purchase price, using a 1/16-in.-dia. metal-cored wire, for example, to weld on 6-in. Schedule 40 pipe provides travel speeds from 25 to 45 inches per minute (IPM). This travel speed, and the absence of grinding after passes, allows for welding a significant amount of material in a given time frame.
While the high travel speed of metal-cored wire benefits productivity, it may require alterations to existing welding equipment. Specifically, the equipment that rotates the pipe needs to keep up with the travel speed. Small-diameter pipe is a special consideration, as a 25-IPM travel speed on a 4-in.-dia. pipe requires significantly faster rotational speeds than the same travel speed on a 10-in.-dia. pipe.
Whether the work is being done for an oil refinery or a big-city high-rise office building, pipe welding can be a costly, labor-intensive application. Eliminating cleanup and increasing travel speeds ultimately help to lower overall weld costs. Using metal-cored wire consumables can be the first step in that direction.

So he has a copy of her data... but the jewel / heart is a bit of a toughie. Did he split the data? Did he send a copy of her data to a different computer? Did handing Asuna the jewel move the data from his PC to hers? I think (and the novel's don't touch it at all) he simply created something for her to hold onto as a reminder. It's cleaner, ultimately. And it harkens back to Pina's heart that we saw in earlier episodes so it's an easy tie-in for the anime viewers. Quote:

If you can't accept that reasoning, I recommend you never ever watch a Hollywood film involving hacking... because your head will explode, "I'm going to take my apple laptop into space and hack into the enemies computer system and win the war..." I just love the fact that we're having issues with the notion that someone can copy a piece of code... and NOT finding fault in the idea that someone can design a MMO that's totally self-reliant and doesn't need human intervention, and that can counsel psychological issues without needing a human shrink! Seriously? I mean... really? This is what we're getting hung up on? |

As to how he could transfer Yui to his nerver gear. That's a matter of how SAO handles the client and server side of things. Some MMOs let the client handle stuff like calculating your own character actions, holding inventory and other stuff where it is pre-validated and the calculated data is later sent to the server. |

Admittedly, my experience isn't in games, but what I imagine should happen is that if a player spots a bug and tells a GM, the GM (who isn't a coder) will try to reproduce it, and if he can do it, will then kick the matter to maintenance (who will be coders) along with the logs, or a way to extract the relevant logs, so they can try to reproduce it on a development server. At no point will the GM have access to the code, or even the raw data that makes up the application, nor can they be expected to extract the relevant bits. Though they may have techs to call on to do that. |

Also, remember what Kirito said several episodes back about the game being fair? Don't you think that would work both ways -- once Kayaba becomes aware of a deus ex machina in the game, you think he's going to let the heroes keep it? Considering they were shouting for Yui to come back when the light flashed, I doubt it. |

The episode seems to be executed poorly. The level 90 boss was... unexciting to say the least. The level 75? Or 85? boss they fought earlier felt a lot more menacing. The sob scene was... not actually sad. I could be too insensitive, but I can't feel anything even remotely close to Asuna's many tears. Something just doesn't tick there. How to say, between Asuna and Kirito getting to know Yui, to the near-death crisis that doesn't feel like one, to the revelation that Yui's an AI, to her 'death', to her prompt and super awkward resurrection as game object - everything is just too fast. Way too fast.

Ever heard of volume snapshots? Ever heard of... ehm... I work with writing virtualization related stuff and lets just say that in 10 years things will have changed a lot. Basically the most likely scenario for handling AI's, and even NPC's, etc, would be to run them separately under virtual machines. For many reasons, including dealing with inevitable hardware failures.

Yampa First-grader Louden Kirby might like South Routt Elementary School's new rock climbing wall "too much," he said as he clung to handholds Friday.
"My hands get lumps on them," he said, showing off his budding calluses. Louden then scampered his way up the wall and called for physical education teacher Artie Weber's attention, turning around and smiling when he reached the top.
Even the more timid first-graders appeared to be having a blast as they anxiously awaited their turns on the climbing wall during round-robin physical education exercises.
"It's a little bit scary but pretty fun," Hannah Hohenstein said as she navigated back and forth on the center of the wall, never venturing too far from the safety mats.
"It's high enough for elementary school," Weber said, keeping a close eye on a pair of first-grade boys who seemed to prefer clinging to the top of the wall rather than its molded handholds.
"Go slow - only the bigger rocks," Weber cautioned, as students climbed up, down and around on the wall and took an occasional spill onto the mats.
The new wall was paid for by donations from the Legacy Education Foundation, the South Routt High School Epycs Club and the Yampa Valley Community Foundation. Weber began seeking funding last year.
The climbing wall, made by Mendota Heights, Minn.-based Everlast Climbing Industries, was installed Tuesday night, with the delays occurring because of the complex state permission process for such equipment, Weber said.
"The people that donated funds were really terrific. They had a lot of patience with the process, because it took awhile," Weber said.
Students got their safety orientation for the wall Thursday, and by the following day it already was the highlight of physical education. First-graders came bounding into the gym Friday afternoon and made a beeline for the climbing wall.
"I taught 'em how to keep three points on the wall - one foot and two hands, or two feet and one hand," Weber said. "No swinging on it or jumping off."
The climbing wall adds another "nontraditional" option for physical education at South Routt Elementary School, Weber said, noting that variety is key because it allows each student to find something he or she likes and is good at.
South Routt Elementary School's fourth-graders hiked at Fish Creek Falls earlier this month, and they will get to take snowshoe trips to the Flat Tops this winter. In addition to helping improve the students' balance and coordination, the climbing wall is an activity that can be done year-round in the gym, Weber said.
"This is a challenge by choice. They go as high or as low as they want to be, as long as they're safe and a teacher is present to assist," Weber said. "The kids are nice to each other about it - they encourage each other."

