Commissioner discusses All-Star Game, replay
Commissioner discusses All-Star Game, replay
The Commissioner was part of a five-person panel -- along with Fox All-Star Game broadcasters Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, FOX Sports Media Group vice chairman Ed Goren and co-president and co-COO Eric Shanks -- assembled to preview the 83rd All-Star Game on July 10 at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium.
Selig opened the call by talking about his overwhelmingly positive takeaways from the season's first half.
"I'm looking forward to next week, the All-Star Game and all the events we have," Selig said of the Midsummer Classic. "We're having a remarkable year on the field, and frankly off the field, as we're going over 37 million in attendance today.
"I don't want to jinx us, but I'm excited we have great [division] races, the two additional Wild Cards and it's just been a great year -- five no-hitters, two perfect games ... and you have the R.A. Dickey story."
Though the panel discussion was centered around the All-Star Game, Selig also addressed a couple of other topics, including his satisfaction with the current state of instant replay in baseball.
"People in our sport don't want any more," Selig said in regards to expansion of replay. "Given our attendance and everything we're doing, we're in the right place with instant replay. Baseball is a game of pace. You have to be very sensitive and careful not to disturb that pace."
Members of the panel expressed interest in all the new faces that will be suiting up in Kansas City next week. One of the more popular names brought up was 20-year-old Angels rookie Mike Trout, whom Selig mentioned in his initial statement, and McCarver mentioned as one of the things he was most excited about this year.
"I'll tell you what I've loved this year: The infusion of young players in the game has really been incredible," Selig said. "Just take the Mike Trout situation."
"Mike Trout, I've never seen him play [in person], but I'm really looking forward to that," said McCarver, who along with Buck, has called each of the past 13 Midsummer Classics for FOX. "That, for me, is going to be one of the highlights of the All-Star Game."
The Commissioner also fielded several questions about the voting process.
As far as the minor disagreement between Reds manager Dusty Baker and National League All-Star manager Tony La Russa stemming from La Russa's decision not to invite Reds starter Johnny Cueto and second baseman Brandon Phillips, Selig said La Russa will address any queries about his All-Star personnel decisions himself.
"Well let me just say this, Tony will answer all questions about his team," Selig said, "But you look at the list of pitchers, and I went over that with Tony, and I think in the end there were a lot of pitchers available. And I think in the end, they picked their strongest staffs.
"Every year, there's always some struggles. We've had less controversy this year. Everybody would like to have all their players on, but in fairness to the Cincinnati Reds, they have three players on [the NL team], and that's a strong showing."
Selig also discussed Giants slugger Pablo Sandoval's surge in the final couple days of the fan vote to surpass the Mets' David Wright for the National League's starting third-base spot. Sandoval erased a nearly 465,000-vote deficit in the final week of voting and earned the starting nod despite missing more than a month of the season with a broken hand.
"It's part of the process," Selig said. "Today we have the fan vote, we have the player vote, then we have the managers choosing. I'm not unhappy about it ... I think for the most part, the lineups are very, very good. I'm comfortable where we are."
Selig cited the strong player commitment levels since World Series home-field advantage was awarded to the winner of the game.
"Given the fact that years ago we ran into a period where a lot of players tried to find excuses, didn't want to play -- we haven't had any of that," Selig said. "People are critical of 'this time it counts' -- well, I think it's worked well. People are happy to go, and the only people who are unhappy are the people who didn't make it. I feel very good about where we're at today."
As for team- and player-specific recognition, Selig offered high praise for Dickey's rise that could land him the starting pitcher nod for the NL in next week's game, as well as for teams like the Orioles and Pirates remaining in contention.
Buck echoed the Commissioner in saying the All-Star Game is in good shape and even tossed out a prediction that Giancarlo Stanton would win the 2012 State Farm Home Run Derby next Monday night.
"It's by far the best All-Star game," Buck said of baseball's Midsummer Classic. "It's not even close; it's by far the best of the four major sports."

Truckloads of evidence indicating treachery, betting, fraud and insider complicity in the Indian Premier League (IPL) surfaced when the national media launched a sustained effort to unearth the skeletons in the much-maligned league. It was evident to the rest of the world, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) liked us to believe that there is something collectively wrong with the eyes and the ears of the world outside of it.
Welcome to the BCCI! This is a world where President N Srinivasan can do no wrong — and to hell with how the world perceives.
Given the past record and the intent of the BCCI against mounting evidence against it and the rising public ire, there were not too many who were optimistic about the inquiry committee hand-picked by the BCCI to indict any of the accused. That the probe panel gave everybody a clean chit thus came as no surprise.
The two-member commission that inquired the spot-fixing and betting allegations preserved the axiom that 'Srinivasan is always right.' Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team 'enthusiast' Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra were given a clean chit. Hang on, didn't Kundra confess to betting on the results of the games?
The Bombay High Court called the BCCI probe illegal. Srinivasan reacted to the post-verdict uproar along expected lines. Why such a "big issue" was made out of this, he wondered. Either the entire country is full of idiots, or the word "issue" has a different meaning in Srinivasan's dictionary. The court has asked for fresh investigation. In the reply affidavit, the BCCI and Srinivasan termed the petition filed by Cricket Association of Bihar as "motivated and vested with personal interest."
Let us assume for argument's sake that the BCCI (the clean-chit providers) is clean. Why then did Ajay Shirke, Sanjay Jagdale and Rajeev Shukla resign? Jagdale himself was unaware that he was part of a probe committee that BCCI had set up to investigate IPL 2013 spot-fixing controversy.
Make no mistake: one has not heard the last in the biggest controversy ever to rage Indian cricket. The Sports Ministry, which has a troubled relationship with the BCCI, was emphatic that it did not give much credence to the verdict and is awaiting the probe outcome of the police. The Mumbai Police on its part did not send anybody from its investigating team to appear before the private probe panel of the BCCI because it was answerable only to the court. Clearly, the BCCI probe did not have legal sanctity.
For the moment, the likes of Meiyappan and Kundra may have heaved a sigh of relief, but it's only momentary. The heat will be felt soon.

Head Gasket Repair, now noticed block is cracked
Guys, thanks to all the great reading on this site, I tackled dropping the cradle on my 85k mile 98 Eldorado to replace the leaking head gaskets. Everything has been going smooth. I installed Norms inserts, cleaned everything up, got the heads resurfaced, installed new valve stem seals, got everything ready for the heads to go back on. Then I noticed the worst thing. There's a crack in one of the cylinder bores. F_ck!
Obviously a new block is needed. What years are interchangable? I just looked at what's on ebay, I don't have the budget for a rebuilt long block. I'm not sure where I'm going with this car now. Might just cut bait and part it out. Any suggestions?

Re: Head Gasket Repair, now noticed block is cracked
SO your over heating was the block and not the HG.
Re: Head Gasket Repair, now noticed block is cracked
I think you can use a '96 -'99 block. Might check with Jake. http://www.northstarperformance.com He may have one.

Re: Head Gasket Repair, now noticed block is cracked
98 engine is 98 block. Cracked liner is not repairable. Go back to square 1 and find another low mileage 98 in the proper VIN (Y or 9) and swap your parts onto it. The car is probably worth saving.

