If you would have told me that Detroit would get eliminated in round 1, Pittsburgh and Vancouver would be on the verge of elimination in Round one, Washington would be keeping Boston in check AND beating them, the Rangers would be having trouble against Ottawa and Florida would actually be giving the Devils a run for their money... I would have laughed.
However if you told me Vancouver would start using Schneider to start two straight games because they lost confidence in Lu (again), I'd probably nod in agreement.
red panda red panda red panda!
Lundqvist and Anderson, the only reason this game hasn't turned into a Pens/Flyers game, so many chances
Way too excessive of a punishment for that hit. I guess his prior history got the better of him.
I remember it all too well

Really impressed by the Panthers fight right now. Grats to them on going up 3-2. Plus there was an automatic empty net goal and I can't remember the last time I saw that.

Rangers playoff hockey is so pathetic lol But they will always be my team...
I torture myself with the Knicks every year too.
Detroit eliminated - another hard first round for the Wings. As a Leafs fan, I say welcome to the golf courses.
Also of note is the thrashing Boston is taking - 3-2 now against Washington; it's looking pretty grim for the defending Stanley Cup champs.
Ottawa is now leading the series against the serious contender (and runner up) to the president's trophy, which is pretty amazing - but there's still a game ahead, they need to keep their focus on that game and not get ahead of themselves. I'd really like to see them knock out New York, would be nice to see some Canadian teams make it past the first round this year.
With Chicago facing elimination, it's looking pretty bad for original six teams; 2 didn't make it, and the other 4 are either gone or facing elimination.
Hopeful for the Canucks, but I'm not holding my breath or anything. I'm actually surprised how they scheduled the games this week. Sunday, Wednesday, Sunday - that's an awful lot of time between games. Let's hope that extra rest works to their benefit, I'd like to see Vancouver in the finals this year, now that I live here.

3 violations of the rules, 5 head shot violations since 2007, all very similar in nature, however he did not leave his feet at any point in those incidents, however he did receive discipline from the NHL (laughable mind you) for the hits. 5 offenses all hits to the head, if you don't think the duration of the suspension is justified, then you are bat shit crazy. It gets a dangerous player out of the league and sends a message that this kind of nonsense is not going to be tolerated.

I'm far enough from downtown to be safe, but close enough to see it burning, heh.
Well, now the questions start for the Sharks. Do they fire Todd McLellan as was the rumor prior to the playoffs to try and get the team moving in a new direction? It seems absurd to fire a coach that went 195-92-41 with three division crowns in his four years as a head coach though. Go to imagine they at least shake up the core.
Big grats to the Blues. Welcome back to relevance St Louis. First playoff series win in a decade.
Who would have guessed the Wings and Sharks would both be knocked out in 5 games, Vancouver and Chicago are on the precipice of being knocked out in 5 and Boston is potentially getting dropped in 6. Nuts.

Just came across this picture: http://octopusthrower.com/files/2011...s-choke-bb.jpg
If Phoenix closes this out, Phoenix/Nashville is going to be the worst series ever. Every single game is going to be 2-1 or 1-0. Two non-spending teams facing off in the second round of the playoffs thanks to excellent goaltending and commitment to defense first. What is this the fucking mid-90s?
If I'm the Sharks, I make it a priority to try and move Marleau. How many seasons in a row does he have to completely be terrible in the playoffs before the last four people that support that guy jump off his wagon? 0 points, -1 in 5 playoff games as one of the veteran leaders of the Sharks.
How nuts is it that the Marty Brodeur Rule basically fucked the Devils as intended and cost them the big crucial second goal in today's game? Poor guy. The NHL creates a rule solely to fuck with Brodeur's biggest strength and it hurts them as intended in a crucial playoff situation.

San Jose out shouldn't surprise anyone, they are notorious for not showing up in the playoffs. I think they need to look at their roster and consider just blowing it the fuck up, Thornton isn't getting any younger and could go to a team that need's a top tier centremen like Toronto does, and I have no doubts that Burke is going to be picking up the phone the day the season is over and inquiring about Joe Thornton or Logan Couture because you can bet your bottom dollar that with their playoff failings San Jose will consider retooling from the ground up if they can get good value for their players.
Also, in other news, at least there is playoff hockey in Toronto. The Marlies have a 2-0 series lead on the Rochester Americans and can close out the best of 5 series with another win. That team has been good to watch when there isn't an NHL game on.
well another year of fail. guess i turn into a flyers bandwagoner for the rest of the series. at any rate, GO FLYERS!