SAN FRANCISCO (CBSMiami/AP) — It's the day Apple fans have been waiting for. The world's most valuable company has revealed its iPad 2 successor at an event in San Francisco. Apple's new iPad model features a sharper screen and a faster processor, the company confirmed Wednesday.
Apple said the new display will be sharper than the high-definition television set in the living room. The company says it will show more saturated colors than previous models.
The company said the iPad is powered by a new chip with four processing cores, for smoother graphics.
At the launch event in San Francisco, Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook said, "We are taking it to a whole new level and are redefining the category that Apple created with the original iPad."
Earlier, Cook spoke of a "post-PC" era dominated by the iPad and other Apple products.
Prices aren't changing from the previous models. They will start at $499. Versions capable of accessing cellular networks will cost $629 to $829.
The new iPad model will go on sale March 16 in the U.S.
Compared to the iPad 2, the new model features a higher-resolution camera on the back, comparable to the one in the iPhone 4S.
Apple also confirmed that the new model will come in a version that can use Verizon Wireless' and AT&T Inc.'s "LTE" wireless broadband networks. They offer speeds that are faster than the "3G" networks used by previous iPads, and current iPhones.
Apple also said it would start letting users store movies in its iCloud remote storage service, so they can be accessed through the Internet by PCs and Apple devices. It already lets users store photos, music and documents in the service.
Apple is also upgrading its Apple TV set-top box so it can play movies in 1080p, the highest-resolution commonly used video standard.
The small box, which comes with a remote, will still cost $99. The upgraded version will go on sale next week.

http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2012/1/6/2685425/draft-dallas-cowboys by Tom Ryle on Jan 6, 2012 5:00 AM CST in Dallas Cowboys General It's the draft season. Until April 26th, we are going to drown in a sea of mock drafts, draft boards, and draft wish lists. Numbers from combines and pro days are going to be examined, compared, dissected, filleted, chopped and julienned to try and sort out where players should go in the draft, and who the Cowboys should be looking to take. That is the supply side of the unique economy of the NFL draft. Under the BPA theory, you just take the whoever is the highest remaining player on your board.
Free agents I will wait to see who becomes available. Using this list of needs I would draft below CB Pass rushing OLB G/C ILB QB DE or CB NT, DE (if CB in 6), or CB (if DE in 6) I would go 1st- ILB vontaze burfict - butler takes over for spencer and loosing brooking and James we need someone to step in now. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/27475 2nd- CB Brandon Boykin - good coverage cb and returner. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/27704 3rd- G Kevin zeitler http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/28514 4th- OLB Brandon Lindsey http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/28195/brandon-lindsey 5th- QB Ryan lindley http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/28260 6th- NT Damon Harrison http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/28504 http://m.blogtalkradio.com/all-access-football/2011/08/25/damon-harrison-de-william-penn-statesmen 7th- Best available for remaining needs
Burfict is going to be lucky if he goes in the top 25 at this point. I also like him, but his character and attitude are really coming into question with all of the penalties he's been committing. Unless he kills it at the combine with his workouts and interviews he won't even be on our radar at 14
Burfict: "Plays with great intensity however, emotions can get the best of him on the field which has led to personal foul calls and costing his team in key situations (Late 4th QTR USC 2010). Also had three personal foul calls against Washington in 2009. No off-the-field issues that we are currently aware of. Had some maturity issues early in his career. Reports are that he has taken big steps this off-season in terms of maturing. Passionate and football is important to him. " We could use some passion and intensity on this team.

The PSP installment of James Cameron's Avatar places the player in the role of one of the giant, blue-skinned Na'vi warriors after the RDA has destroyed his village. From the description in the magazine (as reported by IGN), the game sounds a great deal like the Wii version we reported on previously. One feature that stands out, however, is the ability to transfer "Effort Points" from the PSP version to the PlayStation 3, augmenting your characters in the console version. PSP to PS3 connectivity? That James Cameron sure knows how to exploit untapped resources. Advertisement Advertisement Avatar PSP Details [IGN via Joystiq]Reply37 repliesLeave a reply

Abstract: | Knowledge of the environmental and genetic etiologies of complex cognitive disorders can guide strategies for diagnosis, prevention, and therapy, but disentangling the various causes can be very challenging. Two basic approaches can be used in identifying genetic factors, a top-down approach, in which phenotypic descriptions are used to discover genes that influence those phenotypes, and a bottom-up approach, comparing the phenotypic effects of genes that are known to cause syndromes that include cognitive disabilities. Thorough characterization of phenotypes throughout development is critical to both of these methods. These strategies have been applied to the characterization of genetic etiologies for reading disability, language disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism. |

Yes, I am shedding a tear for my duckies. They had such a good start to Game 2 tonight and then the Stars just slaughtered them. It's funny. Two years ago I would have been rooting for the Stars, but the Ducks have done well relatively all season to the point where I thought they might have a shot at keeping their feathers on the cup.My boyfriend and I watched in shock as the Ducks played against the Stars. There were intense moments. We laughed, we cried and we sighed. They could have done so well if they hadn't messed themselves up with 3 penalties right in a row. =_=
