Sanchez throws a TD in red-zone 11s, to Terrance Ganaway. Then picked by David Harris at goal line. #nyj
But then again it is a Cimini tweet. There is a possibility that Moore said nothing at all.
The cheap shot part bothers me. If in fact it was there should be serious ramifications to that sort of thing. We don't need Jets hurting Jets before the season even starts.
You are also assuming that it was a cheap shot and not simply an offensive lineman sticking up for a fellow offensive lineman.
Again, pessimists assume the worst. You are assuming Rex isn't under control and the fighting isn't something Rex wants.
Like KRL said, this offense finally has some heart and is pushing back against the defense. The defense isn't appreciating it,so they are pushing back. Sounds great to me. Then again, i am an optimist.
Fights, cheap shots all good in my book. Toughens the team up and gives pu$$ys like Brady something to think about.
Brian Costello @BrianCoz
Terrance Ganaway having a nice practice. Joe McKnight has been out in this team session. Ganaway getting a lot of reps #nyj
Jenny Vrentas @JennyVrentas
J. McKnight not in on this series of team drills. Sitting on bench. T. Ganaway looks good in meantim
I agree with this. But I think even optimists would agree that there is a saturation point where the fighting becomes too much. I don't think we are there yet, but if it turns out that Dixon did cheap shot someone (which I highly doubt) then I think it is fair to raise questions.
Jake Steinberg @Steiny31
Very nice practice for McElroy. 2 touchdowns, one to Jordan White and the second to Josh Baker. #nyj
Of course, we all sitting here behind our puters' have no idea if it was truly a cheapshot or if someone was simply playing to and through the whistle and someone else took issue.
Tough, physical play during camp? Absolutely. Taking someone's knees out when they aren't looking? Not so much.
You can be disciplined and chippy. Everyone fights in camp. Just don't get a 15 yder in the game, stay disciplined. If the Jets want to be a ground and pound offense and a top D, they better be a little more badass than last season.
And I seriously doubt Dixon went after Landolt. Nobody else tweeted that Moore accused him of a cheap shot. where was Cimini standing to hear him say that when nobody else did, on the field? Did Moore actually say the words "cheap shot"?
I hear Ganaway looked great today. Maybe he could be an answer at RB. I've never been a huge fan of Greene. McKnight and Powell don't excite me either, although I've heard Powell looks like a new man.
Some of you guys are such drama queens...

As we discussed in our recent article "The State of Deduplication 2012", these variables explain why backup data was the first and most obvious place to focus the technology on. While the cost of the media was relatively inexpensive, it was more expensive than the competitor that it was attempting to replace: tape. Backup, of course, also had a high level of redundant data so the effective capacity being delivered as a result of eliminating this redundant data was high. Finally, while performance mattered, it was competing with tape so it was less important than in other environments.
When looking at archives, these variables explain why deduplication has less value in disk-based archive appliances and why those systems have struggled to gain acceptance. Most archives are storing the last copy of data (maybe two) but not the multitude of copies like backup. If a backup system is getting 20x data efficiencies, archives will get 3x to 5x. In fact, a compression system may have more value here since compression performs optimization on every file instead of just redundant files. In the final analysis, tape may still be the ideal long-term retention area for archive, especially when augmented by a disk front end.
[ Learn more about solid state storage. Read All-Flash Systems Vs. SSD Appliances. ]
The big focus for data deduplication vendors lately is primary storage. The challenge with primary storage is that while the cost of the physical media is more expensive, it also has a low level of redundancy. The good news is that the redundancy level may be higher than the archive use case. Performance is a bigger concern on primary storage. The deduplication system has to be able to deliver the storage efficiency while having little or no impact on performance.
Another area that is getting increasing attention for vendors is applying deduplication to solid state storage. While there is greater risk of a performance impact, the benefits of efficient capacity utilization on flash-based solid state systems can be large. The cost of the solid state media is at such a premium that even a relatively small efficiency improvement (5x) is well worth the investment in and potential overhead of deduplication. And as we will discuss in our upcoming webinar "The Five Lies Told About All-Flash Storage", deduplication can be applied to all flash and still provide significantly better performance than a hard disk alternative.
Deduplication, like every other storage technology, can pay great dividends if used in the right situation. It clearly makes sense in backup, may make sense in primary data storage, and I think especially makes sense where ever flash storage is used.
All deduplication techniques are not created equal though, and some may perform better than others in given situations. As always, it is important to ask a lot of questions and do your own testing on your own data. In an upcoming commentary I will cover some important questions to ask your data deduplication vendor.

Hairston suspended one game for role in fracas
Greinke, Kemp not mentioned in release from Major League Baseball
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- Jerry Hairston received a one-game suspension, but Matt Kemp and Zack Greinke received no discipline in the aftermath of Thursday night's brawl between the Dodgers and Padres.
Hairston was suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount, while San Diego's Carlos Quentin was suspended eight games and fined an undisclosed amount. Both players appealed the action, so enforcement will be held in abeyance until a hearing.
Clayton Kershaw said Quentin should serve the suspension and be grateful it wasn't long.
"If he's smart, he'll take the suspension," Kershaw said after Friday's game vs. the D-backs. "Eight games is not nearly enough. For what he did, he should be OK with that."
According to a release from Major League Baseball executive Joe Garagiola Jr., Quentin's actions included "charging the mound and inciting the bench-clearing incident" after being hit by a Greinke pitch, sidelining the right-hander for two months with a broken collarbone.
Hairston, according to Garagiola, was suspended for "his actions during the incident."
After order had seemingly been restored, Hairston charged out of the Dodgers' dugout and toward the Padres dugout before being restrained. Hairston later explained he was going after a Padres player who was making fun of the injured Greinke.
Neither Greinke nor Kemp were mentioned in a release from MLB, even though they were ejected with Quentin and Greinke by umpires after the fracas. Kemp also had to be separated from Quentin in a chance meeting long after the game in the service tunnel under the stadium.

