Week 10 was just plain odd.
Two of the top three teams went down. The hapless Tennessee Titans not only won, they beat the tar out of the Miami Dolphins on the Dolphins' field. After looking inept for weeks, the Minnesota Vikings handled the Detroit Lions and then some. We had a tie. Four starting quarterbacks went down. Players still don't know what a tie is. The St. Louis Rams converted two fake punts, the first from their own end zone. Ties suck.
So what does all that add up to? Fluid Power Rankings. The shake-up includes a couple of anomalies, like the Green Bay Packers moving up two spots despite not playing and the Buffalo Bills ascending three steps following a loss. That's what happens when all the clubs all around those teams in last week's rankings get hammered. The benefits of being surrounded by ineptitude.
Speaking of ineptitude, some passion erupted on the old Twitter handle regarding who should reside at the 32-hole ...
@harrison_nfl Give the Chiefs credit. They just put the Steelers into OT. Madness will ensue if the Jags aren't 32nd in the power polls.â Autobot71Ironhide (@AutobotIronhide) November 13, 2012
Well, we saw how OT played out. Nonetheless, I'm still open to interpretation @Harrison_NFL.
Beyond that, here's the best we could do. Let the dissension come forth ...
(Note: Arrows reflect change in standings from last week's Power Rankings.)
PREVIOUS RANKINGS: Week 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1
Statement win by the Houston Texans in Chicago. There is no way this football team
cannot top the board. Outside of one mulligan -- when
the best quarterback in football went John Rambo on Houston
-- the Texans have been mostly stellar. Eight and one is 8-1, dogg.
Atlanta Falcons fans have been complaining for weeks that they don't get credit for being a dominant ballclub. If winning one-score games and losing to a 3-5 team is dominant ... then Atlanta is truly dominant.
Nice weekend for a bye, considering all the injuries on this club. Jordy Nelson's status definitely merits attention, but perhaps the most interesting case is that of Cedric Benson, who went down in early October at Indianapolis. How will the offense change when he comes back? Just when it appeared Green Bay would really start using him, Benson suffered a Lisfranc injury. He had nine touches in just over a quarter in that game against the Colts -- then he pulled up lame. Week 14 might be the earliest we see the veteran running back.
Here's hoping Jason Campbell is a better option than Caleb Hanie.
Well, 55-20 is one way to answer critics. Who knew the Baltimore Ravens had scheduled a game with ITT Tech this year?
David Akers is probably sick to his stomach after missing a potential game-winning kick in overtime from 41 yards out. That's makeable for most kickers, of course, but the miss was especially striking for Akers. He's now missed six field goals on the season, hitting just 70 percent of his kicks. We're talking about a first-team All-Pro kicker here. In fact, fellow 2011 All-Pro Andy Lee isn't having as strong a campaign as the San Francisco 49ers' punter, either.
Bill Belichick has to shore up the New England Patriots' defense. The unit produced three takeaways on Sunday -- huge turnovers -- but this defense still gets destroyed, particularly the back four. New England will win the AFC East, but as we look ahead toward the playoffs, big plays allowed in the passing game might be this team's undoing. Sound familiar?
Did you see Peyton Manning in Carolina? It's 29-7, with a hair over 10 minutes to play, and the future Hall of Famer is telling guys where to line up with such intensity that you'd think it was the 2006 AFC Championship Game. Unreal. Nice performance by coordinator Jack Del Rio's defense, by the way -- seven sacks for that group.
Much hand-wringing going on in the Pittsburgh Steelers' offices right now. Or maybe not. Ben Roethlisberger's injury is detrimental to the immediate future, but this franchise is as stable as it gets. Panic mode is not part of this club's M.O. Through 10 weeks of action, a case can certainly be made for Roethlisberger as the 2012 NFL MVP. On the flip side, give credit to an extremely underappreciated Steeler: Lawrence Timmons, who saved the day Monday night and is a heckuva football player.
The Seattle Seahawks continue to win, taking a healthy 6-4 record into the bye week. This is clearly the best team Pete Carroll has had in his three-year tenure in the Great Northwest, with a wild-card berth being a very real possibility. The key for a team that has so many youngsters playing significant roles is to not let the bye week affect momentum. In case you're wondering, here is Seattle's remaining sked: at Dolphins, at Bears, vs. Cardinals, at Bills, vs. 49ers, vs. Rams. 10-6, Seahawks fans?
Eli Manning will not get any free passes in this space. While he has two rings, he also has a penchant for having days like last Sunday in Cincy, when he was careless with the football. People forget that he turned the ball over 30 times in 2010. The New York Giants need him to play better football to do anything come playoff time. Luckily for the G-Men, both Philadelphia and Dallas have struggled. Still, Eli has gone three straight games without a touchdown pass.
Resilient performance from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Philip Rivers did whatever he wanted to do on their field in the first half, but whatever second-half adjustments Greg Schiano's staff made, they worked. Tampa picked Rivers twice in the fourth quarter and outscored San Diego, 17-3, over the final 30 minutes. Don't look now, but this club is 5-4 and in the thick of the NFC wild-card race.
If you're seeking a big reason for the Indianapolis Colts' success this season, look no further than third down. The Colts are seventh in the NFL, having converted at a rate of 43.6 percent -- truly shocking for a club with so many kids on offense. They're also tied for seventh in drives of 10-plus plays. Andrew Luck often extends drives with his legs; that's a key facet of his game, but one he's just now getting credit for.
Impressive win for the Minnesota Vikings, who desperately needed one after dropping two straight and three of the previous four. While I still feel Peyton Manning deserves the award for Comeback Player of the Year, holy cow, Adrian Peterson looks good! At 6-4, this team should pound the rock and play defense down the stretch. Weeks 12-14 loom large, as the Vikes play at Chicago and at Green Bay before hosting the Bears. That three-game stretch will determine any postseason possibilities.
Right when you write off the New Orleans Saints, they smack you upside the head. Beating the 8-0 Falcons on the strength of their defense was shocking. Did some folks predict a Saints upset in the Superdome? Sure. But most thought Drew Brees would have to bludgeon the Falcons' secondary for that to happen. That didn't really happen, although Brees had a good game. The two big sequences were a goal-line stand by Steve Spagnuolo's defense and a scintillating 56-yard touchdown run by Chris Ivory. New Orleans won three weeks ago with a big goal-line stop in Tampa Bay. A timely defense is often as effective as a dominant defense.
Cincinnati Bengals fans have been waiting for a performance like Sunday's win over the Giants for a loooooong time -- particularly from the defense. Mike Zimmer is one of the most widely respected coordinators in the league, but a mixture of injuries and poor play had this unit mired in mediocrity. Not on Sunday. A swarming pass rush overwhelmed Eli Manning most of the day and potentially saved the season for the Bengals.
While we shouldn't characterize Minnesota's home win over the Lions as an upset, it was surprising how easily the Vikings handled Detroit's offense, particularly Matt Stafford. Why so shocking? Because much of the Lions' offensive struggles have been rubber-stamped with the " Calvin Johnson is struggling" theorem. Well, Megatron put up a 200-spot in the stat column and the club still lost by 10. Unlike in the previous four weeks, the running game gave Detroit very little, putting up 60 yards on 17 carries.
Take the game film and chuck it, Joe Philbin. There is little value in those three hours, and a lot of garbage -- starting with Reggie Bush's early fumble. Ryan Tannehill looked more like a rookie than he has at any other point this season. The defense struggled. Then there's the turnovers. Ugh.
The Diamondbacks have won more recently than the Cardinals. That aside, the great thing about the bye was that the losing streak was delayed for a week.
The only thing worse than a tie would have been if the St. Louis Rams had blown a chance to win the game with a knucklehead illegal-formation penalty. Thank God that didn't happen.
Philip Rivers' San Diego Chargers offense was rollin' early on Sunday. Even Antonio Gates looked like Antonio Gates, catching balls downfield, scoring a touchdown ... then wot happened? Two fourth-quarter interceptions killed San Diego, with a pick-six on the first possession of the final period being the most important play of the game. Down 24-21, Rivers inexplicably threw the ball to Leonard Johnson. What an awful decision. THROW IT AWAY!!
The Tennessee Titans made a statement that speaks volumes about head coach Mike Munchak. These dudes don't quit. A week after getting their butts handed to them by the Bears (by a tally of 51-20), the Titans forced turnovers and imposed their will on the Dolphins at Sun Life Stadium. The other storyline emanating from Miami on Sunday was the return of Jake Locker. To be accurate, the second-year quarterback's return wasn't as fantastic as many made it out to be. Locker tossed two touchdown passes, but went just 9-for-21 for 122 yards.
If this truly is the end of the Andy Reid era in Philly, or close to it, then we should note what a successful era it's been. The Philadelphia Eagles have gone to the playoffs nine times, making five NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl under Reid. That's not too shabby. Dick Vermeil took the club to the playoffs three times in seven years, making one NFC title game and one Super Bowl. That Super Bowl wasn't competitive, either. From a non-Pennsylvania native's perspective, Vermeil seems to be more beloved. Hit me up at @Harrison_NFL if I'm seeing this wrong.
Here's hoping the bye week gave the Shanahans an opportunity to incorporate more run/pass rollouts in the game plan, unlike the fourth-and-goal play that figured so prominently in the loss to the Carolina Panthers. Providing Washington Redskins receivers with more time to use the JUGS machine is never a bad thing, either.
Fitting that the 37-31 loss in New England essentially ended on a Ryan Fitzpatrick interception. The Amish Rifle's first giveaway -- a first-quarter fumble -- forced the Buffalo Bills' subpar defense to try to stop New England from the 13-yard line. That didn't happen. Fitzpatrick now has 15 turnovers in nine games, and it's killing his football team. This is not to say that he didn't play well in New England. But 337 yards and two touchdowns aren't enough to compensate for his giveaways and a defense that can't stop anybody.
We got the Cam look on the sideline in Charlotte on Sunday. It's hard to blame the guy. His outside receivers couldn't get open, while his offensive line failed to hold the fort. Newton's wicked athleticism could only go so far in quelling the pressure from Denver's front seven (which got to Camchise seven times). All the good vibes from the clutch road win in Washington went the way of the dodo bird.
Sure am glad the Tim Tebow critics out there still think the New York Jets don't need to press the panic button by going to the game's most famous backup. "He's not a real quarterback, he's a fullback," you can hear them say. A fullback, huh? Mark Sanchez has completed less than 50 percent of his passes in five different starts this season (a league high). So, what's he?
The Oakland Raiders tied a franchise record by giving up 55 points in Baltimore, and that's saying something. For all of its success as a franchise over the decades, this organization had some poor teams in the 1960s, the late 1990s and over the past decade. Dennis Allen's defense is getting clobbered repeatedly. Baltimore gained 419 yards a week after Tampa Bay rolled up 515 on the Silver and Black. The Raiders have now allowed 400-plus yards in five games. They've played nine.
My Cleveland Browns source tells me Greg Little has gotten better of late, even when it comes to catching the football. The numbers bear it out. In the first five games, Little was targeted 27 times, catching just 11 passes. But over the last four, he's hauled in 16 of the 24 passes thrown in his direction. If he and rookie Josh Gordon continue to evolve on the outside, Cleveland really could have some dangerous toys for Brandon Weeden. (No Dangerous Toys reference implied here.)
The Kansas City Chiefs get a bump for a) not folding their tents (cognizant of the lousy pun, but not changing it, because we're 2,000-words deep), b) almost stealing a game against a superior team on the road, c) being more talented than the Jags, d) getting Jamaal Charles more involved, e) rediscovering a tight end once referred to as " Tony Moeaki," and f) having a quarterback who can win games. ... Well, for the other team. Still, nice to see you compete, K.C.
While Blaine Gabbert has shown some toughness, the offense looks flat-out dysfunctional. Whether it's Gabbert's growing pains, the Jaguars' play-calling or Rashad Jennings' ineffectiveness, Jacksonville Jaguars fans are being untreated to lousy football, and it's a shame. Thursday night's game never seemed much like a game at all.

