HACKING MASS Home |
Browse Players |
Browse Teams |
All-Stars |
HACKING MASS is a contest to try and predict the worst/most offensive players in the upcoming season. HACKING MASS stands for Huckabay's Annual Call to Keep Immobility Next to Godliness: Maximus Aggregatus Stiffisimus Sensire.
A few important changes are being made to the traditional HACKING MASS setup for the coming season.
Your ten players will be:
Simply pick the players who you think will be the stiffest at each position. A team's aggregate stiffness is measured by summing the ESPN (Exuded Stiff Points, Net) of all of the players on your team. For hitters, ESPN is 0.800, minus his OBP, minus his SLG, and multiplied by plate appearances - i.e., (.8-OPS)*PA. For pitchers, the formula is the pitcher's ERA, minus 4.5, times his innings pitched, divided by three, or (ERA-4.5)*IP/3. This results in similar Stiffness scores for the firmest hitters and pitchers.
In each case, it isn't enough for a player to simply suck; somehow the Stiffest of the Stiff must find a way to remain in the lineup or rotation. Possession of incriminating photos of managers and GMs, telekinesis of ink onto lineup cards, large contracts that need justification, and ties to the underworld can all be important attributes of your players besides their lack of hitting and pitching talent.
* In previous years, we awarded the winner $500. We're ratcheting that down in order to avoid needing to report the victorious team to the IRS. We don't like asking you for your Social Security number any more than you like providing it. To those who suspect penury instead of laziness, we plan on introducing another game in-season with a similar prize... more on that later.
** One entry per person. In case of a tie, first prize will be divided equally among winners. Photo and signature may be a "preprinted" reproduction, whatever that means, and in case we have trouble running down the photo we'll sub in an item of similar value. You'll get the $399 either way, of course.

Can non-clan members have sigs in their forum posts?
Posted 04 November 2013 - 06:32 PM
Posted 04 November 2013 - 06:40 PM
Yes they can. Click on the dropdown box that has your name on the navigation bar, and click "My settings", then click the "Signature" tab.
I'd upload the image to your gallery, and then add it to your signature by means of "My Media". |
Good luck, and have fun!

I followed all the steps but there is no "Signature tab". I uploaded it to a personal gallery and I will leave it there for the time being. Any ideas?
Posted 04 November 2013 - 08:12 PM
Hmmm... I was able to have a signature before I had any admin level set... I take it you went to this screen here? http://www.mediafire...sigsettings.JPG
Posted 04 November 2013 - 09:08 PM
Yeah, I sure did... No joy, the option isn't available. It's all good though...
Posted 05 November 2013 - 02:35 AM
Hmm... I'd wait a day or two for a higher admin or someone with more experience to post a response. If there's nobody who helps you within 3 days, create a topic on the tracker here: http://fearless-assa...-website-forum/
Just a quick heads up: The tracker is kind of an "emergency call" for high admins indicating that there is a problem. Some things need to go through the tracker to get fixed however, so don't be afraid of it- just don't abuse it.
Good luck!
Posted 05 November 2013 - 11:04 AM
I didn't have a sig box until full member.
Posted 05 November 2013 - 01:02 PM
Not sure. I do not have a signature, but I know the option is available through: Click ur name on top of page > My settings > should be the 4th from above on the left side of the screens with the tabs.
Cannot recall if that also was for non clan-members, but Xernicus and me both are trial members.
Posted 05 November 2013 - 01:29 PM
I had a signature before I was accepted as trial, so that's why I don't think it's admin specific... I can't remember if I had a sig before I got set to level 3 though... It could be server regular and up.
Posted 05 November 2013 - 05:40 PM
Hmmm... Well I will wait my turn I guess.

9/10/2017 – Hi, I've just been diagnosed with gougerot-sj?gren, extremely dry eyes with corneal ulcers and frequent keratitis. I live in France and moisture chambers or eye protecting glasses are not common. I cannot find any dealers in France to try out glasses. I have a rather large oval face, need preferably prescription glasses (-4,5 min). Rather not see than be in pain, so if I cannot get prescription lenses, it almost doesn't matter to me. Any recommendations ? I've been strolling through your website and don't understand what Asian fit means. At last, how often must I change the removable seal ? (I don't wear makeup but often have ointment). Thank you very much for your answer, best regards from too sunny Paris ! Alice
12/8/2016 – any suggestion for glasses for my dry eyes as I am a small sized skinny asian with quite a flat nose. thanks.
9/2/2016 – Can I return glasses if they don't fit?
1/1/2016 – I am considering the Briza Airshield (polarized) for outdoor use. I'm pretty sensitive to sunlight, would the gray or copper lens be better. I like the looks of the copper/tortoise combination a lot more, but I want to be sure it's dark enough for comfort as well. Thank you, Sallie
3/19/2015 – I have Sjögren's severe dry eye,(photophobia)80% of the time.My eyes, and skin sensative. Iam small only 102 lbs Don't want anymore unsitely goggles.What to use for driving and all other with exception of reading.

What does darpa mean?
Definitions for darpa
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word darpa.
Princeton's WordNet
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA(noun)
the central research and development organization for the United States Department of Defense; responsible for developing new surveillance technologies since 9/11
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technologies for use by the military. DARPA has been responsible for funding the development of many technologies which have had a major effect on the world, including computer networking, as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface. DARPA began as the Advanced Research Projects Agency created in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower for the purpose of forming and executing research and development projects to expand the frontiers of technology and science and able to reach far beyond immediate military requirements. The administration was responding to the Soviet launching of Sputnik 1 in 1957, and ARPA's mission was to ensure U.S. military technology be more sophisticated than that of the nation's potential enemies. From DARPA's own introduction, DARPA's original mission, established in 1958, was to prevent technological surprise like the launch of Sputnik, which signaled that the Soviets had beaten the U.S. into space. The mission statement has evolved over time. Today, DARPA's mission is still to prevent technological surprise to the US, but also to create technological surprise for our enemies.