text: Just a quick note to share something I learned tonight that I don't believe was previously known. I had a meeting with ILM VFX supervisor Bill George (designer of the Excelsior and the Klingon Bird or Prey, amongst others), and in his house he had a whole bunch of scratchbuilt models he'd made of various Star Trek small utility craft all in the same scale. Well, one of those was one of the small shuttle-like vehicles seen in TSFS in spacedock and in TVH over San Francisco Bay and also in spacedock. I asked if I could see the model and he plunked it into my hands. When I mentioned that I'd never seen much on this craft, he said, "It's a tug. That's the tractor beam emitter," and pointed to the array of quarter-circle ribs on the back of the ship above the the nacelles. He went on to explain his idea that these ships would act as tugboats in spacedock, which is why you see them moving around the Enterprise...ready to guide her if necessary. So, there ya go...right from the designer's mouth, a bit of trivia I suspect none of us knew. You can see the tractor beam detail in the photo in row3, columns 2 and 3, and row 4, column 3 of this page.

scott r,I don't think this video was referenced on this forum before but it does show the pizza maker putting raw sausage on a pizza at Grimaldi's: .Peter
And then his unwashed hands go right into a container of grated cheese and who knows where else. And that's the problem in a commercial setting.
Ignoring the "who knows where else" part, is that really a problem? He isn't making any ready-to-eat food nor is the cheese or anything else up there going to be served without being cooked. I don't see the concern?
Is it really a problem? No, IF the cheese from that tub is only used on something cooked and the guy washes up before touching anything else. The guy just wipes his hand on his apron or a towel after handling ground raw pork. Not good. Don't ask for fresh basil! In my mind, the "who knows what else" is pretty important.Look, I use raw sausage. I'd trust you with handling raw ground meats. Some places, not so much........
Question cause I am not sure , assuming there is sodium nitrate in said sausage, is everything cool in that video? -marc
Raw sausage is the only way to go but I don't think you can cook it in 90 seconds the big chains all went to precooked beef and sausage crumbles because of health issues and labor costs. but the product sucks. Make sure you do the following and you wont have any trouble 1) use plastic throw away gloves about .02 cents each . 2) always break the sausage into small pieces if you can fit a dime inside a piece its to big. 3) always always put the sausage on las,t on top of everything and never ever let raw sausage be covered in cheese unless you are baking a deep dish pie for 20-30 minutes . Covering it up with cheese will shield it from the heat and make it cook slower.You might have a pie tha'ts done but sausage that's not The reason big chains all use "cheese blends" is because , 1) don't use raw sausage and burger 2) they use conveyor ovens. When you use only soft mozzarella the juices from the meat and the sauce are supposed to blend with it for flavor. This doesn't happen with a conveyor as the cheese cooks so fast it browns on top and doesn't have time to really mesh with the sauce.

As with a CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture) farm box that delivers fresh produce to subscribers, SirenSeaSA members receive boxes of fresh seafood, which could include oysters from Point Reyes, swordfish from Monterey and mussels from Bodega Bay. In December, members found crab and black cod in their boxes.
Recipes and tips on how to prepare — and in some cases, deconstruct — each week's delivery are posted on SirenSeaSA's website, along with information about the fishermen or farmers who brought in the catch.
SirenSeaSA was developed after North Coast Fisheries Inc. hired Larsen as a quality-control manager. Her career change was part of an impulsive decision to move back to her hometown of Petaluma, where she has fond memories of the fishing culture. Her fishmongering job connected her with other Bay Area foodies and fish-lovers, and at an event for leaders in the food community, Larsen was prompted by Bruce Cole of Edible San Francisco to start a community-supported fishery (CSF).
"Google was just beginning their CSF for employees at the time, and Bruce told me to make something like that happen," Larsen said.
Providing fresh fish that hasn't been overly handled, and connecting fishermen to a "very interested" market, also motivated Larsen.
"When you go to the grocery store, the fish never looks that great. Four or five people have handled it, and the fish could have been out of the water for a week. I wanted to provide people with fish that was as fresh as possible," Larsen said.
Larsen's definition of sustainable is two-fold. She says sustainable fishing methods should not harm the population or the surrounding ocean environment.
What began as a trial run for 35 San Francisco residents has evolved into a program that now serves more than 120 members. Larsen currently drops fish off at five locations around the Bay Area, and Mountain View is the newest addition.
Larsen said she received interest from a lot of people in the South Bay who were wanted to have a pickup spot close by. "I sent out an email and asked if anyone wanted to volunteer their home as a pickup location and one or two people wrote back right away."
Depending on the closest pickup site, members can travel to Mountain View, Oakland, Petaluma or two locations in San Francisco to pick up their weekly serving of seafood. Currently, there are only 12 members who use the South Bay pickup. Larsen said she could potentially handle another 18.
SirenSeaSA members can select how many times a month they would like to pick up fish from SirenSeaSA (twice or four times per month) and select the portion size of the seafood. A half share of fish, which costs $20 a week, will comfortably feed two people, Larsen said. The full share costs $40 and feeds four people.
Bay Area residents are no strangers to the benefits of community-supported agriculture, and there are a number of programs that deliver local, fresh produce to consumers. Community-supported fishery programs, on the other hand, are not as widespread. Google is the only other company currently serving the South Bay, and its subscribers are limited to Google employees.
Larsen said that she eventually plans to partner with Google once they branch out beyond their employee customer base. "Google uses fishermen in Half Moon Bay, so I will probably try to transition my South Bay customers to Google when both of us can support it."
Other plans for 2012 include expanding SirenSeaSA's membership and the variety of fish offered.
In the future, Larsen wants to provide more of a variety of seafood, especially rockfish and groundfish. "There's only so much Dungeness crab you can take," she said.
Larsen described herself as a perfectionist when it comes to fish and said she won't give customers anything less than perfect. A couple weeks were cancelled because she deemed the fish not up to par.
"I'm kind of a pest," Larsen joked. "I test the fish; I make sure I meet the fisherman and see the boat. I put a lot of thought into it and do a lot of fretting beforehand."
As a result, the fish that customers get on their dinner plates is "flawless," she said. "There may be a few bones in the fillet and you may have to gut a squid, but it will be delicious and it will be sustainable," she said.