Baseball Names Ken Knutson Pitching Coach
Jan. 8, 2010
TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State baseball has named Ken Knutson as the program's pitching coach, head coach Tim Esmay announced today. Knutson joined the ASU baseball program in July after spending the previous 17 seasons as the head coach at the University of Washington.
During Knutson's time at the helm of Washington, he compiled a career record of 584-399-2, including a 240-189 record in Pac-10 play. He is Washington's all-time leader in coaching victories and won four Pac-10 Northern Division titles and two overall Pac-10 titles during his tenure. He led the Huskies to six NCAA Tournaments and was three times named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year (1996, 1997 and 1998).
Knutson coached 31 All-Americans at Washington, including 2006 Golden Spikes Award winner and current San Francisco Giant Tim Lincecum, as well as closers Will Fenton and Buck Merrick. Merrick is the school's all-time leader in saves with 31, while Fenton is second with 23, including the 2003 season where he did not allow a run while recording 12 saves. While at Washington, Knutson spent much of his head coaching career as the UW's pitching coach, coaching at least one All-Pac-10 pitcher every year he served in that capacity.
Prior to being named Washington's head coach in 1993, Knutson spent nine seasons with the Huskies as both a player and an assistant. In 1981, the lefty Knutson compiled a 5-2 record with a 2.89 ERA, helping lead Washington to the Pac-10 Northern Division title, their first since 1959. He was a First Team All-Pac-10 selection that season after transferring from Seattle University, where he was an all-league performer.
From 1982 to 1986, Knutson was in charge of the Husky pitching staff, including the 1985 season when UW led the nation with a 2.80 ERA. After coaching semi-pro ball in the Seattle area, Knutson returned to Washington as the lead assistant coach and pitching coach from 1990 to 1992 before being named head coach.