No automaker has done a better job of surrounding itself with a green halo than Toyota. Its Prius model has routinely generated half of all hybrid sales, a number now approaching two-thirds since the introduction of an entirely new Prius "family," including the big V, compact C and the Prius plug-in.
The latter model was the first from the Japanese maker to opt for state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, rather than time-tested, if less powerful, nickel-metal hydride batteries. After running into some early development problems, Toyota has been reluctant to go with more advanced lithium – which partially explains why the Asian giant decided to reach outside for help when it laid out plans for its first pure battery-electric vehicle in two decades, the 2012 Toyota RAV4-EV.
The project pairs Toyota with Tesla Motors, the bold California start-up that just introduced its own new battery-electric vehicle, or BEV, the Model S sedan. In fact, they share many of the same underlying components – which is why the 2012 Toyota RAV4-EV is likely to shock those used to the typically slow-as-a-snail battery car.
The new Toyota battery car boasts great performance, and good range and handling – but echoes other recent entries from the Japanese maker by cutting corners on interior fit-and-finish. And the new RAV4-EV introduces what may be the singularly most user-unfriendly infotainment system since the very first BMW iDrive hit the road.

Mets' Davis delivers
He hits pinch-hit, walk-off grand slam after losing 1B job
Published 10:02 pm, Saturday, April 5, 2014
New York
After a demoralizing start to the season during which nothing seemed to go their way, the New York Mets are making all the right calls.
Pinch-hitter Ike Davis hit a walk-off grand slam one batter after manager Terry Collins won his first replay challenge, and the Mets rallied to beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 Saturday.
"That was a tremendous ending, especially for Ike going through what he's going through," Collins said. "To come in in a big situation and come through, that's great stuff."
Brandon Phillips gave the Reds a 3-2 lead with a two-run homer off Dillon Gee in the eighth, two innings after Curtis Granderson connected for a two-run drive off Johnny Cueto for his first homer with the Mets.
Trailing by a run in the ninth, Juan Lagares walked leading off against fill-in closer J.J. Hoover.
Anthony Recker got a bunt down on a ball that was above his eyes, and first baseman Joey Votto threw to shortstop Zack Cozart covering second. Second-base umpire James Hoye called out Lagares.
Running down the first-base line, Recker knew the Mets had an opportunity.
"As soon as he called him out, I was thinking to myself how we should challenge it," Recker said.
So was Collins.
After a review of 2 minutes, 14 seconds, the call was overturned by crew chief John Hirschbeck.
"You've got to go out," Collins said. "Took a chance. But you've got to. It's just a close play anyway. We've got that opportunity to challenge that, so I had to take a shot."
Reds first-year manager Bryan Price agreed with the call.
Hoover (1-1) then walked Ruben Tejada to load the bases.
Davis lost his starting first-base job to Lucas Duda a day earlier, but he was called on to hit in the pitcher's spot and lined a 0-1 curveball off the facing of the right-field porch, setting off a gleeful celebration at Citi Field that included a whipped cream pie in Davis' face.
The Mets' beleaguered bullpen came through, too. Scott Rice got two outs, and Carlos Torres (1-0) worked a scoreless ninth to give the Mets a chance.
Cueto gave up five hits and two runs. He struck out nine and walked three.
Gee allowed three runs, six hits and a walk in 71/3 innings, striking out four.

The Senate Health, Education and Social Services Committee approved three bills on Monday to increase per-student spending in Alaska K-12 schools.
Committee Chairman Fred Dyson, R-Eagle River, said the issue would likely be settled in the Senate Finance Committee, which is scheduled to take up one of the measures later this week.
House Finance Co-chairman John Harris, R-Valdez, said the $8 million added to the budget earlier this session is likely to increase.
Education officials are appealing to the Legislature to pay for a mandatory hike in state retirement programs that local districts must absorb.
Increases in the Public Employees Retirement System and Teachers Retirement System are expected to cost Alaska public schools $35.7 million in fiscal year 2005.
The budget proposed earlier this session by Gov. Frank Murkowski funded the state Department of Education and Early Development at its current level.
But the price of oil, which accounts for about 84 percent of state revenue, has been higher than expected. With oil prices about $4.75 per barrel above previous estimates, the state could afford about $140 million in additional school funding, said NEA-Alaska President Rich Kronberg.
The bills approved by the Senate Health, Education and Social Services Committee would increase the state's $4,169 per student foundation formula.
Senate Bill 1, sponsored by Senate Finance Co-chair Gary Wilken, R-Fairbanks, would increase the per-pupil amount to $4,263 and would cost about $18.9 million in fiscal 2005.
Senate Bill 14, sponsored by Sens. Wilken and Tom Wagoner, R-Kenai, would increase the foundation formula to $4,500 per student. It would cost the state $66.6 million in fiscal 2005.
Senate Bill 91, sponsored by Sen. Bettye Davis, D-Anchorage, increases the per-pupil spending to $4,600, but also raises per-pupil spending each year based on the increase in inflation.