Capriotti's fans can rejoice. The Bobbie has arrived.
The self-described In-N-Out of sandwich shops is opening its first Orange County restaurant Monday. Capriotti's, founded in Delaware in 1976, is known for its daily in-store roasting of whole turkeys. Its most popular cold sub, The Bobbie, is made with pulled roasted turkey meat, cranberry sauce and stuffing.
The majority of the chain's locations are in Delaware, Nevada and Pennsylvania. But Capriotti's is vigorously expanding nationally via franchising. In Southern California, it has locations in Los Angeles and San Diego.
"We have a number of loyal fans throughout Los Angeles and San Diego, and we hope that this new Orange County restaurant will see the same success," Chief executive Ashley Morris said.
The local franchisee, KCI Investments, plans to open 35 sub shops in Orange County, 35 in San Diego and 60 in the Dallas area.
"We're not messing around," said Adam Neumann, a regional manager for KCI Investments.
He said the next Capriotti's will open later this year in Newport Beach. The 75-unit chain generated $45.5 million in sales in 2011, according to Technomic, a restaurant industry market research firm.
The entrance of Capriotti's marks another out-of-state sub shop staking a claim in the region.
Others cropping up include Jersey Mike's, Which Wich, Firehouse Subs and Earl of Sandwich. The latter two plan to open fast-casual sub shops in Orange County but have yet to announce opening dates. Earl of Sandwich, which serves hot toasted sandwiches made with artisan bread, is under construction in the Downtown Disney shopping center next to Disneyland.
The Anaheim location will be the Florida-based chain's first in California.
"There's quite the sandwich war taking place in Orange County," Neumann said.
Neumann said Capriotti's is ready for battle.
The chain has legions of fans, many of whom have been eagerly awaiting the Tustin sub shop's opening.
"Our phones have been ringing off the hook all week," he said.
Las Vegas-based Capriotti's offers hot and cold subs, salads and sandwiches, including a few vegetarian options made with meatless topping such as vegetarian turkey and chicken.
The chain's most famous sandwich is The Bobbie, a Thanksgiving feast stuffed inside a hoagie roll and served hot or cold. (Note: The default sandwich is served cold, but some people like to order it hot, Neumann said.)
Like Jersey Mike's, Capriotti's serves three sandwich sizes, although the sizes at Capriotti's are different. Capriotti's offers a 9-inch small, a 12-inch medium and a 20-inch large. Depending on the sub, prices range from $7.49 to $13.99.
The chain also sells sandwiches made with sliced bread. Whole turkeys are roasted daily for 12 hours. Employees hand pull the meat every morning. Breads are baked and shipped daily to each store. Stores also make their own meatballs and coleslaw.
"We're recognized as the In-N-Out Burger of sandwich shops," Morris said. "Everything we serve is fresh and made daily in the store."
Capriotti's opens Monday at 10 a.m. at The District at Tustin Legacy. Address: 2487 Park Ave. (next to Peet's Coffee)

Celebi Egg glitch
The Celebi egg trick is a method to obtain Celebi in the Generation II games. Due to the fact that it is impossible to obtain Celebi via standard gameplay, this is, currently, the only way to get Celebi in the Generation II games without a Nintendo event. However, like most other glitches, it may damage the player's save data.
This glitch was first documented at Glitch City Laboratories. It was found by Paco81. There is another way to get Celebi, called Celebi trick (also found by Paco81), but these two glitches are slightly different.
This is only one known method of carrying out the Celebi egg trick and successfully obtaining the Celebi.
- The egg - The player must get an egg that will know Beat Up as its third move upon hatching. This can be done by training a male and a female Sneasel up to level 57. Both Sneasel need to have the same four moves in the same order, with Beat Up at position three. Because both parents have the same moveset, the offspring will share this moveset.
- The bad clone - The player must get a bad clone, a clone with a name made of only question marks, it's level will be 0 and it's gender will be different of the prototype's. If that Pokémon doesn't fulfill all those requirements, then it isn't a "bad clone" and it cannot be used for the trick. This can be done by Pokémon cloning. The box that is used for cloning must not be totally filled up at any time (otherwise the box is unable to produce bad clones). Getting a bad clone is a case of luck and occurs sometimes during the act of cloning. The chance of getting a bad clone is at maximum if the box has 15 to 18 Pokémon.
- Last requirement - The player must get any five Pokémon (preferably weak, common or otherwise useless Pokémon). They only have to know four moves each. The easiest way to get them is to clone a Pokémon knowing four moves until there is a bad clone. Because getting a Bad Clone takes some tries, he or she will get five unimportant Pokémon knowing four moves each as a positive side effect of the bad clone action.
- Step 1 - The player must first deposit the egg into a box. The five other Pokémon and the bad clone have to be in the party.
- Step 2 - The player must then go to the daycare and ask the man to raise the bad clone. He or she should then take it back from him, and it will be a ?????.
- Step 3 - Next, the player must put ????? at the top of his or her party and go to the PC.
- Step 4 - Using the "Move Pokémon without mail" option, the player must move any Pokémon (preferably weak or common Pokémon) from a PC box to the top of their party. Its name should become the name of its original Trainer. The player will now have 7 Pokémon in his or her party.
- Step 5 - Next, the player must go back to the Daycare man and ask him to raise the ?????. Afterward, he or she should return to the PC.
- Step 6 - Back at the PC, the player must deposit the first and second party Pokémon.
- Step 7 - Using the "Move Pokémon without mail" option, the player must move the egg from its PC box to the top of his or her party.
- Step 8 - Next, the player needs to deposit the next four party Pokémon, but not the egg.
- Step 9 - Subsequently, the player should withdraw any Pokémon that he or she didn't use for the trick.
- Step 10 - Having completed the set up, the player should walk or bike around until the egg hatches into a Celebi. However, the Celebi is still unplayable.
- Step 11- The Celebi will hatch at level 0. Due to how the game handles Pokémon that level up in battle, the player must allow the daycare couple to raise the Celebi to at least level 2. After this, it works like any normal Celebi.
Other methods
The reason why the player gets Celebi is the Beat Up move. In Generation II, both Celebi and Beat Up share the same index number: 251. This is not random, and should work with any other move-Pokémon combination; Psychic, whose index number is 94, should result in a Gengar hatching, while Splash, despite being the worst move, ironically would bring about a Mewtwo, as both share index number 150. This glitch therefore should not cause any glitch Pokémon to appear, as there were exactly 251 moves in Generation II, though Ledyba would not be obtainable in this way, as Struggle is unobtainable normally as a move.
If the Pokémon used for the breeding have no third attack, the Pokémon that will come out from the egg (after the glitch) will be the Glitch Pokémon #000 ?????.
This Pokémon cannot be deposited or released in the player's PC since it cannot be seen by the PC.
If a wild Ditto is transformed into that hatched ?????, the wild Ditto is no longer catchable by any kind of Poke Ball. Even a Master Ball will fail to capture it.
????? can also be found just by breeding a "bad clone" with a Ditto, and the only move it will know is Transform.
The Hatched Pokemon's Item
The hatched Pokémon will hold an item depending to the fourth attack of the Pokemon used for the breeding. Both the item and the fourth attack share the same index number. For example, if the two Pokémon (used for the breeding) have as fourth attack the move Reflect, the hatched Pokemon will hold a GS Ball. That's because both GS Ball and Reflect have the same index number: 115.
Some of the Pokémon that are deposited in step 6 and step 8 may have their names, gender, level, or attacks changed. Some of them will become "bad clones" and some will remain normal Pokémon. Some of them will have also the Pokérus virus.