Puppy Linux community repo is active on sourceforge
If you want access post here or pm me I will add people that i have seen to be active in the puppylinux community like tempestuous whodoo Dougal raffy etc... also i will add anyone that is recommended
the following users have access now
raffy = raffymn
ttuuxxx = ttuuxxx
whodo = ...
lobster = crustylobster
mysticmarks = ...
This is mainly for stuff like puppyscripts grafburn pfind etc... at the moment but may eventually and hopefully contain scripts to build puppy completely and automatically using either T2 or slackware as a base. This is not for uploading binary packages only source.
thoughts/comments welcome since that is kinda the whole point of this post.
also my internet connectivity is limited for this week next week back to normal
Edit: you must be registered on sourceforge.net first then pm me your unix name

Thanks, Chase.
Maybe I've become a member of the group because I already have an account at sourceforge and I visited the URL earlier.
I wonder if simply having a sourceforge account will enable one to join. Do people have to first PM you with their sourceforge username?

this is a great idea, and I'm slightly amazed that no-one in the Puppy community thought of it before ... a single, secure public repository of source code for non-BK stuff that's currently lying about in dozens (?hundreds) of forum posts and various servers worldwide would be wonderful.

Somewhere in the archives is the story of how Puppy (from the start) was going to be hosted on Sourceforge.
. . . only they did not think it was opensource or even Linux come to that . . . .
So they refused to host Puppy. Who remembers the story?
. . . we got there eventually. Thanks guys
We are Puppy. Resistance is futile. Prepare to be assimilated.

Yeah, I was the one who originally applied to sourceforge. What happened was someone from sourceforge replied asking for more details about the uniqueness of Puppy, but I didnt read my emails until about 2 days after that email and in the meantime someone else from sourceforge sent a very short email that as I had not responded to their query that were rejecting my application.
Anyway, I sent in a more detailed explanation, but it was ignored.
So that's great, as you now have sourceforge as a repo, that means perhaps I'll just keep my own ibiblio.org account for my planned future puplet. Ibiblio do mirror sourceforge, so you will be getting hosting with them anyway.
Note, I do have Puppy listed at freshmeat. I think they can also do hosting, but I never followed up on that.

I was very specific that this repo was for the "puppy build system" and other puppy scripts which is exactly what it is ...
they also asked some pretty specific questions which i will upload my answers to when i get a chance
also I am having trouble using SVN I have never set one up myself but have checked out of them many times... which is pretty easy would somebody mind explaining how to get this going I mean im sure i can figure it out eventually but help is apreciated
another thing i and the other people so far should be able to log in to the command shell for the repo (this is where i was attempting to add some directories to the SVN as a proof of concept you just login to it with ssh or putty on windows/wine)
the directory structure i propose is this /puppylinux/pupapps/majorversion/minorversion
like this /puppylinux/pupapps/3/1 whould be an app that works perfectly on puppylinux 3.1
the reson for that is because due to version changes in apps like gtkdialog some apps break

So.... what is it? What's it do? Why do we need it? How will we use it?
Would I be right in thinking it can support multiple projects, so that I could (for example) have a section in the svn for Pebble, with download links for the various versions and nightlies, and BruceB could have one for an especially ram-oriented Puppy?
Is this something we'd also want to use for storing the unleashed tree? Or would that be too massive (think 500 MB to start, and more as files get modified into newer versions)). Maybe just for particular packages that require substantial Puppy-mods (0rootfs_skeleton in particular, but also all those p* packages and maybe rox)?
How much overall space do we get? What about per project? How many projects can it handle? Or is it a "just don't do anything excessive, and we won't give you hard limits" type deal? Prove your worth and you get as much as you need?
Sorry for all the questions. I've never used Sourceforge before (other than downloading stuff), or even SVN at all (though SVN has been on my to-do list, as I suspect it will make my life much easier if I want to make a very large project on my own or collaborate on anything but a minor project).

Post subject: structure
There is an introduction page here:
The essential content should be sources, and binaries/build trees should be extra.
I guess the problem at the moment is coming up with a simple but functional structure for the project repository. Pizzasgood's ideas about this will be a big help as he has a good understanding of Puppy's core.

Funny that, I just found that & posted a link to it, the other day, though it seriously needs updating, over a year ago last done
Also listed is Eric Veenstra's Qemu, also over a year since updated
Could these projects be tandem'd somehow?
It would be good to see other puppy official versions, derivatives, and a timeline, in the freshmeat site
What say, additional admins maybe, Barry?