Last year I had the kernel of an idea for something I could write for the blog about once a week or so, but it was only with some recent inspiration that the idea was fully formed. This is a good thing, because I have a hard time coming up with stuff off the cuff, and if we're talking about baseball news, I'm usually too behind to post anything timely.
So, the inspiration. Earlier this month I was reading a news story about Delmon Young not being able to play for a little while due to turf toe. Somehow, the mental image that I always get when hearing about this type of injury is of a toe that has sadly turned green and is, well, sort of turfy. I knew this had to be wrong, so I called up my good friend Google and read up on the injury, because sure as heck I wasn't going to ask on Twitter or someplace, for fear of looking stupid. I know full well that though I've been watching and attending baseball games for quite a few years, there's a lot of knowledge I just haven't picked up for one reason or another. And if I'm going to look this stuff up anyway, I might as well write about it and share it with you, our good readers. Maybe a few of you will be thankful that I'm filling you in on stuff you are also too embarrassed to ask about, but for the rest of you, perhaps you'll at least get some amusement from my misadventures in educating myself about stuff I should probably already know.
As it turns out, turf toe has nothing to do with the color of any the digits of the foot. Imagine my relief upon reading this! And then my horror, because the information provided by MayoClinic.com here refers to the injury as "tear[ing] the capsule that surrounds the joint at the base of the toe." Essentially it's caused by hyperextending the big toe, which is something I've now added to my really long list of things I never want to do.
I'm hoping to make "KL's WTF" a regular feature here at the Knuckleballs Blog, and while I just might be lacking in knowledge enough to keep it going by myself, if you have any questions you're curious about (or too embarrassed to ask publicly; I'll keep it anonymous if you'd like), just let me know via email or Twitter (see our Contact Us tab above for links) or include it as a comment to this post.

The two most common conditions we treat are congenital ptosis (drooping eyelids) and congenital tear duct obstruction. Congenital ptosis is not usually a cosmetic problem in children, but it can actually cause vision loss if the eye is completely blocked by a drooping eyelid. Tear duct obstruction is even more common. About 5 percent of all infants have an immature tear drainage apparatus and have tearing soon after birth.
Boston Children's is so much more than a hospital—it's a community of researchers, clinicians, administrators, support staff, innovators, teachers, patients and families, all working together to make the impossible possible.

Hoshino Takeo (星野 建夫), better known as Hoshino Kantarō (星野 勘太郎 ), was a professional wrestler and promoter. He was a Japanese-born Korean, whose real name was Yeo Geon-bu (Hangul: 여건부; kanji: 呂建夫).
Japan Pro-Wrestling Association
Hoshino was a boxer in high school years and after graduation, he moved to Tōkyō, hoping to be a professional boxer. However, because of his short reach, he gave up his boxing career. Since he was also a fan of Rikidōzan, he joined the Japan Pro-Wrestling Association (JWA) in 1961/10. He debuted against Koma Atsuhide on 1961/12/22 at Riki Sports Palace.[1]
Hoshino was sent to the United States in 1967/1 with Yamamoto Kotetsu. In April, Hoshino ("Great Yamaha") and Yamamoto ("Toki Yamaha") formed the "Yamaha Brothers", named after the motorcycle brand. Hoshino returned to Japan later in the year.[1]
In 1970, Hoshino teamed with Antonio Inoki to participate in the First NWA Tag Team League, defeating Nick Bockwinkel & John Quinn in the final.[1] Hoshino picked this match as the best bout in his own career.
Hoshino is also remembered as Mil Mascaras' first opponent in Japan when they wrestled on 1971/2/19 at Kōrakuen Hall.
Hoshino went to the United States and Mexico in 1970 and 1973. However, the JWA closed down in 1973 while Hoshino was wrestling in Mexico.[1]
New Japan Pro-Wrestling
Hoshino returned to Japan in 1974/1 and joined New Japan Pro-Wrestling, which had just been founded about ten months ago. Yamamoto Kotetsu was already working for New Japan since its start, and together, Hoshino & Yamamoto revived the famous tag team.
On 1979/1/21, the Yamaha Brothers won the IWA World Tag Team Championship, which was the main tag team title of the International Wrestling Enterprise, from Great Kusatsu & Animal Hamaguchi.
Yamaha Brothers defeated IWE's Gorō Tsurumi & Ōiyama Katsuzō in Yamamoto's retirement match on 1980/4/4.
After Yamamoto's retirement, he was featured in the junior heavyweight division, usually as a tag team partner of the stars such as Fujinami Tatsumi and Tiger Mask. He was also a member of the New Japan team during an interpromotional feud against the UWF wrestlers.
Hoshino had his retirement match against Kido Osamu on 1995/2/19 at Ryōgoku Kokugikan.[1]
After the retirement, Hoshino became a promoter in his hometown of Kōbe.
He returned to the ring in 2002/8 as the non-wrestling leader of Makai Club, a heel group. Even after the group dissolved, Hoshino continue to appear on New Japan cards on an irregular basis.
On 2009/2/4, Hoshino was hospitalized. He suffered a stroke and remained to have a speech disorder.[2]
Hoshino passed away due to pneumonia on 2010/11/25.[3]