Sample Sentences & Example Usage
Small satellites in the ALASA payload class represent the fastest-growing segment of the space launch market, dARPA expects this growth trend to continue as small satellites become increasingly more capable.
Chief Executive Marillyn Hewson:
I think it is absolutely the right time to be investing in it and the fact that DARPA has already got projects going on... indicates that as they are looking out into the future it is a capability that we need.
True to DARPA's mission, EXACTO has demonstrated what was once thought impossible: the continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target, this live-fire demonstration from a standard rifle showed that EXACTO is able to hit moving and evading targets with extreme accuracy at sniper ranges unachievable with traditional rounds. Fitting EXACTO's guidance capabilities into a small .50-caliber size is a major breakthrough and opens the door to what could be possible in future guided projectiles across all calibers.

UPDATE: Major League Baseball is negotiating with prospective Astros owner Jim Crane over the compensation it would take to agree to move the team to the American League.
* * * * * * * *
Jim Crane is looking to cut $50 million from his purchase price of the Houston Astros for switching the team to the American League, according to the New York Post.
Crane reached a deal in May to buy the Astros from Drayton McLane for $680 million.
Baseball has interest in moving the Astros from the National League to the American League.
Wrote the Post:
On that front, the two sides are in the "ballpark" on the price, although a deal is far from certain, sources said.
Crane argues the move to the AL would hurt the value of the franchise because the Astros would be playing more late-night games against West Coast teams. For commissioner Bud Selig's part, the switch would foster a rivalry between the Astros and the Texas Rangers.

Through the Storms and Rains
In Response To: Cotton Field on Mile Lane Road ()
"Through the Storms and Rains"
When I rise in the morning the dew is still on the grass on Mile Lane Road. Someone in the family told us that it was unhealthy to walk barefoot on the grass when the dew is out, especially when you had a sore or a cut on your leg or foot. The dew may infect you sore. I don't know if that was true, but back then, I believed whatever our elders told us. As I think about it today, I have to laugh about some of the "tales" they told us.
Boom! Bang! Rumble! Tap! Tap! Crack! Those are some of the many sounds I heard on Mile Lane Road when a storm was brewing. We had many stormy days and nights on Mile Lane Road. Our house had a tin roof and it was the most gracious sound you could ever hear. As I close my eyes now, I try to take myself back to hear that sound. When it rained during the day you almost wanted to go take a nap just to hear the sound. You could tell when the rain was coming. Yes, you could smell it. You smelled it even before the first drop hit the ground. Many manufacturers have tried to duplicate the smell through air fresheners, fabric softeners and many other fragranced mixtures. That smell can not be duplicated and that smell is totally different in the country than it would be in the city. Back then you could hang your freshly washed clothes on the line and when you brought them in you had the most magnificent smell ever. You couldn't wait to get those fleshly cleaned sheets on your bed.
Our house had a ditch in the front near the road. When it rained, the ditch would get filled up with water and it would last for a couple of days. Sometimes we could see crayfish after a rain. I only recall seeing minnow fish. We saw many turtles that became our pets. The ditch seemed to be really deep when we were growing up. I recall how we always tried to jump from one side to the other and sometimes we didn't always make it. I drove by that ditch last summer and it only seems like just a little scoop.
Playing in the rain and the after rain was one of our pastimes. We didn't worry about getting our hair messed up. We only worried about our hair on Saturday nights when we were preparing for church on Sunday. I remember when my Mom told me that I could no longer play barefooted in the rain. When a young girl got her big "P" Day there were many things that she could no longer do. The word was that the rain would make you have cramps. Cramps or no cramps, I still wanted to go barefooted in the after rain water.
Sometimes the rain came with storms. I remember my sister's grandfather going outside and taking an ax and splitting a piece of wood. If I can remember correctly, it was supposed to "split the storm." I don't know if it did or didn't. I just know that eventually the storm was over.
Any typical night we could have a thunder and lightening storm. My mom would wake us all up out of our sleep. We would all pile in the car and then drive about a mile to my great grandmother's house and sleep until early morning. We would have to get up
I still do not know why we always went to her house. Can you imagine, waking up in the wee hours, getting in the car (pajamas and all) and the family driving through the storm just to get to her house? Can you image six folks going down a country road in a little green Comet car in the midst of a brewing storm? We didn't have a phone, but when we got to her house, the light was on waiting for us. We all knew the routine and went to our sleeping quarters. This happened with just about every storm that came with thunder and lightening.
Sometimes we collected the rain water and we used it to wash our hair in. I remember those hair washing days. I hated them. Sometimes I wonder how our hair survived. We didn't always have shampoo to wash it in. I think we used whatever gave us a lather. Don't even mention conditioners. We had them sometimes, and when we did, it was a luxury.
Through the storms and the rains, I remember a few tornadoes. We could see them from a distance, but we never seemed to get any damage from them. They always seem to pass over our house. Those times were the more frightening times.
As I look at the last photo that I took of the old "homestead" before they demolished it, I can see that throughout the years the tin roof rusted. That roof carried the sweetest sound. The closest I have heard of the sound is when rain is hitting on metal awnings, but nothing can duplicate the sound that the rain made hitting on the roof of the house on Mile Lane Road. The storms came with thunder and lighting, but they also came with that sweet sound on the roof. My mom got her roof replaced last year and looked into getting a tin roof, but most of the installers could not guarantee that the holes drilled during the actual installation would withstand the weather. So, she opted to stick with the traditional roof.
When the storms came, we had to unplug every electrical item in our house. We were not even allowed to keep a watch on our arm. Once a storm came and struck our television before we got a chance to unplug it. So, there we were sitting in the dark scared to death and not able to speak a word. We saw many rainbows back then.
As I close my eyes, I hear, Boom! Bang! Rumble! Tap! Tap! Crack! Umm, seems like another storm is brewing. Will we be off to great grandma's house, or will be sitting in the dark not making a sound. Now I hear another sound. Yes, the sound of rain on the tin roof. It looks like we're winging this one at home. Well, I think I'll just lie down right now and take a nap to capture the sweet, sweet sound of the rain on the tin roof. Wake me up when it's over…….