Okay then. I downloaded and installed the latest SVN on my machine last night so I could play around with it. Meant to do this sooner, but I had some other things I needed to take care of first. Anyways, SVN is a little different from what I'm used to, but I think that if used properly it will be very useful.
The problem is that what we need most is a revision control system that can contain the entire unleashed tree. As I understand it, this is beyond what SF is willing to let us do.
Distributions: software and Operating System distributions will generally not be accepted for hosting on SourceForge.net. These project types duplicate content that is available elsewhere and use massive amounts of resources. We will host them if an alternate host can be found for the project content (SourceForge.net services can be used for bug tracking, mailing lists, web site, etc.; File releases should be hosted elsewhere).
Frankly, I don't blame them. We're talking about 700 MB just to start, and it will only grow from there. No I'm not kidding, the extracted unleashed tree has over 600 MB worth of packages, and 50-70 MB worth of drivers, firmware, and other kernel-related stuff.
My firm belief is that we need a server where we can run SVN or GIT or some other system, with the entire unleashed tree (but split in two - the packages would not be inside the unleashed-core area, or checking out unleashed-core would be a pain). This way everything is together. We can fix bugs, branch a package and do major changes and merge it back in, branch off the entire tree to make a custom version, etc. When we're ready for a release, we'd tag that revision as version X.X, and then just continue on our merry way, fixing bugs. If people want the bug fixes they can grab them from SVN fairly easily (we'd want to have it world-readable, just not world-writable). Otherwise they can wait until the next version, or possibly a revised edition. In fact, I imagine it wouldn't be hard to grab just the changes, put them into a .pet or .pup, and upload it as a service package.
Anyways, I just don't think SF is going to cut it for us, in this respect. What I do think SF will be good for is for those packages that have not yet been accepted into the official Puppy tree. (Which I think is what cb88 was thinking.) Things like Pebble, if I wished to put that online (I don't ATM, but if I ever take it to version 2.0 I probably will). That way group projects could work more easily, people can check eachother's code, etc. If a project is eventually accepted into official Puppydom, it could simply be dumped out of SF's SVN and imported into the Official Puppy SVN. If I understand things correctly, this should also preserve the package's history from the SF SVN.
I think that would work out pretty well. It would help keep the official repo clean, while giving the in-development stuff a place to be worked on. For the people actually developing it, the transition would just mean adjusting some of the paths they use. Nothing major.
So, if I understand things right, we need to start figuring out where to put this official Puppy revision-control-server. We also need to weigh the pros and cons and decide what revision-control-software to use. So far SVN looks pretty good, but that's the only one I know anything about. I know that the Kernel is done with GIT. What benifits does GIT have over SVN? These are things we need to look into. I would go do that now, but I have other stuff I need to do. Maybe later tonight or tomorrow I'll see what GIT is all about.
We're also going to need to work out who will have access, who will decide who has access, etc. That is the part that will become hairy.
Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

Pinch hitter Mike Carp's bloop single to left in the eighth inning dropped just beyond the glove of Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado, scoring Jarrod Saltalamacchia from second base with the tiebreaking run and lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 4-3 win over the Orioles on Wednesday night.
Pinch hitter Mike Carp's bloop single to left in the eighth inning dropped just beyond the glove of Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado, scoring Jarrod Saltalamacchia from second base with the tiebreaking run and lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 4-3 win over the Orioles on Wednesday night.
Shane Victorino drove in a run for Boston with an RBI single after collecting a career-best seven RBIs and hitting two homers in a 13-2 win on Tuesday night. Craig Breslow (4-2) got two outs to earn the win and Koji Uehara got his 14th save with a perfect ninth for the AL East-leading Red Sox, who won their fourth straight.
Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 47th homer and added an RBI double for Baltimore, which lost for the sixth time in its last eight games.
Saltalamacchia hit a two-out double high off the left-field wall against Tommy Hunter (3-3) and Stephen Drew was walked intentionally before Carp's bloop fell just past the glove off Machado in short left field.
The Red Sox rallied against Baltimore's bullpen, tying it 3-3 on Dustin Pedroia's two-run single off Darren O'Day in the seventh. Jacoby Ellsbury barely beat center fielder Adam Jones' throw to the plate, sliding in before a sweeping tag attempt by Matt Wieters.
Ellsbury left the game for a defensive replacement in the top of the eighth. During his seventh inning at-bat, he fouled a ball off his right foot.
With the Orioles leading 2-1 in the sixth, Davis belted a leadoff homer into Boston's bullpen.
The Orioles had grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first on Davis' RBI double into the right-field corner after Machado singled. They made it 2-0 in the third on Machado's homer over the Green Monster.
Baltimore starter Bud Norris held Boston to one run and four hits, striking out seven and walking four over 5 1-3 innings. He lost to the Red Sox when he was with Houston on April 28, giving up five runs in six innings.
Boston's John Lackey lasted 7 1-3 innings, giving up three runs, seven hits, striking out four and walking one.
The Red Sox cut it to 2-1 on Victorino's RBI single in the third, but they left the bases loaded when David Ortiz struck out swinging and Daniel Nava was called out on strikes.
Ortiz, mired in a 0-for-18 slump, flew out to the left-field track twice in four at-bats. After the second one, which was caught in the corner for the final out of the fifth, he stood at first base for a while, looking toward the outfield before slowly walking to the dugout and slamming his helmet.
NOTES: Orioles DH Wilson Betemit made his first start of the season after being sidelined since late March with a sprained right knee ligament and went 0 for 3. ... Ellsbury stole two bases, leaving him one short of 50 for the third time in his career. ... Boston manager John Farrell said RHP Clay Buchholz, on the DL since early June with a strained neck, will make his second rehab start Friday, pitching for Triple-A Pawtucket, and his third start "could be" in the majors. ... The Orioles recalled touted prospect Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk before the game and optioned left-hander Wei-Yin Chen to their Gulf Coast League affiliate. Manager Buck Showalter said "service time" allowed the club to send Chen to Sarasota, Fla. He's scheduled to make his next start Sunday at New York against the Yankees. "Initially, I think he was thinking because he had a bad start last night that we were sending him to the Gulf Coast League," Showalter said. "That wasn't the case at all. His service time allowed us to send him there. He understands." ... The umpires who worked the game — Marvin Hudson, Wally Bell, Tim McClelland and Marty Foster — visited Boston's Children's Hospital earlier in the day as part of the UMPS CARE Charities. ... RHP Chris Tillman (14-4, 3.66 ERA) goes in the series finale against Boston LHP Jon Lester (12-7, 3.97 ERA). ... Family members of MIT Police officer Sean Collier, who was allegedly killed by the Boston Marathon bombers, threw out ceremonial first pitches.