Hello. My name is Kayla, and I figured I would write a little about me.
Name: Kayla (a.k.a. SiriusWillRetrn)
Age: 14 or 15 (maybe less, maybe more. You'll never know.)
Favorite Movie: It is a tie between Phantom of the Opera and all three of the Lord of the Rings movies.
Favorite Book: Once again, a tie between the Lord of the Rings(the trilogy, and the Hobbit, and all the other books that were written about Middle Earth) and the Harry Potter books(kinda a "dur" question)
Favorite Music: Anything except rap. I cannot STAND rap. It makes no sense!! WAKE UP, PEOPLE! RAP IS NOT MUSIC! ITS AN AUCTION WITH A BEAT BEHIND IT! What makes it even worse is when rappers thank god when they get an award. "Yes, I'd like to thank gawd for my number one hit single. S'called 'Kill All The Babies'. Peace out, yall." *glares*
Favorite HP Character: Sirius Black. Check out my penname, people. And I have thought this since BEFORE the fifth book. Stop telling me off because "I am not a true fan". Check out my ff.net name, SirusBlackRules. Its been like that for three years. And yes, I did cry when I found out he died.
Some of my favorite quotes:
"This is how it is - this is why you're not in the Order - you don't understand - there are things worth dying for!"-Sirius Black
"Reading between the lines, Id say she thinks youre a bit conceited, mate,"-Sirius (the timing was very funny)
"You're a prefect? Oh Ronnie! That's everyone in the family!" [Molly Weasley]
"What are Fred and I? Next door neighbours?"
Also, I must say that I am in love with theater. I see as many plays as I can, given my tight budget, and I have to say that so far The Phantom of the Opera is my favorite, followed by the Lion King in a close second. The Phantom is just a wonderful story, so even if it was just the book I would still love it. Every girl wants a Phantom...

It was the time service which really triggered the expansion of the astronomy department. when a St. Paul jeweler offered to give $5,000 to Carleton for the purchase of a German meridian circle to improve the accuracy of its time calculations. The Board of Trustees agreed to the deal with little hesitation. Astronomy was clearly the College's most vital and important program in the 1880s, and this made the Trustees' decision to support expansion of the observatory and its activities quite natural. A state-of-the-art 5" meridian circle was duly ordered from the Repsold company. Before the jeweler could pay on his pledge, he died, and a desperate appeal was made to railroad magnate James J. Hill, whose railroad benefited from the Carleton time-service and who came through with the money.
Whether by accident or design, the Repsold instrument was far too large to fit into the Carleton Observatory, and Payne appealed to the Board of Trustees to authorize the construction of a new building. All things considered, the trustees had little choice, and the cornerstone of the new observatory was laid amidst much pomp and circumstance in October of 1886.
At the ceremony, Payne made a speech that summed up both the philosophy and the proposed program of astronomy at Carleton. As for philosophy, he made it very clear that "This college believes in science that has Christianity and God in it, and is willing to avow that belief.... It believes in the methods of modern science for acquiring that kind of truth, but it denies that it is either the nature or effect of such truth to put the Almighty Creator out of the material universe, but rather to reveal the harmonies of his sovereign divine will."
His words sound strange, perhaps, to modern ears, but such a synthesis of science and religion would have been commonplace to Protestant educators in the 19th century and were, indeed, an echo of the very ideals of the creators of Carleton. This echo was particularly appropriate because the new building was to be named for the school's founder, Deacon Charles Moorehouse Goodsell, whose dream it had been to see in Northfield "a new Northwestern Oberlin: unsectarian, but filled with the Spirit...."
It would have been no surprise to Goodsell, had he lived to hear Payne's address, that the same speech which spoke of God in the heavens also laid out an ambitious and practical program of scientific and educational work for the observatory. "The plan of work is three-fold: Undergraduate instruction, fully illustrated by observation; a school for practical astronomy that will prepare students for professorships in astronomy and mathematics, or positions in astronomical observatories; and original research with special reference to solar studies. This plan is unique and furnishes a line of work not elsewhere found in this country." The idea of establishing a graduate program in applied astronomy and pure mathematics, organized on the most rigorous model-then the German University system-was one which Payne kept alive for another decade, and almost succeeded in pulling off. The astronomy department did award five Ph.D.s in the 1890s, mostly to Carleton graduates, but the Board of Trustees was never to become enthused by the prospect of establishing a formal graduate school.
However, everyone seemed enthusiastic about the new Romanesque observatory, which was unveiled to wide acclaim-including a two page spread in American Architect and Building News. It took five years for the observatory to be fully equipped and dedicated, although the building was occupied in 1887 and completed in 1888.
The wait, though, proved worthwhile. In 1890 Dr. Edward H. Williams of Philadelphia, who had endowed Carleton's first science building, donated $15,000 for a 16.2" refractor to occupy the observatory's large dome. Manufactured by the famous John Brashear of Pennsylvania, with glass from Paris and Lena, the telescope was 22 feet long, weighed 27,000 pounds (including the pedestal), and had to be hoisted in through the slit in the already completed dome. When it was installed, the scope was the sixth largest in the U.S. and the 12th largest in the world. (It remained the largest in Minnesota until 1969.) Within a couple of years on either side of acquiring the new telescope, Payne was also able to purchase a spectroscope and camera outfit for the Clark refractor.

November 20, 2012
An Arizona dump truck driver who killed four motorcyclists and injured five others has been sentenced to 26 years in prison.
Michael Jakscht received the sentence on Nov. 16 after being convicted of several counts in a crash at a Phoenix stoplight in 2010.
Following a trial this summer, he was found guilty of four counts of manslaughter, five counts of aggravated assault and four counts of endangerment.
Jakscht was tried on charges related to a March 25, 2010 crash in which he allegedly was under the influence of methamphetamine when he plowed into a group of motorcyclists stopped at a traffic signal.