Kill the Bill: The "Stop Online Piracy Act" and Why It Matters
by: Max Coleman on January 18th, 2012 | 2 Comments »
I'm fairly certain that, as you read this sentence, you match a certain demographic. In fact, I can say with 100 percent confidence that you do. You are an Internet user and, by virtue of this fact, should be filled with tremendous outrage at the legislation that is set to pass in Congress.
The "Stop Online Piracy Act" (HR 3261), introduced in October, empowers copyright holders to seek punitive action when their material is reproduced online. Fair enough. But like much of the cleverly-worded legislation presented to Congress, this bill's title is hardly reflective of its likely pernicious effect. (Remember Bush's "Clean Air Act"?) What SOPA really amounts to is a destabilization of the Internet by corporate entities.
If this bill passes, the Department of Justice will not only be able to block access to offending content, but could also ban sites that link to such content. Search engines like Google – which links to and caches billions of websites – would be especially at risk. Tech blog Gizmodo writes:
The beating heart of SOPA is the ability of intellectual property owners (read: movie studios and record labels) to effectively pull the plug on foreign sites against whom they have a copyright claim. If Warner Bros., for example, says that a site in Italy is torrenting a copy of The Dark Knight, the studio could demand that Google remove that site from its search results, that PayPal no longer accept payments to or from that site, that ad services pull all ads and finances from it, and – most dangerously – that the site's ISP prevent people from even going there.
One of the most striking aspects of the bill is the tension it creates between managers and users of community-based sites. In order that they not risk shutdown, site owners must constantly monitor their users in search of rogue content. Photo- and video-hosting sites like Flickr and Youtube, social platforms like Ning, and even major social networks like Facebook and Twitter would be forced to turn against their members to protect their own well-being. This means deleting user accounts without warning and without apology, whether or not those users have actually violated copyright law. Not only is the deletion of legitimate accounts a likely outcome of SOPA, but it is provided for in the bill itself. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
Another dangerous provision … is the "vigilante" provision, which would grant broad immunity to all service providers if they overblock innocent users or block sites voluntarily with no judicial oversight at all. The standard for immunity is incredibly low and the potential for abuse is off the charts. Intermediaries only need to act "in good faith" and base their decision "on credible evidence" to receive immunity.
As we noted months ago, this provision would allow the MPAA and RIAA to create literal blacklists of sites they want censored. Intermediaries will find themselves under pressure to act to avoid court orders, creating a vehicle for corporations to censor sites – even those in the U.S. – without any legal oversight. And as Public Knowledge has pointed out, not only can this provision be used for bogus copyright claims that are protected by fair use, but large corporations can take advantage of it to stamp out emerging competitors and skirt anti-trust laws.
Although not explicitly laid out in the language of the bill, SOPA promises to curtail online activism, both in the United States and abroad. The Electronic Frontier Foundation warns that proxy servers – which allow users to circumvent blocked domain names – would likely be banned. But it is precisely because of these servers that savvy technophiles in China, Egypt, and Iran are able to express anti-government sentiment and organize collective action.
Suppose that one day, the U.S. government decides that it wants to conceal its support for the atrocities committed in East Timor. (This is certainly possible – even today, few know of our involvement and the government has had little to say on the subject.) After making some counterfeit claim about intellectual property, the Department of Justice censors all material on the subject. With proxy servers also banned, Americans no longer have access to the truth. And similar atrocities can be perpetrated because the historical record has been wiped clean.
I give this example not because I hope to frighten you with Orwellian conspiracies, but because I want you to wake up. This grave and catastrophizing language is necessary because SOPA is both grave and catastrophic. And yet, along with the Senate's "Protect IP Act" (PIPA), SOPA is very likely to pass unless you do something about it.
Fortunately, the activism around SOPA and PIPA in the past few days has been truly inspiring. Hundreds of companies, including Facebook, Twitter, and Google have spoken out against these bills. And more than 7000 websites are "going dark" today to raise awareness about the legislation, including, most notably, Wikipedia, Mozilla, Reddit, and MoveOn.org. Even WordPress is getting involved. And be sure to check out Google's homepage.
To contact your representatives about this horrifying piece of legislation, just head to Wikipedia or visit the SopaStrike homepage. And most importantly – share this information with friends and make sure they get involved. The future of the Internet depends on it.

SAN DIEGO – Let's get this out of the way first: Ladarius Green may be Antonio Gates' understudy, and he will get the first shot at replacing Gates for the first four games of the Chargers' season, thanks to the failed PED test that resulted in the star tight end's suspension.
But Green, a fourth-year tight end from Louisiana Lafayette who has caught a career total of 40 passes in his NFL career, is not Antonio Gates. Not close. Not yet.
And the best piece of advice he has received, en route to his own shot at a star turn, has been to be himself.
From guess who.
"Gates is like my big brother, my mentor," Green said. "He lets me know when I mess up on something. He tells me what he would have done. He's telling me to calm down, play my game, so he's always been a help to me.
"He told me, don't go out there and try to be him or be somebody else. Just be myself."
Green, 6-foot-6 and 240, is almost more of a big wide receiver than a classic tight end, and the Chargers may use him in different ways. During the 11-on-11 portion of Monday's training camp workout, there were times Green would line up in the slot, and other times he would be in a three-point stance.
Last season, when Green caught 19 balls out of 23 thrown to him and averaged 11.9 yards a catch — ironically, the same as Gates — was his best numerically as a pro. The year before he had the only three touchdown catches of his career.
His reputation is as a decent if not spectacular blocker, and as a receiver who is dangerous when open but who tends to occasionally get jostled out of position coming off the line, in contrast to Gates' talent for eluding contact at the line and getting open.
Interestingly, Green said he's not getting any more practice reps in this camp than he has in the past. Considering the importance of getting him on the same page with quarterback Philip Rivers, that seems strange. Then again, Gates is still around, and there are also six other tight ends in camp, so the opportunities are somewhat limited.
As the herd is culled and the regular season nears, you can assume Green will receive more chances.
"He's going to have an opportunity early on to do a few more things," Coach Mike McCoy told ESPN.com's Eric Williams earlier in camp. "We think very highly of him. We thought that the first year … The system is staying the same, and we're looking forward to seeing him play more."
How many players are there who struggle for a couple of years and then, seemingly, get it all of a sudden?
The hidden back story is that, often, it's not that sudden.
In Green's case, he came from a program of modest pedigree. Lafayette's Ragin' Cajuns were 24-25 in his four seasons and didn't reach the New Orleans Bowl until his senior year, 2011. He emerged his last two seasons: 44 catches for 794 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior, 51 catches for 606 yards and eight scores as a senior, prompting A.J. Smith to use a fourth-round pick on him in 2012.
The difference between Green then and Green now?
"Big difference," he said. "In college I didn't have to sit down and watch film all the time. I just went out there and played.
"But now everybody's good. Everybody's out there. It's an amazing place, so you need to get a little edge when you can, whether it takes more film, more workouts, something. It's been a big change."
The temptation, of course, is to take that "little edge" comment and run with it, considering the situation that gave Green this opportunity in the first place. No, we will not go there.
But becoming a professional has changed the way Green has approached the game. He has adjusted his diet — "I used to always eat pizza all the time, and that's not too good for you," he said — and he is watching film in a more sophisticated manner, again courtesy of guess who.
"He taught me how to watch film," Green said, referring to Gates. "There's certain things to watch for: what the defensive back does, what the linebacker does on certain formations, certain stuff I didn't even pick up until he told me."
That's the part of an education of a football player we don't see. And it's the part that often leads to the sudden breakout, when the light comes on and a player turns potential into performance.
For the first quarter of the season, at least, the Chargers are banking on it.