As a not-for-profit credit counselling agency, we've helped more than half a million people get out of debt.
Talk to a trained credit counsellor to evaluate your current situation.
Identify the right debt solution for your needs.
Develop a payment plan that fits your budget, so you can stop struggling to keep up with your bills.
When necessary, we'll negotiate with creditors to reduce or eliminate interest charges so you can get out of debt faster.
3 years ago I found myself with overwhelming credit card debt of over $45,000. I really didn't know what I was going to do. With Consolidated Credit, all my debts were rolled into one payment with little or no interest. I don't know where I would be today if not for this program!
It's so great to think I've just about done my time. If that sounds like a prison sentence it's because that's what this was for me. I put myself into a debt prison but you all have helped me achieve my goals. Thank you, Consolidated Credit
With this amount of debt, you'd pay around $ on a Debt Management Program.(844) 325-8443
This estimate compares paying your credit card debt on your own vs. the potential benefit of using a Debt Management Plan through completion. IT'S NOT AN ACTUAL QUOTE. Estimate is based on 2.1% of your balance owed. Actual interest rates will vary by consumer and creditor – yours could be higher or lower. Consolidated Credit might be able to reduce your interest rates and late fees allowing you to pay off your credit card debt quicker (since more payments are applied to your principal balances, saving you lots of money in the long run). To complete the program, you must make on-time payments each month. Late or missed payments may cause your program to be cancelled and in that event, this estimate would not apply to you.

How can anyone find making fun of obesity entertaining? It's not, some can't help the way they are. I am shocked and appalled how people make fun of fat people.
[Edited by Moderator on 10/24/2012 9:50:22 AM]
Fat Britney Spears looks far better than the skinny celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie.
[Edited by Moderator on 2/22/2007 3:56:12 PM]
As someone who has battled weight in the past, I don't view my fattening of women as "making fun". I actually think many of them look better/more normal after I've added a few pounds. I just think it's fun to see what so-called "perfect" celebs would look like if they were less "perfect". It makes the "god-like" seem more human.
[Edited by Moderator on 10/22/2012 7:30:11 PM]
I agree with angelface of Independents, it is not nice or funny to make fun of fat people. I do not know of any overweight person who enjoys being heavy and if they had a choice I am sure they would not choose to be overweight or labeled. However, I am also a junkie when it comes to the E channel. I found these photos amusing because they bring humor to the fact that our society is ignorant, studies prove that women are treated differently according to their appearance rather then their hard work and talents.
[Edited by Moderator on 10/22/2012 7:32:46 PM]
Sadly, very true. We humans have a tendancy towards valuing the trivial and ignoring the things that truly matter.
Beauty is a wonderful thing, but we should not lose sight of the fact that it is not the only thing. Nor the fact that thin does not necessarily equal beauty and fat does not necessarily mean ugly. As is said, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
[Edited by Moderator on 9/27/2007 7:10:58 AM]
To be honest I appreciate that some fat women enjoy being full figured, but is it not, at the end of the day, a weakness and do they simply eat too much and not take enough exercise? Weight balance is not rocket science. Put in too much and you will gain weight, eat and exercise responsibly and you will continue to look like a human, and not a whale. And who will end up paying when obese people become a burden on the medical services. It's irresponsible.
[Edited by Moderator on 10/24/2012 7:22:01 PM]
Well, I think it's a person's choice to either pick up that burger and fries. but, it's not surprising that someone has to always be offended or threatened when somebody happens to challenge their viewpoint of things. This is simply one person's idea of Britney and I think it's a lot healthier than any skinny woman.
[Edited by Moderator on 10/21/2012 8:14:46 AM]
I think that most fat woman are healthier than all skinny woman.
[Edited by Moderator on 9/28/2011 12:52:13 AM]
After reading these comments, I realized how little people know about women and weight. Being constantly bombarded by images of ideal beauty has disastrous implications for our self esteem. We are constantly worried about our weight - whether we are too fat or too skinny - and it isn't a surprise why 1 in 5 women have an eating disorder. But if we think of any little abnormality towards eating than 4 out of 5 women would have an eating disorder. This could be bulimia, anorexia nervosa, or even compulsory eating disorder. These are psychological disorders towards eating. Calling most people who are fat as being "lazy or greedy" completely overlooks genetics. Some people are genetically inclined towards heaviness. In addition, some people have eating disorders not just because of the media but because of other oppressive circumstances - a response towards different forms of oppression. I think we should focus on the psychological, emotional, and physical well-being of all individuals across various genders and quit trying to make a competition for women based on arbitrary terms of beauty when only a small percentage of us are genetically inclined towards "model-like" thinness. Maybe we should have the media move more towards talent, mind, and intellectual contributions. Men are always portrayed as smart, intellectual, rich, and powerful or aggressive and promiscuous. Why not level out the playing field so that women have better representation?

how can someone have the audacity to destroy tom cruise's beautiful features. then again had tom taken a role requiring him to gain weight, he would have done it in a flash. but this way is a little degrading and i would have perferred not to be submitted to that image. I Love Tom Cruise for as long as i can remember....don't ruin it for me!!!

Now THAT'S funny! Best double-chin so far!
Ditto Hendronix on the chin! One critique: Britney Spears chest (and belly/waist, less so) need a bit more fattening to even out the proportions.

Great job! Love this one. I thought I had a fairly good handle on PhotoShop, but how the heck do you make someone fat? I don't even know where to begin.