Snow kidding: It's time to ski at Jiminy Peak
HANCOCK -- Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort will kick off the local ski season this holiday weekend -- a month earlier than last year -- with help from Mother Nature.
While Wednesday's nor'easter barely dusted Jiminy Peak with snow, the ski resort's snow guns have been blanketing the mountain with the man-made white stuff this week, thanks to below freezing nighttime temperatures, according to resort officials.
"We have a lot of snow, especially at the top where it looks like a winter wonderland," said Betsy Strickler, Jiminy's director of sales and marketing.
Strickler said she expects six to eight trails will be open and that both chair lifts will be running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday through Monday, the legal holiday for Veterans Day, which falls on Sunday. Jiminy officials hope to capitalize on some people having the day off since government offices, schools and a few businesses are closed.
The ski resort is also using the three-day stretch to raise money for the Berkshire County Chapter of the American Red Cross. Strickler said 25 percent of ski proceeds, such as lift tickets and rentals, will be donated to the Red Cross' disaster relief fund.
After a mild, virtually snowless 2011-12 ski season, Strickler is thrilled to get a good jump on this winter's skiing.
"We're a month earlier than last year, so we're viewing this as bonus time," she said.
Strickler noted that Jiminy will be closed mid-week and will re-open the weekend of Nov. 17 and 18 -- weather permitting -- before planning to open daily for the season on Thanskgiving weekend.
The Berkshires' four other ski resorts haven't announced when they expect to open for the season.

Warning/Attention: You Are Under Surveillance in Canada
Trudeau's Protection of Privacy Act made it illegal for people to use wiretaps and other forms of electronic devices without a person's consent. The law has since evolved, but its spirit still resonates with Canadians. That explains the widespread wince last winter, following Vic Toews' tabling of an "online snooping bill" that put an electronic prisoner's bracelet on every Canadian. And members of the LGBT community were left disturbed and frightened when a GLBT-themed message from the minister's office landed in their email inbox in September. The Harper government's Orwellian strategies constitute an affront on the Canadian way of life and the freedoms we all cherish.

Luetge gets big assist from Ichiro
By Greg Johns / MLB.com
The Mariners' Rule 5 rookie replaced Steve Delabar with runners on first and second and two out in the seventh, immediately gave up a single to Adam Lind ... and got out of the inning when right fielder Ichiro Suzuki threw out J.P. Arencibia at the plate to preserve the 3-3 tie.
That run would have been charged to Delabar, but Luetge happily avoided his role in that fate with Ichiro's help.
"That's why they tell us to throw strikes, for that reason right there," Luetge said. "You know you're going to give up hits sometimes. You just hope something like that helps you out."
The sinking sensation of seeing a pitch lined into right field was quickly replaced by elation for Luetge, who has allowed five hits now in 5 2/3 innings.
"You don't even care. You gave up a hit, but we got an out that helped us win the game," said Luetge. "If they score there, we probably lose. Initially off the bat, you're upset. But as the play progresses, I gave a little fist pump and everything. You try not to think about it. I made a bad pitch, he hit it and Ichiro threw him out. That's why he's out there. I wasn't too worried about giving up a hit after that."
The outfield assist was the 99th of Ichiro's career, tying him with Torii Hunter and Carlos Lee for sixth among active players. Since 2001, he's second to Jeff Francoeur's 100.
Manager Eric Wedge appreciated that play on both ends.
"It was the throw and the tag," said Wedge. "With Ichi going to the line and having to throw across his body like that, he's been one of the best in the game throughout his career at that. And Miguel Olivo did a great job snatching it and putting the tag right on him there. That was a great play."
Noesi nearly realized running dream
TORONTO -- Starting pitcher Hector Noesi was brimming with excitement Friday night after manager Eric Wedge told him to go get his spikes and warm up in case the Mariners needed a pinch-runner in the top of the 10th inning in what turned into a 9-5 victory over the Blue Jays.
With Justin Smoak, Jesus Montero and Alex Liddi filling the bases, Michael Saunders then launched a grand slam that lifted Seattle to victory and ended any need for Noesi, who charged into the happy celebration wearing a batting helmet.
The Mariners had used all their position players by that point and Wedge wanted to make sure he had somebody ready in case of injury.
"Not sure why he had the helmet on," Wedge said with a chuckle Saturday. "That was false hustle. I just told him to get the spikes on."
Noesi was still living the unfulfilled dream a day later.
"I didn't do it, but it was great," said Noesi, whose next start will be Tuesday in Tampa Bay. "I was starting to warm up and stretch, because I'd been sitting the whole game. I was just waiting for the moment. But I was hoping we'd get a hit and get a run in."
Noesi, who came up in the Yankees organization before being traded to Seattle this offseason, has never had a professional at-bat or appeared as a pinch-runner.
"No, but I can run the bases. And maybe hit, too, sometimes," Noesi insisted. "I played third base when I was younger, until I was 18."
Noesi assumed if he'd been called upon, he'd have replaced Smoak at third or Montero at second.
"It's just a game. You have to enjoy it," he said with a smile. "If they'd put me in, maybe I'd steal third base. And maybe home plate."
Wedge said Noesi would only have been used in an extreme emergency, however, since the Mariners would have needed to insert him on defense in the bottom of the 10th with no one else left on the bench.
How far would the scenarios have had to play out for all that to happen?
"Pretty far," Wedge said. "But you never know. If somebody gets hurt, depending on who it is, you just never know. When you get to that spot, you've got to be prepared for it."
Delabar challenges Saunders' homer memory
TORONTO -- Michael Saunders was trying to recall the last time he'd hit a grand slam before Friday night's 10th-inning game winner against the Blue Jays and his mind clicked to a 2007 Class A Minor League contest when he beat none other than current teammate Steve Delabar with a game-winning blast.
But Delabar, who was pitching for the Padres' Lake Elsinore team at the time, recalled a slightly different version.
"OK," said Delabar. "He did a hit a home run off me. I don't think it was a grand slam, though. And he didn't even know until I told him he hit a home run off me when I met up with him in Triple-A last year."
That led to some renewed ribbing between the two and some research that revealed Saunders actually hit a solo home run on May 22, 2007, in the ninth inning for High Desert to beat Delabar, the walk-off shot being his second home run of the day.
"My mistake," Saunders laughed. "It wasn't a grand slam. But it was a walk-off and I'll take that any day."
Delabar wasn't letting go that easily, though.
"Tell him to make sure there has to be guys on base to call it a grand slam. The Canadian exchange rate doesn't work that way," he said of his Victoria, B.C., teammate. "And it was in High Desert. It was basically windblown. It wouldn't have been out in any other ballpark.
"In fact, if I'm telling the story, he popped out."
Worth noting
When Saunders hit his solo home run in the ninth and grand slam in the 10th on Friday, he became just the third Mariners player to hit two home runs in the ninth inning or later. Donnie Scott did it on April 29, 1985, against the Brewers and Jim Presley had two late bombs on Opening Day 1986 against the Angels, including a walk-off slam in the 10th.
Designated hitter Jesus Montero collected his 12th RBI with a solo home run Friday, tying him with Kenji Johjima (2006) for the most RBIs by a Mariners rookie in April since 1986. Alvin Davis holds the club record for April rookie RBIs with 17 in 1984.