Email Nick Pearce with your Formula One observations
15.09 Well, that's all we have time for today. Thanks for joining me and please have a look at the race report. Good afternoon.
14.55 Sebastian Vettel has been on the podium to praise Sebastian Vettel for another quality race. Tipped his hat to his staff, too.
14.45 An observation from the Associated Press:
14.43 Vettel looks pleased with that. The man knows how to win:
14.41 Here's your top 10: Vettel, Raikkonen, Grosjean, Di Resta, Hamilton, Perez, Webber, Alonso, Rosberg and Button.
FINAL LAP Vettel on his way to victory here. "Just stay under control," comes the orders. Can he resist the temptation to show off? Oh, Hamilton's done Webber on the inside. That'll be fifth for Mercedes then. Anyway, back to the action, up the top of the grid.....And Sebastian Vettel wins the Bahrain Grand Prix!
Lap 55 Webber v Hamilton: Act Two. It's excellent action....and has Hamilton squeezed past him on the inside? NO! Muscular work from Webber, who defiantly holds onto fifth place.
Lap 53 Brief flutter of British excitement as Hamilton passes Webber for fifth place before quickly relinquishing it again.
Lap 52 GROSJEAN OVERTAKES DI RESTA! Argh, what a shame. The Frenchman uses all his cunning and speed to overtake Di Resta on the inside.
Lap 51 Got to love national pride. Here we are absolutely gripped over the battle third place. It's what being British in the 21st century is about. Third place! Woo!
Lap 50 Just 2.2sec between Britain's Paul Di Resta and Grosjean. Seven laps left for us to find out whether he can hold on for a first podium place.
Lap 48 Grosjean is closing the gap on Di Resta. That battle for the last place on the podium is going to go right down to the wire.
Lap 47 A reminder that the drivers started today's Grand Prix without cockpit warning lights for the fourth race in a row following ongoing problems with the system. An FIA statement said there would be no red, yellow or blue cockpit lights and there were also implications for when the safety car had to be deployed.
Lap 46 Vettel's lead cut down to around nine seconds. Surely not? Haha, I joke. Eleven laps to go.
Lap 44 It's looking like Vettel, Raikkonen, Di Resta top three but Grosjean, with the medium compound tyres and six seconds behind, is by no means out of this.
Lap 43 Now then! Di Resta back into third and looking good. Can he make the podium for a first time?
Lap 41 Vettel has a 27 second-ish lead over Grosjean, who is three or so ahead of Raikkonen.
Lap 40 Ah ha. We will have an investigation after some contact between the below men on turn two a couple of laps ago:
Lap 39 Top five currently: Vettel, Grosjean, Hamilton, Raikkonen and Perez.
Lap 37 Now then! We have a new fastest lap of the Grand Prix.....And it's Raikkonen with 1.38.591. He's fifth after pitting for some hard tyres.
Lap 36 "Strategy is looking good," says the Lotus team radio to Raikkonen in response to some muffled questions about tyres.
Lap 34 Now then! Di Resta and Raikkonen fighting it out for second. Aaaand it's the Lotus into the second! He speeds past PDR and in the end it was easily done by Raikkonen, who is 18 seconds-ish from Vettel.
Lap 33 Quick clip of Jenson Button on the radio just then. Very muffled but he sounded irked to say the least.
Lap 32 Latest from Oliver Brown whose job it is to fly around the world and report on inter-team rivalries:
Dear oh dear. Now McLarens at war! Perez clipping back of Button, damaged front wing...
Lap 31 Top five: Vettel (12sec-ish lead), Di Resta (an ever-diminishing two-second lead), Raikkonen, Webber, Button.
Lap 30 The two McLarens go side-to-side fighting for superiority. And they clash, I think! They must have touched! Dangerous stuff but exciting to see two team-mates taking each other on. Martin Whitmarsh looks on like an unimpressed father.
Lap 29 Best news of the day so far: METALLICA ARE IN THE MCLAREN GARAGE!
Lap 28 McLaren pair Button and Perez's head-to-head is hotting up. The Brit is in the lead as it stands, completing a decent day for Brits with Di Resta still in second.
Lap 27 Di Resta back into second place as he continues to fight for what would be Force India's first podium place in, like, for-eveeeerrrrr.
Lap 25 Vettel pits and comes out with the hard tyres on. He did very well to bide his time before that stop. A certain race winner?
Lap 23 Oliver Brown tweets....Oh please let this happen:
Vettel 14.4 secs clear of Webber but could be on four stops. What price a second late shoot-out between the raging Bulls?
Lap 22 Vettel all on his own. An image we have become very accustomed to:
Lap 21 Vettel way ahead here. He's about 14 seconds ahead of team-mate Webber.
Lap 20 Button into third place after moving ahead of Rosberg, who is now under pressure from Grosjean....And yup, Grosjean's ahead of Rosberg now. He loses two places in a matter of seconds. He's really struggling for speed. "Submissive," say the Sky commentators. That's one way of putting it....
Lap 19 Confirmation that it was a right rear puncture that brought Massa into the pits just then.
Lap 18 "We are on plan with Kimi," says Eric Boullier. He's less enthused about Grosjean's chances. "He got some debris from other cars," says a less than excited Boullier.
Lap 17 More Ferrari misery. Massa called into the pits with some damage. He's into the garage now and away within 18 seconds.
Lap 15 Here's a nice snap from the beginning of the race:
Lap 14 Fresh set of tyres puts Vettel back in the lead. And Oliver Brown reckons that will be that:
At present pace Vettel will win this by country mile. Already made first stop and lapping 3.5secs/lap quicker than Di Resta.
Lap 13 We have a new fastest lap of the day. Sebastian Vettel, third after 12 laps, clocking 1.39.849
Lap 12 We have a new leader, as Oliver Brown explains:
Paul Di Resta leads Bahrain GP. Not words I expected to be typing. Now for the endless Pirelli-enforced pack-shuffling...
Lap 11 Lewis Hamilton back in sixth position. Do we see him featuring today?
Lap 10 Interesting point by the Sky commentators.....Vettel's pace and lead is so strong that you have to think that his fellow Red Bull, Mark Webber, could feature at some point.
Lap nine Di Resta now up into second - about five seconds off Vettel.
Lap eight Alonso's back in the race. So his trip to the pits a success, then. But for how long? Ooooh, think he might be called back in. Looks like the problem is related to his DRS rear wing flap. They've closed it up and he's back out but this is race over for Alonso.
Lap seven Massa and Rosberg's battle for fourth is heating up. Brazilian going hell for leather but Rosberg closing every avenue possible with some smart driving. "Fernando: box now," comes the call over the radio to Alonso. He's having some technical problems. Think that could be a failure.
Lap six Boom! Di Resta up into the top three! He squeezes Rosberg down into fourth with some gutsy and aggressive driving. I guess the experts were right to be sceptical of Rosberg's chances today - despite that pole.
Lap five So after four laps it's Vettel, Rosberg, Alonso, Di Resta and Massa in the top five. Webber, Button, Perez, Raikkonen and Grosjean follow.
Lap four Alonso makes full use of his DRS to briefly move into second place. Rosberg fights him off and regains that position behind Vettel. I'm impressed with this start...
Lap three Rosberg, in the slower car, is using all his defensive canny to hold off an increasingly impatient Vettel. But there it is! Rosberg keeps his compatriot at bay on turn four but seconds later the Red Bull accelerates past to take the lead. DRS now enabled, by the way.
Lap two Rosberg begins lap two with a two-tenths of a second lead but he briefly relinquishes it at turn four. He manages to regain it soon after but Vettel and Alonso are using all their aggression to try and steal the lead.
Lap one Battling work from Rosberg to just stay ahead of Massa at the start. Frantic opening to the race....and by turn seven it's Vettel who storms into second place from Alonso. Phew!
13.04 LIGHTS OUT! We're under way!
13.01 The formation lap is under way. Not long now...
12.57 Our man Oliver Brown is in place:
12.56 The wind has picked up in the desert and the temperature has dropped a dash. Just under five minutes until lights out.
12.54 Sky's pre-race panel all plumping for the Ferrari pair of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa as winners today. Your tip?
12.47 National anthem time. Bahrainona (Our Bahrain) performed by a brass band. Moving.