This contest is fueled by the following news: Doctor Udo Pollmer stated that diets can be senseless. He refuted the ideals of model beauty and mentioned that fat people live longer. In an interview to newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine, he informed that many people become obese by using sweetener in food and non-fat products. He reiterated that our organism interprets it as threat to hunger. Calories supply energy to mind, make possible mobile activeness and "heat" the organism. If the food is insufficient, then the organism itself makes up for the shortage and accumulates thicker fat layer. "Look at the Americans: One third of the population is always on diet however, people will not become slimmer due to the diet" opines dietitian. He stated that, as on date more than 100 reasons are known according to which a person accumulates weight: Infectious agents, causing obesity, genetic deviations and hormonal disorders. The more stress on fat people, the more obese they become, since stress and bad moods lead to situation, where people cling onto food as if it is a life buoy. The so called "battle with obesity" is calculated income for dieticians and public health departments. Udo Pollmer noted that, "Fat" becomes the best life insurance for elderly persons since they tend to loose weight during illness. High rate of mortality is observed not in the case of fat people but in thin (lean) people. In recent times, opinion about the necessity of being well-built is constantly stressed-upon. On a beach, girl with ideal figure is always noticed and followed by eyesight. Close associates, noticing her take snacks, once again remind possible disfiguring problems. What to do, if you indeed, do not try to fight obesity? Concept "Slim Stout" is very subjective. Nevertheless, strict social beauty rules prosper: We are forced to accept slim people as normal, normal people for chubby, and chubby for openly stout. Survey, conducted amongst the French women, showed that beauty norms for many is a 14 year girl And at the age of 20, not every one can accept the way she looks like! As a matter of fact, obesity problem is not so much aesthetic as much as psychological. According to the opinions of psychologists, these are the qualities, inherent to persons, suffering from obesity: - It is easy for them to avoid seduction during association with opposite sex (It is frequently noticed that, people put-on weight immediately after marriage); - As a rule, they feel morally strong persons (They constantly check their emotions and sometimes leading to nervous disorders); - Often, they possess reputation of being intelligent obliging persons and it is very difficult for them to say "NO" to other persons; they need more love and affection than anybody else and very painfully take critics in their own stride. Under the guidance of Gregory Simon, scientists destroyed the already prevalent stereotype that fat people are jolly. It is ascertained that, fat persons are more vulnerable to depressions and mood swings, informs journal Archives of General Psychiatry. 9125 adults took part in the survey, conducted by the members of Group Health Cooperative. Specialists had interviewed all the volunteers and estimated their psychological condition. According to the inputs of volunteers, such as weight and height, scientists judged the presence of fat (obesity). Survey results indicated that, people with obesity problems experience anxious and emotional disorders including depression 25 % more than the others. At the same time, fat people very rarely (by 25%) abused of alcohol and narcotics in comparison with other well-built brothers. Researchers are yet to come to a conclusion whether depression is a reason or consequence of obesity since both the variants are completely possible. It is known that, physical activity decreases in the persons, suffering from depression. Apart from this, drugs, used for the treatment of depression, can augment the weight. On the other hand, fat people, more often, become the object of gibes by society, which reflect on their moods. Both depression and as well as obesity are widely spread. Approximately, one-third of American adults suffer from obesity and depression is diagnosed in 10% of population (approximately 21 millions). The presence of estrogen in female organism is the not only reason for easy gain of extra weight. But still, diet becomes an obsession for majority of women. I do not know, for example, a woman who does not go on a diet at least once in a life & majority of women put themselves on dieting for a minimum of 2 - 4 times in a year. Low calorie diet -strangely enough, best friend of a female's fat cell. If women realized the harm, which they pose to the organism, they would never try to put themselves on diet. Once the fat cells begin to understand that calorie input in organism has decreased, they induce the lipogenetic enzymes to start functioning. Unfortunately, steatolytic enzymes do not figure in the "activated" enzyme list. Diet increases the size of your fat cells & forces them to accumulate fat more actively or burn it more slowly. In men, fat cells react differently to the decreased calorie intake. When the man goes on a traditional low-calorie diet, he activates the steatolytic enzymes & successfully loses weight. Woman, even if grows slim after diet, they have the tendency to gain weight quickly, which can be even more than the weight, before going on diet.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hit the red carpet at the premiere of his latest film World War Z on Monday evening (July 29) in Tokyo, Japan.
Earlier in the day, the 38-year-old actress looked beautiful while attending a screening of her film In the Land of Blood and Honey. At the screening, Angelina spoke out against sexual violence.
"This is just a beginning," Angie said (via the NY Daily News). "Our aim must be to shatter impunity, so that rape can no longer be used as a weapon of war anywhere in the world as it was in Bosnia, and as it is today from Congo to Syria."
"When I started down the road, making this film, I thought only of telling a story and doing my best to try to give a voice to survivors," she said. "But today I am here not only as a director, but as a campaigner, and a part of a global effort that is growing every day."

A historic winter storm is expected to pound the Northeast in the coming day.
What makes this storm so severe?
Wunderground's meteorologist Shaun Tanner says that the storm system is really the combination of two different storms.
A cold weather system coming out of the Midwest Thursday is expected to merge with a second storm moving up the Eastern half of the United States. The two storms are supposed to marry late Friday, bringing heavy snow and winds gusts of up to 75 mph.
"As much as one to two feet of snow is forecast from the New York City metro area to Maine, with localized heavier amounts possible," according the latest alert from the National Weather Service.
Massachusetts, including Boston, into northeast Connecticut and up into Maine, will see the heaviest snow amounts, according to the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). But New Yorkers should also prepare for up to one foot of snow.
The snow is expected to begin Friday morning in southern New England, including Boston and northeast Connecticut. Heavy rain could change over to heavy snow along the southern New England Coast by Friday night and continue into Saturday morning.

The REG101 is a family of low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators with low ground pin current. Its new DMOS topology provides significant improvement over previous designs, including low dropout voltage (only 60mV typ at full load), and better transient performance. In addition, no output capacitor is required for stability, unlike conventional low-dropout regulators that are difficult to compensate and require expensive low ESR capacitors greater than 1µF.
Typical ground pin current is only 500µA (at IOUT = 100mA) and drops to 10nA when not in enabled mode. Unlike regulators with PNP pass devices, quiescent current remains relatively constant over load variation and under dropout conditions.
The REG101 has very low output noise (typically 23µVrms for VOUT = 3.3V with CNR = 0.01µF), making it ideal for use in portable communications equipment. Accuracy is maintained over temperature, line, and load variations. Key parameters are guaranteed over the specified temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
The REG101 is well protected—internal circuitry provides a current limit which protects the load from damage. Thermal protection circuitry keeps the chip from being damaged by excessive temperature. The REG101 is available in the SOT23-5 and the SO-8 packages.