SZCZECIN, POLAND - DECEMBER 19, 2012 - EXOR Studios, an independent game development company is proud to announce that Zombie Driver HD is now available on the PlayStation Network in North America for $9.99. The game will also be coming to the European and Japanese stores in January.
A launch trailer showing huge mutated bosses, hundreds of annihilated zombies and non-stop action:
Zombie Driver HD Launch Trailer:
"Zombie Driver HD on the PS3 is the first console version of the game rendered in native 1920x1080 resolution with no compromise. We wanted to make sure that the game looks really good in Full HD and a simple "up-scale" of our 2D art was out of the question. Instead we took the extra effort of actually manually re-making all of the HUD elements, character images, cutscene subtitles, etc. to make sure all elements of the game are extra crisp."
"Not only that, but we also prepared an exclusive reward on the PS3 for completing the Story Mode. If you like smashing zombies with your car, you're going to enjoy it a lot more with a super fast Drifter super car. It is the fastest car in the game and as soon as it is unlocked, it becomes available in all game modes." - said Pawel Lekki, co-founder of EXOR Studios
Zombie Driver was first released on the PC platform in December 2009. Zombie Driver HD is a hugely expanded and improved new release and includes more than three times the content of the original.
EXOR Studios received a lot of questions about the differences between the old PC version and the new HD version. Here is a short description of the things that were improved in the past 2 years:
The original game had 17 missions - the HD version has 31 missions with much more gameplay variety. In the HD version, there are multiple different objectives like defending against waves of zombies, epic boss fights, spraying anti zombie repellent, driving special vehicles like the military truck, the tank or the bulldozer as well as bombing missions. The city is a lot more alive in this version because there are moving military vehicles, soldiers fighting with zombies or birds feeding on corpses. A bunch of in game cut scenes tells much more about the story than the previous version did. New enemies have been introduced in the form of zombie spawning infected buses, cargo containers or huge mutated mounds of flesh. The game is a lot more focused on using weapons against zombies which improves the pacing. There is a new Mission Select option that allows to play any mission with any already unlocked car, weapon or upgrade. The minimap is also one of the additions that were made to the HD version along with a large city overview map accessible at any time.
To sum things up - the original version of the Story Mode took about 4 hours to finish - the HD version Story mode takes about 8-12h to finish depending on the player.
There are also other numerous improvements and enhancements to the gameplay mechanics and graphics. These have been described in more detail at www.zombiedriver.com.

As you due date approaches you may gaze longingly at the calendar hoping to fast-forward time to that magical date that your doctor and every online due date calendar has bestowed upon you for the "big day." Although only about 5% of babies are actually born on their due date, it's nice to have a target in mind so you can at least organize your life and feel some control over your body and your future. As you get increasing closer to your due date in the last trimester, oftentimes the due date anticipation can become overshadowed by due date anxiety, particularly for first time moms. We all hear the birth horror stories of long hours of pushing, last minute c-sections and the overall agonizing pain of labor which can hit anytime in those final weeks and days. We hope and pray we will have some control of the details surrounding our babies introduction to the world and that it can be as pleasant of an experience as possible if not a joyful one.
Well, it turns out we do have more control than we think. Women's bodies are actually designed for childbirth and for having a child naturally, should we choose to do so. If we opt in advance, or even last minute, for some additional medical assistance in the way of labor induction or painkillers, that's ok too. The nice thing is that we do have options; we can plan a homebirth, a birthing center birth or a hospital birth. We can opt for a midwife, a doula, and/or a doctor and whatever company we want in the room. Our husbands can be trained as a birth partner to share in the experience and help us through our hardest moments as well as share in the triumph of our baby's birth. We can train in Lamaze, yoga, hypnotism and any number or breathing, self-visualizing and relaxation techniques. Gyms have countless classes for expecting women, salons have special prenatal massages and yoga classes have created an industry around expecting and postpartum mothers and their newborns.
The biggest obstacle for most expecting women is themselves and not trusting in their bodies for labor and delivery. Doctors are there to help and monitor us through labor if we go with a hospital birth, but they cannot birth our baby. It is our bodies that nourish and birth our baby and perform the contractions necessary to carry out this process. It is easy to feel that once we put that hospital gown on and get hooked up to monitors that we no longer own our bodies or our birthing process, but we do.
The best way to seek control over the birthing experience is to create a Birthing Plan. Know and map out in advance what your ideal birthing scenario would be. Decide who you would like present at your birth, obviously where you would like to give birth. Should you opt for a home birth you will need to make those preparations with a midwife well in advance. You should know exactly what essentials are needed for that for a home birth down to the details of bedding and clean-up and a back-up hospital plan should you need more help as our labor progresses and in case any emergency that should arise.
Many women planning hospital births are further helped by a Birth Plan that they can review in advance with their doctor and loved ones who will support them during labor. Your husband or birthing support members may need to help communicate their needs during the labor process, so having your "team" on board with your exact wishes will provide your with further assurance and emotional support. It will also help you relax as you approach your due date and enable you to visualize and anticipate your labor in a positive way.
The next important step is to pack your hospital bag well in advance. Pack all the props your need for labor support including your favorite CDS and music mix, tennis balls for back message, change of clothes for during and after labor, a camera for those first newborn photos, nursing bras and possibly nursing pajamas or nighties to wear at the hospital for after you have or baby. Also pack for your baby including the baby sleepers, socks and blankets (as well as your carseat!) so your can feel your baby is your own and not the hospital's and also to make those first pictures all the more personable and memorable.
Overall, the more action you take in advance to plan your birth and your early postpartum days from readying your baby's nursery to "coaching" your doctor, midwife and loved ones on your preferred birth plan, the more in control and relaxed you can be for your big day. Remember, your body is your best friend, so set the stage for it to do what it is designed for in the most relaxing, personal and friendly setting possible and you will be rewarded.