12.37 Oh, this is nice. Mark Webber has received a cake for reaching the 200 Grand Prix milestone:
12.30 F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has described the Bahrain government as "stupid" for allowing today's grand prix in the troubled Gulf kingdom to give a voice to human rights protestors. In ill-judged remarks, as pro-democracy demonstrations continued in the capital Manama, the Formula One chief said:
We believe the government were in a way really stupid to put this race on, because it is a platform for people to use for protesting. We don't go anywhere to judge how a country is run. I keep asking people, what human rights - I don't know what they are. The rights are that people who live in the country abide by the laws of the country, whatever they are. I might be in Africa and can go 200kmph on the highway with no problem. If I come to England and do the same thing, I'm in trouble. So it's a case of whatever the laws are, people need to respect them.
12.25 Yesterday, Nico Rosberg gave Mercedes back-to-back pole positions for the first time since their return to Formula One at the start of 2010. Here's what our man in the Middle East, Oliver Brown, made of it all:
These are auspicious times for the Silver Arrows. Not since the days of Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio had Mercedes secured back-to-back pole positions, but Nico Rosberg confirmed their restoration as a power in Formula One by propelling them once more to the front of the grid for the Bahrain Grand Prix. t was the first time Mercedes had seized consecutive poles since 1955, as Rosberg signalled the scale of the team's ambition since its return in 2010. "We want to be the best," he said. "We want to dominate."
12.20 Good afternoon and thanks for joining me for live coverage of what should be an utterly low-key and incident-free Grand Prix from the Middle East........I'm joking, of course, since we all know that nothing is ever simple in the world of Formula One. This race has been followed by politics, protest and that staple of any good Grand Prix - some words of wisdom from Bernie Ecclestone but is going ahead nonetheless. The show must go on!

We clear trash, wipe to boss, run up... trash is back....
The hell?
We clear trash, wipe to boss, run up... trash is back....
The hell?
More trash epics! But no this didn't happen for us and I see why it sucks. If you already tried resetting and that didn't work a soft reset would probably do it (no one inside for atleast 30 mins)
Trash respawn timer should be 2 hours if it's the same as everything else.
Funny we had no trash respawn on Garalon even after 4+ hours.
Soloing as a warlock.
We had some problems with trash in the instance too, though in another part of the instance and not due to fast respawning. The last pack in front of the first boss wasn't attackable, and so was the boss. We had to reset the instance and clear the trash again for it to work.
So: No, it's not supposed to happen (to answer your question), but there are several bugs with trash in the instance which hopefully will be fixed soon(TM) in a hotfix.
This trash has had issues since beta testing, but we just didnt have it respawn, cant say i can complaint.
everything about that boss is just bugged to hell..
We suddenly had half the raid in another instance when corpserunning once, the ppl that got ressed up were obviously still in the correct one, seems you got into another raid-id version.
No, we didnt experience that. The only bug we experienced in the instance is that jumping just stops working for some people while doing HoF.