The mum of a boy who was hit by a van and airlifted to hospital will walk the Great Wall of China to repay the charity that helped him.
The accident happened when Luca Vukovich was out for an after-school jog in George Street, Berkhamsted just a day after his 10th birthday last June.
Mum Becki had been expecting to pick him up from his childminder's house in nearby Swing Gate Lane and take him to basketball practice.
Instead, she found herself waiting at Luca's side for a helicopter to take him to the trauma unit of the Royal London Hospital.
Becki, 43, said: "I find it incredibly difficult to put into words how I was feeling.
"My husband and I were terrified, as Luca had sustained significant injuries. It is a parent's worst nightmare."
Luca had two broken thighs and a head injury, and since the accident he has had two operations and has had to learn to walk again.
For two months he was in a wheelchair, before walking with the aid of a Zimmer frame, then crutches, then unaided, although he still has a limp.
Previously, the sporty student of Berkhamsted's Thomas Coram School had been a member of TringRugby Club and Kings Langley Tennis Club.
The day before his accident, he had taken part in a 5k run in Battersea Park, London, for Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.
Becki said: "He's doing well with his recovery and he's very, very brave.
"He's adjusted well to his injuries, considering how active he was and how he can't do anything that he could do before."
Luca, who lives with his family in Leighton Buzzard Road, Water End, now has physiotherapy every week and has to return to the Royal London Hospital every six weeks.
Becki said that thanks to the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust, Luca was at the specialist hospital within about 30 minutes of the collision.
But she said: "Up until his accident, I was aware that there were rescue helicopters – but I had no idea that it was a charity and totally self funded.
"They have to pay £5.3m a year to keep two helicopters in the air rescuing people. It costs £2,500 just to rescue one person.
"I want to raise £5,000 to give back the the money it cost to rescue Luca, plus another rescue."
She will walk 13km of the Great Wall of China each day for a week in October to raise the cash in sponsorship money. She will fund the cost of the trip herself.
Meanwhile daughter Francesca, 12, will organise a cake sale at Berkhamsted's Ashlyns School, where she is a pupil.
Dad David, 44, also plans on getting involved in fundraising events.
Becki said: "Without the whole family pulling together and raising the funds, I would not be able to do the trek."
To sponsor them, visit www.justgiving.com/rebecca-Vukovich or text Luca65_ followed by the amount you want to donate to 70700.

From Dawkins I know the Human mind is extremely susceptible to hallucinations. He's a neurosurgeon, he should realize when your neo cortex is deactivated, you have no concept of anything. Besides, someone word of a comatose state is not proof of anything except a vivid imagination.
I know there is no god but let's pretend I don't for a second.
If you go to heaven when you die surely an omnipotent and omniscient god would know he wasn't dead and would not let him into heaven.
Did he even mention St. Peter and the pearly gates or is that religious notion not believed anymore?

Why am I here?
What happened to me demands explanation.
Modern physics tells us that the universe is a unity—that it is undivided. Though we seem to live in a world of separation and difference, physics tells us that beneath the surface, every object and event in the universe is completely woven up with every other object and event. There is no true separation.
Before my experience these ideas were abstractions. Today they are realities. Not only is the universe defined by unity, it is also—I now know—defined by love. The universe as I experienced it in my coma is—I have come to see with both shock and joy—the same one that both Einstein and Jesus were speaking of in their (very) different ways.

As chairman of the Juneau Fluoride Study Commission, I have watched with considerable interest the campaigns about the fluoride ballot issue. The debate has been civil and respectful, but I don't think it has provided voters with the information they need to make an informed decision.
Sound off on the important issues at
The better funded campaign is the one favoring fluoridation. It speaks in generalities and says fluoridation has proven safe and effective for many years. But has it? The commission reviewed hundreds of documents and studies and found the evidence to be much more mixed and equivocal, especially in recent years. I repeatedly asked proponents to provide us with a study that demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of fluoridation, but none was ever identified.
The group opposed to fluoridation raises claims that fluoridation is neither safe nor effective. Many of the papers making that claim are clearly junk science, but some raise serious questions. They raise the questions, but they don't prove the claims.
Faced with this division of authority, the Fluoride Study Commission, after public hearings, extensive independent research, and review of hundreds of documents, decided to wait for the results of a study by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, which was conducting the most comprehensive review of the data on fluoridation ever conducted.
The NRC report was finally released in March 2006. The focus of the study was the effect of fluoride in water at 4 mg/L, the maximum allowable level established by the Environmental Protective Agency in 1986. It found that level to be too high and not adequate to protect the public from harmful levels of fluoride. It also found that EPA's standard of 2 mg/L does not adequately protect against the occurrence of moderate enamel fluorosis, which is shown by brown stains on the teeth.
The EPA report stated that it did not evaluate the risks or benefits of fluoride concentrations of 0.7 to 1.2 mg/L, the levels commonly used in municipal water fluoridation. Juneau was fluoridating its water at the lower end of that range.
Following issuance of the NRC's report, the Juneau commission sent its report to the Juneau Assembly. Three members recommended continuation of water fluoridation. Two members recommended discontinuation of fluoridation because it was unsafe and ineffective. I cast the last vote, and recommended not to continue fluoridation not because it was proven to be unsafe, or not effective, but because the evidence on both points was inconclusive. The ancient maxim for medical practitioners of "first do not harm" seems to require that we not engage in a practice whose benefits and safety are subject to serious question.
Following the Commission's 3-3 vote on whether to continue fluoridation, the Assembly voted 5-4 to discontinue fluoridating our municipal water supply. The debate since then demonstrates that the evidence and public opinion are divided.
The NRC report did not directly analyze the effects of fluoride at the levels used in municipal water fluoridation. But it found data raising serious concerns about the risks of bone fracture, adverse effects on IQ, a risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, a risk of adverse endocrine effects, especially in children, and other health effects. The 2006 NRC report expressed increased concern from what the NRC had said in 1993 about whether fluoride is carcinogenic in humans, finding the literature to be mixed and equivocal. On all of these issues it urged further study.
The need for further study is undisputed. I believe that study should be conducted before we commit to resuming fluoridating our city water. Other programs for topical fluoride are available as an alternative and should be considered. For anyone interested in taking an independent look at these issues, the Juneau Fluoride Study Commission Report and supporting documentation is available at the city clerk's office.
William B. Rozell is a Juneau resident and chair of the Juneau Fluoride Study Commission.