Antonius Felix: dead. Dies while getting Spendusa on a boat.
Mus: dead. Turns out to be Christian. Dead nonetheless.
Menander: survives. I don't know how, maybe on some errand.
Calatoria: dead, dead, dead. Probably the whole mountain crashes down upon her (while she rallies the Gladiators in Pompeji to her aid).
Speudon: dead, even before the volcano goes boom. Brought down as a scapegoat by Calatoria in her attempt to get away with her ordered muggings.
Mus' father: dead. Does something noble before he dies, either forgiving Antonius or accepting that his son is gay. or both.
Sejanti: dead. Struck down by something falling from above.
Spendusa: survives, with both her son and Antonius' stepson.
Petronia: dead. Probably after some struggle with a madly love-struck Antonius and her own destiny, the part of the mountain that doesn't fall upon Calatroria is heaped upon her.
Pliny the elder: dead (cameo appearance).
And here's my wager: if I lose (more than half of my guesses turn out wrong), I'll draw a small fan-art series (10 strips).
If I win, hm ... let praise and honour be my reward

No worries. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3 18 2013 Today I received a review sample of the HM-901. I have not used any of the previous HiFIman daps so to those, I can not compare. I did not receive a user guide and with the screen in Chinese, I guess it was a test to see how I would do. :^) It took about 20 minutes to figure everything out and get it into English and then to realize that the SD slot is covered by a hard rubber door that pulls out. The tactile buttons take me back to the iRiver H120 series. Easy and straight forward to use and intuitive. The volume control is an analog type that has indents and will not change if packed along in a pocket of a coat or large pant pocket. More as this develops. Oh the packaging is solid as it is the same type as with the HE-6 headphones. Lots of fun awaits. Going from song to song or from album to album is very fast, almost no lag time, maybe a second if that. I am using micro SD cards in an adapter. With this using SDXC SD cards the sky is almost the limit on what storage will be available. 3 23 2013 This is one of the longer burn-ins to get a handle on the sound. Not that other devices I have listened to haven't taken some time but for me, the 901 has gone through some strange musical contortions. It started off sounding pretty good, then more and more diffuse and kind of staying that way. Today it is more focussed and enjoyable to use but that is later today, in other words, not so much not so much earlier. I just keep it going and going. With two dacs to burn-in with the caps to form and the amp section, well, I listen and then let it play and listen to other daps so I don't form myself to the sound of the 901 but listen objectively. The sounds are starting to snap back into place and there is layering now and finally, some good dynamics. Bass is also tightening up. 3 27 2013 Comparing the 901 to the AK100 (22ohm resistor bypassed): I find the 901 projects a better since of distance from the performance. It gets the music more out of your head. The placement of instruments is better defined with more sense of air around them. Also there is a great degree of vibrancy and life to the sound. This is not to say I do not enjoy the AK100 but to my ear, the 901 is better at rendering the pace and life of the recording. Bass has a better foundation and drive and is better focused. Mids are well fleshed out, with both male and female voice sounding realistic. 3 28 2013 I have been listening to Beethoven's 6th Symphony conducted by Norington and I am thoroughly enjoying in. Great dynamics very good imaging with excellent instrument timber. Horns are well fleshed out and the underlying bass is well controlled and natural in the delivery. A nice width and decent depth. Very smooth and yet dynamic. This is on my ATH-ESW10's. 3 30 2013 I am looking forward to trying other amplifier boards with the 901. At this point, I find that the 901 does excellent with classical music. It retrieves the right amount of detail while preserving the feel of the hall. Strings have that sweet singing sound. Horns sound like horns and wood instruments the right timbre. This goes for small groups to orchestras on a large scale. 4 6 2013 I have been listening with the JH13's and the 901. Very detailed in a good way. On some of my jazz recordings you can hear the slap of the pads on a sax or clarinet. While this isn't needed for musical enjoyment, the sound is there and can lead to a feeling of being up close to the music, which for me, can add to the realism. Bass drive is very good with well balanced approach in that it does not intrude but is seamless. Obviously the highs are there and male voice is not bassy (not a real word but I like it) but controlled and realistic. ------------------------------------ 12 27 2013 The 901 has proved out over time. Very solid in all types of music, the frequency response is quite neutral top to bottom. Bass has slam and the balanced card or Mini card seem to power just about any headphone with ease. Truly musical is what the 901 is and to me that is the ultimate complement, as that is what this is all about. The UI is pretty straight forward. A little wheel on the screen is moved by a wheel on the face of the unit. From there you can go to "folder" and choose an album and it cues up almost instantly. There is no artwork, but then I don't listen to artwork but I know some like it. This goes back to a utility that gets you to the music and lets you go to Now Playing, favorites, SD card, artist, genre, All Songs and Setting. ------------------------------------ Docking station release is tentatively set for March. Features: Dual Sabre dacs Module amplifier boards both single ended and balanced amplification - More on this when I get the balanced and IEM amp boards. Run time with full charge, approximately 11 hours with the single ended 8397 opamp, Currently I am getting 7 to 8 hours of run time. UI, simple and straight forward Tactile button operation, no touch screen Low and high gain HD (high definition) Vintage (3db down at high frequencies) Analog volume control SDXC SD memory card slot, SD micro cards with SD adapter Removable battery with upcoming separate battery charger for additional ready charged batteries 5 amp boards to be available: 1.. Balanced board 4Xopa627 and 4Xbuf634 2.. Balanced board 2Xopa8397 3.. IEM board specially tuned for IEM and having less power than the other boards, very quiet for IEM's! 4..