Re: Head Gasket Repair, now noticed block is cracked
Well, both were bad. Head gaskets were definitely blown out and also the block cracked.
I think I have found a complete engine locally for $1000 delivered. Hopefully that will check out OK and maybe I can sell some parts off it to recover some of the cost. Obviously a dumb move to check for cracks after I spent time/money on the inserts. Maybe a lesson for others....
Both head gaskets looked like this, deformed and pushed out into the water jacket.

Re: Head Gasket Repair, now noticed block is cracked
I don't normally sell just blocks but I might be able to make an exception. The reason I don't is due to a shortage of blocks. I find the odd cracked one, or one with cylinder taper, or corrosion so some of the time I just have to chuck 'em into the scrap pile.
The block will work all the way back from a 1993. But- for 93-97 blocks you will need to use the 93-97 style timing cover. For 93-95 blocks you will need to drill and tap a hole in the valley for the knock sensor. Easy to do. Early models had a different style oil pump and a different size balancer bolt (15/16 socket instead of the usual 3/4). Whatever you do, never mix-and-match cranks, oil pump drive sleeves, and balancers. Keep these as a set.
1993-1995 engines had ridges on the aluminum part of the cylinder walls where as 96-present has smooth walls. The ridges may add strength to the cylinders?
Oh- and the upper and lower block portion must be kept together as a set. Mix-and-matching these may lead to main bearing failure. If one was desperate you could attempt to mix-and-match upper and lower blocks, but you'd have to plastiguage each bearing/journal to make sure the required bearing-to-main journal clearance is there.
I can probably come up with an empty block for you, it'll be probably a 96-97 (will work with no problems in the 98 Eldorado and Deville but not in a 98 Seville due to mounting bolt locations) along with the required timing cover. Drilled and tapped for studs and studs, nuts, and washers included for $650.00.
You'll just have to install your rotating/reciprocating assembly and heads. I'll need a bit of time to pull an engine from one of my parts cars. A couple weeks should do it. Just let me know. I may not be on the forums much for a while (too busy) so just send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com - 11-23-09 01:59 AM #7
Re: Head Gasket Repair, now noticed block is cracked
If only 2000+ blocks worked. Tomorrow a truck is coming with 24 brand new engines: (the other 76 to come at a later date)
Everything would work except for the angle and size of the CKP sensor holes. - 11-23-09 08:25 AM #8Cadillac Owners Enthusiast

Re: Head Gasket Repair, now noticed block is cracked
i wonder if bligblockolds feels like i did the day Jake told me my new used engine would work after being told by so many people it wouldnt I had taken a gamble on that one, and after a post just like that one /\ i got it all done
So i dont need to say now that many will fit with some MINOR mods. (i got lucky with mine, the block had both holes drilled for knock sensor). My luck was finding a donor car with an engine that had been replaced by the dealer. - Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements

The actor wants to adopt a girl child next year
Manisha Koirala turned 44 on August 16, and she's made a momentous decision. She wants to adopt a baby girl next year.
Speaking from the Oneness University in Seemandhara, Manisha confirms, "I've decided to adopt a baby girl. In my own way, I can start my own family."
The actress would've adopted a child earlier but held out because of her health issue. She shares, "After my ovarian cancer was cured, I was advised to give it three years before my body would be considered safe from the disease. Those three years would be completed next year. That's when I'll feel confident enough to take care of a new life. That's when I'll officially adopt a child."
She's pessimistic about finding love but adds, "I've always fallen in love with the wrong people. I've ended being hurt, but have never been disillusioned by love. I still look for love. I still crave to be in a perfect relationship, though I know it may not be possible to find it. I now long to find that perfect love in my relationship with my child."
Manisha also craves inner peace, "I am now looking forward to some good work, a stress-free life and maybe the right life partner one day. Meanwhile, I'm now getting ready to bring my child home. I feel she would complete me in the way no other person can."

Mr Matrix – Draggable FX routing system.
Download Links
Mr MatrixUPDATED 24th March 2013 – FX box position can now be used to modulate FX – This is massively fun BTW! Download V3 below.
I was teaching the other day and one of my students had this patch with lots of effects in it. They were all routed to a central matrix~ object. It was really powerful but let down by the fact that controlling the matrix~ can be quite confusing esp when performing live. Personally I don't like having to think in rows and columns when I just want to put the delay after the gate instead of before it.
Today I made a first step towards solving this problem and Mr Matrix was born, have a look at the attached patch and hopefully it will be pretty self explanatory. Basically you define your FX blocks, they appear in a GUI and you can drag them around to re-order or remove them from the signal chain. I've included some very basic FX for you to demo but the intention is you'll fill up Mr Matrix with your own creations.
Have fun and let me know how you get on….

Qpad offers new MX-85 and MX-50 gaming keyboards
Ryan Martin / 5 years ago
World renowned eSports and gaming gear company QPAD widens their product range with two brand new keyboards: the QPAD MK-85 and MK-50. Although sharing some common features, the boards still differ greatly. One offers world's first groundbreaking technology with no expenses spared, and the other attempts a break at the so sought after "Best bang for the buck" award.
QPAD has made quite a name for themselves over the years, as provider of top of the line gaming gear, targeted at pro gamers and demanding enthusiasts. Their new premium keyboard, the QPAD MK-85 is designed to be the gamers dream. Featuring all the qualities customers expect from any QPAD product, such as superior build quality, unsurpassed durability and a well thought out design and layout, the MK-85 offers one truly unique feature, making it one of a kind in the world of keyboards.
Full N-key roll over with USB!
The QPAD MK-85 is the world's first mechanical keyboard offering full N-key roll over via USB. Since the PS/2 connector is being phased out and several manufacturers of computers and motherboards do not offer this option, many gamers are left with no way of utilizing the benefit of the full roll over feature, because their gaming rig does not support that type of connection. With the MK-85, this will not be a problem. No more need for dual cables or a PS/2 to USB adapter. The groundbreaking technology of the MK-85 allows all the functionality of the board, such as USB hub, the red back light and the full N-key roll over, through the use of just one single USB cable.
Cherry MX Red mechanical switches
QPAD has decided to use the Cherry MX Red switches for both the MK-85 and the MK-50. The Cherry MX Red switch is basically a lighter version of the MX Black switch. It operates with an actuation point of 2mm and requires a pressure of 45g for the key to register a stroke. Furthermore, the actuation point and release point of the switch are identical, which will facilitate precision and control in games that require multi tapping. Unlike the Cherry MX Blue switches of the MK-80, the Cherry MX Red switches are not tactile and do not offer any audible feedback. Some gamers prefer audible and tactile feedback, and some prefer none. The important thing here is that QPAD now offers a keyboard for both groups.
The red back light of the MK-85 is produced through individual LED:s for every key. The MK-85 also comes with programmable keys, audio connectors, and exclusive software for setting up gaming profiles. In short: Anything a serious gamer would ever want, is to be found in the MK-85.
The other board of the family might not, like its bigger brother, sport world's first, cutting edge technology, but breaks new ground in its own right. Never before has quality, feel and precision been so affordable. The MK-50 is essentially a stripped down MK-85. Without the back light, programmable keys or extra audio and USB connectors, the board still offers the same outstanding performance and feel of a top of the line mechanical keyboard, but with an affordable price tag!
Although old news for existing QPAD customers, some common features of all the QPAD keyboards still deserve to be mentioned, such as key switches built to last 50 million strokes, full N-key roll over, gold plated connectors for ultra low latency, and media keys for easy control of playback, pause, skip track etc.
Following the block busting success with the award winning MK-80, competition in the upper segments of gaming gear increases with the birth of these new members of the QPAD keyboard family. Not only do they offer versatility and choice regarding the gamers' personal preferences of switches, but also broadens the assortment offered by QPAD. For the picky gamer that wants extra everything, the MK-85 is the natural choice. The MK-50 on the other hand, offers supreme build quality and durability, along with unmatched control and feel at a very competitive price.
As an extra treat for the holidays, QPAD also offers a unique opportunity for customers to order a limited supply of any of the company's three boards (MK-50, MK-80 & MK-85) with the Cherry MX switches of their choice, be it blue, black, brown or red. That means you could get your hands on a MK-85 with Cherry MX Blue, or Black switches, if that is your desire.
More information here.
QPAD will present the MK-85 and the MK-50 to fans, gamers, the industry, and the world, for the very first time at the world's biggest gaming festival: Dreamhack, held in Jönköping, Sweden 24-27 November.
Availability MK-50: November 2011, Rec. price 79.90€ Availability MK-85: December 2011 Rec. price 149.90€