In An Age of Instant Answers, What Kind of Information Are Our Kids Getting?
During my 20-plus years as a sex educator, I've heard a lot of misconceptions and outright bad information that teens pick up about sexuality and sexual behavior. The questions generally go something like this:
Can I get pregnant from … pre-cum … oral sex … semen in a hot tub?
Will birth control make me fat … sterile … depressed?
One of the most memorable ones I've come across is the "Can Coke prevent pregnancy?" question. It's an urban legend that has changed brands over the years, but has refused to go away. All you have to do is Google the phrase "will Mountain Dew" to see how widespread this particular piece of bad information has become. When I recently did this, my top five results included "will Mountain Dew kill sperm" and "will Mountain Dew make me sterile."
There's no disputing that our teens need information about what's going on in their bodies, in their relationships, and how to protect themselves — and they are searching online for answers. Research shows that 95 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds go online, and 80 percent of teens are on social networks such as Facebook and Tumblr. Many are turning to these networks and forums like "Yahoo! Answers"with their questions. In fact, forums often come up among the top search results when you Google questions about sex.
Given the high numbers of teens online, providing a space for them to ask their questions is clearly a good idea. The problem is that anyone can answer questions on public forums, and that leaves our kids vulnerable to a lot of misinformation that may put them at risk. One teen, for example, recently wrote into an online forum asking if she could get pregnant from using a vibrator. Among the 15 respondents, one claiming to be a doctor included an e-mail address with his answer and encouraged the teen to contact him directly if she had more questions.
Scenarios like this are why helping our teens distinguish between legitimate and bogus information that pops up online may be one of the best things we can do to help protect their sexual health, keep them safe, and guide them to information that can help them make good choices.
Admittedly, that can be tough to do when it's not always clear which sources of information are credible. But, there are a few things we can teach our kids to help them find accurate information about health and sexuality when they go online.We can direct them to reputable sources like Sexetc, the American Social Health Association, It's Your Sex Life and Planned Parenthood Info for Teens.
We can also advise our teens to follow the rule of three: They should be able to find the same information from three reputable, independent sources before accepting it as truth. How can they know if it's a reputable source? Sources that are from a government agency (with a URL ending in .gov), an organization (.org), or an educational institution (.edu) are more reliable than URLs that end in .com. We can also encourage them to talk with us if they find a source that they are not sure about.
Look at it this way: Our kids will be looking for information on a wide variety of topics throughout their lives. Helping them to distinguish good sources from bad is a key life skill.

Discussion in 'Sports and Fitness' started by Lonemagpie, Jan 1, 2013.
Might as well leave the 2012 thread now, and look ahead to the new season...
I know I probably said this last year, but I'm going to stop watching if Vettel wins it again. Here's hoping for a shit season for Red Bull (unless Vettel forgets how to drive and Webber really steps it up).
i hope vettel wins.
Well you never know what's going to happen. Ferrari might build a deecent car, McLaren might get rid of their tactical and operational errors, Red Bull might build rubbish car and Mercedes might a half decent car.
Bring on 2014, honestly. Hopefully the exhaust regs will probably put Adrian Newey machines completely out of contention (unless he remembers how to design cars that don't rely on abusing exhaust gases in any way), and all the Vettel fanboys will be able to see him for the petulant little shit he really is, once he's come to the realisation that he's not going to be winning anything and ramps up his whining.
Why do I suspect that the 2013 season will be less unpredicatable than the 2012 season?
2012 got quite boring by the end anyway, once the top teams had perfected their EBD-ban-bypassing solutions and everyone had got the hang of the comedy tyres. Next year will just be more of the same old crap, only Hamilton will almost certainly be out of contention, so there'll be one less driver to stop the Golden Brat from running away with it.
I dunno that it will- Ferrari have sorted out their early-2012 difficulties, we've now got Perez instead of Hamilton in the McLaren, and we don't actually know for sure what the July 21 race will be!
Even if he does, you'd be wise to watch again in 2014 when a shedload of rule changes come into effect that will have the most effect on Red Bull.
Of course, he'll probably choose to jump to Ferrari at that point...
But that's a whole year away.
The new rules will make EBDs effectively impossible, but considering that they were originally supposed to mark the return of ground effects, they're quite disappointing, really.
I bet that Red Bull had something to do with ground effects being taken off of the new regs (being the dirty brown nosers that they are); they'd probably invested too much money (including that of their various 'unrelated' *cough* companies) in the current aero regs to risk having all of their data rendered useless.
All the manufactuers have tried to bend the rules, use every loop hole for decades.
geckothan, i know you hate red bull (is it the taste?) but don't just make shit up about them. you have no idea whether they had anything to do with regulation changes.
If i where a team owner, I would be after Newey.
Ok, the first part of my message was pure BS speculation, but there's truth in the second part.
Red Bull Technology anyone? Red Bull Racing might not be able to get away with sharing designs (and thus, have an extra source of relevant data) with Toro Rosso these days, but at the very least, Toro Rosso still benefits them greatly by filling the grid with two cars that are willing to get out of the way when the Golden Brat comes up behind them (which might not be an issue 99% of the time, but it certainly made a difference for said brat in 2012, with those critical races from the back), and push the blue flags to the limit to get in the way when being lapped by RBR rivals.
Other teams might push the rules, but in terms of winning races/podiums/big points with cars that are either explicitly illegal or insulting enough to the spirit of the rules that they are later made illegal, Red Bull are by far the biggest offenders in recent years, by a huge margin. I guess Adrian Newey has a pretty extensive history of designing rulebreaking cars. I've always found it hilarious how eager they are to jump on the bandwagon when other teams are accused of cheating, yet they go emo-mode and whine about being 'victimised' when they're actually CAUGHT cheating themselves.
Don't forget that Red Bull aren't in FOTA for a reason. They simply don't give a single shit about the Resource Restriction Agreement, they were accused of dishonouring it, most likely never intended to honour it (more speculation, sorry), and so left to avoid the embarrassment of being caught dishonouring it in the future. While there are several valid arguments against the RRA in favour of other forms of cost cutting, some of the ridiculous stunts Red Bull have pulled in the past make it clear that they simply do not care one bit about any form of cost cutting, and Christian Horner desperately trying to insist otherwise won't fool anyone (what's he's really thinking in his head when he brings up the subject is probably something like 'LOL WE CAN SPEND MORE MONEY THAN YOU GUYS LOL ENJOY YOUR FOTA SUCKERS LOL WE DONT CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF F1 AS LONG AS WE WIN AND THEN WHEN THE OTHER TEAMS RUN OUT OF MONEY WE CAN JUST BUY THEM ALL AND TURN THE SERIES INTO FORMULA FIZZYDRINKS LOL').
Yes, I have it in for them.
i'm sure adrian newey is quaking in his exquisite shoes.
If history is anything to go by a team only has a finite time at the top, In the early 1990's it was Williams, then McLaren, then Ferrari and so on, so sooner or later Red Bull will be knocked off the top step of the podium, who knows next time it might be Lotus or Mercedes.
not long until the new cars are unveiled - McLaren launch theirs on January 31st, Force India on February 1st, and Sauber on Feb 2nd. Pre-season testing starts Feb 5th.
Hopefully the noses of the other manufacturers will be closer to the 2012 McLaren this year than last years broken (stepped) noses.
It's pretty amazing how ugly race cars have become today. You think back to the FW14B or the MP4/7A, or 1990's era Penske or Reynard Indycars, etc. Then compare them to the stepped nose F1 monstrosities of today, or the COT in NASCAR. Maybe motorsport needs some kind of aesthetics rule? I understand the military going for function over form, but this is sport.
IM looking forward to see what hamiltion does in the mercedes and if perez stuggles in the mclaren and if he can beat button.