Re: Ben Canterbury of Fayette Co. WV
Dear Kenneth,
I have been away from genealogy for awhile, but now would like to continue with tracing the different branches of the Canterbury family tree with DNA testing. I have spoken to Bennett Greenspan at Family Tree DNA about making the Canterbury family a Surname Project in the future. This would allow Canterburys to see how the branches are related over the Internet. However, I need a few more volunteers and need your help locating the Canterbury volunteers.
Ideally, I am looking for your most distant male Canterbury cousins, preferably a volunteer descendent from one of each of John Canterbury's sons, Levi, Anderson, Zadoc, etc. I will arrange for the testing. There will be no charge to the volunteers. I appreciate your help and suggestions.

Satchmo SummerFest turns it up a notch
29th July 2013 · 0 Comments
By Geraldine Wyckoff
Contributing Writer
The flame has really been turned up on the schedule for the 13th edition of the Satchmo SummerFest. Held in and around the Old U.S. Mint from Friday, August 2, through Sunday, August 4, the free event celebrates all things Louis Armstrong and that means jazz.
This year, the musical performance element of the festival has expanded to three full days. (In previous years, only the seminars were offered on Fridays). Friday kicks off at 11 a.m. with a second line led by the New Birth Brass Band that begins at Jackson Square and ends at the Mint.
With an eye on getting people out to the festival on the new day and with the financial help of Chevron, the event's first major corporate sponsor, the presenters hired some musical big guns and broadened its outlook to include a national artist, the great trombonist, trumpeter and vocalist Wycliffe Gordon who closes out Friday in the cool of the evening at 7:45 p.m.
Gordon is certainly a perfect candidate to receive the invitation to perform at Satchmo SummerFest. Perhaps best recognized as the trombonist in the Wynton Marsalis Septet and the trumpeter's Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Gordon became enthralled with the legendary Armstrong by listening to his aunt's recordings at the early age of 13. He really showed his traditional jazz colors and love of Armstrong on his highly-regarded, 2011 album, Hello Pops! On the disc, which opens with Gordon paying a warm, lyrical tribute to the legend on the self-penned title cut, he also displays his chops on trumpet, an instrument he'd been heard on before but not to this extent. He also hits both vocally and instrumentally on classics like "Basin Street Blues" and "Black and Blue."
Gordon will be performing at the festival with a New Orleans rhythm section with bassist Roland Guerin, pianist Michael Esnault and drummer Geoff Clapp. On Saturday night, he appears at Snug Harbor with the same group with the addition of saxophonist Wess Anderson. The repertoire that night will no doubt include some straight-ahead jazz swinging.
Preceding Gordon to the stage and adding further sizzle to the Friday schedule will be pianist, vocalist and composer Allen Toussaint, who just over two weeks ago was at the White House shaking hands with Barrack Obama when the President presented him with the prestigious National Medal of the Arts Award.
Toussaint, of course, is most recognized in the New Orleans rhythm and blues field writing and playing hit after hit. In 2009, he broke out of the mold when he released a jazz album, Bright Mississippi, which includes Toussaint spinning his magic on such chestnuts as Jelly Roll Morton's "Winin' Boy" and Joe "King" Oliver's "West End Blues." It's difficult to imagine the crowd will let Toussaint leave the stage without doing some of his R&B hits though in the spirit of Armstrong he's sure to offer some traditional New Orleans jazz.
Years ago, the Satchmo SummerFest presented a separate stage for modern jazz and is again embracing the genre and in a big way. On Saturday evening at 6:45 pm – again when the temperature takes a slight dip – noted New Orleans pianist, composer and educator Ellis Marsalis will perform with a quartet including his son, drummer Jason Marsalis, bassist Jason Stewart and saxophonist Derek Douget.
Not unexpectedly, this master of modern jazz says that he doesn't intend to take a different approach to his music despite the festival's more traditional theme. Marsalis, who was in the forefront of this city's modern jazz movement, did do some work as a sideman in classic jazz settings with artists including trumpeter Alvin Alcorn, banjoist Albert "Poppa" French and his sons drummer Bob and bassist George French.
Decades ago, Marsalis got a peek at Armstrong performing. "I did see part of something that he was doing in Detroit in 1953," the pianist remembers. "I was up there and didn't have much money and me and a friend of mine were looking through the canvas – it was one of those tents. (Vocalist) Velma Middleton was still with him at that time."
Like most jazz musicians, Marsalis was influenced by Armstrong though perhaps in a less direct way than other artists.
"For the most part, when you deal with the people out of the genre that you're functioning in, if they have any influence on you, it's usually because of a common piece or song and the way you phrase it," says Marsalis who, as an aside, mentions Armstrong's collaborations with modern jazz legends like vocalist Ella Fitzgerald and pianist Oscar Peterson. "The way somebody phrases something can make all the difference in the world in terms of the manifestation of their influence."
While this year's Satchmo SummerFest offers some new, exciting elements, it brings back fan favorites like Sunday's second line parade that gets rolling around noon following a jazz mass at St. Augustine Church. Setting the pace will be the Treme Brass Band, the Baby Boyz Brass Band and the TBC Brass Band with steppers from the Sudan, Zulu, Undefeated Divas and the Dumaine Street Gang social aid and pleasure clubs and more.
As always, Kermit Ruffins will lead the final "Trumpet Tribute" on Sunday as some of New Orleans finest blow in celebration of the magnificent life and music of Louis Armstrong.

What Would Sophia Loren Do?
"What Would Sophia Loren Do?" or WWSLD?
I was in downtown Phoenix the other day, when I saw a cackle of middle aged women laughing and having a good ole time. It wasn't until I got closer however did I realize what they were doing.
Posing with a naked statue akin to the "King David" statue. Yes, they were grabbing his unit and posing in lewd places. But once I shook off the initial disbelief, I figured it would be good to document it.
The picture is a little dark, which is probably for the best.
Sophia Loren or
Miley Ray Cyrus
And then ask which one you want to be.
Seriously, this is the selection boys. This is the selection. Enjoy that decline.