Monday Morning Mirth Now that Chicago has become such a HOT tourist destination everybody is offering generous travel stop hype… from Men's Health magazine: "Look for where State and Rush Streets intersect to form a triangle (nicknamed the "Viagra Triangle" because of the head-turners seen there). Best viewing area: the outdoor patio at the Tavern on Rush." Overheard: "It doesn't have that Viagra feeling," she said. "They call this area the `Viagra Triangle' don't they?" Ashley was talking about the granddaddy bars of the Rush Street area, places like The Lodge and Mother's, spots that are often a haven for, um, the older set–men and women still trying to hang on to their youth." Under 40? Enjoy a cocktail called the "Little Blue Pill" @Elm Street Liquors and do some People Watchin' People Watchin' People yourself… ************************************* ChicKnits Advice: furgeddaboudit – go yarn shopping…

How do you find about this stuff? Monica and I walk by there all the time on our way to Betty's. Whodathunkit?
Just finished your Ribby Shell! It was very quick knitting and loved the way you decreased and finished the edges, too. I'm going to make another!
Having "partied" on Rush as a newbie to Chicago, I totally agree that yarn shopping is a gigantic improvement over that scene.
Gibson's, kitty corner from Tavern on Rush, is one of my favorite places for great food, beverage, service, & loads of people watching. There's usually a crowd at the bar and a parade of passersby on the sidewalk. But now I have to check out Elm Street Liquors. You're driving me to drink.

Artist's concept of Polaris system
This is a view from within the Polaris triple star system. The North Star, Polaris A is a bright supergiant variable star.
Just above Polaris is a small companion, Polaris Ab, which is 2 billion miles (about 3.2 billion kilometres) from Polaris. Much farther away, near the top of the illustration, is the wide companion Polaris B. Polaris B is located approximately 240 billion miles (about 386 billion kilometres) from Polaris A. The two companion stars are the same temperature as Polaris A, but are dwarf stars.

Margaret Thatcher served as the prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990. Nicknamed the Iron Lady, Thatcher was known for her steadfast conservative politics. Thatcher's term coincided with a boom in English music in the wake of the punk movement, and much of this music harshly criticized her policies or straight up attacked her on a personal level. Bands tapped into the atmosphere of anger and discontent in Thatcher's England, singing about everything from high unemployment rates to the Falklands War.
1. The Not Sensibles, "I'm in Love with Margaret Thatcher" (1979)
Though most songs about Thatcher make her out to be a villain, this song, released shortly after she was elected to office, is rather lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek.
2. The English Beat, "Stand Down Margaret" (1980)
Two-tone ska legends The Beat were among the first to condemn Thatcher in song with this cut from their album I Just Can't Stop It.
3. The Blues Band, "Maggie's Farm" (1980)
This tune rewrites Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" — itself a rewrite of the folk standard "Penny's Farm" — as a commentary on Thatcher's government.
4. The Specials, "Ghost Town" (1981)
Another ska classic about Thatcher. "This town's becoming like a ghost town / Government leaving the youth on the shelf."
5. Poison Girls, "Another Hero" (1981)
"Maggie Thatcher's patching up her makeup in the broken glass." From the album Total Exposure.
6. Klaus Nomi, "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead" (1982)
NYC-based New Wave eccentric Nomi turned a song from The Wizard of Oz into a commentary on Thatcher's politics.
7. Newtown Neurotics, "Kick Out The Tories" (1982)
This underrated punk band's third single focused on working-class struggles in Thatcher's Britain.
8. Pink Floyd, "The Fletcher Memorial Home" (1983)
Roger Waters envisions "The Fletcher Memorial Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings" in this song from The Final Cut, naming Margaret Thatcher as one of the tyrants in residence.
9. The Varukers, "Thatcher's Fortress" (1984)
Fast and loud, The Varukers rage against Thatcher in this cut from their Massacred Millions EP.
10. The Larks, "Maggie Maggie Maggie (Out Out Out)" (1985)
This charged punk anthem is based on the English Miner's Strike protest chant, "Maggie Out," and is featured on the Miners' Benefit LP Here We Go.
11. Crass, "How Does It Feel?" (1986)
These anarcho-punk legends are famous for their scathing critiques of Thatcher's regime, and this song from Best Before 1984 is a prime example. "How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand dead?"
12. Thatcher on Acid, "Guess Who's Running the Show" (1987)
Formed in 1983, this anarcho-punk group chose to reference Thatcher explicitly in their band's name.
13. Morrissey, "Margaret on the Guillotine" (1988)
This song from Morrissey's debut solo album Viva Hate, which calls for Thatcher's death, made him the subject of an official investigation by British police.
14. Elvis Costello, "Tramp the Dirt Down" (1989)
Costello fantasizes about stomping on Thatcher's grave in this harshly condemning cut from Spike, singing "And when they finally lay you in the ground / I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down."
15. Kitchens of Distinction, "Margaret's Injection" (1989)
"Never relished violence, but Margaret, it's time for your injection." From the album Love is Hell.
16. Sinead O'Connor, "Black Boys on Mopeds" (1990)
This sobering song from I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got digs at Thatcher in its opening verse, before going on to assert that "England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses."
17. VIM, "Maggie's Last Party" (1991)
Thatcher's own words are used for a darkly comic effect on this ironic rave track.
18. Billy Bragg, "Thatcherites" (1996)
Billy Bragg comments on Thatcher's legacy in this song released after she left office, which jabs at succeeding Prime Minister John Major. "Your leader she has gone, but she's left us little John."
19. Hefner, "The Day that Thatcher Dies" (2000)
"We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies, even though it's not right," Darren Hayman sings in this song, which went on to become one of his band's most famous tunes. This song also calls back to "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead."
20. Frank Turner, "Thatcher Fucked the Kids" (2006)
Turner reckons with the lasting influence of Thatcher in this cut from Campfire Punkrock singing, "Blame the folks who sold the future for the highest bid / That's right, Thatcher fucked the kids."
21. Pete Wylie, "The Day that Margaret Thatcher Dies" (2011)
Not to be confused with the Hefner song of the same name, this party-rock tune revels in its hatred for the former prime minister: "She's gone! And nobody cried!"
- President Trump may have initially blamed Democrats for Friday's failed health care bill but it took only two days for him to start blaming Republicans, too.
- The Trump administration is silent hours after Russia arrested hundreds of people protesting corruption under Putin.
- One person has been killed and at least 14 injured after a Cincinnati nightclub shooting early Sunday. Police are looking for one suspect.
- 'Orange Is The New Black' actor Samira Wiley and writer Lauren Morelli are officially married and tied the knot in Palm Springs 🌴