The lions of Copenhagen Zoo
- rachel8, CNN iReport producer
The lions of the Copenhagen Zoo, much debated these days, because four of them have been euthanized to ensure a genetically healthy population for years to come with the introduction of a new young male lion.
The reason for getting a new male lion is that the two young female lions have become sexually mature, and the old male lion, their own father, had started to take an interest in them for mating.
The two cubs would have been killed by the new male lion and because they where to young to fend for themselves, the old female lion would have tried to kill him to protect them.
The Copenhagen Zoo had tried to find another suitable place for the cubs to live within EAZA, a collaboration with over 300 Zoo's across Europe, without luck.

I believe DASL is VERY important to Webdav. Once users use distributed authoring, the first thing they are going to want to do is FIND things on the server!!! We should not let this die, and need to revive it.. Xythos supports DASL already, but to be honest, there has not been a lot of development type of activity on our Sharemation site.

Morning Mates, it's a bright, but chilly morning here in Pictou County, all of 9C or 48F, a bit chilly for my big Yard Sale today!
Fortunately, I set everything up inside the garage in case of rain, but I will have to bundle up to stay out there all day, especially since I am at the beginning stage of a cold. :(
Wishing you all a relaxing weekend and hoping that Fran and Wendell are doing better today.....
Good Morning Cruisemates!
Oh Donna! 48 degrees does sound a wee bit chilly for a yard sale. Let's hope things warm up a bit soon for you.
Judy and Suse, your encouragement means so much to me. Thanks!
The foot is continuing to do well. No issues aside from a little soreness yesterday, but there's no swelling. I was happy when I got a phone call from my Foot Surgeon's "right hand woman" Brenda. It looks like I am now scheduled to have surgery on the other foot Oct. 19th... Yay! I can't believe how excited I am to get this done and over with.
D/H has been working all week in Grand Rapis, MI. He buzzed across the border yesterday to go have dinner and spend the night with his Mom & Dad in Canada. He says he is coming home today... We'll see. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't come home until tomorrow. I am just happy they can all get together. So whatever works.
Well today must be destined to be a great day since I found a matching pair of socks right away and didn't have go digging through the "basket of eternally mismatched socks that have been eaten by the mysterious sock monster that lives in the dryer" for very long.
In a bit I will roust the wee ones. The boy is especially exhausted since night before last he snuck two large bottles of Crystal Light. See, their marketing geniuses do not want parents to know that they are buying drink mixes that are often loaded with caffeine. It is buried in tiny little print on the side of the tiny little box. I figure if they are going to put warning labels on cigarettes, then they should put them on any Crystal Light product that contains caffeine as well. It should read "WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS LARGE AMOUNTS OF CAFFEINE. SHOULD YOUR CHILD INGEST THIS PRODUCT, HE WILL DISPLAY OBNOXIOUS BEHAVIOR, START TO BOUNCE OFF THE WALLS AND WILL REFUSE TO SLEEP ALL NIGHT LONG. HE WILL ALSO WAKE YOU OUT OF A DEAD SLEEP AND WANT YOU JOIN HIM IN BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS AND WILL DISPLAY PARANOID BEHAVIOR AND ANXIETY, CLAIMIMG THERE IS SOMETHING "OUT THERE" AND THERE ARE MONSTERS UNDER HIS BED. THIS BEHAVIOR WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING WHEN THE CHILD WILL CRASH AND BECOME A PATHETIC PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR."
So that's life here in the midwest. Hope you all have a great day.
Good Saturday morning,
First a Happy Birthday to John Lennon who would of turned 70 today.
It looks like summer is back here in the city with a high of 80. Not to much going on here today other then a little yard work. Hope all is well with everyone and have a great day!
Saturday Morning
Good morning from Southern California where it seems to be eternal summer. 90's today for us and all next week, apparently.
Keith has departed for Riverside and the Wright Flyer Project. I may depart for South Coast Plaza (shopping mall) and Macy's later.
Wendell is feeling very down. He has lost a lot of body strength because of being bed ridden, therefore losing all that he gained from months and months of physical therapy. Keith says he grouchy, too, and no wonder!
I look forward to Sunday when we see a play which will open another season at the South Coast Repertory Theater.
Enjoy your Saturday!
Good afternoon from hot and sunny NY . I love Riverside .Its one of my favorite areas of southern california .
I hope all those ailing feel better very soon
Good evening from Virginia Beach where it is a beautiful and balmy sixty-seven degrees. Before Rob and I left for Williamsburg to visit friends, who live there, I hit a few garage sales. We went out to lunch with friends at Ruby Tuesdays and then went to the Prime Outlets. (I had to buy a gift card for our son-in-law, Andy at the Under Armour outlet). Then my girlfriend and I hit a few stores while our husbands followed along for the ride. Then, it was time at their house to chat and then out to dinner at Greensleeves, a great locals place with two locations; one near the College of William and Mary and the other at Newtown; a new upscale restaurant and shopping area. We ate at the Newtown location since this was a home football game at William and Mary. Hope all of my fellow cruisemates enjoyed their day.