Sophia Loren was once asked if she would ever marry again, after her husband of 50 years Carlo Ponti, she said "no, it would be impossible ever love anyone else that much" (I paraphrase).
She's not just gorgeous, she is loyal, and class radiates from her.

Hah, "cackle" of middle-aged women.
That word fits so much better than "gaggle." They don't cluck like hens (a clutch) even though they do waddle like geese (a gaggle). The shrieks of a group of middle aged women doing goofy teenager-type stuff is best summed by the collective noun "cackle." Good one, Cap.
A friend of a friend is going through a divorce right now. Kicked her husband out five months ago and is already dating a new guy, taking him out to bars to meet her friends. I can absolutely see this woman engaging in this type of behavior, and goading her friends into same.
These women must have not got the memo that there is more to men than just their dicks.
Our true gift is what is on the inside and our ambition to make it happen on the outside.
Those are women? No, I'm not trying to be cruel or sarcastic. I really thought that they were dudes. Really. My body looks more feminine than their bodies do, and I lift, do the Insanity Workout (so close to the Asylum upgrade), and run.

Golden Tote Mystery Tote Review – January 2015
Every January, Golden Tote offers a mystery tote. It can be a great deal since you get 4 clothing items for $60, and one is a new Puella item. (The other items are repeat items from previous totes in 2014).
I decided to go with the Medium sized Mystery Tote this month since I knew there would be Puella item. (Puella items tend to run large and tent-like for me, so I size down in their styles).
If you are interested in getting a Golden Tote Mystery Tote – they still have sizes Extra Small, Small, and Medium available.
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Box: Golden Tote Mystery Tote
The Cost: $60 plus shipping (Find it in the Boutique)
The Products: 4 surprise clothing items. (Available in sizes XS-M)
Check out all my regular Golden Tote reviews too!
Paper Crane Tunic – Value $50?
Unfortunately I already received this item in my September Golden Tote – so this will be swapped!
Puella Tunic – Value $50?
(48% Rayon, 48% Polyester, 4% Spandex)
I believe this tunic was made just for the Mystery Tote, but this Puella Tunic at Anthropologie looks like it is the same cut (just a different fabric). I'm glad I sized down to a medium in this top. It's definitely tent-like, but I think it will look great with skinny jeans and a faux fur vest. I also love the oatmeal-cream color. (FYI – this top is a loose knit, so you'll need to layer something underneath).
Kori Hooded Dress – Value $60?
(63% Polyester, 33% Rayon, 4% Spandex)
I'm really impressed by the quality of the fabric of this dress – it's the perfect weight. Unfortunately the proportions are just off for my body shape – sadly this will be swapped as well.
Le Sample Top – Value $30?
(100% Cotton)
I love the embroidery detail on this shirt – and it is a really lightweight cotton weave – perfect for summer.
Verdict: Well, this wasn't my most successful Golden Tote Mystery Tote – but I plan on swapping the Kori dress and Paper Crane Tunic for other Golden Tote items, so hopefully I can turn this tote into 100% a win for me!
What do you think of the Mystery Tote?

As a tribute to our recent update to the 1841 census in which many of the schedules from Cumberland and north Lancashire have been added, it is interesting to consider the oddities of the first national census in which every individual was named, and therefore the first to be really useful to family historians nationwide.
Censuses had been taken time out of mind of course for particular towns and parishes, but these were adhoc affairs often connected to tax raising or army business and many have not survived. The state sanctioned nationwide censuses had been taking place since 1801 – parliament had sanctioned them against some opposition, but as the age old parish and church bureaucracies began to creak, the state needed to assess its rapidly multiplying population.
The shaping of the 1841 census was heavily influenced by two men, Thomas Henry Lister, the Registrar General and John Rickman, statistician. It was Lister for example, who insisted that the whole census be taken over only a day or so, that the GRO registration districts should be the basis of the census and that a lot of, not particularly well educated, men would be needed to enumerate it. Lister was brought in after the death of Rickman, who had pushed for and got the first national census in 1801 and later for full enumeration-though he never lived to see it.
1841 is not the easiest census to search what with ages of individuals varying by up to five years , no relationships provided between members of the household and no place of birth, except whether a person was born in or out of county (with squiggles indicating Scots, Irish or other foreign origin). Ages and relationships can be guessed at but the lack of a precise parish of birth is particularly frustrating if you trying to trace the origins of your ancestor. Fortunately, by the time you get that far back in the nineteenth century, people are generally close to where their families were from historically anyway; the impact of the railways had not quite been fully felt. If your family had left and was newly arrived in Manchester or Birmingham though, it would really help to know precisely where they were from, especially if they had died by the time of the 1851 census.
It is also not widely known that many very young children are missing from it, following the widespread belief that the unbaptised children or even those under seven, didn't really count (literally) or that a family would be penalised if there were too many resident in one place. Then again many enumerators were themselves semi literate and were filling in the forms for the actually illiterate, interpretating badly what they had been told orally. This can lead to some very strange names being recorded, as I am sure many of users can testify to! Have you found any strange names?
The census informed the Victorian government in its military, taxation and medical decisions and continues to be a great boon to statisticians and academics in their discussions about the impact of such things as the Industrial Revolution but it is only recently that it has come into its own as a family history tool. Such a use was totally unconsidered when it was constructed but it is this interest in roots which has really democratised its use and brought its peculiarities and joys to a wide audience, even though the mysteries surrounding many of its entries may never be fully resolved.
For this year's Census Day on Sunday the 27th March, we're making census indexes from England, Wales and Scotland, free to search. Click here for further details.

I hadn't realised there were gaps in this census in the first place – would explain why I couldn't find the people I knew should be there!
Is there any way of finding out which places you don't have available and which in censuses?