Q: I have a Toro snow blower that has started on the first pull every time for 10 years. However, it does not seem to throw the snow as far as it used to. Is there some type of routine maintenance that should be done to improve performance?
A: There are a couple of things to check to resolve this issue:
- Check the wear on the paddles. Toro snow blowers have a wear mark on the paddles (it is a small pinhole). If it's worn past that mark, it's time to replace the paddles. The gap on the paddles and the auger housing should be very tight. If the gap is not tight, the snow blower won't pick up as much snow and throw it as far.
- Check the wear on the scraper bar. The scraper bar on the bottom of the housing serves as a protection for the housing and will also aid in picking up the snow.
- Also check the belt wear and tension. Depending on the model of Toro snow blower, there may be a cable that connects to the auger engagement handle. This handle might have different positions for the cable to connect to, thus making the cable and belt tension tighter. You can also remove the side plate of the snow blower to access the belt and check for tension and wear.

The 26-year-old has pledged his future to the Merseyside club, insisting he will remain at Anfield even if the Reds fail to qualify for Europe's premier competition this season
The Uruguay international has scored 17 league goals so far this season, despite the Reds' suffering from inconsistency which has left them seven points short of fourth place.
But, two years on from his arrival on Merseyside from Ajax, the club's No.7 has insisted he will not leave even if an unlikely late battle for fourth is not sustained.
7/1 | Liverpool are 7/1 to finish in the top four with bet365 |
"We won't know until then how we are doing and what our position is so I am prepared to wait until that time.
"But I want to say now that, if you want to know what will happen to me if we don't qualify for the Champions League, then I will say this: I have a contract with Liverpool and I am very happy here. I will stay."
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard recently described the 26-year-old as the best forward he has ever played alongside, and the striker was full of praise in return.
"I get goose pimples when I hear he said that," he added. "In my country, we call it Carne de Gallina. Like the skin of a chicken. That's how I feel.
"Gerrard is such a good player and what he said about me I will never forget. It's unbelievable. He has such a good record over many years in the English game and is a great example to all the players here, especially to me.
"We all respect him. He has won almost everything and if anything goes wrong on the pitch he never tells the players off. He just speaks to them afterwards and when he speaks to them you can take it as a fact that he is right. He is just trying to help people.
"Steven has also said things to me in private that I will never forget, about things that have happened and things that I can do here. These are conversations that players have. People don't hear them but they are so important. They make a difference to a person like me, to my career and my life.
"The ones we had are private but say everything about him. Steven has given me motivation to carry on and do well with what he has said. He has helped me hugely."

The last time I talked to the guys from Happy Owl Studio, they were busy cranking out great-looking leather bags for Apple devices. Now the company is producing the Cashbox (starts at US$750 – $1,500, depending on the payment solution selected for the register), a product that was still in planning back in early '12 and is now ready to give your iPad cash register a solid and sustainable home.
As you'll see in the video at the bottom of this post, Happy Owl uses sustainably grown and harvested bamboo wood that is then cut to precise measurements with a CNC milling machine, laser-etched with a logo of your choice and hand-finished. The guts of the Cashbox are all industry-standard — an iPad, of course, as well as a Star receipt printer and a Vasario cash drawer.
The Cashbox can not only accept credit and debit cards through Square, PayPal or any of the other common iPad payment solutions, but also has a cash drawer for taking the old legal tender as well. One unique feature is the tilting iPad holder that flips from letting a clerk enter an order to a customer's view of the transaction for signature.
The Cashbox certainly appears to be a lot more sturdy and usable than the upcoming "Stand" or the existing Business in a Box solutions from Square. If you're looking at an iPad-based register solution for your business, the Cashbox is definitely worth a look for a solid custom register.
Happy Owl Studio Cashbox: a beautiful hand-crafted iPad cash register originally appeared on TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Mon, 20 May 2013 11:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Tuberculosis |
Confused About Results07/14/2009 |
Hi. I`m a 27 years old lady. I did a PPD at work and it was positive 35mm. Then I did a QTF-gold and the result was negative. My mother told me I had BCG at birth. Please help with these confusing result. Thanks, Regards
The PPD skin test was likely positive because some of the antigens in the PPD cross-reacted with those of the BCG vaccination you received shortly after birth. The blood test for TB that you had, the QTF-gold, uses only 2 or 3 TB antigens, none of which are in the BCG vaccine. The results you describe suggest that you have a false positive TB skin test, and that you are not infected with the TB germ.
You should not ever have another TB skin test (because repeating this would not give any more information in the future). Depending on your job and what state you live in, you may need periodic symptom screening or repeat blood tests for TB in the future. Your employee health advisor or doctor can tell you about the specifics of what screening you need, if any.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The Department of Workforce Development reports Indiana's unemployment rate dipped to 8.3 percent in May, down from 8.5 percent a month earlier, as the state's private sector added 9,000 jobs.
The agency says the increase in private sector jobs is the largest monthly increase in Indiana since February of 2012. Commissioner Scott Sander says most tangible employment measures seem to be trending in the right direction, saying that is cause for cautious optimism.
Sanders says Indiana has added 45,300 private sector jobs over the past year, more than a third of which have occurred since the start of 2013. He says 13 percent of private-sector growth over the past year has come from manufacturing.