My Nikon d40x is roughly three years old and the lens has had to have been repaired twice due to it being dropped. Lens is working fine though now. Yesterday i was getting out my car and the camera fell out my bag, the lens still works fine but now the camera is refusing to take more than 1 photo and saying "card is full". Tried my brothers memory card in it and its doing the same although his memory card works fine with his camera (nikon d60). Someone help!
Time for some "tough love"...suggest you buy one of the new Pentax point-and-shoots that are especially made for people who continually drop their cameras. This one can be dropped from 3 feet and still work. Leave the good DSLRs to the rest of us. ... Nikon D40x Digital Camera

Hi I am sorry but anything 10.8 and above is not compatible with ET.
You can call apple and order Lion 10.7 or I would suggest bootcamp and run Windows on your mac when you want to play ET.
I wish Gubbi was still here he could explain that it has something to do with file paths.
Posted 13 September 2014 - 11:08 AM
Since apparently no one else is going to post a way to play, I will. Currently play a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Annoying as shit that they got rid of PowerPC app compatibility but who cares you probably don't even know wtf I'm talking bout.
Anyways two solutions, I will tell you both and give you links.
1. Bootcamp your Mac OSX computer and partition a Windows OS on your HD
-Pretty much exactly what I said, lrn2google. You will need a copy of whatever version you want of windows and a little bit of above basic computer knowledge.
2. Run ETLegacy
-Probably easiest solution: http://etlegacy.com/ I will assume you can ready install instructions on their website, I know I + DingDongWang can confirm it works on Mac OSX
PS. My suggestion is bootcamp, frankly having the ability to switch back and forth between OS' makes me very happy, I can run literally any program this way. Also Windows OS is pretty awesome.
Posted 30 September 2014 - 09:40 AM
Removing Rosetta did not break the Mac client as it's an Intel application. Apple removed Open Transport in 10.9. I just wanted to verify that the ET Legacy client does work. You simply have to install the normal 2.60d client and move pak0.pk3, pak1.pk3, and pak2.pk3 from etmain to the ET:L etmain. A picture guide can be found here.

Warriors guard C.J. Watson had the five stitches removed from his right index finger Saturday, and he decided he was healthy enough to play.
About 1 1/2 hours before the game against Phoenix, Watson said he was aiming to return Tuesday. After testing his hand during pregame drills, he decided to give it a go.
Watson is averaging eight points and 2.3 assists this season, and he missed four games after being cut by Dwyane Wade on Jan. 13. His availability is important to the Warriors since they are playing without Monta Ellis (ankle) and have Stephen Curry as the only other true guard among the healthy roster.

The paper presents a probabilistic-based methodology for the assessment of a pipeline containing internal corrosion defects. Two different models have been used to predict the future CO2 corrosion rates namely a linear growth and the deWaard-Milliams models. A probabilistic approach is used to analyse the behaviour of corrosion data obtained from in-line intelligent (ILI) pigging inspections. The outcomes are parameters represented by their corresponding statistical distribution. Due to the availability of these statistical parameters, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to calculate the probability of failure of the pipeline due to bursting failure. The existence of corrosion may reduce the maximum capacity of the pipe, as such causing leakage and bursting when the operational pressure supersedes its threshold. From the analysis of the result, failure probability based on theoretical linear growth model exhibit slightly longer lifetime of the pipeline with three years interval compared to deWaard-Milliams model. This is due to higher mean value of corrosion growth rate estimated using the empirical deWaard-Milliams model. Both results are very useful in prolonging the lifetime of pipelines by having knowledge of the past to schedule the future maintenance work.

Jennifer - posted on 09/13/2010 ( 18 moms have responded )
Ok, editing the original post. But still the same question. My ex has married the woman that feel was a big part in the break up of our marriage...she was an affair that I subsequently divorced him for. He married her one short year after our divorce and as soon as he married her, they told the children it was ok to call her mom now. This was told to my children without any discussion with me prior or even after the fact. I have told both of them that it is disrespectful to me and that i have no problem with them coming up with a fun name the kids can call her. They will not discuss the issue and say that they have decided to just let the children decide what to call her. Well sure, you have already told them what to call her! The kids were 5,7 and 9 at the time. My 9 year old makes a point to tell me that he does not call her Mom (in fact, he is the one that told me in the first place) when I asked him why he doesn't, he said because he knew it would hurt my feelings and that I am his mom, she isn't. I don't know how to handle this, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A Visual Primer On Airplane Etiquette
Here are 14 photo illustrations from Australia of jerk-like behavior on airplanes, for those of you who aren't creeped out by the weird "lets use clones" art direction of the piece. The weirdest tip is that it's apparently okay to kick your fellow passenger in the crotch if you're certain you can do it without waking him up, but hey, that's Australia for you.