A stock character type: the mustachioed, cigar-chomping, military-outfitted, often tyrannical ruler of a banana republic. He's usually equipped with a narcissistic attitude and bombastic personality; expect him to look identical to Fidel Castro about 90% of the time. Some examples:
- Vargas, from the Woody Allen film Bananas.
- The president of Isla Island from American Dad! (I can't quite remember his name. Help?)
- The president of Costa Verde in a Harley Quinn / Poison Ivy comic inspired by Batman: The Animated Series.
Hello, Unknown Troper. You'll need to get known to lend a hand here.

An episode of 'Gilligan's Island', "The Little Dictator" featured Nehemiah Persoff as Pancho Rodriguez, exiled dictator of the banana republic of Equario.
I barely remember the plot to The Expendables, (I only saw it all because Inception was sold out, and the theater is nearly an hour away) probably because The Expendables barely had a plot. But I remember Dexter's Sargent Angel Batista dressed like Castro smoking a cigar and ruling some villa in El Undefined Republic.
Peter Falk played one in an episode of The Twilight Zone.
In the 1988 film Moon Over Parador, an actor working in the title country is coerced into impersonating the dead dictator of said country, complete with the uniform as his costume.
- A female version is the subject of the Duran Duran song "Meet El Presidente"
- The Police also used this stock character in the song "Bombs Away"
In Seinfeld (episode: The Race), a Fidel Castro character actually shows up, but is clearly more influenced by this trope (and Larry David's George Steinbrenner character) than the real Castro.
- Heroic example in Once Upon A Time In Mexico, the President of Mexico who was on the warpath against The Cartel.
A minor character in the Transformers episode B.O.T. (known among fans and those involved in the franchise as the undisputed worst episode of the series) is actually refered to as this this. Given he is shown involved in arms trades on a small boat instead of ruling, he may be disposed instead of in-power.
Bad write-up and examples:
- Cuba is pretty much the anti-thesis of a Banana Republic.
- Vargas wasn't the dictator in Bananas, he was the revolutionary. The dictator was General Emilio M. Vargas.
Ah, sorry, got things confused while writing. However, Emilio Vargas of the movie still looks nothing like Castro.
In an old cigar advert from British TV, a British diplomat in a Banana Republic has a portrait of El Presidente on the wall, which he can flip around as the military situation dictates to display the portrait of the local revolutionary leader on the rear. Remember kids, smoking makes you cool and relaxed...
In the James Bond film, Licence To Kill, Hector Lopez. He is portrayed as more reluctant Punch Clock Villain than dictator, as his country is effectively a puppet of The Syndicate.
Cuba is pretty much the anti-thesis of a Banana Republic.There are two different characters here. One is a Fidel Castro clone with a beard, simple green uniform with no metals and field cap; and the other is the General with a moustache and lots of metals, tailored dress uniform with officers hat (peaked cap). The Castro clone is head of a communist dictatorship Peoples Republic Of Tyranny. The "General" is the head of a military junta ruling a Banana Republic.
An episode of Ducktales shows the protagonists visiting a Banana Republic ruled by a Castro expy.
^^Maybe we better split off the General and keep this for only Castro expies?
^^, ^ The word expy definitely needs to be in the description.
Sometimes he shows up in Africa, too. One of the most infamous examples is Abdul, King of Carbombya from Transformers, whose portrayal was so offensive Casey Kasem left the show.
I've started General President for that variant. Real Life
- Former Panamanian leader Manual Noriega was arguably both El Presidente and General President.
Ahh, okay, so what's this trope about now? Specifically Castro expies?
^ El Presidente is the Castro expy in a plain green uniform that rules the Peoples Republic Of Tyranny. Think: a Simpsons portrayal of "Cidel Fastro" ruling a made up country (often the country is engaged in luke-warm warfare, drug trafficking, cartels). General President is the mustachioed, custom-uniform wearing, Bling Of War donning, dictator of Banana Republic with no understanding of the word "democratically." Think: Real Life Muammar Qaddafi. So, this YKTTW is about the former.
The villain of an episode of Cyborg 009 is the dictator of the (fictional) African country of Muanba, where a civil war is about to erupt.

Michelle Malkin has a great piece in response to Attorney General Eric Holder.
"My fellow Americans, who are "your people"? I ask because U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who is black, used the phrase "my people" in congressional testimony this week. It was an unmistakably color-coded and exclusionary reference intended to deflect criticism of the Obama Justice Department's selective enforcement policies. It backfired.
In pandering to skin-deep identity politics and exacerbating race-consciousness, Holder has given the rest of us a golden opportunity to stand up, identify "our people" and show the liberal poseurs what post-racialism really looks like."

PETERSBURG, Va. (WRIC) — Money problems are mounting in Petersburg as the year draws to a close, with city leaders racing against time to make sure their employees were paid and critical services are maintained through December.
At Tuesday night's city council meeting, council unanimously voted to allow acting city manager Tom Tyrell to secure funding to pay city employees on Friday, November 18 and again on December 2. This comes after concerns were raised over whether there would be enough funding in the city's bank account for payroll.
"It's still very precarious," said Petersburg taxpayer Barb Rudolph, describing the state of the city's finances. "It's teetering on the brink."
Anxieties remain high even after financial experts found more $1.3 million for the city from unused bonds.
Council also moved to allow Tyrell to defer $6.6 million dollars from capital projects on hold to help the city make ends meet through the end of the year, including a payment of more than a million dollars to settle a lawsuit filed by the city's wastewater authority.
Included among the projects being deferred were various utility upgrades, including upgrades to the Poor Creek Main and lines and water tank upgrades, museum and field course upgrades, and a city hall replacement.
Speakers representing the Robert Bobb Group expressed the need for the city to stop issuing revenue anticipation notes within five years and developing a healthy cash reserve for fluctuating revenues moving forward.
Rudolph was one of several residents who took the podium to express displeasure at the city's ongoing financial issues, calling city management 'inept' in light of what the Robert Bobb Group had uncovered since taking over the city's operations.
After Friday's payroll, a debt payment and other costs, it's estimated the city will have less than $78,000 in its bank account.
"We will be working over the next couple of days to make sure every dollar that should be coming into the city is received," said Robert Bobb of the RBG consulting firm, acknowledging that the current amount in the city's account is "pretty low."
Consultants will report back to city council on December 5 with an update.