How would you describe yourself?
I have read many profiles that include "self-stats" to describe themselves such as their profession, things they have or places they have gone etc etc but those are external and do not describe or define who they really are on the inside. So my internal qualities are I am compassionate, playful, creative, nurturing, loving, generous, giving and present.
I am comfortable in my own skin and knows that GOD created me as I am so I will not pretend to be someone else just to fit anyone's mold. I view myself a rare and beautiful gemstone... A sapphire to be exact who represents sincerity and faithfulness. I am not built like the supermodels you see on TV or in the magazines and that suits me just fine because when I look in the mirror I like what I see. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and the first person that must behold it is ME.
I am NOT the type of person that builds herself up by knocking others down. I am not one who belittles any man for not giving me what I want but who I am is the type of person who will roll up her sleeve to help get the job done. Material possessions do not fulfill my sense of self as I don't fall in love with "things" that can not love me back. I am a very down to earth person but I suppose everyone says that about themselves.. Lol.
I am looking for
We rarely know what we are truly looking for until we come across that special person that makes us have that ah ha moment... Finding true love requires a person to be vulnerable to some degree, if a person is unwilling to do that... Well good luck. Being in love takes your breath away, while being loveless makes it difficult to breathe. Love can give us strength. It also makes us weak in the knees. In order to experience the full spectrum of love, we must be available to receive; willing to lose; committed to stay; and open to know the truth about ourselves and love. We must live authentically; develop slowly; change radically and, under all circumstances, we must be non-judgmental about the lessons and opportunities to heal and grow that love may offer.
"Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly"
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~...

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, Nov. 30, 2008
Trattoria Milanese
THURSDAY WE REGRETFULLY ended a short sojourn in Milan with a meal on the via Santa Marta, where we were trying to find a trattoria we'd been to some years ago with a couple of friends. (One of them Marta, in fact, though not the saint, I'm afraid.) Googling for it I ran across the Trattoria Milanese, which seems to be on everyone's list, and I booked a table; when we arrived, we discovered the place we remembered was in fact across the street at No. 6 and was called Al Santa Marta. A man leaving the Trattoria said that Al Santa Marta was a restaurant; the Trattoria was a true trattoria, and specialized in traditional Milanese cuisine, so we stayed with our reservation. I opened with artichoke-and-Parmesan salad and went on to a costaletta Milanese; both were absolutely correct and perfectly ordinary; and I recalled yesterday's meal at Porta Rossa with regret. Could have gone back there!Vino bianco da tavola in caraffa
Rosé "Vin de Cigare", Bonny Doon Vineyards
A delicious dinner: and we do have things for which to be thankful.
And we are.

text: Never-made 1980s action figures turned Robin into Mad Max (and Batman into Lord Humungus)Cyriaque Lamar2/05/11 10:30amFiled to: Concept ArtBatmantweetComicsRobinSupermanWonder WomanToyAction FiguresCyborgfirestorm79EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkIn the 1980s, toy manufacturer Kenner produced the Super Power collection of action figures for DC Comics. In an effort to capitalize on the Mad Max craze, Kenner also drafted designs for a line of "anti-hero" toys that recast DC heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman as leather-sporting ruin dwellers. As you can see above, the designs were fairly over-the-top; note Batman's loincloth, Cyborg's vest of grenades, and Superman masquerading as the lead singer of Dead or Alive.AdvertisementYou can also see Kenner's plans for futuristic and robotic superheroes. As the design for "Robot Cyborg" attests, these mock-ups too were cockamamie. These designs are presently being auctioned off at Comic Link. If you're looking to expand your collection of Batman fetish art, these should do nicely.[Via Comics Alliance]

I know that many of us have, even if passively, thought about the meaning of Easter. This holiday is to mark the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified and rose again on the third day. When the disciples went to retrieve Jesus' body, they've come to find that his body was no longer at its resting place.
Now given what we all know of this telling in the bible, my question is at this point, like so many others before me, I ask; where the hell did the Easter bunny come in to play? I have nothing against coloring eggs, hunting for eggs, dressing up or visiting a church for that matter. But I pose a legitimate question; how did the world go from acknowledging the resurrection of Christ, to the more widely publicized Easter bunny? Now I can't really see the connection between the two icons. And my follow up question is, why would a shift in focus even take place?
It seems as though not many people even care about such a shift in consciousness. Many see this holiday as a day they can spend money on new outfits and dress up and go to church for their once a year blessing. And to note Easter falls on the first Sunday, which is a day most churches conduct the communion ceremony. What's the big deal you ask? Well, during the ceremony this bible verse is read:
1 Corinthians 11:26-28
" 26 for whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup; you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup."
How many of us rarely pay attention to that scripture? Service is so long on this day, that by the time they finish passing around the juice and crackers we are so hungry we just want to eat and drink just to keep the service moving so we can go get real food, not to mention look good in our new outfits. But if you're visiting a church in the first place, I'm certain you have some type of belief in the teaching of Christ. So in that state of mind, if we actually examined ourselves even to a minimal of standards, most of us would find that we are not worthy to take eat and drink of the body and blood of Christ; to "proclaim the lord's death until he comes."
So my charge to all is while you're sitting in the salons or barbershops, even at the mall or your favorite retail spot buying arts and crafts for your children. Think about the real reason for the day and try passing that knowledge on. Because this day is definitely NOT about a damn bunny rabbit, or chocolate Easter eggs and dressing up, it's about Christ. I'm just saying!

2011 Best Cities for Families
The top places to live, based on the quality of schools, affordable homes, low crime rates, jobs and parkland.
- ‹ prev
- next ›
- 1 of 11
- Capital Reigon USA
You want the best for your family, and that includes great schools, affordable homes, low crime rates, plenty of jobs and lots of parkland. So we crunched more than 8,000 bits of data in 84 categories to determine this year's top places to raise kids.
1. Washington, DC
The history, the government, the breathtaking architecture and inspiring monuments—you don't have to be a child to get an amazing education in this city. Our nation's capital is also known for its plenitude of museums—in fact, there are 44, second only to the Big Apple! If your kid enjoys visiting the National Air and Space Museum, imagine fostering his love of airplanes with trips to nearby Gravelly Point Park for front-seat views of the takeoffs and landings at Reagan National Airport. The Capital Crescent Trail, a hard-surface trail from Georgetown to Bethesda, MD, developed on an abandoned rail bed, is a great bike trip that is off the beaten track.Family dinner nights are easy at quirky local favorites like Matchbox restaurants or Busboys & Poets—both provide a place adults and kids can enjoy. And, of course, any child growing up in Washington, DC, will have a special place in his heart for the famous cherry blossoms and festival held each spring.