Will artificial intelligence be threat to human society?
South Korea's Lee Sedol finally broke the myth of AlphaGo, the computer created by DeepMind, after losing three consecutive matches, rallying to win himself and humanity some dignity to beat the Google Artificial Intelligence (AI) program in Game 4 of five-game human vs. machine Go-chess showdown on Sunday. (Xinhua file photo) by Gregory Dimopoulos SYDNEY, March 15 (Xinhua) — Google supercomputer AlphaGo outsmarted South Korean Go champion Lee Sedol, winning 4-1 in the best of five game series that came to an end on Tuesday, as people begin to wonder whether the ever-changing world of artificial intelligence (AI) will one day pose a threat to the human society.

Here, You Fix the Budget
By next Wednesday, a group of politicians dubbed the "supercommittee" has to come up with a plan to slash federal deficits by at least $1.2 trillion over the next decade. If they don't, or if Congress rejects their plan, an automatic sequester cuts deficits by $1.2 trillion over eight years, split evenly between defense and non-defense spending cuts.
Some are holding out for a megadeal that cuts deficits by as much as $4 trillion over a decade. Others are less optimistic -- maybe more realistic -- and don't expect the supercommittee to reach an agreement at all.
But why wait for them? Here's a simple question: How would you fix the budget?
The Congressional Budget Office forecasts deficits out to 2022, but so much guesswork goes into 10-year forecasts that their significance is questionable. The Office of Budget and Management, however, forecasts specific line items of the federal budget going out to 2016 -- probably as far out as you can realistically project. The figures are still reliant on assumptions, but they're a decent estimate of future spending based on current law. Have a look:
Source: Office of Budget and Management.
Those are the numbers. How would you fix them? A few things to keep in mind before you make your changes: First, the most bloated areas of the budget are also the most popular with voters. According to the Tax Policy Center:
Three-quarters of Americans believe that entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security "will create major economic problems" over the next 25 years. But two-thirds are opposed to addressing these challenges by reducing benefits, and 56 percent are against raising taxes.
In other words, voters have a strong message for their politicians: Entitlements are going to wreck the budget, but don't you dare touch them.
Then there's defense. One of the biggest obstacles to making cuts at the Pentagon is how concentrated the defense industry has become. Just five companies -- Lockheed Martin (NYS: LMT) , Boeing (NYS: BA) , Northrop Grumman (NYS: NOC) , General Dynamics (NYS: GD) , and Raytheon (NYS: RTN) -- have defense contracts worth more than $100 billion. As New York Times columnist Joe Nocera wrote, "the Pentagon simply can't allow them get into serious financial difficulty; there are just too few of them." Furthermore, these five spent more than $60 million lobbying in 2009. The result: When the Pentagon does find the will to make cuts, the savings usually find their way back into other defense projects. Last year, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced he was cutting $100 billion in waste out of the defense budget but that almost all the cuts would be reinvested into "higher priority systems." Net impact on the federal budget: nil.
Finally, tax revenue is expected to be a healthy 19.3% of GDP by 2016 -- about what it was in the late 1990s -- but that relies on two assumptions: that all of the 2001/2003 tax cuts will be allowed to expire, and that the unemployment rate will drop to around 5%. Both are unlikely. For the unemployment rate to hit 5% by 2016, we'd need to add roughly 500,000 jobs a month going forward, compared with 150,000 a month so far this year. The odds are high that tax revenue will be lower, and hence deficits larger, than these forecasts show.
Those are a few constraints, but don't let them hold you back. How would you make the budget more efficient and sustainable? Tell us your plans in the comment section below.

Only kids ask us this question. But maybe you have wondered too.
No. We do not live with wild animals (unless you count two toddlers). There are 5 million people in this city so I'm guessing the wild animals probably got scared off.
On a daily basis, I see our two dogs. I also see cows, goats, and lots of chickens milling about our neighborhood.
Daily there are geckos on the walls in my house, but they eat the mosquitoes, so I don't mind. There is currently a yellow tree frog living in our toilet that we can't manage to catch. Sometimes I see large cockroaches, which then receive a very large dosage of insect spray. Sometimes we see other large, interesting bugs, but not in my house. Occasionally we see snakes in our yard, but the dogs always kill them. Probably the craziest thing I have seen in my yard was a 4 foot long monitor lizard.
However, Tanzania is home to multiple game reserves which are amazingly awesome to visit. We have been to five of them; the closest is about a four hour drive from here. The Serengeti is in Tanzania, which is probably the most well-known game reserve, and home of The Lion King.
Come visit us and we'll take you there!