The fab five of Fifth Harmony congratulated the "Final Five" USA women's gymnastics team for winning the gold medal last night (August 9).

"YESSSSS!!!!! OUR GIRLS GOT GOLD," tweeted the all-girl pop group. They included a video they made for the team.
The 2012 Olympic team were called the fierce five. On last night's broadcast sportscaster Bob Costas asked the 2016 team why they called themselves the "final five." They explained that this would be the final Olympics with a five person team and the final Olympics for coach Martha Karolyi.
The team includes Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Simone Biles, Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian.

New For 2013
The addition of a four-cylinder and a V-6 to the engine lineup mean the 2013 XF is more affordable and more efficient. All-wheel drive, available only with the V-6, is an option for the first time. A new eight-speed automatic replaces the old six-speed across the line. The V-6 and the V-8 incorporate auto stop/start to improve efficiency.
The XF has always been one of the more appealing vehicles in its segment, but its V-8-only lineup has limited sales. That changes for 2013 with two new engine options, a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6. The latter can be paired with all-wheel drive, another first for the XF. The four-cylinder is essentially the same Ford-sourced, 240-hp engine used in the Range Rover Evoque. It's an excellent engine and works well with the eight-speed automatic (now standard in all XFs). The supercharged 340-hp V-6 is new for Jaguar. Its immediate, strong thrust and smooth character remind us of Audi's highly regarded engine of the same displacement. The V-6 effectively replaces the XF's normally aspirated V-8, but buyers who want that throaty growl still have two supercharged V-8s to choose from, topping out with the 510-hp unit in the XFR. In any form, the XF steers and handles like a much smaller car, and yet it rides better than many of its competitors. Meanwhile, Jaguar has addressed many of the flaws that held back the XF when it debuted in 2009. The touch-screen infotainment system is quicker. The once generic front fascia is now more aggressive and distinctive. Most important, Jaguar seems to have addressed the car's early quality issues.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; traction and stability control; and tire-pressure monitoring are standard.
You'll like:
- Engaging to drive
- More distinctive exterior
- Warm interior
You won't like:
- V-8 is still thirsty
- Finicky interior controls
Key Competitors For The 2013 Jaguar XF
- Audi A6
- BMW 5-Series
- Infiniti M56
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Sum Up
The most emotional mid-size luxury sedan gets a dose of practicality.

Titans are having a private workout with Murray on his pro day.
Jim Wyatt @jwyattsports 1h
The #Titans have scheduled a private workout with Georgia QB Aaron Murray. His Pro Day is Wednesday
Yea we are selecting a qb
somewhere, yea.
I just hope its Murray or JG.
Murray or fail.
RT hates him. Therefore, he'll be great.
Murray must be half black or something.
RT also hates Jimmy G
Murray remind anyone else of Hasselback?
Bridgewater does.
If either can be that good then take 'em
A 22 year old Hasselbeck sounds awesome though.
If we had a QB play like Hasselbeck did for us in 2011 every season for the rest of his career it would mean multiple Super Bowls IMO.

Dear Members,
Abhidhamma View : Doors to Emancipation
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @SariputtaDhamma/JTN]
CMA IX, p. 356 - 357:
Therein, the contemplation of non-self, which discards the clinging to a self, becomes the door to emancipation (vimokkha: liberation, deliverance) termed contemplation of the void. The contemplation of impermanence, which discards the sign of perversion (vipallaasa-nimitta), becomes the door to emancipation termed contemplation of the signless. The contemplation of suffering, which discards desire through craving, becomes the door to emancipation termed contemplation of the desireless.
When insight reaches its culmination, it settles upon one of the three contemplations --of impermanence, or suffering, or non-self-- as determined by the inclination of the meditator. According to the Commentaries, one in whom faith is the dominant faculty settles upon the contemplation of impermanence; one in whom concentration is the dominant faculty settles upon the contemplation of suffering; and one in whom wisdom is the dominant faculty settles upon the contemplation of non-self. This final phase of contemplation, being the meditator's immediate access to the emancipating experience of the supramundane path, is thus called "the door to emancipation" (vimokkhamukha). Here, it is the noble path that is called emancipation, and the contemplation leading to the path that is called the door to emancipation.
The contemplation of non-self is termed contemplation of the void because it sees formations as being void of a self, a living being, a person. The contemplation of impermanence is termed contemplation of the signless because it abandons "the sign of perversion", that is , the deceptive appearance of permanence, stability, and durability which lingers over formations owing to the perversion of perception. And the contemplation of suffering is termed contemplation of the desireless because it terminates desire by abandoning the false perception of pleasure in formations.
Love Buddha's dhamma,