2. Austin, TX
It's no surprise that Austin kept its second-place ranking from last year—it's a way-cool progressive city in a warm and sunny climate. City pools stay open year-round, and the bass are always biting at Town Lake.The self-proclaimed Live Music Capital of the World, Austin also hosts the annual South by Southwest music, film and interactive festival. It's a mecca for innovators—Michael Dell launched his tech company here—and Samsung, Google and Facebook all have offices.
With an abundance of pediatricians, 27,000 acres of parkland and plenty of farmers markets and food co-ops, Austin is a well-rounded, healthy hometown.
- Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau
3. Boston, MA
Historic Boston made our Top 10 list for education and ranked high in our health category as well. Boston public schools spend a whopping $23,000 per student (the national average is $9,000), and the city is home to several world-class medical institutions, including Children's Hospital Boston and Brigham and Women's Hospital.Families can stay fit in Boston's many parks, such as the Emerald Necklace Conservancy, with beautiful paths to amble through. Also ideal for kids is the Back Bay Fens, a restored former saltwater marsh turned into an "urban wild" with community gardens, a playground and basketball courts. Then there's note-worthy Charles Street in Beacon Hill, the Boston Public Garden (which your kids will recognize from Make Way for Ducklings) and Fenway Park.
- City of St. Paul's Official Facebook page
4. Minnaeapolis—St. Paul, MN
The name "Minneapolis" means "city of lakes," and these twin metropolises have an extensive park and recreation system featuring all that waterfront property. Jogging and bike paths wind around 13 miles of shoreline, earning Minneapolis the designation of being a Bike Friendly City from the League of American Bicyclists.Also a cultural hot spot, Minneapolis is home to the Hennepin Theatre Stages, which hosts Kids' Nights performances (The Lion King debuted here before heading to Broadway). Or visit the stunning Gehry-designed Weisman Art Museum to inspire a child's interest in architecture.
The Twin Cities have their bases covered when it comes to pro sports—there are baseball, basketball, hockey and football teams—and education. Students here come in a close second behind Boston in reading and math scores.
- De Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau
5. Des Moines, IA
Iowa isn't just corn and politics. The city of Des Moines ranks in the Top 10 for both education and health, offering kids the opportunity to experience city life in the midst of America's farmland.Budding engineers or biologists will enjoy the Science Center of Iowa, and nothing beats the clear night skies of the Iowa plains for stargazing. Des Moines's low unemployment rate of 6.1 percent is partly due to big employers in the insurance industry, including The Principal Financial Group, which has made nine appearances on the Working Mother 100 Best Companies list.
Families can keep fit by walking the paved trails and attending free Yoga in the Park classes on Saturdays at Grays Lake Park.

6. Madison, WI
There's no shortage of affordable fun in Madison, which ranked third on our list last year. Madison gets the "green" light for loads of bike trails, lakes, food co-ops and farmers markets, including Dane County Farmers' Market at Capitol Square, held Saturdays at the foot of the statehouse.Hugging the banks of Lake Mendota, the University of Wisconsin campus provides museums, art and theater. Kids also dig the landmark Cave of the Mounds, full of fossils and gems.

7. Honolulu, HI
This tropical paradise is much more than just the center of Hawaiian culture, theater and music. Clean air, loads of sun and surf and state obesity rates well below the national average add up to a seriously healthy city for raising a family.The strong economy here is powered by tourism, the military, defense contracting and real estate, resulting in a practically nonexistent unemployment rate, the lowest property taxes on our list, and an easy under-23-minute commute.
Fourteen public schools have received the Department of Education Blue Ribbon School Designation for Excellence, and Honolulu had the lowest crime rate of our ten winners.
- Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau
8. Omaha, NE
Omaha moves up a notch from ninth place on last year's list, securing a spot in the top 10 for the second year. This quaint Midwestern city with the Missouri River winding through it has strong roots in Native American culture, as well as a historic African-American music scene, with a vibrant jazz presence.The cobblestone streets in downtown Omaha hark back to the past, but modern art peppers the landscape as well. Pick a sunny day and follow the Art Walk guide to the 22 installations throughout the downtown area. Add in strong schools and a thriving job market, and growing up in Omaha becomes an enviable proposition.

9. Seattle, WA
Want to raise a book lover? This hotbed of reading is the place, named one of the most literate cities in America.Seattle gets a bad rap for its rainfall, but the steady precipitation results in lush vegetation, earning Seattle the nickname "the Emerald City" and serving up plenty of locally grown goodness. And when the sun comes out, the weather is mild and perfect for heading to the nearly 5,500 acres of parks.
Companies like Starbucks and Amazon fuel the job market, and expectant parents are in luck because the state of Washington has expanded the Family Medical Leave Act to include businesses with only eight or more workers.

This member has provided no bio about themself...
Lot of mecha and decend maps collections. Though this mod has large range of gundam models. This mod lack of variety between model; Zasabi, The O, Kastriya almost same movesets. This mod still has lot of fault textures (laser sword mostly). Also, KD-06_0 and KD-06_2 without proper modifacation is overused In my opinion, script quality is one of the most important factors in modding. On the other hands, maps and mechs model quality are great. Also, overall interface is excellent. Finally, Overall unit seems to be balacnced.
So in summary
- script quality
- overused script
- wrong texture
+ great maps and mechs model
+ Beautiful Interface
+ Balance

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Graham: Dems 'Sleazy' Health Care Push May Freeze Up The Senate
Graham's pessimism suggests that--despite being a series of defeats in the past several days--Republicans haven't revisited their strategy of broad opposition to the Democratic agenda.
"The process that led to the passage of health care and the substance of health care, the consequences are not known in terms of the future of this body, between now and 2010 and thereafter," Graham went on.
And that, he says, carries over to other major issues as well. "I know that what they've done on health care in such a partisan fashion has made it very difficult to go to a tough issue because of the public outrage quite frankly. Immigration is not going to happen in the Senate. There is no desire to do immigration in the United States Senate in 2010."
"I don't want to be in the Congress where everything stops," Graham added. "I don't think it's smart for the Congress to just never do anything between now and November 2010. But the realistic effect of the way they've done health care is to make it hard to do anything at all controversial."
Climate change and immigration were always going to be difficult issues to address in the Senate. But Graham's statements stand in stark contrast to the prediction of Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, who said health care has convinced Republicans that it's time to play along.
"It was heartening to hear Harry Reid talk about immigration, which I thought would have had no chance at all. But apparently there's some renewed life," Dodd told reporters this morning outside of a press conference on health care reform. "I think, frankly, there are a number of Republicans who went along with the strategy of 'just say no' who were never really happy with it, but if it worked they would go along. They saw it fail. And now they've had enough of it. and they really want to be involved in crafting things."
Dodd's signature issue, financial regulatory reform, is sui generis--grassroots conservatives and liberals view it as a must-pass--and it may fare better in the Senate, where filibusters and 60-vote requirements have become the norm, than other pending matters.
But Graham--like Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) before him--seems to be telling Dodd and all Democrats not to count on any co-operation from this point forward...which basically puts us back where we were at the beginning of the 111th Congress.

Samsung Expected To Double Earnings From Galaxy Phone Sales
Reportedly, the company's next earnings call will reveal a $5.9 billion operating profit figure, representing a staggering 79% jump from a year ago. Earnings from mobile phones along "more than doubled" in the last quarter, with the larger-than-usual Galaxy Note helping tremendously. According to Matt Evans, a Seoul-based analyst at CLSA Asia- Pacific Markets, Samsung probably shipped around 50 million smartphones in Q2 -- that's a wildly huge number, no matter how you slice it. In fact, some analysts are suggesting that the toughest thing for Samsung isn't finding people to buy the phone; it's keeping it in stock.


text: SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices rose on Wednesday, pushing 10-year yields down a third day, as comments from politicians raised worries that Washington's inability to compromise on expiring tax and spending measures will slow the U.S. economy. It all comes down to "fears that this will drag on or be a real stumble - it was going to be at least a 1% GDP stumble anyway, but now people seem to be realizing it," said bond strategists at CRT Capital Group. "It will be hard to tolerate a selloff in Treasurys if we get to year end without a plan or even a temporary measure that allows Congress and the White House to extend the uncertainty into next year. That seems a fairly reasonable probability at this stage." Yields on 10-year notes TMUBMUSD10Y, +0.30% which move inversely to prices, fell 3 basis points to 1.61%. Coming up is data on U.S. home sales, a Treasury auction of 5-year notes TMUBMUSD05Y, +0.00% and the release of the Federal Reserve's Beige Book.