Our 200 Best Small Companies held up pretty well during a tempest-tossed year of continued economic weakness and market upheaval. Average sales growth over the past 12 months pushed up 17%, and earnings rose 23%--pretty buoyant results compared with average increases over a five-year period, 25% and 31%, respectively. You needn't look far for casualties: A raft of technology, energy and consumer companies fell off the list.
The criteria we use to screen candidates is tough. With the help of William O'Neil & Co. in Los Angeles, FORBES statistician Lesley Kump and programmer Vadim Parfilko, we looked only at public companies with latest-12-month sales of $5 million to $600 million, a stock price above $5 per share and five-year average return on equity of at least 5%. Growth notwithstanding, profitability was a must--every nominee had to earn a net margin of at least 5%, excluding extraordinary and nonrecurring items. A new feature this year: relative stock price strength. The idea was to help us flag companies that were doing particularly well or poorly relative to their peers and the market indexes.
A few industries did well--the usual suspects in turbulent times. Health-care-related companies, for example, make up 25% of the list, up from 17% last year. Retail and apparel showed continued strength (7.5% of the total, versus 9.5% last year), led by Chico's (ranked number one for the second year), Christopher & Banks (7) and Hot Topic (12). Food and restaurants account for 7.5% of this year's list, 6% last year. But technology slipped from 16% of the total last year to a current 12.5%.
As usual, some passed the initial screen but didn't make the final cut. Consumer electronics retailer Rex Stores, for example, didn't hold up after our analysis found that earnings get a big boost from nonoperating items. World Wrestling Entertainment didn't make the cut, thanks to a 56% decline in earnings over the past 12 months and a sexual harassment suit by a female wrestler.
Conversely, others that at first blush seemed doubtful found a place on the list. Curative Health (164) had negative growth rates for both sales and earnings on a five-year basis but has shown strong increases over the last 12 months, suggesting better days ahead. Here's a surprise: Martha Stewart Living (167). Forget the terrible press and pummeling of the stock; the company still has moderately good sales and earnings growth, zero debt and a healthy return on equity--at least for now.
It's important to keep in mind that the 200 Best list is a compilation of financially strong small-cap businesses. It isn't a bid sheet for stocks. Given the inherent volatility of such companies, a few caveats are in order, neatly packaged on page 256. For a sense of entrepreneurial travails and triumphs, read the profiles of Charles River Laboratories (p. 228), Corinthian Colleges (p.
) and Sonic (p. 246).

I cannot get my laptop's fan to start.
I have an HP Pavilion N5310 running Xubuntu 9.4 2.6.28-16-generic.
The BIOS is updated to the latest version.
acpi=force provides an entry at /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state which is always off.
Edit: Writing "echo 0 > /cat/proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state" changes the fan state to "ON" but the fan is manifestly not on. (In addition to producing no noise, it can be viewed through the grill and is not spinning.)
Originally /proc/thermal_zones/*/trip_points produced
critical (S5): 100 C
passive: 98 C: tc1=2 tc2=5 tsp=300 devices=CPU0
active[0]: 100 C: devices= FAN
Which was obviously nonsense, so I edited my dsdt with more sane values, (If you do this, anyone else, the temperatures are in tenths of degrees kelvin, just in case, I don't know, you want your fan to come on when the cpu reaches -200 Celsius.) which are now showing up in /proc/etc. but do not result in the fan coming on, even when trip_points are reached. (Passive cooling is not working either, so far as I can tell, but really, it's the fan that worries me.)
Booting with the Knoppix install CD does not provide a working fan.
I've reached the end of my googling. Is it possible that the kernel has misidentified which device is actually the fan? Is there anyone with any suggestion at all, really?
Supposedly the fan worked when it was running Windows.

Former Juneau resident Tom Leslie died Jan. 19, 2007, in Port Angeles, Wash. He was 78.
Sound off on the important issues at
He was born May 28, 1928, in Napa Valley, Calif. During the Korean War, he served in the U.S. Army as a radioman.
He moved from California to Juneau in 1976 and lived here until retiring to Washington in 1986.
According to his family, he loved sailing his boat, tinkering with model trains and doing the "sweeps" on his laptop.
"He was always working on a project around the house and was a masterful jack-of-all-trades," said his daughter.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Lowena Leslie; first wife, Margaret Elizabeth; second wife, Earlyne Catherine; and son, Tom Leslie Jr.
He is survived by his wife, Joyce Leslie; daughters, Mary Leslie and her partner, David Macal, Sandy Nelson and her husband, Bob, and Peggy Leslie; brother, John Leslie and his wife, Sylvia; stepchildren, Beri Morris, Rick Boyce and his wife, Barb, Dale Ross and his wife, Lisa, Steve Boyce, Cindi Dudley and her husband, Clint, and Amy Osaki and her husband, John; and grandchildren, Tyler Ross, Heidi Osaki and Amanda Leslie.
No services will be held at this time. The family will gather for a memorial in the spring and scatter his ashes over the water at that time.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.