Buzzards Bay, Mass. – MIT's football team was put in a hole early today when Massachusetts Maritime started the game by returning the opening kickoff 79 yards for a score to take a 7-0 lead just 11 seconds in. Turnovers also hampered the Engineers as they threw five interceptions, one of which was returned by the Buccaneers for a score as they went on to a 51-13 win.
After Stefan Gustafson returned the opening kickoff for the early score, Massachusetts Maritime (2-0) went on to add a field goal on its first drive of the day to take a 10-0 lead with 8:32 left in the first quarter. MIT (1-1) could not find a groove on offense early on, going three and out on its first two drives of the day.
On the third MIT drive sophomore quarterback John Wenzel (Mandeville, La.) hooked up with freshman Alexander Chumbley (Atlanta, Ga.) on a 47-yard pass play that put the Engineers at the Massachusetts Maritime 19. But on the next play Wenzel was intercepted by Eddy Ramos, who returned the ball 74 yards to the MIT 17. Two plays later Keith Caruso ran it in from eight yards out to put the Buccaneers up 17-0.
Five minutes into the second quarter Massachusetts Maritime struck again, this time on a 49-yard pass from Mike Stanton to Jonathan Edmond to make it a 24-point lead. That duo proved to be a thorn in the Engineers side all day as they connected for a total of three touchdowns and 127 yards of passing.
MIT got on the board late in the second, getting a pair of 19-yard runs from freshman Benjamin Greenberg (Pleasantville, N.Y.) as it drove 67 yards in seven plays. Freshman Ben Hessels (Laytonsville, Md.) capped off the drive, taking it in from three yards out with 2:05 left in the half. The extra-point attempt was blocked, however, as the Buccaneers saw their advantage moved to 24-6. The momentum of the score was short lived for MIT, as Massachusetts Maritime took advantage of the Stanton-Edmond connection again. This time the pair hooked up on a 38-yard scoring play with just 13 second left in the half to take a 31-6 advantage into the locker room.
After a short MIT punt set up Massachusetts Maritime on the MIT 33 for its first drive of the half, the Buccaneers took advantage when they scored just four plays later on the final Stanton-Edmond TD of the game that dashed the comeback hopes of the Engineers. MIT drove into Maritime territory on its next possession, but an interception gave the Buccaneers the ball back. They tuned the miscue into an 11-play, 71-yard drive that pushed their advantage to 44-6 with 3:14 left in the third.
Massachusetts Maritime sealed the win on MIT's next drive when Mike Bois intercepted a Wenzel pass at the Maritime 41 and returned it 59 yards for the score. MIT scored its final points on its first drive of the fourth quarter when freshman Justin Wallace (Palatine, Ill.) ran for 49 yards on six carries as the Engineers went 72 yards in nine plays. Wallace completed the drive, taking it in from nine yards out TO complete the scoring for the day.
Total yardage was close between the teams, with Massachusetts Maritime outgaining MIT by a 388-311 margin. Wallace finished with 68 yards on 21 carries with Greenberg totaling 62 yards on 10 attempts. Freshman Brad Goldsberry (Elizabeth, Colo.) stood out among the MIT receivers, hauling in eight passes for 69 yards. Wenzel finished with 159 yards through the air, completing 14 of 31 attempts. Junior Aaron Fittery (Orange, Calif.) led the defense with 10 tackles, with freshman Erik Johnson (Grand Haven, Mich.) picking up his first career interception.
Stanton completed 12-of-18 passes for Massachusetts Maritime, totaling 192 yards and three scores. Emond finished with six catches for 127 yards, while Matt White led the rushing attack with 96 yards.
MIT will play at home for the first time this season next week on Sept. 24, hosting Curry College at 1:00 p.m.

While unemployment and underemployment in Silicon Valley is at record highs, Facebook at least is still hiring.
And two Facebook employees -- Soleio, a designer, and Putnam, an engineer -- are to be believed, the operator of the world's most self-important social network is a magical place where you can change the world with only a couple of days worth of work.
Of course, by "change the world," they mean "let you send videos to your friends online," something which you could do long before Facebook, but hey, these are geeks, not historians.
To be fair, Putnam does do a dead-on impression of cofounder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
What perks do Facebookers enjoy?
Well, three weeks of paid vacation, for starters; you'll never have to learn to do your own laundry thanks to a free laundry drop-off service; nor will you have to learn to cook, with three free meals a day -- for lunch Tuesday, the Facebook Cafe served Spanish-style oxtails braised with chorizo (or a soyrizo frittata for the vegetarians).
Basically, at Facebook, you never have to actually grow up.
It sounds like a delicious opportunity. But in reality, only if you're an engineer or manager. Customer service representatives? They made $18.75 an hour in 2008. Which sounds good, until you check out Palo Alto real-estate prices.
Jackson West knows folks who work at Facebook, and they are decent people, but the company still creeps him out a bit.

Raiders linebacker Quentin Groves put up an impassioned defense for his alma mater Wednesday in the wake of an HBO "Real Sports" segment alleging payment to players at Auburn.
Groves described the four players who said they received money from boosters as "medicore at best" and said their comments were simply made out of bitterness and poor decisions made while in college regarding their academic and athletic well-being.
A few of Groves comments on WJOX 94.5-AM in Birmingham, Ala.:
"The only thing I heard guys receiving was a great education, a great experience and great memories."
"Why would they pay (those) guys when they had Carnell Williams, Ronnie Brown, Carlos Rogers and Jason Campbell?"
"You had Ronnie Brown who was arguably one of the best players in his senior year, driving around a (early 1990s) Honda Accord with the back window busted out."
Groves said he and many other Auburn players were asked to participate, but the only players who responded _ Chaz Williams, Stanley McClover, Troy Reddick and Raven Gray, were marginal players.
He said he was actually close to McClover, and even called him after seeing the accusations. He said McClover told him HBO "helped with my camp."
"Everything will be out in the open tonight and if that's what he did, I have no words for him because the simple fact is, if you're going to turn your back on the schull that made you over something as little as this, then there's no telling what you'll do to me."
Groves scheduled a Ustream video to discuss the allegations this evening.

"Imagine your life like a gentle river that flows seamlessly along. You are in the middle floating peacefully as the river is taking you on your path or journey through life. Along the way you pick up stones and rocks that begin to weigh you down. This is the pain and harm caused towards you throughout life. As you continue to have new experiences that cause you anger, pain, jealousy, etc, you continue to grab more and more stones, weighing you down further. You become consumed by the water, your life is drowning and all you can feel is the pain that is caused by all the stones you have picked up along the way, never realizing that by simply letting go of the stones, you would once again rise to the top and float peacefully down the river through your path with life."
Have a wonderful day to all! xo…Hanh