Brantley, Indians rough up Tanaka
CLEVELAND -- Michael Brantley did just about everything for the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
The first-time All-Star homered and had three RBIs and Nick Swisher hit a go-ahead two-run shot in the sixth, leading Cleveland to a 5-3 victory over Masahiro Tanaka and the New York Yankees.
The Indians stopped Tanaka's bid to become the major league's first 13-game winner. The rookie All-Star right-hander (12-4) allowed season worsts of five runs and 10 hits in 6 2/3 innings.
But the night belonged to Brantley, who hit a leadoff homer in the seventh and had RBI doubles in the first and fifth, raising his average to .328. He also ran down Derek Jeter's fly ball to deep center on the warning track in the first when New York scored twice.
"He's a pretty good player, and he's getting better," Indians manager Terry Francona said with a smile.
Brantley has 14 homers and 60 RBIs, both team highs. He also is tied for the AL lead with 10 outfield assists.
"He's a young player that's really developed into one of the better outfielders in the game all-around," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "And he showed why tonight. It's why he's an All-Star."
Brantley chose to focus on the win more than his personal performance.
"We did a great job as a team having quality at-bats all night," he said. "I was trying to get mistake pitches. I was lucky enough to get a couple of balls out over the plate and get good swings on them."
Tanaka, who lost for the third time in four starts, took a 3-2 lead into the sixth before Swisher, a former Yankee, put Cleveland on top.
"It was the first time we've ever seen him," Swisher said. "The first couple of at-bats you're kind of feeling him out. In that situation from the scouting reports and video we've seen, he loves that split-slider. When I got in that two-strike count, he'd been burying that split all day long. For me, I was just lucky enough for him to hang that one."
Lonnie Chisenhall started the sixth with a single. Swisher then homered on a 1-2 pitch.
Trevor Bauer (3-4) allowed three runs in seven innings and retired 13 of the last 14 hitters he faced. New York's only baserunner in that stretch came on Swisher's fifth-inning error. Bauer struck out six and walked two in winning for the first time since June 16.
Cody Allen pitched the ninth for his 10th save.
The Yankees were held to four hits, none after Brian McCann's one-out single in the third.
The Indians committed three errors, giving them a major league-high 75 for the season.
Swisher heard boos from the crowd earlier in the game after going 0 for 2 and having a routine groundball go through his legs.
Tanaka allowed a run in a 25-pitch first inning and gave up two hits in the second. He retired seven straight before allowing a run in the fifth when Brantley had a two-out double after Chris Dickerson led off with a single.
Tanaka struck out five and walked one.
"He did get on a roll in innings three, four and five and then the mistakes kind of caught up to him," Girardi said. "It happens, we know he's not going to be perfect, we understand that. We know how good he's been but we know he's not going to be perfect."
New York scored twice in the first on Mark Teixeria's RBI single and a throwing error by catcher Yan Gomes. Brett Gardner added a run-scoring groundout in the second.
Jason Kipnis started the first with a single, stole second and scored when Brantley doubled to right.
Gardner walked to start the game and moved to second on Jacoby Ellsbury's single. Dickerson attempted a diving catch of Teixeria's bloop hit, but the ball deflected off his glove and rolled toward center, allowing Gardner to score.
New York pulled a double steal when McCann struck out swinging. Gomes' throw to second went into center field and Ellsbury scored. Teixeria's stolen base was his first of the season.

Players thankful for Wildcat family
The idea of the Kansas State football team treating each other like family is not new.
Treating teammates as family is one of the traits head coach Bill Snyder tries to instill in each of his teams. Generally speaking, when the players care more about each other, the product on the field benefits.
Most teams talk about being a part of a football family that cares for them and wants what's best for them, but just as often this notion is overstated, bordering on cliché. Just look at teams with flashy players who are more focused on future seven-figure bonuses than their academic responsibilities. Or even with coaches who are on the wrong end of abuse allegations and mistreatment. Me-first attitudes and win-at-all costs mindsets don't typically foster genuine relationships.
With the Thanksgiving so near at Tuesday's press conference, the topic of thankfulness came up often with K-State players, and not surprisingly, the word family wormed its way into those conversations just as often.
"I am truly thankful," linebacker Arthur Brown said. "It's been a great journey. Just the process of growing together with the team has definitely been something that I will take with me and remember for the rest of my life. It's helped mold me as a person, and I think I'll continue to grow and develop from here."
Brown said the family atmosphere fostered at K-State takes a commitment from everyone.
"It starts with a group of guys wanting to share their lives with one another and everyone has definitely done that throughout this season," he said. "We've grown closer together and it has been proven that we are going to continue to do so."
Quarterback Collin Klein agreed.
"I'm amazingly thankful," he said. "It's a special group. It's a group that has been through a lot through our time here. We've come a long way, and it's a group that we truly care about each other in a pretty special way as brothers would, or family members would.
"We're still having fun, and that's important."
Kicker Anthony Cantele said the concept of teammates being family can sometimes be exaggerated, but with this group, those feelings are genuine.
"I am so thankful," Cantele said. "It's been an incredible experience. The most important thing to me is the friendships that I have made with these guys along the way. We always talk about family, and this is definitely a family atmosphere. That's never exaggerated."
Of course, the K-State players and coachers are thankful for more than just a great football team. The short break from Wednesday afternoon through Sunday is much appreciated by a group that has gone through the rigors of a long season with just one week off since September.
Some players mentioned seeing their actual families as the best part about Thanksgiving, while others pointed to seeing old friends back home or holiday hunting trips.
Snyder's answer?
"I'm just thankful to be alive," he said, laughing. "I've always been grateful for these kinds of opportunities, to have some kind of impact on the lives of young people. That's a special place to me, it truly is.
"I'm thankful to have been in Manhattan and been in Kansas and to be at Kansas State. I'm thankful for all the things I should be thankful for, and to have an absolutely amazing family is special — my own personal family and so many others that are a big part of it."


text: Radiohead Offers New Album For Whatever You Want to PayAdam Frucci10/01/07 10:21amFiled to: Digital DownloadsGadgetsMusic Industryin rainbowsRadiohead75EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Radiohead dropped a bomb on the music industry last night, announcing their new album In Rainbows. What's the big deal? Well, first of all, it'll be released in a mere 9 days, catching everyone off guard (it was expected sometime next year) and keeping the tracks from leaking to the web. Secondly, you'll be able to download the album from their official site for any price you want to pay. Yes, it's pay what you want, including free. Really. Advertisement If you want a physical copy, you'll need to drop a whopping $82 on the "discbox," which includes both CD and vinyl versions of the album, plus an additional CD/vinyl of more new songs, with the CD also including digital pictures and other such goodies. It also comes with a big photo/art book. That version also comes with the digital download, as the physical copy won't drop 'til December 3rd (the delay to help prevent leaks, presumably).What Radiohead is essentially doing is making piracy useless for their album. It won't leak, so you can't get it early by pirating. And, assuming they'll be selling high-quality MP3s as they do with all their other albums, there's no reason to avoid DRM by pirating. And, since it's essentially free if that's what you think it's worth, you won't save any money by pirating. By making this the best way to get the album, chances are good that people will actually, you know, pay for it, even though they don't have to. And since this is OMG Radiohead, you know boatloads of people are going to drop $82 on the collectors-item discbox, which is sure to help them make their ducats. Oh, did I mention they're doing this without a record label? Yes, that sound you just heard was the music industry collectively crapping its pants.

Essendon captain Jobe Watson says the AFL club's players want James Hird back as coach. Watson says the team doesn't feel Hird - who has been banned for 12 months for his role in last year's supplements saga - betrayed them.
"I don't think that's the right word," Watson told Fox Sports on Wednesday. "In hindsight, people made mistakes. And I think people have accepted responsibility for that.
"I don't think anyone set out to intentionally cause the situation we found ourselves in."
The Bombers have lost draft picks, been fined $2 million and been kicked out of this year's finals series. It means Saturday night's MCG clash with Richmond will be the club's last game of the season and the result will have no practical meaning for the Bombers who will place ninth on the season ladder. But Watson said the players were still determined to put in a decent effort.
"We'll play that game, we owe it to our fans, to the supporters of the AFL," said Watson. "We'll do that, and we'll go and plan and be ready for a good pre-season for 2014."
The Bombers have offered Hird a contract extension to return to the club after his ban and Hird wants to take up that offer.Watson said the players would support that move.
"It's obviously up to him and the club what they want to do," he said.
"As a playing group, we'll sit down - we want James to continue as coach.
"He has to decide if that's something he wants to do. "It's sort of an unprecedented situation for someone to sit out for 12 months and then return."

to John's Old Car
Truck Brochures and Ads
site contains brochures
most of the early
American car and
was fortunate enough to come across a large collection of
old ads for cars,trucks and accessories from the very beginning to around 1970.Like many of my pictures these were posted on alt.binaries.pictures.autos.Considering how successful "John's Old Car and Truck Pictures" has been I decided to share these old ads in much the same way. I have always enjoyed reading old ads on cars, car accessories or most anything else. Besides learning of the equipment that was available years ago we also got a feeling for how society thought at that time. Truth in advertising was not heard of yet and most anything could and was said about a product. Safety was becoming an issue especially in tires and many scare tactics were used. Above all else we had to protect our women and children from the evils of the motor car. Sex was also started to be used in advertising but in a very low key suggestive way Ethyl, the girl with the gasoline had some interesting lines. "Anything runs better with Ethyl" or " Just ask for Ethyl, I add snap to any car" And how could we drive anywhere without American Chains?? Just recently I received a large number from Leif Ericksson from Sweden of the Chrysler Airflow, Kaiser-Frazer and Henry J's. The Henry J page was made possible because of these new ads. I hope you enjoy them. The pages are comprised of old brochures from the birth of the automobile to up into the 1970's Like on all my web pages I invite any one to submit an old ad that can be added to these pages.

Hey sometimes it's better to be lucky than good , had a bow kill that was similar, aimed for the vitals but she jumped the string and ended up hitting her in the neck. In any case, good deer!

You might have missed shot but you still thankfully took her down quickly. Some times it is better to be lucky than good. Congrats.

Well, this is not shaping up to be a good day, with the futures on both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Averages currently locked limit down. The top 10 most active issues in pre-market Nasdaq trading are all down at least 7%. The drop has apparently been triggered by nasty drops overseas, with the Nikkei down 9.6% and London down 8.7%.
Well, at least it's Friday.

Raskin>>>>City Paper
City Paper Comments>>>>P&C
That's where it started. Josh Curry was there, along with a few other familiar names.
You are all a bunch of lame hypocritical a-holes at the Charleston Shitty Paper. "Let's trash this show while we make a dime off them". What a desperate joke you all are.
Carolyn Murray is also the most jacked news anchor. Look at those shoulders!
I hope Richard Todd comes back in someway. He was just a common sense guy.
I think shes great. I remember her when she did weekends on chan. 5. She's come along way
If you don't want Tara, send her back to Charlotte! We'll take her back in a second. Charlotte has become a talk radio wasteland.
I'm glad someone brought up Q and Storey. Here's the thing - they seem like nice enough guys, but their voices are identical; I've listened to them for years and still can't tell who is who. And whichever one gives little news tidbits gets flustered too often for it to be his full-time job. A typical story: "Yesterday in North Chalers... Charste... Yesterday, a man in cha... Chasterdon depo... ok... yesterday, a deputy in Narleston... North Carles..." After a while, I'm like "just forget it and move on". I will say though, kudos to those guys and Sherry for picking up the slack after Todd left. They did go above and beyond. I just wish Rocky D could get a gig with a wider audience. He's severely under-appreciated here in the lowcountry.
I just want someone to give me local news and views. Unfortunately, Charleston as a tertiary market just doesn't have the call-in IQ needed to support great radio, (see the current crop of 1st Dist candidates - and yes I am a native). All the people with whom I have had contact in local radio are nice folks, but all their shows lose me after about 30 mins. We can't expect Larry King from Bugtustle. Praise the Lord and pass the Dogma!
I completely disagree with this selection. Tara is no Ann Coulter by any stretch but she's no Richard Todd either. Her 'Liberal Latte' crack the other day sealed the deal for me. Richard was right of center and sure he'd get stuck on an issue or two but he was even in his contempt for both Liberals and Republicans. He understood that just because you call yourself a Republican doesn't mean you're a Conservative. Tara is just abrasive and loves to hear herself speak. I will always love John Quincy and Fred Storey but they can't keep me there. Charleston has a definite dearth of local talk radio talent. Hell, as much as I can't stand Rocky D, he's better than Tara any day and at least I can enjoy his show.

Hilarious. I often see specialty products released and in many cases do have superior performance to the current off-the-shelf competition and the decision is made NOT distribute through major sources so that all the profits can be maintained by the creator. Sounds reasonable...except:
What I do have a problem with is that it is not put out in to the market where competitive forces drive the price to something reasonable. Like, not 50-200% higher than similar products. While I certainly don't know their production cost, I suspect they are not double or triple. I could be wrong but the exclusive MLM marketing channel just has a very bad smell to it for me. So, I'm less likely to give them the benefit of the doubt. MonaVie is another example that comes to mind. $40 for a bottle of juice that you can get at Costco for $10.
On the original subject. Do the companies that do analysis give figures on the amount of contamination? I find it unlikely that there would be much viscosity breakdown in 3000 or even 5000 miles but I often wonder how much contamination (small abrasives) are in there. I get concerned when the color goes dark but that is not very scientific.
